High School Musical 3
真是一部好电影
可能我喜欢头脑简单地看片
每次评判电影好坏的标准就是它能不能让我哭能不能让我笑
这个High School Musical 3 很难得的 两个都做到了
看得我又是哭又是笑的……真的很好看
记得高一还是高二的时候 Tycoon在英语课上给我们放过High School Musical 1
但我觉得High School Musical 3比1还要好……好得多得多
因为它的题材是关于高中毕业的
很适合我们看呢，觉得我们不能全班一起看它真是一大可惜
歌曲最最好听，场景最最华丽，剧情最最感动
Furthermore，Zac Efron还是一如既往的帅
Vanessa还是怎么看怎么可爱，太有气质了
让我很开心的是
这位女主角在这一部电影里
也和我一样被斯坦福大学录取了
看到自己未来的学校在这么一部片子里出现
甚至还听到了胡佛塔的钟声
感觉真的很……不一样
最令我感动的是
在Stanford校园里那棵经典的造型奇异的大树下
Zac Efron (Troy) 和Vanessa (Gabriella)一边唱歌一边翩翩起舞
——My dance, is wherever you are.
——Can I have this dance?
还有搞笑的呢那位爱出风头的做作女生……
哈哈太逗了 我说都说不过来
大家可以自己去看看……
片子最后说的也很好
——虽然我们高中毕业了
但是，我们以后为什么不能继续抱着在高中的快活单纯的心态去生活呢？
祝毕业的他们还有即将毕业的我们
永远年轻 永远快乐
The soft whisper of the leaves, with sunlight playing upon its shimmering surface, leads my heart upward to the heaven that saints and poets have imagined.
One of the boys in the neighbor class was fully acquainted with solving conic sections when 12 years old; yet he was totally ignorant of the way to peel a banana.
The parents of our classmates call him: the genius.
Sleep alleviates the fatigue, while dream aggravates the burden of anguish beneath the soul.
Instead of floating in the air and boasting for their own perfect figures,
snowflakes choose to gather together to decorate the earth.
【Embrace Tomorrow's Life】
Question: why would the essay's topic begin with an 'if'?
Well, the answer is that the topic is only a hypothesis. It is impossible for us to choose a favorite age, and then forever be happy living like that!
We must not avoid future. We all have to grow up some day, whether we like it or not.
Why are we afraid? Is growing up that scary?
I have read all the essays, and I have seen at
least a third of the students who revealed their fear towards the
adults' life. Some of them even showed their intense hatred towards
the grown-ups' world. It worried me a lot. Here I am, standing in
front of the class and speak to everyone in my class. So much I
hope that they won't be afraid anymore, and here I would like to
tell them my thoughts.
Certainly pressure would come to us when we grow up. We have to work hard, to earn money and to support our families. This is especially tough for this generation of Chinese teenagers, because almost every one of us is an only child. Just think about it--you can only marry one person, and the two of you are gonna have four parents and two (if you like kids) children to feed! The truth is, it is extremely difficult for us even to feed ourselves in the highly-competitive society. How freaky is that?!
It is our destiny to live like this. We all live in this place at this period of time, and we have to accept the fact that no one can avoid being toiled to death.
Yes, we cannot decide this tough part of our lives. However, we can decide our attitudes towards life.
Am I happy? People constantly ask themselves this question to check out if they are having a happy life.
What is your attitude towards life? Whether you are happy or not largely depends on your answer. In my opinion, paying responsibilities for my loved ones is the happiest thing in the world. For them, every piece of tough work is worth the effort. This feeling arises especially when people begin to nurture their own children--sacrificing for offsprings is not a particular virtue that belongs to human society, but an instinct that belongs to all animals in nature. All creatures love their offsprings by nature. Love is not just an emotion, but a devotion, an action--that makes all of the adults' efforts meaningful.
So, let's look at the adults' life in another aspect: You are working together with your beloved spouse, and the two of you are trying your best to pay back your parents and nurture your adorable babies. Does it still sound scary?
Life can always be beautiful. We should see it in a rather positive way, shouldn't we?
I had read an article about happiness. It said that people's happiness depends on the proportion of our givings and our takings. If we balance ourselves and make the amount of our givings equals the amount of our takings, we feel the happiest. If we do not balance these two factors, we will be less happier.
