今日是我们到厦门的第二天，我和妈妈还有田依然、黎轩铭和他们的妈妈商量后决定我们今日坐轮渡去鼓浪屿看看，如果好的话妈妈们就决定带我们上鼓浪屿岛上住几天玩。于是我们就先去吃早饭然后到轮渡码头座船到鼓浪屿。

鼓浪屿原名圆沙洲、圆洲仔，因海西南有海蚀洞受浪潮冲击，声如擂鼓，明朝雅化为今名。由于历史原因，中外风格各异的建筑物在此地被完好地汇集、保留，有“万国建筑博览”之称。小岛还是音乐的沃土，人才辈出，钢琴拥有密度居全国之冠，又得美名“钢琴之岛”、“音乐之乡”。

到了鼓浪屿以后我们都想到沙滩挖沙子玩，可是因为天气太热的了，于是妈妈们决定让我们到海边游泳。我们都换上泳衣，带上各自的游泳圈走到海边去游泳。到了海边我看见那海水里有些垃圾很影响我们的心情，可是我们还是游了一会，也算是降降温。看到了这些情况，我深深地感受到爱护环境的重要性，今后我要做一名保护环境的好孩子。

从沙滩上来妈妈给我们每个人都买了一瓶冻成冰的水，我们就咕咚咕咚喝起来。我们三个孩子和淘淘妈妈在那里休息，我妈妈和田依然妈妈去看岛上的宾馆，因为我们明天就要住到岛上。

联系好了岛上的酒店我们就回到厦门的住处休息，到了晚上妈妈们带我们去品尝了厦门的特产海鲜大排档，有虾、螃蟹、鱼、海蛎子等等可多好吃的，好吃极了，我们每个人都吃得非常开心。

Today I found time was a cruel thing。 Whatever man is， time always goes on。

It won’t stay to wait for somebody。 You can’t use anything to exchange time。

Time is also a fair thing。 Although you have a lot of money or you enjoy high

reputation， time won’t leave them more。 Today I found I hadn’t enough time。

Although I have more than a-month holiday， but I found I had a lot of things to

do。 I had a lot of homework to do and I am essential to plete the homework as

soon as I have time。

眺望着湛蓝的海滨，呼吸着新鲜的空气，厦门的日落与海滨我来啦！

在这水天相接的地方，隐藏着无数艘小船。站在远远的白桥上望着，那一艘艘小船的模样千奇百怪。你们瞧，有的像一架停在水里的纸飞机，机翼小巧玲珑，好像马上又要飞起来一样。有的像黑色的长龙，头部大大的，像一口就可以吞下一座小山似的。有的像一顶皇冠，在太阳的金光照射下更加亮堂了。有的中间凹下去，像一个黑元宝。

巨大的浪花拍在一块块被阳光照得通亮的黑灰色礁石上，之后退了回去，形成了朵朵洁白的“小花”，真美丽啊！

金黄的沙滩上，嬉戏着一群群玩耍的小朋友，我也不例外。看，我们玩起了搭桥游戏。我捧了一堆沙，做成了一堵水坝，再找来一根纤细的树枝，做成桥洞。潮水来了，它穿过桥洞，桥却屹立不倒，好开心啊！抬起头，就是那漂亮的，湛蓝的大海。它融合着大家的欢笑声，那层层的波光，仿佛就是用孩子们的笑声汇聚成的珍珠。

最震撼的还是美丽的日落。太阳把万条金丝线射向大海，那妙不可言的美，体现在波光鳞鳞的海面上，体现在被照得亮堂堂的岩石和沙滩上，更体现在像投了好多金币的海天相接处。

我永远忘不了在厦门海滨的美好时光！

这个快乐的暑假，我们一家人去过了很多好玩的地方。比如温州游乐园、厦门鼓浪屿、杭州西湖……我觉得最有趣的地方就是鼓浪屿。

我们一家人先来到厦门，然后坐船去了鼓浪屿。船靠岸，我就蹦蹦跳跳像个小兔子似的下了船，奔向我期盼已久的鼓浪屿。

当我身处在这海天一色的小岛上，我发现我的期盼没有错。因为它和我想象的一模一样，这里又热闹，又有许多好吃好玩的景点。我们到了鼓浪屿的时候，差不多已经中午了。所以我们先去吃了，中午饭然后开始了鼓浪屿的旅游之路。

我们用手机搜索了厦门鼓浪屿好玩的景点。我们首先去了海底世界。海底世界里的鱼多得数都数不清，你如果让我说，我说上三天三夜都说不完。我最喜欢的就是海底世界的海底隧道。海底隧道有两个隧道，第一个隧道里都是小鱼，有的很美丽，有的很难看。第二个隧道都是凶猛异常的大鲨鱼。鲨鱼对着我张开了它那张凶恶的嘴巴，好像在对我说：我要冲破玻璃吃了你。吓得我要马上离开这个恐怖的隧道。

