When doing the same thing, some people success but some fail. There must be

many factors leading that result. In my view, the most important factor is the

difference of confidence, determination and sociability are the foundation and

condition of success.

First of all, no matter who want to success, they must have confidence, as

confidence is the basic need for success. If someone always thinks he can’t do

this or that well, then he can’t finish it well. For example, when a person is

being interviewed, if he doesn’t believe he can do that job well, how can he act

believable, so how can the interviewers trust his ability? Therefore, the

interview is obviously a failure. However, if a person is confident, he can

receive the opportunity to prepare for every challenge easily, which makes

success become closer.

In addition, confidence just the door for success, if someone wants to get

into the house of success, determination is necessary. The determined meet

difficulties always overcome it and insist to the end. On the other hand, if

someone is not determined, he would give up when facing difficulty. For

instance, when doing homework, the person who is not determined always can’t

finish perfectly and even copy from others when he thinks that homework is hard

to finish. However, the person who is determined always can finish it well,

because he know what he really wants and he is able to carry on.

The last but not least is that no one can do anything well by themselves,

so they need help. At that time, sociable is helpful. It is well-known that

success is hard to reach. Therefore, people need others to help them. A sociable

person can get help easily, as he has so many friends. On the other side, a

person is not good at communication, when he gets in trouble, maybe no one helps

him. So we can see the importance of sociability to success.

In a word, there maybe not only confidence, determination, and sociability

are essential to success, but I think they are the most important ones, for they

are the foundation and condition of success.

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.

The tomb-sweeping day as a holiday, are different from pure solar terms.

Solar term is a sign of phenology change, seasonal order in China, and it is

more a festival of custom activities and some memorable.

Tomb-sweeping day is Chinas traditional festival, is also the most

important memory of ancestors and the grave. This grave to commemorate the dead

mans a kind of activity. The han nationality and some minority are mostly in

the tombs. Grave, people to carry goods such as especially fruit, paper money to

the grave, will be food for offering in the family tomb, to use paper money on

fire new soil up to the grave, fold a few branches pale green branches ed in the

grave, and then kowtow worship salute, finally eat especially home. The tang

dynasty poet tu mus poem "qingming" : "rains fall heavily as qingming comes,

and passers-by with lowered spirits go. Restaurant where? Boy pointed apricot

blossom village." Write the ching Ming festival special atmosphere.

Ching Ming festival, also called TaQingJie, according to the solar calendar

for, it is in every year on April 4 to 6, between, it is beautiful spring

scenery spring-out of season, also is a good time to people spring outing, so

the ancients had qingming outing, and carry out a series of customs sports

activities.

Until today, tomb-sweeping day ancestor worship, mourning the late

relatives customs still prevail.

Depending on personal experience, personality type and emotional concern,

we find that some people hold the idea of living in the country, while others

prefer living in the city. In my opinion, I prefer the city life, though it has

advantages and disadvantages.

First of all, city life is very colorful. City is the center of the

surrounding area. So, it is also the most booming place having the best things.

There are many great things and wonderful activities in the city, while there

isn’t in the country. For example, there are KFC, wonderful shopping mall,

delicious food from various places, dancing club, different kinds of activities

and so on. We can also learn the culture from all the countries. Despite city

life is so wonderful, it still has many disadvantages. Nowadays, with the

improvement of people’s living standard, people have more cars and more people

come to city, and then the city becomes more and more crowd. As a result,

traffic jam emerges, which makes great inconvenience for people to go out.

What’s worse, the air pollution becomes serious day by day, which is bad for

people’s health.

To sum up, every coin has two sides. Living in the city also has good side

and bad aspect. Whether like living in city or not depends on individual

thinking. As myself, I like living in city though I know the disadvantage of

living in city.

Mid-autumn day is a special festival in China, which is one of the

traditional Chinese festivals. Itfalls on the 15th day of august lunar month

every year. Our Chinese will celebrate it on that day. I think there are not too

many people can reject he temptation of it. I like this festival very much. I

have two reasons.

First of all, mid-autumn has the deep meaning of reunite. In china, people

regard mid-autumn day as very important, so no matter where they are, they will

come back to their family if there is a chance. They don’t like celebrate this

festival outside, which will make them feel lonely. Thus, they will go home by

all means. Luckily, the government also pays great attention to this traditional

festival. There are laws to make sure people have holidays in that special day.

In the other word, mid-autumn festival gives a chance for family get

together.

