In order to make our city cleaner and more beautiful, the young volunteers

of our school went to the Peoples Park this morning and offered our help.

At eight, the head of the park met us at the gate. After being divided into

groups, we set out to work at once. Some tidied up the parking area and had

motorbikes paiked in the right place. Some took care of the flowers and bushes,

and persuaded people to keep off the grass. Around the tiger den, one group kept

order to prevent accidents from happening. At the aquarium, another group worked

as guides and advised visitors not to smoke. When some of us were doing

cleaning, an old man praised us and said, "Well done, young fellows!

We were all tired but happy. What a morning we had today!

Welcome to Hangzhou. I am Li Yue, president of the Student Union in my

school. Id like to briefly introduce the Hangzhou Public Bicycle Service to

you. Our city insists to protect the environment, so we began to use the Public

Bicycle Service to reduce the traffic stress in 2008. There were 65 thousand

bicycles for people to use in daily life. In general, more than 8 million people

have to use them every year.

Some people think they are very useful and believe they will make our

society more beautiful. Others think they are not convenient enough. As far as I

can see, reading a bicycle is so interesting. We can take exercise with it.

Meanwhile, Our environment get protected. Lets go into action!

In school,we have summer vacation.In summer,the weather is so hot that our

brain needs a rest after a period of hard work.Thus it is for health reasons

that we have our summer vacation.

There are many kinds of sports,which are good for health in summer,such as

swimming,tennis and baseball.But care should be taken not to practice such

sports all day long,which would be very bad for our health.

Another point we have to consider is that our time should not be spent

entirely in playing.We attend school in order to get some knowledge,which will

be useful in our life

When I was in high school, one day, my Chinese teacher was so excited to tell us that our country’s first spaceman had landed the space successfully. Hearing the news, all the students felt excited, too, we were so proud that we were Chinese, it meant that our country had stepped into the new stage.

Now many years have passed, more and more Chinese spacemen have flied to the space successfully, every time I will feel very excited, I am so happy to see our country become stronger.

当我上高中的时候，有一天，我的语文老师很兴奋地告诉我们我国的第一个宇航员已经成功地登上了外太空。听到这个消息，所有的学生都感到很兴奋，我们为自己是中国人而感到自豪，这意味着我们的国家已经进入了新的阶段。中国的第一个宇航员叫杨利伟，在那个时候，所有的新闻都是报道了他，人们观看了他登上太空并安全返回的过程。我没有机会目睹整个过程，因为我当时有课，但是我一直在想着这件事。如今很多年过去了，越来越多的中国宇航员成功登上了太空，每一次我都会感到很兴奋，我很高兴看到我们国家变得强大。

Recently, the weather is always foggy, I desire to go out to play always goofing around by the weather. By reading the newspaper, I see this kind of weather is fog, its because suffer from serious air pollution is formed under certain conditions. The air quality around us, it seems, really worrying wow.

I learned from the newspaper that the recent most region of east-central China shrouded in a fog, there was a joke, "the furthest distance in the world is - youre standing in front of me, but I cant see you!" Miles "haze" fell to the general public had panic, mom always said to me, the air pollution is too serious, cant go out. Many pedestrians travel when put on a mask, in order to cope with poor air quality, but always let a person feel breath.

The first two heaven like a snow, full of expectation to the snowfall, thought the snow fog haze will dissipate. After a haze in the mist, however, in many places the air quality is worse. Newspaper has reported the effects of the cause of the bad weather, let I also attention of fog is increasing day by day.

In view of the fog weather continued, around a lot of measures to improve air quality, such as restrictions on vehicle travel, elimination of old vehicles, oil to gas generation and so on.

Purify air, improve the environment, urgent! Let us all act, but also a clean world!

