一个虚度光阴的人,就算有一副在好的皮囊,也掩饰不住他的俗气。一个积极进取的人,即使衣衫褴褛,也挡不住自己由内而发的贵气!
生命是无止境的,我们只有奋勇直前,不怕跌倒,一步一步的向前进,才会感受到阳光的温暖,春的生机,夏的热烈,秋的飒爽,冬的纯洁……

+ 加入清单Hello everyone.Today Im glad to be here to give a speech about my fresh experience in China Agriculture University.
First I must say the campus life is really different from what I have experienced in high school.For instance,I used to lean upon my dormitory teacher to wake me up on time.But now I have to set several alarm clocks to make myself could hear them in the morning otherwise I would miss my class.And then even worse there would be nobody remind me
except my teacher!So the differences are everywhere and I could easily find them.The change of life is great and its wonderful:I have more time of my own and the rights to decide how I live.
My campus activities are rich and colorful.Learning English has become a habit to me cause I plan to study abroad in next few years.Playing Guzheng is my favorite activity.I have kept on practising it since I was a little girl and I wish to win more competitions in my campus life.
Our university has the first level equipments and the most experienced teachers,also has the best students(laugh).I consider it to be a honor that Ive got a chance to study here and I sincerely hope that we could live wonderful lives in our campus!
篇6:大学生活的英语作文怎么写
全文共 2707 字
+ 加入清单8College life
When I was young at high school,I couldnt stop dreaming about my college life again and again.Suffering too much pressure form college entrance test,I always admired college students for their relaxed life in college.
In my personal opinion,living in university is an enjoyment.Every day we can open our eyes naturally,and put on clothes in our own style without warring about teachers rigid control.Communicating with great master is no longer beyond our reach.Each course we take can be a feast for our mind and soul.After class,we will lead a rich and colorful life filled with various leisure activities such as .Library in university is another factor I pursue.I think its an access to enhancing our comprehensive abilities to read even just scan all sorts of
writings.Whats more,we will have so much disposable time that we can do whatever worthy.And our contact group will be extended signally via organizing and participating many activities.All in all,I once imagined that I can live a life that is substantial but meaningful.
However,I just have to admit that what I just describe is really dream.Now living in SD I cant figure out what I pursue and make a feasible career planning.So many young cynics in this schoolyard argue for something meaningless.Worse still,the academic atmosphere has already done with nothing left.I havent found a busy but rich thing to try my best.As a matter of fact,I even cant choose a lifestyle I prefer.What a tragedy it is between dream and reality. 篇二:大学生活的英语作文怎么写
Life in the university is not as satisfactory as what we had expected.
First of all, we are tightly hound by continual classes, excessive homework and exams; some students complain that we are becoming “exam machines”. Secondly, the teaching method is boring; instead of lecturing, some teachers just “read” lessons. Finally, living conditions need to be improved; and food in the dining-hall is far from being attractive and tasteful.
In spite of all these adversities we still enjoy our life in the university. During the four-year university study, we can not only acquire a lot of book learning, but also foster various abilities. All types of extracurricular activities such as sports meets, speech contests, different social gatherings and dancing parties provide opportunities to make friends; many of these friendships may last a long time.
In short,we should value our life in the university. Four years is only a short period when compared with our whole lifetime. In the university we mature, and in the university we prepare ourselves for the real world. Although there are many things lacking, the four years in the university is a worthwhile period in our whole lifetime.

+ 加入清单There are two people watching outside the window. The first man can only see the rubbish, because he is a pessimist. He always complains about his life, as he always regards that God is not equal to him. While facing difficulties, hes always frightened. Therefore he often loses his chances to win. Reminding his old days, hes very regretful. Once his father had placed him at the entrance of the road and told him to be careful while choosing his life. But he has chosen the wrong way. Now he gets nothing from his journey but remorse and errors. He dares not to see his father in the haven. He often cries bitterly but in vain. No wonder he is a penniless failure.
有两个人看着窗外。第一个男人只看到垃圾,因为他是一个悲观主义者。他总是抱怨自己的生活,因为他总是认为上帝对他不公平。在面对困难的时候,他总是害怕。因此他经常失去了获胜的机会。想起他以前的日子,他感到很遗憾。他父亲曾经将他放在道路的入口处并告诉他要小心选择自己的生活。但他选择了一条错误的路。现在,从他的旅程中他什么也没有得到,除了悔恨和错误。他不敢去见他在天堂的父亲。他经常痛哭但是徒然。难怪他是一个身无分文的失败者。
However, the second man is different from the first. Through the window, he can see the beautiful stars. As an optimist, he always smiles to everything. While facing difficulties, he still keeps a sense of humor. He can defeat all the setbacks and stumbling blocks by his great determination. And he often finds his life so colorful and interesting as he overcomes all the difficulties. Whats more, hes very strong and powerful. Although life is very difficult outside, he still makes a great effort to overcome all the troubles. Hes very brave and confident. Hes so brave, brave enough to face the present life. Hes so confident, confident enough to challenge himself. Hes very easy-going and kind-hearted. He always helps others when they are in trouble. Thats why he always owns a good fame.
然而,第二个人和第一个人不一样。透过窗户,他看到了美丽的星星。作为一个乐观主义者,他总是微笑着面对一切。面对困难,他依然保持着幽默感。他可以通过强大的定力战胜所有的挫折和阻碍。他经常觉得他的生活是丰富多彩和有趣的,因为他克服了所有的困难。更重要的是,他非常强大。虽然生活很困难,他仍然可以通过努力克服所有的困难。他非常勇敢和自信。他是那么的勇敢,勇敢到可以面对现在的生活。他很自信,有足够的信心去挑战自己。他很随和,善良。他总是帮助那些有困难的人。这就是为什么他总是可以拥有好名声。
From the story, we know the fact that the second man has set a good example to us, so we must follow his good example.
从这个故事中,我们知道一个事实,第二个人已经给我们树立了一个好的榜样,所以我们以他为榜样。

