of crayons, colored paper, pencil case. As a thank-you, I put cookies in my

Christmas stocking. Thank you for so many years of hard work, so that every one

of our children can receive gifts. I was very happy when I received your gift

last year. I went to my school to tell my classmates that I received your gift.

But It never occurred to me that my classmates would not believe it. But Im not

paying attention to them! Because mama said, "As long as you have something

beautiful to look forward to, something beautiful will always be around you."

For our children, you are the most amiable and respectable person in the world,

chimney in the future, so that your work will be more convenient and

Christmas Eve, I also want to give them a gift!

I like your youyou

Nowadays, with the development of Internet, people count on the Internet to

do a lot of things. The most common thing is to follow the information they are

interested in. Most people like to write down their comments, while as there is

no law to limit the comment. I always see the negative words. Internet has

become a main way for people to attack others. So horrible it is. We should be a

wise person. The way we respect others decides what kind of person we are. It is

unwise to follow the bad comment and attack others. We need to have our own

judgment and be a nice person.

we are opposed to that theory.

socialism, which is perfectly clear and unmistakable, says the thing you have got to take care of is your distribution.

we have to begin with that, and private property, if it stands in the way of good distribution, has got to go.

a man who holds public property must hold it on the pub1ic condition on which, for instance, i carry my walking stick.

i am not al1owed to do what i like with it.i must not knock you on the head with it.

we say that if distribution goes wrong, everything else goes wrong-religion, morals - government.

and we say, therefore (this is the whole meaning of our socialism}, we must begin with distribution and take all the necessary steps.

i think we are keeping it in our minds because our business is to take care of the distribution of wealth in the worid1 and i tell you, as i have told you be fore, that i don’t think there are two men, or perhaps one man, in our 47,000,000 who approves of the existing distribution of wealth.

i will go even further and say that you will not find a single person in the whole of the civilized world who agrees with the existing system of the distribution of wealth.

it has been reduced to a blank absurdity.

i think the day will come when we will be able to make the distinction between us and the capitalists.

we must get certain leading ideas before the people.

we should announce that we are not going in for what was the old-fashioned idea of redistribution, but the redistribution of income.

let it always be a question of income.

i have been very happy here to night.

i entirely understand the distinction made by our chairman to night when he said you hold me in social esteem and a certain amount of personal affection.

i am not a sentimental man, but l am not 1nsensible to all that.

i know the value of all tl1at, and it gives me, now that 1 have come to the age of seventy (it will not occur again and i am saying it for the first time), a great fee1ing of pleasure that l can say what a good many people can’t say.

[An Experience in Examination考试感受英文作文

暑假的一天晚上，我和爸爸妈妈一起出发去澳大利亚，我们乘了9个小时的飞机，平安地到达了澳大利亚墨尔本机场，开始了我们愉快的旅行。

我们在机场附近租了一辆汽车，这次的旅行是由我爸爸驾车带我们去的。到达酒店之后，我们放好行李，就出门去附近的超市买菜。超市里的物品琳琅满目，这里的蔬菜比肉还贵。

我们自己煮了饭，随后便开车去海边游玩。这里的海水真是清澈见底，隐隐约约地能看见几条小鱼自由自在地在水里玩耍，蓝蓝的大海让我们的心情一下子好了起来。玩了一会，天色渐渐地暗了下来，我们得回去洗澡睡觉了。明天不知道有什么好玩的等着我们呢，我好期待呀！

哈哈，第二天开始了，今天的天气真不错，我们吃完早餐收拾好行李，坐上汽车，开始了今天的旅途。

第一站，我们要去大洋路的沙滩玩沙子。因为现在的澳大利亚是冬天，所以我们不敢下海，海水太冷了。到了海滩，一眼望去，辽阔的大海不时泛起层层海浪，真是美丽极了！这里海滩非常的干净，一点垃圾都没有，如果在我们国内也能做到这么好就好了，所以我们要保护环境，保护大自然。

