2. In your own words,summarize the
character of the knight from the brief
introduction in this excerpt?
The
knight displays many traits which make him seem
almost too good to be true, and a true gentleman
that rarely exists in reality.
The
knight holds four main admirable traits, making
him the most liked traveler in
doubt of
his realism. From the characters impressive
introduction, it is clear that this man is the
most valued and honorable traveler
among the group. This perfect gentleman
holds a love of ideals that are often not
displayed by people. First and foremost, he
believes
in the ideals of chivalry, and
always stays true to its principles. He also feels
that one should be honest, truthful and faithful,
which
many
people
are
not
all
of
these
ideals.
The
knight
thinks
one
should
only
do
what
is
right,
and
what
will
gain
him
honor
and
reputation. This character also
believes in freedom and generosity towards all,
and displays this ideal repeatedly throughout the
novel.
And lastly, the knight also
strongly feels that any proper person should
display courtesy and elegance at all times.
Another aspect of this character's life
which makes him seem too prestigious to be
truthful is his impressive military career. He
fought
in the holy war, The knight
obviously held a very respectable reputation, and
was treated with much honor and respect. He was a
perfect
gentleman,
showing
kindness
and
understanding
to
everyone
he
came
in
contact
with.
The
knight
was
extremely
well-mannered,
always
being
on
his
best
behavior.
His
appearance
was
the
touch,
adding
honor
and
integrity
to
his
courageous and gentle spirit.
This main character was
clothed still in his armor, wearing a tunic of
harsh cloth and his coat of mail is
rust-stained, clearly showing remaining
signs of past battles.

does the poet
answer the question he puts forth in the first
line?
(Page 14)
The poet opens with a question that is
addressed to the beloved,
“thee” to the
summer time of the year. It is during this time
when the flowers are blooming, trees are full of
leaves, the we
ather is
warm,
and it is generally considered as an enjoyable
time during the year. The following eleven lines
in the poem are also dedicated to
similar comparisons between the beloved
and summer days. In lines 2 and 3, the speaker
explains what mainly separates the young
woman from the summer's day: she is

a simple statement of praise about the beauty of
the beloved woman and perhaps summer to the
speaker is
sometimes too unpleasant
with the extremes of windiness and heat that go
along with it. However, the beloved in the poem is
always
mild and temperate by her nature
and nothing at all like the summer.
At last, the poet starts to praise that
the beloved is so great and awing that she is to
live forever in this sonnet. The beloved is so
great
that the speaker will even go as
far as to say that,

2. What
makes the poet think that “thou” can be more
beautiful than summer and immortal?
At the very beginning, the poet puts
forth a question: “Shall I compare thee to a
summer’s day?” Then he gives an answer: “Thou art
more lovely and more temperate.” On the
one hand, “Rough winds do shake the darling buds
of May, and summer’s lease hath all
too
short a date;” on the other hand,
“Sometime too hot the heaven shines, and often is
his gold complexion dimmed.” So from the above
two aspects the poet thinks that “thou”
can be more beautiful than summer. In addition,
“And every fair from fair sometime
de
clines,
by
chance,
or
nature’s
changing
course
untrimmed.”
Compared
with
immortal,
“But

not

nor
lose

of
that

ow’st,
nor
shall
death
brag

his
shade,
when
in

lines

times
thou
grow’st.”
Therefore, the
poet draws a conclusion: “So long as men can
breathe or eyes can see, so long lives this, and
this gives life to thee.” In
this poem,
the poet makes “thou” more beautiful than summer
and immortal because of his beautiful lines. So in
this case, “thou” in
the
poem
can
be
regarded
as
fe

because

Or
“thou”
can
be

for

make

“beauty” which will become eternal in the
wonderful poem.

