With the general standard of living improvingand the working week becoming shorter，more andmore people are able to make a holiday trip toplaces of interest. While many like to joinpackage tours fro convenience，I prefer to traveln my own.

I like travelling on may own not only because it costs much less but because it gives a great degree of independence and freedom. Travelling on my own，I’m my own boss;and can decide when to start on my way，where to linger a little longer and which spot can be skipped over to save energy or time for another spot. I can always adjust my plan. On the contrary，in a package tour you’re deprived of as much freedom as in a military base. At the sound of the whistle，you have to jump up from a sound sleep and，with heavy-lidded eyes，hurry to the gathering place where you are collected and counted to board a coach. At the sight of the little flag waving，you must immediately take yourself away from the scenes you are marveling at and follow the guide whose sole interest is to cover all spots according to him strict schedule，regardless of the weather or your health condition.

True，you may encounter inconveniences if you travel individually，for instance，getting accommodations for the night and finding a place for meals. But nothing can be compared with the freedom which is vital to a person who takes a holiday trip mainly to escape from constraints of his routine life.

My Favourite detective

In the world of detective novels, Sherlock Holmes is undoubtedly the most

famous one. But for me, the greatest detective in novels is Hercule Poirot, a

little Belgian who always uses his little grey cells to find the truth.

I really appreciate him for various reasons, such as his having an insight

into other peoples psychology, his understanding on hunman nature and his being

merciful. But most improtant thing is that he looks more like a real human

being, compared with Holmes or other legend detectives. He has such a funny

appearance, an egg-shaped head and exaggerated moustache . He enjoys delicious

cuisine and focuses on his own dressing. He is always humor and likes to mock

himself. he prefers to stay with young peole for being attracted by their vigor

and energy. And there are still so many lovely features of him I can list.

Anyway, I like him and appreciate him. I always get touched by the

philosophy of life in his storys. Hercule Poirot is indeed my favourite

detective.

When we have something annoy us, we will naturally to find someone to talk

about it, the first choice is friend. We will not talk about it in front of our

parents, because we don’t want them to worry about us. Friend is so important in

our life, we have many friends, we will share our happiness and sorrow with

them, we hang out together, in a word, friends are part of our life. What will

happened if someone have no friend? We hear from the news that the crime people

are isolated by others, most of them have no friends, their view point about the

world is distorted. Without friends, people have no where to relieve their

emotion, the long time’s depression of the emotion distract people from the

normal life. So friends are very important, we can’t live without friends.

Today, more and more young people are crazy about western festivals. When western festivals come, they usually go to restaurants or shopping malls to have fun.

如今，越来越多的年轻人都对西方的节日着迷。当西方节日到来的时候，他们常常去餐厅或是商场娱乐。

Why do the young enjoy western festivals so much? Since they worship everything new, and they can’t resist the temptation. In their opinions, western festivals symbolize the fashion, while our Chinese traditional festivals are out of date. No wonder we always feel so boring during our traditional holidays. If we still turn a blind eye to our traditional festivals, our culture and civilization will disappear someday. Accordingly, it is high time for us to pay close attention to our Chinese festivals.

为什么年轻人这么喜爱西方节日呢?大抵是因为他们喜爱新鲜事物，抗拒不了诱惑。在他们看来，西方节日代表着时尚，而中国传统节日则太土了。这也难怪我们也觉得我们的传统节日太过无聊了。如果我们对传统节日漠然置之，那么某天我们的文化文明终会消失。因此，我们该多多关注我们中国自己的节日了。

As a Chinese, we have the obligation to protect our culture and custom. So I think we should celebrate our Chinese festivals by doing some traditional activities. As for western festivals, we needn’t to be too excited about them. We can just send our best wishes to our best friends during those festivals.

作为一名中国人，我们有责任保护自己的文化习俗。所以我认为应当在庆祝中国传统节日时候举办一些传统活动。而对于西方节日，我们不需要太过激动。在这些节日里我们应该只需简单的送上祝福就好。

When it comes to haze, I believe many people hate it to the bone and sigh

when talking about it. No, just a few sunny days, Monday morning gave us a big

"surprise".

In the morning, as soon as I stepped out of the door, I was stunned by the

scene in front of me: the sky seemed to be covered by a gray cloth, and the

pedestrians, roadside plants and cars on the road were also dyed gray.

