Topic：diligence 勤奋的意义
The cartoon aims at informing us of the significance of diligence. Definitely, no once can deny the importance of it. diligence enables us to achieve our objectives more smoothly and realize our dreams more rapidly. The more diligent we are , the more likely we are to accumulate experience, master skills, discover and kill off our shortcomings and create more opportunities. To further illustrate the importance of being diligent, I would like to take Michael Jordan as a case in point: how could he, one of the greatest basketball player throughout the history of mankind who was once deemed unsuitable for playing this game, achieve unprecedented success in NBA?
Accordingly, at no time should we underestimate the power of diligence. Furthermore, when coming with setbacks and bottlenecks, instead of giving up easily, what we must do is to stick to our goals and faith, tell ourselves that all efforts and diligence will be paid off. “good luck appears only when you are diligent enough.” Barack Obama also once said.
这幅漫画告诉我们勤奋的意义。当然，没有一次能够否认它的重要性。勤奋可以使我们更顺利地达成目标、更快速地实现梦想。我们越勤奋，我们就越有可能积累
因此，任何时候我们都不能低估勤奋的力量。此外，在遇到挫折和瓶颈的时候，不要轻易放弃，我们必须做的是坚持自己的目标和信念，告诉自己，所有的努力和勤奋会有得到回报的那天。“好运只会出现在你足够勤奋的时候。”美国总统巴拉克也曾这样说。
亨利福特 Henry Ford
尽管亨利·福特的名字和大生产的概念相连，但他在劳工保护上得到同样的赞誉，因为他早在1913年便实行了用今天的标准来衡量依然是先进的标准。 安全措施得到改进，日工作时间从当时普遍的10或12小时减少到8小时。 为了适应更短的日工作时间，整个工厂从双班变成了三班。
而且，病假和改善了的工伤医疗得以制度化。 福特汽车公司是最早建立技术学校来培训专门技工和为移民开设英语学校的'工厂之一。 公司甚至为雇佣残疾人和有前科的人而作出了一些努力。
最受广泛称赞的革新是实行五美元一天的最低工资。 其目的是招收和留住那些最好的技工并阻碍工会的发展。 福特从效率和利润分享的角度来解释这项新的工资政策。 他也提到这样一个事实，他的员工可以买他们生产的汽车--这实际上是为其产品另开辟了一个市常 为了够资格得到最低工资，员工必须建立一个得体的家庭并显示出良好的个人习惯，包括节制、俭盛勤勉和可靠。 虽然有人批评福特过多地干涉了员工的私人生活，但毫无疑问，在移民们被用恶劣的方式剥削的时代，亨利·福特却帮助了许多人在美国扎下根来。
although henry ford's name is closely associated with the concept of mass production, he should receive equal credit for introducing labor practices as early as 1913 that would be considered advanced even by today's standards. safety measures were improved, and the work day was reduced to eight hours, compared with the ten-or twelve-hour day common at the time. in order to accommodate the shorter work day, the entire factory was converted from two to three shifts.
in addition, sick leaves as well as improved medical care for those injured on the job were instituted. the ford motor company was one of the first factories to develop a technical school to train specialized skilled laborers and an english language school for immigrants. some efforts were even made to hire the handicapped and provide jobs for former convicts.
the most widely acclaimed innovation was the five-dollar-a-day minimum wage that was offered in order to recruit and retain the best mechanics and to discourage the growth of labor unions. ford explained the new wage policy in terms of efficiency and profit sharing. he also mentioned the fact that his employees would be able to purchase the automobiles that they produced -- in effect creating a market for the product. in order to qualify for the minimum wage, an employee had to establish a decent home and demonstrate good personal habits, including sobriety, thriftiness, industriousness, and dependability. although some criticism was directed at ford for involving himself too much in the personal lives of his employees, there can be no doubt that, at a time when immigrants were being taken advantage of in frightful ways, henry ford was helping many people to establish themselves in america.
雅安市 Ya'an City
There was an earthquake in Ya’an at about 8 o’clock on April 20, 2013. Many houses fell down. 192 people were killed and more than10,000 people were hurt. After the earthquake, the doctors, nurses, firemen and volunteers from all over the country hurried to the scene and tried to cure the survivors. Some businesses donated many things such as clothes, food, water and medicine to the local people. Some pop stars organized charity shows to raise money. The local government took action actively to search for more lost people and helped them out of sadness. I hope the people there can cheer up and rebuild their homes as soon as possible. We must try our best to help them.
