when we think of halloween, we think of "trick or treat", pumpkins, jack o lanterns, vampires and haunted houses.

but do you know the origin of halloween? why does it fall on 31 october? what kind of festival is it? why is it so creepy?

halloween dates back to a celtic festival called samhain. november 1 is the new year of the celts, who lived in europe more than a thousand years ago. this is the day which marked the end of summer and harvest.

the celts believed that on the night of october 31, ghosts of the dead would return to earth. the celts celebrated samhain by dressing up in costumes with animal heads and having bonfires.

many celts settled in britain and ireland, where the festival became popular. those who moved to america took the tradition with them.

nowadays, most people celebrate halloween but only for fun. they are not worried about ghosts.

kids in america will dress up as devils or angels and will go from house to house calling "trick or treat", playing mischievous tricks and getting sweets.

americans spend more money on halloween than christmas! in xx, more than hk$45 billion was spent on halloween. and hk$15 billion of that was spent on candy alone!!!

kids in britain also dress up at halloween. they visit houses, sing songs or tell a joke to get sweets. many go to halloween parties and play games like "ducking for apples". you must pick up an apple in water but you can only use your mouth. try it!

The Mid-Autumn Festival has all interesting history. Long ago in one of the

dynasties of China there was a king who was very cruel to the people and did not

manage the country well. The people were so angry that some brave ones suggested

killing the king. So they wrote notes telling about the meeting place and time

and put them into cakes.

On the 15th day of the 8th lunar month every person was told to buy the

cakes. When they ate them they discovered the notes. So they gathered together

to make a sudden attack on the king. From then on the Chinese people celebrate

on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month and eat moon cakes in memory of that

important event.

When the Mid-Autumn Festival is near, shop windows are beautifully

decorated. Many moon cakes are displayed for people to buy. People send presents

such aswine, fruits and moon cakes to their friends and relatives. In the

evening of the day, they have a feast. After the feast, they go out to the

garden to look at the moon. The children run and laugh on the streets.

It is believed that the moon is at her brightest on this night. Many poems

have been written about it, and poets are never tired of reading and writing

such poems. In Chinese literature, the moon of the Mid Autumn Festival has been

compared to a looking-glass, a jade rabbit, and so on. It seems that Chinese

literature takes far more interest in the moon than in the sun.

People will be the envy of the sky eagle, but never thought it a thousand

times to practice hard; people were envious of butterfly flowers, but do not

have to pay attention to it once as a caterpillar suffering; people are jealous

of those celebrities, those scientists, those successful people, but never

thought they have too much to pay behind the hardships and sweat, experienced

many setbacks.

So, in the face of the unexpected blow, who seem insurmountable

difficulties, the vast expanse of the thorns, I will not retreat. Because I

know, success is built on the basis of failure and sharpening.

After I go to school, teachers always tell me to study hard, so that I can

Panda is our country’s treasure, we should protect it. nowadays, we see

from the TV that panda is less than before, it is not only because of the damage

of the environment, but also the weakness of the panda. Everybody loves panda,

it is so lovely, a panda has two black eyes, it is very lazy, it likes sleeping

all the time. When we see its round body shape, we can’t help loving them. In

order to see the lovely animal, we need to protect them. We must protect the

environment, like not to throw the rubbish away, not to cut down the trees. We

condemn such behavior that killing the animals. Protecting the animals is

everybody’s job.

Today I am very happy, because today is not only "38" womens day, but also my mothers birthday.

Early in the morning I thought, what to do for my mother? I thought to myself, I didnt think of a way, so I went to ask dad. Dad said, "you can make her a card or do something for her." So I decided to make her a card. I took out a small piece of cardboard and wrote, "happy holidays and good health." Well, I put the CARDS in my room.

I went out to help my mother mop the floor, my mother said in surprise: "you dont even touch the housework, how do you have to mop the floor today?" Ill just mop the floor and not answer mom. At noon, I put the CARDS in my mothers room, and my mother said to me, "what are you doing in the room?" I smiled at my mother and said, "its a secret."

