拥抱拾荒的父亲英语作文精彩20篇

Once a child asked such a question: What can I benefit from being "a good

child"? Among the many answers he received one ran like this: "A good child" is

the most precious gift God gives to you. And the same can be said for being

honest. It pays to be honest.

Yes, its true that dishonesty exists almost everywhere in the society.

Consumers often found themselves being blackmailed by those merchants selling

shoddy products; and there are students

Cheating in order to pass the exams or get high marks; moreover, we are not

short of examples that many rich professionals evade the taxes by sacrificing

the interests of government.

But havent we seen their results? "A fall into the pit, a gain in

customers wit", which would surely drive those dishonest merchants out of

business. Regret of wasting time yet being

Empty-handed would accompany those dishonest students all their life. On

the contrary, we could have all they lost, especially a good reputation and a

clear conscience, which are the best qualities of human beings. Thats why we

say "It Pays to Be Honest".

In my family, there are only three people, my parents and I. because of my

parents’ work, they could only have one child at that time, so I don’t have any

siblings. I felt so lonely when my parents went out for their work. Now the

government changed their policy, people can have the second child. But some

people refuse because they think they can’t afford it. Despite the expense,

there are many advantages to have the second child. For one thing, the only

child can have someone company, so they won’t feel lonely on the process of

growing up. For another thing, two kids will help each other, they can share

things together. Learning to share things is a very important lesson for

children. In Chinese tradition, more kids, more better, but I think two are

perfect for the family.

【翻译】

每个人都会有许多梦想。有的人想变得富有，一夜暴富;有的人想一夜成，名扬四海。我也有许多的梦想。当我还是一个女孩的时候，我就梦想着，有朝一日成为一名像华罗庚那样的科学家。但是我知道，梅花香自苦寒来。所以，我在中学和大学时为我实现我的梦想而认真刻苦的学习。

大学毕业后，我成为了一名老师，虽然我每天都很忙碌，但是我没忘记过我的梦想，我仍然不断坚持学习。在求知的道路上不断摸索前进，废寝忘食。现在，我已经小有成就了，我的多篇研究论文相继发表，研究成果也有着极高的应用价值。我很快乐。虽然，成为一名科学家目标还很远，毕竟我还是在不断向前迈进。

我的父亲平时工作很忙，每天加班到很晚，周末也经常出差。但是他很珍惜与我相处的时间，一有空就陪我游戏，陪我锻炼，陪我阅读……每年爸爸妈妈都会安排一到两次家庭旅游，那是我最最开心的时光！

今年寒假，我随爸爸妈妈再次来到冰天雪地的北海道学滑雪。我们一起在滑雪场足足呆了7天，每天起早奔赴滑雪学校参加各自的滑雪课程，下午课程结束后再结伴乘坐缆车从山上滑下来。我们互相鼓励呼啸切磋技艺，一周下来我们都取得了很大的进步。

父亲答应我明年还要陪我去滑雪！我很享受与父亲呆在一起时光，哪儿有父亲哪儿就有欢声笑语！我爱你！亲爱的父亲！

这是我父亲，他在银行工作，这是他们去新疆考察一个矿产企业时的照片。

父亲与我说，这个企业在奎屯市的郊区，非常远，他们下了飞机后，又坐了十几个小时的汽车才到那里。而且，当时当地的气温只有20多度，从杭州出发的时候，还只是秋天，没想到新疆会这么冷！父亲当时身边没有厚衣服，就问当地企业的人借了件军大衣披上，直接下去企业矿区考察了，所以才有了这张照片。

作为银行职员，他们经常要全国各地考察企业，虽然工作很辛苦，但是我觉得父亲很厉害，他不怕吃苦，也很敬业耐劳。

我现在还小，还没有工作，我的任务只是学习，父亲与我说，我人生的路还有很长，一路上是荆棘密布还是花香满园需要我自己去体会，去经历。他希望我在学习中能够像他一样，即使辛苦，也要坚持不懈，不论沿途风景如何，父亲的臂膀，永远会是我最温暖的依靠。

