我总会盼望着假期的到来。

假日里，我可以骑着单车到郊外去，呼吸一下新鲜的空气，感受阳光的温暖，聆听大自然的乐曲。绿油油的田野，湛蓝的天空，随风起舞的柳枝，翩翩旋转的蝴蝶——原来外面的世界如此美妙。

假日里，我可以美美地睡一觉，忘却一切。忘却喧闹的社会，忘却心中的苦闷，忘却学习的负担，带一份轻松到梦中的桃花源。或者仰望星空，与星星对视，把自己心里压抑的一切都发泄出来。

假日里，我可以坐在书桌前读一本书，可以随着作者的思想去感悟，去体会。我会为主人公的悲惨遭遇而哭泣，可以为行侠仗义的武林人士拍手叫好，可以沉浸在书的海洋里。

假日里，我可以看我喜欢的偶像剧，可以坐在电脑前玩我喜欢的游戏。总之，一切都在我的操纵之中，我想干什么就干什么，没有作何力量可以束缚我自由的心。

假日里，可以找个好朋友谈谈心，吹吹牛，胡编乱造，天南地北的乱谈一番。和着他们去偷杏子，苹果，沐浴在轻松随意之中。尽管有点“小缺德”，但其中却有一丝天真，无邪，仿佛自己又回到了童年的美好时光。

假日，是一片真正属于自己的天空，可以放下自己那张虚伪的面具，将自己封锁已久的心打开，让自己真正的自由起来，让自己从内心快乐起来！

假日，我可以忘记人与人之间的明争暗斗，不再去看别人的脸色行事，可以随心所欲，不受别人的约束。

假日，我心中的向往，永远的盼望……

Last autumn we took a trip to Qianshan by bus.It is about thirty miles from the city.We planned to put up in a hotel there in order to watch the sun rise the next morning.

As soon as we got there,we began to climb up the mountains.How great the sight is!We felt as if we had entered amother world full of beauty,peaeefulness and loveliness.There are hundreds of mountains,one after another.there are magnificent cliffs,one above another.We climbed up vigorously and breathed the fresh air greedily.As the sun was going down,we descended to a little hotel at the foot of the hill,where we had a big dinner,and then went to bed early so as to regain the energy ior the expedition next morning.

Before daybreak,we reached the peak of the highest mountain after a hard groping and climbing in the dark.Unaware of the cold wind,we stood motionlessly,with our eyes fixing at the hr end of the east.Suddenly thin ravs of red hue spread across the sky.As the redness deepened,some mysterious clouds moved across thc sky,dividing heaven from the earth.Just at this moment,up from the brightening far east rose the sun.It was so red and yet so tender that we could gaze at it with naked eyes.and a slight applause from us.the amazed spectators,rang through the peak.Up,up it rose,adding to itself strength and glory at every step.It dazzled with vigour,driving away darkness,cold,and misery from the earth,and bring light,warmth,and happiness to men.

We were completely amazed at the wonder and the greatness of nature.We jumped and shouted like innocent children and we bathed in the first rays of the sun with the peak till it was time for our return.

I am. I was born in. I graduate from senior high school and major in English. I started learning English since I was 12 years old. My parents have a lot of American friends. That’s why I have no problem communicating with Americans or others by speaking English.

In my spare time, I like to do anything relating to English such as listening to English songs, watching English movies or TV programs, or even attending the activities held by some English clubs or institutes. I used to go abroad for a short- term English study. During that time, I learned a lot of daily life English and saw a lot of different things.

I think language is very interesting. I could express one substance by using different sounds. So I wish I could study and read more English literatures and enlarge my knowledge.

