Learning is a Lifelong Career
As food is to the body, so is learning to themind.Our bodies grow and muscles develop withthe intake of adequate nutritious food. Likewise,we should keep learning day by day to maintain ourkeen mental power and expand our intellectualcapacity. Constant learning supplies us withinexhaustible fuel for driving us to sharpen ourpower of reasoning, analysis, and judgment. Learning incessantly is the surest way to keeppace with the times in the information age, and reliable warrant of success in times ofuncertainty.
Once learning stops, vegetation sets in. It is a common fallacy to regard school as the onlyworkshop for the acquisition of knowledge. On the contrary, learning should be a neverending process, from the cradle to the grave. With the world changing so fast, to ceaselearning for just a few days will make a person lag behind. What’ s worse, the animal instinctdormant deep in our sub-conscious will come to life, weakening our will to pursue our nobleideas, undermining our determination to sweep away obstacles to our success and stranglingour desire for the refinement of our character. Lack of learning will inevitably lead to thestagnation of the mind, or even worse, its fossilization.Therefore, to stay mentally young,we have to take learning as a lifelong career.
Going on Study or Going on Work
Currently, the major dilemma which most students face upon graduation is to continue pursuing postgraduate studies or to find a job immediately.
Those who decide to go to work immediately can't wait to put what they have learned intopractice. They believe that only by application can a person master knowledge in the realsense. Most important of all, they can live on their own and have the feeling ofaccomplishment for the first time.
Other people, however, believe that if a person wants to be an expert in a specialized field,four years in university is far from enough. The best way is to choose a direction and study it indepth. It is not late at all when they go to work, bacause they start at a much higher level.
No matter which choice a student will finally make, he has to be extremely careful to look intohis situation and consult the predecessors for their advice. He will make the right choice if he knows his goal in life and how to turn it into reality.

Learning Foreign Languages
In schools all over the world boys and girls are learning foreign languages. Many adults are doing so in their spare time. Everybody knows his own language, but to know another is very useful.
Which is the best way to learn a language? We should remember we all learnt our own language well when we were children. If we could learn a second language in the same way, it would not seem so difficult. Think what a small child does. It listens to what people say and tries to imitate what it hears. When it wants something, it has to ask for it. It is using the language. It is talking and thinking in it all the time. If one has to use a second language all the time, he would learn it quickly.
It is important to remember, also, that we learn our own language by hearing people speaking it not by seeing what they write. We imitate what we hear. In school, though you learn to read and write as well as to hear and speak, it is best to learn all new words through the ear. Of course you also learn to read them, spell them and write them.
学习外语
世界各地的学校中孩子们都在学习外语。很多成年人在业余时间也在学习外语。每人都懂自己的母语，但知道另一门语言也非常有用。
学习外语最好的方法是什么呢?我们应当记得我们是孩子的时候，自己的母语都学得非常好。如果我们能以同样的方式学习第二种语言，那看起来就不会这么难了。想想小孩是怎样做的。孩子听人们说话然后设法模仿听到的东西。当他需要什么东西的时候，必须去要。他是在使用语言。他一直在用语言说话和思考。如果一个人必须始终使用第二语言，他就会学得很快。
而且，记住我们学习母语时是通过听别人说话而不是看别人写字，这也很重要。我们模仿我们听到的。 学校中，虽然你除了学习听说，还学习读写，但学习所有新单词最好是通过耳朵。当然你也要学会阅读、拼写和写作。

学习：一生的事业
学习之于心灵，就像食物之于身体一样。摄取了适量的营养食物，我们的身体得以生长而肌肉得以发达。 同样地，我们应该日复一日不断地学习以保持我们心智的敏锐，并扩充我们的智力容量。不断的学习提供我们用之不尽的燃料，来驱使我们磨砺我们的推理、分析和判断的能力。持续的学习是在信息时代中跟时代井驾齐驱的最稳当的方法，也是在变动的时代中成功的可靠保证。
一旦学习停止，单调贫乏的生活就开始了。视学校为汲取知识的惟一场所是种常见的谬误。相反地，从生到死,学习应该是一种无终止的历程。 由于世界变化得如此迅速，只要学习停顿数日就能使人落后。更糟的是，蛰伏在我们潜意识深处的兽性本能就会复活，削弱我们追求高尚理想的意志，弱化我们扫除成功障碍的决心，而且扼杀我们净化我们人格的欲望。缺少学习将不可避免地导致心灵的停滞，甚至更糟，使其僵化。因此，为了保持心态年轻，我们必须将学习当作一生的事业。
Mobiles Distract Study
Mobile phones are becoming a new scene on campus.
