1 My sweet home
我的甜蜜之家
Most people has a sweet home, so have I. I think my home is sweet because it is my best place to have rest or have fun with my friends or my parents.
许多人拥有一个甜蜜的家,我也有。我认为我的家是甜蜜的,因为它是我休息、与父母、朋友一起玩乐的地方。
I can remember clearly. Once I came back home late because my teacher didn't want me leave until I finished my homework. At that time, the weather became colder and the wind became stronger. I was so hungry and cold at that time! I felt I can't take it any more, so I ran to my home quickly. When I got my home, I felt much more warmer and happiness than ever before!
我可以清楚地记着。有一次,直到我完成作业,老师才肯放我回家,所以我就回来晚了。那时候,天气更冷了,风也变得更大了。在那时,我又冷又饿。我觉得自己无法承受了,所以我迅速地跑回家。当我到家的时候,我感到从未有过的温暖和幸福。
That's why I love my sweet home. Don't you think so?
这就是为什么我爱自己的甜蜜之家。难道你不是这么认为的么?

We have only one globe
我们只有一个地球
Don't you see the heavy smokes from the big chimneys? Don't you smell the gas from the motors all around the streets? We've got much dirtier air! The iceburgs are melting from the warmer winter because of the air pollution!
难道你没有看到浓重的烟雾从大烟囱里冒出来吗?难道你没有在街上闻到从机动车上排出来的气体吗?我们得到太多肮脏的空气了!因为气体污染,冰山在暖冬的时候融化了不少。
Don't you see there are less lives in the water? Don't you see that we must pay higher cost in water processing? We've got much darker water running around! The oceans are in danger.
难道你没有看到水中的生物越来越少了吗?难道你没有看到我们必须花更多的成本加工水源吗?我们到处开采深水。海洋正处于危险之中。
Don't you see the mountains getting bald ? Don't you see our ground becoming hollow ? We've been exhausting the resources beneath the earth. Our grandchildren will live on nothing.
难道你没有看到山峰正变得光秃秃吗?难道你没有看到土地正变得空空的吗?我们正耗尽地下的资源。我们的孙儿将无法依靠任何事情生活下去。
We have only one globe. Treasure the mother nature!
我们只有一个地球。珍爱(孕育万物的)大自然吧!

How to keep healthy
如何保持健康
What is the most important thing in the world? I think it is health.You can take away our money, house, car, or even our clothes and we can survive. But if our health was taken away, we would surely die. That is why we always try to eat in a healthy way and exercise regularly.
什么是世界上最重要的事情?我想,答案应该是健康。我们可以在没有钱、房子、车子,甚至衣服的情况下,活着。但是如果我们的健康被带走了,我们肯定就活不下去了。这就是为什么我们总是努力以一种健康的方式吃东西和规律地运动。
In order to eat healthily, I usually avoid eating food high in fat, like french fries or cookies. I also eat little meat. I eat a lot of vegetables and fresh fruit which are full of vitamins. Taking exercise every day helps us build a strong body. Regular exercise is an important part of keeping me healthy.
为了能吃得健康,我常常避免吃高脂肪的食物,比如炸薯条或甜点。我也很少吃肉。我会吃很多的蔬菜和富含维他命的新鲜水果。每天做运动有助于我们拥有强健的身体。有规律的运动是我们保持身体健康的一个重要部分。
What's more, I think friends are an important part of one's health. Many studies show that people with a wide range of social contacts get sick less than those who don't. I always feel better when I am with friends than when I am alone. When I am with my friends, I always laugh. Laughing is also an important part of health. I like to laugh with my friends.
还有,我认为,朋友也是让我们保持健康的重要部分。许多研究显示,有复杂人际关系的人比较不容易得病。当我与朋友一起时,我总是感觉比单独一个人好。当我与朋友一起时,我总是笑声不断。欢笑也是健康的重要组成部分。我喜欢和朋友一起大笑。
By eating properly and exercising regularly, I can keep my body at a proper weight and keep healthy. By spending time with my friends, I can keep my mind as well as my body happy. These things sound easy to do, but not many people can manage them. I think a strong will is necessary if we want to keep healthy.
通过合理的饮食和规律性的运动,我可以保持身体健康和体重适中。与朋友一起的时光,可以让我的思想和身体一样开心。这些事情听起来很容易去做,但没有很多人能成功做到。我想,我们如果想要健康,那强大的意愿是需要的。

Fighting Criminals
打击犯罪
Today the crime rate in cities of our country is rising. Many citizens often complain about the thefts and robberies that have taken palce in the areas they live in and appeal to the governments at all levels to take effective measures to reduce the crime rate.
如今犯罪发生率在我国众多城市呈现出上升趋势。许多公民常常抱怨在他们生活的地方,偷窃和抢劫常发生。他们希望各级政府能采取有效措施来减少犯罪发生率。
Faced with criminals, some people are so frightened that they shamelessly give up the fight and other people turn a blind eye to them. However, some people are brave enough, to risk their lives to fight the criminals.Their fearless actions prevented the criminals from doing evils, saved the victims, and protected the public properties.
面对罪犯,好些人因为过于害怕而无耻地放弃了斗争,和其他人一样,睁一只眼闭一只眼。可是,还是有些人有足够的勇气与罪犯斗争。他们无惧罪犯的行动阻止了犯罪分子做邪恶的事情,拯救了受害者并保护了公共财产。
To reduce the crime rate, we all the people should receive a law education. Criminals must be severely punished. Meanwhile we should set up a foundation to reward those who fight criminals. It is also important to call on people to learn from those heroes and encourage more people to stand up to crime.
为了降低犯罪率,我们所有人都应该接受法制教育。罪犯必须受到严惩。同时,我们应该建立一个基金来奖励勇于与犯罪分子斗争的人。号召人们向英雄学习并鼓励更多的人抵抗犯罪也是一件非常重要的事情。

