學校露營活動
上周末，我們學校有一個學校的野營活動，我和我的親密的同學參加了活動，他們的名字是Mike
。我們在上午10點到達目的地，領導者告訴我們，「現在，你可以找到一個你想要的地方，並把你的東西放在地上。然後你可以看看周圍的風景，但你必須在12點以前回來。有沒有人有任何問題嗎？」大家都說，「沒問題。」
湯姆和我收集的楓樹和雲杉的葉，有很多不同的顏色，是美麗的。我們看到其他同學看，螞蟻移動食物，螞蟻排成一條線像軍隊行走，它是很有趣的！我看見琳達和瑪麗走在溪流裡面…他們彼此撥水玩，和他們互相撥水，他們玩得很開心！

我現在很難忘記和朋友在一起度過的那個聖誕晚會
這個聖誕節，我邀請了一些朋友到我家來一起慶祝聖誕節，我們將房子裝飾了一下，就像一個魔法世界。說實話，我們還都沒有過這樣的經歷。我們聚集在一起，唱歌，跳舞。我的一個朋友還打扮的很像聖誕老人。他收集了我們所有的禮物，把它們都放在一個袋子里，然後讓我們再從中選擇一樣。這樣我們可以得到所有朋友的最好祝福。
我么還討論了很多關於我們的友誼以及其他有趣的事情，我們所有人都認為這個夜晚是非常有價值的

第一句話有些問題，用surprise有些不妥，和後文沒有什麼關系。你可以寫成「 was very happy yesterday」或者「yesterday was a fine day」.「There were lots and lots of people there」這句話有問題應改為There were lots of people there.
"The people was sang,danced and played chess there."People前不加"the"
而且這句話語法有問題，應該改為People sang danced and played chess.「be+doing」是現在進行時不適合用在這里，因為整篇文章用的都是過去時，文章時態要統一
「the food was Chinese food」這個我也不確定對不對，但覺得怪怪的，可以換一種方式來講「We ate Chinese food.」
「they were very delicious」這句話不對，因為Cinese food是不可數名詞，一般看作單數所以應改成「It was very delicious.」
"Then we saw Chinese dancing in there."這句也有問題。「there"是副詞，副詞前不加定冠詞「the」
「 I want learn this dancing」這句時態錯了，應該是「wanted」還有應該是「I wanted to learn this dancing」這里有一個動詞不定式「want to do something」
「It's a very prefect day!」時態錯誤！應是「It was a very prefect day！」
上面的都是我自己改的，應該都對，你自己仔細再看一下，有好多東西可能小學還沒有教過，所以你錯得比較多，不過沒有關系的，以後在初中里都會講的。你一定要再接再厲哦！謝謝~~~

Beijing is the capital of my country and there are many places of interests, such as the Great Wall , the Summer Palace.

I have many hobbies, but today I would like to share one of my hobbies with all of you.
I like raising fish. One of my most important thing is feeding fish. Every morning I usually go feeding my fish after I get up. I cannot feed too much or too little so fish won't be uncomfortable. Another important thing is to change the water for fish. I usually change the water once a week so that they will not get sick. And I usually use the dirty water to water my plants because I can save water. It is good to our environment. Sometimes my fish jumps out of the fish tank, so I have to use a net to catch them!
That is my hobby-- raising fish. It brings me much happiness. For example, my only koi fish, Susie, is my lucky fish. It has accompanied me for near four years! I love my raising fish. How about your hobby? Can you tell me yours?
The sky misses white clouds, just as I miss home, but I always can not meet my hometown.

I miss home! I miss my grandmother, miss her sweet hug!

