Lesson One Twelve things I wish they taught at school

The most important thing I think I should learn at college

Patriotism爱国精神means love for one’s country. it makes one ready to sacrifice牺牲one’s own life for one’s country. And to do many other deeds行为which can bring benefits利益to his people . its effect is very great when its is exercised锻炼by all the people of a country.

I think patriotism is the most important thing I should learn at college. Because it makes our country strong, and her history glorious显赫的. It also improves a man’s character and secures for him widespread fame .

To lover our country, to work so as to make her rich , to support her government , to obey her law, to pay fair taxes into her treasury, to treat our fellow-citizens as we wish to be treated ourselves-this is to be a real Chinese patriot

if the people of a country are not patriotic, the country must be very weak .history tells us how some countries of ancient times were ,owing to lack of patriotism, conquered by other peoples and how the people of the conquered countries were made slaves under the yoke of their victorious masters. So patriotism is the most important thing I think I should learn at college.

So here’s my list:

.1.pick a difficult thing and learn it well.(while u learn a little bit about many subjects ,make sure you learn a great deal bout one or two.)

2.don’t be afraid to ask” stupid” questions.(discuss ideas in depth with friends .it’s much braver to ask questions even when there’s prospect of ridicule than to suppress your questions and become deadened to the world around you.

3.listen carefully.(when people are talking, don’t spend the time thinking about what you are going to say next, instead ,try to understand what the are saying ,what experience is behind their remarks ,what you can learn from or about them.

4.everybody makes mistakes(be open to correction, and learn to correct your own mistakes.)

5.know our planet.(we are changing the atmosphere, the surface ,the waters of the Earth , often for some short-term advantage when the long-term implications are unknown.)

6.science and technology(you cant know your plant unless you know something about science and technology.)

7.dont spend your life watching TV.

8.CULTURE(gain some exposure to the great works of literature, art and music .but once you make the effort ,your life has changed ;you have acquired a source of enjoyment and excitement for the rest of your days .dont restrict your attention to American or Western culture. Learn how and what people elsewhere think .learn something of their history, their religion, their viewpoints.

passion.(there is a hollowness, a loneliness that comes from living only for yourself. Humans are capable of great mutual compassion , love, and tenderness. These feelings , however, need encouragement to grow .
