今天依然有很多事做，但是一大早起床我还是得把我难忘的周末和大家分享一下，呵呵！开学这两周过得梦幻一般，现在想起来我都忍不住笑出声来，就这两天来说吧，真是telling days! 首先周六晚在杭州参加销售培训的佘绍金鑫师兄“凯旋归来”，到我宿舍找我，本以为以后可以和他常常聚一下，可是他第二天却要回老家汕头工作，结果我们才聊了十来分钟就分别了，那一刻我真的有种莫名的失落感以及不舍。想起上个学期，我们一起准备BEC高级的口语考试，一周练二三次。除非他有特别的事情，不然都会非常准时地来练习，这点让我非常感动！他当时告诉我，他已经考了托业而且考得不错，所以要考高级，可是却发现BEC比托业难很多，所以后悔报名了。当时我还安慰他说没关系的，通过努力一定会过的。最后我们两个在口语战场上作完最后一战，光荣地完成了我们的BEC的学习任务。遗憾的是，当我得到我BEC的喜讯时，却听到他说他没过，我喜悦的心情似乎一下子消减了许多。那天晚上我还对他说他考不过我觉得很遗憾，特别是对我们这对老搭档，我觉得大家好才是真的好。可是他说的话让我一辈子也忘不了。他对我说，虽然他花了几百块钱报考却没过，但起码他收获了我这个朋友。他还说，他从我身上学到很多东西，最重要的是一点，那就是坚持。然而，他却不知道，我在他身上学到的，却是更多……天下无不散之筵席，在此祝师兄万事顺利，鹏程万里！
再说说昨天吧，一大早也起床了在准备翻译兼职事情。第一次去做美国教育展的翻译，感到有点紧张。之前一直都非常忙所以没空去查看我代表的艾德菲大学的详细资料，直到临出发前的几个小时才有时间瞄几眼。我抽出一个小时通过新通国际机构给我的资料以及网上的一些信息拼命地把有用的笔记抄到笔记本上。最后11点匆忙吃过饭就得穿衣服出发。西装西裤是洪欢借的，皮鞋是华瑞借的（在此再次感谢这两位仁兄！），当时一借到就扔到一边没理，现在一穿才发现西装太长了，像穿裙子，鞋子太大了，得往里面塞些东西穿得稳。鞋子把我的脚弄得痛得不得了，可是临时已经找不到人借了，只得硬着头皮忍过去。和彩萍，达洪以及肖波师兄一起赶去香格里拉酒店，一路上我真被他们笑死，真是郁闷！呵呵。
到了我负责的展台不久，我坐下来整理资料，顺便等待艾德菲大学的招生官到来。不久她就来了，她叫Christine, 一来到就非常热情地和我聊起来。我详细地问了她许多关于她们大学的信息，得知她们大学的商学院获得了AASCB的验证，是非常有实力的！而且大学的地理位置非常好，位于纽约的长岛花园城，风景非常秀丽。该大学还为留学生提供丰富的奖学金！我当时想这个大学肯定很多人来看的了。果然不出我所料，2点一开始，大批家长学生涌过来咨询，把我和她忙得不可开交。我在中文和英文中来回穿梭了3个多小时，基本没有坐过，讲得喉咙都干了，只能抽一点缝隙时间喝几口水。Christine 时不时问我要不要帮我叫杯饮料，牛奶咖啡都行，我都婉言拒绝了，因为当时实在太忙了，我想尽快协助她完成工作。中途有一两分钟空闲时间，我们都对视笑了笑，我忍不住叹了句“so many people!”， 她会很高兴地说，“ yeah, but are you still ok?”, 我会自信地说：“ absolutely alright!”然后我们又继续我们的工作……终于到了五点多，一切都完成了，展会结束家长学生也离开了。我和Christine都松了一口气。最后她不停地和我握手，还不停地感谢我，说我做得真的非常好，以后有机会来的话一定再找我做翻译，弄得我受宠若惊，哈哈。她还说很佩服我，能够在中英文之间自由穿梭，可是她对中文却一窍不通，呵呵。最后她还留了她的电话和邮箱给我，叫我如果以后我要申请她们学校的会计专业一定要通知她，她可以帮我争取很多的奖学金，真的让我无比的感动。才短短几个小时的接触，我们却结下了永久的友谊！
最后我们和几个外国的招生官照了相，队员之前也合照了许多，才离开了酒店。大家都觉得这是一次非常愉快及难忘的经历！
坐上地铁我匆匆忙忙地回到了深大，休息了一个小时就得去主持英语角了。前面一部分由于我赶不及回来所以由竹静主持，后面BEC的口语练习才由我来弄。弄完英语角后，我们英语角的管理员们在课室里面试我们的队服，看一下要哪个码数，真的笑死了。最后回到了宿舍，却收到了无数条信息，都是来自参加英语角的同学朋友。他们都说我的BEC那一部分对他们帮助很大，向我表示谢意。所以昨晚绝对是一个无眠之夜，我兴奋了整整一个晚上，呵呵
这就是我难忘的周末了，是不是像小说电视剧一般呢？哈哈

Some people think children who grow up in poor families can deal with problems more effectively in their adult years than children who are raised in rich families. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Nowadays the issue whether family conditions exert a great impact on the children’s personality has sparked a spirited debate. Some people think children who grow up in poor families can deal with problems more effectively than children who are raised in rich families while others may hold the contrary point. But as far as I am concerned, I do not agree with both of the partial viewpoint above. Here is my elucidation.
To begin with, it is doubtless that children in poor families will suffer more than those in rich families. As the family is impoverished, they have to assist their parents to do seemingly endless housework. If the family is living on farm, the children may need to do some farm work such as planting vegetables, clearing the wild weeds, even sowing and reaping the paddy in the scorching sun, which can never be imagined by the rich children. Maybe some of them even have done far more than I have mentioned above! While undergoing such rough experiences, their will and personality will definitely be tremendously and solidly cultivated. They may become tougher in coping with various situations though encountering great setbacks. Hence, poor children may tend to have an iron will and independent way of behaving.
But is it really authentic that poor children are superior to the rich in dealing with problems in their adult years? I do cast doubt on such statement. Needless to say, as I have mentioned above, poor children may go through more ups and downs than the rich. However, the rich students have their own peerless advantages over the poor in numerous aspects that can help them develop superb characteristics. To start with, a financially rich family condition can promise them a favorable living standard that conduces to the development of children’s psychological and physical development. They do not need to face the great pressure for the living as the poor children. Furthermore, rich children are often given the best education. Their parents spare no efforts to send them to the best school, invite the best tutors and provide them with the best facilities, which will contribute enormously to the children’s capabilities to deal with various issues effectively! Moreover, the rich children can enjoy a vast amount of opportunities to travel to innumerable resorts that can largely broaden their horizons. With wider eyeshot, they can know more than the poor children and come up with more methods to solve the problems they come across in the future.
Therefore, based on my elucidation above, it is really difficult to decide who can deal with problems more effectively. To my mind, though condition means much to one’s development of ability, whether a person can make full use of the present resources plays a key role. It is not the conditions but the way you deal with the condition that truly matters! |
