I have a dream that one day every vally shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.

Wow, what a dream it has been for Martin Luther King. But the changing world seems telling me that people gradually get their dreams lost somehow in the process of growing up, and sometimes I personally find myself saying goodbye unconsciously to those distant childhood dreams.

However, we meed dreams. They nourish our spirit; they represent possibility even when we are dragged down by reality. They keep us going. Most successful people are dreamers as well as ordinary people who are not afraid to think big and dare to be great. When we were little kids, we all dreamed of doing something big and splashy, something significant. Now what we need to do is to maintain them, refresh them and turn them into reality. However, the toughest part is that we often have no ideas how to translate these dreams into actions. Well, just start with concrete objectives and stick to it. Don’t let the nameless fear confuse the eye and confound our strong belief of future. Through our talents, through our wits, through our endurance and through our creativity, we will make it.

Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly. Hold fast to dreams, for when dreams go, life is a barren field frozen with snow. So my dear friends, think of your old and maybe dead dreams. Whatever it is, pick it up and make it alive from today.

看到这个题目,我不禁想起了几个故事。虽然是小故事,却体现了大智慧。

大文豪马克·吐温是一个幽默和宽容的人。有一天,他在一条幽静的小路上散步,对面走过来一个人,马克。吐温非常有礼貌地给他让路,而那个人却不屑一顾地翻翻白眼:“谢谢先生,不过,我不能同样给你让路,因为,我从来不给傻瓜让路。”马克。吐温笑了笑说:“可是,我只给傻瓜让路。”那人听后,羞得满脸通红。这是一则关于让路的小故事,让我看到了马克。吐温的机智,当别人羞辱他时,他不但没有生气,反而从容不迫地回答了那个人,还巧妙地还击了那个没有礼貌的人,让我非常敬佩他的过人之处。生活中,我也亲眼目睹过让路的事情。

我们小区的进出口不太合理,大门口有一个拐角,进出的车辆互相看不见,如果两辆车同时在拐角处相遇,就不能同时通过,如果互不相让,就会进退两难。有一次我和妈妈开车回家就遇到过这样的情况,我们刚开进小区大门,准备右拐的时候,就和一辆车不期而遇了。妈妈正准备倒车,没想到那辆车先往后倒了,倒进了一个停车位,并且拐了进去,这样我和妈妈就能顺利通过了,等我们过去后,那辆车也很顺利地拐出了小区。我们的心里充满了感激和温暖,我想,这位司机的素质真高,以后我遇到这样的事情,一定也要像这位司机学习,主动给别人让路。

现在人们的素质都很高,不但只给人让路,也会主动给动物让路,那件发生在温哥华的让路故事,大家还记得吗?在川流不息的马路上出现了一群可爱的小鸭子,当它们摇摇摆摆地过马路时,过往的司机都自觉停下车来,等小鸭子们都安全过了马路,车辆才开始正常行驶。这不是一件普通的让路,而是体现了人类的素养。

其实,让路很简单,你只需要做一个简单的动作,或者稍微等待一会儿,就会给别人带来方便,让我们的内心一直保持一个“谦让”,世界就会多一些温暖和快乐。让出一小步,品格迈进一大步,让我们学会让路,做一个拥有智慧、懂得谦让的人吧!

全文共 3582 字

The imperial palace, also known as the Forbidden City, is the imperial

palace of the Ming and qing dynasties, which is the largest and most complete

ancient architectural complex in China. I especially want to know the

architecture of ancient palaces and the living environment of ancient

emperors.

One weekend in the golden autumn, the sun is shining and the autumn wind is

crisp. My mother and I went to visit the Palace Museum in the center of the

city. I was very happy.

