Pollution of environment these days we often hear that (our living conditions are getting more and more serious because of the destruction of our environment). It is common that (many trees and animals are near extinction, and the all-important food chain has been destroyed.).
Why does such circumstance occur in spite of social protects? For one thing, (the population of the world is increasing so rapidly that the world has been so crowded.). For another, (the overuse of natural resources has influenced the balance of natural ecology). What is more, since (the industrial revolution), it is natural that (a great number of factories have been springing up like mushrooms. The smoke and harmful chemicals released from factories also pollute the environment).
To solve the problem is not easy at all, but is worthing. We should do something such as (planting more trees, equipping cars with pollution-control devices and learning to recycling natural resources )to improve the present situation, and I do believe everything will be better in the future.

Inrecent years, being a village official has become the first choice of manycollege graduates. To this phenomenon, different people have different opinionson it.
Somepeople hold the positive attitude towards it. First, they consider its aneffective way to ease employment pressure in major cities as well as satisfythe need for talent in rural areas. Besides, the government is trying toencourage college students to seek jobs in under-developed regions. Second,college students have a great deal of knowledge which can make contribution tomore people. Last but not least, college students also can broaden their eye inthe countryside as well as improve their adaptability to differentcircumstances, both of which are believed to be beneficial to their future development.
However,others are against it. In their opinion, if college students work as a villageofficial, they cant apply their professional knowledge that they learn in school.Worse still, they cant meet their parents aim that lives a comfortable lifein the major city.
Asfar as Im concerned, I consider working as a village official is worthpromoting. Its feasible that some graduates may employ the job as a spring-boardin order to receive the favorable treatment. With the participation of so manycollege students, we have reasons to believe that it will not take unduly longto realize the blueprint of constructing new village jobs for graduates.

recently, one of the hottest topic arousing general concern is whether college students should deal in stocks.
it is widely accepted that practice with study can bring some positive effects for a student.
however ,others argue that dealing in stocks isnt suitable for college students. but according to me , i firmly hold that its negative effects overweight its benefits for the following reasons.
first, college students have limited spare time and stocks dealing cost their energy and time. by taking health and lacking in related knowldge into account, it is suggested that students should leave stock market.
second, dealing in stocks means bearing great economic risks.if they lose much money in the stocks market, perhaps they cannot adjust their mind and afford the loss hence incurred.it may be deal to serious results.
the last, college students dealing in stocks is likely to make problems for their parents.
from what has been discussed above, we may reasonably come to the conclusion that college students should not deal in stocks.

The next morning when I woke up, oh, my god, I do not feel like doing anything at all, just feel headache. I hated to dream a lot in the sleeping time.

No matter how busy I am, my strong interested in learning English will never stop. I think I‘d better go to bed early tonight, in order to avoid laziness for work tomorrow.
大学英语作文 篇7
When you visit London, one of the first things you will see is Big Ben, the famous clock which can be heard all over the world on the B.B.C. If the Houses of Parliament had not been burned down in 1834, the great clock would never have been erected. Big Ben takes its name from Sir Benjamin Hall who was responsible for the making of the clock when the new Houses of Parliament were being built. It is not only of immense size, but is extremely accurate as well. Officials from Greenwich Observatory have the clock checked twice a day. On the B.B.C. you can hear the clock when it is actually striking because microphones are connected to the clock tower. Big Ben has rarely gone wrong. Once, however, it failed to give the correct time.
A painter who had been working on the tower hung a pot of paint on one of the hands and slowed it down!

