Nowadays, there are many kinds of activities for people entertaining in their leisure time, especially in holiday, such as climbing a mountain, having a picnic, holding a party and so on. However, these recreational activities have its advantages but also bring some harmful influences to people’s lives.

First, to some extent, these recreational activities enrich people’s lives. Those who take part in different activities will not be easy to feel lonely or boring in their leisure time and live wonderful lives instead. Second, taking part in some group activities is a good form to strengthen friendships. For example, many students will hold a union to collect their old classmates or friends in winter holiday so that they have a common time to communicate with each other. Last but not least, such activities like climbing a mountain provide a good chance to do exercise.

However, these recreational activities also bring some problems at the same time. For one thing, taking part in too many these activities will increase the burden of themselves or their families because it is inevitable to spend some money in holding these activities. For another, some recreational activities have potential harm for participants’ health, particularly staying up all night, drinking and smoking.

Therefore, in my opinion, we have to make a careful consideration before we take part in these recreational activities.

China has always had a splendid traditional culture. There are Dragon Boat Festival, Qingming Festival and national day... I like the Spring Festival most.

Everywhere on the streets decorated, people are busy buying antithetical couplet, do special purchases for the Spring Festival, greeted the arrival of Spring Festival

At the time of the new year, our children wear new clothes and new caps, and the adults have a happy smile on their faces. Year thirty to eat reunion rice, happy to spend the year. At night, some adults play mahjong playing poker, and eating melon seeds, chatting words not like... Children like to put out fireworks. The timid child went to the fire, and the timid child looked behind. The fireworks are colorful... Play it like that! Have fun!

After a long time, I was reluctant to leave the friends and go home each other. I thought, "it would be good to have the Spring Festival every day."

An unforgettable 200 word composition for the Spring Festival

The Spring Festival, every family, bursting with happiness decorated, our family is no exception.

On the thirty day of the year, I came to grandmas home with my mom and dad. Morning, the street is always a "crash" huge crowds of people, and the "bite" sound. I asked my sister strangely, "what are these people doing, sister?" My sister smiled, but did not speak, so I put all his strength into the crowd, there is a pair of men are dragon dance. The dragons aunt and uncle are dressed in white clothes and red pants, they catch the dragon, the Dragon stretching from Voldemort swinging, gongs and drums accompanied by the sound of the dragon. They are praying for peace for people through every street and lane. At this time, we followed the team to the river. They were around the big boat by the river, praying for prosperity. The end of the dragon, we listened to the distant sound of gongs and drums, gazed at the dim figure.

In the evening, our family sat on a stool, eating a reunion meal. After dinner, we stood on the balcony upstairs and looked at the downstairs fireworks. The first one is the flower basket. The flower basket is made up of six circular holes. The flower basket first sprayed sparks, then suddenly flew up to the sky and burst into many colorful sparks. So it sprayed six times. It seemed to be blessing for people. Sister feel good, could not wait to pick up the Butterfly King, the elder sister quickly ignited in their hands, "flutter" sound of fireworks, to a light butterfly, dancing in the sky, the last "bang", divided into many a spark in the sky slowly and gently. Float to the ground. I took a bowl, hold in the hand, "bang", "bang", ten guns, resounded through the night sky symbolizes our joy and happiness.

The sky was getting dark. Our family went to the room to watch the Spring Festival Gala, say and laugh, how happy the Spring Festival is!

Hello everyone！ My name is * * *, from Jiangsu * *. Very pleased to enter the academic atmosphere of the * * * * college. After all, for every student, public undergraduate is a dream that is worth working through. Today, it is becoming the youth of the post, dream of the stage, the struggle of the blue sky.

For this was rooted in the heart of the dream, we work hard, we fought in the busy high school life, we only know must strive to finish each paper, do well every quality inspection, in each examination room are outstanding. We dont even have time to ask ourselves if its going to be hard work.

Today, I finally arrived at * * * and came to the beautiful campus of the university. Actually, in March of this year, I stepped into this city with a long history for 4 times. However, the legend of the picturesque scenic spots: Dr. Sun Yat-sens Mausoleum, Mochou Lake, the Qinhuai River, Confucius temple, I never want to see. Those famous snacks, I did not want to have a try. I dont want to go shopping in those busy commercial centers in Xinjiekou.

Why? Because I am very clear, I came to * * *, the purpose is to participate in the art of radio and television director of the examination. I remember when I gave myself a chance to choose more, and in the confused eyes of my teachers and classmates, I often played the violin on my back, and took the south train at 4 in the morning.

What kind of day is that? While at the same time to course review, while also practicing the violin concerto butterfly, while reciting the historical geography textbooks, while also have time to read reviews, stories, practice commentary, prepared speech.

You may know: at Nanjing Arts Institute was next to a park, I took the examination room to see from the south, first, look at the list, and then to go to the provincial exam retest, located south Normal University, I dont know how many times through to a total of 8 times, this park? Or maybe the 10 time? But even today, I dont know what the name of that park is

When the Nanjing Arts Institute professional examination scores down, the provinces fifth results did not bring me joy. I am still in learning, in practice, a tiny bit are not slack. The teacher said, "you have got a good result in the cultural class. Why do you want to do art?" Students say: your violin level already by the China Conservatory of Music grade 8 examination, why practicing until late at night? I dont know how to answer. I just have to try and even try my best. In order to dream, in order to be able to enter the University hall.

Finally, my dream came true. I love art, but I love Chinese language and literature more. Although I gave up art, but art has shed sweat and no waste, because art is able to help us better understand the literature, literature and art combined with each other, a beautiful flower, bear the fruit of happiness.

I sincerely hope that with the help of teachers and students, I can bring my special skills in art field into full play in Chinese language and literature. We can have the opportunity to contribute to our professional development and the development of our school.

Dear Mr. Wang

Hello!

Open the picture album of my memory, I can still find the scene when you

just entered class 2 (4) three years ago. I have been holding back what I want

to say to you for three years. Today I will open my heart and tell you my

heart.

succeed, you praise me happily. Do you remember that time I was inoculated with

swine flu? After the injection, I watched with envy that Zhang Jiayis mother

was putting on her coat Just then, you picked up my coat and kindly said to me,

was your beloved disciple. However, I only got 95% in the national language

examination. I know that you have deep expectations for me, but the first half

of the fifth grade ended here. Do you know? I always feel that what I have

learned is like an empty heart pistachio. Its not that I dont have confidence,

but I think I can never surpass Zhao Xinyi. Everyone said that I only paid 50%

of my efforts, but I dont know how to work hard. You said that I read less

books, didnt you? You can rest assured that I will work hard in this aspect

this holiday!

When the new year begins, you will see a brand new Zhang yuxu: not selfish

and selfish; tolerant and loving In more than a year, I will leave my dear you

and my dear school, and now I have been extremely reluctant to give up. However,

you can rest assured that I will be a pillar of a country when I grow up! I will

win you honor! I will hook you up here!

Finally, the Spring Festival is coming. Ill give you a new years

greetings first!

Best wishes
