Its important for us to be healthy all our life. We cant study or work well without healthy body.

Therere many ways to keep healthy. First of all, we should keep taking exercises every day. We can walk to school instead of taking a bus. After school, we can spend an hour playing ball games. If we live in a high-rise, we can walk upstairs or downstairs. Second, we should have a balanced diet. Finally, we must remember: "Early to bed, early to rise is the way to keep healthy, wealthy and wise."

At night, the sky becomes a colorful kaleidoscope.There are all kinds of firecrackers on the ground, red and red lanterns.From a distance, ah!It is more beautiful than spring, hotter than summer, richer than autumn, and more magnificent than winter.

夜晚，天空变成一个五彩缤纷，光彩夺目的万花筒;地上有各种各样的花炮，红红火火的灯笼。从远处一看，啊!比春天还美丽，比夏天还红火，比秋天还丰富，比冬天还壮观!

Blue sky white clouds, clear pledge ", when heard the words of the lyrics, the situation here is as in the word can describe the same. Nowhere to escape the sun pledge according to the heat. Alas - once the leafy village are now built a small house. In this new era, in a little bit of modern human, and the earth began to a little bit of become scarred, become overwhelmed.

According to research, the green coverage rate reached 30%, the carcinogenic substances in the air can fell by 58%, carbon dioxide at least by 90%, but now dont say those big cities, is even we this small country is doomed.

When summer arrives, sorching summer, cement road tan as hot as the red coals in the kitchen. Not a piece of green plays for us to talk, everyone stay at home, alone the cool, from a distance is very bleak.

Plants also is life, people are enjoying provide rich resources, it gives us life bring us countless convenience at the same time, should learn to be grateful. I can conveniently, for example: plant to filter and absorb the dust in the air is good, it is understood that the atmosphere through the forest, can reduce the amount of dust, 32% fly ash quantity reduced by 30%!

Dear classmates, greening can bring us a lot of good life, why dont we take action? Let us join hands and according to the requirements of the ecological civilization, cherish the nature, protect the environment, we will be more beautiful tomorrow!

蓝蓝的天空白云飘，晴空万里当头照”，当听到这句歌词时，此处的情景已如词里所形容的的一样了。太阳当头照酷暑无处逃。唉—曾经绿树成荫的小村如今都建起了小洋房。在这样的新纪元里，人类在一点点的现代化，而地球却开始一点点的变得伤痕累累，变得不堪重负。

据研究，在绿化覆盖率达30%的地段，空气中的致癌物质可下降58%，二氧化碳至少下降90%，可如今不要说那些大城市，就是连我们这个小乡村都难逃厄运。

一到夏天，炎炎酷暑，水泥路晒得如同灶里的红炭一样炙热。没了成片的绿茵供我们嬉戏畅谈，所有人都呆在家中，独自乘凉，远远望去甚是凄凉。

植物同样是生命体，人们在享受它给我们生活提供丰富的资源，带给我们无数便利的同时，应该学会感恩。我可以随手举个例子：植物对空气中的灰尘有良好的过滤和吸收作用，据了解，大气通过林带，可使尘量减少32%，飘尘量减少30%！

亲爱的同学们，绿化能带给我们生活许多好处，我们为何不行动起来呢？那就让我们携起手来，按照生态文明的要求，珍爱自然，保护环境，我们的明天一定会更加美好！

一个阳光般和暖的微笑就能映照出一天彩虹般的心情。 A sunny and warm smile can reflect a rainbow -like mood.

正能量是一种积极向上，乐观开朗的生活态度。传递正能量，可以倡导时代新风尚，可以激起你前进的动力。

再反观现实中，冷漠似乎已成为我们的一种习惯，我们可以对一个被车碾过的小孩视而不见;也许可以对因路滑倒在街上的老人熟视无睹。负面的能量似乎在暗中隐隐涌动、汇集。如果没有正能量，万物枯萎，动机都会停下，人类更是无法生存。

我们需要正能量，给自己充满正能量，给社会传递正能量。

正能量时刻在我们身边存在，就在这个学期中，我校有位高三的学生不幸被查出患有白血病，就快要面临高考了，可他还要饱受病魔的折磨，为了使他能坚强的活下去，我们只有默默地祈祷，祈祷他能抗病魔成功，每个学生都捐出了自己的爱心，让医生给他更好的治疗，这说明我们在传递正能量。

最近发生的长江“东方之星”客轮翻船事件，总理在飞机上召开会议部署客船翻沉事件救援工作时就强调：调集一切可以动员的力量，采取一切可以采取的措施。不惜一切代价做好人员搜救，参与现场救援的解放军、武警官员还有海军工程大学潜水队的成员，他们日夜都坚守在救援一线，让人感触深远!我们也感受到了社会正能量的强大。

