A Day in the Zoo

There has been a long time for my family not to go out for the activity, because my father is busy all the time. But last week, my father finally finished his project, so that he could take a rest for some time. My father advised us to go to the zoo, I was so excited, because I hadn’t seen many animals in my life. In the zoo, there were so many people, it was so lively. I saw the monkey, the giraffe and so on. I saw these animals in the TV usually, but I saw them in front of me that day. The peacock impressed me so much, it looked homely when it laid down the ground, but when it stood up and opened the wings, it was so gorgeous. People said peacock was proud, indeed, it would not please people. I had a good time in the zoo.

对于我的家人来说，我们已经有很长一段时间没有外出活动了，因为爸爸总是很忙。但是上周，我的爸爸终于完成了他的项目，所以他能休息一段时间。爸爸建议我们去动物园，我很兴奋，因为我目前还没有看到过很多动物。在动物园里，有很多人，非常热闹。我看到了猴子，长颈鹿等等。我平常在电视上看到这些动物，但是那天我亲眼看到了。孔雀给我的印象很深刻，在它躺在地上的时候，看起来很普通，但是当它站起来，打开翅膀，是那么的美丽。人们说孔雀是傲慢的，确实，它不会取悦人们。在动物园里我度过了一段美好的时光。

With the increasing use of cell phones, spam message has become a heated problem. According to a survey, on average, people receive about 40 pieces of spam message per month. Spam message can disturb, confuse, or even threaten people at any time.

Generally, there are two tesons for the spam epidemic. On one hand, due to the face that text message is a comparatively cheap channel, many companies take advantage of it to advertise their products or servies. Whether people are willing to receive the message is neglected. On the other hand, those holding lots of imformation on cell phone users sell the information and make money our of it.

To solve the problem of spam message, people should make joint efforts. The government should set up laws to severely punish the illegal advertisers and those who disclose information. Cell phone researchers and developers should upgrade the products and enable them to delete the spam automatically. Should people ace together, they will be free from the spam message.

Many people regard money as the most important thing in their life, but I dont agree with them. There are so many things that money cant buy. The first, money cant buy us knowledge, abilities and experience. The second, money cant buy us a happy mood and a good health.

However, money plays a significant role in our daily life. We cant live without it, because we have to use money to buy our daily necessities, like food, drinks, clothes, books, and so on. And we also need money to pay for our houses and education.

All in all, we should have a correct concept of money. We cant live for money, but take it as a tool leading a better life.

Most westerners always celebrate Christmas Day as their major festival, in

order to memorialize Jesus. During that time, they always have several days off,

so they can enjoy this festival with all their hearts. The children often get

together with their friends. The adults are busy with decorating their houses.

They also send the postcards with their best wishes to each other. In the

streets, there are so many Fathers Christmas sending presents to the passers-by.

And everything is on a discount in the supermarkets. Thus the supermarkets are

the busiest places.

In the evening, the families usually have pudding, sandwiches, apple pies

and some other desserts for dinner. After supper, the families always sing and

dance around the Christmas tree. Sometimes, they also go to church. Before going

to bed, the children often hang up their stockings beside their bed, so that

Father Christmas will fill them with presents. It is said that Father Christmas

always drives a deer to the human world and entering into each house from the

chimney. Now the children no longer believe in Father Christmas, but they still

hang up their stockings, because their parents will fill them with presents.

今天，手机已经成为人们生活的一部分，他们使用手机来和朋友以及家人保持联系，手机对每个人的工作也很有帮助。由于手机是如此的重要，因此人们很依赖手机，我认为我们需要正确对待手机。

Teenagers especially like to use cellphone, they can’t live without cellphone. Take my brother for example. He carries cellphone all the time, no matter what he does. When we are talking to him, he just lows down his head and says yes, I don’t think he is listening to us. When he is walking on the street, he still keeps his eyes on the screen. My brother is a typical cellphone user, I feel pity for him because he misses so many beautiful moment.

