Last year, I went to Guang Zhou in the summer vacation. I felt so excited, it took me about four hours to get there. In the daytime, the air was so stuffy and the sun was so hot, so my friends and I decided to take a rest in the hotel. When the sun almost got down, we started to go on the street, the first thing was to find something to eat. There were so many delicious snacks, we had no idea which to eat, so we planed to eat as much as we could. I found myself couldn’t stop eating, the food was tasted. After we finishing eating, we started to go shopping.Guang Zhou is famous for the foreign trade, its clothes are fashionable and cheap. We went to the shopping street, trying on all kinds of clothes, at last, we bought many clothes. This trip is so unforgettable to me.

去年暑假，我去广州旅游。我感到很兴奋，我花了大约四个小时到那里。白天，空气很闷，太阳很大，所以我的朋友和我决定去旅馆休息。当太阳将要下山了，我们开始逛街，第一件事就是找东西吃。街上有很多美味的小吃，我们不知道吃什么好，因此我们计划尽可能多吃。我无法停止下来，食物太美味了。吃完以后，我们开始购物，广州的外贸很出名，衣服时尚，价格便宜。我们去了购物街，试了各种各样的衣服，最后，我们买了很多衣服。这趟旅程对我来说是很难忘的。

上周，我的英语老师给我们布置了一个任务，她叫我们组成一个小组，每个小组由五个学生组成，需要做一个调查，那是关于人们对西方国家了解多少。在我的小组里，有三个女生和两个男生，刚开始，我们不知道如何去做，然后我建议小组采取团队合作。由于我和一个女孩擅长写作，因此我们两个决定去设计问题，另外的三个同学很活跃，因此他们喜欢去人问题。调查进行得很顺利，我们在两天内就完成了，多亏了团队合作，我们的任务完成得很好。老师赞扬了我的团队，我已经学到了合作的重要性，从此以后，我会考虑别人的感受。

In the past,the housing conditions in our city were rather poor.A lot of

families had to live in one room which was their bedroom,dining-room as well as

drawing-room.There was no toilet and kitchen.Sometimes,we could find that in a

flat with one bedroom and a living-room lived three generations.

Now many new blocks of flats have been set up and some more are under

construction.Row upon row of shabby,low and old houses are pulled down.There are

some streets lined with completely new blocks.Tens of thousands of families have

moved into their new homes.Nearly all of those new flats have gas cookers and

radiators provided by central heating.

As far as we know,new blocks of flats are also taking the place of humble

old houses in other cities.The changes of the housing conditions in our city as

well as other cities are the result of the rapid development of our

economics.

Nowadays, many female students are idolaters. In order to chase after their

idols, they always do extreme ways. For example, they listen to their idols

songs almost every minute in their daily life. With a smart phone, they do it

when reading books, doing homework, having meals, and even walking on the road,

which may have many bad effects on their health and even cause safety problems.

Besides, plenty of girls think they like their idols so much that they chase

after their idols wherever they go, just to get their signatures. They also

daydream of dating with their idols and get psychological problems at last. All

of these are worth our attention. We should educate girls that their idols are

some people who are lucky enough to be famous, and listening to their songs and

watching their photos are the things they should do in their life. Thus, they

are supposed to balance chasing after idols and their daily life properly.

The ancient said the world is a book and those who do not travel read only

one page. I like travel, because travel not only allows me to enjoy the great

rivers and mountains of the motherland, but also brings me knowledge and

exercise. Beautiful sceneries make me impressed and friendly people make me

warm. Travel is a process of discovery of beauty that would company my whole

life. I like the feeling on the road, which greatly enrich my life and fields of

vision. Being to different places, seeing different views makes me know how big

the world is, so that I won’t bother my trifles. I think a broad mind is

extremely important to a person, and traveling is a good way to get it. Maybe

some people would say that I travel just because I want to relax. There’s no

doubt about that. No matter for what reason, traveling is attractive to us

all.

