Water

Water is very important for living things. Without water there can be no life on earth. All animals and plants need water. Man also needs water.

Water is found atmosteverywhere. Even in the driest part of the world there is some water in the air.

As we all have found out, water may be a solid, or a liquid or a gas.When it isa solid, it may be as hard as brick, When itis a liquid, you can pour it out of a container. When it is a gas, you cannot see or feel it.

Although about 70 percent of the earths surface is covered with water,there are many places in the world still running out of water. So we should make good use of water on earth.

译文：

水对生物很重要，没有水，地球上就没有生命。所有的动植物都需要水。人类也需要水。

水几乎无处不在。即使在世界上最干燥的地方，空气中也有水。

水，正如你所了解的，有固态、液态和气态。当它是固态时，它可以像砖一样硬；当它是液态时，你可以将它从容器中倒出；当它是气态时，你看不见或感觉不到它。

虽然地球表面70％是水覆盖着，世界上仍有许多地方缺水。所以我们要好好利用地球上的水。

Now more and more children in the countryside are out of school. One of the reasons is that their parents havent much money to afford their school. They have to stay at home to earn money to support their families. What a pity! And another reason is that many parents think it is useless for girls to study and they would not like them to go to school. On the other hand, some children are not interested in their lessons and would not like to go to school.

I think all the children, including girls, should have the right to receive education. We have the duty to lend them a hand when they are in trouble. All the people should pay attention to the education of children who will play a very important part in the future of our country.

现在，越来越多的农村孩子失学了。一个原因是因为他们的父母没有很多的钱供他们上学，他们不得不在家里赚钱养家。太可怜了。另外叶个原因就是很多家长都认为读书对女孩子没用，所以不让她们读书。另一方面，一些孩子对功课不感兴趣，不愿上学。

我认为所有的孩子(包括女孩)都有权利接受教育。我们有义务在他们困难时伸出手来帮助他们。人们应当重视孩子的教育问题，因为他们对国家的未来将起到非常重要的作用。

Now in the country areas, there are more and more children out of school. The reasons vary. First, many of the parents are too poor to send their children to school and children have to stay at home to get money to support their families. Second, many parents think it useless for girls to study and they would not like them to go to school. Finally, some children are not interested in their lessons and would not like to go school.

I think children are the future of our country and all the children including girls should have the opportunities to receive education. Knowledge can change the life of a person. I hope more attention will be paid to the solution of the problem, because children will play a very important part in the future of our country.

现在在农村，越来越多的孩子失学了。造成这种情况的原因很多。首先，许多父母太穷了，无法送他们的孩子上学，孩子们不得不在家赚钱养家。另外一个原因是很多家长都认为读书对女孩子无用，所以不让她们读书。最后一个原因是有些孩子对功课不感兴趣，不愿上学。

我认为孩子是国家的未来，所有的孩子(包括女孩)都应有机会接受教育。知识能改变人的命运。我希望人们应更重视孩子上学问题的解决，因为他们对国家的未来将起到非常重要的作用。

成人教育的繁荣 A Boom in Adult education

A Boom in Adult education

Directions： For this part you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic A Boom in Adult Education. You should write no less than 150 words and you should base your composition on the outline （given in Chinese） below：

1.现在许多成年人都利用业余时间去大学或夜校读书

2.出现这种成人教育热的原因是……

3.结论

范文：

A Boom in Adult Education

Every Tuesday and Friday evening sees Miss Li， my neighbor and a secretary in a company rush home after a hard days work， gulp down her meals and then hurry out to catch the bus for her English class. Miss Lis case is not unique， and now more and more city adults spend their leisure time trying to improve themselves at school or college.

There are a number of reasons for people to go back for their education. Some people， like Miss Li， are doing it to acquire another degree or diploma to impress the society. To them more knowledge， or rather， more credentials means more opportunities for better jobs and quicker promotion.

Other people， especially those who are laid off or out of employment go to vocational school to prepare to return to the job market. They are eager for new skills so that they can be qualified for the jobs in retail trade， administration， education and other service categories to which they are strange because most of them were blue-collar workers in the factory.

There are also people who come to take such courses as Chinese traditional medicine， painting， calligraphy and photography. As their working weeks decline people begin to have time to fulfill their old dream of their hearts desire.

Out of necessity or out of interest， people go back to school for the common goal——to improve themselves， and this boom in adult education， in turn， helps to raise the intellectual standard of the whole country.

