又到了一年一度的传统清明节，这天好像所有的人都忙碌了起来，我也情不自禁想起了离我们远去的外婆，想着他以前疼爱我的种.种回忆，不得不承认的是，我非常想念他了。 It is the annual traditional Qingming Festival. It seems that everyone is busy on this day, and I cant help but think of my grandmother far away from us, thinkingHe used to love my species. Remembrances, I have to admit that I miss him very much.

我无法忘记，那一年回到故乡，看到躺在床上的外婆，有多瘦骨嶙峋。她痛苦地蜷曲着，干枯的手掌，指节发白。我和我的妈妈无法相信，外婆已是骨癌晚期。更让人无法相信的是，一年多前，舅舅带外婆去医院检查时，已发现她得了骨癌。然而拿到化验单的那一刻，外婆却告诉舅舅不要让其他的人知道，也不去治疗，只是静静地回到家，正常地每天上学教书。

原来，这一年多，每天在讲台上给学生上课，把一叠叠试卷带回家批改的外婆，竟忍受着病情不断恶化的折磨。在她手拿粉笔在黑板上书写汉字之时，她的手会传来阵阵剧痛。独自一个人居住在老家，儿女们搬到大城市之时，她时常在深夜因为疼痛无法入睡，辗转反侧到天明。这一切，这一切的痛苦，她只是独自承受，不告诉儿女，不让儿女为她担心。她担忧儿女为她支付巨额的医药费而经济窘迫，还尽可能地延续自己几十年的教学生涯，尽可能地教书育人。

这时一切已无法挽回，我的妈妈、舅舅他们已经阻止不了外婆病情的恶化，能做的，只是减轻她的痛苦。可是，外婆艰难吐出的几个字却是：别，别再为我花钱。她心甘情愿独自挺过这些折磨，不让子女为了她陷入经济上的困境。甚至于，在儿女们轮班守夜，陪着她之时，她选择了偷偷服食，早点结束这一切，不拖累儿女。当我们及时发现，外婆终于醒来的一刹那，我们悬着的心放下，却又被外婆自责、内疚、颤抖的目光所刺痛。我的妈妈搂着我哭了，她说：“该自责的是我们呀!你的外婆，我们太对不起她!”

那天夜晚，我的妈妈陪着外婆，下半夜，外婆突然像是恢复些精神，完整地说出了几句话，她满是不舍地说：看到你们过得好，城城也考上了大学，这就够了。后来她安详地睡去，我们以为将是一个美好的明天，然而，这是永别。

这些年老家的人们不时会提起外婆，说她是一个教了一辈子书的好老师，爱教书，爱孩子，就跟有时电视上放的“感动”的人一样，感动着村里的人。我想，外婆也许没有那么伟大，但她对儿女、子孙的爱，深沉得让当年仅八岁的我感到生命的悲凉与母爱的伟大。她让我永远铭记，在处于多么痛苦的忧患中，她的生命书写了多么深刻的爱。

想到这些，我也暗暗对自己下了决心，以后不管再远，在忙，每年传统清明节都要回来看望一下外婆，以表示我对外婆的思念。

There are various emotions in the world. People need valuable emotions

which can support them both in mind and in life. Friendship is one of the most

vital emotions.

It is not easy to deal with friendship. As for friendship, sometimes you

and your friend may meet difficulties. Trust is the most remarkable trait of

forever friendship. Trust plays a very important role in daily communication. As

the saying goes, “Between friends all is common.” Furthermore, tolerance is also

a considerable factor in remaining good friendship. If your friend makes a

mistake accidentally, you should have largeness of mind. Friendship is too

precious. When we face some misunderstandings, we need to make joint efforts to

protect our friendship. We should not give up friendship at random. We should

treat our friends as treasures.

Friendship is so pure, clear and beautiful. We cannot be lack of friendship

in our life. Try our best to insist our trust in making friends.

下雨天

Its raining again today。And its raining hard。It was dark from morning

till night。 It was still dark at half past eight。 Even if I do my homework， I

can only see it with the light on。As soon as it rains， it stays down until about

twelve oclock。After the rain stopped， I went to the restaurant downstairs to

buy some food。

今天又下雨了，雨下得很大，天黑了从早上到晚上，它还是黑的八岁半。即使我做我的功课，我只能开着灯看。一旦下雨，它停留下来直到十二点雨停了，我去楼下餐厅买一些食物。

我的家乡在临汾，那里风景如画。 My hometown is in Linfen, where the scenery is picturesque.

