My teacher gave me an assignment "experience life" last week. I had been thinking how to finish it because I had never done any thing by myself before.

Mother was out today. It was a good chance to complete the assignment. Seeing the barrel was empty, I decided to fetch water from the well.

I took the empty barrel and went towards the well outside the yard. It snowed yesterday, so the alley was very slippery. A layer of thickice was frozen on the platform of the well. I was frightened by the sight, but I gathered my courage to walk towards it.

The alley was so slippery that I walked with difficultly. Suddenly, I slipped and fell down, water in the barrel totally poured down on the ground. I stepped on the platform carefully. After standing steadily and squatting down slowly, I hooked the barrel at the end of the rope and put the rope down slowly. I made an effort to drag the barrel up after it was filled with water. I was very careful because it was easy to slip and fall. Then, I carried the barrel of water and returned to my house. My figners were frozen stiff. I realized my effort was in vain. I hated myself.

I failed to finish the assignment but I did experience life through a trifle which seemed easy but difficult to do well. Such was my first experience of life.

去年秋天，妈妈带我去老家看望外公、外婆。在那里，我真正体会到了什么是乡村生活，直到现在，还是回味无穷!

清晨，我早早地起了床，就跟着弟妹出去玩。小鸟在不时地站枝头讴歌;野花野草随处可见，它们在秋风中摇曳，在阳光的沐浴中，显得那么可爱;鱼儿在水中嬉戏;小溪欢快地流淌。一路上好不快活。一眨眼的功夫，便到了中午，大伙的肚子就开始唱“空城计”了，我们正打算回家吃饭，在路上，我们见有些人在烤花生。看见他们吃的那么香，我们都被馋的直流口水，于是大家开始计划烤花生行动，我和妹妹偷花生，其他人偷麦杆。材料准备齐全后，我们找了一幢废弃的砖房，作为烧烤地点。首先，用几块砖搭一个灶台(不用太复杂)。接着，在里面放一些麦杆。接下来，把花生放进去，用开始放的麦杆盖住(只要用一点麦杆盖住就可以了)。然后，等麦杆烧完后，用烧完的黑灰盖住5分钟就可以吃了。当我们吃着自己做的东西的时候，心里别提有多自豪了。不知不觉中，傍晚到了。天边的红霞，向晚的微风，归巢的鸟儿，一切都是那么美好。只有远处偶尔传来的几句叫喊声。最后一抹晚霞也消失了，整个天空暗了下来。人们纷纷关紧大门，进入甜蜜的梦乡，到处都是那么安静，只有几声鸟叫偶尔传来……

乡村生活，你是那么使人回味无穷，那么使人流连忘返!

My New Life

This summer, I move to a new city with my parents, and I transfer to a new school. I used to live in the countryside, so my new life is so different from before. The school is a little far from my home, so I go to school by bus. After school, I have many activities in school. Classmates are friendly to me. I learn English now. It’s so interesting that I like it very much. Besides, life in city is different. There are many interesting places to go. At weekends, my parents take me outside. We go to the park, the zoo or go shopping. But we are not so familiar with our neighbors. I think we should build good relationship with them.

这个夏天，我和爸爸妈妈搬到了一个新的城市生活，我也转到了新的学校上学。以前，我住在乡下，所以我现在的生活和以前有很大不同。学校离我的家稍远，所以我要坐公交车去上学。课后，我在学校有很多活动。同学们对我也很有好。现在我开始学英语了，这门课程很有趣，我很喜欢。另外，在城市里的生活也很不一样，有很多好玩的地方可以去。周末，我的爸爸妈妈常常带我出去。我们去公园、动物园，或者去购物。但是我们和邻居们不是很熟悉，我觉得我们应该建立良好的关系。

early in senior high school, we longed to be enrolled in a university. now the dream has come true. but how do we college students like our campus life?

certainly, some relish it, finding it colorful and rewarding. besides study, they spend considerable amount of time improving themselves in various aspect. yet others do not think much of their college life, thus do not benefit as much. in their eyes, the university is just a bigger high school. the only difference is that they have more time at their disposal without parents looking over their shoulder.

as to me, college life is ideal if only i have abundant books to read, some bosom friends to keep me company, a couple of conscientious professors to instruct me, and an easy access to the internet.

