Thank you for always appreciating my work, no matter how tiny it is! You

Dad, I love you and I will love you forever!

Yours beloved,

Dear Sir,

I understand your well-respected college offers a number of places to

overseas students every year, and I am writing to enquire about the application

procedure.

I am at present a student at Mary High School, Hong Kong, where I have been

studying for the past five years. I passed the Hong Kong Certificate of

Education Examination last year with distinctions in English and History, and

credits in Economics and English Literature. My advanced-level subjects are

History, Economics and English Literature. In addition to these subjects, "Use

of English" is also a compulsory subject because a pass in English is a minimum

requirement for admission to most faculties of the University of Hong Kong.

Apart from academic work, I have been actively involved in extra-curricular

activities. I am Chairman of the English Club and I have represented my school

in many inter-school contests.

On the advice of my friends, I have decided to further my studies in

England because I wish to widen my horizons and benefit from the scholarly

heritage of your country.

I wish to continue to study the above-mentioned subjects at your college in

the 2006/7 academic year before I sit the Advanced-level Examinations in

England.

As regards my character, Mrs. Chen, my Principal, and Mr. Huang, my English

master, have agreed to act as my references.

As I come from a family of fairly limited means, I would like to know if

there is any financial assistance available for overseas students.

Attached is a summary of my qualifications for your reference.

I should be grateful if you would kindly consider my application and notify

me of the result at your earliest convenience.

Should you require any further information, please feel free to contact me

or my references.

Yours faithfully,

Lily Chen

It was a fine day today and the sun was bright. I visited Beijing Zoo with

my classmate, He Song. The animals were so interesting that all the people loved

them. When a bear asked for some food by waving its ann, a visitor threw

something to it. At once I went up to him and said without thinking,Dont do

that. Its bad for it. If you really love them, take good care of them. His

face turned red and answered he wouldnt do that again.

你玩过纸飞机吗？大家肯定会说，谁没玩过呀！但是你见过一个班的同学一起玩纸飞机吗？肯定没见过吧！在那节课外活动课上，我们304班的同学们一起玩起了纸飞机，校园的天空顿时成了纸飞机的天堂。

在蔚蓝的天空中，五颜六色的纸飞机在穿梭。有的飞机像飞鱼，突然飞快地转身，极速地坠落在地；有的像小鸟一样，在天空中翱翔，然后不情愿地降落下来；有的像火箭一样，在天空划过一道优美的弧线，飞向遥远的天际；有的像蝙蝠，突然来个“倒飞行”，横冲直撞……大家跟着纸飞机跑着，跳着，笑着，叫着，操场上到处弥漫着欢声笑语！

我拿着我的“战山号”前去跟胡靖宇的纸飞机比赛。我的纸飞机是黄色的，像只飞鱼。胡靖宇的纸飞机是红色的，像根钉子。预备，开始！“嗖！嗖！”两只飞机发射出去。我的纸飞机在飞行时机头朝下，机身也随之下落，一头撞在了地上，我输了。我发现机头是飞机的主体，机头没折好，会导致飞行不成功，我的机头太重，所以才会一头栽下来，原来玩耍也有奥秘。

下课了，我回到教室，对我的纸飞机的机头和机身进行了改良，并将它的名字改成“战神号”，我在教室里试飞了一次，效果良好。我小心的把这纸飞机收藏好，它承载了我的飞翔梦，我期待着下一次的飞行！

4月17日中午，金山小学电子报告厅内人头动，整齐划一的红马甲、人手一张明信片，这是在做什么活动呀？原来是金山小学118名小记者们正在参加一场名为“光明行——时光之旅”的公益活动呢。你可别小瞧了这一张张小小的明信片，上面寄托着我们对四川阿坝州壤塘县的那一份份好奇与憧憬，上面承载着我们对四川阿坝州壤塘县小朋友满满的爱心和祝福。

写好连接两地爱的明信片，我们全体小记者又来到了金山小学的操场上。雨过天晴的午后，空气格外清新。我们用蓝色彩纸折成了一架架形态各异的纸飞机，准备向蓝天放飞。我折了一架特殊的纸飞机，取了一个很酷的名字——“钢铁飞人”。我希望“钢铁飞人”能飞上蔚蓝的天空，把我的问候与祝福带给远方的小伙伴们。

