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。

今天我度过了一个快乐的端午节。

We were sitting in the classroom quietly, waiting for the invigilator. We

were anxious to get the examination paper and see whether it was easy or

difficult.

The invigilator came into the classroom. He first looked around.

Then he counted the papers. We could only hear the papersfricative. I had a

look at my watch. We would be examined in eight minutes. I felt a bit nervous. I

thought to myself,"Will the exam be easy or difficult? Will the last question be

very hard for me to work out?"The invigilator began to deliver us the papers. I

had been ready. As soon as I got the paper, I began to write quickly. At this,

the invigilator said loudly,"You cant write until the bell rings".I felt sorry

for that. I watched the hands of the clock and thought hard. I counted

quietly,"four minutes, three minutes, two minutes,thirty seconds, twenty-five

seconds""Ding" The bell rang. We picked up our pens and began to write

quietly.

What a long time we had been waiting!

what s your plan for dragon boat festival?

As a chinese, I was really ashamed of having a little knowledge of dragon boat festival. Perhaps I was born in northern city, though my city is nearby sea, it has been built a U port which I can only see cargo ships and can t see the sweeping ocean. So I have never see the dragon boat contest since I was born. So the dragon boat festival is just a holiday for eating Zong Zi . My mother made Zong Zi when I was a child. Because there was no supermarket, we couldn t buy finished product from market. However, now, we can buy anything in supermarket, so my mother didn t make them anymore. The boat festival began to fade out my mind.

In reality, young people began to have a bug to celebrate foreign festivals, such as Christams, Saint Valentine s day, April Fool s Day, some people also celebrate Easter in church. Talk about Dragon boat festival, it s the same as some foreign conventional festivals, such as Witch s Day in Czech. People burned the witch s puppet so as to welcome spring. Some people are willing to celebrate foreign festivals because they like alien culture. And vice versa, foreigners who like China also concern about Chinese traditional culture.

After new holiday regulation, we have three holidays during the dragon boat festival. So many people will choose this time to travel. People who lived in Xiamen are able to visit Xiapu or Wu Yi mountain, these tourist attractions are in Fujian province,which is suit a short tirp. but I d like to stay at home for my decorate painting. I decide to draw two canvases about Christmas, it s really a big project. Then I ll hang them on the new house wall. I must start it now, or I can t finish them before Christmas eve. But I preceive it s a little difficult to draw them in such a hot season.

I never thought ourFriendshipcould be so long. We are classmates, not only are still friends. We was like peas and carrots, no words do not say, learn from each other, to long for short.

Name is ling-ling jin, she is my good friend, she is fat, black hair like a black waterfall down vertically, a pair is eyes, his mouth with a knife. She commanded, considerate, in her heart is how to think how to say, serious and responsible. Speak is a disadvantage, but she is hurt others self-esteem.

We have two years of friendship, can be said to be my friend stay together life learning the longest time of friends. But sometimes, the cup of friendship, we sometimes jokes, but dont to heart. Until that time, we continue to cold for three days, meet dont say "hello", also no longer together, become a stranger, with indifference. Several times we all want to apologize, to lose me, she in and out of a person, very lonely, she and I justdont willing to give up this friendship. After days of ideological struggle, I decided to be friends, although the fault is not in me, we still made up. I often think: true friendship is to pass the test. From now on, we cherish the friendship

True friendship, it is purity transparent ice and snow, the cold the unity, the more tight.

True friendship is a clear spring water, not only to the column into the withered life vitality, but also can wash the stain of the mind

Original all stronger after the test of friendship, will never be apart.

我从来都没想过我们的友谊会如此长。我们不仅是同学，还是好朋友。我们形影不离，无话不说，相互学习，以长补短。

她是我的好朋友，叫金玲玲，她微胖，乌黑的头发像黑色的瀑布垂直下来，一双水灵灵是眼睛，嘴边有一条刀痕。她心直口快，体谅别人，在她心里是怎样想就怎样说，认真负责。不过她有个缺点，就是有是说话伤别人的自尊。

我们已两年的友谊，可以说是我的朋友当中待在一起生活学习最长时间的朋友。但有时，友谊之杯也会裂，我们有时开玩笑，但都没放在心上。直到那一次，我们持续三天冷漠，见面也不打招呼，也不再形影不离，成为陌生人，以冷漠相待。有好几次我们都想道歉，失去我以后，她进进出出都一个人，很孤独，我和她都舍不得放下这段友谊。经过几天的思想斗争，我决定和好，虽然错不在于我，我们还是和好如初。我经常想：真诚的友谊是要经过考验的吧。从此，我们更加珍惜这个友谊

真正的友谊，是冰雪纯洁透明，越冷越团结得越紧。

真正的友谊，是一涧清澈的泉水，不但给即将枯萎的生命柱入活力，而且还能洗涤心灵的污点

原天下所有人的友谊经过考验之后更加坚固，永不垮。

农历五月初五就是端午节了，家家户户都要包粽子，还有有趣的划龙舟比赛呢!奶奶在家已经煮好了香喷喷的粽子，打开锅盖满屋都飘着粽子的清香，让我闻得口水直流个不停。我迫不及待地剥开粽子叶津津有味的吃了起来，真是回味无穷呀!

