Dont eat too much because it will make you uncomfortable and fat. Dont spend too much time watching TV, DVDs and Videos or using computers. Its good to take more exercise such as basketball, bike riding , swimming and so on. Follow these and you can be healthy.

我认为我们每天都应该有健康的饮食,吃适当的食物。我们不应该吃垃圾食品,因为它对我们的健康有害。尽可能多的喝水和牛奶。牛奶是一种伟大的饮料,可以给我们更多的钙,使我们的骨骼更强。

不要吃太多,因为它会让你不舒服和脂肪。别花太多时间看电视、dvd和视频或者使用电脑。很好多加锻炼,如篮球、骑自行车、游泳等等。遵循这些,你可以很健康。

今年的“五一”假期，我是在新加坡和马来西亚度过的。新加坡和马来西亚的景色虽然都非常的好看，但令我最难忘的还是在新加坡的一个晚上。在这个晚上，我在圣陶沙公园，观看了一场精彩的音乐喷泉表演。

大家是不是都知道新加坡的鱼尾狮?鱼尾狮是新加坡的标志，一共有三座鱼尾狮雕塑;这几座鱼尾狮都是由狮头和鱼身组成的。它们有一个在新加坡的市中心;有一个在新加坡最高的山上;还有一个在新加坡的圣陶沙。其中最好看、最令我难忘的还是圣陶沙的那座鱼尾狮。

5月5日的晚上，我们早早地就来到了圣陶沙公园，观赏这里的鱼尾狮，也在这里等候着音乐喷泉演出的开始。等了一段时间，演出终于开始了。首先出场的是一位“小丑”，他手拿指挥棒，很像一位指挥家。哎，还真没说错，他就是这场音乐喷泉演出的指挥家。他的手一摇，喷泉就跟着他的手型喷水;要是他两只手都在动，所有的喷泉都一起喷水，彩色的灯光照在喷泉上，五颜六色的水柱，真是好看极了!

在这场音乐喷泉演出里，音乐时高时低，时快时慢;有时是流行歌曲的节奏，有时是经典的古老歌曲的声调，真是好听极了!喷泉也随着这动听的音乐翩翩起舞了。

“哇”，此时，全场传来一阵惊讶声，原来是水幕电影开始了。我从小一直到现在从来没有看过水幕电影，这还是我第一次看呢!水幕电影就是把水喷成像一块屏幕，然后再把动画投影上去，这就叫水幕电影了。这场水幕电影里的主要人物是一只又淘气，又可爱的小猴子，叫“keykey”，它欢蹦乱跳的邀请了“小丑指挥家”去跟它一起玩，没想到的是，水幕电影里还真出现了“小丑指挥家”的样子，真是太神奇了!我知道是投影的，但是水为什么真的被溅起了呢?哎，搞不懂……

时间就这样不知不觉的过去了，这场精彩的演出在美妙、动听的音乐声中结束了。虽然这场音乐喷泉的表演时间很短，只有25分钟，但却给我留下了深刻的印象。

这个晚上让我非常难忘，它对我来说是非常的具有纪念意义，因为这是我第一次出国旅游，也是在这次新马旅游中过得最开心的一个晚上，还是我第一次在这美好的夜晚观看我出生以来从来没看过的水幕电影!

“When I was young, I’d listen to the radio….” I heard a beautiful song called “Yesterday Once More”. I really want the past to come back like it does in the song.

When I was a little girl, I was very happy. I could watch TV. Every day, I watched cartoons. They were very interesting. I could play many games with my friends. We often flew kites and climbed the hills. I also could cry loudly and laugh happily. Life was free and easy. I didn’t worry about my lessons and there was nothing unpleasant.

But they have all gone. Now I’m in Grade Three. I have lots of trouble. I have a lot of homework to do. I have no time to play or watch TV! I have to spend a lot of time on subjects. I must try my best to study well. I really feel very tired. I want to sleep all day, but I know that no pains, no gains.

