当今社会，人们把学习看得越来越重。每次的成绩，都是全家上下所关心的事。正因为如此，许多的同学抱怨压力大了，不能有时间去玩，或者玩的时间少了，那么怎样将学习和娱乐这两个词联系到一起呢？

如今，大人常常会教育我们，现在就是以学习为重，不要处处想着玩，所以班上的许多同学，周末回家，都只能做父母给的习题，十分苦闷。作为一位六年级的小学生，我深深的感受到作业的多少影响到休息的时间，当双休日来临时，在我的记忆当中最多的时间就是坐在椅子上专心的写着作业。看着窗外嬉戏的蝴蝶，听着小孩子欢乐的笑声，我像一只被困在笼子里的小鸟，想自由自在的遨游在天空中，却又挣脱不了牢笼。我总是想着，如果我能不长大多好呀！1-4年级的还好，可到了5-6年级时，特别是期中，期末的时候作业常常压得我喘不过气来，俗话说：“井没压力不出油，人没压力轻飘飘。”这下可好，班里的部分同学是没了轻飘飘的感觉，但也糟糕透顶：压下去，却挺不起来了！我真心的希望作业能够少一点，好让我们能自己安排自己的时间，让我们尽情的玩耍。

虽然大家都明白这是家长和老师为了我们好，可同时也应该顾及一些我们的感受。就像下课十分钟，虽然学校多次强调要让我们下课出去玩可是，大多数同学都不愿意出去玩，要不是上完厕所边匆匆忙忙赶回来做一些课外辅导，便是三三两两聚在一起讨论题型，或讨论这次试卷的答案，只有极少数的同学出去玩。马上要升初中了，同学们的压力十分的，更别谈娱乐了，可是心里却还是想玩的，但父母与老师给的压力十分大，大家都不敢掉以轻心。

希望，在接下来的学习生涯中，大家能够，劳逸结合，学习与娱乐，结合。

前几天因为西安“与尸体合影”的事，又有人开始谴责世风日下，再联系起近年来其他俗套无聊的社会性事件，痛心疾首地感叹现在社会是一个娱乐至死的审丑社会。我也不满于照片中的年轻人，可转念一想，相比于对死者的不恭，这种上纲上线的“救世情怀”似乎更令人不悦。

首先，这种碰到任何负面新闻都会二话不说开始忧国忧民的言论风潮，本身就是一个让人不安的社会事件。仔细观察不难发现，这些言论多是对事件的有关方面发动全方位的攻击，或是45度角仰望天空，疾呼“世风日下，人心不古”。可是如果你想听听这些问题的深入分析和解决方案时，就会发现这是一块相当贫瘠的领域。众所周知，骂娘容易办事难。即使尖锐如鲁迅也承认，在把铁屋子打破之前，让屋中的睡客接着做黄粱美梦远比把他们叫起来一起诅咒现实要强得多。因此，相比受谴责的对象，这种空有冲动，毫无营养，只会滋生民众躁动情绪的“垃圾食品”才是我们更应该抛弃的。

退一步讲，轻如神曲凤姐，重如“助人被碰瓷”和“郭美美案”，真的需要我们群情激愤大肆讨伐吗？社会的发展如同竹笋吐芽，总是在好似破茧成蝶般纠结的挣扎中迈向下一个台阶。我们不要忘了，即使有让梁惠王面见孟子时不好意思的通俗音乐，依旧不妨碍春秋战国成为中国历史上绝无仅有的文化大发展时代；而如今被列为古代文学成就的小说，最早也是难以登堂入室的市井小玩意。显然，讨论事物的是非曲直和无聊有趣是一个非常复杂的过程，我们大可不必在简短思考之后就给它们扣上“低俗”的帽子。

任何一个时代在当时的人看来都是一个娱乐的轻浮的时代。因此，试图改变时代的娱乐性是不现实的，我们应该做的，是去发现娱乐大潮中的美好，舍弃其中的糟粕。

我有一个最好的朋友，她就是——黄可。

黄可是一个典型的“大嘴美女”。她那双单眼皮的眼睛本来不怎么好看，可是当她变魔术似的眨眨眼睛、捏捏眼皮之后，她竟然变成了双眼皮！一双大眼睛，别提有多美了。但是，这个小把戏过一会儿就会失效，那时，她就像一只泄了气的皮球一般，又恢复到单眼皮了。她的手和头发、彩绳一结合，真是妙极了！别人要十分钟才能梳好头发，她却不到半分钟就弄好了，真是神速！

