You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.必背范文：The famous saying“The greatest use of life is to spend it for something that will outlast it”is rather thought-provoking and tells us the real meaning of life.In my view, there are good reasons to undertake meaningful things thatexert positive and profound influence on the society, such as protecting the environment, helping vulnerable groups as well as promoting education. To illustrate, Nelson Mandela never wavered in his fight against apartheid and for a new South Africa.His life is an inspiration to everyone in South Africa and throughout the world.Though limited, his life is worth living, and its influence definitely lasts longer than itself.Likewise, a young person who aspires to be a great writer choose to spend all his free time on reading literary works or refining his own writings.Without aspirations, he may simply end up spending all his spare time surfing online or playing Internet games.In brief, a meaningful life serves to motivate and guide us in our daily lives. It provides us with the focus and direction that enable us to work towards a special goal.参考译文：“将生命用在比生命更长久的事上就是尽用生命”，这句说法相当发人深省，它告诫我们人生的真正意义。在我看来，我们应该从事对社会产生积极深远影响的、有意义的事情，比如保护环境、帮助弱势群体及促进教育。例如，纳尔逊·曼德拉矢志不渝地反抗种族隔离制度，为建立新南非而奋斗。他的人生对南非乃至全世界都是一种鼓舞。尽管生命有限，但他不虚此生，其影响无疑在他死后长久延续。同样，一个渴望成为伟大作家的人，会选择将业余时间都用在阅读一些文学作品，或润色自己的作品上。如果没有志向的话，他也许只会将所有的闲暇时间用于上网或玩网络游戏。总之，有意义的人生在日常生活中给予我们激励和指导。它为我们提供了专注焦点和方向指引，使我们能够通过努力实现特定目标。
