写作指导:这是一篇议论文。写议论文,要求考生针对论题展开论述。在论述时,考生表达论点要明确,论述要有力。议论文通常由论点、论据、结论构成。本篇要求考生论证珍视时间就是珍视生命这一论点,并在正反两面论证的基础上得出自己的结论,即年轻人须珍视时间、珍视生命。 本篇作文题材为人们常谈论的话题,但却很有现实意义。在范文中,第一段先用人们熟悉的谚语引出主题,并在结论时提出了文章的论点——To value his time means to value his life. 第二段写如何珍视时间,并用雷锋的话作为典型的正面例子来总结。第三段说明有许多人正在浪费时间和青春,从反面论证了文章的观点。 文章最后一段是结论部分,是对第一段的说明与强化。在第一段中,作者提出珍视时间就是珍视生命,在结尾,作者再次表明自己的态度,指出人们应养成珍视时间的好习惯。这样,前后呼应的行文方式就会增强文章的感染力和说服力。
作文范文:Value Time, Value Life
As an old saying goes, “An inch of inch of gold. Gold can be regained if it is gone, but time will never return when it passed.” Perhaps time is unlimited in some degree, but man’s life is limited. So time at man’s disposal is extremely limited. Thus it comes to the point that man must value his time. To value his time means to value his life.
How to value our time? Some suggest that we make full use of our time to do good things for the people and the whole society. Being young men, we should not relax our efforts to engage in our studies. Lose no time in the study of all professions required so as to dedicate ourselves to the realization of the four modernizations. As Comrade Lei Feng says, “Plunge my limited life service of the people”.
But it is a great pity that there are more than a few young men who are not aware of the value of time. They spend their treasure time in drinking, dancing, idling and even gambling. They don’t realize that they are killing part of their valuable life.
To value our time,we should first of all develop a good habit of saving time. Never leave today’s work for tomorrow. Get rid of laziness and establish a correct view point of life. Arrange our time scientifically. “Work while you work, play while you play.” That will make your life happy.
