My name is Simon. Im 24 years old now. Im from Changsha University. I

major in English, because I have the gift for language study.

In my opinion, English is well-known all around the world. If I can speak

excellent English, I could travel to everywhere in the world without language

barriers. Now I can speak English like an American. Most of my classmates always

envy my oral English.

I like traveling very much. Through traveling, I can widen my perspective

and know more about our world. Now I have been to so many cities, such as

Guangzhou, Zhuhai, and Zhongshan. These cities are nice, clean and modern.

I think Im easy-going and hard-working. When Im at work, I always try my

best to do everything well. I never let others do anything that I can do, and I

never put off todays work to tomorrow. When you have difficulties, I’m eager to

give you a hand if Im able to. I hope I can be your best friend.

Do you know about holidays? We like holidays. Parents and children enjoy holidays. Children receive many gifts from their parents. Parents also receive gifts from their good children.

Holidays are about happiness! Holidays are about a lot of food and drinks! Holidays are about families! Holidays are about beautiful clothes! Holidays are about music and dance! Holidays are about fireworks! Holidays are fun!

People look very happy. They go to restaurants and eat good meals. We see beautiful lights on the streets. We hear holiday music everywhere. We like holidays very much!

As is known to us all, teachers play an important role in our process of

growing up. As far as I am concerned, an ideal teacher should be responsible,

impartial and wise.

First of all, a qualified teacher should be responsible. For one thing, he

should try his best to make his class interesting and try to understand what his

students need. For another, he needs to keep enthusiastic with his job of spread

knowledge all the time and act as an example for others everywhere he goes

to.

Second, be impartial is another requirement. As a teacher, he should not

divide students into good ones and bad ones since each student has unique

characteristic and value. Therefore, no matter what kind of students he

encounters, he should treat them impartially, without any bias.

Finally, my ideal teacher is one who does not only teach students his

specialized knowledge but also can give students some guidance about life and

about how to act as human beings. This guidance has a great effect on students’

outlook on life and sense of worth.

To sum up, an ideal teacher should not only pay attention to the

achievements his students get, but also put emphasis on developing students’

correct views on life and sense of worth.

知识的大门，是为勤奋学习的人敞开的。一个人只有明确了学习目标，百折不挠，心无旁骛，才能取得学习上的成功。

我们班就有一位品学兼优的同学，下课时，他经常拿起奥数书，看得津津有味。有一次，我遇到了一道数学难题，就去请教他：“打扰一下!你能教我一道题吗?”他并没有回答，只是摇摇头，我就想，咦!他可真奇怪，怎么不理我呢?慢慢地，他完全进入了奥数题的求解之中。他眉头紧皱，脸上布满了阴云。他的眼睛眨呀眨的，泪水在眼眶中打转，好像随时要落下来。终于，他忍不住叹息起来，又掏出纸巾，轻轻擦拭眼镜，嘴里轻声嘀咕着：“我终于知道了……”然后他在本子上刷刷地写着。

这时候，有几个同学走过来，看着他，他却根本不知道，还是自顾自地沉浸在解题中。老师也走过来，轻轻地拍了拍他的肩膀，关心地问：“你没事吧?”

这时他才如梦初醒，惊讶地环顾四周，总算意识到了自己的失态。“哦，没事，我太投入了。”他不好意思地说。“没事，接着写吧!”老师并没有埋怨他的意思。他低下头来，又写了起来。不一会儿，他喜笑颜开：“你们快看，解出来啦!”

他这样地投入，才时不时地蹦出了灵感，最终取得了骄人的成绩。

我们若想取得成功，就必须从现在开始的投入地学习。生命不息，奋斗不止，拥有了全神贯注的品质，成功的就离我们不远了。

My teacher has a pair of jiongjiongweishen eyes, rosy lips and a head of black hair. Talk very friendly, I love her.

