6. Many people lack the sense of environmental awareness， which is dangerous. If these continue， it will be like the saying， “The last drops of water will be our tears！”很多人缺乏環(huán)境意識，這一點(diǎn)很危險(xiǎn)。如果這樣繼續(xù)下去，正好驗(yàn)證那句話：最后一點(diǎn)水將是我們的眼淚。

7. Honesty is the best policy. It makes people around me trust and respect me， which is very important for me to make a successful life.誠實(shí)是最好的美德，它讓周圍的人信任和敬重我，使我有個(gè)成功的一生。

8. “Attitude is everything！” A positive attitude is like a lighthouse， showing us the road to success， while a negative attitude is like a drug， and leads to death.態(tài)度決定一切。積極的態(tài)度就像燈塔，指引我們走向成功，然而消極的態(tài)度就像毒藥，導(dǎo)致我們死亡。