对了，澳大利亚还有一项规定，这里可以钓鱼的地方如果钓到了小鱼、小虾是要放回大海的。我脱了鞋子，卷起裤脚和袖子，和妹妹一起玩起了沙子。我负责挖沙坑，妹妹负责筑起围墙，不让海水冲毁。我挖坑的姿势看起来像是一只小狗在刨土。远处有几个外国小朋友在冲浪，他们不怕冷吗？但是看到他们玩得这么高兴可能已经忘记了寒冷。我和妹妹玩得不亦乐乎的时候，妈妈走过来对我们说要去下一站了，我们只好依依不舍地告别了海滩。

第二站，我们要去国家森林公园。可是我们在去的途中遇到了麻烦，一棵大树挡住了我们道路。爸爸和二爸爸一起下车想把树搬开，可是太重了搬不动，后来又来了几辆车，最后几位叔叔和爸爸一起，终于把大树移开了。不一会儿我们就到达了目的地，这里的森林公园有着千年大树，各种各样的植物，树木郁郁葱葱，空气也非常的清新，让人感觉心旷神怡，流连忘返。

第三站，我们来到了十二门徒，那里可以坐直升飞机。工作人员为我们系好救生衣，我们乘坐的是一架可以坐七个人的直升飞机，看到远处直升飞机缓缓降落，我们坐上飞机系好安全带，飞机缓缓升起飞向蓝天。我看到了辽阔的大海、十二门徒、伦敦断桥…这些优美的景色，一个个滑过我的眼底，从天空中欣赏这些景色也显得格外好看！

我们就这样在澳大利亚自由自在地玩了八天，依依不舍地回到了我们的祖国，我的家乡---宁波。如果下次还有机会，我还要到这么美丽的地方去游玩！

although honesty is believed to be a virtue， there are still dishonest people in our society。 for example， some businessmen sell fake product to their consumers; some students cheat in the exams。

dishonest people are short-sighted。 those who sell fake products may make money at first， but consumers wont buy their products any more。 as a result， they will lose their fortune or even be sent to prison。 by contrast， honest people gain a lot。those who always tell truth or keep to their promise not only let others trust them but gain respect from other people as well。 such persons are sure to have a lot of good friends。 because they are trustable and respectable， everyone is eager to make friends with them， besides， it is easier for a person with a good record to get a good job。 generally speaking， every employer wants his employees to be honest。 so we can say that anyone who is honest will be paid back later。

in a word， honesty wins trust， respect and honor。 so it is important that we should be honest。

Last winter holiday, I went to shanghai with my mother.

It＇s very cold in winter. There is snow and ice everywhere and you are always in a white world. You must wear warm clothes. The most exciting thing is playing with snow. Skating is also very interesting there.

I will＇ always remember shanghai, for the snow, the ice and all the beautiful things. I love shanghai.

With the general standard of living improving and the working week becoming shorter， more and more people are able to make a holiday trip to places of interest. While many like to join package tours fro convenience， I prefer to travel on my own.

I like travelling on may own not only because it costs much less but because it gives a great degree of independence and freedom. Travelling on my own， I’m my own boss； and can decide when to start on my way， where to linger a little longer and which spot can be skipped over to save energy or time for another spot. I can always adjust my plan. On the contrary， in a package tour you‘re deprived of as much freedom as in a military base. At the sound of the whistle， you have to jump up from a sound sleep and， with heavy-lidded eyes， hurry to the gathering place where you are collected and counted to board a coach. At the sight of the little flag waving， you must immediately take yourself away from the scenes you are marveling at and follow the guide whose sole interest is to cover all spots according to him strict schedule， regardless of the weather or your health condition.

True，you may encounter inconveniences if you travel inpidually，for instance， getting accommodations for the night and finding a place for meals. But nothing can be compared with the freedom which is vital to a person who takes a holiday trip mainly to escape from constraints of his routine life.

I remember that it was one of the things that happened early on, and I came to the school early in the morning and put my exercise books on the table, and I happily picked up the Chinese book and read aloud the text aloud.

After about a quarter of an hour or so, Mr. Louis walked into the classroom with a smile on his face, went up to the lectern, took out the red pen and handed the students the homework. After more than ten books, I found that the teachers face gradually changed from sunny to cloudy, and some of my classmates workbooks were taken to the stage.

