爷爷住在离市区不远的九垒山村里，高高的个子，稀少的头发，两只眼睛炯炯有神，看书是他的最爱之一，鞋子也是。与许多老人一样，爷爷也十分相信迷信，还是咱们家的风水大师呢！

一天，风和日丽。奶奶大声地喊：开饭啦，开饭啦。不一会儿，桌子旁已经坐了3个人了，我，哥哥，奶奶，还有一把椅子上空空如也。我环顾四周，空地上有一个人影，正坐在小椅子上，左手扇着扇子，戴着一副大大的眼镜，手点着字，一边看一边慢慢地念。

看了看这个背影，原来是爷爷啊！我走到他后面，使劲地拍了拍肩膀，说：吃饭啦。爷爷这才如梦初醒，整齐地叠好报纸，折好老花眼镜，慢悠悠地走了过来。但还没坐到椅子上，爷爷就滔滔不绝地讲了起来：今天报纸里讲了，在……奶奶将饭端了过来爷爷还不停口，换了一个主题,再次讲了起来：中国今天…….这个爱看书的爷爷，我真是服了他了！

在每次过年的时候，爷爷都会给我们一本日历本，说让我们每天看着。今天早上，我去游泳，正慢慢地游的时候，不料，前面的人用脚踢了我的眼镜，水涌了进来。我只好奋力往前游，可一会儿撞到了墙壁上，一会儿又碰到别人的身上，不但如此，还一连喝了6口水。爷爷知道后，看了看日历本，笑了笑，说：本来总说我迷信，现在自食其果了吧。你看，今天是诸事不宜，还是狗日，狗日和你是冲的!

哥哥的爸爸在楼下的空地下建了一个水龙头，为了方便洗手。一天，爷爷在哥哥的爸爸的楼下散步，刚看到这个水龙头，眉头就皱了起来，对哥哥的爸爸说：你这个水龙头放的位置不行，这是白虎面，怎么能放水呢？改掉。不一会儿，水龙头就换到了别的地方，这不，去那儿洗比原来还慢。

爷爷在书上看到了一则故事：每天练毛笔字能增长寿命，古代书法家许多都很长寿。于是，马上在老年大学报了名，第一次学好后，爷爷连饭也不吃了，坐了下来，拿出毛毡、毛笔、墨水、纸、砚台，写了起来。第一张写的字扭来扭去，第二张，第三张，字越来越直，一星期后，字突飞猛进，与书中的也有几分相似。与好朋友见面时，也迫不及待地说起自己的字，说着说着，眉头都舒展了，瞧爷爷乐的。

每个星期六，我都会来到爷爷家，情不自禁地来到爷爷的身边，看爷爷写字，看爷爷看报纸，看爷爷研究风水，看爷爷用日历本，这真是一种享受啊！晚风吹拂，夕阳给大地染上一片金色，绿树村边合，青山郭外斜，一幅农村山景图展现在我的眼前。

Dream is in process of growing up, we best friend. It accompanies us grow up tall. To a meaningful life, will strive for the dream to fight.

Recall that uncle lis dream: is a grateful heart to feedback the society, the movement with Oriental characteristics -- tai chi, to the world.

This is a dream blooming age, everyone is a dreamer. The Chinese dream start from my dream.

This story again let me understand what is the power of a dream:

From small Yang Mengheng lost both arms, with his strong will to participate in the paralympic games, said let his spare more rich. Although he didnt finish his wish, he made excellent achievements in study. In this case I know such a truth: the light is not enough to have a dream, also learn to brave dedication to pursue. Adhere to the dream, is a constant process of transcending oneself. Looked up at your dream, down-to-earth efforts to further every day from the dream.

"Young wisdom, wisdom, young strong a country strong!" Our knowledge of the future of our motherland, so from now on, we must have a dream, and strive to realize the dream!

The classmates, because we have a dream in everyones heart, so every little dream together, constitutes the countrys dream, this is the Chinese dream!

梦想是我们在成长过程当中，最要好的朋友。它陪伴着我们长大长高。要想人生有意义，就要为梦想去拼搏去奋斗。

回想起，李连杰叔叔的梦想：就是以一颗感恩的心来回馈这个社会，把具有东方特色的运动—太极，推向世界。

这是一个绽放梦想的时代，每个人都是梦想家。中国梦从我的梦开始。

下面这个故事又一次让我理解了什麽是梦想的力量：

从小失去双臂的杨孟衡，凭着自己坚强的意志参加了残奥会，让自己的课余说更加丰富。尽管他没有完成自己的愿望，但他在学习上作出了优异的成绩。从这个事例中我懂得了这样一个道理：光有梦想是不够的，还学要勇敢执着地去追求。坚持梦想的过程，是一个不断超越自我的过程。抬头看着你的梦想，脚踏实地努力每一天都离梦想更进一步。

“少年智则国智，少年强则国强!”我们承载者祖国的未来，所以从现在开始，我们必须有一个梦，并且为实现梦想努力奋斗!

