I seem to recall best a journey we made by tram one winter night.

We were going to visit my Granny at Westoe, and I was very excited, because an evening excursion was something quite unheard of for me. It had been raining; the gas lamps lit the gleaming pavements and cobbles with a doubled radiance. The shaking tram wires were sending down showers of white raindrops. Everything in the ram seemed fresh and glittering. The breezy windows sparkled with long zigzags of rain and the passing street lamp flared gorgeously through the panels of blue and yellow and ruby glass. Outside, it was cold and windy, and we could feel the gale buffeting against the side of the tram, making it sway and lurch ore than usual, and throwing the passengers of song, and the fresh, clean, cold sea-wind was blowing right through the upper deck. Above, a high half-moon seemed to be skidding along on its back through piles of black, white-lined rags. It was a wild night, with a sense of magic in the offing. The people in the tram did not like ordinary mortals; a kind of exhilaratinggaietyhadseizedthem,anditseseememed to lighten their bodies and illuminate their faces. At times I was sure we were really flying.

Since I was a little child, I had a dream that I wanted to be a doctor.

When I was little, I watched many TV series and movies about doctors. I thought

they were so great. Therefore, I made up my mind to be a doctor. In my opinion,

doctor is the people who can help patience get out of sickness and pain.I want

to be the person who can help others. However, being a doctor needs so much

professional knowledge and there is a long way to go. So I have to try my best

on my study and go to a good college.

青蛙也不例外，它也是捕捉害虫的能手，不过，它生活在庄稼附近的池子旁边，有时候，它也到庄稼地，旁边捕捉害虫，人们都称它保护庄稼的好帮手。有的小朋友，到池子旁边，捕捉青蛙，回家后，吃青蛙。我们应该在池子旁边树一个牌子，上面写着“保护青蛙，人人有责”，这样就不会有人捕捉青蛙了。

The frog is no exception, and it is also catch insects but it lives in crops near the pool, sometimes, it is also next to catch insects to crops, crop protection, people call it a good helper. Some children, into the pool, catching frogs, after coming home, eat a frog. We should be in the pool next to the tree a sign that read "protect the frog, is everybodys responsibility", so no one will catch frogs.

如果没有这些有益动物，害虫就会增多。这样，连农药和灭害灵都不行了。我们应给共同保护动物。

If none of these beneficial animal pests will increase. So, I can not even spirit pesticides and pest. We should to protect the animal together.

Since we were a little child, we have to be governed by teachers in school and endure parent’s ramble at home. These are our growing pains.

小的时候，我们都渴望长大，以便能脱离父母的管束，甚至离他们远远的。自从孩提起，在学校我们就被老师管着，在家又得忍受父母的絮絮叨叨。这就是我们成长中的烦恼。此外，学习、友情，有时候甚至校园恋情都会来叨扰我们。但是，随着慢慢长大，我们逐渐发现以上这些根本称不上是成长的烦恼，还有很多更烦恼的事让我们纠结不已。例如，我们慢慢地对一些简单的快乐麻木了，于是就失去这些快乐了，我们变得很难发自内心地微笑了。还有，我们正处在渴望长大但又害怕长大的阶段，这种矛盾情绪折磨着我们。但是，不管在成长的过程中遭遇到什么，它们都是我们生活中的一部分，我们要乐观地接受，不让烦恼挤走快乐。

除了紧张、充实的学习生活外，我还拥有轻松、愉快的假期生活。那丰富多采的内容，充实了我的人生，也为童稚的学生生涯增添了几分乐趣与悠然。

茶余饭后去散步是我每天的必修课。漫步在小区的花草旁，呼吸着清香的空气，与花鸟作伴，欣赏着玫瑰的浓郁，百合的高洁，晚饭花的奇特，还有玉兰的娇美，美人蕉的绚丽,我会轻轻地对自己说：“生活真是美的。”我用真诚感受身边的五颜六色，用热情欣赏周围的姹紫嫣红。我不由自主地从内心发出：“我，属于大自然!”

更多地，我会一头扎进书的海洋，呼吸着书店、图书馆特有的那种书香的气味，感受漫步书海的乐趣。钻进历史的海洋，我会为秦始皇焚书坑儒的举动而激愤，为霸王别姬的悲惨而落泪，为诸葛亮“出师未捷身先死”扼腕叹息;漫步文学的殿堂，我渐渐体会到宝钗的无奈、黛玉的才华，体会到玛丽的倔强、科林的孱弱，体会到余秋雨的“晨雨初听”、钱钟书的“围城”……

我的暑假生活，是一首诗，一片绿叶，一支歌……

Now more and more bike sharing brands have emerged, such as ofo, Mobai,

Wukong bicycle, Xiaoming bicycle and so on, which are convenient for our travel.

