上学期的学习生活有得也有失，总结如下：

在数学方面是我得的最多的，因为我对数学很有兴趣，上课都听得很认真，但是每次考试我的心态不是很好。考试时不能太紧张，心态好那么应该会考得好，我就是心态一会儿好，一会儿差，所以成绩一会儿高，一会儿低，心态很重要，但也要仔细。有一次我考得稍微好了一点，有一点骄傲结果后来大意失荆州，洗白了。所以一定要谦虚。吸取教训。

在语文方面我觉得我如果像学数学那样的话，保证也会学得好，可是，有时候考得不好，后来我才知道，我的书写吃了大亏，还有，该记的没记，有时听写不过关，默写也不过关，我的口语交际实在不会写，怎么写都不好。还要加油啊。

在英语方面我总是嫌麻烦恼火，所以有的句型不过关，课文的背诵有的背了就忘我的书写英语老师也说我写的不好，我真的写的丑吗?我觉得英语想学好要靠背，除了背就是读，写，我还是会加油的。

我在生活方面比较懒，还不够独立，每次去学校，衣服穿脏了就扔在一个箱子里，我也不洗，拿回家洗，用洗衣机洗。后来听说住校要叠被子我可是训练了很久的啊。最后终于会叠了，我在宿舍里有时也经常闹矛盾，就是和那个爱在鸡蛋里挑骨头的室长闹的。以后还是要谦让一点不能再那么暴躁了。现在还是好多了没怎么闹矛盾了。会谦让了。

我和朋友的关系没有太深厚的，只是比较平常，可能是因为我做事比较直，生了气不会隐瞒，说话声音大了一点，就是因为这个我经常被叫到办公室批评，不过还好，这个老师还算温柔没有打人，以后还得注意，还要收敛一下自己的脾气，多交几个朋友，我也希望这样，谁不愿意呢?

我相信我会更好的!

Today is the last day of the winter vacation, I think it should be a review of the harvest of this winter vacation.

Shortly after the winter vacation, my brothers are coming back from the field. Brother in Beijing University, now working in Beijing; cousin now working in Nanning, served as a photographer; small cousin last year to participate in college entrance examination, because the result is not very good, so not admitted to, now in Hezhou City tutorial, holiday back. When they came back, I told them to learn a lot of knowledge, play very happy! I want to learn from my brother and cousin, learn from the lessons of small cousin, and study hard, in the future, admitted to a good university.

This holiday, I can seriously complete the winter vacation homework, wrote 15 diary. Every day I have to read some extra-curricular books, in the knowledge of the ocean to absorb more nutrients. Also from the bookstore, a few of my friends to learn - the book.

If you want to study well, you must have a very strong body. During the Spring Festival, we went to climb the five mountain, the highest one was also boarded the peak of the fifth peaks of Five Fingers Group. Through these exercises, not only exercise the body, but also hone the will, the harvest can be big!

This winter, I feel very substantial, learned a lot of books and knowledge, not because of wasting time and regret.

In this winter holiday, I am the most happy thing is the fifteenth day of the yuanxiao. One day, our family after dinner early and ready for years. Just after six o clock, my brother and sister is lit torches, already prepared in every house turned a circle to send down the stairs, the family behind to the yard. Neighbors are the torches sent out of the hall, everybody together joyfully jumped up the fire in the yard. All sides gradually came to break out of firecrackers, from time to time, flashing colorful fireworks in the sky.

Jump over the fire, we as people towards the street, watch fireworks, all the way all the way to put firecrackers. Came to a more open place, I cant wait to get out what you wish for the lamp, open, carefully drums blowing it first and then let mom and dad help to mention above, I quickly fasten a solid fuel, with a lighter lit up, not the fuel burning slowly in a minute. Mother said: "dont worry, wait a moment again." We gently hold the wishing lamp waited a while and make a wish lights began to slowly rise, we all my wishing lamp, closed his hands made the wish of his heart.

