Today, the world is learning mandarin. According to the report, there are

over one hundred million foreign people learning Chinese. Whats more, a lot of

foreign companies are having their workers master not only Chinese language, but

also the culture. Chinese dream influences so many people, which provides great

business chances and let the young people realize their dreams. Just as the

successful person said, the 19th century belonged to the UK, 20th century

belonged to America and the 21th century surely belonged to China, whether

people liked it or not. We need to master the chance and equip ourselves with

many skills, so that success will come at hand.

Cellular phones have had a major impact on our lives and the way that we

perform every day tasks. Many of these changes are apparent, while others we may

not even be aware of.

Cell phones have brought a whole new meaning to the term multitasking.

Twenty years ago, it was not possible to talk to the office while you were at

the grocery store picking up some necessary items. You could never have had a

three-way business conference while you were fixing dinner or been able to deal

with a business client from home while caring for a sick child. Cell phones have

enabled us to do various tasks all at the same time.

Cell phones have also enabled families to keep in closer touch with each

other. Children can contact you if they have missed their ride form soccer

practice and your spouse can call while he is stuck in traffic to let you know

that he is going to be late for supper. Teenagers are able to call to ask

permission to go somewhere, and with GPS features that are now available on some

cell phones, you are able to check to make sure that they are where they are

suppose to be.

Many of these advantages we do not even notice. Have you ever arrived at

the grocery store and realized that you have forgotten your grocery list? The

first thing you would probably do is to call home and have one of your children

read the list off to you. In the same situation in past years, you may have

forgotten things or have had to drive all the way back home to get it. If your

car breaks down, you automatically call for help instead of having to walk to

find a pay phone. Cell phones have certainly made our lives much more

convenient.

Cell phones have also changed the way that people interact with each other.

When we call someone, we are actually calling the person and not a place. This

enables us to be more spontaneous when making plans as you rarely get a busy

signal and unlike a land line telephone, someone is always home. Cell phones

also enable us to call if we are going to be late for an appointment, although

this has led to cell phone users running late more often than those who do not

have cell phones. These users seem to have adopted the attitude that appointment

times are not concrete and use their cell phones to renegotiate their arrival

time.

One of the greatest disadvantages of the cellular phone is the fact that we

do not talk to strangers when traveling anymore. In the past, several people

waiting for a bus would engage in a conversation while they were waiting. People

who traveled the same routes every day might develop friendships along the way.

This situation does not happen anymore. Today when people are waiting for a bus,

they just pull out their cell phones and speak with old friends, missing out on

the opportunity to make new ones. In large cities, many people do not know their

neighbors, even though they may have lived in the same neighborhood for years.

As a society, we are beginning to lose the face-to-face contact that was such an

important part of our lives in the past.

Cell phones are a great asset in aiding in our every day lives. You should

remember, however, to hang up every once in a while and pay attention to the

world around you.

Now we are facing two problems of global warming and a shortage of natural

resources, both of which are getting more and more serious day by day. Thus, it

is important for us to promote a low-carbon lifestyle.

Low-carbon lifestyle covers many aspect of our life like transportation,

traveling, home-heating, and so on. In order to promote a low-carbon life, some

plans must be carried out as follows. Firstly, don’t waste any electricity and

water. Remember to turn off the lights and water taps unless we use them.

Secondly, we had better take the subways or bus to work, so as to reduce the

emissions of carbon dioxide. Thirdly, we should use cloth bags for shopping

instead of plastic bags, and use recyclable bowls and chopsticks instead of

disposable ones, for it can not only save resources, but also reduce pollution.

What’s more, it is of great significance to plant more trees, since trees can

balance the carbon dioxide emissions.

In a word, if we live a low-carbon life from now on, we will have a better

environment and more resources left for our descendants.

Nowadays, there is a increasing number for people to join in the activities

of volunteering. It’s well-known that volunteering job is making contribution to

the society with nothing in return. It’s like the Leifeng spirit. However,

knowing this, there are still many people would like to devote themseves in this

trend. For instance, the 20__ Beijing Olympic Games has so many volunteers. They

made lots of contribution to the success of opening the Olympics. Moreover, we

can often see that there many students go to gerocomium to visit the old to

bring warm to the lonely people. Even there are some people’s career is

volunteer. They are ready to help others. Although the volunteers are much more

common, we still need to thanks them to admire them devoting themseves to the

society.

With the development of economy, there are more and more vehicles on the

streets. Governments at all levels have to do something to solve the problem of

heavy traffic in the city.

I would like to share with you some ideas about this problem: firstly, the

government should build more roads. This action can decrease the degree of

street congestion and make it possible for cars to run faster than ever before.