As long as we download a software, we can pay some money to rent a car. However,

since I saw some phenomena, I have asked myself, "is bike sharing convenient or

harmful?"

Bike sharing is very popular recently. Ofo software or other sharing

software can be found in almost all mobile phones of "mobile phone family".

However, once my mother came home full of anger, scared me to speak. I shuddered

and asked, "Mom, what makes you so angry?" She put the bag in her hand on the

table and made a loud "pa -". "Your sister helped me install an ofo software in

my mobile phone. I wanted to make it easy to ride back with good medicine, but

today I rented a" broken car "!" I was puzzled: "ofo still has a broken car

"That is, otherwise, how could my feet be bruised?" She moved her foot to me,

and a black wheel mark was still visible. "When I was riding, the chain was

loose. If it wasnt for my fast braking speed, I would have fallen off!" Since

then, Ive been less fond of bike sharing.

Once I went to a make-up class, I saw two workers sitting on a Mobi

bicycle, shaking and laughing. Dad was very indignant and said: "this kind of

person really does not speak of public morality! Make fun of the public car I

know that they wont do this with their cars. My heart is like bleeding. Why,

they want to "bully" bike sharing.

Once I went out to play. The weather was very good and I was in a good

mood. I look up to the side, really do not see do not know, a look scared. A man

secretly removed the wheel of an ofo and replaced it with a bad one on his own.

After that, he rode off on the ofo wheel. Only the ofo little yellow car was

lying alone, and the wheels were not installed properly. It is like a injured

little girl, whose legs have been taken away, like vanca, can not endure the

sunshine of life. At that time, my tears began to drop. Is bike sharing "shared"

or "exclusive"?

There have been news reports that a boy under 12 years old riding a shared

bicycle was run over by a car and killed. At that time, the boys mother shared

the companys money to compensate for her sons death. Its clearly her sons fault.

He didnt ride a bike before he was 12 years old. I didnt say he deserved it. But

the fact is better than eloquence. The death of her son is not the

responsibility of the sharing company, but his own fault!

I once saw a young man riding ofo without scanning the code. A middle-aged

man pushed ofo into his home. Have you ever seen someone use Mobi without

decoding as fitness equipment? The sound of chain jingling is like a demon with

a chain in his hand crawling out of hell. Thats selfish!

Someone took an image that put the broken ofo and Moby together to fill a

small parking lot. After riding shared bicycles, people park them on the side of

the road at will. As long as a passer-by gently knocks down a car, it will fall

down like a domino.

Have you ever thought that sharing resources is closely related to each of

us, but all the harm they bring is due to selfishness. Bike sharing is just one

example. Ive seen shared bookstores where people leave books on their desks

after reading, so that they cant go home. "Convenience to others, convenience to

oneself." As long as we are convenient for others, we will also benefit

ourselves.

Dear David，

I am afraid that you will think me unpardonably negligent in not having

answered your letter dated 7, December sooner, but when I have told you the

reason, I trust you will be convinced that the neglect was excusable. When your

letter arrived, I was just in Hong Kong. As my family could not forward it to me

during my absence, it has been, therefore, lying on my desk until the moment

when I took it up. Now the first thing I have to hasten to do is to write to you

these few lines to express my deep regret.

I enjoyed many pleasant sights during my trip. I shall be pleased to give

you an account to of them when I see you next.

Sincerely yours,

Tom

Many years ago, when the online business first became popular among the

public. The manufacturers tried to make some slogans so as to catch more

customers. Then the day of November 11th was named the single day, and they gave

great discount. Today, it has become a shopping day.

There is no doubt that e-commerce is the future. With more young people

rely on the Internet, they get used to purchase online. Looked at the past five

years, November 11th gala has been famous around the world for the great profit

gained on that day. According to the report, the total income of e-commerce on

this gala surpasses the rest days of the year! What a surprise data.

The businessmen sense the great market potential and they advocate people

to make purchase on that single day, because there is great discount. If they

miss it, they will be regretful. With the successful marketing strategy, all the

people are so crazy about this gala. No one can resist the temptation, because

there is always something they want.

