granny liu, a distant kinsfolk, in a dream of the red mansions , claims kinship with the wealthy jia family, thinking that she may benefit from it in some ways. liu might have run away without any traces if the jia family had been a poor one. another saying goes “close neighbors are better than distant relatives.” the most difficult is to manage the relatives when doing business together, just as what the tv series program liu laogen discloses. it is all right to stay poor together, but as soon as the business grows prosperous, the group will become estranged and even dissolve because of the unfair distribution. family love is like a maze which we shouldn't go too far into it, otherwise, we'll surely get lost. love is a bilateral matter and unilateral love can only lead you to nowhere in spite of your good intentions. family love is, sometimes, like an arranged marriage, leaving no choices to you. due to the different experiences and tastes, staying together temporarily can be entertaining, while living together for a long time can only be boring due to the lack of common interest and understanding. how can we communicate with each other without understanding? parents have the duty to support the children who are not yet economically independent, and children have the responsibility to provide for the elderly parents who are lack of economic abilities to support themselves. except these two kinds of duties which we must fulfill, other kinds of love become conventional formalities such as paying visit to the sick or the dead and giving presents to the newly-born etc.
no love among relatives has become a normal phenomenon which needn't to be fussed about. what's worse is when love is contaminated by money. sooner or later we will get hurt. the sooner we get out of this net of love, the more we can preserve beautiful memories.
The Lantern Festival falls on the 15th day of the 1st lunar month, usually in February or March in the Gregorian calendar. As early as the Western Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 25), it had become a festival with great significance.
This day's important activity is watching lanterns. Throughout the Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 220), Buddhism flourished in China. One emperor heard that Buddhist monks would watch sarira, or remains from the cremation of Buddha's body, and light lanterns to worship Buddha on the 15th day of the 1st lunar month, so he ordered to light lanterns in the imperial palace and temples to show respect to Buddha on this day. Later, the Buddhist rite developed into a grand festival among common people and its influence expanded from the Central Plains to the whole of China.
Till today, the lantern festival is still held each year around the country. Lanterns of various shapes and sizes are hung in the streets, attracting countless visitors. Children will hold self-made or bought lanterns to stroll with on the streets, extremely excited. "Guessing lantern riddles"is an essential part of the Festival.
Lantern owners write riddles on a piece of paper and post them on the lanterns. If visitors have solutions to the riddles, they can pull the paper out and go to the lantern owners to check their answer. If they are right, they will get a little gift. The activity emerged during people's enjoyment of lanterns in the Song Dynasty (960-1279). As riddle guessing is interesting and full of wisdom, it has become popular among all social strata.
People will eat yuanxiao, or rice dumplings, on this day, so it is also called the "Yuanxiao Festival."Yuanxiao also has another name, tangyuan. It is small dumpling balls made of glutinous rice flour with rose petals, sesame, bean paste, jujube paste, walnut meat, dried fruit, sugar and edible oil as filling. Tangyuan can be boiled, fried or steamed. It tastes sweet and delicious. What’s more, tangyuan in Chinese has a similar pronunciation with "tuanyuan”, meaning reunion. So people eat them to denote union, harmony and happiness for the family.
In the daytime of the Festival, performances such as a dragon lantern dance, a lion dance, a land boat dance, a yangge dance, walking on stilts and beating drums while dancing will be staged. On the night, except for magnificent lanterns, fireworks form a beautiful scene. Most families spare some fireworks from the Spring Festival and let them off in the Lantern Festival. Some local governments will even organize a fireworks party. On the night when the first full moon enters the New Year, people become really intoxicated by the imposing fireworks and bright moon in the sky.
this is a glass of water, tasteless, right? however if you add sugar, it will taste sweet, but if you add vinegar, it will become bitter. the same is true with our life____ the flavor is created by our choices.
if kindness is added to a strange you will have a friend; but if hostility is added, you will have an enemy. if love is added to a pile of red bricks you will have a home, but if hatred is add to those bricks , you will have an concentration camp.
so my dear friends, never complain that life is boring and the world is disappointing. if don’t like the taste of your life, change the ingredients.
three year ago, i weighed more than 100 hundred kilograms which caused significant embarrassment and frustration in my life. like always failing my p.e examinations, like always being laughed at by girls, like being terrified to speak in public. it was my grandmother’s encouragement that revived from my passive attitude to become confident in myself. she said “ my dear, if you can’t change you figure, why not treat it as your own style. so i began to cautiously employ the new way of thinking. by choosing to change my outlook on life, i developed the confidence to make a difference and finally i found a totally new world.
so my dear friend, if faith, hope, love, endurance are added to your life, you will find the confidence to conquer your limitation and embrace new challenges. and hopefully with my speech included, you will have a fantastic speech contest.
