we should plant more trees and flowers around us . we shouldn’t cut them down . we should stop factories from pouring waste water into the river and waste gas into the air.

whenever we see litter on the ground , we should pick it up and throw it into dusbins. never spit in public. don’t draw on public walls. it’s our duty to protect the environment.

保护环境，这个话题，可以说是家喻户晓，人人皆知。但在现实生活中，一些人还是不太重视，认为微不足道，在我看来，环保要从件件小事做起。我就经历过这样两件小事：有一天，我去超市买东西，快到超市门口时，看见有几个散发宣传单的，见人就给，见车就放，可是有些人却不要，随手就扔地上，我过去将纸扔进垃圾箱里。又看见两个人用胶水将宣传单贴在墙上，远远望去，活像一块块“牛皮癣”趁他们不注意，我又拿出我的绝活“撕纸功”，哈哈，“牛皮癣”被我除掉了一大片。还有一次，我在楼底玩，发现远处草地上冒出了缕缕白烟，走近一看，原来，是我们班一群小孩在那里点火烧草，草黑了一大片，我以大哥哥的身份连忙制止，并讲了火灾的危险性和环保的重要性。他们羞愧难当，赶忙从附近端来水把火熄灭，结束了烧草行动。

我们人类都生活在一个星球上，那就是地球。地球上，有供我们呼吸的氧气，还有茂密的森林、辽阔的草原、无边无际的海洋、各种各样的动物，构成了美丽的大自然。

可是有些人不珍惜地球赐予我们的一切，破坏大自然，大量捕杀野生动物。加之各种破坏环境的做法，给我们的大自然带来了越来越多的灾难，漫漫的黄沙代替了绿色的林海，波涛汹涌的江河变成了干涸的河床，美丽的风景区变成了荒野。还有大气污染、臭氧层有破洞等这些现象都是人们不保护环境的带来了恶果。从前，我家乡的空气是清新的，天空是湛蓝的，真像一幅五彩缤纷的画，好不美丽!但现在，车子它排出了污染空气的乌烟，多了工厂后，排出了污水，水变成黑色发出臭味，造成严重的污染。我家乡附近有一个垃圾筒，人们把垃圾倒在这里，甚至有些人还把垃圾丢在垃圾筒外。每到夏天，这里就成了苍蝇蚊子之类的栖息地，风一吹，可恶的白色污染也来凑热闹。在垃圾筒旁有一口池塘，水上漂着一些泡沫垃圾，水又黑又脏，里面的鱼儿都已经死了，塘水死一般的寂静。

我想大声呼吁人们：地球属于我们人类，属于我们大家，只要用我们的双手，从我做起，从人人做起，保护环境，爱护地球上的自然资源，让清澈的塘水依旧流淌在家乡，让花儿依旧那样鲜花盛开。

人类啊，是应该觉醒的时候了，睁开眼，看看我们的周围，这是我们的家园啊，让我们从此金盆洗手，用自己的双手，用自己的智慧，用自己的良心，为我们的子子孙孙留下一个和谐、美丽的家园吧，让我们为我们世世代代的绵延生存做出一份努力吧!

here are many kinds of animals in the world,but not only the humans.we live in the same world,and we should be friends.as everybody knows,the humans are the rulers of the world today,so we should protect our friends--the animals!

But how to protect them?as first,i think we must stop killing the rare birds and animals,especially the young ones.the second,we have to protect the environment,to make the sky blue,to make the grass green,to give the animals a comfortable space to live

保护环境人人有责。我期待我们的家园越来越美好！

这几天我通过调查，发现了很多污染环境的现象。比如：涟水河畔来来往往的人很多，有的人往河里扔垃圾、丢果皮等，原本清澈的河水变得浑浊；美丽的碧洲公园地面上可见来往行人随手丢弃的果皮垃圾，变得不堪入眼；公园内的洗手间，行人大小便之后没有及时冲水，变得臭气熏天；还有随意放鞭炮和焚烧垃圾现象，让清新的空气弥漫了烟雾和灰尘。

