亲爱的外国友人：

您好!我是中国江苏省南通市的小陈，您应该收到了我从中国邮寄来的包裹吧。我从中国给您寄来的可是中国的特产——板栗哦。

这种坚果您在您的国家里可一定没有见到过吧。它是经过翻炒过后才变成您现在见到的样子——棕红色的。它长在我们中国的栗子树上，它是圆圆的，浑身长满青绿色的小尖刺，就好像一个个青色的小刺猬呢。农民伯伯需要用特制的手套将能它们从刺猬球里掏下来，再炒熟才能食用。

您千万不要拿到栗子就直接吃掉哦，这栗子是要剥掉壳才能吃的哦，可以轻轻用牙咬一下，壳的表面才会裂开，里面那层土黄色的果肉才是可以食用的。咬完之后，再把剩下的壳用手剥掉就可以了。

今天，我就向您传授一个剥栗子比较好的方法：如果您身边有比较软硬的物品就再好不过了。你拿起它，用适中的力度对准板栗砸下去，这时板栗的壳就会裂开，接着你用手把它轻轻剥开就能吃啦。那金黄的板栗肉就露了出来，咬上一口，香甜软糯。那味道一定会让你回味无穷。

板栗不仅香甜软糯，还富有营养，也能防治高血压、冠心病、动脉硬化等疾病呢!听我讲到这儿，您应该已经口水直流了吧!那您就赶紧按照我的指导和建议吃几个板栗吧!板栗还可以和烧鸡一起食用呦。最后再提醒您一下，板栗虽然健康，但是也不可以多吃哦，不然会上火，便秘。

您一定会喜欢上我给您寄的这份礼物——板栗的。祝您身体健康、延年益寿!

在三年级时，我认识了一个叫张哲玉的女孩，别看她的名字不太起眼，可她很可爱呢!她有一双水汪汪的大眼睛，仿佛会说话似的，充满了灵气。她有一条特别长的辫子，乌黑漂亮。她的性格开朗极了，不时会逗得人哈哈大笑。很快我们就成为了好朋友。

Calligraphy is the essence of Chinese culture, which has developed into a special high-level art apart from satisfying the needs of daily writing. It has been flourishing for thousands of years in China. Shops with strong commercial atmosphere will gain some elegance if they are decorated with some quaint cultural calligraphic works. Sitting rooms, studies and bedrooms can be nice-looking with calligraphy works decorated. As a kind of art work, the writing of calligraphy is particular. The Chinese characters are written on Xuan paper which absorbs ink very well and then are mounted to hang on a wall. The calligraphy works are mostly a poem or a motto that the host of the room likes it much; if it is written by the host himself, it will demonstrate more his aspiration and interest as well as his talent.

书法是中国文化的精粹，除了满足日常书写外，它已经上升成为一门特别的高等艺术。他兴旺于中华大地数千年而不衰。商业气息浓重的店面装饰一些具有古色古香、文化色彩的书法作品就会平添几分高雅。书法作品也常常装饰客厅，书房和卧室。作为一种艺术，书法的书写是很讲究的。汉字写在吸水性很强的宣纸上，然后再装裱起来挂上墙壁。书法作品多半是居室主人所喜爱的一首诗词或是一句格言;如果这是他自己所作，那就更能显示他的志趣和才华了。

Nowadays, in an ever tighter job market, great importance has been attached to an interview by both the employer and the applicant. The interview, so to speak, has become indispensable for getting a satisfactory job. On the one hand, the interviewer can take advantage of the occasion to learn about the candidates, such as their work experiences, education and their personalities, so as to pick out the right person for the company. On the other hand, the interviewee can make use of the

opportunity to get to know the job he is going to take up, the salary, the working conditions and many other things about the job he is interested in. Therefore, the job interview is very important to a job-hunter. But how can one succeed in it? Firstly of all, the interviewee must pay attention to his or her appearance. The first impression is always where we start. Get dressed properly and neatly. Secondly, good manners are equally important. Dont be too proud, and neither too timid. Just be courteous. Thirdly, the interviewee must demonstrate his aptitude and skills for the job and his knowledge about eh job-related areas. Be confident.

Last but not the least, the interviewee ought to be honest about his or her personal as well as academic background, for honesty is the best policy. To sum up, the job interview is indeed important, but there is no need to be nervous. As long as the interviewee has the ability for the job, with careful preparation and a fairly confident and honest performance, his or her success can be ensured.

