篇4:关于成功的因素的英语
全文共 2036 字
+ 加入清单When doing the same thing, some people success but some fail. There must be
many factors leading that result. In my view, the most important factor is the
difference of confidence, determination and sociability are the foundation and
condition of success.
First of all, no matter who want to success, they must have confidence, as
confidence is the basic need for success. If someone always thinks he can’t do
this or that well, then he can’t finish it well. For example, when a person is
being interviewed, if he doesn’t believe he can do that job well, how can he act
believable, so how can the interviewers trust his ability? Therefore, the
interview is obviously a failure. However, if a person is confident, he can
receive the opportunity to prepare for every challenge easily, which makes
success become closer.
In addition, confidence just the door for success, if someone wants to get
into the house of success, determination is necessary. The determined meet
difficulties always overcome it and insist to the end. On the other hand, if
someone is not determined, he would give up when facing difficulty. For
instance, when doing homework, the person who is not determined always can’t
finish perfectly and even copy from others when he thinks that homework is hard
to finish. However, the person who is determined always can finish it well,
because he know what he really wants and he is able to carry on.
The last but not least is that no one can do anything well by themselves,
so they need help. At that time, sociable is helpful. It is well-known that
success is hard to reach. Therefore, people need others to help them. A sociable
person can get help easily, as he has so many friends. On the other side, a
person is not good at communication, when he gets in trouble, maybe no one helps
him. So we can see the importance of sociability to success.
In a word, there maybe not only confidence, determination, and sociability
are essential to success, but I think they are the most important ones, for they
are the foundation and condition of success.

+ 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。

篇10: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.

However, even the small paradise can’t avoid being polluted seriously. The

+ 加入清单2020年的春节,在所有中国人的心里,注定是一个永生难忘的记忆。新型冠状病毒的肆虐,让辞旧迎新的钟声更加沉重,人们脸上的那一个个口罩,让这个春节倍感冷清。
The Spring Festival in 2020, in the hearts of all Chinese people, is
destined to be a memorable memory forever. The novel coronaviruss raging force
makes the bell ring for the old and new year more heavy, and the mask on
peoples faces makes the Spring Festival feel cold.
这个冬天,梅花依然宁静地开放;这个冬天,蓝天依旧明净如洗;这个冬天的武汉却非常艰难,全国人民却非常艰难。在这特殊的日子里,我们谨遵医嘱,静静地待在家中。我们为武汉忧心忡忡,我们为治愈病例的增多而感到高兴,为武汉的人们牵肠挂肚。
This winter, the plum blossom is still quietly open; this winter, the blue
sky is still bright and clean; this winter, Wuhan is very difficult, but the
people of the whole country are very difficult. On this special day, we would
like to follow the doctor s advice and stay at home quietly. We are worried
about Wuhan, we are happy with the increase of cured cases, and we are worried
about people in Wuhan.
与此同时,有一群人,他们正冲在前方,用自己的平凡之躯为身后的亿万中国人筑起防护的堡垒,他们舍小家为大家,不眠不休,战斗在这场没有硝烟的战场上的最前沿。他们是来自全国各地的最美逆行者,他们是新时代的最美先锋人物,他们是可亲可敬的白衣天使。
At the same time, there are a group of people, they are rushing forward,
using their ordinary bodies to build a fortress for the hundreds of millions of
Chinese people behind them. They leave their small homes for everyone,
sleepless, fighting in the forefront of this battlefield without smoke of
gunpowder. They are the most beautiful rebels from all over the country. They
are the most beautiful pioneers in the new era. They are amiable and respectable
angels in white.
在这群人当中,有一位84岁的老院士,叫钟南山,17年前,这位老院士奋斗在抗非的最前线上,为抗击非典立下了汗马功劳。17年后的今天他临危受命,搭上前往武汉的高铁,再次前往抗击疫情的前线;86岁的董宗祁老教授,他坐在轮椅上,一上午看了30多个病人,他说:“我这辈子,就是为了救人”;73岁的李兰娟教授,知道国家有难,她毫不犹豫前往武汉,坚定地说出她的誓言:“我打算长期待在武汉,与那边的医护人员一起奋斗!”
Among these people, there is an 84 year old academician named Zhong
Nanshan. 17 years ago, the old academician fought in the forefront of anti
Africa and made great contributions to the fight against SARS. 17 years later,
he was ordered to take the high-speed railway to Wuhan and go to the front line
of fighting the epidemic again. Professor Dong zongqi, 86, sat in a wheelchair
and saw more than 30 patients in the morning. He said, "my life is to save
people"; Professor Li Lanjuan, 73, knew that the country was in trouble. She did
not hesitate to go to Wuhan and firmly said her oath: "I intend to stay in Wuhan
for a long time and fight with the medical staff there!"
这世上哪有什么岁月静好,只是因为有人在替我们负重前行罢了,这世上哪有什么天生的英雄,只有因为人们需要,才有人愿意牺牲自己成为英雄。
There is no time in this world that is quiet, just because someone is
carrying the weight for us. There is no natural hero in this world. Only because
people need, can someone be willing to sacrifice themselves to become a
hero.
虽然我不知道他们是谁,但我明白他们是为了谁。他们也许并不富裕,甚至有些贫穷;他们也许并不高大,甚至有些瘦弱;他们也许并不光鲜,甚至有点卑微,他们的形象在我心中是那样模糊,但他们的精神在我心中却是那样鲜明;不计生死,不求回报,默默坚守的他们,守护着健康,保卫着生命。
Although I dont know who they are, I know who they are for. They may not
be rich, or even poor; they may not be tall, or even thin; they may not be
bright, or even a little humble, their image in my heart is so fuzzy, but their
spirit in my heart is so bright; regardless of life and death, do not ask for
return, they stick to silently, guard health, protect life.
普通的我们无法到达正面战场与病毒作战,我们只能做好我们的后勤工作,不出门,少出门,勤洗手,戴口罩,这是为了不给他们添麻烦,祝愿他们平安早日凯旋。
Ordinary we cant reach the front battlefield to fight against the virus.
We can only do our logistical work well, not going out, not going out, washing
hands frequently, wearing masks, so as not to give them trouble, and wish them a
safe and early victory.
彩虹为证,千古不变,我要高歌。为生命喜悦,万物都歌颂你的慈爱,大地诉说你的恩情。
Rainbow as evidence, eternal, I want to sing. For the joy of life, all
things sing of your love, and the earth speaks of your kindness.
致敬白衣天使!
Salute the angel in white!
致敬最美逆行者!
Salute the most beautiful rebel!
致敬抗击疫情的每一个人!

