Golden week means long vacation. I'm in favor of the existing of golden week. Every year, I'm looking forward to its coming. During the golden week, I can have a good rest at home or go for a travel if my parents would like to. It is very wonderful. A semester is very long, and I often feel tired after a semester. Thus, if I can have a little long vacation during the long time study would be great. After I have a good rest, I can study effectively. Having a good rest, everyone would be full of energy.

黄金周意味着长假。我赞成黄金周的存在。每年我都期待着黄金周的到来。在黄金周期间，如果我的父母愿意，我可以在家好好休息，或者去旅行。这是非常美妙的。一个学期很长，一个学期后我经常感到疲倦。因此，如果我能在长时间的学习中有一个小长假，那将是很好的。在我好好休息之后，我可以有效地学习了。好好休息，每个人都会精力充沛。

Winter begins with December and lasts for three months. The weather is very cold. It's extremely cold in the late winter.

冬天从十二月开始，持续三个月。天气很冷。最后一个月是最冷的。

In winter, the roofs are usually covered with frost in the early morning. Brooks and rivers will be frozen and the ground will be frozen hard too during the coldest period. All the insects sleep under the ground without eating. Nothing looks as fine as in the spring time.

在冬天，屋顶通常在清晨被霜覆盖。在最冷的时候，小溪和河流会结冰，地面也会结冰。所有的昆虫都睡在地下不吃东西。没有什么比春天更美好了。

However, when snows fall, we can enjoy a wonderful white world. How beautifully it is falling all day long, all night long, on the mountains, on the meadows, on the roofs of the living, on the graves of the dead. All is white. Then children will stay outdoors to make snowmen.

然而，当下雪时，我们可以享受一个美妙的白色世界。它整日整夜地落在山上、草地上、活人的屋顶上、死人的坟墓上，多么美丽。一切都是白色的。然后孩子们会呆在户外堆雪人。

In recent years studying abroad has been popular in our country.

近年来，出国留学在我国很流行。

More and more middle school students would like to go abroad through mediators. Is it good or bad to study abroad? In my opinion on one hand it has some advantages. Studying abroad can provide better studying conditions. People can make rapid progress in their foreign language study and it can also help widen their field of vision. Meanwhile young students can learn advanced science and technology from foreign countries and spread cultures of different nations.

越来越多的中学生愿意通过调解员出国。出国留学是好是坏？在我看来，一方面它有一些优点。出国留学可以提供更好的学习条件。人们可以在外语学习上取得快速进步，这也有助于拓宽他们的视野。同时，年轻学生可以从外国学习先进的科学技术，传播不同国家的文化。

On the other hand it has disadvantages. For example because of the lack of living experience and poor capability to take care of themselves they may feel lonely and homesick. In addition high living expenses and tuition fees will become a heavy burden upon their parents.

另一方面，它也有缺点。例如，由于缺乏生活经验和生活自理能力差，他们可能会感到孤独和想家。此外，高昂的生活费和学费将成为他们父母的沉重负担。

So I think whether studying abroad or not should be decided according to oneself and one’s family. It is not right to follow others.

所以我认为是否出国留学应该根据自己和家人来决定。追随他人是不对的。

现在社会普遍对00后有一些误解，认为他们自私、无礼，所以不能很好地与人沟通，那么，作为一名00后学生，你又是怎么看待这个问题的呢？

请结合你自己和周围同学的表现，分别列举至少三条优点和两条不足之处进行描述。

As students born after 2000, we have so many advantages. We are usually kind and helpful. When someone is in trouble, we always give him or her a hand. We are also active. We like to do sports and go traveling. Most of us can work hard in class and play happily after school. Besides, we are imaginative and creative. We always try something new and do everything differently.

作为2000年后出生的学生，我们有很多优势。我们通常很友善，乐于助人。当某人有困难时，我们总是帮助他或她。我们也很积极。我们喜欢做运动和旅行。我们大多数人都能在课堂上努力学习，放学后快乐地玩耍。此外，我们富有想象力和创造力。我们总是尝试新的东西，做每件事都不同。

On the other hand, we also have some disadvantages. Sometimes we can't express our opinions in proper ways; sometimes we are a little over confident. And many students have no brothers or sisters, so they may do everything for themselves. These problems may make us seem impolite, even we can't communicate with others well. So it's the most important for us to learn how to get on well with others.

另一方面，我们也有一些缺点。有时我们不能用恰当的方式表达自己的意见；有时我们有点过于自信。许多学生没有兄弟姐妹，所以他们可以为自己做一切。这些问题可能会让我们显得不礼貌，甚至我们无法与他人很好地沟通。因此，我们最重要的是学会如何与他人和睦相处。

Halloween is on the last day of October, it is very popular in the western country. On that day, people will dress in the horrible style, especially for the kids, they will knock from door to door. If people don't give them the candy, the children will play tricks on them. But in China, more and more young people like to follow this trend, they will play the roles and find some fun. As for me, I'd like to join some activities on the Halloween. My friends always have some funny costumes, so I will borrow one from them. Then we dress together, when night comes, we will come to join the party. We sing and dance. It is such a fun night. Before the midnight, we will get together and take some drinks. We talk about the happy hour. I like these activities.

