Is it good for students to do some housework？ Some people think students need not do any housework。 They think the only thing students need do is to study well。 I don’t think so。 It is good for students to do some housework for three reasons。 Firstly， to do some housework can make you independent。 You can’t depend on others all your life。So you should learn to do some housework now。 Secondly， to do some housework can keep you healthy and strong ， some hard housework can be regarded as a kind of physical exercise。 Finally， to do some housework can share your parents’ work 。They must be happy if you say” Have a rest ， and I will do the housework”So I think it is good for students to do some housework。

To: Mr. John Smith, General Manager

From: George Chen, Accounting Department

Date: January 22, 2003

Subject: Application for annual leave

Dear Mr. Smith，

I would like to apply for an annual leave from January 25th to 31st.

As you may know the Spring Festival is falling on February 1st this year. Its the most important holiday in China and offers the best occasion for family reunion. However, over the past 3 years I missed the reunions due to tight work schedule. Now that I have wrapped up my work for this year, I would like to go back to my hometown to pay filial piety to my parents and help my sole brother prepare his wedding on January 28th.

Its indeed double happiness for my family that I would like to be part of. Coupled with the official holidays for the Spring Festival, I will have two weeks off which will definitely gear me up for better work in the new year. Im looking forward to your kind answer.

Best regards,

George Chen

I’m writing to ask you to excuse me for not being able to keep our

appointment. I do know that this is very impolite and must have caused you much

trouble.

I do reckon that at present any explanation is pale and futile. However I

do not want you to misunderstand me. On my way to your office, an old lady

suddenly fainted due to heart attack on the bus. I stopped a taxi and sent her

into a nearby hospital. I stayed there until her came, which spoiled our

appointment.

I am aware that our appointment is of importance. I do hope that you would

be kind enough to spare your valuable to meet me.

I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Graduation is a time of moving on, further studies, or out into the society? There are a lot of choices which we are supposed to make and we are emotional at the graduation season. What’s more, we usually have a variety of activities about graduation, such as taking photos, having a class party, leaving words to each other in our memory collections, exchanging gifts between friends to memorize our friendship, giving teacher presents to express our thanks.

However, we have mixed emotions about farewell. We want to spend more time having fun and working with each other, but we have to move on. Facing many choices about our future makes us confused; meanwhile the coming farewell makes us sentimental. As long as these feelings come along, we have to deal with it. We should know that after graduation we will learn more and be more experienced. Being apart with our friends and classmates is temporary, next time we meet each other, we will live a better life and share our different colorful experiences with each other.

Graduation will come sooner or later whether we are ready or not. Let’s make great efforts for our future.

December 25th is Christmas day, my mother tells me: Christmas is not a traditional Chinese festival, it is the biggest festival in western countries in a year, which is equivalent to the Spring Festival in China.

Coming to the street, everyone feels the atmosphere of the festival. Almost all the stores have Christmas trees, some in the doorway, and some in the hall. The Christmas tree pyramid, wearing a green dress, wearing a small bell, jingle bells, a gentle touch, a beautiful voice; golden light, like the blinking stars; small lantern flashing, riotous with colour, very beautiful!

Look! The bank stood a door on the high ropes "snow doll". Wearing a blue hat, wearing a blue vest, gloves and shoes are blue, chubby face, curved eyebrows, round eyes, like two bright purple grapes, pointy nose, orange, triangular, and the smile is so cute! My little sister yo couldnt help stretch her chubby little hand, holding the snow doll, but also the tender sound Nenqi said: "hello! Hello! "

However, the most striking is the yidie shopping hall side, a beautiful picture of a big table with a white foam show, seems to tell the story of a fairy tale: in a beautiful red house, the seven dwarfs happy life together. On Christmas day, they bounce ran out of the house, snowball, snowball fights, snowmen in the snow...... Three, decorate the Christmas tree, which has a height of about four meters, wearing a golden coat, covered in studded sapphire, dazzling. At this time, only listen to the clatter, clatter... From far closer, the Santa Claus is full of gifts, and they dance with joy.

A lot of people in this photo, I was no exception, accidentally also get covered in snow"!

It is known to all that today the environment has been badly polluted.

Though many action have been taken to protect our environment, it still has a

long way to go. Two years ago, I went to middle school, and the first moment I

saw the environment, I found that trees were very small, and many workers were

busy planting trees. Now, when I looked around our school, the trees were taller

than people and they grew so fast. People always talk about planting trees but

less of them can take action. If they plant trees immediately, then there would

be more green scenery. Protecting the environment is not just words. We should

take action right now.

Dear Santa Claus:

Howdy!Arrive the Christmas festival soon again, did you want to" go to

work" again?Would you still ride the floret deer trailer to come this time?

Can you arrive at my bed front?Do you put previous lists to line up the dry

skates in the socks, like?I liked it too, putting on it many cool!

Can you arrive at the kid sister younger sisters bed front?Sing a lullaby

for her at the time of she cry, coax her to enter the beautiful dream country

quickly and quickly.

You can stop in the sky, to a peaceful seed?The people of now needed it

too, for the sake of these the innocent peoples, letting them feel the

sweet.

Santa Claus, you which the gift that come?You are how can anyone know the

children demand what?

Wish you:

Happy every day!Healthy longevity!

[最好的朋友英文作文

Youth

Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.

Youth means a tempera-mental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20. Nobody grows old merely by a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals.

Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spring back to dust.

Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being‘s heart the lure of wonder, the unfailing childlike appetite of what‘s next and the joy of the game of living. In the center of your heart and my heart there is a wireless station: so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from men and from the Infinite, so long are you young.

When the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old, even at 20, but as long as your aerials are up, to catch waves of optimism, there is hope you may die young at 80.

青春

青春不是年华，而是心境；青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝，而是深沉意志，恢宏想

象，炙热恋情；青春是生命深泉在涌流。

青春气贯长虹，勇锐盖过怯弱，进取压倒苟安。如此锐气，二十后生而有之，六旬男子则更多见。年岁有加，并非垂老，理想丢弃，，学习英语的网站，方堕暮年。

岁月悠悠，衰微只及肌肤；热忱抛却，颓废必致灵魂。忧烦，惶恐，丧失自信，定使心灵扭曲，意气如灰。

无论年届花甲，拟或二八芳龄，心中皆有生命之欢乐，奇迹之诱惑，孩童般天真久盛不衰。人人心中皆有一台天线，只要你从天上人间接受美好、希望、欢乐、勇气和力量信号，你就青春永驻，，风华常存。

一旦天线下降，锐气便被冰雪覆盖，玩世不恭、自暴自弃油然而生，即使年方二十，实已垂垂老矣；然则只要树起天线，捕捉乐观信号，你就有望在八十高龄告别尘寰时仍觉年轻。
