The Old Man and the Sea is one of Hemingways most enduring works and may very well become one of the true classics of this generation. It played a great part in his winning the Pulizer Prize in 1953 and the 1954 Novel Prize for Literature and confirmed his power and presence in the literary world. Hemingway is also one of my favorite writers. Besides The Old Man And the Sea, I have read some of his other works, such as The Sun Also Rises, A Farewell to Arms and The Snow of Kilimanijaro. But The Old Man and the Sea is the one that left the deepest impression on me.

I first read this book when I was in my fifteens. And now I remember it just as well as if I had read it yesterday.

After I read the book that is called “The old man and the sea” I was deeply moved by the old man and his spirit.

The book written by Hemingway tells us a story that an old man whose name is Santiago went out to do some fishing on the sea on his own but down on his luck he hadn’t caught any fish for 84 days. Next day he caught a huge marlin which is bigger than his boat and took a formidable battle with it. He beat it at the end. When he was on the way home the smells of blood of the marlin draw a lot of sharks’ attention and they fought for it. In order to protect the marlin and him the old man tried his best to fight with them. After a cruel fight he won it and came back home tiredly. Although he only got a skeleton of the giant marlin at last he is also a great hero in many people’s heart.

In the article the old man is a great man. Although he failed for many time in his life he never gave up. He is a steel-willing man who insisted his dream and work hard. You can destroy him but you can’t beat him. Whatever he faced to he would never yield to the difficult which shows a strong spirit.

In our lives I think we should learn something from the old man which will make us have a more valuable life. Whenever and wherever we meet trouble we should never give up and try our best to overcome it. We should always keep on our dream and make it come true. Every one has his backbone which can’t be bended by anyone which is very important for everyone in his whole life. If we meet difficulty in our life we should face it bravely and work out some way to solve the problem whatever would happen at last. We can be destroyed but we can’t be beat by anything or anyone. If you failed for many times in your life you wouldn’t surrender because if you try to do it you may succeed in your life but if you do not do it you would not be succeed forever. Everyone has his advantages and disadvantages in his life but we should face to our disadvantages and we must be confident which would also make us be confident of our life. We should have faith in what we do in our life we will have a more beautiful life in the future and our dream will come true. We should pay more attention to what we do during our life rather than what we will get at the end because I think it is more important than any thing you get finally. If you enjoy you life not something you get you will have a meaningful life and a noble spirit. It will hurt you when you pay more attention to what you get in the future. It will also make you do something wrong which is bad for other people our society and our country.

I’m impressed by the sentence which is “We can be destroyed but we can’t be beat.” I think everyone should do it no matter what happen in our life. This book makes me know something I didn’t know in the past. The book and the old man have a great influence in my life. I love this book.

Dear Tony,

Chong yang, the traditional Chinese festival for the elderly, is coming around. We are planning to visit

Nursing Home to celebrate the special day, and we would like to invite students from your school to join us.

We have planned several activities. When we get there, we will visit the elderly in their rooms in groups,

presenting them with flowers and self-made cards to show our respect and love. Then we will do some

cleaning and washing for them wi th the help of the nurses.

As some old people feel lonely, we may chat with them about their old days, changes of our city, or

anything they are interested in. We may also give them some performances: singing, dancing, and so on.

I am sure we will both gain a better understanding of the elderly in China. If you have any suggestions,

please let us know.

Looking forward to your early reply.

Yours,

Li Hua

我花了一个星期读一本鼓舞人斗志的书，叫《老人与海》。我非常佩服圣地亚哥老人，如果你看了下面的故事，也许你会像我一样佩服他。

古巴的圣地亚哥老人已经八十四天一无所获了，第八十五天，带着祝福和鱼饵又顽强地驾船出海了：他要去深海捕一条大鱼。这一次他碰上了一条足有18英尺长，比他还大的鱼，他对这条大银鱼(马林鱼)充满了赞美和尊敬，同时这更激起了圣地亚哥向它挑战的决心。大鱼与老人默默地对峙，时而把船拖向深海，时而围着船打转，时而要用掀起的巨浪把船打翻……老人与大鱼奋战了两天两夜，在这个过程中，他不断地和鱼、鸟和大海对话，不断地想或回忆往事。凭着顽强的毅力和坚强的信念，他终于挺了过来，征服了那个庞然大物。意想不到的是，在老人将要把马林鱼拖回去的时候，大批的鲨鱼被吸引而来，争吃捆在船边上的马林鱼。已经筋疲力尽的圣地亚哥老人虽然竭尽全力与鲨鱼搏斗，但那条大鱼仍旧被成群的鲨鱼咬得只剩下一副空空的骨架。最后，圣地亚哥老人把这巨大的空骨架拖回了岸边。