篇19:关于元宵节英语

+ 加入清单There are many different beliefs about the origin of the Lantern Festival.
But one thing for sure is that it had something to do with celebrating and
cultivating positive relationship between people, families, nature and the
higher beings they believed were responsible for bringing/returning the light
each year.
One legend tells us that it was a time to worship Taiyi, the God of Heaven
in ancient times. The belief was that the God of Heaven controlled the destiny
of the human world. He had sixteen dragons at his beck and call and he decided
when to inflict drought, storms, famine or pestilence upon human beings.
Beginning with Qinshihuang, the first emperor to unite the country, all the
emperors ordered splendid ceremonies each year. The emperor would ask Taiyi to
bring favorable weather and good health to him and his people. Emperor Wudi of
the Han Dynasty directed special attention to this event. In 104 BC, he
proclaimed it as one of the most important celebrations and the ceremony would
last throughout the night. They clean it all up in the morning.
Another legend associates the Lantern Festival with Taoism. Tianguan is the
Taoist god responsible for good fortune. His birthday falls on the 15th day of
the first lunar month. It is said that Tianguan likes all types of
entertainment, so followers prepare various kinds of activities during which
they pray for good fortune.
Yet another common legend dealing with the origins of the Lantern Festival
speaks of a beautiful bird that flew down to earth from heaven, which was hunted
and killed by some villagers. This angered the Jade Emperor in Heaven because
the bird was his favorite one. Therefore, he planned a storm of fire to destroy
the village on the 15th lunar day. The Jade Emperors daughter heard of this
plan, and warned the villagers of her father’s plan to destroy their village.
The village was in turmoil because nobody knew how should they escape their
imminent destruction.
However, a wise man from another village suggested that every family should
hang red lanterns around their houses, set up bonfires on the streets, and
explode firecrackers on the 14th, 15th, and 16th lunar days. This would give the
village the appearance of being on fire to the Jade Emperor. On the 15th lunar
day, troops sent down from heaven whose mission was to destroy the village saw
that the village was already ablaze, and returned to heaven to report to the
Jade Emperor. Satisfied, the Jade Emperor decided not to burn down the village.
From that day on, people celebrate the anniversary on the 15th lunar day every
year by carrying red lanterns on the streets and exploding firecrackers and
fireworks.
There are many stories on how this festival was created. One other story is
about a maid. In the Han Dynasty, Mr. Eastern was a favorite advisor of the
emperor. One winter day, he went to the garden and heard a little girl crying
and getting ready to jump into a well to commit suicide. Mr. Eastern stopped her
and asked why. She said she was a maid in the emperors palace and her name was
Yuan-Xiao.
She never had the chance to meet her family after she started worked at the
palace. She missed them so much every 12th lunar month. If she couldnt have the
chance to show her filial piety in this life, she would rather die. Mr. Eastern
promised her to find a way so she could reunion with her family. Mr. Eastern
left the palace and set up a fortune-telling stall on the street and disguised
himself as a fortuneteller. Because of his reputation, many people asked for
their fortunes.
But every one got the same prediction - a severe fire accident on the 15th
lunar day. The rumor spread quickly. Everyone was worried about the future and
asked Mr. Eastern for help. Mr. Eastern said, "On the 13th lunar day, the God of
Fire will send a fairy lady in red to burn down the city. If you see a lady in