黄可不但长得与众不同，而且梦想也与众不同呢！黄可的心愿是当一名歌星，红遍大江南北，屁股后头跟一群“可乐”（她的粉丝团），一个签名就能开天价！然而，在被老师和家长认为是“好高骛远”和“无稽之谈”的背后，她却在默默地努力着：吊嗓子，学歌曲，练签名……当然了，我和张逸飞也成了她的经纪人。我们在她家玩时，我说：“黄可，我给你策划，张逸飞来搬东西。东西不多，只有两大卡车……”

有一次，黄可从她家的楼梯上走下来，我当即递给她一支水笔当话筒，报着幕：“有请国际巨星Cola（‘可乐’的‘英文译音’）为我们演唱《后来》！”“哇呜……”张逸飞扮成了一个“激情澎湃”的“可乐”。“后来，我总算学会了……”“噼里啪啦！”我拿了一双筷子，奋力敲击着厨房里的各种杂七杂八的器皿（摇滚乐）。张逸飞拿着一堆五彩缤纷的水彩笔（花束）向黄可扑去：“Cola! I love you!”“好了，好了！演出结束了。”我说道。“好过瘾啊！” Cola兴奋地大叫起来。我们都哈哈大笑起来。

黄可就是这样一个整天做着歌星梦、大大咧咧、嘻嘻哈哈的“娱乐主义者”。

终于到了星期二——学小主持人的日子。一进门，就听见绰号“老油条”的魏宇航问：“外面有没有下雨？”“暂时没有。”我回答道。“听见没有吗，林老师走吧！”下雨？走？哦，我这才想起来，上次林老师说要带我们去野外采风。“去嘛，去嘛。”在我们的央求下，林老师终于同意带我们去月湖。可刚到外面，就下起了毛毛雨。林老师说算了，可我们执意要去， 推着她往前走。借着路灯，我们一行人快速到达了月湖。

当我跨进大门的一刹那，仿佛自己成了古代的女子。走在背廊上，欣赏园中的风景。，摸一摸树叶，闻一闻花香，感受着大自然带来的清香；碰一碰古门，看一看石碑，寻找着古代的气息。在院子中，我们如快乐的小鸟，在院子中轻盈地跳跃着。接着，我们找到了樱花。小小的，可爱的樱花，露着一点儿花蕊，绽放着甜蜜的笑容。我仿佛到了日本，置身在樱花树下，粉红的花瓣纷纷落下，就如洗了个“樱花浴”，多么浪漫，多么温馨。

夜晚的月湖平静而美丽，使人心旷神怡。霓虹灯亮起来了，月湖更像蒙上了一层神秘的面纱。水面粼粼波光，几只船静静地停在岸边。一旁的我迎着徐徐微风，在花团锦簇中慢悠悠地走着，感受着夜晚月湖的宁静。

老师带我们领略了许多景点。草地上，院子里，凉亭中，月湖边……到处都撒落着我们的欢声笑语。

Human Activity and the Earth

There is no doubt that human activity has an effect on the planet. We see the evidence of mankind’s endeavors all around us. While some of man’s accomplishments, such as the building of transportation systems and the consistent supply of potable water, have made Earth a better place for people to live, they have not come without cost. Overall, it seems that human activity harms the Earth more than it benefits it.

For example, the transportation systems that benefit mankind also create pollution and use up valuable energy resources. While we cannot do without transportation these days, we cannot ignore the fact that it has an adverse effect on the planet. Furthermore, those advances that benefit people do not benefit al the life on Earth. Deforestation endangers many animals, and mankind’s great thirst for water and other resources leads to the extinction of many plant forms. In addition, accomplishments such as the supply of potable water to a community are only response to problems that mankind created in the past. It was man that made the water unfit to drink in the first place. Finally, the damage that human activity causes will eventually have a negative effect on people. They will also suffer the effects of pollution and diminishing natural resources.

