Christmas is one of the most important celebrations of the year for the western countries. It falls on the twenty- fifth of December and has the same importance as Chinese New Year to people with English backgrounds. The celebration is for the birth of Jesus Christ, who is the son of God in Christianity. Now days Christmas is no longer only celebrated by the Christians, but by most people from all over the world.

On the twenty- fourth of December everyone gets excited for it’s the day before Christmas which is called Christmas Eve. The children are usually sent to bed early and are warned that “Santa Claus will only come and give you a present if you be good.” The younger kids actually believe that Santa will come down the chimney on the sleigh that’s pulled by his reindeers. Food like short bread and beer are prepared for Santa when he comes, however most times parents just eat them. Some children put socks and sacks up for the holding of the presents (that their parents put in).

Rise and shine on Christmas morning! The children are always the first ones to wake up, some even do at four. Present wrappers everywhere! They look into their presents with a big smile on their face and oh dear….I hope no one’s disappointed. I feel sorry for anyone that got pink underwear. Children play while dinner is prepared by the adults. The Christmas dinner are usually eaten together by relatives. The tradition of Christmas pudding and roosters are usually eaten with deserts afterwards. The rest of the day is usually games and fun before the good days all come to an end.

I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!

The Great Wall of China, also known in China as the Great Wall of 10,000, is an ancient Chinese fortification built from the end of the 14th century until the beginning of the 17th century, during the Ming Dynasty, in order to protect China from raids by the Mongols and Turkic tribes. It was preceded by several walls built since the 3rd century BC against the raids of nomadic tribes coming from areas now in modern day Mongolia and Manchuria.The Wall stretches over a formidable 6,350 km (3,946 miles), from Shanhai Pass on the Bohai Gulf in the east, at the limit between China proper and Manchuria, to Lop Nur in the southeastern portion of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.

中国的长城，在中国也被称为长城的10000，是中国古代的一个设防建造的第十四世纪末直到第十七世纪初，在明代，为了由蒙古人和突厥部落保护中国免受袭击。这是之前几个墙自公元前第三世纪的游牧部落来自地区现在的蒙古和满洲里的突袭建。壁延伸超过一个艰巨的6350公里(3946英里)，从东部渤海湾关山海，在中国和满洲里之间的界限，以罗布泊在新疆维吾尔族自治区东南部的部分。

The first major wall was built during the reign of the First Emperor, the main emperor of the short-lived Qin dynasty. This wall was not constructed as a single endeavor, but rather was created by the joining of several regional walls built by the Warring States. It was located much further north than the current Great Wall, and very little remains of it. A defensive wall on the northern border was built and maintained by several dynasties at different times in Chinese history. The Great Wall that can still be seen today was built during the Ming Dynasty, on a much larger scale and with longer lasting materials (solid stone used for the sides and the top of the Wall) than any wall that had been built before. The primary purpose of the wall was not to keep out people, who could scale the wall, but to insure that semi-nomadic people on the outside of the wall could not cross with their horses or return easily with stolen property.

第一主壁的第一个皇帝统治时期建造的，短命的秦朝的主要皇帝。这堵墙没有建造作为一个单一的努力，而是由几个区域的墙而建的战国加入了。这是位于更远的北部比目前的长城，很少遗骸它。在北部边境修建了防御城墙，在中国历史上不同时期几代保持。长城，今天依然可以看到建于明朝，一个更大的规模和较长的持久材料(固体石用于两侧和顶部的墙)比任何墙壁已建成之前。墙的主要目的是不让出来的人，谁能翻墙，但要保证在墙体的外侧半游牧民族，不能交叉的马匹或返回轻松赃物。

Time always passes quickly. In the blink of an eye it has to end. Now the burden is more and more big, the pressure will continue to increase. With one family expectations. I don’t want to let the family expectations become disappointed. So I’m trying. Now in order to their future happiness is struggling. I want to own a substantial future, give yourself a perfect life. Just don’t want to let myself down, leave regret memories. Some people always said to me: life is their own, happiness can only rely on their own efforts, do not always think what things are so simple. I think that makes sense, it has become my motto.

Advertisements are forcing their way into people’s lives. People refer to advertisements in their daily lives because they are consumers. The advertisers are usually manufacturers, retailers and salesmen. Their merchandise needs to be advertised to bring it to the attention to the customers. Thus nearly every product is advertised in some way. To a large extent, good advertising leads to success while bad advertising can mean failure.

