未来的我:

你好!你在遥远的那边生活得好吗?

我经常想象未来会是什么样子。不知是否有成片的树林和成群的动物?是否有会飞的汽车和飘在空中的房屋?在我的想象中,未来非常遥远,和现在也有很大不同。

但是我知道,我们离未来还很遥远,有许多现实的问题都需要得到解决。比如:现在由于地球母亲的资源在慢慢枯竭,全球在逐渐变暖,天不像以前那么蓝,树林也没有以前那么多,地球上的臭氧层越越稀薄,无法阻止紫外线幅射怎么办?如果那个星球上没有一年四季怎么办?地球上生存的人口达到150亿、200亿人的时候,又会怎样生存?

为了使未来像我们想象的那样,我们要想尽办法绿化环境,保护地球母亲,节约能源,努力实现现有资源的可持续利用。虽然有消息说,科学家们有可能找到地球以外的适合生物生存的星球,但仍然有许多新的问题产生。在没有找到一个与地球相似的适合人类生存的星球以前,我们仍然要保护好我们赖以生存的地球母亲。

为了实现未来这些美好的理想和愿望,我们还要加倍努力。

未来,虽然咱们相距非常遥远,但我多么希望能够穿越时空,早日与你相见,亲眼看到天越来越蓝,水越来越清,人类与自然实现和谐发展,国家与世界共同进步。

篇4:要相信自己小学生

诗仙赋诗,好酒难免;桀纣之君,灭亡难免;人生在世,议论难免。对于同一人,同一事,便有千种说法,万般议论。这个时候,要坚定自己的信念,相信自己。 Poetry poetry, good wine is inevitable;For the same person, the same thing, there are thousands of claims and discussions.At this time, strengthen your belief and believe in yourself.

人生要面临许多选择,不论多么犹豫,都要下个定论。这种选择别人帮不了你,只能自己去选,因为选完的路也要你自己去走。不必在乎别人的议论,要相信自己,只有你自己了解你真正需要什么,适应什么样的环境。就像一棵从深山移植到公园里的树,不管游客是夸赞,是讽刺,既然选择了来到公园,就要把自己最蓬勃的一面展示给所有人。

议论并不都是正确的,它不是真理的象征,它只不过是其他人的一种看法罢了,未必及自身领悟的透彻。相信自己,拨开云雾,你会发现阳光下的大路是多么宽阔。当年的绘画大师梵高,也一度被人误解。人们纷纷议论他,否定他,嘲笑他。说他是个疯子,说他的意境太偏激。梵高也许根本不在乎这些议论,也许厌倦了这些议论,他相信自己的感觉,画自己想画的。议论总有结束的那一天,而在议论的余灰中,梵高画作真正的价值大放光芒。也许这一天来的有些迟,梵高已无法亲身体会,但这一切都来自他的相信自己。

议论无处不在。只要你的生命活动还在继续,就有议论随之而来。清晨出门的微微一笑,有的人当做是和善的笑,有的人偏偏当做是诡异的笑,只要自己明白是礼貌待人就好。若是过分在意他人的议论,不相信自己,只会平添自己的烦恼。再对着镜子练上半个月,那真是小题大做。人家说你张扬,你就无故自卑;人家说你错,就认为自己一定不对。一个人身边所围绕的议论,就像是月光下的影子,你永远甩不掉它,却也不必把它当真,毕竟是虚幻的,何必在意虚幻的东西呢?相信自己吧!

议论使人迷茫,看淡议论,使人开朗。相信自己,你会发现走过的路鲜花遍地,香气怡人;相信自己,你会看见前方泉水叮咚,水光涟漪。是残花败柳,还是柳暗花明,只在一念之间。要相信自己!

Usually, the Valentine’s Day has no connection with the traditional Chinese

festival, but this year, the Lantern festival falls on the same day with the

lovers’ day. Well, some young will face a dilemma,especially for those who

doesn’t get married. Should they spend the day with their families or their hot

lovers? That’s a question. I’ve got a key that can solve this problem.

Family comes first of course. You should wake up a little earlier in the

morning, and help your mother in the kitchen. On the Lantern Festival, making

rice balls and dumplings are the traditional activities. Having a reunion dinner

with the whole family is also very important, so you need to show up and stay

with your family for the whole morning. Spend some time with your family. Keep

them company and make them happy. In the afternoon, there are maybe not so busy,

you can plan for the Valentine’s Day with your girlfriend or boyfriend, you can

have some snacks in 4p.m, and tell your parents you will hang out with your

friends at night and not having supper at home tonight. They would be

understood. Then you can take your girlfriend or boyfriend to a nice restaurant

and see the latest movie after dinner. Do not forget to present the gift you

prepare for your lover. Make your lover happy, too.

I think everybody should find a balance between family love and lover’s

love. If I can only choose one, I will choose family love over the other.

Because I know my family never leaves me and my parents are aging. How many days

can I still be with them? So I really appreciate the days that I can still be

with them. I know you will do the same just like me.

