当我第一次见张老师时，她给我的是一副严肃的面孔，我的心里很不安，做什么都是小心翼翼的。生怕做错了什么。后来我们和张老师相处的时间久了，我才知道张老师其实是一个和谒可亲，平易近人的好老师。她关心着每一位同学，给我们支持和鼓励，平时张老师总是细心的教导我们，犯了错误，她把我们叫到办公室严肃的跟我们讲道理，在考试前，张老师又总是会三番两次的提醒我们要细心的做题、检查。因为我的粗心大意，张老师经常找我谈心，让我信心十足的去答题。老师是您诲了我从学习中品尝乐趣，在乐趣中吸取知识。

When I first met Mr. Zhang, she gave me a serious face, my heart is very uncomfortable, what is with great care. Afraid of doing something wrong. Then we and Zhang live a long time, I know that Mr. Zhang is in fact a kind and amiable amiable and easy of approach, a good teacher. She care about each student, to give our support and encouragement, usually Zhang always careful to teach us, made a mistake, she called our office serious to tell us the truth, before the exam, Mr. Zhang will always remind us over and over again careful to do, check. Because I be negligent, Zhang often find my heart, let me full of confidence to the answer. The teacher is teaching me you taste the fun from learning, learning in fun.

老师啊!你那么辛苦，像一根蜡烛，慢慢地燃烧着自己。直到把自己的知识全部交给我们，她才放下心来。这时让我想到一首歌，《每当我走过老师的窗前》“静静的深夜群星在闪耀，老师的窗前彻夜明亮……”

The teacher! You work so hard, like a candle, burning themselves slowly. To put their knowledge to give us all, she will lay down their hearts. This reminds me of a song, "every time I pass the window of teacher" "silent night the stars shining in the night bright window, the teacher......"

张老师啊!这几年您一直辛苦的照顾我们，在这里我要对您说：“老师，您辛苦了!”，祝您教师节快乐。

Speaking of patriotism, we can think of many patriotic heroes at once. Qu Yuan embraced a patriotic passion to vote in the MI Luo river, which became a thousand ancient songs; Yue Fei backed the thorns of "faithful to the country", and let the world praise them; Wen Tianxiang "lament the lonely ocean in the lonely ocean" and "leave the heart to take the heart of the Qing Dynasty"; Liu Hulans knife before the knife is not low, and Huangs eye is not afraid in front of the eye of the gun. They stand up in front of the achievements, major issues issues of right and wrong, shaking heaven and Earth Spirit of patriotism. Read their stories, often let us respect, admiration and reverence arise spontaneously.

Today, I read the "the most tender, the most pure patriotic heart" in "the Beidou star of the change of life", I deeply feel that the original spirit of patriotism can also be interpreted so. Yes, the 8 year old Xin Yues greatest wish before leaving the world was to stand in front of the Tiananmen to see the flag raising ceremony and listen to the national anthem. Who can say that this is not the most sacred love of patriotism? Are those 119 volunteers just willing to fulfill Xiao Xins wish? Is this not the most real expression of their patriotic feelings?

Patriotism is not necessarily vigorous. In fact, it is not far away. It is around us. Every time the flag raising ceremony, we stand upright and respectfully salute, this is patriotism; the teacher is a hard gardener, we respect the teacher, listen to their teaching, and let oneself become a useful talent for the future construction of the motherland, this is patriotism. We respect our elders and care for them. This is patriotism. Perhaps someone will be surprised: "are these simple behaviors patriotic?" Yes！ From the start, the simple side of things, we can be in front of major issues issues of right and wrong.

Students, let us down from the trivial little things, for the love of the motherland and contribute our utter innocence! Let the Beidou star guide us and illuminate our direction.

Today was the first day of my new life. I looked at my new books and

worried.

Entering new school, I was curious about everything, new classrooms, new

teachers, new classmates etc. It would be a new start for each student. And what

I was worried about is that I had no friends here. I wondered if no liked to

play with me. Were the teachers strict with students?

I fell relaxed when the teacher asked me, What else could I help you,

freshman?". I found that the teachers were kind and polite, and the classmates

around me were friendly. While I was thinking about how to get on well with my

classmates, my desk mate showed me his favorite Ipad4s. He wanted to play with

me, but I didnt know how to play, so he taught me patiently, and we played

happily.

Worries have gone, and happiness is coming.

