北京奥运第一枚金牌属于谁？(Who will win the first gold medal?)

The suspense over who will win the first Olympic medal and in which event is really a interesting thing. Chinese officials are determined to make sure China, as the host country, wins the first gold of the Games. The womens 10m air rifle - which includes two Chinese medal favorites - has its final scheduled at 10:30 am on Aug 9 and should end about 20 minutes later.

If all goes as planned, either reigning gold medalist shooter Du Li or world champion Zhao Yinghui will raise 2008s first gold at the Beijing Shooting Range.

But if Du and Zhao are too far behind in points going into the final, the rumor says, organizers will delay the last ten shots of the final while the weightlifting final goes on as planned so China can secure the gold.

I think the first gold medal must belong to we Chinese, let wait this moment together.

奥运英语作文 关于北京奥运会开幕式的

关于北京奥运会开幕式的(About Beijing Olympic Opening Ceremony)

The Olympic Opening Ceremony was an international event and the whole world was watching! The event was held in a stadium designed to seat a large group of people.

The athletes entered the stadium in a specific order. The athletes from Greece entered first in honor of the original Olympics held in Greece. Then, the other athletes followed by nation in the alphabetical order of the host country’s language. The host country’s athletes came last. So for this coming Olympics 2008, the athletes from China will enter the stadium last.

The chief of state of the host country declared the games open, followed by the raising of the Olympic Flag. Music was played and fireworks were set off in salute. Then, doves were released into the air as a symbol of peace. Runners in cross-country relays brought in the Olympic torch. The running of the torch began four weeks before the Olympic ceremony and thousands of runners took part in this. Planes and ships transported the Olympic torch to each country that lies between Greece and the host country. The most exciting moment of the Olympic ceremony was when the torch entered the stadium and lit the Olympic Flame. The Flame was kept burning until the end of the Olympic games.

奥运英语作文 关于北京奥运会闭幕式的

关于北京奥运会闭幕式的(About Beijing Olympic Closing Ceremony)

The closing ceremony must take place in the stadium after the end of all the events. The flag bearers of the participating delegations and the name-board-bearers enter the stadium in single file. Behind them march the athletes, without distinction of nationality.

The flag bearers then form a semi-circle behind the rostrum.

The President of the IOC and the President of the OCOG mount the rostrum. To the sounds of the Greek national anthem, the Greek flag is hoisted on the flagpole that stands to the right of the central flagpole used for the winners flags. The flag of the host country is then hoisted on the central flagpole, while its anthem is played. Finally, the flag of the host country of the next Olympic Games is hoisted on the lefthand flagpole to the strains of its anthem.

The mayor of the host city joins the President of the IOC on the rostrum and returns to him the Olympic flag. The president of the IOC then entrusts it to the mayor of the host city of the following Olympic Games. This flag must be displayed in the latter citys main municipal building.

After an address by the President of the OCOG, the President of the IOC gives the closing speech of the Olympic Games, which he ends with these words:

"I declare the Games of the ... Olympiad closed and, in accordance with tradition, I call upon the youth of the world to assemble four years from now at ... to celebrate with us there the Games of the ... Olympiad".

A fanfare then sounds; the Olympic flame is extinguished, and while the Olympic anthem is being played, the Olympic flag is slowly lowered from the flagpole and, unfurled horizontally, carried out of the arena, followed by the flag bearers. A farewell song resounds.

奥运英语作文：我最喜欢的中国射击运动员

奥运英语作文：我最喜欢的中国射击运动员(The Chinese sport shooter I like best)

The Chinese sport shooter I like best is Wang Yifu who was in terms of Olympic medals one of the most successful sport shooters of all times. He specializes in the 50 m Pistol and 10 m Air Pistol events.

Wang won his first Olympic medal in the Los Angeles games at the age of 23. After this, the Air Pistol event was added to the program, and this is where he has achieved his greatest accomplishments. He won the 1992 gold medal only days after a new medal in the 50 m event. His three attempts to repeat the victory have provided impressive results and very tight duels:

In the 2004 competition, Wang scored 590 once more, but lost the Olympic record to Mikhail Nestruev (Russia) who achieved 591. However, Wang Yifu chased quickly and eventually won by a margin of 0.2 points to get his second Olympic gold.

I like Wang Yifu, and I also like his great sprite.

