mans day. Lets be filial and guard the long family affection!

《老人与海》是海明威最不朽的作品之一，很可能成为这一代人的经典杰作之一。在他赢得了奖1953和1954部小说文学奖起到了重要作用，证实了他的力量和在文学世界的存在。海明威也是我最喜欢的作家之一。除了老人和大海，我看过他的一些其他作品，如太阳照常升起，永别了武器和Kilimanijaro雪。但是老人和大海是留给我印象最深的。

我第一次读这本书时，我十五。现在我还记得它，就像我昨天读过它一样。

读后感

今年暑假，我在美国著名作家海明威的小说《老人与海》中学习，。我很佩服小说中的老渔夫的意志，他让我明白了一个人必须有坚持不懈的精神，才能成功。小说所描述的是一个几乎六十岁的老渔夫，一次出海和钓鱼时，有一对大鱼，但不能画。经过艰苦的渔民和鱼类社会化了几天，才发现这是一个大玛琳的鱼超过几次自己的渔船，虽然明知这是很难赢得，不放弃了。因为大玛琳鱼伤口上的鱼腥味引来了几群鲨鱼争夺食物以后再，但老人仍不愿就这样放弃，最终突出重围，将大鱼带回了渔港，让其他渔夫佩服不已。老渔夫认为，当我读到：“这里离海岸实在是太近了，也许在更远的地方会有更大的鱼时，......”十分佩服这位老渔夫，因为他已经打到了一些鱼在这一刻，我，但是他不满意现有的事态，而是向着更大的目标前进。再次见到我们，在平凡的时候遇到一些小困难，我们都在抱怨。我们是祖国的未来，应该像这个老人一样雄心勃勃，去追求更好，更大的目标。当我读到“大玛琳鱼是它把小渔船游动，将缆绳缠绕到了桅杆的快速开始，老人右手高举着钢叉，跳出来，让它在尽最上面的水，一声哀鸣结束了大鱼的生命，它静静地浮在水面上......”时，我的心也像一块大石头落了。我佩服那种老人的恐惧，坚持不懈的精神，虽然知道对手的实力很强，但他根本没有退缩，遇到困难。正因为有这种精神，老渔夫才获得了生死之争的胜利。我们在生活中也要学习老渔夫的精神，做事不怕困难，才能取得成功。读大血腥味的一个鲨鱼进攻的味道，争先恐后地游来抢食，老人的左手正好在抽筋，他只能使用右手，可以用来攻击的武器保护自己用棍子，剑鱼，抓住一切口，并赶走了这群鲨鱼最后。但大鱼的肉已经被吃了一大半，但老人批评自己的左手“当工作的时候休息”的幽默，我被老人的乐观精神压抑的太。在生活中，有些损失是不可避免的，我们应该对待乐观的态度，不必担心小的利益或损失。最后，小说看到一个十几岁的老渔夫有18尺长的大长玛琳的鱼在宽容中，描述了这条鱼的巨大又一次，证明老渔夫克服的困难比平常大。老渔夫的精神，努力奋斗无所畏惧危险和困难的小说歌颂了，我们也应该像他那样，不能满足于现状，应该积极向上，做任何事都要坚持不懈，决不能半途而废，遇到困难要迎困难。只有这样，我们才能取得更大的成功和胜利。

Afterwards and further because in the big marlin wound fish fishy smell brought in several crowds of shark fish snatches the food, but the old person still did not hope like this to give up, finally highlighted encircles tightly, returned to the big fish belt the fishing port, lets other fishermen not admire already.

When I read “ the senior fisherman think: Here to the seacoast really was too near, perhaps could have a bigger fish in a farther place… ” When, I extremely admire this senior fisherman, because he by now already projected on some fish, but he had not settled to the present situation, but was approaches the bigger goal advance. Again has a look us, usually meets one slightly is difficult, we all complain incessantly. We will be the motherland future, will be supposed to like this old person same mind lofty aspiration, will even better pursue even better, the bigger goal.

