事情的结果便是这样。那颗长在山上的橡树经历了大风大雨，结果它的根深深地扎进了泥土中间，并不断向四周扩张，甚至把自己置身于巨大的石块当中。有时它可能看起来长的不是很快，但这时它却在地下悄悄生长着，好像它的根知道自己必须快速生长来保护树木免受自然危害的影响。

My plan of next year

A new year ，a new start，when I stand on the edge of a new year，I can#39;t help thinking about my plan of next year.

Just as the old saying："Well began is the half of the success."So I decide that I should be at work while the others are still relaxing ，and then ，at the beginning ，I#39;m quicker than the others and of course I will get better result than the others.

But ，what I really decide to do is that I must make good of anytime I can spare though it seems impossible. While，I will do my best to live up with what I have planned，and the result will prove it.

I like to travel so much. When holiday comes, I will make travel plans. My

friends like travel, too. So we make up the group. Travel means a lot to me. On

the one hand, I can broaden my vision. Every city has its own feature and

lifestyle, so I can experience different lifestyles. Books can provide us

theorical knowledge, but if we go to the place to witness the real scenery, then

what we learn from the book will be useful. On the other hand, travel can bring

me the new mood. If I live in the same place for a long time and do the same

thing every day, my life will be boring. But travel can help me to refresh my

mood. When I come back, I am full of energy again.

Today was the first day of my new life. I looked at my new books and

checked everything for the new school year. I was excited as well as

worried.

Entering new school, I was curious about everything, new classrooms, new

teachers, new classmates etc. It would be a new start for each student. And what

I was worried about is that I had no friends here. I wondered if no liked to

play with me. Were the teachers strict with students?

I fell relaxed when the teacher asked me, What else could I help you,

freshman?". I found that the teachers were kind and polite, and the classmates

around me were friendly. While I was thinking about how to get on well with my

classmates, my desk mate showed me his favorite Ipad4s. He wanted to play with

me, but I didnt know how to play, so he taught me patiently, and we played

happily.

Worries have gone, and happiness is coming.

Halloween

Halloween is an autumn holiday that Americans celebrate every year. It means "holy evening," and it comes every October 31, the evening before All Saints Day. However, it is not really a church holiday, it is a holiday for children mainly.

Every autumn, when the vegetables are ready to eat, children pick large orange pumpkins. Then they cut faces in the pumpkins and put a burning candle inside. It looks as if there were a person looking out of the pumpkin! These lights are called jack-o-lanterns, which means "Jack of the lantern".

The children also put on strange masks and frightening costumes every Halloween. Some children paint their faces to look like monsters. Then they carry boxes or bags from house to house. Every time they come to a new house, they say,"Trick or treat! Money or eat!" The grown-ups put treat-money or candy in their bags.

Not only children, but most grown-ups also love Halloween and Halloween parties because on this day,they can disguise themselves as personages or ghost as their imaginations will lead them. This bring them the satisfaction of being young.

万圣节前夕

万圣节前夕是美国人年年都会庆祝的秋季节日。它的意思是“神圣的夜晚”，在每年的10月31日，也就是万圣节前夜。但实际上这不是一个真正的宗教节日，而主要是孩子们的节日。

每年秋天蔬菜成熟可以食用的时候，孩子们就会挑出大个儿的橙色南瓜。然后在南瓜上刻上一张脸，把一根点燃的蜡烛放在里面。看起来就好像有人在向南瓜外面张望。这些灯就叫做“iack-o-lantems”，意思也就是“杰克的灯”。

每年万圣节前夕孩子们还戴上奇怪的面具，穿上吓人的服装。有些孩子把脸刷成怪物。然后他们拿着盒子或袋子挨家挨户串门。每来到一个新房子他们就说：“不款待就捣乱!给钱还是吃的!”大人们就会把用来招待的钱或糖放在他们的袋子里了。

不仅孩子，许多成年人也喜欢万圣节前夕和万圣节前夕晚会。因为这一天他们可以根据自己的想象把自己装扮成名流或幽灵。这会带给他们年轻的快感。

However mean your life is, meet it and live it; do not shun it and call it

hard names. It is not as bad as you are.

It looks poorest when you are richest. The fault-finder will find faults in

paradise. Love your life, poor as it is.

