I like reading very much because reading is the ladder of human progress.

What’s more, reading brings us not only endless fun but also opportunities.

There are many available books for us to choose from, like history books,

science books, literary books and so no. But what interests me most in history

books---over the long course of history, the Chinese nation has witnessed

changes of dynasties, transfers of governments, and foreign powers in modern

cell phone to, can not afford to indulge in a world of mobile phone.

Environmental problems are as big as not for individual country or individual people to address. In other word, we have reached the stage that environmental problems be solved for international view. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

In recent years, many nations have become more aware of the environmental issues each nation faces, such as air and water pollution. The question is, are the environmental issues a national problem or an international problem? It is my belief that the environmental issues have grown to the point of becoming an international problem needing international cooperation to resolve.

Because of the differences in environmental policies, resources and technology, international cooperation could provide quicker results and have a greater impact on bringing resolution to environmental problems for nations of differing environmental policies and of lesser resources and technology. By pooling international resources and technology to address the environmental problems, the disadvantaged nations are provided the assistance needed. Otherwise their environmental conditions deteriorate ultimately affecting the resources and environment of the world as a whole.

One of the difficulities to an international resolution to environmental issues is the difference in individual nations view and policies toward environmental protection. In order for international cooperation to occur and succeed, the nations of the world must submit themselved to international standards and supervision by an international commission elected by the participating nations of the world. All members must agree to abide by the standards established.

The environmental issues facing each country are not unrelated to the well being of the rest of the world. The impact is long term and international in scope. Without international cooperation and agreement to address such environmental issues as glacial melting at the South Pole, depletion of the ozone layer, water pollution, air polution, etc., the environmental conditions of the world will deteriorate to the detriment of every nation, not just those that ignore or lack the resources and technology to resolve their individual environmental problems.

As part of the same planet, it is the responsibility of each individual and nation to protect the global environment. Only international cooperation will provide the timely solutions and the effectiveness needed to stop the deteriorating global environment.

同学们穿着统一的服装，脸上带着笑脸，排着整齐的队伍，喊着响亮的口号，拉开了运动会的序幕。

比赛开始后，运动员们个个生龙活虎，摩拳擦掌，迎接着比赛。比赛的项目有跳绳，短跑，长跑，跳远，跳高，铅球等等。在运动会上我们班的许多常胜将军，比如：“安智升，刘梓轩，樊子墨，”他们一如既往的发挥了超常的运动水平，都取得了第一名的好成绩。

随着一声枪响，800米的比赛开始了，我们班有翁宇翔和雷宇代表我们班出战，这是一场考验耐力与速度的比赛。他们像离弦的箭一样，飞奔了出去。刚开始我班的运动员并不起眼，一直跑在中间的名次但是他们没有放弃，一直在一步步的追赶上来。跑动第三圈的时候，所有运动员都有一些体力不支了，慢慢的速度放慢了下来，这时，只见一个瘦小的身影迎面追赶了上来，超过了一个又一个的运动员，第四名，第三名，第二名。我们场下的啦啦队员们也看得激动万分，心都提到嗓子眼来了，用着全身的力气大喊道：“翁宇翔加油，翁宇翔加油，冲刺再快一点，再快一点，超过他。”翁宇翔听到了我们的加油助威声，动力更足了。只见他咬紧牙关向前冲刺，超过了第一名，现在翁宇翔跑到了最前面，还有20米，10米，5米，翁宇翔冲过了终点，取得了第一名。我们班同学都十分激动，迎了上去围住他，这可是我们班的大功臣。在跳远比赛中，翁宇翔也脱颖而出，跳出了3。39米的好成绩，这可是他第一次参加跳远比赛哦!真是这场运动会上的一匹黑马呀!

运动会完美收官了，我们班取得了五年级总分第一名的好成绩。让我明白了一个道理，小小的身体，也有大大的能量，没有什么不可能的，说不定你就是下一匹黑马。

Nothing can be more exciting than success to a man. But you must face many difficulties before you can succeed. No one can make it easily. And it’s harder for those who are in adverse conditions to succeed.

However,everything has two sides. Just as someone said, in every adversity there lies the seed of an advantage and in every defeat there is a lesson showing you how to win the victory next time. The most important forus is to establish a brief, that is perseverance. The British ex-prime minister Winston Churchill had a motto of "Never, never, never, never give up . Nothing can substitute for hard work. Life is a process of struggle for success.

My teacher gave me an assignment "experience life" last week. I had been thinking how to finish it because I had never done any thing by myself before.

