Dear Sir,

I understand your well-respected college offers a number of places to overseas students every year, and I am writing to enquire about the application procedure.

I am at present a student at Mary High School, Hong Kong, where I have been studying for the past five years. I passed the Hong Kong Certificate of Education Examination last year with distinctions in English and History, and credits in Economics and English Literature. My advanced-level subjects are History, Economics and English Literature. In addition to these subjects, "Use of English" is also a compulsory subject because a pass in English is a minimum requirement for admission to most faculties of the University of Hong Kong.

Apart from academic work, I have been actively involved in extra-curricular activities. I am Chairman of the English Club and I have represented my school in many inter-school contests.

On the advice of my friends, I have decided to further my studies in England because I wish to widen my horizons and benefit from the scholarly heritage of your country.

I wish to continue to study the above-mentioned subjects at your college in the 2006/7 academic year before I sit the Advanced-level Examinations in England.

As regards my character, Mrs. Chen, my Principal, and Mr. Huang, my English master, have agreed to act as my references.

As I come from a family of fairly limited means, I would like to know if there is any financial assistance available for overseas students.

Attached is a summary of my qualifications for your reference.

I should be grateful if you would kindly consider my application and notify me of the result at your earliest convenience.

Should you require any further information, please feel free to contact me or my references.

Yours faithfully,

Lily Chen

My favorate fruit is watermelon because I like eating everything sweet.

for hot Summer. I almost eat watermelon everyday in Summer. Now,as Summer is

Almost everyone has one idol,or maybe more than one.Someone’s idol is maybe

a Movie star.For example,Li Ming. Someone’s is likely to be a Sports star,such

had suffered great pain.Mother’s love is the greatest thing in the world.Then

she takes good care of me,so I have a happy childhood.In the course,she is so

careful and patient.This is the love that I need to learn.My mother is

hard-working and diligent.She always gets up early and do the housework,and

other things.This sets an very good example to me.

and gradually,I develop a habit of getting up early and help her to do some

work.In school,I will go to read books in the morinig.She is also virtuous.She

is helpful.When some neighbours need help,my motherdoesnt hesitate help them.I

have been doing the same like my mother.And she is attentive,She is supportive

of the things I do.When I face a choice,she can let me make a choice.Then she

will support me.And when the time that I feel unhappy and heart-struc.

she will console me,then I will restore confidence and my body will be full

of strength.

I love my mother very much.She is my idol,the model also.She is the

greatest person in my heart.

many friends, but in my heart, this girl is my best friend. I hope our

friendship can last forever.

In this summer holiday, I didnt attend the summer camp, also did not go out to travel, just stay at home to write my summer homework assignments.

Although it is summer vacation homework, but also do not have a flavor. I take out in writing homework first, open the book, a pen as in the copybook written up a row, particularly serious, because I know if there is no written, there will be a punishment comes. Time soon, after I have finished writing the a, pick it up in the sunlight, she look a look, really good. Followed by a second, I want to write this one looks very little, but it is not good to write to write. After I finish writing the content, a look, there are a lot of grid can collapse, had no choice but to rewrite it again.

Alas, I this summer vacation in addition to practice calligraphy, maths and English...... of all the other things didnt do, I live in learning all day.

在这个暑假里，我既没有参加夏令营，也没有出去旅行，我只呆在家里写暑假作业。

虽然是写暑假作业，但也别有一番风味。我先拿出练字的作业，翻开书本，一笔一划的照着字帖临写起来，特别认真，因为我知道如果没有写好，会有惩罚降临的。时间很快，转眼我已经写完一张了，拿起来在阳光的照射下，自己瞧一瞧，真是不错呀。紧接着我要写第二张了，这一张看起来内容很少，不过写起来就不一定好写。我把这些内容写完之后，一看还有很多格子，简直崩溃了，没办法只能再重新写一遍。

练字其实是一种很好的休闲方式，它既可以让一个毛躁的人安静，也可以让一个人的字更加漂亮，我就觉得练字挺好。有时是觉得练字很讨厌，很烦，为什么别人不厌倦呢，因为他们用心练字了。暑假里，我在家练字，别人在外玩，我很羡慕，可是我认为练字也是一种愉快的“游戏”，我喜欢练字!