放飞希望，放飞梦想，一只只形态各异的蓝色纸飞机，在空中划过一道道美丽的弧线，就像童年的七色梦在空中绽放。

“童年的纸飞机飞呀飞……”我们欢快的歌声在操场上久久飘荡，让这蓝色的纸飞机在歌声中与天空融为一体，带着我们的祝福和心愿，播撒公益的种子……

今年的五一劳动节，妈妈给我买了一架遥控直升飞机。它有着绿色的头，不锈钢的身子，银色的机尾，还有两个螺旋桨。

到家后，我迫不及待地开始琢磨起操作来。一开始，由于我把上油门推得太快，飞机“砰”地一声就撞到了屋顶，我一紧张把油门一松，飞机“啪”地一声就摔倒了地上。我以为它坏了，连忙拣起来试了一下，还好，一切正常。我提在嗓子眼的心终于掉到了肚子里。

经过长时间地练习——轻轻地推上油门，推下油门，飞机能灵活地起飞和降落了；慢慢地操作向上、向下、向左、向右，飞机能在空中旋转了，我终于能够灵活地操作遥控直升飞机了！它如同一只绿色的蜻蜓，在空中翩翩起舞。我正得意着，突然，飞机从天上掉了下来！哦，原来是没电了。

我把遥控器上的充电线插到飞机上，给飞机充电，心中充满了期待，我期盼着我心爱的“绿蜻蜓”再次翱翔在空中。

12 On Your SILVER WEDDING ANNIVERSARY

7月28日下午6：10，我在南京市禄口机场，准备登机。

大约是6：30分左右，我的身体和挎包被各种精密的仪器扫描，妈妈的行李箱被托运了。

我们乘坐的飞机是一架南方航空客机，客舱是白色的.从南京到桂林，在7：20的时候出发。6：00左右，我的妈妈、婆婆在候机厅里等待登机，我在候机厅里焦急地踱着方步，埋怨时间走得这么慢。看到窗外一架架飞机陆续起飞，我更加着急了。

终于，我们等登上了飞机。我兴高采烈地按照登机牌上的指示，找到了自己的位置。客舱内非常整洁，一尘不染。但令我扫兴的是，窗户小得可怜，只有一平方分米左右，而且飞机是完全处于封闭状态的。

飞机缓缓地动了，不过走得很慢，不是我想象中的那样快。突然，离我们最近的一架正在助跑的客机腾空而起，一眨眼便直入云霄，这使我的心情更加澎湃了。

忽然，飞机停下了。我不禁有些杞人忧天：“这飞机不……不会出故障了吧？”正说着，飞机犹如点燃的炮弹一般骤然发射了出去。过了一会儿，飞机缓缓上升，不一会儿便冲上了云端。

从窗户往下望，全是一片云海，没有一点缝隙，更别说看见下面的房子了。飞机越上升，太阳就越大，阳光刺得我睁不开眼睛，我不得不把窗户关上。

窗户关上，我才发现客舱内的灯已经全关了。我想把灯打开，可客舱内的按钮这么多，万一把空姐给招来了，可就麻烦了。

不能开灯，我就把窗户打开，让阳光照进来，又抽出一份杂志，津津有味地看起来。

大约过了一个小时，飞机下降了一些，陆地已经清晰可辨了。又过了几分钟，只听播音员说道：“……我们的飞机将在20分钟后降落……桂林是个美丽的地方……”

又过了十几分钟，飞机一会儿上升，一会儿下降，并且时常穿过一些巨大的云朵，仿佛穿过了一个白色的世界。终于，窗外的景物越来越清晰，紧接着，是一阵剧烈的抖动，“轰~-----”飞机降落了。

The Lantern Festival (元宵节) is the last day of the Chinese New Year celebration.

This day is for the last moment for setting off fireworks, the last excuse for eating a big feast and the last chance for family getting together before the “年” celebrations are over. (Latern Festival is also a traditional time of celebration for foreigners who live in China).

The Lantern Festival, the 15th of the first month of the lunar calendar, is the first full moon of the year.

Celebrations and traditions on this day date back to the Western Han Dynasty.

Traditions for this festival: as the name indicates, hanging and looking at lanterns is the main tradition.

Lanterns of various shapes and sizes are displayed on trees, or along river banks.

Parents often take their children to Lantern Fairs and sometimes lucky kids even get a mini toy lantern.

Another tradition is guessing lantern riddles. These are riddles that are hung on lanterns for people to shoot down and solve. The riddles are usually short, wise, and sometimes humorous.

