亲爱的老师，同学们：

我很高兴可以在这个课堂上做一次演讲。这一次，我想谈谈英语。我的话题是我爱英语。

正如每个人所知，英语在今天十分重要。它已经被应用到世界的各个角落。它已经成为商业上最为通用的一门语言并广泛的用于国际贸易。如果我们能说好英语，我们就有更多的机会成功。因为越来越多的人注意到这一点，学英语的人数正在已很高的速度增长。

但是对我而言，我学英语不仅仅因为它的重要性以及它的实用性，更是因为我喜爱英语。当我学英语时，我可以体会到一种不同的思维方式，它可以给我更多接触世界的空间。当我读英语小说时，我能感受到不同于阅读翻译文的快乐。当我说英语时，我可以感到自信。当我写英语时，我能够感到不同于汉语的那种美……

我爱英语，它给了我一个色彩斑斓的梦。我希望有朝一日我可以畅游世界，用我流利的英语，我可以和世界各地的人交友。我能看到许多的名胜。我希望我能够到伦敦去，因为那里是英语的故乡。

我也希望用我流利的英语来将我们的名胜介绍给说英语的朋友，我希望他们可以像我们一样的爱我们的国家。

我知道，罗马不是一天筑成的。(成功需要日积月累。)我相信在持续不断的努力学习下，总有一天我可以拥有一口流利的英语。

如果你想被爱，你就应该学着去爱他人。所以我相信我对英语的爱定将换来它对我的爱。

我相信总有一天我会实现我的梦!

谢谢!

Today, I read a famous American writer Ernest Hemingways novel "the old man and the sea", the book left a deep impression on me, I very admire book old fishermans will, he let me know how a person must have unremitting spirit, could succeed.

On the description of the old man and the sea is a nearly sixty years old fisherman, in a single sea, caught a big fish, but do not go up. Old fisherman with the fish have a few days later, only to find that this is a more than his fishing boat several times of the big marlin, while knowing that it is difficult to win, but still dont give up. Later, because of the big marlin wound fishy drew several group of sharks eat, but the old man wouldnt give up, so eventually break through, will be a big fish bones back to fishing port, let other fishermen to admire.

When I read my grandfather during a fierce battle with the sharks, I really worry about my grandfather, grandfather, however, is always the spirit of optimism to face some great difficulties, see here, I couldnt help think of yourself. When I met with some difficulties, I always feel very frustrated, feel very tired, really want to escape from reality. Look again at Santiago ALGOL grandpa, undeterred by whether encounter any difficulty, but bravely to face!

Life should also such, dont look like a picture of a death, want to have confidence in myself. Even if we encounter difficulties, should not let it to beat, should bravely to destroy it.

We are the future of our motherland, should be like Santiago aspiring ALGOL grandfather, to the pursuit of better, bigger targets. I believe that with my efforts, I will become like Santiago ALGOL grandpa so brave, so brave to fight.

今天，我读了美国著名作家海明威的小说《老人与海》，这本书给我留下了深刻的印象，我十分佩服书中老渔夫的意志，他让我懂得了一个人一定要有坚持不懈的精神，才能获得成功。

《老人与海 》描写的是一个年近六旬的老渔夫，在一次单身出海打鱼时，钓到了一条大鱼，却拉不上来。老渔夫同大鱼周旋了几天后，才发现这是一条超过自己渔船数倍的大马林鱼，虽然明知难以取胜，但仍不放弃。后来又因大马林鱼伤口上的鱼腥味引来了几群鲨鱼抢食，但老人不愿这样放弃，最终突出重围，将大鱼的骨头带回了渔港，让其他渔夫佩服不已。

当我读到爷爷与鲨鱼进行激烈的搏斗时，我真为爷爷担心，可是爷爷，总是保持着乐观的精神去面对一些极大的困难，看到这里，我不由得想起自己。每当我遇到了一些困难时，总是觉得很不顺心，觉得很烦，很想逃避现实。再看看桑提阿果爷爷，不管遇到任何困难也毫不退缩，而是勇敢地去面对!

做人也应该这样，不要一幅贪生怕死的样子，要对自己有信心。即使我们遇到重重困难，也绝不应该让它给打倒，应该勇敢地去消灭它。

我们是祖国的未来，应该像桑提阿果爷爷一样胸怀大志，去追求更好，更大的目标。我相信，在我的努力下，我一定会变得像桑提阿果爷爷那样勇敢，那样勇于拼搏。

Dear Tony,

Chong yang, the traditional Chinese festival for the elderly, is coming around. We are planning to visit

Nursing Home to celebrate the special day, and we would like to invite students from your school to join us.