早在高中，我们就渴望进入大学。现在梦想成真了。但是我们大学生喜欢我们的校园生活吗？

当然，有些人喜欢它，觉得它丰富多彩，很有回报。除了学习，他们还花了大量的时间在各个方面提高自己。然而，其他人对他们的大学生活不怎么重视，因此也没有那么多的益处。在他们看来，这所大学只是一所更大的高中。唯一的区别是，他们有更多的时间可以自由支配，而父母则不必回头看。

对我来说，大学生活是理想的，只要我有大量的书可以阅读，一些知心朋友可以陪伴我，一些认真的教授可以指导我，以及容易上网。

今天我和爸爸回老家看太奶奶。

我们坐了半个小时的车子，终于到了，这里就是太奶奶的家，门前有一只看门狗，名叫大黄，还有一只大公鸡在门口大踏步的走来走去，好骄傲的样子!院子里还有中只大白鹅坐着。

我听到小鸟的叫声，抬头一看，原来爷爷养的一只小鸟，它头上的羽毛就像是彩头巾，爷爷说它很喜欢歌唱，每天早上六点准时唱歌，比大公鸡还早呢!

太奶奶看到我们来了说道：“来来来，这回来的有些晚了，饭菜都凉了!”“太奶奶，今天我们吃什么呢?”我好奇的问道，太奶奶说：“今天吃西红柿炒鸡蛋和米饭，还有好多好吃的菜呢!”我说：“好啊好啊!正好我饿了”

这是我一天的乡村生活!

乡村，是一个让人流连忘返的地方，这儿有数不尽的鲜花，蔚蓝的天空，清新的空气，清澈的小溪，还有玩耍嬉戏的身影。

这样美丽的景色，是春姑娘带来的，春天，鲜花盛开，绿树成阴。花儿像一个个爱美的小姑娘，新枝吐蕾，清香扑鼻。高大茂盛的树也不示弱，披上了绿油油的新衣裳，有时大风吹来，衣裳便跳起舞来。小鸟扑翅，飞上了树枝，叽叽喳喳唱起了欢快的歌儿，远处又飞来了几只，聆听这优美的歌声，苏轼说过：竹外桃花三两枝，春江水暖鸭先知。这句话说得真不错，现在鸭子就在游泳呢。

以前回到家乡时，总爱在树阴下和隔壁的小伙伴玩游戏。光阴似箭，日月如梭，现在也只会在地上捡落叶当标本。有时看着大人们忙碌的身影，总是使我们总是去帮倒忙。

比起城市的喧嚣，我们会不由自主地喜欢乡村生活。乡村的天空是蔚蓝，乡村的空气是清新的，清澈的小溪，无拘无束的身影，使我们总是去想起它。乡村的景色是优美的，才能让花儿绽放了甜美的笑容，让小鸟唱起了欢快的歌曲，让大树的绿叶跳起了优美的舞姿。我喜欢平凡朴素的乡村生活。

星期日，我和爸爸一道乘着车去乡下，过一把乡村生活瘾。

公交车渐渐地驶入了山区，把城市里的喧闹声远远地抛到了后面，走进了幽静的乡下外婆家。

不必说黄灿灿的南瓜花，绿油油的西瓜藤，酸溜溜的杨梅，甜津津的桃子;也不必说辛勤的蚂蚁在田间忙碌，金黄的蜜蜂在花丛中穿梭，讨厌的知了在树叶间长吟。单是碧绿的菜畦，就别有一番趣味：玉米在风中摇曳，小鸡在草丛中捉迷藏，蝈蝈在这里唱歌……

外婆见到了我们，立刻去地里摘蔬菜。我带了一把锋利的剪刀，跟着外婆，到了菜地里，剪起了木耳菜。我首先挑了一棵长大了的木耳菜，拨开菜叶，找到茎分成三四岔的地方剪下去，一株菜就剪好了。我一连剪了许多株。听外婆说，木耳菜的气味很难闻，害虫都不想吃它，所以它才长得那么健康。这是真正的绿色蔬菜。

