圣诞老爷爷：

您好!

我是个非常爱读书的四年级孩子，圣诞节来临，所以我这次想要的礼物：一堆厚厚的书。

我是个聪明的、会读书的小孩，成绩一直在班上前十名，书是我最好的朋友。记得有一次，我订的《第二课堂》没有认真仔细看，妈妈问我内容，一问三不知。就为了那一次，妈妈让我保证：以后凡是买了书，就一定要认真看完，不然从此以后都不买书，直到看完为止。于是，我每次都认真的看，还把内容讲给妈妈听。现在，我看完的书已经是一座小山了，妈妈准备扔时，我却想起一件事：“这书还这么好，我们可以捐给贫困山区呀!”果然不出我所料，这一年里，我们开展了捐书活动，我毫不犹豫地捐了5本!

圣诞老爷爷，对于我这么一个爱书的小朋友，您可以送我书吗?我一定会认真看的。谢谢您!

祝健康长寿!

求职信通常分为几种类型，包括索取公司应聘申请表及详细资料的不带的求职信，附简历的应征求职信，试探性的求职信等等。 那么，英文有哪些呢？

递交求职信的目的是用求职信来吸引阅读者，而不是一种形式或习惯。打开装有求职信的信封，首先看到的就是求职信，它是表现应聘者个性的工具，想象一下，如果对方看到的是连折叠都不齐整的信纸，还有好心情看下去吗？而结构松散的信会让人觉得写信者条理不清晰。语法拼写或标点的错误太多，则会让人觉得此人办事容易出错，对工作不负责任，公司是不会聘用这样的人的。通常一封求职信的阅读时间是30秒，在这30秒内能体现的实际上是你的风格。而每一个公司都喜欢聘用专业作风很强的有能力的员工。

在招聘广告中，常要求有意申请者可致电或致函索取公司的申请表格。索取这类申请表格的求职信一般都比较简短，格式参照范例。 得到申请表格后，仔细填写后一般与简历一起交给公司。申请表格的填写。

附简历的应征求职信具有向招聘者说明简历和具体求职内容的作用。简历中你已经将自己的职业经历或教育情况列表说明了，在求职信里就应着重表达自己的意见。在求职信里要简短地对简历中提到的与应聘职位有关的职业经历和技能加以说明。但是，只是简单的重复简历里的内容是不够的。要把简历里没有的内容充分添加进去，显示出与其他应聘者的差别。你需要表达的观点是：渴望、确信、真诚（I am keen, I am clear and I am sincere)。在第一段里，陈述你渴望得到这个空缺职位，第二段说明你已了解这项工作和公司的要求，说明你为什么认为你符合它们的招聘条件。第三段讲清你本人希望在何时面试，何时可以上班。第四段采用能使公司相信你对这项工作真正有兴趣的语句结束这封信。

典型的求职信格式是：你的地址写在信纸的右上方，地址下面是写信日期。信纸左上角要写上接受你求职信的人的姓名和尊称其下面是该公司的名称和地址。再下面就是招聘广告中给出的其他相关代码。

试探性的求职信是你主动发给你感兴趣的公司的，这类希望渺茫的却经常能出人意料的取得成功，因为这种申请求职的方法表现出了申请人本身的能力、勇气和激情。

试探性求职申请信应该简洁，讲清楚你对该公司感兴趣的原因，写明你具备的资格以及你认为会引起该公司注意的任何品德。邮寄申请信时，要把也一起寄去。你还需要知道公司里人事经理或部门经理的名字，把直接信寄给他会更有效一些。

可能在很长的一段时间里，你收不到任何回音，那么可以断定该公司目前没有你申请的空缺职位。

Dear Tom，

How is it going these days? I keep wondering how you feel about your school

life in Beijing. Have you got used to the life in China? Are you enjoying your

life? I hope you are.

Let me tell you a piece of good news: I’m going to take part in an English

speech contest of middle school students in July in the coming summer vacation.

So I’m busy preparing for it. But now I have some difficulty in collecting

useful information and using proper English word to express my thoughts.

Besides, I really want to improve my spoken English, especially the

pronunciation and intonation(语调). Of course, as a native English speaker, you

can give me some suggestions.

