Youth
Guidance for Reciting
An idle youth，a needy age.
Youth is the prime in people's life. In their youth，people are strong，healthy and full of vigor. So we can say that youth is the best time for our young people to get well-prepared for the task in the near future.
During this period of time，we should not waste our precious time in doing nothing. Being young，we are not only strong in body but also good in memory. In another word，we should learn as much as possible，and catch every chance to learn.
Every one knows the saying“Time and tide wait for no man”. As far as I' m concerned，I have set a goal for myself. But only a lofty ideal is not enough. I will be sure to catch every minute to study in order to become a qualified youth.

青年时期
诵读导言
少壮不努力，老大徒伤悲。
青年时期在人的一生中是黄金时期。在青年时期，人们的身体强壮并充满活力。所以我们说青年时期是青年人为将来做准备的最佳时期。
在这一时期，我们不应该浪费我们宝贵的时间，不能无所事事。我们青年人不仅身体好，而且记忆力也强。我们要尽可能多地学习知识，要抓住每一个机会去深造。
大家都知道这一成语：岁月不等人。说到我自己，我已为自己确立了目标。但仅有崇高的理想是不够的。为成为合格的青年，我将抓紧每分每秒去学习。
