The Spring Festival is the most important traditional one in China. As an

important part of it, fireworks bring us happier atmosphere than usual. This

Spring Festival, Dad bought lots of fireworks as last year. On the eve, he

lighted them, and then they blossomed like flowers in the sky, with sweet sounds

and brilliant light. How beautiful! I was deeply moved, though every Spring

Festival I felt it. It brought me the beautiful feelings. At that moment I was

buried in the sea of happiness. And also it made me feel more about the

prosperity of our homeland.

Meanwhile, I was worried about the fireworks. First, setting off

firecrackers made a tremendous noise and caused serious air pollution. Also

childrens safety faced the crisis of getting burned or injured in the eyes.

Whats worse, many dustmens valuable time was wasted for fireworks pieces after

being set off dirtied the environment.

So I thought some day well have to forbid making and setting off

fireworks, though its a Chinese custom for hundreds of years.

When you were born, you need to face the ups and downs in our life. For

example, you need to learn to speak, learn to walk, learn to write, learn to

read, and so on. Whenever you learn a new thing, you will be always full of joy.

But the hardness only you know. Perhaps, you have thought about giving up, but

in the end you insist on. In this world, there is no difficult, only those who

do not adhere to. As long as you can hold on, thats not a thing. Perseverance

prevails! This is the eternal law! Come on.

Saving Water

The world is not only hungry,but also thirsty for water. This may seem strange to you, since nearly 75 % of the earths surface is covered with water. But about 97% of this huge amount is sea water, or salt water. Man can only drink and use the other 3% -- the fresh water that comes from rivers, lakes,underground, and other sources. And we cannot even use all of that, because some of it is in the form of icebergs and glaciers. Even worse, some of it has been polluted.

However, as things stand today, this small amount of fresh water, which is constantly being replaced by rainfall, is still enough for us. But our need for water is increasing rapidly-- almost day by day. Only if we take steps to deal with this problem now can we avoid a severe worldwide water shortage later on. A limited water supply would have a bad effect on agriculture and industry. Let me give you just one small exampie of how necessary water is to industry. Did you know that to produce a single ton of steel, it takes about 91, 000 liters of water?

We all have to learn how to stop wasting our precious water. One of the first steps we should take is to develop ways of reusing it. Experiments have already been done in this field, but only on a small scale. For us, the systems are as important as the spacecraft.

节约用水

我们的世界不仅饥饿，而且因为缺水而干渴。对你来说这可能似乎奇怪：因为我们的地球表面75%由水覆盖着。但是，这巨大的数量中97%是海水、或咸水。只有剩下3%

的来自河流、湖泊、地下，和其他来源的淡水供人们饮用、使用。即使如此，这3%的水源我们也不能够完全使用，因为有些淡水是以冰山或冰河的形式存在。更糟糕的是，一些水源已遭受了污染。

然而，尽管按现状看来，这些少量的淡水即使时常转化成雨水的形式，对我们来说，也仍然够用。可是我们对水的需求却日益迅速增长。我们只有现在采取措施解决这一问

题才能避免未来世界范围内的严重水资源缺乏。限量供水会对农业和工业产生不良的影响。我们举个小小的事例就能证明水对工业的必要性。每生产一吨钢材就要消耗91，000升水，你知道吗?

我们必须杜绝对宝贵水资源的浪费。我们应该采取的第一步就是要发展水再利用的方法。该领域的实验已在进行，但是仅是小规模地进行。水资源再利用系统的重要性

对我们而言，与空间站不相上下。

Social morality is an important part of our life that reflects the degree

of civilization of our country. Generally speaking, social morality contains

many aspects. For example, civility, which requires people behave in a becoming

manner and be friendly to others. Be ready to help others telling us that give a

hand to those who need help. When we help others, we can get gratification as

well. Just as the old saying goes, “Roses given, fragrance in hand.” Besides,

respecting the old and cherishing the young, protecting the environment,

observing law and discipline are also included in social morality. Observe

social morality is the basic requirement to a man of being moral, which has

positive effects that keep our society stable and harmonious. As a member of our

society, we should keep these disciplines and requirements in mind, so that act

as a moral people.

In our daily life, we can learn something from some cases. However, from my

point of view, I think that it is essential for us to know ourselves in a right

way. People who have a full awareness of the importance to improve themselves

will discover themselves continuously. Therefore, we can say that if we want to

change ourselves, we must bravely reveal ourselves.

