At about eleven we finished working. We met at the gate of the park. We all felt tired but very happy.

初二英语作文：Beijing Opera

Now let me say something about Beijing Opera. Beijing Opera is very popular in China. It has a history of more than 200 years. During the reign of the Qianlong emperor in the Qing dynasty, Qianlong had a interest in the local opera. In 1790, to celebrate his eightieth birthday, he summoned opera troupes from different places to perform for him in Beijing. Four famous troupes from Anhui province remained in Beijing after the celebration. In 1828, A Hubei troupe came to Beijing and often performed together with the Anhui troupes. The two types of singing mixed together and gradually a new type came into being known as Beijing Opera. Now is the performance. I hope you will like it.

The Chinese New Year is called Spring Festival, it usually comes in February. There is a name for each year. It may be called the year of the dog or the year of the monkey. And this year is the year of the cock.

初二英语作文：How Cities Began

Do you know how cities began?

Long ago, the world had only a few thousand people. These people moved from place to place, hunting animals for food. No one knows how or when these people learned about growing food. But when they did, their lives changed. They began to live near one another. And so the first villages grew. Many people came to work in the villages. The villages grew very big. From there the cities began. joozone.com

When machines came along, life in the villages changed again. Factories were built. More and more people lived near the factories. The cities grew very big.

初二英语作文：Early Rising

Early rising benefits us in many ways.

First, it helps to keep us fit. We all need fresh air. But air is never so fresh as early in the morning. Besides, by taking morning exercises we can improve our health.

Second, it can help us in our studies. In the morning we can learn more quickly.

Third, it can enable us to plan our work for the day. We cannot work well without a proper plan. Early rising can also give us enough time to get ready for our work..

So we say that those who always get up late should make great effort to get up early.

There is the famous saying of live and learn, which inspires so many people

to keep moving on when they want to give up. Age is always the reason for people

to give up, but some people insist on doing what they want and enjoy the

success. An old woman took part in a famous show. When she started to dance, the

judges felt a little bored at the beginning, so he gave a "no" for showing his

opinion. The old woman continued to dance, then the audience was shocked by the

old ladys wonderful action. She was like a cheerleader, jumping and turning

over her body. The judge apologized and gave her the great applause. The old

lady just picked up her dance after her husband died. She found the pleasure and

all her families supported her.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is one of the two most important holidays in the Chinese calendar (the other being the Chinese Lunar New Year), and is a legal holiday in several countries. Farmers celebrate the end of the summer harvesting season on this date.Traditionally, on this day, Chinese family members and friends will gather to admire the bright mid-autumn harvest moon, and eat moon cakes and pomeloes together. It is also common to have barbecues outside under the moon, and to put pomelo rinds on ones head. Brightly lit lanterns are often carried around by children.

Together with the celebration, there appear some special customs in different parts of the country, such as burning incense, planting Mid-Autumn trees, lighting lanterns on towers, and fire dragon dances. Shops selling mooncakes, before the festival, often display pictures of Change, floating to the moon.

Mooncake is often eaten during the festival.Typical mooncakes are round or rectangular pastries, measuring about 10 cm in diameter and 4-5 cm thick. A thick pasty filling is surrounded by a relatively thin (2-3 mm) crust and may contain yolks from salted duck eggs. Mooncakes are rich, heavy, and dense compared with most Western cakes and pastries. They are usually eaten in small wedges accompanied by Chinese tea.

Depending on personal experience, personality type and emotional concern,

we find that some people hold the idea of living in the country, while others

prefer living in the city. In my opinion, I prefer the city life, though it has

advantages and disadvantages.

First of all, city life is very colorful. City is the center of the

surrounding area. So, it is also the most booming place having the best things.

There are many great things and wonderful activities in the city, while there

isn’t in the country. For example, there are KFC, wonderful shopping mall,

delicious food from various places, dancing club, different kinds of activities

and so on. We can also learn the culture from all the countries. Despite city

life is so wonderful, it still has many disadvantages. Nowadays, with the

improvement of people’s living standard, people have more cars and more people

come to city, and then the city becomes more and more crowd. As a result,

traffic jam emerges, which makes great inconvenience for people to go out.

What’s worse, the air pollution becomes serious day by day, which is bad for

people’s health.

