Interest Is the Best Teacher
I was not able to get high marks when I was in primary school. Teachers didn't like me because I was not a good student. Mother considered me as a bad kid. They hurt me by thinking I am a retarded child. But I am no fool. Almost all of my paintings were showed in public. Many famous artists had praised me for my paintings. They called me "little prodigy". And dad was on my side too. He encouraged me to do what I liked and what I thought was proper. He told me that interest is the best teacher, Dad did what he could to develop my talent fully. I believe that interest together with hard work will make me a successful artist in the near future.
小學的時候我學習不好，總得不了高分。老師認為我不是好學生，媽媽也把我看成是壞孩子。我傷心極了，他們肯定都以為我是一個笨孩子，可我並不笨。我畫的畫經常拿出去展覽，有許多著名的藝術家還誇獎過我呢，他們說我是小神童。爸爸也支持我，他鼓勵我做自己喜歡做和認為對的事情，還告訴我興趣是最好的老師。爸爸盡力創造機會讓我發揮自己的天賦。我相信興趣加努力會讓我在不久的未采成為一名有成就的畫家。

Christmas Day is important in western countries. It comes on December 25. People have several days off from their work. They go back home to get together for a big dinner. There is a Christmas tree in each family. It is decorated with small things and bright lights. During Christmas Day, many shops are busy selling goods as presents. On that day people often exchange presents. Children like the festival because they can receive many beautiful presents.聖誕節在西方國家是很重要的節日，它是指12月25日那天。人們有幾天假期。他們回到家中舉辦一個家庭宴會。每個家庭都有一棵聖誕樹，樹上全是小的裝飾品和亮亮的燈。聖誕節期間，許多商店忙著賣一些作禮物的商品，人們互相交換禮物。孩子們喜歡這個節日，因為他們可以收到許多美麗的禮物。
At night children go to bed early, hanging stockings beside the beds and waiting for Father Christmas. They think he comes down from the chimney and puts the presents into their stockings. How happy children are on that day!晚上孩子們很早上床，在旁邊掛上長統襪等待聖誕老人，因為他們認為聖誕老人會從煙囪上下來，把禮物放在長統襪里。那一天孩子們是多麼幸福啊!

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, cheer, 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。

Time:
Hello, Dear teachers and fellow students. It is my honor to be here on this beautiful Friday morning to share with you my view on 「Me- time」. In my opinion，finding me-time is important. With the development of the modern society, we students in China have more and more pressure. We have to spare every minute to study very hard and join various kinds of out-of-class training courses to improve ourselves. So we are really in lack of me-time which is helpful to keep ourselves from being over-stressed、tired and worried.
I do not have as much fun as before and I always miss my childhood. Three hours of homework and two piano lessons one day make me have hardly any me-time to relax myself. I was once an active basketball player on my school team. But now, basketball, my best friend, I haven』 touched it for almost two months. Me- time seems to have become a luxury.
Last week, when I heard there was going to be a basketball match between our school and No 1 Middle School, I was so excited that I rushed home and told my parents the news. I asked my father, 「 Dad, may I play basketball after school ? The coach says I am the best guard in our school. If I join the school basketball team, we are sure to beat No 1 Middle School this time.」 My father showed his dispproval and said, 「 Of course you can』t . I』m disappointed at you. Why do you have such a silly idea? Don』t forget to work hard on your schoolwork and piano lessons.」 In my parents』 points of view, playing basketball is a waste of time
As far as I』m concerned, the school assignment to the junior school students is too heavy. To grow into healthy and well-rounded alts, we should be allowed to have more me-time for relaxation. The pressure put on our students by excessive schoolwork can cause serious stress, which is unhealthy physically and mentally.
My dear teachers, I hope you can assign less homework so we students can enjoy a period of me-time.

Regardless of success we gained over and over again,we ignored the selfless gifts given by nature in the process of our improvement.
在我們度過的每一天里，成百上千條河流變成令人作嘔的水溝，同樣繁多的物種永遠的離開了這個美麗的藍色星球，同時，更多的樹木、礦產、污染源源不斷的變成人們手中的金錢利益，無節制的開發掠奪了財富，更極大地損耗了地球的生命力，人類在一點點的失去藍天、清水、綠地，失去曾經美麗、潔凈而富饒的地球！
Everyday we spend there're thousands of streams becoming nasty ditches,so many species having left this beautuful blue planet forever and meanwhile more trees, minerals and(pollution? ) constantly turn into profits in people's hands.Uncontrolled development caused a great loss of wealth and significantly drained on the vitality of the Earth.

門牙風景區因為瘋狂的開發變為一片殘山敗水，同時不知滿足的人們想著更上游的地區擴張，直到垃圾和人流完全侵蝕掉這座後花園，我們正不斷的失去生存的空間，也許在不久的將來，我們只能守著破敗的山河悼念失去的美好了，這恐怕是我們這個文明最大的悲哀!）
