Long, long ago, there were two brothers, the one rich and the other poor. When Christmas Eve came, the poor one had not a bite in the house, either of meat or bread; so he went to his brother, and begged him, in God's name, to give him something for Christmas Day. It was by no means the first time that the brother had been forced to give something to him, and he was not better pleased at being asked now than he generally was.
"If you will do what I ask you, you shall have a whole ham," said he. The poor one immediately thanked him, and promised this.
"Well, here is the ham, and now you must go straight to Dead Man's Hall," said the rich brother, throwing the ham to him.
"Well, I will do what I have promised," said the other, and he took the ham and set off. He went on and on for the livelong day, and at nightfall he came to a place where there was a bright light.
"I have no doubt this is the place," thought the man with the ham.
An old man with a long white beard was standing in the outhouse, chopping Yule logs.
"Good-evening," said the man with the ham.
"Good-evening to you. Where are you going at this late hour?" said the man.
"I am going to Dead Man's Hall, if only I am on the right track," answered the poor man.
"Oh! yes, you are right enough, for it is here," said the old man. "When you get inside they will all want to buy your ham, for they don't get much meat to eat there; but you must not sell it unless you can get the hand-mill which stands behind the door for it. When you come out again I will teach you how to stop the hand-mill, which is useful for almost everything."
So the man with the ham thanked the other for his good advice, and rapped at the door.
妈妈每天都要在网上购买许多衣物,这时我想:有这么多钱买衣服,还不如给我买玩具呢。你看,我家的鞋架和衣柜都要装不下了,每次打开衣柜就会有很多件衣服向你扑来,好像在争先恐后地说:“穿我,穿我!”但是妈妈就一个身体,真正能穿多少呢?
妈妈为什么这么爱购物?不可以做其他的事情吗?再这么下去,我们家都要被妈妈买“穷”了。真担心妈妈的爱购物变成慢性病一样麻烦呐!
爸爸也许知道妈妈为什么这么爱购物,去打听一下吧。他说:“***妈的事我怎么知道?去去去,别妨碍我工作,不赚钱***拿什么购物。”老爸可真小气,这都不肯说,哼,再也不问你了。也许爷爷知道妈妈为什么爱购物,谁知爷爷反而问我:“购物?购物是什么?”唉!可见问题又复杂啦!去问妈妈,也许她自己知道为什么执迷于购物。妈妈轻描淡写地说:“购物就是把自己想买的`东西买了而已。”听完我沉思了几秒,购物应该是让妈妈开心的方式吧!
真的是这样吗?我还是有点疑惑,购物可真是一件非常难搞清楚的事情,到底是谁发明了网购?马云!看来都是马云惹出来的麻烦。真担心妈妈长期购物会把我们家逼到绝境啊!
但是只要妈妈开心,其實我和老爸也是可以同意妈妈购物的。
Dear Chris,
How are you doing? Recently, an important volleyball game will be held in our campus, which will be not only meaningful but also exciting. So, as captain of the team, I, on behalf of all our team members, am writing to invite you to join us in the battle!
Here are some relevant details about it. To begin with, it will be on the 3rd volleyball court from 2:00 to 4:00 on the afternoon of July 1st. Besides, we, the Giants, will confront the Eagles, which is undoubtedly a tough rival. As a result, adequate preparation is urgently needed, including practice, nutrition and a perfect plan.
Hopefully, you could make it to this wonderful event. We need you! Looking forward to your reply and your presence.
Yours,
Li Hua
有一天,妈妈给了我两百元让我去超市买水果和食物。我高高兴兴地去买水果了。
我走到了半路,看见了一个人堆,大声的高喊着:给我称一点,给我秤一点!”我很疑惑,心里想着:这么多的人挤在这里干什么呢?”我走近一看,原来是卖米的,我再仔细一看,是在搞活动,原价是一百块钱三十斤,现在是一百块钱四十斤,我想了想说:好货不便宜,便宜没好货。”然后我就去了超市。
然后,我进入了超市,我一看超市里面顿时惊呆了,这里面人很多,像一个大鱼缸里装了数百条金鱼,让我眼花缭乱。超市里有水果区、蔬菜区、熟食区,然后我进入了水果区开始选水果了。我左看看、西瞧瞧就是找不到,有一个阿姨问我:孩子,你在找什么呢?”我低声的说:我在找苹果和香焦,”我说。就在前面那里,”阿姨说。我说:谢谢您,阿姨。”
前面有红的、绿的苹果,全部都放的特别整齐,像一个个排着整齐队伍的小蚂蚁,我挑了几个苹果,又看到了旁边的香蕉、芭焦,我看了又看,分不清哪种才是香蕉,在我的仔细观察下终于分清了。
我买好了东西准备付钱的时候,才发现钱不见了,我对阿姨说:我的钱不见了,我把东西放在这里,”她说:好的。”我就在来的路了仔细寻找,还是没找到,我回到家里,对妈妈说:我的两百块钱不见了,”妈妈说:傻孩子,你把钱放在家里了。”我又跑去超市把东西买着回家了。
每当我想起这一次购物,我都会哈哈”大笑起来。通过这件事我也知道了以后做事一定要细心。

Life has its ups and downs, and only true friends always stay around. Like anyone else, I have got many friends. They often help me when I’m in trouble. Especially, when I fail in an examination, they always care for me and encourage me to study harder. Last year, when I was hurt in a basketball game, my friends took me to the nearby hospital at once and look after me by turns. In my eyes, friends are the most precious wealth that one should treasure all his life.
我不敢去面对我没有做过的事情。第一次妈妈给我十元钱,让我一个人独自去千盛百货买酸牛奶。这是我没有做过的事情,我想了想终于还是鼓起勇气走出了家门。
我走啊走,终于走到了千盛百货。此时此刻,我忽然觉得没有那么害怕了。我走进商场找到了食品区,看到了酸牛奶,此刻我很高兴,因为我找到了我自己想要的东西,我的心情豁然开朗。我要买5袋酸牛奶。可是,有很多种酸牛奶有华西酸牛奶、菊乐酸牛奶、乃奇乐酸牛奶、新希望酸牛奶……。我东看看,西比比,我最后还是确定华西酸牛奶好一点,就拿了5袋华西酸牛奶。每袋1元2角钱,5袋就是6元钱。
我走到收银台,看见人山人海的人,我走到一个收银台,把钱给了售货员,阿姨找给了我4元钱。我拿着牛奶就往外跑,跑到家门口我看见妈妈在门口等着我了。我飞快地跑到妈妈的身旁。把牛奶和钱给了妈妈。妈妈高兴的对我说:“你真是太棒了!”我听了这些高兴得不得了。
今天,我什么都不怕了!真是一个有趣的第一次!
