    When I was a middle school student, I studied at a small school in a town. I always easily ranked among the top three in my class, perhaps due to the school's simple curriculum, or the lack of tough competition. But once I entered the city's best high school, things changed. I needed to study ten subjects at the same time and most of my classmates were very smart. I didn't realize how difficult circumstances would be. I felt, too, like I was drowning in sadness, having been separated from old friends. When eventually I got a very bad grade, it served as a wake-up call: I realized that a lot had changed, and I that I, too, would have to adapt. I needed to improve my grades, and so I immediately set some goals and made a plan. I studied hard and worked to find a new learning method which would better suit me. What's more, I got to know my classmates during our leisure time, in an effort to make new friends. All of this proved very effective. When I graduated from high school, I had achieved the second highest grade in my class, and had made a lot of friends. In our lives, we will encounter a variety of changes and challenges, and the best way to meet with them is always by endeavoring to improve ourselves.

     

    Your composition was very good! I have made mostly stylistic & word choice changes, to make it sound a bit more "native". Keep up the good work!

     

    你写的非常好!大多数的变化只是我自己喜好的风格变体,一点儿更地道的。真不错吧!加油!

    It is so hard to get along with people around me!

     

    It is so hard to get along with people around me! When I calm down and look at the people who should be on my side, I find that they always talk one way, but act another. Though I always try to repair our relationships, it doesn't work. I often don't even know what I've done wrong. Now, though, I feel tired, I don't want to do anything. The only good feeling I have during these days is knowing that I still have a real friend. Even if there is only one, that's enough!

    "I have been to the mountaintop..." 离我的家不远有一条山脉。比其他的山脉一点矮,但我觉得还是非常漂亮。平时一年一次我和一个朋友一起喜欢去那里爬山。上山的小路不容易走。它是泥土的,也有很多大石头。而且它快改变越陡。有一个山顶是特别难爬。 它叫《黑头》 (Blackhead)。不过,从这个山顶的风光是惊人的。之下的山谷很开阔,你可以看到许多公里。

    Snowman

     

    A few days ago, it was still very cold at my place. It was sunny, too, so my cousin and I made this snowman. Do you like it? Do you like winter or snow?

    Finding My Own Writing Style

    In secondary school, high quality works and select examples serve to guide the development of children’s writing styles. I personally remember, during those years, really appreciating the writing of a fellow student, which flowed exquisitely from line to line, and always managed to win the applause of our teacher and classmates. To be honest, I was a little envious of her. I tried several times to imitate her writing style, even reading additional writings with a similar style, but I failed nevertheless. I found it really hard to concentrate on my own writing, which I had just loaded with superfluous "graceful" phrases and imaginary stories. I was so focused on wording that my thoughts became muddled. I grew frustrated with the low marks I was receiving, and was at a loss for what to do. I did some stupid things, too, like copying the words of others' work, which, though initially meaning high marks, inevitably led to even deeper embarrassment.

    However, in college, I wrote an essay about internet addiction among users of Twitter, which really stimulated my confidence in my own writing style. In college, I was really crazy about surfing Twitter, tweeting every experiences from my daily life, plus commenting on current affairs or entertainment news. By coincidence at that very time a teacher asked us to write a psychological essay on the subject of internet addiction. Naturally, I selected the topic "Internet Addiction Among the Users of Twitter", which was quite a familiar subject to me personally. What's more, through that assignment I was able not only to analyze the behavior of others, but also to take a hard look at myself. I found it extremely interesting. After surveying nearly 20 subjects who had been indulging in the use of Twitter, over the course of approximately a month, I was able to finish my essay, and received a score of 92 out of 100! I was really happy, because not only was it a high mark, but it proved that I really was capable of producing quality writing, and it helped me to learn more about myself along the way.

    Through this writing experience I really learned something. Writing does not come from imagination - it must be based on materials, and your experiences are the best materials you have, because only real events can truly touch your readers, and only by basing your writing on real things can you find inspiration for writing.
