例文:
Without accumulating, we can hardly achieve anything. As for me, I have taken lots of measures to accumulate knowledge. First of all, I attentively listened to the teachers, parents, and the others who could provide me with much knowledge, considering that it was one of the most effective ways to enrich myself. In the second place, I used to observe something carefully and took note at the same time so that I would not miss anything important. Last but not least, when having spare time, I chose to read various books and reviewed what I had gained regularly.
In a word, I have learned a lot during the process of accumulating knowledge. Just as an old saying goes, Rome was not built in one day. That is to say, one cannot succeed without persistent accumulation. So I have learned that only by gaining knowledge step by step can we achieve our goal and realize our dream. In the future, I will continue to keep accumulating knowledge and make greater progress.

It’s always challenging to face fear. Here are some ways to help you overcome(克服)it.
Breathing
As we know, breathing can help us relax. If you purposely breathe out longer than you breathe in, your body will calm down. If you start to feel fearful, try this. Take a breath in (to a count of 7 in your mind), and then slowly breathe out (to a count of 11 in your mind). To your surprise, if you do this for a minute or so, you’ll calm down quickly. We call this "7/11 breathing".
Using a different part of your brain
When we feel fearful, it’s harder to think clearly. But if we force ourselves to use the part of thinking brain, this will help to calm us down. The easiest way to do this is with numbers. You can set your own fear from l to 10, 10 being the worst state and 1 being the most relaxed state. When you’re feeling fearful, ask yourself; “Okay, what grade do I get right now? 7 or 5?” Just doing this will reduce fear because it starts the thinking brain. Once I gave a speech to three hundred people and I felt fearful. So I graded myself at 6, and waited for myself to go down to 3 before starting. I took control.
Getting control of your imagination
Imagine seeing yourself in the situation you were scared, but see yourself being calm and things going well. Doing this starts to recondition your mind to more calmly face the coming events which were causing fear.
It seems that overcoming fear is always the first step to finish all you need to do and it will help you devote yourself to what you really want to be and to do. It takes efforts, but it’s worth your try.
