书,是人类进步的阶梯;书,是人类文明的“长生果”;书,也是我们成长需要的精神粮食,它让我们的心灵得以滋润,灵魂得以洗涤;书,更是我最好的人生伴侣!

一本好书就像一位好的朋友,我曾静静品茗过《爱的教育》这本书,它就像是一道印痕深深地刻在我的心中,让我收益匪浅。书中讲述的是一位四年级的小学生——安利柯的学习与生活,他通过一件件平凡、细微的小事,娓娓地记叙了师生之情,父子之爱,朋友之谊!其中,有一件事令我特别感动:安利柯与柯莱蒂是好朋友,一次,柯莱蒂不小心把墨水溅在了安利柯的本子上,他们俩因此大吵了一架。放学后,安利柯最终决定去向柯莱蒂道歉,不料,柯莱蒂却先拍了拍安利柯的肩膀,并向他道了歉。这时,安利柯才明白这份友谊是多么值得他去珍惜啊。这种浓浓的朋友之谊,也让我更懂得去珍惜,更让我明白朋友的爱永远是最珍贵的,因为一个真正懂得珍惜友谊的人,是不会把它挂在嘴边的,而是永远的珍藏在心底!当我阅读完这本书时,我仿佛在聆听来自天籁的圣歌,啊,多么美妙!

阅读,是一种乐趣。在阅读中收获知识与真知,让我走进书的世界,让我在书的世界中感受快乐,让我“沐浴”在书的世界中……我领悟到了:书的世界给予了我丰富的:“美食”哺育了我的灵魂!

阅读,是一种享受。在阅读中感受,在阅读中体会,在阅读中得到启迪与智慧,让我享受阅读所带给我的智慧与快乐,享受阅读带来一次又一次新的感受,新的收获……因为它可以让我常读常新,百读不厌,让我感受到了阅读的快乐,它是一种美好的享受!

阅读一本好书就是跨越时间和空间,同睿智而高尚的人对话,这是多么美妙的事情啊!喜欢阅读,就是从书中汲取营养,养成爱读书的习惯,与书成为知己,成为伴侣,每个人都阅读过书,感受过读书的乐趣,但是每个人的阅读经验,阅读感受都是与众不同的,每个人都有个性化的读书方式,收获也是独一无二的,以自己的方法阅读,对书有读到的正确,才能真正地读好一本书。

“读书破万卷,下笔如有神!”只有真正读懂一本书,才会有收获与积累呀!读书虽苦,虽累,但是,你享受书本却是美妙的,收获知识更是快乐无比的,希望大家能永远记住一句话:“书籍是全世界的营养品!”

When asked about their opinion of career and family, people always respond differently. Some people deem it more important to pursue their career, while there are always other people who argue that family should be the number one in one’s life.

It goes without any question that career plays a key role in our life. In the very first place, career can give us an aim to live on. Without career, much of our living time will be certainly wasted. What’s more, career can provide us with a means to live on. Most of the people earn their income from a job. On the other hand, family is also an indispensable part of life, as many people will admit. Family is always regarded as a place where we can escape from troubles in life. In addition, we can obtain a sense of belonging to from family. Without it, anyone will feel lonely and desperate.

In my opinion, career and family are not in opposition to each other. Rather, they can enhance each other so that one’s life can become better and better. Therefore, it’s not a choice between right and wrong, but one between ideal and practical.

