After a short but happy winter holiday, we come back to school today.

Its the beginning of the new term. I am happy to see all of my classmates

come back.

Because of the Spring Festival, everyone seems happy and some of them

become a little bit fatter. During the break, we talk happily to each other.

We share the happy and interesting things during the winter holiday.

Most of us stayed at home to celebrate the New Year. And some of us went to

travel with their families. In short, all of us had a happy winter holiday.

“此生此夜不长好，明月明年何处看。”这首诗出自苏轼的《中秋月》，顾名思义是讲中秋节的。

不知不觉，今年的中秋节又到了，在这个假期里我又感受到了浓浓的中秋氛围。超市里人山人海，可热闹了，不过最热闹的还要数月饼专区了，各式各样的月饼陈列在人们的眼前，任其挑选，大的小的，形状不一;豆沙味、蛋黄味，各种口味的都有。街道两旁的小商店也在搞着促销活动，引得路人都不禁想走上去瞧一瞧，看一看。社区工作人员也在忙着塔台，为晚上的中秋晚会早早地做好准备，相信这场晚会一定会很精彩。

中秋节是我国传统节日，它象征着团圆。今年的中秋节，我表弟一家也特地从遥远的外地赶来和我们一起共度佳节。中秋节当然少不了吃月饼，随着外婆一声“吃月饼喽……”，只见外婆捧着一大盘月饼，一个个地分给我们。我细细地尝了一口，那浓浓的香气便挥之不去，看着大家一脸幸福的样子，再看看盘子里剩下的月饼，我恍然大悟，原来是这个东西凝聚了我们一家人的幸福和甜蜜啊!在明月的照射下，欢声笑语洋溢其中。月光洒向大地，点点星光虽然璀璨，但远不及月饼带给我们的独特的美。

晚饭过后，我们又一起到江边玩耍赏月，中秋的月最明，是那样的诗情画意;中秋的月最柔，是那样的柔情似水;中秋的月最亮，是那样的如水似镜。我们一排坐在江边的长椅上，聊着天，说着笑，气氛非常融洽，不知不觉地，月亮被雾遮挡住了，余下了建筑的光芒……

我爱中秋节，我爱吃月饼的中秋节，我爱家人团聚的中秋节!

My dream is to study abroad in the future. I am always that kind of life can come true soon. But, before I realize my dream, I have to do some preparation. I think the most important thing I need to do first is to adapt the life there.

It is said that there is a big difference between the eastern and western culture.

If I know nothing, it is easy for me to have culture conflict. It will put me into an embarrass place. For example, dragon is the leader for all animals and it has holy good meaning in china. But it means violence in the western country.

I need to learn as much the cultural conflicts as possible to make my oversea life become easier.

我的梦想是以后可以去留学。我总是希望那样的生活能早日成真。但是，在实现梦想之前，我得做一些准备工作。我想我首先需要做的是适应那里的生活。据说东西方文化是有差异的。如果我什么都不知道，很容易发生文化冲突。这会置我于一个尴尬的地方。例如，龙是在中国是万兽之王，有着无比神圣的意义。但是在西方国家则是暴力的象征。我要尽量了解的文化冲突，这样我的留学生活才会变得更简单。

电子面板上的日历又新翻了一页，又是久违的中秋节。和哥哥坐在飞船控制室中，给远在天边的父母打去电话，这感觉熟悉又陌生。哥哥朝我会心一笑，勾起了我过往的回忆…… The calendar on the electronic panel has a new page, which is the long -lost Mid -Autumn Festival.Sitting with my brother in the spacecraft control room and calling the parents far from the sky, I feel familiar and unfamiliar.My brother smiled at me and evoked my past memories ...

那是2020年的中秋节，尽管人类的居所已遍布到星系各处，古老的传统始终未被打破。学校已经放假，同学们也各奔东西回到家中。而我的父母则在星系之外执行任务，几年来，我和哥哥都未曾等到父母回家。

我盘坐在船头，看群星闪烁，尽管身处茫茫宇宙，它们却一点都不孤独，我叹了口气。哥哥走来轻声说：“我们去地球看看吧，看看月亮。”他眼中依旧平静如水，我却早已迫不及待的起身，调出了控制面板，开始向地球进发。

