Dear Haiqing,

I am very sorry to learn that you are unhappy now. But I don‘ t think you

should be unhappy.

I know that your iamily is not rich. So your parents can‘ t afford to buy

you something of famous brands, which makes you unhappy. But they have sent you

to school so that you can receive good education and have abreght future. This

is not easy for your parents. So you should think about your parents. Don‘t ask

for something that is out of your parents‘ reach. Don‘ t be vain-glorious.

I also thind you should put your heart into study. Read more books and then

you can get a lot from reading. Without the famous brand competition you will

become happy.

I hope I can help you out of unhappiness. Wish you happy.

Yours,

Huang Ping

Good morning,everyone! I`m very happy to have this chance to give my

presentation. Before I start my speech, please let me ask you a question. Do you

think you are confident in yourself? If you are, do please raise your hand.

My topic today is “ to Be a Confident Person.”

What is confidence? Confidence is to trust yourself. Confidence is to look

upon yourself. It is not to indulge in self-admiration. It is not to get

extremely arrogant. It is not to get dizzy with success or to be opinionated. It

is just to inspire yourself ahead of a quality of mind, in high spirit, full of

energy. It is to meet the challenges of life in a positive mood. It is to

overcome your inferiority, farewell, to get rid of the trouble of a a ready-made

panacea.

Remember, I have just entered junior high school. In the face of the

challenge of new environment, in the face of so many new courses and learning

contents, I lost faith in my own and gradually developed a psychological sense

of inferiority. Achievement glided ceaselessly. It is a teacher and mother who

encouraged me and let me regain confidence. Gradually, my grades got higher and

higher and everything began to go on well. Gradually I adapted to the life in

middle school.

Friends, lets say goodbye to inferiority. Let’s be a confident person.

Because: only if you have self-confidence, can you control yourself; only if you

have confidence, can you achieve success and create your a brilliant life of

your own!

大家好!

今天我演讲的题目是：做一个自信的人。

什么是自信?自信，就是自己信得过自己，自己看得起自己。它，不是孤芳自赏，也不是夜郎自大，更不是得意忘形和自以为是;而是激励自己奋发进取的一种心里素质，是以高昂的斗志，充沛的干劲迎接生活挑战的一种乐观情绪;是战胜自己，告别自卑，摆脱烦恼的一种灵丹妙药。

还记得，我刚刚升入初中时，面对新的环境，面对那么多的新的课程和学习内容，我对自己失去了信心，逐渐产生了自卑心理，成绩不断下滑，是老师和妈妈及时帮助我、鼓励我，让我重新找回自信。渐渐的，我的学习成绩及各个方面都有明显进步，逐渐适应了初中的生活。

朋友们，让我们告别自卑，做一个自信的人吧。因为：只有拥有自信，才能拥有自我;只有拥有自信，才能走向成功，才能创造自己辉煌的人生。

Hello!

你好!

In life, there are some things that are really difficult to say clearly; maybe one of my actions makes you have a great view; but to tell the truth, I always have an idea that good friends must not have anything to do with money; not that I am too realistic, but that there are some things, as long as the money is linked, how deep feelings will eventually be unhappy and dispersed.

人生之中，有一些事情，真的很难说清楚;也许我的一个行为，就让你产生了极大的看法;可是说实话，我一直有一个观念，好朋友之间，一定不能跟金钱有任何挂勾;不是我太现实，而是有一些事情，只要跟钱挂勾了以后，那么有多深的感情，最后都会不欢而散。

As a stable working person, I always think you should do a good job and make some achievements in your work. So when you borrow money from me to do business, I really disapprove of 10,000 people. I think people should not be too greedy in this life. Because you are an iron rice bowl person, if you do business, then your stable life will be broken. For my friend, Ive been trying to persuade you, but I believe you must have misunderstood me.

作为一个有稳定工作的你，我一直觉得你应该要好好工作，在工作上有所建树;所以当你向我借钱做生意的时候，我真的一万个不赞成;我觉得人这一生，不应该太贪心;因为你是一个端铁饭碗的人，如果做了生意以后，那么你稳定的生活，就将会被打破;所以作为朋友，我一直在劝你，但是我相信你一定误解了我。

To tell you the truth, when you ask to borrow money, I can say that I am not without money; but I think that there will be problems between friends if they have something to do with money; if you ask me to borrow money because you are in urgent need, then I will never hesitate; but if you take money to do business, then it must be risky; if you make money, then there will be risks between brothers. It must be easy to say, but if you lose money, will our relationship survive when I ask for money?