青少年特别喜欢使用手机，他们无法离开手机。就拿我弟弟来说。他随时都带着手机，无论在做什么。当我们和他谈话时，他底下头，嘴里应和着，我不认为他在听我们讲话。当他走在街上时，眼睛仍然在屏幕上。我的弟弟就是一个典型的手机使用者，我为他感到遗憾，因为他错过了很多美好的时刻。

范文

Travel is a very good means of broadening a persons perspective. It makes you come into contact with different cultures， meet people of different colors and go through peculiar rites and ceremonies. Travelling much， you will not only eich your knowledge and experiences， but also be aware of the vastness of nature.

It gives you a pleasant experience， which will disperse your boredom and make you forget whatever annoys you. Travel broadens your mind and leaves you good memories. Later，you may go over these memories and enjoy your past experiences， thus keeping a fresh and sunny mind.

整理

The field is his study， nature was his book. Travelers can choose different modes of transportation which have advantages and disadvantages. Airplanes are the fastest but also the most expensive. Buses and trains are less expensive， but they soon make you feel cramped and uncomfortable. Ships provide you with comfort unless you get seasick. Most people can afford traveling by bicycle， which although slow，can limber up your muscles and get you closer to nature.

关于旅游的英语作文

I love traveling. Traveling not only broadens my horizons but also opens my eyes to the world. Whats more, it refreshes me. You can go to Disneyland and experience what its like to be “a child again!” You can visit one of the“seven wonders of the world,” such as the Grand Canyon and feel the magnificence of nature! You can taste the “magical” ice water on a glacier, which can help you become more beautiful and make you live longer. Just forget all trifles and burdens that you have in your mind. Experience is a type of living knowledge. Youll be sure to experience many new things when traveling. You dont even need a tour guide if you long for more freedom. Just dont forget to bring your backpack!

Tourism has enjoyed sex. Tourism in order to escape from real life stress, relax, feel differently through the journey, different experiences, the pursuit of joy to experience. Tourist enjoying enjoyment of the physiology of the body, or it can be free of emotion and imagination. Tourism is enjoying nature and allows people to really integrate into the grounds, enjoy a very enjoyable trip.

旅游具有享受性。旅游是人们为了逃离现实生活工作的压力、自我放松，通过旅途中不同的感受，不同的经历，追求愉悦身心的体验。旅游的享受性既可是身体的生理的享受，也可以是情感的无拘无束，充满想象。因此旅游是具有享受性的，让人们真正融入到旅途中，享受旅途快乐。

旅游的意义在于有所发现，然后提升自我。

Travel is all about discovery and self. Yudan, famous scholars, Professor of Beijing Normal University

The teachers words made me realize that tourism is not the meaning of travel thousands of miles, but from thousands of miles were found journey. Road, we encountered a situation is uncertain, constantly changing environment can sometimes give us surprises, and more is let us start thinking experiences that are already starting to rediscover yourself. When we swim in tourist destinations, as well as the native way of life when it is hard to fit into their lives, then let us have more opportunity to quietly reflect on our old life, or even think about life.

Tourists wandering in different landscapes, different ways of life,between different cultures, there will always be people emotions occur collisions, human heart incline quiet, wide, clear thoughts, find something that usually wouldnt find out. Come tour these feeling are incredible, it often is our own, to a deeper understanding of life and feeling, the point of which is tourism

于老师的这段话让我认识到，旅游的意义不是踏遍千山万水，而是从千山万水的旅途中有所发现。旅途中我们所遇到的情况都是不确定的，在不断变化的环境中有时会给我们惊喜，而更多的则是让我们从已有的经历中开始重新认识思考自己。当我们穿梭在旅游地以及当地人的生活方式中时，我们很难融入进他们的生活，则让我们有更多机会去静静思考我们原有的生活，甚至思考生命。

旅游者游走在不同的景观，不同的生活方式，不同的文化背景之间，总会让人的情感心灵发生碰撞，让人的心倾刻宁静、胸怀广阔、思绪明朗，发现平时所发现不了的东西。旅游中得来的这些感悟是难能可贵的，它常常是我们对自己、对生命更深层次的理解与感悟，这也正是旅游的意义所在 Everyone has a different definition of travel, some people only think of travel as a way of relaxing, while others travel as a learning, they need to be alone on the roads, one free lessons of travel are nutrients for their growth helped.

