Thanksgiving Day is a harvest festival. Traditionally, it is a time to give thanks for the harvest and expressgratitude in general. It is a holidaycelebrated primarily in Canada and the United States. While perhaps religious in origin, Thanksgiving is now primarily identified as a secular holiday.

The date and location of the first Thanksgiving celebration is a topic of modest contention. Though the earliest attested Thanksgiving celebration was on

September 8, 1565 in what is now Saint Augustine, Florida[1][2], the traditional "first Thanksgiving" is venerated as having occurred at the site of Plymouth Plantation, in 1621.

Today, Thanksgiving is celebrated on the second Monday of October in Canada and on the fourth Thursday of November in the United States. Thanksgiving dinner is held on this day, usually as a gathering of family members and friends.

Thanksgiving Dayin America is a time to offer thanks, of family gatherings and holidaymeals. A time of turkeys, stuffing, and pumpkin pie. A time for Indian corn, holiday parades and giantballoons.

在美国，感恩节是一个感谢恩赐，家庭团聚，合家欢宴的日子；是一个家家餐桌上都有火鸡、填料、南瓜馅饼的日子；是一个充满了印第安玉米、假日游行和巨型气球的日子。

Thanksgiving is celebrated on the 4th Thursday of November, which this year (2005) is November 24th.

每年十一月的最后一个星期四是感恩节，在今年（2005）则是11月24日。下面让我们来看看感恩节的由来吧：

The Pilgrims who sailed to this country aboard the Mayflower were originally members of the English Separatist Church (a Puritan sect). They had earlier fled their home in England and sailed to Holland (The Netherlands) to escape religious persecution. There, they enjoyed more religious tolerance, but they eventually became disenchantedwith the Dutch way of life, thinking it ungodly. Seeking a better life, the Separatists negotiated with a London stock company to finance a pilgrimage to America. Most of those making the trip aboard the Mayflower were non-Separatists, but were hired to protect the companys

interests. Only about one-third of the original colonists were Separatists.

乘"五月花"来到这个国度的旅行者（朝圣者）原本是英国分离者地下x会清教徒，他们的家在英国，因不堪忍受国内的宗教迫害，他们逃亡到荷兰。在荷兰，他们享受了更多的宗教信仰自由，但最终却意识到在荷兰的这种生活方式是对他们的主的亵渎。为了寻求更好的生活，他们与伦敦贸易公司协商，由该公司资助他们到美国。在这趟旅途中，船上只有大约1/3的乘客是清教徒，其他大多数人并非分离派清教徒，而是公司雇佣来保护其利益的人员（契约奴）。

The Pilgrims set ground at Plymouth Rock on December 11, 1620. Their first winter was devastating. At the beginning of the following fall, they had lost 46 of the original 102 who sailed on the Mayflower. But the harvest of 1621 was a bountiful one. And the remaining colonists decided to celebrate with a feast -- including 91 Indians who

had helped the Pilgrims survive their first year. It is believed that the Pilgrims would not have made it through the year without the help of the natives. The feast was more of a traditional English harvest festival than a true "thanksgiving" observance. It lasted three days.

1620年12月11日，旅行者们在"普利茅斯石"登陆。他们的第一个冬季是灾难性的，第二年秋天来临时，原来的102名乘客只剩下56人。但1621年他们获得了大丰收，这些幸存的殖民者们决定和帮助他们度过困难的91名印第安人一起飨宴庆祝。他们相信，若没有当地居民的帮助，他们是不可能度过这一年的。这次节日的盛宴不仅仅是一个"感恩"仪式，它更像英国传统的丰收庆典。庆典持续了三天。

Governor William Bradford sent "four men fowling" after wild ducks and geese. It is not certain that wild turkey was part of their feast. However, it is certain that they had venison. The term "turkey" was used by the Pilgrims to mean any sort of wild fowl.

总督布雷德福派了“四人捕鸟队”去捕捉野鸭和野鹅。我们现在并不能确定是否有野生火鸡在当时的筵席上，但筵席上肯定有鹿肉。当时，朝圣者用 "火鸡"一词来代表各种野禽。

Another modern staple at almost every Thanksgiving table is pumpkin pie. But it is unlikely that the first feast included that treat. The supply of flour had been long diminished, so there was no bread or pastries of any kind. However, they did eat boiled pumpkin, and they produced a type of fried bread from their corn

crop. There was also no milk, cider, potatoes, or butter. There was no

domestic cattle for dairy products, and the newly-discovered potatowas still considered by many Europeans to be poisonous. But the feast did include fish, berries, watercress, lobster, dried fruit, clams, venison, and plums.