当然，就是在高考的这几天，传递正能量的的人也有许多，像出租车司机他们都免费地把考生安全送到考场，而且政府在交通方面给考生们建立起一个安全通道，在考试期间，车辆在考场附近时，不准鸣笛等等，这都是正能量的体现。

所以，这些事都让人感受到浩然正气，让人活得风生水起，阳光明媚，激浊扬清的正能量，能为整个社会提供强大的道德支柱和精神力量。

我们不盲目伟大，我们只做伟大分子，我们的社会就会伟大，我们的民族就会伟大，我们的国家就会伟大，让我们一起传递正能量，让正能量支撑起我们前进的脚步!

上周四的月考结果出来了，本班成绩是意料之中的糟糕，从入学成绩来看，我班英语有20几个不及格，这就已经奠定了后来的结果，很多事情真的是大家都心知肚明的。也许，是真的我水平有限，都是从初一接手的新生，差距怎么就这么大呢?

从成绩分析来看，满分有3个，90分以上的20个。差距就在这一部分上，在平时上课提问来看，只有这一部分同学比较积极，而80分以上的有12个，这些同学，需要在平时多加提问和关注，争取到更高的层次上来。70分以上的只有2个，60分的只有一个，中间力量太薄弱了，可以争取的太少了。剩下不及格的，都在十几二十几三十几分左右，真的是太难提高了，而且，这部分同学不光英语不及格，其他科目也这样，我现在束手无策了。不过，我也不能放弃他们，在期中考试之前，多下点功夫，希望能有所提高。英语在现在来说还是比较重要的科目，如果一开始就不及格，就很难再提高了，所以，对那一部分不及格和六七十分的同学，课后补补课，能提高多少是多少吧。

教学反思

上一周我们学校进行了一次月考，试卷下发后我进行了深刻反思。我班学生人数相对其他班少，现有人数47，及格44人，满分一人，90分以上28人，70到90段13人，本次试卷是一单元检测题，题目没有做过但比较简单，全在课堂教学训练的范围，通过分析尖子生太少，需要加强对尖子生的培养和训练，提高90分以上学生的做题能力，努力打造70到90段学生，加强对这一段学生的辅导和督促。前一段教学从26个字母开始，对学生要求平等，这次通过成绩发现了学生的差异，根据学生成绩，在以后的教学中加强分层教学，减轻学生心理压力，提高学生学习效率。在教学中注重培养学生[此文转于斐斐课件园 FFKJ.Net]良好的学习习惯，提高学生认真细心做题的能力。

教学反思

上周四学校进行了月考，试卷是第一单元检测题，试题的安排非常合理、科学，注重基础知识，但是也有能力的提升，是一份比较好的试卷。学生的成绩并不是很好，虽然90分以上的人数不少，但是学生的答题情况并不理想，有一部分学生的单词拼写，大小写方面不规范，应该大写的没有大写，说明学生的习惯养成不好，以后在这一方面要加强对学生的要求和训练。还有课代表和老师和学生之间的不协调，不[内容来于斐-斐_课-件_园 FFKJ.Net]同步，很多时候老师布置的作业不能按时完成，课代表和学生互相推卸责任，长期下去势必会影响成绩，所以要加强师生的沟通，团结协作，更好的提高学生的成绩。

The Chinese Spring Festival comes on the first day of the Chinese Lunar Year, which is usually in February. There is a name for each year, such as the dog, the monkey, the tiger or one of the twelve animals, and this year is the year of the horse.

Before the New Year’s Day, the Chinese people usually give their houses a good cleaning and on the last evening of the old year, all the members of a family will get together and have a big meal. On the first or second day of the new year, people usually go to visit their relatives and friends and give some lucky money to children.

I wish you have a good time during the Spring Festival.

中国的春节是在中国农历的第一天，通常是在二月。每年都有一个名字，比如狗、猴子、老虎或十二生肖中的一种，今年是马年。

在新年到来之前，中国人通常会给他们的房子做个大扫除，在旧年的最后一个晚上，所有的家庭成员都会聚在一起吃一顿大餐。在新年的第一天或第二天，人们通常会去拜访亲戚朋友，给孩子们一些幸运的钱。

祝你在春节期间过得愉快。

Last Monday when I stepped into my classroom, my monitor told us that our class teacher, Mr Sun, had passed away in a traffic accident. It seemed so unbelievable because he used to give us lessons on Monday morning. I couldnt accept the fact until the headmaster came to tell us the truth.

