Dear editor,

As we all know, there are many kinds of rumors in our daily life. Some of them not only make us feel disturbed but also cause great damage to us.

When we face rumors, I think at first we should ignore them. Rumors will come to an end quickly if we don’t pay much attention to them. In addition, we can communicate with the people who spread the rumors in order to make them realize the harm of the rumors. Last but not least, please remember that rumors will have no effect on our life if we don’t believe them easily.

Yours

LiHua

当我们面对谣言时，我认为首先我们应该忽视他们。如果我们不重视谣言，谣言很快就会告一个底。此外，我们还可以与传播谣言的人交流，以使他们意识到谣言的危害。最后但并非最不重要的，请记住，谣言将不会影响我们的生活，如果我们不相信他们很容易。

我的外公生活在农村，虽然已年近花甲，身体不太好，但他却是一个非常开朗的人，对生活还是很向往的。

在我的家庭成员中，我最爱的就是外公了!

外公知道我最喜欢吃的是西瓜。一个炎热的下午，我在外公家，又没空调，热极了。我不停地用扇子扇风，外公见我：“童童，你这么热，我给你买一个大西瓜吧!”“好呀!好”这大热天的外公又没车，只能骑三轮车，天气的炎热加上骑车的卖力，我担心外公会中暑!“不用了，不用了，我马上就不热了!”外公心里肯定知道我想说什么，他说：“没事儿，外公身体倍儿棒!”“好吧!”我忍不住西瓜的诱惑。外公去了将近有一个多小时，还没回来。“丁零零!”外公终于回来了，他捧着一个大大的西瓜，说：“村里没有，我就骑到镇里买了一个，瞧!”外公把西瓜一切两半，把一半给我，说：“快吃吧!”我一边用勺子舀着，吃着这香甜多汁的西瓜，嘴里一边说：“好吃，好吃!”外公看着我笑了。“外公，你也吃呀!”外公舔了一下他那干裂的嘴唇，说：“外公不渴，你吃!”我看了，心里很不是滋味。

外公以前是厨师，会烧很多菜。每次到外公家，外公都会问我想吃什么，我就会像客人一样点餐。菜上了，外公不停夹菜给我，我觉得我是世界上最幸福的人!吃完饭，外公带我到湖边散心，他说：“童童，你快长大了，而我就要老了，人都会死亡，会离开自己的亲人。”“我不要您离开我!”“等你长大了，你就知道了!”

一晃，外公已离开我们五年了。现在我明白了，外公，虽然您在天堂，但我还是永远的、永远的爱着您!

今天我一个人在家，望着窗外，无聊地看着来来往往的行人和各种车子。

“叮铃铃!叮铃铃!”电话响了，我接通电话，是外公打来的。外公知道我一个人在家，说等会儿带我去他家玩。太好了，终于不用这么无聊了，我开心地蹦了起来，不由自主地哼起了小曲。

一到外公家，我还来不及换鞋。外公便笑着对我说：“今晚想吃什么，外公去买!”我说：“随便，吃什么都行，外公做的菜我都喜欢吃!”外公摸了一下我的头：“好!你先去做会儿作业，外公今天给你做好吃的。”说完便出了门。

过了许久，外公手里拎着大包小包回来了。他对我说：“这是我精挑细选出来的，来看一下，喜欢吗?”我忙打开袋子一看：“哇!买了这么多菜，今晚有口福了，谢谢外公!”说完，外公露出了吃了蜜一样的笑容，拎着袋子进了厨房。

等待的时间总是漫长的，外公在厨房里忙碌了大半个下午，洗、切、剁、煎、炒各种声音不绝于耳。我脑海里早已浮现出各种美味佳肴，想着想着，不由自主地咽了下口水。

终于开饭啦!外公照着我的口味做了好多菜，有可乐鸡翅、酸菜鱼、红烧肉每个都是我最爱吃的。外公给我盛了满满一大碗白米饭，像一座隆起的小山。外婆又在小山上种满了五颜六色的“花朵”，我每每消灭一朵花，山上又开出了一朵花，真可谓是“野火烧不尽，春风吹又生啊。”

“够了!够了!”我一下说了好多遍。外婆终于停手了，这才端起饭碗乐呵呵地开始吃她自己的饭。

外公做的菜真是好吃极了，我觉得比外面大酒店的菜都要好吃，外公不做厨师真是浪费啊!我吃到实在吃不下了才收口。

每次去外公家吃饭都会有不一样的体验，下次又会是怎样的惊喜呢?好期待啊!

Body language is used by people for sending messages to one another. It is very useful because it can help you make yourself easily understood. When you are talking with others,you are not just using words, but also using expressions and gestures. For example, waving ones hand is to say "Good-bye." A smile and handshake show welcome, and clapping hands means congratulations. Nodding the head means agreement, but shaking the head means disagreement. The gestures are accepted both by Chinese and foreigners as having the same meanings.

