In the young generation, their lifestyle is different from the old

peoples. They like to stay up and join many night activities, then they wake up

very late. The new expression of brunch fits them so much, which means the

people to have a meal combining with breakfast and lunch. But their health is

under threat. Some young peoples stomach hurts and cant digest food well. In

order to keep healthy, we need to do some exercise and eat food regularly.

Whats more, the balanced diet is very important, as the saying that an apple a

day, keeps the doctor away, so we need to eat properly. The healthy lifestyle

makes us live happily.

remove the computer. From now on, I should pay more attention to my study.

Autumn day， day blue， green， and wind weather; Osmanthus fragrance， harvest in the prosperous; Flowers， birds singing beautiful days， splendid home。 People rejoice YingHuai， decorating， festive red lanterns hung high — celebrating the National Day， celebrating the 54th birthday of the motherlands birthday。

The imperial palace, also known as the Forbidden City, is the imperial

palace of the Ming and qing dynasties, which is the largest and most complete

ancient architectural complex in China. I especially want to know the

architecture of ancient palaces and the living environment of ancient

emperors.

One weekend in the golden autumn, the sun is shining and the autumn wind is

crisp. My mother and I went to visit the Palace Museum in the center of the

city. I was very happy.

Enter the gate of the Forbidden City, "wow! Its so big here!" I couldnt

help it. The mother said, "the most spectacular is still in the back!" We first

visited the architectural model of the imperial palace and its construction. I

know that the imperial palace covers an area of over 720,000 square meters, with

more than 9,000 rooms, all wooden structures, and all the wooden structures have

no nails. The palace is the blue and white stone base, the tall roof, the yellow

glazed tile, the pattern of the dragon everywhere, and decorated with the

brilliant color of the golden wall. I observed all the palaces, and found that

the palaces were lined up along the north-south axis, and spread out to the

sides, to the north and south, and to the right and left. I told mom, I found

mother listen to nod a smile, said: "the central axis not only in the Forbidden

City, and nanda YongDingMen, north to the drum tower, almost throughout the

whole city. Its magnificent, well-planned and spectacular.

We have been visiting the taihe temple from the imperial garden. What a

breathtaking view! In the Forbidden City, the most striking is the "three halls"

: the hall of supreme harmony, the hall of harmony, the hall of protection and

the temple. They are all built on the 8-meter-high base of the white jade, which

looks like the qiong yuyu in the myth. The first hall of supreme harmony was the

most magnificent building. People called it the "throne room". It was the place

where the emperor held the grand ceremony. It is 28 meters high, 63 meters, 35

meters north and south, and a large pillar with a diameter of 1 meter. Among

them, six large pillars, one meter in diameter around the throne, are flat

dragon pillars of leached gold. The throne is located at the base of the two

meters high in the temple, with the graceful crane and the top of the furnace,

followed by a carefully carved screen. The whole hall is decorated with golden

walls, which are both majestic and magnificent. The hall of neutralization was

the place where the emperor went to the hall of supreme harmony to take a rest

and exercise etiquette. Baohe and the temple are the place where the emperor

gives banquet to the king of the foreign land every New Year. This is just the

palace buildings, and house decoration is numerous, the rarities of the mother

said: "these treasures is only part of it, when Chiang kai-shek fled to Taiwan

carried away many treasure palace, there are some loss in a foreign country". I

feel sorry for the loss of these treasures. When will these lost treasures

return to the embrace of the motherland? I am looking forward to the reunion of

Taiwan and mainland as soon as possible.

The visit of the Forbidden City made me linger. The Palace Museum is an

unparalleled masterpiece. It is a miracle. Our five thousand years of Chinese

culture are profound and profound, and we should be proud and proud to have

built such a magnificent palace for the ancients. At the same time, we also have

the responsibility to protect these cultural relics from destruction, so that

the five thousand years of splendid civilization of the motherland will be

handed down.

Today, I am very happy! Because its the Dragon Boat Festival today! No matter where you go, you can ask for a smell of zongzi. The streets, everywhere to buy dumplings: a small meat meat, meat, egg yolk, meat dumplings, dumplings red dates......

When asked about the fragrance of zongzi, I realized that I was hungry. "Dad! Give me a big meat!" I said. "I want it too, I want it, too!" My sister said. " Dad said, "OK!" Ok! One person, all right. " "Eee!" I said to my sister.

