Dear New Year: Hello! This is the first time for the small cabinet in the public number to write a more alternative push, but it is very meaningful, it will record every day of the journey of the heart. I often tell myself that every day is worth living. Dou Handle turned southeast northwest, the four seasons and a reincarnation, such as a flash of time, the New Year you came to our side. New Years day, people often to the future time to place good wishes, pray to ring out the old and welcome the new, the day over better. In the heart of the pavilion, the New Year is a symbol of footprints - through the spring, summer, autumn and winter, but always harbor the courage to change. In fact, I have always liked the atmosphere of the New Year, no matter how far we go, go around or back to my hometown, like the sun, the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. The New Year you walk through the people mountain people sea, walked the sun and the moon mountains and rivers, in the arrival of the spring time to bring the best wishes. You tell us all the time, their happiness and happy things to hide in the heart, as fireworks bloom and bloom, let the reunion in the heart of the warm to disperse the winter. Looking at your figure, listening to your blessing, I suddenly feel every hug with you is a kind of happiness, because every year you always come as expected. Everywhere you go, the sun shines. Where you point, the stars shine. The ancients often said: "a years plan begins with spring. In the New Year, your "new", new in us spend a full year, and full of hope for the next year, so that the unknown life more hope and expectation. You let us realize that each New Year is a world of bath wash, wash our past regrets, wash our pure heart, so that each person more a side of the vast "heart". But I know that each time you come, bring us a new feeling and experience! We had a special and unforgettable Spring Festival this year. At the very beginning, there was an outbreak of pneumonia across China. People were uneasy about every day, as if the New Year had lost its flavor. On the Internet, looking at pictures of empty streets and scenes of hospitals full of people, I saw that everyones eyes were full of the desire to survive, the kind of expectation that they would not give up in the difficult situation. In ordinary life, people always say "the world is not worth it", but in a crisis, it is "to live is to be happy". It made me see what happiness is. Happiness is when you are in good health and I try my best to live each day well. People are not no pursuit, but excessive desire will make people live uncomfortable. No matter what happens, you will always be able to give us hope in the New Year, give everyone the motivation to make a difference, and dispel the clouds of fear that hang over our hearts. You have come to us in the New Year with hope and with the pomp of spring. You gave everyone a beautiful wish to think: the day of spring flowers, flowers flourish, warbler, all things born spring garden. We live in a world of peace and prosperity, where everyone has the opportunity to pursue their dreams. Because of this desire, many people for their own homes, go to the front line, to protect the people behind them. Its not that theyre not afraid of the unknown. Its that they feel its worth it to protect everything. The New Year you bring us hope, one is connected to cherish, one is connected to change, one is connected to the unknown, one is connected to the star. This New Year, I firmly believe that everyone will cherish the future life, cherish the people around more. May we meet every year

In China, the number of college students increases every year, as more and

more students get the college education, college students are under great

pressure. We hear from the news that a lot of students can’t find jobs after

graduation, then the next year, the other students gets graduating, the two

years’ students compete for the jobs! I just can’t imagine such situation. The

pressure from college students is getting greater, they should relieve it now

and then, because too much pressure will bring bad effect, some may distort

their minds, once their emotion can’t relieve in time, some tragical things may

happen. It is said that some students suicide themselves because they have much

pressure. Everybody will have pressure, but we must know that pressure brings

motivation, at the same time, it also brings burden, we have to balance it. When

we deal with it well, we can live a better life.

As is known to us all, the most precious thing in the world is nothing but

“today”. Therefore, it is necessary and significant for us to manage our time

efficiently. There are some suggestions and methods to manage our time.

First, the most important thing is to know and understand how we have spent

and managed our time before. Only in this way can we know in which we have

wasted our time. We can do this by sorting out all things we do every day and

then select the necessary thing and the wasted time.

Second, after the first step, what we should do is choosing the correct

time. As the saying goes, “to choose time is to save time”. For one thing, we

have to know and understand that which period we have more efficiency and have

better quality in work or study so that we know how to make our schedule. For

another, it is better to do the most important and urgent thing first in that we

barely have enough time to finish all task within a day.

Last but not the least, it is valuable to take full advantage of our

leisure time tiny pieces of time. For example, we can do some reading when we

are waiting for a bus, or we can practice our listening on our way to

school.

To sum up, time, like water in sponge, can be squeezed out if we like.

