就在近几年,粗心大意一家心血来潮,让我把眼睛大意成了快三百度的近视眼,从此纠缠眼镜,便成了我形影不离的“好朋友”,这还要“谢谢”粗心大意一家。

但我有一个优点,可以治服粗心大意一家,那就是一颗一定要请来细心小姐的决心,我一定要在这学期改掉陪伴我11的坏毛病!

但我天生快乐,常常能给同学们带来快乐,若有同学生气了,我能在一分钟之内让他的心情由阴转晴哟!

瞧,这就是我,一个缺点优点共存的我。

Changes in my hometown

My hometown has changed a lot in the last few years. In the past, there used to be old small houses in my hometown. The river in front of the village was very dirty, and smelt terrible. The children had to go to school on foot or by bike. But now there are many new tall buildings instead of the small houses. It looks clean everywhere in my hometown. The river is clear enough for children to swim in. Most children go to school by bus, and some parents take their children to school in a car.

My hometown is getting better than it used to be.

The large number of our population has become one of the most serious problems of our society. according to a recent survey of the national bureau of statistics, there are more than 1.3 billion people in our country, which account for about 1/5 of all the people in the world. the same survey also predicts that our population will grow quickly in the years to come.

overpopulation has brought about a series of negative effects to our economic development and social security. in the first place, too many people impose a heavy burden on our environment. as a result, we suffer from a shortage of fresh water and natural resources. in the second place, as the supply of labor greatly exceeds the demand of the society, many people become employed. this is a source of social unrest. last but not least, we have to manufacture all kinds of products to meet the needs of the people, which causes environment pollution to our lakes and land.

serious though the problem seems, we have to take some measures to tackle it. on the one hand, the government should carry out more strictly the policy of family planning, thus reducing the total number of population. on the other hand, all the people should realize the harms of overpopulation. with the concerted efforts of all the parties concerned, we’re sure to solve the problem in the future.

An important activity during the Spring Festival is bainian (to pay a New Year call).

People start to pay New Year calls from the lunar New Years Day,that is, the first day of the first month of the lunar calendar. Ever since the Ming Dynasty in the 14th century,ordinary people have begun to exchange greeting cards on this day. On the morning of the lunar New Years Day,people get up very early and call on others. The earlier one does so,the more sincere he is. Moreover,people wear new clothes and a new cap,symbolizing that a new year has begun.

The younger generation should call on their elders first,such as the grandfather,grandmother,father and mother,wishing them "Good health" and "Long life". Then the elders give children some money in a red envelope as a New Year gift. After that,people call on their relatives,friends and neighbors. As "big tangerine" is a homonym for "very lucky" in Chinese,so people often present red big tangerines as a gift while paying a New Year call.

Nowadays,besides greeting cards,people also use telephones and e-mails to pay New Year calls.

Dear staff and their families

hello everyone!

"Spring comes early again", the Spring Festival of the year of the sheep is

quietly coming to us. On the occasion of the Spring Festival, principal Chen of

Taishan junior high school, together with the school leadership, extended new

years blessing and festival greetings to the hard-working staff and their

families, and extended high respect and sincere thanks to the family members who

have been caring and supporting the work of the school for a long time!

The past 2014 has been an extraordinary year. It has been a year when we

have worked hand in hand, overcome difficulties and forge ahead in unity. It has

also been a year of fruitful achievements and good news. Under the correct

leadership of the superior competent department, all the staff of our school are

in the same boat through ups and downs, unite as one, work hard and forge ahead

with determination, overcome many difficulties and strive for first-class

achievements. The school was rated as a modern school in Jiangsu Province; in

the assessment of the school by the Education Bureau, the school won the second

prize; more than 20 students entered Baoying county middle school, and a large

number of students were admitted to other senior high schools free of charge; in

the provincial supervision, the school scored high and passed the supervision of

experts, leading experts listened to 24 classes, and 23 courses were awarded

excellent grades; In the national middle school students composition contest,

Yang Yichen, a student from class 6 of junior high school, participated in the

provincial final and won the first prize. In the final examination just

finished, each grade reached or exceeded the assessment index issued by the

school at the beginning of the school year. When we are immersed in these

achievements bring us joy and joy, we will think that these gains come from the

hard work of teachers. It is you who guide students to constantly improve their

moral quality; it is you who work hard to let students broaden their horizons

and appreciate the brilliant scenery of scientific and cultural knowledge. Of

course, the achievement of these achievements is inseparable from the support of

the family members of the staff. There are also sweat and effort of the family

members in these achievements. Here we would like to sincerely say "thank you

for your hard work". Winter vacation is a holiday full of festivities, and the

Spring Festival is an auspicious and happy festival. In order to have a full and

civilized Festival, the school puts forward the following suggestions.

Give yourself more reminders. We should always pay attention to the safety

of fire, electricity and gas during the holidays. When visiting relatives and

friends, we must pay attention to guard against theft, close the doors and

windows, lock the door, and do not drive after drinking to ensure the safety of

yourself and your family. We should consciously avoid gambling, drinking, feudal

superstitious activities and indulging in the Internet. We should do more

physical exercise every day and take part in healthy and beneficial cultural and

recreational activities. Pay attention to scientific diet, dont overeat and

take good care of your body.

Give more time to study. Winter vacation has a relatively concentrated time

to be at your disposal. It is suggested that you should arrange a little time

for self "charging". On the one hand, we should sum up the experience and

lessons in the work of this semester and formulate the work plan and objectives

for the next semester; on the other hand, we can calm down to get familiar with

the curriculum standards of teaching subjects and read the textbooks for the

next semester in advance. Read one or two good books, study some education and

teaching theory, constantly enrich, enrich, improve themselves. Let thinking and

practice walk together, let oneself better adapt to the needs of classroom

teaching reform.

Give your family more care. Enjoy the family, our life journey is not

lonely, spread the family, can win the respect of others. During the Spring

Festival, lets be filial to our elders, take care of our younger ones, and keep

in touch with our friends. In particular, we should take care of our bodies,

experience the beauty of human nature and feel a better life in dedication and

care.

Finally, once again, I wish you all a safe, happy, peaceful and meaningful

festival. I wish all staff and their families a happy Spring Festival, all the

best of luck, good health and a happy family!

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.
