许多年轻人很在意自己的外貌的问题英语作文
许多年轻人很在意自己的外貌的问题英语作文全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1Many Young People Care Too Much About LooksHi there! I'm just a regular kid, but I've noticed that a lot of my friends and classmates seem to be really focused on their appearance lately. It's kind of weird and I don't totally understand it.The girls are always talking about clothes, makeup, hairstyles and how they look. The boys obsess over having cool shoes, trendy haircuts and building muscles. Even kids younger than me are starting to worry about their looks too! It's kind of crazy if you think about it.I have a friend named Lily who is absolutely beautiful, but she's always complaining that she's ugly and fat. She's really skinny actually, but she thinks she needs to lose weight. She's only 10 years old! Why does she feel that way about herself? It makes me sad that such a pretty girl has such a negative view of her body and appearance.Then there's Jake who is on the heavy side, but he's really funny and has a great personality. Unfortunately, he gets teased and bullied a lot for being overweight. He never wants to take his shirt off at the pool or beach because he's self-conscious about his belly. Kids can be so mean sometimes.My older sister Emma is a teenager now and she stresses out so much about her looks. She spends hours every day on her hair and makeup. She's gorgeous without all that stuff, but she doesn't believe me when I tell her. Emma is also constantly taking selfies to post on Instagram and TikTok. If a photo doesn't get enough likes, she gets mad and deletes it. Then she takes about a million more trying to get the perfect shot. Talk about being obsessed with image!Emma's best friend Chloe is even worse though. Chloe comes from a wealthy family and her parents buy her expensive designer clothes and accessories all the time. She always has to have the latest trendy outfits and shoes. If Chloe's outfit doesn't look perfect, she has a total meltdown. She also tries out fad diets all the time to stay skinny. We're only in middle school - why does she care about that stuff so much already?Some of the older boys at my school only seem to care about building big muscles and working out. They're always atthe gym lifting weights and chugging protein shakes. A couple of them have even started taking weird supplements and vitamins to try and bulk up faster. I heard that can be really dangerous and unhealthy, especially for growing teenagers. But they just want to look ripped with six-pack abs.My friend Michael is the star of the school's football team and he gets a lot of attention from girls because he'sgood-looking and in great shape. However, he told me he feels a ton of pressure to maintain a certain image and physique. He's afraid if he doesn't look a certain way, he'll stop being popular. No wonder kids develop body image issues and eating disorders!Speaking of eating disorders, there's a girl at my school named Ava who has been struggling with anorexia. It's really sad - she's gotten so skinny and frail. Ava is obsessed with being thin and she barely eats anything. Her parents had to take her to a special treatment program to get help. I really hope she gets better soon because her health is way more important than how she looks.To be honest, I don't totally get why so many young people, including kids my age, are already so fixated on their appearance. It almost seems like an obsession for some of them. There's waymore to life than how you look on the outside. Stuff like being a good person, working hard in school, having fun, spending time with family and friends - those things matter so much more than superficial looks in my opinion.Don't get me wrong, it's fine to care about your appearance a normal amount. There's nothing wrong with showering, grooming yourself, wearing clean clothes, etc. But becoming straight-up obsessed with your looks is unhealthy, especially at a young age. It can really mess with your self-esteem and mental health.Ultimately, I think all this intense focus on appearance is being driven by social media, celebrity culture, advertising and society in general. We're constantly bombarded with images of supposed "perfection" - perfect faces, bodies, hair, outfits, you name it. Doctored photos, filters, professional hair and makeup - it's all fake and unrealistic! No wonder so many young people, especially girls, feel inadequate and insecure.It's really sad because there's so much more to life than your physical appearance. Your personality, intelligence, talents, compassion - those are the things that really make you a beautiful person, in my opinion. To all my friends and peers who are obsessing over their looks, I urge you to shift your focus tomore positive and meaningful areas of life. You're all amazing just the way you are, flaws and all!Well, that's just my take as a 10-year-old kid. Maybe I'm too young to fully understand this whole obsession with appearance. But it definitely worries me to see so many young people, even little kids, stressing about their looks so intensely. I really hope we can start celebrating our inner beauty more than our outer appearance. The world would be a lot happier that way!篇2A Whole Lotta Fuss Over LooksHey there! Today I want to talk about something that's been on my mind a lot lately. You see, I've noticed that a bunch of kids my age seem to be really, really focused on the way they look. Like, almost obsessed with it. And I gotta be honest, I just don't get it.Don't get me wrong, I like looking nice and all. Who doesn't want to have cool clothes and hairstyles? But some of my friends take it way too far if you ask me. They spend hours upon hours picking out their outfits, doing their hair and makeup, and taking a million selfies until they get that "perfect" shot for social media.And that's just the start of it! They're constantly talking about things like losing weight, getting taller, having clearer skin - you name it. If some celebrity or influencer has a certain look, they've just gotta try and copy it. It's like their whole life revolves around appearances.I remember one time, my buddy Jake was going on and on about some new diet he was trying. He was barely eating anything! When I asked him why, he said it was because he wanted to have "amazing abs" like some guy he follows on TikTok. Can you believe that? A 12-year-old kid stressing over his abs?Then there's my pal Emma. She's a total sweetheart, but man is she harsh on herself about her looks. Last year, she got herself all worked up because her hair wasn't as "luscious and shiny" as this girl in her class. Emma started using all these special shampoos and treatments that cost a fortune. Her parents had to step in and level with her - her hair looked perfectly fine!I just don't understand why my friends are so hyper-focused on this stuff. Don't they realize that looks aren't everything? That there's so much more to life than obsessing over your appearance 24/7? It really bums me out to see them beating themselves up constantly over their bodies and faces.From where I'm standing, they all look just great already. Sure, none of us are supermodels or anything. But who cares? We're just kids! We shouldn't be stressing over "problem areas" or comparing ourselves to airbrushed photos in magazines.We've got our whole lives ahead of us. Looks fade over time no matter what, you know?Instead of wasting so much energy on vanity, I think we'd all be better off focusing on stuff that really matters. Like being a good friend, working hard in school, pursuing hobbies we love. Those are the things that'll truly make us happy and successful in the long run - not a perfect hairstyle or rock-hard abs.Maybe I'm oversimplifying it. I know social media and celebrity culture make it really hard to be confident these days. With a billion fake pictures and videos constantly getting shoved in our faces, it's tough to realize that real life doesn't actually look like that. Heck, sometimes even I find myself wishing I looked different.But at the end of the day, I figure we've gotta try our best to not get caught up in those unrealistic standards. To focus on being our best selves inside and out - not just stressing over the "out" part. Because as cheesy as it sounds, true beauty reallydoes start from within. It's about having a good heart, being kind, and loving yourself for who you are.I really hope my friends, and all you other kids out there, can start to see that soon. That you don't need to drive yourself crazy with diets, expensive products, or procedures to look a certain way. You're all already beautiful and wonderful just being yourselves! If you can embrace that mindset, you'll be so much happier. Trust me on that one.So anyway, those are just my two cents. In the end, you've gotta do what feels right for you. But I know I'm gonna keep rocking my wild bedhead and dorky outfits with pride! This is just how I look, and I'm perfectly fine with it. If you can get to that point of self-love too, you'll be set for life.Okay, I'll get off my soapbox now! Thanks for letting me ramble. Stay cool, stay confident, and try not to obsess too much about your looks. There's a whole wide world to experience beyond that! Peace out, friends!篇3Many Kids Care Too Much About Their LooksDo you ever feel like your friends are all obsessed with the way they look? Like they spend hours getting ready in the morning and are constantly checking themselves in the mirror? I've noticed it a lot lately, especially with my classmates. It's like everyone is super worried about their appearance!Take my friend Lily for example. She is really pretty with long brown hair and big green eyes. But she's always complaining that her hair is too frizzy or her eyes look tired. She wears a ton of makeup, even though she's only 10 years old! And she's always buying new clothes and accessories because she thinks what she has isn't trendy enough.Then there's Jake who is on the heavier side. He's really funny and smart, but he never wants his picture taken because he thinks he looks fat. He's always sucking in his stomach and pushing out his chest to try and look thinner. Sometimes the other boys tease him about his weight, which makes him really sad.My friend group is honestly a little looks-obsessed in general. The girls are always talking about dieting, even though we're still kids. And the boys are super into building muscle and looking buff. We spend so much time critiquing our appearances instead of just having fun and being kids!I think adults are partly to blame for why we're all so worried about our looks. The movies, TV shows, ads, and music videos we see are full of perfect-looking people. The heroes and heartthrobs are always slim with great hair and flawless skin. Girls are bombarded with images of extremely thin models with no curves or imperfections. Is it any wonder kids get a skewed idea of what we're supposed to look like?It doesn't help that a lot of our parents and teachers make comments about our appearances too. Like if I've put on a bit of weight, adults will say things like "You've really filling out!" Or if I have a bad hair day, they'll ask "Did you even brush your hair today?" Just little remarks that make me self-conscious.I also think social media makes the looks-obsession worse. Everyone is posting super flattering, edited selfies with filters to look more perfect. And you get loads of comments and likes if you're considered hot or pretty. I have friends who spend literally hours perfecting a single Instagram photo before posting. It's like their whole self-worth depends on how many likes they get. So messed up!It makes me sad that we've all become so hypercritical about our appearances at such a young age. Looks fade over time and there's so much more to life than obsessing over them as kids.Your personality, talents, intelligence - those are the things that really matter and make you special. Not whether you fit some ridiculous beauty standard set by the media.I just wish we could all be happy and confident in our own skin, flaws and all. Why are we all so ashamed of our pimples, frizzy hair, extra weight, or whatever else we're told isn't attractive enough? Those "flaws" are what make us unique and human. And at our age, our bodies and looks are still changing so much. We shouldn't be stressing over the way we look. We should just focus on being healthy, active kids who treat others with kindness no matter what's on the outside.Looks may get you some attention, but it's what's inside that really counts in the end. Our generation places way too much importance on outer beauty. It would be so freeing if we could let go of that and just appreciate ourselves and our friends for who we truly are. Now that would be real beauty!篇4Many Young People Care Too Much About LooksA lot of kids my age seem to really care about how they look. They want to have the coolest clothes, shoes, hairstyles and accessories. Some of them even wear makeup or get fake tans orthings like that to try to look a certain way. I think it's kind of silly how much time, energy and money gets spent on looks.Don't get me wrong, I like looking nice and wearing cool outfits sometimes. But I don't think it should be the most important thing. There's so much more to life than just appearances. I'd much rather be a kind person than just a pretty face. Looks fade over time anyway, so why get so hung up on them, especially at our age?I think one of the big reasons kids get so obsessed with their looks is because of social media. Everyone is always posting selfies and pictures trying to look perfect. Then you start comparing yourself to others and feeling bad if you don't match up to those standards of beauty. The whole Instagram culture makes you feel like you have to look a certain way to be accepted.Another issue is advertising and the media pushing this idea that you're not good enough unless you buy certain products or look a certain way. Companies try to make you feel insecure about your looks so you'll buy their makeup, clothes, weight loss products or whatever they're selling. It's kind of messed up when you think about it.The pressure to look good doesn't just come from the outside though. A lot of it is internal too. Kids will bully or make fun of others for the way they look. If someone is overweight, has acne, wears glasses or doesn't dress in the latest trends, they get ridiculed. No one wants to get laughed at, so they obsess over trying to fit the mold of what's considered attractive.I've seen my own friends go through this. They'll spend hours getting ready, putting on a full face of makeup despite being only 10 or 11 years old. They'll refuse to be seen without their hair and outfit looking perfect. Or they'll starve themselves because they think they need to be skinny. It's really unhealthy, both physically and mentally.What I wish they could see is that looks really aren't everything. Yeah, it's natural to care about your appearance a little bit. But when it becomes your whole focus and top priority as a kid, that's going too far. There are way more important things, like being a good friend, student, child, getting an education and making the world a little bit better.Instead of obsessing over looks, I think we should focus more on developing our skills, nurturing our minds and bodies, and becoming good human beings. Kindness, intelligence, creativity, hard work and compassion - those are the qualitiesthat really matter and will serve you well in life. Not whether you have the hottest new sneakers or latest hairstyle.I feel really lucky that my parents have encouraged me to not get too hung up on my appearance. They make sure I'm healthy, practice good hygiene and dress appropriately. But beyond that, they emphasize that my character and heart are what count most. As long as I'm taking care of myself and being a good person, they're happy.My advice to other kids would be to not get too caught up in the shallow stuff. Yeah, put a little effort into your appearance - that's fine. But don't obsess over it or let it control your life. Be comfortable in your own skin. Surround yourself with people who like you for who you are, not what you look like. And spend your time developing the things that really matter and will last: your mind, your spirit, your creativity and compassion.If you can do that, you'll be able to look back at your childhood without regrets about wasting it all worrying about something as trivial as looks. Those kinds of things shouldn't define you, especially not at this age. We're so young with so much life and potential ahead of us. Let's not squander that by buying into the unhealthy obsession with appearances that isway too prevalent these days. As the saying goes, beauty is only skin deep - it's what's on the inside that truly counts and lasts.