万圣节在10月的最后一天，它在西方国家很受欢迎。在那一天，人们会穿着恐怖风格的服装，尤其是孩子们，他们会挨家挨户敲门。如果人们不给他们糖果，孩子们就会捉弄他们。但在中国，越来越多的年轻人喜欢追随这个潮流，他们会扮演角色，找到乐趣。至于我，我喜欢在万圣节参加一些活动。我的朋友总是有一些有趣的服装，所以我会借一件。然后我们一起打扮，夜幕降临时，我们将会来参加聚会。我们唱歌跳舞。这是一个有趣的夜晚。在午夜之前，我们会聚在一起，喝饮料。我们谈论快乐的时光。我喜欢这些活动。

In China, a lot of students are complaining about the difficulty to master English. They know how important English is, but they just feel hard to learn it. However for many foreingers, when they start to learn Chinese, some even speak it very well. To conquer Chinese has been the popular slogan for them. As Chinese economy develops so fast, the foreigners have realized the trend, so mastering Chinese is the best way to seek for cooperation. Even though it has been admitted that Chinese is the most difficulty language to learn, still a lot of foreigners make up their minds and learn it well. As the saying that there is will, there is a way. So when we are complaining about the difficulty to learn second language, just thinking about the foreigners how to learn Chinese.

在中国，很多学生抱怨掌握英语很难，他们也知道英语是多么的重要，但就是觉得很难学。然而对于很多外国人来说，他们开始学习中文，有些人却能够说得很好。征服汉语一直是流行的口号。随着中国经济的快速发展，外国人已经意识到这一趋势，所以掌握好汉语是寻求合作的最好方法。就算大家都说汉语是最难学的语言，仍然还有很多的外国人下定决心去学好它。俗话说有志者，事竟成。所以当我们抱怨学习第二语言困难的时候，想想外国人是如何学习汉语的。

When summer holiday comes, I always go back to my hometown and spend the time with my grandparents. I like the life there, it is so simple and happy. Living in the countryside, I feel the peace in my heart. It seems the days become longer. In the morning, I hear the cock make out the sound, as if it is singing, then I wake up. Sometimes I will go to the mountain and I can hear some birds singing. I enjoy listening to these birds' sound. I am so close to the nature. I love everything that the nature brings. The green tree, the colorful flower, the clean water even the fresh air. I find its beauty.

暑假的时候，我总是会回到老家跟爷爷奶奶在一起。我喜欢那里的生活，它是如此的简单和快乐。住在乡下，我心里感受到了平静。在这里的日子似乎变得更长一些。早上，我听到公鸡的声音，好像是在唱歌，之后我就醒过来了。有时我会跑到山上去，可以听到一些鸟儿唱歌。我喜欢它们的声音。我是如此的接近大自然。我爱大自然带来的一切。绿色的树，五彩缤纷的花朵，干净的水甚至是新鲜的空气。我找到了它的美。

Last night, I enjoyed a wonderful party in my father's company. It was held by his company for workers enjoyment. Most performers were their workers. I heard that they prepared for it two months ago. They danced and sang songs. Some played simple but interesting drama that was the reflection of worker’s life. Some popular programs on the Internet were performed on the stage. The audiences enjoyed the party very much. So did I.

昨晚，我在父亲的公司里享受了一场精彩的聚会。这是他的公司为工人们举办的。大多数表演者都是他们的工人。我听说他们两个月前就准备好了。他们跳舞唱歌。有些人表演了简单但有趣的戏剧，反映了工人的生活。舞台上表演了一些网上流行的节目。观众们非常喜欢这个晚会。我也是。

Far and away the most important holiday in China is Spring Festival, also known as the Chinese New Year. To the Chinese people it is as important as Christmas to people in the West. the dates for this annual celebration are determined by the lunar calendar rather than the Gregorian calendar, so the timing of the holiday varies from late January to early February.

中国最重要的节日是春节，也就是中国的新年。对中国人来说，这和圣诞节对西方人一样重要。这个一年一度的庆祝活动的日期是由阴历而不是公历决定的，因此节日的时间从1月下旬到2月上旬不等。

To the ordinary Chinese, the festival actually begins on the eve of the lunar New Year's Day and ends on the fifth day of the first month of the lunar calendar. But the 15th of the first month, which normally is called the Lantern Festival, means the official end of the Spring Festival in many parts of the country.

对普通中国人来说，这个节日实际上从农历新年前夕开始，到农历正月初五结束。但正月十五（通常称为元宵节）意味着中国许多地区春节的正式结束。

The ugly and dirty, now nobody down the river to play, but in the summer it will rain, the water will rise, and then the water is clean, now we are in the evening under the river to wash clothes and play.

但现在河水又丑又脏，都没有人下河去玩了，还好到了夏天就会下大雨，河水就会涨，然后河水就干净了，现在我们都会在傍晚的时候下河去洗衣服和玩耍。

The river in my hometown can finally see the light!

家乡的河终于能重见光明了!