海洋馆出来之后，我们到了钢琴博物馆。那里有着许多古时候的钢琴。这一次可让我开阔了眼界！玩着玩着，时间从我们的身边慢慢流去。眼看就到下午了，可是海边的太阳，还是高高地挂在天空，炎热的天气让我想怎么去海边呢？我们只好去“小小舒”茶馆喝了一碗下午茶。然后，我又去图书馆看书。看着看着，我就不知不觉地睡着了。等我一觉睡醒，已经是傍晚了。再看看海边天空中的太阳已经下山了，终于可以去海边玩了。我们到了海边，看见沙滩上的沙子金黄得像金子；海水蓝得像天空；海面上飞过洁白如雪的海鸥。人们在海水中嬉戏，有的打水仗，有的游泳。那画面就像一副美丽无比的画，美极了！

到了晚上，我们就来到鼓浪屿的小吃街大吃特吃。我们去吃了非常非常多的网红店，我认为最有趣的就是土耳其冰淇淋。土耳其冰淇淋，虽然不是很好吃，但是很好玩。你去买的时候卖家总是变着戏法一样，让你没法拿到冰淇淋。

第二天早上我们就要回去了，我多想再玩一会儿，可是妈妈已经买了回去的车票。我希望下次还可以再来这个好玩又有趣的鼓浪屿。

如果说厦门是我国人尽皆知的旅游胜地，那么厦门大学就是厦门的一颗璀璨闪亮的明珠了！

进入厦门大学后，沿着地图上的路线慢慢地走着，我们来到了芙蓉湖畔，它像一位美丽的少女，岸边的小花小草是她长长的睫毛，两边的柳树便是少女迷人的长发，湖面上两只黑天鹅远远地望去宛如她乌黑发亮的眼睛。湖水清澈见底，水里的小鱼小虾都在欢快的生活。镜子般的湖面上有一片荷花，它们有的含苞待放，有的完全开了，吐出黄色的花蕊。有的还是花骨朵儿。不知何时，天空下起了一阵雷雨，湖面上的荷花在微风荡漾下，跳起了优美的舞蹈，岸上的柳树姑娘也摇摆着它那长长的大辫子。湖面上发出了“滴滴答答”的声音，天空中响起了“轰隆隆”的响声，一场舞会就这样开始了！夏天的雨说来就来，说走就走，不一会儿，雨过天晴，花草更绿，空气更清新了！岸边的花儿刚被雨水洗过，它们白的如雪、粉的似霞、黄的赛金！

日落西山，我依依不舍地向厦门大学告别了，一旁的几棵大树张开了它们那碧绿的身姿。仿佛是想与我拥抱，并向我告别，还欢迎我下次再来吧。

I hope to hold a job that excites me.I want to have a successful career so that I can take care of my family,and the best way to do that is to work in an area that I am interested in,so that I can be constantly motivated.With that condition,I will do my best.Of course,other pleasant qualities include having a nice boss and friendly coworkers,since a comfortable atmosphere is conducive to any process.I also hope that my job will be stable,so I wont have to feel insecure all the time.And if I have to transition,I hope that each job will prepare me well for future challenges.I know that I have the determination and talent to be a good worker.

在7月22日下午，我和妈妈手挽手走进了厦门大学。

迈进厦门大学的大门，就看到一棵棵站得笔直的大树，它们好像一个个绿油油的伞，用茂盛的枝叶装扮着校园。沿着鹅卵石的小路再往前走，就到了大学生的教学楼，一座座大楼高高矗立，伸向蓝天。过了教学楼，就到了厦门大学的操场。啊，真大呀！我从来没见过这么大的操场，这个操场分两边，一边是专门的篮球场，一边是运动场。再往前走就到了学生休闲的地方。一个又圆又大的芙蓉湖，水鸟们在湖上嬉戏，平静的湖面变得生机有趣。湖旁边绿油油的草地上长满了五颜六色的芙蓉花，红的、黄的、白的……五颜六色，美丽极了！这种花虽然没有百合的婀娜，没有玫瑰的多情，却有种特别的芬芳，这芳香比米兰淡雅，比月季浓郁。

看了厦门大学的简介我知道了，厦门大学是1921年陈嘉庚先生创办的。把"自强不息，止于至善"定为校训。旨在激励厦大师生积极进取、努力开拓、追求至善至美。妈妈告诉我，九十年来，一代又一代厦大人在校训的激励下艰苦创业，奋发图强，取得了令人瞩目的成就，赢得了"南方之强"的美誉。

