Many classmates ask me about my plan for summer holiday. How I wish I could have a colorful and fruitful holiday, so I have decided to do a part-time job during the summer vacation. On the one hand, I can earn some pocket money by doing a part-time job. I can spend them freely, because they are earned by myself. On the other hand, I can accumulate some practical experience by doing a part-time job. They can’t be learned in the class or from text books. Besides, I will go over my study and do some preview. I don’t want to waste the summer holiday.

Dear Mother,

Your hard work!

At the moment whether you are in the high temperature machine room in the

hands to mechanically operate the machine; At the moment, whether you have been

too busy to think about me in school; At this moment the midnight bell is about

to strike, whether you are still empty belly, endure the roar of machinery in

busy overtime, I clearly see your swarthy face has a trace of years, sweat beads

gathered into a stream winding down...

Mom, Im afraid Im going to lose sleep tonight because I made an

"unforgivable" mistake. I have slapped myself several times, but the thought of

your frail figure is too much for my conscience to bear. In order to make a

living, you and your father work away from home all the year round. This year,

you were going to accompany me to study. "Sophomore year, key!" I know this is a

decision you and Dad have made after much thought and consideration. Considering

the situation at home, I refused.

I bought you a ticket to go away with tears in my eyes, and very

reluctantly put you on the train, I can clearly see the tears twinkling in your

eyes. Mom, I dont envy others wearing brand clothes, wearing brand jewelry; I

dont envy them having their parents pick them up every day; I dont envy them

eating nutritious breakfast prepared by their parents every day.

Although I can only with boiled water, eating steamed buns, but I know that

my mother gave me love is not lost to anyone. Mother you have been told me to

pay attention to nutrition, improve food, but I learned from the mouth of your

fellow villagers that you drink porridge with pickles every day, today is the

weekend, a week of steamed bread I want to do a la carte; My shoes are broken,

my thumbs are "happy", I want to buy a pair of sneakers at a reduced price;

Mid-term exam is coming soon, I learn not solid enough, want to go to Xinhua

bookstore around. So, I chuang the only two hundred dollars, this is my hard

work, under the pillow has been pressed flat, I know three years when the money

is much, I dont want to old to you for money, and brother next year will rise

the third year.

Walk in the street, those common sneakers also want 30, 50 yuan, later I

still wear old shoes into the Xinhua bookstore, come out, it is dusk, into the

vegetable market, I picked a jin of cabbage, a jin of carrots. This time, I

spent $2.70. But What I never expected, mother, was that when I took the money

that night, it was gone. Two hundred dollars just disappeared, And I broke down,

and it felt like the sky was falling down, and I went crazy and searched

everywhere I went today, but... Mom, Im sorry to you, and dad, when I was going

to tell you, but you called to tell me that you were injured, accidentally cut

by the machine on the hand, you let me how to open my mouth! I didnt have a

night class, I cried, and cried happily on the playground for a whole night.

The pressure on study, the loneliness in life, the condemnation in my

heart, the pain of missing my loved ones, mom, can you understand my mood now?

Mom, I miss you.

Your daughter

I like to watch movies so much. Since I was very small, I have watched a

lot of movies. Some people think that it is a waste of time on this amusement,

then I can tell them they think in the wrong way. Watching movies is a good way

to learn things. When I finish watching the movie, I will scan the comments on

the Internet, then the analysis of the movie helps me understand the movie

better. Whats more, I also learn the culture. Like the movie Mummy, I learn the

Egypt culture. When I search more information, I feel like reading a history

book. Watching movie is a funny way to learn knowledge.

Dear Santa Claus,

Im Eddie. Ive been good for the past year. Very good! I want a crocodile

doll, and I want everything I want. Its up to you and the elves. My brothers

name is Jaxton, and Im sure hell grow up a lot by Christmas. Get him some

diapers. When I was three years old, he once peed in my mouth and I vomited. Get

mom a new breast pump. Get my dad a new pair of pants and pants. I love Rudolph

in the reindeer, Elation, dancer. What flavor of biscuit would you like?

I love you... Am I great?

Love, Eddie

Of course, there are those who feel that Santa cant deliver on his

promise, such as this one...

