參考範文
「Only those who have the patience to do simple things perfectly ever acquire the skill to do difficult things easily」. Obviously, this refers to the relationship between doing small things and undertaking something big. 1 It is true even today. 2 We cannot expect to do difficult things with ease if we are not patient enough to do simple things perfectly. 3
There is no denying that if one intends to undertake greater responsibility it is advisable for him to begin with small tasks. Nowadays it has become a trend for many youngsters to talk big. Meanwhile, an increasing number of them deem it useless to do small things like cleaning dorms and washing clothes. 4 However, it is small tasks that enable one to build up adequate experience, knowledge and skills that will be helpful in tackling big tasks. As a matter of fact, an increasing number of wise people have come to realize the significance of small success in life, work and study. 5
As a college student, I am firmly convinced of the necessity to enhance ourselves by doing small tasks. Accordingly, we should encourage our friends, classmates and acquaintances to be patient with every small thing so that we will embrace a promising future. 6
「只有有耐心圓滿完成簡單工作的人，才能夠獲得輕鬆完成困難事情的技能。」顯然，這句話說的是做小事和做大事之間的關係。即便如今，這句話也是正確的。如果我們沒有足夠的耐心去做好簡單的事情，就不能指望輕而易舉地完成困難的事情。
毫無疑問，如果一個人想要承擔更大的責任，最好從小事做起。當今，很多年輕人都喜歡說大話。同時，越來越多的年輕人認為諸如打掃宿舍、洗衣服之類的小事都不值得去做。然而，殊不知正是小事能使人積累足夠的經驗、知識以及技能，而這些經驗、知識和技能將有助於我們處理重大任務。事實上，越來越多的聰明人已經開始意識到生活、工作和學習中那些小小的成功的意義了。
作為一名大學生，我堅信我們有必要通過完成簡單的任務提升自己。因此，我們應該鼓勵我們的朋友、同學和熟人耐心做好每一件小事，從而擁有充滿希望的未來。
範文點評

2. 自然過渡，引出這句話在當今依然適用。
3. 首段末句明確表達自己的觀點：如不能認真對待每一件小事，就不可能輕而易舉地完成困難的事。
4. 舉反面事例說明當今社會「說大話」和「小事無用論」已成為一種趨勢，樹立靶子，為下文的批駁作鋪墊。
5. 反駁上文所述現象，從正面說明認真完成小事的意義。
6. 末段總結全文，重申觀點。

句法點評
1. There is no denying that if one intends to undertake greater responsibility it is advisable for him to begin with small tasks.
There is no denying that...是一個固定句式，意為「毫無疑問，毋庸置疑……」。由that引導的從句中包含了一個由if引導的條件狀語從句，這種從句也稱為嵌入式從句。
2. However, it is small tasks that enable one to build up adequate experience, knowledge and skills that will be helpful in tackling big tasks.
這句話是一個強調句式，被強調的部分為small tasks，是為了突出做小事情的作用。強調句的結構為：It is (was)+被強調部分+that (who)+句子其他部分，被強調部分為物時只能由that引導，指人時，既可以用that，也可以用who。強調句是一種修辭，是人們為了表達自己的意願和情感而使用的一種句式。
3. As a college student, I am firmly convinced of the necessity to enhance ourselves by doing small tasks.
這句話中有兩個重要結構，第一個是be convinced of，意為「確信……」，另一個是the necessity to do sth.，意為「有必要做某事」。
