嘿，你好啊。

对不起，我可能还有一点紧张，话也说得语无伦次了，毕竟，这是我第一次喜欢你。

遇到我之前，你过得好吗?现在有了我，生活有变得更好吗?我心里，有很多问题想问你呢。

你喜欢养狗吗，很大很大的那种;你喜欢吃榴莲吗，超级新鲜的那种;你喜欢听周杰伦还是陈奕迅啊，或者，你喜不喜欢方文山和林夕的歌词呢;你喜欢打篮球吗，投三分的样子帅不帅;你喜欢做饭吗，糖和盐是否分得清呢;你喜欢赖床吗，还是已经习惯了熬夜;你喜欢出门散步吗，可能偶尔也会犯懒吧;你喜欢看世界杯吗，还是迷恋着哪个NBA球星;你喜欢春天还是秋天啊，喜欢游泳还是跑步，喜欢奶茶还是冰可乐，你喜欢我吗?

你知道吗，喜欢上一个人的第一反应是什么。

喜欢上一个人的第一反应，是自卑。

我个子不高，多愁善感，有时候还缺乏安全感，敏感得要命，同时，我还很任性，也没什么特殊技能，丢到人群里很快就会被淹没了，你会喜欢这样的我吗?

不过，你可是我男朋友啊，你会包容我吧?

因为你是我男朋友，所以我也可以包容你的。

如果你不喜欢养狗，那我们养猫可以吗;如果你不喜欢榴莲的味道，那我可以在外边吃啊;如果你还喜欢听别人的歌，我可以唱给你听的;虽然我体育不太好，但我愿意静静坐着看你打球;要是你不会做饭，那我可以教你啊，就从炸辣椒油开始教吧;要是你喜欢赖床，那其实我也可以躺着看书陪你的;要是你特别宅，那我就每天撒娇拉你出去散步;如果有世界杯，你可以带朋友来家里呀，酒和零食都有，但累了的话还是要休息一会儿;要是你也非常喜欢我，那我除了真心对你好，就再想不出别的什么回应方法了。

只要我们不分开，我就把这颗心加热到最舒服的温度，然后就一直对你恒温下去。

什么?你说你还买不了房子，没关系啊，租的也可以，关键是有你就可以了啊，房子什么的，我可以陪你一起攒钱，不过我好像还挺能花钱的，以前一个人从来没什么大计划，看到什么稀奇古怪的东西都想买，现在有了你，乱七八糟的花销，就存下来留着添砖加瓦吧。

啊?你工作很忙啊?那你告诉我你平时喜欢吃什么，我学东西很快的，味道不对的话，我就去问你妈妈取经，可能一开始要失败那么几次，你可千万不要对我丧失信心。如果你回家要晚一些，我就给你留一盏灯，然后看书等你回来，像宠物猫一样竖着耳朵听你由远及近的脚步声，然后在门打开的那一刻立马扑过去给你拥抱。但是也不能回家太晚啊，门禁还是要有的，敢整天出去玩的话，我就换门锁了。

其实，我从不怀疑你现在说的喜欢我，毕竟我们现在除了彼此还什么都没有，我害怕等有一天我们什么都有了，现在还紧紧拉着的手就慢慢变松了。

不过，我会努力克服自己的敏感，我会选择把赌注都压在你的身上，虽然一开始会有顾虑，但只要做了选择，我就不会再动摇了，因为爱，也是一种成年后的勇敢。

我会怀着一颗愿赌服输的心，珍惜有你在身边的每一个时刻。

你知道吗，我常常会幻想有你之后的生活。

虽然我还不知道你做什么工作，但我希望那是一份可以经常穿衬衫的工作，因为这样我就可以帮你打领带了，我会为你准备一个大大的整理箱，里面摆满专门为你挑的各式领带。每天早上你起来洗漱，我就坐在桌边把吐司弄成可爱的模样。你对着镜子一边吹口哨一边整理头发，然后恍然发觉自己快要迟到了，这个时候的你最可爱了，你会急匆匆地走到我身边，拿起杯子大口喝光半杯牛奶，手忙脚乱中仍记得俯下身吻我的额头。窗外的太阳光照进来，你湿润的吻痕开始在我的刘海下肆意发酵，每一颗尘埃都是金色的，你出门前弯腰换鞋子的身影在我眼中光芒万丈。

