事件英语作文：为汶川哀悼热门20篇

It seems we are living in the conflict between modern and traditional

cultures every day. Hearing the blaring of horns the moment you step out of your

house, seeing the so called "pop" the moment you open your eyes, you cant help

thinking, "Will the traditional culture be gradually lost?"

Many people believe so. They may put right in front of you all the

evidences they can dig out. They may argue that people are rushing to

restaurants instead of cooking at home, listening to pop music but not

traditional, wearing in a way people couldnt imagine ten years ago. Modern

people like the air of freedom, not to be restrained by traditions. They offer

this long list, only trying to confirm that this world is full of

fashion,competition and temptation and the traditional culture is fading and

will be lost at last.

Though we are now living in a world in which undeclared aggression, war,

hypocrisy, chicanery, anarchy are part of our daily life. Though this is a

skeptical age, and our faith has weakened, our confidence in some aspects of the

traditional culture should and would never be lost.

Wouldnt you agree that our traditional culture is always credited with

modesty, politeness and respectfulness, which have always been treasured for

more than five thousand years?Even in this modern world, people still admire

those with good manners, those who are polite to others or respectful to old

people.

Wouldnt you agree that our Chinese traditional music is beautiful and

artistic and our Chinese tea culture is always an appealing treasure to people

around the world?

So there may just be some changes in our lifestyle or our attitudes towards

life, but little change occurs to some fundamental aspects of our traditional

culture that people still treasure in heart.

The traditional culture will never be lost, I believe.

The computer is a very useful machine. It is the most important invention

in many years. People use it widely today in many ways.

Most computers have memories. People can store information in them and take

it out at any time. Computers are getting smaller and smaller, and working

faster and faster.

Computer can do many kinds of work. Now in many large factories there are

very few people. Computers do most of the work. They really help a lot.

During weekdays, I am busy, because I must go to school. I usually get up

at 6:30 a.m.. And then I do some washing. After that, I will have my breakfast

at 6:50. I usually go to school at 7:15. Now, I can go to school and come home

by myself. I have four classes in the morning and three in the afternoon. I have

my lunch at home. I study Chinese, math, English and some other subjects at

school. At night, I can watch TV or play computer. But I have to finish my

homework first. I usually go to bed at 10:00 p.m..

At present, there is a hot word in our life - "low carbon". For this new

friend, I have done a detailed understanding, the original, low carbon is to

reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Low carbon environmental protection, green

travel, in todays society, bike sharing is the top priority.

In 2017, shared bicycles have sprung up on the streets of Fuzhou with

colorful colors, including blue, orange and yellow Dressed up in the beautiful

streets of Fuzhou. It serves every citizen of Fuzhou and brings convenience to

us. Everyone is contributing to the environmental protection cause of Fuzhou.

This is the responsibility and obligation of Fuzhou citizens. I see the rapid

development of bike sharing. There are yellow cars, Moby bikes, and hello bikes

This aroused my curiosity, and I also wanted to experience it. Today, I took my

mothers mobile phone and couldnt wait to find a small yellow car. I turned on my

mobile phone, scanned the QR code of the bike sharing car, and input the

password. I only heard "didi" and the lock on the bike was opened. This

operation is really convenient. So my mom and I got on the bike sharing. We

enjoy the scenery on both sides of the road, talking and laughing all the way,

but also exercise. This is really a healthy and environmentally friendly way to

travel!

However, the good time is not long, bike sharing is facing unprecedented

disaster. Some are thrown into rivers, some are short of arms and legs, some are

locked in private Where are the qualities of these people? Is this the quality

that we Chinese should have? No, this is not the quality that we Chinese should

have! This small bike sharing is like a mirror, reflecting the quality of

Chinese people. The original intention of bike sharing is good, it can bring

convenience to the public, low-carbon environmental protection, green travel! I

hope you can maintain bike sharing together!

With the progress of society, peoples quality should be constantly

improved. Bike sharing is a good invention. Lets protect it together. Low carbon

and environmental protection. Starting from me, lets maintain a better tomorrow

with both hands. Lets make our sky bluer and our air cleaner!