厦门大学，厦门人的骄傲！中国人的骄傲！我要好好学习，走进厦门大学！

10月1日，我和外婆、爸爸妈妈一起兴致勃勃地去厦门游玩。

我们到了厦门，先去集美村，那里绿树成阴，鲜花盛开。听导游介绍说，这里还有一个有名的人物，他叫陈嘉庚，他捐款造了108所学校，我觉得他太伟大了！

第二天，我们又去了鼓浪屿，那里的风景可优美了，有沙滩、有郑成功雕像、有出名的张三疯奶茶店、还有各种各样的小吃店……

第三天，我们跟着导游一起去南普陀寺，大家都想烧香拜佛，保佑外婆身体健康，我考试考好点。到了寺里面，我看到了观音菩萨，还有一些大大小小的叫“八百罗汉”。一座座雕刻得栩栩如生。我希望我们的许愿能实现。

这只是我介绍的一小部分，你们也赶快去厦门游览一番吧，一定会让你们大饱眼福的！

I do not know the reason why some people want to get up late。 They will

never have the opportunity to enjoy (of enjoying) the fresh air and calmness of

the morning。 This is indeed a quite regrettable thing。To rise early is a good

habit (which) we should cultivate。 Why? Because the best time when we can pursue

our studies is in the morning。 In addition， early rising is also good to our

health。 I hope that everybody our knows the reason why we must rise early。

前几天，我和老爸带着一队乱糟糟的人马“杀”到了福建厦门的码头，只见那里车水马龙，行人像流星般地走来走去，大街上有卖点心的、有卖海鲜的、还有卖大饼的，五花八门应有尽有。不过我们来到这里不是为吃的，而是要坐船去那里有名的景点—鼓浪屿。说到要坐船，我就坐立不安，因为昨天新闻报道有一家人在坐船时，船沉了，那家子也都沉入了水底。我默默地望着大海，一声不响。一个同行的哥哥看我不出声，便过来拍了我一下说：“嗨！你在干嘛！”这一拍不要紧，把我吓了一跳。我缓过神来后，便把我的苦闷说了一遍，他哈哈大笑，对我说：“这船肯定会沉！当年泰坦尼克号都沉了，这点大的船怎么会不沉呢！”虽然这都是逗我的话，可在我的心里字字都是可怕的。这时广播叫了起来，让我们上轮船。于是，我便怀着一颗不安的心，拉着老爸的手上了船。

我们找了位置坐下来，接下来就是耐心的等待了，我忐忑地看着外面的景色。突然，船斜了一下，那个哥哥继续吓唬我：“船要沉啦！”我吓得跳了起来，然后一屁股坐在地上，坦然的面对死亡的来临。可我看见的不是死亡，而是那个哥哥用手捂着嘴，一个劲地傻笑。再看窗外，海面平静得像镜子，海上空荡荡的除了远处有几只海鸥在飞，什么都没有。我这才知道，我上了哥哥的大当！再看其他游客，也都看着我一个劲地笑。我涨红了脸，生气地向哥哥扑去，我们瞬间便扭打成一团。这时，老爸突然兴奋地说：“船靠岸了！”我这才舒了口气，快步向岛上走去。

Nowadays, with the development of Internet, people count on the Internet to

do a lot of things. The most common thing is to follow the information they are

interested in. Most people like to write down their comments, while as there is

no law to limit the comment. I always see the negative words. Internet has

become a main way for people to attack others. So horrible it is. We should be a

wise person. The way we respect others decides what kind of person we are. It is

unwise to follow the bad comment and attack others. We need to have our own

judgment and be a nice person.

我来到了厦门，自然要去那风景如画的鼓浪屿，鼓浪屿是旅游胜地，素有“海上花园”美称。这里曾是名族英雄郑成功收复台湾的基地。

鼓浪屿四面环海。碧绿的`海湾，巨轮相衔，长空似洗，万里天空上竟没有一丝白云，和绿色的大海溶在了一起，银燕翱翔。鼓浪屿像一位少女，正借着凉爽而清新的海风，在梳妆打扮呢，好让人们看见最美的面貌。

这里最美的要数鼓浪屿傍晚的时候了，海对岸的小城市，闪着繁华的光，那里华灯璀璨，高大的楼房耸立着，看了就让人觉得豪华，那房子都有不一样的特点，有的是彩色的，有的是圆的，有趣极了！

鼓浪屿还有一种树，叫龙树，这种树，那跟柳条的须像是龙的须，那龙树的须听别人说是龙树的根，那根熟褐色，一阵风吹来，那龙须飘了起来，像树的头发，那褐色的须，你可别看它那么细，那可坚硬了。那种树，我们临海，可没有呢！

鼓浪屿还有龙头路，里面的小吃应有尽有，有赵小姐的馅饼，丸丸串串，古道奶茶······里面的东西算的上是美味佳肴。

我爱厦门，更爱鼓浪屿！

In the Warring States Period, a man in the state of Chu was offering a sacrifice(祭品) to his ancestors. After the ceremony, the man gave a beaker of wine to his servants.

