如何提高大学生社交能力英语作文
如何提高大学生社交能力英语作文全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1How to Be a Super Social College Student!Hi there, friends! Today, we're going to talk about something super important for college kids – being social! You know, making friends, talking to people, and having fun together. It's like having a big party every day, but without the cake and balloons (unless you really want cake and balloons, then go for it!).Now, some of you might be thinking, "But I'm already a social butterfly! I talk to everyone!" That's awesome, but even the coolest kids can always learn new tricks. And for those of you who feel a little shy sometimes, don't worry! We're going to learn how to become the life of the party (or at least feel comfortable being there).First things first, let's talk about confidence. Confidence is like a super power that makes you feel brave and awesome. When you're confident, you can walk up to anyone and start a conversation without feeling nervous or scared. It's like havingan invisible force field that protects you from worries and doubts.But how do you get this amazing confidence super power? Well, it's all about believing in yourself! Tell yourself every day that you're amazing, smart, and fun to be around. Practice standing up tall, making eye contact, and speaking clearly. The more you do it, the more natural it will feel, and before you know it, you'll be oozing confidence like a superhero!Next up, let's talk about conversation skills. Conversations are like verbal games of catch – you toss out a topic, the other person catches it and tosses it back, and you keep going back and forth. The key is to ask questions and really listen to the answers. Don't just wait for your turn to talk again; pay attention to what the other person is saying and respond to it.For example, if your new friend mentions that they love pizza, you could ask them what their favorite toppings are, or if they've ever tried making pizza at home. Then, when they answer, you can share your own pizza experiences or preferences. See? It's like a fun little pizza party in your conversation!Another great tip for awesome conversations is to have some interesting stories or facts ready to share. Maybe you have a funny story about your dog chasing squirrels, or you knowsome cool facts about dinosaurs or outer space. People love hearing new and exciting things, and it'll make you seem like the coolest kid on the block (or campus, in this case).Speaking of campuses, let's talk about getting involved in college life. Joining clubs, teams, or organizations is like having a built-in group of friends who share your interests. Whether it's the chess club, the ultimate frisbee team, or the knitting circle, you'll instantly have something in common with everyone there.And don't be afraid to try new things! College is all about exploring and discovering new passions. Maybe you've never played quidditch before (you know, the game from Harry Potter?), but the quidditch club could be your new favorite thing. Who knows, you might even meet your new best friend while chasing after a golden snitch!Lastly, let's talk about being a good friend. Having great social skills isn't just about making friends; it's also about keeping them. Always be kind, respectful, and a good listener. Support your friends when they need it, and celebrate their successes with them. Share your snacks, keep their secrets, and make them laugh when they're feeling down.Being a good friend is like having a superpower too – the power to make someone's day better just by being you. Andwhen you have amazing friends who love and support you, you'll feel like you can conquer the world (or at least ace that big exam).So there you have it, friends! With confidence, conversation skills, getting involved, and being a good buddy, you'll be the most social, popular, and all-around awesome college student ever. Just remember to have fun, be yourself, and maybe bring some extra snacks to share. Because what's a party without snacks?篇2How to Make Lots of Friends in CollegeHey kids! Have you ever wondered what it's like to be in college? Well, let me tell you, it's super fun and exciting! You get to stay up late, eat all the ice cream you want, and best of all—make tons of new friends!But making friends in college can be kind of tricky sometimes. There are so many new people around, and everybody seems to already know each other. It can make you feel a little shy or nervous at first. That's totally normal!Don't worry though, I've got some awesome tips to help you become a total friend-making superstar when you get to college. Are you ready? Let's go!Tip #1: Smile and Say Hi!This one is an easy one, but it's so important. When you see someone new, just smile really big and say "Hi!" in a friendly voice. People are always happy when someone smiles at them. It makes them feel welcome and want to be your friend. Try it out and you'll see!Tip #2: Ask QuestionsOne of the best ways to get to know someone new is to ask them questions about themselves. You can ask things like "What's your major?" or "Where are you from?" or even "Do you have any pets?" People love talking about themselves, and asking questions shows them that you're interested in being their friend.Tip #3: Join ClubsColleges have tons of awesome clubs you can join based on your interests. There are clubs for sports, music, video games, you name it! Joining a club is an easy way to meet people who already like the same things you do. Plus, built-in friends!Tip #4: Be PositiveNobody likes a grumpy-grump, right? When you're meeting new people, it's important to have a positive, upbeat attitude. Laugh, smile, tell jokes if you can. Positivity is contagious and will make people want to be around you more. It's a friend magnet!Tip #5: Be YourselfThose are some top tips for making lots of friends when you get to college. Of course, there's one last big tip I saved for last...Have Fun!College is all about trying new things, exploring your interests, and making amazing memories that will last forever. Making new friends is just a big part of that journey. So relax, be yourself, and most importantly have a blast! Friends come and go, but the good ones will stick by your side through it all.Who knows, you might even still be best buds with your college friends when you're my age! Wouldn't that be cool?

College will be here before you know it. I can't wait tohear all about the amazing friends you make and the incredible times you have!篇3How to Be a Super Social College StudentHey there, fellow kids! Are you a college student who sometimes feels a little shy or awkward around others? Don't worry, I totally get it. Making friends and being social can be really tough, especially when you're in a new place with tons of new people. But have no fear, because I'm here to share some awesome tips that will help you become a total social butterfly on campus!First things first, you gotta work on your confidence. I know, I know, it's easier said than done. But here's the thing – people are naturally drawn to those who seem self-assured and comfortable in their own skin. So, how do you build that confidence? Well, it starts with accepting and loving yourself, flaws and all. Remind yourself of your awesome qualities and accomplishments, and don't be so hard on yourself when you mess up. We all make mistakes sometimes, and that's okay!Another key to being more social is to simply put yourself out there. I get that it can be scary to approach strangers or joinnew groups, but you'll never make friends if you stay cooped up in your dorm room all day. Look for opportunities to meet new people, like joining a club related to your interests, attending campus events, or even just striking up conversations with classmates before or after lectures.Now, once you've mustered up the courage to talk to someone new, it's important to be a good listener. People love feeling heard and understood, so make eye contact, ask questions about their interests and experiences, and really try to engage in what they're saying. And remember, a conversation is a two-way street, so don't just ramble on and on about yourself. Share a bit about your own life, but also leave room for the other person to contribute.Speaking of contributing, another great way to make friends is to be a helpful, kind, and positive presence in the lives of those around you. Offer to study with classmates who might be struggling, volunteer for campus organizations, or simply lend a listening ear to someone who needs to vent. When you're a good friend to others, they'll be more likely to want to be your friend in return.Oh, and don't forget to have fun and be yourself! College is a time for exploring new interests, trying new things, anddiscovering who you really are. So, embrace your quirks and passions, and surround yourself with people who appreciate and support the real you.I know it might seem like a lot of work, but trust me, improving your social skills is totally worth it. Having a strong support system and a sense of belonging can make all the difference in your college experience. Plus, the friends you make now could end up being lifelong besties!So, there you have it, my top tips for becoming a super social college student. Just remember to be confident, put yourself out there, be a good listener and friend, and most importantly, have fun and be yourself. You've got this, kid! Now go out there and make some amazing memories and lifelong friends.篇4How to Make More Friends in CollegeHi there! My name is Tommy and I'm going to tell you all about making friends when you go to college. College is a really fun place with lots of new people to meet. But sometimes it can be hard to make new friends, especially if you're a little shy like me. Don't worry though, I've got some great tips that will help you become a super social butterfly!The first thing to remember is that everyone feels a little nervous about making new friends at first. It's totally normal. Even the cool kids who act all confident on the outside probably feel a bit shy sometimes on the inside. So don't be afraid to take the first step and introduce yourself. A simple "Hi, I'm Tommy!" with a big smile can go a long way.Another useful tip is to get involved in clubs and activities that you're interested in. That way, you'll meet people who already have something in common with you. Maybe you like playing soccer, or singing in a choir, or building robots. Whatever your hobby is, there's probably a club for it on campus. By joining, you'll instantly have a whole group of potential new friends who like the same things you do.Speaking of common interests, it's always a good conversation starter to ask people what kinds of movies, TV shows, video games, music, or books they're into. Finding out you both love the same book or band can be a great way to bond. And you can offer to swap book recommendations or make a playlist for each other. Suddenly you've got a new friend and some fresh entertainment!But what if you're more of a shy, quiet type like me? No problem! There are plenty of ways to make friends without beingthe life of the party. One strategy is to show up a little early for classes and make an effort to chat with the people sitting nearby before the professor arrives. You can ask them if they're enjoying the class so far, or what other courses they're taking this semester. Or bring up some campus event that's coming up and see if they're planning to attend. Casual, low-pressure convos like that can help you get more comfortable engaging with new people.Another idea for us quieter folks is to become a great listener. Make sure you're making eye contact and nodding along when someone is talking to you to show you're paying attention. Then follow up by asking them thoughtful questions about what they said. People really appreciate a good listener, and they'll be drawn to your friendly vibe.On that note, always make sure you're smiling, having good posture, and actively engaging. Nothing shuts down a potential friendship faster than slouching in the corner checking your phone every two minutes. Look alive and present, even if you're feeling shy!Speaking of snacks, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the magic friend-making abilities of baked goods. I'm telling you, if you bring in a box of homemade cookies or brownies to sharewith your classmates, you'll instantly become the most popular kid in school. Well, for that day at least. But seriously, a little food bribery never hurts.Another genius idea is to get a job on campus, like working at the student center or library. That way you'll be forced to interact with tons of new people every shift. And you'll also have automatic things to talk about and bond over, like your funny manager or that one super demanding professor everyone dreads. Coworkers can become great friends.If you're still feeling shy about approaching new people, an old trick is to get a unique t-shirt with a cool graphic or funny saying on it. That will immediately give you something to talk about if someone compliments your shirt. Boom, instant icebreaker! Although maybe avoid anything too crazy or offensive, unless you want to get avoided instead of befriended.No matter what, the key thing is to keep putting yourself out there. The more you make an effort, the more comfortable you'll get at striking up conversations. And you're bound to meet some awesome new friends before you know it. Just remember to smile, be a good listener, and follow your interests. Oh, and work on perfecting those baking skills - I'll take a batch of double chocolate cookies over a cheesy pickup line any day!