05Books书籍
As is well known, books teach us to learn life, truth, science and many other useful things. They increase our knowledge, broaden our minds and strengthen our character. In other words, they are our good teachers and wise friends. This is the reason why our parents always encourage us to read more books.
Reading is a good thing, but we must pay great attention to the choice of books. It is true that we can derive benefits from good books. However, bad books will do us more harm than good.
众所周知，书籍教我们学习人生，真理，科学以及其它许多有用的东西。它们增加我们的知识，扩大我们的心胸并加强我们的品格。换句话说，它们是我们的良师益友。这是我们的父母总是鼓励我们要多读书的理由。
 

读书是一好事，但我们必须多注意书的选择。不错，我们能从好书中获得益处。然而，坏书却对我们有害无益。

06The Value Of Time爱惜时光

An English proverb says that time is money. I consider it/this wrong. Why? Because we all know that we can earn money by work but can not get back time in any way. For this reason, we may/can say that time is more valuable than money.
Many people do not know the value of time. It/this is indeed a great pity. We must bear/keep in mind that wasting time is equal to wasting your life.
英语中有句谚语说，时间就是金钱。我认为这是不对的。为什么？因为我们大家都知道我们能够通过工作赚钱，但无论如何却无法把时间争取回来。基于此种理由，我们可以说时间比金钱更宝贵。许多人不知爱惜时光。这确实是可惜的。我们必须记住浪费时间等于浪费生命。

07How To Spend Sundays如何度过星期日
Some of us always spend Sundays aimlessly. We can seldom derive profits from the valuable time of Sundays. This is indeed a great pity. Though Sundays are set aside as a day for rest, we must make good use of them. We know that our school lessons are usually not sufficient. We should often utilize Sundays to read reference books. Only in this way, will we increase our knowledge. Besides, we must be engaged in sports or outing so as to strengthen our bodies.
我们许多人总是把星期日毫无目的地消度掉。这确实是十分可惜。我们很少能从星期日的宝贵时光中获得益处。虽然星期日是被指定为一个休息的日子，但是我们却应好好利用它。我们知道我们学校的功课通常是不够的。我们应时常利用星期日来阅读参考书。如此我们的知识就会增加了。此外，我们必须从事运动或郊游以便强壮我们的身体。

08Honesty Is The Best Policy诚为上策

There is an English proverb which says, “Honesty is the best policy.” It signifies the importance of honesty.
What are the benefits of honesty? If you are honest to others, they will be honest to you in return. When you are sad, they will comfort you. When you are in trouble, they will help you.
There is no enumerating the evils of dishonesty here. In a word, a dishonest man will be looked down upon by others and (be) regarded as a public enemy.
英国有一句谚语说“诚为上策”。它说明了诚实的重要性。
诚实的益处是什么？如果你对他人诚实，他们也会对你诚实作为报答。当你忧伤的时候，他们会安慰你。当你是处在困难中的时候，他们会帮助你。
无法在这里数述不诚实的害处。一言以蔽之，一个不诚实的人会被人看轻的而且被看作一个公敌。

09How Exercise Helps 运动的利益
If our bodies are not strong, our spirit to do things will certainly be quite dull. And at the same time, we are lack of energy to study. Diseases will only attack the weak, but not the strong.
Why are our bodies not strong? Because we do not pay attention to exercise. For this reason, we students must often take different kinds/sorts of exercise in the gym.
Exercise helps us (to) strengthen our bodies and avoid disease. It also teaches us cooperation, for most exercise is played by team.
如果我们的身体不强壮，我们做事的精神一定会十分迟钝。而且同时，我们也缺少足够的精力来读书。疾病只会侵击体弱的人而不是强壮的人。

