There are four key points to study English: listening, speaking, reading

and writing.

Firstly, we should be brave to talk with others in English. By doing this,

we can improve ore talking and listening skill.

Secondly, we should try to listen to all kinds of English programmes as

much as possible. In this way, we can gradually improve our pronunciation.

Thirdly, we should often read English books. When we come across a new

word. We should guess its meaning through the contest first. Then look it up in

the dictionary to have a check. I thin,, it is a good way of reading.

Fourthly, we should practice our writing skills. Whenever we have any idea,

we should get the pen and write it down at once. It is very important to avoid

writing in Chinese way and using the Chinese grammar.

As long as we listen, speak, read and write more, we are sure to make

remarkable progress!

“Growing Pains” seems full of knowledge and experience. So it does because

all of us have growing pains and also growing gains in our lives.

Growing up is not a very enjoyable time. It means I have to work hard in

studying and in family. Theres always so much homework given by teachers and so

many arguments between the parents and me. The time is fair, but it seems it

gives pains three quarters and only one quarter to gains.

But gains give me power and confidence. Successes and friendship make me

happy and enjoyable. We played with snow in the winter that seldom snows, we

flew kites in the night that usually belongs to homework, we ate several ice

creams that almost made us cold. We picked up leaven that no longer high up!

Although pains are always more than gains, I believe both of them make my

life more colorful

Nowadays, many female students are idolaters. In order to chase after their

idols, they always do extreme ways. For example, they listen to their idols

songs almost every minute in their daily life. With a smart phone, they do it

when reading books, doing homework, having meals, and even walking on the road,

which may have many bad effects on their health and even cause safety problems.

Besides, plenty of girls think they like their idols so much that they chase

after their idols wherever they go, just to get their signatures. They also

daydream of dating with their idols and get psychological problems at last. All

of these are worth our attention. We should educate girls that their idols are

some people who are lucky enough to be famous, and listening to their songs and

watching their photos are the things they should do in their life. Thus, they

are supposed to balance chasing after idols and their daily life properly.

England is a nation in northwest Europe and the largest and most populous constituent country of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Its inhabitants account for more than 83% of the total population of the United Kingdom, whilst the mainland territory of England occupies most of the southern two-thirds of the island of Great Britain and shares land borders with Scotland to the north and Wales to the west. Elsewhere, it is bordered by the North Sea, Irish Sea, Atlantic Ocean, and English Channel.

England was formed as a country during the 10th century and takes its name from the Angles — one of a number of Germanic tribes who settled in the territory during the 5th and 6th centuries. The capital city of England is London, which is the largest city in the British Isles, capital of the United Kingdom and one of the worlds Global Cities.

England ranks as one of the most influential and far-reaching centres of cultural development in the world;it is the place of origin of both the English language and the Church of England, was the historic centre of the British Empire, and the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution.

The Kingdom of England was an independent state until 1 May 1707, when the Acts of Union resulted in a political union with the Kingdom of Scotland to create the Kingdom of Great Britain.

Englands National Day is St Georges Day (Saint George being the patron saint), and it is celebrated annually on 23 April.

April 4th is the Tomb-sweeping Day in China, which is one of the most

important traditional festivals. The young people will come back home and sweep

tomb with their families. The meaning of Tomb-sweeping Day is to honor the

ancestors and it has more than 2500 years history. Chinese people pay special

attention to remember their ancestors, so no matter how far they are, they

always know where they are from. When they are old, they will return to the

place where they are from. It is a good tradition. The sense of belonging makes

people feel safe. Whats more, the relationship between relatives makes the

whole family become stronger, because people are united by the same ancestors.

Thus, they treat each other as families and give support all the time. What a

great tradition it is.

One day three men got a bottle of wine. But the wine was not enough for the

three and each of them wanted to drink the wine alone. Then they all agreed that

they each would draw a snake on the ground and the one who first finished

drawing would be given the wine. So they began to draw on the ground with

sticks.