There are many ways to advertise and ‘ads’ come in different forms. Newspapers carry advertisements. Some products are publicized on TV and radio which bring them into notice of a wide audience. Billboards also carry advertising. Advertising is a big industry now and many agencies have been set up to furnish a variety of forms.

However, advertising is not always truthful. A product is often misrepresented. The advertiser exaggerates the benefits of the merchandise he wants to sell. Thus, he misrepresents the truth. The consumer falls victim to such advertising. Millions of people have bought advertised products and have been dissatisfied with them。

visit my grandparents with my parents. My grandmother is very zeal.Our dinner is

very delicious.After the dinner,the people gave me money in red envelopes.I am

very happy in this family with my grandparents.

is a clean river near the mountain.And there are some beautiful flowers,grass

and big trees.Some trees are orange trees,the others are banana trees.Oh,I am

very tired but interesting.

I am very happy on this holiday because I like Spring Festival very

much.What about you?

I like teamwork because I can learn from others. Once, I was very shy and

did not know how to get along with other students, so everytime when the teacher

gave us the task and asked us to finish in the teamwork, I was very scared. Then

my classmates helped me, they gave me a lot opinion and they respected me,

making me the indispensable person. Then I became brave and gave my opinion, we

were in a group, every opinion meant so much. During these days, I was so

excited about the experiment, we shared our idea and talked happily. It was such

a happy moment, I liked cooperation.

Tennis is the world’s third sport, it ranks after football and basketball.

Every year, a lot of audience keeps their eyes on the four grand slam

championships. It is known to all that Wimbledon has the oldest history and the

tennis players treat it as the greatest honor to win it. This year, the local

player Murray won it again.

The famous male tennis players are Big 4. They almost won all the important

championships during the last ten years. But Murray was in the awkward situation

though he was one of the Big 4, he never won the grand slam, what’s more, people

in England put so much hope on him to win Wimbledon Championship. When Murray

made it he cried out and felt relieved.

When the second time he won, he cried out again though he did not have so

much pressure as before. The fans knew that he had a hard time after his first

great honor, people started to qustioned about his ability. But he proved

himself again.

Every player has his honor hour and the bad time, the more important is to

never give up, then honor will come again.

人的一生总要经历很多事，生活也总是处处有惊喜。每一次经历和惊喜都能让我们不断进步，让我们更有勇气去面对问题。

这不，前两天，我们就迎来了一个惊喜：“我们要去拓展训练!”听到这一消息全班都沸腾了!同学们一回到家便去准备拓展训练需要的生活用品，因为我们要独自生活三天。

我们去时，是抱着美好的心态去的，但事实并没有那么美好!一是因为不能吃零食(听到这个消息后，我一口气把准备带的零食全吃完了!);二是因为每天都要早起，并且要跑步;三是因为室友知道我胆小，所以总是晚上散着头发扮鬼、讲鬼故事。

不过，我从每个活动中都获得了不小的收获。比如我从室外拓展训练中明白了我们要团结，同学之间要互相帮助，多体谅别人，自己做了错事就要自己承担责任和后果，不能让别人来收拾自己的烂摊子。

从晨练中，我又明白了一定要坚持，一定不能跑到一半就放弃!做其他事也一样，一定不能半途而废，要勇敢地坚持下去!

总之，这次的拓展训练让我明白了什么是勇气，什么是团结，什么是善良。所以当我听到自己是220名时，不骄傲不伤心，不像有的人一样，听到自己考差时，只会嚎啕大哭。我冷静地分析了一下自己为什么会与定的目标——年级前50名相差那么远。我没达到目标的主要原因就是课外积累的知识少、没认真复习，只顾和小侄女玩了。

是这次社会实践活动让我明白了那么多道理，学会了那么多本领，我希望以后能多有几次这样的活动。

I am not fond of basketball,let alone to play it.But I have seen a

wonderful basketball game between my class and postgraduate class.It is so

wonderful that I cannt help asking myself "Is it real".The answer is pretty

yes.I also learn a lot from the game.

First ,teamwork is very important.You are sure to fail if you play by

yourself.So five members must play together and well orgnized.Second ,you should

have a aim.In order to reach it,you should try your best.

Last,never give up whatever have happened.Even if you get low scores,you

shouldnt give up.If there is a will,there is a way.If there is a will ,there is

also a opportunity.And you can make failure into success.Believe yourself and

believe your team.You are the best one.