为什么我们的身体会不强壮呢？因为我们不注意运动。基于此种理由，我们学生必须时常在运动场做不同种类的运动。

运动帮助我们强壮身体并避免疾病。它也教我们合作，因为大多数的运动都是团体游玩的。

10The Benefits Of Traveling 旅行的益处

I am always interested in traveling. My reasons are quite/extremely clear. If anybody is not satisfied with my viewpoint(s), I shall be greatly surprised at his ways of thinking.
In the first place, traveling increases our knowledge. Only by traveling can we see things outside our home town.
In the second place, traveling is good to our health. While we are traveling, we usually exercise our bodies.
In conclusion, I earnestly hope that everybody must seize/grasp at the opportunity of traveling.
我对旅行总是感觉有趣。我的理由非常简单明了。如果任何人对我的观点不满意的话，我将对他的想法大大吃惊。
旅行增加我们的知识。只有借旅行我们才可以看到我们故乡以外的东西。
旅行对我们的健康有益。当我们旅行的时候，我们通常运动我们的身体。
总之，我衷心希望每个人抓住机会旅行。

11How To Be A Good Citizen如何做一个好公民
My aim is to become a good citizen so as to be able to render service to the/my country. However, to become a good citizen is not an easy thing. He has many duties to fulfill. The first duty of a good citizen is to love his country. He is to /must be ready to sacrifice even his own life for the country. His second duty is to obey the law and help the government (to) maintain order. If everybody can do so, the country will be rich and strong/powerful.
我的志向是做一个好公民以便能给国家效力。然而，做一个好公民不是一件容易的事情。他有许多责任要尽。一个好公民第一件责任是爱他的国家。他须准备为国家牺牲自己的生命。他第二件责任是服从法律并且帮助政府维持治安。如果人人都能这样做的话，国家必定富强。
 

12The Importance Of Education教育的重要性
It is impossible for us to make our country rich and strong without developing education. Why? Because education gives people knowledge and teaches them how to become good citizens so as to be able to serve their country. No wonder they say that education decides the progress, prosperity and civilization of a country. At present/Nowadays most countries in/of the world are enforcing compulsory education. It is necessary for all kinds of people, both rich and poor, to receive education.
我们不可能使我们的国家富强而不发展教育。为什么？因为教育给予人民知识并教他们如何成为好公民以便能为国家效力。难怪，有人说教育决定一个国家的进步，繁荣与文化。现在世界大多数的国家都在实施义务教育。所有各类人不论贫富都必须接受教育。

13Industry (Diligence)勤勉
It is a matter of course that industry will bring us success, wealth and good luck. I am sure that a hard-working person can always succeed in the work which he wants to do. This is unchangeable truth.
Idleness is the opposite of industry. It is the source of all evil. An idle man only enjoys playing and making pleasures. That he is doomed to failure is of no doubt. We should not follow his example.
勤勉会给我们带来成功、财富和好运是理所当然的事。我相信一个努力工作的人总能在他想做的工作上取得成功。这是不可改变的真理。
懒惰是勤勉的反面。它是万恶之源泉。一个懒惰的人只享受玩耍和寻乐。他命中注定失败是毫无疑问的。我们不应以他为榜样。

14Factors Of Success成功的要素
I would rather suffer hardships than fail. In other words, to achieve success is my only desire. We all know that there are many factors of success. Now let me write down the most important ones in the following.Diligence—Foolish as a person is, he can succeed in his work if he works hard. That does not admit of any doubt.Perseverance—When you fail, don’t lose heart. Keep on working until you accomplish your aim.Honesty—If you tell lies or does not keep your words, no one will rely on you. I would rather be scolded than cheat (others).
我宁愿受苦难不愿失败。换句话说，获得成功是我唯一的愿望。我们大家知道成功要素很多。现在让我们把最重要的写在下面。
勤奋——尽管一个人很愚蠢，但如果他努力工作，他能在工作上取得成功。那是不容置疑的。
毅力――当你失败的时候，不要灰心。要继续工作，直到你达到目的为止。
诚实――如果你说谎或不守信，没有人会信赖你。我宁愿被责骂也不愿欺骗人。

15War战争
Though the people in the world are all opposed to war, they can by no means avoid it. This is indeed a regrettable thing.
War is very terrible. Everybody hears it with fear. In a war thousands and thousands of lives will be lost and a large amount of money (will be) wasted. It brings us untold miseries and damage.
To sum up, so long as war is unavoidable, human beings cannot enjoy lasting peace. How tragical their fate is!
虽然世界人民都反对战争，但是他们却无法避免它。这确实是件非常令人遗憾的事情。
战争是非常可怕的。每个人听到它都害怕。在一次战争中，成千成万的人丧失了生命，大量金钱浪费了。它带给我们无穷尽的痛苦和损失。
总而言之，只要战争不可避免，人类不可能享受持久的和平。他们的命运是多么悲惨呀！