篇5Many Kids Today Really Care About How They LookHi, my name is Emily and I'm in 5th grade. Today I want to talk to you about something I've noticed with a lot of kids my age – we seem to care a whole lot about our appearance and how we look. I see it at school, on TV shows, online, pretty much everywhere!The biggest thing kids today are focused on is their clothes and fashion. You can't just wear any old thing to school anymore. Everyone wants to have the coolest, trendiest outfits from the best brands. Last month, there was a huge fight on the playground because one girl made fun of another girl's shoes, calling them "ugly" and "last season". The girl who got teased ended up crying because she felt so bad.It's not just about having trendy clothes though. A lot of kids also stress about their hair nowadays. All the popular girls have these perfect, sleek hairstyles that always look flawless. My friend Sophia spends like an hour every morning straightening and curling her hair to get it just right. I've seen boys get mocked forhaving a "bad" haircut too. Looking fashionable from head to toe is crucial.On top of clothes and hair, kids obsess over their weight and body shape too. You hear a lot of girls saying they need to go on a diet because they feel fat. Some even skip meals to try and lose weight. The boys tend to worry about being too skinny and small.A lot of them go crazy about building muscle and working out.Makeup is another huge deal, even for elementary school girls. Pretty much every girl in my grade wears some kind of makeup like lip gloss, mascara or foundation to school. It's become this arms race of who can do the most elaborate makeup looks. The girls who are into makeup make fun of those who prefer the natural look.Social media is a huge factor in this obsession over appearances too. Everyone is constantly posting selfies and pics, wanting to look perfect. And then you get brutal comments from people saying "OMG you look so ugly in this" or "You need to lose some weight." It's easy to become obsessed with how you present yourself online.I've even started to feel self-conscious about my appearance thanks to all this pressure. I find myself critiquing my outfits, wondering if I should get different clothes. I've thought abouttrying to straighten my naturally curly hair. I look at my face in the mirror and pick out "flaws" sometimes. It's hard not to get caught up in obsessing over your looks when it's all anyone seems to care about these days.Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with wanting to look nice and expressing yourself through fashion and style. The issue is that way too many kids take it to an unhealthy, excessive level. We become hyper-focused on our appearances and insecure about the way we look. We bully others for not dressing or looking a certain way. We start feeling like our self-worth is based entirely on our external appearance.It would be great if kids could learn to not care quite so much about the superficial aspects of their looks. There's so much more to life than agonizing over your body, hair, makeup and clothes all the time. We should value internal qualities like kindness, intelligence and creativity over physical appearances. As long as you practice basic hygiene and don't look sloppy, does it really matter that much if your jeans aren't from the trendiest brand or your hair doesn't look perfect?I'm certainly guilty of caring too much about my looks at times. But I'm trying to be more accepting of myself and not get worked up over silly things like bad hair days. We're just kids -we shouldn't be stressing this much about appearances yet. I think we'd all be a lot happier if we could ease up on the excessive vanity and focus more on the things that really matter in life.So that's my take on why so many young people seem to be obsessed with their looks these days. It's gotten a little out of control if you ask me. I just hope my generation can learn to not put so much importance on our external appearances. After all, looks fade but a good personality lasts forever!篇6Many Kids Care Too Much About LooksHave you ever noticed how many kids, even really young ones, are always talking about how they look? They'll say things like "My hair is so ugly today" or "I hate my freckles" or "I'm too fat." It's kind of sad that kids are so worried about their appearance already.In my opinion, there's way too much pressure on kids these days to look a certain way. Everywhere you look, there are images in the media and online of seemingly "perfect" people with flawless skin, perfect hair, and beautiful features. Even a lot of kids' movies and TV shows feature characters that don't looklike regular kids at all - they're all slim with trendy clothes and hairstyles.I think this makes a lot of kids feel bad about how they look. They see those idealized images everywhere and start thinking they're not good enough if they don't measure up. So they become really self-conscious about their bodies, their faces, their weight, etc.I've even heard some kids at school talking about going on diets or wanting plastic surgery one day to change things they don't like about themselves. Can you believe that? Kids shouldn't even be thinking about that kind of stuff! We're just kids - we're supposed to be having fun and not worrying so much about our appearances.It's really unfair too, because genes play a huge role in how we look. Some kids are just naturally thinner or bigger boned than others. Some have acne, some have braces, some are taller or shorter. It's not something we can control that much, at least not until we're older. But there's so much pressure to try to look a certain "ideal" way.I think social media makes it even harder too. Kids are constantly posting selfies and looking at photos of each other. Sometimes people make mean comments about someone'slooks on their pictures. That has to really hurt! I have some friends who have gotten comments calling them ugly names based on their looks and it's just not right.I try not to get too caught up in all that stuff myself. Don't get me wrong, I care about my appearance just like anyone else. I like to look nice and wear clothes that fit my style. But I try not to obsess over it too much. There are way more important things about a person than just how they look on the outside.What really matters is what kind of person you are on the inside. Are you kind, honest, hardworking, loyal to your friends, passionate about your interests? Those things are so much more meaningful than just your appearance. Besides, no matter what you look like, there will always be some people who think you're amazing and others who don't - you can't please everyone! The most important thing is being comfortable with yourself.I wish more kids could see that their worth isn't based on their looks. We're all just kids, still growing and changing. We shouldn't have to feel so much pressure about our appearances already. We should be focusing on being good people, keeping an open mind, working hard in school, having fun experiences, and just enjoying our childhoods.I'm lucky because my parents really reinforce that message. They compliment me way more on my qualities as a person than on how I look. If I ever express unhappiness about my looks, they remind me about my other amazing traits and say that true beauty is about what's inside you, not outside. I have great role models there.That's not to say you shouldn't practice good hygiene or take care of yourself physically too. Those things are important. But you can do that without obsessing over trying to look like some unrealistic ideal. As long as you're clean, practicing healthy habits, and wearing clothes you feel good in, that's what matters most.I really hope more people - adults, the media, everyone - can start putting way less emphasis on people's looks and more on their internal qualities, especially for kids. We're just kids! Let us live and grow without that extra burden. There's more than enough time to obsess over appearances as adults if we really want to (though I still think that's kind of a waste). For now, why can't we just have fun being kids while building amazing characters to carry us through life?Those are just my thoughts, but I'd love to hear what other kids think. Do you feel a lot of pressure about your looks too?How do you deal with it? Let's have an open conversation and be there for each other. After all, we're all in this together as friends just trying to grow up。
6-13 There's more to life than being happy - Emily Smith演讲稿
I used to think the whole purpose of life was pursuing happiness. Everyone said the path to happiness was success, so I searched for that ideal job, that perfect boyfriend, that beautiful apartment. But instead of ever feeling fulfilled, I felt anxious and adrift. And I wasn't alone; my friends -- they struggled with this, too.我曾以为人生的目标就是追求快乐。
大家都说，成功是通往快乐的路，所以我就去寻找理想的工作、完美的男友、还有漂亮的公寓。
可是，我不但没有感到圆满，反而觉得焦虑、茫然。
而且不只是我，我的好朋友们也是一样。
Eventually, I decided to go to graduate school for positive psychology to learn what truly makes people happy. But what I discovered there changed my life. The data showed that chasing happiness can make people unhappy. And what really struck me was this: the suicide rate has been rising around the world, and it recently reached a 30-year high in America. Even though life is getting objectively better by nearly every conceivable standard, more people feel hopeless, depressed and alone. There's an emptiness gnawing away at people, and you don't have to be clinically depressed to feel it. Sooner or later, I think we all wonder: Is this all there is? And according to the research, what predicts this despair is not a lack of happiness. It's a lack of something else, a lack of having meaning in life.我最后决定去研究生院读正向心理学，去寻找能让人开心的东西是什么。
描述一个对你很重要的东西英语作文
描述一个对你很重要的东西英语作文全文共3篇示例，供读者参考篇1My Most Important ThingThere are a lot of important things in my life, like my family, my friends, my home, and my favorite toys and games. But one thing that is extra special and important to me is my stuffed elephant named Ellie. Ellie is a soft, gray stuffed animal that has been with me for as long as I can remember. She's getting a little worn and faded from being so well-loved, but that just makes me love her even more.Ellie was a gift from my grandparents when I was just a baby. They gave her to me when I was born because they know how much I love elephants. My grandpa even told me that elephants are known for having great memories, so Ellie would help me remember all the special times we have together. And boy, do we have a lot of memories!I take Ellie with me everywhere I go. She's came along on every family vacation, to the doctors for check-ups, over to friends' houses for sleepovers, and even to school most days.Having Ellie by my side makes me feel safe, comforted, and happy no matter where I am or what I'm doing.One of my favorite memories with Ellie was when I got really sick a couple years ago with a bad flu. I was stuck in bed for over a week feeling just awful. My mom said I had a super high fever and I would toss and turn, shivering and sweating at the same time. The only thing that could calm me down was cuddling up with my soft, warm Ellie. I would bury my face into her squishy belly and she would soak up my tears when I felt miserable. I don't know what I would have done without her sweet company during those difficult days.Another time when Ellie was very important was after my parents got divorced last year. That was a really hard and sad time for me and my little brother. Everything was changing so quickly and I didn't understand why my dad had to leave and live somewhere else. I cried a lot and felt scared about the future. But snuggling Ellie helped me get through it. She was a constant source of comfort and familiarity when my world seemed upside down. I could pour my heart out to Ellie, telling her all my worries and fears, and she would just listen without judging me. I'm so grateful I had her during that big life transition.My friends think it's a little babyish that I still sleep with a stuffed animal. Some of them have stopped playing with dolls or plushies because they want to seem more "grown up." But I don't care what they think. Ellie is so much more than just a stuffed toy to me. She's my best friend who has always been there for me through good times and bad. She provides unconditional love, emotional support, and cozy comfort no matter what. As long as I have Ellie by my side, I know I can get through anything life throws my way.I treat Ellie with lots of love and care, just like she loves and takes care of me. If she ever gets a ripped seam or loses some stuffing, my mom skillfully repairs and restuffs her. I make sure to keep Ellie clean by putting her little elephant body in a mesh zippered pillowcase and letting her go for a gentle cycle in the washing machine. Then I let her air dry in a sunny spot. Ellie always comes out smelling fresh and ready for more snuggling. I've tried my best over the years to keep Ellie in good condition, but she's inevitably gone a little bald on her head and feet from being so well-loved.When I'm feeling happy or excited, I like to twirl Ellie around and dance with her to my favorite songs. And when I'm having a bad day, I'll just hold her tight and breathe in her familiar smellthat instantly makes me feel better. Sometimes I even confide my deepest thoughts and secrets in Ellie, knowing she'll never break the bond of trust we share.My little brother used to get jealous that I had such a great bond with my Ellie, so for his last birthday my parents got him his very own stuffed animal friend - a soft, blue puppy dog that he loved instantly. Now he takes his doggy everywhere with him, just like I do with Ellie. Even though we're different ages, it's kinda nice that we have that small connection through our special stuffed pals.As I get older, I know some people might think it's weird that I'm still so attached to a tattered, old stuffed animal. But those people just don't understand howspecial Ellie is. She's been my constant companion through all the ups and downs of my childhood so far. She was there during my first steps, first words, first lost tooth. She was there when I started kindergarten, learned to read, and made my first best friend. She was there when I got that awful flu, when my parents split up, and any other time I needed a non-judgemental friend to get me through. Ellie is truly a part of me and my life story.I'm hoping that even as a teenager and adult, I'll still keep Ellie around. She'll always have a special place on my bed or aspot on my bookshelf, ready for anytime I need her again. Maybe when I have kids of my own someday, I'll be able to pass Ellie along to them so she can become a new generation's most important, most loved friend. Or maybe I'll keep her just for me, as a reminder of my childhood and all the wonderful memories we've made together over the years. No matter what, Ellie the elephant will forever be one of the most important, most special things in my life. She's more than just a stuffed toy - she's a part of my heart.篇2My Favorite Toy CarI have a lot of really cool toys, but my favorite one is my red toy car. It's not just any ordinary toy car though - it's super special to me. I got it as a present for my 6th birthday last year from my grandpa. He's the best grandpa ever!My toy car is made of metal, so it's really sturdy and hard to break. The paint is bright fire engine red and it shines in the sunlight. It has black tires with grooves cut into them for traction. The doors open up and there's a little steering wheel inside. When I push it across the floor, it rolls really smoothly and can go pretty fast if I give it a good push.But what makes this car so awesome isn't just how it looks or how well it rolls. It's the adventures I've had with it! This car has been with me on so many exciting journeys and imaginary road trips. We've driven across deserts, through jungles, over mountains, and into space! Well, not really, but that's what I imagine when I'm playing with it.My grandpa gave me this car because he knows how much I love vehicles of all kinds - cars, trucks, planes, you name it. I'm obsessed! I have posters of different cars all over my bedroom walls. I watch shows about how cars are made. And I have a huge box overflowing with all my other toy cars, trucks, and construction vehicles. But this red car from my grandpa is my prized possession.I take such good care of it too. Every night before I go to bed, I make sure to put it back in the special carrying case my grandpa gave me to keep it safe. It has a soft lining inside so the car doesn't get scratched up. In the mornings when I wake up, it's the first toy I go get out of my room to start playing with.With this car, I can go on amazing make-believe road trips whenever I want. My bed becomes the driver's seat, and my floor turns into a vast network of roads and highways. I grip the steering wheel (which is really just the handle of my nightstand)and put the pedal to the metal! I zoom down suburban streets, dodging garbage cans and stray balls. I race across intersections beating the yellow light just in time. Then it's a cruise down the open highway, waving to other drivers as I pass them.When I need to refuel, I pull into my own personal gas station - it's really just my dresser, but I use my imagination! I top up my tank, munch on some road snacks (my goldfish crackers), maybe grab a road map (the pamphlet from the dentist's office) and then I'm off again on the next leg of my journey.Sometimes, my expeditions take me off the paved roads entirely. I'll drive up and down the treacherous mountains of my rumpled bedsheets. I have to be really careful not to get caught in a rockslide or ice storm! When I make it safely to the other side, it's a tricky course through the dense rainforests of my closet, using my umbrella to swat away vines and undergrowth (actually just hanging clothes and shoestrings). If I get too hot, I'll cool off with a refreshing drive along the beach, which is my bedroom rug.My favorite adventures are the ones that take me into total imagination territory - like outer space! I'll rocket my car up on a launch pad made of shoeboxes and books, then I'm flying through the galaxy at lightspeed. I dodge meteor showers ofbouncy balls and slingshot around planets to go even faster. One time, I landed on Mars and had to navigate the treacherous red sandy dunes of my sandbox! I even found some alien lifeforms - they were just my Lego people, but in my mind they were real live Martians.No matter where I go in my fantasy road trips, whether it's just a quick drive around the block or an epic journey across the cosmos, it's always an exciting time with my trusty toy car by my side. We've had so many amazing adventures together over this past year. I don't know what I'd do without my beloved red car to explore the world with.My grandpa always says "memories last a lifetime," and he's absolutely right. While I'll outgrow a lot of my toys as I get older, the memories I've made using my imagination with this special car will stick with me forever. It's more than just a toy - it's a treasured keepsake that lets my creativity run wild. Grandpa gave me the gift of pretending with this car, and that's the most awesome gift a kid could ask for.So that's why this toy is so wildly important to me. It fuels my imagination like nothing else and takes me on magical journeys every single day. As long as I have my little red car, the adventures will never end! I'm already dreaming up the nextvoyage to embark on. Maybe this time I'll drive down the streets of Tokyo, or through a haunted house, or under the sea in a submarine version of my car. The open road is calling, and my toy car and I are ready to hit the road!