In addition, I’m going to visit you after the contest. I’m sure we will

have a wonderful time together in Beijing! I can hardly wait to see you! I am

looking forward to your early reply.

Yours,

Li Hua

The screen of my fathers mobile telephone is broken。 When you open the

mobile telephone， the screen is always white with light。 You cant see from the

screen。 And my father is a businessman。 He needed a new one。 So my father and I

went to the electrical appliance shop。 There are many new kinds of mobile

telephones。 At first， my father chose a Sumsung one。 But all the telephones have

sold out。 Finally， my father chose a Motorola one。

Dear owners

Happy Spring Festival!

In the twinkling of an eye, 2017 has gone quietly, and the steed of 2018

has stepped forward. All the past is memories, and the future is beautiful!

Throughout 2017, yianju foremen club has contacted thousands of owners

with decoration needs, constantly participating in and listening to your

decoration stories. Maybe some of our owners did not reach an agreement in a

short period of time, so they withdrew from your decoration stage. However, this

does not hinder yianju from sending you warm wishes for the new year and

keeping the same new house as you Happy mood; more owners have completed the

decoration tour of your home with the efforts of the eXcellent foremen of yianju

foremen club and the witness of yianju staff, which certainly contains

heartache, anger, joy and eXcitement. Of course, it is inseparable from your

hard work. Do you remember that our company staff asked the boss for leave to

facilitate you to go out and buy building materials? Do you still remember that

while you were out on business, you secretly went to the new house to "inspect"

the workers construction? Do you still remember that you were fined a days

salary because you didnt choose a suitable living room lamp for a whole

afternoon? Do you remember the quality problems and construction delay caused by

the workers disobedience and in accordance with his so-called "eXperience"? How

angry and mad you are! Ha ha, its all over. It doesnt matter. Whats important

is that your new residence has become better and better in various coordination

and communication, and has become the same as you imagine. All kinds of

happiness and unhappiness in the past 2-3 months have become memories, an

irreplaceable memory. In the future life, in which details, you will more or

less think of these eXperiences Will smile gently.

With your strong support, yianju foreman club has gradually completed the

transformation from ordinary decoration company to foreman club mode, adapting

to the home decoration mode of low gross profit and high output. While

maintaining good construction quality, it really gives the profit to the owner

and the foreman.

In this year, we also encountered the refusal to pay labor fees by

unscrupulous customers, many customers were "unconditionally" deleted in the

public comments, and malicious competition from peers... But fortunately, we

still have your support, so we have not stopped moving forward, which is better

than the special inspection mechanism of other companies, the proXimity

principle of convenient site management, and the home insurance given to

customers ... all this will only make us go better and farther! Because,

everything has you!

In the new year of 2018, the development principle of easygoing is still to

make profits, so as to benefit the decoration owners and the construction

foreman; to carry out practical decoration, it is really developing!

On the eve of Chinese traditional New Years Eve and Spring Festival, all

the staff and foremen of yianju foremens Club wish you and your family a happy

New Year! Happy family! Everything goes well!

Do you mind being called a bad student? Of course not. So far as I know,

everybody intends to be (become) a model student.

However, to be a model student is by no means an easy thing. First, he must

do his best to obtain knowledge. A man without sufficient knowledge will not

succeed. Secondly, he must remember to improve his health. Only a strong man can

do great tasks. Thirdly, he should receive moral education. If his conduct is

not good, no one will consider making friends with him.

I like to surf the internet， fix puters， use smart phones and take photoes。

And I found my hobbies were popular with people around me。 If my co-workers have

trouble with puter or smart phone， they will ask me to help。 When I go out for a

trip， I will take many photoes for others。 Today I helped my friends nephew

install QQ messenger on his iphone4 and access to the internet through

Wi-fi。

I like to study， not to play Majiang。

厦门是个美丽的海滨城市，也被称为“鹭岛”。今年暑假，我们一家四口去了厦门游玩。

此次旅行，我们去了美丽的白城沙滩，白城沙滩的沙子很细腻，踩起来很松软；我们还去了风景如画，名副其实的5A景区——鼓浪屿，在那里我们品尝到了各种各样的美食。不过，最让我难忘的时光是——“坐帆船出海”。

