Mid-autumn Day is a Chinese festival. It usually comes in September or

October .On that day we usually eat a big dinner and mooncakes. It is said "Hou

Yi" missed his wife，so he made mooncakes. It looks like the moon.

There are many kinds of mooncakes. They are small round cakes with meat，

nuts or something sweet inside . eating mooncakes has been our custom. Families

stay outside in the open air eat a big dinner and mooncakes. The most important

thing is looking at the moon， On that day， the moon kooks brighter and rounder.

We call this moon the full moon.

On that day， families get together， so we call this day getting together.

This is Mid-autumn Day. I love it very much. Because on that day I can eat

mooncakes. And my brother comes back home. He works outside all year. Only that

day and the Spring Festival. He comes back. So that day I am especially happy.

On that day my family gets together.

When doing the same thing, some people success but some fail. There must be

many factors leading that result. In my view, the most important factor is the

difference of confidence, determination and sociability are the foundation and

condition of success.

First of all, no matter who want to success, they must have confidence, as

confidence is the basic need for success. If someone always thinks he can’t do

this or that well, then he can’t finish it well. For example, when a person is

being interviewed, if he doesn’t believe he can do that job well, how can he act

believable, so how can the interviewers trust his ability? Therefore, the

interview is obviously a failure. However, if a person is confident, he can

receive the opportunity to prepare for every challenge easily, which makes

success become closer.

In addition, confidence just the door for success, if someone wants to get

into the house of success, determination is necessary. The determined meet

difficulties always overcome it and insist to the end. On the other hand, if

someone is not determined, he would give up when facing difficulty. For

instance, when doing homework, the person who is not determined always can’t

finish perfectly and even copy from others when he thinks that homework is hard

to finish. However, the person who is determined always can finish it well,

because he know what he really wants and he is able to carry on.

The last but not least is that no one can do anything well by themselves,

so they need help. At that time, sociable is helpful. It is well-known that

success is hard to reach. Therefore, people need others to help them. A sociable

person can get help easily, as he has so many friends. On the other side, a

person is not good at communication, when he gets in trouble, maybe no one helps

him. So we can see the importance of sociability to success.

In a word, there maybe not only confidence, determination, and sociability

are essential to success, but I think they are the most important ones, for they

are the foundation and condition of success.

Mobile Phone Obsession

As the drawing presents, there is a man walking across the street absorbedly focusing on his cell phone without noticing the surroundings. This sort of phenomenon is not uncommon and rare in some metropolis, especially among the youngsters.

What the picture illustrates is the prevailing situation that has long existed in todays China. That is the mobile phone obsession. With the advent of information age, people are becoming

increasingly fascinated on the electronic products, especially the cell phones. Not surprisingly, you could easily notice that most of us are obsessed in sending messages, playing online games with their mobile phones. It cannot be denied that this phenomenon may negatively impact the relationship among people, and therefore they will become estranged and isolated.

Personally, in view of the overuse of mobile phones, I hold that we individuals should raise the necessary awareness that good relationships are reinforced by sincere and face-to-face

communication.

二、基本情况。

这一学期，我继续担任初一(1，2)班的英语教学工作。这两个班级，每班各有学生三十五人左右，但是，基础却不尽人意。初一.1班的学生基础还可以，但是2班的基础却相差很远，学生基础参差不齐，两极分化严重，没有学习的兴趣。因此，教学工作开展的相当困难。

三、教材特点。

初中英语第一册(下)主要介绍了日常生活的交际用语以及一些西方国家的文化背景和风俗习惯，教材通俗易懂，旨在使初一级学生基本能用英语进行简单的交流。

3、认真贯彻晨读制度：规定晨读内容，加强监督，保证晨读效果。

4、坚持日测、周测、月测的形成性评价制度：对英语学习实行量化制度，每日、每周、每月都要给学生检验自己努力成果的机会，让进步的同学体会到成就感，让落后的同学找出差距，感受压力。由此在班里形成浓厚的学习氛围，培养学生健康向上的人格和竞争意识。

