这次，我们请CGTN外专做了一下高考英语作文
6月8日，随着结束铃声的响起，高考最后一科英语科目考试结束。
英语考试随即冲上热搜。
Following the end of the English test on Saturday afternoon, China's annual national college entrance examination, also known as Gaokao, concluded in most regions across the country. As always, the English essay questions drew people's great attention and became a trending topic on China's Twitter-like Weibo immediately.
随之引起热度的，当属中国家喻户晓的明星，
李华同学！
据考生透露，李华昨天在多套英语试题中出现，“今年的李华特别忙”。
全国一卷要去伦敦美术馆当志愿者；
全国二卷要参加排球赛；
全国三卷要去参加音乐节；
北京卷还要去地里摘西瓜……
这样“爱劳动爱生活”的李华，不禁让无数人从心底发出感叹：
As the essay topics have already been disclosed by the Gaokao students and some media outlets, this year, CGTN invited international editors to join the highly-debated examination. What are their answers? Let's take a look!
李华，怎么老是你？
李华是谁？他就是那个在中国无人不知，无人不晓，英语水平非常菜，还总要人帮忙的同学。
他是学校活动中的积极分子，校内外各种活动总有他的身影；他还热心中外交流，经常给外国笔友写信，做志愿者；他还是家人的小棉袄，经常帮助爸爸妈妈做家务……
然而，这些英文，他都不会写。需要无数考生以第一人称的视角，用自己的知识储备帮助李华完成各种各样的任务。
事实上，李华只是高考命题老师为了方便学生作答而编造出来的人物。
从1995年到现在，李华陪伴了20多届高考考生。据统计，李华在试卷中出现次数多达103次，涉及99道考题。有时候甚至可以在同年英语考试中遇到好几次“李华”，让考生叫苦不迭。
以致于上至40多岁的父母长辈，下至十几岁的00后，听到“李华”这两个字时都是又爱又恨。

After listening to my teachers tell me about "labor being glorious," I went home and decided to spend the weekend testing this theory out for myself. I packed my bags and made plans to volunteer picking watermelons at a farm -- call it a "day in the life of a migrant laborer." With zero expectations, I found that labor, while sometimes rewarding, is never easy -- especially when it comes to watermelons. I strained underneath the sun carrying watermelons back and forth from the field to the facility. I made sure to take one home for myself and ate the fruit of my labor while telling my parents about my trip later.

If you'd asked me what my favorite fruit is in summer, the answer is crystal clear. Watermelons! My dad always gets three or four at a time. There's a particular spot in our fridge reserved for watermelon because there's nothing more refreshing than a cold slice of the sweet, luscious fruit in the steamy hot Beijing summer.
This is why I was thrilled to learn about the social practice activity organized by our school last week. They'd send us to a watermelon farm! Since I've never been on a farm, I thought there was much I could learn from the experience. I wondered whether we'd be able to eat watermelon every day?
I packed my suitcase and said goodbye to my parents. They warned me that it's going to be hot working on the field and that I'd need to drink lots of water."I'm sure they'll have a free flow of fresh watermelon juice," I told them so they would stop worrying about me.
Once we arrived at the watermelon farm, I was immediately sent to the field to help with the harvest. We had to carry the massive melons to the truck all by ourselves, in a cotton bag. The field work was gruesome indeed! After three watermelons, I wanted to take a break, but I didn't dare to ask my supervisors for one, as no one else seemed tired. In the evening, I could barely feel my arms, and my back was all sore. I fell asleep in one second. Only in the morning, I realized that I hadn't had one single bite of the watermelons we had been harvesting all day.
Only back at home with my parents, we tasted a piece of the enormous melon I had brought them from the countryside. It was the most delicious watermelon I have ever tasted. I told my parents all about the hard work that's behind the daily necessities we take for granted. My uncle, who came over that night, said, "I know. I've been sent to the countryside too, but much longer than you." We finished the whole watermelon that evening, talking way past bedtime.

—— 一个误入新闻行当的编剧
After listening to Mr. Shu talk about the virtues of labor, I decided to spend a weekend at a local farm. I packed some one-use underwear because Mom won't be there to wash them. She also told me to sleep with one eye open at night, whatever that means. The watermelon patch was great! I picked 10 whole watermelons! I don't understand why people get paid for something so fun and easy. A super-tanned uncle who was also working on the field muttered something I couldn't quite hear when I told him that.
The only thing I didn't like was that there was no shower at the farm. But I found a bucket of water in the kitchen and dumped it all over my sweat-stained body. The aunty got really mad when she found out, saying that it was drinking water she had brought back from the well in the morning.
Aside from not having air conditioning, a shower, or a queen-sized bed, the life of a labourer is indeed glorious.
