During my winter vacation, I was very bored. Nothing seemed interesting, except for doing homework, watching TV or playing computer games. However, it was interesting at the last few days. I bought my lovely guitar. Whenever I felt bored, I could take it out and play it. My most favorite thing was this guitar. Let me sum up the vacation. More than half of a month has passed. I went to Qingyuan for Spring Festival and after coming back, I spent the few days left in my guitar world. How short this vacation was!
在寒假期间。我过得生活。十分乏味。除了写作业。看电视。玩电脑之外。貌似没有一点的乐趣。在最后几天的时候、到时很有趣。买了自己心爱的吉他。在无聊的时候可以拿出来弹奏。我最心爱的宝贝就是吉他了。总结了一下假期的情况。半个月快过了一点、。去了清远过年。然后回来的剩下几天。我就在吉他的世界里过了、这个寒假真短暂啊

　　第一篇：the newspaper 报 纸 
nowadays the newspaper possesses considerable value everybody should read it. it supplies us with a variety of news every day. it tells us the political situation of the world. if we form the habit of reading the newspaper, we shall (will) get enough knowledge to cope with our circumstances. 
现今报纸拥有极大的价值，人人都应该看它。它每天提供我们各种类类的消息。它告诉我们世界政治局势。如果我们养成看报的习惯，我们就能得到足够的知识来因应我们的环境。学生虽然每天须做功课，但他们至少应该匀出一两个小时来看报。哪些，他们不但能增加知识而且也能赶上时代。总而言之，看报对学生很有益处。

你价意被称为坏学生吗？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。

放学后，我就回家了。我们通常在七点钟吃晚餐，之后我就开始做家庭作业，希望在睡觉前把它做完。
