It is obvious to everybody that the only way to achieve ones goal is to work hard. Just as the old saying goes no mill, no meal. Have you ever seen a man who succeeds just by idling about? Of course, the answer is No. So we know if you want to gain something, you will have pains.

The farmers harvest by a year of arduous work; the scientists gain achievements by years of devoted researches; students get good marks by working hard; even the little ants have their food by working hard day and night. 1 know there are always some people who wait for the opportunities falling on them. They may attribute their failures to lack of good chances. Therefore, there are so many people gaining nothing at last. Clever men know that the more effort they make, the bigger chance they will have to be successful.

So, when others achieve their aspirations and you still gain nothing, dont complain about the unfair fate and dont give up, either. Remember: no pains, no gains.

traditional Chinese festivals. Itfalls on the 15th day of august lunar month

every year. Our Chinese will celebrate it on that day. I think there are not too

regard mid-autumn day as very important, so no matter where they are, they will

come back to their family if there is a chance. They don’t like celebrate this

festival outside, which will make them feel lonely. Thus, they will go home by

all means. Luckily, the government also pays great attention to this traditional

festival. There are laws to make sure people have holidays in that special day.

In the other word, mid-autumn festival gives a chance for family get

together.

Secondly, every family will prepare a big meal in that day. All the food is

delicious. It is good to have a big meal. I think nobody will not interest in

delicious food. The mooncake is a necessary decoration for mid-autumn day. It

tastes good, too. It is the traditional for a long time. How pleased to enjoy

the glorious full moon with mooncake!

time.

had prepared for it for the whole summer vacation. The moment I stepped in the

school. Sometimes I felt like walking in the park. There is a big playground.

When all the students get together, it is very lively. When the sports meeting

comes, there will be all kinds of competitions, and all the students fight for

their classes. The sound of cheering for the teams can be heard around the

school. I like to walk around school after class, which makes me feel eased.

除了紧张、充实的学习生活外，我还拥有轻松、愉快的假期生活。那丰富多采的内容，充实了我的人生，也为童稚的学生生涯增添了几分乐趣与悠然。

茶余饭后去散步是我每天的必修课。漫步在小区的花草旁，呼吸着清香的空气，与花鸟作伴，欣赏着玫瑰的浓郁，百合的高洁，晚饭花的奇特，还有玉兰的娇美，美人蕉的绚丽,我会轻轻地对自己说：“生活真是美的。”我用真诚感受身边的五颜六色，用热情欣赏周围的姹紫嫣红。我不由自主地从内心发出：“我，属于大自然!”

更多地，我会一头扎进书的海洋，呼吸着书店、图书馆特有的那种书香的气味，感受漫步书海的乐趣。钻进历史的海洋，我会为秦始皇焚书坑儒的举动而激愤，为霸王别姬的悲惨而落泪，为诸葛亮“出师未捷身先死”扼腕叹息;漫步文学的殿堂，我渐渐体会到宝钗的无奈、黛玉的才华，体会到玛丽的倔强、科林的孱弱，体会到余秋雨的“晨雨初听”、钱钟书的“围城”……

To begin with, trees produce oxygen and absorb carbon dioxide, which offer

us fresh air. As greenhouse effect is getting more and more serious, planting

more trees is an effective way to respond to it.

Apart from this, it is tree that stabilizes soils and prevents them from

being eroded by floods. Besides, trees can be applied to against desert.

Moreover, trees perform the function of the regulation of air temperature and

humidity. This benefit to people’s fitting to the environment.

Last but not least, trees are a kind of material of paper making, which

makes our life and communication between people more convenient.

With the growing awareness of healthy eating， more and more people now are

paying more attention to the importance of healthy diet and an active life。 But

at the same time， a growing unrest over food safety in the China has caught

everyone’s concern。

When it es to the food safety incidents， especially 2008 Chinese milk

scandal， every consumer has much anger to pour upon them。 In September 2008， a

fresh outbreak of kidney disease occurred， due to baby formula contaminated by

melamine.Three babies died and over 6，000 were made sick by the tainted formula。

The supplier of the milk， Sanlu Group， is a name brand and is a major player in

the industry in China。 The pany is said to have known of the problem for months，

but claims the contaminant came from milk suppliers.

Who should be main responsible for these serious incidents like milk

scandal? On one hand， plex China’s food regulations should shoulder part

duties.We should realized its monitoring system can be unresponsive， and the

government departments that oversee and enforce policies have overlapping and

often ambiguous duties。 On the other， food producers and suppliers lack deserved

responsibility for consumers! What they cares is only their own interest and

profit maximization.

In my opinion ，everyone involved in it should set up a high responsibility

for others， law related should be passed and carried out.Only in this way can we

e by a healthy eating and a harmonious world.

