老师：Hello everyone, I'm Zhu Jie from Liang Xiang High School, affiliated to Beijing Normal University. Welcome to my class. From today on, we are going to learn Unit 2 onwards and upwards about the topic of never giving up in face of difficulties. So we need to keep going onwards and upwards. In this lesson, we are going to focus on the first passage of this unit, we regret to inform you, and focus on reading.
老师：First, I would like to invite you to listen to a poem called don't quit. Please open your book to page thirteen. When you are listening, please think about this question. What message does this point want to deliver? Okay, let's listen.
学生：Don't quit when things go wrong, as they sometimes will, when the road you're trudging seems all uphill, when the funds are low and the debts are high and you want to smile, but you have to sigh, when care is pressing you down a bit, rest if you must, but don't you quit.
学生：Life is queer with its twists and turns, as every one of us sometimes learns. And many a failure turns about when he might have won had he stuck it out. Don't give up. Though the pace seems slow, you may succeed with another blow. Success is failure turned inside out. The silver tint of the clouds of doubt, and you never can tell just how close you are. It may be near when it seems so far. So stick to the fight when your hardest hit. It's when things seem worst that you must not quit. Excerpts from don't quit by Edgar Albert Guest.
