　　Being Great by Doing Small Things

　　There is no doubt that many people want to be great and successful, but only a few can climb to the top and be admired by the world. However, it doesn’t mean that most of us are losers. Actually everyone can achieve high by doing small things in a great way.

　　We have to admit that there are something that we cannot accomplish right now, but it isn’t the excuse for us to stop trying. Being great needs time and patience, so only when all small accomplishments add up can many impossibilities gradually turn to possibilities. At least, one won’t regret for not making effort to achieve the goal. For example, one may doesn’t have the resources or training on how to be a world-class musician, but by constant practice of every short piece of music, he can still bring happiness, comfort and inspiration to his family members and friends, then this person is great in the eyes of the audiences.

　　Therefore, never cease the pace on the road to our dreams. As long as we stick to our goal and be serious to whatever related to it, we can be considered as great.

　　點評：

　　本題由諺語 “If you cannot do great things, do small things in a great way.” 引出話題，探討成就與大事和小事之間的關系，對“大”與“小”進行辨證理解。話題與往年出現的成功、大事小事、積累、堅持等都有關聯。本題難度較大，從日常學習上升到成就與感悟，需要考生在平日多進行批判思考，才能在考場上有話可寫。

　　正如我們在考前押題中所講，建議考生針對此話題采取三段式寫作。

　　三段式：

　　第一段：首先從對成功的渴望做鋪墊(There is no doubt that many people want to be great and successful)接著轉折說不是所有都能達到預期，最后點明下文論述重點：每個人都能從做小事變為大人物(everyone can achieve high by doing small things in a great way)

　　第二段：確立觀點，具體論述：

　　觀點一：成功需要小事的長時間積累 (only when all small accomplishments add up can many impossibilities gradually turn to possibilities);觀點二：把小事做好不會讓自己有遺憾(one won’t regret for not making effort to achieve the goal);最后再加例子證明：小事做好就是成功(then this person is great in the eyes of the audiences)。

　　第三段：Therefore… 總結全文，強調不放棄夢想，做好每件小事就是成功。
