扶起老人英语【实用20篇】

During the SARS period in this spring, the year of 2003, one of my classmates, Li ming, was struck down by the virus and was immediately sent to hospital.

The news spread quickly on campus. At first, we were terrified and wondered if we were infected too. However, through our governments publicity on mass media, we gradually conquered the fear and set out to try out best to help her. Some teachers provided darly necessities while some students recorded the English class contents for him so that Li ming could not be left behind. With our care and concern, Li ming recovered quickly.

Such an incident teaches us a good moral. Our society is full of love, warm and peaceful, in which people-from man to woman, from individual to individual-lend others a hand. Just like a famous song goes, "the world will turn it to heaven only if everyone contributes a little." and I do believe that its my great honor to live in this love-filled paradise!

老人圣地亚哥是一位老渔民，老人与海就讲述了他在连续八十四天都没有捕到一条鱼的情况下，终于独自一人钓上了一条大马林鱼，但这条鱼庞大的像一座山丘，所以将老渔民圣地亚哥的小渔船整整拖了几天几夜叉筋疲力尽，被老人杀死绑在了小船的一头。老人返航的时候却遇到了鲨鱼，他应用的抵抗鲨鱼的攻击。可最后回到港湾的时候，大鱼只剩下鱼头、鱼尾和一条脊骨。

这篇小说描写了老人在中亚紫霞仍保持着优雅的风度。作者这样写突出了老人威严冷静的性格特点，就像我们小学五年级的一篇课文《桥》中的老支书一样。面对鲨鱼的攻击，老人并没有吓呆了，而是沉着的应对鲨鱼疯狂的攻击才保住了自己的性命。如果老人并没有沉着的应对鲨鱼的攻击，那老人将会一无所有（宝货老人的生命）这篇小说主要告诉我名字一个人应用有的最宝贵的精神—人可以被毁灭，却不可以被打败。圣地亚哥也因此而成为了文学史上最着名的“硬汉”之一

所以在生活上我们要学习老渔民圣地亚哥的品格与精神，才能成为对住过有用的人。

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。

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.

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 .

导语：现如今老人越来越多，我们要多多照顾他们，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!

It is estimated that by the year 2025,Chinawill have 150 million elderly. We should take an active attitude toward old people. They should not be regarded as burdens but part of the wealth of society. Having gone through all sorts of trials and tribulations in life, the elderly know better than the younger generation about the meaning of happiness and grief. Having stood up to the tests of life for many years, they have accumulated knowledge, wisdom and practical experience, which are indispensable to social development and human civilization. “Respecting the old and caring for the young” has been part of our fine tradition and valuable heritage.

When people become old, they tend to easily get upset, frustrated, and are afraid of being loneliness. They, therefore, expect more spiritual comfort and emotional interaction from their children and friends. The younger generation should take more time to talk with them. Meanwhile, a better social environment should be created, one in which old people will be feeling life is beautiful and worth living.

Personally, I would like to make the following proposals: Teams of young volunteers should be set up to help these pensioners. They can spare some time to have a heart-to-heart communication with them, hoping to find what they are thinking in their inner world and offer some help to them. Classes for retirees should be organized, where old men and women can study calligraphy, painting, health care, singing and dancing and have sports suitable to them. Some special clubs should also be established, which old people can talk to each other so as to ward off loneliness and lose.

据估计，到2025年中国的老人数量将会达到15亿。我们应该对老人抱有积极的态度。他们不应该被看做事负担而是社会财富的一部分。历经生活的各种患难，老人们比年轻一代更懂得什么是幸福和悲伤。经受住了多年生活的考验，他们积累了知识、智慧和实践经验，这些是社会发展和人类文明必不可少的。尊老爱幼已经成为我们的优良传统和宝贵遗产。

当人们变老的时候，他们容易变得烦恼、沮丧和害怕孤独。因此，他们希望从孩子和朋友那里得到更多的精神慰藉和情感互动。年轻的一代应该花更多的时间和他们谈心。同时，我们应该营造一个更好的社会环境，让老人们觉得生活是美好的、值得享受的。

就个人而言，我想要提出以下建议。首先，应该建立青年志愿者队伍去帮助这些老人。他们可以花一些时间和老人们进行心与心之间的交流，试图发现他们内心世界的想法并且给他们提供帮助。其次，应组织离退人员进行课程培训，使这些老人能够学习书法，绘画，保健，唱歌跳舞以及做些适合他们的运动。最后，应该建立一些特殊俱乐部让老人们可以相互交谈以驱除孤独和失落。

我今天读了《老人与海》这本书，它讲的故事令我非常感动。

老人在八十一天没有捕到鱼之后，他终于捕到了一只剑鱼。可是，在他回来的路上，他遇到了一只鲨鱼，他与鲨鱼搏斗一场，最后，老人失去了他捕到的剑鱼，他又空手而归了。

老人永不言败的精神感动了我，在他与鲨鱼搏斗时说：“你可以杀死一个人，但你永远不可以打败他”。老人宁死不屈的精神让我为之震撼，我又想起了司马迁，他也没放弃自己的生命，终于写成了《史记》；我又想起了张海迪，她瘫痪在床，但还是用吉它歌唱自己的人生；我还想起贝多芬，他双目失明，双耳失聪，却写出了9部交响曲……

我终于明白自己平常生活中，无论遇到怎样的困难都不能放弃，要坚持，这样才能成功。

The novel description is one year near sixty years of age senior fisherman, when alone goes to sea in one fishing, fished one big fish, actually did not pull. The senior fisherman socialized several days after the fish, only then discovered this was the big marlin which one surpassed the oneself fishing boat several fold, although knew perfectly well very difficult to win, but still did not give up.

Again has a look us, usually meets one slightly is difficult, we all complain incessantly.

