Should We Help Strangers?

Recently our class had a discussion about whether we should help

strangers.Different students have different opinions.

Some think we should try to help strangers. Helping others is a virtue，and

helping others is helping ourselves.We may come across some trouble and need

others help some day.If everyone isnt willing to help us just because we are

strangers to them，its hard to imagine what our world will be like.

However，some are afraid that helping others can sometimes bring us

trouble.Sometimes we are just misunderstood and even have to pay the cost of

kindness.

In my opinion，we should try our best to help others when they are in need

of help，but we should also protect ourselves from getting into trouble.If

everyone tries a little kindness，our world will be full of love.

Hello everyone！ My name is Chen Jiaobing. I have a pair of eyes, curved eyebrows, not tall nor short, every hair in a ponytail.

My favorite color is blue. My hobby is singing and dancing... My favorite people are my family, my friends and the people worthy of my respect.

My greatest dream is to have wings of angels or elves and fly freely in the blue sky. I am very outgoing, I like to make friends, to be good to friends.

The end of the summer， should have a good rest! But my mother is very busy。

As the daughter of course I want to help my mother to do some。 Early in the

morning I got up， washed the dishes， sweep the floor， cooking and so on， at

noon， I tired， lying on the bed， fan fan， more fortable。

翻译：最后放暑假了，就应好好歇歇了!但是妈妈很忙。作为女儿的我当然要帮妈妈分担些了。一大清早的我就起来了，帮妈妈洗碗，扫地，做饭等等，到了中午，我快累死了，往床上一躺，扇扇电风扇，舒服多了。

“红灯停，绿灯行……”这是众所周知的交通安全口诀，就连上幼儿园的小朋友都能倒背如流。可现实生活中，谁又能严格遵守交通规则呢？

我曾看到这样一组惊人的数字：全世界每年因交通事故而丧生的有10。7万人，占总死亡人数的37?，47万人受伤，损失大约有23亿。看着一条又一条鲜活的生命纷纷离我们远去，我们又有什么理由不珍惜生命，珍惜生命就要从遵守交通规则做起。我们的生活离不开汽车，但汽车在带给我们方便的同时，也带来了一些交通安全隐患，如：

11月3日上午，山东省枣庄二中高三学生，龚钰奔。车祸来临的瞬间，一把推开同学，自己却被?压在大货车下。使他右腿高位截肢，这个酷爱篮球的大哥哥不得不告别他曾经奔跑跳跃的篮球场，不得和他一直以来当兵的梦想说再见。车祸，瞬间改变了他的一切

我们最美女教师—张丽莉老师。也是为了从车轮底下救出自己的学生，却永远的失去了双腿。车祸，使他们失去许多宝贵的东西。他们无愧“最美”的称号。此时此刻，我真想说：“车祸，你这个‘害人精’。一次有一次地夺走那些本不该逝去的生命！”

虽然我们的社会在进步，但人们的安全意识并没有提高。像这样的例子枚不胜举……龚钰奔和张丽莉老师是不幸却又是幸运的，有人因为车祸提前被死神带走了！这些例子为我们深深地敲响了警钟。如果不遵守交通规则，交通事故就像一颗定时炸弹，随时都有可能将生命之花炸得支离破碎。为了您和他人的安全，大家一起遵守交通规则吧！让交通安全永记心中，让安全保障陪伴你我！

车让人，让出一份文明。人让车，让出一份安全。车让车，让出一份秩序。人让人，让出一份和谐！

Years ago, when I started looking for my first job, wise advisers urged, "Barbara, be enthusiastic! Enthusiasm will take you further than any amount of experience." How right they were. Enthusiastic people can turn a boring drive into an adventure, extra work into opportunity and strangers into friends."Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm," wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson. It is the paste that helps you hang in there when the going gets tough. It is the inner voice that whispers, "I can do it!" when others shout, "No, you can’t."

It took years and years for the early work of Barbara McClintock, a geneticist who won the 1983 Nobel Prize in medicine, to be generally accepted. Yet she didn’t let up on her experiments. Work was such a deep pleasure for her that she never thought of stopping.We are all born with wide-eyed, enthusiastic wonder as anyone knows who has ever seen an infant’s delight at the jingle of keys or the scurrying of a beetle.

It is this childlike wonder that gives enthusiastic people such a youthful air, whatever their age.At 90, cellist Pablo Casals would start his day by playing Bach. As the music flowed through his fingers, his stooped shoulders would straighten and joy would reappear in his eyes. Music, for Casals, was an elixir that made life a never ending adventure. As author and poet Samuel Ullman once wrote, "Years wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul."

