Often see on TV low-carbon living four word. We did it that low carbon life?

Im in the neighbourhood of low carbon life made a social investigation. The survey found that the survival of our environment around the carbon footprint: streets, go throw cigarette butts, plastic bags and paper towels; Restaurants in the dining hall, one by one with white foam lunch box and disposable chopsticks; Flowing along the river basin, the bright, domestic sewage and industrial wastewater... So big polluted ecological environment. Within the family, also inadvertently leave carbon footprints. In a family, for example: electricity, gas, water, self-drive...

We should actively advocate and to practice low-carbon life, pay attention to energy saving, solar terms, an hour to go to bed... Starts from the intravenous drip.

People enjoy at the same time, also made the survival of the killer - carbon. Therefore, it is very urgent to advocate low carbon life.

在电视上经常看到低碳生活四个字。那低碳生活我们做到了吗。

我在小区里对低碳生活作了一次社会调查。调查发现，我们的生存环境遍布碳的足迹：大街小巷，烟头、塑料袋和纸巾到处乱扔;餐馆饭堂里，堆满一个个白色泡沫饭盒和一次性筷子;沿河流域中，流淌着黑得发亮的生活污水和工业污水……生态环境因此大受污染。在家庭内部，也不经意地留下碳的足迹。以一个家庭为例：用电、用气、用水、自驾车……我以大家出行方式做了记录

低碳生活代表着更健康、更自然、更安全的生活，同时也是一种低成本、低代价的生活方式。低碳不仅是企业行为，对于我们这些普通人来说，就是一种生活态度。我们应该积极提倡并去实践低碳生活，要注意节电、节气、熄灯一小时……从这些点滴做起。

人们在尽情享受的同时，也制造了生存的杀手---碳。因此，提倡低碳生活刻不容缓。

But the result might be that he probably lost many precious things,such as health and his family.So working is not everything of ones life.Besides working, we should enjoy life more and pay attention to our health.

到头来却有可能失去很多东西，比如健康、家庭。因此工作绝不是生命的全部。除了工作，我们还要学会享受生活，珍视身体。

How to keep a good relationship with parents

In my opinion, I have too many rules at home. My parents never allow me to go out with my friends at night. They don’t allow me to choose my own clothes, either. And they pay too much attention to my exam results. I think my parents don’t quite understand me.

However, I try my best to understand them. Although they don’t allow me to make my own decisions and give me too much presure, I know that it is because they really love me and want me to have a bright future.

In order to keep a good relationship with my parents, I study hard and listen to them. I talk with them as friends, and always tell them my troubles. I also help them do some housework.

沿着校园的小道往前走，就会看到走廊上有一排紫滕花架，下面是一排用大理石砌成的长凳，上面是拱形的不锈钢架。春天，紫藤抽出新的枝条，长出了嫩绿的叶子。夏天，紫藤枝叶长得最茂盛，密密层层的枝叶挡着夏天火辣辣的太阳，同学们在她的怀里看书，玩耍。到了秋天，深绿色的叶子下就会长出像扁豆一样的果实。不仔细找还找不到它呢。冬天，才有一些叶子慢慢变黄，紫藤弯弯曲曲地缠绕在架子上。

紫藤花架的后面有一片石林，巨型的石柱像一把把锋利的宝剑一样直入云霄，它们大小不一，形态万千。

冬爷爷来了，天气变冷了，冬爷爷吹了一口气，大地铺上了一层雪白的地毯，让大树换上了白色的外衣，让房子变成了一座座美丽的雪房子，天空中飘着朵朵洁白的雪花，人们都穿上了厚厚的棉衣棉裤……

