Looking back yesterday, I also laughed at by others in the middle of the night cant sleep because of the school to watch TV, its not, I also can not sleep, wake up several times at night, thinking: the teacher should be early to go to school is busy, isnt it? Are students happy to wear new clothes to school? ...... I took suspense to get out of bed, just went out to have a cool autumn wind to face oncoming, "oh, very cold, good composition 800 words" the beginning of the beginning of school to think composition 800 words: school begins "." I said to close the door, wash my face and brush my hair. I looked up at the clock and hurried to school without breakfast.

At the school gate, I saw the shy and shy zhang Lin. She greeted me with a smiling face, and I went up to her and asked her, "who sent you?" He said, "my mother didnt come, my grandfather came, but I cant find my grandpa now." I said, "dont worry, Ill go with you to your grandpa, you go and put your bag down first." He hastened to his head.

Just in class, the sunny boy, wang feng, beckoned to me, as if the wild horses on the prairie were restrained, and we put down our bags and headed for the girls apartment.

The strangers who didnt know each other helped each other, and the students made way for them. The parents are so hard, the students are so sensible.

Back to the classroom, the head teacher has already paid attention to the matter. The teacher with a serious and warm heart, long time no see. He was not talking about matters of attention, but of his own children.

Before we knew it, it was the last class. We listened carefully and said no more mischief.

A little bit of time goes by...

It was already night lessons time, students homework consciously, no noise, whispering, the teacher in charge dont have the heart to break the silence, is swept up, that this is our work, but let the teacher to do, alas! When the teacher came to me, I would like to say a few times, "the teacher asked me to come." But this sentence had been in the mouth for a long time, after all refused to come out. The hard teacher, take a rest.

The first day of school, the new semester, the new knowledge, cherish every minute, will have the harvest.

回首昨天，我还在笑别人因为上学而半夜睡不着觉起来看电视的呢，这不，我也睡不着了，夜里醒来几次，想着：老师应该早早的起来去学校忙碌了吧？同学们也因上学穿上新衣而高兴无比吧？……我带着悬念起了床，刚出门就有一股凉飕飕的秋风迎面而来，“哎呀，好冷啊，优秀作文800字《开学所想作文800字:开学了》。”我说着赶紧把门关上，在屋里洗脸刷牙梳头。抬头一看表都六点半了，没吃早饭就急忙赶到学校了。

在校门口，我看到了那内向而羞涩的张琳，她用笑脸与我打招呼，我连忙上去问她好，我问他：“谁送你来的？”他说：“我妈没来，我爷爷来的，可我现在找不到我的爷爷了。”我又说：“你先别急，我陪你去找你爷爷，你先去放下书包。”他连忙点点头。

刚进班，那阳光可爱的男孩——王丰向我打着招呼，好像草原上脱缰的野马被拘束了，我们放下书包就直奔女生公寓了。

楼道间，那互不认识的陌生人都在互相帮助，学生们一一为他们让路。家长们是那么辛苦，同学们是那么懂事。

再次回到教室，班主任已经先讲注意事项了。那面带严肃而心带温暖的老师，好久不见。他讲的不再是注意事项，而是对自己孩子的百般呵护。

不知不觉，已经是最后一节课了，我们认真听讲不再打闹调皮。

时间一点一滴的过着……

已经是晚自习时间了，同学们自觉的写作业，没有喧闹、窃窃私语，班主任不忍心打破沉寂，自己却扫起了地，那本是我们的活儿，却让老师来干，唉！老师扫到我这儿来了，我几次想说：“老师让我来吧！”可是这句话却在口中带了多时，终究不肯出来。那辛勤的老师啊，您休息休息吧！

开学第一天，新学期，新知识，珍惜每分每秒，必会有收获。

I have to say that music really has a strong attractiveness to me. Naturally, everyone can choose suitable music to listen to. However, when you find a kind of music which can bring happiness to you, you will be surprised and become excited. Music has a magical energy, and it can help people gain good mood in a great extent.

When you feel sad, you can have a try to listen to soothing music. At first, soothing music will let you calm down. You will find that you will play much attention to the music, and then your sadness can be decreased. You will enter music ocean. You can experience a baptism of your heart. It does not matter that when you listen to soothing music and you want to cry, you should just follow yourself feeling to have a thorough release. Music will give you enough encourage to overcome difficulties.

