WHERE THERE IS A WILL, THERE IS A WAY 有志者事竟成The key to success is not so much money as a strong will. A great man is one who has a strong will and an indomitable spirit. In other words, if a man does not have a strong will to win the final victory, he will never succeed in his life. He is no more than a failure.　　 It is quite obvious that there is nothing difficult in the world. if you make up your mind to do it, you will certainly accomplish your end. That stands to reason.成功的要诀不是金钱而是一个坚强的意志。一个大人物是一个具有坚强意志和不屈不挠精神的人。换句话说，如果一个人没有坚强意志去获得最后胜利的人，他终其一生永远不会成功。他只不过是一个失败者。　　 很显明的世界上并没有难事。如果你下定决心去做它，你一定会达到目的。那是显而易见的。

28.How to Get Rid of the Pollution of the River

Our school has formed a group of “How to get rid of the pollution of the river”. Now I would like to give our suggestions of dealing with the subject.First, we should make some investigation, turn to our teachers for help and consult some experts. We may as well go to the Internet to collect some information.Second, we should hand in a report on the river pollution and express our opinions to the public.Third, we should, in groups, clean up the waste things on the river during the holidays, try to plant some young trees along the river and set up some bulletion boards to warn people of protecting the surroundings.With these done, I think the pollution of the river will be reduced. Meanwhile, we can benefit a lot from these activities.

　the ground. At this time, the boy went over and wanted to help her up, but his mother stopped him and said, “ Don’t do that , otherwise others will think it was you　 who knocked her down.”　 Another day the mother was surprised to see that her son just let the fallen oil bottle be. And the son said to his mother. “ If I had straightened up the bottle, you would have thought you did it.”I disagree with what the mother did in the picture. I think that parents should let children know it is a pleasure to help others who are in trouble. We live in the society, which is a big family for all of us. We should care for and help each other.

22.　 Last week, we did research into how laid-off workers get their new jobs. We had a discussion in three groups and then began our research separately.　 Group One surfed on the Internet and learned that most of the laid-off workers had already got their new jobs. In the vocational training center, the students in Group Two were told that there were five training courses for laid-off workers. After training, they began working as repairers, cooks, typists, household workers and salespersons. The other students interviewed some laid-off workers who had got new jobs.