How do you rediscover the enthusiasm of your childhood? The answer, I believe, lies in the word itself. "Enthusiasm" comes from the Greek and means "God within." And what is God within is but an abiding sense of love — proper love of self (self-acceptance) and, from that, love of others.Enthusiastic people also love what they do, regardless of money or title or power. If we cannot do what we love as a full-time career, we can as a part-time avocation, like the head of state who paints, the nun who runs marathons, the executive who handcrafts furniture. Elizabeth Layton of Wellsville, Kan, was 68 before she began to draw. This activity ended bouts of depression that had plagued her for at least 30 years, and the quality of her work led one critic to say, "I am tempted to call Layton a genius." Elizabeth has rediscovered her enthusiasm.We can’t afford to waste tears on "might-have-beens." We need to turn the tears into sweat as we go after "what-can-be." We need to live each moment wholeheartedly, with all our senses — finding pleasure in the fragrance of a back-yard garden, the crayoned picture of a six-year-old, the enchanting beauty of a rainbow. It is such enthusiastic love of life that puts a sparkle in our eyes, a lilt in our steps and smooths the wrinkles from our souls.

When I lived in my hometown, I liked raining so much, because sometimes I could see the rainbow, it is so beautiful and attractive. I remembered the first time when I saw the rainbow. It was a stuffy afternoon, when I took a nap, I heard it rained, but there was sunshine in the sky. After an hour, the rain stopped. I walked out of my house and took a look at the sky, I saw a long colorful bridge in the sky. It appeared clearly, so close to me, it seemed that I could walk it to the sky. Now I live in the city, but I never see such beautiful rainbow again. The citys buildings cover the sky.

Nowadays in China, the limit to candidates for college entrance examination is not so strict as before. People of all ages and even married people can take the examination and have a chance of becoming a college student. The new regulation has many advantages.

Firstly, it provides more people with chances to receive high education. There are many people who have once lost the chance to enter a college for some reason. Now they can pick up their own dreams of being a college student. Secondly, it will introduce more students with different backgrounds and the abilities for colleges and universities. Finally, it stimulates competition and promotes the candidates to work harder.

However, relaxing the limit of age and marriage might bring some problems. For one thing, married students have to take care of the family and children, which brings more difficulties for school management. For another, there might be a gap between the elder students and the other young students. Therefore, more attention should be paid to the enrollment of those people of other age groups and married persons.

The food in Shanghai disagree me. I think the food in Beijing is the most

delicious. Seafood in Beijing is very fresh. Prawns in restaurant are all alive.

And there are many food that you can’t see in other cities. It is very cheap

that you eat seafood in Beijing. The less money you pay, the more enjoyable you

are. Maybe my stomach is ill. Whatever food I eat, I am still thin. And I am too

thin, I want to be a litter fatter. So I must eat more.

食物在上海不赞同我。我觉得食物在北京是最美味的。海鲜在北京是很新鲜。大虾在餐厅都活着。而且有很多的食物，你不能看到其他城市推广。你吃海鲜在北京是很便宜的。你付出的更少的钱，更多的愉快你。也许我的胃就是生病。我吃什么食物，我还是薄。而我太瘦了，我想成为一个垃圾箱腰包。所以我必须多吃。

It was the second day of our summer holiday. I felt good. I felt I am free. I had a lot of time to do things I like. My parents are in Zhongshan. So I live alone but I don’t feel lonely. But I didn’t do something special. I stayed at home and watched TV. Oh! I wrote an Englishdaily composition. It was my homework. Today, I have slept for 14 hours.I thought I was very tired. It was time for dinner. I must go! I am very hungry.

这是我们第二天的暑假。我感觉很好。我觉得我很自由。我有很多时间做我喜欢。我的父母都在中山。所以，我独自生活，但我并不感到孤独。但是，我没有做什么特别。我住在家里看电视。噢!我写了英语日记组成。这是我的功课。今天，我睡了14 小时.我以为我很疲惫。现在是吃晚饭。我必须去!我非常渴望。

They will want to move one got crowded, with two vehicles to drive side-by-side Qi, refused to give the results can only be caused to vehicle traffic should not avoid each other.