家乡的大山是美的。春天山上下着雨，阔叶树树干上长出木耳，人们把木耳采下来，既可以食用，又可以卖出去;夏天山上的松树、柏树一棵棵都绿了，放眼望去，到处一片清新;秋天，更是美不胜收，枫树和其他一些树叶都变成了红色。看上去山上好像着了火一样;冬天，山上白雪皑皑，阳光一照，反射出银色的光芒。

家乡的草坪是美的。每天都有好多人去公园散步、玩耍，当然也看见了草坪。那草坪翠色欲滴，上面布满了五颜六色的小花，就像绿色的绒毯上绣上了美丽的图案。

我的家乡不但风景优美，而且物产丰富。家乡地下，有丰富的矿产资源。例如-煤炭，不仅供本地人享用，还能运输到全国各地。

家乡的汾河被阳光照射的闪闪发光，河水清澈见底，既能供人们观赏还能帮助农民让农作物饱饱的喝水生长，河水往远处流去，带着美丽的身影漂到远方。

家乡每到逢年过节时，都会放鞭炮，吃年夜饭，坐在电视机前看春晚，人们都穿着代表喜庆颜色的红色，有的还会扭秧歌、唱大戏，人们都沉浸在欢乐之中。

家乡的果园一到秋天，处处一片丰收景象，人们三五成群地走进果园收果实，火红火红的苹果、金灿灿的梨、紫色晶莹的葡萄，像各种颜色的小灯笼，高高挂在枝头，绽开着纯真的笑脸。

美丽富饶的临汾啊!我可爱的家乡。愿你在“新世纪”的`征途上变得更加繁荣富强。

炙热的太阳挂在上空，悠悠的云儿不知飘向何方。蔚蓝的大海像熟睡的婴儿般宁静安然，穿着白色碎花的小波浪轻轻地摩挲着澄黄的沙滩。几只洁白的海鸥在天空上自由的翱翔，时不时发出欢快的叫声，浅蓝的苍穹与深蓝的大海交织在一起，海的尽头是一望无尽的天空，天空的边缘是无边无际的大海。时间在这一刻定格啦，记忆在这一刻凝固啦。 The hot sun hangs over the sky, and the leisurely Yuner does not know where to float.The blue sea was quiet and peaceful like a sleeping baby, and the small waves wearing white floral gently rubbed the clear yellow beach.Several white seagulls soared on the sky, and from time to time, the cheerful screams were made. The light blue sky intertwined with the dark blue sea. The end of the sea was an endless sky, and the edge of the sky was boundless sea.The time is set at this moment, and the memory is solidified at this moment.

去海边是在四年前，那时我还是个不知天高地厚的小丫头。当看见一眼望不到头的大海时，我的心被震撼了，我体会到“无边无际”这个成语的意思!还好蓝好美，像一块宽大的，质地柔软的深蓝色丝绸，在微风的吹拂下，起伏连绵。甩掉鞋子，赤足踩过柔软的沙子愉快地奔向大海。海波轻轻的抚过我的足裸，它那么温柔，甚至在抚过我的足裸后会留下一丝痒痒的感觉。我小心地捧起海水，惊奇地发现手的海水又变成了透明色，看着海水从指缝间一点点的滴下，融化在深蓝色的海里不见了踪影，海又蒙上了一层神奇的色彩。

吃过午饭，就急冲冲地奔向大海。在海中像鱼儿一样欢乐的嬉戏，一会又到这里，一会又到那里，有时停下来随着海浪一起跌宕，即使烈火般的阳光照在皮肤上也毫不在乎。偶尔被海水呛住，只觉得海水好咸，似乎停留在喉咙里，咳不出咽不下，就像吃了几勺盐那样难受。曾经听别人说过海水是咸的，可是没想到海会这么咸，咸到有些苦涩。

夜晚，去海边漫步，海风轻轻地吹过，清爽中夹杂着一丝咸腥的味道。夜空落下了帷幕，星星在深邃的夜空中光辉灿烂，看上去神秘而又令人向往。海浪轻轻的摇，仿佛海的女儿的灵魂弥散在海中，吟唱着亘古不灭的凄美的歌谣。

“滴滴”手机的铃声拉回了所有的思绪。“雯雯，学校刚发来通知，16日就开学了，所以这几天要好好在家呆着，预习一下功课”脸上的笑容有些僵硬，心霎时冰凉。“哦，知道了。”挂了电话，心中不变的永恒依就是对大海的渴望与爱恋，看着英语书上的词组，多想大声喊出：“gotothesea去海边吧”。

今天发生了让我们班的某些同学很高兴得事情：没作业了！但我们班有些同学不高兴了。

我觉得没作业虽然是好事，但是不管有没有作业我们都应该认真学习。就算今天没有作业是因为老师叫我们放松，我也会给自己安排一个家庭作业，当家庭的“小老师”。给自己一种习惯，就当自己没作业也应该这样做！ 但有些同学不是这样的，他们会很高兴：今天没作业，我回家玩电脑，放松一下喽！哈哈哈哈！给自己一个适当的压力会还是好的，但压力不要太大。自己在家里要复习，要预习，不能说老师说没作业就当没事发生，自己做做练习题，自己让家长听写，该背的课文要背下来！反正这个要靠自己自觉的！我希望老师每天都留作业，就算给我们奖励，我也要作业，最起码也要２样！因为我这人不喜欢没作业，因为一没作业我就觉得生活当中少了点东西，总觉得不自在！

大家也要给自己一点点压力，不要一没作业就不在乎，做作业做的是自己，不是别人的，你不做害得是你自己不是别人！

范文一：

I got up at half past six. I washed my face and washed my teeth at a quarter to seven. I ate my breakfast at seven oclock. I went to school at half past seven. i had lessons at eight oclock. i ate my lunch at half past eleven.