We played funny games, and they sang a birthday song and lighted the candles. I made a wish and blew all the candles. Then we ate the birthday cake together. I opened the gifts from my parents and friends. I had a really wonderful birthday party.
We have an English teacher. She is Miss Zhou. She has a pair of big black eyes and her ears are small. Her favourite season is summer. Why? Because in summer, she can take the students out to have a picnic, and also can take our class to participate in various activities. We like her very much, and we respect her. Because she often helps us when we are in trouble, teaching us how to deal with different kinds of problems. In our view, our English teacher is very good and competent.
I will never forget that moment when I was pressing the buttons on the phone .I was entering a hot line to find out my results in the final examination of junior school. I remember having a hopeful but anxious feeling in my stomach. Kill or cure? The big moment had come. On hearing the voice say "Congratulations! You come top in the exam." I cheered up.」You made it!" I just smiled a big smile to myself. The success really encouraged me a lot.
There is no doubt that for the youth the Internet is an important tool for study. Nothing can be compared with its convenient operation, high speed and varied information resources. As long as you click what you need, you』ll get a great deal of information picked out in such a short time. Besides outputting the information, at the same time, you can input your own works and send them to the Internet. In this way you can have more opportunities to share the tremendous spiritual excitement with the ones who have common goals. By comparison, the youth prefer to spend the long and friendless evenings in front of the computer—it seems to be the only form of entertainment. They have a variety of experiences: from the chat to the love online, from the network game to the network crime. Perhaps they have led the cultural trend of the network, and they are the spreader of the Internet culture.
The old, however, sometimes imagine the Internet to be a sort of place full of mystery. They often failed to understand how the 『net』 works. One thing is certain, however, they always go into raptures at the mere mention the Internet. They are forever talking with a proud about how skilled their grandsons operating the computer and surf the Internet, or the fantastic the Internet trip they went on their own ----after that, they never forget to list the privilege of modern science one by one, and make a conclusion that how fast the science and technology developed.
No one can avoid being influenced.
Spring is coming! The weather is fine. We can see flowers booming, and hear birds singing. I am very happy. Let's embrace spring together. The sun shines brightly and warmly. Peach blossoms beautifully like smiling face. Pear flowers also come out, so white. Willow begins to turn green and is dancing with the gentle wind. Everything is so beautiful. At school, all flowers are blooming. The grass is nodding and smiling to me. The breeze is blowing over my face. I like lying down on the grass and listening to the birds singing.
It is green everywhere, and it is colorful everywhere. How beautiful the spring is! I love spring!

1.Correct Directions
First of all, Xiao Hong could ask a passer-by for directions.Since it was a sunny day, she could also use the position of the sun to tell the directions. And finally she could also replace the signpost so that it correctly named the direction she had come from. Then it would be correct for all the other directions.
辨明方向
首先，小紅可以向過路人詢問方向。既然那天天氣晴朗，她可以通過太陽來確定方向。第三種方法是，她可以把路標扶起來，路標會准確地顯示她來的方向。然後她就可以辨明其他幾個方向了。
2. Early Rising
Early rising benefits us in many ways.
First, it helps to keep us fit. We all need fresh air. Besides, by taking morning exercises we can improve our health.
Second, it can help us in our studies. In the morning we can learn more quickly.
Third, it can enable us to plan our work for the day. We cannot work well without a proper plan. Early rising can also give us enough time to get ready for our work.
So we say that those who always get up late should make great effort to get up early.
早起
早起，在許多方面都給我們帶來好處。
首先，它使我們健康。我們大家都需要新鮮空氣；此外，通過晨練，我們增進了健康。
其次，它對我們的學習有幫助。早晨，我們可以學得更多更快。
再次，它使我們可以安排好一天的工作。如果計劃不好，我們的工作就做不好。早起也能給我們足夠的時間去准備我們的工作。
因此，我們勸那些愛睡懶覺的人應當努力早起啊。
3. Opportunity and Success
Opportunity is one of the elements of success. But opportunities don't come often. And not all the opportunities can certainly lead to success. Moreover, opportunities are usually disguised as hard work; therefore most people don't recognize them. So if you want to achieve something, you must make efforts and get prepared. Otherwise, you will take no advantage of opportunities when they come to you. In my opinion, there are plenty of opportunities for everyone in our society, but only those who have made enough preparations and are highly talented can make use of them to achieve their purpose.
機遇是成功的因素之一。但是機遇並不經常光顧，而且並不是所有機遇都必然導向成功。除此之外，機遇通常就在刻苦的工作中，只是許多人覺察不到而已。因此如果你想成就事業，就必須努力工作以做好迎接機遇的准備。否則，即便機遇來了你也會失去它。我認為，我們社會中的每個人都有許多機遇，但只有那些做好充足准備的有才能的人才會利用機遇取得成功。

