When asked about their opinion of career and family, people always respond differently. Some people deem it more important to pursue their career, while there are always other people who argue that family should be the number one in one’s life.

It goes without any question that career plays a key role in our life. In the very first place, career can give us an aim to live on. Without career, much of our living time will be certainly wasted. What’s more, career can provide us with a means to live on. Most of the people earn their income from a job. On the other hand, family is also an indispensable part of life, as many people will admit. Family is always regarded as a place where we can escape from troubles in life. In addition, we can obtain a sense of belonging to from family. Without it, anyone will feel lonely and desperate.

In my opinion, career and family are not in opposition to each other. Rather, they can enhance each other so that one’s life can become better and better. Therefore, it’s not a choice between right and wrong, but one between ideal and practical.

在谈到自己的事业和家庭的意见要求，人总是有不同的反应。有些人认为这更重要的是追求自己的事业，而总有那么谁认为家庭应该是一个人的生活的人数1人。

毫无疑问，任何事业在我们生活中起着关键作用。在第一个地方，可以给我们一个职业生涯的目标是生活。没有职业生涯中，大部分时间我们的生活一定会被浪费。更重要的是，职业生涯可以提供一种手段，对我们的生活。大多数人从工作中赚取的收入。另一方面，家庭也是生活中不可缺少的一部分，因为很多人会承认。家庭一直被认为是一个地方，我们可以摆脱生活中的麻烦。此外，我们可以得到一个属于家庭的感觉。没有它，人会感到孤独和绝望。

在我看来，职业和家庭是不反对对方。相反，它们可以加强彼此，使自己的生活能够越来越好。因此，它不是对与错之间的选择，但理想和现实之间的一个。

The Internet can be more useful! Listening to music, play games, watch TV, watch the news, shopping, check information, etc.

You see, I like to read books most of them are mothers from dangdang online to buy me, feet in those beautiful unless sneakers is my mom bought from taobao, things are also cheaper than the shop on the net, especially sitting at home can shopping.

Look at dad, he is listening to the music while next to go, but for me, sit at the computer chair eyes tightly staring at a computer screen, I was watching video on youtube. See the video on the Internet need not buy a CD, and show a lot too.

As soon as I met cannot solve the problem, I will open the computer, find the teacher for help, the Internet can be more learning in her belly, no matter what kind of problem wont him, I say he is a walking dictionary.

We all have a QQ number, we usually through QQ chat on the Internet is also attributed to the Internet?

Net actually is good and bad, basically see you how to use the Internet. If your parents quarrel was due to the computer, you also dont blame the computer, the computer not wrong, wrong is wrong in you dont use the Internet, the network can let us long knowledge, network also can let us understand each other, but the network is not let us have a unhealthy ideas. But also can not do a "net insect", much time online, the first is bad for your eyes, the computer radiation is very strong, long time is bad to the body, let us together to create a "green network"!

互联网的用处可多了!听歌、打游戏、看电视、看新闻、买东西、查资料等等。

你看，那些我喜欢看的书大部分都是妈妈从当当网上给我买的，脚上那双漂亮的四驱兄弟旅游鞋是妈妈从淘宝网上买的，网上的东西也比商店里的便宜，尤其是坐在家里就可以购物了。

再看爸爸，他正在一边听着音乐一边下着围棋，而我呢，坐在电脑椅上两眼紧紧盯着电脑屏幕，原来我是在优酷上看视频呢。互联网上看视频就不用买光盘了，而且节目也很多。

我一遇到解决不了的问题，就会打开电脑，找互联网老师帮忙了，他肚子里的学问可多了，不管什么样的难题都难不倒他，我称他为活字典。

想必大家都有QQ号吧，我们平时通过QQ上网聊天也是互联网的功劳呢。

其实网是有好有坏的，主要看你怎么使用网络。如果你被父母吵了是因为电脑的话，你也不要怪电脑，电脑没有错，错就错在你不会使用网络，网络可以让我们长知识，网络也可以让我们相互理解，但网络不是让我们有不健康的想法。不过，也不可以做一个“网虫”，上网时间多了，第一是对眼睛不好，第二电脑的辐射性很强，长时间对身体也不好，让我们一起来创造一个“绿色网络”吧!

