问我喜欢的小动物是什么，那我会毫不犹豫的回答——我家的小黑狗!

小黑狗的性情很温顺，很通人性。

我和它相处久了，产生了感情，它好像很理解我。每当我生气的时候，它就静静地蹲在我身边一动也不动，似乎想陪我度过那难过的时间;我高兴的时候，它就会围着我跑来跑去，“汪汪汪”地叫着，很讨人喜欢。

小黑狗可逗人喜欢了!

一身黑亮亮的绒毛，眼睛上面有两个白点，颇像两颗白色珠子。头上和大腿上的毛很长，像马鬓一样拖到地面。直楞楞的耳朵，好象时刻在倾听着周围有什么动静。又粗又长的扫帚尾巴不时摇摆着，像一个免费清洁工呢!更逗人的是它总翘着潮湿的鼻子向着我，像一个生病的孩子，看起来似乎很可怜，其实，我知道它很想和我玩。在向我发出邀请呢!

小狗的经历危险也有几次。

第一次是掉进了河里，幸好被人发现拉了上来，喂给它吃药，不久就好了。还有几次是被毒狗的人毒了几次，幸好也被及早治疗，才得脱险了。从那以后，它就能嗅出那些食物有毒，哪些食物无毒。后来，我家的狗再也没中过毒。它够机灵吧!

小黑狗就是我喜欢的动物，因为它给我带来了许多欢声笑语!你们喜欢的动我是什么呢?

This is a good start, the world for her coming lit up all the lights in between heaven and earth, she picked up the breeze of the pen, draw the mind carpet of flowers of the earth. In this world, the spring is coming.

Start from now, the world is like open space, after she started her unique prosperous. All things recovery, the creatures of the world have started to busy to complete the mission of nature gives them, to life hard for the prosperity in the world, the flowers grass grow hard, that used to sorrow, now taken on a new look! The cold night, be light cut, deported from warm, everything begins to exclamation busy!

这是一个美好的开始，世界因她的来临点亮了天地之间所有的灯，她拿起微风的笔，画出心目中繁花似锦的大地。在这个世界里，春天来临了。

从此刻开始，世界就像初开的宇宙，开始了她独特的繁华。万物复苏，世界的生灵们开始忙碌的完成大自然给予它们的使命，为了世间的繁华努力生活，花儿草儿拼命生长，那曾经凄清之地，现在焕然一新!那寒冷的夜，被光芒划破，被温暖驱逐，万物开始感叹繁华!

嚣张的气焰被赶走，取而代之的是春天的温柔，温和的手安慰着受惊的动物们，引领它们放心大胆走出自己的家;春风轻声呼唤着地下沉眠的小精灵，它们从土壤中奋发向上，最终变成了小动物们爱吃的果实，来安抚这些大自然的可爱的孩子们。

远处的小池边，鸭子妈妈后面跟着许多乖巧可爱的小鸭子，水中的鱼儿欢快的游着，池水在不知不觉中变得十分温暖。近处，在温暖的阳光照耀下，花瓣在阳光下飞舞，开满花的树枝几乎垂到青草上。那些美丽的花儿，只要轻轻一碰就会纷纷落下。

这时的天空开始下微雨，伴随着越来越急促的“嘀嗒嘀嗒”的旋律声时，雨，这个小精灵开始冲刷罪恶的寒气，换来用空气织出的丝丝清凉，这就是春天的开始。

大家好！我名字叫郑博洋，郑成功成，博士博，海洋洋，满族。我个子不矮，但和班上高个儿比起来，就逊色多。和大多数同学一样，我今年也是13岁。

我缺点。主要是作事不麻利，自觉性不高，对自己事不上心。上六年级时候，学校就在我家对面。我却常常是七点半起床，要做半个多时准备才能出门，还经常迟到。因此同学们叫我“迟到大王”。现在，最起码六点多就要起床，才能有足够时候吃饭、坐车等。这对我是个挑战。不过，我一定要借这个机会，改掉我不麻利坏习惯。另外，自觉性不高，上课不免做些动作、讲话。前几天大家都参加军训，站着要一动也不动。我感到通这次军训，我自觉性有所提高。我也希望在以后学习中改掉这个毛病。对自己事不上心。我在当数学课代表时，有好几次本子忘发，作业没收齐，挨过老师不少责备。我也希望改掉它。我有决心改掉我缺点和坏习惯。