成人教育的繁荣

每个星期二和星期五晚上看到李小姐，一天的辛苦工作之后，我的邻居，在一个公司赶回家，一个秘书，吞下她吃饭然后赶紧去车上她的英语课。李小姐的情况并非独特，现在越来越多的城市成年人度过他们的业余时间，试图提高自己在学校或学院。

有很多理由可以为他们的教育。有些人，如李小姐，都在做这件事来获得另一个学位或文凭来给社会留下深刻印象。对他们更多的知识，或者说，更多的证书意味着更多的机会，更好的工作和更快的晋升。

其他人，特别是下岗或失业的人去职业学校，准备回到就业市场。他们渴望新的技能，使他们能够胜任在零售行业，管理，教育和其他服务类的工作，他们是奇怪的，因为他们大多是蓝领工人在工厂。

也有人前来参加中国传统医学、绘画、书法、摄影等课程。当他们工作周的时候，人们开始有时间来满足他们对他们内心的渴望的梦想。

出于必要或出于兴趣，人们为了共同的目标去上学，为了提高自己，而这一热潮在成人教育，反过来，有助于提高整个国家的智力水平。

August 15 is one of the most important festivals of the Chinese nation -- the Mid-Autumn festival. On that day, people ate moon cakes, the moon, some places and lanterns, very lively.

The reason for the Mid-Autumn festival is that August is the second month of the autumn, the ancient time is called midautumn, because it is in the autumn and the middle of August, the folk are called Mid-Autumn festival.

On the eve of the Mid-Autumn festival, relatives and friends give gifts to each other, because moon cakes symbolize reunion. The styles of mooncakes are also full of beautiful fruit, such as pineapple, red dates, orange, and my favorite ice moon cakes...

On the day of the Mid-Autumn festival, people bought all kinds of things except moon cakes. Most of them were eaten. In the evening, the family ate reunion dinner, looking forward to the dark sky, hoping the moon would come out earlier.

At night, the moon came out, like a large disk. At this time, the family moved the tables and chairs and tea sets to the balcony, and all kinds of mooncakes were taken together. They looked at the moon, and remembered their loved ones who could not go home. Some people raise a cup in the moonlight, the hope is good; Fireworks rise and bloom in the night sky!

The Mid-Autumn festival is a joyous occasion for our family. It is a time for us to miss our loved ones. It is an indelible day.

To begin withpeople lose jobs when machines take their placesespecially in the mass production industry such as automobile business.In factories of the famous car company Fordalmost every step of car making is done by giant robots that work faster with higher reliability and precision than human labor.Because of the adoption of robotsthousands of workers are put out of their old jobs and forced to make changes in their work.Even such changes create job opportunities because robots need people to take care of and operatethe number of new jobs is much smaller than that of lostthus causing huge pressure on the labor market and government.

People become less smart because of the wide use of machines in their life.Nowadays people need to use their brain less than they did in the past.Everything is programmed and the only thing we need to do is to push a button or throw on a switch.This has given us great convenience but made us lazier and less smart.Everyone has the awkward moment troubling with the spelling of a simple word when writing with a pen.But with a computerit will automatically proofread the spelling and grammar of your writing.So people become less concerned with learning things right.This is not a progress but a regress of our intelligence and culture.

But machines have many benefits that nobody can deny such as great work efficiency and low cost of mass production.The workload that could take months to finish by manual labor could be done flawlessly by robots in minutes.We have more purchasing power to enjoy a wider variety of goods and services because of the reduction of production costs with factories using machines.Other benefits include that machines could do dangerous jobs for people in high risk businesses like mining and construction.

To concludemachines have many merits that make our life easier and more convenientbut they have caused many problems such as undercutting our job opportunities and overdependence on machines.

机器人等智能机器正越来越多地被使用，他们可以做许多人类以前做过的事情，讨论它的好处和危险.。

几个世纪以来，人们就幻想，有一天也有智慧的机器能像人类工作和忠实的仆人。今天，这个梦想已经在许多领域由于研究人工智能的迅速发展成真。这似乎是最棒的，机器有问题。

首先，人们失去工作的机器取代他们的位置的时候，特别是在大规模生产汽车行业等业务。在著名的福特汽车公司的汽车制造工厂，几乎每一步都是由巨型机器人工作速度比人力更高的可靠性和精度。由于采用机器人，把从他们的旧的工作和被迫改变他们的工作是成千上万的工人。即使这样的变化创造就业机会，因为机器人需要人照顾和操作，新增工作岗位的数量要小得多的流失，造成巨大的压力对劳动力市场和政府。

