老人摔倒扶不扶的英语作文(汇总20篇)

清晨，繁忙的街上穿梭着各种各样的人们，有买早饭的，有上班的，还有去公园锻炼的……突然，前面街道上围着许多人，这是怎么一回事呢？

我很疑惑，我费了九牛二虎之力钻进人群堆，只见一位白发苍苍的老奶奶，蜷缩在路面上，手里还紧紧握着一根拐杖，痛苦地呻吟着：“扶我一把吧，求求你们了。”

围观的人虽然很多，但却丝毫没有想扶老奶奶的意思，路上的行人见了，有些就像见了“瘟神”一样绕道走开了。一位拎着公文包的上班中年人，看见倒在地上的老奶奶，几乎是以跑步的速度离开现场，也许他在心里想，还是离这种是非之地远一点好。另外有两位买菜的大妈，其中一位大妈说：“我们一起扶这位老奶奶起来，你打电话给120，我给老奶奶拍拍身上的灰尘。”另一位大妈却不赞同，说：“别扶了，别扶了，我们还要去买菜的，要是她缠上我们，怎么办呀！”前一位大妈听着也有道理，于是两位大妈一起走开了。

其他人呢？有的悄悄地走了，有的在老奶奶旁边纷纷议论着。忽然，不知从哪里冒出来两位小学生，毫不犹豫地走到老奶奶跟前，小心翼翼地把老奶奶扶起来，轻轻地拍掉老奶奶身上的灰尘，说：“老奶奶，没事吧？”老奶奶一只手拄着拐杖，另一只紧紧握住其中一位学生的手不停地说：“谢谢你们，谢谢你们！”

围观的人看见了，有的惭愧地低下了头，有的竖起大拇指，有一位姐姐还把手上的鲜花献给了这两位小学生。

我看着眼前的一切，我也有点脸红，我为什么不上前扶一把呢？我在心里默默地想：我要向两位小学生学习，要乐于助人。

Old People in America

live alone. At the same time, Americans are living longer and longer. The number of old people is always growing.

Some old people like to stay in their old homes. They do not want to move from their old homes. They do not want to move from their hometown. They are near their .friends and family. But some do not have a lot of friends. They want to meet new people. They want to live in a quiet place with other people of their age.

A large number of old people are moving to the South. It is warm there. You do not have to walk through the snow in winter,or pay a lot of money for heating.

A large number of old people are moving to the South only for old people. One of these is Sun City, near Phoenix, Arizona. All the families in Sun City must have one person over the age of 50 ,and children under 18 years old cant live there.

一天放学，我看到一个白发苍苍的老爷爷摔倒了，仰着坐在路上，雨淅沥沥地下着。我想我要不要去扶他。

正在这时，一只狗跑了出来，他对着老爷爷汪汪地叫，随后它的主人跑了过来。他看到摔倒的老人，毫无犹豫的将他扶了起来，说：老人家！你没事吧？老爷爷没说话，默默地走了。

老爷爷怎么没说一声谢谢就走了呢，他不会以为是狗的主人撞到他吧？我转身看到狗的主人已经牵着小狗走了，他并没有因为老爷爷而影响了心情。

尊老爱幼是我国的传统美德，所以我们看见老人摔倒后一定要扶。

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.

大家一定记得，有一道国民考题曾风靡一时，热议不断：老人摔倒了，是扶还是不扶？

答案有多种。一种回答很干脆，——“不扶”！害人之心不可有，防人之心不可无。因扶而惹上官司、赔上金钱，犯不着！

一种回答很纠结。——“等等看”！人命关天。不扶伤良心，扶了有风险。待别人来扶，由别人担责，岂不两全其美？

另一种回答很谨慎。——“先拍照再扶”！了解当时情况，做好现场证据，再扶。

我无意评判这个答案的对与错，也不会依此来衡量人品的高与低。我在想，老人摔倒在地要扶一把，这样简单的事都不能理直气壮地去做。这样的社会风气到底怎么啦？

是世风日下的薄情？还是人心叵测的陷阱？还是事不关己的冷漠？无疑：连一个老人都扶不起的社会，是一个没有道德底线，也不可能有精神高度的社会。这样的社会，还会企望它有善和美吗？还会奢求它有情和义吗？关键是，我们的社会是否真的就良知泯灭、集体沉沦了呢？

