My College 我的大学

When I was in high school, go to college ismy dream. Now I realize my dream. excited as I am, the first time I see my college.

在高中的时候上大学就是我的梦想。现在我实现了我的梦想。第一次看到我的大学时，我很兴奋。

My college is inside the biggest university of Guangxi so that everytime I have to across a big campus to go out. At first Iam upset about that, but later on I get used to it. My college looks modernization in general. When I arrive at the school gate, the first thing is the boys’ dormitory and then is the playground. Look up! I see the canteen. I see the girls’ dormitory turn left. But where is my classroom? I look around but can’t find it. It turns out that it is separated by burrows. It’s strange,right? While I go across the burrow, I see another two big playgrounds and a tenniscourt at my left side. What is in my right side? Turn right, I see rows of teaching building connecting with the library. This is my college. I like it notonly because of the evironment but also the people there.

我的大学是在广西最大的大学里面，以至于每次我要出去的时候都要经过一个大校园。一开始的时候我很烦这一点，但后来我习惯了。整体来看我的大学是现代化的。我到达学校门口时，映入眼帘的是男生宿舍，然后是操场。抬头！我看到了食堂。左转我看到了女生宿舍。但是教室在哪里呢？我环顾四周，却找不到。原来它被一个地洞给隔开了。很奇怪，对吧？我走过地洞，我看到了另外两个大操场，一个网球场在我的左边。在我右边的是什么？向右转，我看到了一排排的教学楼连接着图书馆。这是我的大学。我喜欢它，不仅仅是因为那里的环境而且还是因为那里的人。

Both the teachers and students there are very nice. My roomates always help me in the daily life, the thing they usually do is wake me up in the morning. Other classmates always help me, when I meet trouble in study. My teachers are all kind and knowlegeable. Especially my head teacher, he talks with us and plays sports with us in order to make us get used to the new life.

那里的老师和同学都很好。我的室友总是日常生活中帮助我，他们经常要做的事是在早上叫我起床。我在学习上遇到困难，其他同学也总是帮助我。我的老师们都很友善和博学。特别是我的班主任，为了让我们适应新的生活，他和我们聊天，打球。

My college is wonderful. I love it. If you have the opportunity, I hope you can pay a visit one day.

我的大学很好，我爱它。如果有机会，我希望你们也能去看看。

工作对生活的重要性 Work Is Important in Our Life

These days I have beenleisure but bored after finishing the final exam. In fact, I really don’t likethe way I have lived in these days, because I feel like a foolish that cantfind my values and have to be supported by others. That made me crazy.Therefore, I consider that people should find and achieve their values in lives,especially female. Obviously, work is an important way to achieve our values.However, why is work important in our life?

期末考试过后的这几天我很闲但是也很无聊。事实上，我真的不喜欢这几天的这种生活方式，因为我感觉像个傻子一样找不到我的价值而要靠别人养活。这使我疯掉了。所以，我认为人应该找到并实现自己的生活价值，特别是女性。很明显，工作是 实现我们价值的重要方式。但是，为什么工作在我们的生活中如此重要呢？

Firstly, work isthe only way for us to satisfy our basic needs. In order to get food, clothesand other living conditions to live happily, we have to work hard. In thisaspect, work is a natural responsibility for us, for our families. But usually,those who just consider work as a kind of responsibility regard work as a heavyburden in their life and they will feel really tired after a period of time,even some of which will choose to renounce the responsibility they have.Therefore, workmust have other positive meanings in deeper respect.

首先，工作是我们满足基本需要的唯一方式。为了获取食物，衣服还有其他生存条件以幸福生活，我们必须努力工作。在这方面，工作对我们以及对家人来说是自然的责任。但是，通常那些只把工作当做一种责任的人，也把工作当做是生活中的一种压力。经过一段时间后他们就会觉得很累，甚至有的人会选择放弃他们的责任。因此，工作必须有在更深层面有积极的意义。

In addition, I strongly feel inthese days that work is an important way to achieve ourselves. Just as Maslowsays that human has five needs: physiological needs, safety needs, love andbelonging, esteem, self-actualization and self-transcendence. In my opinion,work is relative to the higher hierarchy of needs. We always need to achieveour value and worth to gain esteem or recognition from others by some ways,especially by work. I think it is easyto appear in the younger those who have some mature thoughts, so that mostteenagers will try their best to get rid of their parents’ care to make a livingby themselves. In this aspect, working is not only a way to make a living, butalso a way for us to achieve ourselves. In other words, working can bring satisfactionto us in spiritual.

