The Dragon Boat Festival, there must be zongzi! Today, my sister is teaching me to make zongzi! You see. Make zongzi must be prepared. Originally, the sister has been ready to soak the glutinous rice for 3 hours, but also bought reed leaves, so ready to let me be surprised. I put the rice in the leaves, but all the rice on the table, I was very angry. My sister said to me, "You should make the leaves into a triangle shape and then put the rice in it!" So, I said in accordance with the steps of my sister made again, pressed on the rice, Yi next to the middle of the plate is what is the original meat oh! I dug a small hole in the middle of the glutinous rice, made the meat into a round shape, stuffed into the glutinous rice, let it also join the ranks of the glutinous rice. But how? I looked at my sister, and I understood. I pushed down one of the upturned leaves and tied it tightly with a rope. Success! I followed the previous' method 'and packed several. Now it's time to boil the water and then put the zongzi down. After a while, the zongzi was cooked. The four of us sat at the table and ate zongzi. I untied the string and was trying to take the leaf off, but when I touched it, it burned. Sister saw, ha ha laughed. I blew and blew the heat away. Again, I carefully opened the leaves and ate the delicious zongzi made by my own hands - white fat glutinous rice middle, wrapped in a group of delicious fresh meat, into the mouth, not greasy, and chewy, feeling too good! The Dragon Boat Festival is so past, eating his own hand dumplings, thinking of the Tang Dynasty poet Du Fu wrote a poem: palace clothes is also famous, the Dragon Boat Festival was grace. The wind is soft, and the snow is light. Since the day is wet, when the summer comes to clear. Meaning said length, life of the sacred love. This is really a happy Dragon Boat Festival!

Looking at the students' diary, the immature and grateful words let me feel relieved, I could not help but think of yesterday's class scene. Yesterday, we learned the passage "told" in comprehensive Exercise 1. It was written in the passage that the mother repeatedly told us full of maternal love. The child was dissatisfied with this at first, but later understood the mother and was full of gratitude to her. After the first reading of this article, I let the students talk about their feelings, but the students feel more or the children nagging tired of mother, perhaps mothers love nagging, perhaps the students have deep sympathy, but the nagging and contains how much mother love ah, I must let the students have a correct understanding of this. So I asked the students to read the text and find the sentences that expressed the author's thoughts and feelings. After careful reading, most of the students found what the author understood about their mothers, but a few found that they were tired of their mothers nagging. When I asked them to explain the reason, Kim said, You see, mother s advice is like a regular program on the radio. I want to listen to this program forever... 'It shows that the author loves listening, and listens actively. How can it be boring?" He Yang also stood up and said, "Look, he speaks of his mother. The voice is' kind and gentle voice, and guide us to grow up, this is not to understand the mother's love for their own? At this time the students suddenly realized, the students combined with their own practical talk about the benefits of the mother told, such as "told to memorize words, the results of dictation full marks." "Told to take an umbrella and not be rained on," and so on, then the students are talking about their mother's love for themselves, words are full of happiness, I did not enjoy the children, and let the children write a diary at night. Today I see the children's understanding of maternal love, is the deep love for mother, at this time I have been satisfied.

When I woke up, the sun had covered my desk and the room was bright, warm and quiet. I looked at my alarm clock. It was ten in the morning. - Oh, my God! How long has it been since I've slept this much? For a moment I saw the dust in the light, suspended silently, which I had not noticed before; I saw the sky of a few days ago, still tile blue and pure, which I had noticed but had ignored; See those simple plants, flowers, quiet green, open, still dress up the world, this is I once praise but long forgotten; To see the birds with crisp singing, together in the branches through the flight, this is I once wrote a poem, but never remember..... Life moves too fast. All day deep in bitterness, resentment, I ignore how much warmth how much love? How much praise and love have you forgotten? Where am I supposed to get back what I had but I abandoned? Yes, more than ten years of wandering life, I have too much resentment, dumped on this earth; I have too much cold, towards their enemies or friends, I have too many curses, hurled at the world. Standing in the frost of the world, but I have been looking forward to a long time of warmth or sunshine, solidified in their own body. Think about it: life is a lifetime, vegetation in autumn. The time of a few decades is just a fleeting moment, the vast world will never add or subtract anything because of our personal joys and sorrows. Is it better to live a life filled with grudges and curses, or a life filled with smiles and gratitude? Suddenly, relief and joy spread all over me, and suddenly I felt the impulse of praise and love again.

