My Eyes

It was nine o'clock at night， and I had studied for just half an hour， I wanted to go on but my eyes didn't allow me to do so. My eyes got tired and saw the words in troubles [with difficulty ]（1）。 I had to relax them though there was no any use [it seemed useless] （2）。

　　Looking back to my past， I'm full of regret. I came to this world with two bright eyes. I thought this was something natural. I enjoyed reading books even under faint light [dim light] （3）。 I watched TV for more than three hours without a break.Also， I used to read in bed. Whenever my father warned me against the wrong use of my eyes， I always replied， “It doesn't matter. My eyes are the best.”

　　However， one day， I began to find I couldn't see clearly the words on the blackboard within five metres. The doctor told me I became near-sighted. “It is impossible，”I cried. “But this is the fact. Your bad habit cost you your eye-sight [your normal eye-sight] （4）。”

　　Now I try [am trying] （5） many ways to regain my sight [good sight] （6）。 But you can see they have little effect. Something that was lost is usually not so easy to recover. One who has good eyes has great wealth， I believe. I must learn a lesson from my own experience.

　　评 语

　　保护视力的重要性是不言而喻的。但是很多学生由于不良的用眼习惯，常常不自觉地损害了自己的视力，这篇作文生动地反映了这一点。文章中某些语言上的不足之处点评修改如下：

　　（1）in trouble 是“处于困难、危险的境地”，故改之。

　　（2）原句no any用错了，there be句型也欠妥。

　　（3）faint有“微弱的”意思，但一般指声音。指光线的“微弱”，要用dim.这种汉语相同，但英语不同的情况，对于英语学习者来说要特别注意。

　　（4）、（6）原文也可理解为“失明”和“重见光明”。改后含义清楚些。

　　（5）这里根据上下文，用现在进行时为好。
