New Computer
新电脑
Three years ago, my family got our first computer. Now, it is too old. I want to get a new one. During the beginning of summer, my father and I talked for a long time, he finally agreed to my request.
We went to many stores, and looked at many flyers, finally we bought a HP computer.
During the first week, I noticed that our computer had some problems. I spent many hours trying to fix it, but it didn’t work, and finally I had to phone the HP Company to ask them how to solve my problem. The operator told me to wait until next morning because all their technicians were busy that day.
I waited until the next afternoon but they still did not return my call. Finally they called, and many phone calls back and forth, and after spending many hours trying to fix it, the computer still did not work. My dad didn’t have a choice, he returned the whole thing.
A few days later, we decided that I should go on the Internet and order some parts to build a new computer by myself.
At first I had some difficuties in installing it, but I didn’t lose my heart, finally I finished.
A healthy mind is in a healthy body.健康的体魄孕育健全的心智。

“Three Guarantees”
“三包”
One day I bought a pair of leather shoes in a shoe shop. And the seller there told me that he would have “three guarantee” for the shoes. I left the shop. But only four days later the shoes were worn out, so I was angry and returned to the shop hoping to get back my money. I told him what had happened to my shoes. When he knew I had kept the shoes for four days, he refused, which made me surprised. I asked him why he didn’t keep his promise. But the seller said, “Do you understand the
three guarantee? It means the shoes can only be kept for three days!”
What a foolish but wreckful explanation to the “three guarantee”!

Saving A Drowning Boy
救落水的男孩
Last Saturday afternoon, I was taking a walk together with one of my friends. We were walking along the riverbank near my house when we heard someone calling help from the river. We ran over to find a boy struggling in the water. We jumped in and managed to pull the boy out. But he was not breathing. We started his breathing at once, using the mouth-to-mouth way. When the boy came to himself, we sent him immediately to the nearest hospital. Later we telephoned his parents and told them what had happened to the boy. We didn’t leave until the parents came.

What A Strange Dream
一个奇怪的梦
When I walk in the street, I found the trees on either side of it fewer and fewer. Oh, dear! There was only sand around me at last.
Suddenly I saw a white horse in front of me. I jumped onto it and all at once it flew into the sky. I was so frightened that I closed my eyes. After a few minutes, I felt I was falling quickly. Suddenly I fell off the horse and fell to the ground heavily. I touched my eyes, my nose and my mouth. Thank God! They were still in my face. I could hardly believe I was still alive. Then I opened my eyes. I looked up into the sky. There were a few clouds in the sky. One of them looked like a tiger and one of them like a cat. Different clouds looked like different things and they changed their shapes all the time. Then I looked down at the ground. There were a sea of beautiful grass and flowers. Some butterflies were playing on the flowers. They played very happily. I went up to play with them. A few minutes later, I found there was a small river in front of me. The water in it was very clean. A lot of fish were swimming in it. I went into the water and began to swim.
“Wake up, XiaoQiang, wake up. You must get up or you will be late! Oh, my God! Were you sleeping on the floor all the night?” Mother’s voice came into my ears.

A Traffic Accident
一次车祸
Last Sunday, when I went shopping, I saw a traffic accident happened at the second corner on Hongxing Road. A car was knocked over by a truck. The truck driver drank too much before he drove. He couldn’t see the road clearly. When he saw the car he was too drunken to control the truck. As a result one person died and one was hurt in the accident. The direct economical loss reached one million Yuan. The traffic was held up for an hour in the downtown area.

My First Visit to My New School
第一次参观我的新学校
“Our new school teaching buildings have already been completed,” one of our teachers told us one morning. “ What should we do for our new school now?” At this time, all of the classmates in our class began to discuss. Several minutes later, one of us put up her hand and said, “What about paying a visit to it this Saturday? And we can plant some young trees there.” Of course, there were a great many suggestions put forward at this time. Our teacher was very satisfied with what the students had suggested. But he said he had to report to our headmaster first before he could give us a reply.
On Friday morning, when this teacher came into the classroom once again, he informed us that our headmaster had agreed to our plan. On hearing this, we felt very excited. The teacher told us that we would plant some trees first. After that, the leaders of our school who were in charge of the construction of our new campus would show us around the new school. On Saturday morning, we arrived at the new school campus. The teaching buildings are very large and modern. The students felt very excited at the sight of this. We were attracted by all of this. We felt so excited that our monitor asked us to have a temporary party for the workers who were building our new school. This was my first visit to my new school, and I will never forget it.
