Its about one and a half month away from the Chinese New Year, It is a festival celebrated by the Chinese people at the beginning of the lunar calendar year.

As of the Chinese traditional customs, our parents and grandparents will sweep every corner of the house and clean the windows until they gleam, and washing clothes, buying foods and goods for the new years future use and presents.

Children will be the most benefited group during this feast period. One month before that, they are expecting the new clothes, delicious foods. The firecrackers and the years allowance for their increased ages.

In recent years, with the rising of the standard of life, Chinese tend to make various holiday plans to spend a different and meaningful new year. Such as traveling abroad, or be absorbed in their hobbies, and even work.

Why today we try to spend our Chinese new year in such a different way? I think thats because this is a era of free life and personality high-ranking. Though there are still something traditional, our young generation is attempting to make something new and suitable for ourselves. And we would like to take something really worth to be cherished in our memorable treasures. Thats amazing and wonderful!

Ill always keep in mind that the Chinese new year is a great feast inherited from our ancestors, but if necessary, I would like to enjoy it by some ways personal.

The Value Of Time

I always think there is not enough time. For example， I have just taken a three-day holiday. But when I look back， I just feel that it‘s only one day. There goes a proverb， “Time is money”。 Now I want to say， time is more precious than money， because when money is spent， we can earn some more again. However， when time is gone or lost， never will it return.

Time goes without being noticed. The time for our study and work is usually limited. So I think we must make full use of our time. But it‘s a pity that I am always not aware of the importance of time until it’s too late.

So I think， I should get into the good habit of saving time because wasting time is equal to wasting one‘s life. Do not put off what can be done today till tomorrow!

参考词汇：尾气排放：exhaust emission

雾霾天气：hazy weather

注意：1．词数：120_-150；

Nowadays, the hazy weather frequently appears in our country. It has not only done harm to people’s health, but also affected the public transportation. Terrible accidents happen every now and then, some highways have to be shut down because of the low visibility.

Obviously, air pollution is the main factor that has resulted in the frequency of hazy weather. At the same time, smoke from burning coal and all kinds of dust are also important factors. Besides, exhaust emission from cars and buses has made the situation even worse.

So proper measures should be adopted to deal with the serious problem. To students, opportunities for outdoor sports activities should be decreased, washing faces and hands with running water after each outing is also important, and do not forget to wear a good-quality mask to protect yourself while going out.

I hope we will regain a fresh, clean and bright world soon.

As we all know, pollution is harmful to living beings. There are many different types of pollutions in this world. For instance, water pollution, air pollution, noise pollution and so on. Water pollution cause many kinds of disease that have negative effects on human beings, sometimes the diseases will take people’s life away. Dirty air will increase the rate of getting lung cancer. While the noise pollution will cause insomnia. People’s health condition will be damaged.

In my humble opinion, people should take measures to control the pollution. Recently, not only the government, but also individual has taken part in the action of protecting the environment. This is a good sign. Rivers are being cleaned, air is purified, and the people come to realize that the importance of protecting the environment.

However, this is not enough, the problems are still exist. Not all of them have been solved. Some factories are still pouring dirty water into the rivers or give off the toxic gas into the sky. We should know that protecting the environment needs everybody’s effort.

summer can be very hot in southern tai wan where the temperature usually goes up to 32"c or more. because of the heat it is a trying experience to go to school or do anything else in a place that is not air-conditioned. also because of this i stay at home most of the time during the summer vacation and occasionally go to the beach to plunge myself into the cool water as a way to keep my body less sticky. actually i like swimming think nothing is more refreshing than a swim. in the summer vacation that has ended i went swimming many times with my classmates we all had a good time. this summer vacation, however, was not spent entirely in seeking fun. as a second-year senior student i had to prepare myself for the college entrance examinations that were a year away. in other words, i must find time to study, too. so i divided my time between work play during the summer vacation derived benefit from this arrangement.

i spent this summer vacation in quite a different way. i used to run about every day in previous summer vacations,this summer vacation i simply could not afford to do so. i would soon be in the last year of my high-school education would after graduation be up against the college entrance examinations. though those examinations were still a year away, i had to start early to make myself well prepared by reviewing all those things i had learned at school this summer vacation was the ideal time for me to do this. at first i was rather dismayed at the thought of this,later i thought it was better this way because by working hard this summer i could count on endless happy summers to come. with this in mind i then set to work like anything and occasionally went out for a change or did some physical. i was not at all bored by this kind of life, for i was sustained by a hope.

the summer vacation had come round again. i was happy that i could forget about school at least for a while. lest i fool around all through this summer vacation, i made a plan as to how to spend it. first, i thought i should go over all those things my teachers taught in the previous term so that i could have a better understanding of them. then i thought i should take up some forms of exercise, such as walking, running rowing, to keep me physically strong. it stood to reason that with such a good plan i should make the best of my vacation time. i did, because i lived up to what i had planned.

