环保英语作文:

Saving water means saving ourselves!

Water is the basic source of life. There would be no life without water.

More and more water is needed in the modern society.

Many places are short of water; many rivers and lakes are polluted. What’s worse, many people are wasting water.

In order to protect water, let’s do something to fight against all kinds of pollution and waste of water.

环保英语作文:

As we know, water is very important to man, we can’t live without water. The amount of water which is suitable to drink is less and less. But some people don’t care about it. They waste a lot of water in their daily life. Even worse, they pour dirty water into rivers. They throw rubbish into rivers, too. Many rivers and lakes are seriously polluted. Something must be done to stop the pollution. And I think it’s a great shame to waste while millions are in great need of water. I think what we can do is that we have to save every drop of water as possible as we can. For example, we must turn off the tap immediately after we use it. We can use a basin to wash our hands and faces. It’s also a good idea to encourage my friends and family members to join me! Only in this way can we live happily. If we don’t save water, the last drop of water will be a tear-drop of us. I believe if everyone makes a little effort, we can make a big difference.

环保英语作文:

he earth is suffering, and we, the human beings, are suffering with it,too.The rivers on the earth are drying,then we have to turn to the Mars to search for water;trees on the earth are reducing,then we have to use plastics;the oil,coal and gas is getting less an less,then we have to be ready to go backward to the darkness.Everybody hates the pollutions but everybody is making pollutions.If you are responsible person for the world,for the next generation and for yourself,then stop making such mistakes.Lets all together save the environment, save the resources ,save the nature and save the earth as well.Only because that is to save ourselves!Come on,do something with the preservation of the human existence.

Everybody knows that we have only one earth on which we share with different kinds of animals and plants.With the development of the industry,we, the human beings, have produced more and more pollutions whci are harmful to the animals,plants and ourselves as well.The most serious problem that we have to face is that the earth is being destroyed by our so-called civilizations.Sometimes,you may find we are having more and more natural disasters on the earth.That is why some countries,like America,has begun to explore the Mars and the other planets.Remember,to save the earth is to save ourselves.

环保英语作文:

On Energy Shortage(节约能源)

Energy shortage is a huge problem for morden society, and it has a negtive impact on peoples daily life and economic development.

Many elements accounts for energy shortage. Firstly,rapid economic development prompts an increase of energy consumptions in different industries. Secondly,population growth creates greater demands for household energy usage. Thirdly,people have yet to develop the sense of energy conservation.

Actually we can do a lot to save energy in daily life.Turn off lights and fans when nobody is in the room;design buildings with the concept of energy saving;use public transit instead of private cars in rush hours...It is very easy for us to do these things as long as we have the sense of energy conservation,and we should do it right now.

Recently I have seen such a story, the story on the way to save a giant snake women in banda aceh in Indonesias aceh province provincial capital, a woman under the guidance of a serpent, arrived in safety. 26-year-old woman riza said, on December 26, 2004, she lives in a village was flooded with waves, panic in the people running for their lives.

At this time, a female neighbor because of badly wounded, riza, please take your a pair of twins, she then back up the twins. To fight with in the jet stream, she saw a big snake down the flood from the left to swim, she is just like the serpent has been to swim, the results arrived in a safe place. After the event, riza said: "very strange when meet the serpent, I do not feel panic." Moreover, the serpent did not bite them.

Yes, as long as we treat animals, animals will be kind to you, but if you hurt the animals, which hurt just dont know is you a person but a human. In recent years my human destruction of the food chain, all the time and so many animals die because we humans, spirited, extinction. Some even have some rare animals fur to make clothes for money! Some people regard animals as the experiment, according to statistics, there are 2.5 million animals die each year from drug test, in this world, animals are used in shampoo, cosmetics, cancer drug test, although it is not the same with animals, but people and animals have the same right to life, they also have a desire to survive, so human cant go to such a large number of experimenting on animals. Now so many animals came to attack us, because we damage to them, so want to animals will also be kind to you, you will be kind to animals.

