my sister likes always goes swimming in last summer she was very unlucky.

Now more and more bike sharing brands have emerged, such as ofo, Mobai,

Wukong bicycle, Xiaoming bicycle and so on, which are convenient for our travel.

As long as we download a software, we can pay some money to rent a car. However,

since I saw some phenomena, I have asked myself, "is bike sharing convenient or

harmful?"

Bike sharing is very popular recently. Ofo software or other sharing

software can be found in almost all mobile phones of "mobile phone family".

However, once my mother came home full of anger, scared me to speak. I shuddered

and asked, "Mom, what makes you so angry?" She put the bag in her hand on the

table and made a loud "pa -". "Your sister helped me install an ofo software in

my mobile phone. I wanted to make it easy to ride back with good medicine, but

today I rented a" broken car "!" I was puzzled: "ofo still has a broken car

"That is, otherwise, how could my feet be bruised?" She moved her foot to me,

and a black wheel mark was still visible. "When I was riding, the chain was

loose. If it wasnt for my fast braking speed, I would have fallen off!" Since

then, Ive been less fond of bike sharing.

Once I went to a make-up class, I saw two workers sitting on a Mobi

bicycle, shaking and laughing. Dad was very indignant and said: "this kind of

person really does not speak of public morality! Make fun of the public car I

know that they wont do this with their cars. My heart is like bleeding. Why,

they want to "bully" bike sharing.

Once I went out to play. The weather was very good and I was in a good

mood. I look up to the side, really do not see do not know, a look scared. A man

secretly removed the wheel of an ofo and replaced it with a bad one on his own.

After that, he rode off on the ofo wheel. Only the ofo little yellow car was

lying alone, and the wheels were not installed properly. It is like a injured

little girl, whose legs have been taken away, like vanca, can not endure the

sunshine of life. At that time, my tears began to drop. Is bike sharing "shared"

or "exclusive"?

There have been news reports that a boy under 12 years old riding a shared

bicycle was run over by a car and killed. At that time, the boys mother shared

the companys money to compensate for her sons death. Its clearly her sons fault.

He didnt ride a bike before he was 12 years old. I didnt say he deserved it. But

the fact is better than eloquence. The death of her son is not the

responsibility of the sharing company, but his own fault!

I once saw a young man riding ofo without scanning the code. A middle-aged

man pushed ofo into his home. Have you ever seen someone use Mobi without

decoding as fitness equipment? The sound of chain jingling is like a demon with

a chain in his hand crawling out of hell. Thats selfish!

Someone took an image that put the broken ofo and Moby together to fill a

small parking lot. After riding shared bicycles, people park them on the side of

the road at will. As long as a passer-by gently knocks down a car, it will fall

down like a domino.

Have you ever thought that sharing resources is closely related to each of

us, but all the harm they bring is due to selfishness. Bike sharing is just one

example. Ive seen shared bookstores where people leave books on their desks

after reading, so that they cant go home. "Convenience to others, convenience to

oneself." As long as we are convenient for others, we will also benefit

ourselves.

Teacher, perhaps the two words you have listened to many times, but I still want to say to you: "teacher, thank you!" On the occasion of arrival of teachers day, I will always think of you taught my scenes at ordinary times. When I have trouble, you always took pains to my guidance and help me; When I have a mistake, you will seriously pointed out, and then kindly help me to correct mistakes; When I achieved good grades, you will always be cock thumb, smile with canthus.

Teacher, you are my teacher! You are let me admire, let me progress, let me grow up tutor!

Teachers, thank you!

On a Saturday afternoon our Chinese History teacher took us to visit a museum.

The exhibition hall was decorated in an antique mode. Charts and pictures were hung on the walls. Many ancient utensils, weapons and arms, robes, crowns, coins, or naments, books and farm tools as well as recently unearthed relics were exhibited. Each dynasty was presented in a separated room along with written and pictorial descriptions. Our teacber now served as the narrator, giving us a detailed lecture on the development of Chinese history, and elucidated his new viewpoint on how to divide Chinese history into different stages.

We were happy to have such a vivid lesson, one that made us not only review what we had learnt in class but also feel proud of our motherlands great and glorious historical culture of more than five thousand years.

