My New Life

This summer, I move to a new city with my parents, and I transfer to a new school. I used to live in the countryside, so my new life is so different from before. The school is a little far from my home, so I go to school by bus. After school, I have many activities in school. Classmates are friendly to me. I learn English now. It’s so interesting that I like it very much. Besides, life in city is different. There are many interesting places to go. At weekends, my parents take me outside. We go to the park, the zoo or go shopping. But we are not so familiar with our neighbors. I think we should build good relationship with them.

【参考译文】

这个夏天，我和爸爸妈妈搬到了一个新的城市生活，我也转到了新的学校上学。以前，我住在乡下，所以我现在的生活和以前有很大不同。学校离我的家稍远，所以我要坐公交车去上学。课后，我在学校有很多活动。同学们对我也很有好。现在我开始学英语了，这门课程很有趣，我很喜欢。另外，在城市里的生活也很不一样，有很多好玩的地方可以去。周末，我的爸爸妈妈常常带我出去。我们去公园、动物园，或者去购物。但是我们和邻居们不是很熟悉，我觉得我们应该建立良好的关系。

Low Carbon Lifestyle

With the development of economy,the pollution of our environmentbecome more and more serious.Now more and more people get to know its important to protect our living environment.So low carbon lifestyle is become popular.

It is of great importance for the whole world to practice the low-carbon lifestyle.Firstly, our natural resources and energy are limited; therefore, it isabsolutely necessary for us to save and protect them. Secondly, inorder to protect our environment from serious greenhouse effect, weneed a low-carbon emission. It is low-carbon life that enables our nextgenerations to live a better and superior life.

Here are some useful suggestions to live a low-carbon life. Firstly, everyone is expected to cultivate theirawareness of saving energy. Secondly,we can use fewer plastic bags to reduce white pollution.we also can plant more trees to fresh the air.Then, we are also hoped to help ourfamilies and friends to live a low-carbon life. If everyone takes action,our environment will be better and better.Our world will be more colorful and beautiful.

Nowadays, environmental pollution is very common. Resource waste is also

seen everywhere. In order to protect the environment, to protect our earth, we

need to live a low-carbon life. I usually go to school on foot, sometimes by

bike. If I need to go to the other city, I will choose the public transportation

and not ask my parents drive me there. If I am the last one to leave classroom

or home, I will make sure all the lights are off. I always will save the water

after washing clothes. And then use it to wash the toilet. Our earth is in our

own hands.

Every coin has two sides. On the one hand, I am quite satisfied with my university life. On the other hand, life in my university is not as satisfactory as what we had expected.

Here is the bright side of my university life: Firstly, Equipment of my university is advanced and teacher team is powerful. There is an advanced library that owns all kinds of books. So we can acquire a lot of knowledge from my university. Secondly, all sorts of lectures are given on campus. We can learn much knowledge that is interesting. Thirdly, my campus activities are rich and colorful. Such as sports meets, speech contests, different social gatherings and dancing parties provide opportunities to make friends. What’s more, my dormitory life is very harmonious. Dormitory life is an important part of my university life. On the one hand, we can have a good rest and put our heart into study. On the other hand, we will have a good mood and enjoy being together.

This is the dark side of my university life: Firstly, there is only one dining room in my university. So we often need to wait in a long line, which waste much time. Everyday is always fixed cuisine types, which make our appetites depressed. Secondly, self-study room is not enough. Now we will soon take final exam. So it is difficult to find a self-study room. What’s more, network of my university is very unstable. It is difficult to search literature in my dormitory, which waste too much time.In short, I am quite satisfied with my university life, but there is still some room for improvement. I am convinced that my university life will become better and better.

