How do you spend your off hours? Do you watch television? Do you surf
the web? Read articles here at Lifehack.org? There are many ways you
can spend your leisure time. But is it really possible to get more out
of your time off? Not just making this time more productive, but
actually making it more enjoyable.
Breaking the Work/Play Distinction
I
believe the answer goes against what many of us he been taught about
how to spend our free time. From early childhood we’ve been taught to
divide everything to do into two groups, work and leisure. Work consists
of all the things we need to do and leisure is everything else.
Splitting
the world this way isn’t necessarily wrong. But the sule message
contained in this split is that work and leisure shouldn’t resemble each
other. Your work needs to be productive, efficient and challenging.
Therefore leisure should be relaxing, accomplish nothing and be free of
pressures.
Why This Kills Your Free Time
The problem is this
assumption, that work should be the opposite of leisure, ruins your
free time. The belief that the most enjoyable moments of life are spent
relaxing in the fruits of our labor doesn’t match the real world.
Research has shown that the most enjoyable moments of our life are the
ones where we are most engaged.
Psychology researcher Mihaly
Csikszentmihalyi recorded this phenomenon. He did this through a device
that pinged at random points in time. The subject then filled out a form
based on their feelings, thoughts and current activity. What he found
was people he more enjoyable experiences from work than from their
time off. He mentions this paradox in his book, Flow:
“Thus we
he the paradoxical situation: On the job people feel skillful and
challenged, and therefore feel more hy, strong, creative and
satisfied. In their free time people feel that there is generally not
much to do and their skills are not being used, and therefore tend to
feel more sad, weak dull and dissatisfied. Yet they would like to work
less and spend more time in leisure.” [emphasis mine]
I believe
the dissatisfaction for work stems from the external need to work. Since
we cannot exercise freedom in choosing to show up every morning, it is
easy to begrudge the time there. Even if it produces positive
experiences in our lives.
The Answer Isn’t Becoming a Workaholic
I
don’t believe the resolution of this problem, is to work all the time. I
think that would only exacerbate a situation where people feel tred
by oppressive work schedules. Even if jobs can produce，challenging flow
experiences, putting all your eggs into one basket can be risky.
Instead, Fill Your Spare Time With Active Leisure
Active
leisure is free activities you choose that challenge and fulfill you.
But because you take up these tasks through internal desires, not
external constraints, you won’t feel tred by them.
Many people
he found ways to incorporate active leisure into their lives. Taking
up hobbies, sports and learning new skills even when time is limited.
But as the standard forty hour workweek gets pushed longer and passive
entertainment becomes easier to consume, it is harder to take up active
leisure.
Leisure is Hard Work
Upgrading your leisure time to
make it more enjoyable isn’t always easy. This may sound backwards,
since many people believe the purpose of leisure is to be easy. But
sometimes the benefits of being active in your time off aren’t
immediately arent.
Activity requires that you invest your
attention. The body was designed to be efficient, not enjoyable, so it
may resist your attempts to invest energy in anything non-essential.
How to Start the Active Leisure Habit
There
are many ways you can upgrade your leisure time, but it requires
effort. Unlike watching television or relaxing, opportunities for flow
need to be structured in advance. It can sometimes require planning and
always requires an initial push of momentum to get started.
I
suggest an experiment. Try replacing some low-energy task with a more
engaging one. Continue it for a month. After that month, if you don’t
feel the new task is more satisfying than your old usage of time, quit.
This is about enjoyment, not productivity, so you don’t need to feel
guilty if you decide to switch back later.
Suggestions for Active Leisure
Here are a couple ideas to get the ball rolling:
1.
Join Toastmasters -At toastmasters.org you can find clubs near your
location. There are thousands of them and they are a great experience.
I’ve known many people who tell me Toastmasters is the highlight of
their week.
2. Start a Craft -Try learning a new hobby or
restarting an old one. Painting, woodworking, sculpting, programming or
blogging are all great starts. Buy a tutorial book to get you started
and learn from there.
3. Play Sports -Find a physical activity
that will get you to move and provides a challenging environment. Not
only will this keep you healthy, but it will put your mind into a state
of flow more easily than sitting on the couch.
4. Learn a New
Language -Challenge yourself to learn a new language. This has always
been a goal of mine. I’ve heard from many sources that it can be both
challenging an enjoyable to gain fluency in a non-native tongue.
5.
Play a Game -Computer games and interactive entertainment can be great
ways to produce flow. Although you can get addicted to the enjoyable
environment, structuring a small amount of time to play games can engage
you mind to he fun.
