Subject: Application for annual leave

Dear Mr. Smith，

I would like to apply for an annual leave from January 25th to 31st.

As you may know the Spring Festival is falling on February 1st this year. Its the most important holiday in China and offers the best occasion for family reunion. However, over the past 3 years I missed the reunions due to tight work schedule. Now that I have wrapped up my work for this year, I would like to go back to my hometown to pay filial piety to my parents and help my sole brother prepare his wedding on January 28th.

Its indeed double happiness for my family that I would like to be part of. Coupled with the official holidays for the Spring Festival, I will have two weeks off which will definitely gear me up for better work in the new year. Im looking forward to your kind answer.

Best regards,

George Chen

When winter comes, especially the cold wind blows, I dont want to go out

of the house. Though the outdoor activity is limited, I still can find a lot of

things to do. The happiest thing for me is to eat hot pot with my families, at

the same time, we watch TV show. Doing these two things together can help us

better communicate and enjoy the family hour. The second thing I want to do is

to stay in bed and play computer. The warmness makes me feel so comfortable. I

will bring some snacks and then enjoy watching movies. Staying indoors also can

make me happy.

Dear Sue,

How are you? I obtained your name and address from Pen Pal International. I am very glad to write to you and we become pen pals.

Let me first introduce myself. Im currently working as an English teacher at Shanghai Onlytoya College. I graduated from Shanghai Foreign Languages University in 1988, majoring in English literature and linguistics. I got my Masters degree in pragmatics in 1998. I like playing erhu (a kind of Chinese musical instrument) and listening to pop music. I am also very interested in traveling. Oh, yes, I am a great bar-goer!

描写朋友的英语作文带翻译 This summer, I will be traveling to Australia. I will be attending a conference on behalf of my college in Sydney from July 10 to 16. After the conference, I plan to do some sightseeing in Australia, maybe five more days. If you are free, I would be very happy to meet you in person. Perhaps we could have lunch together.

Well, let me finish here. I am already eagerly awaiting your reply to this first letter. Please tell me all about yourself and your interests. I hope we can become good friends.

Yours truly,

Kenny Gao

The oceanside community of Lozano Beach is debating whether to allow homeowners to rent out their homes on a weekly basis during the summer. Such rentals produce high incomes for the owners and the city, which gets part of this income through a 15-percent surcharge to the owner. “This can be a boon to our coffers,” said Rick Brown, city manager. “In the summer, homeowners can bring in $2,000 a week or more.”

However, these rentals can also be a can of worms. The city stopped allowing weekly rentals 10 years ago because of the problems they were generating. Two, three, or even four families would pile into a two- or three-bedroom house. Then they would park their cars on the lawn and produce huge amounts of trash. Sometimes they would toss this trash on the streets and sidewalks.

Noise would be another problem. Some people would party late and loud every night. This abuse created a lot of friction with neighbors and resulted in extra work for city maintenance crews and for police, who had to respond almost hourly to residents’ complaints about noise, music, trash, and parking problems. But now, the city’s budget problems are making it reconsider its ban.

City officials will hold a community meeting next week to listen to the pros and cons. One official has already suggested a proposal. He thinks that a fine might work. If the city has to respond to complaints, the homeowner will be charged $200 per response. Such a fine might cause the homeowner to be careful to rent only to people that he is sure will be considerate of the neighbors. The city would still get 15 percent of the rental fee, even if the homeowner’s rent were totallyoffset by fines. The city would post inconsiderate renters’ names on the city website so that other homeowners would know about them.

Some officials think the ban should be continued because these visitors to the community have already proven that they have no consideration for others. Their money isn’t worth the headaches they cause.

上周末我们和姐姐一家人到滑雪场去玩。

当我们全副武装地走进这个室内滑雪场，感觉来到了一个冰雪世界，走进一会儿我就摔了一大跤，我的脸上粘满了雪。后来爸爸教我滑的时候身子要往前倾才不容易摔跤。然后我按照爸爸的方法重新试了一下，果然好多了。姐姐也好不到哪儿去，叔叔就更好笑了，滑到一半就摔了个四脚朝天呢！本来可以玩4个小时，可是只玩了一个多小时，我们都筋疲力尽了，再也滑不动了。虽然很累，但是我很开心。

During the festival, each family would light firecrackers and paste up Spring Festival couplets, and the relatives and friends would send New Years greetings go each other to wish everything smoothly in the new year.

