+ 加入清单The protection of the border is not a new problem for us, and our
government has long proposed clear targets for governance. As every ordinary
person in real life, although it is impossible to work directly in environmental
protection, we can start from small things and start from me. Can you raise your
hand when you see the tap in the bathroom? When the battery runs out, can you
classify it instead of throwing it away? How about when shopping doesnt use
ultra-thin plastic bags? ...... Small things are small, but they reflect how
much environmental awareness we have.
Recycling one ton of waste paper can regenerate 800 kg of paper, can save
17 tree. 20 waste recycling boxes can create a beautiful pen container.
Recycling one glass bottle to save the energy, can make the bulb light for four
hours. Recycling one aluminum can is to save the half oil cans. So we should

+ 加入清单Saving Water
The world is not only hungry,but also thirsty for water. This may seem strange to you, since nearly 75 % of the earths surface is covered with water. But about 97% of this huge amount is sea water, or salt water. Man can only drink and use the other 3% -- the fresh water that comes from rivers, lakes,underground, and other sources. And we cannot even use all of that, because some of it is in the form of icebergs and glaciers. Even worse, some of it has been polluted.
However, as things stand today, this small amount of fresh water, which is constantly being replaced by rainfall, is still enough for us. But our need for water is increasing rapidly-- almost day by day. Only if we take steps to deal with this problem now can we avoid a severe worldwide water shortage later on. A limited water supply would have a bad effect on agriculture and industry. Let me give you just one small exampie of how necessary water is to industry. Did you know that to produce a single ton of steel, it takes about 91, 000 liters of water?
We all have to learn how to stop wasting our precious water. One of the first steps we should take is to develop ways of reusing it. Experiments have already been done in this field, but only on a small scale. For us, the systems are as important as the spacecraft.
节约用水
我们的世界不仅饥饿,而且因为缺水而干渴。对你来说这可能似乎奇怪:因为我们的地球表面75%由水覆盖着。但是,这巨大的数量中97%是海水、或咸水。只有剩下3%
的来自河流、湖泊、地下,和其他来源的淡水供人们饮用、使用。即使如此,这3%的水源我们也不能够完全使用,因为有些淡水是以冰山或冰河的形式存在。更糟糕的是,一些水源已遭受了污染。
然而,尽管按现状看来,这些少量的淡水即使时常转化成雨水的形式,对我们来说,也仍然够用。可是我们对水的需求却日益迅速增长。我们只有现在采取措施解决这一问
题才能避免未来世界范围内的严重水资源缺乏。限量供水会对农业和工业产生不良的影响。我们举个小小的事例就能证明水对工业的必要性。每生产一吨钢材就要消耗91,000升水,你知道吗?
我们必须杜绝对宝贵水资源的浪费。我们应该采取的第一步就是要发展水再利用的方法。该领域的实验已在进行,但是仅是小规模地进行。水资源再利用系统的重要性
对我们而言,与空间站不相上下。

篇5:关于成功的因素的英语
全文共 1630 字
+ 加入清单There are many characteristic exist in the world, and characteristic is
very important to people. For example, active, persistence, optimistic makes
people successful; lazy, passive makes people fail. Having a good characteristic
means you have the key to the successful door, but you have to find the way of
success. This is what I am going to talk about, the key to success:
persistence.
Persistence is a key to success, whether for a single person or an
organization. People who lack of it would mean failure in reaching a certain
goal. People need to know that success seldom comes easily on the first try;
they should have the patient to insist trying until they get the goal.
Unsuccessful people try something just a few times, and when it fails, they give
up; they usually pass the blame onto someone or something, and learn nothing
from their experience. Successful people are different, even they fail, and they
won’t lose their passion.
Let me take a famous person to example. His name is Da Vinci, he is known
as a great painter, artist. Everyone knows him, but I think there are not much
people known that how much effort did he made before he became a famous artist.
Da Vinci draw eggs everyday when he was young, hundreds and thousands times a
day. It is definite a boring work, many people could not bear to face an egg and
draw it in different angle thousands times. But Da Vinci did it, and he made it.
We could say it is not for his persistence that he would not get the great
aptitude for painting.
Talent is a gift from god, persistence is a key you’ve got, and effort
makes those working which bring you to open the door of success.