To sum up, every coin has two sides. Living in the city also has good side

and bad aspect. Whether like living in city or not depends on individual

thinking. As myself, I like living in city though I know the disadvantage of

living in city.

成长是一杯茶水，需要我们慢慢品，细细饮，才能品出它的甜蜜，引出它的苦涩……

——题记

在我们人生的果园里，每个人都追求硕果累累。但上帝只能给我们一粒成长的种子，只有把这粒种子种进土壤里，精心去呵护，到了秋天才能收获甜美的果实。

时间总是在不经意间从指缝间溜走，身边的人都在成长，成熟。只有太阳仍在不知疲倦地每日出现、消失。很喜欢抬头仰望，寻找阳光的温暖。翻开成长的笔记，品尝成长的味道，记忆的片断像潮水般向我涌来。

成长像打翻的五味瓶，到底是什么味道的呢?

幸福的味道

幸福原来就是一种乐观的态度……每一页都记载着人成长的足迹。童年是一场梦;少年是一幅画;青年是一首诗。“长大的感觉真好!”在我的成长档案里，我写下了自己的座右铭。

小时侯的夏天，是微热中带着丝丝凉意的。那时的我还太小，即使踮起脚也没有阳台的护栏高，入眼的，只有头顶上的风景。因为看不见四周的美丽，所以便加倍地珍惜顶上的天空。淡蓝色的天，成片成片的白云，还有，那刺眼的阳光。偶尔有一两只大雁飞过，飞过后却又还是蓝天，白云，阳光。天空辽阔而深邃，总能让我感到莫名的平静;风轻轻地吹过，白云在空中不断分离，重合，不停地变换形状;阳光暖暖地照在身上……那时的我，被淡淡的幸福包围。

长大一些，有了自己的意识。第一次进幼儿园，第一次独自在家，第一次登台表演……我的人生阅历丰富了又丰富，充实了又充实，许许多多的尝试都在搀扶我一路不停地前行——成长，我在成长。

酸楚的味道

唉，长大了，不能像以前那样天真，那样单纯，那样无忧无虑，无拘无束。小时候，犯了错，不仅不会被老妈骂，而且老妈还会安慰，丫头乖，别害怕;小时候，生气了，肆意发泄，会被老妈体谅;小时候，馋嘴了，粘着老妈蹭一顿。可是现在，犯了错，会被老妈指责，会挨骂;肆意发泄，会被说太冲动，不顾大局;馋嘴粘老妈，会被说太爱吃，好吃懒做!

成长的痕，是看似闪烁却暗淡无光的。我们想要天上的星，故可以登高楼去摘折。我们要的是闪烁，要的是光芒，却不知，我们早已遗忘了它的本质。虚荣的光环套在身上，却怎么也掩盖不住它本身的暗淡无光。当心开始敏感，我们再也找不回幼时的耀眼，幼时的骄傲。

唉，我们到底该怎么样?是也不是，不是也不是。成长的酸楚，有谁能懂?

快乐的味道

我在阳光下成长，在快乐中长大。——长大的感觉真好!感动在心底涌上一股热气，逐渐上升，上升到最顶端，化为水珠落下，虽然流泪，却很温暖，脸上浮现着幸福的微笑……

哦耶!放假喽!终于不用再被圈在家里了!约上几个闺蜜出去玩去，想玩什么玩什么。反正，不玩疯了不回家!

到家以后，衣服鞋子到处乱甩，打开电脑，听着音乐，让音乐震破耳膜。

伤感的味道

在芳香四溢的花海中，成长的烦恼犹如玫瑰一般，美丽中带着刺。

曾经的我们，少了很多的欢声笑语，开始努力了，毕竟，离毕业不远了。

毕业那天，我们相互拥抱，互赠了留言，拍了一张毕业照。照片里，大家都露出了最好的笑脸，想给彼此留下最好的回忆。其实，离别也并不是愁肠百结的，离别意味着彼此生活的一个新起点。所以，我们应以微笑代替眼泪，相互道一声：珍重!