Presently， a new lifestyle called low carbon life is spreading every corner of our country. The concepts of low carbon are low energy and no waste. It is such a significant project that I can‘t wait to present my ideas on how to promote it.

目前，新的生活方式称为低碳生活传播我们国家的每一个角落。低碳的概念是低能耗和废物。这是个重大项目，我迫不及待地表达我的想法如何实现它。

On the first place， a no-car day is supposed to set up every week in our school. Because cars not only cause serious air pollution but also waste energy. On no-car day， neither students nor teachers are allowed to drive to school. Meanwhile， just walk， jump， cycle or run. Use our legs and enjoy the fun.

在第一个地方，一个无车日应该是在我们学校设立每周。因为汽车不仅会造成严重的空气污染，又浪费能源。对无车日，学生和老师都不允许开车去学校。同时，只是走，跳，循环或运行。使用我们的腿和享受的乐趣。

On the second place， we had best not use plastic bags any more. No one can stand the “white pollution”。 So， it is wise to use bags which can be reused again and again. Finally， one thing that we should keep in mind： every big thing comes from the subtle. Therefore， as students， we ought to turn out the lights the moment we leave， turn off the tap in time， and reuse our textbook and so on.

第二，我们最好不要使用塑料袋再。没有人能忍受“白色污染”。因此，使用袋可重复使用一次又一次是明智的。最后，有一件事，我们应该牢记：每一个大的东西都来自微妙。因此，作为学生，我们应该关灯当我们离开，关闭水龙头的时间，我们的教科书和重用等。

All in all， it weighs greatly for all of us to put the low carbon lifestyle into practice. Just set our mind to these： no-car day， no plastic bags， and no waste. Let‘s do it now.

总之，它的重量为我们所有人付诸实践低碳生活。只是这些设置我们的思想：无车日，没有塑料袋，没有浪费。让我们现在就做。

Nowadays we see supermodels on almost every magazine cover and one might wonder what life will be like being one of them. Such assumption may be painful for most of the magazine readers who are already over the age when they can get taller. In response to the ”Getting taller trend”, some goes so far as to pay doctors to cut their legs open and let surgeries do the job to get just two centimeters’ higher.

In spite of all these that are happening, some of my taller friends desire to give up this superiority for they just don’t want to be the center of the crowd, saying that they would kill to be a 4 feet child. Girls, maybe you can’t remember the time when you were younger and you need to jump really hard to catch a glimpse of up-the-table world? But being taller, even the upper world of the refrigerator top is no longer a myth and your mom and dad can’t hide your snacks up there any more! As time goes on, you can easily see on the table the beautiful lavenders or lilies stretching themselves in their own fragrant smell, the shining toaster popping out warm tasty toast, or the little drops of water glittering under bright sunshine after your mom wipes the table. Don’t you just love to see every phase of the moon even when they are not that high up in the sky?

Well, I do. Being a 5 ft 10 myself, I am also taking the advantage of buying a larger outfit at a same price. Also, I get a cleaner view of the blackboard even when sitting far away from it. I run faster, jump higher and can think positively. I am proud to say that I possess the ability to see the upside of almost everything. I guess it is because I am closer to the clear blue sky above our heads.

"Grateful heart, thank you, my life, let me have the courage to do my own......" Whenever I hear this song, was deeply touched. Along the way, I need to thank people is too much: thank my father mother for all her support, thank you grandma and grandpa takes good care of me, but I thank the teachers to me most hard training.

Ginger teacher, thank you. Is that you let me from an ignorant children grow up to be an excellent young pioneers. I the honorary certificate, all saturated with your work. Are you again and again with rest time for us to make up a missed lesson, corrects students papers. Remember that there is a second grade, because Im too proud, examination results some bad, you reminded me in time, learn to be modest, not proud, I corrected the mistake. Thank you so much! Ginger teacher. Is you bring me into the ocean of knowledge, experience of reading pleasure, your wonderful lecture fascinating, have led us into a colorful new world, teach us to be the truth.

Jiang teacher, you give my love now I repay you, but I will return you in high honors!

