Have you ever heard about Warren Buffet, the second richest person in the world? Well, today I am not going to talk about him but his three kids.
For someone whose parent is such an extraordinarily successful investor, the three kids come out pretty ordinary guys. When they were young, they each received $ 10,000 a year. If they wanted to borrow more money form their father, they have to sign a written agreement. When growing up, however, they all found their lovely jobs-housewife, farmer, musician, instead of relying on their well off father.
It seems that they are unlucky to have a father who criticizes the self-indulgence of super-rich. But is it really true? No, absolutely not! In fact, they are grateful to him because they found their own passion which suits their true talent, and they are able to make money on their own.
So what could we learn from them? Three words: independence, responsibility, passion. Indeed we are fortunate to be protected by the whole family, but this cannot be the reason for us to become boomerang children.
Although we, the generation of 90s have been questioned from the day we were born: selfness and weakness, indifference and rebellion, sensitivity and pride, we are still pressing on with our creed: Yes we can. At a time when the earthquake happened in We chuan, we were praised by the whole public because of the bravery and determination we show during the process of rescuing. Yes we can. When the World Expo was held in Shanghai, the smile on volunteers’ faces impressed millions of people all around the world. Yes we can. When the two kids fell into the river, fifteen freshmen of Chang Jiang University saved them from drowning regardless of the truth that they cannot swim. Yes we can. We were there for the return of Hong Kong and Macao, the Olympic Game in Beijing, the 60th anniversary of founding of New China, and Premier Wen Jiabao who told the survivors in earthquake that “We shall overcome.” Yes we can.
As the only child in the family, however, some of us just like flowers growing in the greenhouse that take for granted, and parents will give them whatever they want, from toys to books, from watches to cell phones, from houses to cars. But apart from this, we have to be independent. Everyone is an individual. You are not your parents’ sequel. You are not your kids’ prequel. You have your own talents and you have to rely on yourselves.
Take responsibility. No one can support you in your whole life. No one
Today I am going to tell you a true story about a life-altering event that happened to an old hunter from Tibet’s northern lands.
Early in the morning, the hunter saw a group of Tibetan antelopes on grass hill near his tent. He rushed out of his tent and mounted his horse with his rifle. The antelopes all quickly ran away except one. A strong, fat one ran only a few steps and came back. It looked imploringly at him, stepped up towards him and then knelt on its knees with tears streaming down from its eyes. Feeling softhearted for a flashing moment, the hunter did not pull the trigger. But after he shut his eyes, pulled the trigger and the antelope fell onto the ground in a kneeling position with discernible tears still on its face.
The old hunter restlessly cut the Tibetan antelope open. What he had saw made him choke on his breath and the knife fell on the ground with a crash. He saw a baby antelope lying in the womb, surely dead. All of a sudden he realized why the antelope was strong and fat and why it heavily knelt before him and cried: It was imploring him to have mercy on its baby!
The old hunter buried the antelope and its unborn baby together with his hunting rifle that day…
I will never forget this story. Today I told it to more people and I’d like to point out: In the world the kneeling of loving mothers, whatever of human being or animal is sacred. Lives of all kinds are equal. Let us care about the nature, care about our life with our affection and respect to the life. Hopefully we could live harmoniously, as part of nature.
I like reading books very much,because there are lots of interesting things in them.
Two years ago,I didn't like reading very much.I had plenty of time,but I spent lots of time on playing with computers.When I was very young,I didn't think reading book was interesting,because I found nothing more interesting than the computer games.
I've changed now.I enjoy reading novels,because there're lots of interesting stories.I love to read Harry Potter.That's a good novel.I know that it is one of the best-sellers in England.I'm always lose myself in the interesting stories.
I hate the words like "to be continued" in a novel.That makes me very sad,because I don't know the end of the story.I also hate the words like "the end",because I want to read more.Some of my friends think that I'm strange.
Maybe you can find the interesting things in a book,so don't waste your time in the computers any more.If you read very much,you抣l get lots of knowledge.

January 12, 2030 is my happiest day, because the national space agencydecided that I would fly the shenzhou-16 spacecraft and lead some tourists tothe moon.
At 6:23 a.m., I calmly pressed the button after I heard the order.Suddenly, a thick plume of smoke was coming from the stern of the ship, whichleft the ground and ran straight into the sky. Flying for about an hour,suddenly, I don't know who called out: "moon!" Suddenly, the cabin was boiling,and our eyes were on the outside.
In the vast universe, the stars twinkle and shine, and the meteors flashthrough the cabin, and all kinds of vehicles travel through it. Looking out ofthe window, the earth is getting smaller and smaller, and the moon is gettingbigger and bigger.
The moon arrived, and the tourists, according to the arrangement beforedeparture, each carried an o_ygen bag on their back, lined up and walked out ofthe cabin orderly. Who knows a cabin, you can not master the balance, it is likewalking and flying, drifting leisurely. One of the little schoolmates in theentourage was frightened to tears. I'm telling you not to be afraid, because themoon is so small that you lose weight and you can fly with a little bit offorce. Gradually accustomed to everyone, enjoy the play up, some still opencarry artificial wings, fly fly, like a bird over everyone's head, flaps for awhile, like an eagle in the sky.
In the east of China, there is a small city---Haimen. I was born there. Today, I am telling you about my hometown. Haimen is not far from Shanghai. It’s at the mouth of the Changjiang River.
