The school is also surrounded by flowers and trees, in such a beautiful environment, to create a school of everyone's incomparable joy. In the morning, we began to dance in the second class, and the students heard the beautiful music and danced together. In that neat line, everyone smiled sweetly. At that moment, the whole playground became a sea of joy. We are also very happy when we have music class. The teacher led us to sing and dance, and the students learned very happy and happy. There is our extracurricular activities, we are happy to cheer, jumping, came to the playground. Some play yo-yo, some play jump rope, and some play football. Everyone had a great time.

"I was very reluctant to get up:" Clearly it is still winter, that spring ah." Mom smiled and said, "You really didn't notice? Let's go and look for spring." After breakfast, my mother and I went to Goose Ling Park. I looked at the park inside, cold and clear several visitors wearing thick winter clothes. I said to my mother: "Such a cold day, there are few people, what is the spring?" Mother said: "Although it is cold, but it is the beginning of spring, as long as you actively observe, you will find." Suddenly, I found a few small yellow flowers in a cluster of low dark green leaves, the flowers are very small, four or five single-layer petals simple, but very bright color. Smell carefully, there is a faint fragrance, in the dark green. The middle of the blade is particularly striking. Mother said: "This is called winter jasmine, see this flower, you know that spring has come." I just found that there are a lot of winter jasmine on the grass, bright yellow flowers add a lot of vitality here, a lot of spring. Ah, spring is all around us. The smell of the grass, the gorgeous flowers, the cheerful ducks, and the crisp singing of birds, are not the portrayal of spring?Today, the weather is sunny, my mother and I came to Zhonglun Park, outside the gate of Zhonglun Park, there is a round arch woven by flowers, red and green interwoven, what a strong visual impact ah!

Friday evening
Friday evening, the sun will set from the west, the wind like a mother with the gentle harvest stroked every grass, every flower, and every leaf. Little grass brother, sister of flowers, and brother of leaves with the gentle hand of the wind mother, as if waving goodbye to the sun. Because tomorrow is Saturday, the teacher asked us to do some cleaning, I also divided into a group with my best friend, I was so excited. When I came to school the next day, I wanted to clean the blackboard with him first, so I picked up a piece of cloth, and I turned my head to find that he was very unhappy, his mouth was pursed, and there was no light in his eyes. I don't know why he's acting like this. He's not happy at all. Then he and I went to the bathroom to wash the cloth, and then came back to the classroom to clean the blackboard. When I looked at him, he was still so unhappy. So I wipe the blackboard full of chalk, while thinking: what is wrong with him, is he not want to clean it, but once I heard the teacher said to clean it, he was very happy, but what happened to him today? We soon finished wiping the blackboard, and then we picked up the mop and began to mop the floor, while I was mopping the floor, I asked him why he was so unhappy, but he said nothing, still remained silent, still silent. I said: "We are not good friends, you ask me anything I will say, but you... .. ... "We finished the floor, want to sweep the floor, and then we picked up the broom, a row of seriously really swept up the floor, even a little rubber foam did not let go. And as he swept the floor and wept, he said, "My mother hit me yesterday." We swept the floor quickly. So, we quickly finished the cleaning. Oh, really, what happened? His mother beat him. I was afraid that he would be sad again, so I did not ask him again.This Friday afternoon, Mr. Deng said to clean, the man with a broom, the woman with a bucket and a rag, Mr. Deng asked us know? Our whole class unanimously shouted: "I know." At 2 o 'clock in the afternoon, I came to school and saw many students had brought all the tools. More than 3:30, has begun to clean, Deng teacher previously told us girls to go to the following women's toilet water. Most of the girls went down to the women's toilet to fill the water, when I went down, I saw a lot of people in the water, everyone is waiting in line to dress the water. After filling the water, I took the water to the classroom. There was water everywhere in the classroom and it was difficult to get in. More and more water, my skirt is a little wet, see everyone in the effort to clean, I am so happy. Before, Mr. Deng said that which group cleaned up their own group first, that group did not have to do the South new classroom lesson 8, such a good thing, everyone immediately do work. Girls keep carrying water, boys keep sweeping the floor... Some people are more comfortable, playing in the classroom or playing outside. Later, when Deng found them, he punished them to sweep clean water outside. We poured water desperately, more and more water, sweep up easy to shoot others. To do the work can be more than that, but also to clean the Windows, clean the podium, TV cabinet, there are some hidden corners, clean the blackboard, although it is easy to say, it is difficult to do, but will unconsciously feel very happy. After the cleaning, our whole class cleaned the classroom clean, feel very proud, the teacher and praised us than the last semester sweep much better, the teacher also praised some of the more hard sweeping people, including me, the teacher said that the people who were praised do not have to do the new classroom in the south. Besides, our group doesn't have to do it after the first sweep. One more surprise - the whole class didn't have to do the new South class. This cleaning is much better than last time. I'm really proud of myself.