公共场所乱吐痰、乱扔垃圾，引起各种苍蝇乱窜。如果没有环卫工人及时打扫的话，那我们的家园有这么美好吗？保护环境人人有责，呼吁全市人民行动起来，不但要珍惜环卫工人的劳动成果做到人人讲卫生，不随意丢弃果皮垃圾，还要共同保护环境多植树不污染环境。

垃圾不落地，城市更美丽。保护环境人人有责，让我们共创美好家园！

This is the first diary I’m writing in the youth summer camp.

Everything is new to me, new class, new teachers and new classmates. My

classmates are all good students and they can speak English well. I think I can

learn a lot from them, and I can make friends with them.

The teacher from china is full of emotion when giving a class. And her

class is very interesting. To my surprise our foreign teacher can speak chinese

very well, but in my opinion, her class is a little boring. She should have made

the class more active.

Compared to my school, Zhejiang University seems so big that it takes us a

few minutes to commute between the classroom and cafeteria.

I wish myself good luck and have a good holiday here!

这是我在青年夏令营写的第一篇日记。

一切对我来说都是新鲜的，新的班级，新的老师和新的同学。我的同学都是好学生，他们英语讲得很好。我想我可以从他们身上学到很多，我可以和他们交朋友。

这位来自中国的老师讲课时感慨万千。她的课很有趣。令我惊讶的是，我们的外教汉语讲得很好，但在我看来，她的课有点无聊。她本该让全班更活跃。

与我的学校相比，浙江大学似乎太大了，我们从教室到食堂之间要花上几分钟的时间。

祝自己好运，在这里度过一个愉快的假期!

我喜欢爬山，因为爬山可以锻炼身体，可以欣赏风景，爸爸说还可以陶冶情操，是什么意思我不太懂，应该是很大的好处吧。 I like to climb mountains, because climbing can exercise the body and appreciate the scenery. Dad said that it can cultivate sentiment. What does it mean that?Bar.

青岛的崂山、浮山、毛公山、大珠山、小珠山、信号山、嘉定山等等大山小山都留下过我的身影。每次爬山，爸爸都会给我讲关于山的一些故事，我很喜欢听，“崂山道士”“金蟾望海”“珠山传说”“八仙过海”，每次爬山的故事都不一样，但每次爸爸都会跟我讲同一件事情，就是“爱护环境，不乱扔垃圾”。

记得第一次爬崂山的时候，我把吃剩下的香蕉皮随手扔在了山路旁边。爸爸看见了，很严肃的告诉我要把香蕉皮捡起来，我说这里又没有垃圾桶怎么办?爸爸打开背包递给我一个塑料袋，让我把香蕉皮放到塑料袋里，并且告诉我，我们爬山是来欣赏风景的，美丽的风景才能给大家带来愉悦的心情，如果每个爬山的人都随手乱丢垃圾，那风景就不美丽了，山也就会变成垃圾山，地球也就会变成垃圾地球了，所以我们每个人都有责任保护环境，保护地球。“保护环境，从我做起!”我大声告诉爸爸，爸爸高兴的笑了。

从那以后，每次爬山，爸爸都会分给我们每人一个塑料袋，不仅把我们自己的垃圾装到袋子里，而且还会把沿途看到的空瓶子、食品袋等垃圾捡起来，我们还比赛谁的袋子装的多呢?哈哈，有好几次我都是第一名，爸爸说我是家里的环保小冠军。更有意思的是，在好几次爬山的时候，我还看到有别的叔叔阿姨也这样做了，还夸奖我呢，我心里美滋滋的。

在学校里，老师也经常告诉我们要爱护环境，从自己做起，从身边小事做起。我想，在生活中如果每个人都能够认真的从自己做起，从不乱扔垃圾做起，我们的环境就会越来越好，天会更蓝，水也会更清，我们就会更幸福!

