成人高考优秀英语作文【汇编20篇】

Im Li Hua from Beijing I-Iongxing Middle School. Im very happy to learn that youre going to stay with my family while youre in Beijing.

While you are here, well provide you with a room of your own with a bed, a desk, a couple of chairs and a TV. Youll also have your own bathroom. Our school is quite close to our home. So we could go to school together by bike. At noon well eat at the school dining hall. Im sure youll like the delicious Chinese food there,and enjoy talking with friends over lunch. Classes in our school usually finish at 4 in the afternoon. You can then join other students in playing ball games or swimming. Itll be a lot of fun.

If you have any questions or requests, please let me know. Well try our best to make your stay here in Beijing a pleasant experience.

Best wishses !

In my life I have met many people who are really worth my recalling. But perhaps the most unforgettable person I ever knew is my Chinese language teacher.

What frequently brings back memories of my school teacher is his special qualities. First of all, I was attracted by his lively wit. I remember we always long for his class with great eagerness because his lecture were humorously delivered, never failing to provoke loud laughs. Second, he gave us the greatest gift a teacher can offer-- an awakening of a passion for learning. He not only led us to an appreciation of the beauty and perfection of Chinese and literature, but also aroused our great interest in exploring something deeper in this field. Finally, I was deeply impressed by the respect he showed for us, for he treated us like friends rather than students.

Although it is nearly 10 years since I attended his last class, he is the talk of our old classmates, and I know part of him has already stayed in my heart.

随着越来越多的省市进行自主命题，开放式、半开放式作文愈加受到青睐。因为此种题型可以更准确地考查考生是否能使用英语准确表达自己的观点，充分体现了对实际解决问题的能力的考查。此类作文多为议论文性质，所以议论文的写作显得愈加重要根据议论文的特点，最好采用三段式论证法，第一段提出问题(总写)，即主题段，陈述自己的观点;第二段用论据进行正反两个方面的论证(分写)，即拓展段，摆出支撑论点的论据;第三段得出相应的结论(总写)，为总结段，总结自己的观点。类似中文里(总——分——总)的写法。这种写法可以使文章层次分明，结构清晰。

1.在议论文三段式里，首先要写好开头，好的开头是成功的一半。开头写得好，会给阅卷者留下美好的印象，有吸引力。任何一篇文章都应该做到主题鲜明，中心突出，提出论点要开门见山，紧扣题目。高考作文篇幅短小，因此开头不能冗长拖沓，务必要点题，即说清楚文章的人物、事件和作者的观点。

2.要深化中间段。中意部分是文章的主体，需要用具体的事例、细节来阐释主题句，因此中意的部分应该是具体的、详细的，不可泛泛而谈或点到即止，安需要围绕主题句的内容而展开，不能谈论与之无关的东西，即论述主题要具体而又有说服力。常用方法有：比较法、举例法、归纳法、推理法、对照法和驳论法。

3.把好结尾关，避免虎头蛇尾，使结尾缺乏力量。好的结尾会深化主题，进一步强化阅卷老师的良好印象。文章最后可以回到开头提出的中心思想上，达到再次肯定强调的效果;或者引用格言或名人名言总结全文，即言简赅又有较强的说明力;也可用几句话概括全文的内容，并进一步肯定文章的中心思想或作者观点。

4.注意一些关联词的使用，使文章更连贯顺畅、条理清晰。

表因果的：as, as a result, because of, for, due to, owing to, thanks to, etc.

表意思的：in one’s opinion, have different ideas on, my idea/view is, it strikes me that, etc.

表比较的：unlike, in the same way, on the contrary, etc.

表结论的：in brief, to end/ sum up, in other words, in conclusion, in short, in summary, etc.

5.注意文章的层次和段落。

为了更好地考试中运用三段式的写作手法，考生在平时的学习中要进行严格、系统的训练，练习题材要丰富，选票质量要高，讲求写作效果，训练时要限时完成，只有严格的训练，才能确保考试中的超水平发挥。

【典例1】根据以下关键字，并谈谈你对学生在业余时间参加过多的补习和培训的看法。

【范文】

We want to have our own time.

