My best friend and I made our first trip to Ireland less than a year ago. I wasn’t very excited about it at the very beginning. But my uncle wanted me to visit Ireland and offered to pay for my trip. Then I did. All of the words “magical, charming and memorable” don’t even describe what Ireland is. Our favourites were Kilkenny, Cobh and Killarney. We did a self-driver tour.

We stayed in a castle in Dublin for two days, where my ancestors(祖先) came from. The town we thought we might be bored in was Kilkenny, but we loved every minute we were there. There were so many places to explore and the pictures we took were beautiful.

It was so exciting to see the little village of Cobh and know it was the last stop for the Titanic(a famous ship) at that time. We loved the visitor centre there and the little shops. We never got any bad food there. It was so mouth-watering at every stop! And when we stayed in Westmeath, we saw the Trim Castle through the windows and found some scenes from Brave Heart which was filmed there. We were so excited. Again, more beautiful pictures were taken in that tiny town.

We love the country, the people, the food and the magic. We would go back very soon. I was so thankful for my uncle who had given me the chance to be there.

I have no words to adequately describe our trip. Go, explore the small villages, eat and enjoy! I still look at my pictures and can’t believe I was actually there.

Have you ever complained why life is so tiring? Does the sky sometimes seem dark to you? Are your studies sometimes not successful?

While in school, sometimes you are tired of your lessons, but have you ever noticed the h 2. smile on your teacher’s face when you did a good job?

One day it is fine. Just before you want to go on a trip, it s 3. starts to rain. Maybe you would feel very sad and start complaining about the w 4. . But dear friend, why don’t you sit down and listen to the sound that the n 5. offers you? And with the timely rain, crops in the fields will g 6. better and better and farmers will have a good harvest.

Although everyone wants to succeed in what he tries to do, sometimes failures (失敗) can’t be a 7. . I think failure is not terrible, and the terrible thing is that we are a 8. of it and give up hopes easily. When we face failure, we must be confident of ourselves, draw some useful l 9. for the future from it and try our best to finish w 10. we have decided to do. Just as a popular saying goes, “Failure is the mother of success.”

Attitude (態(tài)度) decides everything. Let’s smile to whatever we meet and the whole world will smile to us.
