英语作文In what ways are you impressed by Benjamin Franklin!.doc

writer, inventor, diplomat, businessman, musician, scientist, humorist, civic leader, international celebritygenius, he has explored the life of a .*unit 1in what ways are you impressed by benjamin franklin?from the section of benjamin franklins autobiography, he is a kind and real figure in my heart. he knew how to enjoy life. in the text, he referred to “then i turn and went down chestnut street and part of walnut street, eating my roll all the way this was therefore the first house i was in or slept in, in philadelphia”. maybe these sentences couldnt count for a lot; however, i understood his attitude of life when i read something about him, especially after he became a celebrity. such as, his motto “content and riches seldom meet together. riches take out, contentment i had rather” is my best explanation. although he had been a famous person, he also kept a good life style and remained the fine nature of human beings. everyone knows that appetency is an abyss, the more to want, the more to pursue. he said it is neither weather nor reputation but tranquility and occupation which give happiness.another example is the experience of his visit. one day, he gave a visit to his teacher. he bruised his head when he came into the door of his teachers. immediately, he understood that “to be a man must be modest.” only a trifle can produce the big wisdom. i like another maxim, namely, “sell not virtue to purchase wealth, nor liberty to purchase power”. also, he set an example to seek for knowledge strongly. 06 class a 余海燕do you love life? then do not squander time; for thats the stuff life is made of.the sentence above is a famous saying of benjamin franklin. franklin lived a poor childhood but he refused to live a poor life forever. he knew how to save time, so he knew how to change his life then. though he has no chance to go to school, he used his part time to study hard. but most of the young men waste time everyday. they get chance to learn more, but they dont know where the goals are. they do not realize that to learn knowledge is to fulfill themselves. they just consider study as a duty or a tool to get money. for that most students do not know what to do in the future, and they become passive in study. they cannot put knowledge into practice. then the interest in learning is missing, the future seems missing, too. franklin is a positive man. his story tells us that though we are living in the lowest class of society, we can change our position by persistent efforts. on the journey to philadelphia, there were many setbacks and each of them might make a weak-willed man fail in his pursuit of success. but franklin never gave up his goal - philadelphia, so he got achievement there last. so not be lured by temporary easiness is a good lesson. what i have learned from franklins autobiography is that if we want to get success in one field, we should set up a goal first, and then persist in it. 06 class a 任礼康my impression on benjamin franklineveryone has different growing experiences. at length, these experiences become mans treasure and have profound influence on their whole lives. therefore, the experiences of benjamin franklin become an important factor of his success. in my eyes, franklin is an industrious, pragmatic and aspirant man. in order to pursue freedom and independence, he could take positive actions to leave home and stick to his plans. i believe that i have never had such courage to leave home and depend on myself. on his way to philadelphia, franklin overcame every difficulty. although he was young, he was very strong and clever. when he had no good idea, he asked an old womans advice on his own initiative. thus, he got the help from kind people and avoided some troubles. franklin had his own principles: he did his utmost to return these people who helped his. at first, franklin gave a shilling to the boatman for his passage. although they refused it on account of his having owned all the way, he insisted on their taking it. on the other hand, even if he was poor, and hungry, he was warm-hearted. when he saw a woman and her child in the boat, he shoed his sympathy to them and gave them the left two rolls.after leaving home, he had plentiful and unusual experiences. he began to become adult and dependent on untiring effort and firm belief to get success. his growing course also embodied the spirit to take adventure. one sentence which impressed me most is that a man is sometimes is more generous when he has little money than he has plenty.from the story of franklin, i learn that we should have the courage of our convictions and do what we want to do, because we just have chance and life once. 06 class a 张萍in what ways are you impressed by benjamin franklin?these two pages mainly describe the journey franklin undertook to philadelphia. though the journey was very hard and full of difficulty and uncertainty, he insisted on going for it. there was no doubt that he once hesitated to go further and wanted to go back, however, he still went further to seek for his belief and dream. it was obvious that he was a man filled with persistence and dream. however hard the journey was, he still went on, because he wanted to be himself, to do something successful and to leave far away from his serious brother. on the way to philadelphia, he met with different people, and he was able to get on well with them. whats