说实话，当你开口借钱的时候，我可以说，我并不是没有钱;而是我觉得，朋友之间，如果跟钱扯上关系以后，那么就一定会出问题;你要是因为急用，找我借钱，那么我决不犹豫;可是你是把钱拿去做生意，那么这一定是有风险的;如果你赚钱了，那么兄弟之间，都一定好说;可是如果你亏了，当我找你要钱的时候，我们的关系还能保存吗?

Maybe you really dont understand me very well, thats what youve always been thinking; if a person borrows money from me to do business, I wont borrow it either; if a person has difficulty borrowing money from me, I can help him borrow it without me; because I think that doing business and encountering difficulties are two different purposes; so I didnt lend money to you, so I let you see so much. Law.

也许你真的不太理解我，在一直的观念就是如此;如果一个人找我借钱做生意，我有没有我都不会借;如果一个人有困难找我借钱，我没有我都可以帮他找人借;因为我认为做生意和遇到困难，这是两个不同的用途;所以我才没有借钱给你，才让你有了那么大的看法。

You said that since then, our brotherhood has ceased; in fact, I feel very sad to hear such words; do you mean that our brotherhood is measured by money? In my opinion, you dont treat me as a brother at all; if you treat me as a brother, then I believe you wont say that and ask me to borrow money; because the real brother must be pure and never have anything to do with money.

你说从此以后，我们兄弟之情就断了;其实听到这样的话，我觉得很伤心;难道说，我们兄弟之情，就是用金钱来衡量的吗?在我看来，你根本就不把我当兄弟;如果你把我当兄弟，那么我相信你就不会说这种话，也不会找我开口借钱;因为真正的兄弟，一定是纯洁的，跟金钱永远也不会扯上关系。

In this society, money is really not a good thing; if you dont have money, people will look down on you, and if you have money, they will borrow it from you; if you have it, what is it? But when I cant borrow it, then I will become an enemy between brothers and friends, so instead of becoming an enemy in the end, why dont I borrow it from the beginning?

在这个社会之中，钱这个东西，真的不是一个好东西;没钱那么别人看不起你，有钱别人又要找你借;有借有还，这还没有什么?可是当借了以后，还不起的时候，那么兄弟之间，朋友之间，就会成了为仇人;所以与其最后都会成为仇人，那么我何不从一开始，就不要借。

Dear Lily,

How is everything? I do not see you for a long time, and I miss you very

much. So I write to you. I was very busy in the last month, because I have much

homework to do. The final exam is coming, so I must work hard. Besides, I must

learn piano very two days. It takes me some time, but I feel happy. These are my

life in recent. And what’s yours? I am looking forward to your letter and tell

me about your life.

Sincerely Yours,

Carla

Dear friends,

Hello!

How have you been doing? Are you okay? Where did you go this summer

vacation? I now introduce a good place to you, that is my hometown. My hometown

is He Street, which is about 20 kilometers away from the downtown of Hezhou

City. It is surrounded by mountains on all sides with a wide basin in the

middle.

When you are driving on the road, you will involuntarily look around the

surrounding mountains: the mountains on the east are like a giant Chinese

dragon, winding and winding; the mountains on the west are like high humps with

continuous peaks; the mountains on the south are plum red. The small tree on the

hill to the north is green. If you walk on a mountain path and look up at the

blue sky, the blue sky is like a blue belt; looking down on the earth, the earth

is like a beautiful picture. Isnt this living in a fairyland?

When you walk out of the mountains, you will clearly hear the crowing of

chickens, the singing of children and the bells of the mountain village

elementary school. At this time, the appearance of the mountain village will be

revealed before your eyes: a brand-new cement road leads directly to the

entrance of the village; small bungalows are strewn together; under the sun,

industrious people are watering and fertilizing the rice fields. The village

here is like a pearl, inlaid on the placket of the lichen.

