Generally speaking, shopping online offers lots of advantages with its convenience the most prominent. There are many commodities on the internet where you can search whatever you want.

在我看来，网上购物的利大于弊，而且随着电子商务的发展，将会有更多的人在网上购物。

The large number of our population has become one of the most serious

problems of our society. According to a recent survey of the National Bureau of

Statistics, there are more than 1.3 billion people in our country, which account

for about 1/5 of all the people in the world. the same survey also predicts that

our population will grow quickly in the years to come.

Overpopulation has brought about a series of negative effects to our

economic development and social security. In the first place, too many people

impose a heavy burden on our environment. As a result, we suffer from a shortage

of fresh water and natural resources. In the second place, as the supply of

labor GREatly exceeds the demand of the society, many people become employed.

This is a source of social unrest. Last but not least, we have to manufacture

all kinds of products to meet the needs of the people, which causes environment

pollution to our lakes and land.

Serious though the problem seems, we have to take some measures to tackle

it. On the one hand, the government should carry out more strictly the policy of

family planning, thus reducing the total number of population. On the other

hand, all the people should realize the harms of overpopulation. With the

concerted efforts of all the parties concerned, we’re sure to solve the problem

in the future.

Its almost the end of April. Summer has come to us in my city. In south,

summer always comes earlier than north. It has been hot for about half a month.

The highest temperature reached 37 degree. Now, there are much less people in

the street. People are not likely to go out during the summer. Its so hot

outside. Swimming is the most favorite activity in my city. The pools are always

full filled with people. Parents often take their children to swimming pool at

night. Personally, I do not like summer, because its too hot and the sunshine

is strong. I sweat a lot and that makes me very uncomfortable. Therefore, summer

is tough time for me and I always expect winter to come.

With the development of science , more and more people are confused that whether it is good or bad to make robort. Are roborts going to take place of human beings.

Every coin has two side. Robort can be good to our society and life. At the same time,it also have some bad effect on our life.In my opinion, the advantages of robort are much more than the disadvantage of roborts.

First, roborts make our life more convenient. We can do many thing that we didnt have the ability to do in the past by using roborts.That makes our life more effective.

Second, roborts can be used in industry produce. Factories can reduce the cost of prodution by using roborts. Roborts do not need to eat and they will not be ill. Thats very good for producing goods.

Third,roborts can save more people when disaster happens. Because they cant feel pain and they can save more people without feeling tired.

In a word, the world is changing .We should also change our thought to accept roborts to become part of our life . That can make our life more colorful.

随着科技的发展，越来越多的人都感到困惑，是好是坏机器人。是机器人将取代人类。

每个硬币都有两面。机器人可以很好的为我们的社会和生活。同时，它对我们的生活也有不好的影响。在我看来，对机器人的优点远大于缺点的机器人。

首先，机器人使得我们的生活更方便。我们能做的，我们没有做过去用机器人的能力，很多事情，使我们的生活更有效。

其次，机器人可以用于工业生产。工厂可以通过降低生产成本的机器人。机器人不需要吃饭，他们会不会生病。这是非常好的生产商品。

第三，机器人可以挽救更多的人，当灾难发生时。因为他们不能感到痛苦，他们可以拯救更多的人而不觉得累。

总之，世界在变化，我们也应该改变我们的思想，接受机器人成为我们生活的一部分。这可以使我们的生活更加丰富多彩。

It seems like a silly question, anyone in sane would give a hand to the elderly who fell. But in China, this question is becoming tricky. Many news report that there are some old people not just fell, they do it on purpose. Usually, they walk on a crowdy street, and pretend to faint or just lay down on the ground, intend to accuse the one who comes to help as a perpetrator and blackmail him/her for the treatment fee. Many people have fell for that and had to pay as there is no witness to prove their innocence. As for these negative news, people is afraid to help those old people in need, that makes some of them who are in real trouble could not get help in time. I once asked one of my friends: “Why the old people turn bad? If you see one in the street, would you help?” He said: “It is not the old people turn bad, it is the bad people turn old. I will video him/her to make a statement first, then decide if I would help.”

