Many people dream to live a healthy life. But sometimes they do not have a

full understanding of healthy life. In my mind, a healthy life includes physical

and mental health. People need to have a healthy diet and regular exercise to

make our physical more and more healthy. At the same time, people have to

remember that mental health is also very important. People need to find ways to

relax themselves and keep a good mood every day. At least do not be depressed

for a long time. People can have a healthy life only when they keep a good

health between physical and mental.

Friends are part of people’s life, we can’t live without friends, or we

will be isolated from the society. When we have troubles, most people will think

of their friends in the first time, for they don’t want the parents know their

hard time. While most peole are losing their friends when they don’t know how to

keep friendship.

Before I went to high school, I lived in the coutryside, where I made a lot

of friends. There was a girl who lived next my house was my best friend, we

talked and share about everything. But when I moved to another city, we had to

be aparted, though I promised her that I would write to her as I had the time, I

only insisted for about half a year. Then I met new friend and I became lazy, we

talked less and less, finally, we lose touch.

Now I have new friends, but I still miss my best friend, our friendship is

lossing as our communication stops. No matter how busy we are, we need to keep

in touch with our friends, don’t let the time takes away this precious

relationship.

Water is very important for us. We must drink water everyday. We can’t live without water. Water is everywhere around us. At home, we use water to wash clothes, to wash dishes, to cook rice, to clean the flat, to have showers, to make drinks, to clean our teeth, to have a bath and so on. At work, people use water to put out fires, to grow vegetables, to make things in factories and so on. We also can swim in the sea. Water is important for us, isn’t it?

A poem:

Water has no taste at all.

Water has no color.

Water’s in the waterfall.

The pump.

The tap.

The well.

Water is everywhere around us.

Water is in the rain.

In the stream.

In the pond.

And in the river.

And in the sea again.

There isn’t much water on the earth. we must to save it. It is not inexhaustible.

It is very valuable.

There have been many environmental protection problems in recent years . One of the most serious problem is greenhouse gas emissions have caused climate change ,At the same time ,lots of trees have been used and wasted.So our earth is becoming warmer and warmer . .That brings us illnesses and death.

Luckily ，,many countries have done a lot to stop environmental pollution。Its the most important in the environmental protection today.

In my opinion ,on the one hand ,through education we should make people realize that destroying the environment means destroying ourselves,..On the other hand ,we should try to do something to produce fewer greenhouse gas emissions.

In a word .we must develop low-carbon economy

现在这些年已经有很多关于保护环境的问题。其中最严重的一个问题就是温室气体排放已经造成了气候改变。同时，很多树木被砍伐掉了，而且大量别的资源已经被用完或者浪费。所以我们的地球变得越来越温暖(热)。这样带给我们的是疾病和死亡。。

幸运的是，很多国家已经采取了很多措施来控制环境污染问题。如今，这是最重要保护环境的措施。

我认为，一方面，虽然教育我们应该让人们意识到破坏环境就是伤害人类自己。另一方面，我们应该尽力做一些事情来控制温室气体增长。

总之，我们必须发展低碳经济。

Ill never forget the rainy day which I knew my best friend, Qiaorong

On a rainy day, I failed in the Chinese. When I was crying quietly in the

rain, Qiaorong came and told me, “Don’t be sad, no cross no crown. Believe that

where there is a will, there is a way. Cheer up! I believe youll succeed sooner

or later." With these words, she patted me on the shoulder and took me into the

classroom. Later, the rain stopped, and I saw beautiful rainbow appear and the

sun was shining. Everything became wonderful and l gave her a big smile.

Since then we have been the best friends. We share happiness and sorrow

with each other. We work hard together and have made great progress.

Friendship is something we cant describe well in any language, but

friendship does play an important role in our daily life and a good friend has a

great influence on us.

Tom is my best friend. Who is he? He is a dog. He is a special dog. My

father give him to me at my 10 year birthday. The moment I saw him, I love him.

His fur is white. He is very lovely. He knows how to make me happy. Everyday

when I come back from school, I will play with him. He is also smart. He will

drag my quilt if I sleep late. Besides, if my clock doesn’t alarm in the

morning, he will bark at me. See, he is so clever that I couldnt help loving

him.

machine. They are already widely used in industries and in universities. They are used in many ways.

Computers can do many kinds of work. For example, computers can helps us do maths problems quickly. Some problems are too hard for us to work them out, but computers can. A scientist can ask computers some questions, and the computers can answer on the screen.

