Knowldg and Confidnc Lad to Succss
“Thr, Two, On, Start”, with th light on, th final tst in th Shanghai ara of th nglish Contst in ast China bgan.
I'm th contstant①“F”. Fortunatly, during th first thr itms, my scors wr lowr only than th first on. But in th last itm----quick rspons②, things changd. I knw that if only I could answr on qustion corrctly, I would hav th chanc to go to Nanjing for th final contst. So no soonr had Miss Zhang, th hostss, givn th qustion “nam thr of th novls writtn by Charls Dickns”, than I prssd th button. Though I know many of th novls writtn by him vry wll, such as Hard Tims, Olivr Twist③, A Tal of Two Citis, Old Curiosity shop④, David Copprfild⑤, I was so nrvous at that tim that I could only rmmbr two of thm. So tn points wr takn away.At last I only got th third priz. But from taking part in th contst, I hav larnd a lot.
Whn I larnd of th holding of th nglish Contst on“nglish Pictorial”⑥ in April, I was so confidnt that I ntrd my nam for it immdiatly. And I managd to pass th“writtn tst”and th“oral tst”,which wr hld in th middl of July. But my nrvousnss rsultd in my failur in th following tst.
|Also I found that succss in an nglish Contst dpnds on not only knowldg of nglish itslf but also knowldg at larg. For xampl, in th last itm thr was such a qustion:“Tll th full nam of Grat Britain and what do popl call hr flag.”Though I know th answr of th first part of th qustion, I did not know th nam of th flag. Now I know it's calld Union Jack⑦.
So, you s, confidnc and knowldg ar two vry important things which lad to succss. Do you think so?

【写法指要】
1)本文是例证法说明文。例证法和列举法同属于举例法(xmplification)。与举例法不同的是,例证法在一篇短文中只举一两个例子,但必须详细剖析。而列举法只把例子举出来,最多再解释一两句。
2)本文用例证法说明了文章的主题:“Confidnc and knowldg ar two vry important things which lad to succss.”三个详例是作者两次参加英语比赛所出的错误:1)由于紧张而没说出狄更斯一部小说的书名;2)由于紧张未通过复试;3)只知其一,不知其二,即说不上来英国国旗的别名。 例证说明:知识和信心是通向成功之路-Knowldg and Confidnc Lad to Succss 英语作文网收集整理