另外，这几天我有强烈的感觉，工作是实现自我的重要方式。正如马斯洛所说，人有五大需求：生理需求，安全需求，爱与归属，自尊，自我实现和自我超越。在我看来，工作与更高层次的需求有关。我们总是需要实现我们的价值，想要通过某些方法，尤其是通过工作，从别人那里获得自尊或认可。我认为这对有成熟想法的年轻人来说是很容易的，所以大部分的青年会尽量摆脱父母的照顾独自谋生。从这一方面来看，工作不仅是谋生手段，也是我们实现自我的手段。换句话说，工作能够给我们带来精神上的满足。

In a word, work isimportant in our life. No matter what kind of occupation we pursue, we shouldtry our best. As an adult, without work, you would be bored, and even decadent.

总之，工作在生活中很重要。不管我们追求的是哪一种职业，我们应该尽我们最大的努力。作为一个成年人，没有工作你就会觉得无聊，甚至颓废。

An Excellent School Art Festival 精彩的学校艺术节

Our school art festival is held once a year. I think this year’s was excellent because a lot of students and teachers took part in it. At first, the students of Class1 Grade6 danced the Gangnam Style. How wonderful they were! Then, English teachers had an English Choir. How good they were! I liked these two programs. Finally the students of Class3 Grade7 sang pop songs. They sang so wonderfully! At last they won the first prize.

我们学校的艺术节每年举行一次。我认为今年的真是太棒了，因为很多的学生和老师都参加了。一开始的时候，六年级一班的学生跳江南style。他们跳得多么的棒啊！然后，英语老师组织了英文合唱团。他们唱得多么好啊！我喜欢这两个节目。最后的是七年级三班的学生们唱流行歌曲。他们唱着如此的美妙啊！最后他们赢了一等奖。

[英语作文：我的大学

China has often been criticized for the rampant practice of software piracy. Take a look around. We operate on pirated Windows systems, defend PC security with pirated Kaspersky anti-virus programmes, process files with pirated Microsoft Office, draft 3D designs with pirated AutoCAD, refine pictures with pirated Adobe Photoshop, and study English with pirated Kingsoft’s electronic dictionaries and translators. It’s no exaggeration that pirated software is everywhere。

The logic behind the phenomenon is simple and clear: if a pirated copy is available for just a tiny fraction of the normal price, not to speak of many of the free downloads online, who would pay for an authentic copy? Cheaper prices aside, easy access is another important factor. With such a large gathering of pirated upgrades around, who would bother to spend time and money searching the stores for an authorized yet outdated version?

Despite these apparent benefits, the practice of software piracy should be banned, because it represents unfair competition and by nature it’s a no-win situation. But how? Two approaches are to be taken at the same time: Technically, software developers should enhance their antipiracy engineering, so that cracking the software should be virtually impossible. And legally, the government should also tighten its antipiracy laws and toughen up the penalties, so that violations should be costly。

我们知道，很多人认为大学生活是自由、舒适的，但我想说这不是真的。事实上，我的大学生活是如此的忙碌，以至于我都不知道我的能量是否足够。下面是小编帮大家整理的大学生活感触英语作文，希望大家喜欢。

As we know, many people favor theidea that the college life is free and comfortable, but I’d like to say it’snot true. As a matter of fact, my life in university is so busy that I wonderif my energy is enough. As to my college life, I divide it into four parts,including study, student activities, library and the others.

Firstly, I want to talk about thestudy. In my opinion, study is the priority in college. When I received theletter of admission in summer, I knew clearly that what I should do. So I makeup my mind to study hard and pursue learning as much as possible. I’m greatlyconvinced that knowledge can change my life. Therefore, I often go to the quietstudy room where many people study there. By working so hard, I get good gradesin the exams.

