Dear Mr Pan:

It has been a long time since I wrote the last letter. Nowdays, people write letters less and less, instead, they make a call or send a SMS. However, it is still a good way for us to communicate with each other by sending a letter.

Its my honour to get the chance to write to you. "Approachable" is my first impression of you, because you always keeps smiling. Students may fear the teachers that are serious both in and out of class. Smile makes a teacher popular with his students, you are a teacher of this very kind.

You always arrive at the classroom ahead of any of the students, from which we could imply that you are a diligent man with regular habit. Before the class, you like to talk to us, at this very time, you are more a friend than a teacher. To be honest, I was surprised in the first class when I learned a teacher at your age could speak English in such a fluent way.(I didnt mean you are old, youre young at heart.) Moreover, you know well how to keep your class attractive. Youve got such an active mind that you can keep talking during the whole class without a pause. I always appreciated your ideas and enjoyed listening to you. In your class, I learned not only the writing skills but also the presentation skills as well as much knowledge of other areas. Thanks for your excellent teaching.

Ive got some suggestions for you. It seems that we students have got few chances to participate in discussion during the class time. Most of the time, we are listening. Seldom did we express our own ideas. I suggest that teachers should interact with students more frequently in the class. Besides, Id like to practice writing more, so would you please leave us more assignments?

Happy new year.

With every good wish.

Yours sincerely

Dali Wang

I am. I was born in. I graduate from senior high school and major in English. I started learning English since I was 12 years old. My parents have a lot of American friends. That’s why I have no problem communicating with Americans or others by speaking English.

In my spare time, I like to do anything relating to English such as listening to English songs, watching English movies or TV programs, or even attending the activities held by some English clubs or institutes. I used to go abroad for a short- term English study. During that time, I learned a lot of daily life English and saw a lot of different things.

I think language is very interesting. I could express one substance by using different sounds. So I wish I could study and read more English literatures and enlarge my knowledge.

关于考试作弊的(About cheating in exams)－共三篇

第一篇：

It is known to us that some students cheat in the examinations at school.

Why do students cheat? For most of the time, students cheat because the exams are too hard for them. It’s easy to see that they haven’t studied hard enough to pass the exams. Others may want to get a higher mark by all means--frankly speaking, they want to be praised or even admired.

As a result, exams certainly become unfair for non-cheating students. And soon the majority of the students will learn and choose to cheat in exams so as to “follow the style.”

Therefore, we must take measures now. First, students need an honest study environment, and second, they should be told to pay more attention to the discipline and seriously obey it all the time.

In a word, students can not cheat on any account.

I had an unforgettable birthday party when I was thirteen years old. Before

that, I had never invited my friends to my birthday party and it was my first

time to do that. When the party began, we had chocolate and juice at home and we

played a funny game. My friends gave me a lot of gifts, I liked them very much.

Later we went to a restaurant and had a big dinner. I had a birthday cake with

thirteen candles. I blew out them. My friends said, “Happy birthday to you!” I

was so excited. I cut the cake into pieces and gave them to everyone. I did not

do well in it, but we laughed and laughed. We were happy that day.

Money doesn’t mean everything, but friendship can make us happy. I can’t

forget that birthday party and I miss my friends very much.

Factories, schools, hospitals, cinemas and theatres have sprung up one after another. The life of the people is greatly improved.I love my hometown. All the more I love its people.

Joy depicts the crisis of faith that overes Rabbi Banish of Komarov， who， having buried his four sons and two daughters. Only through the mercy of the God he has denied， manifest in a radiant vision of the dead Rebecca， his beloved youngest daughter， is the rabbi’s belief restored. The sense of wonder and the touch of heavenly joy that linger after the vision dissolves convince Rabbi Banish of the folly of judging God’s actions by human standards. The rabbi has interpreted the apparent tragedy of his children’s premature deaths as evidence of God’s alienation， forgetting that God is by definition inscrutable. That God’s purpose transcends man’s ability to prehend it is made clear to the expiring rabbi when the family dead approach his deathbed with arms outstretched to enfold him among them. For theirs is the kingdom of heaven to which a loving God has called them; and their deaths have evidenced not God’s wrath but his grace.

A version of Rabbi Banish’s deathbed revelation appears to Rabbi Nechemia in Something Is There. At twenty-seven he is already racked by the doubts that torment Rabbi Banish. So shaken is his belief in God that he deserts his rabbinical post in provincial Bechev for the flesh-posts of Warsaw. Although the prostitutes， unclean food， and shady business dealings which he witnesses there hold no attraction for the erstwhile rabbi， they intensify his revulsion from the world created by God and therefore his alienation from God himself. Unlike Rabbi Bainish， whose intimations of immortality and consequent rededication to God precede his radiant deathbed vision， Rabbi Nechemia cannot allay his doubts until the very moment of death， when a light he never knew was there flickered in hid brain.

