I have a lovely little cat, whose name is "flower". It has a long peary hair, a pair of bright little eyes, a sharp little nose, and a brown mouth. Because the mouth of the flower is brown, so I think it is so cute!

The flowers are not only cute, but also very smart! Once, our family to do fish to eat, small flowers look at the fish, greedy too DC saliva, its small eyes squint for a while come up with a ghost idea. It is hard to cling to eat, the whole family thought it would like to go to the toilet, there are pots, looking for sand, everyone busy enjoying themselves, do the fish still stood on a small table. Little flower to see no one, and suddenly jumped to the table on the fish Diao to the table under, and then relish to eat a meal. And so we come back, the small flowers are proudly licking his mouth! Haha, we actually on the small cat when the really dumbfounding it!

Sometimes the flowers are also very naughty, take the last time it is right That day, I saw the flowers channeling to channeling, like a small madman, I have a look, oh, it was funny to play a small insects to play it. Flower to seize it, look at the left to see, may feel that it is not easy to eat it, put it down, the small insects took the opportunity to escape, spend hot chase. So once ran a chase, catch the release, put the chase, spend play can be energetic, and really a "naughty ghost" it!

Flowers are very human, and it is also very close to me. It was born twenty days, my mother took it home, and I slowly fed it with a small spoon to drink, every day so, I would like to spend the flowers, so flowers with my friendly, love And I "shake hands". Whenever I go home from school, the first thing is to see the flowers, then, the flowers will jump to me, stretched out a small claw and I shake hands. We are still a good friend who does not talk about it. If I have any trouble, you can talk about flowers, it head down, as if for my share of worry.

Flower is my "good partner" is my pistachio, I really like it!

When I was young, there was a funny thing that I wanted to laugh at all.

Once, grandma from the flower market bought a bowl of ornamental red pepper. I see, those small fruit crystal translucent, in the sun shining under the light. They are like a "red lantern" as in the green leaves against the background, very beautiful. I think: these fruits so red, certainly as delicious as cherries.

So, while the grandmother did not pay attention, I picked one, learn the way the grandmother wash to eat. Mouth a bite, suddenly pepper like a fried the same, spicy my mouth like a fire as uncomfortable. I quickly drink cold water, drink a lot, but still no use. At this time, my grandmother came, and saw my mouth, his face flushed, asked me how, but at this time I have been chili hot can not speak.

Although this thing over the past few years, but has been recorded in my heart, when to think of it wanted to laugh. Because it records my beautiful, ignorant childhood.

第一天的旅程开始了。

我们先去参观毛主席纪念堂。它坐落于天安门广场南边。只见那里人山人海，我们排了很长时间的队伍终于进去了。刚进大厅，我就看见一座很大的毛主席石像，用雪白的大理石雕刻的。我们从两边走过，看见了毛主席的遗体。

我们又来到了故宫。故宫第一道门是端门，红墙黄瓦，很漂亮。接着我们又过了午门和太和门。故宫很大，听导游说有九千多间房子。皇帝真浪费啊，有的地方他一年才去几次，也造得那么豪华。

游完故宫我们又到了景山。我看见一棵大树，那是明朝最后一位皇帝——崇祯皇帝上吊自杀的地方。我爬到了山顶，看到了美丽的北京城。北京的路都是环着造的，越到里面房子越矮。接着我们还玩了北海公园。

第一天的旅程结束了，今天是最累的一天，要好好休息了。

今天的行程目的地是故宫，我心里不免有些激动，这是中国地标性建筑，是封建王朝遗留下来的最完整的宫殿，又称紫禁城。几年前曾经去过一次，但那时候我还小，没留下什么记忆，今天终于又有机会饱览那里的风光了。

故宫，方圆七十多公顷，里面装备着所需要的各种设施。先从门说起，最大的门洞是用来供皇帝、皇后和古代考试前三名的考生通过的；第二大门洞是大臣门进出的门洞；边上的三个门洞是平民百姓、皇帝的仆人等进出的。可这些门洞从外看是三个，从里看却是五个，令我们十分费解。

过了午门，往左就是几口大缸，缸底下有个类似灶台的低台。大缸是救火时盛水的工具，而地下的灶台则是防止冬天缸里的水冻成冰，用来给大缸加热的。

往前看，有三座雄伟的建筑呈于眼前。中间那座最大的就是皇帝处理国家大事或举行宴会的地方，里边有皇帝的“宝座”。这座宫殿看起来只有一层地板砖但皇帝为了防止刺客入侵，横七竖八地在宫殿下面设计制造了十五层石砖。

宫殿两侧的建筑是皇帝的住处，分成东西两阁，一共有二十七间卧室、二十七张床，这样一来，刺客即便是飞过十米高的城墙、五十米长的护城河，也无法知道皇帝究竟住在东阁还是西阁。当导游介绍到这里的时候，我不禁为之一阵，皇帝的生活真可谓奢华，也可谓行踪不定，既满足了他自己奢华的生活又能有效的预防刺客，真可谓用心良苦。

故宫里有很多宝藏，八国联军侵略中国的时候抢走了很多，也破坏了很多，建筑物大部分都根据历史记载按照原样修旧如旧了，但是被抢走的很多宝物再也找不回来了，想到这里，觉得非常惋惜！

故宫实在是太大了，我们这次游览的时间有限，下次再来的时候我一定好好的把这里游览彻底。

Ive been happily drifting for a lot of years, Dad, and I didnt see you getting older.

