"We regret to inform you..." These are the words that every writer dreads receiving, but words every writer knows well. The response from a publisher comes back and the writer eagerly opens and reads it, their hearts sinking when they reach that final sentence. You may have spent years giving up your weekends and free time to write your life's work, yet still this is often not enough.

Take for example J.K.Rowling. When she received her first rejection letter, she decided that it meant she now had something in common with her favorite writers, and stuck it on her kitchen wall. Rowling had spent years surviving on little money, spending all her time writing. When she finally finished her first book, she received comments from publishers along the lines of "too difficult for children", "too long", "Children would not be interested in it". Nevertheless, she persevered. "I wasn't going to give up until every single publisher turned me down, but I often feared that would
All too often writers of great works have had to face criticism along with rejection. J.D. Salinger started writing short stories in high school, but later struggled to get his works published. "We feel that we don't know the central character well enough" was the criticism he received on his manuscript for The Catcher in the Rye. Despite rejections from several publishers, J.D. Salinger refused to give up. Even when serving in the US Army during the Second World War, he carried six chapters of The Catcher in the Rye with him and worked on the novel throughout his war service.
Bronte Sisters
Perhaps the overall prize for perseverance should go to three sisters from Victorian England who dreamt of seeing their words in print. This, however, was a time when women were not encouraged to become writers. As the then Poet Laureate, Robert Southey, wrote to one of them :"Literature cannot be the business of a woman's life, and it ought not to be." Nevertheless the sisters didn't stop trying. Their response was to write a book of poems under male names. Even when the book sold only two copies, the sisters still didn't give up.
They started writing novels, and today Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre, Emily Bronte’s Wuthering Heights and Anne Bronte's Agnes Grey are regarded as classics of world literature. In fact, it's within the pages of Jane Eyre that we can find these words: "I honor endurance, perseverance, industry, talent; because these are the means by which men achieve great ends...
Men achieve great ends because they possess ___________ _______________ __________ and ________. That’s why I think these are as valuable for men as for ___________.

Reference text
Today in class, we played a game called “the blind traveller”, in which one has to walk through some barriers with their eyes blindfolded. It is through this experience that I started to realise how inconvenient life could be for a blind person.
Not being able to see where I was going, I kept going off the path and turning in the wrong direction. What’s
more, without the ability to accurately locate the position of the barriers, I often fell over them, even though I was moving at an extremely slow speed. And a loss of balance increased the difficulty of this short journey. After falling over more than ten times, I finally reached my destination on hands and knees.
Reference text
Without sight, I couldn’t even complete this short journey of no more than 15 metres smoothly, let alone overcome all the other various difficulties in daily life. I do realise that life must be much more challenging for the blind people.

Background information
Helen Keller (1880-1968 ) was an American writer, lecturer and social activist. She was born with the ability to see and hear. Aged just 19 months old, she lost her hearing and sight as the result of an illness. With the help of her teacher Anne Sullivan, she overcame her disabilities and went on to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree.
On the first day, she would want to see the kind people who have helped her and accompanied her through life. Then she would like to see the books which have opened her mind. In the afternoon she would take a long walk in the woods and appreciate the beauty of nature.
On the second day, she would like to see a display of the progress of civilisation. She would go to the museums and spend the evening at a theater or at the movies.
On the third day, she would again greet the dawn anxious to discover new delights, new revelations of beauty. She would spend the third day observing people in their day-to-day life.
Read and find out what the author would do if she could see.
Choose the author's purpose in writing the passage and give your reasons.
1 To help readers understand what it is like to be blind.
2 To make readers without disabilities
appreciate what they have.
3 To persuade readers to care about the blind.

失明的我可以给那些看得见的人们一个提示——对那些能够充分利用天赋视觉的人们一个忠告：善用你的眼睛吧，犹如明天你将遭到失明的灾难。同样的方法也可以应用于其它感官。聆听乐曲的妙音，鸟儿的歌唱，管弦乐队的雄浑而铿锵有力的曲调吧，犹如明天你将遭到耳聋的厄运。抚摸每一件你想要抚摸的物品吧，犹如明天你的触觉将会衰退。嗅闻所有鲜花的芳香，品尝每一口佳肴吧，犹如明天你再不能嗅闻品尝。充分利用每一个感官，通过自然给予你的几种接触手段，为世界向你显示的所有愉快而美好的细节而自豪吧！不过，在所有感官中，我相信，视觉一定是最令人赏心悦目的。
