In China, Mid-autumn Day is considered to be a symbol of family reunion. On

this day, all the family members gather together at home to celebrate this

special occasion. Last year, I could not celebrate the festival with my family

because I was in university. However, this special day left a deep impression on

me.

I still remember the atmosphere of that evening. All the students who could

not go back home assembled in our classroom, having a party to celebrate this

traditional festival. We tried our best to show our own enthusiasm. As an ethnic

minority, I performed a peacock dance, which received warm applause. After the

two-hour party, we went out to the playground and sat together to appreciate the

moon because it is a tradition on Mid-autumn Day. (www.fwsir.com)We ate moon

cakes, played cards, and listened to romantic poems recited by one of our

classmates. In that harmonious atmosphere, nobody felt lonely or homesick even

though we were far away from our homes

Thanks to our classmates, I experienced such a colorful and interesting

Mid-autumn Day at my university. Thus, I learned to value all the festivals I

spent during my university life.

Since I was at school, I have heard a lot about college. A boy near my

house is in college now, every time I meet him, I will ask him how he feels

about campus life, he smiles and tells me many funny things.The ideal college

has been built in my mind. There is beautiful trees and flours, boys and girls

talk and walk happily, they share things together, students and teachers discuss

course. In the lake, some students talk to foreigners, what an enjoyable

situation. In order to go to my ideal college, I must work hard.

Everyone needs a friend, because we are not the only one in the world. We

need someone to talk to and share our happiness and sorrow. Last night, I saw a

movie, the protagonist’s friend asked him what was a friend, and he gave the

answer that a friend was someone you can talk about your secret and you would

share food with. It is a child’s opinion, and it is simple and real. A friend is

someone who we can trust, we don’t have to hide ourselves and just who we are.

We will feel comfortable with them. When we are in trouble, we will think of

them and they will come to help.

The air we breathe is so freely available that we take it for granted. Yet without it we could not survive more than a few minutes. For the most part, the same air is available to everyone, and everyone needs it. Some people use the air to sustain them while they sit around and feel sorry for themselves. Others breathe in the air and use the energy it provides to make a magnificent life for themselves.

Opportunity is the same way. It is everywhere. Opportunity is so freely available that we take it for granted. Yet opportunity alone is not enough to create success. Opportunity must be seized and acted upon in order to have value. So many people are so anxious to "get in" on a "ground floor opportunity", as if the opportunity will do all the work. Thats impossible.

Just as you need air to breathe, you need opportunity to succeed. It takes more than just breathing in the fresh air of opportunity, however. You must make use of that opportunity. Thats not up to the opportunity. Thats up to you. It doesnt matter what "floor" the opportunity is on. What matters is what you do with it.

Hello, everyone. Im glad to introduce myself to you. Im from Chongqing. I

am a teacher. I have many hobbies, such as taking notes, reading, listening to

music, dancing, singing, playing basketball and swimming. I think we should

treat everyday as the last day for us to live in the world. That is me. I like

making friends. I hope I can be your friends.

I like to travel very much. I always dream to be independent and travel by

my own. But my parents worry about me all the time. They think I will meet

problems and can’t solve. In oder to comfort them, I decide to travel with a

friend of mine and they agree. This was the first time for me to leave my home

and I had to do all the things on my own. Firstly, I book the ticket and the

hotel, and the big problem is to find the hotel. So I search the Internet and

downloaded a software to guide me, then I found my way easily. I read all kinds

of information and select the part that is useful to me. I found the funny

places and local food, what’s more, I would not lose my way. Travel makes me

stronger.

When I went to middle school, it was hard for me to adjust the new

environment at first, because there were so many subjects to learn, I fell

behind other students. I did not know what to do, I just wanted to get away from

school. I talked about my annoyance to my friend, she told me that I got too

much pressure and she suggested me to take relax and made progress step by step.

She said everything would be better someday. Now I have made progress and when I

look back on the passed days, it was just a small problem for me. I got over the

hard moment and become a strong person.