We have planned several activities. When we get there, we will visit the elderly in their rooms in groups,

presenting them with flowers and self-made cards to show our respect and love. Then we will do some

cleaning and washing for them wi th the help of the nurses.

As some old people feel lonely, we may chat with them about their old days, changes of our city, or

anything they are interested in. We may also give them some performances: singing, dancing, and so on.

I am sure we will both gain a better understanding of the elderly in China. If you have any suggestions,

please let us know.

Looking forward to your early reply.

Yours,

Li Hua

今天，我看了一本书，它的名字叫做《老人与海》，这本书是美国的海明威写的，这本书的主人公叫做桑提阿果爷爷，就让我给你们讲讲这个故事吧！

小说的素材来自于真正的故事：桑提阿果爷爷独自在海上打鱼，他已经有好久没钓到一条鱼了，有一天，一只大鱼咬住了他的鱼钩，桑提阿果爷爷想把它拉上来，可拉不动，那条鱼带着桑提阿果爷爷一直游啊游，大鱼游得精疲力尽了，桑提阿果爷爷把大鱼的鱼头和上半身绑在小船边上。但是桑提阿果爷爷在回去的路上遇到了鲨鱼，老人使出了浑身力气和鲨鱼搏斗，鲨鱼把能吃到的鱼肉都吃了，回到家时，大鱼只剩下不到一半，却还有800磅左右。

这本书让我受益匪浅。桑提阿果爷爷不被任何困难所压服，尽自己最大的努力与生活中的磨难做不屈不挠的斗争。他说：“一个人并不是生来就要给打败的，你尽可以消灭他，却不能打败他。”这种永不言败的硬骨头精神深深地刻在了我的心上，有也要像桑提阿果爷爷那样，永不言败。

The International Childrens Day (ICD) is celebrated in numerous countries, usually (but not always) on June 1 each year.

The ICD had its origin in the World Conference for the Wellbeing of Children in Geneva, Switzerland in 1925. It is not clear as to why June 1 was chosen as the ICD: one theory has it that the Chinese consul-general in San Francisco (USA) gathered a number of Chinese orphans to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival in 1925, which happened to be on June 1 that year, and also coincided with the conference in Geneva.

June 1 has since been observed as the ICD by numerous countries, especially by Communist countries; in the Western world the ICD is usually celebrated on other days of the year (if at all)， and there is often little public awareness about these celebrations. (See the section on Germany below for further discussions.) Consequently there is sometimes a misperception that June 1 as the ICD was a Communist invention. Nonetheless, in recent years even some groups within the United States started observing the ICD on June 1.

国庆节演讲稿 中文

朋友，如果我问你什么是最高兴的事，也许你回答出各种各样的答案，但是，你无论如何也不会想到我们一位战士的回答，他说是“见到人”，见到人是最高兴的事。是啊，也许你会觉得诧异，但这却是酒泉卫星发射中心专用铁路巡线员的真实写照。这是今年春节我在军报上看到的一篇感人的--不!应该说是震撼心灵的报道。

自从我国在巴丹吉林沙漠深处建起酒泉卫星发射中心，就有了一条横穿戈壁、直达发射场的300公里的专用铁路。它是现在全国惟一一条由军队管理的铁路。路边上，孤零零有几座被称为“点号”的小屋，“点号”四周，沙海无边，荒凉得象月球，只有几丛骆驼刺在寒风中颤抖。“点号”里，就蹲着三两个长年巡线护路的兵。他们每天与外界交往的时间是一分钟。因为每天有趟军用列车路过这里，扔下点邮件和给养，停留一分钟。这就是他们见到人的惟一时刻。日复一日、年复一年的寂寞，这一分钟也就成了他们久久盼望的、也是他们最最高兴的时刻。

今年大年初一，一位记者到被称为“180”的小点号采访，那里住着小赵和小张两个士兵。小赵是一位来自江苏的已有3年兵龄的老兵，他说，他每天要去巡线一趟，每趟来回走20公里，当兵三年，相当于步行回老家一趟。新兵小张是四川中江黄继光家乡的人，他到点号的第二次巡线就遇上被称作“黑风”的沙暴，天地间黑压压一片，沙石劈头盖脸往身上砸，他说他抱紧铁轨整整一小时不敢动弹，差点没被埋在沙包里。说话间，小赵的姐姐从老家打来了电话，姐姐问：“你那里过年热闹吗?”小赵说：“热闹得很，有3个人呢，还有一条大黄狗”。“你那里冷吗?”，“不冷，暖和得很，才零下20度”。“你都3年没有回家了，爸妈以为你今年能回来过年，特意杀了猪，还几次到路口去守公交车。”这时，小赵的喉头滚了好几下，愣了半天，终于没能“幽默”出来。当记者告辞时，他俩紧紧地握住记者的手，久久不想松开，眼睛里突然溢出泪光，那眼神似乎在不加掩饰的恳求着：再留一会儿吧，哪怕是一分钟!

