In recent years， studying abroad has flourished. Thousands of schloars and students have gone to foreign countries to study. Many people are sparing no effort in applying for going abroad.

Attending schools abroad has many advantages. In the first place， students who have studied abroad can act as mediators between peoples of different cultures so as to promote international understanding. Secondly， we can learn much more advanced knowledge of science and technology from the foreign countries. Thirdly， we can enjoy the contact with new and different cultures so as to increase the awareness of our own culture. Fourthly， we can learn a foreign language more quickly.

However，studying abroad may have disadvantages such as language barrier in the first few months or financial difficulties before getting a scholarship. In spite of these，the advantages greatly outweigh the disadvantages. It is advisable to attend schools abroad.

近年来,出国留学已经蓬勃发展。成千上万的许多学者和学生去国外学习。许多人正全力以赴地申请出国。

在国外许学习有很多优势。首先,在国外学习的学生可以作为调解人民族之间不同的文化,促进国际理解。其次,我们可以学到更先进的科学知识和技术的外国国家。第三,我们可以享受接触新的及不同的文化,增加自己的文化的意识。第四,我们可以更快地学习外语。

然而,出国留学可能有缺点例如语言障碍在头几个月或财务困难获得奖学金。尽管这些优点大大大于缺点。,出国留学是明智的。

自己的路自己走。所以说，最重要的，是清楚自己要什么。如果连追求理想的勇气都没有，还谈什么未来呢?“天生我材必有用”，李白说。

我很自信，自已的未来将绚丽多彩。我对未来也充满了希望。妈妈说：“咱们婷婷将来也当老板吧，那多好!”爸爸说：“你怎么也得比我强吧!将来考博士!”奶奶说：“将来我活命长，指望你留洋，带我也沾沾光!”爷爷说：“是呀!你只要当个什么家就好了。数学家、物理家、艺术家、天文学家……随便一个，都行!”

我迷茫了，我丢失了未来……我的未来，我做主!我想长大了当一名名医，览众多医书，医术高明。那多好呀!用自已的医术，换来了一个个病人的康复，一个个家庭的欢笑，那多好呀!我露出了灿烂的微笑。

我想长大了考大学、考研，再考博士。学识累累，满腹才华。为祖国做贡献，用自已的知识与双手，写最美最新的文字，画最新最美的画，建设一个最雄伟最壮丽的祖国。我想将来出国深造，见见外面的世界，这当然也是每个人的梦想，很难实现。但我自信，我要努力，走向世界。我也想当一个艺术家。用象形的画面形象地表现各个东西，我喜欢的东西!……

我想的太多太多，但决不想听从于父母。这是完整的我，因为未来是奇幻美丽的，未来是充满活力与希望的。

因为我的未来，我做主!记住，我的未来我做主。

I never thought ourFriendshipcould be so long. We are classmates, not only are still friends. We was like peas and carrots, no words do not say, learn from each other, to long for short.

Name is ling-ling jin, she is my good friend, she is fat, black hair like a black waterfall down vertically, a pair is eyes, his mouth with a knife. She commanded, considerate, in her heart is how to think how to say, serious and responsible. Speak is a disadvantage, but she is hurt others self-esteem.

We have two years of friendship, can be said to be my friend stay together life learning the longest time of friends. But sometimes, the cup of friendship, we sometimes jokes, but dont to heart. Until that time, we continue to cold for three days, meet dont say "hello", also no longer together, become a stranger, with indifference. Several times we all want to apologize, to lose me, she in and out of a person, very lonely, she and I justdont willing to give up this friendship. After days of ideological struggle, I decided to be friends, although the fault is not in me, we still made up. I often think: true friendship is to pass the test. From now on, we cherish the friendship

True friendship, it is purity transparent ice and snow, the cold the unity, the more tight.

True friendship is a clear spring water, not only to the column into the withered life vitality, but also can wash the stain of the mind

Original all stronger after the test of friendship, will never be apart.

我从来都没想过我们的友谊会如此长。我们不仅是同学，还是好朋友。我们形影不离，无话不说，相互学习，以长补短。

她是我的好朋友，叫金玲玲，她微胖，乌黑的头发像黑色的瀑布垂直下来，一双水灵灵是眼睛，嘴边有一条刀痕。她心直口快，体谅别人，在她心里是怎样想就怎样说，认真负责。不过她有个缺点，就是有是说话伤别人的自尊。

我们已两年的友谊，可以说是我的朋友当中待在一起生活学习最长时间的朋友。但有时，友谊之杯也会裂，我们有时开玩笑，但都没放在心上。直到那一次，我们持续三天冷漠，见面也不打招呼，也不再形影不离，成为陌生人，以冷漠相待。有好几次我们都想道歉，失去我以后，她进进出出都一个人，很孤独，我和她都舍不得放下这段友谊。经过几天的思想斗争，我决定和好，虽然错不在于我，我们还是和好如初。我经常想：真诚的友谊是要经过考验的吧。从此，我们更加珍惜这个友谊

