His name is John. I met him 7 years ago for the first time. I found out about him from a flyer posted in the street. Are you anxious about him?,First of all, he looks like white cake. His hair is white like fresh cream. His eyes are like two black pearls. His nose is always moistened like dewy flowers. His ears are as big as the rest of his face. Whenever he runs, his hair is glossy and his ears flutter.,I always embrace him. At that time, I have a sensation of going behind the clouds. In addition, his smell is sweet like candy, except when he doesnt take a bath for a long time. However, I always like him anyway.,Each time I say, Lets eat, he runs along panting. As a result, he strains his ears, and he lolls out his tongue. Maybe, the glitter of his eyes is the most pure thing in the world.

Also, he lies down to show his belly. I must forgive his mistake.,Maybe you can guess. He is my dog! He is living in my hometown. As a result, I miss him now. He teaches me about how to love animals.

His sisters were fine women, with an air of decided（果断的） fashion. His brother-in-law, Mr. Hurst, merely looked the gentleman; but his friend Mr. Darcy soon drew the attention of the room by his fine, tall person, handsome features, noble mien（风采）; and the report which was in general circulation within five minutes after his entrance, of his having ten thousand a year.,His character was decided. He was the proudest, most disagreeable（厌恶的，难相处的） man in the world, and everybody hoped that he would never come there again.,Speech Description,“What is his name?”,“Bingley.”,“Is he married or single?”,“Oh! Single, my dear, to be sure! A single man of large fortune; four or five thousand a year. What a fine thing for our girls!”,“How so? How can it affect them?”,“My dear Mr. Bennet,” replied his wife, “how can you be so tiresome!” you must know that I am thinking of his marrying one of them.”,“Is that his design in settling here?”,“Design! Nonsense, how can you talk so! But it is very likely that he may fall in love with one of them, and therefore you must visit him as soon as he comes.”,“Oh! My dear Mr. Bennet,” as he entered the room, “we have had a most delightful evening, a most excellent ball. I wish you has been there. Jane was so admired, nothing could be like it. Everybody said how well she looked; and Mr. Bingley thought her quite beautiful, and danced with her twice. Only think of that my dear; he actually danced with twice; and she was the only creature in the room that he asked a second time I was so vexed（焦急的） to see him stand up with her. I am quite delighted with him. He is so excessively handsome!,Action Description,Mr. Bingley has soon made himself acquainted with all the principal people in the room; he was lively and unreserved, danced every dance, was angry that the ball closed so early, and talked of giving one himself at Netherfield. Such amiable（和蔼可亲的） qualities must speak of themselves. What a contrast between him and his friend! Mr. Darcy danced only once with Mrs. Hurst and once with Miss Bingley, declined being introduced to any other lady, and spent the rest of the evening in walking about the room, speaking occasionally to one of his own party.,Mental Description,The manner in which they spoke of the Meryton assembly was sufficiently characteristic. Bingley has never met with pleasant people or prettier girls; everybody had been most kind and attentive to him, there had been no formality, no stiffness, he had soon felt acquainted with all the room; and as to Miss Bennet, he could not conceive an angel more beautiful. Darcy, on the contrary, has seen a collection of people in whom there was little beauty and no fashion, for none of whom he had felt the smallest interest, and from none received either attention or pleasure. Miss Bennet he acknowledged to be pretty, but she smiled too much.,Scene description,It was beautiful spring weather, but neither dogs nor humans were aware of it. Each day the sun rose earlier and set later. It was dawn by three in the morning, and twilight lingered till nine at night. The whole long day was a blaze of sunshine. The ghostly（幽灵的，可怕的） winter silence had given way to the great spring murmur of awakening life. This murmur arose from all the land, fraught（充满的） with the joy of living. It came from the thing that lived and moved again, things which had been as dead and which had not moved during the long months of frost. The sap（树液） was rising in the pines. The willows and aspens（山杨树） were bursting out in young buds. Shrubs and vines were putting on fresh garbs（服装，打扮） of green.,(taken from,The Call of the Wild,),Movie Writing,Please watch the movie If You are the One, and then write a descriptive essay about the main characters.,Marriage Seeking,A pretty young lady was sitting there quietly. With the sun shining charming hair, a sense of desolation(忧伤) flashed through the beautiful face below. Awaking from the imagination a few seconds later, Qin Fen went towards her and said hello to her. At this moment, Qin got a chance to observe her at such a close distance. She was well-shaped indeed. The white shirt with well-designed V-neckband（衣领） showed her attractive chest and her long and straight legs under a black mini skirt added a mature sense of femininity to her. How can this pretty charming lady be left? A question occurred to Qins mind.,True Love,Qin Fen didnt love her, even though she was beautiful. She had an arresting face, pointed（尖角的） chin（下巴）, square（颚）jaw. Her eyes were pale black without a touch of hazel（淡褐色）, starred（点缀） with bristly，（短而硬的）black lashes（睫毛） and slightly tilted（翘起） at the ends. Above them, her thick black brows（眉毛） slanted（倾斜） upward, cutting a startling oblique（倾斜的） line in her white skin.,A Blind Date,Shocked by the first sight of the air hostess, Qin Fen admired the beauty: she was dressed in a white short-sleeved shirt with V-collar, a black knee-length skirt, and a pair of simple high-heeled sandals. Especially her slender legs, he noticed, were much more attractive. She was sitting on sofa elegantly, with her legs crossed. When she spoke, the words from her sexy plump lips were melancholy(忧郁的). And her eyes conveyed that she was in a deep trance（恍惚，发呆）.,One day, he wrote down his marriage personal:,“Looking for hot guys? Dont bother. No gold-diggers either. To avoid mutual disappointed. PhDs need no reply, women entrepreneurs need no reply (except tradeswomen and peddlers). Perfect men like Andy Lau and Tom Cruise wont be seeking you here. Nor do I expect to find Julia Roberts. Even if you were a goddess, I couldnt handle you. I am not expecting a cover-girl to blow me away with your beauty. Just a sane, healthy woman, modern outside, and traditional inside. Slightly demure(怕羞的, 忸怩的)would be ideal. Dont be too young. Dont be too complicated ”,Wearing a pair of sunglasses and white shirt, a man wriggled（扭动） his hip and walked slowly towards him. With a ruddy（红润的） face, he looked much like a woman, especially his dressing style. There was a strange sight（眼神） in his sunken（凹陷的） eyes towards Qin Fen.,Far from his sight was a girl who had slender legs and good-looking face. Walking nearby, Qin Fen took a look at her from head-to-feet: long curled black hair beautifully twisted（扭曲）, baby-like skin and a sexy mouth. From her unique clothes and temperament（气质）, we all knew she was an air hostess.,
