不喜欢的规则

One rule I dislike is that the school dormitory and libraries close at 10 pm. (everything on campus
including) This rule is there to make sure students get enough sleep and maintain a good balance
between studying and relaxing. Also, it helps with security and maintenance of school facilities.
However, I find this rule a little too restricted, especially for those who prefer to study or work
late into the night. From time to time, I need more time to finish my assignments and prepare for
exams, while the early closing time makes it difficult for me. This is frustrating, because I believe I
could get more work done if the library or other spaces on campus could open longer. I hope that
the school can change situations. I suggest the library to extend its hours to midnight during peak
study periods, such as the week before finals and before project deadline. As for the dormitory, I
would propose the dorm to allow students stay in the common area after 10pm, where they can
get their work done quietly, following certain guidances. This way, those who require excess time
can do so, while maintaining a peaceful environment for other students to sleep.

饺子
One traditional product I really like is the dumplings which we usually have during the Chinese
New Year. I first tried dumplings when I was about 3 or 4 year old. During the CNY, my family
always make dumplings together. I remembered helping my parents filling the dumpling
wrappers with meat and vegetables and then watching them boiled or pan fried. From then on,
dumplings had become one of my favorite foods. The typical of making dumplings is to fill the
dumpling wrapper which we made ourselves, such as ground beef, pork or fish flesh, mixed with
vegetables like cabbige, carrots and also mushroom. The stuffing is often seasoned with soy
sauce, ginger, garlic, sesame oil and then the wrappers are folded and sealed into a half-moon
shape. After that, they are cooked by boiling, steaming or pan frying. What I love about
dumplings is not only how they taste, but also the process of making them with my family and
friends. Dumpling comes in different flavors, so there's always one that suits your preference.
Sharing dumplings during holidays makes them special, because they symbolise good luck, unity
and prosperity.

毛绒玩具
The toy I usually have fun with is a stuffed Teddi bear I won from a ring tossed game at Universal
Studio. I was 8 years old when I got it and it quickly became my favorite toy. I usually play with it
alone, but sometimes my friends are invited over. I'd share my Teddi bear during the playtime.
The reason I like it so much is that Teddi bear's my best friend. I would talk it , tell it all my little
secrets. Sometimes I even pretended it to be part of adventurous Journey. I always feel safe,
comfortable and peaceful inside to have it by my side. Especially when I feel lonely, I just wanted
have someone to talk to. I feel really attached to Teddi, because it's not just a toy, it's also the
friend that I can trust. Every time I look at it, it reminds me of the joy of winning it at the carnival.
It's not just a toy to play with, I feel connected to it and it brings me a lot of comfort. That's what I
value the most.
iPad
When I was a kid, I usually l played with my Pad. I got it at 8 or 9 years old and it quickly became
it my favourite toy. It wasn't just an ordinary toy. It was a device for all sorts of activities including
games like angry birds because it was fun but also challenging. In addition to , I also spent tons of
time playing Snake, Tetris, CandyCrush and PlantsVsZombies. These games were so addictive that
I could easily lose track of time playing them. I mostly play with my iPad alone, but I also use it to
stay connected with my parents. Whenever I miss them, I simply wanted to talk to them. I could
call them through videos or voice call. Even though they weren't around, it made me feel close to
them. On top of that, the iPad wasn't just for fun. It helped me learn useful knowledge through
educational apps. Eg. I learned English vocabulary, improved my calculation skills and even
explored subjects like science and history. I found it not just a toy, but also a tool that helps me
grow, learn new things and have fun at the same time.

堵车
One day when I was on my way to school, I got stuck in a horrible traffic congestion, and I ended
up being late for school. It was a Monday morning, there was a severe car accident. An electric
ride sharing car crashed into a Volkswagen SUV. It was during the rush hour. The electric car was
trying to change lanes, but didn't see the SUV coming, so they collided. As a result, I was stuck in
the bus for over an hour. I took out my phone to listen to music and played video games for a
while and checked my message to see whether my friends were worrying. I was getting nervous
because I knew I could be late for school. Frustration also came to me since the first class was
crucial for me, but I might miss it. When I finally got to school, I was already late for the class.
And because I was late, I had to wait til the end of the class and caught up with my classmates. It
was a really stressful day.

节省时间的改变
One change that I made in daily life and saved my time was switching from the bus to the ride
sharng service. I started doing this about 6 months ago, which was a game changer. Before that, I
used to take the bus every morning. However it was really slow during the rush hours. It
frequently stopped at every corner and didn't go staright to my school. I had to change the route,
which took up a lot of time. Sometimes I ended up being late for school because of traffic jam or
long wait. I decided to try the ride healing service. First I wasn't sure about this since it costed
much more than buses. But I figured that if it could save me time, it would be all worthy. So I cut
back on my spending on snacks and drinks. I felt it was a great trade off. Now the ride sharing
service would pick me up outside my apartment. I don't have to make any stop along the way. It
saves a lot of time. Now I can get to school taking half the time I used to take. Plus, I don't need
to worry about delay or changing buses. I can always arrive on time or even early. Though it's a
more expensive option than taking the bus, but it saves me precious time in the morning. I can
better stay focused when I am in class.