Mobilize是一个平时不太常用的单词，但是此次四川地震灾难发生之后，全世界对于中国政府mobilize抗震救灾力量的效率给予了好评，我们也可以对mobilize有一个全新的认识与了解。在表示“废墟”的时候，英语中通常使用debris和rubble这两个单词。与地震相关的其他词语还包括地震的“震级”，“震中”，“地震强度”、“余震”等等，这些用英语怎么说?媒体是怎样报道的，让我们一起来学学!

2008年5月12日发生在四川西北部的特大地震及其惨重后果牵动了全体国人的心，媒体也迅速介入，在灾难发生后的第一时间，中央电视台启动24小时滚动直播。与此同时，西方媒体也纷纷迅速报道，而且大多惊叹中国政府的救灾效率，尤其是中国政府能在最短的时间内动员最大的人力投入救灾十分赞叹。

通过这些外媒的报道，我们也得到了一个通过新闻学习英语的良好机会，如果我们在积极关注地震灾难以及随后的可歌可泣抗争救灾行动的时候也注意通过英语媒体了解情况，我们就可以掌握一些地道的英语表达，丰富我们的语言应用能力。如美联社5月16日的一篇报道中有以下一段文字：China has mobilized 130,000 army and paramilitary troops to the disaster area, but the quake buckled roads and triggered mountain landslides, meaning that relief supplies and rescuers have struggled to reach the worst-hit areas.

Mobilize是一个平时不太常用的单词，但是此次四川地震灾难发生之后，全世界对于中国政府mobilize抗震救灾力量的效率给予了好评，我们也可以对mobilize有一个全新的认识与了解。中国政府此次动员的抗震救灾力量主要来自军警，上述文字中的paramilitary troops就是“准军事部队”的意思，也就是警察，包括武警。Paramilitary是西方国家通常用来表达警察和武警部队的英语词汇，在我国的汉英词典中，“武警”的译文通常是armed police，但这个表达远不如paramilitary在英语国家中用的普遍。中国政府此次出动的抗震救灾力量中除了军人之外还有大量武警、森林警察、消防警察和普通公安干警，这些警力在英语中可以统称为paramilitary troops。Buckled roads就是“阻挡道路”的意思，其中buckle这个单词在这里使用得十分生动形象，因为“阻挡道路”我们一般是表达为block road的，而buckle的意思是“使扭曲”，“使弯曲”，“使变形”，对于在汶川地震中毁坏的公路来说，buckle这个词显然是再形象不过的了，因为那里遭到毁坏的公路确实扭曲断裂变形了，这一点我们从电视上都看到了。triggered mountain landslides就是“引发山体滑坡”的意思，其中的mountain landslide就是“山体滑坡”的意思，slide属于美国英语用法，指的是(土、石、雪等的)崩落，崩塌。常见派生用法有landslide(山崩，滑坡，塌方)，mud slide就是“泥石流”。Trigger这个词用在这里也十分形象，因为它通常表示由于外来力量的作用而造成的某种后果。在美联社的另外一篇报道中，“引发”的英语对应词汇用的spark，其释义与trigger相似，如A strong aftershock sparked landslides near the epicenter of this weeks powerful earthquake Friday, burying vehicles and again cutting off ravaged areas of central China. 我们抗震救灾中所急需的各类“救灾物资”就是relief supplies。说到与“救”相关的词汇，我们的广大英语学习者往往会条件反射想到save这个英语单词，其实不然，在各种灾难救援行动中，rescue是一个更常用的词汇，下文的rescuers就是“救援人员”的意思，而“救援行动”本身在英语中就是relief。“救援人员”还可以表达为relief workers，如美联社的这篇报道中就提到了以下一句话：Relief workers said food, water and tents were urgently needed. 上文中的worst-hit areas指的就是此次地震灾害中受灾最严重的地区，比如说汶川，北川和青川等地。