我的老师有一双炯炯有神的大眼睛，红润的嘴唇和一头乌黑的头发。说话十分亲切，我特别喜欢她。

我的老师很关爱我们，有一次我生病了，烧的很厉害，我觉的很头晕，倒在了地上，妈妈立即把我送到了医院，等我醒来后，发现老师和妈妈都在我的身边，我问妈妈老师怎么来得，妈妈说：“你晕倒后老师就来了”，从那以后，老师天天来看我，还给我补习功课，我认真的听，老师讲的可好了，她还给我出了几个题，我全都作对了，老师说：“一定要加紧学习，早日康复，同学们都等着你回去呢。”

谢谢你我的老师，我一定会好好学习，用好成绩来回报您。

绿，一种生命的颜色;美，一种无法用语言来描述的色彩;生，一种到处充满的活泼。这就是漂亮的天使——春风送来的。

徐徐的春风把我带到了一个人间仙境——公园。两扇古铜色的大门显得庄重文雅，门旁有两头大狮子威武镇静地坐着，好像日夜守卫着公园。

刚跨进大门，一阵阵沁人心脾的花香扑鼻而来，展现在我眼前的是一个长方形大花坛。花坛里长着有刺的玫瑰枝上出现了红色的花蕾，有些都要绽开了。还有太阳花，开得更鲜艳，有的粉红，有的朱红，还有的金黄色，花瓣周围镶着红的边儿，像点点繁星，竞相开放。蜜蜂嗡嗡地飞来采蜜，蝴蝶拖着长裙在花坛里舞蹈。花坛边柳条儿随风飘动，犹如一位美女在梳理飘逸的头发;又如朝气蓬勃的少年手执彩带，翩翩起舞。

我们沿着羊肠小道拾级而上，来到了望景楼，举目眺望，楼南檐角飞翔，好像振翅欲飞的燕雀。楼西是一池荷塘，荷叶碧绿碧绿的，层层叠叠地倒伏着。看着这些荷叶，我好像看见不久的将来，粉红的荷花临风飘举，对每一位顾客都报以热情的微笑。楼东是硕大的草坪，冬末，半黄半绿的细草更像一块毛茸茸的地毯。楼北是一个清澈见底的石鹤池。池里的仙鹤千姿百态，栩栩如生：有的要展翅欲飞，有的在低头戏水，有的像在引吭高歌，有的则在回头遥望，轻轻梳理着自己洁白的羽毛。

在石鹤池的右边，有两条披着金装的石龙，张大着嘴，挥舞前爪，好像在争夺中间的龙珠。这大概就是所谓的双龙戏珠吧!

啊，故乡的公园，您是故乡的一颗灿烂明珠，您像一幅绚丽多姿的图画，正描绘着祖国美好的明天!

Dear Sir,

I am working on a new project which is called A Survey of New Industry in the Maywood District. According to the design of our district, we need information about firms that have recently moved into this area. Your firm is one of the largest of these, so I shall be very grateful if you can spare the time to help me.

Three points are specially important to the project. The first one is the training schemes for school leavers. The second one is about the transport arrangements to overcome poor road and rail links in this district. The third is the plans for expansion.

Any other information will be useful, but those points are the ones with which I most need your help.

I am enclosing an information form for you to fill in. I hope you can post it to us as soon as possible. I apologize for adding to your work with this request, but I do hope that you will feel able to assist me.

I would be most grateful for your favorable consideration of this request.

Yours faithfully,

Mary Spencer

地球是我们人类的家园，也是人类的母亲。我们依赖它，探索它。这个蔚蓝色的星球多么美丽，但我们要知道：地球只有一个! Earth is our human home and a human mother.We depend on it and explore it.How beautiful this azure planet is, but we need to know: There is only one earth!

遗憾的是，许多人对于这个浅显易懂的道理却视而不见，继续为所欲为，妄顾地球家园的安危。环境科学家曲格平曾经说过这样一句话：“唯有变革，才能拯救人类的命运，也唯有变革，才能使我们的子孙后代世世代代生存下去。”里面的“变革”就是指环保。说得很对，所以如今有许多人拿着标语在街上喊空口号，却没有见过多的行动。难道这样污染就会好转吗?不!

看，我们城市里的河流的河水发黑发臭;排成长龙的汽车放出大量的废气;成片的绿地变成“石屎森林”;那清脆的鸟叫声消失得无影无踪。如果再这样下去，中国将继续贫乏水资源，空气将变得愈来愈浑浊，本世纪将有10%的鸟类物种消失。上述的事情，我们人类是罪魁祸首!