an impediment or he
lp to one’s career
development?
In the easy Of
Marriage and Single life, Bacon prefers marriage
to single life. He thinks “unmarried men are best
friends; be
st
masters; best
servants; but not always best subjects; for they
are light to run away; and al
most all
fugitives are of that condition”,
“Wives are young men’s mistresses;
companions for middle age; and old men’s nurses”.
I have to say his words can
still be true today; I’m at his back, though many
young people now choose to remain single no
m
ater
male or female. But
since “3S ladies” or “overleft ladies” become the
catch word, the female seems more terrible. Maybe
becau
se
women are easier to
get old but to men 30 is the gold ages of career
development. For the main reasons of 3S ladies,
some are high
standard for husband;
some are the further studying. For men, maybe they
are fighting in business; maybe they are too bad
to find a
wife.
Then we can see all the
state of present marriage. Even though some say
“marriage is the tomb of love”, I y
et
support marriage.
Marriage and family
make people more responsible and loving, make
deeper love between spouses and make life more
colorful.
The ability to
love and be loved is the most precious of gifts
given to man, which should be highly treasured.
Family let a man
learn to care the
whole unit. He has to take good care of his wife
and son, love them, be responsible for them, all
of which are the
same to women. All
these qualities are vital to anyone’s career. When
you work back home, wife or husband
is
always the listener to
you, son the
warm heart to you. Spouses help each other and
support each other; family is the harbor for soul.
Thus it is hel

What
’
s more, he
is likely to have a go at any risks that make him
feel exciting and fresh for being free from any

However, a married man always
tends to think twice before making an important
decision in order to prevent bringing any harm to
his
family. He should have the
motivation to work hard to fulfill wife and

