2013年12月英语四级作文预测：通向成功的途径

 　　Opportunity and Success

　　1、有人说机会对取得成功起重要作用

　　2、也有人说智慧和勤奋才是通向成功的惟一途径

　　3、我的看法

　　Some deem that opportunity is the key to success. For example, those global business giants like Google owe their success to the huge opportunities they meet. Google's boom benefits from the frenzy¹ of Internet. Another striking example is Zhang Liangying's overnight sensation. Super Girl Voice Contest, a golden opportunity for her, put the spotlight² on her.

　　Others argue that intelligence and diligence outweigh³ opportunity. There is solely⁴ a Google around the planet. The Internet superpower gains from its co-founders' advanced technology and keen insight into the global internet market. Zhang Liangying demonstrated her distinguished⁵ talent and the very wide vocal⁶ range. For this reason, she left an favorable impression with judges and won a host of diehard fans.

　　In my eyes, success is strongly linked with both. The combination of these two factors breeds success. There are enormous opportunities beckoning⁷ us. We must seize them and exert our all-out intelligence and ability.
