Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on Facing Setbacks in a Positive Way by referring to the saying "Life has to have cracks in it so that the sun can shine through." You can cite examples to illustrate your point and then explain how you can develop your ability to face failure "properly. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.

参考答案:     As the saying goes, "Life has to have cracks in it so that the sun can shine through." Everyone wishes to have things go their way. Yet the journey through life is not always the case and we should face all the setbacks positively. 
    Twists and turns are part of life and setbacks often occur. No one can avoid these unexpected changes in our daily life. However, failure may be a route toward success. This causes us to reflect on what has happened,face it positively and as a result we build up and accumulate experience. Jack Ma, for instance, one of the most prestigious entrepreneurs in China, experienced many failures in starting his own business before he made Alibaba one of the Chinese Internet giants. In general, it is failure that encourages us to work harder and eventually leads to success. 
    Twists and turns in life are unavoidable and are not always bad. We should have a more optimistic view on life and try to make the most of it, learning from the twists and turns along the way.