老人靠自己的精神与理念，坚韧地支撑着，他最终战胜了大鱼，也战胜了失败，战胜了自己。我们在学习上也要有这种精神，如：在做数学题时遇到难题，就应该多动动脑，不要动不动就放弃。

导语：尊重和爱护老人是中华民族的传统美德。可是如今出现了信任危机，很多人怕被讹而不敢轻易去扶，下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的优秀英语作文，欢迎阅读与借鉴，谢谢!

In current days , with the development of society and economic ,series of social problems are appeared. In order to analyze this phenomenon three universities in Beijing jointly distribute an opinion poll about “Should you help the old when he/she falls down on the street?”.

From the result of this survey, we know that 29.6 percent of the people are surveyed think that whether they help the old or not will according to the circumstance. The people who will help the old are the most ,they accounted for 64.8 percent of them. And also have 8.3 percent hold the view that the old shouldn’t be help.

Why don’t they help the old falls down on the street? 5.3 percent of them are lack of medical knowledge. And 7.2 percent of them think that it’s not related to them. But the major, 87.4 percent of them are afraid of getting themselves into trouble.

Through this result, we can see clearly that crisis of confidence between people. Sincere and confidence are replaced by dishonest and hypocritical. Cautious and alert are deeply rooted.

In my opinion, we all should help each other. Respect and take good care of the old is the traditional Chinese virtues. When we meet the case, we’d better call health care workers for help. Because we lack of medical knowledge may cause more harm to the old. I hope there is less harm and more worm in our life.

当前，随着社会经济的发展，出现了一系列社会问题。为了分析这一现象，北京三所大学联合发布了一项民意调查，“当老人摔倒在街上时，你应该帮助老人吗?”。

从本次调查的结果，我们知道，百分之29.6的人被调查认为，他们是否帮助老人或不将根据情况。帮助老人的人最多，他们占百分之64.8。也有百分之8.3个认为老人不应该帮助。

他们为什么不帮助老人在街上跌倒呢?其中百分之5.3是缺乏医学知识。百分之7.2的人认为这与他们无关。但少校，其中百分之87.4人害怕惹上麻烦。

通过这个结果，我们可以清楚地看到人们之间的信任危机。真诚和自信被虚伪和虚伪所取代。谨慎和警惕根深蒂固。

在我看来，我们都应该互相帮助。尊重和爱护老人是中华民族的传统美德。当我们遇到这种情况时，我们最好打电话给卫生保健人员寻求帮助。因为我们缺乏医学知识可能会对老年人造成更多伤害。我希望生活中少一些伤害和更多的虫子。

Pride and Prejudice is a chefdoeuvre.

My first impression of this story was from screen.

Its long long ago, maybe before I can read english books. I dont remember which movie edition I had seen. But I was impressed by the music, the scenery and the costume. I was very favor of a section of music in its balls. Its pretty brisk, liked a wonderful song of a bird. Regarding to the characters, I liked Elizabeth, the heroine,though I didnt think shes beautiful. But shes smart. However, I didnt pay much attention to the plot. I thought its so long that it made me impatient and bored. By now, I havent read the whole story in English or its Chinese version, either. I owe it to my prejudice.

In fact, I didnt understand the story at that time. I didnt know why it called Pride and Prejudice. Of course someone was pride, but I didnt find where s the prejudice. I thought its normal, the way people treated each other in that. I considered prejudice would be very disgusting. But to the movie everthing was OK in my minds, except its length. Now, I think I have understood more about it. Im a prejudiced person so I cant find wheres wrong. I merely like to do the things I like. Everytime I meet somebody or something,my thinking about he or it all depends on my foregone experience and my mood of the time.

rale, let person collapse, loss of hope in life. If failure can not beat you, but you stepped on the foot, then success will surely belong to you.

Famous writer Ernest Hemingway in "the old man and the sea" to shape of the old man is a failure and dare to fight the case.