Hatfield
The taste of life is not in the sensibility, but in the scale. -- Hatfield I think that if I had not met Hatfield and his On the Novel and the Art of Living on that 2:50 afternoon, perhaps my life would have gone on unchanged.Confucius once said that only women and villains are difficult to raise, far away is resentful and near is not bad, far and near, is also the measure that determines the taste of life.

Ups and downs is another
Ups and downs is another autumn, and they seem to mature some, grew up some. The temper is a little lighter, and the feelings of the sisters are also torn by recent things. Who is filial and unfilial has become a topic between husband and wife. I do not want to argue with my husband what, I know that any argument can not solve any problem, in order to give the mother to see a doctor borrowed a debt, support not in the husband that take a penny. Not two people's feelings are not good, just don't want to look down on themselves, the oath when the first love is but the icing on the cake of feelings at that time. Ten years is just to live together, no one can give who wants to live, and can only spend such a day does not give people before and after the discussion. On the whole, my husband is a good person, taking care of my blind old father, my father was a braggart when he was young, and he always loved to talk nonsense. Old age is still like this, so that there is also a rift between the sisters, every time the husband comes back to learn the tone of the father to me "complain", I turn a deaf ear every time pretending to be nothing, he is angry. Young where so big anger, but he did not understand that love nonsense in any way is my father, he should not use such a tone to say, so I will be sad. If I have to quarrel with someone over seventy years old, how big is his world in that sparsely populated valley? I just want to refrain from saying so, and I don't want to imagine who proves how unbearable I am, and try my best to take care of my parents, and I don't need to prove how much I honor the elderly, God is fair, good has good results. This late autumn such as the old father's age is deeper and deeper day by day, the leaves are yellow, and the leaves wither into the cold winter. The wind, wearing a thick padded jacket, or feel cold, evening, late autumn, winter..."Full of vigor and vitality... It belongs to us." "Myself, every thought of myself, always accompanied by loss, sad." Hard work leads to success, perseverance..." How much power do these tired but true things have for us? School, friends, family, responsibilities rush to us. "I'm tired! Want to escape "Everyone will think that, they are trapped... Remember that Chinese special student - Han Han, study a solo show will be famous, how can they? Can not remember how many tears, can not remember how many times dare not face, to endure is always cruel, the reality is that the sun is as ruthless as blood. Raised his head to snow, the quiet night, but can not feel the heart to go. As if turned into a snowflake never falling snowflake, dancing in the air clean, spotless, aimless indeed is free. Always in the mind to think of reality as the world in a fairy tale (although not that), even if you know, but never stop - to fantasy. Like to see "One Piece" this comic, think of the silly kid inside Luffy no matter what face will always give a person his lovely smile, but every time I will be shocked, perhaps because of the reality of such people too few sake! Oh, but I still like it. Yeah, well, everything has an end, and when it comes to... .. Then why aren't you smiling?! What's wrong with even a silly smile? I get it, I laugh! There were two marks left on both sides of the cheek - it was the punishment of not smiling for a long time, and it was the witness of the beginning of my life! No more illusions in the heart. Inspirational! To face! Sixteen years old me, sixteen years old sky, is the rainy season, is the flower season? I will be brave to say: is glittering and translucent rain embellished only belong to our flower season!

Sometimes think
Sometimes think about it, habit is really a terrible thing. And this terrible thing, it really changes a person. Since the Spring Festival, I have been used to him cooking at home every day. Although occasionally I have some broken thoughts and occasionally feel that it is not a good thing to stay at home all the time, today, I was suddenly told to go to work. I'm not used to it. Although I have cooked several meals a day, I still feel a little hungry. I don't know what I ate, and I feel that I have no appetite for anything. It seems, or he said, leave his life, I will feel unaccustomed. From the first day of the first month, I insisted on writing a composition every day, saying that twenty-one days can form a habit, and today is twenty-four. I really got used to writing every day. Today, thinking of not in the state do not write it, but, still can not help but open again. It seems that every day there is nothing else to do but write something. A few days ago, I learned to play mahjong on the mobile phone, although I told myself not to indulge, occasionally play entertainment, but once I was free, I could not help but take out my mobile phone to play two. Habit, really can change a person. Good habits, bad habits. Will make us can't help but insist. Therefore, I sincerely hope that everyone can develop some good habits and change some bad habits as soon as possible. In this way, we will become better and better.One of the Galapagos islands, Pinzorn, is home to a group of warblers who feed on the pollen, fruits and seeds of cactus, hence the name Palmatophagus. During the cactus season, some warblers use their claws to tear open the petals in common areas, and then use their mouths to tear open the stigmata, so that they can eat the pollen hidden in the petals. Of course, they didn't destroy the cactus in their territory. With the stigma broken, the cactus can't bear fruit, can't form seeds, and the warblers are in danger of losing food. There are only a dozen such intelligent warblers on Pinzaun Island, and they get there first, just to taste the pollen that no other warbler can eat, and they kill themselves in this way. There was a big drought one year, plus a lot of. Cactus because of broken stigma can not result, led to the island of Pinzuoen food palm warblers annihilated. While the tragedy of the warbler made me think deeply, another story moved me: there was a shaking well in the desert that miraculously became the fountain of life for travelers (water is life in the desert), all because it had an unwritten rule to leave a bowl of water for those who came after it. A bowl of water is enough to solve the urgent need, but people always pour it into the shaker to draw water, and then leave a bowl after sucking the water. Travelers who come and go consciously abide by this rule, so a bowl of water becomes a source of water that will never wither. Survival is an art, and its first rule is cooperation. In the short term, it is harmful to others, but in the long run, it is harmful to others and self-destruction, such as the warbler. On the contrary, you take care of and maintain others, others will thank you for your kindness, you benefit from others, others will benefit from you. Therefore, learn to cooperate, must first learn to live.

