Home is the warmest place in the world and a sweet home makes every family

member feel happy and comfortable. So, how to make a home sweet?

First, respecting and understanding each other is the key to make a home

sweet, especially living in a big family. Everyone in the family has his or her

own opinion and has different way to deal with the matters, and it is impossible

to make family members see eye to eye with each other. Therefore, when we are

meeting different opinions, we need to give our respect and understanding to

each other.

Second, communication is another important factor to make a sweet home.

Communicating with family members is a good for us to know each other and

strengthen the relationship. Thus, no matter where we are, keeping in contact

with each other is definitely important.

Finally, humor can add more sweet to our home. Humor is a good way to

adjust the atmosphere in a family and close the relationship between family

members. Hence, if there is going to have a quarrel between family members, try

to use your humor to solve it in advance.

In a word, to make a home sweet needs the effort of every family

member.

Every year, Spring Festival makes me happy, because I can spend a long

holiday to stay with my families. On the New Year’s Eve, all the families got

together. We woke up early in the morning and then my mother started to purchase

some food to prepare the big dinner. I helped my mother to bring the food.

Before dinner, there was a tradition in my hometown. We needed to bring the

chicken to take a bow to our ancestors, showing our respect and gratitude. When

the dinner’s ready, we ate happily and talked a lot. Then at night, the families

pasted the New Year’s scrolls and decorated the house. What a harmonious

environment and we enjoyed the family hour. In the next few days, I visited a

lot of relatives. It was a good chance for us to communicate with each

other.

New York is the first big city in America. It is the world’s commercial

center and there are many sites that attract people from all over the world to

take a visit. One of the famous sites is the Statue of Liberty. Everybody knows

this great site and it has become the symbol of New York.

The Statue of Liberty stands on an island of the New York City harbor. It

is the tallest building ever built. When people get there, they will see a woman

holding a torch of fire. In her feet, people can see the chains that are broken,

which means she gets away from the restrictions and chases for freedom. There is

a book on her right hand, which is the Declaration of Independence.

The complete name of this statue is Liberty Enlightening the World. It is

the present from French people to American people. The meaning of friendship and

freedom are shared by both countries. Today, the meaning of the Statue of

Liberty is shared by the world. People can feel the peace when they see this

image.

大家说：“朋友多，好办事。”这句话真说到我心坎上了。我的朋友多得很，像周日昂、周峻松、陈皇辰张。数不胜数，可他们帮助或教育我的事更是不胜枚举。

在一个热得不能再热的一天，我和张锃烨在像是烧红了的钢铁似的马路上走着，脸上看不见汗水，早被蒸发了。

太热了，想买雪糕吃，但是。手头上紧，经济危机，没有钱。走着走着，一张拾元钞票出现在眼前，犹如夏天吹来一阵凉风，不对，现在就是夏天，没有风。犹如夏天见到了一根雪糕。我起了贼心，眼睛眯成一条线，眼珠射向张锃烨，说：“嘿嘿，真是天降横财，咱们拿去买根好点的雪糕。”我竖耳倾听张锃烨附和的话。谁知，张锃烨拾起钱说：“老师不知从‘几个世纪’前都说过要拾金不昧。”我说：“可咱们拾到的不是金子。”“反正都是一样。”于是他拿着钱傻子似的四处问。我也无可奈何地去帮忙。

我们口干舌噪，只好交给警察。警察叔叔表扬了我们，我惭愧地低下了头。我们迈着轻松的脚步离开了火热的街道。

我是个爱哭的女孩，天生胆小，可是胆小爱哭的这个缺点却导致许多人都不想和我做朋友。于是我开始改正这个缺点，慢慢弥补自己的弱点，可是其他人却没有看见，每次见到我都不理睬，有人虽然跟我说话，却总是时不时说我的坏话，给我起外号，甚至有人还欺负我，这让我失去了信心。

一年级刚入学时，我认识了一位朋友——武梦希，她是那么天真可爱。直到现在她还是我的好朋友，我高兴她也高兴，我伤心她也伤心，并且安慰我，我忘带东西，她总是借给我。除此之外，她还帮助我很多，我和她就像亲姐妹一样那么亲密。每次和她玩，就仿佛自己的快乐是掌握在她手上。

