Good-bye



浙江杭州市外国语学校初三年级 叶佳雯



Hi, my dear friends. You say good-bye every day, don't you? Yeah. Then have you ever thought about this word? It may sound too common for us to spend time and energy on. However, that's not true.


I didn't think about it until I was 13. That day when I saw my grandma shut eyes, I stood still. Saying good-bye in my heart, I suddenly realized I could never directly feel her love any longer.


Friends, as you can see, we shall say good-bye thousands of times in our lives. But how many of us can understand its mean-ing until the very last good-bye? How many can value the love from others until the last good-bye? And how many will realize these and feel sorry at the last good-bye?


So, when we're saying good-bye, keep in mind that every-body around will leave us some day. Let's value them and their love when they are still around.


Since my grandma's passing away, I have learnt more and more about GOOD-BYE in my life. Every morning my parents say good-bye as I'm going to school. This is one of their simplest ways to show me their love. Every afternoon my classmates and friends say good-bye at the moment I'm leaving for home. This is their easiest means to conclude the happy day we have been to-gether. When I'm walking out of a store, the shopkeeper says good-bye with a smile on the face. That warms my heart because I'm not neglected. If I'm getting out of a taxi, the driver says a friendly good-bye. That reminds me of kindness of others. In one word, love among people is clearly shown by saying GOOD-BYE.


I learned another meaning of GOOD-BYE on the last day of last semester. One of my friends, Maggie, was leaving for Canada. Most of her friends felt so sorry because they suddenly knew how far they would be from her. But at the moment we were told Maggie would come back in a year, I almost jumped out of my shoes. How nice! Most of the times a good-bye actually means in the near future we shall get together again.


We will say good-bye soon after the contest. I will not feel sad. I'll be looking forward to another get-together with you.

IDon'tWanttoTravelAlone



江苏苏州立达中学 肖炜



Well, travelling is fun to everyone, but I don't like to travel alone. Maybe someone here won't agree with me, but after my speech, you might change your mind.


About six years ago, once my parents sent me to an Ameri-can international camp in Cape Cod, Massachusetts. That was my first year in America. I didn't know why my parents sent me there. Maybe it was because my English skills didn't improve very fast that year. Maybe they wanted me to learn English in a better condition. I remember that day they put me on a camping bus and hugged me a quick good-bye and left. During the whole trip, I did nothing but look out of the window. There was no one talking to me. I saw other children laughing and playing happily, but I had no one to talk to because I didn't speak much English. On the half way ?I threw up. And I had to clean up all by myself. Oh, how I wish I had a friend with me!


After I got to camp, I felt little better because of the beauti-ful scenery there, the lake, the hills, and the forests'"all made me very happy. Our cabin was on one of the hills facing the lake. When I got to cabin there were already 5 people waiting for me there. Our counselor Jermmy was an American College student. The other four came from different places such as Spain, China, France and Japan. We all said "Hi .'"to each other. That was al-most the only word we said to each other that day, for most of us couldn't speak much English. As it was an international camp, our counselor and we five campers were living in the same cabin, named No. 2 Cabin.


My starting experience there was homesick. I was only a 9-year-old boy that time and was not used to the life without my parents. So I had sleepless nights. What made me feel worse was the tale told in the camp that there was a bandit named 3-finger Willy who had an ax and came out in the night killing campers who didn't follow the camp rules. I was even more scared. How-ever , I felt much better a week later when I got used to the life in the camp and when I knew everyone. Our counselor was a very nice guy and other campers were all friendly too. I began to enjoy my life in the camp. Every day we had many games there. We went swimming and played many ball games. After supper, we played hide-and-seek in the forest along the hills. We had a lot of fun.


Anyway, what I want to say here is "East and west, home is best. "Traveling is fun, but if you have a companion with you, then you'll have help and much more fun.


评语:


A writer is supposed to make it clear to his readers what he intends to appeal to them, to make them agree with him. And this requires the writer's ability in reasoning in addition to that in choosing and arranging the facts. In this passage we can see the writer is employing his personal experience which really supports his opinion in traveling alone. The writer is to some extent per-suasive and this passage can be taken as a good piece of work in considering the writer's ability in classifying facts and persuad-ing.

IHatetoBeTooFatorTooThin



浙江省衢州市二中初二年级 伍海伦



Look at me! I'm just fit in my medium size clothes. Thankful for that.


I hate to be as fat as a balloon, and dislike to be as thin as a bamboo. Isn't it just awful to see a "humpty-dumpty" and a stick standing side by side?


But usually, according to ancient Chinese custom, people think being fat means strong, so they encourage each other to get as fat as they could. When people meet each other, they used to say: "Hey guy, how lucky you are to have gained weight! You look much nicer than before! I hate hearing these words, espe-cially when they are said to me, because getting too fat doesn't mean healthy, but means danger; First of all, when there is too much fat in your body, it will squeeze and press your heart, and it would probably cause heart disease. Next, if there is too much fat in the vein, it would be easily stuffed or broken. Think about how terrible that will be! And you'll have other troubles in choosing XL size clothes, in running or jumping, etc. That's why nowadays young girls try to start a new diet and make themselves as slim as possible. But is getting too thin healthy? Of course not. I could tell you my own experience.


When I was very young I had only a bird stomach, refusing to eat enough food, and so I became so thin that my bones were jutting up and down under my skin. As a matter of fact, I was a frequent visitor to the hospital. When I learned it was because I didn't have enough food, so there were fewer helpful bacteria to protect my body from the invading virus, I forced myself to swal-low down more food and get into a fit size, and become healthy enough.


So, here I am, in a fit size, in my tit clothes. And I advise ev-erybody to keep fit, not to be too fat nor too thin, and keep healthy!

The topic was a unique and difficult one for junior middle school competitors. Helen, as a Grade Two student, made an ex-cellent speech on this topic and impressed the judges deeply. Her quick and cute answers to the judges also aroused great interest among audience, and they cheered and gave warm applause.

IHaveaDream



安徽省合肥市四十六中初中一年级 康



My dream is to become a teacher. And I have never changed my mind till today.


Well, when I was still a little girl in a kindergarten, I wished that I could become a teacher. This was mainly because I thought teacher was so powerful that every student had to obey her in-structions. And she could do whatever she wanted. She could drink coffee in the classroom, and go to the office whenever she liked. What's more, she could decide whether a student would get the little red flower every month, that's a kind of honour to show whether a student is good or not.


When I entered a primary school, I still have the same dream to become a teacher. For if I were a teacher, I would not have to prepare for any test or any examination, and I would not get smacked by my mother if I didn't do well. At that time, to be a teacher meant you would have a life without any worry.


Now, I'm a middle school student, but I still treasure the dream to be a teacher. As I am growing up, my reasons have be-come more meaningful. Now I think teachers are really the "engineers of human soul". They teach us a lot, not only knowledge but also how to be a good man of the society. Every year in our country thousands of teachers send millions of good students to various parts to work for our country, which helps to make our country stronger and stronger.


My dream is to be a teacher, and I'm sure, with my efforts, it will come true!
