A dream is to a man what wings are to a bird. With a dream in the deep heart＇s core, a man is spontaneously driven to hitch his wagon to a star. A dream is an inexhaustible source of energy that keeps our enthusiasm burning, and kindles our desire to enhance our spiritual cultivation, refine our character, and upgrade our quality of life. A life without a dream is like a bird with broken wings, confined to a cage and oblivious of what lies beyond the range of its vision. On the contrary, a man with a dream is like a warrior armed with ambition, foresight and gallantry, daring to step into an unknown domain to make a journey of adventure. It is dream that adds fullness, variety, and spice to our life and makes it worth living.

I have a dream. It is a dream that is deeply rooted in human nature. I dream that one day people of all origins can live in harmony and peace without being discriminated against or persecuted. the bounty of the earth can be shared by every single human being. Mutual respect will guarantee the existence and continuation of the diversity of customs and cultures. Love, sympathy, and cooperation will alleviate the sufferings and disasters inflicted upon our fellow men. Respect for basic human rights will put an end to social injustices and evils. When my dream comes true, all men will be truly equal, happy, and free.

chances of ever obtaining real happiness. As a result，many people avoid the very

I have a bitter experience. When I was a child， I lived a poor life，and I

had a happy and meaningful life in my childhood. And my parents were always

respecting each other. And now we have some money，and our life has improved a

lot. To tell the truth， it is a good thing. Unfortunately，My father always goes

out and takes part in the gambling activities. And my mother sometimes quarrels

with my father. I am extremely unhappy about it. I think money doesnt equal

happiness. And pain-free lifestyle also doesnt equal happiness. The real

happiness is that everyone loves each other， and does everything useful for our

society. Most of my classmates support me. But some of them think money is

everything. In my opinion，we cant do things without money. But money cant take

the place of everything，such as your life，your time and your happiness.

我的家乡没有奇特险峻的大山，也没有雄伟壮观的瀑布，更没有远近闻名的景点。但是在我的心中，却有一种美，一种无以名状的美;一种雅而不俗、贵而不鄙的美;一种刻骨铭心、永不逝去的美;让我久久难以忘怀。家乡是生我养我的地方，那里有我熟悉的故土;有我挚爱的亲人;有我的童年、有我美好的回忆。

家乡、似乎可以包容一切，再我失意的时候、它让我尽情的宣泄;再我快乐的时候，它让我放声高歌;在我成功的时候、它警告我不要骄傲;在我失败的时候、它鼓励我不要气馁。只要在家乡，一个会声的微笑、一声关切的问候、一句真诚的鼓励、就可以让人感受到无比的幸福;只要在家乡，一束美丽的鲜花、一缕浓浓的柔情、一声同情的惋惜、都能让人感悟人身的真谛。这才发现，家乡是如此温暖。

家乡、是船泊的避风港湾，在遇到困难的时候，它还会诚心的接纳你;家乡、是下雨时的一把伞，在碰到危险的时候，有它给你遮挡;家乡、是久旱荒漠上的一汪清泉，在你走投无路的时候，它还在默默的为你鼓励、加油，让那一句“山重水复疑无路，柳暗花明又一村”成为现实;家乡还是出海时的明灯，在你不知道前进方向的时候，它还在前面正确的为你指引。

家乡，听上去还是那么亲切。它就是默默立在我后面的靠山、是我饥饿时的饭菜、是我生病时的膏药、是我心灵最深处的温暖。家乡的那寸方土，曾让我踏过，它是那么的平稳。家乡的那丝细流，曾让我喝过，它是那么甜润。家乡的那些食物，曾喂养我长大，它是那样的香甜。

不说家乡的山，也不谈家乡的水，更不讲家乡的人，就单单家乡的情，都会让人沉默。

As a child, I am so luck. I don’t need to worry about food. I always have enough delicious food, live in a big house, and have beautiful clothes to dress.

I will be full after eating several dishes. But one day, I watch a piece of news on TV. It is about some Africa children who are suffering starvation. They are so poor. They are not only having no food to eat but also having little water to drink. A bowl of rice is very rare for them. Seeing their longing eyes, I feel guilty. I am regret about wasting food before. How can I waste so much rare food? From now on, I will try my best to save food, to do something for them.

