我最喜欢的书是《丁丁历险记》里的丁丁，因为他：勇敢，善良，勇于尝试并乐于助人，他解决了许许多多的案件。

他为什么要管这些案件呢？因为有一次他去刚果游玩无意中发现有很多坏人在密谋坏事。丁丁心里想：我一定要阻止他们！丁丁用他的智慧把坏人都抓住了，但只有主谋逃跑了，主谋逃到了美洲，于是丁丁跟着到了美洲。

到了美洲之后，大幅主谋就对印第安族长说了许多丁丁的坏话，族长都信以为真，丁丁来到美洲就被印第安人抓住了，族长判丁丁死刑，在执行死刑的时候丁丁急中生智把树上的树胶弹了出去打倒了族长，族长以为是拿弹弓的孩子打的，但有一部分族人认为是丁丁打人，于是他们吵了起来……丁丁趁他们不注意偷偷溜了出来。

在丁丁身上我学到了很多，他就想我的老师教我勇敢地面对让我害怕的事情。如果你们也想看这本书，可以来找我哦！

Home of the most round moon, home of the most tea, home of the most alcohol, home food, the most impressive.

I was a Hakka. I left my hometown Meizhou from my childhood. I followed my parents to this strange land and opened up our new home. As I grew up in this new environment, the impression of my hometown was gradually blurred. But in my mind, it cant forget the hometown dish of my childhood taste buds.

Many home dishes are famous far and near, and those special flavors have attracted a lot of people. One of the most famous dishes is "Mei Cai Braised Pork", my dad is a generation old Hakka love. Although it sounds like this dish seems to be difficult to get in good taste, but this dish is representative of Hakka peoples diligence and frugality quality.

My father said, "our hometown is Mei Mei Cai Braised Pork" single dishes there are many complicated steps. When the farming harvest, the farmers harvest the mustard, then put it in the sun to matured, and then take the food to the ground, arrange it, and sprinkle a lot of salt on it. According to my father, when they were young, they were trampling the dishes with clean feet after the salt was sprinkled. After the tread, put it in a vessel to a degree, then take the steam, then take the sun... So the three steamed three sun, the earthly plum dried vegetables!

"Mei Cai Braised Pork" another character is meat, meat to choose "pork fat pork". Making this dish, put the Mei food dry cleaning, cut thin pieces, the fat basin under the streaky pork belly pieces, Mei dish, steamed for a long time, fat oil seeping into the plum dried vegetables, plum dried vegetables fragrance dipped into fat, opened a pot. Hot, delicious food Braised Pork pan mei! A pot of delicious food Braised Pork Mei can eat for a long time, because the salty, not perishable. A small pinch to the bowl, the fragrance of the four spilled, can pick up a few rice, that taste, to taste to understand. Such a dish reflects the diligence and frugality of the Hakka people, which is the favorite of the Hakka people.

When I heard my Dad talking about his hometown dishes, dad was fun, innocent, and rich in homesickness. In my fathers age, and cant eat "Mei Cai Braised Pork", to wait until the new year will kill pigs, so have a good heart is also waiting for Spring Festival to eat.

In my opinion, McDonalds and Kentucky fast food are far more infatuated than this dish. Maybe it is because I have not experienced the father of that era, cannot understand a dish not easily won; perhaps because there is no contact with the home, can not understand the charm of home cooking; perhaps because now no children of that age as difficult as father, do not know how precious home cooking. But from my fathers love for home food, I read the charm of my hometown cuisine, and I also fell in love with home food.

Home of the most round moon, home of the most tea, home wine is the most alcohol, home food is the most lingering.

Mothers love, like a long river, she quiet, occasionally with a slightly ripples; Her clear, can see the activity on pebbles in the river; She gently, such as the spring breeze slowly to send me. Mothers love for me, I also countless. However, in my impression deepest is the following a few things:

It was a summer night, suddenly the power went out, cant blow fanner. Hot cant sleep, my mother took their fan back and give me a breeze, let me fall asleep. Not only has a comfortable and cool, cool wind also mixed with mom to my thick love, bring me into the sweet dreams.

Another time, I in his home village and play with my cousin. I and my cousin play together I run, but with a small stones I tripped and fell. After I get up, I found more lap a wound, the wound is big and red, and blood flow out, it hurt so much I tears dc. Mother took me to the next to the small clinic simple after disinfection, ready to take me back home, but she was afraid to touch my wound, it just took me home.