The answer to a riddle can be a Chinese character, a famous persons name, a place name or a proverb. This tradition has become a popular game with serious staying power even as social development changes other traditions.

Other than that, the most important thing to do today is to eat sweet dumplings. In northern China, sweet dumplings made of glutinous rice flour are called “元宵” while in southern part they are called “汤圆”.

Typical sweet dumplings are filled with black sesame sauce, sweetened bean paste, or hawthorn. Making “元宵” today is like a game or an activity, so its seldom done without a reason and a group of friends or family present to help out.

Hearing us talking, someone shouted,"Jiang Xin, why not join in and run for monitor?" Jiang Xin stood up. embarrassed,"I am no good. If anyone is in need of me, I am ready to help. Thats all."

今天，老师带着微笑走进教室，说：“今天我们要来做一做梦想的载体——纸飞机。”

首先是折纸飞机，同学们巧手三叠两转，不一会儿就折成了一架架五颜六色的纸飞机。大家又用铅笔、水笔、彩铅等给纸飞机穿上了“花衣服”。我在纸上画了一幅自创对联：“年年考试步步高升，好好学习天天向上”，它承载了我每次考试都想考满分的愿望。

然后是“飞行大赛”。第一个上场的是杨咏，他满怀信心地举起了被他用热气“祝福”过的纸飞机，用力向前一投——飞到花坛上去啦！我们仔细一看，才发现小家伙已经飞得很远了。第二个是陈威年，他神情严肃地走上去，往纸飞机头上呼了呼热气，摆出一个准备姿，向前投去。“呀！”他的飞机落在了离花坛十公分远的地方。他惋惜地说：“要是有阵风那该多好呀！”呵呵，也是哦！第三个就是本人了。我轻轻握住“机身”，呼了一口热气，在心里说：“小飞机，加油啊！”接着带着希望把飞机投了出去。我的小家伙飞快地向前飞，最后轻轻落在了离起点三十公分的地方。

最后就是激动人心的排位了。老师看了看用来做标记的坐标，报道：“杨咏第一，陈威年第二，汪德恒第三，解芷琪第四，张子悠第五……”同学们全神贯注地听着，时不时有人叹气有人欢呼。

折纸飞机可真好玩，它不仅承载了我们的梦想，还让我们增添了乐趣。

During the summer vacation, my aunt in the country with the Qiandao Lake for a period of time. Every night, I and aunt one family sitting in front of the new bridge. I found that the moon is very beautiful very beautiful. The moon seem like very ordinary, but it can not. The light is soft, not too bright, no light reflection. Although it is not like the sun to shine on the earth, but bright and clear. The moon looks are always different, sometimes round as a plate, sometimes sad, sometimes as small as small as ... ... Beautiful beautiful. But it seems to always have a touch of sadness, but reduced its beauty. But no matter how the moon change, there is a kind of beauty that can not say, I want it.

暑假里,我随阿姨在千岛湖的农村小住了一段时间.每天夜里,我与阿姨一家人坐在门口新建的木桥上纳凉.我发现月亮是很美很美的.月亮平常看来十分普通,但细看可不一样.它的光线很柔和,不太亮,没有反射光.虽然不能像太阳一样照亮大地,但却明亮清晰.月亮的样子总是不一样,有时圆如盘、有时细如眉、有时像小船……很美很美.但它好像总有一丝淡淡的忧愁,却不减它的美丽.可不管月亮如何变,都有一种说不出的美,我很想拥有它.

Dear Mr Pan:

It has been a long time since I wrote the last letter. Nowdays, people write letters less and less, instead, they make a call or send a SMS. However, it is still a good way for us to communicate with each other by sending a letter.

Its my honour to get the chance to write to you. "Approachable" is my first impression of you, because you always keeps smiling. Students may fear the teachers that are serious both in and out of class. Smile makes a teacher popular with his students, you are a teacher of this very kind.

You always arrive at the classroom ahead of any of the students, from which we could imply that you are a diligent man with regular habit. Before the class, you like to talk to us, at this very time, you are more a friend than a teacher. To be honest, I was surprised in the first class when I learned a teacher at your age could speak English in such a fluent way.(I didnt mean you are old, youre young at heart.) Moreover, you know well how to keep your class attractive. Youve got such an active mind that you can keep talking during the whole class without a pause. I always appreciated your ideas and enjoyed listening to you. In your class, I learned not only the writing skills but also the presentation skills as well as much knowledge of other areas. Thanks for your excellent teaching.