聪明的人越来越少，因为机器在他们的生活中广泛使用。现在人们需要使用他们的大脑比他们在过去所做的，一切都是程序，我们唯一需要做的就是按下一个按钮或扔在一个开关。这给了我们很大的便利，却使我们越来越不聪明的。每个人都有尴尬的时刻困扰的一个简单的单词拼写时用钢笔写。但有一个计算机，它会自动检查拼写和语法的写作。这样的人越来越少，学习有关的事情。这不是进步而是倒退了我们的智力和文化。

但是机器有许多好处，没有人可以否认大工作效率和低成本大批量生产。工作量可能需要几个月时间才能完成的体力劳动可以完美无缺的机器人以分钟完成。我们有了更多的购买力来享受更多种类的商品和服务的生产成本和工厂使用机器减少。其他的福利包括机器可以做高风险业务如采矿和建筑的人危险的工作。

最后，机器有许多优点，使我们的生活更轻松、更方便，但会引起如削弱我们的工作机会和过度依赖机器的许多问题。

一、 主题句原则

国有其君，家有其主，文章也要有其主。否则会给人造成“群龙无首”之感!相信各位读过一些破烂文学，故意把主体隐藏在文章之内，结果造成我们稀里糊涂!不知所云!所以奉劝各位一定要写一个主题句，放在文章的开头(保险型)或者结尾，让读者一目了然，必会平安无事!

特别提示：隐藏主体句可是要冒险的!

To begin with, you must work hard at your lessons and be fully prepared before the exam(主题句).

Without sufficient preparation, you can hardly expect to answer all the questions correctly.

二、 长短句原则

工作还得一张一驰呢，老让读者读长句，累死人!写一个短小精辟的句子，相反，却可以起到画龙点睛的作用。而且如果我们把短句放在段首或者段末，也可以揭示主题：

As a creature, I eat; as a man, I read. Although one action is to meet the primary need of my body and the other is to satisfy the intellectual need of mind, they are in a way quite similar.

如此可见，长短句结合，抑扬顿挫，岂不爽哉?牢记!

强烈建议：在文章第一段(开头)用一长一短，且先长后短;在文章主体部分，要先用一个短句解释主要意思，然后在阐述几个要点的时候采用先短后长的句群形式，定会让主体部分妙笔生辉!文章结尾一般用一长一短就可以了。

三、 一二三原则

领导讲话总是第一部分、第一点、第二点、第三点、第二部分、第一点…如此罗嗦。可毕竟还是条理清楚。考官们看文章也必然要通过这些关键性的“标签”来判定你的文章是否结构清楚，条理自然。破解方法很简单，只要把下面任何一组的词汇加入到你的几个要点前就清楚了。

1)first, second, third, last(不推荐，原因：俗)

2)firstly, secondly, thirdly, finally(不推荐，原因：俗)

3)the first, the second, the third, the last(不推荐，原因：俗)

4)in the first place, in the second place, in the third place, lastly(不推荐，原因：俗)

5)to begin with, then, furthermore, finally(强烈推荐)

6)to start with, next, in addition, finally(强烈推荐)

7)first and foremost, besides, last but not least(强烈推荐)

8)most important of all, moreover, finally

9)on the one hand, on the other hand(适用于两点的情况)

10)for one thing, for another thing(适用于两点的情况)

建议：不仅仅在写作中注意，平时说话的时候也应该条理清楚!

四、 短语优先原则

写作时，尤其是在考试时，如果使用短语，有两个好处：其一、用短语会使文章增加亮点，如果老师们看到你的文章太简单，看不到一个自己不认识的短语，必然会看你低一等。相反，如果发现亮点—精彩的短语，那么你的文章定会得高分了。其二、关键时刻思维短路，只有凑字数，怎么办?用短语是一个办法!比如：

I cannot bear it.

可以用短语表达：I cannot put up with it.

I want it.

可以用短语表达：I am looking forward to it.

这样字数明显增加，表达也更准确。

五、 多实少虚原则

原因很简单，写文章还是应该写一些实际的东西，不要空话连篇。这就要求一定要多用实词，少用虚词。我这里所说的虚词就是指那些比较大的词。比如我们说一个很好的时候，不应该之说nice这样空洞的词，应该使用一些诸如generous, humorous, interesting, smart, gentle, warm-hearted, hospital 之类的形象词。再比如：

走出房间，general的词是：walk out of the room

但是小偷走出房间应该说：slip out of the room

小姐走出房间应该说：sail out of the room

小孩走出房间应该说：dance out of the room

老人走出房间应该说：stagger out of the room

所以多用实词，少用虚词，文章将会大放异彩!

