2017英语一小作文(通用20篇)

It goes without saying that english plays an important role in our modern

society. english is an international language. wherever you go, you can hear

english spoken by many people.

From this point of view, it is true that english is important to our daily

life. learning english is like learning to swim or learning to play ball. our

primary trouble is that we have tackled the study of language from the wrong

end. we are like theman who thinks he can learn to swim only by reading books

about swimming. in actuality, we learn by doing. the grammatical rules are

valuable as we plunge into the language and need some assistance. in the same

way, advanced instructions about swimming are helpful as we learn something from

actual experience in the water. but reading books never makes a swimmer and

learning rules never makes a practical linguist. the regular procedure in

learning english involves listening first, to be followed by speaking. then

comes reading, and finally the writing of the language. the way you learn

english is much the same as the way you learned your own language.

First of all you must listen and then repeat and repeat until you can use

the language easily. in other words, you have to build up language habits in

english just as you build up english habits in your own language. to sum up, we

must bear in mind that nobody can learn to swim for you. nobody can learn to

play ball for you. nobody can learn english for you. its up to you. you must

learn for yourself and you will learn if you really want to and are willing to

practice.

27th, September of every year is World Tourism Day. Of course, it is to

advocate people to travel often. Nowadays, as people’s living standard improve,

the number and frequency of people to travel is also increasing. Why? I think it

may because of the advantage of travel. First of all, travel can make people

relaxed. In today’s competitive society, everyone is under great stress. They

may be crazy if they are in that situation in the long term. Going travel,

leaving all the troubles behind for a period of time, people will have a good

rest and then fight again. Secondly, travel can broaden people’s vision. People

can learn more through what they see and hear. This knowledge is good for them.

Last but not least, travel can enlarge people’s social circle, because they can

make new friends on the way of their trip. In conclusion, travel has so many

advantages. It is no wonder that there is a World Tourism Day to encourage

everyone to go travel.

Before Chinese students go to college, they have been told about the great

things on campus life all the time, so they have the motivation to study hard.

When they come to university, they begin to slow down their pace to study and

waste their youth.

Nowadays, a lot of college students lose motivation to move on when they

come to the new chapter of their life. Campus life seems to be relaxed and a

place to free themselves. Without the supervision from parents and teachers,

they choose to lose themselves in the computer games or all kinds of

parties.

So someone made the comment on campus life as the nursing house, which

satirized the students who wasted their precious time and youth to accomplish

nothing. It is the important stage for them to learn professional knowledge and

master skills, so as to be competitive and find their own place in the

world.

For a wise student, they make the plans and improve themselves all the

time. If we live the life as the old people in the nursing house, then it is

kind of committing suicide for a young person.

It was Mother’s Day. Sun Zheng thought he should do something for his

mother. He decided to help his mother do some housework. After school he went to

a shop to buy some food on his way home.

When he got home, he did his best to cook some nice food,though he couldn’t

do the cooking well. Thenhe cleaned the room. He felt very tired, but he was

very happy.

When his father and his mother came back and saw the clean rooms and dishes

which weren’t so nice, they were very happy.They had their supper together. His

mother said, "Thank you,my child!"

The protection of the border is not a new problem for us, and our

government has long proposed clear targets for governance. As every ordinary

person in real life, although it is impossible to work directly in environmental

protection, we can start from small things and start from me. Can you raise your

hand when you see the tap in the bathroom? When the battery runs out, can you

classify it instead of throwing it away? How about when shopping doesnt use

ultra-thin plastic bags? ...... Small things are small, but they reflect how

much environmental awareness we have.

Recycling one ton of waste paper can regenerate 800 kg of paper, can save

17 tree. 20 waste recycling boxes can create a beautiful pen container.

Recycling one glass bottle to save the energy, can make the bulb light for four

hours. Recycling one aluminum can is to save the half oil cans. So we should

place the garbage classification, reproduction by the relevant department after

recycling reuse!

As long as we start from oneself, starts from the minor matter, everybody

joint efforts, perseverance, we will be for the society, also a piece of clear

water, blue sky for yourself, I hope everybody can voluntarily protect the

environment, to make our environment more beautiful life.

Last night, I went to my friend’s birthday party, I made some friends. We

talked happily, one of my new friends showed us the pictures of the places he

had been visited. We were so envious, all of us had the dream to go travel to

many places, but none of us took the action. He told us that we were so young

and had the energy to see the world. He told us to carry out the plan once we

had the idea. What he told us is right, we are young and it is good to be young.

In the old people’s eyes, we are so free and can go where we want. But most of

the young people haven’t realized the right they have, they waste their youth

and dare not to do what they want.

As a student, we have study for many years. During there years, we study

Chinese, English, science and so on. In this period, with the improvement of our

knowledge, we not only read the books in class but also read extracurricular

after school. In my opinion Dream of the red chamber is the best book I have

read. In this book, the great author Cao xueqin his view about love. He had

firmly faith in what is the true love and try to tell us that there are

different kinds of love, only one kind which should be considered as True

Love.

