People often praise mothers great, but, who can think of at a side left out of the father? No, there is little.

When people praise the mother gives us life, who is on the side with the anticipation of eyes, hope to be able to get from us a little, even if it is only insufficient in the mothers care about one over ten thousand of all right! Who is it? Is he, hold up the backbone of the family, he is, without a word hard for us, is he, is one of the same mother and a great man. He is his father. Father, may not express it like a mothers love for us, in our eyes, father is probably a strict with us, not let little things we do wrong, may be you will feel that his father does not love us, actually, is not the case, although he surface and strict to us, but his heart is not lack of love for us.

Thank for a mother for almost everybody, but I do want to thank my father, if there is no his harsh glare, without his seemingly indifferent expression, without his strict requirements, if not his heart to love me, I will not be so happy now.

Father, I thank you from the bottom of my heart deeply, thank you for my special love for many years.

人们常常歌颂母亲的伟大，可是，又有谁能够想起在一旁被冷落的父亲呢?不，几乎没有。

在人们赞颂母亲给予我们生命的时候，是谁在一旁带着期盼的目光，希望能从我们这里能得到一丝，哪怕只是不足于对母亲的关心的万分之一也好啊!是谁呢?是他，是撑起这个家的顶梁柱，是他，没有一丝怨言地为我们而努力，是他，是一位同样和母亲伟大的人。他，是父亲。父亲，可能不像母亲一样表达出来对我们的爱，在我们的眼里，父亲可能是个对我们要求严格，不容我们做错一丁点事情的人，可能你们会觉得父亲不爱我们，其实，并不是这样，他虽然表面上对我们和严格，可其实他的内心并不缺乏对我们的爱。

几乎所有人都感谢母亲，而我却要感谢我的父亲，如果没有他那严厉的目光，如果没有他看似冷漠的表情，如果没有他那严格的要求，如果没有他那一颗爱我的心，我将不会像现在这么的幸福。

我从心底里深深地感谢您，父亲，感谢您多年来对我那特殊的爱。

The new summer holiday is coming. As we know, summer is a beautiful season. During the coming summer holiday, I am going to study English. Then I am going to borrow some science books from

the library and discuss problems with my classmates, I’ll help my parents do some housework in my house, and I’ll water the flowers and trees our garden. I am going to play basketball, volleyball and

badminton with my neighbours in the afternoon. At the same time, if my father has time, he’ll teach me to swim. I’ll have fun.

Ah ha, when I get up, it was time for lunch. But I really have a lot of

work to do, I must write words English dairy, then learned “Li yang” English,

then …… .Oh, my god, if I do it in the afternoon, I will ready to dead. So I

哈哈,当我起床的时候,刚好到了午餐时间。但我真的有很多工作要做,我必须写单词,然后学习"李阳疯狂英语",然后……哦,我的上帝,如果我要一直做到下午,我真的快死了。因此我在写单词,写我的英文日记。希望我能完成今天这些任务。再见了!

“失火了！失火了！”一声声叫喊吵醒了我。我揉着蒙眬的睡眼向窗外一看，呀，对面王阿姨家的小平房烧着了！那熊熊大火像恶魔一样吞噬着平房，滚滚浓烟从中涌出来。大火越来越猛，可却没有出来。我们都为王阿姨及她的家人捏了把汗。

"Fire!

Theres a fire! " A shout woke me up. I rubbed Mengs sleeping eyes and looked

out of the window. Ah, the small bungalow opposite Aunt Wangs house was

burning! The blaze devoured the bungalow like a demon, and smoke poured out of

it. The fire grew fiercer and fiercer, but it didnt come out. We all sweat for

Aunt Wang and her family.