At night, I said to my mother, "happy birthday to you, and I wish you a happy holiday." Mother said: "today is my birthday I remember, today is what holiday?" I opened my eyes to my mother and said, "today is march eighth international womens day! Dont you remember? "I thought you knew it was for you," I said to my mother. My mother took the card and looked at it, moved to tears.

No matter the day is how to spend endless， the sun always rises and falls，

flowers always bloom and wither， around heavy traffic is always fleeting， stand

at the time of the tail， we kept after the mist as ignorant of the future.

Too many people always sigh the cruelty of time and the helpless of growing

up。 In fact， growth is really a caterpillar into a butterfly process， always

undergo a metamorphosis of pain， you can better meet the chocolate as unknown

world。 All that let go or no one saw tears in a few years back， you can get

unexpected! The road of the future， whether rugged or smooth， requires you to go

and taste it alone.

Eileen Chang wrote an article about "road"， referring to the way of growth。

This road is a road that everyone must take。 Those who pass by advise the people

who are going this way not to choose the road， because it is so rough and long

that it is refuted： "since you can walk this way， how can I not go out?"。" Thus，

one after another people go through this road full of hardships， perhaps this is

the true meaning of growth。 Knowing that he might fall into it， he obstinately

persisted in his choice.

I think that the child will never grow up Peter Pam， who said he had no

regrets can not grow， we are always sad to miss the past endlessly all say

"dont grow up， never grow up， if you really can not grow up， you really dont

care? Every time there is a time of happiness。 In any case， we will grow up as

time goes by from the palm of the palm.

Growing up is like a mysterious fruit。 Some people resist it hysterically，

and some people cant wait to taste it。 But only when we grow up can we get more

and better world.

My sister was fond of traveling. Ever since graduating, she had been

determined to organize a trip to an old temple. Since transporting fare was

expensive, she decided to use a bicycle to cycle there not caring about the

disadvantages. Her stubborn attitude was always her shortcoming. Once she made

up her mind to do something, no one could persuade her to change her mind.

Finally, we gave in as usual though we preferred to take a train. After we

prepared everything, including the schedule, reliable weather forecast and the

insurance, we began our trip.

Our journey was along a river flowing from a high altitude. Our pace was

slow because the river frequently had many sharp bends through deep valleys,

where the water seemed to boil. Just as I recorded in my journal, it was really

a hard journey. But we also enjoyed great views. One night, I put my head on my

pillow--a parcel of wool coats, and lay beneath the stars. When the flame in

front of our cave went out at midnight, I found the sky so beautiful!

For the first time in everyones experience! For example: the first time to

ride a bicycle, write a book, play a computer for the first time, keep a dog for

the first time, etc! And my first time is climbing!

On a sunny holiday, our family unanimously decided to take exercise -

climbing Maanshan! Maanshan ecological park is located in the south of Yangwu

village, Daling mountain. The main peak is 329.2 meters above sea level. It is

divided into two small peaks at the front and back. It is named Maanshan because

of its shape similar to Maanshan. It used to be a quarry. All the stones mined

were transported to all parts of the city as building materials, bringing

considerable economic benefits to the local area and seriously damaging the

ecological environment. In order to build a civilized, harmonious and ecological

home, the village committee decided to close the quarry and invest 5 million

yuan to build it into an ecological park. Now there are Jinling, Qixingling,

Jiti stone, Qilin mountain and other scenic spots. When I came to the foot of

Maanshan, I stared at the top of Maanshan stupidly. In my mind, I thought of the

complacent expression of climbing to the mountain. After that, I cant wait to

follow the route to the top of the mountain!

At first, I was a living tiger, just like a hungry tiger, flying to the top

of the mountain! The road is getting steeper and steeper, and the fork road runs

across. Its half the way to the top of the mountain. After a long time, the

physical strength is naturally consumed and the knowledge is not much. Im

sweating!! Seeing thousands of houses, cars and pedestrians under my feet, I

secretly encouraged myself: there is still a little way to go, stick to it, and

soon climb to the top of the mountain, dont be discouraged, learn to stick to it

on this road! Only persistence can make people succeed! Time flows silently on

me. I climb to the top of the mountain. I am ecstatic and rush forward in one

breath. Finally climbed to the top of the mountain! Ah! The scenery at the top

of the mountain is so intoxicating and impressive!

