    My Hometown I lived in a small town on the edge two cities, with a highway across it from the east to the west. It was so small tha a five-minute's drive would finish the trip of the town. It was quiet in the morning,only several dog barks could be heard. As the sun rose, sunshine overshined the roofs, ground, and leaves in the maize field, bringing everything to life. Smoke wreathed up from kitchen chimneys, picturing the beauty in ancient Chiness poems. As the sun rose, streets became busy, filled with partens seeing their children to school, working people hurring to work, buses running crowdedly on narrow streets. When it got later, the mall in the center of the town was the most noisy and popular place of the town. When the sun reached high, the soudn of students' reading would be replaced by the students' laughing. School uniforms would be all over the town as it was time for students to go home and have lunch, where I had my part for six years. At dusk, people headed home from wherever they were in the daytime. Smoke rose again, the town went golden and then quiet. A day ended as the night took charge, with another peaceful morning around the corner.

    杜鹃鲶鱼

    鲶鱼是一种淡水鱼。它们差不多在世界上每一个有淡水的地方生存,而且鲶鱼的种类五花八门。一般来说,鲶鱼是清道夫,而且在跟养鱼的爱好者中它们特别受欢迎。在再这么小的篇幅我不能总结鲶鱼典型的特点(我觉得这里用逗号比较好,如果一定想强调一下的话,应该用:更合适),;这个话题的难度真的太高。虽然有一些种类有很多共同点,其他种类之间的差别却很大。在这篇作文里我想介绍描写一下一种有繁殖行为很独特的鲶鱼。这种鲶鱼的繁殖行为在鱼的世界中独一无二。这种个鲶鱼叫做“杜鹃鲶鱼” (学名是 Synodontis multipunctatus) 


    杜鹃鲶鱼生活存在非洲的坦噶尼喀湖 (世界上最大的湖之一)。在湖里这种鱼数量众多很充沛。杜鹃鲶鱼的名字的来源于它们的繁殖行为。非洲的大湖里最主要的鱼种类叫做“慈鲷”。不象其他鱼种类,慈鲷是很好的父母,而且会保护它们的鱼卵和鱼苗。非洲的慈鲷保护鱼卵的主要方法是雌性的慈鲷把受精鱼卵存在嘴里,直到鱼苗孵育出来。这个方法避免其他鱼把鱼卵吃掉。 


    杜鹃鲶鱼剥夺削慈鲷保护它们鱼卵的本能。杜鹃鲶鱼会找一对双在繁殖的过程当中的(或者:会找一对正在繁殖的)慈鲷。找到了之后,杜鹃鲶鱼会把慈鲷一部分的鱼卵吃掉,用自己的鱼卵代替它们吃了的慈鲷鱼卵。雌性慈鲷会把所有的鱼卵(包括杜鹃鲶鱼卵)存在嘴里,保护它们。雌性慈鲷把鲶鱼的鱼卵错误地(“地”用得很正确)当成自己的。鲶鱼的鱼苗比慈鲷的鱼苗提前几天孵育出来,而且鲶鱼苗孵育出来以后会吃掉剩下的慈鲷鱼卵。雌性慈鲷意识到嘴里的鱼卵都已经孵育了时,会把鱼苗吐出去。但是令她惊讶的是没有慈鲷鱼苗,只有鲶鱼鱼苗。总的来说杜鹃鲶鱼的繁殖行为很接近有同样名字的杜鹃鸟的繁殖行为。

    在对养鱼的爱好者中这种鲶鱼挺(改成“很”会更好,“挺”一般用于口语)受欢迎,而且很多爱好者乐于观看在(去掉“在”读起来会更自然)鱼浴缸里杜鹃鲶鱼的繁殖行为。在鱼浴缸里繁殖这些鱼最大的挑战之一是鱼缸里的慈鲷很快学到它们繁殖方法,所以提前做准备。慈鲷也能学到怎么鉴别自己的鱼卵和鲶鱼卵,所以雌性把鱼卵存在嘴里之前会吃所有的鲶鱼卵。所以为了持久地的繁殖这些鲶鱼,爱好者必须每隔几个月更换鱼缸里的慈鲷。商业化的繁殖项目能在没有慈鲷的环境里使杜鹃鲶鱼自己繁殖(比如说科学家会把激素放在水里,促进鲶鱼的繁殖)。但是我个人自己认为,对一个普通的养鱼爱好者来说,用自然的方法最好;观看这种鲶鱼的繁殖行为是很有意思的/有很大的乐趣(有很大的乐趣,是很有意思的,两者意思相同,取其一即可)。

