Which is better, shopping online or traditional shopping? Different people

have different attitudes towards it. Some people think that online shopping is

very convenient, for it can save them a lot of time and energy. It’s especially

helpful for those who are always busy with their work. Besides, through the

internet, they can get more information about the commodities they want to buy

and buy a lot of things that cannot be bought in local places.

Nevertheless, I’m not keen on online shopping at all, since most

commodities which are bought online are of poor quality. Once we are cheated, we

may find it difficult to make a complaint. Thus we should take more cautions

when shopping online.

In my eyes, I prefer traditional shopping, because I can choose what I

really need. Also, I can know the quality of every commodity more clearly. Even

if there’s something wrong with the commodities, I can still ask the sellers to

compensate for my loss.

Thanksgiving Day falls on the fourth Thursday of November every year. It is

the most truly American of the national Holidays in the United States. It is a

time for sharing. In the United States, it is their tradition that family

members get together for a reunion to have a traditional big dinner. On the

dinner table, people will find apples, oranges, chestnuts, walnuts and grapes.

There will be plum pudding, mince pie, other varieties of food and cranberry

juice and squash. The best and most attractive among them are roast turkey and

pumpkin pie. Although it is the traditional festival of America, it reminds us

of appreciation.

Recently, I saw a piece of news on the newspaper. This news has a picture

matched. The picture shows that a young lady sitting on the seat of a bus. But

it is strange that an old lady sits on the leg of the young lady, which there

are still many empty seats on the bus. I am totally moved after reading this

news. The old lady is the mother of the young lady. The old lady had some

problem with her back and leg that she couldn’t sit independently. And her

daughter does not want to see her mother stand on the bus in such an old lady,

so I see situation on the picture. Having read this, my eyes become wet. When we

are young, our mother will often carry us if there is any inconvenient, but when

our mother gets old, we seldom carry her.

The ancients had a saying: dripping, the smallest favor. In this world,

there are many people who grace to us. Our parents are the two people who give

us most grace. When we grow up, we need to say our thanks to them. As far as I

am concerned, thanks the people do good to us, especially our parents should be

the theme of our Chinese Thanksgiving Day.

今年的中秋节,我们家里可热闹了,姑姑带着姐姐和弟弟都来我们家过中秋.中午,奶奶做了一桌丰盛的饭菜,大家高兴的吃了个团圆饭.下午,天气适宜,我们到人民广场去钓鱼,喂鸽子,在我的努力下,还小有收获,钓了两条小金鱼.

晚上,姑姑建议去哥伦布餐厅吃自助,那里有很多好吃的,大家吃的可饱了.夜幕慢慢降临,月亮也露出了笑脸,我们决定到北街去赏月,街上可热闹了,到处充满了节日的气氛,大家脸上都洋溢着幸福的笑容.我们一边赏月,一边往江边走去,不远处,我看见天空中飘着很多孔明灯,姐姐告诉我那是人们通过孔明灯对远方亲人的思念,出于好奇,我们也买了一盏孔明灯,取了一个小火点,孔明灯就慢慢鼓起来了,在风的带动下,升到天空中.天空中的孔明灯越来越多,此时,月亮为了让更多的人看孔明灯的光,就“回家吃月饼”去了.虽然今晚的月亮“偷懒”了,但孔明灯就像一个个月亮照亮着每一个人.江边还有一些人在放莲花灯,各式各样的灯在水中飘动,漂亮极了!

这是我过得最难忘、最快乐的中秋节!

After I go to school, teachers always tell me to study hard, so that I can

be the excellent student. But now I have grown up, I have my own idea. The

reason for me to study hard is to return my parents’ love. When they are old, I

can make a lot of money and let them have a better life.

Teacher is a great job in most students’ eyes. When they are asked what

they want to be in the future, most will say they want to be a teacher and make

a contribution to the society. Indeed, we have access to the teachers all the

time and they have great influence on us. So being a teacher is a ideal job for

most students, but for me, I want to be a librarian. I like reading books so

much and once I have time, I will be immersed in these novels. Books broaden my

vision, though I can’t travel to the places, I can still know about these famous

sites from these books. Being a librarian can make me have a lot of time to

read.

Learning English is a hard but meaningful thing. I had access to English

when I was seven years old. I was taught to study words first. It was difficult

and I learned them every day. Then, I started to learn short conversations.

