Hi! Peter,

I’m glad to know you are having a good time in Chengdu.

TheSpring Festival is the most important festival in China. It is a custom to give lucky money to children. I get lucky money every year. I will put most of it in the bank, and spend the rest on some books. This year is no exception(也不例外) and I also got lucky money.With it, I bought some school things for several poor students in Ningxia，hoping the things can bring some happiness to them.

For you, I think it’s a good idea to buy a gift with the lucky money for your hostfamily before you leave China. You can also buy some Chinese gifts for your parents and friends in England. Or, just keep it as good memories.

I hope what I said can help you.

Yours,

Li Hua

My father bought a computer as a birthday present for me last year. It

becomes my best friend in my room. Id like to play on the computer as soon as I

get home. At weekends, I often play games on line with my friends. Ive made a

lot of friends on the Intenet. But my eyesight becomes poorer and poorer, and I

am not able to finish my homework on time. Its terrible that my father will

remove the computer. From now on, I should pay more attention to my study.

The teacher set up the summer homework. Good guy, that damned language

teacher actually call us to the 4th grade the old poem famous quote to copy 8

times! By this time, the roof of the classroom was "overturned". The students

were Shouting at each other. I myself comfort myself: nothing, dont copy 8

times, the big deal I make quick, still do not change plan.

Another day after that, my classmate xiao sheng called me to study

taekwondo with her. After the family discussed, I decided to let me go to

school. Then the cousin called again and said, "hello, yueyue, stay for a few

days during the summer vacation! I will teach you to draw pictures, by the way!"

"Really? Thats great! I must come!" By this time, I had forgotten to plan and

threw it out of the clouds.

When I look at the schedule, I have found that I am completely filled with

the schedule and time is not enough. How to do? Only a little bit of time... But

in comparison, none of them are free. That how to do? Can only be changed. What

better? Well, I only had a three-hour nap to learn taekwondo... That way, my

summer vacation will be "ample". What a bad summer!

When I go to school, my teachers teach me a lot of knowledge and show me

the way to explore the world. I admire my teachers so much, so I have made up my

mind to be a teacher when I grow up. It is always my dream. I must work hard to

realize my dream. From now on, I need to make the plan.

My Home Town

My home town is a beautiful place. It stands beside a wide river and is rich in fish and rice.

But in the old days it was a poor and backward little town. Many people had no work. They lived a hard life.

In 1949 my hometown was liberated. Since then great changes have taken place there. The streets have been widened. Factories， schools， hospitals， cinemas and theatres have sprung up one after another. The life of the people is greatly improved.

I love my hometown. All the more I love its people. They are working hard so as to make it still richer and more beautiful.

We all wish (hope) to be happy, so we should take good care of our health.

Health is the best treasure (which) a man can possess. Money can do many things, but it cannot buy happiness. However, so long as man has good health, he can enjoy the pleasures of human life.

In order to insure good health we must pay attention to three things. They are-nourishing food, fresh air and proper exercise.

我们大家都希望快乐，所以我们应该好好保重健康。一个病人因为失去健康而很少快乐。

健康是一个人所能拥有最好的财富。钱能做许多事情，但是它却不能购买。然而，只要一个人有良好的健康，他就能享受人生的乐趣。

为了保证良好的健康，我们必须注意三件事情。它们是营养食物，新鲜空气和正当运动。

一年一度的国庆节来临了。在这个假期，我想玩七天七夜电脑，看一晚上电视，吃满汉全席.......但我最想做的就是去看表弟。他有着一副帅气的脸，中间蕴藏着霸气的性格;黑溜溜的眼睛，鼻子比桥还高;官耳朵;大眼睛，长眉毛，月牙儿嘴......这些明星相我表弟都有。

我非常喜欢我表弟，因为他很可爱，机灵，是只小猴子。有一次，我在他家做客，晚上睡在了那儿，刚一关灯睡觉，他就拔了我一根头发，气得我火冒三丈，一脚把表弟踹哭了;睡觉了，屋子里黑漆漆，静悄悄的，表弟手一抓，一连拔了我七根头发。早上一起来，我去照镜子，不看不知道，一看吓一跳，本人几乎快秃顶了，再望望表弟，还真让俺有点哭笑不得。

