我的假日生活是快乐多彩的!

Ive been in my middle school for four years。 Four years school life plays an important role in my life。

I enjoy making friends， getting knowledge and having interesting time in my school。 I have also made friendship with lots of classmates， and I have also been taught different lessons by lots of different patient teachers。 I have grown up a lot in the past four years。

I will never forget my four years school life。

According to a recent Hurun report, among the rich worth more than 10million RMB, 14 percent either have already migrated or are applying for migration to a foreign country, and nearly half of them are considering joining the group. It is also said that China has become the largest emigration country in the world. US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), the number of Chinese applicants for investment immigration has exceeded applications from any other country or region.

So why do so many of the rich in China choose to move out? How will this country be affected by the so called “migration tide”.

Better education and robust law system are among what they are looking for overseas. In a violent contrast to Chinese rocketing economy, our education level is still left far behind that of some foreign country, especially the US. People who have made wealth in the past 30 years and subsequently seek better education for the future of their children, join the migration army. Secondly, unlike some who concern about children education much more, other rich people pay more attention to the security of their asset. They are worrying about their asset safety in China, and strongly believe that, under the protection of foreign laws which are nearly to perfection, they will live a life of ease.

It can be seen that after obtaining great deal of wealth, rich people in China are obviously pursuing a better living condition, either for their children or themselves. So the question is raised that will this emigration affect China negatively. I say yes, but not as seriously as many think.

China witnessed two migration tides before, one in the late70’s, another early 90’s.From these two, the nowadays migration differs in some aspects. The emigrants are no longer poor students only with a resolution to bring back to their motherland cutting edge science and technology overseas, instead they wave goodbyes to China taking with them substantial wealth and many of them are still top-notch intellectuals. It is almost certain that, from this perspective, emigration will undermine China on the way to her rise. However, in my perspective of view, this kind of migration will in some way make China much more influential in the world. The current western world still knows China too little, especially in terms of common citizens. Citing India for example, we can see a similar tide took place in India in the 60’s, which once drew attention and concerns in Indian government and society. Several decades later, these Indian emigrants still keep in bond with their motherland, and improve the image of Indians, thus lift the status of India in the world. So I expect Chinese emigrants will also contribute to China’s success in a different but profound way.

Migration tide this time indicates that China, who is on the way of great economy increase, still has more flaws to be perfected, when compared with some developed countries. But we needn’t worry too much. Maybe it’s not a bad thing when looking back several decades later.

Take a look at our side, the bustling streets, tall buildings, wide streets, and the open square, wide variety of goods... But compared with my mother when I was a child, great changes have taken place in our lives.

Listen to my mother, she was very poor when I was a child, the things in the shop are very few, its hard to find in a year. A piece of candy and other snack foods, things will be used to buy tickets, if there is no ticket to buy things no amount of money is useless, to buy food with food stamps, buy meat to use paper. But also the limitation of supply, not can use as much as they want to use, the dinner at ordinary times is no nutrition, can only eat the New Year a bit better, so at that time mom is the most happy is to celebrates New Years eve. But now I want to eat what can buy in the supermarket, home snacks also never broken, my mother every day become a figure for me as a nutritious food, but sometimes I also fastidious, thought everything is not good, now our life is happiness!

Mother was little clothes wear small, for sister, never willing to throw away; Back to school is a cloth bag, school things are very few, and have been used to change). Now I wear clothes are new, shoes have a little dont want to wear, and now I have made several school bag and pencil case, school supplies and countless more, now there is such a good learning conditions and learning environment, I must study hard, for the construction of our country more powerful.

Mom is no fun when I was a child, is the jumping rubber band, mountain climbing, or black and white TV, channel and rarely, show also dont like now so rich and colorful. Now what can I play is really too much, television channels, in addition to watch TV, we can also play computer, Internet, travel, etc.

Change is big, because of the parents hard work, just have us so good life, I must cherish everything now. Strive for to our life better.