篇5How to Make More Friends in CollegeHi friends! Today I want to talk about something super important, especially if you're going to college soon. It's all about making friends and being a awesome person that everyone wants to hang out with!College is a whole new world compared to elementary school. There are so many new people to meet from all different places. Some might seem a little weird or different at first, but you'll see that pretty much everyone is in the same boat of trying to make new friends. The good news is, I've got some amazing tips that will make you a total friend magnet!Tip #1: Smile and Be FriendlyThis one is easy peasy lemon squeezy! Whenever you see someone new, just smile really big and say "Hi!" People are automatically drawn to happy, friendly faces. If you look grumpy or shy, people might think you don't want to talk to them. But a big ol' smile lets everyone know you're an awesome person they should get to know better.Tip #2: Ask QuestionsPeople love talking about themselves, so ask the new people you meet all about their lives. Where are they from? What's their major? Do they have any fun hobbies? The more questions you ask, the more you'll learn about them. And people will think you're a great listener and super interested in getting to know them.Tip #3: Get InvolvedThere are a bazillion clubs, sports teams, and other activities to join in college. The more things you get involved with, the more people you'll meet who have the same interests as you. It's so much easier to become friends with people when you know you already have something in common that you both love.Tip #4: Be Open-MindedIn college, you're going to meet people from all different backgrounds who might have really different lifestyles or beliefs than you. Instead of judging them, have an open mind! Be willing to learn about new cultures and new ways of thinking. The more open you are, the more friends from all walks of life you'll be able to make.Tip #5: Stay PositiveGetting involved, meeting new people, and making friends can sometimes be hard or stressful. But it's so important to keep being your happy, friendly self even when things get tough. Having a positive attitude is like a bright light that draws people towards you. Nobody wants to be friends with a grumpy grump!Those are my top tips for making tons of amazing friends when you get to college. Just remember to smile, ask questions, join clubs, keep an open mind, and stay positive no matter what. Before you know it, you'll have a huge friend group to hang out with!I know this might all seem a little scary at first, but I promise that making friends in college can be so much fun. You're going to meet so many incredible people who might become friends for life. Just have courage, be yourself, and get out there!Making friends is one of the most important parts about going to college. It's all about expanding your circle and surrounding yourself with awesome people who make you happy. With a little effort and these tips, you'll be a totalfriend-making superhero! College is going to be the best time ever, I just know it.Well, that's all I've got for today's lesson. Let me know if you need any more friend advice, okay? I'll be cheering you on every step of the way. Happy friend-making!篇6How to Be a Super Sociable College StudentHi there! My name is Tommy and I'm 8 years old. My big sister just started college and she was really worried about making new friends. She's kinda shy, so my mom asked me for advice on helping her improve her social skills. I think I'm a pretty sociable kid, so I decided to write her a letter with all my best tips!Dear Sis,Don't worry, becoming a sociable superstar is easy as pie if you follow my full-proof plan! Just do what I do and you'll be the most popular gal on campus.Tip #1: Smile All the TimePeople are just naturally drawn to smiley, happy folks. Anytime you see someone, whether you know them or not, flash those pearly whites and grin from ear to ear! It makes you look friendly and approachable. My teacher always says I have a"contagious smile" that brightens everyone's day. If you smile a lot, people will definitely want to be your friend.Tip #2: Ask Lots of QuestionsThe key to being sociable is taking an interest in others. Don't justblah blah blah about yourself all the time. Ask the people you meet tons of questions about their lives, their hobbies, their pets, you name it! That shows you want to get to know them better. Some good examples are: "What's your favorite subject?" or "Do you have any brothers or sisters?" or "What did you do this weekend?" Then really listen to their answers without interrupting. People just love talking about themselves!Tip #3: Remember Names and FactsAlong with asking questions, make sure to remember the important stuff people tell you about themselves. It makes them feel valued when you can recall details from previous conversations. Like if someone mentions they're studying engineering, you can follow up next time with "How are those engineering classes going by the way?" Piece of cake, right? Taking notes can help too if you're just starting out.Tip #4: Join Clubs and ActivitiesYou'll never make friends just sitting in your dorm room all day! The best way to meet people is through clubs, sports, and other campus activities. Do you like hiking? Chess? Sculpting? I bet your school has a club for that where you can find others with the same interests. My friend Jake and I are both obsessed with Beyblades, so we started a Beyblade battle club at recess. Now we have a whole crew to launch tops with every day!Tip #5: Be a Spectacular ConversationalistConversations are like playing catch - you need to keep the ball moving back and forth by asking follow-up questions and adding your own thoughts. Don't just give one-word answers or the chat will get soooo boring. If someone says "I'm from Chicago," you could respond with "No way, I went to Chicago once and loved the Bean sculpture park thingy! What's your favorite part of the city?" See how easy it is to keep things flowing naturally?Tip #6: Use Confident Body LanguageYou can be the funniest, most interesting person in the world, but if you're hunched over with your arms crossed looking all shy and timid, people will think you don't want company. Stand up straight, make eye contact, and use open gestures like keeping your arms relaxed at your sides. Fidgeting a lot or hidingbehind your hair screams "I'm anxious, leave me alone!" Even if you feel a little nervous inside, fake it till you make it with your body language.Tip #7: Look for Potential New Friends EverywhereBe on the lookout for future BFFs at all times! Strike up convos in the dining hall line, the library, waiting for the bus, you name it. One time I made a new friend at the dentist office just because I complimented his awesome Spiderman backpack. You never know when you'll meet someone you really click with, so always be open to meeting new people. Sitting silently will just make you seem unapproachable.Tip #8: Schedule Friend TimeEven once you make some new pals, you gotta keep putting in effort to build those relationships. Always have next time you'll hang out planned, whether it's grabbing lunch, studying together, or even just a quick coffee date between classes. Good friends make time for each other regularly. My buddy Marcus and I have a standing playdate at the park every week to just run around and be silly. Don't let your friendships gather dust!There you have it, eight fantastic tips that are guaranteed to make you a total social butterfly on campus! Just keep smiling,asking questions, making conversations, and putting yourself out there. Before you know it, you'll be the most popular gal around with a huge awesome friend group. Let me know if you need any other sisterly advice!Love,Tommy。
07Beginning and Ending a Speech
2. Controlling the voice. 1). Volume (Loudness) 2). Speech Rate Speak neither too fast nor too slowly with the normal rate of 120-150words/min 3). Intonation/stress Unlike the reading of literary works, the presenter of an academic paper tends to avoid radical changes of intonation and too flavorful performance. Generally, speakers assume a rather plain intonation in such situations. Loudness, rate, enunciation (发音方法), and pronunciation interact to determine intelligibility. Changing rate, pitch, stress, and pauses provide a variety for presentation and help eliminate monotonous delivery.
Ways to overcome stage fright:
(1)Realize that tension and nervousness are normal and even beneficial to speaker; (2)Take comfort in the fact that tension is physiologically reduced by the act of speaking. A careful preparation will work; the situation will be under control. (3)Analyze both the situation and the audience. (4)Careful preparation must be matched with a calm mood, and fear only results in even worse presentation. (5)We may lack confidence in English. Actually, most speakers use English as a foreign language at an international conference, the audience are likely to forgive the occasional mistakes made due to difficulties in the foreign language.

摘要《嘉莉妹妹》讲述了一位农村女孩不甘贫穷,独自来到芝加哥实现自己的“美国梦”，最终成为了纽约百老汇的一位著名演员，物质享受得到满足，精神却陷入迷失的故事。
阅读这部小说我们很容易注意到嘉莉不断升级的需要及日益增长的欲望，及在追求欲望的过程中对传统道德的违背。
本文主要依据马斯洛层次需求理论，分析嘉莉及与嘉莉妹妹关系密切的两位男主人公，在不同时期的不同需要，并分析这些欲望产生的原因，即一方面是人物内在的欲望，另一方面是环境、城市的诱惑等外在因素。
这两方面的相互作用最终导致嘉莉陷入精神的迷失。
《嘉莉妹妹》的故事似乎在警示我们，在物质越来越发达的今天，人们不应该盲目追求物质的享受，而应该充分认识到精神带给人们的幸福感和满足感,思索自己人生的意义和价值所在。
关键词：嘉莉妹妹；欲望；层次需求理论AbstractSister Carrie tells the story of a small country girl Carrie who moves to Chicago to realize her “American Dream” and eventually becomes a Broadway star in New York. Despite living a luxurious life, she is lost in spirit. Reading the novel, we may easily notice Carrie’s different needs and desires arising gradually and also the betrayal of traditional moral code in the process of pursuing material gain. The paper analyzes the reasons why Carrie and two male heroes closed to her have various needs at different stages of life, mainly based on Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. One is figures’inner desires; the other is the outside force, including temptations of environment, cites, etc. The interaction between them makes Carrie lose herself eventually. It seems to tell people that in modern society material supplies more and more abundantly, but we should never pursue it blindly and much importance should be attached to happiness and stability created by spirit. It is essential to ponder the significance and the value of life.Key words: Sister Carrie; desire; hierarchy of needsContentsChapter 1 General Introduction (1)1.1 About the author and the novel (1)1.1.1 The author: Theodore Dreiser (1)1.1.2 The novel: Sister Carrie (1)1.2 About Maslow’s hierarchy of human needs (2)Chapter 2 Carrier’s needs (4)2.1 Carrie’s primary needs (4)2.1.1 The physiological needs: leaving for Chicago (4)2.1.2 The safety needs: becoming Drouet’s mistress (5)2.2 Carrie’s higher level needs (6)2.2.1 The love and belonging needs — awaking step (6)2.2.2 The esteem needs — advanced development (7)2.2.3 The self-actualization needs — ultimate goal (8)Chapter 3 Drouet’s needs (10)3.1 Drouet’s primary needs (10)3.1.1 The physiological needs: the pursuit of Carrie (10)3.1.2 The safety needs: the satisfaction of material (11)3.2 Droue t’s higher level needs (12)Chapter 4 Hurstwood’s needs (13)4.1 Hurstwood’s needs in Chicago (13)4.1.1 Hurstwood’s physiological needs (13)4.1.2 Hurstwood’s safety needs (14)4.1.3 Hurstwood’s love and belonging needs (14)4.2 Hurstwood’s needs in New York (15)Conclusion (17)References (19)Acknowledgments (20)Chapter 1 General Introduction1.1 About the author and the novel1.1.1 The author: Theodore DreiserTheodore Dreiser is the most outstanding realistic novelist in the history of American literature. He is also an American naturalistic writer famous for the exploration of realistic life. Dreiser was born in Indiana in a poor German immigrant family. When Dreiser was eight, his mother was forced by the pressure of living, left home with him and three other young children, wandered from one town to another in the Midwest. The family lived a tough and criticized life. Dreiser’s childhood also endured poverty and ignorance.In 1887, he came to Chicago alone, worked in restaurants and hardware companies. In spite of this, he was attracted by the city life full of excitement and stimulation. In 1889, “he was sponsored by a sympathetic middle school teacher to