Though I was born in an ordinary family, I live the happy life. My parents

will stand by my side when I meet trouble, especially my mother. She will cook a

lot of delicious food, so I am so excited to come back home from school. I know

my mother has prepared great food for me. What a great happiness for me.

Wide sea diving, the days of the birds to fly. Everyone carries a dream of

their own.

However, what is the dream? What is dream? Dream is looking forward to, and

the dream is strong - is fleeting dream you insist on the ideal as their courage

and perseverance, are you responsible for their own highest level. But ask

yourself, how many of us to accomplish his original dream in mind?

Our dream is a simple belief, is a future and life of their own

responsibility. Perhaps, is the Youth

grand ambitions; perhaps, is the adolescent confusion and impulsive; maybe

just a plain desire, desire applause, eager for success. Countless "may,"

innumerable "hope" because of our youthful full of miracles, large and small

dreams in our hearts, in every corner of life filled with fragrance.

Only the ideal but no effort is useless. If you want to be a teacher, you

should to study hard. If you want to be a player, you should do more exercises.

If you want to become a businessman, he should learn to get along with people.

For example, my wish is to be a famous writer grew up, because I really love

writing, so from now on, I should read more, more accumulate knowledge, and

strive to improve writing level. No pains, no gains, because my efforts, so my

article was punished in many newspapers , and in many composition contest, I see

the success Im happy, so, struggle is the bridge to the ideal.

Yes, my dream. to give my famliy a warm, give my friend happy. Yes, my

dream. The podium from the first station began his love this place, started from

the first published an article looking forward to the world of words, decided to

stay here from the beginning, stick to bottom of my heart desire.

Years in our faces no matter how many additional traces, no matter how much

things to us across the chest wounds, as long as we have the right to breathe,

to have a passion for remodeling dreams! Oxygen to survive as long as we have to

have the courage to create a passion!

Choose to continue, select the value, select the achievements of the

passion of life, the brave hearts of the initial dream of success!

海阔凭鱼跃，天高任鸟飞。每个人都怀揣着一个属于自己的梦想。

然而，什么是梦?什么又是梦想?梦是期待，而梦想是坚强--是你把飘渺的梦坚持作为自己理想的勇气和执著，是你对自己负责的最高境界。但扪心自问，我们有多少人能够成就自己心中最初的梦想?

我们的梦想，是一个简单的信念，是一份对自己未来与生命的责任。也许，是二十岁的豪情壮志;也许，是青春期的迷茫与冲动;也许只是一份平淡的渴望，渴望掌声，渴望成功。无数的“可能”，无数的“希望”，因为我们的青春岁月充满奇迹，我们心中大大小小的梦，在生活的每一个角落里芬芳弥漫。

是的，我的梦想。一份从一而终的守望--给我的学生希望，给我的读者温暖，给我的爱人幸福。是的，我的梦想。从第一次站上讲台开始迷恋这个地方，从第一次发表文章开始憧憬文字世界，从决定留在这里开始，坚守心底的渴望。

无论岁月在我们脸上增添了多少痕迹，无论世事在我们胸口划过多少到伤痕，只要我们还有呼吸的权利，就拥有重塑梦想的激情!只要我们还有生存的氧气，就拥有缔造激情的勇气!

落红不是无情物，化作春泥更护花。选择坚持，选择珍惜，选择成就生命的激情，勇敢的成就心中最初的梦想!

Dear Mr. Cao

Hello!

Today, I would like to recommend to you a picture book of traditional

Chinese festivals, Spring Festival.

Spring Festival is the most grand, the most lively and the most important

ancient traditional festival in China. Every Spring Festival, we paste couplets,

red window decorations, and "pour" blessing. But why should the word "Fu" be

pasted upside down? It turns out that the word "Dao" and "Dao" are homophonic,

and vice versa is Fu "Dao". Its like "Fu" is home.

During the Spring Festival, we should not only paste couplets, red window

decorations and "pour" happiness, but also set off firecrackers and fireworks,

and wear red clothes. After reading this book, I realized that there was a

monster called Nian in ancient China. It went to the village to eat cattle,

sheep, chickens, pigs and people every year. Until one year, an old grandfather

who came to the village to beg lived in his wifes house when the villagers went

to avoid animals in the cave. When the "Nian" beast came, he set off

firecrackers in the yard and came out wearing a big red robe. In this way,

"Nian" beast was scared away. Since then, people have pasted couplets, red

window decorations and "Daofu" on their doors. They also set off firecrackers

and fireworks, and put on red clothes. If you are interested, dont read this

book.

Then there is the new years money. Every year on the eve of the Spring

Festival, adults give children lucky money. The original purpose of lucky money

is to suppress evil and expel evil spirits. Because people think that children

are vulnerable to the invasion of ghosts and insects, they use new years money

to drive away evil spirits and help children celebrate the new year safely. I

wish the children good health, good luck and peace in the new year. There is

also an old legend. This legend has something to do with a little demon called

"Sui". You will know after reading this book.

In a word, after reading this book, I gained a lot and also felt the spirit

of Chinese traditional culture. So I want to share with you, hope you will like

it!

wish

Happy new year and good health!