Mother was out today. It was a good chance to complete the assignment. Seeing the barrel was empty, I decided to fetch water from the well.

I took the empty barrel and went towards the well outside the yard. It snowed yesterday, so the alley was very slippery. A layer of thickice was frozen on the platform of the well. I was frightened by the sight, but I gathered my courage to walk towards it.

The alley was so slippery that I walked with difficultly. Suddenly, I slipped and fell down, water in the barrel totally poured down on the ground. I stepped on the platform carefully. After standing steadily and squatting down slowly, I hooked the barrel at the end of the rope and put the rope down slowly. I made an effort to drag the barrel up after it was filled with water. I was very careful because it was easy to slip and fall. Then, I carried the barrel of water and returned to my house. My figners were frozen stiff. I realized my effort was in vain. I hated myself.

I failed to finish the assignment but I did experience life through a trifle which seemed easy but difficult to do well. Such was my first experience of life.

My Low-carbon Life

The environmental pollution is worse and worse today. Many trees are cut

down, and water and air are polluted. As a student I try to have a low-carbon

life to save energy and reduce pollution.

Firstly, I often walk to school. It can reduce air pollution. Secondly, I

always turn off the lights and fans when leaving the classroom. Thirdly, I

always make full use of paper and other school things and never waste water.

I wish more students to join me and make the earth more and more

beautiful.

Christmas Day-December 25-which celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ, the founder of the Christian religion, is the biggest and best-loved holiday in the Christian World.

According to the Bible, the holy book of Christians, God decided to allow his only son, Jesus Christ, to be born to a human mother and live on earth so that people could understand God better and learn to love God and each other more. "Christmas"- meaning "celebration of Christ "- honors the time when Jesus was born to a young Jewish woman Mary.

Mary was engaged to be married to Joseph, a carpenter, but before they came together, she was found to be with child. Because Joseph, her husband, was a righteous man and did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly.

But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins."

Although the exact date of the birth of Jesus nearly 2,000 years ago is not known, the calendar on the supposed date divides all time into B.C. (Before Christ )and A.D. ( a Latin phrase, Anno Domini, "in the year of our Lord.") For the first 300 years, Jesus birthday was celebrated on different dates. Finally, in the year 354, church leaders chose December 25 as his birthday.

I enjoy singing very much. While singing, my heart as well as my body is joyful. When Im happy, I often sing out to share my happiness with others. I also sing out to pour out my bad feelings when Im upset.

我很喜欢唱歌。唱歌的时候，我的心以及我的身体都是快乐的。我高兴的时候，我常常唱出来与大家分享我的快乐。我难过的时候，我也唱出了我不好的心情来倾诉。

I like pop music most, because I want to follow the trend. I prefer soft music to rock music. Since we may be very tired after a long days work, we need a rest very much. Perhaps soft music is the best recreation for us. My favorite pop stars are JJ and Jay Chou. They always make a wonderful performance on the stage. Their songs are so charming. I admire them very much.

我喜欢流行音乐，因为我想跟随潮流。相对摇滚乐来说我更喜欢轻柔的音乐。因为经过漫长的一天工作后我们可能会很累，非常需要休息。也许柔和的音乐对我们是最好的娱乐。我最喜欢的明星是林俊杰和周杰伦。他们在舞台上的表演总是很精彩。他们的歌曲是如此的令人着迷。我很佩服他们。

In my spare time, I often sing a song to others. Everyone is so happy to be my listener, because Im very brave and confident. Even though I couldnt be a professional singer, I can still get a lot of good fun from singing. Because of singing, my life becomes more colorful.

在我的空余时间里，我经常为别人唱歌。每个人都很开心的做我的听众，因为我很勇敢和自信。即使我不能成为一名专业歌手，我还是可以从唱歌中得到很多乐趣。因为唱歌，我的生活变得更加丰富多彩。

时间过得真快,转眼又是一年,今天上午，学校开始放寒假了。我与以往放假时一样，总会在假期开始的第一天，订一个切实可行的计划，目的是为了能够使自己在假期中，过得更加的充实和快乐，并能学习到更多的校外知识，欢欢喜喜喜过个年。

我要培养我的兴趣和爱好，我要跟爸爸一起练练书法，长大以后也能够写一手好字。多看电视里的新闻报道，了解社会。我还要多锻炼身体，保持身体健康。

我要坚持写日记、作文。以前，我写的日记“干干的”，主要就是缺少观察;以后，我打算每天看三十分钟的课外书，在寒假期间把一些所见所闻记录下来，并把有一些有意义的人或事写成文章。看一些优秀的作文，学习别人的写作长处。在网上查找写的好的文章，向人家学习学习。另外，我还要一个小册子，起名为“日记小材料”，平时发生一点小事都要留心观察，把一些精彩的东西记录下来，那可是写文章的好材料哟!到时候要写东西，那就不愁“没事可写”了!

