盼啊，盼啊!终于盼到了春节的这一天。新年又到了，往事如风，把我以前的记忆全部都带走了，这一年又开端了我的重生活。

“新年到，新年到，我们大家放鞭炮……”早上5点，老爸换的新闹铃就把我叫起来，由于接下来还有一件重要的事情要做，妈妈给我和爸爸的任务——贴春联。我一手拿着透明胶，一手拿着尖利的剪刀，爸爸把对联按在墙上，我在远处指挥爸爸调整春联的方位。调整后，我一边剪透明胶，一手递给爸爸，由于我们协作的天衣无缝，所以很快就大功告成了。认真看看，那窗户上还贴这一张“福”，我看了之后困惑不解：为什么这“福”要倒着贴呢?奶奶看到我困惑不解的样子，笑道：“这样贴才干把福到家的意义表现出来呀!我听后豁然开朗，原来是这样啊!在我们贴春联的时分，还有一些亲戚、朋友过来拜年好不繁华!

元旦这天，我与朋友一同快乐地玩到了下午，回到家里，一桌的美味佳肴便让我垂涎欲滴。饭桌上，大家举杯同庆，相互传送祝愿：大人们祝小孩快乐生长，学习进步;小孩则祝愿大人们身体安康，财源广进。接下来当然是小孩子们最喜欢的节目喽——领压岁钱。捧着一叠叠厚厚的红包，心里别提有多快乐了，可却又让我们在快乐的同时伤心了——父母收走了我们的压岁钱。深夜11点59分55秒，“5，4，3，2，1，过年喽!”。新年的钟声敲响了，此时此刻，只听“碰、碰、碰”乌黑的夜空，，烟花炮竹随之响彻夜空，被焰火点亮了，更被人们那颗期盼新一年快乐的心照亮了。你看!多高兴的春节啊!家家户户都是红统统的`一片，贴对联，挂灯笼，包饺子，一家人忙都忙不过来。清晨，我怀着难以宁静的心情在炮竹声中慢慢入睡。

The Spring Festival is very important to Chinese people. In the past，people could not often have meat，rice or other delicious food. They could only eat these during the Spring festival. So every year they hoped that the Spring Festival would come soon. Now， although people‘s life is much better，and we can eat the delicious foods everyday. People still like the festival. Because most people can have a long holiday，and we are free to go on a trip or visit our friends or have parties with our family. In the evenings，we can have a big meal in the restaurant or stay at home with family and watch the TV programs.

As is known to all， food is a priority for the mon people.Recently，

however， reports about food problems have often been seen in the newspapers，

showing that people have always been concerned about what they eat every day.

The reason for this problem is that some of the food producers are too fond of

making money， leading to the result that they use whatever will make the food

look good or taste better without considering the bad consequences。 This is not

normal because people just cannot live without eating anything.

So we should take all the measures necessary to forbid the food producers

to make food that is not safe enough. Laws should be strengthened and the

government should have more control over these producers。 Only when people are

no longer worried about whether their food is safe or not can they enjoy a

better life.

In that way, she will be a positive woman every day. We cant change the fact, but we can treat things in another way, so that we can be positive all the time.

In my opinion, the schoolwork now being assigned to high school students is too heavy. while it is true that students need to study, they need other things as well if they are to grow into healthy and well-rounded adults. high should be allowed more time for play. plying is not wasting time, as some think. it gives them physical exercise, and also exercise their imagination. which tends to be stifled by too much study.

Finally, the pressure put on high school students by excessive schoolwork can cause serious stress, which is unhealthy physically and mentally. i do not advocate the elimination of schoolwork. i do think, however, that a reduction of the current heavy load would be beneficial to students and to the society as a whole.

自从我上高中，我就感受到了很大的压力。高中是我生命中很重要的阶段，因为如果我学得好，就能进入到理想的大学，有一个光明的前途。因此我想要做到最好，我不想要落后。问题就是我不可能一直都是尖子生，有时候我考试也会失败。在那个时候，我需要调整自己，并且放松。我放松的方法是多样的。第一，我会听音乐。听音乐能让我的心顺畅，也帮助我冷静下来，这样我就能把烦恼抛去。第二，我喜欢做一些运动，比如慢跑，篮球和网球。做这些运动能帮助我释放不好的情绪，再次变得活力四射。

The computer is a wonderful machine. They are already widely used in industries and in universities. They are used in many ways.

