Practice Makes Perfect

As we all know, practice makes perfect. This is an accumulated experience we inherit from our forefathers, and now it is still widely applied to our daily life. It proves that the more we practice, the more likely we are going to do things perfectly.

A good case in point is the study of English. Take my neighbor, Xiao Wang, as an example. He seldom spends time in learning English. As a result, his English is very poor and he begins to hate English now. On the contrary, I'm very interested in learning English and I spend more than five hours each day on English. So the natural consequence is that I have a good mastery of the language and my interest in it has grown more intense.

A lesson that we can draw from the above examples is obvious. Practice is crucial to our success not only in study, but also in our future work. All in all, practice will make a difference between success and failure. （168 words）

It Pays to Be Honest

Once a child asked such a question: What can I benefit from being "a good child"? Among the many answers he received one ran like this: "A good child" is the most precious gift God gives to you. And the same can be said for being honest. It pays to be honest.

Yes, it's true that dishonesty exists almost everywhere in the society. Consumers often found themselves being blackmailed by those merchants selling shoddy products; and there are students cheating in order to pass the exams or get high marks; moreover, we are not short of examples that many rich professionals evade the taxes by sacrificing the interests of government.

But haven't we seen their results? "A fall into the pit, a gain in customers' wit", which would surely drive those dishonest merchants out of business. Regret of wasting time yet being empty-handed would accompany those dishonest students all their life. On the contrary, we could have all they lost, especially a good reputation and a clear conscience, which are the best qualities of human beings. That's why we say "It Pays to Be Honest".