篇3Something Really Important to MeThere are a lot of things in this world that are important to me. My family, my friends, my dog Rufus, my favorite video games - they're all really meaningful. But if I had to pick just one thing that's the most important of all, I would choose my books. Books are absolutely essential to me and my life.I know some kids might think that's a weird choice. A lot of my classmates don't seem to care much about books at all. They'd probably pick their bikes or their toys or something like that as their number one important thing. Not me though - for me, it's all about the books.I just love getting lost in a good story. There's something kind of magical about it. When I'm reading an amazing book, it's almost like I get transported right into that fictional world. I can picture every single detail so vividly in my mind. The characters feel like my friends. I'm right there alongside them, going onadventures, facing challenges, experiencing everything they go through. It's like the most incredible movie playing out in my imagination.And the best part is, there are endless stories and worlds to explore between the pages of books. One day I might be joining the Pevensie children in the land of Narnia as they battle the evil White Witch. The next day I could be soaring through the skies with a certain young wizard named Harry Potter as he discovers the wonders of Hogwarts. Or maybe I'll find myself in a dystopian future like the one in The Hunger Games, fighting for survival. Every book opens the door to somewhere new and thrilling.My love of reading started when I was just a tiny kid and my parents would read me bedtime stories. Even before I could actually read myself, I was mesmerized by those stories. I remember begging my mom and dad to read me "just one more" over and over again at night until I finally fell asleep. It's one of my happiest childhood memories - snuggled up in bed, surrounded by my stuffed animals, eagerly listening to the adventures unfold.Once I learned how to read on my own, it was like a whole new universe opened up for me. Suddenly I wasn't limited to justthe books my parents read to me. I could go to the library or bookstore and choose any story I wanted from the millions available. What an empowering, mind-blowing feeling that was! From that point on, you'd pretty much always find me with my nose buried in a book.Over the years, reading has become like an old friend to me - a constant, comforting presence in my life. Whenever I'm stressed out about something at school or just having a rough day in general, I know I can always escape into the pages of a novel. It's like a trusty life preserver whenever I feel like I'm drowning in problems or negative emotions. Within a chapter or two, I've been transported to somewhere happy, where all my worries and troubles seem to melt away.Books have also taught me so many important lessons and allowed me to experience things I never could in real life. I've learned about different time periods in history, different cultures from around the world, different ways of seeing things and looking at life. Reading has helped me become a more understanding, empathetic person. It's enabled me to step into someone else's shoes, see the world through their eyes, and open my mind in ways I never could've imagined.I feel incredibly lucky to have found something that brings me as much joy, comfort, and meaning as books do at such a young age. Some people go their whole lives without ever discovering their true passion like I have with reading. While my friends are out playing video games or watching TV, I'm absolutely content losing myself in the pages of a good book. Honestly, their toys and gadgets just can't compare to the magic and wonder contained in literature!I know that as I keep growing up, my love of books and reading will only continue growing too. The worlds I escape into might become a little more grown up, but the sense of enchantment and enrichment I get from reading will stay the same. Books have given me so much already - friendship, knowledge, solace, excitement, perspective. I can't even imagine how much more they have yet to offer me as I keep turning those pages in the years to come.Some people want to be movie stars or professional athletes when they grow up. Others want to be doctors or scientists. Those might sound like fun jobs, but not me. When I'm older, I want to be an Author. That way, I can use words to craft new worlds and stories and characters like all the talented writers who gave that gift to me. I want to create new literary adventures forother kids and give them the same sense of wonder and magic that reading has brought to my life. If I can do that, if I can affect even just one kid's life in the profound way books have affected mine, then I'll be truly happy. Because in my opinion, being able to share and spread the sheer joy of reading and get others hooked on books is about the most important thing a person can do. Reading really is that special.So yeah, books are my number one, no question about it. To me, there's nothing more valuable, more meaningful, more vital than getting lost in a good story. All that reading has already hugely shaped who I am as a person, and I know it'll keep having a massive influence on my life going forward too. Some kids might choose video games or bikes or toys as their "most important thing" and hey, that's okay - everyone's different. But for me? Well for me, books will always come first. They'll always be my treasured companions, loyal friends, and trusty doorways to other worlds. And I can't wait to see all the incredible places they'll take me next.。

But gone with it,are our indelible years,sweet and sour,worth remembering andunforgettable. Still remember the days when dad,mom and I sit around the table,talking about all kinds of things,about happiness and sorrows,about dream and wishes.Every time I am happy andexcited,there are mom and dad with whom I can share the joy.Every time I am upset and distressed,there are mom and dad who smile at me and fuel me the power to go forward.Every time I achieve my little success,it's them who encourage me and tell me “carry on”.Every time I put my foot wrong,it's them who pull me backand guide me the right way. Still remember the days being crazy with best friend,chasing around on the playground,skipping class to a long waited movie,playing an innocent prank on someone…… the simple,pure and treasuredfriendship started to grow in that infancy heart. Still remember giving the gift to that girl I love.Though don't know what love is and means.It's like magic which attract you and let you forget all the sorrows and sadness.Seeing her smile became thebest time life can't be replaced.

If a person’s life must constituted by various choices, then I grow up along with these choices. Once I hope I can study in a college in future, however that’s passed, as you know I e here, now I wonder what the future holds for me.When I e to this school, I told to myself: this my near future, all starts here. Following I will learn to bee a man, a integrated man, who has a fine body, can take on important task, has independent thought, an open mind, intensive thought, has the ability to judge right and wrong, has a perfect job.Once my teacher said :” you are not sewing, you are stylist;never forget which you should lay out to people is your thought, not craft.” I will put my personality with my interest and ability into my study, during these process I will bine learning with doing. If I can achieve this “future”, I think that I really grow up. And I deeply believe kindred, good-fellowship and love will perfection and happy in the future.成长的过程英语作文篇7When I was a child, I wanted to grow up very much. When we really grow up, when we have a new understanding of growing up, our growth will be full of feelings.After a carefree childhood, with our growth, we ushered in a busy school, ushered in the daily homework. My first feeling of growing up is that I am more and more busy and have no time for myself. I go to school and home every day. In school time, I have to spend every class carefully and finish the task assigned to us by the teacher. When I go home in the evening, I still have new English words in my mind every day on the way. Even when I go home and go to sleep, I still think about what I have learned today, and I am still immersed in my studies. My first feeling of growing up is that Im really getting busy.The second insight of my growth is that I really know a lot. On the way of growing up, all the knowledge that I have learned has come into my mind. These knowledge will often come out when I dont care and solve problems for me. On the way to growth, there must be rewards for giving. The most intuitive rewards are reflected in our academic achievements. When I get a good result after an exam, Im excited. Ill show off in the classroom with my paper. Sometimes, some students take the opportunity to tease me like a joke, I dont care, just immersed in the joy. I want to share the joy of my victory with all of you. I alsowant to prove to my classmates that I am also great!On my way of growing up, I have learned these knowledge, these life principles, these will be the wealth of my future life. Although we have lost a lot of our own free time in our growth, we have also gained a lot. When you feel that you are more and more busy in your studies, you should also understand that our growth should be spent with our sweat, so as to usher in the life in our mind成长的过程英语作文篇8Because of the need to complete social practice homework, teachers don‘t know that one of our tasks is to collect different opinions by interviewing some people on weekends. When I heard this task, I suddenly felt a little flustered, because I never dare to talk to strangers, let alone talk to them so close, but in order to complete this task, I was brave once.I grew up a very shy person, in the process of growing up, I have never talked with strangers, I don’t know how to communicate, in school, I am also an introvert to my classmates, I don‘t say a lot of words, but I sit in my seat and think something quietly. In order to complete this task, I cooperate with my classmates. They help me stop passers-by. Then I try to relax myself and communicate with them. At first, I was a little nervous, but with the encouragement and support of my classmates, I also became less afraid, and soon relaxed a lot and no longer felt afraid. So this task was carried out very quickly, and my introverted character is quietly changing. Now I have overcome my fear and become more powerful. I think this is a growing process and also a growing process Good omen, from the former quiet introvert into a lively and cheerful person, in fact, there is a very big contrast between these two characters, I wouldlike to be a lively and cheerful person.I’m very grateful to my classmates. Without their help, I can‘t do this. So communication in life is also a course. Making friends with strangers is what we should learn in class and school. 成长的过程英语作文篇9When we were children, we often say that I want to grow up, or I want to be an adult. As children, we cannot do many things, while after we grow up, we can. However, we often plain that I don’t want to grow up when we bee adults actually.Firstly, growing up means more responsibilities. We should make a living by ourselves or we should support our parents when they can’t earn enough money to make a living.econdly, after graduation, we need to work instead of acplishing nothing. We should have a target and work for it, so we have pressure on jobs.Every coin has two sides. Grow up can also broaden our horizon, offer us an opportunity to know more about our world, love and protect the important person in our li fe. Don’t be afraid of growing up, just be a better person and enjoy our life. 成长的过程英语作文篇10Not since when, growing pains, in bination with many plaints to let out of me, this topic good kind. Xin qiji once said: "young not sorrow taste". Perhaps his boyhood carefree, along with the continuous development of history, the more trouble, all left us.As I grew up, there are a lot of troubles around me. In school, most of things to talk about with parents, not only because they will talk a long, not I say one word, and my ears also can't stand so many words and so I don't want to let ears with parents that he didn't want to suffer said! However, I want to say, all every day to write in a book, and also is a diary. After writing, let oneselfenjoy myself, to solve their things. Start going well, but I think my parents look very unfortable, I have a few things to deceive the (indeed, some of them are clearly don't want them.That day, I e home from school, after finishing the homework, according to the conventional, get diary, suddenly, I discovered diary was moved, I suddenly fire emit three zhangs, want to know is they. I got out of the bedroom, loudly asked them whether seen my diary? They say that the legitimate instead of all know me, is their obligations.I can't take any more, I just want to own a piece of blue sky, why are you so selfish take it, is want to know me? I returned to the room, feel oneself have nothing, alas! Why parents in total want to know when we grow up, we don't want to let us have his own ideas, alas! So cruel!Our lives are filled with seven colors sunlight, but even in the sunshine, also appears unavoidably short clouds. The young, there will be some lingering worries. These troubles from life, from study, the munication with students from... However, there is worry is not terrible, the key is to correct it. From now on, let us together, eliminate worries, clean with colorful dream maturity. 成长的过程英语作文篇11We all want to grow up happily and healthily, and for this goal we must do several things.Firstly, we should develop a good attitude to life. Life consists of not only sunshine but also hard times. We should be brave in front of difficulties. Secondly, we must study hard because knowledge is power. If we have the power, we can help to build our country and enjoy life better. Lastly, in order to study well, we need to do sports so that we can keep fit. We can go running, play ball games or simply take a walk after a day's study. If we dothose things well, we will be able to grow up happily and healthily. 成长的过程英语作文篇12If someone asked me, are you health recently, I would say that, of course, without thinking! Because, I have a happy mood, I'm healthy every day.I am happy, because god blessing me a healthy body, I havea heart to live. Just think, if you have to face all day infusion, laboratory tests, take medicine, can you healthy and happy? Not to say that life is only once? Who doesn't cherish his own life? Is to maintain the body health. The height of the child, the skin of black and white, looks pretty ugly, that father and mother are mostly to, they can't decide, then on rational diet, moderate exercise.What to eat? Za little people not cherish the delicacies, they eat their own bread, that is called "green", "natural", in those days pigs do not even the red tiaoxi leaf, Swiss chard star-rated hotels on the table? With this heart, you will not complain about his own zha don't born?"After supper walk, live to be ninety-nine." This for all interacting with computers and students like me, very should naturally. For he worked all day long, on the slope in the fields of farmers, is redundant, I'm afraid. Spring, "sentient beings spring of herbaceous peony contain tears, unable to rose lie xiao branch", they are "morningside HuangHui, Dutch hoe to stay month"; Summer night, "Dutch wind send fragrance, bamboo dew chengchi university were also members", they are "open porch ChangPu, SangMa" wine, how nice! Without the encumbrance of the old man in town, a woman day bubble in yangko, male LiuDiao, fishing, and enjoy!成长的过程英语作文篇13I am very healthy, because I have a healthy mentor - perseverance. Whenever I encounter setbacks, on learning encounter obstacles in life, my "perseverance" teachers would always encourage me. With perseverance I was able to extricate from a trivial matter, with perseverance I didn't let you don't feel tired. I often tell myself: god loves me, so I was punished. So I don't lose heart, think of the ancients left hill may be blind, are "mandarin", qu yuan, probably because the exile, CaiFu "li SAO". God is always equal to others, as long as you maintain a healthy mental state, there must be a success story.I am very healthy, because I have a friend of the health - confidence.

