卿恒健

【Abstract】What is life？ Different people may have different opinions. For me， life is more than life and it is that brings the goodness of life. And the goodness of life lies in itself. This paper will study the goodness of life from four aspects. It nurtures from the moments. It benefits me from the moment when I have great expectations for the future， when I have huge thankfulness for my parents， when I have appreciation on the friends and teachers， and when I have great longings for the freedom.

【Key words】life； goodness； relationship； freedom

The goodness of life lies in my great expectations for the future. With a new surrounding， I have a clearer goal for my future and a more realistic goal-to a good college. That is why I come here and thus begin to form a good habit of study. Thus my life has become more routinized and my progress has been made more greatly and got praised from teachers and parents. I learn more about knowledge. In English I learn the best way to study is to use it as possibly as you can. Singing songs and watching TV series without subtitles also works well. In Chinese， I can write poems and become interested in the Chinese idioms and Chinese characters. By doing this I learn language and also learn its culture behind the language. In Physics and Math I learn the right way to solve the problems. And in the computer class， I can master the basic usage of computer. Every time the more I learn and study， the nearer my future is. This is what the goodness of life is.

The goodness of life lies in my thankfulness for my parents. For most of us， family is our sky that shelters from the wind and rain and protects our health from hunger and harm. Despite our current surroundings in which we must accommodate in school， we have more time to experience the kinship from afar distance. In school， most of our students spare little time to communicate parents face to face. Thus we are more likely to miss our parents and when being together， we always cherish the moments. And besides we can share our moments through the Internet and text messages. By doing this we can care about each other and understand them more. We experience love from them when they send clothes and delicious meals and pocket money to us. On weekends they make meals and share the leisure time with us. This is what the goodness of life is.

The goodness of life lies in appreciation on the friends and teachers. We live in harmony and get along with each other. For three years， I have and will have more friends and playmates and roommates. What they bring me？ In Little Prince， the companionship with the fox and flower bring the little price the warmth and dependence and make them unique in every ways. That also works for me. They share happiness and sorrow with me. Even making fun of me by calling nickname make us laugh a lot instead of anger. Friendship means we are being together in and after class. We can run to the canteen and do the duty and wash hairs. We share secrets and likeliness. This heals a lot and when I am blue they can encourage me and listen to my stories. As to the forbidden love， some works well only when each of them has the same goal for the future. This cannot be called love but the likeness. Whats more， the goodness of life lies in the good teachers. As for the teachers， I have many great teachers.They communicate with students.Some are humorous which makes us active Some are serious and some are strict. English teacher has helped us improve English，

thus evoking our enthusiasm for the love of English and we adopt various ways of learning English. This is what the goodness of life is.

The goodness of life lies in the longings for the freedom. Freedom is precious， and it is superior to love and life. Playing does not necessarily mean a waste of time. It means a will of freedom. Time can be used in the way you want and even sleeping and eating， skating and seeing movies and listening to the songs on spare time are the reflection of freedom-to do what you want to do. Attending school activities is a free activities which bring happiness. This is what the goodness of life is.

The goodness of life is of very importance. It lies in the pursuit of the future and stay in touch with friends and family and it brings freedom， which will lead to the happiness.
