Dear Mother,

How are you these days? How is your work going?

Mom, I know that I have done a lot of sorry for you since I was a child, but

you never beat me and scolded me, instead, you reasoned with me.

Once, you and dad took me to the store to buy clothes, the lamplight shine,

there there are many beautiful clothes, all of a sudden I didnt concern about

the small store in a saw a white dress, the dress with a picture of a man

holding a little girl, little girl holding a womans picture, are there beside

the picture of a bunch of pink small butterfly in dance. I wanted the dress so

badly that I ran to you and said, "Mommy, mommy, do you see that white dress? I

want that dress!" You go over and look at the price tag. A: wow! This dress

costs a thousand dollars! You shook your head. I see you dont buy for me, use

"cry", while crying also on the ground roll. I had no choice but to buy the

dress.

Mother I want to say to you: "Sorry!" I have acted in love with you many

times since I was a child, but you always bought me what I wanted with a smile.

I know that you have worked hard for this money. So, here, I say to you:

"Sorry!"

Mom, I know how much you have given to our family over the years. Behind your

success are always a lot of difficulties around you, but you are not afraid of

difficulties, you overcome the difficulties. Mom, I hope you will pay more

attention to your health in the future!

Finally, I wish my mother a long life and a successful job!

Your child:

I think smiling is as important as sunshine. Smiling is like sunshine

because it can make people happy and have a good day. If you aren’t happy, you

can smile, and then you will feel happy. Someone may say, “But I don’t feel

happy.” Then I would say, “Please smile as you do when you are happy or play

with your friends happily. You will really be happy again.”

You don’t like crying, right? So you must prefer smiling, because you know

smiling will let people forget everything unhappy. Every day, we see teachers or

students and say, “Hi/Hello! How are you?” At the same time, you are smiling,

right?

Smiling can let you have more friends. With a smile, people will know

you’re a kind person. They will talk with you, so you will have more and more

friends.

So I say, smiling is like a flower, the sunshine, warmth. It will give you

happiness.

Dear Tom，

How is it going these days? I keep wondering how you feel about your school

life in Beijing. Have you got used to the life in China? Are you enjoying your

life? I hope you are.

Let me tell you a piece of good news: I’m going to take part in an English

speech contest of middle school students in July in the coming summer vacation.

So I’m busy preparing for it. But now I have some difficulty in collecting

useful information and using proper English word to express my thoughts.

Besides, I really want to improve my spoken English, especially the

pronunciation and intonation(语调). Of course, as a native English speaker, you

can give me some suggestions.

In addition, I’m going to visit you after the contest. I’m sure we will

have a wonderful time together in Beijing! I can hardly wait to see you! I am

looking forward to your early reply.

Yours,

Li Hua

圣诞老人：

您好，听着您的故事，我己长大成五年级的小学生了。再过两个月多您就来到我们人间来给我们送礼。

别人都不相信你的存在，但是我一直相信你是存在的。是因为我读小学一年级的一个晚上你就表现了你的存在。正好是圣诞节的晚上，我一直盼望着有一个火鸟悠悠球，在这时，我就想到了您可以让我得到，为了让你进来，我特地把窗户打开了，以为方便让你进来。

早上，我听见了妈妈的叫声：贺琪伦，圣诞老人送礼物了!我一看我的枕头旁边有一个火鸟悠悠球，我兴奋极了，迫不及待的拆开包装盒，看着我梦寐以求的悠悠球，玩了起来。嘿，别玩了，快去上学!妈妈说

。

圣诞老人我希望你可以证明你是存在的。

敬礼!

今天，我非常兴奋，因为今天要去春游。到了湖滨北路的集合地点，我发现全校同学都在那，简直乱成一团！我在人群中找来找去，终于找到了我们班。休息了一下，我们上车了，可是车厢里好吵，所以我用玩手机游戏来打发时间。

过了一个多小时，终于到达了目的地南沙滨海公园。这里有好多游乐设施。导游让我们先坐的是滑行龙。等到我要坐的时候，我又害怕又好奇，坐在龙身上，龙开始滑行了，一开始还不怎么快，到了转弯时，龙就好快了，我都差点呕吐了。紧接着下一个项目是旋转秋千，坐上它，你会感到像飞起来一样，这个秋千还会旋转，可以让人感到是在天空畅游。