Thanks to burgeoning technology,the past decades have witnessed the thriving of clone technology.And its application into human has made clone reach an unprecedented peak.This marvel gives rise to much concern among scientific community.However,whether human cloning should be advocated has aroused heat argument.As far as I am concerned,the merits of human cloning outweigh its demerits. On one hand,it’s safe to say that even the best clone technology has the possibility of failure,and this truth is also publicly known by scientific researchers.Therefore,human cloning is the indulgence of this possibility.Once it fails,it will do harm to cloned men.From animal cloning experiments,the survival rate of the cloned species is very low.Unfortunately,these cloned species that have survived often have more or less some physical problems.Nowadays,many researchers have begun to clone a human being,which leads to the birth of disabled infants because of the failure of human cloning experiments.These crude phenomena leave us with a chill.They are the evidence of the crime resulting from human cloning and the trample on human life.In order to succeed,those crazy scientists cruelly kill the lives of many cloned men,which is no doubt crimes rather than researches.Do any rational persons will support a research at the cost of killing people?What is worse,result of this research will bring people with terrible disasters.This research is a kind of technological progress that will make man liable to extinction. On the other hand,even if the cloning human experiments will succeed,it will also make chaos on civil legal relationship.It’s clear that cloned men have no guardians.As is known to all,nature persons all have guardians.Who are the parents of the cloned men?In fact,cloned men can’t find their parents no matter through which experiment.They are only research results of researchers.It would be irresponsible to clone a human being,for they will become orphans thoroughly after they are born.On that circumstance,will those crazy scientists undertake the responsibility of fostering these cloned men?Perhaps no one will believe.It’s incredible to imagine that one will live a happy life that has both physical problems and lower social standing.Who will be willing to educate them?Cloned men are just victims and experimental games. Technology is a double-edged sword.Used properly,it will be advantageous to the whole society.Used improperly,it will have great negative effects.On balance I hold on the stance that the scourge of human cloning is tremendous.To sum up,this technology should be restricted and the government should take effective measures to do with it.
大学英语作文 篇9
The Most Important Day in My Life
Have you ever been at sea in a dense fog when it seemed as if a tangible white darkness shut you in, and the great ship, tense and anxious, groped her way toward the shore? I was like that ship before my education began, only I had no way of knowing how near the harbor was.
The most important day I remember in all my life is the one on which my teacher, Anne Mansfield Sullivan, came to me. I am filled with wonder when I consider the immeasurable contrast between the two lives which it connects. It was the third of March, 1887, three months before I was seven years old.
On the afternoon of that exciting day, I guessed vaguely from my mother’s signs and from the hurrying to and fro in the house that something unusual was about to happen, so I went to the door and waited on the steps.
I felt approaching footsteps. I thought it was my mother and stretched out my hand. Someone took it, and then I was caught up and held close in the arms of the person who had come to reveal all things to me, and, more important than that, to love me.
The morning after my teacher came she led me into her room and gave me a doll. When I had played with it a little while, Miss Sullivan slowly spelled into my hand the word “d-o-l-l”. I was at once interested in this finger play and tried to imitate it. When I finally succeeded in making the letters correctly I was filled with childish pleasure and pride. Running downstairs to my mother I held up my hand and made the letters for doll. I did not know that I was spelling a word or even that words existed; I simply made my fingers go in monkey-like imitation. In the days that followed I learned to spell in this uncomprehending way many words, among them, “pin”, “hat”, “cup”, and a few verbs like “sit”, “stand” and “walk”, but my teacher had been with me several weeks before I understood that everything has a name.
One day while I was playing with my new doll, Miss Sullivan gave me my old doll, too. She then spelled “d-o-l-l” and tried to make me understand that “d-o-l-l” applied to both. Earlier in the day, we had a struggle over the two words “m-u-g” is “mug” and “w-a-t-e-r” is “water” , but I persisted in mixing up the two. I became impatient and, seizing the new doll, I dashed it on the floor, breaking it into pieces. I was not sorry after my fit of temper. In the dark, still world, I had no strong sentiment for anything.
My teacher brought me my hat, and I knew we were going out into the warm sunshine. We walked down the path to the well-house. Someone was drawing water, and my teacher placed my hand under the spout. As the cool stream gushed over one hand, she spelled into the other word water, first slowly, then rapidly. I stood still; my whole attention was fixed upon the movements of her finger. Suddenly I seemed to remember something I had forgotten - a thrill of returning thought – and the mystery of language was revealed to me. I knew then that the “w-a-t-e-r” meant that wonderful cool something that was flowing over my hand. That living word awakened my soul and set it free.
I left the well-house eager to learn. Everything had a name and each name gave birth to a new thought. As we returned to the house, every object which I touched seemed to be full of life. That was because I saw everything with a strange, new sight that had come to me. On entering the door I remembered the doll I had broken. I felt my way to the fragments and tried in vain to put them together. Then my eyes were filled with tears, for I realized what I had done, and for the first time I felt sorry.
I learned a lot of new words that day. It would have been difficult to find a happier child than me when I lay in my small bed that night and thought of the joys that day had brought to me, and for the first time I longed for a new day to come.