You may perhaps have some pleasant, thrilling, glorious hours, even in a

poor-house. The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the alms-house as

brightly as from the rich mans abode; the snow melts before its door as early

in the spring. I do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there, and

have as cheering thoughts, as in a palace.

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.

Life is full of all kinds of choices, and there was an important and

memorable choice in my life.

When I was graduated from my junior high school,I had to make a choice to

be a through-train student or be a senior high school. I was very aware of my

strengths and weakness. I loved learning history and geography,even interested

in politics. I didnt want to leave away from my favorite subjects because I

always enjoyed them while I was studying. So through painful choices,I chose to

be a senior high school student.

I never regretted the choice. I am proud of myself --a senior high school

student who is enjoying the pleasure of others learning. Learn to choose, to

change your destiny, to change your life!

Today I am very happy, because today is not only "38" womens day, but also

my mothers birthday.

Early in the morning I thought, what to do for my mother? I thought to

myself, I didnt think of a way, so I went to ask dad. Dad said, "you can make

her a card or do something for her." So I decided to make her a card. I took out

a small piece of cardboard and wrote, "happy holidays and good health." Well, I

put the CARDS in my room.

I went out to help my mother mop the floor, my mother said in surprise:

"you dont even touch the housework, how do you have to mop the floor today?"

Ill just mop the floor and not answer mom. At noon, I put the CARDS in my

mothers room, and my mother said to me, "what are you doing in the room?" I

smiled at my mother and said, "its a secret."

At night, I said to my mother, "happy birthday to you, and I wish you a

happy holiday." Mother said: "today is my birthday I remember, today is what

holiday?" I opened my eyes to my mother and said, "today is march eighth

international womens day! Dont you remember? "I thought you knew it was for

you," I said to my mother. My mother took the card and looked at it, moved to

tears.

These are lots of books in our daily life. Some are about history, some are novels, and some are even about the dream in the future. I think its useful to read stories, because it can be used sometimes. Once, there was a very difficult question in an important history exam history, which wasnt mentioned in our history books, even our teacher has never told us about it. But I remembered clearly that I had read it in a history story, so I answered the question without difficulty and became the only student in our class who answered the question correctly. In my view, its useful to read stories.

Recently, the news reported that one special kind of rhino from Africa just

passed away, which meant the disappearance of this lovely creature. What a great

pity. The tragedy is caused by the damaged environment, while human being must

be blamed for it, because we have done so many bad things to pollute the

environment and make the nature lose its balance. In order to make up our faults

and save our offspring, it is in need of protecting the environment. As the

ordinary people, we can do the small things, such as do not throw away the

rubbish and join some activities to bring the world green, like planting trees.

Every small act can make a difference. Some day, when we live with the

environment friendly, what we do is worth.

Happy Mid-autumn Day

Today is Mid-autumn Day. I have a big meal at home with my parents and

relatives. This is an important festival， so my mother was busy with preparing

the dinner from morning. She bought a lot of foods for the dinner. We ate the

dinner at 5：30 p.m.. The dinner was very delicious. I was so full. After dinner，

we went to theHongTingParkto enjoy the glorious full moon. There were many

people in the park.We talked to each other and strangers. Of course， the moon

cake was essential. We had a great night there.

今天是中秋节，我同父母和亲戚一起吃了一顿大餐。这是一个重要的节日，所以我妈妈从早到晚都在忙着准备晚饭。她买了很多的食物做晚餐。我们傍晚五点半吃晚饭，晚饭很好吃，我吃得很饱。晚饭过后，我么去红亭公园赏满月。公园里有很多人，不管认识与否，我们互相交谈。当然，月饼是必不可少的。我们在那度过了愉快的夜晚。

I have a dream, deeply rooted in my mind, that is when I grow up, I want to

be a scientist, although I have no wisdom, no rigorous thinking, also does not

have the accurate judgment, but I still wont give up work. Although this dream

I very far away, but I still wont stop pursuing. Although in the process of

realize the dream, there will be many setbacks and countless hardships, but Im

still not discouraged. Because I believe that only through hell of polish, and

to build to create the power of heaven, only through the blood fingers, to pop

up to the swan song of time; Only through hardships and setbacks, to achieve

your dreams!

