The animal is the friend of our human beings. We live in the same earth.

Animals and human beings can’t be separated from each other. But some animals

are getting less and less. So it’s necessary for us to protect animals,

especially wild animals. Some people kill wild animal because of money. It’s

illegal. Beside, because of the development of society, human needs more space

to live in, so we explore the forest. Animals have less space to live in. The

number of wild animals decreases year by year. It’s high time to take actions to

protect wild animals.

今天，我做了2件好事。第一件事帮奶奶从山上打了一桶水回来。因为我知道每天都要提着四个桶上山打水，我觉得奶奶非常累，就帮奶奶提了一桶水。奶奶夸我长大了，懂事了。

bucket of water from the mountain. Because I know that I have to carry four

buckets of water up the mountain every day. I think grandma is very tired, so I

今天，我们读了很多关于保护环境的小短文。我想起曾经在我身边发生的事情。

记得是去年的暑假，我和爸爸一起去鹅湖边散步，走了一段路，我就一个劲的喊口渴，于是，爸爸就在路边的小店给我买了根冰棍。我边吃边走，一会儿就吃完了，随手把冰棍棒往鹅湖里一扔。爸爸看见了，马上提醒我说;“可可，不能乱扔垃圾噢!如果每个人都像你一样往湖里扔垃圾，这美丽的鹅湖不就变成了垃圾湖了。”我羞愧的说：“知道了，我下次一定不乱扔垃圾。”爸爸微笑着抚摸我的头说：“地球也是我们的家，我们应该保护它，爱护它，让天更蓝，水更清，草更绿。”我调皮的说：“噢，那就是大家一直说的，城市是我家，环境清洁靠大家。我明白了。”让从那以后，我再也不乱扔垃圾了。

我想爱护环境与每个人息息相关，所以要从每个人做起!

It was sunny and very hot today。 I got up early and helped my parents cook breakfast。 Then I washed the dishes and cleaned the room。 After a short rest I did my homework in the morning。 In the afternoon I went swimming in the nearest swimming pool with my friends。 It was really cool to swim in such a hot day。 I surfed the internet and read a storybook in the evening。 I really had a busy and interesting day。翻译：这天天气晴朗比较热。 我起得很早，帮我的父母做早饭。然后我洗碗打扫屋子。休息一会后我上午做作业。 下午我和朋友去我家最近的游泳池游泳。 在如此炎热的夏天游泳的确很棒。 晚上我上网、看故事书。我这天很忙过得很搞笑。

时光荏苒，又到了一年中最有意义的时刻——共度春节。每个人都盼望着，期待着，家家户户都在忙碌地准备着，当然也少不了我!

一早，我就起床了，接着和爸爸妈妈一起去了趟超市，采购一番。待购物后，我们开心的回了家，回家后，我帮家里打扫了屋子，做了一些力所能及的家务活。一切准备就绪，现在我整期盼着春节的来临!)

Weekends to people mean that people can have two days‘ rest. They can go out or get together at home.

Everybody spends weekends in his own way. Some people relax themselves by listening to music, reading in libraries or doing sports outdoors. In a word, different people have different relaxations.

I often spend weekends with my family. Sometimes my parents take me to visit our relatives. Sometimes we go swimming or go dancing and sometimes I go to read some instructive books. I often enjoy myself at weekends.

周末对人们而言意味着可以有两天的休息时间，他们能够外出或在家聚会。

每个人都以自己的方式过周末。有的人通过听音乐、到图书馆读书或在户外运动来放松自己。总之，不同的人有不同的放松方式。

我常与家人共度周末。有时我父母带我去走访亲戚，有时我们去游泳或去跳舞，有时我们去看一些有益的书。我常常在周末过得很愉快。

[周末的英语作文附翻译

Today, I went to the park with my parents. I saw monkey, giraffe and so on. When we took a break in the lake, I saw a lot of goldfish in the lake. People threw food into the water, then suddenly all the fish came and ate the food. It was a crowd of fish, and I was shocked, but then they went away quickly.

今天，我和父亲母亲去公园了。我看到了猴子，长颈鹿等。我们在湖边休息的时候，我看到湖里有许多金鱼。人们把食物扔到水里，突然所有的鱼都来抢食物。很大一群鱼，我震惊了，不过很快它们就散开了

I have a cat .Its name is Mimi. Its very lovey.My family all like it.

It always plays with me every day .It has black and white fur.As long as we sayMimi,It right away runs to you.

