Good　Health
Good health is very important to everyone. With it, we can study hard, we can serve our country, we can do everything as we like. Without good health, everybody knows that we will fail to do things. We can’t work efficiently, we may stay in hospital, we?ll become a burden of our family.

In my opinion, there are two ways for us to keep fit. First, we must eat a balanced diet. That is to say, we must eat not only eggs, fish and meat, but also some vegetables and fruit everyday. Besides eating properly, drinking clean water is also important. Never get addicted to drinking the soft drink.Second, exercising is a vital part of our daily life. We can do some running in the morning and play football in the afternoon.

As a university student, I pay much attention to physical exercises. I do some swimming in summer and some skating in winter. I often play badminton and tennis. I am also careful with my diet. In a way, keeping healthy is not very hard if you just take it seriously.
文章開(kāi)門(mén)見(jiàn)山就點(diǎn)出了主題：Good health is very important to everyone。然后作者很巧妙地用了with 和without這兩個(gè)介詞從正反兩個(gè)方面舉出了具體的事例來(lái)支持自己的觀點(diǎn)。另外，with和without這兩個(gè)詞常用于議論文中，用“正證法”和“反證法”來(lái)對(duì)各論點(diǎn)或觀點(diǎn)進(jìn)行論述。第二段的開(kāi)頭句緊扣提綱，概括地提出保持健康有兩種方法，并且通過(guò)first, second這樣的指示詞,使所列舉的事實(shí)條理化。最后一段告訴讀者自己的做法，也緊扣了提綱。

Competition
Competition makes people active and creative. It is very necessary to compete if human society wants to advance. Without it, we would become lazy and nobody would take any responsibility.“Three monks,there will be no drinking water.”This Chinese proverb vividly describes why China?s productivity was so low before Mr. Deng came into power. At that time, we had the so?called planned economy. There was no competition at all. So farmers didn?t work hard. Workers didn?t work hard. China was on the edge of collapse.

Competition can stimulate people to try their best to do things. For example, in 100?meter race, each sportsman runs as quickly as possible, trying to win the champion, the same things happen in our society and in our daily life. If a company wants to surpass, it must compete with them. It must raise its efficiency. All the companies doing this will no doubt benefit the whole society and the whole human beings.Being a student, I must compete with other students in our studies. I must study hard in all the fields so that I can be a useful man when I enter the society after graduation.
文章一開(kāi)頭就提出了競(jìng)爭(zhēng)的重要性。接下來(lái)，作者用了兩個(gè)事例更進(jìn)一步說(shuō)明了主題。最后談到了自己的做法。

Losing and Gaining weight
The process of gaining or losing weight can be explained by comparing your car. First, your car can’t run if there is no petrol or diesel oil. Because it needs energy. The same thing happens to your body. Your body also needs energy, the food you eat can be converted into energy,with which you can run, you can talk, you can do everything. Second, if you eat too much you will gain weight. We know a car with too heavy load can?t run quickly and safely. Maybe it will break down. For the same reason, if you are too fat, it is also very inconvenient and dangerous. You might get heart disease,diabetes, and hypertension and so on. If such things happen, doctor would ask you to lose weight.

You eat too much and you don?t take exercise, you?ll gain weight. So if you want to lose weight you have to do the opposite. You will be on a diet. You will go out and do some exercises, such as, running, swimming, and playing football,etc. Soon, you?ll be back in good condition and good shape again.

As far as I am concerned, I get up and go to bed early, do plenty of exercises everyday, and pay special attention to the food I eat as well. I don?t eat too much meat. Instead, my diet consists of vegetables, fruits, eggs, fish, and beans. By doing this I can keep fit.

作者在這篇文章中先用比較對(duì)比法比較了人與車(chē)之間的相似之處：車(chē)需要汽油，人需要食物；車(chē)載的重物過(guò)多跑不快，人長(zhǎng)得太胖既行動(dòng)不便也存有隱患，因而過(guò)于肥胖 的人就需要減肥。第一段的最后一句話(huà)起了承上啟下的作用。接下來(lái)作者談了如何減肥，最后很自然地過(guò)渡到作者自己的做法。