题目预测

阅读下面的材料，根据要求写一篇不少于800字的文章。

出身于音乐世家而如今成为美国证券界风云人物的苏珊说：“如果重新选择，我会毫不犹豫地选择音乐，但我知道那只是美好的”假如“，我只能把手头的工作做好。”

自小喜欢建筑艺术的荆青说：“我因为放弃了不喜欢的公务员职位，才在十年中设计出了今天大家看到的近千个独一无二的楼房样板间。”

歌手王杰说：“我做过茶楼伙计、油漆工、的士司机……我喜欢并感恩做过的每一份工作。”

上述材料中，你更认同哪个人的观点?请综合材料内容及含意作文，体现你的思考、权衡和选择。要求选好角度，明确立意，明确文体，自拟标题，不要套作，不要抄袭。

预测范文

美国证券界风云人物苏珊出生于音乐世家。她说：”如果重新选择，我会选择音乐，但那只是“假如”，我只能把手头的工作做好。“我认为，她的观点正是我们大家所需要并学习的。

荆青、王杰的说法固然没有错，但细细品味下来，他俩所说的不正是苏珊话语的另一种表达吗?一切都没有“如果“，选择就选择了，感恩并活在当下，做好现在所做的事情，不正是我们的每个人所需要的吗?

人要学会自己做出选择，选择之后便要坚定地走下去，正如荆青放弃了公务员的职位，选择了建筑艺术并最终取得了成功。试想，假如她继续干着不喜欢的公务员，心中却惦记着建筑，这样她不可能成功。然而生活没有“如果“，她作出了选择并坚定地走了下去。又如王杰，他的选择较多，但他确定用心将自己所选的工作做好，最后才成就了一代金嗓。

生活没有“如果“，我们不要在踯躅不前，做出自己的选择，不要让今后都在如果那时的悔恨中度过。如果皮尔洛没有选择足球而是继承家业，如果马云没选择踏入互联网市场而是继续干小本生意，如果贝多芬因耳聋放弃了音乐而选择孤独终老……这世界将少去太多美丽，所以不论我们现在身处何方，脚踏何地，做出选择，活在当下才是创造你人生精彩的办法。

没有人能永远做出所谓“正确“的决定，选”错“了也没有关系。让我们面对它，把当下能做的事做好，你的人生也会绽放不一样的光彩。俗话说，”车到山前必有路。“每一个不经意的选择都会成为日后的一个”如果“。坐在考场中写下这行字，也许会成为日后我可以骄傲，可以懊悔的理由，但我不会抱怨一切，生活没有”如果“，一切选择都是自己选的，抱怨当时这样的就好了，那样就好了又有何用呢?徒增烦恼罢了。

苏珊，荆青，王杰都是我们现今所谓的成功人士，但每个人成功道路都是不可复制的，我们却可以自己把握行驶的方向。这样无论结果如何，你想的不会是“如果那时“，而是”我做出了自己的选择，我尽力了。“这也可以笑一切了吧。

“如果“我没有写下这篇文章，我会怎样?我不在乎，我做出了我认为正确的选择，因为：生活没有”如果“。

When we are very small, we dream to be the great person in the future, such as the scientist, the policeman and so on. It is good for the children to own the big dream, so that they will study hard and fight for their future. But the fact is that not all the person can become the great person, most people are doing the ordinary jobs. In my opinion, ordinary is beautiful, too. Though they are not doing the fine jobs, they find their own place and make a contribution to the world. Take the cleaner for example. They wake up early and do the cleaning work. People dare not to do the job because it is so dirty, but the cleaners decorate the city with their hard work. The cleaners are the ordinary people while doing the great job.

在我们很小的时候，梦想将来成为伟大的人，比如科学家，警察等等。孩子有伟大的梦想是好的，这样他们就会努力学习，为他们的将来奋斗。但是事实上，并不是所有的人都能成为伟大的人，大部分人都是做着普通的工作。在我看来，平凡也是美丽的。虽然他们没有做着体面的工作，但是他们找到了自己的位置，为社会做贡献。就拿清洁工来说。他们早早起来做清洁。人们不敢做这份工作，因为脏，但是清洁工通过努力工作去装饰了这个城市。清洁工虽然普通，但是他们却做着伟大的工作。

哲学家苏格拉底曾说：“世界上最快乐的事，莫过于为理想而奋斗”。每个人都有自己的理想，并一直朝着这个目标奋斗着，这的确是一件快乐的事。我也有我自己的理想--做一名英语翻译家。

你们一定想知道我为什么要做英语翻译家？因为我从小就喜欢英语。在我上幼儿园，第一次接触英语的时候，老师教我们读“apple苹果”，“banana香蕉”，老师怕我们不懂，还特意拿来香蕉，指着香蕉对我们说：“这是不是很像‘b’呢？上面瘦瘦的，下面胖胖的。一个个香蕉就成了banana，这样，香蕉的英语是不是很容易拼出来。”老师还教我们学了很多英语单词。从那以后，我就喜欢上了英语。

