Learn from the hero
Lin Tao is a nine-year old boy from Wenchuan. During the earthquake, he saved two of his classmates’ lives only by himself. After seven hours, all of them arrived at a safe place.
I knew Lin Tao from the newspaper. I couldn’t believe this was true at first since Lintao is just a nine-year old boy. However, he was so brave that I am deeply moved by what he did. He never gave up to live and he was very calm when he was in danger.
Although he is a little boy, but we can learn a lot from him: he is even brave than other adults, and he knew that how important to keep calm. The most important thing is that he thinks about other people all the time and tried his best to help other people.
I won’t forget Lintao, because he showed us what courage is. That’s what I learn from the hero-Lintao.
How do you to be a good child
In my opinion, to be a good child should have three virtues.
First, it is to know what is right and to do what you should do. For example, when other students have some problems, we should try our best to help them. When others are sad, we should share happiness and sadness together.
Second, which is the most important thing we should do as a student is studying hard. We should try to remember almost everything that teachers mention in the class. After school, we’d better review the lessons again. However, when we have some problems with some subject we should ask teachers for help at once.
Third, we should behave well at home as well. Besides, helping parents do some housework. We should also take care of ourselves when parents are not at home.
I will not just saying anything but doing nothing. So I will try to be a good child in my life.
Expectation to 2008 Olympic game
I am expecting for the Beijing 2008 Olympics game. Athletes from all over the world are coming to Beijing to join this most important sport meeting.
My favorite sport is tennis and my favorite athlete is Roger Federer, one of the greatest in the world. I am excited about going to the Olympic Gym to watch Roger’s matches. I wish he could continue breaking the records and making the history of tennis.
Although summer vacation is coming, I have no time to play tennis everyday. So I play it once or twice on weekends. Tennis can make me relax and bring me enjoyment.
Tennis is a part of my life and I will never give up playing it. I really hope Roger can hold the gold medal in the final and I sincerely hope 2008 Beijing Olympic game could be the most successful Olympic game in the history.
Raise money for the people in wenchuan
The Wenchuan earthquake happened on 2008/05/12. A lot of people died in the earthquake. People have no place to go and students can not go to school. People need essentials as well.
Some of the local companies contributed money for about 250000 for the people in wenchuan. Our school gave a benefit performance and I also contributed my own money. I think it is important to make some dedications for the people in wenchuan so that they could rebuild homeland as soon as possible.
I believe that if everyone can help the victims, wenchuan will be better immediately. So let’s make the word better and full of love!

You can stay in the hotels or tents in the park when you visit Wulingyuan.
It is a good choice to go to Wulingyuan when you are on holiday. I believe that you will enjoy your trip to the scenic and historic interest area.
Chinese festivals
There are many Chinese festivals and they are famous for its unusual history or special traditions of the customs. For example, Mid-autumn festival is famous for its delicious food, moon-cakes, and dragon boat festival is famous for the national hero-QuYuan.
We do different things on different festivals. We stay with the whole family and enjoy the beautiful scene of the moon and eat the moon-cakes on mid-autumn festival. We watch the dragon boat competition and eat Zongzi on dragon boat festival.
On the most important festival of the year-spring festival, we stay with our family members and eat dumpling .at midnight. We make fireworks and put up decorations.
But some festivals also bring us problems, such as the traffic problems. There are so many people having to go back home during the spring festival, therefore the traffic is to busy. We are looking forward the government solving the problem so that we could follow the tradition of every festival and enjoy ourselves!
To eat meat
To eat or not to eat meat, it is a normal question for us. Some people think that meat is too fatty and it is unhealthy. Other people agree with eating meat because they think meat can make us stronger and can bring us energy so they always eat fried chicken and meat burger.
From the way I think, eating meat is not a bad thing, but we can not eat too much.
We can get some iron, protein and other nutrition from meat. But eating too much meat is unhealthy; it may make us fatter and fatter. We should have a healthy diet so that we could be more health. So we should eat more vegetables and less meat.
Transportation
Today, we enjoy the various kinds of vehicles including planes, ships, trains, metros, bikes and so on. Some of them bring conveniences to us, for example, riding a bike is fast, light and it is good for our health. Other vehicles like motors are not only low lost but also fast. But transportation also brings us problems. Like financial budget, jam-packed, accidents and air pollutions. Compare plane with other vehicles, it is more comfortable fast and safe. But some people think by plane is out of their financial budget. Now many people appreciate conveniences of private cars and more and more families have their private cars. Therefore, we spend much time on the way to our destination. There are a lot of people die of the traffic accidents every year.
For these problems, we look to our government experts to solve them and scientists are working on developing modern fuel that produces less pollution. As you know, during 2008 Beijing Olympic game, the government used ‘single-double’ to limit private cars and a lot of people used the public transportations instead of private cars. The ‘single-double’ was very helpful, it made the traffic more the air more fresh. From the way I think, if everyone keeps the roles of traffic, there may have less accident. Afterwards, I hope we can solve the transportable problem as soon as possible.
Mobile phones
As a product of high-technology, mobile phones become more and easier to carry. We can use it wherever we are. We can connect anybody we want. Expect calling to others, we can also use it to send short messages, surf the internet information and so on, imagine that you are having an important meeting, but somebody is trying to connect you. The people who want connect you can send you a short message .After the meet you will see the message and give him a reply.
Mobile phones also come with a lot of problems. Some people say that using the mobile phones are not good for students. Because students often waste a lot of time on playing games or even use mobile phones to cheat in the exam.
But mobile phones also have advantages to student users. Parents can connect their children any time they want and know where their children are. From the way I think if students don’t waste a lot of time on chatting over the phone and playing games, using the mobile phone is not a bad thing.