每个人对旅行的定义都不同，有些人仅仅把旅行当作放松的一种方式， 而有些人把旅行当作一种学习，他们需要孤身上路，一个人随心所欲的汲取旅行中得到的养分，为自己成长助益。

Someone said, "life is just a journey, traveling is the taste of a different life." Travel, is to leave the familiar place, then dont return. Travel, is to return to the starting place and know it again.

Travel is a point on the map, leaving their footprints, then slowly and taste memories. Travel is to experience a variety of geography and culture, there has a different way of life,

has a different kind of life posed by the varied cultural polymorphism.

有人说“人生其实就是一场旅行，旅行就是体味不同的人生”。

旅行，就是离开生活熟悉的地方，然后不一样的归来。旅行，就是重新回到出发的地方，并重新认识它。

旅行，就是在地图上的一个点，留下自己的脚印，然后慢慢回忆和品味。旅行，就是体验不同的地理和文化，那里有着别样的生存

方式，有着别样的人生所构成的多姿多态的文化。

Travels on Holiday China

Nowadays, more and more people like to travel in their holidays. The other day I read a report about the ways people spend their holidays. It is reported that in recent years several new holiday habits have been developed. Among them, the most interesting one is the growth of the so-called holiday camps.

Why did those changes appearI think there are several reasons. First, it s because people can afford traveling. Second, people prefer to pursue a high-quality and colorful life. Third, their attitudes to relaxation have changed. Less people want to save much money by leading a simple life. In short, peoples living standard today has been rising greatly. The Best Way of Traveling

最好的旅游方式

People travel by plane, by train, by ship, by bus. For me, the best way of traveling on a summer vacation is to go on foot.

人们去旅游有的乘飞机、有的坐火车、坐船、乘公共汽车。对我来说在暑假，最好的方式是徒步旅行。 My preference depends on the purpose of the travel. On a summer vacation I travel to refresh myself and to see the countryside. When I use my feet and walk on a grass covered path along a river or among the hills I feel detached from the noise of the city and closer to the nature. And when I travel on foot I get more freedom. I can plan my own schedule. I can choose my own route. I can stop where I like. And I can see things and people that I might miss if I travel on a train or on a bus.

我的偏好取决于旅行的目的。在暑假我旅游是为了消除疲劳并欣赏乡村美景。当我沿着河流或在群山之间走在一条青草覆盖的路上时，我觉得我远离了城市的喧嚣、亲近了自然。徒步旅行，使我很自由。我可以自己安排行程。可以选择我自己的路线。我可以把车子停在我喜欢的地方。而且我可以遇到那些坐火车或公共汽车会错过的人和事。

When faster and more convenient ways for travel are becoming available, I still favor using my own feet. I get much pleasure from it. People travel by plane, by train, by ship, by bus. To me, the best way of traveling on a summer vacation is to go on foot.

当更迅速、更方便的方式使旅游变得更便捷，我仍然热衷于徒步旅行。我从中得到许多乐趣。人们去

旅游有的乘飞机、有的坐火车、坐船、乘公共汽车。对我来说在暑假，最好的方式是徒步旅行。 Tour is not only a personal interest but also a kind of knowledge. A merry journey will be the memory that you can’t forget through your lifetime. It’s really at ease if you wander with two or three china pates who have a little exploratory energy to stay in the interesting places as long as you want but just ignore the unsightly places.

旅游不单是一种兴趣，还是一门学问，快乐的旅途是你终生难忘的回忆。要是有点探险精神的，三两同游，好玩的多逗留，游个饱，不好的不看也罢，自由自在；

It’s not good to join the travel agency otherwise we should call it gaining a superficial understanding through cursory observation but not traveling. Of course, we should study to choose a most toward occasion for the most famous and beautiful scene in the places before we are going to.