The servants thought that there was not enought wine for all of them, and decided to each draw a picture of snake; the one who finished the picture first would get the wine.

One of them drew very rapidly. Seeing that the others were still busy drawing, he added feet to the snake.

At this moment, another man finished, snatched the beaker(烧杯，大口杯) and drank the wine, saying,"A snake doesnt have feet. How can you add feet to a snake?"

This idiom refers to ruining a venture by doing unnecessary and surplus things.

Today after dinner, the adults were tired, and I volunteered to say, "Mom, Ill do the housework today." Mom is very happy. I put the dishes from the water room, see the rest of the noodles, I said: "Mom, I put the noodles refrigerator?" my mother told me to put cold noodles. And then I began to wash the dishes.

Mother in the side said: "put some detergent, can go to oil, wash clean, and can also sterilize." I quickly washed the bowl, and then I rubbed the table and collected the table. Finally, I also swept the ground clean.

I was tired of doing these housework, I was sweating, but I was happy, mom said I grew up.

一路上，风景优美，桃红柳绿，我们欢声笑语着，在不知不觉中，我们抵达了春游的目的地——厦门科技馆。

一到厦门科技馆，我们就被这里一件件神奇的陈列物品给牢牢地吸引住了。一样样令我们惊讶不以的物品琳琅满目，它们当中有使人难以把握重心的“神奇小屋”，有使人摸不着头脑的“拼图游戏”，有令人流连忘返的“平面排球赛”，还有许许多多让人叫都叫不出名来的奇怪的、有趣的陈列物品。

其中，最令我记忆犹新的物品是一个会静电的台子。工作人员表演时，让一个小女生站在那个会静电的台子上，然后开始放电。你看：那个小女生的头发奇迹般地一根一根竖起来了！一直到停止放电，她的头发才慢慢地倒了下去。那么电在哪呢？工作人员用一根棒子碰了台子旁边的拦网， “劈劈啪啪”的一声，我心中的结马上就打开了。原来，电都全部转移到了网上，台子上没电了，那个小女生的头发就不再竖起来了。这个试验真使我受 益匪浅。

小吃是厦门食俗的一个重要内容。这不仅由于厦门小吃体现了厦门人的想象力和创造性。其品种的丰富多样，全国罕见；也不仅由于厦门小吃的风味独特，令人难忘；更因为对厦门人来说，小吃既可是点心，亦能作正餐，甚至可以上宴席待客。没有一个厦门人不吃小吃，它已经深深溶于厦门人饮食习俗之中，成为一种偏好，一种习惯，一种民风。对于厦门人来说，那深夜街巷里叫的"烧肉粽"，那马路边骑楼下点着"臭十"（乙炔）灯的煎豆子，便是刻骨铭心的故乡印象。可以说，不了解厦门的小吃，就不仅无法了解厦门的食俗，也无法了解厦门人。

据厦门民俗学会近年的调查，目前厦门的小吃大约有200多种，制作售卖小吃的摊点、酒楼、餐厅仅在岛内就有2600多家，许多黄昏之后才出现的流动摊贩尚不计算在内。这么庞大的数目，只能选择其中最具代表性的小吃，最负盛名的摊点、酒楼简略介绍了。

最有名和最普遍的厦门小吃有；土笋冻、烧肉粽、五香、芋包、韭菜盒、芋枣、章鱼、油葱？、卤豆千、卤鸭、蚝仔粥、面线糊、炸枣、糖葱饼、薄饼、沙茶面、鱼丸、蚝仔煎、麻籽、贡鱿鱼、"翻煎"豆干、加滋螺、花螺、芋？炸、蚝仔炸、马蹄酥、炒？条、面茶、虾面、烧豆花、花生汤、炒面线、炒米粉、豆包仔？等等。

土笋冻是用生长于海边滩涂的一种名叫"土蚯"的无脊椎软体小动物加工制作的，晶莹剔透，柔韧嫩脆，鲜甜爽口，尤其是沾上各种佐料，更别具风味。据说，制作上笋冻的"黑土蚯"，全国只有厦门、海沧、安海一带沿海滩涂才有，而以厦门百谷港出产的品质最佳。可惜围海造地，芫当已不再成港，现在的土笋冻只有靠高浦、海沧、安海等地提供原料了。

