The Mid-Autumn Festival has all interesting history. Long ago in one of the

dynasties of China there was a king who was very cruel to the people and did not

manage the country well. The people were so angry that some brave ones suggested

killing the king. So they wrote notes telling about the meeting place and time

and put them into cakes.

On the 15th day of the 8th lunar month every person was told to buy the

cakes. When they ate them they discovered the notes. So they gathered together

to make a sudden attack on the king. From then on the Chinese people celebrate

on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month and eat moon cakes in memory of that

important event.

When the Mid-Autumn Festival is near, shop windows are beautifully

decorated. Many moon cakes are displayed for people to buy. People send presents

such aswine, fruits and moon cakes to their friends and relatives. In the

evening of the day, they have a feast. After the feast, they go out to the

garden to look at the moon. The children run and laugh on the streets.

It is believed that the moon is at her brightest on this night. Many poems

have been written about it, and poets are never tired of reading and writing

such poems. In Chinese literature, the moon of the Mid Autumn Festival has been

compared to a looking-glass, a jade rabbit, and so on. It seems that Chinese

literature takes far more interest in the moon than in the sun.

Its so convenient and interesting to join a tourist group. When you travel

with a tourist group, you don’t need to book plane and train tickets, and you

dont have to care about where to live and what to eat either, because the

travel agency will arrange everything for you. All you need to do is to follow

the tour guides. They will take you to all the places of interest. They will

tell you stories about the interesting places and help you to learn local

culture. This is called a package tour.

A cruise trip is so comfortable and relaxing. You travel on a large sea

cruiser and enjoy the beautiful scenery. When you come up to a nice place, you

can get off the cruiser and visit there. When you are on board, you can lie on

the deck, watching the blue sky, the white cloud and the bright sun, and you

will be free from stress. Besides, there are so many nice activities on the

cruise. For example, you can watch movies; you can see concerts; you can go

swimming in the swimming pool; you can play cards; you can play golf; you can

watch wonderful performances; and you can also attend dancing parties. Nothing

could be more wonderful and relaxing.

Nowadays, backpacking tour has become so popular. Its not just a low-cost

travel for budget travelers, but also a nice entertainment. When you have a

backpacking tour, you can use public transportations like buses and subways and

stay in hostels instead of big hotels, which can save you a lot of money. Today,

this kind of travel is especially popular with young people, because they can

discover the interesting places and know more about the local cultures by

themselves. Its so exciting.

If you want to have a better understanding of a place, you can have a slow

travel. When you have a slow travel, you had better spend at least one week

living in one place, stay with a local family and visit interesting sites near

your living instead of rushing around for a long day to see the must-sees. In

this way, you can make more local friends, taste local food, and know the local

traditions and customs deeper. Only so can you become more knowledgeable and

widen your experience.

It depends on your need to choose the way you want to travel.

Before I went to middle school, I lived with my grandparents. At that time,

I stayed in the country, which was the most beautiful place for me. Early in the

morning, I walked along the country road, appreciating the fresh air. We raised

a little dog. He was my best friend, and he accompanied me all the time. No

matter what I did and where I went, the little dog was with me and I loved him

so much. Sometimes I would pick up the fruit in the garden, sometimes I would

catch the fish in the clear river. It was such a happy childhood for me that I

will never forget.

Halloween is on the last day of October, it is very popular in the western country. On that day, people will dress in the horrible style, especially for the kids, they will knock from door to door. If people dont give them the candy, the children will play tricks on them. But in China, more and more young people like to follow this trend, they will play the roles and find some fun. As for me, Id like to join some activities on the Halloween. My friends always have some funny costumes, so I will borrow one from them. Then we dress together, when night comes, we will come to join the party. We sing and dance. It is such a fun night. Before the midnight, we will get together and take some drinks. We talk about the happy hour. I like these activities.

万圣节在10月的最后一天,它在西方国家很受欢迎。在那一天,人们会穿着恐怖风格的服装,尤其是孩子们,他们会挨家挨户敲门。如果人们不给他们糖果,孩子们就会捉弄他们。但在中国,越来越多的年轻人喜欢追随这个潮流,他们会扮演角色，找到乐趣。至于我,我喜欢在万圣节参加一些活动。我的朋友总是有一些有趣的服装,所以我会借一件。然后我们一起打扮,夜幕降临时,我们将会来参加聚会。我们唱歌跳舞。这是一个有趣的夜晚。在午夜之前,我们会聚在一起,喝饮料。我们谈论快乐的时光。我喜欢这些活动。

The air we breathe is so freely available that we take it for granted. Yet without it we could not survive more than a few minutes. For the most part, the same air is available to everyone, and everyone needs it. Some people use the air to sustain them while they sit around and feel sorry for themselves. Others breathe in the air and use the energy it provides to make a magnificent life for themselves.

Opportunity is the same way. It is everywhere. Opportunity is so freely available that we take it for granted. Yet opportunity alone is not enough to create success. Opportunity must be seized and acted upon in order to have value. So many people are so anxious to "get in" on a "ground floor opportunity", as if the opportunity will do all the work. Thats impossible.

