Gorky said: "Books are the ladder of human progress!" It is obvious how

important reading is! Reading books allows us to learn a wealth of knowledge,

but also make people progress.

Usually we should read more books, and we must read good books, such as:

science fiction, composition, fairy tales, fables, myths and other useful.

Meaningful book. However, for books like comics, it is best to read less.

"Reading through thousands of books, writing pens is like a god." I think

that reading more is good for writing. When reading, you should accumulate some

good words and good sentences, and then copy them on your notebook. Learn more

about other peoples writing skills. Content, so that when writing, the

accumulated and learned things can come in handy!

Books are our good friends; books are also our good teachers; none of us

leave anyone, book this intimate teacher, this competent teacher!

When I watch the TV series, there always present the rich familys life,

but I dont feel envious about the rich life. It is obvious that though these

people live the better life, the cost is that their parents spend less time to

play with them. The time to stay with our parents is really important, while the

rich parents have much work to do, so they dont have much private hours. I was

born in an ordinary family. My parents will never miss the moment when I need

them. I am so thankful to life, because I have my parents love. Whats more, I

have made many good friends. We share our interest and have a lot in common.

Dear friend,

I have a great news to inform here. Through long efforts, Beijing has been granted the right to host 2008 Olympic games. As a resident in Beijing, I feel quite excited and like to share with you my happiness.

This success means a lot more than a game to me. In the first place, this Games will definitely promote the development of our economy. According to a recent survey by some experts, this games will raise our GDP by about 3%, and offer about 10,000 jobs. What’s more, our culture will be widely recognized and accepted all over the world through the Games. People will come over from every corner of the world, and experience Chinese culture in every aspect. Besides, through the games, our living environment will be greatly improved. For example, the public transportation system will be up-dated. Moreover, it’s known that more trees will be planted, and grassland will be considerably expanded.

My friend, I really look forward to the coming of this great Games. As an individual, I’m all ready to offer my help in any way I can. I also hope to invite you all to come here, and watch the games in 2008.

Sincerely yours,

As the summer vacation comes, I decide to learn swimming, because the

weather is so hot, I can make myself cool, what’s more, I want to master another

skill and protect myself. Many people lose their lives when they meet the

accident in the water, so it is important to learn swimming. I have made up my

mind and must finish this task.

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.

What impresses me most in Beijing is the Great Wall which is one of the

greatest projects in the world.

Its not only the cultural heritage, but also a symbol of China. "Its

glorious." I think. It looks like a big dragon running across the mountainous

area. It starts Shanhaiguan in the east to Jiayuguan in the west.Its so long that nobody can walk from the beginning to the end.It was firstly built in Qin Dynasty and prolonged in Ming and Qing

dynasties.It was used to protect the enemies from invading in the past, but now it

has become the place of interest which attracts so many tourists both at home

and abroad.

When I was standing on the top of the Great Wall, I felt as if I were in

ancient days.

I could see many laborers working very hard. How could they finish this

extremely difficult task by hand?

The Hollywood culture is favored by the world. Every year, the movies

produced by Hollywood always win both money and fame. In recent years, the US TV

series are also popular and catch more fans. The English language shows become

the winners all the time. But non-English language shows are starting to

arise.

The most famous non-English language movies are Indian movies. Because of

the Bollywood, which came before Hollywood, Indian movies are produced well and

have its own feature. Besides, more TV series of non-English language are

popular around the world. The Swedish show Skam is the hottest, and a lot of

Chinese young fans are so crazy about it.

Watching the show is a good way to learn the language and culture. It is a

good trend for people to pay attention to various cultures. Today, as the world

gets globalized, it is important to know more about the world and broaden our

vision. Though what we learn from the non-English language shows is limited, it

is better than not to watch.

Dragon Boat Festival,often known as Tuen Ng Festival or Duan Wu Festival,is

a traditional Chinese festival held on the fifth day of the fifth month of the

Chinese calendar.Dragon Boat festival memorializes the Chinese poet Qu Yuan.He

committed suicide by drowning himself in a river because he was disgusted by the

corruption of the Chu government.People sat on dragon boats,and tried to scare

the fishes away by the thundering sound of drums.Hence,toady we sail the dragon

boats to celebrate this festival.Also,people eat zongzi (the food originally

intended to feed the fishes) in memory of Qus dramatic death.

Beijing, is the nations political, economic, cultural and educational

center as well as Chinas most important center for international trade and

communications.

As the capital of the PRC, Beijing is located in northern China. The city

covers an area of more than 16,410 square kilometers (6336 square miles) and has

a population of 14.93 million people.

