I was bored. So I wanted to travel to Hong Kang. I told my father my

decision. To my surprise, my father agreed. My father thought I always at home

was bad. He thought I should go out to see our country clearly. How beautiful

our country is! My father drove me a travel service. I filled out an application

form. After that, the agency would finish every things. At last the agency told

me it would take a week time to transact procedures.

我很无聊。所以我想前往香港康。我告诉父亲我的决定。出乎我的意料，我的父亲同意了。我的父亲以为我总是在家里不好。他认为我应该走出去，看到我们的国家清楚。如何美丽，我们的国家是!我的父亲开车，我的旅行服务。我填写了申请表。在此之后，该机构将完成每事情。在去年该机构告诉我，它会采取一个星期的时间办理手续。

幸福是否可以用金钱购买？不可能！但是不是钱多一点我们就会更开心一点呢？对此，大多数人一定微笑赞同。我们相信，收入的富足与舒适的生活感受之间有着某种联系。几乎所有人都会说，是的，我希望变得富有。而目前有四分之三的美国大学生都认为，过上“十分富裕”的生活是“非常重要”和“必不可少”的。钱的作用的确不小。

Does money buy happiness? No! Ah, but would a little more money make us a little happier? Many of us smirk and nod. There is, we believe, some connection between fiscal fitness and feeling fantastic. Most of us would say that, yes, we would like to be rich. Three in four American collegians now consider it “very important” or “essential” that they become “very well off financially”. Money matters.

但是，富人就一定更快乐吗?研究人员发现，在一些贫穷的国家，相对而言比较富裕确实会使人过得更幸福一些。我们需要食物、住所、休息和社会关系。然而，人们惊讶地发现，在那些几乎所有人都衣食无忧的国家里，财富的增加所产生的效果微乎其微。收入与幸福之间的关联“惊人得微弱”。一旦生活舒适，钱所带来的收益便呈现递减趋势。得到的第二笔十万美元就像吃到的第二只派，尝起来永远都不如第一只那么美味。即使那些彩票得主和福布斯排名前一百的富人们也并没有比一般的美国人更开心多少。飞黄腾达只能带来暂时的喜悦。从长远来说，财富就像健康一样，失去它的人定会感到不幸，而拥有它的人却未必一定幸福。

Well, are rich people happier? Researchers have found that in poor countries, being relatively well off does make for greater well-being. We need food, rest, shelter and social contact. But a surprising fact of life is that in countries where nearly everyone can afford life’s necessities, increasing affluence matters surprisingly little. The correlation between income and happiness is “surprisingly weak”. Once comfortable, more money provides diminishing returns. The second piece of pie, or the second $100,000, never tastes as good as the first. Even lottery winners and the Forbes’ 100 wealthiest Americans have expressed only slightly greater happiness than the average American. Making it big brings temporary joy. But in the long run, wealth is like health: its utter absence can breed misery, but having it doesn’t guarantee happiness.

A few days ago, the movie Red Sea Operation was very hot and people were

very impressive about the policemen, who saved the citizens lives in a very

urgent situation, some even sacrificed their lives as the price. We live in a

peaceful country. This is because policemen protect us all the time, and they

are the great persons. March 14th is the policemens day, people make this day

for them and show respect. They deserve the publics praise. They sacrifice so

much, such as the time to accompany their families. Many childrens future dream

is to be a policeman, as this career brings the public hope and future.

I am a shy boy.I speak less than other students in my class.“On the contrary”,my best friend is much more outgoing than me.He plays basketball better than many students in our class.He is one year older than me.We both like to watch Harry Potter.We often talks about Harry who has a more special life than other boy.I often imagine if  could have more magic than other people.My friend laughs at me.

我是一个比较害羞的男孩，我在我们班级里说话比较少的。相反的，我最好的朋友要比我外向很多，他打篮球比其他同学要好。他比我大一岁，我们都喜欢看哈利波特，我们经常讨论哈利是一个拥有特殊生活的男孩子。我常常会想，如果我也有会魔法就好了，我的朋友因此而笑我。

In this atmosphere, our family went to the beautiful scenery of my grandmas.

Having eaten his dinner, at noon, we will wander in the field sales, appreciate pastoral scenery, when go to grandmas home, looking at the small chili, lettuce like flowers, bamboo of the chili... All let a person feel a burst of joy. However, continue to go forward, there is no such good things:

We are along the mountain road to the capital, along the way, mom and dad introduced me to stop, also some of their childhood story. ...... Its getting late! We from another road back to my grandmas, all the way along the way we see there are a lot of purslane joshed the purslane picked a big, very anxious to have a pocket put them down, thats all We have returned to my grandmas.

