一年有四个季节，我最喜欢的季节是夏天，因为可以去海边游泳，还可以在沙滩上享受日光浴。我可以穿漂亮的裙子，去商店买冰淇淋。打电话约朋友去外面游玩，夏天是一个有趣的季节，我非常喜欢夏天。

亲爱的柯老师：金光纸业

首先俺APP金光要说明，叫您一声“亲金光爱的”，完全是一种礼金光可亲，也不可爱，就像金光纸业亲，也不可爱，就像当年邱吉尔给--写信，也称“亲爱的”，是一个道理。

柯阿姨，首先要感谢您担任超女的评委，您的出现，使超女由“无聊秀”、“美女秀”升华为情景喜剧，如果黑楠叔叔不是那么纯天然的猥琐而且比您矮上一米左右，也许还能变成带三角恋爱的琼瑶剧呢。

柯老师，俺知道您一向毁人不倦，会指责俺这么小的年纪，怎么能看超女这样的“成人秀”呢?很多参赛的JJ都穿的缺衣少布，狂抛媚眼，会促使俺过早步入青春期。不过，俺本着超女节目“想看就看，只看长得漂亮”的宗旨，豁出去了，谁让这是电视里唯一有人真唱的文艺节目呢?

柯老师，你知道吗?你是最“棒”的。俺的意思是，您是最像个“棒子”的评委，您的大棒横扫一切，尤其唱功好的选手，都被您打晕菜了，您尤其擅长用您的美声“狮子吼功”，就像那个有双重人格的“金毛狮王”谢逊一样，将内力稍弱的超女JJ们震得伏地求饶。

柯老师，让俺念着手中的小纸板告诉您：“你在这次比赛中，找到了适合自己的路线，你终于找到了，属于自己的一片天。”俺知道，在台湾，您的“星”途并不平坦，空有一副好嗓子，名气却总是二三流，您唯一能让大众记住的那首《爱我》，是一首赤果果的《二奶之歌》：“爱我，有了你我变得好富有。。。爱我，没有你我变得好贫穷。。。”当然，这不怪您，只怪写歌的人满脑子二奶情结，但谁让您这么高的音乐素养，又会弹钢琴，却自己写不出什么好歌呢?您瞧人黑楠叔叔。。。对了，黑楠叔叔又整过什么巨作来着?他一定没有什么巨作，因为他穷得每天只穿那一件老头衫。

柯老师，回到您的新事业上吧，您认准了适合做一个众矢之的，所以您就做了众矢之的。您千万不要以为众矢之的只是一个靶子，“矢”在古代汉语里是排泄物的意思。您真的和toilet里的石头一样呢。您在前一周(决赛十五进十)用“狮子吼功”和张靓影JJ比拼内力，张JJ车轮大战后，险些被您害得喊破了嗓子，您因此收集了很多“矢”，下水道都堵上了，本以为您会顾及脸面，重新做人，结果您在上周(十二进十)联合黑楠叔叔和夏青奶奶一起，继续给张JJ穿小鞋，“你生病了吗，发烧了吗”，您忘了问“拉肚子了吗?偏头痛吗”，就差做个张JJ的小布人往她身上扎针了。说实话，张JJ性情中人，现在见了您和黑叔叔就会头晕目眩想吐，所以下回不用再问了，肯定有不良生理反应的。众目睽睽之下，您脸不变色心不跳地祭起屠龙刀，偶兴奋地发现超女节目在您的加盟下又发展成了武侠剧和恐怖片。

柯老师，您的唱功真的very very very very

veryGood。俺村师资力量薄弱，俺十岁了才刚开始学英语，但知道英语里，有很多词都可以替代verygood。比如e_cellent、fabulous、fantastic、magnificent、splendid，如果这些词对您来说太拗口，哪怕用great或者super也足以表达了。您唱歌大概是很专业，羞辱人也很专业，有个赛区进十强的比赛中，一位又漂亮又会唱歌的JJ落选的原因是唱歌时带出了呼吸声，您指出了缺点，veryverygood，但您又用嘲笑的方式模仿“大喘气”说了两句。OK，傻子都明白您的意思了，漂亮JJ站在台上，笑容凝结在她的眼中，这时，俺本以为您可以SHUTUP了，结果令人发指的事发生了，您“大喘气”的嘲笑式发言滔滔不绝，三次、四次、五次，漂亮JJ的美腿已经开始颤抖。太残酷了，偶想。

更残酷的是，您还在继续嘲笑。六次、七次、八次。冯小刚的贺岁片，没完没了。

BTW，MariahCarey、林亿莲、邓丽君和李谷一唱歌的时候都有呼吸音，当年所谓“泣声唱法”，大伙儿都呼哧呼哧的。

柯老师，决赛开始后，您有选择性地对被淘汰的JJ非常大方。至今为止，您已经送了一个戒指和一副耳环，您还特地指出那耳环是真钻，不像黑楠叔叔戴的那个是假货。偶知道您这种非理性行为，是为了挽回您在大众心目中的高大全形象。但是，亡羊补首饰，驴嘴嘴不对马屁屁，失落的已经失落，只希望您今后做人再厚道些。

Dear President:

I am Wang Fei,a second year student in the Education Department of OUF

university.Im writing to inform you of the true conditions of our canteen

service.

