The House of 1000 Mirrors 千镜屋 Long ago in a small, faraway village, there was a place known as the House of 1000 Mirrors. A small, happy little dog learned of this place and decided to visit. 很久以前的一个很远的小村庄里，有一个以"千镜屋"而著名的地方。一个乐观的小狗听说了这个地方并决定去参观。

When he arrived, he hounced happily up the stairs to the doorway of the house. He looked through the doorway with his ears lifted high and his tail wagging as fast as it could. To his great surprise, he found himself staring at 1000 other happy little dogs with their tails wagging just as fast as his. 当来到这个地方，他蹦蹦跳欢恰快的上了台阶，来到房门口，他高高竖起耳朵，欢快地摇着尾巴，从门口口往里张望，他惊奇地看到有1000只欢乐的小狗像他一样快的摇尾巴。

He smiled a great smile, and was answered with 1000 great smiles just as warm and firendly. As he left the House, he thought to himself, "This is a wonderful place. I will come back and visit it often."他灿烂地微笑着，回报他的是1000张热情，友好的灿烂笑脸。离开时他心想："这是一个精彩的地主，我一定要经常来参观。"

In this same village, another little dog, who was not quite as happy as the first one, decided to visit the house. He slowly climbed the stairs and hung his head low as he looked into the door. When he saw the 1000 unfriendly looking dogs staring back at him, he growled at them and was horrified to see 1000 little dogs growling back at him.在这个村里还有另一只想参观"千镜屋"的小狗，他不及第一只小狗乐观，他慢吞吞地爬上台阶，然后耷拉着脑袋往屋子里看。一看到有1000只小狗不友好地盯着他，他便开始冲他们狂吠，镜中的1000只小狗也冲着他狂吠，把他给吓坏了，

As he left, he thought to himself, "That is a horrible place, and I will never go back there again."他在离开时心想："这是一个恐怖的地方，我再也不会来了。"All the faces in the world are mirrors. What kind of reflections do you see in the faces of the people you meet?世界上所有的脸都是镜子，在你所遇见的人的脸上你看到反射出来的是什么?

英文名称是Application letter。它通常分为几种类型，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。

一天上午，爸爸对我说：“xx，你哥哥来信了，叫你今年暑假到厦门度假。”我一听高兴得跳起来。这一天，我一直沉浸在欢乐之中。哥哥那家乡的山山水水，一张张熟悉的笑脸，不时浮现在我眼前。哥哥的来信，不由得使我想起在那里度过的时光。

我现在还清楚的记着村边有一条小河，人们吃水用水全依赖它。河水真清啊，用手轻轻一拨，平静的湖面，溅起的水花白得像棉花，在阳光下，是那样晶莹。河水真甜，喝下去觉得心旷神怡，比吃西瓜还痛快。我和小伙伴来到河边，痴痴地看着它，猜想着：它是从哪里来的，水底有住着龙王吗？若不是大人再三吓唬，说海龙王很凶，下去的人上不来，我可真要跳下找“老龙王”聊天。

河边有一片桃林。每年夏天，可以收很多的桃子。咬它一口，真是又甜有脆。林里人很迷信，奶奶常常说：“小孩子出去不要打蟾蜍，不然会触犯神灵的。”有一回，我和几个小伙伴到村边玩耍。突然一只蛤蟆朝我跳来，把我吓了一跳，当时我忘了奶奶的嘱咐，捡起一块砖头扔去，“噗”的一声，蛤蟆被砸死了。小伙伴可急坏了，便对我说：“糟了，你惹祸了。蛤蟆死后，他的灵魂会叫毒蛇来咬你。”我也害怕了，心里像揣十五只吊桶，忐忑不安。这天晚上，我吃不香睡不好，睡觉用被子把头蒙得严严实实的。奇怪？直到第二天早晨，根本没事。三天过去了，还是毫无声息。我得意的对小伙伴们说：“大蛇怕我，三天不敢出来。”奶奶来了，知道了事情，急忙把我拉回去，狠狠地训斥了我一顿。

