在我上初中的时候，我搬到了城市和我父母一起住，我一直都很怀念我的家乡，我无法忘记那美丽的群山和清澈的河水。因此在这个暑假，我回到了家乡，当我看到那熟悉的乡村小路时，我很开心，我知道我在亲近着大自然。我呼吸着新鲜的空气，我闻到了稻草的气味，我再次看到了群山和清澈的河水。所有的这一切让我放松，大自然就在我面前。我希望这里的风景一直不变，一旦我有时间，就会回来享受大自然。

We often say that the earth is our homeland and human society es from nature. Therefore, I think our society is a part of nature. People should live harmoniously with nature. All the materials we need to live with e from nature, but we should also repay the nature, rather than blindly solicit. For example, we should plant more trees and take actions to protect the environment. In addition, we have to control population. Due to excessive population growth, human beings require much more natural resources than before, which lead to excessive pressure on nature. In order to long-term development, the population growth must be controlled. We all e from nature which is our homeland, so we must try best to protect it.
我们常常说地球是我们的家园，人类社会也是从自然界分解出来的。因此，我认为我们的社会是自然界的一部分，人们应该与自然和谐共处。我们所需的所有生活材料都来自于自然，但是我们也要回馈自然，而不是一味地索取。例如，我们应该多种树，要采取有效措施保护好环境。此外，人口数量也应得到控制。由于人口过多，人类需要的生存材料也大大增加，导致了自然界所承受的压力过大。为了更长远地发展，人口的增长速度必须要得到控制。我们都来自自然，把自然界也称为我们的家园，所以我们必须要尽最大的努力去保护它。

There is a beautiful nature park, Nanguo Peach Garden, in my hometown.
In the park, there is a river. There is a idge over the river. There aren’t any tall buildings in the park. You can see some small animals, such as rabbits, butterflies, birds and so on in the nature park. There are many trees beside the river. We can read books and have a rest under the trees.
The water is clean, the air is fresh. The nature park is so nice. I like it very much!

When I was very small, I lived in my hometown, which was a beautiful countryside. I had a good memory there. The green trees and the blue sky brought me great comfort. When I walked along the road, I could see so many birds flying in the sky. But when I moved to the city, there were all buildings around me. I barely saw birds in the sky. I had less chance to close to nature. In the future, more children will be born and live in the big cities, who don't have much chances to appreciate the beauty of nature. What a pity. The worse situation happens in the countryside is the pollution. The river is no longer clean and the rubbish can be seen everywhere. We are hurting the environment. If we don't protect the nature, then we are hurting ourselves.在我很小的时候，我住在我的家乡，那是一个美丽的乡村。那里有着我美好的记忆，绿树，蓝天带给我极大的舒适。当我走在路上的时候，我可以看到很多鸟在天上飞。但当我搬到城市以后，那里周围都是高楼，我几乎看不到鸟儿在天空中飞翔。我没什么机会亲近大自然。在未来，更多的孩子将在大城市出生并生活在那里，他们没有太多的机会去欣赏到大自然的美。真遗憾。最糟糕的情况是农村污染，河水不再干净，垃圾随处可见。我们正在伤害环境。如果我们不保护自然，那么就是在伤害自己。

I hope the scenery won’t change all the time, once I have time, I will come back to enjoy it.在我上初中的时候，我搬到了城市和我父母一起住，我一直都很怀念我的家乡，我无法忘记那美丽的群山和清澈的河水。因此在这个暑假，我回到了家乡，当我看到那熟悉的乡村小路时，我很开心，我知道我在亲近着大自然。我呼吸着新鲜的空气，我闻到了稻草的气味，我再次看到了群山和清澈的河水。所有的这一切让我放松，大自然就在我面前。我希望这里的风景一直不变，一旦我有时间，就会回来享受大自然。

Through the changes in the ways of making a living in a family over several generations, man has been warned against waste of natural resources and emphasizing the urgent need to preserve these resources.
Ever since man appeared on the earth, man's survival has been heavily relied on nature. Almost everything we use in our everyday life comes fromm'notate, ranging from the food we eat, the water we drink, to the wood which is made into furniture. With the development of technology and population growth, the amount and range of materials used has increased at an alarming rate.
However, natural resources are not inexhaustible. Some reserves are already on the brink of exhaustion and there is no hope of replacing them. The widespread water shortage is an example in point. If man continued to squander natural resources with no thought for the future, the later generations would be in danger. It is up to us to take effective measures before the situation gets out of hand.
经过几代人谋生方式的变化，人类已经得到警告，要反对浪费自然资源，急需保护这些资源。
自从人类在地球上出现以来，人类的生存就一直依赖自然。我们日常生活所用的一切，从吃的东西、喝的水到做家具的木材，几乎都来自自然。随着科学技术的发展以及人口的增长，所用物品的数量和范围以令人担忧的速度在增长。
然而，自然资源并不是无穷无尽的。一些储量已经到了穷尽的边缘，而且没有希望替换它们。分布广泛的水的缺乏就是一个例子。如果人类不为将来着想继续浪费自然资源，后代就会受到威胁。我们应该采取有效措施，防止形势恶化。

