Li Chenxi, Class 13, Senior 1, Shenzhen Xin’an Middle School, Instructed by Tang Ying Nowadays, the speed with which our country is becoming more and more advanced is amazing. In this big era, everyone has the responsibility to improve themselves in order to make our country strong. As a senior high student, I should improve myself from the following three main aspects. First, I can improve myself by improving my physical health. I am supposed to make a plan for when and how I do sports every day as well as what and how to eat healthily. Then I will invite my parents to check whether I have done everything according to my plan. At the same time, I will send invitations to my friends to join me to encourage them to improve their physical health as well. In this way, we can keep doing sports together as a team. After all, health is the most important aspect. Second, I shall improve my brain to become more intelligent. To realize this, the first thing is to improve my thinking abilities. I live in an international society, and sometimes many things are not just what they look like. Humans are complicated, and both good and evil things could happen at the same time. I should see things from both sides. To learn this world comprehensively, I should learn more about culture to improve my cultureal awareness so that I can be more objective and rational. In this way, my mind will be both steadfast and peaceful. Third, based on the above two points, I will work hard on my studies. There is a saying, “Knowledge is the most powerful weapon in the world.” We can look back in our history to find numerous examples to show that knowledge can not only change a person’s destiny, but also a country’s. Besides working hard in school, I also need to utilize knowledge that I have learned in my real life to solve problems and help others. That’s why I am working hard to learn. When I use my knowledge to create something new, I can also strengthen my creativity which may be one of the scarcest things that is urgently needed in our country. To conclude, I want to improve myself through doing sports to keep fit, becoming more intelligent and improving my studies in order to make my country strong. Every step counts! I should start right now. |