近期，天气总是雾蒙蒙的，我想出门玩耍的愿望总是被这鬼天气给搅和了。通过阅读报纸，我明白了这种天气就是雾霾，它是因为空气遭受比较严重的污染才在一定的条件下形成的。看来，我们身边的空气质量真令人堪忧哇。

我从报纸上得知，近期我国中东部大部分地区笼罩在一片雾霾之中，有人戏言：“世界上最远的距离是——你站在我面前，我却看不到你!”十里“霾”伏让广大市民心生恐慌，妈妈总是对我说空气污染太严重了，不能出门。许多行人出行时都戴上口罩，以此来应对恶劣的空气质量，却总让人有喘不过气的感觉。

前两天降过一场雪，大家对这次降雪充满期待，以为雪后雾霾就会消散。然而雪后雾霾依在，不少地方的空气质量更差了。报纸频频报道这种恶劣天气产生的原因带来的影响，让我也对雾霾的关注度日益提高。

针对持续的雾霾天气，各地出台不少措施来改善空气质量，如限制车辆出行，淘汰老旧车辆，以气代油等等。可是，我想，这还不是根本，政府部门应该从根本上着手解决相关问题。

净化空气，改善环境，刻不容缓!让我们大家都行动起来，还世界一片洁净!

If I were a boy again, I would practice perseverance more often, and never

give up a thing because it was or inconvenient. if we want light, we must

conquer darkness. perseverance can sometimes equal genius in its results. “there

are only two creatures,” says a proverb, “who can surmount the pyramids—the

eagle and the snail.”

if i were a boy again, I would school myself into a habit of attention; i

would let nothing come between me and the subject in hand. i would remember that

a good skater never tries to skate in two directions at once.the habit of

attention becomes part of our life, if we begin early enough. i often hear grown

up people say “ i could not fix my attention on the sermon or book, although I

wished to do so” , and the reason is, the habit was not formed in youth.

if I were to live my life over again, I would pay more attention to the

cultivation of the memory. I would strengthen that faculty by every possible

means, and on every possible occasion. it takes a little hard work at first to

remember things accurately; but memory soon helps itself, and gives very little

trouble. it only needs early cultivation to become a power.

The National Day is a designated date on which celebrations mark the nationhood of a country.(国庆节) Often the National Day will be a national holiday.

The National Day is often taken as the date on which a state or territory achieved independence. Other dates such as the countrys patron saint day, or a significant historic date are sometimes used. Most countries have a single National Day per year, though a few, for example, India and Pakistan, have more than one. Besides that, each of the two special administrative regions of the Peoples Republic of China, namely Hong Kong and Macao, celebrate the day of the establishment of the special administrative region, as well as the National Day of the Peoples Republic of China.

The importance attached to the National Day, and the degree to which it is celebrated, vary enormously from country to country. In France, for example, National Day is 14 July and is known as Bastille Day. It is widely celebrated and the French Tricolour is much in evidence, while the President of the Republic attends a military parade on the Champs-élysées of Paris. In the United States, the Fourth of July celebrations are widely celebrated with fireworks and barbecues. In the Republic of Ireland, St. Patricks Day, March 17, has been the National Day and a Public Holiday for many years, and in recent years it has been observed as a full Public Holiday in Northern Ireland too. However, in the rest of the United Kingdom the constituent countries patron saints days are low-key affairs.

Most countries have a fixed date National Day, but some have movable dates. An example here is Jamaica, which celebrates its National Day on the first Monday in August. This commemorates independence from the United Kingdom which was attained on Monday, 6 August 1962 - the first Monday in August of that year. Another example is Thailand which celebrates the birthday of the King on 5 December. This date will change on the accession of the heir to the throne.

暑假里，我看了一本有趣的童话故事书。

During the summer vacation, I read an interesting book of fairy tales.

我喜欢看这本书，因为这是我看过的童话书中最好看的一本书，我反复看了三、四遍，我对这本书是爱不释手。

I like to read this book, because it is the best I have seen the book of fairy tales in the book, I read it three or four times, I was one of this book.

这本书大概描写的是：有四个孩子无意中进入了一个衣橱，来到了一个叫“那尼亚”的地方，那里由一个女巫统治着，女巫把“那尼亚”变成了冬天。孩子们和一头狮子打败了女巫，春天回来了，孩子们也当上了国外和女王。许多年后，孩子们都长大了，他们追捕一头仙鹿时，无意中回到了衣橱里。

This book is about it: there are four children inadvertently entered a wardrobe, and came to a place called "Narnia", where a witch to witch ruled, "Narnia" into winter. The children and the lion beat the witch, spring is coming, the children also became a foreign queen. Many years later, the children have grown up, they pursue a fairy deer, inadvertently back in the closet.

我看完这本书后，想到了另一个结尾，我觉得这个结尾更适合这本书，就是：至今，衣橱还在那个人家里，你不信就去看看吧!

