17、nd and how hard peoples goals are, they should always strive to meet them.

18、罗马不是一天建成的可能要花几个月或好几年的时间我们的付出才能有所回报,因此我们需要耐心和坚持。第二,没有进展不是我们走错了道路,成功之路就像爬山,有些人可能中途放弃,声称这是一件不可能 完成的任务,事实则是有时候再走几步就会峰回路转,达到顶峰。本段巧妙运用了 Rome wasnt built in a day这一经典谚语,为文章增色不少。 第三段总结全文。不管目标多么宏伟,多么困难,也要坚持不懈实现目标,只有通过不懈的努力才能成功。 【知识模块】 作文 4 【正确答案】 Abilities and Good Looks We are often told not to judge people
19、 by their appearance. Just as the saying goes, “Fine feathers do not make fine birds. “ For a person, abilities are far more important than appearance.

22、阐述人的能力比容貌更重要,不可以貌取人。 第二段对引言进行评论,从三个方面论证了能力才能决定人的价值,才是成功的决定性因素。第一,好的相貌固然能给人留下好印象,但真正起决定作用的还是人的能力。第二,容貌与生俱来,能力则要经过自我完善和努力工作才能得来,它才能真正 显出个人本色。第三随着时光流逝,能力日有所长,容貌只能日渐衰退。第一句 Firstly, although good looks can help make animpression, it is always abilities that create values that really matter中, although引导让步状语从句,后面是强调句型,突出能力的重要性。 第三段总结全文。在竞争中,漂亮的人有时可能有优势,有更多的机会,但从长远来说,能力决定一切。 【知识模块】 作文