虽然我也不知道我们会住在哪里，但我想和你一起布置屋子。我们可以手拉手去逛逛宜家。你说你喜欢浅灰色的窗帘，而我偏爱淡绿色的窗纱，争执不下的时候就拿一枚硬币出来，正面是灰色，反面是绿色，谁赢了就听谁的。要是万一你不小心赢了的话，那好吧，我听你的，但你要请我吃五月份最肥硕的小龙虾，加扎啤，还不许跟路边摊老板划价。

虽然你总是一副大大咧咧的样子，但我知道你也有敏感的一面，有了你，深夜里再也不会有其他人的“晚安”和“在干嘛”，我们无话不谈，但又彼此自由，总之，我会努力去找出一种最舒服的相处方法。对了，我才不会故意去翻看你的手机呢，我这么好，不珍惜的话可是你自己的损失，但我依然想拥有你的密码，只为了偶尔去看看你偷拍的我的丑照。

也许你会问我，把自己说的这么好，为什么还一直是一个人啊，那些好，都是骗人的吧。

其实，一个人的生活并不可怕，可怕的是，两个人在一起，反而更加孤独。

我能想象到我们的第一次争吵，你慌张地不知所措，冬天手是不是要呵热了才能给另一个人擦眼泪?万一纸巾太粗糙弄疼了她的脸怎么办?你这样想着，语无伦次地哄我，好像你的耐心是一件没有限度的东西，终于我破涕为笑，假装生气地拧了一下你的胳膊，然后还会撒娇缠着你去街边买有豆沙的糖葫芦。

我还能想到我们的第五次争吵，逞强说没事是我的惯用招儿，你一开始很耐心的，你蹲下来看着缩在沙发上的我，温柔地问我为什么不高兴了。我不说话，只委屈地望着你，慢吞吞地回你说没有不高兴，然后就避开了你的眼光。你蹲了多久呢，拉着我的手，哄了我好一会儿，然后腿也酸了，你站起来，没说一句话，转过身出了家门。你走之后，我的眼眶就红了，我还穿着你灰颜色的高领毛衣，长出一整只手的袖子代替你帮我擦干了眼泪。我也不想和你吵架的，我也有后悔自己太任性的，可我真的太在乎你了。

也许后来的很多很多次吵架中，你会气急败坏地误摔掉咱们一起做的陶艺，还会用很大的声音冲我讲话，你会不耐烦，会觉得在一起没意思，甚至会觉得我变了，你跟我说你以前不这样的，现在怎么这么无理取闹啊。

也许我会看着地上碎了一地的残骸，也回你一句，你以前，也不是这样的。

一直到晚上，我都故意不理你，侧着身子假装睡着，后来夜深了，你小心翼翼地从背后圈住我，把头埋在我的后颈，小声地跟我说对不起，说明天我们重新再去做一次陶艺好不好，是我错了。

我继续不理你，喉咙酸酸的，眼泪被吃进枕头，我说睡吧，然后心里还是回了一句好。

第二天，我们又和好了。

你是不是要说，刚才还甜得掉牙呢，怎么突然这么悲观了，我会对你好的，别瞎想了。

可你也不过是个同我一般年轻的人，我们难免会刺伤对方。

可无论吵得多么激烈，对对方在某一刻有多么不理解，我们还是谁都没有说分手，甚至这两个字都没有钻进过脑海，如果是这样的话，那我们就一直相爱相杀下去吧。

我不会去期望遇到一个完美的人，也不相信爱你一生一世这种毫无根据的情话，我只是希望，我遇到你，哪怕我们不能一起走到生命的尽头，那起码在感情终结之前，我们都是真心爱着的。

爱过，才对得起荷尔蒙催生出的万千承诺。

最后，我亲爱的你，应该也有过很多难过的时刻吧，有时候自卑，有时候愤懑，有时候失意，有时候受伤，你也应该走了很远的路吧，觉得太累了时，也想就那么一个人静一会，与全世界隔离吧。