星期六的早晨，下了一场大雪，大雪纷纷扬扬地从天上飘到大地妈妈的怀抱里，给大地盖上了一层雪白的棉被。我醒了，伸了一个懒腰，从床上下来，穿好衣服，被外面的雪景吸引住了!我走到窗前，看见了一幅美丽的景色 ：外面下着鹅毛大雪，调皮的雪花娃娃从天上飘到大地妈妈的怀抱里，让大地盖上了一层雪白的棉被，啊!高楼大厦都变成了一座座白色的城堡，大树换上了银装，所有的花儿，草儿都凋谢了，只有梅花还在那里美美地开着。

我看到了这么美丽的景色，连忙跑到楼下，先滚了两个大雪球，把它们摞起来，然后，拿了两颗小石子当小雪人的眼睛，再拿一个胡萝卜当小雪人的鼻子，再拿几颗小石子当小雪人的嘴巴，我又拿了一顶小帽子给小雪人戴上，再拿来两根树棍当小雪人的胳膊，我又滚了两个小雪球当小雪人的手，我害怕小雪人冷，还特意给小雪人为了一条长长的围巾。

啊!冬天真美!我爱冬天!

The laurel trees give off fragrance. The perfume makes its way stralght into my nose. The brlght red canna are standing behind rows of tall plane trees. I am waiting for their leaves to turn yellow.Then l can trample on the fallen leaves on both sides of the ground.

At times the autumn rain keeps falling silandy on the trees and flowers and the ground. It washes everything clean. When the sun comes out, the droplets shine bright on the yellow leaves.

What a beautiful painting! Autumn is the season for harvest no pains, no gains. I must study hard so that I can have a big harvest in all my subjects.

我最喜欢的季节是什么呢?是春天?夏天?秋天?还是冬天?对了，是夏天，我哪一点喜欢夏天呢?请往下看吧!夏天非常炎热，连家门也不敢出，只有一个办法，去游泳，去游泳可以避暑，也可以游到太阳下山，还可以健身，在游泳池里还可以玩打水仗，水上有船……水上有船是我和朋友一起发明的游戏，是这样玩的：有一个人坐在游泳圈里，一个人把另一个人送到目的地，把那个人送到之后，就接另一个人。

夏天不止游泳，还可以去公园乘凉，公园里会卖一些雪糕，还有一些老人拿着扇子扇啊扇，还有一些年轻人打着太阳伞，还有一些人在家里休息，有阳台的人家都在阳台上乘凉呢!

夏天这个季节是我最最喜欢的一个季节，每次到夏天，爸爸妈妈不带我去游泳，我都会闷闷不乐的，所以我的爱好不能没有夏天。

神奇的宇宙给地球带来了四个各不相同的季节，有百花争艳的春季，骄阳似火的夏季、果实累累的秋季和寒风刺骨的冬季。

春天，万物从沉睡中苏醒。一簇簇桃花开满枝头，散发着淡淡的清香;小草顽皮地钻出地面，动瞧瞧、西看看;柳树刚冒出嫩叶儿，一片片抱在一起，好像是几个难舍难分的小兄弟;庄稼也变得绿油油的招人喜爱。小燕子从南方飞来了，在清澈的水面上自由飞翔，小鸭子跟着妈妈在小溪里戏水。

夏天，火辣辣的太阳毫不留情地烤着大地上的一切。大地被烤得发焦发烫，地面上仿佛被一个巨大的蒸笼罩住了。只有知了在枝头一个劲儿地叫着，好像在喊：“热呀，热呀!”月季花开放了，红的、白的、粉红的，真是鲜艳夺目、美不胜收。树木长得郁郁葱葱，密密层层的枝叶为人们挡住了火辣辣的太阳。

秋天，花儿谢了，枯黄的叶子漫天飞舞，就像要把大地变成黄色似的。天蓝蓝的，洁净得就像刚洗过的蓝宝石。果园里的果树上长满了果子，有苹果、橘子、梨、香蕉……

冬天，鹅毛般的大雪纷纷扬扬地飘落下来。地上铺的是雪，厚厚的、软软的。房子上落的是雪，白皑皑的、又松又软。树上盖的是雪，积雪把树枝压弯了腰。太阳照在白雪上，发出耀眼的光芒。