不参加旅游团为好，那叫走马观花，不叫旅游。当然，出去之前应该研究一下，要知道你想前往的地方最出名最美丽的风光何时才有

And we need enough money, enough time, special channel and also an economical plane, it’s convenient for us. And we can save more time to view the blue sky generally and look out upon the cloud dancing freely outside the plane.

要是有足够的钱，宽容的时间，路线也应讲究，经济许可的可坐飞机，便捷省时，一览碧空，看云儿在脚下自由自在的飘舞；

It’s also not bad to travel by train. Enjoy the scenery out of the train on the way, just look around here and there , maybe you can get some new friends in this narrow but long carriage. Certainly you’d better choose the different path when you return back from the place of interest so that you can make your eyes full of the landscape of interest on the way and never need to revisit the once familiar place. How far-flung and galland the rivers and mountains in our homeland are! There are still too many places we can go.

坐火车呢，那也不俗，沿途景致，这边看看那边望望，说不定在车上还能交上朋友呢！当然来回路线最好不要一样，这样可把沿途的山水名胜游个饱，将来也不用再到这一片热土作重游之想了。我们的祖国啊河山辽阔壮丽，要去的地方多着呢。

Time is limited but the interest of traveling is limitless. We travel just because of our love knot to the natural mountains and rivers!

旅游之趣，不是一时能谈完的，不过，旅游，皆自对山水之钟情呵！

作文

There is a saying that “You can either travel or read, but either your body or soul must be on the way.” With the improvement of living standards, more and more people have time and money to travel. During traveling, one can meet various people, make new friends and experience various lifestyles of different places.

有句俗话说：“你可以去旅行或者阅读，但是你的身体和灵魂必须在路上。”随着生活水平的提高，越来越多的人们时间和金钱去旅游。在旅游期间，可以见到形形色色的人，交新朋友，在不同地方体验不同的生活方式。

Regarding tour, most of people have great interests in it. It is a human nature that people who come from the dame nature just fall in love into the same.

对于旅游，许多人都怀有浓厚的兴趣。人从自然中来，崇尚自然，乃人类之天性。

The modern city, strenuous living, quickly and crowded living space make more and more people try to come to the dame nature with their light packs and travel bags. There is a song which just show peoples the dream of traveling long distance.

现代都市，生活的高节奏，生存空间的喧嚣和拥挤，使越来越来的人背起行囊轻装走向自然，记得有一首歌《我想去桂林》，正很好地唱出了人们想去远游的愿望。

Traveling, of course, it’s to get into the physical landscape which can help to give you a good temper, wash away the dust from your soul and make you cheer the nice life.

旅游，当然是到真正的山水中去，可以陶冶你的情操，荡涤心灵的尘埃，令你欢呼生命的美好。

Advantages of Travel By traveling we can enjoy the beautiful scenery in different places. We will see with our own eyes many places read of in books, and visit some famous cities and scenic spots. We will meet people with different interests and see strange and different things when we travel.

My mother has no idea that her ninetieth birthday is coming up. She has no notion of the time of day, the day of the week. the season of the year, the year of the century. No notion of the approaching millennium. And no idea any longer, who I am. Her forgetting of me happened just a few months ago, after I had been traveling for more than a month and hadnt been to see her. When I came back, she asked me if I were her niece, l said no, I was her daughter. "Does that mean I had you?" she asked. 1 said yes. "Where was I when l had you?" she asked me. I told her she was in a hospital in Far Rockaway. New York. "So much has happened to me in my life." she said "You cant expect me to remember everything."

My mother was once a beautiful woman, but all her teeth are gone now. Toothless. No woman can be considered beautiful. Whenever I visit her in the nursing home, she is sitting at the table in the common dining room, her head in her hands, rocking. Medication has eased her anxiety, but nothing moves her from her stupor except occasional moments of fear, too deep for medication. This is a room that has no windows, that lets in no light, in which an overlarge TV is constantly blaring, sending images that no one looks at where the floors are beige tiles, the walls cream colored at the bottom, papered halfway up with a pattern of nearly invisible grayish leaves. Many of the residents sit staring, slack-jawed, open mouthed. I find it impossible to imagine what they might be looking at.

