1. Actions speak louder than words.When I first look at the cartoon, I can't help laughing at the hen who seems to be seriously making a foolish announcement to the public that she always lays eggs, smooth and round and never without eggwhite and yolk inside the shell.However, when I start to study the cartoon more carefully, I find something significant in it and gradually I come to Understand the author' intention.     Nowadays,almost all trades and professions are repeatedly making sincere promises to people: government people assure that they are noble and clean and will serve people heart and soul,merchants smilingly swear that the products they sell are of superior quality, genuine instead of false, life-time maintenance guaranteed and the cheapest market price,etc. Year after Year, such prormises are repeated. I wonder why they take so much trouble to boast loudly about their obligations and duties. People believed them at first, but gradually became awakened because they have found some dishonesty in such bombing promises.     "Actions speak louder than words." The hen is foolish enough to make her egg-promise, why shouldn't those nonsense-makers become cleverer?2.Two heads are better than one.We know that two heads are better than one. It is always better to work with another person to solve a problem.In our daily lives,We can meet many different problems.Some problems are difficult to solve. For example, when I learn math or other subjects,I often meet some difficult exercise. First , I will think of this question and try to work it out by myself. If I couldnt do it by myself,I will ask my classmates or my teacher for help. They always give me some useful advice. That means we should learn to co-operate with others. We can gain more knowledge and information from others, we can learn some good ways to study, we can know more ideas about the same question, we can also save some time and energy.3.An early bird catches worms.One day,I want go to my favorite library to find a place to surf the internet or do some reading . The library is open at 8 oclock. I got up at seven.Then ,I ate my breakfast.I took the No.7 bus to the library at seven forty. I thought time was  still  early.I was merry and unhurried on the road. However ,it seems that i counted  my chickens before they are hatched .When I got there,there were too many people to have a seat for me ! To our surprise ,the situation on the second floor is the same as the first !                            So ,it is obvious that an early bird often catches the worm . When we want to do sth., we should make full preparation, and take actions much earlier.We all should be early birds !.4.A friend in need is a friend indeed.Today I want to tell us a small story. Two friends were hiking when they encountered a bear. Frightened and thinking only of himself, one of the hikers climbed a tree. With no time to hide, the other hiker threw himself on the ground and pretended to be dead. The bear approached（靠近） and sniffed（嗅） around his head. The man remained（保持） calm, holding his breath until the bear walked away. With the bear out of sight, the hiker in the tree came down. He asked his friend if the bear had said anything, since the bear had put its mouth to his friends ear. “As a matter of fact,” the hiker who had been on the ground replied, “it told me not to trust people who abandon（抛弃） their friends in difficult times.”A friend in need is a friend indeed. We should be honest and sincere to our friends. When they are in trouble ,we should give our hands and our love.Friendship is the most valuable treature in our lives.5.A journey of a thousand miles begains with a single step. A journey of a thousand miles begains with a single step.Roman is not built in one day. If you want to be successful,you should do every small things best from now on.(healthy living habits, learning habits)6.A lazy youth, a lousy age.My mother often says,"A lazy youth,a lousy age."I think so,too.When my mother was young,education was not very good.Most of her classmates went to work after leaving middle school.But my mother thought she had little knowledge,so she went on studing.She studied very hard.At first,she wasnt good at study.But she never gave up. Finally,she became successful.Now,she is a senior engineer.From my mother's story,I know that I should be hardworking when I am young. We should try our best to learn more good things when we are young.Its a stage to make preparation for our future. A tall building must have a good foundation. No pains, no gains.Hard work brings its reward. If you want your future to be bright, please work hard now.7.A life without a friend is a life without a sun.A life without a friend is a life without a sun. Friendship is one of the most important things in everyone's life.Friends are who changes your life just by being a part of it, who makes you believe that there really is good in the world, who convinces you that there really is an unlock door just waiting for you to open it.When youre down, friends lift you up. When you lose your way, friends guide you and cheer you up.I like staying with friends. Because friends are always give me a helping hand when in difficulty.Of course, I will treasure（珍惜） my friendship no matter what.8.All men cannt be first.You cant be an Apple Loved by All PeopleAn attractive apple got ripe and loved by many people. It happened to meet an old man on the street one day. “Do you love me?” it asked with the most charming smile.“No.” answered the old man.“Have you never heard of the saying one apple a day, keep the doctor away from me?”