地上一片寂静与荒凉，原来这就是地球，我失望地摇摇头。人类的战争和过度开发，终是让地球逝去了，如儿弑母般残忍。

抬头，便是那轮明月。即便地球已不复往昔生机，它也依旧将光芒从太阳手中撒给大地。月光有些清冷，但更多的是一缕化不开的哀伤。哥哥吟起一首古诗：“举头望明月，低头思故乡。”我突然想起了儿时父母带我们在星系中旅行，故乡只是飞船。原来这是诗中思念的故乡，更多的应是指那远方的亲人。

眼角不觉淌出泪来，看向哥哥，他早已泪如雨下、泣不成声。他是自小喜怒都不形于色的人，而在对亲人的思念之情上，他与我都无法抑制。

飞船上走下两人，是父母的全息影像。在我早已冻僵的心中，传来丝丝暖意：父母曾说要来与我们团聚，虽然是以这种方式，却未曾失约。

母亲拭去我们的泪水，一家人坐在干涸的土地上，父亲讲起了中秋的故事。虽早已耳熟能详，但此时，我却更能体会到故事中“团圆”一词的含义。沐浴在月光中，我感到的是欣喜、感动和幸福……

“看，父母正朝我们挥手!”哥哥叫醒了我。我兴奋地和父母谈起了学校生活、谈课外的工作、谈2020年那中秋之夜的意外团聚。

地球之上，明月仍在闪耀;星系之中，游子却已不再孤独。漫漫太空中，一艘飞船灯火通明，让人有种家的感觉，一种团圆的感觉。

团圆的意味，其实很简单。能和家人聊聊天，一起回忆往事，这种幸福，正是千百年来人们期盼的团圆

Our new English teacher is Mr. Smith. He wears a pair of thick glasses. He is very serious and strict to us. I never saw him smile until the Teachers’ Day. On the Teachers’ Day, my classmates and I planned to give him a special gift——a smile. So the naughty John pretended to have passed out in the classroom. When Mr. Smith came in, he was so scared that he held John in his arms right away. On the way to the hospital, John burst into laughter suddenly, which made the teacher confused. After we told him that it was only a joke, Mr. Smith laughed too. We were all pleased to see him smiling at last.

今天是中秋节，每年的中秋赏月对我来说也是一件特别有趣的事情。

这天晚上，我静静的坐在窗前，看着月亮缓缓的升起，比起以前明亮的挂在天空的月亮，今天的月亮不知道为什么格外的羞涩，她悄悄的躲在云层里，探出来一点点，观察着这个世界，仿佛只要有人看到了她，她就会躲回去云层里面。我悄悄的往后面移动了一点点，月亮像是确定了没人看她一样，终于从云层里面探出了一半的身姿。

这时，风来了，静静的吹着，树影摇曳。风抚摸着树影，越过山丘，来到月亮身旁，像是在做游戏一般，吹散云层，慢慢的把月亮的整个身姿露了出来，“哇，好美啊”。我感叹着。却见空中的月亮仿佛听见我的低语一般你，又轻轻的躲在云层后面。天空暗淡了，隐隐约约出现了几颗星星，我想月明星稀也是有理的。

看着月亮躲在云层后面，不禁想着，“月亮啊月亮，今天是中秋节，你不想来陪我们一起度过这个中秋吗?”月亮仿佛是听到了我的心声，又悄悄的探出了她的身姿，我望着月亮，沐浴着月光，默默的祈祷：明年的中秋我还是会希望这美丽的月色能陪我一起过中秋。

我们家今年过了一个快乐的中秋节，因为是过节，所以家里做了很多好吃的，晚上我上完特长班回到家里，一股香味扑面而来，桌子上有各种各样的食物，有鲜红色的大苹果，有我最喜欢吃的水果沙拉，有紫莹莹的大葡萄，还有黄橙橙的大鸭梨。我最喜欢的各种各样的月饼，今年还有来自郑州的大闸蟹，真是太丰富了!我口水流了三尺，迫不及待的大吃起来。

我们走出家门，一轮圆圆的月亮高高挂在天上，好像刚出锅的大月饼，过了一会儿，月亮变成了银白色，斜挂在天空，笑盈盈的挥洒着淡淡的银光。那圆月清凉而温柔，把一些软光儿轻轻送到柳枝上。小区有点风，风里带着温柔、芳香……妹妹笑着说：“这月亮像咱家盛菜的盘子呀!”我突然想起一首诗句：“小时不时月，呼做白玉盘。”全家人哈哈大笑起来!

这真是一个快乐的中秋啊!

