I am xx.  I was born in xx.  I graduate from senior high school and major in English.  I started learning English since I was 12 years old.  My parents have a lot of American friends.  That’s why I have no problem communicating with Americans or others by speaking English.

In my spare time, I like to do anything relating to English such as listening to English songs, watching English movies or TV programs, or even attending the activities held by some English clubs or institutes.  I used to go abroad for a short- term English study.  During that time, I learned a lot of daily life English and saw a lot of different things.

I think language is very interesting.  I could express one substanceby using different sounds.  So I wish I could study and read more English literatures and enlarge my knowledge.

Good afternoon， teachers.

I am very glad to be here for this interview. First let me introduce myself. My name is abc， 25 years old. I come from Weifang， a beautiful city of Shandong Province. I graduated from Commercial College in July，2001 and major in finance. Then， I was a teacher in abc， When I was a senior school student，I am interested in thought and began to read a certain classic work of Marxism， especially I finished reading “the florilegium of Mao ZeDong”。 From then on， I have dabbled in more and more theoretical works and accumulated great interests in theory study， especially in Marxism.

I have a dream， a dream of my study. I wish devote my whole life and energy into the development of the Marxism. If I have the opportunity to study in abc University， I‘ll dabble in as much as document about the specialty as possible. If it is possible， I want to get the primary accomplishment in my major， at least， a stable basis.

Personally， for today‘s China， the first task to the development of Marxism is a process of construction. That’s to say， we should understand Marxism mostly from the aspect of construction and development of social society. Only when our socialistic country has a more rapid and balance development than the capitalistic， we can enhance the attractiveness and persuasion of Marxism eventually.

My Mother

My mother is just over fifty, a little bit older than our republic nation, so she has experienced two periods just like our country, showing both the traditional goodness and modern ideas.

Like all mothers, she is responsible and devotes most of her efforts to our family. So sometimes I feel regretful for her to give up her work, but she thinks it is the proper social role for a woman to be a housewife. She is satisfied with the family members＇ achievements. She insists on keeping her children under her wings. You see how traditional she is.

However, since she is intelligent①and has received the high education, it is easy for her to accept something new. In recent years, she is interested in the stock②. Therefore, she cares about the political and economic③ situation of the country and the world, and actively collects information of the companies whose stocks she bought. What is more, she is a fan of the Argentine④football team. So she was very sad after the defeat of this team in the 14th World Cup Tournament ⑤.

I love my mother, just because she loves me. Since we share some interests such as playing chess, we get chances to communicate⑥with each other, which makes us close friends.

【词语解释】

①intelligent[in＇telidN nt] a．聪明的；明智的

②stock[st&k] n．股票

③economic[?i:k ＇n&mik] a．经济（上）的

④Argentine [＇a:dN ntain] a．阿根廷的

⑤tournament [＇tu n m nt]n．锦标赛；比赛

⑥communicate[k ＇mju:nikeit]v．交流（感情、信息等）

【写法指要】

这是一篇介绍家庭成员的说明文。本文是典型的启、承、转、合结构的文章。“启”就是开始，即引言段，作者在该段写出篇题：“showing both traditional goodness and modern ideas”，指出“母亲”既保持了传统美德，又接受了现代意识。“承”即接续之意，也就是扩充引言段篇题方面的内容。本文第二段写“母亲”的传统美德，就是“承”的段落。“转”是用来表示与第二段相反或不同意见的内容，常用“however，but”等词语来表达。本文第三段即为“转”段，它说明篇题的第二层意思，也就是“母亲”的现代意识。所谓“合”就是结束，即指结尾段，该段往往综合前三段内容，对全文做一总结。本文作者总结说，由于母亲和自己的情趣相同，所以他们相亲相爱，如同亲密无间的朋友似的。

《 Notre Dame cathedral》 is one known far and wide romantic faction  strength which Victor Hugo writes . I take advantage of this summer  vacation free time, read this great work.

Notre Dame cathedrals story, actually was one at that time social  epic poem, since brimmed with really.  Friendly.  Beautiful, also the  flow selfish desire and is false.  Regardless of is good beautiful Asmelada ,or has the ugly semblance, Cacimodo with one pure mind, they represent the great amount the  lower level populace which suppresses;  Perhaps is sinister Coloud, he is appears by the theocracy face, all load bearing one kind of  authors ponder.The author in this work, for with the clown, was beautifully friendly  and wickedly does the best annotation, or take above three people as  the example, the rebel Asmelada has the  beautiful semblance and the chaste good mind, as well as pitiful  destiny, but Cacimodo, he withstood destiny deceive  nicely, the innermost feelings is his misery is graver, but Coloud maintained the benighted social rights and interests, he had brutally. Void mind and evil passion.  Good person physique hateful, but the  evil person actually says the appearance shore however, bright set  off, social unfair manifest.

But the article result also is when the opposition society until  criticism:  All beautiful is good all swallows by the might and the  evil, the lower level peoples weak strength in under the king power  rule, in the benighted society, only can be reduced to ashes.  Was  palatial Notre Dame cathedral, how many world tragedy testimony once,  in Hugo the novel, he as if had the life breath, he sheltered Asmelada ,exposed Coloud the crime, regret the  populace attack the magnificent feat which dark actually heroically  devoted...

Another the question which is worth pondering is:  Who is the hero?  Asmelada or Cacimodo?  I  think all is not, but is in the article by the Louis 11 rank smell of  blood suppression rather for sacreficed the populace gate, Asmelada with Cacimodo is not in  them the representative, Asmelada is loves  with the beautiful symbol, Cacimodo not many represents is unfortunate  and the pain.  But they, all suffer a tragic middle ages ignorant evil forces devastate, one each one painful soul is bleeding, flows the  tear.  Merely is Notre Dame cathedrals above engraves " the destiny  "?  They are in middle ages France, despotism sacrificial victim.

