We middle school students have had many tests or exams. We have both achieved success and suffered from failure. Different students take different attitudes to failure.
Some fall in low spirits when they don’t do well in the exams. They usually lose heart and no longer study as hard as before. However, most students take an active attitude towards failure. They encourage themselves to be self-confident. They find out and analyze the causes so that they will no longer make similar mistakes.
As for me, I agree with those with active attitudes. As we all know, failure is the mother of success. Even great men may have failed many times before they succeeded. So we must deal with failure correctly.

Recently, our school had a hot discussion on the advantages and disadvantages of the tourism in China. Now I’d like to give a brief summary of it. Tourism brings China a lot of benefits. First, it enables the Chinese people to know more about the outside world and promotes friendship and understanding. Second, it makes more foreign currencies for the modernization program.
Tourism, however, brings about a number of problems. For instance, it becomes a burden to transportation system. Besides, it causes a lot of pollution to the environment.
With the development of our national economy, all these problems will certainly be solved step by step. I’m sure we’ll have a better and brighter future. (三)提纲类 [押题] Just Try to Relax During Exams

Just Try to Relax During Exams
As you know, most of us middle school students feel somehow nervous whenever we’re taking an important exam.There is no doubt that exams are important to us students, but it’s more important to have a right attitude towards them.As a matter of fact, exams are no more than a means of checking.Therefore there is no need to worry too much about the results.Study hard every day and make good preparations.Only in this way can we avoid suffering from the pressure of exams. We’d better go out for a walk or do some outdoor exercises during an exam.Besides, enough sleep can make us full of energy and make it possible for us to perform well in the exam.A warm bath or a cup of milk before going to bed might help us to have a sound sleep.So,my suggestion is:Don’t
worry about it,and just try to relax whatever happens.