Dear Jenny,
How is your survey on mobile payment going? I’m glad I can help with it.
It is generally believed that China is the largest mobile payment market. Nowhere else is the cashless trend more obvious than in China. Most of us are used to paying by scanning QR codes whatever we buy-books, clothes, and electronic devices, to name a few, which is a glimpse into the life of most Chinese like me and my family.
With the widespread use of mobile payment, Wechat or Alipay is the most convenient and safest way to pay. We rarely need to carry a wallet or cash at all. Besides, never will we worry about getting fake notes or having to count change. In short, mobile payment has greatly changed peoples life in China.
Personally, I think mobile payment should be encouraged. First, it has won over consumers with its convenience. Another advantage is that there are often discounts if you make mobile payment, as major online payment platforms are competing to have more consumers use their service.
I hope my explanation can be of some help to you. Wish you good luck.
Yours faithfully,
Li Hua

Different people have different ambitions. When children study at school, they already have their own ideals. Stone want to be engineers or doctors in the future. Others want to be artists or businessmen. Still others want to be teachers or lawyers. But few want to be farmers.
Unlike most people, I choose to be a farmer in the future and make contributions to development of agriculture. Agriculture is essential to the national economy and the peoples livelihood. Without it there wont be grains on which people survive. Nevertheless, farmers are ignored, even looked down upon by urban people. I determine to challenge the traditional idea and contribute to changing this situation.
However, lt is not easy to he a modern farmer in the 21st century. A modern farmer must be equipped with a variety of knowledge such as chemlstry, biology and meteorology. Therefore, I must study conscientiously from now on so that I can get the chance to study as a postgraduate in an agricultural university.
I believe only a man with scientific knowledge can meet the challenge of the 21st century and assume the task of modernizing agriculture.

The university opening ceremonythe deeply impressing feelings are as much a part of me now as they were a year ago.
As the day to register and become a freshman in FDU approached,excitementincreased.Beingauniversitystudent meant I was finally coming of age. Soon I would be on my own,making my own decisions and doing what I wanted without someone looking over my shoulder.
Despite months of anticipation, nothing could have prepared me for the impact of the actual day.Among thousands of new comers sitting on the broad lawn in front of the famous XiangHui Auditorium, listening to the speeches by the principal and student representatives, I felt myself consumed by a rush of both joy and nervousness. What would college be like? Would the other students like me? And what about the workwould I be able to keep up? Being a student in high school seemed to offer little assurance of my being able to survive college, especially in FDU which is abundant of excellent counterparts. Panic set in.It had been nice being respected as a senior by the underclass students for the past year;I didn＇t quite enjoy the idea of being on the bottom rung of the ladder again.I was not assured whether I wanted to grow up after all.
As if in a daze, I rose up with my new classmates around to show respect to the school song which was to be performed. As the solemn music flowed, I knew that I was hearing not just a song but the foot step of a brand new life. Exciting as the prospeet of a new life seemed, it wasn＇t quite easy saying goodbye to the old onethe familiar faces, the familiar routine. I would eyen miss those days when fully engaged in preparing for the college entrance exams though they were so tiring and the long commute between home and school that took me several hours each week. Good or bad, it was that I knew.
This September, I was one of the volunteers to welcome the new comers and guide them around the campus. I found the familiar mixed feelings shown on their faces. I needn＇t have worried about if I would like FDU, since my year here has turned out to be one of the best years of my life. Although going back to those days is impossible, it＇s comforting to know I can revisit my special memories any time.

Everyone has goals. Many people do not reach their goals for lack of planning. These three sets of goals should be developed: lifetime, intermediate and short term. Lifetime goals should be written out. These goals should be clear and reasonable. For instance, the goal to win a research prize is clear and measurable. Other lifetime goals might include publishing a certain number of influential books or articles, earning a departmental chairmanship at a major university, successfully competing for a grant from the National Science Foundation or securing a consultantship with a big corporation.
Intermediate goals relate to outcomes during the next few years. For the beginning doctoral student, intermediate goals may include completion of course work and preparation of a doctoral research proposal. Like lifetime goals, these are measurable and clearly stated.
Short-term goals involve outcomes expected during the next 12 months. These goals are more performance oriented, and they help with achievement of intermediate goals. Examples of short-term goals are earning an A in a course, learning how to program a computer or performing an experiment.