It said: "ok, you come to me." Bounded, flew into the volcano, my back

schoolbag, look down, wow! So high! The following is really beautiful! I was

flattered to appreciate beauty, at this time, the ear spread "get up, going to

be late." Mothers voice. Oh! The original is a dream!

Dear President,

I’m a second year student of your university writing to tell you about my

humble opinions of the learning environment in our school.

Although we’re enjoying the modernized buildings equipped with advanced

computers sufficient lights and well-installed desks and chairs we do find it

hard for us to concentrate on study when we’re in the classrooms. For one thing

the annoying noise made by the vans and cars disturbs our studies. For another

the classrooms which are supposed to be used for self-study are unavailable for

they are usually occupied for meetings by various kinds of associations.

Faced with such a hard nut we should find ways to crack it. I suggest that

our school should construct some special lanes for the traffic and provide

associations with specific rooms to have their meetings in order to provide a

better learning environment for us.

I appreciate your sincere consideration of my suggestions and hope that our

school will be ideal for academic studies.

Yours sincerely,

Where There is Life, There is Music

What is music, no one can explain.

Just imagine for a moment that you are sitting in a magnificent concert

hall. The conductor waves his shiny baton with a graceful swing through the air.

A beautiful melody floats slowly around you

You sit quietly with your eyes shut, your heart open. The delicate vibratos

of the violins carry you to a mood of heavenly bliss. An airy solo of the flute

draws you to the imagination, the notes flow like some jumping swallows dancing

and singing calling for the coming of Spring.

I like music from my childhood. My father often says when I was a baby I

would never go to sleep without soft, beautiful lullabies crooning around my

ears . Now music is a part of my life. When I feel tired, disappointed or in low

spirits, I usually turn to music. Music, nothing but only music can have so

wonderful an effect on my heart, on my pond of feeling.

Music comes with us. Where there is life, there is music. Where there is

music, there is hope. It lies in everyday life, in everyone’s life, in

everything we see, in everything we hear-- in the rhythm of the sea, in the

whisper of a gentle wind, in the melody of a bird’s singing, in the harmony of

village chimes. You can hear music wherever you may go . A man who doesn’t know

music will lose half the world. A nation that pays little or no attention to

music will be a sad nation. A world without music would be the one for the dead

and devils.

So dear friends, let’s open our arms to embrace music and enjoy it

throughout our lives. Love music and love life.

Thank you.

哪里有生活，哪里就有音乐

音乐是什么，无人能解释清楚。

想象此刻你正坐在富丽堂皇的音乐大厅里，乐队指挥手中的闪闪发亮的指挥棒在空中优雅的舞动。悠扬悦耳的音调飘扬在你的周围。

静静地闭上双眼，敞开心扉。小提琴精妙的振颤会把你带入到天堂祈福的心境;大提琴微弱低沉的叹息会使你想起一位老人在风中散步，沉浸在童年时代宁静和挚爱的回忆中;长笛轻快的独奏使你从想象中猛醒;流畅的音符像一群飞舞歌唱的燕子在呼唤春天的来临。

从童年时代音乐就是我的挚爱。父亲经常说，我在襁褓中，没有温柔甜美的摇篮曲在耳边低吟，就难以入眠。现在音乐是我生活的一部分。每当我感到疲倦，失望或情绪不振时，我就求助于音乐。音乐，除了音乐，没有什么对我的身心和情感有如此奇妙的影响。

音乐与我们同在，哪里有生活，哪里就有音乐;哪里有音乐，哪里就有希望。它存在于每个人的日常生活，存在于我们耳闻目睹的一切事物之中;存在于海的波涛，清风细语，悦耳鸟鸣，和谐的乡村钟声之中;无论你身在何处，都会听到音乐。一个不了解音乐的人将失去半个世界。一个不重视音乐的民族将是一个悲哀的民族。一个没有音乐的世界将是逝者和恶人生存的世界。

亲爱的朋友，让我们伸开双臂去拥抱音乐，在人生中享受音乐的乐趣。热爱音乐，热爱生活。

谢谢大家。

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.

There was once a little girl named Anna, that wanted to have magic in this

world; but she knew that her mother would just only laugh at her if she had told

her. And so she decided to go on the adventure on her own.

She got everything that she needed to complete her mission, and then

started off without a word to say. She headed out to the woods, and found a

little tree house nearby; she climbed up there with a ladder, and found lots of

books and shelves there. She found a book about knights, and turned to a page of

pictures of knights long ago; and how they battle enemies such as that. Anna

wished so much that she could go there.

After that she fell asleep, and then she opened her eyes, and found her on

the ground; as if she were asleep… She thought it very weird, that she was here;

at first she was at the tree house, then she was at the grass plot.

She got up, and walked through looking for an exit, then she found the book

that she was reading before; she knew that she must have gone into the knight’s

story because of her wish. She picked up the book, and looked around; The book

suddenly moved like magic, then, she found the books end; there were some words

written all over it.

