Analysis of the whole text structure
Introduction (Paras. 1-2): Use the example of Churchill to lead to the question: What’s the secret of success? Churchill managed to be a successful man although he was not a good student when he was young. (Para. 1) “Never give up” is the speech given by Churchill to young boys in his old school. (Para.2) Body (Paras. 3-7): Give illustrations and examples to bring forward the statement that only those with a strong will, those who “keep their eyes on the prize”, and those who expend the substantial effort to keep going, will finally succeed. Nothing can inhibit a strong spirit committed to success: Einstein and Edison are good examples to illustrate this. (Para.3) The example of Abraham Lincoln is added here to show that his strong will was the spur to push him forward and finally to make him successful. (Para. 4) Only those who “keep their eyes on the prize” will find their endeavors successful: Many artists, statesmen, writers and inventors have had the same experience. (Para.5) The example of Sandra Day O’Connor is given here to show that her success is due to her sheer persistence. (Para.6) 收集于网络，如有侵权请联系管理员删除

The secret of success is based upon a burning inward desire that fuels the determination to act, to keep preparing, to keep going. Without substantial effort, only saying they want something will not bring success to people. (Para. 7) Conclusion: Reinforce the statement above With hard work, determination, dedication and preparation, you can transcend any handicap, accomplish any feat, and achieve success. (Para.8) Detailed understanding of the text

Retell the story of each of the five people in the examples cited in the table.
Step 3 Discuss what traits these people have in common to be successful. Critical thinking
Think over the following three questions and share your ideas with your classmates. 1. How do you understand the remark “It’s not how many times you fall down that matters. It’s how many times you get back up that makes success!”? You may have tried and failed many times before you finally get success. But it does not matter. What matters is whether you can summon up all your courage again and again to face the hardships standing in the way of success.
2. Do you agree that “there are times when it’s simply better to give up”?