From the cartoons given above, we can see that the cow is explaining to the little baby that it is not her fault for giving the poisoned power milk/the keeper is feeding the pig with Clenbuterol . The cartoon wisely reflects the food safety issues which occur in recent years. Food safety related to people’s health and it concerns about people’s basic livelihood. Since the Sanlu Incident occurred in 2008, the entire society was increasingly concerned about food safety issue. It was in this context that the food safety issue has been referred to an unprecedented height.

Problems leading to food safety are as follows: 1) using poor quality raw materials in the food manufacturing process; 2) adding toxic substances; 3) excessive use of food additives; 4) abusing of chemical additives and so on. There are many reasons that cause this problem. It is regulators, producers, and even consumers who share the responsibilities.

As Confucius instructed: better late than never. Prompt and strict measures should be taken to turn back this evil trend. The government should launch a massive moral campaign to educate all citizens and draw up tougher laws to crack down on those irresponsible corporations and prohibit them from entering the food industry again. I am firmly convinced that through our combined efforts we are bound to enjoy more risk-free foods in the days ahead.

从上面给出的漫画,我们可以看到,牛是解释的小宝贝这不是她的过错给毒牛奶/权力门将与瘦肉精喂猪。明智的这幅漫画反映了近年来发生的食品安全问题。食品安全与人们的健康和人们关注的基本生活。自从三鹿事件发生在2008年,整个社会越来越关心食品安全问题。正是在这种背景下,食品安全问题已经被提到前所未有的高度。

导致食品安全问题如下:1)食品制造过程中使用劣质原料;2)添加有毒物质;3)过度使用食品添加剂;4)化学添加剂的滥用等等。有很多原因导致这个问题。这是监管机构,生产者,甚至消费者分担责任。

孔子教导:迟做总比不做好。提示和严格的应采取措施回头这邪恶的趋势。政府应该发动大规模的道德教育活动所有公民和制定更严格的法律打击那些不负责任的公司和禁止他们再次进入食品工业。我坚信通过我们的共同努力,我们注定要享受更多的无风险的食品在未来的日子里。

Now let me say something about Beijing Opera. Beijing Opera is very popular in China. It has a history of more than 200 years. During the reign of the Qianlong emperor in the Qing dynasty, Qianlong had a interest in the local opera. In 1790, to celebrate his eightieth birthday, he summoned opera troupes from different places to perform for him in Beijing. Four famous troupes from Anhui province remained in Beijing after the celebration. In 1828, A Hubei troupe came to Beijing and often performed together with the Anhui troupes. The two types of singing mixed together and gradually a new type came into being known as Beijing Opera. Now is the performance. I hope you will like it.

现在让我说关于京剧。京剧在中国很受欢迎。它已经有200多年的历史。在清朝乾隆年间，乾隆对地方剧有兴趣。1790，为了庆祝他的八十岁生日，他从不同的地方戏曲剧团召唤到北京为他表演。来自安徽省的四个剧团表演完后留在了北京。1828年，一个湖北剧团来到北京，经常与安徽剧团一起演出。两种唱法混合在一起，逐渐成了一种新的类型被称为京剧。现在京剧就要开始了。我希望你会喜欢它。

It is said that the scene ofSunriseis beautiful, but I had never seen it before. It was so hot last night that I didn’t sleep well. Early this morning I got up and came to the balcony to relax. It was cool outside. I looked up at the sky, the sparse stars twinkling there. Everything around me was dim. I gazed at the east, where the sky was lightening. After a while, the stars disappeared and the buildings, trees, streets in the distance could be seen faintly. Slowly, the horizon in the east was becoming reddish. The red color extended continuously and was becoming thicker and thicker. At last the sun showed its face a little, gradually into a half flaming ball, and whole ball appeared, shining brightly. Everything around me was clear. What a beautiful sunrise I saw!

My best friend is Li Ming. We are in the same class.

He is as old as me, but he is taller and stronger than me. Both of us have black eyes and black hair, but his hair is shorter than mine.

As for hobbies, we have something in common  in some ways. I like the friends who have the same hobbies with me. Both of us like sports. We often exercises together after school. But he is more outgoing and better at sports than me. Besides, collecting stamps is our same hobby, too. We often exchange our stamps with each other.

About the learning, I think I’m a little smarter than him. Most of my subjects are better than his, so I often help him with his study.

reation directors help plan the party, but the young people themselves take charge of the entertainment and the decorations — a necessary part of halloween. dried corn stalks, pumpkin faces, and piles of apples create the harvest atmosphere; and cutouts of witches on their brooms, goblins, ghosts and black cats symbolize the witchcraft aspect of the holiday. the freshments — apple cider, popcorn and pumpkin pie, and witches made of spicy ginger cookies — also carry out both themes.

there is an occasional adult halloween dance in a bright orange and black setting, with paper-made black cats, witches and grinning skeletons floating above the dance floor. but halloween has become mainly a young people‘s holiday — and the younger the child the more exciting he finds it.

