第十九天：写作模拟练习一
今天我们开始最后冲刺。我每天总结一些写作核心词汇，请认真复习。图画作文的一个重要特点是阐述图画的寓意，一般都是做道德提升。所以，写这类文章首先要熟悉的是表示个性与品质，尤其是表示正面个性与品质的词汇。现总结如下：
美德 virtue
自信 self-confident
有抱负 ambitious; have aspirations; aim high
有上进心 self-motivated; enterprising
有判断力 have good judgment
有分辨力 discerning
有希望 promising
有智慧 intelligent
有毅力 persevering
道德高尚 of high morality
全面的 all-around (development)
爱国的 demonstrate deep love for one’s own country; patriotic
克服困难 overcome difficulties
挑战自我 challenge oneself; push oneself to limits
接受挑战 take challenges; rise to challenges
实现自身价值 achieve self-worth
素质教育 ethics education; character education
助人为乐 helpful
有爱心 caring
有同情心sympathetic
正义感 sense of justice
适应社会 adjust oneslef to a changing society
建设和谐社会 build a harmonious society
八荣八耻 ‘eight honors’ and ‘eight disgraces’
以...为荣（deem it an honor to...）
丑恶现象unseemly scene
不和谐 disharmonious
对于类似上面的词汇，可以借助汉英词典提前准备。这种准备效果极好。
今天的结束语是：Success can be prepared（成功源于准备）。
