Hometown of winter is beautiful, especially when it snows, flying snow, swirl, like jade crumbs, like feathers, like petals, quietly dropped.

家乡的冬天是美丽的，家乡的冬天是寒冷的，家乡的冬天也是茫苍的。

家乡的冬天是美丽的，特别是在下雪的时候，漫天飞舞的雪花，纷纷扬扬，似玉屑，似羽毛，似花瓣，悄然落下。在彤云密布的天空中翩翩起舞。它们像玉一样洁，像银一样白，像雾一样轻，像柳条一样柔。它们是那么纯洁，纯洁得晶莹透亮;它们是那么寂静，静得悄然无声。每一片雪花都是一首宛转、悠扬、清新的乐曲;都是一首轻快、和谐、鲜明的小诗。让你的心也陶醉其中。

家乡的冬天是寒冷的。清晨，打开窗户，刺骨的寒风便钻了进来，令人睡意全消。当你张开双臂，让这寒意抚掠过你全身的时候，你似乎已忘记一切。

家乡的冬天是苍茫的，在那茫茫苍苍的云雾里，飘洒着亮晶晶小雪花。雪花飘洒到山坡上、房顶上、大地上，给天地披上了美丽的银装，苍茫之间更显壮观。此时，我被家乡那迷人的景色雪陶醉了。

这就是我家乡的冬天。我爱家乡的冬天!

The usage of Internet becomes one of the most controversial topics in the

society. As a college student, I believe Internet is beneficial to me more than

the way it harms me. There are many advantages for using Internet.

First, I can best use my time to find information online instead of going

to different libraries. Also, the information can be dated back in decades ago.

It is very helpful to use those information as reference and historical proof.

In the library, it is hard to find so much "old" information. Another advantage

to use Internet is that I can stay home and have a lecture online. It is much

more convenience to me because I can stay warm to have class in the winter time

instead of spending two hours on the bus and physically attend class. In

addition, Internet provides me a better way to communicate with my friends and

professors. I can get response from my professor in a few minutes instead of

waiting outside of his door for hours. Some of my friends are living in a

foreign countries, I can simply just drop him an email whenever I can and get a

message from him very quick. It is much better than waiting for letters. Also,

the email will not lose while the letter might be losing in the process of

delivery.

However, there are also disadvantage of using Internet. For example, I

might spend too much time on the Internet to concentrate on my study. Also,

there is a chance that I am cheated because of the Internet purchasing. Last,

Internet has lots of information, both helpful and harmful. There might be too

much tempatation that I will access some of the harmful information I can on the

Internet.

Even though the usage of Internet has both positive and negative effect to

me, I still consider Internet is a symbol of technology development. I believe I

can use the Internet very well as long as I know how to control myself.

Everyone has their own habit. I have some living habits. I will take off my

shoes and put on the slippers when I arrive home. And I get used to drink some

soup before having dinner. What’s more, I have to keep my room light on until I

fall asleep. If I am forced to change anything about this, I will be very

uncomfortable. For example, if I don’t wear slipper at home, I will be very

uncomfortable. If I can’t drink soup before dinner, I can’t eat anything. And I

can’t fall asleep if the light is off. This is my living habit. Maybe I will

change it one day, but now I can’t receive any change about them.

There are four seasons in a year, each season has different view, and I like winter best the grandeur of the snow. In winter, people like snowing came to a quiet and tastefully laid out and quiet realm, came to a glistening thoroughly tick fairy tale world. The scent of pine, the ice snow sweet, give a person a kind of cold sky of comfort. Everything is in filtration, everything in the sublimation, even my heart also in purification, become pure and good.

Dusk snow, deep cut of, seem to have emotions, like the sea surging again, can drown all, there was a uncover CangTouLouWei sense of nudity. Snowflakes all forms, were shining brilliantly, like war fighter, covered with silver armor, and like the pieces of white sails on the voyage...

So that the snow scenery magnificent, between heaven and earths a uniform color, can only see a piece of silver, as if the whole world is decorated with silver.

The continuous snow shoveling, decorated with the world, China jade leaf, pink outfit build by laying bricks or stones jade, white color, is really a snow did good gratifying spectacle.

I love snow, I love snow, I love winter more. Winter is the rings of the mind. Winter, although very cold, but it has incomparable warmth and hope.

一年有四个季节，每个季节都有不同的景色，而我最喜欢冬天下雪时的壮丽景色。冬天，大雪纷飞人们好象来到了一个幽雅恬静的境界，来到了一个晶莹透剔的童话般的世界。松的那清香，白雪的那冰香，给人一种凉莹莹的抚慰。一切都在过滤，一切都在升华，连我的心灵也在净化，变得纯洁而又美好。

黄昏的雪，深切切的，好象有千丝万缕的情绪似的，又像海水一般汹涌，能够淹没一切，还有一丝揭开藏头露尾般的裸露感。雪花形态万千、晶莹透亮，好象出征的战士，披着银色的盔甲，又像是一片片白色的战帆在远航……

雪中的景色壮丽无比，天地之间浑然一色，只能看见一片银色，好象整个世界都是用银子来装饰而成的。

雪后，那绵绵的白雪装饰着世界，琼枝玉叶，粉装玉砌，皓然一色，真是一派瑞雪丰年的喜人景象。

我爱白雪，我爱雪景，我更爱冬天。冬天是心灵的年轮。冬天，虽然十分寒冷，但是它有着无可比拟的温馨和希望。

It is widely noted that lots of traditional culture is disappearing along

with the development of technology. Many ancient architectures and traditional

ways of living have been deserted. It seems that the traditional culture and

craftsmanship will be replaced in this modern era.

