全文共 1826 字
+ 加入清单21st century is the century of technology. Nowadays, technology is
everywhere around us. The development of technology has a significant affact
toward the society. Several technologies that we usually use are the internet,
computer, and cellphone. These new technologies make our life much easier and
better.
First, the development of computer changes our life. Decades ago, people
needed to do lots of complex calculation on hand because they did not have
computer, and more obvious, they did not have the software for calculation. As
the result of that, people spent hours on the equations that a computer can
solve in just a minute. Since the development of computer, people are able to
use some kind of software to compute lots of complex functions and mathematical
calculation. Computer becomes the most helpful equipment for the sciencists
because they can use their time more efficiently.
Also, internet is another useful tool for us today. The development of
internet brings a great impact toward the society. Instead of going to library
and fliping all the books to figure out some information, we can just simply use
a mouse and click on the website to do research. The internet leads us to a
place where we can find unlimited information and resources. It makes our life
much easier and better.
The last technology is cellphone. Nowadays, many people have a cellphone.
But it just appears on the market for about 10 years. It is very convenience to
the users because we can talk to anyone we want with a phone as small as a
wallet. Also, we can communicate with others by making a phone call instead of
sending letters. It is very fast and useful way to communicate.
In conclusion, I believe the development of technology brings significant
impact to our life. It is very helpful to us and I believe technology will keep
improving in future.

On the way to climb mountains with my friends, we also met many climbers,
including young people and old people. The young mans speed of climbing was
fast, and he disappeared in a flash; the old mans climbing was very casual, at
least slowly, with a happy face. Maybe young people climb the mountain to get to
the top of the mountain, while old people climb the mountain to enjoy the
scenery along the way.
My friends and I are neither the first nor the second. We will carefully
taste the scenery along the way of climbing. The speed of climbing is not so
fast and slow. Although its not as fast as those brothers who cant be seen in a
moment, its faster than those masters.
When my friends and I climbed to the top of the mountain, it was the
setting sun, and the red sun dyed the sky red, which was shocking enough. My
friend and I found a place with a wide view. At a glance, the mountains were
rolling. Those mountains were like a line of waves, rolling away to the
distance.
"Wow, its beautiful!" I couldnt help sighing, and my friend followed. The
scenery on the top of the mountain is really beautiful. Its the majestic
atmosphere that makes people feel shocked. My friend and I stood at the top of
the mountain for a long time. Finally, as the light in the sky became more and
more dim, my friend and I went down the mountain reluctantly. When I went down
the mountain with my friends, we were sitting in the corridor. We enjoyed the
scenery. On this day, my friends and I got a lot.
The first time I climbed the mountain, I felt the fun of climbing the
mountain, and also read the scenery of the mountain top. If I have time, I will
go climbing again.

+ 加入清单Study has been part of our life. For some people, they believe that live
and learn is the right attitude to life. I agree with it. As we have so many
things to learn, it is important to learn with efficiency. There are many
suggestions in the following.
First, knowing yourself. It is of great importance to get to know your
strength and weakness, so that you can figure out the right strategy. For
example, the high level students can spend more time to read extra books, while
the low level students should focus attention on their foundation, and time is
needed to spend on the text books.
Second, manage your time and life. It is so common for students to deal
with many things in the same time, then priority should be given to the things
that related to your goal. For example, if you take part in many qualification
tests, then the first choice is the test related to your major, because you need
it to improve your ability.
Learning to learn helps people to work efficiently. If we find the right
strategy, then we will be successful someday.

篇19:关于元宵节英语
全文共 6620 字
+ 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.
