In your spoken English class, your teacher shows you the following picture. You are asked to describe the picture and explain how you understand it.

What an interesting picture! A western young man, sitting at a table, is ready to eat a bowl of noodles. He is holding two forks the same way as we Chinese hold chopsticks. He is trying so hard to pick up the noodles that he is sweating a lot. At first glance, I think it’s a bit funny, for we Chinese take for granted that chopsticks are the tools for eating noodles. The man in the picture is trying to copy us. Obviously he is doing it the hard way. Maybe using one fork will do a better job, In my opinion, we don’t need to copy others’ ways of thinking. Sometimes a simpler way of doing things may be a better way.

好的团队，是可以提升一个人的综合能力的，不管是为人处事，还是相关的专业方面的能力。

以前只是觉得这道理是正确的。现在则是渐渐地觉得，这道理简单是太对了。

好的团队，就是好的伙伴，就是一群都很积极上进，想着有更好发展的人在一起，在彼此想懈怠，掉队的时候，互相拉扯上一把。前不久，新闻中提到了学霸宿舍，就是这样的一个缩影吧。

同一个宿舍里的几个学生，都不约而同地考了世界的研究生，博士生。其中，就是存在他们互相督促，互相鼓励的力量。

当有一个同学因为学累了，或者其他原因导致学习情绪低落，立马就有同伴给予鼓励与支持，把目标具像化，激励着对方。

可以说，在这样的氛围中，是幸运的，当然也要当事人自己是非常有努力上进的内心的。

还看过一个故事，说有一对父子去旅行，后来他们到了一个像民宿一样的地方，那里住着一群自由自在的艺术家。

这些艺术家的生活很简朴，他们的日常内容有的是写歌，有的是画画，所以他们把大部分的资金都放在艺术创作上，所以对于生活要求不高，所以他们一群人是像学生时代一样，住在一个宿舍里的。

他们有着规律的生活，就像早起这一点。但是每个人早起的时间点是不一样的。

于是在这种想过自律的早起生活，但又不影响他人的情况，他们居然是把闹钟统一放在屋子中间的桌子上，这样不管是谁的闹钟响，那人怕吵醒别人，就会赶紧起床关闹钟，这样就起到了迫使自己早起的作用。

后来渐渐地生物钟形成了，很多人就会在闹钟响来的前几分钟就醒了，就避免了吵到别人了。

这就是有同样积极上进的意识，这样的一个氛围，一个团队，是真的很棒。

因为热爱祖国，钱老毅然冒着生命危险—回到祖国;

因为热爱水稻，袁隆平顶着闲言碎语研究杂交水稻;

因为热爱华夏民族，青少年投身于知识的海洋，只为中华之崛起而努力;

因为热爱中国，我们甘愿付出，只为它明天能比今天更好。

钱学森，这位伟人的老人，他知识渊博，才华出众，在国外学习，连外国人都称赞他为天才。美国政府愿意支付巨额工资，只为让他在美国工作。可是他却毅然决然的拒绝了。只是因为心系祖国，渴望回到祖国，将自己的才能奉献给祖国。他的愿望是如此的强烈，以致于在美国政府以其生命威胁的条件下阻拦他返回中国，他还是毅然的带上一家老小在周恩来的帮助下回到祖国。他为中国贡献是巨大的，人们亲切的称他为“两弹元老”。

袁隆平，他说他的愿望是让每个人都吃饱饭，让水稻长成甘蔗一样高，米粒像鸡蛋一样大。让大家不愁吃，不愁穿，家家过上小康一般的生活。他可不是开玩笑，虽然他并不高大，而且每天面朝黄土，背朝天，人又黑又瘦，但他真的成功了，他研究出来的水稻，虽没有鸡蛋大，却让中国的水稻增产了好几倍，几乎每家都能吃饱，穿暖。当初讽刺他杂交水稻，为自己当初的话而羞愧。隆袁平，他是全国的恩人，为全国人带来了饱满的米饭。但当有人夸奖他时，他只是挠挠头，不好意思的说：“我只是热爱水稻，热爱祖国，能专业于我热爱的水稻，还能为祖国带来利益，是我的荣幸。

不管是钱学森，还是袁隆平，他们都是因为热爱祖国，所以不怕困难，不畏坚辛，甘愿付出毕生的精力，只为祖国的明天更兴盛，更强大。

所以我们青少年作为祖国明天的花朵，更应该想他们看齐，为中国的崛起而奋斗。现在有很多青少年，因为考试的失败，父母的闲言碎语而想不开，以致于结束了自己年轻的生命。我认为这是很不该的。如果我们能看着钱老和袁隆平博士为中国付出的艰辛，是否会有愧疚的感觉。现在，让我们昂起头，向前走，努力学习，为祖国的未来而学习。

Dear Mr. Wang,

We’re so pleased that you are willing to share our views.

