My Plan for Winter Holiday

How time flies. This term ends quickly and the winter holiday is coming. I make a general plan for it. Firstly, my teachers leave us some homework, so I must earnestly finish them on time. I plan to finish them before the Spring Festival, and then I can enjoy the festival with all my heart. Secondly, I will spend some time with my friends. Generally, we study together but have little time to play. During the holiday, we want to have fun together. Finally, I will visit my grandparents with my parents, and then we will spend the Spring Festival with them. I haven’t seen them for a long time. I miss them very much. This is my winter holiday plan. What is yours?

Mid-autumn is a traditional festival in China. It’s also called Autumn festive, August festival, daughters festival, or Reunion festival and so on. It’s often on August 15th in lunar calendar every year, but in some places, it’s on the 16th August, such as Ningbo, Lanzhou and Zhou Shan.

Mid-autumn day is thought to be the best festival with human touch or interest and poetic sentiment and mood of a painting. It’s a reunion festival, on the day, people always miss close relatives and friends. Wherever they are, they always go home to see their parents and brothers and sisters, or their wife or husband and their children. The people who are in far away also give a call to the persons they are concerning with.

On this day, people often eat moon cake, nuts and some special food. And in some places, the days before Mid-autumn day, they do the rabbits with wheat, which stand of peace and reunion. On the evening, family members or friends always stay together to watch the moon as eating moon cake and nuts, or as talking each other happily.

I have lunch at twelve oclock. I go home at eight oclock. I watch TV at eight ten. I go to bed at nine oclock. I like playing computer games and going fishing. On Sunday morning, I usually do my homework. In the afternoon, I play games with my friends.

The Great Wall of China

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."

中国的长城

中国的万里长城被称为“万里长城”。事实上，它有6000多公里长。它蜿蜒地从西向东，穿过沙漠，越过高山，穿过山谷，直到最后到达大海。它是世界奇观之一。

长城有二十多个世纪的历史。它的第一部分是在春秋时期建造的。战国时期，有更多的城墙被用来保卫不同王国的边界。正是在秦朝，秦国把帝夫的发福部分统一为一个帝国。为了把敌人赶出他的帝国，秦始皇把所有的城墙连在一起。于是，长城诞生了。

长城的宽度足以让五匹马或十个人并排走。沿着墙的是瞭望塔，士兵们常常在那里守望。当敌人到来时，在塔上点燃了火作为警告。

在古代没有任何现代机器的情况下，很难建造这样一堵墙。所有的工作都是手工完成的。成千上万的人死了，被埋在他们建造的城墙下。长城不仅是由石头和泥土建成的，而且是几百万人的血肉所组成的。

今天，长城不仅对中国人，而且对来自世界各地的人都有兴趣。他们中的许多人都知道中国著名的谚语:“没有到达长城的人不是真正的人。”

时光飞逝，短暂而又愉快的假期生活已经结束了。接下来我所面临的是紧张而又愉快的新学期的教育教学生活。为把新学期的教育教学工作做好，特此作如下教学计划：

一、指导思想。

坚持马列主义，毛泽东思想。高举邓小平理论伟大旗帜，认真学习教育理论，贯彻“三个代表”重要指导思想，积极响应和贯彻素质教育钻研素质教育的实质。“减负”的内在，并以此指导自己的教育教学工作，遵循教育教学规律，紧扣大纲，把我教学层次，不断提高自己的业务水平。

二、基本情况。

这一学期，我继续担任初一(1，2)班的英语教学工作。这两个班级，每班各有学生三十五人左右，但是，基础却不尽人意。初一.1班的学生基础还可以，但是2班的基础却相差很远，学生基础参差不齐，两极分化严重，没有学习的兴趣。因此，教学工作开展的相当困难。

