My View on Hobby

Everybody has his own hobby. Hobbies not only make our life colorful, but also bring us lots of benefits. Hobbies help us to relax after a long period of hard work, and offer various activities for the people who are retiring. As to my mother, her hobby is to go square dancing after supper. She said, square dancing can make her forget her own problems and stay in good health. As to my father, his hobby is watching football games on TV. Among all my hobbies, the favorite one is reading. When I was a little girl, I love reading comic books. When I m getting old, I love fiction very much. I have so much fun from reading them. My favorite fiction is Pride and Prejudice. It not only provides knowledge, but also teaches us the right attitude toward life. I think reading makes my life complete. I will keep on reading. That s my favorite hobby.

“一个小孩脾气爆，嘭的一声炸上天，就能把你吓一跳”，打一物体，你猜对了吗?让我来告诉你谜底吧，这个东西相信大家都见过，那就是人尽皆知的烟花。

去年元宵节，街上特别红火，而一场盛大的烟火晚会正在筹备中……

夜，悄悄降临了，放烟火活动在体育馆对面的空地上开始了。烟花形状各异，接二连三飞上天空，像要去遥远的外太空探索奥妙的世界;烟花五彩缤纷，像争相开放的“绿茶花”，像几朵银白色的小花;接二连三的开放，像争奇斗艳的红玫瑰;像翩翩飞舞的红丝带;像美丽迷人的蔷薇花;像五彩六色的大花;全都伴着噼里啪啦的爆竹声和人们人潮般壮观欢呼声之中，向墨蓝的天空飞去，人群已经惊呆了，不时发出“哇，真好看!”“哇，真美啊!”的惊叹声。不知不觉之中，烟火晚会已经接近尾声了。

回到家中，爸爸说：“烟花晚会这么美，我们也去放一些烟花吧!”我兴冲冲的答应了，来到室外，空地前爸爸摆放了一个烟花，说：“你看我怎么点，一会轮你来点。”“好”，我仔细观察着爸爸的每一个细节，被烟花的美丽给吸引住了，这个烟花似一个五彩缤纷的花朵，又似一条条卷起的丝带，爸爸问我“你学会放烟花了吗?”我又连忙回忆了一下，一些放炮的细节确认无误之后，就说：“会了。”“好!那这个炮你来放吧!爸爸高兴的说，这是我第一次放炮，我用一根香把引线点燃，然后赶忙跳到一边，烟花开始喷出了，像一座喷发的小火山，又像是一棵茂盛的柳树。

元宵节的烟火真美呀!让我永生难忘。

一位富翁和他儿子爱好收藏画，他们收藏了从毕加索到拉费奥等很多艺术品。常常他俩坐在一起欣赏着大师的作品。

when the vietnam conflict broke out, the son went to war. he was very courageous and died in battle while rescuing another soldier. the father was notified and grieved deeply for his only son.

当越战爆发的时候，儿子投入了战争。他非常勇敢，在一次作战中因为抢救战友而牺牲了。父亲接到了通知，深深地哀恸他唯一的儿子。

about a month later, just before christmas, there was a knock at the door. a young man stood there with a large package in his hands. he said "sir, you dont

know me, but i am the soldier for whom your son gave his life. he saved many lives that day, and he was carrying me to safety when a bullet struck him in the

heart and he died instantly. he often talked about you and your love for art.’’ the young man held out his package. "i know this isnt much. im really not a great artist, but i think your son would have wanted you to have this." the father opened the package. it was a portrait of his son, painted by the young man.

he stared in awe at the way the soldier had captured the personality of his son in the painting. the father was so drawn to the eyes that his own eyes swelled up

with tears. he thanks the young man and offered to pay him for the picture. "oh no, sir, i could never repay what you son did for me. its a gift.

约一个月之后，正好是圣诞节前，门上传来敲门声。一位年轻人站在那里，手里拿着一个很大的包裹。他说道：“先生，你不认识我，我就是你儿子为了救我而牺牲的那个战士。那天他救了很多人，当他背着我走向安全地带的时候，一颗子弹击中了他的心脏，他顿时就牺牲了。他常常说起你和你对艺术的爱好，”年轻人举起他的包裹，“我知道这不算什么，我是真的不怎样的艺术家，但我想你儿子会要你保留这幅画的。”父亲打开了包裹，是他儿子的一幅肖像画，是这年轻人画的。他惊奇地注视着画中那士兵是如何捕捉到他儿子的个性的。父亲如此地被画里的眼睛吸引，他自己的眼睛也充满了泪水。他谢了那年轻人并提议买下这幅画。“噢，不要钱，先生，我永远不能偿还你儿子给我做的一切。这是礼物。”

the father hung the portrait over his mantle. every time visitors came to his home he took them to see the portrait of his son before he showed them any of the other great works he had collected.