16Good Health健康状况良好
We all wish/hope to be happy, so we should take good care of our health.
Health is the best treasure (which/that) a man can possess. Money can do many things, but it cannot buy happiness. However, so long as man has good health, he can enjoy the pleasures of human life.
In order to insure good health we must pay attention to three things. They are nourishing food, fresh air and proper exercise.
我们大家都希望快乐，所以我们应该好好保持健康。一个病人因为失去健康而很少快乐。
健康是一个人所能拥有最好的财富。钱能做许多事情，但是它却不能购买健康。然而，只要一个人健康状况良好，他就能享受人生的乐趣。

为了保证良好的健康状况，我们必须注意三件事情。它们是营养的食物，新鲜的空气和正当的运动。

17How I Spent My Summer Vacation我如何度过暑假
No sooner had the summer vacation begun than I returned to my home town. Of course I must make good use of it; otherwise I would incur the displeasure of my parents.
In the morning, I reviewed my lessons and read newspapers or magazines. In the afternoon, I played ball games with my friends or went fishing in the river. At night, I watched television with my family. Hardly had the clock on the wall struck ten when I went to bed.
暑假刚一开始，我就回故乡了。自然我须好好利用它，否则我会招致父母的不快。
早晨我复习功课并阅读报纸或杂志。下午我和朋友打球，或去河中钓鱼。晚上我就和家人看看电视。墙上的钟刚指向10点，我就去睡觉了。

18Choosing Friends选择朋友
A man who is careful in choosing friends will certainly derive benefit from them. Why? Because there are more false friends than real ones in this world. To have one real friend is better than a hundred false ones. Friends who flatter you to your face are not true friends.
We must make friends with those who have good character and kindness of heart. On the other hand, we should do our best to avoid keeping company with bad people.
一个谨慎选择朋友的人一定会从他们那里获得益处。为什么？因为在这个世界上假朋友比真朋友要多。有一个真朋友要比有一百个假朋友来得好。当面奉承你的朋友未必是真朋友。
我们必须和具有良好品格和心地善良的人交朋友。反过来说，我们应尽力避免结交品行差的人。

19Thrift节俭
There is not a/no thrifty man but becomes a rich man sooner or later. Why? Because he will not spend such money as is unnecessary. Little by little his money will accumulate. Ten to one, he is bound to make a fortune. I do not like such men as spend their money in a wrong way. They do not know extravagance is a bad thing. It can only make them happy for the time being. In short, thrift makes poor men rich and extravagance makes rich men poor.
一个节俭的人迟早成为一个富翁。为什么？因为他决不花那种不必要的钱。渐渐他的钱就会聚积起来。十之八九，他一定会发财的。我不喜欢那种乱花钱的人。他们不知道奢侈是一件坏事。它只能够使他们暂时快乐而已。总而言之，节俭使穷人变富，奢侈使富人变穷。

20Perseverance毅力
Needless to say, nothing but perseverance can lead a man to the way of success. In other words, a persevering man never does his work without succeeding in it. This is indeed unchangeable truth. Our National Father, Dr. Sun Yat-Sen, is the most ideal example. He was devoted to the revolution about forty years. He met with many failures, but he was anything but discouraged. As a result, he won. The Republic of China was born.
不需说，只有毅力才能引导人迈向成功之途。换句话说，一个具有毅力的人做工作总是会把它做成功的。这真是不易之定理也。我们国父孙中山先生是一个最理想的例子。致力国民革命四十年。他遭遇到许多次的失败，但是他决不灰心。最终，他赢了。中华民国诞生了。