Mr Sun was a middle-aged teacher. He was full of sense of humour. We all liked him very much because of his excellent teaching. His lessons were usually very lively and interesting.We all liked to attend his class. He was an experienced teacher.

Mr Sun will always live in our hearts!

Halloween is how beautiful!

万圣节是西方国家的节日，传说在万圣节那天，会有鬼。所以很多人在家里制作了南瓜头，晚上来吓唬别人;还有小孩在别人家敲门说着：不给糖就捣乱;还有人用电子邮箱发贺卡来祝福……

万圣节是在十一月一日。在西方的国家，一片热闹：

一个叫红红的小女孩正在跟着一群小伙伴们一起到别人家敲门，口里念着：不给糖就捣乱，快给糖果，不然我真的要捣乱啦。那个人的家打开了门，给了小朋友们糖果，嘴里微笑着说：给你们糖果吃，不要捣乱哦，快走吧，去别人家好好地玩，祝你们快乐。红红和小伙伴们到另外一个要糖果吃，嘴里还吃着香香的糖果，对那个叔叔说：不给糖就捣乱，给糖果吃，不然我们就要捣乱哦。可是那个叔叔非但没有给他们糖吃，还骂了他们一顿：“去去去，你们别来捣乱，别去我家要糖果，你们快点滚出去，去别人家要糖果，别到这儿来。”红红和小伙伴们哭了，垂头丧气的走到另一家，“啊!有鬼啊!”“别怕是我。”一个戴着南瓜头的叔叔说道，原来是你啊，小伙伴们和红红红惊呆了，这位吓唬我们的叔叔竟然是不给我们糖的叔叔，那位叔叔见伙伴们和红红很惊讶，解释道：“大家不用怕我，我只是逗你们玩的，来来来，叔叔给你们糖果吃。”小伙伴和红红领了糖果，嘴里一片欢笑。

万圣节虽然有时又会被别人吓，但也可以要糖果吃。

万圣节是多么美好啊!

Im looking for a weekend. Its happy and its free. This is my dream.

At this weekend, I dont have to play the violin; I dont have to draw pictures; Olympic Maths is far away from me; Handwriting doesnt bother me.

I can play and I can sing; I can do everything interesting. No one can stop me.

Oh, what a happy weekend! But, its only my dream. I hope it will come true.

In my early years, I did not see the value of education.

When I was going on thirteen, I started to run my own shop. From then on, I worked hard to become a successful businessman.

One day I realized the importance of the English language in the business world and started taking night classes.

I was able to communicate well with foreign customers after two years of English study. But I started to feel that, in the long run, having a limited knowledge of English was not enough to make my business successful. I knew that only a well- rounded education could guarantee my success in the future.

When I was eighteen, I had to make a decision to continue doing business or go back to school. There was one obstacle keeping me from getting an advanced education. I had only completed elementary school up to that point. I then went back to senior high school after four months of tutoring in different subjects. Being at school for the first time after so many years was somewhat embarrassing because my classmates were at least two or three years younger than I. I concluded that my age did not matter. The important thing was getting into college.

I took the College Entrance Exams. Although my math exam result was only one point below the required score. I never gave up hope. The following year, I took it again and received the highest score in my city. Achieving such an amazing result gave me encouragement and courage necessary to continue my education to the next step.

I am now in my second year of college and know that it is never too late to learn. My passion for studying and improving myself will never come to a halt as long as I continue to live.

“Live and Learn.” is the motto I have adopted. I believe with an education I will succeed. So, if you are wondering whether education is important, don’t hesitate a moment to step up and seize the opportunity.

In the last century, the government carried out the policy of family

planning to control the increasing population. So most families have only one

child, but recently, a new policy has been announced and people can have the

second child. It sounds like the good news for the family, as the only child can

have a sibling to company. While for some parents, they seem to be not the

qualified parents. A boy complained that his parents’ second child was the smart

phone, because they lowed down their heads all the time. Many parents did not

realize the lack of communication with their children. If they want another

child, they’d better learn to communicate their kids first.

The Jacksons spend their happy time on Sundays. They get up early in the morning. After breakfast, they go to church. There they meet a lot of people. They like to talk with them.

After they leave the church, the Jacksons go to the park. They go boating happily. Then it is time to have lunch. They have a picnic under the tree. After lunch the children begin to fly kites while the couples are fishing by the lake.

In the afternoon the children play on the lawn while Mr. and Mrs. Jockson are walking in the park. They enjoy themselves.

