Dear Headmaster,

I am the minister of students‘ life in the Student Union. On behalf of all the students, I am writing to you to give our opinions about the canteen.

Our canteen has something satisfactory and something unsatisfactory as well. To our satisfaction, many kinds of the food are supplied to us. Besides this, the food is cheap and tastes good. We all enjoy the food. And the surroundings in the canteen have also been improved. But the quantity of a helping they give is not enough. The seats are not enough as well.Some students have no seats when eating.

Finally we advise them to improve the quality of the food and their service. We will feel very happy if these problems can be solved.

Yours,

XXX

尊敬的校长：

我是学生会生活部部长。我代表所有学生给您写信反映一下我们对食堂的意见。

食堂有令人满意的一面也有令人不满意的一面；令我们满意的是，食堂给我们提供了很多种类的食物。另外，饭菜价格便宜，味道可口，我们很喜欢。而且食堂环境也已经改善了。但是他们给的食物的分量不足。食堂的座位也不够，一些学生吃饭时没有座位。我们希望学校会考虑增添些座位。

最后我们建议他们改进饭菜的质量，改善服务。如果这些问题能被解决我们会感到非常高兴。

尊敬您的 XXX

COOD HEALTH良好的健康

We all wish (hope) to be happy, so we should take good care of our health.

Health is the best treasure (which) a man can possess. Money can do many things, but it cannot buy happiness. However, so long as man has good health, he can enjoy the pleasures of human life.

In order to insure good health we must pay attention to three things. They are-nourishing food, fresh air and proper exercise.

我们大家都希望快乐，所以我们应该好好保重健康。一个病人因为失去健康而很少快乐。

健康是一个人所能拥有最好的财富。钱能做许多事情，但是它却不能购买。然而，只要一个人有良好的健康，他就能享受人生的乐趣。

为了保证良好的健康，我们必须注意三件事情。它们是营养食物，新鲜空气和正当运动。

[初中英语日记.良好的健康

风景迷人的九龙江畔传来了“哗啦啦，哗啦啦”的流水声。边上有各种各样的小鹅卵石，走在上面让人感到非常舒服。鹅卵石的两旁，还有绿油油的草地，好像是小小的毛虫。一棵棵柳树立在绿油油的草地上，在风的伴奏下，挥舞着修长的手臂，好像在向路人挥手致意！在这优美的景色旁，有着好多高大的楼房，这就是我家居住的小区

来过这里的人们都说这儿的环境优美！可说起来，你们一定不相信吧！几年前，这儿还是一个郊区。有一大片农田，从这过往的行人，都要小心翼翼，如果一不留神，就会滑落到稻田里，弄得满身泥。可见这儿的变化是多么大呀！

在这美丽的九龙江畔，还有一条美丽的路，那就是——江滨路！

让我来做一个“小导游”吧！我带你们逛一下这美丽的大道。我们从漳州的风景区龙文塔出发，过了一个红绿灯，就来到了江滨路上，让我们整体的来看一下江滨路，江滨路是一条可以让六辆汽车行驶的大道，从上面驶过，感到平坦舒服，不会有一路颠簸的疲劳。这段路中间有一条花圃把车道分为左右两边，使来往的车辆不会相撞。让我们再看一看这儿的花圃，这儿的花圃种着紫的，红的，白的……花，每一朵花大小形状都相同，组成了一个又一个有趣的图案。现在大家应该感受到了江风把花香带来的心旷神怡的感觉了吧，其中还夹杂着一阵阵异样的阵阵香味，那是从江边小摊卖烧烤的地方传来的。随着车轮的飞转，我们一会儿就进入了有着防洪大堤的漳州市区了。以前这儿经常一下雨就积水，现在有了这个防洪大堤什么都不怕了。我们绕过大道中间有着百年历史的大榕树之后，就到了江滨路最繁华的地段。这儿的高楼鳞次栉比，姿态优美，造型独特。每到夜幕降临的时候，楼上的霓虹灯辉映着灯火通明的江滨路成了九龙江畔的一大亮点。过了防洪大堤，就来到了刚刚扩建的路段，这儿的花草都是刚栽上去的，感觉一切充满了生机。过了一个红绿灯，就到了漳州最著名的游泳馆“洋老洲”。这儿游泳的人可多了，在这儿训练的好几支游泳队还在省内外获过奖呢！江滨路的终点目前到120大楼，这儿的交警可多了，如果一出现车祸，这些交警就立马赶到，可真是尽职尽责的好警察呀！在这么风景优美的路段上，你肯定想象不到，几年前是什么样的？你们一定会认为跟现在一样，那你们就大错特错了，以前这儿整条都是泥路，上面坑坑洼洼的，汽车在上面行驶，给人感觉颠簸不平，骑着摩托车的，很多都会在这儿摘跟头。晚上没路灯，黑乎乎的看不见，人们都不敢走。没想到才不久，这儿就发生了这么大的变化！

