【答案解析】Sample Writing
As we can see from the depiction, a single person, riding on a bike, is sparing no efforts to pursue high speed without caring about his own physical condition. Actually, it is a Morning Call to send us a message that haste makes waste, as a classic Chinese saying goes.
But my own worry today is less that of the overwhelming problem of human"s approaches to pursuit than it is of the slightly more luxurious agony of the decline in the thinking style to speed even of the educated. Several factors could weigh heavily for this degeneration, yet, suspended at the top of the list are the following two aspects. To begin with, as the economic boom brings not only the high standard of modernization but the fast rhythm of living as well, many citizens, especially young college graduates, could hardly keep cool when facing the relentless competition. It is estimated that one in four college students thinks he may lose the chance to enjoy a wonderful life if there is no promotion within 3 years. Furthermore, externally, our society is witnessing an overwhelming number of low-level media, ranging from TV talk show to some other inferior products, which exaggerate this kind of nonsense to produce the over-worship toward so-called "speed".
Taking into account all analyses mentioned above, we may safely arrive at a conclusion that it is, unquestionably, unreasonable to be utilitarian in our work and daily life. So, a list involving some constructive and liberal mottos to guarantee habits for calming down ourselves should be adhered to our dressing table as soon as possible.
