题目 Travel by Train: Benefits is More Than We can Imagine

Everytime I saw the people in the train with their traveling packages, I admire them, and I dreamed that I could be one of them one day.

There’re several benefits of train journey, i’d like to have a share in it with you.

The first reason I must mention is Convenience. For the geography and political and commerical reason, the train station is required to build around the city’s center. It’s very convenient for you, especially when you are a stranger to a new place.

Secondly, comparing with other vehicle, train is safer. Train is rarely influenced by the natural reasons, such as whether. And according to my own perspective, it is more economical than other traveling patterns.

The last but not least, with the development of globalization, more and more young people are willing to spend time and money on traveling, and just in time, the youth are cool-hunters, they like the train jounery, which is more flexible, more free. At the same time, you can make more friends, you can exchange different customs.

Train jounery is a good stage to show a country’s historical culture, customs, and natural landscape, I believe that more and more peole will join the ranks.

题目 Coorperation and competition

As society develops, more and more problems are brought to out attention, one of which is that the relationship between cooperation and competition.

Some people advocate that cooperation is better than competiton. The reason is that if a work need a lot of people to do, competition doesn’t work, only coorperation is helpful. For instance, if you get a team homework, cooperation is necessary at that time. Cooperation is needed in the team homework if you want to get a fine scores, otherwise others will be influenced by your bad performance.

On the other hand, the people support competition have their own perspective as following.

In a factory, if workers arem’t provided with the sense of competition, they will not have the responsbility about their work. Then, this factory can’t exist for a long time, it will bankrupt. In this way, even they try to find the cooperation, it doesn’t work.

Frankly speaking, there are merits to both sides of argument. However , I would like to take a more balanced view. That is to say, we should combine cooperation and competiton together to achieve a successful result.

The exam comes in July. When the exam finishes，the summer vacation begins. Boys and girls have two months to rest. The summer vacation is the best part of the year for most children. The weather is usually good. They can swim，go to summer camp or visit other places with their parents. We all know that the beaches are good places to relax. Some children are lucky to live near the sea. They can enjoy the sea at any time. But for the children who live far from the sea，they only go to the beaches for one or two weeks with their parents.

Why do children like spending their summer vacation on the beaches? It is because they like the sand，the sun，the cool wind and the salt water. There are a lot of new things to see，nice things to eat and exciting things to do.

11. Traveling by Train

I often travel by train to some places of interest. This summer I decided to take a train trip to the countryside.

I got on the train and took a seat by the window. When the bell rang, the train started moving. The train moved along slowly and gradually gained speed. The train went through a number of tunnels, crossed some bridges and traveled in the countryside.

It was a sunny day and the scenery outside was wonderful. There were green fields everywhere. We could see farmers working busily in the fields. Some children who were playing under trees waved to us as the train went by. The train ran over a bridge under which a group of ducks were enjoying themselves. They were frightened by the noise of our train and hurried off.

I looked out of the window. After a while, I closed my eyes and started to make plans for my next holiday.

火车游览记

我经常坐火车去参观名胜古迹。今年夏天我决定乘火车去农村看看。

我上了火车坐在靠窗户的座位上。当汽笛鸣响，火车便启动了。火车缓缓前行，速度逐渐加快。火车穿过了许多隧道，跨过了一些大桥，与相间的片片田野擦肩而过。

天气晴朗，风光秀美。到处是绿油油的田野。我们还能看到在田野里辛勤忙碌的农民。一些孩子在树下玩耍。当火车经过时，他们便向我们挥手。火车经过一座大桥，桥下成群嬉戏的鸭子被火车的轰鸣声吓得四处逃散。

我向窗外望去。过了一会我闭上眼睛开始计划下一个假期该如何度过。

12. Beautiful Sky

During the winter holiday, I went to my grandmother’s home. One evening after supper, I stood on the balcony to look at the sky.

The stars in the sky were twinkling. Some were crowded, and others were separate. Then I found the stars were not the same color, there were many colors, white, gray, light blue, orange and so on. It was really beautiful. At that time, the sky was like blue damask decorated by millions of bright diamonds.

Looking up at the sky, I saw the moon. It was like a naughty child. Sometimes it hid in the clouds and sometimes it got out of the clouds. It seemed to play “hide and seek” with us. The stars around the moon, however, were as shy as girls, hiding themselves in the clouds.

Oh, what a beautiful sky!

