你快乐吗？
With the development of the economy, human beings’ life becomes much better. But under this kind of environment there still many people think that they do not feel happy.
随着经济的发展，人类的生活变得越来越好。但在这种环境下仍有许多人认为他们并不快乐。
Actually, this big change provides us more new things that we haven’t seen before, like communication instruments. And we have to recognize that new things change our life a lot. But I don’t know how many people can find the changes in our life. We become empty inside although we become more glamorous outside. Because of many restaurants’ appearing, many people choose to have parties outside with so-called friends rather than enjoy a happy hour with families. Because of computer games many students choose to stay at Internet bar day to night rather than do what they should do, go to school and try to let their dreams come true.
实际上，这个巨大的变化，为我们提供了更多的新新鲜的事物，那是我们之前没见过的，如通信工具。我们必须认识到新鲜的事物大大地改变了我们的生活。但我不知道有多少人能够意识到我们生活中的变化。虽然表面上我们变得越来越风光但是实际上我们变得越来越空虚。由于许多餐馆的出现，很多人都选择与所谓的朋友聚会而不是与家人享受快乐时光。由于电脑游戏的出现许多学生选择一天到晚呆在网吧而不是做他们应该做的事情，去学校，为自己的梦想拼搏。
In my opinion, we should treat these things in a right way. We can make our life beautiful and significant at the same. We can enjoy the benefits from changes and use these changes to enrich our hearts. After all, there are much more than computer games that we can get from computers, we can also acquire useful knowledge.
在我看来，我们应该正确对待这些事情。我们可以同时让我们的生活变得更加美好和有意义。我们可以享受变化的好处并利用这些变化来丰富我们的心灵。毕竟，从电脑中我们可以得到比电脑游戏更多的东西，我们可以获取有用的知识。
自我宣言
I’m unique in this world. Maybe I’m similar to others in some way, but I’m
irreplaceable. Every word and behavior of mine is with my personality, because it’s my own choice.
我在这个世界上是独一无二的。也许在某些方面我和其他人会有相似之处，但是我是无可替代的。我的一言一行都有我的个性，因为那是我的选择。
I’m my own master, my body, from head to feet; my brain, including emotions and thoughts; my eyes, including everything I can see; my feelings, no matter exciting and happy, or sad and disappointed; my words, no matter is right or wrong, pleasant to the ear or not; my voice, no matter is sort or low; and what I do and how I behaves, no matter is remarkable or needed improving.
我是我自己的主人，我的身体，从头到脚；我的头脑，包括情绪和思维；我的眼睛，包括我看到的所有事物；我的感觉，无论是兴奋还是快乐，或者悲伤还是失望；我的语言，无论是对的还是错的，中听的还是不中听的；我的声音，无论是轻柔还是低沉的；我的所作所为，无论是值得称赞还是需要提升的。
I have my own illusion, dreams, hope and fear.
我有我自己的幻想，梦想，希望和恐惧。
I create my success and I’m responsible for my failure.
我创造我的成功，我为我的失败负责。
Because I’m the master of my fate, so I understand myself in deep. Because of that, I’m able to like myself, accept everything of myself, so I can show my best side to the world.
因为我主宰我的命运，所以非常了解我自己。因为这样，我才喜欢自己，接受自己的一切，能像世界展示我最好的一面。
However, people will confuse about themselves more or less, there is always a corner of our heart which cannot be understood by ourselves. Nonetheless, all I have to do is support and love myself more, I must summon the nerves to find the answer to the question in my heart, and learn more about myself.
然而，人们或多或少还是会感到迷惑，我们内心总是有那么一个角落不被自己理解。尽管如此，我所需要做的是更支持，更爱自己，我必须鼓起勇气去寻找我心中问题的答案，更了解我自己。
I have to accept everything that I see and hear, every word, every thought, because that is my true feelings. And then I can check those behaviors from my heart, if it is inappropriate, I will correct it; if it is appropriate, I will keep on doing it.
我必须接受我的所见所闻，每个词，每个想法，因为那是我真实的想法。之后我可以回头检视这些发自内心的行为，若有不适宜之处，便加以纠正；若有可取之处，则应继续保持。
I’m healthy; I can earn my own living. I’m willing to play to my potentials, and care about the others; I will devote myself to create a better world.
我身心健全，能自食其力。我愿意发挥自身潜能，并关怀他人，为创造一个更美好的世界贡献一份力量。
I can handle myself, be my own boss.