As we all know, today students have more and more homework. They spend their spare time doing the homework and taking lessons. Therefore, students have no time for themselves. In my opinion, students should have more time to develop themselves.

First, students should have time to relax and play. It doesn’t mean that they will waste time. They also can study and learn from playing. After doing homework for a long time, it is necessary to have some time to relax. As saying goes, “All work and no play make Jack a dull boy.” We don’t want to dull boys. Second, we should have our own time in order to make our body strong enough. This can be helpful in our further study.

In short, I want to say, students should have their own time to develop themselves.

专家点评：这篇范文充分体现了议论文的三段式的精髓，从以下几个方面我们可以充分感受到它和闪亮之处。

1.结构合理，富有条理性。文章分为三段。第一段简要描述了图画内容，直接点题，观点明确;第二段提出了自己的观点并列瘵出论据支撑论点;第三段简明扼要地概括了自己的观点。

2、开门见山，没有在图画上费太多笔墨，简要描述后直接引入主题：Students should have more time to develop themselves.

3、文章描述得非常清晰，有层次感，逻辑性强。段落间和句子间连贯自然，过渡巧妙。作者充分地发挥了连词及副词的功能，例如：as we all know, therefore, in my opinion, first, second, in short等。

谋篇布局

1.仔细审题，确定体裁格式，选择文章主体时态，弄清中心人称。

2.确定文章的中心论点。

3.围绕中心论点列出提纲，选好论据。

4.选择合适的短语与句型表达论点与论据。

5.利用所列短语、句型组句成文，打好草稿。要避免出现汉语式的表达，根据自己所掌握的词汇，在比较有把握的情况下可以大胆使用较高级词汇，使文章增色。

6.将草稿写到卷面上并再次审视文章结构。

7.最后做一次全面检查，注意文章的文体、格式是否正确，要点是否全面，是否有明显的语法错误和低级的失误，是否有单词摭写错误，字母大小写是不是恰当，词数是否符合要求。

Dear editor,

I’m writing to tell you about the discussion we have had about whether an

entrance fee should be charged for parks. 60% of us schoolmates think t hat an

entrance fee do not meet people’s expectations, for a park is considered to be a

place where the public can have a good time when they are not busy either a t

home or at work. If an entrance fee must be paid by the visitors for a park, it

will be necessary to build a gate and surrounding walls. In the end a city will

take on a bad look. 40% of us schoolmates think that an entrance fee can be

accepted, but it must not be too expensive. The money from ticket selling can be

used for paying the gardeners in the par k and buying some other kinds of

flowers and trees.

With regard to myself, I think an entrance fee is useful, for it can be

used to protect a park. Do we share the same opinion, dear editor?

Yours truly,

When we have something annoy us, we will naturally to find someone to talk about it, the first choice is friend. We will not talk about it in front of our parents, because we don’t want them to worry about us. Friend is so important in our life, we have many friends, we will share our happiness and sorrow with them, we hang out together, in a word, friends are part of our life. What will happened if someone have no friend? We hear from the news that the crime people are isolated by others, most of them have no friends, their view point about the world is distorted. Without friends, people have no where to relieve their emotion, the long time’s depression of the emotion distract people from the normal life. So friends are very important, we can’t live without friends.

【参考翻译】

当我们有烦恼的时候，自然地，我们会找人来谈谈，朋友是第一选择。我们不会在父母面前谈论烦恼，因为我们不想让他们担心。朋友在我们的生命中很重要，我们有很多朋友，和他们分享我们的喜怒哀乐，一起出去晃荡，总的来说，朋友是我们生活中的一部分。如果没有朋友会变得怎样呢?我们从新闻上看到犯罪的人被人隔离，他们大部分人没有朋友，他们的世界观是扭曲的。没有朋友，人们就无处释放情绪，长期压抑的情绪让人们脱离正常生活。因此朋友很重要，我们不能没有朋友。

正月初一，是我国的传统节日“春节”。早晨，天刚亮，我就被“噼噼啪啪”的鞭炮声吵醒了。这预示着，正月初一已经到了!

