Bài 1: war and peace
I now understand why some people make war when they say they love peace,
It's because sometimes we have to make war so we can Live in Peace.
Lately, I have not been at peace with myself because I'm at war with others.
Then I realize peace is not the absence of conflict, it is the ability to handle conflict by peaceful
means.
I've never claimed to have the answers to life, I've never claimed divinity, I've never claimed purity
of soul. I only put out my heart and handle every situations as honestly as I can.
But to some, they simply just dont want to understand that peace has to be created, in order to be
maintained & It will never be achieved by Passivity and Quietism.
If we desire to avoid insult, we must be able to repel it; if we desire to secure peace, it must be
known, that we are at all times ready for War/Conflict.
Yes, it hurts,.. And yet, there is no peace without forgiveness.
I find peace by not escaping my problems, but by confronting them.
I find peace not in denial, but in victory.
Every goal I make, every action I take, every thought i think, every feeling I experiences, whether
it'd be consciously or unconsciously known, is an attempt to increase my level of Peace of Mind
which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing I did my best to become the best I am capable
of becoming.
"-Those who are free of resentful thoughts surely find peace.
To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one's family, to bring peace to all, one must first
discipline and control one's own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to
Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him."
(Buddha)
I now represents a sweeter music, a harmonious song, a cosmic melody, that is far superior to the
discords of war.
Bài 2: youth
Bài dịch :Tuổi Trẻ
Tuổi trẻ không phải là khoảnh khắc thời gian của cuộc đời; đó là một trạng thái của tâm trí; đó
không phải là chuyện của những cặp má hồng, của làn môi đỏ mọng và của cặp đầu gối mềm dẻo;
đó là chuyện của ý chí, phẩm chất của óc tưởng tượng, sức mạnh của cảm xúc; đó là sự tươi mát
của nguồn suối nhân sinh.
Tuổi trẻ mang ý nghĩa là sự thắng vượt của lòng can đảm trên sự rụt rè của ham mê, thích phiêu
lưu mạo hiểm hơn là ưa chuộng sự dễ dãi. Điều này thường có nơi người trên 60 tuổi, hơn là trong
cơ thể của người ở tuổi 20. Không một ai lại già cỗi đi vì những năm tháng trôi qua. Chúng ta già
nua bởi vì ruồng bỏ lý tưởng của mình.
Năm tháng có thể làm nhăn nhúm làn da, nhưng sự từ bỏ tinh thần hăng say phấn khởi thì mới làm
tâm hồn chúng ta thêm héo hắt. Sự buồn phiền, sợ hãi, sự ngờ vực chính bản thân mình bẻ nát vụn
tâm hồn và biến tinh thần trở về lại cát bụi.
Dù ở tuổi 60 hay 16, trong con tim mỗi người đều có sự quyến rũ của sự kỳ diệu, sự đam mê háo
hức như con trẻ với cái điều sắp xảy đến, và niềm vui của trò chơi cuộc sống. Trong sâu thẳm của
tâm hồn bạn cũng như của tôi, thì đều có một trạm vô tuyến; bao lâu mà cái trạm đó còn tiếp nhận
tín hiệu của cái đẹp, niềm hy vọng, sự nô nức, lòng can đảm và năng lượng của con người và của
Vô biên, thì lúc đó bạn còn trẻ mãi.
Khi mà giây ăng ten cụp xuống, và tinh thần của bạn bị bao phủ bởi lớp tuyết hòai nghi yếm thế, thì
dù bạn mới có 20 tuổi, bạn đã già nua cằn cỗi rồi; nhưng nếu giây ăng ten đó vẫn mở bật lên để
đón bắt những đợt sóng của lạc quan, thì có hy vọng là bạn có thể chết trẻ vào tuổi 80.
Bài 3: What is happiness?
"It depends. It depends on you, on your state of consciousness or unconsciousness, whether you
are asleep or awake. Happiness will depend on where you are in your consciousness. If you are
asleep, then pleasure is happiness. Pleasure means sensation, trying to achieve something through
the body which is not possible to achieve through the body, forcing the body to achieve something it
is not capable of.
People are trying, in every possible way, to achieve happiness through the body. The body can give
you only momentary pleasures, and each pleasure is balanced by pain in the same amount, in the
same degree. Each pleasure is followed by its opposite because body exists in the world of duality,
just as the day is followed by night and death is followed by life and life is followed by death. It is a
vicious circle. Your pleasure will be followed by pain, your pain will be followed by pleasure. But you
will never be at ease. When you will be in a state of pleasure you will be afraid that you are going to
lose it, and that fear will poison it. And when you will be lost in pain, of course, you will be in
suffering, and you will try every possible effort to get out of it - just to fall again back into it.
The sleepy person knows nothing else. He knows only a few sensations of the body - food, sex. This
is his world. And whatsoever you call pleasure is, at the most, just a relief of a tense state. Sexual
energy gathers, accumulates; you become tense and heavy and you want to release it.
The man who is asleep, his sexuality is nothing but a relief, like a good sneeze. A tension was there,
now it is no more there; but it will accumulate again. To the sleeping, pleasurable sensations are
happiness. He lives from one pleasure to another pleasure. He is just rushing from one sensation to
another sensation. He lives for small thrills. His life is very superficial; it has no depth, it has no
quality. He lives in the world of quantity. The non-meditator sleeps, dreams; the meditator starts
moving away from his sleep towards awakening.