“I dont care. Because I dont like your taste at all.”The apple got disappointed.Yes! As an apple, even the best one in the world, cant be loved by everybody. Everyone has its own taste and things can change at any second. Sometimes we feel down for not accepted by others. “Perhaps Im not that perfect yet”, we begin to blame ourselves, getting more and more frustrated. Thats cruel. Its not your fault not to be appreciated. Many people walk in and out of your life, but very few will leave footprints in your heart. You cant be 100% perfect, anyway, and you dont have to be.Remember, dont set your goals by what other people consider important. You cant be an apple loved by all people. All that you can do is trying to be the best apple and letting others do the judging.9.Dont climb a tree to look for fish.Can you get fish from a tree? Of course not. Its very important to find the right way and goal to finish one thing. Because goals can help you do and experience every meaningful thing you hope for in life. Instead of letting life happen to you, goals allow you to make your life happen. By setting goals you are taking control of your life. It is like having a map to show where you want to go. A driver with an aim arrives at the destination without any waste of time or wrong turns. On the contrary, a driver with no aim drives aimlessly around, never getting anywhere and just using up gas and oil. Winners in life set goals and follow through on them. They decide what they want and then get there by making plans and setting goals. Goals ara not difficult to set and they are not difficult to reach. It is up to you to find out what your goals, ideals and visions really are. With a clear direction, and with certain plans, you will straightly get what you want. 10.Dont put off till tomorrow what should be done today.When we were at young age,we have been told that mever put off untill tomorrow what you can do today. However, there are still many people who like putting off the things they should do today until tomorrow. They have no plans for their work and their time. As a result, they will not accomplish their goals in the end. For instance, one Sunday I felt so tired after having a football match that I did not finish my homework even at night. I thought I could get up earlier to go to school the next morning so that I could finish my homework before class. But the next morning I was not able to get to school in time because of the traffic jam. I was punished by the teacher. we know that "Time is money". “Time is life.” when time is gone, it will never return. This is the reason why we must value time.And it is a pity that there are a lot of people who do not know the importance of time. In a word, we should get into the good habit of saving time. Do not put off what can be done today until tomorrow. Laziness will not only bring us failure but also lead us to the road of poverty.11.Every coin has two sides.Every coin has two sides.Every thing has its advantage and disadvantage.For example,Internet is very useful for us. With the help of the net you can get many useful imformations,you can make friends with different people who are known or unkown,you can ask the help or question the answer. But the disadvantages of Internet also have a lot. The weak-willed persons maybe indulge games and amusement in Internet .We should make good use of it , We should correctly take the advantage of the net,make our life more beautiful.So we should always see one thing from two sides.We can analyse the advantages and disadvantages ,then make a balance between them.12.Every pleasure has a pain.When I see this topic ,I remember how I learned to ride a bike.When I was 6 years old,I pleaded to my father buying a bike to me. Dad smiled and said to me: "My child, you want to ride a bike, I can teach you. But you have to eat the bitter." I said: "I certainly will." Dad and I went to the store. He bought a colorful bike, and then a smile said to me: "Your car will be a new friend!" We came downstairs, my father said to me: " I'll teach you to ride a bike!" As you know ,I fell down from the bike many times.I said to my father :I dont want to learn to ride the bike.My father was serious, he said to me: "My child, when you grow up, you will have to face many difficult things. If you can not stand this, then how do you move toward success?" I seemed to understand what my father meant, and then continue to learn to ride a bike. Finally, I learned to ride a bike. " Every pleasure has a pain." this sentence is right. 13.Experience is the best teacher.Learning is an essential part of growing, and there are many ways in which we can learn. We can learn from our parents, from our teachers in school and from our friends. In addition to learning by listening to others, we can also learn by reading or by doing things for ourselves. All of these learning methods have their advantages, but the one that is most effective for me is to learn by experience.One reason I prefer to learn by experience is because I believe that experience is the best teacher. Knowledge that I gain through experience is the knowledge that I remember best. A second reason is that practical knowledge is often more useful than theoretical knowledge when dealing with problems in everyday life. Third, I can learn from the process itself. Even when I make mistakes, I can learn something from them. Finally, learning by doing allows me to make my own discoveries and, in this way, I not only have a more meaningful learning experience, but often learn things I never expected.In conclusion, learning through experience is the best method for me because I can acquire practical knowledge and remember my lessons well. In addition, the knowledge I gain is not only meaningful, but also wider than that I can get from other learning methods. Therefore, I will continue to try to learn as much as possible by doing things myself.14.Friendship is love with understanding.Friendship is indispensable to people's life. A man without friends is an angel without wings. We have much to share with our friends in life, sweetness,excitement, bitterness etc, it's magnificent to maintain a genuine friendship. It takes many special qualities to make a friend. Understanding should come first. Only when we get a better understanding of each other can we gain an authentic and meaningful friendship. We may find our hobbies of common interests. This feeling of affinity gets us closer and closer. It also takes a special kind of love that seems to know no end. Never hesitate to show your heartfelt care and kindness to your friend when he/she is in trouble. Love is not selfish. Love is endowed by God that we should treasure all our life. Understanding and love are the first two essences that comes to an authentic friendship. Remember, friendship is your psyche's guard, treasure it