To Remember Nanking Massacre

Early in the morning, when I searched the Internet, I found there were many news about the Nanking Massacre, our country’s flag had low down half, for the purpose of commemorating the people who were killed during that hard time. The massacre is such brutal, about 300 thousand people died, it is shame for our country, the Japanese who did the massacre deny their brutal act all the time. As the time went by, SomeJapanese want to clear his criminal with denying it, but we can’t forget the pain, we must remember it all the time, so that we learn the lesson and be strong. For those 300 thousand people, it will unrespect to them if they are forgotten, we must respect history, now we are still fight against the Japanese government.

一大早，当我上网的时候，我发现有很多关于南京大屠杀的新闻，我们的国旗降了一半，为了纪念在那个艰难时期被杀害的人。这场屠杀很残忍，大约30万人遇害，对于我们国家来说是多么耻辱啊，实行大屠杀的那些日本人一直以来都否认他们这么残忍的行为。随着时间的流逝，有些日本人想要通过否认来清除他们的罪行，但是我们无法忘记这样的痛，我们必须一直铭记，这样才学到教训，变得强大。对于30万人来说，忘记他们就是不尊重他们，我们必须尊重历史，如今我们仍然在和日本政府做斗争。

i never considered myself unique, but people are constantly telling me, "you are a miracle." to me, i was just an ordinary "guy" with realistic goals and big dreams. i was a 19-year-old student at the university of texas and well on my way toward fulfilling my "big dream" of one day becoming an orthopedic surgeon.

我从未觉得自己与众不同，但人们常对我说：“你的生命是个奇迹。”对我而言，我只是一个普通人，有着现实的目标和远大的理想。我曾是德克萨斯大学一名十九岁的大学生，在通向理想之路上信步前行，梦想有一天我会成为一名整形外科医生。

on the night of february 17, 1981 i was studying for an organic chemistry test at the library with sharon, my girlfriend of three years. sharon had asked me to drive her back to her dormitory as it was getting quite late. we got into my car, not realizing that just getting into a car would never quite be the same for me again. i quickly noticed that my gas gauge was registered on empty so i pulled into a nearby convenience store to buy 2.00 worth of gas. "ill be back in two minutes," i yelled at sharon as i closed the door. but instead, those two minutes changed my life forever.

1981年2月17日的晚上，我和交往三年的女友沙伦在为有机化学测试做准备。因为太晚了，沙伦叫我驾车把她送回宿舍。我们钻进汽车，谁能想到在今后的生命中我不能再如此矫健地重复这样一个简单的动作。我很快发现油表空了，于是我把车泊在附近的一家便利店旁，想买两块钱的汽油。“我两分钟就回来，”我关上车门朝沙伦喊到。但就是这短短的两分钟改变了我一生的命运，永远地改变了。

entering the convenience store was like entering the twilight zone. on the outside i was a healthy, athletic, pre-med student, but on the inside i was just another statistic of a violent crime. i thought i was entering an empty store, but suddenly i realized it was not empty at all. three robbers were in the process of committing a robbery and my entrance into the store caught them by surprise. one of the criminals immediately shoved a .38 caliber handgun to my head, ordered me to the cooler, pushed me down on the floor, and pumped a bullet into the back of my head -- execution style. he obviously thought i was dead because he did not shoot me again. the trio of thieves finished robbing the store and left calmly.

进入这家便利店就如同踏上了阴阳间的奈何桥，门外的我还是个健康的，活蹦乱跳的未婚大学生，而门内的我却成了暴力犯罪的又一个牺牲品。我还以为店里没有人，但我突然发现我错了——有三个匪徒正在打劫这家店，而我的进入让他们有些惊慌失措。其中一个匪徒迅速掏出一把口径为38毫米的手枪用力指着我的头，勒令我走到冷冻机旁，然后把我推倒在地，像执行死刑般从后面朝我头部开了一枪。他没再朝我开第二枪，显然他以为我死了。打劫完后三个劫匪逃之夭夭。

meanwhile, sharon wondered why i had not returned. after seeing the three men leave the store she really began to worry as i was the last person she saw entering the store. she quickly went inside to look for me, but saw no one-only an almost empty cash register containing one check and several pennies. quickly she ran down each aisle shouting, "mike, mike!"

