【命题一】

某英语报社将举办“我最喜欢的英语格言”征文活动，假如你最喜欢的格言是发明家 Thomas Edison的名言： “Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration”， 请你用英语写一篇短文，阐述你对这句话的理解。注意：1. 词数100左右； 2. 开头已给出，不计入总词数。My favourite proverb is “Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration”.

【佳作赏析】

My favourite proverb is “Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration”. This is what the great inventor Thomas Edison said about success. Obviously, he wanted to tell us that success depends mainly on two factors: one is inspiration, which means creativity, and the other is great effort.Which is more important to one’s success， inspiration or perspiration? Most people probably think the latter is more important, but in my opinion, they are equally important. Take Steve Jobs, former CEO of Apple, for example, in his lifetime, he made a lot of highly creative products such as iPhone, iPad and iMac, all of which are fruits of both inspiration and perspiration.In a word, without either of the two factors, no great success can be achieved.

【佳作赏析】

What friends should we make?A life without a friend is a life without the Sun. Everyone, especially teenagers, desires true friendship, but what friends should we make?First of all, what we should take into account when choosing friends is common interests. If we have the same hobbies like playing basketball or painting, we can play and learn together, which in turn will promote our friendship. Secondly, we should make friends with those who can give us a hand when we’re in trouble. Last but not least, those we are to make friends with should have good qualities, such as being kind-hearted, generous and diligent.We are who our friends are. Therefore, we can never be too careful in choosing friends.

【佳作赏析】

On the morning of last Sunday, a family of three went to the countryside for a picnic. When they arrived at the foot of a mountain, they saw green grass and trees, so they decided to put up their tent there. The air was fresh and the wind was gentle. They had a great time playing on the grass. When they were tired, they made a fire and cooked a meal with the materials they brought, including vegetables, sausages and instant noodles. Before nightfall, they headed for home, leaving a lot of rubbish on the grass.In my opinion, it’s wrong of them to leave rubbish behind. It’s everyone’s duty to protect the environment. We should always keep the environment clean and tidy.
