我叫夏舜尧，今年八岁，上小学二年级。我有一张圆圆的脸，乌黑的大眼睛，大大的招风耳。我的头发又黑又亮，还有点卷。其实，我很想留长辫子，可是妈妈就是不让我留，我不同意，但也没办法，只好留了个短发。

妈妈告诉我，我的名字很有意义。因为夏朝是中国第一个朝代，尧帝和舜帝是中国最早的最善良的君主，爸爸妈妈给我取这个名字，是希望我将来大有作为。

我在班上是个好学生，每天的作业都能按时完成，做完后也能自己检查。上课时能积极发言，爱帮助同学，所以老师才选我当她的小助手。

My name is Zheng, 9 years old this year, is a small girl, almost 1.4 meters tall, is a medium height, some yellow skin, is a native of Chinese. I was fat, on the big, round face, with two big eyes like grapes, the nose collapsed, and the mouth was small.

My personality is: considerate caring, generous, gentle personality perfectionism, rich imagination, sometimes very lively, with strong tolerance, sensitive love fantasy, not too confident, but dont be sentimental, reject, thought of two minds, very complex. But these are the students comments on me. I think my biggest problem is the love of two minds, take the last math exam for example: I had the score 100 points, because I be negligent, so a path of two minds, wrong, I will deduct 1 points, only 99 points, but I was careless, I think: anyway, I not like the 2 grade exam Eighty-nine points, on the line, I also got 10 points!

This is me. Do you think Im cute?

我叫郑好，今年9岁了，是个小女孩，身高差不多1.4米，是个中等个子，皮肤有些黄，是个地道的中国人。我胖胖的，在那又大又圆的脸上，镶着两颗葡萄似的大眼睛，鼻子是塌塌的，嘴巴小小的。

我的性格特征是:善解人意有同情心，很慷慨，完美主义，想象力丰富，个性温和也有时会很活泼，具超强的包容力，敏感爱幻想，不太有自信，不多愁但善感，三心二意，不善拒绝，思想很复杂。但这些都是同学们对我的评价。我觉得我最大的毛病就是爱三心二意，就拿上次数学考试来说吧:本来我该得满分100分的，就是因为我粗心大意，三心二意，错了那么一小道题，就扣了我1分，只得了99分，可我还是满不在乎的，我想:反正我没像2年级考试时得89分，就行了，我还进步了10分呢!

这就是我了，大家觉得我可爱吗?

未到新校园，我就听人说，江北区的玉带山小学雄壮而美丽，有宽阔的操场，有雄壮的教学楼，有美丽的艺术楼，有设备一流的学生食堂。这次来到新校园，我真正领略了这雄壮、美丽、有趣的校园风光。

未进校门便听见了朗朗的读书声，只见围墙身后有一丝翠绿，啊，原来是小树探出了小脑袋呀!

一踏进校园，就看见一座高大、宏伟的建筑巍然屹立在我们面前，它便是我们的教学大楼。教学大楼的身子上贴满了蛋黄色的磁砖，在阳光的照射下显得金光闪闪，就像一件金色的外衣紧紧裹住了它的身子，十分好看。少数地方装上了大块大块的蓝玻璃在阳光的照射下发出蓝色的亮光，显得分外醒目。

这样看着看着竟然不知不觉地走到了操场上。此时才回过神来的我发现这个操场不仅十分宽阔还格外平坦。只见主席台旁花草林立，在主席台身后是一根闪闪发光的旗杆，在它的头顶上一面鲜艳的五星红旗正阴迎风招展。操场四周整齐的环绕着一些不知名的小树，它们虽然瘦小，但却显得那样苍劲、有力。再看那些小草，当晶莹的露珠从它的叶片上流落时似乎连那露珠也被它给渲染上了一层翠绿色。它们显得是那样的生气勃勃，给整个操场乃至整个校园都平添了几分绿色。

站在操场上向左上方看，一座绚丽多彩的艺术楼就出现在了我的视线之中。我当时大概地测量了一下它的长度与高度，它高约20——25米，长约25——30米。再看它的窗子是轻一色的铝合金滑窗，再看它周围紧紧地环绕着一些花草，流露出一种自然艺术与人类艺术完美结合的情趣。据说，国际儿童画展也将于9月22日(2004年)在这里举行，到那时，将有22个国家和地区的代表及专家都会到这儿呢!

