In 2014, a show called Where Are We Going, Dad was popular around China, in the show, five famous stars and dads with their children went to the countryside to experience the life.

This is the first time for the audience can look at the celebrities’ children, the kids are so lovely that all the audiences love them. Now a new show which is similar to the mentioned show becomes a new hot topic, but this time, half audience love the stars’ kids, the ones who don’t like them think that the kids are not as lovely as the ones before, even look ugly. So the audience speaks bad words in the Weibo, showing their dislike. As an outsider, I think it is so cruel to the kids, they are so young and innocent, they don’t know about the world, why should they deserve those vicious words.

Imagine if they are your kids, what will you do? People should be mercy to the kids.

在2014年，一个叫《爸爸去哪儿》的节目火爆全中国，在节目中，五个著名的星爸和他们的孩子下乡体验生活。

这是观众第一次有机会观看名人的孩子，这些孩子都很可爱，所有的观众都喜欢他们。现在一个新的类似的节目成为了焦点，但是这一次，只有一半的观众喜欢明星的孩子，不喜欢的人觉得有些孩子不像之前的可爱，长得不好看。因此观众在微博上对这些孩子留下恶言，以此来表示他们的不喜欢。作为一名局外人，我觉得这对孩子来说很残酷，他们是那么的年轻和天真，对世界都了解不深，为什么他们要承受这样恶毒的话。

想象一下，如果这是你的孩子，你会怎么做呢?人们应该对孩子仁慈点。

Who is how many years, every day in the laundry to cook for us, who are both in sorching summer, or in the snow after send us to school, and hurried off to work, who is lets us grow from day to day in her arms, and she is getting old, who has raised us, but I do not wish for any return. Is mother! Life, some people are looking for a mothers love, but dont ignore the ubiquity of maternal love!

Remember the night I was only five years old, it was raining, I have a fever, my father on a business trip is not at home, mother picked up I will go to the hospital, my mother in the hospital a night didnt sleep a wink, eyes staring at the bottle of intravenous drip, until my fever is gone, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then my mother again give me water, and to buy me a delicious. Looked at his mother busy figure, I secretly in my heart swear: must study hard repay mother.

Another time, just learning English month, I had to 81 points, the bottom of the class. In the face of such scores, I would be ready to get training, returned home after mother knew, not only not scold me, comfort me, dont lose heart, and now the English course at the beginning, as long as you listen more from now on, read more, write more, practice more. Performance will improve soon. Mother said. This time is I overlooked your English study, later I accompany you a piece of learning. This situation really than scold me, hit me also makes me uncomfortable. From then on, no matter how busy mom, always "nutrition" for me, everything comes to him who waits, the mid-term exam, I achieved good scores of 95 points.

Mother, you have to use solid arms hold up a piece of blue sky for me, when I am frustrated fall, is the care you with infinite comfort me, encouraged me, so I can stand up again. Today, I will use my growing plump wings for you -- -- my mother from the rain.

母亲，是我们一出生都值得感恩的人。多少个岁月，是谁每天起早贪黑的为我们洗衣做饭，是谁无论在炎炎夏日，还是在冰天雪地送我们上学之后，又匆匆赶去上班，是谁让我们在她的臂弯一天天成长，而她却一天天变老，是谁养育了我们，却不求任何的回报。是母亲!生活中，有些人在寻找着母爱，却不忽略了无处不在的母爱!

记得5岁那年的一天晚上，天下着雨，我发烧了，父亲出差不在家，母亲抱起我就去医院，在医院里妈妈一宿没合眼，两眼一直盯着瓶子里的点滴，直到我的发烧退了，妈妈才长舒了一口气。接着妈妈又是给我喂水，又是给我买好吃的。看着妈妈忙碌的身影，我暗暗在心里发誓：一定要努力学习报答妈妈。

