created. The Great Wall is the most famous to foreigners. Many of them come to

Beijing and have a look at this great tourist sites. As the damage from

environment and human beings, this great wonder needs us to protect. So it is

important to be a polite tourist.

As an outgoing junior school student, I have many interests, such as

watching movies, reading books, searching the Internet, playing computer games,

attending various sports. In the spare time, the one thing I like most is

watching movies, because it’s very convenient and interesting. Usually, movies

tell wonderful stories to us. They are humorous, sad, happy, intricate or

thought-provoking. You can get many from a good movie. Besides, my favorite

sport is basketball. Every time after I play basketball, I feel relaxed. I focus

on the game and I don’t let anything to influence on me. It’s really a wonderful

feeling.

Among the four seasons in the year, my favorite season is autumn. In

autumn, the weather is very comfortable. It feels so great after the hot summer.

Therefore, I like going outside for hiking in autumn. I can enjoy the beautiful

scenery of nature. Besides, autumn is a season of harvest. Farmers are busy with

their farm work. After such long time of hardworking, its time for them to

enjoy their fruits of labor. After the harvest, they are going to prepare for

the new year. Therefore, harvest means a lot to the farmers, because it is able

to bring a good new year to farmers.

In a year, there are four seasons in my hometown and they are very

different to each other. The spring is comfortable while the summer is too hot

to stand. The autumn is cool and winter is very cold. The season I like most is

autumn. Except for the cool weather, the beautiful scenery is my favorite. When

it comes to autumn, all leaves turn to yellow gradually. At that time, the

scenery is amazing. Besides, when the leaves fall in to the ground, it feels so

great walking on it. In addition, I like to travel in the autumn, because I want

to take a look at the different views of autumn.

Since I went to middle school, I had told myself that I was not a little

kid anymore. I needed to grow up. So the first thing is not to ask my parents

for help at the first time. I should take some time to think about the

difficulty and then figure out the solution. If I ask my parents immediately, I

will never be mature, as I always want to depend on them. But if I can’t solve

the problem, I will turn to my friends for help. They can give me some advice

and I will make my own judgement. At last, the suggestion from my parents won’t

be ignored. It is the most useful.

It maybe our common desires to experience a meaning life, but when it comes

to the topic “How to live a meaningful life”, the opinions are divided. In

someone’s eyes, they agree that a meaningful life is just a comfortable life

which means they can enjoy themselves as possible as they can.

However, personally in my view, if we spend our whole life in pursuing

things only for ourselves, we will surely let ourselves down when we look back.

There’s an old saying that goes “The greatest use of life is to spend it for

something that will outlast it”. I can’t agree more. If there is a way to avoid

a disappointed life, it should be to try our best to find meaningful things

which can also make contributions to the whole society. Even a single man can

make a big difference to the world. Not to mention that everyone get together to

bring changes to the society.

It’s high time that we took measures to experience a meaning life. What’s

more, it’s never too late to start a meaning life. So be yourself, enjoy your

happiness and be helpful to others. That’s the meaning life worth living.

Today, we have a health class. The main content is the harm of haze.

We watched a movie called "the harm of haze", which mainly explained how

terrible haze is.

Haze passed through our bodies, just like games. It comes to the blood

vessel first, let the partners block the blood vessel together, so our blood

pressure will rise; it also has a partner who is less than 0.5cm and has a knife

in both hands, and can directly pass through the blood vessel; it comes to the

internal organs, which are like a tree, and there is white fat like a giant,

which can directly eat the dirty things. However, we have iron ore in our body.

If we eat too much white fat, we will die. This is a blood station! So the

resistance of man has decreased. Its finally at the center - the heart, because

we just blocked your blood vessels, so your heart will cause myocardial

ischemia. "Tremble! Human beings! Im in every breath of yours, "cried haze.

Haze has a great influence on us. With haze, we cant play in the

playground, cant have physical education class, and we need to wear a little

annoying mask. Therefore, we should protect the environment and nature. As long

as you start little by little, you will be able to achieve the results you

want.

Dear Jim,

I’m writing to tell you more about the new form of sharing bike--mobike

mentioned in your latest letter.