真正的友谊，是冰雪纯洁透明，越冷越团结得越紧。

真正的友谊，是一涧清澈的泉水，不但给即将枯萎的生命柱入活力，而且还能洗涤心灵的污点

原天下所有人的友谊经过考验之后更加坚固，永不垮。

Blue sky white clouds, clear pledge ", when heard the words of the lyrics, the situation here is as in the word can describe the same. Nowhere to escape the sun pledge according to the heat. Alas - once the leafy village are now built a small house. In this new era, in a little bit of modern human, and the earth began to a little bit of become scarred, become overwhelmed.

According to research, the green coverage rate reached 30%, the carcinogenic substances in the air can fell by 58%, carbon dioxide at least by 90%, but now dont say those big cities, is even we this small country is doomed.

When summer arrives, sorching summer, cement road tan as hot as the red coals in the kitchen. Not a piece of green plays for us to talk, everyone stay at home, alone the cool, from a distance is very bleak.

Plants also is life, people are enjoying provide rich resources, it gives us life bring us countless convenience at the same time, should learn to be grateful. I can conveniently, for example: plant to filter and absorb the dust in the air is good, it is understood that the atmosphere through the forest, can reduce the amount of dust, 32% fly ash quantity reduced by 30%!

Dear classmates, greening can bring us a lot of good life, why dont we take action? Let us join hands and according to the requirements of the ecological civilization, cherish the nature, protect the environment, we will be more beautiful tomorrow!

蓝蓝的天空白云飘，晴空万里当头照”，当听到这句歌词时，此处的情景已如词里所形容的的一样了。太阳当头照酷暑无处逃。唉—曾经绿树成荫的小村如今都建起了小洋房。在这样的新纪元里，人类在一点点的现代化，而地球却开始一点点的变得伤痕累累，变得不堪重负。

据研究，在绿化覆盖率达30%的地段，空气中的致癌物质可下降58%，二氧化碳至少下降90%，可如今不要说那些大城市，就是连我们这个小乡村都难逃厄运。

一到夏天，炎炎酷暑，水泥路晒得如同灶里的红炭一样炙热。没了成片的绿茵供我们嬉戏畅谈，所有人都呆在家中，独自乘凉，远远望去甚是凄凉。

植物同样是生命体，人们在享受它给我们生活提供丰富的资源，带给我们无数便利的同时，应该学会感恩。我可以随手举个例子：植物对空气中的灰尘有良好的过滤和吸收作用，据了解，大气通过林带，可使尘量减少32%，飘尘量减少30%！

亲爱的同学们，绿化能带给我们生活许多好处，我们为何不行动起来呢？那就让我们携起手来，按照生态文明的要求，珍爱自然，保护环境，我们的明天一定会更加美好！

英语念起来干枯无聊，我偶尔往前面望去，有一排同学没事可做，竟然搞起敢死队的工作——在英语老师的眼皮子底下看漫画书，晕。更为巧合的是――竟然都是坐在一排的人！怀疑是不是串通好了的呢。

敢死队员1号：小心翼翼型

这位队员一边看着书，一边虎视耽耽地望着老师。瞧，他刚翻一页，就抬头看看老师，接着又翻一页，然后有抬头望望老师，这样重复循环，真不知道他把内容看进去没有。看见老师的目光没有扫向他，他赶紧抓住机会连翻几页，然后突然抬头，盯着老师。

敢死队员2号：动作怪怪型

这位队员可有点怪了，看着书，一会儿掏掏鼻子，一会儿打打哈欠，一会儿摸摸耳朵，一副惟恐天下不乱的样子，好像不让老师发现他的举动就不甘心似的，真是个怪人。

敢死队员3、4号：谈天说地型

这两位同学有些不把老师放在眼里了，边看书边聊天。我隐隐约约听见他们说冒险岛OL，说漫画内容，说小说，说娱乐咨询，就连老师和同学的目光扫向他们，也无济于事。

敢死队员5号：边学边看型

这位同学好像有些明白学习的重要性，看了几分钟的书，马上立起来听老师的讲课。课上一半时，老师为了扫查班上的敢死队，把同学们一个叫起一个问问题。这下可让这群敢死队员们开始惶恐不安了，他们连书都顾不着看呢。而这位队员呢，看一会儿就学学，这一招算是对他的MISS了。

敢死队员6号：理直气壮型

这位同学可是班上的霸王级分子了（注：别乱想，不是我啊），他可是一人之下，几十人之上，谁敢对他不敬，他的落雷马上就落在你头上了，（注：我已经欠了他3顿打了，要不是我能帮他弄电脑作业，我早就魂飞天了）因此每人敢告发他。不知是她的好运还是老师放水，他这样看了一堂课，竟然都没半点被批评，真太不公平了！！

