The Importance of Being Participants in Life

　　Nowadays it is common to encounter a scene when people want to see things happen but can't make things happen for various kinds of reasons. Sometimes, they just refuse to be the change in the world.

　　As far as I am concerned, we should all have the notion of being the participant in our life. For instance, one can't have a healthy body by merely watching others take regular exercises. He must strengthen his body through his own efforts. Another case is that when people intend to acquire new skills, such as public speaking skill, they need to catch every opportunity to speak in the public so that they can achieve success. Furthermore, there are changes we want to see in the world, like protecting the environment effectively, and the only way to make a difference is that each of us should be a contributing participant.

In conclusion, let's go out there to make things happen, just as the saying goes: "Be the change you want to see in the world."

　　It is widely accepted that to live and learn is a creed of many centuries. Even in contemporary society, life -long learning still carries great importance to personal happiness.

　　To begin with, hardly can anyone achieve genuine success in his career without learning. As competition in all lines of work grows increasingly fierce, we must defeat our rivals through learning. Furthermore, according to a latest survey conducted by an authority on the Internet, 95 percent of people interviewed answered that individual happiness and success can not exist without life-long learning. In addition, an increasing number of people come to realize the value of persistent learning. A case in point is those aged citizens having been retried from work, who seek to learning Chinese drawing, calligraphy and Peking drama, so that their life after retirement can be meaningful, full of colors.

　　Taking into account the analysis above, we can safely draw a conclusion that where there is leaning, there is life-long happiness.

　　As an old saying goes，“ Learning is a daily experience and a lifetime mission”. Apparently，the meaning of this saying is that if we truly desire to learn something，we are supposed to devote our life to it.

　　There are several reasons accounting for this viewpoint. Firstly，learning itself is an actually complicated and painful matter，and as a result，it is advisable for us to commit much more time even our whole life to it. Additionally，it is exceedingly obvious that we are easy to forget what we learned，and accordingly，the significance of lifetime learning cannot be ignored. For example，memorizing vocabulary is commonly the first step of preparing for an English test.

To sum up，lifelong learning lays a solid foundation to the development of ourselves，and only when we realize the significance of lifetime learning can we understand the essence of learning.

Directions:For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay commenting on the saying “Listening is more important than talking.” You can cite examples to illustrate the importance of listening. You should write at least 120 words, no more than 180 words.

范文：

　　As the most evolved creature in this planet，we human beings are in possession of two kinds of most powerful capability , that is listening and talking. Compared with talking, more often than not, the significance of listening is way ahead in our life.

　　The most typical example of the importance of talking lies in the exchange among family members. When we are accustomed to talking without listening, in the process of which we might only focus on ourselves, feeling of others are ignored and even hurt. Without listening, the essential passport towards mutual understanding, the relation among our family members may bit by bit go alienated. Besides, listening can also promote the efficiency of teamwork and efficiency is of the utmost consequence in such a fast-tempo society.

　　Talking is a window through which we convey ourselves, while listening is a door via which we understand each. A life without mutual listening is just like a house without a door. Careful listening, as at least it seems to me, is a necessity but not a luxury in our daily life as well as in our work.
