Dear Susan,

I am sorry to hear that you have decided not to go to college. I am writing

to trying to persuade you not to do that. The reasons are as follows.

First, education has a long-lasting influence on our future. No one can

ignore the fact that well-educated people usually perform better in their career

and enjoy a better life. Second, we all meet certain difficulties in our lives

and what we should do is take up the challenges and trying to overcome them.

Third, you can apply for a student loan or take part-time jobs to earn some

money. Of course I will trying my best to help you too.

In short, I hope you can accept the offer from that college.

Yours,

Li Hua

Zhang Dong is my best friend. He entered our class last semester. He is a

boy. Both of us are good at English, so we often have a chat in English in our

spare time. After school, we often play football together on the playground. He

runs so fast that I can not catch up with him. He is an excellent student. He

not only gets good marks in all subjects but also is very kind and modest. He

loves popular songs and also classical music.

There are three people in his family and he is the only child. His father

is a doctor and his mother is a Beijing Opera actress. Though Zhang Dongs

family is wealthy, he is usually simply dressed. He has a dream which is to be a

lawyer.

Such is my friend, a clever and kind boy. He is highly praised by the

teachers and students.

My hometown is Guiyang, a small city in Southwest China, surrounded by

rolling green mountains. A river runs through it, with locust trees lining along

both banks. In Spring the locust trees all blossom at the same time, spreading

the delicate fragrance all around the city. In Summer there will be little boats

floating on the river, the laughter of children resonating with the sound of the

running water.

I was born and grew up in the city, and Im very affectionate to it. It

rains a lot, but the climate is very mild, neither too cold nor too hot

throughout the year. It is small and not very prosperous, but people there are

warm-hearted and straightforward. The life pace there is slow and peaceful. Its

a good place for spending hot summer days.

That is my hometown. I love her deeply from the bottom of my heart.

My mother has a pair of keen eyes which can speak. Whenever I encounter difficulties， her eyes will encourage me and help me cheer up. When I began learning to walk， mother always lent me a hand and encouraged me to stand up while I fell down.

我的母亲有一双敏锐的、会说话的眼睛。每当我遇到困难的时候，她的眼睛总是鼓励我，帮我振作起来。在我开始学走路时，母亲总是帮助我，鼓励我站起来，我摔倒了。

As I finally threw myself into her arms， her eyes Smiled with praise. Aftei I entered the school， mothers eyes still encouraged me.

最后我晃晃悠悠扑到她的怀里，她的双眼充满了赞扬。我长大上学后，母亲的眼睛仍旧鼓励我。

Once I failed my Chinese exam， my mother helped me find out the reasons instead of blaming me. Now I have grown up and become more independent， but whenever I come across setbacks， my mothers eyes are always with me encouraging me wherever I go.

一旦我语文考试不及格，妈妈帮我找出原因而责备我。现在我已经长大了，变得更加独立，但每当我遇到挫折时，母亲的眼睛总是伴随着我，给我鼓励。

In the growth, there are always some lingering worries. As the ancients said: "people have sensitized, yuan, there are rain or shine." Why do peoples lifetime will not be smooth? I am no exception! Growth has given me endless happiness, but also bring many troubles to me from time to time: for growth, I with the feelings of a kind of desire, but somewhat bored.

The first: much homework. Though the teacher is decorated very little, but mother is three times of assignment, let me test the mountain every day. Go home at night, the first thing is to do my homework, then chew my everybody.

The second: less time. Can also play at school, at home, in addition to eat, when they dont have time to play the other time was spent on learning.

Third: friends less. Grow up, boys play with boys, girls like girls to play, if the boy and the girl talk, everyone else will be so good friends less, "enemy" had more.

Fourth: the demand is high. When I was a child, live carefree, free. Now, as the fifth grade students I have grown up, not as a child, do things to be careful, focused, after all, I have grown up. The carefree days are far...

Growth, although gave me a lot of trouble, but also bring me much happiness. At the same time, also because of the growing pains, I know a lot of, also aware of the many, many... Happiness and troubles can be compared them into a piece of a piece of paving stone, they are connect the leak, the road to success!