When I walk into the dining room on the day of my mothers birthday, I see that she has already been served lunch. The staff has forgotten to hold it back. Though I told them a week ago that I would be providing lunch. She hasn’t touched anything on her tray except a piece of carrot cake, which she holds in her hands. The icing is smeared on her hands and face. I dont want my friends to see her smeared with icing, so I wet a paper towel and wipe her. This fills me with a terrible tenderness, recalling, as it does. a gesture I have performed for my children. As I wipe my mothers face, I see that her skin is still beautiful I hold her chin in my hand and kiss her forehead. I tell her its her birthday, that shes ninety years old. "How did that happen?" she asks. "I cant understand how that could happen."

l have brought her a bouquet of crimson, yellow, and salmon-pink snapdragons. She likes the flowers very much. She likes the name. "Snapdragons. It seems like an animal thats going to bite inc. But its not an animal, its a plant. Thats a funny thing,"

I have bought food that I hope will please my mother, and that will be easy for her to eat: orzo salad with little pieces of crayfish cut into it, potato salad, small chunks of marinated tomatoes. I have bought paper plates with a rust-colored background, upon which are painted yellow and gold flowers and blue leaves.

My friends Nola and Gary come for my mothers birthday. When we are about to leave, I tell my mother that Im going on vacation, mat I wont see her for three weeks, that 1 am going to the sea. "How will I stand that, how will I stand thats she says, but I know that a minute after I’m gone shell forget I was there.

这个节日的由来逝代中国有一位博学多闻的官吏屈原，他是一位爱民而且又受到尊崇的官吏，但是由於一位充满嫉妒的官吏陷害，从此在朝廷中被皇帝所冷落。由於无法获得皇帝的重视，屈原在忧郁的情况下投汨罗江自尽。

由於对屈原的爱戴，汨罗江畔的居民匆忙的划船在江内寻找屈原，并且将米丢入汨罗江中，以平息汨罗江中的蛟龙。即使他们当时并没有找到屈原，但是他们的行为，直到今天在端午节的时候，仍然被人们传颂纪念著。

The origin of this summer festival centers around a scholarly government official named Chu Yuan. He was a good and respected man，but because of the misdeeds of jealous rivals he eventually fell into disfavor in the emperors court.

Unable to regain the respect of the emperor，in his sorrow Chu Yuan threw himself into the Mi Low river. Because of their admiration for Chu Yuan， the local people living adjacent to the Mi Lo River rushed into their boats to search for him while throwing rice into the waters to appease the river dragons.

Although they were unable to find Chu Yuan，their efforts are still commemorated today during the Dragon Boat Festival.

With the development ofscience and technology ,different kinds of pollution has been produced andcaused global concern recently.

As we know, people have beenliving on the earth for thousands of years, human activity damaged natural environment, such as excessive abuse of natural resources ,the sewage dischargedfrom factories ,the animal slaughter ,kinds of chemical fertilizers andgreen-house effect. All that is mentioned above has a bad impact on the eco-system .Now, many animals aredying out. We are suffering from unhealthy food and water, we are faced withharmful rays and global warming. It was ourselves who had made a series oftroubles. As you can see, we are the final victim.

Above all, if we human beings cannot recognize theseserious problems and try our best to solve them soon, we would finally lose theenvironment suitable for us to live. So, it is our duty to protect theenvironment ,but what should we do to protect it?

In my opinion, the first and important thing is tounite all forces ,that is to say---gather all hearts together. Next we shouldprotect and plant more trees, which can dispose of the dust in the air. As forfamilies, it is effective to ride bicycles rather than drive cars. Don’t litteranywhere as you like. In addition, sorting and recycling the rubbish also playan essential role in the protection of our earth. We’d better call on everyone aroundus to lead a low-carbon life, as it may make a difference to the environment.

Thus, it’s high time that we did something to improveour surroundings. Everybody should raise the awareness to protect our motherearth. Let’s appeal to more people to join us.

All in all ,there’s no doubt that keeping the balanceof human and nature ,we will benefit a lot.