Sunflowers

向日葵

A sunflower is a kind of beautiful and useful plant. Its face is round and golden, looks like the sun. Thats why people call it sunflowers.

向日葵时一种美丽而有用的植物。它的脸时圆形，金黄色，看上去像太阳，这就是为什么人们叫它为“向日葵”。

It faces the sun all the time during the day. When autumn comes, sunflower fruit is ripe. People like eating them in their free time. Whats more, people can also make oil from them.

在白天它一直面朝太阳。秋天到来时，葵花籽熟了。人们在休闲时喜欢吃葵花籽。而且，人们还用葵花籽榨油。

A sunflower brings us not only beauty but also delicious seeds.

向日葵不仅给我们带来了美，而且提供了好吃的葵花籽。

How about you?

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.

With our world developing,more and more people neglect how to conduct

theirselves.What is the most common reflection of this phenomenon is

dishonesty,which is now seriously influencing relationship between people.

Being dishonest can do harm not only to others but also to

ourselves,thus,we must get aware of the importance of boycoting it.Take the case

of the Sanlu powder for example.After drinking Sanlu fake powder,lots of babies

got sick and had big heads,nevertheless,their bodies still thin.People hateful

too much,the Sanlu corporation expectedly get punished and never have choice to

make up their faults.

When it comes to the significances of being honest,I consider,we will make

good relationship bewteen others,such as in the school ,in the busineand in the

society.Furthermore,only if we are honest to others can others become friendly

to us.Therefore,cultivate a virtue of honesty and we will get better.

When autumn comes, I feel so excited, because the sports meeting comes. I

like sports so much. When I was very small, my father took me to watch the

basketball match, in the long time, sports have become part of my life. When I

started to come to school, I join the basketball team, I had the great time to

practice with my friends. Though high school life is very busy and I have to

learn so many subjects, I still keep taking exercise everyday. Sports meeting

time is my favorite time in the semester. I can take part in many activities,

such as basketball and high jump. I am full of energy, I just want to enjoy the

moment of taking exercise. Sports meeting indeed brings students many energy and

make the students become active. They can also exercise their bodies.

I did very bad in the mid-term exams two weeks ago. After that, my life

seemed to be so dark and hard. My parents felt disappointed to me, and they

always told me to study during my free time. I couldnt watch TV for more than

half an hour and I couldnt search the Internet or play games. Besides, I feel

depressed and I almost lost my heart. But yesterday, my friend came to see me.

She knew I was not happy. She encouaged me that nothing is impossible. If I

could try hard from now on, I would do good in my study. Where there is a will,

there is a way. Only confidence and hardwork can pull me out from failure. If I

want to be good as before, I have to let this failure go and restart again.

When the national entrance examination is over, people always pay more

attention to those who are enrolled by colleges and universities. Those who

failed the examination are treated coldly. Being enrolled by colleges and

universities is, of course, worth congratulating. But giving the successful

candidates excessive praise and neglecting those who failed the examination

might send the wrong message: young people do not have a bright future unless

they go to college or university.

Teachers, parents and society, therefore, should give more attention to

students failing the examination. They are in more urgent need of understanding,

warmth and encouragement. We should tell them that to go to college is not the

only way to success, and that, if they make enough effort, they can still

develop talents in other occupations that will serve society.

Personally, the country’s economic development requires not only

specialized scientists and technical experts, but also knowledge-based workers

and skilled laborers. After some vocational training, these senior high school

students can also become backbones in their own fields and contribute their

wisdom to our society.

The passage mainly tells us the importance of protecting traditional

Chinese culture, which is challenged or facing extinction because of the

developing society and changing lifestyle. Besides, China is nationwide sparing

no efforts to do it.

The protection of national and folk culture is of great significance to

Chinese cultural diversity and also to the harmonious development between local

economic and social development. It is reported that the Guangdong government

pays special attention to protecting Chaoju(潮剧)， a local drama born in Chaozhou

in the eastern Guangdong province.

