看图作文

“I love reading。 I read about 3 hours aday。

My favorite book is Facebook。”

*Facebookis the name of a social networking website。

此文预计会引发巨大争议，有人会认为FB和朋友圈这类东西完全不是正真意义的“阅读”，但是也有认为，这才是当今时代有特色的阅读，其实，能说明白就好，观点没有正误。

Impact的含义：影响。

第一段： 描述漫画内容。强调网络阅读的趋势和现象

第二段： 分析网络读书的原因。(或阐述不同的人的不同观点)在这一段，既可以把网络阅读的影响力归结为利大于弊，也可以归结为弊大于利，自圆其说即可。

第三段：双面总结，得出结论。

Thepicture describes a conversation between two people，one of them said： “I readabout 3 hours a day。My favorite book is Facebook。”The picture intends toinform us that the Internet has exerted an important influence on reading forthe modern citizens。

The phenomenon involves many factors，which canbe listed as the follows。 To begin with，with the rapid development of scientific technology，The Internet has become indispensable in our daily life.Undoubtedly，it provides people with many advantages and makes our life morecomfortable and efficient， including the way of reading。What’s more，it is a moreadvanced way to get information needed by people，and an efficient way to searchfor materials。“I have hardly ever bought any books since 2003。I have beenreading online in recent years。”said professor Wang from Peking University。“With the click of the mouse，any stories or information that I want at anygiven time or place，is there。”she said。This may well explain why so manypeople now prefer to embrace the wonders of the Internet than read print copiesof book or any other reading material。

Every coin hastwo sides，reading in social networking websites is no exception。 Admittedly，there is false and useless information on the social networking websites， it isadvisable that we read more critically and carefully。

Look at the cloud is the weather

We can also according to the phenomenon of light on the cloud, speculated that the weather condition. Around the sun and the moon, sometimes a kind of beautiful colorful aperture, layer is red,The aperture is called halo. Solar halo and mooning often produce in volume layer cloud, volume layer at the back of the large altostratus cloud and rain clouds, is the sign of the big wind and rain. So have a "solar halo night rain, lunar halo noon the wind". Volume layer cloud in the instructions, and dizzy, the weather becomes bad. Another smaller than halo of color ring, known as "China". The arrangement of color is red, uv with dizzy just the opposite.Solar corona and part on the edge of altostratus yuet mostly. HuaHuan changed from small to big, the weather to clear. HuaHuan from large to small, the weather is likely to turn to rain. Summer, after a storm comes a calm,opposite the sun on the clouds of often hang a colorful arc, that is the rainbow. People often say: "east rainbow boom west rainbow rain."

The class teacher and we discussed the "food security". In todays society, human food safety has been a serious threat.

Now the children all like to eat snacks, and addicted to eat. Although parents tell them who is bad to the body, but they still continue to buy snacks, just have a fair into a "sneak". In the snack, the children to buy one of the most dangerous, is the spicy dry tofu.

Understanding on the Internet, I learned the spicy dry tofu is composed of metamorphic pork, plastic bags, such as some are unsafe, unhealthy materials again. Look at the pictures, some of the staff in the processing, should put the foot on the above, this is how not health! So I advise you not to eat spicy dry tofu also dont eat snacks again as far as possible.

There are a lot of people like to eat mutton string, and believe. It tastes very good taste, and there is a sheep shan wei, let people think this is the authentic lamb kebabs. Not actually, mutton string is called mutton string, but who can guarantee that the meat must be above mutton? Perhaps is pork, this is good. Some are made of rat meat, do you still eat like this? You might ask: "sheeps shan wei?" Shan wei is put "mutton string" sheep sheep urine bubble in some time, and then a wash, so the "delicious" clusters of mutton string was baked out. Here, dont I advised, I believe that you have not eat?

Now, can not eat meat, vegetables are dangerous, most of the vegetables are chemical pesticides, so you must be clean and wash the vegetables to eat, after all, it may do harm to your familys health.

Now, food safety not guaranteed, and peoples health is threatened, so making the uncles and aunts of food to ensure food safety, ensure peoples health.

