身体不舒服、家里有急事儿，耽误了上班上学，你知道到该怎么请假吗?英文里跟请假有关的说法有很多种，一起来看看吧!

1. Ask for leave

Leave在这里不是“离开”，而是“准休假“的意思。这个词组的用法比较灵活。你可以说：I have to ask for leave tomorrow morning.

我明天上午不得不请假了。

如果请假不止一天，还可以说ask for 2 days leave 请两天的假

2. Take (something) off

看到这个词组，别告诉小编你只知道它是“起飞”的意思。请假也可以用它哦!

例句：Mr Smith, my dads here visiting me and Id like to take two days off to show him around the city.

史密斯先生，我爸爸要来看我，所以我想请两天假，带他到处转转。

3. Call in sick

病得实在爬不起来，连打开电脑发邮件的力气都没有?试试这个吧!“Call in sick”意思是”打电话请假“，

例句：I dont feel well this morning. Perhaps I ought to call in sick.我今天早上感觉不太舒服，或许我该打电话请个假了。

4. Pull a sickie

还有一种请假叫做装病。Sickie在俚语里指“病假”，但是pull a sickie意思则是“请假装病”。

例如： He took/pulled/threw a sickie to go to the football game.

他请假装病看球去了。

A man who is careful in choosing friends will certainly derive benefit from

them. Why? Because there are more false friends than real ones in this world. To

have one real friends is better than a hundred false ones. Friends who flatter

you to your face are not true friends.

We must make friends with those who have good character and kindness of

heart. On the other hand, we should do our best to a void keeping company with

bad people.

一个小心选择朋友的人一定会从他们那里获得益处。为什么?因为在这个世界里假朋友比真朋友要多。有一个真朋友要比有一百个假朋友来得好。凡是当面奉承你的朋友不是真朋友。

我们必须和凡是具有良好品格和心地善良的人交朋友。反过来说，我们应尽力避免结交坏人。

In the Warring States Period, a man in the state of Chu was offering a sacrifice(祭品) to his ancestors. After the ceremony, the man gave a beaker of wine to his servants.

The servants thought that there was not enought wine for all of them, and decided to each draw a picture of snake; the one who finished the picture first would get the wine.

One of them drew very rapidly. Seeing that the others were still busy drawing, he added feet to the snake.

At this moment, another man finished, snatched the beaker(烧杯，大口杯) and drank the wine, saying,"A snake doesnt have feet. How can you add feet to a snake?"

This idiom refers to ruining a venture by doing unnecessary and surplus things.

Early in the morning, I opened the calendar. At first, its the Dragon Boat Festival.

After that, people put the rice regiment into the river and let the fish and shrimp no longer eat the body of Qu Yuan. Since then people put rice into his love the taste of the regiment, with reed leaves wrapped and tied with a rope, such as dumplings. At the same time, people also have to play dragon boats. "

I asked again, "what do you want to do, mom, on the Dragon Boat Festival?"

And she said to me, "there is it in it! We want to eat sweet dumplings, Dragon Boat Race fun, drink realgar Yellow Wine, of course, the people also want to eat yellow".

I asked my mother: "what is the five yellow"?

Mother said: "five to eat five things. The first is the yellow fish, the second is the cucumber, the third is the salted duck egg yolk, the fourth is the yellow bean dumplings, and the fifth is the realgar bar.

Nowaday, The number of the traffic accidents has been growing in recent years. In 2004, up to 570,000 road accidents occurred in China, which claimed a total of 109,000 lives. The situation got worse in 2008. Statistics show that merely from January to October saw 566,000 tragedies happen with a higher death rate.

The above aching fact reminds us that it s high time we faced and solves this problem! Though our country owns only 2% of the world cars, it contributes amazingly 22% to the total accidents! Doubtlessly, our country ranks first as the most serious traffic accident rate.

China cannot afford millions of life losses, and we can not let the sorrow slow down our development speed. The government must play the most important role in solve the problem. Strict traffic rules should be made, and more importantly, practiced and followed. According to some other countries experience, high fine may also help. Slow down the speed of cars, as well as our country, there are always something worth your attention.