这似乎是个愚蠢的问题,任何清醒的人遇到跌倒的老人都会伸出援助之手。但在中国，这个问题变得棘手。很多新闻报道说有些老人不只是跌倒而已，他们是故意这么做的。通常他们会走到人潮涌动的街头，假装晕倒或者是直接躺在地上，想要指控那些来帮助他的人为肇事者，敲诈他们要治疗费。很多人都上当了，由于没有目击者证明他们的清白，他们被迫支付了费用。正因为这些负面新闻，人们害怕去帮助那些需要帮助的老人，也因此造成了那些真正有困难的老人没有得到及时的帮助。我曾经问我一个朋友：“为什么现在的老人变坏了?如果你在街上看到这样的老人你会帮助吗?”他说：“不是老人变坏了，是坏人变老了。我会先录像让他做一个声明，再决定是否帮助他。”

I have a dream today.

I have a dream that one day every vally shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.

Wow, what a dream it has been for Martin Luther King. But the changing world seems telling me that people gradually get their dreams lost somehow in the process of growing up, and sometimes I personally find myself saying goodbye unconsciously to those distant childhood dreams.

However, we meed dreams. They nourish our spirit; they represent possibility even when we are dragged down by reality. They keep us going. Most successful people are dreamers as well as ordinary people who are not afraid to think big and dare to be great. When we were little kids, we all dreamed of doing something big and splashy, something significant. Now what we need to do is to maintain them, refresh them and turn them into reality. However, the toughest part is that we often have no ideas how to translate these dreams into actions. Well, just start with concrete objectives and stick to it. Don’t let the nameless fear confuse the eye and confound our strong belief of future. Through our talents, through our wits, through our endurance and through our creativity, we will make it.

Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly. Hold fast to dreams, for when dreams go, life is a barren field frozen with snow. So my dear friends, think of your old and maybe dead dreams. Whatever it is, pick it up and make it alive from today.

Britain is a rich and varied, with international and multi-cultural society, to welcome students from all over the world come here to learn and to value their contributions.

Britain is a tolerant, democratic society, where different political views and beliefs are respected. You will find many people wearing and eating habits and you do not have their own different major cities around the world have sales of snack food, meat from an Islamic shop, the Islamic meat from the shop. Asia to sell fruit and rice kind of Jewish food store to store, everything.

In different towns and cities, the year has a variety of activities to celebrate the worlds major religious festivals and activities, for example, in the city of Leicester at the Stradivari outside the Indian sub-section is the most spectacular Festival of Lights.

Britain itself from England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, they have different characteristics and personality.

Britain from all over the world to accept immigrants and refugees has a long history, many people have been here for permanent settlement. London may be the largest gathering of minority British city, other cities also have a large number of minority residents.

Success, as is known, is the pursuit of many ambitious people. It requires much of a person.

In my  above all, one should be a person of strong perseverance. Rome was not built in a day. On our long way to success, there are  undoubtedly many difficulties standing in the way. If we lose heart and give up

halfway, nothing can be achieved. Throughout history, we havehad many famous successful people in the world, of whom no one is weak-minded. Take the great American scientist Edison as an example, he tried experiment after experiment and had one failure after another before he finally invented the bulb, which lighted up the whole world. So we can conclude perseverance can surely be one of the secrets of success. Furthermore, one needs to work hard to realize his dream just as the famous saying goes “Hard work leads to success”.

Look at these around us and we’ll find diligent people are always the favor of our society. They usually achieve more than expected. Why do so many of our classmates of average intelligence go far ahead of othersHard work is definitely supposed to be the answer. And still, I hold that one must keep in pace with the informative world. There’s no denying that our world is changing every day. So one can never be locked alone inside his own room, doing his research work and dedicated to book knowledge

How can an isolated person be well-informed enough to go ahead of othersIf so, that could be ridiculous. Success is what one desires. So long as one is perseverant, hard working and up-to-date, I am sure success is near at hand

在花园里、树林里，环境有许多的变化，比如：草变绿了，花变红了，树变多了，水变清了，草变少了，尾气变多了……

In the garden, the forest environment, there are many changes, such as: the grass is green, the flowers red, the trees become more, the water clear, grass less gas, more......