Every coin has two sides, and we are no exception. When we experience some

situations, we will find that there are many advantages of us. Thus, we can have

a huge sense of satisfaction. We may have a little pride, because we are happy

that we can make good use of our advantages to solve more difficult problems in

the future. However, at the same time, we also can realize that there are still

some disadvantages of us. These disadvantages will bring us different

influences. I’d like to point out that people who can bravely accept and remove

their disadvantages will gain a bright future. On the contrary, people who

choose escape or ignorance their disadvantages will indulge themselves, and they

no further progress.

Don’t indulge yourself. If we indulge ourselves, we will meet more terrible

suffering in our later life. I know that when we find our weakness, we may say

that I will never do that again, and regret doing so meaningless thing. I am

such a fool. But when we meet similar situations next time, we will still tell

ourselves that it doesn’t matter that I do it again. Then we will indulge

ourselves to expand our disadvantages. It shows that some people who have no own

principle will fail to realize their promises. When we can overcome our

laziness, we will understand that solving some problems may be not so difficult.

Therefore, we should try our best to control ourselves to pursue higher

development.

There are no any excuses to indulge yourself. We should tell ourselves that

we are capable to overcome our weakness, though it needs much time. However, if

we succeed once, then we will be successful again. Last, we don’t indulge

ourselves. We will become more complete.

Everyone can take actions to improve themselves. Don’t indulge yourself. If

you succeed, you will acquire a huge wealth, and your life will become more

brilliant.

The summer vacation is here, and the students are very happy. Now I will

introduce to you how my summer vacation was spent.

When I started to do my homework during the summer vacation, I was always

afraid that I would not finish it. As a result, on July 15th, I was almost

finished. After a few days, the rest of the homework was finished, and there

were only two essays left. I didnt write until August 14th. Next week, my

parents are going to take me to play for two days. I am very happy. Summer is

almost over and I really wish it would be longer.

The summer vacation is almost over, and I have something to worry

about.

Its just that I havent written an essay yet. The school will start soon,

when will I write? In ancient times, people often said: The young and the strong

do not work hard, and the boss is sad. We want us to cherish time, but if I am

different, I will waste time. I am lazy. I hope this shortcoming can be

corrected. I hope you can support me a lot!

Today is the first day of my learning to swim. Before that, I prepared some

necessary things for swimming, such as swimming caps, swimming trunks, swimming

goggles, etc., and I was excited for several days, looking forward to todays

arrival.

When I came to the swimming pool of Baolihao Fitness Center, I saw that the

water was clear and clear, and it could be used as a mirror. I was in a group

with three other children, who, like me, came to study on the first day. Our

main task today is to practice holding and breathing. Yutian, I have never been

in contact with water, so at first I was afraid to hold my breath because of the

water, but when I saw everyone elses head sinking, I mustered up the courage to

sink my head, but it took less than six seconds to come out, and the other

students It took me about 30 seconds to hold back. It seems that I have to do my

best.

When I got home, my mother told me that I have to be determined to do

anything. Since I have gone to learn, I must learn it. If some movements are not

in place, I must find a way to practice more. I think what my mother said makes

a lot of sense, so I practiced holding my breath in the washbasin at night. It

lasted for more than 20 seconds at most. It seems that as long as I work hard, I

can do better. If there is a will, things will come true !

I am a girl of ten, and I live in a small mountain village far from

Taiyuan. The only person that lives with me is my mother, because my father is

away for eight years, working in a city.

During the Spring Festival, my father came back home. He looked thin and

tired. He gave my mother two thousand yuan, and told her that he would work even

harder, earn more money, and then he could take us to the city He stayed at home

for only ten days.We are living a poor life now. But what I want most is not

money, but my father. I miss him very much!

Autumn is the third season in the year. It lasts from September to

November. When the autumn comes, the leaves begin to turn yellow and then fall.

The weather becomes cool. It makes people feel comfortable. So many people like

autumn and enjoy this season. Besides, autumn is a season of harvest. The crops

turn to rip. Farmers are busy with the harvest. And they begin to prepare for

the winter and the New Year.

I am a third year master major in automation at Shanghai Jiao Tong

University, P. R. China. With tremendous interest in Industrial Engineering, I

am writing to apply for acceptance into your Ph.D. graduate program.

Education background

In 1995, I entered the Nanjing University of Science & Technology

(NUST) -- widely considered one of the China’s best engineering schools. During

the following undergraduate study, my academic records kept distinguished among

the whole department. I was granted First Class Prize every semester,In 1999, I

got the privilege to enter the graduate program waived of the admission

test.

