Have you ever stayed deep underground in a cave? You have no food and the oxygen(氧气)is running out. You're not even sure if anyone knows you're down there
A soccer team of 12 young Thai boys, as well as their coach, bad to go through this experience this summer. They became trapped ( 困 住 )in a cave in Thailand on June 23,spending 18 days inside until they were saved by an international team of divers(潜水员).
After hearing the news that a former Thai Navy SEAL（海军海豹突击队员）died while trying to save these kids, my friends and I talked about the situation and felt as if there might be no way to get the children out.
But we held out hope anyway. We refused to give up hope for these kids, even when the situation seemed quite dark. We were rewarded for our hope when they were finally saved.
It can be hard to hold out hope in dark times. Every day, we read or hear about the terrible things that happen in the world. This makes it hard for us to say positive. Some people go through their lives thinking that the worst is always just around the corner.
However, I believe that it's especially important to stay positive during difficult times. This is the best way to deal with the challenges that we face in life. As people often say: there is always a light at the end of the tunnel(隧道).
