Dear parents and friends,

Happy New Year, everyone! Flicking and waving, we also together with the children through a semester. Thank you all the way!

First, thank you for your strong support!

Every class activity, always have your support. Fun games, Yuan Yuan mother, Geng Zidong mother, Jiang Yutong father and other people to give us a lot of good ideas for activities; When buying a prop hula hoop, Yin hanyis mother left her important work and went around to help, and sent it to the school. Qiu Zichengs mother, in order to buy them for me, sent them to me in person...

In the New Years Day show, in order to let the children perform when the better stage effect, Geng Zihangs mother specially to the beauty salon invited a hairdresser, makeup artist for free for the children dressed; CAI Xinyis mother also left her beauty shop and brought a full set of cosmetics to make up her children. Lin Yuting mother early in the morning for the children to the market to buy all kinds of headdress flower, but not a penny to, zhou li mother and take the initiative to help us to purchase the fan, etc., mother, aunt Liu Jingwen Yin Han Iraq, Chen paid feather zhou li mom and dad, grandma yuan yuan parental help children change clothes, such as clothes, scene is very touching.

The class needs to set up an organization that acts as a bridge between teachers and parents -- the family committee. Hear is to serve for the class, serve for the children, Geng Zihang mother, Lin Tian yu mother, Lin Yuting mother, Du Yixiang mother, Jiang Yutong father, Zhang Lin father, Zhang Wenhao father and other several parents will actively sign up to join the family committee. They began to think of ways to make their children grow up happier. Just after the establishment of the family committee was announced, they held a small meeting under the support of Geng Zihangs mother, to discuss how to divide the labor, how to hold some parent-child activities, how to let parents actively participate in... Because I was too busy to attend the school meeting that day, I did not have time to say to them: Hard!

Second, thank you for your sincere understanding!

So far, when the school, the class encountered things, you are always so sensible. Interesting sports meeting because of the needs of activities, only a few places, you are humble to each other, to participate in, are so active and serious, because you said: we are on behalf of the seven color class of all parents! Its really moving! New Years Day performance, but also only a few parents have the opportunity to enter, you take the initiative to give the opportunity to the paper to participate in the performance of the childrens parents, because you said: "the children go to win honor for the class, the children are the most important, do not let them cold. Cant go to the scene, we can also pay attention to the children! ..." How touching words, parents and friends, you are so great, have the responsibility to take the initiative to take the initiative, have the opportunity but always humble others, you give the children to make the best example, the children feel honored because of you!

Third, thank you for your best cooperation.

Cooperation in educational concepts.

The children of our seven color class are really very clever and lovely, but some take care of themselves ability is poor, some study habit is bad, most children lack self-confidence, part of the childrens study foundation is poor, individual children are particularly capricious... In order to achieve a more comprehensive understanding of the child, when I pointed out the shortcomings of the child, no parents have the idea of favoritism of the childs shortcomings, but very sincerely said: "Teacher Ou, we believe you! Kids have problems before, but we dont know how to guide them. Its in your hands now. Well do whatever you need us to do. The child has obviously changed under your hands, our choice is not wrong, the choice of Borite is the right one! ..." Looking at your trusting eyes and listening to your sincere words, I just want to say, parents, I will do my best to live up to your trust in me.

Cooperation in study.

In order to let the children a weeks study, the habit has been consolidated, in order to let us better understand the performance of the children at home in the school, I will be on every Friday request sent to a group, the parents dont get to the Internet, I will also send text messages to mobile phones, and we are looking forward to receiving information, parents see message reply, this I have learned that facilitate the childs behavior is out on parents or children. Up to now, many parents are able to insist on signing homework for their children, so that their children feel the importance of their parents to him. I also got a better understanding of the reasons for my childs shortcomings from the replies and signatures.

The power of the example of the great, the transmission of positive energy, we need to hand in hand! Most parents do it, and most children do it. Therefore, the change of children is also obvious.

In the habit of cooperation.

All of our children live in a very good environment, which leads to the poor self-care ability of many children. Their desks, bookcases clean up, the classroom will not clean. Instead of spoiling your child, you say, "You came here to train him! If there is anything to do, just arrange him to do it. I remember Changyu Haos mother on the phone often told me: "Ou teacher, small Chang is very strong, there is any work in the class need him to do, you arrange it! If the child misbehaves, you must punish him severely. Our parents will never protect us." Although I am not one to punish children, but to hear such words, how moving. I still remember Chen Shuhangs mother said, "Teacher ou, Book hang is active, you let the class be active, let him clean or do something after class..." There are many parents who love their children very much, but there is no ambiguity in the guidance of habits, they know that "habits determine character, habits achieve life" truth.