十月一日是一年一度的国庆节,是祖国母亲的生日。祖国母亲今年**周岁了，因此全国都洋溢着喜庆的气氛 。

乘着这气氛，我们一家人来到了山清水秀的外婆家。

中午，吃完了饭，我们就漫步在田间销路，欣赏田园风光，当走到外婆家的地是，看着那娇小的辣椒，像花儿一样的莴笋，竹子般的洋辣椒……一切让人感到一阵欢喜。然而继续向前走就没有这么好的事物了：

一口池塘边，全是一群一群的死鱼漂在水上，旁边的橘子树也枯萎了。

我们再往前十米看，橘子树又是硕果累累，枝繁叶茂。这可真奇怪，就像别人说的水土不同吧!

我们又沿着山路向前周，一路上，爸爸妈妈停的向我介绍，还讲了一些他们小时侯的故事。 …… 时间不早了!我们又从另一条路回外婆家，一路上我们看到有很多马齿苋便一路上说说笑笑的把马齿苋摘了一大把，恨不得能有个口袋把它们装下，就这样 我们有回到了外婆家。

这次国庆虽然没有到外面游山玩水，但是去外婆家也饱了我的眼福呀!

Nothing is difficult if you put your heart into it. Nothing is easy if you

don’t try your best.

We often hear people say, “Never give up.” A person who believes in these

words will keep trying to pursue his goal no matter how many times he fails. In

my opinion, the quality of determination to succeed is an important one to have.

Therefore, I believe that we should never give up.

One reason is that if we give up easily, we will achieve nothing. It is not

unusual for us to fail in our first attempt at something new, so we should not

feel discouraged. Besides, if we always give up when fail happens, we will can

not develop new skills. Finally, we should never give up because as we work to

reach our goals, we develop confidence, and this confidence can help us succeed

in other areas of our lives.

Probably the greatest example of persistence is Abraham Lincoln. Born into

poverty, Lincoln was faced with defeat throughout his life. He lost eight

elections, twice failed in business and suffered a nervous breakdown. He could

have quit many times - but he didnt and because he didnt quit, he became one

of the greatest presidents in the history of America.

Lincoln was a champion For the reason that ---he ,never gave up.

In short, no matter you succeed or not, you can learn something, no matter

what we learn will help us to become more confident. If we give up, we have no

chance to make our dreams come true, if we keep trying, there is always a

chance, that we will succeed one day. Thank you very much!

世上无难事，只怕有心人。如果你不努力，没有什么是容易的。

我们经常听到人们说:“永不放弃。”一个相信这些话的人，无论失败多少次，都将继续追求他的目标。在我看来，成功的决心是很重要的。因此，我认为我们不应该放弃。

一个原因是，如果我们轻易放弃，我们将一事无成。我们第一次尝试新事物时失败并不罕见，所以我们不应该感到气馁。此外，如果我们总是在失败的时候放弃，我们就无法发展新的技能。最后，我们永远不应该放弃，因为当我们努力实现我们的目标时，我们会建立信心，这种信心能帮助我们在生活的其他方面取得成功。

也许最伟大的坚持就是亚伯拉罕·林肯。林肯出身贫寒，一生都面临失败。他在8次选举中失败，两次失败，并经历了精神崩溃。他本可以放弃很多次，但他没有，因为他没有放弃，他成为了美国历史上最伟大的总统之一。

林肯是一个冠军，因为他从不放弃。

总之，无论你成功与否，你都可以学到一些东西，无论我们学到什么都会帮助我们变得更加自信。如果我们放弃，我们就没有机会实现我们的梦想，如果我们继续努力，总有机会，我们终有一天会成功。非常感谢!

Seeing my whole education history, I have many teachers. But my favorite

teacher is only one. He is Mr Lu. He is my middle Chinese teacher and head

teacher. He is about fifty years old. Maybe he works too hard, so his back is a

little bent. He always wears a black glasses. He looks amiable but serious in

study. He always thinks us before everything. His class is very interesting and

full of different kinds of encouraging stories. He is very strict to us in

study. But whoever has difficulties, he would help us without hesitation.

Sometimes he plays the role of a strict teacher, sometimes he takes the place of

a kind father.

In China , tea has a very long history and has formed the Chinese tea

culture. At the same time, tea is beneficial to our health, thus it is well

received by many people. Chinese tea culture is both extensive and profound,

which not only contains the level of material culture, but also includes a deep

level of spiritual civilization. Referring to Chinese tea, we can trace it back

to ancient times, which flourished in the Tang and Song Dynasties, Since then,

the spirit of tea has penetrated into the court and society, going deep into

Chinese poetry, painting, calligraphy , religion and medicine. For thousands of

years, China has accumulated a great deal of culture in tea cultivation and

production, moreover, enriching the spiritual culture of tea.

