In order to accomplish this object one must be patriotic (love his country). I consider

16、 this an unchangeable truth.How can a student love his country (be patriotic)? I find my answer very simple and clear.

We must bear (keep) in mind that wasting time is equal to wasting your life.英国有句谚语说，时间就是金钱。我认为这是不对的。为什么？因为我们大家都

20、知道我们能够用工作赚钱，但无论如何却无法把时间争取回来。基于此种理由，我们可以说时间比钱钱更宝贵。许多人不知爱惜时光。这确实是可惜的。我们必须记住浪费时间等于浪费生命。 HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY 诚为上策There is an English proverb which says (saying) “Honesty is the best policy.” It signifies the importance of honesty.What are the benefits of honesty? If you are honest to others, they

21、 will be honest to you in return. When you are sad, they will comfort you. When you are in trouble, they will help you.There is no enumerating the evils of dishonesty here.

24、 exercise is played by team.如果我们的身体不强壮，我们做事的精神一定会十分迟钝。而且同时，我们也缺少足够的精力来读书。疾病只为侵击体弱的人而不是强壮的人。为什么我们的身体会不强壮呢？因为我们不注意运动。基于此种理由，我们学生必须时常在运动场做不同种类的运动。运动帮助我们强壮身体并避免疾病。它也教我们合作，因为大多数的运动都是团体游玩的。 I never write English diary every day.