Haimen is a modern city. There are lots of high buildings in it. Most of us live in flats. We like to live in flats because we can be close to our friends. In the center of Haimen, there are many shops. You can buy some nice things here. Things in most shops aren’t expensive. You can pay a little money and they are yours.
My hometown is a beautiful city. On each of the roads, there are some big trees and nice flowers. The roads are also very clean. They make people happy and comfortable. The seasons here are very nice. From . I like autumn best. It’s neither hot nor cold. A poem says “Flyer of summer come to my window to sing, then fly away. And yellow leaves of autumn, which have no songs, just fall there with a sign.” It’s very cool.I love Haimen. It’s a nice place to live. Welcome to my hometown.
I chose a small island country on the Pacific Ocean. This option is not tonot elected, so had to choose a casually. Very early to go abroad to play, butto the time to consider where, but often at a loss. Feel that want to go, andthat should go to a paradise-like place, to escape the world, had their owncomfortable and breathtaking life ... ... even if the world is great, but canaccommodate your body, or not much. So, travel is also limited, not just humanand financial resources, and your desire. You want to travel, you will find whatkind of paradise.
I am not a fantasy to adventure, but now there is no such opportunity tolook at the foreign world. I heard that the sky is very blue in Japan, theItalian Leaning Tower is beautiful, Australia's beach is very clean, but I didnot have the opportunity to go out and see for himself. When friends know that Ihave not passed the country, they are surprised, "is not it? You have not beenabroad?" Go abroad, in the now global society which is not difficult, but do notknow why, that is, Did not go out ...

Days or to have, as for my trip to the world, then talk about it
China is a nation with a long history of, known as the "ancient civilization". In the vast history, Chinese culture has a long history, profound through the ages, has been with the development of the national language.
Chinese characters, is the pride of the Chinese people, it is ancestors generations of the crystallization of wisdom, is the symbol of the Chinese nation. Whenever we write down each one vivid characters, exclamation characters will be wonderful, "cross" "vertical", "" si"... simple strokes, but formed hundreds of thousands of words.
A "happy" word, make we smile; A word "angry", then let us got miffed up with anger. A "cry" word, let us shade; A word "music", and making us laugh... In the face of the rich and colorful words in our country, but now the young people and how to do?
Fashion, tide, this is the pursuit of our primary and middle school students. Had appeared in our country, using traditional Chinese characters, write Mars, this is the text of serious damage to our country. Our words to through the vicissitudes of life, more than 600 years of Chinese characters: from the original oracle, pictographic, later again to the modernization of traditional Chinese characters, to perfect modern simplified characters. Don't we should go to learn our country general words?
"Pole wide long bench, pole want to tie on the bench, the bench doesn't let carrying-pole tied to the bench..." Ah, good intelligent Chinese, good beautiful Chinese. The charm of Chinese is really big, "learning Chinese all over the world," when singing this a few words of lyrics, the in the mind is very proud, when we are empathetic listening to this beautiful Chinese, more profound understanding to the many people are talking about the "English".
From Monday until Friday most people are busyworking or studying,but in the evenings and off weekends they are free to relax and enjoy themselves.Some watch television or go to the movies;others participate in sports.It depends on individual interests.There are many different ways to spend our spare time.
Almost everyone has some kind of hobby.It may be anything from collecting stamps to making model airplanes.Some hobbies are worth a lot of money; others are valuable only to their owners.
I know a man Who has a coin collection worth several thousand yuan.A short time ago he bought a rare ten-yuan piece worth 250 yuan.He was very happy about the purchase and thought the price was reasonable,on the other hand,my son collects match boxes.He has almost 600 of them but I doubt if they are wortfi any money.However,to my son they are extremely valuable.Nothing makes him happier than to find a new match-box for his collection.
That's what a hobby means,i guess.It is something we like to do in our spare time simply for the fun of.it.The value in money is not important,but the pleasure it gives us is.
Chinese Food Chinese are famous for their cuisine. Chinese are the ultimate gourmet. Especially in south China, they would say they'd eat everything th at has four legs besides the dinner table, ever ything that has two wings besides a plane. M any of the dishes served in China may really s urprise newcomers. And many of these dishe s are so called medicinal dishes believed to h ave extraordinary nutritional value, including Shark Fin, Swallow Nest.
Snake soup is among the most treasured sou ps in China. Then there are also snake gall an d blood mixed in liquor which supposedly will brighten your eyes. Some "westernized" Chin ese would suggest that if Adam and Eve had been Chinese we humans would still be in the Garden of Eden as they would have eaten the snake.
Chopsticks are the main table utensils in Chin a. Chinese children starts with a spoon but wi ll adapt to chopsticks as early as when he jus t turns one. As a gift chopsticks symbolize str aightforwardness, because of its shape. Chin ese chopsticks don't have pointed tip, unlike t he Japanese style that is refined to pick out t he bones for their main diet, fish. Chinese cho psticks are mostly of bamboo, but today there are more and more wooden ones and plastic ones.
Foreigners are not expected to use chopstick s proficiently, but if they do, they will give a mi ghty impression. Therefore before you go to C hina, go to the local Chinese restaurant, if not to find authentic Chinese food, at least you ca n practi ce the use of chopsticks. If in your fir st meal in China you don't have to use chopst icks, then if you still can't handle the two stick s to pick up a big shrimp in your tenth meal, y ou show your incompetence in learning and t he willingness to learn.