In a car-factory computer tells the robots how to do with the cars.

Computers are very useful. So many parents buy computers for their children. They hope computers can help them improve their studies in school, but some children don’t do as what parents want them to do. Because they used the computers for surfing on the Internet and spend too much time playing computer games instead of learning. It does not good for their eyesight. So their parents complain about computers not help children to study but also make them fall behind.

In many companies computers instead of workers to work. So many people lose their jobs. So many workers think computers bring them a lot of trouble.

If computers are good for us or bad for us it’s hard to say so I hope computers will be used in the right way.

As a saying goes, success is equal to %99 sweat plus 1% inspiration. Its

true that if you want to succeed , you have to work hard.

As all of us know, a strong will, perseverance , confidence and diligence.

.. Are the essentials factors of success. Firstly I think man of strong will and

perseverance always has an aggressive spirit. He can stick to his cause no

matter how tough it might be. Secondly he should be full of confidence . He

shows no frustration and powerlessness in the face of difficulty, but with

confidence and strength soar he is ready to meet the next difficulty. So,

believe yourself and trust yourself is the most important thing. Find something

you really interest and trying to do it until then you will find everything is

so easy. Because you begin to take your first step, dont worry and keep

learning also dont give it up. Thirdly diligence plays an important role on the

way to our success. As the saying goes: "Diligence is the means by which one

makes up for ones dullness". And life is short and we have too much to do .

Without diligence, no one can achieve anything. Whats more, modesty is also one

of the factors to ones success. There is an old saying: "Modesty helps one to

progress and

pride makes one leg behind. " Everyone has his own strong points of which

he may have too high an opinion. The important thing is to be modest and learn

from othersstrong points. A modest person never hesitates to consult those who

are inferior to him. For he understands that the range of knowledge is larger

.

In a word, a man who wants to be triumphant must have a strong will, be

confident, be diligent. As a saying goes: "no pains, no gains! "

Parents to our love is meticulous, their love always with us. Now, we want to use the grateful heart to repay their parents.

Parents and nurturing since childhood to the big us, about how much love we pour! Dont we should thank them? Perhaps some people think its no big deal, if this understanding is wrong. In a word, I think parents love is beyond expression. And some let us listen to bother "nag", also contain the parents of our deep love. As they were leaving the mother a charge: "be careful on the road!" , "the road slowly!" Infinite embodies the parents of our caring. On one occasion, my mother said to me he when I rode a bike to school, heart in her throat. Visible parents about how much we care!

Aging parents day by day, but we are growing up day by day. We cannot to parents "winter is warm, summer is part of the morning is province, faint is." At the very least ought to be "parents call, do not delay, parents life, do not lazy, parents teach, must respect, parents, must be suitable bearing. The will, the will face." We must learn to understand, to understand the world parents heart! We should be doing little things for parents, even washing dishes, a tow, wipe the table, poured a glass of water for the parents... Help your parents. To the best of our filial piety.

Parents are our parents, are our partners, and take care of us and raising us. We should thank our parents for us the care and support. You did wrong, parents sometimes harsh rebuke. See the exam is, parents will be criticism, even beat and scold! Dont think their parents what is bad, that is hate iron not to produce! We dont wrong about the hardest thing in the world who love us!

Now, let us learn to Thanksgiving! Have a grateful heart, people become more noble, the world will become more beautiful!

父母对我们的爱是无微不至的，他们的爱时时伴随着我们。现在，我们要用感恩的心来回报父母。

父母把我们从小养育大，对我们倾注了多少爱呀!难道我们不应该感恩他们吗?或许有些人认为这没什么大不了的，如果这样理解就错了。总之，我觉得父母的爱是无法用语言来表达的。又是一些让我们听着烦的"唠叨",也包含着父母对我们深深的爱。临出门时母亲一句嘱咐："路上小心!"，"路上慢点儿!"都体现着父母对我们的无限牵挂。有一次，妈妈对我说他每当我骑着自行车去学校的时候，心都提到了嗓子眼儿。可见父母对我们是多么的牵挂啊!