"Well, hmmm! This is delicious, this one is delicious! " I, mom and dad and sister repeatedly praised. Mom said, "now you eat too much, do you want to eat at noon?" I said, "hee - hee, see it at noon." "Its no way to take you!" Linda! Ha ha! " After eating, we went to play badminton.

How happy today it is! I like the Dragon Boat Festival! Oh Yeah!

I get up at seven oclock in the morning every day. After I brush my teeth

and wash face, I eat my breakfast. My mother makes the breakfast for me. I go to

school at 7:30 am, and come back from school at 6:00pm. Before I go to bed I

will do some homework. I usually go to sleep at 10:00pm. On the weekend, I will

go to play football with my friends, in the summer we like to go swimming. These

are my daily life.

I think Mid-Autumn Day is an old traditional festival in China。 Everybody

likes it because its a family get-together。 You see it is called"Mid-Autumn

Day"， so it often es in September or October。 It is on the 15th of the 8th of

the lunar month。 Now， lets say something about this interesting festival。

Firstly， Id like to say something about the moon。 I like it very much

because I want to be an astronaut in the future。 That day the moon is round，

big， just like a beautiful plate hanging on the blue cloth。 When I see the moon，

I will remember the ancient myths——the godess Chang Er and her little rabbit are

playing under the tree which Wu Gang grows。 I will also think about Armstrongs

first moonwalk。 I will also miss the friends in Tai-wan island， in Macao and

Chinese people who are abroad。 I know they are missing us very much， too。

Secondly， I11 say something about the tradition on Mid-Autumn Day。

Look!Theres a big tree in a garden of a Chinese fami-ly。 All the family members

are sitting around a big table under the tree in the open air。 They are eating

the mooncakes and admiring the full moon in the sky。 That is a family reunion

dinner。 The mooncakes and the moon represent the love from a family。 I think

this is one of the most valuable things in the world。

Thirdly，it is a very good opportunity to make three wishes on Mid-Autumn

Day。 My wishes are: the first， I， an astronaut in the future， would like to go

to the moon one day， and stay with the sky and stars; the second， I hope every

person in the world will stay with family， share love from the family forever;

the third， I hope everybodys dream will e true。

That is the Mid-Autumn Day in my mind。 I will always re-member: East or

West， home is best。

春节，一个我期待很久的日子，原本应该处处是一派快乐、热闹，到处充满欢声笑语的景象。但今年的春节，由于新型冠状病毒的肆虐，所以我只能待在家中，不可以出门，有事出门也要戴着口罩，而且爸爸妈妈每天都会提醒我要注意保暖，注意个人卫生。而在前线奋战的医生们，不知奋斗了多少个日夜，可是，新型冠状病毒好像丝毫没有退却的念头。在这几天中，不知有多少人被病毒夺去生命，不知有多少医生为了战“疫”不可以回家，还在与病毒抗争。

Spring Festival, a day Im looking forward to for a long time, should be

full of happiness, bustle and laughter. But this years novel coronavirus is so

rampant that I can only stay at home and wear masks when I go out, and my

parents remind me to keep warm and pay attention to personal hygiene every day.

The novel coronavirus seemed to have no intention of retreat, but doctors

struggled for many days and nights. In these days, I dont know how many people

have been killed by the virus, and how many doctors are still fighting against

the virus in order to fight the epidemic.

我不禁要问：“新型冠状病毒，你为什么选择了人类?为什么选择这样的日子降临人间?为什么要来伤害人类?”

What novel coronavirus, what do you choose to do with humans? What makes

such a date come to earth? Why do we want to harm human beings?

一天晚上，新型冠状病毒大胆地出现在我面前，扬起下巴轻蔑地一笑说：“你只看结果，不看经过，你知道我是怎么来的吗?我本来生活在动物身上，可是你们这些人类杀死了它们，还把它们吃了，还有人直播吃蝙蝠的过程。所以引发疾病的不是我，而是你们人类。而且我想告诉你，在这个世界上最可怕的不是狮子、老虎，而是你们人类，你们人类的嘴是一个无底洞，是永远也填不满的，你们人类贪婪、残忍，不停地伤害动物，难道你们就不害臊吗?”说完它转过身就走。我冲着病毒叫喊：“可人类也有善良的一面，在这个世界上好人一定比坏人多。”新型冠状病毒转过身来说：“人类的残忍是不可想象的，你们已经打破了生态平衡，直到现在还有人不知悔改!”我大声喊道：“你快走吧!人类已经知道错了，如果你再不走，人类总有一天会把你消灭的。”新型冠状病毒说：“我可以走，不过，如果人类再不知悔改，我的兄弟们还会再来的。”