虽然这个理想对我来说是一件非常遥远的事情，但我愿意为这个理想而努力拼搏。每当我听到别人那一口流利的英语，我都非常羡慕，同时我的心灵也一样受到了鼓舞。我相信只要努力就一定可以做到。现在我会从身边的每一步开始做起，努力学好英语。我希望通过我的努力，可以实现我的梦想。

通向理想的道路是遥远的，艰辛的，但我坚信自己只要为理想奋斗，为理想拼搏，就一定能实现理想。

滴嗒滴嗒的一秒;转眼流过的一分;一现及过的一时;风驰电掣的一日;飞奔而过的一月;不知不觉的一年;悄然逝去的一生。日子，似水流年。

花谢了，有再开的时候。燕子飞走了，有再来的时候。时间流逝了，却永远不能挽回。“莫等闲，白了少年头，空悲切。”

时间在滴滴嗒嗒的流逝，日子仍然平平凡凡的过着，春去春来，花落花开，时间是永远不会等待我们的，何不让我们去等待时间呢?

人的一生中，或许有许许多多的一秒、一分、一时、一日。但这些毕竟是有限的，您可以“逍遥今日，且待明日”“明日复明日，明日何其多?”但是，请莫忘记，天运无限人寿有限“百年明日能有几何?”时间就像一片诚实的土地，当即将归逝之时，望望身后，留下的是郁郁苍苍的树林，色彩斑斓的华锦，还是荒芜不毛的旷旷野、荆棘丛生的废墟?

时间亦时日子，日子亦是时间。日子、时间亦是组成生命的材料，您若是想珍惜生命，那便请珍惜时间吧!

时间有时也锐利的像一把刀子。一寸光阴一寸金，寸金难买寸光阴。朋友，抓住今天，你才无愧于昨天，才会自信的面对明天!千万不要把一些时间浪费在爱情，世界上没有真正的爱情，不要认为爱情的力量是伟大，这是一种错误的说法。对于学生来说，我们只有学习好，什么都不要管，把心用在学习上，如果现在不好好学，会后悔的。

现在生活中，有的人沉浸在回忆中，他们依赖昨天;有的人沉迷于梦想中，他们企盼明天。勤奋有志的人，他们深深的懂得时间就是生命，从不把今天宝贵的时间白白浪费!把时间都用在学业上，对于他们来说这才是过的幸福的日子，最开心的日子。然而对于那些不爱惜时间的人，到了满头银丝之时，掀起尘封的日历，回味已逝去的岁月，生命在深沉地向你倾诉：给自己的人生划上无悔的句号……

[以元宵节为话题英语作文

我国有许多传统节日，比如元宵节，重阳节，端午节。但最盛大隆重的节日莫过于春节了。

There are many traditional festivals in our country, such as the Lantern Festival, the heavy Sun Festival and the Dragon Boat Festival. But the most grand festival is the Spring Festival.

中国的春节，已经有四千多年的历史了，起初不叫春节，到了公元前两千一百多年，当时，人们以木星运动一周的时间为一岁，就把春节叫“岁”。公元前一千年，人们以年来表示。

China Spring Festival, has a history of over four thousand years, initially not called the Spring Festival, in more than 2100 BC, at that time, people with Jupiter movement a week for a year, the Spring Festival is called "old". In one thousand B.C., people were expressed in years.

北方人过春节和南方有很大的不同，北方晚上要包饺子，吃饺子，在百十个饺子里，有一个饺子放有硬币，吃到它的人，一年诸事顺利。南方除了要贴春联外，还要在门外搁两圈贴红纸的甘蔗，寓意进入佳境。

People in the north and south of the Spring Festival is very different to the dumplings, eating dumplings dumplings in North night, 100, there is a dumpling with the coin, the person who eats it, a well. In addition to the southern spring festival couplets, but also put two ring paste red paper cane in the door, meaning into something.

