One story about Jack,an Irishman,who was not allowed into Heaven because he was stingy with his money.So he was sent to hell.But down there he played tricks on the Devil (Satan),so he was kicked out of Hell and made to walk the earth forever carrying a lantern.

Well,Irish children made Jacks lanterns on October 31st from a large potato or turnip,hollowed out with the sides having holes and lit by little candles inside.And Irish children would carry them as they went from house to house begging for food for the village Halloween festival that honored the Druid god Muck Olla.The Irish name for these lanterns was "Jack with the lantern" or "Jack of the lantern," abbreviated as " Jack-o-lantern" and now spelled "jack-o-lantern."

The traditional Halloween you can read about in most books was just childrens fun night.Halloween celebrations would start in October in every elementary school.

关于万圣节有这样一个故事.是说有一个叫杰克的爱尔兰人,因为他对钱特别的吝啬,就不允许他进入天堂,而被打入地狱.但是在那里他老是捉弄魔鬼撒旦,所以被踢出地狱,罚他提着灯笼永远在人世里行走.

在十月三十一日爱尔兰的孩子们用土豆和萝卜制作“杰克的灯笼”,他们把中间挖掉、表面上打洞并在里边点上蜡烛.为村里庆祝督伊德神的万圣节,孩子们提着这种灯笼挨家挨户乞讨食物.这种灯笼的爱尔兰名字是“拿灯笼的杰克”或者“杰克的灯笼”,缩写为Jack-o-lantern .

现在你在大多数书里读到的万圣节只是孩子们开心的夜晚.

Recently, our efforts to protect wild animals was questioned by the public,

because the news is keep reporting that more and more wild animals was killed by

human beings, especially the very precious one. Innocent animals was dead for

their meat, fur and tooth, it was just used to fill up human beings desire. In

my point of view, the wild animals were protected effectively still has a long

way to go.

Firstly, people should try harder to make a better place for animals. The

land where the wild animals live was deprived by human being. For hundreds

years, people cut the trees to make land for their living and farming, wild

animals homeland was took, they have no choice but run away. What is more,

human beings break the food link in nature; wild animals can not find enough

food to keep alive. There is no doubt that the destruction of nature has become

a big problem to kill wild animal, for instance, a polar bear was starved to

death because of the greenhouse effect, the ice was melt away, the seadog and

fish that polar bear like to eat are far away from them. For those reasons,

people should protect the environment first if they want to protect wild animals

effectively.

Second, no buying, no killing. Some rich people like to wear fur coat, they

treat it as a status symbol, especially for rich woman, they think animal fur is

beautiful and warm, they will never consider that the fur they wear for years is

the skin that animal wear for their whole life, and they knew how bloody when

people took the fur from animal but they choose to ignore it. If people do not

buy the fur and tooth, lots of wild animals will be survived.

In sum, wild animals are our friends, we should give back and protect their

homeland, and stop buying their body part, or our future generations will see

them in zoo and museum.

In recent years ninny cities are faced with the problem of heavy traffic.

People have to waste more time on their way home or to work and even might be

involved in an acci dent. With the development of industry and population

expansion, this problem becomes more and more serious.

One solution is to lay down more roads. The solution has many advantages.

For ex ample, it can efficiently decrease the number of buses and trucks in many

main streets. But it will take up so much land that crowded cities become more

crowded. Another solu tion is to open up more bus lines. If more bus lines

should be opened up,the number of bicles and cars in the main streets would be

greatly decreased. But the disadvantage of this solution is that many people

wouldn’t feel so convenient os they used to.

In my opinion, the right solution to the problem is the combination of the

two, thatis, to lay down more roads in spacious areas and to open up more bus

lines in downtown.

2020年的春节，在所有中国人的心里，注定是一个永生难忘的记忆。新型冠状病毒的肆虐，让辞旧迎新的钟声更加沉重，人们脸上的那一个个口罩，让这个春节倍感冷清。

The Spring Festival in 2020, in the hearts of all Chinese people, is

destined to be a memorable memory forever. The novel coronaviruss raging force

makes the bell ring for the old and new year more heavy, and the mask on

peoples faces makes the Spring Festival feel cold.