啊，一分钟，多么令人心颤的一分钟!看到这儿，我的心被震撼了，泪水也止不住掉了下来。我想，别说他们在那里要为我国在世界高技术领域占有一席之地，为实现中华民族千百年来的“飞天”梦想而拼搏，就是呆在那儿，也是奉献。 是的，作为军人，我知道，在雪山，在海岛，在荒原，在戈壁，有无数与小赵小张一样的士兵，为了祖国的强盛和人民的安宁，在默默忍受着艰辛与寂寞。作为军人，我更懂得，是军人这特殊的职业赋予了军人特殊的使命，特殊的使命赋予了军人特殊的追求。军人，也许就意味着奉献与牺牲。 难道不是吗?翻开中国革命的历史画卷，不难发现，其中最引人注目的便是那些为了祖国和人民的利益而驰骋疆场、马革裹尸的军人。从万里长征、八年抗战、南征北战到自卫还击、抗震救灾、抗洪抢险，多少年来，这支人民的军队，在党的绝对领导之下，经受着无数次血与火的洗礼，一次又一次向党和人民交出合格的答卷!就说那300公里航天大动脉，当年修建时就有120名忠骨埋在了沙丘。

小时候，我曾羡慕穿身军装，现在我终于实现了这个梦想，如今，我又跨进全军的高等学府――国防科技大学的校门。在这里，我又读到许许多多的银河人，他们将银河精神在新时代高高奏响，为响应江总书记“科技强军”的号召，在夜以继日的、默默的耕耘与劳作。 周光铭院士在接受记者采访时说过这样一句话：“我一生也就做了六台机器。”朋友，你想想，这六台是什么样的机器啊!难道还不够吗?这，就是我们老一代银河人的骄傲!

在研制银河Ⅲ期间，卢锡城同志带领年轻人向新的技术制高点冲击，有11名同志是在攻关战斗中度过新婚蜜月的，不少人连续三次春节都在机房里度过。就是凭着这种精神，他们创造了新的辉煌。这，就是新一代银河人的自豪! 如今，再看看我这身军装，我应该掂得出她的份量。在新的历史时期，我们军队仍然肩负着重大的历史使命。放心吧，祖国，放心吧，人民，时间流逝，斗转星移，永远抹不去的就是战士对党和人民的一颗赤胆忠心!青山和大地会证明我们的忠诚，蓝天和白云会昭示我们的誓言，“奉献”，我们认了，“牺牲”，我们说值!那是因为，共和国军人的心中只有一个期盼，那就是：为了共和国明天的辉煌!

In current days , with the development of society and economic ,series of social problems are appeared. In order to analyze this phenomenon three universities in Beijing jointly distribute an opinion poll about “Should you help the old when he/she falls down on the street?”.

From the result of this survey, we know that 29.6 percent of the people are surveyed think that whether they help the old or not will according to the circumstance. The people who will help the old are the most ,they accounted for 64.8 percent of them. And also have 8.3 percent hold the view that the old shouldn’t be help.

Why don’t they help the old falls down on the street? 5.3 percent of them are lack of medical knowledge. And 7.2 percent of them think that it’s not related to them. But the major, 87.4 percent of them are afraid of getting themselves into trouble.

Through this result, we can see clearly that crisis of confidence between people. Sincere and confidence are replaced by dishonest and hypocritical. Cautious and alert are deeply rooted.

In my opinion, we all should help each other. Respect and take good care of the old is the traditional Chinese virtues. When we meet the case, we’d better call health care workers for help. Because we lack of medical knowledge may cause more harm to the old. I hope there is less harm and more worm in our life.

万物复苏的春天，孕育着新生与希望。天空中放飞着一只只漂亮的风筝，其中最美的那只上面写着两个字“道德”。

每个人手中都握着“道德”风筝的线，有的人将这只风筝放得越来越高，而有的人却放飞了这只风筝，或许再也找不回来了。

紧握“道德”风筝的线，他得到了什么?