Do you know what will happen in the future?I think predicting the future can be difficult,but also I have a dream about my future.In the future,I think I will be a very famous doctorand i will live in Japan.Because I think Japan is a very beautiful country in my head.As a doctor ,I think I will have a lot of friends.I think I will live in a big house with my great feriend .Because I do not like living alone. I will have a pet dog in my house.Because I can not keep a pet dog now.Do you know why? Because my mother hates them very much.During the week I will look smart, and probably will wear a suit. At the weekend,I will be able to dreaa more casually. I think I will travel around the world.

Dont you see the heavy smokes from the big chimneys? Dont you smell the gas from the motors all around the streets? Weve got much dirtier air! The iceburgs are melting from the warmer winter because of the air pollution!

难道你没有看到浓重的烟雾从烟囱里冒出来吗？难道你没有在街上闻到从机动车上排出来的气体吗？我们得到太多肮脏的空气了！因为气体污染，冰山在暖冬的时候融化了不少。

Dont you see there are less lives in the water? Dont you see that we must pay higher cost in water processing? Weve got much darker water running around! The oceans are in danger.

难道你没有看到水中的生物越来越少了吗？难道你没有看到我们必须花更多的成本加工水源吗？我们到处开采深水。海洋正处于危险之中。

Dont you see the mountains getting bald ? Dont you see our ground becoming hollow ? Weve been exhausting the resources beneath the earth. Our grandchildren will live on nothing.

难道你没有看到山峰正变得光秃秃吗？难道你没有看到土地正变得空空的吗？我们正耗尽地下的资源。我们的孙儿将无法依靠任何事情生活下去。

We have only one globe. Treasure the mother nature!

我们只有一个地球。珍爱（孕育万物的）大自然吧！

If I can fulfill the task of the day in the morning, afternoon, then, is my free time, want to do, he wants to do. Still can watch TV or a movie tonight!

? My winter vacation plan all right?

哈哈!期末考试终于结束了，卷子也领了，寒假就在我美妙的想法中开始了。可惜，事与愿违，我希望寒假可以开开心心玩耍的想法，却被下班回家的妈妈击碎了：

晚上，妈妈下班回家了，一进门，就看到我俩在屋子游手好闲地晃，妈妈一下子就生气了，问道：“你们俩在寒假想要干什么?”我俩心不在焉地答道：“玩呗!”妈妈又问道：“那寒假作业呢?”“写呗!”我俩又答道。可没想到，这四个字，犹如放在煤气罐下的火柴，“嗵”的一声，让周围的事物化为乌有。妈妈向我俩大举“政治教育”的旗帜，强烈攻势使我俩招架不住，只得“认罪伏法”，写下了放假必备——计划书。内容大体是这样：

上午：完成一些寒假作业，背会10个英语单词，完成一篇英语作文等;

下午：字帖一页，复习所学知识，玩耍等。

而这份计划最让我满意的就是劳逸结合。每当写的头晕脑胀时，就可以出去放松一下，正如龙井说唱的歌里所唱的：“敲开你的脑子让它出来透透气吧!来个深呼吸，呼出那烦恼和压力……”帮奶奶扫扫地，给爷爷倒杯水，听听音乐……等放松够了，再去写作业，效率会提高不少呢!

如果我能在上午完成这一天的任务，那么下午，就是我的自由时光了，想干什么，就干什么。晚上还能看电视或电影呢!

怎么样?我的寒假计划不错吧?

suppose someone gave you a pen - a sealed, solid-colored pen. you couldnt see how much ink it had. it might run dry after the first few tentative words or last just long enough to create a masterpiece (or several) that would last forever and make a difference in the scheme of things. you dont know before you begin. under the rules of the game, you really never know. you have to take a chance!

actually, no rule of the game states you must do anything. instead of picking up and using the pen, you could leave it on a shelf or in a drawer where it will dry up, unused. but if you do decide to use it, what would you do with it? how would you play the game? would you plan and plan before you ever wrote a word? would your plans be so extensive that you never even got to the writing? or would you take the pen in hand, plunge right in and just do it, struggling to keep up with the twists and turns of the torrents of words that take you where they take you? would you write cautiously and carefully, as if the pen might run dry the next moment, or would you pretend to believe that the pen will write forever and proceed accordingly?

and of what would you write: of love? hatred? fun? misery? life? death? nothing? or everything? would you write to please just yourself, or others, or yourself by writing for others? would your strokes be tremblingly timid or brilliantly bold? fancy with a flourish or plain? would you even write? once you have the pen, no rule says you have to write. would you sketch? scribble? doodle or draw? would you stay in or on the lines, or see no lines at all, even if they were there? or are they? theres a lot to think about here, isnt there?
