嘿嘿，不知道你需要幾年級的
I』ve loved my mother』s desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as mother sat doing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the more wonderful thing in the world.
Years later, ring her final illness, mother kept different things for my sister and brother. 「But the desk,」 she』d said again, 「it』s for Elizabeth. 」
I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed it in action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter.
They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was 「too emotional(易動感情的)」. But she lived 「on the surface(表面)」.
As years passed I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive(原諒) me.
I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came.
My hope turned to disappointment(失望), then little interest and, finally, peace— it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn』t be sure that the letter had even got to mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.
Now the present of her desk told, as she』d never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside —a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded(折疊) and refolded many times.
Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose. Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.

I worked for a short time as a cashier(出納員) at a restaurant a few months ago. I also helped to clean up the tables when it was very busy. One night, just before Christmas, I found a large black wallet on the floor near one of the tables. I guessed I should check it to find out who was the owner, but I was very busy at the time. And I imagined that if there was something valuable(有價值的) in the wallet, the owner would be back. Sure enough, an hour later a man came up to the counter and asked if anyone had found a wallet. I asked him to describe the lost wallet, and after he described it exactly, I gave him the wallet. He expressed his thanks when I handed it to him. He asked me if I had opened it, and when I told him 「no」. At once he opened it and showed that it had nearly $ 800 in cash(現金). He took out a twenty-dollar bill and handed it to me and I was amazed at this. 「A reward(酬勞) for your honesty,」 he said and then turned and walked away.
Thinking about it later, I began wondering whether I would have been honest if I had known what was in the wallet! I thought that if I had no way to find the owner and no one returned to get it, I might keep it. But it also came into my mind that I actually saved someone』s Christmas plans by finding and returning the wallet. The good feeling it gave me was worth more than anything could buy.

In 1605, a scientist took a willow branch(柳枝) and planted it. He didn』t plant it in the ground, however. He planted it in a vase of soil(泥土). For the next five years, the scientist watered that willow carefully.
The willow grew and grew. Where did it get the food for its growth? To most people, this was an easy question. The willow plant, of course, took the food from the soil.
The scientist, however, wanted evidence(證據).If the willow took the food from the soil for its growth, then, as it grew and weighed more, the soil ought to weigh less. He weighed the willow branch before he planted it. It weighed five pounds. Then he weighed the soil. It weighed 200 pounds. After five years, he weighed the plant and the soil again. The willow tree weighed 169 pounds, but the soil weighed almost the same.
The result(結果) was surprising. Where did the 164 pounds come from?
After many investigations(調查), the scientist got the answer. He had given water to the willow, and the willow got its food from the water.
He was right, in a way. Today we know more about the question.
1. The scientist did the experiment in the sixteenth century.
2. Most people thought the plant got the food from the soil for its growth.
3. The soil in the vase weighed two hundred pounds.
4. The scientist found that the willow grew and weighed more and the soil weighed less.
5. The soil weighed 164 pounds after five years.
6. Now we know about the question as much as the scientist did.