2018年1月28日寒风凛冽、细雨蒙蒙……但是这并没有浇灭我游玩的热情！今天妈妈带我来到了厦门万石植物园，让我领略了大自然的神奇！最先让我看见的是一片绿，有深有浅，一棵棵雪松像高大挺拔的卫士一样，张开手臂，特别威武。还有冬日里盛开的月季花，特别矮，花也开的特别小，像美丽的小女孩，特别可爱。还有各种各样我从未见过的植物！我们一起来看看吧？

超大的仙人球，你们见过吗？

来比一比我和仙人掌谁更高！

细雨蒙蒙，运气很好哦，植物园的热带雨林喷雾开了呢，雾蒙蒙，我们像进入了仙境！我和弟弟差点迷路了呢。

这个是什么？那张卡片是它的身份证，可是我不认识第一个字，你们知道吗？一起翻开字典查查吧！

白星，毛茸茸的，远远的看有点像我们的永安小吃“芋包”吗？好想吃一口啊！

第二天，我们来到了海底世界！里面有许多各种各样的海底生物，里面展示了海洋淡水鱼350多种近万尾。有五彩缤纷的活珊瑚；濒临绝种的大海龟；难得一见的澳洲海龙、海马；亚马逊的吃人鱼、海象；印尼的巨鲨、石斑鱼……有一种叫叶海龙的，它的身体由骨质板组成，长有许多像海藻一样的附肢，它会把自己伪装成海藻，躲避敌害。还有我一直喜欢的企鹅，胖嘟嘟的，走起路来一摇一摆的，太可爱了！还有许多许多你们没有见过的海底生物呢，海底世界真是太奇妙了！

坐船出发去海底世界咯！

七彩小鱼，我也好想进去和它们一起游泳！

这是胖乎乎的海豹，后面它还有表演呢，它会翘起尾巴游泳，还会用头顶球呢！

快看快看，这就是我一直喜欢的企鹅！

1月30日下午，我们来到了厦门灵玲马戏团，这里像动物园一样，有好多动物呢，好多品种是我在三明动物园都没有见过的，除了有玩皮可爱的猴子，有威风凛凛的大狮子，笨重的狗熊，还有狡猾可恶的狐狸……最有意思的要算金丝猴了，他一会儿从这棵树转眼间跳到了另一棵树上，一会儿把它自己红红的屁股向我们展览呢！到了晚上我和妈妈一起看了马戏表演。他们表演了：空中飞人、小丑、俄罗斯舞蹈、狗熊滑冰、倒立、骑自行车等等。我最喜欢小丑的表演，他是外国人，老是让我们开心。他们的表演可以用一句话来形容，台上一分钟，台下十年功。我觉得小时候的生活是爸爸妈妈给我们创造的。我们长大了要自己创造美好的明天！

憨态可掬的大狗熊！

威风凛凛的东北虎！

这是谁呢？这是小熊猫，它像是想出来跟我一起玩！

号角吹响，表演开始咯，只顾着看忘记拍照了……

今年夏天我与爸爸还有爸爸的一些同事一块儿到了著名的“鹭岛”————厦门。

一来到厦门，映入眼帘的是些美丽的高楼大厦。厦门的街道，很干净，没有一点垃圾；厦门的马路，很宽敞，又很明亮。不向我们这，马路上到处都是垃圾。

我们的第一站是厦门著名的鼓浪屿。有人说：“到了厦门不到鼓浪屿，你这次就白来了。我们先去了素有海上花园的菽庄花园，里面的花五颜六色，美丽极了！之后我们去了素有音乐之岛的钢琴博物馆，里面的钢琴有的小，有的大，里面的钢琴是不能碰的，因为这些钢琴多非常昂贵，有些价值上千万。

下午我们去了胡里山炮台，那儿陈列着抗台名将——郑成功收复台湾时用过的其中一门大炮。说起这门大炮的威力可真不小，郑成功收复台湾时，就凭借了这门大炮，杀得敌人哭爹喊娘，最终登上了台湾岛，收复了台湾。里面放的世界炮王———克虏伯大钢炮，那威风凛凛的架势，真让人觉得是站在高高山岗上的大猛虎，我发现旁边还有一架小车，上面放着一颗四十公分长的炮弹，我想在那纷飞的战火年代，这件宝贝发挥了巨大的作用，杀伤了许多敌人，为我们杀死了多少欺负以前我们的人。

鼓浪屿的海滩可好玩了！有的小孩子看见海滩就像不要命似的冲了过去，一踩，沙子金黄细软，脚踩在上面，是多么的舒痒，我站在海边，等待着海浪涌过来，就往上一跳，躲过海浪的“袭击”。尽管我把裤脚卷到了腿跟，可顽皮的浪娃娃却像故意捉弄我似的，一会儿就打湿了我的裤子。

