421高一英语100字之二:我对考试作弊的看法
全文共 684 字
+ 加入清单It is known to us all that some students cheat in examinations at school.
As students, we often take examinations at school, but sometimes we have too many examinations which are too difficult for us. On the other hand, some of us are lazy and dont work hard at their lessons. So when taking examinations, they sometimes cheat in order to get better results to please their parents and teachers.
In my opinion, it is wrong to cheat in examinations because it breaks the rules of schools. We students should be honest and try to get good results by studying hard instead of cheating in examinations. Whats more, we should improve our study methods and get well prepared for examinations.

+ 加入清单Today was the first day of my new life. I looked at my new books and
checked everything for the new school year. I was excited as well as
worried.
Entering new school, I was curious about everything, new classrooms, new
teachers, new classmates etc. It would be a new start for each student. And what
I was worried about is that I had no friends here. I wondered if no liked to
play with me. Were the teachers strict with students?
I fell relaxed when the teacher asked me, What else could I help you,
freshman?". I found that the teachers were kind and polite, and the classmates
around me were friendly. While I was thinking about how to get on well with my
classmates, my desk mate showed me his favorite Ipad4s. He wanted to play with
me, but I didnt know how to play, so he taught me patiently, and we played
happily.
Worries have gone, and happiness is coming.

我的家乡没有奇特险峻的大山,也没有雄伟壮观的瀑布,更没有远近闻名的景点。但是在我的心中,却有一种美,一种无以名状的美;一种雅而不俗、贵而不鄙的美;一种刻骨铭心、永不逝去的美;让我久久难以忘怀。家乡是生我养我的地方,那里有我熟悉的故土;有我挚爱的亲人;有我的童年、有我美好的回忆。

家乡、是船泊的避风港湾,在遇到困难的时候,它还会诚心的接纳你;家乡、是下雨时的一把伞,在碰到危险的时候,有它给你遮挡;家乡、是久旱荒漠上的一汪清泉,在你走投无路的时候,它还在默默的为你鼓励、加油,让那一句“山重水复疑无路,柳暗花明又一村”成为现实;家乡还是出海时的明灯,在你不知道前进方向的时候,它还在前面正确的为你指引。
家乡,听上去还是那么亲切。它就是默默立在我后面的靠山、是我饥饿时的饭菜、是我生病时的膏药、是我心灵最深处的温暖。家乡的那寸方土,曾让我踏过,它是那么的平稳。家乡的那丝细流,曾让我喝过,它是那么甜润。家乡的那些食物,曾喂养我长大,它是那样的香甜。
不说家乡的山,也不谈家乡的水,更不讲家乡的人,就单单家乡的情,都会让人沉默。
篇4:关于树英语高一
全文共 760 字
+ 加入清单Trees are very useful to people. They provide us with wood and other
products. They give us shade and they help to prevent drought and floods.
Unfortunately, in many parts of our country, people havent realized the
importance of trees. They cut them down at will. They are usually too lazy or
too careless to plant and look after new trees. As a result, the forests
continue to disappear.
Where there are no trees the rain falls on the surface, causing floods, and
carries away with the rich topsoil, in which crops grow so well. When all the
topsoil is gone, nothing remains but worthless deserted.
The big floods of 1998, in parts of China, have already taught us a good
lesson. So every one of us must love trees, protect forests, and keep on
planting trees each year.

篇10:高一英语作文_外表重要吗
全文共 1146 字
+ 加入清单People always attach great importance on the soul, as the saying that beautiful soul overweighs everything, so in the movie, the everlasting theme is that an ugly girl wins the true love at last. Recently, a hot topic of discussing whether the girls’ outlook is important, the fact is that people reach their agreement that outlook really matters, if a person looks terrible, no one will like to make friends with him, let alone to know about him. In my opinion, beautiful soul is of great importance, but if people don’t make themselves look comfortable outside, no one wants to know his inside. We need to clear ourselves, it doesn’t mean we must make up, we should make ourselves look comfortable and confident, we should dress the tidy clothes and make our hair in order. People say outlook is not important, but it doesn’t mean we give up our outlook and let it look terrible.
人们总是赋予心灵很大的重要性,正如有句话说美丽的心灵胜过一切,因此在电影里,永恒的主题是一位长相难看的女孩最终赢得真爱。最近,关于讨论女孩的外表是否重要成为了热门话题,事实上,人们一致认为外表很重要,如果一个人看起来很糟糕,没有人会喜欢和他交朋友,更不用说去了解他。在我看来,美丽的心灵很重要,但是如果人们没有让自己的外表看起来舒服,没有人会想要了解他的内心。我们需要让自己看起来干净,这不意味着我们必须要化妆,我们应该让自己看起来舒服和自信,应该穿着整齐,发型不乱。人们说外表不重要,但是不意味着我们放弃外表,让自己看起来糟糕。