In a dream, and under mythical circumstances, the main character of the

novel, Jia baoyu, met the Fairy Disenchantment in the Land of Illusions. She

showed him three "registers" each containing the names and "the happenings in

life" of 12 girls in his clan. Each girl represents a kind of love.

From the stories which are unfolding in the novel, the reader should know

the characteristics of the different kinds of love, and should be able to

distinguish True Love from the other kinds.

True love is acceptance, committal, mutual and without any post conditions.

The love between Lin daiyu and Jia baoyu is considered to be True Love. Just

saying or hearing I love you is not good enough because talk is cheap. Action in

mutual commitment is essential, as we can see in the novel.

We always have dreams. What’s ours dream? Do you know what you exactly

want? And do you work hard for it. In this book, you can taste the feeling of

the author about his strong will. In his words, you can find the charm of

Chinese. It is not a book, but a precious deposits. You can get a lot from it.

But unfortunately, the novel was never "completed" to such a state. On the other

hand, maybe, it is another kind of beauty of the book. If you have not read this

book yet, just go and read it. You will love it.

Of the fruits of the year I give my vote to the orange. In the first place

it is a perennial--if not in actual fact, at least in the greengrocer’s shop. On

the days when dessert is a name given to a handful of chocolates and a little

preserved ginger, when macédoine de fruits is the title bestowed on some raisins

and two prunes, then the orange, however sour, comes nobly to the rescue; and on

those other days of plenty when cherries and strawberries and kiwi-fruits riot

together upon the table, the orange, sweeter than ever, is still there to hold

its own. Bread and rice, beef and mutton, eggs and milk, are not more necessary

to an ordered existence than the orange.

It is well that the commonest fruit should be also the best. Of the virtues

of the orange I have not room fully to speak. It has properties of health

giving, as it cures influenza and establishes the complexion. It is clean, for

whoever handles it on its way to your table but handles its outer covering, its

top coat, which is left in the hall. It is round, and forms an excellent

substitute with the young for a tiny football. The pips can be flicked at your

enemies, and quite a small piece of peel makes a slide for an old gentleman.

But all this would count nothing had not the orange such delightful

qualities of taste. I dare not let myself go upon this subject. I am a slave to

its sweetness.

Yet with the orange we go live year in and year out. That speaks well for

the orange. The fact is that there is an honesty about the orange which appeals

to all of us. If it is going to be bad--for the best of us are bad sometimes--it

begins to be bad from the outside, not from the inside. How many a pear which

presents a blooming face to the world is rotten at the core. How many an

innocent-looking apple, is harboring a worm in the bud. But the orange has no

secret faults. Its outside is a mirror of its inside, and if you are quick you

can tell the shopman so before he slips it into the bag.

This weekend, there was an art festival in our school, it had been hold for

five years and the school insisted to make it become the feature. I was so

excited, this was the first time for me to join. Early in the morning, I saw

there were so many people coming to the campus, making the campus so lively. The

students dressed so well and gave the warm welcome to the guests. I walked

around and appreciated the painting, every work was drawn by the students, I was

so impressed by these works. There were also some handworks, which were so

creative, it reflected the students’ wisdom. Though we were busy with our

subjects most of the time, some students still kept on their hobbies and made it

their talent. I should learn from them and develop some interest.

Cell phones have become increasingly popular in china these days. wherever

you go you can see people using cell phones. many college students, even high

school students, have cell phones.

Cell phones have brought people a lot of benefits, but the most important

is that they are convenient. with cell phones in their hands, they can keep in

touch with anybody they want. if they want to get some information from the

internet, they can easily have their dream realized via cell phones too.

furthermore, if someone has a heart attack or a traffic accident, a call to

emergency hospital or to the police can quickly bring him the help he wants.

However, cell phones can also bring people problems. the most serious is

the electric wave radiation which is thought to be harmful to users brains.

another problem is that when people are having a meeting or having a class or at

a concert etc, the ring of the cell phone may interrupt others. so i think

people should use cellphones as little as possible and turn them off when they

are attending important meetings or attending classes.

Today is "March" Womens Day, I want to do several things to help his

mother, let her have a happy holiday. At noon, I came home and found the table

already filled with delicious food, but just could not see her mother. Suddenly,

I heard a sound of laundry to the laundry and saw the stage, my mother was

washing clothes. I said: "Mom, you go to eat, Ill wash. Because today is your

holiday, I want to make you happy." "Are you okay?" Mom asked, smiling. "OK," I

said. Mom went to eat doubtfully. I picked up the sleeves, took out a piece of

clothing, wet with blisters, and then cast soap, then rub hard. Yeah rub rub,

rub my hands are red, but there are still a little greasy clothes, do not rub

clean. I had to rinse with a brush, then rinse well with water and the clothes

clean. I washed some clothes, my mother came, looked at me hard to look like, my

mother smiles, so happy, so happy.

Evening, I rush to help her mother wash the dishes, I washed dishes placed

neatly. Mother looked, smiled and said: "So this is Yao Yao gave me holiday

gift!" Although I am more tired than usual today, but I am very happy because

I let my mother had a happy holiday season. Memorable day - dedicated to the

Womens Day Mom.