那的天空格外的蓝，白云在天空漫游着，太阳烘烤着大地……

第三天我们去了厦门有名的景点——南普陀。这是一个佛教圣地，人们到这里来不仅仅是参观旅游，更多的是能求得平安如意！普陀寺旁边就是厦门大学，据说这是全国最漂亮的大学，还这是名不虚全，依着普陀山，傍着大海，还有优美的校园环境，能不漂亮吗？

8月13号下午我们乘坐17点左右的动车回宁波，这三天的厦门之旅就这样结束了！

—早上7点半，我们早早地来到了动车站，坐着漫长动车赶往厦门，到了旅馆已是14点多了，安顿好后，我们就开始前往第一个目标——胡里山炮台。

厦门胡里山炮台景区系国家级文物保护单位、全国aaaa级旅游景区，始建于1894年，是中国洋务运动产物，历史上被称为“八闽门户、天南锁钥”。炮台用花岗石条建造，并以乌樟树汁和石炭、糯米拌泥沙夯筑而成，坚固异常。用优质花岗岩筑成城门、城墙、城楼、护城壕、清兵营房和炮台等保留完整，是研究我国海防军事史、洋务运动史和兵工构筑技术珍贵史迹。

我们先走了一百多阶台阶，就来到了炮台大门，进去后首先映入眼帘是十几门红夷大炮，上面虽锈迹斑斑，但还能看出当年威力。除了红夷大炮外，还有回旋炮、榴弹炮等等。其中最有名是1893年购自德国克虏伯兵工厂一门28生（280mm）克虏伯大炮，至今保存完好，有效射程可达16000米（最远射程19760米），花了白银10万两才购得（含海运及保险费）。该炮曾在1937年抗日保卫战中击沉日军“箬竹”型13号舰，首开中国战区击沉日舰辉煌战绩。

到了16点，发炮表演开始了，由“一品大人”带队军团开始了表演。他们首先列队舞枪，登上高台后先擦洗炮台，然后瞄准目标，再装上，最后发炮。“轰”！我们本以为只是装样子炮弹还真被打了出去，大家都不约而同地捂住了耳朵。

离开胡里山炮台后，逛了厦门大学，吃了当地海鲜，真是快乐。

Viewing vs.Reading

The pace of reading, clearly,depends entirely upon the reader. He may read

as slowly or as rapidly as he can or wishes to read. If he does not understand

something, he may stop and reread it, or go in search of elucidation before

continuing.

The reader can accelerate his pace when the material is easy or less

than interesting, and slow down when it is difficult or absorbing.

If what he

reads is moving, he can put down the book for a few moments and cope with his

emotions without fear of losing anything.

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。

第一天，我们一大早先来到了福建省唯一一所“985”大学——厦门大学。

进入厦门大学，我们先来到了芙蓉湖，湖边种着几棵树，尤其是那棵落地生根的大榕树，已经有七百多年的历史啦！湖面像一面干净的镜子，湖里居住着两只黑天鹅，它们有时在津津有味地吃东西，有时又好像优雅地在跳圆舞曲，还有的时候在窃窃私语，仿佛有颗爱心正对着我们呢！突然，其中一只黑天鹅发出了一声动听的鸣叫声，过了一会儿，另一只也发出了同样的声音。你听，它们时而高亢激昂，时而委婉深沉，时而欢乐奔放，时而浑厚低沉……接下来，我们又去了情人谷、芙蓉餐厅……

午饭后，我们又坐车轮渡来到了厦门最著名的音乐之城——鼓浪屿。

鼓浪屿之所以不叫鼓浪岛，原因在于它的面积只有1。9平方公里，达不到岛的最低2平方公里标准，所以只能称为“屿”。“鼓浪”两字来源是取“鼓浪石”中的两字。让我们印象最深的是：鼓浪屿上的畲族博物馆，虽然不怎么出名，但却让我流连忘返。畲族的男孩在十岁时就要为自己打银器；另外，畲族的女孩要到结婚的时候，她们的爸爸就会提前五年的时间给她绣嫁衣，所以，中国有句民谣：世上只有妈妈好，可畲族的爸爸也很好。

第二天一早我们又驱车经过了蜿蜒曲折的山路来到了厦门附近的永定土楼，有侨福楼，承启楼，五福楼……其中最有名的要数土楼王——承启楼，又名天助楼，据说在造土楼的时候，五十多天没有下雨，所以老百姓们又叫它为天助楼，顾名思义，老天神助。天助楼建于明朝，有300多年的历史，一共有4层楼，它墙厚最厚可达1。8米，越高越薄，每往上一层就减少20厘米，所以最高一层只有1。2米厚，而土楼的最下面一层是由石块和泥土堆砌而成，和其它三层楼不同的是它没有窗户，据说是为了抵御当时的强盗，小偷和野兽。有个传说当时有个小偷进去偷东西三天三夜没有逃出来，可想而知土楼王的防御能力有多强了。土楼的结构很奇怪，从外到里4圈围绕而成，第一圈是用作厨房做饭之用，第二圈是储存粮食，第三圈用来接待客人，第四圈是用来做红白喜事的地方。