Ive got some suggestions for you. It seems that we students have got few chances to participate in discussion during the class time. Most of the time, we are listening. Seldom did we express our own ideas. I suggest that teachers should interact with students more frequently in the class. Besides, Id like to practice writing more, so would you please leave us more assignments?

Happy new year.

With every good wish.

Yours sincerely

Dali Wang

童年是一支悦耳动听的音乐，令我们感到舒心；童年是一碗甜甜的鸡汤，滋润着我们的心灵……在我的童年中，就有一件有趣的“飞机”事件，每次回想起来，都让人忍俊不禁。

我四岁那年，爸爸妈妈带着我回乡下，一下车，我就迫不及待地跑出去和小伙伴们一起玩耍。玩着玩着，忽然一个五岁的姐姐说她明天会去坐飞机。我听了心想：“这有什么了不起，我一回家就去坐”。

我跑着回到家中，翻箱倒柜找着了一条绳子便往外走。哥哥看见我拿着一条绳子往外走，纳闷了：“你拿绳子干嘛？”“我要坐‘飞机’！”我手叉着腰，理直气壮地回答。哥哥更加摸不着头脑：“去哪里坐飞机？坐飞机也用不着绳子呀，飞机上不都有安全带吗？”

我不再理睬他，大踏步地走出门。一出门，我便四处搜寻，寻找着我的“飞机”。突然，我发现了我的目标——一只大公鸡。我撒开腿向它奔去，边跑边嘴里念念有词：“我要坐‘飞机’，我要坐‘飞机’。”大公鸡受到了惊吓，四处逃窜。

不知跑了多久，我早已汗流浃背，气喘吁吁，差点就像团泥瘫倒在地上。而那只大公鸡也有点累了，停止住逃跑，挺直了身子，似乎向我示威。我更加气恼，情急中想出了一个好法子，趴到地上，轻轻地向前挪动，快靠近大公鸡时，猛地伸出手抓住大公鸡的脚，一翻身，一屁股坐在大公鸡的背上，同时把绳子牢牢地套在它的脖子上，大喝着：“驾、驾！”大公鸡吓坏了，拼命地扇动着翅膀，咯咯地叫个不停。

这时哥哥出来了，看见我骑公鸡的样子，眼睛顿时眯成一条缝，大笑着跑过来将我从公鸡身上拉下来。我很愤怒：“你没看见我在坐‘飞机’吗？”哥哥揉揉笑疼的肚子，说：“是飞机，不是飞鸡，哈哈……”

虽然这次“飞机”事件早已过去了好多年，但这件事却深深地刻在了我的心上，每每想起童年的这些趣事，当年的情景就清晰地浮现在我的眼前。

星期天，我坐在家里闲着没事干，想起妈妈前几天教我们折纸飞机。于是，我就拿出了一张洁白的纸，自己动手折了一架纸飞机。

我先把长边对折，为了让它左右相等，我小心地对其四个角，再轻轻地压一下。打开后，纸上出现了一条笔直的线。接下来，我就开始折机头了。我将两角小心翼翼地沿着折出来的线对折，为了让机头更尖一点，我再对折了一次。呀，又结实又漂亮的机头折成了。我心里美滋滋的。然后我将纸翻了个面，再两边对折，漂亮的机翼就完成了。

我拿出水彩笔给它画上我喜欢的图案，一架飞机就完成了。我对着机头哈了一口气，然后把它飞出去，纸飞机飞的真远啊！

Graduation is a time of moving on, further studies, or out into the society? There are a lot of choices which we are supposed to make and we are emotional at the graduation season. What’s more, we usually have a variety of activities about graduation, such as taking photos, having a class party, leaving words to each other in our memory collections, exchanging gifts between friends to memorize our friendship, giving teacher presents to express our thanks.

However, we have mixed emotions about farewell. We want to spend more time having fun and working with each other, but we have to move on. Facing many choices about our future makes us confused; meanwhile the coming farewell makes us sentimental. As long as these feelings come along, we have to deal with it. We should know that after graduation we will learn more and be more experienced. Being apart with our friends and classmates is temporary, next time we meet each other, we will live a better life and share our different colorful experiences with each other.

Graduation will come sooner or later whether we are ready or not. Let’s make great efforts for our future.