I went to watch the movie Wolf warriors 2 today

I went to watch the movie Wolf warriors 2 today as I heard it was a big hit

in China. I am not the biggest fan of WuJing(the director and leading role of

the movie), but this movie he direct really impressed me. I have watched Wolf

Warrior which I would consider as a good movie, but II is way much better. It is

the first Chinese movie that is built on the context of African country and

actually shot in South Africa, bearing the risk of suffering the disturbance on

the set. The way the plot unfolds and the courage and patriotism is delivered to

its audience makes it more than a simple action movie. Love this movie and will

go for it a second time!

我今天去看了电影战狼2

当今天听到《战狼2》轰动了中国时，我就去看了这部电影。我不是吴京(这部电影的导演和主演)的死粉丝，但是他导演的这部战狼2真的令我印象深刻。我之前看过战狼，并且我认为这是不好电影，但是第二部简直是要好太多了。这是首部以非洲国家为背景的中国电影。整个剧组实际上冒着在片场遭遇动荡的风险在南非进行拍摄。情节的展开方式，以及片中体现出的勇气和爱国情怀都传递给了观众，这部电影不仅仅是一部简单的动作片。我爱这部电影，我决定将看第二遍!

Everyone has a lot of dreams. Some people want to be rich, dreaming of becoming millionaires overnight. Others want to be famous, dreaming of suddenly jumping to great fame. I have a lot of dreams,too. When I was a young girl, I dreamed of becoming a scientist like Hua Luogen in future.

However, I knew very well that I could not succeed without painstaking efforts. So I studied hard in the middle school and college in order to attain my goal.

After graduating from college, I found a job as a teacher.Although I was very busy with teaching, I never gave up my goal. I read a lot of books to get more knowledge. I made experiments to practise and apply what I had learnt from the books. Sometimes, I was so deeply indulged in my research that I forgot my meals and time. Now I have made great progress. Several of my research papers have been published. The methods proposed in my papers have been proven to be valuable for the solution of some problems. I am very happy.The ladder of becoming a scientist is still far ahead, but I have climbed the first rung anyway.

然而,我知道得很清楚,我不可能成功没有艰苦的努力。所以我努力学习在中学和大学为了实现我的目标。

大学毕业后,我找到了一个当老师的工作。虽然我很忙于教学,但我从不放弃我的目标。我读了很多书得到更多的知识。我做实验练习和运用我的所学的书。有时候,我是如此深深沉溺于我的研究,我忘了我的饭和时间。现在我已经取得了很大的进步。我的好几个研究论文发表。我的文件中提出的方法已经被证明是有价值的解决一些问题。我很高兴。梯子成为一名科学家仍遥遥领先,但我已经爬上了第一层。

“Why need our care?’

“Because from then on the aunt cannot do what they liked to along with her daughter. She is very pitiful. In her distress, making dinners and doing chores are also becoming so difficult. My dear, can you help Mother hit an idea to help the aunt in other ways?”

At her mother’s proposal, the girl thought for a long while. All of a sudden, she went to the neighbor and knocked at the door.

The neighbor with a look of haggardness and tiredness opened the door.

“What can I do for you?” asked the neighbor.

“I heard my mother say you’re very distressed for losing your daughter…” The girl timidly handed the band-aid tightly held in her hand to the neighbor.

The neighbor suddenly choked with sobs, her tears gushing from her eyes. She hugged the girl and said, “Thank you. This band-aid will cure my wound.”

“妈妈，您在忙什么呢?”还不到6岁的女孩，好奇的问妈妈。

“给邻居家的阿姨做饭。”

“为什么?”

“前几天阿姨失去了心爱的女儿，现在很伤心。我们这几天要好好照顾她。”

“为什么需要我们照顾呢?”

“阿姨以后不能和她女儿一起做他们喜欢做的事了，很可怜。人在极度悲伤时，做饭和料理家务也会变得很难。女儿，你能不能也帮妈妈想想其他能帮助阿姨做的事呢?”

女孩听到妈妈的提议，认真的思考了很久，突然走到邻居家敲响了门。

一脸憔悴和疲惫的邻居开了门。

“有什么事吗?”邻居问道。

“听妈妈说，您因为失去了女儿，非常痛苦……”女孩羞涩的把攥在手里的创可贴递给了邻居。

“阿姨，把这个贴在胸口吧，那样你的心就不会痛了。”

邻居突然哽咽起来，泪水夺眶而出。她抱住女孩说：“谢谢，这个创可贴会治好我的伤口的。”

Animals are humans good friends, we should take good care of them and protect them, but some people use them as toys and dishes...