At the period of my graduate study, my overall GPA(3.77/4.0) ranked top 5%

in the department. In the second semester, I became teacher assistant that is

given to talented and matured students only. This year, I won the Acer

Scholarship as the one and only candidate in my department, which is the

ultimate accolade for distinguished students endowed by my university.

Presently, I am preparing my graduation thesis and trying for the honor of

Excellent Graduation Thesis.

Research experience and academic activity

When a sophomore, I joined the Association of AI Enthusiast and began to

narrow down my interest for my future research. With the tool of OpenGL and

Matlab, I designed a simulation program for transportation scheduling system. It

is now widely used by different research groups in NUST. I assumed and fulfilled

a sewage analysis & dispose project for Nanjing sewage treatment plant. This

was my first practice to convert a laboratory idea to a commercial product.

In retrospect, I find myself standing on a solid basis in both theory and

experience, which has prepared me for the Ph.D. program. My future research

interests include: Network Scheduling Problem, Heuristic Algorithm research

(especially in GA and Neural network), Supply chain network research, Hybrid

system performance analysis with Petri nets and Data Mining.

Im the only child in my family, the apple of my parents eyes. my mother

and father take good care of my and give me a lot of support throughout my

life.

My father is the manager of a company and my mother is a teacher. they are

both well educated and do well in their jobs. they know that knowledge is power.

father often communicates with foreign friends and is good at english. i can

learn a lot from him, especially english. his oninion on education is as

advanced as that of my mothers. they often give me advice on my studies but

never interfere in them. they seldom force me to do what i dont like to. they

permit me to have different opinions. if something is good for me, they will

persuade me to do it as they want. many people of our age say that there is a

generation gap between their parents and them. however, it doesnt exist between

us.

My mother is a math teacher. she is very clever and good at teaching. she

can work out a problem within 10 minutes which would cost me 2 hours. i envy and

admire her. i want to be a math teacher like her.

Im lucky to have such enlightened parents. im lucky to have been brought

up in such a happy family.

Nowadays, with long holidays at hand,travelinghas become a new trend for

us to relax ourselves outside work. Some people even had made a plan for it a

long time before the holiday begins. They usually travel with good friends or

travel along; only few people take their parents into travel plan. However, I

think it is high time for us to travel with parents.

In the first place, we should spend more time with parents. According to

research, if we come home 5 days a year, spend 4 hours a day with parents, it

would be less than 300 hours of 30 years, which means 25 days. We could see it

now that there is not much time for us to spend with our parents after we go to

work or have our own family. Hence, we should travel with our parents.

In the second place, parents used to took us to travel when we were young,

why don’t we take them as return when we are capable to do that. It is not the

matter of we are set free from parents, we are not a traitorous teenager

anymore, and we have time and money, of course we should take a trip with

parents. Holiday would be a good time for us to travel with parents, just like

the old time.

To summarize, we should make a plan for parents in holiday. Holiday is a

great gift for us and our parents.

Healthy eating habits are very important for our health. We should build

healthy eating habits. We should eat fresh vegetables and fruits everyday.They

supply rich and the necessary vitamins for us. We also should eat less meat

everday.And we had better drink a glass of milk in the morning or at night.

Besides, we should focus on abalanced diet, which assures us the necessary

nutritions. Junk food is a fatal killer for our health so that we should stay

far from them. It is said that most of students do not eat anything at all in

the morning. It is very bad for our health. Breakfast is the most important meal

for people.

When we are little, we are eager to grow up, so that we can break free of

parental discipline even leave them far. Since we were a little child, we have

to be governed by teachers in school and endure parent’s ramble at home. These

are our growing pains. Besides, study, friendship, sometimes campus romance may

trouble us. However, as we grow up, we gradually find that things mentioned

above are not pains at all. There are much more serious things brother us. For

example, we may be less sensitive to the simple happiness and loss them

gradually. It’s hard for us to laugh from our heart. Moreover, we are in the age

that we are eager to grow up but afraid to grow up either. The ambivalence

afflicts us a lot. However, no matter what happens in our growth, they are parts

of our lives. We must accept them actively and do not let the pains prevent us

from happiness.

I have a wonderful dream in my heart. Its to speak English very well.

Since English is everything for me. English is my best friend. English is my

soul. English is my power. Without English， Im nothing at all. Nothing. Now， I

can think in English， speak in English， and write in English. Some people think

Im an Indian. Some people regard Im a Pakistan. And some people even consider

that Im an Egyptian. But if I could speak English as good as an American， my

future would be brilliant. So I work very hard.