I read this book, the thought of another end, I think this is more suitable for the end of the book, is still in the closet:, family, you do not believe it to have a look!

As the world gets globalized, the communication between countries has been enhanced, studying abroad has become a dream for countless young students.

The English-speaking countries can provide me a good chance for me to gain my knowledge. I can know more about the culture and conventions, it helps me to do some translation work.

I can learn how to communicate with others, how to take care of myself and so on. All these abilities are vital for my future career.

在这一则报导中，我学到很多事，但我第一个想到的是，造成地球变暖的原因是二氧化碳增加。

In this paper, I have learned a lot of things, but I think the first one is the cause of global warming, the increase of carbon dioxide.

为什么二氧化碳会增加呢?我想到的原因是人们常常开车、养食家畜、工厂大量排放黑烟……等。不过这些是大家可以一起解决，说不定可以改善地球继续暖化，例如：目的地很近的话可以骑自行车;目的地很远的话，可以搭乘公共交通运输工具;家畜的排泄物经过处理再排入河内;工厂可以建一座废弃处理厂……等。

Why carbon dioxide will increase? I think the reason is often drive, raising livestock, food factory emissions of smoke...... Etc.. But these are all can solve them together, it can improve the Earth continues to warm, for example: the destination is close enough to ride a bike; destination long enough, can take the public transport; waste livestock treated and then discharged into the Hanoi factory; to build a waste treatment plant...... Etc..

请大家不要小看二氧化碳的威力，等到海平面上升、都市浸水和农地淹没，到最后就会面临粮食不足的危机了。请大家跟我一起喊：“停止伤害地球的行为吧!我们居住的地球只有一个。”

Please do not underestimate the power of carbon dioxide, when the sea level rise, urban water and farmland submerged, eventually facing food shortage. Please call with me: "stop the harm to the earths behavior! Only one earth on which we live. "

Before we read the books, the introduction will be showed ahead of the

stories’ beginning. At first, I get used to the introduction and have the main

idea of the stories. But later, as I read more books, I find the introduction is

not a good way to help readers to appreciate the charm of the stories. Usually,

the readers will get the main idea before they read the stories, because some

introduction is very specific, even the ending of the story is being told, so

readers will not feel excited and surprised in the process of reading. While if

they havent read the introduction, then every detail of the story will attract

them, because they have no idea what will happen in the next chapter. So I

advise not to read the introduction, and the unknown plot is full of

attraction.

I am a child of the suns mother, my name is called the earth. I used to live happy, wake up in the morning, light rain "hua" to give me a bath; People planted many trees and flowers in my body, to get dolled up on me, then, clean running around the sun mother I, let the sun mother look at my new skirt.

People in the disaster, are aware of this they destroy me, and they began to care about me, love me! I believe in the days that followed, I will become more beautiful, beautiful!

我是太阳妈妈的孩子，我的名字叫地球。我以前生活的很快乐：早上一醒来，小雨就“哗啦啦”地给我洗澡;人们在我身上种了很多花草树木，把我打扮得漂漂亮亮的，然后，干干净净的我就围着太阳妈妈转来转去，让太阳妈妈看看我的新裙子。下午，孩子们放学了，就和我一起写作业，一起和我玩。晚上，人们也把我打扮的很漂亮，他们给我身上安上路灯，把我打扮的金灿灿的……太阳妈妈说：“人类还真好，不仅把你打扮的很漂亮，还和你一起玩，你真是太有福气，太幸运了!”

可是现在，人类也不像太阳妈妈说的那么好了。他们在我身上乱扔垃圾，把我搞得浑身脏兮兮的，人类的“车”还爱排放尾气，雨下下来的全是脏水，把我越洗越脏;人们还爱乱砍伐树木花草，破坏路灯，把他们给我的衣服也搞得的烂烂的，脏脏的……太阳妈妈劝我说：“你还是摆脱那些人类吧!”可是好心的我又不忍心丢下他们。因为这件事让我每天吃不好饭，睡不好觉，所以，我就生病了，经常发洪水、地震……还有人说2012年可能是我的末日。人们在这些灾难中，意识到了这都是他们破坏我而造成的，于是他们又开始关心我，爱护我了!我相信以后的日子里，我一定会变得更加美丽、漂亮的!