假期上有很多开心的事情，但是最使我难忘的是和好朋友麦尹林一起参加夏令营的那段经历。

那是风和日丽的一天，我们怀着愉快的心情出发去清远连山。早上，我们在珠江报社集中，只听队长一声命令：“上车。”我踏着步，学军人那样昂首挺胸地走起来了，神情是那么严肃。在车上，我们有说有笑。在路途中，我把沿途的风景都拍了下来，以便作纪念。

经过四个小时的车程，我们终于到清远的连山了！虽然我是第一次离开爸爸、妈妈出远门，但沿路美丽的风景、认识新的朋友的兴奋及对夏令营生活的期待让我忘记了离乡的孤单。

第二天，我们去了连山的文化广场游玩，那里可漂亮了，我跑到喷水池那里拍了几张照片，又在公园的纪念碑拍了又拍。最后老师还教我们玩了一个游戏——“一块五”的游戏。

第三天，我们上了一节摄影课，知道了摄影的技巧和关于数码照相机的一些知识。老师还讲授了相机的符号和正确使用方法。摄影技巧包括了光圈和快门、构图和用光、感光度、变焦等等，我们都听得非常认真。

第四天，我们全体营员一起到农民伯伯家里采访。我们跟着农民伯伯一起到了田地里，在那里我们认识了许多农产品：有茄瓜，有豆角，有番茄，还有花生等等。农民伯伯耐心地给我们讲解农作物的生长过程，我们都细心地作了笔记。后来我们还摘了很多瓜菜，准备回农民伯伯家里做饭。回到伯伯家，我们一起切菜，一起生火，一起炒菜，就算我们怎么辛苦，但炒出来都是甜的，都是好吃的，因为是我们用努力换取的。

第五天，我们本来是要去看瀑布的，由于天气反常，下起小雨，所以改为制作手抄报了。老师边说边教我们手抄报的格式，使我对制作手抄报也有进一步的了解。原来做手抄报也不是想象中那样简单，制作过程中有一个个的难题让我们费尽心思呀！但是，我不气馁，最后把手抄报做好了，老师还评了我一个“良好”，我高兴得笑逐颜开。

第六天，早上，我们吃完早餐就去了大旭山风景区参观瀑布。我看着从天而降的瀑布，犹如一条雪白的蛟龙，我不由得赞叹起来：“飞流直下三千尺，疑是银河落九天！”之后我们还参观了沙田柚基地，营员们看到那有多又大的沙田柚，更是惊叹不已！最后，我们即将要离开清远连山了，我既开心，又有点伤感。开心的是因为就要回家了，可以见到我日夜惦记的亲人；伤心的是因为要离开这么多朝夕相处好朋友，毕竟大家和睦相处了七天，彼此建立了深厚的感情，心里难免依依不舍。

假期生活，就是这样多姿多彩！在这次夏令营中，我不仅学到了很多书本上学不到的知识和技能，认识到劳动的艰辛、成果的可贵，还认识了很多新朋友，体会到朋友之间应该团结合作，在生活上和学习上互相帮助、互相鼓励。我觉得这个假期的夏令营生活真是太有意义啦！

Traffic safety is everybody＇s business. Records show that every year a lot of people die in traffic accidents. Some of the accidents are due to mechanical problems. However, most of them are the results of careless and reckless driving, and could be avoided. A lot of people disregard traffic signals and rules. They drive regardless of speed limits, run through red lights, drive in the wrong direction, talk and laugh while driving, and turn as they wish without giving signals. They don＇t slow down while approaching crossroads. So many people violate traffic regulations that we cannot put too much emphasis on the importance of traffic safety. Only when everybody thinks traffic safety is everybody＇s business can we be safe driving on roads and walking on sidewalks.

交通安全人人有责。纪录显示每年有许多人死于车祸。有些车祸是由于机械问题。然而大部分车祸都是疏忽而卤莽驾驶的结果，并且可以避免的。许多人无视于交通号志和规则。他们驾驶时不管车速、闯红灯、逆向行驶、开车时交谈，并且不打灯号就任意转弯。他们接近十字路口时不减速。如此多的人违犯交通规则以致于我们再怎么样强调交通安全的重要性也不为过。唯有当每个人皆认为交通安全是众人的事时，我们在路上开车、在行人道上走路才安全。

中秋假日里，我遇到了两件惊险、又有些搞笑的事。

假期第一天晚上，我吃过晚饭，跟着爷爷奶奶去散步。

我们顺马路走着，看见前面一个大约八九岁的小男孩，一直低着头走路，仿佛在思考着什么。

走到一个路口，一个农用车正在倒车，爷爷奶奶便唤我在一旁等着这车开走。那小男孩没注意到那车的尾灯发出的红光，一直埋头向前走。眼看就要撞到车门上，我大喊一声：“小心！”

