I have to say that future is now. Thatis to say we must treasure every minute now. If we want to have a brightfuture, we should know how important time is and use it well.There is an old English saying:“Gain time, gain life.” Time is alwayswith us. When we are at table, time passes; when we play, time goes by. Wealways say“Time is money”, but time is even more valuable than money, becausewhen money is spent, we can earn it back. But if time is gone, it will nevercome back. So, some of us even say time is priceless.We should always remember: future is now. For us students, we should workas hard as we can to create a great future of our own. We should make the bestuse of every hour and be the master of today. We should do everything before usas well as possible. And never put off what can be done today till tomorrow.As we all know, “Time and tide wait for no man.” If you waste today, youwill feel sorry tomorrow. So from now on, work hard. Tomorrow will be better,and your future will be brighter. Remember:“No pains, no gains.”Today’s hardwork is the cause of tomorrow’s harvest.七、句子翻译72 、游行已经结束几小时了。
