Dear Mary,
Thanks for your last letter. I'm so glad that you have been able (at last! to arrange a holiday in Australia. As I fear I won't be able to meet you at the airport when you arrive, nor will I be able to be home until later in the afternoon, so here are some instructions and suggestions. There is a bus from the airport to the city. It is much cheaper than a cab. Take the bus to the city and ask to get off at Town Hall railway station. To get to my place in the eastern suburbs you have three options. You can either take a cab, a bus or the train. I suggest you take the train, since the airport bus will leave you right at the station. Get off at Cliff Station. From there you can either walk to my place (about ten minutes or take a taxi. Probably you should take a taxi as you will have luggage.
When you arrive at my flat, ring the intercom for Flat 2. My friend Lillian will be at home and she will open the front door for you and let you into my flat. Presumably you will be tired and want to sleep. But if you feel like some exercise after that long flight, you could stroll down to Cooper Park, which is only ten minutes away ? you can see it from the window. Cheers and looking forward to seeing you.
Yours sincerely,
Annie
P.S. I will leave something for breakfast in the fridge. Help yourself to anything you want.
Nowadays, advertisements can be found everywhere in big cities. They shout at us from the television screen and radio loudspeakers, wave to us from every page of the newspaper, signal to us from the roadside billboards all day and flash messages to us in colored lights all night.
Faced with a flood of advertisement, some people wonder whether it is necessary to have such huge sums spent on advertising. They often cite in illustration of it the attractive, but false and deceptive advertisements to which many consumers fall victim. Why don't we stop advertising and use the money to reduce the price of goods? It sounds like a good idea, but they fail to notice the contribution advertising makes to our society. Because the production of a better product to compete for customers' money is the goal of advertisers, customers are thus given a chance to compare their products and get the best and cheapest one. Besides, as the advertisement can provide people with a lot of immediate and detailed information as to the availability of a certain product, or a service or a job, it makes life much more convenient. And another thing we mustn't forget: the fact that we pay so little for our daily newspapers and TV programs is due entirely to the money spent by advertisers.
Advertising performs such a useful service to our society that we can't imagine what would happen if there were no advertisements. (198 words
夜静悄悄的,我在灯下读《红岩》。
“一根,两根!……竹签深深地撕裂者血肉……左手,右手,两只手钉满了粗长的竹签……一阵一阵地泼水声……”
泪水在眼眶中打转转,一不小心就会流下来,我实在无法想象在我的心里,那样的痛几乎令我窒息!
“是什么力量让江姐如此坚强不屈?”我深深地,静静地思索着。想起那次爬山,不小心碰到石头,膝盖被划破的刺痛;学煎蛋时,油碰到手的灼痛;甚至几天前好心帮妈妈弄洋葱,汁水滴入眼睛,弄得无法睁开眼……只是这么一点点疼痛,我已经无法忍受。江姐啊,是什么力量让你如此坚持抵抗住地狱般的煎熬的.呀!是为了扞卫千万个战士安全线的笃定?是共产党员钢铁般的意思?是为了让后代有更美好的生活?是,应该都是。
我们生活在幸福时代,我们无法想象江姐那个年代的水生火热。我们太幸福了,以至于忘记了感恩,忘记了努力,忘记了作为共和国少年应肩负的使命和责任!此刻,面对《红岩》中一位位革命勇士,我感到自己是何等的顽劣和渺小啊!我起誓,作为新世纪的少年,我热爱,我奉献。
星期天的下午,我在家里看了一本童话故事书,其中有一篇叫:《丑小鸭的故事》,给我留下了非常深刻的印象。 日记
这个故事主要说了一只小鸭从蛋壳里出生的时候,它就感觉自己长得非常丑。她的爸爸和妈妈都不愿意搭理它,兄弟姐妹更是嘲笑它,说她是这世界上最丑的鸭子。听了身边亲人和朋友的嘲笑,小鸭子自己也感到非常难过和伤心。就连呆在木森林的伙伴们也看不起它,还给她起了一个绰号:“丑小鸭”。不只这样,小鸭子还被赶出了家门了。冬天来了,在这大冷天里,小鸭子想:伙伴们一定睡在自己温暖的家里,爸爸和妈妈一定在给哥哥姐姐们讲笑话,而自己呢,孤独的、凄凉地呆在那荒野里,为了不被冰冻的大雪冻死,她每天强迫自己在雪地上奔跑,让自己暖和一些……
在自己的勉励下,小鸭子度过了漫长的冬天,春天来了,看着满山田园里的绿色,小鸭子开始学习如何飞翔,刻苦的训练,不知道,她经历了多少汗水,终于有一天,在美丽的湖面的倒影中,她看见了一只美丽的天鹅,天呀,是我吗?它怀疑的,吃惊地、不断地问自己,当它展开翅膀飞上高空时,她知道自己成功了,那美丽的天鹅就是她自己,她快乐地歌唱,在天空上翩翩起舞。让人们惊叹,让从前那些看不起她的伙伴们,猜疑,是谁在天上飞呢?那么漂亮,那么勇敢地飞翔,当伙伴们回过神时,哇!当初的丑小鸭变成美丽的天鹅。他们都低下了头……
看完这个故事,我终于明白了:人没有一出生,就一帆风顺的,只要自己坚持不懈地努力,向自己的目标进取,才能有自己把握的明天。现在,我是小学生,从小树立自己的理想去努力,为了自己的梦想,遇到困难绝不退缩,要像小鸭子那样,不畏嘲笑,不畏艰苦的追求,最后,我会变成人人羡慕的一只“美丽的小天鹅”。
同学们一定听说过1996年英国科学家克隆出世界上第一只克隆羊“多利”的故事吧!那么,如果世界上真的可以克隆,你会克隆什么呢?
如果真的可以克隆,我会克隆出另一个我。由于年龄的增长,学习的负担越来越重了。除了吃、喝、睡以外,我大量的时间都是花在学习上。如果克隆出了另一个我,那么,当我累了时,便可以让我的克隆人来替我学习,而我呢,就可以悠闲地躺在床上休息了。
如果真的可以克隆,我会克隆出另一个妈妈。平时,当大家都在休息时,妈妈却还要不停地做家务。如果我克隆出了另一个妈妈,那么,当妈妈需要休息时,妈妈的克隆人便会挺身而出,这样妈妈就不用那么累了,而且,也不用担心做得不好,因为,毕竟是自己做的嘛!
如果真的可以克隆,我会克隆出另一个爸爸。这些年,爸爸为了我们可以读好书,天天起早贪黑地赚钱,处处舍不得花钱。如果克隆出了另一个爸爸,那么,爸爸也不需忙这忙那,担心这担心那了,因为这所有的事,爸爸的克隆人肯定都手到擒来。到时候,爸爸就等着“享清福”吧!
呀!有了克隆,人们的世界将会变得更加美好!