prefers marriage to
single life. Do you find his arguments convincing?
Yes. I think Bacon’s arguments are
convincing. In the demonstration process, Bacon
uses the method comparison to analyze the
advantages of marriage and the
shortcomings of single life in order to tell us
marriage is better than single life. Taking the
sentence
“wives
are
young
men’s
mistresses,
companions
for
middle
age,
and
old
men’s
nurses”
for
example,
it
is
quite
convincing
and
reasonable. Marriage can
bring happiness to people. It is the ecstasy when
people pursue marriage in their youth. To a young
man, on
one hand, a wife needs his care
and good graces. A wife is a flower and a man
should pay much attention to her and give her
special
love.
On
the
other
hand,
women
are
always
older
than
men
according
to
their
mental
ages.
So,
wives
are
more
mature
than
her
husband
and she could make many decisions and arrangements
for the family. That is why wives are young men’s
mistresses. When
a
man in
his middle age, he needs his wife to help him not
only in the career but also in the family life.
The middle-aged man suffers
great
pressure in career and he wants his wife to
support the family together. Also, he could
confide his troubles to his wife. So, that is
the reason for having a wife in middle
age. When the man grows older, his body is not so
strong like before. So, he needs his wife to
take care of him and do the things as
“nurses” for him. In addition, an old man is
always like a child and he needs special
a
ttention
from his wife. So,
according to the reasons mentioned above, a wife
is always necessary to a man and a wife always
plays important
and irreplaceable role
in a man’s life. In addition, the argument is the
conclusion according to Bacon’s
long—
time observation and
consideration towards life. From my
perspective, his arguments are convincing.
I think his arguments are convincing.
Bacon’s basic idea is that marriage is good to
both individual and society. His
analysi
s is taken
step by
step. At first, a single man thinks just to live a
single life can he make some great contributions
to the society. But a single
person
only cares about himself, he doesn’t pay attention
to the future, it can be very unwise. Single life
could also make a
man to be
serious to his freedom. On the
contrary, marriage makes a man be responsible,
tender, enthusiastic and warm-hearted. As the
author
saying: “wives are young men’s
mistresses, companions for middle age, and old
men’s nurses”. It means that when a man is
youn
g,
wife talks about love
with him, when he comes to middle age, wife always
stay with him as a companion, when he becomes old,
wife
will take care of him till the end
of time. Even though a wife marries a bad husband,
marriage offers a good chance for husband to
correct themselves.
The whole essay’s main point is very
obvious, auth
or tells from two aspects.
Firstly, he says how bad it is to be a single man.
Secondly,
he tells a lot of advantages
of being married. Each aspect has enough proof. At
Bacon’s period, his arguments may be more
con
vincing
than nowadays.
论读书
are now
living in the age of “information explosion”. What
lessons can we learn from Bacon’s< of studies> in
our
access to information?
Our planet is developing forward. The
fast-moving development of science and technology
makes it more convenient for students to
get sufficient and effective
information by countless ways. That is the
external condition for our study, which we can
appropriately
make
full
use
of.
But
what
we
have
to
keep
in
mind
is
that
the
eternal
master
of
study
is
no
one
but
ourselves
in
the
process
of
studying.
Actually, I’m
sure everyone clearly knows the importance and
significance of reading, of studies. However, the
biggest proble
m is that
they
hardly have powerful resistance to those
temptations around us, such as new-style video
games, latest Hollywood block-buster,
Avril
Ramona
Lavigne’s
next
concert.
Placed
in
the
information
current,
young
students
are
difficult
to
rationally
deal
with
the
flooding
information.
The
terrible
result
is
that
they
become
more
and
more
indifferent
to
reading
books,
and
whenever
academic
assigns come , we
just start up their computer and access to
information on the Internet no matter how much
information they
can
really
copy and make use. What a pity!
As to
efficient study methods to all t
hese
information, Bacon insists on the combination of
theory and practice, “studies themselves do
give forth directions too much at
large, except they be bounded in by experience.”
And in terms of books which mean for
today
not
only paper books
but also information online for example
e-
books, Bacon holds the view “some
books are to be read only in parts;
others to be read, but not curiously;
and some few to be ready wholly, and with
diligence and attention”. All the ideas can
d
efinitely
give college
students precious lessons to study and reading
books today.
When we face the flooding information,
some are to be read in part; they’re just
providing nothing than background which can
be
useful to understand and
complete assignments. We cannot merely depend all
on the computer instead of meditate hard on our
own. Of
course, practicing is quite
significant today. In fact, that doesn’t mean
