As is well known,books teach us to learn life,truth,science and many other

useful things.They increase our knowledge,broaden our minds and strengthen our

character.In other words,they are our good teachers and wise friends.This is the

reason why our parents always encourage us to read more books.

Reading is a good thing,but we must pay great attention to the choice of

books.It is true that we can derive benefits from good books.However,bad books

will do us more harm than good.

众所周知，书籍教会我们学习生活、真理、科学和许多其他有用的东西。它们增加了我们的知识，开阔了我们的思想，增强了我们的品格。换句话说，它们是我们的良师益友。这就是为什么我们的父母总是鼓励我们多读书。

读书是一件好事，但我们在选书上一定要十分注意，好书的确能给我们带来好处，但坏书弊大于利。

Last Sunday my father and I went fishing along a river. We found the water so dirty that we could hardly catch fish in it.

A lot of factories along the river always poured their waste water and rubbish straight into the river which made the river water polluted. In this way most of the fish in the river were killed.

If the river water all over the country is polluted like this， no living things will exist in the water. As we all know， environmental pollution does great harm to living things and human beings. Now more and more people have come to realize how serious this problem is. Our government is doing her best to take measures to fight against pollution. We expect that the water in every river will be made cleaner and cleaner before long.

上个星期日我和爸爸一起去钓鱼。我们发现水太脏了，我们几乎不能在它的鱼。

沿着这条河的许多工厂总是把废水和垃圾倒进河里，使河水受到污染。这样，河里的大部分鱼都被杀死了。

如果这个国家的河水都被污染了，水里就不存在生物。我们都知道，环境污染对生物和人类都有很大的危害。现在越来越多的人开始意识到这个问题有多严重。我国政府正在尽最大努力采取措施打击污染。我们期望在每一条河流中的水将在长时间内变得更清洁，更清洁。

Spring Festival is the most important festival for Chinese people. The Spring Festival is very exciting, especially on the eve of the Spring Festival.

春节对于中国人来说是最重要的节日。在每年的春节都让人兴高采烈，尤其是大年三十那晚，更是达到了高潮。

The Spring Festival lasts for 15 days, there would be starting on the first day, to the end of the January 15 Lantern Festival.it is the busiest time of the year for Chinese people. The arrangements they have to make for family reunions， buying necessities and preparing food keeps them busy throughout the holiday. Many of them travel back home and meet friends over dinner and drinks. The celebrations include decorating the house and setting off fireworks.But we are talking about a tradition that seems to be fading.

春节一共有15天，从大年初一开始，到元月十五元宵节这一天结束。在这段比较长的时间是中国人最忙的时候，他们为家庭聚会作安排，采购年货，准备丰盛的食物，以至于整个春节假期都忙忙碌碌的。许多人在春季期间都要回老家过年，跟朋友碰碰头，聚个餐。庆祝春节也包括大扫除和放烟火。但是我们现在要谈的是越来越淡的年味。

Spring Festival， as it is celebrated today， has undergone many changes， thanks to the country‘s economic development and globalization.

现在的春节已经因为我国经济的发展和全球化的影响而改变了很多。

Yet no Spring Festival is complete without food. People could not get good food whenever they desired in earlier times， something that does not apply to society today. More often than not， people faced the risk of famine. The best time for people to celebrate was when food was available in plenty， and that was possible in spring， or the beginning of the lunar new year. That was the main reason why Spring Festival acquired such great importance among Chinese people.

但是没有哪个春节是完全离得开“吃”的。从前，不论人们提前多久想要买年货，总是不能如愿，而现在早已今非昔比。过去常常还要闹饥荒。人们最好的庆祝时间就是他们能得到食物丰盛的时候，也就是春天或是元月初的那段时间。那也是为什么春节对于中国人如此重要的主要原因。

But three decades of economic growth has ensured that people in China， except for those who are still poor， can enjoy a good meal whenever they want. Such has been the change in people‘s fortune that some have to be treated for obesity and other health problems associated with excessive eating.

但是三十年来的经济发展已经让中国人，除了那些仍然穷苦的人以外，随时都能享受美食。这得益于人民财富的增长，但是后者也导致一些人吃得太多而受到肥胖威胁和健康问题。

In the past， celebrations were limited to events like song-and-dance duets in North China， dragon/lion dances in South China and fireworks， which required the joint efforts of the entire community. But economic development and urbanization seems to have weakened the social links among people. Many， especially those living in cities， are not interested in celebrating the festival with people they hardly know.

