[范文] On Adversity
Everyone meets setbacks in life. In fact, adversity can exert great influence on people, but what matters is how people deal with it.
When confronted with adversity, people have different responses. Some consider it a stumbling block to success, and feel depressed; others think it the stairway to great accomplishments and try to overcome it with constant struggles. Therefore, the latter will recognize their disadvantages from the temporary setback, learn lessons from it and grow stronger.
In my opinion, painful and depressing as it is, adversity endows us with great confidence and problem-solving abilities that are the keys to achieving success.

论逆境
每个人在生活中都会遇到挫折。事实上,逆境可以对人们产生巨大的影响,但重要的是人们如何应付它。
面对逆境时,人们有不同的反应。有些人认为这是成功的绊脚石,并感到沮丧;其他人则认为这是通往伟大成就的阶梯,并试图通过不断的奋斗来克服它。因此,后者将从暂时的挫折中认识到自己的劣势,从中吸取教训,并变得更加强大。
在我看来,尽管逆境令人痛苦和沮丧,但是它赋予我们巨大的信心和解决问题的能力,这些是取得成功的关键。
