University Study and Mountain Climbing

Nowadays some people like to compare university study to mountain climbing-an activity that requires painstaking, persistent efforts and strong will if one expects to make it a success. In my opinion, university study and mountain climbing indeed have some similarities.

Firstly, both university study and mountain climbing require painstaking efforts. A student has many things to learn and will sure encounter lots of difficulties in the road of study; while a mountaineer will also face many difficulties before he or she reaches the peak of a mountain. Secondly, university study and mountain climbing require persistence. A university student should learn to accumulate knowledge for his or her ultimate exam, while a mountaineer should also learn to preserve energy for the ultimate challenge. Thirdly, a sustainable willpower is needed in both university study and mountain climbing. With many difficulties and frustrations around, a student or a mountaineer should face them with strong will.

Generally speaking, mountain climbing is not an easy thing, nor is university study. Though university study and mountain climbing are quite different, they actually have many things in common. Through the above analysis, we could conclude that dreams can only be achieved by painstaking efforts and strong will. (198 words)

结构剖析

文章分为三段

第一段引出论点：学习和登山确实有很多相似之处。

第二段提出三个分论点进行论证：第一个分论点指出学习和登山一样需要付出艰苦的努力;第二个分论点指出大学学习和登山一样需要不断的努力;第三个分论点指出大学学习和登山一样需要坚强的意志做依靠。

最后一段总体概括并强调论点：登山不容易，大学学习也很不容易，但梦想的实现是靠着坚持不懈的努力和强壮的意志达成的。

大学学习和登山

现在有些人喜欢拿大学学习和登山做比较，登山是一种需要下苦功、坚持不懈的努力和坚强的意志才能获得成功的活动。依我看来，大学学习和登山确实有一些相似点。

第一，大学学习和登山都需要勤恳的努力。学生有许多东西要学，而且在学习路上肯定会遇到许多困难;而一个攀登者在他或她到达顶峰之前，也会面临很多困难。第二，大学学习和登山需要坚持不懈。一个大学生应该学习为他(她)的期末考试积累知识，而一个攀登者也应该学会为其最终挑战积蓄能量。第三，大学学习和登山都需要持续的意志力。周边有许多困难和挫折，学生或攀登者应该用坚强的意志来对付它们。

一般说来，登山不是件容易的事情，大学学习也不是。虽然大学学习和登山很不相同，但其实它们在许多方面都有共同点。通过以上分析，我们可以得出结论：只有通过艰辛的努力和坚强的意志，才能实现梦想。
