1 自考本科英语(二)必备作文句型 （一） 1、失败是常有的事。 2、人们对失败有各种不同的态度。 3、我对失败的态度。 Is Failure a Bad Thing? Failure is a common 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 come across failures. They seem to think that it is the end of the world. Others, on the contrary, dont 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, well certainly go from victory to victory. So Im never afraid of failure, or I firmly believe that “failure is the mother of success.” 2 （二） 竞争是当今社会的普遍想象。竞争和合作经常并存。在 提倡竞争的同时我们不要忘了合作。 Competition and Cooperation Competition is a very common phenomenon in our social life today. We compete when we play games, we try to do better than others in our study and there is constant competition for jobs, fame, wealth and so forth. We can say, to some extent, competition is one of the motive force of the development of society. We often find competition and cooperation occurring at the same time. Think of a basketball game. During the game, one team is competing against the other, but each member of the team must cooperate with his teammates. In most cases, we cant compete without cooperation. Thus they are equally important. While advocating competition, we cant forget cooperation. In modern society, cooperation is especially important because most work is fulfilled with and through other people. So we must combine competition with cooperation to obtain our goals. （三） 城市无论大小都应该保持清洁。保持城市清洁不是一件 3 容易的事。为了保持城市的清洁，我们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 comfortable life, which will greatly hold back the development of the city. So its 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 city as long s all of us do what we should under the leadership of the government. 4 （四） 1、目前环保还存在着许多问题。 2、为了保护环境，各国政府做了大量的工作。 3、我的看法。 Protection of Environment There are still many problems of environmental protection in recent years. One o the most serious problems is the serious pollution of air, water and soil. The polluted air does great harm to peoples health. The polluted water causes diseases and death. Whats more, vegetation has been greatly reduced with rapid growth of modern cities. To protect the environment, governments of many countries have done a lot. Legislative steps have been introduced to control air pollution, to protect the forest and sea resources and to stop any environmental pollution. Therefore, governments are playing the most important role in the environment protection today. In my opinion, to protect environment, the government must take even more concrete measures. First, it should let people fully realize the importance of environment protection through education. Second, much more efforts should be made to put the population. Finally those who destroy the environment intentionally should be severely punished. We 5 should let them know that destroying environment means destroying mankind themselves. （五） 1、现代社会广告已经充斥了生活的每个角落。 2、和任何其他事物一样，广告也有两面性。 3、因此，面对广告我们得小心，以免上当受骗。 The Effects of Advertisement As one of the products of modern society, advertisement has filled almost every corner of the world.