Therefore, take full use of our time in that it is essential to lead a full and

happy life.

I often imagine what my life will be like in the future. I think my life will be very different in ten years. I will be twenty-eight years old by then. I will have my own family. Probably with a lovely child. I hope I will work in a computer company as a program designer. I will enjoy my work and get along well with my colleagues, I will do a good job in whatever I do. In my free time, I will continue to take regular exercise, such as swimming, running and various ball games. On my holidays, I will travel around the world. In a word, my life will be much richer and more colorful.

有了你，我的生活有趣多了，幸福多了。

你每次出去玩都会找到我，笑着问：“臧媛媛跟我们出去玩不?我请你吃东西。”每次我都愉快的答应。虽说是她请我，但我还是会带上十来块。

你每次回来都会给我带上一两个吃的。记得有一次我正在房间里写作业，你突然走了进来，把手中的饮料瓶对准我说：“臧媛媛你要喝不?”我表面上看起来非常平静，内心却掀起一波又一浪。我转着手中的钢笔问：“今天怎么想起给我带吃的了?”你侧着脸对我说：“我不一直都这样吗?”我故作惊讶地说：“咦——”你似乎有些生气了，不耐烦的问：“你到底喝不喝?不喝算了!”看你的样子我有些害怕，接过了那瓶饮料。不等我喝完你又拿出一盒口香糖问我：“吃不吃?”这次我没敢多问，直接拿了一片放在桌上。你笑了笑，开心地拿起手机玩了起来。

我过生日时你有时会缺席，但从来不会缺席的是你的生日祝福和礼物。去年生日来，你没有在当天给我送礼物，但在几个月后我收到了你寄来的快递。我拆开包裹一看是个杯子，我便打电话问你：“这个杯子是送给谁的?”你说：“送给你的。”我就问：“这是迟到的生日礼物吗?”电话那头传来一声“嗯”之后就挂掉了。

有你真好!

时间过的真快，转眼间，夏姐姐离开了四季的舞台，秋姑娘带着一身金黄，迈着轻盈的脚步，悄悄地来到了我们的身边，来到了我们的校园里。

校园里，秋高气爽，蓝蓝的天空像擦拭的一尘不染的玻璃，绵绵的云朵，雪白雪白的如奶汁一样。首先，一进大门，映入眼帘的是草丛，草丛一排排的，金黄金黄的，就像秋姑娘把金黄给了草丛，黄黄的草丛像撒上了一粒粒金子。再往里走去，就有一架紫藤花架，慢慢地，叶子变黄了，有的叶子都被蚜虫咬破了，有的叶子都从花架上掉下来了，就像一只只蝴蝶在空中翩翩起舞。再往里面走一点，就会闻到一阵阵芳香四溢的香味，把我们给吸引住了，让我们不知不觉地停住了脚步，走进一看，啊！原来是一棵又茁壮又美丽的桂花树，让人感到沁人心脾。桂花香香的，软软的，花瓣就像一把把汤勺子，一碰它就会掉下来，远看，就像一个个漂亮的小姑娘穿着一身橘黄的晚礼服，近看，就像一颗颗小小的米粒。下课了，会有很多同学手里拿着竹篙，打桂花的花瓣，打得满院都是，然后，我们会把这种“桂花雨”收藏起来。

瞧，校园里的秋天美吧！

书本是我最喜欢的东西。儿时的一张兴趣调查表引起了我的注意。那是一张20xx年的表，在我7岁时，在“最爱的玩具”一栏里写着“书”这让我想起了往事。

幼儿时期，我在幼儿园的小小图书角，有几本漫画，画着些卡通人物，看着看着就腻了。这时，姑姑送我几本十万个为什么，我迷上了。本来在家里看看，后来就放在小书包里，带去幼儿园看。我认的字不多，遇到不认识的字就去理解个大概意思，囫囵吞枣的读，读完一本又一本，等看完了，我也读小学了。

二年级时，我住院了。在医院工作的小舅婆拿给我许多小叔叔以前看过的书。郑渊洁的一共12个关于生肖的故事和福尔摩斯探案集……外加一本小字典我津津有味的读，每天一本，直到我出院的那一天。事后听我爷爷说，我读书时很开心，常常一个人边看边笑。

现在，我看的书内容十分广泛，从四大名着到科幻小说，从童话故事到科普知识。书本变啊变，从单调的图画变成了密密麻麻的文字；从厚厚的一张张变成了薄薄的一页页；从简单易懂的童话故事变成了错综复杂的侦探小说……不管变成什么样我都爱看。

