Young People Should Have Ideals

To different people, the word "ideal" may mean different things. To some, it may mean success and fame① in their career; to others, a peaceful life. Very often, we have ideals for the "self" and no ideal for society, let alone the people of the world. Is it a sound attitude toward life?

In my opinion, a youth should have ideals. But it is more important that these ideals are not merely② centered on the "self". They should be also the ideals of the majority of people. Then you would get strength and confidence toward life for you are striving for the benefits of your fellowmen.

The setting up of an idea does not merely mean to go without doing anything. Real and concrete③ action should be taken. For us students, the most important thing to do is to study diligently④. We study hard not to become bookworms, but to make us well-equipped and well-prepared for the pursuit⑤ of our ideals. Sometimes, in striving toward our ideals, we may encounter certain difficulties and failures. But we should not give up or lose hope, for as long as we try, there is always a way out.

【注释】

①fame: 名声

②merely: 仅仅, 只

③concrete: 具体的

④diligently: 勤勉地

⑤pursuit: 追求

【简评】

这是一篇根据命题完成的议论文。

文章首段用列举法说明对于不同的人ideal的含义不同。第二段作者首先旗帜鲜明地亮出观点：青年人应当有理想，再稍作引申。尾段，作者用列举法说明确立理想并不意味着无所事事，我们应该采取行动。作为学生，我们应当努力学习，克服困难，实现理想。

全文每个段落都紧密围绕命题展开，有繁有简，详略得当，错落有致，较好地表达了主题。本文语言清新朴实，自然流畅。
