In the new era, there are too many ways for youngsters to amuse and relax themselves. Recently, an activity named “围炉煮茶” in Chinese has become more and more popular among us. So how do we do this? Literally speaking, boiling tea around the stove is the main type. But we can actually do much more than that.
时下，年轻人休闲娱乐的方式有很多。最近，一种名为“围炉煮茶”的休闲方式变得越来越流行。那需要我们怎么做呢？从字面上来说，在火炉上煮茶是最主要的方式，但是我们可以做的还有很多。
In the winter holiday, me and my friends had all the equipment and food ready,went to a camping park near LiuYe Lake in my hometown. We set up all the stuff and light the stove. At the beginning of it, it’s necessary for us to make tea. What’s more, placing the teapot in the middle of the stove would be the best. And then, we took out little oranges and rice cakes we had prepared. In order to bake over low heat, they are put around the stove instead of the middle. As we waited tea to spoil, we sat on the chair and immersed ourselves in the beauty of nature. During the period, we cared for each other, talking about our recent developments and our bright future. We love the remarkable view of the lake. We also love the feeling of sitting around the stove and talking to our closest friends. The food on the stove can be various. We can eat and drink whatever we want.
在寒假，我和我的好朋友备齐所有的设备和食物，到了我的家乡——柳叶湖畔的露营公园。首先，把茶煮好是非常必要的，最好把茶壶放在炉子的正中间。之后我们拿出了事先准备好的桔子和年糕，把它们放在炉子的周围烤制，以便于控制火候。在等待茶水煮开的时间里，我们一边沉浸在大自然的美好中，一边聊着对方的近况和我们光明的未来。我们爱这曼妙的景色，我们更爱的是围炉煮茶时与朋友欢欣交流的感觉。
After hearing my introduction,you might think that it’s more like a meaningless picnic in the park. However,what we enjoy is not only tea and food, the wonderful memory with friends in winter matters. It was the reunion that made “围炉煮茶” even more special.
“围炉煮茶”让我们享受的不仅仅是茶和食物，更是和朋友们在冬日里的美好回忆。朋友间的团聚才让“围炉煮茶”变得更加特别。
In the end ,let me add a few words. When you guys do “围炉煮茶”，please pay attention to the fire and be sure to be safe!
最后想要提醒大家，当你们在围炉煮茶的时候，一定要注意炭火而且要保证安全哟！

This winter holiday, I finally passed the exam and got my driver's license. I spent the whole winter holiday practicing how to drive. The feeling of driving on real roads is very different from that in driving schools. There are often many unexpected situations to deal with, so I need to be very careful. If I make a mistake, both pedestrians and other vehicles could be hurt.
这个寒假，我终于通过考试拿到了驾照。在真正的道路上开车和在驾校练习的感觉大不相同。经常有很多意想不到的情况发生，所以必须非常小心。
Once I was about to continue driving when the green light turned on, suddenly an old man walked past me. Fortunately, I pressed the brake in time and waited for him to walk past, avoiding an accident in time. Another time, I went to the wrong lane because I was not familiar with the route. When I realized that I was in the wrong lane, I hurriedly turned the steering wheel to go back to the original lane, but I forgot to see if there were any cars passing in that lane, and nearly hit the car coming from behind. At that moment my palms were cold with sweat. It was so dangerous. I was acutely aware of the danger my careless actions could cause.
有一次，当绿灯亮了我准备继续开车时，一位老人突然从我身边走过，好在我及时踩下刹车，避免了一场事故的发生。另一次，因为不熟悉路线，走错了车道，我急忙扭转方向盘，但忘记看旁边车道上是否有汽车经过，差点撞到后面的车。那一刻，我的手心全是冷汗。
Every time I encounter a dangerous situation, I reflect on my problems and hope that I can be better handle the situation next time to ensure the safety of myself and others. I often recall the oath I took on the day I got my driver's license. It said, "The steering wheel is not only a convenient tool for life, but also a responsibility." My mother often tells me that only by being responsible for myself and others can become a good driver. After learning to drive, I feel more mature and confident. This feeling comes from my sense of responsibility. I think growth probably means having the courage and strength to take on more responsibilities.
每次遇到突发的情况，我都会反思自己的问题，希望下次能更好地处理，确保自己和他人的安全。我经常想起拿驾照那天的宣誓，其中有一句是这样的：“方向盘不仅是让生活变得更加便利的工具，也是一种责任”。妈妈经常告诉我，只有对自己和别人负责，才是一个好的司机。学会开车后，我感到自己更加成熟和自信了，这种感觉来自于我的责任感。我想，成长也许就是有勇气和力量去承担更多的责任。
