我记事中的春节是张灯结彩的,是热热闹闹的,餐厅是聚集着一大家人的笑声,爸爸妈妈会带着我和哥哥一起出去玩,给我们买玩具,买好吃的……但今年的春节却是特别的,因为特别的冷清。

2020年春节因为一场新型冠状病毒肺炎的出现,千家万户都只能呆在家里。整整一个春节我除了写作业,就只能和哥哥玩,爸爸也难得不为工作整天跑东跑西,他的电话有时两天也不响一下。妈妈每天变着法的给我们找乐子,今天做个小手工,明天办个手抄报,我们一家人开开心心的,就是不能出去玩。正月十五晚上,我们一家人看了中央电视台举办的元宵特别节目,听主持人说这是一个没有现场观众的晚会,因为千家万户都要宅在家中,躲避病毒。在电视里我看到很多很多穿白大褂的医生、护士,不分昼夜的在医碌着,他们的脸上被长时间佩戴口罩勒出了红红的伤痕。爸爸告诉我,这些医护人员是在和时间赛跑,是从病魔手中抢救病人。我似懂非懂的点点头,扭脸看向妈妈,发现她却流下了眼泪,我疑惑的看向她,妈妈说:她是被感动了,情不自禁的哭了。爸爸告诉我们,这个病毒感染力很强,传播途径简单。我们全家响应政府号召宅在家中,不串门,不去人员聚集的地方,出门戴口罩,做这些就是给社会做了贡献。

正月十六一大早,我的爸爸也参加了社区组织的党员先锋队,为我们所在的街道站岗执勤。爸爸告诉我,在小区的外面还有很多很多的人在一线战斗着,他们在医院,在高速路口、在道路上、在田野、在村庄,守护着我们的安全,他们逆行而上,不惧病毒的威胁,放弃自家的温馨,为了大家的健康安全,贡献着、付出着、他们才是我们应该尊重的人、敬佩的人、值得学习的人。

这就是2020年的特别的春节,没有张灯结彩的绚丽,没有锣鼓喧嚣的热闹,面对突如其来的疫情,我们国家人民团结起来,一定能够取得这次胜利。

There is an old saying goes that failure is the mother of success. Everyone

confronts with failures even those famous and successful figures. Some people

say that failure lashes them to work harder. Some think that failures are so

depressing and we should not to make any failures. For me, I cherish failures

very much for we can realize our shortcomings from them.

First of all, we can learn from failure and get more experience. It is

indeed so disappointed when we confront with failure. However, we can always get

some experience from failures and makes us understand our weak point. If we can

learn from failure, then we will avoid such problem in the coming days.

Secondly, the more failures, the more successful we will be. As the old

saying goes that failure is the mother of success. The more failure we make, the

more successful we will be. If we make many mistakes, then we will learn a lot

from them and will do better when we meet the same kind of problems. This means

we will obtain great success if we meet more failures.

All in all, failure is a bad thing for people, but it is a good chance for

us to learn more from it and become successful in the future.

篇6:描写中国春节初中

+ 加入清单

每一年的春节都在张灯结彩、鞭炮声声、欢声笑语中度过。今年的春节,却在众志成城、抗击疫情的篇篇报道和一串串上涨的数字中经历着。

我们全国各地的人都在关注着这次疫情。这不禁让我回想起爸爸跟我谈论的非典型性肺炎。那次是突如其来的病毒在广东出现,随即传染到全国各地,各省各市都受到了不同程度的影响。一时间,病毒的传染掀起了轩然大浪,顿时成为了国内人民共同关注的焦点。此疫情还导致了不少人死亡,令许多“白衣天使”因传染而丧命。

今天,我们中国的武汉也因为一种新型病毒而生病了,从各种渠道得知,这是新型的冠状性病毒,比2003年的非典要厉害的多,一时,人心惶恐,这时,从电视上看到了终南山院士挺身而出的报导,那仅仅是几幅镜头——钟南山院士静静地睡在了餐车的一角,紧接着的就是他与其他医生开会的景象,最后便是他在新闻发布会上的演讲照片,一名84岁的老院士,这个年纪的他本该坐享天伦之乐,却奋不顾身的的赶往前线。

在这次病情中,中国人民的团结正深刻地展现出来,正所谓一方有难八方支援,从手机视频中看到一个个来自各地的医生护士,不惜牺牲自己的春节假期,回到医院穿起那沉重的防护服,带上会把自己的脸勒出一条痕迹的口罩,在本该享受青春的年纪,他们选择奋战在抗疫的第一线。

病毒虽摧垮了我们的身体,但摧垮不了我们坚定的毅力!只愿武汉能早日恢复,中国不会放弃你,中国人民也不会放弃你!

不一样的春节,每个不同的家庭,怀着同样的心情和希望。让疫情赶紧过去,在疫区的医生们能够平安回来。加油,中国!

at present, more and more people think that men and women should enjoy

equal rights. many countries even have passed laws to guarantee such an equality

between different sexes. accordingly, there are now no longer certain jobs or

certain places that are closed to women. the number of business women, female

doctors, scientists and leaders is considerably increasing.

there are three main reasons for the improvement of womens social

position. first, women themselves have been persistently struggling for

equality. second, men also realize that women are not born inferior to them.

women can do a great many things as well as or even better than men. third,

social development has produced a great demand for womens participation in

every field.

in spite of these changes the liberation of women has not been completely

realized. prejudice against women is deeply rooted still in some peoples mind,

especially in distant rural areas. so, mankind should take further painstaking

efforts to really realize equality.
