A. If we never challenge ourselves, we will begin to doubt our abilities. In short, it is important that we do not give up when working for our goals. Whether we succeed in the end or not, we will learn something, and what we learn will help us to become better, more confident people.
B. A person who believes in him or her will keep trying to reach his or her goal（目标） no matter how many times he or she fails. I think the quality of determination(决心) to succeed is an important one to have. So I believe that we should never give up.
C. Besides, if we always give up when we fail, we will not be able to develop new
skills and grow as people. Another reason we should never give up is that we can learn from our mistakes only if we make a new effort(努力).
D.One reason is that if we give up too easily, we will not achieve anything. It is not unusual for us to fail in our first attempt at something new, so we should not feel discouraged and should try again.
E. If we do not try again, the lesson we have learned is wasted. Finally, we should never give up because as we work to reach our goals, we develop confidence, and this confidence can help us succeed in other areas of our lives.

Now people who are in different parts of the world communicate easier than before. But it is a little hard to understand each other well. Some of them may not understand others’ words, so it’s easy to make a few mistakes.
For example, an important question about eating out, is who pays for the meal. If a friend of yours suggests you have lunch with him, you might simply say something like this, “I’m afraid it will have to be some place inexpensive, as I have very little money.” The other person might say, “OK. I will meet you at McDonald’s.” This means it is agreed that the two will go Dutch, that is, each person pays for himself. He might also say, “Oh, no. I want to take you to lunch at Johnson’s”, or “ I want you to try the steak(牛排) there. It is great.” This means that the person intends to pay the bill for both of you. If you feel friendly towards this person, there is no reason why you shouldn’t accept this invitation. You might simply say, “Thank you. That would be very nice.”
