我有一个好朋友,她叫许雅清,今年十岁了。她家里并不富裕,但每天都穿的干干静静的。

清清长着一双宝石般的黑眼睛,有着一个小巧玲珑的鼻子,一张能说会道的小嘴和一头乌黑亮丽的头发,真惹人喜爱。

她的穿戴很简洁,不像其他人一样,一天换一身衣服,而是只要有两件衣服就可以过一个夏天。不过,每次见到她,总是干干净净,整整齐齐的。

我的好朋友清清很活泼,但是,她也很胆小。有空的时候,我总是喜欢和她一起玩耍。她非常喜欢看书,走路看是,睡觉之前看书,连坐车都要看书。因此,她早早就戴上了近视镜。

有一次,我和清清在花园里玩耍,发现一条蚯蚓。我小心翼翼地把蚯蚓捡了起来,让她闭上眼睛把手伸开。我慢慢地把蚯蚓放在她的手上,谁知她看到蚯蚓吓的面如土色,一下把蚯蚓甩出老远,又

蹦又跳,大叫:“救命!救命啊!”过了好大一会儿,她才慢慢的镇定下来。有几个小朋友听到叫声,都跑了过来,看到一条小蚯蚓把她吓成那样,都忍不住在一旁哈哈大笑。

这就是我那既活泼又胆小,还爱看书的好朋友——许雅清。

关于城市介绍高中英语作文篇2

Beijing is an ancient city with a long history. Back in 3000 years ago in Zhou dynasty, Beijing, which was called Ji at the moment, had been named capital of Yan. Thereafter, Liao, Jin, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasty all made Beijing their capital. Therefore, Beijing was famous for "Capital of a thousand years".

The long history leaves Beijing precious cultural treasure. Winding for several kilometers in Beijing area, the Great Wall is the only man-made structure that could been seen in the space. The Summer Palace is a classic composition of ancient royal gardens, and the Forbidden City is the largest royal palaces in the world. Tiantan is where the emperor used to fete their ancestors, and also the soul of Chinese ancient constructions. The four sites above has been confirmed world cultural heritage by UNESCO. However, the best representatives for Beijing are the vanishing Hutongs and square courtyards. Through hundreds of years, they have become symbol of Beijings life. Tiananmen square being still brilliant today with cloverleaf junctions and skyscrapers everywhere, the old-timey scene and modern culture are combined to present a brand new visage of Beijing.

As Beijing has been confirmed home city of Olympics 2008, the spirit of "green Olympics, scientific Olympics and humanized Olympic" will surely bring more and more changes to Beijing, promote the development of sports and Olympics in China as well as in the world, and strengthen the friendly communications between Chinese and foreign people.

Dear Mary,

I have been living in Beijing for some time now and I find it very

interesting here.

There are so many similarities between Beijing and London. They are both

the capital of the country and are both very important cities. Both places have

huge populations. They are both the economical, political and cultural center.

They both have many historical and cultrual

I also found many differences in the two cities. In London we drive on the

left side of the road, while in Beijing they drive on the right side. Most

people in London go to work via public transportation, here in Beijing most

people rides bycicles. In London the weather is always cloudy, here in Beijing

most the the time it‘s sunny. And in London most student don‘t spend their time

efficiently, but here in Beijing many people speak English cause they study

hard.

Regards,

Everyone:

Hello!

I am a third year master major in automation at ×× University, P. R. China. With tremendous interest in Industrial Engineering, I am writing to apply for acceptance into your Ph.D. graduate program.

Education background

In 1995, I entered the Nanjing University of Science & Technology (NUST) -- widely considered one of the China’s best engineering schools. During the following undergraduate study, my academic records kept distinguished among the whole department. I was granted First Class Prize every semester,In 1999, I got the privilege to enter the graduate program waived of the admission test.

