今天下午，爷爷奶奶去医院，要把我一个留在家。爷爷奶奶临走时，给我布置了学习任务：“用电脑打三课字，有空再看看第四十六册《语文阅读》，还可以跳跳绳玩一玩。”并再三叮咛我，“不要给陌生人开门，不要进厨房，不要玩火。”说完就走了。

我一个人在家里好孤独啊！我想，先看第四十六册新书吧，我就拿起书看起来了。

看了一会儿，该打字了。打什么题目呢？我没主意了，想了一下，选了《学溜冰》、《金色的秋天》、《我热恋的故乡》三课。打完了两课，姑妈回来了。我又接着打第三课，姑妈对我说：“含芝，我想吃蒸鸡蛋，你吃不？”我说：“我吃！”姑妈做好了蒸鸡蛋，我拿了勺子，和姑妈一起吃起来。

我在客厅跳绳玩，忽然听到开门声，奶奶回来了。我问：“奶奶，爷爷呢？”奶奶说：“在后面哪。”我急忙去接爷爷。

一出门就听到爷爷的脚步声，我连忙上去扶爷爷，和爷爷一起进了门。我对爷爷说：“爷爷，我把学习任务完成啦。”爷爷夸我学习真自觉，我心里甜甜的。

亲爱的姥姥姥爷：

您们好!

我是您们的外孙女昕昕，我是多么想念您们啊!新年即将来临，我给远在天堂的您们写一封信，和您们说说心里话。

在20vv年，我们国家发生了两件非常重要的大事。一件大事是令全国人民悲痛万分的5。12汶川大地震，在汶川大地震中，无数的人民失去了美丽的家园，失去了家人、朋友。我和全国人民一样沉浸在悲痛之中，但我们没有被地震压垮，大家齐心协力，共度难关，重建美好的家园。另一件大事是我们成功举办了举世瞩目的北京奥运会，在20vv年8月8日五湖四海的人们都齐聚北京观看精彩的奥运比赛。在赛场上运动员们奋力拼搏，创下了许许多多的新的世界纪录，我们国家也取得了史无前例的51枚金牌的骄人成绩，令人欢心鼓舞。美丽的北京和热情的服务都给全世界留下了深刻的印象。

我在20vv年也长大了许多，懂事了许多，学习了许多新知识，取得了好成绩。在期中和期末考试中都获得了“学习标兵”的光荣称号。今年寒假，我上了英语和数学的课外培训班，尽管我失去了许多玩的机会，但我不生气、不伤心，因为我获得了知识。俗话说：“一份耕耘，一份收获”嘛，看到我的进步，家人们都感到非常欣慰。

爱的姥姥，您已经离开我5年了，但您的音容笑貌却在我的脑海里记忆犹新。您以前抱过我，帮我穿衣服，喂我吃饭……我一一记得，那时我才3岁，懵懵懂懂地还不知道什么叫关爱。现在，我8岁了，长大了，体会到了您对我的爱，我真的很想您，希望您能在天堂里时刻关注我的成长。

亲爱的姥爷，您也离开我一年了，真的好想您，好想陪您散步，听您的教诲，谢谢您在我成长的道路上教给了我那么多好习惯，当我遇到困难时，您告诉我不要急躁，要有勇气面对困难，战胜困难;当我成功时，您在旁边鼓励我，告诉我不能骄傲自满，沾沾自喜，要再接再厉，只有辛勤的付出，才有美好的收获。姥爷，我感激您，您说的这些话我记住了：做一个正直、善良、勤劳的人。

姥姥姥爷，20vv年即将到来了，我又长大了一岁了，我像茁壮成长的小苗苗，在家人、老师、同学的关爱中成长着。我可以感受到您们关切的目光，感受到您们殷切的期望，我要继续努力，让成绩如雨后春笋，蒸蒸日上，我要做爸爸妈妈懂事的好孩子，老师得力的小助手，同学们最忠实的好伙伴。

祝愿您们在天堂里生活幸福!

爱您们的外孙女：昕昕

亲爱的爷爷奶奶你们好：

你们好！

在这几年我没有去看你们，身体还好吗？状态怎么样？

我告诉你们一件有趣的事。我班举行了活动，那就是——传话。听起来这个名字不怎么样，一玩起来就笑破肚皮。老师叫了十位同学，站在了讲台上，老师给第一位同学说了一句话，第一位同学一个接一个往后传，到了最后一个同学说了这样一句话：“猴像蕉树换香蕉”。那九位同学都笑了，第一位同学说了出来：是“猴子上蕉树拿香蕉”。同学们都哈哈大笑起来，有的拍桌子，有的捂肚子，还有的笑得跟花一样甜。上了好几次，只有一次说对了，真好玩！同学们都笑“哭”了。

