初中英语优秀作文精选：父亲给我的礼物

 　　The Present My Father Gave Me

　　When I was young, my father, who always taught me how to be a true man, told me that it is essential to be tolerant¹ in your life whatever happens.

To be tolerant, I need to keep calm when great trouble lies in front of me, however difficult it is to overcome it; To be tolerant, I need to resist the temptation³ of all kinds of the outside world, even if it is so attractive; To be torlerant, I need to pull myself(控制自己情绪) in times of extreme sorrows and joys, no matter how they affect me.