In the course of the general revision, what we need is solid foundation. As you know, we didn’t learn well enough in the first two years, so please slow down and make sure we have really mastered something. Besides, we need a little more time to think for ourselves. As for those important points which also make us confused, would you please give us more practice in case we forget? Meanwhile, we need your instruction, for example, in how to write in natural English. I still have another request: assign us less homework in order that we can do it more efficiently.

By the way, we often feel frustrated, which has a very bad effect on our study. We would appreciate it if you would give us some encouragement from time to time.

As world leaders are in Copenhagen (哥本哈根)this month，talks about climate change are gathering steam. But is climate change the most pressing threat(威胁)for mankind?

Write an essay to show your opinions on the most immediate threat for mankind.

Directions：

1. About 200 words

2. Support your position with reasoning and examples.

3. Give the essay a proper title by yourself

Love Makes Beauty

With the fantastic spur both in industry and economy，the past 100 years has seen how modernization and civilization has affected mankind. Recently，Copenhagen is being a focus for its Climate Change Conference. A majority of people hold the belief that climate change is the pressing threat for mankind.

However，acknowledging the great abundance of harms that the changing climate will bring，I‘d say the most immediate threat is just ourselves. I always imagine a view of life filled with fresh air and various flowers swung in gentle wind. But the reality shows this is a real fantasy. With the fantastically developing industry and the rising number of personal cars，not only the air but also the water is at risk universally. For example，what used to be a pride for Ruianees was Tang River，the clean and clear mother river of Ruian. But with time going by，it was seriously polluted and gradually turned into the biggest block of development. What upsets us most is that such a situation is spreading countryside. It seems that citizens on the earth care little about their land，which directly causes further consequences.

How can we deal with environmental problems?There is no doubt that this topic is complicated and unstable as well. But the irreplaceable way，in my thought，is love，love for the earth. It is love that makes beauty，and nothing else will do.

Some say love is a river that drowns the tender reed;some say love is a hunger，an endless，aching need. I say love is a flower，and you，are the only seed.

Heal the world

Nowadays，world leaders are in Copenhagen talking about climate change. Who has such a strong power to gather them from busy work?It‘s our mother——the Earth that has told her kids to start to heal the environment for the pressing threats they are facing now.

It‘s commonly thought that lots of countries are blind to the protection of environment while developing the country. And as the quality of life has developed，many families have its own car. As a result，more and more CO2 has caused the earth to be a “Green House”。If no measure is taken，a large number of kids won’t see the lovely and beautiful snow in winter before long.

To my delight，some people have been concerned about the environment. The movie >is just a good example. It took me 150 minutes to watch the movie. At the same time，I spent a long time considering the meaning which the movie wants to tell people. When the world is at an end，can anyone heal themselves?It‘s obvious that the answer is No. It’s commonly accepted that what the director wants to tell people is that we should take measures to beautify the environment at once or we‘ll die soon.

In a word，the environment pollution is a matter of life and death——a matter no country can afford to ignore. People all over the world are supposed to spare no effort to heal the world. Let‘s take action from here and now!

I will sing a song for you I carried him and sing songs for him. After a while, he was asleep. I was so tired. My parents were happy and praised me a good boy.

Please look at the new building over there. Its ourlibrary that was painted white again this year. It not only looks morebeautiful, but also has increasingly more books than before. Reading differentkinds of books can enhance our horizons and increase our knowledge. I stillremember I entered the school two years ago, the library was old enough and Ialways couldnt find my favorite comic books. Therefore, I often complained tomy classmates that the library was out of fashion that we were not able tolearn fresh knowledge in it.

What was even worse, as a member of school basketballteam, my partners and I had few chances to practice, as the playground was toosmall to play andfull of so many students after school. Luckily, I dont haveto worry about that anymore, because our playground is large enough for all ofus to play games, and basketball court is also bigger. Thats wonderful!

My school has changed a lot, for it is more beautifuland modern. I love my school.

“明——月，几——时有?把酒问——青天……不知，天上——宫阙，今夕，是何——年?”

