【答案】例文：
Dear Peter,
I’m glad to know that you are interested in traditional Chinese culture. As you know, Chinese idioms play an important role in our culture. Now I would like to introduce to you an idiom: Plugging Ears While Stealing a Bell.
This idiom means that it is impossible not to let others know when one has done something bad. Don’t deceive oneself or others when doing anything. The idea behind this idiom is that a man covers his ears and steals a bell, thinking he can’t hear, and neither can anyone else.
In a word, Chinese idioms are very important because they embody (体现) the wisdom of life of the Chinese nation. And we can learn a lot from them.
Yours,
Li Hua

Have you heard of the saying “Where there is a will, there is a way” It means if you are really determined to do something, however difficult it might be, you will eventually find a way to do it well. The important point is that you must have the will to achieve success.
Take me for example. Speaking English used to be difficult for me. In Grade 7, I couldn’t speak English clearly and my classmates always laughed at me. With my English teacher’s help, I made plans to improve it. I read English texts aloud for an hour every morning. I also made a foreign friend online. I talked to her twice a week. She helped me correct the way I spoke English. Day by day my spoken English improved a lot. Last month I won first prize in my school’s English Speech Contest.
This experience has taught me that nothing is too difficult as long as you make the decision to do it, just the saying goes, “Where there is a will, there is a way”.

【答案】例文
Looking back at these past three years, I had a lot of sweet memories.
Last summer vacation, I decided to learn to swim. At first, I was afraid of swimming in the water. I didn’t feel good in the water. But the coach said he would protect me. Then I started swimming, but I couldn’t swim forward at all. With the coach’s help, I knew how to move and swim with my hands and legs. A few days later, I could swim by myself.

Unit 6 An old man tried to move the mountains
1、一个木头人，年岁长了，见人见多了，活了。木匠一直把他藏在家里，太闷了。终于有一天，他逃了出去。
他成天见木匠锯锯刨刨，就想试试自己行不行。于是，他就去锯树。大树忍不住开口说了话：“木头人，你也曾经是一棵树，可别忘了本。”
2、一粒尘土，被风吹上了天。
尘土居高临下地在天空飞舞。它高兴地大叫：“我上天了！我上天了！”
尘土从高处往下望，觉得自己很伟大，仿佛天底下的一切都比它小。于是，尘土就有了天马行空的感觉，自由自在地在天空中翱翔。
风终于停了，尘土又落回到地面，一切辉煌都成为过去。它的上天，不说明它伟大，只能说明它的渺小。
3、纸、墨、笔、砚为了一个共同的事业，走到一起来了。瞧这哥们四个，白的白，黑的黑；硬的硬，软的软；方的方，长的长。长相各异，脾气不同，咋就走到一起来了？
为了一个共同的事业。
纸是宣纸，墨是徽墨，笔来自浙江，砚来自广东，隔山隔水，非亲非故，咋就走到一起来了？
为了一个共同的事业。
因为他们团结，所以被人们并称为“宝”。
4、人们不知道桶里装的是油，还以为是一桶水。因为从外表观察，不起风不起浪的，根本看不出桶里是油，更像是一桶水。
当人们把油倒掉，重新装上水，人们又以为桶里有很多很多的油。因为这时水面上漂着一层油花，谁见了都会说桶里有油。
桶里有油是不假，只是那油不过是浮在水面上的薄薄的一层油花。

Story with no end
Bastian Balthazar Bux is a boy with a problem. In fact, he has many problems. His father is doing a bad job raising him, but that’s because Dad has a problem of his own: he cannot get over the death of his wife. Bastian’s life at school is troubled too. The other kids pick on him, leading him to skip school a lot.
It doesn’t sound like a fantasy story so far, does it Fantasy is supposed to take us away from the unpleasantness of life, not rub our noses in it. But this is just where the fantasy begins. One day, running away from bullies at school, Bastian hides in a bookshop. There he finds a book that appeals to him, and he steals it and takes it home.
Bastian becomes immersed in the book. It drags him in, just as we are dragged into fantasy books. The book he reads, like the book we read, is called The Neverending Story.
The story spellbinds Bastian. It tells of a land called Fantastica. Fantastica is sick, and the person most sick is its ruler, The Childlike Empress.
The reason for the sickness is a kind of war that is being waged on Fantastica by a force called Nothing. The Empress asks a boy, Atreyu, to help her battle Nothing before it conquers Fantastica.
But what of Bastian, sitting hidden away, reading the story from his stolen book He becomes part of the tale himself. The Empress gives Bastian a vital job: to join forces with Atreyu in the struggle against Nothing. Now this book, which began as the story of a lonely, bullied, unhappy boy, really becomes a fantasy.
But even though Bastian has now entered the pages of a fantasy fiction book, he has brought his troubles with him. He has problems dealing with the challenges brought by his new life. When The Childlike Empress gives him a magic gem called Auryn, he abuses it for selfish ends.
Once Bastian finds his true self, he can help the Empress, Atreyu and Fantastica and make his way back into the real world.
Like Bastian, we can find ways to solve our troubles with enough commitment. In The Neverending Story, young readers can find a wonderful fantasy that also offers a positive message about their own world.
