Spring
Spring is a delightful season. The temperatures are moderate, and the blooming trees and flowers make the city bright with colors. This is the time when we can begin to wear lighter and more brightly colored clothes and go outdoors more often. Smaller children like to bring their kites out to the spacious square. Also I enjoy going back to the village on this holiday after being in the city for the winter months.
春天
春天是个让人欣喜的季节.气温适中,挂满绿叶的树和盛开的花朵给城市增添了明亮的色彩.在这个时节里,我们可以穿上轻便靓丽的衣服经常出门去了.小孩子们则喜欢在广阔的天空中放风筝.在城里呆了一个冬天之后,我也喜欢回到村子里度假.
Summer
Summer is the GREat season for all sports in the open air. It is the season for football which is often called the national sport because of its popularity. I usually watch television and read the newspaper reports about the football results of the little leagues. During the summer I like to go to the beach often because it is very close to my home. I usually go there during the summer vacation to relax after many months in school in the city. I feel very comfortable with the familiar quiet life of the villagers.
夏天
夏天是户外运动最好的季节.这是一个橄榄球的季节,橄榄球由于广受欢迎被称为全民运动.我常常看电视,看报纸,从报道中获得小联盟橄榄球赛的比赛结果.夏日里,我喜欢经常去海滩,因为那里离我家不远.在城里的学校呆了几个月后,暑假我常常去那里放松一下.此处有我很熟悉的村民们的宁静生活,这让我倍感舒适.
Autumn
For me the autumn or fall starts in September when school starts its new term. I usually do some shopping. The mild weather made it very nice to study outside under the trees in a small park close to my house. I like to look up the leaves changing colors from GREen to red and yellow, and then brown colors. The park also has many bright fall flowers; sometimes I see a small squirrel coming down from the tree to hunt for food on the ground. On the weekends, I sometimes like to fly my kite. Usually on the street corners you can see street peddlers selling warm baked sweet potatoes. This is a nice time of the year.
我觉得秋天是在9月份新学期幵始的时候来临.我常常要去买一些东西.宜人的天气让我感觉在离家不远的小公园的树下学习是件非常惬意的事.我喜欢抬起头看蓍枝头上的树叶由绿变红,变黄,然后再变褐.公园里还有许多鲜艳的秋花.有时我会见到小松鼠从树上跳到地上觅食.在周末,我有时会去放风筝.在街头的拐角处,常常会有街头小贩在卖烤红薯.秋天是一年中的好时节.
Winter
Winter is very cold and windy in most parts of China. I usually look forward to the Spring Festival and the winter holiday when I can go to the south where the climate is warmer during these holidays. Also, I look forward to seeing my grandparents and my friends. Winter is the time everyone is in a festive mood. In the city, I usually do a lot of reading at home in the winter because of the cold weather outside.
中国大部分地区的冬天是即冷又有风的。我总是盼望着春节或寒假，到时候我就可以去南方了，当地的气候在这时会暖和的多。我也盼望着去探望我的祖父母和我的朋友。冬天，每个人都怀着喜庆的心情。在城里，冬天的时候我经常待在家里尽情地看书，因为外面的天气非常的冷。
Obeying the Traffic Laws
I am often very afraid to cross-large wide streets. I always go to the traffic light and use the crosswalk, but many times I have been frightened. When the light changes to GREen I still need to look both directions to check the traffic. On many occasions a speeding motorcycle or bicycle or once a truck drove past the red light and across the pedestrian's path. When I have my bicycle, I get off and walk across the street, but always someone crosses the red light. Once at the intersection near the shopping mall I saw an accident: a taxi had stopped for the light, and another truck came from behind and did not stop. For safety, it is very important for everyone to obey the traffic laws.
遵守交通规则
横过大宽马路时，我常会害怕。我总是看着信号灯，走人行横道。仅管这样，我还是被吓着了几次。当信号灯换成绿灯时，我还是要朝两边看一下。很多时候，超速行驶的摩托车或自行车甚至是卡车，都闯红灯穿过人行横道。当我骑车时,我就会下来,推着车子步行过马路, 但总有人闯红灯。一次，在靠近购物广场的那个十字路口，我见到了一起交通事故：一辆出租车停在那儿等红灯，但是它后面的卡车没停。所以，从安全计，每个人都遵守交通规则是很重要的。
My favorite Sports
During my secondary school years I often liked to go to the recreation room to play table tennis. Some of my classmates were very good at this game and I often tried to compete with them to improve my skill. In high school I spent many hours playing outdoor sports. I enjoyed team sports like basketball and volleyball. In my senior year I started to practice tennis. Sometimes I would find a partner to play tennis with me, but as yet I am not very good at this sport. Tennis requires GREat strength in the arms and legs as well as strong concentration on the game.
我最喜欢的运动
在我读中学的日子里，我常到活动室打乒乓球。我有些同学精于此道，我常与他们对抗以提高自己的技术。读高中时，我把大量的时间用来做户外运动，我喜欢团队的运动项目，比如篮球和排球。临毕业那年，我开始练乒乓球。有时我可以找到一个同伴陪我打，但是我打得不是很好。打乒乓球不仅需要强壮的臂力和腿部力量，还需要集中精力。
What do You Want to Be When You Grow Up?
