For clothing I have spare money to buy all sorts of pretty clothes. But in the past there were fewer clothes in my wardrobe. For food I usually had traditional Chinese food for every meal rice noodles or a steamed bun. Nowadays I can afford any delicious food including western food. For housing I moved from a cramped and gloomy room to a big and bright flat. For getting around I rode an old bike on my way to work a year ago. At present I drive my private car to travel.

I believe my life will become better in the near future.

For my parents, they are the best people for me, when I am sick, they look after me carefully. When I go home late, they will worry about me. They give me so much, I love them.

Traffic safety, it is people life should pay attention to one thing, otherwise, will cause a lot of consequences, light, disability, or dead. Traffic accident is a very powerful time bomb, was careless, will explode, blown family broken, Fried popular American jails.

Not to say that cant avoid the traffic accident. As long as everyone do not run a red light, no crossing guardrails, speeding... And so on. Do these also can avoid a lot of traffic accidents.

Walk back out at ordinary times, I can see many such examples. Some people in order to quickly on to the bus, dont go zebra crossing, inclined wearing the road; Some learn from comrade liu, willy-nilly, also dont see warnings on the guardrail, straight leap barriers, car to raglan from their side, very dangerous, and the driver in order to catch time, gas exploded, left a turn, turn a turn, make the car and the pirate ship is no difference, the most easily lead to overturn. Dont think we can once again is the Monkey King was dead and alive.

Once, when I passed by the square, suddenly heard a scream behind them. I look back "..." Along with the sharp brakes, a van had stopped in front of a little girl fell down, at the same time a large group of people to come to there, I also in the past. See the girl in shock, his face with white, after a long time, only to cry loudly. The bloody hands really let a person love dearly. Thanks to that girl doesnt matter. This is the consequences of not obey the traffic rules.

According to statistics, the world each year about 1.27 million people died in traffic accidents, isnt that enough? For traffic safety, the minor matter, is not to do.

All in all, an example of this. Life only have once, hope you can have a good protection! Hope everyone should pay attention to traffic safety, safe travel. Life only have once, dont cry because it is a little bit of time and lost their lives! Safety is more important than mount tai.

交通安全，是人们生活中都要注意的一件事情，不然，会造成很大的后果，轻则残疾，重则命丧黄泉。交通事故也是一颗威力十足的定时炸弹，一时大意，就会引爆，炸得家庭破损，炸得人心悲苦。

交通事故不是说避免不了的。只要人人做到不闯红灯，不翻越护栏，不超速……等等。做到这些也是能避免不少的交通事故。

平时，我走出去就能看到许多这种事例。有的人为了快速上到公交车，不走斑马线，斜穿马路;有的向刘翔同志学习，不管三七二十一，也不看护栏上的警示语，直飞跃护栏，汽车从他们身边插肩而过，十分危险，还有的司机为了赶时间，油门都踩爆了，左转一转，有转一转，把车弄得和海盗船毫无区别，这最容易导致翻车。不能以为我们人是孙悟空死了又可以再一次复活。

有一次，我路过广场时，猛然听到身后一片尖叫。我向后看去“支……”随着刺耳的刹车声，一辆面包车已经停在了一个摔倒的小女孩面前，同时一大群人向那边涌去，我也挤过去。只见那女孩惊魂未定，脸色掺白，过了好一会儿，才大声哭起来。那血肉模糊的手脚真让人心疼。那位女孩幸亏没什么大碍。这就是不遵守交通规则的后果。

据统计，全球大约每年有127万人是死于交通安全事故，难道这还不够吗?交通安全，小事为多，只怕不做。

总之，这样的例子数不胜数。生命只有一次，希望你能好好保护!希望大家要注意交通安全，安全出行。生命只有一次，不要因为一点点时间而失去生命!安全重于泰山!

Weekend is the most happy time, I dont have to go to school not only, but also can go out to play with my mother, so I always look forward to the weekend, but I naturally timid, as long as mom has things, I will be locked in the home, where also dont let go.

Although now I have six grade, but naturally I courage is very small, also dont know why, it seems that I later to practice my courage, dont be so timid, so, I can do many things, also dont have mother worry about me anymore.