三、教材特点。

初中英语第一册(下)主要介绍了日常生活的交际用语以及一些西方国家的文化背景和风俗习惯，教材通俗易懂，旨在使初一级学生基本能用英语进行简单的交流。

四、教学目标。

力争在期末考试中优秀率打到30%左右，及格率达到60%左右。缩小学生间的差距。为下一学期的英语教育教学工作打下以良好的基础。

五、具体措施。

1、每天背诵课文中的对话。目的：要求学生背诵并默写，培养语感。

2、每天记5个生词，2个常用句子或习语。实施：利用“互测及教师抽查”及时检查，保证效果并坚持下去。

3、认真贯彻晨读制度：规定晨读内容，加强监督，保证晨读效果。

4、坚持日测、周测、月测的形成性评价制度：对英语学习实行量化制度，每日、每周、每月都要给学生检验自己努力成果的机会，让进步的同学体会到成就感，让落后的同学找出差距，感受压力。由此在班里形成浓厚的学习氛围，培养学生健康向上的人格和竞争意识。

5、对后进生进行专门辅导，布置单独的作业，让他们在小进步、小转变中体味学习的快乐，树立学习的自信，尽快成长起来。

6、关注学生的情感，营造宽松、民主、和谐的教学氛围。

7、实施"任务型"的教学途径，培养学生综合语言运用能力。

8、在教学中根据目标并结合教学内容，创造性地设计贴近学生实际的教学活动，吸引和组织他们积极参与。学生通过思考、调查、讨论、交流和合作等方式，学习和使用英语，完成学习任务。

9、加强对学生学习策略的指导，为他们终身学习奠定基础。

10、认真钻研教材，备好，上好每一节课，向45分钟要质量。

总之，新的学期已经开始了，我要以上一学期的基础为起点，树立信心，全身心的投入到新学期的教育教学工作中去。争取在新的一年里，把教育教学工作推向一新的层次。

He always rose early to enjoy at least two hours of solitude in the house

and garden before the rest of the family came down In winter he spent most of

the time reading and writing. In sum mer he liked to get out of doors to work in

the kitchen garden or to take the dog for a walk in the neighbouring woods and

fields Whatever the weather, there was plenty to occupy him.

Although he was a creature of habit, there seemed to be an infinite variety

in his pursuits. He wrote book reviews regularly for two of the national

weeklies. He worked conscientiously his special subject, Indian History, and was

thus one of the world authorities on it;

he collected modern abstract paintings and so had a circle of friends

amongst artists and sculptors; there was hardly anything he did not know about

traditional jazz and he often entertained both British and America n jazz

musicians He was a superb cook and knew a lot about French and German food.

His family adored him and in a sense he was spoiled by them. At first

glance you would have taken him for a retired army officer-his bearing was

erect, his hair was cut short, he was fussy about his clothes, which were always

neat, clean and conventional. He liked to keep fit, and this was reflected in

his clear, steady blue eyes and healthy suntanned complexion. He hardly ever

watched TV, but enjoyed a good film and an occasional evening at the

theatre.

每一年的春节都在张灯结彩、鞭炮声声、欢声笑语中度过。今年的春节，却在众志成城、抗击疫情的篇篇报道和一串串上涨的数字中经历着。

我们全国各地的人都在关注着这次疫情。这不禁让我回想起爸爸跟我谈论的非典型性肺炎。那次是突如其来的病毒在广东出现，随即传染到全国各地，各省各市都受到了不同程度的影响。一时间，病毒的传染掀起了轩然大浪，顿时成为了国内人民共同关注的焦点。此疫情还导致了不少人死亡，令许多“白衣天使”因传染而丧命。

今天，我们中国的武汉也因为一种新型病毒而生病了，从各种渠道得知，这是新型的冠状性病毒，比2003年的非典要厉害的多，一时，人心惶恐，这时，从电视上看到了终南山院士挺身而出的报导，那仅仅是几幅镜头——钟南山院士静静地睡在了餐车的一角，紧接着的就是他与其他医生开会的景象，最后便是他在新闻发布会上的演讲照片，一名84岁的老院士，这个年纪的他本该坐享天伦之乐，却奋不顾身的的赶往前线。

在这次病情中，中国人民的团结正深刻地展现出来，正所谓一方有难八方支援，从手机视频中看到一个个来自各地的医生护士，不惜牺牲自己的春节假期，回到医院穿起那沉重的防护服，带上会把自己的脸勒出一条痕迹的口罩，在本该享受青春的年纪，他们选择奋战在抗疫的第一线。

病毒虽摧垮了我们的身体，但摧垮不了我们坚定的毅力!只愿武汉能早日恢复，中国不会放弃你，中国人民也不会放弃你!

