Many animals are in danger of dying out. As is shown in the chart, we can

see the number of animal species decreases faster and faster and this trend will

continue. From 1980 to 2010, at least 1 million animal species have disappeared.

Worse still, more and more wild animals are in great danger. It is not a piece

of sensational news; it is a fact, a harsh reality. Unfortunately, we may not

see these animals in the near future.

From the second picture, we can find some reasons. Why is the number of

animal species declining year by year? Apparently animals have become victims of

fashion industry. Animal skin has been used to make fashionable clothes and

these clothes sell at a high price. So some greedy people begin to kill animals

in a large quantity. This irresponsible behavior not only breaks the balance of

nature but also endangers the living environment of human beings.

As far as I am concerned, something must be done to stop this illegal

action. We believe "no buying, no killing". First, we must make concerning laws

to protect these animals in danger. Second, we must take some measures to

protect animals effectively. Animals are our friends and part of our

environment. Third, we should raise peoples awareness to protect animals and

our environment. In this way, we can build a harmonious society and ensure a

sustainable development.

We absently replied: "to play bai!" The mother asked again: "that winter vacation homework?" "Bai!" We replied again. But, these four words, like a match under the gas cylinder, 1 of "嗵", let the things around. Mother to our big flag of "political education", strong offensive made us overwhelmed, had to "pleaded guilty," wrote the necessary - the holiday plan. Content is roughly like this:

Morning: complete some winter vacation homework, back to 10 English words, to complete an English composition, etc.;

Afternoon: copybook a page, review the learned knowledge, play, etc.

Let me satisfied and the plan is to mix. Whenever writing heads, you can go out to relax, as in longjing rap song sings: "open your mind let it go out breathe. Take a deep breath, exhale the worry and stress..." To help grandma sweep the floor, to grandpa poured a glass of water, listen to music... Relax enough, to write my homework again, the efficiency will improve a lot!

If I can fulfill the task of the day in the morning, afternoon, then, is my free time, want to do, he wants to do. Still can watch TV or a movie tonight!

? My winter vacation plan all right?

哈哈!期末考试终于结束了,卷子也领了,寒假就在我美妙的想法中开始了。可惜,事与愿违,我希望寒假可以开开心心玩耍的想法,却被下班回家的妈妈击碎了:

晚上,妈妈下班回家了,一进门,就看到我俩在屋子游手好闲地晃,妈妈一下子就生气了,问道:“你们俩在寒假想要干什么?”我俩心不在焉地答道:“玩呗!”妈妈又问道:“那寒假作业呢?”“写呗!”我俩又答道。可没想到,这四个字,犹如放在煤气罐下的火柴,“嗵”的一声,让周围的事物化为乌有。妈妈向我俩大举“政治教育”的旗帜,强烈攻势使我俩招架不住,只得“认罪伏法”,写下了放假必备——计划书。内容大体是这样:

上午:完成一些寒假作业,背会10个英语单词,完成一篇英语作文等;

下午:字帖一页,复习所学知识,玩耍等。

而这份计划最让我满意的就是劳逸结合。每当写的头晕脑胀时,就可以出去放松一下,正如龙井说唱的歌里所唱的:“敲开你的脑子让它出来透透气吧!来个深呼吸,呼出那烦恼和压力……”帮奶奶扫扫地,给爷爷倒杯水,听听音乐……等放松够了,再去写作业,效率会提高不少呢!

如果我能在上午完成这一天的任务,那么下午,就是我的自由时光了,想干什么,就干什么。晚上还能看电视或电影呢!

怎么样?我的寒假计划不错吧?

New Years eve at noon, I saw my grandma cooked a lot of rice, just curious to ask: why want to cook so much rice, we also cant eat a meal? Grandmother replied: "want to cook some more, todays day cant cook fresh rice again. For tujia people seldom eat fish, so be about to cook more, it is also called more every year."

New Years eve afternoon, grandpa and father stick couplets, I also coincided with in the past. East, west to see see. When my father asked me: "do you know why do we need to stick couplets?" I answered: "know a little bit, festive bai." "Also right, couplet to express the good wish of people to pray for good fortune in the New Year. Now we stick couplets, cannot go toward outside throwing things, even cant throw rubbish, until annual lunar calendar to throw things. This means that circle the goods at home." Dad went on to say that.

On the evening of New Years eve, the home of the elder led the family to "worship the mountain ancestor worship". On the front of ancestors grave red candle and incense, placed offerings, to miss to ancestors. This also is respect for them.

These are the Spring Festival customs of tujia, I know you think its interesting.

过年啦!每个地方都有不同的习俗,并且都各具特色。今年我有幸回趟老家重庆过年,就让我给大家介绍一下土家族的春节习俗吧。

除夕的中午,我见奶奶煮了好多饭,就好奇的上前去询问:为什么要煮这么多饭,我们一顿也吃不了呀?奶奶回答道:“今天要多煮一些,大年初一可不能再煮新鲜饭。因为土家族人很少吃鱼,所以就要多煮饭,这也叫‘年年有余’吧。”

除夕的下午,爷爷和爸爸一起贴对联,我也过去凑热闹。东看看,西瞧瞧。这时爸爸问我:“你知道我们为什么要贴对联吗?”我回答:“知道一点点,喜庆呗。”“也对吧,对联是为了表达人们祈求新年福运的美好心愿。现在我们贴好了对联,就不能往外扔东西了,连垃圾也不能扔,一直要到大年初二才可以扔东西。这样就表示把财圈在家里了。”爸爸接着说。

除夕的傍晚,由家里的最长者带领全家去“拜山祭祖”。在先辈的坟前点上红烛和香,摆上祭品,以表对先辈的怀念。这也是对他们的尊敬。

这些就是我了解的土家人的春节习俗,你觉得有趣吧。

The Lunar New Year is now popularly known as the Spring Festival because it starts from the Begining of Spring . Its origin is too old to be traced. Several explanations are hanging around. All agree, however, that the word Nian, which in modern Chinese solely means year , was originally the name of a monster beast that started to prey on people the night before the beginning of a new year.

One legend goes that the beast Nian had a very big mouth that would swallow a great many people with one bite. People were very scared. One day, an old man came to their rescue, offering to subdue Nian. To Nian he said, I hear say that you are very capable, but can you swallow the other beasts of prey on earth instead of people who are by no means of your worthy opponents? So, it did swallow many of the beasts of prey on earth that also harassed people and their domestic animals from time to time.

After that, the old man disappeared riding the beast Nian. He turned out to be an immortal god. Now that Nian is gone and other beasts of prey are also scared into forests, people begin to enjoy their peaceful life. Before the old man left, he had told people to put up red paper decorations on their windows and doors at each year s end to scare away Nian in case it sneaked back again, because red is the color the beast feared the most.

From then on, the tradition of observing the conquest of Nian is carried on from generation to generation. The term Guo Nian , which may mean Survive the Nian becomes today Celebrate the Year as the word guo in Chinese having both the meaning of pass-over and observe . The custom of putting up red paper and firing fire-crackers to scare away Nian should it have a chance to run loose is still around.
