【参考译文】

今天看新闻，听到一条新闻，习近平总书记提出“一带一路，筑中国梦”，我不太理解，就跑去问爸爸，爸爸想了想，对我说：“在中国的唐朝，有一条道路，从唐朝首都长安城出发，经过中亚、西亚直到欧洲，他就是大名鼎鼎的‘丝绸之路’，商人们通过丝绸之路把中国的丝绸、瓷器等东西卖给沿线国家的人们，让他们穿上漂亮的衣服，用上精美的餐具，同时也带来了其他国家的各种奇珍异宝。这条路是贸易之路，也是文化交流之路”。

我想了想说：“那可以把‘一带一路’理解成现代的丝绸之路，把我们中国的各种家电、生活用品，带去其他国家，甚至给沿线国家铺设高铁，建造发电厂，还可以去支持非洲等落后国家的发展建设，然后把其他国家的石油、矿产、粮食等我们需要的物资带回家”，爸爸笑着点了点头。

习主席的“一带一路”是实现国家富强、民族振兴、人民幸福的中国梦而提出的重大战略构想。推动实施一带一路，必将为实现中国梦开拓新局面、创造新机遇，必将给全世界加入更多新力量、新活力。

“下雪啦，下雪啦！雪地里来了一群小画家。小鸡画竹叶，小狗画梅花，小鸭画枫叶，小马画月牙……”每当听到小区孩子唱起这样的儿歌，我便会情不自禁想起童年时在老家玩雪的场景，那是我童年难忘的记忆。

小时候在老家没有什么好玩的东西，最开心最难忘的事便是在冬天下雪的时候和小伙伴们玩雪了！

北方的冬天特别寒冷，北风呼啸着刮来，刮在脸上生疼生疼的，看着小伙伴们红扑扑的脸颊，像被东风给扑上了一层粉嘟嘟的胭脂。听村里有经验的老人说：“只要气温骤降，天空很空灵沉寂的时候，雪花便会飘落下来，那是天空的眼泪。”我就这样等啊，盼啊，盼望着雪降落到大地上，那样就可以和伙伴们一起打雪仗，踩雪了。

清晨起床穿衣的时候，感觉格外冷，拉开窗帘一看，外面白茫茫的一片，“哇，下雪啦！”我从床上蹦下来，飞快穿上衣服朝门外飞奔而去，姑姑问道：“还没有吃饭呢，你去哪里啊？”“看雪去”我边说边朝门外跑去，姑姑追出门非要我回来，我失落地走在路上，踩在雪上咯吱咯吱直响，雪地上留下的大小不一的脚步印一会儿就被飘落的雪花覆盖了！

吃完饭我吵着闹着要出去玩雪，姑姑拗不过我终于妥协了。我跑到时常和小伙伴们一起玩耍的地方，没想到他们都已经玩了起来。他们看到迟到的我，都向我扔起了雪。他们一边追着我一边不停得从地上抓起雪搓成团向我扔来，我不停躲藏着也在地上抓起雪揉成团向他们扔去。我们相互追逐着，打着雪仗，欢乐的笑声响彻云霄。我们嬉闹在林间，奔跑在路上，欢闹在田野里，直到汗流浃背也不肯停下来。我们累了停下来休息，看着雪地上凌乱的脚印，相互讨论着那些最难看的脚印都是谁留下的，吵着闹着又开始疯闹起来。

每当冬季的时候我总是会情不自禁地想起家乡的雪，想起那时我们奔跑在雪地里留下的足迹，还有那些时常在耳边回荡的欢笑声。

我的童年是简单而欢快的，没有华丽的礼物和玩具，但是却有一群和我一起玩雪，一起成长的小伙伴，那是童年最宝贵的财富，也是我的童年最难忘的记忆！

Everyone admires beauty. Everyone has his own standard about beauty.

Nowadays some people tend to think that they own beauty if they have a good

looking. They are not satisfied with their appearance. They spend much money

taking a kind of operation. Can beauty really be man-made? If so， everybody can

get beauty. As a result， there is no beauty at all.

The appearance is given by our parents and is unique in the world. Everyone

should value it. Id rather prefer nature as the standard of beauty. Just accept

yourself， accept everything the god gives to you， and create the beautiful life

belong to you.

Many heroes dont have beautiful surface. However， their beautiful images

often come to our minds. Their beauty comes from their contributions to the

society.

Dont be eager to judge whether a person is beautiful or not without a

thorough understanding of him. A beautiful person is not the one with a good

looking， but with a broad and kind heart.

Good looking is pleasant while spiritual beauty is more important. As an

old saying goes， “ Virtue is fairer than beauty. ” If you have a kind heart， you

own real beauty.

