Founder of Labor Day
More than 100 years after the first Labor Day observance, there is still some doubt as to who first proposed the holiday for workers.
Some records show that Peter J. McGuire, general secretary of the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners and a cofounder of the American Federation of Labor, was first in suggesting a day to honor those "who from rude nature have delved and carved all the grandeur we behold."
But Peter McGuire"s place in Labor Day history has not gone unchallenged. Many believe that Matthew Maguire, a machinist, not Peter McGuire, founded the holiday. Recent research seems to support the contention that Matthew Maguire, later the secretary of Local 344 of the International Association of Machinists in Paterson, N.J, proposed the holiday in 1882 while serving as secretary of the Central Labor Union in New York. What is clear is that the Central Labor Union adopted a Labor Day proposal and appointed a committee to plan a demonstration and picnic.
The first Labor Day holiday was celebrated on Tuesday, September 5, 1882, in New York City, in accordance with the plans of the Central Labor Union. The Central Labor Union held its second Labor Day holiday ju
Now I am in winter holiday, I am so happy, I can have fun with my friends. My friends and I make the deal that when the wind comes, we will go to the park and fly kites. Today the wind finally comes, after finishing breakfast, I go the park with my friends. We take out our kites, mine are butterfly, my friends are birds, all are so funny. I start to let my kite fly, but it could not, so I run faster and faster, then my kite flies, I go let go it gradually. A few minutes later, my friends’ kites are also flying. Seeing our kites flying, I feel so free. Today, I have a great time.

Being a monitor is my dream, because I think it is so cool and I will have the power. So when I go into the middle school, I make my effort to be a monitor, luckily, all of my classmates trust me and elect me as their monitor. I am so happy, my little dream has come true, but I never expect that the monitor’s duty is so heavy. I can’t do what I want, every decision I make needs to consider so many things, if I go the wrong way, my classmates will have loss. As the saying that the more power, the more responsibility, I have pressure, but I learn many things, I become mature and can deal things well.
成为班长是我的梦想,因为我觉得班长很酷,我也会有权利。因此当我上初中了,我努力成为一名班长,幸运的,所有的同学都信任我,选我为他们的'班长。我很开心,我实现了小小的梦想,但是我没有预料到班长的责任是如此的重。我不能随心所欲,我做的每一个决定都要考虑到很多事情,如果我走错了路,我的同学也会遭受到损失。正如有句话说,能力越大,责任越大,我有压力,但是也学到了很多事情,我变得成熟,可以把事情处理好。
——题记
“英语就考了106分,做了那么多练习什么用?!你看看人家小叶也不看见做什么课外练习都考了129分!”英语老师用严厉的口吻批评着我,语气有些愤怒、有些失望。
我眼眶差点溢出了委屈的泪水,我也很努力去学习英语。背单词、做练习我也很用心啊。为什么就考不出70分的范围?为什么要有英语这课程?为什么我们要学习?为什么外国不是和我们一样说汉语而是英语?
突然想起了吴克群的《将军令》中的一句歌词:“我知道yoyoyo不是我的'语言……在你的世界学你说ABCD,在我的土地对不起请说华语……”
……
啊!英语,
你是正极,我是负极,我们一短兵相接就会使战争的导线升温!
你是老鼠,我就是猫,在自然界的生存法则里我们永远是天敌!
你是kiss,我是kill,所以我们就像爱与恨一样永远是opposite……
你是……
“侬有空写这些乱七八糟的东西,不会去多背几个单词,去做会阅读啊!……”一个熟悉又让我有些厌恶的声音像幽灵一样从我身后冒了出来。我几乎可以想象出接下来所谓的“台词”是什么。那些话已经停了不下N遍了,我都可以一字不漏地把那些台词复述出来。我想我的耳膜已经对这些“站着说话不嫌腰疼”的话产生抗体形成自动免疫功能。
我仍然陷在我的浮想中。我独来独往走在云彩之上,身边路过拿着英语书、词组纸的同学,目光茫然。我唤醒他们。
他们却对我说:“要上英语课了,你还不背单词啊!”我一愣。我想哭泣,想逃离,但是我此时此刻却不知道欲去何方……
我深陷在眼瞳中的字母里,昏厥,猛睁眼,天亮了,英语仍在……