不要抱怨苦难，因为那是成长不可或缺的一部分。郁闷的时候放开心胸想想吧，再大的困难都仅是一道独特的风景，终会过去，它们的名字，都叫做——成长。

成长的味道，应该是咖啡的味道吧，淡淡的苦涩中有着丝丝的甜蜜。成长的味道，应该是绿茶的味道吧，淡淡的清香留在记忆中。成长的味道，应该是白开水的味道吧，平平淡淡却最真实的味道。

成长的味道，是一种说不出的味道，只有我们自己去慢慢品味。

成长会让人担心它的到来，因为我们还想好好珍惜那短暂却无忧无虑的日子，虽然幼稚但内心却是从未有过的纯洁，是一片无边无际，蔚蓝色的天空，是在天使光辉照耀保护下的baby!

树上的叶子变黄，落下;雪掩埋，消融;花开放。

在我们人生的果园里，每个人都想要宝藏。但上帝只能给我们一张藏宝图和一把铁撬，要想获得真正的宝藏，需要我们用心去挖掘。关键是靠我们自己。

In the current society, with the rapid development of the Internet,

shopping on the internet has been a fashion especially among the youngsters.

Online shopping has made our daily life become more convenient and feel

comfortable. In the first place, shopping on the Internet can save much time so

they would be able to concentrate more time and energy on their academic study.

In the second place, the Internet has provided kinds of goods to consumers, and

we can save much money through online shopping.

However, every coin has two sides, online shopping also has shortcomings.

We maybe buy some fake products online because of lacking of the face to face

communication with sellers. What’s more, the delivery will increase the risk of

items’ damage.

Weighing up these two arguments, I prefer the former, because shopping on

the internet has become more and more important to us in our daily life. We

should follow the footsteps of the times.

Maybe Ill become actress. If I become an actress, maybe Ill be famous and rich, I will take part in lots of activities. Ill give money to schools and charities and do a lot of work to help people. But I dont have free time. I will have a difficult time knowing who my real friends are. Being an actress is difficult.

Maybe Ill become a teacher. If I become a teacher, I will play with children and I will communicate with children every day. Ill become a volunteer teacher and help the poor students. Ill make them get good grades.

But I want to be famous, if I become a teacher, I wont be famous, so I think Ill be an actress.

它，是我们在美好的学习、成长的道路上最忠实的朋友之一，它用一如既往的冷静，凝视着渐渐长大的我们。没错，它，就是黑板。

黑板，给我带来了又刻下了多么美好的回忆。它像一位满腹经纶的学者一样，把快乐和知识带给了我们。每每回忆它们，我们心中便充满了温馨，犹如和它结伴归故里――学校。

上个月的数学课，仍像一场电影，我一遍又一遍地回放着，忍俊不禁。

那节数学课，简直可以爆笑全校了!我们的数学老师要求几个学习差的同学上黑板来做题，其他人就在下面快速完成任务，再等在黑板上做的同学完成。

我正埋头苦干，突然班级里发出一阵爆笑，我定睛一看，原来是小施同学在做一题分数简算时，把题目也抄错了，所以做出来错得离谱。

见他一脸不知所措，我也笑得肚子疼，他手忙脚乱地擦去几个数，又重新写上了，还在黑板上仔细地算着。黑板似乎也因为他的粗心生气了，就不让他做对。我们像在看“黑板耍猴”似的，笑得花枝乱颤……

小施终于发现了他的错误，把题目改正后，又开始算了起来，可黑板偏不让他做对，这一遍他依然做得一塌糊涂。

最后还是数学老师亲自上阵，才把黑板这位“老顽童”给镇压住。

黑板虽调皮，却又像一位慈祥的长者，默默地奉献着。

有一次我们组扫地，扫完时挺早，根本不想回家。我们便拿起粉笔，在黑板上写下我们的个性签名和心里想说的话，对黑板倾诉着我们的爱，我们的烦恼，更多的是对学校的热爱，黑板则在一旁慈爱地看着我们玩耍。

黑板呵，你见证了我们几年的成长经历，除了你，谁更了解我们?

中国的文化博大精深，让我沉浸在了传统文化的美丽中……

在门口

“往上，再上，还要再上面一点点……”

“好了，就这样吧!”

