I get up at six o’clock every day. After I wash my face and brush my teeth, I begin to review my lessons. I go to school at seven o’clock.
After school is over, I return home. We usually have supper at seven o’clock.
Then I begin to do my homework. I want to finish it before I go to bed.

★A MODEL STUDENT 模范學生
Do you mind being called a bad student? Of course not. So far as I know, everybody intends to be (become) a model student.
However, to be a model student is by no means an easy thing. First, he must do his best to obtain knowledge. A man without sufficient knowledge will not succeed. Secondly, he must remember to improve his health. Only a strong man can do great tasks. Thirdly, he should receive moral education. If his conduct is not good, no one will consider making friends with him.
你價意被稱為壞學生嗎？當然不。就我所知，每個人都打算做模范學生。
然而，做模范學生卻不容易。第一，他必須盡力獲得知識（求知）。一個沒有足夠知識的人是不會成功的。第二，他必須記住促進健康。只有強壯的人才能做大事。第三，他應該接受道德教育。如果他品行不好，沒有人會考慮和他交朋友的。
★HOW TO GET HAPPINESS 如何獲得快樂
There is no doubt that happiness is the most precious thing in the world. Without it, life will be empty and meaningless. If you wish to know how to get happiness, you must pay attention to the following two points.
First, health is the secret of happiness (the key to happiness). Only a strong man can enjoy the pleasure of life.
Secondly, happiness consists in contentment. A man who is dissatisfied with his present condition is always in distress.
無疑的快樂是世界上最寶貴的東西。沒有它，人生將是空虛的而且毫無意義的。如果你希望知道如何獲得快樂，你須注意下面兩點。
健康是快樂的要訣。唯有身體強壯的人才能享受人生的樂趣。
快樂在于知足。一個不滿于現狀的人終是處在痛苦之中。
★BOOKS 書籍
As is well known, books teach us to learn life, truth, science and many other useful things. They increase our knowledge, broaden our minds and strengthen our character. In other words, they are our good teachers and wise friends. This is the reason why our parents always encourage us to read more books.
Reading is a good thing, but we must pay great attention to the choice of books. It is true that we can derive benefits from good books. However, bad books will do us more harm than good.
如眾所周知，書籍教我們學習人生，真理，科學以及其它許多有用的東西。它們增加我們的知識，擴大我們的心胸并加強我們的品格。換句話說，它們是我們的良師益友。這是為什么我們的父母終是鼓勵我們要多讀書的理由。

One Sunday my mother (Mother) had (made) me take my little young brother to the a trip to the country. She bade me take good care of him.

When we felt tired, we returned home. We saw Mother (our mother) wait (waiting) for us at the door.
有一個星期日，我母親叫我帶小弟弟去鄉村游歷。她吩咐我要好好照料他。
當我們沿著道路行走的時候，太陽燦爛地照耀著，微風輕輕地吹著。我們看見美麗的花兒對我們微笑著，并聽見鳥兒在樹上唱著悅耳的歌曲，風景實十分美麗。
當我們感覺到疲倦的時候，我們就回家了。我們看見母樣正在門口等候我們。
★BE PATRIOTIC 要愛國
It is the duty of every citizen to make the country rich and powerful (To make the country rich and strong is...). In order to accomplish this object one must be patriotic (love his country). I consider this an unchangeable truth.
How can a student love his country (be patriotic)? I find my answer very simple and clear. He must study hard and store up knowledge so as to serve his (the) country in the future. If every student can do according to what I said, the country will certainly be rich and powerful.
要使國家富強是每個公民的責任。為了達到此目的，必須愛國。我認為這是一條不易的定理。
一個學生如何才能愛國呢？我發覺答復很簡單明了。他必須用功讀書并積儲知識以便將來服務國家。如果每個學生能按照我所說的去做，國家一定會富強。
★THE VALUE OF TIME 愛惜時光
An English proverb says that time is money. I consider it (this) wrong. Why? Because we all know that we can earn money be work but can not in any way get back time (in anyway). For this reason, we may (can) say that time is more valuable than money.
Many people do not know the value of time. It (this) is indeed a great pity. We must bear (keep) in mind that wasting time is equal to wasting your life.
英國有句諺語說，時間就是金錢。我認為這是不對的。為什么？因為我們大家都知道我們能夠用工作賺錢，但無論如何卻無法把時間爭取回來。基于此種理由，我們可以說時間比錢錢更寶貴。
許多人不知愛惜時光。這確實是可惜的。我們必須記住浪費時間等于浪費生命。
★WHY SHOULD WE STUDY ENGLISH 為什么我們要學英文
If you want to ask me why we should study English, my answer will be simple and clear. Now let me enumerate the reasons one by one in the following.