这是个身着工作服，满身油漆和泥土，满面灰尘，约莫40岁的中年男子。

他隔着车窗朝我弯着腰，腼腆地笑着，给我递了根香烟。

看我接了烟，他大喜过望，慌忙从兜里摸出打火机帮我点上，且咧开大嘴一笑，说：“大哥，您是几天来第一个接俺烟的呢。”

我一听有点蒙。

他好像瞧出了我的心思，又是憨憨一笑，说：“俺这烟差，你们城里人瞧不上眼。您是第一个接俺烟的人，俺激动哩。您绝对是一个瞧得起俺们乡下人的好人。您说是不，大哥？”

“有事吗？”我笑笑，为这个中年男子的“油嘴滑舌”。

“是这样的，大哥，”男子搓搓手，不住地点头，“俺就是想，能坐坐您的车不？”

“你要到哪里？”我轻轻皱了皱眉，不是我小气不让他搭车，而是他那一身的油漆和泥土，实在是让我心生芥蒂。

“不不不，”他把头摇得像拨浪鼓，“俺哪儿也不去，就在上面坐一会儿就行。今儿不坐，就明天坐一回就行，还是今儿这个时间。”

说完，他那布满血丝的大眼睛，充满着乞求的眼神。

我犹豫了一下，还是点了头，说：“行！”我话音刚落，还没来得及问他我心中的疑惑，他就一连向我说了几句谢谢便离开了。临走前，还特意向我车前的车牌望了一眼。

翌日，他骑着自行车准时到了学校门口。看我在，他一脸兴奋，轻轻坐上了副驾驶座位，和我聊了起来。

还没聊五分钟，放学的孩子们便冲出了校门。他透过玻璃，紧张地看着人流。过了一阵，他飞快地推开车门，站在车旁大喊着。不一会儿，一个小男孩跑到了他的面前，他让小男孩叫了我一声“叔叔好”，然后还介绍说我是他在城里刚认识的朋友。他递了根香烟给我，便将孩子放在自行车上匆匆离开了。临走的时候，他望向我的眼神里，充满了感激。

我实在不明白，他为什么只坐这么一小会儿。直到三天后在学校门口，他才告诉了我答案。

原来，孩子刚进城读书，因为农村和城里的生活习惯存在很大的不同，所以很多同学很瞧不起他的孩子。孩子的心里因此出现了阴影。

“其实俺明白，城里人也待俺们如亲兄弟般的好，只是孩子小，暂时还不能理解。”他笑笑说，“俺上次坐您的车看着他向我跑来，然后我就告诉他，您和我是顺路的，常免费载着我一起来学校！”

他搓着手，又憨憨地补充道：“别的家长给自己孩子的温暖那么长！”他张开双臂，比画了一段很长的距离，然后又接着说，“俺不中用，俺只能给他这么点的暖！”说完，他用手指比画了一个大约一寸的长度。

70-year-old father was in town to live after I received one to dusk, he always liked the balcony, looking at the misty sky in a daze.

One day, my father asked me: "Son, this city people, do not have firewood to cook it how there is so much smoke.?" My father always get lost in the city, he said: "Son, village crossed a ridge on the home, home town road too many. "

Came to town, my father always felt weak legs, not as brisk pace in the country field. Dinner, my father always Qieqie look, just kept Grilled rice, rarely bite, not soup.

Middle of the night, I got up to go the bathroom, there is a shadow on the living room couch to see. I turned on the light, and asked: "? Dad, you do Why do not sleep."

"Take a ride with me okay? Son, I always feel that I am a person Chixian Fan." Father deflated lips, eyelids droop, like a child full of grievances.

"Dad, how do you say you are, you kept me for my college life so much pain to eat, enjoy life now that you go to sleep, tomorrow morning, I had a meeting to be open."

Father hurriedly got up and said:. "Well, well, Ill go to bed."

