And you are welcomed by all our team members owing to your great amount of knowledge about Chinese traditions and culture. Please don't tell me you are too old to do this job.

In families, volunteer work will help to emphasize the importance of morality, meet emotional needs and even become a vivid educational lesson.

第七届复赛作文范文The Advantages and Disadvantages of Computers辽宁市鞍山市第一中学

Nowadays, the idea of progress lorns so large in the modern world, and the progress of a particular kind is actually taking place around us. In this circumstances, computers which have a great help come out with the wisdom and hard-working of human beings. It does have given human a tremendous help, it, however, has brought to us its harm at the same time.

7

The computers can make a great help for us in this high speed society. In the light of this statement, it is computers that can store documents for us which is essential for us, it is computers that can shorten the time in seeking useful information instead of looking for knowledge from a large sums of books and it is computers that can make it possible to communicate with different people who are far away from you. In a word, we can't live normally without computers in such a high-tech society.

On the contrary, having helped us a lot, computers are harmful to people at the same time, especially the adolescents. First of all, sitting in front of the computer may do harm to our eyes. On the other hand, computers not only bring us useful information but also entertainments. Being weak in controlling themselves, those poor adolescents are easier to get crazy about the fantasy world. Seeing a vivid picture which is about a son who gets stuck in computers and phones to his parents downstairs to bring dinner for him. I realized deeply that the computers really have their disadvantages.

According to the statements above, it can not be superficial to simply say that computers are good or bad for us as every coin has both sides. Personally, I still consider that a computer can bring us convenience and high speed which is extolled to all the people even though it is a two-edged weapon. We can learn well punctuated by those purchasable wells of wisdom - computers. 专家建议：

The Advantages and Disadvantages of Computers.安徽省黄山市屯溪一中高一

Currently, with the development of Internet, more and more people focus on the issue that whether it is right to have got a computer. As we all know, a coin has two sides, and a computer has both advantages and disadvantages. Sometimes, we insist that it is rather useful to get a computer, but on the other hand, we find it much more harmful. In a word, however, nothing gains more discussion than computers.

For one thing, we regard computer convenient, in that we can use a computer to draw pictures,

8

write essays and sum up countless numbers. We work on computers and communicate by Internet. Because of e-mails, on-line shopping and a number of information on Internet, we admire the useful computer. What's more, computer and Internet can work in a fantastic speed, which makes our work swiftly. No one can deny that, human can live and work well without computers.

For another, however, computers bring harm to us as well. First, computer games are at large nowadays. Teenagers can be attracted by them easily. They play computers night and day, forgetting anything including study. They spend their valuable time hurting their active bodies. Glasses on their faces show their weakness of sight. Meanwhile internet provides too many things and people cannot tell bad ones from right ones promptly sometimes. As a result, their spirit can be damaged. Nothing can be worse than this. The last but not the least, internet offers many ways to crime. Meanwhile, it is hard to find out. For instance, some bad sayings spread well on internet but the police can do nothing to stop them.

As for as I am concerned, I consider that the computer is rather useful. Whether you may be damaged by computers and internet depends on yourself to the core. You would not be hurt if your, eyes were bright enough to tell right from wrong. As for me, I use computers to write articles watch movies and communicate with each other and I do not fancy any computer games. Besides, the Government should focus their attention to protecting teenagers from computer games. At last, I would say that despite the disadvantages still exist now, computers play a very significant part of role in modern life. 专家建议：建议该生多读英语议论文章，揣摩正规议论文的段落内部的逻辑关系是怎样做到严谨合理的，培养对一件事发表议论的能力。另外，平时应该多练习写作议论文，并在写作过程中要求自己思路清晰，明确自己究竟要写什么，为什么要写这句话，句与句之间到底有没有关系，有什么关系。希望对作者有所帮助。

专家点评：本文结构设置清晰明了，词汇及句型句式的运用较为高级和丰富，语法应用也比较准确和多样。不足之处在于本文段落内部逻辑的混乱，句与句之间的逻辑关系更是令读者一头雾水。值得一提的是，本文还多处出现了议论文章的大忌讳，那就是主观猜测出的毫无依据支持的信息以及缺乏客观性的极端信息，希望作者日后避免此类错误。 第五届复赛作文范文Failure and Success

An ancient Chinese adage says, “Failure is the mother of success”. It tells us that failure teaches people how to succeed. Those philosiphers (philosophers) are always right. No one is a winner for life-long, and thus everybody, even the most successful ones, has failed in sake of (for the sake of)

9

various reasons.

