In Chinese lunar calendar, July 7th is a romantic day for the young people,

which is called Qixi Festival that is also referred to the Chinese Valentine’s

Day. This festival has been the tradition and many young people celebrate it in

their own way. What’s more, the government listed Qixi Festival as the

intangible cultural heritage.

The origin of Qixi Festival is about a romantic story. It was said that in

the ancient time, a beautiful young lady who was an immortal came to the men’s

world. She fell in love with an ordinary man. But there was limitation between

immortal and human being, so they were separated by the lady’s parents. Their

love story moved a lot of people and the girl’s parents decided to let this

couple meet on July 7th every year.

Today, When Qixi Festival comes, the single ladies and men will try to ask

the one they like out. They want to have a date and show their likeness. So they

know each other’s heart if they say yes on that day. The romantic atmosphere can

be sensed everywhere and we are enjoying it.

The second time I go swimming, my father bought me a swim ring, I cant swim at the beginning, dad said to me: "you learn slowly, and dont be too worried." I hear the word of the father, through my efforts, I finally learned to swim.

I understand a truth: nothing in the world is difficult if you put your heart into it.

我叫***，今年八岁了，我是个男孩。我的头发黄黄的，耳朵大大的，鼻子扁扁的像三毛的鼻子一样。

我喜欢打篮球，踢足球，打乒乓球，我还喜欢捕鱼，我最喜欢的还是游泳。记得第一次游泳是在大海里。因为不会游，我喝了好多水，海水非常的咸。我不禁问爸爸：“海水怎么这么咸呀?”爸爸无奈知识不渊博，也没答上来。

第二次去游泳的时候，爸爸给我买了一个游泳圈，一开始我不会游，爸爸对我说：“你慢慢地学，别太着急了。”我就听了爸爸的话，经过我的不懈努力，我最后终于学会了游泳。

我明白了一个道理：世上无难事，只怕有心人。

Tammy was in a bad mood. Her parents had insisted that she was too young for a cell phone，no matter how much she begged. “But Sun and Alicia have cell phone!” Tammy cried. “If I don’t get one, I won’t be popular.”

“Having a cell phone doesn’t make you popular,” Tammy’s dad said. He is always saying stuff like this, As if he knew what it was to be in fourth grade. “Besides,” Dad said, “your school doesn’t allow cell phones, and you can call your friends from the house as soon you finish your homework.”

“But I can’t send them text messages,” Tammy relied.

“You can use email,” Mom said. “Cell phone are expensive. we want you to wait until you can pay for part of the cost before you got one.”

“By that time I won’t need one,”Tammy said. “Nobody will know who I am. I might as well moved to a desert island!”

“In that case, I’ll get you some empty bottles and some paper,” Dad said. “Bottle messages are much cooler than text messages.”

“Ugh,” sighed Tammy.

2.28星期二晴

今天是实习授课的第二天，我早早地准备好今天讲课的内容，但真的要上课时，我心里却不免有点紧张，因为昨天是我第一次上讲台用自己的方式去向学生传授知识啊!今天在上新课之前，我必须先要把昨天的内容

简单复习一下，这可正是对我教的好坏一个全面的检验......上课了，我表面上镇定自如地走上了讲台。一些常规的课堂程序之后，我开始了课堂复习步骤，出乎意料的是学生们反应迅速，对答如流。说真心话，看到这我心里真的感到无比喜悦。

晚上回到家，想起白天上课的情景，我感慨颇多，我想我真正体味到了劳动并享受着劳动后的成果的愉悦了。当然，在物欲横流的现代社会，这个观念也许会显得有些陈旧和俗套，但它却有着与生俱来的独特的古朴、风韵和精华。我们不能将快乐简单地理解为物质利益的获得和某种非精神意味的享受，快乐与否在于我们自身、我们的付出和我们的感受。由此我想到现在的学习，很长的一段时间，我都因没有进入理想的学府而怨天尤人，失却快乐。其实不断的学习便是一种快乐，奋进着永不放弃，需要不断体验快乐来支撑。不久的将来，我会成为一名人民教师，我会辛勤地工作，用心地去教书育人，我相信我一定能在平凡、艰苦中感受到欣慰和快乐。

