Friends are who changes your life just by being a part of it, who makes you believe that there really is good in the world, who convinces you that there really is an unlock door just waiting for you to open it.

Ten years ago, there were many narrow streets.But now many streets have been widened. So buses and cars can go more quickly than before. Ten years ago , it was not convenient to go from the north of the city to the south. But now, you are sure to reach anywhere in less than an hour. To our joy, we have two underground lines and many more are being built. We seldom find traffic jam in rush hours. So we dont have to worry about going out. With the development of science and technology, the transportation in Shanghai will become all the better.

Dumpling is a traditional Chinese food. On the lunar New Year s Day, most families make a lot of delicious dumplings. To make them, follow this easy process.

The first step is to mix the flour with water. When the dough is ready, we can begin to make dumpling wrappers. We use a rolling pole to roll the dough into small, thin and round pieces so that they will be easy to cook. When the wrappers are done, it s time to prepare the filling. Usually, we use meat such as beef or mutton, and some vegetables such as cabbage or carrots for filling. You may actually choose whatever you like to put into it. We must chop those things into small pieces. Then put some salt, oil and other condiments into it and stir it evenly. When all these preparations are done, we can start making dumplings. First put a spoonful of filling in the center of the wrapper. Then stick the two opposite sides together and then the rest. Don t just cover the filling with the wrappers. The best shape of dumplings is that of a ship, because when they are boiling in the pan, they look like ships sailing in the sea. The smell can make your mouth water.

饺子是一种传统的中国食品。在农历新年的一天,大多数家庭赚很多美味的饺子。让他们,遵循这一容易的过程。

第一步是用水和面。当面团准备好了,我们可以开始擀皮。用一根擀面杖把面团擀成小,薄,圆形面皮,这样会容易煮。当包装完成,它的时间来准备。通常,我们使用肉类如牛肉或羊肉,和一些蔬菜,如卷心菜和胡萝卜馅。你可以选择任何你喜欢它。我们必须把这些东西成小块。然后放上一些盐,油和其他调料,搅拌均匀。当所有这些准备工作都完成了,我们可以开始包饺子。首先放一勺馅的包装器的中心。然后把两边牢牢粘住,然后把剩余的包好。不只是盖的灌装包装器。饺子最好的形状是一艘船,因为当它们在锅里煮的时候,它们看起来就像是大海里的船只。它们的香味会让你流口水。

We may obtain knowledge by reading. The more books we read, the more we accumulate the knowledge. Is it right? I dont think so. Its not wide reading but useful reading that leads to excellence.

And only good books can benifit us.So choosing books is very important for reading. Many students spend a lot of time reading legends and swordsman novels.Its a waste of time. Some students even read some bad books and it is harmful for them.

So be as careful of the books we read, as of the company we keep, for our habit and character will be as much influened by the former as by the latter.

Today, I went to my old house. I lived in it two years ago. When I am at school, I often think of my old house because it made me happy in the past. My old house is very tidy but old. It has only one level and there are just two rooms in it. I slept with my mother and my father ever evening. My old house is between two high houses, so it looks very small but lovely. When I lived in my old house, I often played with my sister at the weekends. But now I can’t, so I feel a little sad. Two years ago, I could share my feelings with my parents too, but they were separate at last. So my old house is my favourite place. If I have some trouble, I think of it and my parents, I’ll always get lots of energy. I will then forget the trouble soon. Do you think my old house is a wonderful place? Yes, it’s my great “palace.”

那个只有好友才能看到的英语小说嗯。“富有”的主人公，谢谢你，有些歉疚，不过我一定会努力。

整整四个月之前，我来了。那是一个充满惊喜的十一月，而你，是我得到的第一个惊喜。我的包裹里装着我唯一的英语，我极小心地看护着它，生怕这样的变迁与颠簸，让我一直以来的安慰在不知不觉之间离开了我。最初的那几天，我竭力想要抓住机会，尽管没能最充分地表现自己，但是你仔细地注意到了我，用你的经验很快读懂了我，并主动地给予我安慰，和久违的安全感。

无容置疑，你意识到了英语对我的重要性，作为一个人人都尊敬、人人都有点怕的老师，你并没有用你的力量轻而易举地使我对你产生畏惧的心理，而是主动接近我，一点点揭开遮住我视线的厚厚的陌生，在我做得不够完美而感到不安失落的时候，微笑并体谅我。

而你也有严肃的时候。当我扣了不该扣的分数，你会突然出现在我面前，显示出那种令人畏惧的神色厉声呵责。当我面对发生的这一切立在你面前不知所措时，你就会飞快地一改脸色，哈哈地放声笑起来，笑过之后，摸一摸我的额头，轻声告诉我没关系。

也许我还是太小？我总是焦虑，在考试之前总是想一些甚至会起到反作用的东西。以前的时候，可以在考试之后静静地等。但是现在，卷子刚刚交上去，就会被一些所谓的佼佼者围住喋喋不休，其中不乏恭维或者不怀好意的寒暄，让等待的仅仅几个小时的时间变得难熬，让我觉得愧疚，觉得难以忍受。

课上我把卷子摊开，目不转睛地看着红线密集的地方，你从我的身后走过来，用劲地点着我的卷子，手指敲在桌子上发出很大的声音。我坐在椅子上缩在一角，听着你严厉的“看看……看看……这是怎么了！”我托住头，你把卷子从桌上拿起来，站在旁边静静地仔细地分析，然后放下来看着我，仔细地说出评判标准和我的不足。我放松了一些，小心翼翼连比带划地说出自己的错因。你突然笑起来，对呀，对呀，你冲我呵呵地笑。

一整天的嗟叹。为了那些失分，为了你给我的英语。

谢谢你在我心中，成为了一个一直给我安慰和依赖的形象，我知道这有点自私，但是我们不后悔，我们都在做我们最愿意做的事情。我知道现在的努力是对你最好的感谢和回报。

划十字，永远爱你，永远爱我们的英语。

In the path of growth, regardless of who also must have met many obstacles! I am no exception, though, things have been for a long time, but it still makes me memory like new. When I think about this time, but I think of many things.

