lady called Bruce Dodd put forward that people should establish father’s day. At

that time, people only celebrated the mothers day, but nobody celebrate

fathers day yet. Lady Dodd had lost her mother when she was very young, her

father raised her grew up. Lady Dodd was so thankful for what her father had

done for her that she wrote a letter to the government. In the letter, she

appeals to establish the fathers day. The government accepted her suggestion

and decided that the third Sunday of June is the national father’s day. In 1972,

the president Nixon had passed the law and agreed that the father’s day is on

June the third Sunday. From this year, the world started to celebrate father’s

day.

love him. Happy father’s day!

unavoidable consequence of life. Without stress, there would be no life.

However, just as distress can caw disease, there are good stresses that balance

岁末年初，正当人们准备欢度春节之际，新型冠状病毒感染的肺炎疫情悄然而来，一场阻击病毒疫情的战斗也随之打响。在疫情爆发和防控危险时刻，总有一些我们不知道的无名英雄，他们以“逆行”的姿态为我们筑起一道坚固的“防护墙”，他们在打一场没有硝烟的疫情战，是一条永无退路并且必胜阻击战。他们，就是这个时代的最美逆行者。

Novel coronavirus infection is coming quietly at the beginning of the year,

just as people are ready to celebrate the Spring Festival. A battle against the

virus has also started. At the time of outbreak and prevention and control,

there are always some unknown heroes who build a solid "protective wall" for us

in a "retrograde" attitude. They are fighting an epidemic war without smoke of

gunpowder, which is a never-ending and inevitable resistance war. They are the

most beautiful rebels of this era.

抗击疫情，他是我们的“定海神针”

To fight against the epidemic, he is our "Dinghaishenzhen needle"

1月18日，钟南山院士从广州赶往武汉。1月19日从武汉又赶往北京，凌晨两点才睡觉。1月20日全国电视电话会议新闻发布会，媒体直播连线又是忙到深夜。实际上，钟南山院士一直活跃在科学前线，在来武汉之前，他也没有退休、没有安逸。他曾说：“医院是战场，作为战士，我们不冲上去谁上去?”他是无双国士，更是定海神针!根本就没有什么岁月静好，只是他和他的战友们冒着牺牲的危险替我们负重前行。

On January 18, academician Zhong Nanshan rushed to Wuhan from Guangzhou.

From Wuhan to Beijing on January 19, I went to bed at two oclock in the

morning. On January 20, at the national teleconference press conference, the

live media connection was busy late into the night. In fact, academician Zhong

Nanshan has been active in the front line of science. Before he came to Wuhan,

he didnt retire and have no comfort. He once said: "the hospital is the

battlefield, as soldiers, who dont we rush to?" he is the unparalleled

national, but also the sea god needle! There is no time to be quiet, but he and

his comrades risked the risk of sacrifice to carry forward for us.

抗击疫情，她是我们的“铁娘子”

To fight the epidemic, she is our "Iron Lady"

严丽，她是急诊科医护团队眼里的“铁娘子”。武汉发现新型肺炎后病人骤增，急诊科下夜班后，严丽还要去支援发热门诊，白天黑夜连轴转。”1月20日，严丽带着丈夫和孩子来到机场。临近登机时她却改变主意，决定重回医院，与同事们一起继续抗击新型肺炎，“去机场的路上心就慌慌的，回到医院内心才平静。”孩子不理解，抱着我哭，说我从来就没有兑现过承诺。严丽说，“不是觉得自己高尚，只觉得一线医护人员紧缺，自己一辈子没当过逃兵。这一次也不能离开。”哪有什么白衣天使，只不过是一群孩子换了身衣服，学着前辈的样子和死神抢人。

Yan Li, she is the "Iron Lady" in the eyes of the emergency department

medical team. After the discovery of new pneumonia in Wuhan, the number of

patients increased dramatically. After the night shift in the emergency

department, Yan Li had to go to the fever clinic to support the fever clinic.

She worked day and night. " On January 20, Yan Li arrived at the airport with

her husband and children. She changed her mind and decided to go back to the

hospital to fight against the new pneumonia with her colleagues The child didnt

understand, hugged me and cried, saying that I had never fulfilled my promise.

Yan Li said, "I dont think Im noble. I just feel that there is a shortage of

front-line medical staff. I havent been a deserter in my life. I cant leave

this time. " There is no angel in white, but a group of children changed their

clothes and learned how to rob people with death.