紧握住手中的线，他得到了尊敬与称颂。丛飞，一名歌手，生前倾其全力资助了183名贫困儿童，捐款捐物累计300多万元。他自己并不富裕，但却将义演经费悉数捐出，“他把所有的时间和金钱都给了那些需要帮助的孩子，没有丝毫保留，甚至不惜向生命借贷。”他用一生传递和弘扬着一种美德，他得到了社会的认可、人们的称颂与尊敬!

紧握手中的线，他们演绎出现代传奇。他们为尊严承诺，为良心奔波，在中华大地上进行了一场悲情接力 。孙水林、孙东林兄弟坚守着“新年不欠旧年账，今生不欠来生债”的信条，20年坚守承诺，被人们赞为“信义兄弟”。

松开了“道德”风筝的线，他失去了什么?

松开了“道德”风筝的线，他失去了人性和良知。今年愚人节，在上海浦东机场，发生了一个真实的悲剧：赴日留学生汪某因学费问题，与前来接机的母亲发生争执。汪某竟拔出水果刀连刺母亲9刀，致其当场昏迷。汪某虽放飞了“知识”的风筝，却松开了“道德”的风筝线，他失去了人性和良知。

类似事件也时有发生。8岁乖儿子因争吵欲掐死母亲，23岁青年杀死双亲后还去网吧上网，名牌大学的学生因母亲干涉自己的“人生的选择”挥刀弑母等……他们的“道德”风筝都断了线，而他们也失去了道德、良知，得到的是社会的批判、舆论的鞭挞以及永无止境的铁窗生活。

风筝只有在紧握者手中才能越飞越高，而松开了手，风筝就会坠落……

请不要松开“道德”风筝的线，生命的春天有了它才会更加美丽!

“道”在心中，“德”现举止，驻守道德之净土，亦得人生之幸福。 —— 题记

当道德之花不再盛开，残梗或许也无“孤芳自赏”的力量，黯淡或许成为这个世界最后的情景。

当道德之树不再常青，落叶或许也失“归根”的愿望，萧条或许占据了这个世界每一个角落。

当道德之风不再吹拂，雨滴或许不再“飞舞”于空，“风和日丽”或许已悄然消失于这个世界的上空。

社会的生存，人类的发展无不源于有道德的根基。有道德的匡扶社会才不会脱轨。道德渐渐离去，就在警示我们前方或许会发生灾难，此时的我们应努力修复道义的轨道，让你我安全前行。

背道弃德，将自己埋没。

当他的车轧过青春似火的生命时，当他的无知踏过道德底线时，那么他带来的不会是平静的生活，一切都被他的“无德”“无道”所埋没。幸福永远属于有规则的人。丧失了对自己的规范，丧失了固有的本性，又谈何真正的幸福，他又怎能享受幸福的真谛?或许当他喊出“我爸是李刚”时自我感觉到骄傲，但他不会想到他拥有的一切将付之东流。他的父亲或许会纵容他的放肆，但法律与道德却不容他的“无理取闹”。失去了亲情，失去了自由，将一切丧失，将自己埋没。

树道立德，让世界绚烂。

当携手共建“和谐社会”的气流流过上空时，让我们看到了希望，当道德悄然离去之时仍有“星星之火”在燃烧。如果每个人都能以道对人、以德待人，社会又凭什么不能安宁，我们的生活又凭什么不能幸福?手拉手，社会才会和谐;肩并肩，世界才会绚烂。

一切的底线都需道德来支撑，竖起道德的帆，让幸福走得更远。

立道于心，社会需要你我来维护;行德于路，幸福需要你我共付出。驻守道德的净土，知它，懂它，爱它，让它留在你我的身边，让它成就幸福的人生。

First, I’ll say something about World Expo History. As we know, the very first World Expo, the Great Exhibition of 1851, took place in the Crystal Palace in London. UK. Ever since then, the goals of World Expos have been both high-minded as well as commercial. Visitors are able to explore the world outside of their everyday experience—outside cultures, new scientific advancements, and new inventions. World Expos have excited and inspired more and more people in the world

On December3, 2002, the Bureau of International Expositions (or call it BIE) announced that Shanghai will host Expo2010. the BIE had received bids from five cities to host Expo2010. Among the 5 nice cities, the BIE chose Shanghai at last! It’s really an exciting news for not only Shanghainese, but also all of Chinese people. Here are some details about it.

Loot at this profile carefully. The title is “The 2010 World Exposition ,Shanghai, China ”。 this is the logo.

