尊敬的校长：

我是六年级的学生，也在民族小学生活了四年，和民族小学产生了深厚的感情。我们即将毕业，像出海的小船，开始新的航程，扬起新的风帆。母校，多么亲切的称谓，想起你，我的心就会被感激充满。想着就要离开哺育我长大的母校，离开和我朝夕相处的老师，我真有点依依不舍。我坐在这窗明几静的教室里，对您提出几条建议，希望母校的明天更加灿烂。

我在母校生活了四年，算得上是学校的小主人了。四年来，我对学校有了不少的了解，我也从幼稚走向了成熟，变得有知识了，当然母校也变了，变得是那样的美丽。瞧，图书室里的书品种齐全，累的时候，就借几本来看看，多好啊;一排排的花坛也在道路两边诞生，让我们每天呼吸新鲜的空气;塑胶操场也把原来的操场比了下去，以前，只要有同学摔倒，身上就会被沾满泥巴，现在不同了，操场换成了塑胶操场，同学们在上面追追打打，就算在操场上打滚也不怕弄脏衣服了。我的母校现在可以说是设备齐全了。

可是，我总觉得还缺了点什么。

高尔基说过：书籍是人类进步的阶梯。我也不反对，书籍能扩宽我们的视野，是我们学生的第二课堂。我们学校也有一个图书室，里面书虽然不多，但是里面什么类的书都有。同学们要查什么资料，只要查找有关书籍就能解决问题了。可是，同学们有时去借书，图书室的老师说今天不该我们这个年级借书，该我们借了图书室的门却紧关着，那么有了借书证又有什么用呢?所以，我希望校长能让图书室的大门全天开放，什么时候借书都行，这样我们就能在书的海洋里遨游了。

还有道路边那个花坛，我本以为以后清晨会有不少的同学在花坛里面读书，可是学校根本我让我们进去。我知道不能践踏花草，但花坛里有一些用石子做的小道，它本来就是让同学们在里面玩的，可现在不能进去，难道那些小道只是用来做学校的装饰吗?

至于塑胶操场，有一个意见是我最想说的，不止是我，可以说是全校有一半以上的人都有这个意见。瞧，明明是课键时间，操场上为什么空无一人呢?那是因为操场旁的栏杆。原来，校长您怕我们损坏操场，所以在操场旁建了栏杆把操场围住，同学们想去活动也没办法进去，这样不塑胶操场用来代替以前那个操场，又有什么用，如果真是那样，那我宁可选择一前那个操场，我相信其他同学也会这样想的。

夜深了，望着天上的星星，我想校长您会采纳我的建议吗?明天的母校会是我想象的那样吗?也许会吧。

以上几条是我给校长的建议，如果有什么冒犯，请多多包涵，也希望校长能够采纳我的意见。

祝：工作顺利，万事如意!

愿：母校的明天更加美好!

A Visit to the Flower Show

Last week Nature Park held a flower show. I went to visit it with my friends. I was very glad to see so many beautiful flowers in the park. I was really amazed to see a sea of colourful

flowers. They told me that some rare flowers came from Taiwan. Thousands of people stopped and watched them carefully. I took many pictures there. Taiwan has always been a part of our country. I am sure sooner or later we can go there to see many more beautiful flowers. What great fun it will be.

Dear Mary,

I have been living in Beijing for some time now and I find it very

interesting here.

There are so many similarities between Beijing and London. They are both

the capital of the country and are both very important cities. Both places have

huge populations. They are both the economical, political and cultural center.

They both have many historical and cultrual

I also found many differences in the two cities. In London we drive on the

left side of the road, while in Beijing they drive on the right side. Most

people in London go to work via public transportation, here in Beijing most

people rides bycicles. In London the weather is always cloudy, here in Beijing

most the the time it‘s sunny. And in London most student don‘t spend their time

efficiently, but here in Beijing many people speak English cause they study

hard.

Regards,

Peter

Dear Miss Zhao,

Hello!

Teacher, three years ago, I stepped into the second primary school, and had the honor to become a student in your class. When I saw your first eyes, my nervous mood suddenly relaxed, because you are so kind.

I have gradually discovered that you have serious moments. I remember once I was distracted in class and didnt listen. Suddenly met your eyes to stop. Blushing, I listened carefully. I am especially grateful to you for not criticizing me in public and protecting my self-esteem. I have taken your teachings to heart. From then on, I was very careful in class.

After class, you talk and laugh with us, we all love to share their own secrets with you, you will help us solve some small troubles, and give us some small suggestions. You are not only our good teacher and helpful friend, but also our compass on the way of learning.

