英语四级作文范文：创造自己的人生

 　　Create Your Own Life

　　Sometimes things happen to you that may seemhorrible, painful, and unfair at first, but uponreflection you find that without overcoming thoseobstacles you never would have realized yourpotential, strength, willpower, or heart.

　　Illness, injury, lost moments of true greatness, andsheer stupidity all occur¹ to test the limits of yoursoul. Without these small tests, whatever they may be, life would be like a smoothly² pavedroad to nowhere. It would be safe and comfortable, but dull and utterly³ pointless.

　　If someone hurts you, betrays⁴ you, or breaks your heart, forgive them, for they have helpedyou learn about trust and the importance of being cautious⁵ to whom you open your heart.

　　Make every day count. Appreciate every moment and take from those moments everythingthat you possibly can for you may never be able to experience it again.