Because of your cooperation, children do not do homework almost no! Because of your cooperation, childrens desks, bookcases neat much more! Because of your cooperation, the child knows that rules are more important than relationships and that character is more important than money. Because of your cooperation, the children are less and less bad habits, in exchange for is tolerance, self-confidence, competition, sunshine, happy! I am very happy because of your cooperation, the children colorful childhood more beautiful!

Therefore, I would like to offer my parents and friends the following hope:

First, I hope you will cherish the holiday and spend more time with your children.

Play outdoor sports with your child, read books with your child, collect materials for making Chinese tabloids, and enjoy the Spring Festival with your child.

Secondly, I hope you can read the safety notice carefully and have a peaceful and happy New Year.

Third, I hope you can set a good example for your children.

1. Take your homework and weekends seriously. Please sign it.

2. Please reply when you receive text messages or group messages (not including blessings from teachers). (Note: Since it is impossible to inform every childs school status by phone every week, we publish it in the group. I hope you can check it in your busy schedule.)

3. Keep the same attitude with the teacher, and the transfer of positive energy is beneficial to the growth of children.

4. Help your child develop a sense of "comparing yourself first, then competing with others".

Compare yourself first. Is first to see their own and school when they have progress, there is progress on the hard work, is worth celebrating!

Then compete with others. Everyones basis is different (knowledge, ability, intelligence, psychology, etc., are different, we should first recognize the gap between themselves and others) but because there is a gap, so, we should choose the target to catch up, competition, and should not be blindly complaining. This will only discourage childrens ambition and enterprising initiative!

Fourth, I hope you can tell us the good suggestion, or tell the FAMILY committee.

Thanks again for your understanding, support and cooperation with me, the school and the class! Thank you, respected parents and friends! Because of you, our work is done. Because of you, the children of colorful class have added a stroke of happiness and joy to their childhood life!

Last year, mom took a few taro to come to Changsha, I am not disrelished

delicious, throw it in case of a paper in paper case. This year. Taro sprouted,

say to cannot eat on the book. I and grandfather thought a way. Plant the sweet

potato that sent shoot in flowerpot.

Spent some of time, taro grows tender pages, verdure is dark green, place

on the balcony, extremely lovely, everyday, when I do not have a thing, go up in

the drop in tender leaf a few water, water boils to boil in tender leaf, general

like pearl, extremely interesting.

Listen to a grandfather to say, to the autumn when OK still a lot of taro

darling come to gouge.

Actually, the life has a lot of thing and do not imagine like us so flooey.

Want to agree to think only, evildoing often can become an act of charity.

After the death of Cassim, Ali Baba wanted revenge from those terrible

robbers, and so thought of a plan. When his wife and he finished their porridge,

Ali Baba used his money and bought as much oil as his three mules could carry;

and then disguised himself as the king’s peasant.

When it was the afternoon, Ali Baba tied the jars of oil to his three

mules, and then set off to where the rock is. When the robbers arrived they saw

Ali Baba in the disguise of a peasant, they said, “Dear king’s peasant, we wish

to let you move aside, so that we could get something that could make our

life-a-a-a-better,” “Okay dear boys, but first I want you to have some of this

oil which is fresh made. They are very cheap.”

The robbers argued with Ali Baba until they said, okay, but first you step

aside while we get something in the cave; and then come out to buy some oil;”

then they drove Ali Baba away for about a kilometer away from the rock, and then

went back to get their money. The captain of the robbers said, “Open sesame!”

and the door flew wide open, and then they walked inside. After a short time

they came back, they loaded some wood so as to pretend they went there just to

get wood; and then rode off to where Ali Baba stood staring at them eagerly.

“Okay king’s peasant,” said the captain of the robbers, “We shall drink the

oil in which you requested us to do;” and so Ali Baba gave them each a scoop of

oil to drink, and then went back himself.

The next day he went to where the robbers lived, since oil can make people

dizzy, they probably should wake up very, very late. And so he took with him a

can of white paint, and painted their house door with it; then without a word to

say, he carved, “Put the robbers in jail, they stole some money and pretended

that they were nice!”

After a short time he found the robbers waking up, and then dressing up.

They found out all the people in town were staring at their door, they thought,

“Look Erick! They must think our door is pretty indeed. ”And then all the

robbers went out and waved here and there without even noticing that on their

door was the sign. And so they had to be arrested. After a few minutes when they

opened their eyes, they were in jail. And they had a guard to guard the lock,

and so they couldn’t get the keys and come out.