父亲把这肖像画挂在壁炉架上，每次有客人来他家拜访，他总是在给他们看他收藏的许多名作之前，先带他们看儿子的肖像。

the man died a few months later. there was to be a great auction of his great works of art. many people gathered, excited over seeing the great paintings and

having an opportunity to purchase one for their collection. on the platform sat the portrait of his son. the auctioneer pounded his gavel, "we will start with this portrait of the son. who will bid for this picture?

富翁在几个月之后死了。他的伟大收藏也将要被拍卖掉。许多人聚集着，为能一睹这些伟大的收藏以及能从他的收藏里买一个加入自己的收藏品这一机会而激动不已。在讲台上安置着那儿子的肖像画

there was silence. then a ! voice in the back of the room shouted "we want to see the famous paintings. skip this one."

场面非常安静。这时有一个声音在厅堂的后面叫道：“我们要看名画，跳过这一幅。”

but the auctioneer persisted, "will someone bid for this painting? who will start the bidding? $100, $200?"

但拍卖经纪人坚持着：“有没有人投这幅画的标?谁先开始?一百，两百?

another voice shouted angrily, "we didnt come here to see this painting. we came to see the van gohs, the rembrandts. get on with the real bids".

另外一个声音高喊着，非常愤怒：“我们不是来这里看这幅画的，我们是来看梵高的画，看伦伯朗的画的。快进入真正的竞标吧。”

but still the auctioneer continued, "the son! the son! who will take the son?" finally, a voice came from the very back of the room. it was the longtime

gardener of the man and his son. "ill give you $10 for the painting." being a poor man, it was all he could afford.

但拍卖经纪人依旧继续着：“儿子，儿子，谁要这儿子?”终于，一个声音从厅堂的深处传来：“我出十块钱要这画。”因为穷，这是他力所能及的价钱。

"we have $10, who will bid $20??"

"give it to him for $10. lets see the masters".

”

"$10 is the bid, wont someone bid $20?"

“有人标了十块，有谁肯标二十的吗?”

“十块给他吧，让我们看名作。

“标价十块，没有人标二十的吗?”

the crowd was becoming angry. they didnt want the picture of the son. they wanted the more worthy investments for their collections.

the auctioneer pounded his gavel. "going once, twice, sold for $10!"

a man sitting in the second row shouted, "now lets get on with the collection!

the auctioneer laid down his gavel "im sorry, the auction is over".

”

"what about the paintings?"

人群开始愤怒起来。他们不想要这儿子的画。他们要收藏的是更值得投资的东西。

拍卖经纪人敲打着槌子：“一次竞标，两次竞标，十块得标!”

一位坐在第二排的人喊道：“现在让我们开始进入收藏品的竞标。”

那拍卖经纪人放下他的槌子说：“很抱歉，竞标已经结束了。”

“那些收藏品怎么办?”

"im sorry, when i was called to conduct this auction, i was told of a secret stipulation in the will. i was not allowed to reveal that stipulation until this

time. only the painting of the son would be auctioned. whoever bought that painting would inherit the entire estate, including the paintings. the man who took the son, gets everything!"

“对不起，当我被叫来负责这场拍卖的时候，我被告知那人的遗嘱中有秘密的约定，一直到现在我是不允许暴露这个秘密的。只有儿子这幅画是要拍卖的。谁买了这幅画谁就继承整个遗产，包括这幅画。那个男人拿了儿子肖像，得到了一切。”

god gave his son 2000 years ago to die on the cruel cross. much like the auctioneer, his message today is "the son, the son, wholl take the son?" because, you see, whoever takes the son gets everything.

上帝在2000年以前给他的儿子在残酷的十字架上受死。和这经纪人非常相似，他今天的福音是：“儿子，儿子，谁承受这个儿子?”因为，你看，谁接纳儿子谁就获得一切。

在我的记忆里，元宵节是明亮的、鲜艳的，也是能让人感到快乐温馨的一个节日。

我的家乡，元宵节又被称作灯节，这一天家家户户的大灯小灯彩灯白炽灯都会亮起来，美丽的烟花在天空中炸开，整个小镇五彩斑斓亮如白昼，整条街上灯火通明美不胜收。有的老爷爷还会在路口贩卖提前制作好了的孔明灯，通常这个时候，我们几个小伙伴就会把过年攒的压岁钱凑在一起买一只，然后傻兮兮的拽着孔明灯的底部，仰着脑袋数着一二三，可数完后却没人舍得先松手，直到头仰累了，眼睛都看酸了才恋恋不舍的放手，盯着摇摇晃晃的灯慢慢升空，变成天幕中的一个小小的光点，就像我们自己亲手放飞了一颗承载了溢满希望的小星星。

