小时候，总听妈妈给我讲屈原因为楚平王而投汨罗江，从此便有了端午节，我也似懂非懂地知道了：原来端午节是由屈原而产生的。

When I was a child, my mother told me to listen to Qu Yuan because Chuping Wang and the Miluo River, then have the Dragon Boat Festival, I also vaguely know that the Dragon Boat Festival was produced by Qu Yuan.

相传屈原是一个爱国诗人，投江后，汨罗江畔的百姓们纷纷去打捞屈原的尸体，因此有了赛龙舟的习俗;百姓们把饭团等投入江中，因此有了吃棕子的习俗，百姓们把兄雄黄酒倒入江中，因此有了喝雄黄酒的习俗。

Legend has it that Qu Yuan is a patriotic poet, Jiang River, Miluo people have to recover Qu Yuans body, so there is the custom of the dragon boat race; people have the balls and into the river, so there is the custom of eating zongzi, people are the brother of wine poured into the river, so have a drink realgar wine the custom.

记得前不久，我还了南湖边，看龙舟竞渡，那儿人山人海，一派热闹的景象，南湖边上围满了人，不用说他们就是来看龙舟竞赛的，只见不远处湖面上，停泊着大大小小的的龙舟，龙舟选手们严阵以待，不过一会儿就上了各自的龙舟，他们一个个精神抖擞，似乎真的是要打捞屈原。一眨眼的工夫，他们就开始了，随着“嘿咻嘿咻”的口号声。他们有节奏地划起龙舟，这使我不禁想象起了当时百姓们纷纷去打捞屈原时的情景……

I remember not long ago, I also see the South Lake, dragon boat races, there are huge crowds of people, a lively scene, South Lake surrounded with people, they see the dragon boat race is needless to say, not far from the lake park, large and small dragon boat, Dragon Boat athletes embattled, but soon on the boat, they all seem to be in fine fig, really want to salvage Qu Yuan. In a blink of an eye, they began, with the slogan "sex.". They have a rhythm to draw from the dragon boat, which I imagine the people at that time have to retrieve his time......

When it comes to the 5th day of the fifth month of the Chinese lunar calendar, you will think of Dragon Boat Festival and zongzi. Do you know the origin of Dragon Boat Festival? Let me tell you something about it.

Qu Yuan, a doctor in the state of Chu, had always loved the country, but his patriotic heart was unfairly treated by Zi Lan and Jin Shang. In the early May ad 278, five, Qu Yuan was patriotic and angry, holding a big stone, jumping into the Miluo River and suicidal. The people of the state of Chu were all sorrowful. They all rowed a boat to save Qu Yuan. But a vast ocean, where there was Qu Yuans shadow, the gang had been in the Miluo river for half a day, and had no choice but to find Qu Yuan corpse. The bamboo tube in Steamed Rice cast the hope that the fish in the water is not the original body of gnawing humiliation. After that, every year on the 5th day of the fifth month of the Chinese lunar calendar, the local people rowed the rice into the river in the bamboo tube, and later, the rice in the bamboo tube was changed to zongzi.

On the annual Dragon Boat Festival, people pack zongzi, buy zongzi and eat zongzi. The shape of zongzi is very special, neither square nor round. The zongzi is wrapped with green rice dumplings wrapped in glutinous rice and jujube. The color and appearance of the dumplings are very good. The taste of the dumplings is unique. It is a unique taste of the zongzi. It is both a delicacy of summer and an appetizing food, and a good nourishing nourishing product.

Whenever I eat zongzi, I think of Qu Yuans patriotism.

Many people like to keep a kind of annimal as a pet ,such as dogs,cats,birds,and so on .They put so great enthusiasm on them that some pets are treated like their family members.

A good relationship between people and pets can be very comfortable.They are loyal audiences of you ,while you have something cant tell any one else.They occuppy the loneliness ,cure your pains,make anxious hearts return to peace and innocence ,some pets even can help to cure some mental disease.Thats the advantages of keeping an pet.

However ,pets are often expensive,to feed them would even cost more .Too much money spend on pets are more or less a little improper while there are so many starving people in this nation.

Some dangerous pets are a menace to their owners ,even a dog attack people sometimes,things could be worse if they carrying some fatal virus.Thats the disadvantages of keeping a pet.

Summer can be very hot in southern Taiwan where the temperature usually goes up to 32"C or more. Because of the heat it is a trying experience to go to school or do anything else in a place that is not air-conditioned. Also because of this I stay at home most of the time during the summer vacation and occasionally go to the beach to plunge myself into the cool water as a way to keep my body less sticky. Actually I like swimming think nothing is more refreshing than a swim. In the summer vacation that has ended I went swimming many times with my classmates we all had a good time.

今天是端午节，是我国的传统节日。

今天早晨，妈妈早早的就起床了，她去了菜市场，买回来一些粽叶、肉、蜜枣、和糯米。妈妈一回到家，先把粽叶用开水烫一下，然后把蜜枣、肉和糯米放在一个锅里，再把一些酱油倒入锅里，紧接着把它们拌在一起，馅便做好了，这些准备工作做好之后，妈妈便开始包粽子了。只见妈妈不慌不忙的拿起几片粽叶，圈成一个类似圆锥的形状，接着放一些馅在里面，然后再用一片粽叶包起来，最后用一根线扎起来，这样，一个粽子便包好了。我学着妈妈的样子也包起粽子来。粽子包好了，妈妈立刻把粽子放在锅里煮，过了不久，粽子煮好了，妈妈拿起一只粽子，剥开粽叶，细细地品尝，我看着妈妈脸上的表情，忍不住笑了，妈妈见了，被我搞得丈二和尚——摸不着头脑，但看我开心的样子也笑了。

这一天，人们不光吃粽子，还赛龙舟，插艾青……这都是过端午节的风俗习惯，据说都是为了纪念爱国英雄屈原的。

We need to improve our English skills in each of four areas.

