i spent this summer vacation in quite a different way. i used to run about every day in previous summer vacations, but this summer vacation i simply could not afford to do so. i would soon be in the last year of my high-school education and would after graduation be up against the college entrance examinations. though those examinations were still a year away, i had to start early to make myself well prepared by reviewing all those things i had learned at school and this summer vacation was the ideal time for me to do this. at first i was rather dismayed at the thought of this, but later i thought it was better this way because by working hard this summer i could count on endless happy summers to come. with this in mind i then set to work like anything and only occasionally went out for a change or did some physical. i was not at all bored by this kind of life, for i was sustained by a hope.

I started playing a small note, good things, bad things too numerous to mention, I will list a happy thing for everyone to see it.

Once, I told my buddy Xu Weiming to play with the embankment. We saw a lot of pebbles in the distance, we went together in the past, put a row of pebbles thrown into the river, the game who threw far, and later we play sweat, they sat on the cobbled puff.

I found a piece of wood in the distant stone heap. I said to Xu Weiming: "We put the board as a surfboard, how?"

"Well, and I mean." Xu Weiming happy said.

I said, "Let me try it first!"

"Well, thats all right." Xu Weiming hesitated.

So, I do a good job "skateboard" on the slope, after a long while also filament does not move. I had to ask for help Xu: "Xu Weiming, you kick me kick me down." So he told me to give me a kick. I "thundered" slipped down. That feeling really cool. The final direction did not master, planted a few big somersault, became a sand man.

I went up, down to Xu Weiming smile before leaning forward. I look at the ground of a pool of water, the whole big face, even my own laughter. Later, when he slipped my lesson in the downhill stopped the surfboard before no old tricks. So we spent a pleasant afternoon.

This is one of my happy things, you also told me to listen to it!

Dear Professor Smith,

I am Li Hua, chair of the Students’ Union of Xinhua Middle School. Our school will have the Second Culture Festival next weekend and I am writing to invite you to give us a lecture about the cultural differences between America and China, which will begin at 9 o’clock and end at 11 o’clock on Nov. 28th in Classroom 201 of the third teaching building.

As an expert in international culture, you must have a good knowledge of the cultural differences between America and China, so we hope you could help us increase our knowledge and clear some cultural confusion.

Could you please contact us in advance at Englishtec @163.com if you could come to our culture festival? We are looking forward to your reply.

Usually, the Valentine’s Day has no connection with the traditional Chinese

festival, but this year, the Lantern festival falls on the same day with the

lovers’ day. Well, some young will face a dilemma，especially for those who

doesn’t get married. Should they spend the day with their families or their hot

lovers? That’s a question. I’ve got a key that can solve this problem.

Family comes first of course. You should wake up a little earlier in the

morning, and help your mother in the kitchen. On the Lantern Festival, making

rice balls and dumplings are the traditional activities. Having a reunion dinner

with the whole family is also very important, so you need to show up and stay

with your family for the whole morning. Spend some time with your family. Keep

them company and make them happy. In the afternoon, there are maybe not so busy,

you can plan for the Valentine’s Day with your girlfriend or boyfriend, you can

have some snacks in 4p.m, and tell your parents you will hang out with your

friends at night and not having supper at home tonight. They would be

understood. Then you can take your girlfriend or boyfriend to a nice restaurant

and see the latest movie after dinner. Do not forget to present the gift you

prepare for your lover. Make your lover happy, too.

I think everybody should find a balance between family love and lover’s

love. If I can only choose one, I will choose family love over the other.

Because I know my family never leaves me and my parents are aging. How many days

can I still be with them? So I really appreciate the days that I can still be

with them. I know you will do the same just like me.

My english teacher is nice. She has long hair. She likes singing and music. She likes to play sports in the afternoon. She loves our classmates very much. She looks like our sister.

She is good . She gets up at 6:50. She goes to work early. She has funny english class. In the afternoon, we play together.

She loves us,we love her. We lover each other!

Dear Mr. Williams,

Thank you for your letter of congratulation on my exam results. I was very pleased to hear from you. The results were a great relief. I did much better than I thought I would.

We are having a celebration party on Saturday 22 May and we shall be pleased if you can come. It is a party for me, but my parents and some of their old friends are joining in, so you will find "real people" as well as teenagers to talk to.