The next morning, my father quietly got up to go out. Later, I was making breakfast for her son. He came back. My father said: "I think people in town all morning workout, I walk out, exercise, exercise." Since then every day.

You let me go home, give you specialized feeding chicken okay," I patted his fathers shoulder, smiled and said: "Now we keep you very much, want you to go back and raise chickens doing ah."

When watching TV, I quietly asked his father: "? Money wheres your chicken," his father said:. "Im kind of in the countryside pipe down for so many years, how many have little savings."

Since then, every ten days and a half, my father always buy a chicken, a duck stuff like that. Watching us eat tasty look, he grinned at the side. On the table, he is no longer buried dinner. After consultation with my wife said it would follow the father, lest his heart, let him feel Chixian Fan.

Mid-autumn day is a special festival in China, which is one of the

traditional Chinese festivals. Itfalls on the 15th day of august lunar month

every year. Our Chinese will celebrate it on that day. I think there are not too

many people can reject he temptation of it. I like this festival very much. I

have two reasons.

First of all, mid-autumn has the deep meaning of reunite. In china, people

regard mid-autumn day as very important, so no matter where they are, they will

come back to their family if there is a chance. They don’t like celebrate this

festival outside, which will make them feel lonely. Thus, they will go home by

all means. Luckily, the government also pays great attention to this traditional

festival. There are laws to make sure people have holidays in that special day.

In the other word, mid-autumn festival gives a chance for family get

together.

Secondly, every family will prepare a big meal in that day. All the food is

delicious. It is good to have a big meal. I think nobody will not interest in

delicious food. The mooncake is a necessary decoration for mid-autumn day. It

tastes good, too. It is the traditional for a long time. How pleased to enjoy

the glorious full moon with mooncake!

This is why I love mid-autumn festival so much. It is funny and happy

time.

Nowadays,there is a increasing number for people to join in the activities

of volunteering.Its well-known that volunteering job is making contribution to

the society with nothing in return.Its like the Leifeng spirit.However,knowing

this,there are still many people would like to devote themseves in this

trend.For instance,the 20__ Beijing Olympic Games has so many volunteers.They

made lots of contribution to the success of opening the Olympics.Moreover,we can

often see that there many students go to geroium to visit the old to bring warm

to the lonely people.Even there are some peoples career is volunteer.They are

ready to help others.Although the volunteers are much more mon,we still need to

thanks them to admire them devoting themseves to the society.

如今，有越来越多的人加入到志愿服务行业。众所周知，志愿者工作是对社会的无私贡献。就像雷锋精神一样。然而，虽然意识到这一点但还是有很多人愿意奉献于这个行业。例如，20__年北京奥运会有这么多的志愿者。他们为奥运会的成功举行做了很多的贡献。此外，我们经常能够看到，有很多学生去敬老院看望老人给他们带去温暖。甚至有些人的职业就是志愿者。他们时刻准备好去帮忙别人。虽然志愿者是越来越常见了，但我们仍然要感谢他们钦佩他们为社会奉献自我。

Today is the annual traditional festival in China, "Spring Festival". The morning sun was still in bed, I was like the sound of firecrackers to wake up. I get up and wash, this is my brother and sister have been wearing new clothes neat and I go to visit my grandparents and grandparents give us pay New Years call, each made a big red, I opened the door to stay, which contained a $100 bill, I like to eat honey, happy the flowers.

After eating dumplings, my mother said that I dont have to write my homework today. I can play a day with my brother and sister. I am very happy after I hear it.

The Spring Festival is the most important festival in China. On this day, every family has to eat dumplings, set off firecrackers, put up couplets and hang lanterns, which is the happiest and happiest day of the year.

The volunteering spirit has spread among the Chinese people in recent

years,especially among young people。

Volunteering is of tremendous benefits to both those in need and

society.Take the Wenchuan Earthquake as an example.Hundreds of thousands of

volunteers play an active role in Wenchuan quake-hit areas.And they contribute

daily necessaries,offer medical help and psychological help to the disaster

relief work.