“感恩的心，感谢有你，伴我一生，让我有勇气做我自己……”每当我听到这首歌，便感慨万千。我一路走来，需要感谢的人实在是太多太多了：感谢爸爸妈妈对我的养育之恩，感谢爷爷奶奶对我的无微不至地的关怀，但我最感谢老师们对我辛勤的培养。

感谢您，姜老师。是您让我从一个无知的孩童成长为一名优秀的少先队员。我那一张张荣誉证书，无不浸透着您的心血。是您一次次用休息时间为我们补课、批改作业。记得二年级时，有一次由于我过于骄傲，考试成绩有些不好，是您及时地提醒了我，学习要谦虚，不能骄傲，使我改正了错误。感谢您!姜老师。是您把我带进了知识的海洋，体会到阅读的快乐，您的精彩讲课引人入胜，把我们领进了一个五彩缤纷的新世界，教给我们做人的道理。

姜老师，您给予我的关爱现在我还无以回报，但我会用优异的成绩来回报您!

My dream home is an old castle in France. There are at least thirty rooms in it. It has three floors.

There is a big sitting room and dining room on the ground floor. It must have a very large window on the ground floor. I can look out of the window.

There are six bedrooms on the first floor. Maybe my good friends can live in the rooms. There is a bathroom in each bedroom. I would like my friends to have a shower or a bath in my castle.

There is a special room on the second floor. I can put all my clothes in the room. The room must be next to my bedroom. There is a big bed in my own bedroom. It is two meters long, because I love to sleep. There is a bathroom in my bedroom.

There is a very large garden outside my house. I can have breakfast in this garden. I can have parties in it. The garden is like a park. There are many kinds of flowers and trees in it. In the centre of the garden, there is a wooden swing. I can play on it.

This is my dream home. It is a nice dream.

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.

On the weekend I like to spend time in library. I like reading books. There

are many people in the library, but it is very quiet. Nobody talks in the room,

only the sound of page turning. I’m very interested in the space, so I read a

lot of books about space. Recently, I read the book Martian. It is about an

astronaut Mark left on the Mars alone, he did many things to keep himself alive.

After 549 solar days his crew mates came back to take him home. Mark is very

tough to survive in Mars, he is a big hero. In the library I can read so many

story and see the bigger world. I like library.

我们班的口号是“百舸争流，奋楫者先”，接手这个班以来，我一直尝试营造一种和谐发展，快乐学习，良性竞争的班级氛围，在第一节班会课上，我提出我们的奋斗目标，成绩进入前八，文明班评比进入前五。

一个学期下来，成绩方面虽然还有些不尽人意之处，但还是有很多闪光点，语文更是冲入年级前三名，物理拿了年级第一。文明班方面，虽然我们一次都没有拿到先进文明班的称号，但是五次评比中我们拿了三次第四，这无疑也给我们一个充分的信心，我们一定能做得更好!

The book is an indispensable part of people, gorky once said: "books are the ladder of human progress."

Book, give me knowledge and give me wisdom, is reading I learned that Huang Detian teacher wrote "mingle" by the book, let me know how a lot of life philosophy.

After I finished reading the book "mingle", I didnt find the book he is our knowledge of an ocean, with books is the most lucky thing, in the "center", I read the contents inside, is he let me understand the center of this a few words to understand, in life, I still is to respect teachers, respect for their parents, their words, we are going to listen to, because they are more knowledgeable than we, therefore, their knowledge, skills, are stronger than we; Because they love us very much, so, they will repeatedly told us that we should never complacent, dont like some people, dont respect teachers in school, no respect for their parents in the home, often with teachers and parents talk back, never go to think about it, is for the sake of his good teachers, parents, will only complain their parents and teachers, teachers and parents are sometimes said to avoid wrong shipment, a review of the wrong you, that also should correct in suitable places, and have to wait for each other to calm down, just to negotiate this matter peacefully, but also by the other party, dont mad at go against them, this will only make them more more anger, only calm, calm to solve the problem, the other has said, jun not smell "dont listen to the old man said, suffer in at the moment."

