众所周知，书籍教我们学习人生，真理，科学以及其它许多有用的东西。它们增加我们的知识，扩大我们的心胸并加强我们的品格。换句话说，它们是我们的良师益友。这是为什么我们的父母总是鼓励我们要多读书的理由。
读书是一好事，但我们必须多注意书的选择。不错，我们能从好书中获得益处。然而，坏书却对我们有害无益。

英国有句谚语说，时间就是金钱。我认为这是不对的。为什么？因为我们大家都知道我们能够用工作赚钱，但无论如何却无法把时间争取回来。基于此种理由，我们可以说时间比金钱更宝贵。
6．HOWTOSPENDSUNDAYS如何消度星期日

我们许多人总是把星期日毫无目的地消度掉。这确实是十分可惜。我们很少能从星期日的宝贵时光中获得益处。虽然星期日是被指定为一个休息的日子，但是我们却应好好利用它。我们知道我们学校的功课通常是不够的。我们应时常利用星期日来阅读参考书。如此我们的知识就会增加了。此外，我们必须从事运动或郊游以便强壮我们的身体。

如果我们的身体不强壮，我们做事的精神一定会十分迟钝。而且同时，我们也缺少足够的精力来读书。疾病只会侵击体弱的人而不是强壮的人。
为什么我们的身体会不强壮呢？因为我们不注意运动。基于此种理由，我们学生必须时常在运动场做不同种类的运动。

我们不可能使我们的国家富强而不发展教育。为什么？因为教育给予人民知识并教他们如何成为好公民以便能为国家效力。难怪，有人说教育决定一个国家的进步，繁荣与文化。现在世界大多数的国家都在实施强迫教育。所有各类人不论贫富都必须接受教育。台湾也不例外。

勤勉会带给我们成功，财富和好运乃是当然之事。我确信一个苦干的人终是能够做成功他所要做的工作。这是不易之定理。

早晨我复习功课并阅读报纸或杂志。下午我和朋友打球，或去河中钓鱼。晚上我就和家人看看电视。墙上的钟刚敲十下，我就去睡觉了。
17．CHOOSINGFRIENDS选择朋友
Amanwhoiscarefulinchoosingfriendswillcertainlyderivebenefitfromthem.Why?Becausetherearemorefalsefriendsthanrealonesinthisworld.Tohaveonerealfriendisbetterthanahundredfalseones.Friendswhoflatteryoutoyourfacearenottruefriends.
Wemustmakefriendswiththosewhohavegoodcharacterandkindnessofheart.Ontheotherhand,weshoulddoourbesttoavoidkeepingcompanywithbadpeople.
一个小心选择朋友的人一定会从他们那里获得益处。为什么？因为在这个世界里假朋友比真朋友要多。有一个真朋友要比有一百个假朋友来得好。凡是当面奉承你的朋友不是真朋友。
17．THRIFT节俭
Thereisnota/nothriftymanbutbecomesarichmansoonerorlater.Why?Becausehewillnotspendsuchmoneyasisunnecessary.Littlebylittlehismoneywillaccumulate.Tentoone,heisboundtomakeafortune.Idonotlikesuchmenasspendtheirmoneyinawrongway.Theydonotknowextravaganceisabadthing.Itcanonlymakethemhappyforthetimebeing.Inshort,thriftmakespoormenrichandextravagancemakesrichmenpoor.
聚积起来。十之八九，他一定会发财的。我不喜欢那种乱花钱的人。他们不知道奢侈是一件坏事。它只能够使他们暂时快乐而已。总而言之，节俭使穷人变富，奢侈使富人变穷。
18．PERSEVERANCE毅力／坚忍
Needlesstosay,nothingbutperseverancecanleadamantothewayofsuccess.Inotherwords,aperseveringmanneverdoeshisworkwithoutsucceedinginit.Thisisindeedunchangeabletruth.OurNationalFather,Dr.SunYat-Sen,isthemostidealexample.Hewasdevotedtotherevolutionaboutfortyyears.Hemetwithmanyfailures,buthewasanythingbutdiscouraged.Asaresult,hewon.TheRepublicofChinawasborn.
不需说，只有毅力才能引导人迈向成功之途。换句话说，一个具有毅力的人做工作总是(never...without)会把它做成功的。这真是不易之定理也。我们国父孙中山先生是一个最理想的例子.致力国民革命四十年。他遭遇到许多次的失败，但是他决不灰心。结果，他赢了。中华民国诞生了。
19．WHERETHEREISAWILL,THEREISAWAY有志者事竟成
Thesecretofsuccess/Thekeytosuccessisnotsomuchmoneyasastrongwill.Agreatmanisonewhohasastrongwillandanindomitable(不屈不挠的)spirit.Inotherwords,ifamandoesnothaveastrongwilltowin/getthefinalvictory,hewillneversucceedinhislife.Heisnomorethanafailure.Itisquiteobviousthatthereisnodifficultthing/nothingdifficultintheworld.Ifyoumakeupyourmindtodoit,youwillcertainlyaccomplishyourend.Thatstandstoreason(显而易见).
成功的要诀不是金钱而是一个坚强的意志（用notsomush...as）。一个大人物是一个具有坚强意志和不屈不挠精神的人。换句话说，如果一个人没有坚强意志去获得最后胜利，他终其一生都不会成功。他只不过是（用nomorethan）一个失败者。很明显，世界上并没有难事。如果你下定决心去做它，你一定会达到目的。那是显而易见的。
20．MYAIM我的志向
Whateveraman’sstatusis/maybe,hemusthaveanaim.Ifnot,hecanhardlystandonhisowntwofeetintheworld.Thatstandstoreason(显而易见的).Howeverimportantfameandwealthmaybe,wemustnotletthembecomeourobjectinlife.Weshouldaimatdoingsomethingusefultothesociety.Ifmyaimcancometrue,Ihope/wishtobeateacher.However,teachingisbynomeansaneasything.Imustapplymyselfcloselytomystudiessoastobeabletocopewithmyduties(asateacher).
不论是什么身份的人，他必须有一个志向。如果没有的话，他很难立足于世上。那是显而易见的。不论名利如何重要，我们切不可让它们成为我们生活之目标。我们应当志在做一些对社会有益的事情。如果我的志向能实现的话，我就希望成为一个老师。然而，教书并不是一容易的事情。我必须专心学业以便能应因我的职责。
