+ 加入清单Hello! My dear friends! First, let me introduce myself to you. My name is
Wu Dongxiang and my friend usually calls me Kina. Im a 20-year-old girl who
comes from Guilin Guangxi China. It’s known to all, Guilin is a beautiful city
in China. Have you ever been to Guilin? If the answer is no, don’t worry about
it. Please come on, I am very glad to be you guide .Welcome to our city!
In my college, I majored in Tourism and English. I want to be a tour guide
when I graduate from my college. Because Im a lovely girl and I like to travel
to different places. I have about ten courses to learn this term. What about
you?
I have a lot of hobbies. In my spare time, I often go sightseeing, play
badminton and go out running. Sometimes go shopping or stay at home. I also like
reading and planting flowers. Do you have the same hobby with me? If you want to
talk with me, please send me an E-mail. My E -mail: kinakl920@126.I m looking
forward to seeing you!
Hello, everyone! My name is ~~. I, a girl with short hair, is smart and
beautiful. What’s more, it is surfing the Internet that is my hobby. Besides, I
do well in my study, which, in teachers opinion, is what my classmates want to
do as well as me .On the other hand; I am not what I used to be, for I never did
sports in the past. But now, I like take exercise, which can make me healthy.
And my hobbies help me think about good things in my life .Seeing blue sky, I
feel it good to live on the earth! So, it is I who am a good girl in daily
life!
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls. Now, it’s my turn. My
name is Edgar, a high school student. I am much honored to be here to give you a
speech. Also its a good chance for me to improve my English. I hope I can make
a good performance today. The topic of my speech is "After studying here".
Before I came here, I can never imagine that I can learn so much knowledge
about other countries, which cant be got from my books in school. Three months
ago, I took my first class. Unfortunately, I felt so embarrassed, because I even
cant speak any words, though I know I really love English.
After that, I took some of my tutors advice and previewed the lesson that
I’ll learn. What’s more, in every class, I JUST try my best to say as much as
possible. Now, I can only remember it’s a really hard time. What’s worse, I had
to go to my high school and went there at the same time.
After several weeks, I began to get used to the atmosphere in web .At least
Im not afraid to speak in front of my tutor and foreign teachers.
During web’s period, I found I had improved a lot, both physically and
mentally. For example, how to be a confident person, how to plan for my future.
And the most important is that I have learnt how to communicate with others,
which is a necessary skill. Nowadays studying is not the only thing that we high
school students should do, there are some more important things we have
ignored.
First, I am grateful for my parents. They have spent so much money for me,
but never ask for anything in return. I really know how hard it is to work on
such living conditions.
Now it’s time to introduce my tutor sally. It was she that led me to the
right studying here. It was she that helped me deal with all kinds of annoying
things. Also there are some other teachers that I appreciate, especially Laura
and Anita. Of course, I like to take foreign teachers classes. Anyway, thanks
all of you!
I know I am young; there is a long way in my life. I have to face the
difficulties and solve them by myself. But I know I must keep on my dream, I
agree that If you put your mind to, you can accomplish anything.
I know I’m not the best ,but I’m the most diligent one,I hope you can
remember me, an ordinary boy.

篇20:介绍屈原的英语作文
全文共 2579 字
+ 加入清单One explanation is that the Duanwu Festival originated from people’s worship of dragons. In ancient China, people believed the dragon was the god in charge of water, which was vitally important to daily life and agricultural production. On the day of Duanwu, people raced dragon boats to entertain the god and offered him Zongzi as a treat. The sole purpose was to please the god to ensure a year of favorable weather.
Some people believe Duanwu comes from activities instigated by ancient sorcerers. These activities were held in early summer when the hot weather was about to bring diseases to people who didn’t have modern devices and medicines to protect themselves. So, ancient sorcerers encouraged people to wear fragrant pouches and hang mugwort and calamus on their doors to drive away the so-called evil spirits that caused diseases.
Scholars may provide many other explanations about the origin of the Duanwu Festival. But if you ask ordinary people about its origin, you’ll get the same answer. They will tell you that the Duanwu Festival honors the great poet, Qu Yuan. They’ll also tell you the story that has been passed down for more than 2,000 years.
Qu Yuan was born in 340 BC, during the Warring States Period. At that time, there were seven states struggling among themselves to unify China. Of the seven states, Qin was the strongest and Chu the largest.
Qu Yuan was a noble of Chu. During his lifetime, the powerful kingdom of Chu fell into a decline.
Early in his life, Qu Yuan won the confidence of the King of Chu, and was his deputy prime minister, helping draft laws and determine foreign-policy. When he saw the danger posed by the ambitious Qin State, he proposed government reforms and an alliance with the neighboring Qi state as a way to ensure Chu’s safety.
But the King of Chu was surrounded by self-seekers, who were jealous of Qu Yuan. They accepted bribes from the Qin’s envoy, dissuaded the King from taking Qu Yuan’s advice and brought about the poet’s estrangement from the King. Qu Yuan was finally sent into exile for 20 years.
During those desperate years, Qu Yuan helplessly watched his beloved country become weaker every day. In the year 278 BC, the capital of Chu was stormed by troops from Qin. In great pain, Qu Yuan wrote “Lisao” or “The Lament”, the greatest of all his poems. On the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, he drowned himself in the Milo River, because he was hopeless about his country’s future.
Qu Yuan died thousands of years ago, but he is remembered every year for his love of and loyalty to his country and his people.
