全文共 1006 字
+ 加入清单It is reported that thick fog and haze surround many parts of China. People
have to wear masks when they go out.As air pollution is getting increasingly
worse,it has become the main concern of people.
Air pollution can have serious consequences for human’s health and also

effects result in warmer weather,acid rains corrode the earth,and frequent haze

high-emission vehicles.Factories should meet standards for curbing emissions of
pollutants in surrounding cities.Meanwhile, provinces and municipalities in each
target region should set up a mechanism for the joint prevention and control of
air pollution.
篇2:有关坚持英语初一
全文共 1550 字
+ 加入清单Behind every great achievement in anyones life lies perseverance. We see
this in every human endeavor. Outstanding sportsmen spend all their time
practising. Their endurance is beyond imagination.
The same is true of businessmen who build up fortunes. What we usually see
are their achievements, but once we go behind the scenes we will find that they
have put in a lot of continual steady efforts. We all have read of great
musicians, writers and inventors who have created or discovered breakthroughs in
human achievement. Invariably they have said that they owe all their success to
perseverance. As to college students, quite a big number of then, have become
successful language learners through perseverance, however, a certain group of
them, just stop half way and their previous efforts turn out to be
fruitless.
Of all the countless examples the saga of Colonel Saunders is perhaps one
of the most outstanding. The 65-year-old man from Kentucky had a dream to start
a chain of fried chicken restaurants all over the world. To realize his dream,
he knew that he needed a restaurant owner to go into partnership with him to
open the first restaurant and to fry chicken according to the secret recipe he
had. Colonel Saunders had knocked on 1008 doors before he finally found his
partner. It is doubtful whether many of us would have had the perseverance to
knock even a hundred doors.
From the above discussion we can draw a conclusion that success comes to
anyone who keeps working perseveringly and lack of perseverance can only result
in frustration and failure.

篇5:关于故宫的英语作文初中
全文共 3582 字
+ 加入清单The imperial palace, also known as the Forbidden City, is the imperial
palace of the Ming and qing dynasties, which is the largest and most complete
ancient architectural complex in China. I especially want to know the
architecture of ancient palaces and the living environment of ancient
emperors.
One weekend in the golden autumn, the sun is shining and the autumn wind is
crisp. My mother and I went to visit the Palace Museum in the center of the
city. I was very happy.
Enter the gate of the Forbidden City, "wow! Its so big here!" I couldnt
help it. The mother said, "the most spectacular is still in the back!" We first
visited the architectural model of the imperial palace and its construction. I
know that the imperial palace covers an area of over 720,000 square meters, with
more than 9,000 rooms, all wooden structures, and all the wooden structures have
no nails. The palace is the blue and white stone base, the tall roof, the yellow
glazed tile, the pattern of the dragon everywhere, and decorated with the
brilliant color of the golden wall. I observed all the palaces, and found that
the palaces were lined up along the north-south axis, and spread out to the
sides, to the north and south, and to the right and left. I told mom, I found
mother listen to nod a smile, said: "the central axis not only in the Forbidden
City, and nanda YongDingMen, north to the drum tower, almost throughout the
whole city. Its magnificent, well-planned and spectacular.
We have been visiting the taihe temple from the imperial garden. What a
breathtaking view! In the Forbidden City, the most striking is the "three halls"
: the hall of supreme harmony, the hall of harmony, the hall of protection and
the temple. They are all built on the 8-meter-high base of the white jade, which
looks like the qiong yuyu in the myth. The first hall of supreme harmony was the
most magnificent building. People called it the "throne room". It was the place
where the emperor held the grand ceremony. It is 28 meters high, 63 meters, 35
meters north and south, and a large pillar with a diameter of 1 meter. Among
them, six large pillars, one meter in diameter around the throne, are flat
dragon pillars of leached gold. The throne is located at the base of the two
meters high in the temple, with the graceful crane and the top of the furnace,
followed by a carefully carved screen. The whole hall is decorated with golden
walls, which are both majestic and magnificent. The hall of neutralization was
the place where the emperor went to the hall of supreme harmony to take a rest
and exercise etiquette. Baohe and the temple are the place where the emperor
gives banquet to the king of the foreign land every New Year. This is just the
palace buildings, and house decoration is numerous, the rarities of the mother
said: "these treasures is only part of it, when Chiang kai-shek fled to Taiwan
carried away many treasure palace, there are some loss in a foreign country". I
feel sorry for the loss of these treasures. When will these lost treasures
return to the embrace of the motherland? I am looking forward to the reunion of
Taiwan and mainland as soon as possible.
