Mothers Day Mother’s Day is a holiday when children honor their mothers with

cards, gifts and flowers. In many countries, such as Denmark, Finland, Italy,

Turkey, Australia and the US, people cel lebrate Mother’s Day on the second

Sunday in May while many other countries of the world celebrate their own

Mother’s day at different times through out the year.

One of the best ways to celebrate Mother’s Day is to give your mom the day

off. Let her relax with the rest of the family doing all the housework. Usually,

dad and the kids will let mom sleep late that morning as they go into the

kitchen to prepare her favourite breakfast. Never forget to place a vase with a

single flower on the table beside the food. The kids can pick up the flower from

the garden or buy one from the shop. Arrange everything nicely before mom wakes

up. Some families will carry the food and mom’s favourite sections from the

newspaper to her bedroom so that mom can have breakfast in bed. Presents and

cards from the kids can be handed to mom by themselves or just placed on the

dining table.

After breakfast, go anywhere mom likes to go. Shopping, swimming or going on

a picnic in the garden. Make a special Mother’s Day dinner or take mom out for a

great meal in a famous restaurant she loves most.

Anyway ,let mom enjoy the whole day and feel your love, and then the Mother’s

Day can be a good one. As Mother’s Day is around the corner, it’s time to take

actions!

从今年开始,我发现我变了很多,以前的小脾气、动作慢、不爱动脑筋等不良习惯都改变了。我发现我现在变得朗读能力强了,动手能力强了,也爱发言了,让我来给你们讲讲我是怎么变的吧!

记得在学习《丝绸之路》这一课,老师问到了有一个问题,说的是这个丝绸之路对我国的发展?我那天因为预习,思考过,所以我想回答,可是我不敢。但是想到:老师往日说的“机遇是留给有准备的人”,我已做了准备,为何不说呢?很快,我鼓足勇气还是忐忑不安地举起了手,我回答了这个问题,老师表扬了我,同学们也对我投来羡慕的眼神,我心里没那么害怕了,之后我就慢慢地爱上了举手。我也发现了举手发言其实真是一个简单的事,有时答对,有时答错,不论答对还是答错,自己都能获得学习和胆量上的进步。

我爱举手更爱朗读了。记得前几天,罗老师说:“苏梓婷你为什么不能大声朗读呢?”我在心里默默地说:“老师,我只是想给其他同学机会,下一个朗读机会一定要抓住。”老师又让我们朗读课文,我立刻就举起了手,老师叫了我和康慧妍来读,老师说我们俩读得都好,但是她读出了人物的语言变化。我下定决心想:我每天要练习朗读,就这样,我坚持日日晨读,在老师和同学们的帮助和鼓励下,我的朗读水平慢慢地提高了。

朗读不仅让我语言表达能力增强了,思维灵活了,动手能力也增强了。一次实践课,罗老师说,看谁能发挥思维仅用两张A4纸,把一个硬币放在上面不会掉下来,保持一分钟,测量高度,谁的最高谁就是获胜者。我绞尽脑汁想了半天,终于想起数学张老师说的一句话:“处处都感觉到数学的存在”。我想起了三角形有固定作用,可以把A4纸分成四份,然后再把每一份竖起来折两次变成三角形,然后把四份摞起来就搭成一米二的细柱子,最后轻轻放上硬币就大功告成。妈妈还帮我拍照发在班级微信群了。在这个千辛万苦的制作中,我感到:看起来难的题其实需要动脑筋,难的题可以变简单。就像这次实践课一样,看谁把硬币放在纸上不落下来,还要看谁的硬币离地面最高,听起来简单,做起来却需要细心和仔细。最后我是全班最高的一个,前面几次没有成功,通过努力思考,这次我成功了,就这一个小小的变化,我为我自己感到自豪。

我在每一次的变化中不断成长,我的变化让我变得更坚强、更勇敢、更自信、更懂事。

At present, there is a hot word in our life - "low carbon". For this new

friend, I have done a detailed understanding, the original, low carbon is to

reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Low carbon environmental protection, green

travel, in todays society, bike sharing is the top priority.

In 2017, shared bicycles have sprung up on the streets of Fuzhou with

colorful colors, including blue, orange and yellow Dressed up in the beautiful

streets of Fuzhou. It serves every citizen of Fuzhou and brings convenience to

us. Everyone is contributing to the environmental protection cause of Fuzhou.

This is the responsibility and obligation of Fuzhou citizens. I see the rapid

development of bike sharing. There are yellow cars, Moby bikes, and hello bikes

This aroused my curiosity, and I also wanted to experience it. Today, I took my

mothers mobile phone and couldnt wait to find a small yellow car. I turned on my

mobile phone, scanned the QR code of the bike sharing car, and input the

password. I only heard "didi" and the lock on the bike was opened. This

operation is really convenient. So my mom and I got on the bike sharing. We

enjoy the scenery on both sides of the road, talking and laughing all the way,

but also exercise. This is really a healthy and environmentally friendly way to

travel!

However, the good time is not long, bike sharing is facing unprecedented

disaster. Some are thrown into rivers, some are short of arms and legs, some are

locked in private Where are the qualities of these people? Is this the quality

that we Chinese should have? No, this is not the quality that we Chinese should

have! This small bike sharing is like a mirror, reflecting the quality of

Chinese people. The original intention of bike sharing is good, it can bring

convenience to the public, low-carbon environmental protection, green travel! I

hope you can maintain bike sharing together!

