Those are all the wrong ways! Robinson Crusoe can tell you the 1 answer!
It is 2 exciting story: Robinson Crusoe hated the comfortable life in his hometown, 3
he wanted to be a seaman and travelled around the world. But one day a terrible thing happened. A great storm
came and their boat crashed! No one was alive in this accident 4 Robinson. He was the 5
man in the world. Because all his friends were 6 but he was alive. 7 , at the same time he was
the most tragic (悲惨的) man of all. He must face the fact.
He was alone on an island 8 food, water or guns! But all roads lead to Rome! He just used his
9 to work hard! Then he made a cave, built a house, grew corn and kept guns. In the end, he could 10
the life on the island.
In his twenty-fourth year on the island, he saved a wild man and gave him the name of “Friday”. With
Robinson’s head, “Friday” became a good servant (佣人). Finally they got a boat and 11 the island.
Surely the writer of Robinson Crusoe is 12 a hero! It’s too hard to describe Robinson with
words. We could say that Robinson was very 13 and also he was brave. Certainly 14 good
words can describe him. But now I think the most important thing is 15 we have learned from the story.
That is, we should work hard with confidence by depending on ourselves!