study at the University of Indiana. But he dropped out of school the next year, returned to Chicago to become a debt collector in a real estate and furniture company” (Wang Sixiang, 2009: 158). This job led him to come into contact with the underworld characters and the dark side of society, accumulated a wealth of material for the future creation. It also determined the naturalistic color and the tragic thought of his creation. Dreiser entered the press in 1892, started to be a journalist. In Chicago, he witnessed the strong contrast of extreme poverty and extravagant life. These experiences are the beginning of his thought, which led him to create his own novel.1.1.2 The novel: Sister CarrieSister Carrie, Theodore Dreiser’s first novel, is a good work of epoch-making significance in the history of American fiction. This novel tells the story of Caroline Meeber, a pretty rural girl, leaves her rural home to make a living in Chicago. On the train, she meets Charles Drouet, a traveling salesman. The harsh reality shatters her dream. At the same time, in front of her is unemployment and disease. In desperation she becomes Drouet’s mistress. Later, due to the greater desire, she becomes the hotelmanager Hurstwood’s mistress. Hurstwood and Carrie elope to New York, and Carrie becomes a popular actor by chance and squeezes into the upper class. However, Hurstwood becomes poorer and finally committed suicide. The life of upper class does not make her feel satisfied. She feels empty and can not find the real meaning of life. In the loneliness and desolation, she sits in a rocking chair dreaming of the happiness that she would not get.The novel reveals the cruel squeezing of the American capitalist system for poor people and the corrosive action of bourgeois lifestyle for petty bourgeois. And the moral concept the novel reflects is also a counter-tradition. Because Carrie rather than be punished for her depravity, but becomes a popular star of musical comedies finally. Therefore, this book has aroused widespread concern in society since it was published, was banned for a time which led up to intense controversy of the literary world for more than 30 years until it is regarded as a classic to gain public recognition. Until today the novel was born one hundred years later, people are still controversial about Carrie’s character and behavior, especially her endless desire.1.2 About Maslow’s hierarchy of human needsIn Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, there are five kinds of needs ranging from lower level to higher level. These are physiological, safety, love, esteem, and self-actualization needs. (1)The physiological needs — it is the most basic requirement of human beings, including food, sleep, water, secretion, and sex. If any one of these needs, except sex, can not be satisfied, the physiological function of human can not operate normally. In other words, the life of human would be threatened. In this sense, the physiological need is the primary motivation of people’s action. Maslow believes that only those basic needs be met, the other needs can become new motivating factors. And to this point, the needs has been relatively satisfied will no longer be motivating factors. (2)The safety needs — it is the demand for the following things: personal and property safety, health care, job security and family safety. Maslow believes that the pursuit of the whole organism is a security mechanism, the human receptors, effectors’ organs, intelligence and other forms of energy are mainly seeking safety tools. We can even put both science and philosophy as part of meeting the security needs. (3)The love and belonging needs — if both physiological and safety needs are relatively well satisfied, and then there will emerge the love and belonging needs. Everyone wants to get mutual concern and care.The love and belonging needs is more meticulous than the physiological needs. It relates to a person’s physiological characteristics, experience, education and religion. Generally people will hunger for affectionate relations with others, for a place in the group and have a family. (4)The esteem needs — everyone wants to have a stable social status. And it requests that personal ability and achievements are recognized by the society. These needs can be divided into two parts. First is the desire for strength, achievement, adequacy, confidence and freedom. Secondly, we have what we may call the desire for reputation, attention, importance or appreciation. Satisfaction of the esteem need can make people have confidence, worth, strength, capability and adequacy of being useful and necessary in the world. (5)The self-actualization needs — it is the highest level of needs. It refers to the realization of personal ideals, aspirations and the individual’s ability to the greatest degree. Maslow notes that in order to satisfy self-actualization needs, different people take different measures. The self-actualization need is an effort to realize their potential. It is to make them become the characters they desire to be.These basic needs are related to each one and another, but any physiological and safety needs that remain unsatisfied will keep playing an important role, and needs at one level do not have to be completely satisfied before needs at the next higher level come into play. This means that the highest goal will monopolize consciousness and will tend to organize the recruitment of the various capacities of the organism. The lower needs are minimized, even forgotten or denied. But when a need is fairly well satisfied, the next higher need emerges,in turn to dominate the conscious life and to serve as the center of organization of behavior, since gratified needs are not active motivators.Chapter 2 Carrier’s needs2.1 Carrie’s primary needs2.1.1 The physiological needs: leaving for ChicagoBy the end of the Civil War (1861-1865), most of the forces that would typify twentieth century American had begun to emerge. Northern industrialism had triumphed over southern agrarianism. The great age of big city bossism began. Americans ceased to be isolated from the world and from each other. Soon the United States had the most extensive railroad system in the world. The tempo of life accelerated as Americans became increasingly mobile. From 1870 to 1890 the total population of the United States doubled. Villages became towns, towns became cities, and cities grew to a size with a speed that would have astonished the Founding Fathers. The population of Chicago increased twenty times to two million, making it the nation’s second largest city after New York. The national income quadrupled. It was the beginning of what Mark Twain called “The Gilded Age”. Thousands and thousands of men, women and children native-born and foreign, flooded to American cities, drawn by hopes for making their fortune. They believed that anyone could grasp an opportunity to attain success through honest and hard work. Just as American naturalists argued: the world was amoral, that men and women had no free will, that their lives were controlled by heredity and the environment.Dreiser clothed the social phenomenon of so-called “American Dream” through his character, Carrie. At the beginning of the novel, the heroin, Carrie, keeps pace with the general trend of the time, and moves to Chicago, which is not far away from her hometown. She is eighteen years old, bright, timid, and full of the illusions of ignorance and youth:And yet she was interested in her charms, quickly to understand the keenerpleasures of life, ambitious to gain in material things. A half-equipped littleknight she was, venturing to reconnoiter the mysterious city and dreamingwild dreams of some vague, far-off supremacy, which should make it preyand subject-the proper penitent, groveling at a woman’s slipper. (TheodoreDreiser, 1979: 3)In Maslow’s view, humans are wanting beings, mainly because humans are not satisfied with the status and are eager to achieve a higher realm. Desire is one of the strong emotions which tells people that he is still curious to exist, that he still have an edge on his longings and want to bite into the world. Carrie is driven by the environment and the internal desire to move to Chicago. Strictly speaking, it is the physiological needs. Carrie wants to change the poor life. She begins to hunt a job to earn money to fulfill her needs. Carrie accepts a job in a shoe factory for four and a half dollars a week. Every week she pays four dollars for her board and lodging. Does the story develop smoothly like this? The author gave a hint by writing “When a girl leaves her home at eighteen, she does one of two things. Either she falls into saving hands and becomes better, or she rapidly assumes the cosmopolitan standard of virtue and becomes worse” (Zhang Xiaowei, 2011: 203). Carrie tries to live on her own to start her first step of material pursuit.2.1.2 The safety needs: becoming Drouet’s mistressChicago is a charming city indeed. Carrie is surrounded by various temptations: Carrie passed along the busy aisles, much affected by the remarkabledisplays of trinkets, dress goods, stationary and jewelry. Each separatecounter was a show place of dazzling interest and attraction. She could nothelp feeling the claim of each trinket and valuable upon her personally.There was nothing there which she could not have to used-nothing whichshe did not along to own. The dainty slippers and stockings, the delicatelyfrilled skirts and petticoats, the laces, ribbons, hair-combs, purses, all touchher with individual desires. (Theodore Dreiser, 1979: 27)She longs for dress and beauty with a whole heart.But the fact is that the cold reality takes her by the hand. First, her sister and brother-in-law live a lean life and consumed by housework. The money left by Carrie every week is not enough for her car fares, let alone clothes, laces, ribbons, etc. And none of those things is in the range of her purchase. Second, in the shoe factory, the machines work intensively. Carrie is not strong. Her shoulders and necks ache in bending over and she is totally exhausted every day. “As Carrie listened to this and much more of similar familiar badinage among the men and the girls, she instinctively withdraws into herself. She feared that the young boys about would address such remarks to he r” (LI Wei, 2011: 278). The wholeatmosphere of the shoe factory is sordid.Carrie does not like to bear the hard work, the foul working condition and the human environment. She hopes to break away from the factory to enjoy physical comfort and from such uncouth men to keep her calm. Third, as the rigorous winter is around the corner, Carrie worries about the problem of winter clothes, for she has nothing to wear. At last, as a result of illness she loses the job and to return hometown seems to be the only choice.According to Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, if the physiological needs are relatively well gratified, there then emerge the safety needs. The problem is that whether she can satisfy it or not, it depends on the reality which supplies enough conditions or not, besides her own effort. Carrie understands that it is impossible to buy dress and entertain herself by her personal diligence. Drouet is, for Carrie, an escape. She does not love him, but he means a source of amazement, and she recognizes that the relative opulence of his chambers and department he procures for Carrie are the signs of that for which she is striving. Eventually she betrays herself to become Drouet’s mistress to realize her safety need. Carrie and Drouet pay a visit all round the city and go shopping, take part in various activities, enjoy delicious foods. It seems that Carrie has never hesitated,“Money! Money! What a thing it was to have! How plenty of it would clear away all the troubles” (Theodore Dreiser, 1979: 82). She surrendered to the magic of money. At the second stage of material pursuit, Carrie has a much stronger desire. She falls in love with it without reason.2.2 Carrie’s higher level needs2.2.1 The love and belonging needs — awaking stepAs the plot goes, the author depicts a panorama of rising needs and desire. On one hand, Carrie is not just satisfied with living together with Drouet:That young lady, under the stress of her situation and the tutelage of hernew friend, changed effectively. She the glow of a more showy life was notupon her. She did not grow in knowledge so much as she awakened in thematter of desire. Mrs. Hale’s extended harangues upon the subjects ofwealth and position taught her to distinguish between degrees of wealth.