在众人都在担忧时，王阿姨和她的家人却平安无事地逃了出来。原来，当大火来袭时，王阿姨没有惊慌失措，而是镇定地把家中的被子、棉衣全用水浸湿，裹在身上，并用湿毛巾捂住口、鼻，等火势稍小时逃了出来。没一会儿，消防员来了，他们立即扑灭了大火。

When

everyone was worried, Aunt Wang and her family escaped peacefully. It turned out

that when the fire hit, Aunt Wang did not panic, but calmly soaked the quilt and

cotton padded clothes in her home with water, wrapped them around her body,

covered her mouth and nose with a wet towel, and escaped a little later. After a

while, the firemen came, and they put out the fire immediately.

这次起火的原因，就是家里的易燃物品被烧着了，虽然是小物品，但是烧着了火势可不小哇！

The

reason for the fire is that the inflammables in the house are burned. Although

its small, the fire is not small!

我们身边处处都会有安全隐患，同学们，我们要把消防安全牢记心中！

There

will be hidden dangers around us. Students, we should keep fire safety in

mind!

My name is Qiou Ye. I am twelve.My favorite sport is ping-pong and swimming. I like basketbll and I like volletball. I can play the piano and draw, I can play them very well. This is Me.

Can you tell me about yourself ?

我的名字是丘叶。我十二岁，我最喜欢的运动是乒乓球和游泳。我喜欢篮球，我喜欢volletball。我可以弹钢琴和画画，我可以打得很好。这是我。

你能告诉我你自己吗?

家乡的冬天与其它季节差不多，偶尔刮一阵大风，时常只是刮一些微弱的北风，或许是寒冬还没有真正来临，微风落在我们身上感到非常凉爽。但一旦严冬到来，呼呼的大风就会令我们捂紧衣服，生怕寒风钻进体内。

冬天最令人盼望的就是下雪，一下雪就不同寻常了。如果下了一夜的雪。清晨起来，远远就会瞧见一片儿白，一片儿亮。整个城市仿佛都被雪的气息给渲染了，原来活力四射的城市更令人赞叹，极目远眺，仿佛就是一片银白色的城堡。大树也银装素裹，包装设计别有一番风韵。如果配上一首小插曲，那就是“绝代双骄”了。

家乡的冬天，令我们大为舒适，我觉得冬天真好!

那天傍晚，我们去婆婆家吃饭，婆婆家在街的东边的楼上，阳台正好面对广场。

等姑妈们都到齐了之后，我们大家举杯互相祝福，辞旧迎新，记春节。在快乐喜气的气氛中我们边吃边说，耳边不时传来零星的鞭炮声，时钟滴答滴答地带着我们悄悄地走向新年。正吃得起劲的时候，忽然，“轰—啪”一声巨响，把我吓了一跳，接着“噼噼啪啪”四周像是约好似的都响了起来。我。妹妹和哥哥们赶紧跑到阳台上去看看，这一看我就不想回来了，烟花四起：这边一个流星窜上天空刚爆炸，那边一串烟火就不甘落后地飞散开来;左边的百字炮噼里啪啦刚停，右边的“吉祥三宝”礼花就哧哧喷射……烟花把本来灯火辉煌的广场照射得像白天，周围的高楼大厦反射出烟花的影子，烟花又照亮了高楼的轮廓，不知道是烟花让高楼更明，还是高楼让烟花更亮。我一会儿看这，一会儿看那，眼花缭乱，我忍不住也加入了他们的队伍。最好看的是“富贵竹”。“富贵竹”穿着绿衣裳，个子粗壮，一节一节的，非常逼真。在放得时候，我两手紧握“富贵竹”的尾巴，一头架在窗台上，因为太重，我还请爸爸帮我一起握着。点着了火，“富贵竹”头里冒了会烟，紧接着就窜出了红、黄、蓝、绿等颜色，五光十色，绚丽多彩……

晚饭后回到家，我们还看了春节联欢晚会，里面的小品逗得我捧腹大笑，舞蹈精彩动人，歌声欢快喜庆，就这样我们一直守夜到12点。这时候，鞭炮又噼里啪啦地响了起来，人们在迎接新年的到来，持续了一小时，震耳欲聋的声响才渐渐平息下来，我们也可以安心地睡觉了;带着快乐的微笑，带着新年的喜气，带着美好的祝愿，我们进入了甜蜜的梦乡……