I went home at half past three. I did my homework at five oclock. I watch television at six oclock. I went to bed at nine oclock.

译文：

我在六点半起床。我洗了我的脸,洗我的牙齿在四分之一到7。我在七点钟吃早饭。我7点半去学校。我八点钟上课。我十一点半吃了我的午饭。

我3点半回家。我做我的家庭作业5 点钟。我在六点钟看电视。我在9点钟上床睡觉。

范文二：

Yesterday was a trouble day. I was late for school and I broke my tea cup later. I went back home at lunch time but I found my mom went out and left me for nothing. Fine! Then I fixed myself some noodle. To be honest, thats not taste good. I wish tomorrow will be better and I beleive I can cook well next time.

译文：

昨天是麻烦的一天。我迟到了,我打破了我的茶杯。我回到家在午餐时间但我发现我妈妈出去了,留下我。好啊!然后我固定一些面条。老实说,这不是味道好。我希望明天会更好,我相信下次我可以做饭。

如果你失去了机会，你，不算失败，因为明天还会有期望;如果你失去了财富，你，不算失败，因为生活的好处不在于挥霍享受;如果你失去了礼貌，你是彻彻底底地失败，因为你已没有了做人应有的道德。

勿以恶小而为之，勿以善小而不为。惟贤惟德，能服于人。在我心中，礼貌是一举手一投足，一个小细节。在马路上，礼让行人。在公交车上，让座老弱——夏天，是一个燃烧的季节，就好像一个蒸笼一样。狗吐着舌头，蝉烦躁地鸣叫，柏油马路被晒得软软的。在这样的季节里，等待是一件漫长而又难熬的事情。公交车最后到了!人们像潮水一般涌上了车。一位老太太孤零零的被挤在了最后，她无力地抓紧了吊杆，像一片伶仃的落叶一样，随着风的吹向飘摇不定。可周围是一片混杂，似乎忽视了她的存在。这时，我坚定地站起了身，边挽着老太太的胳臂，边谦和的对她说：“奶奶，来，这给您坐，您留意慢着点。”老太太笑了，脸上的皱纹如菊花一般绽放……

对一个人来说，礼貌是人的思想道德水平、文化修养，对一个社会来说，礼貌是一个国家社会礼貌程序、道德风尚和生活习惯的反映。心生而言立，言立而礼貌。

播下一个动作，收获一个习惯;播下一个习惯，收获一份礼貌;播下一份礼貌，收获一个品格。让我们从自我做起，从点点滴滴的小事做起，让礼貌伴我行!

孩子：

就像你喜欢看的《小鲤鱼泡泡历险记》中，勇敢的小鲤鱼最后跳过了龙门一样，现在你从幼儿园升到一年级也是跳了一个大大的龙门呢!你知道吗?!

“跳龙门”对你来说意味着什么呢?爸爸觉得一方面说明你又长大了许多，明白了更多的道理;另一方面也说明，将会有一个更加绚丽多姿的世界展现在你的面前呢!

你也许要问我为什么。爸爸告诉你：因为，你将学到更多的知识，明白更多的道理。而且用不了多久，你就能学会拼音和查字典!有了这些工具的帮助，以后你就再也不需要爸爸、妈妈的帮助，你就能自己看懂自己喜欢的书籍!爸爸相信你一定会非常高兴的，因为你是一个好读书、好学习的孩子。

不过，要想在这许多的好书、许多新鲜的知识中遨游，你首先得有一个好的身体，因为没有好身体，你不可能游得快，也不可能游得远，就像爸爸为你起得名字中的“欣”字一样，爸爸希望你能快乐、生机勃勃的度过小学六年的美好生活。

当然，在小学，你还需要养成良好的学习、生活习惯，比如：早睡早起的习惯、按时起床的习惯、讲卫生的习惯等等。因为，习惯能够影响人的一生!养好了，这将是你一生中取之不尽用之不竭的巨大财富。将来总有一天，你会因为好习惯享福一生的。

孩子，在你面前的路还很长，渐渐的，你将不再需要爸爸的帮扶，慢慢的你将和小伙伴们一起前行，爸爸将会用欣赏的目光看着你留下的一行行成功的足迹。

孩子，你勇敢的走好自己的路吧!爸爸祝福你!

