去爬山英文作文(20篇)

清晨，荫绿的山谷里，百鸟啾鸣，明丽的阳光照耀着郁郁葱葱的森林，天气就象我的心情一样“好极了”——我们今天要去爬山!磨基山，我来啦! In the early morning, in the green valley, hundreds of birds are glowing, the bright sunshine shines on the lush forest, the weather is as "great" like my mood -- We are going to climb the mountain today! Moji Mountain, Im here!

我们早早就出发了。山坳里几缕淡淡的晨雾缓缓升腾，在半山腰萦绕飘荡，宛若一条洁白的哈达轻轻挂在仙女的脖子上。路树上那晶莹的露水映着初升的朝阳，像颗颗珍珠，一闪一闪地在树叶的尖端颤动着。我们一边欣赏美景，一边朝山顶进发。

从昨晚就兴奋得不想睡觉，一心想着今天“爬山探险”的弟弟“不走寻常路”，几步窜入一条人迹罕至的小道，没办法，我们只有尽力跟上“那只小猴子”的步伐，弟弟跑前跑后，不知疲倦，一会儿在趴在草丛里找蚂蚱，一会儿又翻开石块找蝈蝈，妈妈亦步亦趋，活像护雏的鸡妈妈，我看着快活的弟弟，就象看到“当年的我”，现在的我，想的就是好好享受这难得的没有作业的时光。

爸爸好像也挺享受这难得的闲暇，一路上小曲儿哼个不断，那并不美妙的声音竟也并不象平日那般难听。这条路可真难走，每走一步都很艰难。一边往上爬，爸爸、妈妈一边不时地叮嘱我们要注意脚下，脚要踩稳，有时实在不好爬的时候，爸爸就使劲往上拽我们。

好在爸爸及时制止了弟弟的“胡闹”，我们又回到了上山的“正道”上。越往上走，大自然的气息就越浓厚，我们穿行在神秘而美丽的山中。“美丽的风景总能给人舒适的心情”，你瞧!在前往山顶的一阶阶石梯上，不时会有三四朵红色的小花，在我们不经意间，出现在你的脚两边，仿佛在迎接我们的到来!你听!山中传来了阵阵清脆的鸟叫声和虫鸣声，他们似乎在合奏着一首着名的交响曲……。

终于，我们登上了山顶!我抬头仰望蓝天，天上的云朵白得宛如无瑕的雪;天上的云更软了，软得好像一团团紧簇的棉花;天上的云更静了，静得使你感觉不到它在飘动，“不敢高声语，恐惊天上人”的意境应该就是如此吧;我低头俯视大地，一片片庄稼连在一起，成了绿的世界，绿的海洋。微风拂过，海面泛起了微波，渐渐扩散开来，延绵到远方。远处耸立的高楼，笔直的马路，长虹般的大桥，缎练似的长江，尽收眼底，“会当凌绝顶，一览众山小”的豪气令我意气风发。

“唯有历经攀登的艰辛，方可品评高处的美景”，爸爸的细语震撼了我的心灵深处，这种感觉将永远激励我奋力前行!

我曾经去过很多地方，让我最感兴趣的是去香港的一个地方爬山。那时我和爸爸坐缆车来到山脚下，开始爬山。爬了一会，爸爸就累了，于是我们就坐下来休息。我看见眼前有一片连绵起伏的大 山，又看见有许多奇形怪状的石头，在石头上面有一些古老的图案。我被这里的景色迷住了。这时，爸爸看见远处有一条蛇，他灵机一动，想出了一个坏主意，他对我说：“小贝，你要是敢去摸摸那条 蛇，我就给你十块钱。”我走过去一看，吓了一跳，那条蛇很长，混身是绿色的，我吓的转身就跑。我跑到了一个院子里坐下来休息，我看见地上有小兔，小狗……，它们在地上玩，它们各各都胖乎 乎的，看起来很可爱，真是让我大饱眼福了。

我们继续向上爬，经过我们的努力，终于到了山顶。我站在山顶感觉一伸手就能摸到天上的太阳，它好像要把我的手烤 焦似的。站在山顶往下看，人就像一只只小蚂蚁，楼房就像一块块小积木。

这里的风景真美啊!

