Dear Maria,

Im very happy that you are interested in Chinese culture,especially the festivals.Now let me tell you something about the Dragon Boat Festival.The Dragon Boat Festival,also called the Duanwu Festival ,is celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth month according to the Chinese calendar.People always eat rice dumplings and watch dragon boat races to celebrate it.

The festival is best known for its dragon-boat races,especially in the southern places where there are many rivers and lakes. It’s very popular.

The rice dumpling is made of glutinous rice,meat and so on. You can eat different kinds of rice dumplings.They are very delicious.

And Dragon Boat Festival is for Qu Yuan. He is an honest minister who is said to have committed suicide by drowning himself in a river.

Overall, the Dragon Boat Festival is very interesting!

Your friend

The Great Wall runs across North China like a huge dragon, It winds its way

from west to east, across deserts, over mountains, through valleys till at last

it reaches the sea. Its the longest wall on the earth, also one of the wonders

in the world.The Great Wall has a history of more than 2000 years. The first part was

built during the Spring and Autumn Period.

All the walls were joined up in Qin Dynasty.All tile work was done by

hand.Thousands of people died while building the wall.Thus the Great Wall came

into existence.Since then, it has been rebuilt and repaired many times.

Now the Great Wall,the admiration of the world, has taken on a new look.

Its visited by large numbers of people from all parts of the country and the

world.

Now, the new semester has begun for more than one week. I gradually adapt

to my new life in senior school. In senior school, my biggest feeling is busy,

for I have classes all the day and teachers leave us a lot of homework. In the

morning, I have two periods for morning reading, Chinese and English, beginning

from 7:00. After that, I have four periods in the morning and four other in the

afternoon. There are many more subjects than in middle school, Chinese, math,

English, physics, chemistry, history and so on. Sometimes, I am afraid of seeing

so many textbooks in my desk. In addition, the contents are much more difficult

than before. Math and physics are the most difficult ones for me. No matter how

hard I work, I still can’t do well in them, which makes me frustrated.

Therefore, in the new beginning, I must change my learning strategies to make my

work more effective. All in all, my new life in new school is good and rich,

though it’s busy.

Should students go on further study or find a job after leaving high

school?

Time spent in campus is not always treated with gracious look, but some

parents may choose other ways for the longevity of their childrens

post-high-school period, namely, find the adolescents a job, rather than sending

them to a college. I can find myself against this act for a thousand reasons,

amongst which we can figure some strongest ones as follows:

My first con against this behavior is that education is not just a benefit

but also ones rights. Without education , as Gorge Orwell had once said ,is to

be deprived of the most precious privilege in our time as a modern man. With

college education , youngsters can choose a better way of doing thing correctly

and more efficiently. The sharp contrast between those who have received well

education and those without is not just financially, but more vitally,

spiritually.

Admittedly, we can find cases of some one achieves without college

education, but these cases are famous only because they are rare. Those people

who succeed with a college degree are so many that this would seem to be a must

and a natural part of elites. The absence of university education is hard to

imagine in our days. The prospect of those juvenile workers or businessmen would

be even dimmer than ever before .For in our age, knowledge is not only the

power, but also the know-how to solving problems and gaining a much larger

fortune.

There is an old Chinese saying: Top students come from strict teachers.

Perhaps affected by this saying for a long time, we believe it right. However,

as time flies, lots of things have changed. Therefore, I am eager to discuss

what relation is the best between teachers and students.A teacher can treat a

student in two ways .One is strict, and the other is friendly. Most teachers

prefer the first way.To start with, we certainly have to admit that strictness

is very effective, especially to the naughty pupils.

As pupils we aren’t able to control ourselves well or fix our attention on

one thing for a long time. We do most things because they are interesting or we

feel like doing. We are always looking out of the window in class. Sometimes, we

get to play games and forget our homework. On this occasion, strictness is a

must. It not only forces us to do the right thing, but also helps us develop a

good learning habit, which is of great importance during our whole life .In

other words, it is the first step to success.Still, everything has two sides.

Its weak points are very obvious. You see, there’re top students in a class,

where average students make up the majority. Then teachers’ orders or

suggestions are for the majority, not for top students. However, top students

always have their own study plans and prefer special homework, so orders usually

won’t take great effect on them.