与此同时，沙伦对我的不归忧心忡忡。看到这三个匪徒离开便利店后她真的很担心，因为我是她见到的最后一个进入店里的人。她赶快跑进店来找我，只见几乎被一扫而空的收银机上挂着一张帐单，还有几枚硬币散落在上面，四周无人。她在货架间飞快地跑着、喊着：“迈克，迈克!”

just then the attendant appeared from the back of the store shouting, "lady, get down on the floor. ive just been robbed and shot at!"

这时一名服务员从店后面走出来叫到：“小姐，过来一下，我刚才被打劫了，他们还向我开了枪。”

sharon quickly dropped to the floor screaming, "have you seen my boyfriend? he has auburn hair." the man did not reply but went back to the cooler where he found me choking on my vomit. the attendant quickly cleaned my mouth and then called for the police and an ambulance.

沙伦跌跌撞撞地过来哭喊到：“你见到我的男朋友了吗?长褐色头发的。” 那人默默走到冷冻机旁，找到了我，此时呕吐快令到我窒息了。他赶忙帮我擦干了嘴，叫了警察和救护车。

sharon was in shock. she was beginning to understand that i was hurt, but she could not begin to comprehend or imagine the severity of my injury.

沙伦被吓坏了。渐渐地她才明白我受伤了，但是她根本想象不到伤势的严重性。

when the police arrived they immediately called the homicide division as they did not think i would survive and the paramedic reported that she had never seen a person so severely wounded survive. at 1:30 a.m. my parents who lived in houston, were awakened by a telephone call from brackenridge hospital advising them to come to austin as soon as possible for they feared i would not make it through the night.

警察来了，他们很快断定是杀人案，因为没人相信我还能活过来，而救护人员说她从来没有见过伤势如此严重的人可以逃离死劫。下午一点半，我住在奥斯汀的父母被来自布莱肯瑞吉医院的电话铃惊醒，医院通知他们尽快赶到奥斯汀，因为他们认为我熬不过当晚了。

but i did make it through the night and early in the morning the neurosurgeon decided to operate. however, he quickly informed my family and sharon that my chances of surviving the surgery were only 40/60. if this were not bad enough, the neurosurgeon further shocked my family by telling them what life would be like for me if i beat the odds and survived. he said i probably would never walk, talk, or be able to understand even simple commands.

但那晚我挺了过来，第二天清晨神经外科医生决定给我动手术。但他立即告知我的家人和沙伦我存活的机会只有百分之四十。然后他还雪上加霜地告诉我的家人，向他们描述如果我万幸活下来将面临怎样的生活——我可能再也不会走路了，不会说话了，甚至不能理解一些极其简单的命令。这些对我的家人来说都是莫大的打击。

my family was hoping and praying to hear even the slightest bit of encouragement from that doctor. instead, his pessimistic words gave my family no reason to believe that i would ever again be a productive member of society. but once again i beat the odds and survived the three and a half hours of surgery. granted, i still could not talk, my entire right side was paralyzed and many people thought i could not understand, but at least i was stable. after one week in a private room the doctors felt i had improved enough to be transferred by jet ambulance to del oro rehabilitation hospital in houston.

本来家里人祈望能从医生的口中听到一点点鼓励的话，而他悲观的言语让他们没理由相信我还会成为一个对社会有用的人。在经历了三个半小时的手术之后，我再次侥幸地活了下来。医生的话得到了应验，我不能说话，整个右边的身体瘫痪了，许多人认为我变傻了，但至少我身体状况是稳定的。在私人看护病房里呆了一个星期后，医生觉得我已经好转了许多，并可以坐救护飞机转到奥斯汀的德欧洛康复医院。

my hallucinations, coupled with my physical problems, made my prognosis still very bleak. however, as time passed my mind began to clear and approximately six weeks later my right leg began to move ever so slightly. within seven weeks my right arm slowly began to move and at eight weeks i uttered my first few words. my speech was extremely difficult and slow in the beginning, but at least it was a beginning. i was starting to look forward to each new day to see how far i would progress. but just as i thought my life was finally looking brighter i was tested by the hospital euro-psychologist. she explained to me that judging from my test results she believed that i should not focus on returning to college but that it would be better to set more "realistic goals."