我优点：我和很多同学一样，也找不出我优点。我和父母讨论之后得出：较有上进心，较乐观。五年级时我成绩不算好，六年级时，我知道努力学习重要性，经过努力后，我在班上成绩就比较好。遇到难题不会作就想“没事，说不定突然想起来呢？错也没关系，吸取经验嘛。”至于我更多优点，就大家发掘！我兴趣爱好。我比较喜欢游泳，踢足球，也对军事感兴趣。如果谁和我“志同道合”，就可以找我交个朋友。对未来初中生活期望。我希望能在这三年里快乐地度过，能和同学们结下深厚友谊，能从老师那里学到更多知识和道理。

学习目标：能考上重点高中；在班上成绩应理想；能够超过学时同学。

我希望大家能够解我，喜欢我，也希望同学们能团结友爱地度过这三年。

Halloween

Halloween is an autumn holiday that Americans celebrate every year. It means "holy evening," and it comes every October 31, the evening before All Saints Day. However, it is not really a church holiday, it is a holiday for children mainly.

Every autumn, when the vegetables are ready to eat, children pick large orange pumpkins. Then they cut faces in the pumpkins and put a burning candle inside. It looks as if there were a person looking out of the pumpkin! These lights are called jack-o-lanterns, which means "Jack of the lantern".

The children also put on strange masks and frightening costumes every Halloween. Some children paint their faces to look like monsters. Then they carry boxes or bags from house to house. Every time they come to a new house, they say,"Trick or treat! Money or eat!" The grown-ups put treat-money or candy in their bags.

Not only children, but most grown-ups also love Halloween and Halloween parties because on this day,they can disguise themselves as personages or ghost as their imaginations will lead them. This bring them the satisfaction of being young.

万圣节前夕

万圣节前夕是美国人年年都会庆祝的秋季节日。它的意思是“神圣的夜晚”，在每年的10月31日，也就是万圣节前夜。但实际上这不是一个真正的宗教节日，而主要是孩子们的节日。

每年秋天蔬菜成熟可以食用的时候，孩子们就会挑出大个儿的橙色南瓜。然后在南瓜上刻上一张脸，把一根点燃的蜡烛放在里面。看起来就好像有人在向南瓜外面张望。这些灯就叫做“iack-o-lantems”，意思也就是“杰克的灯”。

每年万圣节前夕孩子们还戴上奇怪的面具，穿上吓人的服装。有些孩子把脸刷成怪物。然后他们拿着盒子或袋子挨家挨户串门。每来到一个新房子他们就说：“不款待就捣乱!给钱还是吃的!”大人们就会把用来招待的钱或糖放在他们的袋子里了。

不仅孩子，许多成年人也喜欢万圣节前夕和万圣节前夕晚会。因为这一天他们可以根据自己的想象把自己装扮成名流或幽灵。这会带给他们年轻的快感。

My name is xxx. There are 4 people in my family. My father is a Chemistry teacher. He teaches chemistry in senior high school. My mother is an English teacher. She teaches English in the university. I have a younger brother, he is a junior high school student and is preparing for the entrance exam.

I hope to study both English and computer technology because I am interested in both of the subjects. Maybe one day I could combine both of them and apply to my research in the future.

我姓梁，名字是绮雯，今年十一岁。可能有些人不太解我吧，所以，现在我做个自我介绍吧。我身高有1、5米，不瘦不胖。我有一双近视眼，一个大鼻子，一张嘴巴和两只不大不耳朵。我有个很开心家庭和很多友好朋友。

我是一个比较喜欢安静女孩，我不喜欢别人在我写东西或者读书时候，打扰我，这样我会不高兴。我很少于同学说话和一起玩，我只想自己一个人安静安静。这就是性格。

我有个跟其他人不同习惯，就是只不写完作业，我都不会做任何一件事情，还会心里很难受，很不开心，又没心思做任何事情，只要做完作业我会很开心去玩。我有个不好习惯，就是我一回到家，我都会首先看电视，或者玩电脑。所以视力都提高，现在我决心改掉这个坏习惯，把视力减弱。

以前我在（2）班担任中队长和班长，年级每位老师对我管理能力都很赞赏。其它班中队长都很佩服我。现在我在（5）班里，是担任副班长，因为不想做太辛苦。

在学习上，我还勉强可以。以后一定要继续努力。

现在我介绍完，你们现在解我吗？希望你们也介绍你们自己给我认识，我们一起交个朋友。
