Dumpling is a traditional Chinese food.On the lunar New Year s Day,most

families make a lot of delicious dumplings.To make them,follow this easy

process.

The first step is to mix the flour with water.When the dough is ready,we

can begin to make dumpling wrappers.We use a rolling pole to roll the dough into

small,thin and round pieces so that they will be easy to cook.When the wrappers

are done,it s time to prepare the filling.Usually,we use meat such as beef or

mutton,and some vegetables such as cabbage or carrots for filling.You may

actually choose whatever you like to put into it.We must chop those things into

small pieces.Then put some salt,oil and other condiments into it and stir it

evenly.When all these preparations are done,we can start making dumplings.First

put a spoonful of filling in the center of the wrapper.Then stick the two

opposite sides together and then the rest.Don t just cover the filling with the

wrappers.The best shape of dumplings is that of a ship,because when they are

boiling in the pan,they look like ships sailing in the sea.The smell can make

your mouth water.

I was waiting for the doctor to finish his examination.I was worried and

nervous.Would my father have to operate?Would a blood transfusion be

necessary?What would he have to say?

Dr Lin was a heart expert.He was an excellent doctor and his examinations

were always complete.He listened to the patients heart,took his blood pressure

and temperature,gave him an X-ray and examined his eyes and ears.The doctor

finall completed his examination and spoke to me.He told me that heart trouble

is never a minor illness,but this wasnt a serious heart attack.He advised

losing weight,getting plenty of sleep and eating good meals.Smoking and drinking

would be harmful,of course.Dr Lin said it would be necessary to be careful for a

while,but he was confident that there was nothing to worry about.

can still live for a long time if he takes good care of himself.

As the whole world has its boundaries, limits and freedom coexist in our life. I don’t expect complete freedom, which is impossible. I simply have a dream that supports my life.I dream that one day, I could escape from the deep sea of thick schoolbooks and lead my own life. With my favorite fictions, I lie freely on the green grass, smelling the spring, listening to the wind singing, breathing the fresh and cool air and dissolve my soul in nature at last. Simple and short enjoyment can bring me great satisfaction.I dream that one day the adults could throw their prejudice of comic and cartoon away. They could keep a lovely heart that can share sorrow and happiness with us while watching cartoon or doing personal things. That’s the real communication of heart to heart.

I have the belief that my dreams should come true. I am looking forward to some day coming when I am like a proud eagle, which flies to the blue and vast sky.

我的妈妈温柔的时候，简直就是一个高贵美丽的公主。但是一凶起来，比巫婆还有恐怖一百倍，跟母老虎不相上下。这时候，我的皮就要绷紧一点，别惹到她，乖乖的躲起来，免得遭殃。

When my mother was a gentle, noble and beautiful princess. But the evil, than a witch and horror one hundred times, comparable with the tiger. At this time, my skin to tighten a little, dont bother her, just hide, lest suffer.

她跟爸爸是同龄的，两个人很相像。对我好的时候，天上的星星都会为我摘下来，可是凶起来，根本没把我当成宝贝儿子，简直六亲不认。

She and her fathers age, two people are very similar. It is good to me, all the stars in the sky will be for me to pick, but evil, dont treat me as a baby son, almost no one.

大家都爱唱“妈妈的眼睛”这首歌，觉得妈妈的眼就像天上的星星，可是我的妈妈眼神犀利，比刀子还锐利，只要她用这种眼睛瞪我，我就毛骨悚然。

We all love to sing "my mothers eyes" this song, my mothers eyes like stars in the sky, but my mother look sharp knife is sharp, than, as long as she is with the eyes staring at me, I will.

我妈讲话声音很像男生，沙哑低沉，虽然她的长相其实很美丽，如果她的声音也完美的话，那就是全宇宙最没得挑剔的妈妈了。

My mother speaks like boys, hoarse bass, although her face is very beautiful, if her voice is perfect, that is the whole universe have no particular mother.

