《西游记》是大家耳熟能详的故事了，从幼时的连续剧，儿时的动画片，再到现在的书籍。西游记陪我们一步一个脚印的踏了过来。它的情节曲折生动，语言简练精辟，让人们回味无穷。

作者吴承恩字汝忠。号射阳山人，淮安府山阳县人(今江苏省淮安市淮安区，汉族，明代小说家。吴承恩大约40岁才补得一个岁贡生，到北京等待分配官职，没有被选上，由于母老家贫，去做了长兴县丞，终因受人诬告，两年后“拂袖而归”，晚年以卖文为生，他自幼喜欢读野言稗史，熟悉古代神话和民间传说。官场的失意，生活的困顿，使他加深了对封建科举制度、黑暗社会的认识，促使他运用志怪小说的形式来表达内心的不满。撰写了《西游记》

《西游记》讲述了唐僧依次收服齐天大圣——孙悟空、天蓬元帅——猪八戒、卷席大将——沙悟净、西海龙王三太子——白龙马，并保护唐僧西天取经，沿途降妖伏魔，历经九九八十一难，到达西天，取得真经，修成正果的故事。

《西游记》中刻画了多个形象，进行对比。孙悟空：勇敢、聪慧、敏捷、敢爱敢恨。唐僧：善良、诚心向佛、固执，举止文雅、和善。猪八戒：贪吃好色、贪生怕死、但又性格温和。沙和尚：任劳任怨，忠心，心地善良、默默无闻。又用多种天神突出了那些封建社会人的贪婪。唐僧师徒四人的优秀品质，促使了他们最终的收获。

刚开始看《西游记》是抱着一种“为了读书而读书”的心态而读的，可适当读久了之后，就越来越期待后面的内容，仿佛这本书有着一种魔力，引领着我向后读。

在学习的途中，大家可都想过放弃?都想过半途而废?都想过前功尽弃?当这时，就想想唐僧师徒吧，想他们历经千辛万苦，却毫无怨言，孙悟空虽然曾中途回去过，但为了师父还是一如既往的冲在前面保护大家，在学习中何尝不是?

我们应该认真品读西游记中的每个情节，人物，这样可以得到更多收获更多思想和坚持的理由!

After reading this book I think it is necessary to share the old legend to everybody .

There is a legend about a bird which sings just once in its life, more sweetly than any other creature on the face of the earth. From the moment it lea一ves the nest it searches for a thorn tree, and does not rest until it has found one. Then, singing among the sa一vage branches, it impales itself upon the longest, sharpest spine. And, dying, it rises above its own agony to out- carol the lark and the nightingale. One superlative song, existence the price. But the whole world stills to listen, and God in His hea一ven smiles. For the best is only bought at the cost of great pain …

Meggie Cleary is just like the bird,and Ralph is her superlative song.

I read the book then watched the movie, both of them ga一ve me great shock, I really admire Meggie,she had the courage to use her whole life to love Ralph, never ga一ve up. She believed that she would love Ralph only in her life. But I don’t like Meggie’s attitude to love, Ralph is a Father, and he mustn’t love Meggie, they really loved each other, but they are not destined to be together. So in my opinion I think Meggie should give in, she shouldn’t fight with God, Ralph had told her he would serve God forever, so Meggie wouldn’t win. Maybe giving up is a good choice. Their love is painful.

Tell the turth I don’t like Meggie neither Ralph, Ralph could not give Meggie happniess while Meggie couldn’t support Ralph to concentrate on his work. So they would not ha一ve happy life, they only made each other feel sad .

Frank is my fa一vorite role. he was short but strong ,and he was one of the main labor in his family. He didn’t want to be a shepherd, but the family needed him , and he must feed he the sheep so that everybody in his family can live better. Once he escaped from home , but it wassn’t long before his father found him and take him home. I feel so sorry that he had a miserable fate. He longed for freedom but most of his life didn’t belong to himself, it’s really a pity .

Frank was different to every man in their home, he loved his mother deeply, and he always helped his mother do the housework. he dreamed to be an outstanding boxer. Frank was considerable, and he always try his best to make Meggie feel happy. As Meggie’s oldest brother, he could be worried about Meggie’s fa一vorite doll, and he even tried to fixed the doll which was distroyed by Meggie’s other brothers. Frank and Meggie would always tell each other what they thought in their deep heart , and they are close friends.

