Future and Today

It is well known that everyone has his own dream as well as his own future. But do you know what future really is? I have to say that future is now. That is to say we must treasure every minute now. If we want to have a bright future, we should know how important time is and use it well.

There is an old English saying: “Gain time, gain life.” Then what’s time? Time is something that we can’t see or touch, but we can feel it passing by. Time is always with us. When we are at table, time passes; when we play, time goes by unnoticeable. We always say “Time is money”, but time is even more precious(珍贵的)than money, because when money is spent , we can earn it back. But if time is gone away, it will never return. So, some of us even say time is priceless(无价的).

We should always remember: future is now. For us students, we should try our best to work hard in order to create a great future of our own. We should make the best use of every hour and be the master of today. We should do everything before us as well as possible. And never put off what can be done today till tomorrow.

As we all know, “Time and tide wait for no man.” If you waste today, you will regret tomorrow. So from now on, work hard. Tomorrow will be better, and your future will be brighter. Remember: “No pains, no gains.” Today’s hard work is the cause of tomorrow’s harvest.

Dear Jenny,
How’s it going? Are you busy with your study these days?
I’ve been back at school   41  nearly four weeks. I’m very glad to tell you that great   42  have taken place in our school this term. First of all, we’re asked to “clear our plates” when having our meals and say   43  to wasting. Some of us used to order more than what we could eat. That was a big waste of food. Now we need to    44  the food we order. We should also stop wasting in some other ways. For example, we should turn off the lights when we    45  the classroom. And our school has opened up some fields for us to learn how to grow vegetables. Each class is given a small garden and our class has decided to grow some tomatoes and beans( 豆类) in our    46  time. I think that’ll be very interesting. Maybe I’ll be able to    47  you some beans we’ve grown by ourselves next time! What’s more, we have only two classes in the afternoon    48  we have more time for after-school activities. I’m one of the traffic safety volunteers in our school. After school, we take turns to  go to the streets near our school and ask people to    49  the traffic rules.
I think we are having a different school life now!
Please write back soon and tell   50  more about your school.
Yours,
Wang Wei

We kids have different ways to get in touch with each other now. And for the old, they’d like to go to the market or     26      each other’s houses, but for the young, we kids needn’t follow the     27     of doing so.

The easiest way for us to get in touch and make    28     is to use the Internet services, like QQ. A lot of websites such as www.qq.com have     29    in the last few years and offered such kinds of     30     for free. So we can make friends    31     through the Internet. Maybe we do not    32    all these “friend” well. We add friends only    33    we seem cooler with more friends online.

Then how do we kids keep in touch with friends online? We make it by posting our     34      to each other. At times , “friends”     35     “be missing” for months without a message. Is this the friendship in the 21^st century?

Of course, using these Internet services is not     36    for saying “ Hi, what’s up?” Some of us have found long-lost classmates and friends     37    these websites. And at times we     38  a time to go to a movie or get together. What’s more, we kids can      39     our friends’ favourite music when we are on the Internet.

Believe it or not, these Internet services will be    40     for a while, and it is really a convenient way for us to keep in touch.