同学们，正是因为我们每个人心中都有梦想，所以每一个小小的梦想加在一起，就构成了国家的梦想，这就是中国梦!

As the proverb goes, “no one knows the value of health until he loses it.”

From this, we know that health is very important to everybody. But how to keep

fit? Many people believe that sports can offer people health and pleasure. As

far as I concern, I think doing physical exercises have lots of advantages.

First of all, doing exercises in the morning will refresh my body as well

as give me a good appetite to eat my breakfast. What’s more, the air in the

morning is really fresh and clean, so I can keep my mind clear and sound in the

class. By doing physical every day I can keep my mind alert that I can finish my

tasks in time. If I do not do any physical exercise, I will feel tired and my

body becomes quite sluggish. During the night, I may find it becomes harder to

fall asleep. Second, doing exercises everyday will help me to mound a better

personality. It takes time and patient to do exercises. Sometimes I just want to

give up, but my friends encourage me to carry on, then I feel a lot of

satisfaction. Doing physical exercises makes me stronger and healthier. That’s

my personal experience.

As a student, sports are indispensable. You can pick up your favorite sport

and do it every day. Only in this way, you can have both pleasure and a healthy

body.

Table tennis is one of the most popular sports in China. It’s my favorite,

too. It’s a good way of exercise, and it’s easy to play. You don’t need many

skills. I often play table tennis after class. Most of my classmates like it. So

we always have partners. But if you want to play well, it’s not so easy. You

must focus on your gesture, your hands and your steps. I want to be better, so I

practice it very often. I have my own teacher to teach me. I work hard on

it.

The Spring Festival is our Chinese nation an important festival to couplets, firecrackers, etc. staying-up late on new years Eve, pay New Years call. Different nationalities have different customs.

In the year thirty, our family changed new clothes and attached new Spring Festival couplets to welcome the arrival of the new year. In the evening, our family eats dumplings. The dumplings have a moral meaning: the money is rolling. Because dumplings are like a treasure, in ancient times Yuan Bao was money. Not certain staying-up late on new years Eve "spring", not "spring", there is no meaning staying-up late on new years eve. We were sitting on the sofa, laughing and laughing, watching the Spring Festival evening, and it was happy.

On the first day of the year, my father and I were sitting in their own car, walking on the new road. Although the cold wind was sharp, it was still very happy. When I arrived at Grandmas house, I got a big red bag with my grandmother for a year and thought: "Im rich this year!" And then the neighbours of grandmas neighborhood had a year of worship. Then came to the great uncles house, came to the great uncles house, and went to the paradise of the book, with the story, the science, the art... After dinner at the great uncles house, I received a red bag and some books, and I had to digest the books a little bit. Its a pleasure to come to the great uncles house.

Im really happy this year. Its a happy Spring Festival!

When I go to high school, our school has the rule to ask students to live

in the dormitory. Most students live with their parents before, so we all feel

excited and afraid of the group life. Luckily, I have three nice roommates. Soon

we become close friends. Living with others, we learn to do the house work, such

as everyone needs take turn to clean the floor, when we have something good to

eat, we will share with each other. The group life makes us have less private

space, but we enjoy the moment when we have the little talk before sleep, the

secrets that we dont want our parents know can talk to these girls. Whats

more, I become much independent. I learn to take care of myself and have really

grown up.

A good friend of mine is Zhang Yachun. Her eyes are big and round, bright, like a black pearl, beautiful black hair, like heaven planetesimals, skin white and tender, like a small baby, likeable.

Chuns personality is optimistic, have a happy thing, can share with me, not happy mood, I will share with her. Her body is very soft, you can easily when they are cheating on low back, let everybody envy very much, on the expression of sports subject always let people sit up and take notice, not only that, even comity people daily life, everywhere for others, as a kind of angel, won everyones favorite.

Remember when we first read the kindergarten, she always took me by the hand tightly, walk around with me, at that time, I think each other like blood sisters, Im impressed. Every time I go to her home to play with barbie dolls, she is the most beautiful for me, I admire her spirit of comity, because I cant do that, I think she is a thoughtful, considerate and sensible man.

Im very glad to have such a good friend, I hope we always keep a warm friendship, becoming the best childhood memories.