The old man and the sea is mainly about a man named diego old fisherman fishing through a special. In did not hit a fish for eighty-four days, but in the second day, he was very lucky to had caught a big marlin. The marlin is his life caught the biggest fish, the fish is longer than his boat to 2 feet! Marlin body big, strength is big. It pulled the old man and the boat drifted at sea for two days and two nights. Old man experience in these two days and two nights (a) has never experienced a tough test. The big marlin in struggling in the sea, in an attempt to escape back to the sea. Old man in order to uniform marlin, exhausted, were raw, but he did not yield to the big marlin. He with strong will, finally put the big marlin to death, tied to the bow. Fortunately, however, does not appear, waiting for the old man is a bigger test. A group of smelling scent of sharks and already were raw launched a deadly fight against the old man. Finally the old mans life saved, but the shark ate up the big marlin, the old man towed back to the final is a bare skeleton...

A bumpy road has many twists and turns in life, failure is often encountered, we should always have a heart to strong and not to yield to face failure, success will be coming to us.

失败，在许多人的眼中是非常可怕的，它一旦猖狂起来，就能击溃人的斗志，让人彻底崩溃，失去生活的希望。如果失败战胜不了你，而是被你踩在脚下，那么，成功必定属于你。

著名作家海明威在《老人与海》中塑造的那位老人就是一个敢与失败作斗争的例子。

《老人与海》主要讲了一位名叫桑地亚哥的老渔翁一次特别的打鱼经过。在连续八十四天没有打到一条鱼后，但在第二天，他非常幸运地捕获到了一条巨大的大马林鱼。那条马林鱼是他平生捕到的最大的一条鱼，那条鱼比他的小船还要长2英尺呢!马林鱼的身体大，力气自然也大。它拖着老人和小船在海上漂流了两天两夜。老人在这两天两夜中经历(了)从来没有经历过的艰难考验。大马林鱼在大海上奋力挣扎，企图逃回大海。老人为了制服马林鱼，精疲力竭，皮开肉绽，但他并没有向大马林鱼屈服。他凭着顽强的意志，终于把大马林鱼扎死，拴在了船头。然而，幸运并没有出现，等待老人的是更大的考验。一群嗅着血腥味而来的大鲨鱼与已经皮开肉绽的老人展开了殊死博斗。最后老人的命虽然保住了，但鲨鱼们吃光了大马林鱼，老人拖回去的最终是一副光秃秃的骨架……

人生的道路是曲折坎坷的，遇到失败是再平常不过的事，我们应该时时刻刻拥有一颗坚强、不屈服的心来面对失败，成功就一定会向我们走来。

When I was a middle school student, I’ve finished this book in Chinese.But when I read it in English,I really gain something new both in the way of expression and the spirit it shows to us.May be different ages to read the same book we will learn different things from it.At least, for my part, that is true.

Firstly,I would like to review some information about this book.Such as the background,major characters and the topic of it.

The Old Man and the Sea is a story by Ernest Hemingway, written in Cuba in 1951 and published in 1952. It was the last major work of fiction to be produced by Hemingway and published in his lifetime. One of his most famous works, it centers upon Santiago, an aging Cuban fisherman who struggles with a giant marlin far out in the Gulf Stream.

The Old Man and the Sea served to reinvigorate Hemingways literary reputation and prompted a reexamination of his entire body of work. The novella was initially received with much popularity; it restored many readers confidence in Hemingways capability as an author. Its publisher, Scribners, on an early dust jacket, called the novella a "new classic," and many critics favorably compared it with such works as William Faulkners "The Bear" and Herman Melvilles Moby-Dick.

This book gives me a deep impression especially the description about the man’s braveness and persistence.

In this book, in order to suggest the profundity of the old man’s sacrifice and the glory that derives from it, Hemingway purposefully likens Santiago to Christ, who, according to Christian theology, gave his life for the greater glory of humankind. Crucifixion imagery is the most noticeable way in which Hemingway creates the symbolic parallel between Santiago and Christ. When Santiago’s palms are first cut by his fishing line, the reader cannot help but think of Christ suffering his stigmata. Later, when the sharks arrive, Hemingway portrays the old man as a crucified martyr, saying that he makes a noise similar to that of a man having nails driven through his hands. Furthermore, the image of the old man struggling up the hill with his mast across his shoulders recalls Christ’s march toward Calvary. Even the position in which Santiago collapses on his bed—face down with his arms out straight and the palms of his hands up—brings to mind the image of Christ suffering on the cross. Hemingway employs these images in the final pages of the novella in order to link Santiago to Christ, who exemplified transcendence by turning loss into gain, defeat into triumph, and even death into renewed life.