5、对后进生进行专门辅导，布置单独的作业，让他们在小进步、小转变中体味学习的快乐，树立学习的自信，尽快成长起来。

6、关注学生的情感，营造宽松、民主、和谐的教学氛围。

7、实施"任务型"的教学途径，培养学生综合语言运用能力。

In current society,thanks to the deepening reform and opening-up,there is

so much unemployment, the competition for jobs is very fierce.In an effort to

land a decent job ,a host of school-leavers choose to attend the graduate

school‘s test.They want to learn more knowledge before acquiring a fine job.They

also can be confident in taking interviews.Consequently,attending the graduate

school‘s test is pevalent increasingly in late several years.

Among other folks intend to secure a job after graduating.Although the

competition for jobs is very fierce,it is also very difficult to find out a fine

job for colleage students.After a couple of years,the number of the graduate

students is sharply up-swing.It is same to face job problems for graduate

students.Secuing a job after graduating can accumulate experience in order to

get on well in the future.

In my eyes,the Middle kingdom enjoys a booming economy, a rising number of

companys from overseas come to built themselves factories.We are facing

opportunities and challenges.We might well choose to land a job after

graduating.Plus,we are still young,we can choose to attend the graduate school‘s

test after accumulating working experience.It will be wise for us to do

that.

Dear Tim,

With Spring Festival drawing near, I’d like to invite you to my home to experience the festival.

When you come, we can enjoy traditional Chinese food together, and then put up Spring Festival couplets. As a traditional custom, the couplets are always posted on the door of a house. Written on red paper, a couplet is composed of two lines of poetry, which rhyme with each other. Not only do the couplets add some joyous atmosphere to the festival, but also they express people’s wishes for a better life.

I would appreciate it if you could accept my invitation. Looking forward to your coming.

Yours,

Li Hua

Halloween

Halloween always falls on 31 October. It’s a holiday for children. On that day, children always wear fancy clothes and masks. And then, they go from house to house to say “Trick or Treat”, so that people will treat them with candies. If they don’t receive any candies, they’ll play a trick on people. But sometimes if the people are going out, when the children come, they’ll put the candies in a carved pumpkin lanterns. Children will take the candies themselves. All of the children enjoy this holiday very much.

万圣节总是在10月31日。这是一个属于孩子们的节日。在那天，孩子们总是穿奇装异服而且带上面具。然后，他们会挨家挨户地说“不招待就使坏”，所以人们都会用糖果招待他们。如果他们不接受糖果，他们就会对人们恶作剧。但有时，如果人们外出了，而孩子们来了，他们会把糖果放在雕刻好的南瓜灯笼里。孩子们会自己拿糖果。所有的孩子都很享受这个节日。

