My dog is not only cute, but also very naughty.

My dog is very naughty. Once I bought a pair of new shoes and put it at home. Then I solved the rope with the dog, ready to take it out, but my mother called me to brush the pot. But so I brush pot, home to see but found my shoes gone, I found looking for, and found a shoe in a stinking ditch, there are many bite under the traces of bite, then I know It was the dog that my family had bite.

Last qingming Festival,i return home to worship my grandfather.qingming Festival is a folk Festival.In the past,In the past, the qingming Festival was called "Arbor Day". But Today, Chinese visit their family graves to tend to any underbrush that has grown. Weeds are pulled, and dirt swept away, and the family will set out offerings of food and spirit money. Unlike the sacrifices at a familys home altar, the offerings at the tomb usually consist of dry, bland food. One theory is that since any number of ghosts rome around a grave area, the less appealing food will be consumed by the ancestors, and not be plundered by strangers.

With the passing of time, this celebration of life became a day to the honor past ancestors. Following folk religion, the Chinese believed that the spirits of deceased ancestors looked after the family. Sacrifices of food and spirit money could keep them happy, and the family would prosper through good harvests and more children.

good morning, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls. now ,it"s my turn. my name is edgar, a high school student. i am very honored to be here to give you a speech. also it"s a good chance for me to improve my english. i hope i can make a good performance today. the topic of my speech is "after studying here".

before i came here,i can never imagine that i can learn so much knowledge about other countries, which can"t be got from my books in school. three months ago, i took my first class. unfortunately, i felt so embarrassed, because i even can"t speak any words, though i know i really love english .

after that, i took some of my tutor"s advice and previewed the lesson that i’ll learn. what’s more, in every class, i just try my best to say as much as possible. now,i can only remember it"s a really hard time. what’s worse, i had to go to my high school and went there at the same time.

after several weeks, i began to get used to the atmosphere in web .at least i"m not afraid to speak in front of my tutor and foreign teachers.

during web’s period,i found i had improved a lot, both physically and mentally. for example, how to be a confident person, how to plan for my future. and the most important is that i have learnt how to communicate with others, which is a necessary skill. nowadays studying is not the only thing that we high school students should do, there are some more important things we have ignored.

first, i am grateful for my parents. they have spent so much money for me, but never ask for anything in return. i really know how hard it is to work on such living conditions.

now it"s time to introduce my tutor sally. it was she that led me to the right studying here. it was she that helped me deal with all kinds of annoying things. also there are some other teachers that i appreciate, especially laura and anita. of course, i like to take foreign teachers" classes. anyway, thanks all of you!

i know i am young; there is a long way in my life. i have to face the difficulties and solve them by myself. but i know i must keep on my dream, i agree that if you put your mind to, you can accomplish anything.

i know i"m not the best ,but i"m the most diligent one。i hope you can remember me ,an ordinary boy.

[一句有个性的英语自我介绍

Henan has a humid warm-temperate climate. Dry and windy in winter and spring, the province is hot and rainy in summer and bakes in strong sunlight during the autumn months. Rainfall averages about 600-1000 millimeters increasing from north to south, as does the annual temperature which increases from about 12.8C in the north to 15.5C in the south.

Henan province is considered the cradle of Chinese civilization due to its location on the Yellow River. This rich historic heritage has endowed Henan with numerous historic treasures, from primitive dwellings to earliest wheel thrown pottery. The remains of some of the earliest human settlements have been unearthed here, including the over 7000-year-old Peiligang Culture Site, the 6000-year-old Yangshao Culture Remains and the 5000-year-old Dahe Culture Remains. All these cultural remains have profound significance in the history of Chinese civilization.

Luoyang City has been the capital of nine dynasties since the time of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty (770BC-221BC). There are many historical sites to be viewed in Luoyang as well as the opportunity to purchase replicas of the famed Tang three-glaze horses. Luoyangs Longmen Grottoes, famous for its grand treasure trove of Chinese Buddhist statues, are located 12km (7 miles) south of Luoyang. First sculpted and chiseled around 493 AD when the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty (386-534) was moved from Datong City to Luoyang, the grottoes of Luoyang house an awe-inspiring collection of sculpted Buddha and other religious subjects.