As if everything under my feet is my world! The whole village can be seen

clearly. I learned a truth from it, that is: in life, whether it is laid-off, or

encountered difficulties, or be fired and so on. Dont be discouraged. As a human

being, we should learn not to be discouraged in the face of difficulties. In all

kinds of tests of life, just like climbing a mountain, we cant give up halfway,

as long as we stick to it, we will succeed!

To be or nor to be, that is a question. To succeed or to fail? How to

succeed and how to achieve? These problems confuse many teenagers in

nowadays.

We all have dreams, and we all work hard to realize them. But there will

always be some problems and setbacks to stop the pace of advance. When they

appear, what should we do? To stop or to go on? Mrs. Curie told us the answer.

We all know that Mrs. Curie discovered radium, but how many people really know

how hard she worked? At that time, there were many people disapprove of Mrs.

Curie. Although she got over hundreds of difficulties, she still believed in

herself and never gave up. Finally, she succeeded to discover radium. She proved

that she was right by her continuous hard work and her strong spirit. We should

learn from Mrs. Curie. She told us the truth through her own experiences that

believe in yourself, you can do it! Never give up, face the difficulties with a

smile, someday, you will be proud of yourself.

The key to success is confidence. It makes you brave, helps you get over

the troubles, and brings motivation to you. For example, somebody always get

nervous when they have an important speech, if they are in a nervous mood, the

results are always terrible. But if they are confident to themselves, the

results turn out to be better. Therefore, be confident, believe in yourself,

keep smile in your face when comes to difficulties, and you will achieve

more.

People around the world may feel that the climate has been getting steadily

warmer and warmer in recent years. Places which used to be abundant in snowfall

have frequently experienced snowfree(无雪的) winters. Drought lasts longer in some

dry areas. People find that without air conditioners they could hardly work or

fall asleep on hotter summer days.

The side effects of global warming are alarminS. A warmer global climate

melts the ice caps, raising sea levels. What is more, it disturbs weather

patterns, causing droughts, severe storms, hurricanes (飓风). People suffer a lot

from disasters relevant to global warming.

To stop global warming we should make immediate and continual efforts. We

hope the situation will soon change. Global warming catches and holds our

concern, for it affects us and will affect our later generations. We cannot wait

any longer. Do it. Do it right. Do it right now.

Dear mom and dad, How time flies! And it has been really seven years since

I entered the middle school, during which time I spent the unforgettable time

with my friends; what’s more, the most precious ages with my family. Instead of

calling you regularly, I thought I’d write a letter to tell you exactly what I

want to say. To be good parents is by no means an easy job as I imagined before.

It includes patience, responsibility and affection. Through these years, I here

really gained a lot from your experience. I still remember when I failed in

maths and even wanted to give it up, you just patted me on the shoulder and

encouraged me to have another try. Later, you praised me for my progress and

earnest effort, which really gave me a sense of achievement. Looking younger

children, I suddenly saw myself in teenage years. I was so rebellious and

inconsiderate at that time. You must have gone to a lot of troubles for me. I am

really sorry for the time I made you irritated. Mom and dad, thank you for being

firm with me when I went through my rebellious stage. I do appreciate what you

have done for me. I love you forever.

Yours loving boy,

Zhu Bajie

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen! Its my honor to tell you about the

changes of mySchool.

When you walk around our school, you can see various flowers and trees

everywhere. At the same time, you can smell the taste, breathe fresh air. Its a

nice place for us to study.

Please look at the new building over there. Its our library that was

painted white again this year. It not only looks more beautiful, but also has

increasingly more books than before. Reading different kinds of books can

enhance our horizons and increase our knowledge. I still remember I entered the

school two years ago, the library was old enough and I always couldnt find my

favorite comic books. Therefore, I often complained to my classmates that the

library was out of fashion that we were not able to learn fresh knowledge in

it.

What was even worse, as a member of school basketball team, my partners and

I had few chances to practice, as the playground was too small to play and full

of so many students after school. Luckily, I dont have to worry about that

anymore, because our playground is large enough for all of us to play games, and

basketball court is also bigger. Thats wonderful!

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

school.