相信大家都比较喜欢这个小动物：小花猫

这只小花猫是姥姥养的，它有黄白相间的毛，一双明亮的眼睛和灵敏的耳朵。我来讲一下我与它的趣事：淘气的小猫和我。

NO1：声波吓肥猫

一天，我在姥姥家时，停电了，电视看不了了，找点什么乐子呢？突然，我发现了正在吃东西的小猫，于是我决定：戏猫。我悄悄地走过去，突然一声长吼，小猫吓坏了，一下就上了房顶。“哈哈哈……”我忍不住笑出声来。

NO2：石子攻击

由于小猫上房顶事把煤弄乱了，于是让我把它弄下来，可是我爬不上房顶，怎么办呢？突然，我灵机一动，拿起石子就往房顶上扔，小猫痛的受不了了，只能“自救”逃下“火线”，我又是一阵大笑。

NO3：鱼肉辣椒

逃下我的“火线”时，它把中午做饭的煤给咬碎了，姥姥说：“你快想办法吧，不然中午就做不了饭了。”我想了一会，说：“姥姥，快拿一些辣椒和一条鱼来。”“你要这些做什么？”“惩罚猫呀。”我说。姥姥赶紧把鱼和辣椒拿来了，我先把辣椒放进鱼的嘴里，在把鱼放进猫吃东西的碗里，就等它上钩了，果然，猫来吃鱼了，可它刚吃一口，喉咙就像着了火，它一口把大盆里的水喝光了，惹得大家哈哈大笑。

小猫虽然很调皮，但很有用，比如：姥姥家有两块田，种的菜比较多，所以有很多老鼠，每次植物们都东倒西歪的，多亏小猫把老鼠赶走，我为了奖励它的“英雄事迹”，我封它为“粮食的保护神”。

你看，小猫多么活泼、可爱啊，而且给我带来了快乐，小猫，我的心爱之物！

“走，走，走走走，我们小手拉小手，走走，走走走，一同去郊游……”我哼着小曲上了车，和老师、叔叔、阿姨、同学们一起去春游。在路上，我一会儿美滋滋地哼着歌，一会儿看看外面春意浓浓的风景，心里可真欢快呀！

过了两个小时，我们到了春游的目的地——乐清四都乡丽杨马场。我看到一片绿油油的草地，周围有一个宽敞的骑马场、驯马场、养马场、小动物养殖区域，还有自助烧烤区和餐厅。“这里真大呀，我们可以骑马啦！”我们大声地欢呼。

· 我和同学们飞快地跑到骑马场的入口排队骑马。叔叔把我抱上一匹黑棕色的小马。我握着马鞍上的铁环，脚踩着马镫，顿时就像是坐上天空的云彩上，摇摇晃晃的，我有点不舒服，我很担心自己会掉下来。马走了几步，我坐稳了，马跑了起来，我的手握得更紧了。一阵风吹过我的脸颊与后背，我感到浑身凉飕飕的，好像我飞舞在半空中……马在马场跑了两圈，我心里暗暗地喜欢上了骑马。

骑马后，我和爸爸一起去自助烧烤。到了那里，我和爸爸都各自忙开了。我有时拿食物，有时拿工具，一会儿刷油，一会儿烧烤。我吃着自己动手烧烤的羊肉串、虾、鱿鱼丝、花菜，我觉得特别鲜美好吃极了。我狼吞虎咽地吃着，把嘴巴塞得满满的。我和同学一起分享自己烧烤的食物，我们的脸上绽满了笑容。我们想把食物弄得更好吃，于是，想了个好办法。我拿来锡纸，把烧虾包起来，在烤炉上烤。烤了一会儿，虾烤熟。我慢慢地打开锡纸，冒出了一串串香气，我剥了烧虾壳，我迫不及待地品尝起了虾。虾又松又酥，很可口。我把烤虾分给阿姨和同学吃，他们也吃得很开心。

过了一会儿，我们到餐厅午餐。我与同学溜出后门去马场四周玩。我在养马场找到了一匹最可爱的小马驹，我拿了一些干草喂给这匹小马驹，小马探出头、伸出舌头，咬住干草，吃得津津有味。吃完了，他还朝我点点头，好像在说“谢谢你给我喂干草”。在动物养殖区里，我还看到一只安静乖巧的花孔雀、几只小巧可爱的珍珠鸡、几只乱窜的公鸡和母鸡等。

在驯马场，我和同学们玩了不少有趣的活动，比如亲子跳绳、跳长绳、拔河等比赛。我们玩得不亦乐乎、汗流满面。

这次春游给我带来了乐趣，也增加了与同学们之间的友谊。我喜欢春游。

Dear Mr. Wang,

Hello!