可是太晚了！他“咚”地一声直直撞到车门上。车主立刻刹住车，从车上跳下来，检查男孩受伤没有。

男孩摸摸自己的前额，摇摇头说：“没事！”

司机说了一句：“你看着点路。”便把车开走了。

可那男孩在我们前面走着走着，头又低下了，看来他没长记性。我必须提醒提醒他，谁叫我比他大呢？谁叫我是个热心肠呢？

我快步跑到他前面去一看，他居然在低头玩手机。我上去拍拍他的肩说：“小朋友，走路不能玩手机，太危险了。我就曾经上过当，走路玩手机，撞到电线杆子上了！”那男孩抬起头，将手机放进口袋里。看我一脸真诚，咧嘴笑了一下，说了句：“谢谢！”便昂首挺胸地走了。

“今晚的月亮，好圆啊！”我高兴地说。

“助人为乐，心情不错呀！”爷爷摸摸我的头，很欣慰地笑着。

假期第二天，我跟着爷爷奶奶去一个餐馆参加亲人聚餐。刚吃到一半时，听到对面房间里闹腾得厉害。突然传出一声大嗓门儿：“不求同年同月同日生，但求同年同月同日死。兄弟！干！”紧接着是一片哄笑声。

一女高音响起：“你们是父子，这是要结拜成兄弟啊？哈哈哈，笑死我啦！”

看来，是有人喝醉了。这些话也逗得我们这桌哈哈大笑起来。

我们吃完饭后下楼时，看到一个中年男人步履踉跄，不知怎的，一脚踏空，便摔下楼去，躺在地上嘴里还在念：“喝！一起喝！”把餐馆工作人员吓得不知所措。所幸楼不高，并无大碍。

奶奶见状，便对爷爷说：“你看他喝醉了酒，好危险啊！险些摔伤。还在外面丢人现眼，多难堪呀！你以后莫喝酒了。”

爷爷若有所思地点了点头：“说的是啊！以后我再喝酒……”

“一个星期不准看电视！”我赶忙接了下去。

电视迷爷爷把我的肩重重一拍，大声说：“好！一言为定！爷爷请你监督执行！”

在场的亲人们都哈哈大笑起来。

中秋佳节，本是万家团圆的美好时光。这个中秋节，我却目睹了这些惊险而又有些搞笑的事。我记下这些事，提醒大家：平安，才能高高兴兴地团圆哦。

丰富多彩的假期生活结束了，同学们的假期一定过得很充实、很快乐吧！我的假期和大家一样难忘，下面就听听我轻松的假期生活吧！

我的假期生活是多姿多彩的。作业减少了，我有更多的时间到室外做一些户外运动。比如：打打羽毛球、踢踢口袋、跳跳绳……可以多看一会儿电视，有许多电视台都为我们放映了四大名着。还可以玩玩电脑、打打游戏，各大网站都开通了打造绿色游戏。

我的假期生活还是很有意义的。我参加了古筝考级，我想这次我会取得好成绩的。因为我每天都坚持把每个曲子弹到非常熟练为止，所以我相信自己的实力，俗话说：“功夫不负有心人！”我还学习了国画，每周上三节课，我也不觉得多，看到自己画的花草，虽然还很稚嫩，但是也会自我陶醉。

学校老师给我们留的作业，我也认真、工整的完成，我会以饱满的热情和学习状态去迎接新学期的到来！

同学们，我的假期怎么样？我觉得我的假期是轻松愉快的、是多姿多彩的，还是有滋有味十分有意义的。这个假期令我难忘。

Halloween always falls on 31 October. It is a holiday for children. On that day, children always wear fancy clothes and masks. And then, they go from house to house to say "Trick or Treat", so that people will treat them with candies. If they don’t receive any candies, theyll play a trick on people. But sometimes if the people are going out, when the children come, theyll put the candies in a carved pumpkin lanterns. Children will take the candies themselves. All of the children enjoy this holiday very much.

Good brother,

It has been some time since I read your letter. Have seen many times, in

the mind also has a lot of words to say, but... I never knew where to start. On

this Christmas Eve night, let me start with memories.