Hong Kong is one of the two special administrative regions (SARs) of the Peoples Republic of China, along with Macau. Comprising more than 260 islands, the territory is located on the eastern side of the Pearl River Delta, bordering Guangdong province in the north and facing the South China Sea in the east, west and south.

Hong Kong was a Crown colony of the United Kingdom from 1842 until the transfer of sovereignty to the Peoples Republic of China in 1997. The Sino-British Joint Declaration and the Basic Law of Hong Kong stipulate that Hong Kong will operate with a high degree of autonomy until at least 2047, fifty years after the transfer. Under the policy of "one country, two systems", the Central Peoples Government is responsible for the territorys defence and foreign affairs, while Hong Kong maintains its own legal system, police force, monetary system, customs policy, immigration policy, and delegates to international organizations and events.

Hong Kong is frequently described as a city where East meets West, a meeting reflected in its economic infrastructure, education, legal system and street culture. On one street corner, there may be traditional Chinese shops selling Chinese herbal medicine, Buddhist paraphernalia or bowls of synthetic shark fin soup. But around the next, one may find theatres showing the latest Hollywood blockbuster, a British-style pub, a Catholic Church or Ronald McDonald inviting passer-bys to a Big Mac. The territorys official language is Chinese and English; signs in both languages are omnipresent throughout Hong Kong. The government, police and most workplaces and stores conduct business bilingually. British rule may have ended a decade ago but Western culture is deeply ingrained in Hong Kong and coexists seamlessly with traditional philosophy and practices of the Orient.

Hong Kong has an active nightlife centred on two major entertainment districts, Lan Kwai Fong (Central) and Wan Chai. Both areas are frequented by expatriates and locals alike. For a more quiet evening, a trip to Victoria Peak offers a spectacular view of the city. There is also a promenade along the Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront, which is popular among young Chinese couples. Shopping, a form of entertainment for the people of Hong Kong, is even done at nighttime as evident in the Temple Street Night Market where one can also catch free performances of Peking opera.

The citys cosmopolitan flavour can also be seen in the wide variety of cuisines available. While different varieties of Chinese selections, especially seafood, are most popular, there are also many European, American, Japanese, Korean, and other restaurants. Ethnic dishes served in cha chaan teng and dai pai dong are also popular. The people of Hong Kong take their food seriously and many top chefs make their way to the city to show off their talents to these discerning diners.

While Hong Kong is a global centre of trade, perhaps the citys most famous export is its entertainment industry, particularly in the martial arts genre. Several top-notch Hollywood performers originate from Hong Kong cinema -- Bruce Lee, Chow Yun-Fat, Jackie Chan, Michelle Yeoh, Jet Li and Leslie Cheung, to name a few. Behind the camera, Hong Kong filmmakers have also struck fortune in Hollywood such as John Woo, Wong Kar-wai, Tsui Hark and martial arts choreographers who have designed fight scenes in the Matrix trilogy, Kill Bill and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Back in Hong Kong, several homegrown films have also gained international recognition such as Chungking Express, Infernal Affairs, Shaolin Soccer, Rumble in the Bronx and In the Mood for Love. Acclaimed filmmaker Quentin Tarantino has said hes strongly influenced by Hong Kong action cinema.

The Hong Kong government also supports cultural institutions such as the Hong Kong Heritage Museum, Hong Kong Museum of Art, the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts and the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra. Furthermore, the governments Leisure and Cultural Services Department also subsidizes and sponsors the bringing of international performers to Hong Kong.

Many classmates ask me about my plan for summer holiday. How I wish I could have a colorful and fruitful holiday, so I have decided to do a part-time job during the summer vacation. On the one hand, I can earn some pocket money by doing a part-time job. I can spend them freely, because they are earned by myself. On the other hand, I can accumulate some practical experience by doing a part-time job. They can’t be learned in the class or from text books. Besides, I will go over my study and do some preview. I don’t want to waste the summer holiday.

These days Ive just finished the novel Uncle Toms Cabin that left a really deep impression on me and we can see.

It is a book written in 1852 in response to the passage of the Fugitive Slave Law， Uncle Toms Cabin has been considered as the most influential anti-slavery novel in that period and described by Stowe herself as a “series of sketches” describing the human cruelty of slavery， opens with a description of Arthur Shelbys Kentucky plantation during the antebellum period.