The robbers were not happy, but they said, “Chill up,” to every other

robber because that they had a sick plan.

Dear Jack,

I am writing to tell you something about the activity Clear Your Plate

Campaign you referred to in your last letter.

The activity of Clear Your Plate Campaign with the purpose of discourage

people from wasting the food.Many people also have no food in the world,so we

must value our life.All of students in our school has take part in the

activity,and the change took place around us.For example,most of us were used to

buy much more than we could eat and even threw the leftovers without a

second.But now,knowing the sighificance of saving thought food after the

campaigh,more and more students are beginning to buy a proper amount of food for

our meals.We should do some actions together,right?

Im looking forward to having your opinions of the campaign.

Yours,

Li Hua

Dear Charlie,

Kindly excuse me for my not being able to see you off at the airport this Saturday as I have promised.

A major business partner of our company will be attending an important conference in Xiamen this weekend, and my boss finally chooses me to accompany him there to negotiate about a new transaction. I have just been informed of this plan and am happy about the decision—this is an opportunity to both display and enhance my abilities, so I am afraid I cannot be present at the airport.

Pursuing study overseas is an essential step in the accomplishment of your dream.

How I wish I could have the chance to share with you my personal feelings and suggestions before you are away! I hereby send you a gift to wish you good luck. Please forgive me.

Cordially,

Li Ming

Last week, the teacher gave us a task. We needed to do homework in group.

At first, I was so afraid of doing the group work, because I got used to do

homework alone. But later I found that I could collect more ideas and created

something new. I liked to do group work and I learned so much.

Which is more important, health or wealth? When given this question, different people have varied answers. Some insist that health plays a more important role in our life, while others see more advantages arising from wealth.

健康和财富，哪个更重要?当这个问题被提出来的时候，不同的人有不同的答案。有些人坚持认为，在我们生活中，健康扮演者更为重要的角色，然而其他人认为健康能带给我们更多利益。

The first group of people quote the old saying "Health is above wealth" to prove their idea. They argue that, on the one hand, a strong person can do almost anything as long as he/she tries hard. On the other hand, however, rich people will not be able to enjoy the wealth if their days are numbered.

支持健康更重要的人引用了一句俗语“健康就是财富”来证明他们的观点(是正确的)。他们认为，在某一方面来说，强壮的人，只要他们肯努力，那他们几乎能做任何事情。可是，从另一方面来说，如果有钱人活着的日子屈指可数的话，那他们将没法享受健康。

In contrast, the advocates of wealth have such arguments as follows. For one thing, wealthy people will be able to buy more healthful foods. For another, they can enjoy better facilities to improve their health. Take my neighbor, Lao Wang, as an example. He had a heart attack and is in hospital. However, he cannot afford the expensive operation, which costs as much as 100,000 yuan. Therefore, he has to lie in bed hopelessly. If he were a rich man, his life could be saved.

相反地，支持财富更为重要的人就有以下的争论。首先，有钱的人能买到更有益健康的食物。其次，他们可以享受能提高健康的设备。举个例子来说，我的邻居老王，他有严重的心脏病，并且正在住院(接受治疗)。可是，他没办法负担高达100，000的手术治疗费.因此，他只能毫无希望地躺在病床上。如果他是一个有钱人，那他就能得到治疗。

As far as I am concerned, both health and wealth are important to our life. We should try to strike a balance between them and gain wealth with a healthy body.

我认为，健康和财富对我们生活都很重要。我们应该努力试着在这两者之间做到平衡，并将财富与健康的身体相伴。

亲爱的英语老师：

一个学期的课程很快就结束了。

幸运的是，我认识了你。每次在路上遇见你，都看你兴奋，健康的，发自内心的微笑。

有一件事情，我想和你说说。就是关于班长的事情。第一次在你的课上，是我五年以来没有张开口说英语的日子。

那天在课上，我竟然连monitor一次都听不明白，是我的愚笨浇灭了你的热情。第二次课上，我们换了班长，你当时问，是不是选举产生的。当时我心情实在不是很好，在以后的日子里，

我也体会到班长在你心里的重要性。在这里，我想向你解释，班长是我主动辞掉的，我希望自己有更多的时间来学习，因为我已经工作三年了，觉得这两年的学习时间是生命中最后一段学生时光了。