我们玩的最后一个项目是旋转木马，很多同学还没坐的时候都说：切！幼稚！干嘛坐这么无聊的！可是坐的时候和之前说的话的感觉完全不一样了，木马一摇一摆地感觉还有一点刺激。

在吃午餐的时候，有几个同学把食物扔来扔去的，其实，是某个同学想给自己的好朋友分享食物，可好朋友不想吃就扔回去了。爱护珍惜食物是很好的习惯，千万别抛在地上浪费了！

饭后休息时间，蒋浩楠同学看到很多同学拎着小鸡，小鸭，倉鼠。于是，他也想买一只小鸡，并叫我和他一起去，我答应了。我们去问那已经买了小鸡的同学，他们都把手指指向一个地方，到那里，只有一筐小鸡了,没有看见卖小鸡的人。蒋浩楠有点胆小就没去问别人，所以这次就空手而归了。第二次，我们去问旁边的阿姨，没想到她就是老板娘。我没有买，因为我记得学校旁边有卖的才两元一只，这里全是卖十元一只。

最后老师把我们带到一个大草坪，在那里我们可以自由活动。

哈哈！春游可真开心！

What a great forest! Today is the Spring Festival party in the forest, on the ground, flying in the sky all go to see the Spring Festival Gala.

The host is the thrush bird and the canary, which first speaks fluently about some blessings, and then please go to the singer &mdash in the forest; — the puppy.

When the puppy came to power, he said, “ what song do you love to hear me most? ” the animals say in a different voice: “ spring ”. The puppy sang, &ldquo, Wangwang, spring sprouts, spring flowers opened … … ” after listening to the puppy song, the animals applauded the puppy singer down.

The second play is the fox, the fox came on, he sang the song of the fox fox: “ squeak, our mouth is so sharp, so big eyes … … “, listening to the fox singing, we laugh together not so please clap down the fox mouth side. The third is the peacock. When the peacock comes to the stage, she starts to jump up &ldquo. The dance of Spring Festival &rdquo, her head is wearing gold crown, wearing bright clothes and graceful dancing. Animals cant help saying, &ldquo, they jump too well, &rdquo.

Two kids came, they came to power, to everyone bowed, then bleating for everyone to ask a good start to drop, some ball in their hands is very obedient, look at the dazzling animal.

Nbsp; after the end of the spring party, the animals walked out of the studio.

每个家都有属于自己家的家风、家规、家训。说起我家的家风、家规、家训，从我懂事起，妈妈就告诉我做人的道理，首先要勤学，意思就是要好学，奋发学习；其次是上进，要不断地上进，用自己的实际行动证明，我能行；然后是诚实，不诚实的人，哪会让别人信任你呢；最后是善良，没有一颗善良的心，怎么能为别人着想？怎么会在别人有困难时去帮助他呢？

我要上小学了。我们一家人坐下来开了个家庭会议。爸爸说：“今天会议的内容就是讨论家风、家规、家训。目的就是想让你上学后能用它来约束自己管好自己。”我们讨论了很久，才确定下来，那就是尊敬长辈、孝顺父母、勤俭节约、自强自立、勤学、上进、诚实、善良。

小时候，每次上学校之前，妈妈总爱叮嘱我:“孩子，到学校千万别和同学打架，如果有人欺负你，就回来跟我说，我去找你们老师。”！妈妈生怕我在学校和同学发生矛盾，老是有事没事给我讲一些经典的故事，教育我遇事要宽宏大量，在学校要和老师、同学和睦相处，不要动不动就和他人发生冲突。在妈妈的教诲下，我没有和老师、同学发生过矛盾。现在，我已养成了尊敬长辈、孝顺父母、勤俭节约、自强自立等的好习惯。仔细想想，这些都和我们家的家风有着不可分割的关系。

上学以后，我无时无刻不牢记着家风、家规、家训，用它来约束自己。家是最小国，国是千万家”，我想如果每个家庭都拥有良好的家训和家规，代代传承成为家风，那么家风正则国运兴，千万正能量汇聚在一起，伟大的中国梦一定能够实现。

Next, we ride in front. The bottom, came to redstone gorge scenic area.

Mr. Louis is my Chinese teacher. She was of medium height, slender, with two eyebrows on her lanky face, a pair of squinting eyes, and a pair of pink glasses on her high nose, about thirty years old. Her speech was vivid and vivid in class, her tone was cadenced and her emotions were real. People are kind and strict.

I remember that it was one of the things that happened early on, and I came to the school early in the morning and put my exercise books on the table, and I happily picked up the Chinese book and read aloud the text aloud.