If one day
In a twinkling of an eye, I have been in the sixth grade, and a few months to graduate it! I still remember what it was like to be in the first grade. To tell the truth, I really do not want to leave the students, reluctant to CAI Jingtaro, reluctant to Tian Jing, reluctant to Tian Wenyan...... For six years, they accompany me to study, accompany me to play, six years of classmate friendship to the end of the exchange is that "goodbye, friends! "Aye, farewell friend; Say goodbye to your classmates; Farewell to those I hate; Farewell to my teacher; Farewell to those who have helped me and those I have helped; Goodbye to people whose names I don't know but who talk to me all day... .... After we left school, we went our separate ways, wondering what it would be like to reunite again. What kind of identity? Graduation represents growth. Classmates have witnessed the happiest time in my life. Perhaps only after separation can I realize the importance of my classmates in my heart. From now on, maybe no one will be noisy in my side.... Do not know, after many years, again through the familiar streets, into the familiar door, see the familiar playground, the teacher will be a kind of mood, sad or miss? After many years, I don't know whether the teacher will remember to teach me this student, I don't know whether the classmates will remember we used to play together, I don't know whether the classmates will remember we spent the sixth grade...... Maybe grow up, I may forget the teacher, forget the classmates, but I also forget that there are a few people have played with me. Junior high school three years, I will make new friends, and then familiar with the new environment, at this time, is the first step in my life.

Mimi the beaver
Mimi the beaver has a dream of being an architect. When he grows up, he carries his bags on his back, bids farewell to his parents and swims to the distant water in great strides. Mimi found two beautiful areas of water where he wanted to build a home of his own -- a villa surrounded by water. Mimi looked at the trees around her, listened to the sweet songs of the birds, and began to think about the future. He imagined the beautiful villa: a living room, a kitchen, ten guest rooms, and of course rooms for himself and his future beloved beaver girl... "Wow, what happiness! Mimi couldn't contain her joy... First, he had to build a dike to keep the water from flooding his house. Mimi's thoughtful, but building a dike is a big job. Mimi was so hard. He gnawed the tree trunk with his sharp teeth and let it fall into the water. After he had eaten a few, he fell flat on his stomach. But Mimi, the industrious architect, took a break and went on gnawing the tree trunk from day to night. The problem was how to get the tree trunk to the body of water where he was going to build his house. So Mimi begged Brother Water to help carry it. Water elder brother listened very proud: "Mimi, today I can help you carry the trunk, tomorrow I can also break your dike, it all depends on my mood!" Mimi was so happy that he only heard the first part of the sentence and didn't hear what the second part was. After the elder brother carried the tree trunk to the water that Mimi wanted, Mimi began to stick the trunk upright into the mud. Mimi's diligence was seen by many nearby beavers. They were moved by Mimi and helped her find stones to tie down the tree trunks. Soon Mimi's dam was built. Then Mimi's villa was finished. The round roof, viewed from a distance, looked like a charcoal kiln with a diameter of 23 meters. The thick walls were coated with clay. Inside were spacious dry bedrooms with a front door and a back door. The name of the villa is "The Family of Rice Grains". Because Mimi married a beaver girl named Granular who came to help. Mimi asks everyone to toast at the "Rice House", but careless Mimi forgets to invite the water brother. Brother Water was a little angry. If I didn't help carry the tree trunk, you could have built the house so smoothly? Brother Water decided to teach Mimi a lesson. The next morning, when Mimi and granular are still immersed in sleep, the ear suddenly came a roar. The original water brother impulse, full strength to hit the dam, the dam was destroyed! "Rice House" was also seriously damaged by the water brother. "Many of the animals saw this, and felt sorry for the hardworking Mimi, so they decided to help her build a stronger dike -- a dike made of many big stones. And those who heard the news came to the beaver friends also hastened to help: soon, the dam was repaired, "rice home" is also repaired. It was better and stronger than the last one. To celebrate this great victory, Mimi invited many neighbors, but this time he did not forget to invite his brother Water. And the water brother knew he made a big mistake, in the celebration day, he did not dare to attend, but quietly sent a letter of apology, and quietly flow away.Because Mimi to invite

Wash dishes on Sunday
It was another Sunday, and once again the staff of our extra-curricular Study Group gathered at my home. In this cooperative study, we set an activity for ourselves: 15 minutes of housework, which is also a kind of learning. I specially discussed with my mother: this housework is to wash the dishes for us. Because mother is too busy, sometimes several meals dishes together, this time is the same. When I came to the kitchen, I saw a big pile of bowls in the sink. I thought: Isn't it easy to wash dishes? Wang Yuning opened the faucet, I randomly grabbed one, desperately kneading. Knead one, the bowl still has a thick layer of oil. So did the rest of the class. How to do that? When we are at a loss. This is because my mother might be worried. She went into the kitchen and came over. I quickly asked: "Mom, why can't I wash the dishes? "Mom smiled and replied," Of course, you can't wash the dishes in cold water. You have to wash it in hot water, because hot water removes the oil completely." After listening to my mother's instruction, we suddenly realized that we quickly heated hot water, squeezed some dishwashing liquid in the bowl, and then carefully knead. While he was washing, Liang Shuming said, "There is a lot of knowledge in washing dishes. It seems like you have to learn everything." After a while, the bowl in my hand was washed by us. And so I washed the second one, and the third one. At last, all the dishes were washed by us. Looking at the polished pile of washed dishes, I do not know how happy. We really benefited a lot from this extra-curricular study group activity. Because we not only learned to wash dishes, but also learned a truth: nothing is easy, so must learn. Learning is everywhere.