In the first place, English has become an international language. If you know English, you van make a trip round the world without being misunderstood.
In the second place, most valuable books, newspapers and magazines are written in English. If you wish (hope) to get knowledge, you must learn English.

★MY BIRTHDAY 我的生日
Yesterday was my birthday, so some of my classmates sent me presents. Mother prepared a tea party for me. I invited all of them to come and take part in it.
The tea party began at half past six. There were cold drinks and refreshments. We ate, talked and laughed. We felt that we were the happiest men in the world.
Time passed quickly. In a twinkling, the clock on the wall struck nine. We could not but say “Good-bye” to one another.
昨天是我生日，所以有幾位我的同班同學送我禮。母親給我準備一個茶會。我邀請他們都前來參加。
茶會下午六點半開始。有冷飲和點心。我們又吃又談又笑。我們覺得是世界上最快樂的人。
時間過得很快。轉瞬間，墻上的鐘敲九點了。我們不得不互道再見。
第十一天：HOW TO SPEND SUNDAYS 如何消度星期日
Some of us always spend Sundays aimlessly. We can seldom derive profits from the valuable hours (time) of Sundays. This is indeed a great pity. Though Sundays are set aside as a day for rest, we must make good use of them.
We know that our school lessons are usually not sufficient. We should often utilize Sundays to read reference books. In this way we will increase our knowledge. Besides, we must be engaged in sports or outing so as to strengthen our bodies.
我們許多人終是把星期日毫無目的地消度掉。這確實是十分可惜。我們很少能從星期日的寶貴時光中獲得益處。雖然星期日是被指定為一個休息的日子，但是我們卻應好好利用它。
我們知道我們學校的功課通常是不夠的。我們應時常利用星期日來閱讀參考書。如此我們的知識就會增加了。此外，我們必須從事運動或郊游以便強壯我們的身體。
★HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY 誠為上策
There is an English proverb which says (saying) “Honesty is the best policy.” It signifies the importance of honesty.
What are the benefits of honesty? If you are honest to others, they will be honest to you in return. When you are sad, they will comfort you. When you are in trouble, they will help you.
There is no enumerating the evils of dishonesty here. In a word, a dishonest man will be looked down upon by others and (be) regarded as a public enemy.
英國有一句諺語說“誠為上策”。它說明了誠的重要性。
誠的益處是什么？如果你對他人誠實，他們也會對你誠實作為報答。當你憂悉的時候，他們會安慰你。當你是處在困難中的時候，他們會幫助你。
無法在這里數述不誠實的害處。一言以蔽之，一個不誠實的人會被人看輕的而且被看作為一個公敵。
★HOW EXERCISE HELPS 運動的利益
If our bodies are not strong, our spirit to do things will certainly be quite dull. And at the same time, we are lack of energy (ies) to study. Diseases will only attack the weak, but not the strong.
Why are our bodies not strong? Because we do not pay attention to exercise. For this reason, we students must often take different kinds (sorts) of exercise in the gym.
Exercise helps us (to) strengthen our bodies and avoid disease. It also teaches us cooperation, for most exercise is played by team.
如果我們的身體不強壯，我們做事的精神一定會十分遲鈍。而且同時，我們也缺少足夠的精力來讀書。疾病只為侵擊體弱的人而不是強壯的人。
為什么我們的身體會不強壯呢？因為我們不注意運動。基于此種理由，我們學生必須時常在運動場做不同種類的運動。
運動幫助我們強壯身體并避免疾病。它也教我們合作，因為大多數的運動都是團體游玩的。
★THE BENEFITS OF TRAVELING 旅行的益處
I am always interested in traveling. My reasons are quite (extremely) simple and clear. If anybody is not satisfied with my viewpoint(s), I shall be greatly surprised at his ways of thinking.
In the first place, traveling increases our knowledge. Only by traveling can we see （因為用（only）開頭，主動詞須顛倒）things outside our home town.
In the second place, traveling is good to our health. While we are traveling, we usually exercise our bodies.
In conclusion, I earnestly hope that everybody must seize (grasp at) the opportunity of traveling.
我對旅行終是感覺有趣。我的理由非常簡單時了。如果任何人對我的觀點不滿意的話，我將對他的想法會大大吃驚。
旅行增加我們的知識。只有藉旅行我們可以看到我們故鄉以外的東西。
旅行對我們的健康有益。當我們旅行的時候，我們通常運動我們的身體。
★HOW TO BE A GOOD CITIZEN 如何做一個好公民
My aim is to become a good citizen so as to be able to render service to the (my) country. However, to become a good citizen is not an easy thing. He has many duties to fulfill.
The first duty of a good citizen is to love his country. He is to (must) be ready to sacrifice even his own life for the country.