Secondly, every family will prepare a big meal in that day. All the food is

delicious. It is good to have a big meal. I think nobody will not interest in

delicious food. The mooncake is a necessary decoration for mid-autumn day. It

tastes good, too. It is the traditional for a long time. How pleased to enjoy

the glorious full moon with mooncake!

This is why I love mid-autumn festival so much. It is funny and happy

time.

People always believe that when there is pressure, there is motivation, it

seems that pressure equals motivation. We need pressure, it makes us keep move

on, with pressure, we know what to do and how to fulfill our targets. Without

pressure, we are just like a child, never grow up, having no idea of

responsibility. It is pressure that makes us become mature, we should have

pressure, it indeed equals motivation at the certain level. While having too

much pressure is bad for our mind, it is just like a burden that presses our

mind, making people hard to take a breath. Nowadays the case of people commit

suicide is increasing, the reason is that people can’t take a breath from much

pressure, they feel there is no hope in life, no matter what they do, life just

frustrates them. We should have the right attitude towards pressure.

8月9日上午，我参观了位于北京市中心的故宫。旧称“紫禁城”，是明清两代24位皇帝的皇宫，已有500多年的历史了。现在人们叫它故宫，也叫故宫博物院。是我国现存的最大最完整的古代宫殿建筑群，由于它在中国历史上的特殊地位和它精美的建筑群体，不仅是中国最重要的文物保护单位，也是世界著名的文化遗产，被誉为世界五大宫之一。

听导游介绍：明朝皇帝朱棣登基不久，在永乐四年(1406年)下诏营建北京紫禁城，永乐十八年(1420年)基本建成，随从南京迁都北京。故宫南北长961米，东西宽753米，面积约为72.5万平方米。大小宫殿72座，房屋9999.5间,据实际统计，共8704间。外围是一条宽52米，深6米的护城河环绕;接着是周长3公里的城墙，墙高近10米，底宽8.62米，形成一个森严的城堡。四个城角都有精巧玲珑的角楼。放眼望去，红墙金瓦，规模宏大，似京城中的一片宫殿之海。

故宫共有四道门，分别是午门、神武门、东华门和西华门。而故宫的正门就是午门，俗称“五凤楼”，因在罗盘上，上午的代表正南，所以午门也是南大门的意思。它的平面呈“凹”字型。正中开了三道门，两侧都有掖门，这种做法称为“明三暗五”。五个门洞都有各自的用途：中门是皇帝专用的，或者皇帝大婚的时候，皇后可以从这里入宫，科考三甲也可以从这里入宫;平时，文武百官走左门，宗室王公走右门;掖门只有在大型活动的时候才开，三品以下的官员按照文东武西分别通过东西掖门，外国使节要从西掖门才可以入宫;在殿试的时候，考生分单双号从东西掖门通过。

从天安门往里走，穿过一片青砖铺地的广场，便到达紫禁城的正门----午门。这里是一个宽阔的庭院，看到内金水河，它自西向东蜿蜒流过太和门广场，上边还有5座汉白玉石桥，随河宛转，形似玉带。桥的北面是太和门，一对威武的铜狮守卫在门的两侧。过桥经太和门便是雄伟的太和殿。

故宫的建筑依据其布局与功用可分为“外朝”与“内廷”两大部分。“外朝”与“内廷”以乾清门为界，乾清门以南为外朝，以北为内廷。故宫外朝、内廷的建筑气氛迥然不同。

外朝以太和、中和、保和三大殿为中心，位于皇宫的中轴线，此外两翼东有文华殿、西有武英殿、内务府等，是明清两代皇帝办理政务、举行朝会及其他重要庆典的场所。

其中三大殿中的太和殿，俗称“金銮殿”，高28米，面积2380多平方米，是故宫最大的殿堂。在湛蓝的天空下，那金黄色的琉璃瓦重檐屋顶，显得格外辉煌。殿檐斗拱、额枋、梁柱，装饰着青蓝点金和贴金彩画。正面是12根红色大圆柱，金琐窗，朱漆门，同台基相互衬映，色彩鲜明，雄伟壮丽。大殿正中是一个约2米高的朱漆方台，上面安放着金漆雕龙宝座，背后是雕龙屏。方台两旁有6根高大的蟠龙金柱，每根大柱上盘绕着矫健的金龙。仰望殿顶，中央藻井有一条巨大的雕金蟠龙。从龙口里垂下一颗银白色大圆珠，周围环绕着6颗小珠，龙头、宝珠正对着下面的宝座。梁枋之间彩画绚丽，各式雕龙，多态多姿。太和殿是举行重大典礼的地方。皇帝即位、生日、婚礼和元旦等都在这里受朝贺。每逢大典，殿外的白石台基上下跪满文武百官，中间御道两边排列着仪仗，皇帝端坐在宝座上。大殿廊下，鸣钟击磬，乐声悠扬。台基上的香炉和铜龟、铜鹤里点起檀香烟雾缭绕。