金无足赤，人无完人，我表弟也有美中不足的地方，那就是爱哭!他睡觉哭，吃饭哭，骑车哭，打球哭，你完完全全能喊他哭虫。昨天，小姨在叠被子，表弟以冲刺的速度跑向床边，开口向妈妈嚷嚷道：“我想和表姐在床上玩，小姨不紧不慢地说："你感冒了，要去打针针，下午再和小表姐玩，好不好?乖儿子!"“不嘛不嘛。”表弟用撒娇的语气向小姨请求道，“我要现在就和表姐玩!”你这孩子怎么这么不懂事。”她动怒了，一个耳光扑过去，瞪着眼睛说：“给我滚下去!”表弟见状，便怎么也不吭声了。你说烦人不烦人?

可惜时间不等人，一步一回头，恋恋不舍地告别了这温馨的家园。

我喜欢的小动物，最喜欢的小动物要数我家的那条小黑狗了。

我家的小黑狗可逗人喜欢啦!一身黑亮亮的绒毛，眼睛上面有两个白点，颇像两颗白色珠子。头上和大腿上的毛很长，像马鬓一样拖到地面。直楞楞的耳朵，好象时刻在倾听着周围有什么动静。又粗又长的扫帚尾巴不时摇摆着，像一个免费清洁工呢!更逗人的是它总翘着潮湿的鼻子向着我，像一个生病的孩子，看起来似乎很可怜，其实，我知道它很想和我玩。在向我发出邀请呢!

小黑狗的性情很温顺，很通人性。我和它相处久了，产生了感情，它好像很理解我。每当我生气的时候，它就静静地蹲在我身边一动也不动，似乎想陪我度过那难过的时间;我高兴的时候，它就会围着我跑来跑去，“汪汪汪”地叫着，很讨人喜欢。

小狗的经历危险也有几次。第一次是掉进了河里，幸好被人发现拉了上来，喂给它吃药，不久就好了。还有几次是被毒狗的人毒了几次，幸好也被及早治疗，才得脱险了。从那以后，它就能嗅出那些食物有毒，哪些食物无毒。后来，我家的狗再也没中过毒。它够机灵吧!

我喜欢我家的小狗。我希望它永远伴随我左右，陪我快乐成长!

球球全身毛白如雪，铜铃大眼，鼻子滑漉漉的，尾巴短短的，远看就像一个小茸球。

它特别喜欢睡觉。有一次，我去洗澡，它在客厅东走走，西逛逛，实在无聊了便走到床头柜下，抻了个懒腰，肚皮朝上，悠然自得的躺在地上。小脑袋向左面歪着，两只小爪紧紧的抱在一起，很陶醉的闭上眼睛睡着了。等我洗完澡，正想找它玩的时候，看到它已经呼呼大睡了。

Li Xiaohu spent too much time playing computer games and he fell behind others. As a good/close friend of his, I must do something to help him.

First, I think it’s very important for him to learn lessons well. He should spend most of his time on his study instead of computer games. Secondly, I must tell him that playing computer games too much is bad for his health, especially for his eyes. So he must give it up. I can play more sports with him after school.

When doing the same thing, some people success but some fail. There must be many factors leading that result. In my view, the most important factor is the difference of confidence, determination and sociability are the foundation and condition of success.

做同样的事情，有些人成功，有些人失败。肯定有许多因素导致这样的结果。在我看来，最重要的因素是人的信心，决心的差异以及社交能力是成功的基础和条件。

First of all, no matter who want to success, they must have confidence, as confidence is the basic need for success. If someone always thinks he can’t do this or that well, then he can’t finish it well. For example, when a person is being interviewed, if he doesn’t believe he can do that job well, how can he act believable, so how can the interviewers trust his ability? Therefore, the interview is obviously a failure. However, if a person is confident, he can receive the opportunity to prepare for every challenge easily, which makes success become closer.

