After sunset, the sea becomes so different from daytime. The see breeze makes me comfortable. Walking without shoes feels great, because the sand is so soft. Sometimes, we will play games on the beach or make some sand sculptures. Its really funny. Besides, there are many people on the beach, and we often talk to them or play with them. Therefore, its a good chance to make new friends there.

The Great Wall of China is called the "Ten thousand Ii Great Wall" in

Chinese. In fact, it s more than 6 000 kilometres long. It winds its way from

west to east, across deserts, over mountains, through valleys till at last it

reaches the sea.It is one of the wonders of the world.The Great Wall has a history of over twenty centuries. The first part of it

was built during the Spring and Autumn Period.

During the Warring States Period, more walls were put up to defend the

borders of the different kingdoms.It was during the Qin Dynasty that the kingdom of Qin united the dif ferent

parts into one empire.

To keep the enemy out of his empire, Emperor Qin Shi Huang had all the

walls joined up. Thus, the Great Wall came into being.The Great Wall is wide enough at the top for five horses or ten men to walk

side by side.Along the wall are watchtowers, where soldiers used to keep watch.Fires were lit on the the towers as a warning when the enemy came.It was very difficult to build such a wall in the ancient days without any

modern machines.

All the work was done by hand. Thousands of men died and were buried under

the wall they built. The Great Wall was made not only of stone and earth, but of

the flesh and blood of millions of men.

Today the Great Wall has become a place of interest not only to the Chinese

but to people from all over the world. Many of them have come to know the famous

Chinese saying: "He who does not reach the Great Wall is not a true man."

今日是端午节，家家户户都吃粽子，过端午，热闹非凡啊!俗话说得好:“好事成双嘛!”这不，我爸的一位朋友在海边新开了一家小吃店，就是今日开张呢!于是，当夜幕刚刚降临，我们一家便换上衣服，前去海边为爸爸的那位朋友送上自我的祝福，为他捧捧场，顺便也“慰劳”一下自我的肚子! Today is the Dragon Boat Festival, every family eats dumplings, the Dragon Boat Festival, the lively!A friend opened a new snack bar at the beach, which was opened today! So, when the night came, our family changed clothes and went to the sea to send himself to his fathers blessing to help him.By the way, "comfort" myself!

刚到那儿，嘿!人还挺多啊!一开始我和弟弟便迫不及待地点了许多好吃的!之后便坐在一边津津有味地和食物们开战了!正吃着，抬起头，我便被门外那美丽如画的景象所吸引了：

黑得有些略显深沉的天空上，一轮皎洁的明月显得格外不一样，引人注目，周围围着一颗颗闪耀的小星星，闪着小眼睛，构成了画中最大的一个亮点。

在明亮的月光下，一排长长的桌椅，边上坐满了来此游玩的游人们，那人真叫一个多，店主们一个个在店里、客人中两边跑，虽然是一个个汗流浃背，可是，却也是不亦乐乎啊!这边是画中的另一个亮点了。

这时，一旁有人在放孔明灯，那一盏盏向远方飞去的孔明灯引起了我的注意，我走到那人群里，刚好一盏孔明灯由他们手里缓缓地升起来了。当灯升起的那一刻，所有的人都十分的开心，看着那渐渐飞上的孔明灯，再看看一旁正在欢笑的人们，他们何尝不是画中的亮点了。

陶醉于画中一个又一个亮点，将弟弟交给妈妈，我脱下鞋子，漫步在沙滩，将脚深深地埋入那柔软的沙子当中。海浪‘哗哗’的打在沙滩上，似乎在招呼着我说：“快下来呀!这可好玩了!”我走到了水中，将脚浸在水中，任由那淘气的浪花在脚丫里自由的行走。张开双手，尽情地享受海风的吹拂，任风儿在我的发丝中穿梭，伸手想抓住它可是它却调皮地躲开了。俯下身子用手去触摸那一朵朵小浪花，可是它们总是在我碰到他们的那一瞬间，笑着向四面散开了。

完全被这画面所陶醉了，因妈妈在上头叫我，我只好依依不舍地离开了水，向沙滩走去，远远地回头，那副美丽的画仿佛在和我挥手说再见呢!

