【正文】 t way to keep pace with the times in the information age, and an infallible warrant of success in times of uncertainty.
determination to sweep away obstacles to our success and strangling our desire for the refinement of our character. lack of learning will inevitably lead to the stagnation of the mind, or even worse, its fossilization, therefore, to stay mentally young, we have to take learning as a lifelong career.
學(xué)習(xí)之于心靈，就像食物之于身體一樣。攝取了適量的營養(yǎng)
食物，我們的身體得以生長而肌肉得以發(fā)達(dá)。不斷的學(xué)習(xí)提供我們用不盡的燃料，來驅(qū)使我們磨利我們的推理、分析和判斷的能力。
一旦學(xué)習(xí)停止，單調(diào)貧乏的生活就開始了。相反地，學(xué)習(xí)應(yīng)該是一種無終止的歷程，從生到死。更糟的是，蟄伏在我們潛意識深處的獸性本能就會復(fù)活，削弱我們追求高貴理想的意志，弱化我們掃除成功障礙的決心，而且扼殺我們凈化我們?nèi)烁竦挠?。因此，為了保持心理年輕，我們必須將學(xué)習(xí)當(dāng)作一生的事業(yè)。娛樂并不如某些人所想的，是在浪費(fèi)時間，它可以讓學(xué)生鍛煉身體，發(fā)揮被繁重課業(yè)扼殺的想象力。我并非主張廢除學(xué)校課業(yè)，但是我認(rèn)為減輕目前繁重的課業(yè)對于學(xué)生和整個社會都是有益的。我浪費(fèi)很
多時間四處游蕩，以致于我的成績開始退步。
現(xiàn)在我有一個明智運(yùn)用時間的新方法。我也決定將我所做的一切及做這些事的時間記錄下來。
4．work and play【工作與娛樂】
來說，適度的娛樂活動能提供各種管道，來渲泄你被壓抑的情緒，減輕單調(diào)生活中的緊張與不悅。通常我并不特地?fù)艹鰰r間來做運(yùn)動，但是我很重視學(xué)校的體育課。在周末時，我都去看早場電影，享受視覺饗宴。
5．my first job【我的第一份工作】
my first job was at a cramming school. it was three years ago when i just graduated from junior high school and finished the entrance
examination. since i had nothing to do that summer, i decided to find a job, tasting the joy of independence.
i was responsible for answering the telephone and taking the message. i worked eight hours a day, six days a week. the work was not difficult nor heavy to me and i guess i did well. the most delighted thing was perhaps that i could spend the money i earned all by myself.
我的第一份工作是在一家補(bǔ)習(xí)班做事。既然我那整個夏天都閑著沒事，倒不如找份差事，嘗嘗獨(dú)立賺錢的快樂。我一天工作八小時，一星期工作六天。而最令人快樂的事大概莫過于花全部由自己篇二：幽默英語演講小短文(2分鐘的)
as food is to the body, so is learning to the mind. our bodies grow and muscles develop with the intake of adequate nutritious food. likewise, we should keep learning day by day to maintain our keen mental power and expand our intellectual capacity. constant learning supplies us with inexhaustible fuel for driving us to sharpen our power of reasoning, analysis, and judgment. learning incessantly is the surest way to keep pace with the times in the information age, and an infallible warrant of success in times of uncertainty.
學(xué)習(xí)之于心靈，就像食物之于身體一樣。同樣地，我們應(yīng)該日復(fù)一日不斷地學(xué)習(xí)以保持我們敏銳的心智能力，并擴(kuò)充我們的智力容量。持續(xù)的學(xué)習(xí)是在信息時代中跟時代并駕齊驅(qū)的最穩(wěn)當(dāng)?shù)姆椒?，也是在變動的世代中成功的可靠保證。視學(xué)校為汲取知識的唯一場所是種常見的謬
誤。由于世界一直快速地在變動，只要學(xué)習(xí)停頓數(shù)日就將使人落后。缺少學(xué)習(xí)將不可避免地導(dǎo)致心靈的停滯，甚至更糟地，使其僵化。
2．heavy schoolwork【課業(yè)繁重】
in my opinion, the schoolwork now being assigned to high school students is too heavy. while it is true that students need to study, they need other things as well if they are to grow into healthy and wellrounded adults. high should be allowed more time for play. playing is not wasting time, as some think. it gives them physical exercise, and also exercise their imagination. which tends to be stifled by too much study. finally, the pressure put on high school students by excessive schoolwork can cause serious stress, which is unhealthy physically and mentally. i do not advocate the elimination of schoolwork. i do think, however, that a reduction of the current heavy load would be beneficial to students and to the society as a whole.
我認(rèn)為目前高中生的課業(yè)實在太重了，雖然說學(xué)生的確應(yīng)當(dāng)念書，但是要想長大成為健全的人，他門還需要一些其它的東西，所以應(yīng)該給高中生較多從事娛樂的時間。此外，繁重的課業(yè)加諸在高中生身上的壓力可能引起嚴(yán)重的情緒緊張，這對身心都有害。
3．time【時間】
lost time is never found again. this is something which i learned very clearly last semester. i spent so much time fooling around that my grades began to suffer. i finally re