意识上的幻觉和生理上的病疾使我的病情预断非常的渺茫。然而时间的飞逝使我的意识开始变得清晰，大约六个星期以后我的右腿可以轻微地活动了，七周以后我的右臂开始缓慢地活动了，八周以后我终于开口说话了。说话对于我非常地艰难并且开始的时候说得很慢，但是总算是开头了。我开始寄希望于新的一天的到来，祈望着新的进步。但正当我以为生活总算初露光明的时候，医院里有个欧洲来的心理学家对我做了测试。她向我解释到，从检测的结果来看她坚信我不能再重返学校，劝我对此不要抱有任何希望，希望我最好树立些更现实点的目标。

upon hearing her evaluation i became furious for i thought, "who is she to tell me what i can or cannot do. she does not even know me. i am a very determined and stubborn person!" i believe it was at that very moment that i decided i would somehow, someday return to college.

她的这番结论让我怒不可遏，“她是谁，凭什么告诉我能做什么或不能做什么。她根本不了解我。我是很坚强而固执的人!”我相信就在那时我决定无论如何，总有一天我会返回学校的。

it took me a long time and a lot of hard work but i finally returned to the university of texas in the fall of 1983 -- a year and a half after almost dying. the next few years in austin were very difficult for me, but i truly believe that in order to see beauty in life you have to experience some unpleasantness. maybe i have experienced too much unpleasantness, but i believe in living each day to the fullest, and doing the very best i can. and each new day was very busy and very full, for besides attending classes at the university i underwent therapy three to five days each week at brackenridge hospital. if this were not enough i flew to houston every other weekend to work with tom williams, a trainer and executive who had worked for many colleges and professional teams and also had helped many injured athletes, such as earl campbell and eric dickerson. through tom i learned: "nothing is impossible and never, never give up or quit."

在经历了一年半垂死挣扎的生活后，在漫长的等待和艰辛的付出后，终于在1983年的秋天，我返回了德克萨斯大学。在奥斯汀接下来的几年里我生活得非常艰难，但我确信为了看到生活中的真善美你必须要经历一些苦难。也许我经历的苦难太多了，但我有一个信念——充实地过每一天，尽力做到最好。日子过的很繁忙、很充实，除了读书，每周我还在要在布莱肯瑞吉医院接受三到五次的治疗。如果这还不够忙的话，我还要隔周和汤姆·威廉斯飞到奥斯汀工作。汤姆是一个教练兼主管，他曾效力于许多大学校队和职业联队，并帮助过许多受伤的运动员，如：厄尔·坎贝尔和艾立克·迪克森。从汤姆的身上我学到“没有什么是不可能的，千万千万不要放弃，永不放弃。”

early, during my therapy, my father kept repeating to me one of his favorite sayings. i have repeated it almost every day since being hurt: "mile by mile its a trial; yard by yard its hard; but inch by inch its a cinch."

早在我接受治疗的时候，父亲总是重复他最爱的那句话，每天当我感到痛苦的时候我也对自己重复那句话，那就是“脚踏实地，切勿急功近利。”

i thought of those words, and i thought of tom, my family and sharon who believed so strongly in me as i climbed the steps to receive my diploma from the dean of liberal arts at the university of texas on that bright sunny afternoon in june of 1986. excitement and pride filled my heart as i heard the dean announce that i had graduated with "highest honors", been elected to phi beta kappa, and been chosen as one of 12 deans distinguished graduates out of 1600 in the college of liberal arts. the overwhelming emotions and feelings that i experienced at that very moment, when most of the audience gave me a standing ovation, i felt would never again be matched in my life-not even when i graduated with a masters degree in social work and not even when i became employed full time at the texas pain and stress center. but i was wrong!