6. Start a Project -One of my personal
forites is to get a new project going. Starting a project to complete
something over the course of a couple months can be exciting and
incredibly rewarding. Go start that novel you’ve been thinking about.
你是如何度过休闲时间的？看电视？网上冲浪？还是在Lifehack.org上浏览文章？度过休闲时间的方法有很多。但是，你真的能从休闲中得到更多的东西吗？不仅要使休闲生活更丰富多彩，还要切实享受更多的快乐。
打破工作和的界线
我相信这个答案和很多人受到的如何度过休闲时间的教导背道而驰。很小的时候就有人教导我们把生活分为两部分：工作和。工作包含了所有我们需要做的事情，而则是另一回事。
这样划分生活不一定是错的。但是，这里蕴含着工作和不应该相类似的信息。工作需要有成果、效率和挑战，因而就应该是轻松的、无目的、没压力的。
这样的划分毁掉休闲生活的原因
毁掉休闲生活的问题在于一个设：工作应该是的对立面。生活中最快乐的时刻是轻松享受劳动成果的时刻，这个信念与现实不符。研究表明，生活中最快乐的时刻在我们最忙碌的时候。
心
理学研究员Mihaly
Csikszentmihalyi对此现象做了记录。他通过能及时在任意点发出呯的声响的装置做了这个记录。实验对象根据自己的感觉、想法和当前活动填写
一张表格。他发现，人们从工作中获得的快乐感受比在休闲时得到的更多。他在自己的书《心流》中提到了这个悖论：
“这样，就出现了自相矛盾的
情况：在工作中，人们能感觉到能力和挑战，因而感觉到更多的快乐、更优秀、更有创造力，对自己也就更满意。而在休闲时间，人们一般都感到没什么事可做，他
们的娴熟技能也得不到应用，因而更容易感到沮丧、无聊，对自己也更不满意。然而，他们还是宁愿少点工作时间，多些休闲时间。”（我的特别强调）
我认为,人们对工作的不满源于外界对工作的需要。由于不能自由选择每天早上上班的时间，就很容易因此发牢骚，尽管上班能为我们的生活创造快乐的体验。
解决办法不是要你成为工作狂
我认为解决这个问题的办法不是全天候工作。我想那样的话只能使情况恶化，使人有受到令人压抑的工作日程限制的感觉。尽管工作中充满挑战的机会，但把一切希望都寄托在工作上是很危险的。
那么，就以积极的休闲活动占用你的空余时间
积极的休闲活动是由你随意选择自己感兴趣而且满意的活动。由于做这些事出自个人的意愿，而非他人强迫所为，你就不会感到压抑。
许多人找到了让积极的休闲活动融入生活办法。即使在时间有限的时候，也把它花在业余爱好、体育锻炼和学习新技能上。但是，随着标准的每周四十小时的工作时间拉长，消极的活动令人感到更自在，因而人们难得参加积极的休闲活动。
休闲是个艰苦的工作
升级休闲活动使之带来更多快乐，往往不能令人感到舒心。这似乎说反了，因为人们认为休闲的目的就是要舒心快乐。不过，有时用于消闲的积极活动产生的好处并不能马上体现出来。
活动需要你投入注意力。而体能是为工作能力，而不是为得到快乐服务的，因此，它可能会在任何不必要的事情上抵制你的企图。
如何启动积极休闲的习惯
升级休闲活动的办法有很多，但都需要付出努力。能产生心流的机会不像看电视或休息，它需要预先规划。它可能有时需要编制，而且总是需要一个开始实行的初始时间。
我建议做个实验。以一种活力不足的活动替代更具吸引力的事情。坚持一个月。一个月以后，如果你觉得新的活动不如原来的令你高兴，就停下来。这是为了快乐，不是为了产出，因此，如果你决定再改回去，不必感到内疚。
几种积极休闲活动
以下是几个关于开始积极休闲活动的设想：
1. 参加讲演会－在toastmasters.org 网站能找到离你所在地最近的俱乐部。俱乐部有很多，那是很棒的体验。我认识许多人，他们告诉我，参加演讲会是他们一周内最重要的事情。
2. 开始一门手艺－试着培养新的业余爱好，或重新捡起老手艺。绘画，做木工，雕刻，编程和写博客都是很好的开始。买一本指南书，指导你开始学习。
3. 进行体育锻炼－选择一项体育运动，能让你活动起来，给你提供具挑战性的环境。这不仅能保持你的身体健康，而且能让你的思维处于比坐在沙发上更敏捷的活动状态。
4. 学习一门新的语言－激励自己学习一门外语。这一直是我自己的目标。我从很多方面了解到这样能激发快乐，也能使说外语的舌头更灵活。
5. 玩个游戏－电脑游戏和互动活动可能是激发心流的最好方法。尽管你可能沉迷于快乐的活动，但是安排一点时间玩玩游戏能吸引你的注意力，让你开心。
6. 启动一项－我个人最喜欢做的是运作一项新的。启动一项，在几个月时间内一步步完成能令人感到兴奋，而且能获得意想不到的回报。开始写你一直想写的吧。

风和太阳(The Wind And The Sun)
One day the wind said to the sun, “Look at that man walking along the road. I can get his cloak off more quickly than you can.”