Through observation, I found that plastic bags on peoples harm and pollution is very large. People often use plastic bags: mother to buy food and plastic bags; to shopping malls with plastic bags; in the restaurant to eat rice is also packaged with plastic bags to take home; even I buy stationery also with plastic bags. People do not know what they do to the environment caused by pollution, their own body caused any harm. Such as: people often put useless plastic bags thrown into the garbage, plastic bags in the rubbish will be smelly, so that the pollution of the air. People also throw plastic bags anywhere, a wind, plastic bags flying in the sky, the branches also see the tree is a plastic bag, and even the river there are plastic bags. This plastic bag in addition to pollution of the air, but also polluted our water resources.

We should raise peoples awareness, tell us the neighbors and friends and family together to beautify our environment. On the road to see the plastic bag quickly picked up, immediately took it to the garbage disposal. We want to start from my use less plastic bags, so that my mother every day to buy food or shopping when they first take their own bags, this is not very environmentally friendly? Or can use their own holding things as far as possible by hand, no plastic bags.

As the saying goes: "to protect the environment, everyone is responsible" We have to protect the home environment out of a force.

星期二的早上，天空格外的蓝，空气也格外的清新。我的心情特别的好。我早早的跑到广场锻炼身体，我跑着跑着，“沙，沙......”咦!什么东西在我后面跟着，我猛一回头，定睛一看，原来是一团皱巴巴的纸团，在我身后当起我的小尾巴。不远处的几个垃圾在微风的吹拂下，在广场上你追我赶，像赶集似的。花坛处的两个叔叔正在边说边吃，还边扔垃圾，我的心头顿时涌上一股怒火：“哼!等着瞧!一会儿我就让你哑口无言。”我三下五去二，不一会就把垃圾捡到手，我抬起头看到清洁工老爷爷正在扫垃圾，我跑过去把垃圾放进爷爷的袋子里，老爷爷愣了一下，随后就笑了，低下头嘴里不住地说：“好孩子呀!好孩子。”我又捡了些垃圾，放进老爷爷的袋子里，老爷爷微笑的说：“哎呀!孩子，你不怕别人说你是捡垃圾的?”我笑了说：“我不怕。保护环境是我们应该做的。”这时，花坛处的两个叔叔停止了说笑，都张口结舌：“恩.——这个......”我得意地把眉头一挑，向家走去。温暖的阳光照在我身上......

From this cartoon, we can see that at the top end of the river,is a chemical factory and a paperrnaking factory which send out and poisonous wastes. And the river has been seriously polluted,n be seen from the color of it. Along this "black" river, there area few people selling fresh water which must have been taken from far away places.

At the first glance, it is very strange to us how can people sell water along the river, but this is the case, because the water in this river is undrinkable. This presents a serious social problem--environmental pollution. With the development of economy, our living standards have been greatly improved. But we can＇ t ignore the fact the air we take in and the water we drink today are not as fresh and clean as they used to be. Some kinds of pollution can even be deadly to people. It is high time that we took some measures to solve the problem.

I think we can first call people＇s attention to this problem so that they will be aware of the serious consequences of it. Then,we can pass certain laws to restrain the factories from sending out wastes. Finally, we can do more resarch work to find out ways to deal with the wastes.

Keep Square Clean, Tidy On Sunday, still on display on Tian＇anmen Square were dozens of floats that were paraded along Chang＇ an Avenue during the NationalDay celebrations. Thousands of people strolled on the narrow lanes be- tween the floats that fragmented the square, busily taking photos. Not far from the noisy crowds, yellow leaves fell nonchalantly from locust trees along the driveway, sending out the first signals of the coming autumn. But even if all the leaves fall, they still cannot cover the brown and black spots on the hitish stones in the huge square.