His second duty is to obey the law and help the government (to) maintain order. If everybody can do so, the country will be rich and strong (powerful).
我的志向是做一個好公民以便能給國家效力。然而，做一個好公民不是一件容易的事情。他有許多責任要盡。
一個好公民第一件責任是愛他的國家。他須準備為國家犧牲自己的生命。
他第二件責任是服從法律并且幫助政府維持治安。如果人人都能這樣做的話，國家必定富強。
★THE NATIONAL FLAG 國旗
it is the duty of every citizen to honor the national flag. Why? Because the national flag is the symbol of a (the) country. To respect it means to respect the country. In other words, if a man loves his country, he must love the national flag.
In school, the national flag is usually raised at a certain time every day. Then the principal, teachers, staff and students are to (must) stand before it and sing the national anthem. It is indeed extremely meaningful to attend such a ceremony.
尊敬國旗是每個公民的責任（義務）。為什么？因為國旗是國家的象征。尊敬它意思就是尊敬國家。換句話說，如果一個人愛國，他必須愛國旗。
在學校里，通常每天定時要升旗。那時，校長，老師，教職員學生教師將恭敬地站在它前面并且唱國歌。參加此項儀式確實非常有意義。
★THE IMPORTANCE OF EDUCATION 教育的重要性
It is impossible for us to make our country rich and strong without developing education. Why? Because education gives people knowledge and teaches them how to become good citizens so as to be able to serve their country. No wonder they say that education decides the progress, prosperity and civilization of a country.
At present (Nowadays) most countries in (of) the world are enforcing compulsory education. It is necessary for all kinds of people, both rich and poor, to receive education. Taiwan is an exception as well not.
我們不可能使我們的國家富強而不發展教育。為什么？因為教育給予人民知識并教他們如何成為好公民以便能為國家效力。難怪，有人說教育決定一個國家的進步，繁榮與文化。
現在世界大多數的國家都在實施強迫教育。所有各類人民不論貧富都必須接受教育。臺灣也不例外。
★INDUSTRY (DILIGENCE) 勤勉
It is a matter of course that industry will bring us success, wealth and good luck. I am sure that a hard-working person can always succeed in the work which he wants to do. This is unchangeable truth.
Idleness is the opposite of industry. It is the source of all evil. An idle man only enjoys playing and making pleasures. That he is doomed to failure is of no doubt. We should not follow his example.
勤勉會帶給我們成功，財富和好運乃是當然之事。我確信一個苦干的人終是能夠做成功他所要做的工作。這是不易之定理。
懶惰是勤勉的反面。它是萬惡之源泉。一個懶惰的人只享受玩耍和尋樂。他命運注定失敗是毫無疑問的。我們不應學他的榜樣。

It is a small village. There are about one thousand inhabitants. Most of them are farmers. The mode of their living is very simple. However, they have already possessed television sets and refrigerators. They made up their minds to live a modern life.
我的故鄉是X。我們自從祖父是小孩時，就定居在此地。換句話說，我們家人在此地已經住了一百余年了。
這個小村莊。居民大約有一千人。他們大部分是農夫。他們的生活方式很簡單。然而，他們已擁有電視和冰箱。他們下定決心要過一個現代的生活。
★MY SCHOOL LIFE 我的學校生活
When I was six years old, I began to go to school. The first school (which) I attended was a primary school. There were many subjects (which were taught in the school, such as Chinese, arithmetic, history, geography, drawing and so forth. Since I was (became) a student, I studied very hard. My parents were quite proud of me.
After I had studied there for three years, I entered a junior high school. When I was twelve years old, I became a student of a senior high school. I still studied very hard. Except on sick leave I was never absent from class. Everybody looked upon me as a model student.
我六歲的時候，就開始上學了。我第一個上的學校是一所國小。學校里教的課目有許多，諸如國文，算術，史地，畫圖等等。既然我是一個學生，我就用功讀書。我父母深以我為榮。
我在那邊讀了三年后，就進入初中。我十二歲的時候，就成為一個高中的物理學。我依舊用功讀書。除病假外，我永不缺課。人人都把我看作是一個模范生。
★WAR 戰爭
Though the people in the world are all opposed to war, they can by no means avoid it. This is indeed a regrettable thing.
War is very terrible. Everybody hears it with fear. In a war thousands and thousands of lives will be lost and a large amount of money (will be) wasted. It brings us untold miseries and damage.
To sum up, so long as war is unavoidable, human beings cannot enjoy lasting peace. How tragical their fate is!
雖然世界的人民都反對戰爭，但是他們卻無法能夠避免它。這確實是件非常令人遺憾的事情。
戰爭是非常可怕的。每個人聽到它都害怕。在一次戰爭中，成千成萬的人喪失了生命，大量金錢浪費了。它帶給我們無窮盡的痛苦和損失。
總而言之，只要戰爭不可避免，人類不可能享受持久的和平。他們的命運是多么悲慘呀！
★COOD HEALTH 良好的健康
We all wish (hope) to be happy, so we should take good care of our health.