Kaifeng, one of the ancient capitals, also boasts the following buildings worthy of a visit: Iron Pagoda (Tie Ta) of the Northern Song Dynasty (960-1127), Dragon Pavilion (Long Ting) - site of imperial palace of the Song and Jin dynasties - and the 1400-year-old Xiangguo Temple which is one of the most famous Buddhist temples in China. Also on view in Kaifeng are ruins of the Shang Dynasty, an important part of human cultural and historic heritage. The Shang Dynasty Ruins, also known as the Yin Ruins, are famous because of the unique style of the large palace and its grand mausoleums, in which emperors of the Shang Dynasty are buried. The bronze vessels of the Shang Dynasty, which were both finely decorated and popularly used by the citizens of the Shang Dynasty, are well-known at home and abroad.

Panda—the National Treasure

Panda is one of the scarcest animals.People in the world like it very much.There used to be many pandas in China long ago.As the balance of nature was destroyed and the weather was getting warmer and warmer,pandas became less.But at present,the number of pandas is increasing year by year.There are now so many pandas that some are being sent to other countries so that people there can enjoy them.

Nowadays,the biggest nature park for panda in China is in Sichuan.There is a research centre for nature and wild life there.Scientists hope that one day they will have enough pandas to be set free and let them live in the wild again.

There are some pandas in the zoo. They look like a bear but they are not a bear. They live in China.

They have a small tail and fat body. They are black and white. They’re very clumsy but they can climb trees. They like to eat bamboo very much.

Look! The baby panda is under the mother panda they are sleeping. They look very lovely.

Pandas are my favourite animals.

动物园里有一些熊猫。他们看起来像熊，但他们不是熊他们生活在中国。

他们有一个小尾巴和胖胖的身体，它们是黑白相间的，他们很笨拙，但他们能爬树，他们非常喜欢吃竹子。

看!熊猫宝宝在熊猫妈妈的下面，他们正在睡觉。他们看起来很可爱。

熊猫是我最喜欢的动物。

Nowadays, there are many kinds of activities for people entertaining in their leisure time, especially in holiday, such as climbing a mountain, having a picnic, holding a party and so on. However, these recreational activities have its advantages but also bring some harmful influences to people’s lives.

First, to some extent, these recreational activities enrich people’s lives. Those who take part in different activities will not be easy to feel lonely or boring in their leisure time and live wonderful lives instead. Second, taking part in some group activities is a good form to strengthen friendships. For example, many students will hold a union to collect their old classmates or friends in winter holiday so that they have a common time to communicate with each other. Last but not least, such activities like climbing a mountain provide a good chance to do exercise.

However, these recreational activities also bring some problems at the same time. For one thing, taking part in too many these activities will increase the burden of themselves or their families because it is inevitable to spend some money in holding these activities. For another, some recreational activities have potential harm for participants’ health, particularly staying up all night, drinking and smoking.

Therefore, in my opinion, we have to make a careful consideration before we take part in these recreational activities.

中国传统节日有很多，比如端午节，清明节，重阳节等等，可是我最喜欢的节日是端午节。传说在很久以前的农历五月初五，爱国诗人屈原听见自己国家快要灭亡的消息后，愤怒交加，最后抱起一块石头跳入江河里。

到了现在每年五月初五这一天，被定为端午节来纪念屈原。在这一天，包粽子，赛龙舟，来纪念爱国诗人。奶奶在这一天也会把长长的艾条，高高的挂在家门口。

端午节最常见的习俗要数吃粽子。虽然商店里的粽子品种很多，但是，我还是喜欢家里奶奶包的粽子。在端午节的前两天，奶奶就会把包粽子的粽叶买回来用清水煮好，然后准备包粽子的原材料，糯米，肉，红枣绿豆等等。接下来就是包粽子，首先奶奶都会拿两三片粽叶，左手捏着叶子的一头，右手用三个手指捏住叶子的另一头，手轻轻地往里一卷，卷成一个圆椎体的形状。然后，往卷好的粽叶里面放一根筷子，再往里面放准备好的原材料。奶奶会边包边用筷子戳一戳，奶奶说，这样会粽子更紧，更加好吃。最后再拿一片叶子盖住糯米，用棉线把粽子捆结实，这样一个有模有样的粽子就包好了。粽子煮熟后，每次我都会迫不及待地把粽叶打开，那个香味喷鼻而来，金黄色的糯米看起来是那么的诱人。我大口大口的吃了起来，真是太美味了。每次我都会一年吃好几个呢。

