Now we discuss how to smile facing the life, I always stick to their principles, the road of life is long, always wrong steps, wrong, I smile to face, the next to come on the line.

One of the symbols of modern society people mature, rarely smile (smile), even if you have seen them laugh, the majority is a hypocritical, as in business club, the two leaders of enterprises cooperation contract, from time to time to laugh, or Minzui smile, that is barely fitted out, in the interests, they bow and scrape to it, so that people life is useless, because they do not know how to enjoy life, smile to life.

Is Maya have had a similar feeling, in the city in a quiet place to a person enjoying music or art, my heart will always happy with art, music together, with a faint smile, the inner world is like a piece of limited boundless grassland, sky and clouds, this is I feel in the listening to light music, feel this way because we are born to smile facing the life, regardless of the uninhibited freedom.

Have you ever smile, listening to the rain, it is also a kind of attitude to life, look at the sky, in the countryside in the clouds, not and in a short while, the cabin upload dripping rain drops falling, crisp and the characteristic with light sound, drop by drop straight button atrium.

Smile to the life, is also a kind of life.

现在我们探讨下如何以微笑面对生活，我始终坚持自己的原则，人生路漫漫，总会错几步，做错了点，我以微笑面对，下次改过来就行了。

当今社会人成熟的标志之一，很少会笑了(会心一笑)，即使你看到过他们笑，绝大部分是一种虚伪的，比如在商务会所里，两家企业领导人合作签合同，时不时的放声大笑，或抿嘴微笑，那都是勉强装出来的，在利益下，他们对着它点头哈腰，这样的人一生都是碌碌无为的，因为他们不懂得如何去享受生活，笑对人生。

是雅人都有过类似的感受吧，在城市里某个安静的地方一个人欣赏着音乐或艺术品，心里总是会很愉快的与艺术品，音乐融合在一起，淡淡一笑，内心世界仿佛是一块有限无边的草原，天空还飘着白云，这是我在听轻音乐时的感受，有这样的感受是因为我们从生下来就以微笑面对生活，系无论的自由不羁。

不知大家有没有过微笑着听雨声，这也是一种生活态度，在农村里眺望天空，乌云密布，不一会儿，小木屋上传滴滴答答的小雨滴滴落的声音，轻脆又略带轻涩的声音，一滴一滴直扣心房。

微笑面对人生，其实也一种生活。

导语：空气污染是当今世界的主要问题之一。下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的优秀英语作文，欢迎阅读与借鉴，谢谢!

Air pollution is one of the major problems of the modern world. A great deal of energy is needed to run the factories of modern industrial nations.

Automobile， trains， planes and busses need energy， too. Nearly all of this energy is produced by burning fuels. The burning produces wastes， some of which remain in the air， causing air pollution.

Scientists are finding ways to stop air pollution especially in big industrial areas and densely-populated cities.

They are studying new ways of generating electricity that may be less damaging to the environment. In the meantime， many power plants are being modernized to give off less polluted material.

Also， engineers try to design and locate new power plants to do minimum damage to the environment. However， it may be that we still have a long way to go before we have a "clean" world. Nearly all of the countries are trying hard to prevent and control air pollution.

There indeed seems to be no end to tasks that environmentalists will be required to do. People will continually find new ways to control pollution.

汽车、火车、飞机和公共汽车需要能量，太。几乎所有这些能量都是由燃烧的燃料产生的。燃烧产生的废物，其中一些留在空气中，造成空气污染。

科学家们正在寻找办法来阻止空气污染，尤其是在大工业区和人口稠密的城市。

他们正在研究新的发电方式，这种方法对环境的破坏性更小。与此同时，许多发电厂正在现代化，以减少污染的物质。

同样，工程师们也正在努力设计新的发电厂，确定新的建厂地点，把对环境的危害减少到最低限度。然而，在我们拥有一个“干净”的世界之前，我们还有很长的路要走。几乎所有的国家都在努力防止和控制空气污染。

环境保护主义者的任务似乎没有尽头。人们会不断找到控制污染的新方法。

Don’t play football on the road .we can tell our parents not to drink before they drive, not to run through red lights, not to talk and laugh while driving etc.

