In my hometown, the air is polluted seriously. However, in recent years,

the pollution gets from bad to worse, because of the increasing number of

private cars. Especially during the rush hours, too many private vehicles move

slowly on narrow roads, emitting a large amount of waste gas. Moreover, the

poisonous gas sent by the nearby factories is also one of the main causes of

pollution. Therefore, it’s demanded that immediate and effective measures must

be taken to restrict private cars and public transportation must be developed to

the largest extent. Besides, we should use renewable and clean energy

recourses.

April 23 is "World Book Day" announced by the UNESCO。 This is not a long history of the festival, from 1995 began. However, it has been widely welcomed and responded in the world: held in Copenhagen, Denmark reading marathon, Canadas Toronto Festival held in Canada…

When these popular cultures such as Pop music and Hollywood movies get quite prevailing today, people have not forgotten literature, the writers and reading.

Whether Reading is a funny thing, only love reading people know.

I study for many years, however, I know the sense of reading so little . Where fun of reading comes? There are four opinions put forward in this paper.

First, Reading is the treatment of depression governance magic.Immersed in books, what partiality, what desire fame and fortune, what lack a clear round, what fuel, what life 3,000 silk trouble, they all forget about.

Second, People in Libraries are often forget the time and forget to go home, that the study is not the intrinsic happiness? Some celebrities even held overnight in the library.

Third, We often see someone reading forget thirst. India, reading knowledge is the spirit of Canadian admirable. However, the morning watching a professor at the empty plates and ask ourselves: I eat the lunch? Oh. After eating, they continue schooling. Some people forget to study cooking and was good meal blame reprimanded.

Last, Reading the fastest time flies. Joy of reading, an unconsciously Influence past, the sun has not allowed Health attraction downhill whims.

The Duanwu Festival, which is also called the Dragon Boat Festival, is an

ancient Chinese traditional festival, celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth

lunar month. For thousands of years, various celebrating activities are held all

around the country. Eating zongzi and racing dragon boats are the most pertinent

ones, which are said to be in memory of Qu Yuan, a great poet. In some places,

people spread realgar wine on the children in the hope of protecting them from

the evil spirits. Many people consider May as an especially dangerous time for

diseases in a year, and therefore they hang moxa and calamus and things like

that around the doors to ward off evil and diseases and pray for good luck.

As important as Spring Festival .It is usually celebrated in September or

October. This festival is to celebrate the harvest and to enjoy the beautiful

moon light. To some extent, it is like Thanks Giving day in western countries.

On this day, people usually get together with their families and have a nice

meal.

After that, people always eat delicious moon cakes, and watch the moon. The

moon is always very round on that day, and makes people think of their relatives

and friends. It is a day of pleasure and happiness. Hope you have a wonderful

Mid Autumn festival!

In the young generation, their lifestyle is different from the old

peoples. They like to stay up and join many night activities, then they wake up

very late. The new expression of brunch fits them so much, which means the

people to have a meal combining with breakfast and lunch. But their health is

under threat. Some young peoples stomach hurts and cant digest food well. In

order to keep healthy, we need to do some exercise and eat food regularly.

Whats more, the balanced diet is very important, as the saying that an apple a

day, keeps the doctor away, so we need to eat properly. The healthy lifestyle

makes us live happily.

According to the variety of social background, personal experience and

personal emotion, differernt people have different opinions towards things.

Thus, there is no doubt that generation gap exists everywhere. We always find

that there are big differences between us and the old generation. We always

regard the old are outdated, while they think us are crazy. They can’t bear the

dress we like, the fashion we pursue or even our childish thinking. Instead, we

could put up with their standpat thingking and their “feudal rulers”. Thus, the

generation gap becomes more and more obvious and serious. However, why don’t we

realize that opinions can be changed, while people can’t. So, we can think in an

other way, learn to accept. It is certain that we can narrow the generation gap

to live a more harmonious life.

Today, as the economy develops fast, people can buy what they need, the

producers provide them all the new things, so the factory produce many products,

in order to make the biggest profit, they don’t deal with the pollution. Water

gets polluted, it does harm to people’s health, we drink water everyday, the

government controls the producers to figure out some ways to deal with the water

pollution.

