　　各位好，我是刘东懂。我是一名学生。有3人在我的家人，我的父亲，母亲和我。

　　我父亲是40岁。他是一名工人。我认为他是一个很好的工人。因为他的作品很难。他起床很早，他每天工作超过10小时。所以，他总是很忙，他看上去很疲惫，当他回家。他喜欢阅读报纸。他通常晚饭后读取它。于是，他得到大量的新闻。

　　我母亲38岁。她是一个工人也。她的作品在一个非常小的工厂。她个子不高，她有两个大眼睛。她爱我，她对我来说是很好的。她总是购买一些书籍对我来说。她希望我是一个顶端的学生。她还关心我的饮食和生活。

　　我15岁。我戴眼镜。我喜欢阅读。我一直在学校读书。我喜欢唱歌，也。我最喜爱的歌手是周杰伦。他的音乐是非常好的。你觉得呢？我也喜欢结交朋友。如果你想和我会面，请写信给我。

　　噢，我的父母爱我，我也很爱他们。我的家庭是一个幸福的家庭。

　　youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of
rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of the will, a
quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of
the deep springs of life.

youth means a tempera-mental predominance of courage over timidity, of the
appetite for adventure over the love of ease. this often exists in a man of
60 more than a boy of 20. nobody grows old merely by a number of years. we
grow old by deserting our ideals.

years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.
worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spring back to dust.

whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being’s heart the lure of wonder,
the unfailing childlike appetite of what’s next and the joy of the game of
living. in the center of your heart and my heart there is a wireless
station: so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and
power from men and from the infinite, so long are you young.

when the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism
and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old, even at 20, but as long as
your aerials are up, to catch waves of optimism, there is hope you may die
青春不是年华，而是心境；青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝，而是深沉的意志，恢宏的想
象，炙热的恋情；青春是生命的深泉在涌流。

青春气贯长虹，勇锐盖过怯弱，进取压倒苟安。如此锐气，二十后生而有之，六旬男子则更多见。年岁有加，并非垂老，理想丢弃，方堕暮年。
岁月悠悠，衰微只及肌肤；热忱抛却，颓废必致灵魂。忧烦，惶恐，丧失自信，定使心灵扭曲，意气如灰。

无论年届花甲，拟或二八芳龄，心中皆有生命之欢乐，奇迹之诱惑，孩童般天真久盛不衰。人人心中皆有一台天线，只要你从天上人间接受美好、希望、欢乐、勇气和力量的信号，你就青春永驻，风华常存。
一旦天线下降，锐气便被冰雪覆盖，玩世不恭、自暴自弃油然而生，即使年方二十，实已垂垂老矣；然则只要树起天线，捕捉乐观信号，你就有望在八十高龄告别尘寰时仍觉年轻。