When I read “ the big marlin start fast to gather round the young fishing boat hover, twined the cable on the mast, the old person right hand lifted up high the steel fork, leapt the water surface in it the flash, did utmost throws to its heart, one wail ended the big fishs life, it was static static floats on the water surface… ” When, my heart also liked together the big stone falls. I extremely admire old person that kind do not dread, the relentless spirit, although knows the match strength is very strong, but he not slightly flinches, but is welcomes difficultly above. Just because had this kind of spirit, the senior fisherman only then achieved this life and death contest success. We also must study senior fishermans spirit in life, handles the matter does not fear the difficulty, only then can obtain successfully.

the Old Man and the Sea is one of Hemingways most enduring works and may very well become one of the true classics of this generation. It played a GREat part in his winning the Pulizer Prize in 1953 and the 1954 Novel Prize for Literature and confirmed his power and presence in the literary world. Hemingway is also one of my favorite writers. Besides The Old Man And the Sea, I have read some of his other works, such as The Sun Also Rises, A Farewell to Arms and The Snow of Kilimanijaro. But The Old Man and the Sea is the one that left the deepest impression on me.

I first read this book when I was in my fifteens. And now I remember it just as well as if I had read it yesterday.

Pride and Prejudice is a chefdoeuvre.

My first impression of this story was from screen.

Its long long ago, maybe before I can read english books. I dont remember which movie edition I had seen. But I was impressed by the music, the scenery and the costume. I was very favor of a section of music in its balls. Its pretty brisk, liked a wonderful song of a bird. Regarding to the characters, I liked Elizabeth, the heroine,though I didnt think shes beautiful. But shes smart. However, I didnt pay much attention to the plot. I thought its so long that it made me impatient and bored. By now, I havent read the whole story in English or its Chinese version, either. I owe it to my prejudice.

In fact, I didnt understand the story at that time. I didnt know why it called Pride and Prejudice. Of course someone was pride, but I didnt find where s the prejudice. I thought its normal, the way people treated each other in that. I considered prejudice would be very disgusting. But to the movie everthing was OK in my minds, except its length. Now, I think I have understood more about it. Im a prejudiced person so I cant find wheres wrong. I merely like to do the things I like. Everytime I meet somebody or something,my thinking about he or it all depends on my foregone experience and my mood of the time.

Whenever the autumn, chrysanthemum fragrance of the season, we will usher in a special holiday - Chung Yeung Festival.

More than a thousand years ago, Du Fu Deng overlooking the ancient chanting of the ages - "September 9th Shandong brothers": "alone in a foreign land for the stranger, every festive times. Add corneles less one. "Through the clouds of history, but also a year Chung Yeung, then the song classic, like the voice of ... ...

In the evening of tranquility, I stood alone under a tree beside the avenue, and the sun slipped down, and crumpled through the fallen leaves, and cast a light in my eyes. And I was not able to get warm from that light, and feel that there is a bleak from the bone marrow. To see that the leaves of the leaves Guanghua no longer, even in this warm wind is also shivering cold, can not hold to fall down, like butterflies beautiful dance, and then attributed to loneliness. Wrap away, I feel like the abandoned and forgotten leaves, distant friends, in this distant city to breathe strange air, chewing thoughts of bitter fruit.

Out of the window, bursts of autumn winds, I once again looked up to see those flying in the air dead leaves. Suddenly feel that they are like a natural letterhead, and love is a passage of the world stamps, dead leaves exhausted the last life burned into a ray of brilliant, to countless off relatives and friends to send warmth and blessing, let the world no longer alone. The original as long as the heart of India, the distance will never block the truth; in fact, as long as the truth forever, End of the World but also close proximity.