最近我看到过一个这样的故事,这个故事讲着一条巨蛇引路救妇女是在在印尼亚齐省省会班达亚齐,一名女子在一条大蛇的指引下,抵达安全地点。26岁女子丽扎说,2004年12月26日,她住的村落被巨浪淹没,慌乱中人们纷纷逃命。

这时,一名女邻居因为受了重伤,请丽扎带自己的一对双胞胎逃生,她于是背起了双胞胎。在与急流搏斗时,她看见一条大蛇从左侧顺着洪流游去,她就跟大蛇一直游,结果抵达了安全的地方。事后,丽扎说:"很奇怪,当时见到大蛇,我并不感到惊慌。"而且,大蛇也没有咬她们。

是啊,只要我们善待动物,那么动物也会善待你,但如果你伤害了动物,哪受伤害的就不知是你一个人而是人类。就在近些年来我人类时时刻刻都在破坏着生物链,而因此许多动物都因为我们人类的搏杀而死亡、灭绝。甚至有些人为了钱把一些珍稀动物的皮毛做成衣服!还有些人把动物当成了实验品,据统计每年有250万的动物死于药物试验,在这个世界,动物们被用于洗发水,化妆品,癌症药品的试验,人虽然与动物是不相同的,但人与动物却有着相同的生存权利,它们也有求生的欲望,所以人类不能去这样大量的用动物做试验。现在之所以这么多的动物都来攻击我们,是因为我们对他们的破坏,所以要想动物也会善待你,你就要善待动物。

关于感恩节英语作文(一)

Once President Roosevelt’s house was broken into and lots of things were stolen.Hearing this, one of Roosevelt’s friends wrote to him and advised him not to take it to his heart so much. President Roosevelt wrote back immediately, saying,”Dear friend, thank you for your letter to comfort me. I’m all right now. I think I should thank God. This is because of the following three reasons: firstly, the thief only stole things from me but did not hurt me at all; secondly, the thief has stolen some of my things instead of all my things; thirdly, most luckily for me, it was the man rather than me who became a thief…”

美国总统罗斯福的家曾经失窃,财物损失严重,关于感恩节的英语作文。朋友闻此消息,就写信来安慰他,劝他不必把这件事放在心上。罗斯福总统很快回信说:“亲爱的朋友,谢谢你来信安慰我,我一切都很好。我想我应该感谢上帝,因为:第一,我损失的只是财物,而人却毫发未损;第二,我只损失了部分财物,而非所有财产;第三,最幸运的是,做小偷的是那个人,而不是我……”

It was quite unlucky for anyone to be stolen from.. However, President Roosevelt had such three reasons to be so grateful. This story tells us how we can learn to be grateful in our life.

对任何人来说,家中失窃绝非幸事。但是,罗斯福总统却能找到三个感恩的理由。这个故事告诉我们,生活中,我们应该学会感恩。

Being grateful is an important philosophy of life and a GREat wisdom.. It is impossible for anyone to be lucky and successful all the time so long as he lives in the world. We should learn how to face failure or misfortune bravely and generously and to try to deal with it. If so, should we complain about our life and become frustrated and disappointed ever since then or should we be grateful for our life, rise again ourselves after a fall? William Thackeray, a famous British writer, said, “Life is a mirror. When you smile in front of it , it will also smile and so will it when you cry to it.” If you are grateful to life, it will bring you shining sunlight. If you always complain about everything, you may own nothing in the end. When we are successful, we can surely have many reasons for being grateful, but we have only one excuse to show ungratefulness if we fail.

感恩是一项重要的处世哲学,是生活的大智慧。人生在世,不可能事事顺通。对于各种失败和不幸,我们要豁达大度,勇敢地面对,并想办法解决。面对困难,我们是懊恼抱怨、沮丧气馁,陷入绝望,还是对生活满怀感恩之心,跌倒后再爬起来呢?英国著名作家威廉·萨克雷说过,“生活是一面镜子,你对它笑,它也会对你笑;你对他哭,它也会对你哭。”如果对生活感恩,你的生命将充满灿烂的阳光;如果一味怨恨,终将一无所获。我们成功时,有千万个理由感恩生活,而失败时,只要一个借口就会表现出忘恩负义。