practice should be the action out of papers; in
tur
n, the term
paper
finished on one’s own is a practice of applying
his kno
wledge to practical writing.
Information around us is
showing up without stopping. They are all never
checked by experts, true or false. We access to
them
when in need. Still we have to be
cautious and just view them as a reminder or
brainstorm resources to help integrate our ideas
to well organize the whole assignment.
This is the right attitude to information and to
our own study.
what sense does reading make a full man?
Reading makes a
full man. Histories make men wise, poets, witty;
the mathematics, subtle; natural philosophy, deep;
moral, grave;
logic
and
rhetoric,
able
to
contend.
Reading
histories
makes
people
learn
lessons
from
the
ancient
time,
avoid
making
the
same
mistakes and predict
the development of things. People who read
histories will be wiser than these who just act
according to their own
preferences
without learning from histories. Reading poem s
makes people learn the beauty of language, the
beautiful classical style of
art and
live a poetic life. People who read poems will be
w
ittier than these who haven’t feel the
beautiful mood and pure life. Reading
mathematics makes people focus on the
accurate calculation, develop a scientific
attitude, and form a pragmatic spirit. People who
read mathematics will be more subtle to
consider
things from all aspects and do
things from the drop carefully than these who
don’t
read. Reading natural philosophy
makes people pursue truth, explore the unknown
mystery, and practice actively. People who read
natural philosophy will be deeper than
these
who don’t learn the theory of
reflecting the truth. Reading moral makes people
learn the
way of harmony living, form
the principle of ethical behaviors and develop
correct outlooks on values. People who read moral
will be
graver
than
these
who
behave
with
out
correct
principles
and
can’t
deal
with
different
relationships.
Reading
logic
makes
people
master the rules of thinking, dealing
with different things and exploring objective
reality. People who read logic will be more
contend
to have clear ideas,
mate
r the principles of objective truth
than these who don’t act according to rules.
Different kinds of reading
materials play different roles in making a full
man.
People should get into
different reading fields
and
train
themselves
to
become
a
comprehensive
talent.
Reading
will
do
good
to
one’s
physical
health
according
to
some
reading
materials
of
physical
training.
What’s
more
important,
reading
promotes
the
development
of
logic
thinking
and
morality. People can be
called a full man on condition that they have fine
quality, delicate self-cultivation and strict
morality.
Try to read extensively and
become a full man.
As
far
as
I’m
concerned,
reading
can
make
a
full
man,
can
cultivate
a
man,
and
can
make
a
man
move
forward
in
the
way
he
understand the view of the world, the
life and the value. A full man should have a
positive world view and adopt an active philosophy
of life, which are usually based on a
balanced knowledge structure. From Francis Bacon’s
Of Studies, I know that the essay no
t
only
introduces the methods of reading
books and discusses the purposes and functions of
reading, but also analyzes the different attitudes
of the people who are reading books.
Most importantly, we can know how to be a full man
from reading.
Francis
Bacon’s Of Studies says “Histories make men wise,
poets, witty; the mathematics, subtle; natural
philosophy, deep; moral,
grave; logic
and rhetoric, able to contend.” That is to say, we
read all kinds of books in order to have more
perfect knowled
ge and
form
critical thinking which can make us be a full man
by reading. .
Reading can make a full
man. That is to say, we should read more books
which are useful and helpful for us. Reading can
enlarge our knowledge in different
fields.
From Of Studies, studies serve
for delight, for ornament, and for ability. It
means that
studies can make people
happy, wise, increasing knowledge. If we read all
kinds of books, we are able to taste what might
not happen
to us in real life, and then
ask ourselves what we would do in that situation.
Besides, we read more books and fewer mistakes
would be
made by us. For that, we can
learn more mistake examples from books so that we
will make few mistakes in the future. So reading
can
make a man full because it can make
the man taste all the emotions about the world and
have a true understanding about the life.
Of Studies also teach us
that we should choose some book to read, but not
read all the books. Some useful books should be
read
carefully and taken notes.
Different books have different functions, the
essay tells us that reading different books can
bring different
knowledge which we
lack. The essay says that different books have
different methods to read.
In a word,
reading books of certain field brings certain
knowledge and ability we lack. Of Studies gives us
the method of reading
books and getting
knowledge. It also tells us different books have
different functions for us. So whether reading
makes a full man lies
in what books you
read and how you read. Reading a right book can
make a man more wise, more emotional and more
respected.

