Almost all people work hard for success, but not all people can success.

Many people ask how to make success. I think the answer is persistence. The way

to success is full of failure and difficulty. People should never give up when

meet them. If you give up, you can’t be successful. No matter how hard it is,

persistence must be there.

My clothes generally wear white or red, my character is a little introverted, few friends, usually taciturn, my learning is general. My advantage is that I can take notes in class and record the truth and meaning of it. The shortcoming is recalcitrant character and refusing to listen to advice.

我叫李浩天，属蛇，今年十二岁了。我个子一米四四，不胖也不瘦，乌黑的短发，看上去有点二，因为我一直认为明星的发型不会是这样的。浓浓的眉毛下面有一双特别好看的眼睛，睫毛长长的，虽然被我不小心烧过，但它现在依然长得很密。可惜被鼻梁上的这一副蓝边近视眼镜给遮住了。鼻子看上去很普通，嘴巴看上去一般，但内部一下子可以容纳三个饺子，你信吗？

我的性格很暴躁还有点固执，这都是遗传了我爸的dna，因此朋友很少。虽然只有两个朋友，但和我的性格很相似，有时我们亲密无间，有时我们又会争锋相对。记得有一次，我居然把朋友用悠悠球扎的满头包，可不久之后我们就会和好如初。我的这两个朋友，都是可以为对方拔刀相助的好哥们。

我最擅长的是仰卧起坐和踢足球了。每次体育课仰卧体坐半分钟我一般能做48个，最高一次记录49个，而其他同学最多也就45个。大家都说我是蹴鞠天才，在球场上我可以大约计算出对方球员的发球的力量和奔跑的速度，从多次踢球的经验马上就知道谁是菜鸟，谁是老鸟。对自己的队员我也能了如指掌。所以说知己知彼百战百胜是有道理的。我总是常胜将军。

我最喜欢看电视、玩手机、玩电脑、以及电子有关的游戏。可惜总是不能尽情的玩。

Things began to change from the date I stepped into the No.28 senior high school in Shenyang. I always chose the wrong school to go to. Therefore, I learned and cherished the most remarkable experiences in my schoolings. I made a very good and dependable friend and related to him till now. I cherished it deep in my heart so much.

This is me, a man who never stops going forward!

诗人说：花朵把春天的门推开了。我说：感恩把和谐的门推开了，和谐把生活的门推开了。只要你用心去听花开的声音，生活到处都是和谐的乐章。

爱，像火种点燃心灵的希望;

爱，像绿茵撑起心灵的天空。爱，是一种力量，是一种财富。我们应该从小在心中撒播爱的种子。让我们心存感激，学会感恩。用一颗感恩的心去面对生活，面对学习，面对挫折，从而体会父母，师长，同学，朋友间无私的亲情，友情，"懂得滴水之恩，当涌泉相报”的真正内涵。

感恩是中华民族的传统美德，是构建社会主义和谐社会的需要。广东律师田世国为了回报母亲的恩情，在老母病危时瞒着她捐出了自己的肾脏，挽回了母亲的生命;徐本禹为了回报社会对他的恩情，毅然在大学毕业后离开繁华城市，走进穷乡僻壤的破草棚，给求知若渴的孩子们送去知识……

感激生育你的人，因为他们使你获得生命;感激抚养你的人，因为他们使你不断成长;感激关怀你的人，因为他们给你温暖;感激鼓励你的人，因为他们给你力量;感激教育你的人，因为他们开化你的蒙昧;感激伤害你的人，因为他们磨练了你的心智;感激绊倒你的人，因为它强化了你的双腿;感激藐视你的人，因为它觉醒了你的自尊;感激遗弃你的人，因为他教会了你该独立;凡事感激，学会感激，感激一切使你成长的人!

同学们，有首歌叫《感谢你》：感谢明月照亮了夜空，感谢朝霞捧出的黎明，感谢春光融化了冰雪，感谢大地哺育了生灵，感谢母亲赐予我生命……感谢收获、感谢和平、感谢这所有的一切一切。51-51免

感恩无痕，感恩无限!同学们，学会感恩吧!让我们的生活永远走向关怀，充满真情和爱心!让我们携起来手来，共同努力，构建一个人人向往的社会主义和谐社会!

More and more people makes the traffic busier and busier.

Most people keen to live in the big cities where are more convenient and the children can receive better education.But the problem is the heavy traffic create too much pollution which does great harm to humans health.

So,to keep ourselves safe,I think we should do at least two things like below.

Firstly,we should obey the traffic rules whenever we are and even when we are in a deadly hurry.If everyone can do so,everything on the road will be in turn well.

Secondly,we should ask ourselves and our relatives and friends to walk instead of riding or driving if possible,when the time is no enough,we must try to take a bus rather than drive a car.More vehicles will of course cause more traffic problems.Thats my ideas,I hope it is acceptable.