听说孔明灯飘的越远越高，许下的心愿就越容易实现，于是我们一帮小屁孩就跟在放飞了的孔明灯后面追，还要俗气的双手合十，嘴里念念有词，一面希望它能飞的越远越高，好实现自己的愿望，另一面又希望它慢点飞，让我们能再多看看……

除了看灯看烟花，元宵节更让人期待的莫过于吃元宵了。小小的元宵里面包着豆沙、黑白芝麻、白砂糖之类的，这几年随着食物品种的增加，元宵里的馅种类也丰富了起来，有香芋味的、水果味的、鲜花味的，馋的人直流口水。每次元宵节的时候，我总要缠着奶奶称上两斤元宵，一斤煮着吃，一斤炸着吃，乐呵呵的吃的满嘴都是，奶奶总笑我这副模样像只馋鱼干的小猫咪，享受又贪心。

但其实，元宵节之所以让人感觉快乐，是因为它本身就是一个快乐的节日，它预示着新一年份工作和学习生活即将开始了。元宵节后的大人们纷纷回到了自己的工作岗位上，小孩子们也开始疯狂加班加点的补年前遗留下来的寒假作业，一边迫不及待的期待着快点开学去见班上可爱的同学们，想跟他们炫耀新年的新衣服和兜里的红包，一边又祈祷着时间过的慢一点，至少等把作业做完了再开学……

元宵节是快乐的、浪漫的，也是美好的、充满了新希望的。我喜欢元宵节，喜欢它的灯火阑珊，喜欢它的甜蜜温馨，更喜欢它承载着的期待憧憬！

Chinese there are a lot of traditional culture, such as the Lantern

Festival, the Dragon Boat Festival Dragon Boat Glutinous Rice Balls to eat, to

celebrate the Mid Autumn Festival, summer egg fight...... I love most is the

beginning of the egg fight.

The day of the beginning, I invited my buddy to fight my eggs. At the

beginning of the egg, mother prepared an egg for each of us and said, "who is

the last of the eggs, who is the king of the egg!" First of all, I and Yao

Peiyu, both of us egg head to the egg, who will not let anyone, to fight each

other up. We just fight soon, they heard the click sound, there is a broken egg!

I was so surprised that I looked at my eggs, and thank God, my eggs were not

broken. It was Yao Peiyu who accidentally hit the empty head with my tip! We saw

it and laughed all the time. He bites and says, "come again!" This time, we all

put out the strength of the milk, but his strength was not big, so he was

defeated by me! Left --iao Yu--uan, although she is a girl, but not a good

deal.

All of a sudden, I came up with a good plan and a seamless plan. I used to

fight with her on the empty end and broke up in a moment. I thought to myself,

"this is the end of you. Your sharp head has been damaged. I will fight with you

with a good and sharp tip." So, I tried to wipe the egg head, and suddenly

blows, give strength to my eggs. At first, her eggs were damaged, and she was

not so big as I was, so I was easily defeated. I jumped up with joy. Mother

loudly announced, "the end of the game, Sun Yize is the king of eggs!" Now

everyone begins to eat eggs. " We eat eggs, and all the people are in the

atmosphere of joy.

The egg not only brought us happiness, but also let me understand a truth:

everything should be brain, with wisdom to win!

The Lantern Festival is one of Chinas four major holiday, after the Lantern Festival, the Spring Festival is finished, so this day is very grand. Previously, people mainly is given priority to with watching lanterns, dragon dance, now mainly watching lanterns.

At seven this evening, I will pull a father to the palace of the aunts yuanxiao. When outside the palace of a sea of people, most people come to eat yuanxiao. Yuanxiao cooked, lots of people are waiting in line, there are some people, is lucky, because they are in with relish eating hot yuanxiao.

In 8, outside the palace is not busy, you must feel very strange, why is this? Because everyone go to the sports court ready to watch the fireworks. Start to put, fireworks like a naughty child, one by one, drill out from the inside of the carton, flew to a tall, beautiful night sky. As yet a deafening noise, blossom the sky colorful flowers, the shape of their color is different, have colorful all over the sky star, golden dandelion...

With the frequent explosion, people exclaimed, praise, a happy smile on his face. Fireworks in cheers quietly over, but just the site of some of the wonderful fireworks, and will always remain in my mind.

