Persimmon smile red face, like a small lanterns hanging on the branches. Pomegranate laughed his mouth, red fruit like a red agate.

I‘m sure if we take care of our environment, our world will be more beautiful!

现在我们的环境越来越糟。人们把他们的垃圾这里和那里。工厂使越来越多的脏水污染了河流和湖泊。我们应该做些什么呢?

There are four seasons in a year.My favorite season is summer .Because when the summer is coming .I can change the beautiful skirt and I can go swimming .I like the swimming pool very much.In summer ,all things are bright.I can go to a lot of places that I like.In summer holiday,I also can spend my holiday with my parents and we can go to the Forbidden City.How interesting !

The four seasons accompany us and make our lives interesting.Summer is when everyone has fun under the warm sun,autumn is the time of harvesting,and winter’s white snowflakes decorate the bare earth and trees.But it is spring’s vitality that fascinates me the most.

I remember when I was a small child,my favorite season was winter.But one thing made me change my mind.

I loved playing in the garden and climbing trees when I was small.But I realized one autumn day that golden leaves had started to fall from my favorite tree,and by winter its branches were already bare.I thought that it had died,and would never turn green again.

When my father knew why I was crying,he told me:“The tree hasn’t left you.It’s just resting.I promise in three months,that tree will be prettier than ever.” I believed what my father said and waited for three months.

Sure enough,when the time came,the tree was greener and taller than ever.Sprouts started to stretch their heads out of the melting snow,and creeks and streams started to run again freely.

From then on,spring has become my favorite time of the year because its vitality brings me happiness.

一年有四个季节。我最喜欢的季节是夏天。因为夏季即将来临。我可以改变这个漂亮的裙子,我可以去游泳。我非常喜欢游泳池。在夏天,一切都是光明的。我可以去很多地方,我喜欢。在暑假,我还可以花我的假期和我的父母和我们可以去故宫。多么有趣!

四季陪我们,使我们的生活有趣。夏天是当每个人都有有趣的温暖的阳光下,秋天是收获的时候,冬天的白色雪花装饰裸土和树木。但这是春天的活力,最让我着迷。

我记得当我还是个小孩,我最喜欢的季节是冬天。但有一件事使我改变了主意。

我喜欢在花园里玩,爬树的时候小。但我意识到秋天的一天,金色的树叶已经开始从我最喜欢的树,和冬天的树枝已经光秃秃的。我以为它已经死了,不会再变绿了。

当我父亲知道我为什么哭,他告诉我:“这棵树就没离开过你。只是休息。我保证在三个月内,那棵树将会比以前更漂亮了。“我相信我的父亲说,等待三个月。

果然,的时候,这棵树是绿色的,比以往任何时候都高。豆芽开始伸展头上的雪融化,自由和小溪,小溪又开始运行。

从那以后,每年的春天已经成为我最喜欢的时候,因为它的生命力给我带来了快乐。

He was a teacher when he was young. At that time, he was very kind，honest and hardworking. His pupil always said he was a good teacher. Now he is retired. Beside my grandpa was me. I was a cute, healthy baby. But at that time, I had no hair, so I often wore a hat. I was a very naughty baby too. I was always in trouble. But my grandpa said who was not naughty when he was young. Maybe naughty is the children’s nature. So, I like my grandpa very much. I think he knows the children very well.

We were happy in the old house. But now, my family move into Shawan, so we are far away from my grandpa. One year ago, we got a letter from my grandfather. He said he would come to Shawan to see us. I am very excited. I hope that day can come soon. At that time, we will be very happy together.

countries, for some rich people, they dont trend to leave much fortune for

their kids, instead, they use the money to educate their children and cultivate

them to be the wise persons. The rich people leave the invisible fortune, which

is their fame. Their children can have more chances to do their business or

receive better education with their family names. The wise rich men know the

best way to educate their offspring. They teach skills and the way of thinking,

which values everything.

在这个愉快的寒假里，我学了如何整理自己的房间，学会了炒鸡蛋，但是我最大的收获是独立拼出好几个电子拼图，它使我懂得了只有细心和耐心才能做好一件事。

我的电子拼图有很多大大小小的椭圆形电子零件，只要将这些零件按照说明书组装就可以拼出各种形状的航模。组装它们不是一件容易的事，要有足够的细心和耐心才行。我先按说明书拿了几个零件拼，可是感觉拼出来的模型歪歪扭扭的，也不会转动。于是就把它们拆掉重新拼。第二次，我重复上次拼拼出来的也还是不像，反复几次总是拼不好，我感觉我的耐心渐渐失散，就把它丢到一边不管了。妈妈看到后说和我一起拼，于是我们对照说明书重新开始，一点一点检查，原来我把两块相似的零件搞混了，所以拼出来的模形是不会转动的。

当拿着拼好的第一个模形时我很开心，我知道不论是拼模型还是做其它事情，光有耐心是不够的，还要有足够的细心才行。

后来我又拼出了好几个各种各样的模型，感觉很有成就感。

The first winter, due to lack of food, cold weather, disease rampant and overworked, the settlers died more than half. The second year spring, the local Indian tribal chiefs, Masaso de led the kind-hearted Indian, gave the Puritan grain seed, and teach them to hunt, planting crops, fishing etc.. With the help of the Indians, the pilgrims had a good harvest. The first governor William Bradford has proposed the establishment of a festival to celebrate the harvest, thank you for the gift of god. At the same time, also want to take a holiday to strengthen the harmony between whites and indians. In late November 1621 Thursday, 90 Indians have a joyous gathering the Pilgrims and Massa Soder, celebrated the first Thanksgiving USA history. Male pilgrims go out hunting, capture Turkey, women in the home with corn, pumpkin, sweet potato and fruit to make delicious food. Thus, whites and Indians around the bonfire, chat while eating, but now singing, now dancing, the celebration lasted three days.
