（1）Today is Sunday. The sky is full of sunshine, so does my life. At about 9:00 a.m., I go to the bookstore with my friends. There was a lot of new books. I didn’t know what one to buy because these books were all useful to me. At 10:00, we went to cinema. The film was called The Earthquake of Tangshan but some people were waiting outside the booking office. It took us about two hours to see it. Having been seen the film, everyone was deeply moving. Some of my friends even burs t into tear. That’s a really wonderful film. It is very worth seeing.What a happy day!

Once I waited a bus to come at a stop. 30 minutes past, but no bus came. Both upset and annoyed, I decided to walk on feet. But no sooner had I left when the bus arrived. I thought if I had waited for one more minute, I would have caught it. If I chose to take a next bus, I would have to wait for other 30 minutes. Only then do I realize my problem. Being impatient will possible waste all the effort that we have put it in. Now whenever I am close to lose my patience, I’ll think of this experience.（4）Two years before, I traveled to Brazil and I rented for a car. Unfortunate, I had an accident and hit another car, and I needed to stay in a hospital for at least two week. I called my parents, so I did not tell them what had happened. I knew that they will be worried about myself because I was so farther away, and that my mother would not sleep if she knew. Therefore, I told them interested stories and how I was enjoying Brazil. As a result, nobody knew truth. I still think that it was the right thing to do.（5）Dear manager,I’m one of your customer. The day before yesterday I bought a walkman in your shop. Before I left, I do check itcarefully and everything was all right. When I got home, therefore, I found a fault with it. The problem is what the “Play” doesn’t work at all. Probable it’s not your fault and so is mine. Anyhow, I can’t solve the problem in person.You see, a walkman is of great useful for me to learn English and I cannot wait for too long before this problem is solved. Hopefully you will deal with the walkman without delay, when you accept my letter.Hoping to hear of you in the earliest possible time!Your sincerely,Li Hua（6）Dear Jim,I am so exciting that you will come to China.

During your stay here, I’ll take you to some places of interests and you can taste some local snacks. I am sure we will have greatly fun together.I’m looking forward to meeting you so on.Yours,John（7）Dear Miss Li,I’m one of your student in Class S ix, Senior Three. Nowadays I meet a great many difficulties when studied English. To begin with, it is very difficult of me to memorize a large number of new words. In addition, grammar is too complex tounderstand, that has influenced my English writing seriously. And my performance on reading and correcting are not satisfying. Faced with such a dilemma, you hope that you can give me a hand. Would you provide me with someeffectively approaches? Secondly, I believe that I will have good command of what you teach, if you will slow down your speed in the class. There is no doubt whether I will achieve great progress in English learning with your assistance. Thank you.Yours,Wang Min（8）Hello, boys and girls! Today, I am going to talk with what you should do when a fire alarm go off. If you hear the alarm, stand in line at the door and wait your teacher to lead you outside.

