A survey about smokers in a middle school tells that although 90% of all students never smoke, 3% of them often smoke and 7% sometimes do. In other words, 10% of the students smoke. That s terrible.

As we know, smoking is harmful to our health. Every year, thousands of people lose their lives because of it. Smoking not only does harm to your health, but also wastes money. Because, a fire may be caused by cigarette ends. It s a pity to learn that one ends in death by smoking.

In all, smoking is so dangerous that we should keep away from it.

This summer, I had some special days. I joined dongzhou international educational exchange summer camp.

First, I will tell you about our foreign teachers, they are shrina and rebecca. They are friendly and beautiful. They are students at oxford university.

We talked about many things: famous people, subjects in england, different jobs, our deal days, western star signs, what can we say in a restaurant and so on.

We know lots of things, like what the difference is between “chef” and “cook”, all the parts of the body…

We tried to write a letter to principal zhang. We made a play and we drew our own comics and tried to sell it. We gave some other students english lessons, we taught them about chinese dragon, chinese martial arts and the olympics.

Every afternoon, we played exciting games: chinese whispers, tongue twisters, wheelbarrow, egg and spoon, three legs…

On the last day, we had a good time. We made black tea. We put tea bags, some milk and lots of water in to a big bowl, and then we stirred the tea until it became red and dark. Oh, it tasted good! later, we used eggs, flour and milk to make many pancakes. To cook them is very interesting. When we finished it, the pancakes looked round and nice. We put some jam on it. how delicious! I won’t ever forget it.

The summer camp is a really good chance for me. I know the local things in england. I learned a lot and like english more. I also know better ways to learn english well.

I hope one day i can see you in england.

今年夏天,我有一些特殊的日子。东洲国际教育交流我加入夏令营。

首先,我将告诉你关于我们的外籍教师,他们是shrina和丽贝卡。他们是友好的和美丽的。他们是牛津大学的学生。

我们谈了很多事情:名人,受试者在英格兰,不同的工作,我们的天,西方的星座,我们能说什么在餐馆等等。

我们知道很多事情,像有什么区别“厨师”和“厨师”,身体的所有部位…

我们试图给校长写封信。我们玩了,我们把自己的漫画,并试图把它卖掉。我们给其他的学生上英语课,我们教他们关于中国龙,中国的武术和奥运会。

每天下午,我们玩激动人心的游戏:中国的低语,绕口令,手推车,鸡蛋和勺子,三条腿…

最后一天,我们有一个美好的时光。我们做了红茶。我们把茶包,一些牛奶和大量的水在一个大碗,然后我们搅拌茶,直到它变成了红色和黑色。哦,味道很好!之后,我们用鸡蛋、面粉和牛奶使许多煎饼。做饭是很有趣的。当我们完成它,煎饼四下看了看,不错。我们把一些果酱。多美味啊!我永远也不会忘记。

夏令营对我来说是一个很好的机会。我知道在英国当地的事情。我学到了很多,更喜欢英语。我也知道更好的方法来学好英语。

我希望有一天我可以看到你在英格兰。

Environmental problems are being more and more serious all over the world。

For example， cars have made the air unhealthy for people to breathe and

poisonous gas is given off by factories。 Trees on the hills have been cut down

and waste water is being poured continuously into rivers。Furthermore， wherever

we go today， we can find rubbish carelessly disposed。 Pollution is， in fact，

threatening our existence。

The earth is our home and we have the duty to take care of it for ourselves

and for our later generations。 Fortunately， more and more people have realized

these problems。 Measures have been taken to cope with these problems by the

government。 Laws have been passed to stop pollution。 I hope the problem will be

solved in the near future and our home will bee better and better。

With the improvement of living level, the goods package have become more

and more complicated and exaggerated. Thus, the phenomenon of the excessive

packaging is common around us. Such as Mid-autumn moon cakes. But what factors

contribute to this phenomenon?

Firstly, as we all know, a large number of markets and stores think that

goods which are well-decorated could attract consumers and inspire consumers to

purchase goods. So they can earn more money. Secondly, consumers hold the idea

that the more elegant the goods look, the better quality of the commodity is.

Whats more, the government didnt make relevant rules to prevent this

phenomenon.

Personally speaking, excessive packaging has a bad influence on our

environment, which also wastes precious resources. So we should increase our

awareness of consuming and save rare resources. At the same time, some useful

measures should be taken by the government. Its high time we took action to

prevent this situation. Only in this way can we put an end to this trend.

