From a middle class family, I was born in Hsin Ying, Tainan on October 10th, 1965. My father is a civil official at Tainan City Government. My mother is a house wife good at cooking. Although I am the only child of my parents, I am by no mans a spoiled one.() On the contrary, I have been expected to be a successful man with advanced education. I study hard at school. Besides texts knowledge, journalism is my favorite; whenever reading, my heart is filled with great joy and interesting.

“Being good is must; successful, however, is plus.” Father adopts the idea of his father. Especially in military service, I realized it more precisely. People said: Military service makes a boy to man, I agree that.

I realized the importance of English and began to study diligently when I was eighteen. I did not start in my early age, but I hope that I could pass the test of General English Proficiency Test. And this is my best wish at the moment.

Nowadays, the employment of college students is becoming more and more of a problem. About a decade ago, university students could find satisfactory and enviable jobs after graduation, while the things are quite different at present. In addition, according to statistics, about 30% of graduate students can’t find a job but stay at home after graduation。

Employment difficulty of college students is due to the following reasons. Among these, the increasing recruitment of colleges and universities plays a vital role. In addition, many colleges and universities fail to adapt their courses to the development of economy。

Considering the seriousness of unemployment of college students, I think it is high time that we took effective measures to solve the problem. Above all, college students should realize their own defects and further improve themselves to keep their competitive edge in society. Moreover, colleges or universities should provide more trainings and internship opportunities before the students enter the society. Besides, college students should hold a right attitude towards jobs and set their job expectations at a suitable level. Only through these ways can the college students find a satisfactory job and have a brighter future。

如今,大学生的就业变得越来越多的一个问题。大约十年前,大学生在毕业后能找到满意的和令人羡慕的工作,而目前的情况有很大的不同。此外,据统计,约有30%的研究生找不到工作,但毕业后呆在家里。

就业困难的大学生是由于以下原因。其中,高校招聘的增加起着至关重要的作用。此外,许多学院和大学无法使他们的课程适应经济的发展。

考虑到大学生的失业的严重性,我认为这是时候,我们采取了有效的措施来解决这个问题。最重要的是,大学生应该意识到自己的缺陷和进一步提高自己在社会中保持他们的竞争优势。此外,学院或大学应该提供更多的培训和实习机会的学生进入社会。除此之外,大学生应该持有正确的态度工作,他们的工作预期在一个合适的水平。只有通过这些方式可以大学生找一份满意的工作,有一个光明的未来。

If I Rest, I Rust

The significant inscription found on an old key - "If I rest, I rust." - would be an excellent motto for those who are afflicted with slightest bit of idleness. Even the most industrious person might adopt it with advantage to serve as a reminder that, if one allows his faculties to rest, like the iron in the unused key, they will soon show signs of rust and, ultimately, cannot do the work required of them.

在一把旧钥匙上发现了一则意义深远的铭文——如果我休息，我就会生锈。对于那些懒散而烦恼的人来说，这将是至理名言。甚至最为勤勉的人也以此作为警示:如果一个人有才能而不用，就像废弃钥匙上的铁一样，这些才能就会很快生锈，并最终无法完成安排给自己的工作。

Those who would attain the heights reached and kept by great men must keep their faculties polished by constant use, so that they may unlock the doors of knowledge, the gates that guard entrances to the professions, to science, art, literature, agriculture-every department of human endeavor.

有些人想取得伟人所获得并保持的成就，他们就必须不断运用自身才能，以便开启知识的大门，即那些通往人类努力探求的各个领域的大门，这些领域包括各种职业:科学，艺术，文学，农业等。

Industry keeps bright the key that opens the treasury of achievement. If Hugh Miller, after toiling all day in quarry had devoted his evenings to rest and recreation, he would never have become a famous geologist. The celebrated mathematician, Edmund Stone would never have published a mathematical dictionary, never have found the key to science of mathematics, if he had given his " moments to idleness. Had the little Scotch lad, Ferguson, had allowed the busy brain to go to sleep while he tended sheep on the hillside, instead of calculating the position of the stars by a string of beads, he would never become a famous,astronomer.