Beijing is a city with four distinct seasons. Beijings long and

illustrious history started some 500,000 years ago. Records show that Beijing

has been an inhabited city for more than three thousand years. For more than 800

years, Beijing was a capital city - from the Yuan Dynasty (1271 - 1368) to the

Ming (1368 - 1644) and Qing (1644 - 1911) dynasties.

Although now Beijing is a modern and fashionable city complete with a full

21st Century vitality, you can experience authentic Beijing life and become

acquainted with old Beijing by exploring its many teahouses, temple fairs,

Beijings Hutong and Courtyard and enjoy the Peking Opera. There are many sights

in Beijing like Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, the Great Wall, as well

as the Temple of Heaven and so on. With its century-old history and unique

cultural relics, and as the host city of the 2008 Olympics, Beijing attracts

more and more visitors.

Shanghai, Chinas largest modern city, is situated in the middle of Chinas

east coastal line. Shanghai covers an area of over 6,340 squarekilos and has a

population of over 15 million.

It is the largest economic and trade centre in the country and

acomprehensive industrial base. It is an open city along the coast, as well as a

Welcome to visit Beijing and Shanghai

Every person needs sleep everyday. But with the high development of

society, most people have more and more things to do and have less time to

sleep. As a result, many people are lack of sleep. For a short time, they may

not realize the bad side of it, but it will bring something bad for them after a

long term. First of all, lack of sleep will do harm to people’s look. If they do

not sleep enough, they will get black eyes and bad skin easily, which will make

people look no so beautiful. Secondly, lack of sleep is bad for the spiritual

outlook. A person who lacking of sleep always looks tired and has no power to do

things. Last, not enough sleep for a long time will have bad influence of

thought. They always can’t be active in mind.

Speaking of reading, many people are excited because reading brings them

both knowledge and entertainment. By reading, we can learn lots of information

and know our history. But for some people, reading is not their priority. They

will choose to watch movies to have fun. However, I think people can benefit a

lot by reading.

First of all, reading can let us know what have happened in history. Since

history is recorded in books, if we read books, then we can not only what have

happened in history but also we can better understand the great figures of the

age.

Secondly, reading can enrich our knowledge. By reading, we can know

different kinds of things, how things happen and how to avoid bad things from

happening. Books record a wide range of things about life. Through reading, we

can know various aspects of life.

Thirdly, reading teaches us skills. There are so many books about how to

learn a certain language, how to get a good job, how to become popular in your

circle, how to cook and so on. Thus, these kinds of books can make us more

skillful if we do a certain thing.

All in all, we can find lots of benefits through reading.

People around the world may feel that the climate has been getting steadily

warmer and warmer in recent years. Places which used to be abundant in snowfall

have frequently experienced snowfree(无雪的) winters. Drought lasts longer in some

dry areas. People find that without air conditioners they could hardly work or

fall asleep on hotter summer days.

The side effects of global warming are alarminS. A warmer global climate

melts the ice caps, raising sea levels. What is more, it disturbs weather

patterns, causing droughts, severe storms, hurricanes (飓风). People suffer a lot

from disasters relevant to global warming.

To stop global warming we should make immediate and continual efforts. We

hope the situation will soon change. Global warming catches and holds our

concern, for it affects us and will affect our later generations. We cannot wait

any longer. Do it. Do it right. Do it right now.

Today, cellphone has been part of people’s live, they use cellphone to keep

in touch with friends and family, cellphone is also very helpful in people’s

work. As cellphone is so important, so people count on it so much, I think we

need to take the right attitude towards cellphone.

Teenagers especially like to use cellphone, they can’t live without

cellphone. Take my brother for example. He carries cellphone all the time, no

matter what he does. When we are talking to him, he just lows down his head and

says yes, I don’t think he is listening to us. When he is walking on the street,

he still keeps his eyes on the screen. My brother is a typical cellphone user, I

feel pity for him because he misses so many beautiful moment.

It is very a common situation for the young people to low down their heads

to check on the cellphone. They don’t have the real communicate with others, it

is not a good behavior. It is better to drop down the cellphone and see the

scenery around us.

The volunteering spirit has spread among the Chinese people in recent

years,especially among young people。

Volunteering is of tremendous benefits to both those in need and

society.Take the Wenchuan Earthquake as an example.Hundreds of thousands of

volunteers play an active role in Wenchuan quake-hit areas.And they contribute

daily necessaries,offer medical help and psychological help to the disaster

relief work.

Besides,volunteering would be beneficial to the volunteers

themselves~Getting involved in volunteering,volunteers will be exposed to a new

environment,and they can learn how to work well in a team,how to improve their

interpersonal skills and organizational skills，all of which are critical for

their professional growth。As a college student,I sincerely hope that everyone

would join the volunteering work.It is not only good to our society,but also a

chance for us to grow and to learn.