One night, novel coronavirus boldly appeared before me. Chin lifted up and

smiled scornfully. "You only look at the results, but do not see the passage. Do

you know how I came? I was living on animal, but you humans killed them, ate

them, and someone else was eating live bats." So its not me that causes the

disease, its you humans. And I want to tell you that the most terrible thing in

the world is not the lion or the tiger, but you human beings. Your human mouth

is a bottomless hole, which is filled with discontent forever. You human beings

are greedy, cruel, and constantly hurting animals. Arent you ashamed? "After

saying it, turn around and walk away. I shouted at the virus, "but human beings

have a good side. There must be more good people than bad people in this world."

The novel coronavirus turned around and said, "the cruelty of human beings is

unthinkable. You have broken the ecological balance. Until now, there are still

no repentance!" I shouted, "go away!" the human race has already known that it

is wrong. If you do not go again, mankind will one day destroy you. The novel

coronavirus said, "I can go, but if the human beings do not know repentance, my

brothers will come again."

突然一阵铃声传来，我醒了，可新型冠状病毒说的话却还在我耳边回荡。我希望人类可以吸取此次的教训，善待地球，拒绝吃野生动物，也希望那些染上新型冠状病毒的人们快点好起来

Suddenly, novel coronavirus came back, but I still woke up in my ear.

Animal and novel coronavirus, I hope that people can learn from this lesson,

treat the earth well, refuse to eat wild animals, and hope that those who are

infected with new coronavirus will get better soon._ueditor_page_break_tag_

Since the development of the technology, the society gets modernized,

people make use of the high technology to pursue more profit. Though the

government has noticed the problem that people do to the environment, they still

can’t prevent negative result that the polluted environment brings.

Many years ago, the most prominent problem of the polluted environment is

that the river and the water were changed their color, some fish even died for

the polluted river. Now the situation becomes ever worse, lately, in the big

city, like Beijing and Shanghai, people are annoyed by the bad weather. It is

not the rainy day, but the haze around the sky, there is no way for people to

run away for it. The haze contains toxic elements, people breathe it and hurt

their bodies.

The haze problem is the result of people’s pursuit for the profit, what

people did to the environment now has been paid back by the environment. Now

people have realized the revenge from the nature is so huge, protecting the

environment is the main task. No matter how bad the environment is, people still

need to do something to fix their mistake.

I’m going to have a busy weekend! On Saturday, I’m going visit my friends

by car. Because I haven’t seen them for a long time. Then, I’m going to the

bookstore on foot. I’m going to read lots of books there. On Sunday morning, I’m

going to go for a walk. Then, in the afternoon, I’m going to go shopping with my

mother. Then, in the evening, we are going to watch TV together. That will be

fun! What about you? What are you going to do on the weekend?

As we all known，food safety problems are more and more popular in our

country，because more cases about food safety problem have appeared.

Firstly，As the old saying goes，the food is what matters to the people。 Food

plays an important role in peoples life。So food safety influences peoples

health and life。Secondly，some producers only think about earning money without

thinking about ensuring food safty。they produce unqualified food.Thirdly， some

food supervisory departpents dont perform their duty pletely。This behavior make

some producer ignore the safety of production.

If we want to solve problems that is illustrated former，we must call on the

supervisory department to manage the food market.And the producers must paly

their roles。 Lastly， we hope that there is law that punish illegal acts.

China, as a developing country, has a large gap compared with developed

countries. If we want to catch up with and even surpass the developed ones,

education seems important and should be given the first priority. Besides,

education seems the same important to individuals.

In modern time, when science and technology are making great progress, the

education of the work force is the most important. Moreover, many of the success

in advanced countries have demonstrated that a nations prosperity mainly

depends on the quality of its labor force, namely those who have been well

educated.

For individuals, education is the best way to improve oneself. Firstly,

its education thathelps people gain basic knowledge of the world, helping them

to distinguish what is right and wrong. Secondly, education improves ones

skills of life and work, which can make people live a good life or have

achievements in career. Finally, education brings people ability of learning and

that is the key role of education.

What is a good eating habit? In my opinion, a good eating habit is related

to eat healthily and regularly. To say it simply, Xiao Ming has breakfast about

7:30a.m. to 9:00a.m. every morning and lunch at noon. He also has dinner about

6:30p.m. to 7:30p.m in the evening. What he eats is healthy food, such as, meat,

vegetable, fruit, egg, milk and so on. He would not have some snacks for a meal.