我看着刚刚贴好的春联，红纸与黑字，竟是出奇地映衬，让人觉得一股喜庆迎面而来。再看内容：“爆竹升天送狗岁春华满地缀猪年”。短短的十四个字，里面不仅有去年和今年的生肖，也饱含了对新的一年的美好祝福，还读起来朗朗上口。

我遇见，融汇了美好祝福的春联的美丽。

在家里

除夕的下午，妈妈就开始在厨房里为年夜饭做准备。其他人也在帮忙：洗葱的洗葱，端盘子的端盘子，打下手的打下手，家里洋溢着忙碌却快乐的气氛。

夜幕降临，一个个装满菜的盘子陆续上桌。我们围坐在桌旁，举起手中的杯子，一齐说：“新年快乐!”

在吃年夜饭时，我们与身旁的亲人说笑，吃着大家互相夹的菜，心里满是快乐。

我遇见，家人在一起吃年夜饭的美丽。

在顶楼

时针在缓慢地走着，眼见时针终于指向了十二点，我兴奋地冲到顶楼的空地，等待着放鞭炮。

爸爸用打火机点燃线，我捂着耳朵站在一旁，脸上是压抑不住的兴奋。“砰”烟花冲上天空，在天空中绽放出五颜六色的图案，图案一下子就消散了，但紧接着，又是一个烟花冲向了天空，别家的鞭炮声也接连响起。明明在平日觉得吵闹的声音在这时却让我感到无比的热闹。

我遇见，年三十十二点放鞭炮的美丽。

让我们一起，遇见传统文化的美丽!

有一个地方，我们在那有了友情，留下汗水，留下欢笑，留下泪水，也留下脚印……那儿就是我们的学校!

初中生活在这个学校开启，也在这个学校画上句号。还有几个月，我们也将会离开这个学校，每一年都会送走一届老兵也会迎来一届新兵。要说在这里学到了什么，那可就多得数不上来了!我们在操场上学会了坚持，那一圈又一圈的塑胶跑道，我们每个人都在上面撒下了汗水，考试时就算跑得头昏眼花也要跑下去，坚持到终点。不想让一次次努力的体训白费了，咬着牙都坚持下去。篮球场上为自己的喜爱，也为学校的荣誉，不管太阳多大也坚持着。

最重要的是在教室看见了同学们的奋斗。即将中考了，也迎来了人生的第二个转折点，有多少人在教室里死记硬背，老师也在努力的备课，为的是什么?就是为了初中的最后一搏。但还有很多同学还是放松警惕，他们不明白如果今天不为你的学习买单，明天就要为你的贫穷买单。六月份中考，到今天也就还有那么二三个月，让我们一起为六月份拼搏吧!

坐在教室听老师讲课，把以前遗漏的认真复习好，把新的知识从中学好!初三上学期的我还在四处游荡，没有把心思全部投入到学习中。老师也曾一次次的把我叫过办公室。可是我的心思还是没有投入学习中，成绩一次次下滑，甚至滑到了最低谷。直到下学期我才意识到初三有多么重要，简直就是“逆水行舟，不进则退”。

到现在的开学考试，我也后悔了!老师叫寒假背的古诗我也一首没背。直到现在，我才意识到如果我再这样下去，恐怕我中考时的试卷也会这样一片空白。所以我决定为我自己的中考和自己的初中生活努力一拼，认真背书。为自己之前错误行为而浪费的光阴奋力追回来!为了让自己的初中生活不留下遗憾画上一个完美的句号，奋斗吧!想到中考前几周，同学们都会在教室里奋力一搏，也当是为自己以后的未来努力。

努力吧!同学们，初中生活人生就只有一回，错过了就错过了。还有那么几个月，得在这个充满奋斗、充满青春活力的地方再努力!努力未必成功，但放弃就一定失败。

Students need enough sports and activities to do physical exercises and relax, but in some schools they are not given enough time to do outside activities. It’s harmful for students’ growth. Teachers ask students to spend most of their time on studies. But when they feel tired and bored, students can’t concentrate on studies. They are in bad health.

It’s necessary to give students enough time to do outside activities. After good relaxation and rest, studens will work harder.

Pay attention to students’ health and growth.