The following reasons can account for the above phenomenon. Firstly,

traditional technologies are always considered ineffective while the new

sciences are always highly efficient, because modern science and technology

facilitate both our daily and academic life a lot, with which we can save much

money and time. Secondly, it is costly to protect the traditional culture,

especially the maintenance and repair of the historical buildings.

In my opinion, although traditional culture is an ancient heritage, it

couldnt keep pace with the development of society. It is the tide of history

that the traditional culture and technology will no doubt be eliminated in the

end.

Nine nine Chongyang， as with the "long" is a homonym， in the nine figures is the largest number， the meaning of life for a long time。 In ， our country the annual September 9 set as a festival for the elderly， cleverly combining traditional and modern， become respect for the elderly， and love for the elderly， help the elderly Festival。

This year the festival is coming。 For you， Chung Yeung Festival plan how had it? If you are a young person and Chung Yeung Festival this day you may gave the mom and dad a gift， or to travel， relax mood; or make a phone call to the home， let the warm greetings， a heart warming gift。 If you are an old man， you may have been a group of sympathy， or be invited to participate in activities。 Then Festival ended， but we do not like meishiren as the how how lead， must continue to show respect for the elderly， care for the elderly， care for the elderly。

Countries of the provisions of the Chung Yeung Festival this day is a festival for the elderly， the purpose of which is to use this to carry out activities to allow people to set up the consciousness of respecting。 The country has established a general acceptance of the festival， the important purpose is to remind the whole society for a certain thing， and not the only thing to do is to do。

Any activity that wants to be able to get the effect to be able to maintain a long enough time to show its significance。

In fact， the elderly are very simple， the park for a walk with the company， the weekend to go home for dinner， the phone call， can make them feel very satisfied and happy。

Parents should not only on this day， but also to remind himself， usually elderly care enough。 It is a year the Double Ninth Festival， from now let us more to care for the elderly， it is meaningful to the festival。

九九重阳，因为与“久久”同音，九在数字中又是最大数，有长久长寿的含意。年，我国把每年的九月九日定为老人节，传统与现代巧妙地结合，成为尊老、敬老、爱老、助老的老年人的节日。

今年的重阳节即将来临。对于你来说，重阳节计划怎么过呢?如果你是年轻人，重阳节这天你可能是送给了爸爸妈妈一份礼物，或者带他们出门旅游，放松心情;或者给家里打了一个的电话，让温馨的问候，成为暖心的礼物。如果你是老人，可能受到了一些组织的慰问，或者被邀请去参加活动。然后节日结束了，但是大家千万不要像没事人一样该怎么过就怎么过，一定还要继续尊敬老人，爱护老人、关心老人。

国家把重阳节这一天规定为敬老节，目的是用这种开展活动的方式来让人们树立尊老敬老的意识。国家设立一个社会普遍接受的节日，重要的目的在于提醒全社会对于某件事情的关注，而不是这件事情只有到了节日才想起来做。

任何一个希望能够获得效果的活动都要维持足够长的时间才能显示出它的意义来。

其实，老人们要求很简单，公园散步的陪伴、周末回家的晚餐、电话的问候，都能让他们感到无比的满足与幸福。

孝敬老人不仅仅要在重阳节这天，而且要时常提醒自己，平时对老人关心得够不够。又是一年重阳节，从现在开始就让我们更多地去关爱老人吧，那才是有意义的重阳节。

to seek for business cooperation. Many years ago, a non-profit organization

named the second Saturday of July as the International Day of Cooperatives. Its

purpose is to call for more cooperations between countries.

With the development of Internet, the world gets smaller, because the

communication between countries has increased. America is the superpower all the

time, but during recent times, there are so many business cooperation between

Chinese people and American people. It is known to all that China’s market is

full of vitality, so there is no doubt that cooperation between countries will

be the main trend.

efficiency. People can share the information and technology. They learn from

each other, so as to gain the precious experience and make progress. China is

the future, so more and more foreigners learn mandarin. They want to find a

place here and make their achievement. We also can gain a lot when we work with

them.

On January, 2013, the public started a campaign called Clean Your Plate. This campaign aims to call on people to save food instead of wasting anything on the plates. The main theme of this activity is do not waste any food, starting with me. This campaign was first started from Sina weibo. Just a few days, tens of thousands people in China have joined in this meaningful activity.