I suppose I saw us and our relationship as aging together, rather like a fine wine. Numbers never seemed important. But the oddest thing happened last week. I was at a stop sign and I watched as you turned the corner in your car. It didnt immediately occur to me that it was you because the man driving looked so elderly and fragile behind the wheel of that huge car. It was rather like a slap in the face delivered from out of nowhere. Perhaps I saw your age for the first time that day. Or maybe I saw my own.

Somewhere along the line, the generation gap evaporated. Age separates us now and little else. We agree on most everything, perhaps because weve learned there isnt much worth disagreeing about. However, I would like to mention that fly fishing isnt all youve cracked it up to be, Dad. You can say what you want about wrist action and stance and blah, blah, blah...

亲爱的游客朋友们，大家好!我是你们今天的主讲导游。今天，我将和您们一起探索这座神奇又赫赫有名的故宫!

在进园之前，我先为您简单地介绍一下这座家喻户晓的皇家宫殿。北京故宫，旧称“紫禁城”，位于北京中轴线的中心，它以三大殿为中心，占地面积约72平方米，建筑面积约15万平方米，有大小宫殿七十多座，房屋九千余间。这座城的城墙四角，各有一座风姿绰约的角楼，民间有“九梁十八柱、七十二条脊”之说，正是形容其结构的复杂程度。

现在让我们走进园内，一睹它的风采。

要知道，故宫内的建筑分为外朝和内廷两部分，而我们现在就位于外朝的太和殿。它与中和殿、保和殿统称“三大殿”，是过去皇家举行大典礼的地方。太和殿建成后屡遭焚毁，多次重建，而今天的大殿是清康熙三十四年重建后的形制。看!这太和殿上承重檐庑殿顶，下坐三层汉白玉台阶，采用金龙和玺彩画。再看看这屋顶上的仙人走兽，各个精巧别致，每一个都与众不同。这座殿该算得上是三大殿中的“老大了”!

现在，随着我们的队伍向前走，进入内廷。

看看这些古柏老槐，这罗列奇石玉座、金鳞铜像、盆花桩景，没错，这就是故宫中最大的皇家园林——御花园。

御花园园内主体建筑钦安殿为重檐盝顶式，坐落于紫禁城的南北中轴线上，以其为中心，向前方及两侧铺展亭台楼阁。园内青翠的松、柏、竹点缀着山石，形成四季常青的园林景观。园墙内东西宽135米，南北深89米，占地面积为12015平方米。东西两路建筑基本对称，东路有堆秀山、御景亭、璃藻亭、浮碧亭等，西路有建筑廷辉阁、位育斋、澄瑞亭等。坐在亭内，向下眺望登高叠石，盘曲的磴道，蟠龙喷水，真是别有一番风味。

紫禁城是著名的世界文化遗产，其中不仅有珍贵藏品、大型园林、亭台楼阁，更有悠久的文化历史。到此为止，本次参观暂告一段落，期待您的再次光临。

Whenever a painful situation arises in your life, try to embrace it instead of running away or trying to mask the hurt. When the sadness strikes, take a deep breath and lean into it. When we run away from sadness that’s unfolding in our lives, it gets stronger and more real. We take an emotion that’s fleeting and make it a solid event, instead of something that passes through us.

当生活中出现痛苦的事情时，别再逃跑或隐藏痛苦，试着拥抱它吧;当悲伤来袭时，试着深呼吸，然后直面它。如果我们一味逃避生活中的悲伤，悲伤只会变得更强烈更真实——悲伤原本只是稍纵即逝的情绪，我们却固执地耿耿于怀。

今天的路线是先到国家大剧院，再到天安门广场，最后游故宫，逛王府井。

吃过早饭，我们集合一起出发去参观国家大剧院。大剧院外观很漂亮，大大的球四周全是水，导游告诉我们，国家大剧院就像一个鸟蛋，真的很像，也很漂亮，几阵微风吹来，水面荡漾着小小的波浪，很美很美。

Last month I went to Beijing to visit one of my friends, because we haven’t seen each other for about two years and I got a holiday meanwhile.

All the information about the city came from the books and TV, now I could see and get know of it by myself, how excited I am!