我们在回厦门的路上，还顺便参观了另外一个景点——云水谣，风景很美，就是我们时间来不及了，没有细细欣赏就回去了。

总而言之，这次的厦门旅游让我印象深刻，非常开心！

周五，我们期盼已久的秋游活动终于到来了。今年，我们学校组织去“厦门老院子 ”秋游。这里的建筑古色古香，规模宏大，十分壮观。“老院子 ”不但风景优美，而且有着闽南古老文化传统的特色。

我们首先来到了“老渔村 ”参观，这里有闹巷、竹巷，还有“盼郎归 ”等古老的建筑雕像。在这里我看见了一位老爷爷正在编织渔网，一副非常认真的神情，在昏暗的油灯下，他正连夜赶织着渔网。“老渔村 ”竹巷的屋顶都高高地挂着竹篮，这些都是勤劳的当家渔妇和老人用手工辛苦编制出来的。我们又来到了“盼郎归 ”，在古代的福建沿海，男子要出海打渔来获得收入，女子在家料理家务。这不禁让我想到了一个成语──“男耕女织 ”，在这里我们又看到一位渔家妇女的雕像，她皱着眉头把菜放进锅里，手拿着铲子却一动不动地在那里发呆，她正焦急地盼望着郎君的归来，目光是那么的深情凝重。“老院子 ”不但有体现古代的民俗风情，还有现代化高科技表演……

“厦门老院子 ”之游，让我了解了许多闽南古老的传统文化，增长了知识，得到了启迪：勤劳善良的古代人们，他们勇于向艰辛的生活挑战，我们更应该要好好学习，奋发有为，珍惜这美好的时光。“老院子 ”之游收获满满，给我留下了深刻的印象！

A man who is careful in choosing friends will certainly derive benefit from

them。 Why? Because there are more false friends than real ones in this world。 To

have one real friends is better than a hundred false ones。 Friends who flatter

you to your face are not true friends。

We must make friends with those who have good character and kindness of

heart。 On the other hand， we should do our best to a void keeping pany with bad

people。

The winter vacation, we came to Harbin, mom and Dad took us to the Yabuli ski resort.

A sight that I was shocked, a silver white snow, coming from across the slope, each snow road length is different, with a narrow width, high and low, spectacular.

In the dressing room, the skiing suits are changed. Everyone gets together. The coach teaches us how to skate and how to stop. Oh, its too simple. Skiing is the two feet parallel, knees bent forward, and slippery dry ice like, two feet open, a big point inside the eight words.

We entered the snow road and started my first skiing trip. Unexpectedly, I did not bother to slide down the slope down the slope. I look back at my father, mother and brother, my father fell in the snow, cant do anything. His brother said he fell five or six, only mother did not fall. I was proud of it and became a "little teacher".

This is my first time skiing, full of excitement, and full of joy.

Mr. A Gan has his own perseverance, keeping on running without of any reason, JUST RUNS. He said: “Man has t look forward, and never encumbered by foretime. I thank thats the meaning of my running.” Say goodbye to foretime and dont stay in-place. Although so many people in the world are used to follow others and few people can stick to one thing, Mr. A Gan does and becomes “GOD”. There is another character Captain Dan. Dan lost his legs in Vietnarm War. He said that his fate is death in war. However, Mr. A Gan saved him and let him be alive. After losing legs, Dan was decadent and disgusted with life, complaining that A Gan shouldnt save him. When he adjusted his mind, living on fishing with A Gan, he started to enjoy the wonderful life and thank A Gans help. The movie is intended to tell people that life is wonderful by this character. Rainbow is always after cloud. The key point is that whether we have a good mind and an opportunity to ourselves to change bad situation. The movie is also sent such a message to us: do well what we should do, and life will return us well. There will be a miracle if only there is perseverance.

Dear Michael,

You want to know the changes about my hometown. You know, great changes

have taken place since 60 years ago.

In the past, the living conditions were very poor. There were not many

buses or cars, and the roads were narrow. Usually, a big family was crowded into

a small, dark house. Most families couldn’t get enough food. The communications

were simple and slow. People kept in touch with their friends and relatives far

away mainly by letter or telegram.