1. Why does the poet say
that
The speaker tells his beloved to
look at the flea before them and to note
says, has sucked first his blood, then
her blood, so that now, inside the flea, they are
mingled; and that mingling cannot be called
or shame, or loss of
maidenhead.
2. What do you think is the
addressee's parents' attitude toward the poet's
wooing?
The addressee's parents'
attitudes are against him. (...Though parents
grudge...)
3. What is the real purpose
of the poet to say that in killing the flea
He compares the killing of the flea to
murder. It would be “three sins in killing three”
(l. 18) since he and his lover would
be
killed
within the flea if she were to
follow her natural tendency to dispose of the
insect.
He even states that
the act of killing the flea would
be
“sacrilege”.
This is a term
that is generally applied to acts that go against
religion.
If the lover
denies the fact tha
t their blood,
and therefore their lives, are
contained within the flea, it is similar to
committing an irreligious act.
This would seem to make the
reverse,
to
acknowledge
their
closeness
within
the
flea,
compatible
with
religion.
To
acknowledge
this
closeness
is
also
to
acknowledge that it is
allowable, which could lead to the conclusion that
Donne wishes his lover to arrive at: she should
give in to his
desires because there is
nothing wrong with the intimate mingling of two
people.

do you
think of Crusoe’s way of marking time? Why is it
important for him to keep track of
time?
A good way. He doesn’t
want to forget time. For a civilized man, time is
precious.
this excerpt,
what do you find admirable in Robinson Crusoe?
Strong-minded,
careful,
capable,
persevering,
optimistic,
ambitious,
self-reliant,
clever,
practical,
adventurous,
patient,
rational,
sympathetic, hardworking, imaginative,
energetic, courageous, amiable (kind-hearted).
First of all, he is adventurous. Unlike
common people, Robinson is eager to take
adventures. So he is brave under most
circumstances
and curious about new
things. Even when he was left in a deserted
island, he was not afraid of what he was
confronted with. W
hat’s
more, during the time he lived in the
island, Robinson was faced with lots of
difficulties. However, he has overcome all of them
with
strong will and firm
determination. And he tries his best to survive
and takes an optimistic attitude towards life.
Instead of despair,
Robinson is full of
passion in such a harsh situation. He never gets
frustrated by failures and always perseveres in
making efforts to
create a new life.
Besides, Robinson pays much attention to details.
For example, when he wants to find a place for his
settlement, he
has taken many aspects
into consideration, such as security, convenience,
and sunshine. Also, he makes a list of specific
figures on
which he can base his
construction. In this sense, Robinson is careful
and considerate. To sum up, Robinson is not only
brave and
adventurous but also wise and
thoughtful. When he has difficulties, he spares no
efforts to overcome them and try his best solve
the
factual problems. What impressed me
most is his optimism and perseverance. All the
good qualities in Robinson Crusoe are admirable
and he shows us a positive attitude
towards life.
Confronting such an
adversity, Robinson showed his amazing willpower
and staunch life-force. He also showed people how
to deal
with adversity in life. Under
such an adverse circumstance, he overcame various
difficulties and created splendor of his life. ~If
he or
she does not make a plan for the
future, he may not get out of the adversity. Take
Robinson as an example, he made a series of plans
about his food, his bullets, his powder
and his daily work. He believed that he would
starve or be attacked when he had not those
things. So he ate very cannily. And he
tried to train the sheep so that he did not waste
so many bullets to shoot them. The truth proved
that it was wise for him to do so.
~Robinson always thought of some new ideas when he
was faced with some difficulties. If he did do
everything with fixed rule, he would
not create the necessities that he needed in his
life. Owing to his ability to bring forth new
ideas,
he solved many problems. And
those ideas helped him overcome the adversity.~
Robinson had been perseverant for twenty-eight
years,
and was saved finally.

describes the mind of the child who is speaking to
the lamb so as to show the gentleness and
tenderness of the
lamb. The lamb is the
symbol of the child to the God. It shows the love
of God that he creates the lamb and Jesus is often
called the lamb of the God. So the poet
not only appreciates the kindness of the lamb but
also praises the mysterious power
which
can create the lamb. In this poem, God, Jesus and
the lamb are combined together.

does the lamb
stand for?
Line 20: When you read the
word
holds, animals such as lambs were
sacrificed to God or gods in general until God
offered his Son, Jesus Christ
–
his lamb
–
as
the final
sacrifice for the sins of mankind. In line 20,
Blake references a version of Christianity that
states that God created
Jesus
(Protestant version vs. the Catholic doctrine of
the Trinity). In any case, you don’t need to know
all the theology, ju
st
that
it
’
s a reference to Jesus
and an allusion to Christianity. Blake asks
whether God, who created Jesus, also created the
Tiger. Also, don’t forget that