It was not long before one of the three finished drawing his snake. He took

up the bottle of wine with pride. He was about to drink when he found the other

two were still busy with their drawings. “How slow you are!” said he, “I can

even add feet to my snake before you finish yours.” He put down the bottle and

began to add feet to his snake. But before he finished, another man took hold of

the bottle and said ,“Ive finished. Snakes have no feet, so yours is not a

snake.” With these words he drank up the wine.

When we attend university, the moment we choose our major, which most

probably means the job we will work on in the future. Some people choose to work

on what they like and give up doing something that is related to their major. A

girl made such decision. She learned music in the top university. After

graduated, she found that she liked to be away from the noisy city, so she chose

Internet and became famous. She even showed on the TV. Sometimes choose another

It was a very busy evening. I was doing my homework at my home. My father was writing a composition in the study room. My mother was interested in Shanghai opera. She was watching a Shanghai opera contest. The apartment was very quiet. Suddenly the light went out. It was a blackout, but I liked it very much. It came and I didn’t have to do my homework. We went to the living room very slowly. After 5 minutes, we all sat in the sofa. It was a lucky, fortunate day. I said that let’s held a concert. My parents agreed with me. I took out some candles and lighted up. We were singing, laughing and talking. We had a really good time. But while I was singing, the light suddenly turned on. Oh, my God. My father went back to his room went on writing. My mother turned on the TV and said to me “Dear, do your homework!” I felt very frustrated. I sat at the desk and thought I hated light. I hoped there would be a blackout the next day. I thought I would enjoy myself more and more. I went into a dream……

今晚真是个忙碌的晚上。我正在家里写作业，我爸爸正在书房里写作文。我妈妈对上海歌剧感兴趣。她正在看上海歌剧比赛。公寓非常安静。突然间断电了。一切都黑麻麻的，但是我很喜欢。断电了，我就可以不用写作业了。我们慢慢的走向起居室。五分钟后，我们都坐在沙发上。这是一个既幸运又倒霉的一天。我说让我们开个音乐会。 我父母都同意了。我拿出一些蜡烛并点燃它们。我们唱歌，大笑，聊天。我们都玩得很开心但是当我在唱歌时，灯突然亮了。哦，我的上帝啊。我爸爸继续回房间写作文。我妈妈开着电视并对我说“亲爱的，去写作业!”我觉得很沮丧。我坐在桌子边，想我恨灯光。我希望第二天还能够断电。我觉得我会越来越开心的。我陷入了梦境…………

After reading this book I think it is necessary to share the old legend to everybody .

There is a legend about a bird which sings just once in its life, more sweetly than any other creature on the face of the earth. From the moment it lea一ves the nest it searches for a thorn tree, and does not rest until it has found one. Then, singing among the sa一vage branches, it impales itself upon the longest, sharpest spine. And, dying, it rises above its own agony to out- carol the lark and the nightingale. One superlative song, existence the price. But the whole world stills to listen, and God in His hea一ven smiles. For the best is only bought at the cost of great pain …

Meggie Cleary is just like the bird,and Ralph is her superlative song.

I read the book then watched the movie, both of them ga一ve me great shock, I really admire Meggie,she had the courage to use her whole life to love Ralph, never ga一ve up. She believed that she would love Ralph only in her life. But I don’t like Meggie’s attitude to love, Ralph is a Father, and he mustn’t love Meggie, they really loved each other, but they are not destined to be together. So in my opinion I think Meggie should give in, she shouldn’t fight with God, Ralph had told her he would serve God forever, so Meggie wouldn’t win. Maybe giving up is a good choice. Their love is painful.

Tell the turth I don’t like Meggie neither Ralph, Ralph could not give Meggie happniess while Meggie couldn’t support Ralph to concentrate on his work. So they would not ha一ve happy life, they only made each other feel sad .