有了这条江滨路，交通可便捷了。人人都说好呀！就说我们家吧，就感到了江滨路给我们带来的便捷交通。原本去爷爷家龙海和外公家天宝如果不想在市区里走走停停，就要走着坑坑洼洼的路。但自从市政府修了江滨路后，去龙海和天宝不过三四十分钟就到了，我也不会晕车了。这真是一条好路呀

这真是一条好路呀！大家都喜欢，这是大家的功劳，更是国家的功劳，在国家领导人的正确领导下，我相信漳州会发展得更快，变成更现代化的城市。

The summer vacation had come round again。 I was happy that I could forget about school at least for a while。 Lest I fool around all through this summer vacation， I made a plan as to how to spend it。 First， I thought I should go over all those things my teachers taught in the previous term so that I could have a better understanding of them。 Then I thought I should take up some forms of exercise， such as walking， running rowing， to keep me physically strong。 It stood to reason that with such a good plan I should make the best of my vacation time。 I did， because I lived up to what I had planned。

Great, thats great! At last I was looking forward to the holiday of national day. I can always relax and relax. My parents and I had an early appointment to travel by train during the national day. On this day, I got up early, and when everything was ready, my family set out. When we arrived at the square in front of the train station, it was already a sea of people, and we were crowding the railway station with the endless stream of people.

Into the waiting hall, here is a racket, crowded, we managed to find a space to sit down, I drink slobber, rest for a while, restless eyes began to look around. Not far away, a pair of silver - haired old couple helped each other, slowly sitting on their seats and talking in a small voice. On the other side, a few middle school students were laughing loudly. A tour guide, holding a small flag, is talking to the tourists of the tour group... "Why?" Suddenly, a sound of childish sound attracted me, I looked back, a chubby little girl sat on her mothers lap, "why together and we cant go out and play dad?" The little girl innocent eyes full of doubts, long eyelashes glitter, mother lovingly stroked the girls head, said softly: "your father is a traffic policeman, in order to ensure the safe travel, to the holidays will be more busy, can not go out to play with us." The little girl Sidongfeidong nodded, nestled in her mothers arms. I listened quietly, eyes unconsciously fall in the busy distance from time to time flashed, cleaners are carefully clean the ground, wiping tables and chairs, the policeman is patrols, warily watching the situation around the station staff smiling, patiently answer questions of passengers. It is their hard work that makes our trip safer and more convenient.

This picture, I have been deeply remember in the heart, when we celebrate the holiday with my family, we have to wonder whether this happy, how many people need to work to pay, and the family when we have a joyous gathering, to wonder whether and how many people still insist on work, not and your family reunion? These honorable men, let me say, "thank you!"

