1: How Can We Stay Healthy?

  Recently, a novel coronavirus,which has great harm to people's health, has attacked the world. Therefore, I would like to talk about how teenagers can improve our immunity.

  First of all, we must ensure that we have a healthy diet, which will help our body get enough nutrition. In addition, we should develop excellent living habits，such as drinking more water and doing more exercise. especially during this special period, we can do rope- skipping and do gymnastics at home. What's more, we should keep a regular schedule. We cannot stay up late, because adequate sleeping time and good-quality sleep are very important for our health. Last but not least, why not keep a positive and optimistic attitude at any time? Believe that we can stay healthy, and then we really can!

In a word, the whole society should pay more attention to how to keep healthy. Only in this way can we improve our immunity and keep away from diseases.

1.我们怎样才能保持健康?

最近，一种对人类健康危害极大的新型冠状病毒袭击了全世界。因此，我想谈谈青少年如何提高免疫力。

首先，我们必须确保我们有一个健康的饮食，这将帮助我门的身体得到足够的营养。此外，我们应该养成良好的生活习惯，比如多喝水、多做运动。尤其是在这个特殊的时期，我们可以在家里跳绳和做体操。更重要的是，我们应该保持规律的作息时间。我们不能熬夜，因为充足的睡眠时间和高质量的睡眠对我们的健康非常重要。最后但同样重要的是，为什么不在任何时候都保持积极乐观的态度呢?相信我们可以保持健康，然后我们就真的可以!

总之，整个社会应该更加关注如何保持健康。只有这样， 我们才能提高免疫力，远离疾病。

2: Garbage Classification

With the development of science and technology, our life is becoming much better and more convenient. However, more garbage and pollution are produced at the same time, which lays a heavy burden on our environment. As is known to all, environment plays a vital role in our daily life.In response to the severe situation, we should take effective measures to protect the planet where we coexist. It is suggested that we should sort waste to relieve the situation.

Garbage classification, which is a good way to protect our environment, can't be overemphasized.It can help separate recyclable waste, which can be fully utilized to help save the resources to a large extent. Not only can we make our environment clean and beautiful, but also recyclable waste can be made good use of to benefit us in return.

As garbage classification is significant, we should take an active part in putting it into practice. It's a must for us to learn to sort waste. It is the little things we do today that have a profound influence on the planet. Only if all of us make joint efforts can we make a big difference and have a good environment.

2.垃圾分类

随着科学技术的发展，我们的生活变得好得多，也方便得多。然而，更多的垃圾和污染同时产生，这对我们的环境造成了沉重的负担。众所周知，环境在我们的日常生活中起着至关重要的作用。为了应对严峻的形势，我们应该采取有效措施来保护我们共同生存的星球。有人建议我们分类垃圾以缓解这种情况。

垃圾分类是保护环境的一个好方法，怎么强调也不过分。它可以帮助分离可回收垃圾，充分利用这些垃圾在很大程度上有助于节约资源。我们不仅可以使我们的环境清洁和美丽，而且可回收垃圾也可以得到很好的利用，使我们得到回报。

因为垃圾分类意义重大，所以我们应该积极参与实践。我们必须学会分类垃圾。正是我们今天所做的。

3: Rent Clothes

 In recent years, renting clothes has become an increasingly popular trend among people of all ages，at home and abroad.

Clothes rental stores specialize in renting second-hand clothes. which will make the most of resources. There are a wide variety of clothes available in clothes rental stores,including children's wear, formal attire, maternity dress, wedding dress, which are suitable for people of all ages and can be applied to any occasion. In addition, what impresses the customers most is that not only the quality of the clothes is reliable but the prices are reasonable and affordable.On top of that, if there is no damage to the clothes and they are preserved in good condition, customers can get a full refund.

3.租衣服

近年来，租衣服已成为国内外各年龄段人群日益流行的趋势。服装租赁店专门租二手衣服，这样可以充分利用资源。服装租赁店内可供选择的服装种类繁多，包括童装、正装、孕妇装、婚纱等，适合各个年龄段的人群，适用于任何场合。另外，给顾客留下最深刻印象的不仅是衣服质量可靠，而且价格合理实惠。除此之外，如果衣服没有损坏并且保存完好，顾客可以得到全额退款。听起来很棒，不是吗?

因此，假设你想体验一种新的获取衣服的方式，不妨试试租衣服。我深信你会对服装租赁店印象深刻。我强烈建议你试试这个新事物，亲身体验一下。

4: Great Changes in My Hometown

Great changes have taken place in my hometown in the past ten years.

Several years ago,my hometown was a small and poor village,which was difficult for villagers to make a living.Therefore,most young people travelled far to big cities to find jobs, with seniors and children left at home. Besides, with inconvenient transportation and no modern facilities. life here was dull and uncomfortable.

 However, with the economic development and the improvement of people's living standards,my hometown has taken on a brand new look. First of all, compared to limited choices on daily diets ten years ago, more and more nutritious foods have been introduced to people's diet. What's more, there are many factories around my hometown, so young adults are moving back to work and accompany their family at the same time. Besides, in terms of the transportation, private cars can be seen everywhere. And now it is easy and convenient for us to do all kinds of activities, including going shopping, watching movies and gong to concerts. which makes our life colourful and thrilling.

    As far as I am concerned,I really enjoy and appreciate the life at present and I do believe my hometown will be better and better.  

4.我家乡的巨大变化

在过去十年里，我的家乡发生了巨大的变化。

几年前，我的家乡是一个贫穷的小乡村，村民们很难谋生。因此，大多数年轻人远赴大城市找工作，老人和孩子留守在家。此外，由于交通不便，也没有现代化的设施，这里的生活单调且不舒适。

然而，随着经济的发展和人民生活水平的提高，我的家乡面貌焕然一新。首先，与十年前有限的日常饮食选择相比，越来越多的营养食品被引入到人们的饮食中。更重要的是，我的家乡周围有很多工厂，因此年轻人都回来工作，同时陪伴家人。此外，在交通方面，私家车随处可见。现在我们做各种各样的活动，包括逛街、看电影、听音乐会，都很容易且方便，这使我们的生活丰富多彩，令人兴奋。

就我而言，我真的很享受也很感激现在的生活，我相信我的家乡会越来越好。

5: Online Course

Recently, due to the COVID-19, online course has become a heated topic at the moment. Different people hold different attitudes towards online course. Just as a saying goes, every coin has two sides, and this is no exception.

