Grandpa helps grandma with the small work, in charge of buying the side dishes, the dressing, the oil salt sauce vinegar, the POTS and pans. I was responsible for "stealing", and after cooking, I always used the salty excuse of the dish to steal the good food.

“过年啰！过大年啰！”在孩子们的欢声笑语中将要迎来“兔”年，处处是一片喜气洋洋。我和爸爸妈妈一起贴春联，爷爷和奶奶在厨房切菜剁肉准备丰盛的年夜饭，家中充满了节日的欢乐！

我家的年夜饭分工合作，各司其责。奶奶是总设计师，负责人员调度和做菜。为了年夜饭奶奶会把柜子里的一套精美的新餐具拿出来用。爷爷帮奶奶打小工，负责买配菜、买调料、拿油盐酱醋、锅碗瓢盆。我嘛，就负责“偷吃”，菜做好后，我总以尝尝菜的咸淡为借口，来偷吃做好的菜。

在奶奶的指挥和操持下，晚上六点整我们的年夜大餐正式开始，一盘盘色香味俱全、香喷喷的饭菜端上桌来，我看得眼花缭乱。其中红烧鱼、安豆头、水芹菜是我们必吃的菜，寓意着年年有余，平平安安和路路通。今年还是我第一个出场，我端起酒杯祝愿爷爷奶奶福如东海，寿比南山。祝愿爸爸和妈妈身体健康，笑口常开，工作顺利；爷爷奶奶祝我学习进步，爸爸妈妈祝我身体健康，天天好心情，“干杯！干杯”

我家的年夜饭一直吃到晚上八点钟，奶奶说：“中央电视台开始播放春节联欢晚会了，我祝大家兔年交好运，健康又快乐，下面大家一起去看春节联欢晚会。”

今年除夕，我们一家在温馨的气氛中，吃了一顿非常开心的年夜饭。

Dear Miss Zhu,

亲爱的周老师，

How time flies! It has been a few years since I left high school, but I still remember you in my heart, because you’re the best teacher in my mind. It’s not only because you taught me knowledge, but also you taught me how to study. I have really benefitted a lot from you. So I would like to express my great thanks to you, and share my life in college with you.

时间飞逝!我高中毕业已经几年了，但我仍然把你记在我的心里，因为你是我心目中最好的老师。这不仅是因为你教与我知识，而且你还教我如何学习。从你身上我真的获益匪浅。所以我想向你表达我的感谢，并与你分享我的大学生活。

Now I’m studying in Hunan First Normal College, which is Chairman Mao’s former school. I major in English, because I find it so fun and interesting. As far as I’m concerned, our English Department is the best department in our college. The teachers in our department are knowledgeable, experienced, and warm-hearted. And my classmates are nice, friendly and helpful. Thus, I have a good atmosphere to study. When I have difficulties in study, I always ask my teachers for help or discuss with my classmates. Through their help, I have made great progress in my English study.

我现在在湖南第一师范学校学习，这是主席之前呆过的学校。我的专业是英语，因为我觉得它很有趣。我觉得我们英语系是我校最好的学部。我们系的老师知识渊博，经验丰富，热心肠。我的同学们也很和蔼，友好，乐于助人。因此，我拥有一个很好的学习氛围。当我在学习上遇到困难时，我总是向我的老师寻求帮助或与同学讨论。在他们的帮助下，我在英语学习上取得了很大的进步。

College life is much different from high school life. In college, we should acquire knowledge as well as improve our integrated abilities. There are a lot of English classes for us to learn, such as Basic English, Oral English, Listening, Reading, Writing, Translation, Grammar, English Literature, and so on. I enjoy these classes very much. Except English, we have many other subjects to learn. Life seems so busy here but it’s so fruitful for me.

大学生活与高中生活有很大的不同。在大学，我们要获取知识也要提高我们的综合能力。我们要上很多的英语课，比如，基础英语，英语口语，听力阅读，写作，翻译，语法，英语文学等。我非常喜欢这些课。除英语外，我们还要学习很多其他科目。在这里生活是如此的忙碌，但这对我来说是如此丰硕的收获。

After class, I usually go to the English Corner. There I can practice my oral English by talking with foreigners or chatting with my schoolmates. Now, I’m able to communicate with foreigners well. Sometimes I also take part in some social activities. For instance, last weekend I attended an interesting play. As it was my first performance, I felt a little nervous at the beginning. But when I appeared on the stage, I made every audience laugh happily. I was so proud of myself at that moment, because this was my first achievement.