别人送的衣服
One item of clothing that someone gave me is a long-down jacket. It was a gift from my dad. He
gave it to me 2 months ago as the weather was changing from autumn to winter. The jacket is
black, with a simple but elegant design. It is made of high quality down. It's warm and light-
weight. Retain the heat and keep the cold out. It offers excellent insulation. It reaches down to
my knees and is perfect for winter especially when it's freezing cold. My dad gave it to me
because he noticed my old jacket wasn't warm enough. He wanted to make sure I stayed
comfortable and warm during the cold weather. He knew how much I hate being cold. This is not
only a practical gift, but also a thoughtful jester that shows how much he looks out for me. I've
been wearing it ever since I got it. It quickly become one of my favorite clothing item in winter.

给朋友买礼物
I really want to buy a long down jacket for my friend Alan. He comes from a lower middle class
family whose parents are unemployed/ laid off last year, so they cannot afford to buy him new
clothes. In winter he wears only a thin baseball jacket, which isn't enough to keep him warm. I
used to see him shivering in the cold, which is really heart-breaking to see. We've been close
friends for years. We met back in elementary school. We've been inseparable ever since. We
hang out almost every weekend. Whether it's studying together, chatting or grabbing a cup of
coffee. Anyway, I wanted to buy him a long-down jacket, because I know how much he struggles
in his old jacket. A good, warm long down jacket would not only keep him warm, but also make
him feel loved and cared for. It will be a practical and meaningful gift for him. For that reason...

帮助 concentrate 的事
I usually listen to instrumental music especially classicals. I discover that music with lyrics can be
distracting, so instrumental music works best for me. This kind of music helps me block out any
background noise and created a calm and focused atmosphere, which is crucial for me to get into
a productive mindset. On top of that, I normally study early in the morning or late at night. Those
are the times I'm concentrated, because nobody disturbs me. I don't get Wechat messages from
my classmates. No one asks me to play games with me. And my parents are still asleep, so they
don't bother me either. I typically use this time for challenging tasks that require deep
concentration, such as reviewing for the finals, having online courses and exams. I tend to avoid
studying right after school since I need some time to relax and play video games for a while
before I can get into the productive and efficient mode. After all it's really tough for me to stay
focus on work after a long tiring day.

北京
A city that is great to live in is BJ, which is a vibrant place. It offers sth for everyone, whether it's
cuture shopping or education. Local people in BJ are super warm, friendly and helpful. Even
though, the pace of life is fast there/ people live a fast paced life. every one's willing to lend their
hands. If I get the chance, I would love to stay in BJ to study and work in the future. Although I
was born and raised in QD, I know BJ pretty well because we've learned a lot about BJ. I've visited
BJ several times, Plus, I have quite a few relatives living there. As the capital of China, BJ has a rich
history with historical landmarks . It's home to the Forbidden city, the temple of heaven and the
Great Wall. These are must see places if you want to learn about the past of China. Me
personally, I enjoy walking through the traditional alley ways called Hutong to explore the city
where most the buildings there are over 100 years old. BJ isn't just about the past. It's also a
modern metropolice. You can shop in huge shopping malls like WangFuJing, SanLiTun where you
can find luxury brands like LouieVetown. On top of that, the food there is also amazing. In
addition to famous Peking duck, there's also appealing ZhaJiangMian noodles with soy bean
paste, fermented soy milk and stewed pork organs. What's more, it's really easy to get around
the entire city thanks to convenient transportation. The metro is extensive to everywhere of the
city. Last but not least, BJ has excellent educational resources. There are pre like Tsinghua and
Peking University. It's not only a great place for top educational facilities, but also offters great
primary and secondary schools. Living there means to be exposed to most advanced

talktive. Chat about anything Whether astronomy, geography, politics or military matters.
especially BJ taxi drivers. They seem to know everything domestic scandals and rumors. They
freely share what they know with their . So when you are in a taxi, not only do you get the real
taste of BJ, but also listen to various rumors and stories about big guys, which is really interesting.

想共事的家人
The family member that I wanna work with is my father. He is not only reliable but also a
resourceable talented programmer with years of coding experience. Even though we haven't
worked together before, I wish to start a game development studio with him, just like Supercell,
which is known for creating highly successful mobile games. We are both excited about creating
games that can captivate millions of players around the globe. My father's programing expertise
will be a huge asset in game development, such as the construction of framework. I could focus
on game design, marketing and team management. I believe my father and I can build a dynamic,
vibrant and energetic team and make our dream come true.