我先去访问了一下姑姑，姑姑说："我们家前面以前的小花园，花特别多，但在最近，许多花都枯死了，有的已经被摘了，不过有些人还在种树、种花，绿化花园。”

Im going to visit your aunt, aunt said: "before the small garden in front of our house, spend much more special, but in recent years, many flowers withered, and some have been picked up, but some people are planting trees, flowers, green garden."

我再去访问了一下爸爸，爸爸说："在姑姑家前面的西桥的下面有一条大河，以前那里河水很清澈，像镜子一样。就因为乱丢垃圾、乱排污水、洗涤……因此河水变得很混浊、很黑、很臭，河里的小鱼小虾也无法生存了。”

I went to visit my dad, dad said: "there is a river in front of the aunt of the West Bridge, where before the water is clear, like a mirror. Because littering, indiscriminate discharge of sewage, washing...... Therefore, the river becomes very muddy, very black, very smelly, river shrimp and small fish cannot survive."

我们应该做到保护环境、绿化环境、人人都能关心起来，才能让我们的环境更优美，大自然更加美丽。

We should do Protect environment, greening the environment, everyone can care about, to make our environment more beautiful, more beautiful nature.

As we all know, a better result of study can be brought by a better study environment. As a result, it is necessary for us to build the green campus. The green campus can not only provide a good environment for our study, but also be a part of build the harmonious society.

The green campus is not only the environmental being green, but also the sprite being green, which means we should do other things like helping each other or caring each other. Therefore, we should both beautify the campus environment and create a campus culture.

As middleschool students, we enjoy the campus time while we have responsibility to build our green campus. In spiritual term, we should respect teachers, classmates and other people work for the school. In environmental term, we should have good habits to keep campus in a clean surrounding.

我们都知道,一个更好的研究结果可以带来一个更好的学习环境。因此,我们有必要建立绿色校园。绿色校园不仅能提供一个良好的环境对我们的学习,而且是构建和谐社会的一部分。

绿色校园不仅是绿色的环境,还被绿色的精灵,这意味着我们应该做其他的事情互相帮助和互相关心。因此,我们应该美化校园环境和校园文化。

作为中学学生,我们享受校园时我们有责任来建设我们的绿色校园。在精神上的术语,我们应该尊重老师,同学和其他人在学校工作。在环境来看,我们应该有好的习惯来保持校园在一个干净的周围。

Parents are the people who care about us the most. But for a lot children,

they think it is necessary for parents to give them everything. As they grow up,

they start to realize their responsibility and feel grateful to their parents. I

was very naughty before. One day, I hanged out to play with my friends very

late, but I havent told my parents, because I thought they would not care. But

when I went home, I found my parents and uncle were sitting together, and they

looked very upset. When my parents saw me, they were angry to ask me why I went

home so late. I felt unhappy and shouted at them. Then my uncle told me that my

parents worried about me so much, and they had searched me for the whole street.

At this moment, I felt so touched, and felt their love.

Last year, I went to Guang Zhou in the summer vacation. I felt so excited, it took me about four hours to get there. In the daytime, the air was so stuffy and the sun was so hot, so my friends and I decided to take a rest in the hotel. When the sun almost got down, we started to go on the street, the first thing was to find something to eat. There were so many delicious snacks, we had no idea which to eat, so we planed to eat as much as we could. I found myself couldn’t stop eating, the food was tasted. After we finishing eating, we started to go shopping.Guang Zhou is famous for the foreign trade, its clothes are fashionable and cheap. We went to the shopping street, trying on all kinds of clothes, at last, we bought many clothes. This trip is so unforgettable to me.