还有一次，刚学英语月考时，我只得了81分，全班倒数几名。面对这样的分数，我做好了挨训的准备，回到家妈妈知道后，不但没有训我，反而安慰我，不要灰心，现在英语这门课刚开始，只要你从现在开始多听，多读，多写，多练习。成绩会提高很快。妈妈还说。这段时间是我忽略了你的英语学习，以后我陪你一块学。这情景真比骂我，打我还令我难受。从那以后，妈妈不管多忙，总是为我“补充营养”，功夫不负有心人，期中考试时，我取得了95分的好成绩。

母亲，您曾用坚实的臂弯为我撑起一片蓝天，当我受到挫折跌倒时，是您用无限的关怀安慰我，鼓励我，使我能重新站起来。而今，我也要用我日益丰满的羽翼为您————我的妈妈遮风挡雨。

I hope my stamp collection will grow slowly in clude foreing stamps. i can collect more stamps from letters.

新学期的开始，每一位同学都会从新开始认识自己的老师，而我也不例外。

我的英语老师是一个又瘦又帅的人。他讲课时，会有几分钟的玩笑时间，所以我们班的每个同学都喜欢他的英语课，而他也不喜欢我们在他的课上表现出昏昏欲睡或者是整个班死气沉沉。如果那 样，他会很不高兴，从而不给我们讲课。

因从我们每一个人都不会这样做的，而且会紧绷着自己的神经，生怕会在他的课上犯困。但如果我们让他高兴了，他会很高兴上我们的课程，而且会给我们讲笑话，逗得我们哈哈大笑，使得课堂气 氛非常活跃。

而这就是我的英语老师。

Then you can save useful webpages which get you out of the time-consuming information. Last but not least, we should be self-control and never be attracted by the distracting information.

这个暑假是一段美好的时光，发生了许许多多有趣的事情。其中印象最深的一件事，就是那次和弟弟一起下河捕鱼。那天，妈妈骑着电动车，带着我和弟弟去网红桥捕鱼，路很远，走的时间很长，路上我们三个人一起聊着天有说有笑。

到了桥边，我和弟弟各拿一只小鱼网，来到了浅水区。河水清澈见底，一条一条活泼可爱的小鱼在脚下走来走去。弟弟兴奋地喊着：妈哇，这里有好多小鱼啊!我朝弟弟做了嘘的动作，示意他别出声。因为有一条红色的小鱼正在我跟前呢。我一动不动的站在那里，就等小鱼入网啦!

捕鱼这件事，一定要静下心来。万万不可心急，要是心一急小鱼一下子就跑啦。等小鱼靠近我的网子时候，我一下子就把它捞上来了。

我们捞了一会感觉很没有意思，便去河边，我们走遍了河边，连一条小鱼都没见。妈妈告诉我们，要想捕大一点的鱼，就要到有草的地方。这一招你别说，还挺好使，弟弟立马就抓到了一条大鱼苗。我也去草丛下面捞，每次都多多少少的捕到了一些比较大的小鱼。

正在这时，一件意想不到的事情就此发生了，一只红色的大钳子出现了!我大喊着让弟弟过来，我们一起将这个小东西给捞出来，我定睛一看。这不是小龙虾吗?我和弟弟开心极啦!我俩小心翼翼地靠近了小龙虾，用迅雷不及掩耳之势，将小龙虾捕到了网子里。我们把龙虾交给了妈妈。妈妈也很高兴，还顺便发了个朋友圈呢。

回到家，我们把小龙虾养在盆子里。我跟弟弟说，下次咱俩再去给它捞一个小伙伴吧!弟弟笑了，妈妈也笑了。

在这个暑假我把我的暑假排的满满的，这暑假除了做完老师布置的作业，我还阅读了许多的课外书，饱览了许多的知识，我还温故了以前学习的知识，预习了新的学期所学知识的内容，做好了充分的准备，便带着紧张的心情迎接这新的学期。

首先，我把五年级所学过的知识又重新温习了一遍，对那些以前掌握的不是很扎实的知识点做了深入的学习。虽然在假期里，爸爸劝我要多休息，但是，我觉得学习是一件很令人高兴的事情，我做出了以前没有搞懂的题目，感觉很是舒服。如果我每天不学习几个小时，我都会感觉到空虚。当然，我也有玩的时候。

