Tuesdays with Morrie

瑞典女生給我一個測驗，看看學grammar學了幾個月，有沒有進步。由於之前工作很忙，沒有時間溫習（其實是懶！），所以沒有溫習便應考了。一邊答題，一邊發現自己回答問題的時候比以前短，呵呵～算是有一點點進步吧！

不過，我還是犯了不少careless mistakes，明明可以做得更好啊！嗚嗚！

下文是測驗要寫的短文：


Have you heard of "Tuesdays with Morrie"? It’s a small book about an old Professor and his student, Morrie. That Professor got an illness, he would die, not immediately but very slowly. Death was like a train, rushed to the Professor from far away to very close, however, he couldn’t do anything to stop it. Morrie was his student when he was young. He used to believe dreams and everything was wonderful in the world, but he didn’t believe it when he grew up. He fought with paper works and endless tasks everyday, he felt lost, wondering what was the meaning of life. Morrie met his old Professor one day, they started the final thesis in the rest of the Professor’s life. He went to the house of the Professor every Tuesday, talked about Love, Forgiveness, Family, Money, Fear and Death, and the topic of the thesis was ”A meaningful life”.

I love the chapter of ”Forgiveness”. The Professor didn’t forgive one of his old friends, it was because that friend didn’t show his caring for the Professor’s wife after she was recovered from illness. The Professor felt hurt, rejected calls from his friend. He wished not to see him anymore, and his wish came true, his friend died in cancer, they wouldn’t meet ever again. If the Professor could have one more chance, he wished he could hang around with his old friend. He felt very regretful.

We not only need to forgive others, but also have to forgive ourselves, to forgive we haven’t done something and we haven’t done something that we should do, for example, ”I wish I could write more books”, ”I wish I could do better in my job”, however, the Professor told us it was meaningless, it only made you crazy and frustrated.

I have many regrets too: I wish I could have traveled somewhere when I was young; I wish I could study abroad; I wish I could have explored my life when I was 20, but I didn’t do anything because I was afraid. I didn’t believe that I could manage my life without parents, I didn’t even think about what I wanted to do. I graduated from university with good academic results, but my soul was empty.

Time flies, life goes on, I learnt that I can’t make the choice again, I can’t change the past, but I can change the future. The only thing that I should do is to enjoy every minute and second of my life, make it good, so that I won’t feel regret when I grow old.