不一样的春节，每个不同的家庭，怀着同样的心情和希望。让疫情赶紧过去，在疫区的医生们能够平安回来。加油，中国!

I like to play violin, reading, swimming, skiing and surfing the internet....I have a lot of hobbies! The color I like best is silver. My favorite food is hamburger.

Dear Michael，

You want to know the changes about my hometown。 You know， great changes

have taken place since 60 years ago。

In the past， the living conditions were very poor。 There were not many

buses or cars， and the roads were narrow。 Usually， a big family was crowed into

a small， dark house。 Most families couldn’t get enough food。 The communications

were simple and slow。 People kept in touch with their friends and relatives far

away mainly by letter or telegram。

Thanks to the government， our hometown has developed rapidly in recent

years。 The living conditions are much better and more comfortable。 The roads are

wide。 Some people have their own cars。 Most of the people have lived in big new

houses。 Quite a few adults have mobile phones。 Because of many good policies， I

think our lives will become better and better。

Sincerely

Kang Min

除夕那天，夜幕降临，一阵阵“噼里啪啦”的爆竹声响彻了天际。

我飞快地跑出家门，抬头仰望着夜空。只见烟花在天空中，争奇斗艳，仿佛是争着在这一块黑色的锦缎织上五彩缤纷的图案;烟花的光亮把整个夜空照得金碧辉煌，似乎给这夜空披上了一件晶莹透亮的衣裳。

望着远处那红彤彤的烟花刚落下，黄灿灿的烟花又升上了天空。这边的“降落伞”刚落下，那边的“钻天猴”就鸣叫着飞上了天;烟花就这样陆陆续续地在天空中开放了，让我目不暇接。你看，那“擎天柱”轰地

一声飞上了碧霄，仿佛一把锋利的剑竖立在天际，气势磅礴;最引人注目的是那“仙女散花”，那一朵朵金色的火花向四面八方散开，撒向祖国大地……

亮闪闪的宝石似的的烟花，又似一双双小眼睛，顽皮地向人们眨着眼睛。渐渐地，烟花越来越多。我情不自禁地赞叹道：“除夕之夜的烟花真是分外美，分外多!”这些爆竹声也吸引了许多人，大家也纷纷走出来观看。小孩们看着、喊着、笑着，他们的笑脸映着火花，显得更加灿烂;老人们全神贯注地看着，从眼神中流露许多回忆……

啊!烟花好美呀!那次的除夕之夜可真让我难以忘怀。

师徒四人取得了真经，猪八戒成为了净坛使者，他化为一个绅士，来访人间。虽然天宫中有许许多多的财物，但他毅然打算去开一个包子铺。

于是，他找了一个好地点租了下来。提提裤子，擦擦汗。爬上梯子，挂一块殷红的大布块，写着“净坛包铺”。过路的人一瞧，停止了脚步，惊道：“这条街，总算是有包子店了，再也不用跑远路吃早餐了。”随着太阳的升起。照得那四个大字闪闪发亮，还没等包子出炉，门口便是龙一般的队伍。人们无不议论：“也不知这新来的小子做的包子，好不好吃，服务态度好不好。”

只听一声吆喝：“来啦!”一股热气直漫整个店，客人摩拳撑掌，找出钱，捧着饥饿的肚囊。这个抢：“我要3个。”这边挤：“来上2个”。八戒心中顿时盛开了花了，生意好极了，悄悄念冷战咒：“咈噜啦顿!”身边多了许多年轻小伙，上前服务，人们都拿到了自己的包子，付了钱，找了个位吃起来。哟，瞧这肉包!那皮香酥可口，一咬，嘴上满是油水，肉白里透红，芬芳扑鼻，嫩极了，客人吃得“哒哒”，八戒笑得“哈哈”。香气布满了店。果然，八戒在天宫尝了许多佳肴，也学了许多做菜的方法，包子当然容易，何况这群凡人怎知神仙的法术，别的包子更是美味呀!

