Possible answer:
Although the virus has been disturbing our normal lives and learning places, we should be calm and optimistic.
No one can deny the importance of optimism. An optimistic attitude can help us to achieve our objectives and realize our dreams. By being optimistic, we can face our challenges and overcome setbacks with confidence. What's more, being optimistic can help us stay calm and figure out effective solutions, even in desperate situations. Take Beethoven as a case in point, how could he, a great German music composer, who became deaf in his forties, compose so many enduring and classic symphonies without optimism?