人人皆知：树木能吸收二氧化碳，排放氧气，净化空气，是我们人类生存的必要的条件。但是有一些人为了金钱去乱砍滥伐树木，造成了过度的水土流失，使大地的植被受到严重的破坏，绿洲和城市也荒漠化，我们人类的生存受到了威胁。就我们平时用的一次性筷子，每天都要耗费数十亩的森林，在那些人眼中，树木除了可以做家具和建筑材料外，似乎没有任何价值。

难道还有人不懂树木对我们意味着什么吗我们居住面积已经很小了，如果再这样下去，可能连我们的土地都失去。还有，我们的母亲河——黄河近年来河床和含沙量不断增高，成为全国污染最严重的几条江河之一。我们不能眼睁睁地看着黄河从我们手中枯竭，因而有许多环境学者纷纷研究治理黄河污染的方案，试图改善黄河的水质。但如果没有我们的共同参与，我们这个生命的摇篮——黄河将会走向衰竭和死亡。

如果我们再肆无忌惮地破坏环境，大自然将会给予我们惩罚。那些特大的洪水剥夺了不知多少人的性命，还有由于温室效应,南极北极的冰川融化导致水平面升高,海水淹没了沿海地区，经济损失惨重。难道这不是的证明吗?

我的家乡广宁是靠竹海生态旅游来发展经济的，而今，某些竹林的环境恶乱不堪，让人叫苦不迭。竹海生态游是我们广宁发展的根，如果根被破坏了，怎能长出茂盛的枝叶、开出美丽的花儿呢

让我们善待人类、善待自然吧!不知大家是否看过《保护环境可做的100件事》这篇文章。其实，我们能做的事很多很多。如，在植树节栽一盆花、种一棵树;保护野生动物，是生态得到平衡;珍惜水资源，不要向江河倾倒垃圾;当环保小卫士，利用每个绿色纪念日宣传环保意识，让青山常在、绿水长流、泥土永芬芳……这都是我们力所能及的事情，我们为何不愿意实践呢?

现在，地球的生态环境加剧恶化，环保警世钟已经敲响了。让我们齐齐加入保护环境的行列，创立一个人与大自然和谐共处的美好未来，让人类与自然生生不息地繁衍下去吧!

I love my school so much, because of the beautiful environment. The first

day I walk into the school, I am very impressed by the green trees and the

colorful flowers. It seems that I just walk into a park and get lost in the

green world. The trees and flowers make me feel so comfortable, and my heart

feel the peace.

今天，我来给大家推荐一个好地方—张家界。那里不仅有美丽的风景，还有好多好玩的地方呢!

张家界真美呀!我最喜欢的就是连绵起伏的群山了。远看，一座座山峰直达云霄，顶上还有丝丝缕缕的雾气，好似给大山戴上了一顶帽子。走近一看，高山好像创造了天地的巨人—盘古，屹立在天边，支撑着天地。有的山面对面，好像久违的朋友突然相遇了。山是那么多，一座接着一座，一座有一座的特点。有的像两只打架的猛虎，有的像蟠桃大会，有的像摩天大楼……十分壮观!

张家界不但风景美，还特别好玩。你瞧!湖里不但能划船，还能打水仗呢!要说打水仗，那可是我最拿手的了。我们穿上救生衣登上皮划艇，四面望去，两岸景色优美，就像一幅美丽的山水画。可我哪有心情看风景呀，光想着怎么和“敌人”打仗了。很快，爸爸发现了敌情，于是我赶紧拿出水枪，用力吸足了水。发射出去，顿时水花四溅，犹如一朵朵盛开的白莲。伴随着一阵欢呼，“敌人”就被我们浇成了“落汤鸡”。我们放声大笑，他们也不甘示弱，开始对我们发起反攻，我们左躲右闪也没能逃脱。结果我们也变成了“落汤鸡”，连妈妈的伞都被打骨折了。唉，真是损失惨重啊，哈哈哈!