In dormitory, i think it is more necessary for us to protect the tune of dormitory.For example if your dormitory unharmonious.it could effect your study, feeling, mood and so on. But the question is how to establish the live of harmonious dormitory.

篇17:乐观生活,积极向上作文900字

+ 加入清单人人都想拥有一个快乐,并且阳光的生活。有这样一个故事;一个青年来到绿洲遇见了一位老人,青年便问“这里如何?”老人家便反问:“你的家乡如何?”年轻人回答道:“糟糕透了,我很讨厌!”老人便说:“那你快走,这里同你的家乡一样糟糕。”接着又来了一位青年问相同的问题。老人也这样反问。青年说:“我家乡很好!”老人说:“我家乡也很好!”旁人十分诧异,问老人为何前后说法不一致呢?老人说:“你要想找到什么,你就会找到什么!”是啊!只要你追求美好就会发现美好,如果你总是看见黑夜那么黑夜将会包围你。
米卢在执教中国足球队时曾说过一句话:“态度决定一切。”如果你是怀着悲伤,厌恶的心情对待生活,那么你将会很糟糕;但若你怀着乐观与积极向上的态度去面对或直面生活的话那么将会很阳光的。那么我们该如何积极向上呢?我们应该做到以下几点:
关于挑战,直面困难
在现在的生活中更应该挑战新事物,使自己有面对的困难的勇气,有些人在遇到困难时畏畏缩缩,非常非常的胆小。大家都知道刘阿斗吧!为了保命,不惜将刘备打下的江山拱手让人;可真是“烂泥扶不上墙呀!”有些人挑战后失败了,那该如何解释呢?在生活中难免会遇见困难与挫折,正所谓“不经历风雨,怎能见彩虹。”
不能过于自信,也不能没有自信
过分乐观的人总以为自己能够达到目标,因此会忽略沿途的险恶;极端悲哀的人老以为成功的几率十分渺茫而不能迈步向前,这两种人都会失去机会。
只跟自己比,不和别人攀比
自懂事以来,就知道了成功的压力是有多大,因此每个人都想处处表现优异,使自己十全十美,惹人喜爱。但是一但有人比自己好就开始自卑难过,甚至轻生。所以每个人应该用自己当做衡量的标准,想想当初起步时是哪里出了错,现在有没有进展。
坚持不懈,努力上进
每一次老师竞选班委时,都有很多人竞选同一个职位,但只有一个人能胜任。往往被刷下来的时候就会不甘心,有的人甚至就堕落下去。然而越在这时越应该问一问自己有哪些不足,从而改正,当下次选班委时应该更加积极主动一点儿。
没错只要做任何事都怀着一颗积极向上的心就成功了一半。让自己生活得更充实,更快乐,更健康。让自己从中感到生活的美。“乐观生活,积极向上!”

+ 加入清单Today. You can choose to be in a good mood or you can choose to be in a bad mood.' I choose to be in a good mood. Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or choose to learn from it. I choose to learn from it. Every time someone comes to me complaining I can choose to accept their complaining or I can point out the positive side of life. I choose the positive side of life."
"Yeah, right. It isn't that easy." I protested.
"Yes it is, " Michael said. "Life is all about choices. When you cut away all the junk, every situation is a choice. You choose how you react to situations. You choose how people will affect your mood. You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood. The bottom line is: It's your choice how you live life. " I reflected on what Michael said.
Soon thereafter, I left the big enterprise that I had worked in for years to start my own business. We lost touch, but I often though about him when I made a choice about life instead of reacting to it. Several years later, I heard Michael was involved in a serious accident, falling off 60 feet from a communications tower.
After l8 hours of surgery, and weeks of intensive care, Michael was released from the hospital with rods placed in his back. I saw Michael about six months after the accident. When I asked him how he was, he replied, "If I were any better, I’d be twins. Wanna see my scars?" I declined to see his wounds, but did ask him what had gone through his mind as the accident took place.
"The first thing that went through my mind was the well being of my soon-to-born daughter," Michael replied. "Then, as I lay on the ground, remembered I had two choices: I could choose to live or I could choose to die. I chose to live." "Weren’t you scared? Did you lose consciousness?" I asked. Michael continued, "... the paramedics were great. They kept telling me I was going to be fine. But when they wheeled me into the operation room and I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared. In their eyes, l read 'He's a dead man.' I knew I needed to take action." "What did you do?" I asked. "Well, there was a big burly nurse shouting questions at me” said Michael. "She asked me if I was allergic to anything. ‘Yes,’ I said. The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply. I took a deep breath and yelled", ‘Gravity’” Over their laughter, I told them, 'I'm choosing to live. Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead'."
Michael lived, thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude. I Learned from him that every day we have a choice to live fully. Attitude is everything.