长城之旅
One time I remember being in a new place was during a family trip in BJ and we went to the
Great Wall. I was so excited because I had been looking forward to this trip. Just like others, I has
seen the pictures of the Great Wall on books and on the Internet. But I never thought I would
stand on it. I went to the Mutianyu section which is one of the most well preserved section. We
took a cable car up way to the top. When I step off the cable car, I was amazed by the site. TGW
stretched across the mountain ridges, winding up and down the mountain like a dragon. The
weather was great that day with clear skies and comfortable breeze, which makes this whole
experience even more unique. The view around us was equally stunning. On the one side was
green forests and on the other side was steep mountain slope. As I was walking along TGW I felt a
sense of awe and the scene was hard to forget. I also noticed that there were ancient stone
blocks. Some of the stairs are steep and narrow, making the trip even more exciting.

好朋友
I really enjoy spending time with my friend John. We met in the gym through a mutual friend. We
were both taking the same spinning class. That's how we started talking. At first we just have
casual talks. But over time we discovered we had a lot in common, particularly when it comes to
body building and fitness. We quickly became friends. We started hanging out. John is the most
supportive person I've ever known. He's there for me when I need help. Whether it's for advice
or just simply talk things through. He super positive and brightside in any situation. What I like
most about him is how genuine he is and how much he really cares about my well-being. We do a
lot of things together like trying new healthy recipes and catching up over coffee. Lately we spend
a lot of time on my weight loss journey. I've been working very hard to stay healthy and John has
been helping me every step along the way. He suggests new workouts for me and keeps me
motivated. He even joins me for morning run. The greatest part is John always find a way to make
the workout enjoyable.

LM, my parents took me to ML national forest park. Though I was born and raised here and it's
only 5-min drive away, I've never been there before. I don't really like any sports, hiking or going
to the park. In my spare time, I'd like to stay at home, playing video game, watching TV series or
reading books. But my parents think my lifestyle isn't active enough. They wanna to change that.
So on my mom's birthday last month, I asked her what she wanted for birthday presents. She told
me that she wanted nothing but to go hiking with me. That was exactly what I did. And I have to
say we had such a nice weekend together. We started our hiking in the morning when it's still a
little chilly. The park was not crowded, super beautiful with all kinds of trees, flowers and plants
along the trail. After hiking for several hours, we reached the observation platform on the top.
We could see the entire city of QD and the nearby coastline. We took a picture together. I also
took some selfies and posted them on my Wechat Moment. I really enjoyed the day , because it's
an opportunity to stay away from the noise in the city and it's refreshing to immerse myself in the
nature. I never thought hiking with family was such a great experience. I should have come more
often.

有趣老年人 音乐老师
There's a senior citizen who lives an interesting life named John. He's a music teacher orginally
from Germany, now living in a small village in China teaching music in a primary school. We first
met on a flight and John told me his stories. He grew up in musical family. Both his parents are
musicians. He can play multiple instruments, like the piano, violin, flute and he has won several
important awards. Later he became a professor at Stanford. Despite all his achievements, he felt
empty inside. One day he felt strong calling and decided to quit his job. He flew to China and
spent a few years at a NGO, helping underprivileged children. Eventually he became a music
teacher at a rural primary school. He teaches music to children whose parents worked for away in
cities. These left-behind children often feel isolated and neglected. Through his classes, John
makes them feel loved and give a sence of belongings. He believes music is able to heal and uplift
spirits. He does everything he can to make sure these children feel valued and supported. So, I
admire John very much. He has great compassion and kindness. He makes real differences in life
of children his teaches.
理想的公寓
I've been dreaming of living in a comfortable apartment in a high-rise building in the city center
which is by the coast. I would enjoy the city skyline and the stunning scenery of oceans. Living
here means I'd be close to school, shopping malls, restaurants and amusing sites. As for
decoration, the apartment will be stylish and modern with minimalist design. It would have floor
to ceiling windows, let in lots of natural light. Walls would be painted in soft neutral colors like
tiffany blue, creating a refreshing vibe. To be more detailed, the living room would be spacious
with a comfy sofa, a big TV, a sound system/ theater speakers, a Playstation 5 and XBOX. You
know, school can be really stressful, so I'd like to play video games after long day at school. Plus,
the kitchen would be open-plan and equiped with all kinds of lateset appliances like oven,
microwave, fridge and dishwasher, making it easy to cook without worrying about doing the
dishes later. There would also be a small dining area where I can invite friends for meals. In
addition, I'd like to have a balcony which is big enough for several chairs and a coffee table. It
would be great outside in the evening, enjoying the night view and fresh air. What's more, I
would love to have a gym in the building so that I wouldn't have to go far to find a place for
exercise. That being said, I don't want the apartment too big. All I need are 2 bedrooms. One for
me and another guest room for my friends or relatives when they visit.