But each coin has two sides. If a city builds too many roads, the streets will

occupy much land. We will have little space used for other purposes. So

secondly, more special bus lines for public transportation should be added. Thus

people can go conveniently everywhere they like; they will not ride bikes or

drive cars. In this way, the number of cars and bikes on the road will be

greatly cut down.

As far as I am concerned, if we want to solve this problem, we should set

up an idea of public transportation first and give a priority to this idea in

our traffic work.

Before I entered the middle school, I felt so worried about the life in

middle school, because my cousin told me that I would have to compete with so

many excellent students. Now I get used to the life, I learn many subjects from

Monday to Friday. Though I always meet the difficulties in learning the new

knowledge, I get help from my teachers and classmates. I am not afraid of the

middle school life again, I am so excited to learn new things every day. In the

future days, I will meet many challenges, I believe I can get over them. Life in

middle school has happiness and sorrow, they fulfill my life.

My father likes to watch all kinds of sports, so when I spend the time with

him, we watch the match together. The Summer Olympic Games is coming soon, I

feel so excited, my father will follow the games and I will company him. It is a

great time for both of us. We share our opinion and talk like friends.

TheTimeof a date has different standard for boys and girls. Girls always

like to be late for about ten minutes while boys always reach the destination on

time. If the girls are earlier than the boys, then the situation will become

awkward, it is not polite to let a girl wait for a boy. But sometimes girls are

always late for more than half an hour, which annoys the boys. It is said that

if you call a girl to ask her if she is on the way, then she will answer you

that she just goes out of the house, the truth is that she is still in the

house. Most girls are late for making up for a long time. It is considerate to

be late for a date for a few minutes, but it is impolite to be late for much

time.

Youth is the most beautiful time to a person. When they are young and

beautiful, they can do whatever they want. Some people say that youth is the

time deserves us to be wasted, because if we are not crazy for one time, then we

will become old soon. I don’t agree with this opinion. During the most beautiful

time, we should fight for our future. The things we do will mean so much for us.

When we look back on the past days, we will be proud of ourselves. The time that

we fight for our dreams deserves to be remembered all the time. This is what

youth means to us.

I,m so glad to receive your letter, in which you wanted to know about the

Dragon Boat Festival in China.

I feel honored to tell you about it. Celebrated on May 5th in the lunar

calendar, it is a folk festival having a history of more than two thousand

years. Also, it is one of the most important festivals in China.

As for the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival, there are many beautiful

legends, of which the story about Qu Yuan is most widely accepted. Qu Yuan, a

Chinese poet who loved his country deeply, drowned himself in the Miluo River

after his country’s being defeated. To honor him, people in China hold various

activities every year, including eating zongzi and dragon boat racing.

I hope you can come to China to enjoy it for yourself.

Once man did not have to think about the protection of his environment。

There were few people on the earth， and natural resources seemed to be

unlimited。

Today things are different。 The world has bee too crowded。 We are using up

our natural resources，and polluting our environment with dangerous chemicals。 If

we continue to do this， human life on earth will not survive。

We realize that if too many fish are taken from the sea， there will soon be

none left。 Yet，with modern fishing methods， more and more fish are caught。We

know that if too many trees are cut down， forests will disappear。 Yet， we

continue to use powerful machines to cut down more and more trees。 We see that

if rivers are polluted with waste products， we will die。 Yet， waste products

are

still put into rivers。

We know that if the population continues to rise at the present rate， in a

few years， there wont be enough food。What can we do to solve these

problems?

If we eat more vegetables and less meat， there will be more food available。

Land for crops feeds five times more people than land where animals are

kept。

Our natural resources will last longer if we learn to recycie them。

The world population will not rise so quickly if people use modern methods

of birth control。

Finally， if we educate people to think about the problems we shall have a

better and cleaner planet in the future。

It isn’t hard to grow up into a responsible member of society。

I can well remember an incident that happened on a rainy Sunday afternoon。 I was on my way to the bookstore and was waiting for the green light at a crossing when a girl of about ten was knocked down by a passing car， which drove off quickly。 A man immediately rushed to the girl to give her first aid and I joined in without hesitation。 Luckily she was not badly injured and we sent her to the nearest hospital。 Compared with the escaped driver， I am proud of what I did。

As a member of the society， I am aware that being responsible is what it takes to make a better society。

Today is Mother’s Day. I know some of my classmates are going to help their

mothers with the housework, others .are going to buy some flowers for their

mothers. I want to say to her that I love her very much. But as a boy, it is a

bit difficult for me to show my heart. I think only girls can do that.

My mother is very kind. She takes care of me day and night.

She spends little money, but buys anything for me that I need.

This time I must show my love. I am going to give her a card and write like

this, "I love you, mother!" I am going to put it under her pillow.

