Water Pollution

With the development of industry, water pollution isbecoming more serious now. The polluted water not only kills fish, it is also harmful to our health. Many people get sick because they drink the polluted water. In some rivers the water is so dirty that they can even kill plants.

We should fight against the pollution. We should stop using harmful things. I wish it is not a dream that in the near future we can have clean rivers again.

城五月初五是端午节，每年这个时候，很多地方的老百姓都会用包粽子来纪念伟大的爱国主义诗人屈原，我会在爸爸妈妈的带领下去姥姥家，姥姥、姥爷早早的准备好了江米和大枣、粽叶来包粽子，并在煮粽子的时候煮上几个鸡蛋，用来给我和弟弟妹妹吃。在吃粽子的时候，我就问姥姥，为什么人们要在端午节这天吃粽子，门上要插艾草，这时候姥姥就会把弟弟妹妹叫到一起，讲有关屈原投江的故事。

屈原是我国春秋战国楚怀王统治时的贵族，并担任大臣，他力主联齐抗秦，遭到其它被收买贵族和楚怀王之后的打击报复，被免去职务，并被流放，在流浪期间，写下了忧国忧民的《离骚》等著名不朽诗篇，在秦国攻破楚国国都，他看自己的祖国被侵略，心如刀割。在五月五日这一天，抱石投汩罗江自尽，以自己的生命诠释了一曲壮丽的爱国主义乐章。

屈原死后，老百姓哀痛异常，纷纷去汩罗江边凭吊屈原，并拿出准备好的饭团和鸡蛋丢进江里想让鱼虾吃饱，不用去伤害屈原的身体，慢慢就演变成吃粽子、鸡蛋等习俗，用来纪念爱国主义诗人屈原。

姥姥给我们讲完故事后，问我和弟弟有什么想的说的吗?我发表了自己心中感想，说：屈原是我们应该记住并不能遗忘的爱国主义诗人。

这时候，爸爸把煮好的粽子放在桌子上，叫我们来吃，我吃着又香又甜的粽子，想着姥姥讲的动人的故事，心情久久不能平静。对我来说：古人的爱国主义精神会让我深爱教育并激励我将来好好规划人生轨迹，树立正确的人生理想，不能辜负姥姥讲故事的深刻涵义。

光阴似箭，转眼今天又是一年一度的端午节——五月初五，每年端午节的前三天，人们就忙着包粽子，挂艾草，赛龙舟等，到处都是热闹的场景。我妈妈会包好多香甜的粽子，走亲访友送祝福。可今年突如其来的疫情让我们沉浸在恐慌中，你能体会到这种绝望吗?

今天上午，老师在网课上给我们线上开了班会，主题是“我们的节日。端午节”，从中我了解到端午节又称端阳节，是我国四大传统节日之一，吃粽子与赛龙舟，是端午节的两大礼俗，自古传承，至今不辍。2009年9月，端午节被列入《人类生物质文化遗产代表作名录》成为中国首个入选世界非遗的节日。

班会上，老师和我们交流端午节的由来，我和同学们朗诵端午诗词，而且每个同学都做了一份儿端午节的手抄报，虽然在上网课，可同学们都非常认真的把班会开完，因为我们就要毕业了，就要分开了，所以我们格外珍惜最后相聚的日子。同学们是那么的高兴，虽然是网课但也能近距离感受同学们参与的热情。

因新冠肺炎病毒再次出现，我们毕业班的集体照都拍不成了，真遗憾了。在六月份，我们回到了朝思暮想的学校，见到了敬爱的老师，亲爱的同学，在学校仅仅上了不到三周的课，就被可恶新冠病毒再次来袭，我们不得又在家学习，新冠病毒打乱了所有的生活节奏。每年的端午节，本来应该一家人包着各种馅的粽子，吃着飘有苇叶香甜的粽子，其乐融融的过端午节，今年呢，由于疫情，我们一家人没有出门，妈妈也因做了手术没有包粽子。所以今年我没有往年帮妈妈包粽子开心的场景。热闹的端午节因此沉寂而冷清，不断确诊的人数，让人触目惊心，这让多少家庭不能一起过端午节啊?

今天的端午节让我有了更深的认识，也领会到了疫情给我们带来的各种不便，我相信今年的端午节大家一定不会忘记，我盼望疫情早点儿过去，我希望明年还我们一个祥和快乐的端午节!

I have many dreams: when the teacher, as a pianist, when CEO...... But none have sustained me throughout childhood. When I first open around the world in 80 days, my heart has a wish: around the world as the protagonist and passepartout.

Topic one：Environment Protection（环境保护）

Water Pollution

With the development of industry, water pollution is becoming more serious now. The polluted water not only kills fish, it is also harmful to our health. Many people get sick because they drink the polluted water. In some rivers the water is so dirty that they can even kill plants.

We should fight against the pollution. We should stop using harmful things. I wish it is not a dream that in the near future we can have clean rivers again.

