Almost all of us heard the story “Here Comes the Wolf” when we were little

kids. What we can learn from the story is that we must be honest. However,

there’re lots of phenomena of dishonesty nowadays。

Being dishonest does great harm not only to other people but also to

yourself. Take the case of fake milk powder for example. After drinking this

kind of milk, the babies had big heads while their legs and arms were still

thin, which badly affected their health. To our great relief, the producers got

accused and punished for all the serious consequences in the end。

Having the reputation of being honest and reliable will make other people

trust you, which will provide you many benefits and give you opportunities that

others may not get. Being honest, you will find it easier to cooperate with

others and people will be friendly to you and support you. In a sense, if life

is a long journey, honesty will be the backpack that should be taken along all

the way. Let’s pick up our “backpack”—honesty, and start the wonderful

journey!

There are many festivals in a year, I love Children’s day, because on that

day, I can have many candies from school. In the school, i will play many games,

there will be no class on Children’s day, everybody will have fun. Children’s

day is my favorite day, the day belongs to me. I enjoy that day so much. My

parents will also celebrate it for me.

Going to high school is my first time to leave home. I have to live in

school from Monday to Friday. I like to stay away from my parents for some time,

because I can make my own choice and be free to go anywhere. My friends and I

like to spend the weekend in the countryside that near the city we live. It is

the short travel that I can not only appreciate the beautiful scenery, but also

learn to be independent. The things that nature teaches me are a lot. I can see

from the color of the cloud to predict the weather and the sound of of animals

have different meanings. All of these are hard to know from the books. I have my

own thinking from these trips, and the way to take care of myself helps me to

grow up.

Important to save water

Water is a kind of liquid. It has no taste or smell. It is transparent, too. Water is useful and is important to us. Why? For example, we use water to water the plants. We use water to wash our face or to have a bath. We drink water or we will die…Water is also very important for China. There are 2.8 hundred millions of steres of water in China, but everyone can only use 2300 steres. It is only twenty–five per sent in the world.

Not too long ago, there was a man called Jacques Cousteau. He loved the beautiful colors, and the beautiful fish in the sea. However, when he returned some years later, the colorful coral reefs were dead and grey because the factory near the sea poured waste water into the sea. Jacques Cousteau decided to tell people how important it was to save the environment under the sea. He started the“ Cousteau Society ” to help protect life in the sea. Now there are over 30000 members all over the world. Since water covers most of the earth, Cousteau knew that we should keep the sea clean. We should not litter the sea, and should clean up the dirty parts. As water is very important to our environment, he encouraged everyone to take part in protecting our lakes, rivers, sea and ocean.

There are still a few people who are not protecting the water now in the world. For example, some factories pour waste things into the rivers, lakes or into the sea near by. The water there has become very dirty and we can’t use them at all. Although there are seventy–five per sent of water in the world, we can only use fresh water, that there is only a little. So we should use little water when we need to use it. For example, I do not use too much water when I am washing my face or having a bath… It is important for us to keep the water clean. You may ask yourself, have I ever poured or thrown dirty things into the water? If your answer is “No”, that means you have already helped to protect the environment. It is our duty to protect the environment. You may ask yourself again, have I ever helped to clean up the water? If your answer is “Yes”, that means that you have already done something useful to improve the water. If we use up all the water, it is difficult for us to get it from anywhere, including the universe. It is terrible to think that people are too thirsty to live! I believe, that if everyone helps to protect the water, the water must be protected. You do not want to “kill” your son or your grandson, do you? So now let us to protect the water! Please don’t let the last drop of water on the earth is we human’s tear!

2020年的春节，在所有中国人的心里，注定是一个永生难忘的记忆。新型冠状病毒的肆虐，让辞旧迎新的钟声更加沉重，人们脸上的那一个个口罩，让这个春节倍感冷清。

The Spring Festival in 2020, in the hearts of all Chinese people, is

destined to be a memorable memory forever. The novel coronaviruss raging force

makes the bell ring for the old and new year more heavy, and the mask on

peoples faces makes the Spring Festival feel cold.

