想找点简单的能很好翻译成英文的中文短文
我初中毕业已经十二年了,本来当时英语就没有学好.但现在再让我像以前在课堂上那样的模式来学,几乎没什么意义.因为我现在不再是应付考试了.我想达到与人交流的目的.并能把自己想表达的意思用英语表达出来.于是我想了一个很“怪”的招：
我找了一部写法比较接近口语的小说.想把他试着翻译成英文.我想这样单词语法就能在里面融会贯通了.但我知道这样很考验人的基本功.我只靠查词典试着翻译了一段,我知道里面的错误很多,但我却无法校正.
所以大家能找到一些有针对性的中文短文给我吗?谢谢!

不知道你得英文具体是怎么的水平,看一下这三段哪个比较适合你：
简单：
When it was getting dark a wolf was walking along the road.
Then he was startled to see his huge shadow under his feet.
“Wow,I didn’t know I was this big!”
The wolf was happy to know it.
As time went by,the sun was going down and his shadow grew bigger and bigger,so it looked like a giant.”Oh,Look at my shadow,I’m this big!”
The wolf thought that he was as big as his shadow.
“I’m huge and excellent.I don’t need to be afraid of a Lion.”
From then the wolf walked with his shoulders open.
As he became pompous,he thought of himself as the King of forrest.
“Why would I fear the Lion? Lion!Come out here!Here’s your match!”
This spread to all over the forrest and finally to the Lion.It made Lion very angry,so will went see the wolf.
“Here I am .I heard you said you can beat me .Now that I’m here,why don’t you prove it?”
The Lion’s sharp claw hit the wolf’head hard.
“Thump!
The wolf was knocked out.
“Ah,help me!”
It was too late when the wolf got to know that he wasn’t as big or strong as the Lion.
中等：
There is no standard for how much water a person needs each day, but experts usually put the minimum at fifty litres. The government of India promises (but rarely provides) forty. Most people drink two or three litres—less than it takes to wash a toilet. The rest is typically used for cooking and bathing. Americans consume between four hundred and six hundred litres of water each day, more than any other people on earth. Most Europeans use less than half that. The women of Kesum Purbahari each hoped to drag away a hundred litres that day—two or three buckets’ worth. Shoba has a husband and five children, and that much water doesn’t go far in a family of seven, particularly when the temperature reaches a hundred and ten degrees before noon. She often makes up the difference with bottled water, which costs more than water delivered any other way. Sometimes she just buys milk; it’s cheaper. Like the poorest people every?where, the people of New Delhi’s slums spend a far greater percentage of their incomes on water than anyone lucky enough to live in a house connected to a system of pipes.
稍难的：
Now, more and more people prefer e-books to traditional ones, because it can save their time and money. However, with various e-books flooded in, more and more people are aware of the disadvantages of e-books.
The fact that, e-books require special devices or personal computers can be looked as a disadvantage. Many e-books are typically produces to be compatible for certain software which in turn may be not easily available. Since e-books are dependent on other equipments, certain hardware or software failure may affect it. Unless the hardware, Internet connection or battery power that is required by an e-book reader is readily available, then its electronic documents are useless. In addition, e-books depending on hardware and software and are more easily damaged than a printed book
