Assignment #8

How to... disagree

We usually directly negative someone when we have different opinions.

We always say "I don't agree with you", or "You're wrong!" It may create problems and unhappy for each other. This news tell us that there is no absolute right or wrong, just you stand on different side. If you want to be less direct, you can agree about something first, like "Although you're right about that...", "I agree with that, but...", and "I understand what you're saying, but..." If there's no chance of agreement, this phrase can help stop a long argument : "We'll have to agree to disagree."

Assignment #7 The key to success

I agree with her argument.

In her speech , she said “Grit is passion and perseverance for very long-term goals. Grit is sticking with your future, day in, day out, not just for the week, not just for the month, but for years, and working really hard to make that future a reality. 

I think that if you don’t have passion , you couldn’t keep continue to do so. And then ,you won’t be success.In my school life, I am not a smart student. If I want a great grade , I must study hard.Study hard is the only way I can do.

In this speech, my favorite sentence is “Grit is living life like it's a marathon, not a sprint.”

I like her metaphor. Grit is the long way to do. Success belong to the persevering.