2014年的小品《扶不扶》将这个公共话题搬上了春晚舞台。“人倒了还可以扶起来，人心倒了就扶不起来了！”此语一出，即赢得亿万观众的声声喝彩和阵阵掌声！

在这如潮似雷的喝彩和掌声中，我感受到了巨大的道德支撑，也体会到了潜力无限的正能量。

是的，我们不能因个别案例的影响而心灰意冷，也不能低估社情民意而丧失美德自信，更不能各打各的小算盘而麻木不仁。“人人为我，我为人人”，“凡人善举，好人好报”道德信念的缔结，需要我们每一个人来倡导，来传播，来参与！人民有信仰，社会才会有力量！

在邵东，在我们周围，经常活跃着践行帮扶美德、传播正能量的“凡人”，道德模范、火厂坪镇村民何汉智，见义勇为，于危难中显身手，火中救人；身边好人、灵官殿镇村官刘长庚，助人为乐，几十年如一日，捐资公益……哪里有困难，哪里就会出现他们的身影；哪里有愁苦，哪里就会留下他们的足迹。他们给孤寡者以欢笑，给弱小者以力量，给病患者以希望。他们的身影成为一道道流动的风景！

善举如潮，爱心似海。去年六一儿童节，在百富广场举办的“心得乐”活动，社会各界人士纷至沓来，慷慨解囊，帮扶100名特困学生。我攥着省下来的压岁钱和零花钱，满头大汗地挤进了水泄不通的人流，在感受到人们浓浓爱意的同时，也捐献了自己的爱心。短短的几个小时，现场就捐得308万元。这是爱的奉献，这是情的迸发，这是正能量的喷涌！

在践行核心价值观的今天，我们不但要毫不迟疑地扶起摔倒的老人，还要义无反顾地“扶起”一切需要帮扶的人。

扶起，是传统道德的传承和升华！

扶起，是时代新风的延续和开拓！

扶起，是向上向善的希望和见证！

同学们，让我们用心感受真、崇尚善、追求美吧，不要再犹豫，不要再退缩，从小事做起，从身边做起，用自己的实际行动来诠释社会正气，弘扬时代新风！

The Double Ninth Festival is coming. Every family is busy preparing for the

Double Ninth Festival. My home is no exception. Look, my father is making

Chongyang cake, my mother is making Chongyang wine, and my grandparents are

cooking. As for me, of course, its backup support - preparing materials for

grandparents.

After a while, I ran sweating. Watching my grandparents and parents cooking

food, I was a little jealous. Why can they make food, I cant. Watch me cook a

dish to impress them. So I sneaked to my grandparents and took some materials.

Without looking at them, I poured them into the pot. I picked up the spatula and

began to fry. But when I was frying, I felt something wrong. I always felt that

a strange smell floated around in the air. I looked into the pot. It turned out

that the materials I took were chocolate sauce and eggs, and fried them into

chocolate flavored eggs. My grandmother wanted to put materials into the pot.

When the eggs and chocolate sauce were gone, she called me, "Congcong, buy me

some materials. Im short of eggs and chocolate sauce." well, I thought in my

heart, so I had to tell the story again.

So I told the story in detail. Grandma laughed and said, "congcongcong,

grandma, Ill teach you a dish, but I want to buy some materials. I dont know

if youd like to?" "of course I do!" as I said, I ran out of the house quickly

and bought materials back. "This dish is called God robbery. Its done like

this: smash the eggs, put the beaten eggs into the mold, pour some water, put

the gluten into the mold, put some small chocolate on it, and then heat it in

the microwave for 10 minutes." who knows, its not done well this time, but its

made into something full of water.

The second time, just like the last time. Just when I was ready to give up,

I saw the spiders outside. I thought: since the spiders web is broken, the

spider can still weave again. Spiders have such a persistent spirit, why cant

I? So I started the third time. I did every step carefully and finally did the

God robbery. I took a bite. It was delicious.

This time, let me taste not

only the sweetness in my mouth, but also the sweetness in my heart.

In the world has more than 60 hundred million populations. In the middle of this has us to know that has us not to know. Then human and between the human needs to be assorted maintains?

A nurse walks saw mother anxious appearance, saw my pain the expression, smiled was saying, everybody looked could let this child look first, the crowded people gave us to let a road all of a sudden. Cared mutually the loving care is important. We should help any to need us soulful the person.

万物复苏的春天，孕育着新生与希望。天空中放飞着一只只漂亮的风筝，其中最美的那只上面写着两个字“道德”。

每个人手中都握着“道德”风筝的线，有的人将这只风筝放得越来越高，而有的人却放飞了这只风筝，或许再也找不回来了。

紧握“道德”风筝的线，他得到了什么?

