With the development of science and technology, there are more and more new

products appearing in human beings’ life. Cell phone is a good example.

Nowadays, cell phone has been widely used in people’s daily life. It seems that

people can’t live without it. In my opinion, cell phone really brings so many

advantages to mankind.

First of all, cell phone is very convenient. People can connect with anyone

in anywhere if that person has a mobile phone, too. In other words, people have

to write letter in paper and then wait for a long time to make the letter

arrived the destination in the old days, but now people can write message on

cell phone and then send it to the person they want in a second or just dial

that person’s mobile phone number and then they can talk with each other in a

few second. Secondly, mobile phone can act as a safe guarantee. When people face

dangerous, they can use cell phone to dial 110 to report to the police or ask

for help from friends nearby. And when people worry about another man, they can

call him to make sure whether he is OK or not. Last but not least, mobile phone

contains much interesting entertainment, which can bring lots of happiness to

human beings and make their life more colorful.

In general, cell phone is the product of high-tech, which brings lots of

benefits to our human beings.

Dear Maria,

The festival is best known for its dragon-boat races,especially in the southern places where there are many rivers and lakes. It’s very popular.

The rice dumpling is made of glutinous rice,meat and so on. You can eat different kinds of rice dumplings.They are very delicious.

And Dragon Boat Festival is for Qu Yuan. He is an honest minister who is said to have committed suicide by drowning himself in a river.

Overall, the Dragon Boat Festival is very interesting!

Your friend

Li Hua

The custom of Dragon Boat Festival is always eaten with zongzi, the smell

of zongzi is sweet, and there are layers of bamboo leaves outside, and there are

all kinds of stuffing in it.

Speaking of zongzi, I have a story, two thousand years ago, the lunar

calendar in the early May, the five, Qu Yuan threw stone to the river, the

people heard this news all families packed zongzi, came to the river to

dumplings dumplings into the river, using this method to protect the body of Qu

Yuan.

Dumplings are divided into two types, a cylindrical bamboo called zongzi, a

triangle is called bamboo leaves. The family back to the child wearing Wusi line

painted on the head, "King", ed wormwood in the house...... The custom of the

Dragon Boat Festival is quite a lot.

I love the Dragon Boat Festival!

Chinese New Year starts with the new moon on the first day of the new year

and ends on the the full days later. In china,people regard Spring Festival as

the most important thing.People studied and worked throughout the year.No matter

how far and how busy, they must do their best to go back home.Thats a tradition

and now becoming a habit. During this time,transport is extremely busy.Although

the way is difficult,it cant reduce the urgent feeling of going home.I cant

describe this feeling,only the people that experienced it can

understand.Actually,on one hand,people miss their family,and they need to get

comfort in the family.On the other hand,getting together is a symbol of

blessedness and auspiciousness.People in other country dont have this

consciousness that going home is necessary.For example,American could celebrate

the Christmas in everywhere they like or with anybody.This diversity is

occasioned by different culture between two countries.

On Spring festivals eve,the whole family prepare the dinner.Of

course,dumplings is essential.In the

evening,family members always sit at the television and watch Spring

Festival Gala.At 0:00,people set off firecrackers and fireworks,at the same

time,children pay New Year,s call to old people.The old people give money to the

children as a lunar new year gift.Usually,people stay up late or all night.

On lunar New Years Day, the Chinese family eat vegetarian dumplings which

imply they will plain and neat in this year. People change their new

clothes,this stands for a new beginning.Next,people visit relatives with some

gifts.The second day is son-in-laws festival,the husband and married women

visit their side of the family.In a word,Chinese attach great importance to

Spring Festival.

Recently, we have little time to keep close contact with nature. We spend

too much time on study or working. We almost forget that how green the grass is,

how beautiful the flowers are, and how sweetly the birds are singing outside our

windows. A saying goes, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy". It means

that we need to relax ourselves and go out to breathe more fresh air. We can

also climb a hill in the suburbs.Its good for our health.

Lets go outing.

Every morning you can see the sun rising in the east The sun gives us light

When you stand in the sun you can feel the heat The sun gives us heat from very

far away The sun is about one hundred and fifty million kilometers away It looks

small because it is so far from us, but it is actually very very big

The earth goes around the sun It takes the earth a year to go around the

sun Plants, animals and people need the sun We cannot live without the sun.