“春蚕到死丝方尽，蜡炬成灰泪始干。”这句名言不正是赞扬老师那种无私奉献的精神吗？如果说“妈妈”是我们来到世界上的第一声呼唤，那么“老师“就是我们步入文化知识的第一声称呼。在这六年的小学生活里，有许多老师曾教过我，在他们的辛勤培育下，让我懂得了做人的道理和中国深渊的文化知识，在这么多位教过我的老师中，我最喜爱的老师就是现在的班主任欧阳老师。

欧阳老师是一位可亲可敬、关爱学生的优秀老师。我们班在学校算是很出名，每个老师来上课都会以笑脸而来，伤心而回。从此我们班在学校就出名了，每个老师都不愿意来我们班上课，只有欧阳老师依然不放弃我们。这也因为我们班的同学很调皮，经常为一两句不中听的话发生争执，为一两件微不足道的事情而打架，使到整个班变得很乱。

虽然欧阳老师也曾对我们失望过，但她并没有因此放弃我们，而是更加耐心地教育我们，让我们懂得做人的道理，让我们知道父母最大的希望就是自己的孩子能够出人头地，不在受没有文化的苦，欧阳老师总是以一些特别的方式让我们记住以往的教训，做到知错能改、诚实守信，不仅是在课堂上还是在课外，欧阳老师总是能给我们一种和蔼可亲，平易近人的感觉。经过几年的奋斗，终于，欧阳老师的付出得到了回报，在去年的期末考试中我们班的成绩在十几个学校中，拿到了第二名，给学校争了很大的光，不管怎么说这也是欧阳老师的功劳呀！

欧阳老师非常关爱学生。记得有一段时间，快临近期末考试，水痘传染很厉害，尤其像学校人多密集的地方，传染的更快。学校各班都有人感染水痘，我们班也有个别同学感染，一请假就是一两个星期，对学习影响很大。欧阳老师为了防止传染水痘的同学成绩下降，就叫一些基础好的同学帮他们补习，一有不明白的问题欧阳老师就耐心的讲解，直到同学弄懂题意，有时还印一些练习卷来做，然后根据同学容易做错的题目，在仔细地讲解，直到同学做对为止，她才慢慢地离去，做自己的工作，老师的付出让同学们对考试也更有信心了，果然在期末考试中，我们拿到了好成绩，算是给欧阳老师的惊喜吧！

我即将毕业了，但欧阳老师为我们班做的一切一切，令我肃然起敬，在这的六年的小学生活里，是您给了我世界上最宝贵的东西—知识；是您让我的成绩和写作水平渐渐的提高；是您让我懂得了做人的道理和做事的原则；是您让我从一个丑小鸭变成里一只美丽的天鹅；是您用知识的源泉改变了我的人生；是您创造了一个全新的我。我会永远记住这为可亲可敬、关爱学生的优秀老师—欧阳老师。

寒假即将到来，请根据下面提示，写一篇70~90字的寒假计划。

提示：rest, Spring Festival,visit,help parents,play with friends, do homework,mend up English,prepare for new term. Plan for the winter Holiday

你好，我叫石云杰，今年22周岁。来自江苏大学，是一名大三学生。我的家乡是江苏南通，它是一座海边城市，四季宜人。我的性格是乐观积极，喜欢与人交流，在大学中自己结交了很多的朋友，他们来自不同的专业，家乡是祖国各地。我的爱好是听歌、看电影、读书。我喜欢读一些人物传记，希望通过这样的方式，给自己的人生规划一些启示。

Good morning， teachers.

I am very glad to be here for this interview. First let me introduce myself. My name is XX, 25 years old. I come from Weifang, a beautiful city of Shandong Province. I graduated from commercial College in July，2001 and major in finance. Then, I was a teacher in X. When I was a senior school student, I am interested in thought and began to read a certain classic work of Marxism, especially I finished reading "the florilegium of Mao ZeDong". From then on, I have dabbled in more and more theoretical works` and accumulated great interests in theory study， especially in Marxism.

I have a dream, a dream of my study. I wish devote my whole life and energy into the development of the Marxism. If I have the opportunity to study in abc University, Ill dabble in as much as document about the specialty as possible. If it is possible, I want to get the primary accomplishment in my major, at least, a stable basis.

Personally, for todays China, the first task to the development of Marxism is a process of construction. Thats to say, we should understand Marxism mostly from the aspect of construction and development of social society. Only when our socialistic country has a more rapid and balance development than the capitalistic, we can enhance the attractiveness and persuasion of Marxism eventually.

The first day is for the welcoming of the deities of the heavens and earth, officially beginning at midnight. Many people, especially Buddhists, abstain from meat consumption on the first day because it is believed that this will ensure longevity for them. Some consider lighting fires and using knives to be bad luck on New Years Day, so all food to be consumed is cooked the day before. For Buddhists, the first day is also the birthday of Maitreya Bodhisattva (better known as the more familiar Budai Luohan), the Buddha-to-be. People also abstain from killing animals.

Most importantly, the first day of Chinese New Year is a time when families visit the oldest and most senior members of their extended family, usually their parents, grandparents or great-grandparents.

Some families may invite a lion dance troupe as a symbolic ritual to usher in the Lunar New Year as well as to evict bad spirits from the premises. Members of the family who are married also give red packets containing cash to junior members of the family, mostly children and teenagers.

While fireworks and firecrackers are traditionally very popular, some regions have banned them due to concerns over fire hazards, which have resulted in increased number of fires around New Years and challenged municipal fire departments work capacity. For this reason, various city governments (e.g., Hong Kong, and Beijing, for a number of years) issued bans over fireworks and firecrackers in certain premises of the city. As a substitute, large-scale fireworks have been launched by governments in cities like Hong Kong to offer citizens the experience.