It’s very convenient to use if you have a smartphone. What you do is to

find a nearest mobike through the APP, scan the QR code on the bike, and enjoy

your trip.

Compared to other forms of sharing bike, the greatest advantage of mobike

is that you can easily find one and never worry about where to park it. It is

becoming a new trend as a means of transportation, which relieves the traffic

pressure and does good to the environment as well.

Hope to ride a mobike with you in China.

Yours,

Li Hua

Today is fathers day, when I went to school, I heard my classmates were

discussing about what to buy for their fathers. Some suggested to buy food,

others wanted to do something special by themselves. At last, an idea occurred

to my mind, I could cook a dinner for my father. So I rushed home after class.

My mother was preparing dinner. I told her my idea and she supported me. I did

as what my mother told me. I washed the food and then cut the meat and

vegetable. I learned it was not easy to cook a meal. I finished two dishes

finally. My father was very happy to taste them. It was such a special

surprise.

My name is Beth. Im 14 years old, and I study in No. 1 Middle School of

Hangzhou. My school is very big and beautiful. Im very happy in the school.

I usually get up at 6:15 in the morning. Then I do morning exercises in the

playground. At 6:40, I have my breakfast. You can see many students and teachers

in the dinning room. After breakfast, I often read English with my

classmates.

We have six classes every day. The first class begins at 7:50 am. I like

all the classes for my teachers can make the classes lively and interesting. My

favorite subject is English, so I join English Corner every week. I can speak

English with many other students there. Its very interesting and exciting. I

think its helpful for me to learn English well. After class, I always play

games with my friends. We play soccer ball,basketball, volleyball, ping-pong and

so on. They are very relaxing.

I like my lessons, my friends and my teachers. In a word, I love my school.

I find my school life more and more meaningful and colorful. My school life is

wonderful, isnt it?

Nowadays, more and more people realize the harm of smoking and the damage

it bring to the people around us. Considered the health of people themseves and

the one they care, many smokers try their best to give up smoking. When quiting

smoking, I have some suggestions. First of all, people should have strong will

on giving up smoking. Personal determination is the most important factor. When

feeling eager to smoke, people should think about the damage of smoking and the

people they love. And then they can strengthen their will not to smoke.

Secondly, sweep away all the cigarette around. They can’t find any cigarette

when they want to smoke. And then after a while, their wants for smoke will

reduce gradually. Last but not least, prepare some candies in the pocket, when

people want to smoke, eat candies instead. Hope every smoker succeed in the

end.

From this incident，we can see that there are still more things to be done。

Firstly，the government needs everything possible to ensure the quality of

products，particularly the safety of food as this concerns everyones

life.Secondly，as for the producers，it is very important for them to be morally

honest. They should never try to pursue profit or economic growth at the expense

of health and life of people. Thirdly，we consumers must attach importance to the

things we eat and develop an awareness of how to protect our legal rights if

cheated。 Only in this way will we be able to build a more secure and harmonious

society.

Do your teachers still use traditional techniques to teach you nowadays? A

revol- ution in teaching techniques is required now. In the past, we just took

it for granted that a teacher s aim was to teach the students all that he knew

and solve all the problems for them. Therefore, students could mot judge things

on their own under this circumstance. Thus students gradually lost the ability

to learn by themselves. In addition, they were only equipped with the knowledge

that were taught in class and made the same judgement upon every problem which

might crop up. Of course, they would find their knowledge not enough to solve

practical problems.

So it is time to change the teaching method. A teacher s goal is to help

the students develop not only the ability to learn by themselves but the skills

to make judgements on every aspect on their own. It s not necessary for the

students to turn to teachers for help while meeting with difficulties. The first

thing is to develop the students abilities to make sound judgements upon any

problem and overcome difficulties.

All in all, the aim of teaching is to liberate, but mot to fetter the

students innate powers of making sound judgements.