有一次，我上计算机课用的脚套忘拿了，着急地快哭起来了，武梦希见了，对我说：“高蕴珂，你怎么了？”我把我忘带脚套的事告诉了她，她二话不说，从怀里取出一副脚套塞进我的手里。“那你怎么办？她笑着说自己还有一副。可就在那堂课上，她因没有脚套被老师罚站了一节课，原来她是骗我的。”叮铃铃，叮铃铃，下课铃响了，我脱下脚套，在楼道里四处张望，找武梦希，突然武梦希站到我面前，我刚要还给她脚套，她却调皮地眨了眨眼睛，对我说：“给你用吧，免得以后又忘带了！”我正要对她说一些歉疚的话，她突然拉着我的手说：“站着上课其实很舒服的。”我的眼泪流了出来，不知对她说些什么，只是将她的手握的更紧了。

武梦希，这么一个乐于助人的朋友，难道不值得我信赖吗？

武梦希，你永远是我最好的朋友，一个让我充满感激的朋友。

The Dragon Boat Festival is a traditional festival of the han. It is a very important festival in our hometown, so every year the Dragon Boat Festival is very busy.

The Dragon Boat Festival is the most indispensable, nature is zongzi, every year the grandmother of the Dragon Boat Festival and everyone will pack hundreds of big dumplings! There are many kinds of dumplings, such as reed leaves, bamboo shoots, wild leaves and lotus leaves. But our hometown is a lot of reeds, so most of them are wrapped in reeds. First, grandma "rate the army" to pick reed leaves. When picking reed leaves, a large family listens to grandmothers labor trumpet: "come on! A zongzi three leaf! Hundreds of zongzi thousands of pieces, hey, come on!" Listen to the drum of the "general", "little soldier" more effort! After the reed leaves, just burn them. But the preparation material is not so simple, still have to go to the bazaar to buy the good red bean, the pork, the peanut, the plate millet, the jujube and the glutinous rice, also buy the red line!

Of course, the most fun time is when you make zongzi. When making zongzi, the man is responsible for cutting the meat into small pieces. Women are responsible for the washing of red beans and glutinous rice. The child was responsible for washing the basin clean, and then putting the mans work in a large basin. The older people are in charge. When everything is ready, the dumplings are started. The adults are working harder, and the kids? Is playing in a side, always when the adults do not pay attention to, to steal a couple of dates, mouth on the surface seems to be a little things didnt do, but in my heart secretly complacent - because jujube is delicious!

The final step is boiled dumplings, grandpa always keep the temperature of fire to grasp well, smell very sweet, very strong, if eating zongzi in the first, you can see the meat dumplings are always tender oil and see jujube rice dumplings are always the golden tender; The eight-treasure zongzi is always delicious, and we are cute.

Last year, my grandparents might have made zongzi, if they hadnt taken care of my uncle and aunt in yancheng. I was suddenly "disgusted" with my uncle, aunt, who had a good economic condition, why not find a babysitter? Take my joyful Dragon Boat Festival and zongzi all "take away", I be so angry! Or miss the delicious dumplings!

端午节是汉族的传统节日。在我们的家乡算得上是个特别重要的节日，所以每年的端午节都过得异常热闹。

端午节最不可少的，自然是粽子，每年端午节外婆和大家都会包上几百个大粽子呢!包粽子虽然有很多种，比如芦苇叶、竹笋叶、菰叶、藕叶等。但我们的家乡是芦苇比较多，所以大多都用芦苇叶包了。首先，外婆“率兵”去采芦苇叶。采芦苇叶时，一大家子听着外婆的劳动号子：“加油!一个粽子三片叶子!上百个粽子几千片，嘿哟，加油!”听了“将军”的鼓劲，“小兵”们更加卖力了!采完芦苇叶，现在只要将它们暴晒就行了。但准备材料可没有这么简单哟，还得去集市上买来上好的红豆、猪肉、花生、板粟、蜜枣与糯米，还要买红线呢!

当然，最好玩的时候还是包粽子的时候。包粽子时，男人负责把肉切成不大不小的块儿;女人负责洗红豆、糯米之类的;小孩负责把大盆洗干净，再把大人加工好的东西装在大盆里;而老人们则负责指挥。一切准备好之后，就开始包粽子了。大人们干得格外卖力，而小孩们呢?却在一旁玩着，总是在大人们不注意时，偷一两颗蜜枣往嘴里塞，表面上似乎一点儿事都没做，可心里却暗暗自喜——因为蜜枣太好吃了!

最后一步就是煮粽子，烧火的外公总是把火候把握的很好，味道很香、很浓，如果在第一时间内吃粽子，你看到的肉粽子总是嫩地流油，看到的蜜枣粽子总是金黄柔嫩;看到的八宝粽子总是很可口，我们可爱吃了。

去年，要不是为了去盐城替舅舅、舅妈照顾表哥，外公外婆可能在包粽子哩。我突然有些“厌恶”舅舅、舅妈，他们家的经济条件不错，为什么不找个保姆?把我的欢乐端午节和粽子都“夺走了”，我好生气呀!也好怀念那味香色美的粽子呀!