Secondly, student activities playan important role in our college life. To be honest, the student Union is agood place where one can develop social skills, get his abilities trained. Itake part in many student activities. For example, I’ m a volunteer, teachingthe kids to learn to dance and write. I think it’s meaningful for everyone togive a hand to others. I can also do some jobs in the Student Union, includingreceiving and sending fast mail, selling papers and magazines. I think they’re unforgettableand worthwhile experiences for me.

Thirdly, I also visit the libraryconstantly. It’s said that “shelves of books, oceans of knowledge”, so I readbooks that I’m interested in. In this way, I can share stories with my new friendsand it also changes my horizons .When I’m sad, lost or in trrouble, staying thelibrary makes me quiet and comfortable. After all, every life has bad momentsas well as good ones, and the library for me is a support in bad moments. So it’s wise choice for me to stay in thelibrary.

Finally, I often do other thingsin my spare time. In order to alleviate parents’ burden, I often do somepart-time jobs and write some articles to earn money. It helps me to beindependent and improve my social skills.

In short, mylife in university is busy but valuable. You can see that study brings me knowledge,student activities improve myself, library changes my horizons, the othersthings make me independent. They get all my abilities trained. And I see thatthe chance will come only if you have a prepared mind, so I’m sure that I canachieve my dreams in college life.

The college life is wonderful. All life in school are fresh. New teachers, new CLASSmates and fresh friends are around me。 The grand library, school buildings and wide playground are very attracting to me. I am very eager to learn much knowledge quickly. In high school, I was ever called as a runner before time. Now,I know I am behind time so much in fact. I hope to catch up with the time by my hard studying. When I entered the CLASSroom at first time, I was headache as I couldn’t understand what the professor was speaking. I met much difficulties at math, physics and other courses, even though I used to be good at these sciences. Therefore, I learn these courses myself after CLASS. After three months, the exmination indicated that I overcame all the difficlties. I study English hard as well. It makes me have many chances to communicate with foreigners. I made friends with many foreign teachers and students. From them, I learn many knowledge about foreign culture.

Besides study, my college life is also very colorful. I’d like to take any chance to improve my communication skill. Last year, I organized a speech match in management department. All the CLASSmates were very interested in this kind of activity. I learned from them much about their hometown, their knowledge and opinions.

My college life is long and short. I believe that I can spend a good time in the four years. I hope I will have no any regretion when I look back the short youth of college in the future.

My past university

I want to talk about my past university—Shan Xi Da Tong University. It not only provided me learning environment, but also provided me social practice platform. That is to say, I am not only acquired basic knowledge but also learnt how to get along well with others in four years’ university life .I missed these places mostly, library, student union and my dormitory. I used to study in library because it’s learning environment is very good and it has many kinds of books, but seats are limited; I took part in the student union when I was a freshman. I made more friends and actived in many extracurricular activities in union, but it often took a lot of time; I like my dormitory best. I shared my happiness and sorrows with my room-mates and I relaxed myself sufficiently in it. But the condition of my dormitory is poor. Above all, University is my unforgettable place. I spent most of my extra-study time in library. Generally speaking, It is a good study place. Firstly, the atmosphere of study is strong, but sometimes someone would receive and make calls, which would impact others’ study. If it can provide a few of fountains, the library would be perfect. Secondly, it has abundant of professional books, thus I can access to needed information timely when I encountered problems in study.

Besides, there are also all kinds of magazine, so I can relax myself and expand my vision when I was tired of studying. But the limited time of borrowed books is short. Last but not least, the seats are limited, which disturbed me very much. I had to go to the library line up very early just for seat. But the desks and chairs are big enough, which gave me much space to think and study and reduced the impact between students. The desks and chairs are tidy and comfortable. All in all, I like our library very much.

I took part in the student union when I was a freshman. I made many friends in union. I exchanged my idea with others. I enhanced my ability to communicate with others, but I fed up with some students in union because I don’t like their character; I took part in many activities in union, which enhanced my practice skills and accumulated a lot of social experience, but it occasionally made me embarrassed in activities; It took me a lot of time in union, which influenced my study. But at the same time, I eiched my college life and made full use of my spare time. All in all, I think it is worthy to join in the union.