Humor cell
I watched a cartoon today. A father and son were on their way to their son's painting class. The father is like a slave to his son, holding an umbrella for his son, carrying his backpack and drawing board for his son, and buying snacks for his son. What about the son? Sheltered by an umbrella and snacks, I walked leisurely, regardless of my father's sweat. On the top of the cartoon were two lines: Those who did not carry the board, and those who did not carry the board. After reading this comic, I feel the same way. The author is deeply moved by the phenomenon of "little emperors" and "little princesses" in real life. Why am I not? Once, I saw such an interesting thing in the park. A six-year-old boy was surrounded by a large crowd. Seems to be the little boy's father, mother, grandfather, grandmother, but in front of the "little emperor" is a "loyal". The snacks are full, the drinks are gone, and the video games are still on, which keeps him happy." When the emperor is happy, his subjects are happy. After a while, the boy wants to play on the slide, and several "subjects" prepare to catch the boy below. "Brush! The little boy slipped down, but many people were confused and didn't catch it. The little boy falls down. This kind of accident happens in Kingdom of Heaven. Come on! Grandma has been coaxing grandson, grandpa has been scolding dad, dad bowed his head to admit his mistake, took out snacks "shock" little boy. This isn't the first time I've seen something like this! In modern life, people's living standard has been improved and families have become rich. The new generation is already living a life of opening their mouth and reaching for their clothes. In addition, they are the only child, parents spoil us more. But where do they find out? They think they're sending us to heaven, but they're sending us to hell! Poor inherit the wind, parents all over the world, wake up!

As long as I can
Happiness, it really in my side? Yes, I can answer you with conviction and certainty: Yes! Let me tell you: when you drink a cup of hot water in the cold winter night, this is happiness; When you are enjoying the care and happiness brought to you by mom and dad, this is happiness; When you see your work in the newspaper, the excitement is also a kind of happiness. Happiness is when you laugh with difficulties, when you are happy, when you spend time with someone to comfort you when you are sad! Happiness is no matter at any time will not be lonely, lonely. Why, why did I not perceive this star-filled happiness at first? Dad says happiness is sleeping in on Sunday. Mom says happiness is having a career of your own. My brother said that happiness is to be admitted to a famous university. My sister said that happiness is a lollipop every day. When I was a child, I liked the comic book pretty girl, when my mother bought me this comic book I yearn for, I was very happy. Thinking about it now, isn't happiness just pure happiness at that moment? I open a smile, is not the witness of happiness? That's how easily I got the happiness I wanted. However, if a person's heart without desire, that happiness and how to talk about. Happiness is a unique experience, is a kind of endless aftertaste. Happiness is not being rich, it is more a feeling, a feeling that you think you are happy; Happiness is not above a person, under ten thousand people, more is a kind of enjoyment, a kind of happiness you think you are happy to enjoy. In fact, happiness is in your side. Maybe now, happiness has come to you...

Little one
Ants, the "little ones" of the animal world, may be little known. But as I, a lover of ants, the feelings for it are not general. It is true that the ant is small, but it can lift objects many times its own size. How wonderful! Not to mention, ants have many unexpected abilities, such as transmitting information through their antennae. I think ants can give us some inspiration, some people will change their view of small ants! Remember it was a hot summer, I saw a big beetle under the tree was two small ants bite tightly, but the power is too great, two small ants to deal with the present "behemoths" is obviously "egg meets stone". In this case, one ant touched another ant with its tentacles and hurried away from the battlefield. The other ant knew and continued to fight the big beetle. What did the little ant do? Turns out, he went to get help. He came to a large stone not far from the big beetle, a group, a team of ants like disciplined soldiers, one by one with neat and powerful steps toward the "battlefield". At this time, "ant troops" suddenly like a tidal surge forward. The beetle was paralyzed by this onslaught. All of them fought bravely on the "battlefield", and none of them flinched or retreated. The ant soldiers finally won the battle. After the war, they buried their comrades who had died in battle and walked away with neat and firm steps. From the above incident, don't you see the truth of "unity is strength"? Don't you applaud the ant warrior for his fearlessness? They are a kind of what a noble quality of animals ah! They are my favorite animals. I love them, but I love their kind of indomitable spirit!