我急忙穿好了衣服，跑出了房门。呵，院里一片热闹的景象：大人们正在放各种各样的鞭炮、大炮、礼炮等等，院子里成了炮的海洋。小孩子们也有一席之地，大家聚在一起，放起了旋转炮，还伴有隐隐约约的绿色、红色、黄色和“哧哧”的响声，有些小孩子有点害怕，就放起了喷花炮。看到这里，我的手痒痒了，急忙回去拿鞭炮……

回到家，家里人都在包饺子，全家人和谐、幸福，多么温暖的一家人!

这一天，我过得很快乐，除夕之夜，我们家更是欢乐多多!

除夕之夜，8点来了，春节联欢晚会也开始了。看着一个个搞笑的小品，听着一首首动听的歌曲，我们全家八口人，一边拍手，一边笑。啊!我多么希望我们家天天都这样!我好期盼过年，我好期盼过春节呀!

过春节了，我长大一岁，我觉得今年长大一岁后，我应该更加努力学习，更加孝敬父母。我一定会做到的，我一定会做到的!我不会让父母失望。

最后，祝大家天天快乐，天天如意

1918年11月11日，延续4年之久的第一次世界大战以英、美、法等国的胜利和德、奥等国的失败而告结束。1919年1月，获胜的协约国在巴黎凡尔赛宫召开和平会议。中华民国作为战胜国参加会议。中华民国代表在会上提出废除外国在华特权，取消二十一条等正当要求，均遭拒绝。会议竟决定日本接管德国在华的各种特权。对这丧权辱国的条约，中华民国代表居然准备签字承认。消息传来，举国震怒，群情激愤。以学生为先导的五四爱国运动就如火山爆发般地开始了。

In November 11, 1918, the first World War lasted for 4 years in Britain, America, France and other countries and the victory of Germany, Austria and other countries come to an end in failure. 1919 January, winning xiediguo held in the Palace of Versailles in Paris peace conference. The Republic of China as a victorious nation to attend the meeting. The representative of China at the proposed abolition of privileges in China and foreign countries, cancel twenty-one legitimate demands were rejected. Japan has decided to take over the meeting in Germanys privileges in china. To humiliate the country and forfeit its sovereignty of this treaty, the representative of the Republic of China was prepared to recognize the signature. When the news came out, the country burning, burning with indignation. The student led five four patriotic movement like a volcano began.

5月4日下午，北京3000多名学生在天安门前集会游行，他们高呼：“还我青岛”“收回山东权利”、“拒绝在巴黎和会上签字”、“废除二十一条”、“抵制日货”、“宁肯玉碎，勿为瓦全”、“外争国权，内惩国贼”等口号，并且要求惩办交通总长曹汝霖、币制局总裁陆宗舆、驻日公使章宗祥，呼吁各界人士行动起来，反对帝国主义的侵略行径，保卫中国的领土和主权。这一运动得到的工人和各阶层人士的声援和支持，上海、南京等地的工人纷纷举行罢工或示威。在全国人民的压力下，北洋政府被迫释放被捕学生，罢免曹汝霖等人的职务，并指令巴黎参加会议的代表拒绝在和约上签字。

The afternoon of May 4th, more than 3000 students in Beijing shouting at them in front of the Tiananmen demonstrations,: "I also Qingdao" "Shandong," refused to withdraw the right "in Paris and will sign", "the abolition of the twenty-one", "boycott Japanese goods," "would rather die, not for your guns", "defend our sovereignty, punish traitor" and other slogans, and for the punishment of traffic chief Cao Rulin, President of monetary Bureau Lu Zongyu, Minister Zhang Zongxiang, calls for action, fight against imperialist aggression, defend the territorial integrity and sovereignty Chinese.

In the country under the pressure of the people, the government was forced to release the arrested students, and others recall Cao Rulins position, and ordered the Paris representatives attending the meeting refused to sign the peace treaty.