看看我们身边，繁华的街市，高大的建筑，宽广的街道，开阔的广场，琳琅满目的商品……可是与妈妈小时候相比，我们的生活发生了巨大的变化。

听妈妈讲，她小的时候很贫穷，商店里的东西也很少，一年很难吃到一块糖和其它的零食，买东西都要用票，如果买东西没有票给再多的钱也没有用，买食物要用粮票，买肉要用肉票。而且还有供应量的限制，不是想用多少就可以用多少的，平时吃的饭也没有什么营养，只有过年的时候才能吃好一点，所以那时侯妈妈最高兴的就是过年了。可是现在我想要吃的东西在超市里都可以买到，家里的零食也从来没有断过，妈妈每天变着花样给我做有营养的饭菜，可有时我还挑三拣四的，嫌东西不好吃，我们现在的生活太幸福了!

妈妈小的时候衣服穿小了，就留给妹妹穿，从不舍得丢弃;上学背的是一个布做的书包，学习用具也很少，而且一直用到不能再用才换掉。而我现在穿的衣服都是新的，鞋子有一点小就不想再穿了，到现在我已经用过好几个书包和文具盒了，学习用品也多的数不清，现在有这么好的学习条件和学习环境，我一定要好好学习，把我们的国家建设的更加强大。

妈妈小的时候也没有什么好玩的，就是跳跳橡皮筋，爬山什么的，有电视还是黑白的，频道也很少，节目也不象现在这么丰富多彩。而现在我可以玩的东西实在是太多了，电视频道非常多，除了看电视，我们还可以玩电脑，上网，旅游等等。

生活的变化实在是大，因为有了父母的辛勤劳动，才有我们这么美好的生活，我一定要珍惜现在的一切。争取让给我们的生活越变越好。

How to Live a Low-carbon Life

越来越多的人提倡低碳生活

现代人倡导低碳生活与日趋恶化的环境问题的关系

提出你认为有效的低碳生活方式

An increasing number of people are asking for a low-carbon lifestyle. They long for a cleaner and more environmental-friendly world.

People’s lifestyle is closed related to our living environment. However, the excessive carbon dioxide emitted into the air has seriously damaged our living environment. The tsunamis, floods and severe droughts caused by the global warming are the biggest threat to people all over the world. The earth seems to be angry with human beings.

The only way to solve the problem is to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide sent into the air. Many measures can be taken. First, people can ride bicycles or walk instead of driving cars to work. Second, less plastic shopping bags should be used. Most important of all, people should be fully aware that we should start now to protect our world before it is too late.

My grade school days are the most wonderful time I have ever had. In those days I always wanted as eagerly to learn as a dog prowls about in search of food. The teachers taught me not only the three R’s but also the way to observe the world surrounding us. They laid more stress on observation than on memorization. Thus we had much time to talk over and trade our learning experiences. What excited me most during my grade school days, however, was to be out collecting specimens of the butterfly. Once, on a sunny day and after walking a good while, we reached a one began to catch the butterflies with great excitement while the teacher told us about the living habit of them. Though we spent more time in playing than in catching butterflies, we still had a rich collection when we went home, and a rich knowledge of wildlife into the bargain. After I attended junior high school I did not have much of an opportunity to learn the way I did in grade school, but did not regret because we are bound to go through various stages of life. Anyway, my grade school education was the cornerstone of my later learning career and for that single reason, if not for any other, I am grateful to it.

Today, after school, my friends asked me to have dinner with them, I felt so happy and went the restaurant with them. Then I found they wanted to eat buffet, I was so happy, because I always wanted to have buffet, I could eat a lot of food.

As we paid the money more than we usually spent, so all of us wanted to eat as more as possible, even though we were full enough, we still tried to eat. I would go the wash room many times, so that I could continue to eat. I found eating the buffet should be a happy thing for me, but now it seemed to be a kind of torture, I always told myself to eat more than I could bear, my stomach hurt.

The experience to eat buffet lets me realize that I should enjoy the food instead of eat more than I could bear.

四级英语写作指导：

一、审题

我们拿到作文后第一件要做的事就是审题。审题的作用在于使你写作不跑题(如果跑题，条理和语言再好，也得不到及格分，甚至0分。)那末审题要审什麽呢?