Frank is my fa一vorite role. he was short but strong ,and he was one of the main labor in his family. He didn’t want to be a shepherd, but the family needed him , and he must feed he the sheep so that everybody in his family can live better. Once he escaped from home , but it wassn’t long before his father found him and take him home. I feel so sorry that he had a miserable fate. He longed for freedom but most of his life didn’t belong to himself, it’s really a pity .

Frank was different to every man in their home, he loved his mother deeply, and he always helped his mother do the housework. he dreamed to be an outstanding boxer. Frank was considerable, and he always try his best to make Meggie feel happy. As Meggie’s oldest brother, he could be worried about Meggie’s fa一vorite doll, and he even tried to fixed the doll which was distroyed by Meggie’s other brothers. Frank and Meggie would always tell each other what they thought in their deep heart , and they are close friends.

I was so sad when I learned that Frank killed a man and he was sent to the prision. It is really a big shock to Meggie, for Frank was the only one who can listen to Meggie’s secrets. She thought she lost Frank forever. I cannot imagine how painful for Frank to spend dozens years in the prision. He once had good dream about his life, but he had to waste most of his life in prision. In my opinion it was Frank’s father that distoryed his life. His father didn’ t give him freedom, and Frank can’t had strong resistance spirits, and because he didn’t control himself and broke the law.The energitic Frank will never come to us, and he became a man who didn’t wanna talk. He began to be afraid of the world…it is really a pity.

As for Meggie, I think she was a good girl. She was beautiful and smart, but she it was wrong for her to love Ralph. Meggie was an excellent girl, she was able to find an outstanding boy to love her, but she put all her love on Ralph even she married Luke. She married Luke just because Luke looked like Ralph. Meggie wanna be a thorn bird, but I think it was too cruel to her. She was so kind that she shouldn’t stand that king of pain, and I think she was born to ha一ve a happy life. I pity for her.

Both the story of thorn birds and the legend are painful and beautiful, but not every one can be the thorn birds, because it is not our porpose to ha一ve a painful life. We are born to be happy. Olny happiness is the ture meaning of life while the story was written for us to enrich our life. It is a wonderful story.

MySpringFestival Last year’s Spring Festival is special. My uncle and my

aunt came back from Shanghai. My family were very happy to keep the Spring

Festival with them. And it was the most exciting festival of all the festivals.

On New Year’s Eve, my father and my uncle talked about their work together. My

mum did some cooking with my aunt Grandparents and I watched the New Year TV

programmes. At about six o’clock, we had a special family dinner. We all thought

the dumplings were delicious. On the first day of the New Year, we visited our

relatives. In the afternoon, we went shopping in Jiefanf Road. My uncle bought

some Jay’s CDs. He likes Jay’s music very much. There were so many people on the

road. It was more alive than any other time of a year. On the second and the

third days, we spent a wonderful weekend in the country. There were much bigger

trees than in the city. And the animals were more beautiful than in the city. We

all enjoyed ourselves. I had an interesting Spring Festival. How about you?

Dumpling is a traditional Chinese food.On the lunar New Year s Day,most

families make a lot of delicious dumplings.To make them,follow this easy

process.

The first step is to mix the flour with water.When the dough is ready,we

can begin to make dumpling wrappers.We use a rolling pole to roll the dough into

small,thin and round pieces so that they will be easy to cook.When the wrappers

are done,it s time to prepare the filling.Usually,we use meat such as beef or

mutton,and some vegetables such as cabbage or carrots for filling.You may

actually choose whatever you like to put into it.We must chop those things into

small pieces.Then put some salt,oil and other condiments into it and stir it

evenly.When all these preparations are done,we can start making dumplings.First

put a spoonful of filling in the center of the wrapper.Then stick the two

opposite sides together and then the rest.Don t just cover the filling with the

wrappers.The best shape of dumplings is that of a ship,because when they are

boiling in the pan,they look like ships sailing in the sea.The smell can make

your mouth water.

from the golden-tipped fields of mid-west america to the ancient kingdoms of verdant palestine, there is a happy truth to be shared with all who would take heed. in more recent times, this truth has been expressed as: april showers bring may flowers. this is a truth that promises light bursting from darkness, strength born from weakness and, if one dares to believe, life emerging from death.