3.3星期五小雨

今天是我实习的最后一天。因为课程安排在上午一、二两节，所以我得起早，偏偏天公不作美，下着小雨，清晨躺在床上的我真的不想起床，看看表，哎呀!快六点了，再不起来就会迟到了，可是由于昨晚备课到很晚加上心里一直惦记着今天要起早。所以整夜没睡好，夜里醒了好几次，真不想起床啊......然而想到那些学生们，我自问我有理由迟到吗?最后我终于没有给我的实习留下什么遗憾，事后我却想了许多，也明白了由立志到实现目标非常关键的一点就在于坚持。坚持对于我们来说都是再熟悉不过的字眼，可是真正把握住它的人却凤毛麟角，坚持需要毅力，需要对目标价值的深切期望和正确估价，有时甚至需要人格力量来支撑。事情的成功有时往往便在于我们能否坚持那关键的一步，走过去，前面就可能是另一番海阔天空，而习惯了坚持，久而久之，这一信念范畴的东西便会逐渐地融入我们的个性之中，成为一种素养，一种道德，现在的我们马上面临毕业，就要踏入社会了，或许一些人会认为到了现在我们可以不再努力，毕业后找份工作，那便是一生了。如果这样的话，那么我们就永远失去了成就某种事业的机会。事实上作为师范专业的学生，我们更应该树立正确的劳动观念和道德意识。为人师表，认真而严肃的从事自己所热爱的事业，愉快而充实的度过我们平凡的一生。、

尊敬的各位考官、各位评委老师：能参加今天的面试，并向各位考官和评委老师学习，我很高兴。同时通过这次面试也可以把我自己展现给大家，希望你们能记住我，下面我简单介绍我的基本情况。

我叫，今年岁。毕业于。我性格活泼开朗，大方热情，乐于助人，平时喜欢阅读、看书和上网流览信息。我曾经在学校参加过教学实习，在实习期间我严格按照正式老师的标准来要求自己，进行语文教学和班级管理。我深入学生，和他们相处融洽，和他们一起布置文明教室，开主题班会，组织大家开展篮球赛，参与诗歌朗诵比赛等，学习了语文教学的各种知识，掌握了一定的中学语文教学技巧，也对班主任工作和学生工作有了一定的认识，找到了自己的管理班级的一套方法。同时，在实习当中，身边教师无私奉献的精神和天真、求知若渴的学生们勤奋的学习态度深深地感染了我。我也深深体会到了作为一名“人类灵魂的工程师”的乐趣和重要意义，更加坚定了自己做一名教师的决心，成为一名教师也成了我的愿望。教师这个职业是神圣而伟大的，他要求教师不仅要有丰富的知识，还要有高尚的情操。为了成为一名教师，我在自己掌握了专业知识的基础上，不断拓展自己的各种能力，培养自己的爱心、责任心和耐心，创新能力、竞争能力和分析、处理问题的能力，并参与各种活动，广泛培养自己的兴趣爱好，并学有专长，做到除擅长写作和气排球外，还能会唱、会说、会讲。“学高仅能为师，身正方能为范”，在注重知识学习的同时我还注意培养自身的道德情操，自觉遵纪守法，遵守社会公德。使自己具有一名教育工作者应该具备的最起码的素养。如果，我通过了面试，成为该校教师队伍中的成员，我将继续虚心学习，努力工作，发挥自身所长，为教育事业贡献自己的一份力量，决不辜负“人类灵魂的工程师”这个光荣的称号。

比起我的竞争对手在年龄上我已不再有优势，但是我比他们更多了一份对孩子的爱心、耐心和责任心，更多了一份成熟和自信。教师这个职业是神圣而伟大的，他要求教师不仅要有丰富的知识，还要有高尚的.情操。因此，在读师范时，我就十分注重自身的全面发展，广泛地培养自己的兴趣爱好，并学有专长，做到除擅长绘画和书法外，还能会唱、会说、会讲。“学高仅能为师，身正方能为范”，在注重知识学习的同时我还注意培养自己高尚的道德情操，自觉遵纪守法，遵守社会公德，没有不良嗜好和行为。我想这些都是一名教育工作者应该具备的最起码的素养。