If it’s a false alarm and there is no fire, your teacher will lead us back to the classroom. If you notice that when someone is missing and hurt, tell your teacher immediately.（9）Nowadays there was a kind of language called Web language. Some people even speak Chinese mixed in English words. This is a phenomenon which is worth think about. Some people think it makes no difference in helping people learn English. Besides, it will ruin the Chinese language. However, the others, especially the youngsters, are fond this new language. They think it of special help in expressing them. What’s more, it may make the language to have more uses. In my opinions, it’s no g ood using this kind of language. It may be popular, and you may al so getothers confusing.（10）Nowadays, with the growing popularity of computers, students were paying less and less attention to handwriting.According to a recently survey, many students don’t want to improve their handwriting for various reason. 52 percent of them think that they can just use a computer, so it is no need to waste time improving our handwriting. 32 percent believe that they are too busy with the study that they have no time to practising, and 16 percent think that practicing handwriting is useless.As the saying went, writing style shows the man. Beautiful and neat handwriting is great benefit, especially for students. Therefore, in my opinion, the more importance should be attached to handwriting from now on.（11）I learned early in life that I had to be more patient and little aggressive. From the time I was about four until I was about six, I destroyed each of my toy. I was happy when the toys worked, but when things did wrong, I got angry and broke it. For a while parents bought me new toys. But before long they began to see which was happening. When I tear apart my fifth birthday toy train, my father said, "That's it. No more toys to you." My punishment lasted a year. Meanwhile, I found out that with more patience I must make my toys to last. My attitude changed from then on.（12）We were assigned a composition but I was in good mood for it until this morning. It is Sunday today, so I had a good sleep. When I get up, I had a strong desire do something. So I set aboutdoing the toughest thing -- writing a composition. I had an extreme quick head and a good idea upon other rushed into my mind. Before long I typed about 500 words. I skimmed through my work and was quite satisfying. It should be another model composition. I stretched myself, intend to polish it after a rest, so something unexpected had happened: the power failed suddenly. And I forgot to save the file!（13）My father and I stayed at the South Lake Hotel for a week when we visit Beijing last month. It is in the downtown area, but it is easy to go to anywhere from the hotel by public transport.We lived in a comfortably double-room with a big bath. What I liked best were the free high-speed Internet connection in the room. I checked my email messages every day. I also shared for my friends many photos taking in Beijing. The food was wonderful with reasonable prices, and we enjoyed several local dish.It is such great hotel that I would recommend it to any friend of me who is going to Beijing.（14）Dear Diana,Thank you for the lovely day we have with you. It was so kind for you to let us bring Anne's friend, Gina. Unfortunate, the only problem was the journey home. There had been a terrible accident on the highway and, for a result, there was a long line of traffic for at least six mile. In the end, we drove to a service station and waited there unless the road was clear. In the park here Gina nearly got knocked over as car drove out far too quickly from behind a lorry. They finally dropped Gina off at her parents' and made our own way to home.Li Hua（15）You can not imagine what a dream I had last night. I dreamed that I took part in a race. At first, I could not to run very fast and fell behind. So I didn't lose heart and kept run. All the students on the playground cheer me on, "Come on! "I was so encouraged that I ran faster and fast till I caught up all the other runners. I felt as if I were flying like a superman. In an end, I got to the finishing line first. I won the race. I felt very proudly of myself. Many of my classmate threw me up into the air. Just at that time，I woke up and found me still in bed!（16）It has been half a year after we parted. How I miss you all! It is you who always accompanied with me when l was homesick. It was very kind of you to make me feel at home and cooked such delicious food for me.Last night I had a dream. It was like this: I'm delighted to learn that you' re coming to travel in China and you need a English guide. I eager to get round China with you but I have to prepare me for the coming National Speech Contest. It is so a good chance that I can't afford to miss it. Feeling sweet and bitterly，I can't help crying.So, why not come to visit China one day? I really look forward to be your guide.（17）I was a newly qualified foot-health practitioner（执业者）. One day I was in the phone to a female patient recently, go over the details of an appointment. I careful wrote down her address, phone number and the set time in case of I forgot. We were just finished the conversation when she said, “I hope you don’tmind, so I have a rather strange question.” “of course” I reply.“ Go right ahead.” “Well,” said a lady nervously, “I was wondering if they of fered discounts because I only have one le g.” Feeling that the lady extremely serious, I said yes without hesitation.（18）Li Ming and Wang Ying are two student of Senior Three. They both work hard but they have similar learning methods. Li Ming often sleeps in class instead of listen to the teachers. As result, he misses lots of points that the teachers make and it usually takes him more time to finish his homework. So he has to stay up lately and doesn't get enough sleep. However, Wang Ying has quite a different way of learning. She listens attentively and tries to catch everything which the teachers say in class. Because of this, she spends more time doing her homework, which makes it possible for her go to bed early. In my opinion, Wang Ying learns more effective in class and has more free time to enjoy herself, so I prefer to her learning method.（19）My dream school starts at 8:30 a.m. and ends at 3:30 p.m. They are three lessons in the morning and two in the afternoon. We didn’t need to do so many home work. Therefore, we have more time with after-school activities. For example, we can do reading for one and a half hour and play sport for one hour every day.My dream school look like a big garden. There are all kinds of the flowers and trees around the classroom buildings. We can lie on the grass for a rest, or sat by the lake listening music. The teachers here are kind and helpfully. They are not only our teachers but also our friends.（20）I hardly remember my grandmother. She used to holding me on her knees and sing old songs. I was only four when she passes away. She is just a distant memory for me now.I remember my grandfather very much. He was tall, with broad shoulder and a beard that turned from black toward gray over the years. He had a deep voice, which set himself apart from others in our small town, he was strong and powerful. In a fact, he even scared my classmates away during they came over to play or do homework with me. However, he was the gentlest man I have never known.（21）When I walked into the classroom, the teacher was handing in the tests. I was feeling very nervous. I hadstudied at all at the weekend as I had thought it would be easy test. I went through the test for many times but I could only answer three out from the twenty questions. I did not want to fail the exam. Then, I put my book under my desk, opening it and started looking for the answer. The teacher wasn't looking at me, but I copied something. Suddenly, I felt a hand on my shoulder! The teacher caught me cheating. I don't know what to say. Luckily, the teacher did not punish for cheating but instead gave me a second chance.（22）I have a good friend who’s name is Liu Mei. She is our monitor and one of the excellent students in our class.

