Dad took the lighter, lit the fuse, set off firecrackers. " Crackling " sound of loud sound of firecrackers into my ears, I hastened to cover your ears. For a while, firecrackers finished, I took out my fluorescence stick, lit with a lighter, waved play. The fluorescence rod traces, like a meteor across the sky, lit up my heart.

Environmental Pollution

Write a passage with the words and phrases given:

the problem of pollution, cause, artificial substances, release, waste products, industrial production, consumption of goods, bring it under control, agriculture, chemical substancea.

Environmental Pollution

I read a piece of news recently. It says that in Japan marly businessmen ave selling fresh air to customers.and now it is becoming more and more popular. Why? --Fresh air is getting less and less in Japan, and so is it in the U. S. A.

In fact, environmental pollution is a very serious problem the whole world is facing.

it is mainly caused by the waste products released from artificial substances, industrial

production and increased consumption of goods. Bedsides, the use of chemical substances

in agriculture also causes environmental pollution. Look at the sky, you can see that dense smoke is being released from the high and big chimneys; those dirty and poisonous substances are flowing into the rivers that we use for drinking water and millions of tons of waste products are heaping around us.

How to change this condition? More and more countries are trying to work out some effective means to bring it under control, but no great success has been made.

环境污染

最近我读了一则消息说在日本,许多商人向顾客出售新鲜空气,现在这种情况越演越烈,Environmental Pollution-环境污染,四六级写作《Environmental Pollution-环境污染》。为什么呢? 因为在日本新鲜空气越来越少,在美国也是如此。

事实上,环境污染是整个世界正在面临的一个严重问题。这主要是由于人造物质,工业生产过程中所产生的废料以及消费商品的增长造成的。另外,在农业中使用化学物品也造成了环境污染。看看天空,你可以看到浓烟从高大的烟囱中释放出来,这些脏而有毒的物质流入我们赖以饮水的河流,数百万吨废物正堆积在我们周围。

怎样改变这种状况呢?越来越多的国家正在试图拟定出一些有效措施控制环境污染,但至今成效不大。

(1) How Do People in My Hometown Observe Spring Festival

(2) My College Life ---- A Summary of the First Term in Zhejiang

Gongshang University

Spring Festival in my Hometown

The Spring Festival, the most jubilant and important festival in China, is observed by most Chinese people at home and abroad. Our hometown is not an exception.

Similar with other places in china, we prepare for the festival about half a month before. With the lunar New Year approaching, the red lanterns are hung up along the main streets, making the ancient town filled with the festival atmosphere. While people clean up their houses, decorate it with traditional decorations such as Chinese knots and paper cutting. Each family pastes up Spring Festival couplets to convey their best wishes for the coming year.

On the New Year’s Eve, the whole family sits around, having a

sumptuous feast of reunion. It is worth mentioning that the food we have called maiyouzhi is unique. There is a flat piece of wheat sheet covering various vegetable and meat then rolling them up. What a delicious it is! After dinner, the family always watches the Spring Festival Gala Evening, and sets up fireworks to watch in the New Year.

On the first day of the New Year, people pay visits to the relatives and friends to send New Year’s greetings to each other and wish everything smoothly in the new year. The kids can get a lot of lucky money from the elders.

During the whole holiday, there are varied activities in the town such as lion and dragon dance, and all the citizens enjoy them very much.

People celebrate the festival until the Lantern festival. However, the wonderful memory and the joy of the Spring Festival will last long.

It’s really my honor to be part of Zhejiang Gongshang University.

My College Life

How time flies! I have been in Zhejiang Gongshang University for a semester. In retrospect, my college life is busy but colorful. Different from my senior high school’s life, the whole new life I led is much freer. I arranged my time,

becoming the master of myself.

First of all, study is still the core of my life. I major in Japanese which is both interesting and challenging. We are required to be accomplished in listening, speaking, reading, writing and translating. As a result I had to spend most of time in improving my abilities. Besides of the regular courses, I often attended the lecture and went to the library to eich my knowledge, and I do benefit from what I learnt.

As to the after school life, what I consider most meaningful is joining the YVP to serve society. I think it is the responsibility for every university student to make contribution to the community. Little as my effort is, I tried my best to help the people around us. Once the YVP organized us to sell secondhand books and raise the money to help the people indeed.

