2. 有的人喜欢自己独立行动（travelling on one’s own）

3. 比较这两种旅游方式，我喜欢的是……

范文：

With the general standard of living improvingand the working week becoming shorter，more andmore people are able to make a holiday trip toplaces of interest. While many like to joinpackage tours fro convenience，I prefer to traveln my own.

I like travelling on may own not only because it costs much less but because it gives a great degree of independence and freedom. Travelling on my own，I’m my own boss；and can decide when to start on my way，where to linger a little longer and which spot can be skipped over to save energy or time for another spot. I can always adjust my plan. On the contrary，in a package tour you’re deprived of as much freedom as in a military base. At the sound of the whistle，you have to jump up from a sound sleep and，with heavy-lidded eyes，hurry to the gathering place where you are collected and counted to board a coach. At the sight of the little flag waving，you must immediately take yourself away from the scenes you are marveling at and follow the guide whose sole interest is to cover all spots according to him strict schedule，regardless of the weather or your health condition.

True，you may encounter inconveniences if you travel individually，for instance，getting accommodations for the night and finding a place for meals. But nothing can be compared with the freedom which is vital to a person who takes a holiday trip mainly to escape from constraints of his routine life.

“偷瓜喽！”在这个宁静的夜晚响起了小伙伴的喊声，这是小伙伴们最喜欢的一个传统节日——中秋节。我的家乡与众不同，在中秋节这天，小孩都要去“偷瓜”，几个小孩组成一队，在八月十五这天，去偷些菜来煮着吃。

夜幕降临，一轮圆月在天空中探出了头，悄悄地望着我们，为我们照亮了路。开始偷瓜了，大家开始分配任务，开始了饶有趣味的活动。我们身穿黑衣，来到了田野里，先偷什么好呢？我们把目光投向了茄子——这是我们都爱吃的。大家奔向菜园，摘起了又大又紫的茄子，不一会儿，袋子就装满了，我们旗开得胜。现在，又嫩又绿的小白菜要遭殃了。“咦，小白菜在哪儿？”“开灯吧！”小伙伴在窃窃私语，打开了手里的手电筒。“不好！被发现了！”“有什么大不了的！”“他们嘴上不说，心里会有恨意的！”“那快跑！”语音刚落，小伙伴就没了影。“啊！总算有惊无险！”“小白菜，你等着，待会儿再收拾你！别得意！”

看来，偷瓜也不那么容易。我们开始打南瓜的注意了，那一个个又圆又大的南瓜，犹如一个个皮球长在藤子上。我们踮起脚尖，像做贼一样走向它。“哎呀，怎么扯不动啊！”“用石头砸它的根吧！”我急中生智。我们费了九牛二虎之力，才把那一个南瓜弄到手，真是来之不易啊！“小白菜，这次你逃不掉了！”我们用手捂住电筒，只留一点儿缝隙让光线照出来，照到了白菜上，我们顺利拿到了白菜。

茄子、南瓜、白菜都有了，还缺什么呢？当然是披着绿纱衣的冬瓜了。我们锁定一个冬瓜崽子，它身小，但还挺坚强，怎么也不屈服，不让我们摘到手。不过小冬瓜怎么斗得过我们呢？还是被我们收服了。现在，菜都齐了，开始煮了，备一个大锅。一个人负责洗菜；一个人负责生火；一个人负责煮菜；一个人负责当“电灯”；一个人跷着二郎腿，在那儿瞎指挥。

不一会儿，便大功告成了。这时来了一群不速之客——爸爸妈妈们。他们有的拿着香瓜子，有的人拿着月饼，有的人拿着饮料。来品尝我们的劳动成果。大家坐在一起，一边吃月饼，一边赏月；一边吃佳肴，一边聊天；一边嗑瓜子，一边唠家常。这的确是美好快乐的日子呀！

家乡的中秋节，是多么有趣，多么快乐！令人回味无穷，记忆犹新，这个传统节日，深受人们喜爱！

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.