万圣节前夜

10月31日，当一轮满月从空中升起的时候，小妖精、妖魔鬼怪、恐怖的巫婆、小捣蛋鬼——孩子们把小脸蛋藏在奇形怪状的面具后——会突然出现在朋友及邻居面前，并威吓着说：“不给糖，要倒霉。”

万圣节前夜，顾名思义，就是仅一个晚上的节日。在一年中的这一夜，孩子们的心灵充满了单纯的梦幻奇境。他们是节日的主人，而父母或其他大人只能起陪衬作用。在老师和商人的鼓励下，在前一年欢度万圣节前夜的美好回忆的诱惑下，孩子们(3至11岁)几星期前便开始准备服装和节日装饰了。虽然家长往往都要帮助孩子们准备服装，但在节日那晚，他们一定要装出一副被突然出现的带面具的鬼怪吓着了的样子。那时，会有穿着黑色长袍、戴着尖尖高帽子的小巫婆出现，她们乘着神扫帚飞过屋顶，飞到临街邻居的屋顶上；还会有披着床单的鬼怪出现，他们边跑边露着帆布鞋和短袜子；还有那可怕的海盗，他们戴着绘有骸髅及交叉的大腿骨的三角帽。有的孩子手提用南瓜刻成的人面形灯笼，但每个孩子都手拿着袋子或联合国儿童基金会发的盒子，上面写着：“不给糖，要倒霉。”很快，这些袋子、盒子里便都装满了糖果。

十几岁的孩子玩那些恶作剧的游戏，有时使大人们相当为难。他们向过往的车辆扔鸡蛋或西红柿；往玻璃窗、汽车挡风玻璃上涂抹难以擦掉的蜡；把南瓜滚下长长的山路；搬走门廊里的家具；偷走垃圾箱盖；在篱笆上乱涂乱写，到处惹是生非；这样来消耗掉他们多余的精力。警察虽然警惕性很高，但也只能逮捕那些真正的犯罪者。在许多社区人们举办交际舞会或街区晚会，以分散那些搞恶作剧的年轻人的精力。会后由商业界为最佳服装颁发奖品。虽然文艺指导帮助策划晚会，但是年轻人都亲自负责组织活动和动手装饰，这些是万圣节前夜的必可不少的一部分。晒干的玉米秆、用南瓜雕刻成的人脸以及一堆堆的苹果，使晚会增加了丰收的气氛；用各种东西雕刻成的乘扫帚的巫婆、妖魔鬼怪和黑猫标志了节日的魔力。晚会上供应的新鲜食品——苹果酒、爆米花、南瓜馅饼以及制成巫婆形的辣姜饼——既增加了丰收的气氛，又标志了节日的魔力。

万圣节前夜偶尔也有成年人的舞会，舞台背景为鲜艳的橙色和黑色，舞场上还舞动着用纸做成的黑猫、巫婆及龇牙咧嘴的骷髅。尽管如此，万圣节前夜主要是孩子们的节日—一孩子越小，就越兴奋。关于万圣节英语优秀作文：万圣节前夜

Children in costumes race from house to house asking for treats. A carved pumpkin, called a jack-o’-lantern, grins from a porch as the children pass. According to legend, jack-o’-lanterns protect people in their homes from ghostly spirits.

It’s all part of the fun on Halloween! The roots of Halloween stretch back thousands of years and borrow customs from several parts of the world.

Halloween is a holiday celebrated on October 31. By tradition, Halloween begins after sunset. Long ago, people believed that witches gathered together and ghosts roamed the world on Halloween. Today, most people no longer believe in ghosts and witches. But these supernatural beings are still a part of Halloween.

The colors black and orange are also a part of Halloween. Black is a symbol for night and orange is the color of pumpkins. A jack-o’-lantern is a hollowed-out pumpkin with a face carved on one side. Candles are usually placed inside, giving the face a spooky glow.

Dressing in masks and costumes is a popular Halloween activity. Costumes can be traditional and scary, such as a witch’s pointy hat and black gown. Costumes may also have a modern flavor. Many children dress up as movie characters or a favorite superhero.

But Halloween is not just for children. Many adults enjoy showing off their costumes at Halloween parties!

