I address you as "you" because of your vast history, rich
experience, and inclusive nature. You represent the world in its entirety,
and through you, we can come to understand everything. You are the very
foundation of learning, the gateway to understanding all things. Perhaps I
have not fully captured all your strengths, but one thing is certain: you
deserve my respect, my dedication to learn, and the collective effort of
everyone to understand you.
You may already know me, or perhaps you know me very well. However, I have
not yet truly understood you, nor have I invested the effort to truly grasp
this magnificent subject. In elementary school, I learned Chinese to achieve
good grades. In middle school, my teacher told us that we studied Chinese to
write essays. Then, in high school, one unforgettable Chinese class opened
my eyes and deepened my understanding of the subject. I now realize that
Chinese is everywhere, more omnipresent than even physics, chemistry, or
biology. I regret seeing past Chinese classes as tedious and merely
task-oriented, unable to find enjoyment in learning it, wasting so much
time. I regret not recognizing your importance earlier, but although it's
too late to go back, it's never too late to begin anew.
The regret of the past is behind me, and now is the time for change. From
this moment onward, I am committed to learning Chinese well. I will put in
the effort and work hard, even sweat, because I believe it will be worth it.
Hearing this from me, are you not relieved? You are like a benevolent elder.
Although I did not learn from you before, you have still subtly helped me,
improving my understanding and writing skills in ways I did not recognize.
Even when I did not appreciate your importance, you did not give up on me.
You have always been there for me, assisting me in my daily life, and I have
relied on you whenever I encountered difficulties. You have given
selflessly. So, I want to thank you, and also apologize for neglecting you
in the past. Now that I understand my mistake, I am certain you will forgive
me.
I will put in the effort to learn from you, and I hope you will watch over
me. If I fall short, please use my grades as a form of feedback. I will take
this "criticism" to heart and use it as motivation. You can count on my
actions to prove my commitment, and I will show you the outstanding results
I promise to achieve! |
