在额尔古纳市的西南部，矗立着几座黄色格调的大楼，这就是我们的学校。

一进校园，第一眼看到的就是粉刷一新的教学楼。教学楼共有四层，每层有八、九间宽敞明亮的教室。每间教室里都有一台专门讲课用的电脑，崭新的桌椅，还有漂亮的板报。每一间教室里都显得生气勃勃，我们每天都在这里学习知识、探讨问题，让自己快乐成长。

Remember I carefree as a child, had to play, play to eat. But as the growth of the age, to enter the school, homework more and more every day, to back of the book is also more and more. Will be at six in the morning mother cried at 7 o clock that into an endorsement, and carrying a heavy schoolbag go to school. Always because of a composition in school and exams, and they were afraid their exam is bad, being criticized by the teacher, be mother scold.

Remember once, I got eighty, found that is not careful to do wrong, the in the mind is very sad. Thought after go home, mom to give me some comfort, but given my surprise, my mother did not give me comfort, but also scolded me, said: "not, you wont do, you are careless, as in this case, how can you get into a good high school? Go, take my mother to buy the homework do 2 pages, and then show it to me check." My in the mind very sad, but still dragging tired ShenQu walked into the study, I saw the textbook of word, dizzy, I thought, if only I could lie on the bed to sleep ten days that how good ah! But thats impossible.

You know, in the process of the growth of life there are a lot of joy, nor without trouble, when you have had a trouble of "attack", that youre one step closer to success.

在每个人成长的过程中，都不会一帆风顺，经常会遇到很多伤心事和烦恼事。

记得我小时候无忧无虑，吃了玩，玩了吃。可是随着年龄的增长，进入学校，每天的作业越来越多，要背的书也越来越多。每天早上六点就会被妈妈谎说成七点叫起来背书，并且还要背着沉重的书包去学校。在学校里总是因为作文和考试而烦恼，就怕自己考不好，被老师批评，被妈妈骂。

记得有一次，我考了八十几分，发现都是自己不小心做错的，心里非常伤心。本以为回家之后，妈妈能给我一点安慰，可出科我意料的是，妈妈不但没有给予我安慰，而且还骂了我一顿说：“看，不是你不会做，都是你粗心大意造成的，像这样的话，你怎么能考上一个好中学呢?去，拿妈妈买的课外作业做二页，然后拿给我检查。”我心里很难过，但还是拖着疲倦的身驱走进书房，我看到课本上密密麻麻的字，头发晕，心想，要是我能躺在床上睡个十天八天的那该多好呀!可那是不可能的。

要知道，在人生的成长过程中有很多欢乐，但也少不了烦恼，当你经历了一次烦恼的“袭击”，那你离成功就更近一步。

As time goes by,it is the most meaningful day in the year---Spring

festival. Everyone is looking forward to it and the families are busy preparing

for it besides me.

I got up early in the morning ,and then I went to the shop with my parents

to do some shopping. After going back home,I cleaned the house,doing some

housework.Everything is ready,I am waiting for you ---Spring festival.

参考译文

时光荏苒，又到了一年中最有意义的时刻——共度春节。每个人都盼望着，期待着，家家户户都在忙碌地准备着，当然也少不了我!

一早，我就起床了，接着和爸爸妈妈一起去了趟超市，采购一番。待购物后，我们开心的回了家，回家后，我帮家里打扫了屋子，做了一些力所能及的家务活。一切准备就绪，现在我整期盼着春节的来临!)

When we are very small, we dream to be the great person in the future, such as the scientist, the policeman and so on. It is good for the children to own the big dream, so that they will study hard and fight for their future. But the fact is that not all the person can become the great person, most people are doing the ordinary jobs. In my opinion, ordinary is beautiful, too. Though they are not doing the fine jobs, they find their own place and make a contribution to the world. Take the cleaner for example. They wake up early and do the cleaning work. People dare not to do the job because it is so dirty, but the cleaners decorate the city with their hard work. The cleaners are the ordinary people while doing the great job.