Of the motherland, and I'm proud of you
, for any people, are so sacred, so intimate. I know that the great motherland is our mother, because each of us life, joy and happiness are related to the safety of the motherland are closely related, closely connected, I am living in the warm embrace of the motherland is how much pride.
Increase with age, I learned from the classroom and in the books more and more aware of our motherland is a long history of five thousand years of ancient civilization. She has a vast territory of 9.6 million square kilometers, has universally acclaimed Chinese culture, has a well known overseas, four great inventions, a stretch thousands of miles of the Great Wall, the world's eighth wonder of the Qin terracotta warriors and horses, the magnificent Imperial Palace in Beijing, Suzhou, unparalleled garden, there is a wealth of treasures and beautiful scenery ... ... five thousand years of history, like an old poem, like a long scroll, demonstrating the motherland that has experienced many vicissitudes in the face and body strong and unyielding.
For the motherland's bright and strong, I do not know how many of the revolutionary martyrs to shed its blood, so that the motherland break free chains, a new life; How many patriots, stand by a common fate with the motherland. Fate of the nation, every citizen is used to be fathers of rhetoric, the face of broken rivers and mountains, we are the older generation of proletarian revolutionaries one after another, for the motherland's prosperity and happiness of the people of the party.
Whenever I see the five-star red flag raised, ears hear the majestic strains of Anthem, the always felt blood boil, there are stocks from the heart cries: the motherland, and I'm proud of you.（約290字）
參考譯文：
祖國,我為你驕傲
母親,對於任何人來說,都是那麼神聖,那麼親切。我知道祖國是我們的偉大母親,因為我們每個人的生命、歡樂和幸福都與祖國母親的安危息息相關,緊密相連,我感到身在祖國溫暖的懷抱中是多麼的驕傲。
隨著年齡的增長,我從課堂上和書本上越來越多地了解到我們的祖國是一個具有五千年悠久歷史的文明古國。她有著九百六十萬平方公里的廣闊疆土,有著有口皆碑的中華文化,有著飲譽海外的「四大發明」,有綿延萬里的長城,世界第八大奇跡秦兵馬俑,壯麗的北京故宮,無與倫比的蘇州園林,還有豐富的寶藏和秀麗的風光……五千年的歷史,像一首古老的詩篇,也像一幅長長的畫卷,展現著祖國母親飽經滄桑的臉和那堅強不屈的身軀。 為了祖國的光明和富強,不知有多少革命先烈拋頭顱灑熱血,使祖國掙脫鐵鏈,獲得新生;又有多少愛國志士, 與祖國同甘苦共命運。「國家興亡,匹夫有則」曾是先輩們的豪言壯語,面對破碎的河山,我們老一輩無產階級革命家前赴後繼,為祖國的富強和人民的幸福而奮斗。
每當我看到五星紅旗升起,耳聽雄壯的《義勇軍進行曲》時,總會感到熱血沸騰,有股發自內心的呼喊:祖國,我為你驕傲。