参考翻译：

每个硬币都有两面。一方面，我很满意我的大学生活。另一方面，生活在我的大学是不满意作为我们所期望的。

这是光明的一面：首先我的大学生活，我的大学先进设备和师资队伍强大。有一个先进的图书馆，拥有各类图书。所以我们可以获得很多知识，我的大学。其次，各种讲座在校园。我们可以学到很多知识，有趣的是。第三，我的校园生活丰富多彩。如运动会，演讲比赛，不同的社交聚会和舞蹈各方提供机会交朋友。更重要的是，我的宿舍生活是非常和谐。宿舍生活是非常重要的我的大学生活。一方面，我们可以有一个良好的休息，我们的心投入研究。另一方面，我们将有一个好心情，享受在一起。

这是黑暗的一面，我的大学生活：首先，只存在一个餐厅在我的大学。所以我们经常需要等待很长的线，它浪费时间。每天总是固定菜肴类型，这使我们的欲望压抑。其次，自习室是不够的。现在我们将很快采取最后的考试。所以很难找到一个自习室。更重要的是，我的大学是非常不稳定的网络。很难搜索文学在我的宿舍，浪费太多时间。总之，我很满意我的大学生活，但仍有改进的空间。我相信，我的大学生活会变得更加美好。

My Happy Times During Winter Vacation

I often go to see my grandma and grandpa during winter vacation. They are both seventy years old and live in the country happily. I can do many interesting things there. I am used to getting up early in the morning and breathing the fresh air in the countryside. After snow, I would like to skate and ski with my friends. When night comes, I am used to sitting by the fire and listening to grandma telling me many funny stories. And I tell her some new things happening in the city. When I have to go back, I am always reluctant to go. I really feel happy living in the country.

There are many things in the world. Compare to those, people is a very small part of the world, so it is very difficult and lucky to be a person in the world. Thanks to my monther.I should live happy to thanks my monther. When she see my smile, she will be happy too. She will think that all she does for me is deserved. I think that the meaning of live is not only make myself or my month happy, but also bring the happies to all of the people around me.Hope everyone in the world can live happily.

life is to grow up. I dont like to be a child. I would like to be a elder sister/brother, a monther/father. big person can have money, beautiful dress. Their words are always right. Child should liston to them.I hope that I can grow up quickly.

Now, the world is in advocate a theme, that is: "low-carbon life".

Why should advocate low carbon life? Thats because in recent years, as people on waste, caused a sharp reduction in the earths energy, is now left, to the development of new energy sources, certainly too late.

Behavior, therefore, we should resist these waste, save energy use as much as possible in the life, and thus reduce carbon dioxide emissions. In this way, can achieve the "low-carbon life".

Now, more and more people begin to join the advocate low carbon life, then make a contribution to build a low carbon life.

Low carbon life in this moment now, appears especially important, I hope everyone should consciously create a low carbon life, starts from his side. Create a low carbon life, starts from me!

【参考译文】

现在，全球都在提倡一个主题，那就是：“低碳生活”。

为什么要提倡低碳生活呢?那是因为近几年来，由于人们的大肆浪费，造成了地球上的能源的急剧减少，现在已经所剩无几了，再开发新的能源，肯定来不及。

因此，我们要抵制这些浪费的行为，在生活中尽可能地节约使用能源，并因而减少二氧化碳的排放量。这样，才能够做到“低碳生活”。

现在，越来越多的人们开始加入了提倡低碳生活的行列，并为营造低碳生活作着贡献。但是，还有一些人，只顾着自己享受，根本就不会为将来着想，随意地浪费着地球上已经所剩无几的能源，这种行为是不对的，假如人人都像他们那样，只顾自己的话，地球上微薄的能源用不了多久，就会被消耗殆尽的，到了那个时候，无论人们有多么的后悔，也无济于事了。

低碳生活在现在这种关头，显得尤其重要，希望大家都要自觉地营造低碳生活，从自己的身边做起。营造低碳生活，从我做起!

We will never forget our freshman year at college. In general it is a time filled with anticipation, some anxiety, and wonderful discoveries.

College is much different than high school. You may decide to commute from your home to a local campus. Without doubt, the most dramatic freshman year is for those living away from home. What can we expect as we head off into the wonderful world of higher education?

