答案
Advantages of Challenging Goals Various goals can bring us organized life and success. However, people may ask which kind of goal is better: the challenging ones or the practical ones. As for me, challenging goals are more important to human than those that are easy to come true. First, challenging goals propel our society to move forward. The invention of airplane serves as a good example. Flying like a bird in the sky is one of the most desirable goals of human for thousands of years. Yet, due to the limitation of technological and material conditions,most of people just took this idea as an imaginary story which would never come true. Wright Brothers stuck to this aspiration and never gave up trying, though the other people did not understand them and laughed at them. Finally, they succeeded. Their great invention brought people into the blue sky and changed the way we travel absolutely. There are so many realizations of challenging goals enabling our world to step forward, such as, the advent of computer, Internet, submarine, and so on. This is just a drop in the ocean. The challenging goal can expand our eyes and minds and as the plenty of challenging goals come true, our society has progressed. Second, the challenging goals can foster us the sense of perseverance. The stories of many inventors can testify my point. Edison planned to invent the electric light lamp, which seemed nothing but a ridiculous joke to his peers in those days. In order to realize his goal, he did thousands of tests to find the most suitable materials. When failures repeated, all of his friends, even his wife, tried to persuade him out of his unrealistic goal. However, Edison insisted on it and gained success. In hope to find safe dynamite, Alfred Nobel was treated with failures as Edison was. Even worse, his younger brother was killed in his experiment and government once forbade his research, yet, Nobel did nothing but persisted and finally, he won the recognition worldwide for his remarkable finding. The challenging goals made these great men strong enough to view every defeat as another step toward success. Finally, the challenging goal might bring forth happy accidents. Consider the finding of gunpowder. In ancient China, many people had a very challenging, or an impractical goal, that is living forever. They believed that certain kind of pills could be made, which would give them immortality. In the process of making the elixir, they mixed unusual medicines together and accidentally, what they got was not what they really want but gunpowder, which is one of the most important inventions in the history of human beings. To sum up. challenging goals can boost the advancement of society, cultivate a good sense of perseverance and trigger off happy accidents.
解析
文章开头首先引出了争议所在,人们对于选择什么样的目标往往各执一词。作者单刀直入地提出了自己的看法,符合英语文章的一般特点。在正文巾,作者层次鲜明地提出了更有挑战性的目标能够给我们带来的好处。如果光是空洞的说理未免难以使人信服,因而作者使用了大量的例证(exemplification)手法,使文章更加充实饱满;且作者使用的都是大家耳熟能详的例子,如:爱迪生、诺贝尔等,这不仅能够拉近与读者问的距离,更能增强说服力。考生在写作中不妨多加借鉴,可以有效避免文章假大空的问题。
