stories... I like them all。 Haha, summer vacation packages can treat. I read

atmosphere created by "cry", the sad and ridiculous Kong Yi seemed to have added
a lot of misery. Also read "naughty bag horse small jump", humorous humor only
smile to the stomach pain. The book is really spiritual food!
Voltaire said, "life lies in movement." The long summer vacation, in order
to make my health is good, we must do some exercise. A sport that I love most is

efforts to learn for table tennis, a qualitative leap. I looked at the little
yellow ball jumping up and down, while the sweat, but in the heart of the
emergence of unspeakable joy.
Holiday is at home, on the Internet. Of course I this "netheads" to a

to the BBS irrigation, send post, understanding the novel interesting. Play

melodious music ups and downs, I feel the people are immersed in the music, is
really a kind of enjoyment! Since the said: listen to music at any time, its
nuts. Point open "Baidu", hot news reports immediately appear in front of, hey,
really many ah! The whole country and the big and small things are immediately
present, really countless ah! There is a lot of encyclopedia knowledge on the
Internet. I suck the nutrition of knowledge in the ocean of knowledge, and add
some extracurricular knowledge. It is: the Internet, a good holiday partner.

me, and I believe I will have a fullest and most meaningful holiday.

篇12:寒假假期计划英语
全文共 1469 字
+ 加入清单The New Year opened the door for us, and the winter holidays crept to our side. Like last year, I made a "winter vacation plan" early. I dont want to waste this good time.
The first thing is to combine. During this time, I kept reading and writing more. Now I have read six good books and wrote more than ten compositions. I also borrowed the book of the fifth grade from my relatives, and when I had time, I would turn over to look at it, learn the skills, and memorize the formulas.
When youre tired, take a break, watch TV, play computer games, or play games with your neighbors. Of course, you cant spend more time playing than studying! Otherwise its not good. In our stage, the most important thing is to learn, so, can not be too fond of play.
The second point is to help my parents to work. Our parents come back from work and have to do housework. They are very tired when they are busy. When we are sons and daughters, we should help them to do what we can to help them relieve some of the burden. In this way, not only can we exercise our practical ability, strengthen our constitution, and be able to be praised by our parents, not an arrow three?
Third, last point. I want to get into the habit of going to bed early and get up early. In this way, you can kill two birds with one stone, which can enhance the health and fuel economy. Wouldnt that be great?
In winter vacation, I must strictly follow the plan book, happily in the big year, over winter vacation!

全文共 966 字
+ 加入清单Last Qingming Festival,i return home to worship my grandfather.Qingming Festival is a folk Festival.In the past,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.

篇20:关于清明节英语
全文共 1089 字
+ 加入清单The Qingming (Pure Brightness) Festival is one of the 24 solar terms in
China, falling on April 4-6 each year. After the festival, the temperature will
rise up and rainfall increase. It is the high time for spring plowing and
sowing. In the past, the Qingming Festival was called “Arbor Day”, but since
1979, “Arbor Day” was settled on March 12 according to the Gregorian
calendar.
But the Qingming Festival is not only a solar term to guide farm work, it
is more a festival of commemoration. It sees a combination of sadness and
happiness. This is the most important day of sacrifice. Both the Han and
minority ethnic groups at this time offer sacrifices to their ancestors and
sweep the tombs of the diseased. On each Qingming Festival, all cemeteries are
crowded with people who come to sweep tombs and offer sacrifices, but the
customs have been greatly simplified today. After slightly sweeping the tombs,
people offer food, flowers, then burn incense and ghost money. In short, it’s a
time to cherish the memory of our ancestors and show our respect to them. Also,
it’s a time for family gathering.