我们可以说汽车正走进我们的生活，但只有当每个人都认为交通安全是每个人的事时，我们才能安全地在路上开车和在人行道上行走。

Dear Editor,

Im a senior high school student named Li Hua. Now many students have iPads and think its a fashion to use them. U sing an iPad, we can listen to music, download a lot of learning materials and read them on the screen. Apparently, its helpful to our study, especially to our English listening.

Some students, however, bring their iPads to the classroom and listen to music without earphones, which makes the teacher and other students greatly annoyed. Some of them even waste precious time in class playing video games.

In my opinion, as students, we should make good use of iPads to help achieve academic success. The classroom is a place for students to study, and thereforeconcentration is awfully needed for us to learn our lessons. Furthermore, the school should make a rule to guide the students to use iPads in a proper way. Yours sincerely, Li Hua

Dear Mike，

Thank you very much for your concern. Last months several places in Beijing were blanketed with thick yellow fog. Everything around disappeared from our sight. Some highways were closed. Traffic jams were commonly seen in the streets. Many people, especially children and seniors, even found it difficult to breathe. As a result, local hospitals were crowded with people who had problems with their noses and lungs. Part of the cause was the dry weather, but the severely damaged environment contributed a lot to this nightmare. Personally I didn’t get any health problems in the haze because I stayed mostly indoors. But to make a significant change we really have to do more to protect our environment. To live a better life we have to push on with the economy, but it wound be meaningless if we have to achieve it at the cost of our breathing air. Regards!

Yours， Li Hua

2015年高考英语作文热门话题之五---中国式过马路

前不久，中央电视台“焦点访谈”栏目曾就“中国式过马路”现象进行了不少采访和评论。请用英语写一篇100-120 词的短文，结合自己的所见所闻或亲身经历描述“行人闯红灯”(pedestrians run the red light)引发的若干问题，并就此提出一些解决措施。 注意;短文的开头已给出(不计词数)。

Not long ago, CCTV “Focus Talk” carried out many interviews and made some relevant comments on the phenomena---“Crossing roads in the Chinese style”.______________________

参考范文：

Not long ago, CCTV “Focus Talk” carried out many interviews and made some relevant comments on the phenomena---“Crossing roads in the Chinese style”.

There is a very common phenomenon around us that people just run the light totally ignoring the running vehicles, which can lead to serious consequences. Last week a traffic accident happened near our school, a rushing car knocked down a student who was running the red light. And because of the car’s sudden stop, several cars behind crashed into each other. Of course this caused a terrible traffic jam.

In my opinion, effective measures should be taken to solve the problem. First, we can make good use of the media, such as TV, newspaper, magazine, to raise people’s awareness of obeying the traffic rules and road safety. Second, government must make severe laws to punish people who dare to break the law and run the red light.

优秀作文：

Not long ago, CCTV “Focus Talk” carried out many interviews and made some relevant comments on the phenomena---“Crossing roads in the Chinese style”.

Take one of my experiences for example. It was a Tuesday and it rained cat and dog. There was only a few minutes left for me to go to school on time. I was so hurried that I ignored the red light. It was so dangerous for me that the car hardly hit me seriouly. From then on, I never dare to run the red light. I think it can lead to many problems. There is no doubt that it will not only make the traffic heavier but also lose your own life.

As far as I am concerned, it has profound significance to take actions. For the government, they should make laws and appeal to the importance of safety. For the other people, we should cherish our lives and obey the traffic rules.

参考范文：

With large amounts of food thrown away each year, the problem of food waste is widespread in China. Last Spring Festival, my father invited several friends to dinner in a restaurant. My father ordered a lot to show respect and display generosity.

What surprised me was he ordered an extra dish before we could finish all! When we stood up to leave, there were many dishes unfinished. Out of embarrassment, my father was reluctant to take the leftovers home. Later, we all shared the opinion that it was a great waste.

Recently, the Clear Your Plate Campaign started nationwide. I firmly believe that if everyone does his bit, the food waste will be significantly reduced.

