dear peter,

i’m surprised this kind of thing should happen in your country. here in china parents usually take their children to all kinds of crash courses after class, which are supposed to help them get top grades in all exams. but in my family my parents treat me as their friend and won’t put too much pressure on me and allow me to develop my own interest in art, music and sports. so i’m pretty lucky in this aspect. i suggest that you have a heart-to-heart talk with your parents and tell them that they should set high standards, reward achievement but not punish poor performance. i’m sure they will understand you sooner or later.

yours,

li hua

David Copperfield was written by Dickens and it is a long piece of fiction. The story is told almost entirely from the point of view of the first person narrator, David Copperfield himself. When reading this novel, I was totally attracted by not only the exciting plot but also the author‘s sprightly smooth and the humorous charming language.

The main character, David Copperfield is a diligent person who is good at observing. His father passed away in his early time, and his mother departed later, which made him make a living independently. At first, he was sent to do the child laborer. Latter, because cannot bear the maltreatment, he ran away to his aunt’s home. His aunt sent him to school, after graduate, he become a lawyer and marry his teacher’s daughter Dora. But soon, Dora died of disease and David leave for Australia with deep sorrow. After returning to homeland, he had become a writer and married Agnes, and from this time he starts the happy content life.

The novel plot is just like this,though there are not many soul-stirring scenes and imposing heroic achievement,lets me feel that I was appreciating a fresh picture.

David’s complex character allows for contradiction and development over the course of the novel. David experiencedmany things which were difficult and dangerous, when he was in trouble, his friends came to help him. Among those people, there were men and women, elders and children. Though they were different, all can render oneself in ones power assistance at difficult time. Due to have these truly friends, David can turn danger into safety and be pulled in the death edge by the companion again and again. What can let he pass the danger is the great human nature.

I thinkthe human nature passes through this book. In the novel, there are many art characters, in my opinion,these are the actually living character in the real life. These characters are not only lived in 19th century, but also live inthe present age.The human nature is divided into two parts, elegant and ugly.The elegant human nature should always be remembered by us and not be diluted by the time’s change. We should develop and let it lead the entire human nature for it has a great significance for our society. The ugly human nature should be forbidden and not appear in the society, it is not only does no significance to our society, even also can tow the hind leg which we progress.

The good servant Peggotty was kind all the time. She does not like to show herself in front of people, her kindness comes from her heart, and then I associate others in the world, some of them are hypocritical and unctuous. Which they can’t get rid of is their own interest. No matter what they do, they first think is that whether their interest will be destroyed or their purpose will be completed. They are selfish, and their mind should be corrected with the standard of Peggotty’s.

In our actually society, many people are similar to Steerforth, he is very cunning, he made friends with David then cheat his friends. At first, they pretended very gentle or outstanding to their friends, in fact, they had their own purpose. After having their friends confused, then the evil plan started. Taking advantage of other’s trust to cheat and running away when they completed the purpose. Their human natures are ugly and hateful.

But the man who was most hated is Uriah Heep. Uriah serves a foil to David and contrasts David’s qualities of innocence and compassion with his own corruption. Uriah and David not only have opposing characteristics but also operate at cross-purposes. For example, whereas Uriah wishes to marry Agnes only in order to hurt David, David’s marriages are both motivated by love He always displays very much base and low in front of others, as if he want to win others sympathy, he likes to do this at any time. Actually, he has other goal, when he cooperation with David, he want to make him breakdown and cause him to stain the excessive drinking abuse, he embezzled public funds and try to buy his office. I think there are many people who are similar to Uriah in the market, they always like to enjoy the process of destroying others to accumulate their own wealth. Sometimes they even cheat their closed person. In front of the family members, they are very successful and splendid, but no one know that they receive these by betrayed their own human nature. They obtain the splendid while harvested the evil. I think ordinary people will not want this kind of splendid.

We should inherit and carry forward the elegant human nature, make up for the discount mind. But for the ugly human nature, we should say firmly “no”, and defeats it with the elegant human nature. Only do this can our society become more beautiful and peaceful.