每当秋高气爽，菊花飘香的时节，我们就会迎来一个特殊的节日--重阳节。

一千多年前的今天，杜甫登高远眺吟出千古绝唱——《九月九日忆山东兄弟》：“独在异乡为异客，每逢佳节倍思亲。遥知兄弟登高处，遍插茱萸少一人。”穿越历史的烟云，又是一年重阳，再颂经典，宛如心声……

宁静的傍晚，我独自一人站在林荫道旁的一棵树下，阳光斜斜地洒下来，细碎地穿过零落的树叶，在我的眼睛里投下斑斑驳驳的亮光。而我却丝毫不能从那光芒中获得温暖，反觉得有一种从骨髓中散出的凄冷。看那枯黄的树叶光华不再，即便在这温暖的风中也冻得瑟瑟发抖，坚持不住就要飘落下来，像蝴蝶绝美的舞蹈，而后归于寂寞。裹衣离开，我感觉自己就像那些被抛弃和遗忘的败叶，远隔亲人好友，在这遥远的城市呼吸陌生的空气，咀嚼思念的苦果。

窗外，阵阵秋风吹袭，我再一次抬头看那些纷飞在空中的枯叶。忽然觉得它们很像自然的信笺，而关爱是一枚通行世界的邮票，枯叶用尽最后的生命燃烧成一缕缕灿烂，给无数异地的亲朋好友传递温情与祝福，让世界不再孤单。原来只要心心相印，距离永不会阻隔真情;其实只要真情恒久，天涯也不过咫尺比邻。

Leo Tolstoy once said, everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.

He is right. We always have great plans and dreams in our minds… too ready to achieve something grand thatChanges the world or benefits all of mankind .For example; we hate pollution and have made up our minds to find new energy sources that keep the environment clean. Yet we still litter on the ground. We complain about traffic jams, so we plan to build more highways to solve the problem, but it never occurs to us that our failure to follow traffic regulations is the leading cause of this situation. We are so concerned that the violence in the media has a bad impact on our children, we urge the government to set laws to protect them. But, do we, as adults, set a good example for our kids? We use nasty words and even spit on the ground in front of them, I dare to say, we harm more!

In my opinion, before we decide to change the world, we had better change ourselves first. As ordinary individuals, we do not have the power to change the world. But we can change our habit of littering, spitting, cussing, we can respect the environment around us, we must act as good models for our kids.

If each of us does all of these little things, all of us, millions and millions of individuals together, together we will be strong …strong enough to change our world!

So please, the next time you do something, think how your actions influence not only you, but those around you too, especially our children …and perhaps more importantly…our planet!

列夫·托尔斯泰曾说过：每个人都想改变这个世界，但是没有人想到改变自己。

他说的很有道理，我们每个人都心怀伟大时志向，时刻准备去干一番能造福全人类的大事业。比如，我们痛恨环境污染，所以我们下定决心去开发新的更高效更干净的能源来保护我们的环境，但是同时我们却随手乱扔垃圾;我们抱怨大城市的交通堵塞，计划造更多的高速路来解决交通问题，但是我们从来没有想过，如果我们能遵守交通规则话，那么这一问题是不是可以得到很大得缓解呢?我们担心电视电影里面得暴力会对我们得孩子产生不良的影响，于是我们敦促政府通过立法来保护未成年人，但是我们这些大人又做得怎么样呢?我们为我们的下一代做好了表率吗?我们说粗话，甚至在孩子面前抽烟。不客气地说，我们对孩子的不良影响更多!

在我看来，在我们打算改变这个世界之前，我们最好先改变一下自己。作为一个普通人，我们其实没有改变这个世界的能力，但是我可以改变我们随地扔垃圾，随地吐痰的坏习惯， 我们应该学会去保护环境，我们应该为我们的孩子起好的表率作用。

如果我们每个人都能从小事起，那么千千万万个人力量汇聚在一起，那力量是强大的，足以改变这个世界。

朋友，当您在做某一件事情的时候，请您想一想，您的行为会对您周围的人产生怎样的影响， 因为，您的行为不单单影响到您自己，还有您周围的人，更重要的是我们的孩子…甚至我们的世界。

When I was a middle school student, I’ve finished this book in Chinese.But when I read it in English,I really gain something new both in the way of expression and the spirit it shows to us.May be different ages to read the same book we will learn different things from it.At least, for my part, that is true.

