A trir to the country 鄉村游記
英文:
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.
While we were walking along the road, the sun was shining brightly and the breeze was blowing gently. We saw the beautiful flowers smile (smiling) at us and heard the birds sing (singing) their sweet songs on the trees. The scenery was indeed very pretty (beautiful).
When we felt tired, we returned home. We saw Mother (our mother) wait (waiting) for us at the door.
譯文:
有一個星期日,我母親叫我帶小弟弟去鄉村游歷。她吩咐我要好好照料他。
當我們沿著道路行走的時候,太陽燦爛地照耀著,微風輕輕地吹著。我們看見美麗的花兒對我們微笑著,并聽見鳥兒在樹上唱著悅耳的歌曲,風景實十分美麗。
當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。

Be Patriotic 要愛國
英文:
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.
譯文:
要使國家富強是每個公民的責任。為了達到此目的,必須愛國。我認為這是一條不易的定理。
一個學生如何才能愛國呢?我發覺答復很簡單明了。他必須用功讀書并積儲知識以便將來服務國家。如果每個學生能按照我所說的去做,國家一定會富強。

The value of time 愛惜時光
英文:
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.
譯文:
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。