Every night when I was learning, every once in a while, mother will always ask me: "daughter, thirst not thirsty, drink some water." And then holding a large glass of water. Water is always warm, let the house is full of warm meaning. Her mother know that I am afraid of hot, so the water right every time. She drink a first, say: "hot", just pass me water to drink.

The father loves the mountain, a mothers love is like the sea. Drop a mothers love can make a mothers love of the great river. Mom, I love you!

寒假里，我看了一本很奇妙的书，看完后我忍不住想再看一遍。

这本书讲了一个名叫爱丽丝的小女孩，在午后打盹，突然一只小白兔从她身边跑过。好奇的爱丽丝追随那只兔子，跳进了一个大大的兔子洞，开始了一段奇妙而惊险的旅程……在旅途中，她遇到了一群稀奇古怪的小动物，许多纸牌人士兵、红心国王和红心王后……最后，爱丽丝才知道这是一场梦！

从书中，我了解到爱丽丝是一个勇敢的小女孩。即使掉进了兔子洞里，也不惧怕。她一直往前走，虽然路途很艰险，但她没有退缩，而是通过自己的智慧克服了一个又一个困难。与爱丽丝相比，我觉得很惭愧。假如我掉进兔子洞里，我可能会吓得直打哆嗦。以后我也要学习爱丽丝的这种精神，勇敢地面对生活和学习中的一切困难和险阻！

小伙伴们，听了我精彩的介绍，你也一定想看了吧？那就赶快到书店里买下这本《爱丽丝漫游奇境记》吧！

因为我在作文竞赛中得了二等奖，老师奖励给了我一本《木偶的森林》。我用五天的时间把它看完了，后来我和吴庆龄换了一本《我和小姐姐克拉拉》，才看第一个故事，我就“毒”性发了，所以三天看完，我觉得这本书挺好看的。

故事的主人公还是“我”和克拉拉。其中我觉得最精彩的是“双色狗”。克拉拉把狗分成两份，“我”一份，克拉拉一份，并把它染成看金黄色和黑色。

还有一回，他们捡到一只可怜的猫，并把它带回家里，还要给狗看，大家都知道，狗和猫是不能和好的。果然，狗和猫闹了起来：家里简直被这两只狗和猫翻了顶。不过，从这两个故事来看，“我”和克拉拉爱护动物，我想，这就是他们对小动物的“爱”吧。

但是，他们也挺调皮的。他们在一起打来打去，没有分出胜负。可是聪明的克拉拉，却把晾衣绳当作比力气的材料，结果，“我”的裤子湿了，还破坏了两瓶花。要是我，早就等着妈妈的“风暴”了，可他们的妈妈却习以为常骂了他们一顿，我想，这是我一生中“最大”的难题吧。

总的来说，“我”和克拉拉也是挺乖的，也就是办了点“蠢事”：克拉拉给“我”剃了个光头，异想天开地创造一个马戏团。如果让我续写的话，我会让他们都乖乖的，可那样也就没意思了！

My favorite little animal bunny, it has a white fur, the play is very cute. Her two eyes are red, the play is like a pair of red gems. Sparkling. Every morning the little white rabbit to eat a carrot, two pieces of leaves, it is full.

Every day I put a study at noon, a home, it bouncing to jump in front of me, as if you are welcome to go home. I see it every day, even if I am not happy, I saw him I was very happy. Forget all those unhappy things.

In this way, I am more and more like my little rabbit, I must take good care of it!

每个人都看过很多书，也有自己最喜欢的一本书，这本书一定让你懂得了很多。而我最喜欢的一本书是杨绛先生写的《将饮茶》。

《将饮茶》的书名中虽然有一个茶字，可书中正文和茶一点都不搭边。为什么杨绛先生要给书取这个书名呢？她在书的前言里做了解释。原来，传说人死去的时候都会喝下孟婆茶，喝了孟婆茶，就会把前生的人和事都忘记。作者觉得自己已经老了，即将要饮孟婆茶了，为了不忘记，她要重新把这一生身边的人，干过的事，都重新回忆一遍，在喝茶之前把这些都写下来，所以书名叫做《将饮茶》。

这本书的作者是杨绛。她虽然是个女子，但却被尊称为“先生”，因为她非常有才华和学识。除了《将饮茶》，她的代表作还有：《洗澡》、《干校六记》、《我们仨》。她还是著名作家钱钟书的妻子，书中描写她和钱钟书是一对心有灵犀的夫妻，两人只要会意一笑，对方就能明白自己是什么意思。