军训第三天。

早上定了闹钟，但睡觉时间根本不够，于是又继续补觉。睡了大概10分钟，在心里默数一二三，蛮不情愿地坐起来，赶紧去刷牙洗脸。

来到训练基地，开始军训。总教官让我们六个班一起站军姿。刚开始的时候，大家一个个都精神十足，军姿站的十分标准。可到最后的时候，太阳光越来越强，不知不觉向我们逼近。我的手上已经被蚊子咬了包，后背已经滴下了汗珠，好像是故意考验我一般，弄得我直痒痒，这才是真正考验毅力的时候。我一遍遍地提醒自己，坚持坚持再坚持，我咬着牙，继续保持站姿，尽量不去想。时间久了，脚和腿都很痛，但是，这点苦算什么，初中还有很多磨练自己的地方，要做好自己现在应该做的。别人能做好的，我就不能吗?

时间一分一秒地流逝。有两个女生因为身体不适，向教官指示后便去一旁休息了。教官还一直在鼓励我们坚持。终于到了最后，总教官和我们一起倒数最后十秒钟。在这一刻，我看到的是我们努力的回报，奋斗的成果!

今天天气晴朗、阳光明媚，最适合出门，我和妈妈要去超市购物。到了超市，妈妈推了一个购物车，因为在家里列了一个购物清单，我们很清楚要买什么东西，清单上有十四种东西，我们先去了生活用品区，买了拖鞋、袜子、衣架、碗、洗洁精、洗手液、洗衣粉，然后又去了水果蔬菜区，买了土豆、胡萝卜、辣椒、橘子、蓝莓、柚子、哈密瓜，我拉着妈妈去了零食饮料区，我买了薯片、饼干、果冻、干脆面、果脯、棒棒糖、奶糖、虾条、爆米花、巧克力、草莓冰茶、可口可乐、冷鲜奶

，妈妈说：“买这麽多垃圾食品干什么，清单上又没有。”，我对妈妈说：“妈，求你了，求你了，给我买吧，我要带宿舍里吃。”，我妈还是说不过我，就给我买了，嘿嘿，其实我带宿舍里是和同学换着吃。

Today, the weather is clear and sunny, and the most suitable for going out. My mother and I will go to the supermarket to shop.When I arrived at the supermarket, my mother pushed a shopping cart, because we listed a shopping list at home, we knew what to buy. There were 14 kinds of things on the list.Bowl, detergent, hand -washing fluid, washing powder, and then went to the fruit and vegetable area, bought potatoes, carrots, peppers, orange, blueberries, grapefruit, cantaloupe, I pulled my mother to the snack beverage area, I bought potatoFilm, biscuits, jelly, simply noodles, preserved fruit, lollipop, toffee, shrimp, popcorn, chocolate, strawberry ice tea, Coca -Cola, cold fresh milk

, Mom said, "What do you buy so much garbage food? There is no one on the list.", I said to my mother, "Mom, please, please, buy it, I want to take it in the dormitory."My mother still said it, so I bought it for me. Hey, in fact, I took the dormitory with my classmates to eat.

Almost all people work hard for success, but not all people can success.

Many people ask how to make success. I think the answer is persistence. The way

to success is full of failure and difficulty. People should never give up when

meet them. If you give up, you can’t be successful. No matter how hard it is,

persistence must be there.