在我们很小的时候，梦想将来成为伟大的人，比如科学家，警察等等。孩子有伟大的梦想是好的，这样他们就会努力学习，为他们的将来奋斗。但是事实上，并不是所有的人都能成为伟大的人，大部分人都是做着普通的工作。在我看来，平凡也是美丽的。虽然他们没有做着体面的工作，但是他们找到了自己的位置，为社会做贡献。就拿清洁工来说。他们早早起来做清洁。人们不敢做这份工作，因为脏，但是清洁工通过努力工作去装饰了这个城市。清洁工虽然普通，但是他们却做着伟大的工作。

In fact, on November 11th, 2013, Tmall and Taobao (the biggest Chinese online shopping platform) has sold out more than 35 billion Yuan goods, this data has astonished the media at home and abroad. Apparently, people have more interests on cyber shopping than spend the night with their single friends. Some home media even suggest that November 11th should be the Chinese on-line shopping carnival.

Comparing with the traditional shopping, the cyber shopping has more distinguish features, which quite fit the young generations’ taste. People do not need to go outside, just click their mouse, the goods will be home. The best part is you can do it anywhere, anytime. All you need is a credit card.

我很高兴可以在这个课堂上做一次演讲。这一次，我想谈谈英语。我的话题是我爱英语。

正如每个人所知，英语在今天十分重要。它已经被应用到世界的各个角落。它已经成为商业上最为通用的一门语言并广泛的用于国际贸易。如果我们能说好英语，我们就有更多的机会成功。因为越来越多的人注意到这一点，学英语的人数正在已很高的速度增长。

但是对我而言，我学英语不仅仅因为它的重要性以及它的实用性，更是因为我喜爱英语。当我学英语时，我可以体会到一种不同的思维方式，它可以给我更多接触世界的空间。当我读英语小说时，我能感受到不同于阅读翻译文的快乐。当我说英语时，我可以感到自信。当我写英语时，我能够感到不同于汉语的那种美……

我爱英语，它给了我一个色彩斑斓的梦。我希望有朝一日我可以畅游世界，用我流利的英语，我可以和世界各地的人交友。我能看到许多的名胜。我希望我能够到伦敦去，因为那里是英语的故乡。

我也希望用我流利的英语来将我们的名胜介绍给说英语的朋友，我希望他们可以像我们一样的爱我们的国家。

我知道，罗马不是一天筑成的。(成功需要日积月累。)我相信在持续不断的努力学习下，总有一天我可以拥有一口流利的英语。

如果你想被爱，你就应该学着去爱他人。所以我相信我对英语的爱定将换来它对我的爱。

我相信总有一天我会实现我的梦!

谢谢!

Today, as the development of technology, people can change their faces by doing plastic surgery, because of the commercial ads, people are highly effected by the exaggerated facts that they can be the shining stars. So people pay special attention on the outlooks, they want to look perfect, as far as I am concerned, the true beauty is nothing with perfect looking, only the inner beauty makes you shining. In the fairly tale of Cinderella, the prince chooses the poor girl instead of the beautiful girls, because he admires Cinderella’s inner beauty, though she is nobody. Though it is just a story, it tells people that inner beauty makes one outstanding. People can make their faces perfect, but there is no way to fulfill their inner beauty by technology. Inner beauty is the most precious thing, beautiful outlook will fade away with the time, but inner beauty won’t, it only getting valuable.

今天，随着科技的发展，人们可以通过做外科手术改变自己的外貌，由于商业广告，人们深深受到那些夸张效果的影响，相信自己可以成为耀眼的明星。因此人们很关注外表，他们想要让自己看起来完美，就我看来，真正的美丽和完美的外表无关，唯有内在美才能让你耀眼。在童话故事《灰姑娘》中，王子选择了那个可怜的女孩而不是那些好看的姑娘，因为他欣赏的是灰姑娘的内在美，虽然她没有地位。虽然这只是个故事，它告诉人们内在美让一个人出众。人们可以通过科技让他们的外表完美，但是内在美却是无法通过科技得到的。内在美是最宝贵的东西，美丽的外表会随着时间而消逝，但是内在美不会，它只会更加珍贵。

When the Arbor Day approaching, many residents would have bought it with his saplings, go to the forest planting, but it still very few, planting trees is far less than being cut down trees, so it is easy to cause the rapid growth of the natural disaster, if we plant a small tree, every day a person for a year 366 tree planting trees, along the way, can make our world more beautiful, the air becomes pure and fresh, natural disasters and less. But now from the perspective of environment crisis, natural disasters, more want to escape also can not escape, this is all we humans created, who cant complain.

