大学英语作文:选择慢节奏生活还是快节奏生活? Choose slow paced life or fast paced life?

I used to live at a frantic pace. My wristwatch dictated my life, and the hands of the clock pushed me forward to my next appointment, my next assignment, and my next social engagement. However, I have managed to relax. Now that I live my life at a slower pace I have become a better student, a more reliable friend, and a person who enjoys life much more than before. Living life at a slower pace has allowed me to pay much more attention to detail and to work through my assignments at school more thoroughly. Before I was always rushing through my reading and my writing, and my concentration was not very strong. The clubs and sports teams I belonged to demanded a lot of attention. After I decided to get rid of some of the more involved activities I had more time to focus on my studies and the results have shown in my marks. While I am still busy with school and extra curricular activities, I also make a point of slowing down and taking a step back in order to prioritize the things in my life. This allows me to evaluate how much time I should spend on one thing or another. For example, while I was hurrying through my schedule I often lost track of my friends. I forgot about dates that we made and things that I agreed to do for them. This will not happen now. By slowing down the tempo and realizing how important my pals are to me, I have once again become a reliable friend. Lastly, living life at a slower pace allows me to appreciate the good things in my life. In the past I would only think about the things I would have to get accomplished next. This anticipation did not allow me to concentrate on the moment, but now I am able to enjoy a family dinner or an afternoon at the movies with my friends without worrying about what I am supposed to do next.

我曾经生活在一个疯狂的步伐。我的手表支配我的生活，和时钟的手把我推着我的下一个约会，我的下一个任务，而我的下一个社会参与。然而，我已经设法放松。现在，我以更慢的速度生活，我成了一个更好的学生，一个更可靠的朋友，一个人比以前更喜欢生活。生活节奏比较慢，让我更加注重细节，更彻底地完成我的作业。以前我总是赶着通过我的阅读和我的写作，我的浓度是不是很强。我属于俱乐部和运动队需要很多的关注。在我决定摆脱一些更为复杂的活动之后，我有更多的时间去关注我的学习，结果也显示在我的成绩里。虽然我仍然忙着学校和课外活动，我也做了一个点的放缓，并采取了一步，以优先级的事情在我的生活。这让我评价我花多少时间在一件事或另一件事上。例如，当我在我的日程中匆匆忙忙的时候，我常常忘记朋友们的轨迹。我忘记了我们做的日期和我同意为他们做的事情。这不会发生现在。放慢生活的节奏、意识到我的朋友对我有多么重要，我再次成为一个可靠的朋友。最后，生活在一个更慢的节奏让我去欣赏我生命中的美好事物。在过去，我只想到我将要完成的事情，下一个。这一预期不让我专注于这一刻，但现在我可以享受一个家庭晚餐或一个下午的电影与我的朋友，而不必担心什么我应该做下一个。