太好了，太好了！我终于盼来了国庆节长假，总算可以放松放松了，我和爸爸妈妈早就约好了国庆节期间坐火车去外地旅游。到了这一天，我早早地起了床，一切准备就绪后，我们全家出发了。到达火车站前广场时，那里早已是人山人海，我们随着川流不息的人群挤进了火车站。

走进候车大厅，这里更是人声鼎沸，热闹非凡，我们好不容易才找到空位坐了下来，我喝了口水，休息了一会儿，眼睛开始不安分地四处打量起来。不远处，一对满头银发的老夫妻互相搀扶着，慢慢地坐到座位上，小声地交谈着。另一边，几名中学生在大声地说笑着。一位导游举着小旗子，正在向旅行团的游客们说着什么……。“为什么？”突然，一声稚嫩的童音吸引了我，我回头一看，一个胖乎乎的小女孩儿坐在妈妈腿上，“为什么爸爸不能和我们一起出去玩而呢？”小女孩儿天真无邪的大眼睛充满了疑惑，长长的睫毛忽闪着，妈妈爱怜地抚摸着小女孩儿的头，轻声说道：“你爸爸是一名交通警察，为了保证大家的出行安全，到了节假日会更加忙碌，就不能陪咱们出去玩儿了。”小女孩儿似懂非懂地点点头，依偎在妈妈的怀里。我静静地听着，目光不觉落在了远处不时闪现的忙碌的身影上，清洁工人正在仔细认真地打扫地面，擦拭桌椅，警察叔叔正在四处巡逻，警惕地注视着四周的情况，车站服务人员面带微笑，耐心地解答着旅客的疑问。正是他们的辛勤工作，使我们的出行更加安全、便捷。

这一幅幅画面，都被我深深地牢记在心中，当我们和家人一起欢度国庆假期时，是否想过，我们拥有的这份快乐，需要多少人为之工作，为之付出，当我们和家人欢聚一堂时，是否想过，又有多少人还要坚持工作，不能和家人团圆呢？这些可敬的人啊，让我真诚地说一声：“谢谢您们！”

My Home Town

My home town is a beautiful place. It stands beside a wide river and is rich in fish and rice.

But in the old days it was a poor and backward little town. Many people had no work. They lived a hard life.

In 1949 my hometown was liberated. Since then great changes have taken place there. The streets have been widened. Factories, schools, hospitals, cinemas and theatres have sprung up one after another. The life of the people is greatly improved.

I love my hometown. All the more I love its people. They are working hard so as to make it still richer and more beautiful.

Nowadays, with the development of technology, the market competition is

fierce and people feel great pressure. In order to improve the working

efficiency, they force themselves to work overtime. However, they are not

machine and need to slow down life pace, or they will break down sooner or

later.

We cant slow down the working hour, but we can control our private time. A

lot of young people mix with working time and private time, so they cant enjoy

their life and feel depressed all the time. The smart person will find the

balance. They will put aside the working stuff when the clock tells them that it

is time to be off work and find the way to release their pressure, such as

KTV.

Spending the time with friends and families is always a good way to enjoy

our time. No matter what kind of difficulties we face, when we recall of these

happy moments, we will have motivation to move on. We cant choose everything we

want, but we can adjust ourselves to the environment and keep the good mood.

Once life pace slows down, we control our life.

As time goes by, there are going to be big changes in our everyday lives in the future. For example,

As time goes by, there are going to be big changes in our everyday life. For example, when we are hungry, we dont need to cook in a hurry. Just take some pills, and everything will be OK. When we are free, we can go anywhere by spacecraft. It will be very cheap, just like taking a taxi now. And of course, if we want to see what is like under the sea, just travel down there in a flying object like UFO. Maybe there will be a lot of cities and people living there. I think itll be very easy to travel anywhere, not only in our world, but also in space and in the deep sea.

People always say in one life, they can’t be sailing plainly, it means people will meet all kinds of difficulties and they are easy to feel frustrated, the one who gets over frustration, the one who becomes successful.

When we meet difficulties, we must learn to face it in the optimistic way, so we can see the hope and have the faith to move on.

The difficult moment is just the small interlude of our lives. As the saying that failure is the mother of success, so we need to learn lessons from failure and then when the time comes, we will get successful. Facing frustration is unavoidable, if we can handle it well, we will win.