勤奋使开启成功宝库的钥匙保持光亮。如果休·米勒在采石场劳作一天后，晚上的时光用来休息消遣的话，他就不会成为名垂青史的地质学家。著名数学家爱德蒙·斯通如果闲暇时无所事事，就不会出版数学词典，也不会发现开启数学之门的钥匙。如果苏格兰青年弗格森在山坡上放羊时，让他，那思维活跃的大脑处于休息状态，而不是借助一串珠子计算星星的位置，他就不会成为著名的天文学家。

Labor vanquish all-not inconstant, spasmodic or ill-directed labor; but faithful, unremitting daily effort toward a well-directed purpose. Just as truly as eternal vigilance is the price of liberty, So is eternal industry the price of noble and enduring success.

劳动征服一切。这里所指的劳动不是断断续续的，间歇性的或方向偏差的劳动，而是坚定的，不懈的，方向正确的每日劳动。正如要想拥有自由就要时刻保持警惕一样，要想取得伟大的，持久的成功，就必须坚持不懈地努力。

I was born in a small village of Shan Dong Province on April 4th, 1968. When I was young, my family was very poor, so I had to work to earn money to help my parents after class when I was in the middle school.

In 1986 I was admitted by University of International Business and Economics (or: UIBE) to pursue a bachelor degree in Economics. My major is accounting in Department of International Business Management. The undergraduate education gave me a wide range of vision and taught me how to cooperate with others. I developed several professional interests in Accounting, Finance, and International Trade.

The following eight-year working experience offered me a good chance to give full play to my creativity, intelligence and diligence. In 1990-1993, I worked as an assistant to funding manager in China National Technical Import and Export Corporation. In 1993-present, I was employed by China Kingdom Import and Export Corporation to be the Manger of Financial and Accounting Division.

I do believe that with my hard early life, solid educational background and ample working experience, I would be an excellent student of you MBA program.

MY PERSONAL ACCOMPLISHMENT: After graduating from UIBE, I was employed as the assistant to the funding manager by China National Technical Import and Export Corporation. After reading a lot of related files, and analyzing the overall funding situation of the corporation, I found that the loan policy was not been put into effect. So we have thousands of millions RMB loan with very high interest rate while a large amount of cash in bank with very low interest rate was idle. I reported this to my supervisor, and then we studied and revised the loan policy. This revision saved the corporation approximately RMB thirty millions yuan. In order to raise the funding effectiveness, after one year’s hard work, I developed the internal banking system within the corporation based on the actual funding supply and need of the different divisions and projects. This internal banking system made full use of the corporation’ funding resources, and due to this, I was highly praised by the president of the corporation.

WHY CHOOSE YOUR MBA PROGRAM? After I have worked in business area for eight years, I feel that I need to continue my education by pursuing a Master degree in business administration. I have practiced my professional expertise in accounting, demonstrated my leadership abilities and perfected my communication skills. But I have yet to become an entrepreneur in my own right, and to fully master the art of modern business. I want to be trained more vigorously in scientific methods of analysis and synthesis. There are a lot of opportunities and challenges in China that I do not yet fell fully confident to seize. My business career has so far benefited mostly the companies that I worked for, but a good business education in your university will probably become a new era for me.

Your university is well known for its excellence in China’s business education. I am sure that, with my extensive business experience, I can be a worthy student of yours. I am anxious to benefit from your seasoned guidance and take advantage of your research facilities.

Last summer,I had an English contest on environmental protection at the Youth Culture Palace of the city.What an unforttable experience for me!

The contest,whose aim was to let more people know the bad environmental conditions we are facing and the urgency of protecting it,was hosted by the Environmental Protection Burua.Fifty top contestants from twenty schools throughout the city took part.All of them were required to answer the questions in English in ten minutes.In order to prepare for it,I went through a very hard time.

When I was chosen to attend the competition,I felt nervous first,for my English was not good.But after a deep thinking,I made a decision that I should go for it.Thats a very good opportunity for me to improve my English,as well as know more about the environmental protection which is of great importance to us human beings.I began to learn English very hard,paying much attention to the knowledge of environmental protection,such as using environmentally friendly bags instead of plastic ones,saving water and electricity and taking a bus and underground when going out.Thats hard work,but I enjoyed it.

