With the rapid development and the overpopulated in this society, more and

more people rushing into the big cities for personal development. So, the

housing problems in the big cities is becoming more and more serious.

In my humble opinion, there are several ways to slove this problems. First

of all, we can expend the cities, and build more apartment in the country. The

fresh air and clean water will attract young people to live there. What’ more,

the housing price will be lower than the big cities. Second, the government

should control the price of the house. If the house is too expensive, many

people may not be able to afford a house on their own. The government should

build some cheap apartment for the poor, the young people. Last but not least,

we should have more skyscapes, the land is limited, we need more space to

support people to have a good living condition.

A good living condition is the key to social stability. if our country have

enough houses, the pressure can be relieved to some degree. And our people can

live a better environment.

Chinese new year is a chinese traditional festival. We also call it the spring festival. It is on lunar january 1st.

On new years eve, all the people sit around the desk and have a big family dinner. There are some vegetables, some fish, some meat, some fruits and some drink like juice, coke, pepsi and some nice wine. Overall, this is a good and delicious dinner. After dinner, we always watch tv new year progammes. We have a wonderful evening on new years eve.

On the first day of the spring festival, most of people get up early and say “happy new year” to each other. for breakfast, people often eat dumplings and baozi. After breakfast, people often make many delicious foods, and children often play cards, computer games and fireworks. On the second and third day, we visit friends and relatives.

Everyone is busy on chinese new year, and everyone is happy, too.

春节是中国的传统节日。我们也称它为春节。它是在农历1月1日。

在新年前夕,所有人围坐在桌子上,有一个大的家庭晚餐。有一些蔬菜,一些鱼,一些肉,一些水果和一些喝果汁、可口可乐、百事可乐和一些不错的葡萄酒。总的来说,这是一个很好的和美味的晚餐。晚饭后,我们总是看电视节目。我们有一个美好的晚上在新年前夕。

在春节的第一天,大部分的人早起,说“新年快乐”。早餐,人们经常吃饺子和包子。早餐后,人们常常做出许多美味的食物,和孩子经常打牌,电脑游戏和烟火。第二和第三天,我们拜访亲戚、朋友。

在中国新年每个人都很忙,每个人都是快乐的,也是。

The air we breathe is so freely available that we take it for granted. Yet without it we could not survive more than a few minutes. For the most part, the same air is available to everyone, and everyone needs it. Some people use the air to sustain them while they sit around and feel sorry for themselves. Others breathe in the air and use the energy it provides to make a magnificent life for themselves.

Opportunity is the same way. It is everywhere. Opportunity is so freely available that we take it for granted. Yet opportunity alone is not enough to create success. Opportunity must be seized and acted upon in order to have value. So many people are so anxious to "get in" on a "ground floor opportunity", as if the opportunity will do all the work. Thats impossible.

Just as you need air to breathe, you need opportunity to succeed. It takes more than just breathing in the fresh air of opportunity, however. You must make use of that opportunity. Thats not up to the opportunity. Thats up to you. It doesnt matter what "floor" the opportunity is on. What matters is what you do with it.

We are living in a globalized world and the cross-cultural communications are increasing nowadays. In other words， we have never been so closely connected with each other in the human histories. As a philosopher has pointed out， nobody is an isolated island. If we want to have a bright future， we need more cooperation for the development. Therefore， team spirit is very important. It is an bility that people can understand each other and cooperate with each other for the successful completion of some important tasks.We need such kind of ability in particular during the globalization for several reasons.

我们生活在全球化的世界中，跨文化交流越来越常见。换句话说，在人类历史中，我们还没有如此紧密地链接在一起。就如一位哲学家所说的，没有人与外界孤立。如果我们想拥有广阔的未来，我们需要合作。所以，团队的精神非常重要。为了重大目标的完成，我们需要互相协作。在全球化的背景下，我们需要某种特殊的能力。

First of all， team spirit offers us a platform where we can operate our collective talent to work out thebest. Only when we work effectively together can we have the best chance to get the success. Taking the 2008 Beijing Olympics for example， I think the success of the event first goes to the superb team spirit of the organizers and millions of volunteers.So many people work hard and cooperate well for the single aim and the solitary goal： an exceptional Olympics for the whole world. A lot of student volunteers in Beijing are committed and work tirelessly during the hot summer. History has witnessed their brilliant teamwork and valuable contributions.What is more，team spirit is quite useful for personal career.

