小动物到哪儿去了呢?小燕子、 丹顶鹤、大雁早在秋天的时候就飞到温暖的南方去了。小蜜蜂、小蚂蚁在暖和的洞里吃食物。青蛙、刺猬、蟒 蛇……它们正在洞里呼呼大睡呢!

冬天的雪白白的，小朋友们（包括我）常常用雪玩一些游戏，有堆雪人、打雪仗、滑雪……一些没有玩过这些游戏的小朋友肯定不知道这些游戏有多么好玩，我来告诉你怎么玩堆雪人——玩堆雪人要准备大量的雪，要不怎么叫“堆‘雪’人”呢？拿起一小块雪，用剩下的雪往里面添，添成一个比较大的雪球，再用同样的方法做成一个比刚才小一点的雪球，把小一点的雪球放在大一点的雪球上，再准备雪人的眼睛、鼻子、扣子，两个眼睛可以用两个杨梅代替，都是圆的，都是黑的，鼻子可以用胡萝卜代替，雪人的鼻子真长！扣子可以用葡萄代替，用五六个就行了，嘴巴用手画，什么表情都有的。

Dragon Boat Festival,often known as Tuen Ng Festival or Duan Wu Festival,is

a traditional Chinese festival held on the fifth day of the fifth month of the

Chinese calendar.Dragon Boat festival memorializes the Chinese poet Qu Yuan.He

committed suicide by drowning himself in a river because he was disgusted by the

corruption of the Chu government.People sat on dragon boats,and tried to scare

the fishes away by the thundering sound of drums.Hence,toady we sail the dragon

boats to celebrate this festival.Also,people eat zongzi (the food originally

intended to feed the fishes) in memory of Qus dramatic death.

Sharing bike can be seen in every corner of the street, which is very

popular by the public. The foreigners speak highly of sharing bike, because they

can ride the bikes to look around the city and the expense is very cheap. As

people enjoy the convenience of these bikes, the problem comes. We can see that

many bikes have been broken and some are even put in the main road, which brings

trouble to the public. Of course when the media reported the phenomenon,

everybody condemned the negative behavior. Sharing bikes are public property,

all the people have the responsibility to protect them, so after using them, we

should just find a right place to lock them. The small act can present a

person’s nature, so dont let yourself be the rude one.

一夜之间，世界变了。雪白的大地，被冰冻了的空气，冷得让人窒息。一切早已不是夏的热情，而是冬的冷淡。当大地严寒时，漫天雪降临了，它们的到来，似乎让一切都白的更彻透，而又那么朦胧…… Overnight, the world has changed.The snow -white ground, frozen air, was cold.Everything is no longer the enthusiasm of summer, but the coldness of winter.When the earth is cold, the sky is coming, and their arrival seems to make everything more white, and so hazy ...

只为可惜，可，那熟睡中的动物，惜，那被冰雪遮起的世界……可惜它们没有见到，见到飞舞的雪花。

春天，那万物复苏的季节，雨，便是春的摇篮。夏日，那火般的热情，太阳，是它的证明。秋季，风儿“飒飒……”叶儿飘落，是它最美的笑容。冬，那酷似冷漠的世间，雪，是它的欢乐……

在冬季，雪带来了欢笑。冬天的夜晚，一切都过得很慢很慢，所以呢!第二天，你会见到满地的雪，堆积在一起。雪花，每次看见你，我知道，自己离童年的影子又远了一步，对童年的思念，又深了一点，谢谢……

“哇!雪花诶!呵呵!好美!”一声声欢笑里，有谁知道，坚持着等雪的降临，一切是多么漫长……看!一大群小朋友，他们张开双手,等着雪花落下，还有一些小朋友，伸出舌头等着雪，看它是否像糖一样好吃!