朋友，是每个人生活中不可缺少的一部分。他们可以带给你无穷无尽的收获。我就有这样一个朋友，是他激起了我心中积极的那一面。

她，又高又瘦，斜斜的刘海遮住了额上几个红色的青春痘。杂草般的头发翘在头顶。炯炯有神的大眼睛犹如天上的星星，一闪一闪的。两个小小的酒窝一说话就凹了下去。

有一次，老师上公开课——《金色的脚印》，我们准备充分，就等星期四来临了。大家都认为自己所有问题都能答出来，所以自信满满地看着老师。

突然老师话锋一转，问了个听似简单的问题——本文大致内容是什么？全班人都低下头沉思。我突然想到他不是写了么？为什么没有举手呢？我趁机看了他一眼。

他握紧拳头，急得好似热锅上的蚂蚁，不知道应不应该举手。我想他大概是怕说错了吧！我清清楚楚地看见，他的额头上冒出了冷汗，一只手终于慢慢的举了起来。老师仿佛在黑暗中看见一丝光明，说：“请你来说说看。”

“这篇课文主要讲述了老狐狸给被抓的小狐狸喂奶，为了救出小狐狸在正太郎家的地板下做窝，和正太郎关系日益亲近……并救了……正太郎的故事。”我看见他双手握着拳头，腿在轻微的抖动，说话声有些断断续续，脸上却装作正定。

老师让他坐下，他悄悄的摆了个胜利的姿势，脸上露出喜悦的笑容。我的行动激起了我想举手的冲动。我回答完问题，他看着我，仿佛在对我说：其实就算错了也不会怎么样，你越过了心里的障碍，真是好样的！

朋友，真的会让你受益无穷！

激动人心的时刻到了，在2009年的最后一天，我怀着激动的心情等待着2010年的到来，在2009年，我笑过，哭过，开心过，伤心过;。

可朋友们依旧在我身旁不停的安慰我，我很高兴，那么，即将在2010年分离，我对她们有万分不舍，好不容易遇到的知己又这么快的从身边匆匆流走了!

朋友们，我祝福你们希望在2010年你们的梦想可以实现，大概我们的梦想是一样的——考上高中!

其实，凡事都有个为他人着想，不要事事都想这自己，自私往往会让人失去好多朋友，我是一个例子：2009年的夏天，我和一群小伙伴都在一旁玩，妈妈说：“你去买雪糕吃把，这么热!

”我笑着回答说：“好啊，我也有点渴了!

”说完，我立即转身对小伙伴们说：“你们回去把，我要去买雪糕了，不和你们玩了!

”说完，便拿着钱跑了，回头望望小伙伴们，有个个有都有点生气了，那时我就有点后悔了：我不该这样，我记得我们曾经说过，有福同享有难同当，我不应该不请他们一起去吃雪糕!

那个夏天是我最不快乐的夏天!

朋友是那样的重要，也需要一点关心，所以我们得注意他们的感情!

朋友，我们一起向梦想进发把!

我最好的朋友叫小林，大家知道我怎么和他认识的吗？不是从学校，也不是小时候就认识的呢，想知道吗？那就继续看下去吧！

我和小林啊，可以说是不“打”不相识呢！大家都以为是我们一起打过架吧？嘿嘿！怎么可能呢！我们是打篮球的时候认识的呢，因为我有早睡早起的习惯，所以，我每天早上就会去附近的篮球场上练球，第一次去的时候，我心想：“这么早，肯定没人去练球吧，到时候肯定就我一个人，练球也就更容易了，哈哈！”但是，去到之后，我竟然看到有一个身形和我差不多的男孩在那打篮球，想必年龄也是跟我差不多，我十分郁闷，想：”这次肯定是意外，怎么可能除了我，还有人那么早起来的呢。“之后，我练了一会儿，就回家了。第二天，我更早来到了篮球场，这次，我想：”哼，今天我更早来了，我就不信那个人还在！“去到之后，我真是大吃一惊，没想到那个人竟然还在那打篮球，之后，第三天，第四天，第五天……直到一个月后，我天天都有去打篮球，一天比一天早一点去，没想到那个人竟然每天都在那打篮球，而且还比我早！我就开始佩服他了，然后我就有意跟他交个朋友，他也告诉我很敬佩我的毅力，之后，我们就互相留了电话，还一起约好了每天几点来一起打篮球，我们也会互相指点和给一些意见，渐渐的，我们也成为了好朋友呢！这就是我和我好朋友小林认识的过程。

To be honest, Im honored to make friends with you. I still remember the days when we were together. As far as I know, you are the kindest person in the world.

