Near the end of the Second World War, Churchill delivered his most famous and the shortest speech: Never,
Never Give Up. The British and people in many other countries were tremendously encouraged, and finally went
through the hardest period in human history.
"Never give up" represents a strong and positive life attitude. Some people are ready to quit when they feel
they cannot endure the difficulties of some work or they think they cannot find a way to finish the required task.
Such people usually become upset and disappointed and lose their self-confidence, although they virtually can do
every thing well simply by trying once more. In cases such as acquiring second language, most people failed
simply because they had given up. Acquiring second language might be the easiest task among diverse academic
curriculums, because one can be successful only by plain repetition, though it is painstaking and time-consuming.

designed means are practicable. A superficial claim like I want to be a millionaire brings nothing. And an
unrealistic goal like inventing a perpetual motion machine is absolutely meaningless. But if we want to acquire a
second language, it is both realistic and meaningful. By careful planning, and relevant persistence we have no
reason to fail. And numerous examples tell us that even if the methods are problematic, many still finally attain
great achievements. Therefore, in most cases, the belief "Never, never give up" is really something that we should
always bear in mind.