像往常一样，我们家三个人在周日这天，又如约而至的来到山脚下，准备这周的爬山运动。每周日，我们家都会来爬山，是运动，也是休闲。

这周日我们换了一座没去过的山，准备去看看这座山的风景。都说“早起的鸟儿有虫吃”，这句话的确没错，因为我们家每次去爬山的时间都非常早，这次也不例外，然而这次去的山是一个著名的景点区，是要收门票的，这一点我们不知道，但更没想到的是，因为我们去的时间很早，门口买票的工作人员们说我们不用买票，直接进去玩就可以了，他们还祝我们玩得开心。一大清早就遇到这样幸运的事情，我们这山就爬起来更带劲了。

爸爸走在前面，妈妈因为我走得慢，陪我走在后面。在前面走的爸爸，一边爬一边看，左看看右看看，看见什么好玩的东西，就嚷嚷着我们赶紧跟上他。我呢，不是体力不行的爬得慢，而是我比爸爸的看还要“贪玩”，爸爸还只是左看看右看看，我的看就是“上天入地”地看了，我不仅要把树上的小玩意儿琢磨一会儿，还要看见一只小动物就想尽办法找到它们的洞穴，不看看它们生活的“全貌”，我就不罢休。妈妈也就在我们中间起到传声筒的作用了，一会儿让我快一点儿，一会儿又让爸爸慢一点儿，她自己则在中间气喘吁吁地看我让她看的又看爸爸让她看的，后来把她整累了，她干脆也不管我们俩了，自己也开始站在山边看山下的风景，感受山里的新鲜空气。

我们家爬山也不全是这样三个人走三条“不同的路”，我们仨在大多数时候还是肩并肩走在山间的小道上，爸爸更是经常帮我和妈妈背我们带的那些水和干粮，谁累了的时候，我们都会一起停下来休息，吃吃背包里的干粮喝喝带来的水，有时候看见山泉了，爸爸就会让我们先等等，他拿着一只空水瓶去给我们接山泉水，每次看着我和妈妈喝到他接回来的山泉水，爸爸就会露出他那天真的像个山里孩子的笑容，满意地望着我俩。

Leifeng was known as a pattern that offered help to others selflessly. He

devoted all this life into his beloved career as well. I, myself, was totally

shocked by his character.

Such is human nature; people trace the good, water flows to low. Everyone

should copy his sprit as our daily life goes instead of uttering a meaningless

slogan “learn from Leifeng, our decent idol”, so that we could definitely see a

lot more smiling faces rather than conflict.

To help others is not a hard thing, however, what you need is to consist

doing it. Take myself as an example. I am the representative of Math, to collect

homework is my daily task, however, I would turn them to the right page for

shorten the time for teachers when correcting them.

I strongly propose that we shall see a better world if each of us treat

Leifeng as our model and copy his spirit.

April Fools Day is a day to play jokes on others, No one knows how this holiday began but people think it first started in France.

In the 16 th century, people celebrated New Years Day from March 25 to April 1. In the mid—1560s King Charles IX changed it from March 25 to January 1. But some people still celebrated in on April 1, so others called them April Fools.

Each country celebrates April Fools Day differently. In France, people call the April Fools “April Fish”. They tape a paper fish to their friends backs to fool them. When he or she finds this , they shout “April Fish!”

In England, people play jokes only in the morning. You are a “noodle” if someone fools you. In Scotland, April Fools Day is 48 hours long. They call an April Fool “April Gowk”. Gowk is another name for a cuckoo bird.

In the America, people play small jokes on their friends and any other people on the first of Aprol. They may point down to your shoe and say, “ Your shoelace is untied.” If you believe them and look down to see, you are an April Fool then.

