The Spring Festival

The Spring Festival comes in winter。 It is the most important traditional festival in China。

People usually go home to spend the festival with their family。 They have a big family get-together。 The Chinese people have big meals and watch TV during the Spring Festival。 They also visit their friends and relatives。

Children like the Spring Festival very much because they needn’t go to school and they have a lot of time to play。

Long long ago, many families had three or four children. They couldnt look after everyone well, so the children must do everything by themselves. They were too poor to go to school. Some of them liked learning, but they had to go to find jobs to make money. Since they were children, they could do lots of difficult things like their parents. Sometimes they even did better than them!

But now, many families have only one child and they regard their child as a pearl. They did everything for the children. Every day, when the child gets up, their parents help him to make the room clean. They also get breakfast ready for their child. When the child is free, they can sleep or do other things, but they neednt do any housework. So many children cant cook; wash their clothes, some dont even know how to clean the floor. That’s too bad.

In the future, many families will have computers. We can work on the computer instead of going out to do everything. The children also can learn on the computers, so they dont need to move! After a long time, well become fatter and fatter. We wont be able to do anything by ourselves!

So, which way is good for us? We must think more.

很久以前，许多家庭有三或四个孩子。他们不能照顾好每一个人，所以孩子们必须自己做所有的事情。他们太穷上不起学。尽管有些人喜欢学习，但是他们不得不去找工作赚钱。当他们还是个孩子的时候就像他们的父母一样能做很多困难的事情。有时，他们甚至比他们父母做得更好!

但是现在，很多家庭只有一个孩子，他们把孩子视为掌上明珠。他们所做的一切都是为了孩子。每天，当孩子起床了，他们的父母帮他把房间打扫干净。还为孩子准备早餐。当孩子空闲的时候可以睡觉或做其他的事情，但不必做任何家务。很多的孩子不会做饭,不会洗自己的衣服，有些甚至不知道如何扫地。这样太可惜了。

在将来，许多家庭拥有电脑。我们可以在电脑上工作，而不是去做每一件事。孩子们也可以在电脑上学习，所以他们不需要走动!长时间以后，我们会变得越来越胖。我们做不了任何事情!

所以，什么样的方式对我们是好的?我们必须想得更多的。

家乡的山是那样绿，绿得可爱;家乡的水是那样清，清得动人;家乡的人们是那样勤劳，使人永远记得他们。

在我的家乡，有一座拔地而起的山——雪峰山。

这座雪峰山峰峦迭嶂、连绵起伏，像一条青龙卧在那里，又恰似一个巨人，矗立在万山之中，盛情的俯视着大地。每天清晨，灰蒙蒙的晨雾似袅袅的轻烟，缠绕在山顶，仿佛它做错了什么事，羞于露面。雪峰山不止一座山，大的、小的、长的、短的、横的、直的都有，争雄似的一座比一座高。

这里不仅有唯物雄壮的雪峰山，还有蜿蜒曲折的沅江。

我爱我可爱的家乡——安江，因为这里山美水美人更美!

Each people all have own dream, some people want to be a writer, someone wants to be a pilot, someone wants to be an astronaut, I want to be a human engineers - teachers.

Someone may ask me: "when the teacher have a good, low wages, work hard again, still not taken seriously by people", "the home has five grain, improper king" but has it ever occurred to you, if there is no teacher to teach knowledge, then we wouldnt it be a fool, because with the teacher teach us knowledge, we human beings can become more and more intelligent, more and more developed, it is because the teacher has given us a seam, we can swim in the sea of knowledge.

During the day, the teacher standing on three feet platform for us to the lecture; Night, the moon has climbed up the tree, but the teacher in the flickering light of hard exercise books for us on the road the bright red tick... Maybe when one is surrounded by the joy of success, he would forget their loved ones, but he will never forget my teacher, because he has a teachers success is a credit.

Now I was a pupil, I must be hard, study hard, study hard, grow up to go in the dream three feet platform.