Next time we have a chance to see each other, I will say "thank you" to you. Thank you for your kindness. Now I have got the meaning of my life.

Last but not the least, I hope you can make it and have a bright future.

最后但并非最不重要的是我希望你能有一个光明的未来。

大家都知道，动物是人类的朋友，我们和动物们一起睦相处难道不是好事吗?你想知道我的动物朋友是谁吗?快随我一起来看看吧!

它，身披着一层柔软的棕色皮毛，拇指大的脸上，镶嵌的一对黑宝石般的眼睛，小巧玲珑的鼻子两边各长着七八根胡须，尖尖的小嘴末梢微微地向上翘起。友善的面对周围的一切。可这些呀，都是假象，它才不友善呢!

记得我第一次给他喂食时候，手刚刚伸进笼子就被它毫不犹豫地咬了一口。它居然敢咬我，我一边收回手，一边埋怨的看着它，而此时它却把眼睛瞪得圆圆的，两边的胡须颤呀颤的，好像在说，你再碰我下试试。真像一只好斗的公鸡，不禁让我捧腹大笑。

看到这儿，你肯定认为它特坏，其实不然，它也有友善的一面。又有一次妈妈喂食的时候，笼子的门忘关了，松松就跑出来了，我急忙说：“松松别跑，快回来”它回头看了我一眼，继续往房间里跑去。我紧紧地在后面追着，他却好像跟我玩起了捉迷藏。忽然我想起来松松喜欢吃好丽友派。于是我找出好丽友派，高高举在手上，大声喊道：“松松，松松，给你好丽友派”。这时我突然看到我的被子动了一下，随后被子里钻出个的小脑袋，黑宝石般的眼睛在滴溜滴溜地环顾四周。松松看见我手上有好丽友派之后激动地跳到了我的肩膀上，用两只爪子紧紧的抱着大口大口的吃了起来。还时不时地偷偷地看我，好像友善说：你怎么知道我喜欢吃好丽友派，够朋友。

呵，这就是它，我的小松鼠朋友。

真正的朋友彼此之间是能寻求到一种语言与情感的相通，也是一笔精神上巨大的财富。

拥有了朋友，就能从对方那里寻找到曾经没有的感觉或是答案;可以让曾经迷茫的自己找到柳暗花明的感觉;也可以从对方哪里学习到自己缺乏的知识……不同的人拥有各自不同的风景，不同的风景却又展示出各种不同的韵味。

我觉得自己能在这些美丽的风景中得到许多快乐和欣慰，我想真正的友情它将会给人留下美好的享受与难以忘却的记忆。

曾经有人这样说“和自己一同笑过的人也许很快就把他忘却，而同自己一同哭过的人也许一生就会记住他”。其实道理很简单，因为同自己一同笑的人也许有很多很多。而同自己一同哭的人，也许是不多的。哭泣是需要理由的，如果没有真正的情感与相互间的了解，是永远找不到哭的感觉。真正的朋友它可以让人在悲伤时给人以安慰;成功时给人以掌声;快乐时给人以共享。

人可以一无所有，但却不能没有友情。人的一生，短短的几十年，说长且短，而且注定将经历太多太多的风风雨雨。如今在世俗、名利、金钱充斥的现实中，多少人却无缘地把朋友与友情蒙上一层虚伪与失真的色彩，这也许是现代人性之所悲哀!

如果你的朋友是异性，而你却为了证明自己能力有多大，能在别人面前吹嘘自己如何拥有这个异性朋友而满足自己另类的性情，这样的友情我想始终是存在于一种虚伪与欺骗的环境中，它终将随着时间与空间的改变而露出其庐山真面目的。

如果你的朋友是一个所谓的名人，而你认识他只是企图他能从物质上帮助你改变你现状，这样的朋友也许他能让你得到一些物质上暂时的满足，但你的灵魂与精神却永远是贫穷的。

这世上经历了太多的风风雨雨，有失有得，朋友给予的欢乐、给予的真诚，要珍惜这份来之不易的真诚的友情。

一个人的天空是狭小的、单调的，友情织成的天空，是广阔的`，也是灿烂的。友情能给人生活增添情趣，让人更多的洞悉外面的世界。忧伤时，有朋友同担伤痛，会减掉几分;欢乐时，有朋友同共享欢乐，会更加浓郁。友情是人生中一笔无价的财富。珍惜!