Health is the best treasure (which) a man can possess. Money can do many things, but it cannot buy happiness. However, so long as man has good health, he can enjoy the pleasures of human life.
In order to insure good health we must pay attention to three things. They are-nourishing food, fresh air and proper exercise.
我們大家都希望快樂，所以我們應該好好保重健康。一個病人因為失去健康而很少快樂。
健康是一個人所能擁有最好的財富。錢能做許多事情，但是它卻不能購買。然而，只要一個人有良好的健康，他就能享受人生的樂趣。
為了保證良好的健康，我們必須注意三件事情。它們是營養食物，新鮮空氣和正當運動。
★MONEY 錢
Everybody wishes (hopes) to get money so that he can maintain his livelihood. In other words, money is so useful that it is impossible for mankind to live without it. For this reason, we have an interesting proverb. It says “Money can make the world go around.” In a word, money is more powerful than anything else.
However, money should not be wasted. It must be used for (some) proper purposes. We young men should form the good habit of not spending money in the wrong way.
每個人為了能夠維持生活，所以都希望得到錢。換句話說，錢是非常有用，所以沒有它人類即無法生活。基于此種理由，我們有一句有趣的諺語。它說有“錢能使鬼推磨”。一言以蔽之，錢比任何另外的東西更有力量。
然而，錢不應該被浪費掉。它必須用于正當的用途上。我們青年人應該養成不亂花錢的好習慣。
★THE CHINESE NEW YEAR 中國新年
I like the Chinese new year better than any other festival. This is a time especially for rest and joy. I need not study. I wear good clothes and eat good food. I have a good time from morning till night. To be frank with you, I am as happy as a king.
The Chinese new year lasts as long as fifteen days. It gives us more pleasure than we have imagined. After that we have to（比用must來得好）resume our normal work.
我喜歡中國新年比喜歡其它任何節日更甚。這是一個專為休息和歡樂的時間。我不需要讀書。我穿好衣服，吃好東西。我每天從早到晚日子過得輕松愉快。坦白地說，我和帝一樣快樂。
中國新年持續十五天之久，它給我們的歡樂比我們想像中的更多。之后，我們就得恢復我們正常的工作了。
★THE ZOO 動物園
The zoo is the most interesting place that I have ever seen in my whole life. It is like a garden which shows (exhibits) various kinds of animals, birds and insects.
It is indeed a good idea to pay a visit to the zoo during school holidays. The more you look at the animals, the happier you will become. Of (Among) all the animals, the monkey is (monkeys are) the funniest. That’s my opinion. Do you agree.
動物園是我一生中所知道的最有趣的地方。它像一個各種類類動物，鳥類以及昆蟲展覽的花園。
在學校放假期間，參觀一下動物園，確實是一個好主意。你越喜歡看動物，你將越變得快樂。在所有動物中，猴子是最滑稽的。那是我的意見。你同意么？
★HOW I SPENT MY SUMMER VACATION 我如何度過暑假
No sooner had the summer vacation begun than I returned to my native town. Of course I must make good use of it; otherwise I would incur the displeasure of my parents.
In the morning I reviewed my lessons and read newspapers or magazines. In the afternoon I played ball games with my friends or went fishing in the river. At night (In the night) I watched television with my family (the members of my family). hardly had the clock on the wall struck ten when I went to bed.
暑假剛一開始，我就回故鄉了。自然我須好好利用它，否則我會招致父母的不快。
早晨我復習功課并閱讀報紙或雜志。下午我和朋友打球，或去河中釣魚。晚上我就和家人看看電視。墻上的鐘剛敲十下，我就去睡覺了。
★KNOWLEDGE IS POWER 知識就是力量
If we have no knowledge, we cannot succeed in doing any work. Why? Because knowledge is power. With knowledge we have conquered nature and invented steamers, trains and airplanes. We can send messages by telegram. We can talk with our friends by telephone.
As is well known, we students are the future masters of the nation. She (It) needs us very much. If we do not make efforts to acquire knowledge, how can we render service to her (it)?
如果我們沒有知識，我們就不能做成功任何事情。為什么？因為知識就是力量。馮藉知識我們征服了大自然，并且發明了輪船，火車與飛機。我們能用電報傳遞消息。我們能用電話和朋友談話。
如眾所周知，我們學生都是國家未來的主人翁。她非常需要我們。如果我們不努力去獲得知識，將來如何來報效她呢？
★A LETTER TO A FRIEND 一封給友人的信

祝你好
××× 敬上
★CHOOSING FRIENDS 選擇朋友
A man who is careful in choosing friends will certainly derive benefit from them. Why? Because there are more false friends than real ones in this world. To have one real friends is better than a hundred false ones. Friends who flatter you to your face are not true friends.