想起童年的这些趣事，更加想念在那里的美好时光。

厦门是一座美丽的城，海上花园之城。刚放暑假，爸爸妈妈和我就登上了飞往厦门的航班，开启了我们的厦门之旅。这次旅游妈妈早早就作了详细的攻略，我们按照计划慢慢地游玩。

到厦门的第一天，我们先来到了曾厝垵，这是一个充满文艺与小清新气息的渔村，里面有当地的各种特色小吃，我们逛吃了一会就去了音乐广场，这里有大海，还可以捉到小螃蟹，看！只要有小窟窿的地方都藏着螃蟹呢，我捉了好多，玩得可开心了！我们还去了厦门的园林植物园，这里有上千种植物，其中沙生区和雨林区游客最多，拍照的人络绎不绝。

第二天，我们去了环岛滨海步道，本来爸爸妈妈想租一个三人车带我转一圈，可我一看到大海沙滩就飞奔过去了，是不是每个小孩子都喜欢大海啊？在这里我还认识了一个“清华”的小哥哥，我们俩玩的不亦乐乎。过了一会儿，下起了小雨，我们就去了厦门的科技馆，一共有五大馆，除了儿童馆，还有海洋馆、探索馆、和谐馆、创造馆。我们一边参观体验，爸爸一边给我讲解，玩了一天我还涨了不少知识呢。其中，这里有保存完整、形态各异、逼真的动物标本及各种动物的进化过程。

俗话说：“不到鼓浪屿就不算到厦门。”第三天，我们坐船来到了鼓浪屿。鼓浪屿与厦门隔海相望，岛上四季如春，气候宜人，下船后我们去酒店放下行李，就沿着海边漫步，岛上的树木郁郁葱葱，茂盛极了，有棷子树、棕榈树等，还有一些叫不上名字的，这里还能够看到各种风格迥异的中外建筑，我还发现了跟我头花一样的一种花，太兴奋了，我从地下捡了好多戴在了头上，后来我知道它叫“鸡蛋花”。龙头路还有各种各样的美味小吃，像蛋满灌、龙头鱼丸、海蛎煎、沙茶面等，好吃极了。

我们还参观了厦门大学，据说是全国最美丽的大学，进入校园，映入眼帘的是两旁郁郁葱葱的榕树，校园内的建筑别具特色。芙蓉隧道里还有好多大哥哥大姐姐涂鸦的作品，要是我以后也能来这里读大学，那肯定美极了！出了厦大，我们还逛了南普陀寺，在这里我还给我的姐姐寄了一张明信片呢。

在中山路逛吃逛玩了两天，意犹未尽，我们就恋恋不舍的离开了厦门，爸爸妈妈说以后有机会还会带我来厦门玩！

Yesterday, I took the final exam of this term. I worked hard to prepare for it, but I was still nervous. I was afraid that I couldn’t do it well. I had three exams, Chinese, math and English. In the morning, it was the Chinese. It was not so difficult for me that I was sure I could be good in it. Then, it was math in the afternoon. It’s the part I was afraid of most. Not surprised, I met some troubles in math exam. But I still hope they wouldn’t be serious. I am good at English, so I didn’t worry about it. I knew I can do well in it. In short, the final exam was not so hard for me and I am quite sure the scores will be perfect.

[中学生英文作文：我的快乐周末(My happy weekend)

暑假里，我来到了厦门。这里的天空一望无际，尽是大块大块的白云和碧蓝的天空，这里的空气清新，令人心旷神怡。厦门有很多美丽的地方，其中最令人赏心悦目的是厦门的海。

来到海边，放眼望去，人山人海。整个沙滩上挤满了人，有坐在地上玩沙雕的小朋友，有躺在沙滩椅子上晒太阳的人，有蹲在地上找螃蟹、虾的人，等等。

我走向海边，被一只大螃蟹的大钳子给夹住了，疼得我大叫起来。引得周围的人对我大笑起来。周围的小孩子们急忙跑过来，帮我捉住了那只大螃蟹。我把它拿起来，它凶极了，舞动着大钳子，想要挣脱我的手，我用夹子夹住它的两只钳子，把它放到一个大桶中后，便又回到了海滩中。

