Guangzhou is the capital of Guangdong Province. Its a large modern city

that develops fast. There are many tall buildings in Guangzhou. Most of them are

office buildings. I hope I can work in them one day. The streets are clean and

wide. You nearly cant see rubbish in the streets. Citizens like cooking very

much, especially soup. Cantonese cuisine is one of the most popular cuisines in

China that cater to many peoples taste. Guangzhou citizens friendly welcome

people from all the country even all over the world with their delicately cooked

cuisines. This is a direct way to show their hospitality. In short, Guangzhou is

a fantastic city that is worthy of visiting.

Yesterday was Sunday ,the weather was sunny.And my friends asked me to go to the park with them.We went to the park by bike,and brought some foods and fruits with us .

The park was very quiet ,and we saw many old persons sang songs or dance in it.We looked for a long time .Then we went to see the beautiful flowers and also took some photoes .

At last ,we sat down on the glasses and had a picnic.

We all had a good time yesterday.

i am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation.

five score years ago, a great american, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the emancipation proclamation. this momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. it came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity.

but one hundred years later, the negro still is not free. one hundred years later, the life of the negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. one hundred years later, the negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. one hundred years later, the negro is still languished in the corners of american society and finds himself an exile in his own land. and so weve come here today to dramatize a shameful condition.

in a sense weve come to our nations capital to cash a check. when the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the constitution and the declaration of independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every american was to fall heir. this note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the "unalienable rights" of "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." it is obvious today that america has defaulted on this promissory note, insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. instead of honoring this sacred obligation, america has given the negro people a bad check, a check which has come back marked "insufficient funds."

recently, with the increasing busy life of our contemporaries, the loneness of the old ones has been existent as a widespread socail phenomena,which is really worth a plenty of social attention.

there are a couple of principal factors for this issue .most importantly ,it is because the young are so engaged with their work and study that it is difficult for them to find time visiting their old generations .furthermore, the unemployment of old people is another influential ground for their loneness since they may have too much free time and dont know what to do .

since the old generations have made great contribution to the society ,so,they should be respected ,accepted and cared .as for me ,they are at leats two ways to resolve this problem. first ,the old ones can raise pets like dogs or cats to have a accompany ,also, they can have a walk in the park,last, the young should care them and find time together with them as possible .

I opened the "our festival", the first thing I saw is the introduction of the Spring Festival. Spring Festival is one of the oldest festivals in our country. Where does my hometown show the atmosphere of the Spring Festival? Lets look at it.

Before the Spring Festival, I saw on TV that the meals in the hotel were all booked. It shows that everyone is reunited with their family. 10 days before the Spring Festival, I noticed that the traffic in the train was getting bigger and bigger, and I couldnt even buy the tickets. What was the matter? It turns out that all people in other places want to go home and celebrate the Spring Festival. So, the flow of people home is getting higher and bigger.

Before the Spring Festival, I found that there are a lot of people who sell fireworks in the street, arent there? The traditional customs of our country during the Spring Festival! On the night of the Spring Festival, in the sound of thunderous firecrackers, fireworks flashes up and radiates a variety of gleaming rings in the night sky. Some are like chrysanthemums, some are like waterfalls, others are like big trees and golden lights. Some are like small lanterns full of sky. They are really gorgeous. Thousands of spectators are cheering with loud cheers.

After the Spring Festival, the people of our country should have an atmosphere of red and red fire and joy and bustle. You see, small red couplets, firecrackers red, red paper-cut, the old man for children red envelopes, new clothes, children red, paste “ Fu ” the word red, red lanterns and red, Chinese junction is red … … … … the whole country a piece of red.

The Spring Festival is celebrating the festival, more is a good day for thousands of households together, in this new years day, people in happiness and peace with a day every year, countries better every year.

I also like playing badminton very much. I am determined to learn from Lin Dan and grow up to win glory for my motherland.