接着，我又走到青菜地里，拔起青菜来。一开始，我不掌握方法，抓住菜叶就用力拔。一拔就摔得四脚朝天，青菜叶也在我拔的时候“光荣牺牲”了。后来，我逐渐有了经验。我抓住青菜的茎，再轻轻地一拔，一株完好无损的青菜就被拔出来了。我们收获了许多蔬菜。

我们忙活了一个小时，许许多多好吃的菜肴便接二连三地上了桌，吃得我满嘴流油。

下午，外婆带着我们去庙里看戏，但我却没有一点兴趣。于是，我和表姐偷偷地从庙里溜了出来，一起在郁郁葱葱的西瓜地里追逐打闹。在田埂上，我们拿着苍耳的种子，打“苍耳”仗;或在小沟旁踩着各种不知名的杂草跳跃;要么就是采摘来一大把小草，把叶子和穗都拔掉，留下一根根长短不一的茎，轻轻地吹奏出一首动听的乐曲……

我真向往陶渊明笔下的“采菊东篱下，悠然见南山”的这种乡村生活。

At the end of the summer vacation, I cant help feeling excited and curious. How many times I have dreamed that my university life will be meaningful and beautiful.

At the beginning of university life, I think study and exercise are the most important thing. So I must improve my spoken English and written ability. Besides, I will make more friends and participate in other activities. Fortunately, I took part in two departments successfully. What a happy new for me! In my opinion, importantly, these departments can promote my comprehension and communication ability. At the same time, I will get many chances to exercise in new school life. It will make my life become more and more colorful.

After I entered the new university for two months, I adapt the new environment and meet many classmates and teachers. I feel happy when I made friends with them who can bring me more happiness and challenging.

There are many different aspects between high school and university. Firstly, I think independence is an ability for oneself in the university, but it is not in the high school. You must do everything by yourself. Secondly,we will have a lot of spare time,and we can do many things in this time. For example,we can read in our school library,we can play basketball or football in the stadium, we can have a rest in your dormitory and so on. Thirdly, you will have many activities and you can participate in it. At the same time,you have many chances to exercise your ability,study how can we do it better and promote our team spirit. Compared with high school life, I think my university life will be better and more interesting than high school.

Now the earth is in bad condition。 For example， in some places， the air and

water pollution is so serious that it causes many deaths。 At the same time， many

animals and plants are in danger because of the destruction of their

habitats。

Luckily， we human beings have realized the problem。 On April 22nd， millions

of people across the world do something good for the earth。 Some clean up

beaches and water， some pick up rubbish， others give speeches to call on more

people to take action。 But can we save the earth only by one day’s work? The

future of our planet depends on our efforts。 What we should do is to make every

day Earth Day。 Only by taking good care of it every day can we hope to live in

harmony with nature。

Three years of university life will soon be over. In these three years. I deeply feel the university campus life is good and full.

University campus life in general can be divided into several areas. First, and most important, it is the university taught in various disciplines. The reason why we have to university, the most important task is to learn. Learn all kinds of knowledge for our future work of great help. Secondly, it is the study of our campus life. University life relative to the high school life very much. We could command more time to entertainment. We can have more time to develop our hobbies. Then, in the university campus life, we can also know a lot of friends. Not only confined to their class. Because in the University, we will participate in various activities. Through these activities, we will meet many good friends. These friendships in the future are our fortune. Finally, the university life let me understand many principles. It makes me understand a man to bear responsibility. In later life, need to face all kinds of things. But also to understand his parents intentions. Understand their toil.

Through the above facts, we preliminarily know university campus life. All these States, that our university campus life is very full. However, there are a lot of students do not think so. We are all through the university entrance exam to enter the University. In high school, every day we are all in the ongoing efforts of learning. Parents in the spare time for us to arrange the various classes in high school. So, we can say that there is no spare time. To university, no one on our constraint and discipline. We do what you want to do. Dont consider things occurred as a consequence. In the course of time, most students have formed a mental laziness. Mainly in, lazy, every day in the room to play computer games have nothing to do and so on. These bad habits may destroy our life. Therefore, we must make good use of their spare time to eich them. Let him in the social development in the future. Have enough knowledge and development space.

To make a long story short, university campus life is wonderful. University campus life is a precious experience. University campus life will be our most beautiful memories.