每个季节都有自己不同的特点，它们不同的特点给我们带来了不同的快乐。

炎热的夏日来临了，空气中的热气随风飘荡，迎面吹来，还是那么热。人们因为天气的炎热，似乎心不在焉，我坐着，头晕晕的，像人们一样心不在焉地写着作文，觉得无聊，便朝窗外望去。

公园里绿树成荫，花草树木因为天气的燥热，像小孩被批评那样耷拉着脑袋，垂头丧气。河面像一面镜子，没有一点波纹。河边的绿树有次序的种着，或许是因为天气太热，它们都无精打采的，柳树下的几条石凳，每隔一段时间就会有人前来光顾，有些人直接找了一块阴凉的地方，睡在了地上。公园里的知了特别多，它们不停地叫着，像在给人们唱催眠曲，让人们入睡，能够做一个好梦。

马路上时常会响起喇叭声，和汽车发动的声音，虽然天气很热，但依然有许多汽车在马路上来回穿梭，斑马线上也有许多人在行走。汽车开着空调，让外面更加炎热，让人们心情也很烦躁，一片死气沉沉。

I was born in a small village with a hill behind it and many big areas of feilds in front. Most of the villagers live in tall buildings like the people in cities.In their home, they have telephones,TV sets,washing machines and so on.They can also use drinking water supplied by the water company in the village,but it costs them a little money every year.If they plant crops, the goverment will give them some money as encouragement.The more land they farm, the more money they will get.All around the year, they work on their farm land for only four or five months.In the rest time,they often work in the cities nearby for money.They needn’t worry about anything for living, such as food or clothes.

There is a tall teaching building with a computer room, a reading room, a meeting room,a lab and sixteen class-rooms in our school.Around it are big trees and behind the building is a wide playground for us to do sports on.All the teachers work carefully and teach us very well.

What is more,when we are ill or want to do some shopping and so on, everything is OK without leaving the village.

But in the past, it is said there were few people living in two houses made of wood,grass and mud.That is why it is still called Two Houses today.It is not hard to imagine what their life was like.

Now I feel that I am proud of my hometown.As a student,I must study hard to get more knowledge so that I can build my village better when I grow up.

我出生在一个小村庄有它背后的山和许多大的行业领域。大多数村民住在高楼大厦像在城市里的人。在家里,他们有电话、电视机、洗衣机等等。他们还可以使用饮用水由自来水公司提供在村里,但每年花费他们一点钱。如果他们种庄稼,政府会给他们一些钱作为鼓励。他们农场的土地越多,他们将会得到更多的钱。周围,他们工作在他们的农场土地上只有四、五个月。在休息时间,他们经常在附近的城市工作。他们不必担心任何生活,如食物或衣服。

The thermometer had dropped to 18 degrees below zero, but still chose to sleep in the porch as usual. In the evening, the most familiar sight to me would be stars in the sky. Though they were a mere sprinkle of twinkling dots, yet I had become so accustomed to them that their occasional absence would bring me loneliness and ennui.

It had been snowing all night, not a single star in sight. My roommate and I, each wrapped in a quilt, were seated far apart in a different corner of the porch, facing each other and chatting away.

She exclaimed pointing to something afar, “Look, Venus in rising!” I looked up and saw nothing but a lamp round the bend in a mountain path. I beamed and said pointing to a tiny lamplight on the opposite mountain, “It’s Jupiter over there!”

More and more lights came into sight as we kept pointing here and there. Lights from hurricane lamps flickering about in the pine forest created the scene of a star-studded sky. With the distinction between sky and forest obscured by snowflakes, the numerous lamp-lights now easily passed for as many stars.

Completely lost in a make-believe world, I seemed to see all the lamplights drifting from the ground. With the illusory stars hanging still overhead, I was spared the effort of tracing their positions when I woke up from my dreams in the dead of night.