And the theme is “better city., better life”。OK, let’s guess who is the image representative? Yeah, you’re right, Yao Ming!

Shanghai Expo is the first comprehensive World Expo held in a developing country. And it is also the first one that takes “the city” as its theme, hoping that it can push forward the city development and help bring about a better urban living environment, just like the theme: better city, better life.

I think, as a student in Shanghai, we should learn to be a gentle person and keep good manners from now on. And try to practice English more in order to communicate with foreigners fluently in the near future. Because, we’re a part of Shanghai!

When I was a middle school student, I’ve finished this book in Chinese.But when I read it in English,I really gain something new both in the way of expression and the spirit it shows to us.May be different ages to read the same book we will learn different things from it.At least, for my part, that is true.

Firstly,I would like to review some information about this book.Such as the background,major characters and the topic of it.

The Old Man and the Sea is a story by Ernest Hemingway, written in Cuba in 1951 and published in 1952. It was the last major work of fiction to be produced by Hemingway and published in his lifetime. One of his most famous works, it centers upon Santiago, an aging Cuban fisherman who struggles with a giant marlin far out in the Gulf Stream.

The Old Man and the Sea served to reinvigorate Hemingways literary reputation and prompted a reexamination of his entire body of work. The novella was initially received with much popularity; it restored many readers confidence in Hemingways capability as an author. Its publisher, Scribners, on an early dust jacket, called the novella a "new classic," and many critics favorably compared it with such works as William Faulkners "The Bear" and Herman Melvilles Moby-Dick.

This book gives me a deep impression especially the description about the man’s braveness and persistence.

In this book, in order to suggest the profundity of the old man’s sacrifice and the glory that derives from it, Hemingway purposefully likens Santiago to Christ, who, according to Christian theology, gave his life for the greater glory of humankind. Crucifixion imagery is the most noticeable way in which Hemingway creates the symbolic parallel between Santiago and Christ. When Santiago’s palms are first cut by his fishing line, the reader cannot help but think of Christ suffering his stigmata. Later, when the sharks arrive, Hemingway portrays the old man as a crucified martyr, saying that he makes a noise similar to that of a man having nails driven through his hands. Furthermore, the image of the old man struggling up the hill with his mast across his shoulders recalls Christ’s march toward Calvary. Even the position in which Santiago collapses on his bed—face down with his arms out straight and the palms of his hands up—brings to mind the image of Christ suffering on the cross. Hemingway employs these images in the final pages of the novella in order to link Santiago to Christ, who exemplified transcendence by turning loss into gain, defeat into triumph, and even death into renewed life.

The major characters in this book are also vivid and lively.

Santiago?,the old man of the novella’s title, Santiago is a Cuban fisherman who has had an extended run of bad luck. Despite his expertise, he has been unable to catch a fish for eighty-four days. He is humble, yet exhibits a justified pride in his abilities. His knowledge of the sea and its creatures, and of his craft, is unparalleled and helps him preserve a sense of hope regardless of circumstance.

The marlin?,Santiago hooks the marlin, which we learn at the end of the novella measures eighteen feet, on the first afternoon of his fishing expedition. Manolin?,a boy presumably in his adolescence, Manolin is Santiago’s apprentice and devoted attendant. The old man first took him out on a boat when he was merely five years old. Due to Santiago’s recent bad luck, Manolin’s parents have forced the boy to go out on a different fishing boat. Manolin, however, still cares deeply for the old man, to whom he continues to look as a mentor.

Joe DiMaggio, although DiMaggio never appears in the novel, he plays a significant role nonetheless. Santiago worships him as a model of strength and commitment, and his thoughts turn toward DiMaggio whenever he needs to reassure himself of his own strength. Perico ?,Perico, the reader assumes, owns the bodega in Santiago’s village. He never appears in the novel, but he serves an important role in the fisherman’s life by providing him with newspapers that report the baseball scores. This act establishes him as a kind man who helps the aging Santiago.

Martin,like Perico, Martin, a café owner in Santiago’s village, does not appear in the story. The reader learns of him through Manolin, who often goes to Martin for Santiago’s supper. As the old man says, Martin is a man of frequent kindness who deserves to be repaid.

From the very first paragraph, Santiago is characterized as someone struggling against defeat. He has gone eighty-four days without catching a fish—he will soon pass his own record of eighty-seven days. Almost as a reminder of Santiago’s struggle, the sail of his skiff resembles “the flag of permanent defeat.” But the old man refuses defeat at every turn: he resolves to sail out beyond the other fishermen to where the biggest fish promise to be. He lands the marlin, tying his record of eighty-seven days after a brutal three-day fight, and he continues to ward off sharks from stealing his prey, even though he knows the battle is useless.