When you come to my home, the hospitable grandparents will bring out their

own peanuts, bean sour, radish sour, mung bean porridge and other delicious

things to greet you, and tell you the fun that will never be finished. s

story……

Dear friend, in fact, there is nothing peculiar about my hometown. It can

be said that it cannot be simpler or simpler, but the unique charm of the

mountain and the unique taste of the person are not worth your visit. ? You are

welcome to come and play!

I wish you learning progress! May all go well with you!

Yours,

亲爱的朋友：

你好!

你近来好吗?身体还好吧?今年暑假你去哪里玩了?我现在介绍一个好地方给你，那就是我的家乡。我的家乡在贺街，它距贺州市城区约20公里，它四面环山，中间是宽广盆地。

当你乘车走在路上时，你会不由自主地环视四周的群山：东边的山像一条中华巨龙，蜿蜒盘旋;西边的山想高高的驼峰，峰岭连绵;南边的山上李子红了;北边的山上小树绿了。如果你走在山间小路，仰望蓝天，蓝天像一条碧蓝的带子;俯视大地，大地像一幅美丽的图画。这难道不是生活在仙境中吗?

当你从群山中走出来时，就会清晰听见鸡鸣犬叫，还有孩子们的歌声和山村小学的钟声。这时，山村的容貌便会展现在你眼前：一条崭新的水泥路直通村口;一幢幢小洋房错落有致;阳光下，勤劳的人们在稻田里浇水、施肥。这里的村庄就像一颗珍珠，镶嵌在大地衣襟上。

当你来到我的家时，热情好客的爷爷奶奶便会拿出自家产的花生、豆角酸、萝卜酸、绿豆粥等等好吃的东西招呼你，给你讲永远也讲不完的有趣的故事……

亲爱的朋友，其实我的家乡并没有什么奇特之处，可以说简单得不能再简单，朴实得不能再朴实，可是它那山独特的魅力，那人独特的情趣，难道不值得你来看看吗?欢迎你来玩哦!

祝你：学习进步!万事如意!

今天是元宵节。我非常快乐，元宵节是中国节日，每年一次。

我非常喜欢元宵节。

I‘ve loved my mother’s desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as Mother sat doing letters. Standing by her chair， looking at the ink bottle， pens， and white paper， I decided that the act of writing must be the most wonderful thing in the world.

Years later，during her final illness，Mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk”， she said， “is for Elizabeth”。

I never saw her angry， never saw her cry. I knew she loved me， she showed it in action. But as a young girl， I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter.

They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional”。 But she lived “on the surface”

As years passed and I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive me.

I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came.

My hope turned to disappointment，then little interest， finally， peace——it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn‘t be sure that the letter had even got to Mother. I only knew that I had written it， and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.

Now the present of her desk told me， as she‘d never been able to， that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work， I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside——a photo of my father and a one-page letter， folded and refolded many times.

Give me an answer， my letter asks， in any way you choose， Mother， you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.

[英语作文我的知心朋友

A friend is a lamp, guide you; when you lost A friend is an umbrella, zhefengdangyu for you when you difficult; A friend is a fire, warm you when you have the cold; A friend is...

My friend is an honest modesty, learning super nice man, he did not talk much, at ordinary times but gushing in helping me. In my mind, he was the one who can do real friends.

About me and his story, it was three days and three nights also said not over. Remember that a few days before the final exam last semester, I suddenly a cold have a fever, it can, in order not to affect the final exam, my mother let me temporarily leave an injection, after two or three days sick, but my class fell in, although is not new review period, but a key part of the review but I missed it. I, recovering from a back to school, was like a cat on hot bricks, at that moment, he comes silently behind me, gave me a pat, and then put the book on the table, "I knew you would try so hard, its not, you didnt come to this a few days, I made notes in detail, however, will wait for you to come back, I well give you, so you cant drop too much." Listening to his words, I suddenly realize, looked at his sincere, warm in my heart, even say a word, just nodded his head. Then, he carefully explain the review the content of a few days, I seriously listen, with his help, I put the knowledge learned.

When I need his uninvited; In when I am in trouble, he brought me help; When I get good grades, he happy for me. In my disappointment, he gave me encouragement, he is my true friend.