While his dying words—something is there—resolve his crisis of faith， they e too late to affect the spiritual renewal attained by Rabbi Banish. No explicit promise of immortality， let along of salvation， attends Rabbi Nechemia’s vision. Perhaps grace is accorded Rabbi Banish because his doubt is triggered by devastating personal losses， and withheld from Rabbi Nechemia because his despair is the bitter fruit of idle speculation about the unknown. Whatever the reason， relatively few of Singer’s characters are granted at the moment of death the transcendent vision of unity between man and God that appears to Rabbi Banish in Joy. For the fortunate few， release from time into eternity is affected by a divine visitation which obliterates distinctions between past and present， living and dead.

These kinds of characters are lost in their world because of the seducement of the material world. They doubt their formal faith and gradually give up what they believed. But after they have experienced so much hardship， they realize that they cannot adapt to the life of the outer world so they regress to the former life with formal faith. They realize the importance of God and they begin to think seriously about the relationship between man and God. At last they find their right way of their life.

一开门，就是一句“新年好，哈—匹—牛—叶（happy new year）！”哇，现在就连普通话都不怎么好的叔叔也有一口“流利”的英语，他说，他这是现买现学，这句话是刚从他儿子那学来的！

“哎，又是过年，过年最没有意思了，就知道在家里看看电视，也没什么好干的！哎……”我想现在的小孩子一定也有和我一样的想法吧。毕竟，现在的过年一点气氛都没有，以前，家家户户都会忙着挂红灯笼，贴“福”字，还有，就是赶着去买团圆八宝饭呢！年初一我们一大早就起床，然后约好了成群结队出去窜门，我们小孩子就在家里玩，然后一起吃团圆饭。可是现在就截然不同了，现在就连什么时候过年，我都会忘了，过年的前一天都在问什么时候过年呢！

早上，我硬是被爸爸妈妈给拖起来，只喝了一杯牛奶，就跑去客厅里来看电视准备打发时间，这时，爸爸妈妈对边看电视边打瞌睡的我说：不用看电视了，我们出去玩！” “有地方玩吗？” “有，你别忘了，现在这里住着的我们都认识，难道还不愁没人玩吗！”爸爸妈妈兴奋地说到。我们先到了最近的一户人家。 一开门， 就是一句“新年好， 哈—匹—牛—叶（happy new year）！”哇，现在就连普通话都不怎么好的叔叔也有一口“流利”的英语，他说，他这是现买现学，这句话是刚从他儿子那学来的！尽管有点不标准，不过在我这个大师的指导下，你别说还真有点长进！由于他们家还没有吃好饭，所以我们一家三口又继续出发了。后来，我们不仅参观他们的新房子，同时也道了新年贺词，啊多么愉快的事呀！挨家挨户都走过了，现在也该歇息歇息了，大人们在阳台上下象棋，瞧，他们还兴奋地说“出将”呢！有的在打麻将，一个个都想趁着这个新年有个好手气！， 有的客人还在看鱼，那些顽皮的鱼儿从假山的石缝里钻来钻去，让客人们忍不住那棍子去逗逗它们。而我们小孩子呢，哈，看电视的看电视，玩电脑的玩电脑，也都很快活！

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.

Hi everyone, glad to introduce myself. I graduated from Xx junior high school, my name is xxx, comes from a beautiful city named xx. I like making friend with others, playing computer and reading. I am proud of studying with everyone in the same class for the coming years. I am sure our common dreams will come true from now on. Thanks.

Fathers Day is a holiday to celebrate fatherhood and parenting by males,

just as Mothers Day celebrates motherhood. Typically giving gifts to fathers

and celebrating as a family is the main event of the day. Fathers Day is

celebrated on different days in different countries.

Fathers Day exists almost all over the world to honor and commemorate

fathers or forefathers. In the Roman Catholic tradition, Fathers Day is

celebrated on Saint Josephs Day, March 19, though in most countries Fathers

Day is a secular celebration.

In recent years, retailers have adapted to the holiday by selling

male-oriented gifts such as electronics and tools. Schools and other childrens

programs commonly have activities to make Fathers Day gifts.

In the United States, the driving force behind the establishment of the

celebration of Fathers Day was Mrs Sonora Smart Dodd, born in Creston,

Washington. Her father, the Civil War veteran William Jackson Smart, as a single

parent raised his six children in Spokane, Washington. She was inspired by Anna

Jarviss efforts to establish Mothers Day. Although she initially suggested

June 5, the anniversary of her fathers death, she did not provide the

organizers with enough time to make arrangements, and the celebration was

deferred to the third Sunday of June. The first Fathers Day was celebrated on

June 19, 1910, in Spokane.

Unofficial support from such figures as William Jennings Bryan was

immediate and widespread. President Woodrow Wilson was personally feted by his

family in 1916. President Calvin Coolidge recommended it as a national holiday

in 1924. In 1966, President Lyndon Johnson made Fathers Day a holiday to be

celebrated on the third Sunday of June. The holiday was not officially

recognized until 1972, during the presidency of Richard Nixon.
