I have a good friend, we met each other when I was five years old. She is my neighbor and the first time I saw her, she smiled at me. It was her smile that made me feel she was a nice person to get along with. Indeed, she was a reliable friend. When I was in trouble, she would be the first person to give me a hand. Once I lost my key, when she heard, she tried hard to help me remember where I lost it. I am so lucky to have her as my friend. It is hard to meet someone who can make you feel safe and she is the one. She is the angel in my life.

My Favourite Festival

There are many traditional festivals in China. My favourite festival is the Spring Festival. It is a very important festival for Chinese. Before the festival, people will go to visit their relatives and friends. They usually have a big dinner together and give best wishes to each other. Most children in China love this festival because they can play fireworks and lucky money from their parents and relatives.

My mother, thirty years old, medium tall, slim figure, melon face, long with a bright long hair, every day wearing a ponytail, put in the back of the head to go. A pair of thin long eyebrows with a pair of water Lingling big eyes, high nose bridge with a pair of black box glasses, it is very gentle. I like to see my mother laugh, my mother laughed and exposed a white teeth, looks very good. You do not be confused by the appearance of my mother, but at home, but a "king" it.

I remember once, my mother told me to practice calligraphy words, I reluctantly, absent-minded, bent on watching TV, three times under the two write a few words written, then my mother came over and saw my word , Without any explanation, "snapped ... ... snapped ... ...", gave me two slap, pulled me just wrote the word, kneaded into a ball, torn to pieces, thrown into the trash, pointing to me, reprimanded: " With this attitude, but also want to write a good brush.

I clutching my mother had just hit the red face, silent, two drops of tears from the eyes of the flow out, I re-pick up the pen, seriously began to write. I know my mother is good for me, she often educated me: young and strong do not work, the boss was sad. My mom is a bit impatient, but she is very capable and hardworking. Morning, the day is not bright, my mother to get up early to do breakfast, laundry, and so on when we have a sumptuous breakfast to show in my eyes, fragrant.

Once, I talked to the foreign people, he was staring at me all the time,

which made me feel not comfortable, so I chose to avoid his eyes and kept a

little distance from him. When I talked about this problem to my foreign

teacher, she told me that it was natural for them to look at you during

communication, which meant respect. While in China, people do the opposite

thing. They try to avoid eye-contact, because it is not eased to look at each

other. The different culture sometimes creates distance. The foreigners always

feel strange when they look at Chinese people’s eyes and every time when they

want to come closer to hear more clearly, Chinese people will walk away. So the

more we learn about the culture, the more we know about the world.

Li Xiaohu spent too much time playing computer games and he fell behind

others. As a good/close friend of his， I must do something to help him.

First， I think it’s very important for him to learn lessons well. He should

spend most of his time on his study instead of computer games.

Secondly， I must tell him that playing computer games too much is bad for

his health， especially for his eyes. So he must give it up. I can play more

sports with him after school. Maybe he will become more interested in sports

than computer games. And then I‘ll ask him to concentrate more on his study. Of

course， I will try my best to help him with all his subjects. I think I can do

it in many fun ways and let him find much fun in studying. At the same time，

I’ll ask both his parents and our teachers to help him， too. If I try these， Im

sure he will make great progress soon.

We were very exciting,and satisfied.sometimes,we also go shopping and buying something we like.

Winter holiday life was really abundant!

When I come to the middle school, I feel so excited, because I want to

learn more knowledge and prepare for my future. Some of my friends are afraid of

the coming challenges, they think they can’t handle, but for me, life will be

wonderful with all kinds of challenges. It is the challenges that makes me

stronger. If everything comes to me without hard working, then I won’t cherish

it. I am so eager to meet the coming difficulties, I won’t give up no matter how

hard they will be. Some day when I look back on these days, I will not be

regretful of what I have done.

There is an old saying goes that failure is the mother of success. Everyone

confronts with failures even those famous and successful figures. Some people

say that failure lashes them to work harder. Some think that failures are so

depressing and we should not to make any failures. For me, I cherish failures

very much for we can realize our shortcomings from them.

First of all, we can learn from failure and get more experience. It is

indeed so disappointed when we confront with failure. However, we can always get

some experience from failures and makes us understand our weak point. If we can

learn from failure, then we will avoid such problem in the coming days.

Secondly, the more failures, the more successful we will be. As the old

saying goes that failure is the mother of success. The more failure we make, the

more successful we will be. If we make many mistakes, then we will learn a lot

from them and will do better when we meet the same kind of problems. This means

we will obtain great success if we meet more failures.

All in all, failure is a bad thing for people, but it is a good chance for

us to learn more from it and become successful in the future.