随着科技越来越发达，世界人口也随着迅速增加，许多农民因为生活贫困，想发大财，就上山砍伐树木作为经济来源，为此，造成了水土流失，引起灾难的到来。

每当植树节来临，许多居民就会带着自己刚买的小树苗，去荒林种植，可这样还是很少，种植的树木远远比被砍伐的树木少，这样很容易引起自然灾难的迅速增长，如果我们每天种植一棵小树，一个人一年共种植366棵树苗，这样下去，就会使我们的世界变得更美丽，空气变得清新，自然灾害也随之而少。但从现在的环境来看危机四伏，自然灾害多，想逃避也逃避不了，这都是我们人类创造出来的，抱怨不了谁。

将来灭绝的生物将会是我们人类!

And eats dinner, every day.

Now he’s sitting in his favourite chair

Too tired to laugh or play.

He reads his book or newspaper

To learn what’s new today.

Soon he’ll go to bed.

He’s a boring man, my dad.

Then I see him working,

On the building site.

He’s high up in the clouds

Higher than a kite

He’s walking on a narrow piece of wood

Not worried about the height,

Not afraid, not afraid like me.

He’s a superman, my dad.

他每天回到家，洗个澡，

吃晚饭。

现在他坐在他最喜欢的椅子上

太累了不笑也不玩。

他读书或者看报

了解今天又什么新的消息。

一会儿他就上床睡觉。

我的爸爸，他是个无聊的人。

后来我看见他在工作，

在建筑工地上。

他高高地在云端

比风筝还高。

不恐高，

不害怕，不像我一样害怕。

Halloween (or Halloween) is an annual holiday observed on October 31, which commonly includes activities such as trick-or-treating, attending costume parties, carving jack-o-lanterns, bonfires, apple bobbing, visiting haunted attractions, playing pranks, telling scary stories, and watching horror films.

History

Historian Nicholas Rogers, exploring the origins of Halloween, notes that while "some folklorists have detected its origins in the Roman feast of Pomona, the goddess of fruits and seeds, or in the festival of the dead called Parentalia, it is more typically linked to the Celtic festival of Samhain, whose original spelling was Samuin (pronounced sow-an or sow-in)".The name is derived from Old Irish and means roughly "summers end".Snap-Apple Night (1832) by Daniel Maclise.Depicts apple bobbing and divination games at a Halloween party in Blarney, Ireland.The name Halloween and many of its present-day traditions derive from the Old English era.

The word Halloween is first attested in the 16th century and represents a Scottish variant of the fuller All-Hallows-Even ("evening"), that is, the night before All Hallows Day.[4] Although the phrase All Hallows is found in Old English (ealra hālgena mæssedæg, mass-day of all saints), All-Hallows-Even is itself not attested until 1556.

11月1日 -- 万圣节 All Saints Day

11月2日 -- 墨西哥的鬼节 Day of Death

万圣节(All Saints Day, All Hallows Day或Hallowmas) 是每年11月1日的欧美大节日。

Halloween 是 All Hallows Eve 的缩写，万圣节前夜的意思，指10月31日的晚上。

For thousands of years people have been celebrating different holidays and festivals at the end of October. The Celts celebrated it as Samhain (pronounced “sow-in”, with “sow” rhyming with cow)。 The Irish English dictionary published by the Irish Texts Society defines the word as follows:

“Samhain, All Hallowtide, the feast of the dead in Pagan and Christian times, signalizing the close of harvest and the initiation of the winter season, lasting till May, during which troops (esp. the Fiann) were quartered. Faeries were imagined as particularly active at this season. From it the half year is reckoned. also called Feile Moingfinne (Snow Goddess)。(1) The Scottish Gaelis Dictionary defines it as ”Hallowtide. The Feast of All Soula. Sam + Fuin = end of summer.“(2) Contrary to the information published by many organizations, there is no archaeological or literary evidence to indicate that Samhain was a deity. The Celtic Gods of the dead were Gwynn ap Nudd for the British, and Arawn for the Welsh. The Irish did not have a ”lord of death“ as such.

