My New School 我的新学校
I have moved to my new school since Septmber. It is a modern and nice school which is in city. It has a playground, a library, several labs, classrooms with electronic equipment and so on. It's quite different from my old school. It's larger, much more modern. This is why I love my new school. If you are free, you are warmly welcomed to come to our school to have a look.
我已经搬到我的新学校，因为太远。这是一个现代和漂亮的学校，在市。它有一个操场，一个图书馆，几个实验室，教室与电子设备等。这是从我的老学校相当不同。这是更大的，更现代的。这就是为什么我爱我的新学校。如果你是自由的，热烈欢迎您来我们的学校去看看。
My View on School Education 学校教育之我见
some schools onlywant their students to study hard at their lessons but ignore the educating onstudents' ability of practice, communication and organization. These schools regardstudy as the most important thing but other abilities such as communicationskills, public-minded awareness, are not useful to them.
This idea is one-sided. We should take everything intoaccount in students' education. If a school has such an idea, it is not goodfor their students' future development. In the current society, people musthave an all-round ability to adapt to society. If not, students will find itdifficult to find a good job. Besides, book is not the only way to success. EQis sometimes more important than IQ. So students should develop such abilitiesas communication, organization, public relation, and creativity.
As far as I am concerned, on the one hand, it is importantfor us to study from books well and achieve excellent academic scores; on theother hand, it is more important to develop other skills. One should besociable and capable so that he can be socially useful.
有些学校只要学生努力学习他们的课程而忽略了对学生实践、沟通和组织能力的教育。这些学校把学习看作是最重要的，而其他能力，像沟通技巧和公众头脑意识则是没有用的。
这种想法是片面的。我们应该把一切都考虑到学生的教育中去。如果一个学校有这样的想法，这对学生的未来发展是不利的。在现在的社会，人们必须有全面的能力去适应社会。否则，学生们会觉得找工作很难。除此之外，书本不是通往成功的唯一道路。情商有时候比智商更重要。因此，学生们应该培养沟通，组织，公关以及创造能力。
在我看来，一方面，学好课本知识取得优异的学习小成绩固然重要；但另一方面，培养其他方面的能力更重要。每个人都应该成为善于交际和有能力，这样他才能成为对社会有用的人。
健康快乐学习措施 Healthy and happy learning measures
Dear Headmaster, I’m very glad to write a letter to you. These days we are talking about how to have a better school life. Here are some of my suggestions. First, I hope our school will open the library more often. Second, I think our school can organize more after-class activities. Next I hope our school will give us more time for sports, art and music. And I suggest our school should organize fewer exams as well. As for our teachers, I hope they will be our friends and make classes more interesting. And if they can talk less but more clearly in class, we will be more interested in studying and have more time to practice. What’s more, I hope they will give us less homework and finish classes on time. Hope my suggestions will be helpful. Thanks for reading my letter! Yours sincerely, Liu Bo
亲爱的校长，我很高兴给你写一封信。这几天我们在讨论如何更好地生活。以下是我的一些建议。首先，我希望我们的学校能更经常地打开图书馆。其次，我认为我们的学校可以举办更多的课外活动。下一步我希望我们学校能给我们更多的时间来进行体育、艺术和音乐。我建议我们的学校应该少组织考试。至于我们的老师，我希望他们会成为我们的朋友，使课程更有趣。如果他们能在课堂上讲得越来越少，我们会更感兴趣学习，并有更多的时间去练习。而且，我希望他们能给我们更少的作业和按时完成课程。希望我的建议会有所帮助。谢谢你看我的信！你的真诚，刘博
大学生是否应自行选课 Whether college students should be on their own course
Some people think that university students should be able to choose whether to go to classes or not. I could not disagree more with this idea. Even though students can have excused absences, for example, when they are sick or have something emergent to attend, generally they should be required to go to classes. In fact, attending classes has many advantages, three of them most important: learning from the teacher, interacting with classmates, and developing responsibility. Attending classes has the benefit of receiving the best that a teacher can offer. Good teachers review the difficult and key pints of the material in the course textbook. The best teachers do more than this. They conduct group discussion of the material, and present alternative points of view on the same issue. This increases students' real understanding and critical thinking. Moreover, teachers supplement the textbook material with information provide by guest speakers, which further enhances students' understanding. All this implies that, if students are absent from class, it is tantamount to forfeiting their right to full benefits of teacher-guided learning in class.