In conclusion, it seems apparent that man’s activity benefits primarily himself, not the Earth. Moreover, those benefits are only short-term advantages, and man will also suffer the negative effects of his activity in the future. The Earth does not have an inexhaustible supply of resources, so every effort should be made to conserve resources and limit the impact of human activity on the planet.

人类活动与地球

人类活动无疑会对地球造成影响，Human Activity and the Earth(人类活动与地球)，考研英语作文《Human Activity and the Earth(人类活动与地球)》。我们周围随处可见人类活动的迹象。虽然人类某些成就，如运输系统的建立以及饮用水持续的供应等，使得地球成为一个更适合的人类居住的地方，但这些成就的取得也付出了代价。总体上，对地球而言，人类的活动似乎弊多于利。

例如，运输系统对人类有利，却会制造污染，并用尽珍贵的能源。现在我们虽然不能没有运输工具，却也不能忽视运输工具对地球有不良影响的事实。此外，使人类获益的这些进步不一定能使地球上所有生物都获益

我的喜爱休闲活动不同于别的小朋友，从小就有明星梦的我，热爱创作词曲，只要创作了一首歌曲，我就会唱给朋友听，每当我写歌曲，我总是可以与我的音乐合为一体，成为最佳伙伴，很多人问我，你为何想创作呢?我总是轻松的回答：“我的音乐不同于别人，没有大房间、没有资深音乐人教导，只是我会依照心情写歌，将我的喜、怒、哀、乐融入音乐中，与聆听者分享。”

另外我也喜欢唱歌加跳舞，有人会想，我有着胖嘟嘟的身材，唱歌加跳舞应该……很丑吧!其实，经过学校举办舞蹈大赛的加持后，我更有信心了，尽管别人如何笑，我总是有着不屈不挠的精神，用我的实力证明给大家看，而且我对唱歌非常有兴趣，虽然边唱边跳会很喘，但却很快乐，反而可以拥有一小段属于自己的时间! 让我开始把唱歌跳舞当作我人生中的一部分，时时刻刻都必须拥有它。

当我拥有了休闲活动，我的生活就会精采，让我不再是黑白而是充满了色彩，就算天塌了、地垮了，永垂不朽的坚持还在，必须由我独占。不管风吹雨打，或是日晒雨淋，我都会坚持我的休闲活动，这样我才会快乐，感到自在。

今天我有幸代表四（8）班去我县义联庄乡崔庄小学参加救助山区“手拉手”联谊活动。

同学们穿着整齐的校服，戴着鲜艳的红领巾，怀着无比激动的心情踏上了去义联庄的路途。路上同学们说笑着，汽车飞快，但是我们的心却早已飞到了那里。大约一小时的光景，我们终于到了，迎接我们的是崔庄小学师生们热切的笑脸。我们兴奋地下了车，触目所见的是简陋的校舍，破旧的围墙，一看条件就非常艰苦，双方的同学们没有一丝陌生的感觉，很快就和我们融洽起来，询问着彼此生活和学习。我们学校为这次联谊活动作了精心的安排，首先向崔庄小学捐赠了书包、书本等学具，我校同学还表演了精彩的节目，然后我们就分头去联谊的小朋友家去体验生活，还要和小伙伴共进午饭呢！我们走了好远的山路才来到了联谊的三年级学生田芳芳家，一进院门是我们平时少见的三间土坯房，斑驳陆离，进了屋，屋里黑乎乎的，没有写字台，没有台灯，没有玩具，更不用说时尚的衣服了，但是贴在墙上的奖状却显得格外醒目，这时我深切地感觉到了我们和田芳芳同学的有着怎样的差距。

看着朴实、懂事的田芳芳同学，我想到了自己的生活，每天吃着可口的饭菜和零食，穿着自己心仪的衣服，由妈妈接送上下学，多么优越的条件啊，可是我们却不好好学习，于是我下定决心，通过这次联谊活动，一定珍惜自己拥有的一切，用优异的成绩来作为自己对父母和教师的报答！

What can I do for our environment?