Music also can double your happiness and arouse the fighting. For instance, when you solve some very difficult situations and gain success eventually, you will have a great mood. At this time, exciting music will witness your success. You will feel satisfied. Music lets you remember the glorious moment and cherish your success. Music can give you unlimited motivation to achieve goals，because you still want to listen to glorious music.

In addition, music includes a lot of useful knowledge. People can learn precious knowledge from music. Because there is different music, we can find out that different nations have different music thoughts to express. And from music, we can listen to music culture. Music culture will givee you a deeper understanding to learn foreign culture, such as foreign language, foreign history and foreign traditional customs and so on. In a word, music has an important effect on promoting society development.

Music indeed has a magical power to help people and society develop. I believe that music will still continue to bring us many surprises. As the development of society, great music will become more important.

We havebeen told when we were a little child that we help others as they are in need. Weoften do as what we were told in the childhood, but when we grow up nowadays weare not dare to help others.

Because the society becomes more and complicated. Thereare some people will make traps for the kind people.

For example, you see anold lady falling on the ground and you would like to help her. However, you maybe charged for pushing her down and ask you to give money for seeing a doctor. Yeah,this things often happen.

But helping others is the traditional for ourChinese, we should carry it out on any condition. Helping others will not onlyhelp other people but also help yourself.

You will feel happy and satisfy whenassisting others. So please give a hand to the people in need carefully.

我们在很小的时候就被告知要帮助那些需要帮助的人。

我们小的时候经常就像被告知的那样做，但当我们长大了，我们却不敢去帮助别人了。

因为社会变得更复杂了。有一些人会对善良的人设陷阱。例如，你看到一个老太太倒在地上，你想帮她。

但是，她可能会说是你把她推到的并让你赔偿医药费。是的，这种事情经常发生。但帮助他人是我们中国的传统，不管在任何情况下我们都要发扬光大。帮助别人不仅可以帮助别人也是帮助自己。在帮助他人时你会感到快乐和满足。所以请小心的帮助需要帮助的人。

Hi, TigerMom ,

What puzzles you is actually a puzzle for many parents in China . My idea

is that it is quite right for you to do so .

Although high grades are an important factor in evaluating students and for

their future university admission , development in wisdom emotion ,health and

life attitude should never be ignored . There are many examples around us . Some

all—A students in school have turned out not to be as successful in society as

they were expected. The reason is often that the pressure from their parents

allows them almost no time for other activities . Furthermore , punishment is by

no means a wise choice to help them grow up mentally and physically .

So I suggest that you take your friends’ advice . More importantly, let her

live like a lovely girl ; let her have more friends and social activities ; and

let her make mistakes of her own as we teenagers often do .

to travel and enjoy scenery.I like riding bicycle.

When I went to middle school, it was hard for me to adjust the new

environment at first, because there were so many subjects to learn, I fell

behind other students. I did not know what to do, I just wanted to get away from

school. I talked about my annoyance to my friend, she told me that I got too

She said everything would be better someday. Now I have made progress and when I

In class, she always listening, always not distracted; Next class, she will be very happy to play with us; Generous, but singing, there is always a little shy; After school, her laughter echoed in the quiet of the path.

One day after school, I and he is in a secluded road, see a cute kitten is "meow meow" cried, and its fur is white, the ear is pink short beard, its like an emerald eyes glowing aura. Little rabbit slowly moves the line of sight, "ah!" Little rabbit exclaimed, "its a calf injury, we take it home to bind up once!" Little rabbit say that finish, with poor looked at it, and looked at me with pleading eyes, for fear that I dont promise to her. "Ok." I agreed. She was glad to picked it up and gently stroked it a few times, said: "lets go." We quickly returned home.

Back home, we see it wound cleaning, and for gauze bandaging the wound, to feed it a little bit of biscuit, drank some water, we really like about it for a patient.

Later, the kittens injury is good, already can walk, it was glad to shake the tail, naughty blunt we call incessantly, seem to express our rescue of it. We also often go to see it, take care of it, the three of us became good friends.

I would also like to thank the kittens, if not it, friendship between rabbit and I wouldnt like gem denim!

