高二下学期期末考英语作文(实用20篇)

文化是一个民族的灵魂，是一个民族顽强拼搏的不竭动力，是一个国家在世界立足之根本。然而，在东莞，我们的传统文化却已渐渐逝去......

我是一个土生土长的东莞人，因此，我深切地感受到改革开放以来，东莞的经济正持续发展，人们的生活水平也不断提高。但是，此时的我却渐渐认识到东莞文化正不断逝去。

经济的不断发展，东莞的污染也不断加重。河里的水也越来越黑。如今每到端午节，又有多少人愿意到船中一展身手呢?如今东莞的水体污染越来越严重，使身处东江的人们不会划龙舟，也不愿意划龙舟，这是多么的讽刺。东莞文化的传承正面临着巨大的困难。

随着农村的经济也发展起来了，油泊路，大桥等也纷纷建起来了。然而身为90后的我们是否还会记得有一座叫“北帝庙”的东西呢?有点熟悉吧，拿出手指算一下有多少年没去拜会“它”呢?可能有人认为这是封建迷信，但我却觉得这是我们的传统文化，记得小时候，逢年过节，总有很多人到那里拜神、祈求。还有“龙母诞”、“大圣诞”等，如今，除了几个老者之外，又有多少人会惦记这东西呢?这些传统，都面临着绝迹的危险。

算起来，我们都快成年，但在我们这些人当中，有多少人能自己会做一个油角，一个糖环。作为东莞的特色小吃，身为东莞人却不会做，这是感到羞愧的。有人会说，现在在路边都有得买了，还用费那个劲自己做吗?说得也对，但仔细想一想，如果这门传统手艺到了我们这一代人身上，那又怎样呢?

东莞的传统文化已经面临着“绝后”的危险，因此，我们的这一代人一定要好好继承，不能让我们东莞的文化在我们这一代上脱节。

它辗转在生命的长河里，我不停地探索和追寻，为的就是欣赏这世间富有生命的、独特的东西。

我曾经与李白划舟共济，共赏巍峨的峻山与碧绿一片的森林，因为我阅读过他的诗;我曾经与司马迁谈论政治事，共饮女儿红，高歌一曲，因为我阅读过他的代表作《史记》;我也曾经与李清照共享相思之苦，共度寂寞空虚，因为我阅读过她的词;我也曾经与苏轼游于赤壁，共赏自然的绮丽风景，因为我阅读过他的代表作《赤壁赋》。虽然我与他们不共存在同一个时代，但也可被拉扯在同一时代，为什么呢因为它，遗留下来的文字记载以及文物。

随着科技的进步，人类的审美观不断地|“提高”，就连传统的东西也忘得一干二净。例如，近来网络出现了一系列的冬装，女生们就疯狂了，不管三七二十一，网购了极多。但却从来没有人会注重旁边的传统旗服。其实，现在的很多东西也未必比以前的好、丰富或者精神，只不过形成了一股潮流罢了。所以，请不要抛弃富有意念的精彩的好的传统物质财富。

随着科技的发达，人类的认识意识野不断地“提高”，就连一些有韵味的东西也臵之不理。近来歌曲不断创新，不断发展，这确实是一件非常好的事件。但又存在着另一弊端，有些歌手或者创作者夸大创作，改变了歌曲的意念以及韵味，极大地引误群众。其实，创作歌曲要打动人心，可以使歌曲加入传统的遗留下来的音乐元素加以修饰一样可以大销售。所以，请不要使事物失去原有的优秀的元素或特征。

而我们今天的则是需要一些流传下来的文字记载，因为有它，我们才可以领略到世界古今往来的事物;因为有它，我们才可以使现存事物更富有生命力，富有韵味。所以，请不要抛弃它，它很重要。

让我们记载吧，让后代人品尝从未品尝过的香醇。

“岁月如同大朵的浮云，从我的无知岁月里悠悠而过，匆忙地替我打理好行装，我走进了青春驿站。一路上，我与悲伤擦肩而过，与快乐共同高歌，与幸福牵手临风微笑……”

一路走过，一路高歌。青春的雨点捶打着我的心田，作为初中生的我时常都在思考着自己的人生，也向往着自己能像古人一样成就一番大业。在浩瀚的历史长河中，有无数名垂史册的英雄豪杰，他们如同天上的繁星，时刻以他们的光芒照耀着我们的前程。