When girls get together, they like gossip. They always talk about the topic of beauty. They will discuss who is the most beautiful girl in school or they will compare the girls and see who is more charming. As the young people, they usually judge people from appearance. The definition of beauty of course is the one who is thinner and has the pretty face. When they ask me which one is more attractive, then I will look at them for a while, because I want to perceive their personality. My view on beauty is not only from appearance as I think most girls have the pretty faces, but also from the inside, only the quality that differentiates them. The pretty faces will fade away anyway, only the quality that helps people to keep charming. So we need to cultivate the good quality.

女孩喜欢八卦，当她们聚在一起时，总是谈论美的话题。她们会讨论谁是学校里最美丽的女孩或者比较谁更有魅力。因为年轻，所以她们通常是从外貌判断一个人，理所当然的认为美丽的定义是瘦跟漂亮的脸蛋。当她们问我哪一个女孩子更有魅力的时候，我会看一会，因为我想想想她们的品行。我觉得大多数女孩都有着漂亮的脸蛋，所以我认为美不仅是外表，还有内心美，只有品行能把她们区分开来。漂亮的面孔会逐渐老去，只有品行可以永远保持魅力。所以我们需要培养良好的品行。

我是一名三年级的小学生，我家住在沈阳，从我小的时候妈妈就经常带我去舅舅家。舅舅家住在大东区，九一八历史博物馆附近，可是以前我太小了，没有明白“九一八”到底是个什么地方。直到今年我三年级了，老师让我们写一篇纪念抗日战争胜利70周年的文章，我就再一次走进了九一八历史博物馆，这一次带着从课堂上学到的知识，带着妈妈给我讲的关于抗日战争的故事，我的心灵被深深地震撼了!

九一八历史博物馆自从前几年就已经免费开放了，远远的就能看见时间停留在了1931年的9月18日。日本军队以中国军队炸毁日本修筑的南满铁路为借口而占领沈阳。事变爆发后，日本与中国之间矛盾激化，而日本军部主战派地位上升，国会和内阁总理大臣权力下降，导致日本全面侵华。几年时间内，东北三省全部被日本关东军占领。9月18日被中华人民共和国政府视为国耻日。整个展厅共分为七个部分，其中让我印象最深的是第三部分：日本在东北的血腥统治!

自1931年9月18日以后，日本人对中国人民进行了惨无人道的屠杀.他们强抢民女，用中国人做实验品，用细菌武器，无数的中国百姓惨死在他们的刀下。看着墙上血腥的图片，我真的被吓坏了，我仿佛就在当时的环境里，无处躲藏，无数人的尸体躺在我的脚下，这还是我生活的家园吗?我紧紧地攥着妈妈的衣襟，细细的汗水浸透了妈妈的衣服。5000多个这样只有仇恨的日日夜夜，那时的中国人是怎么挺过来的?我是一个女孩，看到很多的小女孩死在日本的屠刀下，她们有的还没来的及认清自己的妈妈，就已经被日本人杀害了!日本人你们太残酷了!我恨你们!展厅的结尾宣告日本统治结束，中国人民抗日战争胜利了。我们为什么胜利了?我们是怎么胜利的?当初我们的土地又是为什么被日本占领了呢?这真的值得我们中国人，尤其是祖国未来的建设者们，要好好考虑的问题!我们每个中华儿女要有热爱祖国，报效国家的崇高理想，如果我们一直严格要求自己，刻苦学习，时刻做好对抗外来侵略的准备，我们的国家就不会被占领，我们的子民就不会被外国人欺负!也就不会有你的亲人枉死，惨死，惨遭蹂躏!

我深深地记得，妈妈说每年的9月18日晚上9点18分，沈阳就会拉响三分钟的警报，马路上的汽车停止跟着鸣笛，行人都要站立低头，表示对过去那些去世的中国人的哀悼和对战争的痛苦回忆。我想今年的9月18日我会有跟往常不一样的体会，因为我长大了!

我只是一个小学生，我不知道会不会有的人走出了九一八，就会觉得这都是过去的事情，现在根本不可能发生，不用去理它!总之我不这样认为，妈妈总告诉我，我们要从小事做起，做一个有理想，爱自己，爱父母，爱他人，爱国家的人!只有每个中国人足够顽强，才能筑起抵御外国侵犯的坚强堡垒，才能保护好我们的家人，保护好我们的国家!