成功人士的英文演讲稿（精选13篇）篇1：成功人士的英文演讲稿——马丁·路德·金演讲稿：我已达至峰顶(中英文)马丁·路德·金演讲稿：我已达至峰顶(英文版) I've Been to the MountaintopThank you very kindly, my friends. As I listened to Ralph Abernathy and his eloquent and generous introduction and then thought about myself, I wondered who he was talking about. It's always good to have your closest friend and associate to say something good about you. And Ralph Abernathy is the best friend that I have in the world. I'm delighted to see each of you here tonight in spite of a storm warning. You reveal that you are determined to go on anyhow.Something is happening in Memphis; something is happening in our world. And you know, if I were standing at the beginning of time, with the possibility of taking a kind of general and panoramic view of the whole of human history up to now, and the Almighty said to me, “Martin Luther King, which age would you like to live in?” I would take my mental flight by Egypt and I would watch God's children in their magnificent trek from the dark dungeons of Egypt through, or rather across the Red Sea, through the wilderness on toward the promised land. And in spite of its magnificence, I wouldn't stop there.I would move on by Greece and take my mind to Mount Olympus. And I would see Plato, Aristotle, Socrates, Euripides and Aristophanes assembled around the Parthenon. And I would watch them around the Parthenon as they discussed the great and eternal issues of reality. But I wouldn't stop there.I would go on, even to the great heyday of the Roman Empire. AndI would see developments around there, through various emperors and leaders. But I wouldn't stop there.I would even come up to the day of the Renaissance, and get a quick picture of all that the Renaissance did for the cultural and aesthetic life of man. But I wouldn't stop there.I would even go by the way that the man for whom I am named had his habitat. And I would watch Martin Luther as he tacked his ninety-five theses on the door at the church of Wittenberg. But I wouldn't stop there.I would come on up even to 1863, and watch a vacillating President by the name of Abraham Lincoln finally come to the conclusion that he had to sign the Emancipation Proclamation. But I wouldn't stop there.I would even come up to the early thirties, and see a man grappling with the problems of the bankruptcy of his nation. And come with a n eloquent cry that we have nothing to fear but “fearitself.” But I wouldn't stop there.Strangely enough, I would turn to the Almighty, and say, “If you allow me to live just a few years in the second half of the 20th century, I will be happy.”Now that's a strange statement to make, because the world is all messed up. The nation is sick. Trouble is in the land; confusion all around. That's a strange statement. But I know, somehow, that only when it is dark enough can you see the stars. And I see God working in this period of the twentieth century in a way that men, in some strange way, are responding.Something is happening in our world. The masses of people are rising up. And wherever they are assembled today, whether they are inJohannesburg, South Africa; Nairobi, Kenya; Accra, Ghana; New York City; Atlanta, Georgia; Jackson, Mississippi; or Memphis, Tennessee -- the cry is always the same: “We want to be free.”And another reason that I'm happy to live in this period is that we have been forced to a point where we are going to have to grapple with the problems that men have been trying to grapple with through history, but the demands didn't force them to do it. Survival demands that we grapple with them. Men, for years now, have been talking about war and peace. But now, no longer can they just talk about it. It is no longer a choice between violence and nonviolence in this world; it's nonviolence or nonexistence. That is where we are today. And also in the human rights revolution, if something isn't done, and done in a hurry, to bring the colored peoples of the world out of their long years of poverty, their long years of hurt and neglect, the whole world is doomed. Now, I'm just happy that God has allowed me to live in this period to see what is unfolding. And I'm happythat He's allowed me to be in Memphis.I can remember -- I can remember when Negroes were just going around as Ralph has said, so often, scratching where they didn't itch, and laughing when they were not tickled. But that day is all over. We mean business now, and we are determined to gain ourrightful place in God's world.And that's all this whole thing is about. We aren't engaged in any negative protest and in any negative arguments with anybody. We are saying that we are determined to be men. We are determined to be people. We are saying -- We are saying that we are God's children. And that we are God's children, we don't have to live like we are forced to live.Now, what does all of this mean in this great period of history? It means that we've got to stay together. We've got to stay together and maintain unity. You know, whenever Pharaoh wanted to prolong the period of slavery in Egypt, he had a favorite, favorite formula for doing it. What was that? He kept the slaves fighting among themselves. But whenever the slaves get together, something happens in Pharaoh's court, and he cannot hold the slaves in slavery. When the slaves get together, that's the beginning of getting out of slavery. Now let us maintain unity.Secondly, let us keep the issues where they are. The issue is injustice. The issue is the refusal of Memphis to be fair and honest in its dealings with its public servants, who happen to be sanitation workers. Now, we've got to keep attention on that. That's always the problem with a little violence. You know what happened the other day, and the press dealt only with the window-breaking. I read the articles. They very seldom got around to mentioning the fact that one thousand, three hundred sanitation workers are on strike, and that Memphis is not being fair to them, and that Mayor Loeb is in dire need of a doctor. They didn't get around to that.Now we're going to march again, and we've got to march again, in order to put the issue where it is supposed to be -- and force everybody to see that there are thirteen hundred of God's children here suffering, sometimes going hungry, going through dark and dreary nights wondering how this thing is going to come out. That's the issue. And we've got to say to the nation: We know how it's coming out. For when people get caught up with that which is right and they are willing to sacrifice for it, there is no stopping point short of victory.We aren't going to let any mace stop us. We are masters in our nonviolent movement in disarming police forces; they don't know what to do. I've seen them so often. I remember in Birmingham, Alabama, when we were in that majestic struggle there, we would move out of the 16th Street Baptist Church day after day; by the hundreds we would move out. And Bull Connor would tell them to send the dogs forth, and they did come; but we just went before the dogs singing, “Ain't gonna let nobody turn me around.”Bull Connor next would say, “Turn the fire hoses on.” And as I said to you the other night, Bull Connor didn't know history. He knew a kind of physics that somehow didn't relate to the transphysics that we knew about. And that was the fact that there was a certain kind of fire that no water could put out. And we went before the fire hoses; we had known water. If we were Baptist or some other denominations, we had been immersed. If we were Methodist, and some others, we had been sprinkled, but we knew water. That couldn't stop us.And we just went on before the dogs and we would look at them; and we'd go on before the water hoses and we would look at it, and we'd just go on singing “Over my head I see freedom in the air.” And then we would be thrown in the paddy wagons, and sometimes we were stacked in there like sardines in a can. And they would throw us in, and old Bull would say, “Take 'em off,” and they did; and we would just go in the paddy wagon singing, “We Shall Overcome.” And every now and then we'd get in jail, and we'd see the jailers looking through the windows being moved by our prayers, and being moved by our words and our songs. And there was a power there which Bull Connor couldn't adjust to; and so we ended up transforming Bull into a steer, and we won our struggle in Birmingham. Now we've got to goon in Memphis just like that. I call upon you to be with us when we go out Monday.Now about injunctions: We have an injunction and we're going into court tomorrow morning to fight this illegal, unconstitutional injunction. All we say to A merica is, “Be true to what you said on paper.” If I lived in China or even Russia, or any totalitarian country, maybe I could understand some of these illegal injunctions. Maybe I could understand the denial of certain basic First Amendment privileges, because they hadn't committed themselves to that over there. But somewhere I read of the freedom of assembly. Somewhere I read of the freedom of speech. Somewhere I read of the freedom of press. Somewhere I read that the greatness of America is the right to protest for right. And so just as I say, we aren't going to let dogs or water hoses turn us around, we aren't going to let any injunction turn us around. We are going on.We need all of you. And you know what's beautiful to me is to see all of these ministers of the Gospel. It's a marvelous picture. Whois it that is supposed to articulate the longings and aspirations of the people more than the preacher? Somehow the preacher must have a kind of fire shut up in his bones. And whenever injustice is around he tell it. Somehow the preacher must be an Amos, and saith, “When God speaks who can but prophesy?” Again with Amos, “Let justiceroll down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream.” Somehow the preacher must say with Jesus, “The Spirit of th e Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me,” and he's anointed me to deal with the problems of the poor.“And I want to commend the preachers, under the leadership of these noble men: James Lawson, one who has been in this struggle formany years; he's been to jail for struggling; he's been kicked out of Vanderbilt University for this struggle, but he's still going on, fighting for the rights of his people. Reverend Ralph Jackson, Billy Kiles; I could just go right on down the list, but time will not permit. But I want to thank all of them. And I want you to thank them, because so often, preachers aren't concerned about anything but themselves. And I'm always happy to see a relevant ministry.It's all right to talk about ”long white robes over yonder,“ in all of its symbolism. But ultimately people want some suits and dresses and shoes to wear down here! It's all right to talkabout ”streets flowing with milk and honey,“ but God has commanded us to be concerned about the slums down here, and his children who can't eat three square meals a day. It's all right to talk about the new Jerusalem, but one day, God's preacher must talk about the new New York, the new Atlanta, the new Philadelphia, the new Los Angeles, the new Memphis, Tennessee. This is what we have to do.Now the other thing we'll have to do is this: Always anchor our external direct action with the power of economic withdrawal. Now, we are poor people. Individually, we are poor when you compare us with white society in America. We are poor. Never stop and forget that collectively -- that means all of us together -- collectively we are richer than all the nations in the world, with the exception of nine. Did you ever think about that? After you leave the United States, Soviet Russia, Great Britain, West Germany, France, and I could name the others, the American Negro collectively is richer than most nations of the world. We have an annual income of more than thirty billion dollars a year, which is more than all of the exports of the United States, and more than the national budget of Canada. Did youknow that? That's power right there, if we know how to pool it.We don't have to argue with anybody. We don't have to curse and go around acting bad with our words. We don't need any bricks and bottles. We don't need any Molotov cocktails. We just need to go around to these stores, and to these massive industries in our country, and say, ”God sent us by here, to say to you that you're not treating his children right. And we've come by here to ask you to make the first item on your agenda fair treatment, where God's children are concerned. Now, if you are not prepared to do that, we do have an agenda that we must follow. And our agenda calls for withdrawing economic support from you.“And so, as a result of this, we are asking you tonight, to go out and tell your neighbors not to buy Coca-Cola in Memphis. Go by and tell them not to buy Sealtest milk. Tell them not to buy -- what is the other bread? -- Wonder Bread. And what is the other bread company, Jesse? Tell them not to buy Hart's bread. As Jesse Jackson has said, up to now, only the garbage men have been feeling pain; now we must kind of redistribute the pain. We are choosing these companies because they haven't been fair in their hiring policies; and we are choosing them because they can begin the process of saying they are going to support the needs and the rights of these men who are on strike. And then they can move on town -- downtown and tell Mayor Loeb to do what is right.But not only that, we've got to strengthen black institutions. I call upon you to take your money out of the banks downtown and deposit your money in Tri-State Bank. We want a ”bank-in“ movement in Memphis. Go by the savings and loan association. I'm not asking you something that we don't do ourselves at SCLC. Judge Hooks andothers will tell you that we have an account here in the savings and loan association from the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. We are telling you to follow what we are doing. Put your money there. You have six or seven black insurance companies here in the city of Memphis. Take out your insurance there. We want to havean ”insurance-in.“Now these are some practical things that we can do. We begin the process of building a greater economic base. And at the same time, we are putting pressure where it really hurts. I ask you to follow through here.Now, let me say as I move to my conclusion that we've got to give ourselves to this struggle until the end. Nothing would be moretragic than to stop at this point in Memphis. We've got to see it through. And when we have our march, you need to be there. If it means leaving work, if it means leaving school -- be there. Be concerned about your brother. You may not be on strike. But either we go up together, or we go down together.Let us develop a kind of dangerous unselfishness. One day a man came to Jesus, and he wanted to raise some questions about some vital matters of life. At points he wanted to trick Jesus, and show himthat he knew a little more than Jesus knew and throw him off base.... Now that question could have easily ended up in a philosophical and theological debate. But Jesus immediately pulled that question from mid-air, and placed it on a dangerous curve between Jerusalemand Jericho. And he talked about a certain man, who fell among thieves. You remember that a Levite and a priest passed by on the other side. They didn't stop to help him. And finally a man ofanother race came by. He got down from his beast, decided not to becompassionate by proxy. But he got down with him, administered first aid, and helped the man in need. Jesus ended up saying, this was the good man, this was the great man, because he had the capacity to project the ”I“ into the ”thou,“ and to be concerned about his brother.Now you know, we use our imagination a great deal to try to determine why the priest and the Levite didn't stop. At times we say they were busy going to a church meeting, an ecclesiastical gathering, and they had to get on down to Jerusalem so they wouldn't be late for their meeting. At other times we would speculate that there was a religious law that ”One who was engaged in religious ceremonials was not to touch a human body twenty-four hours beforeth e ceremony.“ And every now and then we begin to wonder whether maybe they were not going down to Jerusalem -- or down to Jericho, rather to organize a ”Jericho Road Improvement Association.“ That's a possibility. Maybe they felt that it was better to deal with the problem from the causal root, rather than to get bogged down with an individual effect.But I'm going to tell you what my imagination tells me. It's possible that those men were afraid. You see, the Jericho road is a dangerous road. I remember when Mrs. King and I were first in Jerusalem. We rented a car and drove from Jerusalem down to Jericho. And as soon as we got on that road, I said to my wife, ”I can see why Jesus used this as the setting for his parable.“ It's a winding, meandering road. It's really conducive for ambushing. You start outin Jerusalem, which is about 1200 miles -- or rather 1200 feet above sea level. And by the time you get down to Jericho, fifteen or twenty minutes later, you're about 2200 feet below sea level. That's adangerous road. In the days of Jesus it came to be known asthe ”Bloody Pass.