The Chinese New Year has a great history. In our past, people lived in an agricultural society and worked all year long. They only took a break after the harvest and before the planting of seeds. This happens to coincide with the beginning of the lunar New Year.

The Chinese New Year is very similar to the Western one, rich in traditions, folklores and rituals. It has been said that it is a combination of the Western Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year. This is hardly an exaggeration!

The origin of the Chinese New Year itself is centuries old - in fact, too old to actually be traced. It is popularly recognized as the Spring Festival and celebrations last 15 days.

Preparations tend to begin a month before the date of the Chinese New Year (similar to a Western Christmas). During this time people start buying presents, decoration materials, food and clothing. A huge clean-up gets underway days before the New Year, when Chinese houses are cleaned from top to bottom. This ritual is supposed to sweep away all traces of bad luck. Doors and windowpanes are often given a new coat of paint, usually red, then decorated with paper cuts and couplets with themes such as happiness, wealth and longevity printed on them.

The end of the New Year is marked by the Festival of Lanterns, which is a celebration with singing, dancing and lantern shows.

At the Festival, all traditions are honored. The predominant colors are red and gold. "Good Wish" banners are hung from the ceilings and walls. The "God of Fortune" is there to give Hong Baos. Lion dancers perform on stage continuously. Visitors take home plants and flowers symbolizing good luck. An array of New Years specialty food is available in the Food Market. Visitors purchase new clothing, shoes and pottery at the Market Fair. Bargaining for the best deal is commonplace!

“保护地球，爱护环境，不伤害动物就是保护我们人类自己”!所以我养了一只可爱的小狗。

"To protect the earth, protect the environment, do not harm the animal is to protect ourselves"! So I have a cute puppy.

它长得非常精神，身体瘦瘦的，四肢非常灵活，眼睛像宝石一样闪亮，它的鼻子非常灵敏，什么味道都能分辨。它看到陌生人就会把尾巴翘起来—汪汪大叫小狗汪汪大叫，把陌生人吓跑，它看到主人，摇着尾巴跑到主人面前，好像欢迎主人一样。

It looks very spirit, body thin, flexible limbs, eyes shining like jewels, his nose is very sensitive, what flavor can be resolved. It saw the stranger put tail up - barking dog barking, the stranger away, it saw the owner, wagging his tail, went to the master, to welcome master.

Throughout history man has changed his physical environment in order to

improve his way of life。 With the tools of technology he has altered many

physical features of the earth。 He has transformed woodlands and prairies into

farms and made lakes and reserviors out of rivers for irrigation purposes or

hydroelectric power。 Man has also modified the face of the earth by draining

marshes and cutting through mountains to build roads and railways。

However， mans changes to the physical environment have not always had

beneficial results。 Today， pollution of the air and water is an increasing

danger to the health of the planet。 Each day thousands of tons of gases e out of

the exhausts of motor vehicles。 Smoke from factories pollutes the air of

industrialized areas and the surrounding areas of the countryside。 The pollution

of water is equally harmful。 The whole ecological balance of the sea is being

changed and industrial wastes have already made many rivers lifeless。

Now environmental protection is more pressing than ever before。 As we know，

massive destruction of environment has brought about negative effects and even

poses a great threat to mans existence。 Indifference to these problems will

mean mitting suicide。 Therefore， effective measures should be taken and laws

passed to conserve environment。 Otherwise，man is certain to suffer from the

serious consequences caused by this lack of care for his living

surroundings。

Almost everyone knows that water covers three-fourths of the earths

surface. Most of it， however， is in the oceans and is too salty to drink. Also，

some of it is frozen and cannot be used. In fact， less than one percent is left

for the use of people， animals and plant life. All through history men have

tried to build their homes near the sources of fresh water. Now fresh water is

becoming scarce， but more and more is needed because of the increasing number of

people in the world. Some industries also use large amounts of fresh water in

the production of things such as steel， petroleum， paper and rubber and so on.

Scientists estimate that the need for fresh water will have doubled by the year

2003. If they are correct， we must find new ways of saving it or producing it.

Some nations have worked on the problem and are already sharing their

information with others. They are trying to keep their rivers from becoming

polluted. Deep wells are also being dug， and rain water is being collected in

huge artificial lakes. In one way or another， they hope to provide enough water

to satisfy the needs of their people.

We are always trying to find the way to success, which stands for power,

pride and glory. There have been strings of stories of success I was told since

I was a child. From then on, I have been fascinated with being successful.

