well.But I can imagine that you are a kind person.I am sure that you will not

make us disappointed.My English is not very excellent.I always make stupid

mistakes.I cant do well in English examination.There are a lot of reasons in

贫困山区的小朋友们:

你们好!

我是__学校7年级S班的一名学生。

今天,我在电视上看到了你们的情况,你们这么千辛万苦努力渴望着去上学。衣服都是破破烂烂的,教室都是用草席编成的,桌子脚都是用一块块石头堆成的,桌子板都是随随便便用一块木板做成的,平时连一顿饭都吃不饱,想上学的都交不起学费,只能坐在教室门外偷偷的听课,老师给你们上课还要带着孩子。教师没了,你们只能一个个都坐在石头上听课,老师只能靠着“墙”给你们上课,老师的一只胳膊没了,还要坚持给你们上课,老师还要在教室里给你们生火做饭,你们有时候还要几个人挤一张桌子听课,你们的“书包”都是用破破的塑料袋子,你们有些人还没有鞋子可以穿,还没有凳子坐,只能跪在地上听课,有些还要站着,因为桌子不够。墙没了,下雨的时候,教室都变成“一条河”了。家里的外墙都是用土筑成的,一个个的手没有一个是没有冻疮的,你们那一支支铅笔,都是那么短,你们的操场......

再看看我们吧,要什么有什么,上的都是名牌学校、国际学校、贵族学校。各种各样的笔、书包,穿的都是世界顶级、名牌的,而且样式都不一样,五彩缤纷的,就连鞋子,身体上戴的,穿的,都是名牌。

我们拥有的却比你们拥有的更多,但是我们却没你们那么用功、刻苦、认真,我们整天想着玩,从来就没想过要学习的像你们一样。所以,说到底还是一句话,生在福中不知福啊!

最后,祝你们:身体健康、天天开心快乐、学习每天更上一层楼、早日摆脱贫困!

Dear Sir,

I am working on a new project which is called A Survey of New Industry in the Maywood District. According to the design of our district, we need information about firms that have recently moved into this area. Your firm is one of the largest of these, so I shall be very grateful if you can spare the time to help me.

Three points are specially important to the project. The first one is the training schemes for school leavers. The second one is about the transport arrangements to overcome poor road and rail links in this district. The third is the plans for expansion.

Any other information will be useful, but those points are the ones with which I most need your help.

I am enclosing an information form for you to fill in. I hope you can post it to us as soon as possible. I apologize for adding to your work with this request, but I do hope that you will feel able to assist me.

I would be most grateful for your favorable consideration of this request.

Yours faithfully,

Mary Spencer

Since the swallow had brought back the prince’s red gem, he could at last

stay; but one night as soon as he was about to return to the Egypt, the happy

prince said to the little swallow, “OH little swallow, please stay with me for

one last night?” the swallow replied, “Oh dear prince, I couldn’t stay with you

any longer, my friends are waiting for me and…” “Oh please little swallow, you

must obey me;” the swallow sighed and said, “All right I shall stay with you for

one last night.”

The swallow then took a breath, after that he continued, “What is the

request that you want me to do dear prince?” the prince said to the swallow,

“See that poor old man writing a story, he is very hungry; and I could tell by

his face,” “What do you want me to give to him dear prince?” asked the swallow,

as if he had so many questions to ask; “I want you to take out my blue eye ball,

it is like a gem, and bring it to the man so that he could finish his act; and

be happy once more.”

At these words the swallow said, “OH my dear prince, I couldn’t do that! I

swear! Because…” “No little swallow, you must do what I say, and help that poor

man!” at these words, the swallow had no choice but to obey, he took out the

other prince’s eye; with a squeak, as if he was helping the poor prince to

recover from his pain.

When the swallow flew to the man with the blue sapphire gem, he felt the

warm wind of the spring dancing around in his brain. When he arrived, he placed

the gem under the man’s face, and flew back to the prince. When he returned, the

prince asked the swallow, “Did you succeed?” asked the prince joyfully, “I did,

and I hope the man enjoys it too.