Nowadays, with the development of technology, the market competition is

fierce and people feel great pressure. In order to improve the working

efficiency, they force themselves to work overtime. However, they are not

machine and need to slow down life pace, or they will break down sooner or

later.

We cant slow down the working hour, but we can control our private time. A

lot of young people mix with working time and private time, so they cant enjoy

their life and feel depressed all the time. The smart person will find the

balance. They will put aside the working stuff when the clock tells them that it

is time to be off work and find the way to release their pressure, such as

KTV.

Spending the time with friends and families is always a good way to enjoy

our time. No matter what kind of difficulties we face, when we recall of these

happy moments, we will have motivation to move on. We cant choose everything we

want, but we can adjust ourselves to the environment and keep the good mood.

Once life pace slows down, we control our life.

With the coming of national day, I have a one week holiday.

I really expect to it, because it want to have a short trip during these days. I will travel to Jiuzhai Valley with my parents for three days.

I have heard that the scenery of Jiuzhai Valley is very beautiful in autumn that it’s the best time to travel there.

Autumn is my most favorite season so I want to enjoy the beauty of such a wonderful place. I do some preparations for this trip.

For example, I search the Internet to see the travel raiders and I have known where the most attracting place is and where to live in. I am sure it will be a wonderful journey.

There are only several days for the coming trip, but I have been too excited to wait.

If a book is the sky, I was the birds fly freely in the sky; If a book is

the sea, I will be the swimming fish; If the book is the forest, I is the forest

the jubilant fawn; If the book garden, then I will be the dancing butterfly. Is

ah, gorky said: the book said that the ladder of human progress. The status of

books in peoples minds.

The classmates, dont your parents let you read, think to learn major

courses is the most important? The benefits of reading: not only can improve the

ability of project, it is a great way of reading comprehension.

Remember once, the teacher arranged a composition, only a minority of the

whole class classmate "optimal" I one of its top, one might ask: how do you only

into their "team"? What is the "secret weapon"? Let me tell you: "secret weapon"

that book! Reading is not enough light to read a few times, read read through

the book, and those who make you feel good good words we accumulation. I also

specially prepared a unaccustomed strain. You look! The "king" composition is

leisurely leisurely reading! Accumulation of his words have a Big Ben, think of

is dazzling, how could he not write good, good composition?

I often read books, the romance of The Three Kingdoms, "journey to the

west", "the Wolf dream king", "red ribbon lion king" is favored by me, such as

read book is ever new, one of the "the black swan amethyst" I have read a dozen

times.

Books are necessary in my life, also is the most gorgeous rainbow in my

life, because it brings the colorful life.

The Qingming (Pure Brightness) Festival is one of the 24 solar terms in

China, falling on April 4-6 each year. After the festival, the temperature will

rise up and rainfall increase. It is the high time for spring plowing and

sowing. In the past, the Qingming Festival was called “Arbor Day”, but since

1979, “Arbor Day” was settled on March 12 according to the Gregorian

calendar.

But the Qingming Festival is not only a solar term to guide farm work, it

is more a festival of commemoration. It sees a combination of sadness and

happiness. This is the most important day of sacrifice. Both the Han and

minority ethnic groups at this time offer sacrifices to their ancestors and

sweep the tombs of the diseased. On each Qingming Festival, all cemeteries are

crowded with people who come to sweep tombs and offer sacrifices, but the

customs have been greatly simplified today. After slightly sweeping the tombs,

people offer food, flowers, then burn incense and ghost money. In short, it’s a

time to cherish the memory of our ancestors and show our respect to them. Also,

it’s a time for family gathering.

In the past few decades, our Earth has changed a lot, but to the bad

direction. Among these changes, the air pollutions resulting from a huge number

of automobiles and coal-burning is almost the severest. The severe air pollution

alarms humans of the heavy load we have exerted on Earth by our insatiable

production and usage of automobiles. However, with the deepening of

urbanization, more cars are needed, which will make the air pollution worse.

Therefore, the following actions should be taken. First, we should apply the

most cutting-edge technologies in order to adopt new forms of energy as

substitutes for fossil fuels. Second, try hard to develop possible

transportation means, which are enviromental friendly. So that the citizens can

reduce the dependence on cars. In short, our humans should take responsibilities

for the air pollution and have to find ways to solve this problem.

Almost all people work hard for success, but not all people can success.

Many people ask how to make success. I think the answer is persistence. The way

to success is full of failure and difficulty. People should never give up when

meet them. If you give up, you can’t be successful. No matter how hard it is,

persistence must be there.
