今年暑假里，我同爷爷奶奶一起到北京参加为学杯作文决赛夏令营活动。
20xx年7月13日的晚上，在主题为《坚持的力量》励志演讲的报告会上，张立勇以自身为例，围绕“惜时、勇气、坚持”六个字，用朴实无华的语言，向我们介绍了他自己如何从一名因家庭贫困高二辍学的学生，从一名农民工，一名普通的厨师，在信念的支撑下，数十年如一日地坚持自学英语，自学通过英语等级考试，托福考试取得630分的骄人成绩，完成了人生的一次次超越的故事令我难忘。
张立勇老师说：“在我学习的时候，最大的困难是有人嘲笑我癞蛤蟆想吃天鹅肉。可是我没有在他们的嘲笑声中退缩，而是更加坚定了自己自学的决心。我学了一段时间之后，感觉还不错，于是，我又动了想参加自学考试的念头，为了实现这个梦想，我为自己制定长大了学习计划。“
有人问他，你是怎么实现自己的学习计划的？张立勇老师又说：”我是一个厨师平时要买菜做饭，没有整块的时间让我学习，我就利用一天三顿饭的时间学习，我给自己规定别人吃饭15分钟，我只用7分钟的时间，剩下的8分钟用来学习，一天就有24分钟的时间，这些时间，我都是躲在碗柜后面学习，为的是不让别人看见。三年的时间，我读了清华大学的新课程教材，背英语都是在饭后8分钟时间完成的，功夫不负有心人，在大学英语四级考试时，我以637分的高分拿到了四级证书。“
张立勇老师接着又说：”考了四级证书之后，我又有了想法，考托福。人们都说考托福难，我认为：不是美国人出的题难，而是你能不能坚持到底，永不放弃！”他接着说：“我想懒是实现梦想的最大的障碍勇气与坚持可以改变自己，有知识才有勇气，勇气也等于运气。张立勇说：”勤奋+勇气+运气+坚持=成功。你要想成功请你享受人间的痛苦与困难吧！享受困难享受煎熬，油炸与水煮的东西就是不一样因为油炸都将水分炸掉了克己才能在自己的字典里永远没有失败！我是一个厨师，一天到晚我喝的是坚持牌自来水用的是爱心牌味精爱的调料健康牌锅。最终我以630的成绩，比清华大学的学生整整高了30分轰动了整个清华大学。
听了张立勇老师的报告之后，我与张立勇老师合影，张立勇老师又为我签名，并且送给我“坚持”两个字。
在这次演讲中，张立勇老师强调了三点：1、在学习中一定要有胆识，要相信勇敢的力量。2、要做时间的经纪人，要学会安排管理自己的时间。3、要相信坚持的力量，nothingisimpossible，不管做什么工作，在什么样的环境之下，只要有一颗愿意上进的心，保持一种上进的状态，然后付诸自己的实际行动，想做的事，就都是可以实现的。演讲中张立勇与我们热情互动，交流英语学习心得，介绍他自己学习英语的实用学法，通过自己几段有趣经历阐述了英语在工作生活中的重要性，他用自己刻苦自学来鼓励我们坚持学习，提倡学习改变命运，奋斗成就人生，知识就是力量，张立勇的.学习韧性和执着精神令我终身难忘！
那就是张立勇老师的报告，让我明白了一个道理：学习改变命运，奋斗成就人生，上帝对待每一个人都是公平的，它会用不同的方式对你付出的艰辛和努力给予补偿。但上帝只钟爱那些自强不息的人，如果你不努力，不拼搏，所有的机会都会和你失之交臂。如果放弃了对人生理想与人生价值的追求，那么当机遇到来的时候，又怎么可能把握得住呢？
张立勇老师勤奋读书、勇于拼搏的精神深深地震撼了我的心灵，极大地激发了我的学习热情，我要珍惜眼前的大好时光，反思自身平时的不足，张立勇在那样艰苦条件下能成才，我没有理由不好好读书！
我将迎来人生一次次“考试”，只有在关键时刻更加勤奋努力、扎扎实实地学习，才能有象张立勇老师一样创造奇迹！

昨夜沉沉睡去，连梦也不如往日清晰。
