二、使用實(shí)例，學(xué)會(huì)運(yùn)用

1. lt is a daydream to think that success can be achieved without making any efforts. As a proverb says， there is no free lunch in the world. 認(rèn)為不通過努力就取得成功，是白日做夢。正如諺語所說：世界上沒有免費(fèi)的午餐。

6. Many people lack the sense of environmental awareness， which is dangerous. If these continue， it will be like the saying， “The last drops of water will be our tears！”很多人缺乏環(huán)境意識(shí)，這一點(diǎn)很危險(xiǎn)。如果這樣繼續(xù)下去，正好驗(yàn)證那句話：最后一點(diǎn)水將是我們的眼淚。

7. Honesty is the best policy. It makes people around me trust and respect me， which is very important for me to make a successful life.誠實(shí)是最好的美德，它讓周圍的人信任和敬重我，使我有個(gè)成功的一生。

8. “Attitude is everything！” A positive attitude is like a lighthouse， showing us the road to success， while a negative attitude is like a drug， and leads to death.態(tài)度決定一切。積極的態(tài)度就像燈塔，指引我們走向成功，然而消極的態(tài)度就像毒藥，導(dǎo)致我們死亡。

總之，恰當(dāng)?shù)厥褂弥V語，會(huì)使你的文章錦上添花，給人留下深刻的印象，也會(huì)吸引閱卷老師眼球。
