　　「範文」

　　No Pains， No Gains

　　People attempting a task may be discouraged in front of difficulties. They start with a great interest and passion. When they find that the task will take much more effort than they thought， their interest diminishes and their passion wanes. At that time， they are likely to have the idea of reaping a good harvest without much labor.

　　The old saying"No pains， no gains" comes as a word of cheer to these discouraged persons. No task that is really worth doing can be done either easily or quickly. No mastery of any knowledge or skill can be gained without painstaking efforts.

　　We students shoulder the task of learning knowledge that calls for exertion. To improve our grades is what every student wants. We may envy those who have achieved excellence， and wonder what makes them succeed.In fact， their secret of success is no secret. It depends largely on their efforts. Good grades only belong to hardworking students.

　　Many thanks for the favor you did for me！