爆竹声中一岁徐，春风送暖入屠苏。呵呵!今天是除夕，我并没有像以前一样睡懒觉，早早的就起来了，穿上了早转备好的新衣服——一件黑色风衣，跟爸爸妈妈来到奶奶家。

一进门就看见奶奶正在厨房做年夜饭，有牛肚子、羊肚子、羊肉、鸡肉、牛肉、猪肉、猪肠子……摆得到处都是。一会儿，大伯带着姐姐来到奶奶家。

“姐姐!过年好呀。”“弟弟，我也给你准备了红包，等下记得来拿呀!”说完，便一起看电视。

“当——当——”中午十二点的铃声响了，我们来到饭桌前。爸爸和大伯先盛了几晚饭，倒了几杯酒，说是要给死去的列祖列宗吃饭，保佑我们在新的一年里幸福美满。接着，还要给逝去的先人们烧钱呢!我和姐姐连忙抢过大伯手里的纸钱，在阳台上忙活了半天，终于把纸钱烧完了。

祭奠完祖先了，大伙都坐在饭桌前吃起了年夜饭。我端起“酒”(饮料)杯，高兴地对大家说：“爷爷奶奶，祝你们在新的一年里健健康康!祝爸爸妈妈、大伯小伯在新的一年里事业有成!当然，也祝我自己和姐姐在新的一年里学习进步……”说完，他们也对我回谢：“肖雨昂，也祝你身体健康，学习更上一层楼。”

晚上，爷爷奶奶又把没吃完的菜给热好，给我们做宵夜。吃完饭后，爷爷又把象棋桌拿出来，说要跟我下棋，看我的棋艺进步了没有……下玩象棋后，我又跟全家人一同来到屋顶上放鞭炮、烟花。我首先点了一个名叫“花满堂”的烟花，非常漂亮……

初一到了，早上吃晚饭，又跟着爸爸妈妈来到外婆家拜年。

在新的一年里，我希望全家人能幸福健康，快快乐乐……

Saturday， my grandma made dumplings， one of the dumplings like obedient little ducks swimming in the bowl。 My in the mind have a little not to eat them。 But the smell of fragrance and let me greedy slobber， I eat up tit-bit。 But I eat dumplings， the heart have a kind of feeling can not tell。翻译：星期六我奶奶家包饺子了，一个个的饺子像听话的小鸭子在碗里游来游去。我心里有点不忍心吃他们了。但是那扑鼻而来的香味又让我馋得流口水，我就大口大口地吃了起来。但是我吃完饺子，心里有一种说不出来的感觉。

一个古老的传说，诞生了一个美丽的节日，七夕东方情人节，牛郎织女的传说总让我浮想联翩。七夕会，一个人人知晓的爱情佳话。 An ancient legend, a beautiful festival, Qixi East Valentines Day, the legend of the cowherd and weaver girl always made me imagination.The Tanabata Association, a good love of everyone knows.

每年农历七月初七是我国汉族的传统节日七夕，也是中国的情人节。七夕节是我国众多传统节日中有浪漫色彩的一个节日。在过去曾经是众多情人最为重视的一个日子，往往他们会在这天晚上虔诚的礼拜牛郎和织女，乞求爱情婚姻的姻缘巧配，能够使将来婚姻生活幸福美满。

“伫灵匹于星期，眷神资于月夕”，在晴朗的夏秋之月，天上繁星闪烁，一道白茫茫的银河横贯南北，在河的东西两岸，各有一颗闪亮的星星，隔河相望，遥遥相对，那就是牵牛星和织女星。

相传牛郎、织女是一对恩爱、生活美好的夫妻，但由于王母的原因，使这对恩爱、亲密的夫妻现在天各一方，只能遥遥相望，千言万语只能通过眼泪来表达。这都是天庭定下的烂规矩：人仙不可相爱。人仙为什么不能相爱呢?……最可恶的是那个王母娘娘，不顾儿女之情，决然做出这种残酷的手段，拆散这对美好的烟缘，而且使他们永远不得相见。牛郎织女隔着清且浅的银河遥遥相望，终日只有以泪洗脸。但她们的真情感动了天下的所有喜鹊，都纷纷飞到银河为牛郎织女搭起了一座桥梁，使他们暂时能够再次相会。牛郎织女的真情和喜鹊的这种行为感动了王母。但为了维护天庭的尊严，王母最后只能允许了牛郎和织女在每年的七月初七相会一次。

牛郎和织女的七夕会让人听起来有一点心酸，但神话毕竟是神话，愿天下有情人终成眷属。

Today is Christmas day, my family is very happy, I love Christmas.