•第一篇：Youth 青春
Youth
Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.
Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20. Nobody grows old merely by a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals.
Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to st.
Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being』s heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing appetite for what』s next and the joy of the game of living. In the center of your heart and my heart, there is a wireless station; so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, courage and power from man and from the infinite, so long as you are young.
When your aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you』ve grown old, even at 20; but as long as your aerials are up, to catch waves of optimism, there』s hope you may die young at 80.
譯文：
青春
青春不是年華，而是心境；青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝，而是深沉的意志，恢宏的想像，炙熱的戀情；青春是生命的深泉在涌流。
青春氣貫長虹，勇銳蓋過怯弱，進取壓倒苟安。如此銳氣，二十後生而有之，六旬男子則更多見。年歲有加，並非垂老，理想丟棄，方墮暮年。
歲月悠悠，衰微只及肌膚；熱忱拋卻，頹廢必致靈魂。憂煩，惶恐，喪失自信，定使心靈扭曲，意氣如灰。
無論年屆花甲，擬或二八芳齡，心中皆有生命之歡樂，奇跡之誘惑，孩童般天真久盛不衰。人人心中皆有一台天線，只要你從天上人間接受美好、希望、歡樂、勇氣和力量的信號，你就青春永駐，風華常存。 、
一旦天線下降，銳氣便被冰雪覆蓋，玩世不恭、自暴自棄油然而生，即使年方二十，實已垂垂老矣；然則只要樹起天線，捕捉樂觀信號，你就有望在八十高齡告別塵寰時仍覺年輕。
•第二篇： Three Days to See(Excerpts)假如給我三天光明（節選）
Three Days to See
All of us have read thrilling stories in which the hero had only a limited and specified time to live. Sometimes it was as long as a year, sometimes as short as 24 hours. But always we were interested in discovering just how the doomed hero chose to spend his last days or his last hours. I speak, of course, of free men who have a choice, not condemned criminals whose sphere of activities is strictly delimited.
Such stories set us thinking, wondering what we should do under similar circumstances. What events, what experiences, what associations should we crowd into those last hours as mortal beings, what regrets?
Sometimes I have thought it would be an excellent rule to live each day as if we should die tomorrow. Such an attitude would emphasize sharply the values of life. We should live each day with gentleness, vigor and a keenness of appreciation which are often lost when time stretches before us in the constant panorama of more days and months and years to come. There are those, of course, who would adopt the Epicurean motto of 「Eat, drink, and be merry」. But most people would be chastened by the certainty of impending death.
In stories the doomed hero is usually saved at the last minute by some stroke of fortune, but almost always his sense of values is changed. He becomes more appreciative of the meaning of life and its permanent spiritual values. It has often been noted that those who live, or have lived, in the shadow of death bring a mellow sweetness to everything they do.
Most of us, however, take life for granted. We know that one day we must die, but usually we picture that day as far in the future. When we are in buoyant health, death is all but unimaginable. We seldom think of it. The days stretch out in an endless vista. So we go about our petty tasks, hardly aware of our listless attitude toward life.
The same lethargy, I am afraid, characterizes the use of all our faculties and senses. Only the deaf appreciate hearing, only the blind realize the manifold blessings that lie in sight. Particularly does this observation apply to those who have lost sight and hearing in alt life. But those who have never suffered impairment of sight or hearing seldom make the fullest use of these blessed faculties. Their eyes and ears take in all sights and sounds hazily, without concentration and with little appreciation. It is the same old story of not being grateful for what we have until we lose it, of not being conscious of health until we are ill.
I have often thought it would be a blessing if each human being were stricken blind and deaf for a few days at some time ring his early alt life. Darkness would make him more appreciative of sight; silence would teach him the joys of sound.
譯文：