He also would not eat and drink too much or eat nothing. Xiao Ming sets a good

example to have a good eating habit.

The Spring Festival is our Chinese nation from ancient to modern times, the

most cautious Chinese traditional festival, during the Spring Festival time,

always waiting for the one family reunion together, talking about the years

harvest, for the New Year filled the bright vision. The children enjoy the

tightened and joyful holidays.

Watch the Spring Festival is coming, this years mother had said but

"calligrapher" to start the project, through my huihaopomo, less than half of

rivers show signs, ushered in the" spring "; drop thousands of monforts million

festival.

国庆节妈妈带我去上海旅游。那天我很早就起了床，天灰蒙蒙还下着雨，可是我非常兴奋。上海是怎样的城市?有什么好玩的?真令人期待。

(一)滑雪

吃过中饭，旅游车把我们送到上海银七星滑雪场。银七星滑雪场是亚洲的室内滑雪场，这个滑雪场可是用了3亿元才造成的呢!

我们穿好滑雪衣和滑雪鞋，拿起滑雪杆走进滑雪场。这里面好冷啊!我抱着身子哆嗦了一下，抬头一看。里面好大啊!好像椒江的市民广场。里面的人真多啊!有的在滑雪，有的摔的四脚朝天，还有的从坡上滑了下来。

一开始我不会，看见一位大哥哥拿着滑雪杆两手用力向下推，像兔子一样快速向前滑去。我也像哥哥一样，拿起滑杆用力向下推。果然向前滑了过去。我不仅得意的瞧瞧妈妈，只见妈妈也马不停蹄的追来了。生怕我丢了。正在这时候妈妈摔了一跤，爬也爬不起来了，幸亏一个男老师把妈扶了起来。我抬头一看，许多小朋友到雪山上滑，我也想去雪山上滑一滑。我把我的想法告诉妈妈。可是妈妈说：“我脚疼，你自己上去吧!”我想：“妈妈不去，又要脱滑板，多麻烦!还不如不去，在小坡上过过瘾吧!”时间过得真快，一小时就这样没了。望着那高高的雪坡，还真有点不甘心呢!妈妈说：“下次叫爸爸带你来滑雪。”听妈妈这样说，我才恋恋不舍地离开了。

(二)夜游东方明珠

吃过晚饭，旅游车把我们送到东方明珠塔下。我站在塔下往上看，东方明珠是由三个球组成的，底层是一个大球，中间263米高处是有一个中球。塔顶是个小球，塔尖直插云霄。塔顶烟雾瞭绕。三颗圆珠像宝石一样美丽，塔身的灯光绚丽多彩。听导游介绍，东方明珠是塔高468米，是目前世界第三高塔。电梯以每秒七米的速度把我们送上了263米的高空。站在中球向下眺望。上海夜景尽收眼底。瞧，远处繁华的南京路就像美丽的银河。飞驰而过的汽车像流星闪烁。那街上的灯火就像满天闪烁的星星。近处，巨大的摩天轮好像会亮的小风车。宽阔的黄浦江好像一条狭窄的小河。黄浦江的船儿变得更小了。

多么雄伟的东方明珠，多么迷人的上海夜景。

Nine nine Chongyang， as with the "long" is a homonym， in the nine figures is the largest number， the meaning of life for a long time。 In ， our country the annual September 9 set as a festival for the elderly， cleverly combining traditional and modern， become respect for the elderly， and love for the elderly， help the elderly Festival。

This year the festival is coming。 For you， Chung Yeung Festival plan how had it? If you are a young person and Chung Yeung Festival this day you may gave the mom and dad a gift， or to travel， relax mood; or make a phone call to the home， let the warm greetings， a heart warming gift。 If you are an old man， you may have been a group of sympathy， or be invited to participate in activities。 Then Festival ended， but we do not like meishiren as the how how lead， must continue to show respect for the elderly， care for the elderly， care for the elderly。

Countries of the provisions of the Chung Yeung Festival this day is a festival for the elderly， the purpose of which is to use this to carry out activities to allow people to set up the consciousness of respecting。 The country has established a general acceptance of the festival， the important purpose is to remind the whole society for a certain thing， and not the only thing to do is to do。

Any activity that wants to be able to get the effect to be able to maintain a long enough time to show its significance。

In fact， the elderly are very simple， the park for a walk with the company， the weekend to go home for dinner， the phone call， can make them feel very satisfied and happy。