Recently, I read an article about "the little match girl". Read, my eyes blurred.

Mainly tells the story: a little match girl, in a heavy snow on New Years eve. Died of frozen hungry in the corner. After reading, it suddenly occurred to me that I always know when they are. Think about the little girls experience, and I blush to the ear.

Remember once, on a cold morning, I want to go to school. Mother hurriedly call me to wear a coat, I watched the weather outside, agreed to a mother. Mother hurriedly to coat. I looked, coat embroidered with so weak-minded pattern, also so vulgar, Im not going to wear? So, I said to mother: "mom, this coat is too stupid, too cliche, I cant wear." Mother, after a little angry, say: "you cant too wayward soil figure what! Think that year, we havent coat, if anyone has, bug-eyed we all envy down... you DianChuan go up quickly!" "I dont wear, so ugly, the classmates will laugh at me!" I retorted. "That you want to go out like this? Its cold outside." "Cold is cold! I dont wear. I go to school like this!" Finally, my mother finally agreed to me to school. As soon as I get outside, sneeze, but I for the sake of proud, or go to school.

I get an inspiration: we want to cherish now good life, cherish a grain of rice, cherish a drop of water, cherish the hard-won good life now. Good good study, dont let the tragedy of the little match girl again.

最近，我读了一篇名为《卖火柴的小女孩》的文章。读后，我的眼睛模糊了。

主要讲述了：一个卖火柴的小女孩，在大雪纷飞的除夕夜。因冻饿而死在墙角。读完后，我突然想起我平时总是身在福中不知福。再想想小女孩的经历，我的脸红到了耳根。

记得有一次：在一个寒冷的早上，我要去上学了。妈妈急忙叫我去穿外套，我看了外面的天气，就答应了妈妈。妈妈连忙去拿外套。我看了看，外套上绣着这么弱智的图案，还这么老土，我才不穿呢。于是，我对妈妈说：“妈妈，这件外套太弱智了，太老土了，我不穿了。”妈妈听后，有点生气，说：“你不能太任性了土图又怎么样!想当年，我们连外套都没有呢，如果谁有，我们都会羡慕的眼珠子都快掉下来了……你快点穿上去!”“我不穿，这么难看，同学们都会笑话我的!”我反驳道。“那你想这样出去吗?外面很冷的。”“冷就冷!我不穿!我就这样去上学!”最后，妈妈终于同意我这样去上学。可我一到外面，就打喷嚏，不过我为了要面子，还是这样去上学了。

我从中得到一个启发：我们要珍惜现在的美好生活，珍惜一粒米，珍惜一滴水，珍惜现在美好的来之不易的生活。好好学习，不让卖火柴的小女孩的悲剧重演。

The novel to connect. Mr. Hale, is a peasant family but Renaissance youth. The outstanding young ambitious, and never willing to earth, boiling life to aspire to napoleon era, keen to join the army to spurs, rise. But in restoration period, under extreme anti-democratic aristocratic bourgeois rule of France, to even see the road had to go, only through the church he didnt have a way hope among the high society. Novel title the red, red is symbol of the army, black or symbol of the church. Even at the beginning in d set yel mayor DE?

Wish with all my heart to get rid of disadvantaged position in even revenge society contempt, is painstakingly, by hook or by crook. He openly worship napoleon, but want to lambaste napoleon in public, he clearly did not believe the gods, but to read the bible lessons, can recite it completely. A young good hypocrisy!!!!! I dont know at that time, the background of life, only know that should come in even in order to make his fame and fortune to cheat themselves, with a mask to entertain the people of all, if I were him, I will be very tired. His time like a movie to play the role of a world and their inner strange, but also to let oneself no matter when and where all dont play, immersed in the character it is almost impossible. As the saying goes: "the leopard cannot change, the temperament is difficult to move. I feel so sorry for the way of teachers professional development.

Justice always prevail over evil, in the final fate is sad, so to be more sincere best less hypocrisy.