一年很快过去，八戒的店一直十分红火，资产已经到了上百万，突然一天，他在电脑上看见某地的孩子穷得没钱，没有吃的十分可怜。他一甩袍子，从银行取出了一半的钱，带上一袋包子，驾着祥云，来到了那地。为了更亲近大家，变为了猪八戒的原身。大家十分感激!

如来在这时带走了八戒，笑道：“真不错，为人民，为世界这正是我们该做的。”说话间八戒的法力也不断提升着。

人间一个包子铺内住着一个神仙，他将永远得给人们幸福!

Beijing is an ancient city with a long history. Back in 3000 years ago in Zhou dynasty, Beijing, which was called Ji at the moment, had been named capital of Yan. Thereafter, Liao, Jin, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasty all made Beijing their capital. Therefore, Beijing was famous for "Capital of a thousand years".

The long history leaves Beijing precious cultural treasure. Winding for several kilometers in Beijing area, the Great Wall is the only man-made structure that could been seen in the space. The Summer Palace is a classic composition of ancient royal gardens, and the Forbidden City is the largest royal palaces in the world. Tiantan is where the emperor used to fete their ancestors, and also the soul of Chinese ancient constructions. The four sites above has been confirmed world cultural heritage by UNESCO. However, the best representatives for Beijing are the vanishing Hutongs and square courtyards. Through hundreds of years, they have become symbol of Beijings life. Tiananmen square being still brilliant today with cloverleaf junctions and skyscrapers everywhere, the old-timey scene and modern culture are combined to present a brand new visage of Beijing.

As Beijing has been confirmed home city of Olympics 2008, the spirit of "green Olympics, scientific Olympics and humanized Olympic" will surely bring more and more changes to Beijing, promote the development of sports and Olympics in China as well as in the world, and strengthen the friendly communications between Chinese and foreign people.

My Dream

I’m longing for a weekend. It’s happy and it’s free. This is my dream.

At this weekend, I don’t have to play the violin; I don’t have to draw pictures; Olympic Maths is far away from me; Handwriting doesn’t bother me.

I can play and I can sing; I can do everything interesting. No one can stop me.

Oh, what a happy weekend! But, it’s only my dream. I hope it will come true.

Today I found time was a cruel thing. Whatever man is, time always goes on. It won’t stay to wait for somebody. You can’t use anything to exchange time. Time is also a fair thing. Although you have a lot of money or you enjoy high reputation, time won’t leave them more. Today I found I hadn’t enough time. Although I have 50-day holiday, but I found I had a lot of things to do. I had a lot of homework to do and I had something necessary to do.

每个人都有自己的梦想。有的想学医，有的想成为歌星，有的想成为有钱人……但是从小到大我的梦想一直在变。

我想成为一名科学家，发明各种机器，方便人类工作，用来保家卫国。比如发明一种针尖大小的机器人，钻进人的血管里，清除堵塞物，让人延年益寿，再发明出一种海陆空通用的新型机器人，用它代替人类作战，会大大地降低伤亡人数……

我还想成为一名医生，救死扶伤，妙手回春。让癌症患者远离病疼的折磨，让残疾人恢复原本的样子，让畸形患者不再因畸形而受人岐视……

我还想成为警察，抓住那些小偷、腐败的官员、强盗、黑社会、不良少年……每个坏人都逃不出我的手掌心，我的眼睛。让世界变得和谐，不再有暴力的事件发生。

我还想成为作家，写出一篇篇旷世大作，成为第二个“莫言”。写出一篇篇语句优美、意境出众的作文，让小孩子们的作文水平更上一层楼，让每个小孩子都不再为作文而烦恼。

我还想成为志愿者，哪里需要我，我就去哪里。保护动物，不让偷猎者捕杀动物;保护环境，不再让任何人污染环境，让地球变得干干净净。

我还想成为慈善家，帮助灾后的地区，帮助上不起学的孩子们，让中国各地都变得繁华起来，让每个求知若渴的孩子们都得到知识。

我还想……

我还梦想着做许多事情，但这些都只是“想”而已，少年强，则国强，如果每个少年都有一个梦想，并努力地去实现它，那未来的中国将会是一片繁荣富强!
