请阅读下面这则寓言故事并谈谈自己的看法,写一篇80词左右的评论。
A peacock(孔雀) was very unhappy with her ugly voice,so she spent most of her days complaining about it.
“It is true that you cannot sing,” said the fox,“but look how beautiful you are!”
“Oh,but what good is all this beauty,” cried the bird,“with such an unpleasant voice!”
“Listen,” said the fox,“each one owns something good:you have such beauty;the nightingale(夜莺) has her songs;and the owl(猫头鹰) has his eyes.Even if you had a sweet voice,you would still complain about another thing.Why can’t you just be happy about what you have already got?”
参考范文
The fable is about a peacock who complains about her ugly voice,ignoring her true beauty.But a fox advises that she be content with what she owns.
After reading it,I understand that we teenagers should make good use of our advantages,stopping complaining about the shortcomings all the time.Had the peacock realised this,she would not have been so upset.
Many people make the same mistake.Take my friend Mike as an example.He usually complains that he can’t play basketball well because he is not tall enough.Never will he know how much we admire him!In fact,nobody can develop very well in all aspects even if he/she is a talent.So we should stay positive and value what we have instead of complaining too much.