我妈妈做家务很勤快，但是她有一怕。最怕老鼠，不管是大鼠、小暑、天竺鼠、小黑鼠，通通都怕，跟小叮当可以结拜了。不过，只有一种老鼠她不怕，你猜猜看!是“打地鼠”的“地鼠”，她打得可棒了，英勇无比。

I have many friends, but Jim is one of my best friends. He is not handsome,

but kind-hearted. We know each other at primary school. He was the tallest in

our class at that time. He is good at study and playing basketball, while bad at

playing table tennis. Everytime he has delicious food, he will give it to me.

Moreover, whenever I feel sad, he will play with me and comfort me. However, he

is not spoilt me. For example, everytime I meet difficulties in study, I would

like to copy his, but no matter what I say, he never give his homework to me to

copy. Instead he teaches how to do it. All in all, no matter what difficulties I

meet, he will help me. It is him make me realize that a friend in need is a

friend indeed.

My dream is to grow up to want to be a teacher, the teachers culture is very high, want to be a teacher is very not easy thing.

I do with my three heart can understand the teachers famous, respectively is careful. With your heart. Patience, their word is different, can be tightly connected. Do our homework every day, the teacher only see which questions carefully, you still need to have corrected the monitor to send back to us. In class, the same to our teacher li. She is very gentle. Considerate, sometimes the students in class not earnest, she will only in the class not seriously remind her, beside there is patience to endure yourself, this is a very difficult thing.

The teacher in class. Easy to write wrong words in the text. She is a while to teach us not to write wrong. When we want to have a new lesson next time, she always QianDingNing wan advised to say; "Preview the text to sketch word sequence and radical, but also write words manual, read the text. When meet dont know the words to the dictionary..." It is with the heart.

When the teacher how tired, I dont want to how much, when people do not one thing. All is how difficult! I grew up in is what I want to be a teacher, to teach students, I must let them contribute to the motherland, to add a bright homeland was, more brilliant!

我的梦想是长大想当老师，老师的文化非常高，想当老师是十分不简单事。

我用我的三种心能体会到做老师的幸苦，分别是细心。用心。耐心，他们的字不同，可意思是紧紧相连的。做老师每天要批改作业，只有细心地观察哪道题目，批改好了还要交给班长才发还给了我们。上课时，要向我们李老师一样。 她十分温柔。体贴，有时同学们上课不认真，她只会在那个上课不认真的人旁边提醒她一下，这有是耐心忍住了自己，这是个十分不容易的事儿。

老师上课的时候。课文中容易写错的生字。她是一边有一边地教我们不要写错了。当我们下次要上新课的时候，她总是要千叮咛万嘱咐地说;“预习课文要写生字的音序和音部首，还要写词语手册，读课文的时候。遇到不认识的字要查字典......”这又是用了用心。

当老师要怎么劳累，我一定不想怎么多，当人做没一件事的时候。都是多么困难啊! 我上长大就是要当老师，被我教过的学生，我一定要让他们为祖国做贡献，为灿烂的祖国曾添一笔，变得更灿烂!

The air we breathe is so freely available that we take it for granted. Yet without it we could not survive more than a few minutes. For the most part, the same air is available to everyone, and everyone needs it. Some people use the air to sustain them while they sit around and feel sorry for themselves. Others breathe in the air and use the energy it provides to make a magnificent life for themselves.

Opportunity is the same way. It is everywhere. Opportunity is so freely available that we take it for granted. Yet opportunity alone is not enough to create success. Opportunity must be seized and acted upon in order to have value. So many people are so anxious to "get in" on a "ground floor opportunity", as if the opportunity will do all the work. Thats impossible.

Just as you need air to breathe, you need opportunity to succeed. It takes more than just breathing in the fresh air of opportunity, however. You must make use of that opportunity. Thats not up to the opportunity. Thats up to you. It doesnt matter what "floor" the opportunity is on. What matters is what you do with it.

With the rapid development and the overpopulated in this society, more and

more people rushing into the big cities for personal development. So, the

housing problems in the big cities is becoming more and more serious.