刚安顿好酒店，9双人字拖就带着九人团就向海滩出发。

远远听到海浪的声音,库塔海滩近在眼前了，我们开始兴奋起来。

穿过一大片椰子林，宽阔的海滩上出现在我们面前。满是晶莹、细小的金沙，被火热的太阳炙烤着，踩上去有点烫。

走近些，一迭迭雪白的浪花涌上岸滩，好客的它们带给我们许多美丽的贝壳、珊瑚、海螺，甚至还有小螃蟹。

我赶紧冲到海里，任凭海风吹拂着我的脸，海浪冲洗着我的脚丫，是那么凉爽，那么舒适。

冷不丁一个巨浪涌来，我被迷住了眼睛,一大口海水进入口中,真是又咸又涩，全身的衣服也都淋湿了。

不一会儿，水退了下去，被海水带走的沙子从我的脚边滑过，让人觉得痒痒的，真舒服。

最激动人心的浮潜时刻到了，热情的当地人露出灿烂的笑容，引导我们坐上长着四条细长“手臂”的怪船，向大海中央驶去。

海水飞溅，浪花朵朵，上下起伏的快艇让我感觉像一只自由的飞鸟。

二十分钟后，船停在了海中央，我整个人趴在海面上，把头浸入水中，透过潜水眼镜，海底世界向我揭开了它那神秘的面纱。

鱼可真多啊，有的像一座小山丘，身上布满黑白条纹；有的五彩斑斓，紫的、红的、橙的，犹如一道天边的彩霞；有的浑身亮闪闪的，蓝一块、黄一块，变幻多端，好像仙女的戏法。

突然，我觉得脚底痒痒的，原来是调皮的小鱼用头顶我呢，它们扑闪着一双双活灵活现的大眼睛，似乎想跟我交流一下。看来巴厘岛的鱼也特别热情，我快乐地和它们嬉戏，仿佛自己也成了一条活泼的小鱼。

我真想永远留在巴厘岛，这里有蓝天、白云、大海、沙滩，和最灿烂的巴厘式微笑。

Since the first day of my winter vacation, I’ve decided to make it a

valuable and enjoyable one. I made a plan to finish my homework within the first

week, and after days of hard working, I actually got all my assignments done a

day earlier. I am pretty proud of myself for not —as usual —hang out with my

friends until the last few days of my vacation and rush through my homework.

In the rest of my winter vacation, I made up my mind to improve my reading

skills. I’ve had tons of books that I simply bought and put them on my shelf,

wishing some day they would be finished themselves. But this time, I realized I

was not trying my best last term and decided to make some change. I finished a

couple of novels and watched some classic movies, I also went to a library to

borrow some new books for next term. The more I read the more enthusiastic I

became, and now I’ve developed my reading skills a lot.

Another event in my winter vacation is that I went to hiking with my

parents. It was a warm, sunny day, which is pretty precious during winter time.

I can still remember the scene when we drove

这次我们全班去龙庚年华去旅游，我们可高兴了，恨不得马上大声唱歌!

到了时间我们坐上大巴，我们在大巴上有说有笑，说着说着，我们都忘了时间，感觉一下就到了!

到了龙庚年华，我们走出大巴，一走出来风好像在欢迎我们，凉风习习，吹到我们身上好舒服啊!我们排好队依次走进了龙庚年华。我们先参观古代的东西，我们一边看一边说，有的还拿手机出来拍照，我看见古代的犁好大啊。我们参观后，又坐下来休息，一边是自己带来的零食一边和别人谈天说地。没到一会儿，就要走了，我们又参观了植物。

来到植物馆，我第一眼看到的就是这个粉色植物，它很长，又很大。我们又走，看到了很大水果，一问原来是南瓜，不问不知道一问吓一跳，可真大。随后我们又参观了动物馆。

动物馆里是一些都灭绝了动物，比如恐龙，这个假恐龙，虽然是假的，可看上去像真的，那尖利无比的牙齿好像随时都会吃了你一样。

要回家了，我们念念不舍的走了，我永远不会忘记这次旅游，因为让我感受到了快乐，我们一路走来有说有笑难道不快乐吗!

世界上怎么会有不用电的空调呢?你一定感到惊奇吧!不用着急，且听我为你慢慢道来。

这个不用电的空调，是在大自然的鬼斧神功下完成的，它是一个神奇的山洞，位于花垣县长乐乡跃马卡村，它有个神奇的名字，叫犀牛洞。

这一天，在老师的组织下，我们来到了犀牛洞风景区。刚到犀牛洞，映入眼帘的是青山绿水，荷花成片，阵阵晨风迎面扑来，给人一种心旷神怡的感觉。但我没有忘记此行的重要目的，就是进犀牛洞看看，因为早就听说里面的景更是美不胜收!

