1. Allegories usually have a deeper meaning. What do you think the author is trying to tell his readers? That school life is interesting? That schooling is absolutely necessary? That life is short and time passes quickly, and therefore we must seize the day seize the hour? Or anything else?
2. In allegories, many things are used as symbols. For example, in this text, the school gate could be seen as the turning points in one's life. When the gate closes, carefree childhood ends. When the gate opens again, the narrator enters the last stage of his life. What are other examples you have noticed in the text? How about the teacher, school, home, mother, father, or something else? Please list your examples and reasons.
1.From my perspective, the author wants to tell readers that life is short and time passes quickly .So we must seize the day and the hour.Just as the ancient saying goes:An inch of time is an inch of gold,but an inch of gold cannot buy an inch of time.
2.I think the teachers may have different meanings.In the childhood,the teachers are devoted to teaching students culture knowledge.But in the late adulthood,the teachers may be bosom friends who had accompanied the most time in life.
1.The author wanted to tell us that life is astonishingly short and passes in the blink of an eye. The entire story is a metaphor for the human lifespan,compressed into a single "half a day" of school.

（1）The School: The World
Reasons: The school is the container for the entire narrative. It is where the "action" of life happens. It is a place of mandatory attendance, learning, play, pain, social interaction, and ultimately, judgment or evaluation. The narrator's journey through its corridors and playgrounds is his journey through the world.
（2）The Lessons and Activities: The Experiences and Challenges of Life.
Reasons: The academic lessons represent the knowledge and skills we must acquire. The more strenuous activities—"strenuous running," "mock fights"—symbolize the struggles, competitions, and hardships we face. The "periods of rest in the garden" represent the brief, precious moments of peace, joy, and romance in life.
（3）The Radically Changed Cityscape at the End: The Unrecognizable World of the Future / The Pace of Social and Technological Change / The Disorientation of Old Age.
Reasons: When the narrator exits the school, the quiet, pastoral street has been replaced by a noisy, overwhelming metropolis. This symbolizes how the world changes dramatically during a single lifetime. For an elderly person, the world of their youth is gone, replaced by a fast-paced, unfamiliar environment that can feel alien and intimidating. It underscores the theme that not only do we change, but the world around us does so at an accelerating pace.
1.Yes, I have read many articles about the countryside. They describe the peaceful scenery and simple life there.
The hard work of farmers, the vast farmlands with various crops, and the fresh air and beautiful natural landscapes of the countryside impress me a lot.
3.Yes. In recent decades, the Chinese countryside has seen better infrastructure like roads and water systems, more modern agricultural technologies, and improved living conditions for farmers.

1. While keeping our childlike innocence, we must also grow up, develop the ability to solve problems and step out of our comfort zone. School life is rich and colorful. Going to school is very necessary. As the saying goes, "It's never too old to learn." We should try to learn as much as possible in our limited lives to make our lives more meaningful.
2. When he walked out of the school gate, many changes occurred, reflecting the changes during his adolescence and old age. Throughout our lives, we encounter many people, but only we ourselves can accompany ourselves until the end.
1.I think the author is conveying to the readers the rapid development of the times, and that personal growth cannot keep up in a timely manner. One must constantly learn and receive education.2. In this article, the mother represents the gentle and carefree childhood, while the father taking the child to school symbolizes the child gradually leaving childhood and growing up.
The author emphasizes seizing the moment: life is short and time flies. Since time never stops, we must use it to learn and live fully.
The teacher is a life guide: they lead the protagonist to learn rules, experience joys/sorrows, and build resilience, directing them along their life path.
1. The author's deeper message is that life is extremely short and time passes shockingly fast. The "half a day" represents an entire lifetime, urging readers to recognize life's brevity ("seize the day") and the rapid, often bewildering transition from childhood to old age.
2. Other symbolic examples include:
· The School: Symbolizes life itself, with its structured stages, lessons, joys, and hardships.
· The Teacher: Represents authority, guidance, and the forces that shape us throughout life.
· The Road (to/from school): Symbolizes life's journey, with the morning path full of promise and the return path showing irreversible change.
· Home/Mother: Symbolizes childhood, security, and the innocent past one can never return to.
· Father: Represents the initial guide who sets us on life's path.
1.The core the author tries to convey is that life is short and time passes quickly, so we should cherish the present. It reflects the shortness of life and the rapid passage of time, thus urging readers to value the present and grasp every moment in their limited life.
2.Parents，they represent the support of the family and the shelter of childhood, being the reliance of children before they go to school. They stand for the warmth and protection that the family provides during childhood.
1.The author may want to tell us that life moves swiftly, like the day he was sent to school. School life was colorful, but teachers were unforgiving when they made mistakes, and competition among classmates was fierce. The schooling is necessary.Yet, the core message is universal: cherish time, friendships, and joyful memories，this applies to everyone, not just students.
2.Before leaving, my mother stood motionless, her silence signaling growth's price: a child must leave behind. The father's quick action echoed this truth. And the classroom rivalries. They mirrored society's dynamics, where relationships aren't always pure but layered with challenge and change. Life, in sum, is a grand schoolroom.
1.I think the author want to tell the readers that time flies very fast and campus life is an interesting and importantperiod in our lives.It suggest us set a high value on our time and friendship.
2.environment:As a child ,we aways notice and remember the places of happiness.But when become a adult ,we may lost the ability to discover beauty and full of anxiety.So when the author entr the school,he found the street lined with flowers and trees.however,when he left the campus,he notice that there were tall building on the roadside,a continuous steam of vehicles,and the noise was very loud.
1. I believe the author's main message is that life is short and time passes very quickly. The story uses a single morning at school to represent a person's entire life — childhood, adulthood, and old age — showing how it all goes by in what feels like just half a day. This reminds us to value our time.
2. Other symbols in the story include:
· The school, which symbolizes life itself, where we learn, work, and grow.
· The street outside, which changes completely by the end, symbolizing how time transforms the world and often leaves us feeling lost.
· The teacher, who represents the guidance and rules we encounter throughout life.
1.The core message is life is fleeting. The "half a day" at school is a metaphor for a lifetime, urging readers to seize the moment instead of letting time slip by.
