第二部分 题目

Direction:

Laziness or lack of ambition is like dead weight on our chests. All it takes is one big push and we’re free, but that “big push” is not always easy to muster because the effort seems a lot more difficult than it actually is. The situation is similar to trying to get out of bed as soon as we awaken from a long sleep.

Write an essay with no less than 300 words, in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.
