Of course the income is modest, but on the other hand, quite stable. I keep growing all the time. I find great rewards both monetarily and mentally.
I have many hobbies: reading books, raising pets, making dresses, etc. I like volleyball very much, but I cant play it very often, because it is a team sport. It is difficult to get enough people to play volleyball with me. Its a shame. I derive great pleasure out of my hobbies.
Generally speaking, I am open, honest and easy-going. I hate hypocrisy and injustice. Fairness is very important to me. I try to be fair in everything I do. I have great appreciation for physical and spiritual independence. I am a bit disorganized and impatient sometimes.

我的兴趣爱好广泛,比如:读书,养宠物,制作服装,等等。虽然我非常喜欢打排球,但是由于这是一项团队运动,我不能经常去打。要找到足够多的人同我一起打排球是很难的。真遗憾!兴趣爱好给我带来无穷的乐趣。

一个十二岁的女孩,高高的个子,瓜子型的脸上镶嵌着一对大眼睛,长长的睫毛显得大眼睛十分灵动,不仅如此,她还遗传妈妈,双眼皮宽宽的,但是她也像妈妈一样戴上了眼镜。她有宽宽的脑门,鼻子下面是一张能说会道的嘴巴。你猜出这是谁了吗?其实,这就是我!
我在学校是一个乖巧听话,令老师喜欢的孩子,谁会相信这样一个女孩回到家就摇身一变,成了顽皮,又带着无理取闹的丫头了,但这却是事实。
在家里,我和妈妈吵吵闹闹是常有的事,因为互不服气。有一次,我和妈妈去参加她朋友的婚礼,当时下了雨,天气较凉,但我依然想穿着裙子去,妈妈不肯,为了这事,我们吵了起来。“可以穿,坐车去又不冷!”“不可能,你想感冒吗?”妈妈瞪着我,眼睛像葡萄一样大,我则毫不示弱,昂着头像小斗鸡似的,吵个不停。最后妈妈要发怒了,我一看,赶紧妥协,撇着嘴,带着满腔不情愿说:“不穿,行了吧。”这就是我,双面性格的我。

篇14:关于介绍中国的餐桌礼仪的英语作文
全文共 1541 字
+ 加入清单Table Manners
The main difference between Chinese and western eating habits is that unlike the West, where everyone has their own plate of food, in China the dishes are placed on the table and everybody shares. If you are being treated by a Chinese host, be prepared for a ton of food. Chinese are very proud of their culture of cuisine and will do their best to show their hospitality.
And sometimes the Chinese host use their chopsticks to put food in your bowl or plate. This is a sign of politeness. The appropriate thing to do would be to eat the whatever-it-is and say how yummy it is. If you feel uncomfortable with this, you can just say a polite thank you and leave the food there.
Eating No-nos
Dont stick your chopsticks upright in the rice bowl.Instead,lay them on your dish. The reason for this is that when somebody dies,the shrine to them contains a bowl of sand or rice with two sticks of incense stuck upright in it. So if you stick your chopsticks in the rice bowl, it looks like this shrine and is equivalent to wishing death upon a person at the table!
Make sure the spout of the teapot is not facing anyone. It is impolite to set the teapot down where the spout is facing towards somebody. The spout should always be directed to where nobody is sitting, usually just outward from the table.
Dont tap on your bowl with your chopsticks.Beggars tap on their bowls, so this is not polite.Also, when the food is coming too slow in a restarant, people will tap their bowls. If you are in someones home,it is like insulting the cook.

+ 加入清单Good afternoon everyone, my name is XXX, I’m 29 years old, and I’m from Beijing.
I’d like to introduce myself through the next points:
About working: There are three main aspects of my daily work:
The first, I teach courses such as basic laws and politics. I can feel the strong responsibilities on a teacher, because I have to not only teach knowledge well, but also let students know how to be a good person.
The second, I’m responsible for some administrative work, such as students recruiting and employment. The main majors in our college are urban metro, car repairing, transportation management, logistics and so on.
I think the students recruiting and employment are very important to our college as well as to students and their parents, the serious working attitude and consciousness are highly required.
The third part of my daily work is to be a head teacher, there is an idea I respect very much: there is no bad students, but only bad teachers. If a family is a component of our society, then the class is a component of the school.
When we judge a class good or bad, the key ruler is the organization and management ability of a head teacher, as well as the good working attitude and teaching methods. A head teacher is the pathfinder on the way of students growing, as a young teacher, I’ll try my best to be an excellent head teacher.
About daily life: I have a wide range of hobbies, especially sports and reading.
Sport: We have very good sports facilities in our college, I play badminton every Tuesday, and play basketball every Friday. I think that sports is the best flavor of our life, it can release the pressure and relax our mood.
Reading: I have good reading habits since I was a child, I like the famous four classic very much, and I’m also interested in some biography and news commentaries. I think books can help people being mature, they affect me gradually.
And of course, I have the confused moment, but I think the difficulties can help me grow. Thank you.

People may know that the workers day is about having a rest on that day, but most of them dont know how this day comes from and the story behind it.
In the late of 18 century, the cruel capitalists in order to make more money, they demanded their employers to work all day, but only paid them with low salaries.