In my humble opinion, there are several ways to slove this problems. First

of all, we can expend the cities, and build more apartment in the country. The

fresh air and clean water will attract young people to live there. What’ more,

the housing price will be lower than the big cities. Second, the government

should control the price of the house. If the house is too expensive, many

people may not be able to afford a house on their own. The government should

build some cheap apartment for the poor, the young people. Last but not least,

we should have more skyscapes, the land is limited, we need more space to

support people to have a good living condition.

A good living condition is the key to social stability. if our country have

enough houses, the pressure can be relieved to some degree. And our people can

live a better environment.

These two cartoons show two contrasting scenes. While the male student spends all his time and money playing Internet games, the female student studies diligently. One could easily argue that a bright future awaits the students who study hard, while those who waste tuition playing games have little to look forward to. The above images encourage students to value their time in school and take advantage of educational opportunities.

While students dream of being accepted into college for years, they often become lost once admitted. Without their parents‘ constant support and advice, or because of limited communication with teachers, many students are unable to focus on their future goals.

Such confusion leads some to forget their studies and resort to playing on the Internet, among other forms of recreation. Students should not only keep their ambitions in mind, but also seriously strive towards them. Without a clear purpose, one might easily waste crucial years neglecting one‘s studies.

Constantly playing on the Internet leads to failure, while continuously studying guarantees success. Students need to appreciate their time in school, and work hard in order to ensure a good future.

[对待时间的态度英语作文

Friends are important for us, everyone has their own friends, we share

sorrow and happiness with our friends. We are making new friends now and then,

but it is hard to find the genius friends, the trust between friends are hard to

build. If the trust exists, friends can talk anything, they are willing to show

who they are in front of their friends. While if the trust doesn’t exist, the

friendship is not real deep, people will ask you when they are in trouble. The

real friendship is built on the basis of trust. My best friend will never ask me

to do thing all the time, instead, she cares about me, and comforts me when I am

upset. That’s a real friend.

它给了小草滋润，小草回报了它一个绿色的梦，它给了花儿阳光雨露，花儿回报了它一个五彩缤纷的世界，它的存在代表了世界万物——太阳，她的存在给了我生活的起点，照亮了我的人生道路——我心中的太阳。

——题记

窗外，细雨蒙蒙，透过窗户，我看见一棵苍劲有力的树，准确的说是树上的一片新叶，它在风雨中含笑着，历经千辛万苦，它把所有的绿都献给了人间，它把自己毕生的辛劳化为一种奉献，它向大自然献出这么多，却从不向大自然奢求什么，它只要求一份土地让它落脚，是啊!人生的价值在于奉献，透过那片绿叶，我看到了更深沉的意义——母爱。

母亲一生都在繁忙中度过，为了我与姐姐的学习和生活，母亲不知操了多少心我，流了多少汗，在我的人生道路上，母亲为我 披荆斩棘，填平坎坷，为我照亮前进的道路，多少次，我被认人生的挫折压倒，无法自拔，是母亲，用她那劳累的肩膀帮我扛起，世界上最伟大、最私的爱莫过于母爱啊!

窗外的绿叶又在风雨中默默无闻地为大自然传播绿，母亲，也在远方继续为我铺平面的坎坷，她鼓舞了我、支持了我，她给了我理想，给了我希望，为我铺筑了一条绿色大道。 绿叶·母亲·我 母亲——我心中的太阳。 望着眼前一望无际的绿色大道，我思索着：我将何时才能走到那绿色的尽头呢?透过那片绿叶，我久久地望着，我等待着从那里看到新的人生目标，静静地等待着，静静地......从此，人生旅途中又多了一份义务绿叶·母亲·我——等待。

Time flies like an arrow before we realize it .It is known that nothing is more precious than time. The good old proverb time is money reminds us that time is valuable. When time goes by, it will never return. However, it is a pity that some people dont make full use of their time .They spend a lot of time in sleeping, chatting, playing computer games or other unmeaning matters. . They dont realize that wasting time is actually equal to killing themselves. They always regret not having made great achievements. One of the reasons may be they do not make good use of time. Therefore, in order to be successful, they should first get into the habit of being on time. It’s a sign of cherishing time. Dont put off what can be done today until tomorrow. Being lazy will eventually lead to failure. Dont wait, because you dont know how long it will take when you put off your plan.