The exciting time came at last.On the morning of July 27th,2010,thousands of people crowded at the Youth Culture Palace,watching the contest.Now it was my turn to perform.I was a little nervous at first.I tried to calm down.Soon I was OK.I answered the questions one after another,no mistakes occurring.Ten minutes passed by,I went back to my seat,smiles on my face.I did a good job.

To my great delight,the first prize came to me.I knew I deserved it.Hard work leads to success.

We often see there is a table cloth, a book or something else on the desk in the classroom or library, indicating the seat is taken. This kind of phenomenon is very usual in almost all colleges and universities. Strangely enough, most of students seem to take this for granted, and few will protest it.

我们经常看到有一块桌布，在教室或图书馆的桌子上一本书或其他什么的，说明座位的。这种现象几乎在所有大学中是很常见的。奇怪的是，大多数学生似乎认为这是理所当然的，很少有人会反对它。

Though most of students’ taking seats in advance is for better study, this kind of phenomenon has great negative effects. On the one hand, it is a selfish behavior, which damages other students’ interests. Sometimes even if many students come to the classroom very early, they can not find a seat. On the other hand, reserving a seat violates the rule of fairness. No matter how late you come to class, the seat is still reserved for you even though many others are eager for that seat.

虽然大多数学生提前为更好的研究，这种现象有很大的负面影响。一方面，这是一种自私的行为，损害其他学生的利益。有时，即使许多学生到教室很早，他们无法找到一个座位。另一方面，违反了公平原则。无论多晚你来上课，这座仍然为您保留，尽管很多人想要的座位。

Considering the above-mentioned, I think, it is high time that we college students took a good look of our behavior. Indeed, only if all of us can improve our consciousness, it is not a difficult task for us to get rid of this kind of phenomenon “reserving a seat”.

鉴于上述，我认为，现在是时候，我们大学生花了我们的行为看起来很好。事实上，如果我们都能提高我们的意识，这是不是一个困难的任务，我们要摆脱这种现象”预订座位”。

Nowadays, the problem of college students employment becoming more and

more serious. About a decade ago, university students could find satisfactory

and enviable jobs after graduation, while at current situation, about 30% of

graduate students can’t find a job but stay at home after graduation.

Employment difficulty of college students is due to the following reasons.

Among these, the increasing recruitment of colleges and universities plays a

vital role. In addition, many colleges and universities fail to adapt their

courses to the development of economy.

Considering such a rough job market, I think it is high time that we took

effective measures to solve the problem. Above all, college students should

realize their own defects and further improve themselves to keep their

competitive edge in society.

Moreover, colleges or universities should provide more trainings and

internship opportunities before the students enter the society. Besides, college

students should hold a right attitude towards jobs and set their job

expectations at a suitable level.

Only through these ways can the college students find a satisfactory job

and have a brighter future.

More and more college students, in recent years, are finding it difficult

to find jobs. This may sound strange since college students used to be the "most

favored" people in society. They have received a higher education, hence they

are more intelligent, knowledgeable than their counterparts who failed to attend

college. But chances are that some of them can hardly find jobs after graduating

from colleges.

There are two reasons that account for this strange phenomenon. One is that

some college students cannot come to terms with themselves and with the world

around them. They pursue too high goals and are too particular about such

factors as working conditions, salary, and so on. Therefore, they are reluctant

to accept the job when they are offered to them. Another reason is that the

majors some students pursue do not match with the demands of the job market. As

a result, they canonly sit and miss opportunities.

To solve this problem, I think college students should know their own

strengths and weaknesses and have the right attitude towards themselves and the

job vacancies. In addition, they should not attach too much importance to

material aspects of the job. They should put priority to their future

development and their contributions to society in stead. Furthermore, they

should think of receiving some further training to meet the demands of

society.

I heard my mother say Peixing Mathematical Olympiad classes taught well, but this time is not so simple. To the test first, if not the qualified words will not receive stars. Even if you are qualified, but the teacher gives you the time, you can slowly but you slow reaction at the same time to tell the correct answer these errors in the teacher reminded. What the teacher wants is not your correct answer, but what you do not understand!