清明节是中国传统的节日，有两千五百年的历史;它主要的传统文化活动有：上坟、踏青、斗鸡子、荡秋千、打毯、牵钩(拔河)等。其中上坟(即扫墓)之俗，是很古老的。清明节，它作为传统文化，是个布满神秘色彩的节日,在这个日子里,路上的行人都在思念去世的人们，表达对他们的尊重与哀思!

过清明节，在海南的许多本地人中称其为“做清明”。中年人对清明节十分看重，即使不是作为法定假日，他们也会抽空回老家“做清明”。这说明清明节已经成为了一种文化，成为了一种后人对已故之亲人表达思念的一种方式。

清明，是中国传统文化的一种认可及尊重。清明是古人传统习俗中十分重要的一个节日，也是最重要的祭奠节日，是祭祖和扫墓的日子。扫墓俗称上坟，祭奠死者的一种活动。汉族和一些少数民族大多都是在清明节扫墓。按照旧的习俗，扫墓时，人们要携带酒食果品、纸钱等物品到墓地，将食物供祭在亲人墓前，再将纸钱焚化，为坟墓培上新土，折几枝嫩绿的新枝插在坟上，然后叩头行礼祭拜，最后吃掉酒食回家。唐代诗人杜牧的诗《清明》：“清明时节雨纷纷，路上行人欲断魂。借问酒家何处有?牧童遥指杏花村。”写出了清明节的非凡气氛。直到今天，清明节祭拜祖先，悼念已逝的亲人的习俗仍很盛行。而且越加受到人们的重视。

中国人受自身文化的影响，使清明成为了国人追思先祖的节日。在清明人们纷纷回乡祭拜祖先，这已是一种文化，一种习惯。

Ladies and gentlemen,From Chart 1, we can see high school students are from different family backgrounds.

Besides local students, who make up 91 percent, eight percent of the students are the children of non-local workers. Another 1 percent are foreigner students.

As is shown in chart 2, sixty percent of them intend to go to university, which is double the

number of those who will attend vocational schools. Besides, the other ten percent choose to go abroad for further study.

In conclusion, it seems clear that our city government has made more efforts to help the non-local workers, whose children can enjoy the equal right of a good education with the city

students. Also with the economic development of our city, more foreigners are attracted to set up businesses here and they are happy to send their children to local schools to learn more about China and Chinese culture. In addition, we have more freedom to choose what we would like to do after graduation. Going to college is no longer the only choice for most of us as it was years ago.

In some provinces of China people use different activities to commemorate this day for instance spring-outing swinging tree planting and making special food. One special food is Ay Tsao rice balls. It looks like Tang-yuan but its colour is green. Mix the ay tsao juice with the rice powder then make it into small balls. The Ay Tsao rice ball is done. People believe that eating ay tsao rice balls can get rid of the bad luck and everything will go smoothly. Other activities such as spring outing tree planting are the other ways to commemorate the forbears. For one thing it is a sign that people should look into the future and embrace the hope; for another thing we do hope our ancestor rest in peace.

在中国的某些省份人们通过举行不同的活动来纪念清明节。例如春游、荡秋千、植树以及做特殊的食物。其中一种特别的小吃叫艾粑粑。艾粑粑看起来像汤圆但它的颜色的是绿色的。把艾草汁和糯米粉混合在一起搓成小球艾粑粑就做好了。人们认为吃艾粑粑能祛除邪气让诸事顺利。其余的活动例如春游、植树都是纪念先人的方式之一。一方面这些活动告诉人们要展望未来拥抱希望;另一方面我们希望先人能安息。

清明是农历二十四节气之一，大都在农历三月，故古时又称“三月节”。清明节始于周朝，但它成为扫墓祭祀的节日，据说与介子推有关。清明节前一天，古时要禁火，只能吃冷食，故称“寒食节”。

古往今来的清明节，它包含两层意思：一指节气，二指节日。在我国二十四节气中，以节气兼节日的民俗大节只有清明。据考证，清明源于“清明风”。早在春秋时《国语》中载，一年中共有“八风”，其中“清明风”属巽，即“阳气上升，万物齐巽”。《岁时百问》解释：“万物生长此时，皆清洁而明净，故谓之清明。”