The Dragon Boat Festival is on the fifth day of may in the lunar calendar.

Every family needs to make zongzi. There are also interesting dragon boat races!

Grandma has cooked delicious zongzi at home. When she opened the pot cover, the

fragrance of zongzi was floating all over the house, making my mouth water

continuously. I cant wait to peel off the zongzi leaf and eat it with relish.

Its really memorable!

吃完粽子后，爸爸带我去看划龙舟比赛，这里人山人海，车水马龙的可热闹了!比赛开始了，各个队伍都蓄势待发，随着一阵枪声一条条龙舟飞快地划过水面，犹如一支支箭向前飞去。在场的观众们兴奋喊道着加油加油，在为参赛者加油鼓励，参赛者们听了心里充满了信心使劲地划桨，水花到处飞溅。各条龙舟你追我赶的，最后，落后的一号终于追上了遥遥领先的二号第一个冲过了终点，观众们不禁欢呼起来，到处都是一片欢乐的海洋。啊!这真是我最难忘的一天了。

are lots of people here, and the traffic is very busy! The race started, and

every team is ready to go. With a burst of gunfire, each dragon boat flies

across the water like an arrow. The audience cheered and shouted, cheering and

strove hard to paddle, and the water splashed everywhere. Each dragon boat

chased after each other. At last, the laggard No. 1 finally caught up with the

far ahead No. 2. The audience couldnt help cheering. There was a sea of joy

everywhere. Ah! This is the most unforgettable day for me.

还有许许多多的传统节日也是和端午节一样有趣的，我们要一起保护中国的传统节日。

There are also many traditional festivals as interesting as Dragon Boat

Festival. We should protect Chinese traditional festivals together.

端午节是我国的传统节日，每当这个时候，各家各户都包好了粽子，准备那一天吃得饱饱的。还有一首端午节的儿歌：“五月五，是端阳，插艾叶，戴香囊，吃粽子，洒白糖，龙船下水喜洋洋”。怎么样，这首儿歌好听吧。

The Dragon Boat Festival is a traditional festival in China, whenever this time, families are a good package dumplings, ready for the day well fed. There is a Dragon Boat Festival Songs: "in May five, is the Dragon Boat Festival, inserted Artemsia argyi, wearing sachet, eating dumplings, sprinkle with sugar, dragon boat launching radiant". Well, this song pleasant to hear.

端午又称“重五”，所以很多习俗都和“五”这个数字有关联。而且要用红、黄、蓝、白、黑五色丝线系在儿童的脖子、手腕或者足踝，称为长命缕。

The Dragon Boat Festival is also called "the five", so a lot of custom and the number five is related to. But to use red, yellow, blue, white, black colored silk thread in the childs neck, wrist or ankle, called a long thread.

端午节的来历/习俗都很多，说也说不完。其中有一个来历是这样的，古代有个诗人叫屈原，他受到坏人的诬陷，为了证明自己是清白的，他投汨罗江而死，主张爱国主义。后来的人们赛龙舟是为了捞救他，投粽子是为了让鱼虾吃饱，不去吃屈原的遗体。

Liuzhou Dragon Boat Festival is: early in the morning, we go to buy mugwort and calamus hung on the door, and then paste the red paper. My grandmother would pack dumplings, zongzi materials are beans, chestnut, pork. Tastes good!

说了这么多，相信大家都了解端午节了吧。

Said so much, I believe we all know the Dragon Boat Festival.

My English Study

How time flies! My three-year middle school life will be over soon。 Looking

back， I have many memories of my English study。

When I entered the middle school， I had so many difficulties with my

English。 I was not able to understand the teacher in class， and I couldn’t

master the words and phrases。 For a time I wanted to give it up。 Later， with the

help of the teacher and my classmates， I listened to the teacher carefully in

class， kept on reading English every day and spoke as much as possible。 Step by

step I made great progress in English。

In a word， only when you develop interest in studying English can you learn

it well。

This morning, my father took me to school by bike. I sat at the back of the bike, eating abanana. After I ate it up, I threw the skin onto the street randomly. No sooner had I done thisthan I realized that I had done something bad to our environment. And maybe someone wouldstep on it and tumbleover. I must pick it up. Thinking of these, I asked father to stop. I jumpedoffthe bike and ran back to pick up the banana skin and threw it into a roadside dustbin. Seeingthis, father praised me and I felt very happy.