The story of Mr. Abraham Lincoln, the previous president of America, offers us a proper example. Mr. Lincoln started his political journey in his early 20 (20s), but the fate tricked him. Among his first ten attempts of running for elections for political positions like (去

掉) Senator and (or) the Head of the State, Mr. Lincoln only won once, and then numerous failures stepped up after that. But he never stopped. Finally, in his 50 (50s), Mr. Lincoln became the president of America. His failures led to his success. All the valuable experiences, including the mistakes, showed him how to succeed. Then, it is obvious that failure can help not only Mr. Lincoln but also everyone to gain experiences and to avoid mistakes. Thus success comes.

Despite the reason described in the above paragraph, another subtle one also serves to the topic. Failure forces people to explore new means to success. KFC is a case in point. As everybody knows, KFC?s origins were in America

, but it was not as successful as McDonald. But when KFC came to China, it became popular in one night (overnight). People, especially kids, loved it. KFC has found its new way in China. Situations must be the same to everyone if they explore new things in their failures.

Taking into account all the relevant factors that affect and contribute to the topic, we may safely conclude that, failure, indeed, leads people all the way to success. 第六届复赛作文范文Informal Higher Education Serves Better Although most students are still fighting for the diploma in universities after graduation from high school, it has been a clear trend that more and more students choose to start their working career earlier and receive informal higher education, which in my opinion, serves better to build more competition (competitive) and suitable personal abilities.

Informal higher education offers better opportunities to adapt to social life for students, and help them understand better the reality of their social community and responsibilities they are to take. Compared with those who spend entirely their time in the (on) campus, students who take evening classes could contact with more people, develop their communication skills and social behaviors during working hours. They know better how cruel and realistic the society is and that it is your power and capabilities that only speak. They understand and adapt better to the pressure of life?s difficulties which in universities could hardly be realized.

Secondly, after experiencing real working life, these (those) who attend correspondence courses would know better what kind of knowledge and abilities they must master, which definitely help them in

10

future advancement and career choices. Suppose you?re a graduate from high school and become an assist of a car repairing workshop. Then you?ll have to know how the engine and different parts of the car works and how to deal

with various crisises (emergent problems). Therefore, night schools’ education (evening classes) would enable y

ou (插

入 to) acquire more specialized knowledge which are fit to you. However, in universities, you have to learn a great

many courses, some of which are comparatively useless and can even make you bewilded of future (bewildered to

the future). Furthermore, as they have more time to manage for themselves, students drop higher education in universities coul

d earn some money and gain earlier start in career. These will ease their families? burdens and satisfy their desire f

or basic money needs. As a matter of fact, nowadays, more than a few American teens abandon university? s educa

tion and try to become a worker like air-conditional repairer (air-conditioner repairman) who can earn as much as

$ 30, 000 for the first year. Thus, their decisions benefit themselves and their families.

Conclude (To conclude) from all the facts talked above, we can safely arrive at the summary that informal higher education is more efficient and serves better. It make (makes) you ahead of others in career development with more competitive skills, fit knowledge, precious experiences of social life and more leisure to earn some essential financial supports. As we?ll one day indulge ourselves in the real soci (walk into the realistic society,) informal higher education serves better for our present and future developing. (development)

考研英语写作人生哲理类经典名人事迹13例 主题词：勤奋diligence

Kobe Bryant can be a good case of how diligence works in our life. When asked by one of his friends that what is the secret of his success, he replied with humor and implication that，"Do you know how Los Angelos looks like at 4 o'clock AM ? I know."Obviously, how could he, one of the greatest basketball players throughout the history of mankind who was once deemed not appropriate for playing basketball, have achieved unprecedented success in NBA without diligence ?