“ And you know, it's possible that the priest and the Levite looked over that man on the ground and wondered if the robbers were still around. Or it's possible that they felt that the man on the ground was merely faking. And he was acting like he had been robbed and hurt, in order to seize them over there, lure them there for quick and easy seizure. And so the first question that the priest asked -- the first question that the Levi te asked was, ”If I stop to help this man, what will happen to me?“ But then the Good Samaritan came by. And he reversed the question: ”If I do not stop to help this man, what will happen to him?“That's the question before you tonight. Not, ”If I sto p to help the sanitation workers, what will happen to my job. Not, “If I stop to help the sanitation workers what will happen to all of the hours that I usually spend in my office every day and every week as a pastor?” The question is not, “If I stop to he lp this man in need, what will happen to me?” The question is, “If I do not stop to help the sanitation workers, what will happen to them?” That's the question.Let us rise up tonight with a greater readiness. Let us stand with a greater determination. And let us move on in these powerful days, these days of challenge to make America what it ought to be. We have an opportunity to make America a better nation. And I want to thank God, once more, for allowing me to be here with you.You know, several years ago, I was in New York City autographing the first book that I had written. And while sitting there autographing books, a demented black woman came up. The only question I heard from her was, “Are you Martin Luther King?” And I waslooking down wri ting, and I said, “Yes.” And the next minute I felt something beating on my chest. Before I knew it I had been stabbed by this demented woman. I was rushed to Harlem Hospital. It was a dark Saturday afternoon. And that blade had gone through, and the X-rays revealed that the tip of the blade was on the edge of my aorta, the main artery. And once that's punctured, your drowned in your own blood -- that's the end of you.It came out in the New York Times the next morning, that if I had merely sneezed, I would have died. Well, about four days later, they allowed me, after the operation, after my chest had been opened, and the blade had been taken out, to move around in the wheel chair in the hospital. They allowed me to read some of the mail that came in, and from all over the states and the world, kind letters came in. I read a few, but one of them I will never forget. I had received one from the President and the Vice-President. I've forgotten what those telegrams said. I'd received a visit and a letter from the Governor of New York, but I've forgotten what that letter said. But there was another letter that came from a little girl, a young girl who was a student at the White Plains High School. And I looked at that letter, and I'll never forget it. It said simply,Dear Dr. King,I am a ninth-grade student at the White Plains High School.“And she said,While it should not matter, I would like to mention that I'm a white girl. I read in the paper of your misfortune, and of your suffering. And I read that if you had sneezed, you would have died. And I'm simply writing you to say that I'm so happy that you didn't sneeze.And I want to say tonight -- I want to say tonight that I too am happy that I didn't sneeze. Because if I had sneezed, I wouldn't have been around here in 1960, when students all over the South started sitting-in at lunch counters. And I knew that as they were sitting in, they were really standing up for the best in the American dream, and taking the whole nation back to those great wells of democracy which were dug deep by the Founding Fathers in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.If I had sneezed, I wouldn't have been around here in 1961, when we decided to take a ride for freedom and ended segregation in inter-state travel.If I had sneezed, I wouldn't have been around here in 1962, when Negroes in Albany, Georgia, decided to straighten their backs up. And whenever men and women straighten their backs up, they are going somewhere, because a man can't ride your back unless it is bent.If I had sneezed -- If I had sneezed I wouldn't have been here in 1963, when the black people of Birmingham, Alabama, aroused the conscience of this nation, and brought into being the Civil Rights Bill.If I had sneezed, I wouldn't have had a chance later that year,in August, to try to tell America about a dream that I had had.If I had sneezed, I wouldn't have been down in Selma, Alabama, to see the great Movement there.If I had sneezed, I wouldn't have been in Memphis to see a community rally around those brothers and sisters who are suffering. I'm so happy that I didn't sneeze.And they were telling me --. Now, it doesn't matter, now. It really doesn't matter what happens now. I left Atlanta this morning,and as we got started on the plane, there were six of us. The pilot said over the public address system, ”We are sorry for the delay, but we have Dr. Martin Luther King on the plane. And to be sure that all of the bags were checked, and to be sure that nothing would be wrong with on the plane, we had to check out everything carefully. And we've had the plane protected and guarded all night.“And then I got into Memphis. And some began to say the threats, or talk about the threats that were out. What would happen to me from some of our sick white brothers?Well, I don't know what will happen now. We've got some difficult days ahead. But it really doesn't matter with me now, because I've been to the mountaintop.And I don't mind.Like anybody, I would like to live a long life. Longevity has its place. But I'm not concerned about that now. I just want to do God's will. And He's allowed me to go up to the mountain. And I've looked over. And I've seen the Promised Land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people, will get to the promised land!mlkmountaintop3.JPGAnd so I'm happy, tonight.I'm not worried about anything.I'm not fearing any man!Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord!!马丁·路德·金演讲稿：我已达至峰顶(中文版部分翻译)但是我要告诉你们我的想象力给我的启示。

英语作文青少年和成年人之间的不同之处
英语作文青少年和成年人之间的不同之处全文共3篇示例，供读者参考篇1Grown-ups and Teenagers - What's the Big Difference?I'm just a kid, but I've noticed there are some pretty big differences between teenagers and grown-up adults. It's kind of crazy if you think about it! Here are some of the biggest things I've seen:For starters, their interests are totally different. Teenagers are really into things like video games, social media, music, fashion, and just hanging out with friends. Adults seem to care more about work, paying bills, cleaning the house, and other boring responsibilities. Don't get me wrong, some adults like fun stuff too. But a lot of them act like they've forgotten how to really enjoy life!Then there's their behavior and attitudes. Teenagers can be moody, angsty, and rebellious at times. We question rules and authority a lot. Adults are usually more serious, patient, and calm. Of course, there are grumpy adults and polite teens too. But ingeneral, adults have this excessive obsession with being "mature" while teens embrace being young and carefree.Another difference is their sense of style. Teenagers follow the latest fashion trends to fit in. We wear ripped jeans, crop tops, snapbacks, stuff like that. Adults mostly dress for comfort or to look professional. They wouldn't be caught dead in a lot of teenage clothing! Though I have seen some adults trying way too hard to look young and hip. It's kind of sad.Teenagers and adults also communicate differently. We use a ton of slang words and abbreviations like "lit," "slay," "yas," "bruh," "lmao," etc. Adults use more proper language and get confused by all our teenage lingo. Texting is also different - adults still use full sentences while teens have basically transformed texting into a new form of shorthand.Then there are the generational differences in hobbies andpass-times. Teenagers obsess over video games, social media, YouTube, Netflix, and that kind of thing. A lot of adults seem to prefer more traditional hobbies like reading books, gardening, doing crossword puzzles, and watching broadcast TV. Not that some adults don't enjoy video games too. But in general, the hobbies reflect the generation gap.Speaking of generations, there's also a big technology gap between teens and adults. We teenagers were basically born with phones and tablets in our hands. We understand all the latest apps, games, and gadgets instantly. But many adults struggle with new technology and constantly need their kids to explain things or fix their devices. It's hilarious sometimes!Of course, the biggest difference is just the life experience. Teenagers are still figuring everything out - our identities, our interests, our values, and our paths in life. We make lots of mistakes as we learn and mature. Adults have (hopefully) gotten most of that youthful confusion behind them. They've settled into careers, had families, bought homes, and found their places in the world. Grown-ups are supposed to have their lives together (though I know plenty of adults who still act like overgrown teenagers!).So while teenagers and adults live in the same world, we're like two separate societies! We have our own styles, lingos, obsessions, and attitudes about life. I can't wait to reach adulthood and gain more maturity and wisdom. But part of me hopes I never fully lose that youthful spirit of being a teen. Those really are two very different phases of life!篇2The Big Differences Between Teenagers and AdultsHi there! I'm just a kid, but I've noticed some really big differences between teenagers and adults. Adults are so different from us kids and teenagers in a lot of ways. Let me tell you about some of the biggest differences I've seen.One of the biggest differences is in how they act and behave. Teenagers always want to look cool and have fun. We care a lot about what our friends think and we don't want to do anything that might seem uncool or embarrassing. But adults don't really care as much about looking cool. They just want to get things done without worrying if it's embarrassing or not. My dad is always doing super embarrassing dad dances and jokes, and he doesn't even seem to care that it's embarrassing!Another really big difference is in their interests and what they think is fun. Teenagers love playing video games, listening to music, watching movies and shows, and just hanging out with friends. We can spend hours just chilling and doing basically nothing. But adults are usually more interested in things like work, paying bills, cleaning, cooking, and other boring responsibilities. Can you imagine an adult wanting to spend hours just sitting around playing games? No way!The way teenagers and adults talk is really different too. Teenagers are always using slang words that adults don't understand. We shorten words, make up new ones, and kind of have our own language. But adults use much more proper language and big fancy words that sometimes I don't even know what they mean. It's like we're speaking different languages!There are also differences in the ways our brains work. Teenagers tend to be more impulsive and make rash decisions without thinking them through. We also have a harder time controlling our emotions - we can go from feeling awesome to super angry or sad really fast. But adults tend to be calmer, more rational, and better at controlling their emotions and making careful decisions. Though some adults can definitely still act impulsive sometimes too!Our priorities and responsibilities are totally different as well. For teenagers, our biggest responsibilities are doing well in school, listening to our parents, and doing our chores orpart-time job. We don't have to worry about big adult things like paying the mortgage, putting food on the table, or going to a job every day. Adults have to deal with all of those huge responsibilities that I can't even imagine having to handle at my age.And then there are just the physical differences between teenagers and adults. Teenagers are still growing and going through lots of changes with puberty and our bodies developing. Everything is still rapidly changing for us. But adults are fully grown and developed - their bodies have stopped changing so much. Adults also tend to have less energy than hyper, active teenagers. I run circles around my parents trying to keep up with my energy levels!So those are some of the biggest differences I've noticed between teenagers and adults. Our behaviors, interests, language, brains, priorities, responsibilities, and even our bodies are completely different! I don't know how anyone can mix us up. We're like two totally different species sometimes. Adults are from another planet as far as I'm concerned!But as different as we are, I know that someday I'll grow up and become an adult too. I'll probably start caring more about work than video games. I'll have to take on way more responsibilities. And I'll look back and cringe at some of the slang I use as a teenager. For now though, I'm perfectly happy being a kid. Being an adult seems way too boring and hard to me at this age. I'll stay a carefree teenager for as long as I can!篇3Teenagers and Adults - Not the Same at All!Have you ever wondered what the big deal is about being a teenager? Why do grown-ups always talk about the "terrible teens" and act like it's some big scary thing? Well, as a kid who knows a lot of teenagers, I can tell you - they are definitely not the same as adults!The first big difference is how they look. Teenagers are weird looking - they are all gangly with arms and legs sticking out everywhere. Their faces get kind of spotty too with pimples and stuff. And the girls start wearing way too much makeup trying to look older. Adults tend to look more normal and put together. Although, some adults do try a little too hard with plastic surgery and weird hair dyes!But the biggest difference between teens and adults is how they act. Teenagers are just so moody and emotional about everything! One minute they are laughing hysterically, the next crying over something small. Their feelings get hurt so easily too. Like if you make a silly joke, they take it as a personal insult against them. Adults are generally more chill and don't cry as much over little things.Teenagers also seem to have no common sense or ability to think about consequences. They do crazy, reckless thingswithout a second thought. Like sneaking out at night, talking back to teachers, or making terrible decisions about boyfriends/girlfriends. Then they are shocked when they get grounded or get in trouble! Adults, on the other hand, are way more responsible and cautious. Well, most of the time at least.Another hilarious difference is teens and their obsession with social media, video games, YouTube, etc. They cannot go two seconds without checking their phones or playing online games. It's like they are addicted! Adults use technology too of course, but they aren't as glued to it 24/7. Probably because they have real jobs and stuff to do instead.Speaking of jobs, that's one area where adults definitely have it harder than teens. Can you imagine having to get up at 6am, fight traffic, and work 8 hours a day? No thanks! I feel bad for my parents having to do that every day. Teenagers get to sleep in, goof off after school, and spend summer break being lazy. I guess being a professional adult worker probably pays better though.So while being an adult seems like a lot of hard work and responsibility, I wouldn't trade being a kid for the world. Sure, teenagers get more freedoms and can start doing older things. But they also have to deal with so much more stress and dramain their lives. Their bickering fights are insane - one minute two teens are besties, the next total enemies for life over something dumb. As a kid, my biggest worries are getting good grades, helping around the house, and having fun with friends. No thanks to the tantrums, hormones, and constant angst that comes with the teenage years!I feel kind of bad for teenagers actually. It's like thisin-between stage where you aren't a kid anymore, but you're also not quite an adult yet. So teens get the worst of both worlds - still getting bossed around by parents, teachers, etc. but also dealing with way more intense emotions, social pressure, and life decisions. If you ask me, that terrible teenage time can't be over fast enough!Of course, teens probably feel just as confused about adults and their weird ways. We must seem hopelessly unhip and out of touch to them. Like when we mercilessly tease them about their funny lingo, crazy fashion trends, or obsession with social media. Or when we completely embarrass them by trying too hard to be "cool" in front of their friends. Oops, sorry teens...we'll leave being cool to you guys!At the end of the day though, teenagers and adults do have some key things in common - we all want to be happy, loved,and feel like we belong. We might just show it in totally different, bizarre ways sometimes. So as much as teens might drive me nuts, I'll try to be a little more patient and understanding. After all, they are just insecure kids desperately trying to figure out this crazy world...just like the rest of us!。