1. Why does the poet
mention the Lamb? Do you think both the Lamb and
the Tiger can illuminate each other?
The
Tyger
is
corresponding
to
The
Lamb
.
Both
the
poems
show
the
poet’s
exploration,
understanding
and
plaint
of
the
mysterious creation. In
this poem, the author implies that the Tiger is
created by God as well as the Lamb. So either the
Tiger
or the Lamb is essential to God.
I think both the Lamb and the Tiger can
illuminate each other. Although the Lamb can
represent the kind “innocent society”,
i
t
will be lack of enough
motivation to make progress. While the Tiger will
cause social misery, unrest or even disruption,
but it
can make people release their
creativity. So the poet believes that the Tiger is
the symbol of strength and courage. And he also
praises its passion, desire and all the
lofty beauty.
is the symbolic meaning
of the tiger? What idea does the poet want to
express?
The symbol of the Tyger is one
of the two central mysteries of the poem (the
other being the Tyger’s creator). It is unclear
what it exactly symbolizes, but
scholars have hypothesized that the Tyger could be
inspiration, the divine, artistic creation,
history,
the
sublime
(the
big,
mysterious,
powerful
and
sometimes
scary.

itself. Really, the list is almost infinite. The
point is, the Tyger is impo
rtant, and
Blake’s poem barely limits
the
possibilities
The tiger is the
embodiment of God's power in creation: the animal
is terrifying in its beauty, strength, complexity
and vitality.
The poem is divided into
six parts. In the first part, the author imagined
that he met a terrible tiger on a dark night and
was
frightened by its awful eyesight.
There are creations and creators. How great the
creator is that he could create such an awful
creation
like
tiger!
In
the
second
part,
the
author
continues
to
ask,
where
comes
the
eyesight
like
fire,
sea
or
sky?
The
following
two
parts,
the
author
describes
the
creator
as
a
smith.
He
creates
the
tiger.
What
behind
the
questions
is
the
frightening and respect of the author
to the creator. In the fifth part, the author
changes his tone and asks when the stars throw
down
their
spears,
why
they
are
not
happy?
The
last
part
is
as
same
as
the
first
part,
the
creator
is
too
mysterious
to
understand.
The tiger shows its outstanding energy.
It’s the vitality which the author
thinks highly of. The key sentence of
the poem is
he

does
“cup o' kindness” imply?
Auld
Lang
Syne
(old
long
since)by
Robert
Burns
is
a
narrative
poem
praising
for
friendship.
From
the
title
and
the
first
section
we can easily get it, especially from the words
“acquaintance”, “forgot”, “brought to min'”. After
reading the whole
poem, we will
kno
w “cup o' kindness” here should
imply the friendship between Robert Burns and his
friend that he is now
together with.
“Cup o' kindness” is showed
in the second and the last section, which are both
their reunion occasion. The people in the
poem used to be friends and are old
now; they are gathering to honor their friendship
and memorize their happy childhood
and
adolescence.
After the first “cup o'
kindness”, the author starts to recall their
joyful life: they has run in the brae, picked up
the fin
e gowans,
wandered a
long and weary
journey, paddled in the
stream all the day. But all the nice memory has
been the history “Sin' auld
lang syne.”
And they are best affection and friendship for
them two.
Then again comes
to the present gathering, there is one
mor
e “cup o' kindness” to imply that
how much the author really worships the
friendship and wish for it forever.
“And we'll take a cup o' kindness yet, For auld
lang syne.”

is the relation
between the poet and nature as described in the
poem?
Wordsworth is the
granddaddy of all nature poets, and he’s in top
form in
about their
surprise at finding so many daffodils
in such a strange place, next to a lake and under
some trees.

