Children should not have to do heavy work
It is not a good idea for children to have to work hard. Children should study in school as hard as they can. They should not have to do heavy work with their bodies. When parents or others force children to work hard, the results are never good and may be very bad.
A farmer`s son who has to work hard like a man may early learn to hate farming. Children sometimes do too much work in gardens, in shops or even in their own own homes.
They soon begin to hate such kind of work with force that can destroy their happiness. But there may be a worse loss: a child`s love for his parents. The feeling may become something different. When that happens, the old kind of love never returns.

A Joke— “I stand corrected”
I have this friend who always seemed to lean slightly to the left all the time. It used to bother me, so I suggested he see a doctor, and have his legs checked out. For years, he refused and told me I was crazy, but last week, he finally went. Sure enough, the doctor discovered his left leg was a quarter inch shorter than his right. A quick bit of surgery later, he was cured, and both legs are exactly the same length now, and he no longer leans. “So,”I said, "You didn't believe me when I told you a doctor could fix your leg.

有意思的短文篇三：好作文,有意思而不是有意义
好作文，有意思而不是有意义
一提到作文，相信很多家长和孩子都很发愁。为什么？小学三年级以后，作文就成了语文学习中占比很重的一块，不少孩子愁啊愁，作文写不出，作文写不长，憋来憋去就那么干瘪瘪几个字。所以众多教育专家还专门提出一个专用名词“三年级现象”。
其实作文来源于生活，小孩子生活经验少、感悟少，所以写作文时干瘪瘪，写不出内容来。另一方面，小孩子有很多奇思妙想，被父母、老师扼杀，认为不符合逻辑。这样就导致作文变得不好玩，小孩子自然就抗拒了。所以，要让小孩子多接触生活，多看看，多玩玩，多想想，要把作文变得有意思，这样水平自然就提高了。
有意思和有意义，一字之差。但是，差之毫厘，失之千里。
家长和老师，在指导和评价孩子的作文时，一般都片面强调作文要“有意义”，一定要升华成某个“大道理”、某个“高尚品德”，殊不知，小孩子就那么点阅历，又哪能发掘出那么多“有意义”的事情来呢？看了好书、名著，能够记住其中有趣的事情就好，非要感悟出“大道理”来，也真难为了小孩子。怪不得，小孩子越学越没劲，作文越发写不出。
作文到底是干什么的？著名教育家叶圣陶老先生说过：作文就是用笔说话。很显然，作文也就是我们和别人交流的一种方式，你说的话要让别人愿意听，你写的作文要让别人愿意看，首先得有趣、有意思，这样才有吸引力。如果没意思，谁愿意听你说，谁愿意看呢？至于有意义，这是一个水到渠成的过程，随着孩子的阅历越来越丰富，思考越来越多，自然就能领悟到有意义的事情。但如果现阶段做不到让孩子对表达、写作产生浓厚的兴趣，那孩子的天赋就被扼杀在摇篮中了。
什么才是有意思的作文呢？
一、真实
平实的语言中有着足够的魅力，这魅力就来自真实，来自有意思。反过来，如果都是虚假的，比如全民学雷锋，天天扶老奶奶过马路，看看就索然无味，又怎么能让孩子写得时候写出感情来呢？如果是孩子的真实经历和感受，孩子写得高兴，家长和老师看着也才有意思啊。记得有个孩子的日记上写到“我很喜欢拔牙，可惜机会很少”，简简单单一句话，是不是让我们看到了孩子的天真和可爱，多加鼓励，孩子自然会愿意写下自己的真实感受。又比如，写到切洋葱，有孩子这样写，“我将它洗净后，便把它轻轻的放在菜板上，拿起刀开始一刀一刀地切，刚开始还觉得挺好切的，再转眼一看洋葱片，好像厚度不一，看着看着，眼睛便辣乎乎的，眼泪哗哗的顺着眼角流了下来，于是我就侧着脸，也不管它刀切在哪，仍一刀一刀地往下切。嘴里还不停的叫着：辣死了，辣死了??”（选自《切洋葱弄得我泪流满面》），虽然语言朴实无华，但是能让我们联想到小作者一边流泪一边嚷嚷一边切洋葱的狼狈情景。
二、有趣
大人觉得无聊的事情或者理所当然的事情，在孩子眼中都是值得去探索的，他们有他们的视角，他们不会墨守成规，他们认为一切皆有可能，他们可以守在蚕宝宝边上一个下午，就为了观察蚕宝宝结茧。正是这样，他们怀着好奇的心去探索世界，然后记录成文字，自然就变成了有意思的作文。看看挖蝉蛹的这篇作文，“我又挖去一层，哈，只见一个像麦秆大的洞儿出现在眼前，洞的边缘薄薄的，似乎风一吹就能把它吹塌，我用小拇指小心翼翼地抠
起来，洞越来越大，哈！这肯定就是个蝉蛹洞。”（选自《我和小伙伴挖蝉蛹》），小作者很生动地描写了找蝉蛹洞的情形。
三、真情
写作要真情实感。伪造的情感必然让孩子厌恶作文，也写不出什么内容来。而当作文中饱蘸浓浓的真情时，想让作文没意思都难！
四、奇特
许多美妙的童话如安徒生童话、格林童话、郑渊洁童话等之所以受到孩子们的追捧，就缘于一个“奇”字。孩子天生就有奇特的想象，多多鼓励，必然能写出很多高质量的奇文。反之，如果家长和老师认为荒诞、不符逻辑，多加干预，孩子自然写成了八股文，全是老师说怎么写、爸爸妈妈说怎么写，不再是自己的思想了。看看《未来的衣服》中小作者对衣服的描写，“这种衣服有很好的抗水性，当雨水滴在衣服上，它能顺着衣服滑下来，穿上这种衣服在雨天外出办事时就不用带雨具了。该衣服还能在不同地方的光线照射下或在不同温度的地方变换不同的色彩，今天在太阳下是蓝色的，明天在小雨中又是粉红色的，真是太有趣了！”也许在成人看来，这种衣服不可能实现，用处也不大，但是孩子就能把它想象得很美好，很奇特，说不定以后就真的实现了呢？
五、美好
人类对美好的事物有着共同的审美观，春天的桃红柳绿、夏天的荷叶飘香、秋天的红叶满山、冬天的白雪纷飞，都让人感受到世界的美好。鼓励孩子把这份美好精心收集起来，用优美的文字描述出来，然后分享给家人、朋友、老师和自己。若干年后，再翻开来看看，是不是依然有意思，想想就觉得很美。
生活中没有那么多的意义，但是有意思的却很多。生活无处不在，睁开眼睛、闭上眼睛都是生活，现实的、梦里的，都可以写进作文里。当我们敢于去写生活中的各种困惑、羞耻、丑事，作文的范围就广泛了，也就不存在没有可写的东西。再进一步，就是把一个故事写清楚，这是最起码的要求，也是最高要求。作家们一辈子都在努力把一个故事讲得更生动更清楚。而好故事是这样的：人们不需要被教育，需要的是被触动。
换句话说，生活中观察越仔细，作文可写的内容就越多；对他人充满爱心，作文就会情感丰富。每篇有意思的作文都有闪光点，让这些闪光点成千倍万倍地放大，让孩子沐浴着这样的阳光中，他一定会爱上写作文，也才会写出更棒的作文。
