　　托福写作素材模板：纳尔逊·曼德拉

　　素材段落

　　While working as a lawyer in his early forties, Nelson Mandela was repeatedly arrested for attempting to overthrow the radically divisive apartheid government that existed in South Africa. Instead of giving up his idea of establishing a nation without institutionalized racism, he secretly joined the South African Communist Party. Mandela successfully mobilized a sabotage campaign which advocated the betterment of the country as well as its people. Due to his tireless efforts, he was arrested again several years later and sentenced to life imprisonment. For the next 27 years, Mandela never stopped campaigning for racial equality, despite the fact that he was incarcerated. Accordingly, people all over the world started to respect him as the most influential anti-apartheid politician and revolutionary of the 20th century.