我呆望着老齐站在窗前一副陶醉的神情。窗外天色有些昏暗，而他仿佛要唤醒月亮。只见老齐一手捧着茶杯，一手伏在窗前，满足地“读”着《水调歌头》，情到深处时，手还用力摆几下，显出一副隐忍而无奈的样子。

我忍不住打断他，同他开玩笑道：“老师，你哼的歌有点跑调啊!”谁知一向和蔼的老齐此刻严肃地说：“这可不是唱歌!这叫吟诵，吟诵的可都是汉字的本音，咋会跑调?”我似懂非懂地点点头。

这便是我与吟诵的初次相遇，这份奇妙的缘分，使我炽热的青春里有了一方明媚静谧的花地。

老齐之所以开始教我们吟诵，是因为他意识到汉字本音是不能丢的。在那节语文课上，他第一次展示了自己在吟诵上的才华：“寻寻觅觅，冷冷清清，凄凄惨惨戚戚……”他的气息断断续续，如词人在啜泣一般，婉转凄楚。在古筝如泣如诉的音律下，他继续吟诵：“乍暖还寒时候，最难将息。三杯两盏淡酒，怎敌他、晚来风急……”读到这，老齐忍不住轻轻摇头，身子稍稍蜷缩，难道他感受到了李清照内心的凄寒与孤独吗?没想到一个男子的声音，此刻却薄得像纱，经不起丝毫风吹雨打。

“雁过也，正伤心，却是旧时相识。”听到这，我仿佛看见，憔悴的女词人端一杯淡酒，在天暗云低时，孤雁的哀鸣划破天际，也再次划破她未愈的伤口。泪眼迷蒙中，蓦然发觉那只孤雁正是从前替自己传递情书的那一只。我看见女词人眉间的思恋，眼角的哀愁，旧日传情信使仍在，而今卻早已，“物是人非事事休，欲语泪先流”。

老齐戛然而止，他想把时间交给我们，可我们都还沉浸在他的书声里。老齐又给我们放了几段音乐，让我们来吟诵。

大家心里一时都没底，老齐笑着安慰道：“吟诵就藏在我们的血液里，一唤就醒。再不济，还有老师哪。”这时，一个男同学犹豫着举起手：“老师，我想吟诵《蒹葭》，就一小段!”老齐笑着点点头，可男同学底气还是不足：“蒹葭苍苍，白露为霜……”“你可以根据每句诗的意思变变语调，‘所谓伊人可以带点惊喜的感觉!”老齐提醒他。男生似乎放松多了，按照老齐说的，还带上了点曲子的音调。老齐赞许地点点头，说：“‘宛在水中央的尾韵一定要拖——很好!”男生满意地笑笑，老齐又说：“吟诵啊，一人一个腔调，只要按着你自己理解的情感来读就很好!”

听他这么说，我不禁想起他吟诵《水调歌头》时的那种落寞，难道老齐在思念着远方的亲人?看着为我们付出了如此多的他，我主动举手，说：“老师，我想吟诵《水调歌头》。”老齐愣了愣，点头同意。

我学着他的样子，挺直身姿，站在暖和的阳光底下，没有无奈的思念，就想象着苏轼与苏辙团圆的情景，按照我想传达的情感，大声吟诵出来：“人有悲欢离合，月有阴晴圆缺，此事古难全。但愿人长久，千里共婵娟!”老齐，你还有我们哪!我偷偷瞥向他，看着他盈盈的笑脸，我知道，我的心意一定传达到了。

在老齐的带领下，我们用吟诵，在人间四月天里徘徊，凡是走过的地方，都有一树一树的花开。

一首诗里，我们体会高山巍峨，流水潺潺，蝴蝶和我玩耍，鸟儿对我歌唱。一段文中，我们品出你的欢笑，他的哀愁，大千世界的林林总总。书声，果真是最美的天籁。

介绍元宵节风俗的英语作文

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.

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.

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.

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 governments will even organize a fireworks party. On the night when the first full moon enters the New Year, people become really intoxicated by the imposing fireworks and bright moon in the sky.

元宵节英文介绍译文:

元宵节

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。

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。

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。

随着时间的推移，元宵节的活动越来越多，白天有耍龙灯、耍狮子、踩高跷、划旱船扭秧歌、打太平鼓等传统民俗表演。到了夜晚，除了五颜六色的美花灯之外，还有艳丽多姿的烟火。大多数家庭会在春节时留下一些烟花等到元宵节这天燃放，而一些地方政府也会举办烟花大会，当新年的第一个月圆之夜在盛大的烟火表演中来临时，人们都陶醉在这令人难忘了烟花与皎洁的明月中。

Studying Abroad

In recent years, studying abroad has been popular.

