For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay entitled On Self-improvement by commenting on the saying, " There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self. " You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.
选项
答案
On Self-improvement Ernest Hemingway once said, "There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self." His remark is thought-provoking because more often than not, some people use others’ life as a yardstick against which to measure their own success. This mode of life will certainly do more harm than good. To begin with, if one keeps comparing his life with others’, he may end up with the pursuit of superiority over his peers rather than living his life to the fullest. Furthermore, if one devotes himself to this fanatical pursuit, he will be unable to spare a moment to reflect on his experiences. Consequently, his personal failings are overlooked, not to mention their corrections. In the end, he may be content with himself for having surpassed many of his peers, but he remains to be the person he was yesterday with those same failures, same weaknesses, and more importantly, same ignorance. Hence, one’s self-improvement should focus on himself, with his own life as the most important yardstick or else there would be no improvement at all.
解析
这是一篇议论文,讨论的是关于自我完善的问题。
第一段引用名言“超出身旁的人一点也不尊贵,真正尊贵的是超越自己。”现实中很多人把别人的生活作为标准来衡量自己的成功,这种生活模式有很多坏处。本段用了不少高级词汇,如thought-provoking,yardstick等,如此好的开头就已经成功了一半。
第二段对引言进行评论,论证以胜过别人作为成功标准的危害性。如果一个人一味和别人比较,最终会让自己无法充实地生活。如果特别执着于此,就没有时间反思自己的过去,忽视自己的缺点,更别说改正错误了。这样的标准让他满足于超越别人,但他还是原来的他。
第三段总结全文。指出自我的完善要专注于自身,自己的生活才应该是标准。
