Westerners how to celebrate Christmas

Christmas is the most important festival in the western world. It falls on December 25th. When my mother and I stayed in America, we were invited by one of my mothers friends to have Christmas with an American family. We bought some presents for our American friends on our way to their house.

They had prepared different kinds of gifts for their family and guests when we got to their house, such as Christmas candles, cakes, cards, little toys, biscuits and so on. A Christmas tree was placed in the comer of the brilliant hall. How beautiful it was! We were impressed by these. We had a big meal. After dinner, they told us some interesting stories about Christmas. We learned that Christmas had something to do with God. We went to bed at midnight. Though we knew the Santa Claus was not true, we were still waiting for the Santa Claus with white beard to bring us presents.And we received many beautiful presents the next morning.

This Christmas was really unforgettable. Not only did I have a good time, but also I knew something about foreign culture.

西方人怎么过圣诞节?

12月25日的圣诞节是西方国家最重要的节日。我和妈妈在美国的时候，曾应妈妈的一位朋友邀请，去一个美国家庭过圣诞节。在去他家的途中，我们为美国朋友买了一些礼物。

我们到时，他们已为家人及客人们准备了各种各样的礼物，有圣诞蜡烛、蛋糕、卡片、小玩具和饼干等。圣诞树放在灯火通明的客厅的一角，实在是太荚了。这一切给我们留下了深刻的印象。我们吃了一顿大餐。饭后，他们给我们讲了一些圣诞节的故事，我们知道了圣诞节与上帝有关。我们午夜时分才上床睡觉。尽管我们知道圣诞老人不是真的，但还是等待着白胡子的圣诞老人为我们送来礼物。第二天早晨我们收到了许多漂亮的礼物。

这个圣诞节实在太令人难以忘怀了。我不仅过得很愉快，还了解了外国文化。

villages.

每个人都有一个梦想。

现在我想说一些关于我的梦。我的梦想是什么?我经常问自己。在我的脑海里，每个人都有自己的梦想。我认为有一个梦想意味着我们有一个想法，然后我们会做所有的事情来实现目标。只要我们有一个目标要实现，我们就不会盲目。

我的梦想是成为一名成功的医生，帮助那些生病的人，挽救他们的生命。当然，做一个好医生是非常困难的，但我会尽我所能做的，以保持每个人的健康。这是我的梦想。我想尽力帮助我们国家的穷人。我想让他们有机会接受良好的治疗，为他们的疾病，而不必付出太多，或只是享受他们的自由。我国是一个发展中国家，需要良好的医药和医生，特别是在农村和偏远的村庄。

现在我是__年级的学生，我所有的同学和我都在努力工作。我们都知道，2009年来的高中入学考试对我们来说是一个巨大的挑战，所以我们必须努力学习，努力去上一个好的高中。因此，在我们完成我们的高中，我们可以去一个好的大学。最后，我们可以找到一份好的社会工作。

我的梦想是，虽然目前我很擅长学习，我还是会尽我最大的努力成为学习者。现在我所做的一切都接近我的梦想。我觉得生活充满希望，是丰富多彩的，我有足够的信心实现我的梦想。

我知道幻想是一件很难实现的事情，但是梦想可以。我会为我的梦想努力工作，我永远不会放弃。

How I Spent My Summer Vacation

The summer vacation had come round again. I was happy that I could forget about school at least for a while. Lest I fool around all through this summer vacation, I made a plan as to how to spend it. First, I thought I should go over all those things my teachers taught in the previous term so that I could have a better understanding of them. Then I thought I should take up some forms of exercise, such as walking, running and rowing, to keep me physically strong. It stood to reason that with such a good plan I should make the best of my vacation time. I did, because I lived up to what I had planned.

Whatever one does, one should do it with confidence. If one has no confidence, there is little possibility that one would ever achieve anything, especially when one is faced with drawbacks or hardships. This troth seems to be self-evident. However, in reality we do see a lot of people who complain that they lack the ability to do ,something or that their difficulties are too great to be overcome,For someone, this might be true. But for many others, this only shows that they have lost heart.