Looking at the slowly rising wishing lamp, gradually away from us, the bright light like a star in the sky, to the we blink, as if to say: I will realize your wishes!

在这个寒假里，令我最快乐的事是正月十五闹元宵。这天，我们全家人早早吃完晚饭，准备送年。六点刚过，哥哥、姐姐就点燃早已准备好的火把，在每个屋子里转了一圈送下了楼，一家人紧跟在后面来到院子里。左邻右舍也都陆陆续续把火把送了出来，大家一起在院子里欢快地跳起了火堆。四面渐渐传来此起彼伏的爆竹声，天空中不时闪烁着五彩缤纷的礼花。

跳完火堆，我们随着人流走向大街，一路看花炮，一路放花炮。来到一处比较空旷的地方，我迫不及待地拿出许愿灯，小心翼翼地打开，先把它吹鼓，然后让爸爸、妈妈帮着提住上面，我动作麻利地系好固体燃料，拿着打火机点了起来，不一会儿燃料慢慢地燃着了。妈妈说：“先别急，等一会儿再放。”我们轻轻地扶着许愿灯等了一会儿，许愿灯开始慢慢上升，我们不约而同地丢开许愿灯，合起双手许下了自己的心愿。

望着慢慢上升的许愿灯，渐渐地离我们远去，闪闪烁烁的光芒好像天空中的小星星，对着我们眨眼睛，好像在说：我一定会实现你们的愿望!

My Spring Festival is special. My uncle and my aunt came back from Shanghai. My family were very happy to keep the Spring Festival with them. And it was the most exciting festival of all the festivals.

On New Year’s Eve, my father and my uncle talked about their work together. My mum did some cooking with my aunt Grandparents and I watched the New Year TV programmes. At about six o’clock, we had a special family dinner. We all thought the dumplings were delicious. examda.

On the first day of the New Year, we visited our relatives. In the afternoon, we went shopping in Jiefanf Road. My uncle bought some Jay’s CDs. He likes Jay’s music very much. There were so many people on the road. It was more alive than any other time of a year.

On the second and the third days, we spent a wonderful weekend in the country. There were much bigger trees than in the city. And the animals were more beautiful than in the city. We all enjoyed ourselves.

过年的日子总是热热闹闹的甚至热闹得有点过分，门前一条街万人空巷，车水马龙，喇叭叭齐鸣，已经达到爆满的地步，小车怎么也有几十来辆，摩托车更是有上百之数，人群则密密麻麻玄之又玄的填满了车子与车子之间的空隙，车轮子转上一圈就要按上五六次喇叭，这种堵车程度堪称恐怖，“好多人!”我轻吟一声，爸爸告诉我过年了，外出打工的人这不都回来了，我心中产生的想法是人多力量大，问题也大。说到打工，我心又突然一紧，我想到了外出打工的哥哥们，前些天，三哥打电话回家说过年不回了，工作忙而且新年的工资特别高，所以想赚多点钱，听到这一消息心中一阵失落。

几个哥哥外出打工也有几年了，记得小时候的我们，每逢过年总是一个劲的高兴，拿着一个红包就能笑着过一整天。小时候最开心的事情就是买一大堆鞭炮，全揣兜里，走到哪放到哪，可开心了，炸泥巴、炸鱼、炸竹子、甚至炸牛粪，搞的一身邋遢还傻乐，看到烟花就欢快得手舞足蹈，那时的我们总是很容易快乐，怎么快乐怎么玩，也完全不想后果，因为我们还是孩子，很单纯，或者说无忧无虑，等到逐渐长大了，过年的感觉也越来越淡了，但责任却越来越重了，爷爷奶奶老了，爸爸妈妈也日渐力乏，干不了太重的活，家里的重担自然就落到几个哥哥身上，他们要拼命赚钱赡养老人，维持家庭的正常开支，过年了，没有收红包的喜悦，而是为发红包而苦恼。