Recently, our class held the "Beautiful Christmas Chorus Competition" activity, I was unable to participate in the school recitation team recording activity, so I feel very sorry.

Remember Monday, you asked the students: "these days there are two festivals - Christmas and New Years Day, which holiday do you want to celebrate? We happen to coincide with the selection of "Christmas", of course, this is also my favorite holiday, it can be seen that we love Christmas in particular. Although, the festival chose my favorite, but when the team leader, not so gratified. You let the students recommend, but for some reason, the students did not choose me. I think, if you can recommend yourself first, then let the students vote on it. Because only let the students recommend or vote, the recommended students may not want to be, while the equivalent students like me, but may not have the opportunity, do you think I said reasonable?

Teacher, in fact, this is a small matter, the most regrettable is not able to spend Christmas with my classmates. How I envied bu Qingyang the other day for his successful participation in the party! Do you know? That afternoon, during the rehearsal of the recitation team, we were absent-minded, dejected and extremely sad.

Teacher, in fact, I understand your work, you are also for our good, I just want to talk with you about my heart.

merry

The work is smooth

Song Yuxuan

Almost everybody loves music, because music has its power. It can brings

joy to people when they feel upset. As for me, when I am not happy, I will turn

up the music in my bedroom, singing loudly and shaking my body. As Im immersed

in the music world, I will forget the annoyance and become active again. Music

also brings me the happy memories. Some songs have special meaning for me.

Whenever I hear them, the happy memories will appear in my mind. I feel life is

such wonderful for me. Music is the most beautiful language in the world. It

touches everybodys heart with beautiful rhythm.

Timeis the most valuable for people, because you can never own it again

after it goes. When I was little child, my parents always told me that I should

treasure my time. However, I seldom trusted in them because I thought that I

just a little kid and I have plenty of time. But after I went to middle school,

I changed my view. I spend all the day in school, having classes, and after

class, I have to spend some time in study. That is to say, I do not have much

time to play. Therefore, I realize that time is valuable and I should make a

good plan for my life, so that I can live a rich life.

床头的灯射出冷冷的光，投在阴影里的一切都显得不真实起来。书中的文字在我坚硬而脆弱的心上刻下了深深的痕迹。“一个真正的朋友，不是靠礼物换来的!”读完短文《羚羊木雕》小小年纪的我不禁掩卷沉思。

故事中的一对朋友，为了让彼此的友谊更加牢固，做一辈子的朋友，在未经父母允许的情况下都拿出自己最心爱的东西进行交换。一个朋友的礼物是珍贵的羚羊木雕，另一个朋友的礼物是一把普通的小刀。然而，好景不长，其中一个朋友的家长发现家中珍贵的“羚羊木雕”不见了，非常着急。后来这位朋友的家长了解事情的原委后，便要求他去把羚羊木雕要回来。这位朋友尽管心里十分不愿意，可是没有办法只好硬着头皮去要回来同时也把朋友送他的礼物还回去。正当他捧着沉重的羚羊木雕闷闷不乐地走在回家的路上时，他的朋友突然冲上来，再一次把礼物送给他，还真诚地对他说：“就算我们之间没有礼物，我们也要做朋友，做一辈子的朋友!”

就是这句话，深深地震撼了我。

在班级里我就像一只刺猬，把自己包裹起来，不让谁靠近我。我的性格脾气十分火爆，只要别人一碰我，我就会变本加厉地还回去;别人一说我，我也会加倍地报复。因此我在生活中朋友少得可怜，有时非常孤独。每当同学被我伤害时，他们总是成群结队地去老师那儿告状，老师就会苦口婆心地对我进行批评比教育。而我就像是一头愤怒的小狮子,心里一点都不服.因此我的朋友一个个离我而去,仅剩几个,可以说是少得可怜，有时非常孤独。就算是这样，老师的教育还是压根没有效果，我觉得同学有时太过夸张，不尊重事实;老师有时处事不公正，所以我在学校就还是那个我。渐渐地老师也对我失去了信心，或许在他们心里我就是个十恶不赦的坏小孩。但其实我明白，我并不是一个坏孩子，看着某些同学因为我的任性和粗暴的行为受伤，我心里也十分难过。所以我有时候也会从家里带些东西分给同学们，讨好他们，或者说是表达我的歉意。不过我发现同学拿到东西的那一刻是开心的友好的，不久便又是冷冷的啦。