There are several impressive characters in this novel， George who is clever and brave;Harry， a beautiful and talented child who sings dances and mimes;Mrs. Shelby， a very religious woman;Sambo and Qimbo and so on. The major character Uncle Tom who was the most impressive in this novel was a devout Christian. He endured the miserable fate bravely and aroused the whites sympathy for slaves with his Christs sacrifice and the tolerance of returning good for evil. This novel focuses on the distinctive personalities of Uncle Tom deeply influenced by Christianity and the important role Uncle Toms Cabin playing on abolition; and the Significance of “Uncle Tom” to the harmonious worlds development， and the effect on modern people.

In the book， at the beginning， the author presents us a very beautiful image of a rather harmonious family who live a happy life. However， that beautiful image couldnt last long， the darkness came soon. The master of this happy family， Uncle Tom was arranged into a difficult situation. As Shelby， the not cruel master， he has incurred serious debts- prompting him sell some slaves to avoid financial ruin， so Uncle Tom， Shelbys loyal servant since childhood was sold to Mr. Haley， the slave trader. Uncle Tom remained loyal to his master， despite his betrayal and the risk of death at the cruel hands of a new master. The slaves at the plantation were very mournful， but Tom remained placid and tried to read his Bible for fort. On the steamboat to New Orleans， where Tom was to be sold， Tom befriended an angelic little girl， “Little Eva” St. Clare. Uncle Tom saved the five-year-old beauty from drowning， and she convinced her father to buy Tom for her own family. In her family， Tom enjoye.

d his life because of the girls love; Toms contentment does not last， however， because Eva soon falls ill. Dying， Eva asked Mr. St. Clare to free Tom after her death. But Mr. St. Clare is so sad by her death that he never legally freed Tom before he himself was killed trying to mediate a barroom scuffle. Mrs. St. Clare sold the slaves to settle her husbands debts and Tom was sold to Simon Legree who was so violent that beat his slaves brutally. At last， when Mr. Shelby， finally found Uncle Tom， he was almost died. After Tom was dead and buried， Shelby went back and freed his slaves.

As we all can see that Uncle Toms Cabin was an anti-slavery novel and it was even considered as one factor that caused the Civil War. In the novel， the slaves were sold from one place to another frequently， and their fate was tragic， with no exception- just like Uncle Tom， no matter he was under the control of kind masters or evil masters， he cant escape the misfortune of being sold from one master to another. We cant see any human right of them， so terrible.

As someone said， with more people realizing the inhumanity of slavery in the 19th century， slavery became one of the most important issues and it became more violent year by year in American society. However， slavery was not abolished irrevocably until ratification of the 13th Amendment to the Constitution in 1865， following the Civil War. After the passage of Fugitive Slave Act of 1850， Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote this novel Uncle Toms Cabin which publicized the evil of slavery to a wide audience.

Now we are in the 21st century， we may never e across such kind of thing. However， this book can always remind of us that there ever has existed this evil and we cant let it happen again. And “equality” 、“human right ” cant just be a slogan， we should make it e true really and always.

In order to celebrate mothers day my mother and I decided to jiaozuo border region a attractions - yuntai mountain. We went all the way along the roadside flowers like in smiled at me, The tree is waved to me. Even the rain also infected by us more huan... So soon in yuntai mountain.

After she heard, we both laughed.

Dear friends,

I am Li Ming, president of the Students’ Union. I am writing to call on you to give up smoking.

Some students in our school have been caught smoking, which has become a cause of concern. Medical studies show that smoking is harmful to our health because of the poisonous chemicals produced when cigarettes are burning. Both smokers and non-smokers are affected by the poisonous matter. So the number of people who suffer from lung cancer and other breathing-related diseases has been on the increase. Therefore, smokers should give up this bad habit as soon as possible.

Let’s develop a healthy lifestyle! Let’s take action from now on!

I have a happy, happy family.

My father, the advantage. Dad ready to help others. Since we bought a printer back home. Relatives and friends need to print something, came to find my father. Gave the information to us, the friend went away. When he finished print, just call me to send it in the past. My mother said that here is bad there bad there.