现在，几乎每家感恩节餐桌上都有南瓜馅饼――感恩节的另一种主食。但在当年的第一次庆典上却不可能有这种食品。因为面粉奇缺，所以面包、馅饼、糕点等食物都没有。但他们却吃了煮南瓜，并用收获的玉米制成了一种油炸面包。也没有牛奶、苹果酒、土豆和黄油。没有驯养的奶牛，自然没有牛奶；而新发现的土豆被很多欧洲人认为是有毒的。第一次庆典上有鱼、草莓、豆瓣菜、龙虾、干果、蛤、鹿肉、李子等。

This "thanksgiving" feast was not repeated the following year. But in 1623, during a severe drought, the pilgrims gathered in a prayer service, praying for rain. When a long, steady rain followed the very next day, Governor Bradford proclaimed another dayof Thanksgiving, again inviting their Indian friends. It wasnt until June of 1676 that another Day of Thanksgiving was proclaimed.

紧接着的第二年(1622)却没有举行"感恩"庆典。到了1623年，发生了一场严重的旱灾，朝圣者们聚集到一起，举行了虔诚的祁雨仪式，刚好在第二天，一场充沛的大雨从天而降。威廉布雷德福总督宣布再次庆祝感恩节，并再次邀请了他们的印第安朋友。之后数年无感恩节，直到1676年6月，感恩节才再次被提出。 每年11月的第四个星期四是感恩节 (Thanksgiving Day) 。感恩节是美国人民独创的一个古老节日，也是美国人合家欢聚的节日，因此美国人提起感恩节总是倍感亲切。

感恩节的由来要一直追溯到美国历史的发端。1620年，著名的“五月花”号船满载不堪忍受英国国内宗教迫害的清教徒102人到达美洲。1620年和1621年之交的冬天，他们遇到了难以想象的困难，处在饥寒交迫之中，冬天过去时，活下来的移民只有50来人。这时，心地善良的印第安人给移民送来了生活必需品，还特地派人教他们怎样狩猎、捕鱼和种植玉米、南瓜。在印第安人的帮助下，移民们终于获得了丰收，在欢庆丰收的日子，按照宗教传统习俗，移民规定了感谢上帝的日子，并决定为感谢印第安人的真诚帮助，邀请他们一同庆祝节日。

在第一个感恩节的这一天，印第安人和移民欢聚一堂，他们在黎明时鸣放礼炮，列队走进一间用作教堂的屋子，虔诚地向上帝表达谢意，然后点起篝火举行盛大宴会。第二天和第三天又举行了摔跤、赛跑、唱歌、跳舞等活动。第一个感恩节非常成功。其中许多庆祝方式流传了300多年，一直保留到今天。

初时感恩节没有固定日期，由各州临时决定。直到美国独立后的1863年，林肯总统宣布感恩节为全国性节日

Shakespeare in Love

文：渐行渐远的记忆

很多年以后，依稀记得那个冬天的一个下午，太阳十分慵懒，一如这个以慢节奏而著称的城市。祥和、静寂的气氛夹杂着几分淡淡的哀伤，窗外细枊无力地摇曳着。

世界上最可怕的是什么？梦想的破灭？青春的逝去？生命的终结……Shakespeare撕下一张又一张的稿纸，那支脏兮兮的鹅毛笔时而游曳于白纸上，时而停顿在半空……导演把镜头对准了Shakespeare紧锁的眉头和一张张被丢弃的废纸……何谓灵感？灵感无非是一种触动。当这位伦敦剧场界的新星失去其写作的灵感，无法再次触动尘封的心灵，这一切远比死亡来得可怕。

