I have met so many friends in my college life. They have exerted enormous influence on my life. However, one of my most impressive friends is my roommate, Li Ming.
In the class meeting on the first day of school, Li Ming did not impress us at all. We started to notice him because he was always late for classes. We were thus impressed by his laziness. I came to know him and his situation because we were roommates and spent much time together: his mother was seriously ill and sick abed in long-term, his father left him and his mother mercilessly. Hence, it was him that shouldered the heavy burden of taking care of his sick mother supporting the whole family. Finally, under great pressures, he balanced his life and study perfectly: he was no longer always late, took good care of his mother and even won the scholarship many years in a row.
The experience of Li Ming can be one of the most convincing cases of the power of persistence and will. He left a deep impression and imposed a durable influence on me. Indeed, friend such as him can be regarded as asset and property in our life. We have rights to choose our own friends，but we should also be prudent and sensible enough to choose friends who can bring us “positive energy”.

在我的大学生活中，遇到了很多朋友。他们对我的人生产生了重大的影响。然而，我印象最深的朋友是我的室友李明。
在开学第一天的入学班会上，他没有给全班同学留下任何印象。李明让我们开始认识他，是因为他总是上课迟到，同学们都以为是个懒惰的人。因为我们是室友，平时的交往比较多，后来我才慢慢了解到他的情况：原来他的母亲罹患重病，长期卧床，父亲残忍地离开他们而去，照顾生病的母亲和养家重任只能由他来承担了。令人惊讶的是，在重压之下，他将自己的生活和学业平衡地很好：他不再总是迟到，将妈妈照顾的很好并且连续几年获得奖学金。
李明的经历是坚持和意志的作用的最有说服力的例子之一。他给我留下的印象无法磨灭，他对我造成的影响持续深远。的确，这样的朋友被视为我们生活中的财富和资产。我们有权利选择自己的朋友，然而交友的过程中，我都应该足够理智和谨慎，选择那些能够给我们带来正能量的真正的朋友。
The Most Beneficial Activity in My Campus
It is well known that university is greatly different from high school mainly due to that university will hold a large number of activities, which benefits college students a lot. From my perspective, the most beneficial one is “Long-distance Running for Love” organized by the Students Union when I am a freshman. The money collected by this activity is contributed to Project Hope.
It is really my honor to participate the long running, because it benefits me greatly not only in body but also in mind. To begin with, the activity reminds me of the great importance of physical health. Before I go to college, I only focus on academic achievements while the physical health misses my attention. But, the long-running tells me in time that a sound mind lies in a sound body. Additionally, during my participation in this activity, I am informed well that there are still many children in rural areas who have to drop out of school because of impoverished families. Thus, for one thing, I fully realize the great importance of helping them fulfill their dreams. For another thing, I cherish the opportunity to study in university more, for when compared with those children in poverty-stricken areas, we should harbor a grateful heart.
By and large, although I have taken part in many campus activities, I deem the long running for love most beneficial to me. And I am looking forward to that more wonderful and meaningful activities will be held in our campus.

众所周知，大学与高中截然不同，主要原因是大学里会举办很多校园活动，而这些大学活动使大学生受益匪浅。我认为最有益的校园活动是大一时，由学生会举办的“爱心长跑”。这次长跑筹集的善款用于捐助希望工程。
我很荣幸参加了这次长跑，因为这次活动使我的身心都获得了很大裨益。首先，这次活动提醒我身体健康的重要性。在我上大学前，我只关心自己的学习成绩，而忽视了健康。但是，这次长跑及时提醒我——健康的身体孕育健康的灵魂。此外，通过参加此次长跑，我深刻了解到还有许多偏远山区的小孩因为家庭贫困被迫辍学。因此，一方面我充分意识到帮助这些小孩实现梦想是何其重要；另一方面，我更珍惜自己能上大学的机会。因为，和那些贫困地区的小孩相比，我们应该怀有一颗感恩的心。
总体而言，虽然我参加过许多校园活动，但是我认为这次爱心长跑最为有益。我也期待有更多精彩而有意义的校园活动举行。
A course that has impressed you most in college
There are many courses in each college year. But the course which impressed me most in college is Advanced English Audio-Visual & Speaking. The reasons why I like this course are as follows.
The first reason is that I have learnt a lot from this course. My listening ability, speaking ability as well as translation ability has improved greatly after taking this course. The second reason is that I like the teacher of this course, Mr. Qin, very much. He is a charming gentleman with great patience. His oral English is perfect, sounding like American speakers. He treated us very strict but we still like him extremely.
Just as the proverb goes, “A strict teacher produces outstanding students.” Thanks to Mr. Qin’s guidance and teachings in this course, all my classmates have made great progress in English learning.

大学中给你印象最深的一门课
大学阶段各个年级都有很多课程，但给我印象最深的一门课是“高级视听说”。之所以喜欢这门课，有很多原因，现将原因列举如下。
喜欢这门课的第一个原因是我在这门课上学到了很多东西。我的英语听力水平、口语水平和翻译水平都得到了很大提升。喜欢这个课程的第二个原因是我很喜欢教我们这门课的老师——秦老师。他是一个既有魅力又有耐心的人。他的英语口语很棒。乍一听，完全就是美国本土人在讲英语。他对我们要求很严格，但我们依然很喜欢他。
正如谚语所说：“严师出高徒”。多亏秦老师在这门课上的悉心指导和教诲，我们班同学的英语水平都得到了空前的提升。
