Many students are the first time to be so far away form come to a foreign city a foreign campus facing so many foreign but friendly ty of activities bring us fresh air and pleasant busy with study and work enriches our lifehelping preventing our homesick.
Life in campus is different with that in elementary school and middle have much spare time dominated by our campus is just like another le from all corners of our country come together to form a big e are tears as well as have troubles but we are also learning to conquer become more and more brave and more and more are no longer the little baby that will never grow up in our parents are growing up day by day.
I love the life in our university. We have a new starting point a new origin and a period of a brand new freshmen life is se wait and see our brilliant achievement!
Tucked away in our subconscious is an idyllic vision. We see ourselves on a long trip that spans the continent. We are traveling by train. Out the windows, we drink in the passing scene of cars on nearby highways, of children waving at a crossing, of cattle grazing on a distant hillside, of smoke pouring from a power plant, of row upon row of corn and wheat, of flatlands and valleys, of mountains and rolling hillsides, of city skylines and village halls.
But uppermost in our minds is the final destination. On a certain day at a certain hour, we will pull into the station. Bands will be playing and flags waving. Once we get there, so many wonderful dreams will come true and the pieces of our lives will fit together like a completed jigsaw puzzle. How restlessly we pace the aisles, damning the minutes for loitering --waiting, waiting, waiting for the station.
Sooner or later, we must realize there is no station, no one place to arrive at once and for all. The true joy of life is the trip. The station is only a dream. It constantly outdistances us.
"Relish the moment " is a good motto, especially when coupled with Psalm 118：24："This is the day which the Lord hath made;we will rejoice and be glad in it. " It isn't the burdens of today that drive men mad. It is the regrets over yesterday and the fear of tomorrow. Regret and fear are twin thieves who rob us of today.
So stop pacing the aisles and counting the miles. In stead, climb more mountains, eat more ice cream, go barefoot more often, swim more rivers, watch more sunsets, laugh more, cry less. Life must be lived as we go along. The station will come soon enough.
I once got on a taxi of which the owner is a faithful reader of mine. On the hurtling bus, The driver asked me : “Mr.Lin, could you tell me what is meaning of living?”
He was the first one who asked me such a question about the life, and I was dumb to be asked suddenly.
Suddenly, the couplet which hanged on the wall of the auditorium of my middle school was floating on my mind.
The purpose of living is to develop the living quality of mankind.
(the purpose of living is to promote the living standard of mankind;)
The meaning of life is to create the supervene lives of universe.
(the meaning of life is to carry on the continuum of the universe)
And then, I talked to the driver, “The meaning of life is to make a difference in your mind and soul, meanwhile, do something good and devote yourself to the world everyday.”
When I have said all this, we were just gone through Renai Road, where were standing beautiful trees of the each side. It is there that I saw the pretty flower blooming on the ceiba trees. How beautiful they are.
When we are making progress, that means we are ‘blooming’for ourselves. Out willing of devoting to our world is a flower for the world.
There are many forms of life on earth: organisms, animals, plants, and human beings. Life is given to man only once. And there are many natural disasters that will destroy life. Since life is short and preeious, everyone wants to enjoy longevity.
The mode of life differes from person to person. A person's life may be one of great achievement. He may also lead a quiet life. A career man has a busy life. A self content man has an easy one. Yet everyone is writing his own life story with his actions.
The intelligent and diligent person makes his life full of vigor and vitality. He works and plays with zest. A lazy man's life is dull and spiritless. While in life he is lifeless.
As a youth, I choose to live a busy and meaningful life.

And as William Shakespeare said,
就像莎士比亚说过的一样，
“Time is very slow for those who want, very fast for those who are scared, very long for those who are sad, and very short for those who celebrate，but for those who love, time is eternal.”
“对想要它的人来说，时间很慢，对害怕它的人来说，时间很快，对悲观的人来说，时间很长，对充满欢愉的人来说，它又很短暂，但对于爱它的人来说，时间即是永恒。”
Compared to the universe, our lives are really short, just like a meter. But the meaning of life doesnt depend on its length but contributions. For example, Marie Curie, in order to find the radium, she devoted her whole life to the research. Though the radioactive element had shorter her life, she never gave up her mind to serve the world. According to her story, I conclude that the first meaning of life is contribution. The standard of judging a life isnt how much he asks for but how much he gives away.
The second meaning of life is struggling for our goals. Each of us has goals, such as longing for position, hoping for wealth and looking forward to be loved. However, the path leading to them isnt filled with roses. But no matter how tough to accomplish our dream we should never say die. If you really want to achieve them, please keep diligent and patient just like an English motto goes;“No pains ,no gains.”