The man awoke eventually, when he saw the blue sapphire gem; he said

happily, “What on the world is this? somebody actually likes my plays, yes! Now

I can finish my play;” and he began to write. The next day, the swallow flew

away to Egypt and before that he said to the prince, “I am going to fly away to

Egypt today and…” “Oh please little swallow, oh please can you stay with me for

one last night?” but the swallow was very satisfied, “But, dear prince; I can’t

do that, my friends are waiting for me and it is getting colder and colder here;

I have to go to Egypt, where the sun is hot, and it is warm and cool there;”

“You must little swallow, you must stay with me for one last night,” “Dear

prince, I couldn’t and…” “Swallow this can’t be, you have to stay with me; I

command you!” the little swallow had no choice but to obey.

“Okay prince, what is your command?” “See that poor little girl on the

road, she is selling matches; it is Christmas day, and she hadn’t even sold one

match. But she dares not to go home; because her father was a cruel man, and he

would punish her and hit her hard and say mean words to her if she doesn’t bring

home any money. She is crying bitterly, and I want you to do something that I

want; which is very important, I now realize that helping people is good since

it feels good.”

“Well what do you suggest me to do dear prince?” “I want you to take my

sword’s red gem off again, and give it to her so that she can bring home,” “OH

my dear prince!” shouted the swallow in the loudest voice, “I can’t do that, you

will lose your sword’s red gem and…” “No swallow, you must do what I tell you,

or face your doom!” and so the swallow brought the red gem to the little girl by

wings, the little girl looks at it and smiled, “That is nice! But it is still

not enough as my father wished me to give it to him;” then she began to sigh and

cry again, the swallow heard what the girl had just said; he said to himself,

“What a picky girl!” when he flew back, he didn’t tell the prince the message

that he had just received from the little girl; but he still was very cold.

He knew that since he did not help the poor little girl, he felt bad; and

so that was the reason why he was cold. He was very sad; and when he was about

to fly to Egypt, the prince said to the swallow, “I see that you are very sad

these days; I wonder what is the matter, tell me?” the swallow did not speak,

the prince forced the swallow to tell him; but he still didn’t say anything. At

last the prince said, “If you don’t tell me I will put dynamites on your head

and blow you up! I was trying to help you!”

At these words the swallow was so scared that he said out loud, “I heard

the little girl say that that wasn’t enough to pay for his father, and so I

didn’t tell you because I thought that you would not like it and…”

“Oh my dear swallow, why on earth would you think I will not help a little

girl? And why on earth would you not tell me about this?” the spell was broken,

the prince turned to real life, and jumped down from the statue’s stand, “Thank

you dear swallow, you have broke the spell, and now I can live on land once

more.

That was the end of the happy prince. During the lives when he was a golden

statue, he realized how important everybody was to him, and that how important

helping people is.

I have many friends, and one of them is Lily. She is one of my best

friends. She lives in the same area with me. We become friends for three

years.Every school day, we go to school together. We have many things in common.

For example, we both like listening to the music, reading books and playing

badminton. We both study hard and do well in studies. We help each in study,

because we want to make progress together. I am happy to have such a good

friend.

亲爱的山区小朋友

你好！

我叫崔熙桐，今年11，是一个开朗活泼的女孩。我来自湖北省十堰市，今年上五年级了。我的爱好是画画，花草树木在我的笔下会生机勃勃，飞禽走兽在我的笔下会栩栩如生，人物肖像在我的笔下会形形色色……我很想和你们交朋友，你们愿意吗？

十堰是一座山城，青山绿水环绕，这里有许多的高楼，它们像卫士守卫着我们的家园。这里被誉为文明城市，还有三张名片：一为仙山—武当山，一座座山峰兀立，山峰的线条十分柔美，像是只用绿色渲染而不用线条勾勒的中国山水画；山峰之顶，云雾缭绕，又与天空融为一体，使人沉醉其中。二为秀水—丹江口水库，那水那么清，清得可以看见水滴的石头和游鱼！那水是那样的静，静得像一面镜子，把周围的山峰和树木都映照其中，真是令人心驰神往；最后便是汽车城了，街道上车水马龙，到了晚上一辆辆车形成一条五彩的银河在道路中流动，真是壮观……

