　　P2

　　解析：

　　題目要求描繪一個(gè)你贊成或不贊成的一個(gè)校規(guī)，該題的立意角度很多，如描述不贊成的校規(guī)：女生必須剪短發(fā)、全體學(xué)生必須穿校服等等。

　　Though I really love my school life, there is one rule that I could hardly agree. We are all required to wear the school uniform every day. I know that this rule is made to ensure that we wouldn’t distract our attention from study or we wouldn’t compare with our classmates on something like brand clothes. But it is really distressing to wear the same clothes everyday, not to mention that the school uniform are all very loose and especially not friendly to short and thin girls. Besides, since we are not allowed to wear other clothes, shoes become the only thing that could distinguish us from other people. So shoes, especially brand shoes suddenly has become what everyone likes. If any student breaks the rule intentionally, they would face severe punishment, which is detention. It seems that teachers are especially fond of this kind of punishment and they would order anyone who violates the discipline to detent. In my opinion, the reason why teachers, including parents, are positive about the uniformed dress or detention is that it requires little effort, and they believe if children will learn to be disciplined if they are punished.

　　I am totally against the rule because I think as teenagers, we have the right to express our comprehension of beauty by choosing the clothes we wear. More importantly, it is a sign of respect and confidence. I think the right value should be nurtured through guidance, not harsh rules.

　　Well Beijing is a city with many well-known museums, like the Capital Museum or Beijing Museum. But there is another museum in Beijing that few people know and that is Beijing Railway Museum. I come to know this museum through a friend Jim. He is a big fan of trains and he knows all the history and background stories about trains. What the Railway Museum to him is what a Disneyland to a 7-year-old girl. It is not until he told me about this place that I came to know there is really a museum of trains. I guess most people who know little about trains hardly know this place. It has exhibited more than 50 trains, whose years date back to 1881 to 1993. In the Railway Museum, you can see the first steam train in China, some other trains named after Chairman Mao and General Zhude, and trains made by other countries like England, US, Japan, Russia and Belgium.

　　It is an interesting place, especially to little boys and also grown-ups who are crazy about trains. These old trains are like big toys to them. They fancy every train they see. The different colors, shapes and styles also leave a deep impression on me. Walking in the museum, I seem to feel the passage of time.
