Now read the passage and check.
Dear head teacher, teachers, parents and fellow students, I’m very proud that you have chosen me to speak to you today.
I have three roses here: a red one, a yellow one and a white one. These roses are to thank three groups of people for the three most important things that I have learnt. These three things are friendship, effort and trust.
I give the red rose to my friends. When I started school here, my Chinese was not good, and some of my mistakes were very funny. I once tried to say “xiexie”， but I said “xiaxia” instead. Of course some people laughed,
and I felt quite silly. But they were not laughing at me. They taught me to say many things in Chinese and kindly invited me to join them. Today, thanks to their kindness， my Chinese is much better, and we have become friends. So, let me say “xiexie” again to all of you for your help.
I give the white rose to my teachers, who have taught me that there is no success without effort. When I started running in the 800 metres, I always finished last and I just wanted to give up. But the PE teacher, Ms Huang, helped me. She ran along with me, and she said, “You only really lose if you give up！” I still can’t run fast enough, but I’ve learnt to try my best, not only with running but with whatever else I do.
I give the yellow rose to my parents for teaching me that love is about trust. When I wanted to learn the violin, my father told me that I should work harder at maths. I was disappointed. Then, on the morning of my birthday, I woke up to find a beautiful violin at my bedside. There was a note from my father: “I’m sure you will be good at music. I know that you will be better at maths.”
I’m sure that you all have your own memories about the happiness of the last three years, and the people whom you want to thank for it, so let’s all stand up and say, “Thank you, friends, teachers and parents! We love you！”

【解析】句意为：——爸爸，数学对我来说太难了。——或许有一点儿，但是不要放弃，亲爱的。我会帮助你的。give up意为“放弃”，符合句意。
辨析：give up 与give in
give up 相当于及物动词，后接名词或动词的
ing形式。
give in 意为“屈服；让步”，相当于不及物动词，后不能接宾语。
eg：She will give up the journey.
她将放弃这次旅行。
The enemies were forced to give in.
敌人被迫投降。

disappointing “令人失望的”，通常修饰事物，表示事物给人的一种感觉
一言辨异：
We are all very disappointed，because the result is too disappointing.
我们都很失望，因为这个结果太令人失望了。
disappointed为形容词，常见的用法：
be disappointed at/by/with/in；be disappointed to do；be disappointed＋that从句。
eg：I was disappointed that the party had been
called off. 聚会已经被取消了，我很失望。