Because Santiago is pitted against the creatures of the sea, some readers choose to view the tale as a chronicle of man’s battle against the natural world, but the novella is, more accurately, the story of man’s place within nature. Both Santiago and the marlin display qualities of pride, honor, and bravery, and both are subject to the same eternal law: they must kill or be killed. As Santiago reflects when he watches the weary warbler fly toward shore, where it will inevitably meet the hawk, the world is filled with predators, and no living thing can escape the inevitable struggle that will lead to its death. Santiago lives according to his own observation: “man is not made for defeat . . . [a] man can be destroyed but not defeated.” In Hemingway’s portrait of the world, death is inevitable, but the best men (and animals) will nonetheless refuse to give in to its power. Accordingly, man and fish will struggle to the death, just as hungry sharks will lay waste to an old man’s trophy catch.

The novel suggests that it is possible to transcend this natural law. In fact, the very inevitability of destruction creates the terms that allow a worthy man or beast to transcend it. It is precisely through the effort to battle the inevitable that a man can prove himself. Indeed, a man can prove this determination over and over through the worthiness of the opponents he chooses to face. Santiago finds the marlin worthy of a fight, just as he once found “the great negro of Cienfuegos” worthy. HSantiago, though destroyed at the end of the novella, is never defeated. Instead, he emerges as a hero. Santiago’s struggle does not enable him to change man’s place in the world. Rather, it enables him to meet his most dignified destiny.

While it is certainly true that Santiago’s eighty-four-day run of bad luck is an affront to his pride as a masterful fisherman, and that his attempt to bear out his skills by sailing far into the gulf waters leads to disaster, Hemingway does not condemn his protagonist for being full of pride. On the contrary, Santiago stands as proof that pride motivates men to greatness. Because the old man acknowledges that he killed the mighty marlin largely out of pride, and because his capture of the marlin leads in turn to his heroic transcendence of defeat, pride becomes the source of Santiago’s greatest strength. Without a ferocious sense of pride, that battle would never have been fought, or more likely, it would have been abandoned before the end.

Santiago’s pride also motivates his desire to transcend the destructive forces of nature. Throughout the novel, no matter how baleful his circumstances become, the old man exhibits an unflagging determination to catch the marlin and bring it to shore. When the first shark arrives, Santiago’s resolve is mentioned twice in the space of just a few paragraphs. Even if the old man had returned with the marlin intact, his moment of glory, like the marlin’s meat, would have been short-lived. The glory and honor Santiago accrues comes not from his battle itself but from his pride and determination to fight.

Santiago dreams his pleasant dream of the lions at play on the beaches of Africa three times. The first time is the night before he departs on his three-day fishing expedition, the second occurs when he sleeps on the boat for a few hours in the middle of his struggle with the marlin, and the third takes place at the very end of the book. In fact, the sober promise of the triumph and regeneration with which the novella closes is supported by the final image of the lions. Because Santiago associates the lions with his youth, the dream suggests the circular nature of life. Additionally, because Santiago imagines the lions, fierce predators, playing, his dream suggests a harmony between the opposing forces—life and death, love and hate, destruction and regeneration—of nature.

This book gives me courage of conquering all kinds of difficulties .And I have the belief that the most beautiful thing is the process that we make our best to achieve our dream,and never say give up .

As the saying goes, filial piety is the most important in all virtues. To respect the elderly is the Chinese traditional virtue. To respect the elderly is also the progress of human science development. If human have proper thoughts, the society can develop healthily. To care the elders is not only for a child and a family, but also for a society and a country. So this problem has become a hot issue.

As children, they should take care of the elderly in material and spirit. For example, they ought to go back home often to see their parents and accompany them. As the government, they should perfect the legal, because the system is far from perfect. What’s more, the government should provide assistance for the elderly.

Success, as is known, is the pursuit of many ambitious people. It requires much of a person.

In my  above all, one should be a person of strong perseverance. Rome was not built in a day. On our long way to success, there are  undoubtedly many difficulties standing in the way. If we lose heart and give up

halfway, nothing can be achieved. Throughout history, we havehad many famous successful people in the world, of whom no one is weak-minded. Take the great American scientist Edison as an example, he tried experiment after experiment and had one failure after another before he finally invented the bulb, which lighted up the whole world. So we can conclude perseverance can surely be one of the secrets of success. Furthermore, one needs to work hard to realize his dream just as the famous saying goes “Hard work leads to success”.