Firstly,I would like to review some information about this book.Such as the background,major characters and the topic of it.

The Old Man and the Sea is a story by Ernest Hemingway, written in Cuba in 1951 and published in 1952. It was the last major work of fiction to be produced by Hemingway and published in his lifetime. One of his most famous works, it centers upon Santiago, an aging Cuban fisherman who struggles with a giant marlin far out in the Gulf Stream.

The Old Man and the Sea served to reinvigorate Hemingways literary reputation and prompted a reexamination of his entire body of work. The novella was initially received with much popularity; it restored many readers confidence in Hemingways capability as an author. Its publisher, Scribners, on an early dust jacket, called the novella a "new classic," and many critics favorably compared it with such works as William Faulkners "The Bear" and Herman Melvilles Moby-Dick.

This book gives me a deep impression especially the description about the man’s braveness and persistence.

In this book, in order to suggest the profundity of the old man’s sacrifice and the glory that derives from it, Hemingway purposefully likens Santiago to Christ, who, according to Christian theology, gave his life for the greater glory of humankind. Crucifixion imagery is the most noticeable way in which Hemingway creates the symbolic parallel between Santiago and Christ. When Santiago’s palms are first cut by his fishing line, the reader cannot help but think of Christ suffering his stigmata. Later, when the sharks arrive, Hemingway portrays the old man as a crucified martyr, saying that he makes a noise similar to that of a man having nails driven through his hands. Furthermore, the image of the old man struggling up the hill with his mast across his shoulders recalls Christ’s march toward Calvary. Even the position in which Santiago collapses on his bed—face down with his arms out straight and the palms of his hands up—brings to mind the image of Christ suffering on the cross. Hemingway employs these images in the final pages of the novella in order to link Santiago to Christ, who exemplified transcendence by turning loss into gain, defeat into triumph, and even death into renewed life.

The major characters in this book are also vivid and lively.

Santiago?,the old man of the novella’s title, Santiago is a Cuban fisherman who has had an extended run of bad luck. Despite his expertise, he has been unable to catch a fish for eighty-four days. He is humble, yet exhibits a justified pride in his abilities. His knowledge of the sea and its creatures, and of his craft, is unparalleled and helps him preserve a sense of hope regardless of circumstance.

The marlin?,Santiago hooks the marlin, which we learn at the end of the novella measures eighteen feet, on the first afternoon of his fishing expedition. Manolin?,a boy presumably in his adolescence, Manolin is Santiago’s apprentice and devoted attendant. The old man first took him out on a boat when he was merely five years old. Due to Santiago’s recent bad luck, Manolin’s parents have forced the boy to go out on a different fishing boat. Manolin, however, still cares deeply for the old man, to whom he continues to look as a mentor.

Joe DiMaggio, although DiMaggio never appears in the novel, he plays a significant role nonetheless. Santiago worships him as a model of strength and commitment, and his thoughts turn toward DiMaggio whenever he needs to reassure himself of his own strength. Perico ?,Perico, the reader assumes, owns the bodega in Santiago’s village. He never appears in the novel, but he serves an important role in the fisherman’s life by providing him with newspapers that report the baseball scores. This act establishes him as a kind man who helps the aging Santiago.

Martin,like Perico, Martin, a café owner in Santiago’s village, does not appear in the story. The reader learns of him through Manolin, who often goes to Martin for Santiago’s supper. As the old man says, Martin is a man of frequent kindness who deserves to be repaid.

From the very first paragraph, Santiago is characterized as someone struggling against defeat. He has gone eighty-four days without catching a fish—he will soon pass his own record of eighty-seven days. Almost as a reminder of Santiago’s struggle, the sail of his skiff resembles “the flag of permanent defeat.” But the old man refuses defeat at every turn: he resolves to sail out beyond the other fishermen to where the biggest fish promise to be. He lands the marlin, tying his record of eighty-seven days after a brutal three-day fight, and he continues to ward off sharks from stealing his prey, even though he knows the battle is useless.

