The rules for writing an abstract are almost the same to those for writing the summary of an investigation report. In an abstract you(1)make an outline of the problem and the purpose of your investigation,(2)mention very briefly how you conducted the investigation or tests, (3)describe your main findings, and (4)make the conclusions. All this must be done in as few words as possible: ideally, your abstract will be about 125 words long and never more than 250 words. From the abstract, readers must be able to decide whether the information you provide in the scientific paper or report is particularly interesting to them and whether they should read further. Because a scientific paper is written for readers who generally are familiar with your technical or scientific discipline, you may use technical terminology in the abstract. The abstract should be written last, when the whole paper has been written, so that you can make an abstract of the brief details you need from what you have already written.

一个处处像别人表明自己优秀的，恰恰证明了他（她）并不优秀，或者说缺什么，便炫耀什么。 真正的优秀，并不是指一个人完美无缺，偶像般的光芒四射。而是要真实地活着，真实地爱着。 对生活饱有热情，满足与一些小确幸，也要经得起诱惑，耐得住寂寞，内心始终如孩童般的纯真。 要知道，你走的每一步，都是为了遇见更好的自己，都是为了不辜负所有的好年华。 一个真实的人，一定也是个有担当的。