我们穿上了救生衣，在船长的带领下，出海远航了。海风吹拂，海浪激荡，一叶扁舟在大海中乘风破浪。远处蓝天、白云、碧海交相辉映，让人陶醉其中。最令人兴奋的是，我们可以脱掉鞋子，坐在船沿，将脚浸入这清凉无比的海水中，感受海水带给我们的曼妙乐趣！突然，我看见一个银白色的动物以“迅雷不及掩耳之势”跳上跳下，接着又在水里缓慢而自由地游来游去，我定睛一看，眼前的一幕让我既惊喜，又兴奋：原来是一只白豚……

这次厦门之旅我永远不会忘记！

暑假，爸爸妈妈带我去旅行，经过十几个小时的长途跋涉，终于在晚上七点到达这次旅行的目的地——厦门。

厦门大学是我们这次厦门行的第一站。

早就听说厦门大学是全国最漂亮的学府，今日一见，果然名不虚传啊!一进校门，首先映入眼帘的是两排整整齐齐的椰子树，笔直的耸立在那碧绿的草坪上，草坪左右两旁都是各种各样十分美丽的教学楼，还有图书馆，鲁迅纪念馆等等，真是太美了!最让人惊讶的是，学校的池塘里竟然还有优雅的黑天鹅，觉得像是在做梦一样!

一会儿中午到了，我们在芙蓉餐厅吃的中饭，吃完饭在楼梯上发现下面还有小池塘，里面有一群红鲤鱼，从上往下看，就像不会被扑灭的火，我兴奋极了，飞快地跑去看红鲤鱼。

学校的中心是一个大广场。

“你们有没有时间来参加我们的活动?”一位大哥哥笑着对我们说。

“什么活动?”妈妈问。

“我们是化学系的学生，这是我们校园里的科普活动”大哥哥一边说，一边把一张卡片递给妈妈。

“走，去看看”妈妈拉着我兴奋地向广场跑去。

人真多，都是来参加活动的，那里一共有八个项目，每参加一个项目，可以得到一个印章。集满八个印章，就可以DIY自己喜欢的小礼物。我在爸爸妈妈的帮助下，终于集满了印章，做了我特别喜欢的手工皂，化学实验，还有神奇的卡片，它是用彩铅在一张特殊的纸上画上自己喜爱的图案，然后用高达一千度的“吹风机”加热卡片，卡片慢慢变小变硬，形成一个饰品卡。真的太神奇了，最后大哥哥大姐姐们还送了我一个他们学校的徽章，上面印着厦门大学，真是太有纪念意义了。

通过这些游戏我知道了，化学原来这么有趣，化学实验里各种各样大大小小的烧杯特别神奇，妈妈说现在学好数学，以后就会觉得这些实验更加有趣，我似懂非懂地点点头。

最后我们去了芙蓉隧道，那里有很多漂亮的涂鸦，我们拍了很多很多照片，因为时间关系，我们依依不舍地离开了厦门大学。

我的大学生体验之旅结束了，我一定要努力学习，争取考上这么美的大学!

Dear Mr. Clark:

James and I are looking forward with great pleasure to seeing you and Mrs.Clark. We do hope you can come.

Sincerely yours,

My father, Winston Churchill, began his love affair with painting in his 40s, amid disastrous circumstances. As First Lord of the Admiralty in 1915, he was deeply involved in a campaign in the Dardanelles that could have shortened the course of a bloody world war. But when the mission failed, with great loss of life, Churchill paid the price, both publicly and privately. He was removed from the admiralty and effectively sidelined.

Overwhelmed by the catastrophe — “I thought he would die of grief,” said his wife, Clementine —he retired with his family to Hoe Farm, a country retreat in Surrey. There, as Churchill later recalled, “The muse of painting came to my rescue!”

Wandering in the garden one day, he chanced upon his sister-in-law sketching with watercolors. He watched her for a few minutes, then borrowed her brush and tried his hand. The muse had cast her spell!

Churchill soon decided to experiment with oils. Delighted with this distraction from his dark broodings, Clementine rushed off to buy whatever paints she could find.