通过媒体，我对你们有了些许的了解。在你们那里，山区生活艰苦，有些孩子只能穿一件薄薄的外套，一定很冷吧！看到你们有些人冻得龟裂的双手，冻得通红的小脸，结了霜冰的头发，真是让人心疼啊！你们的教室，尽管光线比较差，墙上的漆也快脱落，没有像样的桌椅板凳，但丝毫阻止不了你们读书的热情与渴望。你们不怕辛苦，上山砍柴维持生计，与牛羊为伴，却充满乐趣。你们是那样的纯真、勤劳，努力，是我们学习的榜样。

亲爱的山区朋友，在了解到你们的生活状况后，我内心久久不能平静，有着深深的不忍与疼惜。为了让我们彼此有更深刻的了解，为了能给与你们一些帮助，我们准备开展一次手拉手的活动，我会为你们募捐一些生活物品和学习用品，也许是一件衣服，一支铅笔，一个橡皮……也许这一切很微小，但表达了我们最诚挚的心意。当然，我也很乐意邀请你来我家做客，了解了解我们的风俗习惯，我会带你们领略秀丽的武当山，游览壮阔的丹江口水库，看一看这坐瞩目的汽车城。我也可以去你们那里，体验别致有趣的山区生活，在你们那草地上愉快地奔跑，与牛羊嬉戏，享受新鲜的空气，和你们一块收割小麦，享受这些美好的画面。希望我们可以时常通信，共同交流，共同成长。

亲爱的山区小朋友，虽然我们远隔万重山水，但是这一纸书信却能将我们彼此心连心，愿我们携手共筑美好未来，迈向更好的明天。

祝

天天开心，学习进步！

你的来自远方的小朋友

亲爱的山区朋友：

你好！

你好，山区的朋友，我以前经常地乱买东西、不节约东西、经常浪费东西……当时的我就觉得这是一件很好玩的事情，之后，我在报纸上，看到了你们，是那样的节约东西，教室是用木板建成的，用的铅笔到很短了你们也不舍得扔……当时的我就感觉我的心里非常得惭愧，我就想，啊！你们好节约啊，那像我这样，总是的浪费，我一定要学习你们的节约的良好品质。

我是英华小学的胡博皓，我比较的活泼、明朗、我也比较的喜欢笑，成绩，在我们班的中等，我们学校的教学楼非常的新，我们在这里可以睡觉，你了？是不是也比较喜欢笑了？你的学习怎么样？你叫什么名字了？我还决定了，我要为你捐上几本书，这几本书可是，给我知识的书，是开通我知识的钥匙，不知道当你读完着你本书之后，会不会和我有一样的想法？

如果你来到了我们家乡，我会给你我们家乡特产—苹果，我们家乡的苹果，香甜可口，我保准你吃了还想再吃一个，我还可以让你去看看我们家乡的风景，我们的的家乡的风景主要是树，我们家乡的马路两旁都有柳树，春天柳树，长出绿色的小嫩芽，到了夏天，柳树就开出了一条条绿色的枝条，我就会带上绿色的枝条玩，可有意思了，如果你来到这里，你一定会喜欢的……

祝

身体健康胡博皓

亲爱的边疆同学：

你好!

我是瑞安市第二实验小学五年级四班的学生————陈文娴

我们的学校是一个美丽的校园。里面有可爱的同学，有善良又可亲的老师，还有许多高大挺拔的绿色的花草树木等等，为我们的学校增添了许多乐趣和欢笑。

而我呢?是一个性格开朗的，多才多艺的小女孩。我爱好很多，如，舞蹈、钢琴、书法等。在班级里当任的是文艺委员。我还是一个乐于助人的小女孩，我常常帮助一些在学习有困难的同学。我的学习成绩可以，特别是语文和英语，而数学和科学不是很好。如果你愿意的话，我们可以相互帮助，增强自己的学习成绩。

我的爸爸、妈妈也和我一样很有爱心。当我告诉爸爸、妈妈知道你们的情况后，他们俩很愿意帮助你们，你们的学习环境需要修建这件事他们很重视，也愿意出把力。

我们住在一个环境和绿化都很不错的地方，只要你看见了一定会喜欢上不肯回去。

最后，我想跟你说说我的想法：

1、在重大节日时，我们一起过节。

2、我们可以用书信的方法交流，一直保持联系，做好朋友。

希望你能看见我写给你的信。如果看见了，就回信。

此致

敬礼

20__年3月1日

On the top of the mountain hill there lived a little boy called Marlin. He

was a jolly fellow that helped people when they were in need.