首先，团队精神提供了我们一个平台，这个平台能够集聚所有人的力量。只有我们努力协作，我们才有可能成功。就拿2008年北京奥运会为例，我认为事件的成功来源于上百万志愿者的协作和团队精神。所以，许多人为了单一目标而协作努力：为全世界奉献了精彩的奥运会。在炎热的夏天，许多志愿者努力工作。历史见证了他们的团队合作，以及卓越贡献。更重要的是，团队精神对于个人的发展也是有意义的。

As young students，we must learn the core and sharpen our skills in the team.If you work in a company，most of the time you have to finish or design a huge project with your colleagues. Each person can contribute their wisdom to the completion of the task. You cannot do it so well single-handedly. When we watchthe Olympic Games on TV， we are so amazed by the excellent performances of the players. If they want to win the gold medals， they must compete as one person and exercise their own part well for the whole success.So we can say the team spirit is the secret of success.

作为一名年轻学生，我们必须学会在团队中锻炼自己的能力。如果你在一家公司工作，那么绝大部分的时间你都必须与其他同事完成重要的设计任务。每个人都为这一目标献出了自己的智慧。你不可能单枪匹马。当我在电视机前观看奥运会比赛时，我们对运动员的出色表现而惊叹不已。如果他们想夺取金牌，为了目标，他们必须通力合作。所以，团队精神是成功的秘诀。

Finally，team spirit is the symbol of national power and strength. As we all know，the Chinese delegationhas won the most medals during the 2008 Olympics and all Chinese people are so proud of our country. Another example is the touching power of the team spirit in the Sichuan earthquake. We were moved by the perseverance and persistence of the rescue workers， who were eager to help their compatriots.

最后，团队精神是国家富强和力量的象征。众所周知，中国代表团在2008年奥运会上奖牌总数第一，中国人无不为此而骄傲。另一个体现团队精神的例子是四川地震。我们被救援人员的坚韧和顽强品质所感染，他们不惜生命的代价抢救伤员。

In conclusion， team spirit is an important ability and skill in the 21th century because we are all facedwith the globalization and the question of how to live better. Therefore， we must learn to work well in the team and let the team spirit guide us to success.

总结，团队精神是21世纪最重要的能力和技能，因为我们都处在全球化的大背景之下，我们的问题时如何生活得更好。所以，我们必须通力协作，只有团队精神才能让我们取得成功。

Modern American famous entrepreneurs iacocca said: "without innovation, death." Is ah, this sentence is absolute. Innovation to the development of a person indeed played a very big effect, only learn to innovate, to learn from various angles, to make themselves permanently in the invincible position, to make it and get play on their original level, thus more effectively to change yourself. Rut is one of our well known idioms, which contains the truth is told us to learn to innovate.

Thus, dares to innovate, to do something.

And what was said Mr Qi baishi is the portrayal of the story: "like I am dead, I dead." Go out of our predecessors framework, will not have their own heaven and earth. There is a story about a businessman and with partners go to gold, because gold prospectors, where resources are less, he learned to innovative ideas, to sell water, adapt to the needs of the market, and made a lot of money. These two examples all tell us the importance of innovation. Now the social everyone on the premise of innovation and to development, improvement, and change.

