Successful People

Successful people are those who work hard and never give up halfway. Even in the face of many difficulties, they won't flinch. Instead, they are always trying to overcome every impediment in their way.
　For example, Dr. Sun Yat-sen was a successful man. He devoted his life to saving China. Dissatisfied with the tyranny of the Ch'ing dynasty, he was agitated with the idea of revolution. He had spared no efforts to call on his fellow countrymen to found a republican government. Even if he and his comrades failed ten times in subverting the Ch'ing dynasty, he was not discouraged and did not falter. It was through his hard effort and struggle that he finally managed to overthrow the Ch'ing dynasty and establish the Republic of China, the first democratic country in Asia.
　This story let us know that "Perseverance leads to success."

垃圾減量

In spite of the rapid growth of economy and technology, our environment has been seriously polluted. It is mainly because there has been a vast amount of trash. The reasons why we have more and more trash are as follows. First, the number of people who produce trash is on the increase. Second, we do not have enough space to have garbage dumped. Third, a lot of rubbish which can be reused is thrown away by people. 　　 Here are several ways we can use to help decrease the amount of trash. First, we should get the public re-educated and let them know the fact that trash pollutes our environment and is harmful to our health. Second, we suggest our government enact strict laws to crack down upon people who litter garbage here and there. Third, we can call on our neighbors to reuse as many things which they have used as possible. Thus, we can have a cleaner environment to live in.

A Lesson to Learn

My little brother is so irritating. All day long he says, "Eddie, I wonder why people can talk but animals can't." Or, "I wonder why the ocean looks blue." Of course, I don't know the answers, but I don't let him know that. I just make up reasonable explanations, and he accepts them as if I'm the smartest person in the world. Before I answer one of his questions, I usually tell him that he's pretty stupid and asks too many questions.
Well, yesterday we both got our report cards. I got B's and C's, and he got straight A's. Under the "Comments" section on my report card, it said, "Eddie would be getting better grades if he asked more questions." Of course, on my brother's report card, it said just the opposite.
To make things worse, my brother squawked all day about how I was so stupid for not asking questions! I just sighed and told him he was right—I wouldn't make fun of him anymore for asking so many questions.
Yes, I learned a lesson from my little brother: Never be afraid to ask questions, and NEVER be afraid to wonder why.