The major characters in this book are also vivid and lively.

Santiago?,the old man of the novella’s title, Santiago is a Cuban fisherman who has had an extended run of bad luck. Despite his expertise, he has been unable to catch a fish for eighty-four days. He is humble, yet exhibits a justified pride in his abilities. His knowledge of the sea and its creatures, and of his craft, is unparalleled and helps him preserve a sense of hope regardless of circumstance.

The marlin?,Santiago hooks the marlin, which we learn at the end of the novella measures eighteen feet, on the first afternoon of his fishing expedition. Manolin?,a boy presumably in his adolescence, Manolin is Santiago’s apprentice and devoted attendant. The old man first took him out on a boat when he was merely five years old. Due to Santiago’s recent bad luck, Manolin’s parents have forced the boy to go out on a different fishing boat. Manolin, however, still cares deeply for the old man, to whom he continues to look as a mentor.

Joe DiMaggio, although DiMaggio never appears in the novel, he plays a significant role nonetheless. Santiago worships him as a model of strength and commitment, and his thoughts turn toward DiMaggio whenever he needs to reassure himself of his own strength. Perico ?,Perico, the reader assumes, owns the bodega in Santiago’s village. He never appears in the novel, but he serves an important role in the fisherman’s life by providing him with newspapers that report the baseball scores. This act establishes him as a kind man who helps the aging Santiago.

Martin,like Perico, Martin, a café owner in Santiago’s village, does not appear in the story. The reader learns of him through Manolin, who often goes to Martin for Santiago’s supper. As the old man says, Martin is a man of frequent kindness who deserves to be repaid.

From the very first paragraph, Santiago is characterized as someone struggling against defeat. He has gone eighty-four days without catching a fish—he will soon pass his own record of eighty-seven days. Almost as a reminder of Santiago’s struggle, the sail of his skiff resembles “the flag of permanent defeat.” But the old man refuses defeat at every turn: he resolves to sail out beyond the other fishermen to where the biggest fish promise to be. He lands the marlin, tying his record of eighty-seven days after a brutal three-day fight, and he continues to ward off sharks from stealing his prey, even though he knows the battle is useless.

Because Santiago is pitted against the creatures of the sea, some readers choose to view the tale as a chronicle of man’s battle against the natural world, but the novella is, more accurately, the story of man’s place within nature. Both Santiago and the marlin display qualities of pride, honor, and bravery, and both are subject to the same eternal law: they must kill or be killed. As Santiago reflects when he watches the weary warbler fly toward shore, where it will inevitably meet the hawk, the world is filled with predators, and no living thing can escape the inevitable struggle that will lead to its death. Santiago lives according to his own observation: “man is not made for defeat . . . [a] man can be destroyed but not defeated.” In Hemingway’s portrait of the world, death is inevitable, but the best men (and animals) will nonetheless refuse to give in to its power. Accordingly, man and fish will struggle to the death, just as hungry sharks will lay waste to an old man’s trophy catch.

The novel suggests that it is possible to transcend this natural law. In fact, the very inevitability of destruction creates the terms that allow a worthy man or beast to transcend it. It is precisely through the effort to battle the inevitable that a man can prove himself. Indeed, a man can prove this determination over and over through the worthiness of the opponents he chooses to face. Santiago finds the marlin worthy of a fight, just as he once found “the great negro of Cienfuegos” worthy. HSantiago, though destroyed at the end of the novella, is never defeated. Instead, he emerges as a hero. Santiago’s struggle does not enable him to change man’s place in the world. Rather, it enables him to meet his most dignified destiny.

While it is certainly true that Santiago’s eighty-four-day run of bad luck is an affront to his pride as a masterful fisherman, and that his attempt to bear out his skills by sailing far into the gulf waters leads to disaster, Hemingway does not condemn his protagonist for being full of pride. On the contrary, Santiago stands as proof that pride motivates men to greatness. Because the old man acknowledges that he killed the mighty marlin largely out of pride, and because his capture of the marlin leads in turn to his heroic transcendence of defeat, pride becomes the source of Santiago’s greatest strength. Without a ferocious sense of pride, that battle would never have been fought, or more likely, it would have been abandoned before the end.