现代美国著名企业家艾柯卡说过:“不创新，就死亡。”是呀，这句话非常有绝对性。创新对一个人的发展的确起了很大的效果，只有学会创新，学会从多个角度，才能使自己永久地处于不败之地，使之并在自己原有水准上得到发挥，从而更高效地改变自我 。 墨守成规是我们众所皆知的一个成语，其中包含的道理就是告诉我们要学会创新。从前有俩个人，一个酷爱模仿名人书法，而另一个人则要求遵循自己的风格去练习，最终另一个成为一名著名的书法家，而那个墨守成规的人仍默默无闻。由此可见，敢于创新，才能有所作为。

而齐白石先生所说过的话正是这个故事的写照：“似我者死，学我者死。”走不出前人的框架，自己就不会有自己的天地。 还有一个故事讲述的是一个商人与同伙伴各自去淘金，由于淘金者数不胜数，哪儿资源又少，他学会创新思路，从而改卖水，适应了市场的需要，从而赚了许多钱。 这两个事例无一不告诉我们创新的重要性。如今，这个社会大家都以创新为前提，去不断发展，完善，改变。试问一下，一个人即拥有非凡头脑，又有创新意识和坚持不懈的精神，他会又怎什么样的结局呢?当然则是完美的结局咯!

所以，让我们行动起来，学会创新，提倡创新，去不断改善自我，趁我们其春年华，努力去做，是个人原有水准得到充分发挥，使自己永久性地处于不败之地，让自己拥有一个完美的结局，为自己的人生添上一笔绚丽的色彩!朋友，记住：创新改善自我。努力做吧!

Chinese people usually have two word or three word names: the family name, a middle name and the last name.中国人的名字通常由两个字或三个字组成：姓，中间名和最后名。

Family names always come tirst.For example, my full name is Bai Junwei.Bai is my family name. Junwei is my given name.But some Chinese people dont have the middle name. For example, a man called Zhou Jian. Zhou is his family name,and Jian is his given name.姓要放在第一位。例如：我的全名叫白君伟。白是我的姓，君伟是我的名。但有些中国人没有中间的名，例如：一个人叫周健，周是他的姓，健是他的名。

People often use Mr. , Mrs. , or Miss before their family names, but never before.their given names.So you can say "Mr. Zhou", but you could never say "Mr.Jian".人们经常在他姓的后面使用先生、夫人、小姐，但此种说法从不在名字后面使用。所以你能说“周先生”，而不能说“健先生”。

Chinese names are different from English names.In England, the last name is the family name. The first and the middle name is tile given name.For example,there is a man called Jim Henry Brown. Brown is his family name. Jim Henry is his given name.Another difference between~ E.nglish and Chinese names is that in China, the younger peoples names shouldnt be the same as the elders in the family.For example, my grandpas name is Guo Dong, so i cant be called Guo Dong again.This shows that we respect the old people.中国人的名字与英国人的名字不同。在英国，最后一个字是姓，第一个和第二个是名字。例如：有个人叫Jim HenryBrown，Brown是他的姓，JimHenry是他的名字。英文和中文名字的另一个不同之处是：在中国，年轻人一般不能取和老人一样的名字。例如：我的外公叫郭冬，而我不能再叫郭冬，这是对老人的尊重。

In the family, people usually call me Weiwei for short. This is because it is shorter and easier than Bai Junwei, and it also they love me.In one word, Chinese names are quite different from English names.在家里，大人通常简称我伟伟，这是因为这比白君伟短并且容易叫，也显示出了他们对我的疼爱之情。总之，中国人的姓名表示法与英国人不同。

I have a sister. Her name is Alice . She is one year old. She has short hair. She has a fat face. It looks like a big red apple. She has big eyes and a small mouth. She has only one tooth, but she can eat cookies. Her arms and legs are fat, too. But she can crawl very fast on the floor.

My sister is very naughty. She doesn’t sleep at night but sleeps at daytime. So my mother is tired to take care of her. She always crawls here and there, sofa, bed, chair, everywhere she likes to go. She likes to play with the toys. Bricks are her favourite. She likes to make different shapes with the bricks. Sometime it’s a house, sometimes it’s a bus. I think she is a smart girl. She likes to play with me. She likes my story-telling. She always asks me to tell stories for her.

There is a cartoon “Present Sheep and Mr. Wolf” on TV. My sister likes it so much. Every time when I turn on the TV, she always says “present sheep” to me, asks me to watch the cartoon. And every time she hears the theme song of the cartoon, she will sing and dance on the floor. Actually she can not sing and dance, she just shakes her little body to show us she likes it very much. She is so cute.