书中包含了“回忆我的父亲”、“回忆我的姑母”、“记钱钟书与《围城》”、“丙午丁未年记事”和“隐身衣”等文章。这些故事让我知道了：杨绛的父亲杨荫杭是江苏无锡人，虽然成年时做了很多大事，但他说自己小时候就和普通孩子一样；杨绛的母亲很早就去世了；杨绛的姑母不愿意一个人出去，每次都会带上杨家的一群小孩。还有关于钱钟书写《围城》时的故事。

这本书让我知道了很多，让我不再看一些没有用的书籍，让我成长了很多，让我阅读中能够深入思考，让我爱上了阅读！

我最喜欢的一本书是《科学之谜》，它是我的小姨在无锡图书城給我买的。

它有好几本，每一本里都有许多稀奇古怪的传说，像什么海上蛇国之谜、人体带电之谜、动物思维之谜。

这本书的文字都带有拼音，这样我就能认识没有学过的字，理解文章的意思。在文章的边上还有丰富多彩的图画，就好像我真的到了那神奇的地方。

通过看这本书我增加了许多知识，丰富了我的想象力。让我感到这个世界多么奇妙！

我觉得小姨給我买的这本书真好看！我好喜欢。

从我识字以来，就阅读过连环画、故事书、小说、名著等。在这书中，让我挑选一本最喜欢的书，还真不容易，因为我的每一本书都被我深深的喜爱者，我都会被书中情节所打动，我都会跟着故事情节或笑逐颜开，或泣不成声。我选了四大名著之一的《红楼梦》我不禁对它爱不释手，还白“吃”不厌。在我的书柜中，就有四本红楼梦，每一本是一个我的读书档次。

我总认为《红楼梦》最伟大、最成功之处，就在于它是一种凄凉、败落的美，在这本书中最引我注意的莫过于林黛玉。林黛玉是一个生性娇弱的女子，她没有宝钗的落落大方，也没有史湘云的大大咧咧。正象贾宝玉所说：“心较比干多一窍，病如西施胜三分。”

也许，她因病而死是我早就料到的后果。可我怎麽也料到，一个从小到大受人疼爱的她死时，竟没有贾母、宝玉在床边看她。读到这里我的眼泪已经把书溱湿了，可我觉得这样很好，因为她再也不会葬花悲哀，也不会为焚书而哭泣。有人说，黛玉是被气死的，的确，她是含恨而终的，可我反对，她自幼多病，本身注定的结果，谁又能把它改变呢？：“含恨而终”只是黛玉无故死去的一个借口吧！

初读《红楼梦》，我并不与冰心奶奶的想法相同，我只是觉得林黛玉非常可怜，那时，我都已经为她的身世而流泪。

《红楼梦》最吸引我的是什麽地方呢？人物？语句？内容？我觉得应该是结局吧！我并不是嘲笑它的结局的悲观吧，我只是觉得受苦的人升天，让可恶的人惨败，结局真的不错。

此时此刻，我又想起了那首诗：

满纸荒唐言，一把辛酸泪。

都云作者痴，水解其中味！

微风乍起，吹得阳光洒落一地，“哗啦哗啦”，我坐在阳台上，享受着风的清凉，观赏着远方的风景，不经意间，瞥见那本我最喜欢的一本书《总想回到你身边》。

封面仍是熟悉的纹路，像许久未见的老友掌中的脉络。

慭慭然翻开书，依然刻着那清晰而有温暖人心的字，我却总爱读书中主人公被困难种种阻挠的执着。

书中主人公男孩王买松跟着油漆工爸爸从遥远的贵州来到苏南沿海城市生活。临近春节，王买松和爸爸都希望回贵州与亲人团聚。然而身边发生的一件件意想不到的事，动摇父子回家的决心，阻挠着父子俩回家的脚步，他们一次次满心欢喜的确定回家的日子，又一次次无奈的将好不容易买到的火车票退掉。后来，父子俩终于放下了所有的牵绊，决定花大价钱乘长途汽车回家，但却又出现了新的问题……文中买买所述，回家的路为什么绕那么多个弯儿？奖金、大雪、意外、干活……

想到这里，我不禁潸然泪下，对于我们大多数来说，回家是多么简单而又快的事，但在买买这里，回家却又是多么奢侈、多么漫长的事……远处传来一阵鸟鸣，使我神似一阵抽搐，睁开眼，目光所及已一片模糊。