面对期末考试，我很紧张，担心自己不及格，整个学期我都在努力学习。下个学期我想把学生工作处的工作辞掉了，让自己专心学习。

在你的课堂上，你教会了我勇敢，让我一个从来都不敢张口说英语的男孩，在你的课上开始试着学习英语口语了。

也是你，让我觉得讲英语并没有想象的那么难。尽管，其实每次课前我都准备好pretenshion的材料，才敢张口说的。

也从中体会到了，凡事预则立，不预则废。

我很喜欢听你讲你在国外看到的或者听到的一些事情，可是时间过得很快。下学期，我准备去旁听英语本科的课程，继续提高自己的英语听说能力。

也希望我们像朋友一样常联系，更希望我有能用英语和你交流关于国外的一些见闻。

最后，祝福你健康，快乐。

Dear baby,

How time flies, three years of junior high school has come a nearly five 6, more want to let time stop, so we can each other with some more, but this is impossible, time will pass, you will grow big, Im lucky from September 1, 2012 to June 26, 2014, are there your company in the period of time, whether your scores are good or medium or some unsatisfactory, teachers believe that the future you will be able to harvest your own future.

Baby, we together of the time, because the teacher sometimes bad temper, also because of the high expectations of teachers for you, to you hair temper, sometimes may say bad words, perhaps you still dont understand to the teacher at the time, but I believe that our heart is always close to each other, because you are the teacher heart the good child. Thank you for your understanding of the teacher!

Baby, every time together time is so unforgettable, forget my birthday when the song full of affection "father", and a full face of cream; I cant forget singing all the way to Beijing, and singing with shame on the platform after school; Forget when running total also cant run, and turn a neat pace. The teachers happy memories haunt me little by little.

Maybe you are not very expressive sometimes, but you can read your trust in your teacher from your attentive eyes. If youre having a hard time academically and youre not doing well academically, remember that "nothing will make me give up" is enough! If you are not outstanding enough, than insufficient, than the next surplus, the teacher gave you such a sentence: "try your best, miracle will be created by you." If your study is better, the teacher also send you a sentence: "the day will be down on the man also, must first suffer its spirit, labor its bones and muscles, starve its body skin, empty its body, line brush its work". These wise words of Mencius have quite a warning and encouraging effect to everyone. As excellent students in study, you carry more pressure than others, from parents and friends, from teachers and classmates, more from themselves, you have a strong self-control, quick thinking, strong will, positive and aspirant, have higher requirements for themselves, the results in the class is also good. But I would like to remind you that there are people outside the mountain. Many students are making use of holidays to improve their knowledge structure and comprehensive quality in order to keep improving. Strive hard, in order to be invincible in the exam war, come out on top. There is a good saying "you are not outstanding is not terrible, terrible is outstanding people more diligent than you!"

Baby, 2021 in our look forward, will be here soon, this year I is very important for you, perhaps you already had enough, maybe you have some hesitation, in fact, no matter how your past, these are not important, it is important for the rest of the 180 days, what should we do, I always believe that a pay a harvest, I also believe that you are can bear children, you are willing to pay a child, in June 2014, will make you satisfied!

Finally, the teacher wants to give you said: the child you will always be the teachers care, for your anxiety, worry about you, for your progress and very happy, but also for your slack and worried. Once, you put so trust in my eyes. Today, tomorrow, I will use all of their own knowledge, love and responsibility to protect your growth. Some people say that food is the most beautiful when you are hungry, health is the most beautiful when you are sick, friends are the most beautiful when you are helpless, and teachers are the most beautiful when you are confused. The teachers heart will always be open to you, a little lamp of hope for you. I am willing to fight together with you, riding horses to whip, sail to the other shore of victory!

Always love your friend: Liu Berkelium

Dear Mike,

Your letter and package reached me yesterday. You really give me a great surprise. I was wondering what was in such a nice package until I carefully opened it and found that you sent me an attractive present for my birthday. Thank you very much for your kindness, and I like the present, which will give me pleasure for a long time to come.

Again it is thoughtful of you to send me the present on my birthday. Yesterday evening my colleagues held a birthday party for me, including John Liu---I think you can remember---a nice tall boy, who invited you and I to his birthday last October. We enjoyed ourselves, and all of us mentioned your stay with us. We hope that you will come to China soon, if possible.

Please accept my sincere thanks and best wishes.

Yours,

Peter Wang

Dear Jim,

Last Sunday my classmates and I went to Xiangshan Park.

We met at 7 oclock at the school gate. The weather in Beijing that day was

great. At around 8 oclock, we arrived at Xiangshan Park. There is a high tree

on the bottom of the hill. We had a party and played games under the tree. Then

we climbed to the top of Xiangshan Mountain. It was not very difficult for us to

do it. Next, we had lunch at the top of the hill. It was delicious. After lunch,

we saw some birds. They were friendly. And we saw a whole picture of Beijing.

