Never Put off until Tomorrow What You Can Do TodayWe have been told never to put off until tomorrow what you can do today since childhood. However, there are still many people who like putting off the things that they should do today until tomorrow. They have no plans for their work and their time. As a result, they will not accomplish their goals in the end.For example, one Sunday I felt so tired after having a football match that I did not finish my homework even at night. I thought I could get up earlier to go to school the next morning so that I could finish my homework before class. But the next morning, I was not able to get to school in time because of the traffic jam. I was punished by the teacher. It taught me a lesson. From then on I made a determination that I would never put off anything important until the next day.Please remember: Work today, for you don’t know how much you may be hindered tomorrow. Seize the present day, cherish every minute you have now and trust the tomorrow as little as possible. 【写作内容】1. 以约30个词概括上文的主要内容。

As a kid, I was a little fat. In college, I was less active, and I started blowing up. It got out of control when I went to law school. At the age of 30, I weighed 414 pounds. I was always tired. I have a family history of heart disease, and I was scared. I also wanted to look better. So a few weeks after my birthday, in the spring of 2006, I started to lose weight.Walking was all I could do at first. I started by walking to a subway stop a few blocks away instead of the one closest to my apartment. I gradually increased the distance. A year later, I started to run. Atfirst I could run for only two minutes, but I kept on.I made a difference. I was losing nine or ten pounds a month, and I had a lot more energy. I started to think about the New York City Marathon, which goes right past my apartment building. For years, I thought I could never do that. But now I realized that maybe I could. . .By my 33rd birthday, in the spring of 2009, I was down to 180 pounds. That summer, I started formally training for the Marathon. And on the morning of November 1, I stood on the Verrazano Bridge in Staten Island with more than 40, 000 other runners, waiting for the event to start.When we started moving, it was an amazing feeling to have people cheering me on, handing me cups of water. In Harlem, my mom and brother stood on a street corner, waving. And then I crossed the finishing line in Central Park, and somebody put a medal around my neck. I was in tears from being so happy.【写作内容】1. 以约30个词概括上文的主要内容。

What a shame it is to think of myself in the past! Many times, I put things off until tomorrow. Many times, I shelved my tasks and went to bed without finishing them, just finding excuses for myself. And now, time flies. I have to face the examination!To save time is to lengthen life. From my point of view, I believe that it’s of great benefit for us t o develop a good habit of cherishing time, from which we can make a sufficient preparation for tomorrow. Such a good habit will be bound to give us more confidence to make a greater difference in the future.We will always have time enough, if we use it right. With the help of my teacher, I made a planalmost every day for my study, and even asked my best friend to supervise me. Now my perseverance pays off: gradually I can make full use of my time and keep a good balance between study and rest. Only by finishing what we should do today can we better master our study and life for tomorrow!Passage 2【参考范文】The author was getting very fat when young and he tried to lose weight step by step. He tried hard and even joined in the City Marathon. At last he achieved great success.After reading the passage, I was deeply touched and admired the author for his insistence. If he had not been so determined and persistent, he would not have lost so much weight and lived an exciting life. His story shows that if one sets his mind to do something, nothing is impossible.It reminds me of a similar experience. One day it was announced that there would be a rope-skipping competition in our class. On hearing the announcement, I felt nervous because I had never done rope skipping before. But my sister, who promised to teach me, persuaded me to have a try. At the beginning I found it hard to learn to skip because my feet always blocked the rope. However, I didn’t lose heart and changed my way of learning. Gradually, I could s kip faster and faster. Thanks to my sister’s help and my perseverance I took part in the competition confidently, in which I skipped 155 times and ranked fifth.So my dear friends, I strongly recommend that only with insistence should your dreams eventually come true!。