I missed my dormitory and my room-mates. The reasons as follows: Firstly, I shared my happinesses and sorrows with my room-mates.in dormitory we talked and sung loudly and we made on decision on something by absorbing everyone’s advice; but we inevitably had little contradictions sometimes. Secondly, I relaxed myself sufficiently. I shout

big sleep when I was tired of one day’ study to alleviated fatigue and I freely vented myself. But thanks to personal habits are different, we didn’t reach on agreement on something. Lastly, the most regrettable is that the condition of my dormitory is poor. The room is small and there is not bathroom; but I feel very warmly because it’s my another family. I missed my dormitory very much especially my room-mates.

Generally speaking, my college life is interesting and rewarding. I was not only learnt basic professional knowledge but also made many friends and enhanced my practical skills. The library provided me a good learning environment. The union gave me practice platform. The dormitory made me become a happiness girl. I missed my past university very much. Now, I am in a new university and I think I will spend a more meaningfull postgraduate life in there .

As we know, many people favor the idea that the college life is free and comfortable, but I’d like to say it’s not true. As a matter of fact, my life in university is so busy that I wonder if my energy is enough. As to my college life, I divide it into four parts, including study, student activities, library and the others.

我们知道，很多人认为大学生活是自由、舒适的，但我想说这不是真的。事实上，我的大学生活是如此的忙碌，以至于我都不知道我的能量是否足够。至于我的大学生活，我把它分为四个部分，包括学习，学生活动，图书馆和其他的。

Firstly, I want to talk about the study. In my opinion, study is the priority in college. When I received the letter of admission in summer, I knew clearly that what I should do. So I make up my mind to study hard and pursue learning as much as possible. I’m greatly convinced that knowledge can change my life. Therefore, I often go to the quiet study room where many people study there. By working so hard, I get good grades in the exams.

首先，我想谈谈学习。在我看来，学习是大学该优先考虑的。当我在夏天收到录取通知书时，我就清楚地知道我应该做什么。所以我下定决心努力学习，尽可能多的追求学问。我非常相信知识可以改变我的生活。因此，我常常去安静的自习室学习，有很多人在那里学习。通过努力学校，我在考试中取得了好成绩。

Secondly, student activities play an important role in our college life. To be honest, the student Union is a good place where one can develop social skills, get his abilities trained. I take part in many student activities. For example, I’ m a volunteer, teaching the kids to learn to dance and write. I think it’s meaningful for everyone to give a hand to others. I can also do some jobs in the Student Union, including receiving and sending fast mail, selling papers and magazines. I think they’re unforgettable and worthwhile experiences for me.

其次，在我们的大学生活中学生活动中起了重要的作用。老实说，学生会是一个很好的地方，一个可以培养社会技能的地方，一个训练自己能力的地方。我参加了许多学生活动。例如，我是一个志愿者，教孩子们学习舞蹈和写作。我认为帮助别人是有意义的。我还可以在学生会中做一些工作，包括接收和发送快速电子邮件，卖报纸和杂志。我觉得他们是我难忘的、有价值的经验。

Thirdly, I also visit the library constantly. It’s said that “shelves of books, oceans of knowledge”, so I read books that I’m interested in. In this way, I can share stories with my new friends and it also changes my horizons .When I’m sad, lost or in trouble, staying the library makes me quiet and comfortable. After all, every life has bad moments as well as good ones, and the library for me is a support in bad moments. So it’s wise choice for me to stay in the library.

第三，我经常去图书馆。据说“书架上的书，知识的海洋，所以我阅读我感兴趣的书。这样，我可以和我的新朋友分享故事，也改变了我的视野。在我难过，迷失或陷入困境的时候，呆在图书馆能让我感到安静和舒适。毕竟，每个人的生活都有不好和好的时候，图书馆对我来说也是心情不好时的一种支撑。所以对我来说呆在图书馆是明智的选择。

Finally, I often do other things in my spare time. In order to alleviate parents’ burden, I often do some part-time jobs and write some articles to earn money. It helps me to be independent and improve my social skills.

