My Family
Everyone has a family.We live in it and feel very warm.There are three persons in my family,my mother,father and I.We live together very happily and there are many interesting stories about my family.
My father is a hard-working man.He works as a barber.
My mother is a woman with a bad memory.She always does a lot of housework,but sometimes she makes mistakes out of carelessness.For example,one day,she washed clothes in the washer,after the washer finished the work,she found she hadn't filled the washer with water.
Now let me tell you a funny thing:one day,father wanted to get up early as usual,buthe wasn't able to do that,because he hadn't set the alarm clock the night before,so when he got up,he did everything in a hurry.After father left,mother said to me mysteriously,"He will come back soon." "Why?" I was greatly surprised."Because today is Sunday,his holiday!" Just as mother said,father came back home soon,and went to bed again--he was too tired.
You see,what an interesting family have!I hope that you will have one like mine,too.
我的家庭
每个人都有家.我们大家生活在那里,并从那里获取温暖.我们家有三口人,我妈妈、爸爸,还有我.我们在一起幸福地生活,我们家有许多有趣的故事.
我爸爸工作认真.他是理发师.
我妈妈是一位记性很不好的人.她总是做很多家务活,但有时却因为她的粗心而做错事.比如说,有一天,她用洗衣机洗衣服,最后却发现自己忘了在洗衣机中放水.现在让我告诉你一件有趣的事：一天,爸爸想像平常一样早起,但是由于他前天没有设置闹钟,所以他起晚了,当他起床时,他匆匆忙忙地洗漱完毕就去上班了,爸爸离开后,妈妈神秘地对我说：“他一会儿一定会回来的.”“为什么?”我十分惊讶.“因为今天是星期天,他的假日.”妈妈正说着的时候,不一会儿,爸爸就回来了,并且再一次上床睡觉了——因为他太累了.
你瞧,多么有趣的家庭!我希望你也有一个像我一样的家庭.
ladies and gentlemen , good afternoon! i?m very glad to stand here and giveyou a short speech. today my topic is “youth”. i hope you will like it , andfound the importance in your youth so that more cherish it.
first i want to ask you some questions: 1、 do you know what is youth? 2、how do you master your youth?
youth
youth is not a time of life, it is a state of mind it is not rosy cheeks ,red lips and supple knees, it is a matter of the emotions : it is the freshnessit is the freshness of the deep springs of life .
youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity of theappetite , for adventure over the love of ease. this often exists in a man of 60more than a boy of 20 . nobody grows old merely by a number of years . we growold by deserting our ideals.
years wrinkle the skin , but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul .worry , fear , self –distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.
whether 60 of 16 , there is in every human being ?s heart the lure ofwonders, the unfailing childlike appetite of what?s next and the joy of the gameof living . in the center of your heart and my heart there?s a wireless station: so long as it receives messages of beauty , hope ,cheer, courage and powerfrom men and from the infinite, so long as you are young .
when the aerials are down , and your spirit is covered with snows ofcynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old ,even at 20 , but aslong as your aerials are up ,to catch waves of optimism , there is hope you maydie young at 80. that?s all ! thank you!
My school is near a small lake. It is very beautiful. I like my school very much.
We have a high teaching building and it is big and clean. Our classroom is on the fifth floor. The computer rooms are on the third floor. We have computer classes there. We have a big library on the second floor. There are many books in it. I like reading books there. We also have music room and art rooms in the building.
There is a big playground behind the teaching building. After class, we often play basketball there.
The teachers in my school are very kind. The students are very polite and smart. I am happy in my school.
I am in NO.2 Middle School. I love my school. There are more than 1,500 students in our school. We have math, English, Chinese, music, art, P.E and so on. Our teachers are friendly to us. Although they are strict with us on all subjects, we love them very much. In class, they teach us know ledges, after class, they often play games with us. Such as football, Ping-pong, volleyball.
I usually join Art Club or Sports Club after school. I think I am happy every day in the school. So I love it.
