Prompt
Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and assignment below.
Technology promises to make our lives easier, freeing up time for leisure pursuits. But the rapid pace of technological innovation and the split second processing capabilities of computers that can work virtually nonstop have made all of us feel rushed. We have adopted the relentless pace of the very machines that were supposed to simplify our lives, with the result that , whether at work or play, people do not feel like their lives have changed for the better.
Adapted from Karen Finucan,Life in the Fast Lane

英文作文 篇2
My mother once said, “Find what you love to do, and then find a way to make money doing it.” I do believe I have found that something. For the last seven years, there has been no question of what I want to be when I grow up- “Famous.” I have been performing musical numbers since I began playing the violin at the age of four. When I was in elementary school I added private piano lessons, Mesa State College youth orchestra, and youth Music Theater to my performance pursuits. In middle school I played clarinet and drums in the school band, joined a bluegrass group, and entered fiddling and piano competitions. My instrumental music was ultimately edged out, however, after I started private voice lessons and high school choir. By the end of my freshman year, I knew Music Theater was my true love. Although it is a time consuming activity, I find I am the happiest when there is at least one musical production in the works. I enjoy the entire process from the auditions to the final curtain call; therefore, my primary goal over the course of my existence is to be on stage as much as possible, in more challenging roles and productions.
Although I have been active in a variety of school activities and programs, Music Theater has been my life. I have been in thirteen professional productions, three high school productions, and ten youth productions, to date, totaling over 250 performances! During the last seventeen months, I have been in ten shows back to back. Rarely has there been a week when I was not performing, rehearsing, or both simultaneously.
My favorite shows? I enjoy the challenge of six to seven performances a week, Adrenaline can get you through a weekend, but you really need to develop your character to be able to bring it back to the stage every night for nine weeks. My favorite role would have to be Luisa in Fantasticks. I wish I could still be performing that every week with James Werner (director/voice teacher) and cast. My most challenging performance would be Bianca in Kiss Me Kate. I had four hours to learn all the lines, blocking, and three solos for this lead part before performing to a full house as the understudy.
The intense feeling I get when preparing for any show, then stepping out on stage, absorbing the bright lights, and connecting with an audience cannot be explained. Perhaps it can be compared to a spelunker exploring a new cave, or an author finding a new idea for their next book; however, unlike these professions where this feeling comes very sporadically, when in a show I get to experience this feeling six times a week, if not more. I can only hope to maintain this passion and become a life-long-performer.
The big question is, now that I have found “that something” and know what I want to do with my future, how do I make money? Currently, I am a BM classical vocal performance major. The University of Denver and the Lamont School of Music has given me a very generous scholarship to be a part of the program, and I could not be happier. However, in addition to challenging and improving my vocal, acting, and dancing skills, I would like to acquire a business management background. My ultimate goal is to head to Broadway, and I recognize the need for a “day job” (beyond waitressing) to support my theatrical desires. It may sound like a flaky dream to some, but by balancing my theater experience with a solid business background, I believe I can acquire the skills that will prepare me for a successful life in New York.
In my “dream future,” I would be a business administrator of a corporation by day, working my way towards a lead role in a Broadway production by night. With both of these careers underway, I plan on living in a reasonably sized “walk-up” apartment right outside the heart of Manhattan. Before long, a husband and two children enter the picture, but not until I am extremely secure with myself, both financially and emotionally and am ready to dedicate all my time and effort to my family. Eventually, when the appropriate time came, I would continue performing, but still leave enough room in my schedule to successfully manage the household.
Growing up in a loving and stable home has helped me understand how important it is for me to create opportunities for my children. Without the help of my parents, I would not have such a crystal-clear picture of what I want in my future, and I would want to open the same doors for anyone I bring into this world.
Obviously, I expect a lot of my future and realize the need for more than a vocal performance degree to fulfill (pay for) all my dreams. Not to say that I am not learning “practical” things through the Lamont School of Music- in fact I am absorbing a great deal of valuable information even outside vocal and performance technique (i.e. how to control an unpredictable life as a musician)- I just value other aspects of education as well, and I am sure large corporations do too. For instance, in an interview situation I might have tremendous people skills and make a wonderful first impression, but if I am completely oblivious to a Data Management System or any specific technology to the business, what good am I to hire? I have seriously considered the limitations that come from a one-sided education, and plan on eventually undertaking a business major.