Remember the first grade writing is not careful, under your guidance, I insisted on practicing Chinese, and got a good result.

In the third grade, I especially like piano, you encouraged me, like to learn, but must adhere to oh! I took note of your words and stuck to it. In this years 18th National Campus art Festival in Hefei district general finals won the gold medal. They also qualified for the national finals. Ill keep going.

How time flies! Its already the fourth grade. Under your hard teaching, I from a naughty child into a sensible teenager, a good habit of learning.

In the next two years, I will cherish every minute with you and repay you with good results.

Merry:

Good health, good luck in everything!

When the summer holiday came， my cousin and I went to Huamei International

Schooland joined the English and Art Camp.

The camp lasted for three weeks. We had many interesting activities. I

enjoyed them so much， and I was always happy.

I made more new friends there too. I like studying and playing with them

very much and I think they were very friendly.

Our classroom， bedroom and canteen were all very comfortable. They are not

only bright， but also tidy and clean. The food in the canteen was also very

delicious and healthy. I enjoyed the school food a lot. The teachers loved us

very much and they took good care of us.

I like the life in Huamei International School.

敬爱的校长先生：

您好！

我叫左佳茹，是一名六年级的小学生。前不久，我考上了您的学校，并且已经交了学费。我知道，您的学校是一座全市知名的学校，我们村里也只考上了两名。对此，我感到十分自豪。

我在我的班级里，是一名学习优异的女孩，考试时，我一般都会在前五名以内。我十分喜欢音乐，也学会了不少歌，很多人都说我唱歌很好听；我也喜欢写作，因为写作时，我会感到无比地幸福，可能这就是写作的魔力吧。除此之外，我还会美术、搭配、制作服装等，这些既是我的爱好，又是我的特长。

马上就要升入初中了，我的心情无比激动，因为这是我梦寐以求的学校，是我从小就发誓要考上的学校。虽然说可能会有些波动，但是我依然把心放在了这里。我进入您的学校后，一定会更加努力，更加刻苦的学习，朝着我梦想的方向一步一步登攀——这个学校是我的出发点。我相信，我一定能够更加优秀，最后考上我理想的大学，实现我的梦想！

敬祝

身体健康，工作顺利

The winter holiday is coming. I am very excited. I want to better my

holiday plan. Now let me tell you my plan.

I’m going to read some books and listen to music and relax for a few days

first. On the fifth day, I’m going to do my homework. Of course, I’m also going

to do some housework. Lunar New Year’s Day, I’m going to take a trip with my

parents. I think it must be very happy. I can hardly wait! In the first six days

of February, I’m going to visit my relatives. It’s going to be fun! After a few

days, I’m going to finish my homework, because I am going back to my school on

February 16th.

Miss xiang is my einglish teacher,She has a good teacher,she has to eyes on

glasses ,A long hair,She has to tall.

She has very busy,Look! Einglish teacher is office coorrecting and tidy

einglish steamed roll.

She has likes rice and vegetables. She has like vegetables is taomato and

aubergine.

This is my einglish teacher!

Generally speaking, life in high school is busy and fulfilling, due to the

ultimate goal---College Entrance Examination. Many people say that there is no

fun left but bored study and endless exercises. However, as a high school

student, I can’t agree with them. Personally, I live a fruitful but happy life

in high school. It can’t be denied that study is my priority that I must spend

most of my time and energy on it. Sometimes, study may make me frustrated or

even drive me crazy, but I still can adjust my mood to enjoy my life. Besides, I

can also get a sense of achievement when I do well in my study or make progress.

The most important is that my friends bring much happiness to me and my parents’

care inspires me to go on. I think friends in high school are my best friend

forever, because they know me a lot and witness all of my emotions. They are the

persons who grow with me. In addition, teachers in high school care much about

our students both in study and life, and classmates are always friendly to each

other. We build deep friendship together. All of these make up my fruitful life

in high school, which I will cherish forever.

One day, cat is in the basket. It‘s very lazy. It is sleeping. Now the cat‘s food is beside the cat. One mouse is very hungry. It is eating the cat‘s food. The cat‘s food is so yummy.

The cat wakes up. He is behind the mouse. He wants to catch the mouse. So,he is chasing the mouse. The mouse is afraid. He jumps onto the door. But, the door is high. The cat can‘t catch the mouse. The mouse is under the chair now. It is running.The cat still can‘t catch the mouse. The mouse runs fast. It runs into the hole. The hole is small. But, the cat is big. It can‘t go into the hole. So, the cat is angry and tired. It is crying. It‘s very sad. But the mouse is very happy!