The Dragon Boat Festival is one of the most popular traditional festivals

celebrated in China, which is on the fifth of the fifth lunar month, also known

as Duanwu Festival. It’s said that it is to commemorate the death of a Chinese

patriotic poet, Qu Yuan, who was snared by corrupt officials in ancient China

and finally committed suicide by drowning himself in the Miluo River to protest

against them.

The traditions and customs held on this festival differ from place to

place, but there are some common in them. First, the most famous and great

tradition is holding Dragon Boat races, which are held by fishermen’s attempt to

protect Qu Yuan’s body against attacking by fishes and other animals in the

river by beating drums and row the dragon shaped boat. Nowadays dragon boat

races have been an annual popular sport activity among people. In addition,

making and eating Zongzi—a dumpling made of glutinous rice and wrapped in bamboo

or reed leaves—is also a popular custom during this day. It can be made by many

kinds of stuffing. What’s more, hanging herbs on the front door, drinking

realgar wine and pasting up picture of Zhongkui—a mythic guardian figure in

ancient china—are also popular during the festival, which are mean to protect

people from evil and disease.

These customs and traditions have been changed a little in recent years,

but they still make contribution to the spread and inheritance of Chinese

culture.

2020年的春节，在所有中国人的心里，注定是一个永生难忘的记忆。新型冠状病毒的肆虐，让辞旧迎新的钟声更加沉重，人们脸上的那一个个口罩，让这个春节倍感冷清。

The Spring Festival in 2020, in the hearts of all Chinese people, is

destined to be a memorable memory forever. The novel coronaviruss raging force

makes the bell ring for the old and new year more heavy, and the mask on

peoples faces makes the Spring Festival feel cold.

这个冬天，梅花依然宁静地开放;这个冬天，蓝天依旧明净如洗;这个冬天的武汉却非常艰难，全国人民却非常艰难。在这特殊的日子里，我们谨遵医嘱，静静地待在家中。我们为武汉忧心忡忡，我们为治愈病例的增多而感到高兴，为武汉的人们牵肠挂肚。

This winter, the plum blossom is still quietly open; this winter, the blue

sky is still bright and clean; this winter, Wuhan is very difficult, but the

people of the whole country are very difficult. On this special day, we would

like to follow the doctor s advice and stay at home quietly. We are worried

about Wuhan, we are happy with the increase of cured cases, and we are worried

about people in Wuhan.

与此同时，有一群人，他们正冲在前方，用自己的平凡之躯为身后的亿万中国人筑起防护的堡垒,他们舍小家为大家，不眠不休，战斗在这场没有硝烟的战场上的最前沿。他们是来自全国各地的最美逆行者，他们是新时代的最美先锋人物，他们是可亲可敬的白衣天使。

At the same time, there are a group of people, they are rushing forward,

using their ordinary bodies to build a fortress for the hundreds of millions of

Chinese people behind them. They leave their small homes for everyone,

sleepless, fighting in the forefront of this battlefield without smoke of

gunpowder. They are the most beautiful rebels from all over the country. They

are the most beautiful pioneers in the new era. They are amiable and respectable

angels in white.

在这群人当中，有一位84岁的老院士，叫钟南山，17年前，这位老院士奋斗在抗非的最前线上，为抗击非典立下了汗马功劳。17年后的今天他临危受命，搭上前往武汉的高铁，再次前往抗击疫情的前线;86岁的董宗祁老教授，他坐在轮椅上，一上午看了30多个病人，他说：“我这辈子，就是为了救人”;73岁的李兰娟教授，知道国家有难，她毫不犹豫前往武汉，坚定地说出她的誓言：“我打算长期待在武汉，与那边的医护人员一起奋斗!”

Among these people, there is an 84 year old academician named Zhong

Nanshan. 17 years ago, the old academician fought in the forefront of anti

Africa and made great contributions to the fight against SARS. 17 years later,

he was ordered to take the high-speed railway to Wuhan and go to the front line

of fighting the epidemic again. Professor Dong zongqi, 86, sat in a wheelchair

and saw more than 30 patients in the morning. He said, "my life is to save

people"; Professor Li Lanjuan, 73, knew that the country was in trouble. She did

not hesitate to go to Wuhan and firmly said her oath: "I intend to stay in Wuhan

for a long time and fight with the medical staff there!"

这世上哪有什么岁月静好，只是因为有人在替我们负重前行罢了，这世上哪有什么天生的英雄，只有因为人们需要，才有人愿意牺牲自己成为英雄。

There is no time in this world that is quiet, just because someone is

carrying the weight for us. There is no natural hero in this world. Only because

people need, can someone be willing to sacrifice themselves to become a

hero.