成就大业者大多数都是男性人物，历史上能名垂史册的女性英雄可谓少之又少，能成为皇帝的女性那也是屈指可数的。我最喜欢的历史人物就是武则天——中国历史上唯一一个正统的女皇帝。

武则天自幼聪慧敏俐，极善表达，胆识超人。父亲深感她是可造人才，遂教她读书识字，使她通晓世理。史载，则天十三、四岁时，已是博览群书，博闻强记，诗词歌赋也都奠定了一定基础，而且长于书法，字态卓荦不群。出生在唐初新贵显宦之家，显赫的权势，豪奢的生活，滋养了她无限量的权力欲。

然而，初唐极重士族的门阀之风盛行，而武氏庶族的门第，低微的出身，又使她饱受流俗的轻视，而不甘埋没。这一特殊的境遇与遭际，强烈地刺激着青年时代的武则天，陶冶了她狂妄地去追逐和攫取最高权力，以达唯我是从的欲望，和以冷酷而不择手段地去报复一切的心理。

对于武则天的评价，时至今日，仍然众说纷纭，不仅无法对于她有一个总体评价，即使在某一方面也没有定论，比如说用人方面，有人说她不拘一格降人才，也有人说当时政风败坏。

而在我看来武则天的自我观念、自信心、占有欲极强，有强烈的反社会，反传统心理。这对我们中学生是有激励和促进作用的，作为一名初中生，必须树立远大的目标，并为之努力奋斗，不达目的决不罢休。只要有了这种执着的精神，任何困难都难不倒我们的。在平时的学习中我们要咬定青山不放松，要有勇气面对艰难和困苦。

现今中国的社会大环境越来越宽松，女性渐渐从旧社会的阴影中走出来，无论从家庭还是到社会，更无论从国内还是到国外，女性扮演的角色越来越重要，为国争光更是屡见奇功，那伟大的功绩不能泯灭，本来女性就最应该冠以“伟大”二字，

那种与生俱来的辛苦与磨难，在生理与心理上是世界上生灵的源泉，作为一位名垂青史的皇帝，我为武则天欢呼，作为一位女皇帝我更要为武则天喝彩。

“俱往矣，数风流人物还看今朝”，历史人物已经成为过去，但他们的精神不会随着时间的流逝而磨灭。我想我会汲取前人的精华，在以后的学习中不断的提升自己，像唐朝女皇武则天一样，做一位巾帼英雄。

日前，搭载“阿尔法巴智能驾驶公交系统”的深圳巴士集团公交车在深圳福田保税区开出，这是全球首次在开放道路上进行无人驾驶智能公交试运行。4辆全电动公交车在全程1.2公里的线路运行，车速10-30公里/小时，途中设3个停靠站。一些媒体直接用了“无人驾驶时代临近”这样的标题，让人不禁畅想一个更加智能化的生活已经触手可及。

当无人驾驶汽车还只存在于科幻电影中的时候，人类就幻想过拥有它的快感。比如不会开车或害怕自行驾驶上路的人，大概就希望拥有这样一辆智能汽车;又比如在驾驶过程中遇到突发情况(驾驶疲劳、重要电话、迫不及待想看一部电影等等)，便可以召唤车内的智能系统自动驾驶，想想也是很酷的事情。

但就目前城市的路况来看，实现完全的无人驾驶还要假以时日。首先是道路太复杂。所以目前的这套试运行的智能系统采用的是有条件的自动驾驶模式(即司机需要坐在驾驶位上，在紧急情况发生时，司机踩下刹车就可以从自动驾驶模式转换为人工驾驶模式)，

尽管它已经初步实现自动驾驶下的行人车辆检测、减速避让、紧急停车、障碍物绕行变道、自动按站停靠等功能，但要完全准确无误地对其他道路使用者和突发状况做出反应，目前的智能系统或许仍然需要不断完善。

其次是道路的拥堵情况。早晚高峰时段和节假日的时候，繁忙的道路是一条又一条，智能系统该如何应对?若无人驾驶汽车遇到走走停停需要跟车的情况，它是否会显现出高智能化，不断分析出更加有效的行车路线?若在拥堵路段又遇到其它车辆的强行变道穿插，它又会不会能表现出自己的“理智”来?