Whenever I remember my grade school days, I tend to be wistful over. Though no more are those days, I will never forget now wonderful they were. I was efree in my school days and all the year round I lived happily. I was not a hardworking pupil. Every day I directed my attention not to study but to how to out to how to cut classes and class leader as I was. I did not act like one; instead, I even encouraged others to cut classes, too. of course. I was caught out and severely punished. Often in preparing for a test we pupils would work together to devise ways of cheating in the test room. Though I was poor at cheating in any test. I never gave up but would again and again, hoping t way I would get high marks. With the passage of time I have gradually cast off those bad habits I once had always feel embarrassed each time I think of my foolish behavior in 1the past, I owe what I am to all my teachers. Conscientious instruction. Had it not been for them, I would not be a useful member of society as I am today, My grade school days not only added to my experience as a boy but give me now something lasting to remember by. How I wish the past days could come back, for in retrospect they were so wonderful.

After a happy winter vacation, the new year began again. We all gathered together and talked happily about the interesting news in the winter vacation.

All of us have fun and laugh. We cant forget the good time of the new year. New years Eve, as usual, fireworks day, we also say that all sorts of gossip to play their own fireworks, a long pole fireworks blooming like chrysanthemum, such as bright pearl of a large fireworks, little and dainty broken beads...... Jiang Zehong is talking about, he has never seen everyone "Fu" big fireworks, called "big fortune". The "Pi" with a bang, a fireball into the sky, "Mao Ba Ba" fried into a big red shining "Fu". After a while, the word "happiness" has become a meteor, dancing posture, he slipped to the door, just like a large fortune, the dog wangwang! Lets listen to the itch in our heart, and we want to have a look.

On the eve of the new years Eve, for the year, there must be little money. Wang Yi people engage in innovation, the red gifts are hidden. Wang Yi had to turn the house down to the sky and search one by one, not a small corner. Pays off, Wang Yi people find their red envelopes gift in the kitchen, balcony, room finally.

Li Yan is also very love her mother-in-law, not only sensible and well behaved, and flattering, before leaving, dont forget to wish small mother-in-law: "good luck, longevity, happiness as immense as the Eastern Sea, everything is well, the dog wangwang!"

The breath of the country is thicker than the city. When Zou Jianing burned incense in a country temple, he was lucky to see a lion and a dragon. I saw the lion majestic-looking, yaotouhuangnao, vivid, it stared at the headlight gun like eyes, went to the east to the West in the jump, is pleased to run wild. I do not know what time from the lions sprang out of a dragon, it was glittering, restless dragon flying up and down, the two. With the sound of drums, dragon and lion gradually walked away. But its fresh enough for the children we grew up in the city.

There are many interesting things during the winter vacation, Li Tian heap a snowman full of personality. Huang Yuanhao put a big kite of one meter long. Zhu Zhendong fished the fish patiently. Yao Qing made a new house at his uncles house. Jiang Danwen wanted to dig the shepherds purse, dug a basket of wild herbs...... The happy winter vacation is over. It is sure that this summer vacation will have more interesting things to happen.

度过一个愉快的寒假，新年又开始了。大家又都聚在一起，兴致勃勃地谈论起寒假生活中的趣闻。

大家津津乐道，有说有笑，对过年的美好时光久久不能忘怀。除夕夜，照例是放烟花爆竹的日子，大家也七嘴八舌地说出了那天自己玩的烟花，有绽开似菊的长竿烟花，灿烂如明珠般的大礼花，小巧玲珑的碎珠……姜泽宏更是侃侃而谈，原来他放了个大家从未见过的“福”字大礼花，叫“大福临门”。那随着“噼叭”一声巨响，一团火球窜上了与天空，“噼哩叭啦”地炸成了一个大红色的闪耀着金光的“福”字。过一会儿，这个“福”字又变成了一颗颗流星，舞动着身姿，向他家门口滑落，还真像大福临门，狗年旺旺！听得我们心里直痒痒，也想放个看看。

过除夕，拜大年，肯定少不了压岁钱。王苡人家搞了个创新，把红包礼物都藏了起来。王苡人只好把家里翻个底朝天，逐一逐个地搜寻，不放过一个小角落。皇天不负有心人，王苡人终于在厨房、阳台、书房里找到了自己的红包礼物。李燕的小婆婆最疼爱李燕了，压岁盘里的东西随便挑，给她的压岁钱也最多。李燕也很喜欢她的小婆婆，不仅懂事乖巧，而且讨人欢心，临走时，还不忘祝小婆婆：“福如东海，寿比南山，吉祥如意，万事顺心，狗年旺旺！”

