第十九天：MY NATIVE TOWN 我的故乡

　　My native town is X. We have settled down here since my grandfather was a child. In other words, my family has lived here for more than one hundred years.

　　It is a small village. There are about one thousand inhabitants. Most of them are farmers. The mode of their living is very simple. However, they have already possessed television sets and refrigerators. They made up their minds to live a modern life.

　　我的故乡是X。我们自从祖父是小孩时，就定居在此地。换句话说，我们家人在此地已经住了一百余年了。

　　这个小村庄。居民大约有一千人。他们大部分是农夫。他们的生活方式很简单。然而，他们已拥有电视和冰箱。他们下定决心要过一个现代的生活。

第二十天：MY SCHOOL LIFE 我的学校生活

　　When I was six years old, I began to go to school. The first school (which) I attended was a primary school. There were many subjects (which were taught in the school, such as Chinese, arithmetic, history, geography, drawing and so forth. Since I was (became) a student, I studied very hard. My parents were quite proud of me.

　　After I had studied there for three years, I entered a junior high school. When I was twelve years old, I became a student of a senior high school. I still studied very hard. Except on sick leave I was never absent from class. Everybody looked upon me as a model student.

　　我六岁的时候，就开始上学了。我第一个上的学校是一所国小。学校里教的课目有许多，诸如国文，算术，史地，画图等等。既然我是一个学生，我就用功读书。我父母深以我为荣。

　　我在那边读了三年后，就进入初中。我十二岁的时候，就成为一个高中的物理学。我依旧用功读书。除病假外，我永不缺课。人人都把我看作是一个模范生。

第二十一天：WAR 战争

　　Though the people in the world are all opposed to war, they can by no means avoid it. This is indeed a regrettable thing.

　　War is very terrible. Everybody hears it with fear. In a war thousands and thousands of lives will be lost and a large amount of money (will be) wasted. It brings us untold miseries and damage.

　　To sum up, so long as war is unavoidable, human beings cannot enjoy lasting peace. How tragical their fate is!

　　虽然世界的人民都反对战争，但是他们却无法能够避免它。这确实是件非常令人遗憾的事情。

　　战争是非常可怕的。每个人听到它都害怕。在一次战争中，成千成万的人丧失了生命，大量金钱浪费了。它带给我们无穷尽的痛苦和损失。

　　总而言之，只要战争不可避免，人类不可能享受持久的和平。他们的命运是多么悲惨呀！