去年暑假，我去广州旅游。我感到很兴奋，我花了大约四个小时到那里。白天，空气很闷，太阳很大，所以我的朋友和我决定去旅馆休息。当太阳将要下山了，我们开始逛街，第一件事就是找东西吃。街上有很多美味的小吃，我们不知道吃什么好，因此我们计划尽可能多吃。我无法停止下来，食物太美味了。吃完以后，我们开始购物，广州的外贸很出名，衣服时尚，价格便宜。我们去了购物街，试了各种各样的衣服，最后，我们买了很多衣服。这趟旅程对我来说是很难忘的。

In Chinese culture, it is every childs duty to return their parents as

they grow up. The children know their duty and they work hard to give parents a

better life. As a child, I was grateful to my parents as they gave me all their

love, so I made up my mind that I must earn a lot of money and then I could pay

back my parents money. But as I grew up, I realized that money was not that

only way I could return my parents. Whats more, my parents dont care about my

money, and they just want to spend more time with me. When I grow up, I will

move out and probably live far away from them. At that time, if I come home

often, they will be happy. I think every parent just want care from their

children.

I’m a dog lover, because dogs are tame, friendly and easy to communicate

with. I have kept one in my house, whose name is Chocolate. She is covered with

brown curly hair and looks like a Teddy Bear. Now we have been living together

for two years, so I’m very familiar with her characteristics. When she is

hungry, she often barks loudly. At that time, I begin to realize that it’s time

to feed her. She is keen on beef and fish. Sometimes, she also eats some

rice.

Every day when I come home, she always jumps up to me happily, with her

tail moving. She seems to be my best friend. As time goes by, the relationship

between us becomes closer and closer. Therefore, I think her as an important

member in my family. I really have the pleasure of her company.

From the sixteenth of January to the seventh of February is our Winter

Holiday. I think everybody did a lot of things in the Winter Holiday. But I

didnt. Let you to listen to my story of Winter Holiday.

I spend a lot of time on the homework… Every day in my Winter Holiday，I

always got up late. Then I listened to the tape，it was nine oclock. Then I ate

breakfast and then I did my homework during the daytime!I’m not very slow but

the homework was too heavy!

Im unlucky on the playing too. I played firecracker but I hurt my finger

with the fire. Im careless to kindle the firecracker，so Im very unlucky.

I still unlucky on my friends party. In the morning，I wanted to get up

early but I woke up at 10：50. After ten minutes，the party would start! So I only

eat a piece of bread then I go to my friend’s home!And I stay at his home for a

long time when I came home. My mother and father were very angry and they

scolded me!

Im worried and feel unlucky on my weigh. Last term，I was 48 kilogram but

now I am 51 kilogram!I must to do banting!

But most important，I have gone to Shanghai Ocean Aquarium，I want to go

there very much because I want to see the horse，the monkey…in the sea. Now Ive

done it . It is a bright dot in my Winter Holiday.

Mother, it is we are thankful people was born. Who is how many years, every day in the laundry to cook for us, who are both in sorching summer, or in the snow after send us to school, and hurried off to work, who is lets us grow from day to day in her arms, and she is getting old, who has raised us, but I do not wish for any return. Is mother! Life, some people are looking for a mothers love, but dont ignore the ubiquity of maternal love!

Remember the night I was only five years old, it was raining, I have a fever, my father on a business trip is not at home, mother picked up I will go to the hospital, my mother in the hospital a night didnt sleep a wink, eyes staring at the bottle of intravenous drip, until my fever is gone, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then my mother again give me water, and to buy me a delicious. Looked at his mother busy figure, I secretly in my heart swear: must study hard repay mother.

Another time, just learning English month, I had to 81 points, the bottom of the class. In the face of such scores, I would be ready to get training, returned home after mother knew, not only not scold me, comfort me, dont lose heart, and now the English course at the beginning, as long as you listen more from now on, read more, write more, practice more. Performance will improve soon. Mother said. This time is I overlooked your English study, later I accompany you a piece of learning. This situation really than scold me, hit me also makes me uncomfortable. From then on, no matter how busy mom, always "nutrition" for me, everything comes to him who waits, the mid-term exam, I achieved good scores of 95 points.