My sister is smooth-tongued. She likes to call me “sister”, call my dad “daddy”, call my mom “mummy”. She often call us many times a day.

In my eyes, my sister is naughty, lovely and smart. I like her.

Another haze weather, the visibility to hundreds of meters. Both vehicles and pedestrians in feeling, without laughing, also do not have the bird, in such an environment, there are only pungent odor, and dark.

Fog, originally like smoke, such as gauze, like a gauze over the earth. How many men of letters through the ages, it has to, to dump. Now with this beautiful fog fog seems to have a relationship, and made what mistake?

Fog haze, seemingly "blood relationship" with the fog, but it is very different and fog. The mist, is floating in the air water vapor condensation of water droplets or ice crystals. Sometimes fog forecast sunny, sometimes the forecast of rain, fog appears to be chaotic, but as long as to master the characteristics of radiation fog, advection fog, observation, careful analysis, can accurately grasp the fog and sunny, rainy, in order to predict the weather. For the agriculture, transportation, aerospace, navigation is useful. And haze is different, it is made of the dust in the air, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, and organic hydrocarbon particles composed of gray.

又是一个雾霾天气，能见度不足以百米。无论是车辆还是行人都在摸索前行，没有了嬉笑，也无了鸟鸣，在这样的环境里，有的只是刺鼻的气味和满目的昏暗。

雾，原本似轻烟，如薄纱，似纱巾笼罩着大地。古往今来，它曾让多少文人墨客为之陶醉，为之倾倒。而今与这美丽的雾貌似有着一丝关系的雾霾，又犯下了什么滔天大罪?

雾霾，看似与雾有“血缘关系”，但它却和雾截然不同。雾，是由浮游在空中的小水滴或冰晶组成的水汽凝结物。有时雾出预报晴，有时雾出预报雨，似乎混乱不堪，但是只要掌握了辐射雾、平流雾的特征，多方观察，仔细分析，就能准确地抓住雾与天晴、落雨的规律，以便预测天气。这对于农业、交通、航天、航海都有用处。 而雾霾就不一样了，它是由空气中的灰尘、硫酸、硝酸、有机碳氢化合物等粒子所组成的小灰粒。

Its almost the end of April. Summer has come to us in my city. In south,

summer always comes earlier than north. It has been hot for about half a month.

The highest temperature reached 37 degree. Now, there are much less people in

the street. People are not likely to go out during the summer. Its so hot

outside. Swimming is the most favorite activity in my city. The pools are always

full filled with people. Parents often take their children to swimming pool at

night. Personally, I do not like summer, because its too hot and the sunshine

is strong. I sweat a lot and that makes me very uncomfortable. Therefore, summer

is tough time for me and I always expect winter to come.

Today the quality of our natural environment has become an important issue. The world population is rising so quickly that the world has become too crowded. We are using up our natural resources and at the same time polluting our environment with dangerous chemicals. If we continue to do this, life on earth cannot survive. Concerned people have made some progress in environmental protection. Governments of many countries have established laws to protect the air, forests and sea resources and to stop environmental pollution.

Still more measures should be taken to solve environmental problems. People should be further educated to recognize the importance of the problems, to use modern methods of birth control, to conserve our natural resources and recycle our products. We are sure that we can have a better and cleaner place in the future.

今天,我们的自然环境质量已经成为一个重要的问题。世界人口增长如此之快,世界已变得过于拥挤。我们正在利用我们的自然资源,同时与危险化学品污染我们的环境。如果我们继续这样做,地球上的生命将无法生存。关注人在环境保护方面取得了一些进展。许多国家的政府已建立法律来保护空气,森林和海洋资源并停止环境污染。

更应该采取措施解决环境问题。人们应该进一步受过教育的认识到问题的重要性,使用现代避孕方法,来保护我们的天然资源和循环利用我们的产品。我们确信我们能在未来有更好的和更清洁的地方。

As the development of our society, computer has become an necessity of

general families. We students also have more chances to play it or use it in our

study.However, everything has two sides. Many students are addicted to computer

games and spend all their time in playing. Some of them even fail in their

study.Therefore, some people argue that playing computer games in harmful to

students and it should be prohibited strictly. From my point of view, spend some

time in computer games will not do harm to us. Firstly, it won’t cost us much

time, so our study and rest will not be influenced. Secondly, all work and no

play make Jack a dull boy. Although we are busy in our study, it doesn’t mean

that we can’t play at all. Some games may be good to us to some extent. I think

the one thing we should concern is that we should control ourselves properly.