Such stains of chewing gum, stale oil or some worse blemish have remained a constant pain for city cleaners since the square ＇was re-opened a few months ago after renovations to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the founding of the People＇s Republic of China.

Few renovation project planners likely foresee this discouraging outcome. Originally, they merely intended to give the city a facelift. The square was indeed impeccable when new: The-white terrazzo surface not only looks clean but it was made with materials that help prevent it from becoming slippery.

However, as time goes by, the virtue becomes the vice: the surface attracts and accentuates dirt. As a result, China＇ s most high profile site has to suffer the indignity of being paraded daily efore thepublic in a humiliation state.

While the tourists who litter should bear the bulk of the blame, the renovation designers should also have learned something: including the square＇s sanitary maintenance issue into their consideration.

Private cars have become an important aspect of people’s life in many parts of our country,especially in large cities such as Beijing,Shanghai and Guangzhou.While they bring much convenience to people,they are also widely criticized.

There are some arguments for owning private cars.In the first place,cars allow people to move around freely,whichgreatly improves our living standard.We easily drive cars for traveling.In second place,When we have something urgent to do,cars are quick than other vehicles in some extent.Last but not least,the car industry can boost economy by creating many job opportunities.

However,there are also many arguments against cars.First of all,they pollute the environment by emitting harmful gases.What’s more,cars cause a large number of traffic accidents,which bring great misery to their family.

As far as I am concerned,we should limit the number of private cars by providing better mass transportation and better service for the people.Everyone should sacrifice his or her own interest for the mass society.

睁开眼，广袤的大漠，死寂的沙海。雄浑，静穆，这是一种单调的颜色，黄色，黄色，铺天盖地。 Open your eyes, the vast desert, deadly sandy sea.Hermia, quiet, this is a monotonous color, yellow, yellow, and overwhelming.

不敢相信，使劲摇摇头，睁大眼睛——依旧如此，黄色仿佛就是一切的主宰，铺满了天，铺满了地，铺满了整个世界。

一股股热浪从地表喷涌而来，惊醒了惊讶中的我，手中传来阵阵清凉的感觉——那是，也许是最后一滴水给我带来的清凉吧。

看着手中的一滴水，只觉得无助正把我包围，周围什么都没有——除了黄沙还是黄沙，明明美丽的黄昏，此刻却显得更加落寞，站着站着，突然有种想哭的冲动，却发现眼睛干干的，什么都没有。

狂风夹杂着黄沙向我卷来，不待多想，双手形成一个盒子状，把这也许是最后一滴水紧紧护住——这滴水是所有的希望，我一定要保护好!

随即，紧了紧双手，逆着狂风奔跑——那里，对，就在那里，有一团绿色闪现。

狂风让我的双眼很难睁开，只知道就在那个方向一定会有希望的，沙子打在脸上，火辣辣的疼，却也比不上内心的那份无助、焦急……

那团带来希望的绿色明明近在眼前，却又好似远在天边，我使劲使劲地跑啊跑，想缩短我们之间的距离，却总是相距那么远。

脚步越来越慢，步子越来越沉，双脚绵软无力，突的一下，不知被什么东西绊了一下，身子不受控制的向前倾倒，双手自然向前一撑，手中那一滴水边滴落在地，一瞬间便被吞噬了……

猛然坐起，胸口不停地起伏，看看四周——这不是我家么。

摸了摸额头，满脸都是汗，深深吐出一口气，原来刚才的一切都是虚惊一场，不过是梦而已。

只是，这真的只是梦么?

还是说，这也会在多少年后变为现实呢?

一切的一切都是未知数，但是，曾经那美丽的，征服了世界人民的蓝色星球现在如何呢?从太空中看，不过是一片白色罢了。

曾经美丽的罗布泊现在如何?寸草不生罢了。

那绿树环绕，有着第一大河流美称的亚马逊河流呢?不过在20年的时候大旱过一次罢了。

罢了，罢了，罢了。

地球所谓的统治者们啊，也许你们认为这并不重要，但要知道，当你们发现问题的严重性的时候，恐怕已无法挽救。

别等到黄沙真正铺满整个世界才后悔，所以，我们从现在做起，从身边的小事做起，微小到哪怕是一滴水、一棵树，我们也要尽自己最大的努力保护它们，只因为一滴水便是一整个世界!