五香也是极为可口的美味。它用一种专门的豆皮，裹上剁碎的精肉、荸荠、葱等，包成如春饼的一条条，再放下油锅炸成焦黄，切成几段，蘸佐料进食，香、酥、脆、鲜，妙不可言。

蚝仔煎则是选黑耳白肚（黑白对比越强烈，说明越新鲜）的"珠蚝"，拌和青蒜、韭菜、地瓜粉，摊入油锅，两面煎透。讲究一点，还要在入锅后，再摊上搅散的蛋，一道煎熟。起锅后，撒点胡椒，放数叶芫荽，吃时再蘸上芥辣、辣酱、香酷，简直连舌头都会一起吞下去。

虾面的主料是虾和面，然而妙处却不在虾，也不在面，而在汤。先把虾去壳水熟，捞起虾仁，再用这汤熬虾壳，熬了第一遍后，把虾壳过滤出来，捣碎，掺上冰糖再熬。然后和上熬过的猪骨头汤，撒上葱花、蒜末，方才成为虾面汤头。食时，将面搅熟。捞置碗中，放上几只承熟的虾仁和几片猪肉，加上一小匙葱头油及些许蒜泥，再舀进熬好的虾汤，撒上胡椒，味道之鲜美，令人难忘。

糖葱饼，过去有许多小贩挑着担沿街走巷叫卖，现在只有在"好清香"酒家才吃得到了。它是用特制的约五六厘米直径的小春饼皮，包上一小段专门炼制的油葱糖和酸萝卜、葱、蒜、辣酱、莽辣。入口后，甜、酸、辛、辣、咸五味俱全，食欲大振。

沙茶面可算是当今厦门最普遍的小吃了，无论闹市或深巷，几乎无处不有。沙茶面的妙处，也是在汤头。好的沙茶面汤，是用猪的大骨汤加上沙茶辣酱、花生酱等熬成的，又鲜又辣，别具口味。

芋泥、芋枣、芋包，则是把槟榔芋头蒸熟，捣成泥，然后包肉、笋等，用蒸笼蒸过，即成芋包。什么也不包，只加糖，搓成一粒粒如大枣，再油炸，即成芋枣。若是加糖，油炒，则成芋泥。芋泥起锅后，面上油多，很快就不冒烟，但内里却是十分烫，不知底细，就要吃亏。也有咸芋泥，如南普陀素菜的"香泥藏珍"，即把苹泥包上各种菜，整碟或整碗蒸熟，边上再撒些油炸过的酥脆可口的青菜叶丝，吃起来十分可口。

蚝仔粥或蟹粥的功夫，在于米要"粒粒清"，不能煮烂。主要喝稀饭汤。

传统中，一种小吃总是和最受欢迎的某一摊点的店名或主人名字连在一起，如黄则和的花生汤，"好清香"的烧肉棕，"碰记"和"真好味"的鱼丸场，"章记"的虾面，关隘内治姐的美人薄饼，思明北路程阿树的蚝仔煎，二舍庙陈汉益的炸五香，泰山口吴唇的韭菜盒，打锡箔巷叶栋梁和笛仔仙陈金水的土笋冻，福茂街口何金钗的沙茶面，海关边王奕然的油葱？，思明北路猫车的贡鱿鱼，赖厝埕蔡淑贞的芋包，十六崎脚陈玲的麻嵫等等。

岁月流逝，数十年前的这些老字号能留存至今的已经不多。但后起之秀，层出不穷。尤其是80年代以来，八仙过海，各显其能，把小吃又推上了一个新的高潮。

一种潮流是将大众化的小吃"宴席化"，以"好清香"酒楼为代表。像"九龙盘"，借成套餐具为媒介，将九种小吃组成一道风味梅花拼盘，构思相当奇巧。同时将芋包、肉粽、油葱？、夹饼等小吃小型化精致化，使人们在小吃宴席上，一次可以品尝多种小吃。小吃宴，十二道菜，道道都是厦门街头巷尾可见的风味小吃，但又较那些小摊点工料精致，风味更佳。

另一潮流则是将小吃"家常化"。像芋枣、卤鸭、五香、卤豆干、咸？等等，各菜市场都有许多摊点，专卖给顾客带回家做家常饭菜。

无论是小吃的"宴席化"或"家常化"，都表明厦门人对小吃的喜爱是何等深切。相信厦门的小吃还会再发展，发展得更丰富多彩，更令人难忘。
