当我闲得没事时，就总自己用微波炉做点东西吃。一天，爸爸看见我这样，说我长大恐怕是要当厨师了。我立刻把头摇得像拨浪鼓似的，说：“那不是我的理想，我长大想做IT(信息技术)行业。”

没错，自从五年前爸爸给我买来电脑后，我就一天天地熟悉它。到了去年，我已经和它结下了不解之缘。从那时候开始，我就想要在信息技术行业取得成就，为国家计算机事业做出贡献。

可是爸爸说我在这个行业中只能做“游戏测试员”，就是什么游戏新出来，总是先让我玩玩，报告游戏中有什么错误。我觉得他说的没有错，我最近一段时间老是玩游戏，那些FLASH之类的老也不用了。

最近几天，我萌生出了一个不好的想法：将我玩的那个网络游戏的服务器给黑了，将我的账号修改成最高级别。可是，我想了又想，这样做是不对的，而且被警察抓到也是不好的。而且当黑客也需要很高的电脑技术的。

成为IT行业的一员是我的理想，所以我要向这个目标前进，提高自己的电脑技术.

Last year’s Spring Festival is special. My uncle and my aunt came back from Shanghai. My family were very happy to keep the Spring Festival with them. And it was the most exciting festival of all the festivals.

On New Year’s Eve, my father and my uncle talked about their work together. My mum did some cooking with my aunt Grandparents and I watched the New Year TV programmes. At about six o’clock, we had a special family dinner. We all thought the dumplings were delicious.

On the first day of the New Year, we visited our relatives. In the afternoon, we went shopping in Jiefanf Road. My uncle bought some Jay’s CDs. He likes Jay’s music very much. There were so many people on the road. It was more alive than any other time of a year.

On the second and the third days, we spent a wonderful weekend in the country. There were much bigger trees than in the city. And the animals were more beautiful than in the city. We all enjoyed ourselves.

I had an interesting Spring Festival. How about you?

From Monday until Friday most people are busy working or studying, but in

the evenings and on weekends they are free to relax and enjoy themselves. Some

watch television or go to the movies; others participate in sports. It depends

on individual interests. There are many different ways to spend our spare

time.

Almost everyone has some kind of hobby. It may be anything from collecting

stamps to making model airplanes. Some hobbies are worth a lot of money; others

are valuable only to their owners.

I know a man who has a coin collection worth several thousand yuan. A short

time ago he bought a rare ten-yuan piece worth 250 yuan. He was very happy about

the purchase and thought the price was reasonable. On the other hand, my son

collects match boxes. He has almost 600 of them but I doubt if they are worth

any money. However, to my son they are extremely valuable. Nothing makes him

happier than to find a new match-box for his collection.

Thats what a hobby means, I guess. It is something we like to do in our

spare time simply for the fun of it. The value in money is not important, but

the pleasure it gives us is.

Xiao Hong is going to learn to ride bicycles. She is on the bike and ready

to ride when her father, mother and grandmother come and help her.Her father

holds one handle of the bike, and her mother holds the other,with a first-aid

box on the shoulder. Her grandmother holds the back seat tightly. They are all

wet with sweat. However, the bike is being moved not by Xiao Hong herself but by

her parents and grandmother. "Let me do it myself, will you?" says Xiao Hong to

them. From this picture, we can see how much the parents care for the children.

In my opinion, it is right that parents should take care of their children. But

as children, we need the chance to learn and practice some skills by ourselves.

We need to grow up independently. Let us do it ourselves.

On a sunny day, Xiao Hong is learning to ride bicycles. She is about to

ride when her parents and grandmother come and help her. They hold the handles

and the back seat. Her mother carries a first-aid box on the shoulder. They look

worried and are all wet with sweat. The bike moves ahead. However, it is driven

not by Xiao Hong but by her parents and grandmother. "Let me do it myself, will

you?" says Xiao Hong to them. In fact, the parents love their children very

much. I agree that parents should take good care of their children, but parents

shouldnt help them do everything. After all children need to practice and be

independent. They need to grow up themselves. Parents should stand aside and let

them do if they can do it themselves.