在谈到自己的事业和家庭的意见要求,人总是有不同的反应。有些人认为这更重要的是追求自己的事业,而总有那么谁认为家庭应该是一个人的生活的人数1人。

毫无疑问,任何事业在我们生活中起着关键作用。在第一个地方,可以给我们一个职业生涯的目标是生活。没有职业生涯中,大部分时间我们的生活一定会被浪费。更重要的是,职业生涯可以提供一种手段,对我们的生活。大多数人从工作中赚取的收入。另一方面,家庭也是生活中不可缺少的一部分,因为很多人会承认。家庭一直被认为是一个地方,我们可以摆脱生活中的麻烦。此外,我们可以得到一个属于家庭的感觉。没有它,人会感到孤独和绝望。

在我看来,职业和家庭是不反对对方。相反,它们可以加强彼此,使自己的生活能够越来越好。因此,它不是对与错之间的选择,但理想和现实之间的一个。

我们坚信着一份耕耘,一份收获;深信着每一颗稚嫩的种子都能长成苍天大树;相信着草长莺飞的二月之后一定会有硕果累累的秋……为此,每一步的风雨兼程,我们都不忍驻足痴望,用倍镜将一切放大,如此,成功固然值得喜悦,但失败却也让我们不堪一击。

我们都忘了,并不是每一份耕耘都会有收获,也并不是每一颗种子都会发芽,和煦的春背后也可能是萧瑟的秋。

草席破庐,一轮明月写下了数十年的艰辛困苦,本为一方帝,却成一阶囚。我们只记得卧薪尝胆,却忘了他本是励精图治的帝王,但世事无常。数十年如一日的坚持,细水长流,积少成多,不记眼前得失,一颗种子埋下,整整十年,方得始终。

十年足以将伤痕用时间磨光,让一切重新来过,为帝失败本就打碎了一身傲骨,但坚守心中的信念,不计较眼前的得失,默默耕耘,蓦然回首之际,执念成山,事如海,远处的玉树银花是对帝业曾经失败过的馈赠。

一座茅房,一口古井,摇曳的烛火曾记下每一个悬梁刺股的夜晚,耄耋之龄,方为贡士。我们只记得篇篇精彩的精怪小说,却忘了他三联夺冠时的名噪一方,但事无顺遂。几十年的不曾放弃,低头做,笔不辍,远处的那畔,一朵璨花在无声绽放,终有一日,水到渠成,心上花开。

整整六十四年,风烟五津,艰难困苦,只为求得一纸功名,万丈红尘之后,梦境成书,终入仕。心田上的束束花开,是对过去次次失败的惠赠。

科学与宗教的精彩相交,艺术与文学的理解阐述,第四本书的大获全胜,让我们忘记了丹布朗前几本书的无人问津,当作品搬上银幕,杂志上的一篇篇报道,终是茧化成蝶,蜕变前的黯淡无光,在天空飞舞时将不复存在。

每一本书都是一个作家的心血凝结,上面写满了作者的希望与期待,每一本的失败都是一个巨大的打击,几番‘风云变幻’后,纷飞的蝶,是对曾经不成功的续写。

曾国藩曾说:天下事一一责报,则必有大失望之时。一生何其短暂,一世何其迅速,无论以何种态度、方式生活,时间都走的飞快,与其计较成功与得失,不若环顾四周,看看自身,以淡泊之心走在红尘陌上,得之我幸,失之我命。在走向生命的潜流时回头看看,或许,所求的就在眼前。

努力不一定有所得,但不努力一定一无所获。

篇4:传统文化英语作文高5

The passage mainly tells us the importance of protecting traditional

Chinese culture, which is challenged or facing extinction because of the

developing society and changing lifestyle. Besides, China is nationwide sparing

no efforts to do it.

The protection of national and folk culture is of great significance to

Chinese cultural diversity and also to the harmonious development between local

economic and social development. It is reported that the Guangdong government

pays special attention to protecting Chaoju(潮剧), a local drama born in Chaozhou

in the eastern Guangdong province.

In my opinion, some measures should be taken to protect traditional culture

effectively. To start with, we should make a law to regulate the society’s

performance. Besides, we should draw more people’s attention to it, for the more

they know about the importance of culture protection, the stronger the support

we can get from the public.

In a word, it is high time for us to treasure and develop our own valuable

culture.

So,although some cults may have adopted Halloween as their favorite "holiday," the day itself did not grow out of evil practices.It grew out of the rituals of Celts celebrating a new year,and out of Medieval prayer rituals of Europeans.And today,even many churches have Halloween parties or pumpkin carving events for the kids.After all,the day itself is only as evil as one cares to make it.