We must make friends with those who have good character and kindness of heart. On the other hand, we should do our best to a void keeping company with bad people.
一個小心選擇朋友的人一定會從他們那里獲得益處。為什么？因為在這個世界里假朋友比真朋友要多。有一個真朋友要比有一百個假朋友來得好。凡是當面奉承你的朋友不是真朋友。
我們必須和凡是具有良好品格和心地善良的人交朋友。反過來說，我們應盡力避免結交壞人。
★TO RISE EARLY 論早起
I do not know the reason why some people want to get up late. They will never have the opportunity to enjoy (of enjoying) the fresh air and calmness of the morning. This is indeed a quite regrettable thing.
To rise early is a good habit (which) we should cultivate. Why? Because the best time when we can pursue our studies is in the morning. In addition, early rising is also good to our health. I hope that everybody our knows the reason why we must rise early.
我不知道某些人要晚起的理由。他們永不會有機會來享受早晨的新鮮空氣和寧靜。這真是一件 發令人遺憾的事情。
早起是我們應該養成的一種良好習慣。為什么？因為早晨是我們從事學業的大好時間。再者，早起對我們健康也有益處。我希望每個人應該知道我們必須早起的理由。
★THRIFT 節儉
There is not a (no) thrifty man but becomes a rich man sooner or later. Why? Because he will not spend such money as is unnecessary. Little by little his money will accumulate. Ten to one, he is bound to make a fortune.
I do not like such men as spend their money in a wrong way. They do not know extravagance is a bad thing. It can only make them happy for the time being. In short, thrift makes poor men rich and extravagance makes rich men poor.
沒有一個節儉的人遲早不成為一個富翁。為什么？因為他決不花像那種不必要的錢。漸漸他的錢就會聚積起來。十之八九，他一定會發財的。
我不喜歡那種亂花錢的人。他們不知道奢侈是一件壞事。它只能夠使他們暫時快樂而已。總而言之，節儉使窮人變富，奢侈使富人變窮。
★PERSEVERANCE 毅力／堅忍
Needless to say, nothing but perseverance can lead a man to the way of success. In other words, a persevering man never does his work without succeeding in it. This is indeed unchangeable truth.
Our National Father, Dr. Sun Yat-Sen, is the most ideal example. He was devoted to the revolution about forty years. He met with many failures, but he was anything but discouraged. As a result, he won. The Republic of China was born.
不需說，只有毅力才能引導人邁向成功之途。換句話說，一個具有毅力的人做工作終是(never...without)會把它做成功的。這真是不易之定理也。
我們國父孫中山先生是一個最理想的例了.致力國民革命凡四十年。他遭遇到許多次的失敗，但是他決不灰心。結果，他贏了。中華民國誕生了。
★MY MOTHER 我母親
My mother is a woman of the old school. She is too conservative to keep up with the times. However, she is good-natured and treats others incerely. For this reason, all her neighbors are only too glad (pleased) to make friends with her. They consider her a model woman.
She is a typical housewife. She keeps the (her) house neat and clean and looks after us with extreme care . She often says to us, “You cannot study too hard.”
我母親是中國老式女子。她太保守無法跟上時代。然而，她性情善良，待人誠懇。基于此種理由，所有她的鄰居都十分高興和她結交朋友。他們認為她是模范女子。
她是一位標準的家庭主婦。她把家保持整潔。她小心翼翼地照顧我們。她時常對我們說：“你們越用功越好”。
★WHERE THERE IS A WILL, THERE IS A WAY 有志者事竟成
The secret of success (The key to success) is not so much money as a strong will. A great man is one who has a strong will and an indomitable spirit. In other words, if a man does not have a strong will to win (get) the final victory, he will never succeed in his life. He is no more than a failure.
It is quite obvious that there is no difficult thing (nothing difficult) in the world. if you make up your mind to do it, you will certainly accomplish your end. That stands to reason.
成功的要訣不是金錢而是一個堅強的意志（用not so mush... as）。一個大人物是一個具有堅強意志和不屈不撓精神的人。換句話說，如果一個人沒有堅強意志去獲得最后勝利的人，他終其一生永遠不會成功。他只不過是（用no more than）一個失敗者。
很顯明的世界上并沒有難事。如果你下定決心去做它，你一定會達到目的。那是顯而易見的。
★DUTIES OF A STUDENT 學生的責任
Education is the very thing that we want to receive. Our parents send us to school so as to enable us to get (obtain) knowledge and achieve great things in the future. The following are the duties of a student (which) we should keep in mind.