Love in high school is a very sensitive topic, the students in high school have come to the age of being mature, inside, they desire to love someone, but it is the awkward time. First, they need to focus their attention so that they can enter a better college, second, their parents are strongly objective to their love, the teachers even ban the love relationship between students. As a student, they have their own rights to love someone, the inner desire and the objection from parents and schools make them struggle to their emotions. In my opinion, high school students have so many pressure, they should put aside their love emotions for a while, they need to focus on the study, when high school time ends, they can choose their love. It is much easier, if you want to love at the time, then to love. No one will stop you.

爱在高中来说是一个很敏感的话题，高中生已经来到了即将成熟的年龄，他们渴望去爱人，但是这也是一个尴尬的时间。第一，他们需要集中精力学习，以此来考取一个好的大学，第二，他们的父母强烈反对恋爱，老师甚至禁止学生谈恋爱。作为一名学生，他们有自己的权利去爱人，内心的欲望，父母和学校的反对，让他们在情感上做挣扎。在我看来，高中生有很多压力，他们应该暂时把感情放在一边，需要集中精力学习，当高中时光结束以后，他们可以选择去爱。这容易多了，如果你那时想要去爱，就去爱。没有人会阻止你。

在教棒和粉笔的共同飞舞中，在老师声声叮咛，鼓励和无微不至地呵护下，多少位良师被学子深深地印在心里啊！

——题记

我在这里写的是一位普普通通，平凡得不能再平凡的人民教师，５０来岁，由于终日为我们不辞辛苦的操劳，脸上布满了皱纹，她的两眼黑得发亮，锋利的目光，仿佛要把什么刺穿似的。我有点害怕。她只教我们还不到四个月，但是，每当我想起她时。她对我们的严就像教练训练运动员那样一丝不苟；她对我们很关心，体贴，就像对待自己的儿女一样。 但是，那一次，我尽对她起了怨恨。那是一节自习课，英语老师让同学们把作业本Ａ订正好交到办公室去批改，作业本Ｂ作好的也去批改。我怀着喜悦的心情拿着作好的Ｂ去批改，＂报告＂＂进来＂她的声音很平稳，我走了进去，队伍并不长，我跑到英语老师右边去批改，无意间发现了电脑里有语文竞赛的成绩，我便很期盼得到自己的成绩，不听话的手尽往鼠标地区前行，不经意间，我触摸到了，这下手更不听使唤，一直往下翻动着，＂啊＂我目瞪口呆，倒数第三，我的喜悦心情沉淀了下来，＂谁呀，谁在动我的电脑？＂一声果断而又严厉的语言向我发起进攻，我吓了一大跳，我心里想：哎呀，这下怎么办呀，不如来个死不承认，或者，英语老师的教棒在桌上＂吃吃＂作响，＂把手拿过来。＂我害怕极了，真想使用一下神仙的仙术，把英语老师的教棒变成长长的棉花棒，只有我能看见，而老师看不见，软软的棉花棒触摸了我一下，＂哇！＂教棒落下来了，打得好痛呀，我有点生气，心里暗暗想着；你这个老太太，太坏了，我只不过碰了一下鼠标，看了电脑屏幕一眼，也不过如此，您竟打我，只要教育几下就行了嘛，我可是个怕痛的女孩。我心中的怨恨一直不能平静。但刚想完，那教棒的滋味和对老师的怨恨跑掉了，我寻找着，发现它屹立在英语老师身上展现出来的无可抗拒的人格魅力上。

她总穿着比别人温暖的衣服，长得虽不出众，但是她的人格魅力在我心中是最出众的，那一次英语课，因我们作业做得不好，而被英语老师斥责了一翻，最使我深受教育的是这样一句话：我做事情，要做就要做到最好。＂这声音在教室里久久回荡，震撼着我的心灵。一颗＇作一个高尚的人＂的种子便埋下了，自从那节课后，我猛然发觉自己长大了好多好多，幼稚正向我告别。我的心底默默地感谢这位教我如何做人的英语老师。

It is the traditional merit to respect the old in China. Since I was very

small, I received the education that young people should respect the old without

any question. I kept it in my heart and showed respect to the old people all the

time. But as I grew up and with the development of Internet, media exposed the

negative side of the old people. They were rude and impolite sometimes, some of

them took it for granted that young people should serve to them. So people start

to think about whether it was worthy giving priority to the old. In my opinion,

it is the adorable behavior that deserves to be respected, instead of the age.

