Though I am a child, my parents will not force me to do things as their words. They always tell me the choices and let me make my own decision. Actually, the finally decision I make is what they want me to do. I feel to be respected, because they help me to make the right choice and treat me as an adult.

虽然我只是一个小孩子，但是我的父母从不会强迫我按照他们的想法做事。他们总是让我自己做选择。实际上，我做出的最后决定也正是他们所希望的。我觉得我受到了尊重，因为他们帮助我做出正确的选择，把我当作成年人来对待。

According to a recent article on Newsweek concerning children’s’ education,

there is an increasing number of parents worrying their kids to an extreme

extent, depriving them of independence and freedom by keeping them around

parents all the time.

Some people applaud this phenomenon, suggesting that kids’ safety is the

most important. Thus, they’d better not enter the hazardous society without

supervision unless they become adults. From my point of view, some of their

opinion is correct but keeping children away from independence is a completely

erroneous decision. The reasons are as follows:

First and foremost, “locking kids” may hinder their healthy growth, both

mentally and physically. The kids who are locked may have heavy reliance on

their parents, as their comprehensive skills such as communication skills or

cooperative spirit being prevented from developing.

Secondly, what these parents fail to see is the fact that the crime rate

and accidents aren’t on a rapid rise. It is the abuse of mass media that make

crimes and violence more scary. The parents, who love their kids so much, are

completely forced to live under the illusion that our society is full of riots

or threats of accidents. Thus, kids can be allowed to have more freedom such as

walking to school by himself, for instance.

From what has been discussed above, we may safely draw a conclusion that

kids should be given more freedom by parents’ effort. At the same time, parents

should take many factors into consideration such as the time restriction for

children and the evaluation to kids’ maturity and capability. Only then can they

enjoy a safe and meaningful childhood.

After a semester busy learning, we finally ushered in the summer vacation. In order to have a meaningful summer vacation, I especially ahead of the summer vacation plans, hope I can complete according to the plan.

My summer vacation plan is mainly divided into three parts. The first part is: finish the summer vacation homework. Before summer vacation homework because I have no plan, every time is close to the school before hurriedly catch up on my homework. Plan in this summer vacation I all do for an hour every morning and afternoon summer vacation homework, I believe the efforts of the two hours a day will make me high quality finish the homework during the summer vacation. The second part is: learn to swim. Can see other children in the pool before free swimming, I very envy, also learned last year, but he did not insist on, no society. This years summer vacation, Im going to night ok and dad go to swimming pool to swim, let my dad taught me, I also want to serious efforts to study. The third part is to help my mother do housework. Already in the sixth grade, but I also seldom help mother do the housework, every time the holiday at home are bustling about mother, I just play. This summer vacation, I help my mother do one thing must be at least once a day, reduce the burden of the mother.

With the above detailed plan, I determined to: must complete according to the plan, change your procrastination is lazy, let oneself have a meaningful summer vacation.

经过一学期忙碌的学习，我们终于迎来了暑假。为了过一个有意义的暑假，我特别提前做好了暑假计划，希望自己能按照计划完成。

我的暑假计划主要分为三部分。第一部分为：完成暑假作业。以前的暑假作业都是因为我没有做好计划，每次都是快到开学前才急急忙忙的赶完作业。我计划在这个暑假里每天上午和下午各做一小时的暑假作业，相信每天两小时的努力一定会让我在暑假里高质量的完成作业。第二部分是：学会游泳。以前看见别的小朋友可以在泳池里面自由自在的游来游去，我就十分羡慕，去年也学过，但是自己没有坚持下去，也没有学会。今年的暑假里，我准备晚上没事都和爸爸去游泳馆游泳，让爸爸教我，我也要认真努力的学习。第三部分是帮助妈妈做家务。已经上了六年级了，可我还很少帮助妈妈做家务，每次放假在家都是妈妈忙来忙去，我只管玩。这次的暑假，我一定每天至少帮妈妈做一件事情，减少妈妈的负担。

有了上面详细的计划，我下定决心：一定要按照计划完成，改掉自己拖拉懒惰的毛病，让自己过一个有意义的暑假。

农历五月初五为端午节，又称端阳节、午日节、五月节、艾节、端五、重午、午日、夏节。虽然名称不同，但各地人民过节的习俗是相同的。端午节是我国二千多年的旧习俗，每到这一天，家家户户挂艾叶菖蒲，赛龙舟，吃粽子，饮雄黄酒，游百病，佩香囊。

今天是端午节，大家知道端午节的来历吗?!不知道吧!那就让我来告诉你们吧!你们还记得楚国那位爱国大将屈原吗?我来说一说他吧!

屈原是战国时期出国人，很有学问。他在楚王身边做官，以形象是自己的国家富强起来。昏君楚王却听信奸臣的话，把屈原削职流放。在流放中，屈原听说楚国的都城被敌人占领，百姓遭难，悲愤极了。五月初五这一天，他来到汨罗江边，怀抱一块石头，以纵身跳入汨罗江中。出国的百姓听到屈原投江的消息，都十分悲痛。他们含着泪划着船赶来打捞屈原，还把粽子扔到江里喂鱼，希望鱼儿不要伤害屈原的身体。这就是五月端阳包粽子的来历。

端午节还有许多有趣的活动。列如赛龙舟，挂香囊，香囊内有朱砂、雄黄、香药，外包以丝布，清香四溢，再以五色丝线弦扣成索，作各种不同形状，结成一串，形形色色，玲珑夺目。还有挂艾叶、菖蒲的习惯。

端午节的活动可真多啊!

