One winter afternoon, I went to the balcony to wash my hands. Suddenly I saw a bird hiding in the corner of the balcony, trembling all over. I crept close to the bird and saw a broken wing on the birds wing. It was still bleeding. I see a bird fly near it, but dont fly to the corner close to the eyes, staring at me, afraid I hurt it, a faint voice.

I quickly called mom, mom said: “ Oh, this bird is so dirty, hurry away. &rdquo: I quickly said, "&ldquo, no, no, the bird is good for the birds. The little bird is hurt again. Its pathetic. His mother cant find it. Itll hurt.". &rdquo, mum nodded.

I put the bird in a pot, help it deal with the wound, then sprinkle some millet in a pot, put a glass of water.

A few days later, the bird got hurt and played with me, singing and singing as if to say, "&ldquo, boy, thank you."! ”

One day, when I went to see the bird again, I suddenly found the bird disappeared. I think the bird should be looking for mother and son!

It is truth that gender discrimination still exists when female comes to find work, some females never mention her gender on the resume, just to make sure that the employers will give them the chances to get the interview. Females should improve their competiveness, so that they will have more work chances.

事实上，当女性去找工作的时候，性别歧视仍然存在，一些女性从来不在简历上提到自己的性别，仅仅是为了确保雇主能给她们机会面试。女性应该提高她们的竞争力，这样她们就会有的工作机会。

First, the female should show their positive attitudes toward the life and work. Female students should see their advantages clearly before hunting for a job, and highlight it in their resumes. For instance, they might emphasize that they are careful and considerate in work, patient and cooperate with colleagues as well. But the positive toward life and work brings them to a high level, which will impress the employer.

第一，女性应该展示她们乐观的生活和工作态度。女学生应该在找工作前清楚地了解她们的优势，并在简历上面强调。比如，她们可以强调她们在工作上认真和细心，对同事有耐心和乐于合作。但是乐观的生活和工作态度能让她们更上一个台阶，也能给雇主留下深刻的印象。

Second, female students must be confident. Lots of big companies like to hold a group discussion to select people, those who are silent and find it difficult to get involved in the discussion will not be considered. The employers think such people are not confident and won’t do well in the work.

第二，女学生必须自信。很多大型公司喜欢举行小组讨论来选人，那些保持沉默和难以融入讨论的人是不被考虑在内的。雇佣者认为这样的人不自信，无法胜任工作。

It is necessary for women to improve competiveness, if they want to go further than males. The positive attitude and being confident will let female win more chances.

对于女性来讲，提高竞争力是很重要的，如果他们想要比男性走得更远些。乐观的态度和表现自信会让女性赢得的机会。

篇4：民俗文化英文

全文共 2149 字

A folk culture is a small isolated， cohesive， conservative， nearly self-sufficient group that is homogeneous in custom and race with a strong family or clan structure and highly developed rituals. Order is maintained through sanctions based in the religion or family and interpersonal. Relationships are strong. Tradition is paramount， and change comes infrequently and slowly. There is relatively little division of labor into specialized duties. Rather， each person is expected to perform a great variety of tasks， though duties may differ between the sexes. Most goods are handmade and subsistence economy prevails. Individualism is weakly developed in folk cultures as are social classes. Unaltered folk cultures no longer exist in industrialized countries such as the United States and Canada. Perhaps the nearest modern equivalent in Anglo America is the Amish， a German American farming sect that largely renounces the products and labor saving devices of the industrial age. In Amish areas， horse drawn buggies still serve as a local transportation device and the faithful are not permitted to own automobiles. The Amish＇s central religious concept of Demut "humility"， clearly reflects the weakness of individualism and social class so typical of folk cultures and there is a corresponding strength of Amish group identity. Rarely do the Amish marry outside their sect. The religion， a variety of the Mennonite faith， provides the principal mechanism for maintaining order.

By contrast a popular culture is a large heterogeneous group often highly individualistic and a pronounced many specialized professions. Secular institutions of control such as the police and army take the place of religion and family in maintaining order， and a money-based economy prevails. Because of these contrasts， "popular" may be viewed as clearly different from "folk". The popular is replacing the folk in industrialized countries and in many developing nations. Folk-made objects give way to their popular equivalent， usually because the popular item is more quickly or cheaply produced， is easier or time saving to use or leads more prestige to the owner.

Trees are an important kind of natural resources. Some of them, such as those fruit trees, can provide us with some food we need in our daily life while others may serve as indispensible raw materials. Our houses, furniture, paper are all produced out of trees.