The giant panda is a national treasure in our country, they are very cute.

Recently, I came to the hometown of giant pandas, chengdu panda base to

visit.

Entered the panda base, I saw the "fog" from the side of the hearth, and

likely to increase humidity. Then, I found the bamboo on both sides of the tilt

to the middle, formed a huge "arch bridge", for tourists to enjoy. Then, we came

to the giant panda museum. We first watched on giant panda breeding and so on

video, then, I started to play the game here: imitation of giant pandas, find

the bride for the panda, and so on.

Then, we came to the giant panda "villa" : every panda about 15 square

meters of the "indoor residential" and several "outdoor garden" the size of the

sitting room. They sometimes along the garden wooden posts climbed several

meters high rack, the crawling around on it. In indoor, they often walk around

the glass window, as if to show people it lovely side. Then he will be picked up

in the middle of the bamboo, taste with relish.

We will go forward, then came to the young giant panda base. You dont call

them "panda". Because the red panda is another panda. Head I thought I would see

a big, white and black giant pandas, youth didnt see the size of a mouse pink

"pig". Afterwards just know, the giant panda cub is these furry little one. I

came to another room, suddenly found the young pandas here head is much bigger

than before, and also has become a black and white. It is hard to imagine but

larger than the "pig", less than a month of young giant pandas.

Finally, we arrived at the panda. But they are many only live together. The

panda brown and white, very lovely. The panda and the giant panda is not the

same, however, gave birth to have had the bright colors.

Chengdu panda base is the panda "shelter", care and concern every

panda.

When autumn comes, I feel so excited, because the sports meeting comes. I

like sports so much. When I was very small, my father took me to watch the

basketball match, in the long time, sports have become part of my life. When I

started to come to school, I join the basketball team, I had the great time to

practice with my friends. Though high school life is very busy and I have to

learn so many subjects, I still keep taking exercise everyday. Sports meeting

time is my favorite time in the semester. I can take part in many activities,

such as basketball and high jump. I am full of energy, I just want to enjoy the

moment of taking exercise. Sports meeting indeed brings students many energy and

make the students become active. They can also exercise their bodies.

Today, people count on the high-tech products so much, we can see no matter

where we are, we could find people low down their hands, playing their

cellphones. About two years ago, it is very popular that people shopping online,

now as the function of cellphone has been highly developed, people can use their

cellphone to shop online. As shopping online is so convenient, more and more

people like to buy things online, especially the men, because they don’t like to

go out, now the Internet can help them shop in a quick way. The things online

are various, people can search what they want and compare with the price, they

can buy the products they want. Shopping online is the new way for people to

purchase, in the future, it will be more and more popular. The Internet provides

people’s life.

My Mother is a kind of gentle woman. She is always very gentle. She takes

good care of her children and keeps them all at school. I have one brother and

two sistets. So she gets four children in all. She gives us every comfort. We

all love her and she loves us also.

My mother has too much to do in bringing us up. As our family is too poor

to keep a servant, my mother has always to do very much work. She gets up very

early and sleeps very late every day. She works hard, yet without

complaining.

She is also a thrifty, and industrious woman. She saves every cent that she

can and keeps everything in order. As she has been busy eversince she was young,

she looks older than she really is. Her face is wrinkled, her hair becomes

silver white, but she works as hard as ever.

Often she says to us, "work while you work, play while you play. If you do

not work, you will become lazy and of no use to society." What piece of good

advice this is! We must worth it well and always keep it in our mind.

China, as a developing country, has a large gap compared with developed

countries. If we want to catch up with and even surpass the developed ones,

education seems important and should be given the first priority. Besides,

education seems the same important to individuals.

In modern time, when science and technology are making great progress, the

education of the work force is the most important. Moreover, many of the success

in advanced countries have demonstrated that a nations prosperity mainly

depends on the quality of its labor force, namely those who have been well

educated.

For individuals, education is the best way to improve oneself. Firstly,

its education thathelps people gain basic knowledge of the world, helping them

to distinguish what is right and wrong. Secondly, education improves ones

skills of life and work, which can make people live a good life or have

achievements in career. Finally, education brings people ability of learning and

that is the key role of education.