They spend almost the whole day in the park.

Looking at the Great Wall, it is the brightest star in human history. In the earth, we can see the continuous Great Wall winding in the mountains; In the long history of history, we can see the time of the Great Wall. In the eyes of the Chinese, the Great Wall is a soldier who defends his country. In the eyes of foreigners, the Great Wall is a mysterious Oriental dragon.

Looking at the Great Wall, we seem to be back in the qin dynasty. Under the whip swinging of qin shi huang, the men in the harsh voice yelling, the suffering of the Chinese civil shoulder load lines feldspar, mixed with his own blood, with hard work, with a patriotic heart, with a fresh life, of the built in the history of the Great Wall, and the Great Wall of flesh and blood can stand in the east of the world.

Looking at the Great Wall, we are back in history. In those wars, for many years, entrusted with Great Wall stand tall in the above the earth, rivers, and between the throat region, time and time again to resist the enemys invasion, defender of the sacred territory of the motherland. And you see, the stone on the strong wall of the towering sky, which did not shed the blood of our soldiers? What part of the world is not weeping about the soldiers hearts? Where did not the white bones of the intruders be buried in the stony and wild patches of land outside the wall? Which one does not show the marks of the soldiers battle with the enemy? Then the Great Wall became angry, and it hurt, and leaped up, and, at the top of his head, the iron walled giant of the wall, said to the world, "whoever dares to infringe it will kill one."

Look at the Great Wall, in the wind we see the love of the blazing love - the state - heart!

Mostly, I went to school to have lessons this week. It was hard but we must experience, wasn’t it? But on Saturday I finished my first learning. And the second learning will begin on Aug 1st. I can have a break and do what I want to do. On Saturday I went shopping. Indeed I didn’t buy many things. I just wanted to relax. And then I played on the computer, sang , watched TV, etc. I just wanted to amuse myself. I went to swim on Sunday, although I didn’t swim very well. I felt cool during this hot time. I also played with my mother. She couldn’t swim so I taught her. I sometimes played a trick on her. I had a good time there.

This week I didn’t do many wonderful things. I went to learn developing film with my classmates on July 1st. It was easy and we all got good marks. On July 4th, I went to school to learn, because I will be a junior three student soon. We would have to learn some lessons in advance. The weather was very hot. But I didn’t feel that learning lessons was boring. Some teachers are new. They are good I think, although they are all looked strict. And the lessons were not too bad. This week was the beginning of this summer holiday, but it was really typical

My home is an old but comfortable house located in the suburbs of Wuhan.There are near it a few parks,a bus station and an elementary school.People in my neighborhood are friendly and cooperative.There is neither crime nor pollution there.Children are often found playing in the parks.A market,shops and a big department store are within walking distance.

There are around us some more expensive,bigger and more beautiful houses,but none is as warm as mine.

我的家是一个古老但很舒适的房子位于武汉的郊区。这几个公园,附近有一个公交车站和一个小学。我的邻居人友好合作。没有犯罪,也没有污染。孩子们经常在公园玩。一个市场,商店和一个大型百货商店在步行距离之内。

在我们周围有一些更贵,更大更漂亮的房子,但没有一个是我一样温暖。

The Spring Festival, every family, bursting with happiness decorated, our family is no exception.

On the thirty day of the year, I came to grandmas home with my mom and dad. Morning, the street is always a "crash" huge crowds of people, and the "bite" sound. I asked my sister strangely, "what are these people doing, sister?" My sister smiled, but did not speak, so I put all his strength into the crowd, there is a pair of men are dragon dance. The dragons aunt and uncle are dressed in white clothes and red pants, they catch the dragon, the Dragon stretching from Voldemort swinging, gongs and drums accompanied by the sound of the dragon. They are praying for peace for people through every street and lane. At this time, we followed the team to the river. They were around the big boat by the river, praying for prosperity. The end of the dragon, we listened to the distant sound of gongs and drums, gazed at the dim figure.

In the evening, our family sat on a stool, eating a reunion meal. After dinner, we stood on the balcony upstairs and looked at the downstairs fireworks. The first one is the flower basket. The flower basket is made up of six circular holes. The flower basket first sprayed sparks, then suddenly flew up to the sky and burst into many colorful sparks. So it sprayed six times. It seemed to be blessing for people. Sister feel good, could not wait to pick up the Butterfly King, the elder sister quickly ignited in their hands, "flutter" sound of fireworks, to a light butterfly, dancing in the sky, the last "bang", divided into many a spark in the sky slowly and gently. Float to the ground. I took a bowl, hold in the hand, "bang", "bang", ten guns, resounded through the night sky symbolizes our joy and happiness.

