Of all the symbols associated with Easter, the egg, the symbol of richness and new life, is the most important. Originally, Easter eggs were painted with bright colors to represent the sunlight of spring and were used in Easter-egg rolling contests or given as gifts.

写作1 On May 1st, I participated in a five-day tour organized by our school to the Jinggang Mountain by train. After we got there, first we visited the Hope Primary School, where we got to know the conditions of students’ study in the less developed areas. Soon, we were arranged to live in the houses of local villagers to see what their real life is. There we were able to have meals with them and work in the field to experience the farmer’s life.
During the visit, we were excited to find that farmers are living a better life and no children drop out of school because the government pays for their tuition fees and many warm-hearted persons unselfishly sponsor them.
写作2 Attention please, everyone:
Now I would like to tell you the arrangement for the journey.
We will arrive in Guangzhou Guangdong Province on the morning of January 30th on the first day, and later that morning go to Xiangcheng by ship, the capital of an island city. There, we will meet the host families at the short reception and then leave with them. From February 1st to 14th, we will study in Xiangcheng Language College in the morning, and in the afternoon we will travel around the island, such as going to the Natural Park to have a walk in forest and viewing the beautiful tall trees. On the 15th and 16th, we will be back to Guangzhou, where we will climb Baiyun Mountain, and have a picnic there. On the 17th, we will fly back to Sydney form Guangzhou International Airport and arrive at about 9 pm Australia time and greeted by parents at the airport.
That’s all. Thank you.
写作3 I am quite satisfied with the travel agency. First of all, the local tour guide John was very enthusiastic and considerate to all tourists，especially to the older people. The local tour guide explained everything about the places we visited in a clear and lively way, which helped us broaden our horizons. However, the food provided in the restaurant wasn’t right to our tastes and quite a few of us had to buy extra food. In addition, it would be better if we could be taken to the shops where we could buy good bargains.
写作4 Hi, everyone. May I have your attention please?
On Sunday, October 11th, we will visit the Guangzhou Zoo, which has a long history of 50 years or so. There we can see all kinds of animals, including some rare animals such as pandas, Chinese alligators and so on. Those who want to go please gather at the gate of the White Swan Hotel at 7:00 on Sunday morning. It will take us 50 minutes to get to the zoo. Be sure to take some food with you and wear comfortable shoes because we will do a lot of walking. That’s all. Thank you!
