Happy Father’s Day to you!

Hello,everyone here.Now,please let me introduce myself to you.I am the only girl in my family. For my own hobbies, I love traveling，listening to music and reading.From these hobbis, you can see,I would like to live a free life.Of course, everyone has some strong points.without myself exception,for instance,both of playing the piano and drawing are my strong points.At present,I am satified with my life. The activities in school are great.My teachers and classmates are friendly to me.For my parents,both of them are managers.They are always busy working.As for my ideas of going abroad to study, I think it is useful and wonderful if we have the chance to do so.I also would like to go abroad to study to improve myself.Thats all.Thank you.

My name is Zheng, 9 years old this year, is a small girl, almost 1.4 meters tall, is a medium height, some yellow skin, is a native of Chinese. I was fat, on the big, round face, with two big eyes like grapes, the nose collapsed, and the mouth was small.

My personality is: considerate caring, generous, gentle personality perfectionism, rich imagination, sometimes very lively, with strong tolerance, sensitive love fantasy, not too confident, but dont be sentimental, reject, thought of two minds, very complex. But these are the students comments on me. I think my biggest problem is the love of two minds, take the last math exam for example: I had the score 100 points, because I be negligent, so a path of two minds, wrong, I will deduct 1 points, only 99 points, but I was careless, I think: anyway, I not like the 2 grade exam Eighty-nine points, on the line, I also got 10 points!

This is me. Do you think Im cute?

我叫郑好，今年9岁了，是个小女孩，身高差不多1.4米，是个中等个子，皮肤有些黄，是个地道的中国人。我胖胖的，在那又大又圆的脸上，镶着两颗葡萄似的大眼睛，鼻子是塌塌的，嘴巴小小的。

我的性格特征是:善解人意有同情心，很慷慨，完美主义，想象力丰富，个性温和也有时会很活泼，具超强的包容力，敏感爱幻想，不太有自信，不多愁但善感，三心二意，不善拒绝，思想很复杂。但这些都是同学们对我的评价。我觉得我最大的毛病就是爱三心二意，就拿上次数学考试来说吧:本来我该得满分100分的，就是因为我粗心大意，三心二意，错了那么一小道题，就扣了我1分，只得了99分，可我还是满不在乎的，我想:反正我没像2年级考试时得89分，就行了，我还进步了10分呢!

这就是我了，大家觉得我可爱吗?

篇一：Work and Happiness

Happiness is dependent upon work. Sometimes we complain that we have too much work, but we fail to realize that it’s our work that keep us moving on and helps us to become a better man. Last summer I visited my friends in a small village. It was obvious that working has become an indispensable part of their daily lives. They all went to the field to plant the crops. The sun was shinning above them and they looked quite happiness about their work. On their face there were such smiles as I had never seen before.

Work provide us with happiness. Work is more than a necessity for human beings. If we have no work to do, we will waste our precious time. That’s pity. We will lose everything in the end. Work helps us to realize the importance of life, then we will appreciate it more. Everybody who live in this society could not live without working. If we spend every day idly, we will find life is boring.

幸福建立在工作之上。有时候我们抱怨我们有太多的工作要做，却忽略了工作可以让人不断进步，从而成为一个更好的人。上个暑假我去一个小村庄拜访了我的朋友。显而易见，工作已经成为了他们不可缺的一部分。他们全都到地里面种庄稼。太阳当空照，他们看起来对自己的工作非常是满意。对人类来说，工作不仅仅是种必需品。如果我们没有工作，那么，时间就会白白浪费掉。真真是可惜。最后，我们会失去所有的东西。工作帮助人们意识到生活的重要性，让我们更加珍惜。每个生活在社会中的人都必须工作，免得就不能生存下去。如果每天都无所事事，那么，我们会发现生活非常无趣。

篇二：football 足球

Football is the most popular ball in the world. More and more people like watching football matches. They can’t sleep or eat when their teams are playing.They shout for their players. I think many Chinese football player have done better match after match since the Professional Football league of China was set up. But we still have a long way to go to Asia and to the world. We should learn from foreign teams. Foreign players and coaches must be invited. Dalian Wanda, Shanghai Shenhua and Guangd0ng Apollo are among the best.

足球是世界上最流行的球类运动。现在越来越多韵人喜欢看足球比赛，当他们的球队参加比赛的时候，他们可以废寝忘食地为他们的队员加油。我认为自从中国足协建立以来，许多中国足球的比赛踢得一场比一场好了。但是我们的足球要冲出亚洲、奔向世界还有非常长的路要走。我们应该向国外的球队学习，邀请一些外国的运动员和教练到我们中间来。大连万达、上海申花、广东太阳神都是最出色的球队。

篇三：True Beauty

Everyone is attracted by beauty and beauty is powerful. But what is true beauty? Perhaps you can get the answer from the following story.