因为我爱吃粽子，所以我喜欢端午节，真希望天天都过端午节。

自我介绍的作文：我走到镜子前面，看看镜子中的他。我笑，他也笑；我哭，他也哭。我向他招招手，他对我说：“你好，我叫延立敏。”一双水汪汪的眼睛，两条眉毛乌黑，一个不高不低的鼻子下面是一张樱桃小嘴，笑一笑，两排美中不足的牙齿站在嘴巴里。一张瓜子脸后面扎着一只马尾辫。中等身材，体形瘦瘦的，让人觉得弱不禁风。这就是我——一个开朗、乐观的女孩子。我喜欢旅行，从小就幻想能到威尼斯玩一玩。

有人说，人最大的敌人是自己；而我要说，人最好的朋友是自己。有人说，人最有力的竞争对手是自己；而我要说，人最好的合作伙伴是自己。有的人捶胸顿足地埋怨上天让自己怀才不遇，而我要为自己当一次伯乐。因为，我了解自己。

才学着说话，坐在床上闲着无聊，便拿起笔乱画。不经意间，竟一口气从1写到了100.那张嘴巴蕴藏着丰富的表情：高兴时，撇撇嘴，扮个鬼脸，生气时，噘起嘴能挂住一把小茶壶。从这张嘴巴说出的话，有时能气得别人火冒三丈，抽泣大止，有时却能让人大笑不已，哭笑不得。那年，我才2岁。

我这个人不仅感情丰富，还也很爱动。一有空，我便拿出铅笔在美术本上勾勾画画，画熟了，便三笔两笔地画出一只小狗或树木之类的东西。画厌了，又不知从哪拿来的一团五彩缤纷的橡皮泥捏起来。我对未来初中的生活充满了期望。我希望能在这三年里快乐地度过，能和同学们结下深厚的友谊，能从老师那里学到更多的知识和道理。

苏州园林里都有假山和池沼。假山的堆叠，可以说是一项艺术而不仅是技术。或者是重峦叠嶂，或者是几座小山配合着竹子花木，全在乎设计者和匠师们生平多阅历，胸中有丘壑，才能使游览者攀登的时候忘却苏州城市，只觉得身在山间。至于池沼，大多引用活水。有些园林池沼宽敞，就把池沼作为全同的中心，其他景物配合着布置。

水面假如成河道模样，往往安排桥梁。假如安排两座以上的桥梁，那就一座一个样，决不雷同。池沼或河道的边沿很少砌齐整的石岸，总是高低屈曲任其自然。还在那儿布置几块玲珑的石头，或者种些花草：这也是为了取得从各个角度看都成一幅画的效果。池沼里养着金鱼或各色鲤鱼，夏秋季节荷花或睡莲开放，游览者看“鱼戏莲叶间”，又是入画的一景。

苏州园林栽种和修剪树木也着眼在画意。高树与低树俯仰生姿。落叶树与常绿树相间，花时不同的多种花树相间，这就一年四季不感到寂寞。没有修剪得像宝塔那样的松柏，没有阅兵式似的道旁树：因为依据中国画的审美观点看，这是不足取的。有几个园里有古老的藤萝，盘曲嶙峋的枝干就是一幅好画。开花的时候满眼的珠光宝气，使游览者感到无限的繁华和欢悦，可是没法说出来。

游览苏州园林必然会注意到花墙和廊子。有墙壁隔着，确.廊子界着，层次多了，景致就见得深了。可是墙壁上有砖砌的各式镂空图案，廊子大多是两边无所依傍的，实际是隔而不隔，界而未界，因而更增加了景致的深度。有几个同林还在适当的位置装上一面大镜子，层次就更多了，几乎可以说把整个园林翻了一番。

游览者必然也不会忽略另外一点，就是苏州园林在每一个角落都注意图画美。阶砌旁边栽几丛书带草。墙上蔓延着爬山虎或者蔷薇木香。如果开窗正对着白色墙壁，太单调了，给补上几竿竹子或几棵芭蕉。诸如此类，无非要游览者即使就极小范围的局部看，也能得到美的享受。

这篇说明文充分展现了苏州园林建筑的特点和风格，文质兼美，字字锤炼，从中我们不但领略了作者深厚的文字功底，而且感受到了作者对家乡园林真挚的喜爱之情。

Chinese, known as "a state of ceremonies" reputation, for 5000 years of Chinas etiquette is profound, as descendants of the dragon, we should pay attention to etiquette.