Recently, there has been a terrible virus, the coronavirus. All the news is

about the pneumonia caused by the new coronavirus, which is an acute human to

human pneumonia. The source of the virus is said to be small wild animals, such

as badgers, bats, snakes and so on. Doctors said that the new virus has a fast

and strong infectivity, can spread through breathing and contact, and the

epidemic development is particularly rapid. People are getting infected every

day all over the country.

children should be loved

most of us own a simple and good life. city born and city bred, we sometimes imagine the idyllic pastoral scene such as the friendly people, the clean atmosphere, the closeness to nature and the gentle pace of living. in face, everything has its pros and cons. the other side of picture is that leftover children have become a heavy topic nowadays, because most parents of these children consider that to feed their children well and to let them grow up health and safe in body are the most important task.however, as a matter of fact, in addition to provide the basic needs for their children, parents should pay more attention to their childrens psychological needs and their education.

for one thing, parents who cannot accompany their children often need to pay more attention to their childrens psychological needs.therefore, it seems to me that government can set up a parents school for these children on holidays and organize" hand-in-hand" activity to call on more people to help them. we can also raise money to donate to these children. as the song says:"if everyone gives their love, the world will be better." its very important for us to pay more attention to these children if we want to build a harmonious society.

for another, education of leftover children is also quite important. as the saying goes, “knowledge can change our fate”, education is an effective way to change the future of those children. in order to make those leftover children grow up in health, therefore, we need to show more concern about their psychological needs and their education.

in my view, leftover children should be encouraged to live with or near their parents, which is very helpful for them to be loved and concerned, they also can have a simple and good life.

Through observation， I found that plastic bags on peoples harm and pollution is very large。 People often use plastic bags： mother to buy food and plastic bags； to shopping malls with plastic bags； in the restaurant to eat rice is also packaged with plastic bags to take home； even I buy stationery also with plastic bags。 People do not know what they do to the environment caused by pollution， their own body caused any harm。 Such as： people often put useless plastic bags thrown into the garbage， plastic bags in the rubbish will be smelly， so that the pollution of the air。 People also throw plastic bags anywhere， a wind， plastic bags flying in the sky， the branches also see the tree is a plastic bag， and even the river there are plastic bags。 This plastic bag in addition to pollution of the air， but also polluted our water resources。

We should raise peoples awareness， tell us the neighbors and friends and family together to beautify our environment。 On the road to see the plastic bag quickly picked up， immediately took it to the garbage disposal。 We want to start from my use less plastic bags， so that my mother every day to buy food or shopping when they first take their own bags， this is not very environmentally friendly？ Or can use their own holding things as far as possible by hand， no plastic bags。

As the saying goes： "to protect the environment， everyone is responsible" We have to protect the home environment out of a force。

通过观察，我发现塑料袋对人们的危害和污染非常大。人们还经常用塑料袋：妈妈买菜用塑料袋；去商场购物用塑料袋；在饭店里吃不完的饭也是用塑料袋打包带回家；连我买文具也用塑料袋。人们却不知道他们这样做对环境造成的污染，对他们自己的身体造成了什么危害。如：人们常把没用的塑料袋扔进垃圾堆，塑料袋在垃圾里会发臭，这样就污染了空气。人们还把塑料袋随地乱扔，一刮风，塑料袋在天空中漫天飞舞，树枝上也看到满树都是塑料袋，就连小河里也有塑料袋。这样塑料袋除了污染了空气，还污染了我们的水资源。

我们应该提高人们的认识，告诉我们身旁的邻居和亲朋好友一起来美化我们的环境。在路上见到塑料袋就连忙捡起来，马上把它拿到垃圾场处理掉。我们要从我做起少用塑料袋，让妈妈每天买菜或购物时都先拿上自己做的布袋，这样不是很环保吗？或者能用自己手拿的东西就尽量用手拿，不用塑料袋。

俗话说的好：“保护环境，人人有责”我们也要为保护家乡环境出一份力。

Last Qingming Festival,i return home to worship my grandfather.Qingming

Festival is a folk Festival.In the past,the Qingming Festival was called "Arbor

Day". But Today, Chinese visit their family graves to tend to any underbrush

that has grown. Weeds are pulled, and dirt swept away, and the family will set

out offerings of food and spirit money. Unlike the sacrifices at a familys home

altar, the offerings at the tomb usually consist of dry, bland food. One theory

is that since any number of ghosts rome around a grave area, the less appealing

food will be consumed by the ancestors, and not be plundered by strangers.

With the passing of time, this celebration of life became a day to the

honor past ancestors. Following folk religion, the Chinese believed that the

spirits of deceased ancestors looked after the family. Sacrifices of food and

spirit money could keep them happy, and the family would prosper through good

harvests and more children.

The first snow came. How beautiful it was, falling so silently all day

long, all night long, on the mountains, on the meadows, on the roofs of the

living, on the graves of the dead! All white save the river, that marked its

course by a winding black line across the landscape; and the leafless trees,

that against the leaden sky now revealed more fully the wonderful beauty and

intricacies of their branches. What silence, too, came with the snow, and what

seclusion! Every sound was muffled, every noise changed to something soft and

musical. No more tramping hoofs, no more rattling wheels! Only the chiming of

the sleigh-bells, beating as swift and merrily as the hearts of children.
