Nowadays, it is common{#blank#}1{#/blank#} more and more high school students open their own microblogs on the Internet. For one thing, it can provide a colorful platform to show their talent. For another, it is a useful way{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (release) their pressure. And all these make it more and more popular with high school students. But many parents and teachers hold a different view. They think that managing one's microblog will take a lot of time and energy，{#blank#}3{#/blank#} should be used to study.

    In my view, I am greatly in favor{#blank#}4{#/blank#} this activity. Today the Internet is playing {#blank#}5{#/blank#} important role in our life. Therefore, as high school students of the Information Age, we need to learn to make use of this{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (value) tool to communicate and display ourselves. What's more, opening and organizing microblogs need various abilities such as writing, designing, being skillful at computer and so on. Only if we master those abilities can we make a successful microblog. As a result, we improve ourselves while{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (organize) our micro blogs.

    In fact, the microblog {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(oneself) is of little harm. It is your attitude towards it that{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (matter). We should take the{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(advantage) and avoid some bad effects.

    Adversity(逆境) can beat you down, {#blank#}1{#/blank#}probably it also has the ability to make you stronger. The impact and ultimate result depend on {#blank#}2{#/blank#}you do with the difficulties that come in your way.

    Beethoven composed one of his {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(great) works after going deaf. Sir Walter Raleigh wrote The History of the World during his thirteen-year imprisonment. Had Columbus turned back, no one could{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(blame) him. Of course，no one would have remembered{#blank#}5{#/blank#}, either. Abraham Lincoln made great achievements by his display of wisdom during the Civil War.

    Eventually，consider a more recent example. For sixteen years, Mary Groda-Lewis had a difficult time in recognizing and comprehending the written words on account of a learning disorder. She{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(put) in prison on two different occasions and almost died of a stroke when{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (bear)a child. Committed to going to college, she did a variety of odd jobs to save money. When she graduated from high school at eighteen, she was considered as an outstanding and finally entered college {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (success). Determined to become a doctor，she received many medical school{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(reject) before Albany Medical College finally accepted her. In 1984，Dr. Mary Groda-Lewis，{#blank#}10{#/blank#}was thirty-five years old then, graduated with honors and realized her dream.
