Answers for reference:
A gold medal is a
tribute to the athletic talent, determination and
courage of an Olympic
champion. Then how do
the athletes make themselves fortunate enough to
be so highly honored?
The champions who have
mounted the winners’ stand can offer an answer
based on their own
experiences. First, in the
course of training, they visualize themselves as
champions. Once their
dreams of becoming
champions take shape, they will cling to them
courageously. What’s more,
top performers are
driven to bring out their best. They discipline
themselves and squeeze in
every possible
minute to practice every day. Despite their
relentless efforts, they may sometimes
fail to
win or narrowly miss a gold medal, yet they
believe in themselves and never lose heart.
They are ready to take on the most
psychologically and technically challenging tasks
or
competitions. In reality, all champions
have experienced lots of hardships on their way to
the vital
break of their lifetime. So we won’t
and can’t say that a champion is lucky. After all,
luck only
strikes those prepared to capitalize
on it.
Theme-Related Writing
1.
Write an essay about your favorite sports team.
The following hints may be of some help.
1)
What is your favorite sports team?
2) Why do
you like it so much?
3) Do you always support
the team?
▇ Sample essay 1:
My favorite
Sport Team: the Chinese Women’s Volleyball Team
In quite a few sports, Chinese women athletes
outshine men athletes. As a girl, I always feel
proud of our women table tennis players,
badminton players, women divers and gymnasts. But
my
greatest enthusiasm always goes to the
Chinese Women’s Volleyball Team, who, though it
has
undergone some ups and downs, always
presents a positive, inspiring image to the
public.
I’ve never missed any major TV
coverage of the Chinese women’s team. I can’t help
getting
excited watching the girls shine in
court, with their amazing spikes and blocks, and
their
never-ceasing courage and faith in
winning the match. There are times when they lose
the game,
sometimes with embarrassing result
like 0:3; there are years when they suffer a lot
of injuries and
new players do not match up to
the veterans, yet, one must admit that the Chinese
girls have been
practising very hard all the
way.
Recent years have witnessed a difficult
period for the team as Russian, American, Cuban,
and
Brazilian teams have been rising in
ranking and winning championships, but I still
have faith in
our team and give them my
support. I wish them good luck in the coming
Olympics.

2. Write an
essay entitled “The Meaning of Winning a Prize”.
You may base your writing on
what you have
learnt from the two texts. The following hints may
be of some help.
1) What is a prize?
2)
What does a prize bring about?
3) What is the
fundamental meaning of wining prizes?
4
▇ Sample essay 2:
In today’s
society, competitions, contests and games are held
virtually every day and
everywhere. These
activities put the participants into two
categories: winners and losers. As
symbols of
public recognition, prizes are awarded to those
who mount the winners’ stand.
A prize brings
about fame, prestige and good fortune. Winners are
constantly in the spotlight
and attract
admiring attention. Their friends and colleagues
come to congratulate them and their
families
take pride in them. More often than not, prizes
simultaneously bring wealth to the
winners as
in the case of an Olympic gold medal or a Nobel
Prize. Therefore, winners harvest both
a good
reputation and material rewards.
However, this
is not the essential meaning of wining a prize.
Winners are worthy of respect,
admiration and
good fortune because they embody some outstanding
qualities that are worthy of a
prize:
perseverance, diligence and optimism. An athlete
undergoes years of training and takes
hundreds
of highly demanding challenges before he steps
onto that podium; a writer becomes
popular
overnight after he has spent years writing
relentlessly in poverty and anonymity. What’s
more, optimism in the face of adversity also
contributes a lot to their success. They believe
in
themselves and have great passion for what
they are engaged in. They endeavor to do their
best,
enjoying the process of fighting well.
Therefore, the fundamental meaning of winning a
prize does
not merely lie in the rewarding
fame or wealth, but in the process of presenting
the best part of
oneself.