虽然我不知道他们是谁，但我明白他们是为了谁。他们也许并不富裕，甚至有些贫穷;他们也许并不高大，甚至有些瘦弱;他们也许并不光鲜，甚至有点卑微，他们的形象在我心中是那样模糊，但他们的精神在我心中却是那样鲜明;不计生死，不求回报，默默坚守的他们，守护着健康，保卫着生命。

Although I dont know who they are, I know who they are for. They may not

be rich, or even poor; they may not be tall, or even thin; they may not be

bright, or even a little humble, their image in my heart is so fuzzy, but their

spirit in my heart is so bright; regardless of life and death, do not ask for

return, they stick to silently, guard health, protect life.

普通的我们无法到达正面战场与病毒作战，我们只能做好我们的后勤工作，不出门，少出门，勤洗手，戴口罩，这是为了不给他们添麻烦，祝愿他们平安早日凯旋。

Ordinary we cant reach the front battlefield to fight against the virus.

We can only do our logistical work well, not going out, not going out, washing

hands frequently, wearing masks, so as not to give them trouble, and wish them a

safe and early victory.

彩虹为证，千古不变，我要高歌。为生命喜悦，万物都歌颂你的慈爱，大地诉说你的恩情。

Rainbow as evidence, eternal, I want to sing. For the joy of life, all

things sing of your love, and the earth speaks of your kindness.

致敬白衣天使!

Salute the angel in white!

致敬最美逆行者!

Salute the most beautiful rebel!

致敬抗击疫情的每一个人!

Pay homage to everyone fighting the epidemic!

Before I went to middle school, I lived with my grandparents. At that time,

I stayed in the country, which was the most beautiful place for me. Early in the

morning, I walked along the country road, appreciating the fresh air. We raised

a little dog. He was my best friend, and he accompanied me all the time. No

matter what I did and where I went, the little dog was with me and I loved him

so much. Sometimes I would pick up the fruit in the garden, sometimes I would

catch the fish in the clear river. It was such a happy childhood for me that I

will never forget.

Computer is a very useful machine. Some of them are big, but some of them

are very small .Many people like playing computer. Computer has many functions,

so that people can do a lot of things by computer, like watching movies,

listening to the music or playing games. It can make our lives very colorful and

convenient. Various people can make good use of computer. Children can use

computer to learn and play games. Parents can use computers to work. I think

computer is a kind of wonderful and interesting machine, so I like computer very

much.

I like eating various kinds of fruits, but what I like most is apple. Apple

is red, round, and juicy. It looks so nice and tastes so sweet. Almost everyone

likes it. And its also very cheap. We can buy it everywhere.

Apple is not only delicious, but also nutritious, because it contains the

vitamins we need. Having apples everyday can make us healthy and wise. Just as

saying goes," An apple a day keeps the doctors away.

Whats more, apple can be made into many kinds of foods and drinks. For

example, apple milk shake is so popular among people. Its so easy to make. Here

is the list: First, peel three apples and cut them into pieces. Second, put the

apples and ice cream into a blender, and then pour some milk into the blender.

Next, turn on the blender, and the milk shake will be ready in two minutes.

Finally, drink the milk shake. This is the last but the most delightful

step.

Like any other English learner, I met a lot of difficulties in learning

English. First, I found it difficult to understand what I read because most

English words have more than one meaning. Besides, I found it difficult to write

in idiomatic English or put Chinese into idiomatic English. Finally, I couldnt

express in English orally because I had no opportunity to communicate with

native English speakers. Although I often read aloud, this didnt prove to be an

effective way to improve my spoken English. But I didnt lose heart in removing

these obstacles. I tackled English vocabulary in two ways. First,I tried to

understand and memorize the specific meaning of a word that appears in the

context. Second, I enlarge my vocabulary by learning the dictionary by heart. To

overcome Chinese English, I tried to think in English directly. Although I still

had no opportunity to communicate with native speakers, I improved spoken

English by listening to the English broadcast and writing English composition.

This expedient turned out to be effhctive.

Nowadays peoples life develops quite rapidly. Many things have changed

over the last century. Old buildings are relaced by skyscrapers. Telephone,

air-conditioner, TV, digital camera, computer and the Internet have taken their

place in our life. We have stepped into Information Age. We are always enjoying

the newest digital products. With all these hi-tech products, people are leading

a more and more colorful life. They are enjoying life more than ever in their

spare time. They can watch movies, surf the Internet, take a holiday and so on.

