We send our children to school to prepare them for the time when they will be big and will have to
work for themselves. They learn their own language so that they will be able to tell others clearly what they
want and what they know, and understand what others tell them. They learn foreign languages in order to
be able to understand the people from other countries and make themselves understood. They learn
history to know something about human beings they meet every day. What they learn at school is, of
course, quite useful, but is that the only reason (原因) why they go to school?
No. There is more in education than just learning facts. We go to school, above all, to learn how to
learn, so that when we have left school, we can continue to learn. A man who really knows how to learn
will always be successful, because whenever he has to do something new, he will quickly teach himself
how to do it in the best way. The uneducated person, on the other hand, is either unable to do something
new, or does it badly. So the purpose (目的) of school is not just to teach the students these useful
subjects but teach the way to learn.

We all need a healthy environment, but we produce waste every day and it does harm to our environment. Though we are young, we can still do something to help. In fact, even the simplest everyday activities can make a real difference to the environment. Here are some ideas for you to live green life. Remember these three words: reduce, reuse and recycle. Reduce means"use less". Don't waste things. This saves money and reduces pollution and waste going into the environment. Before we buy something new, think if it is really necessary or maybe the old one will be just as good! When we do buy things, choose local products if possible, and try not to buy too many things from abroad. Reuse means"use again". Use things for as long as possible. When we buy things, make sure that they last a long time. We should take care of them so that they will last, and we should repair them if we can instead of throwing them away and buying new ones. Don't use a paper cup or a paper bag. It's better to use a china cup and a lunch box because you can use them again. Recycle means"change things into something else". Although it takes energy to change something into something else, it's better than throwing things away or burning them. Find out what can be recycled in your neighborhood and take part in recycling programmes. We should also buy products made from recycled materials, such as recycled paper, to help save trees. | |||||||||||||