In future I will protect the surroundings more consciously and think more about others.

上学路上

今天早晨，爸爸骑车带我去上学。我坐在后车座上，吃着香蕉。吃完后，我顺手将香蕉皮扔到了街上。我马上意识到我的所作所为破坏了我们的环境，或许有人会踩在上面而跌倒，我必须把它拾起来。想到这些，我让爸爸停车。我跳下自行车，跑回去拾起香蕉皮，并扔到了路边的垃圾箱里。看到这些，爸爸表扬了我。我感到很高兴。

将来我要更自觉地保护周围的环境，更多地为他人着想。

Every time when the teachers ask us some questions, he doesnt often put up his hand.He lowers his head in order not to meet the teachers eyes,because hes afraid and shy.But he knows every answers.每次当老师提问的时候，他经常不举手。他把头低下为了不跟老师目光相遇，因为他害怕、害羞。但是他知道每一个问题的答案。

Little by little, he begins to answer the questions in class, and takes part in the activities with us.He wants to challenge himself.If you are as shy as him, please follow him.Teachers are not tigers, but they are our best friends in school.渐渐地，他开始在课堂上回答问题了，而且还积极参加同学们的集体活动。他想要自我挑战。如果你跟他一样害羞，就像他那样做吧。老师不是老虎，而是我们在学校最好的朋友。

Lets be brave. Dont be shy any more!让我们勇敢起来，不在害羞!

Along the way of the company of friends, no friends, no today of I, really thank you friends support, maybe well separate, but the fate.

一个人的一生，有许许多多的朋友。如果失去了朋友，将会失去多少生活乐趣呀!现在我们马上要分开了，和我俩个好友的交往也会少了，所以想写写她们。

黄婷慧：一晃俩年过去了，我们已经认识了俩年了。记得当初，你转到我们班。由于你视力不好跟我坐。老师写在黑板的字你看不清，你时常问我，我也耐心的告诉你，就这样我们建立深厚的友谊。我们一起笑过，一起哭过，吵过架生过气，还一起搞恶做据。和你在一起的点点滴滴，我永远也不回忘记。

易媱：在我的印象中你的脾气很好，也是我们班名字改的最多的一个。我们在一起中会闹脾气。有时候看到你脸上的肉，我就会跑过去捏你的脸，你总是温柔的一笑，这笑容中包括的有友谊。

一路上都有朋友的陪伴，没有朋友就没有今天的我，真的感谢朋友分支持，也许我们会分开，但是缘分。

looking rapidly through stacks of papers, i uncovered hers. it read, "i resolve not to let little things upset me. "

生活中，每个人都会遇到各种各样的困难，但每个人面对困难都有不同的选择，有的迎难而上，有的知难而退。

In life, everyone will encounter all sorts of difficulties, but everyone in the face of difficulties have different choices, some difficulties, some place.

记得前几天，我做数学课外练习上面的一道思考题。那道题目很难，我做了好几遍怎么也做不对，于是，我就放弃了这道题目。突然，妈妈走了过来，问我为什么不做我说：“太难了，我不会做!”妈妈跟我讲了一个故事。外国有位撑杆跳运动员，叫布勃卡，他曾经创造过35次世界纪录，迄今还没人打破。他以前在训练时，也遇到过困难，总是跳不过去。那段时间里，他苦恼过、沮丧过，甚至怀疑自己的潜力。他真的想放弃了，教练告诉他，一定要有信心，让心先过去，身子就跟着过去了。布勃卡听了教练的话，重新跳了几次，他真的跳过去了...... 听了妈妈讲的故事,我重新思考这道难题，我反复地思考，反复地演算，终于做出来了。我心里可高兴啦!

I remember a few days ago, I do maths extracurricular practice the above sikaoti. The problem is difficult, I do a few times do it wrong, so, I give up this question. Suddenly, the mother walked over, asked me why I dont do what I say: "too hard, I cant do!" My mother told me a story. Foreign a pole vaulter, called Bubka, he had created the world record 35 times, no one has yet to break. He used in the training, also encountered difficulties, always can jump. During that time, he was annoyed, depressed, or even suspect that their potential. He really want to give up, the coach told him, must have confidence, let the heart to the past, the body will follow the past. He listened to the coachs words, to jump a few times, he really jumped... Listen to the mothers story, I to think about this problem, I repeatedly thinking, repeatedly calculus, finally did come out. My heart is happy!

是啊，世上无难事，只要肯登攀，困难像弹簧，看你强不强，你强它就弱，你弱他就强。在困难面前，我们一定要信心十足、战胜困难，做一个决不向困难低头的人!

Yes, the world is difficult, if you put your heart into it, the difficulty is like spring, you look strong, you are strong it weak, you are weak he is strong. In the face of difficulties, we must have confidence, overcome difficulties, to do a never bow to difficulties of the people!
