We liked it very much. Every time I went home, it greeted me by making “goo-goo” sounds. We always played with it and talked to it. It would blink its eyes just like it understood what we were saying. It was like my best friend. But when the weather became colder, we forgot to keep it warm , and it died. It made us sad for a long time, and it also taught me how important it is to take care of animals.

Li Hua spent too much time playing computer games and he fell behind

others. As a good friend of his, I must do something to help him.

Firstly, I think its very important for him to learn lessons well. He

should spend most of his time on his study instead of computer games. Secondly,

I must tell him that playing computer games too much is bad for his health,

especially for his eyes. So he must give it up. I can play more sports with him

after school. Maybe he will become more interested in sports than computer

games. And then Ill ask him to concentrate more on his study. Of course, I will

try my best to help him with all his subjects. I think I can do it in many fun

ways and let him find much fun in studying. At the same time, Ill ask both his

parents and our teachers to help him, too.

enough pocket money， you can do something that you can do， for example， you can

prepare a cup of tea。 When your father comes back from work， he can drink

it。

happy on Father’s Day。 Don’t you think so?

When it comes to online shopping, different people holds different ideas

towards it. Some people seem extremely enjoy the way of buying things online

because they feel online shopping is so convenient. Some just don’t believe that

they can buy good quality commodities from Internet. As far as I’m concerned, I

think online shopping creates lots of benefits to people.

Firstly, buying things online is a way of saving time. Compared with the

traditional way of shopping, we have no need to go out to pick up our favorite

goods from store to store. Just a click, we can have things in our shopping cart

and just wait for the goods to be delivered to us. To this extent, not only we

can save the time of finding things from store to store but we don’t need to

spend time on transportation. Thus, we can save lots of time to enjoy fun.

Secondly, buying things online can save our money. People buy commodities

by Internet not only because it saves us time, but also, we can save lots of

money. It is often seen that some people just go to the physical store to check

out the commodities they want to buy and then they would search for their

favorite commodities online and take the order. People do this just because they

know that online goods are usually cheaper than the goods displayed in shop

window because online shop have no need to pay the rent. So, people are more

inclined to buying things from online store.

Thirdly, convenience is the last but not least thing of shopping online.

Since we can buy things online, there is no need to go out to look for things we

want to buy. What we need to do is to simply sit before our computer, search for

things we want to buy, click our favorite thing and then pay our order by our

bank card. And then, you just need to wait for your goods to be delivered to

your home.

In conclusion, shopping online is a convenient, time-saving and money

saving way of buying things. Therefore, we can benefit a lot from shopping

online. That’s the reason of why shopping online has developed faster and faster

in recent years.

窗外的阳光被跳跃着的绿叶打碎，斑驳的碎片随风舞动，舞出一路的斑斓，错落、散落在这个离别的六月。题记

两旁的景色不停地倒退，初中三年来的生活像放电影一般重现脑海，一幕一幕，镌刻在我们人生的光年，依稀记得三年前，我们刚刚踏入西社初中的时候，十二岁的我们懵懵懂懂，对于未来三年的初中生活充满想象，不知道在初中生活中会遇到什么，幸好有老师，朋友陪伴我们一路走来，可是现在，仅仅还有20多天我们就要离开这个生活了三年的校园了，我们心中有几多的不舍，几多的留恋。

我想，我会一直记得，记得数学老师的幽默风趣，记得他在我误入歧途时谆谆的教诲，记得语文老师关切的目光和话语，记得她在我退步时鼓励的目光和话语，记得在遇到困难时，同学们伸出的援助之手，记得在生病时，老师的关怀，同学的照顾，记得在寝室里的欢声笑语，记得教室里的朗朗书声，我想把每一个人珍惜，珍惜这段美好的记忆，深藏心底。

我一定能考上！我要对得起自己。如果奇迹没有出现，那我就创造一个。这些日子，每个人都在为自己、为彼此默默地加油打气，为了一个专属的未来，奋力拼搏，没有什么不可以，相信自己，你就是一道风景，你可以成功。

迁徙，是为了归来；离别，是为了遇见。时间像奔跑的火车，轰轰烈烈，永不停息。时光荏苒，三年的初中的生活很快过去了，即将面临毕业的我们得到了离别最好的馈赠，有坚定不变的友情，有深厚的师生情谊，还有为了目标执着的拼搏。相信在以后的某一天里，打开记忆的匣子，每一个人的脸上都会跳跃着灿烂的阳光。

在这离别的时刻，我们能否不说再见？即便说了，但我希望它不是再也不见的意思。

这些美好的记忆，我将会铭记于心，永久珍藏！

于我们而言，正确地认识我们本身的优势和不足是非常重要的，其原因在于它有助于我们提高自身，我们应该自省并且学会认识我们自己是谁

It is important to know our good and bad points because this knowledge will help us to improve ourself. We should examine ourselves and learn who we are.

在自我认识当中，最重要的就是认识自己的优势和不足。举例而言，我是一个身体健康的人，由于这个原因，我可以非常努力地去工作。同时我乐观、谦和并且有礼貌。这些是我的优势。同时，我也存在一些不足。首先就是我脾气有点倔，而且缺乏耐心。在一些时候我也会犯懒，也许有时整天在看电视和吃垃圾食品。可是有这些缺点，我却并不觉得怎样羞愧，因为我了解到了他们，促进我提高了自身

Above all, we should recognize our strengths and weaknesses. For example, I am healthy and fit, so I can work hard. Im also optimistic, humble and polite. These are my strengths. However, I also have weaknesses. For one thing, Im stubborn and a little impatient. Im sometimes lazy as well and can spent a whole day just watching TV and eating junk food. Im not ashamed to admit these bad pints. Knowing what they are lets me focus on improving myself.