每个人都有自己的梦想,有人想当作家,有人想当飞行员,有人想当航天员,我呢想当人类的工程师-教师。

有人也许会问我:“当教师有什么好的，工资低，工作又辛苦，还不被人重视”，“家有五斗粮，不当孩子王嘛”但是你们有没有想过，如果没有老师教的知识，那我们岂不是很愚昧，正因为有了老师教给我们的知识，我们人类才能越来越聪明，越来越发达，也正是因为老师赐给我们一叶扁舟，我们才能在知识的海洋里遨游。

白天，老师站在三尺讲台为我们呕心沥血的讲课;夜晚,月亮已经爬上了树梢,可老师还在那摇曳的灯光下辛勤的为我们作业本上打着道道鲜艳的红勾……也许当一个人被成功的喜悦包围时,他会忘记自己的亲人,但他决不会忘记自己的老师,因为他的成功也有老师的一份功劳。

我也一样，无论我长多大,走多远,我也不会忘记自己敬爱的老师,因为我是在老师的呵护,爱的沐浴下长大成才的,无论我走到天涯海角也不会忘记自己的老师,所以我向往老师这个职业。

现在我还是个小学生,我以后一定要勤奋、努力地学习,勤学苦练,长大后才能走向梦想中的三尺讲台。

Hello,everyone!Do you want to know anything about my vacation?Now let me tell you!I had a very exciting vacation.I went to Beijing.There are many special place there.For example,Hutong 、the Palace Museum、the Childrens Palace and more.I went to the Hutong first.Oh~I think it was very relaxing.Then I went to the Palace Museum.

你好,每个人!你想知道任何关于我的假期吗?现在让我来告诉你!我有一个非常激动人心的假期。我去了北京。有许多特别的地方。例如,胡同,故宫博物馆,儿童的宫殿和更多。首先我去了胡同。哦~我认为这是非常放松。然后我去了故宫博物院。这是伟大的但非常拥挤和乏味。在晚上,我吃了四川菜,准备做晚饭。这是非常美味!……

Chinese people usually have two word or three word names: the family name, a middle name and the last name.中国人的名字通常由两个字或三个字组成：姓，中间名和最后名。

Family names always come tirst.For example, my full name is Bai Junwei.Bai is my family name. Junwei is my given name.But some Chinese people dont have the middle name. For example, a man called Zhou Jian. Zhou is his family name,and Jian is his given name.姓要放在第一位。例如：我的全名叫白君伟。白是我的姓，君伟是我的名。但有些中国人没有中间的名，例如：一个人叫周健，周是他的姓，健是他的名。

People often use Mr. , Mrs. , or Miss before their family names, but never before.their given names.So you can say "Mr. Zhou", but you could never say "Mr.Jian".人们经常在他姓的后面使用先生、夫人、小姐，但此种说法从不在名字后面使用。所以你能说“周先生”，而不能说“健先生”。

Chinese names are different from English names.In England, the last name is the family name. The first and the middle name is tile given name.For example,there is a man called Jim Henry Brown. Brown is his family name. Jim Henry is his given name.Another difference between~ E.nglish and Chinese names is that in China, the younger peoples names shouldnt be the same as the elders in the family.For example, my grandpas name is Guo Dong, so i cant be called Guo Dong again.This shows that we respect the old people.中国人的名字与英国人的名字不同。在英国，最后一个字是姓，第一个和第二个是名字。例如：有个人叫Jim HenryBrown，Brown是他的姓，JimHenry是他的名字。英文和中文名字的另一个不同之处是：在中国，年轻人一般不能取和老人一样的名字。例如：我的外公叫郭冬，而我不能再叫郭冬，这是对老人的尊重。

In the family, people usually call me Weiwei for short. This is because it is shorter and easier than Bai Junwei, and it also they love me.In one word, Chinese names are quite different from English names.在家里，大人通常简称我伟伟，这是因为这比白君伟短并且容易叫，也显示出了他们对我的疼爱之情。总之，中国人的姓名表示法与英国人不同。

今天是中秋节。晚饭后，我和爸爸妈妈在小院里，一边品尝月饼，一边聊天赏月。

夜静悄悄的。深蓝色的天空，月亮好似圆盘，已不是平常的那种弯弯的小船了。它把一片片皎洁的光辉洒向大地。它不像太阳光那样耀眼、夺目，只是将自己的光轻轻地洒向小院的每一个角落。清风习习，我感到清爽怡人。一家人说说笑笑，让人感到温馨无比。

我看着那圆盘似的明月，体会着浓浓的亲情，我的心好像长了一对翅膀，飞向那无垠的夜空。

It is a celebrating day. I got in touch with Michael whom I have been losing contact for one year.