过年的时候，每家都放鞭炮，贴春联。亲戚朋友之间要相互拜年，预祝在新的一年里事事顺利。

The Chinese people love to stick couplets on the Spring Festival, which are also written on red paper.

春节时，中国人喜欢贴春联，春联也是用红纸写的。

Spring scrolls, also known as spring posts, are poems written on red rice paper to celebrate the New Year.

春联，也叫“春贴”，是人为庆祝春节在红色纸上写下的诗句。

During the Spring Festival,every family pastes the Spring Festival couplets on their doors to express sincere blessings and good wishes.

（春节期间，每家每户都在门口张贴春联以表达真诚美好的祝愿。）

这天，我去吃早餐。只见店里的伙计们端着碗筷忙来忙去。于是我找了一个位子坐下了，一位年轻的伙计走了过来，问我要吃点什么，于是我点了一碗青椒牛肉面。很快，一碗面就出来了。我拿起筷子很快地吃完了。在去学校的路上，我还想着那碗好吃的面。

My father, Winston Churchill, began his love affair with painting in his 40s, amid disastrous circumstances. As First Lord of the Admiralty in 1915, he was deeply involved in a campaign in the Dardanelles that could have shortened the course of a bloody world war. But when the mission failed, with great loss of life, Churchill paid the price, both publicly and privately. He was removed from the admiralty and effectively sidelined.

Overwhelmed by the catastrophe — “I thought he would die of grief,” said his wife, Clementine —he retired with his family to Hoe Farm, a country retreat in Surrey. There, as Churchill later recalled, “The muse of painting came to my rescue!”

Wandering in the garden one day, he chanced upon his sister-in-law sketching with watercolors. He watched her for a few minutes, then borrowed her brush and tried his hand. The muse had cast her spell!

Churchill soon decided to experiment with oils. Delighted with this distraction from his dark broodings, Clementine rushed off to buy whatever paints she could find.

For Churchill, however, the next step seemed difficult as he contemplated with unaccustomed nervousness the blameless whiteness of a new canvas. He started with the sky and later described how “very gingerly I mixed a little blue paint on the palette, and then with infinite precaution made a mark about as big as a bean upon the affronted snow-white shield. At that moment the sound of a motor car was heard in the drive. From this chariot stepped the gifted wife of Sir John Lavery .”

“ ‘Painting!’ she declared. ‘But what are you hesitating about? Let me have the brush — the big one.’ Splash into the turpentine, wallop into the blue and the white, frantic flourish on the palette, and then several fierce strokes and slashes of blue on the absolutely cowering canvas.”

At that time, John Lavery— a Churchill neighbor and celebrated painter— was tutoring Churchill in his art. Later, Lavery said of his unusual pupil: “Had he chosen painting instead of statesmanship, I believe he would have been a great master with the brush.”

In painting, Churchill had discovered a companion with whom he was to walk for the greater part of the years that remained to him. After the war, painting would offer deep solace when, in 1921, the death of the mother was followed two months later by the loss of his and Clementine’s beloved three-year-old daughter, Marigold. Battered by grief, Winston took refuge at the home of friends in Scotland, finding comfort in his painting. He wrote to Clementine: “I went out and painted a beautiful river in the afternoon light with crimson and golden hills in the background. Alas I keep feeling the hurt of the Duckadilly (Marigold’s pet name).”

Historians have called the decade after 1929, when the Conservative government fell and Winston was out of office, his wilderness years. Politically he may have been wandering in barren places, a lonely fighter trying to awaken Britain to the menace of Hitler, but artistically that wilderness bore abundant fruit. During these years he often painted in the South of France. Of the 500-odd canvases extant, roughly 250 date from 1930 to 1939.

Painting remained a joy to Churchill to the end of his life. “Happy are the painters,” he had written in his book Painting as a Pastime, “ for they shall not be lonely. Light and color, peace and hope, will keep them company to the end of the day.” And so it was for my father.