With the growth of age
"Little boy, little trouble"... With the growth of age, my schoolbag is getting heavier and heavier, reading the sixth grade of my learning burden is getting heavier and heavier, to read more and more books, before Saturday, Sunday to read extracurricular books' time has also changed to the time of the second class. I never went out to play again, one day off in the morning, the weather is clear, sunny, my father said to me: "Son, today I take you to the street." I didn't think about it and agreed. Walking down the street, I thought, "Is it my father who was especially kind today and took me to eat KFC or McDonald's?" I saw a KFC in front of me, and my father took me straight forward, I thought: "Yeah, dad is very nice today." When I got to the store, my father stopped, and I walked toward the store. My father grabbed me and said, "What are you doing?" I said, "Didn't you take me to KFC?" Dad said: "You think of the beauty, now learning so nervous also take you to eat KFC, I am taking you to the opposite of the two classes to sign up, so I had to look sad with my father to sign up, thinking:" After signing up for sure there will be many books to my bag crowded, I really pity my poor bag." After my father finished registering for me, he took me to Xinhua Bookstore. A waiter came to my father and said, "Sir, do you want to buy a book?" Dad said, "Yeah, I'm here to buy some books for my son. What do you recommend?" The waiter said, "Recommended, then buy the top student, one lesson three practice and class pass these are very suitable for your son." At this time, I really want to become the Flash, rush out of the bookstore, and leave the world of tutorial books, suddenly a book has become a huge dragon, and parents have become a knight driving the dragon to chase us, we are a group of children are desperate, but mom and dad have another magic weapon is a huge bag, They opened the bag and sucked us in. Suddenly I woke up from the nightmare with a book in front of me. I thought, "Why didn't the First Emperor burn all his books?"On the way from work, a string of carefree laughter with a burst of running footsteps with the wind blowing from my side, the tip of the hair slightly moved, a cool, empty in the heart, can not help but sigh that the feet of the years is so fast, fast to I suddenly wake up when the scene has changed. Once upon a time, such a phrase full of memories and gone forever never thought it could naturally float out of my mouth, in fact, I personally do not like such helpless feeling, it represents the loss of my youth, I have lost the youth of my parents, my own youth, the youth of my friends, But as others say, with the growth of age, everyone's memory automatically chooses to remember the years of youth, and the more timeless the feeling, but the closer to their own things, the more they can be forgotten by themselves. In fact, I want to say that the memory is good, but the present is more important, just like that year when we ran in the campus playground, we remember the happiness of the moment, know how to enjoy the fresh or rich aroma brought by happiness, really. However, after gradually entering the social life, everyone has been exhausted by the repetitive work day after day to enjoy the happy mood, and every day in the office with no sunlight and constant temperature, just like the flowers in the greenhouse, both physically and psychologically are crystal fragile and easy to be injured. Contact with nature less and less, every day in the steel concrete and car exhaust shuttle, laughter also unconsciously with a sense of depression. Let's discuss, how about one day we go out for a walk, go to the school where we read, preferably the campus of the middle school era (if it is still there), go to see if the playground is still so quietly there, and a few friends talk about the past, see talk about the recent mind, will also say that in fact, things are not people is also a kind of happiness. So we will soon find that, in fact, it is not a big deal, let these unpleasant with the wind brought by the running child floating in the air, let those happy moved to follow everyone's footsteps continue to move forward, laugh two sound, physical and mental ease, what is the big deal, everyone hand in hand to run to happiness today..... Ha ha ha.....