My dear fellow students,The Olympics are just around the corner. Today I want to talk about good manners and courtesy.
We Chinese have always been respected and highly praised for good manners and courtesy, which have, as well, become precious traditions of our people. In a couple of weeks beyond, a large number of foreign friends will come to China to join us in enjoying the Olympics. Before foreign guests, we should have an easy manner and behave politely and warm-heartedly. In public places, such ugly behaviors as uproar, pushing or squeezing together, spitting and so on should be determinedly forbidden. In a sense, each of us will not simply stand for ourselves but stand for China. Therefore, boys and girls, let’s do it well right now and the eyes of the world are to on us!
我亲爱的同学,奥运会是指日可待。今天我要讲礼貌和礼貌。
我们中国人一直尊重和高度赞扬了礼貌和礼貌,,,,成为我们的人民的宝贵传统。在几周内,大量的外国朋友来中国和我们一起享受奥运会。外国客人之前,我们应该有一个简单的方式和行为礼貌和点到点。在公共场所,骚动等丑陋的行为,推动或挤压在一起,应该坚决禁止随地吐痰等等。从某种意义上说,我们每个人将不仅代表自己但代表中国。因此,男孩和女孩,让我们现在做得很好,全世界的目光都在我们身上!
however, fraternal love is not stable. being away for too a long time, losing all common benefits, friends will become estranged. once their interest has changed, they no longer understand each other, and even this would harm friendship. at all times and in all countries, many close friends and battle companions who once worked together and fought together became enemies in the end. quiet a few of the emperors in ancient china even killed those who had helped them found their dynasties. the taiping heavenly kingdom would not have failed if it hadn't been for the contending and massacring among the those who first rose in rebellion at the beginning of the uprising. what else we need to pay attention to is that some friends, after being away from each other for too long a time, have lost so much of their original characters that when meeting again, you will feel that you are still the same as you were, while they are no longer themselves. they may have the same feeling about you, so sometimes it's better not to meet each other again. as the chinese proverb goes “friendship can not last for three years and flowers can not stay in blossom for three months”.it's not so easy to maintain real friendship which needs mutual understanding, tolerance and sacrifice. any kinds of harsh treatment will damage friendship.
amatory love has been a mystery for ages. there's neither a criterion to judge nor a common rule to follow. nobody can tell the exact reasons why love emerges. it is not always because of beauty (the ugly doorkeeper quasimodo in the hunchback of notre dame is loved by the beautiful gypsy girl esmeralda),nor kindness (hitler also has his mistress),nor wisdom ( even the blockhead may sometimes marry a beautiful girl),nor strength (some love starts from sympathy).true love is like getting an electric shock, shaking our soul. it is a sweet dream, a kind of intoxication, indulgence, and endless passion.
true love doesn't need a long time to grow up, to make clear the family tree of the other, neither does it needs the time to look ahead and behind again and again. love is not marriage, which usually starts from love, but doesn't always depend on love to maintain. long-lasting marriage can eventually turn into a kind of family love, a kind of companionship which preserves the companion but loses the passion. love is often an wink of the eye, or a smile that hints mutual understanding. in spite of the great distance between them, people may fall in love incidentally. hence the saying “a distant marriage is tied up with a mysterious thread”. love needs passion, and it can stand bumps and stumbles, ups and downs, complaints and blames. when it turns into a pool of water, especially dead water, without any billows or waves, it's time for it to die.
How to be a civilized citizenCivilization is a ship that can sail the ocean carrying you to find the sun every morning; Civilization is a bridge that allows people all over the world create a better home; civilization, it is five thousand years the Chinese nation's traditional virtue . Therefore, we must do in many ways: do not spit, throw scraps of paper, do not take pieces of chalk to play, up and down stairs all right line, see the teacher and take the initiative to greet guests to use Mandarin.
Love flowers, trees and all facilities, not through the green belt. Clean health care. Only do this, or even more, they will not disappoint in school education, live in the community culture, and live in the ancient nation "ceremonies" reputation. I believe that only we walk hand in hand, our collective respect and in a civilized, is not difficult. So now, from ourselves and from side to start, let us to the "civilized" the end of the move!