Mother, you have to use solid arms hold up a piece of blue sky for me, when I am frustrated fall, is the care you with infinite comfort me, encouraged me, so I can stand up again. Today, I will use my growing plump wings for you -- -- my mother from the rain.

母亲，是我们一出生都值得感恩的人。多少个岁月，是谁每天起早贪黑的为我们洗衣做饭，是谁无论在炎炎夏日，还是在冰天雪地送我们上学之后，又匆匆赶去上班，是谁让我们在她的臂弯一天天成长，而她却一天天变老，是谁养育了我们，却不求任何的回报。是母亲!生活中，有些人在寻找着母爱，却不忽略了无处不在的母爱!

记得5岁那年的一天晚上，天下着雨，我发烧了，父亲出差不在家，母亲抱起我就去医院，在医院里妈妈一宿没合眼，两眼一直盯着瓶子里的点滴，直到我的发烧退了，妈妈才长舒了一口气。接着妈妈又是给我喂水，又是给我买好吃的。看着妈妈忙碌的身影，我暗暗在心里发誓：一定要努力学习报答妈妈。

还有一次，刚学英语月考时，我只得了81分，全班倒数几名。面对这样的分数，我做好了挨训的准备，回到家妈妈知道后，不但没有训我，反而安慰我，不要灰心，现在英语这门课刚开始，只要你从现在开始多听，多读，多写，多练习。成绩会提高很快。妈妈还说。这段时间是我忽略了你的英语学习，以后我陪你一块学。这情景真比骂我，打我还令我难受。从那以后，妈妈不管多忙，总是为我“补充营养”，功夫不负有心人，期中考试时，我取得了95分的好成绩。

母亲，您曾用坚实的臂弯为我撑起一片蓝天，当我受到挫折跌倒时，是您用无限的关怀安慰我，鼓励我，使我能重新站起来。而今，我也要用我日益丰满的羽翼为您————我的妈妈遮风挡雨。

Today, my mother burned to eat my favorite braised fish. I witnessed the mother fish fish washing process.

Mother first ready material: carp, onions, ginger, garlic, sugar, soy sauce, coriander, rice wine, salt, cooking oil and green pepper.

These materials are ready, my mother began to wash the fish. She saw a knife to scale, and then remove the fish gills, and fish bubble remain in the belly, to puncture the bubble of fish, the fish maw with black all the debris removed, cleaned the fish, fish evenly in a few designated marks I can spare.

Mother heated the pot, when smoking pot when the oil poured into a little, let the pot coated with a layer of oil, then add a small amount of cooking oil, fry after a good wash pot Add the fish and then release into some rice wine, so you can remove the fish smell, adding a teaspoon of sugar, a small amount of soy sauce.fish can be a color, then start adding cold water, let the fish submerged in water, adding green onions, ginger, garlic, pepper and salt, and then after the fire to boil, to low heat, boil 40 minutes, adding parsley, Finally, a pot of tasty braised fish cooking in her mother under the care of.

Smell this fragrance, I salivate. I quickly pick up the chopsticks, a small dip at juice, ah, how good you and incense and soft and slippery, so together with color, flavor and taste a whole food ah!

There are varied ways of defining tourism. Some people regard it as a pollution-free industry; others think of it an invisible school, Both are based on an accepted fact that tourism cannot only produce profits bearing no pollution along with, but help broaden knowledge and fortify healthy. Aside from the above there exists awidespread theory, claiming that whatever is of the ability to increase in capital belongs to productive industry. In this sense, tourism should hold a position in the scope and ought to be treated as such.

It is true that there is some sense in the theory, yet another equally or even more important aspect should be granted more publicity to. Tourism, in terms of its objective purposes, has a social function which contributes to human communication. Coming from vadous social backgrounds, having motives and goals of every kind, tourists get together, draw close and exchange ideas of their own, from which a fresh state of mind will be created. So what kind of production is it? To the question we should have good reason to give a proper answer: it is a spirit production, a reproduction of relations of production. And the more frequently such exchanges are made, the more good they will do to promoting social and economic development of the mutual. If it is the case that making money through tourism means a dent we have made, so it foretells a fortune to provide cultural service along with tourism. Therefore, to keep close eyes on the latter involves changing our minds first, that is, tourism is by no means a pure economic concept, but takes plenty of ideological activities as its content.