我的父亲，温斯顿·丘吉尔，在他四十多岁时开始迷恋上绘画，当时环境异常恶劣。那是在1915年，任海军大臣的他，积极投身于在达达尼尔海峡的一场战役中，这场战役本可以缩短那段血雨腥风的世界大战。但由于遭受失败，伤亡惨重，丘吉尔于公于私都付出了代价。他被从海军部调离且实则坐起了冷板凳。

在灾难的折磨下——他的妻子克莱门廷说：“我想他会痛苦而死，”——他携家带口来到萨利郡的一处乡间静居霍·华姆。在那儿，丘吉尔后来回忆道，“是绘画中的冥思拯救了我！”

一天他在花园散步时，偶然看到他的弟媳在用水彩作画。他观察了几分钟，然后向她借了画笔并一试身手。他的专注仿佛给他施了魔法！

丘吉尔很快就决定试试去画油画。看到他从阴暗的忧郁思中解脱出来，克莱门廷非常开心，她赶忙去买所有能买到的颜料。

然而，迈出下一步似乎有些困难，因为丘吉尔看到一块新画布的洁白无暇时感到无所适从和为难。他先从天空画起，后来他描述如何“非常谨慎地在调色板上加入一点儿蓝色调，然后以万分的小心，在这块被蓄意冒犯的雪白的防护板上点上豌豆大的一笔。这时，传来一阵驾驶机动车的马达声。约翰·拉威利先生才华出众的太太从这辆车中姗然而下。

“‘在画画呀！’她高声说着。‘可你还在犹豫什么呢？给我那支笔——那支头号的。’只见松油飞溅，她在蓝白颜料间挥毫泼墨，在调色板上龙飞凤舞，接着在吓得发皱的油画布上用力东戳西捣几下蓝色。”

那时，约翰·拉威利——丘吉尔的邻居，也是一位有名的画家—正教丘吉尔学画。后来提及他的这位特殊的学生，拉威利说：“倘若他选择绘画而不是从政，我相信他会是位绘画大师的。”

在绘画中，丘吉尔找到了能陪他度过余生大部分时光的知已。战后，在1921年，母亲刚去世两个月，他和克莱门廷就失去了他们深爱着的三岁女儿玛丽戈尔德，这时作画给了他一些安慰。在痛苦的打击下，温斯顿来到苏格兰朋友们的家中以求得安慰，用绘画来解脱自己。他在给克莱门廷的信中说：“我出外画了一条夕阳下美丽的溪流，背后映衬着晚霞的群山。唉，达克迪莉（玛丽戈尔德的昵称）使我的苦痛总是挥之不去。

史学家把1929年后的十年，也就是保守党政府垮台而温斯顿下台的时间，称为他的荒凉岁月。政治上，他一直在举步维艰的处境中徘徊，是一个孤独的勇士在努力唤起受到希特勒威胁的国人，但在艺术上他在那荒凉岁月却硕果累累。这些年他经常在法国南部作画。在现存的500多张油画中，大约250张是1930至1939年间的作品。

绘画给丘吉尔带来了乐趣直到他的人生尽头。在他所著的《画中的消遣》里说：“画家其乐融融，因为他们不会孤独。光与色，和平与希望，会始终伴随他们。”我父亲就是这样一个人。

This winter vacation, I with my parents to the eastern suburbs Xuelianshan ski skiing.

I decided to try on the flat and smooth, usually the legs move freely at the moment but butingshihuan, like lead, good effort! I use the poles support body to move forward to slide, rows of sliding scars white snow, I feel very proud. But there was the highest hillside in the blue sky that tested me, and I was nervous and worried.

My heart suddenly in his throat, I dont want to be badly bruised! Thought, I decided to walk down the slide, each time you start to slide down choice from the bottom of the slope, and gradually decline of heightening slope, finally goes directly to the top.

No way, modaobuwukanchaigong! Put on a huge set of heavy snowshoes, skis, I step by step carefully from the top to the bottom of the slope to walk. And finally to walk, Im tired of a sudden fall in the snow, just put your skis and poles, a throw, dont want to slip! I really want to eat a meal, sleep, but just not hard in vain? I dont want to be a bear, being laughed at, and he stood up, choose a little gradient slide down the slope. Although the hand and arm is very tired, but I am not discouraged, I finally from the hillside slowly sliding down the bottom of the well.