李校长：

您好!近来工作一定很忙吧!在百忙中又打搅您，真是过意不去。您那过早变白的头发和布满皱纹的脸，实在使我不忍心再给您增加负担。可是，为了我们下一届的同学能健康成长，我还是要提笔给您写这封信

作为一名普通班毕业生的我，也算是饱尝了普通班的艰苦与辛酸想必您上次听我们班数学课时，您对那满脸笑容、和蔼可亲的授课教师非常满意吧当然，您决不会想到她平日的模样。

数学课上，她曾指着北行同学说：你们这些差学生也摆谱?告诉你们，除了我之外，有谁正眼瞧你们呀?没有自知之明!继而又指着南行的同学：你们这20颗‘明星’也不顶用。然后狡黠地一笑，得了得了，自己看书吧，给你们讲啊，纯粹是对牛弹琴!普通班的学生毕竟是低能儿!看着她精彩的表演，听着她刻薄的语言，同学们的心都碎了!

记得当初我们来到这个班时，曾满怀信心，一定要把这个班搞好，跟重点班争一争。然而，我们所希冀的五颜六色的憧憬，竟被我们的任课老师打破了，我们多寒心!诚然，恶劣的环境是能够塑造人才的，一个意志坚强的人是能够点燃起信仰的明灯去开拓自己的道路的，然而，自学成才率毕竟微乎其微。对于我们这些正在人生旅途中探索，如盲人骑瞎马，夜半临深池一般的初中学生，也就更为困难了。

自从升入初三年级后，我们班的确进步了许多，主要是因为我们换了个班主任。我们班的刘欣在物理竞赛中进入前三名，邹明的考试成绩在年级名列第一。这些成绩，无疑给您和我们全班同学以无限的欣慰;可是您为什么不看看整个初三三班同学的状况呢!外语及格者寥寥无几，六门功课全及格的根本没有，难道这个教训还不深刻吗?事实已经给分班的做法打上了一个醒目的?80年代末的中学生都希望成为时代的中流砥柱，都希望成为建设21世纪中国的一代天骄，然而，这一切的一切本领都要靠我们从老师那里索取位好的老师对于我们来说就是最好的领路人，他能使我们的身心得到健康的这发展，而一位不负责任的老师(如那位数学老师)给我们带来的伤害则是不可深弥补的。分普通班、重点班对我们的身心也是有影响的。它使无数兄弟姐妹的份非凡才华得不到发挥。李校长，请您尊重现实吧!

再过几天我们就要离开我们所热爱的学校，离开我们所敬佩的您，我们是多么恋恋不舍呀!李校长，请您相信，我永远不会忘记这所培养我多年的学校，永远不会忘记您和那些兢兢业业地工作的老师，请相信我会在新的环境中展示出新的力量。但我还要说：以后不要再分重点班和普通班了，让下一届的弟弟妹妹们能健康成长，切莫重演我们的.悲剧了。李校长，求您了，请尊重学生的自尊心吧!他们实在承受不起老师给予的压力啊!最后祝您工作顺利，身体健康，也祝我们的下一届同学在您的关怀下健康地成长!

此致

敬礼

您的学生

Transportation has been greatly changed in the past few years. In ancient days, people used to travel by horse or carriage. The journey was often tiring and tedious. Then people had buses, trains and ships, which could shorten the time of the long-distance trip. Now we have not only more private cars, but also planes and high-speed rails. All of these modern transports could offer us a quick and pleasant travel. Thus, more and more people enjoy traveling very much these days. In conclusion, modern transportation has completely changed our life. Thanks to modern transportation, our world is becoming smaller and smaller.

敬爱的张校长：

您好!

转眼间，我在这个校园已经一个春秋。我爱校园的绿草如茵，我爱校园的朗朗书声，我爱校园的空旷操场……

但是，在学习生活中，我深切地感受到周围同学的体质比较差，我想围绕这一点，针对学校中存在的一些问题，提一些想法和建议。

1、食堂菜肴搭配不合理，建议改善菜品。近期，学校食堂的菜肴天天都是油炸食品，中午鸡腿、晚上油条，而且油条已经放了多时，不仅很难嚼，而且气味难闻，一点儿也不健康。真的校长，一天两顿，一顿三个菜，有时候三个菜全是肉，一点素菜的影子都看不到。真实惨了!校长，我们真想多吃点素菜，少吃点油炸食品啊!建议学校制订一份菜谱，加强营养保障，注意丰富和美味，尤其提供一些同学们喜欢的新鲜蔬菜。

