请根据以下提示, 并结合生活学习实际, 用英语写一篇短文。
There is a crack in everything; that’s how the light gets in. What’s a crack? A crack is a very narrow gap between two things, or between two parts of a thing or a line that appears on the surface of something when it is slightly damaged.裂缝;裂纹Is a crack bad or good?What’s your understanding of “that’s how the light gets in”?A fall into the pit,
a gain in your wit.attach a moral to the “crack”A crack
A loss The light
A gain (lesson)如何开头1. 直接法:开门见山,直截了当地提出自己对要讨论的问题的看法。Contrary to the common belief that wrong behaviors have nothing to do with self-improvements. I hold the standpoint that cracks are of great significance as they can help us reflect on our behaviors.
2. Nothing is flawless, therefore, it’s the imperfection that makes life colorful, and most importantly, the cracks in life can help you examine how you grow up. 2. 引用法:先引出名人名言或者有代表性的看法,来引出文章要展开论述的观点。 As the saying goes , “A fall into the pit, a gain in your wit,” the crack in our life can serve as nutrition to help us grow up.
Just as Mark Twain once said, “the best time for you to find out the positive sides of yourself is when you’re in trouble.” When trapped in cracks, we are also given an opportunity to test our quality at the same time. There is a crack in everything; that’s how the light gets in.
It was the “crack” that reminded me …. With the light through the “crack”, I could seen … clearly. 写作实战训练
请根据以下提示,并结合具体事例,用英语写一篇短文。