There were so many tourist areas in my plan list, like Tian’anmen Square, Forbidden City, the Great Wall, the Perking University and so on.

I come to you: "lele is one of the neighbors dog, because always come to my house, I will regard it as their own the dog. Hes always, very active, very happy every day, so I told him to do le le!"

Lele is a fox small dogs, the aspect of color are all white, no other color is a little. Although dogs are color blind, but I dont think he is color-blind. Round discerning eyes, he is a little cockroach in one meter, which it can see clearly. For example: "that Im eating bread, suddenly saw a cockroach ran out from under the cabinet, on the rest of the lele a saw a cockroach, immediately blunt come over, put it in the foot pads, he at the top of the cockroaches in lele also, with its sharp claws grasp cockroach to bits."

“汪，汪，汪”听到这声音你就知道我是喜欢什么动物。大家会问，这只狗为什么叫做乐乐?我来向大家说明：“乐乐是邻居家的一只狗，因为总是来我家，我就把它当成自家的狗。他总活蹦乱跳，很活跃，天天的很快乐，所以我叫他做乐乐!”

乐乐是一只狐狸小型犬，外表的颜色全是白色的，没一丝是别的颜色。虽然狗是色盲，但是我觉得他一点也不是色盲。他长着圆溜溜雪亮的眼睛，就是一只小蟑螂在它一米之外，它也能看得一清二楚。举个例子：“那次我在吃面包的时候，突然看见一只蟑螂从柜子下跑出来，趴在那休息的乐乐一见有只蟑螂，马上冲过来，把它脚上的肉垫中中他在蟑螂的上面，乐乐还用尖利的爪子，把蟑螂抓个粉身碎骨。”

乐乐喜欢别人摸它的头。当我摸它头的时候，两只耳朵垂下去，闭着眼睛，好像在享受着。只要它一生气，不停的叫的时候，你就摸它头，好像变魔术一样，立刻乐乐心情就平静下来了，就不生气了。

乐乐没饭吃的时候，他会一直跟着你，用可怜巴巴的眼神望着你，你没有给他吃它就死缠不放。直到你给他吃为止，他才不跟着你。你就像中了它的睡眠术一样，倒狗粮给他吃。

乐乐睡觉的样子，也是千奇百怪。刚睡的时候是两脚并拢，头趴在上面。谁着的时候是整个身体平躺着的。睡熟了之后是四脚朝天。进入梦乡时是身体斜着的。

The practice of cool breeze blowing, the slightest winter rain into a misty veil, looking up, the rain gently toward my cheek. Although the window is not a new green, but the faint dark yellow with the wind and rain figure tilted.

Suspected winter also magic, blue sky is also floating on a layer of vast gray.

At this time, the fine rain gently jump between heaven and earth, "tick - tick" to heaven and earth.

The rain little by little to converge their own, only to see the distant Jisi naughty rain is still nostalgia, a long time do not want to reach the ground.

我家的小狗长得十分可爱，圆圆的脑袋上嵌着一双琥珀色的大眼睛。它有一条粉嘟嘟的舌头，到了夏天总是伸出一大截。它的四肢强壮有力，爪尖是白色的。真逗人喜爱。

小狗吃东西的时候它总是先用鼻子闻一闻，再用舌头慢慢舔。每当我把蛋糕、油饼放在手上，小狗不但很快地把它们吃掉，而且吃得津津有味的。

有一天，一只小黑狗啃着骨头，小狗马上窜上去抢。小黑狗一闪，让小狗扑了个空。接着，小狗猛地站起来，前爪前伸，身子后倾，尾巴一挺，“呼”地向小黑狗扑过去。小黑狗一声怪叫和小狗厮打。它们“汪汪”乱叫，蹿上蹿下。小狗看准时机，狠狠地把小黑狗的腿咬了一口，小黑狗惨叫了一声，一瘸一拐地夹着尾巴放下骨头溜走了。小狗趴在地上舔着身子，又津津有味地吃着“战利品”。

这样可爱、勇猛的小狗叫我怎么会不喜欢它呢?

它要是高兴，能比谁都殷勤，能比谁都温柔。它会冲你汪汪叫几声，或是蹭着你的腿叫你把它抱进怀里，轻轻抚摸它，它偎在你的怀里，静静地躺着，享受着你的爱抚，仿佛是个温顺的孩子。它还很善解人意，在你写作业的时候，它也不吵不闹，只是静静地趴在你身边，摇头晃脑地看着你，或者自己玩，就是不会打扰你;但它若是不开心，情绪不高，你叫它，它也不会理你，更愿意躲在一个角落里，蜷成一团，呼呼大睡;你若这时训它，它的小脾气一上来，就会跟你赌气，然后“离家出走”，出去一天也不见个影儿，让你挂念它。

In cold winter，cold wind blows so hard that everyone can hardly open his eyes

Wind，we welcome you，need you，but sometimes hate you. Will you please obey us and do good things for us.