Dude, Im not a pushy girl. In your eyes, I am the little sister in your

memory. I am the single woman who was alone in a foreign country, weak in heart

but strong to face life. At that time, I was alone in the face of difficulties

in other countries, alone for life, simply for survival and struggle. At that

time, I had to be strong. Since my childhood, I have been a happy, carefree girl

around my parents. During those years in a foreign country, stress and

loneliness made me grow up. However, I am still not strong.

Eldest brother, I have benefited a lot from the four years suffering

abroad. I have learned a lot and grown up a lot. Maybe it is gods reward for

me. After coming back to China, my career, life, smooth and peaceful for a few

years. However, I am still lonely, many times, the heart is very bitter very

bitter, as when writing this letter, alone. The tears would flow when I

remembered the things I had buried in my heart.

Brother, I, too, want company. Want to take a persons hand, walk together

after the day, face this complex world together. Just want to be a little woman,

can take a persons hand, a person can be heart to heart, from now on, no matter

what things, all to face together.

These years, and brother has been out of touch. Always remember you once

said a sentence. Friends, is in the heart, no matter how no contact, no meeting.

But in my heart, I always remember having such a friend. Your love and care has

always been in my heart. I havent talked to you in depth for a long time, so

Ill go on.

The reason I have remained alone all these years is not because of the

conditions I set for my partner. I want a person, actually very simple. Ha ha,

big brother, dont laugh at me. I just want a little love.

In this day and age, all people will tell me that nothing is more illusory

than love. But I, still stubbornly looking forward to, there is a warm, real

person can appear.

I, however, is an ordinary woman, but also just want to live an ordinary

day. Fall in love with someone, then face life with him, work hard for the

future together, raise a child together.

Several times during the blind date, the plain man sitting opposite asked

me, what do you want from the man. A house? Income? Or a car. Can face such a

problem, I always cant speak, only smile, the heart of despair and pain began

to spread...

Brother, I am just a woman with a strong exterior and a soft heart. So,

now, what kind of person do you think I should accept at the time of blind date?

Im not asking for a strong man, as you say. I just want a gentle, understand

life, know love, know how to cherish people.

Life is short. You can let yourself, and live for yourself is even shorter.

But sometimes also want to do not cooperate with their parents so unfilial, will

also think, perhaps, marriage is a can not be so selfish thing, even if it is to

comfort their parents, also should let their marriage as soon as possible.

Xi an, the city we live in now. Old and elegant. Is the home that has been

on my mind when I was a vagabond. In the next year, I will continue to live in

this city in a down-to-earth way. I hope that there will be one person who can

fall in love with each other in a down-to-earth way. This is a Wish made on

Christmas Eve.

People always say that we should not judge a person from his appearance. In

todays society, the mass media is like the appearance, what they report will

decide the way that people treat things. For most foreigners, before they come

to China, they dont know about this country. What they learn is from the mass

media, the worse thing is that the media always report the negative sides. So

when they come to China and realize things are much funny here. Before we make

judgment, we need to search the overall information, or it is better for us to

pay a visit. The way we treat things decides what kind of person we are.

From a first grade to now, I most respected teacher is teaching us Chinese teacher David, David teacher long is very beautiful, she is a tall, thin, curved eyebrows under have a pair of intense big eyes, her smile will show two sweet dimples, appear very cordial. She is not only lively and interesting in class, but also strict in our study. I like her very much.

Teacher Davids lectures are lively and interesting, and each class is immersed in a happy atmosphere. Sometimes David teacher give us face turned red when content is excited, the students all listened with relish, sometimes, the teacher let us arranging, play according to the content of the text will make her rich expression, funny action, yinde classmates laughed, each lesson we all spent in happy learning.

Teacher David is very strict with us. Once, my homework was almost finished, and there were only a few words left. I managed to cope with the past. The next day, the homework was sent down, and I looked at it and said, "is this like a word written by a serious student?" I was so sorry to see other students who got full marks. In the evening, I read a word in a word and actually wrote the homework. When the homework was sent back, it was 100 plus star! I am very happy, deeply realized that it is the teachers little drops of my request to me to make continuous progress!

Not only did miss David strictly request us, but she also cared for and loved us, and sometimes played with us like friends. I was very happy to have such a teacher. When I grow up, I will be a good teacher like David.

