Chinese-English translation

學習英文需要很大的努力。想要學習英文像大衛王一樣好的人必須花很多時間接觸英文。較重要的是，他們不可恥於大庭廣眾下說英文，即使他們所能說的是些破英文。畢竟，他們不被要求說得像以英文為母語的人那樣流利和正確。










the sample answer:
It takes great effort to learn English. Those who wish to learn English as well as David Wang have to spend a lot of time exposed to English. More importantly, they should not feel ashamed to speak English in public even if they can only speak some fractured English. After all, they are not required to speak as fluently and accurately as a native speaker of English.

picture description --dog park a

In the picture, there are people walking dogs in a park. It's a must for pet owners and dogs to find a place for both of them to relax. Today, more and more people having dogs as companions. They treat dogs like family and take good care of them. Like us, dogs need to release their energy through enough running and playing. Therefore, the park becomes the perfect place providing a broad green grass land and fresh air for them.

In some parks, for example, the one near my place, has a ban for walking dog inside parks for sanity and safety concern. Some pet owners left pets' excrement in a park without throwing them away. This kind of behavior makes park guardians to do something to keep the park clean. Although most of pet owners bring plastic bags or paper to clean feces from their dogs, a few owners don't care too much about it.

Usually dog lovers gather together in a park and let dogs meet new friends and playmates. I think both dogs and their masters are happy with that. Although having a dog requires enough money and energy to take care of them, some treat them like their children and be willing pay more attention on them. -- a dog lover

picture description --cafe

The picture shows two people sitting and having a talk. It's quite often I ask my friends out to have a talk. The places to meet are various. Sometimes we go to fast food restaurant such as McDonald or KFC, other time we spend time at teashops. In my opinion, it's necessary for me to talk and drink with friends. That's the way I maintain the the friendship.
Usually, we are busy for each own business and have no time to hang out on weekdays. We may sometimes talk through a phone. Rather than hearing voices through machine, I'd like to meet friends face to face. I like the feeling that we can share not only food but stories happened around us. Where we stay and talk is not the point, I want the real atmosphere with real person. Although some may think I am too picky about the way to talk to friends, I do insist it's the best way to keep in touch with my friends. --nibor

picture description --bride

This is a picture of bride with a wedding suit/dress. This is the most beautiful moment for women. Although it costs a lot to have one or rent one, it’s a dream for many women to wear it. I think the white wedding suit has its magical power attracts girls attention. The broad and long skirt part of a wedding gout surrounds the one who wearing it is full of romantic feelings.

In this picture, the mild shining light through window confers viewers. The blurry, smoky atmosphere is quite romantic.

It’s a dream for many girls and women to decorate themselves with a pure-white wedding suit. The suit goes perfect with pure-white color and no one would argue with that. since I am a guy with on chance to wear it, I admire women have this privilege.

I think this is all about romance. People celebrate marriage through fancy dresses and create wonderful atmosphere for wedding couples. The pure-white of dresses presents beauty and romance. In this picture, the photographer tries to create a warm, cozy feeling with blurry focus. The light shines through windows make the room alive and vivid. I like this photo for its lights setting and feelings. It’s not easy to take a good quality photo of brides. Every bride has her beauty that is different from each other. A good photographer needs to get to know brides before taking their photos. Once they feel comfortable in front of the camera and around with photographers, they behavior themselves naturally. That one quite different from someone who just pose and smile.

In Taiwan, people prefer to take pre-wedding shoots for their life-long memory. Although the price for this luxury service is expensive, people are more willing to pay for the dresses on this important event in life. (159 words --robin)

picture description --bookstore

This picture looks like a bookstore and there are two people looking for books. I think it’s a big-scale and fancy bookstore. For today’s bookstores, bookstore owners need to provide a great number of books for readers’ various interests. Readers today buy all kinds of books. In addition, they know well to compare prices and quality and that makes books selling more fun and interesting. For today’s bookstores, they should not only sell books, but their services too. What I mean is that a well-designed bookstore produces the fine atmosphere for reading. For example, the arrangement/array of book-display is important part to evoke consumers’ desires to stay longer, therefore, could even shop/buy more. Like any business mode, bookstore owners need to provide better and thoughtful services for booklovers. Also, it’s a long-term idea to hold consumers loyalty to come back to shop again.

I do sometimes check new books from a bookstore. I often ask clerks to guide me their best sellers. The attitude is the key to the reason whether I’ll comeback or not. I think the clerk need to know their products well. A good bookstore clerk can help consumers find the books they need.

Talking about the bookstores, I have my ideal bookstore request. It must provide comfortable reading spaces for readers such as a cozy sofa or public seated place. I am tired of visiting a bookstore without any moment to have a seat and rest. It’s a significant factor to keep readers in a bookstore as much longer as they could. As long as they tend to stay longer and enjoy their readings in the bookstore, consumers are more willing to pay for books they really love. --robin

In this picture, people are riding bicycles in a wild field. It’s a trail specially design for bikes. There are many bike trails in Taipei country. The well-designed tracks allow people to enjoy riding and sightseeing. People can rent bikes with a reasonable price at certain stops along trails. Usually it takes 20 dollars for an hour, and various prices for different kind of bikes. It’s a really good place to hang out with friends and family. I usually bring my camera with a bike riding. Some trails go along a river, so sometimes you can enjoy the bird watching near the river bands. The trails are so popular that they are full of people on weekends. The trail has its recreation and sports function that attracts many residents to experience their bike adventures.

picture description --award

In the picture, there is one athlete and a soldier holding a medal together. It seems like the athlete won a medal in a valley ball game. I can tell that from the net behind. Maybe the soldier is his friend or brother to celebrate this moment. It’s a memorable moment that people tend to take pictures to keep it in mind. This picture reminds me the one I had with my father when I graduated from college. He went to attend my graduation ceremony and I was so touched for what my father had done for me. Also, this picture brings back my memory to my young age. Although I didn’t win any medal in any game, I do love sports. It’s good to refresh my memories through pictures. (130 words --robin)
