雖然我的日常生活十分單調(diào)，但我卻竭力設(shè)法去適應(yīng)它。為什么?因為我打算做一個好學(xué)生，希望將來為國家服務(wù)。

放學(xué)后，我就回家了。我們通常在七點鐘吃晚餐，之后我就開始做家庭作業(yè)，希望在睡覺前把它做完。
第三天：A MODEL STUDENT 模范學(xué)生
Do you mind being called a bad student? Of course not. So far as I know, everybody intends to be (become) a model student.
However, to be a model student is by no means an easy thing. First, he must do his best to obtain knowledge. A man without sufficient knowledge will not succeed. Secondly, he must remember to improve his health. Only a strong man can do great tasks. Thirdly, he should receive moral education. If his conduct is not good, no one will consider making friends with him.
你價意被稱為壞學(xué)生嗎?當(dāng)然不。就我所知，每個人都打算做模范學(xué)生。
然而，做模范學(xué)生卻不容易。第一，他必須盡力獲得知識(求知)。一個沒有足夠知識的人是不會成功的。第二，他必須記住促進健康。只有強壯的人才能做大事。第三，他應(yīng)該接受道德教育。如果他品行不好，沒有人會考慮和他交朋友的。

There is no doubt that happiness is the most precious thing in the world. Without it, life will be empty and meaningless. If you wish to know how to get happiness, you must pay attention to the following two points.
First, health is the secret of happiness (the key to happiness). Only a strong man can enjoy the pleasure of life.
Secondly, happiness consists in contentment. A man who is dissatisfied with his present condition is always in distress.
無疑的快樂是世界上最寶貴的東西。沒有它，人生將是空虛的而且毫無意義的。如果你希望知道如何獲得快樂，你須注意下面兩點。
健康是快樂的要訣。唯有身體強壯的人才能享受人生的樂趣。
快樂在于知足。一個不滿于現(xiàn)狀的人終是處在痛苦之中。
第五天：BOOKS 書籍
As is well known, books teach us to learn life, truth, science and many other useful things. They increase our knowledge, broaden our minds and strengthen our character. In other words, they are our good teachers and wise friends. This is the reason why our parents always encourage us to read more books.
Reading is a good thing, but we must pay great attention to the choice of books. It is true that we can derive benefits from good books. However, bad books will do us more harm than good.
如眾所周知，書籍教我們學(xué)習(xí)人生，真理，科學(xué)以及其它許多有用的東西。它們增加我們的知識，擴大我們的心胸并加強我們的品格。換句話說，它們是我們的良師益友。這是為什么我們的父母終是鼓勵我們要多讀書的理由。
讀書是一好事，但我們必須多加注意書的選擇。不錯，我們能從好書中獲得益處。然而，壞書卻對我們有害無益。
第六天：A TRIP TO THE COUNTRY 鄉(xiāng)村游記
One Sunday my mother (Mother) had (made) me take my little young brother to the a trip to the country. She bade me take good care of him.

When we felt tired, we returned home. We saw Mother (our mother) wait (waiting) for us at the door.

當(dāng)我們感覺到疲倦的時候，我們就回家了。我們看見母樣正在門口等候我們。
第七天：BE PATRIOTIC 要愛國
It is the duty of every citizen to make the country rich and powerful (To make the country rich and strong is...). In order to accomplish this object one must be patriotic (love his country). I consider this an unchangeable truth.
How can a student love his country (be patriotic)? I find my answer very simple and clear. He must study hard and store up knowledge so as to serve his (the) country in the future. If every student can do according to what I said, the country will certainly be rich and powerful.
要使國家富強是每個公民的責(zé)任。為了達到此目的，必須愛國。我認為這是一條不易的定理。
一個學(xué)生如何才能愛國呢?我發(fā)覺答復(fù)很簡單明了。他必須用功讀書并積儲知識以便將來服務(wù)國家。如果每個學(xué)生能按照我所說的去做，國家一定會富強。
第八天：THE VALUE OF TIME 愛惜時光
An English proverb says that time is money. I consider it (this) wrong. Why? Because we all know that we can earn money be work but can not in any way get back time (in anyway). For this reason, we may (can) say that time is more valuable than money.
Many people do not know the value of time. It (this) is indeed a great pity. We must bear (keep) in mind that wasting time is equal to wasting your life.
英國有句諺語說，時間就是金錢。我認為這是不對的。為什么?因為我們大家都知道我們能夠用工作賺錢，但無論如何卻無法把時間爭取回來。基于此種理由，我們可以說時間比錢錢更寶貴。
許多人不知愛惜時光。這確實是可惜的。我們必須記住浪費時間等于浪費生命。

