As is vividly depicted in the picture, two disabled men are running fast through teamwork although each of them has only one leg. Obviously, it is teamwork that makes it possible for them to go anywhere they want to.
Simple as it is, what the picture conveys to us is thought-provoking. With the development of economy and society, competition is increasingly fierce. It is impossible for anyone to finish a work all by himself. Hence, people in mounting numbers put great emphasis on teamwork. In fact, it has been universally acknowledged that the ability of teamwork is the most essential qualification that anyone who wants to achieve success should possess.

We should bear in mind that teamwork is of great significance to both our society and ourselves. Everyone should have the ability of teamwork. Only in this way can we achieve success and only in this way can our society become more harmonious to live in.

The picture below illustrates the real meaning of love, by stressing the fact that love is emotional strength, which can support us no matter how dark the world around us becomes. As a matter of fact, throughout history people of many different cultures have regarded love as the most sublime of human emotions.
As an illustration of the power of love, we should remember how the Chinese people of all nationalities respond to the call to help the victims of the deadly earthquake in Sichuan Province in 2008. Although their incomes are still low by international standards, people all over the country do not hesitate to donate whatever they can——be it money or goods——to help their needy fellow citizens. Furthermore, they do this with no thought of gain for themselves.
It is my view that the best way to show love is to help people who are more unfortunate than we are. Only by doing so can we help to make the world a better place.
下面的圖畫註解了愛的真正含義，它強調了愛心是情感的力量，不論我們周圍的世界多麼黑暗，愛心都能支撐我們。事實上，歷史上處於不同文化中的人們都把愛當作人類最高尚的情感。
舉一個例子證明愛心的力量，我們應該記得2008年中國各族人民如何響應號召去支援四川地震中的受難者。儘管他們的.收入按照國際標準衡量還是處於低水平，但是全國人民毫不猶豫地盡他們所能捐獻——不管是錢，還是物品——去幫助那些受難的同胞們。並且，他們這麼做不考慮自己的得失。
我認為，表示愛心的最好方式是幫助比我們更加不幸的人。這樣，我們能夠助一臂之力把世界變成一個更美好的地方。