It was a very busy evening, I was doing my homework at my home. My father was writing a composition in the study room. My mother was interested in Shanghai opera. She was watching a Shanghai opera contest. the apartment was very quiet. Suddenly the light went out. It was a blackout, but I liked it very much. It came and I didn't have to do my homework. We went to the living room very slowly. After 5 minutes, we all sat in the sofa. It was a lucky, fortunate day. I said that let's held a concert. My parents aGREed with me. I took out some candles and lighted up. We were singing, laughing and talking. We had a really good time. But while I was singing, the light suddenly turned on. Oh, my God. My father went back to his room went on writing. My mother turned on the TV and said to me "Dear, do your homework!", I felt very frustrated. I sat at the desk and thought I hated light. I hoped there would be a blackout the next day. I thought I would enjoy myself more and more. I went into a dream……

那是一个非常忙碌的晚上，我在家做作业。我父亲在书房写文章。我母亲对上海歌剧感兴趣。她在看上海歌剧比赛。房间里很安静。突然，灯熄灭了。那是一次停电，但我非常喜欢。它来了，我不必做作业。我们慢慢地走进客厅。5分钟后，我们都坐在沙发上。这是一个幸运的日子。我说让我们开一场音乐会。我的父母同意我的意见。我拿出一些蜡烛点了起来。我们边唱边笑边聊天。我们玩得很开心。但当我唱歌的时候，灯突然亮了。噢，我的天。我父亲回到他的房间继续写作。我妈妈打开电视对我说“亲爱的，做你的作业！”，我感到很沮丧。我坐在桌子旁，觉得我讨厌光线。我希望第二天会停电。我想我会越来越开心。我进入了一个梦……

This winter is freezing cold. I didn't have any desire to go out for play. I always stayed at home. Actually, most of the time I was in my bed. When I felt anxious for staying inside too long, I will go near the window to watch the children building snowman or throwing snowballs. It seemed very interesting. But I just didn't want to go out. Later my mother found that I was so lazy. Then she forced me to go out. Since my mother said, I have no excuse to reject. My mother is right. Though the outside was icy, it's fantastic. Everything smells fresh. Since then, I went outside everyday, and then did my homework and felt full of energy. The holiday ended very soon. It was a lazy holiday.

今年冬天是寒冷的。我没有要出去玩的欲望。我总是呆在家里。 实际上，大多数时候我是待在床上。由于在室内待的时间过长而感到烦躁时，我会走近窗户看看在外面堆雪人打雪仗的小孩子。看起来非常有趣。但我就是不想出去。后来我妈妈发现我的懒散了。然后她就强迫我出去。因为我妈妈已经开口了，所以我没有理由拒绝。我妈妈是对的。虽然外面是冰冷的，但是感觉非常棒。在外面的一切都是新鲜的。自那时起，我每天都会出去，之后回来做作业，我也觉得充满活力。很快假期就结束了。这是一个慵懒的假期。

My winter holiday is very interesting. I can play a computer and watch a TV in the home. I still read some good books in the winter holiday. Because of the plan of value result of our school, let us time of few lesson remaining. Also opportunity to have no does the affair that likes to do. So, the winter holiday liked too to me.

Imagining to what freshman live is more, long for enjoyment, long for liberty.

我的寒假很有趣。我可以在家里玩电脑和看电视。寒假里我仍然读了一些好书。因为我们学校的重视成绩的规划，让我们很少有课余的时间。也有机会没有做喜欢做的事情。所以，寒假对我来说也很喜欢。但再次开学很快，它的结束意味着另一种生活的开始，我心里有点渴望，也有点恐惧。想象新生的生活是更多的，渴望享受，渴望自由。

I have a great time during the winter holiday, because I enjoy myself as well as focus on my study. As it's known to all, the Spring Festival is the most important in winter holiday that would occupy much time to celebrate it. Therefore, I finished my homework first, so that it won't bother my enjoyment during the festival. I finished my home work in one week and I went shopping with my parents. We bought a lot of things, especially snacks and fruits. Then, it was the Spring Festival. We had a big dinner on the New Year's Eve. My parents prepared the big dinner and I could only act as assistant. The dinner was so delicious that I ate so full. In the next several days, my parents and I visited our relatives and friends or they visited us. Sometimes, we went out for fun together. We children were always the most excited. Now, holiday is coming to the end and I will go to school soon. I am so happy that I have a wonderful winter holiday.

我度过了一个很快乐的寒假，因为我不仅玩得开心，也完成了我的学习任务。众所周知，春节是寒假的重头戏，我们会花很多的时间去庆祝新年。因此，我首先要完成作业，这样才不会让它们影响我过节的快乐心情。我用一个星期完成了寒假作业，期间也和爸爸妈妈一起出去购物，我们买了很多东西，特别是零食和水果。接下来，就是过春节了，我们吃了一顿丰盛的年夜饭。爸爸妈妈制作这顿大餐，而我只能帮忙打下手。年夜饭很好吃，我吃得很饱。接下来的几天，我们和亲人朋友互相串门拜年，有时候也一起出去游玩，我们小孩子是最兴奋的。现在，寒假马上就要结束了，我也要去上学了。度过了一个这么快乐而充实的假期让我很开心。