唉，或许是这些年工作越来越难找了，哥哥们打工回来赚的钱越来越少，以致于没回家的路费，每每听到家人谈到他们，总会听到，看看邻家的某某某一年挣了十几万，再看看别村某某某赚了钱过完年就盖新房了，再看看再看看……从没见过打工一年到头一分钱都没有的。然后话锋一转，对我说你啊，要好好读书考个好大学千万别像他们一样。对此我只能在一旁安静地听着，不知道说什么好，只是心中一阵难受。

Many animals are in danger of dying out. As is shown in the chart, we can

see the number of animal species decreases faster and faster and this trend will

continue. From 1980 to 2010, at least 1 million animal species have disappeared.

Worse still, more and more wild animals are in great danger. It is not a piece

of sensational news; it is a fact, a harsh reality. Unfortunately, we may not

see these animals in the near future.

From the second picture, we can find some reasons. Why is the number of

animal species declining year by year? Apparently animals have become victims of

fashion industry. Animal skin has been used to make fashionable clothes and

these clothes sell at a high price. So some greedy people begin to kill animals

in a large quantity. This irresponsible behavior not only breaks the balance of

nature but also endangers the living environment of human beings.

As far as I am concerned, something must be done to stop this illegal

action. We believe "no buying, no killing". First, we must make concerning laws

to protect these animals in danger. Second, we must take some measures to

protect animals effectively. Animals are our friends and part of our

environment. Third, we should raise peoples awareness to protect animals and

our environment. In this way, we can build a harmonious society and ensure a

sustainable development.

I have got a problem and I need to ask for your help. I feel I am a little too fat. What’s worse,I am putting on weight all the time. I am very worried about my figure and how I look. I even fear that some of my classmates call me names.

At one time, I tried to work out in a gym two or three times, but I finally gave up just because I had no time for it and always felt very tired after doing exercise. Once I tried going on a diet. However, after about a week, I could not go on because I felt so hungry that I was not able to continue my studies. Then I bought and took weight-loss pills in secret. Shortly after, they did work and I was losing weight fast. But soon I felt tired and weak sometimes.

I know those pills usually have bad effects on our health. Thus, I don’t know what I should do. Could you be kind enough to give some good advice.

people with various resources.

To begin with, trees produce oxygen and absorb carbon dioxide, which offer

us fresh air. As greenhouse effect is getting more and more serious, planting

more trees is an effective way to respond to it.

Apart from this, it is tree that stabilizes soils and prevents them from

being eroded by floods. Besides, trees can be applied to against desert.

Moreover, trees perform the function of the regulation of air temperature and

humidity. This benefit to people’s fitting to the environment.

Last but not least, trees are a kind of material of paper making, which

makes our life and communication between people more convenient.

From what has been mentioned above, we can get the conclusion that trees

improve both our environment and life, it is necessary for us to plant more

trees.

Although the winter holiday is very short, but we cant play because of the

winter vacation short and follow ones inclinations, should be playing at the

same time not forget to study combining exertion and rest.

Gorky once said that "books are the ladder of human progress" in peacetime

because learning busy and have no spare time to read reference books. Winter

holiday is coming now, we just can use the time to read reference books.

"Has its own gold room in the book, the book has its own treasure to", so I

decided to use this holiday season more than look at the name of the ancient and

modern, Chinese and foreign. Not only that I also want to consolidate the

knowledge of this semester, prepare the knowledge of the next semester. I hope

next semester moved on. Learning to lay a foundation for the next semester.

In the spare time to complete the teacher and parents the assignment, look

at news concerned state affairs. In the time of the Spring Festival is not only

to watch the Spring Festival gala, will eat dinner, visiting friends and

relatives.

After the Spring Festival to loose heart a accept, to start put your heart

in learning, the work can not continue to play. To the teacher and the school

the assignment check check is done. Again next semester need to information and

exercises will be ready.

This is my winter holiday life, my winter vacation I make decision.

My little cousin is only ten, but he knows more than any students in his grade.

