总是很羡慕电视机里军人们站如松、坐如钟的飒爽英姿，以及那“流血流汗不流泪”的坚毅精神，想着自己是不是也能这样坚持呢？这不，机会终于来了。

一大早，我们学校七年级新生都换上了军训时穿的迷彩服，远远望去，就如同一幅巨大的油画。我当然也在其中，虽然表面看来，我十分淡定，但是只有我自己知道内心是如此的汹涌澎湃。我好像看到了一只独木船正在海面静静地向前航行，忽然，刮起了大风，巨大的海浪一个接着一个，如同成群的野兽，向独木船奔去。

想起哥哥说过的话，“你要小心点，我们军训的时候，教官十分严厉，动作稍微做得不到位，就要被罚！”想得正出神，老师便来带我们下楼参加典礼。我可以明显感觉到我的心脏里住着一头小鹿，它胡乱地撞着我的胸口，就差要跳出来了！

带领我们的是一位浓眉大眼的教官，眉宇间夹着一个深深的“川”字。他一脸严肃，在训练的时候，我没看到他脸上有过一丝笑容，眼睛睁得大大的，好似两个铜铃，怪可怕的。教官一本正经的模样使我胆怯起来，同时打起了十二万分的精神。

教官在教我们每一个动作前都会做一遍给我们看，那炯炯有神的眼睛，那干脆利落的动作，那挺拔如松的站姿，我能想到的只有一个字，那就是——帅！

刚开始我们做的动作一点儿都不整齐，经过教官一次又一次的纠正，我们一次又一次的努力，总算能像教官一样——站如杨树，蹲如雕塑。一个个挺拔的身影，洪亮的口号声久久回荡在篮球场上，这分明就是一个个军人在接受着人民的检阅啊！

一天的训练就在这热烈的气氛中结束了，每个人的脸上虽然都显得有些疲倦，但从一双双明亮的眼睛中，分明可以看出那巨大的成就感——那种无法言语的感觉！

Dear don: Hello!

Unknowingly, I came to class 3 of grade 2014 for more than a year. In one

year, I have known many children who have studied with me. As an excellent head

teacher, your careful care and tireless teaching are deeply imprinted in my

mind. For us, you would rather become a candle, burn yourself, and light our

bright future.

The growth of small trees is inseparable from rain and the care of the

gardener; the beautiful fragrance of flowers is inseparable from the soil and

the company of bees; our growth is inseparable from the teachers teaching. Mr.

Tang, every little bit of this year, I will never forget it!

In life, you are always so meticulous. In class, as long as there is a

classmate who is not comfortable, you will send him to the health care room.

When you come back, you will always ask "how is it? Is it better?" Lunch, you

also let all students eat meat, let us eat with health. These two points alone

are enough to show our love for us. In learning, you have always taught us

carefully. Every time you learn a word, you always ask us to read and memorize

hair step by step, and explain the meaning repeatedly. If we do something wrong,

you usually teach us as sternly as that, but I know that behind this sternness

lies the tenderness of a loving mother.

Mr. Tang, it is you who have cultivated countless national pillars with

your own sweat and youth, but you are so unknown. Finally, I want to say to you

loudly: "thank you, teacher!"

Looking forward to, looking forward to, and finally close to the steps of the New Year.

Look at the party. Just finished eating dumplings on New Years eve night, the whole family was eager to wait for the party, despite the party every year, but each time the party can be equally, crosstalk laughing, alternately, reveling in a wonderful song and amazed by the magic of air...

Set off firecrackers. This year New Years day, I bought a lot of firecrackers, on New Years eve the twelve o clock, I lit a big bunch of firecrackers, the New Years bell and firecrackers sounded at the same time, the scene is very spectacular. Be free and at leisure, but also can with brother put little match crackers. In the eyes of an adult is no meaning, but these firecrackers left a deep impression in our memory.

New Years day, the elder give money saving up to buy some things they need, feeling really good! This year, I also learned a new skill - making dumplings. Eat their package dumplings, very delicious!

New Years day is busy, but my sister told me: "years behind also with heavy responsibility, we are one year older again, for the life should be a more thinking." In the face of the New Year, how to adjust itself to the new self in the face of the New Year.

I think: this is the meaning of the New Years day!