When old people were rude, they also needed to face the publics criticism. Only

the multi-respect can help people better communicate.

寒假过去，这是一个美好而充满希望的春天！

你们拥有着绚烂的青春，你们满怀着绮丽的憧憬，在这个秋天你们以文理分科的形式选择了未来前进的方向，希望目标和理想能伴着你们走过这两年的严寒酷暑，披荆斩棘“乘长风破万里浪”。

在这里你们已经度过了一个春秋，我想问问你们，在去年的今天，当你第一次踏进我们大志中学的大门的时候，你有着怎样的雄心大志，你向自己、向你的爸爸妈妈许下了怎样的诺言，你曾经怎样梦想着自己的未来。那么，今天，你们已经高二了。你的诺言实现了吗，你离自己的梦想是近了还是远了，你有没有做到你入学时对自己的要求。新的学期开始了，你应该怎么办?是继续浑浑噩噩、随波逐流，是继续贪图逸乐、灵魂堕落，是继续不思进取、自甘落后，还是在这文理分科的岔路口，毅然走上自己选择的命运之路，用自己的汗水去为自己博得一个青春无悔，博得一个无悔的青春。

高二的分科，代表的不是学科的减少、任务的减轻，她代表的是你对未来生活的一种选择;她代表的是你对过往荣誉和耻辱的舍弃;她代表的是高考的大门正在缓缓开启;她代表的是你对自己的学习要更加深入、广泛、有创造力;她代表的是你要学会更合理的分配和利用自己的时间;她代表的是你再也没有了退路，你要懂得“自古华山一条道，狭路相逢勇者胜”;她代表的是你是时候“玩命”了。

同样各位老师们，是对教育的梦想和使命让我们选择成为一名光荣而受人尊敬的教师。我只想说教育者永远要站立在道德的至高点，因为每一个孩子的身上都会或多或少地映出您的影子，这就是师者责任之所在。我想这就是我对自己一贯的要求，也是对所有同事的一点微薄希望：您踏上讲台时对自己说的话，对自己许下的诺言，如今您还记得吗?请您永远记得她。这就是师者之心，有心才能做好教育，有心才能和孩子们心交心，心换心。也请您真心看看讲台下的孩子们，看看他们说在话语里、写在本子中、贴在礼物上、藏在心窝里对您的尊敬和感恩。

最后送给所有同学和老师一首诗：播种一个信念，收获一个行动;播种一个行动，收获一个习惯;播种一个习惯，收获一个性格;播种一个性格，收获一个命运。

在花园里、树林里，环境有许多的变化，比如：草变绿了，花变红了，树变多了，水变清了，草变少了，尾气变多了……

In the garden, the forest environment, there are many changes, such as: the grass is green, the flowers red, the trees become more, the water clear, grass less gas, more......

我先去访问了一下姑姑，姑姑说："我们家前面以前的小花园，花特别多，但在最近，许多花都枯死了，有的已经被摘了，不过有些人还在种树、种花，绿化花园。”

Im going to visit your aunt, aunt said: "before the small garden in front of our house, spend much more special, but in recent years, many flowers withered, and some have been picked up, but some people are planting trees, flowers, green garden."

我再去访问了一下爸爸，爸爸说："在姑姑家前面的西桥的下面有一条大河，以前那里河水很清澈，像镜子一样。就因为乱丢垃圾、乱排污水、洗涤……因此河水变得很混浊、很黑、很臭，河里的小鱼小虾也无法生存了。”

I went to visit my dad, dad said: "there is a river in front of the aunt of the West Bridge, where before the water is clear, like a mirror. Because littering, indiscriminate discharge of sewage, washing...... Therefore, the river becomes very muddy, very black, very smelly, river shrimp and small fish cannot survive."

