Long READING
Success is something many people want, but it doesn’t happen by luck. People who work hard are more likely to succeed. They read, practice, and try again when they make mistakes. For example, a student who studies a little every day usually does better than a student who waits until the last minute.
In sports, a team that trains often has a better chance to win. In life, people who try their best and don’t give up usually find success. Working hard does not always give fast results, but over time it helps a lot. That’s why we say: He is more likely to succeed because he works hard.
