In recent year, as people’s living quality increase, most families are tending to send their children to study abroad. This phenomenon has caused most people’s attention. Some argue that we should send children to foreign country to study because they think that other countries’ education is better than our traditional Chinese education. Some don’t think so because they believe that students should learn our traditional culture instead of going abroad. In my opinion, I think students should be sent to foreign country to receive sophisticated education. Reasons are listed as the following.

Firstly, Students can learn more through foreign country’s education. As we all know, most students study just for entering into a better university in our country. All they learn is how to pass exams and get high scores in school. On the contrary, the Western education pays attention to students’ practical ability which would be a more efficient way to learn rather than getting knowledge from books. To get more experience, students should be sent to abroad to study.

Secondly, students would be more independent after study abroad. When students are sent to abroad, they must take care of themselves in all aspects, gradually, they would learn how to deal with things they confronted rather than turning to their parents as they may do in their own country.

All in all, students should be sent to abroad to study so that they can attain more knowledge and also become more independently.

最近几年，随着人们生活质量的提高，许多的家庭都选择把孩子送到国外读书。这种现象引起了很多人的关注。一些人认为我们送孩子到国外读书可以让孩子受到比 中国传统教育更好的教育。一些人却不这样认为，他们觉得孩子应该在国内多学习中国的文化，而不是到国外接受教育。就我来说，我认为学生应该被送到国外接受 先进的教育。原因如下：

首先，国外的教育能让学生学到更多的知识。众所周知，国内的大部分学生学习的目的都是为了能够进入一所稍微好点儿的大学。他们在学校学到的东西主要是为了 通过考试和获得高分。相反地，西方教育更注重锻炼学生的实际能力，这样一来，学生从实践中学到的知识比从书本上得到的知识更多。为了能得到更多的实践经 验，学生应该到国外读书。

其次，在国外学习过的学生会更加独立。学生在国外读书的时候，他们必须自己照顾自己，所有的事情都必须自己处理。因此，在国外他们要学会自己处理遇到的问题而不像在国内一样向父母求助。

总之，送学生到国外读书不仅能学到更多的知识，而且学生也会变得更加独立。

Buses are the cheapest but the slowest of the four. Taxis run more quickly than buses, but they are more expensive. Now, more and more people choose to use electric bikes. The electric bike is both clean and mobile. It also saves money. It is the most convenient means of transportation.

天色逐渐暗下来，大地笼罩着一片朦胧的夜色。作业搞定了，随手拿起“士别多日”的《格林童话》。好像找回了曾经不知何时失去的童心。的确，这曾是我小学时期的最爱，却不知何时被放在了最不起眼的角落，积落了灰层，当现在再次拿起，心中难免会有些触物伤情。

我随意地翻着书，一行醒目的标题清晰地映入我的眼帘。

??——《本领超群的四兄弟》。故事记叙了四兄弟在学业有成，回到家听到国王发出的通告：“谁要是救出了公主，谁就能成为公主的丈夫”即国一的王位继承人。四兄弟觉得“大显身手”的机会到了，经过商量，他们开始了“英雄救美”的行动计划。

作为天文学家的老二，拿起他那个所谓“天上地下所发生的一切，任何东西都逃不出他的眼睛的望眼镜”，看到了海中的岩石上，坐着公主，但恶龙就守坐在公主旁边。老三虽是神枪手，却也不敢轻易开枪，毕竟距离较远容易误伤公主。于是，神偷老大行遂自荐，偷偷溜过去，将公主成功背回，并未惊动恶龙。恶龙醒来，发现公不见，马上展翅高飞，从空中雷速追来，很快，恶龙就盘旋在船上空，而且发出雷鸣般的吼声。神枪手老三毅然举枪射击，正射中恶龙的心脏，恶龙当场死亡，从空中笔直跌了下来，它庞大的身躯将小船砸得粉碎。他们每人都抓住船板，不让小船散开或沉入水中，小船才得以保全原形，裁缝老四拿出那根可以把“软得像蚊子的翅膀，硬得像钢铁，都难不倒他”的万能的针，迅速缝了起来，终于将船缝合好，平安返回。

返回，使和睦的四兄弟反目为仇，毕竟“只有一人能娶到公主”，而大家的功劳又不分上下，就在他们准备大打出手时，国王提出了建议“你们都有为营救公主出了力，我十分感激，依我看，你们都别娶公主了。我给你们每人一大笔钱，各自娶老婆吧。”四兄弟听了十分高兴，觉得这样很好，“能让他们兄弟更团结”，于是，各自拿了钱，兴冲冲回家，过趣了幸福的田园生活。