科比.布莱恩特是一个证明勤奋是如何起作用的很好的例子。当被他的一个好朋友问到他成功的秘诀的时候，他幽默而又意义深远地回答到："你知道洛杉矶凌晨四点的样子吗？我知道。"很明显，这位曾经被认为不太适合打篮球的、人类历史上最伟大的篮球运动员之一的科比，如果没有勤奋的话，怎么可能在美职篮获得史无前例的成功呢？

主题词：创新 innovation

For another, many of today's business success or miracle can be ascribed to innovation. Take Steve Jobs as a case in point, as a member of the mighty ocean of electronic products, if he had not invented innovative devices such as Ipad and Iphone，he could not have achieved great success in the global market and even changed the way people communicate, recreate and live.

另外，很多当今世界的商业成功和奇迹都可以归因于创业，以史蒂夫.乔布斯为例，作为浩瀚的电子产品海洋中的一员，如果他没有发明诸如Ipad，Iphone这样创新的设备，他是不太可能在全球市场取得成功甚至改变人们的通讯、娱乐和生活方式的。

主题词：个性 individuality

Just imagine why Apple's products could be widely and deeply supported by consumers among other similar products, it is not their appearance and price, but their distinctive function，that couts.

试想一下，为何苹果公司的产品能够在诸多的同类产品中深受消费者的喜欢，不在于他们的外形和价格，而在于他们与众不同的功能

主题词：梦想 dreams

A report issued on the Psychology stated,"the progress of human beings stems not so much from the innovation of science and technology introduced by geniuses as from the dreams of making a difference to the world in common people's mind."

《心理学》发布的一份报告也曾说："人类的进步与其说是来自于那些天才伟人带来的科学技术的创新还不如说是那些平凡人心中的改变世界的梦想"。

主题词：坚持

Thomas Edison，one of the greates inventors and entrepreneurs throughout the history of mankind, could be best case of how persistence works in the course of pursuing success. Just imagine, having experienced thousands of times of unsuccessful attempts, how could he have succeeded in inventing the first electric lamp and changed the world without persistence?

人类历史上最伟大的发明家、企业家之一的爱迪生就是坚持如何在追求成功的过程中起作用的最好的例子。试想一下，如果没有坚持，他如何能够在经历了数以千计的失败的尝试后依旧不放弃，直至最后发明出第一盏点灯并改变全世界呢？

主题词：耐心

To further illustrate the importance of being patient, I would like to take Thomas Edison as a case in point: as one of the greatest inventors throughout the history of mankind who experienced thousands of times of unsuccessful attempts in the course of scientific inquiry, how could he have invented the first electric lamp and changed the world without patience and persistence ? 为了进一步证明能够耐心的重要性，我想以托马斯.爱迪生作为例子：作为人类历史上最为的、在科学探索中经历数以千次的失败尝试的发明家，如果没有耐心和坚持，他如何能够发明出第一盏电灯并且改变世界？

主题词：谦虚 modesty

Newton，one of the most influential scientists throughout the history of mankind, could be best case of how modesty works in the course of making further progress and achieving greater success. Just imagine, having discovered the Law of Momentum Conservation, how could he have succeeded in establishing the Three Laws of Motion if he had simply taken pride in his past achievement ? 作为人类历史上最具有影响力的科学家之一的牛顿，是谦虚如何在获得持续进步和取得更大成就上发挥作用的最好的例子。试想一下，发现了动能守恒定律之后，如果他仅仅为过去的成就而骄傲，怎么可能成功的发现力学三定律呢？

主题词：计划 making plans

Cases of how making plans works in our life and work abound. Take CEO, the head and decision-maker of a certain corporation, as a case in point: without a detailed plan for routine work, how could he or she have dealt with so many sorts of complicated things such as management, marketing and accounting efficiently ?

制定计划在我们的生活与工作中是如何起作用的例子比比皆是。以某家公司的领导及决策者-首席执行

官-为例：如果没有日常工作的详细计划，他如何能够高效率地处理那么多复杂的诸如管理、市场营销及财务的事情？

主题词：逆境 adversity

Besides, surveys conducted by some biographers have also demonstrated that almost all of the great men and celebrities have built their mansion of success on the bedrock of adversities. Take Georgia Washiton, one of the greatest founding fathers of the United States of America, as a case in point：to break away from the British Empire and became an independent country，he led the American War of Independence. However，problems and challenges such as inexperience of war, adverse weather condition, shortage of ammunition and smallbox arose. Confronted with such an adversity, he became more mature and composed, and then won the Revolutionary War finally through his courage and wisdom resulted from supassing adversity.