这就是我推荐的地方，你肯定也会爱上这里的。

桃花源是一个美丽、有趣的地方。

当我第一次去桃花源的时候，刚走进桃花源的大门，我就看见了一个大水池，水池间有一座人像，在水池的尽头，就有一个人工小瀑布。

进了大门后，又有一个小门，走进小门后就会觉得这是一个世外桃源，当然，它不仅美丽，还是有点乐趣的，进了小门就是两条不一样的路：一条是石头加水泥做的楼梯的路。，一条是只有水泥做的楼梯的路，如果走石头水泥楼梯的路的话，那你走上一个台阶就可以看见一片竹林，再往前走就可以看见一口浅井，井里有一只石头乌龟，剩下的就是一些金鱼和青苔了。如果走水泥楼梯的那条路的话以上台阶，就会发现这条路和普通爬山的路差不多，不过得远一些就是一片明亮了，还有一些桃树野花和山草。

如果两条路都走到了尽头，那么有一条路是通往吊桥一条路，是通往游乐公园的，通往吊桥的那条路再往里走也是游乐公园，可以说是同一条路了。

说起吊桥，我好像想起了，我第一次去吊桥，那时我和黄京哥哥一起走的吊桥，哥哥恐高，可我不恐高，当我走上吊桥第一步，我觉得自己悬起来了，后来我的心一直在跳，过了好一会儿我稳定下来了，可突然有一些人在用力地摇吊桥，我又怕了，可是并没有发生什么事，我睁开眼睛看我没有掉下去，于是我克服了恐惧，我走到了吊桥的最外面，手拉着绳子往下看，我突然觉得这是一幅非常漂亮的图画，真是天下奇观，桥下有一条小溪小溪旁边有草呀，有野花啊，有向日葵呀等等，真的美极了，而且你看看上面的花可以看到几座山，又能听到鸟叫，真是棒极了。

啊，我非常喜欢桃花源，我也非常喜欢桃花园里的每一个地方，我也推荐你们去走走哟。

春节回家，吃团圆饭是必不可少的，也是中国的传统习惯。

每年回家过年，就快大年三十了，亲戚朋友都放下手中的事，从各地赶回来就是为了和全家团聚，见一见自己一年没见到的父母还有亲朋好友。

到了大年三十的这一天，也是我家最忙的一天，一大早，我们都早早的起来了，因为我们要为吃团圆饭做准备。外公外婆负责做饭，他们从早上一起来就开始忙碌着，洗菜，切菜，配菜，烧菜，烧鱼，煲汤……忙得不亦乐乎，虽然他们很累，但是脸上却挂满了笑容，因为他们看见了自己的儿孙回来了，再累也不怕。爷爷和爸爸也不闲着，他们两个在打扫卫生，他们今天干活真的很卖力，地上连一根头发也不放过。妈妈也在干活，妈妈在擦冰箱，橱柜，茶几……忙得妈妈汗流浃背，正好我没事就去帮妈妈一起干活。

一眨眼，到下午五点了，饭菜都已经做好了，我们一家人都上桌吃饭了，许多亲戚朋友都来了，叔叔，阿姨，舅舅，舅妈……哇!今天的饭菜真风声啊!我的两眼直发光，我像一只饿狼，贪婪地吃着，大人们在喝酒，还时不时的干杯，说一些祝福的话语，比如：恭喜发财，羊年吉祥，羊眉吐气，羊羊得意……妈妈也让我跟别人干杯，我也要祝福别人，啊!今天的腊肉炒豆芽好吃，鸡汤泡炒米也非常好吃……不知不觉的，我狼吞虎咽地吃了好多，肚子胀胀的，过了两个小时，大家都吃好了，有的坐在沙发上聊天，喝茶，也有的再看春节联欢晚会，总之每个人都很开心，都有说不完的话语。

团圆饭，我看到每个人的脸上都挂满笑容，因为大家都见到了自己的家人，像现在有些人，过年自己宁愿出去玩也不愿意回家吃这顿团圆饭，所以回家过年是我们这些做晚辈的必须做到的，所以我们回家过年老人们都很开心。

There are four people in my family， my father， my mother， my sister and me. My father likes reading. My mother likes cooking. They both work in Leliu. They always go to work by car. They work hard.

My sister and I are pupils. I study in the primary school affiliated with Shunde No.1 Middle School. My hobby is collecting coins. My sister studies in Xishan Primary School. She likes watching TV. We love our family very much.