周末是我最开心的时候，不仅可以不用去上学，而且还可以跟妈妈出去玩，所以我每次都很期待周末，但是我天生胆小，只要妈妈有事情的时候，我就会被锁在家里，哪里也不让去。

今天是周末，按照平常的时候，今天是妈妈要带我出去玩的时候，但是由于妈妈单位临时打来电话，让妈妈加班，我只有放弃玩的时间了，只好自己呆在家里，妈妈临走时告诉我“小强，你一个人在家好好看书做作业，休息时适当看一会儿电视，不要随意出门，以免碰到不良的人……”

我重重的点点头，目送着妈妈的身影消失，拿出作业本认真地做了起来，时间悄悄地从身旁溜过，过了两个小时了，妈妈还没回来，也没有一个电话。我有一点儿害怕，就打开电视，电视正在播放《聊斋》的画皮，那画皮恐怖的模样吓得我心惊胆战，于是我立刻关了电视。

虽然现在我都已经六年级了，可是天生我的胆子很小，也不知道是为什么，看来我以后要练练我的胆子了，不要再这么胆小了，这样的话，我就可以做许多事情了，也就不用妈妈再为我担心了。

Halloween

Halloween is an autumn holiday that Americans celebrate every year. It means "holy evening," and it comes every October 31, the evening before All Saints Day. However, it is not really a church holiday, it is a holiday for children mainly.

Every autumn, when the vegetables are ready to eat, children pick large orange pumpkins. Then they cut faces in the pumpkins and put a burning candle inside. It looks as if there were a person looking out of the pumpkin! These lights are called jack-o-lanterns, which means "Jack of the lantern".

The children also put on strange masks and frightening costumes every Halloween. Some children paint their faces to look like monsters. Then they carry boxes or bags from house to house. Every time they come to a new house, they say,"Trick or treat! Money or eat!" The grown-ups put treat-money or candy in their bags.

Not only children, but most grown-ups also love Halloween and Halloween parties because on this day,they can disguise themselves as personages or ghost as their imaginations will lead them. This bring them the satisfaction of being young.

万圣节前夕

万圣节前夕是美国人年年都会庆祝的秋季节日。它的意思是“神圣的夜晚”，在每年的10月31日，也就是万圣节前夜。但实际上这不是一个真正的宗教节日，而主要是孩子们的节日。

每年秋天蔬菜成熟可以食用的时候，孩子们就会挑出大个儿的橙色南瓜。然后在南瓜上刻上一张脸，把一根点燃的蜡烛放在里面。看起来就好像有人在向南瓜外面张望。这些灯就叫做“iack-o-lantems”，意思也就是“杰克的灯”。

每年万圣节前夕孩子们还戴上奇怪的面具，穿上吓人的服装。有些孩子把脸刷成怪物。然后他们拿着盒子或袋子挨家挨户串门。每来到一个新房子他们就说：“不款待就捣乱!给钱还是吃的!”大人们就会把用来招待的钱或糖放在他们的袋子里了。

不仅孩子，许多成年人也喜欢万圣节前夕和万圣节前夕晚会。因为这一天他们可以根据自己的想象把自己装扮成名流或幽灵。这会带给他们年轻的快感。

万圣节文化可以追溯到德鲁伊教，这是一种爱尔兰、北欧和英国的凯尔特文化，根植于Samhain节的庆祝活动，Samhain节于每年的10月31日纪念逝者。

Samhain signifies "summers end" or November. Samhain was a harvest festival with huge sacred bonfires, marking the end of the Celtic year and beginning of a new one. Many of the practices involved in this celebration were fed on superstition.

Samhain节说明夏天结束或者十一月，是一个丰收的节日。在Samhain节会燃起神圣巨大的篝火，标志着凯尔特一年的结束和新一年的开始。一些做法因为迷信被加入庆祝活动中。

The Celts believed the souls of the dead roamed the streets and villages at night. Since not all spirits were thought to be friendly, gifts and treats were left out to pacifythe evil and ensure next years crops would be plentiful. This custom evolved into trick-or-treating.

凯尔特人相信死者的灵魂会在夜里出没在街道和村庄 。因为他们认为不是所有的灵魂都是友善的，所以就把礼物和好吃的留在外面安慰恶灵来确保来年的庄稼可以丰收。这种习俗演变成了trick-or-treating。

Though PE class is a part of children’s education, many teenagers didn’t

form the habit of doing exercise, they don’t have interest in sports. Enthusiasm

for sports is of great importance, young people should treat it as their

integral part of education.

On the one hand, promoting enthusiasm for sports among teenagers helps them

keep a healthy lifestyle. In the school, students are forced to take exercise in

the PE class, they need to join certain activities. In this way, students live

in a healthy lifestyle, they won’t get sick easily. But after they leaving

school, no one forces them to do so, so they are lazy to take exercise, their

bodies gets weaker.

