Luck or hard work

Is it luck or hard work that brings success? The answer is “hard work”. One’s efforts bring him success and not his luck. It is said, “Triumphs don’t come without effort.”

Luck favors only those who help themselves. The harder you work, the luckier you get. A man works day and night giving up all his play and delight and moves ahead to earn success and when he earned it people called it luck. This excellence is in fact not luck, but result of a lot of hard work. Any idea cannot become a success unless we work hard on it.

Today we are leading a happy and comfortable life due to hard work of someone else. We have bulbs to remove the darkness in a room; this was possible by hard work of Edison. We chat over phone with our friends, enjoying which has resulted by the hard work put in by Alexander Graham Bell.

The world lifts its hats up to one who puts 50 percent of their efforts and on its head for those few soul who devote 100 percent thus. “Success accompanies only those who work hard and not the ones who hardly work.”

When you start talking about good and bad manners, you immediately start meeting difficulties. Many people just cannot agree with  36  they mean. We asked a lady, who replied that she thought you could tell a well-mannered person  37  the way they occupied the space around them. However,  38  second person thought that this was  39  a question of civilized behavior than good manners. Instead, this other person told us a story about an American who  40  (invite) to an Arab meal in one of the   41   (country) of the Middle East. The American hadn’t been told much about the kind of food he might expect.   42  he had known about Arab food, he might have behaved better. Immediately before him was a very flat piece of bread that looked, to him, very much like a napkin.  43  (pick) it up, he put it into his collar(衣领) so that it fell across his shirt. His Arab host, who had been watching, said nothing,  44  immediately copied the  45 (act) of his guest. And that, said the second person, was a fine example of good manners.

Standard English is the formal（正式的）English that you need to use when you write in coursework or in the exam. Standard English is the form of English you learn in school. All written English should be standard—that means it should be clear enough for anyone in Britain to understand it. Standard English developed as the main form of printed English in the 15th Century. At the time, every region of Britain used to spell words differently, but printers needed a fixed spelling. Printers like Caxton chose the East Midlands dialect form which was used in London and the South East. Soon Standard English replaced（取代）all written dialect forms – the other forms of English spoken around the country. It also replaced French and Latin in law and in academic（学术的） work. In the 18th Century, people wrote dictionaries and grammar books which standardized spelling — Dr Johnson’s Dictionary of 1755 fixed many of the spellings we still use today. All written English should be Standard English — any grammar rules you learn are for Standard English and you will definitely need to learn them to avoid making mistakes in your work. The rules of Standard English mean using the correct forms of words with the correct spellings.

Avoid slang words（俚语）—words that your teachers or friends wouldn’t understand. You’ll lose marks if the examiners can’t understand what you say or write. Don’t use dialect words. Every region has words or phrases that are only used there. Don’t use them in your coursework, because you won’t be understood. Make sure you revise grammar and punctuation（标点）you have learned, and learn the list of commonly misspelled words you have made. Clichés are ideas or sayings which have been used so often that they’ve become boring and unoriginal. Phrases like, “As good as it gets” “At the end of the day” “In the fullness of time” are all clichés. So are images like, “as fierce as a lion” “as cunning as a fox”. If you use them you will sound boring and unimaginative— that could mean you lose marks for writing and speaking style. So avoid clichés.

What three things do you have to think about when using English? 

a. no slang word or dialect     b. no grammar and spelling mistake.  c. no phrase    

d. no cliché    e. no punctuation

A. abc.              B. bcd.                        C. abd                            D.. ade.

 I was telling my boy Sonny the story of the hare (兔子) and the tortoise (乌龟). At the end I said. “Son, remember: Slow and steady (稳固的) wins the race. Don’t you think there’s something to learn from the tortoise?”

Sonny opened his eyes wide, “Do you mean next time when I’m participating in the 60-metre race I should wish that Billy and Tony and Sandy would all fall asleep halfway?”

I was shocked, “But the tortoise didn’t wish that the hare would fall asleep on the way!”

“He must have wished that,” Sonny said. “Otherwise how could he be so stupid as to race with the hare? He knew very well the hare ran a hundred times faster than he himself did.”

“He didn’t have such a wish,” I insisted, “He won the race by perseverance , by pushing on steadily.”

Sonny thought a while. “That’s a lie,” he said. “He won it because he was lucky. If the hare hadn’t happened to fall asleep, the tortoise would never have won the race. He could be as steady as you like, or a hundred times steadier, but he’d never have won the race. That’s for sure.”

I gave up. Today’s children are not like what we used to be. They’re just hopeless.