Look at these around us and we’ll find diligent people are always the favor of our society. They usually achieve more than expected. Why do so many of our classmates of average intelligence go far ahead of othersHard work is definitely supposed to be the answer. And still, I hold that one must keep in pace with the informative world. There’s no denying that our world is changing every day. So one can never be locked alone inside his own room, doing his research work and dedicated to book knowledge

How can an isolated person be well-informed enough to go ahead of othersIf so, that could be ridiculous. Success is what one desires. So long as one is perseverant, hard working and up-to-date, I am sure success is near at hand

The Double Ninth Festival is coming. Every family is busy preparing for the

Double Ninth Festival. My home is no exception. Look, my father is making

Chongyang cake, my mother is making Chongyang wine, and my grandparents are

cooking. As for me, of course, its backup support - preparing materials for

grandparents.

After a while, I ran sweating. Watching my grandparents and parents cooking

food, I was a little jealous. Why can they make food, I cant. Watch me cook a

dish to impress them. So I sneaked to my grandparents and took some materials.

Without looking at them, I poured them into the pot. I picked up the spatula and

began to fry. But when I was frying, I felt something wrong. I always felt that

a strange smell floated around in the air. I looked into the pot. It turned out

that the materials I took were chocolate sauce and eggs, and fried them into

chocolate flavored eggs. My grandmother wanted to put materials into the pot.

When the eggs and chocolate sauce were gone, she called me, "Congcong, buy me

some materials. Im short of eggs and chocolate sauce." well, I thought in my

heart, so I had to tell the story again.

So I told the story in detail. Grandma laughed and said, "congcongcong,

grandma, Ill teach you a dish, but I want to buy some materials. I dont know

if youd like to?" "of course I do!" as I said, I ran out of the house quickly

and bought materials back. "This dish is called God robbery. Its done like

this: smash the eggs, put the beaten eggs into the mold, pour some water, put

the gluten into the mold, put some small chocolate on it, and then heat it in

the microwave for 10 minutes." who knows, its not done well this time, but its

made into something full of water.

The second time, just like the last time. Just when I was ready to give up,

I saw the spiders outside. I thought: since the spiders web is broken, the

spider can still weave again. Spiders have such a persistent spirit, why cant

I? So I started the third time. I did every step carefully and finally did the

God robbery. I took a bite. It was delicious.

This time, let me taste not

only the sweetness in my mouth, but also the sweetness in my heart.

As we can see from the picture , an old woman sits on the chair as if she is talking with her images in the front mirror and shadows on the wall,saying that “my sons have gone to work and my grandsons have gone to school ,leaving me alone at the cold house.

The picture does reflect a thought-provoking social phenomenon. Nowadays , a majority of the aged in china have the Empty-nest syndrome which means that the aged have no family members to accompany with so that they feel lonely and helpless, as which reflects in the picture. The widely existence of the Empty-nest syndrome mainly owing to many people’s occupation of personal affairs,especially in work and children’s education,which leads to their having no time caring their old parents and even neglecting them.

This phenomenon reflected in the picture is immoral and distressed. It is well-known that caring the aged and not making them feel lonely and hopeless is not only the traditional virtue cherished by Chinese but also a duty laid down in the constitution. In order to prevent such phenomenon typified in the picture ,we should make efforts to promote moral education ,and ,at the time ,strengthen the regulations and laws . Only in these ways can we ensure a better life for the aged.

Then, we can gain their respects for us.

Of course, there are still a lot of things we can do to build the harmonious campus. Anyway, doing something good to our campus is our duty. Let’s do it from now on.

The blue sky and white clouds, hope that somehow the freedom of flight. Teachers and parents, we hope that the healthy growth. Now , I’d like to write music to harmonious campus.

导语：现如今老人越来越多，我们要多多照顾他们，下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的优秀英语作文，欢迎阅读与借鉴，谢谢!

It is estimated that by the year 2025,Chinawill have 150 million elderly. We should take an active attitude toward old people. They should not be regarded as burdens but part of the wealth of society. Having gone through all sorts of trials and tribulations in life, the elderly know better than the younger generation about the meaning of happiness and grief. Having stood up to the tests of life for many years, they have accumulated knowledge, wisdom and practical experience, which are indispensable to social development and human civilization. “Respecting the old and caring for the young” has been part of our fine tradition and valuable heritage.