Maybe you have thought out that teachers can give orders only to the

majority and set some freedom to top students. However, it’s impossible .For a

whole class, teachers couldn’t give order to part of the class, for the majority

would question why they needn’t do such work, but we need? It would be probable

that they think teachers treat them not equally, and will not obey teachers’

orders any more. This is a difficulty for teachers.It also has another

disadvantage——the communication problem .Since teachers are strict, we never

tell teachers our personal affairs or secrets. Mostly we just tell them to our

friends, but as students too, they couldn’t help to solve our problem, such as

puppy love, communication problems or study problems .Not being solved

completely, they always disturb us, influencing our daily life and study. I’m

sure that you think that making friends with teachers can solve the problem, and

you are eager to do so as well. But if we do so, new problems will come out .You

see, an adult couldnt control himself well at times, let alone us students.

However if teachers are our friends, I doubt whether their orders will take

effect any more .You see, have we ever treated our friends’ orders as orders? We

think they’re only jokes. This is another difficulty for teachers.Additionally,

our parents have the same problem. Yes, we need to be friends, but not complete

friends. We need to keep a certain distance, making us communicate well and

willing to take your orders. I remember a story.One day, a lady had her rest

room decorated. And a skilled worker was bricking up the wall. Seeing large

cracks between the bricks, she questioned why. The worker told her after this

summer, the bricks would become bigger, and those cracks would disappear.That is

not only decoration, but also communication. The principle is the same.

Today is the annual traditional festival in China, "Spring Festival". The morning sun was still in bed, I was like the sound of firecrackers to wake up. I get up and wash, this is my brother and sister have been wearing new clothes neat and I go to visit my grandparents and grandparents give us pay New Years call, each made a big red, I opened the door to stay, which contained a $100 bill, I like to eat honey, happy the flowers.

After eating dumplings, my mother said that I dont have to write my homework today. I can play a day with my brother and sister. I am very happy after I hear it.

The Spring Festival is the most important festival in China. On this day, every family has to eat dumplings, set off firecrackers, put up couplets and hang lanterns, which is the happiest and happiest day of the year.

Nowadays,there is a increasing number for people to join in the activities

of volunteering.Its well-known that volunteering job is making contribution to

the society with nothing in return.Its like the Leifeng spirit.However,knowing

this,there are still many people would like to devote themseves in this

trend.For instance,the 20__ Beijing Olympic Games has so many volunteers.They

made lots of contribution to the success of opening the Olympics.Moreover,we can

often see that there many students go to geroium to visit the old to bring warm

to the lonely people.Even there are some peoples career is volunteer.They are

ready to help others.Although the volunteers are much more mon,we still need to

thanks them to admire them devoting themseves to the society.

如今，有越来越多的人加入到志愿服务行业。众所周知，志愿者工作是对社会的无私贡献。就像雷锋精神一样。然而，虽然意识到这一点但还是有很多人愿意奉献于这个行业。例如，20__年北京奥运会有这么多的志愿者。他们为奥运会的成功举行做了很多的贡献。此外，我们经常能够看到，有很多学生去敬老院看望老人给他们带去温暖。甚至有些人的职业就是志愿者。他们时刻准备好去帮忙别人。虽然志愿者是越来越常见了，但我们仍然要感谢他们钦佩他们为社会奉献自我。

今天，我以一个志愿者的身份来到了乡下，到了陈爷爷家。

陈爷爷家房子不大，走进门，映入眼前的却是，阴暗狭窄的大堂，我敲了敲门，礼貌地问了一句：“陈爷爷在家吗?”

一个房间里走出来一位老奶奶,她热情地招待我，问我：“小朋友，你是谁，是来干什么的?”“我是志愿者，来帮助陈爷爷的。”“哦，陈爷爷在那个小房间里呢!”说着，她便向一个小房间指去。

我向奶奶指的地方走去，看见的却是在厨房忙东忙西的陈爷爷，我叫了一声：“陈爷爷。”陈爷爷回过头笑咪咪到看了我一眼，我发现陈爷爷既是一个残疾人，真是不可思议，赶紧走上前说：“陈爷爷，你歇会吧!我来帮你吧!”“小朋友你真懂事，谢谢，不过我的身子还硬朗的很。”看着，我真为陈爷爷心痛。

我趁陈爷爷在厨房里，我拿起拖把、扫把、撮箕，开始打扫卫生，爷爷看见直夸我棒。

我从这次志愿者活动中感受到了，人不管贫穷富贵，不管健康，还是残疾，只要帮助别人，自己会快乐，别人也会快乐。帮助别人就在一念之间，说起来容易，做起来有点难，要有帮助别人的勇气和力量,要有坚韧不拔的毅力，持之以恒的决心，才能真正做好一个合格的志愿者!

Today, I came to the countryside as a volunteer and went to Grandpa Chens

house.

Grandpa Chens house is not big. When I walked in the door, I saw a dark

and narrow lobby. I knocked on the door and asked politely, "Is Grandpa Chen at

home?"