Why do people often feel frustrated even though they are capable of doing some thing? There are, among others, two main reasons. First, these people do not have a correct estimate of themselves. Second, they overestimate the difficulties.

It is passible to build up faith in oneself by having the right attitude towards ones own abilities. We should never underesrimate our abilities but should believe in the proverb: "Where there is a will, there is a way." Confidence is the promise for fulfilling a task successfully.

Christmas Day

圣诞节

Most westerners always celebrate Christmas Day as their major festival, in order to memorialize Jesus.During that time, they always have several days off, so they can enjoy this festival with all their hearts.The children often get together with their friends.The adults are busy with decorating their houses.They also send the postcards with their best wishes to each other. In the streets, there are so many Fathers Christmas sending presents to the passers-by.And everything is on a discount in the supermarkets.Thus the supermarkets are the busiest places.

为了纪念耶稣大部分西方人都庆祝圣诞节作为他们的主要节日。在这段时间里，他们总是有好几天假，所以他们可以全身心的享受这个节日。小孩们经常与他们的朋友聚在一起。大人都忙着装饰他们的房子。他们还互相赠送明信片以及他们对彼此的祝福。 在街上，有很多圣诞老人在派送礼物给路人。超市里面的所有东西都在打折。所以，超市是最忙的地方。

Dear editor,

I’m writing to tell you about the discussion we have had about whether an entrance fee should be charged for parks. 60% of us schoolmates think that an entrance fee do not meet people’s expectations, for a park is considered to be a place where the public can have a good time when they are not busy either at home or at work. If an entrance fee must be paid by the visitors for a park, it will be necessary to build a gate and surrounding walls. In the end a city will take on a bad look. 40% of us schoolmates think that an entrance fee can be accepted, but it must not be too expensive. The money from ticket selling can be used for paying the gardeners in the park and buying some other kinds of flowers and trees.

With regard to myself, I think an entrance fee is useful, for it can be used to protect a park. Do we share the same opinion, dear editor?

Yours truly,

Li Hua

Speaking of Christmas, I would not hesitate to think of the Spring Festival in China, is a beautiful Christmas tree, is an ancient culture of traditional paper-cut grilles; Is a funny Santa Claus, a surplus of the host is on a smile, both seem to have nothing to do, however, the Chinese New Year and Christmas in the west is the same, is the same as a grand festival!

I, a Chinese descendant, but like a western festival to commemorate Jesus. Although Christmas in China there is no deep meaning is spread to western countries, however, many people want to make Chinas Christmas also as grand as interesting as we think --

Since childhood, I thought: Christmas have a Christmas tree, and even if there is no interesting old Santa Claus, students can also be friends each other gifts, if Chinas Christmas is as grand as the Spring Festival this much good, each have a high to the ceiling luxuriantly green Christmas tree, the good has a lot of trees, pieces of fine gifts, hung on the Christmas tree also states the art incomparable big bowknot. People are interested in can also be dressed in Santa Claus when night falls, people are sleeping, carrying a big bag of a toy gadgets dot small snacks, quietly sent a a. Can also put some of his best friend is about to have a Christmas party together in the home, their carefully prepared some small things, although it is worthless, but it is truly priceless friendship; Do a also mean the meal together, he to do not ask, he said fast, then the tomatoes on his face; Decorate the house together, "he said bench points, further to the right as soon as he moves, he stood instability; Beat together, rooms are full of people, he put the pillow was blowing in his face, he will play in the egg on his face...

Adults also play day and night, discussing with classmates outside worry their joys and sorrows suantiankula, and had close friends heart-to-heart talk...

Christmas, if this become vigorous, then people will be the most popular Christmas a holiday!