In the first place, we should be filial to our parents and respectful to our teacher.
In the second place, we have to (must )study as hard as we can.
In the third place, we must not tell lies.
Last of all, we must not criticize others.
To sum up, the above-mentioned rules are the very duties of a student.
教育就是我們要接受的東西。我們父母送我們上學以便能使人們獲得知識與將來成大事。下面是我們應該記住的學生的責任。
我們應對父母要孝順，對老師要尊敬。
我們要盡可能的用功讀書。
我們切不可說謊。
最后，我們不要批評別人。
總而言之，上面所說的規則就是我們應盡的責任。
★TO BE PATIENT 要忍耐
When someone disagrees with you or offends you, don’t lose your temper. Why? Because it is of no use to do so. You ought to (should) be patient and keep calm lest you should quarrel with him. You must know that patience is not cowardice, but a virtue. I hope that everybody practices it.
In addition, patience will also bring us success. When you meet with difficulties in your work, it is no use losing heart. You must keep on fighting until (till) the final victory belongs to you.
當有人和你意見不同或開罪你的時候，你切不可發脾氣。為什么？因為這樣做是無用的（用of no use）。你應當忍耐并且保持冷靜，唯恐和他爭吵。你必須知道忍耐不是弱而是一種美德。我希望人人都實行它。
另外，忍耐也會帶給我們成功。當你在工作中遭遇到困難的時候，灰心是無用的。你必須繼續作戰直到最后勝利屬于你為止。
★SANITARY WAYS IN SUMMER 夏天的衛生方法
Not only is summer a hot season but also diseases are apt to happen. To us it is neither comfortable nor safe.
If we do not wish to get sick, we must pay attention to the following sanitary ways in summer.
Both fresh air and clean food are indispensable to us.
We must try our best to get (obtain) them.
We should take at least one bath every day.
Don’t wear dirty clothes.
In conclusion, if we can carry out the above – mentioned rules, we will neither get (take/fall) sick nor suffer pain.
夏天不僅是個炎熱的季節，而且疾病也容易發生。它對我們既不舒適也不安全。我們希望不生病，就得注意下面那些夏天衛生的方法。
新鮮空氣和干凈的食物兩者對我們是不可缺少的。我們必須盡全力去獲得它們。
我們每天至少應當洗一個澡。
不要穿臟衣服。
總而言之，如果我們能實行上面所說的那些規則，我們既不會生病也不會吃苦。
★WORK WHILE YOU WORK, PLAY WHILE YOU PLAY 工作時工作，游玩時游玩
Both work and play are necessary to us; the former gives us knowledge while the latter (gives) rest. An English proverb is well said: “Work while you work play while you play.” It makes our life pleasant, efficient and successful.
Work is one thing and play is another. It is of course not good to work all day long. However, it is also not good to play all day long. While you work, you should work in earnest. Then while you play, you will feel more relaxed and pleasant. That goes without saying.
工作和游玩兩者對我們都是必須的，前者給我們知識，后者給我們休息。英諺說得好“工作時工作，游玩時游玩”。它使我們的生活愉快，有效率以及成功。
工作是一回事，游玩又是另一回事。整日工作自然不好。然而，整天游玩也是不好。當你工作時，你應認真工作。那末當你游玩時，你會覺得比較輕松愉快。那是不需說的。
★MY FAVORITE PASTIME 我心愛的消遣
It goes without saying that work without rest will do harm to health. In other words, we had better take sufficient recreation to relax after work.
There is no doubt that there are a number of amusements, such as playing ball games, collecting stamps, fishing, gardening, skating and so on.
As for (to) me, I take great delight in gardening. Whenever I am at leisure, I am accustomed to growing flowers. I regard them as my most agreeable companion.
不需說，工作而不休息會對健康有害的。換句話說，我們最好工作后，從事分的消遣來輕松一下。
無疑的，消遣的種類很多，諸如打球，集郵，釣魚，園藝，溜冰等等。
就我而言，我大大喜歡園藝。每當我有閑暇的時候，我習慣于種花。我把它們看作是我最稱心如意的伴侶。
★FACTORS OF SUCCESS 成功要素
I would rather suffer hardships than fail. In other words, to achieve success is my only desire. We all know that there are many factors of success. Now let me write down the most important ones in the following.
Diligence-Foolish as a person is, he can succeed in his work if he works hard. That does not admit of any doubt.
Perseverance-When you fail, don’t lose heart. Keep on working until you accomplish your aim.
Honesty-If you tell lies or does not keep your words, no one will rely on you. I would rather be scolded than cheat (others).