An old grandmother came out of a room. She greeted me warmly and asked me:

"Little boy, who are you and what are you doing here?" "I am a volunteer to help

Grandpa Chen." "Oh, Grandpa Chen is here. In that small room!" As she spoke, she

pointed to a small room.

I walked to the place where my grandmother pointed, but what I saw was

Grandpa Chen busy in the kitchen, I called out, "Grandpa Chen." Grandpa Chen

turned around and smiled and glanced at me, I found Grandpa Chen As a disabled

person, it was incredible, so he quickly stepped forward and said, "Grandpa

Chen, take a break! Ill help you!" "Youre so sensible, my little one, thank

you, but my body is still very strong." , I am really heartbroken for Grandpa

Chen.

When Grandpa Chen was in the kitchen, I picked up the mop, broom, and

dustpan and started cleaning. Grandpa saw that I was great.

I have felt from this volunteer activity that no matter whether people are

poor or rich, healthy or disabled, as long as they help others, they will be

happy and others will be happy too. Helping others is just a thought. Its

easier said than done. It takes courage and strength to help others,

perseverance and perseverance to be a truly qualified volunteer!

现在的手机，无论是“苹果”还是“三星”，都变得越来越先进了，功能也变得越来越多了。于是，手机也逐渐成了人们生活中不可或缺的东西。

小心!你的手机是害你的杀手!

这不是危言耸听!为什么说手机是害你的杀手?这个杀手会在不经意间慢慢地“杀死”你，无论是从精神上还是在肉体上。

它是思想的杀手。现如今手机的容量变得越来越大，它纵使你无休止地下载游戏，精美的高分辨率画面吸引你玩游戏，使你更加沉迷于游戏乐趣之中。瘾，悄无声息地来了。这个瘾会一点点地侵蚀你的思想。直到有一天，你猛然放下手机，发现自己除了精通手机之外其它就一无所知了。

它也是亲情的杀手。一老头在家庭聚会的餐桌上，因自己的孙子孙女以及众人都拿着个手机，正如痴如醉地捧着，无人与他说话。顿时，怒摔盘子，愤然离去。这种事情大家也应该有所略闻吧?你有没有这种情况?当然，我不知道。如果有，这时，杀手已经锁定了你。直到有一天，你猛然放下手机，发现你的亲人对你面露厌恶，或已离你而去，那你可就无法挽回了。

它更是生命的杀手。无数人捧着手机，“奋不顾身”地横穿马路，丝毫不顾及疾驰而来的汽车，他们也因此会付出代价，甚至命丧黄泉。“驾车时不得打电话”这条法律条例大家都应该是众所周知的。既使是接听电话都是被禁止的，那更不要说拿出手机玩上一玩。你有没有在马路上掏出过手机?如果你存在这种情况，杀手的枪口已经对准你了。直到有一天，你猛地抬头，突然发觉自己正处在马路中间，一辆重卡正向你冲过来，这时，你立马用手中的手机挥动来引起司机注意，可没承想司机也捧着个手机，嘭……

朋友，你不可能让这潜伏在你身边的杀手放下“屠刀”，但你可以选择远离它，不要让你的手机把瞄准的目标锁定你。朋友，听我一句，它真的是杀手!

在我刚接触网络时，进入的却是娱乐圈。和同学玩游戏、聊天真是“精彩”，却不知这精彩后面耗费了多少珍贵时间、精力。我也想学习，但面对浩瀚如海的网站，我不知所措，转来转去就是那几个娱乐网站。

当然，我不愿在这小小的、无聊的娱乐圈里转，于是我找了一些网址，决定寻找网络的另一部分……

“ Google”、“百度”这些搜索网站早已如雷贯耳了，于是我从这里下手。当我充满欢乐的在搜索栏中输入“学习”，再轻轻按下回车键后，一大片结果出来了。我想：这回我可以用网络学习了吧。可当我打开这些网站时，一大堆广告，一大堆无用的信息，充斥着整个页面，而如何学习却一点也不知道，根本不是我需要的。我有些灰心失望，难道人人称赞的网络就这些乱七八糟的学习资料吗？ 我又退回“精彩”的娱乐圈，那些游戏网站可真好找啊！终于，在一个论坛中，我看到有人推荐66站“小荷66”。我随即高兴得打开，毕竟我心中学习的心思没有灭掉。来到小荷66后，也许当时我还不太懂怎么操作，上网没有经验。看着什么点什么，什么都想看，却什么都看不懂（我看着不是我看得懂文章）。得知注册后便可发表文章，便随便注册的了一个账号，急忙把存在电脑上的文章发表，充满信心地等待有人赞扬我的“大作”。可过了很久，我那几片文章还在投稿箱里睡大觉，没人看，没得分，更没人点评。我气急败坏的把那些文章删除，愤怒地离开了小荷66。突出娱乐圈又一次失败。

