Dear Santa Claus,

Hello! Im Yoyo. Do you remember? You have on Christmas Eve, give me a lot

of crayons, colored paper, pencil case. As a thank-you, I put cookies in my

Christmas stocking. Thank you for so many years of hard work, so that every one

of our children can receive gifts. I was very happy when I received your gift

last year. I went to my school to tell my classmates that I received your gift.

But It never occurred to me that my classmates would not believe it. But Im not

paying attention to them! Because mama said, "As long as you have something

beautiful to look forward to, something beautiful will always be around you."

For our children, you are the most amiable and respectable person in the world,

you gave us each of the children most hope of the gift.

I have a wish to let the construction engineers build the house up the

chimney in the future, so that your work will be more convenient and

labor-saving. If you are too busy next Christmas Eve, you can take me with you

and help you send gifts together. I want to thank you face to face for your care

in these years.

Finally, I also want to say to you: Dear Santa Claus, this Years Christmas

Eve, I want to learn a skill, I hope I can talk with small animals, so I can

know what they are thinking, also know what they need, in this beautiful

Christmas Eve, I also want to give them a gift!

Its getting late. Thats all. Good night and a good dream.

I like your youyou

Time is like a river that never stops, in a hurry and quietly flowing through the people. Unwittingly, a memorable 20XX year in a hurry, ushered in a new year, the beginning of another journey. I opened my eyes for 20XX.

Our class held a celebration of new years day in 20XX. Before our beginning, our teacher repeatedly told our classmates that the blackboard must be well decorated. Our team activities today can only begin. The host announced the 5 (8) class, celebrating the beginning of the new years day. First, the "Fan Dance" of group 48, dancing in the fan dance, like a Wei Xianzi

My dear:

This is the first time Ive ever sat at my computer and written to you so

late. I must have a reason for doing this.

Now I will tell you my feelings humbly, because I dont want to

misunderstand you easily. Today, I made our photo in my dorm room and set it as

a screensaver. I miss you, I want to tell you my happiness. But the answer you

gave me was truly astonishing.

Text messages dont come back, you can do that. I cant believe it. I dare

not connect you who are indifferent to me with you who are committed to me.

Who was the man lying beside me who came to see me the day before

yesterday?

Who left me yesterday and kissed me at the station?

Can you tell me?

I am angry. Why should I be angry? I am so happy. Waiting for your text

message, waiting for your call. I wait for you.

However, I came to a deep silence and your indifference.

Now the sisters in the bedroom are all asleep. But Im writing a letter.

Even if I hadnt written, I couldnt sleep. Because Im crying.

Am I sad? I dont know.

You know what? I think you lied to me.

Maybe you dont love me as much as you say.

To you, my existence is just the icing on the cake. You are more successful

and satisfied with me. Without me, your life will still be so wonderful. So, you

can be so cool, so cool.

When Im with you, treat me well. When Im not, treat me as if I dont

exist.

Maybe you should say youre busy. Busyness is relative. Youre busy during

the day. Youre busy at night, too. May I ask what you are doing? !

Can be busy to a message also reluctant to send it?

Look in your inbox and your outbox for yourself. You get the idea.

Darling, I want to love you well. Because I think you love me.

However, I am a selfish person.

If your love for me continues like this. Thats what youre going to end up

with.

Then you will know how I feel. Since ancient times is lost just know how to

cherish.

Im not gonna send you a text back. Im not taking a call from you. I

disappeared. Youll never find me again.

Please dont make me sad any more. My feelings for you are limited, and so

are my tears. I promised you I wouldnt break up with you again. So I wont

say.

Two days ago, I was very sad, but you came, I was dizzy with happiness, I

am happy, I am blindly happy.

But I didnt think this was just the beginning.

Im so tired!

I clearly feel your speechless and indifferent to me.

Do you love me? Do you love me? Do you spoil me?

I dont know.

If you love me, please prove it with your actions.

If you love me, please dont think once and for all.

If you spoil me, please dont keep your high profile.

Finally, Ill tell you. I am fragile, but I beg for your love. Although,

you say firmly, I leave you, I cant find, you love me so much.

But Ill tell you something. Even if later no one loves me, I do not want

to love you so humble.

Is love so cheap to you as entertainment in your spare time? Do you talk

with you when you are lonely?

I also have my business, however, I would like to separate out to miss you.

While youre busy. You a student so busy, I dare to expect you to work in the

future, will give me a phone call, a text message?