Recently,CCTV has conducted a survey on "Do you feel happy?".For happiness,everyone has his own definition.In my opinion,it is easy to get.
Happiness is about knowing what you want and keep in mind what you've got.Therefore,no matter where you're born or how much your parents have;no matter what you look like or what you believe in,just to rise to become whatever you want and to go on to achieve great things,you will be happiness.Although you may be failed,the most important things are you know what you want and believe it. Although the furture is unknown.We will miss the road of life at sometime.We always look forward to achieving more,we keep working but nothing happened,and the hole in our heart became larger and larger.We have no reason to be happy.But,do you know what you still have got?Please look back,it is the family that stand behind you from beginning to all.You will feel warm,and this is happiness.
When knowing all of these, you will know how to do in the future.It is easy to be happy,isn't it?
英文作文 篇6
Cleaner, I admire you, you should learn silently selfless dedication -.
Most of the people who admire it are famous scientists, or great people familiar with it, but I admire the street angels cleaning workers who are unknown.
I saw a story: a dustman was beaten by a group of small posters when he advertised a small advertisement at the bus stop at the bus stop. It's true that those who put up small ads are obviously wrong, not only do not admit mistakes, but also hit the cleaning worker. That's disgusting. He doesn't even think about it. Don't you save money for publicity? You can't ruin our homes.
Think carefully, some people because they are humble and belittle them, and because they dirty, see them, avoid everywhere, or even tell the child, do not contact him. But if our earth has no cleaner, the earth will be everywhere is dirty, become people, not out of the house at The atmosphere was foul.. Has everyone thought of this situation? Have you thought about it? Why do cleaners have to clean the city? Is it because cleaners pay a high salary? But they can't afford to buy good clothes. Is it because they love to sweep the streets? Can they all of a sweat. In fact, the cleaner is also because of their knowledge level is not high enough to engage in the cleaning industry. But they still make contributions to society. Cleaner, let our next generation can have a good living environment.
How ordinary and great the cleaners are! They make our city so clean and so beautiful. I think they're worth a lot more than we do.
Cleaner! I admire you! I want to contribute to the people as much as you do.
英文作文 篇7
Today, I will talk about something about friendship.
I hold that friendship is a necessity in life. Of course, the majority of people will agree with me.
Friendship is a kind of human relations. It is a human instinct to make friends. It plays an important role in our daily life.
Friendship not only brings us a lot of happiness, but also reduces the sense of loneliness. Because friendship is a basic source of hope in our lives .For example, when we are happy, we can share our feelings with friends; When we are sad, friends are good listeners who can give us suggestions to make us get rid of it, if we are in trouble, we can turn to friends for help, friends will surround us and friends will offer us support and encouragement.
Every one of us needs friends, so that we can depend on each other. People want to do friends favors and hate to break a promise. In contrast with marriage, there are no friendship ceremonies to strengthen the association between two persons. But the supporting and understanding of each other does seem to a powerful bond, which can overcome differences in background, and break down barriers of age, class or race.
In terms of real friendship, true friends share not only joy, but more often they share sorrow. As we get to know people, we take things into account, like age, race, economic conditions, social position, and intelligence. To the true friendship, these factors are not of prime importance. Close friends just have similar ideas and beliefs and have attitudes and interests in common.
Friendship is also a bridge between people to communicate with each others, which let us understand each other better. In the modern age, people attach more importance to relations and connections. Different people will make our minds more advanced and mature.
To me, I will never forget my old friends and keep making new friends. With friendship, life is happy and harmonious. Without friendship, we will be denyed with fortunate and happiness. Therefore, I think friendship is necessity in our daily life.
That’s all. Thank you.

The future is beautiful, the future is bright, the future is colorful and the future is full of vitality. I yearn for the future, I yearn for the future, so I have to think about the future.
Clothes, the clothes of the future can be magical. You can wear long sleeves in summer, because you have a cooling device in your clothes, like an air conditioner, which gives off cool air. This summer wears long sleeves neither tan nor heat.
Food, the future food is rich. They don't do it, they do it. It knows all over the country, and if you tell it what you want, it will do it for you. The robot is beautiful and affordable, and has local features. And the future food will have many styles, more flavors, more brands, more reliable, and rest assured.
The houses of the future will not be on the ground, as they are now, but in the air. It's beautiful, green and cheap. People can adjust the temperature at any time and they will be comfortable.
In the future, the vehicles and airplanes are mainly used for the transportation of the vehicles. The car not only has some functions of the aircraft, but also the interior facilities are very complete, which is a small "home".
Ah! I look forward to the future, I look forward, I think about the future. I believe that after my own efforts and good study, I will realize it.
