【正确答案】[范文]
   It's said that "when you stop chasing the wrong things you give the right things a chance to catch you." From that we can learn that if we give up the way that doesn't work out, the other might help us to attain our ends.
   Take me as an example. I was not good at mathematics since my childhood, and even scared of studying it during high school, so I asked a teacher to privately tutor me. Gradually I became dependent on the teacher—I could quickly solve a math problem with him, but strenuously without him, so I didn't make much progress in math actually. Hence, I decided to get rid of my dependence on him and walk around the math world on my own feet. Meantime, I also got a chance to thoroughly reexamine myself.
   I stopped walking on the way of being dependent on others, and got a chance of pursuing self-realization. All in all, no matter how slim a chance is, it always exists and will catch you sooner or later, so long as you stop chasing the wrong things.

【答案解析】 1. It's said that "when you stop chasing the wrong things you give the right things a chance to catch you." From that we can learn that if we give up the way that doesn't work out, the other might help us to attain our ends.
   开篇引用题目中给出的引语，接着用简单易懂的语言概括出引语要义，引出文章论点。
   2. Take me as an example...Meantime, I also got a chance to thoroughly reexamine myself.
   第二段作者结合自身经历，用具体实例说明论点中所包含的辩证关系。
   3. Gradually I became dependent on the teacher—I could quickly solve a math problem with him, but strenuously without him, so I didn't make much progress in math actually.
   此句的句式较复杂，破折号后面的I could quickly solve a math problem with him, but strenuously without him进一步具体说明对老师的依赖程度。同时句中还使用了结果状语从句so I didn't make much progress in math actually来说明依赖的结果。
   4. All in all, no matter how slim a chance is, it always exists and will catch you sooner or later, so long as you stop chasing the wrong things.
   最后一句话用all in all进一步强化论点，深化主题，做到首尾呼应。
[参考译文] 有人说过：“当你不再追逐错误的事情时，你就给了正确的事情一个邂逅你的机会。”从这句话中我们可以学到，如果我们放弃了一种行不通的方式，另一种方式或许能帮我们实现目标。
   以我为例，我自小就不擅长学数学，在高中时期甚至有些惧怕学数学，于是我请了一位老师来私下指导我。渐渐地我对那位老师产生了依赖——老师在时我能很快解决一道数学题，老师不在时我却答得很费劲，所以我在数学方面实际上并没有取得很大的进步。因此，我决定摆脱对他的依赖，靠自己的双脚在数学的世界里遨游。同时我也获得了一个彻底重新审视自己的机会。
   我不再依赖别人，并得到了一个追求自我实现的机会。总之，无论机会多么渺小，它始终存在，只要你不再追逐错误的事物，你迟早会得到这个机会。