Cell phones have become increasingly popular in china these days. wherever

you go you can see people using cell phones. many college students, even high

school students, have cell phones.

Cell phones have brought people a lot of benefits, but the most important

is that they are convenient. with cell phones in their hands, they can keep in

touch with anybody they want. if they want to get some information from the

internet, they can easily have their dream realized via cell phones too.

furthermore, if someone has a heart attack or a traffic accident, a call to

emergency hospital or to the police can quickly bring him the help he wants.

However, cell phones can also bring people problems. the most serious is

the electric wave radiation which is thought to be harmful to users brains.

another problem is that when people are having a meeting or having a class or at

a concert etc, the ring of the cell phone may interrupt others. so i think

people should use cellphones as little as possible and turn them off when they

are attending important meetings or attending classes.

The night of November 12th, 2010 was indeed a glorious night for our Chines, because the Opening Ceremony of Asian Games was held on Haixinsha Island in Guangzhou. Over 7000 people took part in it.

All of the performances were impressive, but the most interesting one was Sail on Cloud. During that programme, 180 performers were hung in the air to dance. How wonderful it was! Every audience burst out praise. I couldn’t help shouting. But it was a pity that I just watched it from TV. How I wish I were there!

The Dragon Boat Festival is one of the most popular traditional festivals

celebrated in China, which is on the fifth of the fifth lunar month, also known

as Duanwu Festival. It’s said that it is to commemorate the death of a Chinese

patriotic poet, Qu Yuan, who was snared by corrupt officials in ancient China

and finally committed suicide by drowning himself in the Miluo River to protest

against them.

The traditions and customs held on this festival differ from place to

place, but there are some common in them. First, the most famous and great

tradition is holding Dragon Boat races, which are held by fishermen’s attempt to

protect Qu Yuan’s body against attacking by fishes and other animals in the

river by beating drums and row the dragon shaped boat. Nowadays dragon boat

races have been an annual popular sport activity among people. In addition,

making and eating Zongzi—a dumpling made of glutinous rice and wrapped in bamboo

or reed leaves—is also a popular custom during this day. It can be made by many

kinds of stuffing. What’s more, hanging herbs on the front door, drinking

realgar wine and pasting up picture of Zhongkui—a mythic guardian figure in

ancient china—are also popular during the festival, which are mean to protect

people from evil and disease.

These customs and traditions have been changed a little in recent years,

but they still make contribution to the spread and inheritance of Chinese

culture.

When we read newspapers, our attention is always attracted by increasing

unemployment rate in young graduates who are leaving college. In my opinion,

there are many causes for this disquieting phenomenon and we should try to solve

the problem.

Most companies would rather employ a low-educational specialized worker

than a this-years graduate from a well-known university. For companies, they are

more likely to choose the candidates with rich working experience. Apparently

enough, the training for young graduates usually costs them a large quantity of

time and money. In addition, the current education system brings on a lot of

bookworms who are adept in theoretical but not practical knowledge. Therefore,

it is hard for those graduates to complete the practical assignments

successfully and smoothly. This is one major reason why many graduates find it

to find suitable jobs.

An un-mandatory retirement age is another factor leading to the youth

unemployment for college graduates. Along with the improving of working

efficiency, proficient employees with rich and extensive working experience get

retired at a much later age. In this case, for young graduates, there are fewer

chances to get access to the jobs taken up by the older and more

experienced.

We have read so many inspiring examples about how the successful people

stick to their dreams. We see the power of persistence. But as I see different

situations, sometimes the way to gain achievement is not favored by me.

Different people have different ways to keep move on.

For those people whose family are not poor, they can chase their dreams

without hesitation. The parents will give great support to them and no matter

what their children do, they just want them to be happy. Without the economic

burden, those people can focus all their attention and follow their dreams all

the time.

But for the persons whose family are poor, especially the parents are

waiting for the children’s economic support, they should make ends meet first

and then follow their dreams. Life can’t be ideal all the time, only when they

solve the basic needs, dreams will be supported. Some people make the things

they like as a hobby, they keep studying it in their spared time, if insist,

they will get the extra achievement.