爷爷奶奶，这个活动好玩吗？你们在家要当心。

祝你们身体健康，万事如意。

“小羽，过两天我和爷爷要去湖南玩了，你的饭菜要由爸爸负责啰。”开学后不久，奶奶突然向我们宣布了要出游的决定。

“啊，你们不是暑假前刚刚去过泰国吗？现在又要出去玩了？”我央求道，“奶奶，能不能等我放假了，带我一起去呀？”

奶奶摇摇头，说：“不行啊，我们和别人约好了，不能食言。等你放假了，我们带你去别的地方玩。”

看，这就是我的爷爷奶奶，以前的他们可不这样，每次姑姑和爸爸叫他们出去玩，他们总是不愿意，说旅游就是折腾人，没什么玩头，住宿吃饭还特别贵，简直就是花钱买罪受，还是待在家里好。可自从两年前爷爷大病痊愈后，他俩就像变了人似的，爱上了结伴外出旅行的生活。

不过，他们毕竟上了年纪，每次旅行回来都嚷嚷着累坏了。我曾经疑惑地问过他们，既然觉得那么累，为什么还经常折腾自己？

爷爷奶奶认为再不趁着现在还健康，能出去走走，以后就来不及了。他们不希望自己像上一辈那样，坐在家门口晒太阳，望着天空发呆。

我认同他们的说法，但隐隐又觉得导致他们思想骤变的根本原因并不仅仅只是这样。那天，我终于找到了答案。

有一次，我和爷爷奶奶一起去长台镇的亲戚家玩。一路上，奶奶指着窗外闪过的风景，不停地夸赞道：“现在乡下的变化真大呀！以前我和你爷爷来的时候，是坑坑洼洼的泥路、石子路呢，也没那么多的新楼房。现在这里的交通和城里一样四通八达，也是崭新的水泥路或柏油路。小羽，快看这些房子，装修得漂亮吧，一栋栋整齐地排列着，就像别墅一样，比我们家宽敞多了……”

爷爷笑着回应道：“是啊，如果有机会，我们也来乡下盖栋漂亮的大房子，呼吸新鲜的空气，每天活动活动筋骨，给地里的蔬菜松松土、浇浇水，然后养上一些鸡鸭鹅，说不定能活到100岁哩！”

回到家，我把爷爷以前的照片看了又看，现如今的城市和农村真的今非昔比了。今天早上，奶奶给我们煮的是葱香四溢的大陈面，面条筋滑柔韧，味道咸淡适中，夹一筷放进嘴里细细咀嚼，我尝到了幸福的滋味。

My mother was my first teacher. All the memories of my childhood are in one way or another connected with mother. I can still remember clearly the days when she told me stories, played games with me and taught me simple maths.

Mother has some good qualities. As a primary school teacher, she is kind to all her students. And she love her work.I have seen her working at her desk late at night when I wake up many times. She is a responsible teacher. As her daughter I also learn a lot from her. She is indeed a good mother.

I love my mother. And I want to be a person like my mother.

我的妈妈是我的第一位老师。我童年所有的记忆都或多或少跟我的妈妈有联系。我仍然还记得她给我讲故事，跟我做游戏,教我做简单的数学题的那些日子。

妈妈有许多优秀的品质，作为一名小学教师，妈妈对所有的学生都非常好的，她热爱本职工作。有好多次，当我深夜睡觉几次醒来，还见她在书桌旁工作，她是一个负责任的老师。作为她的女儿，我从她身上也学到了许多。实际上，她也是一位称职的母亲。

我爱我的妈妈，我希望自己也能成为一个像她那样的人。

april fools day is traditionally a day to play practical jokes on others, send people on fools errands, and fool the unsuspecting. no one knows how this holiday began but it was thought to have originated in france.

传统上来讲，愚人节这一天，人们可以相互搞恶作剧，骗人跑腿，欺骗不知情的人。没人知道这个节日是怎么来的，但人们普遍认为它源自法国。

the closest point in time that can be identified as the beginning of this tradition was in 1582, in france. new years was celebrated on march 25 and celebrations lasted until april 1st. when new years day as changed from march 25 to january 1st in the mid-1560s by king charles ix, there were some people who still celebrated it on april 1st and those people were called april fools.

庆祝愚人节最早是在1582年，在法国。那时，当时法国新年是在3月25日，一直持续到4月1日。16世纪60年代中期，国王查理九世把新年从3月25日变为1月1日，而还有一些人在4月1日过新年，这些人就被称作四月傻瓜了。

pranks performed on april fools day range from the simple, (such as saying, "your shoes untied!), to the elaborate. setting a roommates alarm clock back an hour is a common gag. the news media even gets involved. for instance, a british short film once shown on april fools day was a fairly detailed documentary about "spaghetti farmers" and how they harvest their crop from the spaghetti trees. whatever the prank, the trickster usually ends it by yelling to his victim, "april fool!"

