旅行让我成长

I am a girl of 18. Just like all the youngsters of this age, I consider friends almost as the whole of my life. It seems that I am lucky to be born as an open and easy-going girl, so you can imagine how many friends I will have. As a matter of fact, I'm really fortunate to have a plenty of friends. We laugh together , weep together, like brothers and sisters. The feeling of that is comfortable and fantastic. I like to participate in sport games with the boys, such as playing basketball in the gym, kicking football in the playground, swimming in the pool and that really brings me a lot of pleasures. I usually communicate with the girls, talking about the latest teleplays or in which shop there are bargains on sale worth purchasing. With so many friends around me, I never feel lonely, and the happiness is growing all the time. Sometimes we may have a small conflict as well, but we never exaggerate it and will always forget it quickly. We all know the biggest ship is Titanic but it sank, so the best ship is still friendship. I love my friends just as to like my own eyes. They are a big treasure in my life which is worthy to cherish forever. May the flowers of the friendship boom in every four seasons!

我是一个18岁的女孩。就像这个年龄段的所有年轻人一样，我几乎把朋友视为我生命的全部。我似乎很幸运，生来就是一个开朗随和的女孩，所以你可以想象我会有多少朋友。事实上，我也确实有很多朋友。我们一起笑，一起哭，就像兄弟姐妹一样。那种感觉既舒适又美妙。我喜欢和男孩们一起参加体育比赛，比如在体育馆打篮球，在操场踢足球，在游泳池游泳，这真的给我带来了很多乐趣。我通常会和女孩们交流，谈论最新的电视剧或哪家商店有值得购买的特价商品。有这么多朋友在我身边，我从不感到孤独，幸福感与日俱增。有时我们可能也会有一个小冲突，但我们从不夸大它，总是会很快忘记它。我们都知道最大的船是泰坦尼克号，但它沉没了，所以最好的船还是友谊号。我爱我的朋友就像喜欢我自己的眼睛一样。它们是我生命中的一大财富，值得永远珍惜。愿友谊之花每年盛开！

Many Chinese students who have studied English for more than ten years are still unable to speak English fluently when they meet foreigners. They seem to have mastered the basic language structure, but talking in English will make them feel uneasy. They are afraid that others will find out their mistakes.

许多学习了十多年英语的中国学生在遇到外国人时仍然无法流利地说英语。他们似乎已经掌握了基本的语言结构，但用英语交谈会让他们感到不安。他们害怕别人会发现他们的错误。

Many students who can't speak English well can write English well, which proves that they can't organize their ideas in English. The problem is that they lack practice and confidence.

许多英语说不好的学生可以很好地写英语，这证明他们不能用英语组织自己的想法。问题是他们缺乏实践和信心。

Why are you afraid? Are you afraid of foreigners who talk to you? Don't be shy. They won't laugh at you because you make a small mistake. The best way to get rid of this trouble is to speak more and learn to speak. I believe that constant practice will help you succeed.

你为什么害怕？你害怕和你说话的外国人吗？不要害羞。他们不会因为你犯了一个小错误而嘲笑你。摆脱这种麻烦的最好方法是多说话，学会说话。我相信不断的练习会帮助你成功。

This year's winter vacation is an extraordinary one. Due to the novel coronavirus, the school hours are delayed. In order to ensure the normal progress of teaching, the school launched the network course. Today is the fourth day of online teaching. The students have gradually adapted to this new teaching method, and have not slackened their study due to the supervision of the teacher. They actively answer the teacher's questions in class, listen carefully, and finish their homework on time after class. The teachers who become the "anchor" take turns to complete the teaching of various subjects. They are very active in class, attentive in courseware preparation and in place in knowledge summary. I feel that this online teaching method can not only protect the safety of students and teachers, but also further stimulate students' interest in learning, so as to improve the efficiency of learning.

今年的寒假是一个非同寻常的假期。由于新型冠状病毒，开学时间延迟了。为了保证教学的正常进行，学校推出了网络课程。今天是在线教学的第四天。学生们逐渐适应了这种新的教学方法，并没有因为老师的监督而放松学习。他们在课堂上积极回答老师的问题，认真听讲，课后按时完成作业。成为“主播”的老师们轮流完成各个科目的教学。他们在课堂上非常积极，在课件准备和知识总结方面非常专注。我觉得这种在线教学方式不仅可以保护学生和老师的安全，还可以进一步激发学生的学习兴趣，从而提高学习效率。

A novel coronavirus epidemic caused by pneumonia in 2020 was enveloped in China. People began to stay indoors and life became oppressive. In this context, the Ministry of Education issued a notice of "no suspension of classes", officially opening up a new way of learning, online teaching.

2020年，中国爆发了一场由肺炎引起的新型冠状病毒疫情。人们开始呆在室内，生活变得压抑。在此背景下，教育部发布了“停课不停学”的通知，正式开辟了一种新的学习方式 —— 在线教学。

Every day in nail live group classes, I think this teaching method has become lively, my interest in learning has also increased a lot. Teachers teach each lesson to us in the form of courseware in the live room. The knowledge framework of the whole lesson becomes clear and clear, which is very conducive to our acceptance and digestion.

