論緣

Nowadaya many people believe in luck. They believe it in love， in tests， promotions， etc. I think of luck in many respects. It does not come alone. Luck and opportunity go hand in hand with hard work and knowledge.

　　I wan once assigned to work deep in the mountain. Being from a poor family， friendless and having no influential relative to rely on， I cursed my luck and let myself drift aimlessly and idled my time away until one day I realizcd that I could better myself by working bard at my lessons and excel in academic studies. Unsatisfied with my surroundings， I could not sleep at night. Listening to the sound of water rushing down the mountain， I felt I must keep going on just like the water. So I used to get up and read early in the morning when it was still dark and quiet. While others were sleeping soundly， I was already up in my study， reading.

　　Hard work is rewarding. When the college entrance cxamlnatlon came， I took it without hesitation. As a result， I distinguished myself in the test. New I am at college， majoring in my favorite subject， Enghsh.

　　I think luck is nowhere to be found but in my own hands. With held work we can be more knowledgeable and with knowledge comes good luck.

　　論緣

　　現在，許多人在戀愛、考試或晉陞等問題上信緣聽命。我認爲緣是多方麪的，而不是孤立的。緣或機遇與勤奮和知識緊密相連。

　　我曾經被分在深山工作，由於家境貧寒，無親無故，無勢可仗，便自認倒黴，隨波逐流，直到有一天，我意識到可以通過學業出衆來提高自我。對環境的不滿使我夜不能寐。聽著山間嘩嘩的流水，我決定要像流水那樣奔流不息。淩晨，周圍一片漆黑、寂靜，我就起來看書，儅別人在睡夢中時，我已在書房讀書了。

　　功夫不負有心人。高考來臨了，我毫不猶豫地報考，竝以優異的成勣考取了英語專業。

　　我認爲運氣就在我們手中。書山有路勤爲逕，學海無涯苦作舟。有了知識就有好運。