秋天来了,秋姑娘带着凉爽和丰收来到我们的家。田野里，稻子熟了，黄澄澄的像铺了一地金子。豆子咧开了嘴。果园里，苹果涨红了脸，黄灿灿的梨像灯笼一样高高挂起。公园里，枫叶红了，小草黄了，各种菊花在这个季节开放，红的似火、白的似雪、黄的似金色的桔子、紫的似葡萄，千姿百态，形状各不相同。树叶黄了，一片片树叶像蝴蝶飞舞般轻轻地飘落下来。

傍晚，我在家里的阳台上看蓝天，那像蛋黄似的夕阳看上去显得格外漂亮。

啊，秋天，我喜欢你！

大海是块神圣的地方。见到大海，无边的宽广、美丽的风景、博大的自然就会漫进心扉，让你感觉心旷神怡。大海无限的湛蓝和清爽的海风总让我心驰神往。此时此刻，我终于见到了大海。 The sea is a sacred place.Seeing the sea, the boundless broadness, beautiful scenery, and broad naturalness will naturally make your heart, make you feel refreshed.The unlimited blue and refreshing sea breeze always made me feel fascinating.At this moment, I finally met the sea.

放眼望去，明亮灿烂的阳光点亮了沙滩，沙滩变得金灿灿，海水清凉的波涛卷起雪白的泡沫，柔和地在沙滩上来回抚摸，海浪像一只湛蓝的手，一上一下，金黄色的沙滩上，沙粒被冲得一起一落，恰似一篇有声的乐谱，一幅多彩的图画。海总是让人产生无限暇想。

浪花踏着“哗哗”的歌声向岸边进发，一层层重叠着，交错着，伴随着阵阵海风，组成了一曲声势浩大的交响乐，在天地间回响，形成气势磅礴的浪头，翻卷起白色的“雪花”，打着旋儿绽放出一朵美丽的花，随即又消失在激流中，拍打着沙滩，海浪千变万化，忽缓忽急，时高时低，时而，海浪急匆匆地冲来，瞬间打在了地上，溅起无数飞沫，时而，海浪寂静下来，一股股波涛温柔地拍打在沙地上，时而，浪花发怒似的咆哮而来，像千军万马冲锋陷阵

沙滩上，五颜六色的贝壳点缀着金色的沙粒，远远望去，像一张色彩鲜艳的地毯。天地间迷蒙着梦幻般的雾霭，阳光穿过雾气照在海面上，使大海显得明亮而幽蓝。极目远眺，大山像手臂一样环抱着充满活力的大海，在更远处，水天连为一体，一朵朵云彩如雪山般横卧天际，显得如此优美。雾使万物披上了神秘的色彩。此情此景，让人感觉到万物都融在了这大自然的景色中，耳中只有涛声，眼里只有蓝色。

当夕阳西下的时候，大海呈现出一番美丽的风姿。游人的遮阳伞都收了起来，在阳光下，像一棵棵金色的小树。鹅卵石铺成的小路也闪着金光，偶尔有几只海鸥啸叫着从天空掠过，给这幅画卷增添了一份别致。海潮的蓝与沙滩的黄对比多么明显，衬托得多么完美!这晚霞辉映的大海，美得让人心颤。它的美，似乎不在于海水的深远，而在于它沉稳地托起磅礴的火轮，把充满力度的光辉洒在广阔的海面上

Like tangible cultural heritages such as the Great Wall and the Forbidden

City, intangible cultural heritages like Peking Opera and

Confucius-commemorating rituals are equally crucial. We should make our utmost

efforts to preserve intangible heritages because, without their physical form of

existence, they are in greater risk of extinction.

According to UNESCO’s Convention for the Safeguarding of Intangible

Cultural Heritage (2003), all forms of social customs and habits, folklore,

performing arts, rituals, oral traditions, festivals, traditional crafts and

various knowledge and practices about nature and universe can be classified as

intangible cultural heritages. As a country consisting of a great diversity of

ethnic groups and with time-honored history and civilization, China abounds in

intangible cultural heritages. Cultural heritages connect modern people with the

historical past, allowing them to acquire a cultural and historical identity.

Without cultural heritages, we would be rendered absolutely rootless and we

would find it hard to cope with challenges at present and in the future.

However, the modernization process poses mounting threats to intangible

heritages. Many people have a blind faith in the latest electronic devices. It

is also pathetic to see elderly people in possession of such legacies pass away

without transmitting them to the younger generation. Faced with those

challenges, we should both preserve and renovate our ancestral heritages so that

we can help contribute to the cultural diversity of the world and return to our

spiritual homeland in this age of impersonal science and technology.