我能掌握自己，做自己的主宰。
I am who I am; there won’t be anther me in the world.
我就是我，世界上不会有第二个我。
成为一个积极向上的人
My tea is gone cold I’m wondering why i got out of bad at all. The morning rain clouds up my window and i can’t see at all. And even if I could it’ll all be gray, but your picture on my wall, it remains me that is not so bad.
我的茶越来越凉，我始终不知道为什么我的心情总是不好。清晨的雨遮住了我的窗，我什么也看不见了，看见的都是灰色，但在墙上有你的照片，它提醒我，这还不算坏。
I’m sure that there are many people in this world are very easily affected by weather or surrounding environments.This kind of people is every emotional, they maybe meet occasionally ineffable sadness, even cannot tell a reason.
我相信这个世界上有许多人是非常容易被天气或者周围的环境影响的。这类型的人非常情绪化，他们会常常感到莫名的伤感，甚至说不上原因。
I think of a few solutions to this problem. First of all, when you find out that you are not in the mood to do anything but feeling sad, the first thing you have to do is keep
yourself busy.Listening a cheerful song would be helpful, at the same time, find something else to do, like cleaning the house, go out for a jogging. Just put yourself in a cheerful and bright environment, nurture some flowers in your room, or keep a pet, the vibrant plants or animal is always a key to open a happy door.
我想出了几个方法来解决这个问题。第一，当你发现你没心思做任何事，单单地感到悲伤，你该做的第一件事就是让自己忙起来。听一首欢快的歌很有帮助，同时找点事做，像打扫房间，或者出去慢跑。把自己处在一个欢快明亮的环境里，在房间种点植物或者养只宠物，生机勃勃的植物和动物是打开快乐大门的钥匙。
Second, think in a positive way. Many people are tending to think the problem in a bad way, but in fact, things are not always as bad as they think. It is been proved that if people think in the bad side, they are unlikely find the way to solute the problem and feel worse. We should see the bright side while we are in the bad situation, which make us ensure everything is possible, and everything will get better. Then our mood will not be effected by the predicament。
第二，积极向上地想问题。许多人倾向于想问题往坏的方面想，但事实上，事情常常都没他们想的糟糕。事实证明当人们老往坏的方面想时，他们更难找到解决问题的方法，而且会感觉更糟糕。我们应该在逆境中看到光明的一面，这让我们相信一切皆有可能，任何事都会变好的。那么我们的情绪就不会被困境影响了。
In a world, to be a positive person is not that difficult, since we can master our mind, we should choose a positive over passive. Then life will be better.
总而言之，做个积极向上的人并不是那么难，既然我们能够主宰我们的思维，我们应该选择积极向上而不是消极。那样我们的生活会更美好。
网购能否代替传统购物方式
Recently, we often show that shopping online is better than in store, but is this really the case? Actually, there is no consensus of opinions among people as to the view of shopping online is better than traditional shopping. Some people consider that online shopping will replace the mall shopping, stores will disappear in the future, while others argue that stores would unlikely to be disappeared, it has its own advantages.
近来，我们经常听说网上买东西比在实体店更好，但情况真的如此吗？事实上，人们并未就这个观点达成一致意见，一些人认为网购将会代替商场购物，商场未来会消失，而另一些人则争辩说商场不可能会消失，它有自己的优势。
Most people shopping online because it is very convenient, there is no need to go out, just click the mouse gently, they can buy the goods they want. In addition, goods online are cheaper than entity shop that buyers can save a lot of money. But even the coin has two sides. Online shopping also has advantages and disadvantages. In recent years, we see a lot of news about online cheating, and many buyers complain about poor quality of the goods, which is different with the description.
大部分人网购是由于网上购物很便捷，人们不用出门，只要轻轻点击鼠标，就能买到自己想要的商品。另外，网上的东西比实体店的便宜很多，买家可以节约很多钱。不过硬币都有正反面，网购也存在利弊。近年来，我们看到很多关于网购欺骗的新闻，以及很多买家抱怨商品的质量很差，跟网上描述的不相同。
However, the situation above is rare in traditional shopping store, because the guest can communicate with the seller face to face. Buyers can also see goods intuitively. But the traditional shopping does not convenience as well as online shopping, for example, if
people meet a traffic jam on the way to the shopping which will affect the happy mood of shopping.
