i always feel tired after eight classes a day, so my dream school in my dream starts at 8:30 a.m. and ends at 3:30 p.m. there are three lessons in the morning and two in the afternoon. we can choose our favorite lessons to learn. we can spend more time doing some outside readings. the students do after-school activities for one and a half hours every day. we needn't do a lot of homework. we are all happy to stay at school.
besides that, the school in my dream looks like a big garden. there are many kinds of flowers around the modern buildings. sweet perfumes are diffused all around. if i want to have a rest, i can lie on the grass, listen to music by the lake or look out at the flowers from the classroom windows.
the teachers here are kind and helpful. they are not only our teachers but also our good friends. the students are polite and friendly. we all know how to keep our school clean and tidy. there is no litter around the campus.
i love my this school. we will grow up to be happier there.

that must be the story of innumerable couples, and the pattern of lifeof life it offers has a homely grace. it reminds you of a placid rivulet, meandering smoohtly through green pastures and shaded by pleasant trees, till at last it falls into the vasty sea; but the sea is so calm, so silent, so infifferent, that you are troubled suddently by a vague uneasiness. perhaps it is only by a kink in my nature, strong in me even in those days, that i felt in such an existence, the share of the great majority, something amiss. i recognized its social value. i saw its ordered happiness, but a fever in my blood asked for a wilder course. there seemed to me something alarming in such easy delights. in my heart was desire to live more dangerously. i was not unprepared for jagged rocks and treacherous, shoals it i could only have change-change and the exicitement of unforeseen.
這一定是世間無數對夫妻的生活寫照，這種生活模式給人一種天倫之美。它使人想起一條平靜的溪流，蜿蜒暢遊過綠茵的草場，濃蔭遮蔽，最後注入煙波浩渺的汪洋大海；但是大海太過平靜，太過沉默，太過不動聲色，你會突然感到莫名的不安。也許這只是我自己的一種怪誕想法，在那樣的時代，這想法對我影響很深：我覺得這像大多數人一樣的生活，似乎欠缺了一點兒什麼。我承認這種生活有社會價值，我也看到了它那井然有序的幸福，但我血液裏的衝動卻渴望一種更桀驁不馴的旅程．這樣的安逸中好像有一種叫我驚懼不安的東西．我的心渴望一種更加驚險的生活。只要生活中還能有變遷———以及不可知的刺激，我願意踏上怪石嶙峋的山崖，奔赴暗礁滿布的海灘。

what kind of world is it my friend
that little children see?
i wonder if they see god first
because they just believe?
do they see strength in caring eyes
who watch them as they play -
or maybe love through gentle hands
that guide them on their way?
do you think they dream of future times
when they would be a king -
or just enjoy their present life
while with their friends they sing?
do they see the acts of kindness
done for people who are poor?
is the very best in everyone
what they are looking for?
and when the day is over,
as they close their eyes to sleep,
do they look forward to tomorrow
with its promises to keep?
if this is what the children see,
then it should be no surprise,
the world would be a better place
if we all had children's eyes.