An Accident
意外
One sunny afternoon, when I was merrily riding home, I heard "Help! Help!".
一个晴朗的午后,当我高兴地骑车回家时,我听到(有人喊)“救命!救命!”。
I rode to the riverside and found a boy of about five in the river struggling. I jumped into the water, swam to the boy and dragged him to the river bank. The boy said he was trying to catch a fish near the river bank and carelessly fell into the water. I asked him where his home was and sent him home.
我(赶紧)骑到河边,发现一个大约5岁的男孩在河里挣扎。我(马上)跳进水里,游向男孩,并把他拖到岸边。男孩说他(刚刚)是在河边试着抓鱼,(后来),一不小心就掉进水里了。我要到了他家地址,并送他回家。
"Thank you very much!" The boy's parents said, when I left his home. Though I got home late that afternoon, I was very happy.
一当我要离开他们家的时候,那个男孩的父母说:“非常谢谢你!”尽管在那个下午,我回家晚了,但我还是很开心的。

Health or Wealth?
健康还是财富?
Which is more important, health or wealth? When given this question, different people have varied answers. Some insist that health plays a more important role in our life, while others see more advantages arising from wealth.
健康和财富,哪个更重要?当这个问题被提出来的时候,不同的人有不同的答案。有些人坚持认为,在我们生活中,健康扮演者更为重要的角色,然而其他人认为健康能带给我们更多利益。
The first group of people quote the old saying "Health is above wealth" to prove their idea. They argue that, on the one hand, a strong person can do almost anything as long as he/she tries hard. On the other hand, however, rich people will not be able to enjoy the wealth if their days are numbered.
支持健康更重要的人引用了一句俗语“健康就是财富”来证明他们的观点(是正确的)。他们认为,在某一方面来说,强壮的人,只要他们肯努力,那他们几乎能做任何事情。可是,从另一方面来说,如果有钱人活着的日子屈指可数的话,那他们将没法享受健康。
In contrast, the advocate s of wealth have such arguments as follows. For one thing, wealthy people will be able to buy more healthful foods. For another, they can enjoy better facilities to improve their health. Take my neighbor, Lao Wang, as an example. He had a heart attack and is in hospital. However, he cannot afford the expensive operation , which costs as much as 100,000 yuan. Therefore, he has to lie in bed hopelessly . If he were a rich man, his life could be saved.
相反地,支持财富更为重要的人就有以下的争论。首先,有钱的人能买到更有益健康的食物。其次,他们可以享受能提高健康的设备。举个例子来说,我的邻居老王,他有严重的心脏病,并且正在住院(接受治疗)。可是,他没办法负担高达100,000的手术治疗费.因此,他只能毫无希望地躺在病床上。如果他是一个有钱人,那他就能得到治疗。
As far as I am concerned, both health and wealth are important to our life. We should try to strike a balance between them and gain wealth with a healthy body.
我认为,健康和财富对我们生活都很重要。我们应该努力试着在这两者之间做到平衡,并将财富与健康的身体相伴。

My Dream
我的梦想
Yesterday, we had a discussion . The topic is"What is my dream?"Everyone has his dream. Some want to be teachers,others want to be scientists. My dream is to become a doctor.
昨天,我们有一个讨论。主题就是“我的梦想是什么?”每个人都有他的梦想。有些人想成为老师,其他人想成为科学家。我的梦想是成为一名医生。
My friends asked me why. I told them my story. When I was a small boy, I was very weak. Once I was terribly ill. I had a high fever. My parents sent me to the hospital but the doctors could do nothing for me. Then my parents heard there was a very good doctor in another town. They took me there at once. I was saved.
我的朋友问我为什么。我跟他们说了个故事。当我还是一个小男孩的时候,我的身体非常虚弱。有次,我生了一场很严重的病。我发着高烧。我的父母把我送到医院,但医生们不能为我做什么。那时,我的父母听闻在其他镇上,有位名医。他们马上把我带到那儿。(然后)我得救了。
A good doctor can save people's lives. From then on I decided to become a doctor. I know it is not easy to be a doctor.But I am determine d to study hard. I am sure my dream will come true.
一个好医生可以拯救一个人的生命。从此,我决定要成为一名医生。我知道做医生不容易。但是,我决定努力学习。我相信自己的梦想会实现。

Computer Games
电脑游戏
Computer games is a hot topic nowadays. Some people hold that it is bad. And others hold that it is good. In my view, whether good or bad is determined by the players.
现在,电脑游戏是一个非常火的话题。一些人认为电脑游戏是不好的(事物)。其他人则认为电脑游戏是好的。在我看来,电脑游戏的好坏是由玩游戏的人来决定的。
If one plays computer game properly in his spare time, computer games can be an excellent source of joy. For example, something impossible in your real life can be realized in the computer games. You can pilot a space craft and travel in the universe. Every coin has two sides. If one plays computer game excessivly, it may affects his eyesight and study.
如果一个人能在业余时间适度地玩电脑游戏,那电脑游戏会成为快乐的一个来源。举个例子,有些不可能在现实生活中发生的事,往往能在电脑游戏中实现。你可以驾驶宇宙飞船并在宇宙中畅游。每个硬币都有两面,有好就有坏。如果一个人过度地玩电脑游戏,那电脑游戏将影响他的视力和学习。
The computer games itself is only a tool like knife. If we use it properly, it can pare apples. But if we use it to attack others,it immediatly becomes an lethal weapon.
电脑游戏是一种像刀一样的工具。如果我们能恰当地使用小刀,那它能削去苹果皮。但如果我们用它攻击其他人的话,那它马上就会成为致命的武器。
谢的非常好!