这一节课老师与我们讨论了“食品安全”。在当今社会，人类的食品安全已受到了严重的威胁。

现在的孩子们都喜欢吃零食，而且吃上了瘾。尽管家长们告诉他们那些是对身体不好的，但他们还是一如既往的买零食，只不过有光明正大变成“偷偷摸摸”。在零食中，孩子们买的最危险的，就是辣条了。

在网上了解，我的得知辣条是由变质的猪肉，塑料袋等一些极不安全，又不健康的材料制作而成。看那些图片，有些工作人员在加工时，竟把脚放在了上面，这是多么不卫生啊!所以我劝大家不要再吃辣条了也尽量不要再吃零食了。

羊肉串，相信也有很多人喜欢吃。它吃起来口感很好，而且有一股羊膻味，让人们以为这就是正宗的羊肉串了。其实不是，羊肉串虽叫羊肉串，但是谁能保证上面的肉一定是羊肉呢?说不定是猪肉，这还算好的。有些竟是用老鼠肉做的，这样你还吃的下去吗?你可能会问：“羊膻味又是怎么来的呢?”羊膻味是把“羊肉串”放在羊尿里泡上一些时日，然后冲洗一下，这样一串串“香喷喷”的羊肉串就被烤出来了。说到这里，不用我劝，相信你就已经不会再吃了吧?

现在，肉不可以吃，蔬菜也有危险，大部分蔬菜都会打农药，所以大家洗蔬菜时一定要清洗干净再吃，毕竟它会危害家人的健康。

现在，食品安全得不到保证，人们的健康受到威胁，所以制作食品的叔叔阿姨们要保证食品的安全，保证人们的健康。

Many people believe that having a lot of money is the greatest happiness in

life. But I dont agree with them, because money is not everything. Money cant

make us a true man.

The way I see it, good health is much better than a lot of wealth. No

matter how much money we have, we’ll not feel happy at all if we are in poor

health. In order to be healthy, we must keep a positive attitude and have a good

living habit.

Apart from good health, we must be diligent at work. As long as we work

hard, we cannot just make a good living, but enrich our minds.

Additionally, we ought to give our helpful hands to others when they are in

need. While helping others, we can own a good fame as well as get more social

experience. Its really a good way to kill two birds with one stone. Only by

doing so can we enjoy the happiest life.

As a Senior Grade Three students, I am very busy in preparing for the

college entrance examination. I have seven classes a day, and two self-study

classes at night. And only a day left for the weekend. So, most of the time I

have to spend on the study, after all the college entrance examination is very

important for almost all of us. Aside of study, I would play football with my

friends after school and the weekend. I like playing football very much. When I

run on the football field, I can put the examination thing off my mind for a

while, only sweat and laugh left. It is a good exercise for health and a good

way to relax from the busy study too. This is my high school life, busy and

fulfilling.

When people start to set the goal, they will think about the result immediately, of course they want to get the best result. If people can predict the result, most of them will give up by knowing the unsuccessful ending. It seems that if the result is bad, what people work for is meaningless. Well, in my opinion, the process of fighting for the goal is much more important than the result. When we fight for our goal, we will do our best and try to improve ourselves, even we fail in the end, but when we look back at the beginning, we can find that we are no longer the childish ones, we have grown up and become mature. What’s more, on the process of fighting, we get close to success, as the saying that fail is the mother of success. So don’t treat the result so serious, just enjoy the process.

当人们开始定目标，他们会立刻想到结果，当然他们想要得到最好的结果。如果人们能够预知结果，他们大部分人会因为知道失败的结果而不去尝试。似乎如果结果是坏的，人们所做的努力就会没有意义。然而，在我看来，为目标而奋斗的过程比结果重要得多。当我们为了目标而奋斗的时候，会努力做到最好，尝试提高自己，即使最终失败，但是在我们回望开始的时候，就会发现我们不再是那个天真的自己，我们已经长大，变得成熟。而且，在奋斗的过程中，我们离成功也近了一步，正如有句话叫失败是成功之母。因此不要把结果看得那么严重，享受过程就好。

My hometown is like an exhibition hall, the beauty of spring, summer, autumn and winter even show come out, I love my hometown!

我的家乡在江西省修水县，那里是个美丽的地方。一年四季树木茂盛，鲜花盛开。

春天，春姑娘穿着五彩的霓裳，轻盈地走上了舞台，她把长袖一挥，大地上的草丛树木都被染上了绿色。春姑娘又纤巧的手编织出一朵朵美丽的小花，向台下撒去。鲜花飞向绿色的大地、飞向绿色的树木，立刻，嫩绿的翠叶间缀满了朵朵鲜花。

夏天，火热的太阳毫不留情地烤着大地上的一切。大地被烤得发焦发烫，地面上仿佛被一个巨大的蒸笼罩住了，使人透不过气来。但，这就是夏天的魅力所在，它让我有一种置身于温暖中的感觉。

秋天是个收获的季节，看，果园里的那棵苹果树上，一个个密密麻麻又大又红的苹果高高地挂在树上。那棵葡萄树上的葡萄又紫又大，看起来，可真叫人流口水。那两石榴树上结满了红彤彤的石榴，它们一个个挨挨挤挤，好像一不小心就会掉下来。

冬天的气息悄然来到人间，他一吹将整个世界变成了白色;他一吹吹下了鹅毛般的大雪;他一吹吹来了人们对冬天的喜爱;它一吹把树木的衣裳给吹掉了;它一吹……。

我的家乡好似一个展览馆，把春夏秋冬的美景依依展现出来了，我爱我的家乡!

