篇7:食品安全英语
全文共 1111 字
+ 加入清单Over the past couple of years, several cases of the food scandal have been
disclosed on various media. The problem of food security has become a hot button
across society. The prevalence of food insecurity has greatly impacted public
health, which the government could not afford to ignore, according to the online
edition of the People Daily. ?
There are a couple of driving forces, I would argue, behind this
undesirable tide. First, in the course of the rapid economic evolution, we
ignore moral education, giving rise to the rising rate of the problem. More
importantly, the lack of adequate regulation and punishment on those illegal
producers enforces the trend. ?
As Confucius instructed, it is better late than never. Prompt and strict
measures should be taken to turn back this evil trend. The government should
launch a massive moral campaign to educate all citizens and draw up tougher laws
to crack down on those irresponsible corporations and prohibit them from
entering the food industry again. I am firmly convinced that through our
combined efforts we are bound to enjoy more risk-free foods in the days
ahead.?

Spring Festival, a day Im looking forward to for a long time, should be
full of happiness, bustle and laughter. But this years novel coronavirus is so
rampant that I can only stay at home and wear masks when I go out, and my
parents remind me to keep warm and pay attention to personal hygiene every day.
The novel coronavirus seemed to have no intention of retreat, but doctors
struggled for many days and nights. In these days, I dont know how many people
have been killed by the virus, and how many doctors are still fighting against
the virus in order to fight the epidemic.
我不禁要问:“新型冠状病毒,你为什么选择了人类?为什么选择这样的日子降临人间?为什么要来伤害人类?”
What novel coronavirus, what do you choose to do with humans? What makes
such a date come to earth? Why do we want to harm human beings?
一天晚上,新型冠状病毒大胆地出现在我面前,扬起下巴轻蔑地一笑说:“你只看结果,不看经过,你知道我是怎么来的吗?我本来生活在动物身上,可是你们这些人类杀死了它们,还把它们吃了,还有人直播吃蝙蝠的过程。所以引发疾病的不是我,而是你们人类。而且我想告诉你,在这个世界上最可怕的不是狮子、老虎,而是你们人类,你们人类的嘴是一个无底洞,是永远也填不满的,你们人类贪婪、残忍,不停地伤害动物,难道你们就不害臊吗?”说完它转过身就走。我冲着病毒叫喊:“可人类也有善良的一面,在这个世界上好人一定比坏人多。”新型冠状病毒转过身来说:“人类的残忍是不可想象的,你们已经打破了生态平衡,直到现在还有人不知悔改!”我大声喊道:“你快走吧!人类已经知道错了,如果你再不走,人类总有一天会把你消灭的。”新型冠状病毒说:“我可以走,不过,如果人类再不知悔改,我的兄弟们还会再来的。”
One night, novel coronavirus boldly appeared before me. Chin lifted up and
smiled scornfully. "You only look at the results, but do not see the passage. Do
you know how I came? I was living on animal, but you humans killed them, ate
them, and someone else was eating live bats." So its not me that causes the
disease, its you humans. And I want to tell you that the most terrible thing in
the world is not the lion or the tiger, but you human beings. Your human mouth
is a bottomless hole, which is filled with discontent forever. You human beings
are greedy, cruel, and constantly hurting animals. Arent you ashamed? "After
saying it, turn around and walk away. I shouted at the virus, "but human beings
have a good side. There must be more good people than bad people in this world."
The novel coronavirus turned around and said, "the cruelty of human beings is
unthinkable. You have broken the ecological balance. Until now, there are still
no repentance!" I shouted, "go away!" the human race has already known that it
is wrong. If you do not go again, mankind will one day destroy you. The novel
coronavirus said, "I can go, but if the human beings do not know repentance, my
brothers will come again."
突然一阵铃声传来,我醒了,可新型冠状病毒说的话却还在我耳边回荡。我希望人类可以吸取此次的教训,善待地球,拒绝吃野生动物,也希望那些染上新型冠状病毒的人们快点好起来
Suddenly, novel coronavirus came back, but I still woke up in my ear.