In my opinion, some measures should be taken to protect traditional culture

effectively. To start with, we should make a law to regulate the society’s

performance. Besides, we should draw more people’s attention to it, for the more

they know about the importance of culture protection, the stronger the support

we can get from the public.

In a word, it is high time for us to treasure and develop our own valuable

culture.

I imagine a lot about lives in the future. I think two words can summarize

my imagination. The first word is fast. In the future, we will have more quickly

transportation means. Now matter how far we go, it takes only a short time. With

the development of science and technology, we can travel to the moon, Mars or

somewhere outer space. People may can live in other planets. The second word is

convenient. Because of the fast development of our society, many work can be

done by computers or even robots. Lots of things are fully automated. Humans

just need to give some simple instructions to complete complecated tasks.

Honesty is pay attention to all aspects of, business, work, life,

friends... All want to pay attention to integrity, people need good faith

relationship; Business integrity is needed to maintain their livelihood, to

maintain the cooperation with other companies. Honesty can make others to

oneself, also can let the oneself career and life. Honesty is small enough to

make his own body and mind, big enough to make myself famous. Honesty can help

her in her career success, also can obtain happiness in life.

Said honesty is not only, also want to action, learn to learn to integrity,

not confess to others about their bad things to others, and an honest heart also

need careful, cautious people, while others, trust yourself and be careful.

Integrity needs to insist on, only insist on will increase, there is an idiom

called a good day, we have to do a sincere, only insist to maintain our

unchanging moral character, can improve their body and mind in honesty, hone

their endurance, this is not a the best of both worlds?

Honesty is honest and trustworthy, a man of faith is often mistake by

others. Honest need courage and cautious, credit needs to insist on and perfect,

only do this, can complete is honesty.

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.

Nowadays,there is a increasing number for people to join in the activities

of volunteering.Its well-known that volunteering job is making contribution to

the society with nothing in return.Its like the Leifeng spirit.However,knowing

this,there are still many people would like to devote themseves in this

trend.For instance,the 20__ Beijing Olympic Games has so many volunteers.They

made lots of contribution to the success of opening the Olympics.Moreover,we can

often see that there many students go to geroium to visit the old to bring warm

to the lonely people.Even there are some peoples career is volunteer.They are

ready to help others.Although the volunteers are much more mon,we still need to

thanks them to admire them devoting themseves to the society.

如今，有越来越多的人加入到志愿服务行业。众所周知，志愿者工作是对社会的无私贡献。就像雷锋精神一样。然而，虽然意识到这一点但还是有很多人愿意奉献于这个行业。例如，20__年北京奥运会有这么多的志愿者。他们为奥运会的成功举行做了很多的贡献。此外，我们经常能够看到，有很多学生去敬老院看望老人给他们带去温暖。甚至有些人的职业就是志愿者。他们时刻准备好去帮忙别人。虽然志愿者是越来越常见了，但我们仍然要感谢他们钦佩他们为社会奉献自我。

Generally speaking, life in high school is busy and fulfilling, due to the

ultimate goal---College Entrance Examination. Many people say that there is no

fun left but bored study and endless exercises. However, as a high school

student, I can’t agree with them. Personally, I live a fruitful but happy life

in high school. It can’t be denied that study is my priority that I must spend

most of my time and energy on it. Sometimes, study may make me frustrated or

even drive me crazy, but I still can adjust my mood to enjoy my life. Besides, I

can also get a sense of achievement when I do well in my study or make progress.

The most important is that my friends bring much happiness to me and my parents’

care inspires me to go on. I think friends in high school are my best friend

forever, because they know me a lot and witness all of my emotions. They are the

persons who grow with me. In addition, teachers in high school care much about

our students both in study and life, and classmates are always friendly to each

other. We build deep friendship together. All of these make up my fruitful life

in high school, which I will cherish forever.