Because Santiago is pitted against the creatures of the sea, some readers choose to view the tale as a chronicle of man’s battle against the natural world, but the novella is, more accurately, the story of man’s place within nature. Both Santiago and the marlin display qualities of pride, honor, and bravery, and both are subject to the same eternal law: they must kill or be killed. As Santiago reflects when he watches the weary warbler fly toward shore, where it will inevitably meet the hawk, the world is filled with predators, and no living thing can escape the inevitable struggle that will lead to its death. Santiago lives according to his own observation: “man is not made for defeat . . . [a] man can be destroyed but not defeated.” In Hemingway’s portrait of the world, death is inevitable, but the best men (and animals) will nonetheless refuse to give in to its power. Accordingly, man and fish will struggle to the death, just as hungry sharks will lay waste to an old man’s trophy catch.

The novel suggests that it is possible to transcend this natural law. In fact, the very inevitability of destruction creates the terms that allow a worthy man or beast to transcend it. It is precisely through the effort to battle the inevitable that a man can prove himself. Indeed, a man can prove this determination over and over through the worthiness of the opponents he chooses to face. Santiago finds the marlin worthy of a fight, just as he once found “the great negro of Cienfuegos” worthy. HSantiago, though destroyed at the end of the novella, is never defeated. Instead, he emerges as a hero. Santiago’s struggle does not enable him to change man’s place in the world. Rather, it enables him to meet his most dignified destiny.

While it is certainly true that Santiago’s eighty-four-day run of bad luck is an affront to his pride as a masterful fisherman, and that his attempt to bear out his skills by sailing far into the gulf waters leads to disaster, Hemingway does not condemn his protagonist for being full of pride. On the contrary, Santiago stands as proof that pride motivates men to greatness. Because the old man acknowledges that he killed the mighty marlin largely out of pride, and because his capture of the marlin leads in turn to his heroic transcendence of defeat, pride becomes the source of Santiago’s greatest strength. Without a ferocious sense of pride, that battle would never have been fought, or more likely, it would have been abandoned before the end.

Santiago’s pride also motivates his desire to transcend the destructive forces of nature. Throughout the novel, no matter how baleful his circumstances become, the old man exhibits an unflagging determination to catch the marlin and bring it to shore. When the first shark arrives, Santiago’s resolve is mentioned twice in the space of just a few paragraphs. Even if the old man had returned with the marlin intact, his moment of glory, like the marlin’s meat, would have been short-lived. The glory and honor Santiago accrues comes not from his battle itself but from his pride and determination to fight.

Santiago dreams his pleasant dream of the lions at play on the beaches of Africa three times. The first time is the night before he departs on his three-day fishing expedition, the second occurs when he sleeps on the boat for a few hours in the middle of his struggle with the marlin, and the third takes place at the very end of the book. In fact, the sober promise of the triumph and regeneration with which the novella closes is supported by the final image of the lions. Because Santiago associates the lions with his youth, the dream suggests the circular nature of life. Additionally, because Santiago imagines the lions, fierce predators, playing, his dream suggests a harmony between the opposing forces—life and death, love and hate, destruction and regeneration—of nature.

This book gives me courage of conquering all kinds of difficulties .And I have the belief that the most beautiful thing is the process that we make our best to achieve our dream,and never say give up .

I think the right thing to do is help the elderly man.We shouldn’t even pause to think before we help.Since we were small,we have been brought up to be respectful to our elders,and to treat others how we would treat ourselves.When people are hurt,we should help them immediately,and not waste time thinking about whether he is faking it.It doesn’t matter in the end.As long as you have a pure heart,no harm will come to you.

Dear Tony,

Chong yang, the traditional Chinese festival for the elderly, is coming around. We are planning to visit

Nursing Home to celebrate the special day, and we would like to invite students from your school to join us.

We have planned several activities. When we get there, we will visit the elderly in their rooms in groups,

presenting them with flowers and self-made cards to show our respect and love. Then we will do some

cleaning and washing for them wi th the help of the nurses.

As some old people feel lonely, we may chat with them about their old days, changes of our city, or

anything they are interested in. We may also give them some performances: singing, dancing, and so on.

