Courage is often thought to be one of the important spirits everyone needs. Then what is courage? One isn't necessarily born with courage, but one is born with potential(潜力). Kids build courage as they are growing up.
Many people talk about connections between courage and fear. If there is no fear, there is no need for courage. That is to say, courage is the ability to do what makes you feel afraid. Courage doesn't only mean great actions such as saving one's life or taking a big risk. For example, we show courage when we raise our hand to answer a hard question during class or try a new sport.
Courage is in everyday choices we make. Can you be kind to the new kid in class? Or can you stand up for someone in need? Often, these things don't come with praise, but they need courage.
When we become brave enough to face failure, we'll be more willing to try new things and try again after we fail. Courage doesn't always shout. Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says, "I'll try again tomorrow."
A. You should learn to speak in public. B. It is the ability to do something difficult. C. Courage always stands side by side with fear. D. Can you listen to the new person in your group? E. Learning to fail is another important part of courage. F. Courage also means the smaller actions of our everyday lives. |
There are nine National Parks in England.
Are National Parks in England the same as those in other countries?
Many National Parks around the world cover huge areas of land where nobody lives, but in England most of the countryside within them is used for farming and other activities.
Are there any problems in the National Parks?
There are about 110 million visitors to the parks every year. As a result, many popular towns and villages are overcrowded, and car parks and roads are full of traffic. Also, life is difficult for people who live there, because more and more gift shops and cafés are opened instead of those everyday shops. Another main problem is litter which is dangerous to animals.
How can people help?
All National Parks in England call on the Countryside Code, which tells people how to take care of their environment. If people follow these rules, the National Parks will be protected.