今天是母亲节。我知道一些同学打算帮妈妈做些家务，还有一些同学打算给妈妈买些花。我只是想对妈妈说一声，我非常爱她。但是对我来说这样表达我的情感有点儿难，因为我是个男孩。我觉得只有女生才这样做。

我妈妈是个非常善良的人。她对我照顾得无微不至。她自己很少花钱，但能给我买我需要的任何东西。

这次我一定要表示我对她的爱。我打算送她一张写有“我爱你，妈妈”的卡片，我还打算把它放在她的枕头下面。

Dear Manager

I got to know the message that the position of the salesman in your company is empty, which made me excited about it, for that, I want it for a long time.

Please let me tell the reasons why I am so excited. Its so famous that it is hardly unknown to everyone. As known, in your company, the products are in a good qualification and the sales service is satisfied, which made me believe that your company would be a perfect stage for me.

Of course, the requirements for this position are high, but I think I am good enough for it. In the last four years, I worked very hard on my study and had a good understanding of professional knowledge. Besides, I took every chance to practice. I attended several activities and took up an internship is an organization. As a result, I developed great practical skills. And, I get CET-6 certification and choose the sales lessons. I think they would be helpful to be your staff.

I am looking forward to your reply.

I like reading very much during summer vacation. Let me tell you something

about my reading.

One day, I just finished my meal and went to the front of the bookshelf to

look for the books I wanted to read. My eyes are on the famous little woman. I

couldnt help but pull the book out of the shelf. Sit on the bed and look with

interest. What a wonderful book! I am like the scene in the book of dragon road:

I am happy for the little hero when he receives the gift; I am sad for the

little hero when his canary dies.

Time passed by minute by second. Unconsciously, I have been reading for

three hours, and my eyes begin to ache, but I am still reading there, until five

hours, my eyes are willing to strike.

With the improvement of our living standard， more and more people can afford a car. As a result，our roads are more often than not crammed with cars.

However，with more and more waste gas being discharged by the cars，the problem of air pollution bees even more serious. So nowadays we advocate to lead a low-carbon life.

My suggestion is we should ride bikes more often instead of driving cars.By riding a bike， we can not only exercise our body but also protect our environment.

Why not have a try， my dear friends?

与我们的生活水平的提高，越来越多的人都买得起汽车的。因此，道路往往没有堆满了汽车。然而，随着越来越多的废气排放是汽车、空气污染问题变得更加严重。所以此刻我们提倡过低碳的生活。

我的推荐是我们就应更经常骑自行车而不是开车骑一辆自行车，我们不仅仅能锻炼身体，也能保护我们的环境。为什么不试试，我亲爱的朋友?

每个人都会有许多梦想。有的人想变得富有，一夜暴富;有的人想一夜成，名扬四海。我也有许多的梦想。当我还是一个女孩的时候，我就梦想着，有朝一日成为一名像华罗庚那样的科学家。但是我知道，梅花香自苦寒来。所以，我在中学和大学时为我实现我的梦想而认真刻苦的学习。

大学毕业后，我成为了一名老师，虽然我每天都很忙碌，但是我没忘记过我的梦想，我仍然不断坚持学习。在求知的道路上不断摸索前进，废寝忘食。现在，我已经小有成就了，我的多篇研究论文相继发表，研究成果也有着极高的应用价值。我很快乐。虽然，成为一名科学家目标还很远，毕竟我还是在不断向前迈进。

Today I am very happy, because today is not only "38" womens day, but also

my mothers birthday.

Early in the morning I thought, what to do for my mother? I thought to

myself, I didnt think of a way, so I went to ask dad. Dad said, "you can make

her a card or do something for her." So I decided to make her a card. I took out

a small piece of cardboard and wrote, "happy holidays and good health." Well, I

put the CARDS in my room.

I went out to help my mother mop the floor, my mother said in surprise:

"you dont even touch the housework, how do you have to mop the floor today?"

Ill just mop the floor and not answer mom. At noon, I put the CARDS in my

mothers room, and my mother said to me, "what are you doing in the room?" I

smiled at my mother and said, "its a secret."

At night, I said to my mother, "happy birthday to you, and I wish you a

happy holiday." Mother said: "today is my birthday I remember, today is what

holiday?" I opened my eyes to my mother and said, "today is march eighth

international womens day! Dont you remember? "I thought you knew it was for

you," I said to my mother. My mother took the card and looked at it, moved to

tears.

During the summerVacation, I think I should do something interesting and

meaningful rather than touring. So I found a job at a fast food restaurant and

worked there as a cleaner. I worked eight hours a day for three weeks. This job

was boring and seemed endless, which made me so tired that I nearly stopped it

half way. But, I stuck to it with determination. Every day I started to work

early in the morning and got home late in the evening. Finally, I finished the

job before the new school term. Now, I realize what labor means. I think it is

really a successful experience, which is worth remembering forever.