1986年六月那个阳光明媚的午后，当我步履蹒跚地走上德克萨斯大学迪安文学院的台阶接受文凭的时候，我思索着这些话，想到汤姆、父母还有沙伦，他们都那么坚定地给予了我信任。当我听到院长宣布我以最高荣誉毕业时，我的心中充满了骄傲和自信。接着他还宣布我被选入美国大学优等生荣誉学会，并在1600名毕业生中当选为12名迪安文学院的杰出毕业生之一。当场有许多观众站起来为我鼓掌，那一刻令我心潮澎湃、百感交集。我甚至觉得生命中不可能再经历那样的感慨和激情，这种想法一直延续到我获得社会学的硕士学位，成为德克萨斯止痛减压中心的一名全职工作人员。但幸运之神再次眷顾了我!

on may 24, 1987, i realized that nothing could ever match the joy i felt as sharon and i were married. sharon, my high school sweetheart of nine years, had always stood by me, through good and bad times. to me, sharon is my miracle, my diamond in a world filled with problems, hurt, and pain. it was sharon who dropped out of school when i was hurt so that she could constantly be at my side. she never wavered or gave up on me. it was her faith and love that pulled me through so many dark days. while other nineteen year old girls were going to parties and enjoying life, sharon devoted her life to my recovery. that, to me, is the true definition of love. after our beautiful wedding i continued working part time at the pain center and completed my work for a masters degree. we were extremely happy, but even happier when we learned sharon was pregnant.

1987年5月24日，我觉得再没有什么能与此时的快乐相提并论，我和沙伦结婚了。沙伦是我高中时代的女友，风风雨雨九年来，她一直陪在我身旁。对我来说，她是我的奇迹，是我在这个充满困惑和伤痛的世界上拥有的一颗钻石。为了能日夜守侯在我的身旁，沙伦在我受伤的时候放弃了学业。她的爱从未动摇过，她从未抛弃过我。是她的忠诚和爱伴着我度过了无数个黑暗的日子。当别的十九岁的女孩子参加舞会、享受生活的时候，沙伦把青春献给了病床上的我，等待我的康复。对我来说，这就是爱的真谛。在那个美满的婚礼之后，我继续在止痛中心做着兼职的工作，并获得了我的硕士学位。我们非常的幸福，而沙伦怀孕的消息更让我们恩爱有加。

on july 11, 1990 at 12:15 a.m. sharon woke me with the news: "we need to go to the hospital… my water just broke." i couldnt help but think how ironic it was that my life almost ended in a convenience store and now on the date "7-11" we were about to bring a new life into this world. this time it was my turn to help sharon as she had helped me over those past years. she was in labor for 15 hours. at 3:10 p.m. sharon and i experienced the birth of our beautiful daughter, shawn elyse segal! tears of joy and happiness came to my eyes as our healthy, alert, wonderful daughter entered this world. we anxiously counted her 10 fingers and her 10 toes and watched her wide eyes take in the world about her. it was truly a beautiful picture that was etched in my mind forever as she lie in her mothers waiting arms, just minutes after her birth. at that moment i thanked god for blessing us with the greatest miracle of all-shawn elyse segal.

