正月初一那天，天气晴朗，万里无云，我和爸爸，妈妈，小表叔一起去公园划船。到了公园，人真多呀!连划船都要排成长长的队伍，爸爸去买了船票，我们在那里排队等了一个多小时，好不容易才等到了一个空船，我们赶快上了船。

我和小表叔坐在船的最前面，爸爸妈妈坐在后面。我和小表叔轮着掌握方向盘，爸爸妈妈在后面蹬着划船。我们在水里转来转去，玩的高兴极了。正在高兴时，忽然看见我们的船正直直往正前方的一条手划船上撞去，把划船的叔叔阿姨吓的赶紧转弯，把我们俩笑的肚子疼。妈妈说我没掌握好方向便让小表叔掌握方向，我想抵赖，于是就说：“还没到时间呢!”小表叔好象知道我在骗他，就说：“哥，时间是不是到了。”我爸爸说：“时间到了，浩悦让你小表叔来掌握方向。”我极不情愿的让给了他。也不知道今天是怎么了，总有船和我们相撞，刚才我们撞人家的船，现在又有人家的船来撞我们，我们的船劲大，把它撞的转了个弯，又把我和小表叔乐得哈哈大笑。又有一条汽船朝我们驶过来了，爸爸叫我们赶快转弯，我们立刻就转弯躲了过去。

我们看到岸上有人在跳舞便把船划了过去看，看的正美时，岸上有人说我们的船时间到了，叫我们停船靠岸，我们很快把船划了过去，上了岸便回家了。

那天我和小表叔玩的太开心啦!既划了船又知道怎样掌握船的方向，这事就是我寒假里最有趣的一件事。

"Try and try until you succeed." This saying shows the importance of perseverance. I have found through experience that only through hard work can we succeed.Many people have failed in their work or studies, precisely because they had no perseverance. Life, in general, as in many things we do, has never been easy. No one promised us what it would be.

So, if we want to succeed in life, we must be brave to win. This is the standard that differentiates people who succeed in life and those who dont.

Water is very important to us. If you don’t have water for three days, you will die. We can use water for flowers, swimming, washing and many different things. We use it to cook, make electricity, and put out fires and so on. We use millions of liters of water every day.

Do you know how does the water come to your home? It travels through water pipes. Some are long and wide but some are short and narrow. Then the water travels through the water pipes to the reservoirs. Then it travels through the water pipes to the river and to the special factories that purify the water. When the water is purified, we can drink it. Please don’t leave garbage in the water on which we line, and keep the water clean.

Nowadays, there is a growing focus on health care. People are pursuing a

healthy lifestyle. A healthy diet is one of the most important parts of it. As

the saying goes, bread is the staff of life, eating healthily and deliciously is

the goal we pursue. From my point of view, in order to build healthy eating

habits, we should eat more vegetables and less fat and sugar. Vegetable is the

best source of s vitamin, because vegetables are rich in vitamins. Among them,

vitamin C and vitamin A are the most important. Too much fat and sugar can lead

to obesity, which is harmful to health. Besides, eating more fruits and drinking

more water is of great help.

There is no doubt that we all want to be successful. But what’s the main

concern of the way to success? From Abraham Lincoln’s famous remark, “Give me

six hours to chop down a tree, and I will spend the first four sharpening the

axe”, I learn that if we want to achieve success, we must make full preparation

for it.

Only if we are well prepared, can we catch the opportunity which occurs

once in a while. In our daily life, we have to expand our horizon and lay a

solid foundation for success. It will be a long way to be successful thus we

have to accumulate our knowledge day by day. And we can’t achieve success in one

or two days. It will help us solve problems more efficiently if we have a broad

horizon. What’s more, opportunities always occur out of our expectation so we

have to make ourselves well prepared. If we prepared, we will catch up with it

whenever it comes up.

Opportunities give priorities to the people who make preparation for them.

What’s more, success goes along with opportunities. We should develop the

ability to solve problems in different and efficient ways therefore we can make

our way to success more easily.

When I was young,the body is not good at all,often catch a cold.Then I listen to my grandma said: exercise can make people healthy.

So I began to practice badminton,I practiced for several years,I in those years practice almost a cold,sick,no small trouble.

I remember once,my mother and I play.The start of the match,a mother of a fly ball,let me be taken by surprise,the first round is completed,I temporarily behind.Second I adjust the good mentality,the mothers weakness,defeated the mother.

After the game,I came back home the sequence of events listen to my father,her father laughed and said:transport functions bring health and happiness,you know,you can grow up.

Sports can bring people happiness and health.

Please come here to participate in the movement!

对我们来说保持健康很重要。但是你知道如何让我们保持健康吗?

首先，我们需要有健康的饮食习惯，我们可以吃很多蔬菜和新鲜水果，但我们最好少吃肉类。不同种类的食物是必要的，均衡饮食也是很重要的。

然后，每天做运动也可以帮助我们保持健康。我们可以在晚饭后散步，我们可以步行上学，而不是坐公共汽车，放学后，我们可以花几个小时打篮球或足球与我们的朋友。我们应该每天多做运动。

幸福是保持健康的另一种方法。当我们孤独或不快乐时，试着交朋友。这是让我们快乐的好方法。如果你经常微笑，你也会感到快乐。所以，要快乐健康。

We know that some of our students do not like eating lunch at school because the food isnt delicious. So they often go out of school to buy something they like to eat. But Im afraid its bad for their health to eat lunch outside because some of the food they buy isnt healthy enough.