Different countries have different body language. For example, men in Russia, France and Arab countries kiss each other when they meet, but men in China or Australia shake hands instead of kissing. People in Puerto Rio like touching each other, but people from English speaking countries do not touth each other. If you touch an English person, you should say "Sorry. People in Arab countries like standing close to one another when they are talking, but English people must keep a distance away when they are talking. In some Asian countries, you must not touch the head of another person. In Arab countries, you eat using the fingers of your right land;the left hand is not used at all. In parts of Asia you must not sit with your feet pointing at another person.

When you use a foreign language, it is very important to know the meanings of gestures and movements in the foreign country. Following the customs will help you communicate with people and make your stay there much more pleasant and comfortable.

othing Succeeds Without a Strong Will

“Where there is a will, there is way” is an old proverb which almost everyone knows, but not all understand it so well. Actually, it means that if you are really resolved to do something, no matter how difficult it might be, never give up.

In fact, strong will is a kind of good quality which successful people should own. A great man is always one who has a firm resolution and an inflexible spirit. One will never succeed all his life without a firm will to get the final victory. As a rule, great tasks are accomplished by men of strong will. For example, Dr. Sun Yatsen, the founder of the Republic of China, set the Chinese people free from the Manchurian rule through a long period of hard struggle. Many of his attempts failed and many of his followers were killed, but he had an inflexible spirit and stuck to his cause. Finally, he made the revolution of 1911 a success. The same is true of men in all walks of life.

It is quite obvious that there is nothing difficult in the world, if you make up your mind to do it, you will certainly accomplish your end. That stands to reason. So as for students like us, we should have a good attitude towards failure. Facing with difficulties and failures, keep heads up and never give up. Besides, we should make full preparation, though strong will help us overcome the difficulties, it is not for person who has no preparation.

Should We Help Strangers?

Recently our class had a discussion about whether we should help

strangers.Different students have different opinions.

Some think we should try to help strangers. Helping others is a virtue，and

helping others is helping ourselves.We may come across some trouble and need

others help some day.If everyone isnt willing to help us just because we are

strangers to them，its hard to imagine what our world will be like.

However，some are afraid that helping others can sometimes bring us

trouble.Sometimes we are just misunderstood and even have to pay the cost of

kindness.

In my opinion，we should try our best to help others when they are in need

of help，but we should also protect ourselves from getting into trouble.If

everyone tries a little kindness，our world will be full of love.

My Hobby

English is one of my best subjects and I started learning English when I

was ten years old.

But at the very beginning, listening seemed a little difficult for me. So I

have been doing a lot of listening practice, such as listening to tapes,

watching English TV programs. And I found it really helped a lot. In fact, there

are some more helpful ways to learn English well. For example, I enjoy singing

English songs and I want to join an English club or find a pen pal from

English-speaking countries.

I believe that nothing is impossible if you put your heart into it.

There is a story that an old woman always feels unhappy, because when the sun comes out, she worries about her daughters business, because the girl sells umbrella. But when it rains, she stills feels unhappy for she worries about her another daugthers business. People tell her to change his point of view, when the it is fine, she can feel happy about her second daughters business and when it rains, she can be happy about her first daughters business. In that way, she will be a positive woman every day. We cant change the fact, but we can treat things in another way, so that we can be positive all the time.

To be or nor to be, that is a question. To succeed or to fail? How to succeed and how to achieve? These problems confuse many teenagers in nowadays.

We all have dreams, and we all work hard to realize them. But there will always be some problems and setbacks to stop the pace of advance. When they appear, what should we do? To stop or to go on? Mrs. Curie told us the answer. We all know that Mrs. Curie discovered radium, but how many people really know how hard she worked? At that time, there were many people disapprove of Mrs. Curie. Although she got over hundreds of difficulties, she still believed in herself and never gave up. Finally, she succeeded to discover radium. She proved that she was right by her continuous hard work and her strong spirit. We should learn from Mrs. Curie. She told us the truth through her own experiences that believe in yourself, you can do it! Never give up, face the difficulties with a smile, someday, you will be proud of yourself.

The key to success is confidence. It makes you brave, helps you get over the troubles, and brings motivation to you. For example, somebody always get nervous when they have an important speech, if they are in a nervous mood, the results are always terrible. But if they are confident to themselves, the results turn out to be better. Therefore, be confident, believe in yourself, keep smile in your face when comes to difficulties, and you will achieve more.

导语：端午节是古老的传统节日,始于中国的春秋战国时期,至今已有2000多年历史。端午节的由来与传说很多,下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的有关端午节的作文，欢迎阅读与借鉴，谢谢!