并不华丽的场景却真实地再现16世纪的伦敦闹市，跟随着主人翁的步伐，我们来到了剧场，这里正在招聘演员，男女主角的第一次见面就在这里发生。中国有句古话：冥冥之中，定有天意。Viola正是那位Shakespeare所需的能激发其灵感的女神，年轻的Shakespeare敏锐的感觉让他发现了 Viola是个漂亮的女孩，接着如同那些爱情小说里描写的一样，他们坠入了爱河。这时候Shakespeare的灵感如泉涌，并将他们的爱情付诸成文字， Viola成为他生命中的Juliet，而他这个Romeo也找到生存的意义。

如同众多的爱情悲剧小说里的情形一样，他们的爱情被残酷的现实所阻挠：Viola必须嫁给Wisher爵士，这是Victoria女王所钦定的，并且 Shakespeare早已成婚。在一场身分混淆、错综复杂的乌龙闹剧中，大吃干醋的未婚夫和未婚妻的情人决斗，私定终身的情侣偷偷调情，而年轻的 Shakespeare不但得为他的剧本想出完美的结局，也得为他自己的爱情找到快乐的结局。

曾为《钢琴师》、《跳出我天地》等欧洲名片谱写过电影配乐的英国新进作曲者Stephen Warbeck以其擅长的古典剧作笔法，既吸取了古典配乐上的欢快与幽默，又努力向时尚的剧情烘托靠拢。本片的配乐一直都维持了一股宫廷电影应有的典雅与高贵。音乐一路描绘着剧中人物的情感变化。影片从昂扬的揭开序曲，一路细腻且生动地描绘着剧中人物的喜怒哀乐，到及的深沉情绪中，紧密交织的古典交响曲式，慢板的钢琴曲及女高音Catherine Bott跨刀吟唱无一不紧扣人心。

人生如戏，还是戏如人生？我想Shakespeare在这一刻肯定是忘形了，所以他才演的这么投入，所以他的台词才会这么动人。

但是生活不是戏剧，生活同样也不是电影！有人说：武侠小说是成年人的童话。其实电影又何尝不是？就如电影里的Shakespeare，在舞台上他对着心爱的女人，当着众人的面，可以毫无顾忌地诉说着一切，而在现实生活中，世俗的差距就象一道鸿沟，两个相爱的人始终只能遥遥相望。

爱是需要表达的，爱也是需要争取的。看完电影，我想想也好笑：是不是我们永远在别人的故事里，流着自己的泪？

CHORUS:

Shell take him to the brink of deliverance

Show him that much

Oh, dont you know it

So he falls in love to feel that hes falling

Hes fought and hes fallen

Hes on his knees before hes on his feet

Oh, hes about to be and shes about to see

His bountys boundless like the sea

His love is endless, just as deep

The more he gives the more he has

`Cause both of them are truly infinite

CHORUS:

Shell take him to the brink of deliverance

Show him that much

Oh, dont you know it

Oh, dont you know it

So he falls in love to feel that hes falling

Shell let him know his heart

Oh, dont you know it

Oh, dont you know it

Hes on his knees before hes on his feet

CHORUS:

一天放学后我匆忙回家吃午饭，因为下午考试，我希望早一点回校准备考试。但是我到家时午饭还没有准备好，我很不高兴。饭菜端上来时，我发现没有一样是我喜欢的。我生气地跑出了家门，饿着肚子在街上游荡了一会，然后往学校走去。

走进教室后，我看到书桌上有一个午餐盒，一个同学告诉我那是我妈妈送来的。打开盖子，里面是我喜欢吃的。我的眼睛湿润了。

妈妈无私地把爱给了我，却不求任何回报。多么深沉的母爱啊!

My father, Winston Churchill, began his love affair with painting in his 40s, amid disastrous circumstances. As First Lord of the Admiralty in 1915, he was deeply involved in a campaign in the Dardanelles that could have shortened the course of a bloody world war. But when the mission failed, with great loss of life, Churchill paid the price, both publicly and privately. He was removed from the admiralty and effectively sidelined.

Overwhelmed by the catastrophe — “I thought he would die of grief,” said his wife, Clementine —he retired with his family to Hoe Farm, a country retreat in Surrey. There, as Churchill later recalled, “The muse of painting came to my rescue!”

Wandering in the garden one day, he chanced upon his sister-in-law sketching with watercolors. He watched her for a few minutes, then borrowed her brush and tried his hand. The muse had cast her spell!