在过去，庆祝春节还只停留在北方的二人转和南方的舞龙舞狮等形式。那些庆祝活动往往需要许多人合力才能办得起来。但是经济的发展和国际化程度的提升似乎已经将这种社会联系弱化了。许多人，特别是城市居民，不太愿意与不相识的人一起共度春节。

Many customs associated with Spring Festival have changed， too. In the past， people used to visit relatives and friends with gifts and lots of good wishes. Today， many people， especially the youth， use their cell phones or the Internet to send their good wishes and even "gifts" to their relatives and friends. Some may say this a sign that people have become less caring about their near and dear ones， but we should see this development as a time- and energy-saving exercise granted by the information age.

与春节相关的许多习俗也被改变了。在过去，人们常常会带着礼物走亲访友，互道祝福。今天许多人，特别是年轻人，用手机或是网络向亲朋好友发去“礼物”和祝福。有些人或许会说，这说明人们已经没有那么关心至爱亲朋了，但是我们应该把这种变化看作信息化时代省钱省力的好办法。

In recent times， many people have started praying for a career promotion or more money instead of invoking God or the Buddha for a healthy and long life and the welfare of their family. But the number of such people is decreasing now， which shows that people are becoming more reasonable.

最近几年，许多人开始祈祷事业高升，财源滚滚，而不是求神拜佛，他们身体健康，长命百岁，家庭美满。但是这样的人数现在正在减少，说明人们开始变得更加理性。

there are many kinds of animals in the world,but not only the humans.we live in the same world,and we should be friends.as everybody knows,the humans are the rulers of the world today,so we should protect our friends--the animals!

but how to protect them?as first,i think we must stop killing the rare birds and animals,especially the young ones.the second,we have to protect the environment,to make the sky blue,to make the grass green,to give the animals a comfortable space to live.it`s not only for the animals but also ourselves.the last,we should tell more and more people why and how to protect the animals,make everyone do this.

有一次，我看见在学校门口有一群人围在那，我就好奇的走过去看看，我看见有一位阿姨在那里卖小蝌蚪，那些小蝌蚪非常的活泼可爱，它那小小的身体就像一个个逗号，在盆子里游来游去，它们还不知道它们即将变成小朋友的玩具，它们可能即将死于非命，因为这种贩卖小蝌蚪的行为，让我看了十分心痛。因为小蝌蚪长大了会变成青蛙，青蛙可是庄家的“守护神".

青蛙是动物世界里最出色的“小小捕虫专家”，就连农民伯伯也亲密的称它为“农田卫士”.青蛙眼睛锐利，舌头吞吐迅速，专门捕捉苍蝇.蚊子.飞蛾等害虫，一只青蛙一天捕食害虫少说也有五六十只，多则两百多只，照这样推算一只青蛙一年至少要吃掉一万八千只害虫.你想如果你杀死一只青蛙就等于杀死一个庄家“小卫士”，也等于让几万只害虫逃之夭夭，从而使庄家招到更多的危害，捕捉青蛙会让青蛙的数量减少甚至绝种，失去这些好朋友是多么可惜啊！如果青蛙绝种了那么谁来保护庄家保护良田呢，有句农谚说的好：“春捕一只蛙，秋少一担粮”！可见青蛙和庄家息息相关！

不但青蛙是益虫，就连它们的宝宝蝌蚪也是捕虫能手，一只蝌蚪每天可以吃掉一百多只蚊子，如果每亩田多有四百多只青蛙农民就可以不用喷洒农药了，我们也就能够吃到无公害的绿色食品了！这样不仅庄稼获得了丰收，生活用水也可以少受到污染了，大家也不用担心因为水的污染身体收到伤害了.这是多么美好的一件事啊！

世界不能没有动植物，保护动植物就等于人类，让我们携起手来保护动植物保护青蛙吧！

我的春节和你们的春节大不相同，我回了河南汝南的老家，放了许多各种各样的炮，有大纸炮、飞天雷、飞天火箭、水雷等等。

有一天，我把一个有30厘米高，直径20厘米的白色大纸炮放在雪堆里，它的威力比小型手榴弹的还大，我用火机点燃了火线，然后我很快的跑进了屋里，1、2、3，轰的一声，好像大地都被震得颤动起来，我跑上去一看，雪堆上有一个很大的洞，比我想象得还要大。我们又把水雷往水里里一扔，很大一个水花一飞冲天，威力无边，把水面的冰都炸得飞了起来，水面上出现了壮观的景象，很多黑色的烟从水而起。

在老家过年真开心，我可以放炮，还可以率领很多童子军，我在老家的这几天玩得很开心。

I have rested for 10 days. In these days, I felt very bored. I didn’t know

to do what. Although I had a lot of things to do, I felt uncomfortable. I was

ill because of the hot weather. I was tired, sleepy and had no strength. My

parents are worried about my health. in fact, it didn’t matter. I was always in

the room with air-conditioner and opened it in a low temperature. So when I went

listening to music makes me relaxed.When I am tired,I will listening some quiet

music,that makes me fall asleep very quickly.My favorite music is the music that

has good lyrics.Good lyrics can also make me learn Chinese or English well.