浪花在大海中不停地翻腾着，好像在做游戏一样。浪一波接着一波，先是忽高忽低地向前翻腾，快到岸边时，又涨了起来，走了一米又落下去了，最后冲向沙滩。冲向沙滩后，浪就变成了一片水波，向岸上扩散，水波的最前端是一层泡沫，冲了一段距离后便又退了回去，不波接着一波。我坐在沙滩上，一波又一波的水波冲着我的腿，很舒服，就像母亲抚摸着孩子一样。我嫌不刺激，便又往前走了走，走到了海浪最后的落点时坐了下来。一波接着一波的大海浪拍在我的脸上，使我晕头转向。其中的一个大浪竟然把我拍翻在沙滩上，不给我起来的机会，这时又一大波浪拍了过来，拍的我找不着北了!竟然还有人把我拍成视频，发到抖音上去了!唉，要是被其他人看见，不就大事不妙了吗?

退潮了，浪一波比一波小，渐渐退去，越退越远，像个孤独的老人走向远去。

啊!大海，我爱你!厦门，你给我留下了美好的回忆，我真感谢你。

本人从8月14号到8月17号去了厦门市，早上可怜的我在5点不到就被大人拖了起来，原因是晚了就赶不上火车，浪费了火车票。路上我坐在犹如冬天的地铁3号线上。到了虹桥火站就傻了眼——才7点多，要8点才开车。火车站虽宽敞明亮但冰冷无比，让我一下清醒过来。

在结束了漫长的进山洞时会有座飞机起飞的火车后本人从旅馆放下行李就直奔中山路去吃小吃。我先买了碗土笋冻，它里的虫子冻是那么弹可里面的芥末是让我不能多含会，然后又吃了花生汤，厦门市春卷，海蛎煎等。直到晚上9

在第二天我们在鼓浪屿回来后就去了小眼镜吃了海鲜，在排了半个小时吃了海鲜后我们乘车到民族路后徒步走到白城沙滩。夜晚的沙滩上凉风习习。在快到了10点我们就回到了宾馆，准备明天的旅行。点才回旅馆。

上午我们逛完鼓浪屿，就直奔椰风寨海滨浴场。一到那，放眼望去，迷人景色尽收眼底，天空是那么的湛蓝，云朵是那么的洁白，青草是那么的碧绿，沙滩是那么的金黄，虽然骄阳似火，但是，海滩边已是游人如织，一阵阵海风吹来了，给人们带来了丝丝凉意。这时我已换好泳裤在大海里尽情的嬉戏、玩耍，无在我从椰风寨回来后，我们想去吃大同路鸭粥（攻略上说的近中山路）。可我们在绕了几圈也没找到，最后绕到这（见下图)。可在走回宾馆时，在思明南路上找到了一家大同鸭粥，可吃的时后才发现米是蒸熟了再加汤煮的。第二天我早上拉肚子发烧（吃了止泻药又有副作用——吐了），去吃乌糖沙茶面也没胃口。然后去了南普陀寺和厦大。比开心。

Hello, my friends, My name is Cherie. I come from BeiHai, a city of GuangXi

province. Now I want to tell you something about me hometown. BeiHai is a

beautiful city near the sea. There are several places worth visiting.

The most famous place is the Silver Beach. You can take the no.2 bus and

take no.3bus to the Silver Beach. You can get off the bus at the Beach hotel

stop and set the luggage or have s rest at the hotel. Then go back the road

which the bus have come. The beach is not far from the hotel, you can’t miss it.

The seafood is very delicious, you can have some for supper after swimming. The

world under the sea is a fantasy place. When you go into it, you will feel that

you are really under the sea. There are so many kinds of fish swimming around

you.

The most exciting program is “dancing with the shark” .that is some girls

who dress as the fish dive into the water and play.