我的好朋友是张雅淳。她的眼睛又大又圆、明亮有神，就像黑珍珠，头发乌黑亮丽，好似天上的星子，皮肤又白又嫩，有如小婴儿，令人喜爱。

雅淳的个性很乐观，有快乐的事时，就会和我分享，心情不愉快时，我也会和她一起分忧。她的身体很柔软，劈腿时很容易就可以下腰，让大家非常羡慕，在体育科目的表现上总是让人刮目相看，不仅如此，连日常生活都礼让别人，处处为别人着想，犹如一位和蔼可亲的小天使，赢得大家的喜爱。

记得我们第一次读幼儿园时，她总是紧紧牵着我的手，带着我到处走来走去，那时候，我觉得彼此好像亲姐妹，我留下深刻的印象。每一次我去她家玩芭比娃娃，她都把最漂亮的留给我，我好佩服她的礼让精神，因为我做不到，我觉得她是一个善解人意、体贴懂事的人。

我很高兴有这么好的朋友，我希望我们永远保持温馨的友谊，成为童年最好的回忆。

Music美国人的音乐爱好

James Fenimore Cooper, an early American writer, once said, "The Americans are almost ignorant of the art of music." If that was once true, you would never know it today. Most Americans——even those without a musical bone in their bodies——have a favorite style of music. Many people enjoy classical and folk music from around the world. But other popular music styles in America were "made in the U.S.A."

一位美国早期的作家柯柏(James Fenimore Cooper)曾说：「美国人对音乐艺术几乎可以说是相当的无知。」如果这话曾经是事实，今日你绝不会这么认为了。大部份的美国人，甚至包括那些没有音乐细胞的人，都有自己喜爱的音乐型态。许多人喜欢世界各国的古典音乐和民俗音乐，然而美国其它的流行音乐则是「在美国制造」的。

Country and western music lies close to the heart of many Americans. This style originated among country folks in the southern and western United States. Country music tells down-to-earth stories about love and lifes hardships. Guitars, banjos and violins——also known as fiddles——give country music its characteristic sound. The home of country music is Nashville, Tennessee——Music City U.S.A. Country music even has its own theme park called "Opryland" where you can enjoy music shows and fun rides. "The Grand Ole Opry," the oldest radio show in the United States, broadcasts country music live from Opryland every weekend.

乡村和西部音乐深得很多美国人的人心，这种型态的音乐起源于美国南部和西部的乡村小民们。乡村音乐传述着真实不加渲染的爱情故事和生活中的艰难。吉他、五弦琴和小提琴(violin又名fiddle)可弹奏出乡村音乐的特殊音色。乡村音乐的发源地是田纳西州的纳许维尔市——美国的音乐城市。而乡村音乐甚至还有它自己的主题乐园——Opryland呢!在那儿你可以享受音乐表演以及好玩的游乐设施。美国最老牌的广播节目「The Grand Ole Opry」每个周末都实况播放Opryland的音乐。

Jazz music, developed by African-Americans in the late 1800s, allows performers to freely express their emotions and musical skill. Instead of just playing the melody, jazz musicians improvise different tunes using the same chords. The peak of jazz music came in the 1920s, known as "The Jazz Era." This period produced musicians like Louis Armstrong, Benny Goodman and Duke Ellington. These musicians later created the "big band" sounds of the 1930s. Different styles of jazz developed in different cities, such as New Orleans, Chicago, New York and Kansas City. Composer George Gershwin brought jazz into the world of classical music with pieces like "Rhapsody in Blue."

爵士乐是十九世纪末期由非裔的美国人发展出来的。它让表演者自由地表现他们的情感和音乐技巧。不仅演奏旋律，爵士音乐大师用同样的和弦即兴演奏出不同的曲调。爵士乐的高峰期出现于二○年代，该时期被称为「爵士年代」。这个时期创造出来的乐手有阿姆斯特朗(Louise Armstrong)，古德曼(Benny goodman)和埃林顿(Duke Ellington)。这些乐手稍后都创造了三○年代的「大乐团」之音。在不同的城市也孕育出不同的爵士风格，像是纽奥尔良、芝加哥、纽约和坎萨斯市。作曲家盖希文(George Gershwin)更以像「蓝色狂想曲」这样的作品，将爵士乐带入古典音乐的世界里。

The home of country music is Nashville, Tennessee——Music City U.S.A. Country music even has its own theme park called "Opryland" where you can enjoy music shows and fun rides. "The Grand Ole Opry," the oldest radio show in the United States, broadcasts country music live from Opryland every weekend.