在老师的组织下，很快我们就准备进入犀牛洞了，我的心情既兴奋又有些紧张，记得来之前老师特意嘱咐我们多带件衣服，我想这大热天的，为什么还要多带衣服呢，想必这犀牛洞定有特别之处。这时，洞口的门开了，一阵寒风顿时迎面扑来，我不禁打了个寒颤，仿佛一下进入了冬天。跟随着大家的脚步，我走进洞口，真感觉到温度一下降了下来，简直比家里的空调还是凉快。

进洞之后，眼前马上呈现出无数色彩斑斓的美景，各种奇形怪状的钟乳石在五光十色的灯光下显得格外美丽动人。特别是那“龙口银牙”，它本来是一个大石头，中间不知怎么裂了一个缝，缝中一排排坚锐的“牙齿”滴着水，在灯光照耀下，显得有些吓人，但又有种说不出的美感。往里面走，就看到“象鼻山”了，这是令我印象最深刻的一处风景，那是一块大大的石头上，长出了一根长长的鼻子，活灵活现，太像大象的鼻子了，真想摸一摸，看它会不会喷出水来?

洞里真是太冷了，还没走到一半，我就感觉自己仿佛被关在冰箱里了，好在我听了老师的话，多带了件衣服，现在起了重要的作用——让我穿着它，继续往前欣赏。同行的人们，指指点点，这里看看，那里碰碰，有说有笑。一会儿，我们又到了“趵突泉”，三个大大的喷涌出来的“泡泡”，让我感觉到特别的惊奇。还有“神笔垂挂”，仿佛一支大笔立在洞中，让我立刻想到了神笔马良，这个美丽的犀牛洞，不会是神笔马良画下来的吧?这时，听到有人说：“快看，真像!真像!”真像什么呢?好奇心驱使我赶紧走过去，一看，那个钟乳石的造型真像主席啊，难怪好多人往里面丢纸币，以求健康平安，祈求幸福。这真是让我大开眼界。

一路上，还看到了很多美景。这些美景之所以能一直保留下来，我想可能是与这洞的气候有关，因为冷，所以不那么容易风化，所以能凝固成各种各样的造型。这不用电的空调犀牛洞，让我深深佩服大自然这个设计师把犀牛洞设计千姿百态、如此美丽。

游览完犀牛洞，我的心被深深的震撼。由犀牛洞，我想到了祖国的大好河山。我想说，我爱犀牛洞，也更爱祖国这片土地了。

"Bumper harvest, bumper harvest!"!" Cried one of the fishermen, happily

jumping up like a child. After a while, the full cabin fish alive and kicking,

calm sea filled with coming from all sides of the fishermens

laughter.........

Now, like this "fish and shrimp full cabin" scene has been very rare. In

todays market, is the most common fish pound at least to dozens of yuan, more

serious pollution of the ocean, the ocean resources gradually dried up, seafood

production, prices rise, it illustrates this point?

In the ocean of natural calamities and man-made misfortunes emerge in an

endless stream today, human pollution is often not from the original intention,

but it is caused by the unexpected effect. The British Petroleum oil, because

the drilling platform explosion, caused by the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico,

to 9900 square kilometers of sea water is seriously polluted, so that tens of

thousands of seabirds soaked in oil to move, die in hunger and misery, makes

countless fish poisoning death; and the Japanese earthquake and tsunami

triggered a nuclear leak the marine pollution is more serious......

The sea is so vast that it is because the rivers and streams flow into the

Yangtze River and then run into the sea. If we do not solve the pollution

problem from the source, then no matter how people clean up the sea, there will

always be sewage flowing into the sea, and all the efforts will be futile. Now,

streams and streams are often seriously polluted, or they become places where

people dump rubbish or are loaded with pesticide cans. Finding a clear stream in

an inhabited area can be very difficult today!

In any case, the protection of the oceans can not be achieved by individual

forces, and the protection of the oceans depends on the joint efforts of all

mankind. I do not want one day in the future, our descendants can only imagine

the image of the vast and wide sea.