In addition, I quite enjoy the travels and the bees. Travels let me experience the sunshine, fresh air as well as the special taste of the local customs and practices. While the bees keep the friendship shining, and friends are as if family members. Both of them lit up my life.

All in all, the college life is a journey, and I have long way to go; all the memory is the most precious treasure, and I will value every moment.

Winter is like your room, if you can clean it very well, you will like it, but if you throw things in a mess, you dont want to know, you must hate it. "Winter" is the same, you use a good attitude to look at it, you will definitely like me, step by step slowly falling in love with the "different winter".

I like winter, because only winter can make trees appear different styles. From spring and summer to autumn, leaves are always changing and changing. But winter can make trees become bare. I like to accompany my brother to practice football with my family in winter, not only to make my body warm, but also to give my brother an opportunity to practice more. There are also, in winter, I dont know if you have noticed that mosquitoes are missing a lot. At last, they can make me calm down and do well in homework. This is also a great benefit of winter. The last reason is my favorite, the family out to buy Hot pot material, in supermarkets to all of a sudden to the streams of people busily coming and going, in winter, many fewer people, do not have to queue for a check out, is really good, in the winter, the whole family sitting around the round table, each other help each other to resist the cold wind up, this feeling is only a winter feel, together with my family, so hot fireplace, warm atmosphere, in addition to "winter", any season cant taste good.

Anyway, there are also its shortcomings in winter. Of course, there are cold and cold currents that make the nose and water direct. They will make us want to hide in the quilt, but occasionally, this is not a bad thing. In a word, I like it in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and each season has its own characteristics, of which, winter is a very special one. But every trip to winter makes me feel different.

冬季”就像你的房间,如果能整理的很干净,自己就会喜欢它;但如果你把东西丢的乱七八糟,那不用想也知道,你一定很讨厌它。“冬季”也是一样,你用好的心态去看待它,你绝对会如同我,一步一步的慢慢爱上那“不一样的冬季”。

我喜欢冬季,因为只有冬季,能使树木出现不一样的风格,从春天、夏天在到秋天,叶子都一直变多、变色,但“冬季”却能让树木成为光秃秃的一片。我喜欢在冬季与家人一同去陪弟弟练足球,不仅让我的身体变暖和,也给弟弟多一次练习的机会呢!还有还有,在冬季时,不知道你有没有发现,蚊子顿时少了很多,总算能让我静下心来好好写功课了,这也是冬季的一大好处唷!最后一个理由也是我最喜爱的原因了,全家一起出动去买火锅料,在员来熙熙攘攘的大卖场,一下子到了冬季,人少了许多,结帐都不必排队排个大老远,真是不错,在冬季,全家人一起围着圆桌,互相帮对方把冷飕飕的风给抵挡起来了,这种感觉也只有冬季感受的到 了,和家人一起围炉,如此这般热融融的气氛,是除了“冬季”之外,任何一季都品尝不到的好滋味。

反正不管怎么说,当然冬季也有它的缺点,像是有冷到令人鼻水直流的寒流等,都会使我们想躲在被窝里不要出来,但偶尔这样,也不是件坏事吧!总而言之,春夏秋冬我都喜欢,每一季都有它的特色,其中,冬季是很特别的一个喔!但是每经过一趟“冬之旅”,都让我有不同的感受。

“嘭,嘭,嘭”,自打早上7点钟,就一直有鞭炮想和天空来个“亲密接触”,迫不及待的去飞翔;我们也毫不逊色,穿上了新衣服,来迎接这个除旧迎新节日——春节

打开门,一片热闹的景象:家家户户那明亮的窗户上贴上了美丽的窗花,大门上的春联像士兵一样守护在每家的门旁,人们更是乐开了怀:大人们个个拿出了自己的绝活,有的炒菜,有的摆碗筷,有的放鞭炮,还唠着家常;而小孩们则在一旁玩耍,好不热闹!

告诉你,这些都不是重点,到了晚上,真正的表演才算开始!

晚上6点的时候,家家都做好了可口的饭菜,我家也一样:油焖大虾,糖醋鱼,炸鸡,红烧牛肉……还要说祝福的话,象征着吉祥。

到了8:30,晚会就开始了,一家人围在电视旁,吃着前些天买来的干果,说说家常,和一些新鲜的所见所闻,一派其乐融融的景象……