Besides,volunteering would be beneficial to the volunteers

themselves~Getting involved in volunteering,volunteers will be exposed to a new

environment,and they can learn how to work well in a team,how to improve their

interpersonal skills and organizational skills，all of which are critical for

their professional growth。As a college student,I sincerely hope that everyone

would join the volunteering work.It is not only good to our society,but also a

chance for us to grow and to learn.

In recent years, China’s food industry occurs security issus frequently,

which makes people worried and lose confidence. Food safety, related to the

people’s health, safety and healthy development of economy, is the major issue

of national stability and social development. Since the Sanlu Incident occurred

in 2008, the entire society increasingly concerned about food safety issue. It

was in this context that the food safety issue was referred to an unprecedented

level.

There are the following main issues in food security: using poor quality

raw materials in the food manufacturing process, adding toxic substances,

excessive use of food additives, abusing of chemical additives and so on. There

are many reasons to cause this problem, and regulators, producers and even

consumers share responsibilities. The entire society should try effort to avoid

food safety issues.

The Dragon Boat Festival is a lunar (阴历)holiday, occurring (存正)on the fifth

day of the fifth lunar month (农历史五月第五天). Dragon Boat Festival is my favourite

festival.During the holiday of Dragon Boat Festival,I got together with my

family to have a big meal.We ofen ate the zongzi.It tasted very nice.And we saw

the Dragon Boat Races.I felt excited because the race was bustling with noise

and excitement.At Dragon Boat Festival,we also drank realgar wine.Some people

thought drank realgar wine can protect themselves from illness.Dragon Boat

Festival was interesting and I like it very much.

The Chinese Dragon Boat Festival is a significant (有意义的)holiday celebrated

(庆祝)in China, and the one with the longest history (历史最悠久). The Dragon Boat

Festival is celebrated by boat races (龙舟赛) in the shape of dragons. Competing

teams (竞争团队) row their boats forward to a drumbeat (击古)racing to reach the

finish end first.

The boat races during the Dragon Boat Festival are traditional customs

(传统习俗)to attempts to (试图)rescue (搭救) the patriotic poet (爱国诗人)Chu Yuan. Chu Yuan

drowned (溺死) on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month in 277 B.C. Chinese

citizens now throw bamboo leaves (竹叶) filled with cooked rice into the

water.

Therefore the fish could eat the rice rather than the hero poet. This later

on turned into the custom of eating tzungtzu and rice dumplings(棕子).

The celebrations is a time for protection (防护) from evil (邪恶) and disease

(疾病) for the rest of the year. It is done so by different practices such as

hanging healthy herbs on the front door, drinking nutritious concoctions (营养品),

and displaying (展示) portraits (画像) of evils nemesis(邪恶报应), Chung Kuei. If one

manages to (成功做...) stand (直立)an egg on its end at exactly 12:00 noon, the

following year will be a lucky one.

Today, people eat bamboo-wrapped steamed glutinous(粘的) rice dumplings

called zongzi (the food originally intended to feed the fish) and race dragon

boats in memory of Qus dramatic death.

Which is better, shopping online or traditional shopping? Different people

have different attitudes towards it. Some people think that online shopping is

very convenient, for it can save them a lot of time and energy. It’s especially

helpful for those who are always busy with their work. Besides, through the

internet, they can get more information about the commodities they want to buy

and buy a lot of things that cannot be bought in local places.

Nevertheless, I’m not keen on online shopping at all, since most

commodities which are bought online are of poor quality. Once we are cheated, we

may find it difficult to make a complaint. Thus we should take more cautions

when shopping online.

In my eyes, I prefer traditional shopping, because I can choose what I

really need. Also, I can know the quality of every commodity more clearly. Even

if there’s something wrong with the commodities, I can still ask the sellers to

compensate for my loss.

Volunteers are the pulse of the city and the beautiful scenery of the city.

They are composed of a group of enthusiastic young people who love public

welfare and support the public welfare undertakings of the society.

