will be dead. She is very old. We have kept her for ten years. Now herhairs are falling. And she always lies on the ground. She can’t see veryclearly. She eats a little. She becomes thin. She was very strong before. She isstill guarding my family. She is one of my family member. Now we are all uneasybecause she will die. I think you may know my thinking. Even if it is a dog, youcan’t forget it. So these days, we feet her the best food.
The night before the examination
The clock struck eleven at night. The whole house was quiet. Everyone wasin bed except me. Under the strong light, I looked gloomily before me at a hugepile of that disgusting stuff they call“books”.
I was going to have my examination the next day. “Whencan I go to bed ” Iasked myself. I did not answer. In fact I dared not.
The clock struck 12.“Oh, dear!”I cried. “Ten more books to read before Ican go to bed!”We students are the most wretched creatures in the world.
亲爱的老师们，亲爱的学生们：
早上好!
5月5日是端阳，门口放满了艾。吃粽子，撒糖，赛龙舟。节日是人生的礼物，因为等待的过程充满惊喜，一切准备都是甜蜜的。
端午节前几天，最有气氛。勤劳的人们异常忙碌开朗，空气中弥漫着粽子叶的香味。这是幸福的生活。
端午节始于中国春秋战国时期，已有20__多年的历史。那么是一个怎样的节日呢?
首先，端午节是纪念屈原的节日。因为爱国诗人屈原看到国破民亡，五月初五投汨罗江。屈原沉入河中后，古人将竹筒中的米丢入河中，成千上万的船只燃起熊熊烈焰，呐喊鼓噪，以吓跑恶龙，从而表达对屈原的崇敬和怀念。
第二，端午节是健康的节日。端午节是春夏交替的时候。天气炎热多雨潮湿，蚊虫滋生，是传染病高发季节。为了避免疾病，古人在端午节时插入艾叶，驱赶蚊子、苍蝇、昆虫和蚂蚁，净化空气。
第三，端午节是一个体育节日。因为这一天人们会在水上赛龙舟。赛龙舟是一项极具气势和合作精神的竞技活动。端午节比赛可以促进身体健康和人民团结。
第四，端午节是一个美食节。早在晋代，粽子就被官方指定为端午节食品。人们泡糯米，洗粽子叶，包粽子，粽子的颜色多种多样。形状有四边形，圆锥形，菱形。从馅来看，北方有很多包枣;南方有豆沙、鲜肉、火腿、蛋黄等各种馅料。可谓是香叶，好吃的饺子。
同学们，中国的传统节日文化内涵丰富，但一些传统习惯已经淡化了很多。我希望我们能以爱和珍惜来度过中华民族的每一个传统节日，成为古代文明和传统文化的传承人和传播者。
谢谢大家!