I love listening to music.I will keep this hobby forever.

我的爱好是听音乐。

我最喜欢听音乐，因为听音乐使我很放松，当我累了，我会听一些安静的音乐，这让我很快睡着。我喜欢的音乐是具有优美的歌词。优美的歌词也可以在音乐让我学习中国或不好英语，我喜欢听音乐.我将保持这个爱好，直到永远。

“保护动物”这四个字我们每天都在说，可是又有多少人在用实际行动表示呢?被割掉胸鳍和尾鳍的鲨鱼，被割掉角的犀牛，用洁白的象牙制作的装饰品，活熊取胆……这一件件残忍的事情时常发生，申赋渔的《逝者如渡渡》叙说了数百年间，世界各地灭绝了的或正在走向灭绝的30多种动物的故事，如：日本象.指猴.象龟.渡渡鸟……它们都是人类的伙伴，它们也曾快乐的生活在这个地球上，可是，因为人类掠夺了它们的生存空间，使它们从地球上永远消失了。

全球变暖，使北极熊赖以生存的浮冰断裂.消融。也使他们的食物——海象.海豹逐渐减少，使北极熊频临灭绝;人口迅速膨胀和乱砍乱伐，使熊猫的生存范围被迫向竹子稀少的山顶推进，食不果腹成了家常便饭，当竹子开花时，有些野生熊猫会因找不到食物而饿死。熊猫虽是我国的“国宝”，可在全世界的数量也不过区区2000多只。

人类啊!醒悟吧，让“保护动物”不只是说说而已。动物是人类的朋友，是地球大家庭中的一员，动物同人类生活在同一个地球上，动物作为食物链中的一员，如果动物灭绝了，那么人类也逃脱不了灭绝的厄运。

动物是有灵性的，它们也有思维和感情，人类怎么能忍心去杀害它们呢?每一个物种的消失，都是人类走向孤独的脚步，没有了动物的陪伴，人类还能走多远?保护动物绝不仅仅是一个组织的责任，大自然为大家所共有，保护动物，人人有责。但愿每个人都问一下自己，自己的行为曾经给地球带来过怎样的伤痛?自己有没有为一时的利益而透支我们的未来?

I am a student from Xinhua Middle School in Chongqing，China. Informed that

you have a vacancy for a student to serve as the spokesman for animals, I cannot

resist my inner excitement,hoping to seize the opportunity to do something for

animals .

In my mind，nothing can delight me so much as caring for animals. Wherever I

go and whatever I do, I usually keep in mind that animals are angels from the

heaven, which bring us endless comfort and pleasure. I have been a panda lover

since my childhood. Panda is so lovely that brings fun to people and they are

regarded as the treasure of our country. Unfortunately，such a rare species is

now faced with the danger of being extinct。What I am eager to do is to raise

people’s awareness of animal protection and appeal to more people to care for

our earth companies.

It is my belief that all human beings can make a difference together. I

would appreciate it if my application could get your approval.

It was sunny today. I was excited. I got up at a quarter to seven. I made a

appointment to meet at nine o’clock. After I had my breakfast, I went to the

Wanjia Market . It was hot outside. When I arrived, my friends didn’t arrive. I

waited for him in front of the KFC’s door. I haven’t seen them for a year. And

in a year, we didn’t come into contact with others frequently. About ten minutes

left, my friends arrived one by one. After we greeted,we went to play basketball

in Liwan Gymnasium. The match last for tow hours.Oh!I fill very happy today!