Carrying my skateboard race again and again, the biting wind let my face is frozen, snow like tens of thousands of needle sharp as a chip on my face, but I dont care so much. I slip side side to memorize the action essentials, suddenly I slipped to the bottom of the slope. Ah, skiing is so exciting, I cant imagine that skiing was so wonderful!

So I learned to skiing slowly and slowly, and I finally dared to slide down the top of the hillside. In a process of gliding, I like a swallow in the wind like light, like an arrow as agile, distant trees quickly back to my ears, soft bottom beckoning me. I succeeded in conquering the high and steep slope!

There is a cat in my house. It has a dark face, but its feet are black and white.

The Hero in My Heart

When people say the word "hero", what will you think? Do you have a hero in your heart? Maybe your hero is a famous singer, a movie star or a great-man. But my hero is around me, who gives me more love than others. She is my mother, the hero in my heart. My mother isnt great in the way of a famous singer or a movie star. She does nothing big, but what she does make others inferior. From her, I learn a lot.

When I was a baby, she taught me how to walk and how to speak. When I go to school, she helps me solve many problems. She also tells me be kind to others. When I do badly in study, she encourages me and tries to cheer me up. My mother is a teacher, and she is always busy with her work. When she corrects students homework, she is always very serious. My mother is responsible to all of her students. She cares much about students study and life, and she tries her best to help students in need.

My mother is a loving mother, a qualified teacher, and a real hero in my heart.

Nowadays, some students don’t help their parents do housework at home.

Some parents love their children too much and don’t let them work at home. On one hand, they think that their children are too busy with their studies and expect them to do well in their lessons only. On the other hand, they think their children don’t know how to do the housework.

However, I think students should help their parents do housework at home. First, that can develop their love for work. Next, that can help them understand their parents better. Last and the most important, that can help them cultivate their ability to live.

It was a sunny morning. My father and mother took me to play in the park. We came to the animal quarter and saw a lot of birds, most notably the ostrich.

The eye of the ostrich is very sharp, its mouth is pointed, the neck is thin and long, the feathers on the body are black, like a small black skirt.

An ostrich can be fun to eat! I put an apple on the fence and saw it back two paces, as if frightened. When it thought I didnt mean anything, I picked the apple up at once. After catching the food, he ate it with relish.

Although the ostrich is not as beautiful as the other birds, I like it very much.

How time flies! I have studied in my school for three years. And I will

graduate from middle school in a month. I am eager to share my happiness and

sadness with you. I had so many memories in three years’ life. One of them

impressed me very much. I still remember, when I began to learn English, I found

it too difficult. No matter how hard I tried, I still couldn’t do well in it and

almost gave it up. As soon as my English teacher found my problem, she had a

talk with me about how to learn English well. Since then, she has kept helping

me. Little by little, I’ve become interested in English and I’m good at it. I

think I am so lucky to become one of her students. I’ve learned a lot from her.

I will try to help others when they are in trouble. I think it is a happy thing

to help others.

Dear Mr and Mrs Brown，

亲爱的布朗夫妇，

听说你们想让我去其他学校上学，这让我很感动。你们对我真好。但是，我现在还不能上学。我现在有稳定的工作，如果我去上学，我就要辞职，此外，我认识一名老师，他是一位著名的画家。闲暇时间里，他会教我画画。你喜欢我的作品，这让我感到非常高兴。我现在正在创作一幅新的作品，我想下个月送你一个复印版。再一次感谢你。

[英文作文写给布朗夫妇的一封信

in the picture, an old lady is sitting in front of a mirror. she is saying to herself in the mirror: "the children are not in my comopany. i feel rather lonely." the picture reveals one of the serious problems of our modern society.

with better living conditions and better medical care, people can live much longer than before. but how to take care of them has become a big problem, which we must cope with seriously.

it is reported that there are more than 160 million people aged over 60 in our country. the percentage of old people is still increasing and many families are confronted with problems coming along with old people. the fast tempo of modern life has left people little time and energy to look after their old parents. on the other hand, some people take their old parents as their burden and treat them badly. as a result, many old people feel neglected and live in great loneliness and helplessness, especially when they are suffering from poor health.

something should be urgently done to help these lonely old people. first of all, those who have old parents should take the responsibility to take good care of them. the government should set up more nursing houses for old people, especially for those who have no children and who are physically and mentally disabled. more importantly, there should be more organizations providing financial, medical and legal assistance for old people. in a word, special efforts should be made to help old people to spend their later years of their lives comfortably and merrily.