如今，在一个日益吃紧的劳动力市场，不管是对于求职者还是雇主，面试都非常重要。成功的面试可以说已经成为得到一个满意的工作的必不可少的条件。一方面，面试者可以利用这个机会，了解候选人

如工作经验，教育背景和他们的个性，以挑选出该公司的合适人选。另一方面，求职者可以利用这个机会去了解他所要从事的工作，如待遇，工作条件以及其他一些他感兴趣的情况。 因此，对于求职者来说面试是非常重要的。但如何才能成功呢？首先，求职者一定要注意其外表。第一印象往往首当其冲。穿着要适当和整齐。其次，良好的举止也同样重要。不要太骄傲

也不过于胆怯。要有谦虚的品格。第三，求职者必须表现出自己的工作能力及技能和有关领域的知识。要有信心。最重要的，求职者应该诚实说明他的个人情况，以及学术背景，诚实是最好的策略。

我有一个朋友叫杨林瑞，他中等个子，身子瘦瘦的，一张白净的瓜子脸，夏天他喜欢穿短衣短裤。。

杨涟瑞喜欢打篮球，平时一有空就会去操场上打一会儿。每节体育课上，只要老师一问哪些同学要打篮球，他就像早就准备好了一样，一下子把手高高地举起来，还一边举手一边说：“我、我、我。”生怕老师看不见他似的。不过，他打篮球确实打得好，是我们班的篮球队主力队员，尤其是三分球，投得特好。

别看他篮球场上是一员猛将，场下却是个爱哭鬼，一点点委屈就会眼圈红红的并流下泪来，跟有多大伤心事似的。平时，就是被谁无意中碰一下，他也会哭。记得有一次我们班训练篮球，训练结束后，我把他的球一下子抢了过来，本来是想跟他开一个玩笑，没想到他一下子哭了，手脚无措。弄得我十分尴尬。

他还有一个不好的习惯，就是吃饭吃不干净。每天中午在学校就餐，老师给他舀饭，无论多少，她总会剩几颗米在盘子里，老也改不掉。

由于我们俩同为篮球队员，常常在一起练习，日久生情，我俩渐渐地成了形影不离的好朋友。

这个小珍妮，一会儿哭，一会儿笑，真不知道她在想什么。但是小珍妮还是那么天真、可爱，我的一个好朋友。

Hello!

你好!

In life, there are some things that are really difficult to say clearly; maybe one of my actions makes you have a great view; but to tell the truth, I always have an idea that good friends must not have anything to do with money; not that I am too realistic, but that there are some things, as long as the money is linked, how deep feelings will eventually be unhappy and dispersed.

人生之中，有一些事情，真的很难说清楚;也许我的一个行为，就让你产生了极大的看法;可是说实话，我一直有一个观念，好朋友之间，一定不能跟金钱有任何挂勾;不是我太现实，而是有一些事情，只要跟钱挂勾了以后，那么有多深的感情，最后都会不欢而散。

As a stable working person, I always think you should do a good job and make some achievements in your work. So when you borrow money from me to do business, I really disapprove of 10,000 people. I think people should not be too greedy in this life. Because you are an iron rice bowl person, if you do business, then your stable life will be broken. For my friend, Ive been trying to persuade you, but I believe you must have misunderstood me.

作为一个有稳定工作的你，我一直觉得你应该要好好工作，在工作上有所建树;所以当你向我借钱做生意的时候，我真的一万个不赞成;我觉得人这一生，不应该太贪心;因为你是一个端铁饭碗的人，如果做了生意以后，那么你稳定的生活，就将会被打破;所以作为朋友，我一直在劝你，但是我相信你一定误解了我。

To tell you the truth, when you ask to borrow money, I can say that I am not without money; but I think that there will be problems between friends if they have something to do with money; if you ask me to borrow money because you are in urgent need, then I will never hesitate; but if you take money to do business, then it must be risky; if you make money, then there will be risks between brothers. It must be easy to say, but if you lose money, will our relationship survive when I ask for money?

说实话，当你开口借钱的时候，我可以说，我并不是没有钱;而是我觉得，朋友之间，如果跟钱扯上关系以后，那么就一定会出问题;你要是因为急用，找我借钱，那么我决不犹豫;可是你是把钱拿去做生意，那么这一定是有风险的;如果你赚钱了，那么兄弟之间，都一定好说;可是如果你亏了，当我找你要钱的时候，我们的关系还能保存吗?

Maybe you really dont understand me very well, thats what youve always been thinking; if a person borrows money from me to do business, I wont borrow it either; if a person has difficulty borrowing money from me, I can help him borrow it without me; because I think that doing business and encountering difficulties are two different purposes; so I didnt lend money to you, so I let you see so much. Law.