动物是人类的好朋友，我们应该爱护它们、保护他们，可有些人却把它们当成了玩具和盘中餐……

先说玩具吧，许多小朋友，甚至一些大人，每次买了宠物，像小猫、小狗、金鱼……养在家里，把他们像玩具一样捉弄、戏弄，我想说：动物也是一条生命!它们也是有尊严的!还有，养小动物如果一时疏忽，有时会把他们弄生病，甚至死亡!

再说盘中餐吧，许多大人喜欢吃野生动物，像青蛙、蛇……这样，使得许多动物都灭绝了!而且对人体也有很大的危害!据说2003年“非典”就是因为这样引起的!我诚恳的告诫大家：“请大家不要再吃野生动物了!”

还有，许多人特别爱吃青蛙，所以有许多人为了赚钱，残忍的杀害了青蛙拉到菜市场去买……请问那些杀害青蛙的人，你们在杀害青蛙的同时，有没有想过，青蛙是人类的好朋友，他们能帮农民伯伯捉害虫、保护庄稼呢?

动物是人类的朋友，请大家保护动物吧!保护动物，人人有责!

难忘的回忆

Last summer holiday, I learned to swim. It was very unforgettable and interesting. I went to the swimming pool with my father. He taught me how to swim. At first, I was afraid of diving in the water. And I felt uncomfortable in the water. But father said it doesn’t matter and he would protect me. Then I began to swim, but I couldn’t swim forward at all. It made me upset. Then father told me how to move, how to stretch out my hands and legs. Slowly, I could move a little. In fact, it was not that easy. I learned it for almost half a month. I was excited when father told me I made it.

这篇内容是关于回忆的初中英语作文，讲述的是暑假去学游泳，我和爸爸去游泳池，他叫我怎么游的故事。

Christmas， annual Christian holiday commemorating the birth of Jesus Christ。 Most members of the Roman Catholic Church and followers of Protestantism celebrate Christmas on December 25， and many celebrate on the evening of December 24 as well。 Members of the Eastern Orthodox Church usually delay their most important seasonal ceremonies until January 6， when they celebrate Epiphany， a commemoration of the baptism of Jesus。 Epiphany also traditionally commemorates the arrival of the Three Wise Men of the East in Bethlehem （near Jerusalem， Israel）， where they adored the infant Jesus and presented him with gifts of gold， frankincense， and myrrh。 The official Christmas season， popularly known as either Christmastide or the Twelve Days of Christmas， extends from the anniversary of Christ’s birth on December 25 to the feast of Epiphany on January 6。  Christmas is based on the story of Jesus’ birth as described in the Gospel according to Matthew （see Matthew 1：18—2：12） and the Gospel according to Luke （see Luke 1：26—56）。 Roman Catholics first celebrated Christmas， then known as the Feast of the Nativity， as early as 336 ad。 The word Christmas entered the English language sometime around 1050 as the Old English phrase Christes maesse， meaning festival of Christ。 Scholars believe the frequently used shortened form of Christmas—Xmas—may have come into use in the 13th century。 The X stands for the Greek letter chi， an abbreviation of Khristos （Christ）， and also represents the cross on which Jesus was crucified。

12月25日，是基督教徒纪念耶稣诞生的日子，称为圣诞节。从12月24日于翌年1月6日为圣诞节节期。节日期间，各国基督教徒都举行隆重的纪念仪式。圣诞节本来是基督教徒的节日，由于人们格外重视，它便成为一个全民性的节日，是西方国家一年中最盛大的节日，可以和新年相提并论，类似我国过春节。西方人以红、绿、白三色为圣诞色，圣诞节来临时家家户户都要用圣诞色来装饰。红色的有圣诞花和圣诞蜡烛。绿色的是圣诞树。它是圣诞节的主要装饰品，用砍伐来的杉、柏一类呈塔形的常青树装饰而成。上面悬挂着五颜六色的彩灯、礼物和纸花，还点燃着圣诞蜡烛。红色与白色相映成趣的是圣诞老人，他是圣诞节活动中最受欢迎的人物。西方儿童在圣诞夜临睡之前，要在壁炉前或枕头旁放上一只袜子，等候圣诞老人在他们入睡后把礼物放在袜子内。在西方，扮演圣诞老人也是一种习俗。