Computerscan do many kinds of work. For example, computers can helps us do maths problems quickly. Some problems are too hard for us to work them out, but computers can. A scientist can ask computers some questions, and the computers can answer on the screen.

In a car-factory computer tells the robots how to do with the cars.

Computers are very useful. So many parents buy computers for their children. They hope computers can help them improve their studies in school, but some children don’t do as what parents want them to do. Because they used the computers for surfing on the Internet and spend too much time playing computer games instead of learning. It does not good for their eyesight. So their parents complain about computers not help children to study but also make them fall behind.

In many companies computers instead of workers to work. So many people lose their jobs. So many workers think computers bring them a lot of trouble.

If computers are good for us or bad for us it’s hard to say so I hope computers will be used in the right way.

I think everyone likes weekend. Because it’s time for relax and fun. Now I

watching movies and TV shows, having a trip with family and so on. And I always

spend Sunday for homework and have some rest. Sometimes I visit my grandparents

with my parents. It’s very interesting to visit them.

People always attach great importance on the soul, as the saying that beautiful soul overweighs everything, so in the movie, the everlasting theme is that an ugly girl wins the true love at last. Recently, a hot topic of discussing whether the girls’ outlook is important, the fact is that people reach their agreement that outlook really matters, if a person looks terrible, no one will like to make friends with him, let alone to know about him. In my opinion, beautiful soul is of great importance, but if people don’t make themselves look comfortable outside, no one wants to know his inside. We need to clear ourselves, it doesn’t mean we must make up, we should make ourselves look comfortable and confident, we should dress the tidy clothes and make our hair in order. People say outlook is not important, but it doesn’t mean we give up our outlook and let it look terrible.

人们总是赋予心灵很大的重要性，正如有句话说美丽的心灵胜过一切，因此在电影里，永恒的主题是一位长相难看的女孩最终赢得真爱。最近，关于讨论女孩的外表是否重要成为了热门话题，事实上，人们一致认为外表很重要，如果一个人看起来很糟糕，没有人会喜欢和他交朋友，更不用说去了解他。在我看来，美丽的心灵很重要，但是如果人们没有让自己的外表看起来舒服，没有人会想要了解他的内心。我们需要让自己看起来干净，这不意味着我们必须要化妆，我们应该让自己看起来舒服和自信，应该穿着整齐，发型不乱。人们说外表不重要，但是不意味着我们放弃外表，让自己看起来糟糕。

In my mind, there are many people who is worth I admire, but there is a person of character, and make my lifelong benefit - cleaner.

Remember in the cold morning, on my way to school, vaguely see a person, the man with a broom in sweeping the floor. Walk into a look, turned out to be cleaner. Just then, I thought: such a cold day, the cleaner in sweeping the floor, isnt it cold? Saw her wearing a uniform, with masks, left hand holding a broom, her right hand to the dustpan, thorn face brings her ears are red.

Her left hand holding a dustpan, right hand holding a broom, and patience and carefully. She sweep up the stolen goods, and sweep up the piece of stolen goods, such action also dont know how to repeat again. Look, her hands how tacit understanding! If dustpan full, carefully pour into the truck, afraid to drive just sweep clean and dirty. Pour out, and then began to sweep. I see from her eyes, she is how I hope you will no longer throw stolen goods, keep the road clean. At this time, the wind is blowing, blow the roads and dirty. The cleaners helplessly say: "alas, true cant, I need to scan again." And then, call forth spirit said: "it doesnt matter, I will be able to finish cleaning!" Then Saul again, and this time, she first sweep rubbish, and dustpan sweep the garbage into the dustpan. Full use broom mouth, dont let the junk, and into the truck. I think: it can save more time, sweep the garbage out. Thinking about thinking, cleaner to sweep out the rubbish. I dont went into his YouZi ceasing, laughingly said: "thats very kind of you! I want to learn from you that silently dedication spirit!" Cleaners listened, smiling eyes.

This is the person I admire most. One day, a person in silently every day. Is the persons character is not worth me to learn?