The entire story rich tragic color, the plot intense is moving,  exciting.  Author Hugo through " Notre Dame cathedral " this story,  but also disclosed at that time the dark societys essence to the  people.  This fascinating story likes that Ccimodo clocks  sound equally shocks several generation of readers minds.

[小学英语作文自我介绍

大家好！我叫**，来自江苏**。很高兴能够走入学术氛围浓厚的****学院。毕竟，对于每一位学子来说，本科，都是一个值得用花季年华去拼搏的理想。如今，它更是成为青春的驿站，梦想的舞台，奋斗的蓝天。

为了这个从小就扎根在心里的梦想，我们努力，我们奋斗，在忙碌的高中生活，我们只知道必须努力做完每一份试卷，考好每一次质检，在每一个考场中都表现出色。甚至，我们没有时间问问自己会不会白白的辛苦。

今天，终于来到了**，来到了美丽的大学校园。其实，在今年的三月份，我曾经4次踏入这座有着悠久历史的城市。可是呢，那些传说中美丽如画的风景区：中山陵，莫愁湖，秦淮河，夫子庙，当时我却从没有想过要去看一看。那些颇有名气的小吃，我也没有想过要去尝一尝。新街口那些繁华的商业中心，我更没有想去逛一逛。

为什么呢？因为我很清楚我来**的目的是参加艺术类广播电视编导的考试。记得那时侯为了给自己多一种选择的机会，我在老师和同学困惑的目光中，常常背着小提琴清晨4点就坐上了南下的列车。

那是一段怎样的日子呢？一边忙于文化课的复习，一边又要坚持练习小提琴协奏曲梁祝，一边背诵着历史地理课本，一边又得拿出时间看影评，编故事，练习现场评论，命题演讲。甚至是有一些基础的素描，也不敢放松。大家可能知道：在南京艺术学院的隔壁就是一个公园，我从报考南艺时的看考场，初试，看榜，复试，再到去省统考所在地南师大，我不清楚一共要经由这个公园多少次，8次？又或者是10次？但是直到今天我都不知道那个公园的名字究竟叫什么？

当南京艺术学院专业考试分数下来，全省第五名的成绩也并没有给我带来喜悦。我还是在学习，在练琴，一丝一毫都不敢懈怠。老师说：你文化课成绩已经不错了，为什么还要搞艺术？同学说：你的小提琴水平早已通过了中国音乐学院8级考试，为什么还要练琴直到深夜呢？我不知道应该如何回答，只知道必须努力，甚至竭尽全力。为了梦想，为了能够步入大学的殿堂。

终于梦想成真了，我热爱艺术，但我更热爱的是汉语言文学。尽管我放弃了艺术，但是曾经为艺术洒下的汗水并没有浪费，因为艺术本来就能够帮助我们更好的理解文学，使文学与艺术相互结合，开出美丽的花，结出幸福的果。

我真诚的希望在老师和同学的帮助下能够把自己在艺术领域的特长在汉语言文学专业上得到发挥。可以有机会为我们专业的发展，学校的发展贡献出自己的一份力量。

谢谢大家！

University, a place that people yearn for. There have their own space and time, after school can be the light of heart from care and your love shopping, can boldly go hand in hand to see the teacher also satisfied a smile in the campus, you can sleep in the class is not afraid of being punished teacher, can occasionally to the Internet in the dormitory, so the fairys life can not worth we yearn for it? The university is simply a human being.

I am envious when I hear such a student life, because I also yearn for this kind of life. Happy days came at last, and I jumped into my long - worshipped college life like a rabbit. Unfortunately, I was not there to find happiness, more disappointed and confused about life. A day may be one or two classes, no homework, no sooner or later self study. Twelve years of draconous and stressful life suddenly changed, like a tight rubber band that suddenly loosened. The result of such a sudden relaxation is to get up at night in the daytime, to accept the radiation of the computer and not to ask the teachers star knowledge. This kind of life is free, but how long can it persist? Enter the university are ambitious, in order to find a good job, but now lost to this temptation......

Im just a freshman, I know a lot in this year, and I have learned a lot of things that I dont have in many books. Dont be addicted to the immortal life of the University. University is a good platform for development. Just because everyone is obsessed with this kind of life, students who study hard a little bit will have a good future. The life of the university is not easy, even more pressure than the pressure of high school life. Why do you say that? If universities want to realize their dreams, they cant relax themselves and enhance their self-control ability. When other students go online, they should stay in the study room or study in the library when they go shopping. And the university is also half a society, to have its own interpersonal relationship, and to speak the corresponding responsibility. If what position in the school, but also for the appreciation of their own to do some "small abacus." The parents who go to school are not around, and some things have to learn to take their own ideas. Like a flower growing in a greenhouse, it is now suddenly taken away to go through the baptism of rain and rain.

So, easy and comfortable college life is that those who have no pursuit will say it. I hope all of our college students are in the pursuit of the ideal road not to stand in the sight of the spectacle and forget where they are going.

I have two good friends. Theyre Zhang Ping and Jim. Zhang Ping is 12. Jim is three years older than her. Hes 15.

Jim is heavier than Zhang Ping. Hes 60 kilograms. Jim is taller than her. Hes 162cm. Zhang Ping is a Chinese girl. She lives in Xinhui. Jim is a Canadian boy. He lives in Guangzhou now. Zhang Ping likes red. Her favorite sport is badminton.

Jim likes blue. His favorite sport is swimming. I like them very much.

Where possible, reduce the use of "which," "who" "that" "whom" "whether... or not" etc.