从美国中西部金色的田野，到巴勒斯坦嫩绿色的古老疆土，那些留心观察的人共享着同一个快乐真理。近来这一真理被阐述为：四月的雨带来五月的花。这一真理预示光明会从黑暗中迸发;刚强生自软弱;如果你敢确信，生命会从死亡中萌发!

farmers all over the world know the importance and immutability of the seasons. they know that there is a season to plant and a season to harvest; everything must be done in its own time. although the rain pours down with the utmost relentlessness, ceasing all outdoor activities, the man of the field lifts his face to the heavens and smiles. despite the inconvenience, he knows that the rain provides the nourishment his crops need to grow and flourish. the torrential rains in the month of april, give rise to the glorious flowers in the month of may.

全世界的农民们都明白季节的重要性和永恒性。他们知道在哪个季节播种，哪个季节收获，每件事都必须应时而做!虽然暴雨无情地倾盆而下，迫使所有的户外劳作停止，但土地的主人会仰天微笑。尽管有诸多不便，但是他知道，雨会为他的庄稼带来繁茂生长所需的营养。四月里的豪雨，会带来五月里的繁花似锦。

but this ancient truth applies to more than the crops of the fields; it is an invaluable message of hope to all who experience tragedy in life. a dashed relationship with one can open up the door to a brand new friendship with another. a lost job here can provide the opportunity for a better job there. a broken dream can become the foundation of a wonderful future. everything has its place.

但是这一古老真理并不只适用于田里的庄稼，它还是那些正经历着人生磨难的人的无限希冀：一段友谊的受挫会开启另一段崭新友谊的大门;此处失去的工作会提供彼处更好的工作机会;一个梦想的破灭会成为美好未来的基石。万物皆有道!

remember this: overwhelming darkness may endure for a night, but it will never overcome the radiant light of the morning. when you are in a season of sorrow, hang in there, because a season of joy may be just around the corner…

请谨记：势不可挡的黑暗或有一晚，但它永远无法阻挡清晨的万丈光芒!当你正处于悲伤之季，请坚持住，因为欢乐的季节也许马上就会到来……

My mother has a pair of keen eyes which can speak. Whenever I encounter difficulties， her eyes will encourage me and help me cheer up. When I began learning to walk， mother always lent me a hand and encouraged me to stand up while I fell down.

我的母亲有一双敏锐的、会说话的眼睛。每当我遇到困难的时候，她的眼睛总是鼓励我，帮我振作起来。在我开始学走路时，母亲总是帮助我，鼓励我站起来，我摔倒了。

As I finally threw myself into her arms， her eyes Smiled with praise. Aftei I entered the school， mothers eyes still encouraged me.

最后我晃晃悠悠扑到她的怀里，她的双眼充满了赞扬。我长大上学后，母亲的眼睛仍旧鼓励我。

Once I failed my Chinese exam， my mother helped me find out the reasons instead of blaming me. Now I have grown up and become more independent， but whenever I come across setbacks， my mothers eyes are always with me encouraging me wherever I go.

一旦我语文考试不及格，妈妈帮我找出原因而责备我。现在我已经长大了，变得更加独立，但每当我遇到挫折时，母亲的眼睛总是伴随着我，给我鼓励。

The main function of public libraries is to provide books for people to

read.In a library,there are books on different subjects,such as Chinese

history,fine art,science,English literature,and so on.There are also works fo

fiction.

The public libraries are crowded with people on weekdays as well as Sundays

because many people,especially students who want to consult reference books for

their school work,know that they could at least learn something there.

Besides reading in the library,we can also borrow books with library

cards.But books on loan had to be returned within a couple of weeks.As far as I

know the number of people who borrow books from public libraries is increasing

year after year.

I go to the City Hall library twice a month to read.

