This is the first diary I’m writing in the youth summer camp.

Everything is new to me, new class, new teachers and new classmates. My

classmates are all good students and they can speak English well. I think I can

learn a lot from them, and I can make friends with them.

The teacher from china is full of emotion when giving a class. And her

class is very interesting. To my surprise our foreign teacher can speak chinese

very well, but in my opinion, her class is a little boring. She should have made

the class more active.

Compared to my school, Zhejiang University seems so big that it takes us a

few minutes to commute between the classroom and cafeteria.

I wish myself good luck and have a good holiday here!

这是我在青年夏令营写的第一篇日记。

一切对我来说都是新鲜的，新的班级，新的老师和新的同学。我的同学都是好学生，他们英语讲得很好。我想我可以从他们身上学到很多，我可以和他们交朋友。

这位来自中国的老师讲课时感慨万千。她的课很有趣。令我惊讶的是，我们的外教汉语讲得很好，但在我看来，她的课有点无聊。她本该让全班更活跃。

与我的学校相比，浙江大学似乎太大了，我们从教室到食堂之间要花上几分钟的时间。

祝自己好运，在这里度过一个愉快的假期!

随着期末考试的结束，我们进入了期盼已久的寒假时间，开始了充实的寒假生活。

放假的第一天早上，我满怀欣喜地睁开眼睛，但一看闹钟，我慌了手脚，呀!都九点多了!但我又突然想起已经放假了，想完我又躺在温暖的被窝中睡回笼觉，放假的感觉多好啊!多么的惬意呀。

吃过早饭，我在书桌上开始一天的“课程”我先是在《海底两万里》的故事情节中遨游，从一开始怪物的出现，我感到十分惊奇，到作者被邀请去抓捕这只独角鲸时，我和作者一样，也是带着一探究竟的心意，接着往下读可是叮铃铃，闹钟响了，我规定的读书时间用完了，我不甘心的合上书本，像别人从我手中抢走了什么心爱的宝贝似的。但我又转身投入到数学的题海中，我思考着一道道难题，不停的演算，一个个正确答案被我欣喜的写上，接下来是我规定的英语时间，我要在这段时间里读单词，写单词，预习下册的英语课程，这期间是枯燥而乏味的，但我仍不疲的读着背着。

家里一天天像这样一样过着，在每天学习完课程之后，我还有时间放松一下，未曾想，时间这么快，一眨眼到了春节。

这天，我本像原来一样睡眼朦胧的起床，但却意识到今天是一个与众不同的节日，一年一度的春节。我像以前一样写着作业学习着课程，终于傍晚来了，爸爸妈妈欢喜得往车上搬着东西，我和妹妹在车上耐心的等待，想象着到爷爷家之后的快乐。

经过一阵忙活，爸爸妈妈终于搬完了东西，开始驱车向爷爷家前进，到爷爷家之后，姑姑和弟弟也来了，我们在一起欢快的玩耍。

时间从不因人而异，他一直慢慢的走着，眨眼间又到了庙会开始的时间，那天街上很多人，每个人脸上都洋溢着不可言语的快乐，我们都这段心情料好像要把整街的欢乐景象都尽收眼底。我们每个人欢乐的享受着这段时光。

时光飞逝，转眼间又要开学了，我心中盼望着每个同学，真想快点开学。这不时间实现了我的希望。马上就要开学了。

回顾这个假期，这真是一个充足的假期，充足的寒假生活。

they live in and appeal to the governments at all levels to take effective

measures to reduce the crime rate.

如今犯罪发生率在我国众多城市呈现出上升趋势。许多公民常常抱怨在他们生活的地方，偷窃和抢劫常发生。他们希望各级政府能采取有效措施来减少犯罪发生率。

Faced with criminals, some people are so frightened that they shamelessly

give up the fight and other people turn a blind eye to them. However, some

people are brave enough, to risk their lives to fight the criminals.Their

fearless actions prevented the criminals from doing evils, saved the victims,

reward those who fight criminals. It is also important to call on people to

learn from those heroes and encourage more people to stand up to crime.

下面该说象棋了，当我觉得无聊时，就和弟弟下棋。如果打成平局，我还要再来一次。要是我赢了，我一蹦三尺高。要是我输了，我就找我的快乐宠物古筝谈(弹)心去了。

该说我的快乐宠物了，我学古筝两年半，弹的还不错，比赛中还得了二等奖呢!羡慕吗?画画就不说了。

“五一”黄金周期间，我和爸爸妈妈一起去仙居的神仙居游玩，投入大自然的怀抱去领略大自然的美景。

车开到神仙居大门，大家就下车走路了。在书本里，我早就听说过神仙居风景区是国家AAAA保护风景区，那里的一山一水、一崖一洞、一石一峰都能自成一格，有不类他山，异乎寻常，出人意料，匪夷所思的景观形态，故名思意就是仙人居住的地方。一路上，我就想马上见到它的真面目，心里非常激动，觉得浑身有使不完的劲。