但这样的情况在传统购物就很少发生。因为客人与店主可以面对面交流，买家也可以直观的看到商品。但是传统购物却没有网购方便，比如在去购物的路上遇到堵车等情况，就会影响愉快的购物心情。
To sum up, online shopping and traditional shopping has their own advantages and
disadvantages. They can exist together, in recent period of time, online shopping will not replace traditional shopping.
综上所述，网购和传统的购物都有各自的优势和劣势，两者可以共同存在，在近段时间，网购不会取代传统购物。
电脑的利弊
Computer is increasingly popular in people’s daily life. The number of computer in every family is more than TV set. Some people think it is so great that they all regard it as a gift from the heaven. However, some people consider it brings more disadvantages than advantages. In my opinion, both opinions are correct, but if we can use computer in a proper way, its advantages are superior to disadvantages. I have several reasons.
在人们的日常生活中电脑越来越受欢迎。每家每户拥有电脑的数量要比电视机多。有些人觉得电脑真的很棒，所以他们都把他当作是上天赐予他们的礼物。然而，有些人则认为它所带来的弊端要比好处多。在我看来，这两个观点是正确的，但如果我们能够恰当地使用电脑，它的优点是会比缺点多的。理由有几点。
On the one hand, computer makes human beings’ life become easier. People can do many things that they can’t do before. They can read newspaper without buying it, only sitting in front of their computer, clicking mouse to open website. Shopping online,
watching movies, listening music and play computer games are the common things that people often do by computer. But without computer, they can’t do all these easily. In addition, computer is also very helpful for study and work. People can have classes and work on it.
一方面，电脑使人们的生活变得更容易。人们可以做很多以前不能做的事情。他们可以不买报纸，只坐在电脑前，点击鼠标，打开网站就看到新闻。网上购物，看电影，听音乐，玩电脑游戏，都是人们常常用电脑做的事。但是没有电脑的话，他们则无法轻易地做到这些事。此外，电脑对他们的学习和工作也是很有帮助的。人们在电脑上上课，工作。
On the other hand, computer has so many attractive things that some people will be addicted to it. Some of them may busy finding funs on it, and then ignore their real duty, such as, study and work. As a result, it will have great bad effect on their future.
另一方面，电脑有许多吸引人的东西，有些人会对它上瘾。有些人可能会专注于在电脑中寻找乐趣，而忽略了真正任务，例如，学习和工作。结果，电脑就会对人们的未来有着不良影响。
To sum, computer has advantages and disadvantages. But if people can control themselves to use computer properly, it is useful for their whole life.
总的说来，电脑有优点也有缺点。但如果人们能够正确地使用电脑，电脑对他们的一生都是有用的。
热爱生活
However mean your life is,meet it and live it ;do not shun it and call it hard names.It is not so bad as you are.It looks poorest when you are richest.The fault-finder will find faults in paradise.Love your life,poor as it is.You may perhaps have some
pleasant,thrilling,glorious hourss,even in a poor-house.The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the alms-house as brightly as from the rich man's abode;the snow melts before its door as early in the spring.I do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there,and have as cheering thoughts,as in a palace.The town's poor seem to me often to live the most independent lives of any.May be they are simply great enough to receive without misgiving.Most think that they are above being supported by the town;but it often happens that they are not above supporting themselves by dishonest means.which should be more disreputable.Cultivate poverty like a garden herb,like sage.Do not trouble yourself much to get new things,whether clothes or friends.Turn the old,return to them.Things do not change;we change.Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts.
不论你的生活如何卑贱，你要面对它生活，不要躲避它，更别用恶言咒骂它。它不像你那样坏。你最富有的时候，倒是看似最穷。爱找缺点的人就是到天堂里也能找到缺点。你要爱你的生活，尽管它贫穷。甚至在一个济贫院里，你也还有愉快、高兴、光荣的时候。夕阳反射在济贫院的窗上，像身在富户人家窗上一样光亮；在那门前，积雪同在早春融化。我只看到，一个从容的人，在哪里也像在皇宫中一样，生活得心满意足而富有愉快的思想。城镇中的穷人，我看，倒往往是过着最独立不羁的生活。也许因为他们很伟大，所以受之无愧。大多数人以为他们是超然的，不靠城镇来支援他们；可是事实上他们是往往利用了不正当的手段来对付生活，他们是毫不超脱的，毋宁是不体面的。视贫穷如园中之花而像圣人一样耕植它吧！不要找新的花样来麻烦你自己，无论是新的朋友或新的衣服，要找旧的，回到那里去。万物不变，是我们在变。你的衣服可以卖掉，但要保留你的思想。
你快乐吗？