一滴水可以反射出太阳的光辉，一个故事，可以折射出从生的真谛。俗语说“人心齐泰山移”，不就正好说明了团结有战无不胜的力量吗?料想。当初四兄弟没有齐心协力，共同拯公主，而是各自单独行动，那到头来，就没有今天的胜利，只有他们被恶龙各个击破的败局。不但公主救不成，也许还会付出宝贵的生命作为代价。王曾说过“一堆沙子是松散的，可是它和水泥、石子、水混合以后，比花岗石还坚韧”，这足以说明团结就是力量，个人的力量是渺小的，只有团结集体，才能汇集成强大的力量，取得辉煌的胜利。

在我们中国，团结互助的精神有着源远流长的传统，是我们炎黄子孙繁荣昌盛，举国稳定统一的精神力量和伦理道德的支柱。过去，在革命战争年代，我们要赶走侵略者，推倒压在人民头上的三座大山，需要团结共同抵抗外敌;今天，我们进行社会主义现代化建设，同样需要团结共同为建设祖国而奋斗。雷锋曾说过这样一句话“一朵鲜花打扮不出美丽的春天，众人先进才能移山填海”。的确，团结就是力量。在茫茫沙漠中，一棵树抵挡不住暴风，千棵万棵树，才能减少沃土沙漠化，在硕大一个花园，一朵花迎接不来春的使者，百花齐放，才能春满园，在广阔无垠的大海中，一滴水显示不出大海的气魄，一片才能展现出大海磅礴的气势;在浩瀚无际的宇宙中，一颗星星衬托不出星空的美丽，群星闪烁才能体现出宇宙的浩瀚，星星的璀璨。

让我们团结起来吧!团结就是力量。

高尔基曾经说过书籍是人类进步的阶梯，老师说书籍是火把，照亮我的读书之路，而我说书籍是我的快乐的源泉。不知从何时开始，我就和书结下了不解之缘。

在我看过的众多书籍之中，我最喜欢的书就要数《爱的教育》了。这本书的作者是亚米契斯，主人公是一个意大利四年级的小学生，叫安利柯。这本书是亚米契斯花费十年时间写出来的，他以日记体的形式写出了一个意大利四年级小学生身边的成长故事和感人故事，还有安利柯父母在安利柯的日记本上的对安利柯的启示。书中把他对国家、民族、社会的大我之爱和对朋友、同学、老师的小我之爱生动地表现出来了。还有老师每一个月都讲的每月故事也是如此的感人。

有一次，我在家里又捧起了心爱的《爱的教育》看了起来。看着看着，妈妈走过来对我说：我出去买包盐，你在家里把衣服晾好我不由自主地说了一声：哦，知道了！妈妈出去了后，我却把晾衣服的事给忘了。等妈妈回来了后，她便对我大声地呵斥道：陈泰兴！衣服怎么没有晾？你干什么去了？我恍然大悟，从书的世界中清醒过来，才想起妈妈要我去晾衣服的事。我只得依依不舍地放下书，极不情愿地去晾衣服了。

读书破万卷，下笔如有神。这是杜甫眼中的书。书是全世界的营养品。这是莎士比亚眼中的书。多读书，读好书，好读书。这是我眼中的书。

As a student, we have study for many years. During there years, we study

Chinese, English, science and so on. In this period, with the improvement of our

knowledge, we not only read the books in class but also read extracurricular

after school. In my opinion Dream of the red chamber is the best book I have

read. In this book, the great author Cao xueqin his view about love. He had

firmly faith in what is the true love and try to tell us that there are

different kinds of love, only one kind which should be considered as True

Love.

In a dream, and under mythical circumstances, the main character of the

novel, Jia baoyu, met the Fairy Disenchantment in the Land of Illusions. She

showed him three "registers" each containing the names and "the happenings in

life" of 12 girls in his clan. Each girl represents a kind of love.

From the stories which are unfolding in the novel, the reader should know

the characteristics of the different kinds of love, and should be able to

distinguish True Love from the other kinds.

True love is acceptance, committal, mutual and without any post conditions.

The love between Lin daiyu and Jia baoyu is considered to be True Love. Just

saying or hearing I love you is not good enough because talk is cheap. Action in

mutual commitment is essential, as we can see in the novel.

We always have dreams. What’s ours dream? Do you know what you exactly

want? And do you work hard for it. In this book, you can taste the feeling of

the author about his strong will. In his words, you can find the charm of

Chinese. It is not a book, but a precious deposits. You can get a lot from it.

But unfortunately, the novel was never "completed" to such a state. On the other

hand, maybe, it is another kind of beauty of the book. If you have not read this

book yet, just go and read it. You will love it.

The great writer gorky once said: "books are the ladder of human progress." "He spoke such a truth: actually the human to hard climbing, climbing a ladder of books. The books are made of ladder above, is a resplendent and magnificent palace of knowledge, therefore, we must try to climb, to learn from.

