Noting Succeeds Without a Strong Will

“Nothing Succeeds Without a Strong Will” is accumulated experience we inherited from our forefathers. It stands to reason that persistence is vital to success; nevertheless, one’s end can never be accomplished with the lacking firmness of will.

A case in point is the quitting of smoking. On the eve of the World No-Tobacco Day this year, the Ministry of Education and Ministry of Public Health advocated that campus smoking-control intervention should be the forerunner of the nationwide smoking-control efforts, which, undoubtedly, has motivated the campaign of “Smoking-free School” that has been sweeping the whole of China. In the advance of the movement, the humorous saying has acquired a proverbial currency, “Quitting smoking is the easiest thing world. I’ve done it hundreds of time.” Obviously, wanting in perseverance, these smokers will never fulfill their purposes.

From what have been discussed above, we can reasonably come to the conclusion that only those tough-minded people can reach the summit. Otherwise, even if you have tried hundreds of times, you are still at the foot of the mountain, admiring those successful climbers.
提高英语四级作文关键在于：
1 词汇量是要有的  不要求什么高级词汇 但是用一些大学词汇总比高中词汇要来得好。
2 复合句子确实能显得作文很有水平 但是要记住 1到2句即可  我个人觉得2句就算多了  简单句好读  意思清楚明了
3 语法是重头  千万不能出现语法错误  这也是不要写复合句的原因  已出现语法 就会扣分相对较多
4 拼写就不用多说  这个也很重要
5 关联词的运用啊 那些比较特别的词 想必你已经知道有多重要 但是 在这里 重要的不是这些词  而是你要想办法把他用的和别人不一样 千篇一律分不高
6 平时多看看范文  记一记里面写的好的句子 词什么的  可以灵活套在自己要写的作文里。
7 思维还是有些地位的  作文结构也要严谨（不过一般作文会列出要写的要点  按照顺序写绝对OK  注：一般重点在中间的要点 可以考虑多写点 但不是说其他就一笔带过  都要有所扩充）有些作文就是考学生的想法 比如意见 建议啊  所以 这是能想出与众不同的 更好了 所以 多看范文 也可以帮助。
8 有时候  对于你觉得好的单词（当然不是高中词汇一类的） 查查意思 看看用法 以后也可以用到作文里。
9  字体一定要写得清楚啊 让快速阅卷的老师能一眼看出你写的是什么