    An Incident It was on a rainy summer afternoon,I went shopping alone. I bought two woolen overcoats on sale,which were packed in paper bags, a pocket of food, and a pair of shoes. I could hardly spare a hand to hold the umbrella. Then I went out of the hall to take a bus. To get to the bus stop, I had to walk across a large parking lot. I was halfway when all of a sudden,it started to rain heavily. That was an awkward situation for it would take me the same time to get to either side of the parking lot, yet there was absolutely no shelter at all. I tried to cover myself and the paper bags against the rain but the wind was too strong. Soon enough I was all wet. Just when I was hopeless and helpless,there came a car. The driver and his wife rolled the window down and asked me to get in it to keep the rain.They talked to me and comforted me for a while. At last, I didn’t get on the car because they were heading for another direction. But I was so moved by their kindness. They didn’t think of the mud staining their car or the water soiling the seats, they just asked and helped. Luckily the rain stopped and the sun came out soon after they drove away. That is something I will never forget. I can’t recall their car or even their faces, but I can always recall on a summer afternoon, after a heavy rain,I was bathed in brilliant sunshine, both body and mind.

    万达之道

    人生就是像股票市场一样。它有两个时期期间:熊市和牛市。如果你想成为一个成功的人,你首先必须成为一个猎手。
    大多数的人觉得在牛市的时侯期间他们得买东西和、可以乱花钱。他们觉得当熊市来到的时候,所有的人得卖东西。所以说,他们觉得熊市是最不好的时期期间。不过,那只是大多数的人的看法。聪明的人——猎手——知道熊市的期间是最好的。一个千万富翁说:“应该趁街上血流成河时买进。”
    开鬼门关的时候,你必须好好考虑考虑你眼前的情况。你必须评估监测东西的价值,好好地调查公司的情况。当你看到一些价值被低估的公司,你得投资,收购这些公司。到了牛市的时候,你可以卖掉有的股票,、有的公司。你也可以管理这些公司,所以你不但成为个投资者,而且你还成为个企业家。简单地说,大多数的人卖掉的时候你就该买进,大多数的人买的时候你就该卖掉。

    顺便说一下,我现在想买《万达之道 》这本书。我现在在东京,所以就没办法门儿。我在哪儿能下载这本书?谢了。

    Is it difficult for you to get up in the morning? Why? Usually, it’s not very difficult for me to get up in the morning from this term. Last summer vacation, I was often woken up by my mother to exercise a bit in the morning. At first I was annoyed. However, few days later I fell in love with the early morning. We used to take a walk around a little park, breathe the fresh air, stretch up and then go to the grocer’s. Later I started to go jogging in the morning. The scent of trees and songs of birds cheered me up. The morning activity with my parents offered me energy as well as a good mood of the day. So when I returned back to school, I was accustomed to the way it used to be – waking up early in the morning. Later on I happily found morning classes no longer upset me. I like it because I feel fresh the whole morning. And daytime seems longer since I get extra two hours every day. To wake up in the morning, setting the alarm clock is always a good idea. Also I like to set my favorites songs as the ring to enjoy the music while waking up. Moreover, I think a better way is to form into a habit. To do that, we need motivation. As we all know, you’ll never find a late person in a highly-valued date. Similarly, find something worth doing after bed, do it every morning till it becomes a habit. Being a morning person definitely do you good, and you’ll see.

