我最喜欢的动物是大象，一提到大象就会想到去年‘‘六一’’儿童节，我和妈妈和表姐曾经带我去动物园，在那里，大象一级保护动物，数量三四只，，而我就是从那时候开始爱上大象的!

在动物园看得到大象，我第一次亲眼看到大象时，觉得它的身体像一面大墙，象腿象四根大柱子，象鼻像一根大吸管，把食物通通送到嘴里;虽然庞大的身躯让人害怕，不过它的一举一动让我觉得很可爱!

大象，它的力量很大，在泰国，他们会利用大象来搬运东西，或者当作交通工具，发现大象真的很“勇健”，坐在它的背上行走，会感觉到摇晃颠簸，相当有趣呢!

因为大象的“强壮威武”，我喜欢这个“庞然大物”，可惜家中不能养大象，不然我很希望能养一只大象，那一定非常有趣!

我最喜欢的动物是大象，我喜欢小象，因为我可以和小象一起玩耍，在家里吃饭，所以我也喜欢小象，我还会给小象做小房子，小房子是用纸箱做的，我还会叫表妹和小象一起玩。

说到我去过的地方,有珠海、北京、香港……可我印象最深的是北京。因为那里有美丽的故宫。

故宫位于北京市中心，曾叫紫禁城。故宫是过去皇帝生活和办公的地方，到现在已经有六百多年的历史了。

故宫很大，里面有很多价值连城的物品。钟表馆是我最感兴趣的地方，里面收藏了各种各样的钟表，有1500件呢，有的会放八音盒的音乐；有的有四面，可以同时显示四个地方的时间；有的带着一驾马车,马车一边跑钟表一边走……钟表馆里最有名的就是“写字人钟”了。这个表很有意思，钟表一走，一个外国小人拿着毛笔就开始写中国字，写的是“八方向化，九土来王”。

我在皇极殿的门口看见了九龙壁，壁上九条龙的形状、颜色、动作各不相同，每条龙就像活的一样。

故宫很大，我们在里面整整参观了一天。不过，故宫真的很美啊！

Winter comes! Little snowflake fluttering to return to earth.

Oh, you see the snow on top of this tree, like the one after the other gulls stop on the branches; Several naughty children, the finish is not cotton candy high hung on the branches? Is grandma put small steamed stuffed bun on the limb?

Like winter wind sister told us: an inch of time an inch of gold, an inch of gold will not buy inch of time, to cherish the time now, is to study well.

Winter morning, I cant help strolling on a narrow path in a snowy, when I walked slowly, step by step, only behind me deeply footprint seems alive one note. Snowflakes dancing in the wind, I stood in the snow, snow kissed my face, on my neck, fresh, intoxicating. I seem to become a snowball, rolling down from the top of the mountain, the mountain left a trail and a trace of snow. Snow is still flying, like a white fairy tale world. The patches of snow as if to say: "I dont make the mountain lonely; I let trees have cool and refreshing oasis, I love this world, I want to let the world of all things under my quilt meimei hibernation". At this moment, my heart seems to be washed in general, is so transparent, so white...

Once again I carefully took a snowflake, she really is a masterpiece of nature! She is so transparent, so white. But also do magic voice, voice came, the snow will gradually disappear, will once again usher in all things recovery, vibrant spring...

Ah! I love winter. All things on plating a layer of crystal, glittering, was full of praise. In winter, she is so white, is transparent like that!!

冬天来啦!小雪花飘飘洒洒，重返人间。

呵，你看这树条上的雪迹，好像一只又一只的海鸥停歇在枝条上;还是有几个顽皮的小孩子，把还没有吃完的棉花糖高高的挂在了枝丫上?莫非是老奶奶把小包子放在了树丫上?

我轻轻地拿起一片雪花，你瞧：这六瓣花，晶莹透亮。好像是冬爷爷亲自做的书签，送给我们，让我们好好读书。又好像冬风姐姐告诉我们：一寸光阴一寸金，寸金难买寸光阴，要珍惜现在的时光，好好学习。

冬天的早上，我情不自禁的在白雪皑皑的小路上散步，当我一步一步慢慢的走着，只见我身后的深深脚印似一个个活蹦乱跳的音符。雪花在风中翩翩起舞，我站在雪地上，雪花亲吻着我的脸，落在我的脖子里，凉丝丝的，令人陶醉。我仿佛变成了一个大雪球，从山顶上滚动下来，在山间留下一道又一道的雪迹。雪花还在漫天飞舞，好似一个白色的童话世界。这片片雪花仿佛在说：“是我不让山间寂寞;是我让大树有了清凉的甘泉，我爱这个世界，我要让世界的万物在我的棉被下美美的冬眠”。此时此刻，我的心好像被水洗过一般，是那样的透明，那样的洁白……

我再一次小心翼翼地捧起一朵雪花，她真是大自然的杰作啊!她是那样的透明，那样洁白。不过春姑娘也是会做魔法的，春姑娘的来到，那雪迹会渐渐消淡，会再次迎来万物复苏、生机勃勃的春天……

啊!我爱冬天。万物都镀上了一层水晶，闪闪发光，令人赞不绝口。冬天，她是那样的洁白，是那样的透明!

