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.
Useful Expressions:

参考翻译
叮叮当,叮叮当,铃声多响亮,圣诞节快到了!我想家乐福等大卖场一定挤满购买装饰品及圣诞礼物的人潮,热热闹闹的更有温暖的气氛。
许多地方摆满了红红绿绿的圣诞红,有的地方也一一竖起又高又大的树木,挂上缤纷亮丽的灯饰及大大小小的卡片及小饰品就成了非常漂亮的圣诞树。街上还不时看到胡须洁白如雪,戴着红红尖帽的圣诞老公公,挥舞双手向人们热情打招呼。如果世界上真的有圣诞老公公的话,我想向他祈求一把小提琴和一双跳跳鞋作为我的圣诞礼物。
我希望圣诞老公公能送我一把小提琴,因为在学校常看到许多同学拉着小提琴,演奏一首又一首美妙的乐曲,常让我听到入迷。小时候我喜欢拿着玩具提琴,摸着那有弹性的琴弦及弓,感觉很有趣。读幼儿园大班时我有学过小提琴,还曾上台表演。但上小学后就没继续学琴了,现在我也完全忘记怎么拉琴,真可惜!如果圣诞老公公真的送我一把小提琴,我要好好表现,再请求妈妈可以让我上提琴课,学会真正演奏的技巧,将美妙的音乐分享给大家。
如果可以,我还希望能有一双“跳跳鞋”当圣诞礼物。因为我每天走路上学都要走好远。如果我有“跳跳鞋”,我要上学时只要穿上它,跳个二下不到五分钟就可以到学校了,又快又方便。可是我也担心如果穿上它出去玩,遇到山洞或隧道,会不会跳的太高撞的满头包。如果没有这个礼物也没关系,我也喜欢每天走路上学,路上可以看见许多洁白的鹭鸶在社区觅食,还可以看到很多草地上的小黄花。走路上学既可以看让身体健康又可以看到漂亮的风景,也是件令人开心的事!
如果圣诞老公公真的达成我的愿望,我会好好珍惜得到的礼物。我也要感谢在寒风中辛苦奔波的圣诞老公公,因为他很辛苦跑来跑去的送给许多人礼物,让大家都能心想事成。希望温馨欢乐的圣诞节能快快到来,也祝福大家都能平平安安、快快乐乐。
篇8:现代社会的人是不是更独立英文作文
全文共 1812 字
+ 加入清单题目:Some people think that in the modern world we are more dependent on each other, while others think that people have become more independent. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
范文:
People have different views about whether we are more or less dependent on others nowadays. In my view, modern life forces us to be more independent than people were in the past.
There are two main reasons why it could be argued that we are more dependent on each other now. Firstly, life is more complex and difficult, especially because the cost of living has increased so dramatically. For example, young adults tend to rely on their parents for help when buying a house. Property prices are higher than ever, and without help it would be impossible for many people to pay a deposit and a mortgage. Secondly, people seem to be more ambitious nowadays, and they want a better quality of life for their families. This means that both parents usually need to work full-time, and they depend on support from grandparents and babysitters for child care.
However, I would agree with those who believe that people are more independent these days. In most countries, families are becoming smaller and more dispersed, which means that people cannot count on relatives as much as they used to. We also have more freedom to travel and live far away from our home towns. For example, many students choose to study abroad instead of going to their local university, and this experience makes them more independent as they learn to live alone. Another factor in this growing independence is technology, which allows us to work alone and from any part of the world.
In conclusion, while there are some reasons to believe that people now depend on each other more, my own view is that we are more independent than ever.

春联,是中国新年的装饰,没有春联,春节就不完整。春联的来历就要说到新年的来历
according to legends in the chinas ancient past there was a monster known as nian who often came down from the mountains to eat livestock and locals. it was discovered that he was afraid of the color red and so red paper was placed around doors and windows of houses and poems for good luck were added to them. the houses with the red paper were avoided by the monster, so its inhabitants were spared. the tradition has continued until today.
根据中国古代历史传说中记载,有一个叫“年的”怪物经常从山上到村子里吃牲畜。后来人们发现这个怪物怕洪泽,所以就在门上,窗户上贴红纸,红纸上面还写一些增加转运的诗。这样,怪兽害怕贴满红纸的屋子,所以这个风俗被流传了下来,一直直到今天。
couplets are traditionally painted with black ink on two pieces of red paper which is then hung on either side of a door.
对联传统的来讲是用黑墨在两张红纸上写字,然后贴在门的两侧。
one half is hung on either side. there is an extra piece of paper painted with words of prosperity hung above the door frame. traditionally the couplets are poems consisting of two lines of either four or five characters. they are painted from top to bottom, right to left.
一边贴张。另外还有一个横批写着意味繁荣之意之字贴在门框的上方。传统的对联,上联合下联是4个或5个字,是一对诗。写对联一般是从上到下,从右到左。
different couplets have different themes. for farmers the couplets are meant to bring bounty to them, whereas businessmens couplets are meant to bring money. traditionally scholars would paint couplets and give them to their friends, relatives, and the public. many people choose to create their own couplets. many times door god or the character "fu"is added to doors along with the couplets.
不同的对联有不同的主题。比如,给农民的对联是带来好收成,商人挣跟多钱。传统学者会自己写对联赠予朋友或亲人。许多人会自己设计属于自己的对联。门神和福字一般都是和对联配套的贴在门上的。

