Dear Uncle,

How are you? Next week an English speaking contest will be held in the

city. A classmate of mine and I will take part in it on behalf of my school. I

am excited but also mervous, because it is a good chance to improve my English.

But I have no experience. Although I have been preparing for the contest, I am

still not confident.

As an expert in English, what would you advise me to prepare for the

contest? I plan to pay a visit to you this Saturday morning. I wonder whether

you will be free then. If not, could you tell me the time that is convenient for

you? I am eager to get your instruction. I will appreciate any of your help.

Your niece,

Yang Mei

亲爱的叔叔：您好!下周市里举办英语演讲比赛，我和一位同学将代表学校参加比赛。我感到既兴奋又紧张，因为这是一个提高英语的好机会。但我没有经验。我一直在为比赛做准备，可仍然没有把握。作为一个英语专家，您建议我为比赛准备些什么呢?我打算这周六上午去您家，我想知道到时您是否有空。如果没空，能告诉我您什么时候方便吗?我渴望得到您的指导，我会非常感激您的帮助。

您的侄女

我有一个梦想——长大了要当一名宇航员。我想飞上天，到宇宙空间站享受宇航员的生活。

宇航员的生活一定更加的丰富多彩，我可以在宇宙空间站看美丽的风景，有彩色的地球，红红的火星，这该是一种多么美好的生活啊！当我吃饭的时候，食物会漂浮在宇宙空间站里，我想那一定很好玩呢！我还可以运动，我会在宇宙空间站举哑铃，这样我的身体就会棒棒的。

我想去火星看看，看那儿是不是真的有火；还想去水星观察，观察那儿有没有水，如果有水我会把照片拍下来，这样人们就能通过我的照片了解宇宙的信息了。我更想乘卫星到地球旁边去逛逛，这样我就能领略世界各地的风光了。我希望科学家会造出更好的飞行工具引开陨石，避免撞击地球，这样人类就可以生存更久了。我要从小努力学习，去实现我的梦想——当一名宇航员。

Since I was a little child, I had a dream that I wanted to be a doctor.

When I was little, I watched many TV series and movies about doctors. I thought

they were so great. Therefore, I made up my mind to be a doctor. In my opinion,

doctor is the people who can help patience get out of sickness and pain.I want

to be the person who can help others. However, being a doctor needs so much

professional knowledge and there is a long way to go. So I have to try my best

on my study and go to a good college.

早在几天前，街道上就摆满了粽子，到处飘散着粽子的清香。今天终于可以吃到妈妈做的香喷喷的粽子了。因为端午节到来了。

As early as a few days ago, the streets were filled with zongzi, and the

fragrance of zongzi wafted everywhere. Today, I can finally eat the delicious

zongzi made by my mother. Because the Dragon Boat Festival is coming.

妈妈真是了不起，能做出好几种不同味道的粽子，有红枣粽子、豆子粽子、蛋黄粽子，还有我最喜欢吃的肉粽子。粽子刚一出锅，我和哥哥便你争我抢，生怕自己少吃了一个。

My mother is really amazing. She can make several kinds of zongzi with

different tastes, including red date zongzi, bean zongzi, egg yolk zongzi, and

my favorite meat zongzi. As soon as zongzi is out of the pot, my brother and I

will fight for it from you for fear that we will eat one less.

正当我们准备把粽子送入嘴里的时候，爸爸走了过来，微笑着说：”你们知道端午节为什么要吃粽子吗?“我们异口同声地回答：”为了纪念屈原!“”对!那你们知道为什么要纪念他呢?“我和哥哥你

看着我，我望着你，直摇头。”在春秋时期，爱国诗人屈原眼看自己的祖国被侵略，心如刀割，但又不忍舍弃自己的祖国，所以在五月初五抱石投汨罗江身死。以后，在每年的五月初五，就有了赛龙舟

、吃粽子的风俗，以此来纪念爱国诗人屈原。

Just as we were about to put zongzi into our mouths, Dad came over and

smiled and said, "do you know why we eat Zongzi on Dragon Boat Festival?" we all

replied in unison, "in memory of Qu Yuan!" "yes! Then why do you remember him?"

my brother and I looked at me and I looked at you and shook our heads. " In the

spring and Autumn period, Qu Yuan, a patriotic poet, saw his motherland being

invaded and his heart was cut like a knife, but he could not bear to give up his

motherland, so he threw stones into Miluo River on the fifth day of May and

died. Later, on the fifth day of May every year, there was the custom of dragon

boat racing and eating zongzi, in order to commemorate the patriotic poet Qu

Yuan. "

我和哥哥点了点头，原来端午节还有这样的意义。今天不仅吃到了香喷喷的粽子，还让我收获不少。

My brother and I nodded. It turns out that Dragon Boat Festival has such a

meaning. Today, I have not only delicious zongzi, but also a lot of harvest.