men fear death, as children fear to go in the dark; and as that natural fear in children, is increased with tales, so is the other. certainly, the contemplation of death, as the wages of sin, and passage to another world, is holy and religious; but the fear of it, as a tribute due unto nature, is weak. yet in religious meditations, there is sometimes miture of vanity, and of superstition. you shall read, in some of the friars鈥?books of mortification, that a man should think with himself, what the pain is, if he have but his finger鈥檚 end pressed, or tortured, and thereby imagine, what the pains of death are, when the whole body is corrupted, and dissolved; when many times death passeth, with less pain than the torture of a limb; for the most vital parts, are not the quickest of sense. and by him that spake only as a philosopher, and natural man, it was well said, pompa mortis magis terret, quam mors ipsa. groans, and convulsions, and a discolored face, and friends weeping, and blacks, and obsequies, and the like, show death terrible.
it is worthy the observing, that there is no passion in the mind of man, so weak, but it mates, and masters, the fear of death; and therefore, death is no such terrible enemy, when a man hath so many attendants about him, that can win the combat of him. revenge triumphs over death; love slights it; honor aspireth to it; grief flieth to it; fear preoccupateth it; nay, we read, after otho the emperor had slain himself, pity (which is the tenderest of affections) provoked many to die, out of mere compassion to their sovereign, and as the truest sort of followers. nay, seneca adds niceness and satiety: cogita quamdiu eadem feceris; mori velle, non tantum fortis aut miser, sed etiam fastidiosus potest. a man would die, though he were neither valiant, nor miserable, only upon a weariness to do the same thing so oft, over and over. it is no less worthy, to observe, how little alteration in good spirits, the approaches of death make; for they appear to be the same men, till the last instant. augustus caesar died in a compliment; livia, conjugii nostri memor, vive et vale. tiberius in dissimulation; as tacitus saith of him, jam tiberium vires et corpus, non dissimulatio, deserebant. vespasian in a jest, sitting upon the stool; ut puto deus fio. galba with a sentence; feri, si e re sit populi romani; holding forth his neck. septimius severus in despatch; adeste si quid mihi restat agendum. and the like. certainly the stoics bestowed too much cost upon death, and by their great preparations, made it appear more fearful. better saith he qui finem vitae etremum inter munera ponat naturae.
it is as natural to die, as to be born; and to a little infant, perhaps, the one is as painful, as the other. he that dies in an earnest pursuit, is like one that is wounded in hot blood; who, for the time, scarce feels the hurt; and therefore a mind fied, and bent upon somewhat that is good, doth avert the dolors of death. but, above all, believe it, the sweetest canticle is, nunc dimittis; when a man hath obtained worthy ends, and epectations. death hath this also; that it openeth the gate to good fame, and etinguisheth envy. tinctus amabitur idem.