当我来到“北天门”下时，抬头一看，山峰直耸蓝天，又感觉像一座摩天大厦，多巍峨呵！果然名不虚传。大家沿着一条崎岖的小路登山。刚上山我一直冲在前面，和伙伴们说说笑笑，可爬到半山腰时，渐渐地我的双脚有些不听使唤了，爸爸妈妈的脚步虽然慢了许多，但已经慢慢地赶上来了。好累啊，要是我能飞起来那该多好啊。我不禁开起了小差。旁边的导游好像看穿了我的心思，好几次停下来对我说“小朋友，累吗，需要搀一把吗？上面大峡谷里可有仙人喝的水呀，上不去就喝不到啦。”“登山还要人搀？要是让同学们知道，岂不很失面子？”心里想着，就咬咬牙对导游阿姨说：“没事，我能行，我一定能第一个到达目的地。”我自己给自己打气，就增强了前进的动力，离目标越近，路也就越好走，我撑着栏杆登攀着。这样，我汗流浃背地爬了近1个小时，终于登上了顶峰，看到了美丽的天池，在那里大家还喝了仙人喝的“仙水”。站在峰巅，眼前变得开阔起来。瞧！轻纱似的云雾缠绕在半山腰，山脚下的村庄、田野、小溪、树木……在云雾中若隐若现，太美了！大家如同置身于仙境中。

下山时大家还看到了天池飞瀑，那飞瀑真如李白所写的“飞流直下三千尺，疑是银河落九天。”的感觉，由于天热，瀑布的水飘到身上，那感觉好爽啊，据说飞天瀑落差有100米，大风吹起瀑布随风左右摆动，最大的副度达20米，望过去就像仙女身上迎风飘舞的青纱带。听说这个瀑布还有一大特点，就是当水量比较小，风也不大的时候，如果大家站在底下对着瀑布大声喊，瀑布受大家声波的影响时急时缓，宛如被惊吓的小姑娘。在瀑布下，大家几个小伙伴，嘻戏，玩耍，照相留念，玩得不亦乐乎。

这里真不愧是“仙人”居住的地方啊，这次“五一”之旅实在是太值了！

The vacation life, like to go to the seaside to pick up shells, leisurely and carefree, light of heart from care. The vivid picture of the curtain is still in the eye, &hellip of endless taste; … remember that day … …

In the song of the bird, I got up early. Today, I made an appointment with my partner to skate.

On the ground, I see: people are so many! They are swimming in this lovely and colorful world like fish. Some gentle stretching arms, gently, like light swallow in search of switchgrass rotation, fast; some turn, like dazzling dancers in the dance; some fear, were unable to take a step, like a lovely bear in the snow to play & hellip; … I love here! Although the South can not see the real snow, not throw a snowball, snowball fights, play skiing; but I have put this as a white fairy tale world. Here, I can dance to my youth and shake the sweat freely.

Its time for me to play. Im particularly excited because Im a beginner. I was helped by my partner and stood up slowly. Friends let me go round the handrail. My hand grasped the iron rod tightly and moved forward step by step. How hard it is! So careful, I still cant control the feet. The feet were involuntarily “ eight word ” a few steps were slipped out continuously. “ recycling, recycling — — ” I was crying in my heart. The more hasty the step was, the more disorderly I saw, and I fell out. “ ha ha, really like a turtle Prime Minister bang jump! ” the laughter of the partner. I turned back in a bad sense. Some friends, some laugh can not stand, some laugh straight foot.

How time flies. This term ends quickly and the winter holiday is coming. I make a general plan for it. Firstly, my teachers leave us some homework, so I must earnestly finish them on time.

I plan to finish them before the Spring Festival, and then I can enjoy the festival with all my heart. Secondly, I will spend some time with my friends. Generally, we study together but have little time to play.

During the holiday, we want to have fun together. Finally, I will visit my grandparents with my parents, and then we will spend the Spring Festival with them. I haven’t seen them for a long time. I miss them very much.

This is my winter holiday plan. What is yours?

时间过得真快!这个学期马上就要结束了，寒假即将开始。我制定了一个大概的寒假计划。首先，老师们给我们布置了寒假作业，所以我要先认真地按时完成作业。

我打算在春节前完成，这样我就可以全心全意过新年了。其次，我会抽些时间和我的朋友们待在一起。平时，我们一起学习但是很少有时间去玩。放假期间，我们想一起玩乐。最后，我会和爸爸妈妈去看爷爷奶奶，然后和他们一起过年。我有很长时间没见过他们了，很想念他们。

这就是我的寒假计划，你的寒假计划是什么呢?

A poet leads me to a branch road: on one side, there are lots of sweet

apples, lovely and charming; on the other, there is a patch of thorn, what hides

behind the success of struggling against the thorn is a splendid palace. I

deeply know that if I choose the apples, I will give up a precious opportunity

of becoming a queen; While if I choose to challenge, I have to say farewell to

the apples. Which one should I choose?