When girls get together, they like gossip. They always talk about the topic of beauty. They will discuss who is the most beautiful girl in school or they will compare the girls and see who is more charming. As the young people, they usually judge people from appearance. The definition of beauty of course is the one who is thinner and has the pretty face. When they ask me which one is more attractive, then I will look at them for a while, because I want to perceive their personality. My view on beauty is not only from appearance as I think most girls have the pretty faces, but also from the inside, only the quality that differentiates them. The pretty faces will fade away anyway, only the quality that helps people to keep charming. So we need to cultivate the good quality.

女孩喜欢八卦，当她们聚在一起时，总是谈论美的话题。她们会讨论谁是学校里最美丽的女孩或者比较谁更有魅力。因为年轻，所以她们通常是从外貌判断一个人，理所当然的认为美丽的定义是瘦跟漂亮的脸蛋。当她们问我哪一个女孩子更有魅力的时候，我会看一会，因为我想想想她们的品行。我觉得大多数女孩都有着漂亮的脸蛋，所以我认为美不仅是外表，还有内心美，只有品行能把她们区分开来。漂亮的面孔会逐渐老去，只有品行可以永远保持魅力。所以我们需要培养良好的品行。

Stepping into the new century, environment pollution has become more

serious than ever since. There are different kinds of pollution. Such as, water

pollution, air pollution and noise pollution and so on. It seems that we live on

a planet which is full of pollution. Where all these pollution comes from? To a

large extend, the environmental destruction is the heavy price that we pay for

the rapid development of economy and the growing population. In order to have

more fuel, people cut down trees and dig more corals. But the growing needs for

energy are hardly to meet. Countless private cars on the street, the gas

stations are short of gasoline, even the government has raise the price so many

times in order to control the needs of gasoline, but it’s still not working.

Overusing the natural resources has already affected the ecological balance.

However, the factories still release the toxic air into the sky and the polluted

water into the rivers. People still lack of the conscious of protecting the

environment. I think it’s time for all of us to do something.

The government should put forward some more strict laws to prevent the

environment from being further polluted. And they should let people know more

about the importance of environment protection. And we should find the balance

between the economic growth and environmental protection. Plant more trees in

the deserts and stop cutting down the forest. Forbid the factories to pour the

waste water into the rivers directly. Encourage people to use public

transportations to work. Both government and ordinary people should join hands

together to make our home clean and fresh again. Only in this way, our earth

could be a better place to live in.

Today many college students have their own hobbies. For example, some of

them like singing; some of them enjoy playing the guitar; some of them are keen

on painting; some of them are crazy about taking photos, and so on.

I think it’s meaning for college students to have hobbies, because hobbies

can benefit them a lot. On one hand, after a long-time study, hobbies can make

them feel relaxed. On the other hand, when they feel depressed, hobbies can

bring them happiness. Furthermore, hobbies can mould their temperament as well

as show their characteristics.

However, some students are so addicted to their hobbies that they spend

less time on study. How foolish of them to do so! In my view, if we focus too

much on one thing, either our studies or hobbies will be badly affected. Thus,

we are supposed to balance them in a proper way.

According to the variety of social background, personal experience and

personal emotion, differernt people have different opinions towards things.

Thus, there is no doubt that generation gap exists everywhere. We always find

that there are big differences between us and the old generation. We always

regard the old are outdated, while they think us are crazy. They can’t bear the

dress we like, the fashion we pursue or even our childish thinking. Instead, we

could put up with their standpat thingking and their “feudal rulers”. Thus, the

generation gap becomes more and more obvious and serious. However, why don’t we

realize that opinions can be changed, while people can’t. So, we can think in an

other way, learn to accept. It is certain that we can narrow the generation gap

to live a more harmonious life.

With the development of e-commerce, shopping online becomes a new way of

shopping which is getting more and more popular. Many citizens are likely to

shop through internet nowadays.

Generally speaking, shopping online offers lots of advantages with its

convenience the most prominent. There are many commodities on the internet where

you can search whatever you want. Besides, you just click the mouse can you get

all information you want, so that you don’t have to go to the shop personally.

In addtition, the commodities on the Internet is usually cheaper than the stores

which can save much money.

However, everything has two sides. You can not see the products or check

their qualities and some of the sellers on the Internet is not so honest. And,

for those who enjoys shopping around different stores, shopping online perhaps

will make them bored.