父母一天一天的衰老了，而我们却一天一天的长大了。我们对父母虽不能"冬则温，夏则凊，晨则省，昏则定。"最起码应该"父母呼，行勿缓，父母命，行勿懒，父母教，须敬听，父母责，须顺承。出必告，反必面。"我们要学会懂事，明白天下父母心!我们应该为父母做一些小事，哪怕是洗一洗碗，拖一拖地，擦一擦桌子，为父母倒一杯水……帮一下父母。尽一下我们的孝心。

父母是我们的家长，是我们的伙伴，也是照顾我们和养育我们的人。我们应该感谢父母对我们的照顾和养育之恩。自己做错了，父母有时会严厉的责备。看是考砸了，父母会批评，甚至打骂!不要认为自己的父母是怎样的不好，那是恨铁不成钢啊!我们不要错怪这世上最疼爱我们的人啊!

现在，让我们学会感恩吧!有了感恩的心，人会变得更高尚，人间也会变得更加美好!

每个人都要懂得感恩，学会感恩。感恩父母，感恩父母给予我们的一切，在人生的道路上，是谁给了你生命，是谁教会你做人的道理，又是谁在你失败的时候给予你鼓励……当然是你的父母，是他们给予了你无穷的爱。

One should know how to Thanksgiving, the Institute of Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving parents, Thanksgiving parents give everything we have, on the road of life, who gave you life, who is to teach you the truth in life, it is you who give when you fail to encourage...... Of course, your parents, is that they give you endless love.

他们想高山之巅的晨曦，照亮了昏暗的大地;他们像雨后的彩虹，温暖着每个人的心;他们想蔚蓝的天空，人红了整个人间!他们是多么伟大啊，不但给予了我们生命还给了我们无穷的爱，给了我们一个生存的余地。

They want to the top of the mountain in the morning, lit up the dark earth; they like the rainbow after the rain, warm the heart of each person; they want to the blue sky, red throughout the world! How great they are ah, not only gives us life, gave us the infinite love, give us a room for survival.

啊!父亲母亲，你们真伟大，用你们的心血染红了整片蓝天，用你们的爱心描绘了整个天地!

Ah! Father, mother, you are great, your blood dyed the whole sky, with your love to describe the whole world!

感恩，这个词我们要时时刻刻铭记在心，感恩父母给我们的一切，滴水之恩应当涌泉相报，即使报答不完，但感恩这个词一定要时时刻刻铭记在心间。

The word of gratitude, we should always bear in mind, Thanksgiving parents give us everything, even should Tu Yongquan, repay, but Thanksgiving is the word we must always bear in mind.

父亲，母亲，感谢你们对我的帮助，我此时此刻只想对你们说句谢谢你，我亲爱的爸爸妈妈，我爱你们，感谢你对我的爱，那份独一无二的爱感谢你们，爸爸妈妈。

Father, mother, thank you very much for your help, I now just want to say to you, my dear father and mother, I love you, thank you for my love, that the one and only love thank you, mom and dad.

每个人都要学会感恩，懂得感恩，只有这样，世界才会更加美好!

Everyone should learn to be grateful, grateful, only in this way, the world will be more beautiful!

Everyone has pressure, as long as you have things done or to heart, the pressure will go unnoticed in the attachment in the mans body, cause all sorts of "symptoms", for example: cant sleep, reduce appetite, or in a bad mood... And so on.

My pressure is not home after finish homework cant write, often busy to midnight; Dads pressure is accounting work done; Mothers pressure because he was a career woman, a candle burning at both ends and worry cant give attention to both family and work is good, and her sisters pressure is myopic degree increased very fast, it is difficult to control.

Pressure are not necessarily bad, there are also some is good. The rules in our class, for example: not diligent student didnt change class will not be able to finish homework, because of the pressure, a heartbreaker for these people, finally they decided to change my homework finished, also get real learning, no longer look for excuses to slack off. So the pressure is often motivates us go forward.

Large and small pressure exists in our life, we should be appropriate to adjust the mood, the pressure into power, so as to let the life become more colorful.

人人都有压力，只要有事情做不完或想不开时，压力就会神不知鬼不觉的附着在那个人的身上，引起各种“症状”，例如：睡不着觉、食欲降低或心情不好……等。

我的压力是补习回家后功课写不完，常常忙到三更半夜;爸爸的压力是会计工作做不完;妈妈的压力是因为他身为职业妇女，一只蜡烛两头烧，担心家庭跟工作没办法兼顾好，而姐姐的压力是近视的度数增加的非常快，很难控制。

压力不一定都是坏的，也有一些是好的。以我们班上的规定为例：不用功的学生没改完作业就不能下课，因为这个压力，让这些人伤透了脑筋，最后他们终于决定把作业改完，也获得真正的学习，不再找借口偷懒。所以压力常常会督促着我们勇往直前。