Thanks to the government, our hometown has developed rapidly in recent

years. The living conditions are much better and more comfortable. The roads are

wide. Some people have their own cars. Most of the people live in big new

houses. Quite a few adults have mobile phones. I think our lives will become

better and better because of many good policies.

Sincerely

Kang Min

有人说，厦门是空气清新，环境优美的白鹭之城；有人说，厦门是海水环绕，阳光和煦的旅游之城；有人说，厦门是风姿卓越，四季如春的“海上花园”… …但是，我更觉得厦门是一个音乐之城，它是交响乐中一个跳跃的音符。

在厦门，你会发现音乐已经成为这个城市不可或缺的一部分。当你走在大街或小巷，你随时可以感受到音乐给这座城市带来的“节奏感”。在这里，有厦门爱乐乐团、有歌舞剧院、有设施顶级的专业音乐厅、有音乐学校… …一批又一批的小小音乐家在这里茁壮地成长，每年更有一批批具有音乐天赋的学子被国家高等艺术院校录取。在这里，无论你是在马路上，还是在公交车上，到处可见那些背着大大小小乐器的学子，也许正在赶往求学，或许正在赶往大大小小演出，即使你是在家里，耳朵边也会不时传来琴童演奏的美妙音乐… …

漫步在美丽的环岛路上，身边的音符也无所不在，瞧，那绿化带围墙上，那值得称道的艺术创意——《鼓浪屿之波》五线谱浮雕，那一个个跳动的音符，不仅仅是别致的装饰，更是一腔融融的温情和悠悠的两岸情，它诉说着对亲人深切的思念和团聚的期盼！听，“鼓浪屿四周海茫茫，海水鼓起波浪… …”放眼望去，原来是厦门爱乐乐团在环岛路音乐广场举办的“山海交响”音乐会。面对高山、和着海风，伴着涛声，一曲曲美妙动听的乐曲伴着蓝天碧海的美景在环岛路的音乐广场上回响，令人如痴如醉。这里不仅有欢快热烈的《北京喜讯到边寨》；也有缠绵悱恻、如泣如诉的小提琴协奏曲《梁祝》；而一首首脍炙人口的舞曲更会让您随着音乐舞动起来：《蓝色多瑙河圆舞曲》以及匈牙利舞曲、西班牙舞曲和秧歌舞曲更是让听众领略各国各民族的音乐风情和节日气氛。在这椰风海韵中，音乐与波涛相融，那流淌的音符不仅给美丽的厦门构筑成了一道亮丽的风景线，也为美丽温馨的厦门增添了文化艺术的馨香… …

沿着环岛路走到轮渡码头，来到有着海上花园、钢琴之岛之称的鼓浪屿。一踏上这片土地，似乎美妙的音符已经迫不及待挤进你的耳朵，你也会发现你脚踩的小道上是一个个跳跃的音符；老街小巷间，那叮叮咚咚的琴声时隐时现… …琴岛的琴声、涛声成了厦门引以骄傲的名片。在这里，几乎家家有钢琴，户户有琴童；人居2。4万居民却拥有着5000余台钢琴，更令人自豪的是岛上拥有中国首家钢琴博物馆，馆中收藏着70多架古老的欧洲、美洲的钢琴，让带着惊奇眼光的参观者，不禁发出阵阵的赞叹声！这里，音乐人才辈出，享誉中外，如：钢琴家殷承宗、许斐星、许斐平、许兴艾等。中国第一位女声乐家、指挥家周淑安，声乐家、歌唱家林俊卿，男低音歌唱家吴天球，著名指挥陈佐湟，还有李嘉禄、卓一龙等，可谓群星璀璨。这里，树木苍翠，繁花似锦，小楼红瓦与绿树相映，显得格外漂亮，日光岩奇峰突起，群鹭腾飞……组成一幅美丽的音乐画卷！

音乐之城也滋养了我，从初识到热爱。爵士鼓、钢琴的演奏，让我逐渐成为同学们眼中的“小明星”。09年我以优异的成绩考入厦门市中小学生管弦乐团，成为当时年龄最小的成员；参加了与台湾中小学生管弦乐团的交流演出，任打击乐演奏员；多次参加赈灾义演，为灾区募得善款；也是因为音乐才艺，我竞选上了学校大队委，任文体委员……音乐，给予我的不仅仅是快乐和荣誉，更给予我思想的飞跃，给予我生活的信心与勇气。这就是我心中的厦门，我心中的音乐之城！

我骄傲，因为我是厦门人！我幸福，因为我是音乐人中的一份子！