后来，我对网上学习没多大兴趣，而是对精彩的软件世界找了迷。这是我的一个舅舅和一个同学吸引我的。他们经常和我谈论到电脑，当然少不了介绍他们利用软件得到的成果，于是我对软件感兴趣了。文字处理软件，杀毒软件，网页制作软件，系统优化软件……大都从网上下，于是我从网上得到了许多上网知识，懂得躲开那些坏网站了。而那些软件也让我得到了许多电脑知识，给我以后如何使用学习资料奠定基础。应该说软件世界很精彩，但就在此时期，我也结识了不少学习软件，如“金山词霸”，“英语步步高”通过这些软件推荐的网站，我又想在一次寻找心目中的精彩网络。

这时我要参加数学竞赛，便从网络试着找资料。此时有一定上网经验的我很快找到了“”，并且，我通过友情连接发现了一大批的站，我就如窜进宝库的强盗，这时却不知选哪件宝物了。一阵欢喜地搜寻后我得到了许多试卷、讲解，让同学惊讶得问我怎么得到资料的，我说：“网上多的是！”

尝到甜头的我继续搜寻，各种站也相继浮出水面，收藏夹里的站都挤满了。我可以通过“我爱e书”得到大量的电子书，如《骆驼祥子》、《老人与海》、《冰心文集》，精美的页面让我沉醉于其中，方便地操作也让我不再哗啦哗啦的翻书，随便几点，便可免费得到，真是得来全不费工夫！我可以用email跟同学交流了，一封长长的信、照片、资料，只要轻轻一点就可以让同学得到，无需邮费，更不怕丢失，网上最新消息、精彩的文章我也可以通过email订阅，天下大事尽展现在小小的屏幕上。我可以通过100e学英语，快捷的网络让一本一本的书籍随着“嘀嗒嘀嗒”的鼠标声来到屏幕上，电脑的优势让一句一句的英文说起话来，不仅电脑帮你听写，你也可以背给电脑听，一位难得的好老师活生生的站在屏幕上。还有令我感动的是我在百度上提出我不懂得问题，一下热心人纷纷来为我解答，让我不止如何感谢。我和几年前相遇的小荷66也重逢了，用新的眼光一看：翡翠般的页面，众多的作文如同一朵朵美丽的花朵在这个平台上尽情绽放，或歌颂感人的友谊，或述说快乐的经历，或抒发内心的感情……于是我再次发表我的文章，当然用心去写得文章人人都喜欢，看着网友的点评我感到无比的欢乐，也热情地参与对别人作文的评价。

我想，现在我应该真正的认识到了网络的价值——可以快速的与朋友联系，可以获得海量的资料，可以浏览各种信息，可以与网友讨论问题，可以轻松地学习，可以展示自己的文章……以前娱乐圈只不过是网络的一个特区而已，软件世界只不过为网络提供辅助罢了。

此时此刻，我想说：“网络真精彩！”

I have a two months summerVacation. During the holiday, I was very happy,

because I did not have to focus on my study all the time. But I still spent some

time in my study. I want to learn more in the holiday. Besides, I spent a lot of

time in playing, such as meeting friends, watching TV, searching the Internet,

playing computer games and so on. In addition, I help my mother do some house

work. I can reduce some burden of her and learn to be independent. In short, I

have a good and rich holiday.

When talk about tennis, most people’s reaction is money, because for

Chinese people, it needs a lot of money to play tennis, so only the rich people

can have the chance to be a tennis player. But now, as our country’s economy

develops fast and the globalization of tennis, playing tennis is not an

untouchable dream, everyone can have access to tennis.

Tennis match is very popular in the western country, every year, there are

a lot of tennis tour matches, ten years ago, not so many Chinese people know

about the tennis matches, but as the game become more and more popular, people

start to fall in love with tennis match. We can see that Chinese tennis players

start to show on the world stage, they have won so much honor. Li Na is the

first Asian player to win the grand slam, her great success inspires so many

Chinese players to work on the tennis career.

Tennis is the world’s third game, football and basketball rank first and

second. The globalization of the tennis will make more and more people fall in

love with tennis.

The main function of public libraries is to provide books for people to

read.In a library,there are books on different subjects,such as Chinese

history,fine art,science,English literature,and so on.There are also works fo

fiction.