我叫陆晴雯，今年11岁，在闵行区浦江二小读五年级。我有一张红扑扑、总是面带微笑的小脸蛋；有一双圆溜溜的大眼睛，就是有一点点近视，大概是我从小喜欢看书的缘故吧。我的口号是：只要坚持不懈地努力，就会成功！

我活泼大方、性格外向、有点自信、有点好动。我从小就是一个听话懂事的孩子，在家从不让父母操心；在学校我是老师们的好帮手，每个星期一我要负责主持大队部的升旗仪式。课堂上，我专心听讲，积极思考，回答老师的提问，课后能认真及时地完成老师布置的作业。所以每年被学校评为 "优秀少先队员" 。

不过我有时也要犯点小错误，但我会敢于承认错误，检讨自己。

我喜欢体育如：打羽毛球、乒乓球、踢毽子……在学校举行的运动会上获得年级组女子短跑第二名。

我曾在闵行区第四届、第五届《小学生拼音报》知识竞赛中分别获得三等奖和二等奖；现已通过上海市通用外语水平二星级等级考试 ；在学校组织的数学竞赛中，我获得了二等奖；在学校组织的语文知识竞赛中，获得了一等奖的好成绩；我明白这些荣誉的背后凝聚了家长和老师的关怀，还有我个人不懈的努力。我更明白这些荣誉只能代表过去的辉煌，我要仰望更高更远的目标。我经常牢记妈妈的教导：无论得到什么荣誉，都不能骄傲。无论碰到什么困难，都不能泄气。

在老师和父母的循循善诱下，我懂得了困难像弹簧，你弱它就强，你强它就弱。所以，我努力地做一个坚强的小小女强人。

我们小学生应该德、智、体、美、劳全面发展。我知道作为一个小学生首先要有良好的思想品德，所以我时时刻刻都严格地要求自己，在社会上做个好少年，在家尊老爱幼，孝敬父母，在校时时处处争做同学们的榜样。

在生活中我是个爱整洁、爱劳动的好孩子。现在，我学会了洗碗、拖地、泡开水、叠被子……每当父母不在家的时候，我觉得自己就是家中的女主人。

我还喜欢唱歌、跳舞。只要爸爸会唱的歌，我会一直缠着他，让他教我。有时还会听着CD学着唱、小屁鼓还会扭起来呢。妈妈看着笑着说我是个小妖怪！我现在在学弹琵琶，已经考四级了。

我最喜欢的俗语是：没有最好，只有更好。

我想，蜜蜂只有辛勤采蜜，才能酿出甜美的蜜糖，雄鹰只有勇敢地搏击风雨，才能使自己的翅膀更加坚强有力。我要实现自己每一个梦想，也必须像蜜蜂那样付出辛勤的劳动，必须像雄鹰那样奋勇拼搏！

我的自我介绍就是这样了，一个普通的小学生。但我相信，在这群星催璨的浦江二小中，其中最亮最亮的那颗星就是我。

Dear Sir,

I am working on a new project which is called A Survey of New Industry in the Maywood District. According to the design of our district, we need information about firms that have recently moved into this area.

Three points are specially important to the project. The first one is the training schemes for school leavers. The second one is about the transport arrangements to overcome poor road and rail links in this district. The third is the plans for expansion.

Any other information will be useful, but those points are the ones with which I most need your help.

I am enclosing an information form for you to fill in. I hope you can post it to us as soon as possible. I apologize for adding to your work with this request, but I do hope that you will feel able to assist me.

Teachers Day, September 10th, is a national teachers festival in China. It is celebrated since 1985. It expresses respects to the labors and contributions of teachers to the Chinese society.

