失敗是常有的事。.人們對失敗有各種不同的態(tài)度。我對失敗的態(tài)度。 Is Failure a Bad Thing? Failure is a mon thing in our daily life. For example, sometimes we fail to pass the examinations. On other occasions, we are defeated in sport games. And there are times when we fail to do more satisfactory work. So it is safe to say that every one of us must have encountered failure of one kind or another. However, different people have different attitudes towards failure. Some people lose heart when they e across failures. They seem to think that it is the end of the world. Others, on the contrary, don’t take failure seriously. They seem to think that failure is first step to success. In my opinion, what really counts is not failure itself, but our attitude towards it. If we are afraid of failure and yield to it easily, we are bound to have one failure after another. But as long as we have confidence in ourselves and learn something from failure, we’ll certainly go from victory to victory. So I’m never afraid of failure, or I firmly believe that “failure is the mother of success.”競爭是當(dāng)今社會的普遍想象。競爭和合作經(jīng)常并存。在提倡競爭的同時我們不要忘了合作。Competition and Cooperation Competition is a very mon phenomenon in our social life today. We pete when we play games, we try to do better than others in our study and there is constant petition for jobs, fame, wealth and so forth. We can say, to some extent, petition is one of the motive force of the development of society. We often find petition and cooperation occurring at the same time. Think of a basketball game. During the game, one team is peting against the other, but each member of the team must cooperate with his teammates. In most cases, we can’t pete without cooperation. Thus they are equally important. While advocating petition, we can’t forget cooperation. In modern society, cooperation is especially important because most work is fulfilled with and through other people. So we must bine petition with cooperation to obtain our goals.城市無論大小都應(yīng)該保持清潔。保持城市清潔不是一件容易的事。為了保持城市的清潔,我們的政府做了大量的工作。Keep Our City Clean A city, whether small or big, should be kept clean. A clean environment will do us much good. Without the clean environment, we can hardly keep fit, work efficiently or live a fortable life, which will greatly hold back the development of the city. So it’s of great importance to keep our city clean. Moreover, keeping the city clean is not an easy job. We can clean up the city and keep it clean temporarily, but can we keep it clean for good? This arduous work is in close relation to the economy of the city, the government policy and citizens’ qualities. It demands permanent efforts and scientific measures and right attitudes. In order to keep the city clean, our government has taken a great many steps, which includes proper investment, making plans and regulations, the disposal of rubbish, the forestation, and the layout of gardens and flower beds and lawns. We can expect a clean and beautiful ci