It is indeed difficult to live without a mobile phone as it helps us in day

to day activities. I cannot live without a mobile phone. Todays generation uses

mobile phones for chatting, surfing and playing games. They dont use the mobile

phone for the real purpose. I admit that living wothout a mobile phone is

extremely difficult but I can live without addicting apps like Facebook, Twitter

etc. The iPhone is a gadget that is encouraging to use social apps and addicting

games. These gadgets though facilitate our work but are making us their slaves.

For example, if a persons iPhone is not working properly, he will be filled

with anger. As new technology is creating new gadgets, so are people raising new

demands. They also hamper academics. Buy a mobile phone but use it for something

productive.

星期六的早晨，天气格外晴朗，妈妈说我们要去爬山，我听了很高兴。因为我最喜欢爬山了，不仅可以呼吸新鲜空气，锻炼身体，还可以观赏大自然的美丽风景。虽然爬山很累，但我也从爬山中得到了许多乐趣。

我们收拾了一些简单的装备就兴致勃勃的出发了。坐在车上，一路欣赏着美丽的风景，心情愉快极了。大约半个小时后，我们就来到了山脚下。一下车，新鲜的空气迎面扑来，空气中弥漫着花草树木的清香，还有许多小鸟在树枝上歌唱，仿佛在欢迎我们的到来。抬眼望去，这座山不算太高，但还是有些陡峭，山顶上隐约可见一座小亭，妈妈说那就是我们今天的目标。我很兴奋，已经跃跃欲试朝目标奔去。

稍微做些准备活动，我便和妈妈开始爬山了。进山的山路上铺了石阶，很好走，被风吹得一尘不染的，只有些落叶在上面。一开始，我劲头十足，很快爬了很长一段路，妈妈被我甩在好远。忽然，我惊喜的发现一条小溪，溪水从高处流下，发出“哗啦啦“的声响。在低洼处积成一个水湾，水湾不深，溪水清澈见底，可以看见水底有许多大大小小的石头，有的石头上长满了绿色的青苔。我蹲在小溪旁，尝试着把手伸进水里，水可真凉啊！这时，我竟意外的发现水里有许多非常小的小鱼，它的颜色近乎透明，不仔细看很难发现，这或许也是为了自我保护吧，我心里想。小鱼快活的无忧无虑地游着，我试图抓住它们，却怎么也抓不着。过了一会儿，妈妈赶上来，看见我在抓小鱼，笑着说：“人家玩的好好的，你何必去打扰它们。”我想了想，也对，在大自然里各种生物都不应该互相打扰，而应共同和谐的生活在一起。啊！多么美好的大自然啊！我们顺着弯曲的小路继续前行，山路开始变得陡峭，在路两边长满了高低错落的树木，我无法叫出它们的名字，各种形状的树叶飘落在地上，给大地妈妈盖上了五彩的棉被。我挑了些好看的树叶送给妈妈，妈妈高兴的说要回去做成书签作为纪念。

我跟妈妈一边说笑，一边继续向上爬，山路越来越窄，连仅有的几个台阶也没有了，只有许多游人长期行走踩出来的土路。道路凹凸不平，无形中增加了攀爬的难度，我们不得不手脚并用，小心翼翼的往上挪。不一会儿，腿就有些酸了，手心也出了许多汗。妈妈看着我有些累的样子，鼓励我一定要坚持住。我心想：我可不能轻易放弃，就像在学习中遇到难题，我一定要把它攻克一样，爬山就是磨练我的意志力。我跟妈妈说：“没事，我能坚持住！”。爬到陡峭处，山路两边增设了铁链。爬累了，我偶尔扶着铁链休息一会儿。我跟妈妈互相鼓励着，扶持着，终于爬到了山顶。迎着清爽的风，我不禁张开胳膊，放眼望去，远处连绵起伏的山峦，跟近处多彩的林丛相得益彰，让人一看就忘记了疲劳。山顶的小亭是木头做的，因为修建的时间很长，有些地方的漆已经掉了，仿佛向人们诉说着它的历史。我跟妈妈坐在小亭里，欣赏着眼前美丽的风景。正值秋天，各种树叶已经变幻成许多不同的颜色，红色、黄色、深绿色……整片树林就像一个多彩的调色板，向人们展示着它的魅力！