美丽的天空

寒假，我去了姥姥家。一天晚饭后，我站在阳台上，看着天空。

天上的星星正在眨着眼睛，有的挤在一起，有的分散开来。接着我发现星星不是一种颜色，而是有很多颜色，白色、灰色、浅蓝色、橙色等等，真的很美。就在那时，天空好像是由数以万计的钻石装点得蓝锦缎。

仰望星空，我看见了月亮。他像个顽皮的孩子，时隐时现，好像在和我们玩捉迷藏的游戏。众星环月，尽管如此，星星们像害羞的小姑娘，把自己藏在云中。

多美的夜空啊！

13. The first Spring Rain

People usually say spring is as valuable as oil. But the first spring rain of this year lasted long and this made me feel surprised.

I like spring rain because it always makes me think of green crops and yellow corns.

Grasses turn green; flowers come out; birds are flying around; people are full of confidence and new hope. The whole world wears a green coat and new hopes are on the way.

To me, the first spring rain always means good luck and a new idea. It can make our studies and life active and lively.

第一场春雨

常言道，春雨贵如油。但今年的第一场春雨持续的时间很长，这使我吃惊。

我喜欢春雨是因为她总是让我想起绿色的庄稼和金灿灿的玉米。春雨来临时，万物开始复苏。草绿了，花开了，鸟儿在飞，人们心中充满了信心和新的希望。整个世界披上了绿装，孕育着新的希望。

对我而言，第一场春雨意味着好运和新意。她给我们的学习和生活带来一片生机。

14. My Hometown

My hometown is a small mountain village not far from Hangzhou. This is a beautiful place. I like it very much. The air is very fresh because there are no factories or cars. A small river runs through the village, and there is a bridge over the river. Near the river, there are many flowers on the green grass. The flowers smell sweet. Many trees are on both banks of the river. The birds in the trees sing all day.

In the evening, I often sit still enjoying the quiet view of the countryside. At night, it is so quiet that you can hear nothing. The birds are asleep. Other animals are asleep. Everyone is fast asleep after a day’s work. It is really a world of quietness！

我的家乡

我的家乡是离杭州不远的一个小山村。 这是一个美丽的地方，我非常喜欢它。这里的空气新鲜。因为这里没有工厂和汽车。有一条小河从村子里穿过，河上有一座桥。在河边，绿色的草地上有许多花，花儿飘出芳香。河的两岸有许多树，树上的鸟儿整天不停地歌唱。 晚上， 我经常静静地坐在村头尽情地欣赏乡间静静的夜景。 夜晚这儿静悄悄的，什么都听不到。 鸟儿已经睡了，其他动物睡了，劳作了一天的人们也都进入梦乡。这真是一个静悄悄的世界啊！

15. The People’s Park

The People’s Park is the biggest park in our city. It is very modern and beautiful. People, young and old, all like to go there.

Many young people enjoy going boating in summer and going skating in winter. Around the park there are many green trees and all kinds of flowers. Lots of people like fishing on the lake.. There are also several man-made hills in the middle of the park. Children love to play on the hills. On the lake there are many boats like ducks and chickens. They are like lovely children running on the roads.

The People’s Park is full of joy and beauty. It makes people happy and hopeful.

人民公园

人民公园是我市最大的一个公园，它很时尚又很漂亮。老老少少都喜欢去那里。

许多年轻人喜欢去那里，夏季划船，冬季滑冰。公园的周围有绿树和各种各样的花。许多老年人喜欢在湖面上钓鱼。在公园的中心还有许多人造的假山。孩子们喜欢在假山上玩。 在湖面还有许多像小鸭和小鸡的船，它们就像是在路上跑步的可爱的孩子。

人民公园充满了美景和快乐。它让人们感觉幸福而充满希望。

四、节假日

17. A Happy Weekend

It was a sunny weekend day in autumn. The sun was shining brightly, and white clouds were floating in the blue sky. My parents and I were in high spirits as we visited an orange orchard on the hill.

We rode to the foot of hill, and then began to walk along the path leading to the top of the hill. The orchard was on the hillside where orange trees grew all over. It was the season of harvest, and we saw ripe oranges hanging on the branches. I was very excited to see the beautiful orange color among green leaves, which was really a feast for the eyes. I couldn’t help shouting“what a lovely view!” and my parents were smiling. As we were walking along the path in the orchard, we picked a lot of oranges. It was very exciting to pick it yourself. Looking at the oranges, my father said,“I’m sure no one will be hungry in this orchard.” My mother and I agreed with a smile.

At sunset, we went home happily with many self-picked oranges. We enjoyed the pleasure at harvest in the beautiful orchard. I would never forget that happy weekend.