大家好,我的名字叫“吴昀”,同学们爱叫我“白云”。有时候,同学们会拿我开玩笑,他们常对我说:“吴昀,我的云,赶快带我去世界各地游玩吧。”我知道他们在斗我玩,我就把他们说的话当作耳边风,不管他们怎么叫我,我都不吭声。

我今年9岁了,我有一双水汪汪的眼睛,两颗圆溜溜的眼睛特别可爱。我的鼻子特别灵,称得上家中的“闻闻大王”了。每次妈妈都会叫我去帮他闻闻食物有没有变味。我还有一张爱说话的嘴巴,在家里,我总是说个不停,爸爸妈妈都说我象一只小麻雀,可一到别人的家里或者是在陌生人的面前,我却沉默不语。

我是个急性子,记得有一天,早会课上,我打开书包发现语文书没带,这下可把我急坏了,我想:如果回家拿书的话,回到学校肯定是来不急上课了,我又跑到隔壁班的同学那里去借,没想到他们第一节也是上语文课,我不知道怎么办才好,我急得象热锅里的蚂蚁团团转。最后只好和同桌一起看,可我万万想到老师知道这件事情后,并没有批评我,而是提醒我以后一定记得带,我才松了一口气。

我喜欢下棋,我一旦有空,我就会拿起象棋跟爸爸切磋切磋。记得有一次,我和爸爸下象棋时,我输了,我并没有灰心,而是趁爸爸去炒菜的时候,我就坐在那里,认真地动脑筋,最后我终于想出了怎么解脱爸爸给我设下的“陷阱”。我赶紧跑向厨房,大声叫道:“爸爸,我不会输了。”爸爸听了,从厨房里走出来,又跟我下起来,没想到结果我真的战胜爸爸了。爸爸竖起大拇指,连连夸我是个爱动脑筋的好孩子。

大家听了我的介绍一定了解我了吧。

篇13:关于失败英语作文小学

全文共 831 字

Failure is so common in our life. No one can avoid it. When we fail in

doing something, we often feel so depressed that we have no interest in other

things. Sometimes failure can also make us lose heart. Therefore, no one wants

to be a failure.

Success is what we all hope for, because it can bring us a sense of pride

and a good reputation. The moment we succeed, we always feel so proud, as if

having everything in our hands. If one enjoys his continuous success in his

career, he will be famous and worshiped by others.

However, failure is the mother of success. One failure doesn’t mean you can

never be successful. It depends on what we do to deal with failure. Those who

are always afraid of failure and can’t go through it will never win. But as long

as we can get some lessons and experience from our failure, we’ll be sure to

succeed.

15 April 2006

Dear Sir,

I saw your advertisement for "the perfect lighter" in Sunday Times last week and immediately sent off a £2 postal order and the completed form for the lighter.

Imagine my surprise when all I got in return was a box of matches! I could understand a mistake. I might even pardon a joke. But in this case, your advertisement is a deliberate lie since a friend of mine who also sent the coupon got the same result.

I think its a shame to promise an economical lighter when in fact you are not selling a lighter a1 all. Instead of saying it works quickly, you should admit that you are offering matches. And what about "only" £2: I usually pay 10 pennies for a box of matches, and they are often given away free.

I regard your advertisement as a serious deception and demand that you send me my money back immediately. Otherwise I will take active steps to make sure the Consumers Association hear about it.

Yours faithfully,

Peter Li

ought to calm them down, show our love and concern to them and try our best to

help them overcome the hardships. Sometimes we may have some misunderstandings

or disagreements with our friends, thus we had better have a discussion with

them and try to accept their good ideas instead of quarreling with them. As long

大家好,我的名字叫XXX。我是一个刚刚迈入中学大门的初一新生,与众多新生一样,我带着充满好奇和有着强烈求知欲望的心来到了神圣的殿堂。想必大家对我还不是很熟悉吧!下面我就给大家做一下自我介绍

本人相貌平平:圆圆的脸上嵌着一双不大但炯炯有神的眼睛;眼睛下面是塌的几乎贴到脸上的鼻子,甚至能让人想起“坦荡平原”“;鼻子下面是我那张能说会道的嘴,它时常能帮助我给大家带来欢乐!我虽然相貌平平,但是我的性格却和很多和我同龄的女生大不一样:

我有一头乌黑、清爽的短发,再“配”上我的外表和名字,怎么看怎么像一个男孩子。我的爱好和性格也和众多男生一样,我爱好体育,羽毛球和乒乓球室我的最爱;我的性格也和男生差不多,我喜欢干事利索,一本正经,有始有终,不喜欢拖泥带水,磨磨蹭蹭的。这也许算是我的优点吧!因为,从小我就喜欢一本正经、坚持不懈地去做一件事,就算遇上再大的困难,我也会继续。我可不是在吹牛:

记得我刚从老家转学到北京的时候,我对英语真得可以说是七窍通了六窍——一窍不通。那时我已经四年级了,我这个人本来就要强,看着同学们在考试的时候总是能拿到理想的分数,自己却不可以,心里真得很不是滋味。也就是在这时候,我在心里暗暗里下决心:我一定要赶上我们班同学,争取超越他们!从那以后,我便开始为兑现自己的.诺言付出努力:每周日都上3个小时的课外班;每天晚上都做练习……就这样,凭着我对英语的执着,我的英语成绩慢慢的提高了,不知不觉中,我的英语成绩已经名列前茅,这使得我别提有多高兴了!同样,这也印证了中国的一句古话:世上无难事,只怕有心人!你们说,是吗