The first one is listening skills . I think doing lots of listening practice is a great way to improve listening skills. Maybe you could buy some English tapes or borrow your teacher’s tapes to listen .

The second on is speaking skills. How can we practice our spoken English ? I think the first and the most important thing is to believe yourself . Your should often encourage yourself , then you can join an English –language club and make lots of conversations with you partner . I think it can help a lot.

The third one is reading skills. I think we should do more reading in our free time. If you have any problems when you are reading , you’d better ask others tof help.

The last one is wring skills. It’s very important for us to learn English . I think keeping a diary in Engish is the best way to improve your writing skills. You should practice writing notes or letters every day, or you could find a pen pal . I think it sounds like a very interesting way to practice writing. And don’t be afraid of making mistakes.

I hope all these will be helpul to you , good luck !

Most Chinese students have difficulties in learning English. The difficulties vary so much from person to person that it is difficult to cite here in a few words. Some may have problems in reading. Others may have trouble in writing. I also had problems in English learning, but my difficulty seemed to lie in listening. For example, when tested for listening comprehension, I couldnt understand a single sentence, let alone a passage of medium level.

In order to overcome the difficulty in my English learning, I made great efforts to find the key to the problem. I consulted my teacher and found out that I merely didnt have enough time to practice listening. So I bought a tape recorder and listened to it at least two hours a day. In addition, I listened to "Special English" on VOA. I also went out of my way to speak to foreigners on the campus whenever we meet so that I could have the chance to listen to the native speakers. After half a years hard work, I could get 70% of the questions correct in listening comprehension tests.

I own my success to my English teacher. It is him who tells me the correct way to learn English. It is him who always encourages me when I encounter difficulties and feel disappointed.

为了克服困难在我的英语学习,我努力找到问题的关键。我咨询我的老师发现我只是没有足够的时间来练习听力。所以我买了一个录音机,听了一天至少两个小时。另外,我听美国之音特别英语”。我也出去和外国人说话校园时我们见面,这样我就可以有机会听母语。经过半年的努力,我可以得到70%的问题正确的听力测试。

我拥有我的成功归功于我的英语老师。这是他告诉我学英语的正确方法。他总是鼓励我当我遇到困难,感到失望。

我这个女孩没什么爱好，即使上网也很少玩游戏。不过，我可是微博达人，现在已经有粉丝将近两百人了，可是有不少人羡慕呢。

星期六晚上，我照例打开微博，发现居然有人给我写私信!也许是我取“我来帮助你”的网名的缘故，经常有人找我帮忙，但我还是第一次收到信!我打开一看，大致内容是这样的：

“我上小学三年级了，三年以来一直都是同一个同桌，最近他老是影响我，我因该怎么办呢?”

看到这封信，我不禁微微一颤——自己也是这样的呀!同桌总是影响我，虽然我的学习成绩没有下降，但听课效率明显不够好。

我怀着一颗真挚的心，带着自己的感情，回复给了她：

“首先感谢你如此信任我，从你的信中我可以看出你一定是个乖巧的孩子，你的同桌可能学习不好，而且调皮，但请你多多包容。还有，你知道老师为什么一直让他做你的同桌吗?那是因为老师信任你，我们不能辜负老师的期望，是吗?你可以多帮助同桌，让他也体会到学习的乐趣，让他爱上学习，你说对吗?”

农历五月初五，是中国民间的传统节日——端午节，它是中华民族古老的传统节日之一。端午也称端五，端阳。此外，端午节还有许多别称，如：午日节、重五节，五月节、浴兰节、女儿节，天中节、地腊、诗人节、龙日等等。虽然名称不同，但总体上说，各地人民过节的习俗还是同多于异的。

过端午节，是中国人二千多年来的传统习惯，由于地域广大，民族众多，加上许多故事传说，于是不仅产生了众多相异的节名，而且各地也有着不尽相同的习俗。其内容主要有：女儿回娘家，挂钟馗像，迎鬼船、躲午，帖午叶符，悬挂菖蒲、艾草，游百病，佩香囊，备牲醴,赛龙舟，比武，击球，荡秋千，给小孩涂雄黄，饮用雄黄酒、菖蒲酒，吃五毒饼、咸蛋、粽子和时令鲜果等，除了有迷信色彩的活动渐已消失外，其余至今流传中国各地及邻近诸国。有些活动，如赛龙舟等，已得到新的发展，突破了时间、地域界线，成为了国际性的体育赛事。

关于端午节的由来，说法甚多，诸如：纪念屈原说;纪念伍子胥说 ;纪念曹娥说;起于三代夏至节说;恶月恶日驱避说，吴月民族图腾祭说等等。以上各说，各本其源。据学者闻一多先生的《端午考》和《端午的历史教育》列举的百余条古籍记载及专家考古考证，端午的起源，是中国古代南方吴越民族举行图腾祭的节日，比屈原更早。但千百年来，屈原的爱国精神和感人诗辞，已广泛深入人心，故人们“惜而哀之，世论其辞，以相传焉”，因此，纪念屈原之说，影响最广最深，占据主流地位。在民俗文化领域，中国民众把端午节的龙舟竞渡和吃粽子等，都与纪念屈原联系在一起。

时至今日，端午节仍是中国人民中一个十分盛行的隆重节日
