近年来英语作文评分标准越来越“去模板化”，所谓模板则是指一些常见的句型罗列。但是，作文真的就不需要模板了吗?当然不是，你所需做的是，参考优秀模板，结合自己平日总结的单词词汇，整理出属于你自己的模板。下面以一位英语大神的作文为例。

  2004年考研英语真题大作文模板：渴望

　　The picture above presents to us a scene that a boy, who is sweating heavily, is dashing toward the finishing line. It seems that he will be the winner of the race, yet the caption below reminds us that he must go on striving because the finishing line is a starting line.

　　The connotation implicit in the picture proposes to tell us that facing the success, we should not abandon ourselves in the joy and excitement, which will be history soon, but to focus on the future for another success. In other words, persistent thirst for more successes is indispensable for us to obtain a series of achievements. On the one hand, the thirst for more successes means a powerful motive force, which could drive us to seek something valuable in our lives. On the other hand, the lack of enough impetus is the cradle of resignation, and it’s difficult to see how a person, who lacks enough impetus, could obtain what he or she wishes in such a fiercely competitive society. Accordingly, what I have stated above could sufficiently testify that the persistent thirst for more successes plays a key role in one’s cause.

　　To exemplify such a relatively abstract principle, let’s take George Best, a famous football player of England, as an example. Best was the best player in 1960s, but the star suddenly fell when he became immersed in his past achievement and prestige and addicted to alcohol. So, we can conclude that persistent thirst is the passport to a perpetual success.