"There are many good people in the world."."Often hear mom and dad and people around to chat, such a feeling.They taught me to be a sensible child from childhood, and I did the same.Of course, thanks to so much appreciation, I should thank one of my teachers.On the first day of school, the teacher told us a story about her when she was in normal, day Zixi, lost her pen, she let the classmate in front of her to help her pick up, she said to me, the man left her teacher table things off the others, or let the person in front of her to help her pick up, but others say that help me pick up, after also said thank you, the teacher in front of students said to see people talk more polite, teacher very feel shy.After finishing the story, the teacher blushed, and the students understood one thing: to be polite to others, to be civilized.I want to thank my honest teacher.Civilization is always around us.The friendly smile, say hello to the teacher sincerely, gently turning the sound in the reading room, the waste paper into the trash can, turn off the lights after school......Yes, the world will be a better place as long as all of us are from around us.

Remember the day of this summer vacation, my mother and I were waiting for the car on the side of the road to the county town.It took a while for the bus to come.There are so many people on the bus, its stuffy and hot.My mother and I managed to squeeze into a ventilated seat.Seated a roughly forty year old middle-aged women, face dark, plain and neat clothes.I was confused when suddenly the car came to a screeching halt.I missed the railing next to it and hit the middle-aged woman.I thought she might blame me, but then there was a caring voice: "little boy, is it all right?"Come and sit here with auntie!"Never encountered this situation, I did not know what to do, I have to use the look of help looked at my mother.Until my mother smiled and motioned me to sit down, I say thank you, and sat down.After sitting in my seat, I always feel lucky.Later I realized that it was not lucky, it was civilization, and it was civilization that gave her the seat to me

In fact, civility is very simple.We should start from the small things around us and become a civilized and polite person.

I have a little white rabbit. It is snow and white, really like a mass of white cotton. Eyes are very beautiful, like two rubies inlaid in the white face. Ears are very long, put up is particularly clever. It signed the front legs short and small, hind legs are fat and strong, so can only jump, can not run. Tail is also very small, almost can not see. It stands like a man.

I remember one time I pulled a radish from the yard, it did not even jump with me in front of me, while I do not pay attention to the mud with the mud to Diao away. I always do not want to let it eat unclean things, this time and as usual, we have done a fierce "struggle", of course I will win, when I put the clean radish in front of it, it thought me Throw in the towel, they triumphantly eat radish.

My little rabbit is so cute!

London and Tower Bridge

Not much is known about the earliest London Bridge although it’s location is thought to be near the present one. The second bridge a wooden one existing in Saxon times seems to have given rise to the nursery rhyme ‘London Bridge is falling down’ which it did in 1014. In 1176 the first stone bridge was constructed. Houses sprung up on both sides of the bridge and stood until it was pulled down in 1831, making way for a more elegant, classic structure. This bridge was replaced in 1967 as it could no longer cope with the amount of traffic. The present London Bridge is more 100 feet wide.

The London Bridge preceding the current one was bought by the McCulloch Oil Corporation of California, which reconstructed it at Lake Havasu City, in a corner of America’s Arizona Desert. Rumour has it that McCulloch’s thought they were buying the much more spectacular Tower Bridge.

The Construction of Tower Bridge began in 1885 and it was opened 9yrs later by Edward VII the then Prince of Wales, Amidst pomp and ceremony. It is the only bridge in London that can be raised to allow ships to pass. Since the Thames is no longer used much as a trade and shipping route, the complex lifting mechanism is only used 4 or 5 times a week. The Tower bridge is often mistaken for London Bridge which is dull in comparison.