is it still blooming in your memory?
gentle sunshine penetrating through the window, i slothfully got up, turning on the radio as usual for the latest news. all at once, the breathtaking report shocked me. hardly could i believe that just over one night, princess diana left us the charming englands rose faded.
born in an average family, little diana, enjoyed a quite smooth and pleasant childhood. with her pure heart, she naively learnt to perceive the world as a vivid watercolor of broad golden fields, various lively creatures and vigorous attractive nature.her fetching eyes, the window of her soul, were an uncontaminated farm. they always were. hence, sophisticated as the society was, she never lost her enthusiasm for life. despite the ups and downs in later life, she remained passionate towards all.
god seems to like playing jokes on her. dianas life was almost a drama play. she attended a university in london,where she met her future husband, prince charles. a common place girl from the countryside and the prince of great britain were not seen as a perfect match. so the royal family did not give their approval of the marriage at first. however, as a result of their persistent efforts, the royalty finally compromised.their wedding ceremony was live broadcast on television throughout the world. in a gorgeous wedding dress, diana held a bunch of white roses, wearing a graceful and fascinating smile.her distinguished appearance, associated with the blooming roses, conquered everyone.
but it was pretty hard to evaluate whether it was lucky or not for diana to win the royaltys approval of her marriage, for it at last ended up in divorce. the widening gap between the princess and an ordinary girl caused increasing conflicts. once living in poverty, diana was full of sympathy for those who suffered starvation and diseases. despite the strong opposition of the royalty, she insisted on touring to africa and other under privileged areas with her sincere love and concern. furthermore,diana almost gave all of her fortune to set up plenty of funds to aid the suffering. when kissing the skinny little black african boy, diana once again impressed us by her childlike and a little bit stunning smile. her blonde hair was hopping on her effeminate shoulders; her bluish green eyes were outpouring compassion. diana won the name of englands rose by her noble personality more than her graceful appearance. she surely was!
as the princess or as an ordinary citizen, diana felt it her responsibility to help those who needed her support. after terminating her unsuccessful marriage, she continued her career of beneficence. not only did she leave her footprints all over the world, but she rooted the name of englands rose into everyones heart as well. her genuine smile in the barren desert gave rose a new meaning. where there was love, there was true beauty.
even after divorce, diana was still the focus of the mass media. journalists traced her by all means, trying to get every detail of her private life. diana paid no attention to them but maintained her own way of living. but the reporters followed her closer and closer, which eventually caused the terrible crash and the sudden death of our respectable diana. princess diana, the rose of england, left us at the age of only 36.
dianas good friend, eminent singer, alton john wrote a song the candle in the wind in her memory. the song makes many people shed tears. death is not the end of her life. the funds diana set up are still in operation. her permanent smile will never be gone. the beautiful englands rose will always be blooming in our hearts as time goes by.
大学英语作文 篇16
there are many arguments about the advantages and disadvantages of eamination.some people think eamination is the only best way to test how eaminees have mastered what they have studied and it is the only measurement for eaminers to select which persons they need.while, on the other hand,some object that eamination cant measure how the students have really studied.they say it can do nothing but burden the students.
as for me,i think for both eaminers and eaminees,the eamination can show what and how much the eaminees have mastered.the results of eaminations are just like mirrors for both eaminers and eaminees.
through eamination the eaminees can check their work and get aware of which aspects they have not done well,so that theyll make much improvement in their work.as far as eaminees are concerned,they can not only know how they have studied but also find out what they still unknown or what they havent mastered well.thus,they will be inspired to greater efforts to improve their studying method so as to make greater progress.of course too many eaminations are burbens to both eaminers and eaminees.
in sum,the eamination does more good than harm for both eaminers and eaminees.we must take a correct attitude towards eamination.we should take full advantage of it and avoid its disadvantage.
大学英语作文 篇17
the bustle of the hospital was a welcome distraction as i opened my new patients chart and headed for her room. my son, eric, had just brought home a disappointing report card, and my daughter, shannon, and i had argued again about her getting a drivers license. for the net eight hours i wanted to throw myself into helping people who i knew had much more to worry about than i did.
rebekah was only 32, admitted for chemotherapy after breast-cancer surgery, when i entered her room it took me a moment to spot her amid the bouncing forms of three giggling little girls.
i told rebekah i would be her nurse and she introduced her husband, warren; si-year-old ruthie; four-year-old hannah; and two-year-old molly. warren coaed the girls away from their mother with a promise of ice cream and assured rebekah they would return the net day.
as i rubbed alcohol on her arm to prepare it for the intravenous line, rebekah laughed nervously. i have to tell you im terrified of needles. itll be over before you know it, i said. ill give you a count of three.
rebekah shut her eyes tightly and murmured a prayer until it was over. then she smiled and squeezed my hand. before you go, could you get my bible from the table? i handed her the worn book. do you have a favorite bible verse? she asked. jesus wept. john 11: 35. such a sad one, she said. why?
it makes me feel closer to jesus, knowing he also eperienced human sorrow.
rebekah nodded thoughtfully and started flipping through her bible as i shut the door quietly behind me.
during the following months i watched rebekah struggle with the ravages of chemotherapy. her hospital stays became frequent and she worried about her children. meanwhile i continued to contend with raising my own kids. they always seemed either out or holed up in their rooms. i missed the days when they were as attached to me as rebekahs little girls were to her.
for a time it had seemed rebekahs chemotherapy was working. then doctors discovered another malignant lump. two months later, a chest -ray revealed the cancer had spread to her lungs. it was terminal. help me to help her through this, i prayed.
one day when i entered her room, i found her talking into a tape recorder. she picked up a yellow legal pad and held it out to me. im making a tape for my daughters, she said.
i read the list on her pad: starting school, confirmation, turning 16, first date, graduation. while i worried how to help her deal with death, she was planning for her childrens future.
she usually waited until the early hours of the morning to record the tapes so she could be free from interruptions. she filled them with family stories and advice?trying to cram a lifetime of love into a few precious hours. finally, every item in her notes had been checked off and she entrusted the tapes to her husband.
i often wondered what i would say in her place. my kids joked that i was like an fbi agent, with my constant questions about where theyd been and who theyd been with. where, i thought, are my words of encouragement and love?
it was three oclock one afternoon when i got an urgent call from the hospital. rebekah wanted me to come immediately with a blank tape. what topic has she forgotten? i wondered.
she was flushed and breathing hard when i entered her room. i slipped the tape into the recorder and held the microphone to her lips. ruthie, hannah, molly?this is the most important tape. she held my hand and closed her eyes. someday your daddy will bring home a new mommy. please make her feel special. show her how to take care of you. ruthie, honey, help her get your brownie uniform ready each tuesday. hannah, tell her you dont want meat sauce on your spaghetti. she wont know you like it separate. molly, dont get mad if theres no apple juice. drink something else. its okay to be sad, sweeties. jesus cried too. he knows about sadness and will help you to be happy again. remember, ill always love you.
i shut off the recorder and rebekah sighed deeply. thank you, nan, she said with a weak smile. youll give this one to them, wont you? she murmured as she slid into sleep.
a time would come when the tape would be played for rebekahs children, but right then, after i smoothed rebekahs blanket, i got in my car and hurried home. i thought of how my shannon also liked her sauce on the side and suddenly that quirk, which had annoyed me so many times, seemed to make her so much more precious. that night the kids didnt go out; they sat with me long after the spaghetti sauce had dried onto the dishes. and we talked ? without interrogations, without complaints?late into the night.