The first thing I notice is the workload. It is heavier and more intense than I ever experienced before. The major challenges of college work are large volume of reading, short deadlines, and “endless” writing. A related effect that can be brought on by the workload is doubt, frustration, and loneliness if possible.

On some of those long, seemingly endless nights of studying and writing, it will be very natural for me to long for fine old days. Hang in there. These down periods will pass.

I have made a lot of new friends. I am sure college friendships will be among the most satisfying and long-term in my life. Its always exciting to discover how wonderfully diverse college relationships can be.

I am enjoying my newfound freedom. Stay up until dawn talking about my ideals and ambitions with my dorms regular bull session buddies. Sleep in until the afternoon on a light class day. Explore the local town or suburbs with one or two of my new friends.

I even start to think about my future. Going to college is as much about finding out who am I as it is about getting the degree.

暑假的一天，是一个社区活动的日子。我吃过早饭，早早的来到了社区的活动室。

不一会儿，社区活动的老师拿了沉甸甸的一捆报纸走进活动室。我们疑惑不解，难道这次是让我们来看报纸的吗？这时老师笑容可掬地说：“小朋友们，今天让你们体验一下邮递员的工作，把这些“北蔡家园”的报纸发到社区每家每户的邮箱里。”说完，老师分发给每人一叠报纸。

我和我的同学吴雨萌结伴同行发报纸，我们挨个挨个的寻找每个单元的收信箱，然后跑过去小心翼翼的把报纸放到每家的收信箱里。再看看男生们，好像在和我们抢信箱似的，都手忙脚乱的把报纸塞进信箱里，有的报纸都皱巴巴的了，好像在说：“哎呀，别争了，把我都弄疼了。”

刚发到一半，我们就已经满头大汗了，想想邮递员叔叔每天骑着车，带着几大包的报纸和邮件，而且这些邮件都是全国各地的，他们每天要跑多少路，是多么的不容易啊，比起他们我们是微不足道的，于是我打起了十二分得精神，又开始去发了。这时一位踩着三轮车收废品的阿姨，看见我们手里一叠一叠的报纸，满脸堆笑的说：“小朋友，把你手里的报纸给我吧，我给你们钱去买根冷饮解解暑。”我心里犹豫不决，给吧，她肯定把报纸当废纸卖掉，社区的人就看不到了，这样就体现不出宣传的作用。最后我还是咬了咬牙，慢条斯理的说：“对不起阿姨，我不能给您。”。说完我们又冒着炎炎的烈日坚持不懈寻找收信箱。树上的鸟儿看着我们“叽叽喳喳”的好像在说：“你做得对。”一张、两张、三张……终于发完了。

通过今天的体验，我才明白邮递员是多么的辛苦，他们持之以恒的精神是值得我们学习的。

One day of summer vacation is a day of community activities。 I had breakfast and arrived early in the community room。

After a while， the communitys teachers walked into the activity room with a heavy bundle of newspapers。 Were wondering， isnt this the time for us to come to the newspaper？ Then the teacher smiled broadly and said， "children， today， let you experience the job of the mailman and send these" north chua "papers to the mailboxes of every household in the community。" With that， the teacher handed out a stack of newspapers to everyone。

I and my classmates wu yumeng and my colleagues sent a newspaper， and we searched each cell for the mailbox of each unit， then ran to carefully put the newspaper in the mailbox of each family。 Look at the boys， like in the box and we rob， all the controls of the newspaper into the box， some newspapers are crumpled， as if to say： "oh， dont argue， hurt me。"