The party starts at half past six- drinks, and a buffet supper later. You said in your letter that youve given up driving, so my father will meet you with the car at San Mateo station. Please let me know what time your train arrives.

There is a good train back to San Palo at 10:30 and well arrange transport for you to catch that. I hope that wont be too late for you. It would be a pity if you had to leave while the party was still in full swing.

I do hope that you will be able to come.

Yours sincerely,

Lily Chen

阳光明媚的早晨，迈着轻盈的步子来到学校。校园是那样的静，整个校园沐浴在晨光中显的是那样年轻，那样漂亮。

今天，教研室领导要到我校指导工作，每位老师都在认真地做着准备，等待着领导的指导，也等待着一个个活泼可爱的孩子的到来。校门一开，孩子们迈着整齐的步子有序的走进校园，一个个精神饱满的走进各自的教室，开始了一天的学习。早读课和第一节都是语文，我用心的带孩子们认真的学习，不知不觉一节课就结束了。第二节孙老师要在我班上音乐课，我迅速把学生组织好带到上课地点，孙老师已经在那里等待着孩子的到来。笑容满面的孙老师一下子让孩子轻松起来，我也放松了紧张的心情。

丁零零，上课铃响了，孙老师亲切的语言一下子吸引了孩子们，乘着快乐大巴的游戏，一下子让课堂活跃起来，个个孩子开心极了。这也让我变得轻松无比，让我不由的想，自己的课堂为什么就不能让孩子们轻松的学习呢？主要的原因还是自己驾驭课堂的能力不高，没有像孙老师那样认真全面的备课，细心地钻研教材教法。另外整节课，教师设计的每一个教学环节环环相扣，让孩子在轻松快乐中学到知识，真的让人感到幸福快乐。

作为一位语文教师，跟孙老师的课堂相比那差的太远了，每节课都是感到紧张任务重，每节课都不能更好的吸引孩子们，不能让孩子们在游戏中学习。静心想一想，这些都是自己不用心，让自己上的辛苦，孩子们学的辛苦。为了让孩子的每节课都快乐起来，我们必须不断学习，不断向有经验的教师学习，改变自己的教法，采取不同的学习方式，让孩子们在幸福快乐中成长，相信我会努力的！

今天我上网做英语假期作业，我下定决心一定要得个满分给妈妈和爸爸看。

首先点击假期作业，开始玩“疯狂游戏机”啦，它的图案是一个马蜂，我想要是写错了肯定有一些马蜂来顶我吧！再点击一下，哦！原来游戏规则是：我们要按照电脑报出来的句子来按顺序点击它给你的单词。我心想这玩意儿可真难玩：有好几个重复的，而且还不好点击。后来我发现重复的当中，原来还有字首大小写的区别。掌握了这一点就很好玩了。几分钟，我就将它们一举攻下！最后数据给我了一个出人意料的成绩：114分。满分耶！呵呵！其实英语也不是那么难学，这种玩中学的方法我喜欢。你看，上面还有全班大爆料游戏，不用学，我就玩会了，但是同学已经把我爆料了77下啦！

网上作业就是好，同学最近状态，还有在班上你的成绩排第几，都能知道。而且不像其他的英语作业，枯燥无味，一点儿新鲜感都没有，还难把单词给记住。

我喜欢做网上作业！

Dear Sir,

I am a December 2003 graduate from the University of San Francisco (USF) with a bachelors degree in International Business. As part of my career planning, I am very interested in supplementing my international business education with a basic knowledge of the Chinese language. This I hope will help me enter into business commerce with business organizations partnering with Chinas economic development.

I already have information from BLCU and hope to study there for at least one full year starting with this summers program continuing through the fall and spring semester 2006. Can your office advise me if such scholarships might be available to me?

I have been studying Chinese for one year now. I am not sure what level I belong to. I was told that there will be an HSK test in our university in September. I am planning to attend the test. But I dont know if the result of the test is recognized by your university. If so, can it be a help for me to apply for the scholarship?

I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Yours faithfully,

Tom Jolly

In todays world there is no big problem as a population. People began to worry about the support of the earth. And theres probably only standing room for everyone in the future.

