五莲县实验小学 2011级3班 刘浩

Hi,大家好!我叫刘浩,今年整十岁,生来眉清目秀,

心地善良。

我的名字叫刘浩,是个男生,个子中等,但有些胖乎乎的,头发有些长,有人说我的眼睛长得还可以,我对这个部位也很自信。我的鼻子不是很笔挺,,但不是很难看,牙齿现在虽然不算整齐,但它是可以矫正的,我对自己唯一不满意的地方就是嘴巴,因为上嘴唇有点儿上翘,但整体看来还算可以呦!给自己打个85分吧!

我这个人天生就爱笑,无论在哪里,都能听见我“咯咯”的笑声,就是因为我总爱莫名其妙地笑,所以妈妈总是时常提醒我。

我这个人啊,比较憨厚、老实、一般不惹事生非,和同学比较团结、友好,对自己有些方面不是很自信,至于学习成绩嘛,还需要努力,也希望老师和同学多多帮助我呦!

妈妈说我有个助人为乐的优点,我觉得有一件事就能说明这一点。

记得有一次和妈妈出去逛街,碰见一个小妹妹苦苦啼啼,一问才知道她找不到妈妈了,我赶紧把她哄好,用妈妈的手机给她

的妈妈打了个电话,小妹妹找到妈妈后为了感谢我,还给了我一块棒棒糖呢!

这就是我,欢迎走进我的世界!

dear eric,

My hometown is beautiful place It stands near a wide river at the foot of low green hills. It has many tall buildings and wide streets. There are trees and flowers everywhere.

But it has not always been like that. In the old days, it was a sad dirty little town. Landlords and merchants lived in the few good houses. For the working people there were only dark, unhealthy rooms in old buildings and huts in narrow muddy streets. Nearly everyone was poor and many had no work.

Everything has changed since liberation. The people, led by the Party, have got rid of the mud and dirt. They have put up schools, theaters, shops and flats. They have an assembly hall and a hospital. Along the river they have built offices, hotels and parks. A lot of factories have sprung up. On the river, streamers and boats come and go busily, day and night. They carry the products of our industries to all parts of the country.

I love my hometown, and I love its people. They also have changed. Healthy and happy, they are going all out to build socialism.

我希望你能来这里体验这个美妙的节日。

大家好~我叫×××(大名),平时大家可以叫我小名,今年刚好14岁了。说道自己的性格,其实我自己也不是很清楚,有的时候很细心,有的时候很粗心.有时候的很暴躁,也有时候的很耐心. (这话打上去很有个性的,挺脱俗的) 我平时最喜欢的事是坐在自己的书桌前,拉开窗帘,让温暖的阳光照在身上,塞上耳机,播放自己最喜欢的音乐《唯一》、《依然爱你》等,之后握起一枝笔,在自己的本子上记录下自己的心情、体会、经历,那样我会感觉很安逸~~ 其实我还有一门“本领”,那便是“P图”,那时一种在网络上已经是十分受欢迎的一门美化照片的技术,如果同学或老师需要,我一定会让他们的照片更加阳光、靓丽~ 要说我这人的毛病,那就是“懒”了,因为我一直不喜欢运动,所以体育成绩一直不是很好,新学期我会坚决改掉这个坏毛病。 接下来要进入初中生活了,怎么说呢,心中既有向往又有一种莫名的恐惧,呵呵~反正都是要面对的,我不如怀揣着一颗乐观的心去接受它吧~~面对这么多的新同学,我很有信心成为他们每一个人的知心朋友~

The Double Seventh Festival on the 7th day of the 7th lunarmonth is a traditional festival full of romance. It often goes into August in the Gregorian calendar.

This festival is in mid-summer when the weather is warm and the grass and trees reveal their luxuriousgreens. At night when the sky is dotted with stars and people can see the Milky Way spanning from the north to the south. On each bank of it is a bright star which see each other from afar. They are the Cowherd and Weaver Maid and about them there is a beautiful love story passed down from generation to generation.

Long long ago there was an honest and kind-hearted fellow named Niu Lang (Cowhand). His parents died when he was a child. Later he was driven out of his home by his sister-in-law. So he lived by himself herding cattle and farming. One day a fairy from heaven Zhi Nu (Weaver Maid) fell in love with him and came down secretly to earth and married him. The cowhandfarmed in the field and the Weaver Maid wove at home. They lived a happy life and gave birth to a boy and a girl. Unfortunately the God of Heaven soon found out the fact and ordered the Queen Mother of the Western Heavens to bring the Weaver Maid back.

With the help of celestial cattle the Cowhand flew to heaven with his son and daughter. At the time when he was about to catch up with his wife the Queen Mother took off one of her gold hairpins and made a stroke. One billowyriver appeared in front of the Cowhand. The Cowhand and Weaver Maid were separated on the two banks forever and could only feel their tears. Their loyaltyto love touched magpies so tens of thousands of magpies came to build a bridge for the Cowhand and Weaver Maid to meet each other. The Queen Mother was eventually moved and allowed them to meet each year on the 7th of the 7th lunar month. Hence their meeting date has been called "Qi Xi" (Double Seventh).

Scholars have shown the Double Seventh Festival originated from the Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD220). Historical documents from the Eastern Jin Dynasty (AD371-420) mention the festival while records from the Tang Dynasty (618-907) depict the grand evening banquetof Emperor Taizong and his concubines. By the Song (960-1279) and Yuan (1279-1368) dynasties special articles for the "Qi Xi" were seen being sold on markets in the capital. The bustling markets demonstrated the significance of the festival.

Today some traditional customs are still observed in ruralareas of China but have been weakened or diluted in urban cities. However the legend of the Cowhand and Weaver Maidhas taken root in the hearts of the people. In recent years in particular urban youths have celebrated it as Valentines Day in China. As a result owners of flower shops bars and stores are full of joy as they sell more commodities for love.
