Insistence or Giving up
There is a battle in our daily life. Two forces are fighting with each other again and again. They never stop until you are buried in the earth. We called them insistence and giving up. They are like twins. One is angle, and the other is a demon..
As we all know, we want to pass the CET-4. So we get our own strategy. First of all, I am bound to master five thousand vocabularies. Second, I will write an article every week which is at least two hundred words. Then I will read at least two English articles, make more friends with foreigners for learning native English, and listening to some English news broadcast every day.
Nevertheless, according to my strategy, the first day, I should wake up at 6 a.m. to memorize at least twenty words. The alarm clock rings for me; I should get rid of my bed in order to study. Suddenly, “Giving up” came and whispered to me. “What about a five-minute prolong sleeping? How soft, comfortable this bed is! But Ms Insistence urged me, “Don’t listen to him; Come on, let’s carry out our plan.” Her voice is sweet, but not what I need.
Time flies! If we can’t seize every opportunity to appreciate time, Mr. Giving up will win all the time. Insistence of your plan, your dream may not be accomplished successfully, but giving up, you are sure to fail in life. (237w)

Answer 1

The author told us about his strategy for the CET-4 and how two forces called insistence and giving up affected him endlessly. But he thought that we should be insistent so as to achieve our goals.
Insistence is of great significance for our study and work, for it not only urges us to keep on trying, esp. when we are faced with difficulties but it can also help us to get rid of fear and laziness. As every one knows, if we always give up, we will never be successful. It reminds me of a similar experience. I participated in a piano lesson when I was young. Since it was difficult and boring to sit before the piano, practising dull music pieces again and again while others were just playing, it was not long before I gave it up. However, now I consider it a great pity that I didn't insist on practicing it. Every time I saw others playing the piano beautifully, I would feel jealous of them. If only I hadn't given it up, I would also be expert at playing the piano now!
So my dear friends, I strongly recommend that only with insistence can your dream eventually come true!