The visit of the Forbidden City made me linger. The Palace Museum is an
unparalleled masterpiece. It is a miracle. Our five thousand years of Chinese
culture are profound and profound, and we should be proud and proud to have
built such a magnificent palace for the ancients. At the same time, we also have
the responsibility to protect these cultural relics from destruction, so that
the five thousand years of splendid civilization of the motherland will be
handed down.
篇6:中秋节的英语高中
全文共 2221 字
+ 加入清单I think Mid-Autumn Day is an old traditional festival in China。 Everybody likes it because its a family get-together。 You see it is called"Mid-Autumn Day", so it often es in September or October。 It is on the 15th of the 8th of the lunar month。 Now, lets say something about this interesting festival。
Firstly, Id like to say something about the moon。 I like it very much because I want to be an astronaut in the future。 That day the moon is round, big, just like a beautiful plate hanging on the blue cloth。 When I see the moon, I will remember the ancient myths——the godess Chang Er and her little rabbit are playing under the tree which Wu Gang grows。 I will also think about Armstrongs first moonwalk。 I will also miss the friends in Tai-wan island, in Macao and Chinese people who are abroad。 I know they are missing us very much, too。
Secondly, I11 say something about the tradition on Mid-Autumn Day。 Look!Theres a big tree in a garden of a Chinese fami-ly。 All the family members are sitting around a big table under the tree in the open air。 They are eating the mooncakes and admiring the full moon in the sky。 That is a family reunion dinner。 The mooncakes and the moon represent the love from a family。 I think this is one of the most valuable things in the world。
Thirdly,it is a very good opportunity to make three wishes on Mid-Autumn Day。 My wishes are: the first, I, an astronaut in the future, would like to go to the moon one day, and stay with the sky and stars; the second, I hope every person in the world will stay with family, share love from the family forever; the third, I hope everybodys dream will e true。
That is the Mid-Autumn Day in my mind。 I will always re-member: East or West, home is best。
我认为中秋节是中国古老的传统节日。每个人都喜欢它,因为它是一个家庭聚会。你看它被称为“中秋节”,所以通常在九月或十月。这是在农历八月十五日。现在,让我们谈谈这个有趣的节日。
首先,我想谈谈月亮问题。我非常喜欢它,因为我希望将来成为一名宇航员。那天月亮是圆的,大的,就像一块美丽的盘子挂在蓝色的布上。我看到月亮,我会记得古老的神话 - 长女和她的小兔子正在吴刚生长的树下玩耍。我也会想到阿姆斯特朗的第一次月球漫步。我也会想念台湾的朋友们岛上,澳门和国外的中国人。我知道他们也非常想念我们。
其次,我要谈谈中秋节的传统。看!中国家庭的花园里有一棵大树。所有的家庭成员都坐在树下的一张大桌子旁边露天。他们正在吃月饼,欣赏天空中的满月。这是一个家庭聚会晚餐。月饼和月亮代表了一个家庭的爱。我认为这是世界上最有价值的东西之一。
第三,这是一个非常好的机会,在中秋节做出三个愿望。我的愿望是:第一,我,未来的宇航员,有一天想去月球,和天空和星星呆在一起; 第二,我希望世界上每个人都能和家人在一起,永远地与家人分享爱意; 第三,我希望每个人的梦想都是真的。
那是我心中的中秋节。我将永远重新成员:东方或西方,家是最好的。
篇7:关于树英语高一
全文共 2462 字
+ 加入清单Each year, people burn or cut down 143,000 square kilometers (55,000 square
miles) of the forest. People who burn or cut down trees do it for different
reasons: farmers cut down trees in order to get more fertilize lands to grow
rice or vegetables, and use the woods as fuel. Timber companies cut down trees
and turn them into furniture or paper productions. As to goal miners, they
remove the forests to find out whether there are goal underground.
However, many of us fail to realize that forests are the lungs of the
earth. When we cut down trees, we also push ourselves in to a dangerous
situation. That is the global warming. When you come to think about it, there
are only few ways to solve these negative effects: stop cutting down trees
blindly; try to find some clear energy that can replace oil and coal. But these
solutions can be impractical to some degreed.