Making Every Day Earth Day

Now the earth is in bad condition. For example, in some places, the air and water pollution is so serious that it causes many deaths. At the same time, many animals and plants are in danger because of the destruction of their habitats.

Luckily, we human beings have realized the problem. On April 22nd, millions of people across the world do something good for the earth. Some clean up beaches and water, some pick up rubbish, others give speeches to call on more people to take action. But can we save the earth only by one day’s work? The future of our planet depends on our efforts. What we should do is to make every day Earth Day. Only by taking good care of it every day can we hope to live in harmony with nature.

Youth Day (青年节) in the Peoples Republic of China is on May 4. It was established in December 1949 by the Government Administration Council to commemorate the beginning of the May Fourth Movement in 1919. This day is known as …

May Fourth Movement

Chinese intellectual revolution and sociopolitical reform movement (1917 – 21)。 In 1915 young intellectuals inspired by Chen Duxiu began agitating for the reform and strengthening of Chinese society through acceptance of Western science, democracy, and schools of thought, one objective being to make China strong enough to resist Western imperialism. On May 4, 1919, reformist zeal found focus in a protest by Beijings students against the Versailles Peace Conferences decision to transfer former German concessions in China to Japan. After more than a month of demonstrations, strikes, and boycotts of Japanese goods, the government gave way and refused to sign the peace treaty with Germany. The movement spurred the successful reorganization of the Nationalist Party and gave birth to the Chinese Communist Party. See also Treaty of Versailles.

The moment I go to high school, I have made up my mind to study hard. It is

known to all that the period of high school is the turning point of people’s

life, which may decide my future career. So I know the importance of striving

for my future. The reason why I study so hard are various. First, I want my

parents to be proud of me. When my mothers’ friends come to visit her, they

always brag about how excellent their children are, but my mother would never

take me as the topic, because she does not want me to have the pressure. I

appreciate what my mother does to me and really want her to be proud of me.

Second, If I enter a good university, I can have the promising future. It is

time for me to return my parents’ love.

To be successful, students learn many knowledge so as to master as more skills as possible. Some believe that the key to realize our dreams is to work hard and others treat chance in the first place. While today is the information world, the one who masters the all-sided source will have more chances to be successful. In my opinion, the most important skill is the social skill, because we need to make connection with others, we are not doing business with ourselves, so it is in need of having relationship with others. The good social skill can help us attract attention easily and impress the future partner. If we are bad in communicating, how can we let others know our advantages and trust us. So promoting ourselves is the first job, from now on, don’t be shy.

导语：随着人们生活水平的提高，私家车数量不断增加。下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的优秀英语作文，欢迎阅读与借鉴，谢谢!

Private cars have become an important aspect of people‘s life in many parts of our country, especially in large cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. While they bring much convenience to people, they are also widely criticized. There are some arguments for owning private cars. In the first place, cars allow people to move around freely, which greatly improves our living standard. We can easily drive cars for sightseeing on weekends. In the second place, cars are a comfortable way to travel, especially in bad weather. Last but not least, the car industry can boost economy by creating many job opportunities in production of steel, rubber, glass and so on. However, there are also many good arguments against cars. First of all, they pollute the environment by emitting harmful gases and giving out loud noises. In addition, cars cause a large number of traffic accidents, which bring great misery to the victims‘ families. As far as I am concerned, we should limit the number of private cars by providing better mass transportation and better service for the people. Everyone should sacrifice his or her own interest for the common good of the society.

【参考译文】

私家车已成为我国许多地区人民生活的一个重要方面，特别是在北京、上海和中国等大城市。虽然他们给人们带来很多方便，但他们也被广泛批评。有一些理由拥有私家车。首先，汽车可以让人们自由走动，这大大提高了我们的生活水平。周末我们可以很容易地开车观光。其次，汽车是一种舒适的旅行方式，尤其是在恶劣的天气里。最后但并非最不重要的是，汽车工业可以通过创造钢铁、橡胶、玻璃等的就业机会来提振经济。然而，也有许多好论据反对汽车。首先，他们通过排放有害气体和发出大声的噪音来污染环境。此外，汽车造成了大量的交通事故，给遇难者家属带来了极大的痛苦。就我而言，我们应该通过提供更好的大众运输和更好的服务来限制私家车的数量。为了社会的共同利益，每个人都应该牺牲自己的利益。

Nowadays, with the development of computer, the function of computer has developed, too. We can use computer to check the instant news, make friend and so on. The reason why so many people addict to computer is that they like to play the computer games, there are all kinds of computer games, everyone can find a game which is suitable to him. Too much involve in the computer games is wasting time, we should control our habit. First, we must set the limit time on it, wed better not to play the game over an hour. We have to tell ourselves that we must stop playing when the time is up, we have another thing to do. Second, we should go out with friends often, so we can communicate with others, it makes our mind not focus on the computer games. I am not saying we should not play computer games, but we should not addict to it.

