有关坚强意志的英语作文

【篇一：大学英语四级作文范文2011.12范文】

本次四级作文探讨的是最近的一个热点话题一——意志力与成功的关系。随着社会竞争越来越激烈，青年面对的困难也越来越多。“放弃还是坚持”成为我们不得不面对的一个选择。按照四级作文的要求，考生在第一段时应该总述现象并引出话题。有点考生不知道应该如何展开描述“什么是成功”，其实描述就可以举例，举身边的例子。“成功”不是抽象的，是具体的，你可以说“想成为科学家”“百万富翁”，想成为“超级巨星”。甚至于《失恋33天》的王小仙能忘记劈腿的前男友，这也是一种成功。所以，描述一定要具体，否则就写不下去了。

第二段考生可以从“坚强的意志的重要性”这个角度展开。例如，成功的路上肯定会遇到困难，而克服困难需要坚强的意志。《鸿门宴》看了吗？刘邦从几千人马干掉项羽几十万人马，最后取得成功，这里面就需要坚强的意志。看着自己心爱的女人天天和别人在一起，没有坚强的意志，刘邦童鞋能扛住吗？不可能。这可不是一般人能做到的，不信你试试看，hold不住的。

第三点考生可以下个结论。再次强调坚强意志对于成功的必要性。和文章开头“首尾呼应”。

整篇作文只要考生审好题，列出相应点，相信作文分数会不错。

【标准版】nothing succeeds without a strong will

nothing runs smoothly in our life. to achieve things successfully, a strong will is essential. life is like a marathon. many people can’t get to the terminal. this is not because they are lack of vitality but because their will of success is not strong enough.

to take quitting smoking as an example, some regard it as a piece of cake. they make up their minds to quit it in the morning, but in the evening they feel that the smell of cigarettes is tempting. their throats are sore, their mouths are thirsty, and their hands are shaking. after the painful mental struggle, they tell themselves that “one cigarette is enough. just take one, and the next day i will quit it.” by doing this, they surrender to their weak will. in the end, they have quitted smoking “a hundred times”, but in no time they succeed.

just like quitting smoking, nothing succeeds without a strong will. to be successful in one’s life, a strong will means that you know where you go and you will persist on the road you choose. undoubtedly success belongs to those who overcome their weak will and who hang in there until the last minute.

【文章点评】

本文属于话题类作文，只看题目“nothing succeeds without a strong will”考生会觉得比较抽象，难以下手。细看题目说明中给出了提示，要求考生结合戒烟屡次不成功的幽默引语对该话题进行分析阐述。

总体来说，这是一篇“中等偏上”的考生作文。本文先点题指出“坚强意志”的重要性；

第二段从反面举例阐述——具体描写了意志不坚定者的心理活动，阐述为什么会戒烟失败；最后从戒烟延伸到生活中的其他事情，并复述坚强意志的内涵，点题收尾。

总体上来看，文章思路清晰，采用了生动的比喻和形象的心理描写，语言流畅，用语地道。但一些重复表达（如第二段和第三段中的weak will）显得单调，可用shaky ones, weak-willed persons，the strong-willed等灵活表达。在备考中，多积累不同表达，相信会写出更生动的文章。

在论述上，叙述略显罗嗦。第二段心理描写过多，虽然流畅生动，但却使这篇考场作文超过了规定字数，反而成为失分点，这一点要引以为戒。

【高分版】nothing succeeds without a strong will

as we have read from above, quitting-smoking seems easy, but in reality it is rarely achieved. there is something provoking and interesting in this paradox, just because sword does not wear the stone as dripping water does.

the ability to do something over and over again in a short time may imply its easiness, but in a long run, a lifetime maybe, things turn out to be quite the opposite. also, as is often the case, one may have obtained all the tools and opportunities to achieve something, but in the end they still fail due to the will shortage.

so how could we avoid the dilemma? here is the prime condition of success: will and perseverance. concentrate you energy, thought and mind exclusively on the

business in which you are engaged, hang on in there and be patient, for, 。as emerson put it, no one can cheat you out of your ultimate success but yourself.

【文章点评】

本次四级作文探讨的话题是成功与毅力之间的关系，话题不算新，一般考生对此都比较熟悉，所以对考生来说难度不大。写好这篇作文，需要抓住两点，一是紧跟题目要求，即对上述幽默性的话语做出评论，二是在评论的基础上要亮出自己的观点。

范文开头第一句即一针见血地对上述幽默性话语做出总结性概括，即戒烟看似简单实则很难，随后指出该话语本质上是一个悖论，并且以一个“水滴石穿”的俗语来指出困难所在，这句也是本文的一个亮点，体现作者在西方俗语方面丰富的知识储备。