Are you looking for a wife? What do you think your wife does? Is it the toy

in your hand? In a good mood to tease! Busy just throw aside, do not ask.

What you have done and what you have promised is entwined in my heart,

making my heart ache. I began to ask myself, "Does he love me?"

If this is love, if this is love, if this is his model of love.

So, what do I do?

In my heart of hearts, I clearly know that people can not change for

someone, change is not this person.

So, I dont have any requirements, from then on, you can do whatever you

want, you can talk to me whenever you want.

Write here, you send me a message to say, we normal point love it!

I think its normal. But is our relationship normal?

What boyfriend can have you so arrogant, so high profile! Did you give me

the cold shoulder? Youre thinking, just leave it here and youll be fine.

Youll be your wife.

I love you?

Now I want to say, I hate you.

I hate your promises to me. I hate your love for me.

Honey, I tell you, Im angry, disappointed, sad, upset, and hate you.

You drive me crazy. Madness is followed by long apathy.

The opposite of love is indifference, not ruthlessness.

Youre gone, youre in your own city, youre completely different.

If there is any grievance in your heart, you say! If you think you dont

want to talk to me, go ahead! If you want to leave me, you say!

If you dont love me, you are brave to tell me. You have to trust in my

resilience. You say you do not love me, say a few more times I believe. Just

like you say you love me, say it more times and Ill believe it. I believe

you.

Ha ha...

I dont know why, Im heartbroken. This doesnt feel good. Because Im

afraid of heartache. In order not to heartache, I will run. Will choose habits

without you. Why, you make my heart ache? Im afraid of pain. What shall I do?

Is it true that only do not fall in love will not hurt?

Dont I have any other choice?

Your tone of voice to me, is I good for nothing, and then you pain, you

speechless. Is that hard for you when youre with me? My dear? ! Do you find it

so hard?

Do you feel so tired? Is it so hard to cheer me up? Is that whats

bothering you? Or am I too tough? Ha ha...

This is my letter to you. What shall I do in the future? I dont know.

But, I know, It hurts. I dont want to do anything. Dont give me any more

lessons. Too many people in the world are too self-righteous. Too many people

are poor teachers. I want a husband who loves me, not a university professor or

a government worker!

Even if you are Song Shiming, I am Seaweed. Song Shiming is not going to

talk about the financial crisis to Seaweed! And youre not really successful

yet!

Finally, I want to ask you, who am I to you, are you in the right

place?

Where do you go from here? !

Also: Happy Christmas Eve to you!

We all wish (hope) to be happy， so we should take good care of our

health。

Health is the best treasure (which) a man can possess。 Money can do many

things， but it cannot buy happiness。 However， so long as man has good health， he

can enjoy the pleasures of human life。

In order to insure good health we must pay attention to three things。 They

are-nourishing food， fresh air and proper exercise。

我们大家都期望快乐，所以我们就应好好保重健康。一个病人因为失去健康而很少快乐。

健康是一个人所能拥有最好的财富。钱能做许多事情，但是它却不能购买。然而，只要一个人有良好的健康，他就能享受人生的乐趣。

为了保证良好的健康，我们务必注意三件事情。它们是营养食物，新鲜空气和正当运动。

Many classmates ask me about my plan for summer holiday. How I wish I could have a colorful and fruitful holiday, so I have decided to do a part-time job during the summer vacation. On the one hand, I can earn some pocket money by doing a part-time job. I can spend them freely, because they are earned by myself. On the other hand, I can accumulate some practical experience by doing a part-time job. They can’t be learned in the class or from text books. Besides, I will go over my study and do some preview. I don’t want to waste the summer holiday.

Oh! Spring is coming.

Spring is the first season of a

year .The weather is warm and windy . It rains a lot .Look! All the things are reviving. The world is colorful. The trees and grass are green.

Flowers are beautiful. Some are

red,some are yellow,some are purple. The birds are flying in the blue sky. The bees are singing. They are very busy. The butterflies are dancing in the garden. The children are

playing games. I can wear my shirts . I often plant trees and go hiking . I like spring very much.

