+ 加入清单高一英语作文:The Double Ninth Festival
The ninth day of the ninth lunar month is the Chong Yang Festival, a traditional festival in China. The celebrating activities are various and romantic ,including climbing mountains , appreciating chrysanthemums , wearing dogwoods , eating the Chong Yang cake and so on . “Nine” has the same pronunciation as the Chinese character “jiu” which stands for ”a long time” , and is the biggest single figure . Therefore it indicts longevity. There have been a lot of poems and works celebrating Chong Yang Festival and praising chrysanthemums since ancient times. People also believe that climbing mountains can expel bad luck, and indicates “climbing to a higher position” and “longevity”. China designates the ninth day of the ninth month as Senior ‘s Day , which combine tradition with modern times subtly to turn it into a festival for respecting , caring about , loving , and helping the elderly people .
农历九月初九为中国传统的节日—重阳节。庆祝重阳节的活动多彩而浪漫,包括登高远眺、观赏菊花、遍插茱萸、吃重阳糕等。“九”与汉字“久”同音,又是个位数字之最,因此寓意长寿长久。自古以来,有不少贺重阳用菊花的诗词佳作。人们还以为,登高可以驱除霉运,意指“晋升高位”和“长寿”。中国把九月九日定为老人节,传统与现代巧妙地结合,使之成为一个尊老、敬老、助老的节日。
高一英语作文:我对考试作弊的看法
My Opinion on Cheating in Examinations 我对考试作弊的看法
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.
高一英语作文:读书的好处的英语作文
When Im free or in trouble, I always take out a book and read quietly. In no time, Ive put my heart into it so that Ill forget all the troubles. Its in this way that Ive formed the habit of reading in any time.
Little boys as I was, I was interest in picture books and storybooks. I was struck by them. No sooner had I entered the middle school than I began to read novel, plays, and essays and so on. I found I could get much from them. Little by little I took great interest in literature and last term I won the first prize in the composition contest among middle-school students in Zhe Jiang.
Reading “The Emperors New Clothes”, I had to let out a burst of laughter over his fool. “The Little Match Girl” couldnt keep me from crying for her misery. “Robinson Crusoe” took me into a strange world full of danger. And I was also deeply impressed by Helen Kellers patience and perseverance… Besides these, books also tell me other thing -how to be a man and how to tell the difference between right and wrong. In a word, good books can make me know what I didnt before. So I think of a good book as my best friend.
Ill never forget this famous saying,“Good books are best friends who never turn their backs upon us.”

Why this? Because, firstly, some factories are pouring wastes into rivers, lakes, seas and so forth; secondly, because of human activities, agreat number of plants and animals are losing their lives; thirdly, using modern machines and chemicals is bad for the environment. Besides these, there are a lot of human activities which have done or are doing harm to our surroundings.

+ 加入清单Speaking of patriotism, we can think of many patriotic heroes at once. Qu Yuan embraced a patriotic passion to vote in the MI Luo river, which became a thousand ancient songs; Yue Fei backed the thorns of "faithful to the country", and let the world praise them; Wen Tianxiang "lament the lonely ocean in the lonely ocean" and "leave the heart to take the heart of the Qing Dynasty"; Liu Hulans knife before the knife is not low, and Huangs eye is not afraid in front of the eye of the gun. They stand up in front of the achievements, major issues issues of right and wrong, shaking heaven and Earth Spirit of patriotism. Read their stories, often let us respect, admiration and reverence arise spontaneously.
Today, I read the "the most tender, the most pure patriotic heart" in "the Beidou star of the change of life", I deeply feel that the original spirit of patriotism can also be interpreted so. Yes, the 8 year old Xin Yues greatest wish before leaving the world was to stand in front of the Tiananmen to see the flag raising ceremony and listen to the national anthem. Who can say that this is not the most sacred love of patriotism? Are those 119 volunteers just willing to fulfill Xiao Xins wish? Is this not the most real expression of their patriotic feelings?
Patriotism is not necessarily vigorous. In fact, it is not far away. It is around us. Every time the flag raising ceremony, we stand upright and respectfully salute, this is patriotism; the teacher is a hard gardener, we respect the teacher, listen to their teaching, and let oneself become a useful talent for the future construction of the motherland, this is patriotism. We respect our elders and care for them. This is patriotism. Perhaps someone will be surprised: "are these simple behaviors patriotic?" Yes! From the start, the simple side of things, we can be in front of major issues issues of right and wrong.
Students, let us down from the trivial little things, for the love of the motherland and contribute our utter innocence! Let the Beidou star guide us and illuminate our direction.

+ 加入清单Almost everyone knows that water covers three-fourths of the earths
surface. Most of it, however, is in the oceans and is too salty to drink. Also,
some of it is frozen and cannot be used. In fact, less than one percent is left
for the use of people, animals and plant life. All through history men have
tried to build their homes near the sources of fresh water. Now fresh water is
becoming scarce, but more and more is needed because of the increasing number of
people in the world. Some industries also use large amounts of fresh water in
the production of things such as steel, petroleum, paper and rubber and so on.
Scientists estimate that the need for fresh water will have doubled by the year
2003. If they are correct, we must find new ways of saving it or producing it.
Some nations have worked on the problem and are already sharing their
information with others. They are trying to keep their rivers from becoming
polluted. Deep wells are also being dug, and rain water is being collected in
huge artificial lakes. In one way or another, they hope to provide enough water
to satisfy the needs of their people.

+ 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20:英语高一优秀作文100字
全文共 1662 字
+ 加入清单The way people hold the belief that a fun-filled, pain-free lifestyle
equals happiness actually reduces their chances of ever obtaining real
happiness. If fun and pleasure are equal to happiness,then pain must be equal to
unhappiness. But in fact,the opposite is true: more often than not things that
lead to happiness contain some pain.
As a result,many people avoid the very attempts that are the source of true
happiness.They fear the pain inevitably (不可避免地) brought by such things as
marriage,raising children,professional achievement, religious commitment,
self-improvement.
Ask a bachelor why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be
less and less satisfying. If he is honest,he will tell you that he is afraid of
making a commitment,for commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is
filled with fun, adventure and excitement.Marriage has such moments,but they are
not its most distinguishing features.
Couples,with infant children, are lucky to get a whole nights sleep of a
three-day vacation. We dont know any parent who would choose the word fun to
describe raising children. But couples that decide not to have children ever
know the joys of watching a child grow up or playing with a grandchild.
Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun
is one of the most liberating realizations. It liberates time: now we can devote
more hours to activities that can really increase our happiness. It liberates
money:buying that new car or those fancy clothes to increase our happiness now
seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy:we now understand that all those
who always have so much fun actually may not be happy at all.