我的童年是在老家金湖度过的。

那是一个充满乐趣的小村庄，没有城市的喧闹和繁华，有的只是那一份恬静与安详。

模糊的记忆里，我已记不清是几岁回的老家，记住的只有快乐与欢笑……

家门口有一块田地，田地的前面有一个湖，湖的四周长满了芦苇。这里便是我与同伴们的嬉戏之地。乡村八月，在清澈的湖面上，哥哥，姐姐带着我划着小船。“八月的芦苇根最好吃了，姐挖给你吃呵!”姐用带着乡音的普通话对我说。我想都没想，开心地连连点头。只见姐用小铲子挖呀挖，不到两分钟，一个沾满新鲜泥土的芦苇根出来了，姐随手把它放在湖水里洗干净掰下一口送进我的嘴里，哇!好好吃啊!甜甜的，还有一点脆呢!这是，一阵清凉遍满全身。看见我吃的这么开心，哥哥摘下一片芦苇叶，三两下便做成了一只小笛子吹了起来，那笛声好美呀!绕过我的耳畔，绕过芦苇丛，，绕过了湖面，似乎整个村庄也能听得见。不知不觉中，已是夕阳红时了，那晚霞映衬着房屋，在波光粼粼的湖面上闪呀闪呀，岸边的鸭子在嘎嘎地叫，也在恭送太阳公公呢!

日落西山，天会变成深蓝色的了，小伙伴们拉着小手，哼着小调，结伴向田里走去。我拉着姐非要她也带我去，姐拗不过我，牵着我向田里跑去。到了田里我才知道上，原来他们是在捉荧火虫儿呢!(因为农村的供电不足，电随时会跳掉，家家户户都开不了灯，大人们常用的是蜡烛，那么孩子们就用自制的南瓜灯来照明，即：把在田野里捉来的萤火虫儿装在做好的南瓜壳里，就能做成精致的南瓜灯。)姐弯下腰，手一伸，便捉到一只，我也试着像姐一样捉呀捉，可怎么也捉不到，只有看着姐捉。不久，姐就捉了许多只，带着我高高兴兴的回家了。

我们把捉来的萤火虫儿放在事先准备好的南瓜壳里，于是一盏精美的“南瓜灯”便做成了，我们把它吊在屋里，屋里顿时变得明亮起来，那光线时明时暗，仿佛在催我入眠，看着它，我不知不觉进入了梦乡……

在繁华的都市里，皎洁的月光下，我会时时想起--------故乡的童年。

Confidence is essential for everyone. Onlyestablishing confidence can we accomplish our goal. Nevertheless, many peopleespecially teenagers are lack of confidence. What a serious problem! How todevelop confidence?

自信对于每个人都是必不可少的。只有建立自信，我们才能实现我们的目标。然而，许多人缺乏自信尤其是青少年。多么严重的问题啊！如何培养自信呢？

First of all, we should aware of our own advantages. Though nobody is perfect, we can be proud of ownadvantages. In this way, we can adapt the pressure of contemporary society.Secondly, we are supposed to give ourselves asmile face. Its necessary to remember that not tire of life and look down onourselves. Facing a mirror to smile, maybe we will feel confident. Finally, we shouldnt be afraid of failureand challenges. On the contrary, we should raise our courage to overcome theseproblems.

首先，我们应该意识到我们自身的优势。虽然没有人是完美的，但是我们可以以自己的优势而感到自豪。这样，我们才能够适应当代社会带来的压力。其次，我们应该给自己一个微笑。要记住，不要对生活感到厌烦并看不起自己。对着镜子笑，也许我们会感到自信。最后，我们不应该害怕失败和挑战。相反，我们应该有勇气去克服这些问题。

In a word, as a saying says,” Make the mostof yourself, for that is all there is of you. "Confidence for us is anindispensable part of our life.

总之，正如谚语所说的，“做最好的自己，因为那些都是你的。”自信是我们生活中不可缺少的一部分。

The summer holiday is coming. Our class have had a discussion about what to do during the holiday. Some are in favor of staying at home. They think its both convenient and comfortable. Whats more, they can save money for other purposes. But they will lose the chance of getting to know the outside world.

However, others prefer to go out for traveling since it can increase their knowledge and broaden their horizons. But they will spend more money and meet some difficulties while traveling.

In my opinion, it would be much better to stay at home, for I can do what I like, such as reading books, watching TV, and helping my parents with the housework.

I remember it like yesterday.We were all waiting patiently for my father to come home from the race track.He promised me and my sister that if he won,he would take us all to Rye Playland.

The minutes felt like hours.It was the longest hour of my life.Then finally we heard the car door shut.Me and my sister ran to the front door anxiously waiting for the news.He opened the door and walked in.We tried to read the expression on his face but of course he was looking down while taking his sneakers off.