In the volunteer organization, every volunteer is equal, everyone is equal

in personality and status, everyone has come together for a common goal, it can

be said that they are the most intimate brothers and sisters without blood!

A team is composed of people, and there must be a certain division of labor

according to peoples abilities. Some people are suitable for leadership, some

people are suitable for publicity, and some people are happy to be ordinary

volunteers working on the front line.

The so-called people do their best.

Only make the best use of it! Only such a group can flourish and thrive! If

you just divide the volunteers into three, six or nine classes based on their

abilities, identities, and statuses, it will hurt not only a persons emotional

problems, but also the longevity. , the affinity and cohesion of the team will

be greatly reduced! If the composition of the volunteers are all dignitaries,

then the transparency of the volunteers will have to be doubted by the

world.

Although it is said that if you are poor, you will be alone, and if you are

good, you will help the world, but it does not rule out that there will be some

people who are not rich and not very capable, but are willing to do their best

to join this organization. I think we should also. Accept them with a tolerant

heart, because our organization is voluntary, fair, and equal!

志愿者是城市跳动的脉搏，是都市亮丽的风景，由一群热爱公益的热血青年组成，撑起了社会的公益事业。

在志愿者组织中，每一位志愿者都是平等的，大家在人格上，地位上都是平等的，大家为了一个共同的目标走到了一起，可以说是最为亲密的，没有血缘的兄妹!

一个团队，由人组成，根据人的能力必然有了一定的.分工，有的人适合做领导，有的人适合做宣传，而有的人乐于做一个普通的义工工作在第一线。

所谓人尽其才。

才尽其用!这样的团体才能蓬勃发展，蒸蒸日上!若硬是把志愿者依据能力、身份、地位的不同，分出个三六九等，所伤及的怕不只是一个人的情感问题，天长日久，团队的亲和力、凝聚力怕是要大打折扣!倘若志愿者的组成都是些达官显贵，那么志愿者的透明程度，就不得不让世人怀疑了。

虽说有穷则独善其身，达则兼济天下一说，可也并不排除会有一些并不富裕，能力不是很强，却愿意尽自己绵薄之力的人愿意加入这个组织，我想我们也要以一个宽容的心来接纳他们，因为我们的组织是宗旨是志愿、公平、平等!

In recent years, college studentsfind it increasingly difficult toget a

job. It sounds strange since young college students are usually intelligent,

well-educated phenomenon, aspirant and eager to bring their talent into full

play. Then what underlies the strange phenomenon?

There are several reasons for this.To begin with, nowadays college students

aim too high. All they want are “good” jobs which could offer good salary,

comfortable working conditions, high social status among others. Consequently,

most college students are unwilling to accept vacant jobs they consider

not“good” enough. Another reason is thatthere is a big gap between the majors

some students study in school and the demands of vacant jobs. So companies think

some students are not fit for the jobs.

Solution to the problem requiresefforts on both the society and the

students. The companies should value the students, talent and knowledge while

the latter should not merely aim at material gains. They should be down-to–earth

in building up their career. Furthermore, they should face their weak points so

as to improve themselves and be more competent.

亲爱的父亲，你脸上的皱纹记载着沧桑，年龄已老一脸的慈祥，儿女心中你的身影，永远伟岸和坚强。下面是小编分享的父亲初中英语作文，欢迎大家阅读!

今天是父亲节，想到爸爸平时那么辛苦，我决定送一个礼物给爸爸，不过我不知道送什么好，突然，我想到妈妈和爸爸那么好，一定有什么好的建议。

于是，我去找母亲商量怎么让父亲高兴。可是，我和母亲两个人商量了好一会儿都没有想出办法来。后来，还是我灵机一动才想出了一个好办法。我立刻对母亲说：“父亲的胡子很多，而且经常会长出来。而且他比较忙，所以，我想买一把剃须刀给爸爸。让他一有空就可以剃去胡须。妈妈，你说好吗？”“好呀，孩子你想到真好！”我听了别提有多高兴了。

