Insist means to strongly persuade/encourage someone to do something.

Ex:“My daughter insisted she needed a wool coat for school.”

Insist是指強烈說服/鼓勵某人做某事。例: “我的女兒堅稱她需要一件羊毛外套上學。”

NO.2

NO.3

To persist/persistence is like continuing to try, even when things get hard.

Ex: "It takes a lot of persistence to complete a task that is difficult"