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！

晚上，我们吃完饭，就趁着这好天气好风景来到阳台上放烟花， “嘭、嘭、嘭！”那一朵朵烟花绽放在我们的头顶上非常漂亮！啊，今天这个年过得还真是有味！

Open the door， is a "good new year， ha — horse — Happy New Year！" Wow， even now， even Mandarin is not very good uncle also has a fluent English， he said， he is buying now， this sentence is just from his son learned。

"Well， its the new year， the new year is the most uninteresting， I know that watching TV at home， there is nothing to do！ Oh。。。 " I think the children now have the same idea as I do。 After all， now the new year a little atmosphere are not before， every family is busy hanging red lanterns， paste "Fu"， there is a hurry to buy Eight Delicacies Rice reunion！ At the beginning of the year we got up early in the morning and went out to the door in groups。 Our children were playing at home， and then we had a reunion dinner together。 But now its very different， and now even when the new year， I will forget， the day before the year of the year are asking when to celebrate the New Year！

In the morning， I was dragged up by my mom and dad。 I only drank a glass of milk and ran to the living room to watch TV and prepare to kill time。 At this time， mom and dad said to me while watching TV， dozing： no need to watch TV， lets go out to play。 "Do you have a place to play？" "Yes， you do not forget， now we live here all know， dont worry about no one to play！" Mom and dad said excitedly。 We went to the nearest family。 Open the door， is a "good new year， ha — horse — Happy New Year！" Wow， even now， even Mandarin is not very good uncle also has a fluent English， he said， he is buying now， this sentence is just from his son learned。 Although it is not standard， but under the guidance of my master， you cant say that you are a little better。 As their family did not have a good meal， the three of our family went on again。 Later， we not only visit their new house， also said the new year， how happy ah ah！ They have gone from door to door， and now its time to rest and rest。 People play chess on the balcony。 Look， they are also excited to say "go out"。 Some are playing mahjong， all want to take advantage of this new year with a good hand！ Some of the guests， watching the fish， those naughty fish from the rockery stones in the turn， let the guests can not help but stick to tease them。 And we children， ha， watching TV watching TV， playing computer and playing computer， are also very happy！

At night， we eat a meal， take advantage of the fine weather and scenery came to the balcony fireworks， "bang， bang， bang！" That blossoming flower blossomed on our head very beautifully！ Ah， this year is really good for this year！

It was a fine day today and the sun was bright. I visited Beijing Zoo with

my classmate, He Song. The animals were so interesting that all the people loved

them. When a bear asked for some food by waving its ann, a visitor threw

something to it. At once I went up to him and said without thinking,Dont do

that. Its bad for it. If you really love them, take good care of them. His

face turned red and answered he wouldnt do that again.

More and more middle school students use WeChat. Different students have

different opinions about using it.

Some students think WeChat is a very useful tool. It can provide a platform

to communicate with their friends. Besides they can make more friends and learn

more knowledge by WeChat. However, some students think WeChat will affect their

study if they spend too much time using it. And they may be tricked by strange

net friends. Last but not least, it will also affect their vision to use WeChat

for a long time.

In my opinion, we should use WeChat properly by not using it more than two

hours a day, and make sure that we dont use it when we are studying. In

addition, we shouldnt add strangers or meet net friends casually.

The main importance of goal setting is that it provides us with direction and purpose. When we have goals, we know what we want to achieve so that we can focus our mindson a single worthwhile target and avoid getting distracted easily. Personal goal setting also provides us with motivation to achieve what we want to achieve.

Goal setting is of especial significance for today’s students. A study reveals that when students set goals, they learn the importance of taking responsibility, of minimizing excuses and of helping others. Goal setting is a lifelong skill that first helps students succeed in school and then later in life.

Dear Mary,

I am sorry to trouble you, but nobody would come into my mind to help me

except you.

You know, I had planned this holiday for several years. A t last, my dream

came true. You could imagine how excited I was. My mind was completely occupied

with the holiday. I forgot to collect my laundry. I dont know if you can help

me collect my laundry. I sent the laundry to the Johns. It is the one down the

corner on St. Peters Street. You cant miss it, because the house is painted

green-a big green house. I have got two pairs of trousers, three shirts, one

T-shirt and a blanket. Call a taxi to send you home. I will pay you back when I

am home.

My first stop is London. It is raining. The streets are very clean. How I

wish I could have the chance to see the famous London fog. But someone told me

that was already the history. One can only read things like that about London in

books.

My best wishes to you.

Yours sincerely,

Peter Chen

Film Review of Pride and Prejudice

Pride and Prejudice is a famous classic written by Jane Austen. I was attracted by the characters and plots of the film adapted from the novel.

