File No.1
Daniel Defoe was an English writer, who is best known for his novel Robinson Crusoe, although he also wrote hundreds of other works. He published Robinson Crusoe in 1719 at the age of 59. Today, it remains one of the most famous tales of survival ever told. Countless readers have been encouraged by Robinson Crusoe’s qualities, which go beyond his survival on a desert island. Such qualities can help us cope in a crisis, no matter what or where it is.

Woman: Richard, are you familiar with the story of Robinson Crusoe?
Man: Of course, it's a very famous story of survival.
Woman: So what do you think helps Crusoe get through a hard life on a small island for 28 years?
Man: Well, the way I see it, one important thing for his survival is his calmness in the face of the difficult situation. Finding himself alone on an island, he doesn't lose his head, but gets necessary things, such as guns, tools and food from the ship, before it is completely destroyed by a storm.
Woman: I can't agree more. And personally, I think he is also very wise, and he actively seeks ways to solve problems. Just as you mentioned, with his gun and the rice, he can hunt for and grow his own food.
Man: Yes, I think you are right. I am also amazed by how knowledgeable he is. He knows to live in a cave and build a fence to keep himself safe. And he can make a fire by rubbing pieces of wood together. That's pretty clever. What's your take on this?
Woman: I think so, too. And what about when he makes tools, such as spades out of wood and cups out of clay? Remember? He even makes his own clothes by sewing animal skins together. Without those things, he would have had a much harder time there!
Man: That's true. But to me, his patience and perseverance also play a vital part in his survival. I'm quite impressed when he takes 18 whole days to widen and deepen his cave with simple tools made of wood. And what surprises me more is that when the
cave is ruined by a sudden fall of earth, he doesn't feel depressed, but quickly redoes the work, using wooden posts to make the cave stronger than before.
Woman: Yes, I see what you're getting at. And I believe that also reveals his positive attitude. He says,"I learned to look more upon the bright side of my condition, and less upon the dark side, and to consider what I enjoyed rather than what I wanted." That's quite inspiring.
Man: And it's really good advice we should all follow in the face of a crisis.