朋友是明灯,在你失落时指引你;朋友是把伞,在你困难时为你遮风挡雨;朋友是团火,在你寒冷时温暖你;朋友是……

我的朋友是一个诚实谦虚,学习超好的人,他平时的话不多,但在帮助我的时候却滔滔不绝。在我的心目中,他才是可以做真正朋友的人。

说起我和他的故事,那简直是三天三夜也说不完。记得那是上学期期末考试的前几天,我突然感冒发烧了,实在打不起精神,为了不影响期末考试,妈妈让我暂时请假打针,过了两三天病就好了,可我的课却落下了一大截,虽然是复习期间没有新课,但复习的关键部分我却错过了。大病初愈的我回到学校时,急得就像热锅上的蚂蚁,就在这时,他悄悄地来到我身后,轻轻地拍了我一下,然后把书本摆在桌上,“我就知道你会着急,这不,你没来这几天,我可是详细地做了笔记,就等你回来,我好给你讲,这样你就不能落下太多了。”听了他的话,我恍然大悟,望着他那诚恳的模样,我心里热呼呼的,一时间竟然说不出话来,只是点了点头。然后,他仔细地讲解着这几天复习的内容,我认真地听着,在他的帮助下,我把落下的知识学会了。

在我需要时,他不请自来;在我困难时,他给我帮助;在我取得好成绩时,他替我高兴;在我失望时,他给我鼓励,他就是我真正的朋友。

I have many friends, but Jim is one of my best friends. He is not handsome,

but kind-hearted. We know each other at primary school. He was the tallest in

our class at that time. He is good at study and playing basketball, while bad at

playing table tennis. Everytime he has delicious food, he will give it to me.

Moreover, whenever I feel sad, he will play with me and comfort me. However, he

is not spoilt me. For example, everytime I meet difficulties in study, I would

like to copy his, but no matter what I say, he never give his homework to me to

copy. Instead he teaches how to do it. All in all, no matter what difficulties I

meet, he will help me. It is him make me realize that a friend in need is a

friend indeed.

Improve our environment

Good environment can make people feel happy. To improve the environment means to qualify our life . What should we do to improve our environment ?

We should plant more trees . And we should prevent those factories from pouring waste water into rivers , lakes and fields . Whenever we see litter on the ground , we should pick it up and throw it into a dustbin . Don’t spit in public places . Don’t draw on public walls . It’s our duty to keep our earth clean and tidy .

良好的环境能使人觉得愉快。改善环境，使我们的生活。我们应该做什么来改善我们的环境?

我们应该种更多的树。我们应该阻止那些工厂废水流入河流，湖泊和田野。每当我们看到地上的垃圾，我们应该把它捡起来扔到垃圾桶。不要在公共场所吐痰。不要在公共墙上画。这是我们的职责，保持地球的干净和整洁的。

The weather of today is very comfortable, though the weather forecast said

it is cloudy, but just a little bit rain, very cool.The weather forecast said it

is cloudy, and friends are about to play basketball, but unfortunately, in the

rain it can not play. after afternoon the rain stopped to help my mother to buy

food supermarket. Generally it was not bad mood today.

今天的天气很舒适，虽然天气预报说今天是阴天，但只是一点点的雨，很cool.The天气预报说今天是阴天，和朋友约打篮球，但不幸的是，在雨中它不能玩。下午雨停后要帮妈妈买菜的超市。通常它不是今天心情不好。

What is the most important thing in the world? I think it is health.You can

take away our money, house, car, or even our clothes and we can survive. But if

our health was taken away, we would surely die. That is why we always try to eat

in a healthy way and exercise regularly.

什么是世界上最重要的事情?我想，答案应该是健康。我们可以在没有钱、房子、车子，甚至衣服的情况下，活着。但是如果我们的健康被带走了，我们肯定就活不下去了。这就是为什么我们总是努力以一种健康的方式吃东西和规律地运动。

In order to eat healthily, I usually avoid eating food high in fat, like

french fries or cookies. I also eat little meat. I eat a lot of vegetables and

fresh fruit which are full of vitamins. Taking exercise every day helps us build

a strong body. Regular exercise is an important part of keeping me healthy.