在山上休息了一会儿，不禁觉得有些冷，我跟妈妈决定下山了。虽说上山很累，可是下山也不容易啊！因为山路陡峭，向下走的时候，脚底下很滑，一不小心就会滑倒，我们几乎是坐着滑下来。我跟妈妈打趣的说：“真是上山容易，下山难啊！”。

爬山正是我最喜欢的事，因为它带给我美丽的心情和快乐的享受，让我感受大自然的美！虽然需要付出很多的体力，也有很多风险，不过我喜欢这种挑战！

In the Spring and Autumn Period, a farmer in the State of Song was one day working in the fields when he saw a rabbit bump into a tree stump(树桩) accidentally and break its neck.

The farmer took the rabbit home, and cooked himself a delicious meal.

That night he thought, I neednt work so hard. All I have to do is wait for a rabbit each day by the stump.

So from then on he gave up farming, and simply sat by the stump waiting for rabbits to come and run into it.

This idiom satirizes(讽刺，挖苦) those who just wait for a stroke of luck, rather than making efforts to obtain what they need.

今天，阳光明媚，是个出游的好天气。爸爸说要带我们全家一起去爬南山，我们高兴得一蹦三尺高。因为爬山能增强体质，我都等得迫不及待了，弟弟也大声地叫嚷着。

到了南山下面，停在路边的一辆辆汽车令人眼花缭乱。我心里想：原来有这么多人来爬南山啊！爸爸问我们：“你们要走近路还是要走远路。”我毫不犹豫地说：“当然是走远路了，因为能锻炼身体。”爸爸竖起大拇指说：“儿子，好样的！那我们来比赛，看谁爬得最快。”

开始爬了，我像一只勇猛的豹子，快速地往前跑，一下子就把他们超远了。我继续爬，爬到半山腰的的时候，整个人累得气喘吁吁了，就在原地休息一下，又像百米冲刺一样往上跑去，终于第一个爬上了山顶。在山顶上，往下看，高楼大厦变得像蚂蚁一样小，来往的车辆像甲壳虫……现在觉得整个世界被我踩在了脚底下，我要饱览无限的风光，感觉心情倍儿爽。休息了一会，我说：“我们下山吧！”我们就一起下山了。

今天真是一次不错的锻炼机会，同时体会到只有勇者才能尝到成功的喜悦。

十年寒窗苦读，他离大学的殿堂仅一步之遥，以三分之差名落孙山，看着那些考上了大学的昔日同窗兴高采烈眉飞色舞的疯狂劲儿，他觉得自己被这个世界抛弃了，虽然是赤日炎炎似火烧的夏日，他的心却冷到了冰点，一个人呆在就要离开的宿舍里，躺在床上，脚搭在窗栏杆上，两手枕着头，两眼盯着发黑的宿舍天花板，神情恍惚，沮丧之至，十年的辛苦一朝成为泡影，他心有不甘，命运捉弄人，老天不长眼呐。床脚下堆了一地的烟蒂，从不抽烟的他似乎跟香烟有仇似地，整整消灭掉了一包香烟。

无论结果如何，家还得要回。他背着铺盖卷，拖着灌了铅似的双腿，在西垂的月牙陪伴下回家。这一次他感觉到回家的路是那么漫长，此时的山乡小路上，倦鸟已归巢，牛羊早已归圈，家乡的人们早已回家安歇，路上没了乡邻的身影。他怕遇到乡邻，更怕相邻们问他话。