而且，由一些传记作者展开的调查也已经发现，几乎所有的伟大的人物和名人都将自己成功的大厦建立在逆境的基石上。以美国最伟大的开国之父之一乔治亚.华盛顿为例，为了脱离英国的殖民统治，建立一个独立的国家，他领导了美国独立战争。但却遇到了诸如战争经验不足、气候条件恶劣、弹药不足及天花肆虐等各种问题和挑战。面对这样的逆境，华盛顿变得更加成熟镇定，并最终用自己战胜逆境的勇气和智慧，赢得了这场战争的最后胜利。

主题词：诚实 honesty

Honesty can be a more noble quaity than intelligence,ablities and anything you can learn from books. George Washionton，one of the most influential founding fathers of US, was not only famous for his wisdom, courage and political talent，but also his honesty. When he was a little boy, out of curiosity he chopped down the cherry tree planted by his father. Confronted with his father's query，he did not lie to him but admitted his fault frankly. Then, his father exclaimed with gratification，"a honest boy is more valuable than one thousand trees!"

诚实甚至是比智慧、能力和任何你能从书上学到的知识更为高尚的品质。美国开国之父乔治亚华盛顿，不仅以他的智慧、勇敢和政治才能闻名，更以诚实为人闻名。在小的时候，他曾经砍掉了父亲栽种的一株樱桃树，面对父亲的询问，他没有撒谎，而是诚实地承认了自己的行为。他的父亲感叹："一个诚实的孩子胜过一千株樱桃树"！

主题词：合作 cooperation

Take the financial crisis as a case in point, after it swept the whole world in 2008, how could the world economy have revitalized at such a high speed without cooperation among countries all around the world?

以金融危机为例，在20xx年金融危机之后，如果没有全世界各国的通力合作，世界经济怎么可能会以如此快得速度复苏呢？

主题词：团结 unity

The history of Chinese Anti-japanese War led by Chinese Communist Party can the a good case to illustrate how unity works in the course of achieving success. Imagine how she could have achieved the victory of this drawn-out war if she had failed to unite Chinese people of all ethnic groups. 由中国共 产 党领导的抗日战争的历史，就是说明团结在取得成功的过程中是如何起作用的最好的例子。试想一下，如果她没有能够团结中国各族人民，怎么可能取得这场旷日持久的战争的胜利？

主题词：自信 confidence

Jeremy Lin, one of the most famous Chinese American basketball players, can be a good case of how confidence works in the course of pursuing success. He was once a common and little-known player at Harvard University. When fell on his evil days and became homeless, he could only lived in his friends' home. Without confidence and diligence, how could he have distinguished himself from other excellent players and achieved unprecedented success in NBA ?

作为最著名的华裔篮球运动员之一的林书豪就是证明自信在追求成功的过程中是如何起作用的最好的例子。他曾经只是哈佛大学校队的一名普通运动员，落魄的时候，无家可归，甚至只能住在朋友的家里。如果没有强大的自信心和自身的努力，他怎么可能在高手如林的美职篮赛场上脱颖而出并且最终取得史无前例的成功呢？

1 ”生命在他里头，这生命就是人的光。光照在黑暗里，黑暗却不接受光。"（《新约·约翰福音》第1章 What has come into being in him was life, and the life was the light of all people. The light shines in the darkness,

and the darkness did not overcome it. "John 1-4,5"

这是是基督教神学思想的核心。这里的"光"指的是耶稣基督，"生命"指的是永生--战胜死亡，获得真理。

2、"你们要进窄门，因为引到灭亡，那门是宽的，路是大的，进去的人也多；引到永生，那门是窄的，路

是小的，找着的人也少。"（《新约·马太福音》第7 章）

Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the road is easy that leads to destruction, and there are ma

ny who take it. For the gate is narrow and the road is hard that leads to life, and there are few who find it. "Matthe

w 7-13,14"

这是耶稣"登山宝训"中最短的一段，但却是整个新教精神的核心。对于清教徒而言，人生就意味着无尽艰险，就意味着走窄门。 3、" 爱是恒久忍耐，又有恩慈；爱是不嫉妒，爱是不自夸，不张狂，不作害羞的事，不求自己的益处，不

