Your education, your future
No matter what you want to do with your life, you’ll need an education first. You make your own future. You want to be a doctor, a teacher, or a sportsman A good, education is required for every single one of those careers (职业). And what you’re learning in school today will decide whether your country can meet the greatest challenge in the future.
The truth is that being successful is hard. Some of the most successful people in the world are the ones who’ve had the most failures (失败). For example, the first book of J. K. Rowling, the writer of Harry Potter, was refused 12 times before it was finally published--Michael Jordan was once kicked off his high school basketball team. He lost hundreds of games and thousands of shots during his career. But he said, “I have failed over and over again in my life. But that’s why I succeed.”
These people succeeded because they understood that they couldn’t let their failures define (定义) themselves but to teach themselves. So if you get a bad grade, that doesn’t mean you’re stupid. Instead, you need to spend more time studying.
I expect you to put your best effort into everything you do. So don’t let us down, don’t let your family or country down. Most importantly, don’t let yourself down.

Enjoy Reading, Enjoy Life
As a saying goes: “Reading makes a full man.”
I have a great passion for reading and it has become a part of my life. Every morning, I read newspapers for the latest news. I'm also fond of novels and magazines. Besides, book reviews provide me with different ideas on great books.
When reading, I feel relaxed and pleased. It's the best moment to get knowledge and pleasure in life. What’s more, reading opens my eyes and broadens my mind. Through reading, I can experience what I haven’t seen or done before.
With a deep love for reading. I can’t wait to read more.