Just sent to a half， we will have full head big sweat， think the postman uncle riding a car every day， newspaper， and mail， with a few big bag and the e—mails are all over the country， they will run every day how many road， is how not easy ah， than we are trivial， so I have the extremely good spirit， to send again。 When a stepping on a tricycle aunt recyclers， see our hands a pile of a pile of papers， grinning of say： "kid， please give me your hand paper， I give you money to buy a cold drink soared。" Im hesitant， give it， she must sell the newspaper as waste paper， the people in the community cant see it， so it cant show the role of propaganda。 Finally I bit my teeth and said， "sorry aunt， I cant give you。" It is。 And then we continued to look for the mailbox in the hot sun。 The birds in the tree look at us and say， "youre right。" One， two， three。。。 Its finally done。

Through todays experience， I realize how hard the postman is， and the persistence of their spirit is worth learning。

The university is full of talent, learning, and a small stage and small society full of competition and challenge. Every one of us plays a different role on this stage, so why dont we try to play the best part of our role! As a college student, we are eager to positive rather than blind impulse, bold and not wantonly recklessly, dare to think and not utopian, but not like you think of?? let us grasp the youth, to exercise their own here! Leave your hard figure in the activities of the organization, show your most beautiful style in the community activities, and dedicate one of your strengths to volunteering. Here you get not only a kind of knowledge, but also the most valuable wealth of life. When we were young, in their prime, pointing Jiangshan jiyangwenzi. Let the flower of life give birth to the color of youth, and let the youth glow because of vitality. The university campus, not do not, only unexpected, let us give full play to our talents! There are few human beings, and the university is the most treasured. Lets not let the youth idle away, and load a little gain in every days life, so that a confident smile will float on your face, and I believe firmly that there will be rewards for giving and passionate excitement.

The university is the halls of every one of us. In order to come to this hall, we have experienced the wind and rain. Now that we have stepped into this threshold, let us sprinkle our personality in the hall of this dream.

The university is not a fantasy, not a dream, not a delusion, but a great ideal. As long as we fight for it, fight for it. One day we will return! You will hear the maple leaf flow boat at that time, you will see the Chrysopsis laughing, you can smell the fruit fragrance, for you to the harvest season!

When I wrote this article, I was a student of * * * University. When I was about to enter school, I stood at the beginning of the University, and looked forward to the four years study and life of University. I hope my university can be full and meaningful as expected. Freshman: lay down the foundation. The idea of "want me to learn" is "I want to learn" to learn basic courses well on the ground, especially English and computer. In the big plan, we should make a small plan, keep in mind the English words and practice the spoken English every day, and learn it unswervingly from the beginning of the year. According to the actual situation, consider whether to take a double degree or minor major in second major, and prepare for the information as soon as possible. Freshmens learning tasks are relatively relaxed. They can participate in community activities appropriately, take certain positions, improve their organizational skills and communication skills, and train soldiers for graduation job interviews.

Dear Friend Thank You For your Love

Dear friend Lucy, thank you for your love. We get on well with each other in day-to-day lives. As for my friend, you always help me with my study. When I have a few

difficulties, you always encourage me to get over difficulties.

Do you remember? Last semester, I forgot to do my homework. So the next day, I wanted to copy your homework. Because I really didn’t want to be criticized. But you

said you couldn’t lend your homework to me, it was very bad solution. Even if I said I would never do it except this time. Please lent me your homework. But you still

said maybe it would start a bad habit. I should do my own homework. So I was pretty angry. I said I wouldn’t become your friend anymore. A few days later, I thought I

was sorry. So I told you to forgot this thing. I wanted to make friends with you. And I was happy you said OK.

Now I ‘m certain you are my best friend. Dear friend Lucy, thank you for your love.

After a series of coincidences, I came to the 31st century. I was stunned by what I saw. The back of the car in the street was no longer the annoying smoke, but the fresh air.

Here, robots are indispensable in everyones life, such as nanny robots! Nanny Robots brain stores recipes from all over the world. It can make French food, Japanese food and hamburger, and it can do no worse than five-star chef. At this time, people have mastered the cloning technology, cloning some endangered rare animals to increase their number. Now the market is full of panda milk, bear paws, and other rare animals.