Look, the leaves on the trees are slowly turning yellow.All the leaves following the autumn wind, lightly fall to the ground. Now the ground covers m with golden leaves.Every clear day，the sun shines on the golden yelow leavess,they will make a rusting noise telling us autumn is here!

Autumn is all the small animals is busiest season.

Autumn is also everyone is busiest time.

Autumn is short. To the sutudents,this is the best time for learning.

I love autumn!

北京故宫，原名“紫禁城”，始建与明永乐年间，历时14年建成。它规模非常宏大，占地7.2平方千米，建筑面积为1.5平方千米，有房屋9000多间，黄色琉璃瓦屋顶，红色的围墙和蓝色护城河把它与外界隔开。从建成到封建帝制结束，近500年间共有明、清24位皇帝在此登基。它是一座壁垒森严、巍峨壮观的宫殿，也是世界上规模最大，最完整的古代宫殿，是最大的历史博物馆。

故宫的建筑是严格遵守对称的规则，沿南北走向的中轴线排列。而这条中轴线的建筑，更是故宫的中心，这些建筑都坐北朝南，处处体现着皇帝的尊严。故宫可分为前朝和内廷两部分，二者界线在乾清宫，因南为前朝，北为内廷。前朝与内廷的建筑无论从风格和用途上完全不同。故宫的前朝包括最南端的午门，后面的太和门以及所谓的三大殿：太和殿，中和殿，保和殿。前朝高大宽敞，富丽堂皇，是皇帝会见群臣，处理政事，举行重大庆典的地方；保和殿的北面就是故宫的内廷，这里是真正的皇家禁苑。从前到后包括乾清宫，交泰殿，坤宁宫，御花园。内廷房间相对狭小紧凑，是皇帝皇后及嫔妃生活起居的地方，并且后宫等级分明，都体现在建筑规模，形式，间数，屋顶装饰及所在位置上。单说位置吧，皇后住在坤宁宫，在知道你刚刚后宫最中。东西六宫分别有两个正殿，四个偏殿，若干侧殿。分别由两位贵妃统领妃嫔等人居住。而贵人、常在，答应则只能住在东西六宫的侧房。

乾清宫是进入乾清门的第一个内廷大宫殿，正中设有宝座，分东西暖阁，是明、清两个朝代皇帝的寝宫和活动场所。

坤宁宫建于明永乐年间。清顺治二年则按照满族的风格习惯重新改建，宫内格局完全依照沈阳清朝故宫清宁宫的样式布置。内有东暖间，这是皇帝大婚的洞房。坤宁宫在明代就是皇后的寝宫，到清代虽有所改变，但仍是“正宫”。

紫禁城历经500多年，是封建社会的见证，其传统的建筑艺术和丰富的珍贵历史文物，更是劳动人民智慧的结晶。

我家有一只小狗，名叫点点，今年三岁，毛色是浅黄色的，非常讨人喜欢，点点的鼻子黑黑的，长得及小，它天生有一种傲慢的性格。

点点是一只金毛。还记的2007年冬天，正下着鹅毛大雪，它的母亲把它生下来，一个月以后我去姥姥家把它抱了回来，但它分外的小，它就是两斤左右，点点在我家生活了一年左右，因为我家没有黄土，点点的大小便也成了一个问题，无奈之下妈妈不得不把它寄存在姥姥家，点点刚走的的那几天，我无时无刻不在想它，干什么事都无精打彩，时间久了，我也渐渐淡忘了。

至从有一天，妈妈说：好久没去姥姥家了，今天去看看吧，这使我猛的想起了被我遗忘的好朋友点点，吃过午饭，我们去了姥姥家，一见面，我还差点没有认出，当初像“豆芽形”的小狗，现在却长得又粗又高，看起来威风凛凛的，鼻子上也有一点淡淡的红色，显得格外精神。

在回家的路上，我想了许久，为什么当初的小狗到了姥姥家就长大了？也吃胖了呢？我想是因为姥姥家的饭很合它的胃口吧。呵呵，我家的小点点可爱吧。

Winters in taipei are very cold during the evening and very windy during the daytime.