I study in the No.1 Primary School. It's one of the best primary schools in my city. There are four buildings in campus. Two of them are teaching buildings. The other two are library and gym. The teaching buildings are huge and the classroom is large and bright. There are plenty of books in the library. I like reading books in the library. After class, students like playing in the gym. It’s a popular place after class. Besides, our teachers are great. They care much about students. I am happy to study in my school.
but now here's where the bias comes in. our most important institutions, our schools and our workplaces, they are designed mostly for extroverts and for extroverts' need for lots of stimulation. and also we have this belief system right now that i call the new groupthink, which holds that all creativity and all productivity comes from a very oddly gregarious place.
so if you picture the typical classroom nowadays: when i was going to school, we sat in rows. we sat in rows of desks like this, and we did most of our work pretty autonomously. but nowadays, your typical classroom has pods of desks -- four or five or six or seven kids all facing each other. and kids are working in countless group assignments. even in subjects like math and creative writing, which you think would depend on solo flights of thought, kids are now expected to act as committee members. and for the kids who prefer to go off by themselves or just to work alone, those kids are seen as outliers often or, worse, as problem cases. and the vast majority of teachers reports believing that the ideal student is an extrovert as opposed to an introvert, even though introverts actually get better grades and are more knowledgeable, according to research. (laughter)
Attention,please:
okay, same thing is true in our workplaces. now, most of us work in open plan offices, without walls, where we are subject to the constant noise and gaze of our coworkers. and when it comes to leadership, introverts are routinely passed over for leadership positions, even though introverts tend to be very careful, much less likely to take outsize risks -- which is something we might all favor nowadays.
now in fact, some of our transformative leaders in history have been introverts. i'll give you some examples. eleanor roosevelt, rosa parks, gandhi -- all these peopled described themselves as quiet and soft-spoken and even shy. and they all took the spotlight, even though every bone in their bodies was telling them not to. and this turns out to have a special power all its own, because people could feel that these leaders were at the helm, not because they enjoyed directing others and not out of the pleasure of being looked at; they were there because they had no choice, because they were driven to do what they thought was right.
i'm talking about your coworkers and your spouses and your children and the person sitting next to you right now -- all of them subject to this bias that is pretty deep and real in our society. we all internalize it from a very early age without even having a language for what we're doing.
now to see the bias clearly you need to understand what introversion is. it's different from being shy. shyness is about fear of social judgment. introversion is more about, how do you respond to stimulation, including social stimulation. so extroverts really crave large amounts of stimulation, whereas introverts feel at their most alive and their most switched-on and their most capable when they're in quieter, more low-key environments. not all the time -- these things aren't absolute -- but a lot of the time. so the key then to maximizing our talents is for us all to put ourselves in the zone of stimulation that is right for us.
Everyone has their own dreams, I have a dream that many, many, for example, grew up to be an inventor, a lawyer, to be a artist, to be a doctor... . My biggest dream is to become an inventor, because the inventor can for mankind a lot of new products. If I am the inventor, I have invented a magic pen, it can according to your need to change color, or in a timely manner when you write a typo prompt you to correct, or when you are drawing can draw what we desire. I want to invent a robot trash can, if people littering, it will prompt you don't throw garbage in disorder, so, our city will become clean and tidy. I will invent a time door, let the children back to ancient times, to see the dinosaurs, uncover the extinction of dinosaurs. I will invent a brooch, when you put it in your chest, can think what you can do, such as you want on the stage, show elegant appearance, can become artists; Do you want to heal sickness, for people can become angels; You want to help people engage in a lawsuit.
by the time john pulled into the little town, every hotel room was taken."you've got to have a room somewhere." he pleaded. "or just a bed--i don't carewhere."
"well, i do have a double room with one occupant," admitted the manager,"and he might be glad to split the cost. but to tell you the truth, he snores soloudly that people in adjoining rooms have complained in the past. i'm not sureit'd be worth it to you."
"no problem," the tired traveler assured him. "i'll take it."
the next morning, john came down to breakfast bright-eyed and bushy-tailed.when asked about how he slept, he replied, "never better."
the manager was impressed. "no problem with the other guy snoring,then?"
"nope. i shut him up in no time."
"how'd you manage that?"
"he was already in bed, snoring away, when i came in the room," john said."i went over, gave him a kiss on the cheek, said, 'goodnight, beautiful.' withthat he sat up all night watching me.
a man who lived in a block of apartments thought it was raining and put hishead out the window to check. as he did so a glass eye fell into his hand.
he looked up to see where it came from in time to see a young woman lookingdown.
"is this yours?" he asked.
she said, "yes, could you bring it up?" and the man agreed.
on arrival she was profuse in her thanks and offered the man a drink. asshe was very attractive he agreed. shortly afterwards she said, "i'm about tohave dinner. there's plenty. would you like to join me?"
he readily accepted her offer and both enjoyed a lovely meal. as theevening was drawing to a close the lady said, "i've had a marvelous evening.would you like to stay the night?"
the man hesitated then said, "do you act like this with every man youmeet?"
"no," she replied, "only those who catch my eye."