世界上有很多很多的有益小动物需要我们保护。

有益的小动物有哪些呢？比如：青蛙、猫头鹰、壁虎等等。就说蚯蚓吧，蚯蚓可以给树苗松土，让树苗健健康康地成长，让我们人类得到更多的氧气，让空气变得更新鲜，所以我们不能伤害它。想知道我是如何知道它的功能的？请读者继续往下看吧！

有一次，我在爷爷家的后院帮爷爷浇花的时候，忽然，我看到一个红色的东西，吓得猛叫。爷爷还以为出了什么事，急忙跑过来，一看，原来是一条蚯蚓！爷爷告诉我它可以松土。这就是我如何知道的。因为它黏黏的滑滑的，一节一节的，看上去很恶心，所以我不敢摸。

虽然看着蚯蚓恶心，但是它真的是有益的小动物，我们不能伤害它。

It was a fine day today and the sun was bright. I visited Beijing Zoo with my classmate, He Song. The animals were so interesting that all the people loved them. When a bear asked for some food by waving its ann, a visitor threw something to it. At once I went up to him and said without thinking,Dont do that. Its bad for it. If you really love them, take good care of them. His face turned red and answered he wouldnt do that again.

亲爱的梁老师：

您好!我写信是想要感谢你为我做出的努力。在你的帮助下，我在学习上取得了很大的进步。一年前，我的学习成绩很差，我不想再学习了，但是你从来没有放弃我。你告诉我我很聪明。只要努力，我一定很棒。近年，你很关心我的学习，帮了我很多。当我犯错的时候，你总是指出错误并帮我更正。现在，我的学习比以前好多了，我想向你表达我的感激。祝您一切顺利。

Ask me what is like small animals, that I will not hesitate to answer - my little black dog!

The little black dog temperament is very docile, very human nature.

I get along with it for a long time, in love, it seems very understand me. Whenever I am angry, it squatted beside me quietly motionless and seems to want to accompany me through the sad time. I am happy, it will run up to and around me, "an auf" cried, very agreeable.

The little black dog she is cute!

In black, shiny hairs, eyes with two white spots, like two white beads. On the head and on his thighs hair is very long, like a horse head to the ground. Straight ear, as if time in listening to what passed around. Thick and long broom tail swing, from time to time as a cleaner for free! More funny is that it always speaks with a wet nose toward me, like a sick child, seems to be very poor, in fact, I know it really want to play with me. In the invitation to me!

The puppy experience dangerous also have several times.

Is the first time fell into the river, fortunately, was found to pull up, feed it to take medicine, good soon. And on several occasions by poison poison dog several times, but also by early treatment, will have to escape. From then on, it can sniff out those toxic food, what food non-toxic. Later, our dog never in poison. It very sharp!

The little black dog is my favorite animals, because it brings me a lot of laughter! Do you like my what?

问我喜欢的小动物是什么，那我会毫不犹豫的回答——我家的小黑狗!

小黑狗的性情很温顺，很通人性。

我和它相处久了，产生了感情，它好像很理解我。每当我生气的时候，它就静静地蹲在我身边一动也不动，似乎想陪我度过那难过的时间;我高兴的时候，它就会围着我跑来跑去，“汪汪汪”地叫着，很讨人喜欢。

小黑狗可逗人喜欢了!

一身黑亮亮的绒毛，眼睛上面有两个白点，颇像两颗白色珠子。头上和大腿上的毛很长，像马鬓一样拖到地面。直楞楞的耳朵，好象时刻在倾听着周围有什么动静。又粗又长的扫帚尾巴不时摇摆着，像一个免费清洁工呢!更逗人的是它总翘着潮湿的鼻子向着我，像一个生病的孩子，看起来似乎很可怜，其实，我知道它很想和我玩。在向我发出邀请呢!

小狗的经历危险也有几次。

第一次是掉进了河里，幸好被人发现拉了上来，喂给它吃药，不久就好了。还有几次是被毒狗的人毒了几次，幸好也被及早治疗，才得脱险了。从那以后，它就能嗅出那些食物有毒，哪些食物无毒。后来，我家的狗再也没中过毒。它够机灵吧!

小黑狗就是我喜欢的动物，因为它给我带来了许多欢声笑语!你们喜欢的动我是什么呢?

Mothers Day

Mothers Day comes on the second Sunday in May each year. On that day this year, I bought a sweater and some flowers for my mother to thank her for her hard work for me. Receiving my gift, my mother was very happy.

作文翻译：

母亲节是五月的第二个星期日。今年母亲节那天，我为母亲买了一件毛衣和一束鲜花作为礼物，感谢母亲为我付出的辛苦。母亲收到礼物后，非常高兴。

The dog is one of the most popular pets in the world. It ordinarily remains loyal to a considerate master, and because of this the dog has been called mans best friend. Class distinctions between people have no part in a dogs life. It can be a faithful companion to either rich or poor.