除此之外，快递、外卖和私载客人的电动车也是造成道路混乱的因素之一，有不少路段的电动自行车不仅抢占机动车道，还在马路中央行驶，甚至毫无拘束地变道，给机动车辆行驶造成极大困扰。想像一下，若是无人驾驶汽车遇到这样的情况，是不是得不间断地减速避让，直到系统完全崩溃为止?

目前还可以有位司机坐镇视道路情况来转换驾驶模式，可当无人驾驶真正进入无人化的时候，这样的路况需要的不仅仅是模式化的智能，还需要更多的应变机智。

科技的发展与进步，让人看见未来，让人向往与畅想。可智能化也同样让人感到忧虑，比如说到AlphaGo，它能把围棋高手逼哭;比如会写稿的机器人，让不少新闻从业者提前看到了退休的光景……甚至还有人预言人工智能将彻底代替人类，它们将逐渐学会人性伦理，并更加高于人类的道德，从而统治人类。这些都是幻想，但幻想没准就会成真。

智能化的社会依然会不断前行，尽管我觉得无人驾驶汽车对于个人没有太大需求，一是不信任它的安全性，二是失去了驾驶本身的乐趣，但站在科技进步的角度，它的每一个进步都值得期待。只是它要真正投入到人们的日常生活中，

就得先解决适应它生存的环境问题。汽车是智能的，可道路却是低能的，那便是可笑的。只有一条整洁畅通、行驶有序、运能高效又可以智能化监察路况的公路，才能让智能汽车真正实现无人驾驶。

The air we breathe is so freely available that we take it for granted. Yet without it we could not survive more than a few minutes. For the most part, the same air is available to everyone, and everyone needs it. Some people use the air to sustain them while they sit around and feel sorry for themselves. Others breathe in the air and use the energy it provides to make a magnificent life for themselves.

Opportunity is the same way. It is everywhere. Opportunity is so freely available that we take it for granted. Yet opportunity alone is not enough to create success. Opportunity must be seized and acted upon in order to have value. So many people are so anxious to "get in" on a "ground floor opportunity", as if the opportunity will do all the work. Thats impossible.

Just as you need air to breathe, you need opportunity to succeed. It takes more than just breathing in the fresh air of opportunity, however. You must make use of that opportunity. Thats not up to the opportunity. Thats up to you. It doesnt matter what "floor" the opportunity is on. What matters is what you do with it.

Chinese nickname "week". Tang dynasty, the Chinese fu "in the spirit in the week, god pose as soon as possible to the moon and the" the week with the moon and the par, highlighted in the associated with affection, and love the most beautiful, is also the most sadness moving two nights. About is for this reason, people call the men and women married auspicious day "week".

On a clear summer night, shining stars in the sky, a white Milky Way like a bridge across the north and south, in the river on both sides, each with a shining star, river, distant relative, that is Altair and vega.

Seventh eve sit watch petunia vega, is a folk custom, according to legend, on this night of the year is heaven vega and the cowherd meet on the magpie bridge. Vega is a beautiful fairy bright, ingenuity, earth women in this evening to her beg for wisdom and artful art, little also not to grant her a happy marriage, so the seventh day is also called the needlework.

Legend in the Tanabata night, looked up and can see the gigolo knit meet the Milky Way, or in the melon and fruit under the frame can be overheard two people meet in the sky when talking about.

The past marriage for women is decided to a lifetime of happiness for life, so, there is countless beings men and women will in this night, the night static people deep time, to the sky pray yourself being extremely.

七夕别称“星期”。王勃的《七夕赋》“伫灵匹于星期，眷神姿于月夕”把星期与月夕相提并论，点出了一年四季中与亲情、与爱情相关的最美好、也最凄楚动人的两个夜晚。大约正因如此吧，后人便把男女成婚的吉日良辰叫作“星期”。

在晴朗的夏秋之夜，天上繁星闪耀，一道白茫茫的银河象一座天桥横贯南北，在河的东西两岸，各有一颗闪亮的星星，隔河相望，遥遥相对，那就是牵牛星和织女星。

七夕坐看牵牛织女星，是民间的习俗，相传，在每年的这个夜晚，是天上织女与牛郎在鹊桥相会之时。织女是一个美丽聪明、心灵手巧的仙女，凡间的妇女便在这一天晚上向她乞求智慧和巧艺，也少不了向她求赐美满姻缘，所以七月初七也被称为乞巧节。

人们传说在七夕的夜晚，抬头可以看到牛郎织女的银河相会，或在瓜果架下可偷听到两人在天上相会时的脉脉情话。

女孩们在这个充满浪漫气息的晚上，对着天空的朗朗明月，摆上时令瓜果，朝天祭拜，乞求天上的仙女能赋予她们聪慧的心灵和灵巧的双手，让自己的针织女红技法娴熟，更乞求爱情婚姻的姻缘巧配。过去婚姻对于女性来说是决定一生幸福与否的终身大事，所以，世间无数的有情男女都会在这个晚上，夜静人深时刻，对着星空祈祷自己的姻缘美满。

The new semester again, I graduated from is a step closer examination. Admitted to good schools, I developed a new semester program.

