沉默是金英语作文

Silence should be gold, because it can make us more rational and modest. Silence let us have more opportunities to think about some matters. Then the decision will be made more carefully. As a result, we may deal with something more smoothly, and finally achieve the success. So in my opinion, I think silence is a kind of reflection. You know reflection is a symbol of wisdom. In the south of our school's Yifu Library, there is a contemplator statue sitting in the square. He has sited and kept silent there for many years. I think this statue teach us how to consider and reflect. That's to be modest and silent, when thinking. It will be a valuable venture for all researchers and students. So it is necessary to study how to keep silent.

Someone may realize that silence is rather easier than speech. I think it is not exactly true. Speech only needs our courage and confidence. However, silence not only needs our courage, but also need us to have clear mind and generous heart. Sometimes it's not easy to get this. For example, do you remember in the world cup final 2008, Zidan (the captain of French team) head-butt a player of Italy so that he was showed red card and sent off immediately. It is pity for French, because of losing the leader in the football field. Finally, French team lost the opportunity of achieving final success. So silence make person calm, and avoid impulsion.

Sometimes silence means endurance. Though I admit endurance isn't good for our psychology health, sometimes it is necessary. If you want to success, you have to be willing to endure something which may be produced by yourself or others. Then just keep silent to do it. You should believe that action speaks louder than words. So do a man of action(doer).

Certainly, there are times when silence pays rich dividends. In the Bible, Solomon said: “The one who guards his mouth preserves his life; the one who opens wide his lips comes to ruin”. Surely the kind of silence here advised, the control of one’s tongue, is “golden” indeed. Silence is certainly “golden” when compared to speaking evil. How wonderfully golden the silence would be if all whispering, backbiting, lying, slander and such like could be forever stopped. Meanwhile, “Silence is golden” also means that one is restrained, listening whole-heartedly firstly, and then carefully making her speech. Too many times we may be guilty of saying too much without taking into account the context.

There are other times, however, when silence is not “golden”. It may be just plain yellow or cowardly in such instance. To remain silent at times when one should speak up is to be guilty of cowardice and results in a failure to do one’s duty. It all depends upon the circumstances. Many times those who should speak out and warn of danger remain silent because they are afraid or fear that they might hurt someone’s feelings. Such silence is far from being golden. Moreover, such a person lends strength to the forces of evil, and by failing to oppose such can be counted with the enemies for all practical purposes.

All in all, in most cases, silence can drive you to a favourable position where you can either go forward and do perfect defense. On top of the position, only silver speech can make you win something.

When we talk of the famous proverb "Silence is Gold"， we should not simply label it as right or wrong， but explore it in depth.

This proverb is especially true under several situations. First， if we have made a promise not to let out a secret， we should always keep silent. Second， we should avoid talking over facts or statistics of which we are not sure. Third， whenever we are expressing our ideas， brevity is the soul of wit and talking too much will always lead to faults and mistakes.

Nevertheless， there are also some exceptions. If we find out a flaw in other's speaking or writing， we should not hesitate a moment to point it out. And to friends or acquaintances seeking advice， we should feel free to help them.

In a word， we can draw the conclusion that in most cases "silence is gold"， but in certain circumstances， talking is the right choice.

He was still a high school student 2 years ago. One day, his best friend, Mandy, told him a big secret, she was pregnant for 2 months. She didn't know how to face to that matter and was like a cat on the hot bricks. He knew that Mandy told him this matter simply because needed to express her feeling and her boy friend didn't know this matter at all, so he was the first person who knew this matter. However, he decided to tell her boy friend later since he thought that her boy friend should be responsible for that. One week later, Mandy had a child abortion.

He didn't know whether he did the right thing or not？ A life had been taken by a decision he made. He is regret now. If only he didn't tell Mandy's boy friend about that matter......If only he kept silent at that time......Silence is golden.