我们的国家日渐繁荣，我们的生活越发美好，作为中国的一份子，我们有责任有义务为我们自己，为我们的子孙后代贡献自己的一份力量，让敌人无处可藏!中国人加油!

进入新源民俗艺术博物馆，我好像来到了另一个世界，这里有知识的海洋，有智慧的大山，有历史的皇宫，仿佛一个古代的民俗山洞，等待着我们去发现、去探索。

走进博物馆，首先映入眼帘的是各种各样的砖雕，它们有唐代的，也有明代的，大的有老虎，小的有食盒，有的是皇宫贵族使用，有的是老百姓所用，都做工精美，让我眼花缭乱，目不暇接。

而我最喜欢的是第二展厅的“如瓷之家”。我们跟着讲解员观赏了很多陶瓷。我最喜欢的是青花碗。青花碗分大碗、小碗和中碗。它们全身淡蓝色，身上画着不同的图案，绿叶衬托着花朵，显得格外美丽。它们虽然没有钻石的光芒，也没有水晶的富贵，但它们身上散发着淳朴的味道。它们是古代人用来装食物的，就像现在我们使用的冰箱。

在博物馆，我们遇到一个大学生在刺绣工艺品。听说就在高陵，有一位民间艺人叫做牟玉娥，1916年出生于高陵张卜乡的一个普通家庭。因她酷爱刺绣，在2008年临终前三年加班加点完成了十二生肖袖珍绣花鞋和100双虎头鞋，还创作百虫百花绣帐等一大批精美的工艺品，为中国争得了极高的荣誉。

夕阳西下，谁也不肯走。是啊，谁愿意离开这个仙境般的世界呢？

The Lunar New Year

The Lunar New Year occasion to the Chinese people. It lasts about the first four days of the year, during which people do not work except for the workers on duty. Students do not go to school, and shops are closed.

Several days before the new year, people begin to prepare. Farmers kill pigs, sheep, cocks and hens. City dwellers buy meat fish and vegetables. Houses are cleaned; couplets are posted on the doors. Colourful lanterns are hung at the gate.

On the eve of the new year, each family has its members gatherd together and eats a family reunion dinner. After the meal they watch TV until the clock strickes twelve. Then every family sets off long strings of small firecrackers and other fireworks to welcome the new year. On the first day of the new year, almost everyone is dressed in his or her best. Whenpeople meet on the way, they say to each other "Happy New Year". Friends and relatives pay new year calls and gives presents to each other. Children indulge themselves in games.

春节

农历新年对中国人来说是个很重要的节日。它大约要持续4天，在这期间，除了值班人员外，人们都放假了。工人不开工，学生上不学，商店关门。

新年前几天人们就开始准备。农民们宰杀猪、鸡、羊。城市居民买肉、鱼、蔬菜。人们打扫房子，贴对联，挂彩灯。

新年除夕，各家各户围坐在一起吃团圆饭。饭后，人们看电视，到了午夜12点，在这辞旧迎新的时刻，人们燃放各种烟花炮竹来庆祝。新年第一天，即正月初一，所有的人都穿着最漂亮的衣服，路上相遇，互相道“新年好”，亲戚朋友拜年互赠礼物，孩子们尽情地玩耍。

