products. They give us shade and they help to prevent drought and floods.
Unfortunately, in many parts of our country, people havent realized the
importance of trees. They cut them down at will. They are usually too lazy or
too careless to plant and look after new trees. As a result, the forests
continue to disappear.
Where there are no trees the rain falls on the surface, causing floods, and
carries away with the rich topsoil, in which crops grow so well. When all the
topsoil is gone, nothing remains but worthless deserted.
The big floods of 1998, in parts of China, have already taught us a good
lesson. So every one of us must love trees, protect forests, and keep on
planting trees each year.

篇11:关于朋友英语作文高中
全文共 3213 字
+ 加入清单There is an old Chinese saying: Top students come from strict teachers.
Perhaps affected by this saying for a long time, we believe it right. However,
as time flies, lots of things have changed. Therefore, I am eager to discuss
what relation is the best between teachers and students.A teacher can treat a
student in two ways .One is strict, and the other is friendly. Most teachers
prefer the first way.To start with, we certainly have to admit that strictness
is very effective, especially to the naughty pupils.
As pupils we aren’t able to control ourselves well or fix our attention on
one thing for a long time. We do most things because they are interesting or we
feel like doing. We are always looking out of the window in class. Sometimes, we
get to play games and forget our homework. On this occasion, strictness is a
must. It not only forces us to do the right thing, but also helps us develop a
good learning habit, which is of great importance during our whole life .In
other words, it is the first step to success.Still, everything has two sides.
Its weak points are very obvious. You see, there’re top students in a class,
where average students make up the majority. Then teachers’ orders or
suggestions are for the majority, not for top students. However, top students
always have their own study plans and prefer special homework, so orders usually
won’t take great effect on them.
Maybe you have thought out that teachers can give orders only to the
majority and set some freedom to top students. However, it’s impossible .For a
whole class, teachers couldn’t give order to part of the class, for the majority
would question why they needn’t do such work, but we need? It would be probable
that they think teachers treat them not equally, and will not obey teachers’
orders any more. This is a difficulty for teachers.It also has another
disadvantage——the communication problem .Since teachers are strict, we never
tell teachers our personal affairs or secrets. Mostly we just tell them to our
friends, but as students too, they couldn’t help to solve our problem, such as
puppy love, communication problems or study problems .Not being solved
completely, they always disturb us, influencing our daily life and study. I’m
sure that you think that making friends with teachers can solve the problem, and
you are eager to do so as well. But if we do so, new problems will come out .You
see, an adult couldnt control himself well at times, let alone us students.
However if teachers are our friends, I doubt whether their orders will take
effect any more .You see, have we ever treated our friends’ orders as orders? We
think they’re only jokes. This is another difficulty for teachers.Additionally,
our parents have the same problem. Yes, we need to be friends, but not complete
friends. We need to keep a certain distance, making us communicate well and
willing to take your orders. I remember a story.One day, a lady had her rest
room decorated. And a skilled worker was bricking up the wall. Seeing large
cracks between the bricks, she questioned why. The worker told her after this
summer, the bricks would become bigger, and those cracks would disappear.That is
not only decoration, but also communication. The principle is the same.

篇14:食品安全英语

+ 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.?

篇17: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.

world.But
I dont think so. In my opinion, to read books is more valuable than
anything else.
The old saying “To open a book is always helpful” clearly tells us how good
it is to read a book.
Books are our friends. They introduce us different kinds of knowledge. They
lead us down the road to success.
Books are our teachers. They teach us troth, science, literature, and
philosophy of life. Besides, they increase our knowledge, enlarge our
experience,strengthen our character and do many other things which we can not do

+ 加入清单The Dragon Boat Festival is one of the most popular traditional festivals
celebrated in China, which is on the fifth of the fifth lunar month, also known
as Duanwu Festival. It’s said that it is to commemorate the death of a Chinese
patriotic poet, Qu Yuan, who was snared by corrupt officials in ancient China
and finally committed suicide by drowning himself in the Miluo River to protest
against them.
The traditions and customs held on this festival differ from place to
place, but there are some common in them. First, the most famous and great
tradition is holding Dragon Boat races, which are held by fishermen’s attempt to
protect Qu Yuan’s body against attacking by fishes and other animals in the
river by beating drums and row the dragon shaped boat. Nowadays dragon boat
races have been an annual popular sport activity among people. In addition,
making and eating Zongzi—a dumpling made of glutinous rice and wrapped in bamboo
or reed leaves—is also a popular custom during this day. It can be made by many
kinds of stuffing. What’s more, hanging herbs on the front door, drinking
realgar wine and pasting up picture of Zhongkui—a mythic guardian figure in
ancient china—are also popular during the festival, which are mean to protect
people from evil and disease.
These customs and traditions have been changed a little in recent years,
but they still make contribution to the spread and inheritance of Chinese
culture.
