Dear Ken,
I'm very exciting to have received an e-mail from you and I'm glad you had a
wonderfully time during the past summer holiday. Last summer I take a trip to the
countryside with some of my friend. Country life, in my opinion, gave me peace
and quiet, which is what I can't enjoy in big cities. There was river nearby, in that
we went swimming every now and then. You can never imagine what fun it
was to swimming together with friends in the cool, clean river on such hot days.
In fact , I had never been had a better holiday before . I took plenty photos there
and I keep them where I can see them every day as they always reminds me of
my stay in the country.
Yours,
Li Ping
Being a winner
1. Everyone wants to succeed in their career or life. Sometimes it is easy to get carried away with the eagerness to win and forget about the things in everyday life which are important. 2. Education is the tool to succeeding in life and a person’s greatest accomplishments(成就) start with good education. School will prepare you for your toughest challenges and learning as much as you can will only make those challenges easier to face.
3. Families are quite often a person’s biggest asset(财产) when facing a difficult obstacle(障碍). Support from a person’s family can help him or her accomplish anything. It is equally important for you to give your parents and family support when they face their challenges. You can learn from the challenges and accomplishments of others and at the same time know that your support made a difference in the outcome of a difficult obstacle.
4. But always remember that being a winner is more than coming in first place in a tournament(锦标赛). The most important accomplishments are those that occur in everyday life. 5.
A. Being a winner is important to all of us.
B. Your efforts will pay off sooner or later.
C. Children need to work hard to be a winner in school.
D. Being a winner is something that we all work hard for in life.
E. It is also important to be a winner to your parents and family.
F. It is important to know how to win support from your family or friends
G. Being a good person and treating others with respect make you a true winner.
“Little lies” sometimes come to easily to us that we don’t even consider them to be lies. Read about these lies of everyday life:
1. Lying about your age or your kid’s age to get a cheaper ticket.
2. Telling the host of a dinner party that the terrible food he prepared is wonderful.
3. Lying to your aunt about how much you love the gift she gave you---the one that you really hate.
4. Telling a friend with a terrible haircut that she looks great.
5. Lying to a friend about how much you want to see her again when you really don’t
6. Telling the salesperson who calls when you’re watching TV that you’re very busy.
Are these serious lies? Probably not, but if you would lie about your age to a stranger, what’s going to stop you from lying about something more serious later? If we tell a lie or act dishonestly and get what we want, that might make us feel good today. But what about tomorrow? The future results of our lies are uncertain.
Still, no one is saying that everyone can or should be completely honest all the time. More people lie, often for a good reason. Lies are told all the time and are part of our everyday social life. Many times people lie to protect the feelings of other people, and there’s nothing wrong with that. Honesty is usually the best policy, but like any other policy, you have to make exceptions.
