With the advancement of modern society, we could name a large amount of factors that have great impact on us, among which is innovation. Innovation not only helps to facilitate economy but also color our life in all aspects.

There are several cases which can be cited to illustrate that creation is significant in our life. If Steve Jobs hadn’t invented iPhone, we would not have had so much fun and the smart products would not have exerted such a great influence on us; if ofo hadn’t launched such a service as bike-sharing, we would not have lived such a convenient life.

Given the fact that innovation plays such a crucial part in our life, what can we do to cultivate this precious spirit? Measures that should be taken are listed as follows. First and foremost, it is wise for the mass media to advocate the innovation. What is more, it is advisable for parents to teach and guide for their children to know what innovation is. Finally, every one of us should raise the awareness of innovation to provide more “created in China” instead of “made in China”. Though there is still a long way to go, I firmly believe that we could live a better future under our joint efforts.

【译文】

随着现代社会的进步，我们能列举出太多对我们有好影响的因素，其中之一就是创新。创新不仅能促进经济发展，还能在方方面面让我们的生活更多彩。

我们能引用许多例子说明创新在我们的生活中至关重要。倘若史蒂夫·乔布斯没有发明iPhone，那么我们会缺少太多乐趣，智能产品也不会如此大地影响我们的生活；倘若ofo没有推出共享单车服务，我们的生活也不会变得如此方便。

鉴于创新在我们的生活中扮演如此重要的角色，我们应该如何培养这种可贵的精神呢？如下将列出需要采取的措施。首先，大众传播媒体应向公众提倡创新。此外，家长也应教育、引导孩子，让他们知道什么是创新，这种方法是十分明智的。最后，我们每个人都应提升创新意识，提供更多“中国创造”，而非“中国制造”。尽管前路漫漫，我坚信，在我们的共同努力下，我们能有一个更美好的未来。

题目属于提纲情景类作文，要求就“创新”展开讨论。题目明确要求文章内容需包括创新的重要性及为鼓励创新应采取的措施，除此之外，文章还应包括首尾的观点提出和观点总结。按照总分总结构，文章首段提出“创新的重要性”；中段引用史蒂夫•乔布斯发明iPhone和ofo公司推出共享单车的例子论证观点；尾段从媒体、家长和自身三方面给出相应措施，并对全文进行总结。