尊敬的各位考官:我欲应聘贵校数学教师一职,下面介绍一下我的基本情况。

我叫xxx,毕业于xx学校。我开朗自信,是一个不轻易服输的女孩。大多数人认为应届生缺乏教学经验,不过萨特也说,经验不可复制。一个教师的教学经验完全是一步步走出来的,正如学习游泳的过程便是游泳一样,教学的过程便是教学。四年来,由于家庭经济缘故,我勤工俭学,半工半读(曾带家教三年,给各种培训机构代课,并且将教学过程中所遇到的问题总结分析,写了许多教学方法探讨以及论文),教过各类科目,如高等数学,中学数学,物理,统计学,乃至政治,历史。

关于专业知识这一点,曾在培训班当过高等数学的代课老师,并且在08年9月是用《数学是什么》(R.柯朗著,的数学科普书籍,包括中等数学大部分范围和少量微积分)为一高中学生讲授四十余天,期间穿插讲授康德哲学和认识论,学生接受良好,并且真正从账房先生式的数学学习模式中摆脱,几年来,我教过的学生都接受了我的一条信念:教师不是教授知识,而是教会你自己学习。

希望贵校领导可以给我一个努力的机会,我热爱教育事业,并将其视为实现人生价值的途径,四年来所做的一切就是为了做一个不平庸的教育工作者,而非教书匠,陶行知曾言:教育是艺术,艺术不是固定模式下的工业产品,艺术要激情和灵感并行,全身心投入事业。一旦学生懂得治学的道理,教师才算功德圆满,否则仅是知识贩子而已。

我的自我介绍完毕,谢谢大家。

Home is the warmest place in the world and a sweet home makes every family

member feel happy and comfortable. So, how to make a home sweet?

First, respecting and understanding each other is the key to make a home

sweet, especially living in a big family. Everyone in the family has his or her

own opinion and has different way to deal with the matters, and it is impossible

to make family members see eye to eye with each other. Therefore, when we are

meeting different opinions, we need to give our respect and understanding to

each other.

Second, communication is another important factor to make a sweet home.

Communicating with family members is a good for us to know each other and

strengthen the relationship. Thus, no matter where we are, keeping in contact

with each other is definitely important.

Finally, humor can add more sweet to our home. Humor is a good way to

adjust the atmosphere in a family and close the relationship between family

members. Hence, if there is going to have a quarrel between family members, try

to use your humor to solve it in advance.

In a word, to make a home sweet needs the effort of every family

member.

The Lantern Festival falls on the 15th day of the 1st lunar month, usually

in February or March in the Gregorian calendar. As early as the Western Han

Dynasty (206 BC-AD 25), it had become a festival with great significance.

This days important activity is watching lanterns. Throughout the Han

Dynasty (206 BC-AD 220), Buddhism flourished in China. One emperor heard that

Buddhist monks would watch sarira, or remains from the cremation of Buddhas

body, and light lanterns to worship Buddha on the 15th day of the 1st lunar

month, so he ordered to light lanterns in the imperial palace and temples to

show respect to Buddha on this day. Later, the Buddhist rite developed into a

grand festival among common people and its influence expanded from the Central

Plains to the whole of China.

Till today, the lantern festival is still held each year around the

country. Lanterns of various shapes and sizes are hung in the streets,

attracting countless visitors. Children will hold self-made or bought lanterns

to stroll with on the streets, extremely excited. "Guessing lantern riddles"is

an essential part of the Festival.

Lantern owners write riddles on a piece of paper and post them on the

lanterns. If visitors have solutions to the riddles, they can pull the paper out

and go to the lantern owners to check their answer. If they are right, they will

get a little gift. The activity emerged during peoples enjoyment of lanterns in

the Song Dynasty (960-1279). As riddle guessing is interesting and full of

wisdom, it has become popular among all social strata.

People will eat yuanxiao, or rice dumplings, on this day, so it is also

called the "Yuanxiao Festival."Yuanxiao also has another name, tangyuan. It is

small dumpling balls made of glutinous rice flour with rose petals, sesame, bean

paste, jujube paste, walnut meat, dried fruit, sugar and edible oil as filling.

Tangyuan can be boiled, fried or steamed. It tastes sweet and delicious. What’s

more, tangyuan in Chinese has a similar pronunciation with "tuanyuan”, meaning

reunion. So people eat them to denote union, harmony and happiness for the

family.

In the daytime of the Festival, performances such as a dragon lantern

dance, a lion dance, a land boat dance, a yangge dance, walking on stilts and

beating drums while dancing will be staged. On the night, except for magnificent

lanterns, fireworks form a beautiful scene. Most families spare some fireworks

from the Spring Festival and let them off in the Lantern Festival. Some local

governments will even organize a fireworks party. On the night when the first

full moon enters the New Year, people become really intoxicated by the imposing

fireworks and bright moon in the sky.