When people become old, they tend to easily get upset, frustrated, and are afraid of being loneliness. They, therefore, expect more spiritual comfort and emotional interaction from their children and friends. The younger generation should take more time to talk with them. Meanwhile, a better social environment should be created, one in which old people will be feeling life is beautiful and worth living.

Personally, I would like to make the following proposals: Teams of young volunteers should be set up to help these pensioners. They can spare some time to have a heart-to-heart communication with them, hoping to find what they are thinking in their inner world and offer some help to them. Classes for retirees should be organized, where old men and women can study calligraphy, painting, health care, singing and dancing and have sports suitable to them. Some special clubs should also be established, which old people can talk to each other so as to ward off loneliness and lose.

据估计，到2025年中国的老人数量将会达到15亿。我们应该对老人抱有积极的态度。他们不应该被看做事负担而是社会财富的一部分。历经生活的各种患难，老人们比年轻一代更懂得什么是幸福和悲伤。经受住了多年生活的考验，他们积累了知识、智慧和实践经验，这些是社会发展和人类文明必不可少的。尊老爱幼已经成为我们的优良传统和宝贵遗产。

当人们变老的时候，他们容易变得烦恼、沮丧和害怕孤独。因此，他们希望从孩子和朋友那里得到更多的精神慰藉和情感互动。年轻的一代应该花更多的时间和他们谈心。同时，我们应该营造一个更好的社会环境，让老人们觉得生活是美好的、值得享受的。

就个人而言，我想要提出以下建议。首先，应该建立青年志愿者队伍去帮助这些老人。他们可以花一些时间和老人们进行心与心之间的交流，试图发现他们内心世界的想法并且给他们提供帮助。其次，应组织离退人员进行课程培训，使这些老人能够学习书法，绘画，保健，唱歌跳舞以及做些适合他们的运动。最后，应该建立一些特殊俱乐部让老人们可以相互交谈以驱除孤独和失落。

开始，老人先是准备了几天，然后划船离开码头。几天后，他找到合适的地点钓起鱼来。可令他非常意外的事情发生了，他捕到一条大鱼，然而当天，他没办法把那条鱼拉上来，因为鱼太大太有力量了。就这样，一场较量开始了。连继二天，他们都在拉来拉去。到了第三天，较量终于以老人获胜结束了。老人发现那条大鱼竟然比老人的船还长，老人决定把那条大鱼绑在船舷上返航。可一件非常不幸的事发生了，途中鲨鱼开始吃那条鱼。就这样，老人和鲨鱼战斗起来。每天，老人都要打死一些鲨鱼，虽然很残酷，可要保住这条鱼又有什么办法呢。

最终，鱼肉被鲨鱼吃光了，只剩下骨架，老人被打败了。然而他休息了几天，又准备出海打鱼了。

我要学习老人坚持不懈的精神。

First I want to ask you some questions:

1、 Do you know what is youth?

2、 How do you master your youth?

Youth

Youth is not a time of life, it is a state of mind ; it is not rosy cheeks , red lips and supple knees, it is a matter of the emotions : it is the freshness ; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life .

Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity of the appetite , for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20 . Nobody grows old merely by a number of years . We grow old by deserting our ideals.

Years wrinkle the skin , but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul . Worry , fear , self –distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust .

Whether 60 of 16 , there is in every human being ‘s heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing childlike appetite of what’s next and the joy of the game of living . In the center of your heart and my heart there’s a wireless station : so long as it receives messages of beauty , hope ,cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite, so long as you are young .

When the aerials are down , and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old ,even at 20 , but as long as your aerials are up ,to catch waves of optimism , there is hope you may die young at 80.

Thank you!

今年已经74岁高龄的陈观玉是深圳市知名公益人士，曾获得过“全国三八红旗手”称号。她在通过媒体获知此事后，于1月8日晚从深圳几经转车前往事发地，一方面是为了安慰吴伟青的家人，另一方面想以同龄人的身份，向摔倒入院的周老汉了解事实真相。

1月9日下午1时许，陈观玉见到仍躺在病床上的周老汉。记者从两人的对话录音中可以听到，陈观玉询问周老汉的伤怎样了?是怎样摔倒的?谁将周老汉送去医院的?

周老汉的回答是：“是自己摔倒的，经过的人将我送去医院。”

而后，陈观玉特意加重语气问道：“是不是送你去医院的人，把你撞倒了?”周老汉明确回答：“不是。”

陈观玉紧接着问为什么要冤枉吴伟青时，周老汉给出的解释是，“没钱治病，指望他给钱用。”当陈观玉说出吴伟青以自杀证清白的事情后，周老汉再也没有作声。