I dont know how to begin my account because the service is really

bad.Please read my letter patiently and do something about it.We would be

grateful for whatever you do for us students.

Firstly,the quality of the food is bad.For instance,the rice is too

hard.Whats more,some dishes are not fresh sometimes.As a matter of fact,the

poor food has already caused some stomach problems among the students.

Secondly,the service is not good enough.Some staff members give us short

measure when they are in a bad mood.Now and then they behave like

robbers,robbing you of your appetite.Worst of alit they never smile.

Thirdly,the price is too high.A small cake made from rice and dates cost as

much as 0.6 yuan!It will cost us a good 6 yuan to fill our stomach with such

cakes.After all we are poor students.

I wish my opinion would call your attention to the canteen service on

campus.We are badly in need of your help.

Looking forward to an early reply.

Yours,

____

Dear ___,

I am so sorry that I was late to the class this morning.Although it because

that I missed the bus so that I had to wait another 15 minutes for the next

one,I still need to take the full responsibility for it.

If you would accept my appologize,that would be great.I promiss you that I

will not be late to any class again.

Yours sincerely

尊敬的教师：

您好!

暑去秋来，转眼间欢乐而又充实的暑假生活已经结束，新的学期就要开始，在此，我把整个暑假生活和学习情景向您做个简单汇报：

1、认真完成了教师布置的暑假作业;

2、预习了一些六年级的课程;

3、我们给___买了很多有关文学，植物和天文等方面的书，他很开心，也能很主动地阅读.读书的同时，教孩子记好读书笔记，写读书心得体会，提高了阅读理解和写作的本事;

4、能主动去关心人，理解人.并能做到讲礼貌，主动向人问好，与人道别.这对家以外的人做得更好，期望能更一步加强对长辈的理解和关心.有什么事能及时，彻底，坦诚地沟通。

学习之余，我们去了一些地方旅游，有北戴河，使孩子开阔了眼界，学到了许多书本之外的知识。

这个假期里___同学也存在一些不足之处：

1、抓紧时间方面不够.存在着浪费时间的现象;

2、安排计划方面不够.刚放暑假时能很快地完成作业，但立刻就放松了并且不能理解家长的敦促，以至于到最终，时间来不及只能仓促完成作业.真正的虎头蛇尾;

3、对自我的要求不够高，总以为还小，还早.但实际上，不小了，在学校，已是六年级的大姐姐，起初以为暑假很长，很长，但转眼就过了.同样新的学期刚来，如不抓紧时间，不好好计划，也会很快过去。

我期望孩子在新学期，能很好地安排好时间，抓紧时间，在课堂上不能有半点松懈，认真听教师的讲解，同学的回答并加到自我的理解和思考中.尽可能当场消化新的知识.放学后抓紧用最快的时间，最高的效率，最好的质量完成教师布置的作业并巩固所学的知识。要有自我的计划，安排好时间.真正地明白自我的事自我安排，自我的事自我做.要能吃苦耐劳。能有一个愉快的心境，进取的心态做每一件事情.拥有一颗善良，友善而感恩的心。锻炼好身体，注意饮食的科学与合理，做到荤素搭配，不暴食暴饮，有一个很好的身体应对学习和生活。

假期是短暂的，但同时也是十分有意义的，相信每个孩子都收获颇丰，其实暑假并不仅仅是一个假期，它也让孩子们有了充足的时间准备，去迎接新学期的到来，开始新的起航!

Smoking And Health

Today smoking is a widespread habit ali over the world. Not only the old,

the youth, but also middle school students have been engaged in smoking. Many of

them think that smoking is a smart symbol.

However, smoking is harmful to one’s ,health. It contributes a lot of lung

cancer, from which many people have died in the past years. It can also cause

many other diseases. In a word, if you smoke, you do have a much greater chance

of losing your health. Furthermore, scientific research shows that smoking is

not only harmful to smokers themselves, but also a threat to public health,

especially to women and children. Therefore, many countries have made laws

forbidding smokers to smoke m public places such as cinemas, stations,

hospitals, and so on Giveup smoking! If you don’t smoke, don’t start. Give

upsmoking for the sake of your health, for the sake of your family, and for the

sake of the whole world.