求职信通常分为几种类型，包括索取公司应聘申请表及详细资料的不带的求职信，附简历的应征求职信，试探性的求职信等等。 那么，英文有哪些呢？

递交求职信的目的是用求职信来吸引阅读者，而不是一种形式或习惯。打开装有求职信的信封，首先看到的就是求职信，它是表现应聘者个性的工具，想象一下，如果对方看到的是连折叠都不齐整的信纸，还有好心情看下去吗？而结构松散的信会让人觉得写信者条理不清晰。语法拼写或标点的错误太多，则会让人觉得此人办事容易出错，对工作不负责任，公司是不会聘用这样的人的。通常一封求职信的阅读时间是30秒，在这30秒内能体现的实际上是你的风格。而每一个公司都喜欢聘用专业作风很强的有能力的员工。

在招聘广告中，常要求有意申请者可致电或致函索取公司的申请表格。索取这类申请表格的求职信一般都比较简短，格式参照范例。 得到申请表格后，仔细填写后一般与简历一起交给公司。申请表格的填写。

附简历的应征求职信具有向招聘者说明简历和具体求职内容的作用。简历中你已经将自己的职业经历或教育情况列表说明了，在求职信里就应着重表达自己的意见。在求职信里要简短地对简历中提到的与应聘职位有关的职业经历和技能加以说明。但是，只是简单的重复简历里的内容是不够的。要把简历里没有的内容充分添加进去，显示出与其他应聘者的差别。你需要表达的观点是：渴望、确信、真诚（I am keen, I am clear and I am sincere)。在第一段里，陈述你渴望得到这个空缺职位，第二段说明你已了解这项工作和公司的要求，说明你为什么认为你符合它们的招聘条件。第三段讲清你本人希望在何时面试，何时可以上班。第四段采用能使公司相信你对这项工作真正有兴趣的语句结束这封信。

典型的求职信格式是：你的地址写在信纸的右上方，地址下面是写信日期。信纸左上角要写上接受你求职信的人的姓名和尊称其下面是该公司的名称和地址。再下面就是招聘广告中给出的其他相关代码。

试探性的求职信是你主动发给你感兴趣的公司的，这类希望渺茫的却经常能出人意料的取得成功，因为这种申请求职的方法表现出了申请人本身的能力、勇气和激情。

试探性求职申请信应该简洁，讲清楚你对该公司感兴趣的原因，写明你具备的资格以及你认为会引起该公司注意的任何品德。邮寄申请信时，要把也一起寄去。你还需要知道公司里人事经理或部门经理的名字，把直接信寄给他会更有效一些。

可能在很长的一段时间里，你收不到任何回音，那么可以断定该公司目前没有你申请的空缺职位。

放假时间，最好出去游玩放松心情。下面小编带来的是重庆一日游英文作文，希望对你有帮助。

This winter holiday, our family has been driving to a beautiful mountain city in Chongqing.

As soon as we arrived in Chongqing, we understood why Chongqing was called "mountain city". "Mountain city", as the name suggests, is built on the mountain in the city, and the Chengdu plain is completely different, feeling a lot of thought to plan. Its a bit like terrain of rolling hills, most of the house is located on the hillside, there are many overpasses and tunnels. By the way, because the Yangtze River passes through Chongqing, so many bridges have been built, although it is a little messy, but it does not lose their personality.

On the first night in Chongqing, we tasted the authentic Chongqing hot pot. Chongqing is really the birthplace of the real hot pot, a lot of red hot pepper is full of the whole pot, so people can not imagine how hot it is. Although the Chongqing hot pot does not add oyster oil, but it is not less than the Chengdu hot pot. I caught a piece of cooked tofu, smell the smell, naturally ran into my nose; a bite, feel soft; swallow it down my throat and slide down, finally landed in a corner of my stomach, feel itchy, fresh and delicious. Without the slightest greasy feeling. Its delicious!

