Cellular phones have had a major impact on our lives and the way that we

perform every day tasks. Many of these changes are apparent, while others we may

not even be aware of.

Cell phones have brought a whole new meaning to the term multitasking.

Twenty years ago, it was not possible to talk to the office while you were at

the grocery store picking up some necessary items. You could never have had a

three-way business conference while you were fixing dinner or been able to deal

with a business client from home while caring for a sick child. Cell phones have

enabled us to do various tasks all at the same time.

Cell phones have also enabled families to keep in closer touch with each

other. Children can contact you if they have missed their ride form soccer

practice and your spouse can call while he is stuck in traffic to let you know

that he is going to be late for supper. Teenagers are able to call to ask

permission to go somewhere, and with GPS features that are now available on some

cell phones, you are able to check to make sure that they are where they are

suppose to be.

Many of these advantages we do not even notice. Have you ever arrived at

the grocery store and realized that you have forgotten your grocery list? The

first thing you would probably do is to call home and have one of your children

read the list off to you. In the same situation in past years, you may have

forgotten things or have had to drive all the way back home to get it. If your

car breaks down, you automatically call for help instead of having to walk to

find a pay phone. Cell phones have certainly made our lives much more

convenient.

Cell phones have also changed the way that people interact with each other.

When we call someone, we are actually calling the person and not a place. This

enables us to be more spontaneous when making plans as you rarely get a busy

signal and unlike a land line telephone, someone is always home. Cell phones

also enable us to call if we are going to be late for an appointment, although

this has led to cell phone users running late more often than those who do not

have cell phones. These users seem to have adopted the attitude that appointment

times are not concrete and use their cell phones to renegotiate their arrival

time.

One of the greatest disadvantages of the cellular phone is the fact that we

do not talk to strangers when traveling anymore. In the past, several people

waiting for a bus would engage in a conversation while they were waiting. People

who traveled the same routes every day might develop friendships along the way.

This situation does not happen anymore. Today when people are waiting for a bus,

they just pull out their cell phones and speak with old friends, missing out on

the opportunity to make new ones. In large cities, many people do not know their

neighbors, even though they may have lived in the same neighborhood for years.

As a society, we are beginning to lose the face-to-face contact that was such an

important part of our lives in the past.

Cell phones are a great asset in aiding in our every day lives. You should

remember, however, to hang up every once in a while and pay attention to the

world around you.

My hometown, a village locating beside a small river, is a wonderful place

with beautiful scenery surrounded. Because of the poor geographical environment

and without an asphalt road, the whole village is poor and people’s lives are

tough. Generally, people grow rice and some other crops for a living. Most young

people work at the city, leaving their parents and children at home, which is

the status of the vast majority of rural area. It seems that only in this way

can rural people live a better life.

There are four seasons in a year, spring means reborn, the trees become green and the flowers get boom. In the summer, the weather is hot while in the autumn, the weather is cool, the winter means cold. Among the four seasons, I like the winter best, though it is cold, I enjoy the weather.

What’s more, I can play the snow, I like to build all kinds of snowmen, I play with my friends, we are enjoying the moment. I like winter so much, it brings me so much happiness.

一年有四个季节，春天意味着重生，树木变得油绿，花儿争相开放。在夏天，天气变得炎热，然而在秋天，天气变得凉爽，冬天意味着冷。在这四个季节当中，我最喜欢冬天，虽然那很冷，我喜欢那样的天气。我不用忍受炎热的天气，当我睡觉的时候，被窝的暖气让我觉得很舒服，我睡得很舒服。而且，我可以拿雪来玩，我喜欢堆各种各样的雪人，我和朋友们一起玩，我们享受着这个时刻。我很喜欢冬天，它给我带来了很多的乐趣。

最近关注的一个公众号每天都更新一篇新概念英语的课文，课文下面还有文章里应该掌握的语法，然后还有具体的翻译，每天都会准时更新。有好的意见还可以告诉小编。

以前的英语老师也给我们抄过新概念英语，每周一篇，必须背的。现在看着公众号的文章，能有印象的很少，都忘记了。忘记的还有以前老师的名字。

已经三年了，其实有些想念以前的英语老师。她对我们很好，我们也都喜欢她，每隔一周老师就会给我们放英文电影，看电影的同时还能学学口语和发音。

老师上课的时候也很认真，语法讲的也很详细，以前的英语笔记我现在也保存着，厚厚的一本，也可以算是我的宝典了吧，老师每讲一课单词，都会拓展，每周周三和周五是固定的考单词的日子，老师会叫两名同学在黑板上写，每桌写一次，如果座位上的同学抬头看了黑板就不用继续考了，就直接补考，老师的补考就是晚自习的时候在走廊里听写。

虽然她要求的严了一些，但是那段时间我的英语成绩确实很好，只要跟住老师，英语成绩就不会差，后来老师因为教的好，被别的学校挖走了。

不知道她现在怎么样，如果我看见她的话，一定会大声喊“英语老师！”

Hello,my name is jhon.My favorite animals are cat. Because they very cute. They can paly with me. They are my friden and they can gave me very happy. They are yellow , write and black. Many people all live them. I thing they are healhy. Can you tell me about your favorite animals?