Its very good!so My family all like it!

生命的长度，也许是由几百年，也许是由短短的几天，也有可能连出生都没有，就已经一命呜呼了，生命又是谁能够决定的呢？是谁能决定不让意外、生病… …等危害生命的事情发生呢？种种原因，谁能不面临死亡？现在只能珍惜生命，以及避免发生不好的事。

很多人说要珍惜、保护、尊重生命，但是人人都有做到吗？自认为不自杀、不发生意外，不生病就叫做完全做到，大错特错了!除了自己，还有别人，除了人，还有动物，都应该要被保护、珍惜、尊重。我们如何做，才可以做到呢？弃养狗的问题很严重，所以我们不养狗，就是最正确的事情。

狗就是人的朋友，怎么对待好朋友，就该怎么对待它们，而不是当作驱赶坏人的好工具，或是一只很可爱的会动娃娃。狗虽然不会讲人话，但它会中心不二的在你身边，想到弃养它们的人，是不是很可恶？你在养之前，确定等待他长大之后，还是会继续养，不看外表？你确定有能力吗？还是只是为了看门而已？养它们之前，请三思!养了之后，它也许和它的家人分开了，就只有你唯一一个家人，所以必须也把它当家人，如果你变成狗， 就一定明白，这多么无助，多希望有人爱。

当你弃养狗，接下来的事情，我相信每个人都无法接受，它又失去家人了!它将被送至收养中心，没人喜欢的话，就要安乐死，如果你失去家人，没多久又莫名被关起来坐牢，几天之后，没人想接你回家，你就要面临死亡，发生这种事情，你又不能决定，死的很奇怪吧!对，这是弃养狗的人，做的事情，换做是你，你会无法形 容这种感觉，别人说不公平，其实我们都很幸福，爸妈不会不要我们，它们才觉得不公平吧？为什么是别人选自己，而不是自己选别人，为什么说不养就可能死？狗对人们就是不平等。

我们不该做这些弃养的事情，是谁都不愿意被抛弃，要养宠物，就要好好爱它，不只狗，任何动物都一样，爱它就不要丢弃它，人人有责，大家一起保护生命，才是护生的真正意思!

there are many kinds of animals in the world,but not only the humans.we live in the same world,and we should be friends.as everybody knows,the humans are the rulers of the world today,so we should protect our friends--the animals!

but how to protect them?as first,i think we must stop killing the rare birds and animals,especially the young ones.the second,we have to protect the environment,to make the sky blue,to make the grass green,to give the animals a comfortable space to live.it`s not only for the animals but also ourselves.the last,we should tell more and more people why and how to protect the animals,make everyone do this.

Animals are our humans good friends, we cant hurt them, but some people are for your own sake, regardless of the poor little animals life and to trample them, kill them.

Remember that is one day this summer, I chat with grandma sitting on one side of the road, I saw a cat wanted to cross the street opposite of a piece of meat to eat, who knows, the cat just walked to the middle of the road, a large truck, the driver while riding on the horn, mouth scold a way: "dead cat to go away." Kitten also dont understand the meaning of the driver, the driver has been impatient, he put the pedal to a a small life is so dead in the wheel of a large truck full of cargo. I watched this scene was angry and sad, in order to commemorate the poor kitten, so I want to have this day - July 2, set up to protect the animals.

To this day each year, people all want to contribute to protect animals, to let the small animals spend the day with a light heart, cant let them hurt, small animal no matter by who, they are hospitable, finally, we need to use different ways to promote small animals to human help. Let every man in the world to protect small animals.

Im looking forward to this holiday was born at an early date.

动物是我们人类的好朋友，我们不能伤害它们，但有些人却为了自已的利益，不顾那些可怜的小动物的生命，去践踏它们，捕杀它们。

记得那是今年暑假的一天，我和姥姥在公路的一边坐着聊天，我看见一只小猫想穿过马路去吃对面的一块肉，谁知，小猫刚走到马路中间，一辆大卡车过来了，司机先生一边按喇叭，一边嘴里骂道：“死猫走开。”小猫还没理解了司机的意思，司机先生已不耐烦了，他一踩油门，一个小生命就这样死在了满载货物的大卡车的车轮下。我看着这一幕又气愤又伤心，为了纪念这只可怜的小猫，所以我想把这一天——7月2日设立为保护动物节。

