Among the three main subjects,my favourite one is English.And I always help my classmates with their English.Also I am good at Chinese,for my father is very strict with me in my study.But we are good friends at home.We help each other and love each other.I enjoy my family life very much.

Dear Mother,

Hello, I am the daughter who loves to make you angry. Now I am writing to

apologize to you:

Mom, Im sorry. When I was a child, I did not know the hard-won grain and

always wasted some food. You told me "Who knows the food on the plate, every

grain is hard", but I did not listen. Mother, please forgive my ignorance.

Mom, Im sorry. When I was a boy, I didnt know how hard it was to earn

money. If you are satisfied, I will be happy, if you are not satisfied; I cried

and shouted to you for, but never said a simple "thank you". Mother, please

forgive me for my willfulness.

Mom, Im sorry. Now I know that all this is hard won. But I began to rebel

at that time of adolescence, and I began to quarrel with you and talk back to

you... I still remember that time, I went to the store with my classmates. I

fell in love with a pair of low-waist pants that are popular now. When I came

back home, I asked for money from you, but you didnt give me any. How ugly!

Besides, you are still a student now, you should not wear too fashionable,

simple more good!" I just blew up and said, "I want that low-rise pair. I love

that pair. Its not your generation anymore. Ill take!" Say that finish, a palm

slapped come over, you really angry. Crying, I rushed to my room, locked the

door, and cried myself out in my room, crying my grievance. Thought: is not a

pair of pants? Not much money! What a cheapskate not to buy it! At this time, a

small note from the crack in the door came out: baby, dont cry, mother was not

intentional, forgive mother just wrong? Slowly, I began to reflect: I should not

have contradicted you, should not have said sad things to you. I quietly opened

the door, found you are sitting on the chair with paper wiping tears, see me out

and said: "Tomorrow mother to buy you good?" I shook my head vigorously and

said: "Mom, no. Now I am still a student, when I grow up, there are more clothes

for me to choose. Mom just really sorry ~ "said that I cried, you and I hugged

together. That time, I learned a lot...

Mom, if love is as sweet as a flower, then you are the sweet flower of

love. Mom, please forgive me for the mistakes I made before, I will correct

them.

Zhu: Good health

Business is booming

Your daughter: Chen Ting

People always say that spring is the most beautiful season. But I don’t

think so. I like summer, autumn even winter better than spring. Because the

weather in spring is changeable. Maybe it is warm today, it will be cold

tomorrow. I often catch a cold in spring. Besides this, it often rains in

spring. I can’t go out to play ball games. I have to stay at home to spend my

time. How boring it is! Some people think the flowers in spring are very

beautiful, but I think the flowers in winter are more beautiful, because they

live through the extremely cold weather and we should learn from them.

Ocean marine pollution is from domestic sewage and municipal refuses. When the pesticides went into the marine ecosystem, they quickly become absorbed into marine food webs. Once in the food webs, these pesticides can cause mutations, as well as diseases, which can be harmful to humans as well as the entire food web.

About 60 percent of cities are polluted in China. The rubbishes are everywhere. And the air pollution is also very serious. Exhaust fumes, household garbage and industrial refuse all can make our city dirty. So, don’t spitting ,don’t litter, don’t graffiti on the wall!Forest

The forests are being destroyed now. Acid rain, big fire and saws always break the forests unfeelingly, so, they are in danger . The number of forests are becoming less and less. Let’s plant trees and protect the forests together!River

There are many things in the river, like newspaper , oil, chemicals and heavy metal. If we drink the water that’s from the polluted river, we will get sick or die. And the plants which is near this river will die. So, don’t sewage effluent into the river!

Dear Lucy,

I am sorry to hear that you are feeling upset because of some problems met during studying Chinese. You said that you would feel nervous when facing this language and you did bad in listening. You couldnt improve your oral Chinese and you found it difficult to communicate with your classmates in Chinese.Well, dont worry. I will give you some suggestions. Firstly, like English, Chinese is a language,which we learn to communicate. So you need to practice speaking in Chinese as often as possible,which will help to improve your oran Chinese and improve your sense of the language. Secondly, you can listen to Chinese radio program,for this is a very useful way to improve your listening ability. Thirdly, be brave enough to make some Chinese friends.Close friendship will help you learn this language well. And doing some reading will help you learn more. I hope these can help you.