前几天，爸爸妈妈带我一起回了趟老家，让我第一次感觉到：老家的生活可真爽呀!

到了老家，爸爸就开始给我们分配任务：“老婆，你带孩子去村口转转吧!我去菜地帮忙了!”

“妞，咱们去村口逮鱼吧!”听老爸那么一说，老妈自然十分乐意，冲着我便喊。“耶!太好啦!”而我更是兴奋地无法自控。妈妈很快找到了渔网、钓鱼竿，然后骑上姥姥的电动车，就带我出发了。

快到丹河边儿了，远远就能看见，一排排的垂柳在迎风跳舞，茂密的野草给河岸铺上了一层绿色的地毯，三五成群的孩子们蹚在河水里弯腰忙活着，好一幅迷人的风景画呀!

“妈妈，妈妈，我也要下水逮鱼。”看着那么多人都下水了，我羡慕的不得了。“不能哦!河水太脏了，人家敢下水，是人家胆子大，看你那小破胆子，还是在岸上看着吧!”妈妈好心劝道，无奈，我只好站在岸边用渔网捞鱼。

可是捞鱼也不是那么简单的。每次都是眼看着游过来一群鱼儿，我赶快把渔网伸进水里，可小鱼们似乎有先知先觉的本领，又马上四散跑开了，好像故意在跟我捉迷藏。经过了几番斗争，我垂头丧气地向妈妈求救。妈妈却语重心长地说：“捉鱼要有耐心哦，而且手要轻，动作要快!”听了妈妈的话，我又试了几次，果然功夫不负苦心人，终于逮到小鱼了，它们好小呀，只有我们吃的葵花籽一样大小，看着它们在渔网里扑腾着，就像在跳一支支优美的舞蹈。看到自己的劳动成果，真把我高兴坏了，那感觉让人无法描述。

“叮铃铃”，爸爸打电话催促我们回家了，我这才依依不舍地离开。

乡村生活真有趣，我要是能生活在农村就好了。

My life in the University of Education

How time flies! It has been about two years since I came to the University of Education. Every coin has two sides. On the one hand, I am quite satisfied with my university life. On the other hand, life in my university is not as satisfactory as what we had expected.

University is not only a place where you can learn something useful from textbooks, but also a place where you can improve your ability to communicate with others.

During the year university study, I can not only acquire a lot of book learning, but also foster various abilities. All types of extracurricular activities such as sports meets, speech contests, different social gatherings and traveling provide opportunities to make friends, many of these friendships may last a long time. I like talking and playing with others, so I own many friends. Sometimes I feel lonely, angry and also homesick. But fortunately I own these good friends. They helped me spend these sad days. I find words cannot express my sincere thanks to them. But I know when they need help; I will do everything that I can do to help those who helped me before.

I like going to the library where you can find these words on the wall: "Knowledge is power." and "Keep silence!" after class every day. Because I know that we must learn every day. I think the life in university of Education is full of freedom, but I never waste time. Life is not easy

for everybody, especially for those who hopes to lead a happy life”, a famous lady once said. That is to say, you have to try your best to learn and to pass exams in order to make your life become better and better with time going on. So I never give up learning even go to the college.

Sometimes I also want to own more free time to do my own things. But we have too many classes. So I think life in my university is not as satisfactory as what we had expected. The teaching method is boring; instead of lecturing, some teachers just "read" lessons. I hate it. I want to more free time in class.

During the time I spend at the University of Education, I not only develops my intellectual abilities, I also develop social skills as well as knowledge and wisdom necessary for choosing a future career.

In short, we should value our life in the University of Education. Although there are many things lacking, the four years in the university is a worthwhile period in our whole lifetime.

我喜欢热闹、忙碌的城市，更喜欢宁静、悠闲的乡村。因为她朴素中带着几分华丽，憨厚中带着几分可爱!

