　　那些逝去的青春 Those Fading Youth

　　Every time when I go home by train, I feel very uncomfortable, because I have to smell the terrible air, people always smoke, making the public place smell bad. Since the motor train operates, I feel so happy, I find the train is very clean, the air smells good, no people smoke in the train. I feel so surprised, this is the ideal environment for me, in the long journey, all the people are so polite. Smoking in the public place should be banned, the bad smell not only makes people sick, but also does harm to their health. In the long journey, people need to keep a good environment, so they have a good mood.

　　如果我是一隻鳥 If I Were a Bird

　　I like dreaming. Sometimes I will think if I were a bird, it would be so good. If I were a bird, I won't need to go to school and have class everyday. And I also do not need to do so much homework. If I were a bird, I can fly freely. I can go wherever I want. I can fly to New York to visit my pen friend. If I were a bird, I can sleep on the tree. I can breathe the fresh air every day I wake up. How wonderful it would be to a bird.

　　我喜歡做夢。我有時候會在想要是我是一隻鳥，那該有多好啊。如果我是一隻鳥，我就不用每天去學校上課了。我也不用寫那麼多的作業。如果我是一隻鳥，我就可以自由自在的飛翔。我可以去任何我想去的地方，我可以去看望我在紐約的筆友。如果我是一隻鳥，我就可以睡在樹上。每天醒來的時候呼吸一下新鮮的空氣。如果我是一隻鳥，那該有多麼好啊。