Dear Sir,

I am highly disappointed in the proposed 2004-05 budget cuts to educa1ion. Taking away basic aid status and slashing our school budgets is a recipe for educational disaster in our school. The future lies with our children. They must have access to high quality educa1ion.

My husband and I have worked hard to be able to live in a school district that provides high quality education for our children. Cutting funding in districts like ours will have a negative impact on property values.

The school that my daughter attends is hardly wha1 I would describe as a "rich" school. Parents are asked to pay for books for all the classes, science supplies and for their students to participate in the performing arts among other items. If our school is to remain a world leader in technological development, cutting our school funds is the worst possible choice to make.

Education funds should not be diverted away from education.

Yours faithfully,

Tom Williams

告诉你一个秘密，在我家里，爸爸、妈妈送给了我一个很好听的称呼：环保小卫士。我管的环保范围可宽哩，家里吃、穿、用的东西我都管，而且管理的井井有条。因为我生长在一个环保家庭里，经常听爸爸和爸爸一起工作的叔叔们讲环保的事情，使我从小懂得了一些环保方面 在家里，我经常听爸爸讲环保方面的故事，他还经常给我看一些环保的图片，当我看到国家一级保护动物藏羚羊被枪杀、剥皮后，累累腐尸横卧在莽莽草原上的惨景，对杀害野生动物的行为深恶痛绝。我下决心不再吃野生动物，而且监督家里的所有人和我的朋友们不吃国家保护动物，从禁吃上为保护野生动物做一些贡献。监督爸爸妈妈不吃野生动物，比较容易做到，哥哥姐姐可受罪罗。我表姐和表哥特别爱吃油炸青皮大青蛙，在我监督下，从去年至现在，他们没吃一只青皮青蛙，直嚷着嘴里没味。

As we all know, pollution is harmful to living beings. There are many

different types of pollutions in this world. For instance, water pollution, air

pollution, noise pollution and so on. Water pollution cause many kinds of

disease that have negative effects on human beings, sometimes the diseases will

take people’s life away. Dirty air will increase the rate of getting lung

cancer. While the noise pollution will cause insomnia. People’s health condition

will be damaged.

In my humble opinion, people should take measures to control the pollution.

Recently, not only the government, but also individual has taken part in the

action of protecting the environment. This is a good sign. Rivers are being

cleaned, air is purified, and the people come to realize that the importance of

protecting the environment.

However, this is not enough, the problems are still exist. Not all of them

have been solved. Some factories are still pouring dirty water into the rivers

or give off the toxic gas into the sky. We should know that protecting the

environment needs everybody’s effort.

——端午节，也就是人们常说的重五。我问爷爷：“端午节是怎么来的?”爷爷说：“端午节是为了纪念我国古代的爱国人士屈原而来的。当时屈原还是楚国的朝廷命官，但是小人当道，朝廷昏庸。屈原不愿亲眼见着国家的覆没，就怀抱石头，投进了汨罗江。楚国的百姓闻讯后，纷纷划船营救。从此，便有了端午节的说法。

Chinese patriot Qu Yuan. When Qu Yuan was in court officials, but the villains

hobbies are very important to a person. without having any hobby, life wont be as colorful as it should be. i have a variety of hobbies, such as collecting stamps, playing musical instruments, reading, and doing sport activities.

when i am free, i will spend time on my hobbies. when i am in a blue mood, i will also do my hobbies to cheer myself up. hobbies can help us improve our moods. many hobbies requires devotion. for eample, when you play a musical instrument, you have to practice over and over in order to perform good music.

after a period if you still enjoy it, gradually it will become a hobby of yours. but, remember: a hobby is like gold under the ground; no hobby will come to you unless you dig it out yourself. if you can treat study as one of you hobbies, learning will be more enjoyable. i hope all of you can find your own hobbies and also have fun from them.

Love is like water, eight years of spring and autumn, my beautiful childhood is in the fathers care and companions spent. I can not forget that every Sunday morning, my father to accompany me to the Childrens Palace painting scene, it is accompanied by my father, I can comfortably in the studio to imagine, in the colorful world to fly.

And told me the most can not forget is that my father every day is busy, but my father every night will never forget, holding my favorite book, sitting next to me, seriously to me to study. In the sound of my fathers reading, I seemed to come to the forest and heard the whisper of the animals; I seemed to fly into space and meet with the nine planets; I seemed to come to the vast grasslands and see the mighty wolves in the protection of the prairie.

In my fathers vivid reading, I seem to smell the breath of spring, hear the summer cicadas, see the fall of the leaves, touched the winter snow. When I was fascinated, Dad often stopped and asked me: "I understand?" I am eager to answer: "I understand." Sometimes I will interrupt my father reading, ask a lot of why, my father patience To answer one by one, this also gave me a "one hundred thousand why" nickname ... ...

Spring and summer autumn and winter, four seasons reincarnation, slowly I grew up, I will read and write, and I gradually understand:

Dad, your companions let me know the greatness of nature, your companions let me know a lot of reason, your companions make me very happy.

Daddy, I will take my happy childhood slowly talking about you and listen to you.

A crowd of student was gathered on the campus of Oxford University. “You can have no doubt,” shouted a young man excitedly, “that if the Dean does not take back what he said to me this morning, I’ll leave Oxford this very evening!”

A buzzing noise followed. “What a man of actions!” one said in admiration. “How should we support him and learn from him!” said another.

Suddenly, a girl asked, “What did the Dean say to you, Hob?”

He bent and whispered to her, “Well,er•••er•••Miss Rose, er•••he told me to get clean away from Oxford this very evening!”