My friend Gail and get along with "cancer" for four years, the illness is getting worse. There is a chat with a friend, Gail mentioned that he had a childhood dream is to have a red kuaizui radio car, but when she was a child, never received such a gift for she always believed, as long as your birthday wish, will not come true. One day, I saw a small red kuaizui radio car at an ice cream stand in the window, as long as you in the weekly lottery draw, the car will become you, after each transaction to fill out a raffle you can participate in the lottery, but I eat sweet canister several weeks later, but still Not to be able to win a car, I have to work up the courage to ask people who see booth, is not that I can use the money to buy one, so I went to the window, ice cream stand what sequence of events, but found his throat choked, tears could not live in the eyes, but I'm still trying to finish the self reason want to buy this car, to sign a check, I took the car, the car received a lid, a childhood dream came true, but the next day, I have received such a letter:
Dear Bonnie
In life there is always a chance that can let you unconditionally pay some goodwill, my parents within six months have died because of cancer, not to those who care about my friends to pay the generosity and love, love my parents is not likely to survive this period.
Wish you all the best!
opportunities and challenges
first， i would like to know， what does your destiny offer you？ happiness， wisdom， a strong body or something else。 if i had asked this question to president nixon， he would probably had said，”our destiny offers not the cup of despair， but the chalice of opportunity。”
needless to say， one of the biggest opportunities given to china is the 20__ olympic games。 till now， we have used two sevenths of the preparation time。 how much changes have you seen？ new roads， new subway lines， public—exercising equipments with beautiful colors， large blocks of grass fields， and also lots of modern gyms which are under construction。
other than those， there are even more good effects brought to us by the olympic games that cannot be seen directly。 for example， more and more people will get to know china。 i’m sure the mysterious chinese culture will attract them strongly。 and the games will also do good to the economy and environment， for it is gaining the attention of foreign investors and the awareness of environmental protection is being strengthened。 what is more， olympic games give a unique opportunity to inspire and educate a new generation of chinese youth with the olympic values and the olympic spirit。 now that we have seen so many advances， could you even imagine us losing the holding rights？
i’ve already said a lot about the olympics and china。 but i think everyone should use some time to think of this question， ”does the olympic games have any special meaning to you？”
for us， i mean the chinese youth， 20__ olympic games is a tremendous gift。 because what we are waiting for is to do something significant as repaying the love given to us 。the society is just like a ship， and in our dreams the captain is waving his hand and saying ”hey！ come here and take the helm！ ”how charming his voice is， but we have never heard of it in our true life。 this morning， however， when we wake up， we will see the olympic games waving its hand。 after chewing， most of us will have at least one plan about what to do for the olympic games。 and mine is to be a “comforter” ————that is someone who will give comfort to others。
at the end of my speech， i hope all the preparation will go well， and everyone will show their ability to the world。 let us seize opportunities and give a big smile to challenges。
Last Sunday, I went sightseeing with my friends in the Fairy Lake Park. The water is clean and clear and we can even see fishes swimming freely in it. Beside the lake there was a sign which read “Don’t throw water into the lake!” However, a couple ignored it completely, throwing waste into the lake, while saying loudly “How beautiful the scenery is!”
Seeing this, I was sad and angry. How should they do things like that? Now, some people don’t mind their own behavior in public places. They speak loudly regardless of others’ feelings surrounding them and even pollute the environment at random.
To make our society more harmonious, I appeal to the whole society to mind our own behavior in public places and small good things in our daily life which surely make a big difference to our world.
Even a thousand words, but also less impressive than the impression of a fact
Show the circus elephant, are small start training. When the baby is very naughty, fun and big, so with a rope tied to the stake because the elephant, elephant boy, after numerous trials are unable to stake out, after a long time, as long as the elephant in the the stake, like knowing that they can't break free, it is made of.
Elephant grew up to become an elephant, the circus can do a lot of performances. The elephant is infinite, you can move a lot of things, but after the show, but very law-abiding was tied to the stake
The strength of the elephant is actually very large, but it is because of the experience of young people, that the strength of the pile is bigger than their own, is the only thing that can hold their own, so that it did not dare to move the pile
Life sentiment:
In fact, the elephant is bound by their previous ideas, do not understand their own has been a great change, and therefore give up the idea of moving the stake
The stakes are like obstacles that hinder the individual's ability to play the light; it may not be the visible resistance, but the nameless fear produced by the individual's past experiences
spring festival spring festival is the chinese new year day. i enjoy it very much. on the chinese new year day, some of our relatives come to visit us. they often give me some lucky money. then i would play with their children. we often play firecrakers together, which is quite interesting. at night the whole family would sit together, talking and watching tv programmes. sometimes we take pictures of the whole family members in the house. i often go to bed late during the holiday, but i dont feel fired at all. i think the spring festival is the most enjoyable day for every family in china.