(Theodore Dreiser, 1979: 140)When she comes to her own room, Carrie sees her comparative poverty. She is not comparing it with what she has had, but what she has seen recently. She begins toponder what, after all, Drouet is and what she is. On the other hand, Carrie fears of losing Drouet’s affection, of being abandoned, and also she longs for someone to sympathize with her, but not let her ponder and wonder. It makes clear to Carrie that Drouet could not understand her. He just cares about her beauty. When Carrie is sorrow, he only asks her to dance. Carrie feels lonely and forsaken. What’s more, Carrie believes Drouet does not plan to marry her. He prefers the single state to any legal bondage. These two sides wake up Carrie’s deep desire. She “hopes to live an extravagant life but not from hand to mouth” (Peng Dankui, 1995: 74). She is eager to be understood and loved. Drouet is only an intermediary in her movement from poverty to affluence. Carrie is ready and longs to change.More wealth and higher status are Carrie’s new goal. At this time, Hurstwood becomes another male stepladder to gratify her needs both in material and spirit. Hurstwood can give her a life of honor. Carrie recognizes the quality of Hurstwood’s clothes, his style and his bearing as distinct improvements on Drouet. Hurstwood shows his thoughts and feelings concerning Carrie. “In contrast, Hurstwood appeared strong and sincere. He had no easy manner of putting her off. He sympathized with her and showed her what her true value was. He needed her, while Drouet did not care” (Gao Chenke, 2011: 115).Though Carrie has achieved her material goal, all in all, she has another need—love. Carrie begins to care about her inner thoughts, which takes the first step of exploring her spirit. Carrie’s spirit pursuit is based on material pursuit.2.2.2 The esteem needs — advanced developmentAfter becoming Hurstwood’s mistress, in a material way, Carrie is considerably improved. Hurstwood writes her regularly-a letter every morning. They both enjoy the happy days. Carrie has an opportunity to take part in a play. It is not an important thing, but because of the prestige of Hurstwood, it is significant. “By the time of the 16th had arrived Hurstwood’s friends had rallied like Romans to a senator’s call. A well-dressed, good-natured, flatteringly-inclined audience was assured from the moment he thought of assisting Carrie”(Theodore Dreiser, 1979: 209). Carrie moves into a new environment. She feels the respect and power of celebrities. Carrie’s needs develop further: the esteem needs. That is the desire for confidence and appreciation:There was nothing bold in her manner. Life had not taught herdomination-superciliousness of grace, which is the lordly power of somewomen. Her longing for consideration was not sufficiently powerful tomove her to demand it. Even now she lacked self-assurance, but there wasthat in what she had already experienced which left her a little less thantimid. She wanted pleasure, she wanted position. (Theodore Dreiser, 1979:176)For Carrie she is nervous. She hopes the play could succeed to gain confidence and appreciation, “The glamour, the tense situation, the fine clothes, the applause, these had lured her until she felt that she, too, could act-that she, too, could compel acknowledgment of power” (Theodore Dreiser, 1979: 192). Carrie tries best to explore her potentials.2.2.3 The self-actualization needs — ultimate goalHurstwood coaxes Carrie to elope to New York. But he is merely another man who either cannot hold or find a job. He forces to begin the battle for place and comfort all over again. But his situation becomes worse and worse. At the beginning, he strolls about, and then he just picks his papers up, and stays for day after day. At last, he becomes a beggar completely, lived by other’s charity. Finally he committed suicide by turning on the gas in a Bowery flophouse. When the attraction of material disappears, it is inevitable for Carrie to abandon Hurstwood. The physiological and safety needs play an important role now. Carrie begins to make a livelihood on her own. Different from the former experience, this time, she is successful by her own power without depending on some other men. Carrie becomes an actor because of her pretty-look and her diligence. Her salary rises from 30 dollars to 150 dollars per week. She becomes a famous star. She could possess of her gowns and carriage, her furniture and bank account. But she is alone, “It does not take money long to make plain its important, providing the desires are in the realm of affection. With one hundred and fifty in hand, Carrie could think of nothing particularly to do. In itself, as a tangible, apparent thing which she could touch and look upon, but this soon passed” (Theodore Dreiser, 1979: 548).After Carrie gains her economic status, there is only self-actualization need left. And Ames helps Carrie sublimate her spiritual pursuit into the world of literature and philosophy. Ames isn’t attracted by Carrie’s beauty, but there is something in him that has attracted her. Ames says to Carrie that riches are not everything, and there is always a great deal more in the world than she has known. Carrie understands that the thingsAmes pointed out is not money, or clothes, or applauses but a kind heart to serve others. It is an aesthetic world of which Carrie has not dreamed of and which she recognizes as a new peak to conquer and a new level to achieve. Carrie moves to the highest needs, which states that the true value of life is not in what we get but in what we give. This is the ultimate goal in her spiritual world.Chapter 3 Drouet’s needs3.1 Drouet’s primary needs3.1.1 The physiological needs: the pursuit of CarrieDrouet is a man who has a keen desire for the feminine. In the driving of the sexual instinct, he will involuntarily chase every beautiful woman he meets. After seeing beautiful pure Carrie on the train, he is attracted by her. With beautiful clothes, grandiose talk and his experiences of chatting up girls, Drouet wins Carrie’s favor. Just as the author says:Let him meet with a young woman once and he would approach her withan air of kindly familiarity, not unmixed with pleading, which would resultin most cases in a tolerant acceptance. If she showed any tendency tocoquetry he would be apt to straighten her tie, or if she “took up” with himat all, to call her by her first name. If he visited a department store it was tolounge familiarly over the counter and ask some leading questions. In moreexclusive circles, on the train or in waiting stations, he went slower. If someseemingly vulnerable object appeared he was all attention to pass thecompliments of the day to lead the way to the parlor car, carrying her grip,or, failing that, to take a seat next her with the hope of being able to courther to her destination. Pillows, books, a footstool, the shade lowered; allthese figured in the things which he could do. If, when she reached herdestination he did not alight and attend her baggage for her, it was because,in his own estimation, he had signally failed. (Theodore Dreiser, 1979:5) Drouet’s chasing for young beautiful girls is not because he is a cold-blooded, black heart, scheming villain, but because he is full of lust. When Drouet meet Carrie in the street secondly, Carrie was looking for a job and has no winter clothes to wear. Then he use Carrie’s plight to persuade her to leave her sister’s home and l ive together with him. After Carrie beca me Drouet’s mistress, Drouet didn’t have the plan to marry her. In the second part of the novel, Drouet and Carrie met again in New York, after he tried to mend fences and Carrie refused, he was not feeling so sad. Because, for him, he canfind a woman for pleasure wherever. Losing Carrie is not so important for him. At the end of the novel, on the night of a big snowstorm, he is talking with a partner to discuss where to look for a woman to have fun.3.1.2 The safety needs: the satisfaction of materialThe great industrial development in American brings about the booming of the cities like Chicago and New York. At the same time, the social gap between the rich and the poor is widening. People are obviously graded. Whether having high material consumption ability has almost become the sole criterion of level division. Drouet is divided into middle class in this social background. He doesn’t have to live in poverty like Hanson, but not as well as Hurstwood has a wealthy family and prominent position. He is good at enjoying life and the pursuit of a higher level of material comforts, immersed in his salesman career and tried to improve his social status. In his view, his life is fulfilling and almost perfect. He dressed in fashion style, wearing a striped plaid wool suit, white and pink striped shirt, gold-plated button, covered with yellow agate known as the “cat ey e”. His vest dangled a neat gold watch chain, matched with a pair of glowing shoes and a fedora. This fashionable dress greatly satisfied the vanity of him. Drouet’s s afety needs come to be realized in the abundant material world.Drouet likes to have dinner at Rector’s,a restaurant he believes that successful person would go. After dinner, he likes to go to th e resort of Fitzgerald and Moy’s to drink a glass of whiskey and enjoy a couple of cigars. In such a place, he can get to know a variety of celebrities, in order to increase the capital to show off and meet his vanity. The author has described it in detail:Rector’s, with its polished marble walls and floor, its profusion of lights, itsshow of china and silverware, and, above all, its reputation as a resort foractors and professional men, seemed to him the proper place for asuccessful man to go. He loved fine clothes, good eating, and particularlythe company and acquaintanceship of successful men. When dining, it wassource of keen satisfaction to him to know that Joseph Jefferson was wontto come to this same place, that Henry E. Dixie, a well known performer ofthe day, was then only a few tables off. (Theodore Dreiser, 1979: 39) As a successful salesman, Drouet believes that it is an honor to be able to make celebrities. At the same time, the big company he is working for also let him feel glory. With the reputation of Bartlett, Caryoe & Company, his work goes well. Although he isnot rich, also does not have a high social status, but he is good at communication, appropriate interaction with others, which also provides a possibility of success in his career. Living with Carrie, Drouet’s career developed gradually and his social status improved accordingly. When he and Carrie meet again, he has been responsible for a branch and is about to establish his own company. He can meet Carrie’s desire for material. He bought her beautiful dresses and coats, purchased cosmetics and went to the theatre with her. But objectively speaking, he was too concerned with material life, treat feelings do not serious. This is also the most dissatisfied for Carrie.3.2 Drouet’s higher level needsAlthough the physiological and material satisfaction is very important for Drouet, he has some higher level of needs. As a traveling salesman, Drouet’s social status is not high. He frequently went to the restaurants and pubs which celebrities always went to. In addition to the pursuit of material comforts, but also he is in the search for a social identity and the sense of belonging. Eating and talking together with the upper-class people, let him have a feeling of integrated into the society.His pursuit of Carrie is not only to satisfy his needs for sex, but also to get rid of the emptiness.Due to his work requirement, Drouet often go to travel around, and he is lacking of group sense of belonging. While Carrie as his mistress, can bring him some emotional comfort.In addition, Carrie’s young and beautiful can meet Drouet’s vanity. And he can show off in social occasions. However, Carrie is not the only choice for Drouet. Instead of creating a stable family, the best way to meet his spiritual emptiness is to seek new love affairs constantly. That is also the reason why he does not marry Carrie.。

初二英语演讲稿励志向上