也许你真的不太理解我，在一直的观念就是如此;如果一个人找我借钱做生意，我有没有我都不会借;如果一个人有困难找我借钱，我没有我都可以帮他找人借;因为我认为做生意和遇到困难，这是两个不同的用途;所以我才没有借钱给你，才让你有了那么大的看法。

You said that since then, our brotherhood has ceased; in fact, I feel very sad to hear such words; do you mean that our brotherhood is measured by money? In my opinion, you dont treat me as a brother at all; if you treat me as a brother, then I believe you wont say that and ask me to borrow money; because the real brother must be pure and never have anything to do with money.

你说从此以后，我们兄弟之情就断了;其实听到这样的话，我觉得很伤心;难道说，我们兄弟之情，就是用金钱来衡量的吗?在我看来，你根本就不把我当兄弟;如果你把我当兄弟，那么我相信你就不会说这种话，也不会找我开口借钱;因为真正的兄弟，一定是纯洁的，跟金钱永远也不会扯上关系。

In this society, money is really not a good thing; if you dont have money, people will look down on you, and if you have money, they will borrow it from you; if you have it, what is it? But when I cant borrow it, then I will become an enemy between brothers and friends, so instead of becoming an enemy in the end, why dont I borrow it from the beginning?

在这个社会之中，钱这个东西，真的不是一个好东西;没钱那么别人看不起你，有钱别人又要找你借;有借有还，这还没有什么?可是当借了以后，还不起的时候，那么兄弟之间，朋友之间，就会成了为仇人;所以与其最后都会成为仇人，那么我何不从一开始，就不要借。

I had a big argument with my good friend yesterday because of the baseball teams.During the break time,we argument about which team is the best in the league big.I thought it is yangqi and he thought it is redsocks.After the argument,he went of to say goodbye to me and close the door loudly.I was so angry with him.

Then he still didnt talk to me during the next break time.He didnt even look at me.I started to feel sad because he is my best friend.When it was time to go home I asked him if he wanted to go with me as usual.He looked at me with a strange look and still turned away.But this time,he did say goodbye to me quietly.

In the end,while I was watching TV the phone ring.It was him and he said he was sorry about what he did,he felt childish.I said never mind we are still good friends.Now I feel much better I hope we wont argument any more.

I have a friend,she is lovely.

She has a pair of watery eyes,blink,like two little stars.My hair is short,it is lovely,her eyebrows light,a straight nose and a small mouth.

Speaking of the friend,I think of an honest with her.Once,she come to my house,then I just another friend to play,see she is coming,we can play jump step,on the way,we old people,often jumps several steps ……But she never lie,also said:“ you are not honest,the old people,its not good,not fair.” My friend and I really appreciate her this kind of spirit,will no longer act shamelessly.Playing for a while,we three people played the vegetables carrot soup,I always lose,I begged her to give me a light,less to play a few times,she said:“ to be fair,the rules of the game like,I how to perform,allowed to depend on.” Afterwards,I angrily told her:“ I ignore you,youre no good for me ”。But then I thought:“ I have done anything wrong,she is fair to do this,I can tell her.” Therefore,we made up again.

You want to know who she is?She is my sister,her name is Zhou Yu hu.

我有一个朋友，她活泼可爱。

她有一双水汪汪的大眼睛，一眨一眨的，犹如两颗小星星。头发短短的，很是可爱，她的眉毛淡淡的，有一个上挺的鼻子和一张樱桃小嘴。

说起这个朋友，我就想起一件她诚实的事情。有一次，她到我家来，这时我正好和另一个朋友玩，见她来了，我们就一起玩跳阶梯，在途中，我们老耍赖，还经常多跳几层台阶……可她从不耍赖，还说：“你们在不诚实，老耍赖，这样不好的，不公平。”我和我朋友很欣赏她的这种精神，也就不再耍赖了。玩了一会儿，我们三人又玩起青菜萝卜汤了，结果我一直输，我央求她给我打轻点，少打几下，可她却说：“为了公平，游戏规则怎么样的，我就怎么样执行，不许耍赖。”事后，我愤怒地对她说：“我不理你了，你对我不好”。但是我又想：“是我做得不对，她是为了公平才这样做的，我不能对她有成见。”所以，我们又和好如初了。

你想知道她是谁吗？她就是我的妹妹，她叫周瑜胡。

SomeHolidays are so much fun that they catch on outside of their culture. The most obvious exampleisprobably Christmas, which is celebrated around the world by people who aren’t even Christian. Similarly, in recent years, the Dragon Boat Festival has moved beyond China to become an international holiday celebrated by people who may know little about the holiday’s origins.