As it is known to us all, there are 55 minority groups in China, each with its traditional customs, costumes and culture. Now let’s take a look at the Tibetan Minority.

The Tibetan Minority group live in Qinghai, Gansu, Sichuan and Yunnan Province. And the highest ridge in the world─beautiful and mysterious Tibet is their major habitat .

As the fertilized prairie stretches around the habitants as far as the eyes can see, most people live on animal husbandry, raising sheep, goats, cattle and growing a special kind of plant called Qingke. On account of the unique climate, people often wear warm and comfortable boots in winter, and they are always dressed in delicate robes which are made of the fur of sheep. Often they take off one sleeve of the clothes and tie it around their waists in order to work easily and use it as warm quilts at night.

Both men and women there like wearing silver ornaments, which look very mysterious and full of magical power. And they are good at singing and dancing, and the men there can have braids too. When they meet an important guest, they will present him or her a Hada, a piece of long white silk cloth to show their respect. And they will also treat the guest to a special kind of drink called Suyou Tea, which some people find hard to enjoy.

Besides, the habitants have developed both their own written and spoken languages, and the long poems they wrote play an important role in Chinese literature. And there are many well-protected culture relics as well, taking the grand Budala Palace as an example. It is a historical museum as well as an art treasury, where people can share their spirit belief in Buddhism and get artistic entertainment of the carved paintings and the beautifully-written chirographies.

The Tibetan ethnic group is also famous for its strange custom in funeral. Thinking that the soul belongs to the sky after a person dies, they usually put the body on a platform outdoors, spray on it and wait the condors to come to eat the body. In this way, they believe the soul goes up to the sky.

The Tibetan Minority is brimming over with deep emotions. The people there are very zealous and hospitable and they live freely and happily on the spacious grassland. Their history and culture contribute to the diversity of China, so we certainly should protect them and get them popularized and let them receive great respect they deserve.

Everyone has pressure, as long as you have things done or to heart, the pressure will go unnoticed in the attachment in the mans body, cause all sorts of "symptoms", for example: cant sleep, reduce appetite, or in a bad mood... And so on.

My pressure is not home after finish homework cant write, often busy to midnight; Dads pressure is accounting work done; Mothers pressure because he was a career woman, a candle burning at both ends and worry cant give attention to both family and work is good, and her sisters pressure is myopic degree increased very fast, it is difficult to control.

Pressure are not necessarily bad, there are also some is good. The rules in our class, for example: not diligent student didnt change class will not be able to finish homework, because of the pressure, a heartbreaker for these people, finally they decided to change my homework finished, also get real learning, no longer look for excuses to slack off. So the pressure is often motivates us go forward.

Large and small pressure exists in our life, we should be appropriate to adjust the mood, the pressure into power, so as to let the life become more colorful.

人人都有压力，只要有事情做不完或想不开时，压力就会神不知鬼不觉的附着在那个人的身上，引起各种“症状”，例如：睡不着觉、食欲降低或心情不好……等。

我的压力是补习回家后功课写不完，常常忙到三更半夜;爸爸的压力是会计工作做不完;妈妈的压力是因为他身为职业妇女，一只蜡烛两头烧，担心家庭跟工作没办法兼顾好，而姐姐的压力是近视的度数增加的非常快，很难控制。

压力不一定都是坏的，也有一些是好的。以我们班上的规定为例：不用功的学生没改完作业就不能下课，因为这个压力，让这些人伤透了脑筋，最后他们终于决定把作业改完，也获得真正的学习，不再找借口偷懒。所以压力常常会督促着我们勇往直前。

大大小小的压力存在我们的生活当中，我们应该适当的调适心情，把压力化为助力，这样才能让生活变得多采多姿。

it.

Dads cell phone also has the function of taking pictures. At noon, the

whole family gathered around the dining table to have a meal. I took a picture

of everyone, so that my grandfather, grandmother, father and mother looked at

their appearance. They all laughed, and I also laughed.