于是，我和妈妈一起来到了一家专卖店。那家商店东西真多呀！可是，我想到自己是来买剃须刀的。于是，我直奔陈列剃须刀的柜台。我挑选了一会儿，看到一把银白色的剃须刀既好看又实用，而且价钱也不贵。于是，我掏出自己带来的平时省吃俭用积累起来的钱，给了老板，拿了那把银白色的剃须刀就和妈妈一起走了。走出商店，妈妈对我说：“送你父亲一样东西不太好吧，再去买一样，好吗？”“好呀，只是我带的钱不多了。”“那没有关系，我这儿有钱。”于是，我就和妈妈一起去了蓝房子——一家专卖贺卡和礼物的商店。进了商店，我立刻开始挑选。我选好了一张可爱的小贺卡。妈妈看了以后说我的眼光真不错。

回到家里，我马上在贺卡上写上我对父亲的祝福语言。然后，我把它和剃须刀放在一起，耐心地等待着。

父亲下班回家来了，我立刻迎上去把礼物和贺卡递给父亲。父亲看到这一份特别珍贵的礼物，迫不及待地看了起来。等到看清礼物以后，他的嘴巴都张开成了“O”型。

然后爸爸非常开心的把我抱起来了，妈妈在旁边看到我们这样，也非常的开心。晚上，妈妈还做了很丰盛的晚餐，我们全家在父亲节过得非常的开心。这真是一个难忘的父亲节。

Today is fathers day, thinking of what my father had always so hard, I decided to send a gift for dad, but I dont know what is good, all of a sudden, I think of mom and dad so good, there must be some good advice.

"Well, what a good thing you think of a child! I didnt hear how happy I was.

So my mother and I went to a store. What a lot of things in that store! But I thought I was here to buy a razor. So I went straight to the counter where the razor was displayed. I picked it for a while and saw a silver-white razor that was both nice and practical and inexpensive. So I took out the money I had accumulated, and gave it to my boss, and took the silver-white razor and went away with my mother. Walking out of the shop, my mother said to me, "its not so good to send your father. "Well, I dont have enough money." "It doesnt matter. I have money here." So I went to blue house with my mother -- a shop that sells CARDS and presents. Entering the shop, I immediately started to pick. Ive chosen a lovely little card. My mother said I had a good eye.

what s your plan for dragon boat festival?

As a chinese, I was really ashamed of having a little knowledge of dragon boat festival. Perhaps I was born in northern city, though my city is nearby sea, it has been built a U port which I can only see cargo ships and can t see the sweeping ocean. So I have never see the dragon boat contest since I was born. So the dragon boat festival is just a holiday for eating Zong Zi . My mother made Zong Zi when I was a child. Because there was no supermarket, we couldn t buy finished product from market. However, now, we can buy anything in supermarket, so my mother didn t make them anymore. The boat festival began to fade out my mind.

In reality, young people began to have a bug to celebrate foreign festivals, such as Christams, Saint Valentine s day, April Fool s Day, some people also celebrate Easter in church. Talk about Dragon boat festival, it s the same as some foreign conventional festivals, such as Witch s Day in Czech. People burned the witch s puppet so as to welcome spring. Some people are willing to celebrate foreign festivals because they like alien culture. And vice versa, foreigners who like China also concern about Chinese traditional culture.

After new holiday regulation, we have three holidays during the dragon boat festival. So many people will choose this time to travel. People who lived in Xiamen are able to visit Xiapu or Wu Yi mountain, these tourist attractions are in Fujian province,which is suit a short tirp. but I d like to stay at home for my decorate painting. I decide to draw two canvases about Christmas, it s really a big project. Then I ll hang them on the new house wall. I must start it now, or I can t finish them before Christmas eve. But I preceive it s a little difficult to draw them in such a hot season.