2、加强病假管理，让学生多运动。校长，学校其实合理安排了体育课，校园内也有很多体育设施供学生锻炼。但主要问题是体育锻炼的时候，很多学生装病不跑步，不锻炼。什么理由都有，有的说：“我肚子痛了，跑不了。”“我的腿开刀了，跑不了”……一个班有十个人请假，真的太夸张了，难怪那些经常请假的学生体质这么差，一天到晚都生病。请您加强这方面的管理，对体育锻炼的病假严格一点，督促同学们锻炼身体，让同学们的体质能够好起来。

3、此外，我们学校洗手池的水龙头关不紧，已经滴水很久了。更可怕的是，有个水龙头都生锈了，偶尔流出锈迹污染的水。我们的林荫道上，有人乱扔垃圾，一些垃圾堆积在角落，发出臭味，引来了飞虫。这些都不利于学生的健康，请校长能够安排检查整治，解决问题。

以上是我的建议，提供校长您吸取采纳，让我们的校园更加美丽!

祝您：身体健康!

Dear Mr. Williams,

Thank you for your letter of congratulation on my exam results. I was very pleased to hear from you. The results were a great relief. I did much better than I thought I would.

We are having a celebration party on Saturday 22 May and we shall be pleased if you can come. It is a party for me, but my parents and some of their old friends are joining in, so you will find

The party starts at half past six- drinks, and a buffet supper later. You said in your letter that youve given up driving, so my father will meet you with the car at San Mateo station. Please let me know what time your train arrives.

There is a good train back to San Palo at 10:30 and well arrange transport for you to catch that. I hope that wont be too late for you. It would be a pity if you had to leave while the party was still in full swing.I do hope that you will be able to come.

Yours sincerely,

Lily Chen

My Darling McGeorge

You said that things seemed clearer when they were written down. Well, here

with a very boring letter in which I will try to put everything down so that you

may read and re-read it at a horror at your folly in getting involved with

me.

Deep breath. To begin with ,I love you. With a depth and passion and I have

felt for no one else in this life. And if it is astonishes you, it astonished me

as well. Not, I hasten to say, because you are not worth loving. Far from it.

Its just that, first of all,I swore I would not get involved with another

woman. Secondly, I have never had such a feeling before and it is almost

frightening. Thirdly, I would never have thought it possible that another human

being could occupy my waking and sleeping thoughts to the exclusion of almost

everything else. Fourthly, I never thought that even if one was in love one

could get so completely besotted with another person so that a minute away from

them felt like a thousand years. Fifthly, I never hoped,aspired, dreamed that

one can find everything one wanted in one person.

I was not such an idiot as to believe this was possible. Yet in you I have

found everything I want: youre beautiful, gay, giving, gentle, idiotically and

deliciously feminine, sexy, wonderfully intelligent and wonderfully silly as

well. I want nothing else in this life than to be with you, to listen and watch

you, your beautiful voice, your beauty, to argue with you, to laugh with you, to

show you things, to share things with you, to explore your magnificent mind, to

explore your wonderful body, to help you, protect you, serve you ,and...bash you

on the head when I think you are wrong...

Not to put too fine a point on it, I consider that I am the only man

outside mythology to have found crock of gold at the rainbows end. But, having

said all that, let us consider things in details. Dont let this become public,

but, well...I have one or two faults. Minor ones,I hasten to say. For example I

am inclined to be overbearing. I do it for the best possible motives, all

tyrants say that, but I do tend, without thinking, to treat people underfoot.

You must tell me when Im doing it to you, my sweet, because it can be a very

bad thing in a marriage.

Right, the second blemish. This actually is not so much a blemish of

character as a blemish of circumstance. Darling, I want you to be you on your

own right, and I will do everything I can to help you in this. But you must take

into consideration that I am also me in my own right. And that I have a head

start on you. What Im trying to say is that you must not feel offended if you

are sometimes treated simply as my wife. Always remember that what you lose on

the swings you gain on the roundabouts. But i am an established ‘creature’ in

the world, and so on occasions you will have to live in my shadow. Nothing gives

me less pressure than this. But it is a fact of life that has to be faced.

