On a Chinese farm
In summer holidays, I often go to my grandma's home. My grandma is very glad. She is a  farmer. There is a farm behind the house. They grow rice in summer and corn in autumn. There are some vegetables on the farm. I play there every day. There are many animals there.  I love playing with the cats and dogs. They also have some chickens there. Sometimes I help them feed the chickens. There is a small house in the yard. Some ducks are living there. They shout every morning. The quiet yard becomes so alive suddenly. But I think the voice is the music of the world.
 (Sun Chang from Class14, Grade2 of  Huai an Foreign Language School)
Comment: You have the greatest ability in your English study. You can describe what happens on the farm well. It shows out your love to the nature and life, and your good talent in English comes out freely.
                                 (teacher: Wang  Kuisheng)


Believing  myself
The mid--term examination is gone. Someone  is  happy, she  or  he has  got  very good marks. But someone is angry or rueful, he or she hasn't approved of their own  score. I'm unhappy, too. My score is not very good.
But I think  marks  aren't the  most  important.  If  you  get  very  good  marks,  of  course,  you  are  great.  But  you  can't  become  proud,  you  must  go  on  studying   in  an  industrious  way.  If  you  haven't  got  good  marks  in  the  examination,  you  needn't  lose  heart.  Crying  is  useless.  You  must  study  with  more  and  more  assiduity(刻苦;勤奋).  You  can  win  next  time.
Anyway, we will all study hard,  and  we   can  all  get  good  marks  at  last, I  believe.
(Song  Dian  From  Class 15,Grade 2  of  Huai an Foreign Language School)
Comment: you  have  great  talent  in  all  your  subjects.  Besides, you are one of  the outstanding students. I'm proud of you and expecting your great progress. I'm glad you have great confidence in yourself.
                                                  (teacher: Wang  kuisheng)
 
From the heart:   (心香一瓣)

1.Life is like a sea and only a strong--willed man can cross it.
生活就像海洋,只有意志坚强的人,才能到达彼岸。
2.There are huge waves in life, and sharp windings on the road.
人生若波澜,世路有屈曲。
3.Come  with a  whole  heart  and  go  without  even  a  straw.
捧着一颗心来,不带半根草去。
4.The greatest power you possess for succeeding in life is your understanding that life gives you a fresh start any moment you choose to start fresh.
你在生活中获得成功的最大动力,就是当你选择重新开始的时刻,生活都会给你一个新的开端。

A trip to Beijing
Last summer, my parents and I went to Beijing for our summer holidays.
We took a plane there. In the plane, I felt a bit nervous, because that was my first flight trip. But only five minutes later I felt better again.  Everything looked so different from the air. Sights became more and   more beautiful.
Several hours later, we arrived in Beijing. My parents and I were very happy.
There we visited one of the great wonders in the world ---- the   Great Wall. We have never seen such a high, wide and long wall with   our own eyes before. So we took as many pictures as possible there.
We have also visited some other places. We enjoyed ourselves.

Classical translation(译文赏析)

Caught in the Web?
你想在这似是而非的网络世界里寻找什么?是期待友谊还是打发无聊?
原文   
YOUR friends might be in Australia or maybe just down the road, but they are all just a few clicks (点击) away. Life has changed for millions of teenagers across the world who now make friends online. Whether you use chat-rooms, QQ, MSN or ICQ, you are part of a virtual community (虚拟社区).      

译文:你的朋友也许在澳大利亚,也许就住在你家附近,但你只要点击几下鼠标就可以找到他们。对于全世界成百万的青少年来说,网上交友改变了生活。不管你使用聊天室、QQ(网上聊天工具)、MSN(微软提供的在线服务)还是ICQ(网上寻呼机),你都处在虚拟社区之中。

"I rarely talk with my parents or grandparents, but I talk a lot with my old friends on QQ," said Fox's Shadow, the online nickname (网名) used by a Senior 2 girl in Chna. "Eighty per cent of my classmates use QQ after school."      
“我很少和父母以及爷爷奶奶聊天,但是我经常和老朋友在QQ上聊,”网名为狐狸之影的一名中国高二女生说,“我的同班同学有80%在放学后使用QQ。”

QQ is the biggest messaging service in China. A record 4 million people used it one Saturday night in October, according to Tencent, the company which developed QQ.      
QQ是中国最大的网上聊天工具。据开发QQ的腾讯公司统计,10月的某星期六晚上有400万人在使用QQ,再创新记录。

And Fox's Shadow might well have been one of them. "I log in on Friday nights, and Saturdays or Sundays when I feel bored. I usually spend about 10 hours chatting online every week," she said. "But I rarely talk with strangers, especially boys or men."      
而狐狸之影或许就是他们中的一员。“在星期五晚上还有星期六、星期日感到无聊之时我会登陆QQ,我一般每星期聊10个小时,”她说到,“但是我很少与陌生人聊天,特别是陌生的男孩和男人。”

Even though she likes chatting, she is careful about making friends with strangers online. "You don't know who you're talking to. You should always be careful about who you trust online."   
尽管喜欢聊天,她还是对网上交友十分慎重。“你不知道在和谁聊天。你应该对网上相信什么人持谨慎态度。”

A 16-year-old Beijing boy, known online as Bart Simon, dislikes QQ users. "I used to chat on QQ, but I found that most people were talking nonsense," he said. Now he chats online in English, using MSN. "I only chat online because I've got friends in Japan, the US and Singapore," he said. "I want to learn more about foreign cultures." But he spends little time chatting as he sees it as a waste of time and money.
一位网名为西蒙男爵的16岁的北京男孩不喜欢QQ使用者。“我曾经在QQ上聊过天,但是我发现大多数人都在胡说八道,” 如今在MSN上用英语聊天的他说,“我在网上聊天,只是因为有朋友在日本、美国和新加坡。我想了解更多的外国文化。”但是他花在聊天上的时间很少,因为他视网络聊天为费钱费时的玩意儿。

"If you are really addicted to it, sometimes you just can't concentrate (集中精神) in class," he said. "And the friends in your real life are always more important than those so-called friends you meet online."     
“如果你陷进去了,有时在课上你会很难集中精力”,他说,“真实生活中的朋友永远比网上结交的所谓朋友重要。”