在成长中，总有些挥之不去的烦恼。就如古人说的：“人有悲欢离合，月有阴晴圆缺。”人的一辈子为什么不会一帆风顺呢?我也不例外啊!成长给了我无穷的快乐，但也不时给我带来不少的烦恼：对于成长，我带着一种渴望的心情，但又有些厌烦。

第一：作业多了。虽然老师布置得很少，但妈妈却布置了3倍的作业，让我每天都啃书山。晚上回家，第一件事是做作业，接着就是啃我的书山了。

第二：时间少了。在学校里还可以玩，到了家，除了吃饭时就没时间玩了，其他时间都花在学习上。

第三：朋友少了。长大了，男生跟男生玩，女生就跟女生玩，要是男生跟女生玩就会被人议论，所以好朋友少了，“仇人”却多了。

第四：要求高了。当我还是小孩时，生活得无忧无虑，自由自在的。可现在，身为小学五年级学生的我已经长大了，不在是小孩了，做起事来要小心翼翼，思前想后，毕竟我已经长大了。无忧无虑的日子已经远了……

成长，虽然给了我不少烦恼，但也为我带来了不少快乐。同时，也因为这些成长的烦恼，令我懂得了许多，也意识到了许多许多……快乐与烦恼就可以把它们比喻成一块一块的铺路石，它们毫无漏缝的连接着，通向成功的路!

Mother, it is we are thankful people was born. Who is how many years, every day in the laundry to cook for us, who are both in sorching summer, or in the snow after send us to school, and hurried off to work, who is lets us grow from day to day in her arms, and she is getting old, who has raised us, but I do not wish for any return. Is mother! Life, some people are looking for a mothers love, but dont ignore the ubiquity of maternal love!

Remember the night I was only five years old, it was raining, I have a fever, my father on a business trip is not at home, mother picked up I will go to the hospital, my mother in the hospital a night didnt sleep a wink, eyes staring at the bottle of intravenous drip, until my fever is gone, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then my mother again give me water, and to buy me a delicious. Looked at his mother busy figure, I secretly in my heart swear: must study hard repay mother.

Another time, just learning English month, I had to 81 points, the bottom of the class. In the face of such scores, I would be ready to get training, returned home after mother knew, not only not scold me, comfort me, dont lose heart, and now the English course at the beginning, as long as you listen more from now on, read more, write more, practice more. Performance will improve soon. Mother said. This time is I overlooked your English study, later I accompany you a piece of learning. This situation really than scold me, hit me also makes me uncomfortable. From then on, no matter how busy mom, always "nutrition" for me, everything comes to him who waits, the mid-term exam, I achieved good scores of 95 points.

Mother, you have to use solid arms hold up a piece of blue sky for me, when I am frustrated fall, is the care you with infinite comfort me, encouraged me, so I can stand up again. Today, I will use my growing plump wings for you -- -- my mother from the rain.

母亲，是我们一出生都值得感恩的人。多少个岁月，是谁每天起早贪黑的为我们洗衣做饭，是谁无论在炎炎夏日，还是在冰天雪地送我们上学之后，又匆匆赶去上班，是谁让我们在她的臂弯一天天成长，而她却一天天变老，是谁养育了我们，却不求任何的回报。是母亲!生活中，有些人在寻找着母爱，却不忽略了无处不在的母爱!