为了继承和发扬“五四”运动以来中国青年光荣的革命传统，1939年，陕甘宁边区的西北青年救国联合会规定5月4日为青年节。1949年12月，中央人民政府政务院正式宣布这一规定。

In order to inherit and carry forward the "five four" youth movement Chinese glorious revolutionary tradition, in 1939, the Shaanxi Gansu Ningxia border region of the Northwest China Youth Federation provides for the May 4th Youth day. In 1949 December, the Central Peoples government officially announced the provisions.

碎片阅读的好处

Many people read on digital devices like cell phones and e-books. The fast pace of life leaves many people no time to sit and read a whole book, so making use of fragmented time to read is sure to be a trend. Fragmented reading has its advantages. People can get hold of large amounts of information, knowledge, and entertainment in a short time. Digital reading is faster and more interactive than traditional deep reading.

Fragmented reading makes it harder for people to reflect on what they read. People may not bother to remember facts because they know they can always just search for answers online. It is important to read quality books in a deeper way, even if that means forcing yourself to do so. We read not only for knowledge and for practical use, but also for spiritual satisfaction.

[高考英语满分作文写给杰夫的一封信

导语：在我看来，生活在信息时代，如果我们不知道互联网语言，我们似乎落后于时代。下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的优秀英语作文，欢迎阅读与借鉴，谢谢!

目前，一些诸如GG、MM、 Xia Mi 等网络语言在青少年中极为盛行，并且出现在家庭作业报告，甚至全国入学考试的作文中。请你以 “Should Internet Slang Be Prohibited (禁止)?”为题，根据下表内容用英语写一篇短文，并谈谈你自己的看法。

注意：

1. 短文开头已经给出，不计入总词数; 2. 词数：100-120左右

Should Internet Slang Be Prohibited?

At present， Internet Slang， such as “GG， MM， Xia Mi”， has become popular among the teenagers.

There are different opinions on Internet Slang. Some students think Internet Slang is vivid， fashionable and full of humor and intelligence. Besides， it makes chatting on the Internet quicker.

However， some other students think Internet Slang lacks depth of thought and is too simple. Also， it is hard to understand and not accepted by most people. The words sometimes might make people confused， even resulting in misunderstanding.

Every coin has two sides. In my opinion， living in the Information Age， if we don’t know the Internet Slang， we seem to fall behind the times. It will be OK as long as these terms are used correctly in proper situations. ​

【参考译文】

应该禁止网络语言吗?

目前，网络语言，如“GG，MM，夏咪”，在青少年中已经流行起来。

关于网络语言有不同的看法。一些学生认为网络俚语生动，时尚，充满幽默和智慧。此外，它使上网聊天更快。

然而，另一些学生认为网络语言缺乏思想深度，过于简单。此外，它是很难理解和不被大多数人接受。这些话有时会使人迷惑，甚至造成误解。

每件事情都有两面性。在我看来，生活在信息时代，如果我们不知道互联网语言，我们似乎落后于时代。只要这些术语在适当的场合正确使用，就可以了。

写作的“七项基本原则”：

一、 长 短 句原则

工作还得一张一驰呢，老让读者读长句，累死人!写一个短小精辟的句子，相反，却可以起到画龙点睛的作用。而且如果我们把短句放在段首或者段末，也可以揭示主题：

Asa creature, I eat; as a man, I read. Although one action is to meet theprimary need of my body and the other is to satisfy the intellectualneed of mind, they are in a way quite similar.

如此可见，长短句结合，抑扬顿挫，岂不爽哉?牢记!

强烈建议：在文章第一段(开头)用一长一短，且先长后短;在文章主体部分，要先用一个短句解释主要意思，然后在阐述几个要点的时候采用先短后长的句群形式，定会让主体部分妙笔生辉!文章结尾一般用一长一短就可以了。

二、 主 题 句原则

国有其君，家有其主，文章也要有其主。否则会给人造成“群龙无首”之感!相信各位读过一些破烂文学，故意把主体隐藏在文章之内，结果造成我们稀里糊涂!不知所云!所以奉劝各位一定要写一个主题句，放在文章的开头(保险型)或者结尾，让读者一目了然，必会平安无事!