“It’s yesterday once more. Looking back, every sha la, la, la, every wo, wo, still shines….”

Remember the day when I first came to the college. Being a boy of 17, I was longing for a new life as a college student; but, at the same time, I had no idea what college life would be like.

That morning when the bus carried me to the gate of the college. I was so excited that my heart was beating very fast as if it would leap out of my mouth. From now on, I would be a student of this college. After registration, we were led by an instructor to the dormitory, where, for the first time, we were going to live without parents but roommates. I was so clumsy that I did not know how to make the bed and fix the mosquito net.

In the afternoon, I took a walk around the campus together with my roommates. To think of studying in such a beautiful place made me feel quite proud of myself. As we were walking along, talking and laughing, a voice came into our ears, "Oh, look at these freshmen!" It was our middle-school-students looking that gave us away. We continued our tour of the college, inspecting every building and every garden until the sun began to set.

In the evening, we sat together, talking about the past and the future. We were so excited that no one wanted to go to bed.

Mother was out today. It was a good chance to complete the assignment. Seeing the barrel was empty, I decided to fetch water from the well.

I took the empty barrel and went towards the well outside the yard. It snowed yesterday, so the alley was very slippery. A layer of thickice was frozen on the platform of the well. I was frightened by the sight, but I gathered my courage to walk towards it.

The alley was so slippery that I walked with difficultly. Suddenly, I slipped and fell down, water in the barrel totally poured down on the ground. I stepped on the platform carefully. After standing steadily and squatting down slowly, I hooked the barrel at the end of the rope and put the rope down slowly. I made an effort to drag the barrel up after it was filled with water. I was very careful because it was easy to slip and fall. Then, I carried the barrel of water and returned to my house. My figners were frozen stiff. I realized my effort was in vain. I hated myself.

My Happy Times During Winter Vacation

I often go to see my grandma and grandpa during winter vacation. They are both seventy years old and live in the country happily. I can do many interesting things there. I am used to getting up early in the morning and breathing the fresh air in the countryside. After snow, I would like to skate and ski with my friends. When night comes, I am used to sitting by the fire and listening to grandma telling me many funny stories. And I tell her some new things happening in the city. When I have to go back, I am always reluctant to go. I really feel happy living in the country.

Our environment is very important for our lives 。 We need the fresh air， the clean water and so on 。 In the past， there were many trees around us ，the air was fresh and the river was clean。But now，people cut down many trees。 Air pollution and water polloution are very serious 。 The environment around us bees very terrible 。 We should protect our environment。 First， we should plant many trees to keep water。 Second ， we can ride a bike or walk to the school and work。。 Third ， we shouldn’t throw the dirty water into the river 。 Fourth， we shouldn’t use the plastic bags。 Finally， we can ask more people to join us。

From the sixteenth of January to the seventh of February is our Winter Holiday. I think everybody did a lot of things in the Winter Holiday. But I didn’t. Let you to listen to my story of Winter Holiday.

I spend a lot of time on the homework.. Every day in my Winter Holiday, I always got up late. then I listened to the tape, it was nine o’clock. then I ate breakfast and then I did my homework during the daytime! I’m not very slow but the homework was too heavy!

I’m unlucky on the playing too. I played firecracker but I hurt my finger with the fire. I ‘m careless to kindle the firecracker, so I’m very unlucky.

I still unlucky on my friend’s party. In the morning, I wanted to get up early but I woke up at 10:50. After ten minutes, the party would start! So I only eat a piece of bread then I go to my friend’s home! And I stay at his home for a long time when I came home. My mother and father were very angry and they scolded me!

I’m worried and feel unlucky on my weigh. Last term, I was 48 kilogram but now I am 51 kilogram! I must to do banting!

But most important, I have gone to Shanghai Ocean Aquarium, I want to go there very much because I want to see the horse, the monkey……in the sea. Now I’ve done it . It is a bright dot in my Winter Holiday.