这个冬天，梅花依然宁静地开放;这个冬天，蓝天依旧明净如洗;这个冬天的武汉却非常艰难，全国人民却非常艰难。在这特殊的日子里，我们谨遵医嘱，静静地待在家中。我们为武汉忧心忡忡，我们为治愈病例的增多而感到高兴，为武汉的人们牵肠挂肚。

This winter, the plum blossom is still quietly open; this winter, the blue

sky is still bright and clean; this winter, Wuhan is very difficult, but the

people of the whole country are very difficult. On this special day, we would

like to follow the doctor s advice and stay at home quietly. We are worried

about Wuhan, we are happy with the increase of cured cases, and we are worried

about people in Wuhan.

与此同时，有一群人，他们正冲在前方，用自己的平凡之躯为身后的亿万中国人筑起防护的堡垒,他们舍小家为大家，不眠不休，战斗在这场没有硝烟的战场上的最前沿。他们是来自全国各地的最美逆行者，他们是新时代的最美先锋人物，他们是可亲可敬的白衣天使。

At the same time, there are a group of people, they are rushing forward,

using their ordinary bodies to build a fortress for the hundreds of millions of

Chinese people behind them. They leave their small homes for everyone,

sleepless, fighting in the forefront of this battlefield without smoke of

gunpowder. They are the most beautiful rebels from all over the country. They

are the most beautiful pioneers in the new era. They are amiable and respectable

angels in white.

在这群人当中，有一位84岁的老院士，叫钟南山，17年前，这位老院士奋斗在抗非的最前线上，为抗击非典立下了汗马功劳。17年后的今天他临危受命，搭上前往武汉的高铁，再次前往抗击疫情的前线;86岁的董宗祁老教授，他坐在轮椅上，一上午看了30多个病人，他说：“我这辈子，就是为了救人”;73岁的李兰娟教授，知道国家有难，她毫不犹豫前往武汉，坚定地说出她的誓言：“我打算长期待在武汉，与那边的医护人员一起奋斗!”

Among these people, there is an 84 year old academician named Zhong

Nanshan. 17 years ago, the old academician fought in the forefront of anti

Africa and made great contributions to the fight against SARS. 17 years later,

he was ordered to take the high-speed railway to Wuhan and go to the front line

of fighting the epidemic again. Professor Dong zongqi, 86, sat in a wheelchair

and saw more than 30 patients in the morning. He said, "my life is to save

people"; Professor Li Lanjuan, 73, knew that the country was in trouble. She did

not hesitate to go to Wuhan and firmly said her oath: "I intend to stay in Wuhan

for a long time and fight with the medical staff there!"

这世上哪有什么岁月静好，只是因为有人在替我们负重前行罢了，这世上哪有什么天生的英雄，只有因为人们需要，才有人愿意牺牲自己成为英雄。

There is no time in this world that is quiet, just because someone is

carrying the weight for us. There is no natural hero in this world. Only because

people need, can someone be willing to sacrifice themselves to become a

hero.

虽然我不知道他们是谁，但我明白他们是为了谁。他们也许并不富裕，甚至有些贫穷;他们也许并不高大，甚至有些瘦弱;他们也许并不光鲜，甚至有点卑微，他们的形象在我心中是那样模糊，但他们的精神在我心中却是那样鲜明;不计生死，不求回报，默默坚守的他们，守护着健康，保卫着生命。

Although I dont know who they are, I know who they are for. They may not

be rich, or even poor; they may not be tall, or even thin; they may not be

bright, or even a little humble, their image in my heart is so fuzzy, but their

spirit in my heart is so bright; regardless of life and death, do not ask for

return, they stick to silently, guard health, protect life.

普通的我们无法到达正面战场与病毒作战，我们只能做好我们的后勤工作，不出门，少出门，勤洗手，戴口罩，这是为了不给他们添麻烦，祝愿他们平安早日凯旋。

Ordinary we cant reach the front battlefield to fight against the virus.

We can only do our logistical work well, not going out, not going out, washing

hands frequently, wearing masks, so as not to give them trouble, and wish them a

safe and early victory.

彩虹为证，千古不变，我要高歌。为生命喜悦，万物都歌颂你的慈爱，大地诉说你的恩情。

Rainbow as evidence, eternal, I want to sing. For the joy of life, all

things sing of your love, and the earth speaks of your kindness.

致敬白衣天使!

Salute the angel in white!

致敬最美逆行者!

Salute the most beautiful rebel!

致敬抗击疫情的每一个人!

Pay homage to everyone fighting the epidemic!