Whatsuccess? Different people have different opinions towards this

question. To start with, some people, such as accountants, workers and so on,

are longing for being rich, which allows them buy what they want, and enjoy

luxury. They treat it as success. Furthermore, some contestants, such as boxers,

are always trying their best to defeat their rivals for success. And once they

win, they confirm that they are stronger than others. The last but not the

least, there are some other people who enjoy helping others. As a good saying

goes, the roses in her hand, the flavor in mine. With helping others, we can

also feel satisfactory.

As far as I am concerned, life is short, and we must achieve something

during our life. So I regard striving and working hard important. When comes to

we reap what we sow, it’s the time of success.

In addition to tension, enrich the study life, I also have a relaxed, enjoyable holiday. The rich content, enriched my life, as well as childish students career added a few minutes of fun and carefree.

At ones go for a walk after dinner is my daily required course. Stroll near the village of flowers and plants, breathing the fresh air, and the bird companion, to enjoy a rich rose, lily of the noble and pure, strange flowers, dinner and beautiful magnolia, cannas brilliant, I will gently said to myself: "life is beautiful." I use the sincere feeling around colorful, with enthusiasm to appreciate the very beautiful flowers around us. I spontaneously from the heart: "I, belong to nature!"

More to the book, I will plunge into the ocean, breathing the smell of the fragrance of bookstores, libraries specific, experience the fun of walking books. Into the ocean of history, qin shi huang burying Confucian behavior and anger, would I be for farewell my sad tears, for the various ge is bright "teacher heel dead" untimely. Stroll the palace of literature, I gradually realize the treasure chai helpless, dai jade talent, experience of Marys stubbornness, colin weak, experience of the early morning rain listen "yu, qian zhongshus" fortress besieged "...

My summer vacation life, is a poem, a green leaf, a song...

除了紧张、充实的学习生活外，我还拥有轻松、愉快的假期生活。那丰富多采的内容，充实了我的人生，也为童稚的学生生涯增添了几分乐趣与悠然。

茶余饭后去散步是我每天的必修课。漫步在小区的花草旁，呼吸着清香的空气，与花鸟作伴，欣赏着玫瑰的浓郁，百合的高洁，晚饭花的奇特，还有玉兰的娇美，美人蕉的绚丽,我会轻轻地对自己说：“生活真是美的。”我用真诚感受身边的五颜六色，用热情欣赏周围的姹紫嫣红。我不由自主地从内心发出：“我，属于大自然!”

更多地，我会一头扎进书的海洋，呼吸着书店、图书馆特有的那种书香的气味，感受漫步书海的乐趣。钻进历史的海洋，我会为秦始皇焚书坑儒的举动而激愤，为霸王别姬的悲惨而落泪，为诸葛亮“出师未捷身先死”扼腕叹息;漫步文学的殿堂，我渐渐体会到宝钗的无奈、黛玉的才华，体会到玛丽的倔强、科林的孱弱，体会到余秋雨的“晨雨初听”、钱钟书的“围城”……

我的暑假生活，是一首诗，一片绿叶，一支歌……

At the memory of my childhood, apart from outside the Chinese New Year Dragon Boat Festival on a number of the most lively, and because parents are busy job, a child usually with my grandmother to stay in the countryside together. Dragon Boat Festival at that time to make me unforgettable.

Good morning, I got up early, get dressed on the first toward the kitchen, when the grandmother has the kitchen to manage everything well, cooking up a few bundles tied and Gui Gui leaf rope, the nothing glutinous rice lying quietly filled a small bucket of water, like a pearl Jingying, cooking benches placed on some of the small dishes, which containing various materials: there is peanuts, there is red bean paste, there is meat, red pond.

At this point, the eggs are cooked, the grandmother picked up one of the largest on the use of red paper red dye, and then do a clean cloth, into yard, hanging on my neck. Then, my grandmother pocket containing seeds, candy, peanuts, often very happy to me, because this way I can and small partners to look at a dragon boat race.

Today, even though over the Dragon Boat Festival, the mother every year package tzu, made give my son, even though the mothers skill is not less than the grandmother, but I always feel that what less.

I really miss the Dragon Boat Festival childhood ah!

在我儿时的记忆中,除了春节以外就数端午节最为热闹了,由于父母工作都很忙,小时候我常常跟外婆一起呆在乡下.那时的端午节使我难以忘怀.

与平时的过年过节一样,在端午节的前一天晚上,外婆总会让我乖乖坐在床边,给我讲一些过节的规矩,例如“不许乱说话““不许偷吃冷粽子”“不许与小伙伴打闹”“不许玩水”……我总是批频频地点头.外婆就让我早早睡下,好让明天能有个好精神.

