英语作文：The importance of being participants in life

写作思路：可以从只要主动参与，就会有新的发现和收获这个角度出发进行阐述，同时可以列举自己的真实经历等等，中心要明确。

正文：

Personally climbing the top of the mountain will know that climbing the mountain is not only tired, but also gives a kind of pride from the heart. Facing the real life, as long as we take part in it, we will find new findings and gains.

亲自登上山顶，就会知道爬山除了累，其实还会自内心发出一种自豪。面对真实的生活，只要我们主动参与，就会有新的发现和收获。

I remember when I was in primary school, we learned a text about the experience of the Red Army climbing snow mountains. At that time, the sun was shining, and I was a little envious of the Red Army.with excitement and expectation. At first, I was still talking and laughing on the road, but then I became more and more tired and sweated more and more.

记得上小学时，我们学了一篇课文，讲的是红军爬雪山的经历。当时艳阳高照，我竟有点羡慕红军。第二天，学校组织爬山，就去学校旁的小山，我积极地报了名。之后，我怀着激动和期待的心情上路了。刚开始我还在路上有说有笑，但紧接着越来越疲惫，流的汗越来越多。

The sun glared at me with his big eyes, as if laughing at me. It was so hot. But whenever I want to give up, I always tell myself: if I bite my teeth again, I can survive. At the foot of the mountain I want to be careful to step on the air, but also pay attention not to be crowded by other people and lead to somersault. And the mountain road is narrow, with grass. If you are not careful, you will fall.

太阳用他那双大眼睛瞪着我，就像在笑话我一样，热死了。但是每当我想放弃时，我都告诉自己：再咬咬牙，就能挺过去。等到了山脚，真正累人的才刚刚开始。我要小心踩空，还要留意别被其他人挤而导致摔跟头。而且山路又窄，长着草，一不小心就会摔一跤。

But just as I complained about my decision to sign up for the climb, I got to the top. Watching the familiar school become very "small", breathing the fresh air on the top of the mountain, I feel that my previous efforts are worth it. Back at school, I began to think about the hardship of the Red Army, which is not to be envied. At the same time, I also thought about the significance of being so tired.

但是，正当我抱怨着自己做出报名爬山这个决定时，我登顶了。看着熟悉的学校变得很“小”，呼吸着山顶新鲜的空气，我觉得之前的努力都值了。回到了学校，我开始思考红军的艰苦，并不值得羡慕，同时也思考着我这么累的意义。

Those Red Army soldiers also have this strong sense of responsibility and firm will, so even if they encounter any difficulties, they do not shrink back. And I, although I'm tired of shouting, I think since I've signed up, I'll be responsible for my behavior.

那些红军战士，他们也有这强烈的责任感，坚定的意志，所以即使他们遇到的再困难，他们也没有退缩。而我，虽然喊着很累，但我想既然我主动报了名，我就要为我的行为负责。

And those people at the bottom of the society are not like this: they shoulder the responsibility of the family, do the most tiring physical work, with a very low salary, but they still do not put down the burden, which is not a sense of responsibility?

而那些社会的底层人民何尝不是这样：他们担起了家庭的责任，干着最累的体力活，拿着很低的薪水，可他们还是没有放下担子，这何尝不是一种责任感呢？

I had a preliminary understanding of the hardships of the bottom of the society. If I didn't take part in this mountaineering activity, it would be very difficult for me to experience the hardship. Therefore, in the face of real life, as long as we take the initiative to participate, there will be new discoveries and gains.

小小的我，竟对社会底层的艰苦有了初步体会。若我没有参加这次登山活动，我的心里将很难体会这种艰苦。所以，面对真实的生活，只要我们主动参与，就会有新的发现和收获。

我们应该主动地参与生活，就能丰富我们的阅历，增长我们的知识。当我们一步步地提高我们自己之后，我们就能对一些事物产生新的发现和收获。如此得来的收获可远比听老师讲体会得更深。

For students, we are to discover and gain more profound truth in this way, not limited to book knowledge. Therefore, in the face of real life, as long as we take the initiative to participate, there will be new discoveries and gains.

而对于学生，我们就是要在这种方式下发现和收获到更深刻的道理，而不局限于书本知识。所以，面对真实的生活，只要我们主动地参与，就会有新的发现与收获。

The Importance of Being Participants in Life
Nowadays it is common to encounter a scene when people want to see things happen but can't make things happen for various kinds of reasons. Sometimes, they just refuse to be the change in the world.
As far as I am concerned, we should all have the notion of being the participant in our life. For instance, one can't have a healthy body by merely watching others take regular exercises. He must strengthen his body through his own efforts. Another case is that when people intend to acquire new skills, such as public speaking skill, they need to catch every opportunity to speak in the public so that they can achieve success. Furthermore, there are changes we want to see in the world, like protecting the environment effectively, and the only way to make a difference is that each of us should be a contributing participant.
In conclusion, let's go out there to make things happen, just as the saying goes: "Be the change you want to see in the world."