On the other hand, the enthusiasm for sports can help students enhance

their sense of teamwork. As we known, most sports need more than one person to

do, like badminton and table tennis, these sports needs more than two people.

When students are playing badminton, they need to cooperate, so that they can

defeat others, if they just keep an eye on themselves, they game can’t be

played. Doing these sports will bring students the sense of teamwork, which is

important for their career.

better future. Enthusiasm for sports can make people feel it a happiness to take

exercise.

万圣节是西方国家的节日，传说在万圣节那天，会有鬼。所以很多人在家里制作了南瓜头，晚上来吓唬别人;还有小孩在别人家敲门说着：不给糖就捣乱;还有人用电子邮箱发贺卡来祝福……

万圣节是在十一月一日。在西方的国家，一片热闹：

一个叫红红的小女孩正在跟着一群小伙伴们一起到别人家敲门，口里念着：不给糖就捣乱，快给糖果，不然我真的要捣乱啦。那个人的家打开了门，给了小朋友们糖果，嘴里微笑着说：给你们糖果吃，不要捣乱哦，快走吧，去别人家好好地玩，祝你们快乐。红红和小伙伴们到另外一个要糖果吃，嘴里还吃着香香的糖果，对那个叔叔说：不给糖就捣乱，给糖果吃，不然我们就要捣乱哦。可是那个叔叔非但没有给他们糖吃，还骂了他们一顿：“去去去，你们别来捣乱，别去我家要糖果，你们快点滚出去，去别人家要糖果，别到这儿来。”红红和小伙伴们哭了，垂头丧气的走到另一家，“啊!有鬼啊!”“别怕是我。”一个戴着南瓜头的叔叔说道，原来是你啊，小伙伴们和红红红惊呆了，这位吓唬我们的叔叔竟然是不给我们糖的叔叔，那位叔叔见伙伴们和红红很惊讶，解释道：“大家不用怕我，我只是逗你们玩的，来来来，叔叔给你们糖果吃。”小伙伴和红红领了糖果，嘴里一片欢笑。

万圣节虽然有时又会被别人吓，但也可以要糖果吃。

万圣节是多么美好啊!

Halloweens origins date back to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain (pronounced sow-in).

The Celts, who lived 2,000 years ago in the area that is now Ireland, the United Kingdom, and northern France, celebrated their new year on November 1. This day marked the end of summer and the harvest and the beginning of the dark, cold winter, a time of year that was often associated with human death. Celts believed that on the night before the new year, the boundary between the worlds of the living and the dead became blurred. On the night of October 31, they celebrated Samhain, when it was believed that the ghosts of the dead returned to earth. In addition to causing trouble and damaging crops, Celts thought that the presence of the otherworldly spirits made it easier for the Druids, or Celtic priests, to make predictions about the future. For a people entirely dependent on the volatile natural world, these prophecies were an important source of comfort and direction during the long, dark winter.

To commemorate the event, Druids built huge sacred bonfires, where the people gathered to burn crops and animals as sacrifices to the Celtic deities.

During the celebration, the Celts wore costumes, typically consisting of animal heads and skins, and attempted to tell each others fortunes. When the celebration was over, they re-lit their hearth fires, which they had extinguished earlier that evening, from the sacred bonfire to help protect them during the coming winter.

By A.D. 43, Romans had conquered the majority of Celtic territory. In the course of the four hundred years that they ruled the Celtic lands, two festivals of Roman origin were combined with the traditional Celtic celebratiion of Samhain.

The first was Feralia, a day in late October when the Romans traditionally commemorated the passing of the dead. The second was a day to honor Pomona, the Roman goddess of fruit and trees. The symbol of Pomona is the apple and the incorporation of this celebration into Samhain probably explains the tradition of "bobbing" for apples that is practiced today on Halloween.

By the 800s, the influence of Christianity had spread into Celtic lands. In the seventh century, Pope Boniface IV designated November 1 All Saints Day, a time to honor saints and martyrs. It is widely believed today that the pope was attempting to replace the Celtic festival of the dead with a related, but church-sanctioned holiday. The celebration was also called All-hallows or All-hallowmas (from Middle English Alholowmesse meaning All Saints Day) and the night before it, the night of Samhain, began to be called All-hallows Eve and, eventually, Halloween. Even later, in A.D. 1000, the church would make November 2 All Souls Day, a day to honor the dead. It was celebrated similarly to Samhain, with big bonfires, parades, and dressing up in costumes as saints, angels, and devils. Together, the three celebrations, the eve of All Saints, All Saints, and All Souls, were called Hallowmas.