特别提示：隐藏主体句可是要冒险的!

To begin with, you must work hard at your lessons and be fully prepared before the exam(主题句). Without sufficient preparation, you can hardly expect to answer all the questions correctly.

三、 一 二 三原则

领导讲话总是第一部分、第一点、第二点、第三点、第二部分、第一点 如此罗嗦。可毕竟还是条理清楚。考官们看文章也必然要通过这些关键性的“标签”来判定你的文章是否结构清楚，条理自然。破解方法很简单，只要把下面任何一组的词汇加入到你的几个要点前就清楚了。

1)first, second, third, last(不推荐，原因：俗)

2)firstly, secondly, thirdly, finally(不推荐，原因：俗)

读: 525次 大小: 39KB(共8页)

3)the first, the second, the third, the last(不推荐，原因：俗)

4)in the first place, in the second place, in the third place, lastly(不推荐，原因：俗)

5)to begin with, then, furthermore, finally(强烈推荐)

6)to start with, next, in addition, finally(强烈推荐)

7)first and foremost, besides, last but not least(强烈推荐)

8)most important of all, moreover, finally

关于学习英语的好处英语作文 9)on the one hand, on the other hand(适用于两点的情况)

10)for one thing, for another thing(适用于两点的情况)

建议：不仅仅在写作中注意，平时说话的时候也应该条理清楚!

四、 短语优先原则

写作时，尤其是在考试时，如果使用短语，有两个好处：其一、用短语会使文章增加亮点，如果老师们看到你的文章太简单，看不到一个自己不认识的短语，必然会看你低一等。相反，如果发现亮点—精彩的短语，那么你的文章定会得高分了。其二、关键时刻思维短路，只有凑字数，怎么办?用短语是一个办法!比如：

I cannot bear it.

可以用短语表达：I cannot put up with it.

I want it.

可以用短语表达：I am looking forward to it.

这样字数明显增加，表达也更准确。

五、 多实少虚原则

原因很简单，写文章还是应该写一些实际的东西，不要空话连篇。这就要求一定要多用实词，少用虚词。我这里所说的虚词就是指那些比较大的词。比如我们说一个很好的时候，不应该之说nice这样空洞的词，应该使用一些诸如generous, humorous, interesting, smart,

gentle, warm-hearted, hospital 之类的形象词。再比如：

走出房间，general的词是：walk out of the room

但是小偷走出房间应该说：slip out of the room

小姐走出房间应该说：sail out of the room

小孩走出房间应该说：dance out of the room

老人走出房间应该说：stagger out of the room

所以多用实词，少用虚词，文章将会大放异彩!

六、 多变句式原则

1)加法(串联)

都希望写下很长的句子，像个老外似的，可就是怕写错，怎么办，最保险的写长句的方法就是这些，可以在任何句子之间加and, 但最好是前后的句子又先后关系或者并列关系。比如说：

I enjor music and he is fond of playing guitar.

如果是二者并列的，我们可以用一个超级句式：

Not only the fur coat is soft, but it is also warm.

其它的短语可以用：

besides, furthermore, likewise, moreover

2)转折(拐弯抹角)

批评某人缺点的时候，我们总习惯先拐弯抹角说说他的优点，然后转入正题，再说缺点，这种方式虽然阴险了点，可毕竟还比较容易让人接受。所以呢，我们说话的时候，只要在要点之前先来点废话，注意二者之间用个专这次就够了。

The car was quite old, yet it was in excellent condition.

The coat was thin, but it was warm.

更多的短语：

despite that, still, however, nevertheless, in spite of, despite, notwithstanding

3)因果(so, so, so)

昨天在街上我看到了一个女孩，然后我主动搭讪，然后我们去咖啡厅，然后我们认识了，然后我们成为了朋友可见，讲故事的时候我们总要追求先后顺序，先什么，后什么，所以然后这个词就变得很常见了。其实这个词表示的是先后或因果关系!