Just as you need air to breathe, you need opportunity to succeed. It takes more than just breathing in the fresh air of opportunity, however. You must make use of that opportunity. Thats not up to the opportunity. Thats up to you. It doesnt matter what "floor" the opportunity is on. What matters is what you do with it.

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.

During weekdays, I am busy, because I must go to school. I usually get up

at 6:30 a.m.. And then I do some washing. After that, I will have my breakfast

at 6:50. I usually go to school at 7:15. Now, I can go to school and come home

by myself. I have four classes in the morning and three in the afternoon. I have

my lunch at home. I study Chinese, math, English and some other subjects at

school. At night, I can watch TV or play computer. But I have to finish my

homework first. I usually go to bed at 10:00 p.m..

Many people ask what happiness is. I don’t know why there are many people

asking this question, because I think happiness is simple. As for me, I feel

happy when I do a good job in my study. Teachers praise me and my parents are

happy. Or, when I help others I feel happy. I am proud of myself. Besides,

playing with my classmates or friends is happy, too. We always have a great time

together. From above, they are all happiness.

May 12th, 2008. That’s the most mournful day for our Chinese that will

never be forgotten, because a horrible earthquake happened in Wenchuan, which

caused tens of thousands of children’s death.

On hearing the news, I felt so sorrowful. “Why was the god so cruel to

them?” I asked. They were still at the entrance of the life. They seemed like

little eagles that were willing to open their wings and hover in the sky. Maybe

they would have their brilliant future. What a great loss to our nation! I had

my deepest sympathy on the people in the disastrous area. So I donated some

money and clothes to them. And I also prayed for the dead people sincerely. I

eagerly hope that there would be no earthquakes in the future, so that we could

live a more peaceful life.

The Duanwu Festival, which is also called the Dragon Boat Festival, is an

ancient Chinese traditional festival, celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth

lunar month. For thousands of years, various celebrating activities are held all

around the country. Eating zongzi and racing dragon boats are the most pertinent

ones, which are said to be in memory of Qu Yuan, a great poet. In some places,

people spread realgar wine on the children in the hope of protecting them from

the evil spirits. Many people consider May as an especially dangerous time for

diseases in a year, and therefore they hang moxa and calamus and things like

that around the doors to ward off evil and diseases and pray for good luck.

Now, the summer holiday is coming to the end. I really spend a rich but

happy holiday. As a junior student, I am not totally free in the summer holiday,

because study is still an important part in my life. In the first month of the

holiday, I study at home to finish my homework. There are many tasks I have to

finish. Besides, I have to go to the English and mathtraining class, because I

am weak inthe two subjects. Therefore, I need some extra training. After that, I

visit to my father with my mother. My father works in other province and I have

not seen him for half a year. My mother and I miss him very much. We spend near

a month with him.When my father is free, he often takes us go out. We are happy

together.

Every year, my school holds sports meeting in about October, I am very

exciting about it, I can watch the wonderful game and don’t have class. My

school’s sports meeting lasts three days, the class is suspended, all the

students go to the play ground to watch the game. As an audience, I am so

nervous and yell out “come on” to my classmate, watching they get to the final

line, I am so proud of them. The part I like most is relay race, that is so

exciting, all the students yell loudly, the athletes chase one by one, nobody

can be sure who is the champion until the last minute. Sports meeting bring me

so many beautiful memories.

When doing the same thing, some people success but some fail. There must be

many factors leading that result. In my view, the most important factor is the

difference of confidence, determination and sociability are the foundation and

condition of success.

First of all, no matter who want to success, they must have confidence, as

confidence is the basic need for success. If someone always thinks he can’t do

this or that well, then he can’t finish it well. For example, when a person is

being interviewed, if he doesn’t believe he can do that job well, how can he act

believable, so how can the interviewers trust his ability? Therefore, the

interview is obviously a failure. However, if a person is confident, he can

receive the opportunity to prepare for every challenge easily, which makes

success become closer.

In addition, confidence just the door for success, if someone wants to get

into the house of success, determination is necessary. The determined meet

difficulties always overcome it and insist to the end. On the other hand, if

someone is not determined, he would give up when facing difficulty. For

instance, when doing homework, the person who is not determined always can’t

finish perfectly and even copy from others when he thinks that homework is hard

to finish. However, the person who is determined always can finish it well,

because he know what he really wants and he is able to carry on.

The last but not least is that no one can do anything well by themselves,

so they need help. At that time, sociable is helpful. It is well-known that

success is hard to reach. Therefore, people need others to help them. A sociable

person can get help easily, as he has so many friends. On the other side, a

person is not good at communication, when he gets in trouble, maybe no one helps

him. So we can see the importance of sociability to success.

In a word, there maybe not only confidence, determination, and sociability

are essential to success, but I think they are the most important ones, for they

are the foundation and condition of success.

I’m going to the sun on my holiday. I will go there by a spaceship. I will

take a big blue spaceship. Then I’ll pilot the spaceship to the sun. The sun is

very hot. So I put on the super-shirt. In the morning, I will have some sun

burger for my breakfast.