我的英语不是很好，因此爸爸妈妈在暑假期间给我报了一个补习班，想到他们那么努力的为我，我也要更加学好英语才可以。

数学可是我的老大难，令我厌倦不已，但是在暑假里妈妈每天忙忙碌碌，又要上班又要教我学数学，

有时自己学着学着感觉还挺有意思的。

唉，我这个暑假除了练字、学数学和学英语······其他的事情都没做，我整天都活在学习当中。

Do your teachers still use traditional techniques to teach you nowadays? A revol- ution in teaching techniques is required now. In the past, we just took it for granted that a teacher s aim was to teach the students all that he knew and solve all the problems for them. Therefore, students could mot judge things on their own under this circumstance. Thus students gradually lost the ability to learn by themselves. In addition, they were only equipped with the knowledge that were taught in class and made the same judgement upon every problem which might crop up. Of course, they would find their knowledge not enough to solve practical problems.

So it is time to change the teaching method. A teacher s goal is to help the students develop not only the ability to learn by themselves but the skills to make judgements on every aspect on their own. It s not necessary for the students to turn to teachers for help while meeting with difficulties. The first thing is to develop the students abilities to make sound judgements upon any problem and overcome difficulties.

All in all, the aim of teaching is to liberate, but mot to fetter the students innate powers of making sound judgements.

你们的老师仍使用传统技术，现在教你?阿revol在教学技巧ution现在需要。在过去，我们只是把它理所当然地认为一老师的目的是要教导学生，他知道，解决他们的所有问题。因此，学生可以摩托罗拉自行判断在此情况下的东西。因此，学生们逐渐失去了学习能力本身。此外，他们只配备了那些在课堂上教授时所作的每一个问题，可能会突然出现相同的判断的知识。当然，他们会发现自己的知识不足以解决实际问题。

因此，现在是改变教学方法。甲老师的目标是帮助学生发展，不仅学习的能力，但自己的技能，就在自己的每一个方面的判断。那不为学生需要寻求帮助教师在会见困难。首先是培养学生的能力作出的任何问题，正确的判断和克服困难。

总之，教学是解放的目标，但摩托罗拉束缚作出正确的判断学生的固有权力。

Summer Vacation

I enjoy summer vacation very much.

Because summer vacation is the longest vacation of the year.

We have more than fifty days to rest.

Though it is very hot, we can either go to swim or stay in the air-conditioned room .

In the evening, I like to go shopping with my friends.

We can eat many things in summer, such as ice creams, watermelons, grapes, and so on.

In summer, I always go on a trip with my parents.

Its a good chance for us to visit some nice interesting places.

I have many friends, and one of them is Lily. She is one of my best

friends. She lives in the same area with me. We become friends for three

years.Every school day, we go to school together. We have many things in common.

For example, we both like listening to the music, reading books and playing

badminton. We both study hard and do well in studies. We help each in study,

because we want to make progress together. I am happy to have such a good

friend.

Recently, my father changed a new mobile phone, which is Samsung svmvng.

Silver gray shell, is flip, very beautiful. As soon as I turn over the lid, I

emit seven colors of light.

It has a lot of functions. Open the game, there is a my "pet", open a look,

wow! A kitten. I cant play, just press, the kitten disappeared, I see, broken!

Hurry to ask Dad, dad looked and said: "Oh, Lin Lin, how did you buy the kitten!

I managed to raise the kitten so much that its time to take part in the

competition. Why did you buy the kitten? " I said, "Dad, Im sorry, I cant play,

you teach me." My father bought a kitten with 8 yuan and taught me how to feed

it.