最后，我经常在空余时间做一些其他的事情。为了减轻父母的负担，我经常做一些兼职工作，写一些文章来赚钱。它帮助我变得独立，改善我的社交能力。

In short, my life in university is busy but valuable. You can see that study brings me knowledge, student activities improve myself, library changes my horizons, the others things make me independent. They get all my abilities trained. And I see that the chance will come only if you have a prepared mind, so I’m sure that I can achieve my dreams in college life.

总之，我的大学生活是忙碌而有价值的。你可以看到学习带给我知识，学生活动提升我自己，图书馆改变了我的视野，其他的事情让我变得独立。它们让我所有的能力得到训练。我看到机会只会留给有准备的人，所以我相信在大学生活中我能实现我的梦想。

Hello everyone。Today Im glad to be here to give a speech about my fresh experience in China Agriculture University。

First I must say the campus life is really different from what I have experienced in high school。For instance，I used to lean upon my dormitory teacher to wake me up on time。But now I have to set several alarm clocks to make myself could hear them in the morning otherwise I would miss my class。And then even worse there would be nobody remind me

When I was young at high school,I couldnt stop dreaming about my college life again and again.Suffering too much pressure form college entrance test,I always admired college students for their relaxed life in college.

In my personal opinion,living in university is  an enjoyment.Every day we can open our eyes naturally,and put on clothes in our own style without warring about teachers rigid control.Communicating with great master is no longer beyond our reach.Each course we take can be a feast for our mind and soul.After class,we will lead a rich and colorful life filled with various leisure activities such as .Library in  university is another factor I pursue.I think its an access to enhancing our comprehensive abilities to read even just scan all  sorts of

writings.Whats more,we will have so much disposable time that we can do whatever worthy.And our contact group will be extended signally via organizing and participating many activities.All in all,I once imagined that I can live a life that is substantial but meaningful.

However,I just have to admit that what I just describe is really dream.Now living in SD I cant figure out what I pursue and make a feasible career planning.So many young cynics in this schoolyard  argue for something meaningless.Worse still,the academic atmosphere has already done with nothing left.I havent found a busy but rich thing to try my best.As a matter of fact,I even cant choose a lifestyle I prefer.What a tragedy it is between dream and reality.

It has been two years since I first got to university. Some of my

classmates say that the college life is boring, because they have plenty of time

but do not know what to do. However, from my point of view, the campus life in

college is interesting and colorful as long as you make it meaningful.

In the first semester in college, I didnt relax and I still worked hard as

I was in the senior school. I usually spent two hours in study at night and I

went to the classroom forautonomous learning.But the difference is that I have

many extracurricular activities. For example, I went to the English Corner

regularly on Tuesday night, in which I could practice my spoken English and make

friends with common interests.

Besides, I join the Student Union of my department. In the Student Union, I

have a group of workmates who work hard together and support to each other.

Actually, it looks like a big, warm family that we can share our lives together.

During various activities, I realize the importance of team spirit that helps us

go further.

Finally, college is great stage to improve a student and show ones

abilities. In college, I know more about our society and get more channels to

explore the outside world. I realize that I am not only a student but also an

adult who is preparing to step into the society.

In short, I cherish my life in college campus and I will try hard to make

it colorful as well as meaningful.

Dear Mr. Zhang, Because I have got a cold and high fever. The doctor adviced me to rest for several days. I will attend school as soon as possible. And you dont worry about my work, I will ask my classmates to help me with it once I am back.

I hope my absence will not cause you any inconvenience.

Sincerely,

xiao Li

In 2010, the carbon emission from oil hit 40 million tons but will reduce to 20 million tons in 2020. Besides, the carbon emission from natural gas increases, from 5 million tons in 2000 to 18 million tons in 2020.Many reasons account for the variation in carbon emission. Firstly, people might cut the amount of coal they use and increase the use of natural gas since natural gas is a “cleaner” fuel than coal or oil. Secondly, because of the undertaking of energy-saving project, efforts have been made to raise the efficiency of energy utilization. What’s more, since the earth is getting warmer, large attention has been paid to the importance of environmental protection.

So people should keep in mind the risk of using credit card and try to spend money wisely.First, before applying a credit card, people should make sure whether they can afford to pay back money spent on the card. Second, it is very important to work out what kind of card meets their needs. Third, people should try to pay their balance in full every month, or they will be charged interest and have negative effects on their credit scores. Finally, since some cards have high interest rates and fees when failing to pay back, it is necessary to work out the cost before using the cards.