At eight o’clock, I will play with my friends there. They are super dog and

super girl. Super dog is white and black. Super girl is very clever. Super girl

and super dog like to play with me. So I play with them for forty minutes. Then

I do my homework in my little red room on a small blue table. After my home

work, I will have my lunch. I will eat sun salad. I will make some red toy bear

to the sun babies. I will have red juice, red fish and red rice. All the things

are red. Then I need a lot of water on the sun because the sun is too hot. So I

will walk to the spaceship. I’ll pilot the spaceship to the earth.

This is a good holiday on the sun.

In my family, there are only three people, my parents and I. because of my

parents’ work, they could only have one child at that time, so I don’t have any

siblings. I felt so lonely when my parents went out for their work. Now the

government changed their policy, people can have the second child. But some

people refuse because they think they can’t afford it. Despite the expense,

there are many advantages to have the second child. For one thing, the only

child can have someone company, so they won’t feel lonely on the process of

growing up. For another thing, two kids will help each other, they can share

things together. Learning to share things is a very important lesson for

children. In Chinese tradition, more kids, more better, but I think two are

perfect for the family.

According to the Chinese tradition，at the very beginning of a new year，

when there is a bright full moon hanging in the sky， there should be thousands

of colorful lanterns hung out.

During the Lantern Festival， people will try to solve the puzzles on the

lanterns and eat yuanxiao (glutinous rice ball)。

In the Sui Dynasty in the sixth century， Emperor Yangdi invited envoys from

other countries to China to see the colorful lighted lanterns and enjoy the gala

performances.

By the beginning of the Tang Dynasty in the seventh century， the lantern

displays would last three days. The emperor also lifted the curfew， allowing the

people to enjoy the festive lanterns day and night.

In the Song Dynasty， the festival was celebrated for five days and the

activities began to spread to many of the big cities in China.

Today，3the displaying of lanterns is still a big event on the 15th day of

the first lunar month throughout China.

The fillings inside the dumplings or Yuansiao are either sweet or salty.

Sweet fillings are made of sugar，Walnuts，sesame，osmanthus flowers，rose petals，or

jujube paste etc. A single ingredient or any combination can be used as the

filling . The salty variety is filled with minced meat，vegetables etc.

Of the fruits of the year I give my vote to the orange. In the first place

it is a perennial--if not in actual fact, at least in the greengrocer’s shop. On

the days when dessert is a name given to a handful of chocolates and a little

preserved ginger, when macédoine de fruits is the title bestowed on some raisins

and two prunes, then the orange, however sour, comes nobly to the rescue; and on

those other days of plenty when cherries and strawberries and kiwi-fruits riot

together upon the table, the orange, sweeter than ever, is still there to hold

its own. Bread and rice, beef and mutton, eggs and milk, are not more necessary

to an ordered existence than the orange.

It is well that the commonest fruit should be also the best. Of the virtues

of the orange I have not room fully to speak. It has properties of health

giving, as it cures influenza and establishes the complexion. It is clean, for

whoever handles it on its way to your table but handles its outer covering, its

top coat, which is left in the hall. It is round, and forms an excellent

substitute with the young for a tiny football. The pips can be flicked at your

enemies, and quite a small piece of peel makes a slide for an old gentleman.

But all this would count nothing had not the orange such delightful

qualities of taste. I dare not let myself go upon this subject. I am a slave to

its sweetness.

Yet with the orange we go live year in and year out. That speaks well for

the orange. The fact is that there is an honesty about the orange which appeals

to all of us. If it is going to be bad--for the best of us are bad sometimes--it

begins to be bad from the outside, not from the inside. How many a pear which

presents a blooming face to the world is rotten at the core. How many an

innocent-looking apple, is harboring a worm in the bud. But the orange has no

secret faults. Its outside is a mirror of its inside, and if you are quick you

can tell the shopman so before he slips it into the bag.

Generally speaking, life in high school is busy and fulfilling, due to the

ultimate goal---College Entrance Examination. Many people say that there is no

fun left but bored study and endless exercises. However, as a high school

student, I can’t agree with them. Personally, I live a fruitful but happy life

in high school. It can’t be denied that study is my priority that I must spend

most of my time and energy on it. Sometimes, study may make me frustrated or

even drive me crazy, but I still can adjust my mood to enjoy my life. Besides, I

can also get a sense of achievement when I do well in my study or make progress.

The most important is that my friends bring much happiness to me and my parents’

care inspires me to go on. I think friends in high school are my best friend

forever, because they know me a lot and witness all of my emotions. They are the

persons who grow with me. In addition, teachers in high school care much about

our students both in study and life, and classmates are always friendly to each

other. We build deep friendship together. All of these make up my fruitful life

in high school, which I will cherish forever.

Nowadays, most children, who are the only child in the family, are given

too much love by their parents. It is because that they are protected from

hardship and difficulties, they become less independent. However, a spoiled

child will have a hard job to live in this competitive society. We should know

the fact that no parents can keep a good company with their children for the

whole life. Thus, parents should encourage their children to do whatever they

can, so as to develop their abilities of independence.
