+ 加入清单For the first time in everyones experience! For example: the first time to
ride a bicycle, write a book, play a computer for the first time, keep a dog for
the first time, etc! And my first time is climbing!
On a sunny holiday, our family unanimously decided to take exercise -
climbing Maanshan! Maanshan ecological park is located in the south of Yangwu
village, Daling mountain. The main peak is 329.2 meters above sea level. It is
divided into two small peaks at the front and back. It is named Maanshan because
of its shape similar to Maanshan. It used to be a quarry. All the stones mined
were transported to all parts of the city as building materials, bringing
considerable economic benefits to the local area and seriously damaging the
ecological environment. In order to build a civilized, harmonious and ecological
home, the village committee decided to close the quarry and invest 5 million
yuan to build it into an ecological park. Now there are Jinling, Qixingling,
Jiti stone, Qilin mountain and other scenic spots. When I came to the foot of
Maanshan, I stared at the top of Maanshan stupidly. In my mind, I thought of the
complacent expression of climbing to the mountain. After that, I cant wait to
follow the route to the top of the mountain!
At first, I was a living tiger, just like a hungry tiger, flying to the top
of the mountain! The road is getting steeper and steeper, and the fork road runs
across. Its half the way to the top of the mountain. After a long time, the
physical strength is naturally consumed and the knowledge is not much. Im
sweating!! Seeing thousands of houses, cars and pedestrians under my feet, I
secretly encouraged myself: there is still a little way to go, stick to it, and
soon climb to the top of the mountain, dont be discouraged, learn to stick to it
on this road! Only persistence can make people succeed! Time flows silently on
me. I climb to the top of the mountain. I am ecstatic and rush forward in one
breath. Finally climbed to the top of the mountain! Ah! The scenery at the top
of the mountain is so intoxicating and impressive!
As if everything under my feet is my world! The whole village can be seen
clearly. I learned a truth from it, that is: in life, whether it is laid-off, or
encountered difficulties, or be fired and so on. Dont be discouraged. As a human
being, we should learn not to be discouraged in the face of difficulties. In all
kinds of tests of life, just like climbing a mountain, we cant give up halfway,
as long as we stick to it, we will succeed!

+ 加入清单Take a cup of tea and fetch a book, the house is full of Aton Johns
vicissitudes of singing, calm down and enjoy this rare leisure time.
Heavy heat from the fragrant tea, flicking my cheeks, itchy, but I cant
take care of it, because I was devoted to the book...
The book has a different position in everyones heart. People who have a
desire for knowledge think that the book is a dinner, especially needed; for
some people who are busy with work, it is a pack of snacks. Some energy...
The book is a snack type in my mind. It is for my entertainment. Of course,
I can supplement and broaden my knowledge while I am busy. It made me appreciate
Qin Wenjuns humor, Guo Jingmings romance, and Zhang Xiaoxians faint sorrow. The
book gives me a huge vocabulary and gives me a deeper understanding of
literature: literature is not the boring articles in "textbooks". Literature can
be funny and humorous, literature can be romantic and beautiful, and literature
can also be pretentious.
From the thin "good children" in childhood to the thick "junior literature
and art", from the interesting "Andersens fairy tale" to the endless aftertaste
of "The Dream of the Red Chamber", I also understand the value of various books.
After reading some campus novels, I feel that there is a lot of excitement.
After a few months, I basically have no impression. But classical literature can
not only increase your literary culture, but also learn some incomprehensible
ancient poetry. Wouldn’t it be fun?

drowned (溺死) on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month in 277 B.C. Chinese

篇15:初一暑假英语

+ 加入清单what! The summer vacation goes by so fast, fifty days will pass in a blink
of an eye. During this summer vacation, I spent most of the time playing
basketball. Sometimes I go swimming with my friends. Sometimes play with small
cards. If I was alone, I would ride a bicycle for a ride around, or watch TV, or
go online to find a classmate I miss, chatting, bickering, and solving the pain
of missing. There are many, many programs to play, but my favorite is still
playing basketball.
During this summer vacation, my mother signed me up for a basketball class,
so that I could keep fit and keep my body in good shape. At the same time, I
also want to find my own fun and hobbies. Make this summer a little more
fulfilling.
When I first started learning, I could not learn the basic skills given by
the coach. Even sometimes the coach has already taught me hands-on, and I still
dont understand. Just when I lost my confidence and was about to give up, the
coach came to me and said, "It doesnt matter, whoever learns skills will not go
through a little setback and will be smooth sailing? Who has an amazing talent,
one step to the sky? Dont you rely on the accumulation of bit by bit to make
the same movement well? As long as there is perseverance, the iron pillar will
be ground into a needle!"
After listening to what the coach said, I was at a loss. Begin to practice
hard: I practice pitching on the court while the coach calls everyone to rest.
The coach said that when school was over, I practiced three-step layups on the
court and didnt leave until my family came to tell me. I also often share my
experience with my classmates...
As the saying goes, hard work pays off, and my hard work is not in vain -
now, my basketball skills have improved by leaps and bounds, and I dont only
know a little bit like before. And my physique has also improved, I wont run
out of breath after running 400 meters like before - playing basketball is happy
and healthy!
This summer vacation is happy and fulfilling, and I look forward to the
next summer vacation coming soon!