人们总是说人的一生不可能一帆风顺，这意味着人们会遇到各种各样的困难，他们很容易会感到受挫，谁能走出挫折，谁就能获得成功。当我们遇到困难，必须要学着去乐观面对，这样我们才能看到希望，有信念前进。困难时刻不过是我们生活的小插曲。俗话说失败乃成功之母，我们要从失败中学到教训，当时机到来，我们就会成功。面对挫折是不可避免的，如果我们能处理好，就能赢得胜利。

我的家乡在无时无刻的变化，人们的生活水平也大大提高了。比如说我们家乡的住房从简陋的楼房到美丽的高楼大厦；从以前的粗茶淡饭到现在的大鱼大肉，变化可真大呀！

听爸爸说：改革开放前，我的家乡次营镇还是一个贫穷的乡镇。到处都是一片片的田野，家乡的人们住的都是茅草屋，用石头堆砌的屋，生活过得非常艰苦，哪家有困难了，都有可能无法生存下去。现在改革开放以后，次营从贫穷的乡镇逐渐走向富裕，以前人们住的都是泥砖屋，茅草屋，现在每家每户都住上高楼大厦，以前到处都是一片田野，现在到处是高楼大厦，以前的公路是烂泥路，现在是宽阔的柏油路，当时只有少量公共汽车，现在人们生活改善了生活质量提高，许多家庭都拥有私家车。过去连通往乡村的公路也没有，现在汽车有了，一通通道家门口，可方便了。

听妈妈说：改革开放前家乡的人们的衣着朴素单调，都是用麻布做的，颜色都是一种，不漂亮，而且还很宽大，行走不便，有的小孩甚至还穿着哥哥姐姐穿破了的衣服；改革开放以来，人们的衣服样式丰富多彩：有皮草衣，有小夹克，有单衣，有棉衣，有短袖衣，有中袖衣，有长袖衣，有迷你超短裙，有长裙，还有连衣裙，有长牛仔裤，有短牛仔裤，有条绒裤，还有单裤，有绵长筒袜，有绵短筒袜，有长丝袜，有短丝袜，现在的人们穿的还很时尚个性，2009年还流行蝙蝠衣。现在穿的衣服颜色五花八门，有七彩色的，有红，有橘，有黄，有绿，有紫色等，穿上不宽不大，可漂亮了。

听外公说：刚建国时期，家乡人们的生活贫困，食不果腹或粗茶淡饭就只能填饱肚子，有的家庭孩子多，饭不够吃，大人为了让孩子吃饱，不吃饭，都有可能饿死。 改革开放前，很有改善，但食物匮乏单调、票证盛行，人们营养不足，有些农村没有解决基本的温饱问题 。改革开放以来，人们不但吃饱，还可以吃好，营养均衡，粗细搭配，而且有些家庭现在还搞“忆苦思甜”的活动，现在绿色食品深入人心。

啊！家乡，你和祖国一样翻天覆地的变化让个次营镇的镇民都为你感到骄傲，虽然你现在平平凡凡，普普通通，但是，我相信，你总有一天会非常辉煌！

我的家乡贵州贵阳有一项风俗，每年春节初二上山去拾柴，回到家以后再吃一顿热腾腾的酸汤火锅。

我还记得2017年春节，我和爸爸妈妈初二一大早就去黔灵山公园拾柴，那一天天气晴朗、阳光普照。我们到公园门口时，售票处已经人头攒动、车水马龙，进到公园里面更是人山人海，湖边、山坡、山顶到处都是人流，满山的树丛中都看得到人的身影。公园里到处听得见杜鹃鸟、布谷鸟、喜鹊叽叽喳喳的叫声，就好像在演奏一支交响乐；看得见黄色的迎春花、粉红的樱花、纯白的玉兰花尽情地开放，还散发出一些沁人心脾的清香，使人恨不得凑进了狠狠地闻一两下。人们三五成群，在赏花、跳舞、唱歌、演奏、登山，最重要的是在山里面拾柴。因为柴火的柴跟财运的财谐音，所以人们把上山拾柴就当成是上山拾“财”，回家再拿红布把它包起来，就寓意着来年会发财。我们随着人流逛了大半个公园，然后也捡了几根柴回家了。