第二段作者则进一步深入分析该话语，指出做某事在短期看来很容易，长期来看，恰恰相反，人们做事的结果也因此总是失败，原因则在最后一句点出：缺乏毅力。

第三段作者进一步给出了自己的观点，告诉大家如何避免陷入这种两难境地：首要条件即需要坚强的意志和长期的坚持。最后再以艾默生的一句名言“没人能够骗你远离你最终的成功，除非你自己承认失败”来总结全文，切中主题，铿锵有力。

it is universally acknowledged that people cannot succeed or achieve their targets without a strong will and persistence. one of the most typical examples is that in present-day society, a growing number of people give up or fail to quit smoking just because of their poor willpower during the process.

a variety of factors may account for this phenomenon as follows. for one thing, no one can deny the fact that persistence is the key point in accomplishing one’s task. it is of importance for people to stick to their original aim. a great number of dragsters would stop smoking a couple of days after they have made their determination, but only a few of them may succeed in the end. for another, the people who cannot quit smoking may easily be affected by his circumstance and surroundings. in that case, people tend to fail to resist various temptations around them.

from what has been discussed above, we may safely come to the conclusion that only by concentrating on the object and strong self-discipline can we obtain our goals successfully in the future.

3. 为了改变这种状况，我认为….

满分范文：

due attention should be given to spelling

nowadays, students attach less importance to the spelling of words in the process of english study. this phenomenon greatly influences students’ writing and brings on worries among teachers.

there are possibly three reasons contributing to this phenomenon. first, exam-oriented education makes the students pay less attention to spelling. second, some teachers should also be responsible for it because they don’t emphasize the importance of spelling during teaching. last but not least, some students are too lazy to recite words.

since spelling is one of the most important factors in english study, due attention should be given to it. as for me, i think, first, exams should be modified to add some factors into it, which would help students pay more attention to spelling. then, schools should also set effective mechanisms to help teachers as well as the students to realize the importance. finally, for students themselves, they can, through other ways, make them be interested in word spelling. only by these can we surly realize the importance of spelling and make improvement.

如今,学生少附加重要词语的拼写英语学习的过程中。这种现象会极大地影响学生的写作教师并带来担忧。

有可能是三个原因造成这一现象。首先,应试教育使学生很少注意拼写。第二,一些老师也应该负责,因为他们不重视拼写教学过程。最后但并非最不重要,一些学生太懒惰,背单词。

因为拼写是最重要的因素之一在英语学习中,由于需注意它。至于我,我认为,首先,考试应修改添加一些因素,这将帮助学生更加注意拼写。然后,学校也应该设置有效的机制来帮助教师以及学生的意识。最后,对于学生自己,他们可以通过其他的方式,让他们感兴趣的单词拼写。只有这样我们才能粗暴的重要性认识拼写和改善。

on it.

as far as i’m concerned, the all-covering parenting method may give rise to severe consequences, and a spoiled child won’t be competitive in this world full of the fierce competitions. thus, the whole society should attach great importance to this problem and make our contribution to avoid this.

近年来,洪水的父母愿意安排和决定为他们的孩子。无可否认的是,大部分孩子把父母的担忧是理所当然的。据统计,超过80%的父母仍然陪他们的孩子的大学、甚至考试。在本文中,我将讨论所应采取的措施来帮助学生独立和提供我看待这个问题的。

首先,父母应该放弃刻板的角色在中国父母教育子女和渲染免费的奇妙世界。此外,我们,孩子们自己,每天应该管理我们自己的东西。此外,社会应该建立更多的课程和营地的孩子培养他们的能力是独立的。

online shopping is welcomed by most people due to various reasons. from the perspective of consumer, it can save some time for people who don’t have much spare time. just click the mouse, they can get whatever they want while staying at home. for the retailers, it can cut some costs for those who don’t have much circulating funds. they don’t have to rent a house and spend money on employees compared with the traditional trade mode. however, there are still some defects in online shopping. first, face to face deal makes online shopping less reliable and trustworthy. second, people will lose the fun of bargain.

it is undeniable that shopping on the internet has become an irresistible trend in modern society. it’s of great urgency that we need to regulate the relative laws in accordance with the rapid growth of online shopping. only in this way can we enjoy the pleasure and convenience of online shopping without the concern of being treated. 如今,我们可以找出一个没有经历过的人在网上购物吗?绝对不是。网上购物开始流行在大多数城市由于网络技术的迅猛发展。

网上购物受到大多数人的欢迎,但由于多方面的原因。从消费者的角度来看,它可

以节省一些时间给那些没有太多的空闲时间。只需点击鼠标,他们能得到他们想要的东西而呆在家里。对于零售商来说,它可以削减一些成本对那些没有多少流动资金。他们不需要租用一套房子的钱花在员工相比传统贸易模式。然而,仍然有一些缺陷在网上购物。首先,面对面的交易使网上购物不可靠和可信的。第二,人们将失去乐趣的讨价还价。
