第17篇:教师应把学生放在首位
Teachers Should Put Students First 老师应当把学生放在第一位
'Runner Fan', nickname of Fan Meizhong, who ran out of the classroom leaving his students behind during the May 12 earthquake, has caused a controversy concerning traditional Chinese values. 范美钟，被称作'范跑跑'，在512地震发生的时候，他自己跑出教室，丢下了自己的学生，这引发了人们对于传统价值观的担忧。
Many people regard his action as wrong and a direct violation of teachers' responsibility and I would have to agree with them. 许多人认为他的做法是错误的，严重违背了老师的责任，我也非常赞同这一点。
Firstly, it is the responsibility of a teacher to protect his students' safety by law. 首先，法律上规定，老师有责任保护自己学生的安全。

In an emergency, each teacher is responsible for the direct supervision of his students. 在紧急状况中，每位老师都有责任直接监督领导自己的学生。
Furthermore, it will be of great help if they can direct the evacuation of their students to designated assembly areas in accordance with warning signals and written notification. 此外，如果老师能够按照警告信号和书面通知，指引自己的学生疏散到指定区域，那会起到重要作用。
It is out of the question that they should not remain with their students until rescue crews arrive. 毫无疑问，他们应当在救援人员到来之前，一直陪在学生身边。

第18篇:失败乃成功之母
Learning from Mistakes 从错误中吸取教训
We all make mistakes which are inevitable. 每个人都会犯错误。
What is worse is failure to correct own mistakes. 更糟糕的是，我们不能改正到自己的错误。
While making mistakes is good, repeating mistakes is definitely not. 尽管犯错误可能是好事，总是犯同样的错误绝不是什么好事。
Apart from correcting your own mistakes, we should learn from the mistakes. 除了改正我们自己的错误，我们应当从错误中吸取教训。
You can only learn from a mistake after you admit you have made one. 只有在承认自己所犯的错误之后，你才能从错误中吸取教训。
As soon as you start blaming other people, you distance yourself from any possible lesson that could be learned from it. 一旦你开始责怪其他人，你就失去了从错误中吸取教训的机会。
But if you courageously stand up and honestly say 'This is my mistake and I am responsible', the possibilities for learning will move towards you. 但是如果你有勇气站出来诚实地说，'这是我的错，我应当负责'，你就有可能从错误中积累经验。
Admission of a mistake, even if only privately to yourself, makes learning possible by moving the focus away from blaming yourself and towards understanding. 承认错误，即使只是自己在私下承认错误，也会让你逐渐懂得自我反省，能够从错误中领悟知识，吸取教训。
Wise people admit their mistakes easily. 聪明的人很容易承认他们的错误。
They know progress accelerates when they do. 他们知道承认错误会帮助自己进步。
On the other hand, for many reasons admitting mistakes is difficult. 另一方面，出于种种原因，承认错误是困难的。
This is why some people consider that they can learn nothing from mistakes, 这就是一些人认为他们在错误中学不到任何东西的原因。
We are taught in school, in our families, or at work to feel guilty about failure and to do whatever we can to avoid mistakes. 我们在学校、家庭和工作中懂得了失败的愧疚感，于是就会尽力避免犯错。
This sense of shame combined with the inevitability of setbacks when attempting difficult things explains why many people give up on their goals: 在我们尝试困难的事情的时候，愧疚感以及无法避免的挫折，足以解释许多人放弃目标的原因。
they are not prepared for the mistakes and failures they will face on their way to what they want. 他们没有准备好面对成功之路上的错误和失败。
In conclusion, we can and should learn good lessons from past mistakes in order to be more successful in our private and public lives. 总之，为了我们在个人生活和公共生活方面更加成功，我们不但能够而且应该从过去的错误中吸取经验。
第19篇:尊敬老人
Respecting the Elderly Is a Traditional Chinese Virtue 尊敬老人是中华民族的传统美德
The elderly have accumulated a lifetime's worth of experience, 老人积累了一生中最宝贵的经验，
however, many young people often regard them as irrelevant, embarrassing, and out of touch. 但是，许多年轻人现在经常认为老人与自己不相干，老人会使自己难堪，甚至与老人断绝联系。
As far as I am concerned, the traditional Chinese virtue to respect the old people needs to be emphasized. 就我而言，尊敬老人的中华传统美德应该予以重视。
Firstly, the elderly deserve the respect due to their effort in bringing up their children and their contribution to society. 首先，老人应当受到尊重，因为他们养育了孩子，贡献了社会。
We should always bear in mind that what we have and enjoy now was created by the aged people in the early days, 我们应该记住，我们现在拥有的和享受的一切都是老人在以前创造出来的。
as the old Chinese saying goes, 'One generation plants trees under whose shade another generation rests,' 俗语有云，前人栽树，后人乘凉。
Secondly, family is one of the best places for learning values, so every family should inspire younger members to respect the older ones. 其次，家庭是学习价值观念最好的课堂，所以每个家庭都应当启发年轻的一代去尊重老人。
It is important, therefore, to set an example at home by taking good care of the elderly members, so that children learn to adopt this same practice. 因此，通过孝敬家里的老人来树立榜样，是很重要的，这样孩子才能够学会接受同样的惯例。
Families should make a point of including and involving the older members in the family activities and decisions. 家庭应当特别注意一点，那就是让家里的老人参与家庭活动和决定。
In this way, families will exemplify the right values, and young members will learn first-hand on how to respect the elderly, 这样，家庭就能建立正确的价值观念，年轻的家庭成员将会直接学会如何尊敬老人。
Perhaps the most important test of a society is the way individuals behave towards one another. 或许社会中最重要的一项考试就是待人处事的方式。
And specifically, how that society treats its elderly men and women. 具体而言，就是社会如何对待老年人。
If young people do not respect the elderly, the whole society will be a mess without respect. 如果年轻人不尊重老人，社会将会因为没有尊重而混乱不堪。
Therefore, the elderly should be respected by all of us. 因此，我们所有人都应当尊敬老人。
第20篇:经济发展与环境保护
Both Economic Development and Environmental Protection Are Indispensable 经济发展和保护环境都是必须的
I am not supportive of the idea that either takes priority. 我不同意将其中一个作为优先选择的观点。

And, interestingly, it is the economic development per se that provides the money and personnel resources required for the protection of the environment. 而且，令人感到有趣的是，经济发展为环境保护提供了所需的资金和人力。
A well-preserved environment is the groundwork for the economy and in a way promotes economic growth. 得到良好保护的环境是经济发展的基础，而且在某种程度上也促进了经济的发展。
A fast-developing and well-functioning economy calls for a good environment, which offers essential resources, e.g. wood, coal, water, etc. for production. 经济发展又好又快，需要良好的环境，环境也为生产提供了必要的资源，例如木材，煤矿，水资源等。
Once the environment deteriorates, the production process is likely to be disturbed or even halted. 一旦环境恶化，生产过程很可能会受到阻碍，甚至停产。
What is worse, natural disasters that come with the worsening environmental conditions might even paralyses the whole economy impose a severe threat to human life. 更糟糕的是，由于环境恶化造成的自然灾害，甚至会使整个经济瘫痪，威胁人类生命。
The pursuit of short-term economic profit is the destruction of our home and that of our posterity. 追求短期的经济效益，会对我们的家庭和后代造成严重伤害。
So, economic development and environmental protection are equally important. 因此，经济发展和环境保护同等重要。

Given the status quod, it is possible to realize the co-existence of the two as long as we are conscious and determined enough. 考虑到这两者的地位，只有当我们足够清醒，并且下定决心之后，才能清楚地认识到两者的密不可分。