Japan has a fairy tale
Two children have to go to the beach to play, play tired, two people lying on the beach asleep. One child had a dream, dream across the island lived a millionaire, a piece of the Camellia in rich garden, in a white camellia root. Buried in a jar of gold.
The child told the dream to another child. After that, he could not help but sigh: it is a pity that it is only a dream!
Another child listened to a very moving, and then buried in the hearts of the seeds of the dream, said, you can sell this dream to me!
After the child bought a dream, he went to the island, hard to reach the island, and found that the island lived a rich man, so he volunteered to become a millionaire servant
He found in the garden, really have a lot of tea, Camellia years, he every year to put the heavy camellias over and over again dug soil. In this way, the number of tea growing better, rich also to he better. Finally one day, he by the white camellia the foundation of digging down, really dug up a jar of gold.
The man who bought the dream returned to the countryside and became the richest man; the man who sold his dream, though he kept dreaming, never dreamed of it
Life sentiment: Although the dream is far away, but as long as we insist on, there will be a day to achieve. Because of the great dream, no dream of life, but also the most boring life!
hanksgiving, although it is an act of the verb, but it is not the only action required and, more importantly, needs to be done in good faith. easy to say that thanksgiving is gratitude, heartfelt gratitude. you know that every year in november the fourth thursday, what holiday are you? the united states are of thanksgiving. at that time each year, americans should thank god. of our high school students, we would also like to thank "god", but given our lives this is the "god" - our parents.
i like most people, from small to large the most loved themselves, most worthy of the appreciation of their natural parents is that they both in material or spiritual growth i have played a crucial role, naturally, for their such as days of my high thinking deep sea conditions are taken for granted.
i have a first-hand experience with their parents that they do not talk back, making them less angry with their parents to talk about many hearts, with their "resource sharing", the parent every day, so my "thanksgiving plan" is: let them less angry and more happy, happy at all times. do not say, the results are really marvelous!
previously, the sum of my parents for some bring frivolous unhappy much, and i always strongly insist their position, they have a tense atmosphere will be like a boil water "boiling" up, eventually causing a break up in discord. later, after careful thought, i know that are wrong and should not be as to calm, patience and a lot of parents only. so parents do not want to see me unhappy they prepare to try to implement a set of "thanksgiving program", making their parents at any time to face all broad smiles on their faces, but also repay some of my feelings of parents.
say . one night, sitting in my chair on the idea of the topic, his hands up first. happened to see a mother, she has misunderstood me, saying that does not concentrate on my homework, the. although i feel wronged, but in order to avoid a " war" in order to allow mother not angry, in order to "thanksgiving plans," the success of my "bear", did not explain, and said: "in the future, no longer can." this also because i know that mother's personality: forever for their own opinion "defense." i did not expect that, at this moment, my mind has not the past "quarrel" at the time of the burden, but also very happy and feel the feelings of gratitude are revealing. i did not expect to make is this: not long after, but mother "from warrington" - mimi's a laugh.
how kind, the scheme you good results!
in short, let the parents are pleased the method is a kind of thanksgiving. "a good start is half the success," i believe after thanksgiving again or there will be "harvest" of.
thanksgiving is a way, thanksgiving is a realm. only institute of thanksgiving, to get other people's respect and love.
as the song goes “ my future isn’t a dream .” i love the song which brings me confidence when singing it every time . i believe that all our dreams can come true if we have courage to pursue them .when i was young my father always asked me what i would be in the future . sometimes i found it very hard to give a certain reply . “ i want to be a doctor .” “ i want to be a teacher .” and “ i ’d like to be a scientist !” many of these answers are perhaps very childish and ridiculous . but i never think they are far away .
how time flies! who is able to give a definition to his future ? i know clearly that those high buildings are based on solid foundation . as a student , i should have a reasonable aim , and study hard . my goal is to enter the best university for further study after middle school . i know it’s hard work , and i ’ll come across many difficulties and frustrations . but no matter what they are , i’ll keep working on it and never give up . my teacher says there ’s only one kind of people that are truly successful : those who are brave enough to put up with hardships . even if i won’t achieve the goal , i have no regrets for what i have done , for i have struggled for my life .
a long time ago, there was a huge apple tree. a little boy loved to come and lay around it every day. he climbed to the tree top, ate the apples, took a nap under the shadow… he loved the tree and the tree loved to play with him.