more, he overcame surmount difficulty. for instance, he had little money and no relatives there, but under such circumstance, he could still go further to realize his dream. when he arrived in philadelphia, he was so hungry that he bought something to eat with his little money. but when he saw two people were also hungry, he gave his food to them. from this, we can see he was generous and kind.from above, its obvious that he is persevering, generous, kind and strong. he never gave up his belief and dream. and we can conclude that ones success is accidental, rather it results from persevering efforts. at last, when we are confronted with difficulties, we should be brave to accept the challenge and take advantages. in such way, his personality and his perseverance impressed me greatly. class a 金丽娟in what ways are you impressed by benjamin franklin?franklins personal experience struggling for his goal impressed me deeply. whats more, his endeavors deserved success. although he was born of obscure and only experienced two-year education in elementary school, he learned by himself and really worked hard. when there were obstacles on the way to his learning, neither did he give up nor disassociated him from his dream. from his autobiography, especially the experiences of getting to philadelphia, i realize that there is no so-called genius. with diligence and hard work, people are sure to succeed. so when we look back again at his life, its no wonder that he was of omnipotence who was a great writer, a scientist, a politician and an inventor enrolled one. and this important person took part in the draft of “the declaration of independence”. there is a saying emerging in my mind after i read the excerpt, “we always admire the beauty of flowers, but its sprout was watered by tears of struggle and rained by blood of sacrifice”. i think its a good reflection of franklins achievement. compare with his experience of striving for his dream, what i have gone through was only the corner of an iceberg. even though im nobody now, i believe that as long as i hold on my beliefs and work hard all the time, i could realize my dream someday. class a 熊丽in what ways are you impressed by benjamin franklin?franklins journey from boston to philadelphia is dangerous and difficult, but he never gave up. instead he encouraged himself to overcome all kinds of difficulties. his persistence and ambition impress me.although he brought little money and food with him, he stuck to leave for philadelphia because he wanted to obtain freedom there, and he was eager to get rid of his brothers arbitrary power. during his journey, he stood cold and hunger; he didnt come back when he missed the boat. in this situation, he chose to wait for another boat although it would come after two days. in a word, i am impressed by his positive attitude to get over difficulties. in our life and study, its no denying that well be in trouble sometimes. some of us help ourselves out, but others have inclination to depend on others or even give up. after reading this passage, i know how to confront difficulties and how to deal with them. calm down and come up with the ways to solve problems but not to escape from them. if we dont face our difficulties, others wont help us. and as a result, we may be in a bad mood everyday.now i really understand that those who can live a happy life mostly rely on themselves to deal with their trouble in their life. i remember i missed my parents so much when i was in trouble. i always thought they could help me out. but now im far away from my home, i have realized that i must do everything well by myself. 06 class a 杨春英in what ways are you impressed by benjamin franklin?benjamin franklin gives us much enlightenment. there is no doubt that he is one of the most outstanding and excellent celebrities in my mind. i admire him, not because he is a great writer, scientist, politician and inventor, but because he possesses the spirit of independence, persistence and dare to fight against fate. i was profoundly affected by that kind of spirit. he was born in an obscure family and left school at the age of 12. benjamin franklin just received two years education and began his hard life. he always went to the great pains to reach his goals. of course, he was awarded by what he paid fro his life. benjamin franklin became a owner of printing factory and made important contributions to various fields. a versatile genius never gave up and gave in to the hard life. at last he did it. people all around the world know his name. his experience manifests the saying “where there is a will, there is a way”. i believe that god help those who help themselves. what i learn from him is a kind of spirit, the attitude toward life and the pursuit of ideas. i will take pains to adhere to my belief and my attitude toward life and never give up. 06 class a 吴佳斌in what ways are you impressed by benjamin franklin?there are millions of people in the same situation as benjamin franklin was. he suffered from his brother when he worked as an apprentice for his family business. he learned to use violent power from his brother. he was solidly determined to stick on his own belief which led his indiscreet disputations about the religion and situation that no one would employ him in his hometown as a printer. in this passage, i also fixed my eyes on this sentence “she was very hospitable, gave me a dinner of beef with great goodwill, accepting only a pot of ale in return”. being a prison-breaker, franklin didnt have much with him, but he still remembered one noble principle: be grateful and pay back, which i consider to be the distinguishing difference between loser and successor. if a man is kind-hearted, determined and appreciative, how can god dislike his success? id like to finish my passage with two of franklins sayings “god helps those who help themselves,” and “help you, help me”.06 class a 王猛“if you would not be forgotten, as soon as you are dead and rotten, either write things worth reading, or do things worth the writing.” b. franklinamerica has never forgotten benjamin franklin because he did both. he lived these words of wisdom by writing as much as he possibly could and by doing even more.benjamin franklin was one of