For some, online course has become a trend. They are in favour of it for the reason that students can follow the teachers to keep their learning going and they may be interested in this new way of learning. Meantime, with the videos saved in the computer, students can review what they have learned at any time, which helps students make a reasonable schedule according to their ability and time. What's more, studying at home helps cultivate self-discipline.

However, for others, many students may play games while studying and waste their precious time.It is possible that students become addicted to phones, which has a severe impact on their study. What's worse, too much screen time does great harm to students' eyes.

From my point of view, we should make good use of online course to help us study and reduce the drawbacks to the minimum by setting limitations and enhancing teacher-student communication. It's an opportunity for us to brave the storm together and see our efforts pay off in time.

5.网课

最近，由于新型冠状病毒肺炎的出现，网课成了当前的热门话题。不同的人对网课持有不同的态度。俗话说，任何事物都有两面性，这也不例外。

对一些人来说，网课已经成为一种趋势。他们之所以赞成，是因为学生可以跟着老师继续学习，他们可能对这种新的学习方式感兴趣。同时，通过将视频保存在电脑中，学生可以随时复习所学的内容，这有助于学生根据自己的能力和时间合理安排学习计划。而且在家学习有助于培养学生的自律能力。

然而，对另一些人来说，很多学生在学习的时候可能会玩游戏，浪费他们宝贵的时间。学生有可能会对手机上瘾，这对他们的学习造成了严重的影响。更糟糕的是，过多的屏幕时间对学生的眼睛有很大的伤害。

在我看来，我们应该充分利用网课来帮助我们学习，并通过设置限制和加强师生交流的方式，将缺点降到最低。这是一个机会，让我们一起勇敢面对风暴，看到我们的努力终究会得到回报。

6: School Bullying

A film called Better Days , which reflects the reality of school bullying, becomes a hit and raises concern of a large number of people. There is no doubt that school bullying imposes adverse impacts on those involved, which is of great harm to adolescents both physically and mentally. So severe is the situation that some victims even choose to commit suicide to escape from the reality. Under this circumstance, it is high time that the teachers as well as parents and people from all walks of life took responsibility to address the problem effectively. 

For teachers, they should take good care of the students, strengthen moral education and management, protect the privacy of the victims and have a heart-to-heart talk with them to help them out. For parents, they should place great emphasis on family education, helping their children develop self-protection skills. Meanwhile, they should show more concern about their children and spend some time with them to cultivate a pleasant and harmonious family environment. For society, efforts should be made to raise the public's awareness about the great harm of school bullying. Besides, related laws and regulations should be made to protect the safety of adolescents on campus. 

All in all, students should be given a safe and peaceful place to study. It is hoped that there will be an end of school bullying.

6. 校园欺凌

一部反映校园欺凌现实的电影《少年的你》走红，引起了很多人的关注。毫无疑问，校园欺凌会对当事人造成不利影响，这对青少年的身心都有很大的伤害。形势如此严峻，一些受害者甚至选择自杀来逃避现实。在这种情况下，是时候教师、家长和社会各界人士都承担起有效解决这一问题的责任。

对教师来说，他们应该照顾好学生，加强道德教育和管理，保护受害者的隐私，与他们谈心，帮助他们走出困境。对于父母来说，他们应该高度重视家庭教育，帮助他们的孩子发展自我保护技能。同时，要多关心孩子，多陪陪孩子，营造一个温馨和谐的家庭环境。对社会而言，应该努力提高公众对校园欺凌的巨大危害的认识。此外，还应制定相关的法律法规，保护青少年的校园安全。

总之，应该给学生一个安全、平静的学习场所。人们希望学校里的欺凌行为能够结束。

7: Plogging

It is widely acknowledged that protecting the environment has become a prevailing trend, but the reality is far from satisfaction. Meanwhile, with the development of economy, people are beginning to attach great importance to their health. Nowadays, an environmentally friendly activity---plogging---has gained popularity, which helps get into shape and conserve the environment at the same time.

So,what is plogging? As a matter of fact, it is a combination of picking and jogging, which means picking up trash while working out. Many people think highly of it because plogging benefits us a lot. It not only helps us keep physically and mentally healthy but also is of great significance to protect the environment and our homeland. People of all ages can participate in this kind of exercise, which can help get rid of garbage and make our neighbourhood clean and beautiful. More than that, what is the most important is that it makes the public aware of environmental issues and arouses their sense of responsibility. 

It is strongly suggested that everyone in the community should take an active part in the activity and making contributions to make our homeland a better place to live in. So why not take a trash bag next time when you go jogging? Don't hesitate to take actions,and we will make a difference.

7. 跑步捡垃圾

人们普遍认为，保护环境已成为一种普遍的趋势，但现实远远不能令人满意。同时，随着经济的发展，人们开始重视自身的健康。如今，一种环保的活动--跑步捡垃圾--流行起来，这有助于强身健体，同时还能保护环境。

那么，什么是跑步捡垃圾呢?事实上，它是捡垃圾和慢跑的结合，也就是说一边锻炼一边捡垃圾。很多人对它评价很高，因为跑步捡垃圾使我们受益良多。它不仅有助于我们保持身心健康，而且对保护环境和我们的家园具有重要意义。所有年龄段的人都可以参加这种运动，这有助于清理垃圾，使我们的社区又干净又美丽。除此之外，最重要的是让公众意识到环境问题，唤起他们的责任感。

强烈建议社区里的每一个人都积极参与这项活动，为使我们的家园成为一个更好的居住地作出贡献。所以下次慢跑的时候为什么不带个垃圾袋呢?不要犹豫采取行动，我们会有所作为的。

8: The Green Train

Currently, although the high-speed train is playing a dominant part, the green train brings back a  lot of unforgettable memories. The green train is a traditional nickname for old style trains, whose green carriages have left a deep impression on many people.

First and foremost, the green train, the ticket price of which is so cheap that every average person can afford it,brings great convenience to the residents alongside. It has a great influence on the travelling of the locals. Additionally, considering the needs of the natives along the railway line, fruit baskets are allowed to take on the train for sale in the era of the green train. Netizens rate the green train highly because it makes the lives of natives more colourful and provides a convenient way for them to connect to the world outside. 

Now the green train still exists and represents a part of Chinese history. The culture of the green train reflects not only the speed but also the warmth of China's development.To have an in-depth understanding of it as well as feel the warmth and charm of unique Chinese culture, it is genuinely hoped that those who are into the green train can have the chance to experience it in person.