time went by… the little boy had grown up and he no longer played around the tree every day. one day, the boy came back to the tree and he looked sad. “come and play with me,” the tree asked the boy. “i am no longer a kid, i don't play around trees anymore.” the boy replied, “i want toys. i need money to buy them.” “sorry, but i don't have money…but you can pick all my apples and sell them. so, you will have money.” the boy was so excited. he grabbed all the apples on the tree and left happily. the boy never came back after he picked the apples. the tree was sad.
one day, the boy returned and the tree was so excited. “come and play with me,” the tree said. “i don't have time to play. i have to work for my family. we need a house for shelter. can you help me?” “sorry, but i don't have a house. but you can chop off my branches to build your house.” so the boy cut all the branches off the tree and left happily. the tree was glad to see him happy but the boy never came back since then. the tree was again lonely and sad.
one hot summer day, the boy returned and the tree was delighted. “come and play with me!” the tree said. “i am sad and getting old. i want to go sailing to relax myself. can you give me a boat?” “use my trunk to build your boat. you can sail far away and be happy.” so the boy cut the tree trunk to make a boat. he went sailing and never showed up for a long time. the tree was happy, but it was not true.
finally, the boy returned after he left for so many years. “sorry, my boy. but i don't have anything for you anymore. no more apples for you…” the tree said.
“i don't have teeth to bite,” the boy replied.
“no more trunk for you to climb on.”
“i am too old for that now,” the boy said.
“i really can't give you anything… the only thing left is my dying roots,” the tree said with tears.
“i don't need much now, just a place to rest. i am tired after all these years.” the boy replied.
To witness immoral behavior in public, one need only visit the Beijing subway. I still remember the first time I took the Beijing subway. It was an early morning. I was in a hurry to go to school. When I was trying to get a ticket, I found a lot of people waiting in front of me, but nobody was in the line.
Immoral behaviors in public exert a series of problems. One of the most serious ones is that it may exert a negative impact on our sense of social responsibility. We will keep ignoring other people’s rights and feelings, and in turn, we too will be disrespected some day.
The improvement of this phenomenon is certainly not easy. With an eye on practical implementation and cost effectiveness, I propose that society make it clear in every way that people who fail to respect the common good will be seriously punished. Stricter policies for this should be made to correct this phenomenon as soon as possible.
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.
I'm wuhaitao from the Development of Information Engineering. It's my honor to be here today to give you this speech. My topic is "protecting the environment". Looking around us,we can see that polluction is posing a threat to our earth, which comes in many ways. Millions of the chimneys of the factories are pouring heavy smoke into air,which causes serious air polution.
A large amount of waste water from factories pollutes water ,making the rivers fishless and our water unfit to drink and swim in. Further more,a lot of trees have been cut down without proper plans.,which continues to the soil being washed away. It seems that we really have no clean place to live in.
The pollution is so serious that we have to find effective solutions to it. As far as I'm concerned , the goverment should pass laws to reduce poiiuted air. Some measures should be taken to purify the water bsfore it is poured into the rivers or seas. We should plant more trees to keep the soil in place. What's more, people should be further educated to realize the importance of the environment pritection. Thus we will have clean and tidy environment.
Only in this way can we solve these problems.
good morning(afternoon), dear teachers and fellow students. it’s my great honor to stand here and share with you a happy morning(afternoon). i am no__. my topic is “keep your goal in mind” .i hope you will enjoy it.
do you have a goal for your work? do you have a goal for your study? do you have a goal for your life? maybe i will get an affirmative reply. yeah, everyone has a goal of doing something. there is no doubt that a goal is very important in our life. now i want to tell you a true story in my school life. i have learned a lot from it.
i never forget last year’s school sports meeting. 1500-meter race was one of the most exciting. before the race, my best friend xiaoshan had a goal to be no. 1. as a matter a fact, she is not so strong, but she is a sunny girl. she is active and likes doing sports. what’s more, she tries her best to achieve the goal, but i wonder if she is able to be the champion. there were eight players in the race. on the first lap, she was in the sixth place; on the second lap, the took the fourth place, she went on running and she ran toward her goal, the goal in her mind, look! on the last lap, she was the first to pass the finishing line, she was the winner. oh, great! she made it! congratulations!
at that time, i knew a goal was so necessary and important. i made a decision : “i want to take part in the english speaking competition held in my school. what’s more, i will try my best to be no.1 in the competition as my best friend xiaoshan did in sports meet. ” i am sure of it. i still remembered what my english teacher said to us. he said :“if anyone took the first place in our school english speaking competition, he or she will be chose to take the competition held in jinjiang. it’s a great honor!”
