There is a piece of old saying "Practice Makes Perfect." Is that true? Of course, it is!

A graduate with master's degree was assigned to my mother's company. Having not got any experience, though, he was placed great hopes on as he was well-educated. However, af-ter some time, people in the company found he couldn't work well even as an accountant. My mother talked about this to me, asking for my comments, and my reply was: "Because he doesn't understand that practice makes perfect!"

It is everyone's great desire to gain more knowledge. The more, the better. But does having more knowledge mean being perfect? I'm afraid not. Knowledge is something we have learnt, while ability is the way we use our knowledge to serve us or to solve some problems. Therefore, 111 say ability is perfect.

Is it true that ability comes together with a newly-born ba-by? No! How can we change our knowledge into ability then? Through practice! Nothing but practice can help us!

All of us are familiar with the story how Wang Xizhi prac-tised his Chinese character handwriting.. All of us cheered for Li Xiaoshuang, an excellent gymnast who won great honor for our motherland. Probably, someone will be wondering: "They're skillful enough, but why did they take so much time and trouble to practise every day!" Because they wanted to be perfect.

In order to achieve a better comprehension, 111 take my own experience as an example. When I began to learn English, I found it really difficult for me to catch the speaker. With great determination, I got down to listening to a large variety of Eng-lish tapes. After practising again and again, I found it no more hard to be a good listener.

Ladies and gentlemen, practice makes perfect is not only my own motto but also a piece of truth. If everyone could have a bet-ter understanding of it, our society would be perfect!