For Churchill, however, the next step seemed difficult as he contemplated with unaccustomed nervousness the blameless whiteness of a new canvas. He started with the sky and later described how “very gingerly I mixed a little blue paint on the palette, and then with infinite precaution made a mark about as big as a bean upon the affronted snow-white shield. At that moment the sound of a motor car was heard in the drive. From this chariot stepped the gifted wife of Sir John Lavery .”

“ ‘Painting!’ she declared. ‘But what are you hesitating about? Let me have the brush — the big one.’ Splash into the turpentine, wallop into the blue and the white, frantic flourish on the palette, and then several fierce strokes and slashes of blue on the absolutely cowering canvas.”

At that time, John Lavery— a Churchill neighbor and celebrated painter— was tutoring Churchill in his art. Later, Lavery said of his unusual pupil: “Had he chosen painting instead of statesmanship, I believe he would have been a great master with the brush.”

In painting, Churchill had discovered a companion with whom he was to walk for the greater part of the years that remained to him. After the war, painting would offer deep solace when, in 1921, the death of the mother was followed two months later by the loss of his and Clementine’s beloved three-year-old daughter, Marigold. Battered by grief, Winston took refuge at the home of friends in Scotland, finding comfort in his painting. He wrote to Clementine: “I went out and painted a beautiful river in the afternoon light with crimson and golden hills in the background. Alas I keep feeling the hurt of the Duckadilly (Marigold’s pet name).”

Historians have called the decade after 1929, when the Conservative government fell and Winston was out of office, his wilderness years. Politically he may have been wandering in barren places, a lonely fighter trying to awaken Britain to the menace of Hitler, but artistically that wilderness bore abundant fruit. During these years he often painted in the South of France. Of the 500-odd canvases extant, roughly 250 date from 1930 to 1939.

Painting remained a joy to Churchill to the end of his life. “Happy are the painters,” he had written in his book Painting as a Pastime, “ for they shall not be lonely. Light and color, peace and hope, will keep them company to the end of the day.” And so it was for my father.

我的父亲，温斯顿·丘吉尔，在他四十多岁时开始迷恋上绘画，当时环境异常恶劣。那是在1915年，任海军大臣的他，积极投身于在达达尼尔海峡的一场战役中，这场战役本可以缩短那段血雨腥风的世界大战。但由于遭受失败，伤亡惨重，丘吉尔于公于私都付出了代价。他被从海军部调离且实则坐起了冷板凳。

在灾难的折磨下——他的妻子克莱门廷说：“我想他会痛苦而死，”——他携家带口来到萨利郡的一处乡间静居霍·华姆。在那儿，丘吉尔后来回忆道，“是绘画中的冥思拯救了我！”

一天他在花园散步时，偶然看到他的弟媳在用水彩作画。他观察了几分钟，然后向她借了画笔并一试身手。他的专注仿佛给他施了魔法！

丘吉尔很快就决定试试去画油画。看到他从阴暗的忧郁思中解脱出来，克莱门廷非常开心，她赶忙去买所有能买到的颜料。

然而，迈出下一步似乎有些困难，因为丘吉尔看到一块新画布的洁白无暇时感到无所适从和为难。他先从天空画起，后来他描述如何“非常谨慎地在调色板上加入一点儿蓝色调，然后以万分的小心，在这块被蓄意冒犯的雪白的防护板上点上豌豆大的一笔。这时，传来一阵驾驶机动车的马达声。约翰·拉威利先生才华出众的太太从这辆车中姗然而下。

“‘在画画呀！’她高声说着。‘可你还在犹豫什么呢？给我那支笔——那支头号的。’只见松油飞溅，她在蓝白颜料间挥毫泼墨，在调色板上龙飞凤舞，接着在吓得发皱的油画布上用力东戳西捣几下蓝色。”

那时，约翰·拉威利——丘吉尔的邻居，也是一位有名的画家—正教丘吉尔学画。后来提及他的这位特殊的学生，拉威利说：“倘若他选择绘画而不是从政，我相信他会是位绘画大师的。”