说起圣诞节，我会毫不犹豫地想到我国春节，一个是美轮美奂的圣诞树，一个则是古老文化的传统剪纸窗花;一个是风趣横生的圣诞老人，一个则是台上笑盈的主持人，两者似乎毫不相干，但是，中国的春节与西方国家的圣诞节是一样的，是一样的一个盛大的节日!

我，一个炎黄子孙，却喜欢一个西方国家纪念耶稣的节日。虽然在中国圣诞节没有什么深刻的意义是西方国家流传而至的，但是，很多人想让中国的圣诞节也像我们想象中那样盛大那样有趣——

自小，我就在想：圣诞节有圣诞树，还有即使是不存在的有趣的圣诞老人，还可以同学朋友之间互相送礼物，如果中国的圣诞节也像春节那么盛大该多好啊，每家有一棵高至天花板的碧绿碧绿的圣诞树，经济好的有好多棵，圣诞树上挂着一件件精美的礼物，还邦着一个艺术无与伦比的大蝴蝶结。有兴趣的人们还可以穿着圣诞老人的衣服当夜幕降临人们都睡时，拿着一大袋一玩具小玩意儿小东西小零食，悄悄地一家一家送去。还可以把自己的一些要好的朋友约到家里一起过个圣诞派对，自己精心准备一些小东西，虽然是不值钱的，但是这才是真正无价的友谊;一起做一顿还意思的饭，他来问做好没，他说快了，然后西红柿就砸在了他的脸上;一起装饰屋子，他说凳子再往右点，他刚一出手，他就站不稳了;一起打打闹闹，几个房间都是满满的人，他把枕头打在他脸上，他又将鸡蛋打在他脸上……

大人们也玩的日日夜夜，在外面与同学们讨论心事自己的喜怒哀乐酸甜苦辣，与曾知心交心的朋友谈心……

圣诞节，如果变得这样轰轰烈烈，那么圣诞节将是人们最欢迎的一个节日!

Some people in the fierce competition of the rough waves swept away, has never recovered. Some people are against the tuyere, set foot on top, on the shore, they succeeded. Because they have much a stick to it. Forefront for them is not a stumbling block, but padding their own foundation.

Born easy, live easy, life is not easy. Life is a process of life. No wind, no rain? It is because of the baptism of wind and rain to see the colorful rainbow; With the pain of failure will taste the joy of success. Turgenev in the rudin, said: "although our life short and small, but great everything is caused by the hand of the people; a life, realize the lofty mission, that is their supreme happiness in life." We are to create this society, inevitably some injury, through the tears.

Life, be about to rush out a way to! In order to cause, in order to struggle in life, despite losing a lot of, but is there will be! And are often more important than lost, it is the value and meaning of life.

How can we predict the future? But only clear conscience my heart! Life, because there is competition, people have power; Life, because of the struggle, the people to the pursuit of excellence.

Dont retreat. Young people, more important is to see tomorrow, seize today, forge ahead in the quiet, perhaps before the sun mountain tomorrow, you created a miracle again!

In the first place, good friends should have their own principles. Weshould take into account the fact that people who insist on their principleshave high quality. Therefore, it is worth making friends with them.

首先，好朋友应该是有他们自己的处事原则。我们应该认识到这样一个事实，坚持自己原则的人一般都是具有高尚的品格。因此，这样的人值得我们去交朋友。

Then, I want to point out that good friends should be full of trust.This kind of person has a pure heart, so we can communicate with each other byheart.

然后，我想说的是，好的朋友应该是充满真诚的。这样的朋友有一颗赤子之心，我们能用心来彼此交流。

Finally, active friends are just like beautiful sunshine. They can lightup our blue mood, drive away the dark clouds and give us courage.

最后，拥有积极心态的朋友就像美丽的阳光。他们能够照亮我们忧郁的心情，驱走乌云，给我们鼓励。

Friends who have above three characteristics will be great wealth forus.

能交到有以上三个特征的朋友将会是我们巨大的财富。