珠算是我国的瑰宝，它始于秦汉，成于唐宋，盛于元明，发展于新中国，在历史上熠熠生辉！今天我有幸来到珠算博物馆，了解算盘的文化，欣赏算盘典雅与尊贵的气质。

站在馆前，迎面而来的是古朴典雅、渊远流长的文化气息，外型美观大方，在蓝天白云之下，像一件无可挑剔的艺术品，可想而知里面的算盘又是怎样的精美呀！

跨入馆门首先看见的是石头做的算盘的一角。算盘分为框、梁、档、珠四个部分，常见的多为上2珠，下5珠；形状多为长方形；材质多样化……这何尝不是古人智慧的结晶呢！

此时此刻我们来到了算盘精品厅。本厅聚集了大大小小两百多个算盘，有玉做的，金做的，银做的，铜做的，铁做的……各式各样，五花八门。其中令我最欢喜的要数阶梯算盘了！

阶梯算盘顾名思义，形状与台阶相像，共有6层，框、梁、档、珠均为木质，可供六人使用！其形独特，挂于壁上，十分显眼。其虽不及玉石算盘之华丽、精美、夺人眼球，也不及金算盘之耀眼、夺目、金光照人，可寓意着实深邃，令人耳目一新：主人造铸之时，希望自己的生意、生活越来越好！简言之：精打细算发大财，步步高升做大官。透过这把奇特的算盘，我看出了算盘在当时的地位之高和重要性之强。古代人民对它的寓意、形状真是考究，这或许就是人们为什么说“算盘是一件件艺术品”的原因吧！

与阶梯算盘邂逅过，又与一个小算盘见面了。

这个小算盘长６毫米，宽４毫米，材质为象牙，散出一股冰清玉洁之感，这是别的算盘望而不及的。细看，它只有成人大拇指的一半多一点，可上面却有这算盘应有的部分，并且，珠珠可用针尖拨动。在灯光下，闪着亮光，雪白之色浑然与洒下的银辉融为一体，成为一颗闪亮的星！它与其他算盘的不同之处在于那小而精的外形，让人不禁想起一句话：少则多，多则祸。真没想到，我们的祖先竟有这般鬼斧神工的手艺，它需要浑厚的工艺积淀与精细的雕刻，才能造出这样让人为之震撼的艺术制品！

来到珠算博物馆，不得不提紫檀算盘！它是一卷书，一卷博深而又精美的算珠；它是一轴画，一幅大美若素，檀香四溢的制檀图；它长７。８１米宽１。８１米，是鲁班算盘的１０倍和１９倍。该算盘上没有一个钉子一滴胶水，全是拼接而成，单枚就重３斤！这何尝不让人惊叹那！它无处不浸润着典雅之气，干燥处理、选料切割、榫卯拼合、纹饰雕刻，无一步不精细！这是先祖智慧闪现而出的灵光，是雅俗共赏的珠算史上，一颗明珠，一段辉煌！

珠算博物馆不仅有这三种算盘，还有麻将算盘，如意算盘，桃核算盘，八卦算盘，寒鸦戏水瓷算盘等。个个做工精细，样式新颖，造型美观，不愧为濠河岸边的一颗明珠！不愧为南通人民的骄傲！

在计算技术发展的长河中，人们创造了各种计算工具。中国人创造的算盘，风行海外，被誉为“最古老的计算器”，为世界计算作出了杰出贡献！

在这个色彩缤纷的寒假，我与文学社的伙伴们一起研学游古长安—西安。其中，最令我难忘的是那雄伟的秦兵马俑博物馆。

2月7日上午，我们一行人经过二个小时的车程，来到博物馆。大家领了门票，过了两道大门。迎面，三座兵马俑坑出现在我的面前，右手边彩绘铜车马博物馆。我们的辅导员魏老师先带和我们参观彩绘铜车马。

一进大门，一张照片吸引我的眼球。这张照片是但是挖掘铜车马前的模样。上面的两辆马车已是破烂不堪，破碎的零片互相辗轧，惨不忍睹！魏老师和我们说，这里展示的是1号铜车马和2号铜车马。我们跟着魏老师参观了2号铜车马，这两彩绘铜车马虽是仿制品，但是能感受到战国时期秦国的高超炼铜技术。2号铜车马的车顶是一块5毫米厚微微弯曲的铜板。车前是四匹矫健的战马，一位车夫握着缰绳，笔直站立在车门前。这辆马车的奇特之处就在于设计精巧的车窗，如果你想从车外看车内，就是徒劳之举，即便凑近了也看不真切。这可是利用了针孔原理。从车内往外瞧，外面的景象一览无余，十分清晰。

面对这些精巧的彩绘铜车马，大家啧啧称赞。进入二号俑坑，我的呼吸差点停止。眼睛盯着最完整的一座兵俑细看，我从老师的解说中了解到他是独一无二的跪射俑。他造型奇特，从侧面看就像一张陕西地图，他身材魁梧，单跪在地上，炯炯有神的眼睛直射前方，哪怕敌人再凶悍，他也毫不畏惧。

将军俑威武雄壮，气压四方。看他昂首挺胸，嘴角微微上扬的样子，定是对自己的部队感到骄傲。

这些栩栩如生的兵马俑都是用古人的汗水和智慧创造的，他们是我们中华民族的骄傲！

Halloween is an observance celebrated on the night of October 31,most notably by children dressing in costumes and going door-to-door collecting candy.It is celebrated in much of the Western world,though most common in the United States,Most other Western countries have embraced Halloween as a part of American pop culture in the late 20th century.