在我的脑海里，有许多人值得我佩服，但有一个人的品格，使我终生受益――清洁工。

记得在寒冷的早晨，在上学的路上，隐隐约约看到一个人，那个人拿着扫帚在扫地。走进一看，原来是清洁工。就在这时候，我想：这么冷的天，清洁工在扫地，难道不冷吗?只见她穿着制服，带着口罩，左手拿着扫帚，右手拿着簸箕，刺脸的风把她的耳朵都吹红了。

她左手拿着簸箕，右手拿着扫帚，认真而又耐心的扫着。只见她把这片赃物扫起来，又把那片赃物扫起来，这样的动作也不知道要重复多少遍。再瞧，她的双手配合的多么默契呀!要是簸箕满了，就小心翼翼地倒进垃圾车里，生怕把刚刚扫赶净的地又弄脏了。倒完了，就又开始扫了。我从她的眼睛里看到，她是多么希望大家不再乱扔赃物，保持道路昔日的干净。这时，大风吹来，把道路又吹脏了。这位清洁工无奈的说：“唉，真没办法，我又要重新扫了。”接着，又振起精神说：“没关系，我一定能扫完的!”说完又开始扫了，这回，她先把垃圾扫在了一起，又拿簸箕把垃圾扫进簸箕里。满了就用扫帚挡住口，不让垃圾掉下来，再到进垃圾车里。我想：这样能够节约多点时间，把垃圾扫完。想着想着，清洁工就把这些垃圾扫完了。我不犹自住地走进他，笑盈盈地说：“您真好!我要向您学习那种默默奉献的精神!”清洁工听了，眼睛笑眯眯的。

这就是我最敬佩的人。一个每天起早贪黑、默默奉献的一个人。难道这个人的品格不值得我去学习吗?

Headmaster:

Hello,

My name is LiHong. I heard of our school will hold a activity about welcoming exchange students from Canada. I want to let one exchange student come to my home.

I want to know the culture about Canada. I think they are very happy to tell me their culture. And I can introduce our culture to them. My parents want to talk with a person who comes from Canada. It’s a good chance for them. So I hope I can invite an exchange student to come to my home.

Maybe you will ask me if I have ability to talk with them. I can speak English very well. And my family is rich, so I can make them fell comfortable.

I can make school be proud of me!

LiHong

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 50-day holiday, but I found I had a lot of things to do. I had a lot of homework to do and I had something necessary to do.

A bird in a cage, the free space is infinite, they like the frog in well spend in narrow space, not their own free life.

Each time I see them, they think, feel with the other.

Every day to stay in his own study, although the book is my partner, can let I dare not to mind empty, but sometimes standing to the window and saw the children of the same age with me on the ground to play, there is sweet smile on her face, in the heart how envy.

So, every day I see it, and have a headache, how much I yearn for freedom, I hate being at home, live a life they want, how perfect it is!!!

"The birds have belong to own sky, fish have belong to own lake, the grass has belongs to own the land, the flowers have their own sunshine, why cant I have my own life?" My time of day, but god is one of my speaker, what can he reach to me?

Freedom, how much I yearn for freedom, if one day, I walked alone in the wilderness of fragrant, let the wind blowing my hair, as the grass on my feet, as the sun on my face, I will always be walking without the light of day, when one day, I went to the sea to the sea to speak my mind, pick up a conch tell my secret about it, have a dream that one day someone picked up it, slowly to get the ears to listen to tell my story, unknowingly going the rounds and mom, dad, you may hear this story? If I understand my heart, give me a piece of my own perfect life, give me that you want freedom?

Have you heard the story?

"Sometimes, I also want to be free!" I loudly Shouting, bouts of echo in my ears. How I hope to have a free world!

关在鸟笼里的小鸟，自由的空间是无限的，它们就如井底之蛙，整天待在狭小的空间里，得不到属于自己的自由生活。

每每看到他们，便想到自己，便感到同命相怜。

每天待在自己的书房中，虽说书是我的伴侣，可以让我不敢到心中的空虚，但有时站到窗前，看见与我同龄的孩子在空地上玩耍，脸上露出甜美的微笑，心中别提有多羡慕了。

每天如此，我便看到书就心烦，头痛，我是多么渴望得到自由，我讨厌被人拘束，过自己想要的生活，该是多么完美呀!