【范文】In an age of overflowing information, college students need to rapidly process whats coming at them and know how to manage and act on it. They should keep in touch with the world outside campus and adjust themselves to the real society in shortest time.College students can get to know the world outside campus through a variety of ways. They can keep themselves informed by watching TV, listening to radio broadcasts, reading newspapers etc. Even they can take up a part-time job in spare time.Truthfully, everyone needs to enter into society when they reach a certain age. As for me, I plan to find a part-time job in a training center because I decide to be an English teacher after graduation. I know only in practice can I learn more useful teaching skills.

I am ___________. I was born in _________ . I graduate from senior high school and major in English. I started learning English since I was 12 years old. My parents have a lot of American friends. That’s why I have no problem communicating with Americans or others by speaking English.

In my spare time, I like to do anything relating to English such as listening to English songs, watching English movies or TV programs, or even attending the activities held by some English clubs or institutes. I used to go abroad for a short- term English study. During that time, I learned a lot of daily life English and saw a lot of different things.

I think language is very interesting. I could express one substance by using different sounds. So I wish I could study and read more English literatures and enlarge my knowledge.

[大学开学英语自我介绍

I try to do a good job, in order to round my college dream, perhaps the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. With the day of the end of the college entrance examination, in the days of countless expectations, the dream was eventually broken, the heart was broken, the world seemed to be suffocated.

But, life has to continue, I can not give up the dream of childhood, I still have a lot of wish can not be realized. I know that everything may start again, as long as I have the courage to face life.

In the limitless longings and reverie, college life began. Time is always slipping away from behind you, slipping from your feet, flying through your vision... Unwittingly, the life of the university is almost a year! I remember when I first entered university, I often walked alone in a big campus and looked at a strange face. My heart was so lonely. At that instant, I felt so small. However, I am still so confident of myself, in fact, sometimes people are really helpless, and that is the only motive for me to cheer up.

Many times, love the memories of that intense and full of high school life, then it seems that we have not grown up, the childhood heart do not seem to disappear, remember that failed the exam because stubborn grin. Want to cry but the girl smiled at me; remember that smile to see people love, cocked his head the boy asked me questions; think of...... Everything is so clear and clear. When we are living in the moment, we do not feel that we are happy, looking back at the road that we have passed, the rest is only regrettable! At this time I think of a very ordinary word, "lose only to know how to cherish" must be the true meaning of life.

I do not want to let myself live in yesterday, because there is no hope yesterday, only memories. As I have taken too much attention to yesterday, today has slipped away silently, tomorrow unwittingly arrived, what I own is more and more belonging to yesterday. I dont want to let my tomorrow regret for today.

After entering the University, learning is no longer so nervous, it seems that there is more time and space to be dominated by yourself, as long as you have enough passion to invest. Gradually, I feel that I am growing up in an invisible way. I am strong and independent. Time elders are always so amazing. Under his guidance, I find the sky that belongs to me. Life is no longer empty, no longer monotonous, no solitude... In the study, you never come up, because he is very clear, life is not sympathy for the weak, not motivated people shouldnt have today, even if life gives me so much. Every time I failed due to an attempt, not inferiority, not to complain about life there are too many twists and turns, the sea waves roll if lost, lost forceful desert; if Kuangwu Feisha lost, lost spectacular. Life is also the same, living too vulgar, life is lost the original charm. In life, I have known many friends. I have always believed that meeting people in the vast sea is a way to know each other and become friends. Everyones heart is not the same color, everyone has a different world in the heart, because of this, and sometimes not with friends. Because of the misunderstanding of friends quietly tears, once because of the emergence of a generation gap with their parents a loud cry or be sad, because...... Maybe this is youth. When you are young, you can laugh and make trouble. This is the special treatment that youth gives us. If you no longer have strong physique, vigorous energy and unlimited potential, you will no longer be young.

