Do you mind being called a bad student? Of course not. So far as I know, everybody intends to be (become) a model student.

However, to be a model student is by no means an easy thing. First, he must do his best to obtain knowledge. A man without sufficient knowledge will not succeed. Secondly, he must remember to improve his health. Only a strong man can do great tasks. Thirdly, he should receive moral education. If his conduct is not good, no one will consider making friends with him.

然而，做模范学生却不容易。第一，他必须尽力获得知识(求知)。一个没有足够知识的人是不会成功的。第二，他必须记住促进健康。只有强壮的人才能做大事。第三，他应该接受道德教育。如果他品行不好，没有人会考虑和他交朋友的。

1. 想停下来深情地沉湎一番，怎奈行驶的船却没有铁锚;想回过头去重温旧梦，怎奈身后早已没有了归途。因为时间的钟摆一刻也不曾停顿过，所以生命便赋予我们将在汹涌的大潮之中不停地颠簸。

2. 其实人生也如四季：天真浪漫的童年是人生的春天，血气方刚的青年是人生的夏天，沉稳持重的中年是人生的秋天，蹒跚伛偻的老年是人生的冬天。但只要保持心灵的春天，生命将永远年轻。

3. 我梦想，来到塞外的大漠中，在夕阳的金黄中，感受“长河落日圆”的情怀;我梦想，坐在家乡的明月下，在满月的银辉中，体会“月是故乡明”的感慨;我梦想，置身于江南的古镇中，在绵绵的细雨里，体味“沾衣欲湿杏花雨”的情调;我梦想，徜徉在东海之滨，在阵阵海浪声中，感受“烟雨莽苍苍”的气魄。

4. 秋天，树叶黄了，枯了，快要脱落了。枯黄的叶子离开了枝头，在风中飞舞着，怀着对金秋季节无比眷恋的心情离去。假如我是落叶，我愿意很快地落在地上，又很快地被水溶化，然后钻进又黑又香的泥土里，尽情拥抱这些又大又小又粗又细的树根。

5. 在鲜花面前，不要忘了它凋零的季节;在绿草面前，不要忘了它被践踏的过去;在绿叶面前，不要忘了它飘落的即刻。人，不能陶醉于美好的现在。

6. 以一种轻松平等的方式取代毕恭毕敬的心情，在呼朋引伴的称呼声中表现彼此友好的姿态，这不能不说是“朋友”一词的魅力所在。

7. 在阳光普照的时候，你只当它烛光闪耀;在花团锦簇的时候，你只当它小草萌发;在硕果累累的时候，你只当它流星闪过。人，不能在成绩面前驻足。

8. 生活，是一本书，每一页都是一个新的故事。回首，是温习往日的甘苦，激发明日的斗志，不是为了守定一份成功，得意洋洋唱老调;也不是囿于一份失败，忧心忡忡马不前。

9. 承受是一种真诚，一种用心铸成的应允领悟;承受是一种涵养，一种处变不惊、处乱不慌的气度和坦荡;承受是一种力量，一种排泄流俗、弘扬正气的凸现和舒展。承受如一杯陈年老酒，醇香而清冽;承受像一盆羞涩的朝花，含苞待放;承受似一支乡音俚曲，粗朴而深厚;承受是一位哲学家的絮语，含蓄而隽永。

10. 失误被悔恨征服，离正确就不远了;挫折被毅力征服，离成功就迫近了;主观被客观征服，与真理就贴身了;狭窄被豁达征服，胸襟就宽阔了;狂热被冷静征服，理智便成熟了。而这一切的征服，首先源于对自己的征服。

The Low-Carbon Economic

Nowadays,with more and more serious problem such as the global increasing temperture,the melting ice and the rising sea-levering,people are recognizing the important of developing the low-carbon economic now.

There are many ways we can do to reach the loe-carbon economic.Fristly,discovering others fuels which is more clean and more green to instead of the using of carbon.Secondly, we should have the save-energy conscious and do something which we can make,for instance,using the bus ranther than car when you go out,re-use the thing that can be recycle used,reducing the use of plastic bags.Last but not least,we should plant more trees or other greenplants,in which way we can not only improve the environment,but also can make our home more beauty.

In my opnion, the most important thing to reach the low-carbon economic is everyone must try their best do what they can do for it.Once everyone have the sence of low-carbon economic and have the action by themselves ,it will be earlier to reach it.

今天是父亲节，想到爸爸平时那么辛苦，我决定送一个礼物给爸爸，不过我不知道送什么好，突然，我想到妈妈和爸爸那么好，一定有什么好的建议。

于是，我去找母亲商量怎么让父亲高兴。可是，我和母亲两个人商量了好一会儿都没有想出办法来。后来，还是我灵机一动才想出了一个好办法。我立刻对母亲说：“父亲的胡子很多，而且经常会长出来。而且他比较忙，所以，我想买一把剃须刀给爸爸。让他一有空就可以剃去胡须。妈妈，你说好吗？”“好呀，孩子你想到真好！”我听了别提有多高兴了。

于是，我和妈妈一起来到了一家专卖店。那家商店东西真多呀！可是，我想到自己是来买剃须刀的。于是，我直奔陈列剃须刀的柜台。我挑选了一会儿，看到一把银白色的剃须刀既好看又实用，而且价钱也不贵。于是，我掏出自己带来的平时省吃俭用积累起来的钱，给了老板，拿了那把银白色的剃须刀就和妈妈一起走了。走出商店，妈妈对我说：“送你父亲一样东西不太好吧，再去买一样，好吗？”“好呀，只是我带的钱不多了。”“那没有关系，我这儿有钱。”于是，我就和妈妈一起去了蓝房子——一家专卖贺卡和礼物的商店。进了商店，我立刻开始挑选。我选好了一张可爱的小贺卡。妈妈看了以后说我的眼光真不错。

回到家里，我马上在贺卡上写上我对父亲的祝福语言。然后，我把它和剃须刀放在一起，耐心地等待着。

父亲下班回家来了，我立刻迎上去把礼物和贺卡递给父亲。父亲看到这一份特别珍贵的礼物，迫不及待地看了起来。等到看清礼物以后，他的嘴巴都张开成了“O”型。

然后爸爸非常开心的把我抱起来了，妈妈在旁边看到我们这样，也非常的开心。晚上，妈妈还做了很丰盛的晚餐，我们全家在父亲节过得非常的开心。这真是一个难忘的父亲节。