乡村的过年气息比城市还浓。邹佳凝在乡下的寺庙里烧香时，有幸看见了舞狮、舞龙的人群。只见那狮子威风凛凛、摇头晃脑、活灵活现，它瞪着大灯炮似眼睛，窜到东跳到西，犹如在高兴地撒野。不知从什么时候狮群里窜出了一条龙，它浑身金光闪闪，好动的龙上下翻飞，来了个二龙戏珠。随着敲锣打鼓的声音，龙与狮群渐渐走远了。不过，这对我们在城市里长大的孩子来说是够新鲜的。

寒假里还有许多有趣的事，李恬堆了个个性十足的雪人。黄苑皓放了个一米多长的燕形大风筝。朱振栋耐心地钓了次鱼。姚庆在舅舅家闹新房。姜丹雯本想挖荠菜，结果挖了一蓝子的野菜……愉快的寒假结束了，想必今年的暑假也一定会有更有趣的事发生吧！

今天我和家人度过了一个既难忘又开心的中秋之夜。

吃过晚饭，妈妈，爸爸和我一起到广场上去看烟花和月亮。到了广场，人可真多啊，大家抬头仰望着天空。突然，天上“啪”地一声，礼花像流星一样出现了。红的，蓝的，紫的……五彩缤纷，万紫千红。“哇！”真好看啊！人山人海中叫好声一片连一片，使人忘记了白天的疲劳和夜晚的寒冷。今晚烟花连续绽放了近30分钟，烟花一会儿如天女散花，一会儿又有繁花似锦的“菊花”布满夜空，一会儿晶莹透亮的“星星”向你扑来，一会儿又见“五彩蘑菇云”向上升腾……

我相信每个人都看见过月亮，但中秋的月亮更圆更亲切，像一个可爱的小娃娃。

今晚的月亮真美啊！月亮圆圆的脸，像极了我可爱的小弟弟。月亮看见很多人看她，像小娃娃一样害羞地把身子慢慢地藏到云妈妈身后。云妈妈看见了，说：“不要害羞，你出去玩一下吧，还有好多小朋友在望着你等着你。”月亮娃娃经过云妈妈的再三劝说，终于一点一点地从云妈妈身后探出头来，露出欢喜的笑脸，那么天真，那么可爱。我们又欢呼起来！谁知，在我们的欢呼声中，月亮娃娃又害羞了，半边脸儿露出来，半边脸儿又隐藏在云妈妈身后。

我焦急地望啊望，盼啊盼……过了很久很久，已是深夜了，奇怪的是月亮还像娃娃一样害羞，躲在云妈妈身后不肯出来呢！

又过了一会儿，微风吹来，云妈妈移了移身子。终于，月亮娃娃勇敢地望着我们，完全露出了她那胖乎乎、圆都都、笑眯眯的脸蛋儿。月亮娃娃散步在深蓝深蓝的夜空，给赏月的人们带来了光明、憧憬、欢乐……

这轮明月照亮了漆黑的世界。树啊，河流啊，房子啊，全裹在一层银色的、薄薄的轻纱中，皎洁的月光如倾泄的清流，注满大地。

中秋节真快乐呀！月亮真圆，烟花真美。她们使中秋节变得更美了！

Today，pollution has become a serious problem to us. It means that the air，seas，rivers and land are polluted by waste or poisonous things.

It does harm not only to human beings but also to animals .

We cannot have fresh air because many factories have the poisonous smoke sent into the air. Beautiful parks are made dirty by plastic tins and bags.

Fish die from the polluted water. It is said that strange diseases have appeared in some places because of pollution.

I hope scientists can find ways to solve the serious problem.

We are looking forward to seeing the clear sky，clean rivers and beautiful parks again.

Dear

Editor,

Recently

graffiti has become more noticeable in my college. I feel quite annoyed at them,

especially when some of my classmates praise them as a kind of so-called art.

Confronted with this impolite phenomenon, I cant help asking myself: what is

wrong with todays teenagers?

In

my opinion, graffiti is a form of vandalism. They are a mess and are ugly to

look at. Meanwhile, walls are public places, and they should not be used to

express personal views and feelings.

I

really think vandalism should be stopped, and those who refuse to stop this bad

practice should be punished. We should clear away these ugly expressions and

drawings so that our college may return to its true self--a clean, quiet place

for study, teaching and research.

Yours,

Li

Ming
