阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

An elderly carpenter (木匠）was ready to retire. He told his employer of his plans to leave the house-building business to live a more leisurely（休闲的) life with his wife and children. His employer(老板）was sorry to see his good worker go and asked if he could build just one more house as a personal favor. The carpenter said yes, but it was obvious that his heart was already not in his work . He built it impatiently and used poor materials. It was unfortunate for a wonderful career to end like that.

When the carpenter finished his work, his employer came to insect the house. Then he handed the front-door key to the carpenter and said, ”This is your house. It’s my gift to you.”

The carpenter was shocked! What a shame! If he had known he was building his own house, he would done it all so differently.

So it is with us. We build our lives, a day at a time, often putting less than our best into building . Then with a shock, we realize we have to live in the house we have built. Therefore build it wisely( 明智）！

【回答】

A carpenter felt regretful when he knew the last house he had built impatiently was a gift for his retirement, which reminds us that we should build our life wisely.

It is absolutely unwise of the carpenter to end up his career in this way. Treating his last job carelessly made him lose not only a good house but also his fame as an outstanding house builder.

There is no doubt that we shouldn’t treat our life as the carpenter did. As a saying goes, “ How you treat life, and how life treats you!” If we are unwilling to face or deal with our life correctly, it will reward us nothing.