Students think it is extremely convenient for them to communicate with the outside world by using mobile phones, especially when they are hunting for jobs, so they call it an essential investment.
Education experts analyze the entry of mobile phones into campus as an indication of social progress. To some extent, it reflects that college students are more and more involved in this modern society, rather than pedants in the "Ivory Tower".
As a coin has two sides, the mobile phone, while providing convenience, causes trouble too. In classrooms, the untimely ringing interrupts lectures and destroys the atmosphere of study, so it prompts many complaints. And the mobile phone users themselves also suffer.
Therefore, we need to think more about how to integrate mobile phones properly into our lives.
手机影响学习
在大学校园里，手机已经成为了一道新的风景。
学生们认为，手机可以让他们非常便利地与外界联系,特别是当他们找工作的时候，所以他们认为这是个必要的投资。
教育专家分析，手机进入校园是社会进步的体现。在某种程度上，这反映了大学生越来越融入这个现代社会，而不是待在“象牙塔”里的书呆子。
正如硬币都有两面一样，手机在提供方便的同时，也产生了一些问题。在教室里，不合时宜地响起的手机铃声不但打断了上课，而且破坏了学习的气氛，因此也引起了诸多抱怨。手机使用者自己也同样是受害者。
因此，我们应该更多地想想如何使手机适当地融入我们的生活。
作文题目：How to Study Efficiently
参考范文：
As students, we have to study almost every day. However, not everybody knows how to study efficiently.Do you want to know better about it?
There is some relationships between the study efficiency and the hours spent in studying in a day.In fact, more hours of study do not necessarily result in better or higher study efficiency.It is said that the optimum of efficiency comes when one studies about 5 hours and the efficiency begins to drop as he studies longer than it. By the time when one studies 11 hours per day， his efficiency of study becomes very poor.
In conclusion, there is always a maximum of efficiency and an appropriate amount of time for study in a day. More time spent in study doesn’t always mean greater efficiency.
On TV programs, we can see many foreigners can speak Chinese fluently and sing songs well. Or, walking on the street, we may see a foreigner talking with friends in fluent Chinese. And a lot of Confucius Institutes has been built arond the globe. Indeed, Chinese is more popular around the world than before, and the population speaking Chinese is on the rise. Some people argue that this phenomenon is good for the development of the language and the communication between countries, while others doubt it. As for me, I prefer to the former.
在电视节目上，我们可以看到很多外国人可以流利说中文和唱中文歌。或者，走在大街上我们可能会看到一个外国人用流利的中文和朋友交谈。很多孔子学院在全球范围内建立起来。事实上，汉语在全世界比以前更受欢迎了，说汉语的人口数量正在上升。有的人认为，这一现象对语言的发展以及国与国时间的交流是有好处的，而其他人则对此表示怀疑。在我看来，我更赞同前者的观点。
With the Chinese-speaking population becoming larger and larger, Chinese is endowed with greater vitality, which is of great importance to the survival and development of a language. With constant change of time, more new words and phrase from other languages are added to Chinese, which greatly enriches Chinese. What's more, the wide use of Chinese can introduce real Chinese culture to the world so that people from other nations can gain a better and further understanding of China. Since language and culture are closely related, it's impossible to learn a language without learning its culture. Once knowing a nation's culture, the understanding of that nation would be deeper and the barriers would be eliminated gradually.
随着说汉语的人口数量越来越多，汉语被赋予了更大的生命力，这对一门语言的生存和发展很重要。随着时代的迅速改变，越来越多其他语言的词和词组加入到汉语中，这将大大丰富汉语。另外，汉语的广泛使用能够向世界介绍中国的真正文化，这样来自其他国家的人们就能对中国有更好更深的了解。由于语言和文化是密切联系的，我们不可能不学习文化就能学习一门语言。一旦了解一个国家的文化，对那个国家的了解就会更深，就能够逐渐消除障碍。
From the discussions above, with the progressing of globalization, Chinese has been widely recognized and learned. It's a good way to broadcast our nation's culture. However, in view of this situation, we can not be to optimistic, because with the deepening of communication, something bad can be brought to our language, too. Therefore, we should be cautious to thisphenomenon.
从以上的讨论我们可以看出，随这全球化的进步，汉语已经被广泛认识和学习。这是传播我国文化的一种好方法。但是，鉴于这一情况，我们不能过于乐观，因为随着交流的深入，一些不好的东西也可以被带到我们的语言。因此，我们应该对这一现象保持谨慎。