Dads cell phone also has the function of taking pictures. At noon, the

whole family gathered around the dining table to have a meal. I took a picture

of everyone, so that my grandfather, grandmother, father and mother looked at

their appearance. They all laughed, and I also laughed.

When I grow up, I want to buy a better cell phone than dads.

Christmas is one of the most important celebrations of the year for the western countries. it falls on the twenty- fifth of december and has the same importance as chinese new year to people with english backgrounds. the celebration is for the birth of jesus christ, who is the son of god in christianity. now days christmas is no longer only celebrated by the christians, but by most people from all over the world.

On the twenty- fourth of december everyone gets excited for it’s the day before christmas which is called christmas eve. the children are usually sent to bed early and are warned that “santa claus will only come and give you a present if you be good.” the younger kids actually believe that santa will come down the chimney on the sleigh that’s pulled by his reindeers. food like short bread and beer are prepared for santa when he comes, however most times parents just eat them. some children put socks and sacks up for the holding of the presents (that their parents put in).

Rise and shine on christmas morning! the children are always the first ones to wake up, some even do at four. present wrappers everywhere! they look into their presents with a big smile on their face and oh dear….i hope no one’s disappointed. i feel sorry for anyone that got pink underwear. children play while dinner is prepared by the adults. the christmas dinner are usually eaten together by relatives. the tradition of christmas pudding and roosters are usually eaten with deserts afterwards. the rest of the day is usually games and fun before the good days all come to an end.

I wish everyone a merry christmas and a happy new year!

Dear friends:

Today I returned to my home. It is so nice to be back. Id like to take this

opportunity to express my heartfelt and sincere thanks for the comfort and

encouragement you gave me during my stay in hospital.

Thanks to the horrible accident, I have begun to treasure what I have now.

It was your love that got me through the tough period. Your cards, flowers and

smiling faces were like a warm fire in the dark freezing winter nights, which

will always spur me on and give me strength.

Once more I would like to say “thank you” to you all.

Yours,

Li Min

My mother is sixty-three years old, and for the last forty year she has

been the village doctor. She has a small clinic that she prepares medicine and

treats small injuries, and also sells canned powder milk. Our house has people

in and out at all hours of the day and night. The villagers always like to come

to her clinic to see the doctor and to meet their neighbors, too. Almost all the

villagers come to my mother when their baby is due. My mother is very good at

predicting the day the baby will come. Sometimes my mother will not get enough

sleep if the babies come late at night or early in the morning. There are

special rooms for the mother and baby, and usually they stay at the doctors

house about twenty-four hours. We always like to see the new babies get their

first bath because they look so red and small. All the village people know and

trust my mother because she is such a quiet, kind, and experienced friend of

theirs.

The Jacksons spend their happy time on Sundays. They get up early in the morning. After breakfast, they go to church. There they meet a lot of people. They like to talk with them.

After they leave the church, the Jacksons go to the park. They go boating happily. Then it is time to have lunch. They have a picnic under the tree. After lunch the children begin to fly kites while the couples are fishing by the lake.

In the afternoon the children play on the lawn while Mr. and Mrs. Jockson are walking in the park. They enjoy themselves.

They spend almost the whole day in the park.

Nowadays, any Chinese can enjoy the luxury of owning a private car - if he or she can afford it. Having a car of your own means no more traveling to work on crowded buses or subway trains, and you can drop off the children at school on the way. Moreover, it also means that you can enjoy the weekends and holidays better, because with a car you can go to places where the regular buses and trains do not go, and so you can find a quiet scenic spot with no crowds.

However, there are drawbacks to owning a car. For one thing, with the increase in car ownership in recent years, the roads are becoming more and more crowded, often making the journey to work more of a nightmare than a dream. For another, it is not cheap to run a car, as the prices of gasoline and repairs are constantly rising, not to mention the prices you have to pay for a licence and insurance coverage.

Having considered both sides of the argument, I have come to the conclusion that the advantages of owning a car outweigh the disadvantages. Therefore, it seems to me that China should increase its output of automobiles and enlarge the private car market. The result would be that cars would become cheaper, while at the same time the extra demand would encourage the auto industry to produce more efficient and family-oriented vehicles.

