参考范文
Among all the matches of 2014 FIFA World Cup, the most appealing to me was the one between Argentina and Iran in which Messi scored the goal in stoppage time and put Argentina through to the last 16. 1 I will never forget the day on which a kind of sportsmanship called “Never give up” astounded me. 2
“Never give up” is easier said than done. In any sports events, nearly every sportsman is ever tested to the utmost. However 3 , there is only one gold medal, and people would never know who the winner will be until the last minute. Hence 3 , if they gave up halfway, their chances of tasting victory would be zero forever. That’s why we often hear in sports news that many competitors continue their trainings and contests with their injuries and illnesses. 3 It is the sportsmanship that stimulates them to persist in the end.
As for me—an ordinary person, I have an unshakeable faith in the spirit of perseverance while doing everything that is worth doing. Never give up your dream no matter what difficulties you might encounter on the path to it. 4
在2014国际足联世界杯所有的比赛中，最吸引我的是阿根廷对伊朗的比赛。在那场比赛中，梅西在补时阶段的进球使阿根廷挤进16强。我永远不会忘记那一天，有一种叫做“永不放弃”的体育精神震撼了我。
“永不放弃”说起来容易做起来难。在任何体育赛事中，几乎每个运动员都接受过极限的考验。然而，金牌只有一枚，不到最后一分钟永远不会知道赢家是谁。因此，如果半途而废，就永远没有机会品尝胜利的滋味。这就是为什么从体育新闻中我们经常会听到许多运动员带伤带病坚持训练和参赛的消息。激励着他们坚持到最后的就是体育精神。
至于像我这样的普通人，在做每一件值得去做的事情的时候，都会对坚持不懈的精神怀有一种毫不动摇的信念。无论在通往梦想的道路上会遇到多少困难，请永远不要放弃。

句法点评
1. However, there is only one gold medal, and people would never know who the winner will be until the last minute.