家门尚未关上，一缕昏黄的灯光照射，他感到特别刺眼。家里的那只小黑狗早就嗅到了小主人的气息，插翅一般飞奔而出，转团了身子，围着他亲昵不已，它一点都不知道，平常特别喜欢逗它玩的小主人今天心情特糟，一怒之下，飞起一脚把它踹到一边，小黑狗嗷嗷叫着，躲一边去了，不时还回过头来惊恐地望着小主人，不知道自己犯了什么错，一声不吭，一个人进了自己的房间。

又在床上躺了一天一夜，水米不曾沾牙，茶不思，饭不想。父母看在眼里，急在心上，心痛不已，不知所措，特别是父亲，愁眉紧锁，苍老的头上又增添了几缕白发，背着手在屋里走来走去。

第三天一大早，父亲叫上了他，说是要带他去爬屋后的大山。屋后的大山有点高，他犹豫了一下，还是默默地跟在父亲的身后。山路崎岖不平，父子俩走走停停，一路无语。鸟儿啾啾，绿叶婆娑，凉风习习，风中有一股湿润的青草味儿。他的眉头不再紧蹙，鼻孔似乎也舒展多了。

再高的山也高不过人的脚，将近用了两个小时，父子俩才爬上了山顶。站在山顶，他这才发觉，云是那么白，天是那么蓝，一轮红日从山中喷薄而出，把周围的云霞染的分外绚丽，凉爽的山风掠过发梢，令人心旷神怡，十分惬意，真有点“不畏浮云遮望眼，只缘身在最高层”的感觉了。山下，隐约可见平畴原野坦荡如砥，田间小路交错相通，以前可是从来都没有想到家后的山顶上会有那么美的风景，“不识庐山真面目，只缘身在此山中”，苏轼不愧为一代著名诗人，看问题真的是入木三分，很有哲理。

看到儿子眉头渐展，父亲用手指着山下自家的院子说：“儿呀，你有没有看到咱家院子里柿子树下拴着的那条牛？”确实，自家院子里的那棵柿子树很高大，长了三十来年，柿子快要成熟的日子里，一抬头就能看得清清楚楚，椭圆形，微微泛红的柿子挂在树上，就像一个个小小的灯笼，往往能勾起人的食欲。儿子不明白父亲的意思，使劲睁大眼睛看了看，好大一会儿才从嘴里咕哝一句：“不但牛，连房子都有点看不清。”

“儿呀，在咱家院子里，不要说牛，就是树上的柿子也能一目了然。”父亲缓缓地说，“人这一辈子，很多事就像这树上的柿子，在面前时，你可以看得清清楚楚，就像在你面前一样，如影随形，看到的，听到的都是有关它的事；等你离它远一些，爬到山顶，像我们现在一样，从远处看，你的眼里就不再只有一棵柿子树，而是山上满眼的草木。”

他从父亲的话语中似乎明白了什么。

下山的时候，父子俩走得很快。在路边的水潭边，父子俩坐下歇息。这水潭，一个大，一个小。父亲捡了一个鸡蛋大的石头丢进大的水潭里，只见潭里荡起了一道道的涟漪，波纹一圈一圈地散开，潭水清澈如故；父亲又用两手抱起一个十多斤重的石头掷倒小的水潭里，潭水溅得有三四米高，浑浊一片。“儿呀，现在你的痛苦，就像是把一一个大石头扔进了小潭里，所以你感到痛苦万分，那你不如把你的痛苦当作一个小石头放进大潭里，你就不会那么痛苦了。”

儿子终于明白了父亲的一片良苦用心，回首爬过的山上，风光无胜美好，树更绿了，天更蓝了。

Cinderella cant go to the party because she doesnt have beautiful clothes. Her stepsisters have beautiful clothes. They look very happy. Cinderella is very sad. Cinderellas stepsisters leave the house. They are going to the princes party. Cinderella cries. She also wants to go to the party. Suddenly, a woman shows up. She is a kind fairy.

"Dont worry," says the fairy. "You can go to the princes party." "I cant go," cries Cinderella. "I dont have a nice dress."