主人公买买对亲情看得十分厚重，对于亲人，他们甚至不顾一切，一个刚满13岁的孩子只身上路，回距离那么远的家乡。那需要多大的勇气来战胜它呀，真的很为他骄傲！

这一身中，最重要的就是亲人，错过了亲情也就错过了一生……

高尔基曾经说过一句话：书籍是人类进步析阶梯。我看过很多书，有《小红帽》、《长袜子皮皮》、《昆虫记》……但我最喜欢的是《昆虫记》。

昆虫记的作者是法布尔。法布尔非常喜欢观察昆虫，他把自己观察到的昆虫都真实地记录了下来。法布尔也很仔细，用不同的方式来找昆虫的特点，他写的昆虫记大多有二十几本呢！

有一次，我到图书馆里准备借一本有关蜜蜂的书，忽然，那本《昆虫记》映入了我的眼帘，被我深深地吸引住了。我知道这书里面的内容跟蜜蜂有很密切的关系，于是我找了很久的蜜蜂来仔细观察。

我借了《昆虫记》回到了家以后，就把书放到阳台上看。突然，有一只蜜蜂飞过来，书上的和这一模一样，哦！原来这是节腹泥蜂呀！《昆虫记》还说了节腹泥蜂是个厉害的捕捉能手，可以捉住全部的象鼻虫，不管再好、再强、再厉害的象鼻虫都可以被随时捉住的。啊！原来捕捉能手——节腹泥蜂这么厉害啊！有着无敌的能力啊！

第二个艺术专家那就是——砂泥蜂，砂泥蜂的外形十分有趣，起先是一个矮矮胖胖的幼虫，慢慢地就变成了高高瘦瘦的砂泥蜂，大概有一根面条和铅笔这么高，看起来非常苗条。砂泥蜂有很多种类，比如银色的砂泥蜂……

我看完关于砂泥蜂和节腹泥蜂的内容，它们的确都是很厉害的昆虫。法布尔的《昆虫记》，都是他认真、仔细观察的结果，才写出了各式各样个性鲜明的昆虫。以后，我要博览群书，像法布尔一样仔细观察生活中的事物，做一个热爱大自然的有心人！

同学们，你们喜欢看书吗？那就看看《昆虫记》吧！

同学们，你们一定读过很多书吧，比如漫画书、科幻书……今天我给大家推荐的才不是这些书呢，而是一位美国着名作家谢尔。希尔弗斯坦写的《爱心树》。

虽然这本书没有精彩的插图，但是它那丰富的内容深深地吸引着我。这是发生在一个小孩和一棵果树之间的故事。

从前，有一个小孩和一棵果树成了朋友。小孩经常爬上果树吃果子；在树下休息；在树上荡秋千……——大树很快乐。当那个小孩长成了成年人时，他又来到果树旁边。果树说：“孩子，再爬上树吃点果子吧！”这时那青年人说：“谢谢，我不是来吃果子的，而是需要造意见房子。”果树说：“当然可以啊，你爬到我的身上，把树枝砍下来，就可以早间房子了。”于是，青年人把树枝砍了下来。——大树很快乐。数年以后，青年人一直没有回来看大树，大树很寂寞。终于有一天，大树看见那个年轻人时，他已经很老了。大树乐得说不出话来，他声音沙哑的说：“非常抱歉，我没有社么可以给你了》”那个老年人说：“我恨疲倦，想休息一会。”说完，老人坐在了树墩上，大树挺直身体，尽量把身体天灾老人身上。——大树很快乐。

读了这本书，我最喜欢这本书里的大树了。因为，孩子需要什么，大树就尽量满足孩子，它是一棵多么有爱心的树啊！读了这本书，我想到了妈妈和老师，她们也象大树一样照顾着我，她们很快乐，我也很快乐。同学们，难道你们不想看一看这棵有爱心的大树吗？

I am xx.  I was born in xx.  I graduate from senior high school and major in English.  I started learning English since I was 12 years old.  My parents have a lot of American friends.  That’s why I have no problem communicating with Americans or others by speaking English.

In my spare time, I like to do anything relating to English such as listening to English songs, watching English movies or TV programs, or even attending the activities held by some English clubs or institutes.  I used to go abroad for a short- term English study.  During that time, I learned a lot of daily life English and saw a lot of different things.

I think language is very interesting.  I could express one substanceby using different sounds.  So I wish I could study and read more English literatures and enlarge my knowledge.

