篇1:关于网购英语作文初中
全文共 968 字
+ 加入清单With the rapid development of the internet, shopping on the Internet has
become a fashion in our daily life. According to the latest data, over two
hundred million people used to buy commodities on the Internet. Some of the
students also join the group.
There are many advantages about shopping on the Internet. Just by a click
of the mouse, you can buy whatever you like without going outdoors. You don’t
need to worry about being trapped in the crowed people and cars, or wasting too
much time on walking. When shopping on line, you can choose from more varieties
of goods, whose price are generally lower.
Every coin has two sides. Its disadvantages are obvious, too. On one hand,
it’s very easy for you to buy goods different from the pictures you see on the
internet,which is quite disappointed. On the other hand, shopping on the
Internet may cause people to buy commodities that are not badly needed. It’s a
waste of money.
After all, I really enjoy shopping on the Internet.

篇6:小王子初中英语读后感
全文共 2282 字
+ 加入清单Main Characters: The little prince, the pilot, the rose, the fox, the snake, etc.
Despite I’ve not in my childhood yet, I still prefer reading fairy-tale stories. The tales, which accompany with me in my old days, often make me think of some precious experience and sensation which only belong to children. This summer I’ve review this kind of tale, which was published in 1940. It’s the world-famous fairy-tale by the French author, Antoine de St-Exupery, The Little Prince.
As many other fairy-tales, the outline of The Little Prince is not very complex. ―I‖, the narrator of the story, is a pilot whose plane has something wrong and lands in the Sahara. In this occasion, the pilot makes the acquaintance of the little prince, a little boy from another planet, the Asteroid B612. The little prince has escaped from his tiny planet, because he has some quarrel with a rose, which grows on his planet. In that case he left his own planet and took an exploration at some neighbor asteroids.
On his all-alone journey, the little prince meets different kinds of people, which includes a king, a conceited man, a tippler, a businessman, a lamplighter and a geographer. From these people he gets a conclusion that the grown-ups are very odd. Following the instruction of the geographer, he descends in the Sahara, on the earth.
Traveling on the earth, the little prince, who sees a garden of five-thousand roses, is overcome with astonishment and sadness, as he considers his rose is unique in the universe before. At that time a fox appears. The fox, who tell the little prince about the meaning of the word ―tame‖, becomes his new friend. At the time to say farewell, the fox makes him know that his rose is unique because she is his rose and tamed by him. From that the little prince begins to treasure friendship and be responsible to his rose.
At the anniversary day of his descent of the earth, rejecting the pilot’s advice, he goes back to his own planet by bite of a snake. ―It’s too far. I can not carry this body with me. It’s too heavy.‖ he said. He tells his friend, the pilot, he must be responsible for his rose, so he has to go back. At the end the author doesn’t tell us the ending directly. Maybe it’s more significant for us to imagine, and for more, think over.

我的梦想说起来恐怕有点荒唐,我的梦想是做一名歌手。恐怕您看到我写到这里会嘲笑吧,但我还是不放弃。因为我相信这世上没有完不成的梦,没有实现不了的想。尽管我已经被大家笑很多次了但我不放弃。因为这就是我一个追梦的女孩。
妈妈曾经问过我我有梦想吗?我高兴的回答着妈妈我有。可没想到回答我的却是妈妈的讥讽。她生气的说道:“你呀一天到晚不好好学习就知道瞎想!”我很生气因为我觉得就算你我不赞同我,我还是会为了我的梦想加油。从那以后我便对自己的梦想更加坚持了。
妈妈的不赞同的想法是她而不是我,所以我会为了我的梦想努力。他们嘲笑是他们,我努力是我。我和他们不同。我是我,他是他,所以他们的嘲笑我早已不放在心里。因为我只会为了我的梦想而努力。
你有梦想吗?曾经的我也没有梦想。那是因为我不知道人来到世界的意义是什么?但现在我懂了,那是因为上上帝给了你一次机会,给了你一次实现梦想的机会,你一定要好好珍惜这次机会。不管在以后的路上有多艰难请都不要放弃。因为人生是色彩缤纷的,假如一帆风顺。那颜色岂不单一?

reasons why everyones personality is so different. If your parents love you and
care about you, then your personality will be healthy and happy. If your parents

+ 加入清单Last Qingming Festival,i return home to worship my grandfather.Qingming
Festival is a folk Festival.In the past,the Qingming Festival was called "Arbor
Day". But Today, Chinese visit their family graves to tend to any underbrush
that has grown. Weeds are pulled, and dirt swept away, and the family will set
out offerings of food and spirit money. Unlike the sacrifices at a familys home
altar, the offerings at the tomb usually consist of dry, bland food. One theory
is that since any number of ghosts rome around a grave area, the less appealing
food will be consumed by the ancestors, and not be plundered by strangers.
With the passing of time, this celebration of life became a day to the
honor past ancestors. Following folk religion, the Chinese believed that the
spirits of deceased ancestors looked after the family. Sacrifices of food and
spirit money could keep them happy, and the family would prosper through good
harvests and more children.

篇19:以梦想为话题英语作文
全文共 2740 字
+ 加入清单Ambition is the decision one makes and the resolution with which he carries out that decision. It provides us with the required driving force to accomplish any undertakings in our life. Just as Joseph Epstein, a famous American writer put it, “And as we decide and choose, so are our lives formed.” Indeed, once we make up our minds to choose to do something, then our life becomes meaningful and specifically orientated. This notion of life, as far as I observe, is closest to truth and does apply to almost all aspects of life.
First things first, ambition renders us a sense of mission. No matter what decision you make you have to be responsible for your choice. Your choice procures you a sense of orientation, or more specially a sense of mission. And only a strong mission may enable one to accomplish greatness. Caesar of the ancient Roman Empire was urged by his ambition “I came, I saw, I conquered.” And became an unrivaled empire builder in the history of Rome. John Milton, stimulated always by his ambition that aimed at writing some “mighty lines” which England would unwillingly forget, had in due time secured his position as the second Shakespeare in the history of English literature.
In the second place, ambition can bring one’s potentials to the full. Ambition may well serve as a catalyst activating one’s dormant potentials. Without ambition one’s potentials will remain slumbering like a dormant volcano. A case in point is Ms Zhang Haidi, a Chinese Helen Keller. It was her ambition to be a useful person has turned the almost paralyzed Zhang Haidi into a well-accomplished figure whose achievements would dwarf those of some normal people aim at the sun, though, at worst, they may probably land on the moon.
Influential as it is upon us, however, ambition must be channeled in the right direction. If wrongly directed, one’s ambition may bring havoc on him and others. Hitler, whose ambition was to conquer Europe by whattever evil means, finally turned him into a demon. It was this demon that almost cast Europe into an unfathomable abyss of anguish and suffering. Another case is Macbeth whose ambition was to become the king of Scotland. However, his ambition was materialized by the murder of King Duncan. Consequently, unbearable guilt and psychological agony drove him to his tragic doom.
To sum up, ambition can benefit us tremendously if wisely and correctly channeled, otherwise it may ruin others and ourselves. A poet says: life can be bad; life can be good; life can be dirty; life can be sad,; life can even be painful. In my mind’s eye, a person can make his life beautiful, meaningful and rewarding and stand out as a respectable personage if he is motivated by a well-orientated ambition.