That is to say we can’t play games all the day. We must keep in mind that games

are just for pastime and our priority is study.

Dear Jim,

I’m very glad that you’ll come to visit China. You asked me about the weather in China. There are four seasons– spring, summer, autumn and winter. Summer is the hottest season of the year. It often rains. And winter is the coldest. Sometimes it snows, especially in the north of China. If you like snow, you can come to China at this time of year. But I think the best time to visit China is in spring or autumn because it is neither too hot nor too cold. It is very pleasant to visit many places of interest in China, such as the Great Wall, the West Lake, Mount Yellow and so on. I believe you will enjoy yourself in China. I can’t wait to see you.

Best wishes!

Yours truly,

John

亲爱的吉姆，

我很高兴你会来中国。你问我关于中国的天气。有四个季节-春、夏、秋、冬。夏天是一年中最热的季节。经常下雨。冬天是最冷的。有时下雪，尤其是在中国的北方。如果你喜欢雪，你可以在每年的这个时候到中国来。但我想访问中国的最佳时间是在春天或秋天因为它既不太冷也不太热。这是访问感兴趣的中国很多地方很愉快，如长城，西湖，山黄等。我相信你会在中国享受自己。我等不及要见你。

最美好的祝福!

你真的，

约翰

It is the day that the families get together.

The spring festival is usually in the February ,sometimes in January.In the spring festival,every family all paste the lucky inscriptions,they fire the cracker,they eat the dumplings.The day before the new years first day is the new years eve,same as the christmas eve,all the families get together to have the new yaars dinner,wishes each other,talk about the wishes about the new year.Small children will receive the money given to children as a lunar new year gift.

The fifteenth day of the first arrived, my family and I go to the

lantern.

Can be busy in the street, people mountain people sea. At seven o clock is

very to, start with fireworks, "bang..." Voice rings, the fireworks are green,

red, yellow, purple, colorful, colorful. Look, a "super-sized" fireworks fly the

sky, and then with a roar, and fireworks sprayed out of the little one was full

of the sky, sometimes like a bauhinia, sometimes like a chrysanthemum. Some

township, bine... "Bang! Bang" rang again, and some bread with a small bee in

fireworks, after the blast, emit the light of fireflies. The colorful decorated

enveloped the entire lijin county. See gold waterfall flows down, every gold

falls and shiny golden flowers covered with earth. As the tang dynasty poet li

bai have cloud: "plunges three thousand feet, suspected galaxy nine days."

I am a college student, this is my fourth year in the college, which means

that I will graduate soon. Nowadays, many of my classmates have taken the action

to find the job interview, while I tell myself to calm down, actually, I have no

idea about my future, so I haven’t taken the action.

When the graduate season comes, students have to worry about their jobs,

for me, I have many annoyances, first, I don’t know which city should I go. On

the one hand, I want to stay in the present city that I live, because I have

many college students here, I can fight my career with them, we can also take a

drink when we have time. But on the other hand, if I want to stay in this city,

it means I have to be far away from home. I want to stay with my family, my

parents want to see me and I want to accompany them, working at my hometown is a

perfect idea for me. Now I still don’t know how to choose, once I have made the

decision, I have to give up something.

Before I make the best choice for me, i won’t find the job interview.

Chinese New Year is coming and my family is very busy. It‘s because Chinese New Year is very special and important. We must prepare many special things to get ready for this festival.