This question and another similar question, "Have you decided what you will do after you finish school?" were among the most common questions people often asked me when I was a small child and then a student in school. Choosing the right career is very important. For this reason we should try to find out what our talents and interests are and how we can use them. There are many careers open to each of us. Many persons find their place in government service, and many others may be interested in going into the business world. Teaching, newspaper works, medicine, engineering, science -- these and many other fields offer fascinating careers to persons with talent and training.
长大后你想干什么？
这个问题和另一个相似的问题“你决定完成学业之后做什幺了吗？”是我小时候和在学校时人们问得最多的一个问题。选择一个适当的职业是非常重要的。因此，我们必需找出自己的天赋和兴趣所在并且要知道如何加以利用。我们每个人都面临着许多职业选择。一些人在政府机构找到了他们的位置，而另一些人则可能喜欢在商界驰骋。教育、新闻、医药、工程、科学等和其它许多行业给都有才能的人提供了丰富的就业机会。
My Friend
John is the most diligent student in our class. He is one of my friends. As a matter of fact, he gets along with his classmates. He might spend just five to ten minutes talking to you once in a long while, but he talks with enthusiasm and energy, and he likes to share his thinking and ideas with you. He is honest; he does not like to waste his time and energy. He never appears sleepy and tired in the classroom. He always hands in homework on time and also does well in his examinations, yet he has time practicing playing football and his violin skill. I admire him. I hope I can be as diligent as he is; John is persistent, attentive, and energetic.
John是我们班上最勤奋的学生。他也是我的一个朋友。实际上，他和班上的同学相处的都很融洽。也许过好长时间他才只是花5分钟或10分钟和你聊天，但是他的谈话充满了活力和热情，而且他喜欢和你分享他的思想和想法。他是诚实的，他不会无谓的浪费他的时间和精力。在教室里，他从没有显得困倦或是疲惫。他常常会按时交作业，考试中也会取得好成绩，然而他仍会有时间踢足球和练小提琴。我羡慕他，我希望自己能象他那样勤奋。John是个执着、专注、充满活力的人。
A Youth and His Country
The youth of today will help to shape the future of his country tomorrow. As a good citizen, he should prepare himself in his everyday life as well as in school for the contribution of his talent to his country. He should have ability or skill to work. He should keep well informed and help to inform others about what his country's problems are. He should try to find out and show what he can do for his country. Also he should be physically strong and mentally sound. As a responsible citizen, with his courage, enthusiasm, and love, he will help to make his country one of which all its citizens can be proud.
今日青年
今日的青年将肩负他们国家的未来。作为一个好公民，他应该在日常生活中和在学校时一样准备着把自己的聪明才智贡献给国家。他应有一定工作能力和技能，他应该清楚的知道，并且帮助别人了解他们国家的问题所在。他应该知道且显示他能够为他的国家做些什么。同时他应该有强健的体魄和良好的精神状态。作为一个有责任感的公民，他将会用他的勇气、热情和爱心使他的国家成为全民都为之自豪的国度。
My Career Plan
During my high school years, I have found chemistry, physics, and mathematics interesting. Actually, I am interested in many subjects such as history, and English. But somehow I cannot remember the historical events or the facts in detail. I cannot remember English words well, either. On the other hand, chemistry, physics, and mathematics are easy for me because they seem logical to me. After considering my interests and talents I feel that science or engineering might be the best choice for my career. I would like to study science or engineering in college. After graduation from college I hop to go for higher education overseas. Eventually I would like to return to school to teach. This is my career plan.
我的职业生涯
在我高中的时代，我发现我对化学、物理和数学很感兴趣。事实上，我觉得其他的学科也很有吸引力，如：历史、英语。但是不知何故我不能详细记住历史事件，也不能很好地记住英语单词。相反，化学、物理和数学却容易些因为它们有逻辑性。鉴于我的兴趣所致我感觉到理科或者工科是我未来职业的最好选择。我更愿意在大学里学理科或工科。大学毕业后我希望到海外去继续深造。最后我将回到学校教书。这就是我的事业规划。
Intelligent Consumerism
Wise consumers read magazine advertisements and watch TV commercials, but they do this with one advantage: knowledge of the psychology behind the ads. In other words, well-informed consumers watch for information and check for misinformation. They ask themselves questions: Is the advertiser hiding something in small print at the bottom of the page? Is there any real information in the commercial, or is the advertiser simply showing an attractive image? Is this product more expensive than it should be because it has a famous name? With the answers to these questions, consumers can make a wise choice.
明智的消费
聪明的消费者看杂志广告，看电视广告，但他们这么做只有一个目的，就是要了解藏在广告背后的心理状态。换句话说，信息灵通的消费者会留心各种资讯，也会查证各种有误导作用的谣传。他们会问自己：广告商是不是在边角的小字里藏着点什么？广告里是否有真实内容，或者广告商纯粹只提供诱人的画面？是否因为是名牌，产品就卖得更贵？这些答案会帮助消费者做出明智的选择。