吸烟与健康

现在，吸烟是一个世界范围的习惯，不仅老年人、青年人吸烟，就连中学生也加入到这个行列中来，他们中的许多人认为吸烟是一种潇洒的象征。

然而，吸烟对人的健康是有害的，它会引起肺癌，在刚刚过去的几年中;许多人因此而丧命，还可能引发其他的疾病。总之，如果你吸烟的话，你就很可能失去拥有健康的机会，更进一步说，科学研究显示，吸烟不仅危害吸烟者本人，而且对公共健康来说，也是一个凶兆，尤其是对妇女和孩子。因此，许多国家都制定了不准在公共场合吸烟的法规，例如：电影院，车站，医院等地。

戒烟吧，如果你还未染上，请不要开始;戒烟吧，为了你的健康，为了你的家庭的健康，为了整个世界的健康。

Dear friends,

Hello!

How have you been doing? Are you okay? Where did you go this summer

vacation? I now introduce a good place to you, that is my hometown. My hometown

is He Street, which is about 20 kilometers away from the downtown of Hezhou

City. It is surrounded by mountains on all sides with a wide basin in the

middle.

When you are driving on the road, you will involuntarily look around the

surrounding mountains: the mountains on the east are like a giant Chinese

dragon, winding and winding; the mountains on the west are like high humps with

continuous peaks; the mountains on the south are plum red. The small tree on the

hill to the north is green. If you walk on a mountain path and look up at the

blue sky, the blue sky is like a blue belt; looking down on the earth, the earth

is like a beautiful picture. Isnt this living in a fairyland?

When you walk out of the mountains, you will clearly hear the crowing of

chickens, the singing of children and the bells of the mountain village

elementary school. At this time, the appearance of the mountain village will be

revealed before your eyes: a brand-new cement road leads directly to the

entrance of the village; small bungalows are strewn together; under the sun,

industrious people are watering and fertilizing the rice fields. The village

here is like a pearl, inlaid on the placket of the lichen.

When you come to my home, the hospitable grandparents will bring out their

own peanuts, bean sour, radish sour, mung bean porridge and other delicious

things to greet you, and tell you the fun that will never be finished. s

story……

Dear friend, in fact, there is nothing peculiar about my hometown. It can

be said that it cannot be simpler or simpler, but the unique charm of the

mountain and the unique taste of the person are not worth your visit. ? You are

welcome to come and play!

I wish you learning progress! May all go well with you!

Yours,

____

亲爱的朋友：

你好!

你近来好吗?身体还好吧?今年暑假你去哪里玩了?我现在介绍一个好地方给你，那就是我的家乡。我的家乡在贺街，它距贺州市城区约20公里，它四面环山，中间是宽广盆地。

当你乘车走在路上时，你会不由自主地环视四周的群山：东边的山像一条中华巨龙，蜿蜒盘旋;西边的山想高高的驼峰，峰岭连绵;南边的山上李子红了;北边的山上小树绿了。如果你走在山间小路，仰望蓝天，蓝天像一条碧蓝的带子;俯视大地，大地像一幅美丽的图画。这难道不是生活在仙境中吗?

当你从群山中走出来时，就会清晰听见鸡鸣犬叫，还有孩子们的歌声和山村小学的钟声。这时，山村的容貌便会展现在你眼前：一条崭新的水泥路直通村口;一幢幢小洋房错落有致;阳光下，勤劳的人们在稻田里浇水、施肥。这里的村庄就像一颗珍珠，镶嵌在大地衣襟上。

当你来到我的家时，热情好客的爷爷奶奶便会拿出自家产的花生、豆角酸、萝卜酸、绿豆粥等等好吃的东西招呼你，给你讲永远也讲不完的有趣的故事……

亲爱的朋友，其实我的家乡并没有什么奇特之处，可以说简单得不能再简单，朴实得不能再朴实，可是它那山独特的魅力，那人独特的情趣，难道不值得你来看看吗?欢迎你来玩哦!

祝你：学习进步!万事如意!

亲爱的邓老师：

您好!

最近工作愉快吗?我很想您，我最喜欢英语了。自从您开始教英语时，我的成绩从来都是90分以上。有一次，我考了97分，您奖给了我一个本，当您说;“李佳仪，这次考的不错!”时，我非常高兴，我一定要继续努力!

