The first day of chickens, my interest is quite thick. I held the feed in my hand, and chicks scrambled for fear of catching food.

When it ran away, it began to eat one mouth and a mouth. After eating, the neck is planed with its claws. It is very satisfied. But other chicks do not want, Ji Ji Ji Ji is called a non-stop, protest. The roosters stared at them ferocious and rushed away, and the other chickens were scared away.

I stood in the yard and saw some black clouds coming over the horizon. I thought: its best not to rain at night, and dont wet the chicken.

Its raining, so its very scared, shivering all over, these silly chickens! I dont know how to take shelter from the rain, and its been raining all the time. I hastened them to a shelter from the rain and went back to sleep. The second day I get up and see, the chicken died one, I am very sad, I feel sorry for the chicken, it should be more careful to take care of the chicken. I buried the chicken in the soil with an apology.

My day as a chicken mother is over. I have to think for them every day and eat the chicken before I eat them. I feel very hard. I thought, for a few days the chicken is so tired, the mother put up our work as can be imagined. I have a sincere respect for my mother in my heart.

我们的寒假放假时间是从一月十六号截至到二月七日。我想每个人在这期间，都会去做很多的事。但是我没有这样。下面就让我来给大家讲讲我的寒假发生的事吧。

我花了很长的时间来做作业…，在寒假这段时间里，我每天起的都很晚。然后呢，我听录音机(tape),转眼到九点了。之后，我吃完早饭再花一整天的时间去做作业!其实我做的并不慢，只是家庭作业布置的太多了!

我在玩耍方面也显得十分倒霉。在我玩爆竹的时候，伤着了我的手指。我手拿着放爆竹的时候，太不小心了，所以显得很是倒霉(杯具变成了餐具现在很流行的一个词，杯具餐具-作文地带)。

在我与朋友聚餐时也相当倒霉。早上，我是想着早点起，可是等我睡醒时已经是10：50.十分钟后，聚会就要开始!于是我只吃了块面包就径直向朋友家跑去!在朋友家呆了很长的时间后，我回到家，我爸爸妈妈很生气并且还大骂我一顿。

我很担心我的体重，上学期，我体重是48KG，但是现在我已经涨到51KG了!我必须减肥了!

但是更为重要的是，我已经去过了上海海洋水族馆，我非常期待去那，因为在那我可以看到马、猴子……还有大海。现在我实现这个愿望了。这也是我这个寒假唯一的一个亮点。

今天是国庆节，我、爸爸妈妈、贝贝弟弟和好朋友晴晴还有晴晴的爸爸妈妈一起去山西美乐游乐园玩。我可高兴了。 一路上我们看见了许多高大洁白的大风车。啊，终于到达目的地了。可惜这时已经中午了，我们又去饭店吃饭了，吃完饭以后，就去游乐园了。进到游乐园，我们玩了摩天轮、大战鲨鱼岛、太空漫步、海盗船、激流勇进、阿拉伯飞毯等等等等。

我最喜欢玩的是：海盗船、激流勇进。我没坐海盗船的时候，我觉得没什么了不起的。可坐到海盗船上的时候，我有些担心，往上摇的时候我不算怕，可是下来的时候我的心都卡到嗓子眼上了，我们都大声的喊了出来，这样能缓解一些害怕。

我看着别人玩激流勇进的时候，心里很激动，可是又有点害怕，因为我害怕激流勇进和海盗船一样刺激。排了十几分钟的队，总算可以玩了。刚开始，我们坐在小船上，顺水往下飘，心里想：这有啥好玩的。不料，过了一会小船随着传送带上到了高处，随即像箭一样冲了下去，溅起了一米多高的浪花，弄得我满身是水。可是我的心里很高兴，真想再玩一次。 天渐渐黑了下来，我们要回家了，今天玩的既高兴又刺激。快乐国庆节！

Great, thats great! At last I was looking forward to the holiday of national day. I can always relax and relax. My parents and I had an early appointment to travel by train during the national day. On this day, I got up early, and when everything was ready, my family set out. When we arrived at the square in front of the train station, it was already a sea of people, and we were crowding the railway station with the endless stream of people.