这个冬天，梅花依然宁静地开放;这个冬天，蓝天依旧明净如洗;这个冬天的武汉却非常艰难，全国人民却非常艰难。在这特殊的日子里，我们谨遵医嘱，静静地待在家中。我们为武汉忧心忡忡，我们为治愈病例的增多而感到高兴，为武汉的人们牵肠挂肚。

This winter, the plum blossom is still quietly open; this winter, the blue

sky is still bright and clean; this winter, Wuhan is very difficult, but the

people of the whole country are very difficult. On this special day, we would

like to follow the doctor s advice and stay at home quietly. We are worried

about Wuhan, we are happy with the increase of cured cases, and we are worried

about people in Wuhan.

与此同时，有一群人，他们正冲在前方，用自己的平凡之躯为身后的亿万中国人筑起防护的堡垒,他们舍小家为大家，不眠不休，战斗在这场没有硝烟的战场上的最前沿。他们是来自全国各地的最美逆行者，他们是新时代的最美先锋人物，他们是可亲可敬的白衣天使。

At the same time, there are a group of people, they are rushing forward,

using their ordinary bodies to build a fortress for the hundreds of millions of

Chinese people behind them. They leave their small homes for everyone,

sleepless, fighting in the forefront of this battlefield without smoke of

gunpowder. They are the most beautiful rebels from all over the country. They

are the most beautiful pioneers in the new era. They are amiable and respectable

angels in white.

在这群人当中，有一位84岁的老院士，叫钟南山，17年前，这位老院士奋斗在抗非的最前线上，为抗击非典立下了汗马功劳。17年后的今天他临危受命，搭上前往武汉的高铁，再次前往抗击疫情的前线;86岁的董宗祁老教授，他坐在轮椅上，一上午看了30多个病人，他说：“我这辈子，就是为了救人”;73岁的李兰娟教授，知道国家有难，她毫不犹豫前往武汉，坚定地说出她的誓言：“我打算长期待在武汉，与那边的医护人员一起奋斗!”

Among these people, there is an 84 year old academician named Zhong

Nanshan. 17 years ago, the old academician fought in the forefront of anti

Africa and made great contributions to the fight against SARS. 17 years later,

he was ordered to take the high-speed railway to Wuhan and go to the front line

of fighting the epidemic again. Professor Dong zongqi, 86, sat in a wheelchair

and saw more than 30 patients in the morning. He said, "my life is to save

people"; Professor Li Lanjuan, 73, knew that the country was in trouble. She did

not hesitate to go to Wuhan and firmly said her oath: "I intend to stay in Wuhan

for a long time and fight with the medical staff there!"

这世上哪有什么岁月静好，只是因为有人在替我们负重前行罢了，这世上哪有什么天生的英雄，只有因为人们需要，才有人愿意牺牲自己成为英雄。

There is no time in this world that is quiet, just because someone is

carrying the weight for us. There is no natural hero in this world. Only because

people need, can someone be willing to sacrifice themselves to become a

hero.

虽然我不知道他们是谁，但我明白他们是为了谁。他们也许并不富裕，甚至有些贫穷;他们也许并不高大，甚至有些瘦弱;他们也许并不光鲜，甚至有点卑微，他们的形象在我心中是那样模糊，但他们的精神在我心中却是那样鲜明;不计生死，不求回报，默默坚守的他们，守护着健康，保卫着生命。

Although I dont know who they are, I know who they are for. They may not

be rich, or even poor; they may not be tall, or even thin; they may not be

bright, or even a little humble, their image in my heart is so fuzzy, but their

spirit in my heart is so bright; regardless of life and death, do not ask for

return, they stick to silently, guard health, protect life.

普通的我们无法到达正面战场与病毒作战，我们只能做好我们的后勤工作，不出门，少出门，勤洗手，戴口罩，这是为了不给他们添麻烦，祝愿他们平安早日凯旋。

Ordinary we cant reach the front battlefield to fight against the virus.

We can only do our logistical work well, not going out, not going out, washing

hands frequently, wearing masks, so as not to give them trouble, and wish them a

safe and early victory.

彩虹为证，千古不变，我要高歌。为生命喜悦，万物都歌颂你的慈爱，大地诉说你的恩情。

Rainbow as evidence, eternal, I want to sing. For the joy of life, all

things sing of your love, and the earth speaks of your kindness.

致敬白衣天使!

Salute the angel in white!

致敬最美逆行者!

Salute the most beautiful rebel!

致敬抗击疫情的每一个人!

Pay homage to everyone fighting the epidemic!