学生们需要足够的运动和活动来做体育锻炼和放松,但是一些学校没有给予足够的时间从事课外活动。对学生的成长是有害的。老师要求学生花费大量的时间在研究上。但当他们累了,烦了,学生就不能集中精力学习。他们的身体也不好。

有必要给学生足够的时间从事课外活动。休息好和放松后,学生会更加努力学习。

关注学生的健康和成长。

城门前一片静寂，只听一片窃窃私语声。太子出现了，大家住口不言，给冬景增了几分落寞。太子严肃地望了望人群，用沉重的嗓音缓缓吐出字句：“今日，是重大的一天，不因为其他事，而是——”话音突落，太子皱紧眉头，心中翻动起了一缕迟疑。

终于，他放下迟疑。他抬起头，严肃地说……

今天，便是我的出征之日。我和舞阳站在一起。舞阳眉头紧皱，汗珠不停滴下。而我，却在四周观望——也许，这是最后一次看景了吧!可是，又为何放不下呢?

过了片刻，秦舞阳不禁问道：“荆卿既知此行有性命之忧，为何还能如此坦然?”我平淡地说道：“你可曾听说过秦国的士兵是怎样上阵打仗的?”不等他回答，又继续说下去：“他们从不披甲戴盔，上阵杀敌，却无人退缩，这也是秦军为何能够所向披靡，称霸天下。而今，燕国就要被秦军的铁蹄践踏，身为燕国子民的我们，怎能不像秦兵那样，为国家献出自己的生命呢?”

渐离，我的好友，双眼热泪不止，盯着我一直看，怎么也看不够。我用爽朗的笑声给众人缓解情绪，可他，渐离，却依然哭着。渐离，为什么叫渐离?难道已注定我要和我最重要的人渐渐离去?上天为何如此不公，让我陷入失友之痛?

“荆卿，你此行就算能够成功刺杀秦王，可秦王还有兄弟子嗣可以继位，这样秦国就会把燕国视为眼中钉肉中刺，而你此行又何谈是救燕国呢?”我轻笑了一声，说道：“如果我们成功刺杀秦王，秦国势必大乱，而燕国，就可以藉此得到发展，甚至强大起来，不求称霸天下，但求相安无事。所以，用我的命来换取燕国的复兴，岂不是很值得?”

冬日的雪花缓缓落下，落在人们的心里。我说，时候不早了，该走了。上了马车，却又迟迟不肯离去。我向大家挥手，泪水再也控制不住，流到地上，融化了积雪。众人泪流成河，悲切之意更加浓厚。这眼泪，是对朋友，还是家乡、亲人的思念呢?又或者，是对心中放不下的情感的诠释?

冬天的易水河是最美丽的，虽然水面已然成冰，不如春天的河水生动、活泼，却犹如一面镜子，倒影着远方重叠不断的山峦和带着点点丝绸的蓝天。只是这一切，都好像是在为离别的忧伤作铺垫罢了。

我的脸上出现了一抹笑容，此时，秦舞阳面上的寒色也荡然无存。渐离为我们击筑，虽泪流满面，筑声却铿锵有力。这应该是他最突破自己风格的演奏吧!雪依然在下着，越下越大……

音绝愁何在，风息人已没。泪见天涯路，拳拳壮士心!

Since I went to college, I feel so excited about the new chapter of my

life. I have imagined the campus life for so many years. Now I finally come to

this stage. I have much time after class, so I need to learn to deal with it.

After two years’ struggling, I find the right way to spend my time.

The first thing for every college student is to learn major knowledge. In

China, so many students think college time is used to play instead of study, so

they skip class. This is a big mistake. College is the stage for students to

master practical skills, which decides what kind of job they will work on. So I

study very hard from Monday to Friday. I don’t want to miss the important

knowledge.

The second thing for college students is to join the after-class

activities. Joining the activities can not only learn more skills, such as dance

and sports, but also can make friends. Campus is like a small society. Students

need to learn to make connections with other students, so that they can win more

chances. I learn a lot from my new friends and know how to communicate.

My college life is wonderful, I learn both knowledge and social skills.

时间老人突然变得好无情，让我们相遇，相知，却又分离。相遇是一种缘分，老师，同学，可还记得我们一起走过的花季?