2015年高考英语作文热门话题之八---食品安全

我们的身体健康与食品安全息息相关，但现在我们却面临越来越多的食品问题如染色馒头、毒奶粉。请用英语写一篇100-120词的短文，简要分析食品问题形成的原因并提出相应的解决措施。

染色馒头the industrial dye of steamed bun 毒奶粉the notorious milk powder

It is universally acknowledged that the safety of food is closely related to our health. As the famous saying goes, “we are what we eat.” However, things often go contrary to our wishes since we are faced with a series of food safety problems at present, ranging from the industrial dye of steamed bun to the notorious milk powder.

There are several reasons for this severe problem. First and foremost, many manufactures produce fake food of poor quality in order to get higher profits. In addition, the relevant laws and regulations are imperfect and even ineffective. Last but not least, the public especially customers from poor families, are not alert enough to the safety of food.

In view of the seriousness of the problem, effective measures must be taken to improve the situation. Firstly, it is essential that relevant laws and regulations on food safety should be enforced. Secondly, the relevant department should attach more importance to supervising监督 the manufacturers. Also, the public should be trained to be alert to food quality, believing our efforts will make an enormous difference. Only by taking these actions can the problem be coped with successfully in the nearest future.

High school is regarded as the best time in a persons life. As a senior three student, it wont take long before I graduate. Now, I have much to share with my

fellow students.

Firstly, I would like to show my appreciation to those standing by me all the way, teachers, parents and friends included. Without their help and advice, my life would be different. Secondly, its high time to say sorry to classmates whom I hurt or misunderstood. Communication and smiles act as bridges to friendship. Above all, Ive made up my mind to make every effort to study, for I believe hard work is the key to success. Just as the old saying goes, "no pains, no gains."

Finally I hope that all the younger fellows can make full use of time, because time and tide wait for no men.

2015年高考英语作文热门话题之八---人际关系

有些高中生有时与同学发生这样或那样的矛盾或冲突，这些问题会给大家带来烦恼甚至影响大家的学习。请你用英语写一篇120词左右的短文，分析一下产生矛盾或冲突的原因，并谈谈应如何正确地与同学相处。

【参考范文】

Classmate conflicts among senior middle school students are often heard on campus over recent years. These conflicts make the excitement of campus life grow grey and have bad effects on both their living and learning.

Classmate conflicts often rise from daily tiny things such as space where to store books or notes. When personalities don’t mix, the specifics can tear classmates apart and sometimes even lead to serious conflicts. Besides, the fact that classmates hold different attitudes towards certain issues is another factor causing these conflicts.

Classmate conflicts are harmful and need to be settled. Though many people think that school discipline can soften the conflicts, I believe learning to be tolerant with each other can play a more constructive role because it teaches students flexibility and the art of compromise. Meanwhile, communication contributes to the solution to this problem since many of these conflicts result from misunderstanding.

2015年高考英语作文热门话题之九---友谊

请根据以下的提示，并结合自己的交友经历，表达你对朋友的理解。

Without friends, life is not worth living. But what kind of person can be accepted as friend? Lots of people are classmates and arent friends. Lots of people are lovers but arent friends. You can appreciate or admire someone, but that doesnt make them a friend. If their attitude is "for better or worse," if they stick with you through thick and thin, thats when you can tell its friendship. 注意：1、120字数左右。

2、不要过多引用上述提示。

【参考范文】

The term, friend, covers a wide range of meanings. It can be a nodding acquaintance, a comrade, a partner, a playmate, a brother, etc. As life is full of obstacles and conflicts, we need friends to give us supports to get through tough times, we also need friends to give us warnings to go against danger. True friends share not only joy but, more often than not, they share sorrow and difficulties.

With friendship, life is happy and harmonious. Without friendship, life is hostile and unfortunate. I have friends in the rank and file. Some are rich and in power. Some are low and common. Some are like myself, working as an ordinary teacher, reading and writing and content with the simple life. To many of my friends, I know what to treasure, what to tolerate and what to share, I will never forget my old friends and keep making new friends. I will not be cold and indifferent to the poor friends and will show concern for them, even if it is only a comforting word.

【参考范文】

Should Internet Slang Be Prohibited?

At present， Internet Slang， such as “GG， MM， Xia Mi”， has become popular among the teenagers.