Churchill soon decided to experiment with oils. Delighted with this distraction from his dark broodings, Clementine rushed off to buy whatever paints she could find.

For Churchill, however, the next step seemed difficult as he contemplated with unaccustomed nervousness the blameless whiteness of a new canvas. He started with the sky and later described how “very gingerly I mixed a little blue paint on the palette, and then with infinite precaution made a mark about as big as a bean upon the affronted snow-white shield. At that moment the sound of a motor car was heard in the drive. From this chariot stepped the gifted wife of Sir John Lavery .”

“ ‘Painting!’ she declared. ‘But what are you hesitating about? Let me have the brush — the big one.’ Splash into the turpentine, wallop into the blue and the white, frantic flourish on the palette, and then several fierce strokes and slashes of blue on the absolutely cowering canvas.”

At that time, John Lavery— a Churchill neighbor and celebrated painter— was tutoring Churchill in his art. Later, Lavery said of his unusual pupil: “Had he chosen painting instead of statesmanship, I believe he would have been a great master with the brush.”

In painting, Churchill had discovered a companion with whom he was to walk for the greater part of the years that remained to him. After the war, painting would offer deep solace when, in 1921, the death of the mother was followed two months later by the loss of his and Clementine’s beloved three-year-old daughter, Marigold. Battered by grief, Winston took refuge at the home of friends in Scotland, finding comfort in his painting. He wrote to Clementine: “I went out and painted a beautiful river in the afternoon light with crimson and golden hills in the background. Alas I keep feeling the hurt of the Duckadilly (Marigold’s pet name).”

Historians have called the decade after 1929, when the Conservative government fell and Winston was out of office, his wilderness years. Politically he may have been wandering in barren places, a lonely fighter trying to awaken Britain to the menace of Hitler, but artistically that wilderness bore abundant fruit. During these years he often painted in the South of France. Of the 500-odd canvases extant, roughly 250 date from 1930 to 1939.

Painting remained a joy to Churchill to the end of his life. “Happy are the painters,” he had written in his book Painting as a Pastime, “ for they shall not be lonely. Light and color, peace and hope, will keep them company to the end of the day.” And so it was for my father.

我的父亲，温斯顿·丘吉尔，在他四十多岁时开始迷恋上绘画，当时环境异常恶劣。那是在1915年，任海军大臣的他，积极投身于在达达尼尔海峡的一场战役中，这场战役本可以缩短那段血雨腥风的世界大战。但由于遭受失败，伤亡惨重，丘吉尔于公于私都付出了代价。他被从海军部调离且实则坐起了冷板凳。

在灾难的折磨下——他的妻子克莱门廷说：“我想他会痛苦而死，”——他携家带口来到萨利郡的一处乡间静居霍·华姆。在那儿，丘吉尔后来回忆道，“是绘画中的冥思拯救了我！”

一天他在花园散步时，偶然看到他的弟媳在用水彩作画。他观察了几分钟，然后向她借了画笔并一试身手。他的专注仿佛给他施了魔法！

丘吉尔很快就决定试试去画油画。看到他从阴暗的忧郁思中解脱出来，克莱门廷非常开心，她赶忙去买所有能买到的颜料。

然而，迈出下一步似乎有些困难，因为丘吉尔看到一块新画布的洁白无暇时感到无所适从和为难。他先从天空画起，后来他描述如何“非常谨慎地在调色板上加入一点儿蓝色调，然后以万分的小心，在这块被蓄意冒犯的雪白的防护板上点上豌豆大的一笔。这时，传来一阵驾驶机动车的马达声。约翰·拉威利先生才华出众的太太从这辆车中姗然而下。

“‘在画画呀！’她高声说着。‘可你还在犹豫什么呢？给我那支笔——那支头号的。’只见松油飞溅，她在蓝白颜料间挥毫泼墨，在调色板上龙飞凤舞，接着在吓得发皱的油画布上用力东戳西捣几下蓝色。”

那时，约翰·拉威利——丘吉尔的邻居，也是一位有名的画家—正教丘吉尔学画。后来提及他的这位特殊的学生，拉威利说：“倘若他选择绘画而不是从政，我相信他会是位绘画大师的。”

