apricot trees are full of trees. The morning dew sticks to the apricot, which

makes it look lovely and inviting. From time to time, a few fat sparrows were

coming, and standing in the trees, chirping and whispering to each other; Or one

我的美丽家乡是淄博市，那里有许多好玩的地方。张店公园是我最喜欢的地方，我经常去那里去玩。

公园里面有一个湖，清清的湖水里有许多好看的鱼，有大红色的、红黄色的、白色的、金色的，还有黑色的。只要往湖里撒上一点鱼料，一群鱼就都围过来了，湖水就变成了一幅五颜六色的图画。我看小鱼吃得非常香，我就高兴地离开了。

现在来到的这个地方,是我最喜欢的儿童乐园。那里有很多好玩的项目，秋千、单杠、跷跷板、滑梯，还有实木攀登和迷宫，我和爸爸妈妈经常在这里比赛。

我又来到一个小山上，看见上面有一个小亭子，小亭子四面都有风，很凉快。我在上面休息了一下，就离开了公园。

其实，像张店公园这样既美丽又好玩的景点，在淄博可不止一处哦!我喜欢公园，我爱美丽家乡。

我的家乡在连云港，近几年发生了很大的变化。就拿我家来说吧。

去年，我们家买了空调。以前，在冬天没有空调，起床穿衣服，我总藏在被窝里。现在有了空调，起来穿衣服就不会感冒了。在夏天没有空调时，能把人热得发闷，不想活动。现在，在夏天有了空调，无论在什么时候，只要一开空调，调成冷风，会觉的非常凉爽，像置身于凉爽的森林一样。

今年夏天，我们家还添了电冰箱。以前，夏天的东西经常会坏，坏了就扔了，多可惜。现在电冰箱可以冷藏食品，食品放在冰箱里不会坏。它可以给我制作冰块。我补课回来，我就冷冻一个冰块让我解渴。冰箱给我家带来了方便。 爸爸还买了电脑。我总在电脑上帮妈妈打文章。我自己还用文件夹，存了动画片、日记、作文等。我还用它看文学名著。用它学英语、装软件，打游戏……妈妈就用它制卷子、打词语。电脑给我家带来了许多方便。

最近，大部分家里人的电脑都上了因特网。以前，没有互联网，现在想投稿或有事只要发一个伊妹儿，就可以把作文投上去，把信寄了出去。妈妈还在网上买很多物美价廉的东西。互联网也给我们带来了方便。

啊！我的家乡变化真大呀！

我的挚友

我最好的朋友是我的同学李艳。她有一双大眼睛，长头发梳成了辫子。脸上时常有甜甜的微笑，使她显得更加活泼。

李艳很聪明，学习很好，两次获得学校的奖学金，她是我学习上的榜样。她告诉我说我们应该充分利用时间。

李艳很热心，乐于助人，班里同学学习上有困难，都喜欢找她带忙。但她不喜欢别人夸奖她，因为她认为她做的很普通。

我为拥有这样的好朋友而感到骄傲。

说起我的家乡——徐州这边过春节的事，那真是太有意思了！我们喜欢把过春节说成是“过年”，而且是“红红火火过大年”。

“买年货”是最最重要的。每到过年，妈妈都会把家里的大冰箱塞得满满的，鸡、鱼、肉、蛋、蔬菜、水果应有尽有，我们徐州人过年讲究年年有余，准备食品那是多多益善。另外就是要给全家人添置新衣，当然购买春联、鞭炮等喜庆物品也是必不可少的。

其次给我印象最深的就是“除尘”，其实就是“大扫除”。妈妈会提前一个月就开始打扫卫生，把家里里里外外、从上到下，全部擦洗一遍，而我一有时间就被抓去帮忙，每次都把我累得腰酸腿疼！妈妈说，这就叫辞旧迎新。哎！

贴“春联”和贴“福”字这两个活也是我的，得大年初一一大早就贴上。“福”字还得倒着贴，意思是“福到了”。屋里屋外、门上墙上，到处都是大大小小的“福”字，显得很是喜庆，寄托了我们徐州人民对幸福生活的向往。