The streets have also changed. There is no garbage or dust on the road. This is because of the magical function of the road. When walking on the road, people can spit and throw rubbish at will, because when you throw rubbish, the ground will be 0. The speed of 0001 seconds engulfs the garbage, and the garbage is sent to the dump for incineration. Todays education is not the same as now. At that time, we only need to go to the hospital to a small chip into the brain, and all the knowledge will be completed. The rest will focus on hands-on practice ability, and we can graduate and work at a young age. There are no universities, no primary schools, no secondary schools.

We also invented animal translation machine. People can communicate with animals freely, and we found Martian on Mars

All of a sudden, a sound woke me up. It was my mother. Everything was fake just now, but I really hope this moment will come soon.

On New Years Eve,all the family people get together to have a big dinner in the resturant.It make our family people get toghther.We enjoy ourselves and in the new year we all strive hard.

在除夕夜的时候，我的家人坐在一起在饭店吃团圆饭。这是我的家人团聚。我们很享受并且在新年我们都将你努力奋斗。

The winter vacation is coming,I have made a plan for my vacation.I want to spend time with my family,so I will return to my hometown .I am for back to my hometown for preparation.I miss my grandparents very much ,so I will visit my grand parents at first.I will chat with my uncle and aunt ,play with my cousin .It will be very intereting .I hope I will have a great time there.

Summer can be very hot in southern taibei where the temperature usually goes up to 32"C or more. Because of the heat it is a trying experience to go to school or do anything else in a place that is not air-conditioned. Also because of this I stay at home most of the time during the summer vacation and only occasionally go to the beach to plunge myself into the cool water as a way to keep my body less sticky. Actually I like swimming and think nothing is more refreshing than a swim. In the summer vacation that has just ended I went swimming many times with my classmates and we all had a good time. This summer vacation, however, was not spent entirely in seeking fun. As a second-year senior student I had to prepare myself for the college entrance examinations that were only a year away. In other words, I must find time to study, too. So I divided my time between work and play during the summer vacation and derived much benefit from this arrangement.

I spent this summer vacation in quite a different way. I used to run about every day in previous summer vacations, but this summer vacation I simply could not afford to do so. I would soon be in the last year of my high-school education and would after graduation be up against the college entrance examinations. Though those examinations were still a year away, I had to start early to make myself well prepared by reviewing all those things I had learned at school and this summer vacation was the ideal time for me to do this. At first I was rather dismayed at the thought of this, but later I thought it was better this way because by working hard this summer I could count on endless happy summers to come. With this in mind I then set to work like anything and only occasionally went out for a change or did some physical. I was not at all bored by this kind of life, for I was sustained by a hope.

Im a student.My weekend life is happy.I and my family often go mountain climbing,enjoy the fresh mountain air.I sometimes go and friends go shopping together.I like my weekend life.

Today is sunday .I am in hainan with my friends now.it is a sunny day,I got up early at Seven thirty,I watched a movie with my brother in the morning,it was a interesting film.And in the afternoon,I went swimming with my best friends .I was tired.But I was happy ,too.Uh...What a wonderful day it is!

I had a nice holiday in last weekend.My friend invited me to play table tennis with him.It was a relax sport.I would love it if there was no people smoking there,although the slogan on the wall shows no smoking.There are always some people whose happiness is built on others misery.

In this weekend,I have a plan,if tomorrow is a sunny day.

Saturday morning,I am going to visit my grandparents.after lunch I have good friends and I go to the movies and football.At night,I can stay home and watch cartoons.

Sunday,I will go fishing with dad.After that I will go home to do my homework.

[我的周末生活英语作文

Do not rely completely on any other human being, however dear. We meet all life’s greatest tests alone.” -Agnes Macphail

不要完全依赖另一个人，无论他/她有多么珍贵。生活中最大的考验，我们只能独自经历。——加拿大首位女性议员艾格尼丝·麦克菲尔

I have found that the more time I spend alone, the more comfortable I become in my own skin because I can truly get to know myself. This provides me with more patience to accept myself as I am, wherever I am in my journey, on a daily basis.