In my humble opinion, everybody should join in this campaign. As we all know, the Chinese traditional virtue is to be thrifty even we are live in a better life. According to the latest survey, more than 50 million tons of food is being dumped in China every year. This wasted food can feed about 200 million people for a year. The old generation usually appreciates the leftover, if there is any food in the plate, they will eat them up; while the younger generation will dump the leftovers into the dustbin, they rather spend the money on other food instead of eating leftovers. I think such behavior is not only waste of food and money, but also broadcast the wrong idea that wasting food is acceptable. People should come to realize the importance of saving food. The governments should also take measures to reduce food wastage and encourage people to eat at home. What’s more, people should put an end to the expensive feasts and banquets.

I think this campaign should be moving on. Saving food for our offspring is everybody’s responsibility. Even if you’re a wealthy man, you still need to eat up the food on your plate. Waste is not a good habit.

After I go to school, teachers always tell me to study hard, so that I can

be the excellent student. But now I have grown up, I have my own idea. The

reason for me to study hard is to return my parents’ love. When they are old, I

can make a lot of money and let them have a better life.

Its spring now. The weather is warm and comfortable. Its a good time for

hiking. Therefore, my teacher organized a climbing for us. There is a beautiful

mountain in my city and its target this time. We took bus there and arrived

there at 9 p.m.. After we took off the bus, we started to climb. The mountain is

high but the scenery is beautiful. We are so excited that we climbed fast at

first. But after a while, some of us were tired,especially girls. They did not

want to go on anymore. But some others encouraged and helped them. All of us

slowed down our speed, so that no one was left behind. About 11:00 p.m., we got

to the top of the mountain. We were so happy that we did it. We feel that all

the tiredness were worth it.

秋天过去了，冬天来了——来到马路边，呼呼的北风怒号着，像一匹饥饿的野狼吼叫时撕心裂肺的声音，又像一位妖娆多姿的芭蕾舞者转起的曼妙身影。

咚咚，阿嚏!一阵阵匆匆忙忙的脚步声，一声声因寒冷而打的喷嚏回荡在大街上。红色、白色、灰色、黑色、披风衣、大衣、羊毛衫人们穿着厚厚的衣裳，蜷缩着身子，在迎面而来的寒风的恐怖袭击下，寸步难行，他们愤怒地喊道:“啊!冬天来了。”

来到溪流前，用小手轻轻地拍打着水面，刚一碰到水，就被河水咬得通红。眺望水底，咦，那一条条可爱的鱼儿去哪儿了?大概是因为冬天的到来在水底安家了吧。看着冷冷清清的河水和冻红的手，我不由的感叹：啊，冬天来了!来到林间，踩着金叶毯，我脑子里仿佛出现了这样一个画面：一片片金灿灿的叶子被无情的冬风刮了下来，离开了大师的庇护，飘落到了地上。静静地实现自己最后的价值，化作泥土。我仿佛看到了它的不舍与泪水，仿佛听到了它的叹息:唉，冬天来了。冬天，总是那么悲凉，总是这么悄悄地来，又这么悄悄地走了

The summer holiday is coming. Our class have had a discussion about what to do during the holiday. Some are in favor of staying at home. They think its both convenient and comfortable. Whats more, they can save money for other purposes. But they will lose the chance of getting to know the outside world.

However, others prefer to go out for traveling since it can increase their knowledge and broaden their horizons. But they will spend more money and meet some difficulties while traveling.

In my opinion, it would be much better to stay at home, for I can do what I like, such as reading books, watching TV, and helping my parents with the housework.

Todays society is a highly developed technological society. However, the

shortcomings in the development process are obvious, such as: carbon dioxide,

and environmental pollution. But the most serious should be the carbon dioxide

problem.

gases. Excessive amount of carbon dioxide emissions, creating a diversified

economy and La Nina phenomena lag disorder. Two levels of glaciers melting,

polar animals lose their chance of survival at the same time, will lead to

years later. Therefore, we must take the necessary measures to reduce the

environmental impact of carbon dioxide.

For example: tree-planting activities, reduce fossil fuel use, we can from

our own, to promote low-carbon living.

Many people ask what happiness is. I don’t know why there are many people

asking this question, because I think happiness is simple. As for me, I feel

happy when I do a good job in my study. Teachers praise me and my parents are

playing with my classmates or friends is happy, too. We always have a great time

together. From above, they are all happiness.

Almost everyone knows that water covers three-fourths of the earths

surface. Most of it， however， is in the oceans and is too salty to drink. Also，

some of it is frozen and cannot be used. In fact， less than one percent is left

for the use of people， animals and plant life. All through history men have

tried to build their homes near the sources of fresh water. Now fresh water is

becoming scarce， but more and more is needed because of the increasing number of

people in the world. Some industries also use large amounts of fresh water in

the production of things such as steel， petroleum， paper and rubber and so on.

Scientists estimate that the need for fresh water will have doubled by the year

2003. If they are correct， we must find new ways of saving it or producing it.

Some nations have worked on the problem and are already sharing their

information with others. They are trying to keep their rivers from becoming

polluted. Deep wells are also being dug， and rain water is being collected in

huge artificial lakes. In one way or another， they hope to provide enough water

to satisfy the needs of their people.
