1自我介绍：

My name is Holly. I'm thirty-seven years old. I'm from Hu Nan. I'm a math teacher in a primary school. My school is far away from my home, so I usually drive to work. There are three people in my family. They are my wife, my daughter and I. My wife is a doctor in a big hospital and my daughter is a ten-year-old pupil. In my spare time, I like reading books, watching TV, playing table tennis and so on. I used to go fishing in the weekends, but I don't now because I have to attend class in the TV University.

2我的家庭

There are five persons in my family: my parents, my wife, my daughter and I. My father used to be a senior engineer. His responsibility was designing new machines. My mother would work in a factory. They are retired now. My father is very serious about everything in life and pays attention to the details. My mother is patient and hardworking. I take after my parents. They have

influence upon me to make me a good teacher. My wife is a nurse and she is very busy everyday. My daughter is a pupil. She is pretty and lovely and looks like her mother.

3 Changes in my life

There have been many changes in my life. With the development of the

economy, my life is better off. For clothing, I have spare money to buy sorts of pretty clothes. But in the past, there were fewer clothes in my wardrobe. For food, I usually had traditional Chinese food for every meal, rice, noodles or a steamed bun with one or two light dishes such as preserved pickles. Nowadays, I can afford any delicious food, including western foods. For

housing, I have moved from a cramped and gloomy room to a big and bright flat. For getting around, I rode an old bike on my way to work a year ago. At present, I drive my private car to travel. I believe my life will be better and better in the future.

4 我的理想工作

Everybody has his dream for his career in the future. He or she might want to be a teacher, a doctor, a scientist, and so on. My ideal job is to be a lawyer. Lawyers, especially those familiar with global laws and fluent in foreign

languages, will be in great demand. I have a good eye for detail, a sharp mind, an excellent memory and like taking responsibility as well. So I think I would make a good lawyer. I am planning to open a law firm by myself some day. But now I must study hard to get myself qualified for my future job.

5 我的家

I am living on the 10th floor of a tower building with my wife and daughter. It is a newly-built block of flats with 22 stories altogether in the north of the city. We have three bedrooms, one big living-room, one kitchen and two bathrooms. The size is about 127 square meters. When we moved in three years ago, I painted the doors myself, but I had the window frames painted. We are

satisfied with the decorations except the cupboards in the kitchen, so I need to build them again. The neighbourhood is nice too. I think my home is cozy and I like my home. 6 我的爱好

Hobbies are activities from which one can benefit a lot. In my spare time, I like painting, singing, raising flowers and cycling. My hobbies help me relax after periods of hard work. Moreover, I can make many friends who share the same hobbies with me. My hobbies help me maintain a mental and physical balance. As you can see, hobbies can be relaxing, challenging, interesting, enjoyable or educational. So everyone should have one or two hobbies, then the life is meaningful and amusing. 7 我最喜欢的运动

My favorite sport is swimming. There are three reasons why I like the sport best.

First, it is good for keeping fit. It benefits the heart, the lungs（肺）and the limbs（四肢）. Thanks to the sport, I lost my weight and am graceful in form. Second, it is easy to find a place to swim. In the country, I can swim in lakes and rivers. In the city, there are many swimming pools spotted among the residential areas.

Third, it can be done in any weather. It is very cool swimming in hot summer. In cold weather, swimming is especially refreshing.

Swimming is a very popular sport. I hope you can enjoy it too. 8 城市生活与乡村生活

In the eyes of many people, city life is attractive with all its advantages and conveniences. People can buy almost all kinds of things at supermarkets or shopping malls, dine out in good restaurants; and more important, they can have more educational opportunities.

However, with the expansion of the city, more and more people are flowing into the big city, the traffic is heavier and heavier, the pollution is more and more serious, and the living condition is worse and worse.

Most people love the advantages of city life, but a big city also has its disadvantages.