Integrity, literally can be divided into honesty and trustworthiness. Honesty and keep faith, just as its name implies. Responsible for yourself, to be honest and trustworthy is responsible for others. They say: "gentlemans word is an arrow let fly." Heavy reputation, integrity is our traditional virtue of the Chinese nation. Jinan of shandong province port ditch county village villagers creature can use action to explain the Chinese virtue, keep good faith.

In 1948, jinan campaign five martyrs died and Liu Yanbao grandfather by the army chief, look after five martyrs, and liujia people unwilling to pay someone carved five tombstone, and planted around the conifers. ChengJun one, and will keep a lifetime. The lius man to keep his promise in the forces that keep is 63, liu four generations, no matter how things change commitment of the heart. The lius mans story is a loyalty.

Liujia people use action interpretation of promises, but taobao shop moves all the way the busy up house but with a terrible price to tell us the importance of prestige.

Up house President said in an interview: "the best house in the beginning is only a small shop, I very want to develop it. On one occasion, a very good friend and I go to my home, he also brought a friend, we are chatting chatting is said here I really want to give up and housing development on the topic of when my friends friend, he said he had a friend, there are more than one thousand real hand bags, because home have something need to deal with, I was tempted you listen, take time to go look at the, the style is good, Ill use 10 sure-fire bought, but a few days later I received the goods, found that there is something wrong with the goods. At that time wanted to sell, suddenly thought of champions have garden, then put the heart a horizontal, is dumped goods 10 yuan a go out, the result was almost closed. Today in the morning to be able to change and also our philosophy has important relationship. At the beginning of haier group, too!"

Can be seen from the above example, honesty and hand letter is indispensable to our growth path. The old saying about; "You will lose some time we must give up big or small. The foundation of good faith, people.

诚信，从字面上看可以分为诚实与守信。诚实与守信，顾名思义。诚实是对自己负责，守信是对他人负责。俗语说：“君子一言，驷马难追。”重信誉、守诚信是我们中华民族的传统美德。山东省济南市港沟县神武村的村民就用行动来诠释了中华美德——守诚信。

在1948年济南战役时，5位烈士为国捐躯，刘延宝的爷爷受部队首长之托，照看5位烈士，而刘家人节衣缩食花钱请人刻了五个墓碑，并在周围栽上了松柏。承君一诺、必守终生。刘家人为了信守对部队首长的诺言这一守便是63年，刘家祖孙四代无论世事如何变迁，一直坚守心中的承诺。刘家人的事迹是一首忠义的赞歌。

刘家人用行动诠释了守承诺，然而淘宝网店一路走势红火的上上屋却是用惨痛代价告诉我们重信誉的重要性。

上上屋总裁在一次访问中说道：“上上屋在最开始的时候只是一家小店，我很想把它发展一下。有一次，一个和我很好的朋友去我家做客，他还带了一个朋友，我们聊着聊着就说到了我很想把上上屋发展一下的话题上，当时我朋友的朋友就说他有一个朋友，手里有一千多个真皮包，因为家里有点事需要处理一下，我当时一听就心动了，抽空去看了一下，样式还不错，我就用10万全买了，可是过了几天我收到货的时候，就发现货有问题。当时本想卖了，突然想到‘冠生园’的事，后来把心一横，就把货10元一个甩了出去，结果当时差点倒闭了。今天上上午能够如此蒸蒸日上也和我们的理念有重要关系。当初的海尔集团也是如此啊!”

从上面的例子可以看出，诚实和手信是我们成长道路上不可缺少的伙伴。古语讲;“有得必有失”有些时候我们必须舍大取小。诚信二字，人之根本。

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

much pressure and she suggested me to take relax and made progress step by step.

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

look back on the passed days, it was just a small problem for me. I got over the

hard moment and become a strong person.

元旦”的“元”，指开始，是第一的意思，凡数之始称为“元”;“旦”，象形字，上面的“日”代表太阳，下面的“一”代表地平线。“旦”即太阳从地平线上冉冉升起，象征一日的开始。人们把“元”和“旦”两个字结合起来，就引申为新年开始的第一天。元旦又称“三元”，即岁之元、月之元、时之元。元旦一词最早始于三皇五帝，唐房玄龄等人写的《晋书》上载:“颛帝以孟春正月为元，其时正朔元旦之春。”即把正月称为元，初一为旦。南朝梁人兰子云的《介雅》诗也云:“四气新元旦，万寿初今朝。”

还有个传说，是在4000多年前远古的尧舜盛世之时，尧天子在位时勤政于民为百姓办了很多好事，很受广大百姓爱戴，但因其子无才不太成器，他没把“天子”的皇位传给自己的儿子，而是传给了品德才能兼备的舜。尧对舜说:“你今后一定要把帝位传交好，待我死后也可安心瞑目了。”后来舜把帝位传给了治洪水有功的禹，禹亦像舜那样亲民爱民为百姓做了很多好事，都十分受人爱戴。后来人们把尧死后，舜帝祭祀天地和先帝尧的那一天，当作一年的开始之日，把正月初一称为“元旦”，或“元正”，这就是古代的元旦。