I think we should even be grateful to life whenever we are unsuccessful or unlucky. Only by doing this can we find our weakness and shortcomings when we fail. We can also get relief and warmth when we are unlucky. This can help us find our courage to overcome the difficulties we may face, and receive great impetus to move on. We should treat our frustration and misfortune in our life in the other way just as President Roosevelt did. We should be grateful all the time and keep having a healthy attitude to our life forever, keep having perfect characters and enterprising spirit. Being grateful is not only a kind of comfort, not an escape from life and nor thinking of winning in spirit like Ah Q. Being grateful is a way to sing for our life which comes just from our love and hope.

我想,不论是遭遇失败还是不幸,我们都应该感谢生活。只有这样,失败后,我们才能发现自己的缺点和不足,不幸时,我们还能感受到安慰和温暖。这些就能帮我们找回勇气,战胜困难,并获取前进的强大推动力。我们应像罗斯福总统那样,换一个角度去看待生活中的失败和挫折,永远对生活充满感恩,才能时刻保持健康的心态,积极地生活,并能保持完美的人格和不断进取的精神。感恩不仅仅是一种精神慰藉,也不是对现实的规避,更不是阿Q的精神胜利法。感恩源于我们对生活的热爱和希望,它是我们歌颂生活的一种方式,作文网《关于感恩节的英语作文》。

When we put a small piece of alum into muddy water, we can see the alum can soon make the water clear. If each of us has an attitude of being grateful, we’ll be able to get rid of impulse, upset, dissatisfaction and misfortune. Being grateful can bring us a better and more beautiful life.

把一小块明矾放入混沌的水中,我们发现,水很快就澄清了。如果人人都有一颗感恩的心,就能沉淀许多的浮躁和不安,消融许多的不满和不幸。感恩能让我们的生活变得更加美好。

环保倡议书二

Recently, a debate concerning whether we should recycle our textbooks or not has appeared in our school. As far as I am concerned, we ought to recycle textbooks as a way of protecting environment.

For one thing, recycling textbooks can not only save natural resources such as wood, but also reduce the waste of material. For another, the notes on the textbooks, made by the graduated students are of much help to those who want to reuse the books. As a current research show , recycling books has been proved an effective way in Australia, which obtains a quantity of benefits from this new-developed method.

To sum up, I consider recycling textbooks useful and helpful. I hope it can come into being in our daily life as soon as possible.

Halloween (or Halloween) is an annual holiday observed on October 31, which commonly includes activities such as trick-or-treating, attending costume parties, carving jack-o-lanterns, bonfires, apple bobbing, visiting haunted attractions, playing pranks, telling scary stories, and watching horror films.

History

Historian Nicholas Rogers, exploring the origins of Halloween, notes that while "some folklorists have detected its origins in the Roman feast of Pomona, the goddess of fruits and seeds, or in the festival of the dead called Parentalia, it is more typically linked to the Celtic festival of Samhain, whose original spelling was Samuin (pronounced sow-an or sow-in)".The name is derived from Old Irish and means roughly "summers end".Snap-Apple Night (1832) by Daniel Maclise.Depicts apple bobbing and divination games at a Halloween party in Blarney, Ireland.The name Halloween and many of its present-day traditions derive from the Old English era.

The word Halloween is first attested in the 16th century and represents a Scottish variant of the fuller All-Hallows-Even ("evening"), that is, the night before All Hallows Day.[4] Although the phrase All Hallows is found in Old English (ealra hālgena mæssedæg, mass-day of all saints), All-Hallows-Even is itself not attested until 1556.