好巧啊，我也是，所以，我怎么舍得让你一直一个人呢，也舍不得让你把一生都奉献给我。

所以，我们就安安静静的牵着手一起走一走，开心了眉飞色舞地聊一会，疲倦了就一起坐下来看看日落。

直到有一天，我们会养成这样一种默契：

我不怕你会离开我，你也终于懂了我的每一个眼神。

我们在彼此身边，世界再坏，我们都好。

所以，我会努力长大，慢慢变好，收起脸上的惶恐，遮住淤青的伤痕，再准备好一个恰到好处的微笑，然后在你出现的时候，努力地朝你挥舞手臂，大声说句你好。

如果你还在来的路上，一定要好好照顾自己呀。

英语老师：

您好!

在辽阳过得好吗?工作也顺利吧?在这里我给您写一封信，借此问候您。

老师，我永远忘不了那个下午，当我听说您要调到辽阳去教书时，泪水充满了我的双眼——要知道，我舍不得您走，舍不得您，好舍不得!

记得刚学英语的时候，您第一次来给我们上课，您那天穿的好美：白色的连衣裙，长长的头发，大大的眼睛，甜美的声音，我们所有同学都被你迷住了，打那一刻开始，我就喜欢上了您，喜欢您的美丽，喜欢您的甜美的声音。

还记得那次演讲比赛，我在耿庄镇中脱颖而出，代表耿庄镇去海城参加演讲，是您带我去的，虽然我努力了，但是还是只得了一个优秀奖，您安慰我说："没关系，毕竟你这是第一次，下次你一定会取得好成绩的，失败是成功的开始，别伤心了。”我听了，擦干了眼角的泪水，眼里又重新绽放出光芒，我知道，那是希望。从那一刻起，我决定做您最优秀的学生，我下功夫，拼命的学，努力的学，本以为还有机会，可谁知道，比赛之后的第3天，就传出了您要调走的消息。我们不敢相信，简直不敢想象，我们大家都哭了，所有人都哭了。那一刻，想见您，拼命的想见您，我当时都有了那个想法：只要能见您，付出生命我都愿意!您对我们比妈妈还亲，您教给我们的知识，我们会铭记在心，我们知道，您不可能在调回来了，就算调回来，教的也不再是我们了!

老师，自从您调走后，我们做梦都天天梦到您，满脑子想的全是您，您甜美的声音，美丽的笑容，充满希望的眼神…。。

老师，我们好想您!

祝：永远年轻美丽，开开心心的生活!

My favorite subject is Math，I like it very much。Some students think math is

difficult，but i think math is interesting。

In my stduy time, I often practice Exercitationes，I hope to improve my Math

grade。

Thanks for my math teacher, I want to become a math teacher in the

future。

My home is on the first floor. There are two bedrooms, a kitchen and a

living room. I’m a child. I have a nice bedroom. In my bedroom, there is

bedroom, a closet, an air- conditioner and so on. My closet is green. My bed is

blue. I love my bedroom very much.

亲爱的邱泽栋：

你还记得吗?在你四岁时，有一次你和爸爸妈妈从银川开完展会坐火车回郑州。在西安站爸爸带你下去溜达。爸爸在站台上打电话，而你呢?你跑到火车旁，给妈妈打招呼。但你忘了中间隔了一块玻璃，所以妈妈听不见你的声音。你看妈妈没说话就准备走，你忘了下面是火车轨道，你手一松就掉了火车轨道里面去了。然后你就不知道发生了什么。之后你在医院里醒了妈妈坐在你旁边，每天都在你身边……

其实每天每个时间都是珍贵的回忆，其实只要一段话，就能勾住你的回忆……

Dear mike,

There was once a little turtle that wanted to be the fasted animal in the

jungle, everybody laughed at him and said that he could never be the fasted

animal ever. But the turtle didn’t listen to them, and instead, he decided to

learn and study from the wild hare; he was the fasted animal in the jungle oh

yes. In fact, every animal went to learn from the hare had become the fasted

runners too. When the turtle told the hare that he wanted to be the fasted

runner in the jungle, the hare laughed high over heels aloud; “Oh, oh!” cried

the hare, “Turtle, if you want to be the fasted, then you must get that big

shell of your back, Ha-ha!”

