(passage 1)In the English Reading Week, one of my classmates recommended a quote to us, which goes like this: “Your future depends on many things, but mostly on you.” And, I am totally for it. Affected by many factors, such as surroundings, education background, living conditions and some other things, tomorrow is unknown to us. But that your future is in your hand is already known. So there is no doubt that you are the only master of your future.A 25-year-old young man, who lost his arms at an early age, won the Chinese Talent by playing the piano with his feet. Though disabled, he didn’t abandon himself to despair. On the contrary, he devoted all his energy to piano learning. Thanks to his hard work and determination, he can play it as well as normal people now. And I think he is a real strong man who has brightened his own future.(passage 2)In the English Reading Week, one of my classmates recommended a quote to us, which goes like this: “Your future depends on many things, but mostly on you.”As far as I’m concerned, I completely agree with the view. Of course, our future depends on many things such as our living environment, opportunities, luck, others’ help and etc. But it is we ourselves that determine our future. Our positive attitude, our determination, our confidence and our sense of discipline are the keys to our future.Madame Curie was a good example to us. In her times, women were not admitted to university in her motherland, Poland, so she was forced to leave her homeland and studied in France. She often said: we should believe every one of us can do something and above all we should believe in ourselves. It was her confidence that made her discover radium and later win the Nobel Prize.So I firmly hold the belief that our future is in our hands.Directions: Write an English composition in 120 - 150 words according to the instructions given below in Chinese. 上周一,你在一所小学观摩了小女孩Amy所在班级的两堂绘画课(如图所示),回家后你用英语写了一篇日记,内容包括:●对两堂绘画课的具体描述;●你从中获得的启发。
(passage 1) Monday FineThis morning I had a good chance to sit in on two art classes where Amy and her classmates did a good job.In the first class, the art teacher got her pupils to draw pictures in a fascinating way. A girl was allowed to “walk” a picture. Her brushes were her feet! In the second one, boys and girls were required to draw pictures carefully and skillfully. It seemed that all of them were interested in painting.The two art classes benefited me a lot, especially the first class.I think any education should attach great importance to pupil’s interest and creativity. Only by doing so can education play a key role in our life. Besides, we should also be strict with ourselves and do our work with great care.(passage 2) Monday FineIn the morning, I got up so early and after a quick breakfast I was very happy to observe two teachers’ teaching in a primary school.In the first art class, the teacher had a wonderful way of making his class lively. He asked his pupils to draw pictures creatively. What impressed me most was that a girl named Amy, instead of using her bushes, took off her shoes, apply some ink to her feet and then walk on the canvas. Cool! In the second one, the tutor required the boys and girls to draw pictures with great care and patience. The students did as told and they also drew beautiful pictures which I admired so much.These two classes left me deep in thought. Firstly, school education should inspire children to acquire knowledge creatively and happily. Secondly, we must also cultivate kids to be patient and be strict with them. It would be better to combine these two teaching methods.假如你是大学一年级新生李华。
