How have you been recently? I miss you very much. Do you still remember
me?
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. Once we were together, you always treated me as if I were your dear
brother, so I was grateful to you in my heart. After you leaving, I always
thought of you. 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.
Although we are in two different places now, we are still together, because
we are always heart to heart. I believe we can see each other again. Since we
are always close friends as well as dear brothers. Because of you, my life is
always so significant. Wherever I am, I will pray good luck for you.
Last but not the least, I hope you can make it and have a bright
future.
Sincerely yours,
Jason

+ 加入清单期中考前有休息2前,我想,应该只有很少部分人复习了吧。有句话说得好,平时好好学习,考前就轻松了;平时不好好学习,就靠着考前冲刺了。可话虽这么说,有几个人又是这么做的?在我的认知中,只有这么两种人:一种是平时好好学的,考前还是要复习;另一种是平时就不学的,考前更是一脸惬意的玩耍,一副天塌下来也不怕的找打模样。
每个星期一的早晨都有人上演讲台发言,不止有一个人讲过要认真对待考试,要认真做好复习,要遵守考场纪律。可事实摆在眼前,还真就应了那句老话:事实胜于雄辩。 小
多少个考生只是为了一点点暂时的骄傲,而放弃自己的自尊,去作弊!换回来的是什么?是赞美么?是成绩么?是广阔的未来么?也许我们并不闪亮发光,也许根本没人注意到我们的存在,可是,我们要活得让自己满意啊,肮脏的自己,你要么?
在我们一(三)考场考试的都是各班杰出的代表吧,她们可以说是耀眼的,她们也可以代表一个班级的尊严。就是这样背负着责任的有能力的少年,竟然被自己一时的私利而蒙蔽了双眼,竟然传起纸条来。你想想,后果会有多么不堪!没被发现,自尊会受到谴责,也许一辈子就这么堕落下去了;被发现了,记过,你能领毕业证吗?你的未来呢?而事实还真是预料之内,老师狠狠地拽着他的耳朵说“欠揍!”。他都脸红到耳根子了,老时间他是好学生放过他了。可是,有了第一次就有第二次,总有一天会遭殃。
那位男生,以前和我是一个学校的,以前我就又发现他的小动作。真是很希望他能改正,因为只有这样,我们才能走过人生的绊脚石,通向成功。
考试过后,就是漫长的假期,也许这也是大家最为高兴的吧。大脑如此紧张,终于可以休息了。这下子,大家都是泡在电脑,电视上了吧。丝毫不会为以后见到成绩而有一丝羞愧。
现在,成绩也出来了,非常的差。尽管过去的也就让它过去了,可是谁都说我们班不好;我们为什么让别人有权利这么说呢?轮责任心,我们谁都不比其他班差。能在这个班,真的是件很幸福的事。老师把我们当孩子一样疼,疼到骨子里去了!
老师,我们一定不辜负您的期望!

+ 加入清单在这个细雨绵绵的日子里,我像刚盛开的微菊,绽放在思想的境界中……
我想起了故乡。那是一个宁静而美丽的乡村,每当到了端午时节,那儿便会热闹起来。走在街上,仿佛置身在欢闹的海洋里。路不宽,人很多,你会不由自主地随着人群走向河岸边。河面是龙舟的世界,一只紧挨着一只,选手们在码头上摩拳擦掌,跃跃欲试。随着响彻云霄的鼓声,赛龙舟开始了。顿时,人们的呼喊声、选手们的吆喝声、鼓手敲击的鼓声交融在一起,组成了一支雄壮的进行曲。龙舟驶远了,但选手们的吆喝声还在河上回荡。
我亦想起了在这儿度过的端午,
这里总是热闹、有气氛的。到了端午这个时候,人们更是不亦乐乎。每家每户都忙着包粽子、看赛龙舟、布置家居。最稀奇的节目还是“忆”屈原。人们总会在端午节这一天,制作550只莲花灯,点上蜡烛,让它们沿江河飘荡,以此表达对屈原的思念与尊敬。
我还想起了屈原,
他心中怀有一种悲哀,楚怀王无力辨别臣子,使得屈原一生抱负无处施展。近乎绝望的屈原慢慢迈向江边,他无助地站在那儿,看见百姓生活在苦难中,“长太息以掩涕兮,哀民生之多艰”,继而,一股不可阻挡的怒涛在心底激荡却无处发泄。于是,他化为怒吼的雷,化为霹雳的闪电,随着雨的来临而消失了……
雨依旧在下,微菊仍在开放,阴雨朦胧的日子给人无限遐思……

university entrance exam in July this year. Everyday, I buried myself in
studying. I had to review each required subject and do lots of exercises.
Besides, because I did bad in mathematics and physics, I had to do much more
exercises than other courses, which made me discouraged. I spent more than ten
hours a day in studying. When I was tired, I watched TV or listened to music for
a little while. But It was a big pity that I couldnt go to the see cinema. In
addition, I had to refuse all the invitations of friends and relatives. I only
called them or sent messages in the New Year’s Eve. I desperately hoped that
there is no exam but I know it’s impossible. The only thing I can do is to study
hard to get good scores and can be admitted to Tsinghua University.