“苟利国家生死以，岂因祸福避趋之”。防疫战场上医护人员那一张张印着红指印的请战书;新闻里笑容腼腆的女护士朴素的语言：“只要穿上白大褂就不害怕了......”武汉医生与家人隔离，白发老母亲隔门叮嘱时的眼泪;除夕夜，各地医护人员紧急集结赴武汉和家人告别时的拥抱;大年三十返岗生产口罩的工人;《爱是桥梁》，春晚的节目为武汉而改变......

"For the sake of the countrys life and death, do you avoid it because of

misfortunes and blessings?". On the battlefield of epidemic prevention, the

doctors letter of invitation printed with red fingers; the plain language of

the female nurse with a shy smile in the news: "as long as you put on the white

coat, you will not be afraid..." Wuhan doctors are separated from their

families, and the tears of the old mother with white hair when she is told by

the door; on New Years Eve, medical staff from all over the world gather to

Wuhan to say goodbye to their families; those who return to work on the 30th of

the new year to produce masks Workers; love is a bridge, the program of Spring

Festival Gala changes for Wuhan

每当看到电视上那些一身白色“戎装”，战斗在防疫第一线的白衣战士,我就充满虔敬,他们视疫情为敌情,把医院当战场,在没有硝烟的战斗中舍生忘死,以大无畏的精神和钢铁般的意志,谱写了一曲曲光辉壮丽的人生赞歌。

Every time I see those white soldiers in military uniform fighting in the

front line of epidemic prevention on TV, I am full of piety. They regard the

epidemic situation as the enemy, regard the hospital as the battlefield, and

forget to die in the fight without gunpowder smoke. With the spirit of

fearlessness and the will of steel, they compose a glorious and magnificent hymn

of life.

哪有什么岁月静好，不过是有人替你负重前行。只要万众一心，就没有翻不过去的山;只要众志成城，就没有过不去的坎。我们要坚定信心从自身做起。长大之后我们替你们继续前行!武汉加油!

There is no time to be quiet, but someone is carrying the weight for you.

As long as all people are united, there will be no mountains that cannot be

turned over; as long as all people are united, there will be no barriers that

cannot be crossed. We need to be confident and start with ourselves. After

growing up, we will continue to move forward for you! Come on, Wuhan!

请相信待春暖花开之时，我们都可以走上街头，不用口罩，繁华与共，共享春光灿烂!

Please believe that when spring comes, we can all go to the streets,

without masks, and share the bright spring!

转眼间，“五一”劳动节就到来了，我开始想怎么度过这个劳动节，最后，我想了一个好主意，那就是大扫除。

今天中午，就开始了大扫除。

我拿起干抹布擦电视机，因为妈妈对我说过如果不用干抹布擦电视机的话，那电视机就容易坏。还有开关，电脑……等有电的东西都要用干抹布擦。

我还要擦一些家具和玻璃，甚至连门都不放过。我仔仔细细、认认真真地把家里从头到尾、从上到下在用抹布、拖把擦，拖了一遍，抹布上粘满了灰尘。这下可把我累坏了，我满头大汗，上气不接下气。但我一想：“我是要给妈妈一个惊喜的，再说了，大扫除本来就是要卖力的呀，如果我现在就坚持不了，那么刚才干的不就是白费了吗?”做事得有始有终。于是我又开始扫地了。我连角落都不放过，总算扫完了。仔细一想，还有房间忘记扫了，我进去，熟练地拿起扫把，慢慢地扫起来。然后，我装了一桶水，洗了一下拖把，扭干水，开始拖地。我握着沉重的拖把，慢慢地从这边拖到那边。

这次大扫除之后，我知道了：“只要付出了，就会有收获。”

More and more people now show their great interests intraveling, because

traveling can bring us a lot of benefits.

To begin with, having worked hard for a few months, traveling can release

us from high pressure. More importantly, traveling can help us acquire more

knowledge. No matter how many books we have read, there is still plenty of

knowledge for us to learn from traveling, like history, culture, custom, and

geography of the places we visit. By the way, through traveling, we can meet

many new friends and taste different kinds of delicious food.

While some people are not interested in traveling at all, since traveling

will cost a great deal of money on transportation and accommodation, and they

may feel tired after sightseeing as well.

As far as I’m concerned, the advantages of traveling are more than its

disadvantages, so if our time and finance permit, we can travel to some nice

places every year, in order to make our life more colorful and vivid.

It seems we are living in the conflict between modern and traditional

cultures every day. Hearing the blaring of horns the moment you step out of your

house, seeing the so called "pop" the moment you open your eyes, you cant help

thinking, "Will the traditional culture be gradually lost?"