首先，无论谁想要成功，就必须有信心，因为信心是成功的基本条件。如果有人总是认为他不能把这个或那个做好，他肯定不能做好它。例如，当一个人在面试的时候，如果他不相信自己能做好这个工作，他如何能表现得自信，那么如何能使面试官相信他的能力呢？所以，那样的面试肯定是失败的。但是，如果一个人是有自信的，他可以轻易的迎接每一次挑战的机会，这也会使成功更加接近。

In addition, confidence just the door for success, if someone wants to get into the house of success, determination is necessary. The determined meet difficulties always overcome it and insist to the end. On the other hand, if someone is not determined, he would give up when facing difficulty. For instance, when doing homework, the person who is not determined always can’t finish perfectly and even copy from others when he thinks that homework is hard to finish. However, the person who is determined always can finish it well, because he know what he really wants and he is able to carry on.

此外，信心只是成功之门，如果想取得成功，决心是必须的。有决心的人遇到困难总能克服它，并坚持到最后。另一方面，如果一个没有决心的人，遇到困难时他会放弃。例如，做作业的时候，没有决心的人总是无法很好的完成作业甚至如果他觉得作业难以完成就会抄袭别人的。但是，有决心的人总是能很好地完成作业，因为他知道他真正想要的，并且能坚持下去。

The last but not least is that no one can do anything well by themselves, so they need help. At that time, sociable is helpful. It is well-known that success is hard to reach. Therefore, people need others to help them. A sociable person can get help easily, as he has so many friends. On the other side, a person is not good at communication, when he gets in trouble, maybe no one helps him. So we can see the importance of sociability to success.

最后但并非最不重要的是，没有人可以靠自己做好所有的事情，所以他们需要帮助。这个时候，社交是很有帮助的。众所周知，成功是很难取得的。因此，人们需要他人的帮助。一个善于交际的人可以轻易的得到帮助，因为他有很多朋友。另一方面，一个不善于社交的人，当他遇到麻烦时，也许没有人会帮助他。所以我们可以看到社交对于成功的重要性。

In a word, there maybe not only confidence, determination, and sociability are essential to success, but I think they are the most important ones, for they are the foundation and condition of success.

总之，可能不仅仅信心，决心，和社交能力是成功的关键，但我认为它们是最重要的，因为他们是成功的基础和条件。

Fake product is so harmful, though the government has taken some action to ban it, still people sold it, it is the temptation of profit that makes people sold it. What if their relatives have bought the products, so in order to keep people healthy, fake products should be banned.

“山寨”是用来表达伪劣产品的新代言词，人们使用它来表达高仿产品，一些生产商生产山寨产品以此来获取巨大的利润，但是这对于顾客来讲是不公平的，他们花费了这么多的钱，只为了买到真的产品而不是假的产品。伪劣产品不仅欺骗了人们的钱，而且给人们带来了危害。比如药，如果人们买到伪劣的，一旦服用，就会感到不舒服，生病，最严重的情形就是因此失去生命。伪劣产品是如此的有害，虽然政府已经采取了一些措施来禁止售卖，但是仍然有人兜售，他们是抵挡不住金钱的诱惑。如果他们的亲戚买了这些产品，会怎样呢，因此为了人们的健康，不要再卖伪劣产品了。

Since I go to middle school, I stay away from home and live in school from Monday to Friday.

The first time for me to leave home made me felt so lonely. I did not have friends here and no one to count on. But I told myself that I needed to try to be independent. So I solved all the problems by myself, I washed my own clothes and cleaned the bed, which were done by my mother before.

I found that I could take care of myself without my parents’ help. What’s more, I made good friends here, we had the same interest and we helped each other in study. A year passed, I learned a lot and became independent.

自从我上中学,我就远离家,住在学校，从星期一到星期五。第一次离开家让我感到如此孤独。在这里我没有朋友,也没有人可以依靠。但我告诉自己,我需要试着去独立。所以我自己解决了所有的问题,我自己洗衣服，整理床铺,在之前是我母亲为我做这些。我发现我能照顾自己，即使没有父母的帮助。更重要的是,我交到了好朋友,我们有同样的兴趣，互相帮助学习。一年过去了,我学到了很多，变得独立。

We take a holiday of 7 days because of the National Day.As we all

know，October 1 is the National Day of China in Gregorian calendar.