昨天，我们去厦门旅游了，厦门的景色很美，我都有些留恋忘返了。

厦门有很多美丽的树和花，芒果树、桂圆树、凤凰树等好多树我们这儿都是没有些，我都是第一次看到，其中凤凰树就非常的特别，它不光会开美丽的花，花谢后还会结出长长的豆角。我还发现了一棵很大的榕树，树冠伸展开来遮住了很大一遍地方，枝条下还垂下很多根须，我一走进它的树荫下就有了一种清凉的感觉，果然是不负“独树成林”的美名啊！美丽的花就更是数不胜数了，厦门的市花“三角梅”花辨像三角形，炮仗花就像盛开的焰火，曼陀罗花还可做，真神奇。

厦门的景色虽美，但我更喜爱海边的沙滩，光着脚站在沙滩上，踩在软软的沙子上很舒服，海水冲上来漫过我的小脚，有些冰凉。我还堆了一个大大的“城堡”，捡了很多小贝壳，妈妈帮我捡到了一个十分漂亮的小海锣，白白的、小小的很可爱，我很喜爱，它的样子是独一无二的，不过有贝壳的沙滩脚踩上去就有些痛不那么舒服了。站在沙滩上往远处看，海水蓝蓝的一眼看不到边，海面上有很多大大小小的船在行驶，海水还把一些小海草冲到了岸边，我第一次尝到了咸咸的海水的味道。

厦门真美，我还想再去玩，还想永远住在那儿。

今年春节前，我们全家到厦门去旅游。听说我姐姐也去，我高兴得一蹦三尺高，真想快点见到姐姐。

到厦门后，我们第一天就去了“鼓浪屿”。为什叫做“鼓浪屿”呢？因为那里浪打在沙滩上会发出“咚咚咚”声音，很像鼓发出声音，所以就叫做“鼓浪屿”。“鼓浪屿”是一个海上小岛，绿树环抱、海浪拍岸、海水清澈、景色迷人。这个岛上没有汽车，游人都是步行，所以没有污染。我们爬上了“日光岩”，听说这里是厦门市最高地方。从上往下看，鼓浪屿简直是一片“海上绿洲”。后来，我和姐姐在沙滩上堆城堡，挖陷阱。不过应了那句俗语“自作孽不可活，嘻嘻_______嘻嘻，我掉进了自己挖陷阱。

第二天，我们又去了植物园，这里有非常多珍奇植物。有“大丝葵”，这种树很高，而且两头细中间粗，样子很奇特。还有一棵高大“菩提树”，据说佛祖释加牟尼就是坐在这棵菩提树下。我们还看到了邓小平爷爷种一棵大叶樟树，这棵树长得真茂盛，我们坐在树下乘凉，缅怀改革开放总设计师。

后来，我们还去了“胡里山炮台”。这里炮可多了，听说都是用来抵抗倭寇。其中最大是“克虏伯大炮”。它于1893年制造，口径较大，为280mm；炮重近50吨，全长为13965mm；方向射界为360度；射程为1、6万余米，现存炮弹头为29枚。是世界上最大海岸炮。

厦门是一个美丽城市，也是大陆与宝岛台湾相距最近沿海大城市。我爱厦门，更盼望宝岛台湾早日回归祖国。

Dear Lucy,

I am sorry to hear that you are feeling upset because of some problems met during studying Chinese. You said that you would feel nervous when facing this language and you did bad in listening. You couldnt improve your oral Chinese and you found it difficult to communicate with your classmates in Chinese.Well, dont worry. I will give you some suggestions. Firstly, like English, Chinese is a language,which we learn to communicate. So you need to practice speaking in Chinese as often as possible,which will help to improve your oran Chinese and improve your sense of the language. Secondly, you can listen to Chinese radio program,for this is a very useful way to improve your listening ability. Thirdly, be brave enough to make some Chinese friends.Close friendship will help you learn this language well. And doing some reading will help you learn more. I hope these can help you.

Best wishes!

yours,

Wang Xia

Today is fathers day. Im going to buy a gift for my dad with my pocket

money, so I "kill" the little fat piggy bank.

I walked into the room and said to my father, "dad, I broke something."

Father got angry, blew his beard and stared, and he kicked me in the ass without

saying a word. I was kicked out.