我，姓李名飞阳，九岁已有余，十岁尚不足。语文老师还戏说我什么“大风起兮云飞扬”，也许是爸爸把这个“阳”字起别了的缘故吧。我丝毫没有飞起来的感觉，倒觉得自己平凡得如一粒沙子，是属于扎在草堆里找不到的那种料。

我个子不高，瘦得像一根筷子，属于营养不良型。只有声音还撑体面，唱起歌来洪亮如钟，气势非凡。颇有余音绕梁之势，妈妈常跟人说，我家阳阳吃的饭全长在声音上了，嘿嘿，反正也没有白吃，至少也算派上用场了。管它呢！还没有学到多少知识，那个高高的鼻梁上就架起了一副“望远镜”，爷爷总私心地说我是未来的“学者”，学者不学者，难道我自己还不清楚吗？只是由于长时间受眼镜的.“压迫”，本来不大的眼睛变成了“一线天”。鼻梁被压得差点和嘴巴“拥抱”，这可已成为不争的事实。

我很爱讲笑话，每次讲笑话时，总会有许多铁杆听众，也算“粉丝”吧？每讲完一段笑话，他们准会笑得前俯后仰，不是笑得肚子痛，就是笑得爬在板凳上，直不起腰来，有的甚至干脆爬在地上，打起滚来。有一次，一个小伙伴听完我的笑话，一下子笑得坐在地上，正巧那儿有一滩水，等他反应过来时，裤子已经湿透了，我们又开始笑他尿裤子了。

啥？你问我有没有爱好？那还用说，可以说是五花八门、琳琅满目，嘻嘻，言重了吧。不过要说我最大的爱好嘛，还得数看书了。有这么一次，爸爸在看电视上的足球赛，我说想去奶奶家，爸爸点了点头，算是同意了。我走进厕所，本想方便一下就去的，没想到厕所里放着我最爱看的《儿童文学》，哇，多好的机会啊！真是天助我也。平时爸爸怕我眼睛近视严重，总是防着我，今天他看球赛我看书，正好两不误，于是我就直接坐在马桶上，津津有味地看了起来。去奶奶家的事早被抛到九霄云外了。也不知过了多久，听见爸爸在给奶奶打电话，好像还提到了我。后来又听到爸爸给妈妈和三姨她们一个个打电话，不知在说着什么，好像还有点急，紧接着听见爸爸下楼的声音。管那么多干啥，机不可失，时不再来，看书要紧。这可是个新的发现啊！以后看书就到这儿来，神不知鬼不觉的，没人打扰，多清静呀！

大约一小时左右吧，爸爸回来了，我不小心被文中的故事惹得笑出了声，爸爸听见了厕所里的声音，打开门一看，见我正坐在马桶上看书，当时就气得火冒三丈，骂我没有去奶奶家，害得他们到处找我，还差点儿报了警，我一看大事不妙，就赶忙向爸爸认错。“你一个大活人就没有发现娃没有出门吗？”还是妈妈好，多亏妈妈帮我解围，爸爸才算没有动手，唉，好险啊……

这就是我，一个一肚子笑话，看书成瘾的小男孩。

Children’s education has been concerned by the public all the time. As they

are the future and will decide a country’s destiny, so the environment matters

so much to them. Most parents expect the school can provide the children a good

learning environment and ignore the importance of home education.

School provides the children a direct stage to receive education. In the

school, the teachers pass knowledge and educate them the right value. The

children know their task and as everybody around them focus the attention on

study, so they are affected by each other and have the strong desire to

learn.

Home education is easy to be ignored by most parents, they think it is the

teachers’ duty to educate children. Actually, most criminal teenagers have

family issues. Parents haven’t set good example for the kids. Sometimes they are

even the trouble makers. Without love, teenagers won’t grow up as the strong

people.

Both school and family environment are important for the children, and they

need to be nurtured with the good examples and learn knowledge.

New York is the first big city in America. It is the world’s commercial

center and there are many sites that attract people from all over the world to

take a visit. One of the famous sites is the Statue of Liberty. Everybody knows

this great site and it has become the symbol of New York.

The Statue of Liberty stands on an island of the New York City harbor. It

is the tallest building ever built. When people get there, they will see a woman

holding a torch of fire. In her feet, people can see the chains that are broken,

which means she gets away from the restrictions and chases for freedom. There is

a book on her right hand, which is the Declaration of Independence.

The complete name of this statue is Liberty Enlightening the World. It is

the present from French people to American people. The meaning of friendship and

freedom are shared by both countries. Today, the meaning of the Statue of

Liberty is shared by the world. People can feel the peace when they see this

image.