我寧愿受苦難不愿失敗。換句話說，獲致成功是我唯一的愿望。我們大家知道成功要素很多。現在讓我們把它們最重要的寫在下面。
勤勉――一個人雖然不大聰明，但是他地能做成他的工作，如果他苦干的話。那是不容置疑的。
毅力――當你失敗的時候，不要灰心。要繼續工作，直到你達到目的為止。
誠實――如果你說謊或不守信，沒有人會信賴你。我寧愿挨罵不愿欺騙人。
★MY AIM 我的志向
Whatever a man’s status is (may be), he must have an aim. If not, he can hardly stand on his own two feet in the world. That stands to reason.
However important fame and wealth may be, we must not let them become our object in life. We should aim at doing something useful to the society.
If my aim can come true, I hope (wish) to be a teacher. However, teaching is by no means an easy thing. I must apply myself closely to my studies so as to be able to cope with my duties (as a teacher).
不論人是什么身份，他必須有一個志向。如果沒有的話，他很難立足于世上。那是顯而易見的。
不論名利如何重要，我們切不可讓它們成為我們生活之目標。我們應當志在做一些對社會有益的事情。
如果我的志向能實現的話，我就希望成為一個老師。然而，教書并不是一容易的事情。我必須專心學業以便能應因我的職責。
★OUR NATIONAL FATHER 我的國父
There is no doubt that Dr. Sun Yat-Sen is the greatest man that I ever known in my whole life. He set up the Republic of China, so we call him our National Father.
He was devoted to the revolution about forty years. His aim was to liberate China from the hands of the Manchu Dynasty. He had not met with result, but he was not discouraged at all. As a result, he accomplished his end in the long run.
To sum up, his strong will and indomitable spirit are worth our worship and imitation (are worth our worshiping and imitating).
無疑的，中山先生是我一生知道的最大的人物。他建立中國，所以我以他為我的國父。
他致力革命凡四十年。他的目的是從清朝手里解放中國。他曾遭遇屢次的失敗，但他卻一點也不灰心。那是不需說的。結果，他終于達到目的。
總而言之，他堅強的意志和不屈不撓的精神值得我們的崇拜和仿效。
★My favorite Sports 我最喜歡的運動
During my secondary school years I often liked to go to the recreation room to play table tennis. Some of my classmates were very good at this game and I often tried to compete with them to improve my skill. In high school I spent many hours playing outdoor sports. I enjoyed team sports like basketball and volleyball. In my senior year I started to practice tennis. Sometimes I would find a partner to play tennis with me, but as yet I am not very good at this sport. Tennis requires great strength in the arms and legs as well as strong concentration on the game.
在我讀中學的日子里，我常到活動室打乒乓球。我有些同學精于此道，我常與他們對抗以提高自己的技術。讀高中時，我把大量的時間用來做戶外運動，我喜歡團隊的運動項目，比如籃球和排球。臨畢業那年，我開始練乒乓球。有時我可以找到一個同伴陪我打，但是我打得不是很好。打乒乓球不僅需要強壯的臂力和腿部力量，還需要集中精力。
★Obeying the Traffic Laws 遵守交通規則
I am often very afraid to cross-large wide streets. I always go to the traffic light and use the crosswalk, but many times I have been frightened. When the light changes to green I still need to look both directions to check the traffic. On many occasions a speeding motorcycle or bicycle or once a truck drove past the red light and across the pedestrian's path. When I have my bicycle, I get off and walk across the street, but always someone crosses the red light. Once at the intersection near the shopping mall I saw an accident: a taxi had stopped for the light, and another truck came from behind and did not stop. For safety, it is very important for everyone to obey the traffic laws.
橫過大寬馬路時，我常會害怕。我總是看著信號燈，走人行橫道。僅管這樣，我還是被嚇著了幾次。當信號燈換成綠燈時，我還是要朝兩邊看一下。很多時候，超速行駛的摩托車或自行車甚至是卡車，都闖紅燈穿過人行橫道。當我騎車時,我就會下來,推著車子步行過馬路, 但總有人闖紅燈。一次，在靠近購物廣場的那個十字路口，我見到了一起交通事故：一輛出租車停在那兒等紅燈，但是它后面的卡車沒停。所以，從安全計，每個人都遵守交通規則是很重要的。
★Winter 冬天
Winter is very cold and windy in most parts of China. I usually look forward to the Spring Festival and the winter holiday when I can go to the south where the climate is warmer during these holidays. Also, I look forward to seeing my grandparents and my friends. Winter is the time everyone is in a festive mood. In the city, I usually do a lot of reading at home in the winter because of eh cold weather outside.