一、海淀初三(上)期末优秀作文：幸福与集体相伴而行

夕阳映着我们曾挥洒汗水的竞技场，秋日的晚风拂面而过，却吹不散，带不走，我笑容中满满的幸福。

回忆着清晨的时刻，我站在看台上，与丹一起沐着清风。在这最后的一次运动会上，丹代表了我们班级参加四成一百米接力赛。在一阵阵吞没了我的声音，高昂的呐喊声中，她接下了最后一棒，奋力奔跑!她的镜框在疾风中飘摇不定，击打着她的鼻梁，仿佛将在下一瞬滑落，而她毫不理睬，一心向前驰去。那眼镜若使滑落，她也不会反顾吧!我坚信，因为我看到了，她接受委任时的笑容，里面承载了幸福，有机会为集体最后奋战的幸福，或许还有一丝不安，一丝感伤。

她抵达了终点，结果不甚完美。并没有耀眼的成绩，夺目的名次。她带着平日的那份朴实，回到了看台上。我递过一瓶水，还未说出安慰的话语，她垂下的头颅昂了起来。我见到了一个微笑，满足而幸福。我也恍悟，我体会到了那种幸福。同这个集体一起，为这个集体而奋斗。幸福便在全力以赴之后翩然而至。幸福与集体，相伴而行。

为了那份幸福，我在正午的太阳下，开始八百米的征程。看台上的集体，好似漫不经心的四处张望，或沉浸于个人的世界里。那份幸福似是远离，我看不真切。那么为了丹，为了奋斗过的人们，前行吧!时间宛如拖得绵长的线，不肯流逝一分。我怀着一点期待，在最后冲刺之前，看向我们的集体，那个“幸福”停驻的地方。一幅迎风飘展的海报，那些涌动的人潮，不绝的呐喊，挥舞的手臂……幸福如涌潮般向我袭来。他们不会停止呐喊，直至声音嘶哑;他们不会停止挥舞双臂，直至精疲力竭，他们与我在一起，共同奋斗着，为了这个集体的荣誉!我仿佛在隐约中望见了幸福，它藏于每个人心中，它与集体相伴而行。

此刻我的心情，定与丹一样吧。成败算什么呢?莫大的幸福已据满了我的心。

我也成为了场下奋斗的一员，在午后的林影间穿梭忙碌着。又是一场比赛将至，身旁的她却心急如焚。别号牌的别针告急。我笑着安慰她，取下团徽为她别在胸前，它带着属于集体的气息，在这曾属于我的幸福，传递给了她，也溶漾成一个微笑，现于她的面颊。那慢慢承载的幸福，仿佛要溢出一般完满。即使终要离别，曾经相伴，共同欢笑，共同奋斗的幸福，也将铭刻于心，伴我们走过一生。夕阳下，我独自漫步，伸手触向脸颊，感受着嘴角弯曲的弧度。

二、丰台初三语文(上)期末优秀作文：“我发现 蒲公英很美”

蒲公英，虽然在百花中不能称前，却真的很美。可谁又知道，它美，却是因为自己的那种与众不同的气质。

春日，早晨的阳光撒播在自己的书桌前，柔爽的春风扑在我的脸上，充满着春的气息为了在大赛的竞争中去得胜利，我不得不又执笔，书写篇章。

时钟过了一圈又一圈，我发现一个不经意的消化点落在我种植着玫瑰的土壤上，小而洁白，洋溢着青春的色彩，粉白的她在花盆里左边三圈，右三圈地转，终于在顷刻间停了下来，在花盆中小睡一阵。哼~玫瑰是我最喜欢的花，为了使它茁壮成长，我从不允许任何东西来侵扰伤害它的美丽，可此时毕竟是春天，是万物生机勃勃之时。嗯~那就让那株会长成杂草的东西多过些光阴吧，放眼望去，它却仍在那休息、小睡。

