Everyone has their own childhood, and most people are full of happy childhood, my childhood is full of happiness.

Remember it was happened in when I was five years old. Once, my father took me to play in the cultural center "jumping bed". When you get there, my father said to me let me play, he is going to read a book. May be I play of very happy, forget what dad said. I play tired, want to go home. But all over the whole square not find him. Just as I was downhearted, suddenly found that, in the square in the prize. I can not help of curiosity, so he went over. See a sister said: "as long as the stage can prize!" I went on stage to sing an English song "one, tow, three..." The elder sister I sent a sun umbrella. I carried an umbrella, go home happily. Can dad read a book, but cant find me. It worried him, almost cry. I returned home, mother hurriedly dad a call, dad just come home, see Im enrons sitting on the sofa, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Now, as long as a see the sun umbrella hanging on the wall, I will think of it, think of my happy childhood.

每个人都有自己的童年，而大多数人的童年都是充满快乐的，我的童年也充满了快乐。

记得那是发生在在我五岁时的事情。有一次，爸爸带我去文化中心玩“跳跳床”。到了那里，爸爸对我说让我先玩，他要去看书。可能是我玩的太高兴了，竟然忘记了爸爸说的话。我玩累了，想回家。可跑遍了整个广场都没找到他。正当我无精打采的时候，突然发现，广场上在发奖品。我禁不住好奇心的驱使，于是便走了过去。只见一个姐姐说：“只要上台表演就可以的奖品哦!”我便上台唱了一首英语歌“one，tow，three……”那个姐姐就个我发了一把太阳伞。我举着伞，高高兴兴的回家啦。可爸爸看完书，却找不到我了。这可把他急坏了，差点哭出来。我回了家，妈妈赶紧个爸爸打了个电话，爸爸这才赶回来，看到我正安然无事的坐在沙发上，他才松了一口气。

现在，只要一看到挂在墙上的那把太阳伞，我就会想起这件事，想起我快乐的童年。

端午节是一个特殊的传统节日，是为了纪念我国伟大的爱国诗人屈原。传说屈原悲愤投江，百姓怕鱼虾哺食他的身体，就用糯米包的粽子喂养它们，划着小船驱赶它们，后来就形成了端午节的传统习俗—吃粽子、赛龙舟。

吃粽子大家都会，可包粽子就没那么简单了。今年端午节，我自告奋勇和外婆一起忙活包粽子。外婆提前用水浸泡了一盆糯米、一碗红豆和花生，另外还准备了一碗晶莹剔透的蜜枣。接着外婆带着我去水边摘芦苇叶，青翠欲滴的芦苇叶散发着淡淡的清香。用这个包粽子肯定很好吃，我咽了咽口水。回到家，外婆用开水把叶子烫了一下，我好奇地问：“为什么要用开水烫呀，直接包不行吗?”外婆说：“主要是杀菌消毒，另外呢，烫软了更好包。”没想到外婆这么讲究!接下来我们要正式包粽子啦。

只见外婆拿出三片叶子，一片挨着一片排列好，用两根手指压住，旋转一圈，一个圆锥形的壳就形成了。先往里舀一勺米，放一颗蜜枣，再往里面放一勺米，然后放入红豆和花生，最后用手捏紧，将剩余的叶子覆盖上去，再用事先准备好的麻线扎紧。一个可爱的圆锥形小粽子就诞生了。我看得兴致勃勃，也想自己动手试一下，但每个都半途而废，太难了!看着我沮丧的样子，外婆安慰道：“别灰心，外婆小时候也不会，长大就会了。”于是我就心安理得地等着外婆的粽子上桌了。

剥开翠绿的叶子，一阵清香迎面扑来。我狼吞虎咽地吃掉了一个粽子，口中还残留着香甜的味道。我对外婆甜甜地笑道：“真好吃!外婆辛苦了!”外婆摸着我的头，露出了慈祥的笑容。

赛龙舟是端午节的一种独特的民俗活动,这个活动的起因是为纪念我国古代时的一伟大的诗人——屈原而设立的。

我今年有幸去看了一次赛龙舟，因为爸爸当天正好有空，所以我们全家去看赛龙舟。到达赛龙舟的场地时，岸两边早已被围观的人们围得水泄不通了，我看了桥上的一个空挡，便叫家人挤了过去。这个位置居高临下整个江面一目了然。