Now,I am a senior student in high school, who worked so hard in the past two years.As we all know, the study burden of high school students in China is heavy.

Therefore,we spend most of our time in study and we have little time to have fun.

However, I still consider the days in high school are the greatest, because I developmy strong will, improve my comprehensive abilities and make good friends inhigh school.

In daily life, I meet many problems in life and study, but I overcomethem all.

In the process, I get improvement. In addition, I develop deep relationshipswith my classmates while we study together.

We help each other and makeprogress together. We share our happiness and sorrows and support each other.There is an old saying that a friend in need is a friend indeed. It’s the supportand sharing that make the days cherished.

现在我是一名高三的学生，在过去的两年里我很努力地学习，因为众所周知的，在中国中学生的学习负担非常重。

因此，我们花费大部分的时间在学习上，玩乐的时间却很少。

然而，我始终认为高中是我最美的时光，因为在高中的两年里，我培养了坚强的意志，提高了自身的综合能力，更重要的是，我交到了许多朋友。平时，在生活和学习中我都遇到了许多问题，但我都克服了，在这个过程中，我得到了提高和进步。此外，在平时的学习生活中我也与同学们建立了深厚的感情。我们互相帮助，共同进步，也一起分享喜怒哀乐，互相支持。患难见真情，正是这份互相支持一起分享的感情使高中的时光变得弥足珍贵。

[高中英语作文：美丽的时光

In my hometown, the air is polluted seriously. However, in recent years,

the pollution gets from bad to worse, because of the increasing number of

private cars. Especially during the rush hours, too many private vehicles move

slowly on narrow roads, emitting a large amount of waste gas. Moreover, the

poisonous gas sent by the nearby factories is also one of the main causes of

pollution. Therefore, it’s demanded that immediate and effective measures must

be taken to restrict private cars and public transportation must be developed to

the largest extent. Besides, we should use renewable and clean energy

recourses.

Since we went to school, we have been educated to be polite, no matter to

the young or old people. People follow the manner rules and have a nice

communication between each other, but some people ignore the rules and they

treat their rude behaviors as something cool. Today, people advocate the

individuality, so the young generation wants to do something different and catch

peoples attention. For example, they dont care other peoples feeling and

criticize others as they like, or just interrupt when other people is talking,

they just show what they want to say and they believe they are special and cool.

This is very rude behavior that they dont respect others and have the wrong

idea about individuality. We can do something special on the base of respect

others and follow the rules, or we are just the rude people.

Yesterday my classmates and I went to on a picnic. According to our plan we would climb the West Mountain.

昨天我和我的同学去野餐。按计划要爬西山。

Early in the morning all of us gathered at the gate of our school, we started of at seven, soon it began to have a little rain. We kept on riding for an hour till we reached the foot of the mountain.

The little rain stopped then. We began to climb. Soon we reached the top of the mountain. How beautiful it was when we looked at the view from the top. We ran. sang, jump,

小雨停。我们开始爬山。我们很快就到达了山顶。它是那么美丽，当我们在山顶上看风景。我们跑了。唱歌，跳，

played chess, and had the pictures taken on the top of the mountain. and had lunch on the rocks. How happy we were!

下棋，还拍了照片在山顶。吃午餐的岩石上。我们是多么幸福!

After the lunch we went down the mountain. We got home at four, all of us almost gave out.

午饭后，我们下山了。我们四点到家，我们都筋疲力尽了。

Almost everyone wants to live a long life, but longevity is not for all

people. It is reported that most long life people are in villages, far away from

big cities. In village, life is closer to nature. The sky there is clear and

pretty; the air is fresh; the water is clean; and the food they eat are natural,

without any chemicals. Besides, those villages are abundant in green trees,

beautiful flowers, fresh fruit, and wild animals, which can evoke peoples

passions for life. Moreover, the living pace in those villages is rather slow.

People suffer less stress than cities’. Thus, they have more freedom to enjoy

what they like. No wonder that most villagers are strong and healthy. If I

become old someday, I would like to move to village to enjoy a more comfortable

and pleasant life.

