进步

英语一直是我最薄弱的环节。最初开始上全英文的课程的时候，即使是那些学过的单词和句子，它们到了耳朵里也都成了陌生的东西一点也不认识了。但是随着时间的推移，我开始慢慢可以听懂一些单词了。到现如今上课的时候一些句子也能慢慢理解了。这对于我来说无疑是一个巨大的进步。而现在我需要加强的就是关于英语语法的学习。就像叔叔说的一样：”任务没有完成应该感到愧疚而不是逃避。“在学习英语语法的时候我总是会因为麻烦、懒惰和困难就选择逃避。比如背新概念的时候只要叔叔不提醒我就会松懈对它的学习。如果这个问题不改正的话是永远无法学好英语的。在其他问题上也是这个道理。就像改掉自己原先的那些坏毛病一样，如果因为困难和懒惰就选择逃避，那么是永远也没有办法成为一个更好的人的。

English has always been my weakest link. When I first started taking the full English course, even the words and sentences that I had learned became unfamiliar to my ears and I didn't recognize them at all. But over time, I started to understand some words slowly. Some sentences can now be understood slowly in class. This is definitely a huge improvement for me. And now what I need to strengthen is the study of English grammar. As uncle said: "You should feel guilty for not completing the task, not escape." When learning English grammar, I always choose to escape because of trouble, laziness and difficulty. For example, when I recite a new concept, as long as my uncle doesn't remind me, I will slacken my study of it. If this problem is not corrected, it will never be possible to learn English well. The same holds true for other issues. Just like getting rid of your original bad habits, if you choose to escape because of difficulties and laziness, you will never be able to become a better person.

前段时间过了我的十六岁生日，这是我第一次在没有家人陪伴下过的生日，实在跟我想象的不一样。在家里的时候，每次过生日都会有一个生日蛋糕这次也不例外。生日的前一天下午叔叔带我们去了大统华购物，我买了一个抹茶慕斯味的生日蛋糕。虽然家人不在我的身边，但是却比在家里过的生日更开心，因为我收到了许多精致的礼物、甚至还有惊喜。当蜡烛燃起的时候关上了灯，大家拍着手为我唱着生日快乐歌。雨霏还为我和蛋糕拍了一个合照。然后我们把蛋糕盒上的透明片片拆了下来，准备以后留着做书签。蛋糕盒子是绿白相间条纹图案，我把它留了下来做一个小盒子。

I celebrated my sixteenth birthday some time ago. This is the first time I have had my birthday without my family. It is really different from what I imagined. When at home, there is a birthday cake for every birthday. This time was no exception. The afternoon before our birthday, my uncle took us to Datonghua for shopping, and I bought a birthday cake with matcha mousse flavor. Although my family is not by my side, I am happier than my birthday at home because I have received many exquisite gifts and even surprises. When the candles were lit, the lights were turned off, and everyone clapped their hands and sang Happy Birthday to me. YuFei also took a photo of me and the cake. Then we removed the transparencies from the cake box to keep for bookmarking later. The cake box is a green and white striped pattern, which I left over to make a small box.