English is one of my best subjects and I started learning English when I

was ten years old. But at the very beginning, listening seemed a little

difficult for me. So I have been doing a lot of listening practice, such as

listening to tapes, watching English TV programs. And I found it really helped a

lot. In fact, there are some more helpful ways to learn English well. For

example, I enjoy singing English songs and I want to join an English club or

find a pen pal from English-speaking countries. I believe that nothing is

impossible if you put your heart into it。

Last summer holiday, I went to Beijing for a week. The first day when I took off at the capital airport , it gave me the first feeling was cleanand tidy. The people in Beijing were very friendly.

When I was young my father would kime every night and sing to me as I awoke. He made me feel so special. I knew that my father loved me. It made me feel strong enough to do almost everything.

He got sick, but strength(力气) kept him alive. He loved me so much. He gave up years of his life caring for me, his own son, who was still a little boy. Day and night he struggled(努力) for years with my study and life,Despite disease of his own, he still stood by my side caring for me and comforting me until I was more healthy and happy.

A few years have passed, and the life has changed a lot. But the love for my father won’t change and it will never end.I love my father forever!

My father is a kind man. He is not very tall but he is a man of perseverance. He works very hard and his services are highly appreciated.

My father is a man of devotion. Every morning he.gets up the earliestmake breakfast for us. In the evening, he is always the late to come back home.At weekends, he always takes us to go outing in his car. He is a man of few words, but he often says to me “A little learning is a dangerous thing”. I will always remember these words.

Dear leaders and fellow students,

Everybody is good!

It is my great honor to stand here and participate in the election of the monitor. I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to you for your support. First of all, I would like to introduce myself to you: my name is tao league. As a freshman at the university, I am one of the leaders of the department of health.

As a child, my father once said to me: do things with your feet on the ground and do them one step at a time. Therefore, I went from a middle school student to the first year of the university to enter this sacred place, I deeply feel the opportunity is hard-won, need to cherish. It is this power that makes me feel confident when I stand here.

Of course, it is not enough to have confidence, but also to have certain ability. From childhood, I will not be able to plan activities independently. I will never come to the meeting, from bad to good, and I will complete each work with confidence and modesty.

In middle school, I served as monitor and President of the student union. At work, I consciously cultivate my ability of cooperation and coordination, can I have a sincere cooperation with others, and to coordinate the relationship between the good students, dare to bold to bad behavior management, never soft, therefore, won the praise of teachers and students. I often look at our class cadres from the perspective of my classmates. Talk with your classmates on Saturdays and Sundays. Learn about their personalities, thoughts and hobbies, listen to their voices, and listen to their Suggestions and opinions. I always try to organize activities from their point of view, so the class activities are always in full swing. But "man to err, to err is human." and I also made a mistake, but I dare to face their own errors, from the students and the teachers help humbly accept criticism, and correct the mistake, and never allowing yourself to fall for the second time in the same place.

Im running here today. I hope to become school leaders and students in our class between the bridge of the mind, as a bond between teachers and students, and become a real service for students, the students really love it, also want to exercise their abilities, give yourself a stage to show ability. Compared with others, I feel I have more self-confidence, because I am an unyielding person, I have a real sense of responsibility and enthusiasm for our class. Of course, if I am not elected, I will work as hard as I can and will do better to support the work of the new presidium. Because I love this group, because of love, I will do my best. If I am lucky enough to be elected, I will draw lessons from the previous and the experience of the presidium, further carry forward the glorious tradition of the he, seeking truth from facts of service for students, and will work with the young students, the unity cooperation, advancing with The Times, bold reform, give full play to our proper role in our class, let it become a veritable group.

Finally, I sincerely hope that you can believe me, support me and give me this opportunity to demonstrate my ability.

I will paint a beautiful blueprint for the college campus tomorrow, in which I will spend the spring sweat in our sky. Im sure our class will be better tomorrow...

三、范文储备

1、It have been discussed for a long time that how to deal with the uncivilized behaviors during the travel, such as write on the place of historic interests, or claim to old trees. This kind of things happened in China more often than any other countries. What can we do to prevent those actionsThough we have advocate education of the tourists for years, the situation was not better than be imagined. In my opinion, we still have to encourage the education of our tourists, but with some change. For example, we should not only disseminate “Don’t Do Sth.”, but also with the reason and an explanation that it is not cool to sign names or words everywhere, in the contrary, we have to ashamed of that. Make a comparison between foreigners and us can also increase our consciousness.

consider... 考虑

2、7天长假好吗 （旅游途中人满为患的拥堵等）？

Some people can use the seven days reading books or studying, and you know when they are working, they dont have time to do it.