也许，以前我也在这其中，有我开心的笑声，奔跑时，快乐的自由……可我已长大，我还要去学习，以前是玩雪，现在是认识雪，接着研究雪……我好想好想，再一次，跟着雪儿玩游戏!童年的伙伴们，你们也一样跟我期待，期待着，什么时候还有那天真无邪的影子吧?!那所谓的过去，就像来不及许愿的流星，再怎么美丽，那也只是曾经的梦，而已，罢了……

雪，依旧在下，慢慢地堆积在童年的深处……我还要再期盼着什么呢?梦，又是那么纯洁，雪花，依旧是我的梦，是期盼童年的梦……

Lightly, lightly, summer girl is coming to the world with slim and graceful step……

The grass grows much greener than before. The flowers come out more beautiful than before. There are more leaves in the trees than before. Everything makes us more youthful.

Accompany the first cry of the cicada and the first shout of the frog…… The world is full of melody. All the bother is taken away by it.

Gradually, gradually, the air temperature turns higher and higher. The lotuses in the lakes come out happily. The dragonflies are busy laying eggs……

Ah! Summer is really coming!

轻轻地，轻轻地，夏天女孩来到世界轻盈一步……

草生长比之前更绿了。花比以前更漂亮。比以前有更多的树叶在树上。一切都让我们更年轻。

伴随着蝉的第一次鸣叫，第一个喊的青蛙……世界充满旋律。所有的麻烦都带走。

渐渐地，渐渐地，气温越来越高。湖里的荷花高兴地出来。蜻蜓忙于产卵……

啊!夏天是真的来了!

The shared bikes like Mobike and Ofo bring great convenience to people. You

needn’t lock them by simply using your smart phone. They can take you where the

subway and bus don’t go. And they can be left anywhere in public for the next

user.

However, bad things happen. Some people damage the QR code on the bike, or

use their own lock, which causes trouble to other users.

In my opinion, it’s difficult to turn these people’s ideas in a short time.

Therefore, bike-sharing companies like Mobike and Ofo need to do something. For

example, those who damage the bike should pay for their actions. Also, because

people use their real name to register as a user, it’s a good way to connect to

one’s personal credit.

In the end, what I want to say is to take good care of public services.

今天，我刚刚起床，爷爷説：“快看呢，外面下雪啦!”哇，真的，外面下雪了!我穿上了衣服，迫不及待的跳下了床。

我和爷爷出去玩，我们堆了三个雪人，一个美丽无比的妈妈，一个身强力壮的爸爸，一个又可爱又美丽的宝宝，我看见别人堆的特别特别大。过了一会儿，爸爸下来了，他説：“我要去擦车。”我们又玩了一会，爷爷説：“太冷了，咱们快回家吧。”我拿了一块雪就回家了，回到家，我一看，雪还没融化呢。爷爷把它放到一个盒子里，然后我就把它放到冰箱里去了。

我想，堆雪人可真好玩啊!

Today is the Dragon Boat Festival, I am happy! I want to know how I had the Dragon Boat Festival? If you want to know, come with me.

In the morning, we got up early. As soon as I came out of the room, I smelled a delicious smell. When I came to the kitchen, I saw that grandma was cooking my favorite meat dumpling. Grandma cooked the zongzi, and I ate two meat dumplings at the same time.

After eating the meat dumplings, and mother taking me shopping, I got two very beautiful silver bracelets, a beautiful necklace and a nice little sachet.

Having bought something, we came to the grandmothers house to eat the cake bin. Let me teach you to make a cake canister! First, take the skin of the pie, then put the main raw material on the top, then put some vegetables on it, so that it can be rolled up. The last step is to pour the broth into the mouth of the pie tube.

The Dragon Boat Festival is really interesting!

Yesterday, a full day of goose snow, and today my mother and early bed, because I do not want to miss a good opportunity to watch the snow.

After the snow morning, everywhere wrapped in silver, magnificent! Like a master of the painter painting a beautiful picture. The road has been covered with a layer of long white carpet, is so pure, so crystal, it seems really do not have the heart to step up; road on both sides of the lawn has been invisible, because the lawn covered with a thick layer Quilts; trees covered with silver flowers, hairy, than the original thick, and the big pine is beautiful, wanted to full of pear, really "suddenly as a night of spring, thousands of trees million pear tree open" ah!

