英语作文健康的生活方式80词热门20篇

前几天从电视里看到旅游胜地马尔代夫将会在不久的将来被水彻底淹没。这都是环境恶化的结果，各国领导人提出了“过低碳生活”，我不知道什么是“低碳”，但我知道一定和保护环境有关，于是我就请教了妈妈。我们还达成协议，我们家也要为保护环境出力，过低碳生活。哈哈……不管我们干什么，时刻牢记：要低碳，要低碳。

星期天早晨，我在餐桌前，闻到了一股香喷喷的鸡蛋味。哈哈，今天一定吃鸡蛋，果然妈妈从厨房里端出了一盘鸡蛋，但我总觉得今天的鸡蛋怪怪的，原来，妈妈平时都是用三个大鸡蛋的，今天却只用了二个小鸡蛋，我问妈妈为什么，妈妈说：“要低碳一点嘛，吃两个鸡蛋跟吃三个鸡蛋不是差不多吗？只要吃饱了就行了。”

放学回家后，我打开牛奶时不小心把妈妈的衣服弄脏了，妈妈就拿了一张餐巾纸擦了擦，然后便把餐巾纸顺手扔到了垃圾桶，看到这里我立刻从垃圾桶中把纸捡起来了。过了一会儿，妈妈洗好手正准备再拿一张餐巾纸擦手时，我立刻阻止说：“等等，我们应该要低碳一点，要珍惜纸张，拿你刚刚用过的那张纸吧，上面的是纯牛奶，不仅不脏，还能护肤呢!”妈妈看着我拖着调笑着说：“知道了，我们应该要低碳！”妈妈边说还把我喝过的牛奶的塑料管保留起来让我下次再用。

地球环境的改善需要我们共同努力，从身边做起！现在每当我听见“我们应该”就会马上想到“要低碳。”

It was the first day of our summer holiday. All of us were very happy. Why? Because we have one month to do things we love to do. We are free. Although we have some homework.

Though my daily life is extremely monotonous, I try hard to adapt myself to it. Why? Because I intend to be a good student. I wish to render service to my country.I get up at six o’clock every day. After I wash my face and brush my teeth, I begin to review my lessons. I go to school at seven o’clock.After school is over, I return home. We usually have supper at seven o’clock.Then I begin to do my homework. I want to finish it before I go to bed.

虽然，我的日常生活十分单调，但我却竭力设法去适应它。为什么?因为，我打算做一个好学生，希望将来为国家服务。我每天六点起床、洗脸刷牙后，就开始复习功课，七点钟我就去上学。放学后，我就回家了。我们通常在七点钟吃晚餐，之后我就开始做家庭作业，希望在睡觉前把它做完。

打开知识大门需要两种方法，一是学习，二是读书。

自古以来，人们通过读书学到了许多许多道理与知识，如：孝、义、礼、仪。读书，也让文人墨克驻足，留下了许多脍炙人口的千古名句。如：杜甫的读书破万卷，下笔如有神。还有许多不知名的诗人的读书名言。

在国外，读书名言也十分盛行：高尔基的书是人类进步的阶梯等。因为我是一个酷爱读书的人，所以读书已经成为我的一种生活方式。我读书时有一种好习惯，我会将一些精彩的语句摘抄下来，比方说：我正在看书，突然看到一段文字“我正心烦意乱，突然门铃响了，我打开门，一下子呆住了，面前站着一个外星人，它身材矮小，细胳膊细腿的，头却很大，戴着头盔，头盔里露出两只大眼睛，胸前的小匣子说着普通话‘小同学，千万别害怕，我们是从天极星来的，是你们的朋友’。”我赶忙拿了笔记本抄了下来，接着，我又摘抄了许多好段，有写人的、写事的……读书还能让我开旷视野。

我在《中国国家地理图鉴》中知道了中国有960万平方千米。在百科全书中，我还知道了，中国是世界上的第三大国，第一大国是俄罗斯，第二大国是加拿大以及尼加拉瓜是世界上最大的瀑布。最后，我在历史书上看到了中国的历史。

读书，还给我带来了许多感悟。这种感悟源于各类书籍，在《上下五千年》中，我仿佛看到了中国大陆上曾经出现过的那些国家的辉煌成就，又看到了那些国家的黑暗。于是我总认为唐朝的覆灭是不应该有的，它毁于宦官乱政，是我见过的最悲惨的一个朝代。