Since most people dont have other vacation time, everybody is travelling during the week-long holidays, so at the beginning and the end of the holidays, place such like airports, train station, long-distance bus station are often over-crowd, for example, in last labor day holiday i went to beach. I want to enjoy the beauty of the seashores and was planning to swim, but when I reached the long-distance bus station, I found that people were everywhere. I swore I would never go travelling in a week-long holiday again.

3、自助游还是报团游

With peoples living standard raised more and more in the recent years, they tend to choose travelling in their spare time. Some people like to choose package tour, while others prefer independent tour.

Actually, both package tour and independent tour have their own advantages and disadvantages, which is largely dependent on peoples time, money, and the number of people who plan to be on a tour.

As for me, I am in favor of package tour, because the travel agency will help me arrange for anything about the tour, including the tickets for the train or airplane, for hotels, and for sightseeing. And what I should do is just enjoy the whole journey without worrying about the details.

Everyone has a list of destinations they promise themselves to visit during their lifetime. People travel for endless reasons, whether its to experience different cultures, see natural wonders of the world, or learn about heritage. All these ideas are exciting options, because in every situation, you will be exposed to something unfamiliar and life-changing.

每个人都有一堆承诺自己此生要去的地方。人们旅行的原因有很多，有的是要体验不同的文化、看看世界上的自然奇观，或者了解别处的传统。所有这些想法都令人激动，因为无论是哪种情况，你都会体验到从未体验过的、改变人生的东西。

I recently had a discussion with someone about my study abroad experience. They listened as I recounted my explorations around Italy and my additional travels. "I would love to do something like that," they said, "but I feel like everyone goes to Europe now. Its not really that unique anymore".

我最近和几个人谈论了我在国外的求学经历，他们听我描述在意大利的经历和其他旅行时说：“我也想那样做，但我感觉现在大家都去欧洲，没什么特别的了。”

I was pretty shocked by such a statement. Since when was traveling anywhere not cool enough? Naturally, the older you get, youre going to know more people who have traveled to various parts of the world, but does standing underneath the Eiffel Tower have less value to me because so many travelers have done the exact same thing? Or climbing and taking a picture up at the top of the Florence Duomo?

听到这样的话我很震惊，从什么时候开始出去旅行没意思了？当然，随着你年龄的增长，你会认识越多在世界不同地方旅行过的人，但是难道就因为很多人都曾站在埃菲尔铁塔下，所以这样做对我来说就没有意义了吗？或者说爬上圣母百花圣殿照张照片就没意思了？

My answer: absolutely not. Reading travel blogs and staring at photographs is helpful and enjoyable, but nothing close to actually experiencing that place. The truth is, every new destination is unique, and its nearly impossible to make a "wrong" decision.

我的答案是：大错特错。读旅行博客、看照片都很有帮助，也很有乐趣，但跟亲身经历绝对不一样。其实每个新目的地都很独特，选择任何目的地都不会错。

It is important to focus on your own personal journey, not the experience of others. Every city, state, and country, has thousands of different things to offer. The places you will visit all have fascinating people, delicious different kinds of food youve never tried before, and unbelievable history that will blow your mind. Traveling will nevertheless change you and leave an imprint on the way you see the world - no matter where you go.

重点是要关注自己的亲身经历，而不是别人的经历。每个城市、州和国家都有数不胜数的新鲜事物。你要去参观的地方都有有意思的人、你从未品尝过的美味食物和令你痴迷的难以置信的历史。旅行仍然会改变你，在你周游世界之路上留下印记——无论你去哪儿。

Whether the destinations we desire are seemingly simple or seemingly obscure in the eyes of others, every experience has its own unique value. Keep your adventures authentic while also utilizing the opinions and advice of others. In every new destination, you will find a new part of yourself. Truly, no destination is the wrong place to go.

无论我们想去的地方在别人眼中看似简单还是无聊，每次经历都有它独特的意义。坚持自己想去的地方，同时也要听取别人的想法和建议。在每个新地方你都会发现一个新的自己。真的，没有一个地方是不该去的。

Early in the morning, I opened the calendar. At first, its the Dragon Boat Festival.

I put on my clothes and went into the kitchen. Ah! You can smell the flowers. I asked my mother curiously, "whats the Dragon Boat Festival coming from, Mommy?"

My mother smiled and said to me: "once upon a time there was a poet named Qu Yuan, he is very patriotic. One day, Qu Yuan heard that the state and defeated, then jumped the river. After that, people put the rice regiment into the river and let the fish and shrimp no longer eat the body of Qu Yuan. Since then people put rice into his love the taste of the regiment, with reed leaves wrapped and tied with a rope, such as dumplings. At the same time, people also have to play dragon boats. "

I asked again, "what do you want to do, mom, on the Dragon Boat Festival?"

And she said to me, "there is it in it! We want to eat sweet dumplings, Dragon Boat Race fun, drink realgar Yellow Wine, of course, the people also want to eat yellow".

I asked my mother: "what is the five yellow"?

Mother said: "five to eat five things. The first is the yellow fish, the second is the cucumber, the third is the salted duck egg yolk, the fourth is the yellow bean dumplings, and the fifth is the realgar bar.

Listen to mother like this, I have a lot of knowledge!

Dear teacher:

Hello, time flies, time Rusuo, imperceptibly, and to welcome the new years day. Looking through the day, in your care and teaching, I grew up a one year old. The little things bit by bit, show in my mind. We have classes, read, do you always, always with us in the together.

I love my family, in this world full of love, there is a happy family of three, my father, mother and i..

My father works in the Bureau of culture. He is competent, he can fix it, he will invent small inventions, and he can cook very well. Mother works in the hospital, very hard-working, every day cleaning the house clean.

My family lives in the Jinta area, 120 square meters, Sanshierting house, the living room is green, people feel very fresh, my bedroom is pink, feel very warm, mom and dads bedroom is light purple, the feeling is very beautiful.

Although my family is not so rich, but every day I live a dull and happy day. I love my family and love my father and mother more.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, a farmer in the State of Song was one day working in the fields when he saw a rabbit bump into a tree stump(树桩) accidentally and break its neck.

The farmer took the rabbit home, and cooked himself a delicious meal.

That night he thought, I neednt work so hard. All I have to do is wait for a rabbit each day by the stump.

So from then on he gave up farming, and simply sat by the stump waiting for rabbits to come and run into it.

This idiom satirizes(讽刺，挖苦) those who just wait for a stroke of luck, rather than making efforts to obtain what they need.

The Fascinating Moonrise

There is a hill near my home that I often climb at night. The noise of the city is a far-off murmur. In the hush of dark I share the cheerfulness of crickets and the confidence of owls. But it is the drama of the moonrise that I come to see. For that restores in me a quiet and clarity that the city spends too freely.

From this hill I have watched many moons rise. Each one had its own mood. There have been broad, confident harvest moons in autumn; shy, misty moons in spring; lonely, white winter moons rising into the utter silence of an ink-black sky and smoke-smudged orange moons over the dry fields of summer. Each, like fine music, excited my heart and then calmed my soul.

But we, who live indoors, have lost contact with the moon. The glare of street lights and the dust of pollution veil the night sky. Though men have walked on the moon, it grows less familiar. Few of us can say what time the moon will rise tonight.

Still, it tugs at our minds.

If we unexpectedly encounter the full moon, huge and yellow over the horizon, we are helpless but to stare back at its commanding presence. And the moon has gifts to bestow upon those who watch.

I learned about its gifts one July evening in the mountains. My car had mysteriously stalled, and I was stranded and alone. The sun had set, and I was watching what seemed to be the bright-orange glow of a forest fire beyond a ridge to the east. Suddenly, the ridge itself seemed to burst into flame. Then, the rising moon, huge and red and grotesquely misshapen by the dust and sweat of the summer atmosphere, loomed up out of the woods. Distorted thus by the hot breath of earth, the moon seemed ill-tempered and imperfect. Dogs at nearby farmhouse barked nervously, as if this strange light had wakened evil spirits in the weeds.