Everyone has a family. We all live in there, and from there to get warm, there are six people in my family, my mother, father, grandfather, grandmother, sister, and me. We live a happy life together, our house has many interesting stories, especially mom and dad.

My father works hard. He is a driver, he always do his best to handle each car, try to make them comfortable. Sometimes, he worked too hard to forget to date.

My mother is a very bad memory. She would do a lot of housework, but sometimes because of her carelessness while doing something wrong. For example, one day, she use the washing machine wash his clothes, and finally found himself forgot to water in the washing machine.

Now let me tell you a funny thing: one day, the father thought as usual to get up early, but because he doesnt set the alarm clock the day before yesterday, so he got up late, when he woke up, he hurried to brush my teeth wash my face and went off to work, my father left, mother said to me mysteriously, "he must be back in a moment." "Why?" I am very surprised. "Because today is Sunday, his holiday." Mom just then, a little later, my father came back, and went to bed again, because he is too tired.

You see, what an interesting family! I hope you have a family like me.

每个人都有家。我们大家生活在那里，并从那里获取温暖，我们家有六口人，我妈妈、爸爸、爷爷、奶奶、妹妹，还有我。我们在一起幸福地生活，我们家有许多有趣的故事，特别是爸爸妈妈。

我爸爸工作认真。他是一名司机，他总是尽他最大的努力去搬运每一车的东西，尽力使他们舒服。有的时候，他工作太认真以致于忘了日期。

我妈妈是一位记性很不好的人。她总是做很多家务活，但有时却因为她的粗心而做错事。比如说，有一天，她用洗衣机洗衣服，最后却发现自己忘了在洗衣机中放水。

现在让我告诉你一件有趣的事：一天，爸爸想像平时一样早起，但是由于他前天没有设置闹钟，所以他起晚了，当他起床时，他匆匆忙忙地刷牙洗脸就去上班了，爸爸离开后，妈妈神秘地对我说：“他一会儿一定回来的。”“为什么?”我十分惊讶。“因为今天是星期天，他的假日。”妈妈正说着的时候，不一会儿，爸爸就回来了，并且再次上床睡觉了——因为他太累了。

你瞧，多么有趣的家庭!我希望你也有一个像我一样的家庭。

Dear Sir,

I am a December 2003 graduate from the University of San Francisco (USF) with a bachelors degree in International Business. As part of my career planning, I am very interested in supplementing my international business education with a basic knowledge of the Chinese language. This I hope will help me enter into business commerce with business organizations partnering with Chinas economic development.

I already have information from BLCU and hope to study there for at least one full year starting with this summers program continuing through the fall and spring semester 2006. Can your office advise me if such scholarships might be available to me?

I have been studying Chinese for one year now. I am not sure what level I belong to. I was told that there will be an HSK test in our university in September. I am planning to attend the test. But I dont know if the result of the test is recognized by your university. If so, can it be a help for me to apply for the scholarship?

I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Yours faithfully,

Tom Jolly

friendship can last forever.

绿色环境是健康的一种象征。绿色能带给我们生机、带给我们活力。我们的学校——镜湖小学，是一所绿色的学校。

在我们的校园里，到处都可以看见绿色：操场的隔离带，松树高大挺拔，一年四季都是披着绿色的长衣，铁树刺如针一般锋利;教学楼前后、大门前，也都有花坛和花园装饰，就连跑道旁都长满了许多碧绿的小草，和穿着红色衣服的枫树。

我们的学校有了绿色，好处还真是不少呀!同学们来到学校，都能呼吸清新的空气，使人心旷神怡。如果在考试前去绿荫边休息一会儿，让我们头脑清醒，说不定分数也会提高不少呢!

