TOEFL® Essay: Never, never give up

[Konstantin]

Hello!
Question:
The expression “Never, never give up” means keep trying and never stop working for your goals. Do you agree or disagree with the statement? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

Answer:

Every successful person could say that for achievement a good result you must work hard and don’t give up your business in any case. I try to follow this advice and during all my life I have seen numerous examples confirm such position.

I agree with the saying of a Greek philosopher that the quantity goes into the quality anywhere. You could become a good businessman, sportsman or statesman if you choose your own way and never go away from it. A year ago I have started to attend the American corner in our city. During first three months there I didn’t understand anything, but I have continued to visit this conversation club and little by little my English level has picked up. Then I have started to improve English with any possible ways and I was given my first big hand during the report about samurai in the American corner last week. If I gave these attempts up I would never feel these exciting emotions.

Our life is a competition and only most persevering people could finish that competition with the good outcome. If you do even small step in the direction of your goal every day sooner or later you will achieve it. I read about one American student; unfortunately I forgot his name, who wanted to improve the governmental educational system. He had sent his prepositions to 350 places and only 351’st letter was successful. He had lived in the small car but some years after his first success he was awarded with the one of the biggest grants in the USA’s history.

Your first results in any business will be not so good but if you give up it you’ll make the big error. There is a great site, where I could publish my essays and communicate with English teachers and interesting people from the whole world. There is a man there. When I read his first essays I thought that they are bad. But he has continued to write three essays per day and after couple of week he achieved a great result. Now I read his compositions with pleasure.

I guess that everyone could achieve incredible goals. We must only continue our motion towards the aims overcoming any obstacles.

Congratulations!
