Advice to Freshman

    

High school is a wonderful place for you to broaden your horizon of knowledge and gain various experience of activities. If you can make good use of the study time during high school, you may gain lots of valuable things during the three years. If you don’t, you might just get the diploma and learn nothing. If you want to learn well in your high school life, here are some advice for you. They are joining a student club, reading books widely and taking part in  the activities you are interested in.
      Joining a club can help you develop social skills  and how to get along with others. You not only learn what you want to learn, but also develop a great friendship in clubs. That may help you learn how  to teamwork with others in the future. 
      The second one is reading more books, like novels, science fictions, poetry and so on, not textbooks. Because textbooks give you limited knowledge, you have to read more for further aspects. By doing so, you will not only know the background knowledge of the contents talked about in the textbooks, but also have a broad view of things. Reading also improves your attitude toward viewinng things.  By knowing many things from books, you may develop the value you believe in and critical thinking skills. Consequentl, you will have a capability of independent thinking and become a person who never blindly  follows others’ opinions to make a decision. 
     The last advice is joining activities you are interested in. Whether the activities are held in school or not, it is a good way of learning and adding experience to attend to activities. For example, I had joined a contest of English speech when I was in tenth grade. Although I didn’t get any prize from it, I learned how to prepare a speech and try to give a speech before lots of people. The contest experience made me more interested  in English, too.
     Doing your best to try everything in your high school life is the best way to know what you really want in your future, but I have some advice for you to help you learn more in your high school life. Joining the clubs, reading more books except for the textbooks and attending many activities you’re interested in are ways to make your high school life colorful.

 

 

A Leader’s Character

 

 

                                                           The Outline of Leadership

             1.Introduction:

             When a group of people need to accomplish a work、there is must be a leader to lead  them. A leader in my opinion should be reasonable、brave and considerate.

             2.Character one—be reasonable

            A leader who is reasonable will see things reasonably and make decisions for his group clearly. Example:M.K Gandi、who was the leader of the 「non-violent resistence」 in India.

            3.Character two—be brave

            Because it is difficult for general men to face a big problem、even to deal with it、a brave leader can inspire his group by stepping his first step. Example: Sun Yet-Sen、who was the leader of revolution for Rebublic of China.

            4.Character three—be considerate

             Having a trait of humility is good for a person to be a leader. He who is humble will tend to adopt others’ advice to make his action for his followers better. Because he knows that he still has lots of thing to learn. He will listen his followers’ word to lead them well.

            5.Conlusion:

            The key to the success of a group is an outstanding leader in it. If a group wants that they can work well、their leader should be reasonable、brave and considerate.

          

When a group of people need to accomplish a work、there must be a leader to lead them. A leader in my opinion should be reasonable、brave and humble. With these three characters、a leader will be good and suitable for a group and lead them well.

       A leader should be reasonable so that he will see things reasonably and make decisions for his group clearly. Because people working in a group might be emotional when discussing with others to reach an agreement、the leader must help to reconcile the conflict and difference. Then the leader must be reasonable to cope with the argument of his followers so that less accidents will happen. For example、M.K. Gandi、who was the leader of India’s 「non-violent resistance」、told his followers not to use violent and unreasonable ways、such as armed demonstration, to protest against the government of United Kingdom. He knew that the raging ways might just cause many blood accidents and didn’t express the thought they wanted to tell the authority clearly、so he held the peaceful method to present their anger about their colonizer. What M.K. Gandi had done showed that he was a reasonable person who could think about a solution to a problem reasonably. That’s why he was a good leader in the 「non-violent resistance」.

     Only a brave man could lead people when they meet a challenge. Because it is difficult for ordinary men to face a big problem、and even to deal with it、a brave leader can inspire his group by taking his first action. Sun Yat-Sen、the founding father of the nation、was a brave man to overthrow the empire of Qing Dynasty. Even though he had failed in revolution to build a democratic nation for eleven times、he still adopted perseverance and a brave attitude toward the next challenge he would meet. He had overcome lots of adversities during the revolution bravely. Most of his comrades died in the revolution、but Mr. Sun still insisted his ideal to carry on his revolution bravely and never was cowardly to face his challenge.  

     Being humble is a good trait to be a good leader. A leader who is humble will be likely to accept other’s advice well because he knows that he still has lots of thing to learn and needs to know other’s thought to improve his action. For example、Tang Tai Chung、the emperor of Tang Dynasty in ancient China、always took his official、Wei Cheng’s advice to improve or correct his rule and way to lead his country. His humility made him be loved by his people and they liked to be led by him. As the result、The 「Jan Guan Rule」,which is a good and peaceful condition of a society、of the initial Tang Dynasty was made.  

     The key to the success of a group is an outstanding leader in it. If a group wants that they can work well、their leader should be reasonable、brave and humble. Due to these three traits、a leader will manage his group reasonably、not emotionally. He will make his followers face problems bravely and tend to accept their advice by his humility.