小说主人翁于连。索黑尔，是一个出身农民家庭但博学多才的青年。这个出类拔萃的青年雄心勃勃，决不甘于贫贱，一心向往拿破伦时代的沸腾生活，渴望通过从军去建功立业，青云直上。但在王政复辟时期，在极端反民主的贵族资产阶级统治下的法国，于连看到这条路已经走不通了，只有通过教会一途他才有希望跻身上流社会。小说题名《红与黑》，红即象征军队，黑即象征教会。于连开头在维立叶尔市长德?瑞那府上当家庭教师，为了报复贵族资产阶级对他的鄙视，找到迅速爬上去的捷径，使他很快赢得了市长夫人的欢心，成为她的情人，因此得以进入修道院学习，企图以此达到发达的目的。他最后到了巴黎，又有幸成为德?拉?木尔候爵的私人秘书，同时勾搭上了候爵的此文来源于文秘资源网女玛特儿。正准备和玛特儿结婚，实现自己飞黄腾达的美梦的时候，市长夫人出于嫉妒，在听她忏悔的教士的指使下，给候爵写了一封揭发他丑行的长信，使于连的野心和梦幻完全破灭了。在他绝望之余，一怒枪击了德?瑞那夫人，受到了严厉的审判，终于被送上了断头台，从而结束自己短暂的一生。

一心希望摆脱贫贱地位报复上流社会蔑视的于连，是煞费苦心，不择手段的。他明明崇拜拿破伦，却要当众大骂拿破伦，他明明不信神灵，却要把《圣经》读得烂熟，能够完全背诵。好虚伪的青年啊!我不了解那时的生活背景，只知道于连为了争名夺利做自己的黄粱美梦而欺骗自己，带着假面具来应酬所有的人，如果我是他，我会很累。要自己时刻像电影里一样去扮演一个和自己内心世界异样的角色，而且要让自己无论何时何地都不出戏，沉浸在这个角色里是很难办到的。俗话说：“江山易改，禀性难移。我真同情于连教师专业成长的途径。

正义永远战胜邪恶，于连最终的下场是可悲的，所以待人最好多一些真诚少些虚伪。

Christmas is a Christian holiday that celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ. No one knows the exact date of Christs birth, but most Christians observe Christmas on December 25. On this day, many go to church, where they take part in special religious services. During the Christmas season, they also exchange gifts and decorate their homes with holly, mistletoe, and Christmas trees. The word Christmas comes from Cristes maesse, an early English phrase that means Mass of Christ. The story of Christmas comes chiefly from the Gospels of Saint Luke and Saint Matthew in the New Testament.

The history of Christmas dates back over 4000 years. Many of our Christmas traditions were celebrated centuries before the Christ child was born. The 12 days of Christmas, the bright fires, the yule log, the giving of gifts, carnivals(parades) with floats, carolers who sing while going from house to house, the holiday feasts, and the church processions can all be traced back to the early Mesopotamians.

Many of these traditions began with the Mesopotamian celebration of New Years. The Mesopotamians believed in many gods, and as their chief god-Marduk. Each year as winter arrived it was believed that Marduk would do battle with the monsters of chaos. To assist Marduk in his struggle the Mesopotamians held a festival for the New Year. This was Zagmuk, the New Years festival that lasted for 12 days.

The Persians and the Babylonians celebrated a similar festival called the Sacaea. Part of that celebration included the exchanging of places, the slaves would become the masters and the masters were to obey. The ancient Greeks held a festival similar to that of the Zagmuk/Sacaea festivals to assist their god Kronos who would battle the god Zeus and his Titans.

The Romans celebrated their god Saturn. Their festival was called Saturnalia which began the middle of December and ended January 1st. With cries of "Jo Saturnalia!" the celebration would include masquerades in the streets, big festive meals, visiting friends, and the exchange of good-luck gifts called Strenae (lucky fruits). The Romans decked their halls with garlands of laurel and green trees lit with candles. Again the masters and slaves would exchange places.