到了每年的这一天，人们都要为保护动物做贡献，要让小动物轻松愉快地度过这一天，不能让它们受到伤害，小动物不管到了谁家，人们都要热情招待它们，最后，我们还要用各种不同的方式去宣传小动物对人类的帮助。让世界上的每一个人都要保护小动物。

我盼望这个节日早日诞生。

I would rather suffer hardships than fail。 In other words， to achieve

success is my only desire。 We all know that there are many factors of success。

Now let me write down the most important ones in the following。

Diligence—Foolish as a person is， he can succeed in his work if he works

hard。 That does not admit of any doubt。

Perseverance—When you fail， don’t lose heart。 Keep on working until you

acplish your aim。

Honesty—If you tell lies or does not keep your words， no one will rely on

you。 I would rather be scolded than cheat (others)。

我宁愿受苦难不愿失败。换句话说，获致成功是我唯一的愿望。我们大家明白成功要素很多。此刻让我们把它们最重要的写在下方。

勤勉――一个人虽然不大聪明，但是他地能做成他的工作，如果他苦干的话。那是不容置疑的。

毅力――当你失败的时候，不要灰心。要继续工作，直到你到达目的为止。

诚实――如果你说谎或不守信，没有人会信赖你。我宁愿挨骂不愿欺骗人。

I like the animals very much, but my favorite animal is my uncle picked up the puppy.

The puppys hair is yellow, his ears pointed, his high, his eyes round and big, black and bright, his nose black and upright, its mouth is small , Its tail long swing to swing, very cute.

Puppy eating food when very cute, I put the ribs into a small bowl inside, he far to see, all of a sudden ran over, first with a smell of the nose, it smelled the taste of ribs, immediately dangling, Big mouth to eat up. Puppy habits every time to see strange things, have to use the nose to smell, when it will eat something crisp sound.

It is always in front of his forefoot on the front, back on the back, he sometimes when he was going to sleep barking sound, as if in a dream.

Puppy and I often play the game is running, it ran like a river when the same action is very agile.

大概两个月前，早上我还没起床，爷爷就叫着我说今天要带我去爬山，由于之前没去过山上，所以我兴奋极了，赶紧穿衣起床，吃完饭后，我的爷爷带着我就出发了，路上我一直东张西望，也忘记了劳累。

突然，我们在路上的草丛里发现了一只小兔子，它静静的趴在地上，前爪上有着明显的血迹，我想要走近一点观察它，没想到它瞪着眼睛，使劲的挣扎了一下，这下血迹更多了。于是我蹲下来，静静地看着它说：“小兔子，你别怕，我不会伤害你的。”一边说着一边慢慢地接近它，它好像是听懂我说话了一样，这一次没有再挣扎了，我把它抱了起来，看了看它的伤口，发现确实有些严重。最后经过爷爷的同意我们将小兔子带回了家里。

回到家，经过我们的包扎，小兔子的伤口一天天的好起来了。它有一身雪白雪白的毛，一对长长的耳朵，红红的眼睛，小小的嘴巴。我每天喂它吃青菜和红萝卜，看着它一天天的长大，又那么可爱，我开心极了，每次看到它，都会想起小时候老师教的歌谣：小白兔，白又白，爱吃萝卜和青菜，蹦蹦跳跳真可爱。我真的太喜欢这只小兔子了!可是爷爷却告诉我，小兔子康复了就得让它回去找妈妈了，不然它的妈妈是会着急的。

昨天下午我又去喂小兔子，远远的我就看见了笼子里空荡荡的，难道是兔子不见了吗?赶紧去问爷爷，爷爷说，兔子可能是走了。看着空空的笼子，我伤心极了，爷爷走过来说，别难过，兔子可能是回家找妈妈了。听了爷爷的话，我有点内疚，兔子本来需要回家找妈妈的，我还想着自己霸占它，真的是太自私了。希望它能尽快的找到妈妈，回归大自然。

动物只有在大自然里才是最快乐的，我们都应该尊重小动物，尊重大自然。这是爷爷告诉我的，而我自己也会牢牢记在心里。

今天是一年一度的除夕。中国人的传统习俗一般都是在这天晚上只吃饺子，我家却年年做“年夜大餐”。看，今年的年夜饭多么丰盛呀！

Today is the annual New Years Eve. The traditional Chinese custom is usually only to eat dumplings on this night, but my family is doing &ldquo every year; the big meal ” Look, what a great meal this year!