1990年7月11日12点15分，沙伦把我从梦中唤醒：“我们得去医院了……我羊水破了。”我忍不住想命运真让人啼笑皆非，它几乎让我在那家便利店里丢了性命，而在一个命名为“7·11”的日子里它却让我迎来新生命的出世。多年来沙伦帮我度过了一次又一次难关，这次该我来帮助她了。沙伦经历了15个小时的分娩。在3点10分的时候，沙伦和我一起迎来了我们美丽的女儿——萧恩·艾丽斯·斯高。当我看到美丽的女儿健康地来到这个世上，喜悦和幸福化作泪水夺眶而出。我们迫不及待地数着她的十个手指和十只脚趾，看着她大大的眼睛注视着她的世界。初生的婴儿躺在妈妈柔软的怀里如一副优美的图画将永驻我的心中。那一刻，我感谢上帝赐予我们如此最伟大的奇迹——我的萧恩·艾丽斯·斯高。

It is the traditional merit to respect the old in China. Since I was very

small, I received the education that young people should respect the old without

any question. I kept it in my heart and showed respect to the old people all the

time. But as I grew up and with the development of Internet, media exposed the

negative side of the old people. They were rude and impolite sometimes, some of

them took it for granted that young people should serve to them. So people start

to think about whether it was worthy giving priority to the old. In my opinion,

it is the adorable behavior that deserves to be respected, instead of the age.

When old people were rude, they also needed to face the publics criticism. Only

the multi-respect can help people better communicate.

The years are long, and my dreams are still there; In the mottled memory of

life, there are bound to be twists and turns and hardships in the middle. When

you encounter setbacks, do you face it calmly, or do you avoid it?

In fact, setbacks are a valuable asset in life. When we are in adversity,

it is the process of accumulating wealth.

Setbacks are the cornerstone of the road to success. Learning to accept

setbacks and accepting reality will inspire fighting spirit and move forward

bravely. Just like President Lincoln, he faced adversity in his life, 8

elections and 8 failures, but it is precisely because of his selflessness,

fearlessness and courage to face that he succeeded and fulfilled his personal

dreams. Indeed, only by being brave enough to accept setbacks and constantly

accumulating life experience can we reap the first pot of gold in life.

Frustration is the lubricant of life. When the wheel of life is driving on

the rough trails, the thorns of the roadside become our obstacles. Its like the

journey of life on the sea, suddenly encountering violent storms; when the young

butterfly breaking its cocoon into a butterfly breaks its wings... There is

always a little unsatisfactory in life, as Tagore said: "God is entirely to

strengthen our will, Thats why we set up many obstacles on our way." But at the

same time as we lost, we gained the confidence and courage to deal with

setbacks, so that we can continue to improve and improve.

Setbacks are a poem in life, and inspiration after facing the difficulties

in life. Although the poet Qu Yuan is full of talent and loyalty, he encounters

the faint-hearted King Huai of Chu; Yue Fei drives his army north, vowing to

attack Huanglong and restore the Central Plains, but he is recalled to Linan by

twelve gold medals. These insightful people have experienced setbacks and

regrets. Qu Yuan sang the eternal quatrain of "Long too much breath to cover up

tears, mourning how difficult the peoples life is", full of the poets great

feelings, interpreting the deepest call of the poets soul. So frustration

exudes a kind of poetic beauty, a flicker of the spiritual light of beauty, and

a beautiful spark of free spirit flying in the vast world.

Frustration is a key to interpreting life. Life is like climbing a

mountain. In this mountain, there is never a shortage of people who climb it,

but some people give up halfway and see only a small piece of scenery around

them; Small", harvest the most beautiful scenery. When life encounters setbacks,

only persistence is the shortcut to success.

Frustration has two sides. If we see it as an ugly garment, then we are

really blocking its light; if we see it as a strong cloth, then we will walk

forward and not. Fear of restraint. Therefore, we should treat setbacks

correctly, because we always believe that adversity makes talents.

Learn to face setbacks. When we encounter setbacks, we will have more

indifference in our hearts. Setbacks are not terrible, but will bring us

strength and courage, which is an indispensable wealth in life.

Its almost the end of April. Summer has come to us in my city. In south,

summer always comes earlier than north. It has been hot for about half a month.

The highest temperature reached 37 degree. Now, there are much less people in

the street. People are not likely to go out during the summer. Its so hot

outside. Swimming is the most favorite activity in my city. The pools are always

full filled with people. Parents often take their children to swimming pool at

night. Personally, I do not like summer, because its too hot and the sunshine

is strong. I sweat a lot and that makes me very uncomfortable. Therefore, summer

is tough time for me and I always expect winter to come.

