爱惜时光 (THE VALUE OF TIME)
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。
最充实的暑假生活(the summer holiday i enjoyed most)
compared with over 100 days' exhausting school life, summer holiday is definitely a golden time for relaxation and entertainment. we can set aside the studies, lock away the textbooks, forget everything about school, and greet the new life with our arms open up. during the two months' loose, we enjoy ourselves thoroughly, sleeping till when the sun is high in the sky, playing computer night and day, watching tv as long as we want to, and traveling around like a tramp. time rolls by, and it is not until at the end of the holiday that we suddenly find our home assignment remaining blank sheets of paper. then we go mad, and devote the last days to fulfilling the homework.
the same summer holidays pass year after year, and year after year, we regret when they come to an end. we regret having wasted so much time on recreations, instead of our lessons, and regret having worn away our youth in trifles.
although it was still the case this summer, i dare say this was the most fruitful holiday i had ever spent. yes, the summer holiday i enjoyed most is this year's. www•
at the very beginning of the holiday, our head teacher instructed us to make the most of the summer coming up, and then turn ourselves into bookworms. i took heart on hearing it, and at once mapped out a long list of hundreds of tasks i was going to perform. i was even in higher spirits in the first days of the summer, dreaming that i stuck to the whole schedule and became a super girl the next semester. but my ambition didn't stand the test of time. it was only a few days later that my attention was continually attracted by the internet, novels, and shopping malls. time flew surprisingly fast. when the vacation was already over, i realized in astonishment and despair that i had acted on only a half of my plan.
however, i am now consoling myself with the thought that it is human nature to have a rest after a long term's study; hence it is not realistic to keep working hard, even though the horrible senior 3 was just around the corner. therefore, i am satisfied. i am satisfied with my daily routine in which i spent an average 9 hours in sleeping, 2 hours in eating, 2 hours in surfing the internet, 6 hours in doing some trivial things which i couldn't even remember, and the other 5 hours in studying. after all, i have done my possible. what is more, i did have a precious pause between the intense school days, and seized the last chance to relax in my senior life. so, this was a holiday combined with rest and work, wasn't it?
关爱大自然(caring for nature)
what is nature? it’s everything that exists in the world independently of people, such as pants and animals, earth and rocks, and the weather. now more and more people are focusing on the nature. it is no doubt that the nature is important to every human being. no nature, no life. because of the supplies of the nature, we have lived happily for a long time. and we started to gain every thing available from the nature. and this lasted so long a time. today, people have discovered that the nature around is getting worse and worse.
what is threatening the nature? air and water pollution, overharvesting of plant and animal species, overpopulation and so on. overpopulation is the biggest source of pollution. let’s take overpopulation as an example.
what does overpopulation feel like? when we move slowly through the city in a tazi. when we enter a crowded slum district. when the temperature is high and when the air is thick with dust and smoke. the streets are crowded with people. the streets seem alive with people. people eating. people washing. people talking. people sleeping. people visiting each other, arguing and screaming. people relieving themselves. people pushing their hands through the taxi windows, begging. people leading animals. people, people, people, people. as we drive slowly through the crowd, sounding the taxi’s horn, the dust, heat, noise and cooking fires made it like a scene from hell! i admit, frightening.
to the nature, overpopulation is a big problem. more people, more pollution. and the big population is threatening the nature every second.