乡村和西部音乐深得很多美国人的人心，这种型态的音乐起源于美国南部和西部的乡村小民们。乡村音乐传述着真实不加渲染的爱情故事和生活中的艰难。吉他、五弦琴和小提琴(violin又名fiddle)可弹奏出乡村音乐的特殊音色。乡村音乐的发源地是田纳西州的纳许维尔市——美国的音乐城市。而乡村音乐甚至还有它自己的主题乐园——Opryland呢!在那儿你可以享受音乐表演以及好玩的游乐设施。美国最老牌的广播节目「The Grand Ole Opry」每个周末都实况播放Opryland的音乐。

Jazz music, developed by African-Americans in the late 1800s, allows performers to freely express their emotions and musical skill. Instead of just playing the melody, jazz musicians improvise different tunes using the same chords. The peak of jazz music came in the 1920s, known as "The Jazz Era." This period produced musicians like Louis Armstrong, Benny Goodman and Duke Ellington. These musicians later created the "big band" sounds of the 1930s. Different styles of jazz developed in different cities, such as New Orleans, Chicago, New York and Kansas City. Composer George Gershwin brought jazz into the world of classical music with pieces like "Rhapsody in Blue."

爵士乐是十九世纪末期由非裔的美国人发展出来的。它让表演者自由地表现他们的情感和音乐技巧。不仅演奏旋律，爵士音乐大师用同样的和弦即兴演奏出不同的曲调。爵士乐的高峰期出现于二○年代，该时期被称为「爵士年代」。这个时期创造出来的乐手有阿姆斯特朗(Louise Armstrong)，古德曼(Benny goodman)和埃林顿(Duke Ellington)。这些乐手稍后都创造了三○年代的「大乐团」之音。在不同的城市也孕育出不同的爵士风格，像是纽奥尔良、芝加哥、纽约和坎萨斯市。作曲家盖希文(George Gershwin)更以像「蓝色狂想曲」这样的作品，将爵士乐带入古典音乐的世界里。

Going to high school is my first time to leave home. I have to live in

school from Monday to Friday. I like to stay away from my parents for some time,

because I can make my own choice and be free to go anywhere. My friends and I

like to spend the weekend in the countryside that near the city we live. It is

the short travel that I can not only appreciate the beautiful scenery, but also

learn to be independent. The things that nature teaches me are a lot. I can see

from the color of the cloud to predict the weather and the sound of of animals

have different meanings. All of these are hard to know from the books. I have my

own thinking from these trips, and the way to take care of myself helps me to

grow up.

I like many animals, but my favorite is the giant panda. Giant pandas are rare animals in China, their hometown in sichuan province.

Giant panda looks interesting, chubby, plump and cute. Its head and body are white, only the rim of the eye, ear, and the shoulder is dark brown. Especially that a pair of black rim of the eye, long in white face, like wearing a pair of sunglasses, plus the clumsiness and go up and look in all directions, appear very lovely.

Pandas in zoos, through training the breeder uncles and aunts, also many performance! Such as drilling circle, upright, upside down, or cartwheel and pushing the car. I most like to see the giant panda says. It huddled in her chubby body, like a big ball rolling, funny, very fun. Pandas dont like the cat that greediness eat fish meat, dont eat the delicious fruit, like a monkey pandas like eating bamboo leaves and shoots.

I love pandas, it can be seen everywhere in my little world. My pencil-box. The head of a bed, desk, plastered with pictures of giant pandas. In art class, if the teacher asked the paint free proposition, I often draw a panda. These, may all is because I am too fond of pandas!

My mother has a pair of keen eyes which can speak. With her eyes,she observed my mood, gave me courage and made me strong. Therefore, I could face difficulties.

When I was a baby learning to walk, my mother always lent me a hand and encouraged me to get up while I fell down. As I finally threw myself into her arms, her eyes smiled with praise. Later as I grew up, I met with more difficulties. But whenever I was frustrated, my mothers eyes always

gave me hope and encouragement. Once I failed in exams, my mother encouraged me to find out the reasons. Instead of blaming me she pushed me to do better. At last I overcame the difficulty. Now I have grown up and become more independent, but whenever I come across setbacks, my mothers eyes are always with me encouraging me wherever I go.

我母亲有一双敏锐的、会说话的眼睛.那双眼睛能洞察我的心情,给我鼓励,促我坚强,因此我能面对一切困难.

孩提学步时,妈妈总是帮助我,鼓励我摔倒了就爬起来.最后我晃晃悠悠地扑进她怀抱时,她的双眼充满了赞扬之情.成长过程中,我遇到了很多困难,但灰心失望时,妈妈的双眼总给我以希望和鼓励.一次我考试不及格,妈妈没有责备我,而是鼓励我找出原因,提高我的成绩.最后我终于度过了难关.现在,我长大了,不用再让她操心了.但每当遇到挫折时,妈妈的眼睛总是伴随着我,给我鼓励
