Keep Positive and Optimistic
ecently, I have seen an impressive film –Precious, which tells the growing experiences about a pretty fat black girl, Precious Jones, a girl living in the Harlem. The film reveals the poor and miserable life in the Harlem, but at the same time, it encourages people to take a positive and optimistic attitude to face it, no matter how difficult it is.
Precious is so undereducated that she can not read and write formally. What’s worse, she is usually knocked around by her irascible mother. Worst of all, she is sexually assaulted by her stepfather and has two children before the age of seventeen. Owing to the situation she gets involved, she has to leave school and is introduced to alternative school. After waging many struggles and overcoming many difficulties, she finds the goals of life again with the help of her teacher and classmates.
In the film, Precious insists on keeping her children all the time though she gets involved in trouble. She has a firm belief that she can get rid of the past life and start the new one and she really makes it finally. Her insistence tells me that keeping positive and optimistic would make a great contribution to achieve dream.
In life, many people are easy to feel frustrated by meeting a bit of setback. As far as I am concerned, we need to learn to keep positive and optimistic when facing difficulties so that we have more power to keep and pursue our dreams.

保持积极乐观
最近，我看了一部印象深刻的电影——《珍爱》。这部电影讲述的是一个生活在哈勒姆区的美丽胖女孩珍爱琼斯的成长经历。它揭露了哈勒姆区贫穷痛苦的生活，但是，它也同时鼓励了人们不管遇到什么样的困难都要以积极乐观的态度去面对生活。
珍爱受到很少的教育，所以她不能正常地读书写字。更糟的是，她经常被她母亲暴躁的脾气逼得四处流浪。最糟的是，她被继父，未满17岁就有了两个小孩。鉴于她所遭遇的情况，她不得不辍学到替代学校学习。在经历了一些挣扎，克服许多困难后，在老师和同学的帮助下她重新找到了生活的目标。
在电影中，尽管遇到很多困难，珍爱仍然坚持抚养她的孩子。她坚信她能够摆脱过去的生活有全新的开始，最终她做到了。她的坚持告诉我们，保持积极乐观有助于实现梦想。
在生活中，很多人遇到一点挫折就容易觉得沮丧。在我看来，遇到困难的时候，我们应该学会保持积极乐观的态度，这样我们就有更多的力量去维持和追逐我们的梦想。