Dear Emily,

Im glad to learn that youre interested in China. Im more than happy to introduce you more of China. China, being one of the four ancient civilizations, has a long history and therefore there are many places of ancient sites. Besides, China has a vast region hence many beautiful natural sceneries are found in China as well. And due to the long history and vast area, there are in total 56 races living harmoniously with huge populations in China. China has not only ancient sites and sceneries, also she has modern metropolitans such as Hong Kong and Shanghai which attracts millions of travelers each year As an old saying, talking is nothing more than seeing. I hope you can come and visit China yourself and view these beautiful sceneries with your own eyes.

Yours Sincerely,

Hua Li

Can you see two pictures on the wall？

并不是每一段故事都能够演绎完美的，看完《罗马假日》心里痛痛的，男主人公似乎在公主的寒舍走了很久很久的路，连公主也有自己不喜欢的生活，更何况我们凡人呢？

我想，每一个爱好幻想的女孩，小时侯都会有那么一点点公主情结，当看到童话故事里的公主时，总是幻想自己就是那个高贵的公主，头戴皇冠，穿着漂亮的花裙，有大群的仆人跟着，随心所欲，长大了，一个英俊的王子把她娶回家……这样的故事，在女孩子粉红色的世界里，总是乐此不疲，越演越精彩。

突然有一天，一个真正的公主厌烦了皇宫里刻板、沉闷的生活，她向往宫外的广阔辽远，自由缤纷。于是深更半夜里，从来没有独自出过皇宫大门、不知道钞票为何物、甚至不会自己穿衣服的公主，偷偷地爬过宫殿的高墙，来到了民间。赫本演的就是身为王位继承人的某国公主，来罗马访问。各种繁琐乏味的外交活动，让公主觉得枯燥不堪。

于是，她在傍晚从使馆出逃。高贵任性童心十足的公主，走出皇宫的两天里，不但爱上了五光十色的平民生活，而且还爱上了英俊潇洒的记者乔。

但在经历了自由芬芳的恋爱后，无奈的她最后还是回到了那个冷冰冰的皇宫，回复她本来的生活，履行她作为皇室成员的出访职责。

但她的善良，她的纯真，感染了她的朋友，当初为了回美国而接近她的乔，想通过她的新闻去赚钱的摄影师，将永远记着她。影片的最后，坚强的公主戴着高贵的皇冠，在新闻发布会上，对着近在咫尺的爱人，将盈盈泪光锁在深情的大眼睛里，矜持地和各国使节记者道别，临走前那饱含哀伤和愁绪的回眸一笑，令乔顷刻间失魂落魄，也令观众无不动容。此去一别，天涯万里，再不可能有重逢的时候了。

但是，公主却笑着，所有的痛苦隐藏在笑靥下，但那种美丽的忧伤，却如此叫人颤粟。

我爱赫本，爱她塑造的美丽公主，爱公主美貌后面的坚强，爱坚强中的真诚。爱《罗马假日》，是爱那个浪漫故事里散发出来的纯真和善良，爱主人公的隐忍和无私。也终于明白，爱一个人，有时就是放手，就是远去，就是一瞬的凝眸不舍和永远的两心相望。

男女主人公的交集或许就此终结了，有一天，当自己有能力，能够把过往的生活中的精华也能穿成感人的故事，我想文笔也就该到成熟的时候的了吧。

把自己放纵了一段时间，原来放浪形骸就是这样，就像那个没有自由得公主渴望着出去过一种世俗的生活，却一直被困在笼子里，无法挣脱宿命的安排，当歌声中的伤感被风吹散时，抖落一身的疲惫，开始探寻出属于自己的道路，继续当初的梦想。

或许仅是一场人生，一场梦，走过了，疯过了，转身时就把背影留下在相逢的驿站了吧。即便如此，也要高傲而灿烂的走完人生最后的路。因为你的世界曾经有人陪你度过了一段快乐的罗马假日，在假日结束时，泪水中泛着微笑，我想人生也就是这样了吧。

Father, how great words; The father love, how beautiful melody. Dear dad,

when busy, can you find such a festival of fathers day?