“We will see about that,” said the sun. “I will let you try first.”
So the wind tried to make the man take off his cloak. He blew and blew, but the man only pulled his cloak more closely around himself.
“I give up,” said the wind at last. “I cannot get his cloak off.” Then the sun tried. He shone as hard as he could. The man soon became hot and took off his cloak.
(有一天风跟太阳说: “看看那个沿着路上走的人.我可以比你快让他把披风脱下来.)
(“我们等着看吧,”太阳说, “我让你先试.)
(因此风尝试让那个人把披风脱下来.他用力地吹,可是那个人把披风拉得更紧.)
(“我放弃了,”风最后说, “我无法让他把披风脱下来.”然后由太阳试试看.他尽可能地晒他.不久,那个人很热就把披风脱下来了.)
第一篇：THE NEWSPAPER 报 纸

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
第二篇：MY DAILY LIFE 我的日常生活
Though my daily life is extremely monotonous, I try hard to adapt myself to it. Why? Because I intend to be a good student. I wish to render service to my country.
I get up at six o’clock every day. After I wash my face and brush my teeth, I begin to review my lessons. I go to school at seven o’clock.
After school is over, I return home. We usually he supper at seven o’clock.
Then I begin to do my homework. I want to finish it before I go to bed.
虽然我的日常生活十分单调，但我却竭力设法去适应它。为什么？因为我打算做一个好学生，希望将来为国家服务。
我每天六点起床、洗脸刷牙后，就开始复习功课，七点钟我就去上学。
放学后，我就回家了。我们通常在七点钟吃晚餐，之后我就开始做家庭作业，希望在睡觉前把它做完。
第三篇：A MODEL STUDENT 模范学生
Do you mind being called a bad student? Of course not. So far as I know, everybody intends to be (become) a model student.
However, to be a model student is by no means an easy thing. First, he must do his best to oain knowledge. A man without sufficient knowledge will not succeed. Secondly, he must remember to improve his health. Only a strong man can do great tasks. Thirdly, he should receive moral education. If his conduct is not good, no one will consider making friends with him.
你价意被称为坏学生吗？当然不。就我所知，每个人都打算做模范学生。
然而，做模范学生却不容易。第一，他必须尽力获得知识（求知）。一个没有足够知识的人是不会成功的。第二，他必须记住促进健康。只有强壮的人才能做大事。第三，他应该接受道德教育。如果他品行不好，没有人会考虑和他交朋友的。
第四篇：HOW TO GET HAPPINESS 如何获得快乐
There is no dou that hiness is the most precious thing in the world. Without it, life will be empty and meaningless. If you wish to know how to get hiness, you must pay attention to the following two points.
First, health is the secret of hiness (the key to hiness). Only a strong man can enjoy the pleasure of life.
Secondly, hiness consists in contentment. A man who is dissatisfied with his present condition is always in distress.
无疑的快乐是世界上最宝贵的东西。没有它，人生将是空虚的而且毫无意义的。如果你希望知道如何获得快乐，你须注意下面两点。
健康是快乐的要诀。唯有身体强壮的人才能享受人生的乐趣。
快乐在于知足。一个不满于现状的人终是处在痛苦之中。
第五篇：BOOKS 书籍
As is well known, books teach us to learn life, truth, science and many other useful things. They increase our knowledge, broaden our minds and strengthen our character. In other words, they are our good teachers and wise friends. This is the reason why our parents always encourage us to read more books.
Reading is a good thing, but we must pay great attention to the choice of books. It is true that we can derive benefits from good books. However, bad books will do us more harm than good.
