Should the Golden Week Holidays BeAbolished?
There is no denying the fact that the introductionof the Golden Week holidays in China has considerably promoted the development of thenation’s economy and touring industry and enriched people’s life. People around the countryhave spent more time and money traveling and relaxing themselves.
As every coin has two sides, the Golden Week holidays have also brought about piles ofproblems. For one thing, due to the fact that people across the country are spending theirvacations during the same period of time, it is terribly crowded almost everywhere: trains,buses, hotels, scenic spots, etc., which have ruined people’s mood for vacations. For another,some businessmen take advantage of the weeklong holidays and raise the price ofcommodities and services.
Personally, I believe that it is necessary for people to have long vacations, but there is noneed for them to have the vacations during the same period of time. Instead, they should beallowed the freedom to arrange their own vacations. Only in this way can they really relax andrefresh themselves for a new round of work.
There Is No End to Learning
Aa soon as I was eolled in college I reit a big burden off my mind. So did my classmates. We just wanted to relax. But at our first English Lesson on how to improve our study the teacher told us," There is no end to learning. You can only become a top student with additional work." And she says hard work is rewarding.
The teacher＇s words awakened me. In fact everyone in the world is always learning. Man＇s talents are like wild plants. They need cutting and pruning with the tool of learning, We lears not only inside the classroom but also outside the classroom. Learning is a process in which man adapts to his sroundings. It is driven by man＇s desire to win respect and to contribute to society. It is the curiosity for knowledge stimulated by knowledge itself ." To learn is to be young. Not to learn is to die." This saying applies to every society and to all ages.
Indeed, everyone living on earth is learning all the time. Man learns not only from books but also from his own experience We can not hope that as long as we learn we will gain benlfits. Efficient study is inseparable from good methods and motivation, A man of a strong sense of responsibility and full of ambition is insatiable in learning.
I entered the university after much efforts. I know it is only the first step on the road leading to the sea of knowledge. It is but the first page in the book of science. The further away ! am off shore, the more far-sighted! will be. The more you learn. the more you feel the need to learn. Art is long, life is short.
学无止境
一进大学，我感到思想上卸了一个包袱，就像我们的同班同学一样，大家都想放松一下。可在如何提高学习水平的笫1堂英语课上，老师就对我们说：“学无止境。只有通过努力才能成为优等生。”同时还说努力学习是会有报偿的。
老师的话唤醒了我。事实上，世上每一个人都在学习。人的才能如野生植物，需要用学习这把工具予以修剪。我们不仅在课堂上学，而且还要在课外学。学习就是不 断适应环境的过程。学习受“人要赢得尊重，就得对社会做贡献”的欲望所驱使。学习就是知识本身所引起的对知识的好奇。“学习使人年轻，不学习等于死亡。” 这句话造用于任何社会、任何时代。
确实，世人无时不在学习。人不仅从书本上学，而且在经验中学。我们不能指望只要学习就必有所获。有效的学习是与好的方法与动机分不开的。责任心强且有抱负的人会学而不厌。
经过努力，我进了大学，但我知道，这只是通往知识海洋上的第一步，只是科学这本书中的第l页。离岸越远，视野越宽。越学越想学。生命短暂，艺术无涯。
With the fast development of our society, life-long learning has become very important for everyone. This is because one needs lo acquire new knowledge continuously in order to meet the needs of his work.
There are several ways for one to learn life-long. One way is to take a part-time education program. That means, one is studying part time while he is working. The program could be at undergraduate level or graduate level. The second way is to study by yourself. You can learn whatever you need for your work on your own. You can learn from books, from TV programs or from radio.
I think that life-long learning is very necessary to us. We can choose either of the two ways mentioned above, It depends on your personal preference and interest. I prefer the first one because this kind of learning is systematic and formal. With the help of the teachers, it is easier to learn and quicker to get what you need for your work.