篇7:关于志愿者英语
全文共 1196 字
+ 加入清单Every day, we can see the figures of the volunteers. Actually, they have
formed a kind of scenery of the city. Some people hold that volunteering is
merely a waste of time, because the volunteers have no gains with pains.
However, I believe that doing voluntary is quite rewarding.
In the first place, we can put into practice what we have learnt before,
for instance, when we were asked by a foreigner about the way to some place, we
could practice our oral foreign language, it’s definitely a good opportunity to
express ourselves in a foreign language correctly and clearly.
In the second place, we could make a lot of new friends while we are
volunteering As a proverb says, “At home one relies on one’s parents and outside
on one’s friends”, so it is never a bad thing to have lots of friends.
Finally, helping others is a good way to make you feel happy and when you
help others solve a problem successful, you will feel fulfillment. In this
sense, we reap a bountiful spiritual harvest by doing voluntary work.
On the whole, we can benefit a lot by engaging ourselves in the voluntary
work. Therefore, I suggest those that have abundant spare time registering as
volunteers for the welfare for the public.

to us. But if we cry, she would be disappointed. Therefore, we should be
positive toward life, so as to get happiness.
Actually, happiness is everywhere if we keep a good attitude. As we keep a
good mood, our world will be a sunny land, which is resounded with soft music.
However, if we are pessimists, well find our world is full of darkness.
While on the other side, happiness is not a destination but a
journey.Because theres no paradise at all, but we can make a paradise if were
hard-working and intelligent. So we should work like we dont need money, smile
like weve never been hurt, and perform ourselves like no one can see us.

must talk to others to give and get information, but how can we communicate with
others? Some people claim that they don’t know what to say and how to speak to
others, strangers especially. I think first you should find a topic that both of
you are interested in. Then, pay attention to your manners, speed, pitch,
expressions and your body language. You should make others feel comfortable, so
that they are willing to talk to you. Last but not the least, being a good
listener. Listening to others shows your respect to them. Only when they heard,