Duanwu Festival (端午节， Duānwū Jié) is a traditional Chinese festival held on the fifth day of the fifth month of the Chinese calendar. It is also known as the Double Fifth.[citation(引用;引证) needed] It has since been celebrated, in various ways, in other parts of East Asia as well. In the West, its commonly known as Dragon Boat Festival.

The exact origins of Duan Wu are unclear, but one traditional view holds that the festival memorializes the Chinese poet Qu Yuan (c. 340 BC-278 BC) of the Warring States Period. He committed suicide by drowning himself in a river because he was disgusted by the corruption of the Chu government. The local people, knowing him to be a good man, decided to throw food into the river to feed the fish so they would not eat Qus body. They also sat on long, narrow paddle boats called dragon boats, and tried to scare the fish away by the thundering sound of drums aboard the boat and the fierce looking carved dragon head on the boats prow(船头)。

In the early years of the Chinese Republic, Duan Wu was also celebrated as "Poets Day," due to Qu Yuans status as Chinas first poet of personal renown(名声名望)。

Today, people eat bamboo-wrapped steamed glutinous(粘的) rice dumplings called zongzi (the food originally intended to feed the fish) and race dragon boats in memory of Qus dramatic death.

The cartoon vividly reveals the phenomenon of air pollution or the decline of air quality. What exactly contribute to this phenomenon? Possible reasons can be listed as follows: firstly, vehicle exhaust gases could be one of the most leading causes. With the improvement of economy and peoples living standard, urban inhabitants in mounting numbers own their private cars. More automobiles will inevitably generate more exhaust gases. Additionally, household appliances widely used in cities also release a great mount of carbon dioxide gases, which further intensifies air pollution. Last but not least, many factories around the cities emit large quantities of untreated poisonous gases, which should also be responsible for the decline of air quality.

Definitely, air pollution will exert a detrimental impact on many aspects of peoples life. For example, many diseases such as cough, skin problem and lang cancer are caused by it. Perhaps it is high time that we should adopt some measures to solve the problem of air pollution.

​导语：人口老龄化是指总人口中因年轻人口数量减少、年长人口数量增加而导致的老年人口比例相应增长的动态。下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的优秀英语作文，欢迎阅读与借鉴，谢谢!

The problem of old age is known as one of the most serious problem in todays world. The old people can be seen everywhere. As is shown in the graph, the number of people in the world over the age of sixty will have increased to 600 million by the end of this century. And by the time, there will also be twice as many people over the age of eighty. In the ten years between 1970 and 1980, there was a 23.7% increase in the number of people aged over sixty-five in the industrial world, and an even bigger increase of 38.2% in the developing world.

With the development of economy, the rise in peoples living standards and the improvement of medical conditions, people are living longer and longer. Furthermore, birth rates are falling as the pace of population growth slows down. As a result, the number of old people in the world is experiencing an increase. Though the increase will cause manifold social and economic consequences, we can take effective measures to deal with it. So I believe a bright tomorrow for old people will be achieved through efforts of every person.

【参考译文】

老年问题被认为是当今世界最严重的问题之一。到处都可以看到老年人。如图所示，到本世纪末，六十岁以上的世界人口将增至6亿人。到那时，也会有两倍于八十岁以上的人。在1970至1980年间的十年间，工业世界六十五岁以上人口增加了23.7%，发展中世界人口增长了38.2%。

随着经济的发展，人民生活水平的提高，医疗条件的改善，人们的寿命越来越长。此外，随着人口增长速度放慢，出生率也在下降。结果，世界上老年人的数量正在增加。虽然增加会造成多种社会和经济后果，但我们可以采取有效措施加以处理。所以我相信，老年人的光明明天将通过每个人的努力来实现。

This cartoon displays a very soothing scene. An old lady bought some stuff from a convenience store, and just at the moment when she was about to leave, the store keeper ran out to her because she had paid an extra two yuan. Though that is not a big amount of money, I believe the old lady must be greatly impressed by the keeper’s honesty.

It is without doubt that the cartoon aims at addressing a serious problem prevailing in today’s society, that is, the lack honesty in the field of business. For instance, many businessmen are so obsessed with making profit that they simply forget that they are supposed to serve the people with best products and services. Therefore, there emerge fake products, cheating services and unfulfilled promises. In contrast, the kind-hearted keeper of this drawing practices honesty in every detail of her work. Her attitude gives customer the sense that her product and service are of first-class quality, which would guarantee her more customersand credit.

The store keeper’s practice is exactly what we should advocate among all businesses. That is because, honesty not only renders clients temporary satisfaction, but can also build long-term customer trust. The latter is one of the key factors for market expansion and business success.