After practicing, I can talk with my friends. Suddenly, I was pride of my

English because I can use them to talk .No pains, no gains. My hardworking pays

back. What’s more, I can write compositions by myself now. I love English and I

will insist on learning English.

the most important traditional festivals in China.

On that day people usually go back home to have family reunion. Each family

The moon is the brightest this night. People eat the delicious food while

they are enjoying a beautiful full moon in their yard. At this time, some old

people would like to tell many past events and tell the children a story about

the rabbit on the moon . The children really believe that there is a rabbit on

the moon. They hope to go to the moon and have a look one day.

What a great festival!

中秋是个美好的节日啊!

when we think of halloween, we think of "trick or treat", pumpkins, jack o lanterns, vampires and haunted houses.

but do you know the origin of halloween? why does it fall on 31 october? what kind of festival is it? why is it so creepy?

halloween dates back to a celtic festival called samhain. november 1 is the new year of the celts, who lived in europe more than a thousand years ago. this is the day which marked the end of summer and harvest.

the celts believed that on the night of october 31, ghosts of the dead would return to earth. the celts celebrated samhain by dressing up in costumes with animal heads and having bonfires.

many celts settled in britain and ireland, where the festival became popular. those who moved to america took the tradition with them.

nowadays, most people celebrate halloween but only for fun. they are not worried about ghosts.

kids in america will dress up as devils or angels and will go from house to house calling "trick or treat", playing mischievous tricks and getting sweets.

americans spend more money on halloween than christmas! in xx, more than hk$45 billion was spent on halloween. and hk$15 billion of that was spent on candy alone!!!

kids in britain also dress up at halloween. they visit houses, sing songs or tell a joke to get sweets. many go to halloween parties and play games like "ducking for apples". you must pick up an apple in water but you can only use your mouth. try it!

The imperial palace, also known as the Forbidden City, is the imperial

palace of the Ming and qing dynasties, which is the largest and most complete

ancient architectural complex in China. I especially want to know the

architecture of ancient palaces and the living environment of ancient

emperors.

One weekend in the golden autumn, the sun is shining and the autumn wind is

crisp. My mother and I went to visit the Palace Museum in the center of the

city. I was very happy.

Enter the gate of the Forbidden City, "wow! Its so big here!" I couldnt

help it. The mother said, "the most spectacular is still in the back!" We first

visited the architectural model of the imperial palace and its construction. I

know that the imperial palace covers an area of over 720,000 square meters, with

more than 9,000 rooms, all wooden structures, and all the wooden structures have

no nails. The palace is the blue and white stone base, the tall roof, the yellow

glazed tile, the pattern of the dragon everywhere, and decorated with the

brilliant color of the golden wall. I observed all the palaces, and found that

the palaces were lined up along the north-south axis, and spread out to the

sides, to the north and south, and to the right and left. I told mom, I found

mother listen to nod a smile, said: "the central axis not only in the Forbidden

City, and nanda YongDingMen, north to the drum tower, almost throughout the

whole city. Its magnificent, well-planned and spectacular.

We have been visiting the taihe temple from the imperial garden. What a

breathtaking view! In the Forbidden City, the most striking is the "three halls"

: the hall of supreme harmony, the hall of harmony, the hall of protection and

the temple. They are all built on the 8-meter-high base of the white jade, which

looks like the qiong yuyu in the myth. The first hall of supreme harmony was the

most magnificent building. People called it the "throne room". It was the place

where the emperor held the grand ceremony. It is 28 meters high, 63 meters, 35

meters north and south, and a large pillar with a diameter of 1 meter. Among

them, six large pillars, one meter in diameter around the throne, are flat

dragon pillars of leached gold. The throne is located at the base of the two

meters high in the temple, with the graceful crane and the top of the furnace,

followed by a carefully carved screen. The whole hall is decorated with golden

walls, which are both majestic and magnificent. The hall of neutralization was

the place where the emperor went to the hall of supreme harmony to take a rest

and exercise etiquette. Baohe and the temple are the place where the emperor

gives banquet to the king of the foreign land every New Year. This is just the

palace buildings, and house decoration is numerous, the rarities of the mother

said: "these treasures is only part of it, when Chiang kai-shek fled to Taiwan

carried away many treasure palace, there are some loss in a foreign country". I

feel sorry for the loss of these treasures. When will these lost treasures

return to the embrace of the motherland? I am looking forward to the reunion of

Taiwan and mainland as soon as possible.