In my opinion, shopping online has more advantages than disadvantages, and

with the improvement of e-commerce, there will be more people to shop on the

Internet.

Nowadays, an increasing number of people are willing to serve as volunteers

especially the university students in that they consider that volunteering is

not only a great contribution to our society and those who are in need, but also

improves themselves in many aspects.

For one thing, there is no doubt that volunteering makes contribution to

our society and people in need. The volunteers provide their assistance without

requiring any financial rewards. Their contributions have a great impact on

harmony society contribution.

For another, serving as a volunteer is also beneficial to the volunteers

themselves. They can improve their communication skills when providing help for

others. One of the examples is that the university students who serve in Canton

Fair will get a great chance to practical their English and get in touch with

different kinds of people as well as broad their horizon. In addition, by

serving as different kinds of volunteers, they are easier to understand

themselves and know in which fields they are interested.

In a word, volunteering has brought many benefits to our society, those who

are in need as well as the volunteers themselves. Therefore, let us enjoy the

time when serving as a volunteer.

It has been two years since I first got to university. Some of my

classmates say that the college life is boring, because they have plenty of time

but do not know what to do. However, from my point of view, the campus life in

college is interesting and colorful as long as you make it meaningful.

In the first semester in college, I didnt relax and I still worked hard as

I was in the senior school. I usually spent two hours in study at night and I

went to the classroom forautonomous learning.But the difference is that I have

many extracurricular activities. For example, I went to the English Corner

regularly on Tuesday night, in which I could practice my spoken English and make

friends with common interests.

Besides, I join the Student Union of my department. In the Student Union, I

have a group of workmates who work hard together and support to each other.

Actually, it looks like a big, warm family that we can share our lives together.

During various activities, I realize the importance of team spirit that helps us

go further.

Finally, college is great stage to improve a student and show ones

abilities. In college, I know more about our society and get more channels to

explore the outside world. I realize that I am not only a student but also an

adult who is preparing to step into the society.

In short, I cherish my life in college campus and I will try hard to make

it colorful as well as meaningful.

Dragon Boat race Traditions

At the center of this festival are the dragon boat races. Competing teams drive their colorful dragon boats forward to the rhythm of beating drums. These exciting races were inspired by the villagers valiant attempts to rescue Chu Yuan from the Mi Luo river. This tradition has remained unbroken for centuries.

Tzung Tzu

A very popular dish during the Dragon Boat festival is tzung tzu. This tasty dish consists of rice dumplings with meat, peanut, egg yolk, or other fillings wrapped in bamboo leaves. The tradition of tzung tzu is meant to remind us of the village fishermen scattering rice across the water of the Mi Luo river in order to appease the river dragons so that they would not devour Chu Yuan.

Ay Taso

The time of year of the Dragon Boat Festival, the fifth lunar moon, has more significance than just the story of Qu Yuan. Many Chinese consider this time of year an especially dangerous time when extra efforts must be made to protect their family from illness. Families will hang various herbs, called Ay Tsao, on their door for protection. The drinking of realgar wine is thought to remove poisons from the body. Hsiang Bao are also worn. These sachets contain various fragrant medicinal herbs thought to protect the wearer from illness.

翻译：风俗习惯端午节最重要的活动是龙舟竞赛。比赛的队伍他们多彩的龙舟前进的鼓声中。这项活动的灵感是来自村民的勇敢的尝试营救汨罗江畔的屈原。这个传统一直保持了几个世纪。

粽子非常受欢迎的菜在端午节粽子。粽子的米包着肉、花生、蛋黄及其他材料，再以竹叶包裹。而粽子的传统是为了提醒我们的渔夫，将米丢进汨罗河水安抚蛟龙，希望他们不要将屈原吃掉。

塔索(Taso)的时间每年的端午节，农历的第五天，具有更多的意义，不仅仅是屈原的故事。许多中国人认为每年的这个时候，一个特别危险的时候，必须做出额外的努力，保护家人免受疾病。家庭在门上将挂各种草药，叫驱邪。喝雄黄酒被认为是去除体内的毒物。香包也穿，它是以含有多种香味药草认为保护人们远离疾病。