The only problem was, whenever there was somebody in need, he would give

them something to eat and to solve their problem. The people in his country soon

became sick of this, and so wanted him to stop. But Marlin just won’t; and went

on helping and helping and helping… nobody knew when he was going to stop, or

when they were going to let him know that they didn’t want him to bother all

day. Ugh, but Marlin wouldn’t stop; all day long he helped this and that, the

problem was that people don’t want to mordacity him, and so said that he was

very kind.

One day, Marlin saw a boy crying, and said, “Hey there little one; don’t

cry, I, the super Marlin is here! And I am going to solve your problem!” “I want

a music box,” at these words, Marlin was astonished, “A-a music b-box?” “Yes,”

replied the boy jumping happily, “But my parents won’t buy me one. It is at the

shop near Sunshine school. I hope to get me one! Wahoo!” Marlin said, “I

couldn’t afford a music box! It is worth $100!”

Marlin was very sad, but also wanted to try, for he was the king of

everything, and helps save the day. He ran to his house, and counted his money,

but found out that he only had $10. He was now very, very angry. He had decided

to earn more and more money, and so to help that poor little boy. As he had

promised, he worked very hard to earn money. Although he was juts a little boy,

he ought to do what he had said; for those are the rules. And when he had enough

money, he would buy the music box, and hand it to that poor boy.

Marlin did anything he could to earn money: Sweep the floor, clean his

room; grow plants, water them, and cut flowers for the house. When he had

already $90, he had decided to help other people. When it was already winter, he

took a shovel and helped his neighbors, friends to shovel snow; and they paid

him a great deal of money.

At last, Marlin had got enough money; he was so excited that he hopped here

and there ten times! Finally, he went to the store near Sunshine school, and

bought the music box, and then handed it to the same boy at his home. Marlin

soon became famous, and he was called, ‘Marlin Blavatsky.’

Whats friends? Do you have friends? I have many friends, so I always feel

happy. In the morning, some of my friends will go to school with me. We often

talk and laugh on the way to school. Sometimes we will stop to buy some snacks,

school things and other stuff. When I am in school, I always study with friends.

When I have something confusion, I will ask them to help. So do they. We help

each other. After class, we play together, and go to the shop to buy snacks.

They accompany me, so do I. I think this is friends.

Dear Sir or Madam,

Im Li Hua, a middle school student from China. I read the announcement of the summer camp that you have posted on the Internet and I am interested in it.

I know that you welcome students from different countries and Id like to take part in it. Ive been learning English for 10 years, and I speak fluent English. What is more, Ill be able to tell students from other countries about China and learn about their countries as well. I hope I will be accepted as a member of your summer camp.

Looking forward to your reply!

Yours，

Li Hua

尊重的杜甫学生：

你佳!

24岁的你满怀雄心壮志，站在泰山足下俯视“荡胸生层云，决眦入回鸟”这一壮宽之景，顿生英气，奋笔疾书：“会应凌尽底，一览众山小。”你启初假想本人文学思维的漫漫征程，设计了大家诗歌艺术的雄伟蓝图。你那蓬勃的青春生气和豪放的气概，无信替唐诗的壮盛奠定了坚名的基本。这种气势，鼓励了多少代华夏儿父!

大天然奇幻的美景跟始唐盛世的繁华赋夺了激情万丈的你另一方面的性情：柔情和细腻。“恶雨知季节，该春乃产生。随风潜天黑，润物细无声。”这徐慢的抒怀，这轻柔的词语，是你对字让的酷爱和对生涯的激情歌颂。“二个黄鹂叫翠柳，一言红鹭上青天”“留连戏蝶时时舞，自由巧莺偏偏啼”，多么清新的绘面，如许令我沉醉的意境啊!柔情的你由衷地说：“美，源于做作!”

安史之治，彻顶攻破了你青春年多的幻想取豪情。点对到处是残垣断壁，到处是还草丛生的悲凉气象，你发出了“国破江山在，程春草木灰”的感慨，抒发了“感时花溅泪，恨别鸟惊口”的哀情。从此你开端将视线由美妙的山川转进唐王朝的兴衰。忧天下之愁的你登高一呼而应者寥寥，你激愤万分，慨然写下了“三吏”“三别”，将败落的唐王朝的光明事实，血淋淋地结含出来，末于找到盛世王朝消亡的本源!你关注社会，关注大众的疾甜，你大声疾吸：“安得广夏千万间，大庇天下冷士俱欢颜，风雨不动安如山!呜呼!何时面前突兀睹此屋，吾庐独蒙冻死亦脚”忧念，是诗圣的精华!激愤，是诗圣的灵魂!

