Dear Miss White, boys and girls,
Today, we gather here to have a send-off meeting. Our English teacher Miss White is going to leave her post and return to her country----the United States. We all know Miss White came to our school in September, 1989. She has taught us spoken English for about a year. During the course of her English teaching she was strict with us. She was always kind to us. She often made her lessons lively and interesting.She is loved and respected by us all. Now she will leave our school soon. We thank her very much for her wonderful work and wish her to have a good journey.
Thank you!

Comrades and friends,
Just two weeks ago, we happily gathered here to give Doctor Daniel a warm welcome. Today we are now gathered here again with him because he will leave for home tomorrow.
Doctor Daniel's visit to China is short but very successful. During his stay in Beijing he visited factories，villages, schools, and carefully studied our politics, economy, culture and education.
In bidding farewell to him, we sincerely hope that Doctor Daniel will benefit us with his criticisms①,advice and valuable suggestions tending to② the improvement of our work, and we wish to take this opportunity to request him to convey our deep friendship to the American people, and also our best regards and respects to them. We wish him a pleasant journey home and good health.

The English language has now become an international language because it is used by people of the most countries in the world.
In the open times if you want to do business with foreigners, you have to learn English, for most of them speak and write English. English is one of the working languages at international meetings. Today most of the valuable books are written in English. In order to improve your knowledge, you should be able to read English. Only those who read English can benefit from the reports of the meetings in the world and books written in English. English appears to be regarded as the standard language of man. If you know English you can understand people from other countries better and you can also do what you should do for the world peace.
English is taught in most of the schools of our country, but many students don't know why they should learn it. It is hoped that all the students should pay more attention to the study of English and make good use of it.

1）本文主要从英语的重要性方面说明了为什么学习英语的道理。这些重要性包括四个方面：①英语是商业用语；②英语是国际会议语言；③世界上有价值的书籍都是用英语写的；④英语成了国际标准语。
2）英语指导性文章多用第二人称来写，这一点与汉语不同。汉语指导性文章多用第一人称复数“我们”来写，注意区别。

My father is a tall man with a pair of glasses. Everyone says he is a kind-hearted man. He often helps his neighbours and some strangers whom he doesn't know at all. He has really done a lot for others. I don't like him to do so because I think it has taken him too much time. When I discourage him, he always says with a smile,"The world needs warm hearts."
My father loves his family, and loves his work even better. In the company, he is called "workaholic" He spends most of his time working, and often forgets to have meals or to go to bed.As a result,he doesn't enjoy good health.
My father likes reading in his spare time. He told me reading was very interesting. I became interested in reading little by little. I like books, because they help me in many ways.
My father has a bad habit he likes smoking very much. I hate it. See, the house is full of smoke. I know it's bad for his health as well as mother's and mine. I advise him to give up smoking. I'm sure he will follow my advice some day.
Such is my father. I am proud of having such a good father.

我的爸爸
我的爸爸个子高高的，戴着一副眼镜。大家都说他是个好心肠的人。他经常帮邻居排忧解难，对于一些他压根不认识的陌生人，他也总是尽力相助。他为别人真是付出了许多许多。我不愿意他这么做，因为这花费了他太多的时间。每当我劝阻他时，爸爸总是笑着说：“世界需要热心肠嘛!”
爸爸热爱家庭，更注重事业，公司里的人都叫他“工作狂”。他把大部分时间都用于工作，为工作他常常废寝忘食。过度的劳累使他的健康状况欠佳。
爸爸闲暇时爱读书。他告诉我，读书很有趣。我渐渐地对读书产生了兴趣。我爱上了书，因为书对我帮助很大。
爸爸有个坏习惯——太爱吸烟。我不喜欢他抽烟。瞧，家里充满了烟味。我知道吸烟有害他的健康，对我和妈妈也有害无益。我建议他戒烟。我相信总有一天他会这么做的。
这就是我的爸爸，我为有这样的好爸爸而自豪。

My favourite pop star is Zhou Huajian. I like him not only because he is very handsome, but also his songs are very beautiful.
On October 18, he gave a performance in Tianjin. About 2500 fans went to the stadium to see him. Almost all of them were students. Some of them were even from Beijing, the capital city of China ,which is about 200 kilometres from Tianjin. I really wanted to watch the performance,but unfortunately,I didn't get a ticket. So I watched him on TV.
Zhou is one of the most popular stars in China. He is living in Hong Kong. His family is very happy. He has a good wife and three lovely children. He liked playing football when he was a university student. However, he has no time to play football now.
I hope he will be happy all his life, for he is loved by all of us.

流行歌手
周华健是我最欣赏的流行乐坛的歌手。他不仅相貌英俊，而且唱得很动听，因此我很喜欢他。
10月18日他在天津举办了一次演唱会。2500多名歌迷前往观看，他们大多是学生。有些人甚至是从200公里外的首都北京赶来的。我多想去看演出呀，但遗憾的是我没买到票，所以只好从电视上观看了。
周华健是中国流行歌坛最受欢迎的歌手之一。他现在住在香港。他有一个幸福的家庭：有个贤惠的妻子和3个可爱的孩子。大学时代的他很爱踢足球，然而现在他却无暇踢球了。
我希望他一生快乐，因为他是我们深爱的歌星。

Li Tao is a young and old teacher in our school. He is regarded as old, because he has been teaching here for 20 years. He is thin, at the same time, he is now only 38 years old. He doesn't have much hair on the head. And it is nearly all white. Missing two teeth and wearing thick glasses, he looks older than he really is. He says people often offer their seats to him for his old looks. On the contrary, I myself saw him give up his seat to a woman with a baby in her arms. At least twice he did so. When you attend his interesting and lively classes, you will be sure of his real age still young.

一个老师
李涛是我校资历颇深的年轻教师。他被看作是老教师，因为他教化学已经有20年了。说他年轻，因为他今年才38岁。他长得较瘦，头发不多，而且已经灰白了。他戴着深度眼镜，牙齿缺了两颗，所以他看上去比他实际年龄要大。他说，在公共汽车上常常有人给他让座。事实上，我曾看见他不止一次给怀抱婴儿的妇女让过座。只要听一听他的化学课——那课既生动又有趣，你就会发现他依然如他真正的年龄一样年轻。

Li Min is our monitor. She is tall, healthy and lively. She does well in all subjects. She is fond of sports and is good at singing and dancing.
Li Min works hard at English. When she came to the school, she had quite a lot of difficulties with the language. But she was not afraid of them and always tried hard to overcome them. She was active in class and did a lot of practice after class. No pains, no gains.With great efforts she made much progress in English study.
Li Min is modest and always ready to help others. She is very strict with herself in her work and daily life. She sets us all a fine example.

我们的班长
李敏是我们的班长。她个子高，身体好，很活泼。她各科成绩都好，喜欢体育活动，又能歌善舞。
李敏学习英语很努力。她刚进校时，在英语学习上遇到不少困难。但她不怕苦，不怕难，努力把英语学好。她在课堂上积极主动地回答问题，课后努力学习。正如谚语所言：不劳无获。付出极大努力后，她在英语方面取得了很大进步。
她严于律己，乐于助人，在工作和生活上对自己严格要求。她真是我们学习的好榜样。

我希望他一生快乐,thanks!