万圣节是纪念庆祝10月31日晚,尤其是在服饰打扮儿童和挨家挨户上门收集糖果.这是在庆祝西方世界很多,不过大多数在美国,大多数其他西方国家接受,作为美国流行文化在20世纪后期的一部分万圣节.

因此,尽管有些邪教可能采用为他们最喜爱的“节日万圣节,”这一天本身却没有增加邪恶的作法.它的前身是在庆祝新年凯尔特人仪式,并指出欧洲中世纪的祈祷仪式.今天,甚至很多教会万圣节南瓜雕刻政党或为孩子们的活动.毕竟,这一天本身是邪恶的,只是作为一个关心使然.

我即将跨入中学的大门,成为一名中学生。回想起之前付出的辛苦,再看看现在的成功,快乐和酸涩涌上我的心头。

几年来,无论在闷热的夏天,还是在寒冷的冬天,在温暖的学而思教室里,总能看到我的身影。我从学习一些基础的单词到现在已经会读几百字的英语文章,参加考级;从做一些基本的算数题到复杂、较难的应用题。

俗话说:“梅花香自苦寒来”。有付出就一定会有收获。但学习不能过度劳累,要学会劳逸结合,在学习2小时的情况下应该休息10--20分钟,缓解眼力疲劳。

要想成功,光付出努力还不够,要学会上课认真听讲,思维跟着老师走,活学活用,举一反三。不能盲目记笔记、抄答案,要理解这道题意思,才能真正记住方法。

在考二中分校前,我参加了一个二中分校的辅导班。学习几次课后就会进行语、数、英三课考试,这几次考试的成绩对我成入二中分校有很大的帮助。

在考试那天,我报考了二中和东直门这两个学校。二中分校是先进行了量化,然后去考了口试。口试主要是读一篇英语小短文,用英语回答几个小问题。然后东直门中学却是三科综合的考试。也是先读一篇英语小短文,用英语回答几个问题,再问你三科哪科课最难?为什么?最后给你出一些奥数和语文题。

我去东直门中学考完试后,二中分校就给我们打了电话叫我们过去。我顿时欣喜若狂,迫不及待地过去。教导处主任告诉我们,我只能上普通班,开学后再参加数学实验班的考试。这条消息犹如倾天霹雳般把我的心情由太阳便成了乌云。经过大家的商量,最终还是决定跟二中分校签约了。

当时,我也暗暗下定决心,在这短短的几周里努力学习数学,争取考上数学实验班。现在我正在参加学而思分班考试的补习班,我相信,有付出就一定有收获。

The Great Wall of China is called the "Ten thousand Ii Great Wall" in

Chinese. In fact, it s more than 6 000 kilometres long. It winds its way from

west to east, across deserts, over mountains, through valleys till at last it

reaches the sea.It is one of the wonders of the world.The Great Wall has a history of over twenty centuries. The first part of it

was built during the Spring and Autumn Period.

During the Warring States Period, more walls were put up to defend the

borders of the different kingdoms.It was during the Qin Dynasty that the kingdom of Qin united the dif ferent

parts into one empire.

To keep the enemy out of his empire, Emperor Qin Shi Huang had all the

walls joined up. Thus, the Great Wall came into being.The Great Wall is wide enough at the top for five horses or ten men to walk

side by side.Along the wall are watchtowers, where soldiers used to keep watch.Fires were lit on the the towers as a warning when the enemy came.It was very difficult to build such a wall in the ancient days without any

modern machines.

All the work was done by hand. Thousands of men died and were buried under

the wall they built. The Great Wall was made not only of stone and earth, but of

the flesh and blood of millions of men.

Today the Great Wall has become a place of interest not only to the Chinese

but to people from all over the world. Many of them have come to know the famous

Chinese saying: "He who does not reach the Great Wall is not a true man."