Everyone can do something for our environment。 For me， I should try to save electricity in my daily life。 For example， if I am the last person leave the classroom in the evening， I will always remember to turn off the lights。 In order to protect our forests， I will use paper wisely。 I should try to use both sides of paper whenever it is possible。 I will not use things like paper cups and disposable chopsticks because they are made of wood。 I believe that doing all these small things will improve our environment and help make our world a better place to live in。

星期一上午的第一节课，老师神秘地说：“我们今天要举行一个活动——比力气。”

老师选出了两位选手，一位是瘦的像猴的小明，一位是胖的如熊的小海。这时有的同学在一边窃窃私语了，有的说：“这还用比吗，肯定是小海赢的。所以大部分同学都站在小海一边，也有小部分同学支持小明，说：“不能以貌取人，我相信小明也很棒的！”

比赛开始了，两位选手紧紧握住对方的手用力往下翻。突出了那青青的血管。不一会儿眼看着小明要输了，支持他的同学失望了，而鼓励小海的同学不停地欢呼着。这时奇迹出现了，小明大吼一声用力把小海的大手给翻倒在桌子上。支持小明的同学们开始大声欢呼起来！唱啦！跳啦！像刚飞出笼子的小鸟一样兴奋的不得了！而支持小海的同学立刻责备他说：“小海，你连这么瘦的人都赢不了太让我们失望了，下一轮你可一定要帮我们争会面子哦！

第二轮比赛开始了，不一会儿看着小海有要输了，支持他的同学都瞪大了不相信的眼睛注视着他，只见他脸涨的通红，好像使出了吃奶的力气大吼一声用力的压住了小明的手。“啊！这回小海赢啦！小海赢啦！支持他的同学像几年干旱突然下了场雨似的开心地欢呼着！“

童年像一朵七色花，像一个万事筒，装载着各种各样有趣的事！这就是我快乐的童年！”

在我的家里有一股笑话热潮，这是因为开心的笑话可以为父母解除一身的疲劳。每到星期日晚上，我们三个都会每人讲个笑话。

“咳咳!”到我讲笑话了，“爸爸妈妈，快入座，本人的笑话时段到了!”父母放下手头的事情，在“贵宾席”就座。“话说唐僧师徒四人坐飞机去西天取经，半路上飞机起火了，可是只有三个降落伞，于是唐僧让三个徒弟回答问题，谁答对了谁得降落伞。他问孙悟空：‘天上有几个太阳?’悟空答：‘一个!’于是唐僧给了孙悟空一个降落伞;他又问沙僧：‘天上有几个月亮?’沙僧答：‘一个!’唐僧又给了沙僧一个降落伞。轮到猪八戒了，唐僧问：‘天上有几颗星星?’……”“哈哈哈哈……”听了我的笑话，爸爸妈妈前仰后合，笑得合不拢嘴，笑得直不起腰，笑得忘了所有的劳累。

我们家不仅有笑话热潮，还有激烈的抓螃蟹比赛。每当我们家买回螃蟹，都会把螃蟹放到盆里，三个人比赛抓螃蟹。谁能把螃蟹抓起来10秒就积1分，5分钟内，谁积的分多谁就是优胜者，把最大的那只螃蟹奖给他。爸爸把抓螃蟹当成习以为常的事，每次都抓得又快又准，所以次次都是第一，我和妈妈只好啃着“残兵蟹将”，看爸爸津津有味地吃大螃蟹，馋得我们“口水直下三千尺”。

怎么样，我的家庭娱乐不错吧?你和家人也玩一玩吧!

“英语节”的活动真是花样百出，有画海报、抽奖券、看英语电影……真是让我眼花缭乱，兴奋不已。其中，最好玩的就是抽奖券和“圣诞老人抽幸运班级”啦！

活动现场一进门，哇，好多人耶！原来是英语老师正在为同学分发幸运奖券呢！我和王怡然立马奔向傅老师。啊！轮到我了！我紧张地把手伸进神秘的袜子里，心中充满了期待。呦……是一个棒棒糖，没有中奖，但有糖果吃也不错啦！

“叮咚”，同学们一听到广播就知道是杰妮老师带着“圣诞老人”来抽“幸运班级”啦！“现在终于轮到三、四年级抽奖啦！“圣诞老人”笑呵呵地说着，大家马上安静下来，屏住呼吸期待着结果。“让我看看，嗯……当当当当！是四零……，”随着“圣诞老人”故意拉长的声音，同学们纷纷伸长耳朵，瞪大眼睛，准备着又希望着……“是四零五班！恭喜四零五班！”

虽然，我没有中奖，但这个英语节我很快乐，因为英语节本来就是让我们学习知识的活动，我也确实收获了许多，也让我对英语产生了更浓厚的兴趣

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.