谁知道，老师从天而降，为了抓住敢死分子，居然来个背后突袭，到所有座位后边地毯式搜索。5名敢死队员唰地一声，在同一时间内放下书，装起乖乖。只有敢死队员6号稳如泰山，而老师的目光明明瞄准了他，可老师却好像在放水一样，竟纵容他在自己眼皮子底下活动，真气死人了！而其他5位的敢死队员便无机可乘，只好乖乖停课，唯独6号占了便宜。

Last autumn we took a trip to Qianshan by bus. It is about thirty miles from the city. We planned to put up in a hotel there in order to watch the sun rise the next morning.

As soon as we got there, we began to climb up the mountains. How great the sight is! We felt as if we had entered amother world full of beauty, peaeefulness and loveliness. There are hundreds of mountains, one after another. there are magnificent cliffs, one above another. We climbed up vigorously and breathed the fresh air greedily. As the sun was going down, we descended to a little hotel at the foot of the hill, where we had a big dinner, and then went to bed early so as to regain the energy ior the expedition next morning.

Before daybreak, we reached the peak of the highest mountain after a hard groping and climbing in the dark. Unaware of the cold wind, we stood motionlessly, with our eyes fixing at the hr end of the east. Suddenly thin ravs of red hue spread across the sky. As the redness deepened, some mysterious clouds moved across thc sky, dividing heaven from the earth. Just at this moment, up from the brightening far east rose the sun. It was so red and yet so tender that we could gaze at it with naked eyes. and a slight applause from us. the amazed spectators, rang through the peak. Up, up it rose, adding to itself strength and glory at every step. It dazzled with vigour, driving away darkness, cold, and misery from the earth, and bring light, warmth, and happiness to men.

We were completely amazed at the wonder and the greatness of nature. We jumped and shouted like innocent children and we bathed in the first rays of the sun with the peak till it was time for our return.

"New Years day, New Years day!"The children were grinning from ear to ear on the grass.

The children in the square had some firecrackers and some around the fire.

At night, the sky becomes a colorful kaleidoscope.There are all kinds of firecrackers on the ground, red and red lanterns.From a distance, ah!It is more beautiful than spring, hotter than summer, richer than autumn, and more magnificent than winter.

There was a tray of candy and reunion dinners.Everyone happily gathered together, happily ate the reunion dinner, said to each other: "happy New Year to you!"I also say to everyone: "happy New Year!"

“过年了，过年了!”孩子们在草地上高兴得合不拢嘴。

广场上孩子们有的放鞭炮，有的围着火炉团团转。

夜晚，天空变成一个五彩缤纷，光彩夺目的万花筒;地上有各种各样的花炮，红红火火的灯笼。从远处一看，啊!比春天还美丽，比夏天还红火，比秋天还丰富，比冬天还壮观!

家里摆着一盘盘糖果和团圆饭。大家开开心心地聚在一起，高高兴兴地吃团圆饭，互相说声：“祝你新年快乐!”我也跟大家说：“新年好!”

Recently, my father changed a new mobile phone, which is Samsung svmvng.

emit seven colors of light.

It has a lot of functions. Open the game, there is a my "pet", open a look,

wow! A kitten. I cant play, just press, the kitten disappeared, I see, broken!

Hurry to ask Dad, dad looked and said: "Oh, Lin Lin, how did you buy the kitten!

I managed to raise the kitten so much that its time to take part in the

competition. Why did you buy the kitten? " I said, "Dad, Im sorry, I cant play,

you teach me." My father bought a kitten with 8 yuan and taught me how to feed

it.

Dads cell phone also has the function of taking pictures. At noon, the

whole family gathered around the dining table to have a meal. I took a picture

of everyone, so that my grandfather, grandmother, father and mother looked at

their appearance. They all laughed, and I also laughed.

There have been many environmental protection problems in recent years . One of the most serious problem is greenhouse gas emissions have caused climate change ,At the same time ,lots of trees have been used and wasted.So our earth is becoming warmer and warmer . .That brings us illnesses and death.

Luckily ，,many countries have done a lot to stop environmental pollution。Its the most important in the environmental protection today.

In my opinion ,on the one hand ,through education we should make people realize that destroying the environment means destroying ourselves,..On the other hand ,we should try to do something to produce fewer greenhouse gas emissions.