I usually look forward to the lunar new years day and the winter vacation when i can go to the village where the climate is warmer during these holidays.

Also, i look forward to seeing my grandmother, great-grandmother, and my friends in the village; i like my grandmothers food very much. Winter is the time everyone is in a festive mood.

In the city, i usually do a lot of reading at home in the winter because of the cold weather outside.

We all know that the 5th day of the fifth month of the Chinese lunar calendar is the Dragon Boat Festival! In my home, grandma will always be busy making zongzi.

In a few days, grandma will go to the supermarket to buy glutinous rice and rice dumplings, then put the dumplings in the pot to boil, and then brush them out with the brush, and wait until the Dragon Boat Festival day to bring the dumplings.

On the day of Dragon Boat Festival, my mother and I were still asleep. Grandma was calling zongzi. Grandma had prepared several kinds of stuffing, including jujube, peas and pork. I like jujube most, but my mother likes nothing to eat. "Do it!" Grandma said. My mother and I smiled, because my mother is the first time I have zongzi, certainly not the package. But I still want to learn from my grandmother and try it before I know it.

My mother and I pick up their leaves, according to grandma taught step by step. Because it was the first time to make zongzi, and the mother smiled and said, "how do we do it? It looks like a simple one. Its stupid to do it." I listened, looked at the shapeless dumpling in my mothers hands, and laughed loudly, just like mine. No corner of the corner, Mrs. Grandma encouraged us: "the first is not good, the second will surely improve." In this way, mother is better than a bag, but I still havent learned it.

I will not cook zongzi to cook zongzi, I will put the dumplings wrapped by grandma in the pot, add water, and then burn it up. After a while, a zongzi fragrance floated out, Im waiting for my favorite dumplings dates. I had an unforgettable Dragon Boat Festival. I wish I could be happy every year.

北京天安门是我非常向往去的一个地方，第二天一大早，我们便乘坐地铁来到这里，出了地铁口首先映入眼里的便是北京天安门城楼，它的上面正中央悬挂着我国的国徽，下面是毛主席的画像，两边挂着中华人民共和国万岁，世界人民大团结万岁的条幅。虽然曾在电视和书中看到过很多次，可今天身临其境的站在这里，它的辉宏气势还是让我震憾了。我不知用什么语言来形容我此时的心情。

天安门是紫禁城的正门，一对威武的汉白玉石狮把守着皇宫大门，几百年前这里是明清两代皇帝办公和生活的地方。走过金水桥，穿过太和门，看着厚厚的城门，游览着皇帝们曾经生活居住的地方，看着这么金碧辉煌的宫殿，让我惊叹我国古代人民的智慧，是谁建造了这么美的皇宫，它吸引了全世界人民的眼球，我看到许多外国人一边看一边拍照，他们也被这壮观宫殿所吸引。

这时我感觉做为一个中国人的自豪感由然而生。中华民族是了不起的民族。我为是一名中国人而骄傲。

今年暑假，我和爸爸心潮澎湃地来到北京旅游。第一天，我们来到了世界历史建筑学的奇迹——故宫。

这里，曾经是皇家禁地，现在，是向公众开放的博物馆。秩序井然的重重宫殿，红墙黄瓦的浓重色彩，书写着中华文明的辉煌!

进入午门，走过金水桥，就来到了太和门前。再走过太和门，就能看到太和殿了。真不愧是皇家宫殿大殿内金碧辉煌，金光闪闪。太和殿是皇上行政的地方。也是所有宫殿中最精致的大殿。在这里，不禁让我浮想联翩，联想到了当时皇上觐见王公大臣时的情景。

走出太和殿、中和殿、保和殿，乾清门出现在我眼前。来到乾清宫，这里是皇上休息、就寝的地方。宫内“正大光明”四个大字高挂宫中。黄色的琉璃瓦，金色的的地砖，让殿内显得霸气十足。大殿的正中央;有一个金色的宝座，除了皇上谁也不能坐在上面。宝座的两头还有暖阁。宫外的亭台楼阁，显得气势雄伟。可见，古代的劳动人民是多么的聪明啊!

再往前走，就来到了故宫最后边的御花园。御花园内古木繁花、嶙峋山石……更重要的是还有一座山：堆秀山。堆秀山石头秀美，旁边还有一个小门，门里还有一个楼梯，是通往山顶的。在山顶上，放眼望去你可以看到御花园的全景。不禁让人感觉到皇帝和妃子的生活真是太意了!