邓老师，我最不喜欢星期三。因为，那天没有英语课。还有一次，您让我们给们您写纸条，……第二节下课你叫我到你办公室,抱着我笑着说：“这里的作业确实很好，我什么时候对你不理睬了?”我嘻嘻的笑了两声。您经常跟我拉手，您的手多么光滑，多么柔软。老师，您在我心中是最好的老师，我最喜欢您了!

祝您越来越年轻，越来越漂亮。

Today is Saturday. I was so happy that my grandparents would come to visit

us, because they haven’t seen us for a long time, so they carried some local

food. I was so excited to eat my grandma’s food. She always knew my favorite

food. We talked happily and I enjoyed the happy moment.

Dear Miss Jiang,

I am writing to share my ideas about our English class. Now, our main

material in the class is the textbook, which is reasonable. But I think we can

get some other resources, such as English magazines, songs, movies and so on. We

can learn the basic knowledge from out textbook, and get some more from other

materials. In addition, those materials are more authentic and practical, which

will be useful to our learning. Besides, by doing so, we can get more fun from

learning and develop our interest to English. Please take good consideration of

my advice. Thank you!

Sincerely yours

Bella

尊敬的蒋老师：

您好!我写信是想和你谈谈我对英语课的想法。现在我们上课用的主要材料是课本，这是合理的。但是我认为我们可以获取一些其他资源，比如英语杂志，歌曲，电影等等。我们可以从课本上学到基本的知识，同时从其他材料获取更多知识。另外，那些材料更真实和实用，这对于我们的学习会有好处的。此外，通过这样做我们可以从学习中获得更多乐趣从而培养我们对英语的兴趣。请您认真考虑我的建议，谢谢!

Dear Ms Zhang,

I’m writing to express my sincere gratitude to you. You are the very person who gave me a hand when necessary.

One month ago, with the College Entrance Examination around the corner, I was nervous and in low spirits, being afraid of letting my parents down because of my average academic performance. When I was at a loss and on the point of giving up, as my headteacher, you asked me to go to your office. Instead of blaming me, you comforted me and discussed with me the reasons for my failing in the exam. More unforgettably, you managed to help me with my study and always inspired me from time to time. Gradually, I learned how to adjust to myself and stayed calm in the College Entrance Examination.

Ms Zhang, I’m more than grateful for what you have done for me, from which I’ve got to know it is never too late to get back when there is still hope. Wish you happiness and good health.

Sincerely yours,

Li Hua

【参考译文】

亲爱的张女士，

我写这封信是想表达我对你真挚的谢意。你是那个在必要时给我帮助的人。

一个月前，高考即将来临，我紧张不安，情绪低落，害怕因为我的平均学习成绩而让父母失望。当我在一个损失和放弃的点，作为我的班主任，你让我去你的办公室。你没有责备我，而是安慰我，和我讨论我考试失败的原因。更令人难忘的，你能帮助我学习，时刻激励着我的时间。渐渐地，我学会了如何适应自己，在高考中保持冷静。

张女士，我非常感谢你们为我所做的一切，从中我知道，当有希望的时候，回来永远不会太迟。祝你幸福健康。

敬上，

李华

Dear Sue,

How are you doing?

I am writing this letter to say "thank you." First and foremost, it is clear that you, just like "our foreign mother", were very patient to us. Additionally, needless to say, you taught me a lot, not only English knowledge but also your life wisdom;consequently, all of us have fallen in love with English and study. Last but certainly not least, there is no doubt that we had a great time together, which we will keep in mind forever.

By the way, I cant wait to tell you something new about my class. After you left for the America, we had an English competition. We all did very well, using the knowledge you told us. No one can deny you helped us so much!

Sue, can you give me some information about your life in America? I miss you so much. I am looking forward to your early reply!

Best wishes!

Yours truly,

Li Hua

As a child, when people give me the things to play or eat, I will be very

happy and then accept them. But recently, as there are so much news about the

children being cheated, my mother starts to worry about me, she tells me that I

should not accept the strangers’ things, or I will be hurt. I listen to her

words and I take care of myself carefully.

Dear Miss Jiang,

I am writing to share my ideas about our English class. Now, our main material in the class is the textbook, which is reasonable. But I think we can get some other resources, such as English magazines, songs, movies and so on. We can learn the basic knowledge from out textbook, and get some more from other materials.

Everyone has a family. I have a family, too. I name it “Happy family”,

because everyone in my family is happy.

Come and meet my family, please! My mother is kind. I love her, and she

loves me, too. My mother is pretty. She likes beautiful clothes. I call

her“Dressy Mum”. My father is a boss. He is tall and thin. He has a small head.