时间的指针，重新转会初三。

老师在黑板不知疲惫地写着五花八门的公式，嘴里还不停地叮嘱我们一定要记得。可调皮的同学回答道：“我们要去帮忙值日，可没空。”老师无可奈何向同学们翻了个白眼，教室里笑声一片。

初三，我们不再是小孩子，不再那般幼稚，天真，而是多了一份成熟，多了一份紧张和害怕，面临即将要中考的我们，感觉压力山大。

时光走的匆匆，在初三这一年里，我们早上背着A、B、C起床，中午嗅着二氧化碳吃饭，晚上抱着杠杆睡觉，每天都用学习来充实自己，不图别的，就为了老师的期待，为了兄弟姐妹一起奔向更美好的学校，奔向更好的未来，为了家长们的日夜操。因为我们一起走过，我更比以前更努力，会更加加油。

朋友们，别忘了我们的约定，那时六月的雨不停得下。记住，曾经的我们很幸福，很快乐，满怀憧憬。如今，我们毕业了，毕业，面临着分离，面临着说再见。一定要记住我们一起走过最美的花季。

花季是懵懂的，我们也许犯过错，但我们还是知错能改的孩子。花季，我们一起拥有最美好的时光，现在想念两个人挤在一张床上聊天到半夜的日子，想念那些一起疯，一起哭，一起走过的花季，想念那些陪伴彼此共同走过的岁月。

成长刺痛了灵魂，回忆恋起了曾经，眼泪唤起了孤独。

这就是花季，这就是我们的曾经。年少轻狂的我们也会长大，青春的花季，总是多姿多彩，总是充满着好奇刺激。

匆匆那年，我们走过最美好的花季。

Friend plays important role in our lives. Everyone needs his or her own

friends. Some people make friends easily but some do not. And “friend” means

differently to people. Some people think friends should stay together all the

time, but some others think that share and support is the real meaning of

friend. From my point of view, friend is the person who will always be with you

no matter what happens. It’s the person who can share your happiness as well as

sorrows.

There are many different beliefs about the origin of the Lantern Festival.

But one thing for sure is that it had something to do with celebrating and

cultivating positive relationship between people, families, nature and the

higher beings they believed were responsible for bringing/returning the light

each year.

One legend tells us that it was a time to worship Taiyi, the God of Heaven

in ancient times. The belief was that the God of Heaven controlled the destiny

of the human world. He had sixteen dragons at his beck and call and he decided

when to inflict drought, storms, famine or pestilence upon human beings.

Beginning with Qinshihuang, the first emperor to unite the country, all the

emperors ordered splendid ceremonies each year. The emperor would ask Taiyi to

bring favorable weather and good health to him and his people. Emperor Wudi of

the Han Dynasty directed special attention to this event. In 104 BC, he

proclaimed it as one of the most important celebrations and the ceremony would

last throughout the night. They clean it all up in the morning.

Another legend associates the Lantern Festival with Taoism. Tianguan is the

Taoist god responsible for good fortune. His birthday falls on the 15th day of

the first lunar month. It is said that Tianguan likes all types of

entertainment, so followers prepare various kinds of activities during which

they pray for good fortune.

Yet another common legend dealing with the origins of the Lantern Festival

speaks of a beautiful bird that flew down to earth from heaven, which was hunted

and killed by some villagers. This angered the Jade Emperor in Heaven because

the bird was his favorite one. Therefore, he planned a storm of fire to destroy

the village on the 15th lunar day. The Jade Emperors daughter heard of this

plan, and warned the villagers of her father’s plan to destroy their village.

The village was in turmoil because nobody knew how should they escape their

imminent destruction.

However, a wise man from another village suggested that every family should

hang red lanterns around their houses, set up bonfires on the streets, and

explode firecrackers on the 14th, 15th, and 16th lunar days. This would give the

village the appearance of being on fire to the Jade Emperor. On the 15th lunar

day, troops sent down from heaven whose mission was to destroy the village saw

that the village was already ablaze, and returned to heaven to report to the

Jade Emperor. Satisfied, the Jade Emperor decided not to burn down the village.

From that day on, people celebrate the anniversary on the 15th lunar day every

year by carrying red lanterns on the streets and exploding firecrackers and

fireworks.

There are many stories on how this festival was created. One other story is

about a maid. In the Han Dynasty, Mr. Eastern was a favorite advisor of the

emperor. One winter day, he went to the garden and heard a little girl crying

and getting ready to jump into a well to commit suicide. Mr. Eastern stopped her

and asked why. She said she was a maid in the emperors palace and her name was

Yuan-Xiao.

