Li Yan, my best friend, is my classmate. She has big eyes. Her long hair is often plained. Sweet smile is often on her face, which makes her more lively.

Li Nan is very clever. She is good at her school subjects. She has won the school scholarship twice. I always take her as my model in study. She tells me that we should make good use of time.

Li Yan is kind-hearted and is always ready to help others. Any student in my class who has trouble in study likes asking her for help. But she doesn’t like others to praise her, because she thinks what she did is ordinary.

I feel proud to have such a friend.

李艳很聪明,学习很好,两次获得学校的奖学金,她是我学习上的榜样。她告诉我说我们应该充分利用时间。

李艳很热心,乐于助人,班里同学学习上有困难,都喜欢找她带忙。但她不喜欢别人夸奖她,因为她认为她做的很普通。

Hello, everybody

My name is Justin ZHAO. Its said that a persons name may reflect or determines his destiny or fate in a way.

I’m open minded, easy-going, warm hearted with a sunshine smile. I have superb and god features such as honesty and sweet temper. Also, I much enjoy making friends from all walks of life. My favorite fun is travelling around the world.

I was borned on Feb. 2, 1976. I had an elder sister two and half years older than I. Frankly speaking, I should say I had a good and memorable childhood in my life. I was not a leading student in my elementary school but in junior middle School. I scored good marks and ranked high both in my class and in the grade. Thats the honorable and shining time. Things began to change from the date I stepped into the No.28 senior high school in Shenyang. I always chose the wrong school to go to. Therefore, I learned and cherished the most remarkable experiences in my schoolings. I made a very good and dependable friend and related to him till now. I cherished it deep in my heart so much.

This is me, a man who never stops going forward!

Thank you!

Great, thats great! At last I was looking forward to the holiday of national day. I can always relax and relax. My parents and I had an early appointment to travel by train during the national day. On this day, I got up early, and when everything was ready, my family set out. When we arrived at the square in front of the train station, it was already a sea of people, and we were crowding the railway station with the endless stream of people.

Into the waiting hall, here is a racket, crowded, we managed to find a space to sit down, I drink slobber, rest for a while, restless eyes began to look around. Not far away, a pair of silver - haired old couple helped each other, slowly sitting on their seats and talking in a small voice. On the other side, a few middle school students were laughing loudly. A tour guide, holding a small flag, is talking to the tourists of the tour group... "Why?" Suddenly, a sound of childish sound attracted me, I looked back, a chubby little girl sat on her mothers lap, "why together and we cant go out and play dad?" The little girl innocent eyes full of doubts, long eyelashes glitter, mother lovingly stroked the girls head, said softly: "your father is a traffic policeman, in order to ensure the safe travel, to the holidays will be more busy, can not go out to play with us." The little girl Sidongfeidong nodded, nestled in her mothers arms. I listened quietly, eyes unconsciously fall in the busy distance from time to time flashed, cleaners are carefully clean the ground, wiping tables and chairs, the policeman is patrols, warily watching the situation around the station staff smiling, patiently answer questions of passengers. It is their hard work that makes our trip safer and more convenient.

This picture, I have been deeply remember in the heart, when we celebrate the holiday with my family, we have to wonder whether this happy, how many people need to work to pay, and the family when we have a joyous gathering, to wonder whether and how many people still insist on work, not and your family reunion? These honorable men, let me say, "thank you!"

太好了,太好了!我终于盼来了国庆节长假,总算可以放松放松了,我和爸爸妈妈早就约好了国庆节期间坐火车去外地旅游。到了这一天,我早早地起了床,一切准备就绪后,我们全家出发了。到达火车站前广场时,那里早已是人山人海,我们随着川流不息的人群挤进了火车站。

走进候车大厅,这里更是人声鼎沸,热闹非凡,我们好不容易才找到空位坐了下来,我喝了口水,休息了一会儿,眼睛开始不安分地四处打量起来。不远处,一对满头银发的老夫妻互相搀扶着,慢慢地坐到座位上,小声地交谈着。另一边,几名中学生在大声地说笑着。一位导游举着小旗子,正在向旅行团的游客们说着什么……。“为什么?”突然,一声稚嫩的童音吸引了我,我回头一看,一个胖乎乎的小女孩儿坐在妈妈腿上,“为什么爸爸不能和我们一起出去玩而呢?”小女孩儿天真无邪的大眼睛充满了疑惑,长长的睫毛忽闪着,妈妈爱怜地抚摸着小女孩儿的头,轻声说道:“你爸爸是一名交通警察,为了保证大家的出行安全,到了节假日会更加忙碌,就不能陪咱们出去玩儿了。”小女孩儿似懂非懂地点点头,依偎在妈妈的怀里。我静静地听着,目光不觉落在了远处不时闪现的忙碌的身影上,清洁工人正在仔细认真地打扫地面,擦拭桌椅,警察叔叔正在四处巡逻,警惕地注视着四周的情况,车站服务人员面带微笑,耐心地解答着旅客的疑问。正是他们的辛勤工作,使我们的出行更加安全、便捷。

这一幅幅画面,都被我深深地牢记在心中,当我们和家人一起欢度国庆假期时,是否想过,我们拥有的这份快乐,需要多少人为之工作,为之付出,当我们和家人欢聚一堂时,是否想过,又有多少人还要坚持工作,不能和家人团圆呢?这些可敬的人啊,让我真诚地说一声:“谢谢您们!”

Unlike Martin Luther King’s, my dreams are fair and plain, and there are

many of them. I have a dream from the first time I sit in a car—I want to

drive.

Driving is like running without foot, racing without strength. It’s the

most meaningful way to meet human being’s desire of “faster”. When driving, I

have to put all my spirit to. Operating a car at ease will cost years of

experience.

Driving will take me to my wanting destination, no matter it rains or snows

or winds. I never am afraid of shoes wet, umbrella broken or ears frozen. A car

is rather like a moving house, which protects me completely and helps me rush

directly to the aim hanging ahead. That suits my nature perfectly: love to take

risks conservatively. A smooth ride in a good car is an enjoyable satisfaction.

Seeing rows of trees moving backward rapidly, a feeling of stepping forward will

fill fully in my mind. With music hovering, breeze blowing, my soul flies in the

air.

I was always sick when took a ride of a car, especially when I was young.

Father told me that a driver would never have carsick. That may be one of the

important reasons for me to desire driving.

This summer I am going to learn driving and get my car license. The dream

with all my heart will follow the promise it had made.