though i can do well in my english written exams, however, to be honest, i am a little afraid to speak english in public. my english teacher often encourages me: “raoning, your voice sounds so beautiful, be brave, you will succeed.” from then on, i kept a goal in mind. i said to myself aloud: stick to your goal and you will win. and then i try my best to improve my oral english and dare to speak either in class or after class. at last, i took part in the competition and became no. 1. i am chose to take part in the next year’s english speaking competition held in jinjiang. i said to myself aloud again: come on! you will win.
how time flies! today i am a lucky dog. i am very honored to give you a speech. i hope everyone has a dream! in fact, we should work hard to make our dream come true. otherwise it will become day dream. at the same time, i hope everyone has a goal in mind, because the goal is the first step to success. come on, my friends, goal, goal, goal, success, success, success!
that’s all. thank you for your attention.
There will be a speech on our school playground this Saturday afternoon, whose theme is “To civilize schoolyard is my responsibility”。 All the teachers and students are required to attend. In the activity, the first two winners in each grade will give such valuable advice as follows: we should not litter anywhere in order to keep our campus clean; we should love flowers, grass and trees so that everyone can enjoy the greenness; we should behave well instead of running after one another, quarreling and fighting noisily; we should care for others so that our school will be full of love. We believe our school will become more and more beautiful and peaceful.
一个星期六下午，在我们学校操场上有个演讲，其主题是“文明的校园是我的责任”。所有的老师和学生都必须参加。在活动中，每个年级的第一个获奖者将给予宝贵的意见如下：我们不应该乱扔垃圾，保持校园清洁;我们应该爱花，草和树让每个人都能享受到绿色;我们应该表现好而不是追逐，争吵，打闹;我们应该关心别人，我们的学校将会充满爱。我们相信我们的学校也会变得更加美丽和宁静。
It is all very well to blame traffic jams,the cost of petrol and the quick pace of modern life,butmannerson the roads are becoming horrible.Everybody knows that the nicest men becomemonsters behind the wheel.Itis all very well,again,to have a tiger in the tank,but to have one inthe driver's seat is another matter altogether.You might tolerate the odd road-hog(莽撞驾车者)，the rude and inconsiderate driver,but nowadays the well-mannered motorist is theexception to the rule.Perhaps the situation calls for a "Be Kind to OtherDrivers"campaign,otherwise it may get completely out of hand.
Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense too.It takes the most cool-headedand good-tempered of drivers to resist the temptation to revenge when subjected touncivilized behavior.On the other hand,a little politeness goes a long way towards relieving thetensions of motoring.A friendly nod or a wave of acknowledgement in response to an act ofpoliteness when they see it.
However,misplaced politeness can also be dangerous.Typical examples are the driver whobrakes violently toallow a car to emerge from a side street at some hazard to followingtraffic,when a few seconds later the road would be clear anyway;or the man who waves a childacross a zebra crossing into the path of oncoming vehicles that may be unable to stop intime.The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever theycare to.It always amazes me that the highways are not covered with the dead bodiesof thesegrannies.
A veteran driver,whose manners are faultless,told me it would help if motorists learnt to filtercorrectlyinto traffic streams one at a time without causing the total blockages that give rise tobad temper.Unfortunately,modern motorists can't even learn to drive,let alone master thesubtler aspects of roadsmanship.Years age the experts warned us that the car-ownershipexplosion would demand a lot more give-and-take from all road users.It is high fime for all ofus to take this message to heart.
Everyone to contribute for the expo, we are no exception, as a living piece of fertile land in pudong's teachers, we are proud and pride. in the vision of a better tomorrow, we have to do for the world expo will own a wonderful ability, we have through our hands, warm heart and sincerity to practical action to achieve the commitment of shanghai to the world. we should educate the many students: do not throw garbage anywhere, no spitting, no jaywalking … …， hello, thank you frequently mention, let the material on this city with the new york comparable to the spiritual civilization. educate our students to exciting 20xx, willing to shanghai's future by copies of power, if only planted a small tree, participants in the shanghai world expo foreign guests feel: this is a forest city, pollution-free city, ancient and civilized city. better city, better life! until the time of the 20xx expo, then, we want to become a glorious volunteers, to changing our foreign friends in shanghai and china's long history, about our education for the world expo will contribute their efforts.