If you want to ask me why we should study English, my answer will be simple and clear. Now let me enumerate the reasons one by one in the following.In the first place, English has become an international language. If you know English, you van make a trip round the world without being misunderstood.In the second place, most valuable books, newspapers and magazines are written in English. If you wish (hope) to get knowledge, you must learn English.
如果你要問我們?yōu)槭裁次覀円獙W(xué)英文。我的答復(fù)很簡單明了。現(xiàn)在讓我來把我的理由一一列舉在下面：英文已成為一種國際語言。如果你通曉它，你可以環(huán)游世界不會被人誤解。大多數(shù)有價值的書籍，報紙和雜志都是用英文寫的。如果你希望獲得知識，你必須學(xué)習(xí)英文。

Yesterday was my birthday, so some of my classmates sent me presents. Mother prepared a tea party for me. I invited all of them to come and take part in it.The tea party began at half past six.

We could not but say “Good-bye” to one another.

第十一天：HOW TO SPEND SUNDAYS 如何消度星期日
Some of us always spend Sundays aimlessly. We can seldom derive profits from the valuable hours (time) of Sundays. This is indeed a great pity. Though Sundays are set aside as a day for rest, we must make good use of them.We know that our school lessons are usually not sufficient. We should often utilize Sundays to read reference books. In this way we will increase our knowledge. Besides, we must be engaged in sports or outing so as to strengthen our bodies.
我們許多人終是把星期日毫無目的地消度掉。這確實是十分可惜。我們很少能從星期日的寶貴時光中獲得益處。雖然星期日是被指定為一個休息的日子，但是我們卻應(yīng)好好利用它。我們知道我們學(xué)校的功課通常是不夠的。我們應(yīng)時常利用星期日來閱讀參考書。如此我們的知識就會增加了。此外，我們必須從事運動或郊游以便強壯我們的身體。
第十二天：HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY 誠為上策
There is an English proverb which says (saying) “Honesty is the best policy.” It signifies the importance of honesty.
What are the benefits of honesty? If you are honest to others, they will be honest to you in return. When you are sad, they will comfort you. When you are in trouble, they will help you.
There is no enumerating the evils of dishonesty here. In a word, a dishonest man will be looked down upon by others and (be) regarded as a public enemy.
英國有一句諺語說“誠為上策”。它說明了誠的重要性。
誠的益處是什么?如果你對他人誠實，他們也會對你誠實作為報答。當(dāng)你憂悉的時候，他們會安慰你。當(dāng)你是處在困難中的時候，他們會幫助你。
無法在這里數(shù)述不誠實的害處。一言以蔽之，一個不誠實的人會被人看輕的而且被看作為一個公敵。
第十三天：HOW EXERCISE HELPS 運動的利益
If our bodies are not strong, our spirit to do things will certainly be quite dull. And at the same time, we are lack of energy (ies) to study. Diseases will only attack the weak, but not the strong.
Why are our bodies not strong? Because we do not pay attention to exercise. For this reason, we students must often take different kinds (sorts) of exercise in the gym.
Exercise helps us (to) strengthen our bodies and avoid disease. It also teaches us cooperation, for most exercise is played by team.
如果我們的身體不強壯，我們做事的精神一定會十分遲鈍。而且同時，我們也缺少足夠的精力來讀書。疾病只為侵擊體弱的人而不是強壯的人。
為什么我們的身體會不強壯呢?因為我們不注意運動。基于此種理由，我們學(xué)生必須時常在運動場做不同種類的運動。
運動幫助我們強壯身體并避免疾病。它也教我們合作，因為大多數(shù)的運動都是團體游玩的。
第十四天：THE BENEFITS OF TRAVELING 旅行的益處
I am always interested in traveling. My reasons are quite (extremely) simple and clear. If anybody is not satisfied with my viewpoint(s), I shall be greatly surprised at his ways of thinking.