Once in costume, children go from house to house saying “Trick or treat!” In the past, children might play a “trick” on people who did not give treats. They might pelt houses with eggs or old tomatoes, or play other pranks. Today, children’s cries of “Trick or treat!” are usually rewarded with candy.

One of the oldest Halloween traditions comes from the ancient Celts, who lived in western and central Europe long ago. The Celts celebrated a holiday

y called Sa amhain on October 31. After sunset that day, people believed that spirits of the dead would rise and walk the earth. The Celts made offerings of food and drink to keep the spirits away.

Beginning about 2,000 years ago, the Roman Empire conquered many Celtic peoples. But Celtic traditions, including Samhain, remained strong in areas such as Ireland and Scotland, even after the Roman conquest.

The Roman Catholic Church tried to replace Samhain in 835 with All Saints’ Day, a day to honor saints of the Church. The eve of All Saints’ Day is October 31. It is called Allhallows or Hallowmas by the Church.

Halloween first came to America with early settlers from Celtic areas in Europe, such as Ireland and Scotland. But other American settlers with strict religious beliefs, including the Puritans from England, rejected Halloween. The arrival of many Irish immigrants during the 1800s helped spread Halloween’s popularity.

But by the late 1800s, fewer people believed in ancient superstitions of ghosts and witches. Halloween became more a holiday for children to receive treats and dress in costume.

儿童服装竞赛挨家挨户要求对待。,南瓜,称为的南瓜灯笑容从玄关,孩子们通过。根据传说,南瓜灯保护人们从可怕的精神家园。

这是所有的一部分乐趣在万圣节!万圣节的根源可以追溯到数千年,借世界海关从几个地方。

万圣节是一个10月31日庆祝的节日。按照传统,万圣节在日落之后开始。很久以前,人们相信女巫聚集和万圣节鬼在世界。今天,大多数人不再相信幽灵和巫婆。但这些超自然仍然是一个万圣节的一部分。

颜色黑色和橙色也是万圣节的一部分。黑色象征着晚上和橙色是南瓜的颜色。鬼火是一个中空的南瓜脸雕刻的一侧。蜡烛通常放在,面临着一个令人毛骨悚然的发光。

穿着面具和服装是一个流行的万圣节活动。服装是传统和可怕的,比如一个女巫的尖尖的帽子和黑色的礼服。服装也有现代气息。许多孩子装扮成电影人物或最喜欢的超级英雄。

但是万圣节不仅仅是为了孩子。许多成年人喜欢炫耀他们的服装在万圣节派对!

一次服装,孩子们挨家挨户说“不给糖就捣蛋!“在过去,孩子们可能会扮演一个“技巧”没有给对的人。他们可能与鸡蛋或毛皮房子旧西红柿,或玩其他的恶作剧。今天,孩子们的叫喊起来,“不给糖就捣蛋!“通常得到糖果。

最古老的万圣节传统之一来自于古老的凯尔特人,很久以前住在欧洲西部和中部。凯尔特人庆祝一个节日

y称为Sa amhain 10月31日。日落之后那一天,人们相信死者的灵魂会上升,地球走。凯尔特人的食品和饮料保持精神献祭。

大约在2000年前开始,罗马帝国征服了许多凯尔特民族。但凯尔特传统,包括夏末节,保持强劲的地区如爱尔兰和苏格兰,即使在罗马征服。

罗马天主教会试图取代835年夏末节所有圣徒的日子,纪念圣徒教会的一天。万圣节前夕是10月31日。它被称为万圣节或万圣节的教堂。

万圣节从凯尔特地区第一次来到美国早期定居者在欧洲,比如爱尔兰和苏格兰。但其他美国定居者与严格的宗教信仰,包括从英国来的清教徒,拒绝了万圣节。许多爱尔兰移民的到来在1800年代帮助传播万圣节的声望。

但到1800年代末,更少的人相信幽灵和巫婆古老的迷信。万圣节变得更加的节日孩子接受治疗和穿着服饰。

Olympic Games hold every four years and I like to watch the matches so

much. People always pay much attention to the champions, while for me, the

inspiring players are easier to catch my attention. Though some players do not

get the prize, they deserve applause as the champions have. I remembered that in

the Beijing Olympics, in women’s 100-meter-race, a girl looked different from

other athletes, because she worn scarf and was from Afghanistan. She lagged much

behind other athletes, but she still got the intense applause. She showed to the

world that Afghan women could join this big event. Her insistence helped her to

come to the world stage.