After eating hot pot, we went to a "tree" in Nanshan. "A tree" is located at the highest level in Chongqing, where we can have a beautiful view of Chongqing. Look, that is the central business building, touch the sky, standing on the edge of the Yangtze River; see, it is located in downtown Monument for Liberation, quietly; see, the light lamp glimmered in the distance, continue to spread around, busy high streets and back lanes, brilliantly illuminated! Look, the lights like salute "karaok" and "bomb", then a bunch of a beam like rocket like, fly to the sky, with the whole of Chongqing, red, yellow, blue, green, purple, more eye-catching in the dark background.

Ah! The beautiful Chongqing is like a city of no night!

......

On the morning of the third day, we departed from the beautiful mountain city of Chongqing with a feeling of satisfaction and very unable to part.

今年寒假，我们全家自驾车到美丽的山城。

刚到重庆，我们便明白了重庆为什么被称为“山城”。“山城”，顾名思义，就是建在山上的城市，和完全不同，感觉很费了些心思来规划。它的地形有点像连绵起伏的小山丘，房子大多数都座落在山坡上，有很多的立交桥和隧道。对了，因为长江穿过重庆，所以还建了很多过江大桥，虽然有点凌乱，但也不失个性。

来重庆的第一天晚上，我们便尝到了正宗的。重庆真是名副其实的火锅发源地，一大堆火红的就占满了整个锅，让人都不敢想象它到底有多辣。虽然没有加，但也丝毫不比成都火锅逊色。我夹了一片煮熟的豆腐干，闻一闻，那香味自然而然地就跑进了我的鼻子；咬一口，觉得软软的；吞下去，它便顺着我的喉咙滑下去，最后落在了我肚子的某个角落里，感觉痒痒的，清爽可口，却没有丝毫的油腻感。好吃极了！

吃完火锅，我们便去了南山的“一棵树”，“一棵树”位于重庆地势最高处，在这里可以将美丽的重庆尽收眼底。看，那是中央商务大楼，高耸入云，矗立在长江边上；看，那是，静静地座落在市中心；看，远处闪烁着的那几盏射灯，不断地向四周扩散开来，繁华的大街小巷，灯火辉煌！看，那信号灯似的礼炮“咻咻咻”、“轰轰轰”，一束接着一束，像火箭筒似的，飞向天空，装点着整个重庆，红的、黄的、蓝的、绿的、紫的，在黑夜的衬托下变得更加绚丽夺目。

啊！美丽的重庆真像是一座不夜城！

……

在第三天早晨，我们怀着恋恋不舍而又十分满足的心情离开了美丽的山城重庆。

My name is Pat and Im from Taiwan. Right now, Im a student. I study very hard every day. I like going to school because Im eager to learn. I enjoy learning English. Its my favorite class. I like to make friends and I get along with everyone. This is the introduction I give whenever I meet new people. It tells people a little bit about me and about what I like to do.

Good morning, everyone! My Name is Lu Xin. I am so happy to stand in front of you to introduce myself. I am thirteen years old. I graduated from the No.1 Primary School of our city. I like reading books and playing badminton. I hope we can take exercises after class. Besides, I like watching movies and listening to pop music. I am sure there are some classmates have the common interests with me. Therefore, we can communicate with each other. In primary school, I did well in Chinese but math is not so good. I hope I can make progress in middle school. I am very excited to be a classmate of you and I hope we can make progress and have good days together.

Usually Saturday night is the time for students to get back to their desks

and do their weekend homework. Six school days are enough for the students who

have many other interests.

I think weekend homework should not be given. With homework arranged for

Saturday night and the whole of Sunday, when can he find time to help around the

house, play a game of football or see a good film, or just relax?

In fact weekend homework is usually put off until Sunday night. As a result

our homework is done very poorly and we achieve no results. If there were no

homework on weekends, students would go to school on Monday well rested, willing

to work. Teachers, dont you agree?