全文共 1597 字
+ 加入清单When it comes to November 11, what’s on your mind? Well, as to the old
generations, it’s only an ordinary day; however, the young generations will
consider it as the Singles’ Day as well as the on-line shopping carnival. In
fact, on November 11th, 2013, Tmall and Taobao (the biggest Chinese online
shopping platform) has sold out more than 35 billion Yuan goods, this data has
astonished the media at home and abroad. Apparently, people have more interests
on cyber shopping than spend the night with their single friends. Some home
media even suggest that November 11th should be the Chinese on-line shopping
carnival.
In 2010, Jack Ma, the CEO of Tmall and Taobao, had coined the term “Double
Eleven”, aimed to encourage the single people to do something to celebrate their
own festival. Instead of dating lovers, people go on-line shopping to relive the
loneliness. According to the survey, China had 564 million Internet users at the
end of last year and 180 million single people. And the single people are the
main force of the China’s spending power. The debut was a great success. Then
“11.11” has an unusual meaning, which stands for on-line shopping carnival.
Comparing with the traditional shopping, the cyber shopping has more
distinguish features, which quite fit the young generations’ taste. People do
not need to go outside, just click their mouse, the goods will be home. The best
part is you can do it anywhere, anytime. All you need is a credit card. What we
can predict in the future is that on-line shopping is not going to fade away,
instead, it will boost like the mushrooms after spring rains.
篇14:2024初中英语教师个人工作计划
全文共 1760 字
+ 加入清单本学期,我将结合学校工作计划和学校教学工作计划的要求,规范常规教学,提高教学质量,努力形成自己的教学特色。
一、总体思路
以努力提高教学质量为目标,以抓好教学常规工作,提高英语合格率为重点,采用任务型教学法,注重“学困生”的教育补差工作,形成良好的教学风气。
二、学生情况分析
经过一学期的学习,从上期期末成绩来看,七年级两个班的英语成绩比较理想。平均分82分。大部分学生学习目的明确,态度端正,掌握了英语学习的一些基本方法,能够积极主动认真地学习,学习成绩较好。但还有少部分学生没有明确的学习目的,缺少学习的热情和主动性,自觉性较差,相应的学习习惯也差,加上两极分化十分严重。
三、教材分析
《Goforit》七年级下册共14个单元,包括2个复习单元。全书采用任务型语言教学模式,融汇话题、交际功能和语言结构,形成了一套循序渐进的生活化的学习程序。每个单元都列出明确的语言目标,主要的功能项目与语法结构,需要掌握的基本词汇,并分为A、B两部分。A部分是基本的语言内容,B部分是知识的扩展和综合的语言运用。每个单元还有selfcheck部分,供学生自我检测本单元所学的语言知识。它采用“语言的输入---学生的消化吸收---学生的语言输出”为主线编排的。
四、教学目标
掌握本册书上的重点词汇、词组以及句型。通过本学期的学习,培养学生对英语的学习兴趣,形成有效的学习策略,有效提高学习效率,发展双基能力;培养听、说、读、写的能力,使学生初步获得运用英语的能力,达到语言运用能力的迁移和拓展;通过了解世界,了解不同地区的人文风俗,学会理解和尊重异国文化,并使学生在人际交往中学会尊重和理解别人,能在小组活动中积极与他人合作,相互帮助,共同完成学习任务,尽情享受学习的乐趣。
五、教学措施
1、加强词汇教学,包括单词拼写、词义记忆,语言功能的训练。
词汇是文章、句子的基本单位,词汇量的大小,将直接关系到学生能否流利地运用英语进行交际;能否熟练地用英语读和写;能否顺利地用英语思考。从上学期的期末考试所反映的问题看,在今后的教学中,在加强拼读与拼写的同时,应帮助学生进行有意识记,应加强对词的用法及内在含义的理解,要培养学生用英语解释单词的能力,逐步启发引导学生用英语思考。单词教学一定要做到词不离句,这样,学生在学会了单词的同时,也学会了词的一些基本用法。
2、每天背诵课文中的对话,培养语感。
3、基本的语法教学一定要与语境相结合。
进行语法操练时,要坚持“四位一体”,即话题、语境、结构、功能相结合。抓住话题,联系语境,确定语法结构,明确语法功能(交际功能)。要重视语法知识对于培养语言运用功能的基础作用,又要注重改革教法。课堂上一定要有生动活泼的教学活动。
4、进一步培养阅读能力和写作能力。
阅读和写作能力的培养是英语教学的又一重点。阅读和写作能力的培养在于平时。教师在平时讲解阅读理解题时,应着力帮助学生分析语言材料,而不是核对答案;平常应该多写作文。
5、做好学困生转化和优秀生培养工作。
优秀生:___,___,__,___。
学困生:___,___,__,___,___,___,___,___,___,___,___,___,___。
尤其对学困生进行专门辅导,布置一些作业,让他们在小进步、小转变中体会学习的快乐,树立学习的自信,尽快成长起来。
6、继续搞好师徒结对活动。
师徒结对活动也是一种好的学习方式。
7、作业布置要做到数量适中,批阅及时,对出现的问题要跟踪矫正,认真讲评,尽量面批面改。提高练习质量,要精选资料。
六、教研课题
《浅谈英语阅读能力的培养》
措施:用新的教学理念指导英语阅读教学,进一步改变教法和学法,培养学生对英语阅读的兴趣,提高学生的英语阅读能力,提高英语教学效果。
1、尝试通过各种形式的学习,例如复述课文、把课文改编成情景剧、阅读竞赛等活动,提高学生学习英语的兴趣,从而达到自主积累、综合运用英语的目的,并指导学生运用科学的方法记忆单词、阅读课文,取得事半功倍的效果。
2、通过信息技术与学科整合的手段,以课内为基础,增加课外阅读的量,指导学生借助信息手段和工具书理解文章基本内容的方法,提高学生的英语自学能力。
3、以复述课文、回答问题、判断正误、通过上下文线索猜词义为载体,培养学生的综合阅读技能,提高学生的英语阅读理解能力。
篇15:关于英语作文traveling高1
全文共 1227 字
+ 加入清单Nowadays, with long holidays at hand,travelinghas become a new trend for
us to relax ourselves outside work. Some people even had made a plan for it a
long time before the holiday begins. They usually travel with good friends or
travel along; only few people take their parents into travel plan. However, I
think it is high time for us to travel with parents.
In the first place, we should spend more time with parents. According to
research, if we come home 5 days a year, spend 4 hours a day with parents, it
would be less than 300 hours of 30 years, which means 25 days. We could see it
now that there is not much time for us to spend with our parents after we go to
work or have our own family. Hence, we should travel with our parents.
In the second place, parents used to took us to travel when we were young,
why don’t we take them as return when we are capable to do that. It is not the
matter of we are set free from parents, we are not a traitorous teenager
anymore, and we have time and money, of course we should take a trip with
parents. Holiday would be a good time for us to travel with parents, just like
the old time.
To summarize, we should make a plan for parents in holiday. Holiday is a
great gift for us and our parents.
篇16:手机英语年级
全文共 3150 字
+ 加入清单Cellular phones have had a major impact on our lives and the way that we
perform every day tasks. Many of these changes are apparent, while others we may
not even be aware of.
Cell phones have brought a whole new meaning to the term multitasking.
Twenty years ago, it was not possible to talk to the office while you were at
the grocery store picking up some necessary items. You could never have had a
three-way business conference while you were fixing dinner or been able to deal
with a business client from home while caring for a sick child. Cell phones have
enabled us to do various tasks all at the same time.
Cell phones have also enabled families to keep in closer touch with each
other. Children can contact you if they have missed their ride form soccer
practice and your spouse can call while he is stuck in traffic to let you know
that he is going to be late for supper. Teenagers are able to call to ask
permission to go somewhere, and with GPS features that are now available on some
cell phones, you are able to check to make sure that they are where they are
suppose to be.
Many of these advantages we do not even notice. Have you ever arrived at
the grocery store and realized that you have forgotten your grocery list? The
first thing you would probably do is to call home and have one of your children
read the list off to you. In the same situation in past years, you may have
forgotten things or have had to drive all the way back home to get it. If your
car breaks down, you automatically call for help instead of having to walk to
find a pay phone. Cell phones have certainly made our lives much more
convenient.
Cell phones have also changed the way that people interact with each other.
When we call someone, we are actually calling the person and not a place. This
enables us to be more spontaneous when making plans as you rarely get a busy
signal and unlike a land line telephone, someone is always home. Cell phones
also enable us to call if we are going to be late for an appointment, although
this has led to cell phone users running late more often than those who do not
have cell phones. These users seem to have adopted the attitude that appointment
times are not concrete and use their cell phones to renegotiate their arrival
time.
One of the greatest disadvantages of the cellular phone is the fact that we
do not talk to strangers when traveling anymore. In the past, several people
waiting for a bus would engage in a conversation while they were waiting. People
who traveled the same routes every day might develop friendships along the way.
This situation does not happen anymore. Today when people are waiting for a bus,
they just pull out their cell phones and speak with old friends, missing out on
the opportunity to make new ones. In large cities, many people do not know their
neighbors, even though they may have lived in the same neighborhood for years.
As a society, we are beginning to lose the face-to-face contact that was such an
important part of our lives in the past.
Cell phones are a great asset in aiding in our every day lives. You should
remember, however, to hang up every once in a while and pay attention to the
world around you.