"Jo Saturnalia!" was a fun and festive time for the Romans, but the Christians thought it an abomination to honor the pagan god. The early Christians wanted to keep the birthday of their Christ child a solemn and religious holiday, not one of cheer and merriment as was the pagan Saturnalia.

Some legends claim that the Christian "Christmas" celebration was invented to compete against the pagan celebrations of December. The 25th was not only sacred to the Romans but also the Persians whose religion Mithraism was one of Christianitys main rivals at that time. The Church eventually was successful in taking the merriment, lights, and gifts from the Saturanilia festival and bringing them to the celebration of Christmas.

The exact day of the Christ childs birth has never been pinpointed. Traditions say that it has been celebrated since the year 98 AD. In 137 AD the Bishop of Rome ordered the birthday of the Christ Child celebrated as a solemn feast. In 350 AD another Bishop of Rome, Julius I, choose December 25th as the observance of Christmas.

The birth of Jesus had a story: In Nazareth, a city of Galilee. The virgins name was Mary was betrothed to Joseph. Before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Spirit. Joseph her husband was minded to put her away secretly. While he thought about these things, Gabriel, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and told him did not be afraid to take Mary as wife. And Mary will bring forth a Son, and he shall call his name, Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.

Before Jesus births, Joseph and Mary came to Quirnius was governing Syria. So all went to be registered, everyone to his own city. Joseph also went up out of Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and of the lineage of David, to be registered with Mary, his betrothed wife, who was with child. So it was that while they were there, the days were completed for her to be delivered. And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped him in swaddling cloths, and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

And that, Christmas is the feast of the nativity of Jesus, is on 25th, December every year. But nobody knows the actual birthday of Jesus. And the Christmas has become popular when Christmas cards appeared in 1846 and the concept of a jolly Santa Claus was first made popular in nineteenth Century.

The custom of giving gifts to relatives and friends on a special day in winter probably began in ancient Rome and northern Europe. In these regions, people gave each other small presents as part of their year-end celebrations.

In the 1800s, two more Christmas customs became popular--decorating Christmas trees and sending Christmas cards to relatives and friends. Many well-known Christmas carols, including Silent Night" and Hark! The Herald Angels Sing," were composed during this period. In the United States and other countries, Santa Claus replaced Saint Nicholas as the symbol of gift giving.

The word Xmas is sometimes used instead of Christmas. This tradition began in the early Christian church. In Greek, X is the first letter of Christs name. It was frequently used as a holy symbol.

“圣诞节”这个名称是“基督弥撒”的缩写。弥撒是教会的一种礼拜仪式。耶诞节是一个宗教节。我们把它当作耶稣的诞辰来庆祝，因而又名耶诞节。这一天，世界所有的基督教会都举行特别的礼拜仪式。但是有很多圣诞节的欢庆活动和宗教并无半点关联。交换礼物，寄圣诞卡，这都使圣诞节成为一个普天同庆的日子。

圣诞节是基督教世界最大的节日。4世纪初，1月6日是罗马帝国东部各教会纪念耶稣降生和受洗的双重节日、称为“主显节”Epiphany，亦称“显现节”即上帝通过耶稣向世人显示自己。当时只有耶路撒冷的教会例外，那里只纪念耶稣的诞生而不纪念耶稣的受洗。

后来历史学家们在罗马基督徒习用的日历中发现公元 354年12月25日页内记录着：“基督降生在犹大的伯利恒。”经过研究，一般认为12月25日作为圣诞节可能开始于公元336年的罗马教会。12月25日原来是波斯太阳神(即光明之神)密特拉(Mithra)的诞辰，是一个异教徒节日，同时太阳神也是罗马国教众神之一。这一天又是罗马历书的冬至节，崇拜太阳神的异教徒都把这一天当作春天的希望，万物复苏的开始。可能由于这个原因，罗马教会才选择这一天作为圣诞节。这是教会初期力图把异教徒的风俗习惯基督教化的措施之一。后来，虽然大多数教会都接受12月25日为圣诞节，但又因为各地教会使用的历书不同，具体日期不能统一，于是就把12月24日到第二年的1月6日定为圣诞节节期(Christmas Tide)，各地教会可以根据当地具体情况在这段节期之内庆祝圣诞节。

母爱是迷惘时的苦苦规劝;母爱是远行时的殷切叮咛;母爱是无助时的慈祥微笑;母爱是跌倒时的鼓励之声。母亲节小编为大家整理了一些英文版的母亲节贺卡祝福语，希望可以帮助大家!

