If were a Boy Again

英语写作范文-If I Were a Boy AgainIf I were a boy again, I would practice perseverance more often, and never give up a thing because it was or inconvenient. If we want light, we must conquer darkness. Perseverance can sometimes equal genius in its results. “There are only two creatures,”says a proverb, “Who can surmount the pyramids —the eagle and the snail.”If I were a boy again, I would school myself into a habit of attention; I would let nothing come between me and the subject in hand. I would remember that a good skater never tries to skate in two directions at once.The habit of attention becomes part of our life, if we begin early enough. I often hear grown up people say, “I could not fix my attention on the sermon or book, although I wished to do so”, and the reason is, the habit was not formed in youth.If I were to live my life over again, I would pay more attention to the cultivation of the memory. I would strengthen that faculty by every possible means, and on every possible occasion. It takes a little hard work at first to remember things accurately; but memory soon helps itself, and gives very little trouble. It only needs early cultivation to become a power.If I were a boy again, I would cultivate courage. “Nothing is so mild and gentle as courage, nothing so cr uel and pitiless as cowardice,” says a wise author.We too often borrow trouble, and anticipate that maynever appear.” The fear of ill exceeds the ill we fear.” Dangers will arise in any career, but presence of mind will often conquer the worst of them. Be prepared for any fate,and there is no harm to be feared.If I were a boy again, I would look on the cheerful side. Life is very much like a mirror： if you smile upon it, I smiles back upon you; but if you frown and look doubtful onit, you will get a similar look in return.Inner sunshine warms not only the heart of the owner, but of all that come in contact with it. “Who shuts love out, in turn shall be shut out from love.”Importance of learning very early in life to gain that point where a young boy can stand erect, and decline.If I were a boy again, I would school myself to say no more often.

Warm-up Questions: 1. What would you do if you were a boy/a girl again? 2. What dreams did you have when you were a child?

