上个月我去了游乐园，因为我期末考试考得很好。一开始我们开车经过大门时，我看到了一扇多么宏伟的大门。门是巨大的，装饰着许多花哨的东西，如假珠宝，和闪闪发光的玻璃。在入口的路，我能看到一些野生动物在游走，就像狮子，大象。也有铁栅栏阻止他们，我仍然觉得退出，

当我们进入游乐园，我被什么似乎我的眼睛感到震惊。小贩都穿着五颜六色的服装和范妮。纪念品商店出售我以前从未见过的东西。过山车是如此可怕和令人兴奋。我们几乎在游乐园试了所有的东西，没有一件是无聊的。

在一天结束的时候，我们在时髦的餐厅吃饭。服务员都很漂亮、帅气，和食物。餐厅里的一切都是精心设计的，如桌子、椅子和餐具。我们坐在窗户旁边，这样我们就可以看到整个游乐园的夜景了。

回家后，当我看到夜景的时候，我还清晰地记得那一刻。这对我来说是如此美好的一天。

i spent this summer vacation in quite a different way. i used to run about every day in previous summer vacations, but this summer vacation i simply could not afford to do so. i would soon be in the last year of my high-school education and would after graduation be up against the college entrance examinations. though those examinations were still a year away, i had to start early to make myself well prepared by reviewing all those things i had learned at school and this summer vacation was the ideal time for me to do this. at first i was rather dismayed at the thought of this, but later i thought it was better this way because by working hard this summer i could count on endless happy summers to come. with this in mind i then set to work like anything and only occasionally went out for a change or did some physical. i was not at all bored by this kind of life, for i was sustained by a hope.

I am going to read a lot of books and finish my homework On New Year’s Eve

, my family will gather together eating , talking and watching TV for almost the

whole night . And there is going to be some interesting programmers on TV .

I think I am going to be very happy in this winter holiday.

if I get more attention from others, I will be very happy. So I start to follow

the models and the movies stars dressing style, then I find that compare to

their skinny bodies, I look like a fat girl. So I have made up my mind to lose

weight. As my body is in the growth period, my parents always ask me to eat

more. When they find me start to eat less, they think I am sick. I tell them

that I want to look beautiful, then my mother says that I am beautiful in her

eyes. If I dont eat, I will look old. I search the Internet. The pictures of

skinny girls scare me, so I give up losing weight. My annoyance is gone, and I

am happy again.

I have my dream, I have figured out what I want to be in the future, I want to

be a teacher. This is my future ideal career, being a teacher not only fulfills

myself, I also can implant my knowledge to my students. When I look at my

teachers, I adore them so much, they learn so much knowledge, they can help us

learn better, whenever we have questions, they can answer us immediately. I want

to be one of them when I grow up, so I must study hard now.

终于熬到了大年三十，这时候家家户户过年的气氛达到了高潮。大家都在忙着贴春联、包饺子……到了晚上，全家人都聚在一起吃年夜饭，等着看《春节联欢晚会》。我和姐姐最鼓欢放鞭炮和看《春节联欢晚会》了。

开始放鞭炮和礼花时，我还有点害怕，把心一下提到了嗓子眼，生怕出现意外把我炸伤了。大爸看到我哆嗦的样子说：“人家是男子汉大丈夫，你是男子汉大豆腐”。我心想：“哼，我才不是大豆腐，我是安全第一”。在大爸的指导下，我慢慢地不怕了。我们放了许多鞭炮和礼花，最漂亮的要数一种叫“流星雨”的礼花了，只要一点着就能喷出五颜六色的焰火，五彩缤纷，美丽极了。

今年的《春节联欢晚会》也不错，里面有许多好看的节目，我最喜欢《五官新说》和《不差钱》了，这两个节目把人们逗得哈哈大笑，同时也有一定的教育意义。

到了大年初一，吃完饺子，我们就给长辈们拜年，祝他们牛年快乐。拜完年，拿着压岁钱，我和大爸一家去广场玩，我们赢了许多的奖品……今年春节，我还学会了两个四字词语“牛气冲天、一路领先”。我非常喜欢这两个词语，因为我希望我今年的学习成绩能像这两个词一样，在学校里一跃榜首。

这个年过得真好啊!

两天后，我们就要毕业了，小学毕业的作文。大家一定好开心，可是，这六年来，我们都经历过许许多多风雨。这些风雨包含了在学习上的喜、怒、哀、乐;在莲塘基地里的集体生活……想到这里，我不紧地流下眼泪。因为，到现在才知道要珍惜时间。

记得在莲塘基地里，我曾委屈地躲在被窝里哭。因为我室长，大家都对我有好多意见，要么就说我笨，要么就不理我，我真地不明白她们，为什么要这样对我?难道我得罪了她们?因此我没有勇气向老师说，如果我说了，同学们会更不理我，小学生作文《小学毕业的作文》。终于，在第二天晚上，我忍不住了，那个陈慧敏对着大家说：“哼，今天晚上我先洗澡!”大家当初都没反对，可是她洗澡足足洗了半个小时，我身为室长的我当然跟老师反映这件事啦!结果，老师也在洗澡，我们只好迫于无奈地等她出来了……

还记得一天，我们得老师跟我们开辩论会。当时，我们心情非常紧张，因为我们从未试过开辩论会。接着，老师就说：“同学们，今天我们上班会课，主题是‘小学生应不应该独立’?”跟着老师又说：“今次开的是辩论会，所以我们会分开‘正’、‘反’两方。”刚说完，老师就马上组织我们开始了。后来，老师又重复了刚刚那句话。我们‘正’方的姚骏宇说：“那是当然的啦!如果不独立，难道生生世世跟着父母啊?”‘反’方的杨怀杰又说：“那，你现在能独立生活么?”“那也能啊!”“除了去莲塘基之外呢?能吗?”“也能!”“那我可没话说了!你来解释解释一下!”“不能解释!”当时，全班都被他的笑话吸引住了，连老师也不禁地笑了出来了……

在那充满着欢声笑语的校园里，在那传着琅琅的读书声的校园里，在那曾让我们感到喜、怒、哀、乐的校园里，里面蕴涵着许多回忆。希望同学们要记住,让这些记忆永远留在我们的母校!毕业了，我好怀念!

12 May 2006

Dear Sir,

I am writing to apply for a British Council scholarship to study in Britain. I did my five years basic training in medicine at Shanghai University. After this I successfully completed a one-year postgraduate course in Ophthalmology at the Peoples General Hospital, where I am at present serving a two-year probation in the Eye Clinic.

As a result of the publication in 2003 of my article in New Scientist entitled "Soft and Rigid Contact Lenses ", which was based on a survey of 37 patients over 6 months, I made contact with Dr. Li Ming of the Capital Hospital and Dr. Ma Li of the University College Hospital. I have received their help and advice with my current research project, which is a two-year survey of the acceptance of various types of contact lenses in 200 patients.

Despite their help, I feel that I cannot make real progress in this field unless I can actually have day-to-day contact with these specialists. I would therefore like to continue my research at either the Capital Hospital or the UCH as soon as my probationary period here is completed, and I would like to study in Britain for two years.

I enclose a detailed curriculum vitae and an offprint of my article, together with two letters of recommendation from Dr. Li Ming and Dr. Ma Li.

Yours faithfully,

Lily Chen