cards, gifts and flowers. In many countries, such as Denmark, Finland, Italy,
Turkey, Australia and the US, people cel lebrate Mother’s Day on the second
Sunday in May while many other countries of the world celebrate their own
Mother’s day at different times through out the year.
One of the best ways to celebrate Mother’s Day is to give your mom the day
off. Let her relax with the rest of the family doing all the housework. Usually,
dad and the kids will let mom sleep late that morning as they go into the
kitchen to prepare her favourite breakfast. Never forget to place a vase with a
single flower on the table beside the food. The kids can pick up the flower from
the garden or buy one from the shop. Arrange everything nicely before mom wakes
up. Some families will carry the food and mom’s favourite sections from the
newspaper to her bedroom so that mom can have breakfast in bed. Presents and
cards from the kids can be handed to mom by themselves or just placed on the
dining table.
After breakfast, go anywhere mom likes to go. Shopping, swimming or going on
a picnic in the garden. Make a special Mother’s Day dinner or take mom out for a
great meal in a famous restaurant she loves most.
Anyway ,let mom enjoy the whole day and feel your love, and then the Mother’s
Day can be a good one. As Mother’s Day is around the corner, it’s time to take
actions!

hard names. It is not as bad as you are.
It looks poorest when you are richest. The fault-finder will find faults in
paradise. Love your life, poor as it is.
You may perhaps have some pleasant, thrilling, glorious hours, even in a
poor-house. The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the alms-house as
brightly as from the rich mans abode; the snow melts before its door as early
in the spring. I do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there, and
have as cheering thoughts, as in a palace.
