A Film Recommendation Letter Dear X, I can’t wait to share you a romantic comedy, The Postman, telling the story happening in an insular Italian island, where a poorly-educated postman befriended the famous Chilean poet, Pablo Neruda. With a series of relaxing and humorous plots, I promise the film will suit your tastes and arise your heartfelt laughs. More profoundly, it also features as romantic love, poems, and utopia and relates that how Neruda spiritually led the postman on the way for idealism and how poems became the fortune of the poor guy. Although the film is not a commercial success, it receives mostly positive reviews from film critics. Wish you enjoy this movie. I am looking forward to your reply.

Family Education There exists a phenomenon that some parents set very bad examples in children’s growth. Adults behaviours, always neglected by some elderships, play so important a role in shaping children’s habits and outlooks, both in study and in life. For example, if parents are watching low-level TV programs or entertaining while their kids are studying, it will not only disturb their focusing on study, but worse, give them an implication that they can act as their parents, thus developing a distraction habit in the concentration-need occasions, let alone study. From my perspective, although school and teachers serve as the main function of education, it can’t be oversimplified that the moderate guidance and a healthy atmosphere of family also matter. Taught by verbal instruction as well as a positive role model, children are more encouraged to develop the habit of single-minded learning.

Attitude Towards Difficulties: A Cartoon Comment As is vividly and symbolically conveyed in the drawing above, confronted with the same situation that a water bottle is knocked over, one man is expressing his disappointment that “there is none left”, while another man is eager to pick up the bottle, saying “it is lucky that there is still some left”. Obviously, the cartoon is trying to shows that the different people have different outlooks towards difficulties, which will determine their way to cope with them. Possessing an optimistic attitude, people in the dilemma always bear hope in mind and summon up courage to find the way to conquer the obstacles. Take the great blind and deaf American author, Helen Keller, for example, it is her positiveness, gratefulness and courage that leave her out the crippled body and to explore the world where she existed. However, when facing difficulties, the pessimistic person only focuses on the negative side and exaggerates the worst situation. They choose to give up quickly and then brood over their loss or failure, which in turn will throw their life in the vicious circle. From the above discussion, we come to know that the optimism is more desirable in such bad circumstances like the cartoon, especially in the current highly competitive society, where we always encounter one setback or another. Only if we obtain a positive attitude, can we be bound to live a life of happiness.