Good morning/afternoon/evening! It is my great honor to stand here today and share with you some thoughts on how we can be motivated and strive to achieve our dreams. As students, we are at a crucial stage in our lives, where we are constantly faced with challenges and obstacles. However, it is our determination and perseverance that will enable us to overcome these difficulties and reach the peak of success.Firstly, let me remind you of the power of dreams. Dreams are the beacon that guides us through life. They are the sparks that ignite our passion and inspire us to work harder. When we have a clear vision of what we want to achieve, we are more likely to stay focused and committed to our goals. Therefore, it is essential to have dreams that resonate with our hearts and souls.To begin with, we should define our dreams clearly. What do we want to become in the future? Are we aiming for a career in science, arts, sports, or perhaps something else? Once we have a clear understanding of our dreams, we can start to work towards them step by step. Remember, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. It is the accumulation of small efforts that eventually leads to great success.Secondly, setting realistic goals is crucial for our motivation. Goals provide us with a sense of direction and help us to stay on track. However, it is important to set achievable goals that challenge us but do not overwhelm us. When we set unrealistic goals, we are more likely to become discouraged and lose our motivation. Therefore, we should break down our big dreams into smaller, manageable goals and celebrate our achievements along the way.In addition to setting goals, we should also develop a positive mindset.A positive mindset is the key to overcoming obstacles and staying motivated. When we face difficulties, we should not see them as insurmountable barriers, but rather as opportunities for growth and learning. By adopting a positive attitude, we can turn challenges into stepping stones towards success.Furthermore, it is essential to surround ourselves with like-minded individuals. Our friends and family can provide us with support,encouragement, and inspiration. They can help us stay focused and motivated when we feel like giving up. Moreover, being part of a community that shares our dreams can help us to broaden our horizons and learn from others' experiences.Another important factor in staying motivated is to maintain a healthy lifestyle. A balanced diet, regular exercise, and adequate sleep are essential for our physical and mental well-being. When we are healthy, we have more energy and are better equipped to face the challenges ahead. Therefore, it is crucial to take care of ourselves and nurture ourbodies and minds.In conclusion, to be motivated and strive towards our dreams, we need to have clear dreams, set realistic goals, maintain a positive mindset, surround ourselves with supportive people, and take care of our health. Let us not be afraid of failure or setbacks, for they are the stepping stones to success. Remember, success is not a destination, but a journey. It is the process of growth, learning, and self-improvement that truly matters.In the words of Confucius, "It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop." Let us embrace the challenges ahead with courageand determination, and never give up on our dreams. Together, we can achieve great things and make our dreams a reality.Thank you for your attention, and may we all strive to be the best versions of ourselves. Let us inspire each other to reach for the stars and never settle for mediocrity.Thank you!。
你想成为什么样的人英语小作文简单的
你想成为什么样的人英语小作文简单的全文共3篇示例，供读者参考篇1What Kind of Person Do I Want to Become?As a student, I often find myself pondering about the future and what kind of person I hope to become. It's an intriguing question that has no single right answer, as we all have different aspirations, values, and ideals that shape our desired selves. However, certain qualities and traits seem to resonate with me more than others, forming the blueprint of the person I strive to be.First and foremost, I aspire to be a lifelong learner. Knowledge is power, and the world is an ever-evolving tapestry of information waiting to be explored. I want to cultivate an insatiable curiosity, a thirst for understanding that never diminishes, no matter how much I learn. Whether it's delving into new academic disciplines, mastering a craft, or simply broadening my horizons through travel and cultural immersion, I hope to approach life with an open mind and a willingness to grow.Hand in hand with a love for learning comes intellectual humility. While I aim to be knowledgeable and well-informed, I also want to remain grounded in the understanding that there is always more to discover, and that my perspectives and beliefs are subject to change as I encounter new evidence and ideas. Arrogance and close-mindedness are antithetical to growth, and I strive to maintain a healthy balance between confidence in my convictions and a receptiveness to alternative viewpoints.Closely related to intellectual humility is empathy – the ability to understand and share the feelings of others. In a world that often seems divided by differences, empathy is a bridge that connects us to one another. I want to be the kind of person who can see beyond my own experiences and perspectives, who can truly listen to and appreciate the struggles, joys, and complexities of those around me. Empathy breeds compassion, and compassion is the foundation of a just and caring society.Resilience is another quality I hold in high regard. Life is full of challenges, setbacks, and adversities, and the ability to bounce back from these obstacles is crucial. I want to be the kind of person who faces difficulties head-on, with determination and perseverance. Resilience is not about never faltering or never feeling discouraged; it's about having the strength to pickoneself up, learn from the experience, and continue moving forward.Closely tied to resilience is adaptability. The world is changing at an unprecedented pace, and the ability to adapt to new circumstances and environments is becoming increasingly valuable. I aspire to be flexible, open to change, and willing to step out of my comfort zone when necessary. Rigidity and inflexibility are liabilities in today's ever-shifting landscape, and I hope to cultivate a mindset that embraces change as an opportunity for growth and discovery.Integrity is another pillar upon which I hope to build my character. In a world where moral compromises are often tempting, I want to be the kind of person who upholds ethical principles and acts with honesty and authenticity. Integrity means staying true to one's values, even when it's inconvenient or unpopular. It means having the courage to stand up for what's right and being accountable for one's actions.Hand in hand with integrity comes a sense of social responsibility. I want to be the kind of person who recognizes that my actions have an impact on the world around me, and who strives to make positive contributions to society. Whether it's through volunteering, activism, or simply being a goodcitizen and neighbor, I hope to use my talents and resources to make a difference in the lives of others.Creativity is another quality I hope to nurture and embrace. The world needs innovative thinkers, problem-solvers, and visionaries who can approach challenges from fresh perspectives.I want to be the kind of person who can think outside the box, who isn't afraid to take risks and explore uncharted territory. Creativity isn't limited to the arts; it's a mindset that can be applied to any endeavor, from scientific research to business ventures.Finally, I aspire to be a balanced individual – someone who can find harmony among the various aspects of life. It's easy to become consumed by work, studies, or personal ambitions, but true fulfillment comes from maintaining a healthy equilibrium between different spheres. I want to be the kind of person who values relationships, self-care, and leisure alongside professional and academic pursuits. A well-rounded existence is not only more enjoyable but also more sustainable in the long run.These are just a few of the qualities and traits that I hope to embody as I navigate the journey of life. Of course, becoming the person I envision is an ongoing process, full of challenges and opportunities for growth. But having a clear vision of thekind of person I aspire to be – a lifelong learner, empathetic, resilient, adaptable, ethical, socially responsible, creative, and balanced – provides a compass to guide my decisions and actions.Ultimately, the person I become will be shaped not only by my aspirations but also by the experiences and relationships that shape my life's path. The journey is as important as the destination, and I hope to approach each step with courage, humility, and an unwavering commitment to personal growth and positive impact on the world around me.篇2What Kind of Person Do I Want to Become?When I think about my future and what kind of person I hope to become, my mind is filled with a swirling mix of aspirations, dreams, and uncertainties. The world stretches out before me, a vast tapestry of possibilities waiting to be woven by the choices I make and the paths I decide to follow. In this crucial juncture of my life, I find myself grappling with the profound question: What kind of person do I truly want to become?At the core of my being, I yearn to be someone who possesses a deep sense of purpose and authenticity. I want tolive a life that is guided by principles and values that resonate with my innermost beliefs – a life that is not merely a series of actions but a harmonious expression of who I am. I aspire to be someone who is true to themselves, unafraid to embrace their unique quirks and idiosyncrasies, and confident enough to stand firm in the face of societal pressures that seek to mold me into someone I'm not.Intellectual curiosity is a quality that I hold in high regard, and I hope to cultivate a mind that is ever-eager to learn, to question, and to explore the boundless realms of knowledge. I want to be someone who approaches life with a thirst for understanding, constantly seeking to expand my horizons and challenge my own preconceptions. Whether it's delving into the intricate workings of the natural world, unraveling the complexities of human societies, or grappling with abstract philosophical concepts, I hope to be a lifelong learner,ever-growing and ever-evolving.Compassion and empathy are virtues that I strive to embody, for they are the bedrock upon which meaningful connections and positive change are built. I want to be someone who can truly listen and understand the perspectives of others, even when they differ from my own. I aspire to be a person who canlook beyond the surface and see the inherent worth and dignity in every human being, regardless of their circumstances or backgrounds. With an open heart and a willingness to walk in the shoes of others, I hope to be a force for kindness, acceptance, and understanding in a world that often struggles with division and intolerance.Resilience and perseverance are qualities that I admire deeply, for they are the engines that drive us forward in the face of adversity and setbacks. I want to be someone who possesses an unshakable determination, a willingness to pick myself up after every fall and continue striving towards my goals with renewed vigor. I aspire to be a person who can weather the storms of life with grace and fortitude, finding strength in the challenges that come my way and emerging from them wiser and more resilient than before.Creativity and innovation are traits that I hold in high esteem, for they are the catalysts that propel humanity forward and shape the world in remarkable ways. I want to be someone who can think outside the box, who can envision novel solutions to complex problems, and who is unafraid to explore uncharted territories. Whether it's in the realm of art, science, technology, or any other domain, I hope to be a creative force, constantlypushing the boundaries of what is possible and leaving my unique imprint on the world around me.Ultimately, I want to be someone who lives a life of purpose and meaning, someone who makes a positive impact on the world and leaves a lasting legacy. I want to be a person who uses their talents, passions, and abilities to make a difference, whether it's through serving my community, advancing a noble cause, or contributing to the betterment of humanity in ways both large and small. I aspire to be someone whose actions and choices are guided by a strong moral compass, someone who stands up for what is right and just, even in the face of adversity or opposition.As I stand at the crossroads of my life, I recognize that the journey ahead is one that will be filled with challenges, triumphs, and countless opportunities for growth and self-discovery. The person I aspire to become is not a static ideal, but rather a ever-evolving vision that will be shaped and refined by the experiences and lessons that life has in store for me.Yet, at the core of my aspirations lies a steadfast commitment to living a life of authenticity, compassion, resilience, creativity, and purpose. These are the qualities that will serve as my guiding stars, illuminating the path forward and inspiring me to reach for greatness in all that I do.For in the end, the person I want to become is not merely a collection of achievements or accolades, but a embodiment of the values and principles that define the essence of who I am. It is a journey of self-discovery, growth, and the relentless pursuit of becoming the best version of myself – a person who can look back on their life with pride, knowing that they lived with integrity, made a positive impact, and left the world a little better than they found it.