Many people believe so. They may put right in front of you all the

evidences they can dig out. They may argue that people are rushing to

restaurants instead of cooking at home, listening to pop music but not

traditional, wearing in a way people couldnt imagine ten years ago. Modern

people like the air of freedom, not to be restrained by traditions. They offer

this long list, only trying to confirm that this world is full of

fashion,competition and temptation and the traditional culture is fading and

will be lost at last.

Though we are now living in a world in which undeclared aggression, war,

hypocrisy, chicanery, anarchy are part of our daily life. Though this is a

skeptical age, and our faith has weakened, our confidence in some aspects of the

traditional culture should and would never be lost.

Wouldnt you agree that our traditional culture is always credited with

modesty, politeness and respectfulness, which have always been treasured for

more than five thousand years?Even in this modern world, people still admire

those with good manners, those who are polite to others or respectful to old

people.

Wouldnt you agree that our Chinese traditional music is beautiful and

artistic and our Chinese tea culture is always an appealing treasure to people

around the world?

So there may just be some changes in our lifestyle or our attitudes towards

life, but little change occurs to some fundamental aspects of our traditional

culture that people still treasure in heart.

The traditional culture will never be lost, I believe.

Today is Dragon Boat Festival. Dragon Boat Festival is a traditional festival in China. It is also the most solemn and characteristic festival in our local area.

Of course, on the day of Dragon Boat Festival, mothers wear five silk threads to their children, and five silk threads are full of their mothers yearning for their children, hoping that their children will live to the age of 100. My mother gave me the five thread long thread.

In the Dragon Boat Festival, people eat dumplings, in memory of Qu Yuan. More than two thousand years ago, in the early May, five, people stood on the Miluo River and threw food into the river so as not to let the fish and shrimp and other underwater animals eat Qu Yuans body.

After lunch today, my mother took me to the supermarket. My mother bought me a sachet as a gift for the Dragon Boat Festival.

I had a great time today!

Hello! I’m Jessie. I like English very much, because of my English teacher,

Nettie. Today, I’ll introduce her to you.

mine. She is not tall. She is thin. She has the long hair. Her face is round.

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.

With the usual, like the Chinese Lunar New Year, Dragon Boat Festival the

day before at night, so my grandmother will always obediently sat bedside, give

me some holiday rules, such as talking nonsense not to not allowed to eat cold

tzu not allowed with small partnership roughnot allowed to play in the water ...

... I have always been granted to his head. Grandma let me early, so that

tomorrow can have a good spirit.

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.

So I sat eating breakfast table and watched busy grandmother.

The countryside are on both sides of the cooking, while used to boil water

while cooking to cooking and grandmother had already cleaned the duck Add big

pot, wooden ladle scoop from another pot of hot water a few dipper Add cauldron

of water, and then also carefully Add 1 tsp salt, and then Tim foci in a few

branches, it has been sitting next to me started to give my son a series

network.

Grandmother‘s hand because of the long-term labor has rough bark like a

general, but without losing dexterity, an envelope with red string woven into

the sub on.

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.

Grandmother always put me to the gate, asked the want me to come back as

soon as possible to eat tzu. I always fell on the disappeared.

Small partners at this time are almost , and Sisters from the big head next

door, led us to the river this group watch dragon-boat race. Because of the

However, the children will know what look? We are only just a bustling Fig.

Girls in general saw a moment, we found that boring, and sat to one side from

snacks to share, boys, it is not, of their total enjoy chasing the dragon boat

race down the shore, because of the people paddling up the larger, almost every

boys who have significant traces of water splashing.

, and are perhaps a boat to the end of the bar, just things finished, stood

The sun is also slowly climbing the air, the kitchen has a bay leaf

fragrance, and I quickly jumped on the kitchen, the has been the major tzu. In

general, I would put that on the threshold sit tzu eat clean, and occasionally

there will be a few rice grains to eat chicken and watch the greedy big

cock-like, I was also amused ... ...

Today, even though over the Dragon Boat Festival, the mother every year

package tzu, made give my son, even though the mother‘s skill is not less than

the grandmother, but I always feel that what less.

I really miss the Dragon Boat Festival childhood ah!

I will be a middle school student soon. when I look back on my pass days, I

find myself don’t make a difference, I play most of the time and don’t focus on

my study. Now I make up my mind. In the future days, I must study with all my

heart and learn as more as possible. So that I can store something for the

future.