Previously, whenever see scientists remarkable achievement, always feel

envy and admiration. Is, they promoted the development of the society; Is, they

make peoples living standards improve, But they, for the development of the

motherland ushered in a brand new tomorrow!

So, I want to be a scientist, become a contribution to the country, to

become the pillars of the country.

Had this dream, I will continue to be so hard, never give up, have the

dream, is to grasp their own life course, will not be lost. Had this dream, like

a lamp, light up my way forward, has been to the pinnacle of victory!

What is the definition of success? I believe different people will have

different opinions about it. If anyone asks me what is success for me, I will

tell him progress is success for me. I can have small goal or great aim in my

whole life. If the goal what I set is too large for me, I will not taste the

feeling of success. Or I always set small goals, so I will feel success all the

time, which may make me become autophilia and without ambitions. Therefore, I

think if I can be better than yesterday or last time, then I am successful.

Dear Manager

I got to know the message that the position of the salesman in your company is empty, which made me excited about it, for that, I want it for a long time.

Please let me tell the reasons why I am so excited. Its so famous that it is hardly unknown to everyone. As known, in your company, the products are in a good qualification and the sales service is satisfied, which made me believe that your company would be a perfect stage for me.

Of course, the requirements for this position are high, but I think I am good enough for it. In the last four years, I worked very hard on my study and had a good understanding of professional knowledge. Besides, I took every chance to practice. I attended several activities and took up an internship is an organization. As a result, I developed great practical skills. And, I get CET-6 certification and choose the sales lessons. I think they would be helpful to be your staff.

I am looking forward to your reply.

The shared bikes like Mobike and Ofobring great convenience to people. You

needn’t lock them by simply using your smart phone. They can take you where the

subway and bus don’t go. And they can be left anywhere in public for the next

user.

However, bad things happen. Some people damage the QR code on the bike, or

use their own lock, which causes trouble toother users.

In my opinion, it’s difficult to turn these people’s ideas in a short time.

Therefore, bike-sharing companies like Mobike and Ofo need to do something. For

example, those who damage the bike should pay for their actions. Also, because

people use their real name to registeras a user, it’s a good way to connect to

one’spersonal credit.

In the end, what I want to say is to take good care of public services.

When it comes to November 11, what’s on your mind? Well, as to the old

generations, it’s only an ordinary day; however, the young generations will

consider it as the Singles’ Day as well as the on-line shopping carnival. In

fact, on November 11th, 2013, Tmall and Taobao (the biggest Chinese online

shopping platform) has sold out more than 35 billion Yuan goods, this data has

astonished the media at home and abroad. Apparently, people have more interests

on cyber shopping than spend the night with their single friends. Some home

media even suggest that November 11th should be the Chinese on-line shopping

carnival.

In 2010, Jack Ma, the CEO of Tmall and Taobao, had coined the term “Double

Eleven”, aimed to encourage the single people to do something to celebrate their

own festival. Instead of dating lovers, people go on-line shopping to relive the

loneliness. According to the survey, China had 564 million Internet users at the

end of last year and 180 million single people. And the single people are the

main force of the China’s spending power. The debut was a great success. Then

“11.11” has an unusual meaning, which stands for on-line shopping carnival.

Comparing with the traditional shopping, the cyber shopping has more

distinguish features, which quite fit the young generations’ taste. People do

not need to go outside, just click their mouse, the goods will be home. The best

part is you can do it anywhere, anytime. All you need is a credit card. What we

can predict in the future is that on-line shopping is not going to fade away,

instead, it will boost like the mushrooms after spring rains.

In the matter of courage we all have our limits. There never was a hero who

did not have his bounds. I suppose it may be said of Nelson and all the others

whose courage has been advertised that there came times in their lives when

their bravery knew it had come to its limit.

I have found mine a good many times. Sometimes this was expected--often it

was unexpected. I know a man who is not afraid to sleep with a rattle-snake, but

you could not get him to sleep with a safety-razor.

I never had the courage to talk across a long, narrow room. I should be at

the end of the room facing all the audience. If I attempt to talk across a room

I find myself turning this way and that, and thus at alternate periods I have

part of the audience behind me. You ought never to have any part of the audience

behind you; you never can tell what they are going to do.