Santiago’s pride also motivates his desire to transcend the destructive forces of nature. Throughout the novel, no matter how baleful his circumstances become, the old man exhibits an unflagging determination to catch the marlin and bring it to shore. When the first shark arrives, Santiago’s resolve is mentioned twice in the space of just a few paragraphs. Even if the old man had returned with the marlin intact, his moment of glory, like the marlin’s meat, would have been short-lived. The glory and honor Santiago accrues comes not from his battle itself but from his pride and determination to fight.

Santiago dreams his pleasant dream of the lions at play on the beaches of Africa three times. The first time is the night before he departs on his three-day fishing expedition, the second occurs when he sleeps on the boat for a few hours in the middle of his struggle with the marlin, and the third takes place at the very end of the book. In fact, the sober promise of the triumph and regeneration with which the novella closes is supported by the final image of the lions. Because Santiago associates the lions with his youth, the dream suggests the circular nature of life. Additionally, because Santiago imagines the lions, fierce predators, playing, his dream suggests a harmony between the opposing forces—life and death, love and hate, destruction and regeneration—of nature.

This book gives me courage of conquering all kinds of difficulties .And I have the belief that the most beautiful thing is the process that we make our best to achieve our dream,and never say give up .

当他/她跌倒在街上时，你应该帮助老人吗?

当前，随着社会经济的发展，出现了一系列社会问题。为了分析这一现象，北京三所大学联合发布了一项民意调查，“当老人摔倒在街上时，你应该帮助老人吗?”。

从本次调查的结果，我们知道，百分之29.6的人被调查认为，他们是否帮助老人或不将根据情况。帮助老人的人最多，他们占百分之64.8。也有百分之8.3个认为老人不应该帮助。

他们为什么不帮助老人在街上跌倒呢?其中百分之5.3是缺乏医学知识。百分之7.2的人认为这与他们无关。但少校，其中百分之87.4人害怕惹上麻烦。

通过这个结果，我们可以清楚地看到人们之间的信任危机。真诚和自信被虚伪和虚伪所取代。谨慎和警惕根深蒂固。

在我看来，我们都应该互相帮助。尊重和爱护老人是中华民族的传统美德。当我们遇到这种情况时，我们最好打电话给卫生保健人员寻求帮助。因为我们缺乏医学知识可能会对老年人造成更多伤害。我希望生活中少一些伤害和更多的虫子。

I was very favor of a section of music in its balls. It’s pretty brisk, liked a wonderful song of a bird. Regarding to the characters, I liked Elizabeth, the he-ro-in-e,though I didn’t think she’s beautiful. But she’s smart. However, I didn’t pay much attention to the plot. I thought it’s so long that it made me impatient and bored. By now, I haven’t read the whole story in English or its Chinese version, either. I owe it to my prejudice. In fact, I didn’t understand the story at that time. I didn’t know why it called Pride and Prejudice. Of course someone was pride, but I didn’t find where’ s the prejudice. I thought it’s normal, the way people treated each other in that. I considered prejudice would be very disgusting. But to the movie everthing was OK in my minds, except its length. Now, I think I have understood more about it. I’m a prejudiced person so I can’t find where’s wrong.

I merely like to do the things I like. Everytime I meet somebody or something,my thinking about he or it all depends on my foregone experience and my mood of the time.

Was reading the big fish’s smell of blood is smelled by one crowd of shark fish, struggled swims snatches the food, old person’s left hand happen to in the convulsions, he only could use the right hand, with wooden stick， the mouth and so on all was allowed to use for the weapon self-defense which attacked, and finally expelled this crowd of shark fish. But the big fish’s meat was already eaten one most, but the old person also charmingly criticized oneself the left hand " this work time actually was resting " time, I also was subdued by the old person optimistic spirit. In the life, some losses are inevitable, we should treat by the optimistic manner, cannot be calculating.

Finally, the novel sees by one youth the senior fisherman fully has 18 foot long big marlin in the measure, once more described this fish’s hugeness, explained senior fisherman overcomes the difficulty was big, non- was more common than.

The novel eulogized the spirit which the senior fisherman fear hard and dangerous diligently did not struggle, we also should like his such, could not satisfy the present situation, should positively to above, do any matter all is relentless, meets difficultly must welcome difficultly above, could give up halfway in no way. Only has this, we only then can obtain a bigger success and the victory.