每个人的成长都不可能一帆风顺的英语作文
每个人的成长都不可能一帆风顺的英语作文全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1Nobody's Life is a Smooth Sailing JourneyHi there! My name is Jamie and I'm 10 years old. I've learned a very important life lesson that I want to share with you all. It's something that took me a while to understand, but now I really get it. The lesson is that nobody's life is a smooth sailing journey all the time. There are always some bumps and roadblocks that get in the way.I used to think that people who are successful must have had everything easy for them. I imagined that smart kids who get good grades never struggled in school. Or that rich, famous people were just lucky and never had any problems. But that's totally not true at all! The more I learn, the more I realize that everyone faces challenges as they grow up. Even straight-A students or celebrities have a hard time sometimes.Let me give you some examples from my own life first. When I was 7 years old, my parents got divorced. That was a really difficult thing for me and my little brother to go through. We hadto move houses and switch schools. We didn't get to see our dad as much anymore. There was a lot of sadness, anger, and confusion during that time. It felt like my comfortable life had been turned upside down.Another hard thing I went through was when I failed my times tables test in 3rd grade math. I had studied really hard, but I just couldn't memorize all those multiplication facts. I was devastated and embarrassed when I had to get extra help. For a while, I started believing that I was just bad at math and would never be good at it. But my mom and teacher helped me realize that struggling doesn't mean you're dumb, it just means you need to practice more. With hard work, I finally got those times tables down!Those are a couple examples of obstacles I faced while growing up so far. And I know there will be plenty more challenges headed my way as I get older. Maybe I'll go through a bitter fight with a friend some day. Maybe I'll totally bomb an important test or audition for something. Maybe my dream career path won't work out how I want. Whatever it is, I'm realizing that everybody goes through tough stuff as they grow and change.In fact, the more I learn about other people's lives, the more examples of challenges I see:My friend Sarah's parents are getting deported back to Mexico because they don't have the right paperwork, so her family is going through a really hard situation.My uncle Jim lost his job last year and they had to move in with my grandparents for a while until he could find a new job.My piano teacher Mrs. Thompson went through cancer treatment a few years ago. She's better now but that must have been incredibly difficult for her.Even famous people like singers or athletes have faced major obstacles too. I read that the basketball player Michael Jordan got cut from his high school team at first because he wasn't tall enough. But he didn't give up.My teacher Mr. Franks said his dream was to become a pro baseball player, but he hurt his shoulder really badly and couldn't pursue that dream anymore. Instead he went to college to become a teacher.The list goes on and on. Every person has their own struggles and roadblocks in their journey of life and growth. For some it's health problems, for others it's money troubles orfamily issues. Some face discrimination or have learning disabilities they need to work around. Others have dreams that don't work out quite like they planned.But you know what's really amazing? People can overcome those challenges and climb over the roadblocks, even if it takes a long time. My family was sad after the divorce, but we figured out how to adjust to the new normal. I worked hard and eventually got better at math. The people who inspired me most are the ones who didn't let their struggles stop them. Like Michael Jordan overcoming being cut from the team by practicing harder than anyone else. Or like my teacher Mr. Franks who found a whole new career that he loves, even though it wasn't his first dream.The point is, everybody faces obstacles and setbacks as they grow up. Things don't always go perfectly smoothly. But that's no reason to give up! The roadblocks and struggles are what make people stronger and braver in the end. Whenever I face a new challenge now, I remind myself that it's all just part of the journey of growing up. I can't expect everything to be easy all the time. But if I persevere and keep trying, I'll make it to where I want to go, just like everybody else does. Maybe it won't be a perfectly smooth ride, but that's OK! Those twists and turns inthe road just make the journey more exciting and rewarding when you finally reach your goal.So to all my friends out there, remember: Nobody's life is a smooth sailing journey without any speed bumps or roadblocks along the way. Growing up and becoming who you want to be is hard work! There will be obstacles for all of us. But don't let that stop you. When you face struggles, use them as opportunities to grow stronger and braver. With perseverance, you can overcome any hurdles in your path. And in the end, you'll appreciate your journey even more because it wasn't all easy and straightforward. Stay hopeful, work hard, and you'll get to where you want to go! That's what growing up is all about.篇2Nobody Has A Perfect LifeHi, my name is Jamie and I'm 10 years old. Today I want to tell you about how nobody's life is perfect and everyone goes through hard times as they grow up. Adults probably don't want to admit this, but it's true!When you're a little kid, you might think that everything is easy for grown-ups. They're so big and strong and smart. Itseems like they have all the answers and never have any problems. But that's just not true at all!My parents argue sometimes over money or chores or other stuff. I can hear them from my room. My dad lost his job last year and that was really hard on our family. We had to cut way back on spending and do without a lot of things for a while. My mom had to pick up extra shifts at the hospital where she works.Even before that though, I remember times when they seemed sad or stressed about adult things I didn't totally understand as a kid. Parents worry about so much - paying bills, saving for college, making sure your family is safe and healthy. It's a lot of pressure and responsibility.My older brother Jack went through a tough time in middle school. He got bullied a lot for having braces and glasses. He used to come home crying sometimes. It was so sad. Jack stopped wanting to go to school and closed himself off from friends and family. My parents took him to a counselor to talk about his feelings. It took a long time, but eventually he came out of his shell again.I'm sure my little sister Emily will face difficulties as she grows up too. She has a hard time with reading and writing compared to other kids her age. I see her get frustrated withhomework a lot. Learning doesn't come easy for everyone. She might need tutors or special help at school. There could be kids who tease her about it too, which isn't fair at all. Hopefully she'll build confidence in herself.My friends all go through tough stuff in their lives as well. Michael's parents got divorced last year. That's always hard when families break up. He was really sad and angry about it for a long time. Having your family change so much is super difficult, even if both parents still love you.Lily struggled with being overweight when we were younger. Kids called her hurtful names about her body. She started putting herself down a lot and had low self-esteem. With time and healthier habits though, she feels better about herself now. Still, being bullied for your appearance can really shape how you see yourself.Jamal missed a whole year of school for cancer treatments a couple of years ago. He was so weak and sick from the chemo. Having a serious illness as a kid is just brutally unfair. Thankfully he beat the cancer, but he fell behind and had to work twice as hard to catch up once he returned to school.The point is, nobody gets to coast through life without facing difficulties big and small. Grown-ups like to pretend theyhave it all figured out, but they don't. Even successful adults had to overcome major obstacles to get where they are today.Maybe your parents worked low-paying jobs and went into debt to put themselves through school. Or they struggled to find their career path after trying out several different jobs they didn't like. Perhaps they went through health issues, or had to take time off work to care for an aging relative. Grown-ups face stress in their relationships too - my aunt is going through an ugly divorce right now.So if you're having a hard time in your life right now, you're not alone. Every person faces setbacks and growing pains. You shouldn't be ashamed or embarassed if you're dealing with tough situations. It happens to everybody at different points in their lives.The key is to be resilient. Don't give up or feel sorry for yourself. Ask for help from family, friends, teachers or counselors when you're struggling. Have faith that this challenge is temporary and things will get better if you just keep pushing forward.Nobody said life was going to be easy, but that's what makes achieving your goals and dreams so rewarding in the end. You'll feel so proud of yourself for persevering through adversity.Those struggles will make you so much stronger, wiser and more compassionate towards others.I'm still just a 10-year-old kid, so what do I know? But I've already been through some tough stuff and seen my loved ones go through way more. I'm sure there are more obstacles and growing pains ahead as I get older. That's just life though - a constant cycle of facing challenges, overcoming them, and leveling up as a human being.At least by starting to understand this from a young age, I'll be better prepared to handle those difficulties with resilience when they come my way. I hope you can be resilient too. Never forget, you've got this! Every person goes through hard times, but every person is also capable of amazing growth.篇3Everyone's growth journey is never smooth sailing. We all face challenges and obstacles along the way, but it's how we deal with them that shapes us into the person we become.Life is like a rollercoaster ride, full of ups and downs, twists and turns. Sometimes, we're soaring high, feeling on top of the world, and other times, we're plunging down, feeling likeeverything is crashing around us. But that's what makes the ride exciting and worthwhile!Imagine you're trying to learn a new skill, like riding a bike or playing a musical instrument. At first, it seems impossible. You fall down, make mistakes, and feel like giving up. But if you keep trying, practicing, and never lose hope, one day, you'll master it! The sense of accomplishment you'll feel will be so rewarding, and you'll be proud of yourself for not giving up.Or think about a time when you had a big fight with your best friend. It felt like the end of the world, and you thought your friendship was over. But if you take the time to listen to each other, understand each other's perspectives, and apologize sincerely, you can mend your friendship and become even closer than before.Growing up is all about facing challenges and learning from them. It's about trying new things, making mistakes, and picking yourself up again. It's about developing resilience, perseverance, and a positive attitude towards life's obstacles.Remember, every challenge you overcome makes you stronger and wiser. Every mistake you make is an opportunity to learn and grow. And every time you pick yourself up and keepgoing, you're one step closer to becoming the best version of yourself.So, embrace the ups and downs of life's journey. Celebrate your victories, big and small, and don't be discouraged by setbacks. They're just temporary obstacles on the path to your greatness. Keep your head held high, your spirit strong, and your determination unwavering.Remember, the journey may not be smooth sailing, but that's what makes it exciting and rewarding. Embrace the challenges, learn from them, and never stop growing!篇4Everyone's Journey Has Bumps in the RoadHey there! My name is Jamie and I'm 10 years old. Today I want to talk to you about how growing up isn't always easy. It can be really hard sometimes, with lots of challenges and struggles along the way. But that's okay - it's all part of the amazing adventure called life!When I was just a little kid, everything seemed so simple. I'd wake up, play with my toys, take a nap, eat snacks, and have funall day. My biggest worries were things like if I'd get the red crayon or the blue one when it was coloring time. Life was good!But then I started getting older and going to school. Suddenly, there were all these new rules to follow and things to learn. Writing was really tough at first - I could never remember which letters faced which way. Reading was no walk in the park either. I'd get frustrated trying to sound out all those funny letter combinations.Math was maybe the most confusing of all. I just couldn't wrap my little brain around all those numbers and symbols. Why did I need to know about addition and subtraction anyway? I was never going to use that stuff in the real world!As I got to the higher grades, the challenges kept on coming. Bigger workloads, tougher tests, higher expectations from my teachers and parents. Some kids made fun of me because I was a slow reader or not that athletic. A few of my best friends even moved away to new schools.There were lots of times I felt overwhelmed and wanted to just give up. Learning was hard. Changing was hard. Growing up was HARD! I missed those carefree days of just playing and having zero responsibilities.But you know what? Even when things got really tough, I never stopped trying my best. With encouragement from my family and by working extra hard, I pushed through all the difficult stuff step-by-step. Slowly but surely, I improved at reading, writing, math, you name it.These days, I'm getting pretty decent grades and finally feeling like I'm getting the hang of this whole schoolthing.Ythough I'm still a work in progress in many ways.That's sort of how life is for all of us though, isn't it? We're all works in progress, learning and growing every single day. There will always be new challenges waiting around the corner to test our courage and determination.Some hurdles might be academics or skills we're trying to get better at, like I've faced. For others, it could be illnesses, losing loved ones, moving cities, or other life changes that aren't easy. Maybe you'll struggle to make new friends, get bullied, or have periods of feeling really insecure about yourself.The path won't always be smooth, that's for sure. There will be plenty of bumps, twists, and uphill climbs on this amazing journey of growing up. Times when you'll feel frustrated, defeated, and like you just can't go on.But if you never give up and keep persevering through the tough stuff, that's when the magic happens. You'll be amazed at how strong you really are, no matter what obstacles come your way. With patience, hard work, and a positive attitude, you can overcome absolutely anything!Just look at all the incredible people who've changed the world. Can you imagine if Michael Jordan quit basketball the first time he missed a free throw? Or if Sir Isaac Newton stopped studying science just because an apple fell on his head and it really hurt? Yeah, me neither!The greatest leaders, inventors, athletes, artists, and difference-makers in history all had to struggle through tons of failures and setbacks before reaching their biggest dreams. Their lives weren't perfect straight paths to success - there were a ton of bumps and roadblocks along the way that they had to overcome.So if you're facing a really hard situation or challenge right now, don't feel bad or get down on yourself. That's just part of the deal we all signed up for when we joined this crazy篇5Growing Up Isn't Always EasyHi there! My name is Jamie and I'm 10 years old. I love playing soccer, reading comics, and hanging out with my friends. Today I want to talk to you about something kind of serious - how growing up isn't always easy or fun.I'm sure a lot of grown-ups look back on being a kid and think it was all just playing and having a good time. But the truth is, even for kids, life can be really hard sometimes. There are a lot of challenges we have to face as we grow up and become teenagers and adults. Let me tell you about some of the tough stuff I've gone through already in my young life.One of the biggest problems I've had is dealing with bullies at school. You'd think in elementary school everyone would just try to be nice and have fun. But there are always a few mean kids who like to pick on others. I got bullied a lot when I was in 3rd grade by this kid named