Then happiness has a totally different meaning: it becomes more of a quality, less of a quantity; it is
more psychological, less physiological. He enjoys music more, he enjoys poetry more, he enjoys
creating something. He enjoys nature, its beauty. He enjoys silence. He enjoys what he had never
enjoyed before, and this is far more lasting. Even if the music stops, something goes on lingering in
you. And it is not a relief.
The difference between pleasure and this happiness is: it is not a relief, it is an enrichment. You
become more full, you become a little overflowing. Listening to good music, something is triggered
in your being, a harmony arises in you - you become musical. Or dancing, suddenly you forget your
body; your body becomes weightless. The grip of gravitation over you is lost. Suddenly you are in a
different space: the ego is not so solid, the dancer melts and merges into the dance. This is far
higher, far deeper than the joy that you gain from food or sex. This has a depth.
But this is also not the ultimate. The ultimate happens only when you are fully awake, when you are
a buddha, when all sleep is gone and all dreaming is gone, when your whole being is full of light,
when there is no darkness within you. All darkness has disappeared and with that darkness, the ego
is gone. All tensions have disappeared, all anguish, all anxiety. You are in a state of total
contentment. You live in the present; no past, no future anymore. You are utterly herenow.
This moment is all. Now is the only time and here is the only space. And then suddenly the whole
sky drops into you. This is bliss. This is REAL happiness.
Seek bliss; it is your birthright. Don't remain lost in the jungle of pleasures; rise a little higher. Reach
to happiness and then to bliss.
Pleasure is animal, happiness is human, bliss is divine. Pleasure binds you, it is a bondage, it chains
you. Happiness gives you a little more rope, a little bit of freedom, but only a little bit. Bliss is
absolute freedom. You start moving upwards; it gives you wings. You are no more part of the gross
earth; you become part of the sky. You become light, you become joy.
Pleasure is dependent on others. Happiness is not so dependent on others, but still it is
separate from you. Bliss is not dependent, is not separate either; it is your very being, it is your very
nature. To attain it is to attain to God, to nirvana.”
Topic: Some people prefer to provide help and support directly to those in the local community who
need it. Others, however, prefer to give money to national and international charitable organizations.
Discuss both views and give your opinion.
Bài làm:
There are lots of people living in abject poverty all over the world. They need our help to improve
their life. In recent years, charity is well-known in many countries, and there are a great number of
ways to help the poor. Some people want to help directly those in the local community who need it.
On the contrary, others would like to give money to national and international charitable organization.
Both ways are good, but I would like to support a former idea.
Providing help and support directly to the people in poverty brings a sense of warm. Some people
often come to the mirror areas to give food to the hungry, shelter to the homeless… Moreover, others
give the disabled people means of transportation, as wheelchair, crutches… They said that they
were very happy when they saw a happy smile on the unhappy people. Only if do they meet them,
they have this warm feeling.
In contrast, giving money to national and international charitable organizations is a good choice.
These people think that these organizations are able to distribute their money to the people that are
victims of natural disasters conventionally. In fact, those are always busy in their business, so they
cannot come to the unfortunate people directly. In addition, may be they can’t stand the harsh
climate places where they want to give money. As a result, this is a best way to share with others
without affecting their life.
In my opinion, I strongly would like to share with the unhappy people directly. An example of charity
in my local community- Lam Dong province is typical. My friends and I are always spend money to
go to the remote areas where the poor migrants. We offer foods, clothes to them. Whenever we
have opportunities to talk with them, we can know more what problems they face up with. Not only
do we share them material values, but also mental values. Certainly, we feel very happy when they
have our help overcame their difficult time.
To put in a nutshell, it is a wonderful experience that we can do a useful thing to people who are in
need. Therefore, spending both our time and our health to the unlucky people, we bring the
joyfulness not to them but to ourselves as well.
Bài làm 2:
From the ancient time, people started to help others around them. To sustain and develop such
spirit, nowadays it's not difficult to see many people becoming involved in non-profitable activities
that are initially to support people. However, approaches to altruistic ones polarize. While some
people opt to support the disadvantaged in their neighborhoods or local community, others are prone
to found international foundations to dedicate money. No matter what they prefer, their actions need
to be honored and venerated.
On one hand, local relief supplies do not take much money to conduct. Also, these supports are
distributed directly to people who need help. By doing this, conductors prove their humanitarian
natures, which contribute to aid underprivileged people as well as connect individuals from all walks
of life. Despite not being recognized worldwide, they are likely to become the inspirations for many
people to copy. For instance, in the short story "The social Triangle" written by O.Henry, Cortlandt
Van Duyckink was respected by many people including the president of the district for opening soup
kitchens to help the poor in the neighborhood.
On the other hand, wealthier people are more ambitious because they want to aid a wide range of
people. They are likely to establish international organizations and exhort sponsorship from others or
devote a large amount of money to these organizations. These philanthropists are widely known not
only because of their huge contributions but also they do not need any return from the media. Take
Bill Gates as an example. He might not be esteemed if he were the richest man in the world but he
donated billions dollar for his "Bill and Melinda Gates" foundation.
To sum up, there are numerous ways of methods to involve in charity works. These activities are
meaningful not only for the sake of the recipients but also for us to understand ourselves.