To sum up, unlike other economic forms, the profits from tourism economy cannot be measured completely by means of how much output value, profit, and foreign exchange it will produce. In addition to the reputation of pollution-free industry, its social and far-reaching profit should be probed more deeply. As such the existing scenic spots ought to be kept in good maintenance, and some new ones exploited. Moreover, constructing first-class soft and hard surroundings is desired to attract tourists, the foreign and the domestic.

有不同的方式定义旅游。一些人认为这是一个无污染的产业;其他人则认为它的一个看不见的学校,都是基于一个公认的事实,旅游不能只一起产生利润轴承没有污染,但帮助拓宽知识和增强健康。除了上述存在awidespread理论,声称任何增加资本的能力属于生产行业。从这个意义上讲,旅游业应该在范围和位置应该被视为这样的人。

确实有某种意义上的理论,另一个同样甚至更重要方面应该给予更多的宣传。旅游,在客观方面的目的,有一个社会功能,有助于人际交往。来自vadous社会背景,动机和目标的,游客聚在一起,走近和交换自己的想法,这将会创建一个新的心境。那么什么样的生产是吗?这个问题我们应该有充分的理由给予一个合适的答案:它是一种精神生产,生产关系的再生产。而这些交流越频繁,越好他们会相互的促进社会和经济发展。如果它是通过旅游途径赚钱的情况下削弱我们,所以它预示财富提供文化服务以及旅游。因此,为了保持密切关注后者涉及先改变我们的思想,也就是说,旅游绝不是一个纯经济的概念,但需要大量的思想活动,其内容。

总之,与其他经济形式,旅游经济的利润不能完全通过测量输出值多少,利润和外汇就会产生。除了无污染的行业的声誉,其社会和深远的利润应该更深入地探索。因此现有景区应该保持良好的维护,和一些新的剥削。此外,建设一流的软、硬需要环境来吸引游客,外国和国内。

I was born in an ordinary family, but the love my parents gave me made me

feel that I was the happiest girl in the world. Before I went to middle school,

my parents decided to let me live in the hometown, where I spent the good time.

I was surrounded by green trees and clean water. Every day, I would play funny

games with my friends. When I went to middle school, I left hometown and moved

to the city to live with my parents. I needed to focus my attention to study.

Every night, my father would check my homework and if I had questions, he would

help me to solve them. My mother always made delicious dessert for us. When I

finished homework, we ate them together and talked happily. I had the good time

of my childhood.

It was already late when we set out for the next town, fifteen miles away on the other side of the hills. It got dark soon; we drove fast along the narrow winding road that led to the hills. Wecouldntidentify any sign of the town marked on the map. Suddenly the car stopped. We had run out of petrol. Therefore, although we had little food with us, we decided to spend the night in the car.

在我们动身前往下一个镇的时候已经很晚了，那个镇在山的另一边离我们十五英里远。天黑得很快;我们沿着狭窄曲折的道路往山上的方向把车开得飞快。我们在地图上找不到去那个镇的任何标志。汽车突然停了下来。我们的汽油用完了。所以，虽然我们只有一点点食物，我们还是决定在车里过夜。

Our meal finished very soon. I went to sleep at once. But my companion Bill who was a poor sleeper went for a walk up the hills. From the top of the hill he saw the lights of the town we were looking for. We unloaded all our luggage and pushed the car to the top of the hill at once. Then we went back to the luggage, loaded the car again and set off down the hill. We reached the town less than a quarter, and found a hotel quite easily.