It is really magic. I was searching online aimlessly yesterday when an idea struck me suddenly: since Ben can find out my secret by keying in my name in the search engines, why can’t I do so, either?

I intended to find out something about Ben in revenge in the first place, but soon extend my name list to a wider category. It was then that I recalled Michael suddenly.

We have lost contact since our last correspondence in my senior 3. He mentioned to me in his last letter that he was preparing for going to UK to further his education. I, shamefully, was too busy to reply his mail then. When I was recommended to ZJU and won the final freedom, I thought he had already been in UK so I had no idea where to write him.

I used to think that we would never meet again. However, when I browsed the entries about him, I found out excitedly that he is still in P.R.C.!!

Without a moment hesitation, I ran upstairs to my dorm and found out my old address book. Thank goodness, his home no was still there.

After 3 times calling with no answer replies, I eventually got him on the phone. He was more surprised than I could imagine that when I asked for his hp no he was too nervous to remember it. :P Hehe.

Life is enjoyable in moments such like this. Old friends meet again surprisingly, on a road of their own ways to their dreams. they look at the face of each other, and recognize the old pal. It is such moment that makes me feel grateful to life: whenever I set off for a new destination, I see I have friends in the same direction, with whom I won’t feel alone any more.

That was a morning in the early of June. I took a bus to my school in the suburb which was surrounded by rice paddies and ponds. The sky was gray with the gloomy clouds congregating gradually along the far eastern horizon. "There must be a heavy rain soon." I spoke to myself.

When I hurried into the classroom, the sky, gray before, was shrouded now by black clouds, darken to twilight, I felt quite stuffy, while it was quite calm, without wind. I saw the leaves of trees and grass static, which seem to await something tohappen. Several minutes later, I saw the lightening split the clouds and heard the thunders following. Suddenly, the curtain of rain fell and the wind blew. soon the grass flattened under the wind and the rain. With the rain forming like a fog, the sky became bright. I took several deep breathes. I felt comfortable.

The heavy rain lasted three hours and stopped when the class was over. The air was so fresh and the sky was so clear. I felt like a new man myself.

I had a good time during this spring festival.thought the weather was very cold,I still went travelling to beijing with my family.

We got there on feb.13,so we had a big dinner at the hotel on New Years Eve with strangers over all the city.then,we watched the Spring Festival Gala Evening that night.

The next day was the beginning of New Year ,it was cold.but we kept a happy mind all day.because we had a chance to Wangfujing Street.As we know,it is the most famous commercial area in Beijing.

So we went shopping there and bought many presents .what was more,i even ate beijing duck.is was so delicious that we could not forget it·s good taste until we went back home.

I had a good holiday this time.

2008年5月12日14时28分，汶川大地震!那一刻，山崩地裂，无数人在这突如其来的灾难中失去了家园、亲人。从电视和报纸上，我也得知许多与我一样正在学校教室中准备上课的哥哥姐姐、弟弟妹妹，他们在地震发生时，由于来不及逃生，被永远地埋在了废墟中，失去了如花的生命。消息传来，所有的人都行动起来，为灾区人民伸出援手，有的捐款捐物，有的无偿献血，有的还亲自奔赴灾区参加救援。大家都在尽力为灾区人民奉献一片爱心。

With the general standard of living improvingand the working week becoming shorter，more andmore people are able to make a holiday trip toplaces of interest. While many like to joinpackage tours fro convenience，I prefer to traveln my own.

I like travelling on may own not only because it costs much less but because it gives a great degree of independence and freedom. Travelling on my own，I’m my own boss;and can decide when to start on my way，where to linger a little longer and which spot can be skipped over to save energy or time for another spot. I can always adjust my plan. On the contrary，in a package tour you’re deprived of as much freedom as in a military base. At the sound of the whistle，you have to jump up from a sound sleep and，with heavy-lidded eyes，hurry to the gathering place where you are collected and counted to board a coach. At the sight of the little flag waving，you must immediately take yourself away from the scenes you are marveling at and follow the guide whose sole interest is to cover all spots according to him strict schedule，regardless of the weather or your health condition.

True，you may encounter inconveniences if you travel individually，for instance，getting accommodations for the night and finding a place for meals. But nothing can be compared with the freedom which is vital to a person who takes a holiday trip mainly to escape from constraints of his routine life.
