Then make a presentation to the class. Your presentation should include:   1. Stating your opinion;2. Giving reasons to support your opinion;3. Summarizing your idea. Your answer：When we talk about what can contribute to a person's success, many words, such as perseverance, creativity, luck, and so on, will appear in our minds. Some people argue that luck has nothing to do with a person's success and attribute a person's success to many other factors. In my opinion, however, luck sometimes plays an indispensable role in one's success.Luck is not something that we can control, but being lucky really helps in one's success. Personally I think it is better to be lucky than to be rich. If you are poor but lucky, you might be rich someday. If you are rich but unlucky, you are in trouble.Though persistence and some other factors contribute to one's success, luck will help one to be successful more quickly. For example, the famous inventor Edison, who invented the electric bulb in the 19th century. Throughout his invention process, we can see what an important role persistence and other factors played, but at the same time we must admit luck also played a part. If it had not occurred to Edison to use metal in his experiment, the light might not have appeared until the next century.In conclusion, though success mainly depends on hard work, perseverance, creativity, and some other things, luck will help a person to succeed to some extent.