1.体裁(议论文，说明文，描述文)

审题就是要审作文的题材和体裁。因为什末样的体裁就会用什末样的题材去写。那末体裁包括那些呢?它包括议论文，说明文和描述文。从近些年看，四级作文不是单一的体裁，而是几种体裁的杂合体。例如：Directions: For this part ,your are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topicTrying to Be A Good University Student .You should write at least 100 words and you shouldbase your composition on the outline (given in Chinese ) below :

1)做合格大学生的必要性

2)做合格大学生的必备条件(可以从德智体方面谈)

3)我计划这样做

很多人说这种类型的作文是议论文。这是片面的，因为，第一段要求写"...必要性"，这说明本段体裁是议论文;第二段要求写"

...必备条件"，这说明本段要求写说明文;儿地三段要求写"...这样做"，这说明本段要求写描述文。所以在大多数情形下，四级作文是三种体裁的杂合体。

2.根据不同体裁确定写作方法

我们审题的目的就是根据不同体裁确定不同的写作方法。通过审题，我们可以看出四级作文大都是三段式。如上例第一段为议论体，第二段为说明体，地三段为描述体。而各种文体又不同的写作方式： 议论文;要有论点和论据，而且往往从正反两方面来论述。例如上面第一段的思路是：做合格大学生，会怎末样(这是从正面论述);不能做合格的大学生，会怎末样(从反面论述);所以我们要做合格的大学生(结了论)。

说明文：可以从几方面或几条来说明一个问题，就上作文而言，可以从方面(德智体)来说明合格大学生的必要性。

描述文：一"人"为中心描述一个"做"的过程。与上两段相比，本段的主语多为人称代词，他要与第二段相互应进行描述。 二 确定主题句

通过审题，我们知道该如何确定正确的写作思路。下边我们就谈如何些。第一部就是要写主题句。主题句是确保不跑题的前提，只有不跑题才有可得及格分。写主题句嘴保险的方法就是把中文提纲的各句译成英语。例如上述三段主题句分别为：

1)It is very necessary to be a good university student . (议论体的主题句)

2)There are several respects of necessities to be a good university student .(说明体的主题句)

3)What I will do in the future is the following .(描述体主题句)

如果要求句是英语就可以把它变成主题句，例如这样一篇作文：

标题：Good Health

1)Importance of good health

2)Ways to keep fit

3)My own practice

这样的作文的要求句就可以扩充成主题句。扩充后三段的主题句分别为：

1)It is very important to have good health .(将名词importance变成形容词important)

2)There are four ways to keep fit for me .(用there be 句型)

3)My own practices are the following .(采用原词)

二、条理清楚

保证不跑提示写作当中第一任务，第二个重要任务就是要做到条理清楚。对于议论文来说，正反面要清楚，对于说明文来说条理要清楚，对于描述文来说，谁干什么要清楚。就拿上例Good health 来说，第一段保持正反面要清楚救应这样写：正面(With good health ,we can...)，反面(Without good health ,we cando nothing .We cant do...)

为了使文章更具有条理性，我们可以用first(ly) second(ly) third(ly)等副词，他们可以是文章的条例性更加突出。作文是主观题，想得告分就必须引起老师的主意，老师的时间很短(每篇作文只有一两分钟就要阅完)，所以我们在列调试最好不用: To be with,... after that ,...And then, ... The next , ... Thefollowing , ... As last ... 。因为用这样的词语不利于老师看出你作文的条理性。

三、保证作文符合字数要求的十二句作文法

考生一般都希望作文达到字数而又不至于写得太多，因为写得太多一方面暴露自己语言上的弱点，另一方面又会占用过多的时间。写得太多还易跑题，一个有效的方法就是十二句作文法。

我们知道，四级作文都是三段式。我们算一下，如果我们在每一段中写上四句，即主题句加两三句扩展句和一个结论句就可以了。这样全片在十二句左右，每一句十多个词，就又120-150个字。大家可以试图找一些作文题练一练。

Making Every Day Earth Day

Now the earth is in bad condition. For example, in some places, the air and water pollution is so serious that it causes many deaths. At the same time, many animals and plants are in danger because of the destruction of their habitats.

Luckily, we human beings have realized the problem. On April 22nd, millions of people across the world do something good for the earth. Some clean up beaches and water, some pick up rubbish, others give speeches to call on more people to take action. But can we save the earth only by one day’s work? The future of our planet depends on our efforts. What we should do is to make every day Earth Day. Only by taking good care of it every day can we hope to live in harmony with nature.