紧握住手中的线，他得到了尊敬与称颂。丛飞，一名歌手，生前倾其全力资助了183名贫困儿童，捐款捐物累计300多万元。他自己并不富裕，但却将义演经费悉数捐出，“他把所有的时间和金钱都给了那些需要帮助的孩子，没有丝毫保留，甚至不惜向生命借贷。”他用一生传递和弘扬着一种美德，他得到了社会的认可、人们的称颂与尊敬!

紧握手中的线，他们演绎出现代传奇。他们为尊严承诺，为良心奔波，在中华大地上进行了一场悲情接力 。孙水林、孙东林兄弟坚守着“新年不欠旧年账，今生不欠来生债”的信条，20年坚守承诺，被人们赞为“信义兄弟”。

松开了“道德”风筝的线，他失去了什么?

松开了“道德”风筝的线，他失去了人性和良知。今年愚人节，在上海浦东机场，发生了一个真实的悲剧：赴日留学生汪某因学费问题，与前来接机的母亲发生争执。汪某竟拔出水果刀连刺母亲9刀，致其当场昏迷。汪某虽放飞了“知识”的风筝，却松开了“道德”的风筝线，他失去了人性和良知。

类似事件也时有发生。8岁乖儿子因争吵欲掐死母亲，23岁青年杀死双亲后还去网吧上网，名牌大学的学生因母亲干涉自己的“人生的选择”挥刀弑母等……他们的“道德”风筝都断了线，而他们也失去了道德、良知，得到的是社会的批判、舆论的鞭挞以及永无止境的铁窗生活。

风筝只有在紧握者手中才能越飞越高，而松开了手，风筝就会坠落……

请不要松开“道德”风筝的线，生命的春天有了它才会更加美丽!

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.

Should you help the old when he/she falls down on the street?

In current days , with the development of society and economic ,series of social problems are appeared. In order to analyze this phenomenon three universities in Beijing jointly distribute an opinion poll about “Should you help the old when he/she falls down on the street?”.

From the result of this survey, we know that 29.6 percent of the people are surveyed think that whether they help the old or not will according to the circumstance. The people who will help the old are the most ,they accounted for 64.8 percent of them. And also have 8.3 percent hold the view that the old shouldn’t be help.

Why don’t they help the old falls down on the street? 5.3 percent of them are lack of medical knowledge. And 7.2 percent of them think that it’s not related to them. But the major, 87.4 percent of them are afraid of getting themselves into trouble.

Through this result, we can see clearly that crisis of confidence between people. Sincere and confidence are replaced by dishonest and hypocritical. Cautious and alert are deeply rooted.

In my opinion, we all should help each other. Respect and take good care of the old is the traditional Chinese virtues. When we meet the case, we’d better call health care workers for help. Because we lack of medical knowledge may cause more harm to the old. I hope there is less harm and more worm in our life.

当他/她跌倒在街上时，你应该帮助老人吗?

当前，随着社会经济的发展，出现了一系列社会问题。为了分析这一现象，北京三所大学联合发布了一项民意调查，“当老人摔倒在街上时，你应该帮助老人吗?”。

从本次调查的结果，我们知道，百分之29.6的人被调查认为，他们是否帮助老人或不将根据情况。帮助老人的人最多，他们占百分之64.8。也有百分之8.3个认为老人不应该帮助。

他们为什么不帮助老人在街上跌倒呢?其中百分之5.3是缺乏医学知识。百分之7.2的人认为这与他们无关。但少校，其中百分之87.4人害怕惹上麻烦。

通过这个结果，我们可以清楚地看到人们之间的信任危机。真诚和自信被虚伪和虚伪所取代。谨慎和警惕根深蒂固。

在我看来，我们都应该互相帮助。尊重和爱护老人是中华民族的传统美德。当我们遇到这种情况时，我们最好打电话给卫生保健人员寻求帮助。因为我们缺乏医学知识可能会对老年人造成更多伤害。我希望生活中少一些伤害和更多的虫子。

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 .