元宵节是我国四大节日之一，元宵节一过，春节也算过完了，所以这一天是非常隆重。以前，人们主要以看花灯、舞龙为主，现在主要以看花灯为主。

今天晚上七点，我就拉着爸爸到文化宫等着阿姨们做元宵。到了七点半，文化宫外人山人海，大多数人都是来吃元宵的。元宵煮熟了，好多人都在排队，有一些人，比较幸运，因为他们都在津津有味的吃着热乎乎的元宵。

到了八点整，文化宫外不在热闹，你一定觉得很奇怪，这是为什么呢?因为大家都去运动场外准备看烟花。开始放了，烟花像一个淘气的小孩子，一个个的，从纸箱里钻出来，飞向高高的、美丽的夜空。随着一声声震耳欲聋的响声，夜空绽放出一朵朵绚丽多彩的花朵，它们的形状颜色各不相同，有五颜六色的满天星，金黄色的蒲公英……

随着一声声炮响，人们在惊呼，赞叹，脸上露出了幸福的笑容。烟花表演在欢呼声中悄悄结束，但刚刚那一幕幕精彩的烟花表演，将永远留在我的脑海里。

那是1961年的圣诞节。我在俄亥俄州的一个小镇上教小学三年级。班上27个孩子都在积极参加"礼物赠送日"的活动。

a tree covered with tinsel and gaudy paper chains graced one corner. in another rested a manger scene produced from cardboard and poster paints by chubby, and sometimes grubby, hands. someone had brought a doll and placed it on the straw in the cardboard box that served as the manger. it didnt matter that you could pull a string and hear the blue-eyed, golden-haired dolly say, "my name is susie." "but jesus was a boy baby!" one of the boys proclaimed. nonetheless, susie stayed.

教室的一角被一棵树装点得熠熠生辉，树上缀满了金银丝帛和华丽的彩纸。教室的另一角是一个涂着海报油彩由纸板制成的马槽，这出自孩子们那胖乎乎、脏兮兮的小手。有人带来了一个娃娃，把它放在纸板槽里的稻草上(假装小耶稣)。只要拉拉它身上的一条细绳，这个蓝眼睛、金发的娃娃就会说道，"我叫苏西"，不过这都没有关系。一个男孩提出："耶稣可是个小男孩呀!"不过苏西还是留了下来。

each day the children produced some new wonder -- strings of popcorn, hand-made trinkets, and german bells made from wallpaper samples, which we hung from the ceiling. through it all she remained aloof, watching from afar, seemingly miles away. i wondered what would happen to this quiet child, once so happy, now so suddenly withdrawn. i hoped the festivities would appeal to her. but nothing did. we made cards and gifts for mothers and dads, for sisters and brothers, for grandparents, and for each other. at home the students made the popular fried marbles and vied with one another to bring in the prettiest ones. " you put them in a hot frying pan, teacher. and you let them get real hot, and then you watch what happens inside. but you dont fry them too long or they break."so, as my gift to them, i made each of my students a little pouch for carrying their fried marbles. and i knew they had each made something for me: bookmarks carefully cut, colored, and sometimes pasted together; cards and special drawings; liquid embroidery doilies, hand-fringed, of course.

每天孩子们都会做点儿新玩意--爆米花串成的细链子、手工做的小装饰品和墙纸样做的德国式风铃，我们把这些风铃挂在了天花板上。但自始至终，她都是孤零零地远远观望，仿佛是隔了一道几里长的障碍。我猜想着这个沉默的孩子发生了什么事，原来那个快乐的孩子怎么突然变得沉默寡言起来。我希望节日的活动能吸引她，可还是无济于事。我们制作了许多卡片和礼物，准备把它们送给爸爸妈妈、兄弟姐妹、祖父母和身边的同学。学生们在家里做了当时很流行“油炸"玻璃弹子，并且相互比着，要把最好看的拿来。"老师，把玻璃弹子放在热油锅里，让它们烧热，然后看看里面的变化。但不要炸得时间过长否则会破裂。"所以，我给每个学生做了一个装"油炸弹子"的小袋作为礼物送给他们。我知道他们每个人也都为我做了礼物：仔细剪裁、着色，或已粘集成串的书签;贺卡和特别绘制的图片;透明的镶边碗碟垫布，当然是手工编制的流苏。

the day of gift-giving finally came. we oohed and aahed over our handiwork as the presents were exchanged. through it all, she sat quietly watching. i had made a special pouch for her, red and green with white lace. i wanted very much to see her smile. she opened the package so slowly and carefully. i waited but she turned away. i had not penetrated the wall of isolation she had built around herself.