A good book not only brings happiness to people, but also comforts; it can

not only make you think deeply, but also enlighten you. A good book is a wise

man, a mentor, a friend, and a partner. My favorite thing is reading.

books also bring me much joy. I remember one time, my mother bought me

"Insects", the book records many insects and their habits. I couldnt put it

down, and when I got home, I picked up the book and read it with interest. When

I read the firefly insect, a beautiful scene immediately appeared in my mind: On

a summer night, I was walking in the park, and at this time, many fireflies were

flying around me. Illuminate the way forward... The more I think about it, the

more excited I am, and I read it more seriously. When I read about ants, an

insect, I couldnt help but be shocked by its unity. Together, ants can move

things that are several times heavier than them. I also feel that we must learn

from the spirit of ants. Reading and reading, I forgot the time. It wasnt until

my mother came to ask me to eat, I reluctantly put down the book and swallowed a

spit, as if swallowing wisdom into my stomach, my heart was still in the

colorful world of insects.

Gorky once said: "I am on books, like hungry people are on bread." Food

feeds only our bodies, and books feed our souls. Books can increase our

knowledge, broaden our horizons, and improve our writing skills; they can bring

us inspiration and happiness. "When the book is used, we hate less", so I think

we need to read more and read more books to make our achievements bloom like

sesame seeds.

On May 12, 2008, there was an earthquake happened in Wenchuan, Sichuan

province. More than 69000 people had lost their lives, 374643 people had injured

and 17923 people could not be found in this earthquake. After the earthquake had

happened, people from all the field joined the rescue teams. At that moment,

people only care about one thing, that was to save more people from this

disaster and encourage the injure to be strong. After seven day, the chairman

declared that May 19 is the national day of mourning. Flags were at half-mast

everywhere on the day of mourning for victims of Wenchuan earthquake.

The mourning day is to remember the people who lost their lives in the

earthquake, on one hand, is to remind people do not forget that day, don’t

forget about the past and look into the future; on the other hand, is to

encourage the survivers to stay strong. Life is worth living for.

Although Earthquake had destroyed our home, but we can build a brand-new

one. We can rebuild our hope. Just as Nixon said so, our destiny offers not the

cup of despair, but the chalice of opportunity. So let us seize it, not in fear,

but in gladness. Just have a little faith. Just try to remember that everything

will be alright. We will find what we are looking for in the future.

The annual teachers will come, I prepared many words to say to the teacher.

Dear teacher, I want to say to you, thank you, teacher! Are you give us knowledge, teach us, let us to accept the edification of the communist party. We grew up, and your hair is increased, you are on the whole blood upon us, why cant I thank you?

The Great Wall of China is called the "Ten thousand Ii Great Wall" in

Chinese. In fact, it s more than 6 000 kilometres long. It winds its way from

west to east, across deserts, over mountains, through valleys till at last it

reaches the sea.It is one of the wonders of the world.The Great Wall has a history of over twenty centuries. The first part of it

was built during the Spring and Autumn Period.

During the Warring States Period, more walls were put up to defend the

borders of the different kingdoms.It was during the Qin Dynasty that the kingdom of Qin united the dif ferent

parts into one empire.

To keep the enemy out of his empire, Emperor Qin Shi Huang had all the

walls joined up. Thus, the Great Wall came into being.The Great Wall is wide enough at the top for five horses or ten men to walk

side by side.Along the wall are watchtowers, where soldiers used to keep watch.Fires were lit on the the towers as a warning when the enemy came.It was very difficult to build such a wall in the ancient days without any

modern machines.

All the work was done by hand. Thousands of men died and were buried under

the wall they built. The Great Wall was made not only of stone and earth, but of

the flesh and blood of millions of men.

Today the Great Wall has become a place of interest not only to the Chinese

but to people from all over the world. Many of them have come to know the famous

Chinese saying: "He who does not reach the Great Wall is not a true man."

I always dream about returning to the past. As many people say, childhood

is the happiest and easiest time in one’s life. Children show you their true

emotions.

They know what is compassion and what is tolerance better than adults.

In their world, all real thoughts are presented.

They may easily have different opinions with others, but they never

understand what is animosity.

They enjoy making friends but they never think about making social

communication net. Every child talks from the bottom of his heart without evil

plans hidden and never intrigues against each other.

Only in children’s way can adults make our life simple, more real and more

enjoyable.

I wish everyone’s heart would keep as innocent and lovely as they ever did

in their childhood. Then, the walls between our hearts can be broken down and

the world would be a better place to live in.

