After this afternoon, I and my classmates are on duty, 43 bus ride home。 The car is very crowded, I can not easily find a seat, a bottom seat, you can have a good rest for a while。

However, the car just after a stop, there is a old man on the train, he probably slightly hunched, over sixty。 I immediately thought to give seats to the old, but thought, he managed to sit down, let the pity。

How do ah? In the end is to let do not let? I think, as a young pioneer, if lets me not, then how to the front of my red scarf?? cant think, I must let。 So I stood up and said: "Grandpa, you come to sit!" I saw my grandfather smiled, then slowly sat down, and said to me: "really good boy!"。

在古代,人们把六称为阴数,九称为阳数。九月九这一天,两阳相聚称之为“重阳”,这一天又叫做“老人节”,是我国一个历史悠久的节日。

今天下午,值勤过后,我就和同学一起坐43路车回家。车上很挤,我好不容易才找到一个座位,就一屁股坐下了,可以好好的休息一会了。

可是,车刚过了一站地,有一位老爷爷上车了,他微微驼背,大概六十多岁的 样子。我马上就想到了要给老人让座,但又转念一想,自己好不容易才坐下,让了怪可惜的。

怎么办啊?到底是 让还是不让?我想,身为一个少先队员,如果我不让的话,那又怎么对得起我胸前的红领巾呢?不能再想了,我一定要让。于是,我站起来,说:“爷爷,您来坐吧!”只见爷爷笑了笑,然后慢慢地坐下,并对我说:“真是好孩子!”我听了以后,心里也乐了,因为我做到了。

虽然我失去了一个供我休息的座位,但是,我却得到了表扬的话语和愉快的心情,这是多么快乐呀!

尊老爱幼是我们中华民族的传统美德,我们一定要让这种精神继续发扬光大!

我,从小学到初中,在别人的印象中一直都是一个特别文静的女生,几乎不与人交谈,甚至跟别人说起话来不觉让人误以为有口吃,要么声音小的跟蚊子声音一样,就算贴着嘴,都不知道在讲什么,因为有时候我连发音都不是很准。

然而进入高中,语言交流的重要性也逐然可见,而自己也心知肚明,像这一类人,出去也不会有人会聘用,即使分数再怎么高,初中时老师也不知道提醒了多少次。

当踏入新的环境时,心里不免犯嘀咕,真不知道此后的日子将会怎样,我能做的,只有要所有的勇气拿出来,在宿舍,出乎我意料的是,没过一小时我就与她们融为一体,大家高兴的前俯后仰,从前的自己也像是天空的云,下一场雨就不见了。

在班级里,第一次的自我介绍犹使我紧张,听着台上的声音,心中不免紧张起来,就像天空快要倒塌一样,轮到我的时候,地球就像转了半个世纪一样,心也不觉得砰砰的响,声音都能听见。

当时只记得在紧张时说出的话令我十分的尴尬,因为在场的同学每一个听清,心中也不免打了个寒颤,但是反应过来,自己已经变了一个人,所有的恐惧都消失了,但走向讲台胆量就像用光了似的,很想问别人自己介绍的怎么样,但又无法开口。

直到铃声再次响起,听到刚交的朋友说还不错,心中就像有一个太阳似的,开始还哆嗦的身体突然温暖起来。

我无法忘记,从今天开始,我又是另一种面庞,虽然看起来文静,但实际上心比谁都要活跃。

人生总会有第一次,但这一次改变让我感到又向成功跨进了一步。

Hello, everyone. I’m am a student in No.1 Middle School. I’m very proud that I have been chosen to speak to you all today.How to protect/save our environment/world?

The environmental pollution is worse and worse /more and more seriously today. Water is polluted ,we have no clean water to drink Many trees are cutting down, some animals is getting less and less.Some factories is poring dirty air in the sky , the population is increasing faster and faster ,resources is getting less and less…etc. Not only does it affect our lives and health, it also has a great affection in the future.

The first fact I worry about is noise pollution. People can"t sleep well if there is too much noise. That"s why so many people prefer to live in the countryside rather than live in the noisy city. I suggest all the factories and cars shouldn"t make terrible noises. If they make terrible noise that isn"t allowed, they will be fined, and we can also produce the cars which can"t make terrible noise.

The other pollution is rubbish pollution. If everyone makes so much rubbish, one day we may live in a world filled with rubbish. Some people throw the waste paper about. I suggest rubbish should be put into different kinds of dustbins or paper bags.

The qingming (Pure Brightness) Festival is one of the 24 seasonal division points in China, falling on April 4-6 each year. After the festival, the temperature will rise up and rainfall increases. It is the high time for spring plowing and sowing. But the qingming Festival is not only a seasonal point to guide farm work, it is more a festival of commemoration.

The qingming Festival sees a combination of sadness and happiness.

This is the most important day of sacrifice. Both the Han and minority ethnic groups at this time offer sacrifices to their ancestors and sweep the tombs of the diseased. Also, they will not cook on this day and only cold food is served.

The Hanshi (Cold Food) Festival was usually one day before the qingming Festival. As our ancestors often extended the day to the qingming, they were later combined.

On each qingming Festival, all cemeteries are crowded with people who came to sweep tombs and offer sacrifices. Traffic on the way to the cemeteries becomes extremely jammed. The customs have been greatly simplified today. After slightly sweeping the tombs, people offer food, flowers and favorites of the dead, then burn incense and paper money and bow before the memorial tablet.

In contrast to the sadness of the tomb sweepers, people also enjoy hope of Spring on this day. The qingming Festival is a time when the sun shines brightly, the trees and grass become green and nature is again lively. Since ancient times, people have followed the custom of Spring outings. At this time tourists are everywhere.

People love to fly kites during the qingming Festival. Kite flying is actually not limited to the qingming Festival. Its uniqueness lies in that people fly kites not during the day, but also at night. A string of little lanterns tied onto the kite or the thread look like shining stars, and therefore, are called "gods lanterns."

The qingming Festival is also a time to plant trees, for the survival rate of saplings is high and trees grow fast later. In the past, the qingming Festival was called "Arbor Day". But since 1979, "Arbor Day" was settled as March 12 according to the Gregorian calendar.
