Think about how to approach the subject.    3     Are you focusing on the specific scene or are you going to write more generally about a certain theme? Are you considering how you can choose certain words to describe the subject? It can be helpful to decide ahead of time what you want to say about the topic.

    4     Not being too worried about rhyming, you can feel free to explore your topic. Write down as many details as you can think of. For example, if you are describing your last birthday party, you may start by describing who was at the party, the gifts you received, and how you felt during the party.

Create a draft and improve it. Use the list of keywords to help you draft a poem.    5     These will help you to create a stronger free verse poem.

    1     But we eventually overcome the adversities(逆境) in our path and emerge out of the other end. Here are some of the most practical ways of dealing with adversities.

    2     We have all gone through seemingly unbeatable challenges and emerged out of the other end. And yet, each time a new adversity surfaces, we completely forget about the above truth. It is this that makes the going tougher than it needs to be. Therefore, when you are faced with a tough situation, simply remind yourself of your past victories.     3    

When a challenge suddenly shows up, you might feel like the ground has disappeared from underneath your feet. Obviously, in times like these, you are bound to feel confused, terrified and a whole host of other emotions. This is completely normal.     4     In times like these, you should give yourself time to process the events. Once you have gathered yourself, you can then try and find solutions. If you need to take a break from your regular routine, that’s completely okay!

I can’t stress enough how important discipline is in life in general. And when it comes to dealing with challenges, it becomes even more relevant. Discipline will keep you going forward even when you want to quit.     5     If you are wondering what that looks like, well, study the lives of soldiers. Learn about how they keep going in the midst of a war. That should open up your eyes to the significance of this must-have quality.

【推荐3】The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) was invented by Katharine Cook Briggs and her daughter Isabel Briggs Myers. It is a self-report questionnaire indicating differing psychological preferences in how people perceive the world and make decisions. The MBTI personality inventory (量表) sorts people into 16 type categories, each of which is represented by four-letter codes such as INFP and ESTJ. Every year, about 1.5 million people have enjoyed discovering their personality type by completing the MBTI. Many companies, as well as hundreds of universities, use it in hiring and training.

Nevertheless, the MBTI has received a noticeable criticism from the academic community. Some research suggests the MBTI is unreliable because the same person can get different results when retaking the test. Other studies have questioned the validity of the MBTI, which is the ability of the test to accurately link the “types” to outcomes in the real world -for example, how well people classified as a certain type will perform in a given job.

Merve Emre, a professor a Oxford University, points out that it would be more scientifically advisable to score the MBTI scales continuously to show people the degree to which they resemble the types. Even when the MBTI’s results don’t quite match your intuition (直觉) about yourself or are just wrong, they can still provide self-insight and insight into differences and similarities between people.

Scoring and interpreting the MBTI the way other personality inventories are scored and interpreted might be less fun than finding. All of the folklore (民间看法) about INFPs, ESTJs, etc. would have to be dismissed. But, in the end the MBTI is sufficiently reliable and valid enough to be useful in a number of real-world contexts.