“鸟儿有属于自己的天空，鱼儿有有属于自己的湖泊，草儿有属于自己的土地，花儿有属于自己的阳光，我为什么就不能有属于自己的生活呢?”我对天长叹，但老天只是我的一个诉说者，他又能为我达到什么呢?

自由，我是多么渴望得到自由，若有一天，我独自漫步在花香弥漫的旷野上，任风儿吹拂我的头发，任草儿在我的脚上摆动，任阳光照射在我的脸上，我始终是漫无天日地走着，当某年某日的时候我来到大海边，对着大海说出我的心事，捡起一个海螺对着它说出我的秘密，梦想有一天有人捡起它，慢慢地拿到耳畔倾听着我那诉说的故事，不知不觉地一传十，十传百，妈妈，爸爸，你们也会听到这个故事吗?是不是明白了我的心事，给我一片属于我自己的完美生活，给我那想要的自由?

你们听到了那个故事吗?

“有时，我也想要自由!”我大声地呐喊着，一阵阵的回音传入我的耳畔。我是多么希望有着自由的世界啊!

我喜爱的一个传统佳节是春节。过春节，也叫过年。意思是从这一年跨越到下一年。

过年的前些天，各家各户都已跃跃欲试了，争先恐后地到超市、商店去购买年货。我们也不例外。嗬!这儿被热闹、喜庆的红色包围了。只见超市的大门口、栏杆上，都有巨大的充气气球，上面有用金色的绒布拼出了“过年啦!”十分引人注目。大家伙儿的情绪全部都很高涨，有些窃窃私语，有些谈笑风生，还有些不顾形象地在往里面冲去，好像去晚了东西就没了一样。偶尔有经过的外国人，也微笑着点点头，看着那几个字用生硬的中文，一字一顿地说：“过年啦!”他的脸上神采飞扬，兴奋溢于言表。也许这是他第一次在中国过新年吧。那样子，有说不出，言不尽的欢喜和惊奇。经过的人都被他感染了呢。

再过几天，除夕夜——那可是最振奋人心的时刻了。那天，全家欢聚;那天，作文大家开心雀跃;那天，难以忘记。我们包饺子，吃年夜饭，看节目。全家欢聚一堂，屋里传来阵阵欢歌笑语声。老人们开心，小孩们快乐。浓浓的幸福将我们包围。

电视节目看到一半，突然窗外“嘭，啪”的声音传来。我一看，原来是烟花。如此绚丽多彩!我不禁蠢蠢欲动了。于是，我和爸爸也出去放。看着那五光十色的烟花，我不由自主地想象起来：有振翅飞翔的蝴蝶，有放声啁啾的小鸟，有的像大花盘，还有一朵像一只小心翼翼地张开雀屏的花孔雀……可是它们刚升上天空便结束了那短暂而璀璨的光芒。

我喜欢春节，因为可以给长辈拜年，他们会给我红包哦!还有一个原因，妈妈老家那里有个习惯，三十晚上的时候在枕头下藏几颗糖，初一早上醒来时，先不开口讲话，剥一颗糖吃了再开口说话，这寓意一年说的话都是甜甜蜜蜜的。

春节是个多么令人喜爱的传统佳节呀!

TheDragonBoatFestivaloccurs on the fifth day of the fifth moon of the lunar calendar(阴历). It is one of the three most important of the annual Chinese festivals. The other two are the Autumn Moon Festival and Chinese New Year.

The story of this colorful festival concerns a famous Chinese scholar-statesman(政治家) named Chu Yuan(屈原) who, some three centuries before the birth of Christ, served the King of Chu(楚怀王)during the Warring States period. As a loyal minister(大臣), Chu Yuan at first enjoyed the full confidence and respect of his sovereign(君主). Eventually, through the intrigues of his rivals, he was discredited(不足信的, 不名誉的).

Chu Yuan was never able to regain(恢复) the emperors favor and on the fifth day of the fifth moon in the year 295 B.C.(Before Christ), at the age of 37, Chu Yuan clasped a stone to his chest and plunged into the Milo River(汨罗江) in the Hunan Province(湖南省).