但是，读了这个故事后我明白了一个道理：真正的朋友，用礼物是换不来的，只有用一颗真诚的心才能够迎来真正的朋友。所以，从现在开始，我不会这么卑微地活着，更不会再可怜的用礼物去讨好别人。我不再是那只满身是刺的刺猬，我要抬起头阳光地生活，让自己的生活五彩缤纷。以后的我会像阳光一样温暖同学，真诚地和他们相处，相信自己一定会拥有许多朋友，相信自己一定会收获友谊，更相信自己一定不会再孤单!

床头的灯光似乎不那么冷了，使我的心也渐渐温暖起来。

当听说学校有拔河比赛的时候，全班早已沸腾，以光速式到达比赛地点。

我们对战的是12班，只见12班摩拳擦掌做好了准备，12班同学看起来威武雄壮、虎背熊腰，这不禁让我们有一丝胆战心惊。

只见12班同学异常用力，尤其是那一个胖子，脸蛋子上的肌肉都扭曲在了一起，脸憋得通红，像一只勃然大怒的狮子一般，似乎要把一昼夜积起来的丹田之气全涌上来，伴随着露出的满口大牙，杀气腾腾。当我们体会到对手强大时，我们也不甘示弱，当然是为了“虚张声势”，这时我们班每位同学脸都涨得通红，看似红海一般，我们的李硕同学脸憋得铁青，眼睛与脸颊挤起了一道道皱纹，构成了一道道“山峰”，嘴巴不停地张合着，像京剧脸谱大花脸。

忽然，战势异常紧张，稍不留神，将会失败，我的胳膊异常酸痛，手也蹭破了皮，我的手犹如那粗糙的老树皮似的，同学们气喘吁吁，豆大的汗珠像断了线的珠子般滚落下来，丝毫不给对方喘息的机会。

就在这千钧一发之际，战况扭转，绳子的红布条向我们慢慢移动，我们拉得地动山摇，我们一步一步向后退，我们的袁翊淳同学看似柔弱，但他的手不停地往后拽，脚步不停地向后挪，身子不停地前后晃动着，最后既然用胳肢窝把绳子夹了起来。

刹那间，因用力过猛，呈窒息感状态的袁同学鼓舞士气：“兄弟们，撑住这口气，输了导致我们无地自容;赢了则为班级增添荣誉……”这时，我们每人都竭尽全力，李同学眼睛瞪得溜圆，嘴巴微张，看似一头战狼一般。红布条在最后一刻“走”到我们这儿。

这时，全班同学又一次沸腾了，呼喊声响彻学校，像刚打了八年抗日战争一样欢天喜地。你看，连那小树都在风中摇摆，为我们而喝彩。

每个人都会有自己五彩斑斓的童年，童年好似一场梦，充满了酸甜苦辣，以至于我们现在都可以回忆，面对我的童年，我也只能一笑而过，是的，小时候的我，是调皮滑稽的。朋友，我现在为你讲述一件我小时候的事情吧，记住不许笑哦！

小时候的我是附近“方圆百里”的捣蛋王，鄙人结交各路英雄豪杰，组建了“路见不平，拔刀相助特种部队”（其实是捣蛋团），专做侠义之事（其实专捣蛋啦~~），也就因为如此，大家都给我封了一个“英雄王”的称号（其实是捣蛋王）。一次，表哥来我家了，我心里悠然升起一个小恶魔，哼哼哼哼，恶作剧开始 ——