The protection of the border is not a new problem for us, and our

government has long proposed clear targets for governance. As every ordinary

person in real life, although it is impossible to work directly in environmental

protection, we can start from small things and start from me. Can you raise your

hand when you see the tap in the bathroom? When the battery runs out, can you

classify it instead of throwing it away? How about when shopping doesnt use

ultra-thin plastic bags? ...... Small things are small, but they reflect how

much environmental awareness we have.

Recycling one ton of waste paper can regenerate 800 kg of paper, can save

17 tree. 20 waste recycling boxes can create a beautiful pen container.

Recycling one glass bottle to save the energy, can make the bulb light for four

hours. Recycling one aluminum can is to save the half oil cans. So we should

place the garbage classification, reproduction by the relevant department after

recycling reuse!

As long as we start from oneself, starts from the minor matter, everybody

joint efforts, perseverance, we will be for the society, also a piece of clear

water, blue sky for yourself, I hope everybody can voluntarily protect the

environment, to make our environment more beautiful life.

Hello, everyone. Im glad to introduce myself to you. Im from Chongqing. I

am a teacher. I have many hobbies, such as taking notes, reading, listening to

music, dancing, singing, playing basketball and swimming. I think we should

treat everyday as the last day for us to live in the world. That is me. I like

making friends. I hope I can be your friends.

Now, many encyclopedias, such as: "hundred thousand whys", the mystery of

the world "and so on a wide variety, all kinds of books can give us many

benefits, our world is so vast, some things in the world, and books have,

encyclopedia like" dumb teachers diligently teach us knowledge. Visible, how

useful book! Also, we learn knowledge also want to use in our daily life, to be

accurate and determine whether to do so, the right to enrich our knowledge, the

outside is good for our healthy growth. You said, a lot of the benefits of

reading?

Nowadays, more and more of the books in the library, we should also learn

to read and appreciate books, should put the book back on the in situ after the

play, not just throw the place. Also, we must find a give us the knowledge of

books to read, dont look at those who are not good for our growth.

In short, the benefits of reading. Come on! Let us to soar in the sky of

knowledge fully!

How can we live a full and meaningful holiday when we are getting closer

and closer to our colorful summer vacation? Let me tell you about my ideal

summer vacation.

Golgi once said: "books are the ladder of human progress". Reading, not

only enriches knowledge, but also makes people understand the philosophy of

life. Yes, there are good, evil, ugly, beautiful in the book, and there are many

wonderful stories. I am a "bookworm", long holidays of course this book friends!

Im going to go to the Xinhua Bookstore to read every day, the campus story, the

name of the world, the Confucian classics, the fairy tales, the detective

stories... I like them all。 Haha, summer vacation packages can treat. I read

"scream", and I was reading "Kong Yi." Although it had been read earlier, in the

atmosphere created by "cry", the sad and ridiculous Kong Yi seemed to have added

a lot of misery. Also read "naughty bag horse small jump", humorous humor only

smile to the stomach pain. The book is really spiritual food!

Voltaire said, "life lies in movement." The long summer vacation, in order

to make my health is good, we must do some exercise. A sport that I love most is

to play table tennis, I cant miss this chance to go to the gym during the

summer vacation, "kill" on a back, and the real "Table Tennis Master blows, they

learn to play ping-pong essentials, and find out the deficiencies of their own

efforts to learn for table tennis, a qualitative leap. I looked at the little

yellow ball jumping up and down, while the sweat, but in the heart of the

emergence of unspeakable joy.

Holiday is at home, on the Internet. Of course I this "netheads" to a

chain. Open the "composition", look at the composition, pack a bag, and then go

to the BBS irrigation, send post, understanding the novel interesting. Play

tired, close your eyes and listen to the melodious music, let your mind rest,

melodious music ups and downs, I feel the people are immersed in the music, is

really a kind of enjoyment! Since the said: listen to music at any time, its

nuts. Point open "Baidu", hot news reports immediately appear in front of, hey,

really many ah! The whole country and the big and small things are immediately

present, really countless ah! There is a lot of encyclopedia knowledge on the

Internet. I suck the nutrition of knowledge in the ocean of knowledge, and add

some extracurricular knowledge. It is: the Internet, a good holiday partner.

My ideal summer vacation, perhaps not the richest, is the most suitable for

me, and I believe I will have a fullest and most meaningful holiday.