在绘画中，丘吉尔找到了能陪他度过余生大部分时光的知已。战后，在1921年，母亲刚去世两个月，他和克莱门廷就失去了他们深爱着的三岁女儿玛丽戈尔德，这时作画给了他一些安慰。在痛苦的打击下，温斯顿来到苏格兰朋友们的家中以求得安慰，用绘画来解脱自己。他在给克莱门廷的信中说：“我出外画了一条夕阳下美丽的溪流，背后映衬着晚霞的群山。唉，达克迪莉（玛丽戈尔德的昵称）使我的苦痛总是挥之不去。

史学家把1929年后的十年，也就是保守党政府垮台而温斯顿下台的时间，称为他的荒凉岁月。政治上，他一直在举步维艰的处境中徘徊，是一个孤独的勇士在努力唤起受到希特勒威胁的国人，但在艺术上他在那荒凉岁月却硕果累累。这些年他经常在法国南部作画。在现存的500多张油画中，大约250张是1930至1939年间的作品。

绘画给丘吉尔带来了乐趣直到他的人生尽头。在他所著的《画中的消遣》里说：“画家其乐融融，因为他们不会孤独。光与色，和平与希望，会始终伴随他们。”我父亲就是这样一个人。

厦门真是个靓丽的海滨城市啊！来厦门玩过的游客们都会竖起大拇指称赞。厦门靓丽的风景很多，比如名胜古迹鼓浪屿，风景优美的白鹭洲等，不仅如此，厦门的佳肴更是不少。除此之外厦门还享有“文明城市”的称号。

厦门的鼓浪屿真是游客们旅游的好地方啊！那儿的风景美，小吃多，还有一片金色的沙滩。海面上波光粼粼，好像撒了无数颗珍珠在海里似的，亮得让人睁不开眼。沙滩上人山人海，有的在堆沙堡，有的在柔软的沙子上散步，有的在玩耍，那里的沙子细细的，软软的，走在上面，那感觉真叫人舒服。瞧，那两个小女孩在沙滩上你追我赶，玩得多开心啊。游客们每个玩得都笑逐颜开，对靓丽的鼓浪屿更是赞叹不已。

厦门不仅风景美，佳肴更是美味得让人赞不绝口。鼓浪屿的馅饼很有特点，那儿的馅饼吃起来外皮很酥，口感很好，很受欢迎。还有韭菜盒，韭菜盒是厦门、闽南和台湾民间的传统佳点。厦门的韭菜盒早以颇负盛名。制作成的韭菜盒是螺旋状，表皮层层酥脆，内馅鲜美，吃起来香脆可口。还有薄饼，薄饼又称春饼。它的皮薄而柔韧，鲜美可口，油而不腻。每逢佳节，许多地方都有吃薄饼的习俗。如果把卷好的薄饼油炸就会成为“炸春卷”，吃起来更是另有一番味道。

厦门啊，你真是一个靓丽的好地方！

今天上午，我早早就起床啦！因为我们决定要去鼓浪屿。

我们到了轮渡码头，哇——！那里真是人山人海呀，我们排了好长的队伍才到了鼓浪屿。一到鼓浪屿才知道原来这里是一个小岛。

岛上的风景很美，有好多奇形怪状的树，有的树根还生在石逢里。最好笑的就是不要脸树，听导游介绍这是桉树，没有树皮的，很特别。还有好多不知名的果子呢！我们走了好长的路，一路上看到了好多的古老建筑物，有外国的领事馆等。我们边走边玩又到了海边，我兴奋不已，想：“我们终于可以游泳啦！”可是，我仔细一看旁边有一块牌上面写着禁止游泳，我好失望哦，又继续赶路。

我们玩了整整一个上午，还买了好多东西。我们带着疲惫的身体，依依不舍的离开了鼓浪屿。

鼓浪屿你真的很美，还让我知道了好多东西，我爱你！

随着科技越来越发达，人们的生活水平也逐渐提高，通信、交通……都更加便捷了。

我的家乡厦门也是如此。近四十年改革开放，厦门的交通是越来越好。厦门是个文明城市被誉为“海上花园”一年四季如春，春天百花争艳，夏天枝繁叶茂，秋天花果飘香，冬天艳阳高照。再加上鼓浪屿也是举世闻名的景点，来厦门旅游的人们越来越多，交通经常发生拥堵，因此厦门需要建设更高级的交通工具——地铁、BRT来缓解交通拥堵的现状。