小编收集了关于英国女王2016圣诞致辞(英文版)，欢迎阅读。

I once knew someone who spent a year in a plaster cast recovering from an operation on his back. He read a lot, and thought a lot, and felt miserable.

Later, he realised this time of forced retreat from the world had helped him to understand the world more clearly.

We all need to get the balance right between action and reflection. With so many distractions, it is easy to forget to pause and take stock. Be it through contemplation, prayer, or even keeping a diary, many have found the practice of quiet personal reflection surprisingly rewarding, even discovering greater spiritual depth to their lives.

Reflection can take many forms. When families and friends come together at Christmas, its often a time for happy memories and reminiscing. Our thoughts are with those we have loved who are no longer with us. We also remember those who through doing their duty cannot be at home for Christmas, such as workers in essential or emergency services.

And especially at this time of year we think of the men and women serving overseas in our armed forces. We are forever grateful to all those who put themselves at risk to keep us safe.

Service and duty are not just the guiding principles of yesteryear; they have an enduring value which spans the generations.

I myself had cause to reflect this year, at Westminster Abbey, on my own pledge of service made in that great church on Coronation Day 60 years earlier.

The anniversary reminded me of the remarkable changes that have occurred since the Coronation, many of them for the better; and of the things that have remained constant, such as the importance of family, friendship and good neighbourliness.

But reflection is not just about looking back. I and many others are looking forward to the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow next year.

The baton relay left London in October and is now the other side of the world, on its way across 70 nations and territories before arriving in Scotland next summer. Its journey is a reminder that the Commonwealth can offer us a fresh view of life.

My son Charles summed this up at the recent meeting in Sri Lanka. He spoke of the Commonwealths family ties that are a source of encouragement to many. Like any family there can be differences of opinion. But however strongly theyre expressed they are held within the common bond of friendship and shared experiences.

Here at home my own family is a little larger this Christmas.

As so many of you will know, the arrival of a baby gives everyone the chance to contemplate the future with renewed happiness and hope. For the new parents, life will never be quite the same again.

As with all who are christened, George was baptised into a joyful faith of Christian duty and service. After the christening, we gathered for the traditional photograph.

It was a happy occasion, bringing together four generations.

In the year ahead, I hope you will have time to pause for moments of quiet reflection. As the man in the plaster cast discovered, the results can sometimes be surprising.

For Christians, as for all people of faith, reflection, meditation and prayer help us to renew ourselves in Gods love, as we strive daily to become better people. The Christmas message shows us that this love is for everyone. There is no one beyond its reach.

On the first Christmas, in the fields above Bethlehem, as they sat in the cold of night watching their resting sheep, the local shepherds must have had no shortage of time for reflection. Suddenly all this was to change. These humble shepherds were the first to hear and ponder the wondrous news of the birth of Christ – the first noel – the joy of which we celebrate today.

I wish you all a very happy Christmas.

Good morning, everyone. Thank you for taking your time. It’s really my honor to have this opportunity to take part in this interview. Now, I would like to introduce myself briefly.

My name is Doris. I am 23 years old and born in Qingdao. I graduated from Hebei University of Science and Technology. My major is English.() And I got my bachelor degree after my graduation. I also studied Audit in Hebei Normal University of Science and Technology. I am very interested in English and study very hard on this subject. I had passed TEM-8 and BEC Vantage. I worked in an American company at the beginning of this year. My spoken English was improved a lot by communicating with Americans frequently during that period.