我们的校园里，花坛随处可见，其中最漂亮的就要数食堂旁的那个花园了。那里杨柳如丝，漂亮之至。在春秋季节，百花盛开，花香弥漫了整个校园。花园中间有个小池子，有许多沙子，风儿一吹，它们就飘了起来。

里面这美丽的景色可不是天然的，是我们学校的艺术工人精心设计的。在他们的手下，一簇簇绿色像画一样装饰着校园。我们每天负责把落叶，杂物清扫干净，让校园永远保持美丽，让这幅画永远保留下来。

怎么样，我们的绿色校园是不是很美，您若还不信，就快来参观参观吧。

the family had just moved to rhode island, and the young woman was feeling a little melancholy on that sunday in may. after all, it was mothers day -- and 800 miles separated her from her parents in ohio.

一家人刚移居罗德岛。5月的那个星期天， 年轻女人感到有点儿忧伤。毕竟， 这一天是母亲节─而她却与俄亥俄州的父母亲遥距800英里。

she had called her mother that morning to wish her a happy mothers day, and her mother had mentioned how colorful the yard was now that spring had arrived. as they talked, the younger woman could almost smell the tantalizing aroma of purple lilacs hanging on the big bush outside her parentsback door.

她那天早上给母亲打去电话， 祝母亲节日愉快。随后， 她的母亲向她提起， 因为春天已经来临， 所以院子里的色彩是多么绚丽。在她们通话的当儿， 年轻女人几乎可以闻到悬垂在父母亲后门外大灌木丛上的紫丁香醉人的芬芳。

later, when she mentioned to her husband how she missed those lilacs, he popped up from his chair. i know where we can find you all you want, he said. get the kids and cmon.

so off they went, driving the country roads of northern rhode island on the kind of day only mid-may can produce：sparkling sunshine, unclouded azure skies and vibrant newness of the green growing all around. they went past small villages and burgeoning housing developments, past abandoned apple orchards, back to where trees and brush have devoured old homesteads.

后来， 她向丈夫说起她是如何怀念那些紫丁香时， 他突然从椅子上跃起。我知道在哪儿能找到你想要的东西， 他说， 带上孩子， 走吧。

于是， 他们就出发了， 驱车行驶在罗德岛北部的乡村小路上， 那种天气只有5月中旬才会有：闪亮的阳光、蔚蓝色的晴空以及生机勃勃、随处可见的绿意。他们穿过一座座小村庄和一座座拔地而起的房屋， 穿过废弃的苹果园， 来到了树林和嗄敬匝谟车睦吓

where they stopped, dense thickets of cedars and ju nipers and birch crowded the roadway on both sides. there wasnt a lilac bush in sight.

come with me , the man said. over that hill is an old cellar hole, from somebodys farm of years ago, and there are lilacs all round it. the man who owns this land said i could poke around here anytime. im sure he wont mind if we pick a few lilacs.

他们停下车。车道两边长满了茂盛的雪松、杜松和白桦树。眼前没有一棵紫丁香。

随我来， 那个男人说， 翻过那座小山， 有个老地窖， 几年前是一个人的农场， 四周长满了紫丁香。这块地的主人说我可以随时到这儿来闲逛。我相信， 要是我们采几束紫丁香， 他不会介意。

before they got halfway up the hill, the fragrance of the lilacs drifted down to them, and the kids started running. soon, the mother began running, too, until she reached the top. there, far from view of passing motorists and hidden from encroaching civilization, were the towering lilacs bushes, so laden with the huge, cone-shaped flower clusters that they almost bent double. with a smile, the young woman rushed up to the nearest bush and buried her face in the flowers, drinking in the fragrance and the memories it recalled.

还没等他们到达半山腰， 紫丁香的芬芳已经向他们飘了过来。于是， 孩子们开始奔跑。不久， 那位母亲也开始跑起来， 直至到达山顶。

那里， 远离了过往司机的视野， 避开了纷扰的文明世界， 高耸的丁香花丛开满了硕大的圆锥形的串串花束， 几乎把花茎压成了两折。那个年轻女人微笑着冲到最近的一处花丛， 把脸埋在鲜花中， 啜饮着芳香， 陶醉在重新唤起的记忆中。

while the man examined the cellar hole and tried to explain to the children what the house must have looked like, the woman drifted among the lilacs. carefully, she chose a sprig here, another one there, and clipped them with her husbands pocket knife. she was in no hurry, relishing each blossom as a rare and delicate treasure. finally, though, they returned to their car for the trip home. while the kids chattered and the man drove, the woman sat smiling, surrounded by her flowers, a faraway look in her eyes.