Depending on personal experience, personality type and emotional concern,

we find that some people hold the idea of living in the country, while others

prefer living in the city. In my opinion, I prefer the city life, though it has

advantages and disadvantages.

First of all, city life is very colorful. City is the center of the

surrounding area. So, it is also the most booming place having the best things.

There are many great things and wonderful activities in the city, while there

isn’t in the country. For example, there are KFC, wonderful shopping mall,

delicious food from various places, dancing club, different kinds of activities

and so on. We can also learn the culture from all the countries. Despite city

life is so wonderful, it still has many disadvantages. Nowadays, with the

improvement of people’s living standard, people have more cars and more people

come to city, and then the city becomes more and more crowd. As a result,

traffic jam emerges, which makes great inconvenience for people to go out.

What’s worse, the air pollution becomes serious day by day, which is bad for

people’s health.

To sum up, every coin has two sides. Living in the city also has good side

and bad aspect. Whether like living in city or not depends on individual

thinking. As myself, I like living in city though I know the disadvantage of

living in city.

People will be become more and more richer in the future.Everything will change.For example: we didnt go to schoool for study, we only stay at home to teach ourselves with computer. No matter where we want to go, we only have a thought.We can go to other plannets without anyones help. If we want to buy something,we only press a key,a robbet will help us.I think our life in the future will be more interesting and wonderful.

在未来，人们会越来越富有，每件事都会改变。例如：我们不必再去学校学习，我们可以呆在家里用电脑学习。无论我们想去那，只需要一个想法，我们不需要任何人的帮助便可以去别的星球。如果我们想买些东西，我们只需要一个按纽，机器人便会帮助我们。我想我们未来的生活是多么的有趣和精彩。

When the summer holiday comes, I will be very happy, because my family and I will go to travel. I like travel so much, I can not only see the beautiful scenery, but also can spend the time with my parents. I feel so easy and don’t have to study, I just play and enjoy my moment. This is my most happy days.

当暑假来临时,我会非常高兴,因为我和我的家人要去旅游。我喜欢旅游,不仅可以看到美丽的风景,还可以花时间与我的父母在一起。我觉得很放松,不需要学习,我只玩和享受的时刻。这是我最快乐的日子。

Nowadays ,many people are talking about low carbon living. I think each and every one of us is responsible for the greenhouse gases we emit in our daily actions and choices. Therefore, combating climate change is going to take the combined efforts of everyone on the planet.

2010 World Expo was held in Shanghai. Shanghai Expo theme is "Better City, Better Life." As a student, we should do something about environmental protection. For example, plant trees, save water and less your car.

Besides, I will try to use things that can be recycled and I never forget to turn off the lights when I leave the classroom. I think it’s my duty to live a low-carbon life. And even the simplest activities can make a real difference to the environment. So I suggest we should reuse books as long as possible. And we’d better not spend much money on expensive clothes. If everyone does something for the environment, I believe the earth will be a better place.

【参考译文】

低碳生活对每个人都有好处。为了帮助环境，我总是步行或骑自行车上学，而不是开车。此外，我会尝试使用可以回收的东西，我永远不会忘记关灯，当我离开教室。我认为低碳生活是我的职责。即使是最简单的活动也会对环境产生真正的影响。所以我建议我们应该尽可能地重复使用书籍。我们最好不要花太多钱买昂贵的衣服。如果每个人都为环境做些什么，我相信地球会变得更好。

Do not rely completely on any other human being, however dear. We meet all life’s greatest tests alone.” -Agnes Macphail

不要完全依赖另一个人，无论他/她有多么珍贵。生活中最大的考验，我们只能独自经历。——加拿大首位女性议员艾格尼丝·麦克菲尔

I have found that the more time I spend alone, the more comfortable I become in my own skin because I can truly get to know myself. This provides me with more patience to accept myself as I am, wherever I am in my journey, on a daily basis.

我发现独处的时间越长，我越觉得舒服、放松和自信，因为这样我可以认识真正的自己。这让我每天都有更多的耐心来接受自己，接受自己在生活旅途中的位置。

This lesson was something I learned after spending a summer alone in Italy with a family friend.

