The son, Johann Strauss the younger, was also very successful and popular. He wrote over 150 waltzes. In 1867 he wrote The Blue Danube waltz.

His family took him around Europe and he gave concerts in many cities. He wrote hundreds of pieces of music. But he became very poor and died in 1791 when he was only thirty-five.

    Moderation (自我调节)

    Pay attention to how you lead your life most of the time. A healthy lifestyle is one that doesn't take extremes (极端)as a way of life. Be moderate in what you do.

    Eat well

    It is important to pay attention to both what you eat and how you eat. As Socrates said: " You should eat to live ;not live to eat." A different diet (饮食)with vegetables and fresh fruits is good for the brain. Also take time off for meals.

    Exercise

    Students must know the value of exercise because it plays a necessary part in counterbalancing (抵消)the stress (压力)responses produced in our bodies by having to meet exams.

    Sleep

    Express yourself

    The way students feel about their work and other issues in their life plays a huge part in how they deal with stress. It is advisable that students should be realistic whatever happens in their lives.

    To sum up, studies are really very important, but never at the expense (代价)of students' physical and mental well-being. Besides, if students feel well they will be ready to face the challenges (挑战) of exams alive and kicking.

五、语篇翻译

  • 22. 语篇翻译

    Friday is here and most of us enjoy what the weekend brings. 1)Maybe you will spend some time on your hobby. 2)没有爱好就没有真正的快乐。Hobbies help our happiness. They give us purpose, meaning, a creative outlet, and they can even relieve stress.

    One of my blog entries, from May of 2016, tells us how hobbies can help us identify some of our passions and that in turn can give us interesting content to include in a life story or memoir.

    3)Certainly things like playing cards or other games, especially at family gatherings, can lead to some good memory. Or what about a day on the lake or the golf course?

    4)You can get geography and history lessons from collecting stamps or coins from around the world.

    One of the things I enjoy is playing guitar. It's a hobby — I am not nearly good enough for pubic performances. 5)但是我喜欢边弹吉他边唱歌, 以此来放松自己。 Get me around a few friends, family members or even a classroom full of students and I might break into a song. I was doing that today with my 5th graders.

    If you want to start a new hobby or even search for new ideas, then check out A Full Guide On How To Start A New Hobby. It's posted on the SewingIsAwesome.com website. Some of the takeaways for me from the article included how hobbies can introduce us to new people, widen our knowledge and skills, and improve our confidence and self-esteem. Win, win and win.