For you, I think it’s a good idea to buy a gift with the lucky money for your hostfamily before you leave China. You can also buy some Chinese gifts for your parents and friends in England. Or, just keep it as good memories.

I hope what I said can help you.

Yours,

Three years ago, I was a cool and detached girl. I never helped others or cried, because I thought that was very boring.

One day an unusual girl rushed into my life. She looks like a boy and she is also very lovely. She is very cheerful. I always feel she is a "Red Sun". She is the most beautiful girl that I have ever seen. She often helps me and plays with me. We became good friends at once. Since then, I have been sanguine.

Now, I am still a happy girl. I‘m often moved by the world. I think our life is so short, and it isn‘t easy for people to live in the world. I‘ve learned to help others and to cry. I‘ve also learned to be happy and grateful. I also understand that crying doesn‘t mean "coward", crying can mean "visualize a bright future!"Though she has lots of new friends and I have many too, she will be my best friend forever, because she has taught me a lot…

Thank you--my best friend!

China has always had a splendid traditional culture, and there are Dragon Boat Festival, qingming festival, National Day... I like the Spring Festival best.

The streets are full of lanterns, people are busy buying couplets, the annual goods, the arrival of the Spring Festival

Every time Chinese New Year, we young children wear new clothes, wear new hats, the adults face a satisfied smile. Its been a great year for people to eat family reunion dinner. In the evening, the grown-ups are playing mahjong, playing poker, and eating melon seeds, chatting and talking. Children like to set off fireworks. The bold children go to the fire, the timid children look behind. Fireworks are colorful... Just play and play! Have fun!

It was a long time before I left my friends to go home. I thought to myself, "I wish I could spend the Spring Festival every day."

Sunrise at Sea

Ba Jin

I would often get up early to watch the sunrise when it was not yet quiet light and all was quiet except for the droning of the ship engine.

The sky was pale with a bluish blue. Soon a streak of pink dawn broke over the horizon，expanding gradually and becoming brighter and brighter. Knowing that the sun was about to rise, I had my eyes fixed on the distant edge of the sea.

As expected, the sun soon appeared revealing half of its face, which was very red but not bright It kept rising laboriously bit by bit as if weighted down with a heavy burden on its back until，after breaking through the rosy clouds;it completely emerged from the sea aglow with a lovely red. Then，before I knew it, the dark red orb began to shine blazingly, dazzling my eyes until they stung and all of a sudden lighting up the surrounding cloud.

Sometimes，hidden by the clouds, the sun nonetheless shed its rays straight onto the sea water, making it difficult for me to distinguish between the sky and the sea because what I saw in front of me was nothing but a wide expanse of brilliant light.

Sometimes, with thick layers of dark clouds hanging in the sky, the sun was hardly visible to the naked eye. But its radiance managed to show through the dark clouds to edge them with golden lace. Then, after gradually breaking through the tight encirclement, it came into full view and even dyed the dark clouds purple or scarlet. At the moment, apart from the sun，the clouds and the seawater, I too was luminous.

Wasnt that a marvelous spectacle?

I had a summer holiday from Jule to August.I was very happy ，because I could do many kinds of things.

I went to the beach and I swam in the sea.I called my friend and played with them.I visitde my grandparents and ate much delicious food.But in August，there is a first typhoon.With terrifying fear and my mother bought some food.I was very unhappy，because I could not played out side.

Then I went to the zoo whit my sister.I was very happy.Because I saw a lot of animals.They were very lovable.So I took photos of all animals.I loved the butterfly the best.They were colourful and beautiful.My sister liked it too.

In summer holiday，I went to the places where the sun shines brightly.I went to where the sea is blue too.All students had a happy summer holiday.

