Today is Mothers 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.  参考翻译：

母亲节

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。

will christmas replace the spring festival？

christmas arouses increasing attention year by year in china. christmas cards become popular with students. people hold christmas parties and exchange christmas girts. a lot or tv and radio programs about christmas are on. meanwhile the spring festival is less appealing （有吸引力的）to youngsters. thus some people wonder whether christmas will replace the spring festival.

this worry is fairly unnecessary. why ？ one reason lies that christmas only affects christians，college students and joint-venture （合资企业）workers. another reason is that christmas is mostly celebrated in cities. few people in countryside show extreme interest in this exotic（带有异国情调的） festival. by contrast，the spring festival is the most influential traditional festival in every family.

Improve our environment

Good environment can make people feel happy. To improve the environment means to qualify our life . What should we do to improve our environment ?

We should plant more trees . And we should prevent those factories from pouring waste water into rivers , lakes and fields . Whenever we see litter on the ground , we should pick it up and throw it into a dustbin . Don’t spit in public places . Don’t draw on public walls . It’s our duty to keep our earth clean and tidy .

良好的环境能使人觉得愉快。改善环境，使我们的生活。我们应该做什么来改善我们的环境?

我们应该种更多的树。我们应该阻止那些工厂废水流入河流，湖泊和田野。每当我们看到地上的垃圾，我们应该把它捡起来扔到垃圾桶。不要在公共场所吐痰。不要在公共墙上画。这是我们的职责，保持地球的干净和整洁的。

Spring Festival is the most important, interesting festival in China.

Before the Spring Festival, everyone is very busy. They want the Spring Festival to be a new beginning, so everyone is busy cleaning the room. They keep the room tidy. This is the first thing to welcome the Spring Festival.

The elderly take children to buy snacks and fireworks. But parents just stay at home to make tasty meals for dinner. On the evening of New Year’s Eve, my parents and my sister have dinner with me. We have a good time. After dinner, Oh! Yeah! My father is ready to give us red pockets. Oh, how nice the red pockets are! My sister and I both all say, “Peace all year round to my parents! Now, give us red pockets.” My parents give us the red pockets at once with a smile on their faces.

What a wonderful time we have!

I think “Everything goes well” this year!

Happiness exists everywhere. Everyone has different definitions of happiness.幸福存在于每个地方。每个人对幸福的定义都不同。

Some people think possessing a great deal of money is the secret to happiness, while others feel giving aid to others makes them happy. I approve of the latter.有的人认为拥有大笔钱是幸福的秘诀，而有的人感觉给予别人帮助会让自己感到幸福。我同意后者。

There are many poor people in our society, and we can contribute some money to charities to help them. When the poor receive our assistance, their lives will be improved. Smiles will appear on their faces, and this is the best reward we can get from helping others. When we see their happy smiles, we will be happy as well.社会中有很多穷人，我们可以捐一些钱到慈善机构帮助他们。当那些穷人得到帮助的时候，他们的生活会得到改善。他们的脸上会充满微笑，这也是我们帮助他们所得到的最好的回报。当我们看到他们快乐的笑容，我们也会感到很幸福。

So I think that true happiness comes from the heart.所以我认为真正的幸福来自我们的内心。

小作者通过写给予别人帮助所得到的快乐，说明真正的幸福来自内心，而并非金钱。

My Father

There is always a brilliant image living in my heart. That is my dear father. Seen through the eyes of many other people, father seems to be a very ordinary person. But he is quite extraordinary in my eyes, I have never lost my wonder at his good-personalities such as diligence, devotion, care, optimism ever since my childhood.Being a farmer, father works very hard in the fields all the year round. He works from dawn till dusk every day and even till midnight when it is the harvest season. He seldom enjoys leisure with other farmers even if the farm work is not much. He chooses to live a busy life with reluctance to stop for a while.

Father devotes all himself to our family. As we are poor, he always tries his best to support our family and afford the tuitions for my brother and me. For the whole family, for brother and me, he never stops working laboriously in the fields throughout the year. Now he has got a wrinkled face and white hair because of excessive hard work, looking much older and weaker than any other person of his age. In spite of all this, father never complains to us. It is his full devotion that were living a better life now. It is his full devotion that both my brother and I are able to study at college.Father shows much care to us children and my mother as well. Whenever there is any delicious food on the table, he just leaves it to us while he takes the simple one himself. If my brother and I fall ill, he will not hesitate a moment to get some medicine for us or take us to see the doctor. My mother suffers a bad disease. Father looks after her very carefully. He never lets mother do any heavy work both at home and in the field. Mother appreciates him m much that she often praises him as a model husband before others.