Today, is my dads first holiday, I carefully prepared a card, then tape

posted a petal in the upper left corner. It with the aromatic, with my feelings,

as the wind blows gently, the beautiful kind hearts float into dad.

The father loves the warmth in June and Thanksgiving. When I was in

elaborate greeting card, write the handwriting which asm, I hand in trembling,

my heart in the jump, the sincere words from time to time pull at my heart!

In fact, fathers love is gentle, father use it rough hands stroked my head;

Dad with his warm words of comfort me; When he humorous language make me

laugh... At that time, I really realized the father loves the also gentle.

Dad is the pillar of the family, when his broad shoulders to assume the

burden of the family; When I found a piece of white silk on his head; When I

find the wrinkles on his face. My heart is with sour.

Generation of letters, mostly because their children mother selfless and

moved, so for the selfless love left countless love. And for the whole family

outside the hustle and bustle of the father? Nothing left.

Here, I want to sing loudly fathers love is great!

The Lantern Festival (元宵节) is the last day of the Chinese New Year celebration.

This day is for the last moment for setting off fireworks, the last excuse for eating a big feast and the last chance for family getting together before the “年” celebrations are over. (Latern Festival is also a traditional time of celebration for foreigners who live in China).

The Lantern Festival, the 15th of the first month of the lunar calendar, is the first full moon of the year.

Celebrations and traditions on this day date back to the Western Han Dynasty.

Traditions for this festival: as the name indicates, hanging and looking at lanterns is the main tradition.

Lanterns of various shapes and sizes are displayed on trees, or along river banks.

Parents often take their children to Lantern Fairs and sometimes lucky kids even get a mini toy lantern.

Another tradition is guessing lantern riddles. These are riddles that are hung on lanterns for people to shoot down and solve. The riddles are usually short, wise, and sometimes humorous.

The answer to a riddle can be a Chinese character, a famous persons name, a place name or a proverb. This tradition has become a popular game with serious staying power even as social development changes other traditions.

Other than that, the most important thing to do today is to eat sweet dumplings. In northern China, sweet dumplings made of glutinous rice flour are called “元宵” while in southern part they are called “汤圆”.

Typical sweet dumplings are filled with black sesame sauce, sweetened bean paste, or hawthorn. Making “元宵” today is like a game or an activity, so its seldom done without a reason and a group of friends or family present to help out.

假期的前一天，儿子兴奋地对爸爸说：“爸爸，明天就放假啦，带我出去玩吧！”爸爸面无表情地拒绝了他，淡淡地说了句：“不行，放假了就在家里好好休息。”

话音刚落，儿子就跑进房间钻进被窝里大声痛哭起来，儿子哭着哭着就睡着了。这时爸爸走进儿子的房间，他看见红肿着眼睛的儿子和被泪水打湿的床单，感到很羞愧。

于是爸爸叫来了邻居。邻居问道：“你找我来做什么？”爸爸说：“我想给儿子一个惊喜。”接着他凑到邻居耳边，跟他说了几句悄悄话。邻居点了点头，爽快地答应：“我愿意帮助你，说吧，我该怎么做？”

爸爸说出了他的办法，他们俩一起把儿子和儿子的小床抬到了车上。一路上他们没有发出任何声响，小心翼翼的，生怕会吵醒儿子。交警知道怎么回事以后，也提醒附近的行人保持安静。

到达了目的地，爸爸和邻居把儿子以及儿子的床抬下了车。接着，爸爸把车开到了树林里，并让邻居坐在车上，自己躲到儿子身旁的大树后。

天亮了，太阳越升越高，儿子被温暖的阳光惊醒了。儿子睁开眼睛，天啊，怎么回事！马儿在悠闲地走来走去，兔子正趴在地上吃萝卜，牛羊低着头在吃着青草，公鸡带着母鸡和小鸡在捉虫子，小鸟在空中边飞边唱歌。抬起头来，空中还有一朵朵洁白的云……

儿子惊呆了，被眼前的美景震撼了。这时，爸爸从树后走了出来，对儿子说：“宝贝，这安排怎么样？高兴吗？这是我给你的惊喜！”儿子听了开心地回答道：“爸爸，太棒了！我太高兴了！谢谢你送给我这么棒的惊喜！”