Best wishes!

yours,

Wang Xia

The Hero in My Heart

When people say the word "hero", what will you think? Do you have a hero in your heart? Maybe your hero is a famous singer, a movie star or a great-man. But my hero is around me, who gives me more love than others. She is my mother, the hero in my heart. My mother isnt great in the way of a famous singer or a movie star. She does nothing big, but what she does make others inferior. From her, I learn a lot.

When I was a baby, she taught me how to walk and how to speak. When I go to school, she helps me solve many problems. She also tells me be kind to others. When I do badly in study, she encourages me and tries to cheer me up. My mother is a teacher, and she is always busy with her work. When she corrects students homework, she is always very serious. My mother is responsible to all of her students. She cares much about students study and life, and she tries her best to help students in need.

My mother is a loving mother, a qualified teacher, and a real hero in my heart.

Dear Mary,

I am sorry to trouble you, but nobody would come into my mind to help me

except you.

You know, I had planned this holiday for several years. A t last, my dream

came true. You could imagine how excited I was. My mind was completely occupied

with the holiday. I forgot to collect my laundry. I dont know if you can help

me collect my laundry. I sent the laundry to the Johns. It is the one down the

corner on St. Peters Street. You cant miss it, because the house is painted

green-a big green house. I have got two pairs of trousers, three shirts, one

T-shirt and a blanket. Call a taxi to send you home. I will pay you back when I

am home.

My first stop is London. It is raining. The streets are very clean. How I

wish I could have the chance to see the famous London fog. But someone told me

that was already the history. One can only read things like that about London in

books.

My best wishes to you.

Yours sincerely,

Peter Chen

In my impression, there have been a lot of things, some happy, some sad, some sad, and some are very memorable. And in my mind, one of the most memorable things is that I skied for the first time.

I still remember that day is the lunar new year, we have a father with a colleague came to the Chaoyang park. I see a lot of people, one of the small stalls one by one can be really busy!

We came to the skiing field, which was my first skiing. I walked slowly to the snow in a sled. My uncle taught me some basic writing, and I slipped down on a small slope with sister Xuan Xuan. My sister and I want to slip from the highest place to Xuan Xuan. At this time, the heart of the father and mother in the underneath will jump out. At that time I thought I would skid as long as I had been taught by my uncle. So I slipped off without hesitation. I finally succeeded. My father and mother were happy to laugh, and my uncle and aunt applauded me. I felt very happy this day.

Although it has been a long time ago, I have been impressed. Its unforgettable.

In China, Mid-autumn Day is considered to be a symbol of family reunion. On this day, all the family members gather together at home to celebrate this special occasion. Last year, I could not celebrate the festival with my family because I was in university. However, this special day left a deep impression on me.

I still remember the atmosphere of that evening. All the students who could not go back home assembled in our classroom, having a party to celebrate this traditional festival. We tried our best to show our own enthusiasm. As an ethnic minority, I performed a peacock dance, which received warm applause. After the two-hour party, we went out to the playground and sat together to appreciate the moon because it is a tradition on Mid-autumn Day. We ate moon cakes, played cards, and listened to romantic poems recited by one of our classmates. In that harmonious atmosphere, nobody felt lonely or homesick even though we were far away from our homes.

Thanks to our classmates, I experienced such a colorful and interesting Mid-autumn Day at my university. Thus, I learned to value all the festivals I spent during my university life. 中秋节英文作文（三）

The other tradition of mid-autumn festival is eating moon cake. Moon cake is the essential of that day, which means reunion. As time goes by, there are various kinds of moon cakes, but they are much more expensive than before.

I like mid-autumn festival because my families will get together and have a big dinner on that day.

One possible version:

The problem of “white pollution” caused by used plastic is becoming increasingly serious, in which plastic shopping bags play an important role. In China about three billion plastic shopping bags are consumed every day, which results in a great waste of resources and heavy environmental pollution. Luckily, The government has put a nationwide ban on the use of free plastic bags, demanding that all stores and supermarkets not provide customers with free plastic bags after June 1. The rule will undoubtedly reduce the use of plastic bags and enhance the awareness of environmental protection. It is highly advocated that we should turn to cloth bags and shopping baskets from now on.

air pollution comes from factories, power stations and cars. chemicals in the smoke from power stations cause a lot of damage. they can travel hundreds of miles in the wind before falling to the ground in the rain. but this "chemical rain" gradually destroys trees in the forests and kills fish in the lakes. in germany, over 50% of the country’s trees had been damaged by the year 1986.

time and time again there are serious accidents that pollute the air. in 1986 there was a bad accident at a nuclear power station in russia. a cloud of radiation crossed the whole of europe. it is said that 125,000 people died in russia as a result of illnesses caused by this accident.

in 1984 there was a serious accident at a factory in india and a cloud of dangerous gas covered the town of bhopal. over 2,500 people were killed that night, and hundreds of thousands of people were injured. many of the injured lost their sight.

