The Chinese New Year

Spring festival is coming. It's a traditional day for the Chinese people to get together besides the Mid-Autumn Day. For this reason, many people rush home wherever they are. However far they are and however busy they are, they try to go home. I am one of those who hate it because after one festival, I become one year older. Another reason is that there are many more ceremonies before or after the festival.

However, this spring festive is a bit special for me. I had a wonderful time. We didn't stay at home but had a travel and order a rich feast /dinner in a restaurant. Though it was very much expensive, we could spare much

effort preparing the dinner which we couldn't have eaten and also we could have a lot of time to enjoy ourselves. You see, nowadays, the living standard has been greatly improved and eating is not so much a problem as before, so we have to find other kind of ways to enjoy ourselves. Traveling is a good way of spending the traditional festivals. We went to Xishuangbaina, Dali, and the Stone Forest. My family, especial my children are all excited, learning a lot about the Minorities' tradition. I wish one day I could go abroad to spend the festival if we could make enough money!

Advantages and Disadvantages of the Mobile Phone

1.手机的好处；

2.手机带来的问题。

范文：

We can see around us that more and more students are going to own a mobile phone .From NOKIA to SIEMENS, from national to imported, from low price to high price……

As a communication device, the mobile phone benefits us a lot. W e can use it to keep in touch with our families, our friends and our classmates wherever we are. In festivals, we can send short messages to wish good

luck to other people we known. It brings us a lot of convenience.

As a coin has two sides, the mobile phone also has disadvantages. We spend too much time on spelling our words and sending short messages that we can't focus on our studies. Also, you will always be annoyed by strangers' calls one after another.

In my opinion, we can use it. But we shouldn't spend too much time on it and don't let it disturb us from our studies. And we should not easily tell people our phone numbers who we don't recognize.

Chinese family life has changed a lot in recent years. Changes are brought by the economic development, which improves people’s living condition considerably. For example, up-to-date houses well equipped with electronic appliances are regarded as mansions by the old, and it is such a common thing for one to sit comfortably in the sofa, watching TV after one day’s work. In addition, the way people think of family has also changed. Big families have come to disappear, especially in modern cities. Instead, nuclear families are getting more and more. With the revolutionary thoughts about family, now even the only child may live far away from their parents. Predictably, more changes will occur from now on. Our family life will not be the same as before.

Dear Mr. Zhang:

I am sorry to tell you that I cannot go to school today because I had an accident yesterday.

Yesterday afternoon, a motorcycle crashed into my bicycle when I was on my way home. It happened when I was going to make a turn and the motorist didn’t expect my turning. Fortunately, I jumped down from the bike before it ran into me. But I got hurt in my leg after all. People on the spot sent me to the hospital immediately. The doctor told me that I should stay in bed for three days. Now I am writing to you to ask for three days’ sick leave. Thank you very much.

Yours respectfully,

Zhang Lin