我发现独处的时间越长，我越觉得舒服、放松和自信，因为这样我可以认识真正的自己。这让我每天都有更多的耐心来接受自己，接受自己在生活旅途中的位置。

This lesson was something I learned after spending a summer alone in Italy with a family friend.

这堂人生课是我独自一人在意大利学到的，当时我在一位世交朋友家里度过了一个夏天。

I embarked on the journey, turning off my phone for the first time, well, probably ever. I would be jetting all over America then landing in a country with a family basically unknown to me.

我踏上旅途，第一次关上了手机，嗯，这么多年来第一次。我在美国上方飞来飞去，然后降落在一个国家，和一家基本上不认识的人生活在一起。

It wasn’t until two years after I returned that I wished I had spent more time living in the moment while experiencing the greatest adventure of my life. I was not comfortable enough in my own skin to truly be present in the magical moments presenting themselves in a foreign country.

直到我回来两年后，我才希望当时要是我能有更多的时间活在当下，经历人生中最大的冒险就好了。当时我不够放松、自信，无法在一个陌生的国家，在那样神奇的时刻，把它们展现出来。

My mind stayed distracted as I wondered what people were thinking of me, and what I would post online to my friends back home.

当我在想我在人们心中是什么样子，当我在想回家后我会在网上发布什么内容时我就会分神。

At 19 years old, it seemed much more important to capture photos to upload to social media. The Internet was a crutch for me to not feel so alone in an unknown territory. As brave as I was to be completely alone in my adventure, I had a thousand people to “connect” with on my lonely nights!

19岁时对我来说，拍摄照片并把它们传到社交媒体上要更为重要。互联网对我来说是个拐杖，能让我在未知的领域中不会感觉到那么孤独。和我独自一人冒险时一样勇敢，在孤独的夜晚，我有一千人可以去“交流”。

Two years later I realized that I could have filled my days with activities for growth.

两年后，我意识到，我可以用有助于自己成长的活动来填满日子。

I now wish I had traveled to nearby cities, spent my days reading in a cafe, tried acupuncture—anything out of the ordinary.

现在我希望我能游遍附近的城市，把时间用在在咖啡馆里阅读、尝试针灸——任何与众不同的东西上。

The truth was I didn’t have the hobbies I have now. The trip did help me grow, but I regret that I could not simply enjoy the moments, instead of wanting thousands of others to see I was enjoying them.

事实上，我现在的爱好以前都没有。旅行确实帮我成长，但我后悔当时我没能享受当下的时光，而是去让成千上万个人看着我在享受。

I discovered that if I want to be happy, it would be my own doing. Happiness is an interior process and comes without validation from others.

我发现如果我想要开心，那是我自己的事情。幸福是内心的过程，不需要得到别人的认可。

This is something that is a lesson to be relearned each day.

这是我每天都要再次重新学习的人生课。

Spending small moments of time alone—sans phone, tablet, laptop, TV, and radio—allows one to really tune in. We need to ask ourselves things like: What is my body telling me today? How do I feel today?

用碎片时间进行独处——关掉手机、平板电脑、笔记本、电视和收音机——允许自己真正地进行调整。我们需要问问自己：我的身体今天告诉我什么?今天感觉如何?

There are all kinds of things we can do to enjoy our alone time, some of them very simple. I enjoy my shower, my yoga practice, and the scenic drive home, all without communication to the exterior world. This helps me to really absorb my practice and just “be.” I find it helpful to journal, old fashion style, with a pen and paper after this little escape.

我们可以做很多事情来享受独处的时光，有些事情非常简单。我喜欢淋浴，喜欢瑜伽练习，喜欢在开车回家的路上看秀丽的风 景，这些都不需要和外部世界联系。这能帮我真正消化自己的所做所为，仅仅安静的待着。我发现在这种小小的消遣之后，用在纸上用笔写日记这样古老的方式很有帮助。