此次汶川地震造成的严重后果之一就是大量人员、尤其是正在学校上学的孩子们被掩埋在建筑物坍塌之后的废墟之中，在表示“废墟”的时候，英语中通常使用debris和rubble这两个单词。如美联社的这篇报道提到：Rescuers saved a child from the debris of a school in the town of Beichuan 80 hours after the quake struck. They said they could hear weak calls for help from amid the rubble, Xinhua said.其中，debris所涵盖的范围比rubble更广泛，它可以泛指一切物体解体之后形成的碎片或者残骸，比如说飞机发生空难之后的残骸the debris of a plane，又如，The beach was littered with debris(海滩上到处都是残骸)。必须指出的是，debris是不可数名词。相对而言，rubble用在此次地震灾难的报道中就更加具有针对性，因为它表示(被毁的建筑物或墙壁)的碎石，碎砖，瓦砾，而汶川地震之后大量人员就是被掩埋在rubble之中的。Rubble同样也是不可数名词。此外，表示“倒塌的建筑物”时候，英语还经常使用ruin，它是可数名词，因此更经常使用ruins这个复数形式，其搭配介词是in。如美联社的这一报道说：Two girls held handsin the ruins of their school and swore to each other they would not give up hope, Xinhua said.又如，Elsewhere, rescuers were still finding survivors after being buried in rubble for 96 hours… 在词语搭配方面，除了ruin之外，rubble和debris的搭配介词也都是in，如buried in the rubble/debris就是“被掩埋在废墟/瓦砾之中”的意思。如果表达“被困”在废墟之中，那么，这时候的相应单词就是trap，其完整的词组表达就是英语被动式be trapped in the debris。如美联社的报道说： A Chinese state news agency says rescuers have pulled a student to safety afterbeing trapped for 80 hours in the debris of a school following this weeks massive earthquake.地震中的遇险人员在遭到掩埋之后必定会呼救，这时候的对应英语表达除了上文提到的call for help之外还可以是yell for help，如美联社报道说：Xinhua News Agency said Friday that rescuers could still hear weak yells for help from the collapsed building in Beichuan in the northern part of Sichuan and hope to rescue more students.

汶川大地震造成的灾难性后果之一就是许多学校的教学楼坍塌了，此次我国媒体报道的时候使用的词语叫做“垮塌”，在英语中，无论是坍塌还是垮塌，其实都是一个词，即collapse，既是名词，也是动词，还是美联社的同一篇报道中提到：In the town of Dujiangyan, a school collapse buried 900 students. In Wufu, nearly every building in the village withstood the quake but for a primary school, whose collapse killed some 300 students. 又如，美联社新闻说，Experts said hope was quickly fading for anyone still caught in the wreckage of homes, schools, offices and factories that collapsed in the magnitude-7.9 quake, the most powerful in three decades in quake-prone China.房屋collapse的后果就是被夷为平地，而英语中表示“夷为平地”的对应说法是flatten，如美联社报道说The magnitude 7.9 quake flattened houses, schools and offices the southwestern province of Sichuan. In Hanwang, the towns mostly older buildings were flattened or severely damaged by the quake.

此次地震造成大量人员不幸遇难，让我们无不为之揪心，但这又是无法回避的事实。为此，党中央和国务院紧急强调，在抗震救灾进入第二阶段之后，随着死亡人数的增加和气温的升高，震区防疫就成为工作重点。为严防灾区传染病流行，卫生部防疫队5月15日进驻灾区。这里提到的“防疫”就是epidemic prevention，其中的epidemic是“流行病”，“传染病”的意思，在这里指的是“疫情”。如美联社的这一报道说：There were concerns about epidemics if the dead were not soon buried or cremated. 这个句子中的cremate是人死亡之后进行火化处理的意思。为了更好地应对震区可能出现的疫情，卫生部下发了通知，美联社的报道说：The Ministry of Health issued a notice ordering bodies to be cleaned where they were found and buried as soon as possible, far from water sources and downwind from populated areas.