早上六点多醒来，眼睛依然闭着，打开双耳，习惯性等着，等着群鸟的嬉闹声催我。但今日似乎不能如愿，耳朵里的鸟鸣三三两两、稀稀落落，完全不是往日风格。起床一看，阳台上积了薄薄一层清水，这才惊觉，那祈盼了好久的雨，竟悄悄的从梦里出发，不带一丝风，就静静的落在了阳台上、花园里，给我，送来一清晨的欢喜。
站上阳台，习惯性朝东边天际望去，在以往，那里是朝霞幻化的区域，今天，全被夜雨卸掉了浓妆，难得一派灰白的素颜。夜雨洗过的赖山，呈现出一种墨迹未干的暗绿。一袭山岚，也学钱塘浪潮的模样，从天际处向前向下翻动着、包裹着，将赖山一点一点尽揽入怀。西南边的大面山，亦有云雾相连，它们在风的指挥下，漫无目的遍山跑着，厚一团薄一片的，像皱纱一样，将大面山遮来掩去。沿山脊种下的那排大风车，云雾中只隐隐露出旋转的风叶，远远望去，如同搅动云海的神器。
雨下得这般低调柔和，倒是很意外。在这片金沙江干热河谷地带，天气向来如同脾气耿直又暴躁的汉子，睛，就睛得个万里无云;雨，就只管下的是急风骤雨！中庸，从来不是它的性格，因为，在它的胸堂，除了煤，便是铁。但无论如何，它偶尔的这般温柔，还是很令我受用的。
楼下的小叶榕，三年来，在M的悉心照料下，如今，已回报给二楼餐厅一窗绿荫，四季清凉。昨日还满树的鸟啼蝉鸣，今天，不知它们都跑哪儿避雨去了，只留下一窗淅淅沥沥的雨声萦在耳畔。
芭蕉，自古就是雨的良朋。为着儿时那些亲切的记忆，也为着雨打芭蕉的韵律，去年特意从农田里讨来了一株，而今已然是五子绕膝了。阔大修长的蕉叶，天然长着副筝琴的面孔，一张张向空中铺展开来，好像专为等着这样的雨季，等着上天的素手来轻弄徐弹。想着那一直惦记的“雨打芭蕉”，此时，何不仔细聆听一下，看是否也能听出那么一点诗意来。于是，我将上身探出窗外，想从耳朵里那一片细碎的雨声中，分辨出哪一种音韵是来自雨打芭蕉的，只可惜，天籁是不轻易泄露给俗人的。那就将距离靠近一点、再近一点？我戴上游柬埔寨带回的棕叶草帽，从后门紧跑几步来到芭蕉树下，谁知，这下满耳都是雨水打在干燥棕叶上的噼噼啪啪之清音，如雨打枯荷一般动听。看来，这次是不能静听雨打芭蕉了。
莲雾边紧挨着的那株木瓜树，掌形阔叶的花边稍稍内卷，从楼上看，一叶叶仿如造型精致的承露盘。晶莹的雨滴落下，它便一粒粒小心收入盘中，挺胸颔首恭敬的立着，仿佛特为招待某位贵客似的。
受了一夜雨水的滋润，园里的草坪，一改往日焦躁之态，变得嫩绿娇俏起来。只有松叶牡丹有些为难，顶着一头鼓鼓囊囊的花苞，没有太阳，它将会怎样？我有点替它担心。出去一看，它那如袖珍牡丹样的花朵半开着，被雨滴装点，便自有了一种难以言说的娇媚，引人怜花之情油然而生。路边的朱槿与三角梅，在雨中依然热烈的开着，星星点灯一样，成了阴雨天难得的一抹亮色。
原以为，下着雨的天空，灰蒙蒙一片，该是寂寞的。可M两声惊奇的呼叫，却让我领略了另一个版本。当我的视线顺着他的手指越过树梢向低空望去，有一些勇敢的小鸟，在密密的雨丝中起伏穿行。我不知道它们为什么要冒雨飞行，M说耐心等一会，就会明白的。果然，在小鸟飞行的区域，我渐渐发现，有一些不易觉察的小飞虫，也同样在雨中游荡，莫名其妙的非要拿自己的生命去引诱小鸟。小鸟们也都相当领情，个个都是精明的空中猎手，它们在空中侦察盘旋，发现飞虫，快速追击，一口衔住，便又开始找寻下一个目标了，循环往复，乐此不疲。M也是一样的乐此不疲，定定的站在门口，用他的目光追逐着风筝一样飘忽不定的鸟影……
而我坐在窗前，和着窗外的雨声，读两页书，写两行字，心里也是滋润的。
英文：
Last night I fell asleep, even the dream is not as clear as ever.