书是人们不可缺少的一部分，高尔基也曾经说过：“书是人类进步的阶梯。“

书，赋予我知识、赋予我智慧，看书是我了解到黄德甜老师所写的《语重心长》通过这本书，让我懂得了不少的人生哲理。

在我读完《语重心长》这本书后，我才发觉到书他是我们知识的一片海洋，能与书为友是最庆幸的事，在《语重心长》里，我读懂了里面的内容，是他让我明白了语重心长这几个字的理解，在生活中的我，仍然是要懂得尊重师长、尊重父母，他们的话，我们要听，因为他们的见识比我们多，所以，他们的学识、技能也比我们强;因为他们十分关爱我们，所以，他们才会反复叮嘱我们，我们千万不要自以为是，不要像一些人，在校不尊重师长、在家不尊重父母，而经常与师长、父母顶嘴，从不去想想，师长、父母是为了他好，只会心里埋怨自己的父母与师长，难免有时师长、父母是会说错批、评错你，那也要在适合的场所纠正，和必须等对方冷静下来，才和平地去谈判这件事情，而不要在对方还在气头上去顶撞他们，这样只会更加的让他们更怒气，只有心平气和、冷静才能解决问题，古句也有说国，君不闻“不听老人言，吃亏在眼前。”

Today, our classes in the summer holidays have finished. And tomorrow, we’ll have a rest. But the day after tomorrow, we’ll go to school again.

I still remember that on holidays, I was always expecting to go to school, and I always felt unforgettable because I have nothing to do everyday. But now, the most special year is coming, all the schoolmates in my age have got ready for the coming term, so have I.

Today , Ah Wei told us that about one or two weeks later, we’ll have an examination to choose some good students in English to take part in the English Olympic competition. I am full of confidents.

The best wish for myself is that I can pass the exam successful.

[新学期的愿望英语作文

i was thirty-seven then, strapped in my seat as the huge 747 plunged through dense cloud cover on approach to the hamburg airport. cold november rains drenched the earth and lent everything the gloomy air of a flemish landscape: the ground crew ran gear, a flag atop a squat airport building, a bmw billboard. so germany again.

37岁的我端坐在波音747客机上，庞大的机体穿过厚重的夹雨云层，俯身向汉堡机场降落。11月砭人肌肤的冷雨将大地涂得一片阴沉，使得身披雨衣的地勤工、呆然垂向地面的候机楼上的旗，以及bmw广告板等的一切的一切，看上去竟同佛兰德派抑郁画幅的背景一般。罢了罢了，又是德国，我想。

once the plane was on the ground soft music began to flow from the ceiling speakers: a sweet orchestral cover version of the beatles " norwegian wood". the melody never failed to send a shudder through me, but this time it hit me harder than ever.

飞机刚一着陆，天花板扩音器中低声传出轻柔的背景音乐，那是一个管弦乐队演奏的甲壳虫乐队的《挪威的森林》。那旋律一如往日地使我难以自已。这一次，比往日还要强烈地摇撼着我的身心。

i bent forward in my seat, face in hands to keep my skull from splitting open. before long one of the german stewardesses approached and asked in english if i was sick. "no," i said, just dizzy"

为了不使头脑胀裂，我弯下腰，双手捂脸。很快，一位德国空中小姐走来，用英语问我是不是不大舒服。我答说："不要紧，只是有点晕。

"are you sure?"

"yes, im sure. thanks."

"真的不要紧?"

"不要紧的，谢谢。"我说。

she smiled and left, and the music changed to a billy joel tune. i straightened up and looked out the plane window at the dark clouds hanging over the north sea, thinking of what i had lost in the course of my life: times gone forever, friends who had died or disappeared, feelings i would never know again.

她于是莞尔一笑，转身走开。音乐变成彼利·乔的曲子。我直起了腰，望着北海上空阴沉沉的云层，浮想联翩。我想起自己在过去人生旅途中失去的许多东西——蹉跎的岁月，死去或离去的人们无可追回的懊悔。

the plane reached the gate. people began unlatching their seatbelts and pulling baggage from the storage bins, and all the while i was in the meadow. i could smell the grass, feel the wind on my face, hear the cries of the birds. autumn 1969,and soon i wou1d be twenty.

机身停稳后，旅客解开安全带，从行李架中取出皮包和上衣等物。而我，仿佛依然置身于那片草地之中，呼吸着草的芬芳，感受着风的轻柔，谛听着鸟的鸣啭。那还是1969年的秋天，我快满20岁的时候。

…

true, given time enough, i can bring back her face. i start joining image-her tiny, cold hand; her straight, black hair so smooth and cool to the touch; a soft, rounded earlobe and the microscopic mole just beneath it; the camels hair coat she wore in the winter; her habit of looking straight into your eyes when asking a question; the slight trembling that would come to her voice now and then (as if she were speaking on a windy hilltop)-and suddenly her face is there, always in profile at first, because naoko and i were always out waking together, side by side. then she turns to me, and smiles, and tilts her head just a bit, and begins to speak, and she looks into my eyes as if trying to catch the image of a minnow that has darted across the pool of a m1impid spring.