There was a sad music in the church, a parting song, and the children in front of the Jesus prayers were praying silently... At this point, what are the children praying for? Why are they so serious? Because its a graduation ceremony, because its their last day here...

Look at these kids pious face, listening to this copy from rolia song, tears blurred, I cant help remember three years ago, our graduation......

In the scorching summer, cicada son calls became the only tune, and we in the classroom, only the hearts of the coming of the senior high school entrance examination is full of infinite tension and anxiety.

Every day, after a hurry to do what everyone needs to do, immediately turn into a stressful study. A white paper in our hands is constantly checking, instead of the past summer, our hands those cute little fan; an English listening test repeatedly play, instead of the past, we listened to pop music; one to ask, instead of the old days in the classroom frequently heard the sound of the dozen...... Everything was insignificant in the face of the coming exam.

It seemed to be a long time in the past, and suddenly, at that time, like a page that had been turned over, it had not been carefully read, and it was in a hurry. The sound of the June alarm sounded, and our atmosphere was more tense. All the years, anyhow, graduation ceremony will be open, always a day to let us present ah, write the students... But we didnt do anything at that time, the reason was very simple, and everyone thought it was not necessary.

In this way, we have a graduation exam, and we just want a good result on the exam. At the end of the last exam, we gathered together, and the teacher just said something about the exam results, and hurriedly took a photo of graduation, didnt say goodbye, didnt do many other things like other graduates, and graduated.

After the mid-term examination, I found that the so-called "victory" didnt bring much joy to me. I thought that if theres a good result, there will be a happy summer vacation. But in those days, I found that it was too boring, even though I wrote a lot of homework every day, but there was always less...

Once, I walked into a gift shop close to our school. The boss asked me if I was too dull to graduate this time. He said he led a lot of gifts, such as the gift of graduation, but there were not many people in our school. He also jokes that the people we are now are getting less and more human.

After that, I thought seriously about what the boss said, and I had to admit that he was right. At that time, we only care about the results of the exam, but we have ignored the classmates and teachers feelings so long that only those scores are the only ones we want to pursue. If we were able to take a day to open a graduation ceremony and write to each other a communication address and contact, then our summer vacation would not be so boring. Its a pity that we didnt understand it at that time...

Maybe years later, when we turn over this page, we will find a blank place, a place that will never be filled out...

We didnt make mistakes three years ago. Today, we face the college entrance examination in an unhurried way, attend the graduation ceremony actively, and draw a successful conclusion for our senior high school life.

A long time ago, and has a small drop of water in the East China Sea listening to the story of the East China Sea Grandpa stresses. It is aware of the East China Sea using miles apart, can not be described in a vast sea, with 1000 960 high enough to describe the depth of the sea. It is very envious of the East China Sea. Therefore, it asked the East China Sea grandfather : Grandpa East. Why then has the vast East China Sea so deep? East grandfather told it : I also another little drop of water, I and many partners around the clock to muddy pool together a small partnership, it becomes a small stream. But we do not stop pace, the United States is continuing to pour forward, and then became rivers. Finally many rivers come together, it becomes a sea, the formation of the East China Sea. small drop asked : We really have so much power? can be turned into a stream, into a river into the sea? East Grandpa replied : Of course not! can not become small rivers flow, so you can become the sea. Also, into the sea, Do not forget the existence of small water droplets, not to overlook the power of small water droplets, but it is the source of our life! Without it, We would not. small drop in the East China Sea remember his grandfather, finally became the famous South China Sea.