《別讓蠟燭熄滅》
A man had a little daughter—an only and much-loved child. He lived for her—she was his life. So when she became ill, he became like a man possessed, moving heaven and earth to bring about her restoration to health。
一個男人有一個很小的女兒，那是他唯一的孩子，他深深地愛著她，為她而活，她就是他的生命。所以，當女兒生病時，他像瘋了一般竭盡全力想讓她恢復健康。
His best efforts, however, proved unavailing and the child died. The father became a bitter recluse, shutting himself away from his many friends and refusing every activity that might restore his poise and bring him back to his normal self. But one night he had a dream。
然而，他所有的努力都無濟於事，女兒還是死了。父親變得痛苦遁世，避開了許多朋友，拒絕參加一切能使他恢復平靜，回到自我的活動。但有一天夜裡，他做了一個夢。
He was in heaven, witnessing a grand pageant of all the little child angels. They were marching in a line passing by the Great White Throne. Every white-robed angelic child carried a candle. He noticed that one child's candle was not lighted. Then he saw that the child with the dark candle was his own little girl. Rushing to her, he seized her in his arms, caressed her tenderly, and then asked, "How is it, darling, that your candle alone is unlighted?" "Daddy, they often relight it, but your tears always put it out."
他到了天堂，看到所有的小天使都身穿白色天使衣，手裡拿著一根蠟燭。他注意到有一個小天使的蠟燭沒有點亮。隨後，他看到那個拿著沒有點亮的蠟燭的小天使是自己的女兒。他奔過去，一把將女兒抱在懷里，溫柔地抱著她，然後問道：「寶貝兒，為什麼只有你的蠟燭沒有點亮呢？」「爸爸，他們經常重新點亮蠟燭，可是你的眼淚總是把它熄滅。」
Just then he awoke from his dream. The lesson was crystal clear, and its effects were immediate. From that hour on he was not a recluse, but mingled freely and cheerfully with his former friends and associates. No longer would his darling's candle be extinguished by his useless tears。
就在這時，他從夢中醒來。夢給他上的一課很明顯，而且立竿見影。從那個時候起，他不再消極遁世，而是自由自在，興高采烈的回到從前的朋友和同事們中間。寶貝女兒的蠟燭再也沒有被他無用的眼淚熄滅過。

中文：時間很重要
時間很重要。人人每天有二十四小時，每年有三百六十五天，一旦我們生命中的一天消逝，就再也不會回來。我們要是熱愛生命，就不應該浪費時間。我們應該掌握時間。使用時間的最好辦法就是好好計劃時間。
在制定學習計劃時，我們應該記住兩件事。第一，應該現實一些，不要企圖干太多的事情。第二，好的計劃要靈活一點。我們可以每周做些小的變動，但總的模式不變。
讓我們當時間的主人，今天就開始我們的計劃。
English:
Time is important. Everyone has 24 hours in a day. There are 365 days in a year. Once a day runs out in our life, it will never come back again. If we love our lives, we shouldn』t waste time. We must control time. The best way to use time is to plan it well.
When making the study plan, we should remember two things. First, be realistic. Don』t try to do too many things. Second, a good study plan should be flexible. We may make some small changes on a weekly basis but follow the same pattern.
Let』s be the master of time, start out plan now.

雅思小作文是寫作中的部分，對於烤鴨來說也有著舉足輕重的作用，在考前，小編給大家深度解析在小作文的各類題目，以便大家對此更加了解。
在雅思寫作考中，部分小作文，雖然小作文的分值不高，但是烤鴨也應該要先去盡量完全它，為幫大了解它，小編深度解析小作文中的各種題目。
圖表類題目
想要解這種題我們要先來了解下西方人的思維模式：西方人做事情往往是跟我們東方人不樣，西方人往往是講究數字的，即他們都會使用種統計數據，資料來源，實驗，以及還有報告來突出實事求是的學術精神;他們會用客觀的數據事實來支持你的個人觀點。
所以上海環球雅思培訓老師認為如果你要到西方去留學，那麼用數據描述統計圖表的能力幾乎都是每門課的教授所要求學生掌握的，同時也是學生寫論文時常常要掌握的能力之。所以，圖表類的小作文已經占據到了小作文出題次數80%以上的比例。
流程圖和地圖題題目
流程圖的原理是：描述事物工作原理以及具體的流程。主要的目的是針對理工科學生在論文中需要描述機械原理，工藝流程。但是由於目前到海外去讀工科的學生並不多，所以流程圖出題的概率相對來說並不高，年大概也就3-5次左右。
地圖題的原理是：需要去描述某個地區或者圖紙布局的變化。主要的目的是讓學生學會方位的表達，尤其是針對那些將來要到海外去學城市規劃，地產開發，以及還有園林布局等專業的學生。但是因為這些學生的數量相對來說也不多，所以地圖題年的出題概率可能也不高，年大概也就那麼3-4次左右。
