Since I was very small, my parents sent me to learn painting. They thought

I could understand art and mastered one skill. This experience brings me the

sense of art. I have my own understanding of it.

On the one hand, art is an important way to express peoples opinion. When

we see the pictures, the difference between classical and ordinary paintings

lies in the thoughts. The famous artists implant their ideas in the pictures,

which are admitted by the public, so the value of arts can be seen. Some famous

artists expressed their unique opinion and gives arts great meaning.

On the other hand, art is not only from works, but also from life. For

example, my mother cooks the delicious food. Everybody speaks highly of her. So

her food brings people great happiness, which makes the food an art for me.

Whats more, my friends is good at communicating. The way she talks can convince

other easily, so I call the way she communicates as an art.

In all, for me, art is around. It brings people a way to see the world or

makes our life wonderful.

In Chinese Spring Festival Gala, the song of Where Has the Time Gone became popular.

The words are so touching that when people listen to this song, many memories will come out.

For our parents’ generation, they married, raised the kids and then watched them become independent, how time flies.

It is just like that they became parents yesterday, and then they become grandparents today.

Time flies so fast that they don’t realize they are old. I am so thankful to my parents, for they do so many things for me.

I want to return their love, so I must become more independent and mature. So that my parents will be less worried about me and can go travel to enjoy their lives. For me, I want to cherish every moment, enjoy my own life and let the time go more slowly.

在中国的春节联欢晚会上,歌曲“时间都去哪儿了”很受欢迎。歌词很动人,以至于人们听到歌曲的时候,很多记忆都涌现出来。

对于我们父母那一代人来说,他们结婚,生孩子,然后看着孩子独立,时间过得真快啊。一切就如他们昨天成为父母,然后今天就成为了祖父母。

时间过的如此的快,他们都没有意识到自己老了。我很感激父母,因为他们为了做了那么多事情。

我想要回报他们的爱,所以我必须变得更加的独立和成熟。这样父母就不用为我操那么多的心,可以去旅游,享受生活。对于我来说,我想要珍惜每一刻,享受我的生活,让时间走得慢些。

The establishment of World Environment Day shows people’s the cognition and the attitude to the environmental problem, and expresses our human beings’ desire of pursuing the better environment. Every year the United Nations Environment Program proposes a theme, and the 2014 theme of this day will focus on ‘Small Island and Climate change’ and the slogan is “Raise Your Voice Not the Sea Level”.

世界环境日,起始于1972年,它是联合国为了提高全球的环保意识而创建的。环境日的创立展现了人们对环境问题的认识和态度,表达了人们对美好环境的追求渴望。每一年联合国环境规划署都会提出一个环境日主题,而的主题主要着重于小岛屿与气候变化,今年的口号是“提高你的呼声,而不是海平面”。

World Environment Day can be celebrated in lots of ways, for instances, planting trees, doing some recycling, participating the clean-up campaigns and so on. Certainly people can also do something simple, like going to work by bus instead of private cars. I believe if everyone takes environmental actions as a habit, we are doing a big difference for the better environment.庆祝世界环境日的方式多种多样,例如植树,对废物进行循环利用,参加清洁行动等等。

当然,人们也可以做些简单的小事来纪念,比如说不做私家车上班,改乘公交车去上班。我相信只要大家都将这些环保小事当作习惯,我们将会为建造美好环境做出重大贡献。

我们要保护动物,特别是小鸡这类弱小的动物,因为小鸡早晨可以叫我们起床,可以生一个又一个圆圆的的鸡蛋,还可以提供鸡肉给我们吃。

We need to protect the small animal, especially this kind of small animal chicken, because chicken morning to wake us up, can have a round egg, can also provide for us to eat chicken.

有一次,我和妈妈上菜市场,听见一位老奶奶在喊:“卖鸡了,今天的鸡又肥又嫩!”妈妈说:“今天,我们买一只鸡回家,炖汤喝。”我说:“好吧。”可又想了想:如果我们吃了鸡,那么就吃不到鸡蛋了,就对妈妈说:“不行,吃了鸡就没有鸡蛋吃了。”“傻孩子,你瞎操什么心啊!”妈妈不由分说地把我拉到卖鸡的那边。卖鸡的老奶奶正在杀鸡,只见她拔下鸡脖子上的毛,拿刀用力地在鸡脖子上划了几下。血喷向了四周,鸡挣扎了几下就死了。“太残忍了,我不要吃鸡!”我向妈妈大声的抗议。“好吧,不买了,我们就去买点蔬菜吧。”也许妈妈也觉得残忍,就同意了。

One time, my mother and I heard the food market, an old woman shouted: "chicken, chicken fat and tender today!" Mother said: "today, we bought a chicken soup to drink at home." I said: "OK." But think again: if we eat chicken, so cant eat the egg, the mother said: "no, not eat chicken egg to eat." "Silly boy, what do you care ah!" Mother allowing no explanation to put me into the chicken. The old woman was a chicken, she pulled out the hair on the neck, a knife in the neck with a few strokes under. Blood sprayed around chicken, struggled and died. "So cruel, I dont eat chicken!" I asked my mother loudly protested. "Well, do not buy, we went to buy some vegetables." Maybe mom was cruel, also agreed.

假如我们的生活中没有了动物,世界就会变得很孤独。我们要保护动物,从自身做起:少吃肉类食品,少穿皮衣毛衣;看见别人欺负动物,要勇敢地站出来劝说他们。

If we live without the animal, the world will become very lonely. We must protect the animal, start from their own: eat less meat, less wear fur sweaters; see others bully animal, we should stand up to persuade them.

保护动物,人人有责!

The following words were written on the tomb of an Anglican Bishop in the Crypts of Westminister Abbey:

When I was young and free and my imagination had no limits, I dreamed of changing the world. As I grew older and wiser, I discovered the world would not change, so I shortened my sights somewhat and decided to change only my country.

But it, too, seemed immovable.

As I grew into my twilight years, in one last desperate attempt, I settled for changing only my family, those closest to me, but alas, they would have none of it.

And now as I lie on my deathbed, I suddenly realize: If I had only changed myself first, then by example I would have changed my family.

From their inspiration and encouragement, I would then have been able to better my country and, who knows, I may have even changed the world.

下面语句是刻在威斯敏斯特教堂英国圣公会主教坟墓上的话:

在懵懂的童年时期,我们胸怀梦想,相信自己的力量可以改变世界。后来,我们渐渐长大成熟,经历了生活的艰辛,明白了世无定事,感到了自己的渺小,我们的梦想也从“改变世界”降格成“改变家庭”,最终定位成“改变自己”。但我们实在不该低估自己,因为在我们改变自己的同时也潜移默化地影响着家庭,而作为世界的一分子,从某个角度来讲,我们也正改变着世界。
