Christmas Day falls on the twenty-fifth of December.It is a very happy day for many boys and girls .Before the term ends in some schools ,the children act a nativity or “birth” play,showing how Jesus was born in a stable.
On the twenty-fourth of December,all children are very excited.Usually they are sent to bed early so that their parents can get the presents ready.The younger children think that Father Christmas will come down the chimney or fireplace ,so they hang up a sock for him to put presents in.The greedy ones even hang up a pillow-case or a sack to try to get more presents.Later that night,Father or Mother will put presents in the sock,and leave others at the side of the bed.
On Christmas morning,the children wake up very early.Some even turn on the light at two o'clock,and most of them are awake by six o'clock although it is not light in England for another hour or two at this time of the year.Children look for their presents,and the young ones play while the dinner is prepared.At about one o'clock in the afternoon,the Christmas dinner is brought in.The turkey or chicken is quickly eaten.Children search in their Christmas pudding for new coins which are hidden in it.The rest of the day is full of games and eating until the happiest of all Christmas hollidays comes to an end.
我的家乡在农村,那里虽然落后,但是空气清新,比城里环境好多了。
家乡一年的美景在于纯夏两季。不过,秋冬也不错。
当春姑娘迈着轻盈的步伐走来,她向大地轻轻地吹了一口气,万物苏醒了。瞧,可爱的小鸟“唧唧喳喳”地唱着美妙的歌,展开翅膀在树枝上荡来荡去。花儿们好象事先约好了似的,纷纷吐出鲜艳的花蕾。小草从地下探出头来,在微风中不停地摇曳着,充满了生机。柳树姑娘那飘逸的长发随风舞动,好象在欢迎春姑娘的到来。
当夏天来临时,柳树慷慨地送给人们一片绿绿的浓阴。娇嫩的玫瑰花含苞待放,有的绽开迷人的脸庞。灼热的太阳虽然刺的人们睁不开眼,但勤劳的农民伯伯们仍在田地里劳作。蝉在树上“知了知了”叫个不停,好象在说:“好热啊!”
秋天夸张的来到人间,大地一片金黄。树叶次第飘下来,给大地铺上了一层厚厚的金色地毯。果园内果实累累,回报了人们的.辛勤培育。大雁排着“人”字形队伍,成群结队的向温暖的南方飞去。田野里,高粱举起燃烧的火把,稻秆被稻穗压得直不起腰……
秋天匆匆的走了,冬天悄悄的来了。鹅毛般的雪花从天上飘下来,小河结了一层厚厚的冰,晶莹剔透,明晃晃的,如同一面闪闪发光的镜子。虽然天气很冷,但是小朋友们还是激情满怀的在堆雪人、打雪仗。冬天就要结束了,新的一年就要开始了,大家放鞭炮、贴、拜年、吃水饺,都沉浸在快乐的笑声中……
Many people simply regard Pride and Prejudice as a love story, but in my opinion, this book is an illustration of the society at that time. She perfectly reflected the relation between money and marriage at her time and gave the people in her works vivid characters. The characters have their own personalities. Mrs. Bennet is a woman who makes great efforts to marry off her daughters. Mr. Bingley is a friendly young man, but his friend, Mr. Darcy, is a very proud man who seems to always feel superior. Even the five daughters in Bennet family are very different. Jane is simple, innocent and never speaks evil of others. Elizabeth is a clever girl who always has her own opinion. Mary likes reading classic books. (Actually she is a pedant. Kitty doesn’t have her own opinion but likes to follow her sister, Lydia. Lydia is a girl who follows exotic things, handsome man, and is somehow a little profligate. When I read the book, I can always find the same personalities in the society now. That is why I think this book is indeed the representative of the society in Britain in the 18th century.
The family of gentleman in the countryside is Jane Austen’s favourite topic. But this little topic can reflect big problems. It concludes the stratum situation and economic relationships in Britain in her century. You can find these from the very beginning of this book.