When I arrived there test, finally know why stars earning so tight! There are a lot of people there! You cant do it when you go up the stairs.

When you go in, the teacher gives you a roll. It looks very simple on the roll. Its always unpleasant when you do it. Made before a few, to the last few questions when I get to the dizzy. The easy answer is in line with the condition, but it does not conform to that condition. I think my head is going to explode! I thought, "I cant spend it all the time!" At that time, I looked at the blackboard to close his eyes and think about the problem. God Kung Fu did not bear the mind and let me write it out! But the rest of the 3 questions I really did not count, and I wrote the answer that I wanted to meet a condition. At that time, I thought I would pass through, the wrong question let the teacher tell me, remember this problem, do not be wrong again!

After the roll out, my heart banged. Fear not! When the teacher read my name, the strained legs were soft, and the past looked at the wrong 4 questions. I was so scared! Mom said three of the questions the teacher will not let you see the papers, do not tell you wrong. Whats more, I was wrong 4 questions! The teacher let me go to the office said let the teacher give me wrong, I didnt react Im close to the edge of the pass. The teacher told me patiently, but I was flurried to think of the problem and say to the teacher, the teacher asked me if you were sure? I said sure, the teacher was patient and I talked a few times, and finally the teacher said, "this is your last chance to answer the right, understand, you will sign up." Do not answer, do not understand even if. I had a quiet mind to think of the answer and tell the teacher once. The teacher took me. I was dumbfounded. I was passing! I passed! I shouted to the downstairs, "Ive passed it!" I was jumping up and down the stairs!

I went down and shouted, "Ive passed it!" Its gone! Its gone! " I now know that what I know in my mind is not as much as I think! I know everything there, and I dont have a lot of it! I want to continue to learn more knowledge and enrich my brain!

Recently, the phenomenon of students pursue famous brands has become the focus of the public concern.They always do anything in order to buy what they want. What has caused this problem?It is no easy/simple task to offer the reason for this phenomenon which involves more than one complicated factor.

There are two aspects reason as follows. On the one hand,with the development of the economy/society/people’s living standard, we can afford the articles of luxury. On the other hand,the mind of rivalry is the most important reason.The topic of the famous brands is the main idea among the students, they think a famous brand is a symbol of sophistication and taste.

To change this situation, I suggest that college school students should cultivate positive values and look at things in a proper way.Although brand is the best way to show their status,we shouldn’t pursuit brand blindly.students ought to pay much attention to their studies.

今天是星期天，我们报了英语听力竞赛的同学星期天上午8：30到9：30要去学校考试，全县的选手也都集中在我们学校参加这次英语竞赛。大家星期六都在家里认真的复习，早些时候我们的英语老师毛老师也在给我们提供辅导，进行英语竞赛的考试准备。

今天，这个让人激动而紧张的时刻终于来到了。我被安排三（7）班教室，和许多被安排在同一考室的同学一起，我们走进了三（7）班考室，找到了自己的位置，等待着监考老师的和考试的到来。

考试终于开始了，大家都在认真地听着录音机播放的听力材料，没有发出一点声音，仔细辩听着录音机里传出的每一个单词和每一句句子，生怕错过一个发间。教室里除了录音机里的朗读声，再也听不到任何声响了。我也大家一样，盯着试卷，听着录音，专心致志地答着每一道题目。

时间过得很快，快要结束了，试题也已经听到了最后一题。最后一题对于我来说很难，我就听到了一个单词该怎么写，其他的我全是蒙的。看来，平时还得多练习积累才行！

考试结束的广播响起，终于熬到了考试结束。同学们陆陆续续地走出教室，他们三五成群地向操场走去，一边走，还一边对着答案。我听到班上的几个同学正和别班的几个同学大声地讨论着这次考试的题目，他们也大部分都是最后一题不会做，看来，这题真是难倒了大家啊！

My name is __________ . I am from ______________ . There are _______________ people in my family. My father works in a computer company. He is a computer engineer. My mother works in a international trade company. She is also a busy woman. I have a older sister and a younger brother. My sister is a junior in National Taiwan University. She majors in English. My brother is an elementary school student. He is 8 years old.