    回应《一所差劲的学校》这个帖子

    italki另一位用户最近发了一篇作文,标题为《一所家差劲的学校》(家一般形容更小的场所,比如一家旅店,一家餐厅),诉说他儿子上学时如何遭受同学的欺负。作者家(作家是一种职业,作者是针对文章来说写文章的人)还提问中国学校采取什么样的措施来处理并杜绝这种恃强凌弱的现象。

    我也不知道这个问题的答案,不过我发现中国学校氛围跟英国的很不一样,我在这里说的氛围是指学生之间相处的模式。

    在英国的话,很少有集体的团队精神,学生往往处于互相对立的状态,学生分组抱团往往是为了欺负弱者而抱团的(为了避免重复,可以说为了欺负弱者而为之,或者只说为了欺负弱者,后者更好些)。至于为何会如此,我猜测一个因素可能是英国社会相对比较提倡个性,即每个人从小被鼓励培养自己人格的独立性。这样固然有其优点,但在幼年时,孩子们会缺乏社会与自己一致的安心作用社会归属感。因此,为了给自己说服(觉得这里用证明更好)自己并不属于弱势群体,他们就攀在弱者的身上(地道点的说法是骑在。。。的头上,指欺负的意思),使(可以改成“显”)得自己显得高一层(高人一等)。

    中国的情况不一样。孩子被提倡压抑个性而遵守社会规矩(一般说遵守社会秩序,遵守规则,守规矩,感觉在这里遵守规则更好),当面临着学业的压力时,就有同船共渡的相依为命同心协力、互帮互助(同船共渡换作同舟共济更好,但用在学生身上词义略大)的精神。我之所以这么说,是由于这是我亲眼看到的情景。我工作的学校有一名学生,智力上有缺陷,行为也怪僻,若出身于(出身一般形容家庭)是在英国学校里,势必会成为被欺负的焦点对象。可他在中国反而接受受到(接受有主观的成分,受到更强调被动。接受道歉,受到欢迎)同学们的宽容,虽然同学们不怎么主动跟他打交道,甚至会希望远离他一点,但也不会故意欺负他。 


    林子大,什么鸟都有,(这句还是别用了,口语,有贬义)(在)中国肯定也会发生恃强凌弱的情况,这时我不知道校方会怎么处置之,但总体上,我还是觉得中国学校氛围比英国的人道些许。

     

    整体来说非常好,除了同船共渡那一句必须要改之外,其他的影响都很小。

    Shanghai

    今天是我在上海度过的第一天在上海。19小时的飞行后在飞机的时候我到达在上海机场。我很累。在上海天气差不多又闷云又热。Isla和我一起去超市买东西。找超市用了消很多时间候。之以后我们去AisenRamen吃晚饭。我们吃了炒面和饺子。Isla试了一(deleted 一 here,but you can't see it clearly )试荔枝汁。然后我们去散步。终于我们一身疲惫多是累和回到来宿舍。 


    我不喜欢我的房间,因为没有浴室。有很多人做我们的浴室所以这个房间很脏。(I don't understand this sentense,what do you mean by ”做“?)夜里我感觉害怕毛了。我醒了很多次, 我想念想一想我的老公。我有恐惧但是我不知这道为什么自己如此恐惧。我也感到孤单,甚至想我要回去苏格兰去。我以前从来没有过这种感觉这是以前。

    所以, 我希望今天更好!(Better to say: 希望今天一切顺利。)

     

    Apart from what was suggested by Amanda,here is my advice:

    1.You don't use 在 after 到, don't put them together. 到达 is a nice word to say arrive. 

    2.云 is not an adjective in our daily life. If you mean cloudy,多云的 is ok.闷 means depressing or            hard to breathe. Actually 闷热 can make a word together,which is sweatering or stuffy.

    3.If you mean a poried of time, 时间 is better than 时候,like 一段时间. Pay attention to this: 有时间&有    时候.The latter means sometimes,the same as 有时, while somebody 有时间 means he or she is available.eg:

       你有时间吗?能帮我一个忙吗? Have you got a minute? Could you please do me a favor?

    4.The use of 毛 is quite interesting. I'm surprised you know its meaning of "being scared"! BUT, you      mustn't use it in an essay except in a novel. It's very informal! You even have to be careful when      you use the word in a conversation. It's slightly rude. :)