Courage is very important. Everyone needs it. We will meet many

difficulties in our life and sometimes we will fail, but we can’t lose courage.

If we lose courage, we can’t do anything, because we don’t dare to do anything;

we are afraid of failure. This is my Chinese teacher me in the first class. I

agree with him. For example, we don’t have the courage to hands up to say our

answer, how can we know we are right or wrong. I will remember his word

forever,” never lose courage .”

According to the variety of social background, personal experience and

personal emotion, differernt people have different opinions towards things.

Thus, there is no doubt that generation gap exists everywhere. We always find

that there are big differences between us and the old generation. We always

regard the old are outdated, while they think us are crazy. They can’t bear the

dress we like, the fashion we pursue or even our childish thinking. Instead, we

could put up with their standpat thingking and their “feudal rulers”. Thus, the

generation gap becomes more and more obvious and serious. However, why don’t we

realize that opinions can be changed, while people can’t. So, we can think in an

other way, learn to accept. It is certain that we can narrow the generation gap

to live a more harmonious life.

I have many dreams, such as I am rich in the future. Therefore, I can buy

all what I want. But my greatest dream is that I want to be an astronaut. Our

country develops fast and our space make great progress in the last several

decades. It has great achievements. All of our country are proud of it.

Therefore, I want to be one of this amazing area. In order to make my dream come

true, I must work hard now. So that I can go to a good university to learn more

knowledge. I hope my dream can come true one day.

We all like to make friends, because no one can survive without a friend.

If you ask someone how many friends do they have, most will answer a lot.

Indeed, we make friends in different stage, even we are old, we still make

friends. But not all friends are as honest as they are, some friends we made

since we are young, some are just meet a couple of times and we don’t know much

about them. The former are real friends, while the latter are not true friends.

What is the real friend, a real friend is someone who you can talk about

anything and can be show up the moment you need. Other friends are just for

drinking and eating, they will not help you if you are in trouble. When we make

friends, the real one is what we need.

I have studied in my middle school for three years.My life in middle school

is rich and I have learned a lot. I get knowledge from text books as well as

from extra curricular activities. I studied hard in the past three years so that

I got perfect scores. But, I also attach importance to other aspects, such as

making friends, hobbies, health and sports. I build good relationships with my

classmates. They become an important part of my life.I like to chat with them

after class that makes me relax and comfortable. My hobby is swimming. Every

Sunday morning, I go to swim with my friends or my father. When I have fun, I

build a healthy body. Its so great to me. In one word, my life in middle is

colorful and unforgettable.

Growing up is like running water,unconsciously from summer to

autumn.Years,whether happy or worry,is my growing experience,all is my stepping

stone on the road to success.

Happiness and worry is always two abandoned partner,they take care of each

other,everyone dont want trouble stay.Some people feel that there is no

happiness but feel that fate in torment them,in the world of light and dark,good

and evil.they are all separated lived,but only happiness and troubles is

"neighbors",because only with the happiness and worry,our childhood will be rich

and colorful.

pace of growth,hold on to me that a good age.

The pace of growth continues,it does not return,cant go back.

As the drawing presents, there is a man walking across the street

absorbedly focusing on his cell phone without noticing the surroundings. This

sort of phenomenon is not uncommon and rare in some metropolis, especially among

the youngsters.

What the picture illustrates is the prevailing situation that has long

existed in todays China. That is the mobile phone obsession. With the advent of

information age, people are becoming

increasingly fascinated on the electronic products, especially the cell

phones. Not surprisingly, you could easily notice that most of us are obsessed

in sending messages, playing online games with their mobile phones. It cannot be

denied that this phenomenon may negatively impact the relationship among people,

and therefore they will become estranged and isolated.

Personally, in view of the overuse of mobile phones, I hold that we

individuals should raise the necessary awareness that good relationships are

reinforced by sincere and face-to-face communication.

Since I go to middle school, I have to learn many subjects. Though I am not

the best student in class, but I won’t give up. I always tell myself to work

hard, because if I want to compete with other students, I need to make great

effort. People are easy to deny themselves when they face difficulty. If they

fail one time, then they will doubt the effort they have made. Actually, we are

not studying in vain. What we learn will be a great help to improve ourselves.

The thing we learn decides what kinds of person we are. So don’t deny yourself,

as you will see the value you have stored before in the future.

Recently, the news about the famous fast food company got bankrupted in

Taiwan was spread in Wechat. While in mainland, less people know about the truth

and the fast food company still works well. Chinese food problem exists all the

time, even the government has made some rules to forbid the illegal business,

still many manufacturers produce bad food for making more profit. The fast food

company doesn’t care about the market in Taiwan. Its spokeman said that their

main market was in mainland, and a lot of people were eating their food. Hearing

this, we surely will be angry. If everybody join the team to refuse to buy their

products, then the fast food company will be kicked out. Only in this way can we

protect our health and benefit.