很久以前，有一粒小水滴听东海爷爷讲有关东海的故事。它知道东海用千里之遥，不能形容海的辽阔，用千仞之高，不足以形容海的深度。它非常羡慕东海。

于是，它问东海爷爷：东海爷爷，为什么东海那么辽阔还那么深呢?东海爷爷告诉它：我以前也是一粒小水滴，我和许多伙伴们日夜不停地奔流，小伙伴汇集融合在一起，就成了一条小溪，但我们没有停止脚步，继续日夜不停的地向前奔流，然后又成了江河，最后许多江河汇集在一起，就成了大海，形成了现在的东海。小水滴又问：我们真的有那么大的力量吗?可以变成小溪，变成江河，变成大海吗?东海爷爷回答道：当然可以啦!不积小流无以成江河，所以你们都可以成为大海的。还有，成海以后，不要忘记小水滴的存在，更不要轻视小水滴的力量，它可是我们生命的源泉啊!没有它，就没有我们。

小水滴记住了东海爷爷的话，最后终于成为了著名的南海。

放假前，我的心情是五味杂陈的，我总是有着满足的心情计划转眼间就结束的假期，我总是以兴奋难耐的心情看着那宛如昙花一现的假期。

放假时，虽有堆积如山的作业，但对我而言，那是最甜的折磨，最美的陷阱。可是，时间却令我有种度日如年的感觉。原来眼前美好的假期，其实是最痛苦的享受啊!这时的我，听见不远处有小孩的嬉闹声，才恍然大悟，我原来离自由之门有十万八千里，用光速也无法追到。这时，我就像从天堂掉到十八层地狱的底端，不禁深深叹一口气。

假期生活中，我最难忘的便是前往故宫了，我在馆内被细腻的瓷器吸引时，我就像笼中鸟被放出一般自由，忘了昨日的苦。那段痛楚的回忆就像枷锁一样，我到现在依旧忘不了。

眼看假期到了尾声，我就像马一样猛吃回头草，虽然我不停在和数学战斗，可是，我还是十分喜欢回味这段痛苦的回忆。

在故宫，我看见了许多珍贵的文物、玉器以及佛像，我也学到了青铜器的用途以及做法，充足了许多知识。并充分享受这段知识之旅!

volunteer labour.

上周六,4月28日,我和我的同学去了学校附近的公园里。你能猜猜我们去做什么了吗?不是去玩而是去参加公益劳动。

No matter in the north or in the south, people like hot pot very much and every region has its local features. For example, Sihuan hot pot is hot while Guangdong hot pot is famous for its fresh. Usually, there is a metal hot pot in the middle of table. When the soup in the pot is kept simmering, dishes are put into the pot. Beef, mutton, fish and vegetables are the main dishes. It is extremely popular in winter because it can keep the dishes warm all the time. And the atmosphere is hot, too. Friends or relatives sit down together to have a feast. It s a good way to relax.

在我国，你知道冬天什么食物最受欢迎吗?我知道是火锅。火锅是我国的民间美食，不管是北方还是南方，人们都爱吃火锅，而每个地方的火锅也有自身的地域特点。比如，四川火锅是辣的而广东的火锅则以味道鲜美著称。通常来说，吃火锅时，会在桌子的中间放一个金属锅，当锅里的汤料沸腾时，就可以把菜放到火锅里了。牛肉、羊肉、鱼和蔬菜都是火锅的主要食材。火锅在冬天大受欢迎是因为它能一直保持热度，并且吃火锅的气氛很热烈，亲人朋友团座一桌，享受大餐，这是一种很放松的就餐方式。

[初三英语作文-Hot Pot

Today we visited Red Star Farm.

Early in the morning, we met at the school gate and went there together.

About two hours later, we arrived. On arriving there, we were given a warm

welcome by the farm workers. Then one of the workers showed us around the farm.

We were very glad to see the crops and vegetables growing so well. At noon, we

had a picnic happily.

After the picnic, we enjoyed ourselves in the sunshine. We listened to

music, dancing and singing. Some were talking happily and even two of our

classmates played chess. How time flies! It was time for us to leave though we

didnt want to. It was really an unforgettable visit for us.

今天我们参观了红星农场。

一大早，我们就在校门口，走到一起了。大约两个小时后，我们到达。一到那里，我们是由农场工人的热烈欢迎。然后其中一名工人向我们展示了农场周围。我们很高兴地看到庄稼和蔬菜长势那么好。中午的时候，我们有一个愉快的野餐。

野餐后，我们喜欢自己在阳光下。我们听音乐，跳舞和唱歌。有些人愉快地交谈，并有两位还下起了象棋。时间过得真快!现在是时候让我们离开，虽然我们不希望。这真是一个令人难忘的参观啊。

Sports do us good in many respects. It goes without saying that taking

exercises can build up our physical strength. In collective sports like

basketball, volleyball, or football, we will learn the importance of

cooperation. While taking part in sports game, we will try our best to win and

arouse ourselves the competitive spirit. Sports can also help us relax after a

period of exhausting work. However, as the saying goes, there are two sides to

everything, and sports is without exception. We may hurt other players or

ourselves if we are not careful enough when participating in sports activities.