“放鞭炮”和“拜年”是我最最喜欢的了。响炮、花炮，长的、短的，别人不敢放的我都敢放。拜年！那是为了赚“压岁钱”，每年这时候我都是满载而归！特“爽”！

说到“守岁”，那我可就是“说话的巨人，行动的矮子”了，一过了十二点，就困得上下眼皮直打架，早把自己说过的话丢到九霄云外去了！

最后就到了元宵节。吃元宵（我们徐州人叫吃“汤圆”，是团圆的意思）、点花灯、猜灯谜是我们徐州的习俗。我的书柜里有一个用面做的“老鼠灯”，是小时候带我的保姆奶奶给我做的，惟妙惟肖，活灵活现，真是神奇极了！

过完了元宵节，春节才算真正过完了。而每年的这时，我都是意犹未尽，真恨不得再重来一遍，没有办法，只好掰着手指头盼着下一个春节快点到来！

在噼里啪啦的鞭炮声中，我们迎来了新春佳节。今年新春佳节我们提前回到奶奶家，除夕之夜，大家聚在一起热热闹闹，好不开心。团圆饭过后，我们几个小孩决定包饺子给大家吃。过年包饺子本来是北方人的习俗，但今天我们也兴一兴这个习俗。

一开始，堂哥和面，堂姐准备肉馅。看着堂哥用力的来回揉压面团，我们也跃跃欲试。但是他觉得我们太小，不够力气，就没让我们掺和。到面和好后，他却犯难了——原来他试做的几个饺子皮根本不象饺子皮的样：有些又大又厚，有些又太小太薄。这时，我跳出来说：“让我试试！”我心里想，堂哥力气大也是个麻烦，这下可以看我的了。我先从大面团里分出几份小的，然后用擀面杖开始擀，不快不慢，不轻不重。不久，那一团团小面粉在我手下成了一块块形状相近，厚薄适中的饺子皮。堂哥看着这些圆圆的饺子皮，脸上露出了惊讶的表情。

刚好，堂姐从厨房里端出准备好的饺子馅，为了节约时间我们决定边做饺子皮，边包饺子。于是，一边，堂弟帮我把面团分成一小份一小份，我只负责擀饺子皮；另一边，堂哥堂姐也在合作，一人放肉馅一人用饺子器包饺子。由于他们那边用上了饺子器，包饺子的速度很快，一开始我们这边还差点跟不上。可是我们也不甘示弱，我找出一套擀饺子的更好方法，加上堂弟的帮忙，速度也越来越快，最后竟然还超过了他们包饺子的速度。

等所有面团都擀完，一共包了六十多个饺子。水一烧开，我们就把饺子一个个下锅。之前我们还担心饺子下锅后会煮烂，那样我们花的工夫就会白费。但这些担心是多余的，饺子出锅了！不仅没有烂，而且一个个圆鼓鼓的，香喷喷的，令人垂涎三尺。我们把饺子分好，配上热汤，端给大人们吃。他们一个个都夸口称赞，我们的心里也乐滋滋的！

经过今天这次包饺子，我知道了一分耕耘一分收获，知道了父母平常的辛劳，更明白了只有劳动最光荣。

I -- a lively and cheerful handsome young boy, self-introduction composition. A ball like a ball face, a pair of sincere big eyes, revealing my usual some naughty, wearing sportswear is my favorite. But the fly in the ointment is that they are short.

I am a very outgoing person. Although I am a little naughty, I have a sense of justice. On one occasion, I saw a beggar on the side of the road beg for a fashionable young lady, but was scolded by the young lady. I watched, piranhas blunt go up, angrily said to her: "old woman was poor, ask you for money, you can find a reason to refuse, why do this to old woman? Yes, you are rich and outwardly beautiful, but your heart is ugly. At this time, other people around, the big sister hurriedly cover the face hurriedly walk, the primary school 5th grade composition "self-introduction composition". I quickly gave my mother my pocket money to my grandma. I left quietly in the admiration of the people around me.

I have a wide range of hobbies, such as long-distance running, high jump, long jump and football. I love all these extracurricular activities. But riding a scooter on the weekend is my favorite, it brings me endless fun. After finishing my homework every weekend, I would drag my mother to the amusement park to play, at least two hours. One of the best, I wore two pairs of shoes in two weeks.

