參考范文
A famous saying goes like this: “Nothing ventured, nothing gained”, which means we can gain nothing if we venture nothing. It shows that the adventurous spirit is an essential quality for people to achieve success. A person who never takes any risk or tries new things will never make any progress. 1
Nowadays, there are more and more adventures like bungee jumping and rock climbing, which enjoy great popularity especially among the youth. 2 Some people argue that such activities are too risky so they never venture to try, while 3 others insist that these activities do more good than harm and should be encouraged. As for me, I agree with the latter. In my opinion 4 , people can develop courage and willpower by embarking on adventures. If a person is afraid of risks or new things, he will never experience the joy of life or make any progress. If the leaders of a country are fearful of taking risks, the country will cease to advance.
In conclusion 5 , adventures bring us many rewarding benefits. As long as we take everything into consideration and make full preparation before taking risks, we can minimize the dangers and maximize the benefits.
有一句名言是這樣說的:“不入虎穴,焉得虎子”,意思是說,沒有冒險就沒有收獲。這表明冒險精神是人們獲得成功的必備品質(zhì)。一個從不敢承擔(dān)風(fēng)險或嘗試新事物的人永遠不會有任何進步。
如今,越來越多的冒險活動尤其受年輕人的歡迎,比如蹦極和攀巖。有些人認為這些活動風(fēng)險太大,因而從不愿意嘗試,而另一些人則堅持認為這種活動利大于弊,應(yīng)該鼓勵。就我而言,我贊同后者。在我看來,人們可以通過參加冒險活動鍛煉勇氣和毅力。一個害怕冒險或嘗試新事物的人永遠體會不到生活的樂趣,也永遠不會取得任何進步。如果一個國家的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人害怕冒險,這個國家也只會止步不前。
總之,冒險活動會帶給我們很多好處。只要我們在每次冒險前有全方位的考量并做好充分準(zhǔn)備,就一定能將危險降至最低,并得到最大收獲。

5. 末段總結(jié)全文,重申觀點,并指出我們應(yīng)對冒險做好充分的準(zhǔn)備。

句法點評
1. Some people argue that such activities are too risky so they never venture to try, while others insist that these activities do more good than harm and should be encouraged.
這是一個復(fù)合句。while在句中作并列連詞用,意思為“而,然而”,表對比,相當(dāng)于but,但含有對比的意思。
2. As long as we take everything into consideration and make full preparation before taking risks, we can minimize the dangers and maximize the benefits.