赠送礼物的那天终于到了。在交换礼物时我们为对方亲手做的小礼品不停地欢呼叫好。而整个过程，她只是安静地坐在那儿看着。我为她做的小袋很特别，红绿相间还镶着白边。我非常想看到她笑一笑。她打开包装，动作又慢又小心。我等待着，但是她却转过了身。我还是没能穿过她在自己周围树起的高墙，这堵墙将她与大家隔离了开来。

after school the children left in little groups, chattering about the great day yet to come when long-hoped-for two-wheelers and bright sleds would appear beside their trees at home. she lingered, watching them bundle up and go out the door. i sat down in a child-sized chair to catch my breath, hardly aware of what was happening, when she came to me with outstretched hands, bearing a small white box, unwrapped and slightly soiled, as though it had been held many times by unwashed, childish hands. she said nothing. "for me?" i asked with a weak smile. she said not a word, but nodded her head. i took the box and gingerly opened it. there inside, glistening green, a fried marble hung from a golden chain. then i looked into that elderly eight-year-old face and saw the question in her dark brown eyes. in a flash i knew -- she had made it for her mother, a mother she would never see again, a mother who would never hold her or brush her hair or share a funny story, a mother who would never again hear her childish joys or sorrows. a mother who had taken her own life just three weeks before.

放学后，学生们三三俩俩地离开了，边走边说着即将到来的圣诞节：家中的圣诞树旁将发现自己心系已久的自行车和崭新发亮的雪橇。她慢慢地走在后面，看着大家拥挤着走出门外。我坐在孩子们的小椅子上稍稍松了口气，对要发生的事没有一点准备。这时她向我走来，双手拿着一个白色的盒子向我伸过来。盒子没有打包装，稍有些脏。好像是被孩子未洗过的小手摸过了好多遍。她没有说话。"给我的吗?"我微微一笑。她没出声，只是点点头。我接过盒子，非常小心地打开它。盒子里面有一条金色的链子，上面坠着一块闪闪发光的“油炸"玻璃弹子。然后我看着她的脸，虽只有8岁，可却是成人的表情。在她深棕色的眼睛里我找到了问题的答案。我在一瞬间明白过来--这是她为妈妈做的项链。

i held out the chain. she took it in both her hands, reached forward, and secured the simple clasp at the back of my neck. she stepped back then as if to see that all was well. i looked down at the shiny piece of glass and the tarnished golden chain, then back at the giver. i meant it when i whispered," oh, maria, it is so beautiful. she would have loved it."neither of us could stop the tears. she stumbled into my arms and we wept together. and for that brief moment i became her mother, for she had given me the greatest gift of all: herself.

我拿起那条链子。她用双手接过它，向前探了探身，在我的脖子后把简易的项链钩系好。然后她向后退了几步，好像在看看是否合适。我低下头看着闪闪发亮的玻璃珠和已失去光泽的金色链子，然后抬起头望着她。我很认真地轻声说道：“哦，玛丽亚，这链子真漂亮。你妈妈一定会喜欢的。"我们已无法抑制住泪水。她踉踉跄跄地扑进我的怀里，我们都哭了。在那短暂的一刻我成了她的妈妈，而她送给了我一份最珍贵的礼物：她的信任和爱。

The first day of the Lunar New Year is "the welcoming of the gods of the heavens and earth."Many people abstain from meat on the first day of the new year because it is believed that this will ensure long and happy lives for them.

On the second day, the Chinese pray to their ancestors as well as to all the gods. They are extra kind to dogs and feed them well as it is believed that the second day is the birthday of all dogs.

The third and fourth days are for the sons-in-laws to pay respect to their parents-in-law.

The fifth day is called Po Woo. On that day people stay home to welcome the God of Wealth. No one visits families and friends on the fifth day because it will bring both parties bad luck.

On the sixth to the 10th day, the Chinese visit their relatives and friends freely. They also visit the temples to pray for good fortune and health.

The seventh day of the New Year is the day for farmers to display their produce. These farmers make a drink from seven types of vegetables to celebrate the occasion. The seventh day is also considered the birthday of human beings. Noodles are eaten to promote longevity and raw fish for success.

On the eighth day the Fujian people have another family reunion dinner, and at midnight they pray to Tian Gong, the God of Heaven.

The ninth day is to make offerings to the Jade Emperor.

The 10th through the 12th are days that friends and relatives should be invited for dinner. After so much rich food, on the 13th day you should have simple rice congee and mustard greens (choi sum) to cleanse the system.

The 14th day should be for preparations to celebrate the Lantern Festival which is to be held on the 15th night.

A hobby can be almost anything a person likes to do in his spare time. Hobbyists raise pets, build model ships, weave bas-kets, or carve soap figures and so on. In a word, hobbies offer en-joyment, friendship, knowledge and relaxation.

Then, what is my hobby? Well, what I like most is singing. I began to sing songs when I was very young. My uncle was studying in a college then, so he could sing lots of songs, and he taught me several songs. I showed great interests in the music then, for they were pleasing to ears and easy to sing. My uncle told me they were called pop songs.