He likes computer games and he is crazy about music. When he is free, he always listens to music. He likes many kinds of music, like country music, pop music, jazz and classical music.

He hates noise, when it is very noisy, he will be very angry and shout until people become quiet. So of course, he doesn’t like public places.

One day, I went shopping with him. On our way we saw a beggar. He thought the beggar was a drunk, and he wanted to tell him not to drink too much wine. But I told him that he was a beggar, he is very poor. To my surprise, he came in front of the beggar and gave him $5. Isn’t he kind?

He is like his father. They are both very kind and friendly, and a little funny. They both have big eyes and little mouth.

Although he is ten, his room is full of toy planes and toy buses.

This is my little cousin. Is he lovely?

不知不觉，一个学期又结束了，开启了其乐融融的寒假生活。

我们一家自驾回东北，陪爷爷奶奶过年，我很喜欢在这里过年，因为这里可以放鞭炮。到了三十晚上，我已经迫不及待的想放鞭炮了。我和爸爸把车里的大礼花搬了出来，把它点燃，随之是一声巨响，震天震地，一个火球飞快的打上了无边无际的天空，又是一声巨响，礼花绽放开来，它好似是一朵开在天空中的花儿，闪闪发光、五彩斑斓。本来大年初一我应该去给亲戚拜年，我最喜欢拜年了，因为可以得到压岁钱，但是今年我没有去拜年，从新闻得知一条可怕的消息——新型冠状病毒来袭，在武汉爆发，现已感染全国。当我听到这个消息时，心里感到一阵不安，生怕自己被感染了。不过，医学专家说：“只要做适当运动、勤洗手、常通风、少去人多密集的地方、尽量不出门、出门戴口罩，病毒想‘住’在你身上都难!”因此，我除了学习语文、数学、英语外，就是跳绳、打羽毛球、跑步、打拳。总而言之，过得很充实。

接着这几天里，我在新闻上看见“感染人数”在不断增加，再加上每天大人们每天都在讨论着关于病毒的事，我心里再次不安起来。爸爸好像看透了我心思，就安慰我：不要过分担心，要有战胜困难的信心。接着对我说：“前几天你还像一个上了发条的机器人一样，一直坚持运动，这几天是我忘上‘发条’了吗”片刻间，我明白了爸爸的意思，继续学习、运动起来，乐观面对现在的疫情。让我们一起期待这次“没有硝烟的战役”的胜利吧!

My winter vacation

During the winter vacation, nothing is different for my life. I wake up 11 oclock Am everyday, after a washing, I have a good lunch with my parents. Next I play computer games till the time to have supper. After have dinner. I go on playing till 2 oclock Am, and then go to sleep with tired. This is one dull day of my winter vacation.

But I havent bored all the time. Sometimes I read the books, sometime I listen to the music or the radio in the bed, because it was very cold outside and snowy all the day. And I also meat some of my good friends during the vacation, we have a very long talk about the life of each other in the past year and play table tennis tegether. And I watched the spring festival party of the CCTV in the last seconds of the 2004 year! I think this is the thing most people of china doing at that time.

Thats all, all my dull, coldly and snowy winter vacation

if i were a boy again, i would practice perseverance more often, and never give up a thing because it was or inconvenient. if we want light, we must conquer darkness. perseverance can sometimes equal genius in its results. “there are only two creatures,” says a proverb, “who can surmount the pyramids—the eagle and the snail.”

if i were a boy again, i would school myself into a habit of attention; i would let nothing come between me and the subject in hand. i would remember that a good skater never tries to skate in two directions at once.the habit of attention becomes part of our life, if we begin early enough. i often hear grown up people say “ i could not fix my attention on the sermon or book, although i wished to do so” , and the reason is, the habit was not formed in youth.

if i were to live my life over again, i would pay more attention to the cultivation of the memory. i would strengthen that faculty by every possible means, and on every possible occasion. it takes a little hard work at first to remember things accurately; but memory soon helps itself, and gives very little trouble. it only needs early cultivation to become a power.