一天，春光明媚，小圣和阿熊去公园玩。

小圣和阿熊来到一条林间小道，阿熊走着走着，发现小对没了，回头一看，小圣正在河中央的一块石头上面向远处眺望，小圣说：“阿熊，前面有一座凉亭，我们去那里玩玩怎么样？”阿熊说：“好呀！”小圣跳下来，就拉着阿熊向凉亭跑去。不一会儿，他们就来到了凉亭，小圣一到凉亭就猴性大发，一会儿爬柱子，一会儿翻跟斗，这里看看，那里瞧瞧，看见这里的景色山青水秀像一幅优美的山水画，心想“这里太美了，不写几个字做个留念可不行……”小圣想到这，立刻爬上柱子，用双脚和尾巴勾着柱子，从身上拔出一根猴毛,说一声：“变”就变成一支笔，龙飞凤舞地写下了“孙小圣到此一游”七个大字。阿熊看见了连忙说：“小圣，不能这样做！破坏环境是不文明的习惯啊！这都是人们辛辛苦苦建起来的，被你这样一写，还好看吗?……”小圣不好意思地挠挠头说：“我知道错了。”说完又拔出两根猴毛，变成一块布和一个水桶，然后小圣和阿熊一起把柱子擦得干干净净。这时，空中的小鸟叫得更欢了，太上的太阳公公笑得更灿烂了。

今天，我做了2件好事。第一件事帮奶奶从山上打了一桶水回来。因为我知道每天都要提着四个桶上山打水，我觉得奶奶非常累，就帮奶奶提了一桶水。奶奶夸我长大了，懂事了。

Today, I did two good things. The first thing is to help grandma get a

bucket of water from the mountain. Because I know that I have to carry four

buckets of water up the mountain every day. I think grandma is very tired, so I

helped her carry a bucket of water. Grandma praised me for growing up and being

sensible.

下午，我又给妈妈一个大惊喜了。妈妈走进我的房间一看，非常惊讶，说：“你真是一个懂事的孩子。”得到了奶奶和妈妈的表扬，我非常高兴。

In

the afternoon, I gave my mother another big surprise. When my mother came into

my room, she was very surprised and said, "you are really a sensible child." I

am very happy to be praised by my grandma and

mother.

Like tangible cultural heritages such as the Great Wall and the Forbidden

City, intangible cultural heritages like Peking Opera and

Confucius-commemorating rituals are equally crucial. We should make our utmost

efforts to preserve intangible heritages because, without their physical form of

existence, they are in greater risk of extinction.

According to UNESCO’s Convention for the Safeguarding of Intangible

Cultural Heritage (2003), all forms of social customs and habits, folklore,

performing arts, rituals, oral traditions, festivals, traditional crafts and

various knowledge and practices about nature and universe can be classified as

intangible cultural heritages. As a country consisting of a great diversity of

ethnic groups and with time-honored history and civilization, China abounds in

intangible cultural heritages. Cultural heritages connect modern people with the

historical past, allowing them to acquire a cultural and historical identity.

Without cultural heritages, we would be rendered absolutely rootless and we

would find it hard to cope with challenges at present and in the future.

However, the modernization process poses mounting threats to intangible

heritages. Many people have a blind faith in the latest electronic devices. It

is also pathetic to see elderly people in possession of such legacies pass away

without transmitting them to the younger generation. Faced with those

challenges, we should both preserve and renovate our ancestral heritages so that

we can help contribute to the cultural diversity of the world and return to our

spiritual homeland in this age of impersonal science and technology.