After the second lesson, I and the students went to the teachers office and prepared to be taught. Who knows, the teacher changed the normal, kindly say: "last night go back why dont finish earnestly, ask you a few to correct the error in the workbook." Several of us took the exercise books nervously and fell on the teachers desk to correct them all. Then, let the teacher see again. Then the teacher smiled and said, "thats right. The people who read more should pay attention, the homework also cannot be careless!" We listened, and the mood was like a stone falling to the ground and running out of the office.

You say, how can such a teacher not let us like?

关于元宵节的英文介绍

the lantern festival falls on the 15th day of the 1st lunar month, usually in february or march in the gregorian calendar. as early as the western han dynasty (206 bc-ad 25), it had become a festival with great significance. this days important activity is watching lanterns. throughout the han dynasty (206 bc-ad 220), buddhism flourished in china. one emperor heard that buddhist monks would watch sarira, or remains from the cremation of buddhas body, and light lanterns to worship buddha on the 15th day of the 1st lunar month, so he ordered to light lanterns in the imperial palace and temples to show respect to buddha on this day. later, the buddhist rite developed into a grand festival among common people and its influence expanded from the central plains to the whole of china.每年农历的正月十五日，春节刚过，迎来的就是中国的传统节日--元宵节。元宵主要的活动就是看灯。东汉明帝时期，明帝提倡佛教，听说佛教有正月十五日僧人观佛舍利，点灯敬佛的做法，就命令这一天夜晚在皇宫和寺庙里点灯敬佛，令士族庶民都挂灯。以后这种佛教礼仪节日逐渐形成民间盛大的节日。该节经历了由宫廷到民间，由中原到全国的发展过程。

till today, the lantern festival is still held each year around the country. lanterns of various shapes and sizes are hung in the streets, attracting countless visitors. children will hold self-made or bought lanterns to stroll with on the streets, extremely excited. "guessing lantern riddles"is an essential part of the festival.

lantern owners write riddles on a piece of paper and post them on the lanterns. if visitors have solutions to the riddles, they can pull the paper out and go to the lantern owners to check their answer. if they are right, they will get a little gift. the activity emerged

during peoples enjoyment of lanterns in the song dynasty (960-1279).

as riddle guessing is interesting and full of wisdom, it has become popular among all social strata.

直到今天，元宵点灯的习俗仍然在中国的各地流传的，各式各样美丽的花灯在这一天都会点亮，孩子们提着自制的灯笼走街串巷，非常高兴。猜灯谜也是元宵节的一项重要活动，花灯的主人会将谜面写在灯笼上，挂在门口，如果有人可以猜中，就能得到小小的礼物。这项活动最早起源于宋朝，因为谜语能启迪智慧又饶有兴趣，所以流传过程中深受社会各阶层的欢迎。

people will eat yuanxiao, or rice dumplings, on this day, so it is also called the "yuanxiao festival."yuanxiao also has another name, tangyuan. it is small dumpling balls made of glutinous rice flour with rose petals, sesame, bean paste, jujube paste, walnut meat,

dried fruit, sugar and edible oil as filling. tangyuan can be boiled, fried or steamed. it tastes sweet and delicious. what’s more, tangyuan in chinese has a similar pronunciation with "tuanyuan”, meaning reunion. so people eat them to denote union, harmony and happiness for the family.

民间过元宵节吃元宵的习俗。元宵由糯米制成，或实心，或带馅。馅有豆沙、白糖、山楂、各类果料等，食用时煮、煎、蒸、炸皆可。起初，人们把这种食物叫“浮圆子”，后来又叫“汤团”或“汤圆”，这些名称“团圆”字音相近，取团圆之意，象征全家人团团圆圆，和睦幸福，人们也以此怀念离别的亲人,寄托了对未来生活的美好愿望。

in the daytime of the festival, performances such as a dragon lantern dance, a lion dance, a land boat dance, a yangge dance,

walking on stilts and beating drums while dancing will be staged. on the night, except for magnificent lanterns, fireworks form a

beautiful scene. most families spare some fireworks from the spring festival and let them off in the lantern festival. some local