red wearing green pants riding a black horse on that day, you should ask for her
mercy." On that day, Yuan-Xiao pretended to be the red fairy lady. When people
asked for her help, she said, "Im the messenger of the God of Fire and came to
check on the city and Im going to set up fire on 15th. This is an order from
Jade Emperor. He will watch from the heavens.
I will give you a copy of the imperial decree from the God of Fire. You
should go to ask your emperor to find a way out." After she left, people went to
the palace to show the emperor the decree which reads "The capital city is in
trouble. Fire burns on the palace, and fire from Heaven burns all night long on
the 15th." The emperor of Han Dynasty was very shocked. He called and asked Mr.
Eastern for advice. After pondering for a while, Mr. Eastern said, "I heard that
the God of Fire likes to eat Tang-Yuan (Sweet dumpling). Does Yuan-Xiao often
cook Tang-Yuan for you? On the 15th lunar day, let Yuan-Xiao make Tang-Yuan.
Your Majesty will take charge of the worshipping ceremony and you will give
an order to every house to prepare Tang-Yuan to worship the God of Fire at the
same time. Also, deliver another order to ask every house in the city to hang
red lantern and explode fire crackers. Lastly, everyone in the palace and people
outside the city should carry their lanterns on the street to watch the lantern
decoration and fireworks. If everything goes this way, the Jade Emperor would be
deceived.
Then everyone can avoid the fire accident." The emperor happily followed
the plan. Lanterns were everywhere in the capital city on the night of the 15th
lunar day. People were walking on the street. Fire crackers kept making lots of
noise. It looked like the entire city was on fire. Yuan-Xiaos parents went into
the palace to watch the lantern decorations, and Yuan-Xiao made a big lantern
and wrote her name on the lantern. They happily reunited together after her
parents called her name. Everybody was safe during the night. The emperor of Han
Dynasty had a new order that people should do the same thing every year. Since
Yuan-Xiao cooked the best Tan-Yuan, people called the day Yuan-Xiao
Festival.
Young people were chaperoned in the streets in hopes of finding love.
Matchmakers acted busily in hopes of pairing couples. The brightest lanterns
were symbolic of good luck and hope. As time has passed, the festival no longer
has such implications.
Those who do not carry lanterns often enjoy watching informal lantern
parades. In addition to eating tangyuan (simplified Chinese: 汤圆; traditional
Chinese: 湯圓; pinyin: tāngyuán), another popular activity at this festival is
guessing lantern riddles (which became part of the festival during the Tang
Dynasty), which often contain messages of good fortune, family reunion, abundant
harvest, prosperity and love.

+ 加入清单Since the first day of my winter vacation, I’ve decided to make it a
valuable and enjoyable one. I made a plan to finish my homework within the first
week, and after days of hard working, I actually got all my assignments done a
day earlier. I am pretty proud of myself for not —as usual —hang out with my
friends until the last few days of my vacation and rush through my homework.
In the rest of my winter vacation, I made up my mind to improve my reading
skills. I’ve had tons of books that I simply bought and put them on my shelf,
wishing some day they would be finished themselves. But this time, I realized I
was not trying my best last term and decided to make some change. I finished a
couple of novels and watched some classic movies, I also went to a library to
borrow some new books for next term. The more I read the more enthusiastic I
became, and now I’ve developed my reading skills a lot.
Another event in my winter vacation is that I went to hiking with my
parents. It was a warm, sunny day, which is pretty precious during winter time.
I can still remember the scene when we drove