The suspense was killing us.Then he looked up.No words were spoken between us and our father.He just gave us a blank stare.I didnt know what to think.I was scared to ask because I was so worried of the response.

As of the Chinese traditional customs, our parents and grandparents will sweep every corner of the house and clean the windows until they gleam, and washing clothes, buying foods and goods for the new years future use and presents.

Children will be the most benefited group during this feast period. One month before that, they are expecting the new clothes, delicious foods. The firecrackers and the years allowance for their increased ages.

In recent years, with the rising of the standard of life, Chinese tend to make various holiday plans to spend a different and meaningful new year. Such as traveling abroad, or be absorbed in their hobbies, and even work.

Why today we try to spend our Chinese new year in such a different way? I think thats because this is a era of free life and personality high-ranking. Though there are still something traditional, our young generation is attempting to make something new and suitable for ourselves. And we would like to take something really worth to be cherished in our memorable treasures. Thats amazing and wonderful!

Ill always keep in mind that the Chinese new year is a great feast inherited from our ancestors, but if necessary, I would like to enjoy it by some ways personal.

As the new bell tolled, the Chinese people exclaimed with excitement, "the New Year is here! New Year! Ah! What a wonderful New Year! I am excited to run back and forth in my home, unable to restrain my joyful mood, the Spring Festival composition 600 words. When I ran to the balcony, all of a sudden, the fireworks fly on the sky, in a flash, Fried opened, and some like countless meteor, some like colorful flowers, some like golden coat, and like the golden sun, the earth was like the day. How beautiful!

My childhood is like a colorful dream, there happened many interesting things to let me in distress situation, let me tell you a today.

Remember when I was four years old in kindergarten school, one day, I ate a curved bananas, after eating, I also want to eat, but dad said: "bananas to eat many fire." I dont have to eat.

At night, I saw the sky there is a yellow and curved "banana", I dont know if it is curved moon, thinking: I can play knife and fork. But I want to again; Bananas are grow on trees, but this evening in the sky, its strange. But I also the piranhas stretch out his hand to catch up, but catch nothing. Vigorously up to scratch dad saw me curiously ask: "son, what are you scratching?" I said excitedly: "dad, you see, the sky has a big, big banana, you help me to take down let me eat!" Dad heard laughing held one hand to her belly, a hand clap my shoulder and said, "son, it is not a banana, but a crescent moon." "No, it isnt. Its a banana, I want to eat." Dad listened to the patient said to me: "son, the moon is a star, whenever night, it will slowly come out for our lighting, it is our good friend. Is not you want a banana." Listened to dads explanation, I understand nodded his head.

Now I was the first graders, never do stupid things like that again. But every time I saw the crescent moon, I can not but laugh at my stupid. Ah, its very interesting childhood.

我的童年就像一个七彩的梦，里面发生过许多有趣的事让我哭笑不得，今天就让我给你讲一个吧。

记得那时我才四岁，在幼儿园上学，一天，我吃了一个弯弯的香蕉，吃完后我还想吃，可爸爸却说：“香蕉吃多了会上火的。”我只好不吃了。

晚上，我看见天上有一个又黄又弯的“香蕉”，我不知道那是弯弯的月亮，心里想：这下我可以饱餐一顿了。可我又想;香蕉是长在树上的，今天晚上却长在了天空里去了，真奇怪。可我也不管三七二十一了伸手就往上抓，可是什么也抓不着。爸爸看见我一个劲地向上乱抓的样子奇怪地问：“儿子，你在乱抓什么?”我兴奋地说：“爸爸你看，天上有一个很大很大的香蕉，你帮我拿下来让我吃了吧!”爸爸听了笑得一手捂着肚子，一手拍着我的肩膀说：“儿子，那不是香蕉，而是弯弯的月亮。”“不，那是香蕉，我要吃。”爸爸听了耐心的对我说：“儿子，月亮是一个星球，每当晚上的时候，它就慢慢地出来为我们照明了，它是我们的好朋友。不是你想要的香蕉。”听了爸爸的解释，我似懂非懂的点了点头。

现在我已经是初一年级小学生了，再也不会做那样的傻事了。可我每当看到那弯弯的月亮时，我就忍不住笑自己傻。哎，童年真是太有趣了。

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.

Nowadays, there are more and more students becoming short-sighted. Some students get short-sightedness when they are little. There are fifteen students wearing glasses in my class. Being short-sighted is common among students, even in primary school. That is too serious. Therefore, we should protect our eyes carefully. When we are reading and writing, we should keep a standard posture. Besides, we should not watch TV or play computer for too long. They are bad for our eyes. And, we should do eyes exercises regularly. A good rest is also important to our eyes. In all, eyes are the windows of our mind. We should keep it healthy.