Studying Abroad

In recent years, studying abroad has been popular. Tens of thousands of Chinese students have gone to foreign countries to study. Many people are trying their best to apply to go abroad.

There are many advantages in attending schools abroad. First, students who have studied abroad can act as mediators between people of different cultures. Second, we can learn much more advanced knowledge of science and technology from foreign countries. Third, we can learn foreign languages more quickly.

However, there are some disadvantages. Most of the students are too young to live by themselves without any living experience. Besides, being far away from their home country, they may feel lonely and homesick. Of course the costs are much.

[一篇高考的英语满分作文

observe a child; any one will do. you will see that not a day passes in which he does not find something or other to make him happy, though he may be in tears the net moment. then look at a man; any one of us will do. you will notice that weeks and months can pass in which day is greeted with nothing more than resignation1, and endure with every polite indifference. indeed, most men are as miserable as sinners, though they are too bored to sin-perhaps their sin is their indifference2. but it is true that they so seldom smile that when they do we do not recognize their face, so distorted is it from the fied mask we take for granted3. and even then a man can not smile like a child, for a child smiles with his eyes, whereas a man smiles with his lips alone. it is not a smile; but a grin; something to do with humor4, but little to do with happiness. and then, as anyone can see, there is a point (but who can define that point?) when a man becomes an old man, and then he will smile again.

it would seem that happiness is something to do with simplicity, and that it is the ability to etract pleasure form the simplest things-such as a peach stone, for instance.it is obvious that it is nothing to do with success. for sir henry stewart was certainly successful. it is twenty years ago since he came down to our village from london, and bought a couple of old cottages, which he had knocked into one. he used his house a s weekend refuge5. he was a barrister. and the village followed his brilliant career with something almost amounting to paternal pride.i remember some ten years ago when he was made a kings counsel6, amos and i, seeing him get off the london train, went to congratulate him. we grinned with pleasure; he merely looked as miserable as though hed received a penal sentence. it was the same when he was knighted; he never smiled a bit, he didnt even bother to celebrate with a round of drinks at the "blue fo"7. he took his success as a child does his medicine. and not one of his achievements brought even a ghost of a smile to his tired eyes.

i asked him one day, soon after hed retired to potter about his garden,8 what is was like to achieve all ones ambitions. he looked down at his roses and went on watering them. then he said "the only value in achieving ones ambition is that you then realize that they are not worth achieving." quickly he moved the conversation on to a more practical level, and within a moment we were back to a safe discussion on the weather. that was two years ago.

i recall this incident, for yesterday, i was passing his house, and had drawn up my cart just outside his garden wall. i had pulled in from the road for no other reason than to let a bus pass me. as i set there filling my pipe, i suddenly heard a shout of sheer joy come from the other side of the wall.i peered over. there stood sir henry doing nothing less than a tribal war dance9 of sheer unashamed ecstasy. even when he observed my bewildered face staring over the wall he did not seem put out10 or embarrassed, but shouted for me to climb over.

"come and see, jan. look! i have done it at last! i have done it at last!"there he was, holding a small bo of earth in his had. i observed three tiny shoots out of it."and there were only three!" he said, his eyes laughing to heaven."three what?" i asked."peach stones", he replied. "ive always wanted to make peach stones grow, even since i was a child, when i used to take them home after a party, or as a man after a banquet. and i used to plant them, and then forgot where i planted them. but now at last i have done it, and, whats more, i had only three stones, and there you are, one, two, three shoots," he counted.

and sir henry ran off, calling for his wife to come and see his achievement-his achievement of simplicity.

The Yellow Mountain is one of the most famous mountains in China. It lies in the south of Anhui. Every year thousands of Chinese and foreigners pay a visit there. It s not far from here. It takes you about three hours to get there by bus. You can also go there by train or by plane. While you are climbing the mountain, you can enjoy the sea of clouds, wondrous pines and unique rocks around you. In the early morning when the sun rises, the sky looks very beautiful. It s really a nice place to visit.

About three years ago I was delighted to learn that Baiyun gave birth to her daughter Sulin and I’ve been watching her grow on your website,. Now she’s going to be three. I’d like to wish her a happy birthday and to express my thanks to you for your hard work, because of which Sulin and her parents are living a happy and healthy life in the US.

By the way, could I have a photo of Sulin taken on her third birthday? Thank you very much in advance.

Yours truly,

Li Hua