Kevin. He would call me names, knock my books out of my hands, and never let me hang out with his group of friends. It made me really sad and scared to go to school. My self-confidence was super low back then.With the help of my parents, teachers, and some good friends, I was eventually able to stand up to Kevin and get him to leave me alone. But those kinds of experiences really stick with you. Even now in 5th grade, I still get nervous around certain kidssometimes, afraid they might start bullying me too. Growing up means having to deal with mean people and nasty situations that can really get you down.Another big challenge for me has been dealing with my parents' divorce. When I was 8 years old, my mom and dad decided to separate and get divorced. At first, I thought it was my fault - that I had done something wrong to make them split up. My dad reassured me over and over that it wasn't my fault at all. But it was still really hard.For a while, I felt sad all the time. I missed having my mom and dad together in the same house. I worried about having to switch between two homes and wondered if they would still love me the same after the divorce. There was a lot of grown-up stuff going on that I didn't fully understand as a kid. Thankfully, my parents have remained friends and make sure I get plenty of time with both of them. But divorce is really tough, even if your parents say they still love you.Another big part of growing up is your body starting to change as you go through puberty and become a teenager. This hasn't really happened to me yet, but I've seen some of my friends starting to grow taller, develop acne, and go through other awkward body changes. From what I've heard from myolder cousins, it can be a really uncomfortable time - getting hair in new places, dealing with raging hormones, feeling superself-conscious about your body. Yuck! Not really looking forward to that part of growing up to be honest.So as you can see, even though I'm still just a kid, my life hasn't exactly been a total cakewalk so far. I've had to deal with some heavy emotional stuff - getting bullied, my parents' divorce, and I'll soon be facing the joys of puberty (note the sarcasm there). The road of growing up is a windy one with lots of bumps and potholes along the way. It's not just years of fun, playing, and having no worries.But you know what? As tough as some of those challenges have been, I've learned that it's all part of the process of turning into a strong, resilient adult. Sure, there have been plenty of sad and stressful times that made me wish I could stay a little kid forever. But overcoming difficult situations is what helps you build character and become a good person. If everything was easy all the time, you'd never learn important lessons about perseverance, courage, and believing in yourself.My parents are always telling me that getting through hard phases is what helps you grow and mature. They remind me that one day I'll be a grown-up too. And while parts of being an adultseem pretty boring to me now (sorry adults!), I know they had to overcome a lot to get where they are. Everyone faces their own struggles while growing up - that's just part of life's journey.So for all you kids and teenagers out there - yes, growing up can be tough at times. You'll face mean people, scary situations, awkward body changes, and lots of emotional ups and downs. There will be days you want to quit and days you wish you could go back to being a baby with no cares in the world. But don't let the hard stuff get you down too much. With effort, you'll get through it all. And when you finally do become an adult, you'll be able to look back with pride at all the challenges you overcame along the way.That doesn't mean the struggles stop once you're grown-up of course. My parents and other adults I know are always dealing with their own tough situations and problems too. Growing up is a lifetime process that never ends. But isn't that kind of exciting? As long as you're living life, you'll always have new challenges to face and obstacles to overcome. That builds character, wisdom and strength.So keep working hard, keep believing in yourself, and don't let any setbacks stop you from growing up into the amazing person you're meant to be. Growing up is messy and imperfectfor everyone, but that's what makes the journey so wonderful. Nothing amazing ever happens on a straight, smooth path anyway - it's all the twists and turns that make life an adventure! Thanks for reading my essay, friends. Here's to embracing life's ups and downs together as we grow!篇6Nobody Has It Easy: Why Growing Up Isn't a BreezeHey guys! Today I want to talk to you about something really important - the fact that nobody has it easy when they're growing up. I know, I know, you're probably thinking "But Sally's life seems perfect!" or "Johnny is so smart and good at sports, it must be a breeze for him." But trust me, even if it looks that way on the outside, everybody struggles as they grow up. Let me explain...First off, our bodies are going through all kinds of crazy changes as we get older. One day you wake up and your voice sounds different, or you've got hair growing in weird new places. It's like being an alien taking over your own body! And don't even get me started on periods for girls or voice cracks for guys. So awkward! Our moods are all over the place too with surging hormones. You might be bouncing off the walls with energy oneminute, then a crying mess on the floor the next. It's a total rollercoaster!On top of all the body craziness, we're also facing new academic challenges. Suddenly math has letters in it, books get super long and boring, and teachers just keep piling on more and more homework. Ways to make friends get more complicated too as everyone starts caring about clothes, music, and gossiping about who likes who. Ugh, give me a break!Speaking of friends, bullying gets so much worse as we get older. People can be so mean and judgy, making fun of you for the way you look, act, or dress. Rumor spreading, social media bullying, being excluded - it's a nightmare! No wonder so many kids feel insecure, lonely, and down on themselves. Even the popular kids get bullied behind their backs. Doesn't matter who you are, people can be jerks.Homelife isn't a walk in the park either as families go through tough stuff - parents divorcing, money problems, having to move houses or schools, relatives getting sick or dying. Not cool, right? We have to deal with our parents nagging us constantly about chores, homework, going outside instead of being online all day. They just don't understand! And good luck if you have crazy siblings always bothering you.Oh, and let's not forget about all the mistakes we make as we try to figure out who we are and what we believe in. We might get fired from a first job for slacking off, fail a driving test, break rules to try to act cool and get in big trouble, break someone's heart by being a bad friend/boyfriend/girlfriend, or head down the wrong path with drinking, smoking, or worse. Everyone messes up and has regrets as they navigated the challenging road of adolescence.The point is, nobody gets a free pass during the growing up process - it's just plain hard! Our bodies are changing, our brains are developing, we're figuring out who we are, dealing with complicated social situations, battling insecurities and self-doubt, and facing new levels of freedom and responsibility. No matter how perfect somebody's life may seem, they're going through it too, trust me.The key is being patient with yourself, surrounding yourself with good people who love you, not being afraid to ask for help, and bouncing back after you stumble. It's all part of the journey! Just because the road gets rocky doesn't mean you're failing or that you won't make it to your destination.Every amazing adult you know - your parents, teachers, cool older cousin, or famous people you admire - they ALL wentthrough these types of growing pains and still made it through. Some days were definitely easier than others, but they kept chugging along because that's just what you have to do. There's no way to bypass all the challenges and messiness of growing up, as much as we might want to.So next time you think someone just breezes through life without a care in the world, think again! Deep down, they're going through their own private struggles, doubts, and awkward phases like the rest of us. Growing up is one of the hardest things any person has to do, but taking it one step at a time and believing in yourself is how we all make it out on the other side, ready to conquer the world. Just a few more years, guys, we got this!。
现在生活和以前生活的对比英语作文
现在生活和以前生活的对比英语作文全文共5篇示例，供读者参考篇1Life Now and Life Before: A Big Difference!Hi there! My name is Jamie and I'm going to tell you about how life today is so different from how it used to be a long time ago. There are a lot of new inventions and technologies that make our lives much easier now compared to the old days. It's really amazing how much things have changed!Let's start by talking about something almost every kid loves - video games! Nowadays, we have these incredible video games with awesome graphics that look just like real life. The characters and worlds seem so lifelike. And the games are super fun and exciting to play! But way back before there were video games, kids just had to use their imaginations to make up games and adventures. They would run around outside pretending to be knights or explorers or whatever they could dream up. I'm glad I was born in this era because I really love playing my Nintendo Switch!Another big difference is how we communicate and get information. These days, we have smartphones and the internet to help us do all sorts of things. If I need to look something up for my homework, I can just google it instantly. If I want to chat with my friends, I can text or video call them. My parents even have an app to see where I am and make sure I'm safe when I'm out playing. But many years ago, there was no internet and no smartphones. If you needed to look something up, you had to go to the library and try to find it in the heavy old books and encyclopedias there. And if you wanted to talk to a friend who lived far away, you had to actually write them a letter and mail it - can you imagine how long that took? Getting information and communicating must have been so much harder back then.Transportation is another area where life is super different now compared to long ago. Today, we have cars that can drive themselves, high-speed bullet trains, and even rockets that can take people into outer space! But way back in the 1700s and 1800s, most people just had to walk everywhere they needed to go. Or if they were lucky, they could ride a horse or ahorse-pulled carriage. It would take days or weeks for them to travel the same distances that we can cover in just a few hours today by plane or high-speed rail. Can you imagine having towalk for days and days just to get somewhere? No thanks! I'm glad we have such awesome transportation these days.Medicine and health care have also improved a ton. If I get sick now, my parents can take me to the doctor who can dox-rays, MRIs, and all sorts of tests to figure out what's wrong. Then the doctor can give me medicine specifically designed to treat that illness. But long ago, they didn't really understand what caused diseases or how to cure them. They would have to try things like leeches, weird herbs, or other strange treatments that didn't really work very well. A lot of kids and adults died from diseases back then that are totally curable today. I'm really thankful for modern medicine!School is another big difference between life now and long ago. Today, we have classrooms with computers, tablets, and smartboards to make learning easier and more fun. We can watch videos, look things up online, and use cool learning apps and games. Teachers have projectors and all sorts of technologies to help explain lessons better. But way back when, students just had to listen to the teacher lecturing and maybe look at some books and chalkboards. If they didn't understand something, they just had to try their best because there weren't any videos or apps to help explain it another way. School musthave been so boring back then! I'm glad we have all the great technologies we do now that make learning a lot more interactive and engaging.At home, we also have way more modern conveniences and technologies compared to people living 100+ years ago. We have microwaves to heat up food in seconds, dishwashers to clean our plates for us, washing machines and dryers for our clothes, and so much more. My mom doesn't have to spend all day washing dishes and clothes by hand or cooking over a fire like they did long ago. And at night, we can watch TV, play video games, or go online instead of just sitting around a candle or fire like they used to. I can't imagine how hard life was for kids and families without all the helpful modern appliances and electronics we have now.So as you can see, there are huge differences between life today and life long ago before there were modern technologies and inventions. We are so lucky to live in this era where we have video games, smartphones, the internet, modern transportation, advanced medicine, technology for learning and at home, and so much more to make our lives easier and better. While I'm sure there are some good things about living in the old days, I'm really happy to be a kid in today's world. The past seems difficultand kind of boring compared to all the amazing advancements and improvements of modern life!篇2My Life Now and My Life BeforeHi there! My name is Timmy and I'm going to tell you all about how my life is different now compared to when I was a little kid. Get ready for some big changes!Let me start by talking about my home. When I was really little, I lived in a small house with my mom, dad, and little sister Susie. We only had a couple of bedrooms and one bathroom that we all had to share. Now my family lives in a huge house with 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and even a game room! I finally have my own bathroom so I don't have to wait for Susie to get out of the shower. My room is also way bigger with plenty of space for all my toys and video games.My school has changed a ton too. Before, I went to a tiny elementary school right down the street. We had a really small playground with just some swings, a slide, and a jungle gym. All the classrooms were kind of old and we didn't have any computers or tablets. Now I go to a gigantic school with over 1000 students! We have an amazing playground with a rockclimbing wall, zip lines, and even a volleyball court. Every classroom has smart boards and we each get our own laptop and iPad to use. How cool is that?!Speaking of technology, the devices and gadgets we have now are just mind-blowing compared to when I was younger. I remember we just had an ancient desktop computer with dial-up internet that took forever to load a single webpage. Nowadays, I have a powerful gaming laptop, a 4K TV, a virtual reality headset, and the latest smartphone with blazing fast 5G internet. I can download movies in seconds, stream video games without any lag, and look up anything instantly online. It's like living in the future!Another huge difference is how we spend our free time and have fun. As a little kid, we had to use our imagination way more to entertain ourselves. I loved playing make-believe games, reading books and comic books, coloring, and doing arts and crafts. Sometimes we'd go to a park, playground, or museum as a family outing. Nowadays, I spend lots of my free time gaming online with friends, watching YouTube and TikTok videos, listening to music on streaming apps, or binge-watching shows on Netflix. We also go to awesome places like trampoline parks,laser tag arenas, virtual reality arcades, and escape rooms. The fun never stops!Even things like food and shopping have radically changed. I remember when we'd have to go to the grocery store, wait in long checkout lines, and then lug all the heavy bags home in the car. Now we can just order our groceries online and have them delivered right to our doorstep! We also use apps to get food delivered from almost any restaurant with just a few taps. As for shopping for clothes, toys, and other stuff, we rarely need to go to malls or stores anymore since we can buy anything online and have it shipped within a couple days.One last area where things are really different is how we communicate and keep in touch with people. When I was younger, we had to use a landline telephone at home to make calls. We could only text on ancient flip phones with tiny screens and keyboards. Video chatting with distant family was unheard of. These days, I can make crystal clear video calls from my laptop or smartphone. I can send unlimited texts, pictures, and videos instantly to all my friends and relatives no matter where they live. We can also share our lives with the whole world through social media apps like Instagram, Snapchat, and TikTok.As you can see, my life now is vastly different than it was just a few years ago when I was a little kid. Thanks to all the incredible new technology, my days are filled with way more fun activities, conveniences, and connections to the world. While part of me misses the simple charms of my early childhood, I have to admit that modern life is truly amazing. I can't wait to see what other mind-bending changes and advancements are in store as I keep growing up!