In the holiday I went to visit the Yellow River Forest Park togeter with

three of my classmates.It was very boring when staying in the bus for a long

time，which made me doze off all the time，and at some time，I nearly struck my

head on the chair in the front of me.After two hours journery by bus，we finally

got to the park.But to my disappoint，there was nothing interesting here，except

some quiet normal things. Compared with the my school I stayed in，here was very

noisy and messy.

Though the park is beside the Yellow River，the air is still a little smelly

because there are a lot of animals such as horses，cocks and so on here，which

make lots of wastes every day while few people clean them. In a word，the park is

not so good as I had expected，and I felt unsatisfied about it.

1. Today is very hot; I just have to stay at home all day. I watched TV after finishing my homework. The program was called animal planet. It was wonderful. It was about the beautiful nature and animals on the earth.

I enjoyed very much and learned a lot from it. I also ate water melon, which was great.

2. Today is hotter. I wanted to stay at home, but my father told me to do some exercises. He asked me to go shopping. I bought some food and drinks, and some vegetables. My mother praised me. I was hot and sweaty, but I was happy then.

3. Today is rainy. I went out with my friends. We went to the shopping mall, restaurant, and cinema. It was an exciting and amazing day. I bought many things I like, had a good meal and nice talk with my friends, and enjoyed a very interesting movie.

4. Today is hot again. My father is free. I asked him if we could go swimming, and he agreed. We went to the swimming pool. There were many people. I like swimming, though I am not very good at it. My father taught me a lot. He is very kind and patient. We enjoyed there very much. It is really a fruitful day.

5.Today is cloudy, but still very hot. I stayed at home, finished my home work and watched a movie, which is called illusionist. It is difficult to understand at the beginning, but I got to know it and enjoyed later then. It is a story happened in the 19th century in Europe, which is about love, trick and ambition among a magician, his lover in his childhood and the lover’s husband. You could only know it at the very end of the story.

6. Today is sunny and hot. I do nothing but surf on the internet, chatting with my friends, playing computer games and listening to the music. It is boring somehow. However, I found some nice music. I like pop music, folk song, rock music and light music. I downloaded them to my MP3 and enjoyed it when I resting on the bed.

7. Today I went out with my friends because it is not so hot. We went shopping, chat together, and had nice drinks and creams. Summer holiday is long, but the happy time is always short and memorable.

8. Today I went to see my grandparents with my mother. They are healthy and kind. We had a wonderful meal there. They usually do exercise in the early morning and have a walk after dinner. I should do more exercises, which is good to my health. Maybe I should lose some weight.

9. Today I only played cards and chess on the internet. I won a lot, which made me very happy. Internet is very useful and enjoyable. People could connect to each other by it, though I thought people communicate to each other less than before in reality. A coin has two sides.

10. Today I started to read a book called “The pride and the prejudice”, which is a famous novel. It is very interesting. It is delightful that the two couples get married as their wishes at last. However, it is difficult for me to describe the details to you. I think you should read it by yourself.

Dear Mike,

How are you? Im really glad that you are interested in traditional Chinese

festivals. There are many traditional festivals in China, such as Spring

Festival, Mid-Autumn Day and so on. Id like to introduce the Spring Festival to

you. Spring Festival is the most important traditional holiday in China. It

usually lasts for 15 days.

Days before the festival, people clean their houses. They think cleaning

sweeps any bad luck. They decorate their houses with paper cuts. On the eve of

the festival, family members get together and have big meals. Then they watch

the Spring Festival Gala on TV. At midnight, they set off fireworks to welcome

the New Year. During the festival, kids get lucky money from old people. People

visit their relatives and friends. They wish each a happy year and good luck.

How happy we are.

Best wishes!

Yours,

Liu Wei
