Subject: Application for annual leave

Dear Mr. Smith，

I would like to apply for an annual leave from January 25th to 31st.

As you may know the Spring Festival is falling on February 1st this year. Its the most important holiday in China and offers the best occasion for family reunion. However, over the past 3 years I missed the reunions due to tight work schedule. Now that I have wrapped up my work for this year, I would like to go back to my hometown to pay filial piety to my parents and help my sole brother prepare his wedding on January 28th.

Its indeed double happiness for my family that I would like to be part of. Coupled with the official holidays for the Spring Festival, I will have two weeks off which will definitely gear me up for better work in the new year. Im looking forward to your kind answer.

Best regards,

George Chen

The history of the Spring Festival is very long. Legend has it that there was the custom of "Spring Festival" in the neolithic period. There is a legend about the origin of "Spring Festival" : there was an animal called nian in ancient China. "Year", the head long antenna, fierce abnormality. "Nian" lived at the bottom of the sea for a long time, and every day on a certain day (it was New Years eve), he climbed ashore and devoured livestock and killed people. Therefore, every New Years eve, the people of the village of the village of the village of the village to help young people to escape the "year" of harm.

On the New Years eve, an old beggar came from the village. Village a hurried panic scene, nobody answered him, only village east an old woman gave the old man some food, and urged him quickly up the hill avoid "year", the old man beard snatched up say with smile: "mother-in-law if let me stay overnight in the home, Ill get years away." The old woman continued to persuade, begging the old man smiling without a word.

In the middle of the night, "nian" broke into the village. It found that the atmosphere in the village was different from previous years: the wife of the village dongtou, the door was covered with red paper, the candle in the house was bright. "Nian" shuddered, a strange cry. Near the door, there was a sudden "crackling", "nian" shuddering, and dared not to move forward. Originally, "nian" was most afraid of the red, the fire and the explosion. At this time, the door of the mother-in-law opened, and a man in red robe in the hospital laughed. "Nian" paled with surprise, and fled. The next day was the first day of the first month, and people who came back to the village were surprised to see the village safe and sound. At this moment, the old woman suddenly understood, and hurried to tell the villagers the promise of begging the old man. It quickly spread around the village, and people knew how to get rid of the year.

From now on, every year on New Years eve, every house red couplet, set off firecrackers; Householder candle fire is clear, shoule to be old. Early in the early morning, I would like to walk a friend to say hello. This custom has been widely circulated, becoming the most solemn traditional festival of Chinese folk.

We can get a Chinese New Year lucky money every year,but not all the reasonable use of it.I will get a part of to my parents,the other one is by their own bank.My parents also support me to do so.

In my opinion,this is a reasonable approach.Because many peoples self-control is not good,if all the money on his own,it will quickly spend it.But if he do not have any money,and no way to buy want to buy things.Therefore,it is to help parents keep a part of the money,other part of the money to retain our hands.

If my parents deposit New Years money in the bank,Ill spend in college when it as my living expenses.

The moon has no water and no air.Because it has no atmosphere and no weather,the moon also has no life.It is covered with rocks and dust.The moon`s different shapes:new Moon crescent first quarter gibbous full MoonThere are 29.5 days from one new Moon to the next.

《In Love》

If love be love , if love be ours,

如果你我相爱，如果爱就是爱

Faith and unfaith can ne’er be equal powers;

忠诚与背信的力量天壤之别，

Unfaith in aught is want of faith in all.

点滴失信便让诚实永远欠缺。

It is the little rift within the lute,

就像琵琶上的小小纹裂，

That by and by will make the music mute,

日积月累，音色难以和谐，

And ever widening showly silence all.

当裂痕慢慢扩大，琴声终将彻底寂灭。

The little rift within the lover’s lute,

琵琶上的小小纹裂，就像爱人心中的裂纹

Or little pitted speck in garner’d fruit,

就像果实中的烂斑无法察觉，

That rotting inward slowly moulders all,

它会慢慢腐朽，并将腐蚀一切。，

It is not worth the keeping, let it go;

如无价值继续，那就断然了结，

But shall it?answer, darling, answer,no,

但是会这样吗?亲爱的，你要说不，斩金截铁，

And trust me not all or all in all.

对我，要么怀疑一切，要么相信一切。

Mr. Louis is my Chinese teacher. She was of medium height, slender, with two eyebrows on her lanky face, a pair of squinting eyes, and a pair of pink glasses on her high nose, about thirty years old. Her speech was vivid and vivid in class, her tone was cadenced and her emotions were real. People are kind and strict.

