　　Key to Model Test Four

　　Part IWriting

　　【寫作思路】

　　要求寫一篇關(guān)于競爭的議論文。要求從以下幾個(gè)方面闡述：競爭使人們充滿創(chuàng)造力，使人們更有效率;競爭促使生產(chǎn)出更好的產(chǎn)品和更優(yōu)質(zhì)的服務(wù);競爭促進(jìn)了社會的進(jìn)一步發(fā)展。

　　【參考范文】

　　Competition

　　Competition makes people more creative and effective. It urges them to plan better, to try harder, and to achieve more. With a desire to excel in their work, people tend to perform more creatively and more efficiently.

　　Competition helps produce better products and services. In the present world of intense competition, every manufacture tries his best to outmatch his competitor by producing goods of better quality at lower costs. As a result, consumers pay less and receive better service.

　　Competition promotes further development of society. If there were no competition, people would remain complacent and be unwilling to make any efforts or risk anything new. However, with fierce competition going on, they exert themselves to accomplish more. Their accomplishment will, in one way or another, contribute to the progress of society.
