1.Jane Eyre I have read a book called Jane Eyre. I think the story was very interesting. The girl called Jane Eyre was very brave. Jane was an orphan. She lived in her aunts house. Her aunt didnt like her, so she took her to an orphanage. Jane studied in the orphanage and learned a lot of things. When Jane grew up, she worked as a governess in a big family and taught the child in this family. Bit by bit, Jane and her master Mr Rochester came to fall in love with each other. But the master had a wife. She was a madwoman. When Jane knew this, she left her teaching post. But she could not forget her master. So, at last, she visited her master. At that time, her master house was burnt down and he became handicapped. His mad wife died in the big fire. Jane decided to get married with him and look after him. Jane Eyre found his real love and she was a happy woman. The most important thing is that Jane believed everybody were equal. Do you think so? 2. Notes onOut of nowhere I am a boy, so I like playing basketball very much. Every Sunday, I like watching NBA on TV. I have read an article from English Salon. This article is “Out of nowhere”. It is about an NBA player in Dallas Mavericks. His name is Dirk Nowitzki. This article tells us Nowitzki is from Germany. He is able to sprint up court like a swing-man. However, he practices every day. I think studying is like playing basketball. We must work harder and harder. And we must try our best to study each subject well. If we do like this, I think we will do well in our subjects as Nowitzki plays basketball. We can also “Out of Nowhere” in studying. 3. After reading Harry Potter When I read the article “Harry Potter returns” I was very excited because there will be a new book：Harry Potter and the Half blood PrinceHarry Potter is one of my favourite books. The first five books are very wonderful and strange. I think the sixth book is worth waiting for. I have already read the five books. I think many people like Harry Pottertoo. They also hope the sixth new book will come to China as soon as possible because people can not wait to read the new book. We are looking forward to the new book, because we are true readers. Harry Potteris really interesting, wonderful and makes people excited. After reading this article, I also learn many new words, for example, hints, characters, worth and blood. Reading books or newspapers can bring many benefits， we can get a lot of useful information，and we can study many things as well. Reading is good for us and it can help us to study. I advise all students to read as many books as they can. 4. After reading The Coldest Place on the Earth Do you know where the coldest place on the Earth is? Yes, its the Antarctica, or the South Pole. People arrived in the Antarctica in December 14th, 1911. And this book, the Coldest Place on the Earth, tells us a sad story in it. A team from Britain and another team from Norway were in this race, they all wanted to be the first team to get to the South Pole. They also hope that the flag of their country could be the first to wave in the sky of the South Pole. In the end, the Norwegians were the first with their captain Amundsen. But the Britain team with their captain Scott died in the Antarctica. Robert Scott and his friends were dead in the Antarctica, but they showed their spirit: always be brave and confident; never give up. We should do everything confidently. There are many difficulties in our study, work and life. But we should be brave, and have courage. We should go on along our road. Then we can see the hope. Well succeed. But you know, many people give up when they face difficulties. They think that: I cant go over this difficulty. I must go back. Thats wrong. All of us have this ability to overcome difficulties. 5. The real beauty When I became a 12-year-girl, I started to pick on my appearance. I didnt like to stand in front of the mirror, and I was really self-contemptuous. I thought I dont have big enough eyes, or a slim and tall figure. But when I read the article by Chang Mengsu, I changed my thought. The topic of the article is “Beauty is only skin deep”. Chang Mengsu cared too much about her appearance before. She realized the real beauty from Mr. Hawking. Now, she knows physical figure is unimportant; we can become beautiful inside ourselves. We have to stop worrying about our appearance. To to be happy, be confident, find our true selves and build up our inner beauty can make us really beautiful. Her article led me to think about the real beauty again. Shes right. So, I thought of some successful people and the people around me. I think Pan Changjiang is a good example. He is very short and not handsome. But he is confident. As an comic actor, he brings a lot of fun to audiences all over our country. Everyone thinks that he is really lovely. Another example is J.K. Rowling. When she was young, she was very needy and had poor eyesight. Some children liked to laugh at her. But Rowling is brave and gritty. When Rowling published her series of Harry Potter, she became very rich and happy. All of her readers like her very much and they dont care of her appearance. Pan Changjiangs and Rowlings stories tell me, the real beauty is in the heart. I will be beautiful as long as I have good qualities. I am not good-looking, never mind. I have a good sense of humour, I am very kind, and these good characters make me beautiful. Now, I like my own self. Every morning, I smile to myself in the mirror. I say to the mirror, “Look, what a beautiful girl!”Chinese Spring FestivalSpring Festival is the Lunar New Year , it is a time for celebrating with family and friends. The Spring Festival is the most important traditional festival in China, which falls on in late January or early February. No matter wherever, how busy they are, Chinese will squeeze into the roads going home to spend the festival season with their family members.In ancient time, a mythological demon called” Nian” that lived under the sea would plague people once a year on the even of the new year. It jumped out from the sea, attacked villages, devouring people, animals and plants. Could no longer bear Nians brutal persecution, the villagers gathered to discuss how to deal with” Nian” and some people suggested that the demon was afraid of loud noises, red color and flame. So people lighted firecrackers, put on red couplets on their gates, lit firework and beat gongs and drums to drive Nian away. The idea worked and Nian ran away. So the peaple use this way to congratulation. People hang flower-decorated red lanterns in front of their houses. Office buildings and stores are also decorated with red lanterns.They symbolize happiness, prosperity and good luck in the New Year. Peaple had gotten the breakfast ready -Dumplings,they are very delicious.The first day of New Year was very
