Yesterday was my birthday, so some of my classmates sent me presents. Mother prepared a tea party for me. I invited all of them to come and take part in it.The tea party began at half past six. There were cold drinks and refreshments. We ate, talked and laughed. We felt that we were the happiest men in the world.Time passed quickly. In a twinkling, the clock on the wall struck nine. We could not but say “Good-bye” to one another.
昨天是我生日，所以有幾位我的同班同學送我禮。母親給我準備壹個茶會。我邀請他們都前來參加。茶會下午六點半開始。有冷飲和點心。我們又吃又談又笑。我們覺得是世界上最快樂的人。時間過得很快。轉瞬間，墻上的鐘敲九點了。我們不得不互道再見。
MY DAILY LIFE 我的日常生活
Though my daily life is extremely monotonous, I try hard to adapt myself to it. Why? Because I intend to be a good student. I wish to render service to my country.
I get up at six o’clock every day. After I wash my face and brush my teeth, I begin to review my lessons. I go to school at seven o’clock.
After school is over, I return home. We usually have supper at seven o’clock.then I begin to do my homework. I want to finish it before I go to bed.
雖然我的日常生活十分單調，但我卻竭力設法去適應它。為什麽？因為我打算做壹個好學生，希望將來為國家服務。
我每天六點起床、洗臉刷牙後，就開始復習功課，七點鐘我就去上學。
放學後，我就回家了。我們通常在七點鐘吃晚餐，之後我就開始做家庭作業，希望在睡覺前把它做完.
MY NATIVE TOWN 我的故鄉
My native town is X. We have settled down here since my grandfather was a child. In other words, my family has lived here for more than one hundred years.
It is a small village. there are about one thousand inhabitants. Most of them are farmers. The mode of their living is very simple. However, they have already possessed television sets and refrigerators. They made up their minds to live a modern life.
我的故鄉是X。我們自從祖父是小孩時，就定居在此地。換句話說，我們家人在此地已經住了壹百余年了。
這個小村莊。居民大約有壹千人。他們大部分是農夫。他們的生活方式很簡單。然而，他們已擁有電視和冰箱。他們下定決心要過壹個現代的生活。
Work and Play(工作與娛樂)
Work and play do not contradict each other; in fact, they complement each other. As the saying goes, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." A life burdened with work leads you nowhere, for you would get tired and bored with your daily routine work. On the other hand, proper recreation will relieve the tension and discomfort of our monotonous life because it offers you various ways to let out your pent-up emotions.
What I usually do to relax after school is jogging and seeing movies. Usually I don't spare time for exercise, but I value the physical education class at school. Jogging several rounds in the field certainly relieves the day's pressure. On weekends, I'll catch the morning movie for my visual enjoyment. I feel revived and energetic for another week's work-load.
工作與娛樂並不互相沖突，事實上，它們之間的關系還相輔相成。有句格言說：「整日工作而沒有休閑娛樂，會令人變得沈悶乏味。」被工作重擔壓得喘不過氣來的生活，將使妳壹事無成，因為妳將對壹成不變的例行公事感到厭煩。由另壹方面來說，適度的娛樂活動能提供各種管道，來渲泄妳被壓抑的情緒，減輕單調生活中的緊張與不悅。
放學之後，我最常做的休閑活動，便是慢跑與看電影。通常我並不特地撥出時間來做運動，但是我很重視學校的體育課。在操場上慢跑幾圈，無疑地可以減輕壹天的壓力。在周末時，我都去看早場電影，享受視覺饗宴。如此壹來，我將有如再生般的充沛活力，去面對下壹星期的工作量。

Water
Water is very important for living things. Without water there can be no life on earth. All animals and plants need water. Man also needs water.
Water is found atmosteverywhere. Even in the driest part of the world there is some water in the air.
As we all have found out, water may be a solid, or a liquid or a gas.When it isa solid, it may be as hard as brick, When itis a liquid, you can pour it out of a container. When it is a gas, you cannot see or feel it.
Although about 70 percent of the earth’s surface is covered with water,there are many places in the world still running out of water. So we should make good use of water on earth.
水
水對生物很重要，沒有水，地球上就沒有生命。所有的動植物都需要水。人類也需要水。
水幾乎無處不在。即使在世界上最幹燥的地方，空氣中也有水。
水，正如妳所了解的，有固態、液態和氣態。當它是固態時，它可以像磚壹樣硬；當它是液態時，妳可以將它從容器中倒出；當它是氣態時，妳看不見或感覺不到它。
雖然地球表面70％是水覆蓋著，世界上仍有許多地方缺水。所以我們要好好利用地球上的水。