Santiago, an old man about sixty years old, fished alone with nothing caught in eighty four days. No one would like to talk to him for his extremely bad luck except a boy who always came to help after the day and finally left to another boat under the pressure of his parents. Ignoring the contempt from the younger fishermen and sympathy from the older, on the morning of the 85th day, the old man started his fishing with determination and rowed his old boat very far in the sea where he believed there would be big fish. Fortunately the old man met with a big fish as he had wished and finally defeated the big Marlin with two days and nights struggle after overcoming great difficulties. But more unfortunately there were many sharks coming after his boat attracted by the smell of the blood of the big Marlin. After death-and-life struggle, when he finally got rid of the sharks coming after the boat, the big Marlin was bare skeleton.

The Old Man and the Sea tells a frustrated experience of the old man who fishes alone in the sea in plain languages. Through the simple lines, a “tough guy” image is shaped and heroism is praised. The whole story starts with a peaceful beginning which is some trivial of life and talking with the boy, and suddenly turns to its climax which is the dangerous fighting with the big fish and sharks alone in the sea, and ends with the old man’s return with the bare skeleton of the big Marlin. Though the boy only appears at the beginning and the ending in the novel, he plays an indispensible role, it is his inspiring and supporting that helps the old man to be “graceful under heavy pressure”.

In the book, the old man prepared his fishing properly and preciously than any other fishermen so that “Then when luck comes you are ready” as the old man thought to himself. In reality, some of us keep complaining that they are born in wrong time or good luck never knocks their doors. In fact, good luck sometimes just comes when they are not ready. Taking Newton for example, if he had not acquired a lot, millions of apples could never make him discovery the gravity. So if we just keep studying as much as we can, good luck will finally find us and a bright future is ahead of us. The old man never gives up hope. When all of people think he is doomed, he still strongly believes that he will get a big fish. And he does. So never giving up hope is very important to us. This reminded me of the sentence in Churchill’s speech “Never give up, never, never, never…”. “But man is not made for defeat. A man can be destroyed but not defeated” has always been inspiring me when I counter with some setbacks in my life. Setbacks are inevitable in pursuit of our goals, but we should never be frustrated and should be “graceful under heavy pressure” like the old man. It is his relentless pursuit that contributes to the victory.

As the saying goes, filial piety is the most important in all virtues. To respect the elderly is the Chinese traditional virtue. To respect the elderly is also the progress of human science development. If human have proper thoughts, the society can develop healthily. To care the elders is not only for a child and a family, but also for a society and a country. So this problem has become a hot issue.

As children, they should take care of the elderly in material and spirit. For example, they ought to go back home often to see their parents and accompany them. As the government, they should perfect the legal, because the system is far from perfect. What’s more, the government should provide assistance for the elderly.

The double ninth festival is also the old man festival, we should do something to respect. I prepare for raising I grow up grandpa bubble a cup of Longjing tea is sweet and delicious.

I first take out the Longjing tea from the cupboard, caught with the hand a little tea in the cup. Then less than half a cup of hot water in the cup, shake the cup, such as water becomes a little yellow, pour out the water, pour a full cup of hot water. Gradually, the tea began to float, and slowly sinking. Tea doll really naughty, they sometimes in the middle of the glass float to fall away, some play slowly rising in the "air", and thus sleeping in the bottom of a glass! The water in the cup a bit yellow. I wait for a while, the tea is yellow and red now, at this moment, a fragrance drill straight into my nose.

Tea is ready, I carefully with Longjing tea came to grandpa, to grandpa said: "grandpa, thank you to raise me from the boys to the age of four, you made a lot of things for me, today, would you please to have a taste I have bubble tea!" Grandpa was very happy, hurriedly took a mouthful and stroked my head and said: "very delicious, snow is great!"

I think: grandpa always cherished to me, I also want to care about more later grandpa.

The Double Ninth Festival is coming. Every family is busy preparing for the

Double Ninth Festival. My home is no exception. Look, my father is making

Chongyang cake, my mother is making Chongyang wine, and my grandparents are

cooking. As for me, of course, its backup support - preparing materials for

grandparents.

After a while, I ran sweating. Watching my grandparents and parents cooking

food, I was a little jealous. Why can they make food, I cant. Watch me cook a

dish to impress them. So I sneaked to my grandparents and took some materials.

