2015年12月英语四级作文范文:身体是革命的本钱

 　　作文题目：

　　Directions: For this part you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic "Health is vital importance to life". You should write at least 120 words and base your composition on the outline below:

　　1、谈谈你对这句话的理解

　　2、如何保持健康的身体

　　As the saying goes, you don't know what happiness is until you lose it', you don't know what health is until you are ill. "Health is of vital importance to life" sounds like a cliche¹ to everyone, but it is absolutely true.

　　The negligence² of the delicate balance of your body and soul, the harmful habits such as smoking, excessive drinking and burning mid-night oil will catch up with you someday. How many big plans are interrupted by bad health! Even a normal life is unimaginable without the guarantee of health.

　　How to keep fit is an eternal topic of diversity and controversy³. Regardless of all the different suggestions poured from all kinds of sources, one should do at least two things for him/herself. First, hold an active and optimistic attitude toward life and maintain a mental well-being⁴. Second, live a regular life and keep a balanced diet. Anyway, a healthy life is within reach when you begin to adjust your mind and body.
