下面是元元今晚做的英文作业。

If I Had More Time

Leaves gently floated down from the trees. Trees swayed and whispered as if dancing to the silent tune of the wind. The fall in Beijing was a symphony in red, brown and yellow.

I put down the work sheet in my hand and longingly glanced out the window. How I wished to bathe in the autumn sunlight! But piles of work sheets and test papers were placed in front of me, and it was absolutely impossible for me to go out while I had so much homework to do! Maybe all the people in the world knew that Chinese ninth graders had so much pressure and were as busy as a bee. Everyday, after I finish my homework, I see stars start to appear in the night sky. I have to go to bed. And when my alarm clock rings, the stars have just faded and the sky is still pitch black. Then it is time for me to go to school.

If only I had more time! If only I have time for flute, time for books, time for walking in the park, time for listening the water lapping against boats and the whispering of pine trees , time for finishing my English homework!

So while writing, I started thinking about what I should do if I had more time. I would read all the books I want: Ruby Holler, Savvy, Turtle in Paradise, The Underground, A Single Shard, The Thieves, Hurry Home Candy… I would sit on my soft, fluffy sofa and read until I fell asleep. Even then, my mind would be filled with words of the books. I would travel to the land of books.

I would go mountain climbing with my mom and we would hike to the mountain top. The view must be splendid from up there! I would see trees all in a bright, flaming red and hills covered in fallen leaves. The light wind would gently brush my cheeks, and silently kiss my hair. Wouldn’t that be the greatest feeling in the whole world?

If I had more time, I would go to a real ocean like Atlantic or Pacific. I would put my toes in to the icy water and feel the power of the mighty ocean. I’d bring my favorite book Olive’s Ocean and I’d even write loads of poems—the best poem in the whole entire universe! I had even thought of several good first lines for my poems.

The ocean is full of tears, you know
The sea gripped me and zipped me up
Ocean in eyes, ocean in heart
Can you make out the sound of the ocean?
Foaming, tossing, roaring

…
I slowly closed the window, and sighed. How I wish I had more time!

红红的枫叶

今天一整天雾蒙蒙的，我心里一直在庆幸我和朋友们选择了昨天，还不是今天，去看红叶。

昨天，我们去的是八达岭国家森林公园红叶岭。怎么形容景色呢？仙境，人间仙境。这样说一点不过份，八达岭归来不看香山啊！

那儿人少，山路最多只有香山的三分之一，爬起来不累，而景色的美是香山没法比的。蜿蜒雄伟的野长城作为红叶的大背景尤显奢华。我没带相机，朋友的照片还没发给我，过几天上照片哈。

在红叶岭，我一直有些遗憾，老公和孩子没有和我一起在那儿欣赏美景。心中开始暗暗计划，以后每年这个季节全家人一起去那儿看红叶。香山平时爬爬就好，深秋就不凑热闹了，人比红叶多！

听说红螺寺的红叶也很美，还有奥林匹克森林公园的菊花也开得正好，等天气好了，继续行动！

元元天天忙得不知所以，我也帮不上忙，元爸的工作也是一个忙字当头，我只能自己独乐了。这楼不会一不小心变成元妈游记了吧。

也不用担心哈！金秋短啊，像这样玩不了几天了。

每次我在风景区就想，这么大好的风光，孩子们要多看看啊！多吸吸大自然的精气，比坐在教室里听三小时讲座对孩子们有益啊！

今天上午我去图书馆买了几本书，其中一本是《 the Kite Runner》 ，这本是元元的英语文学课老师Cathy推荐的拓展阅读书目之一；还有一本是莫言的《蛙》，元元学校语文老师让找来看看。（新买的这本《蛙》，一看就是赶印的，质张又薄又透，更让人失望的是，文字印得很浅，淡淡的。整本书和盗版绝对有一比。）

元元看到这两本书很高兴，抱着它们就想回房间看，孩子喜欢阅读我高兴呀，但仍不住还是提醒了一句“作业，作业啊！” 元元俏皮地回了一句：“作业，都是浮云！”

孩子看书，我最高兴了，可一想到完不成作业的女儿第二天被老师追作业的情形心里就没底了。初三以来，孩子的乒乓球停了，羽毛球也没怎么打了，游泳也不去了，就是怕把孩子累着了。就这样，作业看起来永远都做不完。其实，元元学校的英文作业她基本没做过，要是算上英语作业，那就更没完了。孩子的作业让我想起 植物大战僵尸的无尽版  

就是这样，元元的学校还不是大家公认的最累的学校，而且这所学校还是少有的初三周末不加课的学校。有些学校孩子们从初一开始就有元元初三的感觉了！

孩子能支配的空间基本没有了，这就是教育吗？

是全职，家里最闲的人

可惜，不能把时间分点给孩子。

以前，我定音乐会门票，至少二张，现在都一张一张地订，我自己去听，轻易不敢带孩子听音乐会啦！ 就是订两张以上，也是和朋友们一起去，把元元扔家里做作业。

今晚的自助餐，我和元爸也没能带上元元一起去，元元自己要求在家做作业！

找到一些恶搞写作业的诗句，贴在这儿，乐一乐！

商女不知亡国恨,一天到晚写作业！举头望明月,低头写作业！洛阳亲友如相问,就说我在写作业！少壮不努力,老大写作业！垂死病中惊坐起,今天还没写作业！生当作人杰,死亦写作业！人生自古谁无死,来生继续写作业！众里寻他千百度,蓦然回首,那人正在写作业！

哎，一声长叹，可怜的作业缠身的孩子们。但又不能逃避现实，只能面对现实，努力去摆脱 现实的奴役。