How different the present life is from the previous one when people couldnt

even feed themselves. Whats more, it differs a lot as well in transportation.

Various modern means of transpot have taken the place of human feet and horses.

People can take aeroplanes, subways, even maglevs and so on. They offer people

much convenience. That is to say, people neednt feel worried for wasting a

great deal of time travelling any more. However, while people are enjoying the

changes caused by hi-tech, something still remains the same. For example, those

traditional customs and festivals, especially the custom that people gather to

have dinner as well as ethical culture forms like Peking Opera, ancient

architecture and traditional food. Peking Opera is spreading throughout. As to

ancient architecture like Siheyuan and Hutong, people are still preserving them

well as the symbol of the whole nationalitys historical culture. As for

traditional food, people are still used to eating it. Even though the world has

been extremely highly developed and there are many foreign cultures are pouring

into China, traditional food is still the mainstream. So, I think, although

those hi-tech products bring along unprecedented creature comfort, traditional

cultures will stay unchanged and they will develop further. And on the original

basis, it must creat miracles one after another, because it belongs to the souls

of our Chinese nationality.

英语念起来干枯无聊，我偶尔往前面望去，有一排同学没事可做，竟然搞起敢死队的工作——在英语老师的眼皮子底下看漫画书，晕。更为巧合的是――竟然都是坐在一排的人！怀疑是不是串通好了的呢。

敢死队员1号：小心翼翼型

这位队员一边看着书，一边虎视耽耽地望着老师。瞧，他刚翻一页，就抬头看看老师，接着又翻一页，然后有抬头望望老师，这样重复循环，真不知道他把内容看进去没有。看见老师的目光没有扫向他，他赶紧抓住机会连翻几页，然后突然抬头，盯着老师。

敢死队员2号：动作怪怪型

这位队员可有点怪了，看着书，一会儿掏掏鼻子，一会儿打打哈欠，一会儿摸摸耳朵，一副惟恐天下不乱的样子，好像不让老师发现他的举动就不甘心似的，真是个怪人。

敢死队员3、4号：谈天说地型

这两位同学有些不把老师放在眼里了，边看书边聊天。我隐隐约约听见他们说冒险岛OL，说漫画内容，说小说，说娱乐咨询，就连老师和同学的目光扫向他们，也无济于事。

敢死队员5号：边学边看型

这位同学好像有些明白学习的重要性，看了几分钟的书，马上立起来听老师的讲课。课上一半时，老师为了扫查班上的敢死队，把同学们一个叫起一个问问题。这下可让这群敢死队员们开始惶恐不安了，他们连书都顾不着看呢。而这位队员呢，看一会儿就学学，这一招算是对他的MISS了。

敢死队员6号：理直气壮型

这位同学可是班上的霸王级分子了（注：别乱想，不是我啊），他可是一人之下，几十人之上，谁敢对他不敬，他的落雷马上就落在你头上了，（注：我已经欠了他3顿打了，要不是我能帮他弄电脑作业，我早就魂飞天了）因此每人敢告发他。不知是她的好运还是老师放水，他这样看了一堂课，竟然都没半点被批评，真太不公平了！！

谁知道，老师从天而降，为了抓住敢死分子，居然来个背后突袭，到所有座位后边地毯式搜索。5名敢死队员唰地一声，在同一时间内放下书，装起乖乖。只有敢死队员6号稳如泰山，而老师的目光明明瞄准了他，可老师却好像在放水一样，竟纵容他在自己眼皮子底下活动，真气死人了！而其他5位的敢死队员便无机可乘，只好乖乖停课，唯独6号占了便宜。

"Bumper harvest, bumper harvest!"!" Cried one of the fishermen, happily

jumping up like a child. After a while, the full cabin fish alive and kicking,

calm sea filled with coming from all sides of the fishermens

laughter.........

Now, like this "fish and shrimp full cabin" scene has been very rare. In

todays market, is the most common fish pound at least to dozens of yuan, more

serious pollution of the ocean, the ocean resources gradually dried up, seafood

production, prices rise, it illustrates this point?

In the ocean of natural calamities and man-made misfortunes emerge in an

endless stream today, human pollution is often not from the original intention,

but it is caused by the unexpected effect. The British Petroleum oil, because

the drilling platform explosion, caused by the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico,

to 9900 square kilometers of sea water is seriously polluted, so that tens of

thousands of seabirds soaked in oil to move, die in hunger and misery, makes

countless fish poisoning death; and the Japanese earthquake and tsunami

triggered a nuclear leak the marine pollution is more serious......