又过了一些时日，当我拿着精心过滤的水，朝着我心爱的玫瑰播种时，却不曾看到旁边的东西竟成了嫩芽，可虽它长得如此地碧绿，最终的样子却是一株不起眼的植物等代地只有被我连根拔起，扔到垃圾堆。可我不忍心在这完美的春天内做出如此残忍的事，看着自己的手还有几分湿润，便用力一挥。把早已不清澈的水洒在他的身旁，可它像是几天滴水未进，水立刻潜入土壤，被它吸收。

几个月后的早晨，我一如既往地端着水盆到窗台来播洒，可我窗前的她，早已被更换到了另一个地方，当它盛开的那一刻，我才知道它是一株蒲公英，在几个月前神秘地来到我的窗台，经历磨难，终于得以盛开。当又过了些时日，当它在播洒自己的种子的时，身旁的玫瑰，却早已凋谢，我才知道，蒲公英—美，美在它的坚强，它的与众不同。

The language develops as the media become various, many years ago, people used the language that was very formal, because most oral language was always the same as the paper language. But as the time by, people started to use computer, they shared the information, at the same time, many new language was created. The Internet language is in favor by people, they like to use it, because it is fashionable and very appropriate to express what they mean. I like to use the Internet language, it is so new and fun, what’s more, it is convenient, like I can use the shorten words instead of the long words. The problem of the Internet language is that it is very informal, it can’t be written in the paper, it will changes as the time goes by. In my opinion, we can use the Internet language in informal occasions.

语言的发展伴随着多媒体的多样化，很多年以前，人们使用正式的语言，因为大部分口语和书面语言差不多。但是随着时间的流逝，人们开始使用电脑，他们分享信息，同时，很多新的语言被创造出来。网络语言为人们所喜爱，他们也乐意使用，因为这很时尚，也能恰当地表达人们的意思。我喜欢使用网络语言，那很新鲜和有趣，而且，也很方便，比如我可以使用短的词来代替长的词。网络语言的问题在于非常不正式，不能书面书写，网络语言也会随着时间而改变。在我看来，我们可以在非正式场合使用网络语言。

In my opinion, the schoolwork now being assigned to high school students is

too heavy. While it is true that students need to study, they need other things

as well if they are to grow into healthy and well-rounded adults. High should be

allowed more time for play. Plying is not wasting time, as some think. It gives

them physical exercise, and also exercise their imagination. Which tends to be

stifled by too much study. Finally, the pressure put on high school students by

excessive schoolwork can cause serious stress, which is unhealthy physically and

mentally. I do not advocate the elimination of schoolwork. I do think, however,

that a reduction of the current heavy load would be beneficial to students and

to the society as a whole.

From Monday until Friday most people are busy working or studying, but in

the evenings and on weekends they are free to relax and enjoy themselves. Some

watch television or go to the movies; others participate in sports. It depends

on individual interests. There are many different ways to spend our spare

time.

Almost everyone has some kind of hobby. It may be anything from collecting

stamps to making model airplanes. Some hobbies are worth a lot of money; others

are valuable only to their owners.

I know a man who has a coin collection worth several thousand yuan. A short

time ago he bought a rare ten-yuan piece worth 250 yuan. He was very happy about

the purchase and thought the price was reasonable. On the other hand, my son

collects match boxes. He has almost 600 of them but I doubt if they are worth

any money. However, to my son they are extremely valuable. Nothing makes him

happier than to find a new match-box for his collection.

Thats what a hobby means, I guess. It is something we like to do in our

spare time simply for the fun of it. The value in money is not important, but

the pleasure it gives us is.

After forty days, new term is going to come, I am going to the playground and I am going to meet my classmates, I am going to meet my new teacher yet. There is going to be many new books in the library .I like and I think, going to our new classroom.

I am very happy.

Recently, the news reported a fireman was retired and he handed in an

application for his dog, which had worked with him for more than eight years.

The fireman wanted his “brother” to go home with him, because the dog had also

came to his time for retirement. The story moves so many people, the

relationship between animal and human being is always the most touching. Dogs

are men’s loyal friends, their affection to master is pure and true. In the

movie Hachi, the dog spends all his life to wait for the return of his master.

Everybody can’t help tearing when they see this scene. The fireman and his dog

had been a team for many years and they are families. There are so many stories

like them, animal are our friends, the harmonious environment will be built if

animals and human beings get well along.