Because of my father, I love surfing the Internet very much. I play the on-line game for about 2 hours every day. I wish I could be a computer program designer in the future. And that is why I am applying for the electronics program in your school.

Leo Tolstoy once said, everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.

He is right. We always have great plans and dreams in our minds… too ready to achieve something grand thatChanges the world or benefits all of mankind .For example; we hate pollution and have made up our minds to find new energy sources that keep the environment clean. Yet we still litter on the ground. We complain about traffic jams, so we plan to build more highways to solve the problem, but it never occurs to us that our failure to follow traffic regulations is the leading cause of this situation. We are so concerned that the violence in the media has a bad impact on our children, we urge the government to set laws to protect them. But, do we, as adults, set a good example for our kids? We use nasty words and even spit on the ground in front of them, I dare to say, we harm more!

In my opinion, before we decide to change the world, we had better change ourselves first. As ordinary individuals, we do not have the power to change the world. But we can change our habit of littering, spitting, cussing, we can respect the environment around us, we must act as good models for our kids.

If each of us does all of these little things, all of us, millions and millions of individuals together, together we will be strong …strong enough to change our world!

So please, the next time you do something, think how your actions influence not only you, but those around you too, especially our children …and perhaps more importantly…our planet!

列夫·托尔斯泰曾说过：每个人都想改变这个世界，但是没有人想到改变自己。

他说的很有道理，我们每个人都心怀伟大时志向，时刻准备去干一番能造福全人类的大事业。比如，我们痛恨环境污染，所以我们下定决心去开发新的更高效更干净的能源来保护我们的环境，但是同时我们却随手乱扔垃圾;我们抱怨大城市的交通堵塞，计划造更多的高速路来解决交通问题，但是我们从来没有想过，如果我们能遵守交通规则话，那么这一问题是不是可以得到很大得缓解呢?我们担心电视电影里面得暴力会对我们得孩子产生不良的影响，于是我们敦促政府通过立法来保护未成年人，但是我们这些大人又做得怎么样呢?我们为我们的下一代做好了表率吗?我们说粗话，甚至在孩子面前抽烟。不客气地说，我们对孩子的不良影响更多!

在我看来，在我们打算改变这个世界之前，我们最好先改变一下自己。作为一个普通人，我们其实没有改变这个世界的能力，但是我可以改变我们随地扔垃圾，随地吐痰的坏习惯， 我们应该学会去保护环境，我们应该为我们的孩子起好的表率作用。

如果我们每个人都能从小事起，那么千千万万个人力量汇聚在一起，那力量是强大的，足以改变这个世界。

朋友，当您在做某一件事情的时候，请您想一想，您的行为会对您周围的人产生怎样的影响， 因为，您的行为不单单影响到您自己，还有您周围的人，更重要的是我们的孩子…甚至我们的世界。

There is no denying the fact that it has been a hotly debated topic whether students should attend military training in China in the past years. Opinions on this issue differ sharply. Some hold the positive view. They say that the training can not only build up students’ bodies but also temper their willpower. Besides, through the training, students can develop their team-spirit and sense of discipline.Others, however, hold the opposite view. They say that a short period of training as students are having now cannot work well in building up their bodies or strengthen their will. Instead, we should lay emphasis on their daily exercise and activities for such purpose. What’s more, a sudden increase of intense physical exercise, especially during summer, does harm to students’ health and may even cause deaths. What happened in the past years has proved this.

Weighing the pros and cons of these arguments, I am inclined to agree with the former point of view. Military training is not only a means to strengthen student’s physique and willpower, but also an effective way to enhance their sense of national defense and foster their patriotism. Though some deaths happened during the training, we should not give up eating for fear of choking. Besides, the deaths are perfect evidence that students need more such training. Of course, measures should be taken to ensure that the least harm is done to the trainees.