首先，厦门BRT在2008年9月1日建成并投入使用，直到现在已经开通了快一、快二、快三、快五、快六五条线路。现在乘坐BRT已成为人们上班时绿色出行的首选的交通方式了。

其次，厦门还建设了地铁。关于地铁我们的班主任还给我们讲了一个故事。故事是这么说的：一个地理老师跟他的学生说：“厦门不可能建设地铁！”结果现在厦门真的建地铁了。毕业几年后，一次师生聚会，那群学生就合伙找地理老师“算账”，地理老师说：“我真没想过厦门会建设地铁，因为厦门是个海岛，地质松软，已经建了立交桥，再建地铁是不可能的！现代的科学技术太发达了，真是太先进了！”

厦门在2017年建成并投入使用了一条地铁线路——一号线，还有3条地铁线路正在建设，分别是二号线、三号线、四号线。预计二号线在2019年底通车，三号线和四号线在2020年底通车。

未来厦门市政府还将建设更多条地铁线路来改善人们的出行条件，促进厦门的经济发展，祝愿我们的厦门越来越发达，成为现代化的大都市。

New Year starts with the New Moon on the first day of the new year and ends on the full moon 15 days later. The 15th day of the new year is called the Lantern Festival, which is celebrated at night with lantern displays and children carrying lanterns in a parade.

The Chinese calendar is based on a combination of lunar and solar movements. The lunar cycle is about 29.5 days. In order to "catch up" with the solar calendar the Chinese an extra month once every few years. This is the same as adding an extra day on leap year. This is why, according to the solar calendar, the Chinese New Year falls on a different date each year.

New Years Eve and New Years Day are celebrated as a family affair, a time of reunion and thanksgiving. The celebration was traditionally highlighted with a religious ceremony given in honor of Heaven and Earth, the gods of the household and the family ancestors.

The sacrifice to the ancestors, the most vital of all the rituals, united the living members with those who had passed away. Departed relatives are remembered with great respect because they were responsible for laying the foundations for the fortune and glory of the family.

The presence of the ancestors is acknowledged on New Years Eve with a dinner arranged for them at the family banquet table. The spirits of the ancestors, together with the living, celebrate the onset of the New Year as one great community. The communal feast called "surrounding the stove". It symbolizes family unity and honors the past and present generations

厦门，人人都知道那里是一个好地方。今年寒假，我从宁波出发，大约乘了五、六个小时的动车，到厦门游玩。

第一天，我们到厦门时已经是晚上了，所以只能到宾馆睡觉喽！一个自然觉醒来，奔赴第一个目的地——鼓浪屿。到了乘船去鼓浪屿的地方，我顿时惊呆了，黑压压的一片，全是排队的人，真是连个落脚的地方也没有。我们足足站了一个半小时才上了渡船，我感觉我的脚已经不是自己的了。

一踏上岸，所有的劳累都烟消云散了，一下子被这里的风景吸引住了。鼓浪屿的面积大约1·87平方公里，大约住着两万多人。在鼓浪屿上，我看不到汽车、自行车，人们都是步行的，这样既环保又能运动，真是一举两得啊！岛上见得最多的是榕树，那高高的榕树真像一位年长的智者，长满了长长的胡须，正在思考什么问题呀？岛上的中外风格的建筑基本保留完好，我们不出国也能感受外国的建筑特点，是不是不错呀？

鼓浪屿上主要的观光景点还有日光岩、鼓浪石、博物馆等，那其中的美只有你自己亲身经历才能体会到，那么，一起来吧！

第二天早上，我们乘坐旅游车去游览永定土楼。途中，我发现了道路两旁都是香焦树群和三年才结一果的美人焦，还有桂圆树。当旅游车在盘山公路上开时，我看到了形态各异的土楼，我迫不及待地想：“什么时候才能看到土楼王呢？这车子开得太慢了，快点！快点！再快点！”谁知过了好长时间才到永定土楼。