She stopped look out of the window and find a cloud of smoke coming out of her neig hbor’s house .She called 119 immediate. Ten minutes later, the firemen came and put out fire. Her neighbor was very thankful for her help.（23）Once a king asked an artist to paint a picture by him. He told t he artist he didn’t want to any sha dows in pic ture, just sunshine. When the king saw the finish picture, he was disappointed. Without shadows, everything in the picture looked flat or unreal. The point of the story was that we need both shadows and sunshine to have a completely picture, just as we need both rain and sun to have a living world. People, too, needs both sadness and happiness. We often learn important lesson during sad times. So when we feel sad, we should try to think about that we might learn from the experience.（24）I went to the Summer Palace last week.At the gate I happened to meet some American tourists.I greeted to them in English and then we began to chat.I got know that they were college students traveling in China.Most of them were fond with Chinese medicine.They are busy taking pictures and were much impressed with the changes that had been taken place in the past few years.After that, we went boating on a lake and having a good time.We exchanged our email address so that we could write to each other in the future.They thanked us again and again.I was very glad to have chance to practicing my oral English..（25）I first met Li Meng at a friend birthday party five years ago. Then I invited Li Meng over in my place. We listen to my CDstogether and soon became good friends. Three years ago, Li Meng’s parents invited I to spend a couple of wonderful week in Qingdao with them during the summer holiday. Li Meng and I loved walking along the beautifully beaches there.

Several days ago, my neighbor ate a bag of food buying from the market．After the meal, they had stomachaches and their faces turn pale.Fortunate, one of their friends found the accident and immediately called an ambulance, which carried them quickly to a hospital．After several hours' treatment they finally escaped with death．As some illegal businessmen only interested in making profits to become rich quickly, we seldom care about the necessary safety measures．Nor do they care about which happens to consumers．They shall be charged bylaw．Meanwhile, I do hope whole society can realize the important of food safety and begin taking action together to make sure food is safe.Li Hua（28）Manager,I am an exchange student from China. Yesterday, I went to your cinema to see a film. The film was very well, but I did not enjoy it because there were some problem in the cinema.First, the film was delayed as there were so much advertisements at the beginning. It was rather annoyed. Second, the sound of the film was too loud that I could hardly bear. The EXIT signs could not be seen clearly, which presented potential safety problems. If something terribly should happen, it will be difficult for people to get out quickly.As a visitor to your city, I’m disappointed with my experience in your cinema. I am writing a letter in the hope that you can consider on these problems and make some improvements.Yours faithfully,Li Hua（29）Dear Jim,I'd like to tell you something more about our school sports meet.