Happiness is dependent upon work. Sometimes we complain that we have too

much work, but we fail to realize that it’s our work that keep us moving on and

helps us to become a better man. Last summer I visited my friends in a small

village. It was obvious that working has become an indispensable part of their

daily lives. They all went to the field to plant the crops. The sun was shinning

above them and they looked quite happiness about their work. On their face there

were such smiles as I had never seen before.

Work provide us with happiness. Work is more than a necessity for human

beings. If we have no work to do, we will waste our precious time. That’s pity.

We will lose everything in the end. Work helps us to realize the importance of

life, then we will appreciate it more. Everybody who live in this society could

not live without working. If we spend every day idly, we will find life is

boring.

Its about one and a half month away from the Chinese New Year, It is a

festival celebrated by the Chinese people at the beginning of the lunar calendar

year.

As of the Chinese traditional customs, our parents and grandparents will

sweep every corner of the house and clean the windows until they gleam, and

washing clothes, buying foods and goods for the new years future use and

presents.

Children will be the most benefited group during this feast period. One

month before that, they are expecting the new clothes, delicious foods. The

firecrackers and the years allowance for their increased ages.

In recent years, with the rising of the standard of life, Chinese tend to

make various holiday plans to spend a different and meaningful new year. Such as

traveling abroad, or be absorbed in their hobbies, and even work.

Why today we try to spend our Chinese new year in such a different way? I

think thats because this is a era of free life and personality high-ranking.

Though there are still something traditional, our young generation is attempting

to make something new and suitable for ourselves. And we would like to take

something really worth to be cherished in our memorable treasures. Thats

amazing and wonderful!

Ill always keep in mind that the Chinese new year is a great feast

inherited from our ancestors, but if necessary, I would like to enjoy it by some

ways personal.

As the society developing,noisy has effect our healthy and work.The result of noisy is that people dont protect our environment.They think our socitey is developing so fast,noisy is less and less important.But,if we dont have a good environment,how should we develop our lives? Lets keep us from the noisy.We should have a quiet and good environment to study and work.And only by this can we develop well.I think that everyone makes a contribution to protect our environment,the noisy can disappear sooner or later,our world can become more and more beautiful.

随着社会的发展，噪声影响了我们的健康和工作。吵闹的结果是人们不保护我们的环境。他们认为我们的社会发展如此之快，噪音是不重要的。但是，如果我们没有一个好的环境，我们应该怎样发展我们的生活?让我们远离喧嚣，我们应该有一个安静和良好的环境来学习和工作，只有这样我们才能发展得很好，我认为每个人都作出贡献，保护我们的环境，嘈杂可以消失迟早，我们的世界变得越来越美丽。

I always dream about returning to the past. As many people say,Childhoodis the happiest and easiest time in one’s life.

我一直梦想着回到过去。许多人说，童年在我们的生命中是最快乐的，也是过的最快的。

Children show you their true emotions. They know what is compassion and what is tolerance better than adults. In their world, all real thoughts are presented. They may easily have different opinions with others, but they never understand what is animosity. They enjoy making friends but they never think about making social communication net. Every child talks from the bottom of his heart without evil plans hidden and never intrigues against each other. Only in children’s way can adults make our life simple, more real and more enjoyable.

孩子们向你展示自己真实的情感。他们知道什么是同情，什么是宽容。在他们的世界里，所有想法都是单纯真实的。他们可以很容易地与其他人有不同看法，但他们从来没有明白什么是仇恨。他们喜欢结交朋友，但他们从来不考虑用社交网络。每个孩子都发自内心地和其他人交流，没有邪恶计划和隐藏的阴谋。只有用童年时期的方式才能让成年人们的生活更简单，更真实、更愉快。

I wish everyone’s heart would keep as innocent and lovely as they ever did in their childhood. Then, the walls between our hearts can be broken down and the world would be a better place to live in.