+ 加入清单Today is June 21st, Fathers Day. There is an indescribable feeling in my
heart, because I am not by their side, my parents are over 50 years old, and a
son cannot be filial by his side, and when the family is busy with farming, he
has to go to the construction site to sell his coolies in exchange for a little
bit. Poor wages.
I deeply remember the year when I went to school in 1999, my father told me
a sentence: "I can only put you in the car, and the future is up to you." I
understand what he meant, he was in Tell me that your brother went to a normal
school, and I will also enroll you in a secondary school. After school,
everything is up to you. My fathers teachings are like a lamp, illuminating my
future and inspiring me all the time.
I am a native rural boy. At some point our way out is to go to school. My
three brothers and sisters all went to secondary school, which is a huge expense
for a rural family. But in the eyes of my parents, we must be more promising
than them, not to farm at home, even if the family is busy with farming, we
should read books at home. I clearly remember that when I was in the first grade
of junior high school, my father and mother were working in the farmland. When I
went home to fetch water to drink in the field, I found that I was not reading,
but watching TV at home. Dad was very angry at the time, and asked me to take
the book and follow him. I followed him in despair. When he got to the field, he
asked me to read books there. He even found an umbrella for me so that I would
not be exposed to the sun. Although Dads eyes were harsh, they were more warm
and caring. At the time, I didnt understand the good intentions of my parents,
but now I really feel guilty when I think about it.
Dad, today is Fathers Day. In the past 28 years, you have done so much for
us. I can never repay in my life. I hope you are happy every day, healthy and
safe.
Whenever I walk heavy, I can always remember the power of your gaze and
move forward. Dad, you are my crutch at all times, give me support, give me
direction, give me strength, so that I can walk every step of the way in the
future. Even if you are not by my side, that deep fatherly love will still help
me forever!
Now that I have become a father, I have a deeper understanding of the kind
of expectation and care I have for my children. Dad I will always love you.
Again, I wish the parents of the world good health and long life.

As a lyric goes:“ You’ll be old if you don’t pursue something you like insanely.” I didn’t pay much heed on it the first time I saw this lyric. But you’ll never realize the profound meaning until you put it into practice.
Not long ago, I did a crazy , at least as far as I can see, thing. Well, you can guess it. I went to see a vocal concert of my favorite super star---Yan Yalun, who comes from Taiwan province. Although it happened two months ago, the stirring scene still excited me a lot every time I recollected it.
On January 9, 2013, Yalun held a concert at the centre of Kaide Square in Wuhan. I arrived there alone at about 11:20am. Cause the concert would begin at 5:00pm, I had to wait for nearly six hours. But it seemed that every fan who had arrived there gave a cold shoulder to the waiting time, the half of the square had already been occupied by Yalun’s fans. They were taking pictures of the advertisements about Yalun’s concert, buying album and making new friends with each other. About one century passed by, it was the wonder time next. With the thunderous applause breaking out, Yan Yalun presented at the stage. I burst into tears instantly I saw him. Then it was the official procession. He described what the new album tried to tell us and answered some questions asked by the host. Later, it was the key link and also the point why I eagered to come here so much---Yan Yalun’s autograph on my new album. It meant that I could shake hands with him, I had never imagined it. It was my turn to get the autograph. He firstly received my letter written to him by me and shaked my hands. Then, you could never guess it, he touched my head softly! At that moment, I could hear nothing and my brains were all blank so that I even didn’t know how I came back.
To be honest, the excited feeling is out of the expression by words. Only have you walked into the scene can you tell the magic feel. Believe it or not, the idols can give fans power. So , guys, Just do a crazy thing under the cover of your blossom age!

全文共 635 字
+ 加入清单在The Right Word at the Right Time的“序言”中,编者对词语选用的重要性作了一个很好的比喻:“Using the right word at the right time is rather like wearing appropriate clothing for the occasion:
it is a courtesy to others,and a favor to yourself-a matter of presenting yourself well in the eyes of the world."
显然,说话或写文章时用词适当比穿着适当难度大得多,因而也具有更大的重要性。在我国,古人写文章时常为一个词语的选用具思苦想,因而有“语不惊人死不休”的说法。
成语“一字值千金”也说明了选择词语的极端重要性。有时“一字之差”造成令人遗憾的败笔,或招致成千上万的经济损失。这些反面的教训也告诉我们必须重视词语选用的问题。
2.词语选择的可能性
实际上,我们每个人的脑子里都有了一个或大或小的词库,只要我们肯去发掘,往往可以得到更好的表达方式。这是我们做好词语选用的主观条件。
从客观条件广看,我们有各种类型的词典和参考书,只要我们平时多翻译、多阅读,写作时勤查考,就会在词语选用上不断进步。当然,一部好词典也不会毫无缺点,更难以面面俱到,因此在这里我们应牢牢记住著名英国作家、评论家和辞书编纂家Johson的话:
