Besides,compared to the day time, midsummer night is very cool.

When the wind blowthrough me, I feel wonderful. My all day trouble is gone with the wind. I likelooking at the sky in the roof of my house in midsummer night. It is beautiful.

一年当中我最喜欢的是仲夏。白天的时候,天气很热。我们就好像生活在热锅上一样。很不舒服。但是,在晚上,天空很清澈明朗。我可以清清楚楚地看到天上的星星,有时我还能看到又亮又圆的月亮。而且,跟白天相比,仲夏很凉爽。当风吹过我的时候,那感觉是很棒的。一整天的烦恼都随风而逝了。我喜欢在仲夏夜我家屋顶上看天空。很漂亮。

Love is everything. Love is the most brilliant thing in the world. Because

of love, our world turns out to be a sunny place.

We couldnt go without love. For instance, love can help us communicate

with each other very well, love can help us overcome all the difficulties, love

can help us get rid of our unhappiness, love can turn our enemies into our

friends, and our destinies can also be changed by love.

Whats more, love is a bowl of rice for a hungry beggar, love is an

overcoat for a tramp in winter days, love is an umbrella for us in raining days,

love is a stick for the old, love is the best medicine for the sick, love is the

sunlight for the blind, and love is the gospel for the deaf. Without love, our

world is meaningless.

However, love isnt a bunch of flowers or a nice present. Love is a thread

in our coat. Love is inside, making our life warm and comfortable.

My familys house rules story has two principles: one, to be good; Two, on this basis, and strive to do a useful person.

Discipline is not just daughter, more of a tube we adults. From our daughter was born to now, nearly 9 years down, looking back, whatever our parents do good house rules, often daughter also did well; We parents lead the violation, or good house rules, often are punished.

In my home, before the rice then empress to wash hands, wash a face to brush your teeth before going to bed, basic implementation in place; The house rules related to the learning and effective implementation. I basic dont watch TV at ordinary times, do not play games, when they have free reading, try to go out to do outdoor sports, every week the husband read books at home too much at ordinary times, daughter, also frequently twice, read the phrases dictionary and math also enjoy it. Sometimes with a husband see reflection after several times, but there are some rules in our house, do not too ideal, such as "to bring things back where you", "their dirty things packed immediately", "no temper tantrum" and so on, to think of it, because our parents cant set a good example. So, her daughter set rules and implementation rules, also is our parents self-reflection, good chance to start.

Lead by example. Personally, I think in Chinese family education is to teach children more people skills, and school teach more knowledge of child education.

我家的家规故事有两个原则:一,先做个好人;二,在此基础上,再努力做个有用的人。

家规并不只管女儿,更是管我们大人的。从女儿出生到现在,快9年下来,回头一看,凡是我们父母做得好的家规,往往女儿也表现不错;我们父母带头违反、或者言不由衷的家规,常常都是空文。

在我家,饭前便后要洗手、睡前要刷牙洗脸,基本执行到位;与学习有关的家规也有效落实了。我平时基本不看电视、不玩游戏、有空就看书,尽量每周出去做户外运动,老公平时也在家看书多,女儿耳濡目染,也常常手不释卷,读成语词典和做数学题也乐在其中。有时还拿着老公看的三国志看上几遍,可是,我们家还有一些家规,做得不太理想,比如“哪里拿来的东西放回哪里去”、“自己弄脏的东西马上收拾好”、“不能乱发脾气”之类,细想起来,都是因为我们父母不能以身作则。所以,给女儿制定家规、执行家规,也是我们父母的自我反省、重新出发的好机会。

以身作则。我个人以为在中国家庭教育更多则教孩子为人处事的道理,而学校教的更多的是孩子知识方面的教育了。

Born in America, Thomas Edison was a great scientist and inventor. He was once thought to be a boy who was not worth educating. In fact, he was a man full of imagination.

I admire Edison a lot because of his great contribution to the world. He had more than 1,000 inventions. In his lifetime, he was always eager to know how things worked, which helped him to earn the nickname the Wizard of Melo Park .He was also so diligent that he worked day and night. And this explained why he had so many great inventions.

What impresses me most is his famous saying, Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration. Probably I cannot be an Edison myself, but I can be a hard-working learner. From him, I realize the secret to success is not when or where you were born, but what you are doing and how you do it in your life.

When we were children, we often say that I want to grow up, or I want to be

an adult. As children, we cannot do many things, while after we grow up, we can.

However, we often complain that I don’t want to grow up when we become adults

actually.

Firstly, growing up means more responsibilities. We should make a living by

ourselves or we should support our parents when they can’t earn enough money to

make a living.

Econdly, after graduation, we need to work instead of accomplishing

nothing. We should have a target and work for it, so we have pressure on

jobs.

Every coin has two sides. Grow up can also broaden our horizon, offer us an

opportunity to know more about our world, love and protect the important person

in our life. Don’t be afraid of growing up, just be a better person and enjoy

our life.

The Dragon Boat Festival is a lunar (阴历)holiday, occurring (存正)on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month (农历史五月第五天)

The Chinese Dragon Boat Festival is a significant (有意义的)holiday celebrated (庆祝)in China, and the one with the longest history (历史最悠久). The Dragon Boat Festival is celebrated by boat races (龙舟赛) in the shape of dragons. Competing teams (竞争团队) row their boats forward to a drumbeat (击古)racing to reach the finish end first.

The boat races during the Dragon Boat Festival are traditional customs (传统习俗)to attempts to (试图)rescue (搭救) the patriotic poet (爱国诗人)Chu Yuan. Chu Yuan drowned (溺死) on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month in 277 B.C. Chinese citizens now throw bamboo leaves (竹叶) filled with cooked rice into the water. Therefore the fish could eat the rice rather than the hero poet. This later on turned into the custom of eating tzungtzu and rice dumplings(棕子).

The celebrations is a time for protection (防护) from evil (邪恶) and disease (疾病) for the rest of the year. It is done so by different practices such as hanging healthy herbs on the front door, drinking nutritious concoctions (营养品), and displaying (展示) portraits (画像) of evils nemesis(邪恶报应), Chung Kuei. If one manages to (成功做...) stand (直立)an egg on its end at exactly 12:00 noon, the following year will be a lucky one.