太和殿之后是中和殿，这是一个亭子形方殿，殿顶把四道垂脊攒在一起，正中安放着一个大圆金宝顶，轮廓非常优美。举行大典，皇帝先在这里休息。后面保和殿是每年除夕皇帝赐宴外藩王公的场所，也是科举考试举行殿试的地方。

穿过乾清门，便进入内廷。内廷以乾清宫、交泰殿、坤宁宫为中心，两翼为养心殿、东西六宫。凤凰逐渐增加，出现了双凤朝阳、龙凤呈祥的彩画，还有飞凤、舞凤、凤凰牡丹等图案。是帝王与后妃居住之所。

乾清宫是内廷的正殿，高20米。殿的正中有宝座，内有“正大光明”匾。是皇帝处理日常政务，批阅各种奏章的地方，后来还在这里接见外国使节。

坤宁宫北面就是御花园。御花园里有高耸的松柏、珍贵的花木、山石和亭阁。御花园原名宫后苑，占地11000多平方米，有建筑20余处。以钦安殿为中心，园林建筑采用主次相辅、左右对称的格局，布局紧凑、古典富丽。殿东北的堆秀山，为太湖石迭砌而成，上筑御景亭，名为万春亭和千秋亭的两座亭子，可以说是目前保存的古亭中最为华丽的。

从御花园出顺贞门，就到故宫的北门神武门，明朝时为“玄武门”，玄武为古代四神兽之一，从方位上讲，左青龙，右白虎，前朱雀，后玄武，玄武主北方，所以帝王宫殿的北宫门多取名“玄武”。清康熙年间因避讳改称“神武门”。是宫内日常出入的门禁，对面有用土、石筑成的景山，松柏成林。整体布局上是故宫建筑群的屏障。现为故宫博物院正门。

故宫，无论是平面布局，立体效果，还是形式雄伟堂皇，都堪称无与伦比的杰作。它是中国古代建筑艺术的精华，标志着中国悠久的文化传统。现在，故宫一些宫殿中设立了综合性的历史艺术馆等，收藏有文物100万件，占全国文物总数的1/6。是中国收藏文物最丰富的博物馆，也是世界著名的古代文化艺术博物馆，很多文物是绝无仅有的无价国宝。

In recent years, the volunteering spirit has spread among the Chinese

people, especially among youngsters. According to a survey, in 20__, there were

about 1,700,000 volunteers who offered service for Olympic Games. Actually, an

increasing number of people become volunteers in China every year.

Volunteering actions are of tremendous benefits to both those in need and

the society. Olympic Games are a good example. As is known to all, volunteers

played an active role in Beijing Olympic Games. Without them, it would be a

tough task to hold this un-precedent Olympic Games. Therefore, we can say that

it was those volunteers who ensured the success of these games.

As modern college students, we should get actively involved in volunteering

activities. By participating, we can learn how to work well in a team, how to

improve our interpersonal skills and organizational ability. Undoubtedly, all of

these are critical for our person growth. So, we should take this chance to

learn and to grow.

It is known to all that China has the history of more than 5,000 years and

the culture influences generations. No matter where people live, they keep the

traditional festivals. Such as the people who live in Chinatown. Though some of

them have been immigrants, they still celebrate the traditional festivals. So in

every corner of Chinatown, the Chinese traditional features can be seen

everywhere. The preservation of the traditional culture is the key to help the

country live so long. After the long period of time, the essence of the culture

part have been inherited while the negative part has been removed. Many culture

even influences the foreign country, such as Confucius Institution, where

foreigners learn Chinese culture and mandarin. Though we are facing the impact

of Hollywood culture, the traditional festivals provides an important way to

save local culture.

The moment I stepped in high school, I have made up my mind to study hard

for the purpose to enter a good university. In the first year, I made a lot of

new friends. All of them were so excellent that I wanted to learn from them. As

the second year has come, I felt great pressure. My scores went up and down and

I felt so worried. I told myself that I should find a way to relieve pressure.

Listening to music was a good way. I would sing with the music and shake my

body, which made me forget everything but the joyous music. Second, I would like

to talk to my friends, because they understood me. We would have some tea in the

shop and then shared our secrets. When we laughed out loudly, all the annoyance

would disappear.

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.
