小时候，友谊是一盒水彩笔，用稚嫩的手涂鸦出一张张五彩缤纷天真无邪的笑脸，一不小心湿了糊了，哦，没关系再画一张更好更真切的。儿时的友谊像一团热烈的火，是肆无忌惮的争辩，是互相赌气撅起的嘴，是共同哄抢的那一大包甜甜的爆米花……友谊是个大大的蜜饯，无论何时尝起，都是美滋滋的。那是童年时的友谊，是一项皇冠，天真为珠宝，烂漫做流苏——那么美丽那么纯真。这是只属于童年那片蔚蓝色天空的友谊——友谊地久天长。

长大了，友谊是一块透明的玻璃，照亮着失败落寞的心。打破了，就很难再拼凑起来，只能躲在一个角落默默地哭泣，默默地醒悟……在哪里跌倒的就在哪里靠自己坚强地爬起来，那是我们成长的足迹。

She is very busy today, just like a busy bee. In the morning, I had two seccsions and after that I had a lesson for my IELTS. I dont even have my lunch. There lots of people in my IELTS class and most of them came from India. The reason why they want to attent this course is similar to me. Right now, I feel exhausted and dont want to work, but I still have lots homework to do.

I also have some other problem. Last term, I decided to start my new term in Newcastle, and asked Jhon to give my money back. And now, I have changed my mind, so told Jhon I did not want my fees back, but she told me the check had been sent out for almost two weeks. I havent received my check until now, and I told her the truth. Finally, she said she would help me to ask finaNcial officer to give me another letter, and then after I sign that form everything will be all right. What a absurd world it is. If I had not asked Jhon to give my fees back, it would have become much easier.

If my boy sleep quietly, he will see the busy bee, when it has made its honey fine, dancing in the bright sunshine. If my boy will slumber, angles without number will draw near, so fair and bright, for they only come at night.

If I were a teacher, I would not treat my students just as some know-nothing kids. I wouldnt give them homework that can never be done.If I were a teacher, I would try my best to let them like me, not be afraid of me. I wouldnt teach them just as if I were a sage. If I were a teacher, I would make friends with my students. I would respect them and understand them. If I were a teacher, I would make study a happy thing to my students, but not a burden to them.

Every body wants to succeed. But when it comes to the question that which

factor leads to success, opportunity or hard-work, different people will offer

different answers.

Some people think that opportunity is the first factor leading to success.

They hold the idea, as a proverb saying, “Man proposes, god disposes”. Because

almost all successful people have good luck and have caught their valuable

opportunities, they believe that opportunity is a leading condition of the

success. If seizes and makes the best use of opportunity available, one can

succeed surely. In summary, to them, chances and lucks play the most important

role on the road to success.

However, others maintain that “no pains, no gains” .Without exerting

oneself, one could never expect to achieve success in no matter what one is

doing. As is known to all, there is no royal road to the summit of success. One

is likely to succeed only when one has worked with whole-hearted devotion and

perseverance. Those who are lazy, sloppy and indifferent to their work, those

who never concentrate on work will definitely end in failure. On the whole, as

far as they are concerned, hard-working is the decisive factor to success.

In my view, both hard work and opportunity eventually matters. They are

inseparable from each other, and put together, they make a great success. Hard

work is to luck what fish is to water, and can be seen as an interior

precondition of success. It lays the corner-stone for building a house while

luck serves to cement it, to make the building bricks adherent to one another.

They are the twins that contribute to success together. They are the factors

from within and without respectively. We must work hard, make efforts and get

prepared. When opportunities come, meet and make full use of them. Only in this

way can we succeed one day.

The saying that practice makes perfect means that after you have plenty of practice in what you are doing, you will be perfect in it. He who practices a lot will master the skill more quickly than he who seldom or hardly practices.

For example, when we learn English, we have to learn grammar, words, expressions and so on. The most important thing may be how to put what we have learned into practice. If you only learn the grammar rules by heart and dont do enough exercises, it is certain that you cant understand them perfectly. But if you practice a lot, maybe you will understand them more deeply and you can find some good methods of applying them. Memorizing English words whenever time permits,we can easily memorize them and can even find a way to memorize them more quickly.

There is another example. A famous singer can sing very welt. Of course, his talent is very important, but practice is necessary. It is necessary to practice to make the singer sing better and better.

It is evident that practice is important for everybody. If you want to improve your study and work, you should remember that practice makes perfect.

There are many forms of life on earth：organisms，animals，plants，and human

beings.Life is given to man only once.And there are many natural disasters that

will destroy life.Since life is short and preeious，everyone wants to enjoy

longevity.

The mode of life differes from person to person.A persons life may be one

of great achievement.He may also lead a quiet life.A career man has a busy

life.A self content man has an easy one.Yet everyone is writing his own life

story with his actions.

The intelligent and diligent person makes his life full of vigor and

vitality.He works and plays with zest.A lazy mans life is dull and

spiritless.While in life he is lifeless.

As a youth，I choose to live a busy and meaningful life.

I seem to recall best a journey we made by tram one winter night.

We were going to visit my Granny at Westoe, and I was very excited, because an evening excursion was something quite unheard of for me. It had been raining; the gas lamps lit the gleaming pavements and cobbles with a doubled radiance. The shaking tram wires were sending down showers of white raindrops. Everything in the ram seemed fresh and glittering. The breezy windows sparkled with long zigzags of rain and the passing street lamp flared gorgeously through the panels of blue and yellow and ruby glass. Outside, it was cold and windy, and we could feel the gale buffeting against the side of the tram, making it sway and lurch ore than usual, and throwing the passengers of song, and the fresh, clean, cold sea-wind was blowing right through the upper deck. Above, a high half-moon seemed to be skidding along on its back through piles of black, white-lined rags. It was a wild night, with a sense of magic in the offing. The people in the tram did not like ordinary mortals; a kind of exhilaratinggaietyhadseizedthem,anditseseememed to lighten their bodies and illuminate their faces. At times I was sure we were really flying.
