写作题  Task II (20 marks)   Directions: Read the following poem and write an essay in which you should discuss its moral and express your personal views.   Little Things   — E.C.Brewer   Little drops of water,   Little grains of sand,   Make the mighty ocean   And the pleasant land.   Thus the little minutes,   Humble though they be,   Make the mighty ages   Of eternity.   Thus our little errors   Lead the soul away,   From the path of virtue,   Off in sin to stray.   Little deeds of kindness,   Little words of love,   Make our earth an Eden,   Like the heaven above.   You should write no less than 180 words. Now write the essay on the Answer Sheet.
【正确答案】 No matter how big one thing is, it is composed of numerous tiny component parts, and vise versa, no matter how small one thing is, it is always a component part of something larger. Although a drop of water or a grain of sand is negligible, however, innumerable of them can make up the vast ocean and land. Although we always tend to be neglectful of passing time of individual minutes, yet it is exactly what eternity of time is made of. That's also the case with our life. As the Chinese saying goes, “Do not fail to do good even if it's small; do not engage in evil even if it's small.” The gradual quantitative accumulation of tiny ones combined can bring about substantial qualitative changes. Even the above heaven of Eden that seems impossible can be made come true on our earth so long as we contribute every little deeds or words of kindness and love. An integral whole consists of component parts and meanwhile consists in them. So never skip over the trivial matters and seek for the larger ones. In that case we can never make it.
