答案：My favourite song
Music always brings me warmth and power when I feel down. My favourite song is *Dream It Possible*, sung by Zhang Liangying.
I first heard it when I failed my maths exam last term. Its soft tune and inspiring lyrics made me calm down soon, and I got full courage to face my difficulties later.
I think this song is really worth introducing. It tells us that as long as we keep trying and never give up our dreams, we can finally make them come true. It has encouraged lots of people to stick to their goals.
