True friends always come to you when their help is in need.They try their best to help you without thinking what they can get from it. This invariably wins them love and respect from otbers, for they devote themselves to the happiness of others.

Up to the time of my writing this article, Aero has been helping me with my selecting the courses with great effort. He is a friendly and zealous guy. I think he has been liked by others since long ago because of his characteristics. He is always brisk,enthusiastic, energetic and he is smiling no matter when or where you see him. However, I like him for some other reason.It seems that between us there is a special way to communicate and its not the usual way through which we communicate such as words and gestures. He has always been a friend of mine be cause I like the way he acts and lives and the way we communicate.

One morning a week ago, he came to me and asked if he could be of help. Actually I had been worrying about my course of this semester for days since I hadnt got any English courses yet! Still I was totally caught off guard by Aeros offer though he had always been kind. I thought it was my own business and it had never occurred to me that some other individual would offer to help with my selecting the courses. So I declined his kindness.  The very next day, I got a cough and it later turned out to be a four-day high fever. In those days, I was extremely weak and lay in bed all day long and hardly had any strength even to eat. I lost the power to keep an eye on the possible vacancies of the English courses ever since I got a high fever. I began to regret declining Aeros offer. Just at that moment, Aero called,asking about my health and told me to have a good rest, saying that he would shoulder the responsibility of selecting my English courses for me. Now I am writing this article as the homework of this writing course and Id like to re emphasize that it is all due to my friends effort that I have finally made it.

I was really grateful to him when he called and offered to help and it is hard to express my gratitude with words.  All I want to say about it is that at that moment, I realized that he had offered to help not because it made him feel he was important but because he meant business. Hes a man of integrity. I am proud of having such a friend.

今天爸爸给我买了一只可爱的小鸡，全身长着桔黄色的茸毛，我给它起名叫“小黄”。小黄两只小眼睛一眨一眨的，像小星星一样，它的爪子还没有长得那么坚硬有力，让小黄显得更加可爱。 小黄最喜欢做的事情就是趴在我的脚上睡觉。毛茸茸的、软软的身体，让我感觉到脚暖和极了。看着它睡得香甜，我不忍心动一下，生怕惊醒它，当我挪动我的脚时，它还恋恋不舍地追随我的脚。到了晚上小黄还是唧唧的叫着，要我陪它。于是我做了一个脚的模型，周围放了温水瓶，这样小黄就安心入梦了，看着它睡着了，我也安心地睡觉了。 小黄还喜欢跑来跑去和我捉迷藏，有一次，我找了半天，也没找到它，后来，在我的澡盆里发现了小黄。它在里面怎么飞，也飞不出它自己不小心蹦进去的澡盆了。看着它，我笑了，小心翼翼地把它拿出来了。 我的小鸡“小黄”可爱吧!

Waking up on New Year， everybody dresses up. First they extend greetings to their parents.

Then each child will get money as a New Year gift， wrapped up in red paper. People in northern China will eat jiaozi， or dumplings， for breakfast， as they think "jiaozi" in sound means "bidding farewell to the old and ushering in the new". Also， the shape of the dumpling is like gold ingot from ancient China.

So people eat them and wish for money and treasure.

Southern Chinese eat niangao (New Year cake made of glutinous rice flour) on this occasion， because as a homophone， niangao means "higher and higher， one year after another." The first five days after the Spring Festival are a good time for relatives， friends， and classmates as well as colleagues to exchange greetings， gifts and chat leisurely.

China has 56 ethnic groups. Minorities celebrate their Spring Festival almost the same day as the Han people， and they have different customs.

Sometimes I give him a piece of fish, it immediately "meow" to call, like saying: "Thank you!" Really very upright.

It is a pair of triangular ears is very clever, as long as the mouse issued a little voice, it will quietly rushed to the mouse to catch. With two forepaws to the mouse tightly on the ground, bite until the mouse motionless. Eat again. At the same time issued a sound of seedlings, as if to say: "delicious." Furry big tail very pleasing.

Lily, common name for the Liliaceae, a plant family numbering several thousand species of as many as 300 genera, widely distributed over the earth and particularly abundant in warm temperate and tropical regions. Most species are perennial herbs characterized by bulbs (or other forms of enlarged underground stem) from which grow erect clusters of narrow, grasslike leaves or leafy stems.

A few are woody and some are small trees. Evolutionally, the lily family is probably the basic monocotyledonous stock, its ancestors having given rise to the majority of contemporary monocots, e.g., the orchids, the palms, the iris and amaryllis families, and possibly also the grasses.

The relationships between plants of the modern lily family are not always clear, and some botanists subdivide the Liliaceae into several families or, if they take a broader view of the family, include some groups such as the Agave and Amaryllis families.