When we got to the zoo, we climbed up a little hill first. We can see many kangaroos on the hill, I played with some kangaroos. Then, we went to a pond. I fished in the pond, and got a big fish and 2 small fishes. I was very happy at that time. After fishing, we walked on grass. There are many parrots on the grass. And we were surprised that one of them can speak English. I spoke to it, and it said ‘hello’ to me. That made a lot of fun for me.

In the afternoon, we went to see monkeys, pandas, snakes and big sharks. And I took many photos from them. I also rode a horse and painted a mask for fun.

When we back home, it almost got drak. But I’m very happy, because I had a good time at the zoo that day

Chengdu City Chengdu, the capital city of Sichuan province in China, has been recognized as “the land of abundance” for a long time. With rich cultural heritage, Chengdu is one of the most popular destinations for tourists in China. People who once step onto the land of Chengdu city will quickly fall in love with life there. It seems that Chengdu people are living a happy life with less pressure from their occupation, family or from the conflict social competition. Children, for example, can enjoy the child-only facilities in the parks. They can play with peers and make friends with each other. For teenagers and adults, the various entertainment places and snack streets are indispensable part of their life. The old in Chengdu can also sit in a teahouse with a cup of tea after dinner and gossip their family. The pace of life in Chengdu is slower than in other big cities. People tend to spend more time and efforts to create and experience happiness.

Chengdu is a city where one comes and doesn’t want to leave. There are many famous scenic spots such as Jingli, Kuanzai Street, Tianfu Square and Chengdu Panda Base. In Chengdu, one can not only enjoy shopping in Tianfu square, walking on the ancient streets and buy souvenirs in traditional houses or stores on Jingli and Kuangzai Street, but also play with cute pandas and help feed their cubs in the Panda Base. Furthermore, watching a Sichuan Opera Show will also provide a newcomer with unforgettable and precious memories. The delicate face-changing in Sichuan Opera has become a symbol of Sichuan culture.

This story’s name is “The little prince”。 As it known to all， we will encounter a lot of difficulties， even hardships. Different people may have different ways to deal with them. After reading The Little Princess， I am deeply impressed by Sara’s way to deal with difficulties. The Little Princess was written by Frances Hodgson Burnett， a famous novelist and dramatist. Sara， the heroine of the novel， was born in a rich family. In order to get a better education， her father took her from India to London so that she could go to the best school. Because Sara was kind-hearted， generous and most of all—rich， she was loved by everyone. All went well until her father died in an accident. Everything changed pletely. She didn’t understand why the teachers and classmates treated her so badly. Even the principal who used to be fond of her， made her work 16 hours a day. Sara’s miserable life began.When I finished reading the book， I was shocked by what the unimaginable pain Sara had suffered after her fa爱国名言

ther’s death. She used to be a happy， worriless， and rich Princess， but now she was a lonely and poor servant. She had to work very hard without any rest but only had little food. Besides she had to endure the unfriendly and even rude ways that her classmates treated her. All teachers and students in the school looked down upon her. The most important fact is that Sara had lost the love and care of her parents.What a mighty pain! If you were Sara， could you stand such pain? Needless to say， an 11 years old girl， even if it were an adult， he might not put up with it. But to my surprise， Sara faced it bravely.

Despite of the torture of the principal and all those pressures above， she still was optimistic towards life. By reading this novel， I felt inspired and think much. When we meet such difficulties， what should we do? Some people always plain that the fate is unfair to them. Some people can’t sustain the hardships and choose to give up. Few of them even try to mit  because they lack the courage to overe it. Compared with Sara—an eleven years old girl who can treat the pressure of life with optimistic spirit， these people’s performances are sounded so lamentable. Why can’t they make it?However， what impress me most are her characteristics and the thought of her “being a real princess.” This “real princess” does not mean luxury palaces， beautiful clothes and the apple of the others’ eyes， but being kind， generous and having good manners. It is unnecessary for “a real princess” to be strong in body， but she must be strong in will. Sara is a real princess in my heart all the time， whether she was rich and wore beautiful clothes in the classroom or she was cold and hungry in the attic， just because she had the good characters and kind heart. The story went on. Fortunately， a friend of Sara’s father found her and told her that her father left a great sum of money to her. I pray and believe that every good person in the world deserve a good result， and of course， we are the same.