I am sure we will both gain a better understanding of the elderly in China. If you have any suggestions,

please let us know.

Looking forward to your early reply.

Yours,

Li Hua

The International Childrens Day (ICD) is celebrated in numerous countries, usually (but not always) on June 1 each year.

The ICD had its origin in the World Conference for the Wellbeing of Children in Geneva, Switzerland in 1925. It is not clear as to why June 1 was chosen as the ICD: one theory has it that the Chinese consul-general in San Francisco (USA) gathered a number of Chinese orphans to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival in 1925, which happened to be on June 1 that year, and also coincided with the conference in Geneva.

June 1 has since been observed as the ICD by numerous countries, especially by Communist countries; in the Western world the ICD is usually celebrated on other days of the year (if at all)， and there is often little public awareness about these celebrations. (See the section on Germany below for further discussions.) Consequently there is sometimes a misperception that June 1 as the ICD was a Communist invention. Nonetheless, in recent years even some groups within the United States started observing the ICD on June 1.

今天，我看了一本书，它的名字叫做《老人与海》，这本书是美国的海明威写的，这本书的主人公叫做桑提阿果爷爷，就让我给你们讲讲这个故事吧！

小说的素材来自于真正的故事：桑提阿果爷爷独自在海上打鱼，他已经有好久没钓到一条鱼了，有一天，一只大鱼咬住了他的鱼钩，桑提阿果爷爷想把它拉上来，可拉不动，那条鱼带着桑提阿果爷爷一直游啊游，大鱼游得精疲力尽了，桑提阿果爷爷把大鱼的鱼头和上半身绑在小船边上。但是桑提阿果爷爷在回去的路上遇到了鲨鱼，老人使出了浑身力气和鲨鱼搏斗，鲨鱼把能吃到的鱼肉都吃了，回到家时，大鱼只剩下不到一半，却还有800磅左右。

这本书让我受益匪浅。桑提阿果爷爷不被任何困难所压服，尽自己最大的努力与生活中的磨难做不屈不挠的斗争。他说：“一个人并不是生来就要给打败的，你尽可以消灭他，却不能打败他。”这种永不言败的硬骨头精神深深地刻在了我的心上，有也要像桑提阿果爷爷那样，永不言败。

Old People in America

In the old days,American families were bigger. People had more children,and grandparents and great-grandparents lived with their families. But now, families are smaller, and many old people

live alone. At the same time, Americans are living longer and longer. The number of old people is always growing.

Some old people like to stay in their old homes. They do not want to move from their old homes. They do not want to move from their hometown. They are near their .friends and family. But some do not have a lot of friends. They want to meet new people. They want to live in a quiet place with other people of their age.

A large number of old people are moving to the South. It is warm there. You do not have to walk through the snow in winter,or pay a lot of money for heating.

A large number of old people are moving to the South only for old people. One of these is Sun City, near Phoenix, Arizona. All the families in Sun City must have one person over the age of 50 ,and children under 18 years old cant live there.

美国的老人

以前美国都是大家庭，Old People in America(美国的老人)，四六级写作《Old People in America(美国的老人)》。人们孩子很多，祖父母和曾祖父母都和家人在一起生活。但现在，家庭越来越小，许多老人独自生活。与此同时，美国人越活越长。老年人的数目总在不断增长。

有些老人喜欢呆在他们原来的房子里。他们不愿意从旧房子里搬出来。他们不想离开家乡。他们想住在朋友和家人附近。但是有些老人朋友不多，他们想结交新人，他们想和其他同龄的老人共同居住在一个僻静的地方。

很多老人正在迁往南部，那里天气暖和。冬天的时候不需要在雪中走路，也不需要交大笔取暖费。

很多老人正在迁往只允许老人居住的南部城市。其中之一就是亚利桑那州菲尼克斯附近的太阳城。太阳城居住的所有家庭都必须有一个成员在50岁以上，18岁以下的孩子能住在那里。

In ancient times, people called the six Yin number, number nine is called Yang. September 9th on this day, t referred to as double ninth, is a festival with a long history in liuxue86.com China.