Environment Protection

Nowadays, peoples life has changed a lot with the development of modern technology and economy, which has put lots of negative effects on the environment.

Why this? Because, firstly, some factories are pouring wastes into rivers, lakes, seas and so forth; secondly, because of human activities, a great number of plants and animals are losing their lives; thirdly, using modern machines and chemicals is bad for the environment. Besides these, there are a lot of human activities which have done or are doing harm to our surroundings.

For this, I think, first, our government should make drastic measures to regulate human activities; second, we human beings should take pains-taking work to stop ourselves destroying the environment and try our best to protect our living space more.

端午日，我漫步于小城的街头，一般浓郁的节日气息与初夏的熏风同行，吹遍了大街小巷，处处洋溢着节日的气氛。和闽浙一带家家悬挂钟馗像与镇宅驱邪不同，江淮人家的门上多悬挂着艾叶菖蒲，据说也有避邪消灾之效。但这些并非我最在意的，因为激动人心的赛龙舟就像一块磁石一样吸引着我。

龙舟竞赛是家乡端午日的传统节目，自从端午节成了法定假日后，龙舟竞赛的规模越来越大。你看，老龙河平缓的水面上，停放着一艘艘红漆的龙舟，轻轻的水，红红的龙舟，在阳光的沐浴下，俨然映日别样红的荷花。参加赛龙舟比赛的都是各乡镇的农民，以中年人居多，也有一些二十多岁的小伙子，甚至还有妇女。每条龙舟十一个人：十个桨手，一个鼓手。每个人的脸上都带着笑容，看不出丝毫的紧张和凝重。

锣声敲过，比赛开始了。鼓声响起来，“咚咚、咚咚……“鼓声震天响亮却不乏节奏，疾速而又充满力量。红桨就像一条条红色的大鲤鱼，伴着鼓声整齐欢快地跃过。接近了!超过了!一只红船渐行渐疾，如离铉的箭一般，观众们的心蓦地紧张起来，欢呼声、锣鼓声混在一起。另一只船当然不甘示弱，迅速追了上来。两船旗鼓相当，犹如二龙水中争霸。鼓声雷鸣，两岸的人情绪更加高涨，呐喊声也更大了。终点快到了，只见船似疾驰的战马齐头并进。把鼓敲得更响些，把桨划得更快些。冠军产生了，喝彩声、鼓掌声、欢呼声响成一片，在水面上激荡!

随后，人们端来清香四溢的糯米粽子，把它们投入河里，以祭祀我国历史上伟大的爱国诗人屈原。“节分端午自谁言，万古传闻为屈原。堪笑楚江空渺渺，不能洗得直臣冤。”屈原投江之日距今已有两千多年了，但人们一直怀念他。那些爱人民、爱国家的人，永不该被忘却。

端午节伴随着汨罗江的那朵浪花，在时间的长河里一起流淌、永远清亮。

The Rules of Making Friends

We all like to make friends, we live in a society that we need to communicate with others. Without a friend, one can never express his emotions, no one share his sorrow and happiness. Making friends balances ones emotions, you can talk to friends any things, like secret, which you dont want to share with our parents. But here is the fact that not everyone is suitable to be friend, we need to obey the rules. First, the guy must be honest. Honesty is the base of the being friends, to be frank and then to be close. Second, there is something common in you two. The same interest always brings two hearts close, the more something in common, the better, thus he will be your best friends, you can share things with him. Making friends is a big deal, cause if you make the wrong one, you may get the negative thing from him.

我们都喜欢交朋友，我们生活在一个社会，需要彼此交流。没有朋友，一个人不能表达他的情绪，没人分享喜怒哀乐。交朋友能平衡感情，你可以和朋友谈任何事，比如你不会和父母分享的秘密。事实上，并不是所有的人都适合成为朋友，我们需要遵守原则。第一，那个人必须诚实。诚实是成为朋友的基础条件，闯开心扉然后变得亲近。第二，你们两个之间有共同点。共同的兴趣让两颗心靠近，越多共同点越好，因此他会成为你最好的朋友，你可以和他分享事情。交朋友是一件很大的事，因为如果交友不慎，你可能会感染他的一些恶习。

端午节假期的第一天，我和爷爷奶奶爸爸妈妈一起去了恩格贝。已经是中午了。我们去绿洲餐厅吃饭，然后和导游阿姨一起去了首站博物馆。导游阿姨讲解的很好，我认真听了一个日本爷爷在中国种树的故事。

来到第五站，胡莎湖。我们做了一艘快艇，然后开着一辆陌生的车来到了沙漠。那里有很多人。我厌倦了在沙丘上跑来跑去，就躺下埋脚。真的很有趣。突然妈妈说：“我们骑骆驼吧?”我说：“好的;”但是当我们下去的时候，很多人不得不骑骆驼。我们等啊等，可是车来了，我们没等谁的骆驼，我只好伤心地走了。

晚上住在恩格贝，交了几个好朋友。

第二天，我坐爸爸的车回了东升博的江海子镇。我们来到了农展馆，然后是硬币展厅、油坊、豆腐坊和蒙古包。我看到了很多奇怪的农业机器和房子。

中午我们去了苏布尔ga草原的蒙古包，吃了点饭，然后去了骑马场。我哥哥和爷爷骑着一匹马。骑马的时候，我觉得很害怕，就像一匹马跑上来把我扔了出去。不敢骑一次，让爸爸拉马，我又骑了一次。骑完马，我和哥哥在秋千上荡了一会儿，然后就来到了我爸爸车上哥哥的班级种的土豆的地方。我看到土豆苗长出来了!