如众所周知，书籍教我们学习人生，真理，科学以及其它许多有用的东西。它们增加我们的知识，扩大我们的心胸并加强我们的品格。换句话说，它们是我们的良师益友。这是为什么我们的父母终是鼓励我们要多读书的理由。
读书是一好事，但我们必须多加注意书的选择。不错，我们能从好书中获得益处。然而，坏书却对我们有害无益。
第六篇：A TRIP TO THE COUNTRY 乡村游记
One Sunday my mother (Mother) had (made) me take my little young brother to the a trip to the country. She bade me take good care of him.
While we were walking along the road, the sun was shining brightly and the breeze was blowing gently. We saw the beautiful flowers smile (smiling) at us and heard the birds sing (singing) their sweet songs on the trees. The scenery was indeed very pretty (beautiful).
When we felt tired, we returned home. We saw Mother (our mother) wait (waiting) for us at the door.
有一个星期日，我母亲叫我带小弟弟去乡村游历。她吩咐我要好好照料他。
当我们沿着道路行走的时候，太阳灿烂地照耀着，微风轻轻地吹着。我们看见美丽的花儿对我们微笑着，并听见鸟儿在树上唱着悦耳的歌曲，风景实十分美丽。
当我们感觉到疲倦的时候，我们就回家了。我们看见母样正在门口等候我们。
第七篇：BE PATRIOTIC 要爱国
It is the duty of every citizen to make the country rich and powerful (To make the country rich and strong is...). In order to accomplish this object one must be patriotic (love his country). I consider this an unchangeable truth.
How can a student love his country (be patriotic)? I find my answer very simple and clear. He must study hard and store up knowledge so as to serve his (the) country in the future. If every student can do according to what I said, the country will certainly be rich and powerful.
要使国家富强是每个公民的责任。为了达到此目的，必须爱国。我认为这是一条不易的定理。
一个学生如何才能爱国呢？我发觉答复很简单明了。他必须用功读书并积储知识以便将来服务国家。如果每个学生能按照我所说的去做，国家一定会富强。
第八篇：THE VALUE OF TIME 爱惜时光
An English proverb says that time is money. I consider it (this) wrong. Why? Because we all know that we can earn money be work but can not in any way get back time (in anyway). For this reason, we may (can) say that time is more valuable than money.
Many people do not know the value of time. It (this) is indeed a great pity. We must bear (keep) in mind that wasting time is equal to wasting your life.
英国有句谚语说，时间就是金钱。我认为这是不对的。为什么？因为我们大家都知道我们能够用工作赚钱，但无论如何却无法把时间争取回来。基于此种理由，我们可以说时间比钱钱更宝贵。
许多人不知爱惜时光。这确实是可惜的。我们必须记住浪费时间等于浪费生命。
本文的题目叫Love Your Life 热爱生活，希望大家会喜欢这篇英语小短文。
However mean your life is,meet it and live it ;do not shun it and call it hard names.It is not so bad as you are.It looks poorest when you are richest.The fault-finder will find faults in paradise.Love your life,poor as it is.You may perhaps he some pleasant,thrilling,glorious hourss,even in a poor-house.The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the alms-house as brightly as from the rich man's abode;the snow melts before its door as early in the spring.I do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there,and he as cheering thoughts,as in a palace.The town's poor seem to me often to live the most independent lives of any.May be they are simply great enough to receive without misgiving.Most think that they are above being supported by the town;but it often hens that they are not above supporting themselves by dishonest means.which should be more disreputable.Cultivate poverty like a garden herb,like sage.Do not trouble yourself much to get new things,whether clothes or friends,Turn the old,return to them.Things do not change;we change.Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts.
英语小短文译文：不论你的生活如何卑贱，你要面对它生活，不要躲避它，更别用恶言咒骂它。它不像你那样坏。你最富有的时候，倒是看似最穷。爱找缺点的人就是到天堂里也能找到缺点。你要爱你的生活，尽管它贫穷。甚至在一个济贫院里，你也还有愉快、高兴、光荣的时候。夕阳反射在济贫院的窗上，像身在富户人家窗上一样光亮；在那门前，积雪同在早春融化。我只看到，一个从容的人，在哪里也像在皇宫中一样，生活得心满意足而富有愉快的思想。城镇中的穷人，我看，倒往往是过着最独立不羁的生活。也许因为他们很伟大，所以受之无愧。大多数人以为他们是超然的，不靠城镇来支援他们；可是事实上他们是往往利用了不正当的手段来对付生活，他们是毫不超脱的，毋宁是不体面的。视贫穷如园中之花而像圣人一样耕植它吧！不要找新的花样，无论是新的朋友或新的衣服，来麻烦你自己。找旧的，回到那里去。万物不变，是我们在变。你的衣服可以卖掉，但要保留你的思想。
第九篇：WHY SHOULD WE STUDY ENGLISH 为什么我们要学英文
If you want to ask me why we should study English, my answer will be simple and clear. Now let me enumerate the reasons one by one in the following.