I am very optimistic and easy to get along with. I have many friends. Teamwork spirit is very important in this age. I think if we want to make big achievement, it’s very important to learn how to cooperate with other people. My motto is "characters determine destity", so I alwarys remind myself to be honest and modest to everyone .

A verd says "attitude is everything". If I get this job, I will put all my heart in it and try my best to do it well.

good morning , i ‘d like to say thanks to you for this important interview.

my name is。。。, i am 22years old. i come from yantai, a beautiful city of shandong province . when i graduated from senior high school, i was admitted by school of electronics and information of tongji university. it is my great honor to be one part of this big family and i started my college life.

it has been three years since i came to shanghai . i learned a lot both in my study and my way to solve problems. i’d like to summarize it from 3 aspects:

firstly, i used to be a girl that had no patience either in my study or in my own daily life. when i met with problems ,i always went to people for help . i would never calm down for difficult things. this made me dependent on my parents and my teachers. when i was in my senior high ,i did things my teacher told me to do with no reflect on it and had no plan for my study . i take it for granted that good marks will come to me if i do whatever my teachers let me to do and so it was at that time. but in college things turs out to be different . i should make a long term plan for my study life and find problems and their solutions all on myself. teachers would never help you on basics. they would answer you problems you can’t make yourself with amounts of hard work. i was’t quite adapted to this way of study at first . so my grades was very low in my first year. but i used to be good at examinations . i was very upset about myself . but i finally figured out that if i want to learn something , i have to study it hard . college is different form high school, here i will learn academics , which are complicated and deep. since then i began to get rid from bad habits like dependent on people and have no patience for things. my study turned out to be better and better after that and the second year , i was honor to have a scholarship from tongji university.

secondly , my personality has been changed a lot during my college life. when i was a senior high student all i had to do is study but since i came to tongji university i joined many communities like the english corner, the climbing club, the drama club. my life became very interesting and since these communities are organized by students , we communicated a lot and had fun together , besides i learned how to communicate an cooperate with others. this helps me in my study. when i do team work with my fellow students , i know how to do to be in a team.

相敬如宾

During the Spring and Autumn Period (770-476 BC), there was a high official

in the State of Jin. He once saw a farmer working in the field and his wife

bringing his lunch to him in a very respectful manner. He showed great interest

in the matter. He took the farmer back to Jin with him, and said to the King of

Jin, "Respect is a demonstration of virtue. If one is respectful, he must be

virtuous. We should educate our people with virtue." But the King asked, "His

father is guilty, is it wise to do so?" He replied, "Guan Zhong had been enemy

to the Duke Huan of Qi, but the duke appointed Guan Zhong prime minister and

finally acnetplished his hegemony. Shun exiled Gun but promoted his son Yu. You

just make use of his strong points." At last, Duke Wen took his advice and put

the farmer in an important position.

Later, this idiom means a couple treats each other with respect like

guests.

一技之长

Gong sun Long , is a famous scholar lived in the State of Zhao during the

Warring States Period (475-221BC). He had kept a circle skilled people around

him. He often said, "A wise man should welnete anyone with a specialty."

One day, a man dressed in tattered(破烂的) and dirty clothes came to see him

and said to him:" I have a special skill. "

Gong asked: "What is it?"

"I have a loud voice and Im good at shouting."

Then Gong turned to his followers and asked," Who is good at shouting?" But

none of them answered "Yes ". So the scholar took the man in.

Some days later, Gong and his followers went on a trip. They came to a wide

river and found the ferryboat was on the other side of the river. All of them

had no idea. Suddenly, Gong thought of the shouting expert and turned to him,

"Can you have a try?" The man realized it was the chance to show his skill. He

shouted to the ferryman as loud as he could, "Hey, ferryman, nete here, we want

to cross the river." As his voice ended, the ferryman came to fetch them. Gong

was very satisfied with the new follower.

Later, people use it to describe anyone who has a special professional

skill.