如今，在闲暇的时间里有多的活动供人们娱乐，尤其是在假日，如登山，野餐，举行晚会等。然而，这些娱乐活动有其优势，但也给人们的生活带来了一些不利的影响。

首先，在某种程度上，这些娱乐活动丰富了人们的生活。那些参加不同活动的人在他们闲暇的时间里不会是很容易感到寂寞、无聊而是过着美好的生活。第二，参加一些集体活动是加强友谊的一种好方式。比如，很多学生会在寒假和他们的老同学或者朋友聚会，这样大家就有一个共同的时间来相互交流了。最后但并非最不重要的，像爬山这样的活动为人们提供了一个锻炼的好机会。

然而，这些娱乐活动同时也带来了一些问题。首先，参加太多这些活动会增加他们自己或他们家庭的负担，因为举行这些活动不可避免要花一些钱。另一方面，一些娱乐活动对参与者的健康存在潜在危害，特别是熬夜，饮酒和吸烟。

因此，在我看来，在我们参加这些娱乐活动前必须要仔细的考虑。

As the social civilization develops at a fast speed, the new century has brought us with an unprecedented variety of recreational activities ranging from traditional outdoor activities such as playing ball games to all kinds of other indoor activities. People can do sports, singing karaoke, go dancing, go to the movies, play video games or online games, or surf the Internet.

随着社会文明的发展速度比较快，新世纪给我们带来了与从传统的户外活动如打球到其他各种室内活动空前的各种娱乐活动。人们可以做运动，唱歌，跳舞唱歌，看电影，玩游戏或在线游戏，或上网冲浪。

On one hand, recreational activities are good to people’s health, both physically and mentally. Sports and dancing can keep people fit. Singing karaoke will bring more excitement and enrich people’s life. Playing video games can satisfy people’s imagination and develop people’s intelligence. Surfing the Internet can bring people plenty of information and knowledge. What’s more, some recreational activities, such as going to the cinema or theatre, playing volleyballs in a team will be inductive to strengthen the affection of the family.

一方面，娱乐活动对人们的健康有益，包括身体上和精神上的。体育和跳舞可以使人健康。唱卡拉OK将带来更多的刺激和丰富人们的生活。玩游戏可以满足人们的想象和开发人的智力。上网能给人们带来的信息和知识丰富。更重要的是，一些娱乐活动，比如去电影院或剧院，在一队打排球将感应加强对家庭的影响。

On the other hand, some recreational activities, such as playing mahjong and poker, might be time-consuming and harmful if people are addicted. Spending too much time and money on these activities will seriously influence people’s normal lives. There are also some on-line games which is great appeal to the young generation. Those who are indulged in the games may waste too much time to study and exercise.

另一方面，一些娱乐活动，如打麻将和扑克，如果人是上瘾的是耗时的和有害的。花太多的时间和金钱在这些活动会严重影响人们的正常生活。也有一些在线游戏的是年轻一代的巨大的吸引力。那些沉迷于游戏可能浪费太多的时间来学习和锻炼。

As far as I am concerned, people should take part in meaningful recreational activities and try to benefit more from recreational activities. Only in this way, can they become more energetic and creative when they work and study. When it comes to those addictive, and less meaningful activities, I think to stay away from them is a wise decision.

在我看来，人们应该参加有意义的休闲活动，试图从娱乐活动更多的利益。只有这样，他们才能变得更有活力和创意时，他们的工作和学习。当谈到那些上瘾的，少的有意义的活动，我想远离他们是一个明智的决定。

In the morning we had a four-hour-class. In the afternoon sometimes we saw an English movie otherwise we learned some English songs. In the evening we had our free time. We all had a lot of fun.

这个暑假我去了一个英语夏令营。这真是一个提高我英语的好机会。我和老外、同学们一起吃，住，学习和娱乐有大约三周。早上，我们有四个小时的课。下午，有时我们会看一部英文电影。要不然我们就学一些英语歌曲。晚上我们是自由活动。我们都很愉快。

"We wish you a merry Christmas, we wish you a merry Christmas"Have you heard that song? Yup! Its Christmas time! This Christmas, I stayed with my "host family"1. It was an amazing experience to see how a typical American family would celebrate the biggest western festival of the year.