9 我的电视大学生活

Our TV University is mainly engaged in long distance education. The form of study is very convenient for adult learners like me. I can learn my courses anywhere in my spare time by computer. There are many web-based courses and sources on line. Moreover, I not only use email to send our homework to our tutors but also join online discussion forums. Meantime, the difficulties and puzzles can be solved in the tutorial once a week. The e-learning life is meaningful and demanding. I enjoy my TV university life. 10. How to Keep Healthy怎样保持健康

It is very important for us to take more fruits and vegetables because they provide vitamins and they help in the process of digestion. Secondly, we have to keep a balanced diet and maintain regular eating habits. Proper nutrition is

important for good health. Avoid food with lots of sugar and fat. Eat plenty of foods high in protein. Thirdly, we had better do morning exercise every day, do sports frequently to make our bodies strong. Besides, we have to avoid too much work pressure. Getting too tired all the time may definitely weaken our defense system, making us get sick easily. Finally, we have to get rid of those bad habits that damage our health, such as drinking and smoking. 11. 喜爱的电视节目

There are thousands and thousands of wonderful programs on TV everyday. Of these, news program has always been my favorite. I like this program because I think this program is more than just a TV program itself. In fact, it is a way of communication. From this program, people can be well informed about the affairs both at home and abroad in time. The world is developing fast, but if you watch this program everyday, you will feel that you are always in pace with the development of the world. 12. 对老年人生活的帮助

It is reported that China has stepped into an aging society. As the aging of the population quickens, the number of elderly people is becoming very large. Therefore, it is necessary to find good ways to deal with the problem.

According to traditional Chinese moral values, it is the sons or daughters who should take the responsibility of caring for their elderly parents. The youth should not only look after their elderly parents in material terms but also understand their loneliness and do their best to spend more time with them.

But because the family plan has been carried out for many years in China, it is a common picture that a young couple has to support four elderly parents. This trend will reach its peak in coming years. The government is responsible for guaranteeing the basic living standards of the elderly and safeguard（保护）their legitimate（合法的）rights and interests and establish a multi-level old-age insurance system.

13.我的英语学习

I have been learning English for more than twenty years. Recalling my English studies, I would like to share some good ways and some frustrations with you. First, I am independent in English studies. Instead of waiting for the teacher to explain, I try to find the patterns and rules on my own.

Second, I am an active English learner. I never wait for a chance using English. I look for such a chance, and create an language environment by myself. I am willing to make mistakes and not afraid of losing face.

Try your best to enjoy the pleasure of English studies, bear in mind that \"frustration gets you nowhere\".

14. 我的日常生活 Dear bob,

I’ll tell you something above my daily life in this email and hope you will find it interesting. I usually get early and go to work at 8 o’clock. I have lunch in the office. And I come back home at six. As a secretary, I deal with phone calls, emails and faxes during work hours. I also do the paper work for the manager. After work, I like to do shopping with friends or watch TV at home. Sometimes, I also like to chat on the internet.

Best regards,

Michelle

15.自主学习与远程教育

Autonomous learning is an important learning style in distance education. It is an essential skill for distance learners because they study alone most of the time. They do not meet their tutors or classmates very often. However, distance learners can learn a lot from each other. So autonomous learning and collaborative learning go hand in hand. I am a distance learner. I have to do most learning tasks by myself. Meanwhile we have group activities every two weeks to complete some learning tasks or share experiences. I have found both forms of learning very helpful. 16. 最喜欢的交通方式

In a modern city, there are many means of transportation, such as subway, taxi, bus and so on. But my favorite means of transportation is by bike. Firstly, riding a bike is good for keeping healthy. I spend one hour riding the bike to my office on my working day, and I think it is a good form of physical exercise. Secondly, it is money-saving. recently, the private car driver always complain the price of gas is

higher and higher, but if you ride a bike, it will cost you nothing. Thirdly, it is beneficial for protecting the environment, so it is a “great” form of transportation. Therefore, although it has some disadvantages, I like riding a bike best.

17因特网与现代社会

The internet has become a symbol of modern society. For example, via the internet, we can send a message to a friend or a relative in a distant place within seconds; we can talk to each other or even see each other; we can do shopping without going out; we can stay home and do business with foreign companies. In fact, we can do many things more easily and more cheaply using the internet. So, I cannot imagine what society would be like without the internet.

18．事件发生的时间和地点

One morning last week, I ate breakfast in a small restaurant not far from my school. Unfortunately, I found that I have not any money with me. I had forgotten my wallet at home. I tried to explain this to the manager of the restaurant, but he did not believe me and wanted to call the police. I tred to call my wife, but she was not at home. Just then, I saw a former classmate walking past the restaurant, and I asked him to pay for my breakfast.