Wake up at six in the morning, eyes still closed, open ears, the habit of waiting, waiting for the sound of birds frolic rush me. But today seems to be unable to do so, the ears of birds, by twos and threes is sparse, not the style of the past. Get a look at the balcony area with a thin layer of water, it became the hope for a long time, the rain has quietly from the dream of, without a trace of wind, quietly falling in the balcony, garden, give me joy, bring a morning.
Standing on the balcony, the habit of looking toward the East sky, in the past, there is the illusion of region, today, was relieved of rain heavy makeup, a rare white makeup. The rain washed Lai mountain, showing a dark green before the ink is dry. A mountain, also learn Qian Tang wave shape, from the sky, turning forward and downward wrapped, will be a mountain as the wye. The large mountains on the southwest side are also connected by clouds and fog. They are running aimlessly around the mountain under the direction of the wind, and they are covered with a thin mass, like a crumpled yarn, which covers the large mountains. Along the ridge, there is a big windmill, with only a faint blade of wind in the clouds, far away, like the artifact that stirs the sea of clouds.
The rain was so low—key and soft, but it was very unexpected. In this area the sands Jianggan hot valley, the weather has always been as hot tempered temper upright man, it was a sunny sunny, cloudless; rain, just under the doctrine of the mean, it is never jifengzhouyu! Character, because, in its chest hall, in addition to coal, iron is. But anyway, it's so soft and occasional, it's very good for me.
Downstairs banyan tree, for three years, in the M care, now, has returned to the two floor restaurant a window shade, four seasons cool. Yesterday is a tree full of birds, cicadas, today, do they have to run where rain, leaving a window the rain entangles in the ear.
Banana, is the ancient rain liangpeng. For those fond memories of childhood, also for the rain beat the rhythm of the banana, last year deliberately from the farmland for a plant, now is already the five son around the knee. Large slender banana leaves, natural long side faces a zithers, spread into the air, as if waiting for such a rainy season, waiting for God's hand to get Xu light bomb. Think of the "rain beat banana" that you've been thinking about, and why don't you listen carefully and see if you can hear a little bit of poetry?. So, I was leaning out of the window, to the ear that a fine rain, tell which is a rhyme from rain, unfortunately, Teana is not easily leaked to the laity. It will be a little closer, distance closer? I put Kampuchea back to the upstream of the palm leaf hat, who came to the tree from the back door close to run a few steps, and this maner is rain in the dry brown leaf on the crackling rain as voiceless, dry Dutch general sounds. It seems that this time can not listen to the rain playing banana.
It was close to the edge of the papaya tree wax, palm leaved lace slightly involute, from upstairs to see Ye Fangru, a fine dew plate shape. The crystal raindrops fall, it is a careful income intraday, chest stand as respectful nod, a reception for guests like.
The moist night rain garden, lawn, a restless state, become green thrown up. Only pine peony some difficult, wore a bulging buds, no sun, it will be like? I'm a little worried about it for. Out a look, such as his pocket like peony flowers open, decorated by raindrops, it has an indescribable charm, from the flower of love arise spontaneously. Hibiscus and Bougainvillea on the side of the road in the rain is still warm, open, Xingxingdiandeng, became a real Rare Rainy day.
I thought, the rain sky, a gray, it is lonely. M two surprise call, but let me see another version. As I look down his fingers over the trees looked at low altitude, some brave bird, through ups and downs in the thick rain. "I don't know why they fly in the rain," M said. "Wait a minute and you'll understand.". Sure enough, the bird flight area, I gradually found that there are some imperceptible insects and also wandering in the rain, to take their own lives to lure birds rather baffling. The birds are also quite appreciate, everyone is smart air hunter, they found that flies in circles, aerial reconnaissance fast chase, a mouth, began to look for the next target, again, never. M is the same way, will be standing in the doorway, with his eyes chasing a kite drifting bird.
And I sit at the window, with the rain outside the window, read two pages of books, write two lines of words, the heart is also moist.
