As we know, safety is the most important thing in our lives. So, we should
try our best to make sure we are safe. We mustn’t bring restricted knives or
things to our school because these things may cause serious problems. Do not
have a bath in rivers or ponds by ourselves without our parents’ permission.
And, we should be friendly to others so fighting is strongly banned. Make sure
that we should always pay attention to the traffic on our way to school or home.
Furthermore, if we meet some emergency, we must call for help from the police or
our teachers. In a word, following these safeties rules above can make us live
in peace.

篇8:我有我的方式作文
全文共 1047 字
+ 加入清单最近,老师布置我们去研读儒家文化,为了体会这份文化精髓,这份中华血脉中的信仰,我决心要以我的方式细细“研读”。
来到孔庙,侧身走在窄小的石砖胡同,轻轻叩开门环,用手掌推开落满槐花的大门,跨过门槛。来到院中一口古钟前,双手抓紧绳端一摇,持久,低沉的古音从青绿大钟的底部缓缓传来,钟声的深沉渐地让我联想着当年的孔子是否也曾摇过这口老钟,在钟声悠悠中信步走来?是否他的弟子会伴着这钟声,与老师用古语问候,而后拾起书卷?是否他们也会像我一样,被钟声吸引,对儒家文化充满向往?
坐在孔庙钟宇的大殿前,我想要亲临地,观看儒家传来的礼教。十几名男子着淡蓝长袍,挽起的发髻,束起的布带,端起的竹简,他们从几扇打开的门中缓缓迈入。一蹲一停,他们单膝跪下,将手卷置于身旁,双手手掌扶地,向着孔子像叩头。我望着他们的布袍一起一伏,浅浅的褶皱一痕一痕,头前的发丝一垂一起,终于懂得这幅春秋时期的场面,这儒家礼教的深厚。这一叩一拜中充满了多少礼仪的学问,它代表了孔圣人对弟子的教诲,代表了儒家礼教的风貌,代表了儒家文化的深厚以及重视品行的内涵。
孔庙中的一间展馆中有一卷竹简做的《论语》,我用手拾起它,解开缠绕着的细绳,展开长卷,学着古人朗诵的方式,将卷轴举起,摇头吟哦“子曰:‘学而不思则罔,思而不学则殆’。”那是孔子对着向他求教的学生,严厉而又深刻地教导;“子曰:‘学而不厌,诲人不倦,何有于我哉!’”那是孔子托着长衫踱步时意味深长的感叹;“仁者乐山,智者乐水。”那是孔子在山水间游历,在青山岫云间仰望,在水波荡漾间撑小舟随波浮行后的感慨。一部《论语》,凝聚了儒家的理念与思想,又再现了孔子慨叹出这些的场面与意境。
回到学校,听着同学们抱怨网上关于儒家的简介太晦涩,《论语》上的文言用语难以理解,儒家礼教的内容无处可找。看着他们忙着翻书查资料,我笑笑。或许这就是现在大多数人“读”古典的方式,只是将书上内容死死地往脑里塞,一遍一遍毫无感情地机械式地读出,就这样不停地反复,直到脑子似乎腾出些地方来让他记忆,才能把它浅浅地装进脑去。而用这样的方式研读,能读到些什么?能读出些什么?能读懂些什么?能读懂孔庙中古钟悠深的乐音?能读懂儒家礼教的叩拜之意?能读懂《论语》中孔子的经历与深刻的思想?还是能读懂这文化,这中华血脉中深厚的一部分?
或许,只有真正接近了文化,才得以将它研磨透彻。文化本身,是需要用心来感受的,而不是泛泛地,刻板地印入脑中。
只有接近了文化,才能体会出其中的意境,得以将文化渗入骨髓。我用我的方式,研读了这份文化。

I’m so hapy to learn that you want to learn Chinese in Zunyi Teachers’ College here.There is no doubt that to learn Chinese well is by no means an easy thing, but I have some ideas that may help.
Firstly, it is important to listen to the teacher carefully in class and take notes so that you can go over your lessons later.Secondly, try to practise speaking Chinese as much as possible out of class and write down whatever you hear to accunulate more commonly-used words and idioms.Don’t be afraid of making mistakes.And try to communicate with local people to develop your listening ability.Last but not least, you should organize your time and do lots of exercise.
I think the most important thing is that you should believe in yourself.I’m sure that you will suceed after your hard work.

media, the worse thing is that the media always report the negative sides. So
when they come to China and realize things are much funny here. Before we make
judgment, we need to search the overall information, or it is better for us to

The word “ballet” itself is French, and comes from the Italian word ballo, meaning “a dance.” Ballet dancing, as we know it today, is a result of influences from many countries. Italy, France, Russia, England, and America have all contributed important elements to this style of dance.
Highly technical, ballet is always performed to music and often tells a story. Though learning this style of dance is a difficult process, the results on stage are magical. The graceful moves display the body in the most elegant and beautiful manner possible.

篇20:父亲节英文日记
全文共 1767 字
+ 加入清单Fathers Day is a holiday to celebrate fatherhood and parenting by males,
just as Mothers Day celebrates motherhood. Typically giving gifts to fathers
and celebrating as a family is the main event of the day. Fathers Day is
celebrated on different days in different countries.
Fathers Day exists almost all over the world to honor and commemorate
fathers or forefathers. In the Roman Catholic tradition, Fathers Day is
celebrated on Saint Josephs Day, March 19, though in most countries Fathers
Day is a secular celebration.
In recent years, retailers have adapted to the holiday by selling
male-oriented gifts such as electronics and tools. Schools and other childrens
programs commonly have activities to make Fathers Day gifts.
In the United States, the driving force behind the establishment of the
celebration of Fathers Day was Mrs Sonora Smart Dodd, born in Creston,
Washington. Her father, the Civil War veteran William Jackson Smart, as a single
parent raised his six children in Spokane, Washington. She was inspired by Anna
Jarviss efforts to establish Mothers Day. Although she initially suggested
June 5, the anniversary of her fathers death, she did not provide the
organizers with enough time to make arrangements, and the celebration was
deferred to the third Sunday of June. The first Fathers Day was celebrated on
June 19, 1910, in Spokane.
Unofficial support from such figures as William Jennings Bryan was
immediate and widespread. President Woodrow Wilson was personally feted by his
family in 1916. President Calvin Coolidge recommended it as a national holiday
in 1924. In 1966, President Lyndon Johnson made Fathers Day a holiday to be
celebrated on the third Sunday of June. The holiday was not officially
recognized until 1972, during the presidency of Richard Nixon.