Do you want to know what I did during the winter vacation? Well, on the first week, I did my homework,surfed the Internet,played computer games and watched TV.

On the second week, I helped my parents with housework, so I did the dishes, washed lots of my parents` clothes and helped them take out the trash.

On the third week, I chatted with my girl friend on cell phone(手机) and we both had a good time.I had a happy winter holiday! So how about you?

Today, our teacher told us a story on the newspaper. She told us that there was a famous university student whose family is very poor and faraway, but he studied very hard and then went to the big city for study. One day, his mother brought some homemade food to him. But he thought his mother will let him lose face, so he pretended he didnt know his mother. I felt ashamed for him and felt ridiculous about the face problem. Its meaningless. People should lay down their face, live the way they are, dont live in others eyes. Just be yourself, you will be happier.

今天，我们老师给我们讲了一个报纸上的故事。她告诉我们，有一个名牌大学的学生的家庭很穷，也很偏远，但他学习很努力，之后他就去了大城市学习。有一天，他的母亲给他带来一些自己家做的食物。他却认为他的母亲会让他丢脸，所以他假装不认识他的母亲。我为他感到很羞愧，也觉得这面子问题真的很可笑。毫无意义!人们应该放下面子，活出自我，不要活在别人的眼里。做你自己，你会更快乐的。

Ladies and gentlemen,

I feel it a great honor to have a chance to give a speech here, talking

about the haze weather, which causes lots of bad effects on our health and life.

We breathe polluted air, making us suffer from lung and liver diseases. Besides,

because of it, the flights have to be canceled. All kind of transports may run

into each other, resulting in much damages and lots of injuries.

As far as I am concerned, it is high time that we did something. As

individuals, we should ride the underground or buses instead of cars to reduce

carbon dioxide. As government, more measures should be taken by carrying out the

related law on pollution.

In summary, we’re all looking forward to breathe fresher air and live a

happier life. Everyone should be a part of this job.

Thank you for your listening.

Environmental pollution is a serious social problem. It poses a terrible threat to men’s health.

The atmosphere is filthy. The air is thick with dust and burnt oil. Dark smokes are being emitted from chimneys, and choking fumes are being released from numerous vehicles. Stay a little while in a big city, then wipe your forehead with your handkerchief, it is black. Hang out your washing on the line to dry, you will have to wash again. Garbage is left to accumulate in unsanitary heaps that attract flies and give off bad smell.

Nor is the pollution confined to air and land. Large quantity of sewage and chemical waste are dumped daily into rivers, lakes and the sea, which kills millions of fish. Noises coming from honking cars, rumbling machines and broadcasting loudspeakers may make a person nervous and irritable, even drive him crazy.

Environmental pollution is responsible for many diseases that are disabling, or bringing death to human beings.

In short, let’s take good care of our mother globe, not only for the well-being of ourselves, but also for that of our future generations.

环境污染是一个严重的社会问题。这带来了一个可怕的威胁男性健康。

大气是肮脏的。这里的空气灰尘和烧油。黑烟正从烟囱排放,和令人窒息的烟雾释放大量的车辆。在大城市呆一会儿,然后与你的手帕,擦擦额头是黑色的。你洗好的衣服晾在绳子上晾干,你要洗了。垃圾留给积聚在不卫生的堆,吸引苍蝇和散发难闻的气味。

并不局限于空气的污染和土地。每天大量的污水和化学废物倾倒入河流、湖泊和海洋,杀死了成千上万的鱼。来自汽车鸣笛的声音,隆隆的机器和广播喇叭可能让人不安和急躁,甚至把他逼疯。

环境污染负责禁用的许多疾病,或使人类死亡。

简而言之,让我们好好照顾我们的母亲地球,不仅对我们自己的福祉,也为我们的子孙后代。

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.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.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.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.

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."