篇3What Kind of Person Do I Want to Become?Ever since I was a little kid, I've been asked that question by parents, teachers, and just about every adult I've ever met - "What do you want to be when you grow up?" It's supposed to be an easy question, but the older I get, the harder it seems to answer. The truth is, I don't really want to "be" any one thing. I want to be a lot of things. I want to be kind, intelligent, successful, selfless, happy - the list goes on.More than any job or career, I want to cultivate the qualities that will make me a good human being. I know that might sound cheesy, but hear me out. We're all going to have ups and downs in life no matter what path we choose. Having a caring heart, asharp mind, and a resilient spirit are what will truly serve us through the good times and the bad.So what kind of personal qualities am I aiming for? Let me break it down.First off, I want to be a lifelong learner. I don't just mean academically - although getting a great education is definitely a priority. I want to be the kind of person who never stops being curious and constantly seeks out new knowledge and experiences. The world is vast and amazing, and I hope I never lose my sense of wonder about it all.I want to approach life with open-mindedness and empathy.I think it's so important to really listen to others with different backgrounds and viewpoints. Even if I don't agree, I want to try to understand where they're coming from. Too much conflict comes from people being unwilling to consider perspectives other than their own.Speaking of conflict, I hope I can become a peacemaker - someone who looks for common ground and diplomatic solutions rather than escalating tensions. Aggression and violence may sometimes be unavoidable, but they should always be an absolute last resort. I want to be a calming presence, not someone who adds fuel to the fire.On a similar note, I hope to live with integrity and strong ethical principles. I want to be someone who stands up for what's right, even when it's not easy or popular. I don't want to compromise my values just to go along with the crowd or reap some short-term benefit. Honesty, authenticity, and doing no harm to others will be essential to feeling good about myself.I definitely want to be a hard worker who isn't afraid of challenges. Not every worthy goal can be achieved overnight - it's going to take discipline, determination, and a whole lot of effort. But the things that mean the most are usually the things you have to really fight for. I want a fulfilling career that I'm passionate about and allows me to make a positive impact. I'll need to apply serious grit to make that happen.At the same time, I don't want to become someone who is all work and no play. Having rich personal lives, healthy relationships, and Work-Life balance will be key. I hope I can learn to stop and smell the roses - to fully appreciate life's simple joys and not get so caught up in a stressful hustle that I miss them. Spending quality time with family and friends has to be a priority.I want to be giving and socially conscious. It would be awfully self-centered and wasteful of me to just consumeresources and accomplish things solely for my own benefit. I need to think about my impact on others and on the planet itself. Volunteering, practicing sustainability, paying it forward - I want to live a life of service and be someone who makes the world a little bit better.Tenacity is another hugely important quality. Let's face it, life can knock you down with challenges and setbacks more times than you can count. If I'm going to achieve my goals and live out my values, I'll need perseverance and grit. When something doesn't go my way or I fail at first, I don't want to be someone who just gives up. I hope I can bounce back and show resilience, no matter how difficult things get.Okay, so those are some of the key traits I want to embody - curiosity, empathy, integrity, work ethic, balance, generosity, and persistence. But self-awareness and humility have to be part of the package too. I need to be able to step back and recognize my own flaws and shortcomings. Nobody is perfect, and thinking you have everything figured out is the ultimate mistake. There will always be room for growth and self-improvement.Above all though, I simply want to be a good person who leads a life of purpose and meaning. Not just doing whatever brings me personal gain or glory, but making choices that createmore light than shadows. If I can have a positive impact on those around me and make the world a little bit better than it was before - well, that's the kind of person I want to become.Is it an easy target to shoot for? Not at all. Developing all of those qualities won't happen overnight. It will take conscious effort each and every day to build the wisdom, willpower, and strength of character I aspire to. Sometimes I'll no doubt fall short, fumble, and have to pick myself back up. But that's okay - no journey worth taking should be easy.I may only be a teenager now, but the path I want to walk in life is clear. By cultivating compassion, courage, dedication, and integrity, I can become someone I'm truly proud of. Someone who leads a life of principle and positive influence. That's the person I want to grow into, and that will be my life's greatest quest.。

介绍老人与海英语作文高一80词
介绍老人与海英语作文高一80词全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1The Old Man and the Sea - A Timeless Tale of PerseveranceHey guys! Today I want to tell you about this really cool book I just read called "The Old Man and the Sea" by Ernest Hemingway. It's a pretty short novel, but it's so deep and meaningful. I had to read it for my English class, but I ended up loving it!The story is about this old Cuban fisherman named Santiago who hasn't caught a fish in like 84 days. Can you imagine going that long without catching anything? I'd go crazy! But Santiago is super patient and keeps going out on his little skiff every day, all by himself, to try his luck.Well, one day he finally hooks this massive marlin – we're talking a fish that's longer than his boat! Santiago gets really excited, but then he realizes he's in for the fight of his life to reel this thing in. The marlin just keeps swimming away, dragging Santiago's skiff along for miles and miles into the ocean.For two whole days, Santiago doesn't give up. He's all alone, getting super tired and cut up from the fishing line, but he refuses to let go of that marlin. It's like a crazy tug-of-war battle that goes on forever. I was reading it thinking "there's no way this old guy can actually catch that monster fish!" But Santiago is determined and he never loses hope.Finally, after an epic struggle, Santiago manages to kill the marlin and lashes it to the side of his skiff to head back to shore. But that's when the real troubles begin! Sharks start showing up, attracted by the marlin's blood in the water. Santiago tries fending them off with a harpoon and bat, but they keep coming in for the kill, ripping chunks out of his hard-earned catch.By the time Santiago makes it back to the harbor, there's barely anything left of the marlin except a stripped carcass. It's so sad after all that work, but the villagers are amazed that the old man could even bring back that much after his battle at sea. They see the demolished marlin as a sign of Santiago's strength and unbreakable spirit.To me, the biggest message of the book is about perseverance and never giving up, no matter how hopeless things seem. Santiago could have quit a million times during his struggle with the marlin and no one would have blamed him. Buthe kept pushing onward with courage and resolve. That's what made his story so inspiring to read.Even though Santiago came home basically empty-handed after his epic journey, he viewed the experience as a victory. He proved that he still had the strength and determination to take on the challenges of nature and life head-on, despite his old age. It's a powerful reminder to all of us that we should never underestimate our own abilities and give up on our ambitions just because the path gets difficult.I don't want to give away too many more details and ruin the whole book for you. But trust me, "The Old Man and the Sea" is a classic for good reason. The writing is beautiful and descriptive, putting you right there on the ocean with Santiago feeling every jolt of the line and crash of the waves. And the themes about resilience in the face of adversity are so meaningful and uplifting.I seriously recommend reading this novella, even though it might seem boring at first since it's so short and old. But it packs such a profound, inspirational message into so few pages. After devouring this story in just a couple sittings, I have a newfound appreciation for the strength of the human spirit and what we're capable of if we just persist and never abandon our dreams.The Old Man and the Sea is one of those novels that will really stick with you long after finishing it. Whenever I feel like throwing in the towel on a tough assignment or challenge, I think of Santiago strapped to that fishing line for days on end, refusing to let go no matter how exhausted he became. If an old man like that could篇2The Old Man and the Sea - An Epic Tale of PerseveranceHey guys! I just finished reading this really cool book called "The Old Man and the Sea" by Ernest Hemingway, and I have to tell you all about it! It's a book that my English teacher recommended, and at first, I was a bit hesitant because it's a classic and all, but let me tell you, it turned out to be an absolute page-turner!The story revolves around this old Cuban fisherman named Santiago, who hasn't caught a single fish for 84 days straight. Can you imagine going that long without any luck? I'd probably have given up after the first week or so! But not Santiago – he's as tough as nails and refuses to let his bad luck get him down.One day, Santiago decides to venture out into the Gulf Stream, way farther than any of the other fishermen would dareto go. And it's a good thing he did because that's when the real adventure begins! After battling for days with an enormous marlin, Santiago finally manages to catch the massive fish and lashes it to the side of his skiff (that's a small boat, in case you didn't know).But the troubles don't end there! As Santiago starts his journey back to shore, sharks begin to circle his boat, attracted by the scent of the marlin's blood. Now, this is where things get really intense! Santiago has to fight off these relentless sharks with nothing but a harpoon and his bare hands. It's like something straight out of an action movie, I swear!Even though Santiago loses the battle against the sharks, and the marlin is reduced to nothing but a skeleton by the time he reaches the shore, the story isn't really about the fish itself. It's about the old man's unwavering spirit, his determination, and his ability to endure against all odds.I gotta admit, at first, I thought Santiago was a bit crazy for putting himself through all that trouble for just one fish. But as I read on, I realized that the marlin represented so much more – it was a symbol of his lifelong struggle against nature, his fight against the inevitable forces of aging and the relentless march of time.One of the things that really struck me about the book was Hemingway's writing style. It's so simple and straightforward, yet it packs such a powerful punch. He doesn't use fancy words or convoluted sentences; instead, he lets the raw emotions and the vivid imagery do the talking. It's like he's painting a picture with words, and you can almost feel the salty sea air and hear the creaking of Santiago's boat as you read.Another thing that really resonated with me was the idea of resilience and perseverance. Santiago faces so many obstacles and setbacks, but he never gives up. He just keeps pushing forward, no matter how bleak things seem. And in the end, even though he doesn't achieve his ultimate goal of bringing back the marlin, he still earns the respect and admiration of the entire village for his courage and determination.I think that's a really important lesson for all of us, especially us teenagers who are just starting to figure out our place in the world. Life isn't always going to be easy, and we're going to face our fair share of challenges and disappointments. But if we can learn to keep going, to never give up, and to face our struggles head-on like Santiago did, then we'll be able to overcome anything that comes our way.So, if you haven't read "The Old Man and the Sea" yet, I highly recommend that you do! It's a relatively short book, but it packs a powerful punch and will leave you thinking about it long after you've finished reading. And who knows, maybe it'll even inspire you to take on your own epic battles against the forces of nature (or just against that Math homework that's been giving you trouble – same difference, really).Anyway, that's my two cents on this classic novel. I hope I've piqued your interest and that you'll give it a read soon. Happy reading, my friends!