第三天是端午节。我们吃了粽子。在家休息，完成作业。

这三天真的很开心!

Progress in science and the improvement of living conditions have led to the rapid growth of the world population. Modern medicine, for example, has made it possible for babies to grow up healthily and for people to live longer. With improved living conditions, particularly in the countryside, people tend to have larger families. As a result, the world population has increased so rapidly that it has now exceeded 6 billion.

But the overgrowth of population presents a threat to the existence of human society. A large population demands a GREat deal of food supply and shelter space. However, limited productivity and scarce world resources can hardly meet the needs of the ever-increasing population. Thus, in the long run, the overgrowth of the world population will only harm mankind.

To guarantee the steady development of human society, mankind must realize the consequences resulting from fast population growth and carry out a family planning programme. Only by adopting effective measures, can human society develop steadily and have a bright future.

每年的五月初五，是我国的传统节日——端午节。端午节，又叫端阳节、正阳节、龙舟节……

之所以有了端午节是因为在古代，有一位爱国诗人---屈原，因为他心怀国家，正直大义，常常被一些小人陷害，那些小人在楚怀王身边诬陷屈原，使得楚怀王不再信任这位忠臣，最后把他流放到了城外。被赶出家乡的屈原，看到祖国山河破碎，心里悲愤交加。于是绑上石头纵身跳入汨罗江中。老百姓知道后纷纷划船打捞屈原的尸体，捞了好久还是没有捞到，老百姓们害怕小鱼和小虾吃掉屈原的尸体，就把自己家用米包好的粽子纷纷投进河里，想让小鱼小虾吃掉这些粽子，不吃屈原的尸体。

后来人们为了纪念屈原，便把这一天定为端午节。端午节吃粽子的习俗也由此而来。

在我的家乡泾川，端午节最流行的习俗除了吃粽子，就是带荷包了。在每年端午节的前夕，县城街道会有很多卖荷包的摊点，与其说买，看荷包倒更让人乐在其中。荷包精美、种类繁多，有机器制成的还有纯手工制作的。妈妈每年最喜欢带着我去看一位老奶奶的纯手工荷包了，憨乎乎的小老虎、栩栩如生的蛇蝎、金丝线勾边的公鸡、绣着五毒的青蛙……她说这种手工艺品以后就会慢慢失传，所以显得格外珍贵，每年去我们都会挑一些买回家珍藏起来。荷包寓意驱邪保安康，到了端午节那天，妈妈大清早就会为我们姐弟三人准备好要带的荷包和五彩花绳，希望我们平安快乐地成长。

端午节还有吃粽子、挂艾草、赛龙舟等习俗。随着时代发展，粽子也变得形式多样，豆沙陷的，红枣陷的，蛋黄陷的，肉馅的……应有尽有。挂艾草对于我来说就更神奇了，听大人们说，小小一捆艾草放在门口竟然可以防蚊虫，去毒气。看来这万千世界，我需要学习和了解的常识还有很多呢。

端午节让我们了解到了伟大的屈原，还在每年过节的时候掌握到了更多端午节的习俗，更多地是感受到了亲人的关爱和我们对生活的热爱。我喜爱节日，更喜爱这样充满仪式感的传统节日。

A dream is to a man what wings are to a bird. With a dream in the deep heart＇s core, a man is spontaneously driven to hitch his wagon to a star. A dream is an inexhaustible source of energy that keeps our enthusiasm burning, and kindles our desire to enhance our spiritual cultivation, refine our character, and upgrade our quality of life. A life without a dream is like a bird with broken wings, confined to a cage and oblivious of what lies beyond the range of its vision. On the contrary, a man with a dream is like a warrior armed with ambition, foresight and gallantry, daring to step into an unknown domain to make a journey of adventure. It is dream that adds fullness, variety, and spice to our life and makes it worth living.

I have a dream. It is a dream that is deeply rooted in human nature. I dream that one day people of all origins can live in harmony and peace without being discriminated against or persecuted. the bounty of the earth can be shared by every single human being. Mutual respect will guarantee the existence and continuation of the diversity of customs and cultures. Love, sympathy, and cooperation will alleviate the sufferings and disasters inflicted upon our fellow men. Respect for basic human rights will put an end to social injustices and evils. When my dream comes true, all men will be truly equal, happy, and free.