First, will make a big New Year meal. Second, we will make “Good-luck wishes.” Third, we will set off firecrackers. New Year meal is delicious and we think that eating some will bring us good luck. A long time ago, Chinese people believed red color could bring our good luck too. And we set off firecrackers could frighten ghosts away.

Chinese New Year is very popular between students. Because we can have a long happy holiday.

There are lots of volunteers around us now. And they dont do it for money,

they do it only for happy or others。As a young student, helping other people is

a major commitment.

If I have a chance to join a volunteer club and to be a volunteer who helps

others，I will try my best to help others。In my classroom ，I am good at math and

science ，I can help my classmates who are in trouble if I am free.In primary

school, I can help teach young students paint because I am good for drawing.And

I am good at singing，so I can sing songs to cheer up the sick people in the

hospital。Also,I can help the old people in the old peoples home , I can clean

the floor and do chores ，because I think the old people will be very tired and

hard if they do the housework by themselves.

Except these,so many things I can do . Not only I feel good about helping

others , but also I do something useful . So I think I should study hard to

improve my skills and I will help others in the future.

"...5, 4, 3, 2, 1 Ignite! Go!" On October 15, 2003, China launched its

first manned spacecraft into orbit from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Centre in

Northwest Chinas Gansu Province.

Spraying a mass of orange flames, the large, white Long March II-F rocket

carrying the Shenzhou-V spacecraft and Chinas first astronaut Yang Liwei soared

spectacularly skyward, gradually becoming a bright ball betore vanishing into

deep space.

As the worlds largest developing country, China is more than proud of

making its own contribution to human beings outer space exploration. Meantime,

it will turn out to be an important driving force for the countrys economic and

social development.The successful launch of Shenzhou-V ushered in a new chapter

in space history.

The National Day is a designated date on which celebrations mark the nationhood of a country.(国庆节) Often the National Day will be a national holiday.

The National Day is often taken as the date on which a state or territory achieved independence. Other dates such as the countrys patron saint day, or a significant historic date are sometimes used. Most countries have a single National Day per year, though a few, for example, India and Pakistan, have more than one. Besides that, each of the two special administrative regions of the Peoples Republic of China, namely Hong Kong and Macao, celebrate the day of the establishment of the special administrative region, as well as the National Day of the Peoples Republic of China.

The importance attached to the National Day, and the degree to which it is celebrated, vary enormously from country to country. In France, for example, National Day is 14 July and is known as Bastille Day. It is widely celebrated and the French Tricolour is much in evidence, while the President of the Republic attends a military parade on the Champs-élysées of Paris. In the United States, the Fourth of July celebrations are widely celebrated with fireworks and barbecues. In the Republic of Ireland, St. Patricks Day, March 17, has been the National Day and a Public Holiday for many years, and in recent years it has been observed as a full Public Holiday in Northern Ireland too. However, in the rest of the United Kingdom the constituent countries patron saints days are low-key affairs.

Most countries have a fixed date National Day, but some have movable dates. An example here is Jamaica, which celebrates its National Day on the first Monday in August. This commemorates independence from the United Kingdom which was attained on Monday, 6 August 1962 - the first Monday in August of that year. Another example is Thailand which celebrates the birthday of the King on 5 December. This date will change on the accession of the heir to the throne.

国庆节是一个指定日期庆祝活动标志着一个国家的国家。常常国庆节将会是一个国定假日。

国庆节通常是作为一个国家或地区的日期取得独立。其他日期,如国家的守护神,或重大历史日期有时使用。每年大多数国家只有一个国庆日,尽管一些,例如,印度和巴基斯坦,有不止一个。除此之外,每一个中华人民共和国的两个特别行政区,即香港和澳门,庆祝的日子特别行政区的建立,以及中华人民共和国的国庆节。

大多数国家有国庆节一个固定的日期,但有些活动日期。一个例子是牙买加,将在8月的第一个星期一庆祝国庆节。这是为了纪念从英国独立获得周一,1962年8月6——8月的第一个星期一。另一个例子是泰国庆祝国王的生日12月5日。这个日期会改变加入的王位继承人。