She never had the chance to meet her family after she started worked at the

palace. She missed them so much every 12th lunar month. If she couldnt have the

chance to show her filial piety in this life, she would rather die. Mr. Eastern

promised her to find a way so she could reunion with her family. Mr. Eastern

left the palace and set up a fortune-telling stall on the street and disguised

himself as a fortuneteller. Because of his reputation, many people asked for

their fortunes.

But every one got the same prediction - a severe fire accident on the 15th

lunar day. The rumor spread quickly. Everyone was worried about the future and

asked Mr. Eastern for help. Mr. Eastern said, "On the 13th lunar day, the God of

Fire will send a fairy lady in red to burn down the city. If you see a lady in

red wearing green pants riding a black horse on that day, you should ask for her

mercy." On that day, Yuan-Xiao pretended to be the red fairy lady. When people

asked for her help, she said, "Im the messenger of the God of Fire and came to

check on the city and Im going to set up fire on 15th. This is an order from

Jade Emperor. He will watch from the heavens.

I will give you a copy of the imperial decree from the God of Fire. You

should go to ask your emperor to find a way out." After she left, people went to

the palace to show the emperor the decree which reads "The capital city is in

trouble. Fire burns on the palace, and fire from Heaven burns all night long on

the 15th." The emperor of Han Dynasty was very shocked. He called and asked Mr.

Eastern for advice. After pondering for a while, Mr. Eastern said, "I heard that

the God of Fire likes to eat Tang-Yuan (Sweet dumpling). Does Yuan-Xiao often

cook Tang-Yuan for you? On the 15th lunar day, let Yuan-Xiao make Tang-Yuan.

Your Majesty will take charge of the worshipping ceremony and you will give

an order to every house to prepare Tang-Yuan to worship the God of Fire at the

same time. Also, deliver another order to ask every house in the city to hang

red lantern and explode fire crackers. Lastly, everyone in the palace and people

outside the city should carry their lanterns on the street to watch the lantern

decoration and fireworks. If everything goes this way, the Jade Emperor would be

deceived.

Then everyone can avoid the fire accident." The emperor happily followed

the plan. Lanterns were everywhere in the capital city on the night of the 15th

lunar day. People were walking on the street. Fire crackers kept making lots of

noise. It looked like the entire city was on fire. Yuan-Xiaos parents went into

the palace to watch the lantern decorations, and Yuan-Xiao made a big lantern

and wrote her name on the lantern. They happily reunited together after her

parents called her name. Everybody was safe during the night. The emperor of Han

Dynasty had a new order that people should do the same thing every year. Since

Yuan-Xiao cooked the best Tan-Yuan, people called the day Yuan-Xiao

Festival.

Young people were chaperoned in the streets in hopes of finding love.

Matchmakers acted busily in hopes of pairing couples. The brightest lanterns

were symbolic of good luck and hope. As time has passed, the festival no longer

has such implications.

Those who do not carry lanterns often enjoy watching informal lantern

parades. In addition to eating tangyuan (simplified Chinese: 汤圆; traditional

Chinese: 湯圓; pinyin: tāngyuán), another popular activity at this festival is

guessing lantern riddles (which became part of the festival during the Tang

Dynasty), which often contain messages of good fortune, family reunion, abundant

harvest, prosperity and love.

Everyone has their own habit. I have some living habits. I will take off my

shoes and put on the slippers when I arrive home. And I get used to drink some

soup before having dinner. What’s more, I have to keep my room light on until I

fall asleep. If I am forced to change anything about this, I will be very

uncomfortable. For example, if I don’t wear slipper at home, I will be very

uncomfortable. If I can’t drink soup before dinner, I can’t eat anything. And I

can’t fall asleep if the light is off. This is my living habit. Maybe I will

change it one day, but now I can’t receive any change about them.

The Asian game is held in Korea, all the best players in Asia are competing for the honor, every day, we can see many excellent matches.

I like to see swimming match so much, the players swim so fast just like the fish. Recently, a boy named Ning Zetao is so hot, he won the men’s 50meter and 100meter in swimming, what’s more, he breaks the Asian record. He is very famous now, people call him the new flying fish in Asia. As it is known to all that Chinese athletes are not good at short distance in swimming, but now Ning opens the new chapter, he proves that Chinese athletes can swim fast.

I believe in the future, Ning will do better.