The snow began to fall, so we went home.

更多短语：

then, therefore, consequently, accordingly, hence, as a result, for this reason, so that

4)失衡句(头重脚轻，或者头轻脚重)

有些人脑袋大，身体小，或者有些人脑袋小，身体大，虽然我们不希望长成这个样子，可如果真的是这样了，也就必然会吸引别人的注意力。文章中如果出现这样的句子，就更会让考官看到你的句子与众不同。其实就是主语从句，表语从句，宾语从句的变形。

举例：This is what I can do.

Whether he can go with us or not is not sure.

同样主语、宾语、表语可以改成如下的复杂成分：

When to go, Why he goes away

5)附加(多此一举)

如果有了老婆，总会遇到这样的情况，当你再讲某个人的时候，她会插一句说，我昨天见过他;或者说，就是某某某，如果把老婆的话插入到我们的话里面，那就是定语从句和同位语从句或者是插入语。

The man whom you met yesterday is a friend of mine.

I don’t enjoy that book you are reading.

Mr liu, our oral English teacher, is easy-going.

其实很简单，同位语--要解释的东西删除后不影响整个句子的构成;定语从句—借用之前的关键词并且用其重新组成一个句子插入其中，但是whom or that 关键词必须要紧跟在先行

词之前。关于学习英语的好处英语作文

6)排比(排山倒海句)

文学作品中最吸引人的地方莫过于此，如果非要让你的文章更加精彩的话，那么我希望你引用一个个的排比句，一个个得对偶句，一个个的不定式，一个个地词，一个个的短语，如此表达将会使文章有排山倒海之势!

Whether your tastes are modern or traditional, sophisticated or simple, there is plenty in London for you.

Nowadays, energy can be obtained through various sources such as oil, coal, natural gas, solar heat, the wind and ocean tides.

We have got to study hard, to enlarge our scope of knowledge, to realize our potentials and to pay for our life. (气势恢宏)

要想写出如此气势恢宏的句子非用排比不可!

七、 挑战极限原则

既然十挑战极限，必然是比较难的，但是并非不可攀!

原理：在学生的文章中，很少发现诸如独立主格的句子，其实也很简单，只要花上5分钟的时间看看就可以领会，它就是分词的一种特殊形式，分词要求主语一致，而独立主格则不然。比如：

The weather being fine, a large number of people went to climb the Western Hills.

Africa is the second largest continent, its size being about three times that of China.

如果您可一些出这样的句子，不得高分才怪! 上大学的好处英语作文

due to darwins "evolution", man, willingly or not, has to admit that he is not descendents of adam and eve but rather a species equal to the monkeys, the cats and dogs in nature. although human beings claim to be the most sapient species, it is undeniable that they have a close kinship with the chimpanzees.in a word, we are animals, though more advantageous in mind than our wild or domesticated fellow living beings. but, is this a privilege of human beings to dominate the destinies of other spedes? sorrowfully, some people disregard the natural diversity and many species are in the danger of etinction due to human activities. no longer can the righteous people look on withouttaking an action.

human beings have always overrated themselves in that they assume they are superior creatures whose destiny is granted by god. in the early times, nature was antithetical to human activities. no longer can the righteous people look on without taking an action.

human beings have always overrated themselves in that they assume they are superior creatures whose destiny is granted by god. in the early times, nature was antithetical to human cultures. people set out to conquer nature: they plowed the soil for grains to feed themselves; they fought against storms and tornadoes to safeguard their properties; they made use of tools to eploit natural resources. this struggle against nature precludes the understanding that nature is so generous to humans and it is harmony rather than conflict that has made human lives so comfortable. if the ancestors had not found ways to cope with natural disasters and bucked up again and again in face of peril, it would have been likely that human race might have gone etinct on the way of evolution.however, as human beings get more and more used to the development in their own societies, they,on the contrary, contribute to a nature that is increasingly dissonant and hostile, where other co-eisting species are on the edge of etinction.

