審題立意
1. 導(dǎo)語(yǔ)解讀：要求考生就題目中給定的話(huà)語(yǔ)“我們應(yīng)該學(xué)會(huì)不要等有了靈感才開(kāi)始做事。行動(dòng)總會(huì)產(chǎn)生靈感,而靈感很少會(huì)產(chǎn)生行動(dòng)。”進(jìn)行簡(jiǎn)評(píng)，引出“靈感和行動(dòng)”這一話(huà)題并進(jìn)行論述。
2. 文章立意：我們做事情必須先付諸行動(dòng),而不是坐等靈感出現(xiàn)才去行動(dòng)，只有行動(dòng)中產(chǎn)生的靈感才更有利于事情的完成。
寫(xiě)作思路
1. 第一段簡(jiǎn)述題目中話(huà)語(yǔ)的含義，然后提出論點(diǎn)：行動(dòng)比靈感更重要。
2. 第二段通過(guò)對(duì)比論證的方式闡述行動(dòng)比靈感重要的原因：是行動(dòng)促使我們達(dá)到目標(biāo)、實(shí)現(xiàn)夢(mèng)想。如果只是坐等靈感出現(xiàn)，則會(huì)錯(cuò)失良機(jī)。
3. 第三段通過(guò)引用名言“天才就是1%的靈感加上99%的汗水”再次強(qiáng)調(diào)行動(dòng)比靈感更重要這一論點(diǎn)，呼應(yīng)文章論點(diǎn)。
參考范文
“We should be taught not to wait for inspiration to start a thing. Action always generates inspiration. Inspiration seldom generates action.” The statement means that if we want to start something, we should take action instead of waiting for inspiration to start it. 1 It is obvious that action is more important than inspiration. 2
Action will enable us to achieve our objectives more smoothly and realize our dreams more rapidly. The more action we take, the more likely we are to get inspiration. More importantly, inspiration we get in practice will equip us with better ideas to take active action and get things well done. In this way, we accumulate experience, master skills and get close to our destination. 3 If we just wait for inspiration to start a thing instead of taking action, we may lose an opportunity. 3
Inspiration is not a decisive factor for success. Just as Edison’s famous remark goes, “Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration.” Therefore, success lies in perspiration from the action you take instead of inspiration you get. 4
“我們應(yīng)該學(xué)會(huì)不要等有了靈感才開(kāi)始做事。行動(dòng)總會(huì)產(chǎn)生靈感,而靈感很少會(huì)產(chǎn)生行動(dòng)?！边@句話(huà)意思是說(shuō)，如果想要開(kāi)始做一件事情，我們應(yīng)該采取行動(dòng)，而不是等有了靈感才去做這件事。顯然，行動(dòng)比靈感更重要。
行動(dòng)讓我們能夠更順暢地達(dá)成目標(biāo)，更快地實(shí)現(xiàn)夢(mèng)想。我們采取的行動(dòng)越多，就越有可能獲得靈感。更重要的是，實(shí)踐中得到的靈感會(huì)讓我們得到更好的想法，從而采取積極的行動(dòng)把事情做好。這樣，我們積累了經(jīng)驗(yàn)，掌握了技巧，離我們的目標(biāo)也近了。如果我們坐等靈感而不采取行動(dòng)，我們可能就會(huì)失去機(jī)遇。
靈感不是成功的決定性因素。正如愛(ài)迪生的名言所說(shuō)：“天才就是1%的靈感加上99%的汗水?！币虼?，成功在于你行動(dòng)中付出的汗水，而不是你獲得的靈感。
范文點(diǎn)評(píng)
1. 開(kāi)篇簡(jiǎn)述給定話(huà)語(yǔ)的含義。
2. 自然過(guò)渡，結(jié)合話(huà)語(yǔ)含義提出文章論點(diǎn)：行動(dòng)比靈感更重要。
3. 從靈感與行動(dòng)之間關(guān)系的角度論證自己的觀點(diǎn)。
4. 末段總結(jié)全文，引用名人名言指出成功的決定因素在于行動(dòng)中付出的汗水，而不是靈感。
要點(diǎn)用法
inspiration n. 靈感；妙計(jì)
take action 采取行動(dòng)
objective n. 目的；目標(biāo)
smoothly adv. 平穩(wěn)地；流暢地
accumulate v. 積累
destination n. 目的地，終點(diǎn)
decisive adj. 決定性的
perspiration n. 汗水；努力
句法點(diǎn)評(píng)
1. It is obvious that action is more important than inspiration.
句中用了It is obvious that...的主語(yǔ)從句結(jié)構(gòu)，該結(jié)構(gòu)在表明觀點(diǎn)時(shí)經(jīng)常用到。
2. Therefore, success lies in perspiration from the action you take instead of inspiration you get.
該句中l(wèi)ie in表示“在于……”；instead of連接兩個(gè)并列成分，the action you take和inspiration you get，二者的核心部分均為名詞，且分別被省略了關(guān)系代詞that的定語(yǔ)從句you take和you get所修飾。
