With the rapid development of our society, more and more people are fond of

online shopping for its convenience. Online shopping has been a heated fashion.

But different people have different views on this point. After all, every coin

has two sides.

Online shopping has advantages as well as disadvantages. Firstly, nowadays,

the Internet has become a must. As convenient as it is, people depend on online

shopping as it caters for those who are busy with work or other things. And it

can help us save much money, which is cheaper than what we buy in the physical

store. What’s more, it contributes the Internet to the further development.

However, it is also a risk of online shopping as we pay the bill online by

our credit cards, we may be cheated by the dishonest shoppers. Sometimes the

quality of what we buy online is much worse than we could imagine.

In my opinion, when we are shopping online, we should keep wise to prevent

us from treating. And we’ll find that online shopping has advantages over

disadvantages.

A Present For Mother’s Birthday

Everyone should give his mother a present when his mother’s birthday is coming. It is 25th May Sunday. Today is Han Mei’s mother’s birthday. So she wanted to give her mother a special present. What present should she give? Maybe a bunch of flowers a birthday card are the best presents. A card is cheaper. But it is bad for trees. The more I buy cards, the more trees will be cut by people. So what another present should she give? Let me tell you this present.

It was five o’clock. It was time to surprise her mother. When Han Mei’s mother came home, Han Mei said Happy Birthday to her mother. Then she cleaned her mother’s feet. As you can see, her mother was very surprise.

Why do you think it was a good present?

You know? Is tired, happy, is happy, because today I have a good spirit in class.

In the afternoon, I was very happy to answer the question, the teacher was very happy to boast of me. For a moment, when I was in math class, I was active. My teacher didnt call me. I was very angry. I would be very angry when I arrived in the afternoon. In the 3 or 4 class, I would answer the teachers questions in Chinese, math and Chinese classes. The "bell" class, we rushed out of the classroom, "bell" class, math class, the last section about the problem, I did not finish, I am afraid, the teacher said to take the book, 3 and 12 teacher said that a problem, I raised my hand and said the problem, the teacher praised me. I came home and I told my mother that my mother was happy.

Last night, I watched a tennis game, it was the US open, because there was

a Chinese female player came to the semi-final, so I stayed up to watched the

game. Unluckily, she was injured twice, though she still wanted to finish the

game, her body situation did not allow her to do so. Her insistence moved so

many audience, they gave her the biggest applause.

The power of insistence is great, it will help you set free your potential

and keep move on. Just for the players, they will face all kinds of incidences

now and then, but the will to insist will make them finish the game. Sometimes,

people win the game not because of their excellent skills, but their strong

will. Those who can stick on to the final line will win people’s applause.

What’s more, when people insist to finish the game, it is the respect that

they show to their opponents. Their spirit deserves people’s applause.

Insistence is a merit, we should keep it, no matter what we do, we must remember

to insist.

With the development of the internet and the popularization of computers, shopping on the internet has become a commonplace in our life. here consumers can buy almost everything they need.

Shopping on the internet has a lot of advantages, of which the most important is perhaps its convenience. people dont have to waste a lot of their energy and precious time to go from one shop to another to choose the commodities they like. this is especially desirable to the old, the sick and the busy people who cannot go to the shops in person. the goods come in all shapes, sizes and colors on the internet. all they need to do is to sit in front of their computers and click the mouses. the commodities they order will be delivered to them promptly.

However, shopping on the internet also has its disadvantages. the first disadvantage is that the consumers cant see the goods or try them on personally. sometimes, the real goods may not be the same as what they have seen on the computer. the second disadvantage is that some shops on the internet are not registered. they will never deliver anything to you after they get the money from you. once cheated, you will find that you have nowhere to go to complain.

In modern society, pressure is ubiquitous. As students, we have to endure

the pressure from examination, from homework and from our parents’

expectations.As workers, people are faced with the pressure from deadline, from

difficulties and from finance and so on. Here I would like to give some

suggestions about relieving pressure.