另一说，清明，表示天清地明的意思。史载，商朝末年，纣王乱国，周武王起兵伐纣，牧野一战，大败商师，平治天下。为此，周朝在制定历律，确定二十四节气时，将“三月节”命名为“清明”，标志天地清朗明净，既明气候，又扬政绩。

清明时节，劳动人民常用它来安排农事活动。每年清明一到，气温升高，雨水增多，正是春耕春种的大好时节。故有“清明前后，点瓜种豆”的农谚。

古代清明节文人踏青的风气也极盛行。历代文人墨客都有关于清明盛况的描写。最著名的当推唐代大诗人杜牧的《清明》诗：“清明时节雨纷纷，路上行人欲断魂。借问酒家何处有，牧童遥指杏花村。”这首诗不用典故，也没有浓艳华丽的辞藻，而是运用白描的手法，朴素的语言，为我们描绘出一幅淳朴的乡村风俗画，给人以美的艺术享受，读后令人神往。

清明节，也是祭祀先人的节日。唐代大诗人白居易的《寒食野望吟》云：“丘墟郭门外，寒食谁家哭。风吹旷野纸钱飞，古墓累累春草绿。棠梨花映白杨树，尽是死生离别处。冥寞重泉哭不闻，萧萧暮雨人归去。”描写了人们在清明节扫墓祭祀、缅怀先人、追悼亡灵的情景。时至今日，祭祖仍为民俗生活中的大事。每年清明时节，不仅环居祖墓的亲人要上坟祭扫，大批旅居海外的华人，港、澳、台同胞同样纷纷赶回祖籍，祭奠祖灵。陕西桥山黄帝陵、轩辕庙是中华民族的祭祀地，每当清明时节，民族亲情都在这里汇集、凝聚，从虔诚拜叩的肢体语言中，我们能读出血浓于水的民族情缘。

Because mother said that the day can go to sleep in the morning, because

The tomb sweeping day is one of the traditional festivals in China. On

April 5th, people start to visit their ancestors’ tombs. Generally speaking,

people will bring the home-made food, some fake money and paper-made mansion to

their ancestors. When they start to honour their ancestor, they will light up

some candles and incense, put some flowers around the tombs. The most important

thing is to put the home-made food in front of the tombs. The food, also known

as sacrifices, is usually made up with a chicken, a fish and some pork. It’s a

symbol of the offspring’s respect to the ancestors. People believe that the

forbears will share the food with them. The children dedicate the food and money

to their forbears in order to show their love and caring. The young offspring

will go down on their knees and pray for their ancestors. They can say their

wishes in front of the tombs and the ancestors will make their dreams come

true.

In some provinces of China, people use different activities to commemorate

this day, for instance, spring-outing, swinging, tree planting and making

special food. One special food is Ay Tsao rice balls. It looks like Tang-yuan,

but its colour is green. Mix the ay tsao juice with the rice powder, then make

it into small balls. The Ay Tsao rice ball is done. People believe that eating

ay tsao rice balls can get rid of the bad luck and everything will go smoothly.

Other activities such as spring outing, tree planting are the other ways to

commemorate the forbears. For one thing, it is a sign that people should look

into the future and embrace the hope; for another thing, we do hope our ancestor

rest in peace.

My home village is a beautiful village far from the town. There is a clear brook arcs around the village, making the vil]age like a peninsula.

我的家乡是一个远离城镇的美丽村庄，有一条清澈的小河弧形环绕着，看起来像一个半岛。

On one side of the brook, are farmlands stretching as far as the eyes can see with farmers busy in the fields. The sunshines brightly through the pure, fresh air. After dark, I liked to roam around the fields along footpaths. The feeling was excellent.

从小河畔望去，你会看到农民们在无垠的田地里忙碌的身影，明亮的阳光透过纯净的、清新的空气射过来。黄昏，我喜欢沿着田间小道漫步，那种感觉真是妙极了。

On the other side of the brook, there are many trees. There are lots of green bamboo groves. The trees offer nice shade in the summer, and birds like singing in them. The bamboos sway gently in the fresh summer breeze. The brook runs calmly anti quietly through all this greenness, making a very nice picture.

在小河的一边有许多树木，还有一片翠绿的竹林。夏天，绿树成荫，鸟儿们喜欢在这里唱歌，竹林在夏天的微风申轻轻摇摆,小河静静地在绿色中流淌，这些构成一幅美丽的。

This is my home village. It is far away in the country, but always with me,wherever I am.
