     •     Regardless of what color others like best, The green is the best in my sky.

     •     It’s so light when coming out in spring;
           So thick during summer;
           It ornaments the colorful fruits in autumn;
           But withering, falling like dreamlike butterflies covering the ground to wait another life.

     •     I like green as it’s the most ordinary one and still remember a word, “when we keep hope alive, hope keeps us
alive.” Green stands for hope in my dictionary. It teaches me to calm my impetuous heart down as green trees
stand like honest prayers.

     •     I like green for its firm and tenacious character. Look at these plants growing from huge stones or standing by the cliff, even after a cold winter, a big fire. IT seems that the harder the environment is, the more beautiful green shows to me.

     •     I like green thanks to its bravery. It stands uprightly and firmly no matter how bad the weather is outside. The green washed by a heavy shower, it turns an emerald green, The green experiencing a storm or lightning, it becomes thicker and more determined.

     •     I like green because the green is much helpful and has a holly job – to refresh the endless dirty air. It’s willing to sacrifice itself for the exchange of enjoyable space.

     •     I like green, it spreads almost everywhere, even the isolated desert. Every time I see it, a sense of peace springing out from my soul. I like green, light green or dark green, no matter how others think about it.

     •     Here, at last. I’d like to express my thankfulness to my school, where I have been staying for six years. I have to leave soon. I won’t forget the happiness in it, as well as this green ocean. Goodbye, my old school, as well my loving green there.

Title: Body Language
QQ: 1045596709

Body language is used every single day by different people. I think body language is silent but very important. Gestures, facial expressions and body movements in body language greatly add to – and sometimes even replace – spoken language. On the other hand, others hold the opinion that body language is ambiguous and sometimes it can lead to misunderstanding. For example, nodding one’s head means “Yes” and shaking one’s head means “No” in China, while in some other cultures, the opposite is true.

In my opinion, we should pay great attention to the use of body language when communicating with foreigners, because body language in different cultures has different meanings. In spite of this, there is one form of body language that receives universal approval – the smile. It means friendliness forever.


We can see the sky is blue. It seems a queen. When she was angry, the sky will get black and the cloud will come in. And the sky will rain, the big rain!

If she is happy, the sky will have sun. It's very comfortable. And we can absorb the ultraviolet rays and the minerals.

So we should make her happy. For example, make less pollution and drop less litter.

Let's go!

Title: What Can I Do For Wenchuan?
QQ: 845543679

An earthquake happened in Wenchuan. The day is 5.12. Many parents lost their children and houses. What should I do?

I will use my pocket money to buy some books, rulers, and clothes, send it there, and then I will write a letter for them. Oh! I will go there to talk to them face to face. Which isn't true…

Title: The Autumn
QQ: 1049819757

The autumn has come. The autumn girl comes to us quietly, wearing yellow clothes. The sky is bright blue while the white clouds move freely. All these make people feel the sky is so high and the air is so fresh and cool.

When I come to a park, I see some of the grass green and others yellow. It seems that they don't want to take off the summer clothes. From a distance, the grass field looks like a carpet that mixes the yellow and green. Walk across it and you come to a sea of bamboo. The branches are green with just a few yellow leaves, lust like a boat on the sea. Strong wind comes and the branches seem like that they are going to fall off. But a moment, they still stand up with the strong will.

The golden autumn is colorful and beautiful just like a picture.

Title: Air Pollution
QQ: 524431764

Under the blue sky, nowadays people in the world are facing many environmental problems, for example air pollution. What contributes to the pollution and what should we do to improve the present situation?

What causes it?

With the development of industry, more and more poisonous gases are emitted in the air. But the directors of those factories still don't' take measures to reduce the pollution because they want to make a fortune. They may have never thought that the pollution is not only harmful to others but also to themselves.

In order to make paper, chopsticks (which are just used one time), and other things, people have cut down many trees while they wont' plant trees after that, so the water and soil are running away and trees aren't able to improve the air pollution.

On top of the two reasons that I have listed above, there are many other causes such as burning plastic bags and straw.

Solutions

     •     The government should make laws, which forbid the factories from pouring polluted water into the river and letting polluted gas out.

     •     People can plant trees to improve the air and keep the water and soil from running away.

     •     Reduce to use plastic bags and make full use of straw.

People, Eastern or Western, rich or poor, should try our best to prevent our environment from being further damaged, so we can enjoy ourselves under the blue sky.

People like to spend Christmas with the closest relatives and the most important activity of Christmas is Christmas Eve supper. The whole family just together around the table, and there are twelve traditional dishes on the table and you should taste them all, because if you don't try any of them you may face some misfortune in the following year. Well, before everybody sits down to eat the supper, we just break waters with each other, wishing each other good luck. When the supper is over, the children go to the other room, the big Christmas tree stands there, and they find some Christmas presents under the Christmas tree. After the supper, the whole family just sit around the table singing Christmas carols and waiting for midnight, then they go to church.


There are many interesting things in the world, such as some customs in different countries. For example, introduction, social behavior, food, and so on.

Firstly, they are different in the introduction. In Greece, shaking your head means yes and nodding means no. In America, it's the other way round! In Japan and Korea, it is not polite to look someone in the eyes.

Secondly, they are different in the social behaviors. In most cultures, waving can mean either hello or goodbye. Japanese people greet each other by bowing.

Hugging and kissing is only for close family or friends. People in European countries such as Italy often greet each other with a kiss on both cheeks. Even men greet each other like this. In some cultures, it is customary to kiss on the check three times. But when you're not sure what the customs are in a new country, there's one greeting that is the same all over the world: a smile. Everyone understands a smile so don't be scared to use it.

Finally, there are different in eating. Chinese people like to eat rice and noodles and dumplings. And they use chopsticks to eat this. But people in Thailand like to use a fork and spoon to eat noodles.

I am very interested in these customs. I hope I can travel all over the world when I grow up.

I like the sun very much! After school, I often go to the playground to enjoy the sun with my best friend. It's so warm! The sun gives us good health. In the morning, you can see the sun rise in the east. It seems like a big cake and it's smiling at us. I'm very happy when the sun is in the sky.


I like blue, because sky is blue. Touch the sky, can feel happy. Where the clouds float through. Smile at the sunshine. The bird flies in the sky so high. It plays with the clouds, it mocks the skies.

At night, touch the sky. It's so quiet. The moon has a face like the clock in the hall. On streets and fields and harbor quays.

Do you want to up in the air so blue? Do such can make you forget some unhappy things. So I like blue, like the sky and love touch the sky!

One day, Jenny and her classmates went out for a picnic in the country. When they arrived there, they were upset, because the environment was so dirty.

In the past, the country was beautiful. The air was fresh in there. There are many beautiful flowers, the bees and butterflies were flying in it. The trees and grass looked very green, and the river was very clean. Some fish were swimming in the river. They seemed to happy. But now, all things had changed. The river became so dirty and the fishes died. Not only the river became dirty but also the flowers were dead. What's more, the bees and butterflies were gone. Trees were cut in there. Especially the air was terrible. And what caused the problem?

Jenny saw some factory here. So she thinks the factory is the reason for these problems. The factory put wastewater into the river and caused the fishes to die. And the factory emits much terrible gas into the sky. The air was polluted too.

Jenny and her classmates decided to write a letter about the country pollution, then send it to the government. They hope the government can solve the problem. And they want to see the beautiful country again.

Every person should protect the environment of the world. The earth is our home, everybody needs to take good care of it.