I was so sad when I learned that Frank killed a man and he was sent to the prision. It is really a big shock to Meggie, for Frank was the only one who can listen to Meggie’s secrets. She thought she lost Frank forever. I cannot imagine how painful for Frank to spend dozens years in the prision. He once had good dream about his life, but he had to waste most of his life in prision. In my opinion it was Frank’s father that distoryed his life. His father didn’ t give him freedom, and Frank can’t had strong resistance spirits, and because he didn’t control himself and broke the law.The energitic Frank will never come to us, and he became a man who didn’t wanna talk. He began to be afraid of the world…it is really a pity.

As for Meggie, I think she was a good girl. She was beautiful and smart, but she it was wrong for her to love Ralph. Meggie was an excellent girl, she was able to find an outstanding boy to love her, but she put all her love on Ralph even she married Luke. She married Luke just because Luke looked like Ralph. Meggie wanna be a thorn bird, but I think it was too cruel to her. She was so kind that she shouldn’t stand that king of pain, and I think she was born to ha一ve a happy life. I pity for her.

Both the story of thorn birds and the legend are painful and beautiful, but not every one can be the thorn birds, because it is not our porpose to ha一ve a painful life. We are born to be happy. Olny happiness is the ture meaning of life while the story was written for us to enrich our life. It is a wonderful story.

因为人的记忆力有选择啊，有的人天生对语言天生敏感，所以记得就快，有的人对历史敏感，记忆历史就比别人快。所以人的记忆力不能一概而论，这是我多年学习的经验，和个人理解。

第一，你不要把英语单词当成中文的象形文字来记，中文的记忆有形象关系，但是单词时无意义的字母排序，背得时候一定要理解英语的发音规律，先要记没个单词的发音，有的发音如tioneror什么的你一定发现了几个字母组合法特定的音，按发音记！

有时候宁肯先记发音！

因为有时候，你甚至能根据发音，你自己就能写出来，何必要背。其实英语的字母单词，不是很规律的，不想拼音的，但还是有一定的规律。

其实背英语单词，不能死记是真的，但是一定要持之以恒，首先要有心理准备，要有自信。

你背英语单词的时候可以边默读便用笔在一张纸上写，就是随便写一些，主要是加深印象。

我的习惯是第一次背时先写5遍/单词，隔天写3遍/单词。过一段时间再重复。这样记虽然慢，但是很扎实。

而且还要注意，背单词应该背词典，就是你背一个词的形式，比如名词，最好翻阅词典，把其他的形式也给背过。这样看起来，似乎比较费脑子，实际上我认为，这样无形中很快，因为你背单词就是要用在阅读上，这样背的话既实用又能无形中体会出英语的变形规律，以后就会背的很快乐。

英语背单词，实际取决于你已经背的单词量。

不是英语专业的人，但是愿意分享我的经验，希望你能背得越来越轻松。

Oliver Twist, one of the most famous works of Charles Dickens’, is a novel reflecting the tragic fact of the life in Britain in 18th century.

The author who himself was born in a poor family wrote this novel in his twenties with a view to reveal the ugly masks of those cruel criminals and to expose the horror and violence hidden underneath the narrow and dirty streets in London.

The hero of this novel was Oliver Twist, an orphan, who was thrown into a world full of poverty and crime.

He suffered enormous pain, such as hunger, thirst, beating and abuse.

While reading the tragic experiences of the little Oliver, I was shocked by his sufferings.

I felt for the poor boy, but at the same time I detested the evil Fagin and the brutal Bill.

To my relief, as was written in all the best stories, the goodness eventually conquered devil and Oliver lived a happy life in the end.

One of the plots that attracted me most is that after the theft, little Oliver was allowed to recover in the kind care of Mrs.

Maylie and Rose and began a new life.

He went for walks with them, or Rose read to him, and he worked hard at his lessons.

He felt as if he had left behind forever the world of crime and hardship and poverty.

How can such a little boy who had already suffered oppressive affliction remain pure in body and mind? The reason is the nature of goodness.

I think it is the most important information implied in the novel by Dickens-he believed that goodness could conquer every difficulty.

Although I don’t think goodness is omnipotent, yet I do believe that those who are kind-hearted live more happily than those who are evil-minded.

For me, the nature of goodness is one of the most necessary character for a person.

Goodness is to humans what water is to fish.

He who is without goodness is an utterly worthless person.

On the contrary, as the famous saying goes, ‘The fragrance always stays in the hand that gives the rose’, he who is with goodness undoubtedly is a happy and useful person.

People receiving his help are grateful to him and he also gets gratified from what he has done, and thus he can do good to both the people he has helped and himself.