It will be all right," says the fairy. "Go get a pumpkin, six mice and a rat." Cinderella quickly finds them. "What will you do?" Cinderella asks. The fairy waves her wand over the pumpkin.

The pumpkin is now a beautiful silver coach. The fairy waves her wand over the six mice. She changes them into six strong men. The six men will walk with the coach. Then the fairy changes the rat into a man. He is the driver of the coach.

The coach is beautiful, but Cinderella still looks sad. "I still cant go to the party. My dress is too ugly," she says. "Dont worry," says the fairy. She waves her wand and makes Cinderellas dress beautiful.

Now Cinderella has a nice dress. It is gold and very pretty. Her shoes are made of glass. Cinderella is so beautiful. She can go to the party.

"I will be back before twelve oclock," says Cinderella. She gets into the coach to go to the party.

The princes palace is full of people. They are all happy to be at the big party. All the girls want to marry the prince. Then Cinderella walks into the palace. "Who is she?" everyone asks. "Shes so beautiful," they say.

The prince finds Cinderellas shoe. "I know this shoe. It belongs to that beautiful girl. Ill find her," he says. The next morning, he goes from house to house to find her. He goes to Cinderellas house. The two ugly stepsisters try on the shoe, but their feet are too big.

"Can I try it on?" asks Cinderella. "Yes," the prince says, so Cinderella tries the shoe on. It fits her foot. "I have found my princess," the prince says. Soon Cinderella and the prince get married. They live happily ever after.

今天阳光正好，正是爬山的好天气，约上三五好友，我们一起走健身道。

都说爬山很累，但我乐在其中。虽然我们汗流了、气喘了、脚酸了，但我们的眼睛却饱览了美景，增长了见识，身体也变结实了!

站在五龙山上，放眼望去，山脚下那密密麻麻的高楼大厦，就是我们的家乡——温岭。再看蓝的天，白的云，搭配那青山和绿水，不就是一幅绝美的图画吗?你看，这边枫树的叶子红了，红得那么美，那么醉人;再看那边，盈盈湖水，远远看去像是一面镜子，倒映着周围的群山;咦，前面路边那一个个火红的东西是什么?红灯笼吗?——哦，原来是成熟了的柿子呢!拐过一个弯，我们听到了溪水潺潺流动的声音，那溪水从石缝间奔跑出来，欢快地跳动着，流淌着……

我们循着健身步道一直往前走，只见一处悬崖边上围了栏杆，我看了一眼，咦，是木头的吗?一旁的老妈笑着提醒我：“你再仔细看看，这可不是木头哦!”不是木头?我又仔细打量了一下这“木头桩”，并用手摸了摸，原来这是水泥做的呀!又走了一会儿，我们看到了一处工地，那里有几个工人正在给水泥栏杆加工，使它看上去像是木头，更加美观。我过去仔细查看了一番，原来他们给水泥柱子抹上了加了棕色颜料的水泥，再画出一道道树的纹路，使它看起来像木头一样。

这时，小道上迎面走来几匹马?不对，是骡?俗话说：“是骡子是马，拉出来遛遛就知道了。”可是凭我浅薄的经验，我确实分不清它们。最后，我们请教了赶货的师傅，才知道它们原来是骡子。

路上的风景实在很美，一路上的见闻还有很多，现在，你能感觉到我们爬山的乐趣了吗?那么，让我们一起去爬山吧!

