As you know, it is important and popular for us Chinese universities to get some professional certificates, because they can help us become more powerful and competitive in the fierce job market. When it comes to the choice of certificates, most students will follow their counterpart and regardless their own capacity and interset. Many people always say that" Ho-hum, let it slide. I'll just drift along. " Here's one problem with drifting: you can't drift your way to the top of the mountain. I want to reinforce my viewpoint that we must make the decision for ourselves!

After months of training for a provincal and national English Speaking contest, I failed in the election of becoming a representitive of my university. In the end, I only earn an honorable mention. All my effort can never be my debut on the splendid stage. Sometimes I wonder that why my way to success is always under construction. In the bottom of my heart, I know that what I have gained in the process is extremely valuable and precious. I have improved my pronounciation and practiced my writing skills and developed my analytical thinking ability. Although I stiil have some problems in speaking English like a native person, I firmly believe that poor pronounciation is a hard habit to break, but it can be done. I told myself the experiences are enough.

Now, my friends, my new aim is to conquer TOEFL. I will devote all my energy and passion to the preparation of it. My teacher has ever told me that "Nothing more than diligence can predict your success. If you lie upon roses when young, you'll lie upon thorns when old. With time and patience the leaf of the mulberry becomes satin." All the difficulties and troubles are dwarfed in the front of the words. Nothing in life is to be feared but understood. If I fully prepared, I can not only survive but also thrive in the exam. Talk the Talk, walk the walk.

Bon voyage!

As a nineteen-year-old young girl, many people tell me something like you are pretty and attractive. Actually, I really happy people like me, but I still have some worries.

Many people do not believe pretty girls can perform well during their work or study, and even some girls themselves mistrust themselves.

Pretty face and bright mind are both the gifts of God. Sometimes we can not get both of it, but it is not the reason for us to put some prejudice on pretty girls and handsome boys. Everyone should not trifle with themselves, both in strength and mind. We should try to make the fullest use of these wealth(I mean pretty face and bright mind).

One of my friends has ever told me that “You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.”

Youth is such a short journey in life. One day, we will all become old. Our skin will be covered with winkle and our hair will be grey. At that time, pretty girls will be old nana. We should learn more when we are young and energetic. Don’t be classical vases, which can just decorate your room, but can never have some practical use.

Youth is not just a time of life, it is a state of mind,. Although we will be old, we can keep young forever.

  Hi Katrina! Here you just confirm what I already suspected... A strong person hidden in a sweet face!   You really went to the core of this question  about beauty and capability. And in the course of it we were allowed to have yourself as an example that these two gifts can found in one person. Happiness!!
