My grandfather grew up in war-torn Europe. When German soldiers occupied his hometown ,the thriving city of Tarow, Poland, he refused to obey them and eventually joined the Soviet army to fight for his country’s freedom . “Stand straight, stand tall,” he told himself. After the war, in 1947, he boarded a boat for Manhattan. He was hungry and suffering from seasickness. All alone in a new country, he was frightened about his future .Still, he marched head-on into the hustle and bustle of the streets of New York . Soon he met other European immigrants, each of them trying to find his or her own way .If they could do it, why couldn’t he? “Stand straight, stand tall,” he would remind himself. Thanks to the help of a loyal and trusting friend, my grandfather gained a jewelry booth on Canal Street, New York City .He once told me how nervous he was on that first day of work. He was not only trying to learn this tough new business, but also a new language. To his surprise, the men in neighboring booths—who could have taken advantage of him—offered their help and advice. Within months, my grandfather was commanding his spot behind the counter, selling diamonds and cultured pearls as if he’d been doing it his whole life. Stand straight and stand tall. In later years, my grandfather would take both my mother and her sister down the aisle at their weddings. As he stood with each of them, he thought about their new beginnings, and of the adventures and journeys they would experience together .He also thought about the children who would one day carry on his family name. I am so proud to be one of those children. Listening to my grandfather’s remarkable experiences has changed the way I view my own life

应该是Low quality sociability is not better than high quality solitude。
这句话的翻译有很多种，Low quality sociability is not better than high quality solitude这种直白的翻译并不能体现这句话里面强调的高质量的独处的重要性，以及低质量社交的不必要性，或者说，这句话本身想表达的意思就是不赞同低质量的社交方式。不妨翻译成“高质量的独处比低质量的社交更有意义。”这句话翻译过来就是“High quality solitude is more meaningful than low quality social
interaction.”因为英文和中文在语法表达上是存在很大差异的，同一句话可能直接翻译过来意思表达就没有中文那么强烈。所以为了不改变意思表达的强烈程度建议将原话修改。或者改成“I will choose the former from high quality alone and low quality
social interaction.”这样也比较好，意识是“高质量的独处和低质量的社交我会选择前者。”

We meet all life’s greatest tests alone.” -Agnes Macphail不要完全依赖另一个人,无论他/她有多么珍贵.生活中最大的考验,我们只能独自经历.——加拿大首位女性议员艾格尼丝·麦克菲尔I have found that the more time I spend alone, the more comfortable I become in my own skin because I can truly get to know myself. This provides me with more patience to accept myself as I am, wherever I am in my journey, on a daily basis.我发现独处的时间越长,我越觉得舒服、放松和自信,因为这样我可以认识真正的自己.这让我每天都有更多的耐心来接受自己,接受自己在生活旅途中的位置.This lesson was something I learned after spending a summer alone in Italy with a family friend.这堂人生课是我独自一人在意大利学到的,当时我在一位世交朋友家里度过了一个夏天.I embarked on the journey, turning off my phone for the first time, well, probably ever.

Relish in the fact that this activity is just for you.练习一下,每天花一个小时,为自己做些事情,并把它作为秘密不告诉别人.享受这项活动是为自己而做的那种乐趣.Once you grow fond of spending time alone, you can start to increase the amount of time you spend on your “secret” activities.

此作文为本人自己写的，转载需经本人同意。 The advantages and disadvantages of being alone A few years ago,I worked in a big office room with many people. Some people did not work hard. They talked loudly .Some men even smoked in it.At that time ,I thought if I had a room which belonged to myself,it would be very good. later, my dream came true.I found some advantages of being alone. First,When I was alone,I could do what I Wanted to do. Second,No one could interrupt me. I did not have to hear the petty squabbling. Third, I did not have to be opressed by the tobacco fumes. But there were some disadvantages when I was alone. First,I could not get some information quickly. people would laugh at me if I knew nothing. Secon,sometimes I might feel lonely when I was alone.I needed the company of my friends. Third,when I was alone,I might be in danger,and nobody could help you immediately. Now I am weary of being alone, I hope to be with my friends.