Whats more, excessive or severe training can do harm to our health.

Yesterday, we had a discussion. The topic is"What is my dream?"Everyone has his dream. Some want to be teachers,others want to be scientists. My dream is to become a doctor.

My friends asked me why. I told them my story. When I was a small boy, I was very weak. Once I was terribly ill. I had a high fever. My parents sent me to the hospital but the doctors could do nothing for me. Then my parents heard there was a very good doctor in another town. They took me there at once. I was saved.

A good doctor can save peoples lives. From then on I decided to become a doctor. I know it is not easy to be a doctor.But I am determined to study hard. I am sure my dream will come true.

A new year,a new start,when i stand on the edge of a new year,i cant help thinking about my plan of next year.

just as the old saying:"well began is the half of the success.”so i decide that i should be at work while the others are still relaxing,and then,at the beginning,im quicker than the others and of course i will get better result than the others.

But,what i really decide to do is that i must make good of anytime i can spare though it seems impossible. while,i will do my best to live up with what i have planned,and the result will prove it.

新的一年，新的开始，当我在新的一年的边缘立场，我不禁在想我明年的计划。

正如古人云：“好开始是成功的一半”，所以我决定，我应该是在工作，而另一些性传播疾病就会放松，然后，在开始时，我比其他人更快，我当然会得到比别人更好的结果。

但是，我真正决定做的是，我必须利用好，我可以随时备用，虽然它似乎是不可能的。虽然，我会尽我所能，用我生活已计划了，结果将证明这一点。

I like holidays because I have enough time to relax. Last year, my

father and I went to Singapore by plane, there is a beautiful place, the four

seasons pleasant climate, there are many Chinese immigrants in Singapore, and

there are lots of Chinese food, like noodles, dumplings, rice, very delicious,

we shopping there, watching the scenery, and taste a lot of delicious food. It

was a very enjoyable

holiday.

我喜欢假期，因为我有足够的时间去放松。去年，我和爸爸坐飞机去了新加坡，那儿是个美丽的地方，四季气候宜人，新加坡有许多中国移民，而且那里有许多中国食物，比如面条，饺子，米饭，非常美味，我们在那里购物，观赏了美景，并且品尝了许多美味的食物。这真是一个令人愉快的假期。

Saving Water

The world is not only hungry,but also thirsty for water. This may seem strange to you, since nearly 75 % of the earths surface is covered with water. But about 97% of this huge amount is sea water, or salt water. Man can only drink and use the other 3% -- the fresh water that comes from rivers, lakes,underground, and other sources. And we cannot even use all of that, because some of it is in the form of icebergs and glaciers. Even worse, some of it has been polluted.

However, as things stand today, this small amount of fresh water, which is constantly being replaced by rainfall, is still enough for us. But our need for water is increasing rapidly-- almost day by day. Only if we take steps to deal with this problem now can we avoid a severe worldwide water shortage later on. A limited water supply would have a bad effect on agriculture and industry. Let me give you just one small exampie of how necessary water is to industry. Did you know that to produce a single ton of steel, it takes about 91, 000 liters of water?

We all have to learn how to stop wasting our precious water. One of the first steps we should take is to develop ways of reusing it. Experiments have already been done in this field, but only on a small scale. For us, the systems are as important as the spacecraft.

节约用水

我们的世界不仅饥饿，而且因为缺水而干渴。对你来说这可能似乎奇怪：因为我们的地球表面75%由水覆盖着。但是，这巨大的数量中97%是海水、或咸水。只有剩下3%

的来自河流、湖泊、地下，和其他来源的淡水供人们饮用、使用。即使如此，这3%的水源我们也不能够完全使用，因为有些淡水是以冰山或冰河的形式存在。更糟糕的是，一些水源已遭受了污染。

然而，尽管按现状看来，这些少量的淡水即使时常转化成雨水的形式，对我们来说，也仍然够用。可是我们对水的需求却日益迅速增长。我们只有现在采取措施解决这一问

题才能避免未来世界范围内的严重水资源缺乏。限量供水会对农业和工业产生不良的影响。我们举个小小的事例就能证明水对工业的必要性。每生产一吨钢材就要消耗91，000升水，你知道吗?