My hometown is no strange steep mountains, also does not have the spectacular waterfalls, less famous scenic spots. But in my heart, there is a kind of beauty, a kind of indescribable beauty. A kind of elegant and not common, expensive and not every beauty; The beauty of a deep-rooted, never die; Let me is most lasting. Hometown is born I keep my place, where there is my familiar homeland; I have loved ones; My childhood, I have wonderful memories.

Home, seems to be inclusive, and then when I was frustrated, it let me enjoy the catharsis; I am happy again, it let me sing; When I was a success, it warns me proud; When I was a failure, it encouraged me dont be discouraged. As long as in my hometown, a smile, a concern greetings, sincere encouragement, can let a person feel incomparable happiness; As long as in my hometown, a bunch of beautiful flowers, a wisp of thick tender feelings, a sympathetic regrets, can let people comprehend the true meaning of personal. It found that, hometown is so warm.

Hometown, is a boating shelter, faced with difficulties, it will sincerely accept you; Home, is an umbrella when it rains, when meet danger, it will take you to keep out; Home, is one of the long drought desert on pools, twinkle when youre cornered, it also in silently for you encouragement, come on, let the sentence "all road, away from her" become a reality; Home was a sea of light, when you dont know the direction, it is right in front of guidance for you.

Home, sounds so nice. It is standing behind me in silence the backer, is when I hunger meal, is when I was ill, plaster, is the warmth of my mind most deep place. Home of the patch, ever let me step, it is so smooth. The silk hometown trickle, ever let me drink, its so sweet. Hometown of the food, feed I grew up, it is so sweet.

Dont say mountain, located in the hometown of the water, dont talk about hometown more people who do not speak hometown, alone home, can let a person silent.

我的家乡没有奇特险峻的大山，也没有雄伟壮观的瀑布，更没有远近闻名的景点。但是在我的心中，却有一种美，一种无以名状的美;一种雅而不俗、贵而不鄙的美;一种刻骨铭心、永不逝去的美;让我久久难以忘怀。家乡是生我养我的地方，那里有我熟悉的故土;有我挚爱的亲人;有我的童年、有我美好的回忆。

家乡、似乎可以包容一切，再我失意的时候、它让我尽情的宣泄;再我快乐的时候，它让我放声高歌;在我成功的时候、它警告我不要骄傲;在我失败的时候、它鼓励我不要气馁。只要在家乡，一个会声的微笑、一声关切的问候、一句真诚的鼓励、就可以让人感受到无比的幸福;只要在家乡，一束美丽的鲜花、一缕浓浓的柔情、一声同情的惋惜、都能让人感悟人身的真谛。这才发现，家乡是如此温暖。

家乡、是船泊的避风港湾，在遇到困难的时候，它还会诚心的接纳你;家乡、是下雨时的一把伞，在碰到危险的时候，有它给你遮挡;家乡、是久旱荒漠上的一汪清泉，在你走投无路的时候，它还在默默的为你鼓励、加油，让那一句“山重水复疑无路，柳暗花明又一村”成为现实;家乡还是出海时的明灯，在你不知道前进方向的时候，它还在前面正确的为你指引。

家乡，听上去还是那么亲切。它就是默默立在我后面的靠山、是我饥饿时的饭菜、是我生病时的膏药、是我心灵最深处的温暖。家乡的那寸方土，曾让我踏过，它是那么的平稳。家乡的那丝细流，曾让我喝过，它是那么甜润。家乡的那些食物，曾喂养我长大，它是那样的香甜。

不说家乡的山，也不谈家乡的水，更不讲家乡的人，就单单家乡的情，都会让人沉默。

The Chinese New Year has a great history. In our past, people lived in an agricultural society and worked all year long. They only took a break after the harvest and before the planting of seeds. This happens to coincide with the beginning of the lunar New Year.

The Chinese New Year is very similar to the Western one, rich in traditions, folklores and rituals. It has been said that it is a combination of the Western Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year. This is hardly an exaggeration!

The origin of the Chinese New Year itself is centuries old - in fact, too old to actually be traced. It is popularly recognized as the Spring Festival and celebrations last 15 days.

Preparations tend to begin a month before the date of the Chinese New Year (similar to a Western Christmas). During this time people start buying presents, decoration materials, food and clothing. A huge clean-up gets underway days before the New Year, when Chinese houses are cleaned from top to bottom. This ritual is supposed to sweep away all traces of bad luck. Doors and windowpanes are often given a new coat of paint, usually red, then decorated with paper cuts and couplets with themes such as happiness, wealth and longevity printed on them.

The end of the New Year is marked by the Festival of Lanterns, which is a celebration with singing, dancing and lantern shows.

At the Festival, all traditions are honored. The predominant colors are red and gold. "Good Wish" banners are hung from the ceilings and walls. The "God of Fortune" is there to give Hong Baos. Lion dancers perform on stage continuously. Visitors take home plants and flowers symbolizing good luck. An array of New Years specialty food is available in the Food Market. Visitors purchase new clothing, shoes and pottery at the Market Fair. Bargaining for the best deal is commonplace!