在绘画中，丘吉尔找到了能陪他度过余生大部分时光的知已。战后，在1921年，母亲刚去世两个月，他和克莱门廷就失去了他们深爱着的三岁女儿玛丽戈尔德，这时作画给了他一些安慰。在痛苦的打击下，温斯顿来到苏格兰朋友们的家中以求得安慰，用绘画来解脱自己。他在给克莱门廷的信中说：“我出外画了一条夕阳下美丽的溪流，背后映衬着晚霞的群山。唉，达克迪莉（玛丽戈尔德的昵称）使我的苦痛总是挥之不去。

史学家把1929年后的十年，也就是保守党政府垮台而温斯顿下台的时间，称为他的荒凉岁月。政治上，他一直在举步维艰的处境中徘徊，是一个孤独的勇士在努力唤起受到希特勒威胁的国人，但在艺术上他在那荒凉岁月却硕果累累。这些年他经常在法国南部作画。在现存的500多张油画中，大约250张是1930至1939年间的作品。

绘画给丘吉尔带来了乐趣直到他的人生尽头。在他所著的《画中的消遣》里说：“画家其乐融融，因为他们不会孤独。光与色，和平与希望，会始终伴随他们。”我父亲就是这样一个人。

Here by a netizen said: “ Kylies watch and make chuck feel love; let friends feel Weixin chuck friendship; open wings let mail chuck feel responsibility. ” even though he has guessed that Kylie must marry another friend, but he is Weixin talking to yourself, encourage a volleyball of their own, the mail sent to almost no possibility, but for now the police grams, their presence is enough, can let him feel the love and affection and responsibility, can let him continue to have the courage to survive and have a glimmer of hope. He is how to cherish these things, an impulse to chuck Wilson thrown out, he was so afraid to go back to “ WBL, sorry, I will not leave you ”.

The sea finally brought a sail &mdash to the crew; — a piece of iron. It was so precious that he could not wait to see what God would give him. He spent all the islands he could take as ropes, and made a sailing boat that was as important to him as Noahs ark. With a few coconut, together with the friend Weixin, leave this piece did not dare to think of living alone for four years the island, began to seek the rebirth of the airlines. When he gradually away from the island, looking back, is how complex feelings, perhaps all emotions can not be said, only in the heart of their own exclamation “ really can not believe! ”

The vast sea, a boat, a few nights of rain, is still in the sea, the sea ruthless friend Weixin away, chuck aware he will like this around like whale to stay the sea, but whale ah, here is your paradise of happiness, it is my grave!

The cargo ship arrived, and the cargo ship came in early, not late. “ Im not going to talk about the movie here; the plot must be arranged like this, ”. It seems not to chuck life. If he dies, you and I and all people will not be reconciled. “ Kylie — — ” only the most sincere hope that chuck survived Kylie let chuck in a long call to see the ship, “ Kylie — — ”

Chucks back, almost all of my friends than he is to be happy, after the disaster, chuck has no daxitaibei, let joy to my friends. If it turns out that Charlie has changed a lot, one of them is to understand how important it is to support and encourage friends. On the plane, he said to Stan, "“ when Marie died, I wasnt there. Im sorry. I should be there for you, &rdquo.";.

After dinner, chuck face a big table meal, when he saw the crabs, this very common dish, he has become a life-saving food, now think about it, really love a tired! The process lighter, lighter senior human wisdom invention, do not love, no matter how beautiful also, very low but I invented drilling wood fire, how do you appear in the table, rather than on the island!

Kylie, Kylies beloved, and the most difficult years to accompany her through his heart. “ I dont know what to say to her. What should I say?. &rdquo is going to see Kylie; Chuck! After she first thought lost chuck, was married to be at a loss what to do, chuck saw dental dentist Lucheri. Now, suddenly she appeared, and she was at a loss again. In the rainy night, Richard drove to Kylie. “ one thing I want to know ” chuck say this Kylie heart knew he wanted to know what — — how do you marry the dentist Lucheri! But they all understand this reason, on the island of chuck had already foreseen such a result, if not Lucheri, then would be someone else. But Chuck is clever, the director is also clever, chuck asked: “ the Tennessee football team in Nashville now? ” “ Oh, my days ” Kylie was so relieved, knew each other sadness is not necessary to open it so clear. I quite agree with the directors arrangement.

