范文一：
“Where there is a will, there is way” is an old proverb which almost everyone knows, but not all understand it so well. Actually, it means that if you are really resolved to do something, no matter how difficult it might be, never give up.
In fact, strong will is a kind of good quality which successful people should own. A great man is always one who has a firm resolution and an inflexible spirit. One will never succeed all his life without a firm will to get the final victory. As a rule, great tasks are accomplished by men of strong will. For example, Dr. Sun Yatsen, the founder of the Republic of China, set the Chinese people free from the Manchurian rule through a long period of hard struggle. Many of his attempts failed and many of his followers were killed, but he had an inflexible spirit and stuck to his cause. Finally, he made the revolution of 1911 a success. The same is true of men in all walks of life.
It is quite obvious that there is nothing difficult in the world, if you make up your mind to do it, you will certainly accomplish your end. That stands to reason.So as for students like us, we should have a good attitude towards failure. Facing with difficulties and failures, keep heads up and never give up. Besides, we should make full preparation, though strong will help us overcome the difficulties, it is not for person who has no preparation.
范文二：
There is an old saying: where there is a will, there is a way. It tells us that a strong will is the most essential quality that anyone who wants to achieve success. It can contribute a lot to one’s success.
Although“All roads lead to Rome”, none of them is completely smooth. Our life is filled with obstacles which may make us feel so hopeless that we may choose to give up. At the crucial moment, strong will helps a lot. As a matter of fact, the ability to work through difficult situation and unfortunate events with strong will can make one stronger and more capable. In other words, if we want to realize life’s goal, we must keep forging ahead with strong consciousness.
From what has been discussed above, we can see that the establishment of tough determination is of great importance to everyone. With a strong will, including our knowledge, we will be able to deal with any situation in our life. Whatever we do, as long as we stick to and do not give up easily, we will realize the goal at last.

12月的四级作文要求写一篇意志和成功的关系的短文。
首先，这个题目没有任何题材范围上的突破，和大学生的日常生活和成长有关。
第二，这个题目其实很有利于考生的发挥。可以引用名人名言来开篇，也可以引用成功的实例或者自己的经历加以佐证。但是要注意，情绪渲染点到为止，否则，不仅不会打动阅卷老师，反而有不够缜密和结构松散之嫌。
第三，四级作文要求大家应该体现出亮点，体现出英语语言水平，方式很多，比如非常用词替换常用词，特殊句式，从句的使用等等，。就今年12月这个题目而言，可以用一个虚拟语气的句子，“如果…….就（不）……..”。比如在谈曾经的因为有坚强意志而成功的一个例子时，可以用Had I not done sth，I would have这样的句式。
第四，不要聪明反被聪明误，有同学会论述意志力的重要性，然后“辩证地”谈只有意志力也不行等等。这会削弱自己主题的表达，而不是什么“证全面”。

本次四级作文探讨的是最近的一个热点话题一——意志力与成功的关系。随着社会竞争越来越激烈，青年面对的困难也越来越多。“放弃还是坚持”成为我们不得不面对的一个选择。
按照四级作文的要求，考生在第一段时应该总述现象并引出话题。有点考生不知道应该如何展开描述“什么是成功”，其实描述就可以举例，举身边的例子。“成功”不是抽象的，是具体的，你可以说“想成为科学家”“百万富翁”，想成为“超级巨星”。甚至于《失恋33天》的王小仙能忘记劈腿的前男友，这也是一种成功。所以，描述一定要具体，否则就写不下去了。
第二段考生可以从“坚强的意志的重要性”这个角度展开。例如，成功的路上肯定会遇到困难，而克服困难需要坚强的意志。《鸿门宴》看了吗？刘邦从几千人马干掉项羽几十万人马，最后取得成功，这里面就需要坚强的意志。看着自己心爱的女人天天和别人在一起，没有坚强的意志，刘邦童鞋能扛住吗？不可能。这可不是一般人能做到的，不信你试试看，hold不住的。
第三点考生可以下个结论。再次强调坚强意志对于成功的必要性。和文章开头“首尾呼应”。
整篇作文只要考生审好题，列出相应点，相信作文分数会不错。
