As Grade 9 students, every day we have lots of exercises to do and many exams to take. Some of us feel worried, and some even lose heart.
There is a saying, "Difficulty is like a spring(弹簧). If you are weak, it will be strong." So we will not help ourselves if we lose heart.
Once I read a short story called The Smile, written by a French writer. In this book, he talks about his own experience in World War Ⅱ. As a pilot, he tried his best to fight for his country. The enemy caught him and sent him into jail(监狱) unluckily. But he tried to think of ways to escape(逃跑).
One day he asked his jailor(狱卒) for a light. When the jailor came up to him, he smiled politely and naturally. The jailor seemed to be affected and smiled too.
Then they began to talk. They both took out pictures of their families and showed them to each other. The pilot said sadly that he would never see his family again because he was to be killed. He would not have a chance to see his children grow up.
The jailor was moved by the pilot's words. Without saying a word, he quietly set the pilot free.
This man did not give up, even in such a terrible situation. Surely we can do the same.