太阳每天在升起，潮起潮又落。察克用石头在墙上标记下在岛上度过的日期，椰子水已没有了任何味道，第一口生吃螃蟹应该是天下最美的佳肴，而后来也没有任何味道了。“我发明了火!”当察克兴奋的喊出这句话的时候，我真正的相信这世界的“火”确实是察克发明的。这要比爱迪生发明电灯更加让人振奋，还有比这更有意义的发明吗?

人可以忍受身体的伤痛，可以忍受饥饿，可以忍受寒冷，可是人要怎样才能忍受长期的绝对的孤独呢?还好有怀表里的凯莉，还好有排球变的维信，还好有跟着飘来的邮件。如果说在一个人绝望的时候他最需要什么，不是他对明天还有多大的理想，而是今天是否有朋友在鼓励。这里借一位网友的话：“凯莉的怀表和相片让察克感受到爱情;朋友维信让察克感受到友情;未打开的翅膀邮件让察克感受到责任。”尽管他已猜到凯莉肯定要另嫁他人，朋友维信只不过是他跟自己说话、鼓励自己的一只排球，那份邮件几乎没有继续送到的可能，但对于现在的察克，它们的存在已经够了，已经可以让他感受到爱情，亲情和责任了，已经可以让他继续有勇气生存下去并怀有一丝希冀了。他是多么珍惜这些东西，一次冲动察克把维信扔了出去，他又那样害怕的去找回来“维信，对不起，我再也不丢下你了”。

大海终于给察克送来一面帆——一块破铁皮。这已经弥足珍贵了，他无法再期待上帝会给他带来什么更好的赏赐。察克用尽小岛所有可以取之为绳的东西，做好一个对他来说如同诺亚方舟一样重要的帆船。带上几个椰子，和朋友维信一起，离开这片不敢再想起的独自生存了四年的荒岛，开始寻求重生之航。当他渐渐远离小岛，回头再望时，是怀有怎样复杂的心情，或许万般情绪不能言表，只会在心里对自己感叹“真不敢相信!”

茫茫大海，一叶孤舟，几夜风雨，依然是茫茫大海，海浪无情的把朋友维信带走了，察克意识道他将会像这身边的鲸鱼一样永留大海，可是鲸鱼啊，这里是你快乐的天堂，却是我的坟墓!

货船来了，货船在不早不晚的时候，在察克已经释然的时候终于来了。“在这里我不讨论电影故事情节必须如此安排”。看来察克的生命还不到归期。如若他死了，你，还有我和所有人都不会甘心的。“凯莉——”唯一的最真切的令察克怀有希望活下来的凯莉让察克在看到货船时发出久别的呼唤，“凯莉——”

察克的回来，几乎所有的朋友都比他自己要开心，是的，经过此次大难后，察克不再有大喜大悲，让欢喜留给朋友们。如果说这次经历让查理改变了很多，那么其中之一就是更明白对朋友的支持和鼓励多么重要。在飞机上他对史丹说：“玛丽去世时，我不在，对不起，我应该在你身边给你支持”。

饭后，察克面对一大桌的美餐，当他看到大闸蟹的时候，这个非常普遍的一道菜，曾经成为他救命的食物，现在想想，真是又爱有厌!那个工艺打火机，人类智慧发明的高级打火机，一点都不可爱，再怎么漂亮，也极抵不过我所发明的钻木之火，你怎么就只出现在这个餐桌上，而不是那个小岛上呢!

凯莉，察克所深爱的并且在他心底陪她走过最艰难岁月的凯莉。“我不知道该对她说些什么，我该说些什么呢。”查克快要见到凯莉了!而她先是以为失去了察克，不知所措以后，嫁给了曾为察克看过牙病的牙医卢杰里。现在察克突然出现了，她又不知所措了!还是那句话，终究要面对。雨夜察克驱车赶到凯莉那儿。“有件事情我很想知道”察克说出这句话时凯莉心里早就明白他想知道什么——你怎么嫁给了牙医卢杰里!可是这个原因他们都明白，在岛上察克就已经预见到了这样的结果，如果不是卢杰里，便会是另外的人。但察克是聪明的，导演也是聪明的，察克的问的是：“田纳西的足球队现在在纳什维尔?”“哦，我的天”凯莉如此松了一口气，彼此心知肚明的悲情没有必要再那么明朗的翻开来说。我很赞成导演这么安排。

Dear Christmas father:

Christmas Day falls on the twenty-fifth of December.It is a very happy day

for many boys and girls .Before the term ends in some schools ,the children act

a nativity or “birth” play,showing how Jesus was born in a stable.