此次惨烈的大地震造成了数以万计的居民遇难，而且死亡人数还在不断攀升。天灾人祸中的死亡总数，英语中叫做death toll，如美联社报道说The emergency headquarters of the State Council, Chinas Cabinet, said the confirmed death toll had reached 19,509 — up more than 4,500 from the day before. The council said deaths could rise to 50,000, state media reported.上文的意思是，国家抗震救灾总指挥部宣布，截止5月15日，确认的死亡人数已达到19509人，但最终遇难人数可能上升到5万人。

地震造成的直接后果是无数人死伤和无数房屋建筑被毁，但是，地震还可能造成伴随而来的“次生灾害”，对此党中央和国务院十分重视，及时做出应对部署，以避免次生灾害对人民生命财产的再次损害。美联社报道说：Even though aftershocks had mostly abated, the risk of secondary damage remained. Chinas Ministry of Land and Resources warned heavy rains — forecast for the next few days — would likely set off new landslides in the mountainous disaster zone, where many workers were busy extracting victims and recovering bodies.上文中的secondary damage就是“次生灾害”，而aftershocks had mostly abated指的是余震已经减弱。 5月20日下午，中共中央政治局常委、国务院总理、国务院抗震救灾总指挥部总指挥温家宝主持召开总指挥部第11次会议时就强调切实做好受灾群众安置工作，防范次生灾害。

与地震相关的其他词语还包括地震的“震级”，“震中”，“地震强度”、“余震”等等，如美联社报道说，A major earthquake measuring 7.8 Richter Scale jolted Wenchuan County of Southwest Chinas Sichuan province at 2:28 p.m. on Monday.其中的measuring 7.8 Richter Scale就是“里氏7?8级”的意思，其中的measure还可以表达为register。A major earthquake of 7.8-magnitude shook Chinas Sichuan province on Monday, the US Geological Survey said. 其中的magnitude就是表示地震的强度。Roads to the epicenter were closed due to damage caused by the 7.8-magnitude quake, and the situation was making rescue efforts difficult even 48 hours after the deadly quake.这里的epicenter指的就是地震的“震中”，此次川西北大地震的震中就位于汶川县的映秀镇。又如，A strong aftershock sparked landslides near the epicenter of this weeks powerful earthquake Friday, burying vehicles and again cutting off ravaged areas of central China. Aftershock就是“余震”，上文已提及。而“地震”除了表达为earthquake及其缩略形式quake之外还可以说temblor，这是美国英语中用来表示“地震”的单词。此外，由于此次地震造成的伤亡后果十分惨重，因此在修饰性词汇方面，英语中用了多个不同单词，如massive/powerful/devastating/deadly/killer earthquake。

当然，与地震相关的词语表达还有很多，不可能在这里一一列举。在关注地震奉献爱心的时候，我们也可以通过阅读英语新闻报道来掌握一些英语词汇，丰富我们的语言表达能力，新闻媒介是当今日新月异的政治、经济、科技、文化和社会生活等各个层面活动的最佳表现渠道，语言便是其表现载体，因为语言是伴随着特定的政治、社会等环境而产生的，具有明显的社会性。

High school students have come into a sensitive stage, their bodies grow so

fast and their minds have to keep up with the change. The boys and girls start

to realize the gender difference, there will be some awkward moments between

them. The troubled adolescent annoys many teenagers, because they have problems

all the time. For the girls, they want to look as beautiful as the commercial

models, so they go on a diet and struggle with hunger. For the boys, they want

to be as cool as the heroes in the TV, so they pretend to care about nothing and

go against the school regulations. The troubles teenagers meet are very typical,

they can talk to their teachers or go to see the psychologist. They need to take

the right attitudes towards these problems, or they will go the wrong way.