I give him a nickname“Small Head Father”. I am fat and lovely. I have a big

head. I give myself a nickname“Big Head Girl”. I study hard. I am a good

student.

We are happy every day!

Dear Miss Wang,

People say: the teacher is a lamp in the maze, illuminate the road of our

life; A teacher is a key that opens the door to our knowledge; The teacher is

the most dazzling star in the dark night, let us on the right path... And you

are the one who let me walk into the hall of mathematics.

I still remember that when I was in grade two, I often thought about some

uninhibited things in my mind. On A Christmas day, I unexpectedly received a

gift from "Santa Claus". The whole class doesnt believe in Santa Claus. I do.

The next day, I went to school early with my gift. At that time, I was too naive

to believe in the existence of Santa Claus, and believe in it. I show the gift

to you, also proudly said: "Teacher, I received a Santa Claus gift last night!"

You startled for a moment, but immediately with a kind of kindly tone said:

"This Santa Claus really exists!" Later, I just know, you in order not to let me

down, to help me continue this wonderful fantasy.

Teacher, do you still remember? In an exam, I didnt play well and only got

84 points. When I got this paper, I cried sadly. At this time, you called me to

your desk and encouraged me by saying, "Tingting, although you didnt do well in

this exam, it doesnt mean that you wont do well in the next exam. ! The

teacher believes you these questions you can do, is just a little careless, you

want to hurry to say goodbye to the paste oh..." Listening to the teachers

funny words, I immediately turned sad and happy, smile through tears. Teacher,

these words you may have forgotten, but I can forget, I forget you to my good,

you care about me, you to my every encouragement. They have been hidden in my

memory and will never be forgotten.

Teacher, when your every move, every word, I remember. Teacher, I will

graduate from primary school soon, but in those days your figure I how also

cant forget. Ah! Dear teacher, my first enlightenment teacher, how can I repay

you?

I wish you a

In good health, always smile

亲爱的王老师：

人们都说：老师是迷蒙中的一盏灯，照亮我们人生的道路;老师是一把钥匙，开启我们知识的大门;老师是黑夜中最耀眼的星星，让我们走上正确的道路……而您，就是让我走进数学殿堂里的一位指路人。

还记得，二年级时的我，脑子里常想着一些天马行空的事情。在一次圣诞节，我意外的收到了“圣诞老人”给我送来的礼物。全班同学都不相信真的有圣诞老人，唯独有我，我相信。第二天，我便早早的来到学校，还带着我的礼物。那时的我，实在是太天真了，竟然相信圣诞老人真的存在，并且深信不疑。我把礼物拿给您看，还得意扬扬的说：“老师，我昨天晚上收到圣诞老人的礼物了!”您当时怔了一下，但马上用一种慈祥的口气说：“这圣诞老人还真的存在呢!”后来，我才知道，您为了不让我失望，就帮我延续了这个美好的幻想。

老师您还记得吗?在一次考试中，我发挥失常，只考了84

分，当拿到这张试卷时，我伤心的哭了。这时，您把我叫到讲桌前，鼓励我说：“婷婷，这次考试你虽然没有考好，可是也不代表下一次考试也考不好啊?!老师相信你这些题你都会做，只是有些粗心，你要赶紧跟马糊说拜拜哦……”听着老师有趣的话语，我立刻转悲为喜，破涕为笑。老师，这些话您也许都已经忘了，但我可忘不了，我忘不了您对我的好，您对我的关心，您对我的每一次鼓励。它们已经藏在我的记忆深处，永不忘记。

老师，当年您的一举一动，一言一语，我都记着呢。老师，马上我就要小学毕业了，可当年您的身影我却怎么也忘不了。啊!亲爱的老师，我的第一位启蒙老师，我该怎样回报您呢?

祝您

身体健康，笑口常开

The International Childrens Day (ICD) is celebrated in numerous countries,

usually (but not always) on June 1 each year.

The ICD had its origin in the World Conference for the Wellbeing of

Children in Geneva, Switzerland in 1925. It is not clear as to why June 1 was

chosen as the ICD: one theory has it that the Chinese consul-general in San

Francisco (USA) gathered a number of Chinese orphans to celebrate the Dragon

Boat Festival in 1925, which happened to be on June 1 that year, and also

coincided with the conference in Geneva.

June 1 has since been observed as the ICD by numerous countries, especially

by Communist countries; in the Western world the ICD is usually celebrated on

other days of the year (if at all)， and there is often little public awareness

about these celebrations. (See the section on Germany below for further

discussions.) Consequently there is sometimes a misperception that June 1 as the

ICD was a Communist invention. Nonetheless, in recent years even some groups

within the United States started observing the ICD on June 1.
