[学生习作]

[升格作文]

From the picture I can see a boy trapped by a heavy stone，on which “Laziness” was said.One of the boy's hands is holding a balloon，which has a word “talent”．However，the balloon can't help him fly up because of the heavy stone down below.

The picture really sends a message to us.Even if you are gifted to some degree，you can't just rely on your talent.Talent does some support to your success，but can't guarantee.Working hard is the base to make sure you can reach your goal.

So，you should try hard even if you are quite bright.

参考词汇：农民工(off­farm workers)

【参考范文】

There stands a tall tree in which there is a beautiful house called the city's primary school.Under it，five little birds，on whose backs are written five characters which mean “children of off­farm workers”，are sitting on the ground，with their eyes looking at the house well above.

As we know，a lot of off­farm workers come to cities to earn their living.They try their best to serve the city，but they can't afford the expensive schooling for their children.

I hope there will be enough schools for the off­farm workers' children；this way we can enjoy a better life together.