Everything is covered with a layer of ash. Walking on the street, the visibility

is less than 100 meters. Under the influence of haze, the original clear scene

becomes extremely blurred. Even the bright colors of the traffic lights seem to

be in a trance.

At school, the situation has not changed, and low temperature is of no use.

The red flag is flying in the middle of the air. The soft and beautiful

movements are slightly slow due to the influence of the dust around. Because in

haze days, many small particles will be inhaled, and the oxygen content in the

air will be reduced, which is not suitable for sports, so the physical education

class in the morning has also been cancelled. I dont know if I should be happy

or worried.

Haze days, its really annoying!

our country has a large area of forest. however,not until recently did the goverment begin to realize the importance of protecting the forest. as we may know from various sources,the government recently adopted a policy called "restore the farmland to the forest"。this has brought much hope to the forest of our country as well as the sustainable development of our country.

Nowadays there are still many behaviors against public morality, such as

spiting or littering in public places, cutting in line, wasting water or

electricity and so on.

One of the main reasons for these immoral behaviors is that some people

lack personal manners and public consciousness. Actually these small things in

many peoples eyes have brought great bad effects on our community. Above all,

these immoral behaviors disturb social order and disrupt socialsbility.

Moreover, ones violating public morality not only evades others benefits but

also does harm to himself. For example, if most people buy pirated products,

those original producers will suffer great damage and might lose the enthusiasm

to continue their producing. Which in turn, influences consumers taking the

profits into consideration, I think it is high time that we would take more

effective measures to improve public morals.

First of all, education plays a very vital role. We must utilize education

to make people know their behaviors influence on the society and follow public

morals consciously. Besides the government should improve the administration

system and ensure the efficient improvement of administration measures.

Today is my birthday and Im so excited about it.In the morning I put a note on the table for my mum and it said,Today is my birthday,dont forget it!At school,I got many gifts and cards for my classmates and had a lot of fun.But I was still expecting the birthday party after school.

When it was time to leave school I couldnt wait to go home.When I open the door,there wasnt anybody in the house.There was only a note that said,Coming home late tonight,mum and dad.I try to call them but there was no answer.I was so shocked,do they forget my birthday?How could this be!I was so sad that I couldnt eat anything.I just did my homework and waited for them.

And then,things changed completely.It was about time for dinner,my mother called and told me to go to the restanrant near our house.When I got there I couldnt believed my eyes.Everybody was there:my parents,my relatives,my friends and even my classmates.There was so many gifts and a big cake.What a surprising birthday party!We had a good time and it was the best birthday party ever.

Many people dream to live a healthy life. But sometimes they do not have a

full understanding of healthy life. In my mind, a healthy life includes physical

and mental health. People need to have a healthy diet and regular exercise to

make our physical more and more healthy. At the same time, people have to

remember that mental health is also very important. People need to find ways to

relax themselves and keep a good mood every day. At least do not be depressed

for a long time. People can have a healthy life only when they keep a good

health between physical and mental.

Friends are part of people’s life, we can’t live without friends, or we

will be isolated from the society. When we have troubles, most people will think

of their friends in the first time, for they don’t want the parents know their

hard time. While most peole are losing their friends when they don’t know how to

keep friendship.

Before I went to high school, I lived in the coutryside, where I made a lot

of friends. There was a girl who lived next my house was my best friend, we

talked and share about everything. But when I moved to another city, we had to

be aparted, though I promised her that I would write to her as I had the time, I

only insisted for about half a year. Then I met new friend and I became lazy, we

talked less and less, finally, we lose touch.

Now I have new friends, but I still miss my best friend, our friendship is

lossing as our communication stops. No matter how busy we are, we need to keep

in touch with our friends, don’t let the time takes away this precious

relationship.

Before the summer vocation coming , I expierence so much,Such as being a teacher ,holding ceremony for our graduate ,joinning cet 6,I recon that I am more and more mature and confidence.

The last summer vocation ,I should have been gone to Guangzhou and open my horizon like feel the sense of sitting train ,subway ,seeing sea and soon on,I have ever done so many daydreams in my life,however ,unfortunately,I have to stay changsha ,due to a succession of subjective and obejective reasons.