To my disappointment, nowadays some people seem to doubt the existence of the goodness in humanity.

They look down on people’s honesty and kindness, thinking it foolish of people to be warm-hearted.

As a result, they show no sympathy to those who are in trouble and seldom offer to help others.

On the other hand, they attach importance to money and benefit.

In their opinion, money is the only real object while emotions and morality are nihility.

If they cannot get profit from showing their ‘kindness’, they draw back when others are faced with trouble and even hit a man when he is down.

They are one of the sorts that I really detest.

Francis Bacon said in his essay, ‘Goodness, of all virtues and dignities of the mind, is the greatest, being the character of the Deity, and without it, man is a busy, mischievous, wretched thing, no better than a kind of vermin.’

That is to say a person without goodness is destined to lose everything.

Therefore, I, a kind person, want to tell those ‘vermin-to-be’ to learn from the kind Oliver and regain the nature of goodness.

这本书主要讲了：小猪威尔伯和蜘蛛夏洛成了一对好朋友，可是小猪威尔伯将来的命运竟是被做成火腿!夏洛为了救朋友，用自己的丝织出了被人类视为奇迹的网上文字——“王牌猪”，威尔伯得救了，但夏洛的生命却走到了尽头……

善良的蜘蛛夏洛用自己的生命为小猪威尔伯织出了一张“爱心”的大网，这张网充满了夏洛和威尔伯的深深友情。这种友情好像是冬天的热咖啡，简单却可以融化每一颗冰冷的心。

读了《夏洛的网》，我深深体会到了友爱的力量，感受到了一份真诚友谊的珍贵!和一只渺小的蜘蛛比，我感到很惭愧。为了快一点改完作业的错误和同学出去玩， 我曾经对那些询问我问题的同学说：“对不起，我不知道。”或“我也不会”之类的话推辞掉。与夏洛在自己生命同样面临威胁的最后时刻还在设法救助小猪威尔伯 的这种精神境界比，真是天壤之别。帮助同学只不过是举手之劳，我都不愿付出，更谈不上让我为别人付出心血或生命了。这不仅让同学失望，让我也感到惭愧和自 己的渺小。

读了《夏洛的网》，我懂得了在生活中，人与人之间要互相帮助、互相关心才会给人类带来更多的爱，给世界带来和平和快乐!

When I was very small, I liked to read novels and watched all kinds of

detective cartoons. In my heart, I have a small dream. I want to be a writer. So

I have written some short stories, but I am very shy and never let others to see

it. I keep revising the stories and when I am ready, I want my best friend to be

my first reader.

一个男孩身世悲惨，六岁被生母所卖，五年后又因养父母生了弟弟而被抛弃。四处流浪，经常挨打使他变得冷酷无情。

到了少保中心，依然恶习难除，常用欺负同学的方式求得短暂快乐，发泄心中的怨恨。

男孩的自暴自弃让老师心痛，为了给予他更多的关爱，老师决定住在中心。但他却无视于老师的存心，反而更加怀念无拘无束的流浪生活。在决定逃离的当晚，落地时崴伤了脚。幸而被焦急寻找的老师及时发现，送往医院。

老师如母亲般彻夜不眠守护在病床旁，悉心的照料。男孩冰冷的心开始融化了，在打骂中成长的他，从未得到过一丝温暖。当老师为他泡脚、按摩时，终于忍不住扑进了老师的怀中，一遍遍地哭喊着「妈妈，妈妈……」

人间的至真至美莫过于这份爱，它可以温暖冷酷的心，唤回内心的良知，重新燃起本善的人性光辉。

自从我懂事起，我就看过各种各样的《西游记》，有的是动漫西游记，有的是电脑上连续西游记，有的是书上文字西游记······虽然他们风格不一，但主人公还是大名远扬的师徒四人——唐僧、孙悟空、猪八戒、沙和尚这几位人物，接下来让我为你介绍介绍他们。

长辈优先，先从唐僧开始，唐僧是个胆小如鼠、耳根子软的人，但他也是一位关心徒弟的好师傅。接下来说孙悟空吧！孙悟空一路上降妖除魔，可是一位了不起的大功臣。如“三打白骨精”、“大闹天宫”等神话故事，都是发生在孙悟空身上。