Christmas Day-December 25-which celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ, the founder of the Christian religion, is the biggest and best-loved holiday in the Christian World.

According to the Bible, the holy book of Christians, God decided to allow his only son, Jesus Christ, to be born to a human mother and live on earth so that people could understand God better and learn to love God and each other more. "Christmas"- meaning "celebration of Christ "- honors the time when Jesus was born to a young Jewish woman Mary.

Mary was engaged to be married to Joseph, a carpenter, but before they came together, she was found to be with child. Because Joseph, her husband, was a righteous man and did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly.

But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins."

Although the exact date of the birth of Jesus nearly 2,000 years ago is not known, the calendar on the supposed date divides all time into B.C. (Before Christ )and A.D. ( a Latin phrase, Anno Domini, "in the year of our Lord.") For the first 300 years, Jesus birthday was celebrated on different dates. Finally, in the year 354, church leaders chose December 25 as his birthday.

这个世界上有许许多多的困难，克服了就吃到了成功的糖果，失败了就吃到很酸的酸梨，在我三岁时，就尝到了成功的糖果。

记得我三岁时骑的是四个轱辘的自行车，那时看到别的小朋友都起两个轮子的自行车时，我也很想骑。可是心中的心魔怎么也消失不了，总是怕摔着，怕磕疼了。爸爸妈妈给了我很大的鼓励，最后把两个小轱辘卸掉了，骑上去没有重心，总是东倒西歪，两只脚没有同时离开地的时候。还没联系一会儿，我就像泄了气的皮球，撅起了嘴巴。爸爸妈妈看我这么一会儿就泄气了，给我讲了好多道理，我也听不进去。最后爸爸妈妈使用一计，让我很快学会了骑车。

爸爸妈妈也把自己的自行车推了出来，骑了上去并对我说：“婷婷，我和妈妈要骑车出去玩了，再见啦!”我一看爸爸妈妈要走，一边骑上车追，一边说：“你们别走呀，等等我。”这是爸爸妈妈才停下来，看着我，会心的笑了。我立刻停了下来，抱住了爸爸，对他说：“爸爸，我会骑车了。”

就这样，我学会了骑车，经过我刻苦的练习，我不到一个星期就掌握了技巧。我们一家子骑车出去玩了。

“困难像弹簧，你弱它就强。困难像弹簧，你强它就弱。”

我通过那件事终于明白了这个道理，做事要坚持，不能半途而废。一定要吃到成功的糖果!

The Chong Yang Festival is celebrated on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, and it is as such known as the Double Ninth Festival.

Climbing mountains: On the Double Ninth Festival, people customarily climb mountains, appreciate chrysanthemum flowers, drink chrysanthemum wine, and eat double-ninth cakes. The Double Ninth Festival is also the Old Men Festival. Old people are especially meant to improve their health by taking part in the activities on the day of the festival.

Origins: The festival began as early as the Warring States Period (475 - 221 BC). According to the yin/yang dichotomy that forms a basis to the Chinese world view, yin represents the elements of darkness and yang represents life and brightness. The number nine is regarded as yang. The ninth day of the ninth month is a double yang day, hence the name Chong Yang Festival. (Chong means repeat in Chinese.) The ninth month also heralds the approach of winter. It is a time when the living need warm clothing, and filial Chinese sons and daughters extended this to make the festival a time for providing winter clothes for their ancestors. The Double Ninth Festival, therefore, also became an occasion to visit the graves of dead family members. Clothes made of paper would then be burnt as offerings.

Family get-togethers: The Double Ninth Festival is also a time for family get-togethers. It is an occasion to remember one‘s ancestors, the sacrifices they made and the hardships they underwent. Often, family outings are organised during which people search to renew their appreciation of nature and to reaffirm their love and concern for family members and close friends.

在这一则报导中，我学到很多事，但我第一个想到的是，造成地球变暖的原因是二氧化碳增加。

In this paper, I have learned a lot of things, but I think the first one is the cause of global warming, the increase of carbon dioxide.