Holiday back, clean up a lot of stuff, and then, feeling, very comfortable very comfortable

First of all, moved toward the shoe ark of the head of a bed for a couple of years (my mother said to do bookcase, open on see, incredibly still really put a lot of my book is on the inside).

First wrote here today to continue next time, bye.

放假回来，清理了不少杂物，然后，感觉，好舒服好舒服

首先，搬走了对着床头好几年的鞋柜(妈妈说要用来做我的书柜，打开一看，居然还真的装了很多我的书在里面)。接着，对着窗口不过是对着床脚的，是一棵铁树，很茂盛很茂盛，我每次打开窗口，见到它的刺就很不舒服很不舒服，于是，我又把它移开了。

然后，把对着和斜对着我房间的两个杂物房里面的东西(八成可以叫做垃圾)八成搬开了。接着，对着房间卫生间的石头，花盆，一张远比上述烂的烂台，很多盆芦荟(原来芦荟还挺多刺的)也搬开了。

在阳台上，有着一堆烂泥紧贴着我房间也正好对着床头(想起许志安的那首歌--烂泥，大家不妨再听一下，那首歌曾经是当年的金曲，许还居然拿了最佳男歌手)，烂泥上面还居然铺着一层铁网，上面堆着如下物体：一个很烂很烂的老鼠笼，10个以内的烂花盆，几块烂石，还有其他我都忘记了。清理烂泥时，居然发现里面还有很多碎瓦，更奇怪的是，里面还有好多条铁条，很幼，但比铁丝要粗韧，而奇怪的是，它门都对着我的床头，真奇怪啊(不禁想到自己自从搬到这个金菊花小区之后发生了这么多事)。

之后，我发现，对着我房间的还有一棵长的很茂盛的黄皮(白话俗称鸡屎果)，听到这个名字，我就想把它砍掉，但妈妈已经种了很多年了，太大了，其实我当时也不明白，为什么盆景要种黄皮。不过，妈妈这两年还种了番薯藤，好多盆都放在窗口边，还有菲菜(白话称为九菜)，至于杨桃，我觉得很难入口。

这些天搬了很多很多东西，虽然辛苦，自己身体也不好(自从搬到这个小区后，到现在好像周身都是病，斜视，肥胖，精神不佳，应该是很不佳，肾亏，疝气，最近还出现了高血压迹象，心跳很快，呼吸急速，还有以前破相所带来的的听力下降，鼻炎，怕见阳光，交际困难，混混鄂鄂，做事轮尽，个人能力严重下降，被人突然无端指着来毒骂(一个初中的杨姓同学)都居然可以无反应等等了)，但搬走后，真的舒服很多，真的，真的很舒服，缠绕自己多年的破相(被妈妈捏难了鼻子，但妈妈却说，这是你自己的事情，要靠你自己去冲破这个困扰，谁也帮不了你)困扰也松了。

今天先写到这里，下次继续，再见。

中文翻译：

各位老师，下午好。请允许我简单介绍一下我自己。

我的名字叫——毕业于咸宁南门私立中学。现就读于湖北省旅游学校。学习饭店管理专业。

我是一个性格开朗的女孩子，所以我的兴趣爱好很广泛。热爱运动。在我闲暇的时候喜欢打篮球，乒乓球，排球，溜冰。一个人在家的时候喜欢上网，或者听歌。不太喜欢太长时间的沉浸在书的世界里，家人曾经告诉过我，劳逸结合是最好的。说到我的家人，那我就要说说我的家庭了。我家里只有三口人，我的奶奶，爷爷和我自己。我爷爷是个工程师，他平时对我很严厉，教会我很多东西。奶奶是个很慈祥的老人，对我的生活照顾得无微不至。所以没有父母的我在他们的照顾下，童年和成长都充满了快乐。

我喜欢酒店管理这个专业，是因为我喜欢生活在一个有严格管理秩序的环境里。我对我的专业充满自信和希望，只要努力，就会有收获，这是我的座右铭。既然我选择了这个专业，就会沿着我这条路，努力的，坚持不懈的走下去。

谢谢各位老师。我的介绍完毕。