It was a very busy evening. I was doing my homework at my home. My father was writing a composition in the study room. My mother was interested in Shanghai opera. She was watching a Shanghai opera contest. The apartment was very quiet. Suddenly the light went out. It was a blackout, but I liked it very much. It came and I didn’t have to do my homework. We went to the living room very slowly. After 5 minutes, we all sat in the sofa. It was a lucky, fortunate day. I said that let’s held a concert. My parents agreed with me. I took out some candles and lighted up. We were singing, laughing and talking. We had a really good time. But while I was singing, the light suddenly turned on. Oh, my God. My father went back to his room went on writing. My mother turned on the TV and said to me “Dear, do your homework!” I felt very frustrated. I sat at the desk and thought I hated light. I hoped there would be a blackout the next day. I thought I would enjoy myself more and more. I went into a dream……

今晚真是个忙碌的晚上。我正在家里写作业，我爸爸正在书房里写作文。我妈妈对上海歌剧感兴趣。她正在看上海歌剧比赛。公寓非常安静。突然间断电了。一切都黑麻麻的，但是我很喜欢。断电了，我就可以不用写作业了。我们慢慢的走向起居室。五分钟后，我们都坐在沙发上。这是一个既幸运又倒霉的一天。我说让我们开个音乐会。 我父母都同意了。我拿出一些蜡烛并点燃它们。我们唱歌，大笑，聊天。我们都玩得很开心但是当我在唱歌时，灯突然亮了。哦，我的上帝啊。我爸爸继续回房间写作文。我妈妈开着电视并对我说“亲爱的，去写作业!”我觉得很沮丧。我坐在桌子边，想我恨灯光。我希望第二天还能够断电。我觉得我会越来越开心的。我陷入了梦境…………

Girls at a training course offered by the "Care for Girls" program in

Qingjian county, Shaanxi province, talked about their pursuit of dreams despite

living in unfavorable conditions.

Initiated by the National Health and Family Planning commission in 2013,

the program helps girls in underdeveloped regions to build their self-esteem and

self-confidence.

"I want to be a teacher teaching Chinese because I like Chinese and

writing," Xi said. "By teaching I can not only share knowledge with my students,

but also keep learning new things from new versions of textbooks."

She is living with her mother in a room that has no bathroom and costs 300

yuan ($48) a month to rent. Merit certificates she received from school are

displayed on the wall. Yan Lingling, Xis mother, said she is proud of her

daughter.

According to the family planning policy, couples in which both the husband

and wife have rural residential permits can have another child if their first is

a daughter. Yan said she isnt planning on adding to the family because she

wants to give her daughter the best she has.

"My husband is away most of the time, working in construction sites and

making no more than 30,000 yuan ($4,840) a year. I work as an hourly worker

sometimes. The rent of our apartment is expensive. One more child means one more

burden," Yan said.

Speaking about how she plans to achieve her dream of becoming a teacher, Xi

said: "I will not give up on my dream easily, though I know it may be difficult.

He always rose early to enjoy at least two hours of solitude in the house

and garden before the rest of the family came down In winter he spent most of

the time reading and writing. In sum mer he liked to get out of doors to work in

the kitchen garden or to take the dog for a walk in the neighbouring woods and

fields Whatever the weather, there was plenty to occupy him.

Although he was a creature of habit, there seemed to be an infinite variety

in his pursuits. He wrote book reviews regularly for two of the national

weeklies. He worked conscientiously his special subject, Indian History, and was

thus one of the world authorities on it;

he collected modern abstract paintings and so had a circle of friends

amongst artists and sculptors; there was hardly anything he did not know about

traditional jazz and he often entertained both British and America n jazz

musicians He was a superb cook and knew a lot about French and German food.

His family adored him and in a sense he was spoiled by them. At first

glance you would have taken him for a retired army officer-his bearing was

erect, his hair was cut short, he was fussy about his clothes, which were always

neat, clean and conventional. He liked to keep fit, and this was reflected in

his clear, steady blue eyes and healthy suntanned complexion. He hardly ever

watched TV, but enjoyed a good film and an occasional evening at the

theatre.