My grandparents came to visit me in the weekend. I was so happy because I

hadnt seen them for a long time. I missed my grandmas delicious food, because

she always knew what my stomach liked. My job was to take them to hang around

the city. I took them to the famous sites, where were so leisure and full of

local features. Walking on the old street with historical materials, they had so

much feelings, and thought about the old times and taught me to cherish the

things I had. I kept their words in mind. At night, I helped my grandma to cook

dinner. All the people sat in the table and had a nice talk.

I have had a dream, in the dream I dreamed that the qingshui river became very terrible.

I went to qingshui river with my father and mother. I was just walking towards the river when I heard a loud crying. I followed the sound of the past, it was a piece of grass. I squatted down and asked, "grass, why are you crying here?" The grass said, "this is a vast prairie, but people are going to build a big house here. My sisters have been pulled out, and I am the only one who has not been pulled out." "Said the grass, and began to cry again.

I stood up, turned and heard: "help me." I walked past, originally is qingshui river to cry. "Why are you crying?" I asked curiously. "Please help me," he said. I saw an aunt throw a pack of garbage into the water. Plastic bags fly apart in the air, wrapped in peel, the leftover soup is scattered into the river. I went over and said, "aunt, its wrong of you to do so." The aunt said angrily: "you care for me? Little thing. You see, everybody is not like this?" I looked across the river and some of the people on the bank had coal dust, some threw waste paper. Some factories are discharging black and black waste water, along the river, into the distance. Then I saw a yellow and yellow thing floating on the river.

God, thats terrible!

Wake up and think of the old water river. In the summer some people play in the river, and some fish swim freely in the water. On the bank of the river, the willows fly, and the bees sing.

From now on, we will save water, protect the environment and protect our homeland. My slogan is "protect the environment from me."

mooncakes are to mid-autumn festival what mince pies are to christmas. the seasonal round cakes traditionally have a sweet filling of lotus seed paste or red bean paste and often have one or more salted duck eggs in the center to represent the moon. and the moon is what this celebration is all about. mid-autumn festival falls on the 15th day of the 8th month，it is the time when the moon is said to be at its brightest and fullest.

there are two legends which claim to explain the tradition of eating mooncakes. one tang dynasty myth holds that the earth once had 10 suns circling it. one day all 10 suns appeared at once，scorching the planet with their heat. it was thanks to a skillful archer named hou yi that the earth was saved. he shot down all but one of the suns. as his reward，the heavenly queen mother gave hou yi the elixir of immortality，but she warned him that he must use it wisely. hou yi ignored her advice and，corrupted by fame and fortune，became a tyrannical leader. chang-er，his beautiful wife， could no longer stand by and watch him abuse his power so she stole his elixir and fled to the moon to escape his angry wrath. and thus began the legend of the beautiful woman in the moon，the moon fairy.

the second legend has it that during the yuan dynasty，an underground group led by zhu yuan zang was determined to rid the country of mongolian dominance. the moon cake was created to carry a secret message. when the cake was opened and the message read，an uprising was unleashed which successfully routed the mongolians. it happened at the time of the full moon，which，some say，explains why mooncakes are eaten at this time. mooncakes are usually stamped with chinese characters indicating the name of the **ry and the type of filling used. some **ries will even stamp them with your family name so that you can give personalised ones to friends and family. they are usually presented in boxes of four which indicate the four phases of the moon. traditional mooncakes are made with melted lard，but today vegetable oil is more often used in the interests of health. mooncakes are not for the diet-conscious as they are loaded with calories. the best way to wash down one of these sticky cakes is with a cup of chinese tea，especially jasmine or chrysanthemum tea，which aids the digestion.

