我曾经看过一个印象很深的公益广告是一个叫做 family 的广告，我不太记得我是在哪看的那则广告了，因为那是在很久以前，在我小的时候，也许是在外婆家看电视时候看到的，这则广告将 family 拆成了 father and mother i love you ，用一个动画形象地表现了从一个孩子 i 的诞生开始，父亲 F 像一棵大树一样为家庭遮风挡雨，母亲为孩子的成长所操心，叮咛嘱咐，渐渐地，父母老了，但是孩子 i 也长大了，最后 I 长成参天大树，撑起整个家庭，我当时看这则广告的时候没有非常大的感触，但是多年之后，一次不经意的机会，我又重温了这则广告，感触比从前深很多，我认为这是一个关于生命，家庭，爱与责任的广告，我们每个人都是自己家庭中的一份子，都需要承担自己的责任，在我们小的时候，父母关怀我们，等到他们老了，我们也应当好好照顾他们。
I once saw an impressive public service advertisement called family. I don't quite remember where I saw the advertisement, because it was seen a long time ago when I was young, perhaps when I was watching TV at my grandmother's house. This advertisement divided the word "family" into father , mother , I , love and you,This one vividly represented a story with that from the beginning of the birth of a child I with an animation, Father f is like a big tree to protect the family from the wind and rain. Mother is worried about the growth of her child. She tells me that gradually, the parents grow old, but the child I also grows up. Finally, I grow into a towering tree to support the whole family. I didn't feel much when I saw this advertisement for the first time, but many years later, I revisited this advertisement inadvertently. My feelings are much deeper than before, I think this is an advertisement about life, family, love and responsibility. Each of us is a member of our own family and needs to bear our own responsibilities. When we were young, our parents cared for us. When they were old, we should take good care of them.

- what you did while you were in the queue
and explain how you felt about the experience.
In the summer vacation of my sophomore year, I went to the Chaka Salt Lake in Qinghai Province, which is known as the mirror of the sky. I remember it was a hot afternoon. We drove to the scenic spot. At the gate of the spot, we were told that it would take two hours to walk to the deepest part of the lake. Considering that walking would consume much of physical strength, and there were the elderly in our tourism group, We had to choose to take the small train provided by the scenic spot, but it would take a long time to queue. The queue nearly reached to the parking lot. We had no choice but to accept the reality. In the process of queuing, I found in front me is the salt lake,and there were some mountains behind me which were also very imposing with snow could be clearly seen at the peaks.However,few of people went there because it wasn't a famous scenic spot.Without magnificent landscapes ,so maybe no one want to go there for a visit,but i don’t think so ,if i have the ability to climb on it and when I stand there and overlook the salt lake,i think it will be a completely different experience which can not be felt on train visiting.I think this is the meaning of if i place myself in it,i will have no chance to enjoy all parts of its beauty.

It is becoming increasingly common for young people to have a work experience rather than starting their university life directly.Although there are some advantages to work for a period of time before advanced education,i believe that the drawbacks often outweighs any advantages.
There are two main disadvantages to work before going to university.Firstly,it's easy for students to forget learning skills and some useful knowledge accumulated before if they work for too long because there are still some subtle differences between work and study,like daily arrangements and some other struggles to deal with,when facing with these things in daily life,they will find it difficult to calm down and think as a students.
Furthermore,the competition among graduates is becoming more and more fierce. With the development of society, different majors may have great changes in a short time, which they can't predict. The cognition of employment situation obtained from work in the past few years is not applicable to the current situation.This means they may miss some good chances to get a experience of further study.
On the other hand,having a work experience has several points in its favour.The main one is they can obtain communication skills during the work time,this quality will benefit for getting along with teachers and students during the University,so that they can integrate into the group more quickly and get a good position.During work,they can earn some money which can be used for their future university tuition.With these money struggled by themselves,they will regard their opportunity to receive higher education as treasure.
All in all,I think that the disadavantages of working before going to university such as loss of study skills and methods,increasingly fierce competition to face with are greater than the advantages.However,someone think it's none of their business to think about working even a short-term internship.For this view,i think it's just an escape from reality.