First of all, to confide to others is an efficient way for relieving

pressure. When we feel so anxious and worried that we cannot continue to work or

study, go to talk with our friends or family members and we will get some relief

and feel better. Second, to do some exercises is another way to relieve

pressure. If we are under pressure for a long time, doing some exercises can

make us refreshed and regain power to continue our task. Finally, another common

way for women to relieve pressure is to cry. The effect of crying is the similar

as the effect of confiding to others. After crying, we would find that we are

relaxed and then we have spirit to fight against difficulties again.

In a word, there are many ways to relieve our pressure. But the most

important point is that if we cannot solve the problem at once, we need to call

off our attention from the pressure we are faced with to other things. Only in

this way we would not be entangled with the pressure for a long time.

Looking forward to the stars, looking forward to the moon, and finally to the new years day, I am happy! That kind of feeling, strange, like eating honey, is simply indescribable in language.

Early morning, my mother called me up, I rubbed my eyes: "what are you doing? So call me so early? " Mother said, "today is your grandfathers birthday, we have to go faster." I reluctantly dressed, washed and finished, and my mother pulled me around. I felt like I was running so fast for the first time in my life. My mother was still running, saying, "hurry up, hurry up, the car is leaving." Walking on the street, the streets are gray. Because the streets are deserted in the morning and no shop opens, they cant see that today is new years day. There is no doubt about the atmosphere of new years day.

In the country, a lot of fog, everywhere there is the sound of firecrackers, the way people are gathered together, talk about their home in the new years Day is to kill a few pigs, slaughter a few sheep, and buy what new things, everyone put on new clothes, filled with a smile. In the face, giving a feeling of children bursting with happiness, have also come out, with new toys, their families run around here and there, in the run between, to the club to candy, to Hezekiah to drink, no one to blame them, because this is after all new years Day!

However, I am not interested in this, because I still miss me >warm quilt!

On the morning of new years day, I opened my eyes with the sound of a firecracker. Open the calendar, open a new year, open a wonderful story. I l

Parents fostered a seedling - that is what we are. In the storm, they like a big umbrella, zhefengdangyu for us, do their best to protect us, we must learn to Thanksgiving our parents.

As the saying goes, the fathers day, mother earth. Yeah! Is you give us enough nutrition; Is you give us sufficient moisture. Is you give us abundant sunshine; Give us enough oxygen. It is our great parents.

The ancient Confucius, mencius and Lao tze which are know Thanksgiving will big achievements in return for their parents. With parents only have we, no parents we come from?

父母培养了一颗幼苗——那就是我们。在暴风雨中，他们像一把大伞一样为我们遮风挡雨，尽自己的全力保护我们，我们一定要学感恩自己的父母。

俗话说，父是天，母是地。是啊!是你们给我们充足的营养;是你们给我们充足水分;是你们给我们充足的阳光;给我们充足的氧气。那就是我们伟大的父母。

感恩是中华民族传统的美德。知道感恩你就会迈向成功的道路，知道感恩你的灵魂就变得更加丰富，知道感恩你的人生会更加美满、幸福。感恩不是说一句话就可以了，它是靠你自己的努力才可以获得的。古代的孔子、孟子与老子哪个都是知道感恩才会成就大事业来回报父母的。有了父母才有我们，没有父母我们从哪里来?

别人要问我怎样报答父母?我会对他们说，要用你的心去感恩;用成绩去回报他们。

人总是不满足，总希望自己得到更多。但是如果不懂得感恩父母，便无法得到便去祈求神灵。

快珍惜吧!让我们一起学会感恩，感恩关注你的人呵护你爱护你的人吧!

Pressure seems to be a natural part in our daily life in this competitive

society. Like it or not there is always pressure of one kind or another. And it

seems there is hardly any way to avoid it or get rid of it. Moreover, as the

pace of modern life continues to quicken, pressure seems to be on the increase

all the time.

Different people have different ideas about pressure. Some hold that

pressure is something very vicious. If there is too much of it, it will lead to

the decline of ones physical and mental health. So they are always complaining

about it or trying to flee from it. They think, only relaxation, the opposite of

pressure, is what we should desire. On the other hand, others argue that

pressure is not as bad as is often thought. In fact a certain amount of pressure

is essential to provide motivation and meaning to our life. It is pressure that

propels our progress and contributes to our success.

