专八题目：
On the Importance of Self-discipline
专八范文：
There are many college students who are bad at keeping themselves in line．When they are required to finish some assignments，they will barely bother to do it unless they deem that they may be criticized by theirteachers．Instead，they spend their time playing computer games and watching episodes of TV programs，aswell as chatting with friends on MSN or QQ．They oftentimes procrastinate so terribly that they havedone nothing before they go to bed． Despite the fact that every day they tell themselves that it will be a fresh start，they just succeed in repeating their procrastination．Undoubtedly，these students have not realizedthe importance of self－discipline in their lives．
许多大学生不能够自觉要求自己。当学生要求完成作业时，除非遭到老师的批评，否则他们都不想去做。反之，他们会花费许多的时间来玩游戏，或是看电视剧，或是在MSN或QQ上与朋友聊天。他们经常会拖延，有时在睡觉之前他们发现自己没干什么事情。每天他们都告诉自己今天又是全新的一天，但是，他们只是在拖延。毋庸置疑，这些学生没有意识到自觉的重要性。
Firstly，the world is full of temptations to live an undisciplined life．In today’s society，they livein a world where temptations are almost everywhere．There are a variety of TV programs that tempt them into knowing what have become of the hero and heroine in the last episode． There are various occasions on whichthey find it hard to decline their friends’invitation．Though they make efforts to focus on professors’assignments，they usually surrender themselves to the mercy of entertainment activities and tell themselvesto put the homework later on only to find out that the homework is not finished at last．In consequence，they have no respect for themselves．In fact，they hate themselves for being like this．But whatever they aim for a change， they just fall back into their old ways．This is what their lives will be like if they do not possess self－discipline．
首先，这个多彩的世界诱惑人们过着无序的生活。在当今的社会中，他们生活在充满诱惑的世界中。许多电视剧都会在最后一集才让人们知道谁是英雄。在许多场合，我们很难拒绝朋友的邀请。尽管他们努力关注于老师的作业，通常他们还是会屈服于娱乐活动当中，之后告诉自己作业一会儿做，但是总会发现作业到最后还没有做完。所以，这些学生根本就不尊重自己。事实上，他们痛恨自己。无论他们怎样下定决心谋求改变，他们总会回到原先的老路上来。如果他们没有自觉意识的话，这就是他们的生活。
Secondly，as various interviews given by most of the successful people in the world show，self－disciplineis one of the qualities that help people succeed in their chosen fields． People who have the ability toreject instant gratification in favor of something better，to follow actions by overcoming addictions procrastination and laziness，to resist temptations and distractions，are more likely to attain aims and goals．On the contrary，lack of self－discipline leads to failure to reach goals， even minor ones， and to loss，health， obesity and other troubles．
第二，我们看见过许多关于名人的采访，自觉是这些人在其特定领域成功的关键。那些能够抵抗住一时满足的人，那些能够抵抗住诱惑、拖延、懒惰而继续行动的人，只有那些能够抵抗住诱惑的人才有可能取得他们的目标。相反，缺乏自觉的人将会导致失败。这也会导致他们身体不健康，肥胖，还会招惹麻烦。
In sum，self－discipline is one of the essential qualities that contribute effectively to a man’s progress and development． While the world is teeming with temptations and distractions， one can only succeed bylearning self－discipline．
总结，自觉是人们取得成就的最主要的因素之一。世界充满了诱惑，只有那些自觉的人才能够取得成功。
