1．It has been several week since I came to my new school．It was a clean，beautiful and modern one，with a large playground and an amazed digital reading-room．All the teachers are friendly and kindly．Among them，I like my English teacher best，who is enthusiastic but popular with us．He is also strict to us．He teaches us in an unusual way．Besides，he always avoids making us to feel embarrassed in class．All my classmates works hard．We're enjoying such new life and trying to develop us for the future．

8．I am a good mother to three children．I have tried never to let my job stand in the way of being a good parent．
I no longer consider myself as the center of the universe．I show up．I listen．I try to laugh．I am a good friend to my husband．I have tried to make marriage vows（誓言） mean what they say．I am a good friend to my friends，and they to me．Without them，there would be nothing to say to you today．
So here's what I want to tell you today：Get a life．A real life，not a desire of the next promotion，the bigger paycheck，or the larger house．
   Get a life in which you are not alone．Find people you love，and who love you．And remember that love is not leisure，it is work．Pick up the phone．Send an e-mail．Write a letter．And realize that life is the best thing and that you have no business taking it for granted．
It is so easy to waste our lives，our days，our hours，and our minutes．It is so easy to exist instead of to live． I learned to live many years ago．Something really，really bad happened to me，something that changed my life in ways，that，if I had had my choice，it would never have been changed at all．And what I learned from it is what，today，seems to be the hardest lesson of all．
I learned to love the journey，not the destination．I learned to look at all the good in the world and try to give some of it back because I believed in it，completely and totally．And I tried to do that，in part，by telling others what I had learned．
By telling them this：Read in the backyard with the sun on your face．Learn to be happy．And think of life as a deadly illness，because if you do，you will live it with joy and passion as it ought to be lived．

9．Every Wednesday，I go to Cantata Adult Life Services，a local retirement community in Brookfield，Illinois，US，with my classmates to do community service．
Our visits last about an hour，and we bring 25-30 students every time．We play board games and cards with the elderly while we're there．
You can watch all the movies and TV shows you want about"life back then"，but nothing compares to talking to the people who were actually there．Just hearing their stories has touched me in a way I never thought possible．
Whether it was talking to 98-year-old"Hurricane Hilda"about her glory days as a roller skater or chatting with Lou about the times she danced with a famous actor，I was completely mesmerized by every single memory the elderly wanted to share with me．Even those who don't have amazing memories make the experience fulfilling（充实的）．I remember visiting Mrs Robinson．She couldn't recall much about her past，but she told me she'd never forget how kind I was just to listen to her．It made me realize that it's the little things that make life worth living．
If there's one thing I've realized in my three years of visiting Cantata，it's that presence--just being there-means more than anything to many of them．And despite how busy our lives are，there's always time to make someone's day．