She read in out loud, “If you want to escape this land you are in, all you

have to do is try and face all the knights, there are four of them; good luck!”

then she began searching for knights, but what she did before that was to think

about how to defeat them… She walked along the road, and finally saw a big tree

with a sharp branch; she had an idea of how she could face the knights; she

broke down the branch, and kept on searching. She was not quite ready for

beating them, for she just needed some other things in order to defeats them…

She kept on her journey, and suddenly realized a big rock; she was tired and so

lay on it. Then a crack came on her back, and the rock got up. Anna was

astonished, she stood up and said, “Who are you?” then the rock replied. “I am

the alive rock and I suppose you are Anna;” “How did you know my name?”

The rock took a breath and replied, “Because I heard your voice ever since,

I know you are looking for some new weapons to defeat knights…” “I most

certainly am alive rock,” and she bowed down. The rock then said, “I suppose I

can be of much use to you, I am going to come with you; and see whether there

are dangers…”

And so Anna and the alive rock moved along, suddenly they came to a big

giant tree; the tree said slowly, “Who are you that dare come to my place?”

“Ah!” shouted Anna, “Alive tree!” “How did you guess my name?” asked the talking

tree; “Because-because your, a-liv-e!” “Yep! And that’s my neighbor;” answered

alive rock. Anna then said; “OH, well I suppose you can be a lot of use to me

when I defeat knights!”

“Knight? Defeat? Ha! That is already the easiest sport I could think of! I

had defeated knights for like 2089 times!” “What?!” asked Anna rather surprised,

then she gulped and answered; “Then you must come with me!” answered Anna

proudly. And so the three of them marched down, until they came was a big knife;

the knife turned around and said, “Who are you little girl?” “Ah!” shouted Anna

again, “That’s our neighbor too!” replied alive tree and alive rock

together.

Anna then said, “Oh, then you must come with me; I have to defeat knights!”

“Oh,” answered the knife, “Then I suppose I could be a lot of use to you, now

all we are missing in the alive shield…” He didn’t even finish until, “What?!”

shouted Anna, “Don’t shout Anna!” replied alive tree, “This isn’t fake, it is

true; follow knife!”

Then knife led the group to where the big shield was, he was brushing his

face when they arrived, “Oh, hello everybody; and hello little girl named Anna!”

“How did you all know my name?” “No time for that!” shouted alive rock, “We have

knights to defeat!” “And you must come with us alive shield!” “No problem!”

shouted he, and then the group marched off.

They at last reached the knights hiding spot, the four knights answered;

“We shall destroy you!” speaking of which, the knights charged toward Anna’s

group; “Attack!” shouted Anna. Alive tree, alive rock, alive knife and mostly

alive shield charged toward the knights. Seeing such a fright, the knights said,

“You know what; maybe today is not the day boys…

Then the knights were destroyed by the alive group team.

Suddenly a flash came upon Anna, and she vanished out of sight; “Where did

she go?” asked the group. Then she shook their heads, and went back to their

homes…

And for Anna, she got back home; and she at last knew that magic is really

magic…

敬爱的英语老师：

您好!

我是您的学生李换双，马上要毕业了，感谢您培养了我，感谢您在学习上和生活上对我的关心和照顾。谢谢!

自从初一开始，我就与您直接接触。记得刚开始我就是一名普通的学生，后来因为我的英语成绩出众，您指定我担任英语课代表，我很高兴的接受了。从此以后，对英语除了喜爱，还有责任在此。实时的英语测验，我都得到了不错的成绩，自己心里非常高兴。但是随着时间的流逝，我的骄傲油然而生，慢慢的成绩开始下滑，有一次课堂上出题，我只得到了及格分。您给我的批语，是不理想。我看到三个大红字，在我的作业本上，心里悔恨极了。真是骄傲使人落后，耐心的听了您的讲解，改正错误，继续努力学习。

还有一次，学校食堂停电了，没有饭吃。我就去了您的家里，您拿出来自己家里的方便面和烧饼。硬要塞给我，我接受了，回去跟同学分享了，到处炫耀是您给我的，我可高兴了。如今，我就要参加中考了，马上就毕业了，马上就要离开您了。心里对您充满了感激，却又不知道该如何表达。唯一自己能做的就是，以后好好学习，找到好的工作，经常回来看望您。

最后祝愿您工作顺利，身体健康!

Laba rice porridge was first introduced to China in the Song Dynasty about

900 years ago.

Buddhism was well accepted in the areas inhabited by the Han Chinese， who

believed that Sakyamuni the first Buddha and founder of the religion， attained

enlightenment on the eighth day of the twelfth month. Sutras were chanted in the

temples and rice porridge with beans， nuts and dried fruit was prepared for the

Buddha. With the passing of time the custom extended， especially in rural areas

where peasants would pray for a plentiful harvest in this way.

There is， however， another touching story： When Sakyamuni was on his way

into the high mountains in his quest for understanding and enlightenment， he

grew tired and hungry. Exhausted from days of walking， he fainted away by a

river in India. A shepherdess found him there and fed him her lunch -- porridge

made with beans and rice. Sakyamuni was thus able to continue his journey.