Nowadays, electronic music is very popular around the world. First

electronic music got popular from Lady Gaga, her creative dressing styles caught

peoples attention and then people started to notice her music. They fell in

love with her electronic music. Unlike rock and roll music, electronic music is

more favorable by me. It makes me excited and I am totally lost in the wonderful

music. Once my friends and I went to a music festival. There were so many people

standing there and listening to the music. Especially when the DJ came out and

everybody got excited. When the DJ played electronic music, my friends and I

shook our bodies and joined the crowd to dance. It was such a wonderful

experience for me. I will never forget the power of electronic music. It brings

people together and share the same emotion.

It has been witnessed that since the coming of the cell phone, it has been

developed so fast, thanks to the high technology, today, the function of cell

phone improves a lot, some even can equal to the computer. People like to change

the cell phone, because they want to have more function, but some teenagers lose

wise mind on the road of changing cell phone. They want to buy the newest

product, so that they can show off. Recently, it has been reported a boy sell

his kidney for the purpose of buying an iphone, this is so shocked, the boy is

selling his health for a new cell phone. People should be wise to the cell

phone, they need to figure out that all the cell phones have some common basic

function, some new products’ function is almost the same. They should measure

their situation to buy a new one.

人们已经见证了自从手机的诞生，手机发展得很快，多亏了高科技，今天，手机的功能提高了很多，一些手机甚至可以比得上电脑。人们喜欢换手机，因为他们想要有更多的功能，但是一些青少年在追求换手机的道路上失去了理智。他们想要买最新的手机，这样就可以炫耀。最近，据报道，一个男孩子为了买一台iPhone而去卖肾，这是多么令人震惊啊，男孩为了新手机卖掉了自己的健康。人们应该理智对待手机，他们需要弄清楚所有的手机都具有共同的基本功能，一些新产品的功能几乎都一样。他们应该根据自己的情况来衡量是否买新手机。

My Experience to Eat Buffet

Today, after school, my friends asked me to have dinner with them, I felt so happy and went the restaurant with them. Then I found they wanted to eat buffet, I was so happy, because I always wanted to have buffet, I could eat a lot of food. As we paid the money more than we usually spent, so all of us wanted to eat as more as possible, even though we were full enough, we still tried to eat. I would go the wash room many times, so that I could continue to eat. I found eating the buffet should be a happy thing for me, but now it seemed to be a kind of torture, I always told myself to eat more than I could bear, my stomach hurt. The experience to eat buffet lets me realize that I should enjoy the food instead of eat more than I could bear.

今天，下课后，我的邀请我和他们一起吃晚饭，我感到很开心，和他们一起去馆子。我发现朋友们想要吃自助餐，我很开心，因为我总是想要吃自助餐，我能吃很多食物。因为我们比平常多花了钱，所以我们都想要尽可能的多吃，即使我们足够的吃饱，仍然想要去吃。我会上很多次洗手间，这样我就能继续去吃。我发现吃自助餐对我来说应该是一件开心的事，但是却有点像是折磨，我总是告诉自己多吃，超过了承受的范围，胃都受伤了。吃自助餐的经历让我意识到我应该享受食物，而不是吃到超过自己的承受范围。

The fifteenth day of the first arrived, my family and I go to the

lantern.

Can be busy in the street, people mountain people sea. At seven o clock is

very to, start with fireworks, "bang..." Voice rings, the fireworks are green,

red, yellow, purple, colorful, colorful. Look, a "super-sized" fireworks fly the

sky, and then with a roar, and fireworks sprayed out of the little one was full

of the sky, sometimes like a bauhinia, sometimes like a chrysanthemum. Some

township, bine... "Bang! Bang" rang again, and some bread with a small bee in

fireworks, after the blast, emit the light of fireflies. The colorful decorated

enveloped the entire lijin county. See gold waterfall flows down, every gold

falls and shiny golden flowers covered with earth. As the tang dynasty poet li

bai have cloud: "plunges three thousand feet, suspected galaxy nine days."

From Monday until Friday most people are busy working or studying, but in

the evenings and on weekends they are free to relax and enjoy themselves. Some

watch television or go to the movies; others participate in sports. It depends

on individual interests. There are many different ways to spend our spare

time.

Almost everyone has some kind of hobby. It may be anything from collecting

stamps to making model airplanes. Some hobbies are worth a lot of money; others

are valuable only to their owners.

