2013年6月英语四级考试作文范文一（文都版）
The picture shows us a dialogue between a father and a son. The son told his father， "Dad， I'm a bit worried about disposing of nuclear waste". While his father told him， "If you can empty the dustbin here you can do anything". It reveals the importance of doing small things well before undertaking something big. There is also an old Chinese saying to go with this that a person can't sweep the world before he can sweep his own room.
I agree on the point that it is of great importance for a person to do small things well before undertaking something big. First of all， doing small things well entail the qualities that needed in doing great things such as patience and ability of controlling time. For example， when we sweep our room， we need to manage our time and energy reasonably. Accordingly， if we sweep a bigger room， for example， a classroom with our classmates， we should learn how to cooperate and allot assignments as well. And a big advantage is that we can draw useful lessons from the failure of performing well because they didn't cost a lot.
In another word， though these things seem trivial， they reinforce our manipulative ability and thus our understanding to the world. Therefore， we should not ignore the small things.