早晨,我早早地就起床了,穿好衣服就先奔向厨房,此时外婆已把厨房里的一切都打理好了,灶台上绑着几捆桂叶和桂绳,白白嫩嫩的糯米静静地躺在盛满水的小木桶中,像一粒粒晶莹的珍珠,灶台上放着的几个小碟,里面盛着各种各样的料：有花生、有豆沙、有肉、有红塘.

于是,我就坐在桌上一边 吃着早饭一边看着外婆忙碌着.

乡下的灶台是两边的,一边用来烧水,一边用来煮菜煮饭,外婆就把早已洗干净的鸭蛋放入大锅里,用木瓢从另一个热水锅里舀几瓢水放入大锅中,然后还细心地放入一小勺的盐,接着就往灶里添了几根枯枝,便坐在了我旁边,开始给我编络子了.

外婆的手由于长期劳动已经粗糙的像树皮一般了,但却不失灵巧,三下五除二一个用红绳编成的络子就编成了.

此时,蛋也煮好了,外婆就捞起一个最大的用红纸沾水染成了红色,再用干布擦拭干净,装进络子里,挂在我脖子上.接着,外婆就往我兜里装着瓜子、糖果、花生,我往往十分高兴,因为这样,我就可以和小伙伴们一起去看龙舟赛了.

外婆总是把我送到大门口,嘱咐着要我快些回来吃粽子.我总是一溜烟就消失了.

小伙伴们此时都差不多到齐了,由邻家的大姐姐当头,领着我们这一群小毛孩到河边看赛龙舟.由于河道较小,所以就只有两条的龙舟,每条龙舟都有13个人,12个人划桨,1个人打鼓喊口号,“一、二、嘿呦,一、二、快、”12个皮肤黝黑的小伙子动作整齐地划着,两条龙舟你追我赶地向前驶去.

可是,小孩子会知道看什么呢?我们只不过图个热闹罢了.女孩子一般看了一会儿,便觉得无趣了,就坐在一旁分享起零嘴,男孩子呢,则不然,他们总喜欢沿着岸边追着龙舟跑,由于划桨的人力度较大,几乎每个男孩身上都有水花溅着的痕迹.

锣响了,大概是舟到终点了吧,刚好东西也吃完了,站起身,与伙伴们拉着手高高兴兴回家去.

太阳也慢慢爬到正空中,外婆家的厨房里已经飘出了桂叶的清香了,我就连忙蹿进厨房里,去挑已出锅的个大的粽子.一般我都会坐在门槛上把那个粽子吃得干干净净,偶尔会剩下几颗糯米粒给鸡吃,看着大公鸡的贪吃样,我也被逗乐了……尽管如今过端午节,母亲每年都会包粽子,编络子给我,尽管母亲的手艺一点也不比外婆逊色,但我总觉得少了些什么.

农历九月初九为中国传统的节日重阳节。庆祝重阳节的活动多彩而浪漫，包括登高远眺、观赏菊花、遍插茱萸、吃重阳糕等。九与汉字久同音，又是个位数字之最，因此寓意长寿长久。自古以来，有不少贺重阳用菊花的诗词佳作。人们还以为，登高可以驱除霉运，意指晋升高位和长寿。中国把九月九日定为老人节，传统与现代巧妙地结合，使之成为一个尊老、敬老、助老的节日。

Today was the first day of my new life. I looked at my new books and

checked everything for the new school year. I was excited as well as

worried.

Entering new school, I was curious about everything, new classrooms, new

teachers, new classmates etc. It would be a new start for each student. And what

I was worried about is that I had no friends here. I wondered if no liked to

play with me. Were the teachers strict with students?

I fell relaxed when the teacher asked me, What else could I help you,

freshman?". I found that the teachers were kind and polite, and the classmates

around me were friendly. While I was thinking about how to get on well with my

classmates, my desk mate showed me his favorite Ipad4s. He wanted to play with

me, but I didnt know how to play, so he taught me patiently, and we played

happily.

Worries have gone, and happiness is coming.