Dogs have been domesticated for most of human history and have thus endeared themselves to many over the years. Stories have been told about brave dogs that served admirably in war or that risked their lives to save persons in danger. When Pompeii--the Roman community destroyed by Mount Vesuvius in AD 79--was finally excavated, searchers found evidence of a dog lying across a child, apparently trying to protect the youngster. Perhaps few of the millions of dogs in the world may be so heroic, but they are still a source of genuine delight to their owners.

A dog fits easily into family life. It thrives on praise and affection. When a master tells a dog that it is good, the animal happily wags its tail. But when a master scolds a dog, it skulks away with a sheepish look and with its tail tucked between its legs.

People in the city as well as those in other areas can enjoy a dog. Medium-size or small dogs are best suited for the confines of the city. Large dogs need considerable exercise over a large area.

Dogs are not always well thought of, however. In recent years dogs in the city have been in the center of controversy. Some people have criticized dog owners for allowing their pets to soil sidewalks and lawns, although in some cities laws oblige owners to walk their dogs along street curbs. In turn, dog owners have argued that the animals serve as protection against vandals and burglars and thus protect their detractors as well as their owners.

When a person decides to own a dog, he should be prepared to care for it properly. For a dog to stay healthy it must be correctly fed and adequately groomed, and its medical needs must be met. For a dog to be well-mannered it must be properly trained. It should never be ill-treated or mishandled. Otherwise, it will bite in its own defense.

The wild ancestors of all dogs were hunters. Wolves and other wild relatives of the dog still hunt in packs for their food. Dogs have retained the urge to be with the pack. This is why they do not like to be left alone for long. Some breeds of dogs still retain the hunting instinct.

Dogs exist in a wide range of sizes, colors, and temperaments. Some, such as the Doberman pinscher and the German shepherd, serve as alert and aggressive watchdogs. Others, such as the beagle and the cocker spaniel, are playful family pets, even though they were bred for hunting. Still others, such as the collie and the Welsh corgi, can herd farm or range animals. Each of the dogs just mentioned is a purebred. A mongrel dog, however--one with many breeds in its background--can just as easily fit into family life.

Dogs have been with humans since prehistoric times. Over the years they have performed various services. They have pulled sleds over snowy tracts. They have delivered messages, herded sheep and cattle, and even rescued persons trapped in the snow. Dogs have served as a source of food, too. The ancient Romans are said to have prized certain kinds of dog stew. The Aztecs of ancient Mexico raised tiny dogs, thought to be the forebears of the chihuahua, to feed the large carnivores in the private zoos of the Aztec rulers. In the past dogs have even been worshiped as gods. Recently, they have been used in drug research, medical experimentation, and space science. Soviet scientists launched dogs into space to test the ability of mammals to survive the rigors of space travel before people were sent up.

Dogs are trained as guard dogs in peacetime by the United States Army and other military services. Because of their keen sense of smell, dogs are used by police at times to track down escaped prisoners. Law enforcement agencies also rely on the dogs acute sense of smell to uncover illegal drugs. And specially trained dogs serve as the "eyes" of the blind, guiding the steps of their sightless masters around obstacles and hazards.

狗是世界上最受欢迎的宠物之一。它通常仍然忠于一个体贴的主人,因为这个狗被称为人类最好的朋友。人们之间的阶级差别没有生活在狗的一部分。它可以是一个忠实的伴侣,无论是富人还是穷人。

狗驯化在人类历史的大多数时期,因此球员很多。故事被告知关于勇敢的狗,令人钦佩的战争或冒着生命危险拯救的人处于危险之中。当庞培——罗马社区在公元79年被维苏威火山——终于被挖掘,搜索者发现一只狗躺在一个孩子的证据,显然试图保护这个年轻人。也许一些世界上数以百万计的狗可能是英雄,但他们仍然是一个真正的喜悦主人的来源。

一只狗容易符合家庭生活。在赞美和感情。当大师告诉一只狗,它是好的,动物快乐地摇尾巴。但当主人骂狗,它潜伏了一个羞怯的外观和它的两腿之间夹着尾巴。

城市的人们以及那些在其他领域可以享受一只狗。中型或小型狗是最适合城市的范围。大型犬在大面积需要相当大的锻炼。

然而,狗并不总是值得思考的。近年来狗在城市里一直在争论的中心。有些人批评狗主人允许宠物土壤人行道和草坪,尽管在一些城市的法律迫使业主限制他们的狗沿着街道散步。反过来,狗主人认为,动物作为防范破坏者和窃贼,从而保护他们的批评者以及它们的主人。