六、 多变句式原则

1)加法(串联)

都希望写下很长的句子，像个老外似的，可就是怕写错，怎么办，最保险的写长句的方法就是这些，可以在任何句子之间加and, 但最好是前后的句子又先后关系或者并列关系。

比如说： I enjor music and he is fond of playing guitar. 如果是二者并列的，我们可以用一个超级句式：Not only the fur coat is soft, but it is also warm. 其它的短语可以用：besides, furthermore, likewise, moreover

2)转折(拐弯抹角)

批评某人缺点的时候，我们总习惯先拐弯抹角说说他的优点，然后转入正题，再说缺点，这种方式虽然阴险了点，可毕竟还比较容易让人接受。所以呢，我们说话的时候，只要在要点之前先来点废话，注意二者之间用个专这次就够了。

The car was quite old, yet it was in excellent condition.

The coat was thin, but it was warm.

更多的短语：despite that, still, however, nevertheless, in spite of, despite, not with standing

3)因果(so, so, so)

昨天在街上我看到了一个女孩，然后我主动搭讪，然后我们去咖啡厅，然后我们认识了，然后我们成为了朋友…可见，讲故事的时候我们总要追求先后顺序，先什么，后什么，所以然后这个词就变得很常见了。其实这个词表示的是先后或因果关系!

The snow began to fall, so we went home.

更多短语：then, therefore, consequently, accordingly, hence, as a result, for this reason, so that

4)失衡句(头重脚轻，或者头轻脚重)

有些人脑袋大，身体小，或者有些人脑袋小，身体大，虽然我们不希望长成这个样子，可如果真的是这样了，也就必然会吸引别人的注意力。文章中如果出现这样的句子，就更会让考官看到你的句子与众不同。其实就是主语从句，表语从句，宾语从句的变形。

举例：This is what I can do.

Whether he can go with us or not is not sure.

同样主语、宾语、表语可以改成如下的复杂成分：

When to go, Why he goes away…

5)附加(多此一举)

如果有了老婆，总会遇到这样的情况，当你再讲某个人的时候，她会插一句说，我昨天见过他;或者说，就是某某某，如果把老婆的话插入到我们的话里面，那就是定语从句和同位语从句或者是插入语。

The man whom you met yesterday is a friend of mine.

I don’t enjoy that book you are reading.

Mr liu, our oral English teacher, is easy-going.

其实很简单，同位语--要解释的东西删除后不影响整个句子的构成;定语从句—借用之前的关键词并且用其重新组成一个句子插入其中，但是whom or that 关键词必须要紧跟在先行词之前。

6)排比(排山倒海句)

文学作品中最吸引人的地方莫过于此，如果非要让你的文章更加精彩的话，那么我希望你引用一个个的排比句，一个个得对偶句，一个个的不定式，一个个地词，一个个的短语，如此表达将会使文章有排山倒海之势!

Whether your tastes are modern or traditional, sophisticated or simple, there is plenty in London for you.

Nowadays, energy can be obtained through various sources such as oil, coal, natural gas, solar heat, the wind and ocean tides.

We have got to study hard, to enlarge our scope of knowledge, to realize our potentials and to pay for our life. (气势恢宏)

要想写出如此气势恢宏的句子非用排比不可!

七、 挑战极限原则

既然是挑战极限，必然是比较难的，但是并非不可攀!

原理：在学生的文章中，很少发现诸如独立主格的句子，其实也很简单，只要花上5分钟的时间看看就可以领会，它就是分词的一种特殊形式，分词要求主语一致，而独立主格则不然。比如：

The weather being fine, a large number of people went to climb the Western Hills.

Africa is the second largest continent, its size being about three times that of China.

如果您可一些出这样的句子，不得高分才怪!

导语：众人拾柴火焰高，团队的力量是强大的，下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的有关团队的英语作文，欢迎阅读与借鉴，谢谢!

As teamwork is increasingly important in modern society，everyone should train his ability to cooperate with others.