The population of Lima is 5. It was 7 million in 1985, but it grew to 9. 1 million in 2000. Tianjin was 790 million in 1985. In 2000, it increased to 9. 7 million dollars. London, Osaka, Moscow, Beijing, Karachi, New Delhi, Jakarta, Seoul and Tehrans population growth has a similar city. Calcutta, Shanghai, New York, St Paul and STO saw a faster population explosion. Tokyo has 18 million 800 thousand in 1985. It became 20 million 200 thousand in 2000. Mexico City had 17 million 300 thousand people in 1985, but in 2000, its population reached 25 million 800 thousand!

What does population growth mean? This means increasing consumption and greater soil pressure. If more people are added to our world, the population has not been warned or taken any action, we will only stand in the end of twenty-first Century.

Each government and the United Nations should see that each countrys population and each city stay for the next 50 years.

Today, we read a lot about the passage to protect the environment. I recall ever happened in my side.

Remember last years summer vacation, my father and I went for a walk EHu edge, a way, Im kind of shouted thirsty, so my father on the side of the road store bought me a Popsicle. I ate and go, soon finished eating, carelessly threw the ice sticks into EHu. Dad saw, reminded me immediately; "Coco, cant litter oh! If everyone like you to throw garbage in the lake, the beautiful EHu lake becomes waste." Im ashamed of say: "know, next time I must not litter." Dad smiled and stroked my head and said: "the earth is our home, we should protect it, cherish it, let the sky bluer, the water cleaner, the grass is greener." I naughty to say: "oh, that is, everybody has said, the city is my home, clean environment depends on everybody. I understand." From then on, I no longer throw garbage.

I want to take care of the environment is closely related to everyone, so lets start from everyone!

今天，我们读了很多关于保护环境的小短文。我想起曾经在我身边发生的事情。

记得是去年的暑假，我和爸爸一起去鹅湖边散步，走了一段路，我就一个劲的喊口渴，于是，爸爸就在路边的小店给我买了根冰棍。我边吃边走，一会儿就吃完了，随手把冰棍棒往鹅湖里一扔。爸爸看见了，马上提醒我说;“可可，不能乱扔垃圾噢!如果每个人都像你一样往湖里扔垃圾，这美丽的鹅湖不就变成了垃圾湖了。”我羞愧的说：“知道了，我下次一定不乱扔垃圾。”爸爸微笑着抚摸我的头说：“地球也是我们的家，我们应该保护它，爱护它，让天更蓝，水更清，草更绿。”我调皮的说：“噢，那就是大家一直说的，城市是我家，环境清洁靠大家。我明白了。”让从那以后，我再也不乱扔垃圾了。

我想爱护环境与每个人息息相关，所以要从每个人做起!

英语原版小说的阅读技巧与策略说实话,在原版小说的阅读方面,我不是高手,虽然有很多恩师淳淳教导,自己也买了借了很多原版小说,在我印象中,没有一本好好读完的,唯一的一本大16开的600多pages的原版教材,到是花了3个月的时间啃完了.

近来由于2外的需要,本人再次向原版小说进军.我把自己的一些3角猫的阅读技巧与策略祥述如下,希望各位高人指点在下…

1. why to read original edition novel

要想真正提高外语水平,阅读原版小说是必经之路,正如不是每个人都能成为外语高手一样,

不是每个人都能够有毅力读完N本原版小说的.(我特佩服门卫,能够把一本都上N遍,如果我有这种毅力的话,早就成为高手了…)

2. fundamental conditions

语法:系统准确的掌握语法. 基本上,如果是E,高中毕业以后这一点都达到了

词汇: 熟练词汇>2.5k, 认知词汇>5k

工具书:一本C-E,

一本E-E,或者用文曲星代替,但我偏好字典----词汇认知学指出,词汇的记忆效果与词汇的检索时间正相关(我现在读法文,由3本D, F-C,F-E,F-F)

3. 选材,仁者见仁,就我个人而言, 我偏好当代中篇作品(我现在选了一本Marcel Pagnol 写于1957年的, 280pages)

4. 前期工作: 查找百科全书或相应的工具书,了解到作者的生平,作品,世人的评价.

5. 阅读中的词汇学习: 每天阅读6 pages(6X225=1350字),在阅读过程中碰到new words先做标记,读完后再查D, 把生词记载在本子上,并及时背诵(我现在最怕的就是这一点,会不会半途而废???)