当然，只要有时间，我会忆起她的面容。我追忆着：那冷冰冰的小手，那流线型泻下的手感爽适的秀发，那圆圆的软软的耳垂及其紧靠底端的小小黑痔，那冬日里时常穿的格调高雅的驼绒大衣，那总是定定注视对方眼睛发问的惯常动作，那不时奇妙发出的微微颤抖的语声(就像在强风中的山岗上说话一样)—随着这些印象的叠涌，她的面庞突然自然地浮现出来。最先出现是她的侧脸，大概因为我总是同她并肩走路的缘故，最先想起来的每每是她的侧影。随之，她朝我转过脸，甜甜地一笑，微微地低头，轻轻地启齿，定定地看着我的双眼，仿佛在一混清澈的泉水里寻觅稍纵即逝的小鱼的行踪。

i do need that time, though for naokos face to appear. and as the years have passed, the time has grown longer. the sad truth is that what i could recall in five seconds all too soon needed ten, then thirty, then a full minute——like shadows lengthening at dusk. someday, i suppose, the shadows will be swallowed up in darkness. there is no way around it: my memory is growing ever more distant from the spot where naoko used to stand-ever more distant from the spot where my old self used to stand. and nothing but scenery, that view of the meadow in october, returns again and again to me 1ike a symbolic scene in a movie. each time it appears, it delivers a kick to some part of my mind. "wale up," it says. "i’m still here! wake up and think about it. think about why im still here." the kicking never hurt me. theres no pain at all. just a hollow sound that echoes with each kick. and even that is bound to fade one day. at the hamburg airport, though, the kicks were longer and harder than usual which is why i am writing this book: to think. to understand! it just happens to be the way im made. i have to write things down to feel i fully comprehend them.

但是，让直子的面影在我脑海中浮现出来，我总是需要一点时间。而且，随着岁月的流逝，所需的时间愈来愈长。这固然令人悲哀，但事实就是如此。起初5秒即可想起，渐次变成10秒、30秒、1分钟。它延长得那样迅速，竟同夕阳下的阴影一般，并将很快消融在冥冥夜色之中。哦，原来我的记忆正在同直子原来站立的位置步步远离，甚至逐渐远离自己一度站过的位置。而惟独风景，惟独那片10月草地的风景，宛如电影中的象征性镜头，在我的脑际反复推出。并且那风景执着地连连踢我的脑袋，说着："起来，我可还在这里哟!起来，起来想想，思考一下我为什么还在这里。"不过这种踢法一点也不痛，一脚踢来，只是发出空洞的声响。甚至这声响或迟或早也将杳然远逝。但是在这汉堡机场，它们踢得比往常更长久、更有力：起来，理解我!惟其如此，我才动笔写这篇文字。我必须形诸文字，才能弄得水落石出。

My New Years Resolution

2014 will be end ,and 2015 will be come. In the new year ,we must be have much wishes, because new year means that things end and another things start. So we need to make a new years resolution in order to the second year will be better. I want to share my new years resolution with you. Firstly, I decide to try my best to learn english. because my english so poor that it affects my other subject. I will face many differences, such as broadening my vocabulary, training my listening, improving my write and so on. I must work hard because I dont want to behind the times. Secondly, I will give up watching football games because every time it takes me two hours, which makes me not finish my homework. As a student, study is our duty, so I will focused more on study and less on playing . In order to my future, I will work hard.

2014年即将结束,2015年即将来临。在新的一年里,我们必须有很多愿望，因为新年意味着事情结束，另一个开始，所以我们需要让新的一年的决议为了第二年会更好。我想与你分享我的新年决心。首先，我决定尽我最大的努力学习英语。因为我的英语很差,它会影响我其他的科目。我将面临很多差异,例如扩大我的词汇，训练我的听力，提高我的写作等等。我必须努力工作，因为我不希望落后于时代。其次，我将放弃看足球比赛，因为每一次我花了两个小时,这让我没有完成我的家庭作业。作为一名学生,学习是我们的责任，所以我将更关注学习而不是玩。为了我的未来，我将努力学习。
