Imagine that you are preparing for a trip. You plan to be away from your home for a year. In addition to clothing and personal care items, you can take one additional thing. What would you take and why? Use specific reasons and details to support your choice.
If I were to leave my home for a year, there is one thing I definitely would take with me: my cell phone. With my cell phone, I could call my friends or family if I ever was lonely, needed advice, or just wanted to talk.
如果我要离开家一年，我肯定会带上一件东西：我的手机。有了手机，我可以给我的朋友或家人打电话，如果我感到孤独，需要建议，或者只是想聊聊天。
If I were away from home for a year, I would be very lonely, especially in the beginning before I made friends. If I could call my mother and father, I would hear their familiar voices and I would not feel so lonely. Hearing my friends' voices would also help me overcome my sadness.
如果我离家一年，我会非常孤独，尤其是在我交朋友之前。如果我能打电话给我的父母，我会听到他们熟悉的声音，我不会感到如此孤独。听到朋友们的声音也能帮助我克服悲伤。
I've never been on my own so there are many things I am not familiar with. I've never opened a bank account, got a driver's license, or made my own food. If I had to cook chicken or something, I could call up my mother and she could tell me how to make dinner.
我从来都不是一个人，所以有很多事情我都不熟悉。我从来没有开过银行账户，没有考过驾照，也没有自己做过饭。如果我要做鸡肉什么的，我可以打电话给我妈妈，她可以告诉我怎么做晚餐。
Sometimes, I may just want to talk in my own language. With my cell phone, I could call my friends and tell them about my new life. This would make them jealous of me. I would call them a lot so they could hear all the wonderful things I am doing.
有时，我可能只想用我自己的语言说话。用我的手机，我可以给我的朋友打电话，告诉他们我的新生活。这会让他们嫉妒我。我经常给他们打电话，这样他们就能听到我所做的一切美妙的事情。
For me a cell phone is a necessity. I would need it anytime I was lonely, anytime I needed to do something I didn't know how to do, and anytime I just wanted to talk. Of course, the phone bill will be sent to my parents.
对我来说，手机是必需品。每当我寂寞的时候，每当我需要做一些我不知道该怎么做的事情，每当我只想说话的时候，我都会需要它。当然，电话费会寄给我父母的