在那个男人察看地窖试图向孩子们解释这座房子必定是什么样子的当儿， 那个女人不由自主地走进了紫丁香花丛。她小心翼翼地从这儿摘一枝， 那儿挑一束， 然后用丈夫的袖珍小刀将它们剪下来。她不慌不忙， 像欣赏稀有珍宝似地欣赏着每一朵花。

然而， 他们终于还是返回了汽车， 走上了回家的路。孩子们叽叽喳喳说个不停， 那个男人驾着车， 那个女人坐在那儿面带微笑， 她周围放满了鲜花， 眼睛里充满着向往。

when they were within three miles of home, she suddenly shouted to her husband, stop the car. stop right here! the man slammed on the brakes. before he could ask her why she wanted to stop, the woman was out of the car and hurrying up a nearby grassy slope with the lilacs still in her arms. at the top of the hill was a nursing home and, because it was such a beautiful spring day, the patients were outdoors strolling with relatives or sitting on the porch.

当他们离家不足3英里时， 她突然向丈夫大声喊道：停车， 就在这里停车!

那个男人嘎地刹住车。还没等他问为什么， 女人就已经下了车， 匆匆走向附近的草坡， 怀里仍抱着紫丁香。山顶上是一家疗养院， 因为这是一个美丽的春日， 所以病人正在室外和亲友溜达或坐在门廊上。

the young woman went to the end of the porch, where an elderly patient was sitting in her wheelchair, alone, head bowed, her back to most of the others. across the porch railing went the flowers, in to the lap of the old woman. she lifted her head, and smiled. for a few moments, the two women chatted, both aglow with happiness, and then the young woman turned and ran back to her family. as the car pulled away, the woman in the wheelchair waved, and clutched the lilacs.

那个年轻女人走到门廊的尽头， 只见那里有一个上了年纪的病人正坐在轮椅里， 独自一人， 低着头， 背对着其他人。年轻女人越过门廊栏杆， 将鲜花放在了老太太的膝间。老太太抬起头， 露出了笑脸。两个女人聊了一会儿， 都兴高采烈。随后， 那个年轻女人转身跑回到家人的身边。当汽车开动时， 坐在轮椅里的那个女人挥动着手， 手里紧紧地握着那束紫丁香花。

mom, the kids asked, who was that?why did you give her our flowers?is she somebodys mother?the mother said she didnt know the old woman. but it was mothers day, and she seemed so alone, and who wouldnt be cheered by flowers?besides, she added, i have all of you, and i still have my mother, even if she is far away. that woman needed those flowers more than i did.

this satisfied the kids, but not the husband. the next day he purchased half a dozen young lilacs bushes and planted them around their yard, and several times since then he has added more.

妈妈， 孩子们问， 那人是谁呀?你为什么把我们的花送给她?她是谁的母亲呀?他们的母亲说， 她不认识那个老太太， 但今天是母亲节， 她看起来是那么孤独， 而鲜花会给任何人带来好心情。再说， 她补充道， 我拥有你们， 而且我还有自己的母亲， 即使她离我很远。那个女人比我更需要那些鲜花。

孩子们得到了满意的答案， 但她的丈夫却没有。第二天， 他买了半打紫丁香幼苗， 栽到了院子四周;而且从那以后， 每隔一段时间， 他就会增加一些。

i was that man. the young mother was, and is, my wife. now, every may, our own yard is redolent with lilacs. every mothers day our kids gather purple bouquets. and every year i remember that smile on a lonely old womans face, and the kindness that put the smile there.

我就是那个男人， 那个年轻母亲是我妻子。如今， 每年5月， 我们自家的院子都会散发出浓烈的紫丁香的芬芳。每逢母亲节， 我们的孩子都要采撷紫丁香花束。而且每年我都会记起一位孤独的老太太脸上露出的笑容， 以及笑容里呈现出的那种慈祥。
