Some people say life is like crossing a river; 1.
I think our life is much like climbing a mountain. Each year we have a new mountain to climb. To reach our goals, we work hard to make progress day after day. 2. We can complain (抱怨) about how unfair it is to climb a new mountain every day. Or, we can just make ourselves busy.
Sometimes, we fall over. Here we also have another choice. 3. Or, we can stand on our feet and begin climbing that mountain again.
If we reach the goal for this year, we start from zero to reach the goal for next year. We shouldn't spend the rest of our lives looking at where we used to be. 4.
Many people will waste time worrying, "Can I reach my final goal?" or "Is it worth doing"? 5. The question is, "Can I take the next step in the right direction?"
Take one step at a time, and pay attention to tomorrow's step today.
A.Here we have a choice.
B.That is not the question.
C.Instead, we should look ahead.
D.These questions are really important.
E.Some say it is like climbing a mountain.
F.We can stop and complain about what progress we have lost.
Teens will finally grow up some day, leaving their parents and facing the challenges in life alone, so they should learn basic life skills and form good working habits.
The government has been trying to pay attention to the importance of hardworking spirit education (劳动教育). But this has been overlooked in recent years. Many teens do not value the importance of working hard. There is a teenager girl named Nancy, she never helps out around the house. Once her mother was on vacation for a week, leaving her alone at home. When her mother came home from vacation, she could not find a clean dish or a clean shirt.
Schools play an important role in teaching students about the value of working hard. Primary and middle schools should provide students with hardworking spirit courses every week. To our joy, some schools have provided each class with a piece of field to plant their favorite vegetables. For example, No.38 Middle School in Hefei, set up a 500-square-meter farm on an open platform (露天平台) of their teaching building. Each class are asked to grow and pick vegetables there.
Parents should also encourage children to learn how to do chores at home. Teens should master one or two life skills every year. These skills can include cooking, washing their own clothes and tiding their rooms. The basic skills may help teens to solve the problems they will meet in the future.