6. how to read

我准备默读, 这是我的习惯,朗读太费劲了,泛读也没有意义,介于精泛之间

7. read what

我主要研究其词汇搭配.词汇的用法是语言中最难的,比如,法语中最简单的一个介词à,用法不计其数,在大型D上有好几页,

为什么同样的词汇在名家手下就生龙活虎,到了我的手下就一潭死水呢?我认为这应该是读原版小说的最根本目的.

记得AS以前告诫我,要多学词法,少背词汇, 可惜一直没有好好的实行, 现在,我就以法语作为实验品吧…再次谢谢AS!!!

我准备把注意力集中在介词,连词,动词上面,因为名词和形容词的用法太简单了,不知这样是否OK?

8. how to digest

每读完一章写一篇读后感,相当于开卷考试,经常并及时背诵本子上的new words

9. 结语

方法人人都有,上面只是我个人的对策,真诚的希望大家对阅读原版小说提出意见和建议.

When you ask the people around you, what is the most important festival in China, I think ninety-nine percent will say the same answer, that is the Spring Festival. About the origin of the Spring Festival, there is a old story. One is called "year" beast, will attack people from time to time. To ward off beasts years, people have to the last day of the old set off firecrackers and pasted red paper on the front door and window. Fortunately, the year for fear of the sound of firecrackers, and red stickers, dare not to come again. In order to commemorate the day, our ancestors put on the first day of the lunar New Year as the "Spring Festival".

During the Spring Festival, all the family members gather together for dinner on New Years eve night. Apple, fish, noodles, dumplings, pork, chicken, candy is an essential part of the table. "Fish" represents "more than" year after year; "Apple" herald "do things go in peace, the smooth". "Noodles" said "healthy life", as for the other, said will you have a good luck in the New Year.

The most happy children is the Spring Festival. Not only because they are more than a lot of friend, they can also get a red envelope. A red envelope, they can do anything you want to do: set off firecrackers, buy new clothes, buy everything you want. The best place for children, this is the Spring Festival, isnt it?

Not only means the beginning of the New Year the Spring Festival, is also carrying people wish for New Year. We hope the New Year wish will come true, life for the better. Anyway, the Spring Festival is the most meaningful family reunion, we spent together with family, this is the whole of the Spring Festival.

当你问周围的人，什么是中国最重要的节日，我想百分之九十九的人会说出同一个答案，那就是春节。关于春节的由来，还有个古老的故事。一个叫“年”的猛兽，会时不时的袭击人们。为了赶跑猛兽年，人们不得不在旧年的最后一天放鞭炮，在正门和窗户上贴上红纸。幸运的是，年因为害怕鞭炮的响声和红色的贴纸，不敢再来了。为了纪念这一天，我们的老祖宗把新年农历的第一天定为“春节”。

在春节期间，所有的家庭成员都在除夕的晚上会聚集在一起吃年夜饭。鱼、苹果、面条、饺子、猪肉、鸡肉、糖果是餐桌上必不可少的。“鱼”代表着“年年有余”;“苹果”预示着“做事情平平安安，顺顺利利”;“面条”表示“健康长寿”，至于其他的，表示新年会甜甜蜜蜜有好运气。

小孩子是春节中最高兴的。不仅仅是因为他们多了很多小伙伴，他们还能拿到红包。有了红包，他们可以做任何想做的事情：放鞭炮，买新衣服，买一切想要的东西。对小孩子来说，这就是春节最好的地方了，难道不是吗?

春节不仅仅意味着新年的开始，也承载着人们对新年的祝愿。我们希望新的一年愿望会实现，生活变得更好。不管怎么样，春节最有意义的就是阖家团圆，我们与家人一起度过，这就是春节的全部。

Almost everybody loves music, because music has its power. It can brings

joy to people when they feel upset. As for me, when I am not happy, I will turn

up the music in my bedroom, singing loudly and shaking my body. As Im immersed

in the music world, I will forget the annoyance and become active again. Music

also brings me the happy memories. Some songs have special meaning for me.

Whenever I hear them, the happy memories will appear in my mind. I feel life is

such wonderful for me. Music is the most beautiful language in the world. It

touches everybodys heart with beautiful rhythm.
