參考範文：
Practice makes perfect. This self-evident proverb means doing something repeatedly is the only way to become very good at it. That is to say, practice makes a difference between an inferior performance and a perfect one.
Learning a foreign language like English is a case in point. You can take in a lot of information about it, such as its pronunciation, vocabulary, sentence structures, grammatical rules, idioms, and usages, but all these tend to quickly escape from your memory. Therefore, you must practise listening, reading, speaking and writing so as to remember them and become fluent in the language.
The truth represented by “practice makes perfect” can also be found in other areas. A skillful tailor is one who has certainly made a large variety of clothes, while a competent surgeon is one who has performed a great number of operations. Engage yourself in performing tasks instead of just learning about them, and you will learn to become a perfect doer.
