the mid-autumn festival falls on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month, usually in october in gregorian calendar.

每年农历八月十五日，是传统的中秋佳节。这时是一年秋季的中期，所以被称为中秋。

the festival has a long history. in ancient china, emperors followed the rite of offering sacrifices to the sun in spring and to the moon in autumn. historical books of the zhou dynasty had had the word "mid-autumn". later aristocrats and literary figures helped expand the ceremony to common people. they enjoyed the full, bright moon on that day, worshipped it and expressed their thoughts and feelings under it. by the tang dynasty (618-907), the mid-autumn festival had been fixed, which became even grander in the song dynasty (960-1279). in the ming (1368-1644) and qing (1644-1911) dynasties, it grew to be a major festival of china.

中秋节有悠久的历史，和其它传统节日一样，也是慢慢发展形成的，古代帝王有春天祭日，秋天祭月的礼制，早在《周礼》一书中，已有“中秋”一词的记载。后来贵族和文人学士也仿效起来，在中秋时节，对着天上又亮又圆一轮皓月，观赏祭拜，寄托情怀，这种习俗就这样传到民间，形成一个传统的活动，一直到了唐代，这种祭月的风俗更为人们重视，中秋节才成为固定的节日，《唐书·太宗记》记载有“八月十五中秋节”，这个节日盛行于宋朝，至明清时，已与元旦齐名，成为我国的主要节日之一。

folklore about the origin of the festival go like this: in remote antiquity, there were ten suns rising in the sky, which scorched all crops and drove people into dire poverty. a hero named hou yi was much worried about this, he ascended to the top of the kunlun mountain and, directing his superhuman strength to full extent, drew his extraordinary bow and shot down the nine superfluous suns one after another. he also ordered the last sun to rise and set according to time. for this reason, he was respected and loved by the people and lots of people of ideals and integrity came to him to learn martial arts from him. a person named peng meng lurked in them.

相传，远古时候天上有十日同时出现，晒得庄稼枯死，民不聊生，一个名叫后羿的英雄，力大无穷，他同情受苦的百姓，登上昆仑山顶，运足神力，拉开神弓，一气射下九个多太阳，并严令最后一个太阳按时起落，为民造福。后羿因此受到百姓的尊敬和爱戴，不少志士慕名前来投师学艺，心术不正的蓬蒙也混了进来。

for example, knowledge cannot be bought with money. one cannot be rich in knowledge unless he studies hard. time cannot be bought with money, either. who can buy even a second with money?

there are still many other things that cannot be bought with money: health,life, happiness,friendship, love and so on. just think, if a person hasnt these things at all, is the money still useful?

now, do you think money is everything?

The most important thing for children to enjoy is not only to wear new clothes and play firecrackers during the new year, but also to receive the lucky money that adults give to them. The big people send red packets to the younger generation, which means to bring them the best wishes and good luck. The amount of money in the red packet is not important, mainly to make the children happy, the main meaning is in the red paper, because it is a symbol of good luck.

In the sound of the firecrackers, the Spring Festival has passed long ago, but the taste of the year is still lingering, and it still gives people endless aftertaste.

Dear Miss Brown,

I am writing to express my sincere thanks to you for caring me in the last

two years. During the days of being your student, I learn a lot. Firstly, your

serious attitude towards teaching and our students moves me too much. You

inspire and push me to work harder and harder. Secondly, I fall in love with

English under the influence of you. As a student of science and engineering,

I’ve been thinking that English does no good to me, but you help me to find the

fabulous glamour of English that leads me to know a totally different world and

develop a different way of thinking. Finally, your continuous encouragement

supports me a lot when I meet challenges or difficulties. You said that

everything to the last will certainly become a good thing, if it is not, not yet

to the last. Every time, remembering your words, I am so inspired to keep

going.

Above all, I want to say thank you again and please accept my sincere

appreciation. Best wishes for you.

The environment is everything around us,for example,air,water,animals,plants,buildings and so on.They all affect us in many ways and closely related to our lives.People cant live without the environment. Everybody needs to breathe air,drink water and eat food every day.We burn coal to keep warm,and we use wood to make paper.As a result,we become the part of the environment.