篇3The Old Man and the Sea - An Epic Tale of DeterminationHave you ever felt like you were battling against impossible odds, but you just couldn't give up? That's exactly what the old man in Ernest Hemingway's novel "The Old Man and the Sea" goes through. It's an amazing story that really inspired me!The novel takes place in a small fishing village in Cuba, where an old fisherman named Santiago has gone 84 days without catching a single fish. All the younger fishermen make fun of the unlucky "salao" and his bad luck streak. But Santiagodoesn't let it get him down. He's determined to sail out further than any of the other boats to try his luck.On the 85th day, Santiago rows out alone in his tiny skiff, sailing farther out into the Gulf Stream than any fisherman has gone before. Finally, he gets a bite on his line and finds himself in an epic struggle with a massive marlin that is bigger than his whole boat! For three nail-biting days, the old man battles the giant fish, getting worn down but never giving up hope.When he finally manages to kill the marlin with his harpoon, Santiago is overjoyed, lashing it to the side of his skiff to head home and prove all the doubters wrong. But his troubles are far from over! As he sails back towards shore, sharks are attracted by the marlin's blood and begin violently attacking the catch, thrashing in the water around the boat.One by one, the sharks viciously tear off huge chunks of Santiago's hard-won marlin, leaving a trail of blood and devastation. The old man uses every weapon in his arsenal - bat, knife, tiller - to fend off the attacks, getting injured himself but never surrendering. By the time he finally makes it ashore, the sharks have devoured the entire marlin, leaving just a stripped carcass on the boat.Despite the loss of his prize catch, Santiago is greeted as a hero on the beach by the village that once mocked him. His fantastic perseverance and courage in battling the marlin and sharks amazed everyone who sees his battered, half-dead state. The old man collapses on his bed, dreaming about lions on the beach, finally at peace.To me, "The Old Man and the Sea" is way more than just a story about an old guy catching a fish. It's an epic tale about the importance of perseverance and not giving up in the face of immense struggle and setbacks. Even when Santiago was utterly exhausted and wounded from his battle at sea, he never stopped fighting for his prize. His unwavering determination and dignity in defeat teach an incredibly valuable life lesson.I was totally inspired by Santiago's resilience! The challenges he overcame were just mind-blowing. Even after the sharks ruined his life's work by destroying the marlin, he held his head high because he gave it his all and defined his self-worth through the effort he put in rather than the results. The book made me think deeply about developing the strength of character to persevere through whatever difficulties life throws my way.Overall, I absolutely loved "The Old Man and the Sea" and can't recommend it enough! Hemingway paints such a vivid, poetic portrait of Santiago's heroic struggle with gorgeous descriptions of the ocean and marine life. Even though it's pretty short for a novel at just over 100 pages, its impactful themes and symbolism give you so much to ponder long after finishing it. This book is totally a timeless classic that I'm sure will stick with me for the rest of my life!篇4The Old Man and the Sea - A True Fishing AdventureHey there, guys! Today, I'm going to tell you all about this really cool book I read called "The Old Man and the Sea" by Ernest Hemingway. It's a story about an old fisherman named Santiago who goes on this epic fishing journey, and let me tell you, it's one wild ride!So, Santiago is this experienced fisherman who lives in a small village near the sea. He hasn't caught a single fish in 84 days, which is like, forever! All the other fishermen start to think he's unlucky and doesn't have it in him anymore. But Santiago doesn't give up. He's determined to prove them wrong.One day, Santiago sets out on his little skiff (that's a small boat) all by himself, far out into the Gulf Stream. He's hoping to catch some big fish and end his bad luck streak. And boy, does he ever catch a big one!After a few days of not catching anything, Santiago's line gets a massive tug. He's hooked onto something huge! It turns out to be a massive marlin, which is like, the biggest fish ever. This marlin is so strong that it starts dragging Santiago's skiff across the ocean for days!Santiago has to be really brave and use all his fishing skills to try and catch this marlin. He gets cut up by the fishing line, gets super sunburned, and even has to fight off sharks that are trying to eat the marlin! It's like a crazy battle between Santiago and the forces of nature.Despite all the challenges, Santiago never gives up. He keeps fighting and fighting, determined to catch the marlin and prove his worth as a fisherman. Finally, after days of struggle, he manages to kill the marlin and lash it to the side of his skiff.But the adventure isn't over yet! On his way back to the village, Santiago has to fight off even more sharks that are trying to eat the marlin. It's a constant battle, but he never loses hope or courage.When Santiago finally makes it back to the village, he's completely exhausted but also proud of his incredible achievement. The other fishermen are amazed by the size of the marlin, and Santiago regains their respect.To me, this story is all about perseverance, determination, and having the courage to never give up, no matter how tough things get. Santiago is like a real-life superhero, fighting against the sea and its creatures with just his fishing skills and his unbreakable spirit.I think the message of the book is that if you work hard, stay brave, and never lose hope, you can overcome any challenge that life throws your way. It's a really inspiring story that shows the power of the human spirit.And that's the gist of "The Old Man and the Sea"! It's a classic adventure tale that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end. If you haven't read it yet, I highly recommend giving it a try. It's a book that will stay with you long after you've finished reading it.So, what did you guys think of my book report? Did I make you want to read this amazing story for yourself? Let me know if you have any other questions or if you want me to recommendmore awesome books like this one. Until next time, happy reading, my friends!篇5The Old Man and the Sea: A Heroic Tale of PerseveranceHey there, guys! Today, I want to talk to you about this really cool book I just read called "The Old Man and the Sea" by Ernest Hemingway. Now, I know what you're thinking – "Ugh, another boring old book that's going to put me to sleep." But trust me, this one is different. It's a story about an old fisherman named Santiago who goes out to sea and has the most epic battle with a massive marlin. Seriously, it's like something straight out of an adventure movie!The book starts off with Santiago, who's been down on his luck lately and hasn't caught a single fish in 84 days. Can you imagine going that long without catching anything? I'd probably give up after, like, two days! But not Santiago. He's a tough old dude who refuses to let his bad luck get him down. Even though all the younger fishermen make fun of him and call him "salao," which means "the worst form of unlucky," he keeps on trying.One day, Santiago decides to sail out farther than usual, way out into the Gulf Stream. And that's when the real action starts.He hooks this massive marlin, and I mean MASSIVE. Like, bigger than his entire boat! And then begins this crazy battle that lasts for three whole days and nights. Santiago has to use all his strength and skill to try and reel in this monster fish.Can you picture it? An old man, all alone in a tiny boat, fighting against a gigantic marlin that's stronger than he is. It's like something out of a superhero movie! Santiago's hands are cut and bleeding, and he's exhausted, but he refuses to give up. He talks to the marlin, apologizes to it, and even starts to respect it for being such a worthy opponent.Finally, after what feels like forever, Santiago manages to kill the marlin and lashes it to the side of his boat. But that's not the end of his troubles. As he's sailing back to shore, sharks start to show up and start tearing chunks out of the marlin. Santiago has to fight them off with everything he's got, using a harpoon, a knife, and even his fists!By the time he makes it back to shore, all that's left of the marlin is a skeletal carcass. But you know what? Santiago doesn't even care. He's just proud that he was able to catch the fish in the first place, and that he never gave up, no matter how tough things got.That's what I love about this book. It's not just about a man catching a fish. It's about perseverance, determination, and never giving up, no matter how hard things get. Santiago is like a real-life superhero, but instead of having super strength or the ability to fly, his superpower is his unbreakable spirit.I think we could all learn a thing or two from Santiago. Whenever I'm feeling down or like giving up on something, I just think about how he kept going, even when everything seemed hopeless. If an old man can single-handedly catch a giant marlin and fight off sharks, then I can definitely get through whatever challenge I'm facing.So, if you're looking for a book that's not only exciting and action-packed but also has a really inspiring message, then you should definitely check out "The Old Man and the Sea." Trust me, it's way cooler than it sounds, and you might just learn a thing or two about being a true hero along the way.篇6The Old Man and the Sea - A Classic Tale of PerseveranceHey there, fellow book lovers! Have you ever read a story that just sticks with you, like really gets under your skin and makes you think about life in a whole new way? Well, let me tellyou about this awesome book called "The Old Man and the Sea" by Ernest Hemingway.It's a pretty short book, but don't let that fool you – it packs a serious punch! The story follows an old Cuban fisherman named Santiago who hasn't caught a single fish in 84 days. Can you imagine going that long without any luck? I'd be ready to give up after like, a week! But not Santiago. He's what you might call a tad stubborn, but in a good way.So, on the 85th day, Santiago heads out alone in his little skiff, determined to finally catch something. And boy, does he ever! He hooks this massive marlin, like bigger than his boat kind of massive. Now, most people would probably cut their losses and let that bad boy go, but not our friend Santiago. He's in it for the long haul.What follows is an epic battle of wills between the old man and the marlin. Santiago gets pulled around for days, his hands becoming a bloody mess from the fishing line. He's exhausted, dehydrated, and even starts seeing hallucinations! But he never gives up. His determination and perseverance are justmind-blowing.Finally, after an intense struggle, Santiago manages to kill the marlin and lashes it to the side of his skiff. But the adventureisn't over yet! As he starts heading back to shore, sharks begin attacking the marlin, taking huge chunks out of the fish. Santiago has to use every trick in the book to fend them off, but it's a losing battle.By the time he reaches the shore, there's hardly anything left of the marlin except a stripped carcass. It's heartbreaking to see all of Santiago's hard work essentially wasted. But you know what? The old man doesn't even care. He's just proud that he went out there, faced his fears, and gave it his all.That's the real beauty of this story – it's not about the end result, but about the journey itself. Santiago shows incredible courage, dignity, and humility throughout his ordeal. He never complains or feels sorry for himself, even when things look bleakest. He just keeps pushing forward, taking each challenge as it comes.And that's a lesson we could all stand to learn, right? Life is full of struggles and setbacks, but it's how we respond to them that really matters. Do we give up at the first sign of trouble, or do we dig deep and persevere, like Santiago?I don't know about you, but this book has definitely inspired me to be more resilient and never quit, no matter how toughthings get. Santiago's indomitable spirit is something to truly admire.Plus, Hemingway's writing is just gorgeous. He has a way of painting these vivid pictures with just a few carefully chosen words. The descriptions of the ocean, the fish, and Santiago's battle with nature are simply breathtaking. You feel like you're right there in the boat with the old man, feeling every wave and tasting the salt spray.So, if you haven't read "The Old Man and the Sea" yet, do yourself a favor and check it out! It's a true classic that will stick with you long after you've turned the final page. Who knows, it might just inspire you to face your own personal "marlin" with the same grit and determination as Santiago.Alright, that's all I've got for now! Let me know if you decide to read the book – I'd love to hear your thoughts. Until next time, happy reading, my friends!。