8. 绿皮火车

目前，虽然高铁占据了主导地位，但绿皮火车带回了许多难忘的回忆。绿皮火车是老式火车的传统昵称，它的绿色车厢给很多人留下了深刻的印象。

首先，绿皮火车的票价非常便宜，每个普通人都能负担得起，它给旁边的居民带来了极大的便利。它对当地人的出行有很大的影响。此外，考虑到铁路沿线当地人的需要，在绿皮火车时代，允许果篮带上火车出售。网民对绿皮火车评价很高，因为它让当地人的生活更加丰富多彩，为他们与外界联系提供了便捷的途径。

现在绿皮火车依然存在，代表着中国历史的一部分。绿皮火车文化不仅体现了中国发展的速度，也体现了中国发展的温度。为了深入了解绿皮火车，并感受中国独特文化的温度与魅力，真心希望那些对绿皮火车感兴趣的人有机会亲身体验一下。

9: A Thank-you Note to Angels in White

In this epidemic, it is you, angels in white, who spare no effort to rescue those infected regardless of the lack of equipment and the potential of infection. It is you who give the public practical advice to stay at home to avoid being infected. It is you who sacrifice the opportunity to celebrate the Spring Festival with your family in order to help those in need. I would like to take this chance to extend my sincere gratitude to you for your endless efforts and devoted heart that you put on your patients in the battle against COVID-19.

It is widely acknowledged that COVID-19 spreads around the country at an amazing speed and results in enormous loss to humans. Despite this, you are determined to devote yourselves to fighting against the virus in the front line. Knowing how much harm the virus would cause, I'm quite worried about you. You set a good example to the whole world, which encourages more and more people to get involved in it.

As an old saying goes，“Where there's a will, there's a way." Thanks to your efforts and devotion, I'm firmly convinced that we will win the battle and overcome the hard time. Words fail to convey my appreciation for your sacrifice. You are heroes and we always believe in you. May you be healthy and blessed.

9. 致白衣天使的感谢信

在这场疫情中，是你们，白衣天使，不遗余力地抢救那些被感染者，不顾装备的缺乏和感染的可能性是你们给公众提供了切实可行的建议:待在家里避免被感染。是你们牺牲了与家人共度春节的机会，为了帮助那些需要帮助的人。我想借此机会向你们致以诚挚的谢意，感谢你们在抗击新型冠状病毒肺炎的战斗中为患者付出的不懈努力和奉献的心。

众所周知，新型冠状病毒肺炎以惊人的速度在全国各地传播，给人类造成了巨大的损失。尽管如此，你们还是下定决心，全身心投入到抗击病毒的第一线。因为知道这种病毒会造成多大的危害，我很担心你们。你们给全世界树立了一个很好的榜样，鼓励越来越多的人参与其中。

俗话说“有志者事竟成”。多亏了你们的努力和奉献，我坚信我们一定能打赢这场仗，战胜困难。言语无法表达我对你们所做的牺牲的感激之情。你们是英雄，我们一直信任你们。愿你们健康幸福。

10: Traditional Chinese Medicine

Owing to the epidemic, traditional Chinese medicine is brought to public attention with more and more people showing a keen interest in it. It has been introduced to many countries around the world. As we all know, traditional Chinese medicine is an essential part of Chinese culture. It plays an important role in the development of Chinese health care.

Traditional Chinese medicine is widely used in China and gaining global popularity. With a history of 2000 to 3000 years, traditional Chinese medicine is different from western medicine in its unique diagnostic methods, including observing，listening and smelling, inquiring and pulse taking. Acupuncture, a typical traditional Chinese medicine therapy, is accomplished by stimulating certain areas of the external body.

Traditional Chinese medicine has remarkable effects in treating various diseases, ranging from flu to cancers with few side effects. In fact, Chinese herbs contribute to getting rid of diseases and keeping the body in good condition. Above all, compared with the high cost of the western medicine, traditional Chinese medicine has a more reasonable price that is affordable to ordinary people.

In general , it is about time to support and promote the development of traditional Chinese medicine.

10. 中医

由于疫情，中医受到了公众的关注，越来越多的人对中医产生了浓厚的兴趣。它已被引入到世界许多国家。众所周知，中医是中华文化的重要组成部分。它对我国医疗卫生事业的发展起着重要作用。

中医在中国得到广泛应用，并在全球广受欢迎。中医有2000到3000年的历史，与西医不同的是，它有独特的诊断方法，包括望、听、闻、问、切。针灸是一种典型的中医疗法，通过刺激身体的某些部位来完成。

中医在治疗各种疾病上有显著的效果，从流感到癌症，几乎没有副作用。事实上，中草药有助于消除疾病，保持身体健康。最重要的是，与西医的高成本相比，中医的价格更为合理，普通人都能承受。

总的来说，是时候支持和促进中医的发展了。

11: Optional Courses

While most courses in senior high school are compulsory, there is a tendency that an increasing number of schools are beginning to offer their students some courses that are optional, such as gardening, calligraphy, ball games club and so on. Students have been given the chance to choose some courses according to their interest and time schedule.

Nevertheless, not everyone is totally in favour of this system. Because it is commonly believed that choosing courses at students' will means less time and effort are spent on their required courses, which directly results in their failing grades. 

In my opinion, senior high students should be permitted to choose courses at their own will, which is beneficial for their future development. In the first place, students who are given the freedom to choose what they are interested in will certainly commit themselves to their study and learn more efficiently. As an old saying goes, interest is the best teacher. What's more, they are forced to make a choice and arrange their time wisely, which is helpful for their adulthood. Furthermore, students are given a platform to participate in social activities to relax and make friends, which may in turn have a positive effect on their study. As a result, it is strongly advised that more optional courses should be set up for senior high students to choose, in addition to their required classes.

11. 选修课

虽然大多数高中课程都是必修课，但有一种趋势是，越来越多的学校开始为学生开设一些选修课，如园艺、书法、球类俱乐部等。学生们有机会根据自己的兴趣和时间安排选择一些课程来上。

然而，并不是所有人都完全赞成这一制度。因为人们普遍认为，根据学生的意愿选择课程意味着他们在必修课程上花费的时间和精力更少，这直接导致他们的成绩不及格。

在我看来，应该允许高中生自主选择课程，这对他们将来的发展是有益的。首先，学生可以自由选择自已感兴趣的东西的话，他们一定会致力于学习，并且是更高效地学习。俗话说，兴趣是最好的老师。更重要的是，他们被迫做出选择，合理地安排时间，这对他们的成年是有帮助的。此外，选修课给学生提供一个平台去参与社交活动来放松心情，交朋友，这可能会反过来对他们的学习产生积极的影响。因此，我们强烈建议在必修课之外，为高中生开设更多的选修课供他们选择。

12: A Visit to the Nursing Home

The most meaningful thing I did was that I went to a nursing home to do voluntary work during the Double Ninth Festival. Our school organised a voluntary activity, which called for senior high students to pay a visit to a nursing home to offer assistance. A group of volunteers appealed to the teachers and students to make donations, including second- hand clothes, daily necessities and money.