This is not only the wish of a pupil, but also the wish of all mankind,

isnt it?

Away from the books to bring me heavy,away from the results brought me the blow,running, toward the field,enjoy nature, return to nature.

The golden fields are filled with this years grain bumper harvest.May be in this calm field,but came a uninvited guest:grasshopper.It is also known as locusts,will change the color of rice and change their own color,eating crops in the field.So the National Day holiday,I and my brother can not wait to come to the edge of the fields,line up sleeves, rolled up pants,rushed into the field, began to rectify the “pest”.

The fields are bouncing grasshopper everywhere,Gu got this only, and refused to take that only. Soon we will be exhausted.Helpless,I and my brother had to sit on the ridge,to discuss countermeasures.After the footsteps,we began to work together:I refer to the grasshopper where my brother caught the grasshopper, caught the grasshopper by me pulling off the spring-like legs,and then to watch.With a specific program, grasshopper immediately planted.Blink of an eye, a few grasshopper has become my playing things.I am leisurely to play,my brother struggling to catch the grasshopper in the field,he slowly unconvinced, sitting on the ridge,that must be with me to catch grasshopper.I can not say that he had to catch the grasshopper with him.

I looked at a grasshopper,quietly walked over, suddenly a beat,grasshopper has jumped to my head,my brother called me do not move,a slap on my head,but the grasshopper jumped to the His head,I retaliated for him,suddenly a beat,the grasshopper suddenly jumped into the field,blink of an eye, gone.But I and my brothers “hatred” but also offset.

Perhaps my mind is too narrow, God determined to give me a retribution:when we once again into the “war”, my feet were “hidden” up the soil stumbled twisted,I fell on the thick straw People all right,but the straw is down a large.Perhaps my screams alerted the owner, the owner flew out from the house, we turned and ran,and finally hid in a pile of weeds, escaped,but the mosquito bite a few packets.

This happened during the National Day is really interesting,I remember the golden river from the addition of a brilliant luster!

Many people ask what happiness is. I don’t know why there are many people

asking this question, because I think happiness is simple. As for me, I feel

happy when I do a good job in my study. Teachers praise me and my parents are

happy. Or, when I help others I feel happy. I am proud of myself. Besides,

playing with my classmates or friends is happy, too. We always have a great time

together. From above, they are all happiness.

One story about Jack,an Irishman,who was not allowed into Heaven because he was stingy with his money.So he was sent to hell.But down there he played tricks on the Devil (Satan),so he was kicked out of Hell and made to walk the earth forever carrying a lantern.

Well,Irish children made Jacks lanterns on October 31st from a large potato or turnip,hollowed out with the sides having holes and lit by little candles inside.And Irish children would carry them as they went from house to house begging for food for the village Halloween festival that honored the Druid god Muck Olla.The Irish name for these lanterns was "Jack with the lantern" or "Jack of the lantern," abbreviated as " Jack-o-lantern" and now spelled "jack-o-lantern."

The traditional Halloween you can read about in most books was just childrens fun night.Halloween celebrations would start in October in every elementary school.

关于万圣节有这样一个故事.是说有一个叫杰克的爱尔兰人,因为他对钱特别的吝啬,就不允许他进入天堂,而被打入地狱.但是在那里他老是捉弄魔鬼撒旦,所以被踢出地狱,罚他提着灯笼永远在人世里行走.

在十月三十一日爱尔兰的孩子们用土豆和萝卜制作“杰克的灯笼”,他们把中间挖掉、表面上打洞并在里边点上蜡烛.为村里庆祝督伊德神的万圣节,孩子们提着这种灯笼挨家挨户乞讨食物.这种灯笼的爱尔兰名字是“拿灯笼的杰克”或者“杰克的灯笼”,缩写为Jack-o-lantern .

现在你在大多数书里读到的万圣节只是孩子们开心的夜晚.