11月1日 -- 万圣节 All Saints Day

11月2日 -- 墨西哥的鬼节 Day of Death

万圣节(All Saints Day, All Hallows Day或Hallowmas) 是每年11月1日的欧美大节日。

Halloween 是 All Hallows Eve 的缩写,万圣节前夜的意思,指10月31日的晚上。

For thousands of years people have been celebrating different holidays and festivals at the end of October. The Celts celebrated it as Samhain (pronounced “sow-in”, with “sow” rhyming with cow)。 The Irish English dictionary published by the Irish Texts Society defines the word as follows:

“Samhain, All Hallowtide, the feast of the dead in Pagan and Christian times, signalizing the close of harvest and the initiation of the winter season, lasting till May, during which troops (esp. the Fiann) were quartered. Faeries were imagined as particularly active at this season. From it the half year is reckoned. also called Feile Moingfinne (Snow Goddess)。(1) The Scottish Gaelis Dictionary defines it as ”Hallowtide. The Feast of All Soula. Sam + Fuin = end of summer.“(2) Contrary to the information published by many organizations, there is no archaeological or literary evidence to indicate that Samhain was a deity. The Celtic Gods of the dead were Gwynn ap Nudd for the British, and Arawn for the Welsh. The Irish did not have a ”lord of death“ as such.

The Celts believed that every year on the last day of October, the souls of the dead visited the earth.www.

When the Romans conquered the Celts in the first century A.D., they added parts of their festivals, Feralia and Pomona to the tradition. Feralia was a festival to honor the dead and Pomona was a harvest festival named after the goddess of fruit (apples) and trees.

Around the eigth century, the Christian church made November 1 All Saints Day to honor all of the saints that didnt have a special day of their own. Over the years these festivals combined, the mass held on All Saints Day was called Allhallowmas (the mass of all Hallows - saintly people)。 The night before was known as All Hallows Eve. Eventually this name became Halloween.

In the 1800s, as a lot of people emigrated to the U.S., the holidays and traditions of different cultures merged. Halloween was not always a happy time. October 31, or the night before took on other names. Some called it Devils or Hell night, to others it was mischief night. Here in Vermont, the night before is called cabbage night. To some people this became a time to play tricks on others. Some of these tricks were not fun at all. Luckily, community groups and individuals took action and started to change Halloween into a family event. Dressing up in costumes and going ”trick or treating“, costume parades, community parties and Fall festivals are some of the ways that Halloween is celebrated today.

Other countries have different Fall festivals to honor the deceased.

The Festival of the Dead is one of the most important happenings in both Palermo and the rest of Sicily. The second of November is a festival day for the children of Palermo as, according to tradition,they were made to believe that their dead relatives would return the night before and leave them traditional sweets and cakes on the table (Martorana fruit, which is almond paste made into the shape of different fruit)。 They would also receive puppets of boiled sugar and toys. Its one way of keeping the memory of their dead relatives and loved ones alive.

一年中最”闹鬼“的这天夜里,各种妖魔鬼怪、 海盗、 外星来客和巫婆们纷纷出动。在基督纪元以前,凯尔特人在夏未举行仪式感激上苍和太阳的恩惠。

当时的占卜者点燃并施巫术以驱赶据说在四周游荡的妖魔怪。后来,罗马人用果仁和苹果来庆祝的丰收节与凯尔特人的10月31日溶合了。

在中世纪,人们穿上动物造型的服饰、 戴上可怕的面具是想在万圣节前夜驱赶黑夜中的鬼怪。尽管後来基督教代替了凯尔特和罗马的宗教活动,早期的习俗还是保留下来了。现在,孩子们带着开玩笑的心理穿戴上各种服饰和面具参加万圣节舞会,这些舞会四周的墙上往往悬挂着用纸糊的巫婆、 黑猫、 鬼怪和尸骨,窗前和门口则吊着龇牙裂嘴或是面目可憎的南瓜灯笼。孩子们还常常试图咬住悬挂着的苹果。

美国和加拿大的孩子们在这天穿戴上古怪的服饰去按邻居家的门铃,并按传统发出”是款待我还是要我耍花招“的威胁。邻居们不管是否被吓着,总是准备了一些糖果、 苹果等点心,孩子们则一一收入自己的袋内。

万圣节其实不是基督教的节日。2500年前,爱尔兰的凯尔特人(Celts)以10月31日为一年的最後一日,11月1日是新一年的开始,也象徵冬天的来临。

凯尔特人相信死亡之神Samhain在10月31日的晚上会和鬼魂一起重返人间,寻找替身。因此他们燃点火炬,焚烧动物以作为死亡之神的献礼。还会用动物的头或皮毛做成的服饰打扮自己,发出古怪的声音,使死亡之神认不出自己,避过灾难。这就是今天万圣节化妆舞会的由来。过了当晚,鬼魂回到阴间,一切回复平静。

