Translate the following paragraph into English, using the words and expressions in the box below. Answers for reference: A gold medal is a tribute to the athletic talent, determination and courage of an Olympic champion. Then how do the athletes make themselves fortunate enough to be so highly honored? The champions who have mounted the winners stand can offer an answer based on their own experiences. First, in the course of training, they visualize themselves as champions. Once their dreams of becoming champions take shape, they will cling to them courageously. Whats more, top performers are driven to bring out their best. They discipline themselves and squeeze in every possible minute to practice every day. Despite their relentless efforts, they may sometimes fail to win or narrowly miss a gold medal, yet they believe in themselves and never lose heart. They are ready to take on the most psychologically and technically challenging tasks or competitions. In reality, all champions have experienced lots of hardships on their way to the vital break of their lifetime. So we wont and cant say that a champion is lucky. After all, luck only strikes those prepared to capitalize on it. Theme-related Writing1. Write an essay about your favorite sports team.

There are times when they lose the game, sometimes with embarrassing result like 0:3; there are years when they suffer a lot of injuries and new players do not match up to the veterans, yet, one must admit that the Chinese girls have been practising very hard all the way. Recent years have witnessed a difficult period for the team as Russian, American, Cuban, and Brazilian teams have been rising in ranking and winning championships, but I still have faith in our team and give them my support. I wish them good luck in the coming Olympics. (196 words)2. Write an essay entitled “The Meaning of Winning a Prize”. You may base your writing on what you have learnt from the two texts.