篇20:关于元宵节英语
全文共 6620 字
+ 加入清单There are many different beliefs about the origin of the Lantern Festival.
But one thing for sure is that it had something to do with celebrating and
cultivating positive relationship between people, families, nature and the
higher beings they believed were responsible for bringing/returning the light
each year.
One legend tells us that it was a time to worship Taiyi, the God of Heaven
in ancient times. The belief was that the God of Heaven controlled the destiny
of the human world. He had sixteen dragons at his beck and call and he decided
when to inflict drought, storms, famine or pestilence upon human beings.
Beginning with Qinshihuang, the first emperor to unite the country, all the
emperors ordered splendid ceremonies each year. The emperor would ask Taiyi to
bring favorable weather and good health to him and his people. Emperor Wudi of
the Han Dynasty directed special attention to this event. In 104 BC, he
proclaimed it as one of the most important celebrations and the ceremony would
last throughout the night. They clean it all up in the morning.
Another legend associates the Lantern Festival with Taoism. Tianguan is the
Taoist god responsible for good fortune. His birthday falls on the 15th day of
the first lunar month. It is said that Tianguan likes all types of
entertainment, so followers prepare various kinds of activities during which
they pray for good fortune.
Yet another common legend dealing with the origins of the Lantern Festival
speaks of a beautiful bird that flew down to earth from heaven, which was hunted
and killed by some villagers. This angered the Jade Emperor in Heaven because
the bird was his favorite one. Therefore, he planned a storm of fire to destroy
the village on the 15th lunar day. The Jade Emperors daughter heard of this
plan, and warned the villagers of her father’s plan to destroy their village.
The village was in turmoil because nobody knew how should they escape their
imminent destruction.
However, a wise man from another village suggested that every family should
hang red lanterns around their houses, set up bonfires on the streets, and
explode firecrackers on the 14th, 15th, and 16th lunar days. This would give the
village the appearance of being on fire to the Jade Emperor. On the 15th lunar
day, troops sent down from heaven whose mission was to destroy the village saw
that the village was already ablaze, and returned to heaven to report to the
Jade Emperor. Satisfied, the Jade Emperor decided not to burn down the village.
From that day on, people celebrate the anniversary on the 15th lunar day every
year by carrying red lanterns on the streets and exploding firecrackers and
fireworks.
There are many stories on how this festival was created. One other story is
about a maid. In the Han Dynasty, Mr. Eastern was a favorite advisor of the
emperor. One winter day, he went to the garden and heard a little girl crying
and getting ready to jump into a well to commit suicide. Mr. Eastern stopped her
and asked why. She said she was a maid in the emperors palace and her name was
Yuan-Xiao.
She never had the chance to meet her family after she started worked at the
palace. She missed them so much every 12th lunar month. If she couldnt have the
chance to show her filial piety in this life, she would rather die. Mr. Eastern
promised her to find a way so she could reunion with her family. Mr. Eastern
left the palace and set up a fortune-telling stall on the street and disguised
himself as a fortuneteller. Because of his reputation, many people asked for
their fortunes.
But every one got the same prediction - a severe fire accident on the 15th
lunar day. The rumor spread quickly. Everyone was worried about the future and
asked Mr. Eastern for help. Mr. Eastern said, "On the 13th lunar day, the God of
Fire will send a fairy lady in red to burn down the city. If you see a lady in
red wearing green pants riding a black horse on that day, you should ask for her
mercy." On that day, Yuan-Xiao pretended to be the red fairy lady. When people
asked for her help, she said, "Im the messenger of the God of Fire and came to
check on the city and Im going to set up fire on 15th. This is an order from
Jade Emperor. He will watch from the heavens.
I will give you a copy of the imperial decree from the God of Fire. You
should go to ask your emperor to find a way out." After she left, people went to
the palace to show the emperor the decree which reads "The capital city is in
trouble. Fire burns on the palace, and fire from Heaven burns all night long on
the 15th." The emperor of Han Dynasty was very shocked. He called and asked Mr.
Eastern for advice. After pondering for a while, Mr. Eastern said, "I heard that
the God of Fire likes to eat Tang-Yuan (Sweet dumpling). Does Yuan-Xiao often
cook Tang-Yuan for you? On the 15th lunar day, let Yuan-Xiao make Tang-Yuan.
Your Majesty will take charge of the worshipping ceremony and you will give
an order to every house to prepare Tang-Yuan to worship the God of Fire at the
same time. Also, deliver another order to ask every house in the city to hang
red lantern and explode fire crackers. Lastly, everyone in the palace and people
outside the city should carry their lanterns on the street to watch the lantern
decoration and fireworks. If everything goes this way, the Jade Emperor would be
deceived.
Then everyone can avoid the fire accident." The emperor happily followed
the plan. Lanterns were everywhere in the capital city on the night of the 15th
lunar day. People were walking on the street. Fire crackers kept making lots of
noise. It looked like the entire city was on fire. Yuan-Xiaos parents went into
the palace to watch the lantern decorations, and Yuan-Xiao made a big lantern
and wrote her name on the lantern. They happily reunited together after her
parents called her name. Everybody was safe during the night. The emperor of Han
Dynasty had a new order that people should do the same thing every year. Since
Yuan-Xiao cooked the best Tan-Yuan, people called the day Yuan-Xiao
Festival.
Young people were chaperoned in the streets in hopes of finding love.
Matchmakers acted busily in hopes of pairing couples. The brightest lanterns
were symbolic of good luck and hope. As time has passed, the festival no longer
has such implications.
Those who do not carry lanterns often enjoy watching informal lantern
parades. In addition to eating tangyuan (simplified Chinese: 汤圆; traditional
Chinese: 湯圓; pinyin: tāngyuán), another popular activity at this festival is
guessing lantern riddles (which became part of the festival during the Tang
Dynasty), which often contain messages of good fortune, family reunion, abundant
harvest, prosperity and love.
