Section C: Critical Writing (评论性写作) [20 marks]

Question 20 — Writing Task

Marking Scheme:

Total: /20

Exemplar Response (Topic A — for reference):

我同意"失败是成功之母"这个说法。每一次失败都是一次学习的机会，只要我们不放弃，从失败中吸取教训，最终一定能取得成功。

爱迪生发明电灯时，尝试了上千种材料，经历了无数次失败。但他从未放弃，而是把每一次失败都当作排除错误选项的过程。最终，他成功找到了合适的灯丝材料，发明了电灯。如果他在第一次失败后就放弃，人类可能还要在黑暗中摸索很多年。

我自己也有类似的经历。三年级时，我参加学校的演讲比赛，因为紧张忘词，在台上愣住了，结果没有获奖。那次失败让我非常难过，但我没有因此放弃。之后我每天对着镜子练习，还请妈妈当听众给我提意见。第二年，我再次参加演讲比赛，这次我获得了二等奖。正是第一次的失败让我认识到了自己的不足，也激励我更加努力。

所以说，失败并不可怕，可怕的是在失败面前低头。只要我们勇于面对失败，善于从失败中学习，失败就会成为通往成功的阶梯。