This morning I went to the market to buy some vegetables with my parents. On the way we all highly praised a young man in western-style clothes and leather shoes who was riding by. But he rode so fast that he knocked an old lady down carelessly.Instead of stopping, he pretended not to see this and rode away quickly. We were all very angry with the young man. To our happiness, a girl in plain dress ran forward at once, helped the lady up and took her home. We all praised the girl.

From this we know we cannot judge a person by his appearance. A person who is dressed beautifully may not have a beautiful soul. Only a person who has a beautiful soul is really beautiful

每个人都会被美所吸引,荚有强大的力量。但什么是真正的美呢?或许你可以从下面的故事得到答案。

今天早上我去市场买些蔬菜和我的父母。在路上我们都高度赞扬一个年轻人他骑在西式的衣服和皮鞋。但是他骑得太快了,不小心把一位老太太撞倒。他没有阻止,而是假装没有看到飞快地骑走了。我们都非常生气的年轻人。我们的幸福,一个女孩穿着朴素立刻跑过来,帮助这位女士,带她回家。我们都赞扬了女孩。

从这我们知道我们不能通过外表来判断一个人。一个人可以没有美丽的心灵是打扮得漂漂亮亮。”只有一个人有一个美丽的灵魂真漂亮

From a middle class family, I was born in Hsin Ying, Tainan on October 10th, 1965. My father is a civil official at Tainan City Government. My mother is a house wife good at cooking.

“Being good is must; successful, however, is plus.” Father adopts the idea of his father. Especially in military service, I realized it more precisely. People said: Military service makes a boy to man, I agree that.

I realized the importance of English and began to study diligently when I was eighteen. I did not start in my early age, but I hope that I could pass the test of General English Proficiency Test. And this is my best wish at the moment.

I have a big family. There are five people in my family, my grandmother, my parents and my elderly brother. My grandmother is easygoing. She has many friends near my home. Every morning and night, she walks around with her friends. My parents are doctors in the same hospital. They are always busy with their work. My brother is three years older than me. He is a middle school student. My family is happy. Although my parents are busy, they care much about me. We live a good life.

我有一个大家庭，总共有五口人，奶奶，爸爸妈妈，哥哥和我。我的奶奶很随和，邻里有很多朋友。每天早晚她都和她的朋友去散步。我的父母在同一家医院当医生，他们总是忙于工作。我的哥哥比我大三岁，是个初中生。我的家庭很幸福。尽管我的父母很忙，但是他们很关心我。我们的生活很美好。

一年一度的元旦联欢会终于迎来了!清早，我迈着欢快的步伐，闻着花草的清香走进了学校。

到了班里门上挂了一个“春”，好是喜庆!窗边的护栏上挂上了五彩缤纷的彩带，吊灯上也挂上了彩带，窗户上也挂满了气球给枯燥乏味的教室带来了不少的色彩，哇!多么好看的黑板啊!上面写了十分醒目的“元旦联欢”四个大字，还有许多装饰，同学们也欢声笑语。

人都到齐了，老师也来了，起初全班很安静，直到主持人们宣布：“元旦联欢会正式开始!”全班一瞬间响起了雷鸣般的掌声和欢呼声。节目开始了，有唱歌的、讲笑话的、玩魔方的……在小雨唱歌时，优美的声音使混乱的班级顿时安静下来，欣赏着、倾听着。而小常同学的魔术把表演推向了高潮。起初全班安静，小常同学把魔术袋抬高了许多，说：“看!里面什么都没吧?”他一边说一边把袋子倒过来。我们大家一起喊道：“没有!”小常突然洒出了一大把糖，他一直洒，那些被抛上空中的糖，就像“糖雨”一样的往下落，大家站起来一边减一边尖叫，大家吃着糖甜滋滋的，这还不是重头戏。扔完糖，下面就是扔零食了!小常同学向空中抛出了好多小零食，大家又抢到了，脸上露出了笑容。到了这个节目，最后大家都把自己的零食抛向空中，都有了不少收获，而我也把自己喜欢的零食抛上了空中收获了很多。

可是欢乐很快的就过去了，欢呼声顿时没有了，要是元旦联欢会每天都有该有多好啊!

I am pleased to serve as your guide today.