我希望每个人的心都会保持他们曾经拥有的童年时期的天真可爱。然后，横在人们心中的心墙会坍塌，世界将是一个更好的住所。

My Experience to Eat Buffet

Today, after school, my friends asked me to have dinner with them, I felt so happy and went the restaurant with them. Then I found they wanted to eat buffet, I was so happy, because I always wanted to have buffet, I could eat a lot of food. As we paid the money more than we usually spent, so all of us wanted to eat as more as possible, even though we were full enough, we still tried to eat. I would go the wash room many times, so that I could continue to eat. I found eating the buffet should be a happy thing for me, but now it seemed to be a kind of torture, I always told myself to eat more than I could bear, my stomach hurt. The experience to eat buffet lets me realize that I should enjoy the food instead of eat more than I could bear.

今天，下课后，我的邀请我和他们一起吃晚饭，我感到很开心，和他们一起去馆子。我发现朋友们想要吃自助餐，我很开心，因为我总是想要吃自助餐，我能吃很多食物。因为我们比平常多花了钱，所以我们都想要尽可能的多吃，即使我们足够的吃饱，仍然想要去吃。我会上很多次洗手间，这样我就能继续去吃。我发现吃自助餐对我来说应该是一件开心的事，但是却有点像是折磨，我总是告诉自己多吃，超过了承受的范围，胃都受伤了。吃自助餐的经历让我意识到我应该享受食物，而不是吃到超过自己的承受范围。

In China, there is a saying that the children who live in the countryside areEarly-maturing, it is not about the physiology, it is about the mentality. The reason for the children being premature is various. Some children live in an unhappy family, such their parents get divorced or their parents don’t get along with each other. Living in such a family, the children will not grow up in a normal way, they will have sad feelings and become to know more about the unlucky things. Some children who live in the country need to take more responsibility, because their parents work in the big cities, so the children have to take care of themselves and also learn to do the house work. It is not good for the children to be early-maturing, they should grow up step by step, the parents need to give more care on the kids.

在中国，有一句话，农村的孩子早当家，这不是说生理上的，而是说心里上的。造成孩子早熟的原因有很多。一些孩子生活在不幸福的家庭，比如他们的父母离婚或者他们的父母相处不好。生活在这样的家庭，孩子不会正常的长大，他们会感到悲伤，了解更多不幸的事情。一些住在农村的孩子需要承担更多的责任，因为他们的父母在大城市打工，所以孩子需要照顾自己，也要学着去做家务。孩子早熟是不好的，他们应该一步一步地成长，家长需要给予孩子更多的关爱。

My hometown is Guiyang, a small city in Southwest China, surrounded by

rolling green mountains. A river runs through it, with locust trees lining along

both banks. In Spring the locust trees all blossom at the same time, spreading

the delicate fragrance all around the city. In Summer there will be little boats

floating on the river, the laughter of children resonating with the sound of the

running water.

I was born and grew up in the city, and Im very affectionate to it. It

rains a lot, but the climate is very mild, neither too cold nor too hot

throughout the year. It is small and not very prosperous, but people there are

warm-hearted and straightforward. The life pace there is slow and peaceful. Its

a good place for spending hot summer days.

That is my hometown. I love her deeply from the bottom of my heart.

Dear Jim,

I’m so glad to hear your future education plan in Beijing in your last

letter. First I would like to express my warmest welcome to you and I am sure

you will have the most unforgettable experience during your college in

Beijing.

Learning your keen interest in Chinese culture, I suggest you apply for

Peking University, one of the best universities in China. Its Chinese Literature

major is perfect for you where you can be completely soaked in Chinese profound

history and rich culture. As for preparation, some reading in advance is needed

like The Story of the Stone while some online courses of spoken Chinese can be

helpful for you to adapt into the Chinese language environment.

I sincerely hope your dream will come true and it’s my pleasure to show you

around in Beijing when that day comes. If you have further questions, please

feel free to let me know.

Yours,

Li Hua
