Dear Friend,

How have you been recently? I miss you very much. Do you still remember

me?

To be honest, Im honored to make friends with you. I still remember the

days when we were together. As far as I know, you are the kindest person in the

world. Once we were together, you always treated me as if I were your dear

brother, so I was grateful to you in my heart. After you leaving, I always

thought of you. Next time we have a chance to see each other, I will say "thank

you" to you. Thank you for your kindness. Now I have got the meaning of my

life.

Although we are in two different places now, we are still together, because

we are always heart to heart. I believe we can see each other again. Since we

are always close friends as well as dear brothers. Because of you, my life is

always so significant. Wherever I am, I will pray good luck for you.

Last but not the least, I hope you can make it and have a bright

future.

Sincerely yours,

Jason

Hi, TigerMom ,

What puzzles you is actually a puzzle for many parents in China . My idea

is that it is quite right for you to do so .

Although high grades are an important factor in evaluating students and for

their future university admission , development in wisdom emotion ,health and

life attitude should never be ignored . There are many examples around us . Some

all—A students in school have turned out not to be as successful in society as

they were expected. The reason is often that the pressure from their parents

allows them almost no time for other activities . Furthermore , punishment is by

no means a wise choice to help them grow up mentally and physically .

So I suggest that you take your friends’ advice . More importantly, let her

live like a lovely girl ; let her have more friends and social activities ; and

let her make mistakes of her own as we teenagers often do .

ChenMo is my desk mate who is a good student in the eyes of classmates andteachers.

She is the first one to get to school every day.

Usually, she spendshalf an hour in learning English that takes us much to remember vocabularies andread the articles. Moreover, she not only focuses on her own study, but alsohelps other students in need.

Classmates like asking her for help, because sheis always ready for help.

However, I prefer to regard her as my friend ratherthan desk mate.

We communicate with each other frequently after class.

We discussour study as well as share our lives. She is desperately interested in playingbadminton, so do I. We would play badminton very Friday after class, whichhelps us relax ourselves as well build our body. It’s so great to have a deskmate that has interest in common.

陈茉是我的同桌，她是老师和同学眼里的好学生。她每天都是第一个到教室的。

通常，她会花半个小时学习英语。英语需要花比较多的时间去记单词和读课文。陈茉不仅专注于自己的学习，也积极帮助其他有需要的同学。

同学们喜欢找她帮忙，因为她总是那么乐于助人。

但是，在我眼里，她不仅是我的同桌，更是我的朋友。课后，我们经常相互交流，讨论学习问题或是分享彼此的生活。她很喜欢打羽毛球，我也一样。我们常常会在周五下课后打羽毛球，这不仅能使我们得到放松，也有益于我们的身体健康。能有一个拥有相同兴趣爱好的同桌真是太好了。

[高中英语作文：我的同桌

However mean your life is, meet it and live it; do not shun it and call it

hard names. It is not as bad as you are.

It looks poorest when you are richest. The fault-finder will find faults in

paradise. Love your life, poor as it is.

You may perhaps have some pleasant, thrilling, glorious hours, even in a

poor-house. The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the alms-house as

brightly as from the rich mans abode; the snow melts before its door as early

in the spring. I do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there, and

have as cheering thoughts, as in a palace.

I am a student, I have a dream is to become a scientist. Hope in the future we can have a robot called Carla, it can help me to do many things, like a mop the floor, washing dishes or something, still can play various games with me.

Integrity, literally can be divided into honesty and trustworthiness. Honesty and keep faith, just as its name implies. Responsible for yourself, to be honest and trustworthy is responsible for others. They say: "gentlemans word is an arrow let fly." Heavy reputation, integrity is our traditional virtue of the Chinese nation. Jinan of shandong province port ditch county village villagers creature can use action to explain the Chinese virtue, keep good faith.

In 1948, jinan campaign five martyrs died and Liu Yanbao grandfather by the army chief, look after five martyrs, and liujia people unwilling to pay someone carved five tombstone, and planted around the conifers. ChengJun one, and will keep a lifetime. The lius man to keep his promise in the forces that keep is 63, liu four generations, no matter how things change commitment of the heart. The lius mans story is a loyalty.

Liujia people use action interpretation of promises, but taobao shop moves all the way the busy up house but with a terrible price to tell us the importance of prestige.

Up house President said in an interview: "the best house in the beginning is only a small shop, I very want to develop it. On one occasion, a very good friend and I go to my home, he also brought a friend, we are chatting chatting is said here I really want to give up and housing development on the topic of when my friends friend, he said he had a friend, there are more than one thousand real hand bags, because home have something need to deal with, I was tempted you listen, take time to go look at the, the style is good, Ill use 10 sure-fire bought, but a few days later I received the goods, found that there is something wrong with the goods. At that time wanted to sell, suddenly thought of champions have garden, then put the heart a horizontal, is dumped goods 10 yuan a go out, the result was almost closed. Today in the morning to be able to change and also our philosophy has important relationship. At the beginning of haier group, too!"

Can be seen from the above example, honesty and hand letter is indispensable to our growth path. The old saying about; "You will lose some time we must give up big or small. The foundation of good faith, people.