监考老师刘老师来了,刚到就说了句:“人,要做君子。”同桌轻轻地嘀咕里一句:君子迟早会在战场上阵亡的,我不要做君子。对于同桌的这句话,我真的是无可奈何。我开始审题了,一题一题都看的十分仔细,听力部分的时候,讲台桌里的音箱发出低沉的声音,震得地板都在颤抖着,我也迷迷糊糊的,听不清它说的是什么单词,非得把耳朵往前,仔细听这才听得清楚。听力部分终于熬过去了,到笔试部分了,我开始奋笔勤书,一个单词都不丢下的看过去,终于写完了。我开始检查了,发现错误很少,几乎没有错误,这才放心的等待着交卷。
收卷以后,同学说这张试卷中有陷阱,我在人群中挤了又挤,终于听清楚了,有一道题是阅读短文中没有的,应该选择:Sorry,Idoutnow。完了,我中计了,怎么期末考试还有陷阱的,两分就这么没了。
监考老师刚走,科学老师就来了,这考试真得小心点,千万别掉陷阱里了。

X.xx 星期二 晴
今天是实习授课的第二天,我早早地准备好今天讲课的内容,但真的要上课时,我心里却不免有点紧张,因为昨天是我第一次上讲台用自己的方式去向学生传授知识啊!今天在上新课之前,我必须先要把昨天的内容
简单复习一下,这可正是对我教的好坏一个全面的检验......上课了,我表面上镇定自如地走上了讲台。一些常规的课堂程序之后,我开始了课堂复习步骤,出乎意料的是学生们反应迅速,对答如流。说真心话,看到这我心里真的感到无比喜悦。
晚上回到家,想起白天上课的情景,我感慨颇多,我想我真正体味到了劳动并享受着劳动后的成果的愉悦了。当然,在物欲横流的现代社会,这个观念也许会显得有些陈旧和俗套,但它却有着与生俱来的独特的古朴、风韵和精华。我们不能将快乐简单地理解为物质利益的获得和某种非精神意味的享受,快乐与否在于我们自身、我们的付出和我们的感受。由此我想到现在的学习,很长的一段时间,我都因没有进入理想的学府而怨天尤人,失却快乐。其实不断的学习便是一种快乐,奋进着永不放弃,需要不断体验快乐来支撑。不久的将来,我会成为一名人民教师,我会辛勤地工作,用心地去教书育人,我相信我一定能在平凡、艰苦中感受到欣慰和快乐。

X.xx 星期五 小雨
今天是我实习的最后一天。因为课程安排在上午一、二两节,所以我得起早,偏偏天公不作美,下着小雨,清晨躺在床上的我真的不想起床,看看表,哎呀!快六点了,再不起来就会迟到了,可是由于昨晚备课到很晚加上心里一直惦记着今天要起早。所以整夜没睡好,夜里醒了好几次,真不想起床啊......然而想到那些学生们,我自问“我有理由迟到吗?”最后我终于没有给我的实习留下什么遗憾,事后我却想了许多,也明白了由立志到实现目标非常关键的一点就在于坚持。坚持对于我们来说都是再熟悉不过的字眼,可是真正把握住它的人却凤毛麟角,坚持需要毅力,需要对目标价值的深切期望和正确估价,有时甚至需要人格力量来支撑。事情的成功有时往往便在于我们能否坚持那关键的一步,走过去,前面就可能是另一番海阔天空,而习惯了坚持,久而久之,这一信念范畴的东西便会逐渐地融入我们的个性之中,成为一种素养,一种道德,现在的我们马上面临毕业,就要踏入社会了,或许一些人会认为到了现在我们可以不再努力,毕业后找份工作,那便是一生了。如果这样的话,那么我们就永远失去了成就某种事业的机会。事实上作为师范专业的学生,我们更应该树立正确的劳动观念和道德意识。为人师表,认真而严肃的从事自己所热爱的事业,愉快而充实的度过我们平凡的一生。

When we got there, we saw that the fish pond in Xiaohe ditch was covered with ice. I want to go down to play on the ice, so I decided to try the ice thickness first. Because there were no thick branches on the riverside, so I lifted a big stone and threw it all in to the ice. There was a huge hole in the ice, and the shadow of a small fish was hidden below. Fortunately, I didnt go down easily, otherwise...
We continue to move forward. Those fish ponds show their true colors: I have made the "mask people" one by one.
A small stream blocked our way further. I looked at what could be used without wood boards around. Because the water is very shallow, I move a piece of big stone, three lower five in addition to two set up a stone bridge, my mother and my mother passed the brook, and also helped people to pass a bridge.
After crossing the bridge, we began to move forward. We saw a vacant area in front of us, and it was scraped evenly by bulldozers. Mother said that it might have been a natural ancient granary. The center of the loess slope is a circular open space, which is transformed into a natural granary. Why do I think so good things should be leveled and destroyed? I ask mother, mother said that this is the conflict between modern civilization and ancient history, and now people have destroyed the historical relics left by their predecessors for their own existence. If I want to live in the air, I will not destroy so many precious and rare historical sites.
Im very happy to go out today. At the same time, I realized the importance of life to human beings, and realized that the development and construction of society could damage the civilization of ancient society. I think life is very important, but ancient civilization is also important. We should coordinate the relationship between the development of modern civilization and the preservation of ancient civilization.