Trees also play an important role in improving our environment. On the one hand, they can take in carbon dioxide but discharge oxygen for us; on the other hand, they can prevent soil erosion effectively.

Trees are so beneficial to our life that we are supposed to protect and plant more trees. Only in this way can our life become more convenient and the air much fresher.

oh god! i think i was about seven and half when my sisters and i pulled this stupid stunt. i remember watching television with them and the show on happened to be our favorite program to watch. all of a sudden we heard my brother, chris, yelling from the backyard. so we all headed out there to see what happened. when we finally located him, he was in a tree hanging from the highest tree branch. crying, he explained to us that he had climbed up the tree and couldnt get down. we thought, okay, one of us should climb up and get him off, but we couldnt manage to get him moving down.

it was then my youngest sister, ka, who was five and a half at the time had seen a similar situation. she suggested we grab a sheet, hold it under the branch chris was hanging off of, and tell him to drop so we can catch him. my other sister, yams, who is one year younger than me, peered at me to confirm the idea and i said "yeah, lets try that".so we grabbed a sheet from the closet and went to hold it beneath the tree. now mind you, the ages holding this blanket were ranging from seven and a half to five and a half, thus the sheet was probably being held up to our waist and also close to touching the ground. but we were confident it could work.

we looked up to chris and he looked down at us a bit hesitant. i dont blame him the poor guy. it was then we told him to let go and to fall on his back. chris looked at me and asked "are you sure ill land on the blanket?" now, my brother at the age of four, had a cute squeaky voice. but because of a problem at birth with his tongue being a bit attached to the mouth, it came out more like this, "ah you sho awill lan on da blanked?", "yup!", i told him, "were sure!" and he let go.now when i think about chris letting go of that branch, i think of his faith in me and my sisters and i also think how stupid he was to trust us, cause when that boy let go he was in for a big surprise. chris fell right through that sheet and landed right on his stomach. and no matter how tight we held on to the sheet, he still managed to get through.

we were shocked and a bit worried and we looked at the ground where he landed. this tiny seventy pound boy had made a hole right through the sheet and landed. he was positioned like one of those chalk drawings you find after a homicide, with one arm near the head another to the side and the knee bent a bit. we might as well have drawn an outline because he wasnt moving. so we bent down to check if he was still alive and when we asked him if he was okay he uttered these five words… "ah stee hi da flow" in other words, "i still hit the floor!" poor little man! but before you condemn us, chris is fourteen now and he still bugs us about it, any tree he climbs he gets down on his own and, strangely, he wants to be a fireman when he grows up. now he can write that he had personal experience about jumping and catching. see, no harm done…

Dear Santa Claus,

Hello, as time goes by, the sun and the moon fly so fast, and it will be

Christmas soon, you have to give gifts to obedient and very good children. It

reminds me of this time last year. Its long before Christmas and Im thinking

about what I want for Christmas. A few days before Christmas, I put my wish card

in front of my bed early, hoping Santa Claus can see it and help me realize it.

You may be asking, "Why put up the wish card so early? Why not wait until

Christmas Eve?" My answer is: That is because I am afraid you sent the wrong

gift, give you enough time to prepare. On Christmas Eve, I went to bed early,

thinking that I would wake up and open my eyes to see the gift you gave me. But

when I opened my eyes in the morning, I found no present at the end of my bed,

nor on my desk. I was worried because I thought you had hidden the present for

some joke with me. I searched my home carefully, but still there was no present.

I waited another day with great anticipation, but you and your gift still did

not appear. My mother told me that because they do not care for the environment,

Shijiazhuang is seriously polluted, haze weather is bad, you lost your way, so

you can not send Christmas gifts to the children on time. Is that right? Three

days later, I finally received your gift, which was accompanied by a letter of

apology. In the letter, you explained that due to the weather, you delayed the

delivery of the gift. At the same time, you also hoped that we could take good

care of the environment and be guardians of the environment.

Dear Santa Claus, another year has passed, in this year, my friends and I,

protect the environment, save water, try to be a good environmental small guard,

at the same time we also mobilize our father, mother, uncle, aunt and we take

action together, less drive a day a week, green travel. After our joint efforts,

shijiazhuang sky blue, water green, I believe this time you will be able to send

gifts to the children on time!