记得5岁那年的一天晚上，天下着雨，我发烧了，父亲出差不在家，母亲抱起我就去医院，在医院里妈妈一宿没合眼，两眼一直盯着瓶子里的点滴，直到我的发烧退了，妈妈才长舒了一口气。接着妈妈又是给我喂水，又是给我买好吃的。看着妈妈忙碌的身影，我暗暗在心里发誓：一定要努力学习报答妈妈。

还有一次，刚学英语月考时，我只得了81分，全班倒数几名。面对这样的分数，我做好了挨训的准备，回到家妈妈知道后，不但没有训我，反而安慰我，不要灰心，现在英语这门课刚开始，只要你从现在开始多听，多读，多写，多练习。成绩会提高很快。妈妈还说。这段时间是我忽略了你的英语学习，以后我陪你一块学。这情景真比骂我，打我还令我难受。从那以后，妈妈不管多忙，总是为我“补充营养”，功夫不负有心人，期中考试时，我取得了95分的好成绩。

母亲，您曾用坚实的臂弯为我撑起一片蓝天，当我受到挫折跌倒时，是您用无限的关怀安慰我，鼓励我，使我能重新站起来。而今，我也要用我日益丰满的羽翼为您————我的妈妈遮风挡雨。

导语：有句老话是时间等于金钱。但时间真的一定等于金钱吗?以下是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的英语作文，欢迎阅读与借鉴，谢谢!

As a popular saying goes, Time is money. But does time definitely mean money? I dont think so. First of all, time is more precious than money. When money is spent, you can earn it back if you want to. However,when time is gone, it will never come back. To some extent, time is priceless. Second, not all time can be turned into money in the end. Some persons are idling all the time. Their time is just for wasting, not for earning money. They will end in nothing at last. So be sure to remember that time can be turned into money only with hard work involved in it.

【翻译】

时间未必等于金钱 有句老话是时间等于金钱。但时间真的一定等于金钱吗?未必。首先时间比金钱宝贵。金钱花完还可以再挣，而时间如果浪费了就一去不复返了。因此某种程度上，时间是无价的。其次，并不是所有的时间都能变为金钱。有些人整日游手好闲，他们的时间是用来浪费的，而不是用来挣钱的，最终将一无所得。因此务必要记住，只有努力工作，时间才能等于金钱。

The fifteenth day of the first arrived, my family and I go to the

lantern.

Can be busy in the street, people mountain people sea. At seven o clock is

very to, start with fireworks, "bang..." Voice rings, the fireworks are green,

red, yellow, purple, colorful, colorful. Look, a "super-sized" fireworks fly the

sky, and then with a roar, and fireworks sprayed out of the little one was full

of the sky, sometimes like a bauhinia, sometimes like a chrysanthemum. Some

township, bine... "Bang! Bang" rang again, and some bread with a small bee in

fireworks, after the blast, emit the light of fireflies. The colorful decorated

enveloped the entire lijin county. See gold waterfall flows down, every gold

falls and shiny golden flowers covered with earth. As the tang dynasty poet li

bai have cloud: "plunges three thousand feet, suspected galaxy nine days."

In my early years, I did not see the value of education.

When I was going on thirteen, I started to run my own shop. From then on, I worked hard to become a successful businessman.

One day I realized the importance of the English language in the business world and started taking night classes.

I was able to communicate well with foreign customers after two years of English study. But I started to feel that, in the long run, having a limited knowledge of English was not enough to make my business successful. I knew that only a well- rounded education could guarantee my success in the future.

When I was eighteen, I had to make a decision to continue doing business or go back to school. There was one obstacle keeping me from getting an advanced education. I had only completed elementary school up to that point. I then went back to senior high school after four months of tutoring in different subjects. Being at school for the first time after so many years was somewhat embarrassing because my classmates were at least two or three years younger than I. I concluded that my age did not matter. The important thing was getting into college.

I took the College Entrance Exams. Although my math exam result was only one point below the required score. I never gave up hope. The following year, I took it again and received the highest score in my city. Achieving such an amazing result gave me encouragement and courage necessary to continue my education to the next step.

I am now in my second year of college and know that it is never too late to learn. My passion for studying and improving myself will never come to a halt as long as I continue to live.

“Live and Learn.” is the motto I have adopted. I believe with an education I will succeed. So, if you are wondering whether education is important, don’t hesitate a moment to step up and seize the opportunity.

Christmas Day-December 25-which celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ, the founder of the Christian religion, is the biggest and best-loved holiday in the Christian World.

