【正确答案】[参考范文]
There is an old saying which goes "Confidence is more important than gold". It means that, with confidence, we can overcome any difficulties and crises. Obviously, it is the experience of our forefathers, but it is still correct even in our modern society
(Or: with the rapid development of our human society, we have to encounter various natural disasters and crises. How to cope with them? Obviously, confidence is quite indispensable and even more important than gold.)
In order to make this point of view clearer, let's cite a ready case of the intense earthquake which happened in Wenchuan China last year. It is reported that there are about 100,000 people killed in this natural disaster. Many people alive became homeless at that moment. But it is confidence, along with the support and love from all over the world that enables them to stand up again and begin to reconstruct their hometowns. In addition, confidence has also performed great functions for many countries to recover from the financial tsunami/crisis which took place a few months ago in the world.
As is shown in our previous discussion, it seems that whatever difficulties we will face with, we had better keep this old saying in mind—confidence is more important than gold. It is also extremely difficult for us to imagine what our modem life would be like without confidence.