中國大部分地區的冬天是即冷又有風的。我總是盼望著春節或寒假，到時候我就可以去南方了，當地的氣候在這時會暖和的多。我也盼望著去探望我的祖父母和我的朋友。冬天，每個人都懷著喜慶的心情。在城里，冬天的時候我經常待在家里盡情地看書，因為外面的天氣非常的冷。
★Autumn 秋天
For me the autumn or fall starts in September when school starts its new term. I usually do some shopping. The mild weather made it very nice to study outside under the trees in a small park close to my house. I like to look up the leaves changing colors from green to red and yellow, and then brown colors. The park also has many bright fall flowers; sometimes I see a small squirrel coming down from the tree to hunt for food on the ground. On the weekends, I sometimes like to fly my kite. Usually on the street corners you can see street peddlers selling warm baked sweet potatoes. This is a nice time of the year.
我覺得秋天是在9月份新學期幵始的時候來臨.我常常要去買一些東西.宜人的天氣讓我感覺在離家不遠的小公園的樹下學習是件非常愜意的事.我喜歡抬起頭看蓍枝頭上的樹葉由綠變紅,變黃,然后再變褐.公園里還有許多鮮艷的秋花.有時我會見到小松鼠從樹上跳到地上覓食.在周末,我有時會去放風箏.在街頭的拐角處,常常會有街頭小販在賣烤紅薯.秋天是一年中的好時節.
★Summer 夏天
Summer is the great season for all sports in the open air. It is the season for football which is often called the national sport because of its popularity. I usually watch television and read the newspaper reports about the football results of the little leagues. During the summer I like to go to the beach often because it is very close to my home. I usually go there during the summer vacation to relax after many months in school in the city. I feel very comfortable with the familiar quiet life of the villagers.
夏天是戶外運動最好的季節.這是一個橄欖球的季節,橄欖球由于廣受歡迎被稱為全民運動.我常常看電視,看報紙,從報道中獲得小聯盟橄欖球賽的比賽結果.夏日里,我喜歡經常去海灘,因為那里離我家不遠.在城里的學校呆了幾個月后,暑假我常常去那里放松一下.此處有我很熟悉的村民們的寧靜生活,這讓我倍感舒適.
★Spring 春天
Spring is a delightful season. The temperatures are moderate, and the blooming trees and flowers make the city bright with colors. This is the time when we can begin to wear lighter and more brightly colored clothes and go outdoors more often. Smaller children like to bring their kites out to the spacious square. Also I enjoy going back to the village on this holiday after being in the city for the winter months.
春天是個讓人欣喜的季節.氣溫適中,掛滿綠葉的樹和盛開的花朵給城市增添了明亮的色彩.在這個時節里,我們可以穿上輕便靚麗的衣服經常出門去了.小孩子們則喜歡在廣闊的天空中放風箏.在城里呆了一個冬天之后,我也喜歡回到村子里度假.
★A Youth and His Country 今日青年
The youth of today will help to shape the future of his country tomorrow. As a good citizen, he should prepare himself in his everyday life as well as in school for the contribution of his talent to his country. He should have ability or skill to work. He should keep well informed and help to inform others about what his country's problems are. He should try to find out and show what he can do for his country. Also he should be physically strong and mentally sound. As a responsible citizen, with his courage, enthusiasm, and love, he will help to make his country one of which all its citizens can be proud.
今日的青年將肩負他們國家的未來。作為一個好公民，他應該在日常生活中和在學校時一樣準備著把自己的聰明才智貢獻給國家。他應有一定工作能力和技能，他應該清楚的知道，并且幫助別人了解他們國家的問題所在。他應該知道且顯示他能夠為他的國家做些什么。同時他應該有強健的體魄和良好的精神狀態。作為一個有責任感的公民，他將會用他的勇氣、熱情和愛心使他的國家成為全民都為之自豪的國度。
★My Friend 我的朋友
John is the most diligent student in our class. He is one of my friends. As a matter of fact, he gets along with his classmates. He might spend just five to ten minutes talking to you once in a long while, but he talks with enthusiasm and energy, and he likes to share his thinking and ideas with you. He is honest; he does not like to waste his time and energy. He never appears sleepy and tired in the classroom. He always hands in homework on time and also does well in his examinations, yet he has time practicing playing football and his violin skill. I admire him. I hope I can be as diligent as he is; John is persistent, attentive, and energetic.
John是我們班上最勤奮的學生。他也是我的一個朋友。實際上，他和班上的同學相處的都很融洽。也許過好長時間他才只是花5分鐘或10分鐘和你聊天，但是他的談話充滿了活力和熱情，而且他喜歡和你分享他的思想和想法。他是誠實的，他不會無謂的浪費他的時間和精力。在教室里，他從沒有顯得困倦或是疲憊。他常常會按時交作業，考試中也會取得好成績，然而他仍會有時間踢足球和練小提琴。我羨慕他，我希望自己能象他那樣勤奮。John是個執著、專注、充滿活力的人。