站在操场上向右下方看去，一座华丽的食堂便出现在我们的视野之中。它那大块大块的无色玻璃使它多了几分晶莹剔透，它那蛋黄色的磁砖使它多了几分高贵，它那平坦的水泥台阶使它多了几分朴素，它那一流的设备使它多了几分现代化，它那紧紧地环绕在它四周的小草使它多了几分生气……

啊，美丽的新校园啊!您是一所满载希望的花园，而我们就是一朵朵含苞欲放的花朵，有了您这个温暖的大家庭相信我们一定能茁壮成长!

Children can get lucky money in red paper. People have a good time, holding opera performances, and other celebrations.

Good afternoon， teachers.

I am very glad to be here for this interview. First let me introduce myself. My name is abc， 25 years old. I come from Weifang， a beautiful city of Shandong Province. I graduated from Commercial College in July，2001 and major in finance. Then， I was a teacher in abc， When I was a senior school student，I am interested in thought and began to read a certain classic work of Marxism， especially I finished reading “the florilegium of Mao ZeDong”。 From then on， I have dabbled in more and more theoretical works and accumulated great interests in theory study， especially in Marxism.

I have a dream， a dream of my study. I wish devote my whole life and energy into the development of the Marxism. If I have the opportunity to study in abc University， I‘ll dabble in as much as document about the specialty as possible. If it is possible， I want to get the primary accomplishment in my major， at least， a stable basis.

Personally， for today‘s China， the first task to the development of Marxism is a process of construction. That’s to say， we should understand Marxism mostly from the aspect of construction and development of social society. Only when our socialistic country has a more rapid and balance development than the capitalistic， we can enhance the attractiveness and persuasion of Marxism eventually.

Nowadays, a lot of recreational activities are available for people to release their stress of work or study. Recreational activities have aroused a hot debate in society. When it comes to recreational activities, people’s ideas are not cut from the same cloth.

Abundant recreational activities make people’s life more colorful and people can release their stress with amusement. Also, participating in recreational activities helps promote our competence. However, too much recreational activities will bring problems. For instance, many young students are addicted to online games, which will generate bad effects on their studies and might lead bad consequences.

In my opinion, we should keep a balance between amusement and study or work. Of course, we should join some recreational activities after study, but we need arrange our time properly. Only in this way can recreational activities provide more benefits for us.

我叫杨娇，我是女孩，前额却高，鼻子微微翘起，显得几分灵气。

我身体比较瘦弱，小时候常常生病。因此，爸爸妈妈就什么事都依着我，天长日久渐渐地养成了爱发脾气的坏习惯，稍有一点儿不称心，就对爸爸妈妈发脾气。记得有一次，已经九点多钟了，我做完了作业，就去看电视了，妈妈不让我看，把电视关了。我才不理她那一套呢，又把电视打开了，就这样，妈妈关，我开，来来回回好几次，妈妈终于发火了，大声说：“你真不听话，给我出去。”我听了，瞪了妈妈一眼，推开门就往外跑。最后，还是妈妈把我给拖了回来。你们瞧瞧，那个时候，我的脾气是什么样的啊!

我渐渐地长大了，脾气也好了很多，我还爱上了音乐，成了一个小歌迷。爸爸妈妈给我买了许多儿童歌曲磁带让我学。

我也是个很爱劳动的一个小女孩，每天早上我妈妈起得很早，妈妈就跟我说今天的衣服不要你洗了，但是我起来的时候，看见家里有很多衣服没有洗，我就手痒痒把衣服给洗了。我的奶奶和邻居夸奖我爱劳动，有的邻居说我会做事。

我还有一个缺点，就是当老师要让同学起来回答问题时候，我的心就会怦怦直跳，很久才能平静下来。

朋友们，任性，是我的性格;爱唱歌、爱劳动是我的爱好。你们喜欢我吗?