下午四点多，我们全家便开始忙碌的工作起来。第一种食物当然还是饺子，它毕竟是传统食物，给它个排老一的机会。和面、拌馅、包饺子我们分工细致，这饺子香不香可就在这和面、拌馅上。馅儿拌好了吃起来香，面和好了薄皮大馅儿更是让人舍不得放嘴呀。当然这包饺子也很重要哟！如果包的不美观谁都不爱吃哟，所以包饺子也是一门学问滴。爸妈把面、馅儿都准备好了，该我大显身手了。我左手捏一个，右手拿一个 ，一会儿，一个个小贝壳似的饺子就呈现在我眼前。第一道工序做完，该到下一步了——做满汉全席。

妈妈准备了近十几种菜———鸡鸭鱼肉样样齐全，还有各种青菜。快看，我家的烹饪大师——“李大厨”（本人的妈妈）来了。只见她右手拿着炒锅，左手拿着勺子，走进了厨房。先炒蒜苔，后炒木耳，最后炒银耳。顿时，厨房里传出噼噼啪啪的爆炒声，同时也飘散出了炒菜了清香。屋外也想起了噼里啪啦的鞭炮声，空气里弥漫上了火药的气息。屋里屋外这热闹的景象混合在一起，真有一番过年的景象。妈妈把各种各样的肉变着花样做出各种各样的菜。我还给这些凉菜、热菜分别取了好听的名字：百花争艳、芙蓉水上漂、莲子鸡汤、水果沙拉……光听这些名字你肯定也早就口水流了三千尺吧！

Look, my master culinary master — — “ chef Lee ” (my mother) come. She saw her right hand with a frying pan, a spoon in her left hand, and she walked into the kitchen.

终于等到了开饭，一盘盘色香味俱全、香喷喷的饭菜端上桌来，我看得眼花缭乱。开饭喽！我狼吞虎咽的把这美味佳肴直往嘴里塞，吃了一个圆溜溜的小肚子。妈妈把果汁和红酒拿出来，倒在高脚杯里。这是我们每年必备的一个节目———新年祝愿（每年的年夜饭前我们都要把自己认为最好的祝愿送给家人）。今年还是我第一个上场，我端起酒杯祝愿爸爸和妈妈———寿比南山，笑口常开，工作顺利。爸爸妈妈也把他们的祝愿送给了我，祝我身体健康天天好心情。然后我们端起酒杯，“干杯”！我们的家真是一个温馨和睦的家庭，我爱我家。

My family is not only a big meal, but also a happy family. I am proud of having a mother who can cook delicious food, and I am proud of having a happy family.

在我童年的回忆中，只养过一个小小的宠物，大家知道是什么吗?一只可爱的乌龟儿!

乌龟儿是我从市场上购买的，那个卖乌龟的阿姨告诉我，这种乌龟儿永远长不大。听了阿姨的话，我对这只可爱的乌龟儿更加的好奇了。

乌龟儿有一个硬邦邦的壳儿，这可是它的“保护伞”哟!它的壳儿是翠绿色的，上面排满了六边形的团，下面也是由六边形的团组成的，只不过是乳白色的;乌龟儿的头一旦有东西碰到了，酒会快速和两队足一起收回壳儿里，显得它特别小心谨慎。这只乌龟儿很特被，头上有个菱形的小红点，特像个“小剑客”。乌龟儿的眼睛水灵灵的、大大的，下面长着一张“樱桃小嘴”;再说说乌龟儿的四肢。它虽然爬得很慢，但动作却很迅速，四肢很灵活;乌龟儿有一根小瞧的尾巴，细得像根毛线。这根小尾巴平时伸出来时一摆一摆的可爱极了!

第一天把乌龟儿买回来是它在小鱼缸里一动也不动的，我还以为它死了呢!过了一段时间，在我和外婆的精心照料下，乌龟儿终于肯把头伸出来了，但有脚步声，它又把头和四肢都收回了它那硬邦邦的“保护伞”里。又过了一段时间;乌龟儿终于和我像好朋友一样，非常开心。

乌龟儿喜欢住在有水的地方(水不能太深)、喜欢吃颗粒较小的龟食、喜欢在平地上玩耍……

动物是人类的朋友，让我们亲近动物、关爱动物、保护动物，让我们从身边做起、从小事做起，让动物和人类成为真正的好朋友!

