We can see in the picture a little boy standing in front of a mirror.He’s letting his imagination fly.What he sees in the mirror is not his physical self but what he will be like in twenty years.Although he is small and short now, he believes he will grow up to be a tall and strong young man like Yao Ming, who he admires.I think this picture tries to tell us that we should always look into the future with hope and confidence.

A Letter to High School Students in Jiangsu
Dear fellow students,
Our government is aiming to build a "harmonious society" （和谐社会）.I think it is every citizen"s duty to work hard to achieve this goal.
As high school students, what should we do?
First of all, we should love our motherland.Let’s take a great interest in the development of our hometowns and take an active part in our school and class activities.
Secondly, let’s fill the world with love.We should show our respect for old people, our parents and our teachers.We should also care for each other and help those in need.Most important of all, all of us must be faithful and honest in our daily life.
Finally, let’s work together to save energy and protect our natural environment, including animals, trees, flowers and grass.
As for myself, I will study even harder and try my best to do all the above.
Dear fellow students, let"s start fight now and spare no effort to do a little bit every day, every hour, and every minute!

Should students make friends on line? Some people say yes.The internet helps make many friends.Chatting on line, students can more freely express their feelings and opinions, and even get help with their foreign language studies.
Others, however, think students should not.They say making friends on line is a waste of time, which should be spent more meaningfully on study.Besides, some students get cheated on line.
It is my opinion that students should place their study, health and safety before other things.As for friendship, we can readily find it in our classmates and other people around us.

Chinese students celebrate their birthdays in different ways, but the most common way is to hold a birthday party, at which friends get together to have fun drinking, singing and dancing.On the birthday, one usually receives nice gifts and good wishes from friends and parents.Sometimes, parents will prepare a special dinner or a cake to show their love for their children.
Since birthday celebration is one of the important activities in one’s life, it can be done in more meaningful ways.For example, we can buy some flowers or cook a delicious meal for our mothers on that day.In this way, we express thanks to our parents in return for their love.

Dear Jianhua ,
I’m very glad to have received the letter you sent me two weeks ago.I’ve been thinking about the question you asked me.In my opinion, you should come back after you finish your studies abroad.For one reason, what you are studying is badly needed nowadays in China.It will be quite easy for you to find a good job.In fact, I know a few big companies in our city are hoping to hire people like you.For another reason, I think it will be much more convenient for you to look after your parents as they are getting old.Therefore, I think it’s a good idea for you to return.So what are you waiting for?