一个愉快的周末

秋日的一个周末，阳光明媚，蓝天上白云飘飘，我和父母兴致勃勃地去爬山上的一个橘园。 我们骑车来到山脚下，然后顺小道往上爬。山坡上全是橘树。这是成熟的季节，我们看见熟了的橘子挂在枝头。我很喜欢绿叶簇拥下的橘黄色，美不胜收，我禁不住说道:“好漂亮的景色！”父母都笑了。我们顺路来到橘园，摘了许多橘子，亲自摘橘子是很令人兴奋的。看着满园的橘子，父亲高兴地说：“我敢肯定没有人会在这里说饿。”我和母亲微笑着表示赞成。

太阳下山时，我们也带着自己摘来的橘子回家了。在这个美丽的橘园中我们收获了很多快乐。我永远都不会忘记那个愉快的周末。

18. The Spring Festival

The Spring Festival is the most important festival in China. It is on January 1st according to the Chinese lunar calendar. It’s China’s New Year’s Day. So usually a month before the festival, people begin to buy food, clothes and decorations for houses.

About a week before the festival, housewives are busy preparing the New Year dinner. And they will do some washing and cleaning in the house. People who are far away on business are hurrying to return home for the New Year’s family reunion.

On New Year’s Eve, each family will gather together eating, talking and watching TV for almost the whole night. And there will be some interesting programmes on TV. The children are the happiest of all because they can get presents from their parents and grandparents.

On Lunar New Year’s Day, after getting up, people will eat dumplings. When they meet their neighbours or friends, they’ll say, “Happy New Year!”

The New Year celebrating activities will last about half a month.

春节

春节是中国最重要的节日，是每年农历的正月初一，也是中国的新年。通常在过春节前一个月，人们就开始采购食品和服饰，并进行家居装饰。

大约春节前一个星期，家庭主妇们就要忙着为年饭做准备了。她们还要清洗衣服和打扫房子。出差在外的人们忙着赶回家与家人团聚。

除夕之夜，家家都聚在一起吃团圆饭，还要熬夜聊天、看电视，有许多有趣的电视节目。孩子们是最高兴的，因为他们能得到父母和祖父母给他们的礼物。

新年这一天，人们起床后就吃饺子。她们遇到邻里朋友就道一声“新年好”。 庆祝春节的活动要持续半个月左右。

20. Father’s Day

Yesterday was Father’s Day. I had planned to give my father a present. But I didn’t remember it until in the morning. It was too late to post a card to him. So I decided to buy something for my father. When I was in the department store. I found it was not easy for me to choose something right for him. Suddenly I got an idea. I ran home and opened my computer. I made a beautiful card and mailed him through the Internet. Then I began to make supper. When father came home, he was very glad to find a big meal on the table. Then I asked him to check his e-mail. He was amazed to find a beautiful card in his e-mail-box.

What a wonderful surprise!

父亲节

昨天是父亲节。我原打算给父亲一份礼物，但是直到今天早晨的时候我才记起。那是如果要给他寄卡片的话已经太晚了。所以我决定买一份礼物。当我来到零售点的时候，我发现要

选一件合适的礼物给他真的不是一件容易的事。突然我有了一个主意，我跑回家里打开我的电脑。我制作了一张精美的卡片通过互联网把它寄给了父亲。然后我就开始做晚饭。当父亲回家后，发现桌上已经准好了晚饭的时候，他非常高兴。然后我要他去查收他的电子邮件。他惊奇地发现在他的电子邮箱里有一张非常漂亮的卡片。

多么美好的惊喜啊！

21. A New Year’s Party

It was New Year’s Day that day. I went to school early to take part in the party. We said Happy New Year to each other. Everyone looked happy.

At about 8 o’clock the party started. People sang, danced, played short plays and even made jokes. They were very excited and interested. After our English teacher sang an English song, we all began to dance happily. The whole party was full of joy and laughter.

We had our lunch at school together. In the afternoon some students watched programmes on TV. Some boys held a football match. Some of us never has such a good time on New Year’s Day. What a happy day we had! And I’ll never forget it.

―How about being able to provide for your family?‖ A blonde girl named Sandy in the front suggested as an answer.

―Now we’re getting closer,‖ Mr Gruber smiled, ―but try thinking about what you need and what you want.‖

―Getting everything you want.‖ Tom shouted out an answer again, trying for more laughs. Mr Gruber sighed. ― I believe we’ve already talked about excess versus(与…比较) success.‖ ―Getting everything you need, but some of what you want?‖ James, sitting in the back wondered aloud.

―Quite right!‖ Mr Gruber clapped. ―Success is getting everything you need and some of what you want. The more you get that you want, the more successful you are. You do reach a point where you are living in excess, though.‖

―What does this have to do with business?‖ Tom asked. It seemed if it wasn’t funny, he wasn’t happy.

―Well, Tom, think of it this way: the point of business is to make a living to support your family. Once you have properly seen to (确保) their needs, you can then see to getting the extras that you want.‖

―What if I don’t have a family?‖ he continued to be difficult.

―Then you have to provide for yourself, a family of one.‖
