2.My grandparents actively practiced simplicity.They both grew up in very large families and lived through the Great Depression.Saving for a rainy day and avoiding superfluous consuming was their life philosophy.Rather than seeking fulfillment through material items,they chose to spend really simple life together,with family and in nature.Over the years my grandparents noticed dramatic changes in their community.Every year more farmland was destroyed to build larger and larger homes.As real estate prices rose,many of their neighbors sold their little homes and land.Soon theirs were the only small house on the block,surrounded by a sea of mansions.My grandparents built and lived m a small 600-square-foot cottage for most of their adult lives.Lots of family members encouraged my grandparents to expand their little old house.But they didn't want a bigger place.They loved their little house and were content with what they had.
My grandparents avoided consumptive(浪费的)lifestyle by painting and repairing the house themselves.They lived in a small home,but had a huge garden.They loved gardening and planting because it reduced their grocery bill,improved their health,and gave them an excuse to be outside.They also reused and recycled everything.For instance,they had driven the same car for over 15years and didn't buy a new one until the old Chevrolet was worn out.
Through their example I learned an important lesson:It is possible to live a simple and fulfilling life.My grandparents taught me that living a simple life isn't about self-deprivation.Instead,it's about giving yourself the time,freedom,and money to pursue your dreams.Becoming debt free,downsizing to a smaller home,and going car-lite(减少用车频率)are a few ways to take control of your life and start pursuing your dreams.

Dear Editor of the school newspaper,
I contribute to your newspaper to introduce something about the recent class meeting of mine.
Our class has held a heated debate about whether going abroad or staying at home for college education recently.
Some students think that studying abroad is a good choice because there are lots of famous colleges abroad.The environment there is nice and quiet.But the expense of studying abroad is rather high.Others prefer to study home.They believe that domestic colleges have excellent teams of teachers,the teaching equipment is advanced,and the tuition is lower.However,chances to practice are not as many as studying abroad.
As far as I am concerned,I choose domestic colleges.Although the domestic university may not be as good as the foreign university,culture difference is a big problem.To study abroad,you must get over the obstacle of language and differences in behavior and habits.
Yours,
Li Jin.