Enter the gate of the Forbidden City, "wow! Its so big here!" I couldnt

help it. The mother said, "the most spectacular is still in the back!" We first

visited the architectural model of the imperial palace and its construction. I

know that the imperial palace covers an area of over 720,000 square meters, with

more than 9,000 rooms, all wooden structures, and all the wooden structures have

no nails. The palace is the blue and white stone base, the tall roof, the yellow

glazed tile, the pattern of the dragon everywhere, and decorated with the

brilliant color of the golden wall. I observed all the palaces, and found that

the palaces were lined up along the north-south axis, and spread out to the

sides, to the north and south, and to the right and left. I told mom, I found

mother listen to nod a smile, said: "the central axis not only in the Forbidden

City, and nanda YongDingMen, north to the drum tower, almost throughout the

whole city. Its magnificent, well-planned and spectacular.

We have been visiting the taihe temple from the imperial garden. What a

breathtaking view! In the Forbidden City, the most striking is the "three halls"

: the hall of supreme harmony, the hall of harmony, the hall of protection and

the temple. They are all built on the 8-meter-high base of the white jade, which

looks like the qiong yuyu in the myth. The first hall of supreme harmony was the

most magnificent building. People called it the "throne room". It was the place

where the emperor held the grand ceremony. It is 28 meters high, 63 meters, 35

meters north and south, and a large pillar with a diameter of 1 meter. Among

them, six large pillars, one meter in diameter around the throne, are flat

dragon pillars of leached gold. The throne is located at the base of the two

meters high in the temple, with the graceful crane and the top of the furnace,

followed by a carefully carved screen. The whole hall is decorated with golden

walls, which are both majestic and magnificent. The hall of neutralization was

the place where the emperor went to the hall of supreme harmony to take a rest

and exercise etiquette. Baohe and the temple are the place where the emperor

gives banquet to the king of the foreign land every New Year. This is just the

palace buildings, and house decoration is numerous, the rarities of the mother

said: "these treasures is only part of it, when Chiang kai-shek fled to Taiwan

carried away many treasure palace, there are some loss in a foreign country". I

feel sorry for the loss of these treasures. When will these lost treasures

return to the embrace of the motherland? I am looking forward to the reunion of

Taiwan and mainland as soon as possible.

The visit of the Forbidden City made me linger. The Palace Museum is an

unparalleled masterpiece. It is a miracle. Our five thousand years of Chinese

culture are profound and profound, and we should be proud and proud to have

built such a magnificent palace for the ancients. At the same time, we also have

the responsibility to protect these cultural relics from destruction, so that

the five thousand years of splendid civilization of the motherland will be

handed down.

篇9:回忆初中三年的语文学习中考话题

从“千里冰封,万里雪飘”的北国风光,到“大漠孤烟直,长河落日圆”的大漠西域;上一秒还沉浸在罗敷“头上倭堕髻,耳中明月珠”的美貌,下一秒又为“独倚望江楼”的思妇而黯然神伤。穿梭古今的时间轴,领略上下五千年的美文美诗美词,这,就是我们的语文课。

语文课上,受益良多。翻开书香满卷的课本:现代文单元篇篇文章,都向我们展示了不同的画面,写美景的文章,仿佛真的身临其境,细致的描写值得我们学习与借鉴,让自己的写作水平有所提高;文言文单元,古人的一字一句都值得我们细细琢磨,“一切景语皆情语”一句写景的句子却暗含作者的思想感情。相同的字却在不同的句子中有着不同的含义,不禁让我惊叹中华文化的神奇。语文课,为写作水平和阅读水平打下了坚实的基础,让我得到成长。

语文课上,乐趣多多。分角色朗读往往是我们无比期待却又不愿“面对”的环节。当角色分配完毕,上下秒还犹犹豫豫不愿举手的同学们下一秒便直起身乐呵呵地期待其他同学的朗读。分角色朗读其实是最展示个人特色的一个环节:有的同学读出了王的傲慢与无理,引起同学们的叫好声;有的同学的感情丰富,引人入胜,话音刚落便赢得了阵阵掌声,有的同学的“方言版”特色朗读,让同学们一个个捧腹大笑。语文课,为沉重的学习生活释放了压力,让我得到快乐。

