It is Sunday. The Turners are free and they are staying at home .They are ding different kinds of things. Mr Turner is mending his car. Mrs Turener is sitting at the table . She is drinking. Bob is talking on the phone . Nancy is sitting near the pool. She is watching the dog swimming. They are having a good time .

As we all know， \'Failure is the mother of success。\' But I just want to say\'Success is the baby of confidence。\'

First of all， confidence makes us happier in our life。 Life is like a wonderful song， a bright and colorful painting。 If confidence is with us in our life， we will find that life really becomes richer and more interesting。

Then， confidence makes us brave and courageous。 If we lack confidence in ourselves， how can we overcome difficulties we meet with? If we have no confideuce in ourselves， how can we succeed in developing ourselves in the future?Without confidence， nothing can be accomplished。 That is to say， if you want to win， you have to believe in yourself。

Finally， I would like to use the following words as our mutual encouragement:\'If you think you can， you can。\'

Once upon a time there was a farmer who worked hard in the fields every day。One day， while he was ploughing the fields， he heard a bumping sound。

He saw a rabbit lying by the trunk。 He picked it up and found that it was a fat rabbit。 He thought to himself，"Since it is so easy to get a rabbit like that， why should I work so hard all daylong?\'! He threw his hoe away and lay by the tree every day， dreaming for more rabbits to come。 When he finally realized his foolishness and returned to his fields， he found that all his crops were dead。

The story tells us that we should not wait for unexpected gains by trusting chance and luck。 Or， we should not hope to get rewards without hard work。

It’s the time of spring， but spring hasn’t come yet。 The wind is still so cold， without even a little warmth。

What does spring mean? I walk slowly on the way。 I don’t expect any plant can grow in such a cold spring。 Suddenly， something on the rode side attracts my attention。 I take a closer look at it。 I find a grass。 I say to myself: In such a cold spring， you see grass and you see hope。 I always think grass is puny。 But， it’s at that moment when I saw the weak but green grass beside the rode that I realize how strong life is。

There’re always many difficulties in our life too。 They are like the cold spring。 We should never fear them。 If we do our best， we can overcome the difficulties。

When I take another look at the grass， it seems much greener……

Xiao Hua and Xiao Hong attend “the English Corner”in the People\'s Park regularly every Sunday。

Last week， they happened to meet two American students。 They started talking about sports they do in their spare time， but when Xiao Hua spoke of “Jian”， she didn\'t know the English word for “Jian。”Anyway she made her explanation like this: “Jian”is made of such materials as copper coins or metal coins wrapped up with a piece of cloth with feathers of cock in it， it can be kicked in various ways and struck to and from across a net in a game。 If， in case， you drop the“Jian” onto the ground， you\'ll fail。 “Jian is very popular among the Chinese people both as recreation and sports。

How to make friends
It’s hard to make friends if you stay alone all the time. It’s easier to make friends when you have similar interests.
Don’t be afraid to show people what you are really good at. Talk about the things you like and do best.
Look at people in the eyes when you talk to them.
Be a good listener. Let people talk about themselves before talking about yourself.
Be friendly to a lot of people. Try to help your friends when they are in trouble because a friend in need is a friend indeed. That way you’ll have a bigger group to choose from and have more chances to make friends.

　　I have a brother. He is four years older than me. Now he is fifteen years old， and he is a student of Grade Nine. He is tall and handsome. His classmates like playing with him. He works hard in study. His teachers speak highly of him. Besides， basketball and running are his favorites.He is good at sports. He cares much about me. When I meet difficulties in study， he always helps me. I love my brother.

　　我有一个哥哥，他比我大四岁。他近年十五岁了，是一名初三年级学生。他高大帅气，他的同学都喜欢和他玩。他学习很努力，老师对他的评价很高。此外，篮球和跑步是他的爱好。他擅长运动。他很关心我，当我学习上遇到困难的时候，他总是帮助我。我爱我的哥哥。

　　I have a lovely dog. Its name is YoYo. I like it very much. It has two big ears， two big and bright eyes. Its hair is brown. It has come to my home for a year. It has become a part of my family. It has its own house， but it likes to sleep under my bed， play in my house. I like talking to it， because it's a friend worth of trusting. I would like to share my happy things with it. When I am sad， talking to it makes me feel good. I am happy to have such a lovely friend.