译文

朋友可以是同学，可以是萍水相逢的人，也可以是忘年交……从小到大，我们都有朋友，但总有一个最好的朋友。

我最好的朋友是小兔。 小兔这个名称很适合她，她比较瘦，戴着一副眼镜，在她的身上总能找到天真可爱的气息。

上体育课时，她跑得可快啦!她跑起来像一阵风，鬼点子很多，你总不知道她在想什么。

上课时，她会认真听讲，总不分神;下课时，她也会很高兴地和我们玩耍;很大方，但唱歌时，总是有一点羞涩;放学时，她的欢声笑语回荡在僻静的小路上。

有一天放学后，我和他走在僻静的小路上，看见了一只可爱的小猫正“喵喵喵喵”地叫着，它的毛是雪白的，耳朵是粉红色的短短的胡须，它那绿宝石一样的眼睛里泛着灵气。小兔慢慢地移动了视线，“呀!”小兔惊叫一声，“它的小腿受伤了，我们把它带回家去包扎一下吧!”小兔说完，用可怜的目光看着它，又用恳求的目光看着我，生怕我不答应她似地。“好吧。”我答应了。她高兴地把它抱起来，轻轻地抚摸了它几下，说：“我们走吧。”我们飞快地回到了家里。

回到家后，我们把它的伤口清洗了一下，又找来纱布把伤口包扎了一下，给它喂了一点饼干，喝了一点水，我们对它可真像对一个病人呀。

后来，小猫的伤好了，已经可以走路了，它高兴地摇摇尾巴，淘气的冲我们叫个不停，似乎在表达我们对它的救助之恩。我们也经常一起去看望它，照顾它，我们三个成了好朋友。

我还要感谢这只小猫呢，如果不是它，我和小兔之间的友谊也不会像宝石一样坚固呢!

Food

safety has been closely watched, because our everyday life simply can not do

without food. Everyone knows this, but always some people again, lets worry

about it, whether our food safety and health.

Recently

of malachite green, Sudan red, and so on have been "destroyed" and are these

hearts duck eggs, and havent been solved completely. But even if they now have

to solve, but we also have to worry about "they" will not back not just in the

future? Thought of here, I cant help but think constantly behind the scenes

"make" the food of a few to endanger the safety of life. So I just sent a such

doubts are these people for the sake of what? I want to or for a word - money,

money is the devils bait. Because of the money, how many times this happened in

the world of murder, robbery and theft? Who would have thought such a sum of

money, is want to jail and the court criminal "supplier"?

Is

because the money has arisen: artificial sweetener, saccharin sodium, cyclamate

and preservatives (sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate), etc. The use of food

additives. Therefore, I very want to some people dont understand, how many

people did their "product" harm? There are a lot of people after eating these

so-called "health and safe food" and diarrhea and vomiting, and even lost his

life!

However,

I think, in addition to criticise those who only know to make money and people

who do not care about their health and safety, we also need to improve their

awareness.

Such

as: apple too shiny instructions may be played in a wax. White spot on the

grapes too much may be excessive pesticide use.

These

instructions, defense artificially added chemicals in food, some harmful

substance is but with the naked eye or simple method of inspection.

We

should pay attention to food safety, want to for the sake of our health and make

great efforts, to strive for the sake of our civilization.

食品安全一直倍受关注，因为我们的日常生活根本离不开食品。所有人都知道这一点，但又总一些人，让我们担心，我们的食品是否安全，是否卫生。

最近的孔雀石绿、苏丹红等这些是已经被“消灭”了还有红心鸭蛋等还没完全被解决的。不过就算它们现在已经给解决了，可是我们还要担心“它们”还会不会在不就的将来卷土重来呢?想到这里，我就不禁想到了在幕后不断“制造”这一些危害人生安全的食品的人。于是我就发出了这样的疑惑这些人是为了什么?我想还是为了一个字——钱，钱是魔鬼得意的诱饵。因为钱，这世界上发生过多少次的谋杀、抢劫和盗窃?谁能想到这么一张张的钱币，竟是想监狱和法庭输送罪犯的“供应商”?

也就是因为了钱产生了：人工合成甜味剂(糖精钠、甜蜜素)和防腐剂(苯甲酸钠、山梨酸钾)等食品添加剂的使用情况。因此，我十分的想些人明不明白，他们的“产品”危害了多少人?有许多的人因为吃了这些所谓的“卫生、安全食品”而上吐下泻乃至丢了性命的!

不过，我想，除了批评那些只知道赚钱而不顾及他们身体健康、安全的人以外，我们还要提高自己的防范意识!

如：苹果过于的`发亮说明苹果可能打过蜡。葡萄上的白斑过多可能就是农药使用过量。

这些说明，防御食品中人为的添加化学物质、有害物质有些是可是用肉眼或简单的方法检验出来的。

我们要关注食品安全，要为了我们的健康而努力，要为了我们的文明而努力。

The 15-Day Celebration of Chinese New Year.

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.
