3. Summarizing your idea. Your

answer

When we talk about what can contribute to a person's success, many words, such as perseverance, creativity, luck, and so on, will appear in our minds. Some people argue that luck has nothing to do with a person's success and attribute a person's success to many other factors. In my opinion, however, luck sometimes plays an indispensable role in one's success. Luck is not something that we can control, but being lucky really helps in one's success. Personally I think it is better to be lucky than to be rich. If you are poor but lucky, you might be

rich someday. If you are rich but unlucky, you are in trouble.

Though persistence and some other factors contribute to one's success, luck will help one to be successful more quickly. For example, the famous inventor Edison, who invented the electric bulb in the 19th century. Throughout his invention process, we can see what an important role persistence and other factors played, but at the same time we must admit luck also played a

part.

If

it

had

not

occurred

to

Edison

to

use

metal

in

his

experiment,

the

light

might

not

have

appeared

until

the

next

century.

In conclusion, though success mainly depends on hard work, perseverance, creativity, and some other things, luck will help a person to succeed to some extent.

B. Story dictation

Listen to a story and fill in the missing words. The story will be read three times. The first and the third times it will be read at normal speed, and the second time there will be a 10-second pause for each missing part.

Now listen to the story:

Several months ago, my friend, Jerry, was shot by three armed robbers. After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of care, Jerry was released from the hospital with parts of the bullets still in his body.

I saw Jerry about six months after the accident. When I asked him how he was, he replied, \ I refused to see his woundsbut did ask him what had gone through his mind as the robbery took place. Jerry replied, \ I remembered that I had two choicescould choose to die. I chose to live.\

. But when they wheeled me into the operation room and

,

: I could choose to live or I

I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared. In their eyes, I read 'he's a dead man'. I knew I needed to take action.\ \ She asked if I was allergic to anything

. 'Yes,' I replied. The doctors and nurses

stopped working as they waited for my reply. I took a deep breath and shouted, 'Bullets!' Over their laughter, I told them, 'I am choosing to live. Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead.'\

Jerry lived thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude. I learned from him that every day we have the choice to live fully. (5) Attitude, after all, changes

everything