有些人认为大学生应该能够选择是否去上课。我就更不可能不同意这一观点。尽管学生可以原谅缺席,例如,当他们生病或有紧急的事情要参加,一般他们应该被要求去上课。事实上,上课有很多优势,其中三个最重要的是:向老师学习,和同学们交流,发展的责任。上课的接受老师所能提供最好的。好教师评审材料的困难和关键品脱的教科书。最好的老师比这做得更多。他们进行小组讨论的材料,现在选择在同一问题上的观点。这增加学生的真正理解和批判性思维。此外,教师的补充教材与嘉宾提供的信息材料,进一步提高学生的理解。所有这一切意味着,如果从类学生缺席,这等同于丧失他们的全部好处的新型学习在课堂上。
Going to classes also helps students learn how to work with their classmates. In class, students need to put forward their ideas. They have to take questions from their classmates and when their classmates have a different point of view, they have to defend their own. All this is conducted in a friendly manner. Interaction of this kind teaches students about how to work with other people. Finally, going to classes enables students to develop responsibility. Having to finish all the assigned readings before class helps prepare them for getting a job. So does the requirement of being punctual for class. Similarly, having to complete assignment on time for class helps them to foster responsibility. Admittedly, students can obtain information from books, but they benefit a great deal more when they go to classes. They have the advantage of learning from their teacher, of interacting with other people, and of developing the responsibility required of a good worker as well as a good student. If these skills in life are in no sense optional, how can attending classes in a university be optional?
将类还可以帮助学生们学习如何与同学合作。在课堂上,学生需要提出自己的想法。他们需要提问同学,当同学有不同的观点,他们必须为自己辩护。这一切都是在友好的方式进行的。这种互动教学生如何与他人的工作。最后,将课程能让学生发展的责任。在上课前必须完成所有指定的阅读帮助他们为找工作做准备。准时上课的要求也是如此。同样,必须按时完成作业上课帮助他们培养的责任。诚然,学生可以从书本中获取信息,但是他们去时受益更多的类。他们从他们的老师学习的优点,与别人交流和发展所要求的责任好员工以及一个好学生。如果这些技能在生活中没有意义可选的,怎么能参加大学课程是可选的?
A model student 模范学生
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.
你介意被称为坏学生吗？当然不。就我所知，每个人都打算做模范学生。
然而，做模范学生却不容易。第一，他必须尽力获得知识（求知）。一个没有足够知识的人是不会成功的。第二，他必须记住促进健康。只有强壮的人才能做大事。第三，他应该接受道德教育。如果他品行不好，没有人会考虑和他交朋友的。
新学校的生活 New school life
Thanks for your last letter. Don’t worry about my new school life here. I’m fine here because I like my new school life. My new school life is busy but interesting. Every day I get to school at 7:00 am and go home at 4:30 pm. We have four classes in the morning and three classes in the afternoon. My favorite day is Thursday, because I have English and art that day. The two subjects are my favorite. But I don’t like math, because it’s difficult. At school, I also have a new friend, Zhang Qiang. He often helps me with math. After school, I often have art club with him.
谢谢你的最后一封信。不要担心我的新学校生活在这里。我在这里很好，因为我喜欢我的新学校生活。我的新学校生活忙碌而有趣。我每天早上7:00上学，下午4:30回家。我们上午有四节课，下午有三节课。我最喜欢的一天是星期四，因为那天我有英语和美术课。受试者是我最喜欢的。但我不喜欢数学，因为它很难。在学校，我也有一个新朋友，张蔷。他经常帮我学数学。放学后，我经常和他一起艺术俱乐部。