Dad is very good at math, and sometimes I dont math problem you can ask him to help. He like the teacher, read the question first, yourself, the equations. After these ready, began to thin to speak up for me. The formula or the equations listed from that place, he said. Then let me repeat. It is difficult to imagine the math problem is a piece of cake in his hand. Every time he told me the topic, understand fast, high efficiency, less time consuming. This is a major bright spot.

My mother much more special, have financial and life, and nutrition. Want to buy something in the home, to her this. Moms food is delicious, and safety, and nutrition. Every cook according to her diet. My father is the most like to eat bacon, every time want to toward to my mother. Mother said: "eat many bacon can harm the body, should eat less." So our bacon rarely eat, bacon this year and last year. It is hard to want to these.

My brother is the most naughty home, one of the most annoying people. He is the most headache, when you eat. You dont give he said a good word, he is not to eat. He is running around the house while eating, also cant catch him. After we finished eating, he is still in a bite to eat slowly. When he was playing in the room, dont know how many things he broke.

Look, this is our family. The typical character in our house is my brother.

我有一个快乐，幸福的大家庭。

我的爸爸，优点特别多。爸爸乐于助人。自从我们家里买了一台打印机回来以后。亲戚朋友们需要什么要打印的东西时，就找我爸爸来了。把资料给了我们，朋友就走了。等他打印完的时候，就叫我把它送过去。我妈妈就在那里说这里不好那里不好的。

爸爸的数学学的很好，有时我不会的数学题就可以请教他来帮助。他就像老师一样，先把题读了，自己做好，列出方程。这些做好了以后，就开始给我细细的讲了起来。那个算式或那个等式是从那个地方列出来的，他说完后。然后就让我重复。再难的数学题在他手上是小菜一碟。每次他给我讲题时，懂得快，效率高，费时少。这就是他的一大亮点。

我妈妈管的事特别多，有金融，生活，营养。家里要买什么东西，要过她这一关才行。妈妈做的饭菜又好吃，又安全，又营养。每天做饭都要按照她的食谱走。我爸爸是最喜欢吃腊肉的人，每次想吃时就要向着我妈去要。妈妈说：“吃多了腊肉会伤害到身体的，要少吃。”所以我们家的腊肉很少吃，去年的腊肉今年还有。想吃到这些是很难的。

我的弟弟是家里最调皮的，最烦的一个人了。他吃饭的时候，是最头痛的。你不给他说好话，他是不会吃的。他吃饭时还在屋子里到处跑，抓也抓不住他。等我们吃完了以后，他还在一口一口地慢慢吃。他在屋子里玩时，不知他弄坏了多少东西。

瞧，这就是我们这一家子。我们家的典型人物就是我的弟弟。

The Lantern Festival (元宵节) is the last day of the Chinese New Year celebration.

This day is for the last moment for setting off fireworks, the last excuse for eating a big feast and the last chance for family getting together before the “年” celebrations are over. (Latern Festival is also a traditional time of celebration for foreigners who live in China).

The Lantern Festival, the 15th of the first month of the lunar calendar, is the first full moon of the year.

Celebrations and traditions on this day date back to the Western Han Dynasty.

Traditions for this festival: as the name indicates, hanging and looking at lanterns is the main tradition.

Lanterns of various shapes and sizes are displayed on trees, or along river banks.

Parents often take their children to Lantern Fairs and sometimes lucky kids even get a mini toy lantern.

Another tradition is guessing lantern riddles. These are riddles that are hung on lanterns for people to shoot down and solve. The riddles are usually short, wise, and sometimes humorous.

The answer to a riddle can be a Chinese character, a famous persons name, a place name or a proverb. This tradition has become a popular game with serious staying power even as social development changes other traditions.

Other than that, the most important thing to do today is to eat sweet dumplings. In northern China, sweet dumplings made of glutinous rice flour are called “元宵” while in southern part they are called “汤圆”.

Typical sweet dumplings are filled with black sesame sauce, sweetened bean paste, or hawthorn. Making “元宵” today is like a game or an activity, so its seldom done without a reason and a group of friends or family present to help out.