“表哥表哥！给你给你，妈妈刚买回来的奥利奥，可好吃了，尝尝吧！”我一边向他推销，一边又拿出了我为他“特意”准备的奥利奥。“有哪么好吃吗，看把 你乐的”也许是表哥不经常跟我呆在一块，所以也没有怀疑，张口就啊呜啊呜的吃了好几块，边吃边说“妹啊，这个奥利奥味道好怪啊，凉凉的，有点薄荷的感觉 啊。”“因为这是新上市的冰激凌口味，所以味道凉啊，带着薄荷味儿吧，很好吃吧！”嘻嘻嘻，当然味道怪吧，你可不知道这个奥利奥是我用牙膏当馅儿的啊，嘻 嘻嘻。“来来来，表哥，再喝口水吧，味道更凉快，超棒！”我又继续使坏，相信你们不可能不知道牙膏碰上水的效果吧，哈哈哈哈。咕咚咕咚，表哥一口气 喝下了水，大叫一声“想、好小子，你竟然骗我，这个是牙膏吧，你明明知道牙膏碰水起泡沫，故意整我是吧！”我捂这肚子大笑“哈哈哈哈.....我忍不住了 啊，是你自己没有发现啊，不能怪我哟，快点去洗洗，满嘴都是牙膏泡沫！”表哥这才发现，气冲冲得去了洗手间，样子真像一个狼狈的小丑。

“哈哈哈……”

看看你，你也被小时候调皮的我逗乐了是不是，小时候我真是太会整人了，你愿不愿意把你的童年趣事也告诉我呢？

The Lantern Festival falls on the 15th day of the 1st lunar month, usually

in February or March in the Gregorian calendar. As early as the Western Han

Dynasty (206 BC-AD 25), it had become a festival with great significance.

This days important activity is watching lanterns. Throughout the Han

Dynasty (206 BC-AD 220), Buddhism flourished in China. One emperor heard that

Buddhist monks would watch sarira, or remains from the cremation of Buddhas

body, and light lanterns to worship Buddha on the 15th day of the 1st lunar

month, so he ordered to light lanterns in the imperial palace and temples to

show respect to Buddha on this day. Later, the Buddhist rite developed into a

grand festival among common people and its influence expanded from the Central

Plains to the whole of China.

Till today, the lantern festival is still held each year around the

country. Lanterns of various shapes and sizes are hung in the streets,

attracting countless visitors. Children will hold self-made or bought lanterns

to stroll with on the streets, extremely excited. "Guessing lantern riddles"is

an essential part of the Festival.

Lantern owners write riddles on a piece of paper and post them on the

lanterns. If visitors have solutions to the riddles, they can pull the paper out

and go to the lantern owners to check their answer. If they are right, they will

get a little gift. The activity emerged during peoples enjoyment of lanterns in

the Song Dynasty (960-1279). As riddle guessing is interesting and full of

wisdom, it has become popular among all social strata.

People will eat yuanxiao, or rice dumplings, on this day, so it is also

called the "Yuanxiao Festival."Yuanxiao also has another name, tangyuan. It is

small dumpling balls made of glutinous rice flour with rose petals, sesame, bean

paste, jujube paste, walnut meat, dried fruit, sugar and edible oil as filling.

Tangyuan can be boiled, fried or steamed. It tastes sweet and delicious. What’s

more, tangyuan in Chinese has a similar pronunciation with "tuanyuan”, meaning

reunion. So people eat them to denote union, harmony and happiness for the

family.

In the daytime of the Festival, performances such as a dragon lantern

dance, a lion dance, a land boat dance, a yangge dance, walking on stilts and

beating drums while dancing will be staged. On the night, except for magnificent

lanterns, fireworks form a beautiful scene. Most families spare some fireworks

from the Spring Festival and let them off in the Lantern Festival. Some local

governments will even organize a fireworks party. On the night when the first

full moon enters the New Year, people become really intoxicated by the imposing

fireworks and bright moon in the sky.

春天来了，它带着温暖的风来了！春风吹绿了小草，大地像披上了一件绿色的大衣；春风吹开了百花，生活更显得更加绚丽。看！粉红色的桃花开满了枝头，远远望去就像一片片的红云，美丽极了。雪白雪白的梨花开满了枝头，就像白玉一样晶莹闪亮。河堤上的柳树姑娘长出了一头碧绿的长发，微风吹过，满头秀发随风飘舞。

春天的变化太大了，田野里麦苗绿浪翻滚，天上的风筝越飞越高，可爱的小燕子也从南方回来了，在忙着建它们的新家园，就连姨妈家的小乌龟也悄悄变化着。冬天，姨妈家养的沙滩龟的头老钻在沙子里，即使我用铲子戳它，它也不把头探出来。可是现在，它正在沙堆上懒洋洋地晒太阳那！

啊！春天的变化可真大呀！