亚运会在韩国举行，亚洲所有最好的运动员为了荣誉而战，每一天，我们都可以看到很多精彩的比赛。

我很喜欢看游泳比赛，运动员游起来就像鱼那么快。最近，一个叫宁泽涛的男孩子很出名，他赢得了男子游泳50米和100米的冠军，而且，他打破了亚洲的记录。他现在已经很出名了，人们称他为亚洲新一代的飞鱼。

众所周知，中国的运动员并不擅长短距离游泳，但是现在宁打开了新的篇章，他证明了中国的运动员也可以游得很快。

我相信将来，宁会做得更好。

曾子有言：“吾日三省吾身，为人谋而不忠乎?与朋友交而不信乎?传不习乎?”。正是因为他每日三省，才有了后人对他的敬仰和爱戴，故曰：善于反省，功成可待。

在中国的历史上出现了很多因反省而功成的人。比如汉武帝刘彻，他是第一个用罪己诏形式进行自我批评的皇帝。汉武帝中年在军事上取得了极大的成功，但他仍不满足，在边境四处用兵。还组织了一个号称“绣衣使者”的特务机构，以探察民心。但因其权力过大使得汉王朝衰弱不堪。年迈的汉武帝深深陷入了不可名状的寂寞之中，遂于轮台写下了《罪己诏》，并表示要爱护百姓等。正因为他善于反省才留下了轮台悔过的佳话。

与此类似，还有一代明君李世民，他善于反省，勤于纳谏。他的一位有名谏臣魏征，因其敢于犯言直谏，直言无隐而深受太宗重用。他的上书往往言辞激烈，直指唐太宗的过失。太宗有时也难免勃然大怒，但他善于反省，于是成就了君臣合作的楷模。

善于反省不仅上至君王，也下至名将。战国时期，诸侯争霸。廉颇以英勇善战，攻守有方被拜为上卿。后来，赵国大夫蔺相如因“完璧归赵”和在“渑池会”中立了大功，拜为上卿，位居廉颇之上。廉颇很不服气，屡次想羞辱蔺相如。而蔺相如事事以大局为重，避开廉颇，并对不理解他的门客说：“诸侯不敢进攻赵国，是怕我和廉将军。现在如果两虎相争，则必有一伤。我不是怕他，而是先国家后私仇啊!”廉颇听后大受感动。廉颇善于反省，勇于改过，“负荆请罪”之举被传为千古美谈。

古今中外，不乏善于反省的人。中国近代史上地位显赫而又最有争议的一位人物——曾国藩。他从少年起，就天天写日记反省自己，一生中没有一天不警醒，每天检讨自己。他接人待物豁达大度，做事就算历经百千险阻也要再接再厉，坚持到底。因为他的善于反省，为镇压天平天国起义做出了巨大的贡献。

无论是一介布衣，一代名将又或是一代帝王都因为他们的善于反省，才使得他们的事迹流传后世，他们的人格魅力感染世人，为世人所赞颂。于此，善于反省，功成可待。善于反省，世界就会是它最原本的模样。

The New Year is coming and this term has finished. Now, I can enjoy a happy

winter holiday. In winter holiday, I don’t have to get up early every morning.

It’s the best thing for me. I often get up at nine o’clock in the morning. My

parents go to work so I stay at home alone. I will go out for breakfast. Noodle,

milk and egg are my favorites. Then I go back home to watch TV or meet my

friends. We always have many things to do. My parents would go home at noon so I

have lunch at home. In the afternoon, I will sleep and then do some homework. In

short, I spend most time in playing. I love winter holiday.

导语：小时候的我们都喜欢吃糖，可是糖吃多了，我们的牙齿就不好了，我们要保护好我们的牙齿，下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的相关英语作文，欢迎阅读与借鉴，谢谢!

My mother always tells me not to eat too much candy, but I just couldn’t control myself. Once, I felt my teeth hurt and did not feel like eating. My mother took me to see the dentist and I was so afraid. The doctor used his machine to fix my teeth, I was terrified and cried. Since then, I realize the importance of taking care of my teeth. So I do not eat the candy too often. I will wash my teeth before I sleep, what’s more, the ice food and the sour food will be rejected by me. My friends envy me for having the white teeth, for I look so healthy and beautiful.