基督教兴起,教徒沿袭万圣节传统,万圣节的意义慢慢改为纪念为献身於神而死亡的人(holies)。

附带一提,11月2日是墨西哥的鬼节(Los Dias de los Muertos, Day of the Dead)。当天家家户户都烘烤动物造型的面包和煮鸡肉等食物,并在供桌上面放置玩具,以期待早逝的孩童们回到家中玩耍。也可以陈列鲜花、 水果、 照片和彩绘的骷髅头,接待仙逝长辈。

墨西哥人认为,鬼魂和人一样需要及时行乐,所以鬼节宛若一场嘉年华会,人们带着面具到处游走,吃骷髅形状的糖,面包上还装饰有鬼的形像。黄昏时刻,全家人一起到墓园清理墓地,妇女们或跪或坐整夜祈祷,男人们交谈或唱歌,在子夜中烛光忽闪忽灭充满了整个墓园,游唱歌者为已逝亡者的灵魂高歌吟唱。

As time goes by, people are being busier and busier with working, such as

signing their contracts, meeting their customers, drawing up the balance sheets

of their companies and so on. In this circumstance, people forget our most

excellent skill--smile.

随着时间的推移,人们在工作上越来越忙,如签订合同,见客户,制定企业资产负债表等。在这种情况下,人们忘记了我们最优秀的技能——微笑。

There are a great many kinds of power of smile. First of all, common touch

can be showed by a kind smile. Imagine that you go to a company to attend an

audition. With a confident smile, you are more likely to answer the question

better. Furthermore, smile can eliminate angry. As a philosopher said, smile

before you begin to get angry. The last but not the least, it reflects calm of a

person when he is in danger or in trouble.

微笑的力量很多。首先,微笑可以作为平易近人的一种表现。想象一下,你去一个公司参加面试。带着自的微笑,你有可能会更好地回答问题。此外,微笑可以消除愤怒。一个哲学家说过,在你开始生气之前微笑。最后但并非最不重要的,当一个人处于危险或者麻烦的时候,微笑反映了一个人的镇定。

The beneficial aspects cannot be stated completely in this passage. But you

can understand its power when you smile.

Ecological civilization is a form of human civilization. Human science and technology in the ongoing progress, continuous development, but people have forgotten, people and ecological civilization coexist, promote each other, coexistence.

Although before we are not very focused on the ecological environment, but that time not so many chemical plants, commercial rooms. With the change of the times, many factories unbridled emissions of toxic gases, sewage. Many developers develop green land, cut trees, build a lot of houses. So that the environment has been greatly polluted.

Now the living standard has improved, and every family can afford the car. A lot of people who work to open the car, home from the place near work, do not want to run, to open the car. Far away do not want to take the bus too crowded, but do not want to ride, too tired to have a car. We can know how much car a day to discharge the exhaust ah.

Although the development of the times, scientific and technological progress will cause harm to the ecological environment, but more importantly, human beings in the life unknowingly harm the ecological environment.

In my parents a child, my father often go to the river to pick water to drink, and now are afraid to drink, the water was contaminated. Take the pond near my house, the water is very clear at the beginning, but it does not take long to start to become turbid, because all the people living near the garbage will be on the river bank, the garbage will fall into the river in. But many people disagree, feel that the point of garbage does not matter. If everyone is doing that, the world has become a garbage dump.

Now young people are not as important as the elderly to protect the environment. Once I went out and saw a grandmother, her hair gray, his face is wrinkled, the grandmother bent over the garbage truck, from time to time but also to stop picking up trash. Crossing the people will cover his nose to escape, someone bought something, bags casually throw. And some ready to garbage into the trash, but do not look at the garbage is not thrown into it. Grandmother pulled the car to the middle to pick up trash, then just from the fork in a car opened a brakes, almost hit the grandmother. The driver did not say sorry, but also rushed cursed: "how do you walk? Eyes blind?" Readily the cigarette head and some garbage from the car thrown out to go away. Society is everyone, the environment is everyone, we need to protect together, alone is not enough a person. Only one person picking up trash, others are making garbage, this is also a mess.