I know a man who has a coin collection worth several thousand yuan. A short

time ago he bought a rare ten-yuan piece worth 250 yuan. He was very happy about

the purchase and thought the price was reasonable. On the other hand, my son

collects match boxes. He has almost 600 of them but I doubt if they are worth

any money. However, to my son they are extremely valuable. Nothing makes him

happier than to find a new match-box for his collection.

Thats what a hobby means, I guess. It is something we like to do in our

spare time simply for the fun of it. The value in money is not important, but

the pleasure it gives us is.

In the holiday life, I learned a lot of things.

Holiday, brother and sister didnt come back for the summer, I and they play chess marines, perhaps because of their small, or it is not too can play, they always lose, I always think it means nothing to win, my brother and sister also want to play, there is a thought in my heart, for them, I want to say for a moment, who lose, your palms, they all agreed, as if also very happy, we play again, they still lost, ah no way, a... Two... The three... The four... Five...... They have been lost, ah, Im calling from their palms are red, but they dont even wrinkled his brow, they in this way, I think I am very selfish, very bad, how can do this to his brother and sister, other sister, your brother and sister when the little darling, hurt them, protect them, I... Ah, I really, I dont have the heart to say a word I dont play, sister said. "Elder sister, I know you are love, we afraid we hand hurts, dont play sister, we lose, just because of the person to lose to let off, to keep your words, including playing games, we promise you, to lose a hatchet man, not because of who you are, but because my sister was like this.

I I know from their body, to have a backbone, and trustworthy, lost is lost, cant play to depend on, he cant back down.

在假期生活中，我学了不少东西。

放假了，弟弟妹妹没都回来过暑假了，我和他们玩陆战棋，可能因为他们小，或者是不太会打吧，他们总是输，我总赢就觉得没什么意思了，弟弟和妹妹还想玩，我心里就有一个念头，整整他们吧，我想了一会说，谁输了，打手心，他们异口同声的答应了，好像还很高兴，我们又玩了一把，他们还是输了，哎没办法，一把……两把……三把……四把……五把……他们还是一直输，哎，我打的他们手心都红了，可他们连眉头都不皱一下，他们这样，我觉得自己很自私，很坏，怎么可以这样对自己的弟弟妹妹，别的姐姐的把自己的弟弟妹妹当小乖乖一样，疼他们，保护他们，我……哎，我真是的，我不忍心的说了一句我不玩了，妹妹说;“姐姐，我知道你是心疼我们，怕我们手疼才不玩的，姐姐，我们输了，就因该人输让罚，做人要守信，包括玩游戏，我们答应你，输的要打手，不能因为你是我的姐姐就这样。

我从他们身上我知道了，做人要有骨气，守信，输了就输了，不能耍赖，遇事不能知难而退。

One story about Jack,an Irishman,who was not allowed into Heaven because he was stingy with his money.So he was sent to hell.But down there he played tricks on the Devil (Satan),so he was kicked out of Hell and made to walk the earth forever carrying a lantern.

Well,Irish children made Jacks lanterns on October 31st from a large potato or turnip,hollowed out with the sides having holes and lit by little candles inside.And Irish children would carry them as they went from house to house begging for food for the village Halloween festival that honored the Druid god Muck Olla.The Irish name for these lanterns was "Jack with the lantern" or "Jack of the lantern," abbreviated as " Jack-o-lantern" and now spelled "jack-o-lantern."

The traditional Halloween you can read about in most books was just childrens fun night.Halloween celebrations would start in October in every elementary school.

关于万圣节有这样一个故事.是说有一个叫杰克的爱尔兰人,因为他对钱特别的吝啬,就不允许他进入天堂,而被打入地狱.但是在那里他老是捉弄魔鬼撒旦,所以被踢出地狱,罚他提着灯笼永远在人世里行走.

在十月三十一日爱尔兰的孩子们用土豆和萝卜制作“杰克的灯笼”,他们把中间挖掉、表面上打洞并在里边点上蜡烛.为村里庆祝督伊德神的万圣节,孩子们提着这种灯笼挨家挨户乞讨食物.这种灯笼的爱尔兰名字是“拿灯笼的杰克”或者“杰克的灯笼”,缩写为Jack-o-lantern .

现在你在大多数书里读到的万圣节只是孩子们开心的夜晚.