[大学生军训的英语作文

今天晚上，我去上菁华浩扬英语课时，徐老师让我们分成两组举行了一场对抗赛。首先她让我们给自己的队伍起一个好听的名字，于是在叽叽喳喳的叫嚷中我们选中了“雏鹰队”这个名字，而对手却选择了“猛虎队”来做他们的队名。

竞赛开始了，老师在我们两个队各挑了一个人，让他们到黑板前写单词，“斗”了几个回合后，我们组领先了两分，对方恼羞成怒，拼命想把比分给扳回来。可是在读单词环节中他们又输惨了，结果现在我们已经领先四分了。到最后一个抢答的环节了，老师说：“这个项目是考验你们的反应能力的，猛虎队还有扳回比分的机会，要加油呀！”猛虎队员们一个个跃跃欲试，摩拳擦掌，看起来要和我们拼一个你死我活，鱼死网破了。你看在比赛中他们都反应神速，你争我抢的回答问题，可我们的队员也不是好惹得，个个争的面红耳赤，最后徐老师统计比分，我们“雏鹰队”以26：17这样悬殊的差距赢得了比赛。徐老师说：“下次你们猛虎队要加油啊！”

下课了，我们的队员还嘲笑地说：“你们地上跑的还是不如我们天上飞的吧，哈哈哈！”

On College Students Occupying Seats

In English, there is an expression “First Come, First Served” (FCFS). This stresses the need for orderliness, which also applies to college students searching for seats in the reading rooms of a library. However, in China, things are somehow complicated. Instead of occupying seats with their own persons, students tend to use books, backpacks or other personal objects to stand for their “legitimate” ownership of the seats.

To such extent, the emergence of such a practice, now almost ubiquitous on all campuses, is justified. The seats for students to conduct self-study are limited and university authorities should endeavor to increase such facilities to satisfy students needs. At least, students efforts to fight for seats indicate they are enthusiastic about their studies—their academic initiatives should be duly recognized and encouraged! However, using personal belongings to occupy seats may exacerbate the scarcity of facilities—some irresponsible students might never turn up, sometimes even for days. They waste the precious resources and damage the interests of other students who have real needs. Such behavior deserves unconditional criticism and condemnation.

Both university authorities and students should do their best to solve the problem. The authorities should create more reading rooms to satisfy students needs whereas students should not waste the already limited resources. In this way, an optimum allocation of resources can be realized and all students would enjoy their studies.

参考译文

在英语里有个说法，叫做“先到者先得”。它强调的是，人们必须遵守秩序。这一点也适用于大学生们在学校图书馆的阅览室里寻找座位的行为。然而，在中国，事情似乎稍显复杂。学生们不是亲身去占有座位，而往往是用书本、书包或其他个人物件来代表他们对于某个座位的“合法”占有权。

在某种程度上，这种在每个校园里几乎无所不在的做法有其合理之处。学生们用于进行自习的座位数量有限，学校当局应尽力去增加此类设施，以满足学生们的需求。不管怎么说，学生们努力去争夺座位，表明他们热衷于他们的学习——他们的学习主动性应得到应有的认可和鼓励。然而，用个人物品去占座，却很有可能使设施的匮乏更趋严重——有些不责任的学生可能一整天甚至数天都不会现身!他们浪费了宝贵的资源，损害了其他真正有需求的学生的利益。这种行为理应受到无条件的批评，乃至谴责。

无论是校方还是学生们自己，都应尽力去解决这一难题。校方应开辟更多的阅览室来满足学生们的需求，而学生们也不应去浪费早已捉襟见肘的资源。如此一来，一种最佳的资源配置就能得以实现，而所有的学生终将尽享他们的学习。

Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be. (Abraham Lincoln, American president )

对于大多数人来说，他们认定自己有多幸福，就有多幸福。(美国总统 林肯.A.)

The secret of being miserable is to have leisure to bother about whether you are happy or not. (George Bernard Shaw , British dramatist )

痛苦的秘密在于有闲功夫担心自己是否幸福。 (英国剧作家 肖伯纳.G.)

The supreme happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved. (Victor Hugo, French novelist)

生活中最大的幸福是坚信有人爱我们。(法国小说家 雨果.V.)

There is no paradise on earth equal to the union of love and innocence. (Jean Jacques Rousseau, French thinker )

人间最大的幸福莫如既有爱情又清白无暇。(法国思想家 卢梭.J.J. )

To really understand a man we must judge him in misfortune. (Bonaparte Napoleon, French emperor )

要真正了解一个人，需在不幸中考察他。 (法国皇帝 拿破仑.B.)