This afternoon, after the duty, I will take bus 43 home together with my classmates. The car is very crowded, I very not easy to find a seat, a bottom to sit down, can have a rest.

Car just after a standing, however, there is a old man get on the bus, he slightly hunched, probably more than 60 years old. I immediately thought of to offered his seat to the old man, but on second thought, their good is not easy to just sit down, let the blame its a pity.

How to do? Is to make it or not? I think, as a young pioneers, if I dont let the red scarf and how to live up to my chest? No longer want to, I must let. So I stood up and said: "grandpa, you sit!" See grandpa smiled, then slowly sit down, and said to me: "what a good boy!" After I have listened to, the in the mind also happy, because I did it.

Although I lost a seat for me to rest, but, I have had words of praise and happy mood, this is how happy ah!

Aged respected is we the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation, we must let this spirit continue to carry forward!

After I read the book that is called “The old man and the sea” I was deeply moved by the old man and his spirit.

The book written by Hemingway tells us a story that an old man whose name is Santiago went out to do some fishing on the sea on his own but down on his luck he hadn’t caught any fish for 84 days. Next day he caught a huge marlin which is bigger than his boat and took a formidable battle with it. He beat it at the end. When he was on the way home the smells of blood of the marlin draw a lot of sharks’ attention and they fought for it. In order to protect the marlin and him the old man tried his best to fight with them. After a cruel fight he won it and came back home tiredly. Although he only got a skeleton of the giant marlin at last he is also a great hero in many people’s heart.

In the article the old man is a great man. Although he failed for many time in his life he never gave up. He is a steel-willing man who insisted his dream and work hard. You can destroy him but you can’t beat him. Whatever he faced to he would never yield to the difficult which shows a strong spirit.

In our lives I think we should learn something from the old man which will make us have a more valuable life. Whenever and wherever we meet trouble we should never give up and try our best to overcome it. We should always keep on our dream and make it come true. Every one has his backbone which can’t be bended by anyone which is very important for everyone in his whole life. If we meet difficulty in our life we should face it bravely and work out some way to solve the problem whatever would happen at last. We can be destroyed but we can’t be beat by anything or anyone. If you failed for many times in your life you wouldn’t surrender because if you try to do it you may succeed in your life but if you do not do it you would not be succeed forever. Everyone has his advantages and disadvantages in his life but we should face to our disadvantages and we must be confident which would also make us be confident of our life. We should have faith in what we do in our life we will have a more beautiful life in the future and our dream will come true. We should pay more attention to what we do during our life rather than what we will get at the end because I think it is more important than any thing you get finally. If you enjoy you life not something you get you will have a meaningful life and a noble spirit. It will hurt you when you pay more attention to what you get in the future. It will also make you do something wrong which is bad for other people our society and our country.

I’m impressed by the sentence which is “We can be destroyed but we can’t be beat.” I think everyone should do it no matter what happen in our life. This book makes me know something I didn’t know in the past. The book and the old man have a great influence in my life. I love this book.

Youth Day (青年节) in the Peoples Republic of China is on May 4. It was established in December 1949 by the Government Administration Council to commemorate the beginning of the May Fourth Movement in 1919. This day is known as …

May Fourth Movement

Chinese intellectual revolution and sociopolitical reform movement (1917 – 21)。 In 1915 young intellectuals inspired by Chen Duxiu began agitating for the reform and strengthening of Chinese society through acceptance of Western science, democracy, and schools of thought, one objective being to make China strong enough to resist Western imperialism. On May 4, 1919, reformist zeal found focus in a protest by Beijings students against the Versailles Peace Conferences decision to transfer former German concessions in China to Japan. After more than a month of demonstrations, strikes, and boycotts of Japanese goods, the government gave way and refused to sign the peace treaty with Germany. The movement spurred the successful reorganization of the Nationalist Party and gave birth to the Chinese Communist Party. See also Treaty of Versailles.