I have rested for a week。 I began to feel bored。 So I went out with my friends。 They are my best friends in the middle school。 We didn’t go to someplace special。 We just saw the other。 We had lunch together。 While we were having lunch， we were still talking about the new school and new friends。 Yes! A year later， we have grown riper。 And we learned much more things and got new life。 We haven’t enough time to play， to waste and to lose the way。 We only have two years。 Two years to go， we will get the real life which belongs to us。

Dear Ms. Reinhart,

I am terribly sorry that I failed to arrive at BLCU last Friday. I hope that this did not mess you up completely, although I know that you had already made some special arrangements for my visit with you parents and friends. I am very sorry about all that. I am sure you will be sympathetic, however, when I tell you that my father is dangerously ill in hospital, and that I found it impossible to leave for the visit when he is in this state.

My father was working very hard on his project on protecting the environment. I know the project has come to a very important stage. He and his assistants did not take regular rest for three weeks. Last night, my father had a heart attack and was soon sent to the hospital. The doctor said my father was in a very serious situation, and, he might need an operation.

24 hours have passed. Nothing has changed. I have to stay at the hospital. I will let you know if there is any good news.

I am sorry again and look forward to seeing you soon.

Yours sincerely,

Tom Williams

On that day, there are plenty of celebrations holding throughout the country, from the central government to the general people. And public places, including big squares, parks are decorated in festive theme. In recent years, the national holiday means the golden week as well, which is a short holiday that all people expect to. With the improvement of living standards, people have more money and desire to travel and the golden week is a good chance for them. Besides, for those people who would not go out, it’s a good time to have a good rest as well. Therefore, the national day means a lot to the Chinese.

、my favorite city is ShanghaiShanghai is Chinas most comprehensive industrial and commercial city, ranking the first in population and population density. As a tourist city, it attracts travelers from both home and abroad by its commercial activity rather than scenic beauty. Shanghai is situated on the bank of the Yangtze River Delta, with East River in the east and Hangzhou delta in the south. Housing a population of over 16 million at present, it was once a small town supported by fishing and weaving before the first Opium War.

Late in 1990, the central government started developing the area, and has since became the well-known booming metropolis city. Dressing in Shanghai is casual but modest. Bring along some heavy clothing for the winter whereas light clothing is adequate during summer. Visitors to China are required to fill in a health declaration form at the Customs. Medical facilities are generally adequate in Shanghai. It is advisable to drink only boiled and bottled water。

Every May in Chinese lunar calendar is Dragon Boat Festival, do you know anything about it? Let me speak for you.

Once upon a time, there was a patriotic poet Qu Yuan, once he went to Beijing to go to work, see a decline of state variable, then vote Miluo River to commit suicide. Before he died, he wrote a poem. People in order to commemorate the patriotic poet, the annual Lunar New Year in May at the beginning of a dragon boat festival.

The main contents of the Dragon Boat Festival is the dragon boat racing, zongzi.

Dragon boat racing scene is very lively, crowded shore. Just listen to the sound of gunfire, paddled boat people desperately, but the river is full of cheering.

Rice dumplings wrapped in bamboo leaves, is for filling, with glutinous rice. When the package is very sticky, not professionals, but the package is not good!

According to legend, the dragon boat race is to salvage the Miluo River to die of the patriotic poet Qu Yuan. Threw rice dumplings into the river, is to let the fish and shrimp to eat, not eat Qu Yuans body.

Friendship is essential for the existence of society. People live in

communities and work in co-operation so that they could protect themselves from

nature. The successful accomplishment of any task calls for support from many

people. It’s the friends who are willing to help us. Friendship is a guarantee

of harmonious efforts.

In the widest sense, all people are friends. People live in a common

society, co-operating and helping each other directly or indirectly all the

time. From this respective, anyone could be a friend of others to a certain

degree. And it’s this kind of friendship that makes society harmonious though

competition is universal.

A friend in need is a friend indeed. Unfortunately, people are so complex

in the modern society due to various reasons. Sometimes, we don’t really know

who are our real friends. Adversity is the touchstone of friendship. That is to

say, in hard times, it is easy for us to test whether the friendship is ture or

not. No matter what happens, a true friend will never leave you alone and will

always be with you.
