2011年12月17日北美作文题目：
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: It is impossible to be completely honest with your friend.
2011年12月17日北美作文范文：
I know clearly that before the God and the Lord, every human mortal is a liar. But this does not mean that it is impossible to be entirely honest with friends. On the contrary, I have been and will be honest with all my friends.
Unlike the out-of-date commodities in the supermarkets or the fisher’s markets that are discounted or depreciated, my honesty with friends and families is one hundred percent. And I advocate you all, my brothers and sisters in this world and the next, to be honest to your friends.
If you are honest to your friends, and your neighbors and your families as well, you are honest to your own heart and soul. On the contrary, if you tell lie to your friends, you betray yourself. Whose life can be lightened if the soul and heart has been betrayed? I therefore claim that true hearts and intelligent minds will always be honest to others, even to the foes, needless to say the friends.
I am especially interested in explaining what a friend is. Next I discuss why we must be honest with friends, and then we talk about how to be honest with friends.
A friend in need is a friend in deed, as the old saying goes. A friend is a friend. He or she is neither your father nor your mother, but a friend in many cases plays important roles that parents cannot play. Therefore it is necessary to be entirely honest to be a friend. When in the childhood, human beings are born to be honest with friends and foes, if they have. But during the process of growing, human beings are tarnished spiritually and even physically. Gradually, the minds are misled and the individuals are on the brink of going astray. Lies, together with other sins such as jealousness, envy, fury, anger, rage, wrath, greed, voracity, ravenousness, resentment, have flooded into the minds whose thirsty could never be quenched by the fountain of the mundane sins.
The first time of dishonesty with a friend, no matter to what extent, is the very beginning of the injustice and the unrighteousness, which have the inherited evil strength to multiply and finally to ruin the human beings, individually or as a group of society as well.
Honesty is cherished human virtue. Regardless of the race, color, and the distinct dissimilarities among cultures, honesty is considered to be the very foundation and the building blocks of human personality, integrity, and dignity. Any one will be unhappy if he or she is cheated. A small lie might devastate the friendship and destroy everything good to spiritual and mental life.
To be honest to a friend, one is supposed to be the right-doer, not the evildoer. Also, it is necessary to be smart in language. In my life, I see lots of bright minds but sluggish and slow in good language. Although they do not intend to insult or cheat a friend, their words are not sound to the ears. I here say to you, especially my young friends, your words are full of strength. If you control well your words, you win your friends and the friendship will be evergreen as the tress established by the clean streams.
It is not so easy to be entirely honest to friends, but this is just the very significance of our life in this world. My friends, I am entirely honest to you and I hope that you all be honest to me. I myself will be greatly encouraged by your honesty. I love you all and may you love each other and be honest with others in whatever circumstances.
2011年12月09日北美作文题目：
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: Your job has more effect on your happiness than your social life does.
2011年12月09日北美作文范文：
If job and social life were two entirely independent elements, the assertion that my job influences my personal happiness more than does my social life would be well accepted. Unfortunately, in too many days, and in too many circumstances, my job and my social life entangle together, although they are not like the warps and weft of my personal textile of happiness.
My job renders me immense happiness day and night, in spring and in winter as well. This is not because my job is special or distinctly different from yours, my brothers and sisters, nor is it because my job gives me more money or other intangible income measured against the mundane criteria. But it is because I have a very special attitude towards my job. To put it exactly, I am always enthusiastic and even exuberant when I work. I firmly believe that whatever the job is, it is significant to my mental and menial life to the Lord and my God. I work for the glory of the Lord and my God rather than, as the multitude mortals do, for the sake of the Gold. Thus, wherever I am, whatever I do, I am happy. I take job as part of life or an inevitable experience of my spiritual pilgrim process. Even when I was in prison in 1989, when I was forced to clean the filthy toilets, forced to do farm work under the scorching sun without a drop of drinking water, or forced to hand wash their socks and underwear in the cold winter when the water is only available when I broke the ice in the river where the cold winter wind sings. My friends, I say that my job gives me immense happiness because I love life, my life and the life of friends and foes. I love my parents and daughter and my brothers and sisters, and I even love those who persecuted me. My way to love people is to do a perfect job.
Similarly, my social life ranks the same as my job in terms of the happiness rendering. What is your social life? The social life, essentially, is to talk and communicate in whatever forms with others, the people as humble as we are, as sinful as we are, and as thirsty in spirit as we are. They are the brothers and sisters. Some people might ask me whether I hold the same attitude when I was confronted with evildoers or the people haunted by devil. I say to you, my brothers and sisters, they can be cured and well educated, if our human goodness and righteousness is yet not powerful enough to draw them back to the right track, then we pray for the help from the God and our Lord. My social life includes dealing with friends, students, their parents, and other educators. I here make it clear that I am an English teacher. All of my social life delights me.
Both my job and my social life contribute to my happiness. And I pray for the peace and happiness from both the heaven and from this world to your all, my brothers and sisters.