赛龙舟开始了，每只龙舟都像一支离弦的箭，一个劲的向前冲，每一只龙舟下面都都绑着不少粽子，每向前一步，龙舟上都有人用刀子把粽子斩下扔进水里。每只龙舟的速度都不分上下：一会儿1号领先，不一会儿8号又追上了。

突然，划船手好像力气大增，每一只龙舟的速度更快了。这时，击鼓手开始鸣鼓了，划船手顿时很有节奏的跟着喊起：“咚!咚!咚咚咚!嗬!嗬!嗬嗬嗬……”天公也好像来助威，开始下起了毛毛细雨。真是鼓声!人声!助威声!声声震耳!雨水!汗水!江水水水相容!

龙舟的速度越来越快，仿佛龙群在江水中急速飞腾。渐渐的，渐渐的。1号，5号，9号构成了领先集团。100米!50米!20米……终点越来越近，只见5号的力量一发不可收拾的爆发了!把后面的两条龙舟远远地甩在后面，然后冲线了!

赛龙舟真是一项激烈的比赛啊!

Whether sixty or sixteen, there is in every human beings heart the lure of

wonders, the unfailing childlike appetite of whats next and the joy of the game

of living. In the center of your heart and my heart there is a wireless station:

so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from

men and from the infinite, so long are you young.

An individual human existence should be like a river—small at first,

narrowly contained within its banks, and rushing passionately past boulders and

over waterfalls. Gradually the river grows wider, the banks recede, the waters

flow more quietly, and in the end, without any visible break, they become merged

in the sea, and painlessly lose their individual being.

Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, of the

appetite for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of

sixty more than a boy of twenty. Nobody grows old merely by a number of years.

We grow old by deserting our ideals.

Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.

Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.

A funny thing happened during the summer vacation.

On the morning of July 13th, the weather was clear and the sun was bright. My mother took me to the village of Li Jia to visit her grandmother. The two aunts and two cousins were also in grandmas house. I was very happy. On this day, I was playing with two cousins, and two of us got me to make you a little bit of fun. Then, I went to the river with two cousins to pick up the pebbles, and we picked up a lot of strange stones, some like the pentagram, some like cars, some like peoples hearts, and... We picked up some stones and went to a temple nearby. There was a golden Maitreya Buddha in the temple. When we were playing at the temple for a while, we returned to my grandmothers house. In the evening, when my sister and I were chasing the noise, my sister suddenly stepped on a stone and fell down. My foot was broken. I laughed and said, "you big fool." She said angrily, "you bad man, I will not kill you!" And then I ran after me... On the morning of the second day, we will go home. Our sister will also go with us. We have a great time playing games on the road.

Friends, is your summer vacation interesting? Tell us about it!

The dragon boat festival is here， and my family makes zongzi. Mother washed glutinous rice， peanuts and black beans first， then soaked them in water， and then cleaned the reed leaves. I cut the thread into sections， and the preparatory work was done.

At noon， mother fished out sticky rice， peanuts and black beans together， filtered water， sprinkled some soda ash and stirred evenly. Then， mother rolled two pieces of reed leaves into a top-like shape， filled them with glutinous rice， and then covered the leaves left on them. Finally， use the rope to bind tightly， and a zongzi will be wrapped. Because mother made dumplings for the first time， the dumplings made by mother are very strange， some of them are like grenades， some are like guns， and some are like candies.

After all zongzi are wrapped up， put them in a pressure cooker and cook them for half an hour， and they will be cooked. Open zongzi， yellow glutinous rice， black beans and red peanuts. what a beautiful look! Bite， especially sweet.

Everybody has his or her interest， and interests differ widely from person

to person because of age， sex health and education. To some extent， interest

also reflects ones ability or wish. Interest plays an important part in our

daily life. As a middle school student interest is of great importance in study.

If you want to learn something well， you have to show interest in it， which is

quite possible. Once you have found your way into the subject， you may have also

found a world of curiosities.

In our times， interest may not only result in skill and knowledge but also

lead to great inventions and discoveries. To be a successful person in the world

one should develop ones interest.

Today, I went to the grandmas home with my father and mother for the Dragon

Boat Festival. When we entered the door, grandma said, "today is Dragon Boat

Festival. Lets make dumplings." We promised. Grandma said, "bamboo leaves need

to be soaked for a while.