Christmas, like our Spring Festival, has a meaning in itself. Christmas Day, which is on December 25, is the birthday of Jesus Christ--the son of God. Thats why it is called Christmas. On that day, Christians would get together with their families to celebrate the birthday of Jesus. But nowadays, the religious meaning of Christmas has become less emphasized. To many families, it is just a time of family reunion and the ever-exciting present-giving.

Our school had been on winter vacation since December 11. I stayed at my friend, Stephen Stapczynskis house--his family was my "host family". Although Christmas was still more than ten days ahead, the festive spirit had already been teeming everywhere. The Christmas tree had already been set up, and on every windowsill, there were Christmas lights. On the first day I arrived at their house, Stephen and I helped Mrs. Stapczynski put decorations on the Christmas tree. The tree looked so nice with all the lights on and the beautiful ornaments dangling from its branches.

As Christmas came closer, the whole neighborhood had made preparations too. Some people would hold parties at their houses, inviting all their neighbors to come. So every night, if you went out, you would see a long line of cars parked in front of some house--a partys on!

Whats more, the Christmas decorations that some people put on their windows and in gardens were just amazing. On one night, we went out in our car for a "tour of lights". There was one street that was so famous for its lights that it got its way into the local paper. We had a hard time finding the well-hidden street, but it turned out to be worth the effort. Lights shone brightly in front of nearly every house, on trees, bushes, doors, windowseverywhere, taking different shapes, making it seem almost like daytime. Huge inflatable figures in the front gardens were waving to us: there were Santa Clauses2, of course, chuckling merrily away; and there were also other Christmas figures, like Rudolph3--the red-nosed reindeer--with his red nose gleaming ever so brightly; even Bart Simpson--a character in the famous comedy The Simpsons--had joined the jolly party, wearing a Santas hat. The street set off a lot of "ooh"s and "aah"s inside the car.4 When we left, there was a line of cars in the street, all there to see the lights.

Christmas is the time for exchanging presents. Stephen and Niko had been thinking about their Christmas lists (a list of things they wish "Santa"to give them for Christmas) for a long time. I didnt want to ask for anything, but the Stapczynskis were so kind to "force"me make one list as well (Mr. Stapczynski told me if I didnt make one he would chop off my legs). So I wrote down a couple of things that I would like to have, and gave the list to them--sorry, my mistake--to Santa.

Finally, Christmas Eve came. There was a special Christmas service at the church at 6 p.m. It was certainly a very interesting experience for me. The priest started the service reading and sang out extractions from a holy book--The Divine Liturgy. For several times, we would stand up and pray.

Sometimes, the church choir would start singing. The atmosphere was very quiet and holy. Then there was a ceremony called "The Receiving Communion". People waited in line to "receive"a spoonful of food from the priest. It was a very special Christmas tradition. The food was made from bread and wine. The bread represents the body of Jesus, and the wine represents his blood. After this ceremony, the priest had a speech. He reminded us not to forget the true meaning of Christmas, and let Jesus really live inside us--that is, to love the people around us wholeheartedly. I think that no matter if you are a Christian or not, this principle should be part of our lives. After the priest finished his speech, the part that I enjoyed most came: Christmas carols5. Christmas carols are songs that people sing at Christmas, such as "Jingle Bells", "We Wish You a Merry Christmas", "Silent Night"and so on. Some were very merry, others sounded quite holy, but all of them were beautiful. I closed my eyes, and let all the peacefulness and happiness that were in the songs flow through me. What a feeling it was!

We went to sleep earlier that day for we had to get up early on Christmas Day to open our presents. Sure enough, when I was still half-way during a sweet dream, Stephen burst into my room and told me to get up and open presents. There were a huge pile of presents under the Christmas tree, and there was such a mysterious mist shrouding them that made me eager to see what they all were. So one by one, we went through all the presents. Mr. and Mrs. Stapczynski had bought me everything I had written on my Christmas list--and a lot more! I got music CDs, film DVDs, clothes, books I was very happy, and I didnt know how to express my appreciation for what they had done for me.