So,although some cults may have adopted Halloween as their favorite "holiday," the day itself did not grow out of evil practices.It grew out of the rituals of Celts celebrating a new year,and out of Medieval prayer rituals of Europeans.And today,even many churches have Halloween parties or pumpkin carving events for the kids.After all,the day itself is only as evil as one cares to make it.

万圣节是纪念庆祝10月31日晚,尤其是在服饰打扮儿童和挨家挨户上门收集糖果.这是在庆祝西方世界很多,不过大多数在美国,大多数其他西方国家接受,作为美国流行文化在20世纪后期的一部分万圣节.

因此,尽管有些邪教可能采用为他们最喜爱的“节日万圣节,”这一天本身却没有增加邪恶的作法.它的前身是在庆祝新年凯尔特人仪式,并指出欧洲中世纪的祈祷仪式.今天,甚至很多教会万圣节南瓜雕刻政党或为孩子们的活动.毕竟,这一天本身是邪恶的,只是作为一个关心使然.

As a student, I expect the winter holiday very much, because I don’t have

to go to school every day. So I can sleep and get up late. But this winter

holiday, I am not very happy. I didn’t do well in the final exam. It makes my

parents disappointed. I feel sorry to them. Besides, I got ill the whole winter

holiday. I caught a cold at first and then had a fever. I had to see a doctor

every day. My parents worried much about me. Because of the illness, I didn’t

have a good time during the New Year. Now, I am a little better. I hope I could

be well soon, because the new term is beginning. I don’t want to go to school

with illness.

May 1st Sunday Fine。

It was fine today， Lily and I went to visit the Science Museum。 It is about two kilometers away from our homes， so we decided to go there by bike。 We set off at 8 oclock。 At the museum we saw a lot of interesting things。 We could operate some equipment。 There we met many classmates and friends。 We thought we had learned a lot and were more interested in science。

At half past eleven we left the museum for home。 We enjoyed ourselves in the museum today。

5月1日 星期日 晴

今天是个好天气，我和丽丽去科技馆参观。科技馆离我们家有两公里远，我们决定骑自行车去。我们早晨八点就出发了。在科技馆里，我们看见许多有趣的东西，我们还可以操作某些装置乙在那里我们遇到许多同学和朋友。我们都认为，我们从中学到了很多知识，同时对科学更感兴趣了。

十一点半，我们离开科技馆回家了。今天我们在科技馆过得很愉快。

今天下午，天气晴朗，春光明媚。我们三年级的五个班去消防队参观学习。

我们排着整齐的队伍到了那里，看见门上的柱子上写着 119 火警电话。我 们从正门进去，我先看到了一栋六层训练塔，这是消防队员叔叔训练的地方， 有障碍板，独木桥等等。叔叔还给我们讲了许多关于消防的知识。

我们看完这里，又到了车库。两个叔叔又开出两辆消防车。然后，几个叔 叔给我们表演了干粉灭火器的使用：叔叔先打开保险销，再压下手把，从喷嘴 冒出一股象雾一样的白色粉末。这种灭火器可以灭电，油，气着火。

消防队员还给我们演示了水罐车，一个叔叔拿着一根长长的白管子，一个 叔叔抱着水枪，水喷到我们的身上，脸上，因为我们离车不远。车上的喷枪在 叔叔的控制下，水均匀的洒在地上。

看完表演，我感受很多，既开阔了眼界，又增长了知识。

internet slang be prohibited (互联网俚语应该被禁止……)

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。

一些同学认为网络语言生动、时尚，网络语言充满幽默与智慧，使网上聊天更快捷。

另一些同学认为，网络语言缺乏思想性，没有被大部分人理解、接受，过多使用使人不解，甚至误解。

你的看法?

