planes and high-speed rails. All of these modern transports could offer us a

quick and pleasant travel. Thus, more and more people enjoy traveling very much

these days. In conclusion, modern transportation has completely changed our

Hi! Peter,

I’m glad to know you are having a good time in Chengdu.

TheSpring Festival is the most important festival in China. It is a custom to give lucky money to children. I get lucky money every year. I will put most of it in the bank, and spend the rest on some books. This year is no exception(也不例外) and I also got lucky money.With it, I bought some school things for several poor students in Ningxia，hoping the things can bring some happiness to them.

I hope what I said can help you.

Yours,

Li Hua

As we all know, "Failure is the mother of success." But few people can really understand what the saying means.

In the world, I am sure that no one dare say he hasnt met any trouble all his life. So we must face failure. In fact, failure is not fearful, but important thing is how to face it correctly. Facing failure, people will never take their fate lying down.They will try their best to work harder and harder until at last they succeed.

Not being courageous to face setbacks, people have no chance to enjoy the pleasure of success. So they have nothing to do but feel sad and empty all day and all night. In fact, they lose the chance of success themselves.

My friend, whenever in trouble, please remember, "Failure is the mother of success."

我们都知道,“失败是成功之母。“但真正理解这句话的人却不多。

在世界上,我相信没有人敢说他一生没有遇到任何麻烦。所以我们必须面对失败。事实上,失败并不可怕,但重要的是如何正确地面对它。面对失败,人们将不再由命运摆布。他们会尽最大努力辛勤工作,直到最后他们成功。

不勇敢面对挫折,人就没有机会享受成功的快乐。所以他们无关但感到悲伤和空日夜兼程。事实上,他们失去了成功的机会。

我的朋友,每当遇到了麻烦,请记住,“失败是成功之母。”

[积极面对挫折初中英语作文

When I lived in my hometown, I could play a lot of games with my friends.

Such as I could catch fish in the river, and I could play the game of hide and

seek in the mountain. I like living in the countryside so much, the closeness to

the nature brings me much pleasure. There is a tree in front of my house,

someday, I found bird’s nest in it. So I asked a couple of my friends to climbed

up the tree. We wanted to catch the little bird. But when I saw these lovely

creature, I changed my idea. I did not mean to hurt them. I gave up my plan, I

realized that every life was precious.

My mother, thirty years old, medium tall, slim figure, melon face, long with a bright long hair, every day wearing a ponytail, put in the back of the head to go. A pair of thin long eyebrows with a pair of water Lingling big eyes, high nose bridge with a pair of black box glasses, it is very gentle. I like to see my mother laugh, my mother laughed and exposed a white teeth, looks very good. You do not be confused by the appearance of my mother, but at home, but a "king" it.

I remember once, my mother told me to practice calligraphy words, I reluctantly, absent-minded, bent on watching TV, three times under the two write a few words written, then my mother came over and saw my word , Without any explanation, "snapped ... ... snapped ... ...", gave me two slap, pulled me just wrote the word, kneaded into a ball, torn to pieces, thrown into the trash, pointing to me, reprimanded: " With this attitude, but also want to write a good brush.

I clutching my mother had just hit the red face, silent, two drops of tears from the eyes of the flow out, I re-pick up the pen, seriously began to write. I know my mother is good for me, she often educated me: young and strong do not work, the boss was sad. My mom is a bit impatient, but she is very capable and hardworking. Morning, the day is not bright, my mother to get up early to do breakfast, laundry, and so on when we have a sumptuous breakfast to show in my eyes, fragrant.

How, i have a best mother in the world, envy it!

There is an old saying goes that failure is the mother of success. Everyone

confronts with failures even those famous and successful figures. Some people

say that failure lashes them to work harder. Some think that failures are so

depressing and we should not to make any failures. For me, I cherish failures

very much for we can realize our shortcomings from them.

First of all, we can learn from failure and get more experience. It is

indeed so disappointed when we confront with failure. However, we can always get

some experience from failures and makes us understand our weak point. If we can

learn from failure, then we will avoid such problem in the coming days.

Secondly, the more failures, the more successful we will be. As the old

saying goes that failure is the mother of success. The more failure we make, the

more successful we will be. If we make many mistakes, then we will learn a lot

from them and will do better when we meet the same kind of problems. This means

we will obtain great success if we meet more failures.

All in all, failure is a bad thing for people, but it is a good chance for

us to learn more from it and become successful in the future.

[初中英语作文：公园的星期天

As the drawing presents, there is a man walking across the street absorbedly focusing on his cell phone without noticing the surroundings. This sort of phenomenon is not uncommon and rare in some metropolis, especially among the youngsters.

What the picture illustrates is the prevailing situation that has long existed in todays China. That is the mobile phone obsession. With the advent of information age, people are becoming increasingly fascinated on the electronic products, especially the cell phones. Not surprisingly, you could easily notice that most of us are obsessed in sending messages, playing online games with their mobile phones. It cannot be denied that this phenomenon may negatively impact the relationship among people, and therefore they will become estranged and isolated.

Personally, in view of the overuse of mobile phones, I hold that we individuals should raise the necessary awareness that good relationship are reinforced by sincere and face-to-face communication.

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.
