The answer is “No”. We should remember that we are not only measured by how many goals we’ve reached, but also by how we’ve acted, which means the process(过程)is also important.

Here is an example. Fruit is delicious. It takes trees a long time to bear it. In the process of growing, trees have to suffer from bad weather, insect bites and also intentional destruction(故意破坏) from human beings. So it is with us. Our life is like a journey. At the beginning, we set a destination（目标）, dreaming of it every night, but we should never forget that we spend most of our time on the journey. Unfortunately, many people only complain about the failure and then give up hope. In fact, it is failure that teaches us to be brave and stand on our own feet.

I myself deeply believe that only those who have experienced a lot can own the highly-valued character; only those who have taken a lot of adventures can have the chance to succeed. As the saying goes, “No pains, no gains.” We are still young, still full of energy, so why are we afraid of failure and why do we hesitate(犹豫)to take an adventure?

Young men, let’s forget results, leave out pains, and just look forward and don’t miss any chance on the journey!

The summer holiday is coming. I think it’s a good idea to travel abroad.

I hope I will have a good time there!

Gao was not alone. Many schools across the country asked students to keep exercising during the three weeks. These years, physical education (PE) test scores are now worth more on the Senior High School Entrance Examination (中考). In some cities in Jiangsu, the score is now up to 40 points.

Because of this, many schools have asked students to run on sunny days and exercise indoors if the weather is bad. Students need to plan their exercise every day. For example, boys are asked to finish the 1000-metre race and girls are asked to finish the 800-metre race. They need to do three sets of sit-ups (仰卧起坐) or push-ups (俯卧撑) each day. Students have to post exercise photos in their classes’ QQ group for the teachers to check after they finish exercising.

It is a big challenge for many students, but helps to make exercise a big part of their lives. Many of the students used to hate exercise, but now they are getting stronger and can run for a longer time or do more push-ups or sit-ups. Many of the students think they have built a strong mind through exercise and this will also help them a lot when they study.
