中國燈籠(Chinese lantern)
Chinese lantern has originated from the Western Han Dynasty. Around the yearly Lantern Festival, people all hang red lanterns up, which are symbols of reunion, to create a festive atmosphere. Lanterns later become a joyous symbol for Chinese. Chinese lantern synthesizes techniques of painting art, paper cutting, paper bundling and prickseaming. Palace lantern and gauze lantern are the most famous among the lanterns made in ancient China.
Nowadays, lanterns still paly an important role in home decoration, but the material of some lanterns have changed from paper and bamboo to cloth, plastics and iron wire, and their shape and colour have been quite different from traditional ones.
中國的燈籠起源於西漢時期。在每年的元宵節前後，人們都會掛起象徵團圓的紅燈籠，來營造一種喜慶的氣氛，後來，燈籠就成了中國人喜慶的象徵。中國的燈籠綜合了繪畫藝術、剪紙、紙紮、刺縫等工藝。在中國古代製作的燈籠中，以宮燈和紗燈最爲著名。
如今，燈籠在居家裝飾上仍扮演者重要的角色，但是有些燈籠的材料由原來的紙、竹子變成了布、塑料、鐵線，而且燈籠的形狀和顏色與傳統也大不相同。
最好的旅遊方式(The Best Way of Traveling)
People travel by plane, by train, by ship, by bus. To me, the best way of traveling on a summer vacation is to go on foot.
My preference depends on the purpose of the travel. On a summer vacation I travel to refresh myself and to see the countryside. When I use my feet and walk on a grass covered path along a river or among the hills I feel detached from the noise of the city and closer to the nature. And when I travel on foot I get more freedom. I can plan my own schedule. I can choose my own route. I can stop where I like. And I can see things and people that I might miss if I travel on a train or on a bus. net
When faster and more convenient ways for travel are becoming available, I still favor using my own feet. I get much pleasure from it. People travel by plane, by train, by ship, by bus. To me, the best way of traveling on a summer vacation is to go on foot.

愛的力量(Love Power)
We always say that love has great power to fix anything. But what power does lovehave and how it works? In my opinion, love is the firmest connection betweenpeople. The relationship between people may be connected due to variousreasons, but love helps people understand and accept each other. So people cankeep their relationship much longer. Besides, love can heal a wounded heart. Sometimes,we may be hurt by others or we may suffer some unexpected accidents. They ofcourse will depress us. But love given by others can pull us out of use they love us, they will be around us and help us.