My mother and I breathe fresh air and enjoy the grace of nature. We are in this beautiful world to enjoy the snowball, snowman, although my hands flushed, but my heart is very happy!

Because we have to go to school, so we had to leave. Goodbye beautiful lawn, beautiful pine, beautiful nature!

In our common home - the earth, life with a lot of animal, which animal do

They play together every day, it is a good friend of a stick dozen not

long. Two leg, capable to my shoulders, his eyes, nose, mouth, ears are much

older than yuan yuan, I most like to see him running figure - curly float in the

sky, like a nice horse. I often and yuan yuan, running with the handsome, every

time is handsome first, second, I am the third round. Can literally, handsome

running faster than thoroughbred horse. Average dog ran up, send out "clicking"

sound, but handsome rans voice is very small, not carefully is inaudible. The

appearance of the handsome run is also very handsome, curly, bow shaped body. If

you want to use a word to describe talent, that is: handsome. If you use a word

that was impeccable.Compared with the handsome, round shape is much smaller,

only 30 centimeters in length and a half smaller than talent. The meaning of his

name from his eyes, it is too round. Like a shiny black stones. And his legs are

very round and round this is name. And his legs are very short, so even if he

runs, casting its foot also run fast, but I still like him very much the kind of

simple and lovely.This is what I like animals, do you like?

在这冬季的夜里，冷飕飕的，已无半点暖意。这些天，很少在键盘上敲打文字了，似乎在心底没有什么感触可以让自己写的，好像忘记了什么又想起了什么。 In this winter night, cold is no longer warm.These days, I rarely knock on the text on the keyboard. It seems that I have no feelings in my heart to let myself write, as if I forgot something and think of what.

北方的冬天却始终如一，冬天来得早，又去的晚。在强劲的秋风中，你更能切到冬天的脉息——不若春的温柔，夏的热烈，秋的温爽，是其独有的劲烈。

冬天里，蔚蓝的天，没有一丝浮云。枯黄的树叶，离开了大树母亲的呵护，静静地躺在树妈妈的周围，仿佛是在听故事。踩在厚厚的枯叶上，噼噼啪啪的，像正在燃烧的干柴。“落叶不是无情物，化作春泥更护花”，小小的树叶也知道主动舍弃是为了更大的收获。那小小的树叶真可爱!踩踏着风的旋律，在枝与地面的舞台中，尽情旋转，飘落，用自己的方式告别它的美丽。

北方的初冬像一位美丽的姑娘，高贵而矜持。她舞动着神奇的面纱，送来阵阵寒风，所有的树木都酣睡到叶挂枝头的春天。我依靠在窗前，望着墨兰的天空。一轮圆圆的新月从远处悄然升起来，那样的白净，那样的安详。初冬的月儿，又冷又清，洒下冰冷的余辉。高高的夜空，一丝轻柔的月光洒在大地上，淘气的小星星像仙女抛出的锦绣，在夜空中划出一道金色的弧线。

人们都喜欢跟月亮打交道，因为有嫦娥的眷恋，相信月亮是有情谊的，是一位痴情的佳人。多情只有春天的庭月，犹为离人照落花。我觉得太阳过于热情奔放，星星太清冷，只这月儿恬静，恰到好处。清冷而高洁的月光照耀着大地，整个苍穹笼罩在圣洁的气氛中。我爱你冬天的月儿，更爱你北国的冬天。

我喜欢北方的冬天，当白雪覆盖大地时，一切变得是那么简单、悠远和宁静。走在雪上，发出吱吱的声响，那是雪一生中发出的唯一声音。而南方的冬天，往往下雪的地方，雪花落地，很快融化，带给人夏天雨水造成泥泞的感觉，少了纯粹冬天的味道，经不起风吹日晒，极快地消失。