The visit of the Forbidden City made me linger. The Palace Museum is an

unparalleled masterpiece. It is a miracle. Our five thousand years of Chinese

culture are profound and profound, and we should be proud and proud to have

built such a magnificent palace for the ancients. At the same time, we also have

the responsibility to protect these cultural relics from destruction, so that

the five thousand years of splendid civilization of the motherland will be

handed down.

爱国心是通过实践而养成的一种眷恋故乡的感情。

Patriotism is a kind of nostalgic feeling formed through practice.

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!

As a Senior Grade Three students, I am very busy in preparing for the

college entrance examination. I have seven classes a day, and two self-study

classes at night. And only a day left for the weekend. So, most of the time I

have to spend on the study, after all the college entrance examination is very

important for almost all of us. Aside of study, I would play football with my

friends after school and the weekend. I like playing football very much. When I

run on the football field, I can put the examination thing off my mind for a

while, only sweat and laugh left. It is a good exercise for health and a good

way to relax from the busy study too. This is my high school life, busy and

fulfilling.

The Huang Mountain is a place of interest. here are lots of tourists seeing sights every day. Years ago, some of them paid no attention to environment protection. They threw about waste paper, plastic bags and tins. Besides, they killed animals, caught birds, destroyed trees and flowers. Worse still,

they often made a fire to cook in the forest. That was dangerous. Changes have taken place now. When tourists leave, they take away rubbish with them. They no longer hunt animals. Plants are also protected. All the tourists carry their lunch in order not to start forest fire. We must sing high praise of the good deeds.

With the brilliant fireworks light the sky, the prelude of the festival is

starting.No matter how long and how tough it is, the Chinese people trudged long

way to back home for the reunion of the family in the eve. It has been lasting

for many years, the Spring Festival Gala on the TV show is the repertoire,

entire family is enjoying the delicious and abundant dinner and foods and

watching the show together.For Chinese, every terrible memory and unhappiness

will be stopped at this night, and a splendid next year will also begin at here.

Their wishes become the blare of the crackers and colorful flash of the firework

into the air and spread faraway.For generations, the Spring Festival Eve is

considred as a new start for the future, a wonderful conclusion for passed a

year, and night when everybody is able to open their mind.

With the dramatic increasing economy, people have less time to stay with

the family. But in this eve, it could be a payback,a compensation, or a

opportunity to everybody who wants to share the enjoyment with his or her

family. The relaxing conversation and jokes are around the rooms with the warm

atmosphere in the chill winter night.

There are a lot of traditions of the eve inherited for generations. But,

now more and more new fashions introduced into this eve and even replaced the

old traditions. More and more people are glad to have the dinner in the

restaurants instead of cooking and having at home. However, no matter what it

is, a harmouious and peaceful night is the favorite of everybody here.

Almost all people work hard for success, but not all people can success.

Many people ask how to make success. I think the answer is persistence. The way

to success is full of failure and difficulty. People should never give up when

meet them. If you give up, you can’t be successful. No matter how hard it is,

persistence must be there.

What is art? When people think about this question, they will naturally

think about all kinds of musical instruments or the great paintings in the art

museums. Art seems to so far away from the ordinary people, but I don’t think

so. Art is everywhere. For example, the delicious food that is made by our

parents is the great art, and the value of the food is to bring people the great

joy when they have a taste of it. The scenery around us is the visible art, when

we appreciate it, our mood become eased. Art is something that brings people the

positive value for me, so art is around everybody. If we take time to slow down

our pace, then we can enjoy art from life and feel the comfortable

lifestyle.

When memory began for me, my grandfather was past sixty-a great tall man

with thick hair becoming gray. He had black eyes and a straight nose which ended

in a slightly flattened tip. Once he explained seriously to me that he got that

flattened tip as a small child when he fell down and stepped on his nose.

The little marks of laughter at the corners of his eyes were the prodnct of

a kindly and humorous nature. The years of work which had bent his shoulders had

never dulled his humour nor his love of a joke.

Everywhere he went, "Gramp" made friends easily. At the end of half an hour

you felt you had known him all your life. I soon learned that he hated to give

orders , but that when he had to, he tried to make his orders sound like

suggestions.

One July morning, as he was leaving to go to the cornfield, he said :

"Edwin, you can pick up the potatoes in the field today if you want to do that.

" Then he drove away with his horses.

The day passed, and I did not have any desire to pick up potatoes. Evening

came and the potatoes were still in the field. Gramp, dusty and tired, led the

horses to get their drink.