The first sentence in this book is impressive. It reads: “It is a truth well known to all the world that an unmarried man in poss ession of a large fortune must be in need of a wife”. The undertone is very clear: the foundation of the marriage at that time is not emotion but possession.
People always think that Austen was an expert at telling love stories. In fact, the marriage in her book is not the result of love, but the result of economic needs. After reading this book, I know the truth is that a poor woman must be in need of a husband, a wealthy man.
I couldn’t forget how eager Mrs. Bennet wants to marry off her daughte rs. If you want to know why she is so crazy about these things, I must mention the situation in Britain at that time. Only the eldest son had the privilege of inheriting his father’s possessions. Younger sons and daughters who are used to luxurious lives have no choice but marry a man or woman in possession of a large fortune to continue their comfortable lives. Thus, we can see that getting married is a way to become wealthier, particularly for women without many possessions. Jane Austen told us that money and possession determined everything, including marriage and love in her century.
In “Pride and Prejudice”, the sister of Mr. Bingley strongly opposed his plan of marrying Jane because the Bennets don’t have many possessions and their social positions are much lower than them. From this, we can see there are a lot of obstacles for a not very rich woman to marry a wealthy husband. The society, the relatives would not allow them to get married.
In modern society, although the marriages of economic needs have decreased rapidly, the concept of “money determines everything” is still rooted in some people’s mind. A lot of parents try hard to interfere their children’s marriages. Education background, possessions, jobs remains the main reason that may influence one’s marriage. Marry for money is still a big problem in our
society. We can’t help thinking: can money determine everything?
Austen left this problem for us to think. The genius of Jane Austen lies in this perfect simplicity, the simplicity that reflects big problems. Although Austen was only 21 when she wrote “Pride and Prejudice”, her sharp observation of social lives makes the style of this book surprisingly mature and lively. The plots in her works are always very natural. The development of the plot is as inevitable as a problem in mathematics. I think the depth of Pride and Prejudice is the reason that makes this book prominent and classic. Today, her book still can be the guide telling us the economic relationships both at her time and in modern time.

现如今,随着工业的发达,废气排放物的增多,工业垃圾的增多……各个国家,各个城市都在大力提倡环保。一些社会上的志愿者们已不忍去看环境的恶化,他们主动提出环保并致力于环保。在我看来,如果人们不再关注一下环境问题的话,整个地球终将会毁灭的。据有关调查显示,地质灾害一年比一年的多,一次比一次的严重。环境学家表示,造成这样的原因不是大自然在捉弄我们,罪魁祸首是人们。泥石流的产生是因为人们在不断地砍伐树木,导致土壤疏松,当下大雨时就会冲走这些泥土从而形成泥石流。泥石流带给人们的经济损失非常之大,人们相当于自己给自己挖一个陷阱然后跳下去祸害自己啊。每当从新闻上看到某地又发生什么什么灾害时,心里不由得痛心起来。
不仅如此,人们犯下的错误还不止这些。现代化的工厂生产遗留下来的废弃物,为了方便处理,直接把这些废弃物排到河中,这样既污染了水源又破坏了水里的.生态平衡。要知道,现在有许多国家是严重缺水国家。在非洲,一年中大约要有6000多万人死于饮水问题。地球上的淡水资源本来就稀少,可人们不但不珍惜水资源,还浪费、污染、破坏水资源。如果人们能把浪费的水资源节约起来,那么那些水资源将会养活多少人啊!
现在人们宣称要征服自然,开发完大自然所拥有的一切宝藏。但是我们错了,我们在大自然眼里只算一些渺小的微生物,想要和大自然抗衡是不可能的。地震、海啸、泥石流等等只是大自然给人们的一些小小的惩罚,如果人们有一天真的惹怒了大自然,大自然将会给人们带来更大的灾难。
所以人们应该爱护自然,保护自然,再也不要宣称什么征服自然。爱护我们身边的环境,就是爱护我们的家园,爱护我们的家园就是爱护我们自己。