There is an old saying in China“people need face while the trees need skin”，the meaning is that Chinese people pay special attention on the dignity. Loving face is most people’s behavior, so they like to brag, they enjoy being adored by others. About the face problem, I think we should not take it serious, we are not living for other people, we are living for ourselves. The real self-esteem is from our hearts, not from other people. Chinese people like to brag, they brag about their property, hoping that people will respect him. The funny thing is that only the fake successful people will brag, the real one is silent, they keep working hard, the successful career supports their self-esteem. If we want people to respect us, we should show our reality, be nice to them, never brag about ourselves.

在中国有句老话“人要脸树要皮”，意思是中国人很注重尊严问题。爱面子是大多数人的习惯，他们喜欢吹嘘，享受被人崇拜。关于面子问题，我认为我们不应该把它看得很重，我们不是为别人而活，是为自己而活。真正的自尊是出于我们的内心，不是看别人。中国人喜欢吹牛，他们夸大自己的财产，希望人们尊重他们。有趣的是只有不成功的人才会吹牛，真正成功的人是沉默的，他们努力工作，事业的成功支撑着他们的自尊。如果我们想要别人尊重我们，我们应该展示我们真实的一面，对人友好，不要吹牛。

Aerobic exercise is a series of activities which can improve our heart-lung function by maintaining longer, including running, bicycling, swimming and so on. It brings a lot of benefits to our body and psychology.

有氧运动是在长期坚持下可改善心肺功能的一系列活动。有氧运动包括跑步、骑单车、游泳等。这种运动十分有益于身心健康。Physically, taking aerobic exercise advances our physical health and reduces our agony. It promotes our heart and lung function by increasing their expansion and contraction, which is beneficial for resisting pressure from longtime labor or extra-strength work. And it improves fat consumption and metabolism, which lay a solid foundation for disease prevention. Meanwhile, it helps keep our body in a good shape by consuming the overfull calories.生理上，做些有氧运动可以提高我们身体健康，减少我们的痛苦。做有氧运动可增加心肺的伸缩，以提高心肺功能，有益于抵御长期的劳作和加班带来的压力。它还能促进脂肪的消耗，促进新陈代谢，预防疾病。同时，有氧运动还能消耗多余热量，有益于保持良好体型。Psychologically, acting aerobic exercise also conduces to our psychological health. We are able to be more confident and positive that we have capacity of doing something at the best, just like finishing our plans or achieving our destinations in exercise. Thus we can ventilate our negative feelings by doing workout so that we can strive for our dreams again.心理上，进行有氧运动还有利于我们的心理健康。通过户外锻炼我们能消除负面情绪，才能再次为梦想奋斗。Hence, for the wellbeing of body and mind, let us have some aerobic exercise together.因此，为了我们的身心健康，让我们一起来做有氧运动吧!

Dumpling is a traditional Chinese food.On the lunar New Year s Day,most

families make a lot of delicious dumplings.To make them,follow this easy

can begin to make dumpling wrappers.We use a rolling pole to roll the dough into

small,thin and round pieces so that they will be easy to cook.When the wrappers

are done,it s time to prepare the filling.Usually,we use meat such as beef or

mutton,and some vegetables such as cabbage or carrots for filling.You may

actually choose whatever you like to put into it.We must chop those things into

small pieces.Then put some salt,oil and other condiments into it and stir it

evenly.When all these preparations are done,we can start making dumplings.First

put a spoonful of filling in the center of the wrapper.Then stick the two

opposite sides together and then the rest.Don t just cover the filling with the

wrappers.The best shape of dumplings is that of a ship,because when they are

boiling in the pan,they look like ships sailing in the sea.The smell can make

your mouth water.

As the fast development of television technology, the television programs

have been greatly improved. For one thing, there are much more kinds of programs

for audiences than before. For example, there are programs for the elderly or

children, some for females and some for males. Besides, some programs are

educational and some others are interesting that supply knowledge or

entertainment for audiences. For another, the quality of television programs are

better and better. Previously, television programs are largely identical but

with minor differences. People pay little attention on creativity but just copy

from others. The audiences complain that the television programs are so boring

even vulgar that they have little interest to sit down in front of the

television. But now, the situation is quite different. People are sticked in

their sofa to enjoy their favorite television programs. As to me, I like

watching movies and records. I can watch them on television anytime.