Getting everything ready, we went to the nursing home by bike. Upon arriving there, we started to clean the floor and help the elderly wash clothes, making sure their living environment was cozy. Besides, we wrapped dumplings with the elderly together for lunch, during which we chatted with the elderly. They felt happy and shared many wonderful stories with us. After that, we organised a splendid performance for the elderly, such as singing, dancing and story-telling, which provided indoor recreation for them. So absorbed were we in being with them that we didn't realise it was time for departure. We really enjoyed being with the elderly and we learned a lot from their experience through communication.

In a word, the activity was of great significance.The experience made me realise that old people need our care and we should spend more time staying with them. On the one hand, it enhanced our awareness of responsibility and enriched our spiritual life. On the other hand, it brought happiness and companionship to the elderly. It would be great to see more voluntary activities held to help those in need.

12. 敬老院之行

我做的最有意义的事就是在重阳节去敬老院做义工。我们学校组织了一个志愿活动，号召高中生到敬老院去提供帮助。一群志愿者呼吁师生捐赠，包括二手衣物、日用品和钱。

准备好一切，我们骑自行车去了敬老院。一到那里，我们就开始扫地，帮老人洗衣服，确保他们的生活环境舒适。此外，我们和老人一起包饺子当午饭吃，其间我们和老人聊天。他们很高兴，并与我们分享了许多精彩的故事。之后，我们为老年人组织了一场精彩的表演，如唱歌、跳舞和讲故事，为他们提供室内娱乐。我们是如此的全神贯注地与他们在一起，以至于没有意识到是时候离开了。我们非常享受和老人在一起的时光，通过交流我们从他们的经历中学到了很多。

总之，这次活动意义重大。这次经历使我意识到老年人需要我们的照顾，我们应该花更多的时间陪伴他们。一方面，它增强了我们的责任意识，丰富了我们的精神生活。另一方面，它给老年人带来了幸福和陪伴。如果能有更多的志愿活动来帮助那些需要帮助的人，那就太好了。

13: Study Abroad

There is no denying the fact that more and more people choose to study abroad after graduation, in spite of many hardships and difficulties. Studying overseas has a great many advantages. 

Firstly, by living and studying in a foreign country, one can encounter different people from different cultures. It is a golden opportunity for them to make friends and broaden their horizons. At the same time, they have to use the language in their daily life so their second language skills will be improved at an amazing rate. In addition, studying abroad offers students a chance to get acquainted with advanced science and technology and entirely new ideas.

Whereas, as an old saying goes, every coin has two sides. Students will be confronted with a series of hardships and difficulties while studying overseas. For one thing, students may constantly meet with troubles due to their incompetence in the language spoken there and lack of knowledge about the local customs and ways of life. Consequently, culture shock and misunderstanding often arise. For another, with high living costs and tuition, it costs a lot to study abroad, which means they have to find a part-time job to support themselves. Faced with so many difficulties, they may find it hard to focus on their study. As a result，given an opportunity to go abroad for study, one must take both benefits and troubles into consideration. By and large, it is not a bad idea to go and study abroad.

13. 出国留学

不可否认的是，尽管有许多艰难困苦，越来越多的人毕业后选择出国留学。出国留学有很多好处

首先，一个人在国外生活和学习可以遇到来自不同文化的不同的人。这是他们结交朋友、开阔视野的绝佳机会。同时，他们必须在日常生活中使用这种语言，这样他们的第二语言技能就会以惊人的速度提高。此外，出国留学还为学生提供了一个了解先进科学技术和全新理念的机会。

然而，俗话说，凡事有利必有弊。留学生在海外学习时会遇到一系列困难。一方面，因为学生不精通当地所说的语言，缺乏对当地风俗习惯和生活方式的了解，他们可能会经常遇到麻烦。因此，文化冲击和误解经常出现。另一方面，由于高昂的生活消费和学费，出国留学要花很多钱，这意味着留学生不得不找一份兼职工作来养活自己。面对如此多的困难，他们可能会发现很难集中精力学习。因此，有出国留学的机会的话，你必须既要考虑好处，也要考虑麻烦。总的来说，出国留学不是个坏主意。

14: Social Practice

Nowadays,participating in social practice is a must for senior high students to be admitted to universities. In order to improve senior high students' overall quality and help them get prepared for future study, great importance should be attached to social practice. Students  are encouraged to get involved in social practice during the holidays by being a volunteer or getting a part-time job, from which students can gain a lot more than their textbooks.

Above all, social practice provides a platform for students to connect to the real world outside the campus. They can learn to deal with the problems in a practical way using what they have learned from the books. Associating their study with practice can assist them in getting a better command of their knowledge. Moreover, social practice, from which hey can obtain valuable experience and insight, is beneficial for their future career. Students who take an active part in social practice are more likely to stand out and win the affection of the employers to get a job offer. On top of that, their participation in social practice may cultivate their awareness of responsibility. It helps them to see the world from a different perspective so that they will have a better understanding of what work is and how they should be responsible for it.

Taking the above into account, it is necessarily important for senior high students to participate in social practice, regardless of the fact that they may break the balance between their work and study. In my view, taking part in social practice in their spare time is one of the most effective ways to improve their abilities and skills, which will benefit them all through their life.

14. 社会实践

如今，参加社会实践对高中生被大学录取来说是必须的条件。为了提高高中生的综合素质，帮助他们为将来的学习做好准备，必须重视社会实践活动。我们鼓励学生在假期里参加社会实践活动，做志愿者或找份兼职，这样学生可以得到比课本上多得多的收获。

最重要的是，社会实践为学生提供了一个与校外的现实世界相联系的平台。他们可以学会用从书本中学到的知识来实际处理问题。把学习和实践联系起来可以帮助他们更好地掌握自己的知识。此外，学生可以从社会实践中获得宝贵的经验和洞察力，这将有助于他们将来的职业生涯。积极参加社会实践的学生更有可能脱颖而出，赢得老板的喜爱，从而获得工作机会。除此之外，参加社会实践可以培养他们的责任意识。这有助于他们从不同的角度看待世界，这样他们就能更好地理解什么是工作，以及他们应该如何对工作负责。

综上所述，高中生参加社会实践活动必然很重要。尽管他们可能会打破工作和学习之间的平衡。在我看来，在业余时间参加社会实践活动是提高他们能力和技能的最有效的途径之一，这将使他们终生受益。

15: Learn to Be Thrifty

A survey conducted in recent years shows that the amount of daily expense of senior high students has been on the rise. They have no idea of thrift in their mind. They take it for granted that their requirements should be met by their parents and they should get whatever they want before they grow up into an adult.