Most of the time, love a person sit and think a lot of things, want to far away things, as if not to the point of reverie. Occasionally a stiff giggle, no scruple of laughter, occasional tears, crying... Perhaps, I have not grown up before I have entered the University, the heart of the childlike innocence is still in. In fact, how I wish I didnt grow up, because that way I dont have to bear more responsibilities, there will be no more troubles and pressures, I believe in myself and be an angel of happiness. Use your own smile to melt the cold around, to illuminate the darkness around it. But I believe that when I experienced that day exposed to wind and rain, the day when I stumbled and fell again, the day when I flew through the sky, I have grown up, I will be very proud to tell the world: "grow up!"

In fact, living is happiness, even if your life is spent in failure. For a living, you can see the mountains are green, the sea is blue, the snow is white; as alive, can understand life like onions, as long as you own a piece of it, there is always one will let you tears.

When I understand all of this, it seems a lot easier. I no longer need to carry too much. I can live more naturally and live well in my own way, for all the people I love and those who love me. There is a never exhausted spring in the world, there is a deep sense of love will never die out.

To be grateful to my parents...

To be grateful to friends...

Be grateful to life...

I am so happy！

我试着努力去做好，为了圆我的大学梦，或许希望越大，失望就越大。伴随着高考结束的那一天，在无数期待的日子里，梦最终还是碎了，心也碎了，世界仿佛都窒息了！

可是，生活不得不继续，我不能放弃儿时的梦想，我还有着很多心愿未能实现。我知道一切的一切都可能重头开始，只要我有足够的勇气面对生活。

在无限的憧憬和遐想中，大学生活开始了。时间总是从你身后悄无声息的溜走，从你的脚底下滑过，从你的视野里飞过……不知不觉中，大学生活都快一年啦！还记得刚进大学时，每每独自走在偌大一个校园里望着一张张陌生的面孔，内心是那么的孤寂，就在那一瞬间，感觉到自己竟是如此的渺小。然而，我对自己依旧那么自信，其实有时候人真的很无奈，那也成为我振作起来的唯一动力。

很多时候，总爱回忆那段紧张而又充实的高中生活，那时的我们似乎还未长大，内心的那份童真似乎还未泯灭，想起了那个因为考试不及格倔强地咧嘴想哭却又冲我笑的女孩；想起了那个微笑着看人，喜欢歪着头问我问题的男孩；想起了……一切的一切都是如此的清晰明朗。当我们正活在当下时并未感到自己是幸福的，回头看看自己走过的路，剩下的也只有遗憾啦！这时让我想起一句极平凡的话“失去才懂得珍惜”想必就是生活的真谛吧。

我不想让自己生活在昨天，因为昨天没有希望，只有回忆。当我过多的注意昨天时，今天已无声无息地溜走，明天不知不觉的到来，我所拥有的是越来越多的归属于昨天。我不想再让自己的明天为今天而遗憾。

步入大学后，学习已不再那么的紧张，似乎有着更多的时间和空间由你自己去支配，只要你有足够的激情投入。渐渐的，感觉自己在无形中长大了，独立了，坚强了，时间老人总是那样的神奇，在他的带领下我找到了那片属于自己的天空。生活不再空虚，不再单调，不再孤寂……在学习上，自己从不敢懈迨，因为自己很清楚，生活是不会同情弱者的，不上进的人不该拥有今天的美好，即使生活给予我太多的磨难。我把每一次的失败归结为一次尝试，不去自卑，不去抱怨生命有太多的曲折，大海如果失去了巨浪的翻滚，就失去了雄浑；沙漠如果失去了飞沙的狂舞，就失去了壮观。人生也是如此，活得太庸俗，生命也就失去了原有的魅力。生活上，结识了很多朋友，一直深信着，茫茫人海中，能相遇是一种缘，能相识从而成为朋友更让我倍加的珍惜。每个人的心灵色彩都不会一样，每个人心中都有不同的世界，正因为如此，时而与朋友发生不快。曾因朋友的误解而悄然的流泪，曾因与父母出现了代沟而大声的哭泣或默然的伤感，曾因……也许这就是青春。青春时可以笑，可以闹，这都是青春给予我们特殊的待遇，如果有一天你不再拥有健壮的体魄，旺盛的精力，无限的潜力时，那时你已不再年轻。