Looking forward to your friend: Li Zijian

亲爱的圣诞老人：

您好，时光流逝，日月如梭，马上又要到圣诞节了，您又要给听话又很乖的小朋友派送礼物了。说到这就又想起去年的这个时候了，距圣诞节还好久我就开始想圣诞节自己要的礼物。圣诞节前几天，我早早的把自己的愿望卡挂在自己床前，希望圣诞老人能早点看到并帮我实现。您也许会问：“为什么这么早就把愿望卡挂上去呢?为什么不等到平安夜呢?”我的回答是：那是因为我怕您送错了礼物，给您充足的时间来准备。平安夜的晚上，我早早的就上床睡觉了，想着一觉醒来睁开眼就能看到您送我的礼物。可是，当我早上睁开眼睛，发现我床头没有礼物，我的写字台上也没有礼物，我着急了，以为您和我开玩笑把礼物藏起来了，索性把家里认真得找了个遍，还是没有。我怀着期待的心情又等了一天，您和您的礼物仍旧没有出现。妈妈告诉我，是因为他们不爱护环境，石家庄污染严重，雾霾天气恶劣，您迷路了，所以不能准时把圣诞礼物送到小朋友手中。是这样吗?三天后，我终于收到您的礼物，伴随礼物而来的还有您一封致歉信，信中你说明了因为天气原因，致使你延误了礼物的派送的时间，同时您也希望我们能够爱护环境，做环境小卫士。

亲爱的圣诞老人，又一年过去了，在这一年里我和我的小伙伴们，保护环境，节约用水，努力当好环境小卫士，同时我们还动员我们的爸爸、妈妈、叔叔、阿姨和我们一起行动起来，每周少开一天车，绿色出行。经过我们大家的共同努力，石家庄的天蓝了，水绿了，相信这次您一定能够准时将礼物送到小朋友手中啦!

篇17：经典的英文哲理故事2：NineTonsofTrash

全文共 1467 字

A work crew consisting of 150 volunteers worked for eight hours in a light drizzle on Saturday to clean Carson Creek of almost nine tons of debris. “A job well done,” smiled Alan Specter, the director of the event. “We’re scheduled to come back here one more time, three years from now. Of course, we hope that there won’t be nine tons of garbage next time.”

The garbage came in all shapes, sizes, and colors: cans, bottles, bicycles, car tires, autobatteries, sofas, furniture, clothing, shopping carts, bowling balls, plastic bags, dolls, baby carriages, TV antennas, and portable radios. There was even a golf bag with a full set of golf clubs.

Much of the backbreaking work was done by two community groups—the Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts, and two environmental groups—Save the Bay and Watch the Whales. Concerned retirees and volunteers from police and fire departments assisted. Everyone was issued boots, gloves, and rain gear. The work occurred along a two-mile stretch of streambed. The debris was hauled roadside, where trucks lined up to take the trash to the landfill. More than 500 big yellow trash bags were filled.

No one found anything of great value, although a five-year-old boy found an earring that he thought might be worth a million dollars because it was so shiny. He said he would sell it. Then he would donate half of the proceeds to Watch the Whales, and use the other half to buy a triple-scoop ice cream cone every day for the rest of his life.

篇20：元宵节的风俗英文

全文共 1680 字

The Lantern Festival (元宵节) is the last day of the Chinese New Year celebration.

This day is for the last moment for setting off fireworks, the last excuse for eating a big feast and the last chance for family getting together before the “年” celebrations are over. (Latern Festival is also a traditional time of celebration for foreigners who live in China).

The Lantern Festival, the 15th of the first month of the lunar calendar, is the first full moon of the year.

Celebrations and traditions on this day date back to the Western Han Dynasty.

Traditions for this festival: as the name indicates, hanging and looking at lanterns is the main tradition.

Lanterns of various shapes and sizes are displayed on trees, or along river banks.

Parents often take their children to Lantern Fairs and sometimes lucky kids even get a mini toy lantern.

Another tradition is guessing lantern riddles. These are riddles that are hung on lanterns for people to shoot down and solve. The riddles are usually short, wise, and sometimes humorous.

The answer to a riddle can be a Chinese character, a famous persons name, a place name or a proverb. This tradition has become a popular game with serious staying power even as social development changes other traditions.

Other than that, the most important thing to do today is to eat sweet dumplings. In northern China, sweet dumplings made of glutinous rice flour are called “元宵” while in southern part they are called “汤圆”.

Typical sweet dumplings are filled with black sesame sauce, sweetened bean paste, or hawthorn. Making “元宵” today is like a game or an activity, so its seldom done without a reason and a group of friends or family present to help out.