走亲访友，做到文明礼貌，尊敬长辈，向亲戚朋友介绍自己的学习情况，向同龄人交流学习心得。

这就是我的寒假计划，我不但要加强学习，也要多帮爸妈做事，大家觉得我这个寒假计划怎么样?

The moment I stepped in high school, I have made up my mind to study hard

for the purpose to enter a good university. In the first year, I made a lot of

new friends. All of them were so excellent that I wanted to learn from them. As

the second year has come, I felt great pressure. My scores went up and down and

I felt so worried. I told myself that I should find a way to relieve pressure.

Listening to music was a good way. I would sing with the music and shake my

body, which made me forget everything but the joyous music. Second, I would like

to talk to my friends, because they understood me. We would have some tea in the

shop and then shared our secrets. When we laughed out loudly, all the annoyance

would disappear.

For the young people, it is very important to have ambition, they need the motivation to move on. But most of them are just talking about the ambition and never take the action. The action is as important as the ambition. On the one hand, ambition sets up the goal for a person to fight. Without ambition, no one can be successful, ambition is just like the light in the dark, it leads people to see the bright future.

On the other hand, action helps people to realize their dreams. Sometimes, action even is more important than the ambition. Everyone has the ambition, but the action makes them different. The one who just keeps thinking and not to take action will never be successful. As the saying that no pain, no gain, it reminds people to take action. So we need to have both ambition and action.

对于年轻人来说，有雄心壮志是很重要的，他们需要动力来前进。但是他们大部分人只是嘴上说说，从来不行动。行动和决心一样重要。一方面，决心为人定下目标去奋斗。没有决心，没有人能够成功，决心就如黑暗中的灯光，引导着人们来看光明的未来。

另一方面，行动帮助人们实现他们的梦想。有时候，行动比决心更加重要。每个人都有决心，但是行动才会有所作为。谁只是想想而不采取行动的话，是不会成功的。正如有句话说没有付出，就没有收获，这告诉人们要采取行动。因此我们既需要决心，也需要行动。

In this world there are many difficulties, overcome the eat to the success of candy, failed to eat very sour acid pears, in when I was three years old, has tasted the sweets of success.

Remember when I was three years old is four wheeled bike ride, then see other children on two wheels of the bicycle, I also want to ride. But in the heart of demons how also wont disappear, always afraid of hurt, afraid of ke is hurt. Mom and dad gave me great encouragement, and finally the two small wheeled off and ride up and not focus, always stagger, two feet without leaving at the same time. Havent contact for a while, I like frustrated the ball, pursed mouth. Mom and dad to see me so soon discouraged, told me a lot of truth, I also dont listen. Finally mom and dad use a meter, let me quickly learned to ride a bike.

Mom and dad pushing his bike out, riding up and said to me: "tingting, my mother and I want to ride a bike to go out to play, goodbye!" I have a look at mom and dad to go and ride a car chase, said: "you dont go, wait for me." This is mom and dad just stopped and looked at me and smiled. I immediately stopped, hugged daddy, said to him: "dad, I can ride a bike."

So, I learned to ride a bike, and after I hard practice, I mastered the skills in less than a week. Our family bicycle went out to play.

"Difficulties like spring, you weak it is strong. Difficulties like spring, you strong it is weak."

I through that finally understand this truth, to insist, can not fall by the wayside. Must eat to the success of sweets!

这个世界上有许许多多的困难，克服了就吃到了成功的糖果，失败了就吃到很酸的酸梨，在我三岁时，就尝到了成功的糖果。

记得我三岁时骑的是四个轱辘的自行车，那时看到别的小朋友都起两个轮子的自行车时，我也很想骑。可是心中的心魔怎么也消失不了，总是怕摔着，怕磕疼了。爸爸妈妈给了我很大的鼓励，最后把两个小轱辘卸掉了，骑上去没有重心，总是东倒西歪，两只脚没有同时离开地的时候。还没联系一会儿，我就像泄了气的皮球，撅起了嘴巴。爸爸妈妈看我这么一会儿就泄气了，给我讲了好多道理，我也听不进去。最后爸爸妈妈使用一计，让我很快学会了骑车。

爸爸妈妈也把自己的自行车推了出来，骑了上去并对我说：“婷婷，我和妈妈要骑车出去玩了，再见啦!”我一看爸爸妈妈要走，一边骑上车追，一边说：“你们别走呀，等等我。”这是爸爸妈妈才停下来，看着我，会心的笑了。我立刻停了下来，抱住了爸爸，对他说：“爸爸，我会骑车了。”

就这样，我学会了骑车，经过我刻苦的练习，我不到一个星期就掌握了技巧。我们一家子骑车出去玩了。

“困难像弹簧，你弱它就强。困难像弹簧，你强它就弱。”

我通过那件事终于明白了这个道理，做事要坚持，不能半途而废。一定要吃到成功的糖果!