Our mother earth, how many predecessors for his decoration, and we are torturing her, let her gradually aging!

Protect the environment, from my start, so that every side of the uncivilized things are naught!

导语:现在环境污染问题越来越严重了,下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的关于环保话题英语作文,欢迎阅读与借鉴,谢谢!

The world we live in is becoming more and more intolerable because of environmental destruction. Bird flu and Sars are two typical examples that environmental destruction may threaten our life. Besides, forest destruction , water and air pollution result in decrease of planting land and unpleasant weather.

Serious as the problem seems, we can come up with some measures to deal with it. First of all, the authorities should adopt the policy of "sustainable development", and laws concerning environmental protection should be put into effect and enforced strictly just as our government has been doing.

What s more, every citizen should realize the seriousness of the problem and make concerted efforts to protect our environment. In addition, planting trees helps improve and beautify the environment.(约120字)

Mother attaches great importance to the growth of I, every morning to go to work, come back at night, already very tired, but also trained my ability of learning. She gave up her job, for me to make a home every night to supervise my study. To work closer to home, my mother not afraid of hard work, run back and forth among the various sites. In addition to these, in order to save more money, she tired every day. She is a good mother, and a great mother.

In my impression, my father is particularly mild one, my mother is responsible for my study, my father is responsible for my extracurricular sports. In order to let me do more exercise in the holiday, he gave up several important meetings, took me to sport. He said: "during the holidays should not be lying down, sitting alone, want to go out more exercise. Exercise more to have a healthier body. For example the examination, you body is not healthy, it tests too." In addition to these, dad taught me a lot of extra-curricular knowledge, for me, he is like a "encyclopedia". Have all kinds of knowledge.

Grandpa, "head of interior" in my house. Up early do breakfast for us every day in the morning, do the housework. Noon also not idle, help grandma watering the flowers, mop the floor... In a word, grandpa in every day is very busy. Take care of my life every day, ten years like one day. I think my grandpa is very great.

Grandma is responsible for all kinds of household chores, sewing clothes, tidy up home... Is she in the busy every day, the room is in good order, clean and tidy. Grandma in addition to do household chores, also taught me a lot of life philosophy: perhaps not very deep, but in life, work well.

我的家庭有五个成员:爸爸、妈妈、爷爷、奶奶,当然还有我。每个人都有各自的性格特点,组成一个幸福的家庭。

妈妈非常重视我的成长,每天早上上班,晚上回来,本来就非常劳累了,还要训练我的学习能力。为了我她放弃了外地的工作,就是为了每天晚上能回到家监督我的学习。为了让工作地点离家近一些,妈妈不畏辛苦,在各种工地之中来回跑。除了这些,她为了多攒些钱,每天劳累的要命。她是一个好妈妈,伟大的妈妈。

在我印象中,爸爸是特别温和的一个人,妈妈负责我的学习,爸爸则负责我的课外运动。为了让我在假期中多做运动,他放弃了好几次重要的会议,带着我去运动。他说:“在假期里不能光躺着、坐着,要多出去运动。多运动才能有更健康的身体。比如说你该考试了,身体不健康就考不好了。”除了这些,爸爸还教给我很多课外知识,对于我来说,他像一个“百科全书”。拥有各种知识。

爷爷,在我家“主管内务”。每天早上起的早早的为我们做早饭,做家务。中午也不闲着,帮奶奶浇花,拖地……总之,爷爷在每天都是非常忙的。每天都照顾我的生活,十年如一日。我觉得我的爷爷很伟大。

奶奶负责各种家务活,缝衣服,收拾家……每天都是她在忙碌,屋子里才会井井有条、干净整洁。奶奶除了做家务以外,还教给我很多人生哲理:也许不很深奥,但在生活中,很管用。

我爱我家!家里有我的亲人、我的牵挂。是我最重要的财富!