Into the waiting hall, here is a racket, crowded, we managed to find a space to sit down, I drink slobber, rest for a while, restless eyes began to look around. Not far away, a pair of silver - haired old couple helped each other, slowly sitting on their seats and talking in a small voice. On the other side, a few middle school students were laughing loudly. A tour guide, holding a small flag, is talking to the tourists of the tour group... "Why?" Suddenly, a sound of childish sound attracted me, I looked back, a chubby little girl sat on her mothers lap, "why together and we cant go out and play dad?" The little girl innocent eyes full of doubts, long eyelashes glitter, mother lovingly stroked the girls head, said softly: "your father is a traffic policeman, in order to ensure the safe travel, to the holidays will be more busy, can not go out to play with us." The little girl Sidongfeidong nodded, nestled in her mothers arms. I listened quietly, eyes unconsciously fall in the busy distance from time to time flashed, cleaners are carefully clean the ground, wiping tables and chairs, the policeman is patrols, warily watching the situation around the station staff smiling, patiently answer questions of passengers. It is their hard work that makes our trip safer and more convenient.

This picture, I have been deeply remember in the heart, when we celebrate the holiday with my family, we have to wonder whether this happy, how many people need to work to pay, and the family when we have a joyous gathering, to wonder whether and how many people still insist on work, not and your family reunion? These honorable men, let me say, "thank you!"

太好了，太好了！我终于盼来了国庆节长假，总算可以放松放松了，我和爸爸妈妈早就约好了国庆节期间坐火车去外地旅游。到了这一天，我早早地起了床，一切准备就绪后，我们全家出发了。到达火车站前广场时，那里早已是人山人海，我们随着川流不息的人群挤进了火车站。

走进候车大厅，这里更是人声鼎沸，热闹非凡，我们好不容易才找到空位坐了下来，我喝了口水，休息了一会儿，眼睛开始不安分地四处打量起来。不远处，一对满头银发的老夫妻互相搀扶着，慢慢地坐到座位上，小声地交谈着。另一边，几名中学生在大声地说笑着。一位导游举着小旗子，正在向旅行团的游客们说着什么……。“为什么？”突然，一声稚嫩的童音吸引了我，我回头一看，一个胖乎乎的小女孩儿坐在妈妈腿上，“为什么爸爸不能和我们一起出去玩而呢？”小女孩儿天真无邪的大眼睛充满了疑惑，长长的睫毛忽闪着，妈妈爱怜地抚摸着小女孩儿的头，轻声说道：“你爸爸是一名交通警察，为了保证大家的出行安全，到了节假日会更加忙碌，就不能陪咱们出去玩儿了。”小女孩儿似懂非懂地点点头，依偎在妈妈的怀里。我静静地听着，目光不觉落在了远处不时闪现的忙碌的身影上，清洁工人正在仔细认真地打扫地面，擦拭桌椅，警察叔叔正在四处巡逻，警惕地注视着四周的情况，车站服务人员面带微笑，耐心地解答着旅客的疑问。正是他们的辛勤工作，使我们的出行更加安全、便捷。

这一幅幅画面，都被我深深地牢记在心中，当我们和家人一起欢度国庆假期时，是否想过，我们拥有的这份快乐，需要多少人为之工作，为之付出，当我们和家人欢聚一堂时，是否想过，又有多少人还要坚持工作，不能和家人团圆呢？这些可敬的人啊，让我真诚地说一声：“谢谢您们！”

范文：

Post-holiday Syndrome Among Students

With the gloomy prospect of returning to school, many students could suffer from post-holiday syndrome, which refers to a general feeling of depression before returning to campus life, which is caused by irregular lifestyles during the holiday. Symptoms include fatigue, lack of appetite and concentration, irritability and a feeling of helplessness.

Various reasons can account for it. But most important of all, a large number of students tend to overindulge themselves in eating, merrymaking and playing around during the holidays, which makes it difficult to adjust to their routine study schedule and life pace on the campus.

My suggestions to deal with this syndrome are as follows. First, exercising and sticking to a normal schedule over the holidays will make a difference and nip post-holiday syndrome in the bud. Besides, it pays to return a few days earlier before the semester starts. The early return seems to have kept the holiday blues at bay.

i spent this summer vacation in quite a different way. i used to run about every day in previous  summer vacations， but this summer vacation i simply could not afford to do so. i would soon be in the last year of my high-school education and would after graduation be up against the college entrance examinations. though those examinations were still a year away， i had to start early to make myself well prepared by reviewing all those things i had learned at school and this summer vacation was the ideal time for me to do this. at first i was rather dismayed at the thought of this， but later i thought it was better this way because by working hard this summer i could count on  endless happy summers to e. with this in mind i then set to work like anything and only occasionally went out for a change or did some physical. i was not at all bored by this kind of life， for i was sustained by a hope.