When summer holiday comes, I always go back to my hometown and spend the time with my grandparents. I like the life there, it is so simple and happy. Living in the countryside, I feel the peace in my heart. It seems the days become longer. In the morning, I hear the cock make out the sound, as if it is singing, then I wake up. Sometimes I will go to the mountain and I can hear some birds singing. I enjoy listening to these birds' sound. I am so close to the nature. I love everything that the nature brings. The green tree, the colorful flower, the clean water even the fresh air. I find its beauty.
暑假的时候，我总是会回到老家跟爷爷奶奶在一起。我喜欢那里的生活，它是如此的简单和快乐。住在乡下，我心里感受到了平静。在这里的日子似乎变得更长一些。早上，我听到公鸡的声音，好像是在唱歌，之后我就醒过来了。有时我会跑到山上去，可以听到一些鸟儿唱歌。我喜欢它们的声音。我是如此的接近大自然。我爱大自然带来的一切。绿色的树，五彩缤纷的花朵，干净的水甚至是新鲜的空气。我找到了它的美。

2) interpret the message conveyed in the picture

［参考范文］A cry for Nature Conservation
As is depicted in the picture entitled “cries from our descendants”, a boy is calling on his ancestors — citizens today throughout the world — to ensure a better environment and a greater abundance of natural resources for future generations. With a forced smile on the face, he is crying bitterly and desperately. Such a scene can just put us deep in thought.
The drawer of the picture intends to force us to ask ourselves some very thought provoking questions concerning nature conservation. Are we willing to be more conservative in our life requirements, and are we willing to moderate our use of the world's resources for our descendants? Can we, in fact, reduce our consumption of petroleum, coal and electricity, in order to reduce the pollution and environmental pressures created by excessive energy use and to allow others to live a better life? Are we willing to spend more money for pollution control and environmental restoration? Are we willing to devote more effort to recycling? Can we moderate our demand for fat rich diets and super processed convenience food? These are some of the central issues of the present?day world, and ones on which the quality of present and future environments may depend.
As citizens in the modern world, it is our duty to give thought to the living environment and conditions of our offspring. We must take positive actions to remedy the worsening situation, which is sadly threatening to ruin every corner of the world. Only in this way can the boy stop crying and show some respect to his ancestors.

To Regain the Nature of Goodness —— Review of ‘Oliver Twist’
Oliver Twist, one of the most famous works of Charles Dickens’, is a novel reflecting the tragic fact of the life in Britain in 18th century.
The author who himself was born in a poor family wrote this novel in his twenties with a view to reveal the ugly masks of those cruel criminals and to expose the horror and violence hidden underneath the narrow and dirty streets in London.
The hero of this novel was Oliver Twist, an orphan, who was thrown into a world full of poverty and crime. He suffered enormous pain, such as hunger, thirst, beating and abuse. While reading the tragic experiences of the little Oliver, I was shocked by his sufferings. I felt for the poor boy, but at the same time I detested the evil Fagin and the brutal Bill. To my relief, as was written in all the best stories, the goodness eventually conquered devil and Oliver lived a happy life in the end. One of the plots that attracted me most is that after the theft, little Oliver was allowed to recover in the kind care of Mrs. Maylie and Rose and began a new life. He went for walks with them, or Rose read to him, and he worked hard at his lessons. He felt as if he had left behind forever the world of crime and hardship and poverty.
How can such a little boy who had already suffered oppressive affliction remain pure in body and mind? The reason is the nature of goodness. I think it is the most important information implied in the novel by Dickens—he believed that goodness could conquer every difficulty. Although I don’t think goodness is omnipotent, yet I do believe that those who are kind-hearted live more happily than those who are evil-minded.
For me, the nature of goodness is one of the most necessary character for a person. Goodness is to humans what water is to fish. He who is without goodness is an utterly worthless person. On the contrary, as the famous saying goes, ‘The fragrance always stays in the hand that gives the rose’, he who is with goodness undoubtedly is a happy and useful person. People receiving his help are grateful to him and he also gets gratified from what he has done, and thus he can do good to both the people he has helped and himself.
To my disappointment, nowadays some people seem to doubt the existence of the goodness in humanity. They look down on people’s honesty and kindness, thinking it foolish of people to be warm-hearted. As a result, they show no sympathy to those who are in trouble and seldom offer to help others. On the other hand, they attach importance to money and benefit. In their opinion, money is the only real object while emotions and morality are nihility. If they cannot get profit from showing their ‘kindness’, they draw back when others are faced with trouble and even hit a man when he is down. They are one of the sorts that I really detest.
Francis Bacon said in his essay, ‘Goodness, of all virtues and dignities of the mind, is the greatest, being the character of the Deity, and without it, man is a busy, mischievous, wretched thing, no better than a kind of vermin.’