I have a best friend。

She has long，straight，black hair，big，black eyes and a small nose。She is very thin and kind，she is cute，too。 Her English and Chinese is very good。She is hard—working。

She favorite season is summer，because its hot ，she can eat ice— cream。She like playing the piano ，reading books and singing songs。

Whos she？ She is my best friend ———Sun Mengqi。She has a very good English name，too———Angle。

译：

我有个最好的朋友。

她有着长长的黑色直发，大大的黑眼睛和一个小鼻子。她很瘦，对人非常和蔼，她也很可爱。她的英语和语文非常好。她学习十分认真。

她最喜欢的季节是夏季，因为夏天很热，她能吃冰淇凌。她喜欢弹琴，读书和唱歌。

她是谁？她就是我最好的朋友——孙梦琪。她还有一个很好听的英文名——Angle。（安琪儿）

我们这个地方元宵都会做两件事，第一，就是去娘婆庙烧香，目的是为了祈求保佑，希望来年事事顺利、心想事情、家人健康平安。第二件事呢!就是去偷青!今年的元宵，我两件事都不落下，朋友们说要开元宵晚会!首先我们先去田地里摘菜，这就是所谓的偷青、可想而知偷青中的青就是青菜了，无论是摘哪块田地的菜，我们都会放二毛、五毛的!人们摘的菜通常都少不了葱、蒜，它们的寓意是吃了聪明会算数!田地里有好多人，有些田主也在，他们不在家里和家人一起共享元宵之乐是担心我们摘到洒了农药的菜啊!我们摘了满满两大袋的菜，回到家里，接下来应该是把这些菜做成美味可口的佳肴了，可是我们这些女生都会做菜，最终我们打破了女入得厨房、男进不得厨房的常规，把这艰巨的任务交给了“猪脚”同志。我把今天下午准备的肉切好，“猪脚”说：“这肉怎么那么肥，还有这鸭肉怎么有股酸味”。这时我不禁想起了今天下午我和朋友去买菜的事，因为从没买过菜，来到市场，有一个肉店的老板拿着一块肉到我们面前说：“小妹买这块肉吧”。我不禁笑起来!朋友看到这肥肉果断的说了不要，朋友可不像我从没买过菜，不过在我不耐烦的催促下她买了这块肉肥肉。肉不好，也影响不了大厨“猪脚”的厨艺，菜还是一样的美味可口，大家都喝起啤酒，我从来没有喝过，原来是那么的苦啊!厨艺好并不代表牌技高，“猪脚”同志大输啊!输钱固然是不高兴，再加上猪脚的话多，整个晚会有了他才有了欢乐，郁闷才离我们而去。鸡叫了，大家也便各回各家了。

这是我一次有趣的经历，这次经历带给我欢笑，快乐，它让我知道田主的好心、认识到市场的竞争、更让我知道我毫无一些本领，没有尽自己该尽的义务，还一味的增添父母的负担，我惭愧!

这次经历带给我欢笑，也让我认识到自己的不足，我会努力地去改正，做一个好女儿!

品味自己亲身经历的事，你会发现很多道理，无论是品味事、物、还是文字、其中都会有它暗藏的“秘密”，只要你细心品味，你就会发现更多道理，而那些道理，用再多的金钱也无法得到!

Never Put Off Until Tomorrow Whst You Can Do Today

We have been told that mever put lff untill tomorrow what you can do today since childhood. However, there are still many people who like putting offthc things thcv should do today until tomorrow. They have no plans for their work and their time. As a result, they will not accomplish their goals in the end.

For cxample, one Sunday I felt so tired after having a football match that I did not finish my homework even at night. I thought I could get up earlier to go to school the next morning so that I could finish my homework before class. But the next morning I was not able to get to school in time because of the traffic jam. I was punished by the teacher.

It taught me a lesson. From then on I made a determination that I would niver put off anything important until the next day. Please remember: Work today, for you dont know how much you may be hindered tomorrow. Seize the present day and trust the tomorrow as little as possible.
