By the time it was put out, about 80 men had been injured and nine had been killed in the fire.

3、航班丢包

Dear Sir/Madam,

I took the flight BA793 on June 3, 2010. But when I came to my home, I suddenly found I lost

a suitcase. So I am writing to ask you for help.

My suitcase is a small blue one with a zip. There is a label on the handle with my name and address on it. It is really important for me, because I had put all my important documents in it, including my ID card, passport and so on. Besides, it was sent by my father as a gift on my birthday. I would appreciate it a lot if you could help me find it.

Thanks for your kind consideration and I’m looking forward to receiving your earliest reply.

Yours truly,

Li Hua.

4、致歉作文

Dear Tom,

I am indeed very sorry that I can’t go to Beijing with you next week, which I have promised.

I feel sorry about it and want you to know what happened.

Just now, my cousin, Li Qiong, who left home to Australia for his further study last year, informed me that he would return this Saturday morning and asked me to pick him up at the airport with his family. You know, we haven’t seen each other for nearly a year.

I sincerely hope you can accept my apologies and understand me. I would appreciate it if you could allow me to fix another date to show you around Beijing. Once again, I’m sorry for any inconvenience caused to you.

Sincerely yours,

Li Hua

I was caught in a terrible sandstorm last week on my way to school. An orange sky and strong winds covered the city in a thick, brown-yellow dust. It was difficult to see and breathe and the dust made me ill. It was the most frightening and the most dangerous situation I’ve ever been in.

It’s high time we took measures to prevent sandstorms from happening. First of all, we should improve our sense of protecting the environment. In addition, we should plant more trees and don’t cut them down or dig up grass, which can help prevent land from becoming desertification. Only in this way can we have a bluer sky and a better world to live in.

6、来美国,最近感到很烦恼,请求帮助

Dear Editor,

I am writing to you for help. It is half a month since I came to America with parents, yet I haven’t got used to the life in America. Recently I feel very bored and depressed.

My parents are busy with their work day and night, sparing no time to take care of me. I am the only child at home. When they are out, I have to stay at home alone, doing nothing but watch TV all day. Though the programs are interesting, I still feel lonely because I haven’t got any friends here now, which makes me remember the days when I lived in China. In those days, whenever I was happy or not, I could share it with my friends. I think I have got into trouble.

I would appreciate it very much if you could give me some advice. I am looking forward to your reply.

Sincerely,

7、学中文建议

Dear Peter,

I'm glad to receive your letter asking for my advice on how to learn Chinese well. It’s a pleasure for me to help you with Chinese study as much as possible.

Here are a few suggestions on how to learn Chinese well. First, it is important to take a Chinese course, as you’ll be able to learn from the teacher and practice with your fellow students. Then, it also helps to watch TV and read books, newspapers and magazines in Chinese whenever possible. Besides, it should be a good idea to learn and sing Chinese songs, because by doing so you’ll learn and remember Chinese words more easily. Last but not the least, you can also make more Chinese friends, who will tell you a lot about China and help you learn Chinese.

Try and write to me in Chinese next time.

8、对Mary 表示感谢

Dear Mary,

I’m writing to say thanks to you. It’s really kind of you to show us around when my parents and I were in Shanghai. It’s your help and care that made us feel warm and gave us an unforgettable memory.

Dear Tom,

I am sorry to hear that you have got into the habit of smoking, which worries me a lot.

As we know, smoking can do great harm not only to the smoker himself, but also to others. First, smoking is harmful to people’s health. It’s known that hundreds of thousands of people die from illnesses related to smoking every year. Besides, smoking wastes lots of money, which should be spent more meaningfully on other things. What’s worse, every year many people are killed or get injured in fires caused by smoking.

So for the health and safety of yourself and others, I sincerely advise you to give up smoking.

Yours,

Li Hua 10、如何保持健康

Dear Mary,

I’m happy to receive your letter. You asked me how to keep healthy and I’d like to give you some advice.