古去圣贤都寂寞!孤单的你用文字很汗了世界，却无力转变李氏王晨日益走向颓败的终局。无奈的你，只能借物从比，“飘零何所似，地地一沙鸥!”只能借诸葛亮自喻，“过盖三分邦，名成八阵图。”在将老逝世他城之际，借诸葛明的身世领没了悲痛的感叹“班师未捷身先死，长使好汉泪谦襟!”留下了千古遗憾!

你的毕生是无奈干主调遗憾作到序幕的凄婉旋律!

折上书，掩面而思，朦胧中，我望到你这破竹仗直指一个方向，犹豫之后，我感到尔当决然地朝那个方向走往......

你最崇敬的己：仇月

亲爱的朋友：

你好!

今天上午收到你的来信，我高兴极了!你在信中说想了解我的家乡的习俗，但不知道是什么习俗最有意思。下面我来介绍几个有意思的给你听听。

三月踏青，农历三月，来原水乡，已是草长鸢飞，水和土柔，丽日春风之下，桃花绿水之间，度过了严冬的人们纷纷来到郊外田野，嬉戏闹游，踏青散步，如今三月三踏青的习俗虽已部分消失，但人们在三月三前后去郊外的却日益增多，这已成为人们日常生活的一大乐事。

东台民间有端午节吃红萝卜的习俗。相传，此俗源于清统治元年的端午节农民起义，为了纪念这次起义的胜利，每年五月初五，东台民间都要吃经萝卜，此俗至今仍然存在。

开船习俗，旧时渔民在汗期出海之前，要举行贡会，贡会的宗旨是“龙王保佑，满载而归。”便认为是龙王发了慈悲，般主须备足酒菜，拜谢龙王。此俗已延续多年，直到现在，渔船出海归来，家家都在喝酒放鞭炮的习俗。

时近春节，盐城的街头巷尾不时传出炸为的爆谷声，成群的孩子提篮子争着炸炒火，主妇和老人也不甘落后，凑合其中。春节爆米花的习俗代代相传。

好了，就介绍到这里。下次有时间你可以过来体验一下。

贫困山区的小朋友：

你好！

我是实验小学五（4）班的一名学生，名叫潘宁雪。我是一个开朗的女孩子，我喜欢写作、阅读、听音乐……能交个朋友吗？

谈谈我们的学校吧！

你们的学校里，是一间间破旧的房子，一张张用泥土堆起来的桌子，同学们从家里带来的大小不一的破板凳，没有电灯，没有粉笔，这一切都是我们无法想象的。有的同学的笔用得只剩手指头那么长了，还舍不得扔掉；有的同学的书包是妈妈用一些旧布头缝成的；有的同学几学期下来，书本还像新的，书角一点也没有卷起；有的同学……你们在那么艰苦的条件下，还坚持学习，你们的学习精神真令我们敬佩。

再看看我们吧。我们有各种各样的学习用具，漂亮的书本，崭新的文具盒，功能各异的笔，一个个色彩斑斓的书包……数不胜数。我们中许多同学都是家里的小公主、小皇帝，家里人整天都围着我们转，可我们还身在福中不知福，不好好学习。

我们都是祖国的花朵，我们一定要向你们学习，长大以后更好地建设祖国，让祖国的明天更加美好！希望与你们手拉手，共同进步！

祝你们

学习进步！

你的朋友

That was the first time that I celebated Christmas Day. My friend aksed me

to take part in Christmas party. At the party we danced and celebrated with

carols. I knew some new friends. We exchanged gifts and said best wishes to each

other. I had a pleasant time.

I like rabbits. They are cute and beautiful. Their eyes are red and their tails are short. They like eating carrots and vegetables . I have one at home . It is in a small cage. I often play with it when I am free? ， but it does not listen to me . It looks unhappy . I think it doesn’t like living in the small cage . I think I will take it out to the field tomorrow. I will open the cage and let it run and jump in the open air freely.