我家有一排宽敞的大瓦房，房前菜园子给我家增添了特有的情趣。菜园子并不大，但里面密密麻麻种满了许多蔬菜，碧绿的韭菜、白胖的萝卜、圆圆的大头菜、还有青菜、小白菜……旁边还有用毛竹搭的架子，上面爬满了青藤，挂着芸豆、缸豆、丝瓜……这都是奶奶的功劳。

清晨，我跟随爷爷去田里劳动。远远望去，田野里绿油油的一片，里面种了绿得发黑的韭菜，还有淡绿色的青菜，犹如一块无瑕的翡翠。田里的麦穗被风一吹，翻滚起伏着，好像一片绿色的海洋。金黄色的油菜花夹杂在麦苗里，组成了一幅幅美丽的田野画卷，让人心旷神怡。

中午，我和爷爷一起往家走，爷爷托着疲惫的身躯，脸上还洋溢着幸福的笑容，他的笑容里承载着收获。回到家，奶奶把桌子搬到院子里阴凉的树荫下面，大家一起天高地阔地吃起饭来。

到了睡午觉时间啦!但是我睡不着，于是，我和小伙伴们来到小溪边玩耍嬉戏，不知不觉一下午的时间在我们的欢笑声中悄悄溜走了。

傍晚，吃过晚饭，邻居们都来到巷子里，有的聊天，有的打扑克，有的跳舞……小孩子们撒着欢跑着，小猫成群结队地跑来跑去。一切都是那么宁静，那么和谐。我有时在巷子里骑自行车，有时跳绳，有时踢毽子，有时搬个小板凳坐在那里听音乐，舒服极了……

乡村生活，你是那么使人回味无穷，那么使人流连忘返!

College is always considered as a turning point in our educational career and life. I would use adaptationas the key word when describing my first year at college.

As we enter a new school, we first have to adapt a new environment and meet new people.As we leave home and move into the school dormitory, we need to learn to live and get along with other people who have different living habit. And as we start a higher level education, we need to adopt a new way of study. Teachers are no more like the ones in high school that will push us to learn.

Instead, we have more options and spare time to do what we want.

I am glad that I have overcome the difficulties and adapted the new life of college. I have achieved a lot more than I expected at my first year of college. First of all, I have made new friends who share the same hobbies and met new teachers who inspire me in all way. Secondly, I have become more independent. I have got used to a new way of study and often study different things by myself. I can take care of myselfwithout parents being by my side all the time. Last but not least, I have learnt to make full use of my time. I believe time management is a very essential skill in college life as we have more freedom than ever before. It has helped me not to waste time and turned me into a well-organized person.

My first year at college is excellent and I really appreciate all that I have learnt this year.

I have studied in my middle school for three years.My life in middle school is rich and I have learned a lot. I get knowledge from text books as well as from extra curricular activities. I studied hard in the past three years so that I got perfect scores. But, I also attach importance to other aspects, such as making friends, hobbies, health and sports. I build good relationships with my classmates. They become an important part of my life.I like to chat with them after class that makes me relax and comfortable. My hobby is swimming. Every Sunday morning, I go to swim with my friends or my father. When I have fun, I build a healthy body. Its so great to me. In one word, my life in middle is colorful and unforgettable.

新学期开始了，同学们都返回学校重新见面。他们正在谈论自己的暑假生活。我更高兴，迫不及待地想告诉他们我是怎么过的。终于轮到我，了，我告诉他们我暑假期间在一家餐馆当服务员。他们起初并不相信。“是真的。”我说，“刚开始时可惨了，但几天我就做得很好了。暑假我挣了600元钱呢。”他们都目瞪口呆地看着我。

现在全世界都在倡导“低碳生活”(low-carbon life)，即：降低二氧化碳的排放，采取低能量、低消耗、低开支的生活方式。低碳生活对我们大家都有好处，请你写一篇短文向一家英文报社投稿。内容包括：你的具体做法、你的感受以及建议。

提示词语：be good for, everyone, ride a bike, think, make a difference, environment, suggest, reuse

★ 范文

Low-carbon life is good for everyone. To help with the environment, I always walk or ride a bike to school instead of taking a car. Besides, I will try to use things that can be recycled and I never forget to turn off the lights when I leave the classroom. I think it’s my duty to live a low-carbon life. And even the simplest activities can make a real difference to the environment. So I suggest we should reuse books as long as possible. And we’d better not spend much money on expensive clothes. If everyone does something for the environment, I believe the earth will be a better place.