诚信，从字面上看可以分为诚实与守信。诚实与守信，顾名思义。诚实是对自己负责，守信是对他人负责。俗语说：“君子一言，驷马难追。”重信誉、守诚信是我们中华民族的传统美德。山东省济南市港沟县神武村的村民就用行动来诠释了中华美德——守诚信。

在1948年济南战役时，5位烈士为国捐躯，刘延宝的爷爷受部队首长之托，照看5位烈士，而刘家人节衣缩食花钱请人刻了五个墓碑，并在周围栽上了松柏。承君一诺、必守终生。刘家人为了信守对部队首长的诺言这一守便是63年，刘家祖孙四代无论世事如何变迁，一直坚守心中的承诺。刘家人的事迹是一首忠义的赞歌。

刘家人用行动诠释了守承诺，然而淘宝网店一路走势红火的上上屋却是用惨痛代价告诉我们重信誉的重要性。

上上屋总裁在一次访问中说道：“上上屋在最开始的时候只是一家小店，我很想把它发展一下。有一次，一个和我很好的朋友去我家做客，他还带了一个朋友，我们聊着聊着就说到了我很想把上上屋发展一下的话题上，当时我朋友的朋友就说他有一个朋友，手里有一千多个真皮包，因为家里有点事需要处理一下，我当时一听就心动了，抽空去看了一下，样式还不错，我就用10万全买了，可是过了几天我收到货的时候，就发现货有问题。当时本想卖了，突然想到‘冠生园’的事，后来把心一横，就把货10元一个甩了出去，结果当时差点倒闭了。今天上上午能够如此蒸蒸日上也和我们的理念有重要关系。当初的海尔集团也是如此啊!”

从上面的例子可以看出，诚实和手信是我们成长道路上不可缺少的伙伴。古语讲;“有得必有失”有些时候我们必须舍大取小。诚信二字，人之根本。

whats your plan for dragon boat festival?

As a chinese, I was really ashamed of having a little knowledge of dragon boat festival. Perhaps I was born in northern city, though my city is nearby sea, it has been built a U port which I can only see cargo ships and cant see the sweeping ocean. So I have never see the dragon boat contest since I was born. So the dragon boat festival is just a holiday for eating Zong Zi. My mother made Zong Zi when I was a child. Because there was no supermarket, we couldnt buy finished product from market. However, now, we can buy anything in supermarket, so my mother didnt make them anymore. The boat festival began to fade out my mind.

In reality, young people began to have a bug to celebrate foreign festivals, such as Christams, Saint Valentines day, April Fools Day, some people also celebrate Easter in church. Talk about Dragon boat festival, its the same as some foreign conventional festivals, such as Witchs Day in Czech. People burned the witchs puppet so as to welcome spring. Some people are willing to celebrate foreign festivals because they like alien culture. And vice versa, foreigners who like China also concern about Chinese traditional culture.

After new holiday regulation, we have three holidays during the dragon boat festival. So many people will choose this time to travel. People who lived in Xiamen are able to visit Xiapu or Wu Yi mountain, these tourist attractions are in Fujian province,which is suit a short tirp. but Id like to stay at home for my decorate painting. I decide to draw two canvases about Christmas, its really a big project. Then Ill hang them on the new house wall. I must start it now, or I cant finish them before Christmas eve. But I preceive its a little difficult to draw them in such a hot season. ​

你的端午节计划是什么?

作为一个中国人，我对端午节有点了解真是惭愧。也许我出生在北方城市，虽然我的城市在附近的海，它已经建立了一个U端口，我只能看到货船和无法看到席卷大海。所以我从出生起就再也没有见过龙舟比赛。所以端午节只是吃粽子的节日。当我还是个孩子的时候，我妈妈就做了粽子。因为没有超市，我们不能从市场上买到成品。然而，现在，我们可以买任何东西在超市，所以我的母亲没有让他们了。端午节开始淡出我的脑海。

在现实中，年轻人开始有了庆祝外国节日，如圣诞节、情人节、四月愚人节，也有些人庆祝复活节教堂。谈端午节，它同国外的一些传统节日，如巫婆的一天在捷克。人们焚烧巫婆木偶以迎接春天。有些人愿意庆祝外国节日，因为他们喜欢异族文化。反之亦然，外国人喜欢中国也关注中国传统文化。

经过新的假期规定，端午节期间我们有三个假期。所以很多人会选择这次旅行。住在厦门的人们都能够访问霞浦或吴仪山，这些旅游景点都在福建省，这是适合短期旅行。但我想呆在家里做我的装饰画。我决定画关于圣诞节的两画布，它真是一个大项目。然后我把它们挂在新房子的墙上。我必须现在开始，否则我不能在圣诞节前夕完成它们。但我认为其借鉴他们在这样一个炎热的季节，有点困难。

Recently, we often show that shopping online is better than in store, but

is this really the case? Actually, there is no consensus of opinions among

people as to the view of shopping online is better than traditional shopping.