In life, I have a meticulous care of my father; in the study, I have a strict request for my father; in the game, I have a long father is not long.

My dad has two biggest advantages: one Willing to contribute to the country and not to return; The next generation of learning and life is very concerned about.

Previously, my father built a railway in Turpan, Xinjiang. He is 365 days a year, day and night, hard working, and work eight or nine hours a day. Three meals a day are bread, rarely eat meat and rice, the day is very hard. Sleep at night only five or six hours, the next morning have to get up, eyes full of bloodshot eyes. However, he still refused to give up this glorious work, and later was transferred to do a taxi driver.

My father is not only hard working, but also very strict to me. Once, I have two notes did not do my job, a small partner told me to go out to jump rubber band. I could not bear the temptation of rubber band, jumped up in the yard: "car, Di Di Di, Malan blossom twenty-one ..." When I jump is happy, my father came back from work, they asked: "Yuanyuan , The job did not finish? "I replied:" Immediately, so I jumped to do that two reading notes. "At this time, has always been gentle father suddenly serious, like the eagle caught the chicken as I grabbed the study The I have to do my homework. Until I finished, he stretched his brow. At this time, my father said: "I jumped with you on the bar when you dad or skipping master it!" Then, they jumped up no.

When I am at home, I often help my mother do some housework and my mother says I am a good help, too. My mother is a teacher. She works hard. She is kind. Many people like her. She often teaches me the way of learning well. (If you want to learn English well, here is some of my advice. At first, you must read many articles and know many words. If you meet up with some new words, you can look them up in the dictionary. You should know their meanings, how to read them and spell them. If you keep working hard, you will be successful. Then, you ought to speak English as much as possible. 可省) In any case，remember an old saying; Nothing is impossible in the world if you put your heart into it.

In my spare time, I have many hobbies. I like reading, playing the piano and dance. I am so good at dancing that I have got many awards.

This is me, a lovely pupil in the school, a dear apple of my parents’ eyes, and a little bud of the country. Please remember me, xiaoxiao from No.1Primary School. That’s all, thank you.

I am so glad that I have a chance to introduce my friend Tony and myself.

Tony, a 13- year- old boy, who comes from Canada, studies in Red Star Middle School. The reason why we become friends is that we have a lot in common. As for our appearance, we all have black hair and black eyes. When it comes to our size, he is taller than I. What’s more, he is helpful and independent, while I am more outgoing and hopeful. In addition, I want to thank him for helping with my history.In a word, I’m so happy that I have a friend like Tony. We will be friends forever!

I am a 10 years old boy. Smart and handsome.

I am proud of myself. Because I can get perfect scores in Chinese, math and English. It is not good enough, I am also proud of being an elder brother. That is a Friday evening, my baby brother was crying all the time. My parents were both cooking for dinner. I said to my mum, let me look after this little thing. My mum said, Are you sure you can?  Yes ,believe me I can. I answered. Then mum went to the kitchen. I went towards my baby brother.  Oh baby, dont cry. I will sing a song for you I carried him and sing songs for him. After a while, he was asleep. I was so tired. My parents were happy and praised me a good boy.

This is my first time to look after my baby brother and I feel proud of myself.

I have several friends. Wang Lin is my best friend. He is eleven yearsold. He comes from Beijing.Wang Lin came here three years ago. He came with his parents. His father is an engineer and his mother is a middle school teacher. He has no brothers or sisters. He is the only child of his parents.We are classmates at school, so we see much of each other.He is fond of English and I am good at maths. We always help each other. Both of us have made great progress in our studies.We have made up our minds to study harder and win success in our studies.