编辑点评：这篇文章用词准确、精彩，并且能有自己的观点，是一篇非常优秀的校园作文。我们在平时的学习中，不但要常写常练，还要经常阅读一些好文好句，来提高自己的写作水平。

mooncakes are to mid-autumn festival what mince pies are to christmas. the seasonal round cakes traditionally have a sweet filling of lotus seed paste or red bean paste and often have one or more salted duck eggs in the center to represent the moon. and the moon is what this celebration is all about. mid-autumn festival falls on the 15th day of the 8th month，it is the time when the moon is said to be at its brightest and fullest.

there are two legends which claim to explain the tradition of eating mooncakes. one tang dynasty myth holds that the earth once had 10 suns circling it. one day all 10 suns appeared at once，scorching the planet with their heat. it was thanks to a skillful archer named hou yi that the earth was saved. he shot down all but one of the suns. as his reward，the heavenly queen mother gave hou yi the elixir of immortality，but she warned him that he must use it wisely. hou yi ignored her advice and，corrupted by fame and fortune，became a tyrannical leader. chang-er，his beautiful wife， could no longer stand by and watch him abuse his power so she stole his elixir and fled to the moon to escape his angry wrath. and thus began the legend of the beautiful woman in the moon，the moon fairy.

the second legend has it that during the yuan dynasty，an underground group led by zhu yuan zang was determined to rid the country of mongolian dominance. the moon cake was created to carry a secret message. when the cake was opened and the message read，an uprising was unleashed which successfully routed the mongolians. it happened at the time of the full moon，which，some say，explains why mooncakes are eaten at this time. mooncakes are usually stamped with chinese characters indicating the name of the **ry and the type of filling used. some **ries will even stamp them with your family name so that you can give personalised ones to friends and family. they are usually presented in boxes of four which indicate the four phases of the moon. traditional mooncakes are made with melted lard，but today vegetable oil is more often used in the interests of health. mooncakes are not for the diet-conscious as they are loaded with calories. the best way to wash down one of these sticky cakes is with a cup of chinese tea，especially jasmine or chrysanthemum tea，which aids the digestion.

中秋节吃月饼就像西方人圣诞节吃百果馅饼一样，是必不可少的。圆圆的月饼中通常包有香甜的莲子馅或是红豆馅，馅的中央还会加上一个金黄的咸鸭蛋黄来代表月亮。而月亮正是中秋节庆祝的主题。每年农历8月15日人们一起庆祝中秋，据说这一天的月亮是一年中最亮最圆的。

关于吃月饼这个传统的来历有两个传说。一个是唐朝的神话故事，说的是当时地球被10个太阳包围着。有一天10个太阳同时出现在天空中，巨大的热量几乎把地球烤焦了。多亏一位名叫后羿的神箭手射下了9个太阳，地球才被保祝为了奖励后羿，王母娘娘赐给后羿一种长生不老药，但是王母警告他必须正当使用。然而后羿没有理会王母娘娘的警告，他被名利冲昏了头脑，变成了一个暴君。后羿美丽的妻子嫦娥对他的暴行再也不能袖手旁观，于是她偷走了后羿的长生不老药，飞到月亮上逃避后羿的狂怒。从此就有了关于月宫仙子嫦娥，这个月亮上的美丽女人的传说。

第二个传说讲的是在元朝，朱元璋领导的起义军计划起义来摆脱蒙古族的统治。他们用月饼来传递密信。掰开月饼就可以找到里面的密信，起义军通过这种方式成功的发动了起义，赶走了元朝的统治者。这场起义发生在八月十五之时，于是中秋节吃月饼的习俗便在民间传开来。

in the u。s。 mothers day is a holiday celebrated on second sunday in may。 it is a day when children honor their mothers with cards， gifts， and flowers。 first observance in philadelphia， pa。 in 1907， it is based on suggestions by julia ward howe in 1872 and by anna jarvis in 1907。

although it wasnt celebrated in the u。s。 until 1907， there were days honoring mothers even in the days of ancient greece。 in those days， however， it was rhea， the mother of the gods that was given honor。

later， in the 1600s， in england there was an annual observance called "mothering sunday。" it was celebrated during june， on the fourth sunday。 on mothering sunday， the servants， who generally lived with their employers， were encouraged to return home and honor their mothers。 it was traditional for them to bring a special cake along to celebrate the occasion。in the u。s。， in 1907 ana jarvis， from philadelphia， began a campaign to establish a national mothers day。 jarvis persuaded her mothers church in grafton， west virginia to celebrate mothers day on the second anniversary of her mothers death， the 2nd sunday of may。 the next year mothers day was also celebrated in philadelphia。

jarvis and others began a letter-writing campaign to ministers， businessmen， and politicians in their quest to establish a national mothers day。 they were successful。 president woodrow wilson， in 1914， made the official announcement proclaiming mothers day a national observance that was to be held each year on the 2nd sunday of may。

many other countries of the world celebrate their own mothers day at different times throughout the year。 denmark， finland， italy， turkey， australia， and belgium celebrate mothers day on the second sunday in may， as in the u。s。

hospitable. But I am wondering why some people pay such little attention to the

environment and nature. In many places of the countryside, rivers have become

stinking sewers and brooks have disappeared. Heaps of garbage obstructs the

scarce flow of dirty water. The grounds are littered with plastic bottles and

bags. People are cutting down trees even though it is illegal. In some towns,

rubbish is hidden behind walls. Garbage cans are often of little use, making

cleaners must rush all day long and also by night to clean the rubbish.