篇12:高一英语作文:love of life
全文共 1695 字
+ 加入清单it hurts to love someone and not be loved in return. but what is more painful is to love someone and never find the courage to let that person know how you feel.a sad thing in life is when you meet someone who means a lot to you, only to find out in the end that it was never meant to be and you just have to let go.
the best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation youve ever had.its true that we dont know what weve got until we lose it, but its also true that we dont know what weve been missing until it arrives.it takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone- but it takes a lifetime to forget someone. dont go for looks; they can deceive. dont go for wealth, even that fades away. go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.
dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.always put yourself in the others shoes. if you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the person too.a careless word may kindle strife; a cruel word may wreck a life; a timely word may level stress; a loving word may heal and bless.the happiest of people dont necessarily have the best of everything they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.
love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, ends with a tear. when you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. live your life so that when you die, youre the one smiling and everyone around you is crying.

目前,新的生活方式称为低碳生活传播我们国家的每一个角落。低碳的概念是低能耗和废物。这是个重大项目,我迫不及待地表达我的想法如何实现它。
On the first place, a no-car day is supposed to set up every week in our school. Because cars not only cause serious air pollution but also waste energy. On no-car day, neither students nor teachers are allowed to drive to school. Meanwhile, just walk, jump, cycle or run. Use our legs and enjoy the fun.
在第一个地方,一个无车日应该是在我们学校设立每周。因为汽车不仅会造成严重的空气污染,又浪费能源。对无车日,学生和老师都不允许开车去学校。同时,只是走,跳,循环或运行。使用我们的腿和享受的乐趣。
On the second place, we had best not use plastic bags any more. No one can stand the “white pollution”。 So, it is wise to use bags which can be reused again and again. Finally, one thing that we should keep in mind: every big thing comes from the subtle. Therefore, as students, we ought to turn out the lights the moment we leave, turn off the tap in time, and reuse our textbook and so on.
第二,我们最好不要使用塑料袋再。没有人能忍受“白色污染”。因此,使用袋可重复使用一次又一次是明智的。最后,有一件事,我们应该牢记:每一个大的东西都来自微妙。因此,作为学生,我们应该关灯当我们离开,关闭水龙头的时间,我们的教科书和重用等。
All in all, it weighs greatly for all of us to put the low carbon lifestyle into practice. Just set our mind to these: no-car day, no plastic bags, and no waste. Let‘s do it now.
总之,它的重量为我们所有人付诸实践低碳生活。只是这些设置我们的思想:无车日,没有塑料袋,没有浪费。让我们现在就做。
篇14:以诚信为主题高一英语
全文共 1427 字
+ 加入清单Recently, I have seen an impressive film—“Meet the Parents”, which is about
a woman Palm brought her boyfriend Greg to her parents’ home to spend holiday.
In the film, Greg was so dishonest to Palm’s parents that Palm’s father is
suspicious of his behavior and quality. As a result, Greg is obnoxious to all
and has to leave. As far as I am concerned, the consequence is heavily caused by
his dishonesty. If Greg could be real him all the time, he would get much
respect and appreciation and would not get much frustration. From the film, I
have learned that being honest was extremely important and necessary. In other
words, being honest is a basic principle for us to deal with others.
For one thing, we will not get others’ trust unless we are honest. If we
deceive others, we would get the same in return, and even no one would make
friends with us or even communicate with us. For another, we will get others’
respect and appreciation if telling the truth. Telling the truth and being
ourselves, we will get a healthy and peaceful surrounding to grow up better.
However, something strange happens in our society. There is a strange
phenomenon that honest people suffer but the dishonest benefit a lot. It made
some people have a suspicion that being honest is not so important.
But I still believe that these are just a few cases, since honesty is
deeply rooted in our minds and we still consider it as a basic principle in
social contacts.