China has a history of more than 5,000 years and many miracles were

created. The Great Wall is the most famous to foreigners. Many of them come to

Beijing and have a look at this great tourist sites. As the damage from

environment and human beings, this great wonder needs us to protect. So it is

important to be a polite tourist.

Since I go to middle school, I have to learn many subjects. Though I am not

the best student in class, but I won’t give up. I always tell myself to work

hard, because if I want to compete with other students, I need to make great

effort. People are easy to deny themselves when they face difficulty. If they

fail one time, then they will doubt the effort they have made. Actually, we are

not studying in vain. What we learn will be a great help to improve ourselves.

The thing we learn decides what kinds of person we are. So don’t deny yourself,

as you will see the value you have stored before in the future.

Healthy eating habits are very important for our health. We should build

healthy eating habits. We should eat fresh vegetables and fruits everyday.They

supply rich and the necessary vitamins for us. We also should eat less meat

everday.And we had better drink a glass of milk in the morning or at night.

Besides, we should focus on abalanced diet, which assures us the necessary

nutritions. Junk food is a fatal killer for our health so that we should stay

far from them. It is said that most of students do not eat anything at all in

the morning. It is very bad for our health. Breakfast is the most important meal

for people.

Should students go on further study or find a job after leaving high

school?

Time spent in campus is not always treated with gracious look, but some

parents may choose other ways for the longevity of their childrens

post-high-school period, namely, find the adolescents a job, rather than sending

them to a college. I can find myself against this act for a thousand reasons,

amongst which we can figure some strongest ones as follows:

My first con against this behavior is that education is not just a benefit

but also ones rights. Without education , as Gorge Orwell had once said ,is to

be deprived of the most precious privilege in our time as a modern man. With

college education , youngsters can choose a better way of doing thing correctly

and more efficiently. The sharp contrast between those who have received well

education and those without is not just financially, but more vitally,

spiritually.

Admittedly, we can find cases of some one achieves without college

education, but these cases are famous only because they are rare. Those people

who succeed with a college degree are so many that this would seem to be a must

and a natural part of elites. The absence of university education is hard to

imagine in our days. The prospect of those juvenile workers or businessmen would

be even dimmer than ever before .For in our age, knowledge is not only the

power, but also the know-how to solving problems and gaining a much larger

fortune.

If the most beautiful season of the year is spring, for me, the most

interesting festival of the year is the new years Eve! On that day, we should

not only eat family reunion dinner, but also staying-up late on new years

eve.

Remember that the day to eat reunion dinner, people began to play cards,

chat, play mahjong, our children, began playing the fun of firecrackers, there

are all kinds of varieties, "this" and "Scud", "delta ray" and so on, we played

awfully.

I also went to the house to see from time to time and funny TV comic sketch

"Spring Festival Gala" performance, I and my buddy will laugh and laugh, see

magic in those big magician performing magic show, we were amazed.

Time flies, blink of an eye to 11:45, suddenly rang out a loud bursts of

firecrackers, we are e--cited to join them, just open the door, I saw the

fireworks are riotous with colour dark sky dancers.

At 11:50, we cant wait to just wrapped dumplings into the boiling water,

mom and dad put a cover on the pot, cook for a while, 12 oclock, finally boil

the dumplings, grandma and grandpa a sung, I smell from afar dumplings

fragrance, went straight to the kitchen, when the taste delicious dumplings,

happy in the heart.

One year spent similar, each year is different, when the new years Eve, it

means spring is coming, the new year has begun!

In my mind, everyone shall have his own dream. I think that having a dream

means that we have an idea, and then we will do all the things to achieve the

target. As long as we have a goal to be realized, we won’t be blind at

least.

My dream is to become a successful stateman, helping those people who need

help with their rights. Of course, to be a good stateman is very difficult, but

I will do whatever I can do to keep everyone satisfied. Thats my dream. I want

to try my best to help the poor sick people of our country. China is a

developing country which needs good stateman,especially in the countryside and

distant villages.

Now I’m a junior student on Grade One, My dream is also that although at

present I’m good at study, I’ll still try my best to be the study winner. Now

everything I do is close to my dream. I feel life is fill with hope and is

colorful, and I have enough confidence to realize my dream.

