作文题目：On Illusion
范文：
Some people are committed to their dreams and work hard to achieve their goals. What is guiding them is a kind of illusion.Some people think that illusion is good for success while others argue that it is not so good because it may get people unrealistic. As far as I am concerned， illusion is necessary in our life only if it is encouraging and realistic.
There are several reasons.First of all， there is power in illusion. The illusion can lead people to the path they want to go on and it gives us passion. We need to live each moment wholeheartedly， with all our senses so that we can find pleasure in the fragrance of backyard garden， the crayoned picture of a six-year-old， and the enchanting beauty of a rainbow. The illusion can be enthusiastic love of life that puts sparkle in our eyes， a lilt in our steps and smoothes the wrinkles from our souls.
Secondly， we are born with wide-eyed， enthusiastic wonder as anyone knows who has ever seen an infant’s delight at the jingle of keys or the scurrying of a beetle. It is this childlike wonder and illusion that gives enthusiastic people such a youthful air， no matter how old they are. For example， the famous cellist Pablo Casals would start his day by playing Bach. Music， for him， was an elixir that made life a never-ending adventure. As author and poet Samuel once wrote， “Years wrinkle the skin， but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.”
Lastly， people with illusions also love what they do， regardless of money or power or title. If we cannot do what we love as a full-time career， we can as do a part-time vocation， like the head of state who paints， the nun who runs marathons and the executive who handcrafts furniture. We cannot afford to waste tears and energy and time on “might-have-beens”. We need to turn the tears into sweat as we go after “what-can-be”.
To sum up， God gives each bird its food， but he does not throw it into its nest. Wherever you want to go， just cherish your precious illusion and let your dream be realized.

Military Training
There is no denying the fact that it has been a hotly debated topic whether students should attend military training in China in the past years. Opinions on this issue differ sharply. Some hold the positive view while others are strongly against it. Personally, I believe it is essential for students to attend military training.
First, to attend military training is a response to the call for a stronger national defense. Though we are in a relatively peaceful age, the danger of wars never really fades. Some Western powers have never given up their attempt to overturn Chinese government and subject China to their manipulation. Therefore, every Chinese should bear in mind his or her duty to guard the nation against invaders. Military training among students is the most direct means to instill such awareness and familiarize young people with life in the troop.
Secondly, military training serves as an effective way to temper young people’s willpower, develop their team-spirit and cultivate their sense of discipline. As a generation brought up in a peaceful and relatively well-off environment, youngsters today suffer a grave lack of willpower. Compared with previous generations, they are more prone to saying die in the face of difficulties or setbacks. Therefore, they can gain much through the trying drills of military training. Besides, the honor of a military group depends on the effort of each member, which calls for supreme team-spirit, which is another quality that many current young people lack as they are self-centered. Plus, perhaps there can be no other settings like the barrack that demands so much sense of discipline. In these senses, military training provides a perfect chance for those high-fed, coddled and even spoiled youngsters to learn life lessons.
Last but not least, military training supplies a chance to build up students’ bodies. Although most youngsters are enjoying a higher standard of living nowadays than their previous generations, their physical conditions are far from desirable.
Those against military training may be worried by the assumption that a sudden increase of intense physical exercise, especially during summer, may do harm to students’ health and they may cite as evidence the deaths of some students during military training in the past years. But I should point out that those deaths are absolutely exceptional cases and are perfect evidence that students need more such training.
To sum up, military training is not only a means to strengthen student’s physique and willpower, but also an effective way to enhance their sense of national defense and foster their patriotism. Though it proves too much for a few students, we should not give up eating for fear of choking. The only thing we need to do is to take measures to ensure that the least harm is done to the trainees.