The environment has been getting wores and wores for many years.We have been upgrading our living standard, meanwhile the environment has been polluted.Somke form factory chimneys pollutesthe air.Machines and engines make noises that annoy us constantly.Animals are homeless because the forcests are decreasing every minute.Streets are crowded with people and vehicles.The environment painful for us to live in it now.So its time to solve those problems.

easter is a religious holiday that commemorates the resurrection of jesus christ three days after his death by crucifixion some 2,000 years ago. for christians, easter is a day of religious services and the gathering of family.

the genesis of easter was rooted in pagan gods that were worshiped prior to canadas existence; but for canada, easter began and continues to be celebrated as a christian event.

in many churches easter is preceded by a season of prayer, abstinence, and fasting called lent. this is observed in memory of the 40 days fast of christ in the desert. in eastern orthodox churches lent is 50 days. in western christendom lent is observed for six weeks and four days.

I think smiling is as important as sunshine. Smiling is like sunshine

because it can make people happy and have a good day. If you aren’t happy, you

can smile, and then you will feel happy. Someone may say, “But I don’t feel

happy.” Then I would say, “Please smile as you do when you are happy or play

with your friends happily. You will really be happy again.”

You don’t like crying, right? So you must prefer smiling, because you know

smiling will let people forget everything unhappy. Every day, we see teachers or

students and say, “Hi/Hello! How are you?” At the same time, you are smiling,

right?

Smiling can let you have more friends. With a smile, people will know

you’re a kind person. They will talk with you, so you will have more and more

friends.

So I say, smiling is like a flower, the sunshine, warmth. It will give you

happiness.

In the traditional view, a woman needs to sacrifice a lot when she marries.

For example, she has to quit the job and give birth to a baby, which makes her

look older and not that beautiful anymore. But in the modern society, the new

moms change peoples idea. A lot of mothers look still young and beautiful. They

have done some work to keep the body shape and take regular exercise, no matter

how busy they are. I admire these woman, some even make her career so well. They

find the balance between family and work, which makes them charming all the

time. The hot moms deserve the girls to learn from them.

Dear Mr. Wang,

Thank you for taking the time to write your wonderful letter in support of

MCEA (Maywood Chinese Education Association). Your letter clearly articulates

all the major reasons children in Maywood will benefit from studying the Chinese

language as part of their elementary school education. It provides invaluable

support that will help making bilingual Chinese education a reality in Maywood

public schools.

Although MCEA would like to see Palo Alto public schools implement the

first bilingual Chinese kindergarten class in September of 2006, we have learned

that the school district must take the time to understand how a new program will

affect existing educational offerings, and to validate community interest.

Nevertheless, MCEA, with more than 70 members, will continue to actively promote

bilingual Chinese education in the Palo Alto public schools and will keep you

apprised of the progress we make.

Thanks again for sending a letter in support of MCEA. We will continue to

do all we can to realize this program both for families of Chinese descent and

those with a general interest in participating in the growing economic power of

China.

Yours sincerely,

George Chen

Someone said, "if a man has a certain goal and keeps working hard for it, he will succeed."Is that true?

Once upon a time a fisherman made a vow before each fish.What is the highest price on the market is ready to catch, but not to want.The result had to go away empty-handed and finally died in the cold.The fisherman is not without goals, but is unrealistic.So the goal of life is to choose.

If the Louvre catches fire, which picture do you save?Many people want to save the Mona Lisa, the famous writer Bernard

The answer is: "I saved the painting that was closest to the exit."His reasoning: "the best goal of success is not the most valuable one, but the most likely one."This little story tells us that choosing goals must be the most likely.Because when you pursue the most valuable target -- the Mona Lisa, its very likely that no one will be rescued, and youll be buried in flames.We can only choose the most likely goal, which is to cut the right target.

My goal in life was to be the best parent of my parents, and to be the best student at school, I would be the most outstanding person in society.Such a goal makes me very tired, no matter how hard I try, I cant be the best.So I reestablished my goal, to be filial children, to be one of the outstanding students.The goal is realistic, and Im getting closer to that goal.I am confident that I will achieve this goal, so I am happy every day.It will come to society and my goal is to be a peoples policeman.Because I believe that I will be able to protect the peoples property.When I think of my goals, I cant help but be angry and have a special spirit.

