Although the shovel and bucket are besides him, he is too lazy to water the tree. The author of the cartoon invites us to focus on a truth that great harvest could not be realized without great efforts. There are simply no major success and achievements in the world that are not achieved through hard-work and diligence. A glimpse of my own experience reveals the stronger power of diligence. I participated in the National English Speech Contest for college students last year. Faced with many talented candidates from all over the country, I was nervous and suddenly lost confidence. However, I did not give up for I am convinced that as long as I keep working hard for this, good results would definitely come. In the following month, I spent every minute of my leisure time collecting information, reciting and practicing. At last my diligence and efforts rewarded me with the first prize. From my perspective, industriousness is like a boat that carries us to our dream on the other side of the river. Therefore, we should set up a goal and work diligently towards it rather than lying in bed dreaming about the goal being achieved by itself. As a Chinese proverb says, there are no gains without pains. Test 2 Directions: Write an essay of 160-200 words based on the following drawing.

With no conscience and courtesy, he completely ignores, as if his eyes are covered with a scarf, that a little girl and her old grandpa, a pregnant lady are standing around him. The caption besides reads “temporarily blind”. Obviously, the cartoonist invites us to focus on the problem of moral decline in our country. Because of China’s one-child policy, many of the young generation are the center of attention at home. Therefore, they hold the idea that I am the one that should be taken care of and that anyone outside my circle is of no importance to me. Just like the young man in the cartoon, they show no sympathy towards others who need their help. The traditional virtue of respecting the old and caring for the young has totally disappeared from their minds. From my perspective, improving the moral standards of the young individuals really matters for our country to build a harmonious society. Therefore, education from families and the society must be enhanced to encourage young individuals to carry forward the traditional virtues of our country. Together, we can realize our Chinese Dream.