我最喜欢过春节了，一到春节，就能穿上新衣服，拿红包。除夕早上，我和爸爸一起贴春联，贴完后，又开始贴“福”字，只见爸爸把“福”倒着贴在了墙上，我问：“爸爸，为什么“福”要倒着贴呢？爸爸笑着回答：“这意思就表示福倒（到）。”我又拿了一张“财”字，正要倒着贴，爸爸说：“财到不就财倒了吗？所以要横着贴，意思就是发横财。”我若有所思地点点头。

I like the Spring Festival the most. In the Spring Festival, I can put on new clothes and take the red bag. On the eve of new years Eve, I put up a spring festival couplet with my dad. After finishing it, I began to paste the word "Fu". I saw my father sticking Fu on the wall. I asked, "Daddy, why is" Fu "stuck instead? Dad smiled and replied, "this means blessing." I also took a "money" word, just to fall on, dad said: "is not money to the money? So was posted, meaning that windfall." I thought and nodded.

晚上，我和爸爸妈妈一边吃着香喷喷的火锅，一边看着春晚，真是一件大好事啊！到了深夜十二点，四周围仿佛炸开了锅，烟花有的像一颗“炮弹”，突然，分解成无数的小“炮弹”，紧接着，小“炮弹”又绽开了“花儿”。还有的烟花像流星一样划过天空，又变成了一个个小小点分散了，消失了。热闹的声音传遍了整个同安……

In the evening, my father and mother and I eat a fragrant hot pot while watching the Spring Festival Gala. It is really a great thing. At twelve oclock at night, it seemed as if the surrounding area had exploded. Some fireworks were like a "shell". Suddenly, they broke into numerous small shells. Then, the small shells exploded again. The fireworks, like meteors, crossed the sky, and they became small and scattered, and disappeared. The noisy sound spread all over the same peace...

我喜欢过春节！

I like the Spring Festival!

导语：吃水不忘挖井人,前人栽树后人乘凉。 知恩图报,善莫大焉。我们要感谢那些帮过我们的人，下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的相关优秀英语作文，欢迎阅读与借鉴，谢谢!

Last week I saw a young man giving up his seat to a woman with a baby in her arms on a bus. To my great surprise, the woman did not thank the young man; on the contrary, she glared at him coldly, which made him embarrassed.

This incident set me thinking. If everyone acted like that woman, who would like to help others? And what would our society be like?

If anyone gives you a hand, you should express your sincere gratitude to him or her. Only in this way will everyone be ready to help others and feel satisfied with it.

【参考译文】

上周，我在公共汽车上看到一个年轻人给一个怀抱婴儿的妇女让座。让我感到奇怪的是，这位妇女没有感谢这位年轻人，反而用冷淡的目光盯着他，使他感到困窘。

这事令我深思。如果每个人都像那个妇女那样，谁还愿意帮助别人?我们这个社会将会变成什么样子?

如果有人帮了你，你应表示衷心感谢。只有这样，大家才会愿意帮助别人，并从中得到满足。

my mother is a woman of the old school。 she is too conservative to keep up with the times。 however， she is good-natured and treats others incerely。 for this reason， all her neighbors are only too glad (pleased) to make friends with her。 they consider her a model woman。

she is a typical housewife。 she keeps the (her) house neat and clean and looks after us with extreme care 。 she often says to us， “you cannot study too ard。”

"我母亲"英语作文译文:

我母亲是中国老式女子。她太保守无法跟上时代。然而，她性情善良，待人诚恳。基于此种理由，所有她的邻居都十分高兴和她结交朋友。他们认为她是模范女子。

她是一位标准的家庭主妇。她把家保持整洁。她小心翼翼地照顾我们。她时常对我们说：“你们越用功越好”。

Tree and Ax

Ilike to tell you a story today ,it is Tree and Ax:A woodman came into a

forest to ask the trees to give him a handle for Ax.It seemed so modest a

request that the principal tree at once agreed to it,and it was settled among

them that the plain,homely Ash should finish what was wanted.No sooner had the

woodman fitted the staff to his purpose,than he began laying about him on all

side.Felling the whole matter too late,whishpered to the Cedar:“the fist

concession has lost all;if we has not a sacrificed our humble neighbor,we might

have yet stood for ages ourselves”The story was a satire on ungrateful

people,and it also shows us that giving alms to the enemy is cruelty to

yourself

参考翻译

树和斧子

今天我要给你讲个故事，就是“树和斧子”：有一个樵夫到森林里，要求树给他一把斧柄，看来他的请求非常谦虚，立刻得到了树的首领的同意。他们决定由平凡而朴素的白杨树来提供所需要的东西。樵夫刚按好斧柄，就开始到处乱砍，森林里最高的树都被砍到了，森林现在察觉大势已去，就小声对杉树说：“第一次的让步已经失去了一切。如果我们不牺牲我们的小小邻居，我们还可以活无数年呢。”这故事讽刺了忘恩负义的人，也告诉我们对敌人的施舍就是对自己的残忍。