After a while, we began to pack the zongzi. Each of us picked up three

pieces of bamboo leaves, grabbed a handful of glutinous rice with our hands, put

them in the bamboo leaves, and put on some big red dates. And then wrap it into

a cone. Im glad to have a zongzi wrapped up. I said to grandma, "the dumplings

are so simple. Grandma said, "the real bag is not easy!" After finishing the

package, the dumplings were cooked.

Our whole family is very happy to eat sweet rice dumplings.

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.

今天是 五月初五 ——端午节，也就是人们常说的重五。我问爷爷：“端午节是怎么来的?”爷爷说：“端午节是为了纪念我国古代的爱国人士屈原而来的。当时屈原还是楚国的朝廷命官，但是小人当道，朝廷昏庸。屈原不愿亲眼见着国家的覆没，就怀抱石头，投进了汨罗江。楚国的百姓闻讯后，纷纷划船营救。从此，便有了端午节的说法。

“世杰，过来。”这时，妈妈下令了。我走进厨房问：“妈妈，干什么?”“包粽子啊!”妈妈说。“这活儿，我哪行啊?”我难为情的说。妈妈说：“让你包，你就包，有妈妈这个老师在呢!”我答应着：“好吧!”我拿起竹叶，学着妈妈的样子，把竹叶卷成筒状，再用小勺挖米装进筒里，用竹叶把馅儿包好，用彩线捆起来。我和妈妈合伙把粽子包完了，然后就上锅蒸。不久粽子出锅了，吃着自己亲手包的粽子，心里比吃了蜜还甜。

Overall, the Dragon Boat Festival is very interesting!

总的来说，端午节是非常有趣的。

Recently, I have seen an impressive film—“Meet the Parents”, which is about

a woman Palm brought her boyfriend Greg to her parents’ home to spend holiday.

In the film, Greg was so dishonest to Palm’s parents that Palm’s father is

suspicious of his behavior and quality. As a result, Greg is obnoxious to all

and has to leave. As far as I am concerned, the consequence is heavily caused by

his dishonesty. If Greg could be real him all the time, he would get much

respect and appreciation and would not get much frustration. From the film, I

have learned that being honest was extremely important and necessary. In other

words, being honest is a basic principle for us to deal with others.

For one thing, we will not get others’ trust unless we are honest. If we

deceive others, we would get the same in return, and even no one would make

friends with us or even communicate with us. For another, we will get others’

respect and appreciation if telling the truth. Telling the truth and being

ourselves, we will get a healthy and peaceful surrounding to grow up better.

However, something strange happens in our society. There is a strange

phenomenon that honest people suffer but the dishonest benefit a lot. It made

some people have a suspicion that being honest is not so important.

But I still believe that these are just a few cases, since honesty is

deeply rooted in our minds and we still consider it as a basic principle in

social contacts.

The Duanwu Festival, which is also called the Dragon Boat Festival, is an ancient Chinese traditional festival, celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. For thousands of years, various celebrating activities are held all around the country. Eating zongzi and racing dragon boats are the most pertinent ones, which are said to be in memory of Qu Yuan, a great poet. In some places, people spread realgar wine on the children in the hope of protecting them from the evil spirits. Many people consider May as an especially dangerous time for diseases in a year, and therefore they hang moxa and calamus and things like that around the doors to ward off evil and diseases and pray for good luck.

端午节,又称为端午节,是一个古老的中国传统节日,庆祝农历五月的第五天。几千年来,全国各地举行各种各样的庆祝活动。吃粽子和赛龙舟是最相关的,据说这是为了纪念屈原,一位伟大的诗人。在一些地方,人们传播雄黄酒的孩子希望保护他们的恶灵。许多人认为可能是一个特别危险的疾病在一年的时间,因此他们挂艾和菖蒲等,在大门抵御邪恶和疾病和祈求好运。

The 5th day of the 5th month of the lunar year is an important day for the Chinese people. The day is called Duan Wu Festival, or Dragon Boat Festival, celebrated everywhere in China.

This festival dates back to about 2,000 years ago with a number of legends explaining its origin. The best-known story centers on a great patriotic poet named Qu Yuan.