Just like the branch road, we have to make a lot of choices during our

lifetime. It is usually considered that we are choosing what to gain, to own,

but in my opinion, we are just choosing to give up.

Choosing to be a teacher means giving up the life as rich as a business

man;

Choosing to be a top student means giving up much leisure time in front of

the TV.

Sure, it’s a torture, but we must judge carefully what is more important,

then give up the others. Don’t think of them any more, just focus all your

spirit on what you are doing.

I myself, who is standing here, have already chosen to challenge in such a

great competition, so I have to give up ten days of normal classes in school and

relaxation without pressure. But I am still pleased, because giving up properly

makes me stick to my choice.

Let’s return to our branch road, which one will your choose? I choose to

challenge here!

一位诗人把我引到一个岔路口：一边是甘甜的苹果，鲜艳而诱人;另一边是一条荆棘之路，但隐藏在与荆棘搏斗的成功之后是一座富丽的宫殿。我深深地明白：如果我选择那些苹果，我将失去一个可能成为女王的良机，与此同时，如果我选择挑战那些荆棘，那会很艰辛，而且我又必须与可爱的苹果告别，我该选择哪一个呢?

正如这个岔路口一般，生活中的我们面临多种选择。人们通常认为，我们在选择去获得什么，拥有什么，但在我看来，我们在选择放弃什么。

选择作一名老师意味着放弃了像商人一样奢华富有的生活。

选择作一名顶尖学生意味着放弃了许多在电视机前的闲暇时间。

当然，放弃的选择是一种苦难，但我们必须用心审度，什么对自己来说更为重要，做出选择，然后放弃其他，不要再回首想那些已放弃的东西，把精力集中于你正在做的事。

站在这里的我，已选择了在这样大规模的比赛中挑战自我，所以我必须放弃十天的正常功课和没有压力的轻松感。但我依然高兴，因为适宜的放弃弃之后，我更加专注于自己的选择。

让我们回到那个岔路口吧，你会选择哪一个呢?我，选择挑战此地!

The summer holiday is coming. It is a great time to do something interesting.

In fact ，here are lots of surprise waiting for you. Of course，if you want to miss it. What fling time in the library!

今天我上网做英语假期作业，我下定决心一定要得个满分给妈妈和爸爸看。

首先点击假期作业，开始玩“疯狂游戏机”啦，它的图案是一个马蜂，我想要是写错了肯定有一些马蜂来顶我吧！再点击一下，哦！原来游戏规则是：我们要按照电脑报出来的句子来按顺序点击它给你的单词。我心想这玩意儿可真难玩：有好几个重复的，而且还不好点击。后来我发现重复的当中，原来还有字首大小写的区别。掌握了这一点就很好玩了。几分钟，我就将它们一举攻下！最后数据给我了一个出人意料的成绩：114分。满分耶！呵呵！其实英语也不是那么难学，这种玩中学的方法我喜欢。你看，上面还有全班大爆料游戏，不用学，我就玩会了，但是同学已经把我爆料了77下啦！

网上作业就是好，同学最近状态，还有在班上你的成绩排第几，都能知道。而且不像其他的英语作业，枯燥无味，一点儿新鲜感都没有，还难把单词给记住。

我喜欢做网上作业！

week-long holidays,good or bad?whats your opinion?

our national day is coming. we shall have days of rest,presumably weeklong holidays again just like the weeklong may day holidays. many people welcome weeklong holidays and are busy planning where and how to spend the seven days;whereas many other people do not applaud. as to me, weeklong holidays mean a span of dullness, boredom, melancholy and helplessness, and i think anyone who had experienced the holiday sufferings in may would share my feelings.

i well remember that from may day, to be more exact, a few days earlier than may day, the shopping season started.most shops extended their shopping hours to respond to their overwhelmingly enthusiastic customers. there were special sales with discount coupons and instant lucky draws and various sales promotions in nearly every big store to lure po tential customers into spending more. crowds of shoppers flocked towards department stores, enjoying their high purchasing power.

there were traffic jams almost everywhere, people waited in long queues at bus-stops:and taxi-stands? looking entirely exhausted.tempers flared when people gotpushed or if someone else cut the queue.impatient drivers honked at each other every now and then.

the railway station was congested with travelers who rushed to the platform like a swarm of bees and then squeezed their way into the train for seats as if there would be no tomorrow.

in the restaurants, tables were shared. a platoon of waiters filed out from the kitchen armed with various containers of eatables. orders were taken feverishly and then shouted across to the kitchen. excitement reigned everywhere as waiters ran hither and thither to fill the orders.

the above are just some vivid scenes that happened a few months ago. everywhere was chaos and chaos everywhere. i am really afraid the drama will soon be repeated.

true,weeklong holidays help activate economy, but what about after-holiday depression? no doubt, people can have a lot of leisure, but leisure does not always bring a lot of pleasure.
