Now I would like to tell yousomething about it.The Spring Festival is a Chinese traditional festival. It is the most important and enjoyable one. A few days before the festival, houses are cleaned and red couplets are put up on the doors of every household. They are said to frighten away the ghosts. On that day, people are dressed up. Firecrackers ring out in the air, which adds to the atmosphere of the festival. People after a year’s hard work begin to relax and visit one another. Presents and dinners are given to celebrate the happy reunion of friends and relatives. Families get together. They have jiaozi and enjoy the New Year TV show. Customs may vary from place to place, but the same happy atmosphere is to be found everywhere in the country.
Now, I hope you have some idea of Chinese Spring Festival.
Best wishes,
Yours,
Li Hua

Telling Lies
Telling lies is usually looked upon as an evil, because some people try to get benefit from dishonest means or try to conceal their faults.
However,_I_thinkdespitejits_neg1ative_effects,jsometimes_itjisjessentialto iemigsinour_dailylifei First, the liar may benefit from the lie by escaping from the pressure of unnecessary embarrassment. Meanwhile, the listener may also feel more comfortable by reasonable excuses. For example, if a little girl’s father died in an accident, her mother would comfort her by saying “farther has gone to another beautiful land”. In such cases, a lie with original goodwill can make the cruel nice. Second^thejsk^lsjofJtellingJlies^jtojsome extent,canbe_regard_asja_capacity_ofcreationandjimagination.
Therefore,jtakingjallJthese_factor^jntojconsideration,_wecandefinitely come to the conclusion that whether telling a lie is harmful depends on its original intention and the ultimate result it brings. (159 words)
说谎通常被视为罪恶，因为一些人试图通过不诚实的手段或对自身 缺点的掩盖，从而获利。
然而，我认为尽管有其消极影响，但有时在我们的日常生活中，说 谎是不可避免的。首先，说谎者能借谎言免去一些不必要的尴尬所带来 的`压力。同时，听众也会因合理的借口而感到更加自在。例如，如果一 个小女孩的父亲在一次意外中丧身，她的母亲就会安慰她说：“爸爸去 了另一个美丽的世界。”在这样的例子中，善意的谎言能化残酷为美好。 其次，说谎的技巧从某种程度而言可被视为一种创造力和想象力。
因此，综上所述，我们能够得出结论：谎言是否有害，这取决于它 的意图以及最终带来的后果。

Should you help the old when he/she falls down on the street?
In current days , with the development of society and economic ,series of social problems are appeared. In order to analyze this phenomenon three universities in Beijing jointly distribute an opinion poll about “Should you help the old when he/she falls down on the street?”.
From the result of this survey, we know that 29.6 percent of the people are surveyed think that whether they help the old or not will according to the circumstance. The people who will help the old are the most ,they accounted for 64.8 percent of them. And also have 8.3 percent hold the view that the old shouldn’t be help.
Why don’t they help the old falls down on the street? 5.3 percent of them are lack of medical knowledge. And 7.2 percent of them think that it’s not related to them. But the major, 87.4 percent of them are afraid of getting themselves into trouble.
Through this result, we can see clearly that crisis of confidence between people. Sincere and confidence are replaced by dishonest and hypocritical. Cautious and alert are deeply rooted.
In my opinion, we all should help each other. Respect and take good care of the old is the traditional Chinese virtues. When we meet the case, we’d better call health care workers for help. Because we lack of medical knowledge may cause more harm to the old. I hope there is less harm and more worm in our life.

当他/她跌倒在街上时，你应该帮助老人吗?
当前，随着社会经济的发展，出现了一系列社会问题。为了分析这一现象，北京三所大学联合发布了一项民意调查，“当老人摔倒在街上时，你应该帮助老人吗?”。
从本次调查的结果，我们知道，百分之29.6的人被调查认为，他们是否帮助老人或不将根据情况。帮助老人的人最多，他们占百分之64.8。也有百分之8.3个认为老人不应该帮助。
他们为什么不帮助老人在街上跌倒呢?其中百分之5.3是缺乏医学知识。百分之7.2的人认为这与他们无关。但少校，其中百分之87.4人害怕惹上麻烦。
通过这个结果，我们可以清楚地看到人们之间的信任危机。真诚和自信被虚伪和虚伪所取代。谨慎和警惕根深蒂固。
在我看来，我们都应该互相帮助。尊重和爱护老人是中华民族的传统美德。当我们遇到这种情况时，我们最好打电话给卫生保健人员寻求帮助。因为我们缺乏医学知识可能会对老年人造成更多伤害。我希望生活中少一些伤害和更多的虫子。

Environmental Protection
No one，regardless of race, religion or nationality, can deny that the world we live in is becoming increasingly intolerable because of the effects of global warming. According to many experts, even greater impacts are still on the way.
There are numerous causes for this problem. On one hand, human-related emissions of carbon into the atmosphere is causing, and will in the future cause, significant global warming according to the theory. On the other hand, the lack of knowledge about the importance of protecting environment hinders the solving of the problem.
It is urgent that immediate and effective actions should be taken right away. First, more trees need to be planted to help improve and beautify the environment. Besides, stricter laws concerning global warming and irresponsible use of fuel resources have to be put into effect and achieved good results. In a word, there is a long way to go before we can take a comfortable world for granted again .