2013年4月20日八点，雅安发生了地震。许多房屋倒塌。192人死亡，超过10000人受伤。地震后，各地的医生、护士、消防队员和志愿者赶到现场，试图治愈幸存者。有些企业捐赠了许多东西，比如衣服、食品、水和药品等，给当地人民。一些流行歌星举办慈善演出，以筹集资金。当地政府积极采取行动寻找更多失去的人，并帮助他们走出悲伤。我希望那里的人们能尽快振作起来，尽快重建家园。我们必须尽力帮助他们。
Making plans
制定计划
The cartoon aims at informing us of the significance of making plans. Definitely, no once can deny the importance of it. Making plan will enable us to achieve our objectives more smoothly and realize their dreams more rapidly. The more detailed plan we make , the more likely we are to make full use of time, enhance our work efficiency make full preparation in advance for unexpected cases. To further demonstrate the importance of making plans, I would like to take CEO as a case in point, how could a CEO, the head and decision-maker of a corporation , deal with all sorts of complicated things smoothly if he fails to draw up a detailed plan for routine work ?
这幅漫画的目的是告诉我们制定计划的重要性。肯定，没有一次可以否认它的重要性。制定计划将使我们能够更顺利地实现我们的目标，更快速地实现他们的梦想。我们制定的更详细的计划，更可能是充分利用时间，提高工作效率，为突发事件提前做好充分的准备。为了进一步证明制定计划的重要性，我想以首席执行官为例，公司的首席执行官，一个公司的总裁，一个公司的首席决策者，如果他没有制定一个详细的日常工作计划，能顺利地处理各种复杂的事情吗？
Accordingly, on no account should we overlook the power of plans. Furthermore, we should draw up detailed plans before we start to do anything and do things as planned . ““He who fails to plan, plans to fail.” A famous philosopher also once said.
因此，我们不应该忽视计划的力量。此外，在我们开始做任何事情之前，我们应该制定详细的计划，并按计划做事情。一位著名的哲学家也曾说：“没有计划，计划失败。”。

范文：
In the picture, we are amazed to find that the god of death is sitting maliciously on a bus whose driver dozed off while driving. It clearly tells us that in the domain of transportation, there are hidden dangers everywhere should we become careless.
Traffic accidents have long been a problem since the invention of automobiles, and are becoming an increasingly severe problem because of the boom of population, as well as the mass production of all forms of automobiles. There are more reasons for this issue. Firstly, many truck drivers are forced to drive days and nights with little rest simply because their employers desire more profit. Secondly, a lot of citizens drive after drinking alcohol, reacting slowly when encountering emergency. Thirdly, quite a number of young people enjoy acceleration, but their limited driving skills frequently lead to tragedies.
Judging from the analysis above, we may safely come to the conclusion that the daunting problem demands effective counter-measures. Most importantly, the government needs to implement sufficiently relevant laws and regulations in order to strengthen inspection. In addition, all residents should be aware of the hidden dangers in transportation and insist in keeping alert whenever driving.

在这幅图中，我们惊奇地看到死神正坐在一辆行驶的车上，恶毒地看着车中正在打瞌睡的司机。该图显然在告诉我们在交通领域，我们一旦不小心就会有许多潜在的危险。
交通事故自从汽车发明以来就一直是一个问题，现在由于人口的增长和各种汽车的大规模生产、这个问题变得越来越严重。此外，导致这个问题的原因还有很多。首先，很多卡车驾驶员被迫日夜不停地驾驶，因为他们的雇主想赚更多的利润。第二，许多市民在酒后驾驶，一旦发生紧急情况他们的反应会比较迟缓。第三，很多年轻人喜欢高速驾驶，但是他们的驾车技术有限，导致了很多悲剧。
从上面的'分析中，我们认为必须采取有效的措施来接决这一问题。最重要的是政府应该采取充分的法律法规来加强监管力度。此外，人们要普遍地意识到交通中许多潜在危险，因此我们在驾车的时候一定要保持警惕。