Parents should not only on this day， but also to remind himself， usually elderly care enough。 It is a year the Double Ninth Festival， from now let us more to care for the elderly， it is meaningful to the festival。

九九重阳，因为与“久久”同音，九在数字中又是最大数，有长久长寿的含意。年，我国把每年的九月九日定为老人节，传统与现代巧妙地结合，成为尊老、敬老、爱老、助老的老年人的节日。

今年的重阳节即将来临。对于你来说，重阳节计划怎么过呢?如果你是年轻人，重阳节这天你可能是送给了爸爸妈妈一份礼物，或者带他们出门旅游，放松心情;或者给家里打了一个的电话，让温馨的问候，成为暖心的礼物。如果你是老人，可能受到了一些组织的慰问，或者被邀请去参加活动。然后节日结束了，但是大家千万不要像没事人一样该怎么过就怎么过，一定还要继续尊敬老人，爱护老人、关心老人。

国家把重阳节这一天规定为敬老节，目的是用这种开展活动的方式来让人们树立尊老敬老的意识。国家设立一个社会普遍接受的节日，重要的目的在于提醒全社会对于某件事情的关注，而不是这件事情只有到了节日才想起来做。

任何一个希望能够获得效果的活动都要维持足够长的时间才能显示出它的意义来。

其实，老人们要求很简单，公园散步的陪伴、周末回家的晚餐、电话的问候，都能让他们感到无比的满足与幸福。

孝敬老人不仅仅要在重阳节这天，而且要时常提醒自己，平时对老人关心得够不够。又是一年重阳节，从现在开始就让我们更多地去关爱老人吧，那才是有意义的重阳节。

Far and away the most important holiday in China is Spring Festival, also

known as the Chinese New Year.

To the Chinese people it is as important as Christmas to people in the

West.

The dates for this annual celebration are determined by the lunar calendar

rather than the Gregorian calendar, so the timing of the holiday varies from

late January to early February.

To the ordinary Chinese, the festival actually begins on the eve of the

lunar New Year‘s Day and ends on the fifth day of the first month of the lunar

calendar. But the 15th of the first month, which normally is called the Lantern

Festival, means the official end of the Spring Festival in many parts of the

country.

Spring Festival is the most importantand popular festival in China.Before

Spring Festival ,the people usually clean and decorate their houses.And they go

to the Flower Fairs to buy some flowers.

During Spring Festival ,the adults usually give lucky money to

children.People often get together and have a big meal.Some people eat dumpling

for dinner.

I love Spring Festival .

Stress is a state of being upset that happens when we are under pressure.

Both our feelings and our bodies get upset.

We can even get emotionally and physically sick if we have too much stress

for too long. Stress can come at us from every direction. For instance, it can

come from fights with other people. It can come when we have too many things to

do and too little time to do them. It can also come when we do not have enough

money to pay for what we want. Since stress can make us sick, we have to learn

how to deal with it. There are good ways and bad ways to do so. We should deal

with stress in good ways, of course. Good ways to cut down on stress include

changing our lifestyles. For example, we can learn either to get along with

people or to stay away from them. We can decide what to do now, what to do

later, and what to leave off doing forever.

We can also figure out how to get money or we can cut down on what we want.

We should not deal with stress in bad ways because bad ways to cut down on

stress just lead to more troubles, for example, skipping out and leaving our

work undone, blaming our problems on someone else, stealing or cheating.

I had a very happy vacation.In every days life,I do my homework in the morning,play with my friend in the afternoon,read book after dinner.In another day,I can go to MEISHAN moutain.Like this,study and play are all on the way,very plentiful.

我度过了一个快乐的假期.在每天的生活中,我早上做作业,下午和我的朋友玩,晚饭后读书.在另一天,我可以去梅山山顶.这样,学习和玩都是在路上,非常丰富.

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。”

As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of

relaxation.Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the go

from morning till night,it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is essential for

a healthy mind and body. Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is

no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not the bad thing as it is often supposed to

be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose

to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control can it lead to poor

performance and iiihealth. The amount of stress a person can withstand depends

very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such

characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities. Others

lose heart at the first signs of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress,

in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact, we make a

choice between "flight or fight"and in more primitive days the choices made the

difference between life or death.The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so

extreme, but however little the stress, it involves the same response. It is

when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that

health becomes endangered. Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and

heart diseases have established links with stress. Since we cannot remove stress

from our lives (it would be unwise to do so even if we could), we need to find

ways to deal with it.