that
nature produces all the time, as anyone who has
seen the documentary
Planet
Earth
or the Disney movie
Earth
knows.
Wordsworth’s
nature
is
full
of
life
and
vitality.
He
appreciates
its
wildness
and
unpredictability,
but
he
humanizes
the
landscape and fits it to his own mind.
Theme of Happiness
and lonely and missing your
friends, you can use your imagination to fine new
friends in the world around you. As John
Milton
famously
wrote,
mind
is
its
own
place,
and
in
itself,
can
make
heaven
of
Hell,
and
a
hell
of
Heaven.
The
speaker of this poem makes a heaven out
of a windy day and a bunch of daffodils. His
happiness does not last forever
–
he’s
not that unrealistic
–
but the daffodils give him
a little boost of joy whenever he needs it, like
recharging his batteries.
Theme of
Spirituality
The 19th century Scottish
writer Thomas Carlyle coined the phrase
critics to describe how the Romantic
poets, and especially Wordsworth, viewed the
natural world as a spiritual realm. The
idea is that Heaven comes down to earth
and is viewed as
part
of the
world. This poem illustrates the principle of
natural
supernaturalism. The daffodils
are like angels and twinkling stars, and the

and images to make an ode to nature without any

Theme of Memory and
the Past

works.
In both poems, the memory of beautiful things
serves as a comfort to the speaker even after the
experience of viewing
them
has
ended. He
can
always
draw
on
his
imagination
to
reproduce
the
joy
of
the
event
and
to
remember
the
spiritual
wisdom
that
it
provided.
In
the

Cloud,
we
do
not
realize
just
how
far
in
the
future
the
speaker’s perspective is located until
the fourth stanza, when he describes just how
often the daffodils have comforted him.
you think nature can have healing
effect on mind?
I think
nature
can have healing effect on mind,
but the precondition is that the nature should be
peaceful and earthly. Let’s
imagine a
scene. At the very beginning, we felt a little
sad. Then, we place ourselves at a peaceful and
clean lake. We sit on
the comfortable
and green grass. There are several wild flowers on
the grass. Some little birds are walking near us
with chirp.
We can breathe the smell of
the earth. When we are watching it glistening in
the sunshine, there may be a smile on our face
again. Nobody will be not touched in
this condition unless there is something wrong
with his mind. It is just like a picture. Or
it is just like a clean bracing and
ethereal melody. We can close our eyes to listen
to it without any distracting thoughts. It
always can comfort our hearts, and we
will not feel that desperate. Every time I feel
not happy I will listen to a piece of piano
music. That makes me good, all my
fidgeting will go away from me. Sometimes I will
reflect where the problem is. Peaceful
music
is
just
like
the
nature.
Both
they
can
give
me
a
kind
of
feeling
like
mother.
Do
not
be
scared
at
all.
Sometimes
I
suppose if the criminal
can live in the nature and experience it, they
will not do that evil. In another hand, those
artists maybe
can
not
create
the
works.
As
the
author
said,
a
host
of
golden
daffodils
beside
the
lake,
beneath
the
trees,
fluttering
and
dancing in the breeze. The memory made
him excited and brought his lonely heart
happiness. If a writer does not watch any
beautiful scenery, I believe he or she
can’t be a good writer. Peaceful nature
is a place people can release themselves and
remove the unhappiness. In this
circumstance, the writer digs their inspiration.
Yes, I think so. Some
people may think that our nature has been highly
polluted by our hu
man beings. And it
won’t
have
any
effects
on
us.
The
others
may
think
the
nature
has
bad
influence
on
our
bodies
because
of
the
contamination. But I think nature must
have a lot of healing effect on mind. As the
development of the society,
people may
meet more and more difficulties, and it may lead
to more stress. For example, when a person has
worked for a long time, it is hard for
him to do more. He would like to spend sometime
travelling to somewhere. The
place is
best to be beautiful, clean, comfortable, with
clear sky and green grass.
People can breathe the fresh air
there. When he lies on the grass and
watches the sky, he may forget all the stress on
work. The only thing he can
do is to
enjoy the charming scenery and great nature.
Nature
also
can
affect
people
when
they
are
ill
especially
serious
disease.
The
patient
may
feel
their
life
meaningless. At that time, their
families will take them to a remote place. They
may also let the patient have a pet.
During the feeding period, the patient
may feel that a life is so difficult to bring up.
He will heal the spirit to live.