Why trees can be so important to the whole nature? First of all, trees are
the habitat of many animals. When we cut down trees, we not only destroy
animals’ habitats but also ourselves. We just gradually destroy natural links.
The result is that many spices of animals and plants are dying out. Secondly,
cutting down trees cause global warming, to some degree. Naturalists compare
forest to human’s lungs. The forests absorb the carbon dioxide and other gas
that cause global warming, and then give off the oxygen that good for the human
beings and other living creatures. It’s refreshed the air as well as reduced the
noise. If the air quality is bad, people may die from cancers, or the new
diseases for which they have no immunity. Forests also play an important role in
the prevention of natural disasters. Warmer temperatures cause water to expand
and also create more water by melting polar ice caps. That’s to say, the nations
which near the ocean may have been flooded by the water. But the forests can
prevent water loss and soil erosion, and cool off the global temperatures. It’s
the key to keep the balance of the nature.
Sometimes people only care about money making; they don’t care about the
price we pay for the pollution. When the disaster is around the corner, we may
be afraid and frustrated. The earth, on which our economies have always been
based, is suddenly threatening our existence. All we hope that is this
overpopulated, over industrialized planet can carry on for a longer time. And
maybe, it’s time for us to realize that we should protect the earth, stop
cutting down trees blindly and madly.
篇8:我的梦想英语作文初中
全文共 1255 字
+ 加入清单Unlike Martin Luther King’s, my dreams are fair and plain, and there are
many of them. I have a dream from the first time I sit in a car—I want to
drive.
Driving is like running without foot, racing without strength. It’s the
most meaningful way to meet human being’s desire of “faster”. When driving, I
have to put all my spirit to. Operating a car at ease will cost years of
experience.
Driving will take me to my wanting destination, no matter it rains or snows
or winds. I never am afraid of shoes wet, umbrella broken or ears frozen. A car
is rather like a moving house, which protects me completely and helps me rush
directly to the aim hanging ahead. That suits my nature perfectly: love to take
risks conservatively. A smooth ride in a good car is an enjoyable satisfaction.
Seeing rows of trees moving backward rapidly, a feeling of stepping forward will
fill fully in my mind. With music hovering, breeze blowing, my soul flies in the
air.
I was always sick when took a ride of a car, especially when I was young.
Father told me that a driver would never have carsick. That may be one of the
important reasons for me to desire driving.
This summer I am going to learn driving and get my car license. The dream
with all my heart will follow the promise it had made.

+ 加入清单"Yeah, right. It isn’t that easy." I protested.
"Yes it is, " Michael said. "Life is all about choices. When you cut away
all the junk, every situation is a choice. You choose how you react to
situations. You choose how people will affect your mood. You choose to be in a
good mood or bad mood. The bottom line is: It’s your choice how you live life. "
I reflected on what Michael said.
Soon thereafter, I left the big enterprise that I had worked in for years
to start my own business. We lost touch, but I often though about him when I
made a choice about life instead of reacting to it. Several years later, I heard
Michael was involved in a serious accident, falling off 60 feet from a
communications tower.
After l8 hours of surgery, and weeks of intensive care, Michael was
released from the hospital with rods placed in his back. I saw Michael about six
months after the accident. When I asked him how he was, he replied, "If I were
any better, I’d be twins. Wanna see my scars?" I declined to see his wounds, but
did ask him what had gone through his mind as the accident took place.
"The first thing that went through my mind was the well being of my
soon-to-born daughter," Michael replied. "Then, as I lay on the ground,
remembered I had two choices: I could choose to live or I could choose to die. I
chose to live." "Weren’t you scared? Did you lose consciousness?" I asked.
Michael continued, "... the paramedics were great. They kept telling me I was
going to be fine. But when they wheeled me into the operation room and I saw the
expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared. In
their eyes, l read ’He’s a dead man.’ I knew I needed to take action." "What did
you do?" I asked. "Well, there was a big burly nurse shouting questions at me”
said Michael. "She asked me if I was allergic to anything. ‘Yes,’ I said. The
doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply. I took a deep
breath and yelled", ‘Gravity’” Over their laughter, I told them, ’I’m choosing
to live. Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead’."
Michael lived, thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his
amazing attitude. I Learned from him that every day we have a choice to live
fully. Attitude is everything.
