欲速则不达(Haste Makes Waste)英语作文
Joozone's Directions: For this part, you are allowed thirty minutes to write a composition on the topic Haste Makes Waste. You should write at least 120 words and you should base your composition on the outline (given in Chinese) below:

Haste Makes Waste
"Haste makes waste" is all English proverb which is full of logic. This proverb has become a precept whose value is universally accepted. It reminds us that if we are to accomplish anything, we must do it step by step. If we are to achieve our final goal we have to do it in a down to earth way. However, if we attach too much importance to speed, it is very likely that we will have errors. What is worse, if we take too hasty an action, we may result in a complete failure.

A good case in point is the ancient Chinese story of "helping the shoots grow by pulling", which says that a man was worried that the crops in his field might not grow fast enough, so he "helped" them grow by pulling them up a bit. The result is that all the crops died in stead of growing up fast. The man's haste caused him not only waste, but great loss.

There is much we can learn from this ancient Chinese story. Success involves more than speed. We shouldn't expect to achieve something in the shortest time possible. Whatever we do, we must never forget: more haste, less speed.