The turtle was not very happy about what he had just heard from the hare,

and he eventually decided to prove to him that it was his duty to be the fasted

runner of the jungle. “How about this, I and you have a race;” said the turtle

suddenly, the hare laughed aloud again, “Oh turtle, turtle; please don’t tell me

that you are not going to give up!” “I am not, I have the heart inside my body,

and I do not believe that I couldn’t be the fasted runner in the jungle!” the

hare then finally agreed to race with him.

When the time arrived, the turtle got ready; when the sound began to blow,

the turtle walked along slowly. While the hare in the other case hopped about

happily. “Does he really think that he could beat me?!” shouted the hare, “That

would be a dream in his brain;” said the hare again. When he was almost at the

finish line, the hare said to him, “I shall take a rest, then when I get up the

turtle still behind my tail; and I cross the finish line, using my rest energy;”

saying that, the hare lay down asleep. The turtle still didn’t give up; he soon

found the hare, and crossed him quietly, when he reached the finish line, he

cried out loud; when the hare woke up, found the turtle still wasn’t in front of

him.

He hopped about happily, and when he reached the line, he found the turtle

already resting on a rock. The hare was so shocked that he lay down on the grass

just like that he fainted. And so the turtle became the champion; nobody ever

laughed at him ever again, and whenever some animals wanted to learn running,

they did not go to ask the hare; since he was not yet the fastest any more,

instead they went to the turtle to get advice from their new jungle running

lesson teacher.

with the development of technology, people can do some operations to make

their faces look prefect, even to look much younger than their real ages. when

we see the commercial ads, we can find the stars look gorgeous, we are so envy

about their young faces. but to me, i think the secret of keeping young is not

by surgery operation, but to keep a healthy lifestyle. today, young people are

living an unhealthy life, they like to stay up and wake up at the noon. young

people form the habit of taking activity at night while sleeping in the day. how

terrible it is, they are damaging their bodies, their bodies will get older than

the normal speed. if people sleep early and wake up in the morning, do some

exercises and keep the balance diet, they will look young. so don’t expect the

surgery to help look young, it is harmful, only the healthy lifestyle does.

随着科技的发展，人们可以通过一些手术来让他们的脸看起来完美，甚至看起来比实际的年龄年轻。当我们看到商业广告时，可以发现明星看起来很漂亮，嫉妒他们年轻的容颜。但是对于我来说，我觉得保持年轻的秘密不是通过外科手术，而是保持健康的生活方式。今天，年轻人的生活方式很不健康，他们喜欢熬夜，中午才起床。年轻人养成了在晚上活动，白天睡觉的习惯。这是多么糟糕啊，他们是在损害自己的身体，他们的身体比正常的速度老化得快。如果人们早睡早起，做运动，保持平衡的饮食，他们会看起来年轻。所以不要期望通过外科手术来变得年轻，那是有害的，唯有健康的生活习惯才能让你年轻。

Dear Petty，

I hope you didn’t make any plane for this weekend。 You know I am moving

into the new house， and I sincerely invite you to e to my new house。 I will hold

a celebration party on Saturday night。 The scenery here is fantastic that I am

sure you will like it。 On Saturday， you can walk around my house after you get

here。 The party will begin at 7:00。 You can live in my house that night。 On

Sunday， we can go fishing or play table tennis。 So please do some preparation

for them。 You can drive here and you will see a board “Kelly’s Home” near the

road。 It only takes you one hour to get here。 I hope there will be nothing

stopping you to e。

Yours affectionately，

Dear Mike,

Your letter and package reached me yesterday. You really give me a great surprise. I was wondering what was in such a nice package until I carefully opened it and found that you sent me an attractive present for my birthday. Thank you very much for your kindness, and I like the present, which will give me pleasure for a long time to come.

Again it is thoughtful of you to send me the present on my birthday. Yesterday evening my colleagues held a birthday party for me, including John Liu---I think you can remember---a nice tall boy, who invited you and I to his birthday last October. We enjoyed ourselves, and all of us mentioned your stay with us. We hope that you will come to China soon, if possible.