In my opinion, if our schools want more students to be back and enjoy lunch inside, they should make the food more delicious, and also they should offer our students a larger choice of food as well.

我们知道，有些学生不喜欢在学校吃午饭，因为食物不好吃。所以他们经常去学校买他们喜欢吃的东西。但我担心他们的健康不好吃午饭外面，因为他们买的一些食物不够健康。

在我看来，如果我们的学校希望更多的学生回来享受午餐，他们应该使食物更美味，而且还应该提供我们的学生一个更大的选择的食物。

The Great Wall of China, also known in China as the Great Wall of 10,000, is an ancient Chinese fortification built from the end of the 14th century until the beginning of the 17th century, during the Ming Dynasty, in order to protect China from raids by the Mongols and Turkic tribes. It was preceded by several walls built since the 3rd century BC against the raids of nomadic tribes coming from areas now in modern day Mongolia and Manchuria.The Wall stretches over a formidable 6,350 km (3,946 miles), from Shanhai Pass on the Bohai Gulf in the east, at the limit between China proper and Manchuria, to Lop Nur in the southeastern portion of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.

中国的长城，在中国也被称为长城的10000，是中国古代的一个设防建造的第十四世纪末直到第十七世纪初，在明代，为了由蒙古人和突厥部落保护中国免受袭击。这是之前几个墙自公元前第三世纪的游牧部落来自地区现在的蒙古和满洲里的突袭建。壁延伸超过一个艰巨的6350公里(3946英里)，从东部渤海湾关山海，在中国和满洲里之间的界限，以罗布泊在新疆维吾尔族自治区东南部的部分。

The first major wall was built during the reign of the First Emperor, the main emperor of the short-lived Qin dynasty. This wall was not constructed as a single endeavor, but rather was created by the joining of several regional walls built by the Warring States. It was located much further north than the current Great Wall, and very little remains of it. A defensive wall on the northern border was built and maintained by several dynasties at different times in Chinese history. The Great Wall that can still be seen today was built during the Ming Dynasty, on a much larger scale and with longer lasting materials (solid stone used for the sides and the top of the Wall) than any wall that had been built before. The primary purpose of the wall was not to keep out people, who could scale the wall, but to insure that semi-nomadic people on the outside of the wall could not cross with their horses or return easily with stolen property.

第一主壁的第一个皇帝统治时期建造的，短命的秦朝的主要皇帝。这堵墙没有建造作为一个单一的努力，而是由几个区域的墙而建的战国加入了。这是位于更远的北部比目前的长城，很少遗骸它。在北部边境修建了防御城墙，在中国历史上不同时期几代保持。长城，今天依然可以看到建于明朝，一个更大的规模和较长的持久材料(固体石用于两侧和顶部的墙)比任何墙壁已建成之前。墙的主要目的是不让出来的人，谁能翻墙，但要保证在墙体的外侧半游牧民族，不能交叉的马匹或返回轻松赃物。

Three days ago we decided to visit the Great Wall.

三天以前我们就决定去参观长城。

Today we met at the bus stop early in the morning. When we were on the bus, we saw a lot of new buildings and new shops.Beijing was taller than before, I thought.

今天我们在公共汽车站遇到清晨。当我们上了公共汽车，我们看到很多新的建筑和新的店铺。北京是比以前高了，我想。

It took us about two hours to get to the Great Wall. When the Great Wall appeared in front of us, we couldn , t help thinking how wonderful it is! I wondered how the people in the past built it without modem machines. It is said you can see it from the space.I was proud of it.

我们花了约两个小时到长城。当长城出现在我们面前，我们也不禁思考，这是多么的美好!我想知道在过去，人们建造它没有现代机器。这是说你可以从太空中看到它。我是骄傲的。

After coming home I made up my mind to study harder than before. When I grow up, I will work hard to make our country more beautiful and stronger.

回家后我决心比以前更加努力学习。当我长大了，我会努力使我们的国家变得更加美丽和强大。

When we are little, we are eager to grow up, so that we can break free of parental discipline even leave them far. Since we were a little child, we have to be governed by teachers in school and endure parent’s ramble at home. These are our growing pains. Besides, study, friendship, sometimes campus romance may trouble us. However, as we grow up, we gradually find that things mentioned above are not pains at all. There are much more serious things brother us. For example, we may be less sensitive to the simple happiness and loss them gradually. It’s hard for us to laugh from our heart. Moreover, we are in the age that we are eager to grow up but afraid to grow up either. The ambivalence afflicts us a lot. However, no matter what happens in our growth, they are parts of our lives. We must accept them actively and do not let the pains prevent us from happiness.

小的时候，我们都渴望长大，以便能脱离父母的管束，甚至离他们远远的。自从孩提起，在学校我们就被老师管着，在家又得忍受父母的絮絮叨叨。这就是我们成长中的烦恼。此外，学习、友情，有时候甚至校园恋情都会来叨扰我们。但是，随着慢慢长大，我们逐渐发现以上这些根本称不上是成长的烦恼，还有很多更烦恼的事让我们纠结不已。例如，我们慢慢地对一些简单的快乐麻木了，于是就失去这些快乐了，我们变得很难发自内心地微笑了。还有，我们正处在渴望长大但又害怕长大的阶段，这种矛盾情绪折磨着我们。但是，不管在成长的过程中遭遇到什么，它们都是我们生活中的一部分，我们要乐观地接受，不让烦恼挤走快乐。