大大小小的压力存在我们的生活当中，我们应该适当的调适心情，把压力化为助力，这样才能让生活变得多采多姿。

Chinese food is famous all over the world, if you ask a foreigner how about Chinese food, they will be full of praise。

中国的美食在全世界都是出名的，一提到中国食物，他们都会赞不绝口。

When we see the movie, Chinese food is praised by the people. Recently, there is a famous movie called A Bite of China, the movie is popular, it introduces Chinese food from different places. The audience is attracted by the delicious food, they never thought Chinese food would be so various. Now the second part of the movie has been made out, more and more Chinese traditional food has been introduced. After appreciating the movie, I begin to learn more about Chinese food, I want to have taste of them. I am so proud of our food, when we talk about it to foreign friends, we can feel their favor of our food. The food is part of our culture, they should be inherited.

当我们看到电影时，中国的食物广泛受到人们的赞扬。最近，有一部很出名的电影叫《舌尖上的中国》，电影很受欢迎，介绍了来自中国不同地方的食物。观众受到了这些美味的食物吸引，他们从来没想到中国的食物可以有这么多的种类。现在电影的第二部分也已经上映，介绍了越来越多的中国传统美食。欣赏了电影以后，我开始学着了解更多中国的美食，我想要尝一尝。我为我们国家的食物感到自豪，当我们和外国朋友讨论中国食物时，我们能感觉到他们对我们食物的喜爱。这些食物是我们文化的一部分，应该要传承下来。

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.

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.

It is a celebrating day. I got in touch with Michael whom I have been losing contact for one year.

It is really magic. I was searching online aimlessly yesterday when an idea struck me suddenly: since Ben can find out my secret by keying in my name in the search engines, why can’t I do so, either?

I intended to find out something about Ben in revenge in the first place, but soon extend my name list to a wider category. It was then that I recalled Michael suddenly.

We have lost contact since our last correspondence in my senior 3. He mentioned to me in his last letter that he was preparing for going to UK to further his education. I, shamefully, was too busy to reply his mail then. When I was recommended to ZJU and won the final freedom, I thought he had already been in UK so I had no idea where to write him.

I used to think that we would never meet again. However, when I browsed the entries about him, I found out excitedly that he is still in P.R.C.!!

Without a moment hesitation, I ran upstairs to my dorm and found out my old address book. Thank goodness, his home no was still there.

After 3 times calling with no answer replies, I eventually got him on the phone. He was more surprised than I could imagine that when I asked for his hp no he was too nervous to remember it. :P Hehe.

Life is enjoyable in moments such like this. Old friends meet again surprisingly, on a road of their own ways to their dreams. they look at the face of each other, and recognize the old pal. It is such moment that makes me feel grateful to life: whenever I set off for a new destination, I see I have friends in the same direction, with whom I won’t feel alone any more.

Many years ago, the movie about the youth became very popular, every year,

we can see many hot movies about the protagonist’s passed youth. People like to

recall their passed youth, which makes such movies sell good. But I find the

common things about these movies, all the protagonists’ youth are about

fighting, love and other negative things. I understand the directors’ intention,

they want to tell people youth is not perfect and having pities. Of course movie

is exaggerating, the real youth is about studying, at least, most people have

worked so hard to get into their ideal colleges. What the movies describe make

up some people’s youth, for which they don’t have the chance to experience. We

should not be misled by these movies, for the teenagers, their job is to study,

so that they can have a bright future.

This summer vacation, because mom and dad to go to work, as usual, I go home, because I am more introverted personality, mom feel to give me a cake, it make me increase the chance of meeting people, learning some knowledge, summer holidays are still let me really let me a headache.

After go in, I saw one man sat on a small wooden bench, I cant help but think: this is the nursery? Havent I how this group of children. I wanted to think, and then found a small wooden bench to sit down, and the bench is too small to bearing force is insufficient, plus I chubby, bench almost to be overwhelmed. "Jingle bell" finally class, the teacher told us the stance of the host, how to vividly to introduce myself, at this point, Ive just had a little bit on the cram school. But the age difference with other classmates or embarrassing me. At the end of the first class, the teacher also let the parents in auditing students introduce themselves. Well, I will be like the little avoid performance which in turn, I cant help but feel very hurt. When I played seriously, the audience a group of parents might see me with other children age difference, could not help but laugh, suddenly, a thick hate to my heart, I hate this interest class, hate with this group of children, also hate these parents laugh. Mother after listening to my protest, afraid that her child is too small I cant adapt to, and teachers coordinate pulled out of the cake course.