Never mind ,I don’t care abot where I stay , as long as I happy with my life,I can learn some communications means enough.

The last summer vocation deserve to me treature,I should depict colourful and marverlous frame ,adding kinds of tastes into my daily life ,It lead me optimistic more.

Australia is one of the famous Oceanian country. The country is famous for its wool production and seashore tour. As the climate there is warm and comfortable, many people spend vocations there every year. I’m a super fan of water entertainment, so I choose it as my destination.

In Australia, the sky is bluer than blue, the clouds are whiter than white, all the local people enjoy an optimistic and active life. They also show their kindness and enthusiasm to the tourists.

The first step should be Sydney Opera which is among the most brilliant and splendid architectures in the world. Many world-class plays are put on in it .The surface and shape of it is like a seashell with glory decorations inside.

Then Melbourne is a good choice to be as the next step. In Melbourne, skin screen is a must to take with as the sunshine is upset and may burn your skin. The most attractive thing to me is the Australia Open, which is one of the biggest world-class tennis competition. Many great players such as Roddick Federer and its local player Hewitt etc. gather to compete. It’s really a feast for the eyes.

Australia is also home to one of the most challenging and exciting surfing and diving projects. As we know, it is always called “a country riding on the back of sheep”. From the interesting saying ,we can know something about the rich wool-production country. If you love animals, kangaroos and kaolas are good company to you .

So don’t forget Australia when you plan a trip.

I have learned English for many years, but I don’t have a chance to speak foreigners before.

last week, I happened to encounter a foreigner, I felt so excited, he needed my help. It was on Monday, I went to the flower shop to buy a flower for my friend, because she was ill, I was going to the hospital to see her. Then a foreigner and the boss were having conversation, but the boss didn’t know what the foreigner said, I hesitated for a while, then I came to help the boss.

The boss and the foreigner thanked me so much, I felt so happy, the language I learn is useful. Since then, I want to learn English well.

老板和外国人很感激我，我觉得很开心，我学到的语言终于派上用场了。从那时起，我想要把英语学好。

Cell phones have become increasingly popular in china these days. wherever

you go you can see people using cell phones. many college students, even high

school students, have cell phones.

Cell phones have brought people a lot of benefits, but the most important

is that they are convenient. with cell phones in their hands, they can keep in

touch with anybody they want. if they want to get some information from the

internet, they can easily have their dream realized via cell phones too.

furthermore, if someone has a heart attack or a traffic accident, a call to

emergency hospital or to the police can quickly bring him the help he wants.

However, cell phones can also bring people problems. the most serious is

the electric wave radiation which is thought to be harmful to users brains.

another problem is that when people are having a meeting or having a class or at

a concert etc, the ring of the cell phone may interrupt others. so i think

people should use cellphones as little as possible and turn them off when they

are attending important meetings or attending classes.

I love my home full of laughter.

我爱我那充满欢声笑语的家乡。

春天，柳树姐姐脱掉了白连衣裙，换上了绿婚装。调皮的小草弟弟探出了小脑袋，小花妹妹露出了洁白的面颊。农民伯伯在田野里辛勤的耕耘、播种。我们小孩子在草坪上玩耍。小鸟仿佛被吸引住了，也放声歌唱。在那美丽的乡村里留下了美好的回声。

夏天，溪水哗哗的流着。我们小孩子在河边玩耍嬉戏。大人们在树阴下谈天说地。知了在叫着，好象在说：“热死了热死了!”小鸟在天空上自由自在地愉快飞翔。在那美丽的田野里留下了美好的回忆。

秋天，枫树姐姐飘落着红叶，仿佛在迎接丰收的一年。小花准备去和它的哥哥姐姐们告别了。农民伯伯在希望的田野上，收获着自己的劳动成果。我们在帮助农民伯伯干活儿。小鸟成群结队地在和这里的一切告别。在那充满欢笑的田野里留下了美好的告别声。

冬天，大雪纷纷扬扬地下了起来。我们在小路上愉快地玩耍。所有的植物都屈服了，只有那冬青树在风雪中傲然屹立。动物们大多都冬眠了。在这僻静的冬天里，留下了冬姐姐的足迹。

我爱我的家乡。

Christmas is one of the most important celebrations of the year for the western countries. It falls on the twenty- fifth of December and has the same importance as Chinese New Year to people with English backgrounds. The celebration is for the birth of Jesus Christ, who is the son of God in Christianity. Now days Christmas is no longer only celebrated by the Christians, but by most people from all over the world.

