Li Zhuoming, Class 1, Senior 1, Shenzhen Xin’an Middle School Instructed by Tang Ying Most important of all, we should place our emphasis on achieving academic achievements. As students, we are supposed to regard study as our main task. What should I do to realize my Chinese dream? First of all, I should make up my mind to be a learned person and have my life goals. I will think and decide what kind of person I will be and what kind of job I will do in the future. Then, I should set current goals for each of my subjects. The most important is that I will work harder from now on. As soon as I make full use of my time, I will start achieving my goals step by step. Secondly, I should place emphasis on inheriting Chinese traditional culture. Nowadays, a lot of teenagers’ brains are occupied with foreign culture. They pay attention to foreign festivals and celebrate them enthusiastically. However, they know little about Chinese traditional culture. It is our great traditional culture, such as being kind, hard-working, honest, patient, thrifty, filial, respectful and ready to help others and so on, that so far has helped us, the Chinese, and our country to develop from the weak to the strong. These virtues can’t be forgotten. As the younger generation grows older, it’s our responsibility to pass on Chinese culture. Therefore, I should take part in some traditional activities to find their meanings. For my personal commitment, I joined the Hanfu Society to keep and pass on our beautiful costumes in order to make people all over the world to appreciate the charm of ancient Chinese culture. Thirdly, I should shape my personality to make it charming. A teenager who has a good character is more significant than those who only have talents. Having a good character helps me to form a good way to face life. To have a good personality, I should have good qualities. These are some good qualities that I should stick to: Diligence is the key to help me make great achievements; honesty assists me in gaining trust from others; patience makes me keep calm all the time; and kindness helps me leave a good impression on others. |