我喜欢冬天。因为冬天是个让人清醒的季节;令人思考的季节;考验万物生存能力的季节。冷酷下，该消亡的消亡了，该蕴储的蕴储。一冬的安宁后，来年的春天，覆盖在白雪下的欲望，野心勃勃地出来，呈现一片盎然状态。怯懦的消亡了，坚强的重获新生。

这几天阴雨绵绵的，坐在窗边的我总是冻得瑟瑟发抖，搞的我上课没点心思，一直在全神贯注的御寒的时候，老师已经讲过了很重要的要点。我严严实实的裹了一件秋季校服，死死的抱住一个厚厚的抱枕。即便这样还是冻得直打喷嚏。

也许是天生虚弱的缘故吧!我向来特别怕冷。给我看病的老中医说这是“中需不足，脾胃虚寒”之症。我当然听不懂了。我只知道我非常怕冷。在烟雨蒙蒙的天气里，我只能盼望寒冷的夏天快点过去，冬天快点来。

关东的冬天最冷了。北风烟儿雪充斥着人的视野。我们穿着一层又一层的衣服，只露出两只眼睛和“一线天”的比关羽还红的脸。按照常理我这麽怕冷的人是避之不及的，为什么我喜欢过冬?因为冬天可以给我温暖。

小时候看《道德经》，我的领悟力太差，对于“玄之又玄”的大道毫无感悟，倒是记住了几句话：大音希声，大象无形，高下相生，难易相成。后来才知道这叫辩证法。我想冷暖也是这种关系吧!人只有在冷的时候才能感觉到温暖。冬天什么时候最温暖?是全家人围坐在一起吃火锅的时候，是穿的厚厚的走在冰天雪地之中的时候，是回到农村舒舒服服的睡在炕上的时候。这才是真正的温暖!所以我说我喜欢冬天!夏天突然飘来了云黑起了天下起了雨，穿着半袖衬衫的我怎么能不感到寒冷?

人与人之间的关系也是如此啊!两个好朋友闹僵了，关系变得异常冷淡，如果有一个人说一句温和的话，比盛夏还暖的话，两人便和解了，还是好朋友。两个好朋友亲密无间，可能因为一句恶语中伤，一句比严冬还冷的话就大打出手，与曾经的友谊诀别。感情的冬天里需要盛夏温暖的阳光，感情的盛夏里厌恶冰冷的风雨。有的人正值人生的严冬，如果有一个人上去扶一下拉一把便传递了前所未有的温暖。有的人像我一样，有“中需不足”之症，不过是在感情上。他们“怕冷”，有的人却要雪上加霜，冻死他。你想没想过到了你的冬天会发生什么?

所以我说“我怕冷，但我喜欢冬天”在现实世界里的冬天，我能感到别样的温暖。在感情世界里的冬天，我能分清人性的善恶。感谢冬天!

我怕冷，但我喜欢冬天，想念白雪皑皑的世界!

Miss Hou is my English teacher, she is 28, we all like her.

候老师是我的英语老师，她28岁，我们都很喜欢她。我的英语一开始真的很不好，我怕上候老师的课，当她发现了，她并没有责备我，她告诉我唯一能学好英语的方法就是喜欢上英语，她叫我去看英语电影，这起作用了。候老师是我最喜欢的老师。

I remember the first time I see Miss Hou, she walks in class, and then talks with students about small things. She doesn’t talk about English in the first class, everyone feels Miss Hou is so amiable, we like her so much. Miss Hou is good at teaching us, she explain the question very patiently, when we understand, she will be move to the next topic, Miss Hou is a good teacher.