Third, a very important and nasty, blemish. Jealousy. I dont think you

know what jealousy is, thank god, in the real sense of the word. I know that you

have felt jealousy over Lincolns wife and child, but this is what I call normal

jealousy, and this to my regret, is not what Ive got. What I have got is a

black monster and any goodness that I have in my make-up. It is really a Jekyll

and Hyde situation... my Hyde is stronger than my good sense and defeats me,

hard though I try. As I told you, I have always known that this lurks within me,

but I could control it, and my monster slumbered and nothing happened to awake

it. Then I met you and I felt my monster stir and become half-awake when you

told me of Lincoln and others you have known, would you like to end with your

letter my monster came out of its lair, black, irrational, bigoted, stupid,

evil, malevolent. You never know how terribly corrosive jealousy is; It is a

physical pain as though you have swallowed acid or red hot coals. It is the most

terrible of feelings. But you cant help it at least I cant and god knows Ive

tried. I dont want any ex-boyfriends sitting in church when I marry you. On our

wedding day I want nothing but happiness both for you and me, but I know I wont

be happy if there is a church full of your ex-conquests. When I marry you I will

have no past, only a future. I dont want to drag my past into our future and I

dont want you to do it, either. Remember I am jealous of you because I love

you. You are never jealous of something you dont care about.

Okay enough about jealousy. Now let me tell you something. I have seen a

thousand sunsets and sunrises, in a thousand sunsets and sunrises on land where

it floods forest mountains with honey-coloured light, at sea where it rises and

sets like a blood orange in a multi-coloured nest of cloud, slipping in and out

of the vast ocean. I have seen thousand moons. Harvest moon is like gold coins,

winter moons as white as ice chips, new moons like baby swans feathers. I have

seen seas as smooth as if painted, coloured like shot silk or blues as a

kingfisher or transparent as glass or black and crumpled with foam, moving

ponderously and murderously. I have felt winds straight from the south pole,

bleak and wailing like a lost child; Winds as tender and warm as a lovers

breath; Winds that carried the astringent smell of salt and the death of

seaweeds; Winds during the moist rich smell of a forest floor, the smell of a

million flowers. Fierce winds that churned and moved the sea like yeast, or

winds that made the waters lap at the shore like a kitten. Ive known silence:

the cold, earthy silence at the bottom of a newly dug well; The implacable stony

silence of a deep cave; The hot, drugged midday silence when everything is

everything is hypnotized and still moved into silence by the eye of the sun. The

silence when great music ends. Ive heard that summer cicadas cry so that the

sound seems stitched into your bones. Ive heard a tree frogs in an

orchestration as complicated as Bach singing in a forest lit by a million

emerald fireflies. Ive heard the Keas calling over the grey glaciers that

groaned to themselves like old people as they inched. Their way to the sea. Ive

heard the hoarse street vendor cries of the mating Fur seals as they sang to

their sleek golden wives, the crisp staccato admonishment of the rattlesnake,

make the cobweb squeak of the Bat and the belling roar of the red deer knee-deep

in purple heather. Ive heard wolves baying at a winters moon, read howlers

making the forest vibrate with their roaring cries. Ive heard the squeak, purr

and grunt of a hundred multi-coloured reef fishes. I’ve seen hamming birds

flashing like opals round a tree of scarlets blooms, humming like a top. I have

seen flying fish skittering like quicksilver across the blue waves, drawing

silver lines on the surface with their tails. Ive seen Spoonbills flying home

to roost like a scarlet banner crossed the sky. Ive seen Whales, black as tar,

cushioned on a cornflower blue sea,creating a Versailles of fountain with their

breath. I have watched butterflies emerge and sit, trembling, while the sun

irons their wings smooth. I watch tigers, like flames, mating in the long grass.

I have been dive -bombed by an angry Raven, black and glossy as the Devils

hoof. Ive lain in water warm as milk, soft as silk, while around me played a

host of Dolphins. I have met a thousand animals and see a thousand wonderful

things.

All this I did without you. This was my loss. All this I want to do with

you. This will be my gain. All this I would gladly have forgone for the sake of

one minute of your company, for your love, your voice, your eyes, hair, lips,

body, and above all for your sweet, ever surprising mind which is an enchanting

quarry, in which it is my privilege to delve.

Dear Professor Smith,

I am Li Hua, chair of the Students’ Union of Xinhua Middle School. Our school will have the Second Culture Festival next weekend and I am writing to invite you to give us a lecture about the cultural differences between America and China, which will begin at 9 o’clock and end at 11 o’clock on Nov. 28th in Classroom 201 of the third teaching building.

As an expert in international culture, you must have a good knowledge of the cultural differences between America and China, so we hope you could help us increase our knowledge and clear some cultural confusion.

Could you please contact us in advance at Englishtec @163.com if you could come to our culture festival? We are looking forward to your reply.

Yours，

Lihua