端午节是中国传统的节日。在我们家乡还把端午节叫做“五月端午”，因为它是阴历五月初五这一天。而我更愿意把它叫做“粽子节”，因为在这几天，我都可以吃到美味香甜的大粽子。不仅如此，端午节的习俗也很多呢。

在我们家乡端午节虽比不上春节、中秋那般隆重，但是家家户户也是很重视的。就拿我们家来说吧，在进入阴历五月初一这一天，妈妈就把提前买好的红葫芦贴在了门口，和窗棂外面。贴葫芦也有讲究，葫芦的口要朝上，我就不明白了，问妈妈为什么要贴葫芦，还要这样去贴。妈妈说：“端午节贴葫芦，挂葫芦是为了趋灾避邪保安宁的。”“那为什么口朝上呢?”“听老人们说是为了把毒虫，灾难全都收起来，让家家户户安宁。”妈妈笑着说。原来如此啊。当然贴葫芦只是一个开始，因为到了五月，正是蚊虫开始活跃的时候了，家里的老人们，也爱把剪好的葫芦缝在小孩的衣服后背上。在肩头还要缝上一个小布老虎，以求平安。妈妈说我小时候就有这样的衣服，但是我已经不记得了。初一这一天我们还要吃鸡蛋，至于什么原因我就不知道了。反正妈妈这天早晨要煮上一大盆，家里的每个人都要吃上几个。到了初五这一天，家家门口都插上艾草，也是驱蚊避邪的。晒干的艾草还被姥姥做成了小香包送给我，当然这也是保平安的。这一天重头戏就是吃粽子。妈妈早早的就把米、枣、叶子泡上。泡好后大家就开始包，一个个粽子就在大人们的手中包好了。煮熟的粽子透着叶子的清香，咬一口，米黏黏的，枣甜甜的，真好吃!

我真的很喜欢端午节，更喜欢传统节日中蕴含的美好祝福。

When we are very small, we dream to be the great person in the future, such as the scientist, the policeman and so on. It is good for the children to own the big dream, so that they will study hard and fight for their future. But the fact is that not all the person can become the great person, most people are doing the ordinary jobs. In my opinion, ordinary is beautiful, too. Though they are not doing the fine jobs, they find their own place and make a contribution to the world. Take the cleaner for example. They wake up early and do the cleaning work. People dare not to do the job because it is so dirty, but the cleaners decorate the city with their hard work. The cleaners are the ordinary people while doing the great job.

在我们很小的时候，梦想将来成为伟大的人，比如科学家，警察等等。孩子有伟大的梦想是好的，这样他们就会努力学习，为他们的将来奋斗。但是事实上，并不是所有的人都能成为伟大的人，大部分人都是做着普通的工作。在我看来，平凡也是美丽的。虽然他们没有做着体面的工作，但是他们找到了自己的位置，为社会做贡献。就拿清洁工来说。他们早早起来做清洁。人们不敢做这份工作，因为脏，但是清洁工通过努力工作去装饰了这个城市。清洁工虽然普通，但是他们却做着伟大的工作。

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。

五月初五，一年一度的端午节如期而至，这是我最喜欢的节日啦!不仅如此，端午节的习俗也有很多。比如：吃粽子、赛龙舟、挂艾草、做香袋、喝雄黄酒……我渐渐长大了，懂得越来越多。我知道了屈原的故事，这样一个忠贞爱国的诗人，在我心中愈发高大起来!那么，今年我想用自己的方式来表达对他的仰慕和追思。

那就动手包粽子吧!一大早，我就迫不及待地催促姥姥准备做粽子的材料。姥姥笑眯眯地说：“准备好了，瞧，在那里呢!”我跑到厨房一看：“啊!泡了一晚上的红小豆，雪白的江米，腌制好的肉块儿，碧绿的粽子叶，暗红色蜜枣……我好像闻到了粽子的香味了!”

姥姥先把粽子叶放在开水里煮了大约五分钟，马上把它们从热水里捞出来，放到冷水里冷却。姥姥从冷水中捞出两片叶子，将它们一上一下地排好，沾上水，双手抓住叶子，向后对折成漏斗形，左手托住卷好的粽子叶，右手拿勺倒入三分之一的米。在姥姥指导下，我在“馅”里放入甜丝丝的大蜜枣，盖上一层江米后，右手抓起粽子叶的上半部，左手拍打粽子叶的底部。听姥姥说这么做是为了让粽子的“漏斗”装得更多些。咦!包粽子，还有这么多“学问”啊!

最后，我和姥姥用多余的叶子盖上顶部，再用马莲捆绑结实，在粽子上系一个蝴蝶结。哈哈，大功告成啦!