There are different opinions on Internet Slang. Some students think Internet Slang is vivid， fashionable and full of humor and intelligence. Besides， it makes chatting on the Internet quicker.

However， some other students think Internet Slang lacks depth of thought and is too simple. Also， it is hard to understand and not accepted by most people. The words sometimes might make people confused， even resulting in misunderstanding.

Every coin has two sides. In my opinion， living in the Information Age， if we don’t know the Internet Slang， we seem to fall behind the times. It will be OK as long as these terms are used correctly in proper situations.

In recent years, people are developing aninseparable relationship with Internet. As is known toall, it is convenient for us to click the mouse whensurfing on line, either to entertain ourselves or to meet the works needs.

On the one hand, no one denies that Internet is currently one of the most useful media inour daily life. As a college student, I get on line every day to exchange information through e-mails with my net friends. But on the other hand, a good many people admit that they are toomuch addicted to Internet to maintain a regular and wholesome lifestyle.

Thus, it is necessary for us to use Internet in a reasonable way and restrain fromoverindulgence. After all，Internet is invented to enrich our life, and to improve the efficiencyof our work rather than shackle us with a chain.

今天,我们的自然环境质量已经成为一个重要问题.世界人口增长如此之快,世界已变得过于拥挤.以下内容是小编为您精心整理的环境话题英语作文，欢迎参考！

环境话题英语作文一

There are still many problems of environmental protection in recent years. One of the most serious problems is the serious pollution of air, water and soil. the polluted air does great harm to people’s health. The polluted water causes diseases and death. What is more, vegetation had been greatly reduced with the rapid growth of modern cities.

To protect the environment, governments of many countries have done a lot. Legislative steps have been introduced to control air pollution, to protect the forest and sea resources and to stop any environmental pollution. Therefore, governments are playing the most important role in the environmental protection today.

In my opinion, to protect environment, the government must take even more concrete measures. First, it should let people fully realize the importance of environmental protection through education. Second, much more efforts should be made to put the population planning policy into practice, because more people means more people means more pollution. Finally, those who destroy the environment intentionally should be severely punished. We should let them know that destroying environment means destroying mankind themselves.

Today the quality of our natural environment has become an important issue.The world population is rising so quickly that the world has become too crowded.

We are using up our natural resources and at the same time polluting our environment with dangerous chemicals.If we continue to do this,life on earth cannot survive.

Concerned people have made some progress in environmental protection.Governments of many countries have established laws to protect the air,forests and sea resources and to stop environmental pollution.

Still more measures should be taken to solve environmental problems.People should be further educated to recognize the importance of the problems,to use modern methods of birth control,to conserve our natural resources and recycle our products.We are sure that we can have a better and cleaner place in the future.

今天,我们的自然环境质量已经成为一个重要问题.世界人口增长如此之快,世界已变得过于拥挤.

我们正在利用我们的自然资源,同时污染的危险化学品的环境.如果我们继续做这个地球上,生活无法生存.

有关人士取得了一些在环境保护方面的进展.许多国家的政府已建立了法律保护,空气,森林和海洋资源,并停止对环境的污染.

但更应采取措施来解决环境问题.人们应该进一步的教育,认识到问题的重要性,使用现代节育方法,以保护我们的天然资源和循环利用我们的产品.我们相信,我们可以有一个更加美好,更清洁的地方.

halloween has always been a holiday filled with mystery, magic and superstition. it began as a celtic end-of-summer festival during which people felt especially close to deceased relatives and friends. for these friendly spirits, they set places at the dinner table, left treats on doorsteps and along the side of the road and lit candles to help loved ones find their way back to the spirit world.

todays halloween ghosts are often depicted as more fearsome and malevolent, and our customs and superstitions are scarier too. we avoid crossing paths with black cats, afraid that they might bring us bad luck. this idea has its roots in the middle ages, when many people believed that witches avoided detection by turning themselves into cats. we try not to walk under ladders for the same reason. this superstition may have come from the ancient egyptians, who believed that triangles were sacred; it also may have something to do with the fact that walking under a leaning ladder tends to be fairly unsafe. and around halloween, especially, we try to avoid breaking mirrors, stepping on cracks in the road or spilling salt.