But as the moon lifted off the ridge it gathered firmness and authority. Its complexion changed from red, to orange, to gold, to impassive yellow. It seemed to draw light out of the darkening earth, for as it rose, the hills and valleys below grew dimmer. By the time the moon stood clear of the horizon, full-chested and round and of the colour of ivory, the valleys were deep shadows in the landscape. The dogs, reassured that this was the familiar moon, stopped barking. And all at once I felt a confidence and joy close to laughter.

The drama took an hour. Moonrise is slow and serried with subtleties. To watch it, we must slip into an older, more patient sense of time.

To watch the moon move inflexibly higher is to find an unusual stillness within ourselves. Our imaginations become aware of the vast distance of space, the immensity of the earth and the huge improbability of our own existence. We feel small but privileged.

Moonlight shows us none of life’s harder edges. Hillsides seem silken and silvery, the oceans still and blue in its light. In moonlight we become less calculating, more drawn to our feelings.

月升魅无穷

在我家的附近有座小山， 我常在晚间爬上山去。此时，城市的喧嚣成了遥远的低语。在这黑夜的静谧中，我尽情地分享蟋蟀的欢乐，感受猫头鹰的自信。不过，我上山是来看月出的，因为这可以让我的内心重新感到被城市消耗殆尽的平静与清新。

在这座山上，我欣赏过许多次月亮升起的景象。每一次月的姿容性情都不同。秋天，满月如轮，充满自信;春天，月亮清雾迷蒙羞羞答答;冬天，银白色的月亮挂在漆黑的、悄无声息的夜空中，显得那样孤寂;夏天，桔*的月似被烟尘笼罩，俯瞰干燥的田野。每一种月亮，都像美妙的音乐，颤动我的心灵，令我的灵魂平静。

但我们这些深居室内的人，已与月亮失去了联系。城市中耀眼的街灯和污染性烟尘遮住了夜空。虽然人类已在月亮上行走过，但月亮对我们却更加陌生了。现在已很少有人能说出今晚月亮何时升起。

但无论怎样，月亮依然打动我们的心灵。

如果我们偶然遇见一轮黄灿灿的满月高高挂在空中， 我们都会禁不住抬头凝望她那高贵的仪容。而月亮会向那些注视她的人赐予厚礼。

我得到她的厚礼是在山间七月的一个夜晚。我的车突然无缘无故地熄了火，将我孤身一人困在山中，束手无策。太阳已经落山，我注视着东边山头涌起的一团桔红色的明光，好像森林起火一般。突然，山头自己也似乎燃起火焰，一会儿，一轮又大又红的月亮从树林中慢慢现出身来，夏天空气中弥漫的灰尘与湿气令它显得异常怪异。大地灼热的呼吸扭曲了它，它变得非常暴躁，不再完美。附近农舍的狗紧张地狂吠起来，因为这团奇怪的光亮叫醒了野草中的魔鬼。

然而当月亮缓缓从山头升起，它聚集了越来越多的坚定与威严;它的面孔由红色变成了桔红，又变成金色，最后成为沉静的*。它似乎吸收了正在渐渐转暗的大地的光亮，因为随着它的升起，下面的丘陵山谷变得愈来愈朦胧。等到皓月当空，满月如盘，闪烁出象牙般的清辉，山谷便成了风景中一片幽深的阴影。那些狗明白了那团光原来是他们熟悉的月亮，也安定下来，停止了吠叫。霎时间，我也觉得信心倍增，心情舒畅，几乎笑了起来。

这奇特的景观持续了一个小时。月出是缓慢而充满神奇的。观看月出，我们必须回到一种古老的、耐心的时间观念中去。观看月亮不可阻挡地升上天空，会让我们找到内心的无比安宁，我们的想象力能让我们看到宇宙的辽阔和大地的广袤，能让我们忘掉自己的存在。我们觉得自身渺小，但又深感大自然的厚待。

月色下，我们看不到生活中坚硬的棱角。山坡在月光下如同笼上了一层柔和的银纱;大海在月光下宁静碧蓝;我们在月光下也不再像白日那般心计来往，而是沉醉于自然的情感中。