There are several factors accounting for their extravagant spending habits. First and foremost, most of the students are the only child of their family because of the family planning policy. And they are the apples of their families' eyes. Thus, they naturally get their wishes and unconditional love.Extra pocket money is given to them to guarantee their school life is comfortable and healthy, which directly results in their extravagant spending. In addition, with the development of economy, the living standards have been greatly improved. It is possible that more money is spent on unnecessary things. Gradually,students form the habit to buy things they want to keep closely up with fashion and satisfy their vanity, regardless of the price. Their demand is ranging from different styles of shoes the latest phone model. They think they can show off before their classmates so that it will help them get more attention. Finally, playing games is also a possible factor because students may spend a large amount of money purchasing outfit to level up. 

From my point of view, a senior high student should learn to be thrifty. There are many ways we can live more frugally, including spending less on daily necessities and being more conscious of what we buy. Learning to be thrifty and spend money wisely can be helpful for senior high students to develop right values, which is favourable to their future development.

15. 学会节俭

近年来开展的一项调查显示，高中生的日常开支一直呈上升趋势。他们心中没有节俭的概念。他们想当然地认为父母应该满足他们的要求，在他们长大成人之前，他们应该得到他们想要的一切。

他们的奢侈消费的习惯有几个原因。首先，由于计划生育政策，大多数学生是他们家的独生子女。他们是他们家的掌上明珠。因此，他们自然会得到他们想要的东西和无条件的爱。给他们额外的零花钱是为了保证他们的学校生活是舒适而健康的，这直接导致了他们的奢侈消费。此外，随着经济的发展，生活水平有了很大提高。有可能更多的钱被花在了不必要的事物上。渐渐地，学生们养成了买他们想要的东西而不考虑价格的习惯，为的是紧跟时尚潮流，满足自己的虚荣心。他们的需求从不同款式的鞋子到最新型号的手机。他们认为他们可以在同学面前炫耀，这样可以帮助他们获得更多的关注。最后，玩游戏也是一个可能的因素，因为学生们可能会花大量的钱购买装备来升级。

为在我看来，一个高中生应该学会节俭。有很多方法可以让我们生活得更节俭、包括减少日用品的支出，知道真正需要购买的东西。学会节俭和合理花钱有助于高中生树立正确的价值观，这有利于他们未来自发展。

16: Live a Low-carbon Life

In recent years, with the environment becoming worse and worse, a considerable number of people have chosen to live a low-carbon life. Not only does it arise from the promotion of the government,but also results from the public's awareness of environmental protection. 

Leading a low-carbon life can be of great benefit to us and our society. To begin with, there is no doubt that a low-carbon life can save energy and cut back on pollution, which is a head start to preserve the environment to a large extent and relieve the effect that climate change has on us. Besides, low-carbon lifestyle can cut down the release of carbon dioxide which contributes greatly to the greenhouse effect.

As a result, we are supposed to shoulder the responsibility to live a low-carbon life. First of all, travelling by public transportation is a great idea and effective way to reduce the carbon emission and energy waste. When we go out, we could choose to take an underground or a bus instead of driving a car. Riding a bike to school is beneficial to both the environment and our well-being.   What's more, let's start with small things, such as saving electricity by pulling out the plug when it is out of use, saving water by turning off the tap in time and saving paper by reusing it. In addition, when we go shopping, we can take recyclable bags instead of using plastic bags, which are a main source of pollution because they are hard to break down. Finally, we can seek chances to plant trees,which can absorb carbon dioxide and give out oxygen.

In brief, what should be advocated is that we should live a low-carbon life and take actions to conserve the environment.

16. 过低碳生活

近年来，随着环境的日益恶化，相当一部分人选择了低碳生活。这不仅源于政府的推广，而且也源于公众的环保意识。

过低碳生活对我们和社会都有很大的好处。首先，毫无疑问，低碳生活可以节约能源，减少污染，这在很大程度上对于保护环境和缓解气候变化对我们的影响来说是一个良好的开始。此外，低碳的生活方式可以减少二氧化碳的排放，二氧化碳对温室效应有很大贡献。

因此，我们应该承担起低碳生活的责任。首先，乘坐公共交通工具是减少碳排放和能源浪费的好主意和有效的途径。当我们外出时，我们可以选择乘地铁或公共汽车而不是开车。  骑自行车上学对环境和我们的健康都有好处。更重要的是，让我们从小事做起，比如节约用电，插头不用时婴拔掉;节约用水，及时关掉水龙头;还有节约用纸，重复使用纸张。此外，当我们去购物时，我们可以用回收袋代替塑料袋，塑料袋是污染的主要来源，因为它们很难分解。最后，我们可以寻找机会植树，树木可以吸收二氧化碳并释放氧气。

简而言之，我们应该提倡的是过低碳生活，采取行动保护环境。

17：My Dream

Everyone has his dreams. Some people want to make a fortune so that they can get whatever they want. Some people want to travel around the world so that they can experience new things and enjoy the beauty of the world. Others want to be scientists so that they can make great contributions to society. I am no exception. When I was a child, I dreamed of becoming a kung fu star like Jackie Chan in the future.

In order to make my dream a reality, I took an active part in a variety of activities including singing,dancing, gymnastics as well as martial arts. With time going by, I realised that it was a bit difficult for me to achieve my dream. Thus, I reflected on what I was really interested in. And now, my dream seems to be more realistic and I want to be a teacher who passes knowledge to the students and guides them to live a better life. 

However, I am sure that it takes great efforts to make my dream come true. So I learn as much as I can from my teachers and textbooks. I make full use of my spare time to read different kinds of books to obtain more knowledge. During weekends and holidays, I worked as a tutor to apply what I've learned into practice. From now on, I have to work hard to be admitted to my ideal university to attain my goal. While I am bound to meet with difficulties, I will get them over rather than quit my dream. 