I remember that it was one of the things that happened early on, and I came to the school early in the morning and put my exercise books on the table, and I happily picked up the Chinese book and read aloud the text aloud.

After about a quarter of an hour or so, Mr. Louis walked into the classroom with a smile on his face, went up to the lectern, took out the red pen and handed the students the homework. After more than ten books, I found that the teachers face gradually changed from sunny to cloudy, and some of my classmates workbooks were taken to the stage. When it was my turn, my heart was both happy and afraid. I was glad that the teacher could see the homework I had finished. The fear is that the teacher will also take away my exercise book. Not sure enough, I saw the workbook lying on the table, trying to get it down, but it was impossible.

After class, the teacher overlooks his face and says to us, "if you want to have a workbook, please come to my office." Then he picked up the book and went away. I breathed a sigh of relief, but I was still not happy. I didnt know what was waiting for me: reprimand, criticism, praise... Oh, I dont think so.

After the second lesson, I and the students went to the teachers office and prepared to be taught. Who knows, the teacher changed the normal, kindly say: "last night go back why dont finish earnestly, ask you a few to correct the error in the workbook." Several of us took the exercise books nervously and fell on the teachers desk to correct them all. Then, let the teacher see again. Then the teacher smiled and said, "thats right. The people who read more should pay attention, the homework also cannot be careless!" We listened, and the mood was like a stone falling to the ground and running out of the office.

You say, how can such a teacher not let us like?

I like to surf the internet， fix puters， use smart phones and take photoes。

And I found my hobbies were popular with people around me。 If my co-workers have

trouble with puter or smart phone， they will ask me to help。 When I go out for a

trip， I will take many photoes for others。 Today I helped my friends nephew

install QQ messenger on his iphone4 and access to the internet through

Wi-fi。

I like to study， not to play Majiang。

Today, I want to do something for my mother, but what do you do? I thought and thought - finally, I came up with a good idea. Clean up your home before mom comes back.

After the idea was made, I started to get busy at home. I picked up the broom first and began to sweep the floor. In a moment, the floor was swept clean by me! Next, Im going to wipe the table, wet the towel first, then wring it hard, and start rubbing it back and forth on the table. After my efforts, the table was shimmered by me.

At this time, my mother came back, she saw my sweat, I knew everything, he said I was a good child!

In the second eye, 20XX slipped like a naughty child, and a new 20XX came out of my head in front of me. Ha-ha！ The new year has arrived, and I also have a new plan.

In our house, Im a good snack. In the past year, I always cant control my mouth. I always find an excuse: I am in the critical period of long body growth. It doesnt matter if I eat more. Oh! No, my height is 1.55 meters long, and I can become stronger in the transverse direction. The weight has reached 90 Jin. I have not even participated in the sports meeting. The new year, I want to hold his own small mouth, not on any delicacy all comers, to ensure their own health conditions, more exercise, long stature, less horizontal development.

I think there is a bad habit of writing homework. Its too close to posture. Because my eyes cant bear it. I also become a "four eye family". The doctor told me that I still have a low degree now, it is false myopia, if it is correct posture, pay attention to eye use, or can remove glasses. Oh, good hope, I want to get rid of the bad habit of sitting in the new year, glasses, you wait, I will soon be with you to worship.

My family is about half an hours walk from the school. Before, my mother was not at ease, and I was afraid of wasting time. She was transported by battery car to me, which was neither electricity nor environmental protection. In the new year, Im going to school they go, because this section of the road to school early are familiar with the road, and also met with my classmates, not what to fear; and I do a lot of small cards at home, write English words, can walk in the back, time will not be waste. Mother saw my plan, which was both green and healthy, and nod agreed.

New years new year plan, new years new hope, refueling!

I have heard a beautiful poetry, written by a novelist, Amy Cheung. With a

little adjustment, it can vividly depict the alienation among people in reality

- "The further distance in the world is not between life and death. But when I

stand in front of you, your eyes turn to your smartphone; don’t know that I love

you."

The smartphone has been gaining a great popularity, becoming a toxic

compulsion. It has invaded our lives and occupied all our interstitial time. It

is so commonly seen that the smartphone addicts attend to their phone, ignoring

everything. Even meeting with friends, they often pull out the phone in order to

take a photo, check a message or even play with a game. Seeming connected with

the whole world, they have actually fiddled the conversation and done harm to

the relationship.

