英語四級命題作文：論災(zāi)難

On Disasters
　　An old saying goes: Life is full of roses and thorns. As we all know, one's life is full of unexpected events, some of which are wonderful and some of which are disastrous. Those heavy blows, such as, floods, snowstorms, and earthquakes, threaten to weigh one down.
　　However, it's even worse if one can't drag himself out of the grief in that mental break-down, it is more serious than the disaster itself. Instead of indulging oneself in sadness, one should take positive attitude towards life and contribute to the reconstruction of his or her life and hometown.
　　As for me, if I am lucky enough to survive in a disaster, I will try my best to help those who are suffering by donating blood or money. If I am a victim, I will endeavor to recover from the sadness as soon as possible and be certain to be strong and supportive to the recovery work.          (154 words)