I believe my dream will definitely come true because there is an old saying that goes,“Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.” The path to becoming a teacher is still far ahead, but I am working toward it with a will.

17. 我的梦想

每个人都有自己的梦想。有些人想发财，这样他们就可以得到他们想要的任何东西。有些人想周游世界，这样他们就可以体验新事物，欣赏世界的美丽。另一些人想成为科学家，以便对社会做出巨大贡献。我也不例外。当我还是个孩子的时候，我梦想将来成为像成龙一样的功夫明星。

为了实现梦想，我积极参加各种活动，包括唱歌、跳舞、体操和武术。随着时间的推移，我意识到实现这个梦想对我来说有点儿困难。因此，我反思了我真正感兴趣的东西。现在，我的梦想似乎更现实了，我想成为一名老师，把知识传授给学生，引导他们过上更好的生活。

然而，我相信实现我的梦想需要付出很大的努力。所以我尽可能多地向老师和书本学习。我充分利用业余时间阅读各种各样的书籍来获取更多知识。在周末和假期，我做家教，把学到的东西应用到实践中去。从现在起，我必须努力学习，考上理想的大学，以达到我的目标。虽然我一定会遇到困难，但我会克服困难而不是放弃我的梦想。

我相信我的梦想一定会实现的，因为俗话说:“有志者事竞成。”成为一名教师的道路仍然遥遇无期，但我正怀者坚定的意志朝着这个目标努力。

18: Protect the Intangible Cultural Heritage

It is known to all that intangible cultural heritage plays a crucial part in a nation's culture and civilisation. But with the development of modernisation and globalisation, more and more intangible cultural heritages are at great risk of extinction. Consequently, great emphasis should be laid on protecting intangible cultural heritage.

Most young people do not know what intangible cultural heritage is. Intangible cultural heritage is cultural treasures handed down from generation to generation, including traditional festivals, arts and crafts, practices, performances and so on. Take the Spring Festival and paper cutting for example. They have been recognised as intangible cultural heritages by the UNESCO and enjoyed great popularity all over the world.

However, many young people lose their interest in intangible cultural heritage, which poses enormous threats to it. So it is high time that gradual attention should be paid to the preservation and inheritance of intangible cultural heritage. First of all, classes on intangible cultural heritage and traditional Chinese culture should be introduced to schools at all levels. Intangible cultural heritage inheritors can be invited to school to enhance students' understanding of it and students can also walk out of the campus to experience intangible cultural heritage personally. Only in this way can we arise student s’ awareness of protecting it. Second, in order to inherit and conserve intangible cultural heritage, legal protection system is an indispensable approach. Last but not least, the nation should guide the public to adopt the right attitude towards the acceptance of foreign culture. 

I believe that with joint efforts, intangible cultural heritage and traditional Chinese culture will surely be better inherited and innovated.

18. 保护非物质文化遗产

众所周知，非物质文化遗产在一个国家的文化和文明中起着至关重要的作用。但随着现代化和全球化的发展，越来越多的非物质文化遗产面临着灭绝的危险。因此，(我们)应该高度重视非物质文化遗产的保护。

大多数年轻人不知道什么是非物质文化遗产。非物质文化遗产是世代相传的文化瑰宝，包括传统节日、手工艺、习俗、表演等等。以春节和剪纸为例。它们被联合国教科文组织认定为非物质文化遗产，在世界各地享有盛誉。

然而，许多年轻人对非物质文化遗产失去了兴趣，这对其构成了巨大的威胁。因此，是时候逐步重视对非物质文化遗产的保护和传承了。首先，在各级学校开设有关非物质文化遗产和中国传统文化的课程。可以邀请非物质文化遗产传承人来学校，增进学生对非物质文化遗产的了解，学生也可以走出校园，亲身体验物质文化遗产。只有这样，我们才能提高学生的保护意识。第二，为了传承和保护非物质文化遗产，法律保护体系是不可或缺的途径。最后但同样重要的是，国家应该引导公众对接受外来文化采取正确的态度。

我相信，在大家的共同努力下，非物质文化遗产和中国传统文化一定会得到更好的继承和创新。

19: The Meaning of Life

Different people hold different views on the meaning of life. The question of the meaning of life is what we have all asked during the course of our development and growth. This is a question to which there is no model answer. As for me, I am deeply impressed by what the great psychologist Victor Frankl said,“The meaning of life is to give life meaning."

As a student, what can I do to give life meaning? School comes first for me since l get to understand the world through what I learn on and off campus. I give my life meaning by working hard and getting satisfying grades to live up to my parents' and teachers' expectations. I really enjoy the process of searching for new knowledge, through which I grow up and learn to think on my own. At the same time, I find meaning in working out regularly or hanging out with my friends at leisure time. On the one hand, I benefit a lot from playing sports, which keeps me in good shape and gives me strength to live my life to the fullest. On the other hand, having a close friend to share my happiness and sorrow is what I cherish most. I can give meaning to my life by simply doing something together with those I treasure.

 Life is so short that I have to live it bravely, and I'll keep giving meaning with my sincere love.It is love that gives life meaning. It is love that makes life worth living.

19. 生命的意义

不同的人对生命的意义有不同的看法。有关生命的意义这个问题是我们在发展和成长过程中都在问的问题。这是一个没有标准答案的问题。对我来说，伟大的心理学家维克托·弗兰克尔说过的话“生命的意义在于赋予生命意义”给我留下了深刻的印象。

作为一名学生，我能做些什么来赋予生命意义呢?学业对我来说是第一位的，因为我通过在校内外学到的东西来了解世界。我努力学习，取得满意的成绩，不辜负父母和老师的期望，这让我的人生有了意义。我真的很享受寻找新知识的过程，通过这个过程我长大了，学会了独立思考。同时，我发现了有规律地锻炼身体或者和朋友们在闲暇时一起出去玩的意义。一方面，我从运动中受益匪浅，这使我保持了良好的体型，并给了我力量尽情地生活。另一方面，有一个亲密的朋友分享我的快乐和悲伤是我最珍惜的。只要和我重视的人一起做一些事情，我就觉得我的生命有意义。

生命如此短暂，我必须勇敢地活着，我会用我真诚的爱赋予生命意义。是爱赋予生命意义。是爱使生命有价值。

20：Help the Victims of Natural Disasters

Normally, natural disasters, such as earthquakes,flood, drought, tsunami and landslide, undoubtedly cause severe damage, which may exert an adverse impact on many people.