It is high time that we threw away the phone and raised our heads up. Do

cherish the ones around us and appreciate the splendid scenery ahead of us.

Although every day we ate hamburgers, French fries, drink a chocolate drink, one family reunion round together, I think this is a happy life.

Mom and dad always said joy of peace, but I am very strange, it is made up of those world war?

Some time ago, a sensation in the world of the war in Iraq, I saw the Iraqi refugee camp residents on TV, where they eat, can hear the child crying every day. Look at the battlefield, many corpses lying spread all across in confusion, these soldiers land was stained with blood, and artillery bombardment of the aircraft shot down the bomb, can whenever and wherever possible sounded, oh, this is a time of peace and happiness of life?

Now TV stations are playing Taiwan every day to be independent. China is negotiating with Taiwan. I am a Chinese and have the responsibility to pay attention to national events. I think Taiwan is an inseparable part of China, even if it has not returned to the mothers embrace of the motherland, but it is the "son" of the mother of the motherland.

Television is a popular theme of Japanese television drama, I saw Chinese workers in Japan at the scene, Chinese Japanese in order to complete the project after go home, what have suffered, and hateful to Japanese after they finish the project all day I kill them, how hateful ah, I feel sad Chineses death, and pride is more Chinese firm and inflexible spirit!

I hope the world is full of peace and never have war!

It is difficult for people to achieve professional success without sacrificing important aspects of a fulfilling personal life.

Discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the opinion slated above. Support your views with reasons and/or examples from your own experience, observations, or reading.

Are professional success and a fulfilling personal life mutually exclusive? Probably not, although it is more difficult today to achieve both.

Undeniably, todays professionals must work long hours to keep their heads above water, let alone to get ahead in life financially. This is especially true in Japan, where cost of living, coupled with corporate culture, compel professional males to all but abandon their families and literally to work themselves to death. While the situation here in the states may not be as critical, the two-income family is now the norm, not by choice but by necessity.

However, our societys professionals are taking steps to remedy the problem. First, they are inventing ways such as job sharing and telecommuting to ensure that personal life does not take a back seat to career. Second, they are setting priorities and living those hours outside the workplace to their fullest. In fact, professional success usually requires the same time-management skills that are useful to find time for family, hobbies, and recreation. One need only look at the recent American presidents-Clinton, Bush, Reagan and Carter- to see that it is possible to lead a balanced life which includes time for family, hobbies, and recreation, while immersed in a busy and successful career. Third, more professionals are changing careers to ones which allow for some degree of personal fulfillment and self-actualization. Besides, many professionals truly love their work and would do it without compensation, as a hobby. For them, professional and personal fulfillments are one and the same.

The Fascinating Moonrise

There is a hill near my home that I often climb at night. The noise of the city is a far-off murmur. In the hush of dark I share the cheerfulness of crickets and the confidence of owls. But it is the drama of the moonrise that I come to see. For that restores in me a quiet and clarity that the city spends too freely.

From this hill I have watched many moons rise. Each one had its own mood. There have been broad, confident harvest moons in autumn; shy, misty moons in spring; lonely, white winter moons rising into the utter silence of an ink-black sky and smoke-smudged orange moons over the dry fields of summer. Each, like fine music, excited my heart and then calmed my soul.

But we, who live indoors, have lost contact with the moon. The glare of street lights and the dust of pollution veil the night sky. Though men have walked on the moon, it grows less familiar. Few of us can say what time the moon will rise tonight.

Still, it tugs at our minds.

If we unexpectedly encounter the full moon, huge and yellow over the horizon, we are helpless but to stare back at its commanding presence. And the moon has gifts to bestow upon those who watch.

I learned about its gifts one July evening in the mountains. My car had mysteriously stalled, and I was stranded and alone. The sun had set, and I was watching what seemed to be the bright-orange glow of a forest fire beyond a ridge to the east. Suddenly, the ridge itself seemed to burst into flame. Then, the rising moon, huge and red and grotesquely misshapen by the dust and sweat of the summer atmosphere, loomed up out of the woods. Distorted thus by the hot breath of earth, the moon seemed ill-tempered and imperfect. Dogs at nearby farmhouse barked nervously, as if this strange light had wakened evil spirits in the weeds.