Happiness is form courage. ( H. Jackson , British writer )

幸福是勇气的一种形式。 (英国作家 杰克逊.H.)

Happy is the man who is living by his hobby. (G. Bernard Shaw , British dramatist )

醉心于某种癖好的人是幸福的。 (英国剧作家 肖伯纳.G.)

Happiness lies not in the mere possession of money; it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort. (Franklin Roosevelt, American president)

幸福不在于拥有金钱，而在于获得成就时的喜悦以及产生创造力的激情。(美国总统 罗斯福.F.)

We have no more right to consume happiness without producing it than to consume wealth without producing it. (George Bernard Shaw, British  dramatist)

正像我们无权只享受财富而不创造财富一样，我们也无权只享受幸福而不创造幸福。(乔治·萧伯纳 英国剧作家)

Some people like to work alone while others enjoy teamwork. In my opinion, everyone had better learn to work with others together because teamwork is definitely necessary and important in modern society.

有些人喜欢单独工作，而有些人则喜欢团队合作。在我看来，每个人最好学习与他人一起工作，因为团队合作在现代社会是很有必要和重要的。

First, working in a team provides a chance for us to communicate with each other. Just as the saying goes, “many hands make light job.” Working in a team, teammates share their ideas with each other, which is helpful to create a better achievement. Second, working in a team is a way to broaden our horizon. Teammates in a team can learn something from each other because they are from different places, owning various experiences and hold different views towards things. Therefore, getting along with other teammates is also a process of increasing our knowledge. Finally, working in a team is also a way to establish our friendship. Teammates in a team have chances to help each other, to solve the problems together, to share the happiness of being successful, which make a great contribution to establishing friendship. Thus, working in a team is one of the most effective ways to extend our personal relationships.

首先，在一个团队中工作为我们提供了一个彼此沟通的机会。正如俗话所说，“众人拾柴火焰高。”在一个团队中工作，队友们互相分享他们的想法，这有助于创造更好的成绩。第二，在团队中工作是拓宽我们视野的一个好方式。一个团队的队友可以相互学习因为他们来自不同地方，拥有不同的经验并且对事物有不同的看法。因此，和其他队友相处融洽也是增长见识的过程。最后，团体合作有助于建立友谊。在一个团队的队友们有机会互相帮助，共同解决问题，分享成功的快乐，这些都为建立友谊做出很大的贡献。因此，在团队工作是最有效的扩展个人关系的方法之一。

To sum up, to learn to work in a team is really necessary and important and we should try to enjoy it.

总之，学习团队合作是真的很有必要和重要。我们应该尽量享受这一点。

a businessman may be so anxious to grow rich that to this end he sacrifices health and private affections.

when at last he has become rich, no pleasure remains to him except harrying other people by exhortations to imitate his noble example.

many rich ladies, although nature has not endowed them with any spontaneous pleasure in literature or art, decide to be thought cultured, and spend boring hours learning the right thing to say about fashionable new books that are written to give delight, not to afford opportunities for dusty snobbism.

I have a dream today.

I have a dream that one day every vally shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.

Wow, what a dream it has been for Martin Luther King. But the changing world seems telling me that people gradually get their dreams lost somehow in the process of growing up, and sometimes I personally find myself saying goodbye unconsciously to those distant childhood dreams.

However, we meed dreams. They nourish our spirit; they represent possibility even when we are dragged down by reality. They keep us going. Most successful people are dreamers as well as ordinary people who are not afraid to think big and dare to be great. When we were little kids, we all dreamed of doing something big and splashy, something significant. Now what we need to do is to maintain them, refresh them and turn them into reality. However, the toughest part is that we often have no ideas how to translate these dreams into actions. Well, just start with concrete objectives and stick to it. Don’t let the nameless fear confuse the eye and confound our strong belief of future. Through our talents, through our wits, through our endurance and through our creativity, we will make it.

Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly. Hold fast to dreams, for when dreams go, life is a barren field frozen with snow. So my dear friends, think of your old and maybe dead dreams. Whatever it is, pick it up and make it alive from today.
