Youth

Youth is not a time of life; 
it is a state of mind; 
it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; 
it is a matter of the will, q quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; 
it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.

Youth means a tempera-mental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. 
This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20. 
Nobody grows old merely by a number of years. 
We grow old by deserting our ideals. 

Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.
Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spring back to dust. 

Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being's heart the lure of wonder, the unfailing childlike appetite of what's next and the joy of the game of living. 

In the center of your heart and my heart there is a wireless station: so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite, so long are you young. 

When the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old, even at 20, but as long as your aeirals are up, to catch waves of optimism, there is hope you may die young at 80.

How we could look at things differently and think differentl

The Science of Getting Rich:

  You are formally invited to join a discussion group that makes you think and speak, we are all working professionals who care about life and the society, getting rich is not a guilty thing to talk about and do about, it’s an essential education we need to receive in order to balance our lives, it’s certainly not materialistic to be rich, you can be rich in ways you want and in ways you want your lives to be, reading this book and joining our discussion would make you think about yourself and how you would make you and the society different by thinking differently ! Getting Rich is simply a concept, what's important is that you learn to think differently, openly, and creatively.

Blowing in the Wind

How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
How many times must the cannon balls fly
Before they're forever banned?
The sanswer, my firend, is blowing in the wind,
The answer is blowing in the wind. 


How many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
How many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
How many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died?
The answer, my firned, is blowing in the wind,
The answer is blowing in the wind.


How many years can a mountain exist 
Before it's washed to the sea?
How many years can some people exist 
Before they're allowed to be free?
How many times can a man turn his head,
Pretending he just doesn't see?
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind,
The answer is blowing in the wind.

The road Not Taken

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, 
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;


Then took the other, as just as fair, 
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,


And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.


I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I --
I took the one less traveled by, 
And that has made all the  difference.

My Heroes.... By Ruth Su

Congratulate the 3th winner of  2009 Area C3 Prepared Speech  Contest-- Ruth Su!  

And thank her to share her script to us


My Heroes
Thirty years agoMy dad was handsome, rich, and generous to everybody.
He was from rags to riches and won a nice reputation among neighbors.
 
At that time, my father could afford my brothers and I to learn more talentswe learned calligraphy and played the piano since from kindergartenlike little princess and prince lived in a wealthy house.
 
Happy times didn’t last long. After my grandma passed away my dad’s business fell and went bankrupt. To raise his familyhe became a labor in a small factory. However, misfortunes never come singly. Cancer of the rectum attacted my painstaking father unexpectedly. But after surgeryhe returned to his regular work soon.
 
I admire his courage and strong will. Poverty and disease didn’t defeat my father.
 
He is a life fightermy fatherand my first hero.

the least we can do..

"The least we can do is give some time to help others."

若要表達某人起碼該做的事,或能盡的微薄心意,這是很棒的句型。

The least we can do is give her some spending money for her trip.
The least we can do is invite them over for dinner.

no matter the cause..

No matter the cause, embarrassment is a powerful, uncomfortable emotion.

這句的起頭是將 no matter what the cause may be 縮短,意思是「不論起因為何」。縮短的片語,簡潔明瞭。

No matter the cause, Billy refuses to go to his uncle's house.
No matter the cause, troubled children are hard to teach.

fall

On this holiday, which falls close to the autumn equinox, the moon is at its fullest and brightest.

當說明某個節日是幾月幾號,最直截了當的方式是用 is on +日期。不過 falls on 也是一種表達方式。

—Mary's birthday falls on a Saturday this year, so let's have a picnic at the park.
—Lunar New Year Day falls on a different day every year.

left

He is determined to save the kingdom from the gloom that has left the king brokenhearted.

left(或 leave)的意思不是離開,倒是「導致或造成」,同學常用 make 或 cause 這些字,但用 left(或 leave)代換也不錯喔。

—The long journey left John very tired.
—Helen's tests results left her feeling discouraged.

some

That's why it's been a part of the government-backed American school lunch program for some 60 years.

some 意指「相當大的數量」,因此在這句使用 some 一字的目的為強調六十年是一段相當長的時間。

—Everyone has been busy working on the project for some time.
—May and Ivy have been studying English for some six years.

..for yourself

Would you like to see for yourself?

這個用法的意思為一個人必須親自目睹一個情況以便充份了解或相信某事。

—Come over to my house and see for yourself what I'm talking about.
—If you climb up the tree you can see the fireworks for yourself.