In the realm of life,there is a moment that is both fleeting and precious the present. It is the only time we truly possess,and it is the foundation upon which we build our future.Embracing the present and starting a new chapter in our lives is a journey that requires mindfulness,courage,and determination.The Importance of Living in the MomentThe present moment is where our reality lies.It is the only time we can act and make decisions that will shape our lives.By focusing on the present,we can avoid the pitfalls of dwelling on past regrets or anxieties about the future.Living in the moment allows us to appreciate the beauty of life as it unfolds,to savor the small joys,and to respond to challenges with a clear and focused mind.Overcoming ProcrastinationOne of the biggest barriers to starting a new chapter is procrastination.It is the thief of time,robbing us of the opportunity to make progress.To overcome procrastination,we must recognize its triggers and develop strategies to counteract it.This could involve setting small,achievable goals,breaking tasks into manageable parts,and rewarding ourselves for completing tasks.Setting Clear GoalsA new chapter begins with a clear vision of where we want to go.Setting goals provides direction and purpose.It is essential to define what we want to achieve,why it is important to us,and what steps we need to take to get there.Goals should be specific, measurable,achievable,relevant,and timebound SMART.Developing a Growth MindsetA growth mindset is the belief that abilities and intelligence can be developed through dedication and hard work.It is the opposite of a fixed mindset,where one believes that skills are innate and cannot be changed.Embracing a growth mindset allows us to see challenges as opportunities for learning and growth,rather than as insurmountable obstacles.Cultivating ResilienceLife is full of ups and downs,and starting a new chapter often means facing unknown challenges.Resilience is the ability to bounce back from adversity.It involvesmaintaining a positive outlook,seeking support from others,and learning from our experiences.Resilient individuals are better equipped to navigate the complexities of life and to start new chapters with confidence.Embracing ChangeChange is an inevitable part of life,and starting a new chapter often involves embracing change.It requires stepping out of our comfort zones and being open to new experiences. By viewing change as an opportunity for growth,we can approach it with a sense of excitement and curiosity,rather than fear.Maintaining BalanceWhile it is important to strive for new goals and achievements,it is equally important to maintain a balance in life.This includes taking care of our physical health,nurturing relationships,and making time for relaxation and leisure.A balanced life provides the energy and mental clarity needed to pursue new endeavors.ConclusionStarting a new chapter is not just about making a fresh start it is about living a life that is rich in experiences,growth,and fulfillment.By seizing the present,setting clear goals, developing a growth mindset,cultivating resilience,embracing change,and maintaining balance,we can write a new chapter that is both inspiring and rewarding.Let us not wait for the perfect moment to begin let us create it,for the present is the only time we have to make a difference.。
停止生活英文
停止生活英文Stop the Life。
Life can be overwhelming at times. We are constantly bombarded with responsibilities, deadlines, and expectations. It feels like we are always running on a treadmill, trying to keep up with the fast pace of life. But what if we just stopped? What if we took a moment to pause and breathe?Stopping the life doesn't mean giving up or quitting. It means taking a break from the chaos and finding a moment of peace and stillness. It means prioritizing our mental and emotional well-being over the never-ending to-do list.When we stop the life, we give ourselves the opportunity to reflect and recharge. We can take a step back and evaluate what truly matters to us. We can reconnect with our passions and dreams, and realign our actions with our values.Stopping the life also allows us to be present in the moment. Instead of constantly worrying about the future or dwelling on the past, we can focus on the here and now. We can savor the simple pleasures of life, like a warm cup of tea or a beautiful sunset.In a world that glorifies busyness and productivity, stopping the life can feel counterintuitive. But it is essential for our well-being. It is a reminder that we are human beings, not human doings. We need moments of rest and rejuvenation to thrive, not just survive.So, let's stop the life. Let's take a break from the hustle and bustle, and give ourselves the gift of stillness. Let's prioritize our mental and emotional well-being, and find peace in the midst of chaos. It's time to hit the pause button and embrace the beauty of simply being.。

1.从失败中站起来英语作⽂ Near, near, July 3 is coming. I can't calm myself, only waves of wandering footsteps, surging out the hot air that is about to swell in my difficult mood. If I can, I sincerely hope this day will never come. But... That's wishful thinking. From the moment I opened my eyes, my heart has been uneasy, afraid to face the teacher's face, afraid to face the scolding of parents, afraid to face myself, and most afraid to see the report card recording mysterious numbers. Since I stepped into the teacher's door, I carried a heart that beat the rabbit and dragged two weak legs. Even what usually looks warm and amiable has now become a devil and grinned. Listening to the monitor reading the results of each student and ranking, my heart is empty and drifting. When I read my name, my heart seemed to be pressed by an invisible stone, my mouth kept shaking, and my brain was blank. Everything is terrible“ what！” My achievement was beyond my expectation. It's really an unprecedented difference! At this time, I really want to have an underground hole to drill down Look at the scores in that column. I'm stunned. Especially in English, I never thought that I could only take the test. In my expectation, it should be more than 90 points! A few days before the exam, I discuss English problems with my classmates at school every day. After lunch, I will comprehensively check English words with my classmates. When I get home, I will also do English exercises from time to time and read English books or complete English solutions. How? How? Every time I take a big test, I've never had such a low score. The second is Chinese, science and history... In short, no matter which subject did not get the usual results, they were not satisfied. Suddenly a sense of inferiority sprang up. My heart was like overturning a bottle of five flavors. All the ups and downs rushed to my heart and couldn't help crying. I feel sorry for too many people. Now I can only use a poem to express my mood. "My heart is like a gray wood, and my body is like a boat without tie." In this way, with a heavy burden on my back, I thought about how to explain to my mother and walked on the path home. When I walked into the house, I was silent and my eyes were red. Mother saw it, swallowed what she just wanted to say and continued to do her own thing. I thought to myself that this silence is not the way. I can hide for a while and I can't hide for a lifetime! Finally, I summoned up the courage to come to my mother and told her everything. As soon as the voice fell, I closed my eyes and waited for a storm to come. But instead of yelling at me as I imagined, my mother put down her work, gently put her hand on my head, stroked it and said affectionately, "the quality of your grades can't determine anything. As long as you work hard, my mother won't blame you. As long as you take out the questions of this exam, ask more and do more, you will have greater harvest next time, Learning attitude is the most important! " I smiled, that kind of smile is the reward for my efforts; That kind of smile is the relaxed joy after putting down all the burdens on your shoulders; That kind of smile can't be described in words!2.从失败中站起来英语作⽂ I'm glad to see the dazzling trophy on the stage. After all, it's not easy to get this trophy! I knew I could stand up from failure! Since I was a child, I have gained public attention in the music industry. In big and small competitions, I can often easily defeat my opponents and win the championship easily in the "battlefield" with my best state. Gradually, I became lazy and invincible. I couldn't help feeling proud and arrogant. I didn't pay attention to anyone. No matter how my family and friends admonished me or what loyal advice I said was against my ears, I didn't pay attention to them. Later, I participated in a small piano solo. At the beginning, the confidence index exploded. I thought I could go on the vast stage with an ordinary mind and the best state, complete the solo, and win the championship again with less power than nine cows and two tigers. Finally, I fell out of the list and didn't win any awards. At this moment, I was surprised and disappointed. I couldn't bear to degenerate. I do nothing all day, abandon myself and lock myself in my room. My body is very light and empty, so that I can become a body that has lost my soul. At this time, my cell phone rang, breaking the silence. The caller ID on my mobile phone turned out to be Wan Qin, my old and dead party that I haven't seen for centuries. At this time, I hesitated for a moment and pressed the "answer" button“KC！ You big fool! Didn't we agree to break into the world series together? Don't you always want to compete with me and beat me completely? Why are you so degenerate at this time? I won't allow you to do this! You haven't fulfilled your promise. You must keep your promise and let me lose! It's time to wake up from the nightmare, my old death party! " The other end of the call suddenly roared at me. I held my mobile phone tightly and kept silent. I could only let my tears fall uncontrollably and fall to the ground. I lit a fire in my heart and replied to each other softly, "thank you, best friend". At the moment, I seem to seethe brightest smile in her life in my mind. I decided to cheer up, wave my hands again and let it beat freely on the black and white keys. However, I feel very hard and helpless in the process. But I understand the truth that only when you eat bitterness can you be a superior. With perseverance, I practice hard and set a new goal for myself. Fortunately, her words in my heart have become my greatest motivation and let me move towards success. After thousands of days of military training and a short time of military use, I can return to the "battlefield" again in good condition. Finally, Huangtian is worthy of those who have a heart. In this national competition, I achieved my goal, surpassed myself and successfully won the third place. With tears in my eyes, I saw her walking in my direction, gradually accelerating her steps, and then offered a sincere hug. This hug is not only warm, but also full of gratitude and comfort. In this competition, I realized that this is just a new beginning, and there is an endless road ahead waiting for me to leave my mark. Therefore, I can not stop fighting, but should work hard. Now I finally stood on the podium in Changxing. As a result, the water silver trophy was held in the air to witness my joy.I finally succeeded in standing up from failure.3.从失败中站起来英语作⽂ Every time I see my big brother and big sister skating on the ice rink, I envy it: if I could skate, how wonderful! In the summer vacation in my second grade, I begged my father to buy me a pair of skates. My father was so entangled by me that he helped me buy a pair of light blue skates, which I carefully selected! I couldn't wait to put on my skates. I thought skating was a piece of cake for myself. I fell on my feet as soon as I took a step. Alas! With tears streaming down my face, I really wanted to give up skating. My father seemed to see my mind and encouraged me to say, "no, you should learn to stand up from setbacks. You can't give up halfway because of a fall. As long as you master your skills, you will succeed!" I kept my father's words in mind. I stood up, wiped away the tears on my face and walked hard forward. After a while, I thought I could skate. I turned back and smiled at my father, and my father nodded to me. Suddenly, my father said loudly, "promise! Be careful of the piece in front of you... "Before dad finished, I fell down" bang ", and my ass was almost broken into eight pieces. Ouch! I couldn't stand still in pain and kept shouting "Dad, I hurt..." my father hurried to help me. My ass had become blue and purple. I suddenly thought of my father's words. I forgot the pain, so I stood up bravely and didn't go home until I could skate. Ah! I finally learned to skate, thanks to my father's words: stand up from setbacks!。

I want the future to be better than the past. I don't want it contaminated by the mistakes and errors with which history is filled. We should all be concerned about the future because that is where we will spend the remainder of our lives.
The past is gone and static,nothing we can do will change it.The future is before us and dyanmic,everything we do will affect it.Each day brings with it new frontiers,in our homes and in our business,if we only recognize them.we are just at the beginning of the progress in every field of human endeavor.。