As I sat there in English class, I stared at the girl next to me. She was my so called "best friend". I stared at her long, silky hair, and wished she was mine. But she didn't notice me like that, and I knew it. After class, she walked up to me and asked me for the notes she had missed the day before and handed them to her. She said "thanks" and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I wanted to tell her, I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love her but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why.
11th grade
The phone rang. On the other end, it was her. She was in tears, mumbling on and on about how her love had broke her heart. She asked me to come over because she didn't want to be alone, so I did. As I sat next to her on the sofa, I stared at her soft eyes, wishing she was mine. After 2 hours, one Drew Barrymore movie, and three bags of chips, she decided to go to sleep. She looked at me, said "thanks" and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I want to tell her, I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love her but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why.
Senior year
The day before prom she walked to my locker. My date is sick" she said; he's not going to go well, I didn't have a date, and in 7th grade, we made a promise that if neither of us had dates, we would go together just as "best friends". So we did. Prom night, after everything was over, I was standing at her front door step. I stared at her as she smiled at me and stared at me with her crystal eyes. I want her to be mine, but she isn't think of me like that, and I know it. Then she said "I had the best time, thanks!" and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I want to tell her, I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love her but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why.
Graduation Day
A day passed, then a week, then a month. Before I could blink, it was graduation day. I watched as her perfect body floated like an angel up on stage to get her diploma. I wanted her to be mine, but she didn't notice me like that, and I knew it. Before everyone went home, she came to me in her smock and hat, and cried as I hugged her. Then she lifted her head from my shoulder and said, "you're my best friend, thanks" and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I want to tell her, I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love her but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why.
A Few Years Later
Now I sit in the pews of the church. That girl is getting married now. I watched her say "I do" and drive off to her new life, married to another man. I wanted her to be mine, but she didn't see me like that, and I knew it. But before she drove away, she came to me and said "you came!". She said "thanks" and kissed me on the cheek. I want to tell her, I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love her but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why.
Funeral
Years passed, I looked down at the coffin of a girl who used to be my "best friend". At the service, they read a diary entry she had wrote in her high school years. This is what it read: I stare at him wishing he was mine, but he doesn't notice me like that, and I know it. I want to tell him, I want him to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love him but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why. I wish he would tell me he loved me! `I wish I did too...` I thought to my self, and I cried.
Dear Editor,
Recently graffiti has become more noticeable in my college. I feel quite annoyed at them, especially when some of my classmates praise them as a kind of so-called art. Confronted with this impolite phenomenon, I can’t help asking myself: what is wrong with today’s teenagers?
In my opinion, graffiti is a form of vandalism. They are a mess and are ugly to look at. Meanwhile, walls are public places, and they should not be used to express personal views and feelings。
I really think vandalism should be stopped, and those who refuse to stop this bad practice should be punished. We should clear away these ugly expressions and drawings so that our college may return to its true self--a clean, quiet place for study, teaching and research。
At present, with the improvement of people's living standard, more and more people go out to travel. However, while tourists enjoy the beautiful scenery, they also destroy it. There are many uncivilized behaviors, such as spitting, littering, and scribbling on walls and so on.
Whether these behaviors are intentional or not, they have had a harmful influence on our cities, even on our country. For one thing, visitors would not be willing to come to the spot again owing to others' uncivil deeds, which is a strike to the development of the local tourism. For another, some uncivil phenomena directly lead to the damage to scenic spots that are of great value.
To sum up, uncivilized behaviors have influenced a lot on the images of our cities and our country. Therefore， we need to take some actions to stop those uncivilized behaviors. The cities where we are living are our homes so that everybody should shoulder the responsibility to be civilized.
Hello, my dear friends, it is my great honor to be here and give a speech. Today I want to talk about the importance of finding *me time
May I begin my speech by asking you a question? Do you often feel tired, stressed or worried? If you do have these problems, you are lack of me-time to relax yourself. Psychologist tell us that stress is caused by too much work or study , heavy responsibilities , and quickened pace of life . In my point of view, if you want to have a healthy mind and body, having your own me-time is very important
Let me take myself as an example. I was a carefree and outgoing girl before I entered the junior high school. I had much me-time and did anything I like after class. I kept a lovely pet and whenever I have time I played with her happily. However, the situation is quite different now. When I want to turn on the TV、surf on the internet or go out shopping with my friends, my parents always look at me seriously and say “ Don’t forget to spend more time on your lessons. If you don’t cherish every minute of your time, other students will catch up with you.”