同学们，这幅画怎样样有时间叫上亲人，朋友，亲自去体验一下这“人在画中”的幸福滋味吧!

阴历五月初五为‘端午节’，‘端午’本名为‘端五’，‘端’是‘初’的意思‘五’与‘午’相互通用。端午节是我国一个古老的节日，其中里面有一个故事。

我国古代有一位爱国诗人叫屈原，他遭谗言被放逐后，无力拯救危亡的国家，悲愤过度，于是投江自尽，以生殉国。人们为了不使鱼虾吃掉他的尸体，纷纷将捏成的各种各样的饼子投入江中，用来喂饱水中的动物，有的划着船在水上敲锣打鼓驱赶水兽。这便成为现在端午节，吃粽子、炸糕点、赛龙舟的由来。

说到这里，我又想起了我家过端午节的情景。奶奶捏了种类不同的饼子，有小花，小人，小海星，真是形态各异。妈妈急着去买菜角，爸爸不慌不忙地拉着我去买粽子。排着长长的队，好似一条长龙，我们好不容易才买到了粽子。可以看出，家家户户都很重视这个节日，人们用这种方式来表达对屈原的思念和崇敬。

我要热爱祖国，好好学习，做一个对国家有用的人，这样才能像屈原那样，受到人们的尊敬和爱戴。

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!

Every morning you can see the sun rising in the east. The sun gives us light. When you stand in the sun you can feel the heat. The sun gives us heat from very far away. The sun is about one hundred and fifty million kilometers away. It looks small because it is so far from us, but it is actually very very big.

The earth goes around the sun. It takes the earth a year to go around the sun. Plants, animals and people need the sun. We cannot live without the sun.

Please join in “Clear your plate” campaign.

Now, some of us students like buying a lot of snacks. They eat a lot even if they were not hungry. If they don’t like the food, or they can’t eat up the food, they will throw it away.

It is really a bad thing. We have wasted lot of food. And at the same time, it is bad for the students’ health.

So boys and girls, let’s change our habit. When we have dinners in restaurants, don’t order too much food. And try to eat up all the food we ordered. If we can’t eat up all of them, just pack them and bring them back home to eat. Please give up the snacks between meals. Encourage your classmates and parents to join us. If you find somebody is throwing away food, just stop them.

Mention everybody knows that theDragonBoat Festival in China, and they all want to eat dumplings, dragon boat racing.

But, you know how the Dragon Boat Festival? Let me tell you the truth. Ancient chu lived a man named qu yuan, he remained at the officer, and very loyal to the emperor, he often propose for the emperor. Qu yuan is anathema to treacherous court official, however, there are some, and beside the emperor said qu yuan it is not good, the bad, the emperor listened to believe, the qu yuan to the frontier. Qu yuan, with a patriotic heart. Qu yuan, please go to other countries, but he didnt go to, just worried about his own country. Lost of qu yuan, chu is getting closer and closer to death, in the end, even the king chu being seized.

One day, qu yuan heard that is going to die, chu was very sad, thought, even countries all perish, Im still alive? Thought of here, he picked up the stone jumped into the lost.

This is the fifth day, people sadly, they threw rice into the river, let the fish eat rice, do not eat qu yuan, boating and struggling to go to the river look for qu yuan.

This is the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival, you know!

在中国提起端午节人人都知道，而且都要吃粽子，赛龙舟。

可是，你知道端午节是怎么来的吗?让我来告诉你吧。古时候楚国住着一个人，名叫屈原，他在朝中当官，对皇上非常忠诚，他经常为皇上出谋献策。但是，有一些奸臣对屈原恨之入骨，于是在皇上身边说屈原这不好，那不好，皇上听了竟然相信了，把屈原贬到边疆。屈原怀着报国之心。别的国家都请屈原去，但他不去，只是担心自己的祖国。失去了屈原，楚国离灭亡越来越近，最后，连楚王都被别国扣押。

有一天，屈原听说楚国快要灭亡了，非常伤心，心想：连国家都灭亡了，我还活着有什么用?想到这里，他抱起石头跳进了汩罗江。

这一天是五月初五，人们伤心极了，他们把米扔入江里，让鱼吃米，不吃屈原，并且奋力划船去河里找屈原。

这就是端午节的来历，你知道了吧!
