光阴似箭,日月如梭,转眼之间寒假来临了。刚刚从忙碌紧张的期末考走出来。迎接的是轻松自由的寒假。
虽然寒假非常的短暂,但是我们不能因为寒假的短暂而随心所欲的玩,应该劳逸结合在玩的同时不能忘记学习。
高尔基曾经说过“书籍是人类进步的阶梯”在平时因为学习的忙碌而没有多余的时间看课外书。现在寒假已经来临,我们刚好可以利用这个时间看课外书。
“书中自有黄金屋,书中自有颜如玉”所以我决定利用这个假期多看看古今中外的名着。不但如此我还要巩固这个学期的知识点,预习下个学期的知识。希望下学期百尺竿头更进一步。为下一学期的学习打下基础。
在空余的时间完成老师和家长布置的作业,多看看新闻关心关心国家大事。在春节的时间不仅要观看春节联欢晚会,还要吃年夜饭,拜访亲友。
过完春节要将自己散漫的心收一收了,要开始把自己的心放在学习上,不能继续玩了。要把老师和学校布置的作业检查检查是否已经完成了。再把下一学期学习需要的资料和练习题都要准备好。
这就是我的寒假生活,我的寒假我做主。

篇14:关于代沟英语作文高中
全文共 999 字
+ 加入清单Generation gap refers to the misunderstanding between the old and young.
The term came into fashion after the 1980s. However, in recent years, the
phenomenon is getting more and more fierce.
How does generation gap come into being? The first reason is that the two
generations have grown up in different ages, thus they have different attitudes
toward life. Secondly, due to having little in common with each other, they are
unwilling to sit down and talk face to face. Besides, as modern life is so
stressful, both of them are so busy with their study or work that they have not
enough time to exchange their ideas.
To bridge the generation gap is not easy at all, but we can do something to
shorten it. For one thing, children should respect their parents as well as
accept their good advice. For another, parents should not only show their love
and care to the kids, but also support their good life view. As long as the old
and young can understand each other, it would be more harmonious in family and
world.

+ 加入清单Hi, TigerMom ,
What puzzles you is actually a puzzle for many parents in China . My idea
is that it is quite right for you to do so .
Although high grades are an important factor in evaluating students and for
their future university admission , development in wisdom emotion ,health and
life attitude should never be ignored . There are many examples around us . Some
all—A students in school have turned out not to be as successful in society as
they were expected. The reason is often that the pressure from their parents
allows them almost no time for other activities . Furthermore , punishment is by
no means a wise choice to help them grow up mentally and physically .
So I suggest that you take your friends’ advice . More importantly, let her
live like a lovely girl ; let her have more friends and social activities ; and
let her make mistakes of her own as we teenagers often do .

+ 加入清单The Value Of Time
I always think there is not enough time. For example, I have just taken a three-day holiday. But when I look back, I just feel that it‘s only one day. There goes a proverb, “Time is money”。 Now I want to say, time is more precious than money, because when money is spent, we can earn some more again. However, when time is gone or lost, never will it return.
Time goes without being noticed. The time for our study and work is usually limited. So I think we must make full use of our time. But it‘s a pity that I am always not aware of the importance of time until it’s too late.
So I think, I should get into the good habit of saving time because wasting time is equal to wasting one‘s life. Do not put off what can be done today till tomorrow!