Elizabeth is the heroine of the story. When she meets Darcy, a handsome, rich but arrogant man, on the party for the first time, she is dissatisfied with the proud manner of Darcy. Darcy looks down on those who are in a lower social class,

including Elizabeth. However, after getting to know the courage, independence and confidence of Elizabeth, he almost falls in love with her. But Elizabeth believes the lies of Wickham which causes her great prejudice to Darcy. She rejects Darcy’s propose marriage to protect her self-respect. Finally, Darcy goes away because he couldn’t tolerate Elizabeth’s sisters’ vulgar manners. He writes a long letter to explain his thoughts and love to Elizabeth. After reading it, Elizabeth feels guilty about

misjudging Darcy and regrets turning him down. As time goes away, Darcy gradually improves his pride and keeps helping Elizabeth’s family out from troubles. At last, Elizabeth removes the prejudice to Darcy and accepts his propose marriage.

From the film I learn that we can’t judge a man immediately by the first impression. If we are controlled by our subjective senses, it will easy cause prejudice and

misunderstanding and probably influent the developments of many events. To avoid this situation, we need more communication to understand others deeply by ourselves.

My Favorite Holiday

我最喜欢的节日

My favorite holiday is New Year. It is a very important festival in Chinese culture. In fact, its the highlight of the year. Everyone returns home for a family reunion. We have a big feast and chat about all the things that have happened in our lives. People also visit each other. We exchange gifts and good wishes for the next year.

我最喜欢的节日是新年。在中国文化中，新年是一个非常重要的节日。事实上，它是一年中最好的（日子）。每个人都回家与家人团聚。我们有一个比较大的盛会并且（与他人）畅聊所有发生在我们生活中的事。人们总是互相拜访。我们交换礼物和来年的祝福。

New Year is especially fun for kids. Thats because we get

presents and treats, including red envelopes filled with money. But we never forget that this holiday is a time to give thanks. We feel grateful for our family and the things that we have. Finally, we think about the future and the great year ahead. 对孩子来说，新年是一个特别快乐（的日子）。因为我们可以得到礼物和乐趣，这其中就包括红包。但我们从未忘记新年是一个给予（他人）感恩的日子。我们对家人以及拥有的事物感恩。最后，我们考虑未来和美好的新一年。

Someone said, "if a man has a certain goal and keeps working hard for it, he will succeed."Is that true?

Once upon a time a fisherman made a vow before each fish.What is the highest price on the market is ready to catch, but not to want.The result had to go away empty-handed and finally died in the cold.The fisherman is not without goals, but is unrealistic.So the goal of life is to choose.

If the Louvre catches fire, which picture do you save?Many people want to save the Mona Lisa, the famous writer Bernard

The answer is: "I saved the painting that was closest to the exit."His reasoning: "the best goal of success is not the most valuable one, but the most likely one."This little story tells us that choosing goals must be the most likely.Because when you pursue the most valuable target -- the Mona Lisa, its very likely that no one will be rescued, and youll be buried in flames.We can only choose the most likely goal, which is to cut the right target.

My goal in life was to be the best parent of my parents, and to be the best student at school, I would be the most outstanding person in society.Such a goal makes me very tired, no matter how hard I try, I cant be the best.So I reestablished my goal, to be filial children, to be one of the outstanding students.The goal is realistic, and Im getting closer to that goal.I am confident that I will achieve this goal, so I am happy every day.It will come to society and my goal is to be a peoples policeman.Because I believe that I will be able to protect the peoples property.When I think of my goals, I cant help but be angry and have a special spirit.

My favorite sports is playing basketball. I liked playing basketball when I

was a child. I think playing basketball is a very interesting and healthy

sports. Usually, after class, I always go to play basketball with my friends.

Meanwhile, it is beneficial for our health to play basketball. Most importantly,

playing basketball can makes me become stronger. Besides, I can also get the

opportunity to comunicate with each other, which makes me get well along with my

classmates. In short, I can benefit a lot from palying baketball reasonably

every day.

Dear Father Christmas,

So my friend has asked me to write to you... I have to confess its been

hard to know what to say. Mainly because like most adults I feel preposterous

asking anything of you because our time with you is surely done. Now we get our

own presents, control our own fates, take responsibility for our own actions,

and live in the world we have created... so its not for us to turn around and

plead for your help with the environment, the migrant crisis, the NHS,

education, food banks, human rights, fundamentalism and wars. Though God knows

we need all the help we can get with all these man-made problems and more.

And its not that you arent compassionate and full of joy. Youre great.