语文课上,“苦不堪言”。每当听到“过关”二字,同学们或多或少都会抱怨,“怎么又过关啊?”的声音在考试前夕像复读机一般在每节语文课上准时响起。新学期开始,过关再次开始。过《无题》赏析时,“请赏析春蚕到死丝方尽,蜡炬成灰泪始干。”话音一落,全班静的便只能听见笔尖飞快划过纸面的沙沙声,写毕抬头,右边的同学一字未动,趴在桌上,蠢蠢欲动的手似乎总想翻开书看两眼。可迫于老师的压力,每次都是不甘心地抽回手,“交给组长。”听到这话后便长舒一口气,,不情不愿地交了上去;发下过关本打开发现自己过了关,像是中了彩票一般惊喜。可无论怎么抱怨,还是得老老实实地等待下一次“抱怨”的到来。语文课,让我对其又爱又“恨”,却总是在抱怨后,更加能努力迎接未来。

喜怒哀乐,嬉笑怒骂,这才构成了完整的语文课,才是我们内心真正希望,真正喜爱的语文课。

We became friends by accident. One day Jack was playing basketball on the playground. Amazed at how skillful he was, I made up my mind to play as well as him. I was grateful when he agreed to teach me. Every time when I wanted to give up halfway, it was Jack who encouraged me. Gradually, I mastered the skills and became confident enough to challenge the best players in our school.

(2)我帮助别人

It happened on a Friday when I was seated in a crowded bus, heading for my school. It was just at that moment that an elderly lady with her little grandson stepped onto the bus. Immediately, I offered my seat to them without hesitation. The elderly lady expressed her great appreciation to me and we enjoyed a pleasant short trip together.

(3)做家务表示对父母的感恩

Being a 15-year-old middle school student and feeling my parents have done so much to me, I have been considering what I can do for them to show my gratitude. Last Sunday, when my parents went out shopping, I decided to take this opportunity to do something helpful for our family. Not only did I clean the bowls and cookers, but I put all the messy things away. Tired and sweaty, I was about to open the door to throw rubbish when my parents showed up at the door. They were amazed to see what I had done and praised me. From then on, I determined to work harder to do more for my family.

When the national entrance examination is over, people always pay more

attention to those who are enrolled by colleges and universities. Those who

failed the examination are treated coldly. Being enrolled by colleges and

universities is, of course, worth congratulating. But giving the successful

candidates excessive praise and neglecting those who failed the examination

might send the wrong message: young people do not have a bright future unless

they go to college or university.

Teachers, parents and society, therefore, should give more attention to

students failing the examination. They are in more urgent need of understanding,

warmth and encouragement. We should tell them that to go to college is not the

only way to success, and that, if they make enough effort, they can still

develop talents in other occupations that will serve society.

Personally, the country’s economic development requires not only

specialized scientists and technical experts, but also knowledge-based workers

and skilled laborers. After some vocational training, these senior high school

students can also become backbones in their own fields and contribute their

wisdom to our society.

Last Qingming Festival,i return home to worship my grandfather.Qingming

Festival is a folk Festival.In the past,the Qingming Festival was called "Arbor

Day". But Today, Chinese visit their family graves to tend to any underbrush

that has grown. Weeds are pulled, and dirt swept away, and the family will set

out offerings of food and spirit money. Unlike the sacrifices at a familys home

altar, the offerings at the tomb usually consist of dry, bland food. One theory

is that since any number of ghosts rome around a grave area, the less appealing

food will be consumed by the ancestors, and not be plundered by strangers.

With the passing of time, this celebration of life became a day to the

honor past ancestors. Following folk religion, the Chinese believed that the

spirits of deceased ancestors looked after the family. Sacrifices of food and

spirit money could keep them happy, and the family would prosper through good

harvests and more children.