Some people consider that online shopping will replace the mall shopping, stores

will disappear in the future, while others argue that stores would unlikely to

be disappeared, it has its own advantages.

Most people shopping online because it is very convenient, there is no need

to go out, just click the mouse gently, they can buy the goods they want. In

addition, goods online are cheaper than entity shop that buyers can save a lot

of money. But even the coin has two sides. Online shopping also has advantages

and disadvantages. In recent years, we see a lot of news about online cheating,

and many buyers complain about poor quality of the goods, which is different

with the description.

However, the situation above is rare in traditional shopping store, because

the guest can communicate with the seller face to face. Buyers can also see

goods intuitively. But the traditional shopping does not convenience as well as

online shopping, for example, if people meet a traffic jam on the way to the

shopping which will affect the happy mood of shopping.

Spring is my favorite season. In spring days, everything comes out. While

you are walking outside, your eyes will be filled with green.

In spring days, our world is a sunny place, which is covered with green

trees and colorful flowers, so it can be described as a paradise. Especially

when you are in the countryside, you can see green mountains, vast fields, clean

streams, and all the living creatures, coexisting harmoniously. All of them make

up the most beautiful picture in the world.

In spring days, the sun shines brightly, and theres also some pleasant

breeze. So how charming it is while feeling the spring wind blow us. Its also

wonderful to enjoy the beautiful sunshine. You will also get a lot of

refreshments while having a walk outside.

I hope we can enjoy the life of spring every day.

On New Years Eve, I turned on the TV as usual to watch the Spring Festival

Gala, and watched it for more than half an hour. Suddenly, an unexpected program

caught the whole familys eyes and deeply moved us. On the screen, there was the

hospital background of Wuhan city. Doctors and nurses were wearing white

protective clothing, and their faces were wearing plastic transparent covers

integrated with clothing. They were fighting against the virus and life danger

Time race. With the host reciting "love is a bridge", I felt a torrent in my

heart. I kept bumping and bumping. I knew that the program was added temporarily

because of the severe situation. Although it had not been rehearsed, it still

made many people cry. No one in the hospital would want to hide, no one would be

lazy, no one would want to make a phone call with his family They regard those

suffering compatriots as their parents and children, and they are determined to

save these patients just like their families.

As soon as everyone steps into junior middle schools, English plays an important role in our daily life. Whats more, with China entering the WTO, English has become the most popular foreign language in China. As a student, I think everyone should have a good knowledge of English. However, nowadays the majority of students have great difficulty in learning English. How does the problem come about? For me, I am into English. In my opinion, the reason is that a great many students have no interest and confidence in learning English.

So, I think it is important to develop an interest in English and to remember that patience is the key to learning English. Then try your best and take every chance to communicate with others in English. Besides, by listening to English tapes you may make great progress. I suggest buying some English magazines and newspapers, such as English Weekly, the best among them, which will help you a lot.

Do as I have said above, you will be successful sooner or later.

Making Every Day Earth Day

Now the earth is in bad condition. For example, in some places, the air and water pollution is so serious that it causes many deaths. At the same time, many animals and plants are in danger because of the destruction of their habitats.

Luckily, we human beings have realized the problem. On April 22nd, millions of people across the world do something good for the earth. Some clean up beaches and water, some pick up rubbish, others give speeches to call on more people to take action. But can we save the earth only by one day’s work? The future of our planet depends on our efforts. What we should do is to make every day Earth Day. Only by taking good care of it every day can we hope to live in harmony with nature.

My father is a hardworking man and he is very kind.I love him very much.Every morning he gets up earlyto makeus breakfast. In the evening, he is alwayscome back home late. At weekends, he oftengoes outwith me and my mother for fun. He is a man of few words, but he often says to me "A little learning is a dangerous thing". I will always remember hiswords.

Once， when I was a teenager， my father and I were standing in line to buy tickets for the circus. Finally， there was only one family between us and the ticket counter.

This family made a big impression on me. There were eight children， all probably under the age of 12. You could tell they didnt have a lot of money.

Their clothes were not expensive， but they were clean. The children were well-behaved， all of them standing in line， two-by-two behind their parents， holding hands. They were excitedly jabbering about the clowns， elephants， and other acts they would see that night.

One could sense they had never been to the circus before. It promised to be a highlight of their young lives. The father and mother were at the head of the pack， standing proud as could be.

The mother was holding her husbands hand， looking up at him as if to say， "Youre my knight in shining armor."

He was smiling and basking in pride， looking back at her as if to reply， "You got that right."

The ticket lady asked the father how many tickets he wanted. He proudly responded， "Please let me buy eight childrens tickets and two adult tickets so I can take my family to the circus."

The ticket lady quoted the price. The mans wife let go of his hand， her head dropped， and his lip began to quiver. The father leaned a little closer and asked， "How much did you say?"

The ticket lady again quoted the price. The man didnt have enough money.

How was he supposed to turn and tell his eight kids that he didn‘t have enough money to take them to the circus? Seeing what was going on， my dad put his hand in his pocket， pulled out a $20 bill and dropped it on the ground. (We were not wealthy in any sense of the word!)