我记得我第一次见到候老师，她走进教室，然后和学生讨论一些小事情。她在第一次课上并不讲英语，大家都觉得候老师很和蔼，我们很喜欢她。候老师很擅长教我们，她很耐心地解释问题，当我们明白了，她才会讲下一个题目，候老师是一名好老师。

有人说冬天很冷;有人说冬天没有生命;有人说冬天很孤独。但我觉得冬天充满了爱。

当校车缓缓开到校车点时，在人群中，我看到了他——我的父亲，他正期待着，寻找着我。我站在门前向他喊道。然后我听到他慈爱的声音：“儿子，把包给我，重的!”我还没来得及说什么，他就把手放在我的包上了。”你怎么穿得这么少，学校又这么冷!”他的眼睛瞥了一眼我的衣服。虽然他的语气中有责备，但他还是更关心我。他走了两三步走到车前，急忙打开车门，对我喊道：“上车吧，车里很暖和。”我上车后，他把温度提高了一点，“以后多穿点衣服，不像在家，没人能照顾你，照顾好你自己。”也许，这句话不是这样的华丽，但在我看来，它们比那些华丽的句子更生动美丽。听到这句话的那一刻，我全身充满了温暖。外面，很冷这是一个寒冷的冬日，但在车里，此时此刻，就像一个炎热的夏日。在车里，一瞬间，它被深深的爱包围着。

穿过寒冷的北风，终于回到家里，“妈妈，我回来了。”“嗯，等一下。饭马上就好了。”妈妈熟悉的声音从厨房传来，伴着炊具的“滋滋”声。我走进房间，打开电视，一准备坐下，厨房里就传来一阵咳嗽。起初我不在乎，但咳嗽越来越厉害了。我快步走到厨房，看见妈妈在做饭。她一手拿着铲子，另一手捂住嘴。她的脸很痛。豌豆的汗珠从她头上掉了下来。她紧皱眉头，左右摇晃着身子，好像会不小心摔倒似的。我的眼睛禁不住红润起来，心里也被震得很厉害，眼前的情景仿佛是一把锥子，狠狠地刺伤了我的心。我深爱的母亲此刻正带病为我做饭，而我，一个健康的人，没有权利像残疾人一样等着家人给我喂食。我忍不住向前走去。”妈妈，我会帮你的。”

这个冬天，让我们带着爱去吧

The human race has entered a completely new stage in its history,along with

the advance of the society and the increaceingly rapid economic globalization

and urbanization, which resulted in the phenomenon that we are accustomed to

living a very fast rhythm lifestyle,ignoring the Chinese traditional

culture.

It is universally acknowledged that Chinese culture has a history of more

than two thousand years, which once had great influence on the world, such as

Japan, South Korea and other Asian and European countries. As one of the four

ancient civilizations,China creates many splendid cultures,such as the four

ancient Chinese inventions,which benefited human society in the history.

Although China risks copying the Western lifestyle’s worst aspects,

especially of unhealthy eating and drinking,Which once gave rise to many

problems.Fortunately,Chinese begin to realize the importance of Chinese

traditional culture.Such examples might be given easily,Chinese traditional

culture was added into our CET4 and CET6 ,which help us get hold of it

better.

Of the fruits of the year I give my vote to the orange. In the first place it is a perennial--if not in actual fact, at least in the greengrocer’s shop. On the days when dessert is a name given to a handful of chocolates and a little preserved ginger, when macédoine de fruits is the title bestowed on some raisins and two prunes, then the orange, however sour, comes nobly to the rescue; and on those other days of plenty when cherries and strawberries and kiwi-fruits riot together upon the table, the orange, sweeter than ever, is still there to hold its own. Bread and rice, beef and mutton, eggs and milk, are not more necessary to an ordered existence than the orange.

It is well that the commonest fruit should be also the best. Of the virtues of the orange I have not room fully to speak. It has properties of health giving, as it cures influenza and establishes the complexion. It is clean, for whoever handles it on its way to your table but handles its outer covering, its top coat, which is left in the hall. It is round, and forms an excellent substitute with the young for a tiny football. The pips can be flicked at your enemies, and quite a small piece of peel makes a slide for an old gentleman.