In the first place, English has become an international language. If you know English, you van make a trip round the world without being misunderstood.
In the second place, most valuable books, newspapers and magazines are written in English. If you wish (hope) to get knowledge, you must learn English.
如果你要问我们为什么我们要学英文。我的答复很简单明了。现在让我来把我的理由一一列举在下面：
英文已成为一种国际语言。如果你通晓它，你可以环游世界不会被人误解。
大多数有价值的书籍，报纸和杂志都是用英文写的。如果你希望获得知识，你必须学习英文。
第十篇：MY BIRTHDAY 我的生日
Yesterday was my birthday, so some of my classmates sent me presents. Mother prepared a tea party for me. I invited all of them to come and take part in it.
The tea party began at half past six. There were cold drinks and refreshments. We ate, talked and laughed. We felt that we were the hiest men in the world.
Time passed quickly. In a twinkling, the clock on the wall struck nine. We could not but say “Good-bye” to one another.
昨天是我生日，所以有几位我的同班同学送我礼。母亲给我准备一个茶会。我邀请他们都前来参加。
茶会下午六点半开始。有冷饮和点心。我们又吃又谈又笑。我们觉得是世界上最快乐的人。 时间过得很快。转瞬间，墙上的钟敲九点了。我们不得不互道再见。

英语小短文译文：不论你的生活如何卑贱，你要面对它生活，不要躲避它，更别用恶言咒骂它。它不像你那样坏。你最富有的时候，倒是看似最穷。爱找缺点的人就是到天堂里也能找到缺点。你要爱你的生活，尽管它贫穷。甚至在一个济贫院里，你也还有愉快、高兴、光荣的时候。夕阳反射在济贫院的窗上，像身在富户人家窗上一样光亮；在那门前，积雪同在早春融化。我只看到，一个从容的人，在哪里也像在皇宫中一样，生活得心满意足而富有愉快的思想。城镇中的穷人，我看，倒往往是过着最独立不羁的生活。也许因为他们很伟大，所以受之无愧。大多数人以为他们是超然的，不靠城镇来支援他们；可是事实上他们是往往利用了不正当的手段来对付生活，他们是毫不超脱的，毋宁是不体面的。视贫穷如园中之花而像圣人一样耕植它吧！不要找新的花样，无论是新的朋友或新的衣服，来麻烦你自己。找旧的，回到那里去。万物不变，是我们在变。你的衣服可以卖掉，但要保留你的思想。
我来向你提供一篇吧:

各位领导，各位老师：
今天我演讲的题目是《让享受学习成为课堂教学的最高境界》。说起享受，谁也不陌生，精神的，物质的，每个人都有梦想着能如愿以偿的享受生活展现在我们面前的无尽魅力。
作为一个教师，在享受生活的同时，我时刻不忘自己的使命：教书育人，每天看到孩子们拿着课本走进学校，我都会想：这些孩子快乐吗？答案不言而喻：部分学生因为成绩好，得到了教师和家长的赏识，他们也许是快乐的。大部分学生由于没有高分，达不到教师和家长的要求，相对来说，他们的学习有怎么会快乐呢？对于更差的学生来说，学习不亚于精神与肉体的双重折磨！
学生是活生生的人，是学习的主体，让他们享受学习的快乐是他们生活的权利！这种享受更应该是课堂教学之最高境界。，也只有在教学中把关注生命，享受学习作为追求的最高目标，才能显示出她的无限风。为了达到这种境界，就要求教师在教学中确立领先的“育人教书”理念，强化“教为学服务”的意识，促使学生在研究性综合实践活动中，发现、提出、研究，解决为体，给学生最大限度地充分体验，尽情展示的机会。使学生在快乐，灵活的学习方式中，在愉悦的“学会学习”的过程中，伴随着情感方面得体眼，感受“享受学习”之快乐，使学生的在校生活成为他一生中最愉快、最值得回忆的一段人生旅途。
老师们，行动起来吧，放下担子，学会欣赏学生，在欣赏的过程中，愉悦自己，同时把快乐传递。我们有责任让学生在愉快的氛围中享受学习，享受教育，享受读书得快乐，享受求知的种种美好！让学生在享受的过程中使生命之花更加完美！
不好意思，刚刚看到你是高二的学生，开始还以为你是高二的老师呢。
对于学生而言,英语演讲是锻炼自身综合素质与能力的极佳机会。我为你整理了2017年英语演讲稿带翻译3分钟，希望对你有帮助。

On the other hand the lack of knowledge about the importance of protecting environment hinders the solving of the problem. In a word there is a long way to go before we enjoy a clean and comfortable world.

