新东方版

　　此次作文操作和以前一样，原因现象类文章，以前的老套路也能套上。但不同在于，考生必须事先看懂考卷中的文字，林肯的那一段话。“工欲善其事，必先利其器。”简言之，良好的准备是成功的基础。如果能在文中体现preparation和success这两个关键词，要点就基本体现完整了。
　　从上午四级到下午六级，我们可以明确的发现，作文写作方法用老的套路和步骤完全可行。第一段，表述成功和准备的重要性；第二段，分析原因第一、第二、第三；第三段，总结。但如果考生读不懂提纲所示，那么就麻烦了。
　　所以，重点是看懂题目，并且能把题目解释成一到两个简单的关键词。中文理解力很重要。能理解，行文就是模板。不能理解，模板就是废物。就这次作文来看，四六级作文在借用国际知名考试的出题模式。也再次验证了其科学性。
　　以下我们用新东方四级材料来说明文章的简单，和上午四级作文几乎一样，只需改动几个词就行。这篇文章是新东方四级写作10年来的材料，套用如常。不一定能获取高分，但能证明模板套用的可行性。
　　还是那句话，我们不猜题不压题，广大新东方学员学到的是不变应万变的应试写作方法。另外，作为国内权威的科学性较高的英语等级考试，它会更多的借用国际权威的英语考试出题模式。
　　Everyone tries to achieve success in his career. However, someone firmly attains his goal while another fails. Why? The one continues his cause to the end through long periods of hard struggling, but the other is easily disappointed or stops halfway.
　　Good preparation, perseverance and diligence are the three essentials of success. A man of solid preparation and perseverance always has an inflexible spirit. He sticks to his cause no matter how tough it might be. Dr. Sun Yat-sen was such a man. Many of his attempts failed, but he held to his purpose with firmness and finally succeeded in overthrowing the Qing Dynasty. Diligence means steadiness in one’s work and study. Su Qin stabbed himself in order to keep himself attentive to studies. Marx often worked 15 hours a day. Life is short and we have many things to do. Without diligence no one can achieve anything.
　　I believe that where there is a preparation there is a way, and that success belongs to those who can suffer long years of patient toil and constant efforts.

　　The Way to Success First essay—stream of thought type
　　The Way to Success
　　"Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration." And here comes our question, what is the way to success?
　　A strong will and great efforts are the most essential two keys to the door of success.
　　Why do people fail to achieve their goal? The reason is that most of them give up halfway due to their lack of a strong will once they encounter any difficulty. A man of a strong will always sticks to his cause no matter how tough it might be.
　　Would Thomas Edison be such a great man in history if he had done nothing but possessing a strong will? We are all familiar with his story that he had tried one thousand kinds of materials before he finally made his great bulb light up. Without hard effort, Edison might have been a nobody. Without efforts, no one can succeed.
　　To sum up, a strong will and great efforts can help one open up the way to success. Where there is a will with efforts, there is a way.
　　【作文解析】
　　本次六级考试作文题为The way to success，与本次四级考试作文Nothing succeeds without a strong will遥相呼应，大同小异，都是在讨论成功这一话题。
　　此次六级考试作文的话题依然是老生常谈，即通往成功的道路，相信很多考生对此并不陌生，背过范文的同学写起来肯定也是得心应手。
　　该范文段落结构清晰，阐释说理也足以让人信服，是一篇不错的作文。
　　开篇作者通过引用爱迪生关于天才的一句名言来引出问题，吸引读者注意，引起读者的思考。紧随其后，作者就开门见山地亮出了自己的观点：只有坚强的意志和不懈的努力才能打开成功的大门。
　　第二段，作者同样以一个问题来引领全段，引发思考。然后通过对比不成功和最终成功的人的不同表现，来阐释坚强的意志对获得成功的重要作用。
　　第三段，作者进一步阐释“仅有坚强的意志，没有实在的努力，也能成功吗？”同样是先发问，然后举了爱迪生的事例，来证明答案是否定的。举名人的例子，而非个人的实例来作为文章的论据才更有说服力，这也是这篇作文的高明之处。
　　最后一段，作者先以第一句话进行了总结，然后为了加强作文结尾的力度，作者还对名言“Where there is a will, there is way”进行了改编，换成了自己的观点，为我所用，这也是本篇范文的一个两点之处。注意，写作文时对名言进行恰当地改编，不仅能体现幽默创新的一面，同样也体现了作者不错的文字驾驭技巧，考官也是很欢迎这样的文章的。

　　The Way to Success First essay—stream of thought type
　　No one has the exclusive way to success. Some say money. Some say love. Others say a house, a car, a child, a degree from a top university—but all are of these are only outward ways to show others that we’re successful. People think that they must have these things before they can be happy, but Scott Achor in “The Happiness Advantage” says that the opposite is true. Achor, who is a professor at Harvard University and who has been teaching the “Happiness Course” for fifteen years, recently wrote this book to show that happiness breeds success, not the other way around. When I read it, it struck a chord with me and I realized that truly positive, happy people always seem to love what they do and who they are with. Even if times get tough, they don’t knuckle under. They persevere and overcome all obstacles.
　　To me, the way to success is to figure out what you truly believe in and love in life. You should write up a mission statement about how you can contribute to the world by doing what is meaningful to you. Then, you should go after your dream—no matter what it is or if it fits society’s version of a successful reality. Set goals, divide them into specific tasks, learn what you need to learn, do what you need to do and always keep the prize in mind. The way to success is to have a clear vision of your future and know what will make you happy. If you are doing what you love, with people that you care about, and making a meaningful contribution to the world, you will not only be happy, but you will be successful.
　　解析：
　　这是一篇议论文。结构非常清晰，首先由Achor教授提出的success与happiness之间的关系，暗示了自己对于成功的解读。第二段，告诉读者the way to success的具体几个步骤：Set goals, divide them into specific tasks, learn what you need to learn, do what you need to do and always keep the prize in mind. 与中式思维产出的英语文章相比，此文行文流畅深刻，说理充分，很有背诵的必要。但唯一的不足之处就是，字数超过了考题要求⊙﹏⊙b。
　　本文亮点：
　　1. exclusive way to success
　　2. happiness breeds success, not the other way around
　　3. it struck a chord with me
　　4. knuckle under
　　it fits society’s version of a successful reality