中秋节吃月饼就像西方人圣诞节吃百果馅饼一样，是必不可少的。圆圆的月饼中通常包有香甜的莲子馅或是红豆馅，馅的中央还会加上一个金黄的咸鸭蛋黄来代表月亮。而月亮正是中秋节庆祝的主题。每年农历8月15日人们一起庆祝中秋，据说这一天的月亮是一年中最亮最圆的。

关于吃月饼这个传统的来历有两个传说。一个是唐朝的神话故事，说的是当时地球被10个太阳包围着。有一天10个太阳同时出现在天空中，巨大的热量几乎把地球烤焦了。多亏一位名叫后羿的神箭手射下了9个太阳，地球才被保祝为了奖励后羿，王母娘娘赐给后羿一种长生不老药，但是王母警告他必须正当使用。然而后羿没有理会王母娘娘的警告，他被名利冲昏了头脑，变成了一个暴君。后羿美丽的妻子嫦娥对他的暴行再也不能袖手旁观，于是她偷走了后羿的长生不老药，飞到月亮上逃避后羿的狂怒。从此就有了关于月宫仙子嫦娥，这个月亮上的美丽女人的传说。

第二个传说讲的是在元朝，朱元璋领导的起义军计划起义来摆脱蒙古族的统治。他们用月饼来传递密信。掰开月饼就可以找到里面的密信，起义军通过这种方式成功的发动了起义，赶走了元朝的统治者。这场起义发生在八月十五之时，于是中秋节吃月饼的习俗便在民间传开来。

myhometownis beautiful place it stands near a wide river at the foot of low green hills. it has many tall buildings and wide streets. there are trees and flowers everywhere.

but it has not always been like that. in the old days, it was a sad dirty little town. landlords and merchants lived in the few good houses. for the working people there were only dark, unhealthy rooms in old buildings and huts in narrow muddy streets. nearly everyone was poor and many had no work.

everything has changed since liberation. the people, led by the party, have got rid of the mud and dirt. they have put up schools, theaters, shops and flats. they have an assembly hall and a hospital. along the river they have built offices, hotels and parks. a lot of factories have sprung up. on the river, streamers and boats come and go busily, day and night. they carry the products of our industries to all parts of the country.

家乡的交通问题 Traffic Problem in My Hometown

The traffic problem is one of themost serious problems in my hometown. Recently, more and more people have privatecar, but the roads are so narrow that we have to fight against the heavytraffic when we go out. Especially during the rush hours, cars and buses areunable to move. To make things worse, many people are killed in the trafficaccidents. How miserable it is!

在我的家乡交通问题是最严重的问题之一。现在越来越多的人拥有私家车，但道路却是如此的狭窄，所以我们出门的时候都必须和交通拥挤对抗。尤其是在繁忙时间段，汽车和公共汽车都动不了。更糟的是，许多人在交通事故中丧生。那是多么悲惨的啊！

For the sake of our life andsecurity, some measures must be taken to change the present situation. In thefirst place, as there are a great many cars, we should control the number ofprivate cars and vehicles and use the public transportation more often.Secondly, the government should widen the roads and build more flyovers, so asto ease the traffic pressure and reduce the traffic accidents. In addition, theundergrounds and light rails should be constructed, so that we can have morechoices when going out and do not have to worry about the traffic jams in thefuture.

为了我们的生命和安全起见，我们必须采取一些措施来改变现状。首先，因为有很多车，所以我们应该控制私家车的数量，更经常使用公共交通工具。其次，政府应该拓宽道路，建造更多的立交桥，以缓解交通压力，减少交通事故的发生。此外，应构建地铁和轻轨，这样我们将来外出时可以有更多的选择也不用不必担心交通堵塞。

I believe the traffic problem couldbe solved if we devote our actions to them.

我相信如果我们采取行动的话交通问题是可以解决的。