英文请假条格式

请假条(written request for leave)是英语学习者必须掌握的常用应用文之一，它包括请病假(note for sick leave)和请事假(leave of absence)。请假条是用于向老师或上级领导等因身体状况不好或因某事请求准假的场合。

英文请假条写作需注意三点：

1.英文中请假条的写法和汉语请假条相同， 它一般由四部分组成，即时间、称呼、正文和签名。

2.一般而言，可认定请假条是一种简单的书信文体。请假条一般写在纸上，不用信封。其书写格式与书信有很多相似之处，是书信的大大简化。

3.请假条的特点是要求开门见山、内容简短、用词通俗易懂。

【范文例析】

假如你是王立。昨天你和同学们去农场帮助农民们摘苹果，不幸(unluckily)从梯子上摔下来伤了腿，但伤得不重。医生让你在家里好好休息。因此，你向高老师请假两天(ask for leave for two days)。(2002新疆乌鲁木齐中考题)

【参考范文】

Sep.28

Dear Miss Gao,

Im sorry I cant go to school today. I helped the farmers pick apples with my classmates on the farm yesterday. Unluckily, I fell off the ladder and hurt my leg, but I wasnt badly hurt. The doctor asked me to stay in bed and have a good rest. So I ask for leave for two days. Wang Li

【点评】这是一份采用书信格式写的请假条。日期是September 28, 日期写在正文的右上角。由于请假条的内容大多是当天、近几日因病或因事请假，所以不必写上年份；称呼是Dear Miss Gao，称呼写在左上角。请假条因是向上级请示，一般以Dear...,或My dear...,开头。有时可在Dear之后，用上Mr.或Miss等的称呼加上姓氏。不过，有一点仍要提醒大家，各种称呼后面一般都用逗号。正文谈了一件事：I fell off the ladder and hurt my leg, but I wasnt badly hurt. I cant come to school. I ask for leave for two days. 简洁明了，用词口语化。写请假条只要把请假的理由和请假时间说清楚即可。有的请假条为了说明其请假事由是真实的，在正文之后另起一行，写上I enclose a doctors certificate.(我附上了医生证明。)；签名为Wang Li。签名(署名)写在右下角，签名(署名)上面一行可以写上Yours, Your student等字样，有时由于写条的人和收条的人彼此一般很熟悉，所以在称呼和签名上比较随便和简单。特别是在签名部分，有时可简单到只写个姓或只写个名就可以了。

Halloween means Hallows Evening.It is the evening before All Hallows Day (now called All SaintsDay) ,a Christian holiday,celebrated on the November 1st.

History traces Halloween back to the ancient religion of the Celtics.The Celts were the ancestors of the present-day Irish,Welsh and Scottish people.In the 5th century BC,in Celtic Ireland,summer officially ended on October 31st.On the November 1st,Celtic peoples celebrated the festival of Samhain,which marked the beginning of winter and the Celtic New Year.Celts thought the division between the natural world and the supernatural world became very thin and all time and space was abruptly suspended on October 31st,and then the spirits of the died would come back and move freely looking for living bodies to possess.

Cleaner, I admire you, you should learn silently selfless dedication -.

Most of the people who admire it are famous scientists, or great people familiar with it, but I admire the street angels cleaning workers who are unknown.

I saw a story: a dustman was beaten by a group of small posters when he advertised a small advertisement at the bus stop at the bus stop. Its true that those who put up small ads are obviously wrong, not only do not admit mistakes, but also hit the cleaning worker. Thats disgusting. He doesnt even think about it. Dont you save money for publicity? You cant ruin our homes.