Personally, Im in favor of the latter idea. I believe that a little

pressure is certainly an important incentive in life. It is only when the

pressure gets out of control can it lead to poor performance and bad health.

Since it is impossible to avoid pressure, certainly there is no sense trying to

do so or complaining about it.

Love is a stranger a hand; Love is the teacher sets a white hairs in the homework; Love is the mother of a move, let you feel the warm.

A little boy, I hate my mom, but since that time, I understand the mothers love.

On one occasion, I was just about to do the homework, but found that I lost my homework, Im afraid I carelessly, didnt see it, just opened the bag, take out your book all, one by one to find, but not yet, my heart suddenly tense up, thought: without the book I cant do the homework, tomorrow, but how to account with the teacher! True when I worry, mom came back, I just want to let my mother to help me get to the school, but have to see mother look very embarrassing, appear very tired, very worry, dont let mother go, cant replacement tomorrow, let mother go, mom look very tired today, should have a good rest at home. When my mother found my exception, a little angrily said: "what are you doing! Dont do your homework?" I speak hesitatingly ground to say: "my homework...... in the school, cant... help me to get?" After mother, drop a words: "I cant help you any more, let you suffer, next time do not!" I reluctantly went back to the room and felt very upset, and in the end I had to do other homework well first, after a while, I heard a door shutting, also didnt care.

The next morning, I was bedding bag, found that fall in the school yesterday book appear in the table above, feel very strange, suddenly recalled that door shutting in the brain, ask mother, mother said: "I cant help you with, it must be you didnt see!" But I think mother lying, ask grandma, grandma, mother to help me to get in the rain at night, my heart was warm, head emerge with a tired mother help me to take his umbrella rain notebook.

At this point, the warmth welled up in my mind.

爱是陌生人的一把搀扶;爱是作业本里老师落下的一根白发;爱是母亲的一个举动，让你体会到温暖。

小的时候，我讨厌我的妈妈，但从那次以后，我懂得了妈妈的爱。

有一次，我正准备做作业，可是发现我的作业本不见了，我怕是我粗心，没看见，就翻开书包，把本子全都拿出来，一本一本的找，可还没有，我的心一下子紧张了起来，心想：没有了本子我就没法做作业了，明天可怎么跟老师交代呀!真当我犯愁的时候，妈妈回来了，我就想让妈妈帮我到学校拿一下，可有看妈妈脸色很难堪，显得十分疲倦，就很忧虑：不让妈妈去吧，明天没法交代，让妈妈去吧，妈妈今天看起来很累，应该在家好好休息。就在这时妈妈发现了我的异常，有点生气地说：“你在干嘛呀!不好好做作业?”我吞吞吐吐地说：“我的……作业本……在学校里，能不能……帮我去拿一下呀?”妈妈听后，丢下一句话：“我可不会再帮你了，让你吃吃苦头，下次就不会这样了!”我无可奈何地回到了房间，心里忐忑不安，最后我只好先把其他的作业做好，过了一会儿，我听到了一声关门声，也没怎么在意。

第二天早上，我正在理书包的时候，发现昨天落在学校里的本子出现在桌子上面，感到很奇怪，突然脑子里回想起那关门声，就去问妈妈，妈妈说：“我可没帮你拿，准是你自己没看到!”可我觉得妈妈在撒谎，就去问奶奶，奶奶说是妈妈晚上冒雨帮我去拿的，我的心一阵温暖，脑袋里浮现着劳累了一天的妈妈打着伞冒着大雨帮我拿本子的情形。

此时，阵阵暖意涌上我的心头。

也许长这么大，对我帮助最大的就是英语村了(English village)了。

英语村是我六年级毕业以后学校组织的一次英语活动。聘请外教来上课，吃住都在学校中，听说还可以在晚上搞搞活动，看看影片，其乐无穷。

于是，我动心了，便成为了英语村中的一名学子。好兴奋!虽说我的自理能力挺差的，不过，我更渴望一些自由，更渴望无拘无束地玩耍。我渴望与外教谈天说地，我渴望学到那纯正的英语……虽说我的英语水平说不上怎么好，但是，毕竟比别人多学了几年的剑桥英语，要是想表达一个意思，想法，那是绝对没问题的。想到自己在英语村中一定会很出色，不由地沾沾自喜。但现在想想，父母的忠告的确是对的：“你不要感觉太好了，离开了父母你会碰到很多困难的。”而我却说了一句：“我不是自我感觉良好，而是自我感觉优秀!”