假如給我三天光明（節選）
我們都讀過震撼人心的故事，故事中的主人公只能再活一段很有限的時光，有時長達一年，有時卻短至一日。但我們總是想要知道，註定要離世人的會選擇如何度過自己最後的時光。當然，我說的是那些有選擇權利的自由人，而不是那些活動范圍受到嚴格限定的死囚。
這樣的故事讓我們思考，在類似的處境下，我們該做些什麼？作為終有一死的人，在臨終前的幾個小時內我們應該做什麼事，經歷些什麼或做哪些聯想？回憶往昔，什麼使我們開心快樂？什麼又使我們悔恨不已？
有時我想，把每天都當作生命中的最後一天來邊，也不失為一個極好的生活法則。這種態度會使人格外重視生命的價值。我們每天都應該以優雅的姿態，充沛的精力，抱著感恩之心來生活。但當時間以無休止的日，月和年在我們面前流逝時，我們卻常常沒有了這種子感覺。當然，也有人奉行「吃，喝，享受」的享樂主義信條，但絕大多數人還是會受到即將到來的死亡的懲罰。
在故事中，將死的主人公通常都在最後一刻因突降的幸運而獲救，但他的價值觀通常都會改變，他變得更加理解生命的意義及其永恆的精神價值。我們常常注意到，那些生活在或曾經生活在死亡陰影下的人無論做什麼都會感到幸福。
然而，我們中的大多數人都把生命看成是理所當然的。我們知道有一天我們必將面對死亡，但總認為那一天還在遙遠的將來。當我們身強體健之時，死亡簡直不可想像，我們很少考慮到它。日子多得好像沒有盡頭。因此我們一味忙於瑣事，幾乎意識不到我們對待生活的冷漠態度。
我擔心同樣的冷漠也存在於我們對自己官能和意識的運用上。只有聾子才理解聽力的重要，只有盲人才明白視覺的可貴，這尤其適用於那些成年後才失去視力或聽力之苦的人很少充分利用這些寶貴的能力。他們的眼睛和耳朵模糊地感受著周圍的景物與聲音，心不在焉，也無所感激。這正好我們只有在失去後才懂得珍惜一樣，我們只有在生病後才意識到健康的可貴。
我經常想，如果每個人在年輕的時候都有幾天失時失聰，也不失為一件幸事。黑暗將使他更加感激光明，寂靜將告訴他聲音的美妙。
•第三篇：Companionship of Books 以書為伴（節選）
Companionship of Books
A man may usually be known by the books he reads as well as by the company he keeps; for there is a companionship of books as well as of men; and one should always live in the best company, whether it be of books or of men.
A good book may be among the best of friends. It is the same today that it always was, and it will never change. It is the most patient and cheerful of companions. It does not turn its back upon us in times of adversity or distress. It always receives us with the same kindness; amusing and instructing us in youth, and comforting and consoling us in age.
Men often discover their affinity to each other by the mutual love they have for a book just as two persons sometimes discover a friend by the admiration which both entertain for a third. There is an old proverb, 『Love me, love my dog.」 But there is more wisdom in this:」 Love me, love my book.」 The book is a truer and higher bond of union. Men can think, feel, and sympathize with each other through their favorite author. They live in him together, and he in them.
A good book is often the best urn of a life enshrining the best that life could think out; for the world of a man』s life is, for the most part, but the world of his thoughts. Thus the best books are treasuries of good words, the golden thoughts, which, remembered and cherished, become our constant companions and comforters.
Books possess an essence of immortality. They are by far the most lasting procts of human effort. Temples and statues decay, but books survive. Time is of no account with great thoughts, which are as fresh today as when they first passed through their author』s minds, ages ago. What was then said and thought still speaks to us as vividly as ever from the printed page. The only effect of time have been to sift out the bad procts; for nothing in literature can long survive e but what is really good.
Books introce us into the best society; they bring us into the presence of the greatest minds that have ever lived. We hear what they said and did; we see the as if they were really alive; we sympathize with them, enjoy with them, grieve with them; their experience becomes ours, and we feel as if we were in a measure actors with them in the scenes which they describe.
The great and good do not die, even in this world. Embalmed in books, their spirits walk abroad. The book is a living voice. It is an intellect to which on still listens.
譯文：
以書為伴（節選）
通常看一個讀些什麼書就可知道他的為人，就像看他同什麼人交往就可知道他的為人一樣，因為有人以人為伴，也有人以書為伴。無論是書友還是朋友，我們都應該以最好的為伴。
好書就像是你最好的朋友。它始終不渝，過去如此，現在如此，將來也永遠不變。它是最有耐心，最令人愉悅的伴侶。在我們窮愁潦倒，臨危遭難時，它也不會拋棄我們，對我們總是一如既往地親切。在我們年輕時，好書陶冶我們的性情，增長我們的知識；到我們年老時，它又給我們以慰藉和勉勵。
人們常常因為喜歡同一本書而結為知已，就像有時兩個人因為敬慕同一個人而成為朋友一樣。有句古諺說道：「愛屋及屋。」其實「愛我及書」這句話蘊涵更多的哲理。書是更為真誠而高尚的情誼紐帶。人們可以通過共同喜愛的作家溝通思想，交流感情，彼此息息相通，並與自己喜歡的作家思想相通，情感相融。
好書常如最精美的寶器，珍藏著人生的思想的精華，因為人生的境界主要就在於其思想的境界。因此，最好的書是金玉良言和崇高思想的寶庫，這些良言和思想若銘記於心並多加珍視，就會成為我們忠實的伴侶和永恆的慰藉。
書籍具有不朽的本質，是為人類努力創造的最為持久的成果。寺廟會倒坍，神像會朽爛，而書卻經久長存。對於偉大的思想來說，時間是無關緊要的。多年前初次閃現於作者腦海的偉大思想今日依然清新如故。時間惟一的作用是淘汰不好的作品，因為只有真正的佳作才能經世長存。
書籍介紹我們與最優秀的人為伍，使我們置身於歷代偉人巨匠之間，如聞其聲，如觀其行，如見其人，同他們情感交融，悲喜與共，感同身受。我們覺得自己彷彿在作者所描繪的舞台上和他們一起粉墨登場。
即使在人世間，偉大傑出的人物也永生不來。他們的精神被載入書冊，傳於四海。書是人生至今仍在聆聽的智慧之聲，永遠充滿著活力。 可夠來？