然后，我便开始了在书海中遨游的快乐旅程。一放暑假，我就一头扎入书的海洋，在书中寻找我的快乐。整个暑假，我读了很多好书，有从图书馆借的，有从书店买的，还有在网络上找到的，这些书让我掌握了很多课堂上学不到的知识，也让我开开心心地度过了暑假。有这么多好书的陪伴，我的暑假过得又充实，又快乐。

Christmas Day-December 25-which celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ, the founder of the Christian religion, is the biggest and best-loved holiday in the Christian World.

According to the Bible, the holy book of Christians, God decided to allow his only son, Jesus Christ, to be born to a human mother and live on earth so that people could understand God better and learn to love God and each other more. "Christmas"- meaning "celebration of Christ "- honors the time when Jesus was born to a young Jewish woman Mary.

Mary was engaged to be married to Joseph, a carpenter, but before they came together, she was found to be with child. Because Joseph, her husband, was a righteous man and did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly.

But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins."

Although the exact date of the birth of Jesus nearly 2,000 years ago is not known, the calendar on the supposed date divides all time into B.C. (Before Christ )and A.D. ( a Latin phrase, Anno Domini, "in the year of our Lord.") For the first 300 years, Jesus birthday was celebrated on different dates. Finally, in the year 354, church leaders chose December 25 as his birthday.

Firstly, swimming alone in the river is also very dangerous, especially for students. Accidents are unpredictable and no one will help or even know if they are alone.

Furthermore, it is important for students to be careful while on their way to and from school. As the traffic becomes busy, students have to be alert while using the roads and follow the traffic instructions.

Lastly, student can always tell their teacher or contact the local police whenever they are in problem. With that, they can get help as soon as possible and assure their safety.

大家好，我叫周原，是个小学生，在上二年级。我的皮肤白白的，圆圆的脸上长着一双明亮的大眼睛。

我还是一个贪吃的男孩子，看到了好吃的，我就会快速地跑回家，叫妈妈给我零花钱。

I was a greedy boy, see good, I quickly ran home, mom to give me pocket money.

我还是一个粗心大意的小男孩，有一次考试我把幸福的“幸”写成了辛苦的“辛”，考了个99分，下次我一定不能再这样粗心大意了。

I was a little boy with a careless, I am happy to have a test in the "fortune" hard "Xin", got 99 points, the next time I must not be so careless.

这就是我，一个贪吃、粗心又可爱的小男孩。

This is me, a greedy, careless and lovely boy.

Summer can be very hot in southern taibei where the temperature usually goes up to 32"C or more. Because of the heat it is a trying experience to go to school or do anything else in a place that is not air-conditioned. Also because of this I stay at home most of the time during the summer vacation and only occasionally go to the beach to plunge myself into the cool water as a way to keep my body less sticky. Actually I like swimming and think nothing is more refreshing than a swim. In the summer vacation that has just ended I went swimming many times with my classmates and we all had a good time. This summer vacation, however, was not spent entirely in seeking fun. As a second-year senior student I had to prepare myself for the college entrance examinations that were only a year away. In other words, I must find time to study, too. So I divided my time between work and play during the summer vacation and derived much benefit from this arrangement.

I spent this summer vacation in quite a different way. I used to run about every day in previous summer vacations, but this summer vacation I simply could not afford to do so. I would soon be in the last year of my high-school education and would after graduation be up against the college entrance examinations. Though those examinations were still a year away, I had to start early to make myself well prepared by reviewing all those things I had learned at school and this summer vacation was the ideal time for me to do this. At first I was rather dismayed at the thought of this, but later I thought it was better this way because by working hard this summer I could count on endless happy summers to come. With this in mind I then set to work like anything and only occasionally went out for a change or did some physical. I was not at all bored by this kind of life, for I was sustained by a hope.