总是很羡慕电视机里军人们站如松、坐如钟的飒爽英姿，以及那“流血流汗不流泪”的坚毅精神，想着自己是不是也能这样坚持呢？这不，机会终于来了。

一大早，我们学校七年级新生都换上了军训时穿的迷彩服，远远望去，就如同一幅巨大的油画。我当然也在其中，虽然表面看来，我十分淡定，但是只有我自己知道内心是如此的汹涌澎湃。我好像看到了一只独木船正在海面静静地向前航行，忽然，刮起了大风，巨大的海浪一个接着一个，如同成群的野兽，向独木船奔去。

想起哥哥说过的话，“你要小心点，我们军训的时候，教官十分严厉，动作稍微做得不到位，就要被罚！”想得正出神，老师便来带我们下楼参加典礼。我可以明显感觉到我的心脏里住着一头小鹿，它胡乱地撞着我的胸口，就差要跳出来了！

带领我们的是一位浓眉大眼的教官，眉宇间夹着一个深深的“川”字。他一脸严肃，在训练的时候，我没看到他脸上有过一丝笑容，眼睛睁得大大的，好似两个铜铃，怪可怕的。教官一本正经的模样使我胆怯起来，同时打起了十二万分的精神。

教官在教我们每一个动作前都会做一遍给我们看，那炯炯有神的眼睛，那干脆利落的动作，那挺拔如松的站姿，我能想到的只有一个字，那就是——帅！

刚开始我们做的动作一点儿都不整齐，经过教官一次又一次的纠正，我们一次又一次的努力，总算能像教官一样——站如杨树，蹲如雕塑。一个个挺拔的身影，洪亮的口号声久久回荡在篮球场上，这分明就是一个个军人在接受着人民的检阅啊！

一天的训练就在这热烈的气氛中结束了，每个人的脸上虽然都显得有些疲倦，但从一双双明亮的眼睛中，分明可以看出那巨大的成就感——那种无法言语的感觉！

My summer vacation life, is a poem, a green leaf, a song...

除了紧张、充实的学习生活外，我还拥有轻松、愉快的假期生活。那丰富多采的内容，充实了我的人生，也为童稚的学生生涯增添了几分乐趣与悠然。

茶余饭后去散步是我每天的必修课。漫步在小区的花草旁，呼吸着清香的空气，与花鸟作伴，欣赏着玫瑰的浓郁，百合的高洁，晚饭花的奇特，还有玉兰的娇美，美人蕉的绚丽,我会轻轻地对自己说：“生活真是美的。”我用真诚感受身边的五颜六色，用热情欣赏周围的姹紫嫣红。我不由自主地从内心发出：“我，属于大自然!”

更多地，我会一头扎进书的海洋，呼吸着书店、图书馆特有的那种书香的气味，感受漫步书海的乐趣。钻进历史的海洋，我会为秦始皇焚书坑儒的举动而激愤，为霸王别姬的悲惨而落泪，为诸葛亮“出师未捷身先死”扼腕叹息;漫步文学的殿堂，我渐渐体会到宝钗的无奈、黛玉的才华，体会到玛丽的倔强、科林的孱弱，体会到余秋雨的“晨雨初听”、钱钟书的“围城”……

我的暑假生活，是一首诗，一片绿叶，一支歌……

Topic one：Environment Protection（环境保护）

Water Pollution

With the development of industry, water pollution is becoming more serious now. The polluted water not only kills fish, it is also harmful to our health. Many people get sick because they drink the polluted water. In some rivers the water is so dirty that they can even kill plants.

We should fight against the pollution. We should stop using harmful things. I wish it is not a dream that in the near future we can have clean rivers again.

Environment Protection

Nowadays, peoples life has changed a lot with the development of modern technology and economy, which has put lots of negative effects on the environment.

Why this? Because, firstly, some factories are pouring wastes into rivers, lakes, seas and so forth; secondly, because of human activities, a great number of plants and animals are losing their lives; thirdly, using modern machines and chemicals is bad for the environment. Besides these, there are a lot of human activities which have done or are doing harm to our surroundings.

For this, I think, first, our government should make drastic measures to regulate human activities; second, we human beings should take pains-taking work to stop ourselves destroying the environment and try our best to protect our living space more.