这堂人生课是我独自一人在意大利学到的，当时我在一位世交朋友家里度过了一个夏天。

I embarked on the journey, turning off my phone for the first time, well, probably ever. I would be jetting all over America then landing in a country with a family basically unknown to me.

我踏上旅途，第一次关上了手机，嗯，这么多年来第一次。我在美国上方飞来飞去，然后降落在一个国家，和一家基本上不认识的人生活在一起。

It wasn’t until two years after I returned that I wished I had spent more time living in the moment while experiencing the greatest adventure of my life. I was not comfortable enough in my own skin to truly be present in the magical moments presenting themselves in a foreign country.

直到我回来两年后，我才希望当时要是我能有更多的时间活在当下，经历人生中最大的冒险就好了。当时我不够放松、自信，无法在一个陌生的国家，在那样神奇的时刻，把它们展现出来。

My mind stayed distracted as I wondered what people were thinking of me, and what I would post online to my friends back home.

当我在想我在人们心中是什么样子，当我在想回家后我会在网上发布什么内容时我就会分神。

At 19 years old, it seemed much more important to capture photos to upload to social media. The Internet was a crutch for me to not feel so alone in an unknown territory. As brave as I was to be completely alone in my adventure, I had a thousand people to “connect” with on my lonely nights!

19岁时对我来说，拍摄照片并把它们传到社交媒体上要更为重要。互联网对我来说是个拐杖，能让我在未知的领域中不会感觉到那么孤独。和我独自一人冒险时一样勇敢，在孤独的夜晚，我有一千人可以去“交流”。

Two years later I realized that I could have filled my days with activities for growth.

两年后，我意识到，我可以用有助于自己成长的活动来填满日子。

I now wish I had traveled to nearby cities, spent my days reading in a cafe, tried acupuncture—anything out of the ordinary.

现在我希望我能游遍附近的城市，把时间用在在咖啡馆里阅读、尝试针灸——任何与众不同的东西上。

The truth was I didn’t have the hobbies I have now. The trip did help me grow, but I regret that I could not simply enjoy the moments, instead of wanting thousands of others to see I was enjoying them.

事实上，我现在的爱好以前都没有。旅行确实帮我成长，但我后悔当时我没能享受当下的时光，而是去让成千上万个人看着我在享受。

I discovered that if I want to be happy, it would be my own doing. Happiness is an interior process and comes without validation from others.

我发现如果我想要开心，那是我自己的事情。幸福是内心的过程，不需要得到别人的认可。

This is something that is a lesson to be relearned each day.

这是我每天都要再次重新学习的人生课。

Spending small moments of time alone—sans phone, tablet, laptop, TV, and radio—allows one to really tune in. We need to ask ourselves things like: What is my body telling me today? How do I feel today?

用碎片时间进行独处——关掉手机、平板电脑、笔记本、电视和收音机——允许自己真正地进行调整。我们需要问问自己：我的身体今天告诉我什么?今天感觉如何?

There are all kinds of things we can do to enjoy our alone time, some of them very simple. I enjoy my shower, my yoga practice, and the scenic drive home, all without communication to the exterior world. This helps me to really absorb my practice and just “be.” I find it helpful to journal, old fashion style, with a pen and paper after this little escape.

我们可以做很多事情来享受独处的时光，有些事情非常简单。我喜欢淋浴，喜欢瑜伽练习，喜欢在开车回家的路上看秀丽的风 景，这些都不需要和外部世界联系。这能帮我真正消化自己的所做所为，仅仅安静的待着。我发现在这种小小的消遣之后，用在纸上用笔写日记这样古老的方式很有帮助。

My School Day

I get up at six in the morning. Then I wash my face and brush my teeth. After a quick breakfast, I go to school in my mothers car. It takes us more than half an hour to get there.

We have four hour classes in the morning. I have luch at my grandparents, because their home is nearer to my school.

After two classes in the afternoon, school is over. Then we clean our classroom.

I get home at about half past five. We have dinner at seven. After dinner I do my homework. If I finish my homesork early, I can watch TV for half an hour. I go to bed at half past nine or ten.