“啊!山可真高呀!”我站在山脚下向上望去，山好高，山上长着很多树木，石阶很高、很陡，两旁的扶手都是粗粗的麻绳，还在不停地摇晃，我深吸了一口气，开始爬山了。

我一刻不停地走着石阶，不一会儿就来到了半山腰，身上已经出汗了，该歇一歇了，我停下来抬头看看四周的风景。山腰两旁的树木长得很高，起码有我身高的三、四倍的高度，这些树都有着浓密的深色树叶。一些黄色的小野花盛开着，有些长在大树下，有些却长在石阶缝里，不论长在哪里，但都长得很美丽。我扭头朝山下望去，看见一个个像小球一般大的人在慢慢地向上移动着，突然一阵冷风吹在我脸上，好像在催促我快爬似的，于是我不得不戴上手套和帽子继续向上爬，越爬山路越陡，越爬越紧张，终于一股作气爬到了山顶。我向天空望去，好像离我很近，白云看得很清楚，我有种想飞上天的冲动;我向前望去，一排排高楼大厦显得特别矮小;向下望去，像小球一样的人变得更小了，像一只只小蚂蚁似的在慢慢爬动。我的脚时不时地发抖，因为栏杆是粗粗的麻绳，还在不停地晃动，仿佛很容易就会掉下去，我的心变得紧张，都能听到自已“扑通、扑通”飞快的心跳声，我紧紧抓着麻绳，一心直想快点下山去。

for you in China。

如果你要我为你在中国做些事情，请不要犹豫，写信给我。

Best wishes，

1．词语选择的重要性

在The Right Word at the Right Time的“序言”中，编者对词语选用的重要性作了一个很好的比喻：“Using the right word at the right time is rather like wearing appropriate clothing for the occasion：

it is a courtesy to others，and a favor to yourself-a matter of presenting yourself well in the eyes of the world."

显然，说话或写文章时用词适当比穿着适当难度大得多，因而也具有更大的重要性。在我国，古人写文章时常为一个词语的选用具思苦想，因而有“语不惊人死不休”的说法。

成语“一字值千金”也说明了选择词语的极端重要性。有时“一字之差”造成令人遗憾的败笔，或招致成千上万的经济损失。这些反面的教训也告诉我们必须重视词语选用的问题。

2．词语选择的可能性

实际上，我们每个人的脑子里都有了一个或大或小的词库，只要我们肯去发掘，往往可以得到更好的表达方式。这是我们做好词语选用的主观条件。

从客观条件广看，我们有各种类型的词典和参考书，只要我们平时多翻译、多阅读，写作时勤查考，就会在词语选用上不断进步。当然，一部好词典也不会毫无缺点，更难以面面俱到，因此在这里我们应牢牢记住著名英国作家、评论家和辞书编纂家Johson的话：

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

今天天气晴朗，爸爸带着我去爬山。

天平山的风景真美啊!轻风抚摸着我的头，仿佛在欢迎来爬山的客人。小鸟在树上欢叫着，好像在说：你好。树叶沙沙作响，好像在弹奏一首美妙的曲子令人心旷神怡。

爬到半山腰，爸爸突然说要和我比赛。比就比，爸爸跑得肯定没我快，我赢定了!开始了，我使出浑身解数，在山坡上飞奔。可一转眼，爸爸居然不见了。

我非常紧张，感觉天旋地转。苍白色的阳光，格外的炙热，好像要把我烤熟，本就紧张的心情更烦躁了。小鸟叽叽喳喳地叫着，好像在嘲笑我走失了，大树的沙沙声也消失了，被太阳烤得有气无力。爸爸!爸爸!你在哪里?

忽然，一个带黑框眼镜的人，出现在我的眼前爸爸!我一下跳进了爸爸的怀里，小鸟不叫了，太阳送来万道金光，温暖舒适，恰好轻风姐姐路过，给我们带来了花朵的芳香，大树又精神起来。

走着走着，我忽然感觉腿开始发软，有点累，可我还是硬着头皮坚持着。终于，我扛不住了，行动也越来越慢。爸爸也察觉了，冲我喊道：小运动健将，这就爬不动了?也不过如此嘛，果然还是我更胜一筹啊。

爸爸的话激起了我的斗志，瞬间身体充满力量，我怎么会认输呢，我一定可以的。我一咬牙，憋足气，硬是爬到了山顶。果然，山顶的风景更加美丽。大树郁郁葱葱，阳光也更明亮了，似乎都在为我欢呼。

但我知道，山顶最美丽的地方，不是风景。