1 If I Were a Boy AgainIf I were a boy again, I would practise perseverance oftener, and never give up a thing because it was hard or inconvenient. If we want light, we must conquer darkness. Perseverance can sometimes equal genius in its results. "There are only two creatures," says a proverb, "who can surmount the pyramids--the eagle and the snail."If I were a boy again, I would school myself into a habit of attention;I would let nothing come between me and the subject in hand. I would remember that a good skater never tires toskate in two directions at once. The habit of attention becomes part of ourlife, if we begin early enough.I often hear grown-up people say, "I could not fix my attention on the lecture or book, although I wished to do so,"and the reason is, the habit was not formed in youth.If I were to live my life over again, I would pay more attention to the cultivation of the memory. I would strengthen that faculty by every possilbe means, and on every possible occasion. It takes a little hard work at first to remember things accurately;but memory soon helps itself, and gives very little trouble. It only needs early cultivation to become a power.If I were a boy again, I would look on the cheerful side. Life is very much like a mirror: if you smile upon it, it smiles back upon you; but if you frown and look doubtful on it, you will get a similar look in return. Inner sunshine warms not only the heartof the owner, but of all that come in contact with it. "Who shuts loveout, in turn shall be shut from love." If I were a boy again, I would school(像不像死固，死板固执) myself to say"No" oftener. I might write pages on the importance of learning very early in life to gain that point where a young boy can stand erect, and decline doing an unworthy act because it is unworthy.If I were a boy again, I would demand of myself more courtesy towards my companions and friends, and indeed towards strangers as well. The smallest courtesies along the rough roads of life are like the little birds that sing to us all winter long, and make that season of ice and snow more endurable.Finally, instead of trying hard to be happy, as if that were the sole purpose of life, I would, if I were a boy again, try still harder to make others happy.2. Ways of CommunicationWhen you speak, write a letter, or make a telephone call, your words carry a message. People communicate with words. But do you know people also communicate without words? A smile on your face shows you are happy or friendly. Tears in your eyes tell others that you are sad.When you raiseyour hand in class, the teacher knows you want to say something or ask questions. You shake your head and people know you are saying No. You nod and people know you are saying Yes.Other things can also carry messages. For example, a sign at the bus stop helps you to know which bus to take.A sign on the wall of your school helps you to find the library. Signs on the doors tell you where to go in or out. Have you ever noticed that there are a lot of signs around you and that you receive messages from them all the time?People can communicate in many other ways. An artist can use his drawings to tell about beautiful mountains, the blue seas and many other things. Books are written to tell you about all the wonderful things in the world and what other people are thinking about.3 The Fight Against Youth SmokingSince I took office I've done everything in my power to protect our children from harm. We've worked to make their streets and their schools safer, to give them something positive to do after school and before their parents get home. We've worked to teach our children that drugs are dangerous, illegal and wrong.Today I want to talk to you about the historic opportunity we now have to protect our nation's children from an even more deadly threat: smoking. Smoking kills more people every day than AIDS, alcohol, car accidents, murders, suicides, drugs and fires combined. Nearly 90 percent of those smokers lit their first cigarette before they turned 18. Consider this: 3000 children start to smoke every day illegally, and 1000 of them will die sooner because of it.4. The Value of TimeTime, says a proverb, is money. This means that every moment well-spent may putsome money into our pockets. If our time is usefully employed, it will either turn outsome useful and important piece of work which will fetch its price in the market, or itwill add to our experience and increase our capacities so as to enable us to earn moneywhen the proper opportunity comes. Let those, who think nothing of wasting time, remember this.Our life is nothing more than our time. To kill time is therefore a form of suicide. We are shocked when we think of death, and we spare no pains, no trouble, and no expense to preserve life. But we are too often indifferent to the loss of an hour or of a day, forgetting that our life is the sum total of the days and of the hours we live. A day or an hour wasted is therefore so much life forfeited. Our life is a brief span measuring some seventy or eighty years in all. But nearly one third of this has to be spent in sleep; some years have to be spent over our meals; some in making journeys on land and voyages by sea; some in merrymaking; some in watching over the sick -beds of our nearest and dearest relatives. Now if all these years were to be deducted from the term over which our life extends, we shall find about twenty or thirty years at our disposal for active work. Whoever remembers this can never willingly waste a single moment of his life.All time is precious; but the time of our childhood and of our youth is more precious than any other portion of our existence. For those are the periods when alone we can acquire knowledge and develop our capacities. If we allow these morning hours of life to slip away, we shall never be able to recoup the loss. Just as money laid out at interest doubles and trebles itself in time, so the precious hours of childhood and youth, if properly used, wil yield us incalculable advantages.5. Touchy TopicsImmediately after introductions are made there is usually a period of time in which impersonal or trivial subjects are discussed. This type of conversation, called "small talk", is important because it often helps to keep conversations and can lead into interesting ually people start small talk by asking about things like family, work, school or sports. They ask each other questions like “Do you live in this area?” “Do you have any brothers or sisters?” ”Where do you work?” “What school do you go to?” and “Do you like sports?”. It is also common for people to ask such questions as “Where do you come from?” “How do you like living here?” and “What do you do?”. These are polite questions. They are not personal or private. But it is uncommon and considered impolite to ask questions about a person’s salary, such as “How much money do you make?”. They don’t ask how much money someone paid for something,for example, “How much does your house cost?”. It is OK toask children how oldthey are, but it is not polite to ask older people about their age, especially women. It is not polite to ask people questions about politics or religion either unless you know them very well. People don’t ask unmarried people, “Why are you single?”, and they don’t ask a married couple with no children, “Why don’t you have any children?’. These are generally considered t oo personal for first meetings.”6 What Money Is For?Money is a blessing when it is used rightly. The same is true of all other good things. They bless if used well; they curse when abused. Many people do not seem to know what money is for. They want it above all things. But they want it to spend chiefly on themselves.Some boys appear to think that money is to buy good clothes and foods, toys and amusements. Some also seem to think that money is to buy leisure with. They consider that the highest happiness is to live without work. But that is not at all what money is for. We should get nearer the truth than that.Money is our circulating medium in trade. Families need it to buy things they must have. In this way society exists, and the world of traffic prospers.Money means food, clothing, dwelling schools, books, wise recreation and the means of doing good.Of course money is not something to hoard. Its value is in its use. A million gold dollars would have been worth no more than a million stones to Robinson Crusoe on his island home. There was nothing to buy, and therefore, no use for money. And so money that is simply hoarded is of no value. It does not purchase the necessaries of life, nor relieve those who are in want. That is not what money is for.The Bible says that "the love of money is the root of all evil". That is, money sought for its own sake is the cause of all sorts of evil--lying, stealing, cheating, robbery, and even murder. This is the best reason for avoiding the love of money.。