盼望着，盼望着，新年的脚步终于近了。

春节是中华民族的传统节日，炎黄子孙历来都重视。离过年还有半个多月，大家便开始紧落密鼓的筹划准备。

在着生活节奏加快的时代里，亲人、朋友相聚一堂似乎很困难了，而过年正是天涯海角的游子与亲人团聚的大好时机。在外工作的友人也可以再次相聚，虽然我体会不到游子的心情，但过年时亲朋好友聚在一块玩，却也其乐无穷。

作为小孩子，当然最爱玩了，平日忙于学习，过年终于可以痛痛快快的放送了。你们不妨与我分享我得大年吧!

看晚会。除夕晚上刚吃完水饺，全家人便迫不及待的等待晚会的开始，尽管每年都有晚会，但每次晚会同样能够被小品、相声逗得捧腹大笑，时而陶醉于美妙的歌声中，时而惊叹于神气的魔术……

放鞭炮。今年过年，我买了许多鞭炮，除夕夜十二点整时，我点燃了一大串鞭炮，新年的钟声与鞭炮声同时响起，场面十分壮观。闲来无事，还可以与弟弟放些小擦炮。在大人眼中虽无意思，但这些鞭炮声在我们的记忆中留下了深刻的印象。

过年时，把长辈给的压岁钱攒起来，买些自己需要的东西，感觉真不错!今年，我还学会了一项新本事———包饺子。吃着自己包的饺子，真香!

过年是热闹的，但姐姐告诉我：“年的背后也寄托着厚重的责任，我们又长大了一岁，对于人生应该又多了一份思考。”面对新的一年，如何调整自己，以新的自我面对新的一年。

我想：这就是过年的意义吧!

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.

machine. They are already widely used in industries and in universities. They are used in many ways.

Computers can do many kinds of work. For example, computers can helps us do maths problems quickly. Some problems are too hard for us to work them out, but computers can. A scientist can ask computers some questions, and the computers can answer on the screen.

In a car-factory computer tells the robots how to do with the cars.

Computers are very useful. So many parents buy computers for their children. They hope computers can help them improve their studies in school, but some children don’t do as what parents want them to do. Because they used the computers for surfing on the Internet and spend too much time playing computer games instead of learning. It does not good for their eyesight. So their parents complain about computers not help children to study but also make them fall behind.

In many companies computers instead of workers to work. So many people lose their jobs. So many workers think computers bring them a lot of trouble.

If computers are good for us or bad for us it’s hard to say so I hope computers will be used in the right way.

My Spring Festival is special. My uncle and my aunt came back from Shanghai. My family were very happy to keep the Spring Festival with them. And it was the most exciting festival of all the festivals.

On New Year’s Eve, my father and my uncle talked about their work together. My mum did some cooking with my aunt Grandparents and I watched the New Year TV programmes. At about six o’clock, we had a special family dinner. We all thought the dumplings were delicious. examda.

On the first day of the New Year, we visited our relatives. In the afternoon, we went shopping in Jiefanf Road. My uncle bought some Jay’s CDs. He likes Jay’s music very much. There were so many people on the road. It was more alive than any other time of a year.

Whether sixty or sixteen, there is in every human beings heart the lure of

wonders, the unfailing childlike appetite of whats next and the joy of the game

of living. In the center of your heart and my heart there is a wireless station:

so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from

men and from the infinite, so long are you young.

An individual human existence should be like a river—small at first,

narrowly contained within its banks, and rushing passionately past boulders and

over waterfalls. Gradually the river grows wider, the banks recede, the waters

flow more quietly, and in the end, without any visible break, they become merged

in the sea, and painlessly lose their individual being.

Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, of the

appetite for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of

sixty more than a boy of twenty. Nobody grows old merely by a number of years.

We grow old by deserting our ideals.

Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.

Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.

Topic one：Environment Protection（环境保护）

Water Pollution

With the development of industry, water pollution is becoming more serious now. The polluted water not only kills fish, it is also harmful to our health. Many people get sick because they drink the polluted water. In some rivers the water is so dirty that they can even kill plants.

We should fight against the pollution. We should stop using harmful things. I wish it is not a dream that in the near future we can have clean rivers again.

Environment Protection

Nowadays, peoples life has changed a lot with the development of modern technology and economy, which has put lots of negative effects on the environment.

Why this? Because, firstly, some factories are pouring wastes into rivers, lakes, seas and so forth; secondly, because of human activities, a great number of plants and animals are losing their lives; thirdly, using modern machines and chemicals is bad for the environment. Besides these, there are a lot of human activities which have done or are doing harm to our surroundings.