北京故宫博物院是中国最大的古代文化艺术博物馆,是国家一级博物馆,也是世界上接待游客最繁忙的博物馆。

它位于北京城中心,城墙四面各有城门一座:南称午门,北称神武门,左右为东华门、西华门。

浏览的时候从午门进入参观。我们有电视中看到的、听到的:“拉到午门斩首”中的午门,就是这个门。不过导游说,这地方一般不斩杀人,只在午门处打人,有的经不住打就死了,但成了斩首了。哦!原来如此呀!

从午门进入故宫博物院,我们浏览了许多地方,有太和殿、中和殿、养心殿、乾清宫、交泰殿、保和殿、坤宁宫……

其中给我印象最深的是:

太和殿,俗称“金銮殿”。导游介绍说,“金瓦金銮殿,皇上不坐殿,一朝出了午门口,一个鼻子两只手。金瓦金銮殿,皇上看不见”。这个儿歌中的“金銮殿”就是这个地方。它是现存中国古代建筑中最高大的建筑,皇帝登基、大婚、册立皇后及公布进士黄榜等大的庆典活动都在这里举行。

保和殿:乾隆后期,这里便成为举行科举考试的场所。

坤宁宫:是皇后的寑宫。对了,电视剧中皇后娘娘口口声声地说:“坤宁宫,就是她的寑宫,就是这个地方呀!

辉煌雄伟的故宫博物院让我大开眼界,让我了解了中国的历史,中国的发展。但是遗憾的是有许多的宫殿建筑的门都是关闭的,或者里面是空荡荡的。带着遗憾我们从北边的神武门出来了。

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.

尊敬的各位旅客旅客们：

今天，我们将参观既美丽又壮观的北京故宫，我是你们的导游——于笑苒。下面，我先为大家简单介绍一下：故宫位于北京市城区中心，是明、清两代的皇宫，是当今世界上现存规模最大、建筑最雄伟、保存最完整的古代皇家宫殿。故宫又叫紫禁城。紫禁城是中国五个多世纪以来的最高权力中心，它以园林景观和容纳了家具及工艺品的9000个房间的庞大建筑群，成为明清时代中国文明无价的历史见证。1987年，北京故宫被联合国教科文组织列入《世界遗产名录》。

故宫座北朝南，开有四条门。各位旅客，这里就是故宫的正门，叫午门，意思是正午的太阳光芒四射。各位请看!在10米高的城墙上耸立着五座崇楼，楼顶飞檐翅起，从上面看就象五只展翅欲飞的凤凰，故午门又称五凤楼。它建成于公元1420年，位于端门之北，雄伟壮观。

各位旅客，现在我们已经进入故宫。这里是故宫第一进院落，首先出现在我们面前的是五座汉白玉石桥，它们象征五德，即仁、义、礼、智、信，是皇帝集美好的品质为一身的意思。金水桥下是内金水河，跨过金水桥就来到了太和门广场，这里就是明代皇帝御门听政时百官待驾的地方。

好，下面请各位来参观末代皇帝溥仪举行登基大典礼的太和殿。现在我们来到了故宫中最重要的院落--太和殿及其广场，这里就是皇家举行盛大典礼的地方。好!这里可以拍下远处太和殿的全景，各位可以在此留个影，过一会儿，我再给大家介绍一下太和殿。

各位旅客，我们眼前的太和殿是整座紫禁城内级别最高的建筑，只有皇帝举行盛大典礼时才使用，象征皇权的至高无上，太和殿俗称金銮殿，是我国现存木结构大殿的杰出典范之作。太和殿始建于公元1420年，当时叫奉天殿。后来，该叫皇极殿。清顺治皇帝登基后，重修三大殿，并将皇极殿改为太和殿。

太和殿高35米，东西长64米，南北宽33米，面积为2377平方米。它面阔十一间，进深5间，规模为紫禁城内大殿之最。装饰用的彩绘为最高等级的金龙和玺。殿顶形式为最高等级的重檐庑殿顶，就连大殿正脊上的吻兽也是我国目前最大的，总之处处显示“第一”，那是皇帝认为“老子天下第一”思想的体现。

看完了太和殿，我们再来看中和殿。大家请看!中和殿是皇帝在大典前等待吉时、稍事休息的地方。下面，请大家跟我来一起参观当时的国宴厅--保和殿。

各位旅客，这座大殿是故宫前朝三大殿中的最后一座大殿，叫保和殿。这座大殿被称为清代的国宴厅及科举考场，自乾隆皇帝以后，这里便成为每四年一次的皇家科举考场。

今天，我的演讲到此结束，谢谢大家对我的信任与支持。