回想一下，的确希望是越大，失望也就越大。在整个英语村中，我还是吃了很多苦的，当时当然也很后悔，但毕竟也锻炼了我的能力，让我学会了很多的知识，学会了生活。对自己而言，我是很成功的!

Everyone has a hobby. I like doing sports and I like playing basketball the

best. So I decided to play basketball every morning with my classmates. Today,

the weather was nice. Early in the morning, I got up and worn clothes quickly.

When I arrived at the basketball ground, my classmates have already been there.

First, we ran around the basketball ground so that we could play better in the

game. After that, we began to play basketball. In the end, we beat another team.

Although we all felt tired, we were happy and proud.

"Low carbon" start small, since the sixth grade, as long as I dont save, mom and dad will speak of the words in my ear. To this end, I decided that I really want to be a low-carbon life. Remember once, mom after using the mask, just ready to throw away, just let me see, I hurriedly shouts to prevent a mother: "mom, cant throw away!" Mother heard after, immediately stop. I ran over and took the mother in the hands of the mask. Then said to his mother: "mom you have finished using the mask cant throw, said on television the mask after use can wipe furniture, not only a bright shine, and its fragrance.

"After listening to his mother, smiled and patted my head say:" my daughter really understand low carbon life. "I cant agree in front of dad, in a few days ago, because our wardrobe very damp, mom and dad are there, then I thought of my grandma often use newspaper mat in the wardrobe, she told the newspaper can be moistureproof, still can absorb peculiar smell, so I went to the newspaper, but used the newspaper all let me away, now also really didnt have the newspaper in the home, the somebody else all say" books to time square hate less "but I want to say today" newspaper when hate nothing ". Well, by the way, today I thought I saw daddy came home from work with a newspaper, I hurriedly found the father, "dad you back a newspaper today? "Dad puzzled nodded, I cant wait to say:" quick contribution out, I have an idea. "

When dad see me the paper pad in the wardrobe, harm my dad cant find newspapers and buy one. Now, I walk to school every day, no longer let father motorcycle send me; Every time I go shopping bring your own bag... I want to live a low-carbon life. Low carbon starts from me, lets construction of a new civilization, happiness, charm, donggang.

“低碳从小做起”，自从上六年级以来，只要我不节约，爸爸妈妈就会在我耳边说起这句话。 为此，我决定真的要做个低碳生活的执行者。 记得有一次，妈妈用完面膜之后，刚准备要扔掉，恰巧让我看到了，我连忙大喊一声阻止妈妈：“妈妈，不能扔掉!”妈妈听见了之后，立即停下。我飞快跑过去，夺下了妈妈手中的面膜。然后对妈妈说：“妈妈你用完的面膜不能扔，电视上说面膜用完之后可以擦家具，不仅擦得亮，而且还有香味。

”妈妈听了后，微笑着拍拍我头的说：“我女儿真的懂得低碳生活了。” 在爸爸面前我也不能服输，就在前几天，因为我们家的衣柜很潮湿，爸爸和妈妈都无计可施，这时我想到了奶奶常常用报纸垫在衣柜里，她说过报纸可以防潮，还可以吸收异味，于是我就去找报纸，但是以前用过的报纸都让我扔掉了，现在家里还真的没有报纸，人家都说“书到用时方恨少”今天我却想说“报纸用时方恨无”。嗯，对了，今天我好像看见爸爸下班时拿回来了一张报纸，我连忙找到了爸爸：“爸爸你今天是不是拿回来一张报纸?”爸爸疑惑不解的点点头，我迫不及待的说：“快贡献出来，我有办法了。”

当爸爸看我把报纸垫在衣柜里时，害的我爸爸找不到报纸又买啦一张。 现在，每天上学我都步行，再也不让爸爸摩托车送我;我每次逛街都自备口袋……我要过真正的低碳生活。 低碳从我做起，让我们一起来建设文明、幸福、魅力、新东港吧。