The sea is so vast that it is because the rivers and streams flow into the

Yangtze River and then run into the sea. If we do not solve the pollution

problem from the source, then no matter how people clean up the sea, there will

always be sewage flowing into the sea, and all the efforts will be futile. Now,

streams and streams are often seriously polluted, or they become places where

people dump rubbish or are loaded with pesticide cans. Finding a clear stream in

an inhabited area can be very difficult today!

In any case, the protection of the oceans can not be achieved by individual

forces, and the protection of the oceans depends on the joint efforts of all

mankind. I do not want one day in the future, our descendants can only imagine

the image of the vast and wide sea.

This is not only the wish of a pupil, but also the wish of all mankind,

isnt it?

Recently, “clearyour plate” campaign is more and more popular in society, which advocates saving against wasting. The campaign draws our attention to wasting on campus.Some students are noticed to throw away a lot of food in the canteen. As is often the case, some lights are still on with nobody in classrooms. What’s more, many a student spends much money buying unnecessary items. As far as Iam concerned, it’s high time that we fought against wasting. Here’re my suggestions. Firstly, I think our school should carry out various activities to arouse students’ awareness of saving. Secondly, relevant rules and regulations are supposed to be made to punish those who waste things. Most importantly, we should form the habit of saving from now. It is everybody’s duty to save resources.

Knowledge can be acquired from many sources. These include books, teachers

and practical experience, and each has its own advantages. The knowledge we gain

from books and formal education enables us to learn about things that we have no

opportunity to experience in daily life. We can study all the places in the

world and learn from people we will never meet in our lifetime, just by reading

about them in books. We can also develop our analytical skills and learn how to

view and interpret the world around us in different ways. Furthermore, we can

learn from the past by reading books. In this way, we won’t repeat the mistakes

of others and can build on their achievements.

Practical experience, on the other hand, can give us more useful knowledge.

It is said that one learns best by doing, and I believe that this is true,

whether one is successful or not. In fact, I think making mistakes is the best

way to learn. Moreover, if one wants to make new advances, it is necessary to

act. Innovations do not come about through reading but through experimentation.

Finally, one can apply the skills and insights gained through the study of books

to practical experience, making an already meaningful experience more

meaningful. However, unless it is applied to real experiences, book knowledge

remains theoretical and, in the end, is useless. That is why I believe that

knowledge gained from practical experience is more important than that acquired

from books.

Spring Festival is my favorite among all the Chinese traditional festival.

The first reason why I love it the most is because I can get lucky money on that

festival. It is the Chinese custom that the old will give children lucky money

on Spring Festival to wish a good luck for the young generation. Moreover,

people everywhere on those days are full of happiness. Quarrel, fight and abuse

are almost disappeared at that time. Meanwhile, my mother will make a big meal

for us to celebrate. Everyone will forget the unhappy thing they meet, instead

remembering to appreciate life to wish a better future. That is my favorite

festival.

Last week, our teacher gave us a task. We needed to interview some people

and collect different opinions. At first, I felt it a difficult task, because I

was such a shy person that I dared not to talk to strangers. In order to finish

the task, I cooperated with my classmates. They helped me to ask people for a

second, then I started to talk with them in a comfortable way. I felt much eased

soon and no longer felt shy. Now I get over my fear and become stronger. This is

the good sign of growing up. I am so thankful to my classmates. Without their

help, I wont go that far.

The first snow came. How beautiful it was, falling so silently all day

long, all night long, on the mountains, on the meadows, on the roofs of the

living, on the graves of the dead! All white save the river, that marked its

course by a winding black line across the landscape; and the leafless trees,

that against the leaden sky now revealed more fully the wonderful beauty and

intricacies of their branches. What silence, too, came with the snow, and what

seclusion! Every sound was muffled, every noise changed to something soft and

musical. No more tramping hoofs, no more rattling wheels! Only the chiming of

the sleigh-bells, beating as swift and merrily as the hearts of children.

Going to high school is my first time to leave home. I have to live in

school from Monday to Friday. I like to stay away from my parents for some time,

because I can make my own choice and be free to go anywhere. My friends and I

like to spend the weekend in the countryside that near the city we live. It is

the short travel that I can not only appreciate the beautiful scenery, but also

learn to be independent. The things that nature teaches me are a lot. I can see

from the color of the cloud to predict the weather and the sound of of animals

have different meanings. All of these are hard to know from the books. I have my

own thinking from these trips, and the way to take care of myself helps me to

grow up.
