考研英语作文1100字：学会自立(Learn to Stand on Your Own Feet)
in every school a "top" crowd sets the pace, while the others follow their lead. lets say the top crowd decides that it is smart to wear bright red sweaters.pretty soon everybody is wearing a bright
red sweater. there is nothing wrong with that, ecept the fact that on some people a bright red sweater is etremely unbecoming. the situation can even become dangerous, if the top crowd decides that it is smart to drink or to drive cars at seventy miles an hour.then the people who follow the lead are endangering their lives. they are like the sheep being led to the butcher.now, chances are that you have come across situations like these more than once in your life; chances are that one time or another you probably did something you knew to be wrong. you may have ecused yourself by saying, "gee, the crowd does it." well, let the crowd do it, but dont do it yourself. learn to say, "no."
develop your own standards and your own judgment. if you know the crowd is planning something you disagree with,have the courage to bow out politely. youll have the satisfaction of standing on your own two feet.