After about a quarter of an hour or so, Mr. Louis walked into the classroom with a smile on his face, went up to the lectern, took out the red pen and handed the students the homework. After more than ten books, I found that the teachers face gradually changed from sunny to cloudy, and some of my classmates workbooks were taken to the stage. When it was my turn, my heart was both happy and afraid. I was glad that the teacher could see the homework I had finished. The fear is that the teacher will also take away my exercise book. Not sure enough, I saw the workbook lying on the table, trying to get it down, but it was impossible.

After class, the teacher overlooks his face and says to us, "if you want to have a workbook, please come to my office." Then he picked up the book and went away. I breathed a sigh of relief, but I was still not happy. I didnt know what was waiting for me: reprimand, criticism, praise... Oh, I dont think so.

After the second lesson, I and the students went to the teachers office and prepared to be taught. Who knows, the teacher changed the normal, kindly say: "last night go back why dont finish earnestly, ask you a few to correct the error in the workbook." Several of us took the exercise books nervously and fell on the teachers desk to correct them all. Then, let the teacher see again. Then the teacher smiled and said, "thats right. The people who read more should pay attention, the homework also cannot be careless!" We listened, and the mood was like a stone falling to the ground and running out of the office.

You say, how can such a teacher not let us like?

今年暑假，我、哥哥和爸爸一起去承德玩了两三天，真是既开心又兴奋，尤其是第二天下午爬野山时最为惊险和刺激。你们想听听吗？那么就让我为你们慢慢道来吧！

那天上午，我们先在避暑山庄的一些宫殿和寺庙转了一圈儿，中午在湖中的脚踏船上吃了午饭，下午我们就去爬山了。我们先走了一段公路，就来到一个岔路口，一条是蜿蜒曲折通向山顶的公路，一条是看不见尽头草木茂盛的山路。当我们正想着走哪条路时，一个大哥哥走过来了，他说他是当地的大学生，经常来这里玩，我们问他走那条路好，他说那条公路往上走是一些小景点和卖纪念品的小店铺，而那条山路他也没有走过，所以也不知道通向哪里。一听他这么说，勾起了我们探险的欲望，我和哥哥心血来潮，一致说服爸爸走那条山路，大学生哥哥也觉得好玩，加入了我们的队伍。我们一会儿采朵山花，一会儿摆POSE拍张照片，一会儿讲个冒险小故事，引起大家一阵阵尖叫和笑闹。

就这样不知走了多久，渐渐地我们发现路几乎没了，只能靠摸索着前进了，一路上我们“披荆斩棘”，最后手脚并用，竟然成了真正的“爬”山，可说是千辛万苦啊。突然，哥哥说他好像听见了汽车的声音，太好了！于是我们向着公路前进！走着走着，“呀！”哥哥叫了一声，“你看！你看！”我们回头一看，你猜我看到了什么？一头鹿，一头野生小鹿哎！它睁着大大的眼睛好奇地望着我们，好像在想“咦？这是什么动物，我怎么没见过啊？”正当我们七手八脚要拍照时，那头鹿像是吓到了，三步两步嗖嗖地跑开了。真遗憾！不过没关系，我们能看到就已是幸运至极了，这可是走大路所看不到的啊。我们又寻觅着车声走了一会儿，耶！我们终于走到公路上了，我和哥哥欢呼着跳了起来。

回想起爬野山的经过，我和哥哥都说既惊险又刺激，还超级好玩，爸爸也说既有“苦趣”又有“乐趣”，爸爸又说以后出去玩也要适当注意安全啊，我们也觉得有道理，你们说呢？

人生这一场经历，我们可以把它比作是一场游戏，一起的队友，对抗的怪兽。所有通关的记忆，都值得我们留恋;也可以理解为一场旅途。遇到的风景，遇到的人，所有的一切都来之彼此的距离。很多人只是擦肩而过，所以我们不会太过于在意。生活的质量不在于某一段时期的相遇，而在于长时间的相知。

快乐是用心灵去治疗伤感。而不是给生命增添枷锁。只要我们生活中有信心，就可以打倒生活中烦恼的这堵墙。儿童是我们的信心，让我们训练就成为坚强的人。也时常提醒你自己不要给生活增添负担，用愉悦的心情去欣赏沿途的风景，充满欢喜和感激去欣赏人生的旅途，而不是去纠结人生的风景是否美丽。