轻易发怒，不计算人的恶，不喜欢不义，只喜欢真理；凡事包容，凡事相信，凡事盼望，凡事忍耐；爱是

永不止息。"（《新约·哥林多前书》第1 3章）

Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it

is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, hopes all

things, endures all things. Love never ends. 基督教是"爱的宗教"，这就是使徒保罗对爱的诠释。从古到今不

知有多少人因这段话而皈依基督教，可见"爱是无可比的"。

4、"死啊，你得胜的权势在哪里？死啊，你的毒钩在哪里？死的毒钩就是罪，罪的权势就是律法。感谢上

帝，使我们借着我们的主耶稣基督得胜。"（《新约·哥林多前书》第15

章） Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting? The sting of death is sin, and. The power o

f sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

使徒保罗用优美的语言阐明了基督教的脉络：原罪与堕落，牺牲与救赎，胜利与永生。总体说来就是"用爱战胜死亡"。

5、"草必枯干，花必凋残，因为耶和华的气吹在其上；百姓诚然是草。草必枯干，花必凋残；惟有我们上帝的话，必永远立定！"（《旧约·以赛亚书》第40 章）

The grass withers, the flower fades, when the breath of the LORD blows upon it; surely the people are grass. The grass withers, the flower fades; but the word of our God will stand forever. 旧约的最大特点是"信念"。这句话就是无比坚定的信念，既是相信上帝，又是相信作为上帝选民的自己。以色列人的辉煌，大半缘自信念。

6、"我知道我的救赎主活着，末了必站在地上。我这皮肉灭绝之后，我必在肉体之外得见上帝。"（《旧约·约伯记》第19章）

For I know that my Redeemer lives, and that at the last he will stand up on the earth; and after my skin has been thus destroyed, then in my flesh I shall see God. 这是约伯的信念。无论承受多么巨大的打击、多么绝望的境遇，都不可放弃希望、放弃信仰。亨德尔为此句作的咏叹调也极为感人。

7、 "不可封了这书上的预言，因为日期近了。不义的，叫他仍旧不义；污秽的，叫他仍旧污秽；为义的，叫他仍旧为义；圣洁的，叫他仍旧圣洁。"（《新约·启示录》第22

章） Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is near. Let the evildoer still do evil, and the filthy still be filthy, and the righteous still do right, and the holy still be holy.

我最开始就是看了《启示录》才倾向于基督教的。《启示录》中有很多让人不能不动容的话，这句只是其中代表而已。

8、"谁能使我们与基督的爱隔绝呢？难道是患难吗？是困苦吗？是逼迫吗？是饥饿吗？是赤身露体吗？是危险吗？是刀剑吗？??然而，靠着爱我们的主，在这一切的事上已经得胜有余了。"（《新约·罗马书》

第8章）

Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will hardship, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

圣保罗真是无与伦比的传道者，他的讲道是如此气势磅礴且发人深省。这段话继承了旧约的信心，增加了新约的爱，完美地体现了基督教精神。

9、"我又专心察明智慧、狂妄和愚昧，乃知这也是捕风。因为多有智慧，就多有愁烦；加增知识的，就加增忧伤。"（《旧约·传道书》第1章）

And I applied my mind to know wisdom and to know madness and folly. I perceived that this also is but a chasing after wind. For in much wisdom is much vexation, and those who increase knowledge increase sorrow.

《传道书》是旧约中我最喜欢的篇章之一，传道者的话虽低沉消极，却又蕴涵着希望。能够用来战胜愁烦和忧伤的，只有一件事："信仰"。

10、"哈利路亚！因为主我们的上帝，全能者作王了。??世上的国成了我主和主基督的国；他要作王，直到永永远远。??万王之王，万主之主。" （《启示录》第11、19章）

Hallelujah! For the Lord our God the Almighty reigns. The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our

Lord and of his Messiah, and he will reign forever and ever.http://xiaonei.com/getuser.do?id=239112260 这也是亨德尔歌剧《弥赛亚》中大合唱《哈利路亚》的歌词，它是至今唯一能让我多次热泪盈眶的歌曲。从这短短的几句话中我们可以看到无穷的胜利喜悦。欢呼吧！因为胜利属于我们 。
