請根據(jù)以下提示，并結(jié)合具體事例，用英語寫一篇短文。

When you take action， the boundaries of what you believe to be possible expand， which in turn gives you the ability to consider new possibilities.

注意：1. 無須寫標題；

2. 除詩歌外，文體不限；

3. 內(nèi)容必須結(jié)合你生活中的具體事例；

4. 文中不得透露個人姓名和學校名稱；

5. 詞數(shù)不少于120，如引用提示語則不計入總詞數(shù)。

上題是一道典型的湖北卷短文寫作題。從近年湖北卷的短文寫作試題以及湖北高考英語考試說明看，2015年湖北卷短文寫作的命題仍將保持傳統(tǒng)的命題風格，即給出一段哲理性的英語名言警句類作為提示，要求考生圍繞該提示的話題，結(jié)合事例展開闡述。

寫好此類作文應該從下面幾個方面著手：

1. 認真審題，弄清話題。

首先閱讀寫作素材，提煉寫作話題，然后根據(jù)題目的要求，選取自己校園生活或?qū)W習中的一件事例，合理想象，設定要點和內(nèi)容。此時同學們最好先列出一個簡短的英語或漢語提綱，以免出現(xiàn)寫作過程中忘記要點，不知道該如何繼續(xù)寫作的情況。

2. 分析事件背景，確定寫作時態(tài)。

湖北卷的短文寫作通常為記敘文為主，此時應該用一般過去時講述自己或身邊人的經(jīng)歷，而在發(fā)表議論時則應該用一般現(xiàn)在時。

3. 注意行文邏輯，妙用過渡詞句。

在結(jié)合事例展開寫作時，一定要使用一些過渡詞句，以保證敘述的連貫。

讓我們以本文開頭的短文寫作題為例，談談如何審題謀篇。

本篇寫作的話題是“積極行動起來，我們才能實現(xiàn)人生的發(fā)展?！蔽覀冞€是用三段式的篇章結(jié)構(gòu)來布局：

1. 直接說明話題內(nèi)容：我們只有投入實際行動才能實現(xiàn)我們的目標，并拓展我們的能力；

2. 結(jié)合自己的學習和生活來舉例進行說明；

3. 講述完事例后，再次回歸主題，說明自己的感悟。

如何恰當?shù)亟o文章開頭和結(jié)尾一直是同學們的一大困擾。這就需要我們熟悉各種適用的句型，比如我們可以用類似這樣的語句快速進入寫作內(nèi)容：

1. All through my years of school life， what I have learned is that... （話題）

2. In our daily life， its common that we may be faced with countless difficulties/choices. Its our attitude that determines whether we can make a difference in life.

3. Theres no denying （the fact） that for us school students， what counts most is that... （話題）.

4. Its universally acknowledged that encouragement is like warm and bright sunshine， which can cheer up the heart of anyone in low spirits.

結(jié)尾我們可以采用以下語句：

1. Therefore， it goes without saying that...

2. In conclusion， we have every reason to believe that only by... can we hope to... and achieve our goals.

3. My experience fully illustrates that what counts most is... if we are to overcome difficulties in life.

4. To sum up， its not our abilities but our choices that show what we truly are.

5. However hard times may get， hold your heads up and be strong； show them you are not as weak as they think.

現(xiàn)提供一篇范文供參考：

Through my years of school life， Ive come to realize the importance of taking specific action rather than just sitting there daydreaming or being scared by setbacks.

When still in primary school， looking at other students coming and going on their bikes made me jealous. I immediately set to action， asking my parents to buy me a bike. I began to practice. Though having suffered countless falls， I finally managed to keep my balance on it. You cant imagine how proud I felt！ More importantly， this experience accumulated my confidence that I can achieve anything as long as I worked hard enough. As it turned out， this belief has benefited me a lot in my life.

Indeed， it goes without saying that only when we take action can we make possible what we thought to be impossible， thus enabling us to make more progress.

點評 本篇習作對話題的理解準確，圍繞話題展開有條理的敘述，使用了各種短語和句式，以及銜接上下文的過渡詞語。

1. 開篇改造寫作模板中的語句，用一個單句直接進入話題，使用了rather than， be scared by， setback等高級詞匯；

2. 第二句使用了“when+介詞短語”這個狀語從句的省略形式，動名詞短語作主語和“make+復合賓語”的使用使語句的表達十分有力度；

3. 為保證敘述的連貫和行文流暢，作者使用了more importantly作為過渡語，保證了文章的行文連貫和敘述的層次感，并在后面使用了that引導同位語從句，as long as引導狀語從句等。

4. 最后一句用長句結(jié)束全文，將寫作推向一個高潮，使用了寫作模板中的語句“it goes without saying that+主語從句”，when引導狀語從句，倒裝句和現(xiàn)在分詞作狀語，這些都使本文成為一篇值得我們學習的考場佳作。

從近年湖北卷和湖北各地的高考模擬試卷看，話題都是圍繞中學生的身心健康和日常生活來設置的，有些話題選自教材中的名人名言，有些話題來自網(wǎng)絡。一般來說這些話題都與中學生的生活和成長息息相關(guān)，我們都覺得有話可說。那么，如何“有話好好說”，寫出精彩的語句；如何“有話慢慢說”，注重語境的連貫，這就是我們要關(guān)注的重點了。趕緊動筆，寫寫下面這些話題吧。

1. Complaints wont make any difference. Id rather light a candle than complain about the darkness.

2. Telling the truth and making someone cry is better than telling a lie and making someone smile.

3. If we accept the reality of life and do what we would like to do without comparing ourselves with others， life becomes so beautiful.

4. Making money can give you a sense of achievement but only making a difference will give you a sense of fulfillment.
