话说学校的一件事儿
Proper care and love
适度的爱
With good intention, our parents tend to shower us as much care and love as possible to save us the trouble and hardships they have once confronted. They arrange everything for us, and spare no efforts to pave the way to our success.
However, too much care and love can do harm to the children’s development. Definitely, we’ll need the experience of carrying our own schoolbags to detect the weight of knowledge; we’ll need the chances to make the bed and wash the clothes by ourselves to build the sense of self-reliance; we’ll need the opportunities to make our own choices to learn to be independent. Proper care and love are necessary for our growth.
孩子是父母的焦点，肩上承载着希望和责任。父母为孩子安排的许多事，毋庸置疑是为孩子铺平成功的道路；然而过多的关心和爱护反而会给孩子的成长带来坏处，学生需要自己背上书包感受知识的重量，需要独立成长，学会自己做决定。

Challenge yourself
挑战自己
An English speech contest was about to be held. The news was just like a stone thrown into a peaceful pool. Everone was facing a choice: to take it or not.
At first, I hesitated. Butafter much struggling, I wrote down my name with my heart beating wildly. I picked and chose and decided on the topic of “Clone man”. Then I got into the preparations. Eventually, I got myself into the best condition possible for me and did decently well on stage and made it to the final of the contest.
Faced with the challenges, some may choose to meet them while others may decide to escape, which will make a difference to their future respectively. The former will build up experience and knowledge and confidence to a brighter future for sure.
当我们听到下星期有英语演讲竞赛时，同学们热情高涨，每个人都面对一个选择，接受还是拒绝。在挣扎之后，我报名参赛，把主题定为“克隆人”，在比赛中我尽了最大的努力。这次经历让我受益匪浅，面对挑战，有人接受有人逃避，勇于迎接挑战，让我更有勇气面对未来。

Choice and Perseverance
选择+坚持
Last Wednesday, we were greatly honored to invite Mr. Xu, our principal as well as a famous educationist, to give a lecture to us students of Grade III. With a broad smile, Mr. Xu began with sharing his own experience, emphasizing the fatal importance of choice and perseverance. He told us that the more books we read, the wider vision we will have.After benefiting from the speech, we hold the firm belief that years of hard work will surely pay off in due time, sooner or later.
徐校长的演讲让我们意识到在人生旅程中，选择和坚持有着重要意义。看更多的书，打开自己的世界，不论时间早晚，付出的努力一定会给我们的人生中带来收获。
