大学英语六级作文 Topic 4

Topic 4. Need we never give up?

When Wallace watched the spider fail 6 times in spinning a web and succeed at the 7th time he realized that he should lead his Scottish people to fight against the English invaders¹ for another time. And he too succeeded. Whenever we face some difficulties or suffer setbacks in our projects we can always gain strength from the popular saying never give up. But need we never give up? Apparently² there are always goals we can never achieve however hard we tried. We could not win the top prize in every contest. Whatever treatment used we may fail to lend them the life of someone beloved. There are always frustrations³ and some are just beyond us. It is thus wise to accept the reality, ie to give up sometimes. As college students we need the same never give up to keep us going. But we also need to learn to come to terms with reality. When occasionally I heard news of some college students committing suicide I said to myself, if only they have learned to give up.