一进去我就看见了永定土楼是国家五A级景区，也是世界文化遗产地。听讲解员说永定土楼历史悠久、种类繁多、规模宏大、结构奇巧、功能奇全、内涵丰富著称。被誉为“东方古城堡、世界建筑奇葩、世界上独一无二的、神话般的山区建筑模式“。我浏览了承启楼和土楼王，知道了承启楼的别名叫博士楼，从此楼中走出了十多位博士。土楼王是姓江的家庭祖先建筑的。距今有五百多年的历史，一共有四百多间房，分为四层，共有三道门，具有很好的采光通风、防火、防盗、抗震和冬暖夏凉的功能。我还爬到观景台上看土楼，我发现，从上往下看土楼像一朵朵鲜花，从下往上看时又像从地下冒出来的大蘑菇····

回去的时候，我妈妈给我买了一个“四菜一汤“的模型呢!

今天的计划是去鼓浪屿游玩，我们先乘25路到码头，摆渡去鼓浪屿。到啦岛上，我们先买啦张联票，可以游玩5个景点。（日光岩、菽庄花园、皓月园、百鸟园、钢琴博物馆）我们先去钢琴博物馆，爬啦好久山路，真可谓好景在险峰啊！在博物馆里，我看见啦最大的和最小的管风琴。最大的高达6米多，最小的连半米都不到。

接着我们来到啦百鸟园，它和日光岩很近，用缆车相互连接，我们先去参观百鸟园，刚走进园内，一只亭亭玉立的孔雀就印入我的眼帘。还看见啦丹顶鹤、白鹭、海鸥、鸽子、鹦鹉、麻雀，甚至还看见啦一对天鹅。这儿简直就是鸟儿们的世界，造得像个原始森林。飞流直下的瀑布、高耸入云的大树，美极啦。

我们还看啦鸟儿的表演，有鹦鹉学舌，鸟儿跳迪斯科，以及鸟儿走钢丝，鹦鹉做算术等。最后一个精彩节目是鸟儿衔纸币。只要你用手拿着一张纸币，鸟儿就会飞过来叼走，不过你就不能拿回你的钱啦哦。走出百鸟园，我们乘上啦缆车。那缆车真吓人，是全自动的，你要跑上缆车，它可是不停的哟！来到日光岩，还得再往上爬。妈妈她们累得不行啦，所以我遥遥领先，第一个到达日光岩顶峰。站在这儿，可以看见鼓浪屿的全景，风也很大，总担心大风会把我吹下去。

下啦日光岩，我们赶紧在海滨浴场旁的餐馆解啦馋，吃得都是海鲜，味道好极啦。用餐完毕，我们又沿着海边走啦20分钟，来到啦菽庄花园。这里展示的全是古色古香的古代用品，我对几块大石头比较感兴趣，我说是凳子，妈妈说是桌子，后来，一位小姐告诉我这是古代的装饰品，不能坐的。 嘻嘻……献丑啦。最后我们回到码头，结束啦今天的鼓浪屿之旅。

因为时间还早，所以又去中山路逛啦逛，这条中山路相当于我们的淮海路。晚上我们在酒店旁的沃尔玛吃啦些厦门小吃结束啦这一天的疲劳之旅。

Mom:

I have not written to you for at least twelve years. I did not expect to

write to you about such a thing in the third year after your son went to

work.

Have you any idea how I felt after I answered the phone from dad this

evening? I didnt expect that you should be angry with your son for such a thing

and make the whole family uneasy.

I called you last Saturday, you said your cell phone will be out of

service, I said mom, I will give you a few days to pay the phone fee. Although

you said no, I still insist that I will pay for you in a few days. Actually,

this matter son is to have a fault, did not pay mobile phone fee for you

immediately. That morning we just finished invigilating a Chinese exam, there

was no invigilation in the afternoon, so I accompanied your daughter-in-law to

go shopping. True, there were a lot of mobile offices on the road, but I just

didnt stop. Not intentionally, but the son really forgot, really forgot to pay

for you. Maybe because we havent come out for a long time, we havent come out

from the 15th day of the first lunar month to last Saturday, because the weather

is bad, it always rains, and most importantly, we dont have much time. As a

matter of fact, you know your son is busy with his work. Your son is leading the

graduating class for the first time this year. He has two Chinese classes and a

head teacher. Your daughter-in-law is taking two classes in English. The most

important thing is that your daughter-in-law has been pregnant for four months.