我们的晚餐很快就吃完了。我马上去睡觉。但我的同伴比尔睡眠质量不太好所以他就到山上去散步。从山顶上他看到我们正在寻找的镇的灯光。我们马上卸下我们所有的行李，把车推到山顶。然后我们回去拿行李，把它装到车上之后就下山了。不到一刻钟我们就到达镇了，并且很快就找到一个酒店。

How an exhausting day!

多么疲惫的一天啊!

We are living in a globalized world and the cross—cultural communications are increasing nowadays. In other words，we have never been so closely connected with each other in the human histories. As a philosopher has pointed out，nobody is an isolated island. If we want to have a bright future，we need more cooperation for the development. Therefore，team spirit is very important. It is an bility that people can understand each other and cooperate with each other for the successful completion of some important tasks. We need such kind of ability in particular during the globalization for several reasons.

我们生活在全球化的世界中，跨文化交流越来越常见。换句话说，在人类历史中，我们还没有如此紧密地链接在一起。就如一位哲学家所说的，没有人与外界孤立。如果我们想拥有广阔的未来，我们需要合作。所以，团队的精神非常重要。为了重大目标的完成，我们需要互相协作。在全球化的背景下，我们需要某种特殊的能力。

First of all，team spirit offers us a platform where we can operate our collective talent to work out thebest. Only when we work effectively together can we have the best chance to get the success. Taking the 2008 Beijing Olympics for example，I think the success of the event first goes to the superb team spirit of the organizers and millions of volunteers. So many people work hard and cooperate well for the single aim and the solitary goal：an exceptional Olympics for the whole world. A lot of student volunteers in Beijing are committed and work tirelessly during the hot summer. History has witnessed their brilliant teamwork and valuable contributions. What is more,team spirit is quite useful for personal career.

首先，团队精神提供了我们一个平台，这个平台能够集聚所有人的力量。只有我们努力协作，我们才有可能成功。就拿2008年北京奥运会为例，我认为事件的成功来源于上百万志愿者的协作和团队精神。所以，许多人为了单一目标而协作努力：为全世界奉献了精彩的奥运会。在炎热的夏天，许多志愿者努力工作。历史见证了他们的团队合作，以及卓越贡献。更重要的是，团队精神对于个人的发展也是有意义的。

As young students，we must learn the core and sharpen our skills in the team. If you work in a company，most of the time you have to finish or design a huge project with your colleagues. Each person can contribute their wisdom to the completion of the task. You cannot do it so well single—handedly. When we watchthe Olympic Games on TV， we are so amazed by the excellent performances of the players. If they want to win the gold medals，they must compete as one person and exercise their own part well for the whole success. So we can say the team spirit is the secret of success.

作为一名年轻学生，我们必须学会在团队中锻炼自己的能力。如果你在一家公司工作，那么绝大部分的时间你都必须与其他同事完成重要的设计任务。每个人都为这一目标献出了自己的智慧。你不可能单枪匹马。当我在电视机前观看奥运会比赛时，我们对运动员的出色表现而惊叹不已。如果他们想夺取金牌，为了目标，他们必须通力合作。所以，团队精神是成功的秘诀。

Finally,team spirit is the symbol of national power and strength. As we all know, the Chinese delegationhas won the most medals during the 2008 Olympics and all Chinese people are so proud of our country. Another example is the touching power of the team spirit in the Sichuan earthquake. We were moved by the perseverance and persistence of the rescue workers，who were eager to help their compatriots.

最后，团队精神是国家富强和力量的象征。众所周知，中国代表团在2008年奥运会上奖牌总数第一，中国人无不为此而骄傲。另一个体现团队精神的例子是四川地震。我们被救援人员的坚韧和顽强品质所感染，他们不惜生命的代价抢救伤员。

In conclusion，team spirit is an important ability and skill in the 21th century because we are all facedwith the globalization and the question of how to live better. Therefore，we must learn to work well in the team and let the team spirit guide us to success.

总结，团队精神是21世纪最重要的能力和技能，因为我们都处在全球化的大背景之下，我们的问题时如何生活得更好。所以，我们必须通力协作，只有团队精神才能让我们取得成功。