我们悠悠忽忽地转了一个下午，很可惜，还是没有把故宫转完，因为故宫太大了!72万多平方米，9000。5的宫殿，一下午的时间，怎么可能转得完?

故宫一游是我流连忘返，故宫的建筑实在是堪称无以伦比的杰作!让我们叹为观止，这其中凝聚了古人们多少智慧与心血，我们应该为他们感到自豪!当然我也愿意和你一起让中国五千年的历史万古流传。

北京!多么古色古香的古都!

Situated in the western outskirts of Haidian District, the Summer Palace is 15 kilometers (9.3 miles) from central Beijing. Having the largest royal park and being well preserved, it was designated, in 1960 by the State Council, as a Key Cultural Relics Protection Site of China. Containing examples of the ancient arts, it also has graceful landscapes and magnificent constructions. The Summer Palace is the archetypal Chinese garden, and is ranked amongst the most noted and classical gardens of the world. In 1998, it was listed as one of the World Heritage Sites by UNESCO.

Constructed in the Jin Dynasty (1115-1234), during the succeeding reign of feudal emperors; it was extended continuously. By the time of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), it had become a luxurious royal garden providing royal families with rest and entertainment. Originally called Qingyi Garden (Garden of Clear Ripples), it was know as one of the famous three hills and five gardens (Longevity Hill, Jade Spring Mountain, and Fragrant Hill; Garden of Clear Ripples, Garden of Everlasting Spring, Garden of Perfection and Brightness, Garden of Tranquility and Brightness, and Garden of Tranquility and Pleasure). Like most of the gardens of Beijing, it could not elude the rampages of the Anglo-French allied force and was destroyed by fire. In 1888, Empress Dowager Cixi embezzled navy funds to reconstruct it for her own benefit, changing its name to Summer Palace (Yiheyuan). She spent most of her later years there, dealing with state affairs and entertaining. In 1900, it suffered again, being ransacked by the Eight-Power Allied Force. After the success of the 1911 Revolution, it was opened to the public.

Composed mainly of Longevity Hill and Kunming Lake, The Summer Palace occupies an area of 294 hectares (726.5 acres), three quarters of which is water. Guided by nature, artists designed the gardens exquisitely so that visitors would see marvelous views and be amazed by perfect examples of refined craftwork using the finest materials.

Centered on the Tower of Buddhist Incense (Foxiangge) the Summer Palace consists of over 3,000 structures including pavilions, towers, bridges, and corridors. The Summer Palace can be divided into four parts: the court area, front-hill area, front-lake area, and rear-hill and back-lake area.

Front-Hill Area: this area is the most magnificent area in the Summer Palace with the most constructions. Its layout is quite distinctive because of the central axis from the yard of Kunming Lake to the hilltop, on which important buildings are positioned including Gate of Dispelling Clouds, Hall of Dispelling Clouds, Hall of Moral Glory, Tower of Buddhist Incense, the Hall of the Sea of Wisdom, etc.

Rear-Hill and Back-Lake Area: although the constructions are fewer here, it has a unique landscape, with dense green trees, and winding paths. Visitors can feel a rare tranquility, and elegance. This area includes scenic spots such as Kunming Lake and Back Lake , which presents a tranquil beauty, Garden of Harmonious Interest , built by imitating the layout of Southern China’s classical gardens, and Suzhou Market Street, endowed with a strong flavor of the water town Suzhou.

Court Area: this is where Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu met officials, conducted state affairs and rested. Entering the East Palace Gate, visitors may see the main palace buildings: the Hall of Benevolence and Longevity served as the office of the Emperor, the Hall of Jade Ripples where Guangxu lived, the Hall of Joyful Longevity, Cixis residence, the Garden of Virtue and Harmony where Cixi was entertained, Yiyun House , where once lived the Empress Longyu, and Long Gallery, which measures the longest in Chinese gardens.

Front Lake Area: covering a larger part of the Summer Palace, opens up the vista of the lake. A breeze fluttering, waves gleam and willows kiss the ripples of the vast water. In this comfortable area there are the Eastern Bank and Western Bank, Seventeen-Arch Bridge, Nanhu Island, the largest island in Summer Palace, Bronze Ox, an imposing statue beside the lake, and Marble Boat, built in western style with elaborate decorations . On the western bank float six distinct bridges amongst which the Jade-Belt Bridge is the pretty!