为什么二氧化碳会增加呢?我想到的原因是人们常常开车、养食家畜、工厂大量排放黑烟……等。不过这些是大家可以一起解决，说不定可以改善地球继续暖化，例如：目的地很近的话可以骑自行车;目的地很远的话，可以搭乘公共交通运输工具;家畜的排泄物经过处理再排入河内;工厂可以建一座废弃处理厂……等。

Why carbon dioxide will increase? I think the reason is often drive, raising livestock, food factory emissions of smoke...... Etc.. But these are all can solve them together, it can improve the Earth continues to warm, for example: the destination is close enough to ride a bike; destination long enough, can take the public transport; waste livestock treated and then discharged into the Hanoi factory; to build a waste treatment plant...... Etc..

请大家不要小看二氧化碳的威力，等到海平面上升、都市浸水和农地淹没，到最后就会面临粮食不足的危机了。请大家跟我一起喊：“停止伤害地球的行为吧!我们居住的地球只有一个。”

Please do not underestimate the power of carbon dioxide, when the sea level rise, urban water and farmland submerged, eventually facing food shortage. Please call with me: "stop the harm to the earths behavior! Only one earth on which we live. "

When we are feeling sick and lying in bed, is parents will take care of us; When we test sent, it is parents encourage us; When we made a mistake, it is the parents education in the us to correct our mistakes...

Thank my parents when I was frustrated, encouraged me, comfort me, give me courage, let me set up confidence to face the difficulties bravely. Remember a math test, I only got eighty points. I returned home, sadly homework also do bad, eat not sweet. Mom saw my abnormal, kindly ask me why sat by my side. I YiWuYiShiBa exam told his mother the truth, I didnt expect that my mother did not criticize me, instead, comfort I said: "good kid, a failure is not equal to yourself is not good, do you want to analysis the reason, well know where mistakes, this is progress." Listen to the mother, I feel much more relaxed.

Have words to say well "who made the heart-inch grass, at a three chunhui". Therefore, in order to repay hard raising my parents, I must study hard now, when I grow up, find a good job, let parents abetted. Parents paid for me, I will thank you ten times, one hundred times, return them, let them give valuable.

当我们生病卧床不起时，是父母在无微不至地照顾着我们;当我们考试考差了，是父母的鼓励着我们;当我们犯了错误，是父母的教育着我们改正错误......

感谢父母在我受到挫折时，鼓励我、安慰我、给我勇气，让我树立自信勇敢地去面对困难。记得一次数学测验，我只考了八十多分。我垂头丧气地回到家，作业也做不好，饭吃不香。妈妈看见我的反常，坐在我的身边和蔼地问我原因。我一五一十把考试的实情告诉了妈妈，令我没想到的是妈妈不但没有批评我，反而安慰我说：“好孩子，一次失败不等于自己就不优秀了，你要好好地分析原因，知道错误到哪里，这就是进步。”听了妈妈的话，我的心情一下子轻松多了。

有一句话说得好“谁言寸草心，报得三春晖”。因此，为了报答辛苦养育我的父母，我现在一定要好好学习，长大后，找一个好的工作，让父母安享晚年。父母为我付出的，我将十倍、百倍的感谢、回报他们，让他们的付出有价值。

People travel by plane, by train, by ship, by bus. To me, the best way of

traveling on a summer vacation is to go on foot.

My preference depends on the purpose of the travel. On a summer vacation I

travel to refresh myself and to see the countryside. When I use my feet and walk

on a grass covered path along a river or among the hills I feel detached from

the noise of the city and closer to the nature. And when I travel on foot I get

more freedom. I can plan my own schedule. I can choose my own route. I can stop

where I like. And I can see things and people that I might miss if I travel on a

train or on a bus. net

When faster and more convenient ways for travel are becoming available, I

still favor using my own feet. I get much pleasure from it. People travel by

plane, by train, by ship, by bus. To me, the best way of traveling on a summer

vacation is to go on foot.