As you know, we teenagers are growing fast, so firstly we need to have a healthy diet. In other words, you should eat more vegetables and fruit, but not too much fat or sugar. Secondly, we need to take more exercise so that we can keep fit. We can go running, play ball games or simply take a walk after a day’s study. What’s more, having enough sleep is very important. So I advise you to sleep at least eight hours a day, get up early in the morning and not to stay up too late. Finally, we should develop a good attitude to life. Life consists of not only sunshine but also hard times. We should be brave in front of difficulties.

Wish you good health.

11、和父母相处

I feel very happy that you trust me and share with me your personal problems. I have to say that you are not alone when having trouble communicating with your parents. It’s a common problem shared by many students. So, don’t worry.

My suggestions are as follows. Firstly, try to understand them. After all, there is no one who loves you more than your parents in the world. Wherever you are, they will always be there for you. Secondly, don’t hide your feelings and share your thoughts with your parents. Try to be a good listener, stay calm and avoid angry actions. Thirdly, let them know that you have tried your best. It is not their fault（过错) to expect too much of you. I believe they will certainly be satisfied with you as long as they know you have tried your best.

Hope these suggestions will be helpful to you and you will get along well with your parents.

15、减压调查结果

Hi everyone. I have recently made a survey among 100 students in our school about how they relieve pressure in their daily school life.

As the chart shows, up to 29 percent of the students choose music as their favorite way and the percentage of those (turning to TV and the Internet) reaches 28 percent, while 18 percent of the students get out of their worries by sleeping. But exercise and others take up only 15 percent and

10 percent.

I prefer taking exercise to get relaxed. Whether I feel stressed, I will take exercise. And all the worries will disappear with the sweat. Besides, it benefits sleep, which makes me more confident. To sum up, exercise is a perfect way to reduce anxiety.

17、英语进步

Dear Joan,

I’m glad to send you an e-mail to tell you that I’m getting more and more interested in English.

However, in the past I thought learning English meant learning grammar rules and words by heart. I didn’t like to do any reading in English, nor was I willing to practice speaking English with my classmates.

Now with my English teacher’s help, I come to realize that it is by speaking English that we can learn it well. I begin to enjoy speaking English and communicating with my classmates. Besides, I often read the latest English articles and look up some information on the Internet, which makes me more and more interested in English. As a result, I have made great progress in English.

Getting up early is a good habit. It is of great importance to our health and study.

First, it helps us keep healthy and strong. We can improve our health by doing morning exercises, walking or running in the open air. Second, getting up early and reading aloud can help remember what we have learned. Third, if we get up early, we don’t need to be in a hurry to go to school without having breakfast. So we will be full of energy and get well prepared for the whole day. Last but not least, if we stick to getting up early every day, we will benefit from it, especially in our character-building.

Yours, 投诉信Li Hua 2011年6月8日

尊敬的校长，

我是李越，高二一班的一名学生。我想要您关注一下:最近，学生们一直在破坏学校的财产并且不保持地面整洁。

一些学生一直在运动场的墙上和财产上随意涂写。它损害了学校的形象，因为许多人来这观看比赛和其他体育项目。另一个问题是满地垃圾的问题。这种杂乱无章使得在场地上坐着休息和放松很难。

我建议学校应该发布通知重申随意涂写和乱扔垃圾是不允许的。学校应该在地面上加设更多垃圾箱。

感谢您的考虑。

Dear Mr. Headmaster,

I’m Li Yue, a student from Class1, Senior II.

I would like to bring to your attention that recently, students have been damaging school property and treating the grounds with disrespect.

Some students have been scribbling on walls and property on the sports ground. It hurts our school’s image, since many people come here to watch matches and other sporting events. Another problem is the litter that is all over the grounds.

I suggest that the school make an announcement

restating that scribbling on walls and littering are not acceptable. The school should also add more waste bins to the grounds area.

Thank you for your consideration.

Yours ……

Li H 经典文学作品阅读调查

Recently a survey has been made

among 200 students in our school about

their attitude towards classic works of literature.

Among the 200 students interviewed, as many as 110 admit they have never read any classic literature works while only 25 say they read them often. The number of students who read occasionally is 65 and none of the 200 students read classic works of literature every day. According to the figures mentioned above, we can draw a conclusion that students are not interested in reading classic works of literature at all.