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.

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。

[小学英语日记之帮助老人

今天，我把《老人与海》这一本书读完了，这一本书主要讲了一位老人在海上钓鱼，可他一连84没有钓上一条鱼。

其实这本书我读完后，并没有完全理解这本书的意思，于是我就问了妈妈，妈妈就又给我讲了一遍，我才明白了一些。

老人一连84天没有任何收获，可是他没有放弃，仍然不停的给自己加油鼓劲，最后他决定去深海里捕捉一条大大的鱼，于是他就出发了。最后虽然他钓到了一条好大的鱼，但在在往回返的时候却被大鲨鱼给吃光了，只留下了一条巨大的鱼骨头。他很伤心。

看完这本书，我心里有点难过。我觉得老人很可怜。

Santiago, an old man about sixty years old, fished alone with nothing caught in eighty four days. No one would like to talk to him for his extremely bad luck except a boy who always came to help after the day and finally left to another boat under the pressure of his parents. Ignoring the contempt from the younger fishermen and sympathy from the older, on the morning of the 85th day, the old man started his fishing with determination and rowed his old boat very far in the sea where he believed there would be big fish. Fortunately the old man met with a big fish as he had wished and finally defeated the big Marlin with two days and nights struggle after overcoming great difficulties. But more unfortunately there were many sharks coming after his boat attracted by the smell of the blood of the big Marlin. After death-and-life struggle, when he finally got rid of the sharks coming after the boat, the big Marlin was bare skeleton.

The Old Man and the Sea tells a frustrated experience of the old man who fishes alone in the sea in plain languages. Through the simple lines, a “tough guy” image is shaped and heroism is praised. The whole story starts with a peaceful beginning which is some trivial of life and talking with the boy, and suddenly turns to its climax which is the dangerous fighting with the big fish and sharks alone in the sea, and ends with the old man’s return with the bare skeleton of the big Marlin. Though the boy only appears at the beginning and the ending in the novel, he plays an indispensible role, it is his inspiring and supporting that helps the old man to be “graceful under heavy pressure”.

In the book, the old man prepared his fishing properly and preciously than any other fishermen so that “Then when luck comes you are ready” as the old man thought to himself. In reality, some of us keep complaining that they are born in wrong time or good luck never knocks their doors. In fact, good luck sometimes just comes when they are not ready. Taking Newton for example, if he had not acquired a lot, millions of apples could never make him discovery the gravity. So if we just keep studying as much as we can, good luck will finally find us and a bright future is ahead of us. The old man never gives up hope. When all of people think he is doomed, he still strongly believes that he will get a big fish. And he does. So never giving up hope is very important to us. This reminded me of the sentence in Churchill’s speech “Never give up, never, never, never…”. “But man is not made for defeat. A man can be destroyed but not defeated” has always been inspiring me when I counter with some setbacks in my life. Setbacks are inevitable in pursuit of our goals, but we should never be frustrated and should be “graceful under heavy pressure” like the old man. It is his relentless pursuit that contributes to the victory.

Do you know what festival it is on the ninth day of September? Of course,

it is the annual festival for the elderly - Double Ninth Festival. I remember an

old legend about the Double Ninth Festival: there was the Double Ninth Festival

a long time ago. On this day, a young man was murdered by a ghost without doing

anything to honor the old man. In one day, not only the boy was murdered, but

nearly 100 teenagers died. According to the survey, they are teenagers who have

never done anything for the elderly, so we call this "Mr. ghost" an "old

ghost".

Today is the Double Ninth Festival, so I have to do one thing, two things

and so on for the elderly. Express my filial piety and respect for the elderly.

The first thing I do is pick up the trash. Im going out with my grandmother.

When I saw the garbage bag at the door, I knew that my grandmother was about to

slowly take out the garbage downstairs. At this time, I immediately grabbed the

garbage bag and smiled at my grandmother: "let me pour it! Today is your

festival! Dont be tired." then I turned and quickly went downstairs and dumped

the garbage in the garbage can. After grandma came down, "good sun, its really

good. If you meet people like this every day, youll take the first step on the

road of life." I listened to it with joy and replied with a smile, "OK!"

The second thing I chose was to beat my grandmothers back. I let her sit

on the sofa, so I knelt behind her and beat her gently. Grandma closed her eyes

like enjoyment and took a deep breath slowly. I also closed my eyes. When I

opened it, I found that my grandmother came to a prairie in an instant. The

green everywhere was very beautiful and charming. "Grandma, are you

comfortable?" "comfortable, really comfortable." I opened my eyes again and

found that I had returned to the sofa

Here, like mothers day, I appeal to the world: "care for the elderly, the

elderly are also a part of our human family." this sentence is given to some

unfilial children, hoping that he will change

Was reading the big fish’s smell of blood is smelled by one crowd of shark fish, struggled swims snatches the food, old person’s left hand happen to in the convulsions, he only could use the right hand, with wooden stick， the mouth and so on all was allowed to use for the weapon self-defense which attacked, and finally expelled this crowd of shark fish.

Shows loving concern mutually. I gave everybody saying that first two sections occurred, in my side and occurred on my bodys story:

Fathers mother when expresses gratitude to her, that woman to the fathers mother said: “my mother is also similar with yours age, I only am hoped she experiences this kind of matter the time, also some people open the door for her.”Remembered that one year I have fallen ill, mother accompanies on me the hospital, the human are many, I have a fever, mother has been impatient, said loudly how you are do, does not see a doctor?

Cared mutually the loving care is important. We should help any to need us soulful the person. Between the human and the human only then has filled thick showing loving concern, only will then have more people to be willing to share hardships with you; Only will then have more people to be willing to be you the friend; You will only then enjoy many to from other peoples love.