"How many bags of potatoes were there?" Gramp inquired. "I dont know.

"

"How many potatoes did you pick up?"

"I didnt pick any. " "Not any! Why not?"

"You said I could pick, them up if I wanted to. You didnt say I had to.

"

In the next few minutes I learned a lesson I would not forget: when Gramp

said I could if I wanted to, he meant that I should want to.

Gram hated cruelty and injustice. The injustices of history, even those of

a thousand years before, angered her as much as the injustices of her own

day.

She also had a deep love of beauty. When she was almost seventy-five, and

had gone to live with one of her daughters, she spent a delightful morning

washing dishes because, as she said, the beautiful patterns on the dishes gave

her pleasure. The bird, the flowers, the clouds-all that was beautiful around

her- pleased her. She was like the father of the French painter, Millet, who

used to gather grass and show it to his son , saying , "See how beautif ul this

is ! "

In a pioneer society it is the harder qualities of mind and character that

are of value. The softer virtues are considered unnecessary. Men and women

struggling daily to earn a living are unable, even for a moment, to forget the

business of preserving their lives. Only unusual people, like my grandparents,

manage to keep the softer qualities in a world of daily struggle.

Such were the two people with whom I spent the months from June to

September in the wonderful days of summer and youth.

My Low-carbon Life

The environmental pollution is worse and worsetoday. Many trees are cut down, and water and air are polluted. As a student Itry to have a low-carbon life to save energy and reduce pollution.

Firstly, I often walk to school. It can reduceair pollution. Secondly, I always turn off the lights and fans when leaving theclassroom. Thirdly, I always make full use of paper and other school things andnever waste water.

I wish more students to join me and make theearth more and more beautiful.

Everyone will have some unforgettable memories. These big and small

memories are like the shining stars in my memory, and one of them is the first

time I read science books.

It was the second day of the summer vacation for Daban. It was sunny and a

little sultry in the morning. My father said to me happily, "son, today my

father will take you to climb the mountain and enjoy the beautiful scenery on

the top of the mountain." I readily agreed. So we came to the famous Dayang

mountain in Dongzhu.

My father and I went to the foot of the mountain, looked up, and could not

see the top of Dayang mountain. My father said, "climb to the top of the

mountain and you can enjoy the most beautiful scenery in the world." I look

forward to my father.

At the beginning of climbing, I was full of energy and very relaxed. But

when I climbed to the middle of the mountain, my body became heavier and heavier

like lead. Dad saw me like this, so we rested for a while, and continued to

climb up. After a long time, I saw that I was exhausted when I was near the top

of the mountain. I begged dad to take me down the mountain. Dad encouraged me:

"hold on a little longer, and soon I will be at the top of the mountain Well,

the ancients said, "you will be at the top of the mountain and see all the small

mountains." dont you want to experience this feeling? " I gasped and said, "Dad,

I really cant climb. I cant move my legs anymore. I want to go back..." Dad

helplessly took me down the mountain.

At that time, I didnt stick to it. Unfortunately, I missed the beautiful

scenery at the top of the mountain. Ive learned that if I do anything, work hard

and stick to it to the end, there will be gains. Study is also, persist in the

end will achieve good results.

Teacher, perhaps the two words you have listened to many times, but I still want to say to you: "teacher, thank you!" On the occasion of arrival of teachers day, I will always think of you taught my scenes at ordinary times. When I have trouble, you always took pains to my guidance and help me; When I have a mistake, you will seriously pointed out, and then kindly help me to correct mistakes; When I achieved good grades, you will always be cock thumb, smile with canthus.

Teacher, you are my teacher! You are let me admire, let me progress, let me grow up tutor!

Teachers, thank you!

My Mother is a kind of gentle woman. She is always very gentle. She takes

good care of her children and keeps them all at school. I have one brother and

two sistets. So she gets four children in all. She gives us every comfort. We

all love her and she loves us also.

My mother has too much to do in bringing us up. As our family is too poor

to keep a servant, my mother has always to do very much work. She gets up very

early and sleeps very late every day. She works hard, yet without

complaining.

She is also a thrifty, and industrious woman. She saves every cent that she

can and keeps everything in order. As she has been busy eversince she was young,

she looks older than she really is. Her face is wrinkled, her hair becomes

silver white, but she works as hard as ever.

Often she says to us, "work while you work, play while you play. If you do

not work, you will become lazy and of no use to society." What piece of good

advice this is! We must worth it well and always keep it in our mind.