parks are my favorite places to go. bathed in the warm and gentle sunshine, i lie on the lawn, holding a poetry book in my hand to read. occasionally, my attention is drawn away from the book to the scene around me, which is unique in spring.thought therere birds singing, grass swinging, and flowers smiling, one sharp white figure is gradually taking up my whole view. its a girl, dressed in a white gown, walking slowly to wards me. breeze brushes my face, and carries the aroma from the girl.
she is strolling down the path while her figure is rising and falling so smoothly and peacefully. the rhythm of her move ments composes an elaborate melody. her soft hair flows down to her waist, on which the sunshine casts a light of ring. the gown outlines her pretty curves. her skin looks so delicate that it, im sure, must feel as smooth as silk.
now she is in my reach, only a foot from me. my heart beating in ecitement, i swiftly jump up, and bow a little just in the way gentlemen do, motioning a greeting to her. as a response, she turns around and gives me a smile, which reveals her gentleness a desirable character, not judged by appearance but fully perceived by what you find in her eyes. she continues walking and soon is out of sight, but im still there, realizing that there is really something left inscribed in my heart.

Coal is so commonly used in life that we seldom notice it. We burn coal everyday to heat food and water. The first locomative was driven by burning coal. In winter we feel a special need for coal. The coal gives us fire, light, heat and warmth. Industry cannot operate withoutcml, therefore,mai i9 called the food lot industry.
Coal is not so treasured as gold. Gold is made into shining ornaments for the necks of heroes and heroines. Coal is shining in its own way. It burns silently for the benefit of all. In a sense it is black gold.
Coal underwent great changes before it became the bright, brittle, black substance which we now use. During ancient times, when the earth enjoyed a very warm and moist climate, the land was covered with large forests and big plants. As time went on, the ground changed and began to sink. These enormous quantities oftrees and vegetable matter were covered by a deposit of sand and clay. This layer of sand and clay pressed upon the layer beneath and prevented the contact with air. These trees and plants succummed to the pressure and changed their appearance.
Generation after generation, as the ground kept gradually sinking, another layer of sand and clay was deposited above the layers already formed. A great pressure was thus exerted and the peat was changed into the black and brittle substance which is known as coal.
From the formation of coal, I see that the coal bas the same character as the pine trees in winter. The pines remain green when they are covered with snow. The coal remains of service to mankind after being burted underground for years and years.

Going through my past, I could see my perseverance was not inherited from my parents whom obviously different from me on this point, and I remember when I was young I never put my heart into one thing for a long time, today did this, tomorrow that, can’t have got one thing satisfied, so I was the useless one in the other’s eyes.
When I was in high school, I was appointed as the leader of sports in our class. In fact, I did not know why I would be a leader of sports since I did not have sports strength. At the first year our school held an annual sports meeting, I joined it, actually I did not want to, but no choice, because I was a leader, and I chose the 3000m racing. Unfortunately, I won the last one, oh, my god, my face lost up, so sorry I felt. After that I made a resolution to practice it, every morning at 5 o’clock, I got up to run, just like this did it every day, no matter raining or snowing, I never gave it up. No pain no gain! This saying was totally right. I won the three successive championships of 3000m racing at our school sports meeting. I was so proud of myself. And more importantly, seeing it now is that my character had been changed, but that time I did not realize it, just did I knew when I chose something I would struggle to perform it till it was accomplished.
Now I chose to improve English, I never worry about the result, I just knew learning a language need a long time, so I do it everyday, and even I would have left GLV.
