Warm boots for the winter
A cool autumn has arrived and the cold winter is not far behind. In this upcoming winter, you still let yourself have to suffer such painful bone-chilling cold again? Why not take sufficient preparations to prevent cold now? Why not choose winter boots to warm your heart? We should learn to love ourselves.
Many girls are very fond of winter that snow often overspread all the hills and dales, they like play with snow, they like the romantic scenarios. But I couldn’t, even though I always like snow, like its white, I am afraid of the cold, but also relatively easy to cold. I used to think the winter is the most sad and most difficult to experience. But something has changed later. One of my friends sent me a pair of classic tall boots, he said, I would not feel the cold even in the snow while wearing those boots. And it really did so!
The classic tall boot is one of the series of boot. It is made with genuine sheepskin, one of the most naturally comfortable materials in the world, both inside and out. The insoles of my classic tall boot are shaped to fit my feet just like gloves fit my hands and act like a second skin. In fact these insoles are malleable enough to form around the exact shape of my foot. Because all the boots are lined with shearing the softest, springy wool, I feel like walking on pillows while walking in the classic tall boot. In fact, the boot’s lightweight soles make it easier to walk as well.
My friend also told me that because boots were made with high quality sheepskin, instead of regular leather; my feet would not only be warm in each cold winter but cool in the hot summer. Due to the natural sheepskin all the sheepskin boots are great for every season.
As a matter of fact, there are too many local shops and online stores sell boots and other products now, which I did not notice before. It’s worth mentioning that there are also many fake boots in the market, so we should learn how to distinguish between them.
It is said that warm start from the feet. So if we want to keep our body warm we should do it from the feet, and boots are my first choice. Since then, I love the winter. I will take this winter to show my fashion with my elegant boots as well.

A pure world written by Tagore
“Stray birds of summer come to my window to sing and fly away.” As we know, this is excerpt from Stray Birds.Recently, I read the Stray Birds written by Rabindranath Tagore. He is one of the great men who enjoy fame in the world. Also, he is a novelist and a philosopher.
Stray Birds is one of the famous works written by Tagore. At the same time, it is one of the most outstanding collection of poems, including more than three hundred beautiful poems.
Day and night, river and sea, freedom and perfidy, all these combine with each other beneath Tagore’s pen. Every short sentence contains profound philosophic theory. It leads people to discover the source of truth and wisdom. For example, “Asks the Possible to the Impossible, ‘Where is your dwelling place?’ ‘In the dreams of the impotent.’ Comes the answer.” Though the sentence is very short, it tells us an important logic that nothing is impossible, but how you think about it. If you think it is impossible, it would just be as you think. So, believe yourself. Don’t give in to anything.
After reading these little poems, I feel really pure as if I pushed open the window of bedroom after the storm at a summer morning and saw a peaceful and orderly world in where everything is pure and bright-colored with substantial lasting appeal. I have learnt a lot by reading the Stray Birds.
Here I want to introduce some beautiful sentences to you.
If you shed tears when you miss the sun, you also miss the stars.
We come nearest to the great when we are great in humility.
Thank the flame for its light, but do not forget the lamp holder standing in the shade with constancy of patience.
We read the world wrong and say that it deceives us.
Do not insult your friend by lending him merits from your own pocket.
God is ashamed when the prosperous boasts of his special favor.

It can strengthen the university students’ military ability and skill, enlarge their knowledge of national defense and guarantee our country of security. In the following article, I will explain them in detail.
Military training can strengthen students’ military ability and skill. Students will become stronger after military training. They can form good habits and develop noble characters.

Through difficult and rigorous skill training, we temper our will、strength our body and culture our tenacious style. Also, our spirit of being not afraid of hardship and tiredness can be shown in military training.

Also, military training can enlarge their knowledge of national defense. Through the military training, students increase their sense of national defense and develop the spirit of national defense. In this case, students will concern the country more.

Everyone in our country should be in the preparation for defending our country and protecting the people from wars. We need to pay more attention to these.
So, it is quite important for university students to take part in military training, because it can strengthen the university students’ military ability and skill, enlarge their knowledge of national defense and guarantee our country of security. Military training is a great experience in the life. We get more than we have paid and it will benefit us all our lives.

Girls’ suits
Girls have a lot of choices when wearing clothes. They can elect anyone they like. And girls have always been very fond of fashion cloths and make up accessories, and among different choices in girls dresses, girls suits have great importance. Wearing the right girl suits will make you feel powerful and confident. People will treat you with respect because a perfectly fitted suit will not only enhance your personality but also reveals you care about your look and appearance.
It is fact that the best suit is the one that makes you feel confident and positive, but you need to know how to actually buy a suit from zillions of styles and designs gives you unique look. You know there is no dearth of choices in girl dresses which include Sailor Dress, Flower Girl Dress, Girls formal Dress and suits etc., but a well fitted girl’s suit has its own importance. There are some points you need to take care while buying a girl suit:
First thing you need to take care is getting the right fit. Just because you’re a teen doesn’t mean the suits in the juniors department will fit best. The clothes are virtually the same styles, but they just fit differently.
Select eye-catching fabrics and colors as there is no dearth of choice in girl suits fabrics and colors. Check for suits made in satin, bouclé, cotton pique and other unusual fabrics with some attractive colors. If you can’t find a suit you like, look for pieces you love. Be careful when matching black fabrics though–black is notoriously difficult to match. It’s sometimes best to go with two completely different colors.
Consider a retro style. Three-quarter-length sleeves and cowl necks are making a comeback in girls’ suits. On younger women, these suits have a retro-edgy vibe.
The fitting is one of the important aspects, therefore before buying the girls suits check the fitting properly.
Above all, when you are out for baby dress suits, buying suit for yourself, make sure that the overall shape of the suit is feminine. It should be well cut to bring out your body shape. You should feel as great after wearing a suit as you do after wearing your well-fitted jeans.

One Needs Study History
As we all know, history is very important to every country, it shows the spirit of the people in the country and tells the process of establishing a state and building up a country. So from my point of view, everyone need to study the history of their countries.
The ancients said:” Learn from the past guide for the future.” Lessons of the past can be used as a source of reference for the future. Spanish writer Cervantes once said:” History is the sign of ancient, the reference of present and the lesson for the future.” To study history, we should start with reality and discover something important from the past and realize the value of history.
Of course, history can not only give us reference but also give us education and cognition.
British historian Carlyle once said:” The whole past is the wealth of the present”. We can pursuit wealth over the past several thousand years from the vast history by studying history; we can question ourselves whether we do well or not compared with the history. To study history, we can sum up the law of historic development and have a clear understanding of it; to study history, we can roam at the excellent culture of ancient people and feel the breathtaking creativity of our ancients. So we can say that history is a inexhaustible treasury.
And Helvetic Historian Burkhardt once said:” The past has a clear link to the present and the future.” The history is the past present and the present is the history of future. History can across the boundaries of time. It can not only guide the present but also foresee the future. With the knowledge of history, we will give a better analysis about the past and a more reasonable plan concerning the future. We will live a better life than before. This just is the benefit of learning history.
For these reasons, it is necessary for us to learn history of our own countries. It can help us make more self-questioning and concerned with the country. You know just like the water to us it is also very important to study history. Please listen to the class carefully and read more books and stories about your country.