我们应该做到保护环境、绿化环境、人人都能关心起来，才能让我们的环境更优美，大自然更加美丽。

We should do Protect environment, greening the environment, everyone can care about, to make our environment more beautiful, more beautiful nature.

It was the Eve of the Spring Festival.

Dusk was just falling as I slurped up the last bit of rice and laid down my chopsticks.

“Theyre starting!” cried my friend excitedly. “Quick! Quick!”

Outside, children were running everywhere. Their happy voices and faces made me warm inside, despite the cold wind that greeted me. My friend thrust a bundle of straw in my hands. “Come!” he cried. I giggled as I ran to catch up to him; the childrens excitement was a fever that spread to even the big kids like us.

I soon joined a rowdy bunch of children and teenagers who were building a bonfire in the middle of a path that ran through the wheat fields. “Here,”said my friend, handing me a long bamboo pole. “Put some of your straw in the fire. Then tie the rest onto your pole like this.” He demonstrated with his own materials, and I followed his example. Then he thrust both our torches into the fire and handed me mine. “Now run!”

And run I did----we all did. For miles and miles around, as far as I could see, there were small orange specks scattered about, and I could hear the distant screaming and laughing of other children running up and down the rice field path. For several hours into the night I helped build fires and keep an eye on the younger children. Occasionally I, too, lit a torch and ran around like a mad man, screaming and waving a flaming bamboo pole.

This festival, which occurred six days before Chinese New Year, was just one of the experiences during the visit to my friends over the Spring Festival. As it was explained to me, the purpose behind this festival was to allow the children to have fun burning up all the straw leftover after the harvest. Later, the ash is used for fertilizer.

Once I saw the TV show, it was about the fathers and their kids having the match, they were separated by five groups and compete for the match. At first, they were competing happily, but as the game came to the end, the last group was so worried. The father inspired his kid to stick on and finish the match, while the kid was crying because he knew he must be the last. After the match, the father told his kid that winning was not the most important thing for the match, the first thing was to enjoy the game and finish it, the result was not that important. I agree with the father, the child must be endowed with the consciousness that to enjoy the game is more important than to win. Every match can only have one win, but we can enjoy every match.

曾经我看到一个电视节目，那是关于爸爸和孩子在比赛，他们分成五个组，在进行比赛。一开始，他们比得很开心，但是随着比赛来到结尾，最后的那组显得很着急。爸爸鼓励他的孩子坚持完成比赛，然而孩子却在哭泣，因为他知道他肯定是最后一名。比赛过后，爸爸告诉孩子，对于比赛来说，赢不是最重要的，最重要的是享受比赛，并且完成它，结果也不是那么的重要。我同意那位爸爸的话，孩子必须要有这样的意识，享受比赛比赢得比赛更为重要。每个比赛只有一个赢家，但是我们可以享受每场比赛。

Why do we study English, because English is the international language with the same.

When we talk about the business with foreigners, I only use English to communicate, so English is very important. If we want to understand the western culture when, must use English to understand their culture and history.

What how can we learn English well: 1, first to develop interest in English study (we can see English film from listening to English song, to find the learning interest in English). 2, English class listen carefully, as far as possible to answer the teacher#39;s questions in English, use English to communicate with classmates. 3, you can listen to English tapes of radio and television programs to imitate the pronunciation of english.

This is a good method for us to learn English well.

In addition to these methods, we can from the English books and other more effective way of learning english.

One day three men got a bottle of wine. But the wine was not enough for the

three and each of them wanted to drink the wine alone. Then they all agreed that

they each would draw a snake on the ground and the one who first finished

drawing would be given the wine. So they began to draw on the ground with

sticks.

It was not long before one of the three finished drawing his snake. He took

up the bottle of wine with pride. He was about to drink when he found the other

two were still busy with their drawings. “How slow you are!” said he, “I can

even add feet to my snake before you finish yours.” He put down the bottle and

began to add feet to his snake. But before he finished, another man took hold of

the bottle and said ,“Ive finished. Snakes have no feet, so yours is not a

snake.” With these words he drank up the wine.
