高二英语口语练习文章

　　1.Be an Optimist

　　Do you see the glass as half-full rather than hall empty? The two different answers to the question represent two different attitudes towards life -- optimistic attitude andpessimistic attitude.

　　Optimism always leads to happiness, health and success while pessimism, by contrast, results in hopelessness, sickness and failure. That's because optimists and pessimists deal with the same challenges and disappointments in very different ways. When things go wong the pessimist tends to blame himsell, while the optimist looks for loop holes. The optimist feels in control of his oval life. If things are going badly, he acts quickly, looking for solutions, forming a new plan of action, and seeking for advice. On the contrary, the pessimist yields to the arrangement of fate and moves slowly. He doesn't seek advice, since he assumes nothing can be done.

　　Most people are a mix of optimism and pessimism. Optimism is important in all aspects of our lives. If you can change your mind from pessimism to optimism, you can change your life.

　　2.Most beautiful in a Mirror

　　When facing a mirror, how do you feel? Proud? Satisfied? Or sad? In fact, most people look the most beautiful just when looking at themselves in the mirror. It is probably because everyone wishes to be flattered, especially by a “fair” mirror. That the reflections in the mirrors show their beauty makes them feel comfortable.

　　So a suggestion has been given: “Smile to a mirror when you feel lonely.” Of course, if you are really smiling to your heart, you will be glad to enjoy your look, even the spots on it, which are regarded as your own characters. Now, one’s look depends on one’s heart, though at the same time, the mirrors unfair. The spots, however, will not go away unless you clear them. Flattery is never true, it must prevent you from improving yourself. In the end, I would like to say: Let the mirror put its finger on your weak spot, then you may be the most beautiful in the fair life.

　　3.The Key to Success

　　Everyone gets the itch to succeed, but only part of them can make their dreams come true. You maybe wonder: what is the key to success? The answer is “To keep the desire to learn”.

　　Keep the desire to learn, and you will never be satisfied with what you have known. Always keep a curious mind to all the mysterious parts of the world. Keep the desire to learn, and whatever difficulties you face, the strong belief will support you in solving the problems. Keep the desire to learn, just as Ms Curie puts it: “Nothing in the world is to be feared, it is only to be understand.” So everything is possible if we try our best and never give up.

　　One who does not have the desire to learn will never reach their goals. They are always shortsighted and are easily be satisfied with the very little thing they have known. In fact, knowledge, just like the ocean, never has a rim. Whenever and wherever you are, you should remember: what you are learning is only the surface.

　　In a word, always keep the desire to learn, and the door of success will open to you one day.
