[写一写]
In the text the writer shows us how to catch snakes in her country without hurting them and how to apply for a patent.
There is no doubt that success is what everyone expects. But failure is a common thing in one’s life. Almost everyone experiences failure in his life. Take the writer as an example. She tried three ways in order to catch the snakes but not harm them. She failed twice, but she didn’t give it up. She continued improving her design, and as a result, she succeeded.
As a saying goes, “Failure is the mother of success.” It is true that the way to success is full of difficulties. Many important inventions or discoveries were achieved after hundreds of failure.
If I meet a problem, I will try my best to solve it. I won’t give it up even if I fail many times. I will stick to it and achieve the final success.
I hope that everyone can use their head when they have a problem. Don’t lose heart even if you fail many times.