愚人节那天的恶作剧有的很简单(比如，说句“你鞋带开了!”)，有的却是精心设计的。把室友的闹钟往后调一小时是常见的。甚至新闻媒体都来凑热闹。比如，在愚人节那天，曾经有一部英国短片较为详细地记录了“种意大利面的农民”，以及他们如何从意大利面树上收获意大利面。不管是什么恶作剧，搞恶作剧的人通常在最后会对被搞的人喊一句:"四月傻瓜!"

april fools day is a "for-fun-only" observance. nobody is expected to buy gifts or to take their "significant other" out to eat in a fancy restaurant. nobody gets off work or school. its simply a fun little holiday, but a holiday on which one must remain forever vigilant, for he may be the next april fool!

愚人节是一个“仅为娱乐”的节日。谁也不用买礼物，也不用带着男/女朋友出去到一家豪华餐厅去吃饭。人们也不会放假。它仅仅是个搞笑的小节日，但是在这一天，每个人都要保持警醒，不然就要被人耍啦。

each country celebrates april fools differently. in france, the april fools is called "april fish" (poisson davril). the french fool their friends by taping a paper fish to their friends backs and when some discovers this trick, they yell "poisson davril!".

每个国家用不同的方式过愚人节。在法国，愚人节被称作“april fish”。法国人和他们的朋友是这样开玩笑的：把一张裁成鱼形的纸用胶带粘到朋友的后背上，当有人发现的时候，他们就会喊：“poisson davril!”.

in england, tricks can be played only in the morning. if a trick is played on you, you are a "noodle". in scotland, april fools day is 48 hours long and you are called an "april gowk", which is another name for a cuckoo bird. the second day in scotlands april fools is called taily day and is dedicated to pranks involving the buttocks. taily days gift to posterior posterity is the still-hilarious "kick me" sign.

在英国，只能在早上搞恶作剧。如果你被耍了，那你就是“面条”。在苏格兰，愚人节要持续2天，被耍的人被称为“四月布谷”。苏格兰第二天的愚人节叫做taily day，恶作剧主要在别人的屁股上做文章。

Sakura is the Japanese name for ornamental cherry trees, Prunus serrulata, and their blossoms. Cherry fruit (known as sakuranbo) come from a different species of tree.

Sakura, a well-known and ubiquitous symbol of Japan, are represented on all manner of consumer goods, including kimono, stationery, and dishware. Cherry blossoms are an enduring metaphor for the ephemeral nature of life, and as such are frequently depicted in art. There is at least one popular folk song, originally meant for the shakuhachi (bamboo flute), titled "Sakura", as well as a number of pop songs. "Sakura" is also a common Japanese female name.

Sakura is indigenous to the Himalayas and east Asia. Some trees can be found in China and Korea but the largest number and variety of sakura, more than 305 species, can be seen in Japan. Many of them were artificially hybridized or grafted by the Japanese many centuries ago.

"On the other hand, in China, cherry blossom is the symbol of feminine dominance, female beauty and sexuality. Additionally, the cherry blossom is the Chinese symbol of feminine principle and it also symbolizes love in the language of herbs. Interestingly, cherry blossom is the flower of the April in China, whereas in Japan, it is wisteria." Spring flowers of Japan

Japans most beloved variety is the Somei Yoshino. Its flowers are nearly pure white, tinged with the palest pink, especially near the stem. The flowers bloom, and usually fall within a week, before the leaves come out. Therefore, the trees look nearly white from top to bottom. The variety takes its name from the village of Somei (now part of Toshima in Tokyo). It was developed in the mid- to late-19th century at the end of the Edo period and the beginning of the Meiji period. The Somei Yoshino is so widely associated with cherry blossoms that jidaigeki and other works of fiction often depict the variety in the Edo period or earlier; such depictions are anachronisms.

Other categories include yamazakura, yaezakura, and shidarezakura. The yaezakura have large flowers, thick with rich pink petals. The shidarezakura, or weeping cherry, has branches that fall like those of a weeping willow, bearing cascades of pink flowers.

Annually, the Japanese Meteorological Agency and general public track the sakura zensen, or Cherry-Blossom Front. Nightly forecasts follow the weather segment of news programs. The blossoming begins in Okinawa in January, and typically reaches Kyoto and Tokyo at the end of March or the beginning of April. Then it proceeds north, arriving in Hokkaidō a few weeks later. Japanese pay close attention to these forecasts. They will go to parks, shrines and temples with family and friends and hold a "flower viewing party" known as hanami. Hanami festivals celebrate the beauty of sakura, and for many, it is a chance to relax and enjoy the beautiful view. Hanami custom in Japan dates back to many centuries ago. It is witten in Nihon Shoki that the Hanami festival were already held in the 3rd century.

Most Japanese schools and public buildings have sakura trees outside of them. Since the fiscal and school year both begin in April, in many parts of Honshū, the first day of work or school will coincide with the cherry blossom season.