The government and social organisations should actively organise timely rescue and relief to deal with emergencies and disasters. Food, clothes, tents, daily necessities and emergency personnel such as doctors, nurses, and technicians should be delivered to the disaster-stricken area as soon as possible.

What we, ordinary people, can do is to extend our help and care to those unfortunate victims. We can make donations to help those in great need. We can express our sincere prayers and warm wishes to the victims through the Internet. We can post inspiring words on social media to convey our confidence to get through tough times together. But it is not enough. A far more important way is providing psychological support and comfort. In addition to their financial and physical losses, close attention should be paid to those who suffer from psychological trauma in natural disasters.   We can help relieve their pain and sadness by simply sitting next to them, listening patiently to their cry for the loss of their homes and loved ones. As an average person, when faced with natural disasters, what we can do is to keep the victims company silently and take care of them whole-heartedly so that they can adapt themselves to the new life after disasters.

All in all, we should work together to pull through and conquer natural disasters.

20. 帮助自然灾害的受害者

通常情况下，地震、洪涝、旱灾、海啸和山体滑坡等自然灾害无疑会造成严重损害，可能对许多人造成不利影响。

政府和社会组织要积极组织及时救援和救济，应对突发事件和灾害。食物、衣物、帐篷、日用品和医生、护士、技术人员等急救人员应尽快送到灾区。

我们普通人所能做的就是向那些不幸的受害者提供帮助和关心。我们可以捐款帮助那些极需帮助的人。我们可以通过网络向受害者表达我们诚挚的祈祷和温暖的祝愿。我们可以在社交媒体上发表鼓舞人心的话来表达我们共度难关的信心。但这还不够。更重要的是提供心理支持和安慰。除经济损失和身体损伤外，还应密切关注在自然灾害中遭受心理创伤的人。我们只要坐在他们旁边，耐心地倾听他们为失去家园和亲人而哭泣，就可以帮助他们减轻痛苦和悲伤。作为一个普通人，面对自然灾害时，我们能做的就是默默陪伴灾民，全心全意地照顾他们，以便他们能适应灾后的新生活。

总之，我们应该共同努力，渡过难关，战胜自然灾害。

21: My Dormitory Life

When I went to my senior high school, I had to live in the dormitory because it was so far away from my home. When talking about my dormitory life, I have many unforgettable memories. 

At first, we created a few “masterpieces" in the first year. Eight of us shared a room and none of us was willing to clean the floor, so the floor changed from bright white into dark gray. And so often were we invited to the teacher's office that all of us gained a notorious reputation. Worse still, our dormitory turned into heaven for the living creatures such as rats. They would take the trouble to help us deal with the garbage that piled up in the dormitory. In addition, everyone in the dormitory had his own opinion and personality, which led to some heated arguments.

However, we really changed a lot during the second year. We learnt a lesson from the dormitory life that we had to take good care of ourselves as well as the dormitory. In order to have a good sleep and commit ourselves to study, we learnt to get rid of our bad habits. We began to take turns to clean the floor and empty the garbage can. Most importantly，we did make some progress step by step. We learnt to show respect for and put up with each other and we all became good friends.

Finally, we were reluctant to say goodbye to our lovely dormitory and our beloved roommates. We really enjoy the precious time we spend together.

21.我的宿舍生活

当我上高中的时候，我不得不住宿舍，因为学校离我家太远了。当谈到我的宿舍生活时，我有许多难忘的回忆。

一开始，我们在第一年就创作了一些“杰作”。我们八个人同住一个房间，没有人愿意打扫地板，因此地板从亮白色变成了深灰色。我们经常被请到老师的办公室，以至于我们都声名狼藉。更糟糕的是，我们的宿舍变成了老鼠等生物的天堂。它们会不厌其烦地帮助我们处理堆积在宿舍里的垃圾。另外，宿舍里的每个人都有自己的见解和个性，这引发了一些激烈的争吵。

然而，在第二年我们真的改变了很多。我们从宿舍生活中学到了一个教训:我们不仅要打理好宿舍，还要照顾好自己。为了睡个好觉，专心学习，我们学会了改掉坏习惯。我们开始轮流打扫地板和倒垃圾桶。最重要的是，我们确实逐渐取得了一些进步。我们学会了互相尊重和容忍，我们都成了好朋友。

最后，我们不情愿地告别我们可爱的宿舍和亲爱的室友。我们真的很享受在一起度过的宝贵时光。

22: How to Arrange the Time for Study

As a senior high student, one must bear in mind that time is of great significance and that lost time will never come back. Therefore, it is important for a student to arrange the time reasonably. Here are some tips for one to take full advantage of his or her time. 

To begin with, making a plan is an effective approach to help one allocate the time appropriately. List all the assignments in order and finish them according to their deadline. One should know what should be given top priority, which assists him or her in saving as much time as possible. Besides. one had better get organised to be free of the mess. Don't be disturbed by others. Everyone had his or her own learning style. Following in the footsteps of others blindly will merely mess up your work. At last, as is known to all, being a student, one has to concentrate on his or her study. But don't overdo it. As an old saying goes, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” As a result, it is equally important for a student to build breaks into his or her schedule. One should spare some time to have a good rest, for instance, walking around the corridor to relax the eyes or taking part in some meaningful activities, such as playing sports, to get refreshed.

All in all, a student is supposed to find his or her own way to adapt to the school life and arrange the time effectively.

22. 如何安排学习时间

作为一名高中生，必须牢记时间的重要性，失去的时间永远不会回来。因此，合理安排时间对学生来说很重要。以下是一些建议，让一个人充分利用自己的时间。

首先，制订计划是帮助一个人合理分配时间的有效方法。把所有作业按顺序列出，并根据截止日期去完成它们。一个人应该知道什么是最重要的，这有助于他或她节省尽可能多的时间。另外，一个人最好有条理，以避免混乱。不要被别人干扰。每个人都有自己的学习风格。盲目地效仿别人只会把你的学业搞得一团糟。最后，众所周知，作为一名学生，一个人必须集中精力学习。但不要过度。正如一句老话所说:“只工作不玩耍，聪明的孩子也变傻。”因此，对学生来说，在自己的时间表中安排休息时间同样重要。一个人应该腾出一些时间好好休息，例如，绕着走廊散步来放松眼睛，或者参加一些有意义的活动来提神，比如运动。

总之，学生应该找到自己的方式来适应学校生活，并有效地安排时间。

23: Fast Food

Owing to the fast pace of modern society, there is a boom in fast food, which catches on among children and young people. When it comes to fast food, different people hold different attitudes. Some hold the view that it is an indispensable part in our society, while others argue that it does great harm to our health.

