I like dancing very much. I learn to dance from four years old. Until now, there are already nine years. I take part in many activities, because I think I want to perform in front of people. I have a good dance teacher. She dances very well. She is strict with me. Once I make mistakes, she points it out directly. I learn a lot from her. Now, we are good friends. She always encourages me. I think dance is good to me. I make many dancing friends. And it’s good way to build my body.

我很喜欢跳舞，四岁的时候我就开始学习舞蹈了，到现在已经有九年了。我参加很多活动因为我觉得我想要在人们面前表现自己。我有一个很优秀的舞蹈老师，她舞跳得非常好。她对我很严厉，一旦我出错了她就会严厉的指出来，我从她那里学到了很多。现在我们是好朋友，她经常鼓舞我。我觉得跳舞对我很有好处，我交到了很多舞友。同时，舞蹈也是锻炼身体的好方法。

When the summer comes, the weather is so hot, it is rarely to see the rain. Today, when I wake up, I find the weather is chilly, it is going to rain. I am so happy, I miss the rain so much. Suddenly, the rain drops from the sky, I ran out of the house, looking at the sky, dancing with the rain. I feel so cool, then all my weariness has gone.
当夏天到来的时候，天气很热，很难见到雨。今天，在我起床的时候，我发现天气有点凉，准备下雨了。我很开心，我很想念雨。突然，天下起了雨，我跑出房子，看着天空，与雨共舞。我觉得很凉爽，我所有的倦意都消散了。

In China, the woman who is more than 40 year-old is called Da Ma, it has to be admitted that Da Ma is a powerful group, they own certain money at hand, we always hear about the news about them buying house everywhere or flying to the foreign country to buy the brands. The large group now has invaded the square at night, when the night comes, several groups of Da Ma go to the square, playing the music and dance until 9 o’clock. About few years ago, only few women would do this, but now, as the economy develops, people live a better life, so they begin to find entertainment. Da Ma have made the square dance popular, when we go out at night, we may find them dance everywhere. I think square dance is a good way for people to get exercise, they can keep fit.

在中国，超过四十岁的妇女叫做大妈，不得不承认，大妈是一个很有权利的群体，她们手头上有一定的金钱，我们总是看到大妈到处买房子或者是飞到国外购买名牌的新闻。这个庞大的群体现在已经攻占了晚上的广场，当夜晚来临的时候，几个大妈团体就会走到广场里，开着音乐，一直跳到九点。大约几年前，只有少数的妇女会这样做，但是现在，随着经济的发展，人们过上了好日子，因此他们开始寻找娱乐。大妈让广场舞变得流行，当我们晚上走出去的时候，我们可以发现她们无处不在跳舞。我觉得广场舞对人们来说是锻炼的好方式，可以保持健康。

There are many ways of traveling. People may travel by plane if they want to travel far and reach their destination in a shorter time. It is the most comfortable but expensive way. Most people travel by train because it is a less expensive way but the compartments are cramped and stuffy. Bus journey is a cheaper way but it is spent on narrow, bumpy roads which are crowded with traffic. Trips by ship may be the cheapest and most comfortable way but it takes too much time.

I like traveling by bike. I can set out when I like and stop when I like. I can go wherever I like so that I can enjoy delightful spots rarely visited by other travelers. When I feel tired, I sit down by the bike and have a good rest. Besides, I can save much money for tickets and much time in waiting for the train or bus. I can cover more places by riding a bike than going on foot.

Traveling by bike is good to health. It is really a sort of good exercise to strengthen ones muscles and to test ones will. Moreover, it ings no pollution to the air. So it helps to clean the atmosphere.

Square dance has been a part of Chinese culture. The retired women and men will take dance as regular exercise early in the morning or evening in the square. But the young generation doesn't take it as a cool thing, and they feel embarrassed to show up in the team. But in the foreign countries, the media speaks highly of the square dance. They think the old people are doing the great thing, they are enjoying life and the teams are so huge that they are going a good job in organizing work. When the rhythm of dance was presented in front of the young people from America. They thought it was cool and must be the dance in the night club. It turned out that square dance is cool and the young people should give some supports to the old people.
广场舞已经成为中国文化的一部分。退休的男性和女性会在清晨或晚上在广场上跳舞，作为常规的锻炼。但年轻一代并不把这当作一件很酷的事，他们觉得出现在其中就显得很难为情了。但在国外，媒体赞扬广场舞，他们认为老人在做着很棒的事情，在享受生活，队伍是如此的庞大，他们的组织工作做得很好。当音乐在美国年轻人面前响起时，他们觉得很酷，以为是在俱乐部的舞蹈。事实证明，广场舞蹈是很酷的，年轻人应该给老人们一些支持。

Square dance is very popular in China now, it is read by a group of women whose ages are below the 40s. As such a group women don’t have many ways of entertainment, they dance in the square when the night comes as a habit. But more and more people are annoyed by the square dance women, they hope that the women can stop their dancing habit.

广场舞现在在中国很流行，这是由一群年纪在40岁以上的妇女引导的。由于这些群体的女人没有什么娱乐方式，她们在夜晚来临的'时候在广场里跳舞，形成了习惯。但是越来越多的对广场舞的大妈赶到困扰，他们希望大妈能停止跳舞的习惯。

On the one hand, for the women who get used to dancing in the square, they argue that they have worked for many years since they are retired now, they have the right to enjoy the rest of their lives. It is true that these women have the right to enjoy their lives, they deserve to entertain themselves after so many years working.

一方面，对于那些习惯在你广场跳舞的大妈来说，她们认为经过了那么多年的工作，现在她们已经退休了，她们有权利享受余下的生活。确实，这些妇女有权利去享受生活，她们值得去自我娱乐，经过了这么多年的工作。

On the other hand, the people who live near the square complain that the music disturbs them all night, they can’t stand the loud noise. These are most people’s inner worlds, when they watch TV at home, the loud music bothers them to hear the voice. For the children, they can’t focus their minds on their studies.

另一方面，那些住在广场附近的人抱怨音乐整个晚上打扰他们，他们不能忍受这么高的杂音。这是大部分人的心声，当他们在家看电视的时候，大声的杂音打扰着他们去听声音。对于孩子们来说，他们无法集中精力来学习。

The women should consider other people, they can dance in a place where is far away from the residential areas, in that case, it is a win-win situation.

妇女应该考虑别人的感受，他们可以在远离居民区的地方跳舞，这样的话，这是个双赢的决定。
