生命中的快乐是人们所不断寻求的。
但是我们往往忽视身边的快乐，而去寻找那些所谓大的野心勃勃的东西。
快乐无所不在。
想一想身边有哪些可珍惜的快乐呢。

The Happiness of the Life
Life is like a winding path that surrounded by flowers， butterflies， and delicious fruit， but many of us spend much time looking for happiness around the next corner. We do not bend to enjoy the happiness that is ours for the taking just at out feet.
In our desire to reach the “pot of gold”， complete and lasting happiness we all want to fill our lives， we ignore things which don't seem worthy of such a large ambition， or which can't give us the whole thing all at once.
Happiness is all around us， but it often comes in small grains. When we gather it grain by grain， we soon have a basketful.
What small pieces of happiness surround me right now？
Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.
「评语」
该文按要求描写了自己是如何看待生活中快乐的。语言很清新，几个比喻用得很有特色：比如把“life”比做“a winding path surrounded by flowers， butterflies， and delicious fruit”，把收集生活中的快乐比做“gather grain”。既生动又形象。最后的疑问句也起到了发人深省的效果。
