This drawing, apparently, can be associated with the critical significance of doing small things. In the picture, the youngster expresses his worries about “disposing of nuclear waste”. To his surprise, his father points at the dustbin, telling him that if he can empty the dustbin there, he can do anything.
二段:圖畫主題 + 現象 + 意義
The father means that if young people dream to achieve success, it is sensible for them to start with little jobs. Admittedly, in the present-day society, it is a common phenomenon for many teenagers to neglect tiny things in life, such as cleaning rooms, washing clothes and emptying dustbins. Why? The reason is that a growing number of young people find it rather useless to deal with these things. A typical example is the boy in the picture. Nonetheless, it is these small tasks that ensure young people to master sufficient knowledge, competence and experience. Actually, wise people in large numbers have come to recognize the significance of these small things. Doing small things brings us skills, arouses our passion for success and helps us to make progress.
尾段:觀點 + 建議 + 展望
As a college student, I am convinced that it is exceedingly necessary for young people to strengthen our comprehensive quality by doing small things. Accordingly, we should educate and encourage our friends and acquaintances to foster this positive awareness and habit. We, sparing no efforts to do so, may witness a hopeful and promising future of our work and study. Everyone should bear in mind that a big success originates from everyday small progress.(282 詞)