Left the golden microphone host interest after work, I on to the second class interest class - the international phonetic alphabet. In after I am very surprised, because this is big and my age children in the class. Finds a seat, I also see the teacher, "wow, too good, is Mr Zhu", I used to English class is on her, my heart secretly pleased. A tall, thin boy became my deskmate, my deskmate also chatted with me, we talk about the game, chat to play, a lot of common language, therefore became good friends. I like go to class every day, has a strong interest on British standard, tested after the training for us, I also did very well in the last exam.

I think will do this summer vacation interest class, age, there are many students can chat, to both the interest and learn knowledge.

今年暑假，因为爸爸妈妈要上班，我照例回老家过，由于我性格较内向，妈妈觉得要给我报一个兴趣班，说是让我增加与人交往机会，学习一些知识，暑假还让我上课真令我头疼。

这天，爷爷奶奶带着我来到妈妈事先给我联系好的 “金话筒主持人”兴趣班，我将在这里上我的暑假第一课。进去后，只见一个个小人坐在小板凳上，我不禁心想：这是托儿所吗?怎么这群孩子都没我大。我想了想，随即找了个小板凳坐了下来，可板凳太小了承重力不足，加上我偏胖，板凳几乎要被压垮。“叮铃铃”终于上课了，老师给我们讲了主持人的站姿，如何生动地进行自我介绍，此时，我才对这个补习班产生了一丝丝好感。但是与其他同学年龄的差异还是令我尴尬。第一节课快结束时，老师又让家长们进来旁听同学们的自我介绍。唉，我要与这群小不点轮流表演，我不禁感到十分排拆。当我认真表演完了，台下一群家长可能看到我与其他小孩的年龄差异，禁不住大笑，顿时，一股浓浓的恨意在我心头产生，我讨厌这个兴趣班，讨厌和这群小孩一起，也讨厌这些家长们的笑声。妈妈听我抗议后，怕同班小孩太小我不能适应，和老师协调退出了这个兴趣班。

离开了“金话筒主持人”兴趣班后，我又马不停蹄的来到了第二个兴趣班——国际音标班。进去之后我十分惊喜，因为这个班里都是和我年龄差不多大的孩子。我找了个位子坐下，再看看老师，“哇，太好了，是朱老师”，我以前英语辅导班就是在她那上的，我心中窃喜。一个又高又瘦的男孩成了我的同桌，我同桌也和我聊了聊，我们聊游戏，聊打球，共同语言很多，因此成了好朋友。我每天很喜欢去上课，对英标产生了浓厚的兴趣，培训结束后对我们进行了测试，我还考出了优异的成绩。

我觉得暑假兴趣班就要这样，大家年龄差不多，有许多可以聊的同学，才能既有兴趣，又学到知识。

Dear Sir,

I am working on a new project which is called A Survey of New Industry in the Maywood District. According to the design of our district, we need information about firms that have recently moved into this area. Your firm is one of the largest of these, so I shall be very grateful if you can spare the time to help me.

Three points are specially important to the project. The first one is the training schemes for school leavers. The second one is about the transport arrangements to overcome poor road and rail links in this district. The third is the plans for expansion.

Any other information will be useful, but those points are the ones with which I most need your help.

I am enclosing an information form for you to fill in. I hope you can post it to us as soon as possible. I apologize for adding to your work with this request, but I do hope that you will feel able to assist me.

I would be most grateful for your favorable consideration of this request.

Yours faithfully,

Mary Spencer

Since we were born, we are meant to face the stage of study and work until

we retire, which seems everybody does the same thing in their life. They start

to wonder about the meaning of life. In my opinion, the meaning of life lies in

study and finding the right place.

Study comes first for human being. Since we learn the knowledge, we get to

know about the world. The more we learn, the more we want to search for the

unknown knowledge. The world is beautiful because of diversity, and there are so

many amazing scenery waiting for us to discover. At the process of searching the

knowledge, we also become mature and have our own thinking.

Finding the place in the world is the basic task for us. The purpose of

knowledge is to master some skills, so as to get accustomed to the world and

know what we want to do and what we can bring to the world. The value we create

can bring happiness to people we love and make a contribution to the world.

Life is short, but we keep searching all the time.