有一位伟人，她在世上几乎无人知晓，但她却永远活在我心里;有一位老师，她只有一个学生，她将十年的心血全部注入了这个学生——我身上，那就是您——母亲。

那是在三年级上半学期时，我因为期中考试成绩不太好而被您训斥了一番，居然还说：“看看你考的这个成绩，说出去真是家丑外扬丢死人，真不知道你这几年都学了些什么，就给我考这点成绩，以后我再也不管你了，你自己爱干啥就干啥去吧!别再给我丢人现眼!”从那以后的一个月您真的什么也不管我，连平时帮我洗衣服、整理书包、收拾书桌、辅导学习都不帮助我了，更不与我说话。每到这个时候，我只好自己努力学着去照猫画虎，可总也做不好，比如洗衣服时我经常会把一些掉色的衣服和浅颜色的衣服放在一起洗，洗出许多花衣服;整理书包会经常忘记带本子、作业、书和铅笔盒;做作业时由于很多题不会做，只好空下来问爸爸，但爸爸因为工作繁忙，几乎没有时间给予我答案，就算讲，也只讲一遍，有时我还没听懂，他便说有事还要做便走了，幸亏有外婆来辅导我，我的学习才没有退步。但因为这些，我常常在夜里回想起您批评我的话语，便偷偷哭泣。于是我自己暗暗下决心，我现在一定要努力学习，努力做好自己的事情，让您不要小看我。慢慢的，我发现自己的事情已经可以做得很好了：衣服洗得很干净，房间整理的干干净净，不再丟三落四，更重要的是学会了自己学习。

有一天下午放学，我刚进家门，您便笑吟吟的迎上来说:“我的好儿子，你可回来了，看来我这招激将法效果不错，通过一个月的训练，你已经能够自立了.，所以，今天我们庆祝一下吧!”说着抱起了我，顿时，我的眼睛湿润了，说：“妈妈，谢谢您!”

这十年，母亲您对我的爱犹如浩瀚的天宇，我永远也报答不完，所以，我现在一定会努力学习，长大以后好好报答您的养育之恩。

暑假里有很多同学都很开心，可是有些同学可能会和我一样觉得“哎!暑假又到了，又要上很多辅导班，还要写很多作业，如果遇到有些不会的题就空在那里等着爸爸妈妈去解决。”我带着这种想法几乎度过了去年整个暑假。

暑假的头几天，我的心情非常愉快，满脑子想的就是玩，不知不觉中度过了十几天，在妈妈督促下，我玩的心情有所收敛，当坐在写字台边看到厚厚暑假作业，心里十分烦闷，心想这么多的作业什么时候才能写完呢?当我翻看暑假作业时，我突然发现暑假作业后几页有标准答案，我的聪明才智发挥的极致，我悄悄地把答案裁掉藏了起来，每天爸爸妈妈去上班时我一上午就能写十页八页，到了下午就可以看看电视，玩玩电脑。可是好景不长，这件事还是让妈妈发现了，结果我的标准答案也被没收了，我心想，你们暑假给我报那么多辅导班，还让人玩不玩了，既然把答案没收那么凡是动脑筋的题全部留给你们来做，带着这种想法又度过了一个来月。有一次，爸爸问我一道很简单题我说不会，爸爸狠狠地批评了我一顿，我心里十分委屈，就把真实的想法告诉了他，爸爸把妈妈喊来和我促心长谈了一番，他们说：“如果暑假里你嫌辅导班多，可以告诉我们，我们可以少报一些辅导班。但是，对待学习的态度决不能敷衍了事。”后来，他们给我减去了一些辅导班，帮我制定了学习计划，通过运用这个学习计划，我发现，学习、做作业效率挺高，而且玩的时间也挺多。

通过这件事，我认识到自己的错误，也学会了与爸爸妈妈的沟通，今年的暑假又快到了，我准备制定个学习计划，快快乐乐度过这个假期。

My winter holiday is very dull. I stay at home for most of time. sometimes I visit my friends and play basketball with them. sometimes we go shopping.

One day, we go to the kfc. We have hamburgers, chicken coke and french fries. We have sore throats. We go home and have a rest. then we feel better. We go and play computer games! how mad we are!

This is the only thing i can talk about in the holiday.