The Celts believed that every year on the last day of October, the souls of the dead visited the earth.www.

When the Romans conquered the Celts in the first century A.D., they added parts of their festivals, Feralia and Pomona to the tradition. Feralia was a festival to honor the dead and Pomona was a harvest festival named after the goddess of fruit (apples) and trees.

Around the eigth century, the Christian church made November 1 All Saints Day to honor all of the saints that didnt have a special day of their own. Over the years these festivals combined, the mass held on All Saints Day was called Allhallowmas (the mass of all Hallows - saintly people)。 The night before was known as All Hallows Eve. Eventually this name became Halloween.

In the 1800s, as a lot of people emigrated to the U.S., the holidays and traditions of different cultures merged. Halloween was not always a happy time. October 31, or the night before took on other names. Some called it Devils or Hell night, to others it was mischief night. Here in Vermont, the night before is called cabbage night. To some people this became a time to play tricks on others. Some of these tricks were not fun at all. Luckily, community groups and individuals took action and started to change Halloween into a family event. Dressing up in costumes and going ”trick or treating“, costume parades, community parties and Fall festivals are some of the ways that Halloween is celebrated today.

Other countries have different Fall festivals to honor the deceased.

The Festival of the Dead is one of the most important happenings in both Palermo and the rest of Sicily. The second of November is a festival day for the children of Palermo as, according to tradition,they were made to believe that their dead relatives would return the night before and leave them traditional sweets and cakes on the table (Martorana fruit, which is almond paste made into the shape of different fruit)。 They would also receive puppets of boiled sugar and toys. Its one way of keeping the memory of their dead relatives and loved ones alive.

一年中最”闹鬼“的这天夜里，各种妖魔鬼怪、 海盗、 外星来客和巫婆们纷纷出动。在基督纪元以前，凯尔特人在夏未举行仪式感激上苍和太阳的恩惠。

当时的占卜者点燃并施巫术以驱赶据说在四周游荡的妖魔怪。后来，罗马人用果仁和苹果来庆祝的丰收节与凯尔特人的10月31日溶合了。

在中世纪，人们穿上动物造型的服饰、 戴上可怕的面具是想在万圣节前夜驱赶黑夜中的鬼怪。尽管後来基督教代替了凯尔特和罗马的宗教活动，早期的习俗还是保留下来了。现在，孩子们带着开玩笑的心理穿戴上各种服饰和面具参加万圣节舞会，这些舞会四周的墙上往往悬挂着用纸糊的巫婆、 黑猫、 鬼怪和尸骨，窗前和门口则吊着龇牙裂嘴或是面目可憎的南瓜灯笼。孩子们还常常试图咬住悬挂着的苹果。

美国和加拿大的孩子们在这天穿戴上古怪的服饰去按邻居家的门铃，并按传统发出”是款待我还是要我耍花招“的威胁。邻居们不管是否被吓着，总是准备了一些糖果、 苹果等点心，孩子们则一一收入自己的袋内。

万圣节其实不是基督教的节日。2500年前，爱尔兰的凯尔特人(Celts)以10月31日为一年的最後一日，11月1日是新一年的开始，也象徵冬天的来临。

凯尔特人相信死亡之神Samhain在10月31日的晚上会和鬼魂一起重返人间，寻找替身。因此他们燃点火炬，焚烧动物以作为死亡之神的献礼。还会用动物的头或皮毛做成的服饰打扮自己，发出古怪的声音，使死亡之神认不出自己，避过灾难。这就是今天万圣节化妆舞会的由来。过了当晚，鬼魂回到阴间，一切回复平静。