When I grew up, my music teacher found that I had a good voice, so she sent me to the Childrens Palace to study vocal mu-sic. From then on, I began my vocal music training. And then I knew there were several kinds of songs, like folk songs, pop songs and so on. What I had learned most was the songs for children. They were all simple ones but our teacher trained us very strictly. We practiced how to produce sound and how to make our expres-sion more natural and more pleasing. Those simple training didnt reduce my interest in singing at all and I won awards one after another in several kinds of competition. Actually I began to make up a dream of becoming a famous singer in the future.

As time went by, I came to realize that my dream wouldnt come true for there were strict conditions of being a singer. But I still took singing as my hobby since I found in music the interests which were lost in the exams. When I put all my emotion into singing a song, it gave me very good and very pleasant feelings, and a good chance to relax. Besides, it was a good way to learn things that couldnt be easily found in life.

Now as Im saying goodbye to my childhood my voice has changed into a deep male voice, and therefore I can sing a lot of songs written for adults. I am often deeply moved, by the melody or by what the song.

When I turn on the TV, I have heard the kitchen came the voice of nagging presence: "alas, the child is watching TV, you know every day watching TV, how big is not sensible, graduation will be over in a month..." Whenever at this time. My heart is pulled tightly, sick of it.

After school, I have no empty to play outside, like a happy bird was put into the cage. What I yearn for the nature, longing for a breath of fresh air outside! But mom is like a ruthless big lock tightly locked me, let me to breathe. I cant sing aloud, cant fly in the sky.

During the holiday, the students can be happy, free. They can go to the movies with my parents, to go to travel, also can go to an amusement park with elder brother elder sister... But I was learning to breath.

Trouble has been bothering me, I really want to tell all parents: our wings is still very young, dont be too much. Put pressure on us, the pressure become our growing annoyance is bad for our health, is disappointment may harvest more in the future......

每当我打开电视，就听见厨房里传来唠叨不休的声音：“唉，这孩子又看电视，每天就知道看电视，都怎么大了还不懂事，再过一个月就毕业了……”每当这时。我的心就揪得紧紧的，烦透了。

上学以后，我没有空到外边去玩，就像一只快乐的小鸟被关进鸟笼里。我多么渴望大自然，渴望呼吸一下外面的新鲜空气啊!可妈妈就像一把无情的大锁紧紧地把我锁住了，让我透不过气来。我不敢高声唱歌，不能在天空中自由飞翔。

每逢放假，同学们可开心，可自由啦。他们可以跟父母去看电影，去游山玩水，也可以跟哥哥姐姐去逛游乐园……可我却被学习压得喘不过气来。

烦恼一直困扰着我，我真想告诉所有父母：我们的翅膀还很稚嫩，不要过多地。给我们施加压力，这样的压力成为我们成长中的烦恼对我们的身体是不利的，也许将来收获的更多是是失望啊……

Currently, many problems concerning the safety of food have popped up. As for me, I believe at least three factors account for this issue.

目前，有关食品安全的许多问题都出现了。至于我，在这个问题上至少有三个因素的相信我。

First, I observe that profits drive many food producers to commit illegal things. They aim to gain more money at the expense of consumers’ health. Second, the overuse of agricultural pesticide has resulted in the degradation of food quality. The excessive pesticide bears enormous health hazard for people. Furthermore, some food producers inject hormones into domestic animals so as to make them grow more quickly and thus they can turn in more profit. As a result, people’s health has been seriously disturbed.

首先，我观察到许多食品生产商的利润驱动做非法的事情。他们的目标是赢得更多的钱在消费者的健康为代价。第二，农药的过度使用，导致食品质量下降。过量农药熊健康危害巨大。此外，一些食品生产商注入国内动物激素，使他们成长得更快，因此他们可以将更多的利润。因此，人们的健康受到了严重干扰。

All in all, food safety is such a great concern, and we all should do establish laws and implement them effectively to avoid producing toxic foods.

总之，食品安全是这样一个伟大的关注，我们都应该建立法律和执行有效的避免产生有毒的食物。

Father often say much read, there will be a lot of benefits, even the teacher said that reading a lot of good, also is the so-called reading enriches the mind. Read but I dont know what is good, whats the role in life.

But soon changed my opinion.

Have a school extra-curricular knowledge competition. There is a problem is this: why koalas were full of incense? Born with three options: A, B live in fragrance, C it ate A kind of fragrant leaves, fragrant after A long time. The problem is where I met, oh, remember, is a scientific paper read the day before yesterday. Inside, say their love to eat eucalyptus leaves, the leaves has a composition, eat many sweet after a long time. I chose C. A few days later, the examination paper handed out a look, indeed as expected is C. There are a lot of questions, I have seen, its to do for them.

