What impresses me most in Beijing is the Great Wall which is one of the

greatest projects in the world.

Its not only the cultural heritage, but also a symbol of China. "Its

glorious." I think. It looks like a big dragon running across the mountainous

area. It starts Shanhaiguan in the east to Jiayuguan in the west.Its so long that nobody can walk from the beginning to the end.It was firstly built in Qin Dynasty and prolonged in Ming and Qing

dynasties.It was used to protect the enemies from invading in the past, but now it

has become the place of interest which attracts so many tourists both at home

and abroad.

When I was standing on the top of the Great Wall, I felt as if I were in

ancient days.

I could see many laborers working very hard. How could they finish this

extremely difficult task by hand?

曾经，当我还是默默无闻的中等生时，我是多么渴望友谊，因为有了朋友，我就有了倾诉的对象，就会有人与我一同分担，可没有，没有人在意我。我于是便在堕落的边缘徘徊。但那一次，升学考出乎意料的优秀，使我拼了命的向前，因为我要为升学考负责，我要做出一番成绩。于是，便有了如今的我。如今的我，终于实现了当初的愿望，终于有了梦寐以求的朋友，终于不再孤单，也终于找到了曾经陌生的两个字眼，友谊。在经历了风风雨雨，我再回头的某一瞬间，才发现友谊离我的距离是零;朋友，正与我手牵着手……

Once, when I was still unknown to the public of the students, how I longed for friendship, because friends, I have to talk to the object, will have to share, and I can not, no one cares about me. I then in the fall around the edge. But at that time, the entrance exam exceeding ones expectations outstanding, make my life forward, because I want to be responsible for the entrance exam, I want to make a mark. Thus, there is a person I am today. Now of I, finally realized the original desire, finally had a dream of friends, finally no longer alone, finally found the two words have strange, friendship. After a moment of groundless talk, I looked back, only to find friendship from my distance is zero; friends, with my hands......

过去的经历锻炼了我，是我能真正地重视友谊，也害怕着有一天，我退步了，朋友也成了敷衍自己的工具，想到这，我又只能发疯似的往前冲，绝不能让友谊转瞬即逝!没想到，我会为了友谊付出一切，没想到。

The past I exercise, I can really pay attention to friendship, is also afraid that one day, my friend has become worse, with their own tools, come to think of it, I was crazy to go forward, never let the friendship fleeting! Unexpectedly, I will give everything to friendship, did not think of.

These years, Internet is becoming more and more important for people. Many students like making friends on the Internet.

However, every coin has two sides. On the one hand, you may meet a good person and he or she can talk and play with you. And he or she may even help you deal with some problems in your life. But on the other hand, our students are really too young, we can not protect ourselves at all!

So I think you’d better make friends in the real world.

The Spring Festival is a Chinese festival. It has a long history and splendid culture. And the Spring Festival many small rules superstition is that the man.

Everyone should know the Spring Festival is one of important thing is - is available. You dont look down upon this thing it is to have cultured. Able to use fruit cannot careless, for example, not all fruits are fit to worship ancestors and gods. To choose a good fruit. Such as: apple, go in peace, oranges, kumquat oh, oranges - horse. Like a pear, can not as a tribute because there are some who think the pear and "from" are homophones ghost word. So is not popular. There is a banana -. So some fruit can not be available.

Fruit is only part of the tribute and dumplings as a tribute must put cant alone in pairs. Put the sugar when it as a tribute for hard candy cant fudge. Because such sweet hard enough will not spread.

Able to have the red candle, touch paper, incense, and so on, but the most important thing is that touch paper, touch paper had been pressed to be real money to burn, and the head of the press, which may be felt more sincere.

Whether these are real or fake, but at least be ancestors had relished the reason why there must be it. The little common sense in the hope that the Spring Festival can let more after 80, 90 after they know the Spring Festival in our Chinese mind how important. If no taboo Spring Festival also means there is no so many people pay attention to it. Rules more can reflect the significance of the Spring Festival.

春节是中国人的重大节日。它有着悠久的历史和灿烂的文化底蕴。而春节的许多小规矩小迷信也那么那人探寻。

大家都应该知道春节很重要的一件事情就是——上供。大家可别小看了这件事情这可是有讲究的。例如，上供用的水果不能马虎，不是所有的水果都适合去供奉祖先和神灵的。要选着寓意好的水果。例如：苹果——平平安安，桔子——金桔满堂，橙子——心想事成。像梨，就不可以作为贡品因为有一部分人认为梨和“离”是同音别字。所以不受大家欢迎。还有就是香蕉——焦头烂额。所以有些水果不能上供。

水果只是一部分贡品还有就是饺子作为贡品一定要成双成对的放不能落单。把糖作为贡品上供的时候要放硬糖不能放软糖。因为这样的甜蜜够硬不会散。

上供还要有红烛，火纸，佛香等等，不过最重要的是火纸，火纸要被真钱压过才可以烧，而且要一家之主压，这可能是觉得更加真诚吧。

不管这些是真是假，但至少被老祖宗们津津乐道就一定有它的原因。希望这些春节中的小常识可以让更多的80后，90后们知道春节在我们中国人心目中有多么的举足轻重。如果春节没有任何禁忌那么也就代表没有那么多人关注它。规矩越多越能体现春节的重大意义。

Table manners in China Different country have different table manners.The western country is different from eastern country,such as China and France.In China,old people eat first.We aren’t supposed to talk aloud while we are eating.If you don’t want to eat next,you are supposed to say:" I’m full."

Because doing housework can let our parents feel relaxed. At the same time, doing housework can train us to be more useful.” I think we should do some housework. Doing housework can improve ourselves. But I also think students’ major job is studying. Doing too much housework is bad for our study. So, I think doing housework is good, but at the same time we should pay more attenion to our study. Right?

Qingming rain have, the pedestrian on the road." Another Qingming Festival has arrived. In the morning, when our family got up early, they went to Beishan to pay for the old lady. In the year when Lao Tai died, we all missed her old man. The old mans life is full of hardships and tiredness. The old man died early. The old woman used her weak shoulders to stir up the burden on her family, and she brought up her grandmother and uncle by herself.

In every young generations mind, Lao Tai represents hardworking, brave and kindhearted. I remember once, when our family just had dinner, the old lady raised her sleeves and stretched out her bare hands and exposed hands to wash dishes for us. I asked, "old man, why is your hand so ugly?" grandma heard to me: "children, we can grow up, we can go to school and be educated, all by the old mans hands to wash clothes for others to earn money." After hearing this from grandma, I hung my head from guilt. The old lady said, "when you catch up with the good times, we must cherish and study well, and become a useful person for the future." In my memory, no matter when, old woman wearing clothes are washed clean, please tell them. Wearing a neat, spiritual God.

I will always remember that old lady often visited her before she died. She was lying in bed weakly. Her eyes had lost their former beauty. But I can feel her sadness and bring to us on several good expectations from his old eyes.

Before the tomb of Lao Tai, we lifted the weeds, planted the soil and placed flowers on them. I also sprinkled the old ladys favorite wine around the grave.

I stood in front of Lao Tais grave and said softly, "old lady, are you okay in heaven?"