基督教兴起，教徒沿袭万圣节传统，万圣节的意义慢慢改为纪念为献身於神而死亡的人(holies)。

附带一提，11月2日是墨西哥的鬼节(Los Dias de los Muertos, Day of the Dead)。当天家家户户都烘烤动物造型的面包和煮鸡肉等食物，并在供桌上面放置玩具，以期待早逝的孩童们回到家中玩耍。也可以陈列鲜花、 水果、 照片和彩绘的骷髅头，接待仙逝长辈。

墨西哥人认为，鬼魂和人一样需要及时行乐，所以鬼节宛若一场嘉年华会，人们带着面具到处游走，吃骷髅形状的糖，面包上还装饰有鬼的形像。黄昏时刻，全家人一起到墓园清理墓地，妇女们或跪或坐整夜祈祷，男人们交谈或唱歌，在子夜中烛光忽闪忽灭充满了整个墓园，游唱歌者为已逝亡者的灵魂高歌吟唱。

There are many festivals in China. Among them, I like the Spring Festival most.Not only because it’s the biggest festival in the year, but also because it’s a new beginning that brings hope to people and it’s time for family gathering.Before the festival, people come home no matter where they are.Usually, we have a big dinner on the New Year’s Eve. And then families sit together and share their lives or planes.Some will play games or hang out to have some fun.

On the New Year’s Day, people get up early and say good words to anyone they meet.Children can get lucky money from relatives.In the following days, we will visit relative’s home and bring New Year’s wishes to them.In short, it’s a time for family gathering and all of us enjoy it.

在我国，一年有很多节日，在这些节日中，我最喜欢春节。这不仅因为它是一年中最大的节日，更因为它是新一年的开始，给人们带来新的希望，也因为它是亲朋好友团聚的时刻。不管身在何方，人们总会在春节前回到家里准备过节。

通常，我们会在除夕夜吃一顿丰盛的晚餐，之后家人团座一起，分享一年以来的生活以及新年计划。有的人则会玩游戏或者出去玩。大年初一，人们通常会早起，会与见到的人说吉祥话。孩子们会得到压岁钱。在接下来的几天里，人们会带上新年祝福互相串门拜年。总之，春节是一个欢聚一堂、供人享乐的日子。

正月初一那天，天气晴朗，万里无云，我和爸爸，妈妈，小表叔一起去公园划船。到了公园，人真多呀!连划船都要排成长长的队伍，爸爸去买了船票，我们在那里排队等了一个多小时，好不容易才等到了一个空船，我们赶快上了船。

我和小表叔坐在船的最前面，爸爸妈妈坐在后面。我和小表叔轮着掌握方向盘，爸爸妈妈在后面蹬着划船。我们在水里转来转去，玩的高兴极了。正在高兴时，忽然看见我们的船正直直往正前方的一条手划船上撞去，把划船的叔叔阿姨吓的赶紧转弯，把我们俩笑的肚子疼。妈妈说我没掌握好方向便让小表叔掌握方向，我想抵赖，于是就说：“还没到时间呢!”小表叔好象知道我在骗他，就说：“哥，时间是不是到了。”我爸爸说：“时间到了，浩悦让你小表叔来掌握方向。”我极不情愿的让给了他。也不知道今天是怎么了，总有船和我们相撞，刚才我们撞人家的船，现在又有人家的船来撞我们，我们的船劲大，把它撞的转了个弯，又把我和小表叔乐得哈哈大笑。又有一条汽船朝我们驶过来了，爸爸叫我们赶快转弯，我们立刻就转弯躲了过去。

我们看到岸上有人在跳舞便把船划了过去看，看的正美时，岸上有人说我们的船时间到了，叫我们停船靠岸，我们很快把船划了过去，上了岸便回家了。

那天我和小表叔玩的太开心啦!既划了船又知道怎样掌握船的方向，这事就是我寒假里最有趣的一件事。
