I see this little problem as a(n) (change/lesson/... )

Possible version 1:
I am a “glass half-full” person when problems come. One day, I got hurt while running and couldn't play with my friends. At first, I felt sad, but then I decided to draw pictures and write stories during my rest time.
I see this little problem as a chance to try new things. It showed me that even when one door closes, another opens. Now I enjoy both running and drawing!
Possible version 2:
I am a “glass half-full” person when problems come. One day, I went travelling and it started to rain. I didn't feel sad. I just put up my umbrella and enjoyed walking in the rain with my friends. We sang songs and took beautiful photos.
I see this little problem as a gift. The rain made the air fresh and the mountains look more beautiful. Now I think rainy days can be wonderful, too!

【分析】本题要求围绕“半满心态vs半空心态”的主题，选择海报中的一个场景（雨中旅行/运动受伤），结合自身经历写一篇约60词的短文，需表达“半满型”的乐观心态，衔接给定的开头与结尾。解题思路：1. 确定写作核心：选择“半满型”心态，契合征文主题；2. 选定场景：从两个场景中选一个，如“运动受伤”；3. 补充经历：先描述遇到的问题，再体现心态从消极到积极的转变；4. 结尾点明感悟，呼应乐观主题，同时注意时态（用一般过去时）、字数及避免真实信息的要求。

【答案】I am a “glass half-full” person when problems come. One day, I got hurt while running and couldn't play with my friends. At first, I felt sad, but then I decided to draw pictures and write stories during my rest time. I see this little problem as a chance to try new things.