At the period of my graduate study, my overall GPA(3.77/4.0) ranked top 5% in the department. In the second semester, I became teacher assistant that is given to talented and matured students only. This year, I won the Acer Scholarship as the one and only candidate in my department, which is the ultimate accolade for distinguished students endowed by my university. Presently, I am preparing my graduation thesis and trying for the honor of Excellent Graduation Thesis.

Research experience and academic activityWhen a sophomore, I joined the Association of AI Enthusiast and began to narrow down my interest for my future research. With the tool of OpenGL and Matlab, I designed a simulation program for transportation scheduling system. It is now widely used by different research groups in NUST. I assumed and fulfilled a sewage analysis & dispose project for Nanjing sewage treatment plant. This was my first practice to convert a laboratory idea to a commercial product.In retrospect, I find myself standing on a solid basis in both theory and experience, which has prepared me for the Ph.D. program. My future research interests include: Network Scheduling Problem, Heuristic Algorithm research (especially in GA and Neural network), Supply chain network research, Hybrid system performance analysis with Petri nets and Data Mining.

Thank you!

大二的时候,凭着自己的经验和学术研究,我加入了人工智能爱好者协会,并开始缩小我的兴趣我的未来研究。随着OpenGL和Matlab的工具的发展,我设计了一个仿真程序的运输调度系统。现在已经有不同的研究小组在学院广泛应用。我承担并完成了南京市污水处理厂的污水分析处理项目。这是我第一次把一个实验室的想法转换成一个商业产品,回想起来,我发现自己站在坚实的基础上,在理论和经验,这为我准备了博士课程提供了很好的便利。我未来的研究方向包括:网络调度问题的启发式算法的研究(特别是在GA和神经网络),供应链网络的研究,混合动力系统的性能分析与Petri网和数据挖掘。

我有一个这样的好朋友。大家知道吗?她呀,可是一个独立的好孩子。

她的脸是瓜子脸,眼睛大大的,笑起来弯弯的,像两道弯弯的月牙,非常可爱。她的刘海儿往里翘,非常美。

她很乐于帮助别人。有一次在学校晚托,我有一颗糖,正巧她也有一颗。吃完之后,我请求她帮我丢糖纸,她二话不说就答应了。换成别人的话,别人就该说:“不去,你自己不会去吗?”她真是一个乐于助人的朋友。

刚刚我说到她很独立,她怎样独立呢?她的爸爸妈妈都在很远的地方上班,她跟着隔壁的婆婆一起生活。她每天放学都是自己一个人回家,回家之后自己写作业,不需要别人催促去。在家的时候,她也是自己煮饭、煮面吃。即使这样,她的成绩还是很不错的,从不低于90分以下。我觉得大家都应该向她学习,学习她的独立、自己把自己照顾好的能力。

说到这里,大家一起来猜猜她是谁吧。对了,她还有一个好习惯,那就是不懂就问,直到弄懂为止。

The first day is for the welcoming of the deities of the heavens and earth, officially beginning at midnight. Many people, especially Buddhists, abstain from meat consumption on the first day because it is believed that this will ensure longevity for them. Some consider lighting fires and using knives to be bad luck on New Years Day, so all food to be consumed is cooked the day before. For Buddhists, the first day is also the birthday of Maitreya Bodhisattva (better known as the more familiar Budai Luohan), the Buddha-to-be. People also abstain from killing animals.

Most importantly, the first day of Chinese New Year is a time when families visit the oldest and most senior members of their extended family, usually their parents, grandparents or great-grandparents.

Some families may invite a lion dance troupe as a symbolic ritual to usher in the Lunar New Year as well as to evict bad spirits from the premises. Members of the family who are married also give red packets containing cash to junior members of the family, mostly children and teenagers.

While fireworks and firecrackers are traditionally very popular, some regions have banned them due to concerns over fire hazards, which have resulted in increased number of fires around New Years and challenged municipal fire departments work capacity. For this reason, various city governments (e.g., Hong Kong, and Beijing, for a number of years) issued bans over fireworks and firecrackers in certain premises of the city. As a substitute, large-scale fireworks have been launched by governments in cities like Hong Kong to offer citizens the experience.