Animal and novel coronavirus, I hope that people can learn from this lesson,
treat the earth well, refuse to eat wild animals, and hope that those who are
infected with new coronavirus will get better soon._ueditor_page_break_tag_

篇19:关于梦想英语作文初中
全文共 1478 字
+ 加入清单People’s whole life is not too long or too short. They have experienced
many things in their life journey, such as, success, fail, happy, sad, and
excited and so on. What about dreams? Some people think that they have so many
things to deal with in the limit time. How can they spend time for dream? It is
a waste of time. However, some people regard dreams are as important as their
life. People can’t live without dream. In my opinion, I agree with the latter
idea.
First of all, dreams provide life motivation for human beings. If a person
has a dream, he will try his best to take every chance to reach it. Even though
he will meet many difficulties on the way, even has to give up, but he will
renerve in the end. It is because he has dreams, and he has the desire to see
the day his dream come true. So no matter what obstacle he meets, he has the
motivation to overcome. This is the power of dreams.
In addition, life without dreams is meaningless. We often see that when
someone talks about his dream, his face is full of smile. It is because dreams
give him hope and fun. No matter the dream is easy to make it or not, when the
people think of it, they will have the beautiful vision to fight for. But if a
person who don’t have a dream, he would not know what he should do and can do.
His life is confused and meaningless.
In a word, dreams look like the lighthouse in the ocean. It gives people
motivation and the meaning of their journey. It is so significant that everyone
needs dreams.
篇20:传统文化英语作文高4
全文共 2916 字
+ 加入清单The Culture of China is home to one of the worlds oldest and most complex
civilizations. China boasts a history rich in over 5,000 years of artistic,
philosophical, political, and scientific advancement. Though regional
differences provide a sense of diversity, commonalities in language and religion
connect a culture distinguished by such significant contributions such as
Confucianism and Taoism. Confucianism was the official philosophy throughout
most of Imperial Chinas history and strongly influenced other countries in East
Asia. Mastery of Confucian texts provided the primary criterion for entry into
the imperial bureaucracy.
With the rise of Western economic and military power beginning in the
mid-19th century, Western systems of social and political organization gained
adherents in China. Some of these would-be reformers rejected Chinas cultural
legacy, while others sought to combine the strengths of Chinese and Western
cultures.
China is a unified nation consisting of many different ethnic groups.
Fifty-six different ethnic groups make up the great Chinese national family.
Because the Han people accounts for more than ninety percent of Chinas
population, the remaining fifty-five groups are generally referred to as "ethnic
minorities." Next to the majority Han, the Mongolian, Hui, Tibetan, and Uygur
peoples comprise the largest ethnic groups. Although Chinas ethnic minorities
do not account for a large portion of the population, they are distributed over
a vast area, residing in every corner of China.
Particularly since the implementation of Chinas opening and reform policy,
the central government has increased investment in minority areas and
accelerated their opening to the outside world. This has resulted in an upsurge
of economic development in these areas. Each of Chinas ethnic minority groups
possesses a distinctive culture. The Chinese government respects minority
customs, and works to preserve, study, and collate the cultural artifacts of
Chinas ethnic minority groups. The government vigorously supports the
development of minority culture and the training of minority cultural workers,
and fosters the development of traditional minority medicine.
The relation among Chinas ethnic groups can be described as "overall
integration, local concentration, mutual interaction." Concentrations of ethnic
minorities reside within predominantly Han areas, and the Han people also reside
in minority areas, indicating that there has been extensive exchanges among
Chinas ethnic groups since ancient times. With the development of the market
economy, interaction among ethnic groups has become even more active in the
areas of government, economics, culture, daily life, and marriage. Linked by
interdependence, mutual assistance, and joint development, their common goals
and interests creating a deep sense of solidarity, Chinas ethnic groups
resemble a great national family, together building Chinese civilization.