Without looking at them, I poured them into the pot. I picked up the spatula and

began to fry. But when I was frying, I felt something wrong. I always felt that

a strange smell floated around in the air. I looked into the pot. It turned out

that the materials I took were chocolate sauce and eggs, and fried them into

chocolate flavored eggs. My grandmother wanted to put materials into the pot.

When the eggs and chocolate sauce were gone, she called me, "Congcong, buy me

some materials. Im short of eggs and chocolate sauce." well, I thought in my

heart, so I had to tell the story again.

So I told the story in detail. Grandma laughed and said, "congcongcong,

grandma, Ill teach you a dish, but I want to buy some materials. I dont know

if youd like to?" "of course I do!" as I said, I ran out of the house quickly

and bought materials back. "This dish is called God robbery. Its done like

this: smash the eggs, put the beaten eggs into the mold, pour some water, put

the gluten into the mold, put some small chocolate on it, and then heat it in

the microwave for 10 minutes." who knows, its not done well this time, but its

made into something full of water.

The second time, just like the last time. Just when I was ready to give up,

I saw the spiders outside. I thought: since the spiders web is broken, the

spider can still weave again. Spiders have such a persistent spirit, why cant

I? So I started the third time. I did every step carefully and finally did the

God robbery. I took a bite. It was delicious.

This time, let me taste not

only the sweetness in my mouth, but also the sweetness in my heart.

Whenever the autumn, chrysanthemum fragrance of the season, we will usher in a special holiday - Chung Yeung Festival.

More than a thousand years ago, Du Fu Deng overlooking the ancient chanting of the ages - "September 9th Shandong brothers": "alone in a foreign land for the stranger, every festive times. Add corneles less one. "Through the clouds of history, but also a year Chung Yeung, then the song classic, like the voice of ... ...

In the evening of tranquility, I stood alone under a tree beside the avenue, and the sun slipped down, and crumpled through the fallen leaves, and cast a light in my eyes. And I was not able to get warm from that light, and feel that there is a bleak from the bone marrow. To see that the leaves of the leaves Guanghua no longer, even in this warm wind is also shivering cold, can not hold to fall down, like butterflies beautiful dance, and then attributed to loneliness. Wrap away, I feel like the abandoned and forgotten leaves, distant friends, in this distant city to breathe strange air, chewing thoughts of bitter fruit.

Out of the window, bursts of autumn winds, I once again looked up to see those flying in the air dead leaves. Suddenly feel that they are like a natural letterhead, and love is a passage of the world stamps, dead leaves exhausted the last life burned into a ray of brilliant, to countless off relatives and friends to send warmth and blessing, let the world no longer alone. The original as long as the heart of India, the distance will never block the truth; in fact, as long as the truth forever, End of the World but also close proximity.

每当秋高气爽，菊花飘香的时节，我们就会迎来一个特殊的节日--重阳节。

一千多年前的今天，杜甫登高远眺吟出千古绝唱——《九月九日忆山东兄弟》：“独在异乡为异客，每逢佳节倍思亲。遥知兄弟登高处，遍插茱萸少一人。”穿越历史的烟云，又是一年重阳，再颂经典，宛如心声……

宁静的傍晚，我独自一人站在林荫道旁的一棵树下，阳光斜斜地洒下来，细碎地穿过零落的树叶，在我的眼睛里投下斑斑驳驳的亮光。而我却丝毫不能从那光芒中获得温暖，反觉得有一种从骨髓中散出的凄冷。看那枯黄的树叶光华不再，即便在这温暖的风中也冻得瑟瑟发抖，坚持不住就要飘落下来，像蝴蝶绝美的舞蹈，而后归于寂寞。裹衣离开，我感觉自己就像那些被抛弃和遗忘的败叶，远隔亲人好友，在这遥远的城市呼吸陌生的空气，咀嚼思念的苦果。

窗外，阵阵秋风吹袭，我再一次抬头看那些纷飞在空中的枯叶。忽然觉得它们很像自然的信笺，而关爱是一枚通行世界的邮票，枯叶用尽最后的生命燃烧成一缕缕灿烂，给无数异地的亲朋好友传递温情与祝福，让世界不再孤单。原来只要心心相印，距离永不会阻隔真情;其实只要真情恒久，天涯也不过咫尺比邻。
