生如夏花小组--第12次作业

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? People should sometimes do things that they do not enjoy doing. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

"To do something enjoyable, or not to do, that is a question", imagine that Shakespeare crosses through time space to the modern society which emphasizes practical success and ignores enjoyment of life, he may say his famous saying in this way. When we take into account life, we often make it association with things that we are willing or reluctant to do. Although people should be encouraged to do things with willingness, sometimes we also must do things that we don't enjoy doing.

To begin with, due to living pressure, people may not be allowed to do things they prefer to do. Let me take my mother, who was born in 1950s as an example, during her childhood, it is the time when Culture Revolution which all the students were ordered to learn how to work in the farm swept all over China, thus she didn't get a access to education. After Culture Revolution, when the national college entrance examination resumed, my mom took this examination and got an offer from Northeast University. But at that time, my grandma is badly sick in the bed and my mother is the first daughter in her family, so she chose to give up her education and become a worker so that she would take care of the whole family including 5 sisters and brothers. Almost 20 years later, I heard this story from one of my aunts and then I asked my mom if she felt regretful for her decision. My mother shook her head and said some words that I would remember all my life--"when there are burden and responsibility on your shoulder, it is so extravagant and willful to talk about personal interest, you must do something you do not enjoy doing".

Moreover, it may be also true when it comes to personal development. As we all know, majority of the children prefer playing games to studying textbooks. And we also know that every child should learn some basic knowledge such as language, math not only for entrance of university, but also for their later personal development. Maybe my experience is a good example. I hate math from the time I was in high school, but I was told that I must try me best to learn it for applying to university. Now I am applying to PhD in US universities which all required GRE score which including quantitative test. Thanks to the days I studied math hard in high school, I could get a satisfied score and be much closer to US universities. Therefore, things that we don't enjoy doing once may be helpful and valuable for the future.

To conclude, from what my mother and I have been experienced, I eventually find that there are always something unenjoyable in our daily life, but it is exactly these things that may help us go through those rough times and contribute directly to future days. Maybe no try, whether enjoyable or unenjoyable, will be wasted.

生如夏花小组--第12次作业

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? People should sometimes do things that they do not enjoy doing. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

"To do something enjoyable, or not to do, that is a question", imagine that Shakespeare crosses through time space to the modern society which emphasizes practical success and ignores enjoyment of life, he may say his famous saying in this way. When we take into account life, we often make it association(associated with或者in association with)with things that we are willing or reluctant to do. Although people should be encouraged to do things with willingness, sometimes we also must do things that we don't enjoy doing.

To begin with, due to living pressure, people may not be allowed to do things they prefer to do. Let me take my mother, who was born in 1950s as an example, during her childhood, it is the time when Culture Revolution (in)which all the students were ordered to learn how to work in the farm swept all over China, thus she didn't get a access to education. After Culture Revolution, when the national college entrance examination resumed, my mom took this examination and got an offer from Northeast University. But at that time, my grandma is badly sick(ill, sick 在美语里面骂人时候常用) in the bed and my mother is the first daughter in her family, so she chose to give up her education and become a worker so that she would take care of the whole family including 5 sisters and brothers. Almost 20 years later, I heard this story from one of my aunts and then I asked my mom if she felt regretful for her decision. My mother shook her head and said some words that I would remember all my life--"when there are burden and responsibility on your shoulder, it is so extravagant and willful to talk about personal interest, you must do something you do not enjoy doing".

Now I am applying to PhD in US universities which all required GRE score which including quantitative test. Thanks to the days I studied math hard in high school, I could get a satisfied score and be much closer to US universities(and step further on my way towards  universities in america). Therefore, things that we don't enjoy doing once may be helpful and valuable for(in) the future.

To conclude, from what my mother and I have been experienced, I eventually find that there are always something unenjoyable in our daily life, but it is exactly these things that may help us go through those rough times and contribute directly to future days. Maybe no try, whether enjoyable or unenjoyable, will be wasted.