it is not the natural evolution, like the glaciers, that caused many species to disappear. it is human activities that is to beblamed. deforestation deprives many bird colonies of their habitat. water pollution destroys the natural environment of aquatic animals. unimaginable numbers of species have to migrate and in search of new habitat, and they die. gulls and other seabirds stranded in the crude oil from ships could not fly to collect food,they die. when furs and hides of cheetahs, rhinos, and crocodiles are sold at good prices on the international market, they die. the prosperity of human society is bloodily indebted to lives of other plants and animal species, yet human beings keep from saving the animals and plants. the money spent on protection of endangered species is money spent worthwhile. so is the effort and time. just imagine one day another intelligent species wearing the leather of human skin.

in the history of human civilization, people have always relied on nature to achieve something of value. fundamentally, we breathe the oygen released by the plants; we enjoy the ravishing beauty of nature in our arts;we even rely on animals to produce eperimental evidence in developing medicines. we owe too much to the plants and animals. it is high time that we did something to prevent the world from becoming a drab and colorless planet, with only the human species living in sheer loneliness.

observe a child; any one will do. you will see that not a day passes in which he does not find something or other to make him happy, though he may be in tears the net moment. then look at a man; any one of us will do. you will notice that weeks and months can pass in which day is greeted with nothing more than resignation1, and endure with every polite indifference. indeed, most men are as miserable as sinners, though they are too bored to sin-perhaps their sin is their indifference2. but it is true that they so seldom smile that when they do we do not recognize their face, so distorted is it from the fied mask we take for granted3. and even then a man can not smile like a child, for a child smiles with his eyes, whereas a man smiles with his lips alone. it is not a smile; but a grin; something to do with humor4, but little to do with happiness. and then, as anyone can see, there is a point (but who can define that point?) when a man becomes an old man, and then he will smile again.

it would seem that happiness is something to do with simplicity, and that it is the ability to etract pleasure form the simplest things-such as a peach stone, for instance.it is obvious that it is nothing to do with success. for sir henry stewart was certainly successful. it is twenty years ago since he came down to our village from london, and bought a couple of old cottages, which he had knocked into one. he used his house a s weekend refuge5. he was a barrister. and the village followed his brilliant career with something almost amounting to paternal pride.i remember some ten years ago when he was made a kings counsel6, amos and i, seeing him get off the london train, went to congratulate him. we grinned with pleasure; he merely looked as miserable as though hed received a penal sentence. it was the same when he was knighted; he never smiled a bit, he didnt even bother to celebrate with a round of drinks at the "blue fo"7. he took his success as a child does his medicine. and not one of his achievements brought even a ghost of a smile to his tired eyes.

i asked him one day, soon after hed retired to potter about his garden,8 what is was like to achieve all ones ambitions. he looked down at his roses and went on watering them. then he said "the only value in achieving ones ambition is that you then realize that they are not worth achieving." quickly he moved the conversation on to a more practical level, and within a moment we were back to a safe discussion on the weather. that was two years ago.

i recall this incident, for yesterday, i was passing his house, and had drawn up my cart just outside his garden wall. i had pulled in from the road for no other reason than to let a bus pass me. as i set there filling my pipe, i suddenly heard a shout of sheer joy come from the other side of the wall.i peered over. there stood sir henry doing nothing less than a tribal war dance9 of sheer unashamed ecstasy. even when he observed my bewildered face staring over the wall he did not seem put out10 or embarrassed, but shouted for me to climb over.

"come and see, jan. look! i have done it at last! i have done it at last!"there he was, holding a small bo of earth in his had. i observed three tiny shoots out of it."and there were only three!" he said, his eyes laughing to heaven."three what?" i asked."peach stones", he replied. "ive always wanted to make peach stones grow, even since i was a child, when i used to take them home after a party, or as a man after a banquet. and i used to plant them, and then forgot where i planted them. but now at last i have done it, and, whats more, i had only three stones, and there you are, one, two, three shoots," he counted.

and sir henry ran off, calling for his wife to come and see his achievement-his achievement of simplicity.