On the twenty- fourth of December everyone gets excited for it’s the day before Christmas which is called Christmas Eve. The children are usually sent to bed early and are warned that “Santa Claus will only come and give you a present if you be good.” The younger kids actually believe that Santa will come down the chimney on the sleigh that’s pulled by his reindeers. Food like short bread and beer are prepared for Santa when he comes, however most times parents just eat them. Some children put socks and sacks up for the holding of the presents (that their parents put in).

Rise and shine on Christmas morning! The children are always the first ones to wake up, some even do at four. Present wrappers everywhere! They look into their presents with a big smile on their face and oh dear….I hope no one’s disappointed. I feel sorry for anyone that got pink underwear. Children play while dinner is prepared by the adults. The Christmas dinner are usually eaten together by relatives. The tradition of Christmas pudding and roosters are usually eaten with deserts afterwards. The rest of the day is usually games and fun before the good days all come to an end.

I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!

The animal is the friend of our human beings. We live in the same earth. Animals and human beings can’t be separated from each other. But some animals are getting less and less. So it’s necessary for us to protect animals, especially wild animals. Some people kill wild animal because of money. It’s illegal. Beside, because of the development of society, human needs more space to live in, so we explore the forest. Animals have less space to live in. The number of wild animals decreases year by year. It’s high time to take actions to protect wild animals.

动物是人类的朋友，我们共同生活在地球上。动物和人类不可以彼此分离。但有些动物的数量越来越少，所以我们有必要去保护动物，特别是野生动物。一小部分人为了赚钱而去猎杀野生动物，这是违法行为。此外，由于社会的发展，人类需要的生活空间，所以要开发森林。然而动物的生存空间却变少了。野生动物的数量逐年减少，现在该是采取措施保护野生动物的时候了。

Last autumn we took a trip to Qianshan by bus. It is about thirty miles from the city. We planned to put up in a hotel there in order to watch the sun rise the next morning.

As soon as we got there, we began to climb up the mountains. How great the sight is! We felt as if we had entered amother world full of beauty, peaeefulness and loveliness. There are hundreds of mountains, one after another. there are magnificent cliffs, one above another. We climbed up vigorously and breathed the fresh air greedily. As the sun was going down, we descended to a little hotel at the foot of the hill, where we had a big dinner, and then went to bed early so as to regain the energy ior the expedition next morning.

Before daybreak, we reached the peak of the highest mountain after a hard groping and climbing in the dark. Unaware of the cold wind, we stood motionlessly, with our eyes fixing at the hr end of the east. Suddenly thin ravs of red hue spread across the sky. As the redness deepened, some mysterious clouds moved across thc sky, dividing heaven from the earth. Just at this moment, up from the brightening far east rose the sun. It was so red and yet so tender that we could gaze at it with naked eyes. and a slight applause from us. the amazed spectators, rang through the peak. Up, up it rose, adding to itself strength and glory at every step. It dazzled with vigour, driving away darkness, cold, and misery from the earth, and bring light, warmth, and happiness to men.

We were completely amazed at the wonder and the greatness of nature. We jumped and shouted like innocent children and we bathed in the first rays of the sun with the peak till it was time for our return.

Nowadays, almost everyone has a mobile phone. Some people even have two or

three. Mobile phones changes our lives a lot. It’s so easy to get to others. All

you have to do is making a call. You can talk to anyone no matter how far you

are. Making calls and texting messages are the basic functions of mobile phones.

But now, we can do a lot of things by mobile phones, such as listening to the

music, watching movies, taking photos, reading books and so on. It’s so

functional that it seems like a computer to some extent. Some people even deal

with their business by mobile phones. It’s amazing.

Once I had a very good friend, but since we had different opinions on the

problem, we never talked to each other again and we lost our friendship. So I

was wondering if the long time friendship existed. Later I met a new friend, we

shared the same interest and she showed me the good qualities, such as patience

and kindness. Sometimes when we had argument, she would not angry and left a

while to let me calm down. Now I learn to be considerate. I cherish our

friendship so much and I treat her as my lifetime friend. The good friendship

should be maintained by each other.