Please accept my sincere thanks and best wishes.

Yours,

Peter Wang

Dear President

I’m a second year student of your university writing to tell you about my

humble opinions of the learning environment in our school.

Although we’re enjoying the modernized buildings equipped with advanced

computers sufficient lights and well-installed desks and chairs we do find it

hard for us to concentrate on study when we’re in the classrooms. For one thing

the annoying noise made by the vans and cars disturbs our studies. For another

the classrooms which are supposed to be used for self-study are unavailable for

they are usually occupied for meetings by various kinds of associations.

Faced with such a hard nut we should find ways to crack it. I suggest that

our school should construct some special lanes for the traffic and provide

associations with specific rooms to have their meetings in order to provide a

better learning environment for us.

I appreciate your sincere consideration of my suggestions and hope that our

school will be ideal for academic studies.

Yours sincerely

Today is Saturday. I was so happy that my grandparents would come to visit

us, because they haven’t seen us for a long time, so they carried some local

food. I was so excited to eat my grandma’s food. She always knew my favorite

food. We talked happily and I enjoyed the happy moment.

Recently, the news reported a small boy was studying while he helped his

mother to sell the products. Many people gave him great praise, because he could

focus his attention, but their children always wanted to play. This boy is such

strong that he must make a difference in the future. His mother is so lucky to

have a boy like him.

Dear Tom,

Where There is Life, There is Music

What is music, no one can explain.

Just imagine for a moment that you are sitting in a magnificent concert

hall. The conductor waves his shiny baton with a graceful swing through the air.

A beautiful melody floats slowly around you

You sit quietly with your eyes shut, your heart open. The delicate vibratos

of the violins carry you to a mood of heavenly bliss. An airy solo of the flute

draws you to the imagination, the notes flow like some jumping swallows dancing

and singing calling for the coming of Spring.

I like music from my childhood. My father often says when I was a baby I

would never go to sleep without soft, beautiful lullabies crooning around my

ears . Now music is a part of my life. When I feel tired, disappointed or in low

spirits, I usually turn to music. Music, nothing but only music can have so

wonderful an effect on my heart, on my pond of feeling.

Music comes with us. Where there is life, there is music. Where there is

music, there is hope. It lies in everyday life, in everyone’s life, in

everything we see, in everything we hear-- in the rhythm of the sea, in the

whisper of a gentle wind, in the melody of a bird’s singing, in the harmony of

village chimes. You can hear music wherever you may go . A man who doesn’t know

music will lose half the world. A nation that pays little or no attention to

music will be a sad nation. A world without music would be the one for the dead

and devils.

So dear friends, let’s open our arms to embrace music and enjoy it

throughout our lives. Love music and love life.

Thank you.

哪里有生活，哪里就有音乐

音乐是什么，无人能解释清楚。

想象此刻你正坐在富丽堂皇的音乐大厅里，乐队指挥手中的闪闪发亮的指挥棒在空中优雅的舞动。悠扬悦耳的音调飘扬在你的周围。

静静地闭上双眼，敞开心扉。小提琴精妙的振颤会把你带入到天堂祈福的心境;大提琴微弱低沉的叹息会使你想起一位老人在风中散步，沉浸在童年时代宁静和挚爱的回忆中;长笛轻快的独奏使你从想象中猛醒;流畅的音符像一群飞舞歌唱的燕子在呼唤春天的来临。

从童年时代音乐就是我的挚爱。父亲经常说，我在襁褓中，没有温柔甜美的摇篮曲在耳边低吟，就难以入眠。现在音乐是我生活的一部分。每当我感到疲倦，失望或情绪不振时，我就求助于音乐。音乐，除了音乐，没有什么对我的身心和情感有如此奇妙的影响。

音乐与我们同在，哪里有生活，哪里就有音乐;哪里有音乐，哪里就有希望。它存在于每个人的日常生活，存在于我们耳闻目睹的一切事物之中;存在于海的波涛，清风细语，悦耳鸟鸣，和谐的乡村钟声之中;无论你身在何处，都会听到音乐。一个不了解音乐的人将失去半个世界。一个不重视音乐的民族将是一个悲哀的民族。一个没有音乐的世界将是逝者和恶人生存的世界。

亲爱的朋友，让我们伸开双臂去拥抱音乐，在人生中享受音乐的乐趣。热爱音乐，热爱生活。

谢谢大家。

Today, when I walk on the street, I find the street is so beautiful. There

is some lovely pictures on the sidewalk, the picture of giraffe, panda and

monkey. When people see these lovely animals, they feel so good. I think it is

such a nice act to paint these pictures on the street, it makes this city look

beautiful.