When I got home, it was very dark. Why? There is no electric. Every year in

Beijing, there is lack of electric to supply. Because there are a lot of

factories. And it is very cold in winter. So the government decided: supply

electric to resident and the factories must stop working. My house is in the

manufacturing district. I was unlucky. It was very cold. So my father use the

electric making machine to make electric. Oh! What a unlucky winter!

当我回到家，这是非常黑暗。为什么呢?没有电。每年在北京，还有就是缺少电力供应。因为有很多工厂。这是非常寒冷的冬天。因此，政府决定：供应电对居民和工厂必须停止工作。我的房子是在生产区。我是不幸的。这是非常寒冷。所以，我的父亲用途电制造的机器使电。哦!什么是倒霉的冬天!

What animal do you like best ?Is it elephant ?Or tiger ?But my favorite animal is monkey . Because they have the yellow skin,a big mouth ,a small nose,and two big eyes .They climb trees quickly ,and they can pick bananas or apples .I think they are very lovely and interesting!

So I hope you to like them ,too.

你最喜欢什么动物?大象吗?还是老虎?但我最喜欢的动物是猴子。因为他们有黄色的皮肤，一个大嘴巴，一个小鼻子，两只大眼睛，他们很快地爬上树，他们可以摘香蕉或苹果，我认为他们非常可爱和有趣!

所以我希望你也喜欢他们。

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 bee 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。

This fish earned its name by utilizing evasion as a way to escape its predators. It bodily leaps from the ocean, reaching a speed of about 35 miles per hour and a recorded gliding time of up to thirty seconds. This can take them as far as 200 meters from their point of exit from the water, which may be far enough to escape pursuit or confuse predators. Fishermen favor these types of fish, but due to their sheer numbers in the wild, none of the 40 different species of flying fish are listed as endangered. While they can be found foraging seasonally along the outskirts of warm water reef complexes, flying fish are primarily pelagic, and favor tropical or subtropical open waters around the equator.

飞鱼得名于它独特的避难方式。遇到捕食者时，飞鱼会采用一种独特的逃跑方式：它会纵身一跃，跳出海面。此时它的速度可达到每小时35英里，在空中滑翔长达30秒。这一跃能使它们飞行200米，足以使它们全身而退或者迷惑捕食者。渔民们很是钟爱这种鱼，野生飞鱼数量众多，所以40种飞鱼中没有一种濒临灭绝。人们发现飞鱼有时会季节性的在温水区近郊地带的杂礁灰岩附近觅食，不过它们属浮游类鱼类，喜欢在赤道附近的热带，亚热带地区的公海活动。

Subsisting mainly on a diet of plankton and small marine life, flying fish are schooling fish that hunt primarily at night. While some sources may find this counter-intuitive, given the ease with which the fish are drawn to light sources, this actually makes perfect sense. Many of the plankton and marine resources the fish favor are slightly luminescent, especially by moonlight, making them easily seen in the darkness. This also provides cover, given the coloration of the fish—blue or grey on top, silvery white on the bottom—so that they are not easily seen from above or below as they feed on the clouds of marine flora. Flying fish generally mate during the autumn or spring, when currents are at their weakest. Females will deposit their eggs on the surface, attached to flotsam, and males will fertilize the eggs. Schools at this time can number in the millions, and constitute a major resource for species that feed on the fish. Because they only tend to live about five years in the wild, their flesh is prized for its purity—free of the heavy metals often found in longer-lived species.

飞鱼主要以浮游生物和小型海洋生物为食，主要在夜间以集群的方式进行捕食。有些人会觉得下面这个说法有悖常理，因为鱼类易被光源吸引，这么说也不无道理。许多浮游生物和鱼类自身都会发出微弱的冷光，尤其是在月光照射下，更是清晰可见。但这同时也为鱼类提供了一层防护，让它们有了保护色：一般在上部会呈现蓝色或灰色，下部呈现银白色。凭借这些保护色，当飞鱼在海底植物中进食时就很难发现它们。飞鱼通常会在春秋时节进行交配，因为这个时期洋流的活动最为和缓。雌性飞鱼会将卵产在海面上，让其依附在漂浮物上，雄性飞鱼再让鱼卵受精。此时在飞鱼的集群中，会有数以百万的成员。而这也为以鱼类为生的动物们提供了主要的食物来源。由于野生飞鱼只有5年的寿命，它们不会像长寿的鱼类一样体内留有大量重金属物质，因此飞鱼肉被人们视为珍品。
