Proper care and love

適度的愛(ài)

With good intention, our parents tend to shower us as much care and love as possible to save us the trouble and hardships they have once confronted. They arrange everything for us, and spare no efforts to pave the way to our success.

However, too much care and love can do harm to the children’s development. Definitely, we’ll need the experience of carrying our own schoolbags to detect the weight of knowledge; we’ll need the chances to make the bed and wash the clothes by ourselves to build the sense of self-reliance; we’ll need the opportunities to make our own choices to learn to be independent. Proper care and love are necessary for our growth.

孩子是父母的焦點(diǎn)，肩上承載著希望和責(zé)任。父母為孩子安排的許多事，毋庸置疑是為孩子鋪平成功的道路；然而過(guò)多的關(guān)心和愛(ài)護(hù)反而會(huì)給孩子的成長(zhǎng)帶來(lái)壞處，學(xué)生需要自己背上書包感受知識(shí)的重量，需要獨(dú)立成長(zhǎng)，學(xué)會(huì)自己做決定。

 Challenge yourself

挑戰(zhàn)自己

An English speech contest was about to be held. The news was just like a stone thrown into a peaceful pool. Everone  was facing a choice: to take it or not.

At first, I hesitated. Butafter much struggling, I wrote down my name with my heart beating wildly. I picked and chose and decided on the topic of “Clone man”. Then I got into the preparations. Eventually, I got myself into the best condition possible for me and did decently well on stage and made it to the final of the contest.

Faced with the challenges, some may choose to meet them while others may decide to escape, which will make a difference to their future respectively. The former will build up experience and knowledge and confidence to a brighter future for sure.

當(dāng)我們聽(tīng)到下星期有英語(yǔ)演講競(jìng)賽時(shí)，同學(xué)們熱情高漲，每個(gè)人都面對(duì)一個(gè)選擇，接受還是拒絕。在掙扎之后，我報(bào)名參賽，把主題定為“克隆人”，在比賽中我盡了最大的努力。這次經(jīng)歷讓我受益匪淺，面對(duì)挑戰(zhàn)，有人接受有人逃避，勇于迎接挑戰(zhàn)，讓我更有勇氣面對(duì)未來(lái)。

Choice and Perseverance

選擇+堅(jiān)持

Last Wednesday, we were greatly honored to invite Mr. Xu, our principal as well as a famous educationist, to give a lecture to us students of Grade III. With a broad smile, Mr. Xu began with sharing his own experience, emphasizing the fatal importance of choice and perseverance. He told us that the more books we read, the wider vision we will have.After benefiting from the speech, we hold the firm belief that years of hard work will surely pay off in due time, sooner or later.

徐校長(zhǎng)的演講讓我們意識(shí)到在人生旅程中，選擇和堅(jiān)持有著重要意義?？锤嗟臅?，打開(kāi)自己的世界，不論時(shí)間早晚，付出的努力一定會(huì)給我們的人生中帶來(lái)收獲。