Dear Sir,

I am a graduate in 2012, graduating from Southwestern University of Finance and Economics. I was noticed your company is looking for a CFO and I am writing to candidate for this position. I was major in financial management in college and minor in Business. I studied very hard in school and I was perfect in my courses. I ranked top three in my college. Moreover, I took part-time jobs in summer holidays and I had an internship in a company before, which brought me great practical experience. I know your company aims to internationalization and I am sure what I learned in school would help me to be qualified to this position. The following is my resume in details that will help you to know me better. I’m looking forward to your positive reply. And Best wishes for you and your company.

Sincerely yours,

Christ

Here is a small zoo. I like the tiger, although they are very ugly, but

very imposing. Also has the national treasure panda, they are a little shy, does

not dare to look at us. Who are those? they are elephants, you look at they to

be huge, also has a point to be interesting. I do not like the lion, they

compare the tiger clown, is also unimposing.

This is the small zoo.

When you look back on yourself in the past – 10, 20, 30 or more years ago – it’s surprising to see how much you have changed over time. Your experiences, your friends, your family and your work have all shaped who you are right now. But where will you be in another few years? How will you have changed? Reflective writing in your journal is an excellent way to think about what you want out of the future.

当你10年、20年或更多年后回顾过去时，你会吃惊地发现，随着时光的流逝，你也发生了很大的变化。你的经历、朋友、家庭和工作造就了现在的你。但是再过几年你会在哪里呢?你会如何变化呢?这样反思性的写作，会是思考未来你想要什么的一种好的方式。

You may have already written a letter to your younger self before, conveying all the wisdom and perspective you wish you had had at the time. Now consider the opposite end of the spectrum; what would you say if you wrote your future self a letter?

你也许以前试过给过去的自己写信，向年轻时的自己传授一些人生的智慧和观点，你希望那时候的自己就能知道这些。现在我们换个角度看问题，如果让你给未来的自己写封信，你会写点什么?

Just imagine writing a letter to your future self 5 years from now, then opening it at that exact moment 5 years down the road to see how much of it resonated with you. It is a useful supplementary tool to be used in goal achievement, because when you write the letter to your future self, it helps crystallize exactly how you anticipate yourself to become at that specific moment down the road.

想象一下，给5年后的自己写一封信，当5年后你打开那封信时，你会产生多少共鸣。这是实现目标的一种有用的辅助工具，因为当你给未来的自己写信时，你会慢慢理清希望自己在人生旅途的那个特定时刻变成什么样子。

As you read the letter in the future, you can assess how many things match up (or not) vs. your expectations in the past and think about why that’s the case. Often times, the goals we set and our goal achievement process are subjected to a lot of changes along the way, due to varying obstacles, unanticipated circumstances and changing priorities. The letter gives you a macro-view of your initial vision and lets you recognize how your current vision differs from the past.

当你在未来读这封信时，你可以看看有多少事情是像你过去期望的那样，你也会思考为什么会这样。很多时候，我们设定目标在实现的过程中会受到沿途中各种因素的影响，因为会遇到各种各样的困难、各种意外情况并需要不断调整优先级。这封信能让你从宏观的角度上去看自己最初的愿景，让你意识到自己现在的想法和过去相比有多么不同。

When you open the letter in the future, you as your future self gets to compare how you used to be in the past and compare with how you are currently. This lets you see in totality how much things have changed since then – and this can be a really intriguingexperience. It’s interesting to just see how much you have grown/changed since you wrote the letter.

当你以后看信时，你会把过去的自己和现在的自己进行比较。这会让你看清从写信时起你发生了哪些变化，这种体验是非常有趣的。光看看从你写信开始发生了哪些变化就很有趣了。