Todays society is no longer a self-sufficient one，but one in which all the people depend on each other for existence.Only for existence，not to mention the pursuit and obtainment of happiness，one cant do without the ability to work harmoniously with others.In the highly developed society today，one can almost accomplish nothing without joint efforts.Every loaf of bread，every article of clothes，every house or apartment，every means of transportation is the product of cooperative efforts.We play with other children in kindergartens;we study with our classmates at schools;and we will work with our fellow workers or colleagues in factories or companies. What we have got through teamwork is not only self-improvement，personal success but also the satisfaction at both our devotion to common causes and the sense of collective honor.

To meet the needs of both personal improvement and the sophisticated society，we should learn to cooperate with each other and adjust to each other.Only in this way can we achieve successes and satisfy ourselves as well as the society.

【参考译文】

在现代社会中团队精神越来越重要，每个人都应该培养自己与他人合作的能力。

当今社会不再是自给自足的，所有的人都是互相依存。只为了生存，更不用说追求与获得幸福就这样了，人不能缺乏与他人和谐相处的能力。在今天高度发达的社会，没有共同努力一个人几乎是一事无成。每一块面包，每一件衣服，每一个房子或公寓，各种交通运输工具都是团队努力的结果。我们在幼儿园与其他小孩一起玩;我们在学校和我们的同学一起学习;我们将与我们的伙伴或在工厂或公司的同事一起工作。通过团队合作我们得到了什么，不仅是自我完善，个人成功，而且也有共同目标的的贡献和集体荣誉感的满足。

为了同时满足个人完善和复杂的社会需求，我们应该学会互相合作和互相适应。只有这样我们才能获得成功，满足自己和社会。

【试题点评】

今年的书面表达题目延续山东省一贯的提纲作文命题习惯，时隔一年之后重新回到“书信题”的大框架中，考了一篇“以道歉信为外衣，以活动安排为主体段”的提纲作文，相当于10年山东卷(道歉信)和07年四川卷(假期安排)和合体。这种作文是我们平时经常练习的，因此套路很完善、套话很丰富。此外，本文中需要同学们翻译的难句不多，因此，只要在备考过程中有意识地了解过高考英语作文的提分方法，掌握了常用的亮点词汇、加分句型和过渡词，并加以针对性训练，这道题目应该不难写。

【经典套路】

第一段：问候+写信背景+写信目的

第二段：“道歉”部分(相当于“写信背景”)

第三段：“假期安排”部分

第四段：补充说明+客套话

【高分范文】

Dear Tom,

How are you doing? (问候) You asked me in your last letter about my plan for the coming summer vacation.(写信背景) I am sorry that I didn’t reply without delay.(写信目的)

How I wish I would read and reply your email as soon as I received it. However, I was busy preparing for my final exam at that time, which is vital for me. As a result, I had no choice but to completely focus on my study. I believe that if you were me, you would make the same choice.(第二段为道歉信常见套路)

By the way, I have a busy schedule for my summer vacation.(主题句) First and foremost, I would do a part time job, so that my interpersonal skills would be improved.(拓展句1) Additionally, I will take a short trip to Beijing to take a summer course in the New Oriental School.(拓展句2) Last but not least, maybe I will work as a volunteer for the school as a teaching assistant.(拓展句3)

These are my plan for the summer vacation. What’s yours? I am looking forward to your earliest reply.(以合理的客套话结尾)

还记得这句英文谚语"Never judge a book by its cover"吗 下面四幅图就描述了这样一个故事.假设你是第一幅图中左边的男孩,站在右边的是你的朋友Jack,你的妈妈一开始因为他的穿着打扮很不喜欢他,可是后来又发生了什么呢

请根据图画写一篇日记,并适当加以评论,发表自己的看法.

词数:100

Possible Version:

March 21th Sunday Sunny

My new friend Jack is a fashion follower who often wears strange clothes and long hair. But my mother drove him away from our flat at the first sight yesterday. She thought he was a bad person, although she didnt know him at all.

However, mom totally changed her mind this morning. When we were walking down the street near our home, we witnessed an accident. A boy was hit by a car when he was walking across the road with headphones. Many people saw it, but at first no one knew how to help. Then someone rushed forwards and covered the boy with his coat to keep warm. He looked after him well until the ambulance came. It was Jack! His calmness and seasoned first aid skills moved mom. She went and apolpgized to Jack for her former attitute, and told him that he was always welcome to our home.

That gives me a lesson. The appearance may reflect ones interest, but it isnt the symbol of ones quality. We should never judge a book with its cover.