This is the palace museum; also know as the Purple Forbidden City. It is the largest and most well reserved imperial residence in China today. Under Ming Emperor Yongle, construction began in 1406. It took 14years to build the Forbidden City. The first ruler who actually lived here was Ming Emperor Zhudi. For five centuries thereafter, it continued to be the residence of23 successive emperors until 1911 when Qing Emperor Puyi was forced to abdicate the throne .In 1987, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization recognized the Forbidden City was a world cultural legacy.

It is believed that the Palace Museum, or Zi Jin Cheng (Purple Forbidden City), got its name from astronomy folklore, The ancient astronomers divided the constellations into groups and centered them around the Ziwei Yuan(North Star). The constellation containing the North Star was called the Constellation of Heavenly God and star itself was called the purple palace. Because the emperor was supposedly the son of the heavenly gods, his central and dominant position would be further highlighted the use of the word purple in the name of his residence. In folklore, the term ”an eastern purple cloud is drifting” became a metaphor for auspicious events after a purple cloud was seen drifting eastward immediately before the arrival of an ancient philosopher, LaoZi, to the Hanghu Pass. Here, purple is associated with auspicious developments. The word jin (forbidden) is self-explanatory as the imperial palace was heavily guarded and off-explanatory as the imperial palace was heavily guarded and off-limits to ordinary people.

The red and yellow used on the palace walls and roofs are also symbolic. Red represents happiness, good fortune and wealth. Yellow is the color of the earth on the Loess Plateau, the original home of the Chinese people. Yellow became an imperial color during the Tang dynasty, when only members of the royal family were allowed to wear it and use it in their architecture.

The Forbidden City is rectangular in shape. It is 960 meters long from north to south and 750 meter wide from east west. It has 9,900 rooms under a total roof area 150,000 square meters .A 52-meter-wide-moat encircles a 9.9-meter—high wall which encloses the complex. Octagon —shaped turrets rest on the four corners of the wall. There are four entrances into the city: the Meridian Gate to the south, the Shenwu Gate(Gate of Military Prowess) to the north, and the Xihua Gate(Gate of military Prowess) to the north, and the Xihua Gate(Western Flowery Gate )to the west ,the Donghua (Eastern Flowery Gate) to the east.

Manpower and materials throughout the country were used to build the Forbidden City. A total of 230,000 artisans and one million laborers were employed. Marble was quarried from fangshan Country Mount Pan in Jixian County in Hebei Province. Granite was quarried in Quyang County in Hebei Province. Paving blocks were fired in kilns in Suzhou in southern China. Bricks and scarlet pigmentation used on the palatial walls came from linqing in Shandong Province .Timber was cut ,processed and hauled from the northwestern and southern regions.

The structure in front of us is the Meridian Gate. It is the main entrance to the forbidden City. It is also knows as Wufenglou(Five-Phoenix Tower). Ming emperors held lavish banquets here on the 15th day of the first month of the Chinese lunar year in hornor of their counties .They also used this place for punishing officals by flogging them with sticks.

Qing emperors used this building to announce the beginning of the new year. Qing Emperor Qianglong changed the original name of this announcement ceremony from ban li(announcement of calendar)to ban shou(announcement of new moon )to avoid coincidental association with another Emperor` s name, Hongli, which was considered a taboo at that time. Qing Dynasty emperors also used this place to hold audience and for other important ceremonies. For example,when the imperial army returned victoriously from the battlefield ,it was here that the Emperor presided over the ceremony to accept prisoners of war.

(After entering the Meridian Gate and standing in front of the Five Marble Bridges on Golden Water River)

Now we are inside the Forbidden City.Before we start our tour, I would like to briefly introduce you to the architectural patterns befour us .To complete this solemn, magnificent and palatial complex, a variety of buildings were arranged on a north-south axis, and 8-kilometer-long invisible line that has become an inseparable part of the City of Beijing. The Forbidden City covers roughly one –third of this central axis. Most of the important building in the Forbidden City weree arranged along this line. The design and arrangement of the palaces reflect the solemn dignity of the royal court and rigidly –stratified feudal system.

The Forbidden City is divided into an outer and an inner count.We are now standing on the southernmost part of the outer count. In front of us lies the Gate of supreme Harmony .The gate is guarded by a pair of bronze lions ,symbolizing imperial power and dignity. The lions were the most exquisite and biggest of its kind. The one on the east playing with a ball is a male, and ball is said to represent state unity. The other one is a female. Underneath one of its fore claws is a cub that is considered to be a symbol of perpetual imperial succession. The winding brook before us is the Golden Water River. It functions both as decoration and fire control .The five bridges spanning the river represent the five virtues preached by Confucius :benevolence, righteousness, rites, intellence and fidelity. The river takes the shape of a bow and the north-south axis is its arrow. This was meant to show that the Emperors ruled the country on behalf of God.