But as the moon lifted off the ridge it gathered firmness and authority. Its complexion changed from red, to orange, to gold, to impassive yellow. It seemed to draw light out of the darkening earth, for as it rose, the hills and valleys below grew dimmer. By the time the moon stood clear of the horizon, full-chested and round and of the colour of ivory, the valleys were deep shadows in the landscape. The dogs, reassured that this was the familiar moon, stopped barking. And all at once I felt a confidence and joy close to laughter.

The drama took an hour. Moonrise is slow and serried with subtleties. To watch it, we must slip into an older, more patient sense of time.

To watch the moon move inflexibly higher is to find an unusual stillness within ourselves. Our imaginations become aware of the vast distance of space, the immensity of the earth and the huge improbability of our own existence. We feel small but privileged.

Moonlight shows us none of life’s harder edges. Hillsides seem silken and silvery, the oceans still and blue in its light. In moonlight we become less calculating, more drawn to our feelings.

月升魅无穷

在我家的附近有座小山， 我常在晚间爬上山去。此时，城市的喧嚣成了遥远的低语。在这黑夜的静谧中，我尽情地分享蟋蟀的欢乐，感受猫头鹰的自信。不过，我上山是来看月出的，因为这可以让我的内心重新感到被城市消耗殆尽的平静与清新。

在这座山上，我欣赏过许多次月亮升起的景象。每一次月的姿容性情都不同。秋天，满月如轮，充满自信;春天，月亮清雾迷蒙羞羞答答;冬天，银白色的月亮挂在漆黑的、悄无声息的夜空中，显得那样孤寂;夏天，桔*的月似被烟尘笼罩，俯瞰干燥的田野。每一种月亮，都像美妙的音乐，颤动我的心灵，令我的灵魂平静。

但我们这些深居室内的人，已与月亮失去了联系。城市中耀眼的街灯和污染性烟尘遮住了夜空。虽然人类已在月亮上行走过，但月亮对我们却更加陌生了。现在已很少有人能说出今晚月亮何时升起。

但无论怎样，月亮依然打动我们的心灵。

如果我们偶然遇见一轮黄灿灿的满月高高挂在空中， 我们都会禁不住抬头凝望她那高贵的仪容。而月亮会向那些注视她的人赐予厚礼。

我得到她的厚礼是在山间七月的一个夜晚。我的车突然无缘无故地熄了火，将我孤身一人困在山中，束手无策。太阳已经落山，我注视着东边山头涌起的一团桔红色的明光，好像森林起火一般。突然，山头自己也似乎燃起火焰，一会儿，一轮又大又红的月亮从树林中慢慢现出身来，夏天空气中弥漫的灰尘与湿气令它显得异常怪异。大地灼热的呼吸扭曲了它，它变得非常暴躁，不再完美。附近农舍的狗紧张地狂吠起来，因为这团奇怪的光亮叫醒了野草中的魔鬼。

然而当月亮缓缓从山头升起，它聚集了越来越多的坚定与威严;它的面孔由红色变成了桔红，又变成金色，最后成为沉静的*。它似乎吸收了正在渐渐转暗的大地的光亮，因为随着它的升起，下面的丘陵山谷变得愈来愈朦胧。等到皓月当空，满月如盘，闪烁出象牙般的清辉，山谷便成了风景中一片幽深的阴影。那些狗明白了那团光原来是他们熟悉的月亮，也安定下来，停止了吠叫。霎时间，我也觉得信心倍增，心情舒畅，几乎笑了起来。

这奇特的景观持续了一个小时。月出是缓慢而充满神奇的。观看月出，我们必须回到一种古老的、耐心的时间观念中去。观看月亮不可阻挡地升上天空，会让我们找到内心的无比安宁，我们的想象力能让我们看到宇宙的辽阔和大地的广袤，能让我们忘掉自己的存在。我们觉得自身渺小，但又深感大自然的厚待。

月色下，我们看不到生活中坚硬的棱角。山坡在月光下如同笼上了一层柔和的银纱;大海在月光下宁静碧蓝;我们在月光下也不再像白日那般心计来往，而是沉醉于自然的情感中。

In winter, the children play in the snow, some snowman, some have a snowball, snowball fights, play happy.

The roof was stained with white paint, the tree was covered with white clothes, and the ground was covered with white carpet, everywhere white.

In the evening, the moon sister for the sun father-in-law succession, the street lights lit, and is a beautiful scenery. The roof, the trees and the ground became yellow. At 8, the children went home, and they all thought to themselves, "its a great day!"!

The scenery is so beautiful in winter, if you dont believe it, please go and have a look!
