Have you ever thought about some deep questions in your life such as TO BE OR NOT TO BE? In today’s English class, we had a hot discussion about "What would you do if you had only one day left? "It seemed that different people had different opinions on this. In my class, most students said that they would like to be home and help parents with the housework, they wanted to show their parents the love ,because they seldom showed love to their parents before. Wang Yizhou said,“If I had only one day left, I would want to do something different such as helping others,”which inspired(激励)a lot of students and teachers. He said we should do something meaningful such as volunteering to the world. Only a few students said they would do nothing but have the last rest at home. They had too much work to do every day and they needed a rest.
We had different ideas, but we all knew that we must cherish(珍爱)our life. At last, the teacher summed up(总结)our discussion: We should spend our limited(有限的)life doing something meaningful and try to make the best use of our time. Never wait for the last day to come.