过了一会儿，将包好的粽子全都倒进了锅里，盖上锅盖，大火烧十分钟后，高压锅发出“咝咝”声，再盖上阀门，改换成小火，这时，满屋就已经开始飘动着粽子的香味儿，真让人垂涎欲滴啊!一个小时后，一个个充满清香的粽子新鲜出炉了!我一边品尝着粽，一边想着老百姓用这个形式来祭奠屈原的故事，不由得陷入了沉思!

赛龙舟的盛况，挂艾草的风俗，让端午节变得热闹而生动起来。我想，端午节，我们吃的不仅仅是粽子，更是我们中华文化的精神食粮——滋养我们的心灵，启迪我们的智慧。

My mother is a woman of the old school. She is too conservative to keep up

with the times. However, she is goodnatured and treats others sincerely. For

this reason, all her neighbors are only too glad (pleased) to make friends with

her.

They consider her a model woman.She is a typical housewife. She keeps the

(her) house neat and clean and looks after us with extreme care . She often says

to us, “You cannot study too hard.”

There is no doubt that we all want to be successful. But what’s the main

concern of the way to success? From Abraham Lincoln’s famous remark, “Give me

six hours to chop down a tree, and I will spend the first four sharpening the

axe”, I learn that if we want to achieve success, we must make full preparation

for it.

Only if we are well prepared, can we catch the opportunity which occurs

once in a while. In our daily life, we have to expand our horizon and lay a

solid foundation for success. It will be a long way to be successful thus we

have to accumulate our knowledge day by day. And we can’t achieve success in one

or two days. It will help us solve problems more efficiently if we have a broad

horizon. What’s more, opportunities always occur out of our expectation so we

have to make ourselves well prepared. If we prepared, we will catch up with it

whenever it comes up.

Opportunities give priorities to the people who make preparation for them.

What’s more, success goes along with opportunities. We should develop the

ability to solve problems in different and efficient ways therefore we can make

our way to success more easily.

Dragon Boat Festival is one of the most important lunar festivals in China.It is on the 5th of the fifth lunar month.

端午节是中国的一个最重要的农历节日。它是在农历第五个月的第五。

Almost every Chinese spends this festival.Before,in China,when this day comes,we dont have holiday.But from year 2008 on,the government specified this day as the holiday.Therefore,we can have enough time and energy to celebrate this day.

几乎每一个中国人在这个节日。之前，在中国，当这一天来临的时候，我们没有假日。但从一年2008，政府指定的这一天作为假日。因此，我们可以有足够的时间和精力来庆祝这一天。

In my memery,Dragon Boat Festival is in memory of the greatest poet Quyuan who was a patriot and died for his Country.He died from suicide .He threw himself into the river.In order to memorize him,people invented the zongzi which is a pyramid-shaped dumpling made by glutinous rice wrapped in reed or bamboo leaves.This custom is handed down till now.We now still eat zongzi.When it mentions zongzi,we have to mention Jiaxing zongzi from Zhenjiang province.The zongzi from this place is very famous and delicious .We suggest you should have a try.

在我的记忆中，端午节是最伟大的诗人屈原谁是爱国者，为国家而死的记忆。他死于自杀。他把自己扔入河中。为了纪念他，人们发明了粽子是由糯米饭了粽子包裹在竹叶或芦苇。这种风俗流传至今。现在我们仍然吃粽子。粽子时提到，我们不得不提到嘉兴从镇江省粽子。从这个地方的粽子是非常著名的美味。我们建议你应该试试。

Besides eating zongzi in this festival,some places also have dragon boat races.It is also in memory of Quyuan.Dragon boat is a quite interesting game which is liked by people deeply.Also there are many other activities that day.In my hometown,we need to eat eggs.I think everyone must have their own ways to celebrate their festival.

除本节吃粽子，也有一些地方的龙舟比赛。这也是为了纪念屈原。龙舟是一个很有趣的游戏，是人们喜爱的深入。也有很多其他活动的那一天。在我的家乡，我们要吃鸡蛋。我认为每个人都应该有自己的方式为了庆祝他们的节日。

Many people believe that having a lot of money is the greatest happiness in

life. But I dont agree with them, because money is not everything. Money cant

make us a true man.

The way I see it, good health is much better than a lot of wealth. No

matter how much money we have, we’ll not feel happy at all if we are in poor

health. In order to be healthy, we must keep a positive attitude and have a good

living habit.

Apart from good health, we must be diligent at work. As long as we work

hard, we cannot just make a good living, but enrich our minds.

Additionally, we ought to give our helpful hands to others when they are in

need. While helping others, we can own a good fame as well as get more social

experience. Its really a good way to kill two birds with one stone. Only by

doing so can we enjoy the happiest life.