我读过很多书，其中我最喜欢的一本就是《牧羊少年奇幻之旅》。

看这本书前，我还看了一下自序。最后有一个小故事：所有神甫都向圣母表达他们的崇敬。最后一位神甫只会杂耍，他没有因为兄弟谴责的目光而放弃，而是有一种想为耶稣和圣母奉献点什么的强烈愿望。之后，他就玩起了杂耍，小耶稣笑了，于是圣母就让那位神甫抱了抱小耶稣。我想：自序里有这么耐人寻味的故事，这本书一定会让我们懂得什么吧？

“没有信心的人不会有起点，信心不足的人不会有终点。”和“当你想要某种东西时，整个宇宙会合力祝你实现愿望。”这两句话让我印象十分深刻。文中的男孩为了追求梦想而遇到了许多困难。有许多人劝他别去追梦，可是他却一直很有信心，他认为只要自己努力了，上天都会知道，也一定会合力完成自己的梦想。在生活中也是如此。如果一个人想考好成绩，努力地复习，那么他就一定能考好。

看到男孩最终的结局，我懂得了财富不在远方，财富就在我们脚下，但我们却需要通过九死一生的寻找，才会有所悟。这也是我喜欢这本书的原因。

我相信，只要努力地追求梦想，成功就在你身边！

Hello everyone,

my name is Lee. This is really a great honor to have this opportunity, and I believe I can make good performance today. Now I will introduce myself briefly. I am 20 years old，born in Guangdong province, south of China, and I am a senior student at Guangdong ××University. My major is English. And I will receive my bachelor degree after my graduation in June.

In the past four years, I spent most of my time on study. I passed CET4 and CET6 with a ease and acquired basic theoretical and practical knowledge of Language. Besides, I have attended several Speech competition held in Beijing, which really showed our professional advantages. I have taken a tour to some big factories and companies, through which I got a deep understanding of English for application.

Compared to developed countries, unfortunately, although we have made extraordinary progress since 1998, our packaging industry is still underdeveloped, messy and unstable, and the situation of employees in the field is awkward. But I have full confidence in its bright future if only our economy can be kept at the growth pace still. I guess you may be interested in why I choose this job. I would like to tell you that this job is one of my lifelong goals.

If I can work here,I will work hard. As to my character, I cannot describe it well, but I know I am optimistic and confident. Sometimes I prefer to stay alone, reading and listening to the music, but I am not lonely, for I like to chat with my classmates about almost everything. My favorite pastime is to play volleyball, to play cards or to surf online. From life at university, I learn how to balance study and entertainment. By the way, I was an actor in our amazing drama club. I have a few glorious memories on stage.

I come from Enshi, Hubei Province, a small developing town. I like to watch

the scenery, walk, chat on the Internet and play games.

In sports, I occasionally play basketball, football, soldier ball and

badminton.

For the coming college life, my expectation is to learn English well, adapt

to college life as soon as possible,

and also hope to know more friends. Wonderful four years of University.

In addition, I am professional and solid, reading is my greatest enjoyment,

and studying computer makes me feel happy.

Im practical in my work, and Ill finish no matter how small I am.

I can repair the computer, manage the network, network operation and online

sales.

Whats important is that I have a kind of spirit of persevering in

research, a kind of neck that will never stop until I understand.

The qingming (Pure Brightness) Festival is one of the 24 seasonal division points in China, falling on April 4-6 each year. After the festival, the temperature will rise up and rainfall increases. It is the high time for spring plowing and sowing. But the qingming Festival is not only a seasonal point to guide farm work, it is more a festival of commemoration.

The qingming Festival sees a combination of sadness and happiness.

This is the most important day of sacrifice. Both the Han and minority ethnic groups at this time offer sacrifices to their ancestors and sweep the tombs of the diseased. Also, they will not cook on this day and only cold food is served.

The Hanshi (Cold Food) Festival was usually one day before the qingming Festival. As our ancestors often extended the day to the qingming, they were later combined.

On each qingming Festival, all cemeteries are crowded with people who came to sweep tombs and offer sacrifices. Traffic on the way to the cemeteries becomes extremely jammed. The customs have been greatly simplified today. After slightly sweeping the tombs, people offer food, flowers and favorites of the dead, then burn incense and paper money and bow before the memorial tablet.

In contrast to the sadness of the tomb sweepers, people also enjoy hope of Spring on this day. The qingming Festival is a time when the sun shines brightly, the trees and grass become green and nature is again lively. Since ancient times, people have followed the custom of Spring outings. At this time tourists are everywhere.

People love to fly kites during the qingming Festival. Kite flying is actually not limited to the qingming Festival. Its uniqueness lies in that people fly kites not during the day, but also at night. A string of little lanterns tied onto the kite or the thread look like shining stars, and therefore, are called "gods lanterns."

The qingming Festival is also a time to plant trees, for the survival rate of saplings is high and trees grow fast later. In the past, the qingming Festival was called "Arbor Day". But since 1979, "Arbor Day" was settled as March 12 according to the Gregorian calendar.