注意：

1. 短文开头已经给出，不计入总词数;

2. 词数：100左右

3. 参考词汇：生动的vivid;智慧intelligence

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.

What is your favorite kind of music? Do you like jazz, popular music,

classical music, folk songs, blues, and so on? In high school I took one course

called music appreciation which I greatly enjoyed. This was not to learn how to

play a specific instrument but to learn how to read and listen to music as an

art form. We read the stories about the lives of many composers and the history

of the musical instruments themselves. Sometimes we listened to tapes at the

language laboratory, or concerts. Music is sometimes called a universal

language. A composer who cannot speak a single word of our language can make us

feel joy and pride, exaltation and despair, peace and mystery through his

music.

When it comes to November 11, what’s on your mind? Well, as to the old

generations, it’s only an ordinary day; however, the young generations will

consider it as the Singles’ Day as well as the on-line shopping carnival. In

fact, on November 11th, 2013, Tmall and Taobao (the biggest Chinese online

shopping platform) has sold out more than 35 billion Yuan goods, this data has

astonished the media at home and abroad. Apparently, people have more interests

on cyber shopping than spend the night with their single friends. Some home

media even suggest that November 11th should be the Chinese on-line shopping

carnival.

In 2010, Jack Ma, the CEO of Tmall and Taobao, had coined the term “Double

Eleven”, aimed to encourage the single people to do something to celebrate their

own festival. Instead of dating lovers, people go on-line shopping to relive the

loneliness. According to the survey, China had 564 million Internet users at the

end of last year and 180 million single people. And the single people are the

main force of the China’s spending power. The debut was a great success. Then

“11.11” has an unusual meaning, which stands for on-line shopping carnival.

Comparing with the traditional shopping, the cyber shopping has more

distinguish features, which quite fit the young generations’ taste. People do

not need to go outside, just click their mouse, the goods will be home. The best

part is you can do it anywhere, anytime. All you need is a credit card. What we

can predict in the future is that on-line shopping is not going to fade away,

instead, it will boost like the mushrooms after spring rains.

这个周末，我和妈妈去了植物园。

我们从东南门入园，步行一小段路，远处蔚蓝天空下，一片金色的海洋吸引了我的目光。那“海洋”在微风中荡起了金色的浪花，像是被斜阳照射的海面，波光粼粼，反射出灿烂的光芒。那种金色朴素中带着几分华丽，华丽中又有几分清新，显出一派迷人的自然风光。浪花快乐地涌动着，一波一波向我奔来，我若脱笼之鹄，向着那片金色的海洋冲去。

啊！原来是郁金香！阵阵花香，迎面而来，芬芳扑鼻。有的含苞欲放，有的正炫耀自己，有的迎着太阳起舞。它们像受过训练的舞者，时而踮起脚尖，时而劈着竖叉，时而来一个360度的高难度大旋转。它们一会儿跳起芭蕾，一会儿来段踢踏，一会儿舞动着金色的绸子展示着古典舞。我沿着郁金香园转了好几圈，恋恋不舍地往北走。

郁金香园的东北边是望湖亭，我们站在上面，远眺天鹅湖，美景尽收眼底。绕过天鹅湖，来到松林和芍药园，那里松树挺拔，芍药雪白，风景秀丽，可真是拍照的好地方呢。

日落时分，我们从北门离开植物园。植物园之旅让我收获了快乐，收获了对花草树木的喜爱，收获了一肚子关于大自然的知识。大自然你好，植物园我们下次见。

I am not a brave girl, I am afraid of losing face in front of my friends

and parents, so I always let the chance go and refuse to try. Once, I have a

chance to take a performance in the Christmas show, but thinking about if I

performed badly, all my friends would laugh at me, so I gave up the chance. But

now, I am tired of letting so many chances to go, I want to try, after seeing my

friends take all the chances to try, I am not going to be the outsider all the

time, I want to live my own life and make some differences. People say failure

is not terrible, the unforgettable thing are to lose the courage to try and then

making all kinds of excuses. Let’s take out our courage and do what we want to

do.