　　我有一只可爱的小狗，它的名字叫悠悠，我很喜欢它。它有两只大耳朵，两只明亮的大眼睛。它的毛是棕色的。它来我家已经有一年了。它成为了我家的一部分。它有自己的房子，但是它喜欢睡在我的床底下，在我的房间玩。我很喜欢和它聊天，因为我觉得它是一个值得信赖的朋友。我喜欢和它分享开心的事。当我难过的时候，和它聊天使我感觉舒服。我很高兴有这样一个可爱的朋友。

　　I love my Chinese teacher.Her name is Lui Xiaohong. She is from Nanchang. She’s very active and strict. She has two big and bright eyes. She’s very nice.She is short and thin. She is always smiling. I don’t know what season is her favourite. Because I don’t know her very well. Her class is very funny， I love it very much.

　　我爱我的语文老师，她的名字叫刘晓红来自南昌。她很积极也很严厉，她有一双又大又亮的眼睛。她人很好，很瘦小。她总是面带微笑。我不知道她最喜欢的季节是哪一个，因为我对她还不是很了解。她的课很有趣，我很喜欢她的课。

　　My deskmate is Nancy. She is a lovely girl. We are deskmates and friends. Nancy is a new student of my class. She comes to my class only two weeks. My teacher let her sit near me. At first， I didn't like her， because she was quiet. But， as time goes by， we become familiar to each other. I introduce my teachers and classmates to her. I am so happy， because I can help her something.

　　我的同桌叫南希，她是个可爱的女孩。我们是同桌也是朋友。南希是我们班的新生，来我们班只有两个星期。老师让她坐在我旁边。刚开始，我不喜欢她因为她很文静。但是，随着时间的流逝，我们相互熟悉了。我向她介绍我的老师和同学。我很开心，因为我可以帮到她。

　　Spring Festival is my favorite among all the Chinese traditional festival. The first reason why I love it the most is because I can get lucky money on that festival. It is the Chinese custom that the old will give children lucky money on Spring Festival to wish a good luck for the young generation. Moreover， people everywhere on those days are full of happiness. Quarrel， fight and abuse are almost disappeared at that time. Meanwhile， my mother will make a big meal for us to celebrate. Everyone will forget the unhappy thing they meet， instead remembering to appreciate life to wish a better future. That is my favorite festival.

　　春节是中国传统节日中我最喜欢。我最喜欢它的第一个原因是因为我可以得到压岁钱。老人会在春节给孩子们压岁钱来祈祷年轻一代能有好运气是中国习俗。此外，在那段时间里到处都充满着快乐。争吵，打架和辱骂几乎都听不到了。而且我妈妈会给我们做一顿大餐来庆祝。每个人都忘记了那些不开心的事，而是记住了感激生活，希望一个更美好的未来。这就是我最喜欢的节日。

What puzzles you is actually a puzzle for many parents in China . My idea is that it is quite right for you to do so .

Although high grades are an important factor in evaluating students and for their future university admission , development in wisdom emotion ,health and life attitude should never be ignored . There are many examples around us . Some all—A students in school have turned out not to be as successful in society as they were expected. The reason is often that the pressure from their parents allows them almost no time for other activities . Furthermore , punishment is by no means a wise choice to help them grow up mentally and physically .

So I suggest that you take your friends’ advice . More importantly, let her live like a lovely girl ; let her have more friends and social activities ; and let her make mistakes of her own as we teenagers often do .

My father doesn't talk much. Though he is not funny, he loves me very much. Last week, he travelled for business and when he came home, he took out a box and brought me a nice present. I was so happy. He always remembered to bring me some surprises. It was a special notebook and I could use it to write diaries.

我爸爸话不多。虽然他不是有趣的人，但是他非常爱我。上周，他旅行出差，当他回家时，他拿出一个盒子，给我带了一个很棒的礼物。我很高兴，他总是记得给我惊喜。这是一本特别的笔记本，我可以用它来写日记。

我的英文老师长着圆圆的脸蛋，她高高的鼻梁上架着一副眼镜，眼镜下面藏着一双炯炯有神的大眼睛，她留着一头齐耳短发，看起来非常有精神。她姓王，但我们都喜欢叫她Anna。

Anna的课堂上，总是那样的活跃，在她的课堂上，我们一点都不觉得枯燥，蹦蹦跳跳，做着各种游戏，整个教室充满了欢声笑语，知识不知不觉就装进了脑海里。

Anna有一双会说话的眼睛，如果有人思想抛锚，老师就用她犀利的眼光瞪他一眼，使他的马上意识到错误，思想回到课堂上来。

Anna惩罚我们都是那么有意思。如果谁迟到，回答不上问题，或者进行游戏时输的组，让我们跳舞、做蹲起、做俯卧撑、学动物叫、展示各自的才艺、最有意思的是学蜘蛛侠趴在墙上，大家既受到了惩罚，又锻炼了身体，还让其他同学开心了一场，真是一举多得。

我喜欢Anna。