For instance, if you work day and night--toiled to death but does not receive any payback, you would definitely become furious. On the other hand, if you go shopping everyday, spending the money that isn't earned by yourself, you would only get an instant joy. After the joy, you would feel empty spaces fill your spirit with holes. You would never have true happiness.
This is exactly one of the reasons for me to choose being an adult. I can earn a lot through my effort, and I can pay my parents their love back--not just taking things from them.
In a word, 'when you're balanced, you're happy'. What we need to know is that responsibility does not contradict happiness.
In a few years, we will not be teenagers anymore. We will all be young adults. We must treasure the experience time gives us, and our minds must not be stagnant. It is our goal to make progress and changes, but we shall not change everything. Being genuine, loyal and kind is the best part of teenagers--these virtues can accompany us throughout our lives, as long as we want them to.
In all probability, of course, that we will encounter more adversities when we become adults. We will even suffer from tribulation. However, we must be brave enough to face future's challenges. Desperate will never help you, and fear will not either.
Consider the gift that life gives to adults. They experience a lot, and they will understand more. Well, maybe we will understand it when we become adults.
At last, I want to say that we shall both cherish today and have faith in tomorrow. The future will be more brilliant, as long as you want to believe it.

【Keep the Beautiful Part of Today's Life】
We all know that sooner or later we must let teenage go. Yet, we do not need to let our friends go.
It is acknowledged that teenagers' friendship is one of the most precious thing in life. It is painful that during the process of growing up, we have unvolunteerily said goodbye to the pals who had accompanied us for years.
However, I want to say that we should cherish our friendship.
Don't let them go--they are important to you. We are not being controlled, and we are not helpless in dealing with our own friendship. Yes, they are now faraway from us; so what? We can still keep in touch with them--as long as we want to.
The moment when we say goodbye to our friends, and when they leave us and become 'memories', their figures in our hearts started to be infinitely glorified. It is interesting that we may found them a little bit annoying when we were with them, but when they had become the past, those friends all seemed perfect.
Consider the phrase 'Golden Memories'. Memories always seem beautiful because they are the past. In reality, we can never get them back. The feeling of indefinable regret that memories brought us makes the word 'memory' shines like gold.
When we recalled the friends
from the past, and sigh 'I miss you guys so much', the feeling
inside us is so vague that we cannot tell what exactly do we miss.
Do we miss our friends back in our teenage life? Do we miss
ourselves in the past? Or do we miss the time when we have so much
fun together?
One of the major reasons for
the students to choose to be teenagers is that they valued their
friendship so much they don't want to lose it. However, we are
destined to chase after our own dreams and fly far away from our
friends. We are destined to say goodbye someday, because we are so
much different from each other.
The point is, that saying goodbye does not mean that you lose your friendship. Yes, you are far away from your friend--say, you are on the other side of the globe--so what? You can still keep in touch with your friend. Being friends does not mean that you have to be together every day.
In a few years, me and my
classmates will not be classmates any more. We will have different
careers, but we can still be friends. Maybe we will have changed a
lot, but as long as we respect and appreciate each other's dreams,
our friendship will never change.
When we are stepping forward, we don't need to throw away everything in the past. The beautiful part of our memories should be cherished forever.
【If we can choose to be at any age...What is your choice?】
Everyone has writte an essay. Everyone has made a choice.
However, I would like to say that our choices are invalid.
The future is always unknown before it becomes the present. We haven't experienced the life of being adults yet. Maybe it is a glorious life; maybe it is a mess.
Life is like a box of chocolate. You will never know what are you gonna get.
In the future--maybe after a few decades--when we are asked to write this essay for another time, we will probably make a different choice.
So, if we are totally ignorant of what future life is like, why would we make our choices now?
I went through all the papers, and I have seen our reasons.
For students who choose to be adults, none of them could say for sure that being an adult is indeed the happiest. They chose to be adults, because they were willing to have higher expectations towards future.
And for students who choose to be teenagers, none of them could say for sure that future life would be worse than the present. They chose to be teenagers, because so much they love today's life that they just cannot let it go away.
In my opinion, there are two
things we should do--to keep the beautiful part of today's life,
and to embrace tomorrow's life.