This matter, may be in many peoples eyes is just a small, insignificant things. But at the time of I, is a matter than ascend day also difficult. It has been my experience learning to ride a bicycle.

That day, the weather is sunny, cloudless. Mother help me to hold the bridle, I step on the pedal, flash flash to ride up. Mother gradually, loosen the hand, just as I proudly said to mother: I will ride on, unfortunately happens, and I have the car as "touch" a cry and fell heavily to the ground, I like to play how the eggplant, lowered his head. At this time, there were pain, knee is originally was wrestling, also scraped knee. It was more than I could bear, tears like a broken line of beads, constantly poured out. Mother pulled me aside, to longly say to me: "children, in the later on the road, you will encounter more, experience more, you cant because these little things, and stop you move forward." Listen to mothers words, I thought: yeah, mom said right, not because these little things, to give up. I dry the tears, again on the bike. Everything comes to him who waits, along with the unceasing efforts, although will fall, but did not give up, but even more strengthened my target. Finally, I learned to ride a bike. When mom puts his thumb up and says "good", my heart began to like to eat honey, my sweetie.

From this is, I also deeply understand a truth: as long as insist, insist, insist on, success will belong to you.

在成长的道路中，无论是谁也都一定遇到过许多坎坷吧!我也不例外，虽然，事情已过了很久，但却还是令我记忆如新。每当想起这件是时，便会然我想起许多道理。

这件事，可能在许多人眼里只不过是一件微不足道、不值一提的小事。但在那时候的我，却是一件比登天还难的事。这件事便是我学骑自行车的经历。

那天，天气很晴朗，万里无云。妈妈帮我扶着笼头，我踩着踏板，一晃一晃地骑了起来。渐渐的，妈妈松开了手，正当我得意洋洋的对妈妈说：我会骑了的时候，不幸发生了，我和车子随着“碰”的一声，重重地摔倒在地上，我像打焉了的茄子一般，耷拉着脑袋。这时，膝盖传来阵阵疼痛，原来是在摔跤的时候，膝盖也擦破了。我再也忍不住了，眼泪像一颗颗断了线的珠子，不停地涌了出来。妈妈把我拉到一边，语重心长地对我说：“孩子，在以后的道路上，你还会遇到更多的坎坷，经历更多的事，你不能因为这些小事，而阻挡了你前进的脚步。”听了妈妈的话，我心想：是啊，妈妈说的对，不能因为这些小事，便去放弃。我擦干眼泪，又一次的坐上了自行车。功夫不负有心人，随着不断的努力，虽然还是会摔倒，但是不但没有放弃，而是更加坚定了我的目标。终于，我学会了骑自行车。当妈妈竖起大拇指称“棒”的时候，我的心便像吃了蜜糖一般，甜丝丝的。

从这件是中，我也深刻地明白了一个道理：只要坚持、坚持、在坚持，成功一定会属于你。

她是一个很平凡的人。一张白皙而以俏丽的脸上；两道细溜溜的眉毛；一双小而有神眼睛，薄薄的嘴唇，常常挂着恬静的微笑。她个子不高，站在我们中间像是我们的一员。

她是一个很幽默，可爱的人。一次她在黑板上画了一只猴子，指着画，请了一个开小差的同学问她这是什么。她一慌之下把monkey说成了lizard。陆老师瞪大眼睛，装出一脸狐疑，轻声地问：“同学们，你们看到过像这种品种的lizard吗？下面一阵哄堂大笑。老师及时纠正说：“这是monkey，以后上课要认真听。”

有一次，有位同学上课在开小差，陆老师轻轻地走过去，拍拍他的肩膀说：“革命尚未成功，同志仍需努力啊！”小朋友有错误时，陆老师从不正面批评而是用巧妙的语言给予提醒。

寒假预示春节，春节代表新的一年，新的一年，有期盼，有欢乐，有嬉闹……于是，火红的春联便挂起来了。

Winter spring festival Spring Festival indicates, on behalf of the new year, new year, hope, joy, a frolic...... So, red couplets and hanging up.

我喜欢除夕，不仅因为全家人可以欢聚一堂，可以吃饺子，可以放烟花，可以看春晚，更多的是我可以贴春联。从小，每年我就牵着母亲的手，将那红红的春联齐心协力贴在大门两侧，让整个家中有了新感觉，有了新气象。不管外面的风雪再怎么严寒，袭人，我都会与母亲相视一笑，我们的心中早已装满了温暖。

I like New Years Eve, not only because the whole family can gather together, can eat dumplings, can put the fireworks, can watch the Spring Festival Gala, the more I can put up Spring Festival couplets.
