我，姓李名飞阳，九岁已有余，十岁尚不足，语文老师还戏说我什么“大风起兮云飞扬”，也许是爸爸把这个“阳”字起别了的缘故吧，我丝毫没有飞起来的感觉，倒觉得自己平凡得如一粒沙子，是属于扎在草堆里找不到的那种料。

我个子不高，瘦得像一根筷子，属于营养不良型，只有声音还撑体面，唱起歌来洪亮如钟，气势非凡，颇有余音绕梁之势。妈妈常跟人说，我家阳阳吃的饭全长在声音上了。嘿嘿，反正也没有白吃，至少也算派上用场了，管它呢。还没有学到多少知识，那个高高的鼻梁上就架起了一副“望远镜”。爷爷总私心地说我是未来的“学者”，学者不学者，难道我自己还不清楚吗？只是由于长时间受眼镜的“压迫”，本来不大的眼睛变成了“一线天”，鼻梁被压得差点和嘴巴“拥抱”。这可已成为不争的事实。

我很爱讲笑话。每次讲笑话时，总会有许多铁杆听众，也算“粉丝”吧？每讲完一段笑话，他们准会笑得前俯后仰，不是笑得肚子痛，就是笑得爬在板凳上，直不起腰来，有的甚至干脆爬在地上，打起滚来。有一次，一个小伙伴听完我的笑话，一下子笑得坐在地上，正巧那儿有一滩水，等他反应过来时，裤子已经湿透了，我们又开始笑他尿裤子了。

啥？你问我有没有爱好？那还用说，可以说是五花八门、琳琅满目，嘻嘻，言重了吧。不过要说我最大的爱好嘛，还得数看书了。有这么一次，爸爸在看电视上的足球赛，我说想去奶奶家，爸爸点了点头，算是同意了。我走进厕所，本想方便一下就去的，没想到厕所里放着我最爱看的《儿童文学》，哇，多好的机会啊！真是天助我也。平时爸爸怕我眼睛近视严重，总是防着我，今天他看球赛我看书，正好两不误，于是我就直接坐在马桶上，津津有味地看了起来。去奶奶家的事早被抛到九霄云外了。也不知过了多久，听见爸爸在给奶奶打电话，好像还提到了我。后来又听到爸爸给妈妈和三姨她们一个个打电话，不知在说着什么，好像还有点急，紧接着听见爸爸下楼的声音。管那么多干啥，机不可失，时不再来，看书要紧。这可是个新的发现啊！以后看书就到这儿来，神不知鬼不觉的，没人打扰，多清静呀！

大约一小时左右吧，爸爸回来了，我不小心被文中的故事惹得笑出了声，爸爸听见了厕所里的声音，打开门一看，见我正坐在马桶上看书，当时就气得火冒三丈，骂我没有去奶奶家，害得他们到处找我，还差点儿报了警，我一看大事不妙，就赶忙向爸爸认错。“你一个大活人就没有发现娃没有出门吗？”还是妈妈好，多亏妈妈帮我解围，爸爸才算没有动手，唉，好险啊……

这就是我，一个一肚子笑话，看书成瘾的小男孩。

Hello,every one!(大家好)

My name is **** . (我叫****)

Im a 15 years old boy. (我是一个15岁的男孩)(具体情况自己改)

I live in the beautiful city of Rizhao.(我住在美丽的Rizhao城)(你可以把Rizhao改成自己家乡的城市的名称的拼音)

Im an active ,lovely and clever boy.(我是一个活跃的可爱的聪明的男孩)

In the school , my favourite subject is maths . (在学校，我最喜欢数学)

American eating is funny. They eat almost everything with a fork, and it appears that holding a knife in ones right hand longer than a few seconds is considered to be against good table manners.

The system is that if it is absolutely necessary to use a knife, people take the fork in their left hand, and cut off a piece of meat or whatever it is in the normal manner. Then they put the knife down, transfer the fork to their right hand, and only then do they transport the food to their mouth. This is clearly ludicrous(滑稽可笑), but it is considered good manners.

There are several results of this system. First, if it is not absolutely necessary to use a knife, Americans dont use one, because obviously this greatly complicates(使复杂化) things, and you will therefore see them trying to cut things like potatoes, fish and even bacon(熏猪肉) with a fork. Second, towards the end of a course, since only one implement(器具) is being used, food has to bo chased around the plate with the fork - and for the last mouthful the thumb has to be used to keep the food in place, although one is not supposed to do this.

Third, tables are generally laid with one knife and two forks, the outside fork being for the salad. There is no need for foreign visitors to follow the American system and try to eat the salad with only a fork, but if you do use your knife, remerber to save it for the meat course. Even desserts(甜食) (except ice cream) are eaten with a fork if at all possible, and the spoon you see by your dessert is meant to be for coffee (but if you use it for your dessert no one will say anything).

I have a penfriend. His name is Lee. He is a eleven years old American boy. We haven’t seen each other, but we have exchanged our photoes. He is handsome. From his letters ,I know that he is good at maths and bad at PE. He likes music. He often sing at home before his family. He lives a happy life. I like him. Trough him, I can learn more information about the foreign country.

我有一个笔友。他的名字是李。他是一个十一岁的美国男孩。我们还没有见过对方，但我们交换了我们的照片。他很英俊的。从他的信中，我知道他数学学得很好但是不擅长体育。他喜欢音乐。他经常在家人面前唱歌。他过得很幸福我喜欢他。通过他，我可以了解到更多外国的信息。

Nowadays,with the rapid increase of population,the problems of overloading in cities is becoming more and more serious around the world.

For instance,the resources such as education,jobs,health care that a city can supply is limited.So more populations mean that everyone living in the city have less welfare.In addition,the phenomenon of pollution can also be aggravating.And the traffic jams will disturb drives frequently.

In order to deal with the problems caused by overloading,in my opinion,Lowering the birth rate is the essential methods.On the other hand,another way which is executable to reduce the pressure of population in cities is to move people from cities to suburban areas.Of course,this need the help of governments.

In a nutshell,it is time for us to make efforts to control the population timely.