春节期间，我们游览了保存最完整的古代宫殿和古建筑群故宫，规模庞大、保存完好的皇家陵园明十三陵，被八国联军掠夺的圆明园，仿西湖建筑的皇家园林博物馆颐和园，不到长城非好汉的八达岭长城等名胜古迹，还参观了现代建筑鸟巢、水立方、人民大会堂、天安门广场、人民英雄纪念碑……

北京游印象最深刻的就是故宫。一踏入故宫，就看见壮丽雄伟的午门，金黄色的砖瓦在红墙的衬托下显得十分尊贵。沿着故宫的中轴线，我经过太和门，看到了一对威武凶悍的铜狮，一双炯炯有神的双眼直盯着我，两只锋利的耳朵听着人们赞叹不已的话，四只有力的脚支撑起庞大的身体，让我对古代匠人的手艺佩服得五体投地。太和殿门前两侧，有四口用鎏金铜做成的大缸，上面写着“大清乾隆年造”，两边各有一个狮子环。听导游说这些缸的口很宽，容量大，有防火作用。以前的时候缸里储藏着许多水，宫中一旦失火，就可以用水灭火，冬天太冷结冰的话，还要在下面烧炭加热。

故宫的钟表馆里收藏着许多形态各异的钟表，好多都是英国、法国制造的。珍宝馆里有许多奇珍异宝，我最喜欢的是蓝色的镶满珍珠、宝石、黄金的皇后戴的凤冠。还有御花园、角楼、九龙壁……故宫实在太大了，要我们细细观察，才能体会它的博大精深。

故宫不但凝聚了古代人民的智慧和才干，而且向我们展示了古代皇朝的历史。

Although the summer is the hottest season of the year round, but the scenery is very beautiful in summer. Summer is like a beautiful picture, reflects the sun, the sky, the woods, all kinds of animals, busy people...

When the sun awoke from his sleep, just up to the sky, the ground that it exhibits a busy scene: dog "wang wang" to call on the ground, called while tongue, say "too hot"; People around are out, some walking, some are going to have to buy food, some in appreciate the scenery, the roadside snack car in selling breakfast...

Big tree by the road, between the leaves and branches, cicadas are hot dead, kept yelling: "see, see, hot dead! Hot dead! Why the weather is so hot?"

In the evening, when the sun go back to sleep, the weather becomes cool. Taking a walk in the park, many people, the park a place and dance! Trees dont call the cicada, go back to its "house" to sleep, and in the still of the night cricket is the leading role, and it "to play the piano while singing, the voice is very nice.

Anyway, in the summer are the most beautiful scenery in my mind forever!

夏天虽然是一年四季最热的季节，但夏天的景色也很美丽。夏天就像一幅美丽的图画，映照着太阳、天空、树林、各种各样的动物、忙忙碌碌的人们……

当太阳从睡梦中醒来，刚刚升上天空，地面上便显出一片忙碌的景象：狗在地上“汪汪”地叫，边叫边吐舌头，说“太热了”;附近的人们都出来了，有的在散步，有的准备去买菜，有的在欣赏景色，路边的小吃车也在叫卖早点……抬头看天空，蔚蓝的，一眼望不到边。在天空中，偶尔飘着几朵白云，白云的形状千变万化，像洁白的棉花，像奔跑的狮子，像圆圆的皮球……

当太阳升到天空中间时，火辣辣地照着大地，非常热，人们吃过中饭，都不愿意去外面，在外面的只有极少数人，而且绝大多数是没办法才出来的。在路旁的大树上，在树叶和树枝之间，知了也热死了，不停在叫喊：“知了，知了，热死了!热死了!为什么天气会这么热?”

傍晚，当太阳下山回去睡觉时，天气变得凉爽了。在公园里，许多人在散步，公园的一处地方还有人跳舞呢!树上的知了不叫了，回去它的“房子”睡觉去了，在夜深人静时，蟋蟀才是主角，它一边“弹琴”一边唱着歌，声音十分好听。

无论怎么说，夏天的景色在我的印象中永远是最美的!

Last Qingming Festival，I return home to worship my grandfather.Qingming Festival is a folk Festival.In the past，the Qingming Festival was called “Arbor Day”。 But Today， Chinese visit their family graves to tend to any underbrush that has grown. Weeds are pulled， and dirt swept away， and the family will set out offerings of food and spirit money. Unlike the sacrifices at a family"s home altar， the offerings at the tomb usually consist of dry， bland food. One theory is that since any number of ghosts rome around a grave area， the less appealing food will be consumed by the ancestors， and not be plundered by strangers.

With the passing of time， this celebration of life became a day to the honor past ancestors. Following folk religion， the Chinese believed that the spirits of deceased ancestors looked after the family. Sacrifices of food and spirit money could keep them happy， and the family would prosper through good harvests and more children.