Just in time for Christmas, dad said: "the evening 12:00, be sure to eat fruit." Waiting for ah, ah, I fast asleep, I just dont wait any longer. At this time, father and sister said to me: "your clean socks, on your bed, at night, Santa Claus will give you a Christmas present." Put the socks after, I will wait for the arrival of the 12:00, I go out, see a clock, ha ha! What a coincidence! Dad, dad eat fruit peace! "Oh, I know."

In the morning, I have a look at my socks, bulging, I see, hey! Really have a gift, elder sister, elder sister, LOOK! My socks gift, Christmas is Santa Claus, elder sister said: "the gift is not Santa Claus, is our mom and dad." "Oh, I know."

Christmas I know a secret, is that Santa Claus is not Santa Claus, but my mom and dad.

今天是圣诞节，我们家人很开心，我很喜欢圣诞节。

在圣诞节的时候，爸爸说：“晚上12:00，一定要吃平安果。”我等呀等呀，等得我快睡着了，我实在等不下去了。这时，老爸对我和姐姐说：“把你们干净的袜子，放在你的床上，夜里，圣诞老人会给你圣诞礼物。”把袜子放好以后，我就等待12:00的到来，我一出去，就看钟表，呵呵!真巧!爸爸，爸爸吃平安果了!“哦，知道了。”

到了早上，我一看我的袜子，鼓鼓的，我一看，嘿!真有礼物，姐姐，姐姐，LOOK!我的袜子里有礼物，圣诞节真有圣诞老人，姐姐说：“送礼物的不是圣诞老人，是我们的爸爸妈妈。”“哦，知道了。”

过圣诞节我知道了一个秘密，是：圣诞老人不是圣诞老人，而是我的爸爸妈妈。

薄雾袅袅，细雨潇潇的初中生活描绘出青春的灿烂与怅惘;在快乐，憧憬中夹杂着淡淡的忧伤。我的初中生活像那些动人的花，琳琅如同绛紫色的星辰，在蓝天清澈的瞳孔里游弋。

苍翠的松柏依然是万古不变的深绿，地上不知何时铺上了一条黄金的地毯。视线随着飘飞的落叶投向操场。风，在宽大的校园里辗转而过。这个秋天，先于对初中生活满怀憧憬的我而到达了。

经过一个学期的磨砺，丰硕的果实缓缓叙述着快乐与忧伤，奋进与彷徨。生活中的和风细雨，抑或是波涛澎湃，点点滴滴，构成了巨大的框架，里面载着老师孜孜不倦的教诲，同学们天真灿烂的欢声笑语，考场上无声的竞争，还有青春不羁的沉思……

伸手打捞起记忆中一个被阳光照得晶莹剔透的花絮。我看见了班级体育健将正在篮球场上运筹帷幄，个个英姿飒爽，上下飞扬着惊人的热情与活力，彼此配合默契，情同手足，那呼啸而起的篮球飓风镶着金灿灿的阳光，烛影般地飘摇，让场外的老师和拉拉队们都摩拳擦掌，跃跃欲试。

篮球队员们的颠球和转身过人，精准的远投和封盖，拉拉队适时的鼓掌吹响亮的口哨，用手扩在嘴边大喊加油。歌声，笑声，是我初中生活的主旋律。

记忆被放大了细节，在那个考试前的最后一个晚自习，没有谁讲话，大家都带着庄重的神情拘谨地坐着，为明天的考试做最后的冲刺，经过一个学期的砥砺和考验，让我明白了何为追求，何为成功。乐观，进取，是我初中生活的主打调。

No sooner had the witer vacation begun than I returned to my native town.

Of course I must make good use of it;.In the morning I reviewed my lessons and

read newspapers or magazines. In the afternoon I played ball games with my

friends or went fishing in the river. At night I watched television with my

family. hardly had the clock on the wall struck ten when I went to bed.