but what about the halloween traditions and beliefs that todays trick-or-treaters have forgotten all about? many of these obsolete rituals focused on the future instead of the past and the living instead of the dead. in particular, many had to do with helping young women identify their future husbands and reassuring them that they would someday--with luck, by next halloween!--be married.

in 18th-century ireland, a matchmaking cook might bury a ring in her mashed potatoes on halloween night, hoping to bring true love to the diner who found it. in scotland, fortune-tellers recommended that an eligible young woman name a hazelnut for each of her suitors and then toss the nuts into the fireplace. the nut that burned to ashes rather than popping or exploding, the story went, represented the girls future husband. (in some versions of this legend, confusingly, the opposite was true: the nut that burned away symbolized a love that would not last.) another tale had it that if a young woman ate a sugary concoction made out of walnuts, hazelnuts and nutmeg before bed on halloween night, she would dream about her future husband. young women tossed apple-peels over their shoulders, hoping that the peels would fall on the floor in the shape of their future husbands initials; tried to learn about their futures by peering at egg yolks floating in a bowl of water; and stood in front of mirrors in darkened rooms, holding candles and looking over their shoulders for their husbands faces.

other rituals were more competitive. at some halloween parties, the first guest to find a burr on a chestnut-hunt would be the first to marry; at others, the first successful apple-bobber would be the first down the aisle.

of course, whether were asking for romantic advice or trying to avoid seven years of bad luck, each one of these halloween superstitions relies on the good will of the very same "spirits" whose presence the early celts felt so keenly. ours is not such a different holiday after all!

Our great motherland is one of the largest countries in the world. It has a population of over twelve hundred million. Beijing is its capital.

We Chinese people are brave and hardworking. We have a glorious revolutionary tradition. We drove out all the enemies. In 1949 the Peoples Republic of China was founded. Since then great changes have taken place in our motherland. Now our country is getting stronger and stronger. We Chinese people are working hard to make our motherland into a powerful country.

In China, the woman who is more than 40 year-old is called Da Ma, it has to be admitted that Da Ma is a powerful group, they own certain money at hand, we always hear about the news about them buying house everywhere or flying to the foreign country to buy the brands. The large group now has invaded the square at night, when the night comes, several groups of Da Ma go to the square, playing the music and dance until 9 o’clock. About few years ago, only few women would do this, but now, as the economy develops, people live a better life, so they begin to find entertainment. Da Ma have made the square dance popular, when we go out at night, we may find them dance everywhere. I think square dance is a good way for people to get exercise, they can keep fit.

Years ago, when I started looking for my first job, wise advisers urged, "Barbara, be enthusiastic! Enthusiasm will take you further than any amount of experience." How right they were. Enthusiastic people can turn a boring drive into an adventure, extra work into opportunity and strangers into friends."Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm," wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson. It is the paste that helps you hang in there when the going gets tough. It is the inner voice that whispers, "I can do it!" when others shout, "No, you can’t."

It took years and years for the early work of Barbara McClintock, a geneticist who won the 1983 Nobel Prize in medicine, to be generally accepted. Yet she didn’t let up on her experiments. Work was such a deep pleasure for her that she never thought of stopping.We are all born with wide-eyed, enthusiastic wonder as anyone knows who has ever seen an infant’s delight at the jingle of keys or the scurrying of a beetle.

It is this childlike wonder that gives enthusiastic people such a youthful air, whatever their age.At 90, cellist Pablo Casals would start his day by playing Bach. As the music flowed through his fingers, his stooped shoulders would straighten and joy would reappear in his eyes. Music, for Casals, was an elixir that made life a never ending adventure. As author and poet Samuel Ullman once wrote, "Years wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul."