Following dreams completes our life and make us live with meaning. The will

of never giving up will bring us success someday.

Once, I talked to the foreign people, he was staring at me all the time,

which made me feel not comfortable, so I chose to avoid his eyes and kept a

little distance from him. When I talked about this problem to my foreign

teacher, she told me that it was natural for them to look at you during

communication, which meant respect. While in China, people do the opposite

thing. They try to avoid eye-contact, because it is not eased to look at each

other. The different culture sometimes creates distance. The foreigners always

feel strange when they look at Chinese people’s eyes and every time when they

want to come closer to hear more clearly, Chinese people will walk away. So the

more we learn about the culture, the more we know about the world.

Honesty is long-lasting virtue of people all over the world. Likewise, it

is also one of the deeply-held values of the Chinese people. Some people believe

that in the market economy, honesty tends to be obsolete. In my opinion, honesty

will never be out of date no matter what the situation might be.

Firstly, honesty has been treasured and honest people have been respected

through history in all parts of the world. People everywhere would regarded

honesty as a virtue and hate a dishonesty person. Secondly, honesty is the basis

of interactions among people. People should treat each other sincerely and open

their hearts to each other. Only in this way can the relationship among the

people be natural. Thirdly, in the market economy, some people try to get more

money at the cost of honesty. To them, a best businessman is one who can cheat

most tactfully. Even in this kind of society, honesty is deeply valued by most

people.

We can see that not only in history, but also at the present day, honesty

was and is valued by the majority of the people and the virtue will not perish

so easily.

With the development of the e-commerce, more and more people intent to do

the shopping online. There are many advantages of online shopping, yet there are

some disadvantages too.

On the one hand, the online shopping are very convenient. Unlike the

physical stores, there is no limit of time for you to do the shopping online.

And you can find anything in the online store, some of which you may hardly buy

at the local. And also, the price is relatively transparent, you can choose the

affordable one to buy.

On the other hand, since the goods are only presented by the pictures and

descriptions, it is hard to tell its reality, so you might have bought something

you don’t like, or even the fake one. Of course you can ask for the after

service, but it will increase your cost of the time. And the advertisements on

the online shops may make you spend much more money on online shopping without

being conscious.

Anyway, the online shopping makes the shopping easier, but please do it

with rationality.

Everyone has hobbies.Hobbies are the important things in our life.I also

When asked about their opinion of career and family, people always respond differently. Some people deem it more important to pursue their career, while there are always other people who argue that family should be the number one in one’s life.

It goes without any question that career plays a key role in our life. In the very first place, career can give us an aim to live on. Without career, much of our living time will be certainly wasted. What’s more, career can provide us with a means to live on. Most of the people earn their income from a job. On the other hand, family is also an indispensable part of life, as many people will admit. Family is always regarded as a place where we can escape from troubles in life. In addition, we can obtain a sense of belonging to from family. Without it, anyone will feel lonely and desperate.

In my opinion, career and family are not in opposition to each other. Rather, they can enhance each other so that one’s life can become better and better. Therefore, it’s not a choice between right and wrong, but one between ideal and practical.

在谈到自己的事业和家庭的意见要求，人总是有不同的反应。有些人认为这更重要的是追求自己的事业，而总有那么谁认为家庭应该是一个人的生活的人数1人。

毫无疑问，任何事业在我们生活中起着关键作用。在第一个地方，可以给我们一个职业生涯的目标是生活。没有职业生涯中，大部分时间我们的生活一定会被浪费。更重要的是，职业生涯可以提供一种手段，对我们的生活。大多数人从工作中赚取的收入。另一方面，家庭也是生活中不可缺少的一部分，因为很多人会承认。家庭一直被认为是一个地方，我们可以摆脱生活中的麻烦。此外，我们可以得到一个属于家庭的感觉。没有它，人会感到孤独和绝望。

在我看来，职业和家庭是不反对对方。相反，它们可以加强彼此，使自己的生活能够越来越好。因此，它不是对与错之间的选择，但理想和现实之间的一个。
