| Being a youth (青年) is one thing, and being a good one is another. A good youth should have these qualities(品质): First of all, health. A healthy body is the best riches (财富). Without it, nothing can be done well. If you are poor in health, you will have to take medicine day after day. Even you can"t work, do sports and so on. Secondly, one must have a kind heart. Always do something for others. Help those in trouble and care about the people around you. If everyone did the same, what a wonderful world it would be! Thirdly, one must have the ability(能力) to work with others. Cooperation (合作) and communication are two important keys to better human relations (关系). Everyone needs friends because no one can live through life alone. Patriotism is also something we should never forget. Patriotism means a love for one"s country. It is one of the highest qualities of humans". Everyone should love his country. But people sometimes think that patriots (爱国者) must be fighters fighting for their country in hard times. That is wrong. A good youth"s work is not only fighting. A good youth will do the things his country asks him to do. I think a good youth of today should also have some training in art. If everyone can enjoy art and be able to make more of it for others, then people will live better and enjoy more. | |