Another time, on the composition. The teacher asked us to write about gakumon. I will reference some quotes, classical poetry. Many people didnt think of, but I thought of. Composition comment on when the teacher read the article to you, let everybody to learn, also praise I love reading. These are all I read more at ordinary times more accumulation effect.

I finally understand, reading can make us more extracurricular knowledge, write good articles. Of course the most important thing is reading make life more wonderful. So a lot of good reading.

爸爸常说多阅读，会有好多好处的，就连老师也说阅读好处多多，也就是所谓的开卷有益吧。可是我却不知道阅读究竟有什么好的，在生活中到底有什么作用。

可是不久就改变了我的看法。

有一次学校组织课外知识竞赛。有一道题是这样的：树袋熊为什么浑身是香的?三个选择：A与生俱来的，B生活在清香中，C它吃了一种香的树叶，时间长了就香了。这道题我在哪见过，哦，想起来了，就是前天阅读的一篇科学论文。里面提到的，说是树袋熊爱吃桉树叶，这种树叶里有一种成分，吃多了时间长了就香了。我选了C。过了几天，试卷发下了一看，果然是C。还有好多题，我都见过，才把它们做对的。

还有一次，上作文课。老师要我们写关于劝学的文章。我就引用了一些名言、古诗。好多人都没有想到，可是我想到了。作文点评时，老师把这篇文章读给大家听，让大家学习，还表扬我爱读书呢。这些都是我平时多阅读多积累的效果。

我终于明白了，阅读能让我们多补充课外知识，写出好的文章。当然最重要的是阅读让生活变得更精彩。所以说阅读好处多多。

Ive been to the Great Wall, I have seen the Great Wall long, because it took me more than two hours to go right to the end of it a little bit.

Standing on a distant hillside, it like a long dragon, the Great Wall winding between mountains. Listen to mom and dad said that the Great Wall from shanhaiguan east to west of jiayuguan, has more than thirteen thousand long. Is the worlds only can see the spectacular scenery in the space.

Starting from Beijing, but in the more than one hundred came to the foot of the Great Wall. This section of the Great Wall built in badaling, tall and strong. The Great Wall is like a giant, stretched his arms, people like to walk in the giants arm.

I stood on the giants arm, the distant scene at a glance. On the distant mountains, trees grow luxuriantly green cage cage. This wall is a magnifying glass!

Look at the countless stone, there have a two or three one thousand catties. That is no trains, cars, no crane, rely on countless countless hands, shoulders step by step, carry on the steep mountains.

Here, I want to say that our ancestors under the extremely poor material conditions, with the most primitive, the simplest tools to finish this before does not see the head, after the Great Wall of no tail!

Verve as grand project, is a great miracle in the history of the world!

我去过长城，我见识过了长城的长，因为我用了两个多小时才走完它的一小段。

站在远处的山坡上看，长城它像一条长龙，在崇山峻岭之间蜿蜒盘旋。听爸爸妈妈说，长城从东头的山海关到西头的嘉峪关，有一万三千多里长。是世界上唯一能在太空上看到的壮观景物。

从北京出发，不过一百多里就来到了长城脚下。这一段长城修筑在八达岭上，高大坚固。长城就像一位巨人，伸展开双臂，人们好像在这位巨人的手臂上行走一样。

我站在这位巨人的手臂上看，远处的景物一目了然。在远处的群山上，树木长得葱葱笼笼。原来这长城还是个放大镜哩!

单看这数不清的条石，一块有两三千斤重。那是没有火车、汽车，也没有起重机，就靠着无数的肩膀无数的手，一步一步抬上这陡峭的山岭。

在此，我想说，我们的先民在极其贫乏的物质条件下，以最原始、最简单的工具才完成了这前不见头，后不见尾的万里长城!

这样气魄雄伟的工程，在世界历史上是一个伟大的奇迹!

元宵节是中国的传统节日，每年的正月十五就是元宵节。“正月十五闹元宵，红红火火过大年。”一年一度的元宵节来临了，家家户户都在用笑脸迎接元宵节的到来。

晚上，我在楼上，听到楼下有一阵阵锣鼓声，我赶紧冲下楼一看，一大群人围在一起，我挤进人群，看见几只“狮子”正精彩地表演着。突然，一直“狮子”朝我扑过来，好想要把我吃了，我很害怕，连忙向后退了几步。这时，它向我摇头摆尾，一副得意洋洋的样子，仿佛在说：“你这个胆小鬼!怕了我吧，哈哈哈……”我看了很不服气，就壮着胆子向前走了几步，趁它不注意，偷偷揪了一下它的毛，心里想：哼，叫你得意，现在知道我的厉害了吧!我终于报了这“一吓”之仇。这时，有人放了鞭炮，送他们到下一个地方表演。我一直站在那，看他们慢慢离去，直到看不见他们的身影，我才恋恋不舍地离开。