The sky was getting dark. Our family went to the room to watch the Spring Festival Gala, say and laugh, how happy the Spring Festival is!

When it comes to success, different people have different opinions about what makes it come true. Some people regard hard-working as an essential quality to success while others believe being clever would lead to success. From my point of view, I think perseverance and hard-working are indispensable for those who want to make an achieveme

谈到成功时，对于实现成功的原因不同的人有不同的看法。有些人认为勤奋是成功必备的素质，而另一些人则相信聪明人会实现成功。从我的角度来看，我认为毅力和勤奋对于那些想要成功的人是必不可少的。

Firstly, perseverance let people step closely towards success. Most people want to make a big difference to prove their value. People who set their goal and keep moving would make their dream come true. However, there are some people who set their goal but they stop at the difficulty would fail in the end. I think the difference between success and failure is perseverance. If we have perseverance, even if we are not clever, we will make a great difference, but if we not, we are doomed to lose. As we all know, Edison is a great inventor in the world. However, before he invented the bulb, he kept trying for tens of thousands of times to find a suitable wire. Let us imagine, if he gave up at the 999th, then how he couldn’t become so successful. So, I strongly believe that perseverance produces success.

首先，毅力让人离成功越来越近。大多数人都想用不同的方式证明自己的价值。设定自己的目标，向着目标走，就可以使梦想成真了。然而，有些人设立了目标，却在困难面前妥协了将以失败告终。我认为成功与失败之间的差别是毅力。如果我们有毅力，即使我们不聪明，我们也会有很大的不同，但是如果我们没有毅力，我们注定是要失败的。我们都知道，爱迪生是一位伟大的发明家。但是，在他发明电灯泡前，他试了为数千次去找一个合适的线。让我们想象一下，如果他在第九百九十九次放弃了，那么他就不可能变得如此成功。因此，我强烈认为，坚持就会成功。

Secondly, there is also a kind of people who are born with cleverness, I think they are lucky. Nevertheless, if they don’t make a hard work on their way to their goal, they, absolutely, will become loser. Whether we are gifted for intelligent, we must be hard-working so as to success. I regard hard-working as an efficient approach to be successful because I believe ‘pains and gains’. As for those who do not make great efforts on work, failure follows. In old times, there is a clever boy who can make excellent poem when he can talk. When his father found the little child’s cleverness, he just let the child make poems to show around while never let the boy learned anything. When the boy grew up, people forgot him because he lost the ability Secondly, there is also a kind of people who are born with cleverness, I think they are lucky.

Nevertheless, if they don’t make a hard work on their way to their goal, they, absolutely, will become loser. Whether we are gifted for intelligent, we must be hard-working so as to success. I regard hard-working as an efficient approach to be successful because I believe ‘pains and gains’. As for those who do not make great efforts on work, failure follows. In old times, there is a clever boy who can make excellent poem when he can talk. When his father found the little child’s cleverness, he just let the child make poems to show around while never let the boy learned anything. When the boy grew up, people forgot him because he lost the ability

其次，还有一种人是天生聪明的，他们是幸运的。然而，如果他们没有在实现目标之前努力工作，他们当然也会成为失败者。无论我们是否有天资，我们都应该努力工作以获得成功。我认为勤奋是成功的一个有效的方法，因为我相信的“付出和收获”。对于那些不努力工作的人最后是失败的了。在古代，有一个聪明的男孩，在他能说话的时候就可以作优秀的诗歌。当他的父亲发现他孩子的聪明时，他只是让孩子到处作诗歌来炫耀，却从不让他儿子学习别的知识。孩子长大后，人们把他遗忘了，因为他失去了创作能力，成为了普通人。从这件事中，我们可以看到，只有通过努力工作才能获得知识，拥有一个好的 Anyway, I think perseverance and hard-working are both important in our way to success for they enhance us and produce success

不管怎么样，我觉得毅力和勤奋在成功路上都是很重要的，因为他们提升我们并获得成功。

Im a tall and lively boy. I like playing basketball very much because its interesting. I like NBA, too. There are many famous stars in it. Such as Alan, Iveson, Tim, Donken, Jordan, Kobe, ONeal and so on. Yao Ming is in the NBA, too. Hes Chinese. He plays basketball well. Hes a center forward. Hes our pride. All the ball stars can jump, shoot and pour in the basket. So each game of the NBA is wonderful. Sometimes the players can perform miracles, I think.

This years champion is Spur Team. It’s one of the strongest contenders.

I like NBA. I love basketball.