These are lots of books in our daily life. Some are about history, some are

novels, and some are even about the dream in the future. I think its useful to

read stories, because it can be used sometimes. Once, there was a very difficult

question in an important history exam history, which wasnt mentioned in our

history books, even our teacher has never told us about it. But I remembered

clearly that I had read it in a history story, so I answered the question

without difficulty and became the only student in our class who answered the

question correctly. In my view, its useful to read stories.

dear dick,

how time flies! i’m very glad to hear from you again. you want to know what is going on in schools in china? in a word, everything has changed. every school takes part in the campaign of reducing learning load. in the past, i used to study until 11:30 on weekends. but now i can arrange things on my own, such as reading books, visiting museums, or taking computer lessons in my weekend days. in the evening i can watch news on tv or read newspapers. what’s more, my parents support me. they said although i was a student, i didn’t have to work all day long. i think the idea of reducing learning load is well accepted by everyone.

best wishes,

yours,

li hua

As it is known to us, Ping An was chosen to perform on the CCTV Spring

Festival Gala with his melodious and strong voice. Also, he had a great

achievement on this dream stage. Although he hadnt gain the popularity among

the audience at the beginning, he always kept his dream in mind and never gave

it up. It is his success that brings home to me the power of dream.

A life without a dream is a life without a sun. Therefore, in no

circumstances can we give up our dream. Unquestionably, dreams are of great

importance. For one thing, a person having a dream will be considered to be more

responsible and unswerving. For another, in pursuit of our dream, there is a

chance that good habits and positive attitudes can be formed, contributing to

our success.

As for our students, what we should do is to choose a healthy seed and

plant it on fertilized soil. Firstly, knowledge is the foundation of dream

realization, so we should spend much time in study to enrich ourselves.

Secondly, it also takes perseverance and confidence if we want to realize our

dreams. Last but not least, we should not be craven and timorous but brave when

we meeting obstacles.

Last Qingming Festival,I return home to worship my grandfather.Qingming

Festival is a folk Festival.In the past,In the past, the Qingming Festival was

called "Arbor Day". But Today, Chinese visit their family graves to tend to any

underbrush that has grown. Weeds are pulled, and dirt swept away, and the family

will set out offerings of food and spirit money. Unlike the sacrifices at a

familys home altar, the offerings at the tomb usually consist of dry, bland

food. One theory is that since any number of ghosts rome around a grave area,

the less appealing food will be consumed by the ancestors, and not be plundered

by strangers.

With the passing of time, this celebration of life became a day to the

honor past ancestors. Following folk religion, the Chinese believed that the

spirits of deceased ancestors looked after the family. Sacrifices of food and

spirit money could keep them happy, and the family would prosper through good

harvests and more children.

OnFriendshipEveryone needs friendship. No one can sail the ocean of life

single handed. We need help from, and also give help to, others. In the modern

age, people attach more importance to relations and connections. A man of

charisma has many friends. His power lies in his ability to give.The term,

friend, covers a wide range of raeanings. It can be a nodding acquaintance, a

comrade, a confident, a partner, a playmate, a brother, an intimate etc.As life

is full of strife and conflict, we need friends to support and help as out of

difficulties. Our frinods give us warnings against danger. True friends share

not only joy but, more often than not, they share sorrow.With friendship, life

is happy and harmonious. Without friendship, life is hostile and unfortunate. I

have friends in the rank and file. Some are rich and in power. Some are low and

common. Some are like myself, working as a teacher, reading and writing and

content with the simple life we have. To many of my friends, I know what to

treasure, what to tolerate and what to share, I will never forget my old friends

and keep making new friends. I will not he cold and indifferent to the poor

friends and will show concern for them, even if it is only a comforting

word。

Since I was very small, my parents sent me to learn painting. They thought

I could understand art and mastered one skill. This experience brings me the

sense of art. I have my own understanding of it.

On the one hand, art is an important way to express peoples opinion. When

we see the pictures, the difference between classical and ordinary paintings

lies in the thoughts. The famous artists implant their ideas in the pictures,

which are admitted by the public, so the value of arts can be seen. Some famous

artists expressed their unique opinion and gives arts great meaning.

On the other hand, art is not only from works, but also from life. For

example, my mother cooks the delicious food. Everybody speaks highly of her. So

her food brings people great happiness, which makes the food an art for me.

Whats more, my friends is good at communicating. The way she talks can convince

other easily, so I call the way she communicates as an art.

In all, for me, art is around. It brings people a way to see the world or

makes our life wonderful.
