预测范文
Success is something that many people strive for, but that not everyone among us attains. When we consider the various factors that play a role in determining whether a person is successful in life, ambition and action are two of the first to come to mind. Just as American writer Napoleon Hill put it, “If you cannot do great things, do small things in a great way. ”
To illustrate, a young person who aspires to be a great chef might decide to buy some cookbooks, spend weekends practicing and refining his culinary techniques, or take on a part-time job at a local restaurant. On the other hand, if he simply ends up spending all has spare time surfing the Internet or playing video games, neither of which would give him the skills or experience needed to succeed.
In conclusion, doing great things and doing small things are both essential in determining whether we flourish or fall behind. The former gives us the drive and direction to move forward, while the latter enables us to implement our vision and “make things happen”. In combination, they represent the winning formula that will put us firmly on the road to success.
参考译文
成功是许多人所追求的目标,但这个目标非每个人都能实现。在考虑到决定一个人是否成功的因素时,我们最先想到的两个因素世雄心与行动。正如美国作家拿破仑 希尔所说:“如果你不能做伟大的事情,那就以伟大的方式做小事。”
可以给出无数的例子,但这个就足够了。一个渴望成为伟大厨师的人,或许会决定买一些烹饪书籍,或是把整个周末的时间用于改造自己的烹调技巧,亦或是在当地的一家餐馆里从事一份兼职工作。相反,如果他只是将所有的闲暇时间用于上网或玩电子游戏,这些都不能为他带来成功所需的技巧或经验。
总之,做大事和做小事都是决定我们成功与否的重要因素。前者给与我们前进的动力和方向,后者使我们能够积极主动地实现愿望。而把两种因素结合起来,才是我们走上成功之路的秘诀。
道长点评
本题要求评论美国作家 Napoleon Hill 的一句名言:“如果你不能做伟大的事情,那就以伟大的方式做小事。”并要求举出一到两个例子支持你的观点。显而易见,本题考查做小事的重要性。本题第一段应该通过做大事和做小事的关系引出主题;第二段可以进行举例论证,列举自己身边的例子或社会热点例子来支持自己的观点,如雷锋、焦裕禄等等;第三段可以进行归纳结论或提出建议措施:大部分人都没有做大事的可能性,但细心做好每件小事就是成功。