are you impressed by benjamin franklin?benjamin franklin impressed me by his spirit of fighting for the faiths and truths.when i was a child, i read the famous story of benjamin franklin. in the story, he used a kite to capture the electrical fluid form lightning. after i finished reading the story i thought it an interesting and exciting thing. i even had a plan to test it. luckily, i changed my mind because i heard the news about an unlucky man killed by lightning. at that moment, i knew this kind of experiment is extremely dangerous .as a wise man, franklin knew it because many people were killed by lightning in his times. however, he did it. in fact, he did many other great things at the risk of his own life. we all know that he drafted the declaration of independence and was one of the signers, and he is a great scientist and inventor. all of these results are linked with his spirit of fighting for faiths and truths. when i am in trouble, i often use his spirit to encourage myself. 06 class b 唐艺凌confidence and perseverancebenjamin franklin was a great man! there is no denying that he was successful. however, we should know that he also went through many difficulties and hardships. from his experience, we can learn much lesson. in my opinion, the most important ones are his confidence and perseverance. whatever one does, one should do it with confidence. if one had no confidence, there is little possible that one should ever achieve anything, especially when one is faced with drawbacks or hardships. we should believe in the proverb, “where there is a will, there is a way.” confidence is the premise for fulfilling a task successfully.of all the advantages, i think that perseverance plays the greatest role in ones success. in ones life journey, one faces many unfavorable situations. whatever the odds, the journey has to continue. one who possesses perseverance reaches the destination of success. the more one has this quality, the greater the success he will achieve. the man who has perseverance does not give up after a failure. he tries again and therefore, learns from his mistakes.all men are born equal and nobody is destined to always succeed or fail in his life. if a person is confident and determined, he will realize his dream no matter how poor, humble or unlucky he may be. 06 class b 王晓燕my opinion benjamin franklinas a world famous person, benjamin franklin gave us many good examples during his whole life. his experience from 12 to 24 is my favorite.generally speaking, we lose many good habits such as working hard today, but we can get a lot more from benjamin franklin. its hard to say we can solve all kinds of problem without depending on our parents when we were 12, even 20, but franklin did. in my opinion, parents should encourage their children to read the story about young franklin, because his special experience could teach us how to become a successful man in this world. today, many young people, especially the senior school students dont want to continue their study. there all kinds of wonderful things attracting them. but if we are go back to the experience of franklin, we get to know he studies harder than many people do so that he can get a big achievement. as an apprentice in the printery, franklin still went on his study and used the knowledge to realize his dream about his career and his country.in a word, benjamin franklin made a good example to young people. we get to know what the real important thing is during our life from him. that is experience.06 class b 谷燕i know benjamin franklin in the primary school. we read an article about franklin from the textbook which named “the nature and science”. the book told us some scientists story and some of their inventions. at that time, he was a great scientist in my heart, because he dared to collect electricity and did experiment by himself. his spirit on science was so precious that i venerated him very much. this is my first impression on him-he was famous as a scientist.the other thing that let me know his another role was also the textbook. our history book mentioned that he participated in drafting the declaration of independence. his role was a politician at this time. through this study i knew him as an important character in american history.i found out benjamin was an almighty man. he was not only a great scientist, a famous politician, but also a litterateur. his literature have a big effect on early american literature .all the knowledge i got about him derived from the textbook, but he impressed me deeply. the contributions he made to american and human being was self-giving. and a