As far as I’m concerned, we students can benefit a lot from reading classic works of literature. Not only can we gain abundant knowledge, but we can better understand the real life as

well. So we’d better take advantage of our spare time to read as many classic works of literature as possible.

文化遗产

的发展，越来越多的文化遗产处于严重的危险中。一些已经受到严重的影响，造成了巨大的损害。

看到这样的情形，我非常担心。我们都知道，文化遗产是中国传统文化的珍贵的一部分。它们记录了古老中国文明的发展。

因此，该是我们采取有效措施保护他们的时候了，不仅为了我们自己也为了后代。首先，政府应该参与进来并且制定严格的法律组织非法行为。而且，一些相关组织应该加强合作，提高公众保护文化遗产的意识。最重要的是，我们每个人都应该积极参加文化遗产的保护，为此作出贡献。

With the development of cities, more and more historic cultural heritages are in serious danger. Some have been badly affected, causing great damage.

Seeing the situation, I am greatly concerned. As we all know, cultural heritage is a precious part of traditional Chinese culture. They kept records that tell much about the development of ancient Chinese civilization.

Therefore, it’s time we took effective measures to protect them, not only for ourselves but also for the

next generations. First, the government should get involved and make strict laws to stop some illegal behaviors. What’s more, some related organizations should strengthen cooperation and raise public awareness of protecting the cultural heritage. Above all, every one of us should take an active part in cultural heritage protection and make great contributions to it.

21st 单车小子译短文

生活中我们常会面临很多困难。研究表明：你越害怕这些困难，它们似乎越强大。一味地抱怨毫无意义。我们能做的只有坚持梦想，永不放弃。张智勇给我们树立了很好的榜样。

他是怎样设法取得了很多单车手梦寐以求的成功呢？首先，兴趣是最好的老师。正是他的好奇心吸引他走进这项运动。其次，专注也是必要的。他把大部分时间投入到这项运动中。最重要的是，他从来没把遇到的困难看成是障碍；相反，他勇敢地面对并努力地克服这些困难。最终，这些困难促使他走向成功。

We are often faced with many difficulties in our daily life. A study has shown that the more scared you are of difficulties, the bigger they can seem to you. There is no point complaining all the time. We have no choice but to hold on to our dream and never give up. Zhang Zhiyong has set a good example to us.

How did he manage to achieve the success that many BMX riders can only dream about? First, interest is the best teacher. It was his curiosity that drew him to the game. What’s more, dedication is also a must. Zhang devoted most of his time to the sport. Above all, he never saw the difficulties he faced as obstacles. On the contrary, he faced them bravely and made efforts to get them over. In the end, it was the difficulties that contributed to his success.

河狸感悟4.13

今天初次登台演讲，甚感荣幸。我认为，坚持是实现成功和梦想的必要品质。我们应该培养这种品质，因为生活中我们会面临许多困难。有人说天分成就伟大的事业，但只有天分是不会成功的。拿河狸为例，为了春天能拥有足够的食物，它会用一冬天的时间啃倒一颗枫树，即使在冬天面临许多困难，它也没有放弃。每天专注地工作，它成功地实现了自己的目标。

当春天来临时，他的坚持得到了回报。正如谚语所说，坚持就是胜利。总之，坚持是一对翅膀，它能帮助我们飞向成功的彼岸。谢谢！

This is the first time I have given a speech onstage. It’s a great honor for me to stand here and deliver my speech to you all.

In my eyes, persistence is a necessary quality for success and achieving your dreams. We should develop this quality since we have many difficulties to overcome in life. Many people say talent contributes to a great professional career. But talent alone does not lead to success. Take the beaver as an example. It devotes itself to chewing a maple tree all winter to have enough food for the spring. Even with the setbacks he faces over winter, he never gives up. Working every day with that particular focus in mind, he successfully achieves that goal. When the spring comes, his persistence has paid off. Just as the saying goes, persistence means victory.

In a word, persistence is a pair of wings that can help us fly toward success.

Thank you for listening!
