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.

Dear my friend,
I am here writing to your to express my gratitude to you for congratulation.
You mentioned how to improve the translation ability. Now I would like to offer you some suggestions.
The most important factor to be considered is that you must grasp a large.bank of vocabulary, which is the foundation for translation. Secondly, you can try to practice translation everyday. After your translation, you can compare your translation with the given answer. Last but not the least, you must pay very close attention to the difference between the two languages. Differences between laguges must be considered when you are translating.
I am looking forward to meeting you in the near future. Then, we can have a talk face to face. I sincerely hope that my suggestions can be constructive to you.
Truly yours
从小到大,家对我来说无不是最重要的。在学校受了委屈,在家里有无限盈溢的温暖包裹着我,着甜蜜的味道一直伴随着我。而家庭记录下了最欢乐的事迹和最悲伤的事情。记录下了我生活中的酸,甜,苦,辣。
我的家里有一种独特的气息,说平凡因为每个人家里都会有,说另类是因为我有了爱我的父母给予我不凡的爱,赐予了我太多太多的温暖,宽容和自信。是他们教会了我如何做人,是他们教会了我如何流泪时微笑,是他们教会了我如何微笑着流泪,总而言之,他们赐予和无私奉献了太多的爱!
家庭的中的.气息能使我们心旷神怡,摒除杂念。它这个看不见的东西处处散发着温馨的气息,它能给我们带来许多的欢乐。
记得那是一次重阳节,我和爸爸妈妈一起到爷爷奶奶的家里“做客”到了晚上,爷爷到客厅里一脸慈爱的说:“谁和我一起去包饺子啊?”只见我“唰”一下站起来胸脯挺得直直的,爷爷便把我叫到了厨房叫我和他去包饺子。爷爷低头轻声说道:“阿杰,会包饺子吗?”这时我才猛然间意识到我不会呀,哎哟怎么这么傻呀不会也来凑热闹,我的脸蛋涨的通红怯怯的说道:“爷爷我不会啊!”“呵呵,不会还说帮我包饺子,嘿,算了,你就在这里陪爷爷说说话吧!”爷爷一脸泰然的说道似乎早有预谋了,诶,上了爷爷得当啊。“好啊”我快声说道。过了一会爷爷说:“小杰啊,你在家有孝敬父母吗?你会常常体谅爸爸妈妈么?还有在家里是不是很娇气,什么家务活都不做还有和妈妈顶过嘴么?”我一脸茫然的对爷爷说:“您说的我都知道,再说了我都上五年级了,连这点都分不清楚,那么我不就是一个糊涂蛋了啊!”“呵呵,我孙子真的这么懂事么,哈哈这就好咯!”“诶,我说爷爷您是否能体谅体谅我呢?”我一脸无语的说道“好好好,还会反击我了来”爷爷却是一脸笑呵呵的说着。
我的家,一个温暖的“小窝”一个可以刚好容纳下我家几口人的范围。是因为有家才让我感受到了家的温暖,是因为有家才让我懂得了家人的存在,感受到了家人间的信任,明白了原来亲情才是最可贵的爱!是因为有了家我才有了目标,使我不懈的努力淬炼我的身心。是家,在我最疲惫的时候有了一个幸福的港湾。是家,在我的“梦想帆船”驶进风暴中,有了他们帮我扶正了轨道,点亮了心中的迷茫,像在昏暗的夜空中看到的几颗闪闪发亮的星星。或许有一天我悄然离开了这个世界,离开了这个生我养我的地方,也许我会恐惧,也许我会悲痛,但是我坚信,在苍穹深处,在无尽的夜空中我的灵魂一定会飘回这片土地,我一直坚信着在天的尽头,有一个我的“小窝”有一个我曾经的避风港……
Dear Paul,
How was I to know that you were watching me sleep? I awoke to see you laying there and just then, you smiled and said hi and that just melted me. I wish with all of my heart that I could wake to your beautiful eyes for the rest of my life.I hated to leave but as I have told you, I left a big part of me with you.
It is yours now so, take care and tread lightly. I wish that I could be with you now as you face so many struggles, but know that I am there in spirit and am praying for everything to work out for you. No matter where this life takes us, together or not, know that you and your girls will always be in my heart and \"my favorite.\" Love always,Amanda
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.
Dear John,
I am writing to thank you for looking after me after that unfortunate accident the other day, when I was knocked off my bike by a taxi. If it had not been for your assistance in giving me first aid and taking me to a nearby hospital, I fear that the consequences might have been much more serious.
The doctor says that my broken leg is healing well. In addition, the taxi company has agreed to pay my hospital bills. Everyone agrees that it was your quick-witted response in that Emergency that has led to this satisfactory outcome.
Although nowadays many people talk about the need to be unselfish and to help others, we see very few people practicing what they preach. But you showed by your actions that you are an exception.
Yours sincerely.