How do you rediscover the enthusiasm of your childhood? The answer, I believe, lies in the word itself. "Enthusiasm" comes from the Greek and means "God within." And what is God within is but an abiding sense of love — proper love of self (self-acceptance) and, from that, love of others.Enthusiastic people also love what they do, regardless of money or title or power. If we cannot do what we love as a full-time career, we can as a part-time avocation, like the head of state who paints, the nun who runs marathons, the executive who handcrafts furniture. Elizabeth Layton of Wellsville, Kan, was 68 before she began to draw. This activity ended bouts of depression that had plagued her for at least 30 years, and the quality of her work led one critic to say, "I am tempted to call Layton a genius." Elizabeth has rediscovered her enthusiasm.We can’t afford to waste tears on "might-have-beens." We need to turn the tears into sweat as we go after "what-can-be." We need to live each moment wholeheartedly, with all our senses — finding pleasure in the fragrance of a back-yard garden, the crayoned picture of a six-year-old, the enchanting beauty of a rainbow. It is such enthusiastic love of life that puts a sparkle in our eyes, a lilt in our steps and smooths the wrinkles from our souls.

The plan for the new term

Another new term comes again,so I should have a study plan to promot myself.

Firstly,I descide to finish my homework more carefully than before.And pay more attention to the knowledge which I didnt know it clearly.

Secondly,I will do a lot of read to widen the range of my knowledge,and try to combine thoery to practice.

Finally,I will learn to adjust, to be more positive and more helpful.

Thats what I plant to do in a new term.

Nowadays, Chinese people are everywhere, on the one hand, they like to travel and on the other hand, the population is very large. But foreigners’ impression on Chinese is not always good. The media have reported the negative incidents that were brought by Chinese tourists, and many foreigners have given their opinion and criticized the tourists’ behavior. It is true that many Chinese people haven’t realized their bad behavior, such as talking loudly in the public occasion. As we have the large population, so not every people has the chance to receive good education. What’s more, the foreign media just reported the bad side while ignoring the good side, so the foreign people always think Chinese people are rude. We admit that we are not doing well enough and we need to behave ourselves. And I believe that a wise man will make his own judgment when he communicate with Chinese.

Academic Plagiarism

Nowadays, the problem of academic plagiarism becomes more and more serious. In orderto earn academic titles, some teachers plagiarize others academic papers; in order tograduate smoothly, some college students plagiarize others graduation papers. Everything hasits reasons; academic plagiarism is no exception.

First, college authorities put too much emphasis on papers while conferring academic titlesand graduating students. Second, modern technology makes it unprecedentedly easy to getinformation and materials. Some plagiarists who are morally corrupt cant resist thetemptation and decide to take risks. Third, the system of censorship and penalty are farfrom being strict, encouraging plagiarism to some extent.

Plagiarism causes many bad results. On the one hand, plagiarism infringes original writersright and it is unfair for teachers and students who dont plagiarize. On the other hand,plagiarism may spread negative thoughts which in the end will ruin colleges fame. Therefore,I suggest college authorities should not regard papers as the only criterion for evaluating teachers and students. Besides, much stricter system of censorship and penalty should beapplied.

Our beautiful earth is only one, is also the only one. If you dont cherish, in the end, the only regret. But now, people regardless of the image, the damage to the environment.

In the street, always see someone to walk less, will their garbage on the ground, this kind of behavior is damage to the environment, and not beautiful. Although there is a punishment, but has no effect. In the end, only the cleaner to clean up the mess. That if be in their own homes, garbage, flies are flying everywhere, do you feel better? That if no cleaner in the world, if so do you dare to imagine? Looking at people such behavior, the earth mother cry. Lets ensure that their hand, whether in where, what time, please send their garbage home.

There is a bad behavior, and that is the grass. Every time after school, some children for fun, always likes to play football on the grass. When your foot jump on it, when enjoying the care of the earth, you can know it in complains to heaven. The grass also hurts, it just didnt express. Dew on the grass face every morning there will be some, and the dew like their tears. The grass also have feelings, when it is happy, it will be a purposeful, enjoy the warmth of sunshine, the breeze bath; When it cry, it will be bent her waist; When it is complained that their is a humble grass, it dead. Lets ensure that their feet, dont trample on the lawn. Use action to soothe the soul of the dead, renewed the miracle of life.