不为五斗米而折腰，也不要为了眼前的烦恼去焦虑，更不要去埋怨现实的残酷。世界每天都变化，都不在我们的意料之中，我们应该思考的是，让那些不美好的过去以最快的速度远离我们。不管是快乐的还是开心的，它都过去了，我们不应该在过去的中纠结，而是向前看，生活的内容，也就是我们对生活的希望。

我们怀揣着美好的愿望和善意去看待这个世界，用活泼的姿态面对是生命的阻碍。要知道这个世界上我们都只是客观的存在。所以不必要着急，也不必要烦恼，把生命中的每一天过的充实，才是我们生活最佳状态。

上天是给我们的苦难不是让我们去领悟苦难有多痛苦，而是让我们知道经历了痛苦，我们的成长，领悟到在风雨中我们生命中最重要的东西是什么。坦然的面对生命，不管生活有多么的高低起伏。至少我们要对自己的生命真诚。

面对烦恼，学会顺其自然，面对快乐，学会让他传播，不要让负面情绪而影响我们生活的态度，人生的方向在于用积极的心态去化解消极情绪。生命中我们的经历是不规则的，高低起伏，不是一帆风顺的。而自己的内心却可以平静的。我们面对生命中所有发生的事情，以一平静的心态去解决，以静制动。 生活会还给我们另一份美好的姿态。

生命的种子，因为有不怕风雨，勇敢的心去浇灌所以才会绽放艳丽的花蕾;生命中的空白键要有动听的音符才会圆满。我的生命，我一定要让你每天都充实。

又是一个惬意的午后，温暖的阳光透过窗子，映在我的脸上，教室里只剩下你和我，这是你和我第一次相遇。

我喜欢一人坐在窗边，沐浴着阳光，弹着吉他，经常浑身散发着“生人勿近”的气息，而你是除了老师、与我交好的同学之外，第一个闯入我“私人禁地”的人。

因为我是专业班的学生，熟练度、进度、曲子难度是大多数普班学生赶不上的，在老师眼里我是种子选手、他的得意门生。平时我上完课，还要给老师当免费的助教，而这次我的任务是教你《小罗曼斯》。

刚开始，我面无表情告诉你这首曲子是在战争的背景下所作的爱情曲，所以全篇有种“我欲花好月圆，奈何花已谢人已缺”的悲伤，而你比我大两岁，自然要懂得多一些，所以你点点头表示你已明白。接着我又给你讲了难点重点在哪一个主题，怎样弹，你依旧是面无表情，大概是我的冷漠吓到了，你忍不住说：“美女，能不能笑一下，别这么高冷，阳光一点行不？”说罢，你又给我讲了几个笑话，最终，我被你逗笑了，气氛一下子活跃起来了，一种奇妙的东西从我们两个之间萌发出啦！

随后几次上课，我的“私人禁地”悄无声息地走进了第二个人，那个人就是你。接下来的日子里，你我形影不离，你还发誓要做我最坚实的后盾，永远保护我。可是，有一天，你突然消失了，我问老师，老师说你考上了高中，回去上学了。那天以后，我的“私人禁地”又变回了独我一人，我终于意识到你对于我是多么重要，可是已经晚了，这次真成了“我欲花好月圆，奈何花已谢人已缺”了。

不知过了多久，又是一个惬意的午后，我独自一人坐在窗边，温暖的阳光又一次透过窗子，照在我的脸颊，我胡乱翻着QQ，消磨时光，突然QQ上弹出了一个好友认证，备注写到：“嘿，美女，还好吗？我回来了。”短短几个字，让我的眼泪夺眶而出，即使没有署名，我也知道是你，我双手颤抖着点了同意，并回复：“后盾，你回来了，有你真好。”

我知道我们不可能永远同在一个城市，但我相信即使你我相距千里，即使岁月如水流逝，我们的友谊将一直都在……

Today after dinner, the adults were tired, and I volunteered to say, "Mom, Ill do the housework today." Mom is very happy. I put the dishes from the water room, see the rest of the noodles, I said: "Mom, I put the noodles refrigerator?" my mother told me to put cold noodles. And then I began to wash the dishes.

Mother in the side said: "put some detergent, can go to oil, wash clean, and can also sterilize." I quickly washed the bowl, and then I rubbed the table and collected the table. Finally, I also swept the ground clean.

I was tired of doing these housework, I was sweating, but I was happy, mom said I grew up.