我们必须杜绝对宝贵水资源的浪费。我们应该采取的第一步就是要发展水再利用的方法。该领域的实验已在进行，但是仅是小规模地进行。水资源再利用系统的重要性

对我们而言，与空间站不相上下。

Ground rules

One of my favorite teachers at Southeast Missouri State University in Cape

Girardeau was known of his droll sense of humor. Explaining his ground rules to

one freshman class, he said, "Now I know my lectures can often be dry and

boring, so I don‘t mind if you look at your watches during class. I do, however,

object to your pounding them on the desk to make sure they‘re still

running."

基本原则

位于吉拉多海角的密苏里东南州立大学有一位我非常喜欢的老师，他奇特的幽默感很是出名。在对一个新生班级讲解他的基本原则时，他说：“我知道我的讲课可能经常会枯燥乏味，了无生趣，所以如果你们在上课时看表我并不介意。不过我坚决反对你们将表在课桌上猛敲看它们是不是还在走。”

Dear Mr Fu,

This is my first letter to you. Its a thank-you letter!

Thank you for what? Thank you for teaching me and helping me.

When I am in trouble, is your warm hand to help me, not when I want to give

up when you use your words to support me, I sincerely thank you! Thank you very

much!

In the coming Christmas, I would like to express my deep thanks to you

again!

I wish you good health and good luck in everything!

Your students

亲爱的复老师

这是我给你写的第一制封信，是一封感谢信!

感谢什么呢?感谢你对我的教导，对我的帮助。

在我困难的时候，是你伸出温暖的手帮助我了我，没当我想放弃的时候是您用您的话语支持了我，我衷心的谢谢您!谢谢!

在圣诞节到来之际，我再次向你表达我深深的谢意!

祝您是身体健康，万事如意!

点亮阅读新灯，照亮人生旅途

在浩瀚漆黑的穹顶之下，我举起一盏小明灯夜读。光芒虽小，却给人温暖的微光，仿佛与苍穹之上那遥不可及的星星相映。

阅读是为了活着。

阅读不能改变人生的起点，但它可以改变人生的终点。阅读让人生永不听任命运的摆布，把握自己，执着地走向梦想的极地。不论出身境地优裕或是贫寒，阅读可以改变人生的坐标和轨迹，奏响人生的乐章。

书为黑暗的人生点起一束光芒。美国有一位总统林肯，他出生在一个卑微的家庭里，父亲是个鞋匠，家徒四壁。但林肯不以自己的家庭情况自卑，而是加倍的汲取着知识。由于他的勤奋与好学，从书籍中学到了丰富的知识，读书改变了他的人生，为他本无奈落魄的人生增添了光彩，从而踏上当总统的台阶。如果没有林肯的勤奋好学，不断汲取知识，阅读书籍，还有以后的地位吗？

我国伟大的文学家鲁迅先生说过，要博览群书，知识才会更加充实。要如蜜蜂一样，采许多花，才能酿出蜜。其实在我们日常生活当中，许许多多的人因书而受益匪浅，就如着名的数学家华罗庚也是一个很好的例子。其实华罗庚不是一生下来就是个聪明的孩子。据说华罗庚读小学的时候，数学成绩一团糟，可是他努力读书，持之以恒，克服了一个又一个困难，终于成了着名的数学家。爱迪生、牛顿也是一样，但他们都是认真地读书，翱游于书的世界，最后获得了成功。谁能说这不是书籍的恩泽？

不仅仅是这些名人要读书，我们更要多得阅读，当今的社会才会进步吧。

熄灭了灯，望着天空，阅读它，穿过地球穿过宇宙穿过时空，为人类开辟了一个遥望世界的无限星空。人类只有百年的航空航天史，然而，阅读却是人类心灵的飞翔机，是最早的“载人宇宙飞船”。它与人生同步，却可以与时间逆行，揭晓迷离的过去，抵达遥远的未来。

My Dream School

I always feel tired after eight classes a day, so my dream school starts at 8:30 a.m. and ends at 3:30 p.m. There are three lessons in the morning and two in the afternoon. We can choose our favorite lessons to learn.

We can spend more time doing some outside reading. The students do after-school activities for one and a half hours every day. We needn’t do a lot of homework. We are all happy to stay at school.

Besides that, my dream school looks like a big garden. There are many kinds of flowers around the modern buildings. Sweet perfumes are diffused all around. If I want to have a rest, I can lie on the grass, listen to music by the lake or look out at the flowers from the classroom windows.

I love my dream school. We will grow up to be happier there.