Have you seen? Dozens of people saw an axe in hand, they are going to cut down trees. When forests there saw, with the trees fall. When there is a tornado and sandstorms, no trees to shelter from the rain. Then there is no regret medicine to eat. Without trees, also become no longer pure and fresh air. When youre cold, you go to pick up trees make a fire, it is the warmth of your sacrifices for a tree. Some trees grow hundreds or even thousands of years, is a humble axe ended its long life. What a strong tree, I do not know the moment when it fell, it think about? How hardy tree, can eventually escapes according to the bad luck.

Friends, protect our environment, is to protect our earth. Cherish our only the earth, is to cherish our life. When a rainbow sky, means that garbage to go home, the grass smiles, uncle grandpa happy, our earth mother without crying.

参考翻译：

我们美丽的地球只有一个，也是唯一的一个。如果不好好珍惜，到头来，只有后悔。可现在，总有人不顾形象，在破坏环境。

在街上，总会看见有人为了少走几步路，将自己手中的垃圾随意扔在地上，这种行为既破坏环境，又不美观。虽然有惩罚，但一直以来并没有什么成效。到最后，只有清洁工来收拾残局。那假如是在自己的家里，到处都是垃圾、苍蝇还满天飞，你自己好过吗?那假如世界上没有清洁工，要是这样下去你敢想象吗?看着人们这样的行为，地球妈妈哭泣了。让我们管好自己的手，不管是在什么地方，什么时间，请将自己手中的垃圾送回家。

还有一种不好的行为，那就是践踏草坪。每当放学，有些孩子为了开心，总喜欢在草地上踢足球。当你的脚踏在上面蹦蹦跳跳的时候，享受大地关怀的时候，你可知道它在埋怨上天。小草也会疼，它只不过没有表达出来而已。每天早上小草脸上会有一些露珠，而这些露珠就像是它们的眼泪。小草也有感情，当它快乐的时候，它会挺直腰，享受阳光的温暖，微风的沐浴;当它哭泣的时候，它会弯下自己的腰;当它埋怨自己是颗不起眼的小草时，它已死去。让我们管好自己的脚，别再践踏草坪。用行动安抚已死去的灵魂，再度点燃生命的奇迹。

你看见过吗?几十个人的手里拿着电锯斧头，他们是要去砍伐树木。当森林出现电锯声时，将伴随着一棵棵树的倒下。当出现龙卷风和沙尘暴时，再也没有树木来挡风遮雨。到时再也没有后悔药可吃。没有了树，空气也变得不再清新。当你冷的时候，你去捡树木生火，可你的温暖却是牺牲一棵树换来的。有些树木生长了几百年甚至几千年，可就一把不起眼的斧头结束了它漫长的生命。多么坚强的树，不知当它倒下的那一瞬间，它想到了什么?多么顽强的树，可最终还是逃不过厄运的毒手。

朋友们，保护我们的环境，就是保护我们的地球。珍惜我们唯一的地球，就是珍惜我们的生命。当天空出现彩虹时，就说明垃圾回家了，小草笑了，大叔爷爷乐了，我们的地球妈妈没有在哭泣了。

As a teenager，I met the same problem as you. But now I can get along better with my mother. Here are some ideas for you。

Your mother talks much，because she cares about you. Maybe its not a good way，but it shows your mothers love. So I think you should listen to her. If your opinions are different from your mothers，you can communicate with her，and tell her what you are thinking about。

If your mother doesnt take your advice，just keep silent and give her a smile。

I hope what I say here can help you a lot.

After entering college, we found, to our surprise, that differences between high school life and college life are great. In high school, we always depended on our parents and teachers to solve all kinds of difficult problems. At college, however, we have to rely exclusively on ourselves. Whats more, we have to learn how to get along with our classmates and roommates.

Four years at college is an important yet very short period of time in our life. So it is always expected that we adapt to this life as quickly as possible. But it is a pity that not everyone can do so immediately. Here are some suggestions.

First, get familiar with the main buildings on the campus. Spend one or two hours by yourself or with your classmates to go around the campus so that you can know the location of such important places as the library, the dining room, the post office, the clinic and classrooms. Next, try to be independent. Learn to do such things as making sound decisions on how to spend your time, how to spend your money etc, and washing clothes on your own. Furthermore, form good study habits. Talk with your classmates and learn from their good habits. Finally, try to take part in all kinds of activities to get out of your solitude and get on well with your classmates.