我的家乡在江西省修水县，那里是个美丽的地方。一年四季树木茂盛，鲜花盛开。

春天，春姑娘穿着五彩的霓裳，轻盈地走上了舞台，她把长袖一挥，大地上的草丛树木都被染上了绿色。春姑娘又纤巧的手编织出一朵朵美丽的小花，向台下撒去。鲜花飞向绿色的大地、飞向绿色的树木，立刻，嫩绿的翠叶间缀满了朵朵鲜花。

夏天，火热的太阳毫不留情地烤着大地上的一切。大地被烤得发焦发烫，地面上仿佛被一个巨大的蒸笼罩住了，使人透不过气来。但，这就是夏天的魅力所在，它让我有一种置身于温暖中的感觉。

秋天是个收获的季节，看，果园里的那棵苹果树上，一个个密密麻麻又大又红的苹果高高地挂在树上。那棵葡萄树上的葡萄又紫又大，看起来，可真叫人流口水。那两石榴树上结满了红彤彤的石榴，它们一个个挨挨挤挤，好像一不小心就会掉下来。

Whether sixty or sixteen, there is in every human beings heart the lure of

wonders, the unfailing childlike appetite of whats next and the joy of the game

of living. In the center of your heart and my heart there is a wireless station:

so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from

men and from the infinite, so long are you young.

An individual human existence should be like a river—small at first,

narrowly contained within its banks, and rushing passionately past boulders and

over waterfalls. Gradually the river grows wider, the banks recede, the waters

flow more quietly, and in the end, without any visible break, they become merged

in the sea, and painlessly lose their individual being.

Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, of the

appetite for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of

sixty more than a boy of twenty. Nobody grows old merely by a number of years.

We grow old by deserting our ideals.

Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.

Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.

During the winter vacation, nothing is different for my life. I wake up 11 oclock Am everyday, after a washing, I have a good lunch with my parents. Next I play computer games till the time to have supper. After have dinner. I go on playing till 2 oclock Am, and then go to sleep with tired. This is one dull day of my winter vacation.

But I havent bored all the time. Sometimes I read the books, sometime I listen to the music or the radio in the bed, because it was very cold outside and snowy all the day. And I also meat some of my good friends during the vacation, we have a very long talk about the life of each other in the past year and play table tennis tegether. And I watched the spring festival party of the CCTV in the last seconds of the 2004 year! I think this is the thing most people of china doing at that time.

Thats all, all my dull, coldly and snowy winter vacation.

My childhood was unforgettable. When I was five years old, I went to the kindergarten every day. I had a lot of good time with my little friends. My parents took good care of me. I didn’t need to care about food and clothes and any other things. I was very happy in those days. But one day, my mother told me that she wouldnt pick me up after school. I was afraid of going home alone, so I started to cry and I was angry with my mother. Although I insisted that she and my father should protect me safely, they still disagreed with me. They thought it was good for me to learn to be independent. The next day after class, I had to take a bus to go back home. I forgot to see the bus route when I got on. Therefore, when the bus was more and more far from my home, I felt anxious. Finally, I got the last stop, and then took the same bus back home. When I told my parents my story, they never thought it is a mistake, on the contrary, they thought it is a useful experience. From then on, I dont let them meet me after school any more.

Recently, I have seen an impressive film—“Meet the Parents”, which is about

a woman Palm brought her boyfriend Greg to her parents’ home to spend holiday.

In the film, Greg was so dishonest to Palm’s parents that Palm’s father is

suspicious of his behavior and quality. As a result, Greg is obnoxious to all

and has to leave. As far as I am concerned, the consequence is heavily caused by

his dishonesty. If Greg could be real him all the time, he would get much

respect and appreciation and would not get much frustration. From the film, I

have learned that being honest was extremely important and necessary. In other

words, being honest is a basic principle for us to deal with others.

For one thing, we will not get others’ trust unless we are honest. If we

deceive others, we would get the same in return, and even no one would make

friends with us or even communicate with us. For another, we will get others’

respect and appreciation if telling the truth. Telling the truth and being

ourselves, we will get a healthy and peaceful surrounding to grow up better.

However, something strange happens in our society. There is a strange

phenomenon that honest people suffer but the dishonest benefit a lot. It made

some people have a suspicion that being honest is not so important.

But I still believe that these are just a few cases, since honesty is

deeply rooted in our minds and we still consider it as a basic principle in

social contacts.

There is a library in every university, some schools pay special attention

to the building of the library, because the library always on behalf of

presentation of a school. We can find all kinds of books in the room, library

provides convenience, but it still has space to improve.

On the one hand, we can check the information and go to the library every

day. It is open all the week, and the time is from 8 o’clock to 10 o’clock. For

students, they can go to the place all the time. What’s more, the book they want

is easy to find, they can check on the computer, and find the number

quickly.

On the other hand, the library needs to improve its equipment. The books on

the library are very old, it is not good for students to do some research paper.

The amount of the computer is not enough, I always find the students wait for

the computer, while some students need to use the computer for a long time. So

there will be better if increase the number of the computer.

Despite these drawbacks, I am generally pleased with the library and hope

that it will continue to make improvement in the future.

Today is the annual traditional festival in China, "Spring Festival". The morning sun was still in bed, I was like the sound of firecrackers to wake up. I get up and wash, this is my brother and sister have been wearing new clothes neat and I go to visit my grandparents and grandparents give us pay New Years call, each made a big red, I opened the door to stay, which contained a $100 bill, I like to eat honey, happy the flowers.