The public libraries are crowded with people on weekdays as well as Sundays

because many people,especially students who want to consult reference books for

their school work,know that they could at least learn something there.

Besides reading in the library,we can also borrow books with library

cards.But books on loan had to be returned within a couple of weeks.As far as I

know the number of people who borrow books from public libraries is increasing

year after year.

I go to the City Hall library twice a month to read.

Some people hold the opinion that A is superior to B in many ways. Others,

however, argue that B is much better. Personally, I would prefer A because I

think A has more advantages.

There are many reasons why I prefer A. The main reason is that ... Another

reason is that...(赞同A的原因)

Of course, B also has advantages to some extent... (列出1~2个B的优势)

But if all these factors are considered, A is much better than B. From what

has been discussed above, we may finally draw the conclusion that ...(得出结论)

Let me tell you about it. First I have a great eating habit. I eat

vegetables and fruit every day and I drink yogurt twice a week .Although I like

junk food very much I try to eat it once a week because it is bad for my health.

And I also eat less meat. Then I hold on to playing sports every day. I jog 2

kilometers and jump 2 hours. Next I go to bed early and get up early. I keep

sleeping for about 8 hours. Having a great eating habits and doing exercise can

help me get good grades.

As you can see having a healthy life is important for everyone. Let’s have

a healthy life style and lead a happy life.

More and more college students, in recent years, are finding it difficult

to find jobs. This may sound strange since college students used to be the "most

favored" people in society. They have received a higher education, hence they

are more intelligent, knowledgeable than their counterparts who failed to attend

college. But chances are that some of them can hardly find jobs after graduating

from colleges.

There are two reasons that account for this strange phenomenon. One is that

some college students cannot come to terms with themselves and with the world

around them. They pursue too high goals and are too particular about such

factors as working conditions, salary, and so on. Therefore, they are reluctant

to accept the job when they are offered to them. Another reason is that the

majors some students pursue do not match with the demands of the job market. As

a result, they canonly sit and miss opportunities.

To solve this problem, I think college students should know their own

strengths and weaknesses and have the right attitude towards themselves and the

job vacancies. In addition, they should not attach too much importance to

material aspects of the job. They should put priority to their future

development and their contributions to society in stead. Furthermore, they

should think of receiving some further training to meet the demands of

society.

With our world developing,more and more people neglect how to conduct

theirselves.What is the most common reflection of this phenomenon is

dishonesty,which is now seriously influencing relationship between people.

Being dishonest can do harm not only to others but also to

ourselves,thus,we must get aware of the importance of boycoting it.Take the case

of the Sanlu powder for example.After drinking Sanlu fake powder,lots of babies

got sick and had big heads,nevertheless,their bodies still thin.People hateful

too much,the Sanlu corporation expectedly get punished and never have choice to

make up their faults.

When it comes to the significances of being honest,I consider,we will make

good relationship bewteen others,such as in the school ,in the busineand in the

society.Furthermore,only if we are honest to others can others become friendly

to us.Therefore,cultivate a virtue of honesty and we will get better.

Today is Dragon Boat Festival. Dragon Boat Festival is a traditional festival in China. It is also the most solemn and characteristic festival in our local area.

Of course, on the day of Dragon Boat Festival, mothers wear five silk threads to their children, and five silk threads are full of their mothers yearning for their children, hoping that their children will live to the age of 100. My mother gave me the five thread long thread.

In the Dragon Boat Festival, people eat dumplings, in memory of Qu Yuan. More than two thousand years ago, in the early May, five, people stood on the Miluo River and threw food into the river so as not to let the fish and shrimp and other underwater animals eat Qu Yuans body.

After lunch today, my mother took me to the supermarket. My mother bought me a sachet as a gift for the Dragon Boat Festival.

I had a great time today!

We need to follow all kinds of public rules, such as the manner rules and

the traffic regulation. If we break the rules, then all the work will be out of

order and everybody will suffer the loss. But few people just ignore the rules

and waste other people’s time and money.

Chinese high speed train has won many praise from foreign people. The

trains always start off as the timetable and reach the destination on time. High

speed train is popular by the public by its speed and punctuality, but what if

someone breaks the traffic rule? Recently, a video got popular on the Internet.

A woman was stuck in the door of high speed train and the staffs tried to stop

her but failed. She said her husband was on the way and she wanted the train to

start off later. How ridiculous it was. How could she let all the passengers to

wait for her. Everybody’s time is precious.

Though the woman apologized after the policemen’s education, what she did

discomforts the public. The way she acted wasted the public’s time. It is our

duty to follow rules and keep the public in order.