You all know that. Because there are only 80 days to go before the college

entrance examination, and our school did not do well in the second simulation

exam, the class your son teaches only scored medium in this exam, the class

teacher and teacher who did poorly in this exam will write a review, and the

principal will personally hold a teacher symposium for your class. Your son is a

young man who just started to work. I think highly of this job. You have also

taught your son to be a success, and your son is working hard in this direction.

Dont I work so hard just to argue for you?

I just mentioned that your daughter-in-law is four months pregnant, so now

she is the key object of protection in our family. In the family where I work,

there are only two of us living and everything in the family is left to me. If I

dont buy food for a day, I have no food for a day. No matter when I come home

at noon every day, I always have to cook at home, and no matter what time I come

home every night, I have to cook dinner. No matter how tired your son is, the

POTS and bowls are always washed by your son. Mom, my son is so tired.

The pressure from work has made my son a little out of breath. Really,

every morning at 6:30 am to the class to guard the students morning reading, I

take Chinese class, Monday on Friday there is also a language morning reading,

also asked to sit in the class, the middle should guard the students on 9:50 to

10:20 small self-study, generally from 6:30 am to work to 11 o clock can go

home from work. Sometimes I have my fourth class and I get home at twelve o

clock sharp. But still silently suffer. After having lunch at noon, my son will

come to the class at about one o clock to watch over the students for their

lunch break. In the afternoon also asked to sit, of course, there are afternoon

classes, the son still have to go.

Sometimes go home after school is 5:35, at six o clock or so will be to

the class to watch the students late practice, and night self-study, night back

home is 11:00 more, mother, son very tired.

Mom, I think very selfishly, I dont want to grow up, because when I was a

child, you will take care of me, I dont have to worry about food and clothing.

I did not expect to grow up so much trouble, so much pressure. Life a lot of

things to me, all the ups and downs to fall on the shoulders of my a person,

mother ah, my favorite mom, son grew up, the son is responsible for the society

and school family give me, but the son, after all, or the son, your son, after

all, only 27 years old, 27 of how I felt as a child, although I have a family,

as the RenFu, soon as parents, but I always so young shoulders pressure big,

mother, son, really very tired very tired.

Mom, your son is a man. How can he tell anyone these words? Even your

daughter-in-law sometimes doesnt feel the pressure of your son. Mother, how I

want to sit down, sit on your side to and you happy talk, son want to let you

listen to not know more, want you also to share the sons a little bit more,

but, son always too busy to go home during the Spring Festival is just eat a

meal, and busy with relatives happy New Year, what time to sit down and talk to

you? Mother, my good mother, your son and you have many times in the dream chat,

your son and you are the most conversable ah, I remember when I was a child in

your side, but I told you everything. Remember the second day, the son of a girl

for you and write a love letter to the photos, your son is told the others write

love letter things to you, later, or you help the idea of rejected this door

"good thing", there are a lot of things son was willing to share with you, oh,

mother, as time goes by slowly, your son is also grew up in slowly. By the

original at your side, then went to college in xinxiang, then went to college in

xinyang, to the present work, gradually away from you, the son of you always not

in your side, although a week is also a two telephone, although every time is 20

minutes of talk time, but you still cant share all your son, gradually, mom,

you have misunderstood your son.

Son really wanted to give you money, but is in this Wednesday, because I

change a day of the examination paper on Sunday, the Sunday afternoon to

supervise, and on Sunday night self-study, that one day, your son at the end of

the volume change is very sick, because 170 Chinese papers, want to change down

in most, it is not easy, on Monday, the time you have two classes in the

morning, the son of, to do morning reading and research meeting to be held in

the afternoon, on Monday night I have night self-study, is four lessons on

Tuesday, Wednesday, when I said go to pay the phone bill for you, but this time

your phone has been through. I called you several times last night to tell you

about this, and finally got your call around eight o clock. I explained a lot

to you at that time, just in case you were angry. I didnt expect that my father

called me tonight and said that you were really angry and furious. Mom, my son

is really sad. I didnt expect you to be like this because of something like

this. After all, I am a piece of your flesh, mother, and you must not

misunderstand your son. Your son, who has always loved you dearly.

I love you, Mom.