Read this, you will think I am very naughty, naughty. However, I have to work harder in my study because of my usual craziness, so as to ensure my academic performance goes up in a straight line. This semester, I also worked as the class monitor in the class, the teacher so valued me, I will redouble efforts.

I am a 10 years old boy. Smart and handsome.

I am proud of myself. Because I can get perfect scores in Chinese, math and English. It is not good enough, I am also proud of being an elder brother. That is a Friday evening, my baby brother was crying all the time. My parents were both cooking for dinner. I said to my mum, let me look after this little thing. My mum said, Are you sure you can?  Yes ,believe me I can. I answered. Then mum went to the kitchen. I went towards my baby brother.  Oh baby, dont cry. I will sing a song for you I carried him and sing songs for him. After a while, he was asleep. I was so tired. My parents were happy and praised me a good boy.

This is my first time to look after my baby brother and I feel proud of myself.

I am a lovely little girl, although I am 9 years old, but the understanding of the animal makes you cant believe a ferocious tiger, strange Chinese sturgeon, a giant pandas, a naughty dolphins, with the lion king of the forest, a sly fox, and clever monkey in these animals, my favorite animal is the white rabbit, the rabbit is a common animal, but I saw a small white rabbit remembered in the snow in the joy! Because I like rabbits, so I know it very well!

小白兔长得很普通，雪白雪白的毛儿，非常漂亮，要是下雪，动物们一定以为白兔是雪中小精灵。长长的耳朵，像黑宝石的眼睛，还有一张三瓣嘴，宛如听了什么笑话，笑得嘴都裂开了。

The rabbit is very common, white hair, very beautiful, if it were to snow white, animal must think snow elves. Long ears, black stones like the eyes, and a three valve mouth, like to listen to what a joke, grin cracked.

我猜白兔长得不特别是因为它吃得不好，吃一些萝卜或者青菜，我就搞不懂它为什么不吃肉呀?如果我是白兔，我就吃肉，不吃萝卜。

I guess the rabbit isnt particularly because it is not good to eat, eat some carrots or cabbage, I do not know why it does not eat meat? If I was a rabbit, I eat meat, do not eat radish.

我很喜欢兔子，所以小时候妈妈给我买了一只可爱的小白兔，可惜它在我家只过了一天就死了，还记得那天中午，妈妈买了青菜，我就拼命地把菜往小白兔的笼子里塞，白兔狼吞虎咽地大吃起来，好像一个星期没吃饭似的。就这样我让它吃了很多青菜，结果它被吃撑死了呀!唉!我真希望兔子像千年老龟一样活那么长时间呀!

I like the rabbit, so when my mother bought me a cute little rabbit, but it in my home, only one died, remember that day at noon, my mother bought vegetables, I tried to put food into the small rabbit rabbit cage plug, eat like wolves and tigers to eat, If hadnt eaten for a week. So I let it eat a lot of vegetables, it is eat dead! Oh! I really hope that the rabbit like a thousand year old turtle live so long time!

听了我的介绍，你喜欢兔子吗?

After listening to my introduction, you like rabbits?

虽然春节过完了，但我还是一直留恋着家乡的一山一水和热情的乡亲们，啊，家乡的春节真美啊，我爱家乡的春节!

Last qingming Festival,i return home to worship my grandfather.qingming Festival is a folk Festival.In the past,In the past, the qingming Festival was called "Arbor Day". But Today, Chinese visit their family graves to tend to any underbrush that has grown. Weeds are pulled, and dirt swept away, and the family will set out offerings of food and spirit money. Unlike the sacrifices at a familys home altar, the offerings at the tomb usually consist of dry, bland food. One theory is that since any number of ghosts rome around a grave area, the less appealing food will be consumed by the ancestors, and not be plundered by strangers.

With the passing of time, this celebration of life became a day to the honor past ancestors. Following folk religion, the Chinese believed that the spirits of deceased ancestors looked after the family. Sacrifices of food and spirit money could keep them happy, and the family would prosper through good harvests and more children.