In spite of you being changed into different colours for corporations and being

bastardised to represent materialism gone mad - despite probably originating in

some season based pagan druid ritual a million thought miles from requests for

spontaneously combusting hoverboards... Kidadults cynically pointing this out

after having their moment of belief in you are wasting everyones precious time.

Because you are not for them. You are for the children. Children who need some

magic in a world where the borders between innocence and responsibility, playful

imagination and cold, adult obstacles are continually shrinking.

This is what Id like to ask you to help with. A little more time for

children to be children. Stretch the moment of magic and playfulness. Distract

them from the realities of a world gone mad so that they can laugh with their

breath rather than sob with their tears. Especially those caring for family

members, or suffering illness, hunger or poverty. Especially those hiding in

buildings as bombs rain down, or being handed shaking with fear or cold into a

boat to escape environmental disaster or war. Please help to light up their

worlds with a moment of joy and hope.

When I think about it youve got it tough this year... And when I really

think about it Im not sure that asking you for a lightsaber and getting one

(not that I ever did by the way) is equatable with controlling the space time

continuum and making the good of childhood last a little longer.

But you do inspire wonder and awe amongst those that write you letters and

go to sleep hoping there might be a new object in their possession come dawn.

You inspire good behaviour and, at least in my memory, some desperate last

minute attempts to redeem bad behaviour so as not to be overlooked. Spare a

thought too for those millions who want to write to you but through illiteracy

cant. Hear their words and help to give them the time and chance to learn how

to read and write so they can better their lives and escape their impoverished

beginnings.

I feel a little sorry for you. And I guess Ive done exactly what I said I

wouldnt... Asked you to help with adult problems and solve some of the greatest

worries we have for our children. I promise to leave some extra port and mince

pies for you!

Lots of love

Benedict

亲爱的圣诞老人：

我的朋友叫我写信给你……我真的不知道该对你说什么。主要因为跟大部分成年人一样，我觉得跟你要东西似乎很荒谬，因为我们和你已经没有交集了。如今我们自己给自己买礼物，掌控自己的命运，为自己的行为负责，并且生活在我们自己创造的世界里……所以我们没有理由找你帮忙解决这些问题，比如环境问题、移民危机、NHS医保系统、教育、食物银行、人权、原教旨主义和战争。尽管上帝知道，我们需要各种援助去解决这些人为的危机和麻烦。

我并不是说你没有同情心或不乐观。你很伟大。尽管你被各种大公司篡改的面貌全非;被妖魔化以代表那疯狂的拜金主义——简直像异教徒的仪式那样，每到这个季节就要用礼物填满欲望，比如那种可能会自燃的悬滑板。那些童心未泯的成年人竟然生气地认为你是在浪费每个人的宝贵时间，却忘了他们自己也曾相信你。因为你不属于成年人，而是属于孩子们的。孩子们需要一些魔力，因为这个世界上，天真与责任、欢乐的想象力与冷漠以及成人障碍之间的界限正在不断的缩小。

这才是我想求你援助的。让孩子们的童年更长久些吧。延长那充满魔力与乐趣的时刻。让孩童们忽略这疯狂又现实的世界，让他们拥有欢笑而非流泪。尤其是那些过早需要承担家庭责任或身患疾病的孩子们，又或者是那些遭受饥饿与贫穷的孩子们。尤其是那些躲在位于枪林弹雨的建筑中、或者是那些怀着恐惧与寒冷不断颤抖、被塞进船里以逃离灾难和战争的孩子们。请你用希望和欢乐照亮他们的世界。

当我想到今年你处境艰难时……当我仔细思考，我不确定这样是否合理：即找你要一把光剑(虽然我并不曾得到过)来控制时空介质，从而使得美好的童年时光再久一点。

但对于那些给你写信、期待着你会在天明前送给他们礼物而入睡的孩子们，你带给他们好奇和敬畏。你激发了善行，至少在我的记忆中，一些孩子在最后一刻试图弥补过错，以避免因此受罚。还希望你体谅一下数百万想跟你写信却不会写字的人。请你倾听他们的声音，给他们时间和机会去学习读书和写字，这样他们就可以过上更好的生活，逃离贫困的处境。

我对你感到一丝歉意。我好像做了我明明说自己不会做的事……我希望你能帮忙解决成年人造成的麻烦，缓解我们对孩子的某些担忧。我保证，我会给你留超多肉馅饼的!!

满满的爱