俗话说：“夕阳无限好，人间重晚情。”尊老爱幼是我们每一个少先队员的责任，我们应该把尊老爱幼落实到生活中。 还记得那一天，天气睛朗，我迈着轻快的步伐，哼着小曲，攥着钱，准备去超市里买东西。在路上，我看见了一位两鬓斑白，身材佝偻的老奶奶，老奶奶拄着一根大约一米长的拐杖，正准备过马路，马路上的车辆川流不息地行驶着，那位老奶奶步履蹒跚地向对面走去，突然，我抬头一看，绿灯快要变成红灯了，可是老奶奶似乎毫不知情，仍然缓慢地向对面走去。我心急如焚，正当我想把奶奶叫住的时候，忽然，有一个大哥哥像风一般地从我身后跑过去，拦住了那位老奶奶，焦急地对老奶奶说：“奶奶，现在是红灯，等绿灯亮了，我再扶您过去。”老奶奶万分感激，连忙道：“谢谢你，小伙子，谢谢你提醒我，不然我真的就横穿马路了。”过了一会儿，红灯变成了绿灯，那位大哥哥小心翼翼地扶着老奶奶慢慢地走到了对面，老奶奶笑着说：“你真是一个好人啊!”那位大哥哥腼腆地笑了笑，便走了，老奶奶躬着身子颤颤巍巍地回家了。望着他们的背影，我感慨万千，忍不住想：“如果人人都能献出一些爱心，那么全世界一定会更加美丽。” “老吾老以及人之老，幼吾幼以及人之幼。”尊老爱幼是我们中华民族的传统美德，这一幕，我仍然记忆犹新，它就像一颗北极星闪烁在我的脑海中，回想起那个人的举动，我仿佛回到了过去，看见了雷锋，我也要助人为乐，争当活雷锋。

[小学英语日记之帮助老人

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.

开始，老人先是准备了几天，然后划船离开码头。几天后，他找到合适的地点钓起鱼来。可令他非常意外的事情发生了，他捕到一条大鱼，然而当天，他没办法把那条鱼拉上来，因为鱼太大太有力量了。就这样，一场较量开始了。连继二天，他们都在拉来拉去。到了第三天，较量终于以老人获胜结束了。老人发现那条大鱼竟然比老人的船还长，老人决定把那条大鱼绑在船舷上返航。可一件非常不幸的事发生了，途中鲨鱼开始吃那条鱼。就这样，老人和鲨鱼战斗起来。每天，老人都要打死一些鲨鱼，虽然很残酷，可要保住这条鱼又有什么办法呢。

最终，鱼肉被鲨鱼吃光了，只剩下骨架，老人被打败了。然而他休息了几天，又准备出海打鱼了。

我要学习老人坚持不懈的精神。

At a glance,this seems to be a simple question that requires only a "yes" or "no" answer.However,due to various incidents that have occurred recently,this issue has now become a topic worth contemplating about.

Imagine if your very own grandfather or grandmother fell.Would you hesitate before helping them up?Would you consider,even just for a second,that they could be faking all this,just to get some money out of you?Well,the answer is obviously no.So why then,do we stop and think before helping old people up when they fall over?They are,after-all,somebodys grandfather or grandmother.

Maybe you are worried that they will accuse you of pushing them over and then make you give them money.But really,we cant blame them for this.If they could lead a sufficient life on their own,these meager citizens would not stoop so low as to blackmail others.

Instead of debating over whether or not we should help old people up when they fall over,we should cure the problem at its root,in the heart of society.

今天，我看了一本书，它的名字叫做《老人与海》，这本书是美国的海明威写的，这本书的主人公叫做桑提阿果爷爷，就让我给你们讲讲这个故事吧！

小说的素材来自于真正的故事：桑提阿果爷爷独自在海上打鱼，他已经有好久没钓到一条鱼了，有一天，一只大鱼咬住了他的鱼钩，桑提阿果爷爷想把它拉上来，可拉不动，那条鱼带着桑提阿果爷爷一直游啊游，大鱼游得精疲力尽了，桑提阿果爷爷把大鱼的鱼头和上半身绑在小船边上。但是桑提阿果爷爷在回去的路上遇到了鲨鱼，老人使出了浑身力气和鲨鱼搏斗，鲨鱼把能吃到的鱼肉都吃了，回到家时，大鱼只剩下不到一半，却还有800磅左右。

这本书让我受益匪浅。桑提阿果爷爷不被任何困难所压服，尽自己最大的努力与生活中的磨难做不屈不挠的斗争。他说：“一个人并不是生来就要给打败的，你尽可以消灭他，却不能打败他。”这种永不言败的硬骨头精神深深地刻在了我的心上，有也要像桑提阿果爷爷那样，永不言败。

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