According to the Bible, the holy book of Christians, God decided to allow his only son, Jesus Christ, to be born to a human mother and live on earth so that people could understand God better and learn to love God and each other more. "Christmas"- meaning "celebration of Christ "- honors the time when Jesus was born to a young Jewish woman Mary.

Mary was engaged to be married to Joseph, a carpenter, but before they came together, she was found to be with child. Because Joseph, her husband, was a righteous man and did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly.

But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins."

Although the exact date of the birth of Jesus nearly 2,000 years ago is not known, the calendar on the supposed date divides all time into B.C. (Before Christ )and A.D. ( a Latin phrase, Anno Domini, "in the year of our Lord.") For the first 300 years, Jesus birthday was celebrated on different dates. Finally, in the year 354, church leaders chose December 25 as his birthday.

I grew up in a small village. I am the second child of the family, and my sister is the eldest. Our house is on the main street of the village so I always saw a lot of people on the streets There were farmers, fishermen, and a few merchants in the village. My sister and I used to play with the next-door children; their father is an elementary school teacher. Sometimes when we played together in the house we made so much noise that my mother wanted us to play outside, so we went to the seashore to look for crabs and clams, and pretty seashells, too. Also, we enjoyed running on the beach chasing each other. On breezy days we used to enjoy flying kites on the beach. When I look back on my early life in the village, I feel I had a happy childhood.

Every year, when the winner of Nobel Prize in literature comes out, we will

wonder why the winner is always belonging to foreigners. Though we are proud of

our brilliant culture, we always miss this important award. Actually, Chinese

literature is also famous around the world. The four great works like Journey to

the West and A Dream in Red Mansions are known by the world. Every child in

China has learn them and they even watch the TV series. The old literature Mater

Sun’s Art of War is popular around foreigners. They are crazy about it and hope

to learn some skills to help them run business. There is no doubt that Chinese

literature has great influence on the world. It is the national treasure, and we

can probe into the history and appreciate the charm.

I have a dream today.

I have a dream that one day every vally shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.

Wow, what a dream it has been for Martin Luther King. But the changing world seems telling me that people gradually get their dreams lost somehow in the process of growing up, and sometimes I personally find myself saying goodbye unconsciously to those distant childhood dreams.

However, we meed dreams. They nourish our spirit; they represent possibility even when we are dragged down by reality. They keep us going. Most successful people are dreamers as well as ordinary people who are not afraid to think big and dare to be great. When we were little kids, we all dreamed of doing something big and splashy, something significant. Now what we need to do is to maintain them, refresh them and turn them into reality. However, the toughest part is that we often have no ideas how to translate these dreams into actions. Well, just start with concrete objectives and stick to it. Don’t let the nameless fear confuse the eye and confound our strong belief of future. Through our talents, through our wits, through our endurance and through our creativity, we will make it.

Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly. Hold fast to dreams, for when dreams go, life is a barren field frozen with snow. So my dear friends, think of your old and maybe dead dreams. Whatever it is, pick it up and make it alive from today.

Grew up, understand more and more, I love reading, watching every day, a day watching less all not line, become a real bookworms. To this end, I still made a joke! Remember once, my mother let me boil water, boiling water, I picked up a book, taste with relish to read the contents, get carried away. As a result, the kettle was burnt out, full of smoke. At this time, the mother saw it, he asked me what happened. When I return to god." Oh, no! Wheres my water? "This picture to see me, mother helplessly sigh: alas! You little bookworm! How many times have I told you..."

Although I because reading by mistake, but I still love reading. Because from the book, I learned many knowledge,ve learned a lot, know many friends: the ugly duckling, the happy prince, the Monkey King, lu xun, bing xin, Edison... Reading is to improve my writing level by a lot!