回家以后，我们在家里吃了一顿酸汤火锅。在锅里烧开水后，倒入用西红柿熬成的底料，再根据个人的口味加入配菜。酸汤颜色鲜红，寓意着来年的生活红红火火、热气腾腾。酸汤并不辣，反而酸酸甜甜的，只要一凑近，这酸汤浓郁的香气，就会从锅中倾泻而出，闯到鼻孔中，让人沉醉在这香气中。这酸汤里煮出来的东西，也被这酸汤的酸甜给“渲染”了，在自己的本味中掺杂着酸汤的气味，使得整个酸汤火锅更加开胃可口。

拾柴和酸汤带给了人们许多的好运，所以这项风俗很受人们的欢迎，只可惜今年受新型冠状病毒疫情的影响，人们不便出门，公园也关闭，无法上山拾柴了，我多么希望这场疫情赶快过去，人们可以继续在阳光下的公园中享受美好生活。

【—之怎样交朋友】下面是老师为同学们带来一篇关于我怎样交朋友的范文，供同学们写作时参考。希望对同学们有帮助。

How to Make Friends

For some, it’s easy to make new friends in school because they are outgoing. But for some others, it seems difficult. Here are some tips to make friends.

对有些人来说，在学校交友很容易，因为他们很外向。但是对其他人来说，这似乎比较困难。以下是交友的几点建议。

Firstly, be positive and outgoing. Only when you are positive and outgoing, others would like to talk to you and then make friends with you. Secondly, develop some interests. It’s easier for people to make new friends when you have common interests. They can supply topics to discuss. Thirdly, be a good listener. Let people talk about themselves before you talking about yourself. Finally, try to help your friends when they are in trouble, because a friend in need is a friend indeed.

首先，要积极外向。只有当你积极外向的时候，别人才会喜欢和你交谈然后和你做朋友。其次，发展一些兴趣。当有共同兴趣的时候，交新朋友对人们才更容易。他们能够提供可讨论的话题。再次，做一个好的倾听者。在你谈论自己之前先让别人说说他们自己。最后，当你的朋友遇到困难的时候尝试帮助他们，因为患难见真情。

怎样交朋友在我们交友的过程中是很重要的一件事，交到好朋友则一生受益，否则相反。

in the u。s。 mothers day is a holiday celebrated on second sunday in may。 it is a day when children honor their mothers with cards， gifts， and flowers。 first observance in philadelphia， pa。 in 1907， it is based on suggestions by julia ward howe in 1872 and by anna jarvis in 1907。

although it wasnt celebrated in the u。s。 until 1907， there were days honoring mothers even in the days of ancient greece。 in those days， however， it was rhea， the mother of the gods that was given honor。

later， in the 1600s， in england there was an annual observance called "mothering sunday。" it was celebrated during june， on the fourth sunday。 on mothering sunday， the servants， who generally lived with their employers， were encouraged to return home and honor their mothers。 it was traditional for them to bring a special cake along to celebrate the occasion。in the u。s。， in 1907 ana jarvis， from philadelphia， began a campaign to establish a national mothers day。 jarvis persuaded her mothers church in grafton， west virginia to celebrate mothers day on the second anniversary of her mothers death， the 2nd sunday of may。 the next year mothers day was also celebrated in philadelphia。

jarvis and others began a letter-writing campaign to ministers， businessmen， and politicians in their quest to establish a national mothers day。 they were successful。 president woodrow wilson， in 1914， made the official announcement proclaiming mothers day a national observance that was to be held each year on the 2nd sunday of may。

many other countries of the world celebrate their own mothers day at different times throughout the year。 denmark， finland， italy， turkey， australia， and belgium celebrate mothers day on the second sunday in may， as in the u。s。