"What a beautiful city!" I said. At that moment, we all felt so proud. I live in

Beijing now. The 2008 Olympic games was held here.

I hope you can visit to Beijing in the future and I am sure you’ll like

here.

Best wishes.

Sincerely yours,

Li Ming

Dear Mary,

Thanks for your last letter. Im so glad that you have been able (at last!

) to arrange a holiday in Australia. As I fear I wont be able to meet you at

the airport when you arrive, nor will I be able to be home until later in the

afternoon, so here are some instructions and suggestions. There is a bus from

the airport to the city. It is much cheaper than a cab. Take the bus to the city

and ask to get off at Town Hall railway station. To get to my place in the

eastern suburbs you have three options. You can either take a cab, a bus or the

train. I suggest you take the train, since the airport bus will leave you right

at the station. Get off at Cliff Station. From there you can either walk to my

place (about ten minutes) or take a taxi. Probably you should take a taxi as you

will have luggage.

When you arrive at my flat, ring the intercom for Flat 2. My friend Lillian

will be at home and she will open the front door for you and let you into my

flat. Presumably you will be tired and want to sleep. But if you feel like some

exercise after that long flight, you could stroll down to Cooper Park, which is

only ten minutes away ? you can see it from the window. Cheers and looking

forward to seeing you.

Yours sincerely,

Annie

P.S. I will leave something for breakfast in the fridge. Help yourself to

anything you want.

Dear Mike,

This Saturday is my birthday and my parents will hold a simple celebrating

party for me. I am glad to invite you to come to the party. Blair, Emma and Roan

will also be invited. I am sure we will have a good time. We will have dinner at

18:30 so that you are wished to come at 18:15. My mother is a good cook and you

will enjoy the dishes. After the dinner, we will play some small games and then

eat the cake. My parents and I sincerely expect you to come and hope to see you

then.

True yours,

Daniel

I have a big family. There are four people in my family： my mother， my

brother and I go to the same school. On weekday， my father sends us to school;

family.

thirty college students across the country attended the tenth 21st century

cup national english speaking contest in beijing on april 10. eventually， xia

peng， from nanjing university was named the champion. the second and third

places went to zhang jing， a sophomore from china foreign affairs university，

and zhang a xu， from hong kong polytechnic university， respectively. more than

1000 college students in beijing are lucky birds to listen to the speeches on

the spot in friendship hotel.

just make to it the finals， they had to get past 60 others speaking on “the

impact of globalization on traditional chinese values”。 that was at the

semi-final on april 8-9. what will chinese college students think about the

impact? each contestant had his own take on the subject. xia summed up

globalization by saying： “it’s just controversial and hard to say whether it is

good or bad.” xia took the old wall of his city， nanjing， as a metaphor. he

spoke about the conflict over whether to protect the old walls or tear them down

to represent the conflict of ideas. he suggested that people protect the wall as

a valuable relic while tearing down the “intangible walls” of their minds that

prevent communication. while some other students are more focusing on the impact

of globalization on family relations， attitudes towards love， and

job-hunting.

over the past 10 years， the national english speakingcompetition has given

contestants a chance to speak on a variety of topics closely related to their

lives. chinese students become more open-minded and receive various ideas and

thinking over the decade. diversity becomes more obvious on campus， students

have more opportunities to express and show themselves. it’s not an easy task

for the contestants to win through the fierce competition. owning to their

passion， hard work and persistence， they finally succeeded in the contest.

liu xin， the first champion of the national contest， is now an anchorperson

of cctv-9. recalling the passion of study on campus， she said： “when you want to

express your idea by a foreign language without finding a right way， you’re

really upset. then you have to encourage yourself， and after a long term of

bitterness， suddenly you find you get the right way with joy.” with the champion

title in 21st century cup， liu attended the international public speaking

competition in london in may 1996 afterward and got the first prize

historically.

the winner in _ surprised the audience， since she came from accounting

major instead of english major. gu qiubei， then 22 years old， was a senior in

shanghai foreign studies university. while being asked whether she had some good

methods to learn english， she said： “learn english with passion and enthusiasm.”

attracted by the greatness of english language， gu even changed her major from

accounting to english in her postgraduate study. the most important issue in

english learning process she pointed out is personal interests. only people

interested in english benefit a lot from the learning methods and those with

passion will finally achieve their dreams.