很多时候，喜欢一个人呆呆地坐着，想很多的事，想很远的事，仿佛是不着边际的遐想。偶尔会一个劲的傻笑，毫无顾忌的笑，偶尔也会不停地流泪，惊天动地地哭……或许，早已步入大学的我还未长大，内心的那份童心依旧在。其实，我是多么的希望自己不要长大，因为那样就不必承担更多的责任，不会有更多的烦恼和压力了，信奉自己能够做一个快乐的天使。用自己的微笑去融化周围的寒冷，去照亮这周围的黑暗。但我相信，当我经历了风吹雨打的那一天，当我再次跌倒和踉跄的那一天，当我从天空飞过的那一天，我已经长大，我会很自豪的告诉世界：“长大真好！”

其实活着就是幸福，即使你的一辈子都是在失败中度过。因为活着，可以看到山是绿的，海是蓝的，雪是白的；因为活着，可以明白日子活像洋葱，只要你自己一片片的剥开，总有一片是会让你流泪不止的。

当我明白这一切时，似乎轻松了许多，我不再需要背负太多，我可以更加潇洒地活着，按自己的方式好好地活着，为了所有我爱的人和爱我的人！世界上有一个永远不会枯竭的泉眼，那里有浓浓的爱流出，不会枯竭。

对父母心怀感激……

对朋友心怀感激……

对生活心怀感激……

我很快乐！

The environmental pollution is worse and worse today. Many trees are cut

down, and water and air are polluted. As a student I try to have a low-carbon

life to save energy and reduce pollution.Firstly, I often walk to school. It can

reduce air pollution. Secondly, I always turn off the lights and fans when

leaving the classroom.

Thirdly, I always make full use of paper and other school things and never

waste water.

I wish more students to join me and make the earth more and more

beautiful.

I am so looking forward to my college life. I have pictured it thousands of

times in my mind. The free lifestyle and lively parties are always appearing my

mind. The great expectation of campus life endows me a lot of passion to keep

study. After two years’ study, I would find my lifestyle.

The first thing for me is to learn more knowledge. Most students find a way

to release themselves and skip or sleep in the class. They think study is just

the task, so they give up improving themselves and take part in all kinds of

activities, which bring them great joy. The wrong conception about college stage

makes most students miss the best time to equip themselves with skills. I

realize my job and dare not to loose study.

The second thing for me to learn is to make friends by joining activities.

I am a shy girl, but inside my heart, I am so eager to make more friends, so I

choose to join many activities in the spared time. I learn dancing and playing

tennis. The lucky thing is that I know many nice people and we become good

friends, who make my college colorful.

今天，我们坐了5小时车，从美国纽约来到了美国波士顿，参观了哈佛大学和麻省理工大学。

哈佛大学是淡红色和白色系列的。哈佛大学建于1636年，校训是：“要相信真理”。哈佛大学是20XX年全美本科排名第2的学校。哈佛大学历史上共培养了8位美国总统，上百位诺贝尔获得者曾在这里工作、学习。我们去摸了John Harvard先生雕塑的脚，雕塑是黑色的，可是一只左脚已经被人们摸成了金黄色。摸完John Harvard先生的金左脚，开心(我的妹妹，她只有三岁)高兴的说：“摸了脚，我就能上这所大学”!我们都笑了，爸爸对开心说：“那你要加油哦”。

关于哈佛大学的传说有三个著名的谎言：一、John Harvard先生雕塑上标注着1638字样，说这所学校是1638年建的，其实哈佛是1636年建校的。二、这个雕塑其实不是John Harvard先生本人，因为John Harvard没有留下什么照片或肖像画，矗立在校园里的雕像其实是以一位哈佛学生为模特雕塑的。三、大家都以为John Harvard先生当过哈佛校长，其实他从来都没有当过校长。

麻省理工大学离哈佛只有十分钟的路程，但风格却很不一样。麻省理工大学的楼宇更接近现代化的楼宇。麻省理工大学的吉祥物是我最喜欢的动物玩偶——海狸!这里还有好朋友钧钧喜欢的乐高实验室和机器人呢!

我喜欢哈佛大学和麻省理工大学，长大后，我要努力考上这些好学校中的一个。