In a word .we must develop low-carbon economy

现在这些年已经有很多关于保护环境的问题。其中最严重的一个问题就是温室气体排放已经造成了气候改变。同时，很多树木被砍伐掉了，而且大量别的资源已经被用完或者浪费。所以我们的地球变得越来越温暖(热)。这样带给我们的是疾病和死亡。。

幸运的是，很多国家已经采取了很多措施来控制环境污染问题。如今，这是最重要保护环境的措施。

我认为，一方面，虽然教育我们应该让人们意识到破坏环境就是伤害人类自己。另一方面，我们应该尽力做一些事情来控制温室气体增长。

总之，我们必须发展低碳经济。

Recently, I was so shocked by the news that a young boy died of violence

after his parents sent him to a private school. The slogan of the private school

was to help parents correct kids bad behaviors. A lot of parents choose to send

their kids here after they giving up educating their kids. The public blamed the

parents for not educating their children in the right way. There is no doubt

that the root of kids problems come from family. Many parents always force the

children to do what they want and ignore the kids feelings, so they will go

against the elders thoughts. Finally, the parents lose temper. The elder should

show respect to the kids. Communication can solve the problem. When the children

receive love and understanding from parents, they will be nice persons.

Recently, a professor of philosophy in the United States has written a book

called Money and the Meanlng of Life. He has discovered that how we deal with

money in our day-to-day life has more meaning than we usually think. One of the

exercises he asked his students to do is to keep a record of every penny they

spend for a week.From the way they spend their money, they can see what they

Really value in life.

He says our relation with others often becomes clearly defined when money

enters the picture. You might have a wonderful friendship with somebody and you

think that you are very good friends. But you will know him only when you ask

him to lend you some money. If he does, it brings something to the relationship

that seems stronger than ever before. Or it can suddenly weaken the relationship

if he doesnt. This person may say that he has a certain feeling, but if it is

not carried out in the money world, there is something less real about it.

People just have an idea of making more and more money, but what is it for?

How much do I need for any given purposes in my life7 In his book, the professor

uncovered an important need in modern society: to bring back the idea that money

is an instrument rather than the end. Money plays an important role in the

material world, but expecting money to give happiness may be missing the meaning

of life.

端午节是我国民间传统节日。

听老辈讲，端午节的来历是这样的。

传说，春秋战国时期，楚国有一位爱国功臣，叫做屈原。屈原不仅是重臣，还是有名的文学家、政治家、诗人。当时，七国鼎立，数秦国，也数秦国野心，要一统天下。当时楚国国君制国无道，防御不行，很容易被打败，自然成了首选。这一点，才思敏捷的屈原早察觉到了，便上书楚王，希望国君加强防御，不让秦国的阴谋得逞，楚国国君不知良药苦口利于病，忠言逆耳利于行的道理，认为屈原瞧不起自己制国，把屈原调到汨罗去，屈原很伤心，很委屈，自己好言相劝国君加强防御，国君不但不听取意见，还当成恶意。终于，屈原忍不住了，在6月22日跳江自尽了。水火无情，屈原一下子被滔滔江水吞没了，百姓知道屈原是个好官，于是下江开船，纷纷抢救屈原，可这怎么捞的到?当时人们说水里有蛟龙，会吃了屈原的尸体，蛟龙吃饱了就不吃尸体了。以后，百姓把屈原自尽的日子叫端午节，每年的这一天，人们要包粽子，划龙船，祭奠屈原。端午节就是这样来的。

记得小时侯，端午节，我随父母去外婆家，当时外婆家那里端午节比较昌盛，几乎每年都要划龙船。今年也不例外。

当时，我家大舅舅身强力壮，也参加了划龙船比赛。

天下着小雨，我吃着黄澄澄香喷喷的糯米粽子，坐在老爸肩上，放眼一看，才知道我们夹在人群里。那大大小小成千上万把五颜六色的雨伞，成了一道奇观，一道亮丽的风景线，这时，我才知道，观众是有多少，——数不清;并把大江两岸围了个水泄不通。

江上，远远的只见八条三丈多长一米宽的龙舟，停在江中，每条龙船上各有十八人，一人在龙头擂鼓指挥，一人在船尾掌舵，中间十六人，分列龙舟两侧。每条龙舟就是一个独立团队，每个团队着装整齐，队员个个生龙活虎。比赛开始了，八条龙舟，象离弦之箭，队员们跟着鼓点的节奏，挥舞着船浆，喊着整齐雄壮号子，“一二、一二、一二……”龙舟越来越快，八条龙舟齐头并进，争先恐后，象八条鲛龙争夺东海明珠。一眼，一条黄龙飞跃过终点，比赛结束。所有观众一起鼓掌。比赛真精彩呀!

我爱划龙舟，我爱端午节!

sports. We always go to library together to read because of the same hobby. So,

we also study well all subjects. Reading books is important in our life .In some

ways, we are different. Dick is a little taller and a lot stronger than me. I

times a week. Dick likes going to concert, but I have no interest in it. In my

free time, I always watch TV. That is really fun.