Friend plays important role in our lives. Everyone needs his or her own

friends. Some people make friends easily but some do not. And “friend” means

differently to people. Some people think friends should stay together all the

time, but some others think that share and support is the real meaning of

friend. From my point of view, friend is the person who will always be with you

no matter what happens. It’s the person who can share your happiness as well as

sorrows.

Now more and more bike sharing brands have emerged, such as ofo, Mobai,

Wukong bicycle, Xiaoming bicycle and so on, which are convenient for our travel.

As long as we download a software, we can pay some money to rent a car. However,

since I saw some phenomena, I have asked myself, "is bike sharing convenient or

harmful?"

Bike sharing is very popular recently. Ofo software or other sharing

software can be found in almost all mobile phones of "mobile phone family".

However, once my mother came home full of anger, scared me to speak. I shuddered

and asked, "Mom, what makes you so angry?" She put the bag in her hand on the

table and made a loud "pa -". "Your sister helped me install an ofo software in

my mobile phone. I wanted to make it easy to ride back with good medicine, but

today I rented a" broken car "!" I was puzzled: "ofo still has a broken car

"That is, otherwise, how could my feet be bruised?" She moved her foot to me,

and a black wheel mark was still visible. "When I was riding, the chain was

loose. If it wasnt for my fast braking speed, I would have fallen off!" Since

then, Ive been less fond of bike sharing.

Once I went to a make-up class, I saw two workers sitting on a Mobi

bicycle, shaking and laughing. Dad was very indignant and said: "this kind of

person really does not speak of public morality! Make fun of the public car I

know that they wont do this with their cars. My heart is like bleeding. Why,

they want to "bully" bike sharing.

Once I went out to play. The weather was very good and I was in a good

mood. I look up to the side, really do not see do not know, a look scared. A man

secretly removed the wheel of an ofo and replaced it with a bad one on his own.

After that, he rode off on the ofo wheel. Only the ofo little yellow car was

lying alone, and the wheels were not installed properly. It is like a injured

little girl, whose legs have been taken away, like vanca, can not endure the

sunshine of life. At that time, my tears began to drop. Is bike sharing "shared"

or "exclusive"?

There have been news reports that a boy under 12 years old riding a shared

bicycle was run over by a car and killed. At that time, the boys mother shared

the companys money to compensate for her sons death. Its clearly her sons fault.

He didnt ride a bike before he was 12 years old. I didnt say he deserved it. But

the fact is better than eloquence. The death of her son is not the

responsibility of the sharing company, but his own fault!

I once saw a young man riding ofo without scanning the code. A middle-aged

man pushed ofo into his home. Have you ever seen someone use Mobi without

decoding as fitness equipment? The sound of chain jingling is like a demon with

a chain in his hand crawling out of hell. Thats selfish!

Someone took an image that put the broken ofo and Moby together to fill a

small parking lot. After riding shared bicycles, people park them on the side of

the road at will. As long as a passer-by gently knocks down a car, it will fall

down like a domino.

Have you ever thought that sharing resources is closely related to each of

us, but all the harm they bring is due to selfishness. Bike sharing is just one

example. Ive seen shared bookstores where people leave books on their desks

after reading, so that they cant go home. "Convenience to others, convenience to

oneself." As long as we are convenient for others, we will also benefit

ourselves.

The way people hold the belief that a fun-filled， pain-free lifestyle

equals happiness actually reduces their chances of ever obtaining real

happiness. If fun and pleasure are equal to happiness，then pain must be equal to

unhappiness. But in fact，the opposite is true： more often than not things that

lead to happiness contain some pain.

As a result，many people avoid the very attempts that are the source of true

happiness.They fear the pain inevitably (不可避免地) brought by such things as

marriage，raising children，professional achievement， religious commitment，

self-improvement.

Ask a bachelor why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be

less and less satisfying. If he is honest，he will tell you that he is afraid of

making a commitment，for commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is

filled with fun， adventure and excitement.Marriage has such moments，but they are

not its most distinguishing features.

Couples，with infant children， are lucky to get a whole nights sleep of a

three-day vacation. We dont know any parent who would choose the word fun to

describe raising children. But couples that decide not to have children ever

know the joys of watching a child grow up or playing with a grandchild.

Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun

is one of the most liberating realizations. It liberates time： now we can devote

more hours to activities that can really increase our happiness. It liberates

money：buying that new car or those fancy clothes to increase our happiness now

seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy：we now understand that all those

who always have so much fun actually may not be happy at all.