21Where There Is A Will, There Is A Way有志者，事竟成
The secret of success/The key to success is not so much money as a strong will. A great man is one who has a strong will and an indomitable spirit. In other words, if a man does not have a strong will to win/get the final victory, he will never succeed in his life. He is no more than a failure. It is quite obvious that there is no difficult thing/nothing difficult in the world. If you make up your mind to do it, you will certainly accomplish your end. That stands to reason.
成功的要诀不是金钱而是一个坚强的意志。一个大人物是一个具有坚强意志和不屈不挠精神的人。换句话说，如果一个人没有坚强意志去获得最后胜利，他终其一生都不会成功。他只不过是一个失败者。很明显，世界上并没有难事。如果你下定决心去做它，你一定会达到目的。那是显而易见的。

22My Aim我的志向
Whatever a man’s status is/may be, he must have an aim. If not, he can hardly stand on his own two feet in the world. That stands to reason. However important fame and wealth may be, we must not let them become our object in life. We should aim at doing something useful to the society. If my aim can come true, I hope/wish to be a teacher. However, teaching is by no means an easy thing. I must apply myself closely to my studies so as to be able to cope with my duties (as a teacher).
不论是什么身份的人，他必须有一个志向。如果没有的话，他很难立足于世上。那是显而易见的。不论名利如何重要，我们切不可让它们成为我们生活之目标。我们应当志在做一些对社会有益的事情。如果我的志向能实现的话，我就希望成为一个老师。然而，教书并不是一容易的事情。我必须专心学业以便能应因我的职责。

23Protect our environment保护环境
As we all know, the environment  around us is getting worse and worse. In some places we can’t see fish swimming in the river or trees on the hills. Some people even have no clean water to drink. So I think we must do something to protect our environment. But what can we do? How to protect our environment?In fact, there are many things we can do. Firstly, we can go to school on foot or by bike and don’t throw rubbish everywhere. Secondly, we can use shopping baskets but not plastic bags when we go shopping. Last but not least, we can use both sides of the paper when we write. In a word, if everyone pays more attention to our environment, there will be less pollution and our life will be better. “There is only one earth”, we should act at once. I hope everyone will protect our environment well.
我们都知道，我们周围的环境正变得越来越差。在一些地方，我们看不见河里的鱼和山上的树。一些人甚至没有干净的水喝。所以我想我们必须做些事来保护我们的环境。但是我们能做什么呢？怎么样保护我们的环境呢？
事实上，有很多我们可以做的事。首先，我们可以步行或骑车上学，不要乱扔垃圾。其次，当我们去购物的时候，我们应当使用购物篮，而不是塑料袋。最后，当我们书写的时候，我们可以使用纸的两面。总之，如果每个人都能更加注意我们的环境，污染就会更少，我们的生活就会更好。“只有一个地球。”我们应该立刻行动起来。我希望每个人都将能很好地保护我们的环境。

24Time Is Money时间就是金钱
 “Time is money.” This saying means that time is very valuable.But time is more valuable than money. The money we have lost can be gained again, but the time we have wasted cannot be regained. Moreover, sometimes persons can exist without money, but nothing can be done without time, just as no one can live without air.Despite being so valuable, time is often neglected by men. Since time is an invisible thing, men often waste their time unconsciously. Without anything to do, they may gossip from morning till night.Man usually can live only at most to about 100 years. It seems fairly long, but in fact it is rather short. We often say “How quickly time flies!” How many things can a man accomplish in such a short period? Hence we should use the valuable time properly to do our work. We will race with it. We will study and work hard. Never waste a little bit of it.
 “时间就是金钱。” 这句话意思是说时间是很珍贵的。
但是时间比金钱更加珍贵。我们丢失的钱可以再获得，但是我们浪费的时间再也不能重新获得。而且，有时候没有钱人可以生存，但是没有时间什么都做不了，就像没有空气没有人能活。
尽管时间是如此珍贵，但是时间还是经常被人们忽视。因为时间是一样看不见的东西，人们经常无意识地浪费他们的时间。无事可做，他们可能从早到晚流言蜚语。
人类通常最多可以活到100多岁。这似乎相当长，但事实上这是相当短暂的。我们经常说“时间过得飞快！” 在如此一段短暂的时段内一个人能完成多少事情呢？因此，我们应该恰当地利用这珍贵的时间去做我们的工作。我们将和时间赛跑。我们将努力学习努力工作。永远不浪费一点点时间。