Stephen and Niko had gotten a lot of presents too, and they had already been trying out their new games!

In the afternoon, we went to Mrs. Stapczynskis brother, Uncle Stans house. They had prepared a marvelous meal for us. A lot of their friends and relatives also came. I saw Stephen and Nikos grandparents, Yiayia and Papou (words of grandma and grandpa in Greek--Mrs. Stapczynskis parents came from Greece, so they like the boys using Greek words to call them). They were very kind to me, and treated me just like one of their family members. We had a very luxurious meal, consisting of turkey, beef, pork, and all sorts of other food.

After the meal, when all the stomachs were full and everyone was feeling drowsy6 from all the food, we just sat around the table and chatted, just like what we Chinese people do at the Spring Festival. After all, Christmas, like the Spring Festival, is a time for us to get away from our busy lives, a time for family gathering, and a time to have some fun.

许多人都认为学习第一，娱乐第二，但是我们可以只学习而不娱乐，或者只娱乐而不学习吗？

学习能让我们不断地获得知识，娱乐又能丰富我们的课余生活。难道在学习中不应该有些娱乐，在娱乐中不应该有些学习吗？学习和娱乐能共存吗？古今中外，不少名人、科学家都是在娱乐中认真学习而获得了伟大的成就。英国科学家牛顿从小就特别喜欢做手工，但他的学习成绩却不怎么好。他在放学回家的路上经常看见一个磨面的风车，于是他就回家仔细研究，亲手做了一架小巧玲珑的风车。他把这小风车带到学校，向同学们得意洋洋地炫耀。其中一位同学卡特问他：“风车为什么会转，这道理是什么呢？”牛顿顿时哑口无言了。同学们就嘲笑他：”只会做而说不出道理来，真可笑！“从此，牛顿不仅刻苦钻研手工，还发奋学习，成为了一名出色的科学家。

在我们的校园里同学们不仅单纯地学习、读书，学校还开设了奇思妙想节、欢乐体育节、美文美读节、、、、、、让我们把学习和娱乐集为一体，让我们的校园生活更加多姿多彩！

在家里，我们也可以一边学习，一边娱乐。我和爸爸、妈妈、外婆、外公一起用扑克牌“计算二十四”。我们?任意抽出四张扑克牌，分别运用加、减、乘、除四种运算方式得出二十四，谁最快计算出来就获胜。这种游戏方式不仅让我玩得不亦乐乎，还大大地提高了我的口算能力，开动脑筋，在玩耍的过程中加强了学习。

我觉得学习和娱乐是能够共存的。在学习的过程中能娱乐，也能在娱乐中不断地学习！

People have been living on the Earth for thousands of years。Humanactivity influences the Earth。 Some people believe that theEarth isbeing harmed by human activity。 Others feel that humanactivitymakes the Earth a better place to live。 In my opinion， theearth isbeing damaged by human activity。 There are manystatementssupporting my opinion。

Human activity has damaged natural environment and almostexaustednatural resources。 Modern industry needs more and moreresources，including minerals， fuels and water。 So we confront ofthe seriousproblems such as the lack of fuels and water。Ecological balance isdamaged because factories occupy many placeswhere animals andplants live。 More and more buildings areconstructed and forestsbecome less and less。 If we cannotrecognize these problems andsolve them soon， we would finally losethe environment suitable forour living。 An other serious problem is the green-house effect。

Humanactivity decreases forests and increases the usage of fuels sothatthe gas of carbon dioxide is output more and more and there arenotenough plants to absorb it。 The green-house effect is moreobviousand more sensible these years。 Due to the effect， icebergsin thesouth polar and north polar melt and the sea level becomeshigherthan before。 I am worried about the cities nearby the sea andhopescientists find an effective method to eliminate thegreen-houseeffect。 Although we have advanced machines and our life seemsmorecomfortable than before， we have less chances to approachnaturesand less spaces to act。 The cities become bigger and if wewant tohave a picnic with our friends， we have to drive a longdistance tofind a natural place。 In fact， the spaces of humanactivity arebeing damaged by the skyscrapers and factories。 From the above statements， we can conclude that humanactivitybrings the Earth many damages。 Fortunately people haverecognizedthe point and I believe that the Earth will become abetter placeto live with our ceaseless efforts。
