大雨过后 Over the Heavy Rain

　　When I lived in my hometown, I liked raining so much, because sometimes I could see the rainbow, it is so beautiful and attractive. I remembered the first time when I saw the rainbow. It was a stuffy afternoon, when I took a nap, I heard it rained, but there was sunshine in the sky. After an hour, the rain stopped. I walked out of my house and took a look at the sky, I saw a long colorful bridge in the sky. It appeared clearly, so close to me, it seemed that I could walk it to the sky. Now I live in the city, but I never see such beautiful rainbow again. The citys buildings cover the sky.

　　当我住在家乡的时候，我很喜欢下雨，因为有时候我能看到彩虹，那是如此的美丽和吸引人。我记得第一次看到彩虹的时候。那是一个闷热的下午，当我在午睡的时 候，我听到了下雨声，但是天上还有阳光。一个小时过后，雨停了。我走出房子，抬头看天空，我看到了天空中一条多彩的桥。那是如此的清晰，离我也很近，似乎 我能沿着它走上天空。如今我住在城市里，淡水再也没有看到过如此美丽的彩虹。城市的建筑物把天空挡住了。

　　Mother is always the greatest person in the family, because she takes care of everything, she does all the housework, though she is a housewife, what she is so heavy and great. I nearly help my mother to do the housework, when I go home after school, I always go out to play with my friend and then until the dinner, I will come back. Now as I grow up, I start to realize that I need to help my mother, I should share some housework, so that I can reduce her burden. Since I help my mother with the housework, she looks so happy, she will praise me in front of her friends. I feel proud of myself.

　　妈妈总是家里面最伟大的人，因此她照料着家里的一切，她做了所有的家务，虽然她是一个家庭主妇，但是她所做的繁重而伟大。我几乎不怎么帮她做家务，当我放 学回家后，我总是出去和我的朋友玩，然后直到晚饭时间，我才回来。现在我长大了，我开始意识到我需要帮助妈妈，我应该分担家务，这样就能减少她的负担。自 从我帮助妈妈做家务，她看起来很开心，她会在她朋友面前表扬我。我为自己感到自豪。