In the second place, traveling is good to our health. While we are traveling, we usually exercise our bodies.
In conclusion, I earnestly hope that everybody must seize (grasp at) the opportunity of traveling.

第十五天：HOW TO BE A GOOD CITIZEN 如何做一個好公民
My aim is to become a good citizen so as to be able to render service to the (my) country. However, to become a good citizen is not an easy thing. He has many duties to fulfill.The first duty of a good citizen is to love his country. He is to (must) be ready to sacrifice even his own life for the country.His second duty is to obey the law and help the government (to) maintain order. If everybody can do so, the country will be rich and strong (powerful).
我的志向是做一個好公民以便能給國家效力。然而，做一個好公民不是一件容易的事情。他有許多責(zé)任要盡。一個好公民第一件責(zé)任是愛他的國家。他須準(zhǔn)備為國家犧牲自己的生命。他第二件責(zé)任是服從法律并且?guī)椭S持治安。如果人人都能這樣做的話，國家必定富強。
第十六天：THE NATIONAL FLAG 國旗
It is the duty of every citizen to honor the national flag. Why? Because the national flag is the symbol of a (the) country. To respect it means to respect the country. In other words, if a man loves his country, he must love the national flag.
In school, the national flag is usually raised at a certain time every day. Then the principal, teachers, staff and students are to (must) stand before it and sing the national anthem. It is indeed extremely meaningful to attend such a ceremony.
尊敬國旗是每個公民的責(zé)任(義務(wù))。為什么?因為國旗是國家的象征。尊敬它意思就是尊敬國家。換句話說，如果一個人愛國，他必須愛國旗。
在學(xué)校里，通常每天定時要升旗。那時，校長，老師，教職員學(xué)生教師將恭敬地站在它前面并且唱國歌。參加此項儀式確實非常有意義。
第十七天：THE IMPORTANCE OF EDUCATION 教育的重要性
It is impossible for us to make our country rich and strong without developing education. Why? Because education gives people knowledge and teaches them how to become good citizens so as to be able to serve their country. No wonder they say that education decides the progress, prosperity and civilization of a country.At present (Nowadays) most countries in (of) the world are enforcing compulsory education. It is necessary for all kinds of people, both rich and poor, to receive education. Taiwan is an exception as well not.
我們不可能使我們的國家富強而不發(fā)展教育。為什么?因為教育給予人民知識并教他們?nèi)绾纬蔀楹霉褚员隳転閲倚ЯΑｋy怪，有人說教育決定一個國家的進步，繁榮與文化。現(xiàn)在世界大多數(shù)的國家都在實施強迫教育。所有各類人民不論貧富都必須接受教育。臺灣也不例外。
第十八天：INDUSTRY (DILIGENCE) 勤勉
It is a matter of course that industry will bring us success, wealth and good luck. I am sure that a hard-working person can always succeed in the work which he wants to do. This is unchangeable truth.
Idleness is the opposite of industry. It is the source of all evil. An idle man only enjoys playing and making pleasures. That he is doomed to failure is of no doubt. We should not follow his example.
勤勉會帶給我們成功，財富和好運乃是當(dāng)然之事。我確信一個苦干的人終是能夠做成功他所要做的工作。這是不易之定理。
懶惰是勤勉的反面。它是萬惡之源泉。一個懶惰的人只享受玩耍和尋樂。他命運注定失敗是毫無疑問的。我們不應(yīng)學(xué)他的榜樣。
第十九天：MY NATIVE TOWN 我的故鄉(xiāng)
My native town is X. We have settled down here since my grandfather was a child. In other words, my family has lived here for more than one hundred years.
It is a small village. There are about one thousand inhabitants. Most of them are farmers. The mode of their living is very simple. However, they have already possessed television sets and refrigerators. They made up their minds to live a modern life.
我的故鄉(xiāng)是X。我們自從祖父是小孩時，就定居在此地。換句話說，我們家人在此地已經(jīng)住了一百余年了。
這個小村莊。居民大約有一千人。他們大部分是農(nóng)夫。他們的生活方式很簡單。然而，他們已擁有電視和冰箱。他們下定決心要過一個現(xiàn)代的生活。