篇3My Life Now vs. My Life BeforeWow, life sure is different now than it was when I was a little kid! So many things have changed in just a few years. Let me tell you about all the crazy new stuff in my life.First, the way I spend my time is totally different. When I was really little, I used to play outside all day long. My friends and I would run around the neighborhood, climb trees, ride our bikes, and play crazy games like tag and hide-and-seek. We made up so many fun adventures and pretend worlds. Nowadays, I hardly ever play outside. Instead, I spend a bunch of time on screens - phones, tablets, video games, you name it. My parents are always telling me to get off my devices and go play, but all myfriends are also just sitting around staring at their phones and iPads. The games and apps and videos are just so entertaining and addicting! I have to admit though, sometimes I miss the old days of using my imagination to make up games rather than just staring at a screen.Another big difference is the way I communicate with my friends. When I was little, we would actually talk to each other face-to-face or call each other on the house phone. Now, we pretty much only text, Snapchat, or message each other online. Don't get me wrong, it's awesome being able to talk to my friends any time just by picking up my phone. But sometimes I miss the good old days of arranging play dates, running over to each other's houses, and getting to hang out in person. Talking through a screen just isn't the same as real human interaction. And figuring out tone and emotions over text is hard - so many misunderstandings happen because of miscommunications online!Technology has also completely changed the way I learn and do schoolwork. Back in the day, we used physical books, wrote on paper, and did everything by hand. Now, I do the majority of my work digitally - reading textbooks online, typing essays, making PowerPoints and presentations, and so much more. Ihave to admit, it's really convenient being able to find any information I need online and being able to create nice-looking projects on the computer. But I kind of miss the simplicity of reading an actual book and handwriting assignments theold-fashioned way. Call me a grandma, but I liked the break that came from not staring at a screen.One positive change is that my world has gotten so much bigger as I've grown up. When I was a little kid, my world was so small - just my house, my neighborhood, my school. I didn't really know much about what was happening beyond my tiny bubble. But now that I'm older and have access to the internet and social media, I'm so much more connected to so many different people, places, and ideas around the world. I can learn about different cultures, follow global events, and make friends from other countries - all without even leaving my room. While it's definitely made me spend more time inside staring at screens, it's incredible how technology has opened up my world. I know so much more about life beyond my little corner of suburbia.I've also noticed how much my family life has changed over the years as I've gotten older. When I was a baby, my parents were always around and we spent tons of quality time together. We'd go to the park, the zoo, out for ice cream - all sorts of funadventures as a family. As I've grown up though, my parents have gotten way busier with their jobs and other responsibilities. Now it feels like they're always working late, running errands, or dealing with other stressful grown-up stuff. We still love each other and make time for family dinners and movie nights, but it's just not the same as when I was their one and only focus. Part of me likes my newfound independence as I've become a tween, but another part of me misses those days when it was just me, Mom, and Dad hanging out all the time. Being a kid was so simple and carefree.All in all, my life is pretty awesome these days - just way different from how it used to be. While I'm grateful for having all the conveniences of modern technology, a part of me does feel nostalgic for those carefree days of childhood simplicity. Running around outside, playing make-believe, spending quality time with family, communicating face-to-face - those were the days. I know I can't go back in time, but I'll always have those sweet memories of the good old days. Even though life is different now, I'll never forget the simple joys and adventures of my childhood years. Those times may be over, but they'll always hold a special place in my heart. After all, they made me who I am today!篇4Life Now Compared to the Olden DaysHey there! My name is Jamie and I'm 10 years old. Today I want to tell you all about how life is soooo different now than it was a long, long time ago. It's pretty wild just how many things have changed over the years!Let's start by talking about school. Nowadays, we have these really cool things called laptops and tablets that we use in the classroom. The teacher puts all our lessons and assignments right onto these devices. It's so handy because we don't need to lug around heavy textbooks and notebooks everywhere we go. We just carry our slim little laptops or tablets in our backpacks.But way back in the day, like a bazillion years ago, kids had to use actual physical books for all their schoolwork! Can you imagine? Carrying a mountain of giant, thick books between home and school every single day? Their poor little backs must have been killing them. On top of that, they had to write everything out by hand with pencils and pens. No laptops, no tablets, no typing. Just hand cramps for days!Speaking of technology, we are just swimming in awesome high-tech gadgets and gizmos these days. Smart phones thatcan do practically anything, super slim TVs with crazy good picture quality, virtual reality headsets that make you feel like you're in another world...the list just goes on and on. But in the ancient times of years past, none of that stuff existed! Not a single smartphone, flat screen, or VR headset in sight.Instead, they had to watch TV on these massive, clunky box sets that got awful reception. And phones? Huge and bulky with cords attached to the wall. You couldn't even walk around while talking on them! As for virtual reality, the closest they had was the roller rink down the street. No way to enjoy amazing 3D experiences from the comfort of home.Another major difference is how we stay entertained and have fun. These days, kids can play video games, watch movies and shows streaming online, chat with friends in multiplayer games, and so much more. Kid entertainments today are just super high-tech and interactive. The olden days, though? No streaming services, no multiplayer gaming, no interactivity at all!If you wanted to watch a movie, you actually had to travel all the way to the movie theater and buy a ticket. At home, you were stuck watching whatever happened to be playing on TV that night. And video games? Those were basically just simple,pixelated characters bouncing across the screen. Nothing like the insanely realistic graphics and complex storylines we have now.Even just getting around town was a total hassle back then. No rideshare apps, no personal navigation systems or maps on your phone. If you needed to go somewhere, you had to print out directions from a prehistoric device called a "computer" and follow them very carefully. One wrong turn and bam - you were hopelessly lost in the middle of nowhere! Or if you wanted to hail a taxi or something, you had to physically stand on the street corner and try to flag one down as they drove by. Can you imagine??These days, we just open up our smartphones and summon an Uber or Lyft with a couple taps of the screen. We can even track the driver's location and route on a map so we know exactly when they'll arrive. Or we just plug our destination into the maps app and let it guide us there turn-by-turn. So. Much. Easier.I could go on and on about the crazy differences, but I'll leave you with one last thing: food! We definitely have it way better than the olden days folks when it comes to meal times. For us, there are millions of amazing restaurants and cuisines tochoose from. Need a midnight snack? Just order takeout or delivery from a zillion different places.But those poor old-timey people didn't have all those options. Home cooked meals from boring ingredients they had to prepare themselves, or going out to one of the few diners or drive-ins in town. That was pretty much it. No taco trucks, no ramen joints, no flavors from around the globe just a tap away on a smartphone. Tragic, I tell you!Well, there you have it - my perspective on the major differences between life today and life way back in the ancient times. Technology, entertainment, transportation, food - you name it and the olden days seem suuuuper inconvenient compared to now. Thank goodness we live in the modern era with all its awesome advancements, right? I don't know how humans ever survived before all the mind-blowing conveniences we have today!篇5My Life Now and My Life BeforeWow, has my life changed a lot in the last few years or what? It's crazy how different things are now compared to when I was just a little kid. Back then, everything seemed so simple and easy.But now that I'm getting older, life has gotten way more complicated!I remember when I was really little, probably around 4 or 5 years old. My biggest worry was deciding which cartoon to watch or what toys to play with. Mom and Dad didn't let me watch too much TV, but I loved all the classic shows like Sesame Street, Blue's Clues, and Dora the Explorer. My favorite toys were stuffed animals, Legos, and this cute little kitchen set where I could pretend to cook. Simple pleasures, you know?Nowadays, there's always some kind of homework to do or test to study for. I have to spend way more time on schoolwork than playing. It feels like teachers just keep piling on more and more assignments and projects. Why do they think cramming our brains with so much info is a good idea? I miss the days when my biggest academic challenge was learning to tie my shoes.Technology has changed so much too. Back when I was little, we just had a basic TV, computer, and maybe a video game system if you were lucky. My family couldn't really afford the latest gadgets. But now, every kid has an iPad or tablet, a laptop for school, a smartphone...the list goes on. I'm definitely not complaining because I love having access to all that cool tech.But it's just wild how quickly things have advanced in recent years.Social media and apps are another big shift. When I was little, I obviously didn't have any accounts or worry about things like follower counts and Snapchat streaks. My online presence was limited to the stupid home videos my parents would upload of me (so embarrassing). These days, it feels like my whole social life revolves around Instagram, TikTok, texting friends, and all that digital stuff. I can't even imagine what childhood was like before the internet and mobile games!Speaking of friends, my friendships have changed a ton over the years too. When you're really little, you can basically be friends with anyone as long as they're fun to play pretend games with. I was buddies with all my neighbors and kids at preschool. Friendships were easy and drama-free back then. Now that I'm older, friends come and go as people's interests and friend groups shift. Navigating the social dynamics of "who's cool" and which friends are "just acquaintances" is so complicated sometimes. I miss the simple days of just plopping down at the playground and instantly becoming best buds.Family dynamics have shifted a lot too. When I was really little, my parents were like my whole world. I wanted to doeverything with them and spend all my time together. They were the ultimate authority on everything back then. Whatever Mom or Dad said, I just accepted as gospel because they wereall-knowing parent gods in my eyes. These days...well, let's just say I don't idolize them quite as much anymore. I've started to form my own opinions and get this thing called "independence" or whatever. We butt heads over stuff more often as I get older.Even my appearance has changed a ton from my cute, chunky-cheeked baby days. I definitely don't look as adorable and innocent as I used to. Pimples, braces, growth spurts that make me all gangly...puberty is a wild ride, let me tell you. No wonder so many people say their childhood photos are "embarrassing." Former cute kids like me turn into these awkward half-kid, half-teenager hybrids. It's a rough phase, but I know the glow-up is coming eventually!My hobbies and interests have evolved a bunch too. Things that seemed like the coolest, most fascinating activities back then just seem silly and boring to me now. Who would've thought I'd one day outgrow my intense obsession with dinosaurs, pretending to be a cat, and watching the same movies over and over on repeat? These days, I'm way more interested inpopular music, playing sports, and just chilling with friends. My priorities and what I find fun have definitely matured over time.I could go on and on about the differences between my daily life now versus how it used to be not too long ago. One thing's for sure though - growing up happens fast! It's insane to think about how quickly I've gone from being a goofy preschooler with no cares in the world to a tween dealing with all the complexities of modern childhood.There's a lot I miss about those carefree early days, but I also really enjoy a lot of aspects of being a sophisticated big kid too. I just need to stop and appreciate the present instead of constantly looking behind or ahead. Whether life is simple or complicated, easy or challenging, there are good things to savor at every age and stage. That's my hot take after comparing my life now to how it used to be when I was really little. Even though so much has changed, I'm still me at my core - just an older, wiser version. And that's both awesome and kind of terrifying to think about.Phew, I'm exhausted after writing such a long essay! Time to take a break from all these deep thoughts and just veg out watching some cartoons like the good old days. Or maybe I'lltext my friends to see if they're down for some video games instead...decisions, decisions!。

Helen Caton is the owner of Yoga Wellness studio in Richmond Virgima.She says that schools and preschools have asked her to teach yoga classes. "Schools find their after-school programs before don't work." Caton says. "They're looking for something to free children from worries and help them feel relaxed." She says children can't sit for an hour-long class,so yoga classes for children should be varied.It means they can have moreactivities,such as dances,songs,movements and so on. Yoga Wellness studio also gives beginning yoga classes to high school students."We prepare the mats and walk them through a very beginner -friendly class."says the studio teacher Adrienne Dolberry.This month a group of 12th graders took part in the class.They learned how to use yoga to relax themselves before a test.

人们常常说：对于青春来说，最令人悲伤的事情莫过于青春在年轻时被浪费掉了。
在读一份对大学一年级新生作的调查报告时，我又想起了这种惋惜之情：“要是当初我就懂得了现在我领悟到的东西该有多好！”
这份调查报告印证了我以前根据在梅肯和罗宾斯住宿中心对学生进行的非正式民意调查所作的推断：学生们认为如果某种东西（不管它是何物）没有实际意义，不能把它当酒喝、当烟抽、当钱花，那么“它”就基本毫无价值。
基于对188，000多名学生答卷的调查表明，当今的大学新生比这项民意测验开始17年以来的任何时候的大学新生都“更主张消费主义，同时也少了些理想主义”。
在这个经济不景气的时代，学生们的主要目标是追求“经济上的富裕”。
与过去任何时候相比，树立有意义的人生哲学已不那么重要了。
这一情况并不让人感到惊奇。
因此，如今最受欢迎的课程不是文学或历史，而是会计学。
如今人们对当教师、社会服务和人文学科、还有种族和妇女研究的兴趣都处于低潮。
而另一方面，攻读商科、工程学及计算机科学的学生人数却在迅速增加。
还有一件事也不令人意外。
我的一个朋友（一个化工公司的销售代理）在干这份工作的第一年所挣的钱就已是大学教师薪水的两倍了──这甚至还是在她修完两年制的准学士学位课程之前的事。
她喜欢说这样一句话：“我会对他们讲，他们学习音乐、历史、文学等等有什么用！”那还是四年以前呢，我都不敢想象她现在赚多少钱。
坦率地说，我为这位小姐感到骄傲（不是为她的态度，而是为她的成功）。
但是我们为什么不能两全其美呢？我们就不能教会人们既懂得谋生，又懂得人生么？我相信我们能够做到。
如果我们做不到这一点，那就是对我们从幼儿园、小学、中学直到大学的整个教育制度的否定。
在一个日益专业化的时代，我们比过去任何时候都更需要了解什么是生活中真正重要的东西。
这就是年龄和成熟所能带给人们的启示。
大多数年龄约在30至50岁之间的人都会最终得出一个必然的结论，即他们不应该仅仅是为某个公司、某个政府机构或任何其他单位服务。
我们大多数人最终会认识到，生活质量并不完全是由资产负债表来决定的。
诚然，每个人都想在经济上富裕点。
但是我们还希望对自己职业范围以外的世界有所了解；我们希望能为我们的同胞和上帝效劳。
如果说人要到步入中年才能对人生的含义有所领悟的话，那么为这种领悟扫清障碍不正
是教育机构的责任吗？大多数人在年轻的时候怨恨从他们工资中扣钱交社会保险金，然而好像只是短短几年后，他们就发现自己正焦急地站在信箱旁边（等待养老金支票）了。
虽然我们所有人都确实需要一份工作，最好是一份薪水丰厚的工作。
但同样不容争
议的事实是，我们的文明已经在我们各自的领域之外积累了巨大的知识财富。
而且正因为我们理解了这些在其他领域的贡献――不管是科学方面的,还是艺术方面的――我们的人生才更完善。
同样地，我们在了解他人的智慧的同时，自己也学会了如何去思考。
也许更重要的是，教育使我们的视野超越了眼前的需求，并使我们看到了事物间的联系。
我们每周都在报纸上读到这样的消息：工会在为要求更高的工资而罢工，结果却只是使他们的老板破了产。
没有了公司，也就没有了工作岗位。
从长远来看，他们的目光是何等地短浅！
但是赞成全面教育的最重要的理由是，在学习世世代代积累起来的知识的同时，我们也提高了自己的道德感。
最近我看了一幅漫画，描述了几个商人坐在会议桌周围，看上去困惑不解的样子。
其中的一个正通过内部通话设备讲话：“巴克斯特小姐，”他说，“是否可以请您叫一个能明辨是非的人来？”
从长远观点来看，这确确实实是教育应该做的事。
我认为教育完全能够做到这一点。
我的一位大学室友──现在是纽约一家大型航运公司的总裁──过去曾主修过商科，这一点并不出人意料。
但是他也曾在大学调频电台上主持过一档古典音乐节目，并且在学习会计学的时候还在欣赏瓦格纳的音乐作品。
这就是教育之道。
奥斯卡·王尔德说得好：我们应该把我们的才能用于工作，而把我们的天赋投入到生活中去。
我们希望我们的教育工作者能满足学生对职业教育的渴求，但与此同时，我们也要确保学生能为他们认识到自己目光短浅的那一天做好准备。
人生的意义远远不止是工作。