Respecting the minister as an upright(正直的) and honest man, the people who lived in the area jumped into their boats and rushed out in a vain search for him. This unsuccessful rescue attempt is a part of what the Dragon Boat Festival commemorates every year.

Probably the most exciting and interesting aspect of the festival is the racing of the Dragon Boats. These races not only symbolize the peoples attempt to save Chu Yuan, they also demonstrate the Chinese virtues(美德) of cooperation and teamwork.

Another activity of the Festival is the making and eating of a kind of dumpling called Tzungtzu (粽子). When it became known that Chu Yuan was gone forever, the people, living along the river, threw cooked rice into the water as a sacrifice(祭品) to their dead hero. They wrapped(包) rice in bamboo leaves(粽叶), and stuffed(填满) it with ham, beans, bean paste(豆沙), salted egg yokes, sausages, nuts, and/or vegetables.

To the Chinese the fifth lunar moon is more than just the Dragon Boat Festival. Since antiquity(古代), they have believed that this month is a pestilential and danger-fraught(瘟疫的及充满危险的) period. Children born in this month are said to be difficult to raise(抚养), and people tend to concentrate their efforts during this time attempting to protect their families from ills and misfortune. The day of the Dragon Boat Festival is customarily the time when cleaning and sanitation(卫生) are stressed(着重, 强调). Most families hang calamus(菖蒲) and artemisia(艾草) above their doors, both as a decoration and as a preventive against pestilence.

Ancient folk medicines(民间药物) such as realgar(雄黄酒)are added to the food eaten on the Festival day. This is believed to prevent disease and to promote a healthy digestive system(消化器官). The drinking of realgar in wine supposedly relieves(解除) the effects of poisons accumulated in human bodies.

The sachets (Hsiang Pao in Chinese香包) are very popular with children and they vie(竞争) with each other to collect as many as possible. Children are not the only ones who collect Hsiang Pao. Older people are often given them as a symbol of respect, and they are highly prized because of the intricate(复杂的) and beautiful embroidery(刺绣) that adorns(装饰) them.

The Dragon Boat Festival is an entertaining and enjoyable event. It gives the observer an opportunity to glimpse a part of the rich Chinese cultural heritage

1、Its Chinese name "Qing Ming" literally means "Clear Brightness," hinting at its importance as a celebration of Spring. Similar to the spring festivals of other cultures, Tomb Sweeping Day celebrates the rebirth of nature, while marking the beginning of the planting season and other

outdoor activities.

伟大的祖国有很多传统式的传统节日：有新春佳节、清明时节、端午......可是我喜欢的是新春佳节。

每每过年啦，一家人就忙得乐不可支,家中繁华无比。早晨，我和妹妹也没闲下来，大家拿着彩色卡纸赶到了窗前，便刚开始剪窗花。外婆告知我想大红纸贴窗花，这儿但是有故事的。很久很久以前一个“年”的怪物，他总是在每一年的最后一天来伤害人们，之后一个黑胡子祖父告知大伙儿。“年”最怕红色光亮。因此大家在大门口贴上红色的春节对联，红福字，红窗花因此就把年吓退了，以便留念此次赶走“年”，大家拥有“年”也就是新春佳节。

一边听奶奶的故事，一边剪窗花。我剪刀提心吊胆地剪着，害怕剪错。要了解，剪窗花可沒有很好剪，你如果将某一段剪长了或是是剪断了，那整一张纸便会坏掉。一段时间之后，我与学会放下剪刀的亲妹妹异口同声地叫道：“大获全胜!”把在大门口贴对联的母亲以及在阳台忙着挂大红灯笼的父亲确实也吓了一跳。父母放下了手上的活，看来我和妹妹的制成品。我剪了一只拥有

剪刀似小尾巴，小嘴尖尖的燕子，父母看了后不断夸赞。

中午，我和妹妹也赶到餐厅厨房帮助包饺子。我包了一次又一次，便是包出不来外婆包的漂亮饺子。外婆跟我说，我包的情况下力度不足。我汲取了经验教训，裹得用劲了一点儿。总算，我包出了一个像“金币”一样的饺子，我心理状态可真开心啊!夜里，我们一家人围在餐桌旁一边吃着饺子，一边看见新春佳节连欢晚会节目，简直欢欢喜喜。

就是我喜爱的新春佳节,你嘞?