When I grow up, I want to buy a better cell phone than dads.

River bend around a few, through my door, that is born I keep my place -

the metro. Metro is a beautiful place, as a handsome township of children, we

should say loudly: "metro is a good place!"

Metro beautiful scenery. In front of the metro is water, is behind the

mountain, under the blue sky white clouds, mountains, everywhere is tall tower,

all is wide asphalt road. Binjiang road but also the beautiful scenery line of

metro. Long corridor, clean the pavilion, also with many beautiful flowers all

the year round, everywhere with a light faint scent, let people leisure mood is

particularly happy. Binjiang road is very long and it is said that its length is

dozens of times longer than a train! In binjiang road east, there is a large

square, it is the famous marshal RongZhen square. Marshal statue stands in the

east side, every day to protect the children of handsome township. In the bottom

of the square is the metro music fountain, every Friday, Saturday, Sunday.

People mountain people sea here, and all the people gather here from all

directions, watch the wonderful and magical fountain, make you unconsciously

with the music, such as into the wonderland in the colorful spray. In pieces of

screams, cool water mist spill in your face, when you will suddenly wake up, a

fountain there are movies.

In metro east side, there is a second Yangtze river bridge, it is currently

the only car sharing with light rail bridge in chongqing. It is not only a

bright spot of the metro and metros masterpiece. Metro is rapid economic

development, it is with chongqing, before is no longer that little city!

dahongpao orange, etc. Among them, my favorite food is dahongpao orange. Because

of it, a sour sweet. Gently bite and juices flowing, sings full flesh,

Often times it just seems like something too far out of reach.Nothing in

the word is difficult for one who sets his mind to it.Everyone wishes to be

successful in life.

In my eyes, opportunity is a part of success. Many great people found great

things by chance. It is true some successes can be won because of unexpected

help and findings.

Opportunities don’t come often.They come quietly and often go by without

being noticed.

In fact, many opportunities have been lost on the wan to success. so , it

is necessary that we should treat opportunities with care. An opportunity just

brings a promise but never realizes it on its own. Only by working hard, making

great efforts and getting prepared, wil we catch the coming opportunity get to

our goal.

Different poople have different views on success. Some hold that making a

great deal of money means success. Others argue that holding an important post

in the government means success. Still others believe that having a high

academic title at a famous university or a research institute means success.

In my opinion, success means brilliant achievement in our work. In other

words, no matter what we do, making outstanding contributions to the development

of our country and bringing help and happiness to others is success.

To achieve success, we should ,first of all, have a clear long-term goal in

our life. Second ,we be both perseverant and hardworking. Whatever we do, there

are always two possibilities: success and failure. We should never lose heart

when we come across difficulties or when we are confronted with failure.

Instead, we should learn from our experience, build up our confidence and work

even harder and smarter towards our purpose. Third ,we should follow the

examples of those who are successful and learn from them. Finally ,we should try

to get along well with our classmates and colleagues. We should care each other

and help each other in our study, our work and our life, because work is of

great importance in the realization of our dream.

If we can follow these principles, we will certainly achieve remarkable

success in our life.

The summer vacation in my eyes is happy, happy, long, rich, and

interesting... Before the exam, we always look forward to the summer vacation,

thinking of the summer vacation without the teachers accusation, no pile of

homework, no... If the summer vacation is the sky, I am a little bird, swirling

in the blue sky, sometimes rushes to the skies, and sometimes plays with the

clouds. If the summer vacation is the sea, I am the fish, rushes through the

coral rapidly, and excitedly rushes out of the water.

Im a little bookworm, usually only busy with study, no more free time to

read books, to the summer vacation, I can take a lot of time to read, and I can

eat the food, I can take a lot of time to read books in the library, but can put

their love of books borrowed home, in the sea of books tour.

I love swimming, swimming is the best exercise exercise, usually to a

class, homework, we take exercise time, to the summer, well, I can swim freely

in the water. Therefore, I go swimming every day, swimming can exercise the

body, and can take the summer.

It is because of the summer vacation, so I had plenty of time to go to the

library to study their interest in natural and scientific knowledge, and friends

to go swimming, despite that never seems to listen to the endless course, not

finish homework, we have time, we can do something meaningful and happy what

summer is really very good!

When we have nothing to do and are in a daze, many of us would have thought

about how we would be in ten years. Looking the rain outside the window, I

couldn’t help imagining myself ten years later. Ten years later, I don’t need to

wear school uniform any more, instead of many beautiful dress and some sexy

clothes. I would be a famous fashion designer. It must be very wonderful to go

around the world, hold large number of fashion show. How great it is!