这四人中我最喜欢孙悟空，因为他神通广大，武艺超群，一路上保护唐僧取得真经，而且他身上有一种叛逆心理，敢于和强大势力做斗争的精神，我十分欣赏。然后是猪八戒，他不但缺点多多，还时不时挑拨唐僧念紧箍咒让孙悟空这位大英雄吃苦头，但关键有危险的时候他又从不退缩，也可以算上孙悟空一大“助手”。最后是沙和尚，他说话慢吞吞的，给人一种没有主见、老实感觉。四人性格不同，形成鲜明的对比

我强忍着没有把眼泪流出来，可在我抬头那一刻，我想到：西游记师徒四人也是经历了困难才取到真经，难道我要失败在这一场比赛中了么？不可能！就像名言所说：“不经历风雨，怎能见彩虹”。

Blowing balloons is an interesting game. You may have some ideas of it. It is of great value to your health, especially to those who are fat. People usually make an airless balloon halfairfilled, put it on the hand, then blow it hard. Shortly after it flies up, his partner blows it away towards the opposite party.

从小我就对童话书迷恋，在我生日那天，我得到了梦寐以求的《格林童话》，我立即坐在沙发上津津有味地读起来。其中一篇《可丽的故事》吸引了我，我深有感触。

文中的主人公是一个叫可丽的小女孩，她的妈妈得了严重的病，父亲早逝，还有一个年幼的妹妹。她得照顾这个家，我被她那种积极乐观的生活态度感动了，她每天起早摸黑地照顾这个家，虽然累，但她没有放弃。

但回过头来，看看我，每当碰到难题时候就心烦起来，不愿再去想，可丽遇到的困难比我大得多了，但她以乐观的积极心态去面对，可是我选择了逃避，我真应该向可丽学习，学习她坚强而不放弃的精神，积极向上的精神。

读完这个故事，我受益匪浅，我开始收集生活中的点滴经验，慢慢地开始变得乐观起来。

今天，我看了一本书，它的名字叫做《老人与海》，这本书是美国的海明威写的，这本书的主人公叫做桑提阿果爷爷，就让我给你们讲讲这个故事吧！

小说的素材来自于真正的故事：桑提阿果爷爷独自在海上打鱼，他已经有好久没钓到一条鱼了，有一天，一只大鱼咬住了他的鱼钩，桑提阿果爷爷想把它拉上来，可拉不动，那条鱼带着桑提阿果爷爷一直游啊游，大鱼游得精疲力尽了，桑提阿果爷爷把大鱼的鱼头和上半身绑在小船边上。但是桑提阿果爷爷在回去的路上遇到了鲨鱼，老人使出了浑身力气和鲨鱼搏斗，鲨鱼把能吃到的鱼肉都吃了，回到家时，大鱼只剩下不到一半，却还有800磅左右。

这本书让我受益匪浅。桑提阿果爷爷不被任何困难所压服，尽自己最大的努力与生活中的磨难做不屈不挠的斗争。他说：“一个人并不是生来就要给打败的，你尽可以消灭他，却不能打败他。”这种永不言败的硬骨头精神深深地刻在了我的心上，有也要像桑提阿果爷爷那样，永不言败。

我以前不懂英语，后来上了幼儿园大班后才知道英语里的hello。在一年级的暑假里，我背过了英语A、B、C等26个字母。二年级时，听说下一年要学英语，我着急了，因为我不知道怎么学英语，后来上了才知道，没有我想象得那么难，英语老师也不凶，还很逗，有时她刚做完的事，转身就忘了。

有人不好好听课时，老师就叽里咕噜，叽里咕噜的，全是英语。

有一次英语课上，一个英语学得不太好的同学，在书上画小人，那个小人画得很好玩，结果被老师发现了。老师叽里咕噜一串英语数落他，逗得我们笑，那个同学摸着脑袋，听不懂老师说啥。

英语课是有趣的，让我懂得了那些美丽的单词。

“噼——叭!”爆竹的声音震耳欲聋，今夜的天空是多么美丽：绿的、黄的、红的、紫的焰火在天空中飞舞着;远处不时泛出一道道红光……今天是除夕!可美的烟花与的搭配人欢笑声都没能使我从悲伤中摆脱出来。

因为在今天，我读了《卖火柴的小女孩》这篇童话。在大年三十的晚上，小女孩光着脚，披着一件破破烂烂的衣服街上卖火柴，最后又冷又饿的她冻死在了街头。

小女孩虽然有父亲，可她残酷冷漠的父亲却没有给她丝毫的温暖，让她大年夜到街上去卖火柴，卖不到钱还会打她。而我是家中的“小公主”，爸妈把我捧在手里怕飞了，含在嘴里怕化了：夏天热了给我买舒适的新背心，还让我躲在房子里吹着空调，吃着冰棍，看着电视;冬天太冷就给我穿漂亮又暖和的羽绒服，烤着火，还会带我去吃火锅。把我伺候得舒舒服服。