Dear Jack,

Im glad to have received your e-mail but I am sorry you are having some

trouble in making friends.

In my opinion, friendship is one of the most important things in everyones

life because without friends we will suffer loneliness. If you would like to

take my advice, youll win real friendship. First, why not communicate with your

friend when possible and tell him/her what you think about friends and

friendship and let him/her know that you want to make friends with him/her.

Secondly, you should learn to share your happiness and sorrow with your friends.

Thirdly, it would be a good idea if you like to invite him/her to join in some

activities such as swimming and ball games, which can make you learn to

appreciate your friends and cherish your friendship.

I hope you will find these opinions and ideas useful. Best wishes!

Someone asks me what on earth happiness means? I cant give you the exact

definition of it, but Im sure if you love and help others, youll get it.

Ill never forget an old lady. She lives in a small house alone. Its said

that her husband and her son died in a traffic accident. How bitter her life

is!But the old lady often helps others with a smile. Whenever it snows, she is

always the first to clean the paths. She looks after several children living

nearby. I am one of them. I often remember the stories she told us and her kind

smile. Perhaps she is unlucky, but I think she is a happy person. Her life is

full of laughter and love.

But Im sad to see some people getting their happiness in bad ways.They

speak loudly in cinemas and meeting rooms; they destroy trees to enjoy

themselves and they laugh at others shortcomings. Perhaps they feel happy at

that time, but they will never get true happiness because they have lost their

personality.

Now I know what happiness is. It means kindness, love and unselfishness.

Above all, only bringing happiness to others can make you yourself get it.

There are many excellent stars in various fields at home and abroad, for example Zhou Xun in film industry, Mo Yan in literature, and Bolt in the sports circles. My favorite star is Zhou Xun, who is an outstanding actress. Zhou Xun watched movies since she was a little girl. Her father worked in a cinema, which offered her golden opportunity to access to movie. Maybe her talented performance was developed since then. Over the two decades Zhou Xun performs in TV or movies, her acting is mature day after day, bringing her lots of awards. Now she has become one of the iconic actresses in China. Besides, she advocates herself in philanthropy and environmental protection. Zhou Xun calls on everyone to live a low-carbon life to keep a green and beautiful planet. I like her because of her excellent performing as well as her personality.

在国内外各领域中都有杰出的明星，例如电影界的周迅、文学界的莫言和体育界的博尔特。我最喜欢的明星是周迅，她是一位很棒的电影演员。周迅还是个小孩子时，就接触到了电影。她的爸爸在一间电影院工作，这是她接触电影的绝佳机会，也许她的表演天赋就是从那个时候培养起来的。在她踏足电视电影的二十年里，周迅的表演日渐成熟，也给她带来了许多的荣誉。现在，她已经成为了华语影坛最具标志性的女演员之一。此外，她也热衷于慈善事业和环保。周迅号召大家低碳生活，还我们一个绿色、美丽的地球。我喜欢她，不仅因为她出色的表演，也因为她的人格魅力。

People always believe that when there is pressure, there is motivation, it seems that pressure equals motivation.

We need pressure, it makes us keep move on, with pressure, we know what to do and how to fulfill our targets. Without pressure, we are just like a child, never grow up, having no idea of responsibility. It is pressure that makes us become mature, we should have pressure, it indeed equals motivation at the certain level. While having too much pressure is bad for our mind, it is just like a burden that presses our mind, making people hard to take a breath.

Nowadays the case of people commit suicide is increasing, the reason is that people can’t take a breath from much pressure, they feel there is no hope in life, no matter what they do, life just frustrates them. We should have the right attitude towards pressure.

人们总是相信有压力才有动力，似乎压力等于动力。

我们需要压力，它让我们前进，有了压力，我们才知道应该要做什么和怎样去实现我们的目标。没有压力，我们就像一个小孩，永远长不大，不知道什么是责任。压力让我们变得成熟，我们应该有压力，压力在一定程度上却是等于动力。然而太多的压力对于我们的心智来说是不好的，这会像一个负担一样抑制着我们的思想，让人喘不过气来。

现在人们自杀的案例上升，原因在于人们不能从巨大的压力中呼吸，觉得生活没有希望，无论他们怎么做，生活都会打击他们。我们应该正确对待压力。