For one thing, compared with homemade food, it is less nutritious and healthy. However, there are several reasons accounting for its popularity. First, what is the most important is that it helps us save time when we are in a hurry. We can get our food ready in a minute when going to a fast food restaurant instead of waiting in a long line for the food to be prepared and served in a traditional restaurant. In addition, apart from its convenience, inexpensive price, various choices and excellent service also contribute to its popularity.

For another, eating too much fast food is harmful to our health. In the first place, fast food is low in nutrition, which is a must for the growth of children. What they need is a balanced diet. What's worse, a study carried out by a group of researchers shows that fast food contains more salt and fat than we actually need, which causes overweight and heart attack. So it is suggested by doctors that we should avoid eating too much fast food. Besides, eating fast food once or twice a week may be affordable, but doing this most days adds up. 

In conclusion, in spite of its convenience and taste, we should limit our intake of fast food for the sake of our wallet and health.

23. 快餐

由于现代社会的快节奏，快餐业迅速发展，在儿童和年轻人中流行起来。说到快餐，不同的人持有不同的态度。有些人认为它是我们社会中不可缺少的一部分，而另一些人则认为它对我们的健康危害很大。

一方面，与家庭自制食品相比，快餐缺乏营养和健康。然而，有几个原因可以解释它的流行。首先，也是最重要的是，在我们忙碌的时候，它能帮助我们节省时间。当我们去快餐店时，我们可以立刻得到准备好的食物，而不是在传统的餐馆里排长队等待食物的准备和供应。此外，它除了方便外，价格低廉、选择多样、服务优质也有助于它的普及。

另一方面，吃太多快餐对我们的健康有害。首先，快餐的营养价值很低。营养是孩子们成长所必需的。他们需要的是均衡的饮食。更糟糕的是，一组研究人员进行的一项研究显示，快餐中所含的盐和脂肪比我们实际需要的更多，这会导致超重和心脏病。所以医生建议我们应该避免吃太多的快餐。另外，一周吃一到两次快餐可能是可以负担得起的，但是大多数时候这样做开支就会增大。

总之，尽管快餐很方便，味道也不错，但为了我们的钱包和健康着想，我们应该控制吃快餐的频率。

24:Space Exploration

As we may see on TV or in the newspaper, tremendous advances have been made in space exploration. At the same time, a large amount of money has been spent in exploring outer space, which helps improve a nation's international status as well as promote the development of science and technology.

However, not everyone is in favour of this idea. From their point of view, it is a waste of money and resources to explore the space. Some people argue that more money should go to the expense of meeting our basic needs on earth. Other people hold that exploring the space may cause damage to the space and planet, which may in turn lead to the complete devastation of the earth. Still others think that government should focus on addressing the common problems that the earth suffers from, including famine, deadly diseases and natural disasters.

Frankly speaking, despite its drawbacks and potential risks, we have to admit that we have benefited a lot from space exploration. On the one hand, satellites sent to outer space provides us with great convenience, such as communication, weather forecast, satellite television, GPS,etc. On the other hand, a wide variety of experiments have been conducted in outer space to improve the quality of human life. It is hoped that scientists may come up with solutions to seemingly impossible problems in the future. 

In short, space exploration offers us an insight into the mysterious universe and it's also a show of national strength. 

24. 太空探索

正如我们在电视或报纸上看到的，太空探索已经取得了巨大的进步。同时，在探索外太空方面投人了大量的资金，这有助于提高一个国家的国际地位，促进科学技术的发展。

然而，并不是每个人都赞成这种观点。在他们看来，探索太空是浪费金钱和资源。有些人认为，更多的钱应该用来满足我们在地球上的基本需求。另一些人认为，探索太空可能会对太空和地球造成损害，进而导致地球的彻底毁灭。还有一些人认为，政府应该集中精力解决地球所面临的共同问题，包括饥荒、致命的疾病和自然灾害。

坦率地说，尽管它有缺点和潜在的风险，但我们不得不承认，我们从太空探索中受益匪浅。一方面，发送到外太空的卫星为我们提供了极大的便利，如通信、天气预报、卫星电视、全球定位系统等;另一方面，在外太空进行了各种各样的实验，以提高人类的生活质量。人们希望科学家们将来能想出办法解决看似不可能解决的问题。

简而言之，太空探索让我们洞悉了神秘的宇宙，也是国家实力的展示。

25:Chinese Culture

With more and more foreigners interested in learning mandarin and more and more Confucius institutes being built across the world, it is a symbol that Chinese culture enjoys a great prestige globally. With a long history, the ancient Chinese culture had a profound impact on  many eastern and western countries.

Take paper cutting for example. Dating back to the Eastern Han Dynasty, paper cutting is one of the most popular traditional folk arts. Paper cutting has presented multiple social values in cognition, amusement and communication and it was listed in the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage Lists in 2009. It can be seen in many important occasions，particularly in the Spring Festival and the wedding ceremony. It is used mainly as decorations to create a festive atmosphere. It is widely believed in China that red paper cuts can bring good luck and best wishes to the whole family. You won't find paper cutting difficult as long as you keep practicing it. The main material and tools include paper and scissors or a knife. But it does take time to master it with perfection. Paper cutting features a wide range of subjects, so one can create whatever he or she has in mind.

If one wants to have a better understanding of colourful and prosperous Chinese culture, it is advised that he or she should pay a visit to China to explore and experience it in person. 

25. 中国文化

随着越来越多的外国人对学习普通话感兴趣，越来越多的孔子学院在世界各地兴建，这标志着中国文化在全球享有盛誉。中国古代文化源远流长，对东西方许多国家产生了深远的影响。

以剪纸为例。剪纸可以追溯到东汉时期，是最受欢迎的传统民间艺术之一。剪纸在认知、娱乐、交流等方面具有多重社会价值，它在2009年被联合国教科文组织列人非物质文化遗产名录。在许多重要的场合，尤其是在春节和婚礼上可以看到剪纸。它主要用作装饰，营造节日气氛。在中国，人们普遍认为红色剪纸能给全家带来好运和祝愿。只要你坚持练习，你就不会觉得剪纸很难。主要材料和工具包括纸、剪刀或小刀。但完美地掌握它确实需要时间。剪纸的特点是题材广泛，所以人们可以随心所欲地创作。

如果一个人想更好地了解丰富多彩的中国文化，建议他或她亲自到中国来探索和体验。