大年夜，卖火柴的小女孩只能孤苦伶仃地坐在冰冷的墙角，闻着富贵人家里飘出来的一阵阵烤鹅的香味;而我穿着一身的新衣服和家人团聚，吃着丰盛的年夜饭，还有五花八门的美味零食。

小女孩的童年充满了痛苦，而我们的童年却是五彩缤纷的，我们一定要珍惜今天的幸福生活，好好学习，天天向上啊!

这时，又一阵剧烈的爆竹把我的思绪打断了，我起身走向门外，瞧，“天女散花”!听到这欢呼声，我抬头望向天空，似乎看到了小女孩正灿烂地笑着。

在《卖火柴的小女孩》中，小女孩的奶奶曾经告诉她，每当一个人离开人世，天上都会落下一颗星星。

在繁密的星空中，曾有一颗星星的陨落，让我成长起来。

忘不了那个傍晚，客厅的灯一直开着，爸爸回家后又出去，出去后又回来，一直到深夜。早上起床后，没有妈妈充满爱意的叮咛和准时做好的煎鸡蛋，只有爸爸一句低沉的话语：“以后你就没有姥姥了……”

姥姥的葬礼那天，我清晰地记得凌晨四点多时，灵棚外传来的一声哀啼，划破了每一个人的心。我走出灵棚，和几个兄妹一起走到姥爷身边。姥爷蹲在地上，靠着冰凉的大石头，诉说着姥姥的好处。我泪如雨下，滴滴是对姥姥的怀念。

葬礼开始了，我跪在遗像前，泪水在脸上不停地滚落。送行的路上，乐队在前面缓缓走着，那一个个低沉而哀伤的音符不仅仅萦绕于耳畔，更飘进了我的心里。双腿机械地抬起、放下，脚像是踩在了云朵上——那连接人间与天堂的洁白使者。

一锹锹黄土在空中翻转，落在那红木上……我无力地瘫坐在地上。

人生只不过是睁眼和闭眼的工夫罢了，那天，我才真正认识到了生命的可贵。

所以，今后我不会再对自己说：“没事，我还小呢！我的路还长呢！”也不会再无视父母的关心，对他们说：“别操心了，我死不了！”从现在开始我会珍惜身边的一切，去热爱生命，去敬畏生命。

我成长，在那雨中的麦地里……

In 1872, Phileas Fogg, an English gentleman, bets 20,000 pounds that he can travel around the world in 80 days. Remember, there were no airplanes or other types of high speed travel.

Fogg and his servant, Passepourtout, leave from London, England and travel acrofour continents on their trip. In India, they meet a beautiful princeand save her life. She joins them on the journey and falls in love with Phileas Fogg.

They are followed around the world by Detective Fix, who has mistaken Fogg for a bank robber. He causes the group lots of trouble and delays, and finally arrests Fogg on the last day of the journey.

The trip was also delayed by storms at sea, unfinished railroad tracks, and an Indian attack in the American West.

Do you think Phileas Fogg and his friends made it around the world in 80 days?

With all of the delays, the group thought they arrived back at London five minutes too late. However, the next day they discovered they were one day ahead of schedule. This was because they had travelled all the way around the world in an eastward direction, ma-ki-ng them gain an extra day as they travelled acrodifferent time zones.

这本书是由八十八个故事组成的，每个故事都包含着一个哲理，让我们感动，给我们启迪。其中我最喜欢的一篇是《每天给自己一个希望》这篇文章，写的是有一位医生，素以医术高明享誉医学界。但不幸的是，在某一天，他被诊断出患有癌症，这对他不外乎是当头一棒。他曾经一度情绪低落，但后来他坦然接受事实，就这样他平安的度过了几个年头，而且心态也变得宽容，平静。有人问他，他为什么能活这么久，他说，是希望，几乎每天早晨，他都给自己一个希望，希望能多救治一个病人。这位医生不但医术高明而且做人的境界也很高。是啊，每天给自己一个希望，哪怕这个希望小得不能再小，每天给自己一个希望，我们将获得生气勃勃，激情澎湃。每天给自己一个希望，就是给自己目标和信心。希望是黑暗中的一片绿洲，让人重燃信念，信心十足，重获光明！
