A well-known proverb goes that “where there is a will, there is a way”, which means that one can find a way to success as long as he or she has a strong will. With a strong will, one can focus all his energy on one point, which makes his success possible. Without a strong will, however, one can be easily distracted from his goal or discouraged by setbacks, which leads to his ultimate failure.
History abounds with examples of strong-willed figures winning success. Actually, there is no better illustration of the proverb than the deeds of Gou Jian, king of Yue in ancient China. Defeated by Fu Chai, king of Wu, Gou tried every means possible to steel his will. Eventually, with the help of Fan Li and Xi Shi, he managed to rebuild his country and his armies and had Fu Chai taste the bitterness of failure.
In short, a strong will is essential if we want to make achievements in our studies or work, or indeed in any other aspect of our lives. One should lose no chance to strength his will and remember, God helps those who help themselves.

　　那要看你是写什么阶段的英文作文.
初中的英文作文比较简单,单词不要出错，尽量用简单的句子.简洁,就可以,这是初中作文制胜的法宝,无论考试或者竞赛都是,避免用定语谓语等等从句,因为初中生对此掌握不熟悉,在引导词连词等方面容易出错误.笔者初中时参加过两次全国中学生英语竞赛,分别是初二初三,都是用的简洁的作文,满分.
高中的作文就不能像初中那么写,高中对语法单词句子的要求比初中要高很多.初中的那种简单作文,即使不出错,也不可能得到高分.所以高中作文要在初中的基础上更进一步,在简单的同时,也要学会应用各种从句,建议多读一些原版读物,加强自己的表达能力.单词,语法,漂亮句子,都可以适当的使用发挥.但是不要脱离课本,因为无论竞赛还是考试,都是以课本为基础的.
要加强英语作文的写作能力,最重要的就是多阅读,英文报纸,书籍,都可以作为材料,从中寻找有用的表达信息.英文的表达是很丰富的,作文中要尽量避免汉语的思维,尽量加入具有欧美气息的句子,这样会使你的作文增色不少.