On the twenty-fourth of December,all children are very excited.Usually they

are sent to bed early so that their parents can get the presents ready.The

younger children think that Father Christmas will come down the chimney or

fireplace ,so they hang up a sock for him to put presents in.The greedy ones

even hang up a pillow-case or a sack to try to get more presents.Later that

night,Father or Mother will put presents in the sock,and leave others at the

side of the bed.

On Christmas morning,the children wake up very early.Some even turn on the

light at two oclock,and most of them are awake by six oclock although it is

not light in England for another hour or two at this time of the year.Children

look for their presents,and the young ones play while the dinner is prepared.At

about one oclock in the afternoon,the Christmas dinner is brought in.The turkey

or chicken is quickly eaten.Children search in their Christmas pudding for new

coins which are hidden in it.The rest of the day is full of games and eating

until the happiest of all Christmas hollidays comes to an end.

The world changed when James Watt invented the first steam engine, when Isaac Newton discovered the universal gravitation after hit by an apple, when Karl Marx wrote The Communist Manifesto, when Chairman Mao solemnly declared the establishment of the Peoples Republic of China on the Tiananmen Rostrum, when Martin Luther King cried out “I have a dream”. The world was changed by something called dream, which is invisible, untouchable but strong enough.

I can assure that every child have written a composition titled My Dream. They have already written down their longing for the future. Some of them want to become scientists; some of them hope to become teachers or doctors. Maybe they didn’t know how many difficulties they will face before their dream come true. But the dreams are like small seeds planted in their hearts; like the beacon in the sea that lead them to their destinations.

Dream is the fountain of strength. Dream is the support of faith. Dream is the Polaris. Dream reminds us to move forward, to struggle, to strive all the time. One of my friends told me that dream will never discard anyone! Yes, maybe one day everything is gone but dreams is still there with you, eternally.

Dream changed us, and therefore we changed the world. It is dream that refreshes the world every day. It is also dream that makes the world improve day by day. We dare to dream. We can also achieve our dreams and change the world.

I can’t imagine the world without dreams. How about you?

I think its very important and necessary for kids to do some housework at home.

For me, I can do lots of housework. For example, I can do the dishe, I can cook, I can sweep the floor, and I can also water the flowers. Whats more, I can set the table and so on.

Her owner exhausted all ways to punish her， education， she tried to change her bad habits， but to no avail， this is only because there is no love!

Think about it! This was lovely child， born into slavery， she belonged to them all the only masters of the so-called masters of her fate. Her childhood on his masters scolding to grow up， so she formed the habit of lying， bad habit of stealing things， and that she was beautiful， tarnished the purity of heart. In this there is no dignity， experiencing being separated from being whipped all day circumstances， how can we have a noble moral character and firm in faith? Only pure， beautiful， selfless love can save her soul! When the angelic Eva to her love of her time，TOM eyes cast the tears that her heart has been ray of sunshine of love.

Christmas arouses increasing attention year by year in China. Christmas cards become popular with students. People hold Christmas parties and exchange Christmas girts. A lot or TV and radio programs about Christmas are on. Meanwhile the Spring Festival is less appealing （有吸引力的）to youngsters. Thus some people wonder whether Christmas will replace the Spring Festival.

This worry is fairly unnecessary. Why ？One reason lies that Christmas only affects Christians，college students and joint-venture （合资企业）workers. Another reason is that Christmas is mostly celebrated in cities. Few people in countryside show extreme interest in this exotic（带有异国情调的）festival. By contrast，the Spring Festival is the most influential traditional festival in every family.

I think，it is natural that with increasing exchanges with the West，a lot of Western holidays have been gradually introduced into China. For us Chinese we should never neglect or even discard our own traditional festivals. For centuries Chinese have observed this traditional holiday to welcome the beginning of a new year. And we will treasure the Spring Festival forever.
