第一篇：英語作文,諺語proverb

Life is about growing up during growing up.This is the proverb I like most, which I gain in senior high school, when I think about a lot of things somehow.But from then on, this proverb has been company with me up to now.It has a limitless charm to me.Life is growing.And I know I have to advance, but not go back or obtain nothing with the time going by, otherwise I am not growing, and I am not living.Life means to grow up during growing.It is to say that I should be brave do what I should do without hesitate.It is not so much terrible to do wrong things, but not to do or not to learn after that.Learning is not only on class, in school, but every minute spent.The more I learn, the easier and happier I will live a life.I believe that if only I keep this in mind, I will win a great future.By the way, this proverb is said by me.
