英语作文：生命因你而动听

在所有的学科中，有一样东西最没有实用价值，也最难教，这就是美。

因为美不能被写在教案上，拥有它与否不能改变面包数量的多寡。

而且，一个人进了美的殿堂后，往往变得拙嘴笨舌，或者自私无比，他很难退出来拉着你的手，带你进去一起参观，告诉你如何去欣赏。

幸运的是，我们有《生命因你而动听》里的霍兰德先生。

听古典音乐打瞌睡？那么他会在键盘上敲击出爵士乐来刺激你萎靡的精神，然后一点点告诉你，这曲子和巴赫的名曲之间的关系。

告诉你，你喜欢的流行音乐和那些你所畏惧的严肃音乐之间的传承关系。

喜欢演奏却没有天分？吹单簧管就像个肺痨患者一样四下走风变音？来，看看霍兰德先生是怎么教他的女学生的：他抢走了乐谱，告诉女孩说曲子都在心里，不需要再看了。

当女学生依然毫无进展时，他问女孩子一个非常奇怪的问题：“你最喜欢自己脸上的哪一部分？”女学生回答是头发，因为她父亲说她的头发像是日落黄昏。

于是，霍兰德先生在女学生耳边低语：“那么，吹奏日落吧！”这一次，女学生真的做到了。

"But if you listen real close, you can hear them whisper their legacy to you. Go on, lean in. Listen, you hear it? –Carpe–hear it? –Carpe, carpe diem, seize the day boys, make your lives extraordinary."
话题：
Talk about one of the teachers who impressed you most, whether it is a story between you and him or her, or one of the things he or she taught you that you consider to be the most important.
范例1：
Teacher Qin, my head teacher in high school who taught Math as well, always said, "there are only two things that will still mean something to you when you finish high school - one is the ability to learn by yourself, the other the healthful habits contributing to a strong body.”Driven by the pressure of courses, under the pervasive surveillance of teachers, I did “learn”to learn by myself. However, I unfortunately forgot the latter, and it was never expected that I would be about to pay that a lot for it - I have to stop my sophomore year because of a weak immune system, a resultof a long period of lack of physical exercise. Admittedly, you never know. But also,it was the year I spent at my home that reminded me of something more significant than any other in life, that is, a strong body, especially after the accidental death of my best friend as a result of myocardial infarction,who just graduated from college. We shall cherish our health, our most precious assets, and cherish the day. That’s what I learned from life, the most profound teacher.
范例2：
I have many teachers throughout my life, some of whom indeed made a difference to my growth. On this special occasion, Teachers’Day, my special thanks go to Miss Huang, my English teacher during primary education. In my senior years in primary school, I had done very well academically. However, my Chinese teacher and math teacher did not appreciate my work, who
thought that I achieved good marks not because I was smart but because I studied hard. Despite my being No.1, they showed their fondness of a boy who could respond quickly during classes and whose father a local official and mother a teacher. I suffered a strong sense of inferiority. Then, Miss Huang seemed to stand on my side. She always said in public that I was a smart and gifted student. She lent me many books and aided me in a national English competition. I did not fail her. I was the only one in the district to win a national prize as a primary student. My confidence was greatly built up because of her. Until now, I keep telling myself that I should always believe I am a gifted child and try hard to prove myself. Here, please allow me to say: Thank you, Miss Huang.
范例3：
I personally believe that the formative education plays the most profound and lasting role in our lives for it helps the formation of unique characters as well as facilitates our healthy growth. And actually, it is our parents who are the first teacher. Parents have holiest status when we are in childhood –the most critical period when individual personalities are formed. The behavior patterns of parents will be imitated by and then become ingrained in our minds. Although I’ve become an adult, the influence brought by parents are still huge and everywhere. I still remember when I felt depressed for the bad performance, my mother patiently encouraged me to never give up the pursuit
of our dream and took a positive attitude towards difficulties. Even now, I firmly hold the view that keeping optimistic is the pyramidal cornerstone for success. At last, I want to express my best wishes for all teachers. Happy Teachers' Day!。