Father is a person full of optimism. He never complains about our poor life. He is never frustrated by trouble. He often tells us that everything will be all right if we have enough confidence in life. Due to his optimism, we are all confident to face our life and work.

We all think that father is not in the least an ordinary man. He plays an extraordinary role in my family. We cant have anything without him. Now Im pursuing further studies at college far away from father. I miss him very much. And I often see him in my dreams. His great image is deeply carved in my mind.

作为一个农民,父亲在田里工作很努力.收获的季节，他每天从早到晚工作,直到午夜时.他很少像其他的农民享受休闲,即使在农场工作不多的时候.他选择一个繁忙的生活不情愿停下来。

父亲为了我们这个家奉献了他的全部.当我们贫穷时,他总是尽自己最大的努力来支持我们的家庭和支付我哥哥和我的学费.为整个家庭,为哥哥和我,他总是不停地在地里工作一整年.现在他因为过度辛勤工作已经有了一个满是皱纹的脸和白色毛发,岁,比任何其他与他相同的年龄的人.虽有这一切的事,父亲从不抱怨.这是他的全部奉献,我们正处在一个更好的生活.这是他的全部奉献,我的兄弟和我都能在大学读书。

父亲十分关心我们，和我母亲一样.每当有什么好吃的食物放在桌子上,他只是让我们吃自己吃少点.如果我和我兄弟生病,他会毫不犹豫地让拿些药给我们或带我们去看医生.我的母亲受严重的疾病.父亲照料得很认真.他从不让妈妈在家里和田间做什么繁重的工作.感谢他的母亲,她经常在别人面前称赞他为模范丈夫。

父亲是一个十分乐观的人.他从不抱怨我们贫穷的生活.他从未灰心丧气.他经常告诉我们,一切都会好起来的,如果我们有足够的信心.由于他的乐观,我们都是自信的面对我们的生活和工作。我们都认为,父亲是不平凡的人.他在我的家庭中具有非常重要的作用.我们能不能有什么东西.现在我继续进修大学远离的父亲.我怀念他.我经常看到他在我的梦.他的伟大的形象深深刻在我的脑海里.

评语： 本文作者以朴实的语言充满感情地刻画了父亲的不平凡的形象，分别从四个不同的角度描述了父亲的勤劳、奉献、关爱和乐观。内容真实感人，行文简洁流畅，结构清晰，组织有条有理，首尾呼应，给读者以强烈的感染力。 作者用词简洁精确，并能很好地尝试一些新学的词汇及表达，使简洁的行。文更为生动。作者没有运用太多复杂的句式，但能适当运用介词短语、分词结构、强调及重复的手法，恰到好处 地突出了行文句式的变化，使文章更耐读。

A few days before the festival, houses are cleaned and red couplets are put up on the doors of every household. They are said to frighten away the ghosts. On that day, people are dressed up. Firecrackers ring out in the air, which adds to the atmosphere of the festival. People after a year’s hard work begin to relax and visit one another. Presents and dinners are given to celebrate the happy reunionof friends and relatives. Families get together. They have jiaozi and enjoy the New Year TV show. Customs may vary from place to place, but the same happy atmosphere is to be found everywhere in the country。

Now, I hope you have some idea of Chinese Spring Festival。

Best wishes,

Yours,

The Spring Festival is very important to Chinese people. In the past，people could not often have meat，rice or other delicious food. They could only eat these during the Spring festival. So every year they hoped that the Spring Festival would come soon. Now， although people‘s life is much better，and we can eat the delicious foods everyday. People still like the festival. Because most people can have a long holiday，and we are free to go on a trip or visit our friends or have parties with our family. In the evenings，we can have a big meal in the restaurant or stay at home with family and watch the TV programs.

I like the Spring Festival very much. How wonderful the Spring Festival is！

Ground rules

One of my favorite teachers at Southeast Missouri State University in Cape

Girardeau was known of his droll sense of humor. Explaining his ground rules to

one freshman class, he said, "Now I know my lectures can often be dry and

boring, so I don‘t mind if you look at your watches during class. I do, however,

object to your pounding them on the desk to make sure they‘re still

running."

基本原则

位于吉拉多海角的密苏里东南州立大学有一位我非常喜欢的老师，他奇特的幽默感很是出名。在对一个新生班级讲解他的基本原则时，他说：“我知道我的讲课可能经常会枯燥乏味，了无生趣，所以如果你们在上课时看表我并不介意。不过我坚决反对你们将表在课桌上猛敲看它们是不是还在走。”