With the progress of society, peoples quality should be constantly

improved. Bike sharing is a good invention. Lets protect it together. Low carbon

and environmental protection. Starting from me, lets maintain a better tomorrow

with both hands. Lets make our sky bluer and our air cleaner!

general, because every coin has two sides. But sometimes we need to change,

because it is good for us. Sometimes we will meet some difficult or

uncomfortable situation. When we are not able to change it, we need to change

ourselves. If both of us refuse to budge, the problem would not be solved.

Sometimes we need to change our life attitude; sometimes we need to change our

views of seeing things; sometimes we need to tolerant; sometimes we need to be

几日前,不经意间,望见一朵绣球花的花骨朵。我走向前去,抚摸着它柔软的花瓣。这熟悉的触感,带我回到了曾经……

那是一年初春,我学完兴趣班后,爸爸开着摩托车和妈妈一起来接我。

在回家的路上,有几簇绣球花正盛开在路旁,一向喜欢拍照的妈妈看见了,忙喊道:“快停车,拍几张照吧!”

那时的我还小,爸爸把我驼在肩膀上,我们一起灿烂地笑着。

我坐在爸爸的肩头,在那一头浓密黑发后探出脑袋,说:“以后,咱们每年都来拍一张吧!”

第二年,爸妈真的带我重新回到那儿,再拍了一张。自与它一别,细想已一年有余,也难怪心中有种久别重逢的感觉。

我还是望向那如雪一般洁白的绣球花,一片一片围绕着花蕊的花瓣,仿佛如那时光隧道一般,绕来绕去,绕来绕去……

几个月前,父母又带我去拍了一张。三年了。我在心中默念着。三张相同的照片,三种不同的心境。

那一片片花瓣,在风中飘落,拂过我的脸颊、发梢,留下只属于它的那一抹清香。

当时,一个随意许下的诺言,却在父母一年年的坚持下,照进现实。如今,我已长大,已不再稚嫩。爸爸也一天一天衰老,两鬓逐渐有些许白发;那绣球花却年复一年地生长、掉落。

绣球花陪我见证了年少的戏言,在我的人生里留下了独一无二的印记。

我依旧轻轻抚摸着它,不愿离去。时光匆匆,又有谁,能陪我等到那绣球花开?

The shared bikes like Mobike and Ofo bring great convenience to people. You

needn’t lock them by simply using your smart phone. They can take you where the

subway and bus don’t go. And they can be left anywhere in public for the next

user.

However, bad things happen. Some people damage the QR code on the bike, or

use their own lock, which causes trouble to other users.

In my opinion, it’s difficult to turn these people’s ideas in a short time.

Therefore, bike-sharing companies like Mobike and Ofo need to do something. For

example, those who damage the bike should pay for their actions. Also, because

people use their real name to register as a user, it’s a good way to connect to

one’s personal credit.

In the end, what I want to say is to take good care of public services.

Trees are very useful to people. They provide us with wood and other

products. They give us shade and they help to prevent drought and floods.

Unfortunately, in many parts of our country, people havent realized the

importance of trees. They cut them down at will. They are usually too lazy or

too careless to plant and look after new trees. As a result, the forests

continue to disappear.

Where there are no trees the rain falls on the surface, causing floods, and

carries away with the rich topsoil, in which crops grow so well. When all the

topsoil is gone, nothing remains but worthless deserted.

The big floods of 1998, in parts of China, have already taught us a good

lesson. So every one of us must love trees, protect forests, and keep on

planting trees each year.

Of the fruits of the year I give my vote to the orange. In the first place

it is a perennial--if not in actual fact, at least in the greengrocer’s shop. On

the days when dessert is a name given to a handful of chocolates and a little

preserved ginger, when macédoine de fruits is the title bestowed on some raisins

and two prunes, then the orange, however sour, comes nobly to the rescue; and on

those other days of plenty when cherries and strawberries and kiwi-fruits riot

together upon the table, the orange, sweeter than ever, is still there to hold

its own. Bread and rice, beef and mutton, eggs and milk, are not more necessary

to an ordered existence than the orange.

It is well that the commonest fruit should be also the best. Of the virtues

of the orange I have not room fully to speak. It has properties of health

giving, as it cures influenza and establishes the complexion. It is clean, for

whoever handles it on its way to your table but handles its outer covering, its

top coat, which is left in the hall. It is round, and forms an excellent

substitute with the young for a tiny football. The pips can be flicked at your

enemies, and quite a small piece of peel makes a slide for an old gentleman.

But all this would count nothing had not the orange such delightful

qualities of taste. I dare not let myself go upon this subject. I am a slave to

its sweetness.

Yet with the orange we go live year in and year out. That speaks well for

the orange. The fact is that there is an honesty about the orange which appeals

to all of us. If it is going to be bad--for the best of us are bad sometimes--it

begins to be bad from the outside, not from the inside. How many a pear which

presents a blooming face to the world is rotten at the core. How many an

innocent-looking apple, is harboring a worm in the bud. But the orange has no

secret faults. Its outside is a mirror of its inside, and if you are quick you

can tell the shopman so before he slips it into the bag.