When we are little, we are eager to grow up, so that we can break free of

parental discipline even leave them far. Since we were a little child, we have

to be governed by teachers in school and endure parent’s ramble at home. These

are our growing pains. Besides, study, friendship, sometimes campus romance may

trouble us. However, as we grow up, we gradually find that things mentioned

above are not pains at all. There are much more serious things brother us. For

example, we may be less sensitive to the simple happiness and loss them

gradually. It’s hard for us to laugh from our heart. Moreover, we are in the age

that we are eager to grow up but afraid to grow up either. The ambivalence

afflicts us a lot. However, no matter what happens in our growth, they are parts

of our lives. We must accept them actively and do not let the pains prevent us

from happiness.

For the first time, I climbed to the top of the mountain and enjoyed the

beautiful scenery.

It was a weekend when a good friend of mine asked me to climb a famous

mountain here. Ive always heard of this mountain, but I havent found the time to

climb it. So when my friend asked me out, I readily agreed.

On the way to climb mountains with my friends, we also met many climbers,

including young people and old people. The young mans speed of climbing was

fast, and he disappeared in a flash; the old mans climbing was very casual, at

least slowly, with a happy face. Maybe young people climb the mountain to get to

the top of the mountain, while old people climb the mountain to enjoy the

scenery along the way.

My friends and I are neither the first nor the second. We will carefully

taste the scenery along the way of climbing. The speed of climbing is not so

fast and slow. Although its not as fast as those brothers who cant be seen in a

moment, its faster than those masters.

When my friends and I climbed to the top of the mountain, it was the

setting sun, and the red sun dyed the sky red, which was shocking enough. My

friend and I found a place with a wide view. At a glance, the mountains were

rolling. Those mountains were like a line of waves, rolling away to the

distance.

"Wow, its beautiful!" I couldnt help sighing, and my friend followed. The

scenery on the top of the mountain is really beautiful. Its the majestic

atmosphere that makes people feel shocked. My friend and I stood at the top of

the mountain for a long time. Finally, as the light in the sky became more and

more dim, my friend and I went down the mountain reluctantly. When I went down

the mountain with my friends, we were sitting in the corridor. We enjoyed the

scenery. On this day, my friends and I got a lot.

The first time I climbed the mountain, I felt the fun of climbing the

mountain, and also read the scenery of the mountain top. If I have time, I will

go climbing again.

Facebook is the most popular social communicational software. People like

to share their information in it and keep in touch with their friends. The

founder of Facebook is a young handsome guy named Mark Zuckerberg. He was being

a dad recently and he announced that he would donate 99 percent of his share for

celebrating his girl’s coming.

99 percent of his share! That is such great amount. The public were so

astonished by his decision. This young guy could only take out the small part of

his share, but he took out nearly the all. His great grace could help a lot of

people to improve their lives, even change their fate.

There are a lot of rich people in the world, but only less people could

make the great decision like Mark Zuckerberg. When the media asked him why he

did this, he said he wanted to reture society and help the people who were in

need of. This money was not necessary for him, but could change a lot of poor

people’s fates and I wanted to help them.

There is no doubt that Mark’s generous indeed will help a lot of

people.

if you want to understand adversity, take two identical acorns from the same oak tree and plant them in two different locations. plant the first in the middle of a dense forest, and the other on a hill by itself.

要是你想理解什么是逆境，就去拿两颗从同一棵树上摘下来年龄相同的橡树果，并且把它们种到不同的地方。第一颗种在浓密的树林当中，而另外一颗则单独种在一座山上。

heres what will happen. the oak standing on a hillside is exposed to every storm and gale. as a result its roots plunge deep into the earth and spread in every direction, even wrapping themselves around giant boulders. at times it may seem the tree isnt growing fast enough—but the growth is happening underground. its as if the roots know they must ported the tree from the threatening elements.

事情的结果便是这样。那颗长在山上的橡树经历了大风大雨，结果它的根深深地扎进了泥土中间，并不断向四周扩张，甚至把自己置身于巨大的石块当中。有时它可能看起来长的不是很快，但这时它却在地下悄悄生长着，好像它的根知道自己必须快速生长来保护树木免受自然危害的影响。

There are various kinds of jobs in the world, but different people are

attracted by different jobs because everyone has his own interest and

destination. Many people consider an ideal job as a means of making more money

and living more comfortably. It may sound reasonable because money is the

foundation of life.