下课后，我经常去英语角。在那里我可以通过与外国人或我的同学聊天来练习我的英语口语。现在我可以很好的和外国人交流了。有时候我也可以参加一些社交活动。例如，上周我参加了一个有趣的表演。因为是我第一次表演，所以一开始的时候我觉得有点紧张。但当我出现在舞台上时，我让每一个观众都开心的笑了。在那一刻，我为我自己感到骄傲，因为这是我的第一个收获。

What about your present life? I hope to hear from you soon.

你目前生活怎么样呢?希望很快能收到你的回信。

At last, I hope everything goes well with you. Please give my best regards to your family.

最后，我希望你一切顺利。请代我向你的家人问好。

Sincerely yours,

Jason

When we are very small, we dream to be the great person in the future, such

as the scientist, the policeman and so on. It is good for the children to own

the big dream, so that they will study hard and fight for their future. But the

fact is that not all the person can become the great person, most people are

doing the ordinary jobs. In my opinion, ordinary is beautiful, too. Though they

are not doing the fine jobs, they find their own place and make a contribution

to the world. Take the cleaner for example. They wake up early and do the

cleaning work. People dare not to do the job because it is so dirty, but the

cleaners decorate the city with their hard work. The cleaners are the ordinary

people while doing the great job.

I had a lovely puppy, and it was all red hair, with a black nose, and I gave it a bell, and it came to you. You must think it was lovely and wanted to hug it.

Inside its nose are around two hundred million smell sensitive cells,forty times more than in humans.Through them the dog’s brain can pick up signals from one molecule of scent in a million.It gives the dog:a completely different picture of the world,based on what it smells,rather than what it sees.

Flowers are irrelevant to a dog.So their scent is meaningless.But food is a serious matter.What to us is an empty plate,is covered with the smell of chicken to a hungry dog.

When I was in the sand, it deliberately ruined the castle that I had just cooked with my brother, but also, there was hard to sand, let my brother cry, but I did not blame it, but my brother did not cry , And then do a re-do. And once again, I lay the paperwork ready to paint, it took me to find the pen, jumped on the table, with it out to play when the feet covered with mud on the paper printed a few "small plum." I came back to see, see the paper on the "masterpiece", guess this must be Tao Tao dry "good", but I did not re-painting, but in the painting plus some twigs, plus a few leaves , A "plum blossom" to complete, and this also have Tao Taos credit it!

It is particularly fun, a play is a few hours, so that people are particularly worried. Let me call, it will not come back. Later, I spent a lot of effort to finally find it.

That sensitive smell unparalleled, was V blood basin mouth is daunting, sharp teeth make it even more powerful. Its strong limbs support a strong body. See it so brave, I give it from the white tiger.

White Tiger Although it looks a bit scary, but actually not the case. Remember that my uncle had just given it to me, it opened his mouth, I can not help but be surprised: good sharp teeth ah!

But after a few days, it is no stranger to me, and began to walk around me every day to the night market, I took it, provoke many curious talk about, some children also followed the white tiger to go, white tiger But gently walked in front of me open, not bite.

No way, I had to rush home again and again; every day after school, it ran out early to meet me, see me back, it put up his forepaws stretched out his tongue, shaking his tail stand downstairs wait for me. Whenever this time, I sorted out its white hair and went home with it.

My lovely white tiger is not big, but eat a lot of things.

But in order not to raise a fat dog, it should eat more vegetables. Every day the nutrition meal, by me to set.

Every child needs to receive education and they spend so much time to learn

knowledge, whether they are like or not. The adults always tell their children

that as they are young and full of energy, so they should learn knowledge and

skills, but most kids dont know the necessity of study. The most important

reason to study is to keep pace with the time. We live in the society that we

need to make connections with others. If we dont get the newest information, we

will be kicked out and have no idea what they are talking about, then isolation

happens. Whats more, when we are equipped with skills, we can make our choices

and take charge of our life. In order to live the comfortable life, we must

study hard and fight for our future.

One possible version:

In recent years, a series of food safety incidents, such as melamine-tainted milk, lean meat powder, the dyed steamed buns, etc, have appeared across our country. As is vividly shown in the picture, the young wife is cooking. She is asking her husband whether he has finished checking the vegetables, and her husband answers that he needs one more step. This cartoon vividly illustrates how worried ordinary people are about food safety situation in China.

Several reasons contribute to this phenomenon. Firstly, people are too concerned about making quick money and short-term success during this period of economic and social transition. Secondly, ineffective supervision is also to blame. Some food inspectors make profits from the fines of illegal companies and therefore are unwilling to shut them down.

I firmly believe that urgent measures must be taken to prevent similar cases from happening again. First of all, the authorities concerned should step up their efforts to ensure food safety and severely punish those who break the Food Safety Law. Meanwhile, we must strengthen education of social morality to make sure that companies shoulder more social responsibilities and take consumers’ interests and health into account. Only in these ways can we set up a sound food safety system.