有些节日实在是很有趣，所以在本土文化以外的地方也很受欢迎。最明显的例子可能就是圣诞节，世界各地的人都会庆祝圣诞节，即使是非基督徒。同样，最近几年端午节已经不局限于中国，成为国际性节日，而庆祝的人可能对节日的由来并不太了解。

The Dragon Boat Festival is one of three majorChineseholidays, along with the Spring and Moon Festivals. Of the three, it is possibly the oldest, dating back to the Warring States Period in 227 B.C. The festival commemorates Qu Yuan, a minister in the service of the Chu Emperor. Despairing over corruption at court, Qu threw himself into a river. Townspeople jumped into their boats and tried in vain to save him. Then, hoping to distract hungry fish from his body, the people scattered rice on the water.

端午节与春节和中秋节并列为中国三大节日。这三个节日中，它可能是最古老的一个，可以追溯到公元前227年的战国时代。这个节日是为了纪念楚国的大夫屈原，他因为对朝廷的贪污腐败感到绝望而投河自尽。镇上的人纷纷冲上船去救他，却没有成功。后来大家把米撒到水里，希望把饥饿的鱼群从他的躯体边引开。

Over the years, the story of Qu’s demise transformed into the traditions of racing dragon boats and eating zongzi – a kind of rice wrapped in bamboo leaves. The races have certainly captured the imagination of people from all over the world. Every spring there are nearly 60 dragon boat races held outside of China in cities from Vancouver to Sydney, from Gdańsk, Poland to Cape Town, South Africa. Canada alone has nearly 50 dragon boat teams and Germany has nearly 30.

多年以后，屈原逝世的故事逐渐演变成赛龙舟和吃粽子(一种包在竹叶中的米食)的传统。这些竞赛显然激起了世界各地人们的想像，每年春天有将近60场龙舟赛在中国境外的城市举办，从温哥华到悉尼，从波兰的格但斯克到南非的开普敦。单单字加拿大就有将近50支龙舟队伍，德国则有近30个。

So what is it about the Dragon Boat Festival that appeals to foreigners? “It’s an unusual

sport,” says one racer from Germany. “It’s not like everybody’s doing it. That’s one of the reasons that there’s such great team spirit in a dragon boat team – everybody feels like we’re doing something special.” And what about the zongzi? “Ehhh, they’re not bad, I guess,” he says. “Something of an acquired taste. I just haven’t really acquired it yet.”

那么，为什么端午节赛龙舟会吸引外国人呢?“这是一项不寻常的运动。”一位来自德国的参赛者说，“这并不是所有的人都在从事的运动。这正是龙舟队的团队精神如此高昂的原因之一，每个人都觉得自己在做一件很特别的事。”那么粽子呢?“喔，我觉得它不难吃。”他说，“那是一种需要后天培养的品味。我只是还没培养出来罢了。”

The Dragon Boat Festival ,also called the Duanwu Festival ,is celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth month according to the

Chinese calendar.People always eat rice dumplings and watch dragon boat races to celebrate it.

The festival is best known for its dragon-boat races,especially in the southern places where there are many rivers and lakes. Ití?s

very popular.

The rice dumpling is made of glutinous rice,meat and so on. You can eat different kinds of rice dumplings.They are very delicious.

And Dragon Boat Festival is for Qu Yuan. He is an honest minister who is said to have committed suicide by drowning himself in a

river.

Overall, the Dragon Boat Festival is very interesting!

Today I want to tell you something about my classmate. He is a boy of l7 years old. He is tall and strong. He likes reading books very much. He likes sports, such as skating and playing basketball. Sometimes when he if free, he enjoys listening to music. He is kind. I am not good at math and he often helps me with my math. I want to say :"Thank you so much ." I am quite happy that I have such a good friend.

小朋友们，你们知道吗?中国人可多了，爸爸告诉我，中国是世界上人口最多的国家。56个民族就像亲兄弟一样非常团结、和睦，而且每个民族都非常热情好客，都有自己民族独特的人情风俗。告诉你们吧，我还是个大理白族“小阿鹏”呢!要是你来中国，来大理，热情的“小金花”会为你献上“白族三道茶”，可有意思了!

现在我们放暑假了，爸爸说要带我去许多美丽的地方旅游，我开心极了。有时我想，要是我能开飞机就好了，那样我就可以开着飞机接你们来畅游中国了!

亲爱的小朋友们，今天就先写到这儿吧，以后我会经常给你们写信的，因为我很爱我的祖国，我希望把美丽的中国介绍给全世界的小朋友。

祝你们永远快乐!