每天在钉钉直播小组课上，我觉得这种教学方法变得生动了，我的学习兴趣也增加了很多。老师在直播间以课件的形式向我们讲授每一课。整节课的知识框架变得清晰明了，这非常有利于我们的接受和消化。

Secondly, this way has broken through the original teaching mode. In school, there is only one teacher for each subject, but in online teaching, many different teachers are our teachers, so that we can fully understand the teaching styles and characteristics of different teachers, and then we can know the teaching methods we are interested in.

其次，这种方式突破了原有的教学模式。在学校，每个科目只有一名老师，但在在线教学中，许多不同的老师是我们的老师，这样我们可以充分了解不同老师的教学风格和特点，然后我们可以知道我们感兴趣的教学方法。

Moreover, in online teaching, each teacher only needs to have one or two classes a day, which makes the teachers have enough time to grade and write comments for the students, so that the students can understand the shortcomings and highlights of their own work, and then know which direction we can work in.

而且，在在线教学中，每个老师每天只需要上一两节课，这使得老师有足够的时间为学生批改作业及写评语，让学生了解自己的不足和亮点，然后知道我们可以朝哪个方向努力。

All in all, we are interested in learning in this winter. "If winter comes, will spring be far behind?" I believe that as long as we carefully carry out online learning and always maintain our confidence in learning, there will always be a ray of sunshine, which will break through the haze of the epidemic and bring warm spring. When spring comes, we will get together on campus.

总而言之，我们对这个冬天的学习很感兴趣。“如果冬天来了，春天还会远吗？”我相信，只要我们认真开展在线学习，始终保持学习的信心，总会有一缕阳光，它会冲破疫情的阴霾，带来温暖的春天。当春天来临时，我们将在校园里相聚。

Time past quickly. My three years of high school life is coming to an end. In retrospect, I have a lot of memories of my English learning.

时间过得真快。我三年的高中生活即将结束。回想起来，我对我的英语学习有很多记忆。

When I entered middle school, I had a lot of difficulties in English. I can't understand the teacher in class, and I can't master words and phrases. There was a time when I wanted to give it up. Later, with the help of the teachers and classmates, I listened to the teacher carefully in class, insisted on reading English every day and said as much as possible. My English has made great progress step by step.

当我进入中学时，我的英语有很多困难。我在课堂上听不懂老师的课，也不能掌握单词和短语。有一段时间我想放弃它。后来在老师和同学的帮助下，上课认真听老师讲课，每天坚持读英语，尽量多说。我的英语一步一步取得了很大的进步。

In short, only by cultivating interest in learning English can we learn English well.

总之，只有培养学习英语的兴趣，才能学好英语。

We cannot travel every path. Success must be won along one line. We must make our business the one life purpose to which every other must be subordinate.

我们不可能把每条路都走一遍。成功必须执着于一条道路才能获得成功。我们必须有一个终生追求的目标，其他的则从属于这个目标。

I hate a thing done by halves. If it be right, do it boldly. If it be wrong, leave it undone.

我痛恨做事半途而废。如果这件事是对的，就大胆勇敢地去做；如果这件事不对，就不要去做。

The men of history were not perpetually looking into the mirror to make sure of their own size. Absorbed in their work they did it. They did it so well that the wondering world sees them to be great, and labeled them accordingly.

历史长河中的伟人并不是靠终日瞻观镜中的自己来衡量自身的形象的。他们的形象来自对事业全身心的投入与追求。他们是如此的卓越超凡，于是芸芸众生觉得他们很伟大，并因此称他们为伟人。

To live with a high ideal is a successful life. It is not what one does, but what one tries to do, that makes a man strong. "Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty." it has been said, with equal truth it may be said, "Unceasing effort is the price of success." If we do not work with our might, others will and they will outstrip us in the race, and pluck the prize from our grasp.

怀着崇高的理想生活是一种成功的生活。使人坚强的不是一个人所做的，而是一个人所努力做的。有人说过：“永远的警惕是自由的代价。”，同样的道理也可以说：“不懈的努力是成功的代价”。如果我们不竭尽全力，其他人就会在比赛中超过我们，并从我们手中夺走奖品。

Success grows less and less dependent on luck and chance. Self-distrust is the cause of most of our failures.

成功越来越不依赖于运气和巧合。丧失自信是我们失败的主要原因。

The great and indispensable help to success is character. Character is a crystallized habit, the result of training and conviction. Every character is influenced by heredity, environment and education. But these apart, if every man were not to be a great extent the architect of his own character, he would be a fatalist, and irresponsible creature of circumstances.

性格是成功不可或缺的重要因素。性格是一种固化成形的习惯，是训练和信念的结果。每个性格都受到遗传、环境和教育的影响。但除此之外，如果每个人在很大程度上都不是自己性格的建筑师，他将是宿命论者，是环境的不负责任的产物。

Instead of saying that man is a creature of circumstance, it would be nearer the mark to say that man is the architect of circumstance. From the same materials one man builds palaces, another hovel. Bricks and mortar are mortar and bricks, until the architect can make them something else.

与其说人是环境的创造者，不如说人是环境的建筑师更贴切些。同样的材料，有人能用其建造出宫殿，而有人只能建成简陋的小屋。在建筑师将其变成他物之前，砖泥依然是砖泥。

The true way to gain much is never to desire to gain too much.

想得到的多就永远不要奢望太多。

Wise men don't care for what they can't have.

智者不会在意他们得不到的东西。