可能版本：

三月二十一日星期日晴

我的新朋友杰克是一个时尚的追随者经常穿着奇怪的衣服，长长的头发。但是我妈妈昨天第一眼就把他从我们的公寓里赶走了。她认为他是个坏人，虽然她根本不认识他。

然而，今天早上妈妈完全改变了主意。当我们走在我们家附近的街道时，我们目睹了一场事故。一个男孩被一辆汽车撞在马路上时，戴着耳机。很多人看到它，但在第一，没有人知道如何帮助。然后有人冲了上去，用外套盖住了那个男孩，以保持温暖。他很好的照顾了他，直到救护车来了。这是杰克！他冷静和老练的急救技巧感动了妈妈。她为她以前对杰克的态度道歉，并告诉他，他总是欢迎我回家。

这给了我一个教训。外表可以反映一个人的兴趣，但这不是一个人素质的象征。我们决不应该用它的封面来判断一本书。

The Best Kind of Love

i’m young again!” she shouts euberantly.as my friend raves on about her new love, i’ve taken a good look at my old one. my husband of almost 20 years, scott, has gained 15 pounds. once a marathon runner, he now runs only down hospital halls. his hairline is receding and his body shows the signs of long working hours and too many candy bars. yet he can still give me a certain look across a restaurant table and i want to ask for the check and head home.

when my friend asked me “what will make this love last?” i ran through all the obvious reasons: commitment, shared interests, unselfishness, physical attraction, communication. yet there’s more. we still have fun. spontaneous good times. yesterday, after slipping the rubber band off the rolled up newspaper, scott flipped it playfully at me: this led to an all-out war. last saturday at the grocery, we split the list and raced each other to see who could make it to the checkout first. even washing dishes can be a blast. we enjoy simply being together.and there are surprises. one time i came home to find a note on the front door that led me to another note, then another, until i reached the walk-in closet. i opened the door to find scott holding a “pot of gold” (my cooking kettle) and the “treasure” of a gift package. sometimes i leave him notes on the mirror and little presents under his pillow.there is understanding. i understand why he must play basketball with the guys. and he understands why, once a year, i must get away from the house, the kids -and even him -to meet my sisters for a few days of nonstop talking and laughing.

there is sharing. not only do we share household worries and parental burdens - we also share ideas. scott came home from a convention last month and presented me with a thick historical novel. though he prefers thrillers and science fiction, he had read the novel on the plane. he touched my heart when he eplained it was because he wanted to be able to echange ideas about the book after i’d read it.

there is forgiveness. when i’m embarrasssingly loud and crazy at parties, scott forgives me. when he confessed losing some of our savings in the stock market, i gave him a hug and said, “it’s okay. it’s only money.”there is sensitivity. last week he walked through the door with that look that tells me it’s been a tough day. after he spent some time with the kids, i asked him what happened. he told me about a 60-year-old woman who’d had a stroke. he wept as he recalled the woman’s husband standing beside her bed, caressing her hand. how was he going to tell this husband of 40 years that his wife would probably never recover? i shed a few tears myself. because of the medical crisis. because there were still people who have been married 40 years. because my husband is still moved and concerned after years of hospital rooms and dying patients.

there is faith. last tuesday a friend came over and confessed her fear that her husband is losing his courageous battle with cancer. on wednesday i went to lunch with a friend who is struggling to reshape her life after divorce. on thursday a neighbor called to talk about the frightening effects of alzheimer’s disease on her father-in-law’s personality. on friday a childhood friend called long-distance to tell me her father had died. i hung up the phone and thought, this is too much heartache for one week. through my tears, as i went out to run some errands, i noticed the boisterous orange blossoms of the gladiolus outside my window. i heard the delighted laughter of my son and his friend as they played. i caught sight of a wedding party emerging from a neighbor’s house. the bride, dressed in satin and lace, tossed her bouquet to her cheering friends. that night, i told my husband about these events. we helped each other acknowledge the cycles of life and that the joys counter the sorrows. it was enough to keep us going.finally, there is knowing. i know scott will throw his laundry just shy of the hamper every night; he’ll be late to most appointments and eat the last chocolate in the bo. he knows that i sleep with a pillow over my head; i’ll lock us out of the house at a regular basis, and i will also eat the last chocolate.

i guess our love lasts because it is comfortable. no, the sky is not bluer: it’s just a familiar hue. we don’t feel particularly young: we’ve eperienced too much that has contributed to our growth and wisdom, taking its toll on our bodies, and created our memories.i hope we’ve got what it takes to make our love last. as a bride, i had scott’s wedding band engraved with robert browning’s line “grow old along with me!” we’re following those instructions.

“if anything is real, the heart will make it plain.”