So, every day, every moment, I am overwhelmed by all kinds of assignments. I become more and more silent and can’t sleep well before the exams because I’m dressed and worried about my results. I feel so tired and how I want to have me time to relax myself. I long for a period of time that I could walk in a small path in the countryside, sing my favourite song and smell the essence of nature
My dear friends, having your own me-time is important. I firmly believe that achievements depend on our health. If we want to have a more harmonious state to work better, we should find more *me time* and keep off the overwhelm stresses. Talks, jokes, games, fresh air or beautiful scenes will be helpful for you. Trust me, you’ll be more refreshable and energetic.
Thank you for your attention.
we are not living in vacuum, and the society is formed of various kinds of people. as long as we want to live, study, or work, we have to contact, communicate and cooperate with others. those who enjoy common interests, mutual understanding, common undertakings and common benefits become friends.
some friends are called fair-weather friends, because they are together just for entertaining themselves by eating, drinking, and gossiping. once there's nothing to eat and drink, their friendship is finished. some are spiritual friends who share common ambitions, pursuits and education. “they enjoy talking and laughing with the great talents and never make friends with the good-for-nothings”. the best examples would be yu boya and zhong ziqi of the ancient times who are famous not only for their lofty music but mainly for their lofty characters and mutual understanding and appreciation. they cared very little about material wealth, so their friendship is known as “gentlemen's friendship as pure as water”.the third type of friendship belong to those who show their utter devotion to each other. they are ready not only to share weal and woe but also to die for each other, like the three brothers liu, guan and zhang in the novel romance of the three kingdoms. . we all wish to have this kind of friendship, but it's of great difficulty for the ordinary people to be as devoted as they were.
fraternal love or friendship is wide-ranged and flexible. generally speaking, everyone is our friend, just as chairman mao says “our friends are all over the world”。 but transcend age, sex, nationality, state and economic conditions. to them the most important is common benefit, common interest and understanding. friendship is formed during the course of studying, working and fighting. the battle companions who have survived many hazards usually enjoy long-lasting friendship.

As I sat there in English class, I stared at the girl next to me. She was my so called "best friend". I stared at her long, silky hair, and wished she was mine. But she didn't notice me like that, and I knew it. After class, she walked up to me and asked me for the notes she had missed the day before and handed them to her. She said "thanks" and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I wanted to tell her, I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love her but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why.
11th grade
The phone rang. On the other end, it was her. She was in tears, mumbling on and on about how her love had broke her heart. She asked me to come over because she didn't want to be alone, so I did. As I sat next to her on the sofa, I stared at her soft eyes, wishing she was mine. After 2 hours, one Drew Barrymore movie, and three bags of chips, she decided to go to sleep. She looked at me, said "thanks" and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I want to tell her, I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love her but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why.

Second, we shall speak politely. We shall respect the others. Third, behave well. We should be kind to others, warm-hearted to everyone, and generous to our friends.That's some tips for you to be a polite middle-school-student.
作为一名文明中学生,我们得做很多事情。首先,我们不能到处乱丢垃圾。我们必须把它们丢在垃圾箱里。乱丢垃圾不是一种好习惯。其次,我们讲话要彬彬有礼。我们应当尊重别人。第三,行为端正。我们应该善待他人,善待每一个人,对我们的朋友要慷慨大方。这就是我的几条关于做文明礼貌中学生的建议。
Granny liu, a distant kinsfolk, in a dream of the red mansions , claims kinship with the wealthy jia family, thinking that she may benefit from it in some ways. liu might have run away without any traces if the jia family had been a poor one. another saying goes “close neighbors are better than distant relatives.” the most difficult is to manage the relatives when doing business together, just as what the tv series program liu laogen discloses. it is all right to stay poor together, but as soon as the business grows prosperous, the group will become estranged and even dissolve because of the unfair distribution. family love is like a maze which we shouldn't go too far into it, otherwise, we'll surely get lost. love is a bilateral matter and unilateral love can only lead you to nowhere in spite of your good intentions. family love is, sometimes, like an arranged marriage, leaving no choices to you. due to the different experiences and tastes, staying together temporarily can be entertaining, while living together for a long time can only be boring due to the lack of common interest and understanding. how can we communicate with each other without understanding? parents have the duty to support the children who are not yet economically independent, and children have the responsibility to provide for the elderly parents who are lack of economic abilities to support themselves. except these two kinds of duties which we must fulfill, other kinds of love become conventional formalities such as paying visit to the sick or the dead and giving presents to the newly-born etc.
No love among relatives has become a normal phenomenon which needn't to be fussed about. what's worse is when love is contaminated by money. sooner or later we will get hurt. the sooner we get out of this net of love, the more we can preserve beautiful memories.