We all like to make friends, we live in a society that we need to communicate with others. Without a friend, one can never express his emotions, no one share his sorrow and happiness. Making friends balances ones emotions, you can talk to friends any things, like secret, which you dont want to share with our parents. But here is the fact that not everyone is suitable to be friend, we need to obey the rules. First, the guy must be honest. Honesty is the base of the being friends, to be frank and then to be close. Second, there is something common in you two. The same interest always brings two hearts close, the more something in common, the better, thus he will be your best friends, you can share things with him. Making friends is a big deal, cause if you make the wrong one, you may get the negative thing from him.

我们都喜欢交朋友，我们生活在一个社会，需要彼此交流。没有朋友，一个人不能表达他的情绪，没人分享喜怒哀乐。交朋友能平衡感情，你可以和朋友谈任何事，比如你不会和父母分享的秘密。事实上，并不是所有的人都适合成为朋友，我们需要遵守原则。第一，那个人必须诚实。诚实是成为朋友的基础条件，闯开心扉然后变得亲近。第二，你们两个之间有共同点。共同的兴趣让两颗心靠近，越多共同点越好，因此他会成为你最好的朋友，你可以和他分享事情。交朋友是一件很大的事，因为如果交友不慎，你可能会感染他的一些恶习。

家乡的山是那样绿，绿得可爱;家乡的水是那样清，清得动人;家乡的人们是那样勤劳，使人永远记得他们。

在我的家乡，有一座拔地而起的山——雪峰山。

这座雪峰山峰峦迭嶂、连绵起伏，像一条青龙卧在那里，又恰似一个巨人，矗立在万山之中，盛情的俯视着大地。每天清晨，灰蒙蒙的晨雾似袅袅的轻烟，缠绕在山顶，仿佛它做错了什么事，羞于露面。雪峰山不止一座山，大的、小的、长的、短的、横的、直的都有，争雄似的一座比一座高。

这里不仅有唯物雄壮的雪峰山，还有蜿蜒曲折的沅江。

这悠悠江水仿佛是一匹翠绿的巨幅绸缎，从远处高山深处一直铺到我的脚下。这沅江真美呀!清澈、碧绿、恬静，令人神往，远看它是那样的绿，绿的像一条翡翠的绸带;近看是那样清，清的可以看见江底的鱼虾，夜晚那弯弯的月牙倒映在“绸带”上，是那样美丽、温柔、迷人。

这儿除了湖光山色，还有勤劳朴实的人们。

每天清晨，当你漫步大街时，你就会发现勤劳的农民伯伯早早来到农贸市场，吆喝着，想让每一位路人尝尝秋收的喜悦。如今，在这个小镇上，已经建起了一座座高楼大厦，建起了高速公路……这里还有一位解决了世界上粮食问题的伟人——杂交水稻之父——“袁隆平”。

我爱我可爱的家乡——安江，因为这里山美水美人更美!

When it comes to haze, I believe many people hate it to the bone and sigh

when talking about it. No, just a few sunny days, Monday morning gave us a big

"surprise".

In the morning, as soon as I stepped out of the door, I was stunned by the

scene in front of me: the sky seemed to be covered by a gray cloth, and the

pedestrians, roadside plants and cars on the road were also dyed gray.

Everything is covered with a layer of ash. Walking on the street, the visibility

is less than 100 meters. Under the influence of haze, the original clear scene

becomes extremely blurred. Even the bright colors of the traffic lights seem to

be in a trance.

At school, the situation has not changed, and low temperature is of no use.

The red flag is flying in the middle of the air. The soft and beautiful

movements are slightly slow due to the influence of the dust around. Because in

haze days, many small particles will be inhaled, and the oxygen content in the

air will be reduced, which is not suitable for sports, so the physical education

class in the morning has also been cancelled. I dont know if I should be happy

or worried.

Haze days, its really annoying!