丢手机 难受经历
I remember I lost my smart phone several months ago. It was a truly upseting/ frustrating
experience. My smart phone is super important to me, not only because it 's expensive, I saved
money of months to buy it, but also because it contains a lot of important files and data on it,
such as photos, notes and contacts. Losing it is such a big deal for me. It happened on my way
home on the subway. After a long day of classes, I was really exhausted. The whole time I was
mindlessly chatting with my friends. When I arrived at my station, I quickly grabbed my backpack
and got off. It wasn't until I got home that I realized my phone was missing. I felt nervous, anxious
and panicked. I thought I probably lost it because I was in such a hurry to get off the subway. I
retraced my steps back to the subway station. I even called the LAF but no luck. The whole
experience is overwhelming and annoying. I felt really upset and disappointed, since I had to
spend time and money to get a new one. On top of that, I lost important data because I hadn't
backed things up. The experience taught me an important lesson that I must be more careful
with my things and always backing up my important files and documents.

编程 风险同回报的事
The risky yet eventually rewarding thing was a computer science project. Last year, our AL CS
teacher assigned us a group project to create a simple game of our choice. To play it safe, most
groups chose text-based games with simple storyline and limited interactions. But my friends and
I decided to take the step further. We chose to create a turn-based role playing game with
graphical user interface and animation. We made the decision not only because we aimed to
impress the teacher and get high grades, but also we wanted to challenge ourselves and dive
into/ deepen our understanding of programming. Given our finite experience about Python, it
was a really risky decision to make. If things went wrong/ didn't go as plan/ we messed up, our
grades would suffer. Hence, as soon as we were given the task, we got started right away. Just as
expected, we ran into/ came across/ encountered tons of issues. We turned to the teacher for
help/ seek assistance from the teacher. He pointed us towards all kinds of online resources like
GitHub and Google. Plus, There were lots of channels on Youtube dedicating to game developing,
providing step-by-step guidance/ tutorials and explaining concepts in a straight forward way. We
could even use ChatGPT to design and implement out gameplay mechanics, such as movement,
combat system, resource management and puzzle design. Despite all the challenges, after 3
weeks effort, we presented our class a fully functional and engaging. It was a booster We felt
super proud of what we achieved.

risky yet eventually rewarding thing was...

1.和朋友去
When it comes to an interesting venue I went to with a friend, I'd like to talk about a campsite
Which is the most stunning and refreshing place I'VE ever been to Located in the outskirts of my
city. Actually, I have fallen in love with the campsite since I went there for the first time and spent
a night with my friend Alan, who is a master of fishing and photography. One of the reasons why I
am fond of the campsite is the extremely charming outlook. Thanks to Alan's excellent skills of
photography and his camera, the rolling mountains, the hills carpeted with vibrant flowers and
the azure skies were all snapped and recorded. By the We sat by the crystal-clear and Tiffany-blue
lake, fishing and chatting away the entire afternoon until we ran out of baits. Very fortunately, I
successfully caught a carp as long as my arm, which turned to our dinner that evening. Before we
fell asleep in our tent, we lay on the soft grass, gazing at the star-studded sky in silence, which
was indeed an incredibly unforgettable moment. All in all, the campsite is full of my memories
about friendship and being a part of the nature. That's why the place is not only interesting, but
also meaningful.

家里放松的地方
When it comes to the most relaxing place in my house, I'd like to talk about my bedroom, which
is my favorite room in my apartment. Actually I have been dreaming to live in this room even
before we moved to this apartment. it's mainly designed in blue and white, creating a sense of
security and freedom, the room is shaped rectangular but is attached to a Semi circular balcony
So it can be filled with natural light during the daytime. There is a king sized bad equipped with
spoony mattress in the middle of the room, which makes it very possible to have a sound sleep to
get completely recharged. If you step into the room, what you can easily find is the bookshelf,
which is full of my favorite novels and non fiction. Whenever I want, I can pick up a page turner
and looking through the chapters that I'm fond of, with the smooth and refreshing melody played
by the c d player beside my pillow. What's more, if I stand by the giant bay window, I can directly
enjoy the golden beach, Tiffany, blue ocean and rolling mountains Which really feast my eyes. I
remember that once I came back from an exhausting trip and I couldn't wait to jump into my bed
and then enter a nice dream. When I woke up in the second morning I felt totally recharged and
energetic and I was ready to welcome the second day. Anyway, In my opinion my bedroom is The
most stress reliving and peaceful room in my apartment and I look forward to carrying out some
renovation to make it even cozier.
