The time of middle school is short and precious, but for some students,

they sit in the class and dont show any passion to learn knowledge. They like

to do something that is against what teachers tell them to do. Such as when the

teacher is presenting knowledge, they choose to read novel, or when it is the

time for them to do some exercise, they sleep. They dont care about study. It

is so negative for them to treat study. We are young and should be full of

energy. It is the best time for us to gain knowledge. What we learn today will

help us to realize our dreams, so lets fight for our goals.

The Dragon Boat Festival， also called the Duanwu Festival， is celebrated on

the fifth day of the fifth month according to the Chinese calendar. This

festival is to commemorate the death of QU Yuan， an upright and honest poet and

statesman who is said to have committed suicide by drowning himself in a

river.

The most important activity of this festival is the Dragon Boat races. It

symbolizes people‘s attempts to rescue Qu Yuan. In the current period， these

races also demonstrate the virtues of cooperation and teamwork.

Besides， the festival has also been marked by eating zong zi (glutinous

rice). Zongzi is made of glutinous rice stuffed with different fillings and

wrapped in bamboo or reed leaves. People who mourned the death of Qu threw Zong

zi into the river to feed his ghost every year.

With the changes of the times， the memorial turns to be a time for

protection from evil and disease for the rest of year. People will hang healthy

herbs on the front door to clear the bad luck of the house. Although the

significance of the festival might be different with the past， it still gives

the observer an opportunity to glimpse a part of the rich Chinese cultural

heritage.

Friendship is essential for the existence of society. People live in

communities and work in co-operation so that they could protect themselves from

nature. The successful accomplishment of any task calls for support from many

people. It’s the friends who are willing to help us. Friendship is a guarantee

of harmonious efforts.

In the widest sense, all people are friends. People live in a common

society, co-operating and helping each other directly or indirectly all the

time. From this respective, anyone could be a friend of others to a certain

degree. And it’s this kind of friendship that makes society harmonious though

competition is universal.

A friend in need is a friend indeed. Unfortunately, people are so complex

in the modern society due to various reasons. Sometimes, we don’t really know

who are our real friends. Adversity is the touchstone of friendship. That is to

say, in hard times, it is easy for us to test whether the friendship is ture or

not. No matter what happens, a true friend will never leave you alone and will

always be with you.

“追求完美的偶像万万岁，才华洋溢的偶像万万岁，十八般武艺每一样都要学，会变魔术又会耍炫。”圣诞联欢会就这样在欢声笑语中落下了帷幕。回想起冀宇童她们精心布置的场景，历历在目……那么，就让我们再在一起回味无穷吧!

这个圣诞节是珍贵的，是美丽的，更是我们在小学阶段度过的最后一个圣诞节，意义非凡!

下午，当我们每个人都走进这间别具一格的教室时，当每个人都激动万分时，当教室里变得热火朝天时，这个“圣诞联欢会”就正式拉开了帷幕。

大家摩拳擦掌，跃跃欲试。一个个搞笑、动听、令我们心情愉悦的节目都令我记忆犹新。我们共同演唱了《逆战》、《爸爸去哪儿》、《我相信》等歌曲;分别表演了形态各异的节目，而最令我喜爱的一个节目，便是吴安迪与乔欣然表演的搞笑小品——《问题不少》。这个小品令我们哄堂大笑，一句句经典台词令我们回味无穷，津津乐道!

如：徐钊一露头，观众朋友准发愁;徐钊二露头，相声从此没看头;徐钊三露头，吓死田间一头牛;徐钊四露头，全国人民齐跳楼。还有学习不突出，文艺不突出，腰肩盘突出，上课不发言，开会不发言，扁导体发严。更有网游如学习，千万不能偏科。高考中考六七门，缺一难进高校门……听着这些幽默的语言，怎能不欢乐?!

而我这位“观众”也变成了“表演者”。与吴安迪、乔欣然和冀宇童共同演唱了TimeZ的《偶像万万岁》。也成为了最后一个压轴表演!

There are many animals in nature, swimming in water, running on land, flying in the air, and I like the most animal on land, the elephant.

I know the information of the elephant very well. It has a huge body, and even the lions and tigers are so frightened that they are afraid of it. Its stout, very heavy, and its not very fast. Its nose is very long, the heavy object will be lifted easily by it, and it can suck a lot of water. It sprays up as if a fountain is spraying. It is generous of ears, like two huge fan, it can use the ears fan when hot, very cool. The tail is very thick, like a thick and long whip.

Eleven, I have a chance to visit the world park in Beijing. I finally saw the elephant, although it is the same as I think, but they are flexible to my surprise, they can walk about sixty cm wide bridge. They are so smart that they can understand the words of the professional and do what they do. Its really interesting.

Through my trip to Beijing, I know more about elephants and more like elephants.

When autumn comes, I will be very excited, because it is my favorite

season. In autumn, the weather is neither too hot nor too cold, and I could