人的爱好多种多样，有新奇绝妙的，有平淡无奇。我的爱好虽不新奇，但广泛得连父母都时常感叹。而在这众多的爱好之中，我还是对读书情有独钟。

爱看书还得从七年前说起。那是贪玩的我并不怎么爱看书，但有一次，从玩具堆中发现了一本被翻开的书。好奇心促使我看了下去。一下子，我马上被书中那精美的插图与那精彩的内容给吸引了。而且一发不可收拾，从此，我就爱上了读书。

长大后，懂事的我越来越爱看书了，每天都要看，少看一天都不行，成了一个不折不扣的“小书虫″。为此，我还闹出了笑话呢!记得有一次，妈妈让我烧水，烧水时，我便拿起一本书，津津有味地品读书中的精彩内容，看得忘乎所以。结果，水壶被烧坏了，搞得满屋子烟。这时，妈妈看见了，就问我怎么回事。我这时才回过神来。“糟糕!我的水呢?”妈妈见我这副模样，无可奈何地唉声叹气：唉!你这个小书虫!我提醒过你多少次了……’’

虽然我因为看书误了事,但我仍然爱读书.因为从书中,我学会了许多知识,悟出了许多道理,认识许多朋友：丑小鸭、快乐王子、孙悟空、鲁迅、冰心、爱迪生……读书还使我的作文水平提高了不少呢!

现在,书成了我每天必需的营养品,生活中没有书,就好像鸟儿没有翅膀，生命没有书,就好像生活没有阳光,书是人类进步的阶梯，书是知识的源泉!

我爱读书,因为读书使我的生活丰富多彩，使我的生命充满阳光!

This sentence will become one of my motto, while I was reading, but the work is at hand, so Im going to shop for your own life, a road to success.

拿起一本书，读到里面的句子，有几句我还满喜欢，满留恋的。

如：树的方向，由风决定;人的方向，自己决定。所以，我一定要——以今日之我，胜昨日之我;以明日之我，胜今日之我!

不错，命运是掌握在自己手中，只有自己能去主宰它。

同时，珍惜好每一天的一分一秒，不要让自己觉得过得不充实，也不要毫无目标的生存着，这是我所感受到的，也在时刻的自我提醒。

读到了丁远峙着的《方与圆》中的内容，有一句是这么写的：人生成功的金钥匙就是相信自己，勇敢行动，对人生、事业怀有无比的热忱，如果你把握了这三把金钥匙，那么成功之路就展现在你眼前……

这一句话将成为我的座右铭之一，虽然我还在读书，但距离工作已是近在咫尺了，所以我要努力，为自己的人生铺一条成功的道路。

there are gains for all our losses,

there are balms for all our pain;

but when youth, the dream, departs

it takes something from our hearts,

and it never comes again.

we are stronger, and are better,

under manhood’s sterner reign;

still we feel that something sweet

followed youth, with flying feet,

and will never come again.

something beautiful is vanished,

and we sigh for it in vain;

we behold it everywhere,

on the earth, and in the air,

but it never comes again!

The Chong Yang Festival is celebrated on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, and it is as such known as the Double Ninth Festival.

Climbing mountains: On the Double Ninth Festival, people customarily climb mountains, appreciate chrysanthemum flowers, drink chrysanthemum wine, and eat double-ninth cakes. The Double Ninth Festival is also the Old Men Festival. Old people are especially meant to improve their health by taking part in the activities on the day of the festival.

Origins: The festival began as early as the Warring States Period (475 - 221 BC). According to the yin/yang dichotomy that forms a basis to the Chinese world view, yin represents the elements of darkness and yang represents life and brightness. The number nine is regarded as yang. The ninth day of the ninth month is a double yang day, hence the name Chong Yang Festival. (Chong means repeat in Chinese.) The ninth month also heralds the approach of winter. It is a time when the living need warm clothing, and filial Chinese sons and daughters extended this to make the festival a time for providing winter clothes for their ancestors. The Double Ninth Festival, therefore, also became an occasion to visit the graves of dead family members. Clothes made of paper would then be burnt as offerings.

Family get-togethers: The Double Ninth Festival is also a time for family get-togethers. It is an occasion to remember one‘s ancestors, the sacrifices they made and the hardships they underwent. Often, family outings are organised during which people search to renew their appreciation of nature and to reaffirm their love and concern for family members and close friends.