God's Coffee
A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor. Conversation
soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life.
Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups - porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite - telling them to help themselves to the coffee.When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said: "If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up, leing behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress. Be assured that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee. In most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink. What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups... And then you began eyeing
each other's cups. Now consider this: Life is the coffee; the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain Life, and the type of cup we he does not define, nor change the quality of Life we live. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee God has provided us."
God brews the coffee, not the cups.......... Enjoy your coffee!
"The hiest people don't he the best of everything. They just
make the best of everything."
Live simply.
Love generously.
Care deeply.
Speak kindly.
Lee the rest to God.
上帝的咖啡
一群事业有成的同学回去看望他们的大学老师，很快他们开始抱怨生活和工作中的压力。
老师去厨房为客人们准备咖啡，回来时端着一大壶咖啡和各式各样的杯子，这些杯子有陶瓷的、塑料的、玻璃的、水晶的，有的普通，有的昂贵，有的精致，老师让大家随意享用。
等每个人都端起一杯咖啡，老师说话了：你们注意到吗：所有好看昂贵的杯子都被用了，剩下那些朴素便宜的杯子。你们都只想要最好的，这很正常，这恰恰是你们的问题和压力所在。杯子不会让咖啡的质量变得更好，很多时候，只是让它变得更贵一些，甚至，有时候，让人忽略了到底我们在喝什么。你们真正想要的其实是咖啡，不是杯子，但你们有意识地去拿那些最好的杯子，随后开始打量其他人手上的杯子。想想吧：生活好比咖啡，工作、金钱和社会地位都只是杯子，只是生活的容器，而我们拥有的杯子既无法定义、也无法改变我们生活的质量。有时，由于我们只关心杯子，我们甚至不能够好好品尝上帝赐予我们的咖啡。
上帝冲泡了咖啡，不是杯子。······享受你们的咖啡吧。
最快乐的人们并不是因为他们拥有最好的一切，他们只是把一切当成最好。
简单地活着。仁慈地爱着。深深地关心着。友善地说话。
其他的，就留给上帝吧。
Never stop dreaming of success

As school kids, we he many dreams. These dreams can be very big, or they can be small.
Once you he found a dream, what do you do with it? He you ever tried to make your dream real?
An Australian author Andrew Matthews tells us that realizing our dreams is life's biggest challenge
You may think you're not very good at some school subjects, or that it is impossible for you to become a writer. These kinds of thoughts stop you from getting your dream.
In fact, everyone can realize their dream. The first thing you must do is remember what your dream is. Don't let it lee your heart.Do this step by step. A dream cannot be realized in one day. A big dream is, in fact, many small dreams. You must also never give up on your dream.
There will be difficulties on the road to realizing it. But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself. You need to decide what is most important. Studying instead of watching TV will lead to better exam results, while sing five yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book.
As you get closer to your dream, it may change a little. Finally as you realized your dream, you can say proudly: “I’m the winner in the life’s biggest challenge

Dreams can fly
It has been over 100 years since the very first plane, invented by the Wright Brothers, flew into the sky. The first plane, which was made of wood, had only been able to fly for 12 seconds in the air, but it opened the door of the iation world.
I wonder how the Wright brothers would imagine such a magnificent idea. They must he some kind of dream----human beings like birds, flying freely in space----they attempted various kinds of material to make planes, finally making their dream come true, although only a short 12 seconds for the first flight!
We students often he different dreams: to be scientists, engineers, doctors, etc. Like the Wright brothers when they were young, we should try our best to experience different things, for example, going out of doors to watch different animals, watching butterflies in the air, or watching fish in the water. With more knowledge in these fields, we can become biologists in the future. Generally speaking, we’d better make greater efforts in our studies. In this way, we can make our dreams come true, not only like the Wright brothers in the sky, but also like Yang Liwei in outer space.
老多了 你要哪种啊？