Childhood is like a cup of strong coffee, warm to your heart or;Childhood is like a cup of light tea, let you every aftertaste.Childhood is like the rainbow after the storm, colorful;Flowery and clinking, childhood is like a corner after sunset, so miss;Also like the curved path, let you continue to thrive.The wind is not possible to the warm memories to blow away;Rain is falling all it impossible to get this one moving melody.Only a lovely, gentle sunshine would it have been preserved.

Memories and ordinary things, things may be small, but the memories is so moved, because had these memories!Can continue to progress, the pursuit, in this way can we grow up,

That year, is a heavy snow season.At that time, I was only 7 years old!

That day, in the morning, I just wake up, opened the eyes, and saw there was a haze of light snow, a short time later, the wind settle, snow slowly stopped.And IThe elder brotherOpened the door and a white light made me feel dazzling, so I gave inThe elder brotherSnow shovel, pushing up the snowman in the yard, the snowman is really beautiful around, the body of white, round head, made it a pair of big, black pebbles of big eyes, a carrot nose, I again with red paint for white snow man drew a cherry small mouth.

Snowman heap is ready, then ushered in a "snow battle parade" and my brothers brother first prepared a snowball, throwing up to me, I am clever turned around, snowball and broke up on the wall.While my brother still dont respond to come over, I use a light snow ball and throw the past to elder brother!My brother had no time to escape."Yes, yes, yes"!Hee hee, in the middle of his brothers "big head" snowball on his head "opened a white flower" can put my belly laugh pain is dead!After again and again to compete.The laughter in the yard is more and more loud and clear.

The fun of childhood, both are like a colorful shells, hold up my colorful childhood.

Hi Worried,

I’m sorry to know that you’re having such a bad time at the moment. The

truth is everyone will have one of those periods when things seem to be wrong,

so you don’t have to worry so much. The important thing is to learn to control

your temper so that you may not do or say anything you’ll regret. Here are three

useful tips:

First, talk to someone you trust about how you feel. This is a good way of

letting your anger out without hurting others or yourself. Second, go outdoors

and play team games with your friends, as physical exercise is an effective way

to get rid of anger. And third, remain optimistic about your future. Such a

positive attitude towards life can be helpful in lifting your spirits.

I hope you’ll soon feel calmer and carry on as normal.

Yours,

Jamie

Gao Kao is a Chinese version of college entrance examination. Once it was probably the most important event in Chinese students life, and it is still to some students. It is optional whether to attend this exams or not, so the choice lies in each student. Now more and more students start to take this choice seriously, and disreputes arose. As for me, attending Gao Kao is a better choice.

Firstly, college education is a necessity for each student, and one can only get enrolled in a college in China with a score of Gao Kao. Secondly, preparing Gao Kao is a very valuable experience to help us grow, exactly for the reason that it is not a little trying and harsh. Lastly, unless better opportunity arise, applying for native colleges is the best choice for us to embrace a propectful future, which makes attending Gao Kao a necessity for each of us who choose to receive education home in China.

All in all, it depends whether attending Gao Kao is the best choice, but for me and other who havent plan to receive overseas education, there is no doubt that it is a necessity and an opportunity to make our way in the society.

Film Review of Pride and Prejudice

Pride and Prejudice is a famous classic written by Jane Austen. I was attracted by the characters and plots of the film adapted from the novel.

Elizabeth is the heroine of the story. When she meets Darcy, a handsome, rich but arrogant man, on the party for the first time, she is dissatisfied with the proud manner of Darcy. Darcy looks down on those who are in a lower social class,

including Elizabeth. However, after getting to know the courage, independence and confidence of Elizabeth, he almost falls in love with her. But Elizabeth believes the lies of Wickham which causes her great prejudice to Darcy. She rejects Darcy’s propose marriage to protect her self-respect. Finally, Darcy goes away because he couldn’t tolerate Elizabeth’s sisters’ vulgar manners. He writes a long letter to explain his thoughts and love to Elizabeth. After reading it, Elizabeth feels guilty about

misjudging Darcy and regrets turning him down. As time goes away, Darcy gradually improves his pride and keeps helping Elizabeth’s family out from troubles. At last, Elizabeth removes the prejudice to Darcy and accepts his propose marriage.

From the film I learn that we can’t judge a man immediately by the first impression. If we are controlled by our subjective senses, it will easy cause prejudice and

misunderstanding and probably influent the developments of many events. To avoid this situation, we need more communication to understand others deeply by ourselves.