For this, I think, first, our government should make drastic measures to regulate human activities; second, we human beings should take pains-taking work to stop ourselves destroying the environment and try our best to protect our living space more.

The spring festival is the day that the families get together.

It is usually in the February. At that day, every family will paste the lucky inscriptions, fire the cracker and eat the dumplings. The day before the new years first day is the new years eve, same as the Christmas eve, all the families get together to have the new years dinner, wish each other, talk about the wishes about the new year. I like that day very much, what about you ?

The Great Wall of China is called the "Ten thousand Ii Great Wall" in Chinese. In fact, it s more than 6 000 kilometres long. It winds its way from west to east, across deserts, over mountains, through valleys till at last it reaches the sea. It is one of the wonders of the world.

中国的长城被称为“一万号长城”在中国。事实上，这是超过6的000公里长的。它自西向东蜿蜒，穿过沙漠，越过高山，穿过峡谷，最后到达海洋。它是世界上的奇迹之一。

The Great Wall has a history of over twenty centuries. The first part of it was built during the Spring and Autumn Period. During the Warring States Period, more walls were put up to defend the borders of the different kingdoms. It was during the Qin Dynasty that the kingdom of Qin united the dif ferent parts into one empire. To keep the enemy out of his empire, Emperor Qin Shi Huang had all the walls joined up. Thus, the Great Wall came into being.

长城已有二十多年的历史。它的第一部分是建立在春秋时期。战国时期，提出保卫不同王国的边界被更多的墙。这是秦王朝的秦统一为一个帝国的不同部分中的王国。为了不让敌人进入自己的帝国，秦始皇把所有的城墙连接起来。因此，长城就形成了。

The Great Wall is wide enough at the top for five horses or ten men to walk side by side. Along the wall are watchtowers, where soldiers used to keep watch. Fires were lit on the the towers as a warning when the enemy came.

长城是足够宽，顶部五匹马或十个人并排而行。沿城墙有了望塔，过去常有士兵驻守。大火照亮在塔上作为一个警告当敌人来了。

It was very difficult to build such a wall in the ancient days without any modern machines. All the work was done by hand. Thousands of men died and were buried under the wall they built. The Great Wall was made not only of stone and earth, but of the flesh and blood of millions of men.

它是建立在这样一个壁无任何现代机器很难。所有工作都是用手完成。成千上万的人死了，被埋在自己修建的城墙下面。长城不仅是用石头和土，但对几百万人的血和肉。

Today the Great Wall has become a place of interest not only to the Chinese but to people from all over the world. Many of them have come to know the famous Chinese saying: "He who does not reach the Great Wall is not a true man."

今天，长城已成为地方利益不仅对中国而且对来自全世界各地的人。许多人都已知道这句中国名言：“不到长城非好汉。”

The Chinese New Year has a great history. In our past, people lived in an agricultural society and worked all year long. They only took a break after the harvest and before the planting of seeds. This happens to coincide with the beginning of the lunar New Year.

The Chinese New Year is very similar to the Western one, rich in traditions, folklores and rituals. It has been said that it is a combination of the Western Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year. This is hardly an exaggeration!

The origin of the Chinese New Year itself is centuries old - in fact, too old to actually be traced. It is popularly recognized as the Spring Festival and celebrations last 15 days.

Preparations tend to begin a month before the date of the Chinese New Year (similar to a Western Christmas). During this time people start buying presents, decoration materials, food and clothing. A huge clean-up gets underway days before the New Year, when Chinese houses are cleaned from top to bottom. This ritual is supposed to sweep away all traces of bad luck. Doors and windowpanes are often given a new coat of paint, usually red, then decorated with paper cuts and couplets with themes such as happiness, wealth and longevity printed on them.

The end of the New Year is marked by the Festival of Lanterns, which is a celebration with singing, dancing and lantern shows.

At the Festival, all traditions are honored. The predominant colors are red and gold. "Good Wish" banners are hung from the ceilings and walls. The "God of Fortune" is there to give Hong Baos. Lion dancers perform on stage continuously. Visitors take home plants and flowers symbolizing good luck. An array of New Years specialty food is available in the Food Market. Visitors purchase new clothing, shoes and pottery at the Market Fair. Bargaining for the best deal is commonplace!
