Value Every Minute

To realize the value of one year: Ask a student who has failed a final exam.To realize the value of one month: Ask a mother who has given birth to a premature baby.To realize the value of one week: Ask an editor of a weekly newspaper.To realize the value of one hour: Ask the lovers who are waiting to meet.To realize the value of one minute: Ask the person who has missed the train, bus or plane.To realize the value of one second: Ask a person who has survived an accident.To realize the value of one millisecond: Ask the person who has won a silver medal in the Olympics.Time waits for no one.Treasure every moment you have. 珍惜每一分钟

要想知道一年的价值，问期末考试不及格的学生。想知道一个月的价值：问一个母亲谁给出生的早产儿。要想知道一周的价值，就去问周报的编辑。要想知道一小时的价值，问在等待见面的情侣。要想知道一分钟的价值，问谁的人已经错过了火车，汽车或飞机的人。要想知道一秒钟的价值，就去问刚闪过一场车祸的人。要想知道一毫秒的价值，去问在奥运会上夺得银牌的人。时间不等人。珍惜你拥有的每一刻。

Withou her, I couldn’t be standing here.She is a young ad lovely lady with beautiful eyes.Her voice sounds sweet and she speaks English very well.That was the first impression she left on us when she first gave us an English lesson.

In her class.she taught us carefully and patiently.She always made chances for us to speak English.She gave us many beautiful pictures to talk on them,played games with us and told us many interesting stories. Little by little,I had interest in English.But English was a new to me,I had many difficulties in learning it well.It was Ms .Li who helped me to practice speaking English everyday. She always encouraged me whenever I lost heart.She helped me o have confidence in myself.She gave me what I needed---courages,confidence,good ways to learn English and chances to speak English in class.So I was grateful for her. Now I will give her my best wishes. I wishes my dear teacher happiness ,good health and good luck.And I also want to say to her:Thank you , Ms .Li.I love you.