Human knowledge to create wealth, as the vast ocean, extensive and profound. People often think of elementary school, middle school and university studies described as the "everybody" on climbing, in the "university" swim in. So, we should read more books and books to purify the mind, in the book knowledge to enrich themselves.

In our life, if always too passively reading, tend to be less than the pleasure of reading. With a scholarly paper, open a little tenderness, and then quietly looked at the text as time moves slip from your eyes... At this time, you will feel that reading is a matter of how to make people happy! Reading is a kind of mood, the elegant comfortable is the best psychological reagent. Go to the reading, you will have more found.

Read more books, read good books. Due to a selective reading of the book of knowledge also should have choice to adopt, is the so-called take its essence.

大作家高尔基曾经说过这样一句话：“书是人类进步的阶梯。”“他其实说出了这样一个道理：人类要努力地攀登，攀登书籍的阶梯。而书籍做成的阶梯上面，是一座金碧辉煌的知识宫殿，所以，我们一定要努力地去攀登，去汲取。

人类创造的知识财富，如同浩瀚的海洋，博大精深。人们常把小学、中学、大学阶段的学习形容为在“书山“上攀登，在“学海“中遨游。所以，我们应该多读书，用书来净化心灵，用书中的知识充实自己。

在我们的生活中，如果总是太过于被动地去读书，往往是体会不到读书的乐趣的。捧一纸书香，打开一点温存的光，就那么静静地看着文字随着时间的舞步从你眼前滑过……这时，你就会感觉到，读书是一件多么让人快乐的事情!读书是一种心情，那一抹书香带来的舒坦是最好的心理试剂。去读书吧，你一定会有更多的发现。

多读书，还应读好书。读书要应有个选择性，对书本中的知识也要有选择的采纳，就是所谓取其精华。

这个月我读了一本书，书名叫做《昆虫记》，它是由法国著名的昆虫学家——法布尔写的。

书中主要讲了他在自己家的庄园里研究昆虫，那儿的昆虫应有尽有：蚂蚁是顽强的乞丐，蝉才是勤劳的生产者;凶残的心理专家―螳螂，可怕的巨毒黑腹舞蛛，建筑大师迷宫珠……读着一个个栩栩如生的昆虫故事，我身临其境，仿佛与法布尔一起畅游在昆虫的世界里，感受它的奇妙。

看了《昆虫记》，我才发现昆虫的世界也是如此丰富多彩的，尽管他们不会像人类一样用语言来表达事情，但它们的每一个动作都有它的深刻含义。世界上生命无处不在，往往一些微小的生命容易被忽略，人类虽然在生物链的顶端，可我们却不知道如果没有了这些微小的生命，世界会怎样呢?昆虫，它们是食物链中不可缺少的一环，它们对我们来说万般重要，它们的生命也应该得到尊重，正好应对了一句话：麻雀虽小，五脏俱全。

从《昆虫记》这本书的细致描写，可以看出作者的独具匠心。他语言生动、活泼，而且充满了情趣。他把感情融入到观察当中，使我们了解到昆虫与环境息息相关。以后，我要像法布尔那样仔细观察身边的事物。

读书使我增长知识，正因为有了书，我才知道有神机妙算的诸葛亮，豪放勇敢的武松…正因为有了书，我才发现世界有这么多的人，这么多的故事。我喜欢书中的内容，幽默的，悲伤的，凄美的……

读书能陶冶人的情操，给人知识和智慧。所以我们应该多读书，为我们以后的人生道路打下好的，扎实的基础!

我爱读书，读书使我的人生充实而从容，悠闲而舒适，安静而丰富，读书使我快乐!

Laba rice porridge contains glutinous rice , red beans, millet, Chinese sorghum, peas, dried lotus seeds, red beans and some other ingredients, such as dried dates, chestnut meat, walnut meat, almond, peanut, etc. Actually eight ingredients are used, cooked with sugar to make the porridge tasty.

Northerners prefer to use glutinous rice, red beans, dates, lotus seeds, dried pulp, walnuts , pine nuts and other dried fruits in their porridge; southerners like a salty porridge prepared with rice, soybeans, peanuts, broad beans, taro, water chestnuts, walnuts, vegetables and diced meat. In the north, it is a dessert with sugar added; in the south, salt is put in. Some people like to add cinnamon and other condiments to add flavor.

Controlling the heat is of great importance in making Laba porridge. At the start, the flame must be high, but the fire is then turned down to let the porridge simmer until it begins to emit a very delicious smell. The process is time-consuming but not complicated.

Laba porridge is not only easy to prepare, but also a nutritious winter food because it contains amino acids, protein, vitamins and other nutrition people need. Cooked nuts and dried fruit are good for soothing nerves, nourishing one‘s heart and vitality, and strengthening the spleen. Perhaps that is why it is also called babao (Eight Treasure) porridge.