Think carefully, some people because they are humble and belittle them, and because they dirty, see them, avoid everywhere, or even tell the child, do not contact him. But if our earth has no cleaner, the earth will be everywhere is dirty, become people, not out of the house at The atmosphere was foul.. Has everyone thought of this situation? Have you thought about it? Why do cleaners have to clean the city? Is it because cleaners pay a high salary? But they cant afford to buy good clothes. Is it because they love to sweep the streets? Can they all of a sweat. In fact, the cleaner is also because of their knowledge level is not high enough to engage in the cleaning industry. But they still make contributions to society. Cleaner, let our next generation can have a good living environment.

How ordinary and great the cleaners are! They make our city so clean and so beautiful. I think theyre worth a lot more than we do.

Cleaner! I admire you! I want to contribute to the people as much as you do.

Carrying Faggots to Put Out a Fire

In the last years of the Warring States period, the State of Qin attacked the State of Wei on a large scale repeatedly and occupied large areas of land, for the State of Wei was too weak to defend itself. In 273 B.B., the qin army launched another attack upon the State of Wei with a momentum more vigorous than ever. The king of the State of Wei summoned his officials,and asked with a worried look if anyone could propose a way to defeat the Qin army. After years of chaos caused by the wars,the officials trembled when fighting was mentioned, and no one dared to speak ofresistance. At the critical moment when a large enemy force was bearing down upon the border, most of the offinials persuaded the king to sue for peace, at the cost of giving away to the State of Qin the large area of land north of the Huanghe River and south of the Taihang Mountain. However Su Dai, a counsellor, did not agree. He hurried up to the king and said:"Your Majesty, they dont think about the interests of the country at all.It is just because they are cowardly and afraid of death that they ask you to sue for peace by betraying the country. Of course you can temperarily satisfy the ambition of the king of the State of Qin is insatiably greedy. It will never stop assaulting us until our land is totally given away."Once there was a man whose house was on fire. People told him to put out the fire with water, but he would not listen. Instead, he carried a faggot to put out the fire, only to make the fire fiercer. That was because he didnt know that,instead of putting out the fire, faggots could only make it burning more vigorously. Isnt it equivalent to carrying faggots to put out a fire if you agree to sue for peace at the cost of the land of the State of Wei?"Though Su Dais argument was very convincing, the king accepted the suggestion of those officials and gave away to the State of Qin a large area of the land of the State of Wei. For the king of the State of Wei was cowardly and only cared for peace at the moment.As might be expected,the Qin army assaulted the State of Wei on a large scale in 225 B.C.,surrounding the capital city Daliang and flooding it by digging open the dykes of the Huanghe River.The State of Wei was finally destroyed by the State of Qin.This story appears in the Historical Records Written by Sima Qian.The set phrase"carrying faggots to put out a fire"is used to mean adopting a wrong method to save a situation and ending up by making it worse.

战国末期，秦国向魏国接连发动大规模的进攻，魏国无力抵抗，大片土地都被秦军占领了。到公元前273年，秦国又一次向魏国出兵，势头空前猛烈。

魏王把大臣们召来，愁眉苦脸地问大家有没有使秦国退兵的办法。大臣们由于经过多年的战乱，提起打仗就吓得哆嗦，谁也不敢谈“抵抗”二字。在这大兵压境的危急时刻，多数大臣都劝魏王，用黄河以北和太行山以南的大片土地为代价，向秦王求和。

谋士苏代听了这些话，很不以为然，忙上前对魏王说：“大王，他们是因为自己胆小怕死，才让您去卖国求和，根本不为国家着想。您想，把大片土地割让给秦国虽然暂时满足了秦王的野心，但秦国的欲望是无止境的，只要魏国的土地没割完，秦军就不会停止进攻我们。”

说到这里，苏代讲了一个故事：从前有一个人，他的房子起火了，别人劝他快用水去浇灭大火，但他不听，偏抱起一捆柴草去救火，是因为他不懂得柴草不但不能灭火反而能助长火势的道理。大王若同意拿着魏国土地去求和，不就等于抱着柴草救火吗？”

尽管苏代讲得头头是道，但是胆小的魏王只顾眼前的太平，还是依大臣们的意见把魏国大片土地割让给秦国。到公元225年，果然秦军又向魏国大举进攻，包围了国都大梁，掘开黄河大堤让洪水淹没了大梁城，魏国终于被秦国灭掉了。

故事出自《史记魏世家》。成语“抱薪救火”比喻用错误的方法去消灭祸害，结果反而使祸害扩大。