为了能吃得健康，我常常避免吃高脂肪的食物，比如炸薯条或甜点。我也很少吃肉。我会吃很多的蔬菜和富含维他命的新鲜水果。每天做运动有助于我们拥有强健的身体。有规律的运动是我们保持身体健康的一个重要部分。

Whats more, I think friends are an important part of ones health. Many

studies show that people with a wide range of social contacts get sick less than

those who dont. I always feel better when I am with friends than when I am

alone. When I am with my friends, I always laugh. Laughing is also an important

part of health. I like to laugh with my friends.

还有，我认为，朋友也是让我们保持健康的重要部分。许多研究显示，有复杂人际关系的人比较不容易得病。当我与朋友一起时，我总是感觉比单独一个人好。当我与朋友一起时，我总是笑声不断。欢笑也是健康的重要组成部分。我喜欢和朋友一起大笑。

By eating properly and exercising regularly, I can keep my body at a proper

weight and keep healthy. By spending time with my friends, I can keep my mind as

well as my body happy. These things sound easy to do, but not many people can

manage them. I think a strong will is necessary if we want to keep healthy.

通过合理的饮食和规律性的运动，我可以保持身体健康和体重适中。与朋友一起的时光，可以让我的思想和身体一样开心。这些事情听起来很容易去做，但没有很多人能成功做到。我想，我们如果想要健康，那强大的意愿是需要的。

My son Joey was born with club feet. The doctors assured us that with treatment he would be able to walk normally — but would never run very well. The first three years of his life were spent in surgery, casts and braces. By the time he was eight, you wouldnt know he had a problem when you saw him walk .

The children in our neighborhood ran around as most children do during play, and Joey would jump right in and run and play, too. We never told him that he probably wouldnt be able to run as well as the other children. So he didnt know.

In seventh grade he decided to go out for the cross—country team. Every day he trained with the team. He worked harder and ran more than any of the others — perhaps he sensed that the abilities that seemed to come naturally to so many others did not come naturally to him. Although the entire team runs, only the top seven runners have the potential to score points for the school. We didnt tell him he probably would never make the team, so he didnt know.

He continued to run four to five miles a day, every day — even the day he had a 103—degree fever. I was worried, so I went to look for him after school. I found him running all alone. I asked him how he felt. "Okay," he said. He had two more miles to go. The sweat ran down his face and his eyes were glassy from his fever. Yet he looked straight ahead and kept running. We never told him he couldnt run four miles with a 103—degree fever. So he didnt know.

Two weeks later, the names of the team runners were called. Joey was number six on the list. Joey had made the team. He was in seventh grade — the other six team members were all eighth—graders. We never told him he shouldnt expect to make the team. We never told him he couldnt do it. We never told him he couldnt do it...so he didnt know. He just did it.

我的儿子琼尼降生时，他的双脚向上弯弯着，医生向我们保证说经过治疗，小琼尼可以像常人一样走路，但像常人一样跑步的可能性则微乎其微。琼尼3岁之前一直在接受治疗，和支架、石膏模子打交道。七八岁的时候，他走路的样子已让人看不出他的腿有过毛病。

邻居的小孩子们做游戏的时候总是跑过来跑过去。毫无疑问小琼尼看到他们玩就会马上加进去跑啊闹的。我们从不告诉他不能像别的孩子那样跑，我们从不说他和别的孩子不一样。因为我们不对他说，所以他不知道。

七年级的时候，琼尼决定参加跑步横穿全美的比赛。每天他和大伙一块训练。也许是意识到自己先天不如别人，他训练得比任何人都刻苦。训练队的前7名选手可以参加最后比赛，为学校拿分。我们没有告诉琼尼;也许会落空，所以他不知道。

他坚持每天跑4~5英里。我永远不会忘记有一次，他发着高烧，但仍坚持训练。我为他担心，于是去学校看他，发现他正在一个人沿着长长的林荫道跑步呢。我问他感觉怎么样，"很好。"他说。还剩下最后两英里。他满脸是汗，眼睛因为发烧失去了光彩。然而他目不斜视，坚持着跑下来。我们从没有告诉他不能发着高烧去跑4英里的路，我们从没有这样对他说，所以他不知道。

两个星期后，在决赛前的3天，长跑队的名次被确定下来。琼尼是第六名，他成功了。他才是个七年级生，而其余的人都是八年级生。我们从没有告诉他不要去期望入选，我们从没有对他说他不会成功。是的，从没说起过……所以他不知道，但他却做到了!