As far as my ideal job is concerned, I think I want to be a psychologist, I

have made up my mind to do what I really want to so that I can realize my ideal,

I believe interest is of the utmost importance in choosing a job, I have been

interested in psychology for a long time, so I want to be a psychologist in the

future, I think being a psychologist can help lots of people lead a happier

life.

However, it isnt easy for me to become a qualified psychologist and many

people around me think that its unrealistic to me. NevertheLess, Ill make

every effort to gain much more knowLedge, patience, methods, etc. to live up to

the name of a qualified psychologist. I believe my dream will come true

someday.

April 23 is "World Book Day" announced by the UNESCO。 This is not a long history of the festival, from 1995 began. However, it has been widely welcomed and responded in the world: held in Copenhagen, Denmark reading marathon, Canadas Toronto Festival held in Canada…

When these popular cultures such as Pop music and Hollywood movies get quite prevailing today, people have not forgotten literature, the writers and reading.

Whether Reading is a funny thing, only love reading people know.

I study for many years, however, I know the sense of reading so little . Where fun of reading comes? There are four opinions put forward in this paper.

First, Reading is the treatment of depression governance magic.Immersed in books, what partiality, what desire fame and fortune, what lack a clear round, what fuel, what life 3,000 silk trouble, they all forget about.

Second, People in Libraries are often forget the time and forget to go home, that the study is not the intrinsic happiness? Some celebrities even held overnight in the library.

Third, We often see someone reading forget thirst. India, reading knowledge is the spirit of Canadian admirable. However, the morning watching a professor at the empty plates and ask ourselves: I eat the lunch? Oh. After eating, they continue schooling. Some people forget to study cooking and was good meal blame reprimanded.

Last, Reading the fastest time flies. Joy of reading, an unconsciously Influence past, the sun has not allowed Health attraction downhill whims.

在国庆假期里，最快乐的事就是妈妈带我去动物园游玩。

动物园里的动物可多了，有会喷水的大象，有活泼调皮的猴子，有高贵漂亮的长颈鹿……最凶猛的狮子、老虎和大狗熊是圈养在虎山的，我和妈妈是坐着缆车观看的，坐在缆车里往下看，我刚好看到有一头黄色的大狮子正在张着那血盆大口吼叫，声音大得像打雷，我的心紧张极了，不由得握紧妈妈的手。

在百鸟园里，我见到了好多鸟，不过大部分我都不认识。我们看了鸟艺表演，观看了鹦鹉说话、鸽子识字等节目。最有趣的要数乌鸦拉车子了。一只黑黑的乌鸦拉了一只雪白雪白的鸽子，到了目的地，鸽子却不付钱，乌鸦气呼呼地把车子推翻在地，逗得观众哈哈大笑。

这里好看好玩的可多啦，说也说不完，真让人流连忘返!

In the National Day holiday, the happiest thing is that my mother took me to the zoo to play.

Zoo animals can be more, there will be sprayed elephants, lively naughty monkeys, there are noble and beautiful giraffe ... ... the most ferocious lions, tigers and big bears are captive in the hills, and my mother is sitting Watching the cable car, sitting in the cable car down to see, I just saw a big yellow lion is hanging that blood pool big mouth roar, the sound is like a thunder, my heart is very nervous, could not help but clenched my mothers hand.

In the bird park, I saw a lot of birds, but most of the I do not know. We watched the bird show, watched the parrot to speak, pigeon literacy and other programs. The most interesting to the number of crow pull the car. A black crow pulled a snowy white pigeon, to the destination, the pigeons did not pay, the crows to the car overturned to the ground, amused the audience laughed.

There are so nice to play more friends, that can not finish, really let people forget!

Waking up on New Year, everybody dresses up. First they extend greetings to

their parents. Then each child will get money as a New Year gift, wrapped up in

red paper. People in northern China will eat jiaozi, or dumplings, for

breakfast, as they think "jiaozi" in sound means "bidding farewell to the old

and ushering in the new". Also, the shape of the dumpling is like gold ingot

from ancient China. So people eat them and wish for money and treasure.

Southern Chinese eat niangao (New Year cake made of glutinous rice flour)

on this occasion, because as a homophone, niangao means "higher and higher, one

year after another." The first five days after the Spring Festival are a good

time for relatives, friends, and classmates as well as colleagues to exchange

greetings, gifts and chat leisurely.

China has 56 ethnic groups. Minorities celebrate their Spring Festival

almost the same day as the Han people, and they have different customs.