The third meaning of life is happiness. Not only should we keep happy, but also bring enjoyment to others .For example, we can have an optimistic attitude which can affect the people in our surroundings. Besides, we are supposed to be ready to help others, because in this way we can make both us and them happy .I consider it an unchangeable truth that ‘Helping others creates happiness.
just want to say, the lives for us are limited, but we are able to make efforts to make it shine out .Believe it, though our lives are rather short, we can also make a hit .If we try our best, our lives will be meaningful as well.
Last month, I happened to watch an interview of a Chinese student studying abroad. At one point the hostess asked: "For how long have you been away from home?" "Three years," he said. "How do you keep in touch with your parents?" "We wrote emails," the young man replied proudly. "Then I guess your parents learned how to send an email just because of you, right?" Having heard this from the hostess, the young man was speechless for a long time. Indeed, in the world today, it is not easy for the elder generation to keep up to date with the rapid development of technology.
This story reminded me of my concerns when I first left home for college three years ago: My parents don't understand English. They couldn't identify the buttons marked in English on our remote controls. So when I was away from home, who would help them select Chinese subtitles when they wanted to watch a foreign movie on our DVD? My parents don't use pinyin, the phonetic symbols for Chinese. Therefore, they couldn't input Chinese characters into their cell phones using the keyboard. Without me, whom could they depend on when they needed to reply to a text message? I worried a lot, so before I left, I carefully prepared a flow chart on how to operate the DVD player, and stored as many template messages in my parents' phones as I could possibly think of.
Fortunately, my efforts did work for my parents. However, what makes me more optimistic is that society at large is becoming more concerned about the elder generation, and the fruit of technological innovation is no longer believed to be an asset only for the young people. Today, with simple Chinese instructions on the remote control, even my 80-year-old grandfather can play his favorite TV program on a DVD. Last year, with the money I earned from a part-time job, I bought my mother a new cell phone which supports handwritten messages instead of inputting words through a keyboard. And now, my mother no longer has to use the templates messages I've stored for her, instead, she now sends me messages as long as 300 words. The joy I have when reading those text messages is inexpressible, not only because of the words she writes, but also because our technology has indeed become a real blessing in her life.
Two years ago, the counter service in our neighborhood bank was replaced by an ATM station. With those intelligent machines, people can carry out all their regular banking services. My father, however, was not used to such a change. Thereafter, he always walked three blocks further to a bank with a counter to use their services. In the future, however, this will no longer happen, because when I went to that ATM station again last spring festival, I found a delightful change: the terminals there have adopted a voice guidance system. While I was there, I noticed a grey haired man using the voice instructions. And despite his hesitation between pressing the buttons, he left the bank with a satisfactory smile. What a marvel! My vision for the future was unfolding before my very eyes. At that moment, I rejoiced thinking of my father, someday, standing there using the banking service. I rejoiced thinking of myself that when I become old, the new inventions can still ease my life rather than making the life harde.
As everyone knows，English is very important has been used everywhere in the has become the most common language on Internet and for international trade. If we can speak English well，we will have more chance to use more and more people have taken notice of it，the number of the people who go to learn English has increased at a high speed.

I love English，it gives me a colorful dream.I hope I can travel around the world one day. With my good English，I can make friends with many people from different contries.I can see many places of great intrests.I dream that I can go to London，because it is the birth place of English.
I also want to use my good English to introduce our great places to the English spoken people，I hope that they can love our country like us.
I know，Rome was not built in a day. I believe that after continuous hard study，one day I can speak English very well.
If you want to be loved，you should learn to love and be lovable. So I believe as I love English everyday，it will love me too.
I am sure that I will realize my dream one day!
Recently, a professor of philosophy in the United States has written a book called Money and the Meanlng of Life. He has discovered that how we deal with money in our day-to-day life has more meaning than we usually think. One of the exercises he asked his students to do is to keep a record of every penny they spend for a week.From the way they spend their money, they can see what they really value in life.
He says our relation with others often becomes clearly defined when money enters the picture. You might have a wonderful friendship with somebody and you think that you are very good friends. But you will know him only when you ask him to lend you some money. If he does, it brings something to the relationship that seems stronger than ever before. Or it can suddenly weaken the relationship if he doesnt. This person may say that he has a certain feeling, but if it is not carried out in the money world, there is something less real about it.
People just have an idea of making more and more money, but what is it for? How much do I need for any given purposes in my life7 In his book, the professor uncovered an important need in modern society: to bring back the idea that money is an instrument rather than the end. Money plays an important role in the material world, but expecting money to give happiness may be missing the meaning of life.