Dear Sales Manager,

I, the undersigned, am a senior in the Computer Science Department of Tsinghua University. I ordered a book which is entitled Practical Writing and Reading for NETEM by Wang Li on December 20th, 2004.

However after reading the book on January 10th, 2005, I found that it is a pirated one so that I write to you for complaint.

The book has brought me some negative effects. To begin with, much of my valuable time and energy have been wasted in reading the book since it is quite hard to identify many words in the book. What’s more, I have not benefited from reading the book since some of keys to the exercises are misprinted.

I would like to be informed whether you can refund me the money or change another book for me. I am looking forward to your early reply.

Sincerely Yours

很小很小的时候，是妈妈给我讲圣诞节的故事：妈妈说，过圣诞节那天，只要把圣诞袜挂到房门口，就会有圣诞爷爷发礼物到袜子里，后来我知道发礼物的圣诞爷爷就是我的爸爸。

上幼儿园的时候，过圣诞节那天老师让小朋友们都带上圣诞帽，小朋友们带上圣诞帽做早操真好看啊!然后老师还会给我们发些糖果。

我每年都盼着过圣诞节，走到大街小巷都能感受到圣诞节日的气氛。听到好听的圣诞歌，看到美丽的圣诞树和圣诞爷爷，也能收到礼物。

今年圣诞节我有一个想法，我要自己学会唱那首圣诞歌，并把它当作礼物唱给我的老师、同学，还有身边所有关心我的人听。我想对大家说：“朋友们，圣诞节快乐!”

、my favorite city is ShanghaiShanghai is Chinas most comprehensive industrial and commercial city, ranking the first in population and population density. As a tourist city, it attracts travelers from both home and abroad by its commercial activity rather than scenic beauty. Shanghai is situated on the bank of the Yangtze River Delta, with East River in the east and Hangzhou delta in the south. Housing a population of over 16 million at present, it was once a small town supported by fishing and weaving before the first Opium War.

Late in 1990, the central government started developing the area, and has since became the well-known booming metropolis city. Dressing in Shanghai is casual but modest. Bring along some heavy clothing for the winter whereas light clothing is adequate during summer. Visitors to China are required to fill in a health declaration form at the Customs. Medical facilities are generally adequate in Shanghai. It is advisable to drink only boiled and bottled water。

We had a small debate yesterday in politics class, which made everybody laugh. Wang Yongbin in our class is funny. He said with a crooked neck, "please state your opinion in opposition." It looks very serious! The opposite students grabbed the handle of our classmates, so Liu Yang, our mathematics class, said immediately: "the student said that dreams and dreams are opposite to reality." The teacher and his classmates laughed.

There was a counter student, Zhang Yijun, who said that he helped us in the opposite direction. Fortunately, the teacher reminded him in time to correct it. Yu Miao, a counter student, said, "dont you think its hard to learn before the end of the semester?" So I interposed, "because we know that we have passed." The students applauded immediately. Every time when our fellow students spoke well, Mu Deyu said at the bottom, "brilliant, really brilliant!" We said, "why dont you go up and say it?" He said, "Im stage fright." This debate is really interesting!

Like tangible cultural heritages such as the Great Wall and the Forbidden

City, intangible cultural heritages like Peking Opera and

Confucius-commemorating rituals are equally crucial. We should make our utmost

efforts to preserve intangible heritages because, without their physical form of

existence, they are in greater risk of extinction.

According to UNESCO’s Convention for the Safeguarding of Intangible

Cultural Heritage (2003), all forms of social customs and habits, folklore,

performing arts, rituals, oral traditions, festivals, traditional crafts and

various knowledge and practices about nature and universe can be classified as

intangible cultural heritages. As a country consisting of a great diversity of

ethnic groups and with time-honored history and civilization, China abounds in

intangible cultural heritages. Cultural heritages connect modern people with the

historical past, allowing them to acquire a cultural and historical identity.

Without cultural heritages, we would be rendered absolutely rootless and we

would find it hard to cope with challenges at present and in the future.

However, the modernization process poses mounting threats to intangible

heritages. Many people have a blind faith in the latest electronic devices. It

is also pathetic to see elderly people in possession of such legacies pass away

without transmitting them to the younger generation. Faced with those

challenges, we should both preserve and renovate our ancestral heritages so that

we can help contribute to the cultural diversity of the world and return to our

spiritual homeland in this age of impersonal science and technology.