I took my pocket money and didnt go back to the shoe store. At the shoe

store, I said to my bosss shoes, "buy an adults shoes." The boss say: "you are a

child, how can buy adults shoes?" I told my boss it was for my father. The boss

asked me again, "how big is your fathers foot?" I turned my butt up and showed

him the footprints of my father. The boss was surprised at first, but he

immediately responded, laughing and saying, "youve got your size on your

ass."

今天是父亲节。我要拿着零花钱买礼物给爸爸，所以我把存钱的小肥猪“杀”了。

我神秘兮兮地走进房间对爸爸说：“爸爸我不小心打破了东西。”爸爸生气了，吹胡子瞪眼睛的，一句话也没说，就一脚踢到了我的屁股上。我被踢了出去。

我拿着零花钱，头也不回地往鞋店跑去。到了鞋店，我对老板大人的鞋说：“买一双大人的鞋。”老板说：“你是小孩，怎么能买大人的鞋呢?”我告诉老板是给爸爸买的。老板又问我：“你爸爸的脚有多大?”我就把屁股翘起来给老板看爸爸踢的脚印。老板起初很惊讶，但他马上就反应了过来，笑着说：“原来你已经把尺寸画在屁股上了。”

7月22日下午，我和老妈手挽手走进了厦门大学。

迈进厦门大学的大门，就看到一棵棵站得笔直的大树，它们好像一个个绿油油的伞，用茂盛的枝叶装扮着校园。沿着鹅卵石的小路再往前走，就到了大学生的教学楼，一座座大楼高高矗立，伸向蓝天。过了教学楼，就到了厦门大学的操场。啊，真大呀！我从来没见过这么大的操场，这个操场分两边，一边是专门的篮球场，一边是运动场。再往前走就到了学生休闲的地方。一个又圆又大的芙蓉湖，水鸟们在湖上嬉戏，平静的湖面变得生机有趣。湖旁边绿油油的草地上长满了五颜六色的芙蓉花，红的、黄的、白的。。。。。五颜六色，美丽极了！这种花虽然没有百合的婀娜，没有玫瑰的多情，却有种特别的芬芳，这芳香比米兰淡雅，比月季浓郁。

看了厦门大学的简介我知道了，厦门大学是1921年陈嘉庚先生创办的。把"自强不息，止于至善"定为校训。旨在激励厦大师生积极进取、努力开拓、追求至善至美。老妈告诉我，九十年来，一代又一代厦大人在校训的激励下艰苦创业，奋发图强，取得了令人瞩目的成就，赢得了"南方之强"的美誉。

厦门大学，厦门人的骄傲！中国人的骄傲！我要好好学习，走进厦门大学！

Dear Mr. Seaton，

Thank you very much for taking me with you on that splendid outing to London. It was the first time that I had seen the Tower or any of the other famous sights. If Id gone alone, I couldnt have seen nearly as much, because I wouldnt have known my way about.

The weather was splendid on that day, which I thought was rare. I still remember some people told me that in Britain there was weather and no climate. During the same day, it might snow in the morning, rain at noon, shine in the afternoon and be windy before the night falls. So I think I was lucky.

I think the river trip was the best thing of all. London really came alive for me as we saw it from the Thames during that wonderful journey down to Greenwich. It was all tremendously exciting - a day that I shall never forget.

Thank you for giving me such a great birthday treat.

Yours sincerely,

Linda Chen

Dear vv,

Hello!Im really glad to hear from you.I guess you must want to know something about my family.Now,let me tell you.

Im from Hubei Province，China.I,my mother, my father and my brother make up our happy family.My hobbies come from many flavors such as painting and taking photos.I have wanted to be a nice teacher since I was young,because in my eyes,teachers are very holly and kind and they can help many kids with their studies.

I know my English is very poor and I just can speak a little English,so I want to learn English from you,my friend.May we can get along well with each other.

Yours,

I do not know the reason why some people want to get up late。 They will

never have the opportunity to enjoy (of enjoying) the fresh air and calmness of

the morning。 This is indeed a quite regrettable thing。To rise early is a good

habit (which) we should cultivate。 Why? Because the best time when we can pursue

our studies is in the morning。 In addition， early rising is also good to our

health。 I hope that everybody our knows the reason why we must rise early。