读书，还让我在礼仪上大胆的认识了，我的书中有介绍如何吃西餐的，帮助我解决了一个难题，那次，爸爸和他的同事带着各自的孩子去吃西餐，除了年纪大点的和我外，其他的孩子都不会吃，使我脸上大放光彩。读书，还让我在外交方面大于进步。以前，我是个不敢与外人接触的孩子，自从读书使我在外交方面进步后，我在也不怕问路，招待客人……当然，我也翻过一些大人的书，那些有关经商的书，上面还说了如何招揽生意呢，是呀，读书，可以为我们打开知识王国的大门，可以让你从无知变得渊博。

来吧，来读书吧！让读书帮你跨入21世纪新主人的行列！

hello everybody.Today Im glad to be here to give a speech about my fresh experience in China Agriculture University.

First I must say the campus life is really different from what I have experienced in high school.For instance,I used to lean upon my dormitory teacher to wake me up on time.But now I have to set several alarm clocks to make myself could hear them in the morning otherwise I would miss my class.And then even worse there would be nobody remind me

except my teacher!So the differences are everywhere and I could easily find them.The change of life is great and its wonderful:I have more time of my own and the rights to decide how I live.

My campus activities are rich and colorful.Learning English has become a habit to me cause I plan to study abroad in next few years.Playing Guzheng is my favorite activity.I have kept on practising it since I was a little girl and I wish to win more competitions in my campus life.

Our university has the first level equipments and the most experienced teachers,also has the best students(laugh).I consider it to be a honor that Ive got a chance to study here and I sincerely hope that we could live wonderful lives in our campus!

My life in school is like a candy. Sweet brings me lots of happiness.

The Chinese class made me know many words and read a lot of texts. In math class, I became good friends with numbers. Every time I get a teacher award “ smiley face ” I will stick it on the textbook.

Class is over. I play games and rope skipping with my classmates. Happy laughter floats on the campus.

My school life is rich and colorful. I love my school.

We may obtain knowledge by reading. The more books we read, the more we accumulate the knowledge. Is it right? I dont think so. Its not wide reading but useful reading that leads to excellence.

And only good books can benifit us.So choosing books is very important for reading. Many students spend a lot of time reading legends and swordsman novels.Its a waste of time. Some students even read some bad books and it is harmful for them.

So be as careful of the books we read, as of the company we keep, for our habit and character will be as much influened by the former as by the latter.

University culture 大学传统

Singles Day was first celebrated at various universities in Nanjing, capital city of Jiangsu Province during the 1990s. It got the name Singles Day because the date is comprised of four "ones". These college students have since graduated, and carried their university tradition into society. Singles Day is now a special day for all fashionable youths.

The main way to celebrate Singles Day is to have dinner with your single friends, but its important that each person pay their own way to show their independence. People also hold blind date parties in an attempt to bid goodbye to their single lives.

光棍节最先在90年代的江苏南京各大高校兴起。之所以叫“光棍节”是因为这一天的日子有四个光棍一样的“1”。大学生们毕业了，把这个传统带到了社会上，光棍节就成了时尚青年们的一个特殊节日。

主流的庆祝方式就是和光棍朋友们一起搓一顿，而且一定要实行AA制。为了脱离单身，人们也会举办相亲会，介绍单身男女认识。

Creative celebration 新奇庆祝

For breakfast on Singles Day, singles often eat four youtiao (deep-fried dough sticks) representing the four "ones" in "11.11" and one baozi (steamed stuffed buns) representing the middle dot.

Many singles also choose to say goodbye to their single lives on this day. Many attend blind date parties and many people choose to marry on this day. In addition to meaning single the four ones of the date can also mean only one as in the only one for me. Some people will use this date and this meaning to tell their special someone that they are the only one in their heart.

光棍节的早上，单身青年们会吃四根油条，代表11.11的四个“1”，再吃一个包子，代表11和11之间的那个点。

很多单身朋友选择在这一天告别单身，一些人参加相亲会，一些人则在今天结婚。四个“1”不仅可以代表单身，还可以代表“唯一”，这也成了一些人的爱情告白日。