In the past few decades, our Earth has changed a lot, but to the bad

direction. Among these changes, the air pollutions resulting from a huge number

of automobiles and coal-burning is almost the severest. The severe air pollution

alarms humans of the heavy load we have exerted on Earth by our insatiable

production and usage of automobiles. However, with the deepening of

urbanization, more cars are needed, which will make the air pollution worse.

Therefore, the following actions should be taken. First, we should apply the

most cutting-edge technologies in order to adopt new forms of energy as

substitutes for fossil fuels. Second, try hard to develop possible

transportation means, which are enviromental friendly. So that the citizens can

reduce the dependence on cars. In short, our humans should take responsibilities

for the air pollution and have to find ways to solve this problem.

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.

Dear Customer Service Representative,

I am writing to comp[ain about the bad delivery service of your

company.

The IBM Desktop computer we ordered from your store two weeks ago finally

arrived yesterday. There were not any signs of damage to the packing case at

all, but when we opened it, we found, much to our surprise, that the back cover

had been cracked and the screen had been scratched.

In view of this, I have decided to make a formal complaint against your

delivery service. I sincerely hope that you will replace this computer as soon

as possible. If this is not possible, I will have no alternative but to insist

on a full refund.

I would appreciate anything you can do to help us in this matter.

Yours truly,

(Signature)

Courage is very important. Everyone needs it. We will meet many

difficulties in our life and sometimes we will fail, but we can’t lose courage.

If we lose courage, we can’t do anything, because we don’t dare to do anything;

we are afraid of failure. This is my Chinese teacher me in the first class. I

agree with him. For example, we don’t have the courage to hands up to say our

answer, how can we know we are right or wrong. I will remember his word

forever,” never lose courage .”

When I got settled, the total use of the microwave to do their own things

to eat. One day, my father saw me, I am afraid to say that I grew up as a cook.

I immediately shaken like a rattle-drum head, you said : "That is not my ideal.

When I grow up I want to IT (information technology) industries. "Yes, I bought

a computer five years ago after his father, I am familiar with it day by day.

Until last year, and I have formed a deep bond with it. From then on, I want

success in the information technology industry to make contributions to the

cause of national computer. But my father said I could only do in the field

"testing the game," is what the new game, and always let me play with, the

report there will be any games. I think what he said is not their fault, I

always play games recently, those who do not have a veteran like Flash. In

recent days, I sprouted out of a bad idea : I will be playing the game that the

network server to the black. My account will revise the highest level. However,

I Xiangliaoyouxiang, this is wrong, but was caught by the police network is not

good. When hackers but also need high computer skills. As a member of the IT

industry is my ideal, I would like to advance this goal, to improve their

computer skills

当我闲得没事时，就总自己用微波炉做点东西吃。一天，爸爸看见我这样，说我长大恐怕是要当厨师了。我立刻把头摇得像拨浪鼓似的，说：“那不是我的理想，我长大想做IT(信息技术)行业。”

没错，自从五年前爸爸给我买来电脑后，我就一天天地熟悉它。到了去年，我已经和它结下了不解之缘。从那时候开始，我就想要在信息技术行业取得成就，为国家计算机事业做出贡献。

可是爸爸说我在这个行业中只能做“游戏测试员”，就是什么游戏新出来，总是先让我玩玩，报告游戏中有什么错误。我觉得他说的没有错，我最近一段时间老是玩游戏，那些FLASH之类的老也不用了。

最近几天，我萌生出了一个不好的想法：将我玩的那个网络游戏的服务器给黑了，将我的账号修改成最高级别。可是，我想了又想，这样做是不对的，而且被警察抓到也是不好的。而且当黑客也需要很高的电脑技术的。

成为IT行业的一员是我的理想，所以我要向这个目标前进，提高自己的电脑技术.

Waking up on New Year, everybody dresses up. First they extend greetings to

their parents. Then each child will get money as a New Year gift, wrapped up in

red paper. People in northern China will eat jiaozi, or dumplings, for

breakfast, as they think "jiaozi" in sound means "bidding farewell to the old

and ushering in the new". Also, the shape of the dumpling is like gold ingot

from ancient China. So people eat them and wish for money and treasure.

Southern Chinese eat niangao (New Year cake made of glutinous rice flour)

on this occasion, because as a homophone, niangao means "higher and higher, one

year after another." The first five days after the Spring Festival are a good

time for relatives, friends, and classmates as well as colleagues to exchange

greetings, gifts and chat leisurely.

China has 56 ethnic groups. Minorities celebrate their Spring Festival

almost the same day as the Han people, and they have different customs.