今年的元宵节，我不仅看了舞狮，还猜了灯谜、放了烟花，真是个令人难忘的元宵。

The Cause of fire

As we all know, fire is one of the most terrible killers in our modern society.We know that fire is mainly caused by smokers, followed by defective insulations and children playing with matches.In 2002 ,thousands of fire happened all over the country, of which 50 percent was caused by smokers who left cigarette-ends everywhere.Those who smoke should make sure that the cigarettes are stubbed out before being thrown away.Also, smoking should not be allowed in public places.30 percent of fire was caused by defective insulation. Workers should know the importance of good insulation for people’s lives.At homes we must pay special attention to electric wires and make sure that they are safe.20 percent of fire are caused by children playing with matches. We should warn children of the danger of playing with matches.

No matter what type of the reason it was, there was one thing in common:carelessness.So if everyone in the country is careful enough, more fire could be avoided.

我们都知道火灾是现代社会最可怕的杀手之一。火灾主要是由吸烟者、绝缘不良和孩子玩火柴引起的。在2002年，全国发生了成千上万起火灾，其中50%是由于吸烟者随便扔烟头引起的。那些吸烟者应该在扔烟头前确保烟头已经被掐灭。而且，公共场所应该禁止吸烟。30%的火灾是由于绝缘不良引起的，工作人员应该懂得绝缘对人们的重要性。在家里时我们应该尤其注意电线，要确保它们的安全性。20%的火灾是由于孩子玩火柴引起的，我们应该警告孩子玩火柴的危险性。

不管是哪种类型的原因，它们都有一个共同点：粗心。因此如果国家中每个人都足够细心，那么更多的火灾是可以避免的。

Success, as is known, is the pursuit of many ambitious people. It requires much of a person.

In my view, above all, one should be a person of strong perseverance. Rome was not built in a day. On our long way to success, there are undoubtedly many difficulties standing in the way. If we lose heart and give up halfway, nothing can be achieved. Throughout history, we have had many famous successful people in the world, of whom no one is weak-minded. Take the great American scientist Edison as an example, he tried experiment after experiment and had one failure after another before he finally invented the bulb, which lighted up the whole world. So we can conclude perseverance can surely be one of the secrets of success. Furthermore, one needs to work hard to realize his dream just as the famous saying goes “Hard work leads to success”.

Look at these around us and we’ll find diligent people are always the favor of our society. They usually achieve more than expected. Why do so many of our classmates of average intelligence go far ahead of others? Hard work is definitely supposed to be the answer. And still, I hold that one must keep in pace with the informative world. There’s no denying that our world is changing every day. So one can never be locked alone inside his own room, doing his research work and dedicated to book knowledge.

How can an isolated person be well-informed enough to go ahead of others? If so, that could be ridiculous. Success is what one desires. So long as one is perseverant, hard working and up-to-date, I am sure success is near at hand.

The 15-Day Celebration of Chinese New YearThe first day of the Lunar New Year is "the welcoming of the gods of the heavens and earth."Many people abstain from meat on the first day of the new year because it is believed that this will ensure long and happy lives for them.

On the second day, the Chinese pray to their ancestors as well as to all the gods. They are extra kind to dogs and feed them well as it is believed that the second day is the birthday of all dogs.The third and fourth days are for the sons-in-laws to pay respect to their parents-in-law.The fifth day is called Po Woo. On that day people stay home to welcome the God of Wealth. No one visits families and friends on the fifth day because it will bring both parties bad luck.On the sixth to the 10th day, the Chinese visit their relatives and friends freely. They also visit the temples to pray for good fortune and health.The seventh day of the New Year is the day for farmers to display their produce. These farmers make a drink from seven types of vegetables to celebrate the occasion.

The seventh day is also considered the birthday of human beings. Noodles are eaten to promote longevity and raw fish for success.On the eighth day the Fujian people have another family reunion dinner, and at midnight they pray to Tian Gong, the God of Heaven.The ninth day is to make offerings to the Jade Emperor.The 10th through the 12th are days that friends and relatives should be invited for dinner.

After so much rich food, on the 13th day you should have simple rice congee and mustard greens (choi sum) to cleanse the system.The 14th day should be for preparations to celebrate the Lantern Festival which is to be held on the 15th night.

The Lantern Festival which occurs on the 15-th day of the First Month of the Chinese Year marks the end of the New Years Holidays.

Lanterns are everywhere. A most interesting tradition is the posting of riddles called Lantern Riddles. Riddles are written on pieces of paper and posted on lanterns or wall.