今年是新中国成立66周年!十月一日这天，我们全家早早的坐在电视机旁等待观看盛世大阅兵。

十点钟，国庆阅兵式正式开始了，只看见许多军人站在天安门前，有海军、空军、陆军……都站得笔直笔直的，像一棵棵挺拔的青松，接受胡锦涛同志的检阅。整个阅兵式展示了祖国雄厚的国防力量，国泰民安，祖国繁荣昌盛的美好景象。

国庆期间，我和爷爷去了拙政园玩。汽车在路上行驶着，我看见窗外人民桥两旁用鲜花做成的花环，在阳光下更加亮丽，使国庆的气氛更加浓厚了!走在通往拙政园的那条小街上，看到街的两旁的摊位都插着五星红旗，表达对祖国的深厚感情。许多外来游客看见了这么美的景色由衷的伸出了大拇指。拙政园里有菊花，菊花的颜色可多了，有黄色的、红的、白的，五彩缤纷的，美丽极了!

国庆节使我对祖国的了解更深了，对祖国的感情也更深厚了，使我更加热爱我的祖国中国!

When memory began for me, my grandfather was past sixty-a great tall man

with thick hair becoming gray. He had black eyes and a straight nose which ended

in a slightly flattened tip. Once he explained seriously to me that he got that

flattened tip as a small child when he fell down and stepped on his nose.

The little marks of laughter at the corners of his eyes were the prodnct of

a kindly and humorous nature. The years of work which had bent his shoulders had

never dulled his humour nor his love of a joke.

Everywhere he went, "Gramp" made friends easily. At the end of half an hour

you felt you had known him all your life. I soon learned that he hated to give

orders , but that when he had to, he tried to make his orders sound like

suggestions.

One July morning, as he was leaving to go to the cornfield, he said :

"Edwin, you can pick up the potatoes in the field today if you want to do that.

" Then he drove away with his horses.

The day passed, and I did not have any desire to pick up potatoes. Evening

came and the potatoes were still in the field. Gramp, dusty and tired, led the

horses to get their drink.

"How many bags of potatoes were there?" Gramp inquired. "I dont know.

"

"How many potatoes did you pick up?"

"I didnt pick any. " "Not any! Why not?"

"You said I could pick, them up if I wanted to. You didnt say I had to.

"

In the next few minutes I learned a lesson I would not forget: when Gramp

said I could if I wanted to, he meant that I should want to.

Gram hated cruelty and injustice. The injustices of history, even those of

a thousand years before, angered her as much as the injustices of her own

day.

She also had a deep love of beauty. When she was almost seventy-five, and

had gone to live with one of her daughters, she spent a delightful morning

washing dishes because, as she said, the beautiful patterns on the dishes gave

her pleasure. The bird, the flowers, the clouds-all that was beautiful around

her- pleased her. She was like the father of the French painter, Millet, who

used to gather grass and show it to his son , saying , "See how beautif ul this

is ! "

In a pioneer society it is the harder qualities of mind and character that

are of value. The softer virtues are considered unnecessary. Men and women

struggling daily to earn a living are unable, even for a moment, to forget the

business of preserving their lives. Only unusual people, like my grandparents,

manage to keep the softer qualities in a world of daily struggle.

Such were the two people with whom I spent the months from June to

September in the wonderful days of summer and youth.

Last weekend, I wanted to swim in the river that I usually wen in the

childhood. When I went there, I was shock. The river is no longer like before.

It was full of rubbish. It seemed that the rubbish is from the villagers

themselves. In order to put the rubbish nearer, they put all of them into the

river. Not only the water is not clean any more, the river also smelt bad. I

real touched. Why human and the environment couldn’t live harmonious? Long time

ago, they could get along with each other. Why not now? People have to stop

their behavior to harm the environment. Otherwise, it would cause destruction to

both sides.

if you want to understand adversity, take two identical acorns from the same oak tree and plant them in two different locations. plant the first in the middle of a dense forest, and the other on a hill by itself.

要是你想理解什么是逆境，就去拿两颗从同一棵树上摘下来年龄相同的橡树果，并且把它们种到不同的地方。第一颗种在浓密的树林当中，而另外一颗则单独种在一座山上。

heres what will happen. the oak standing on a hillside is exposed to every storm and gale. as a result its roots plunge deep into the earth and spread in every direction, even wrapping themselves around giant boulders. at times it may seem the tree isnt growing fast enough—but the growth is happening underground. its as if the roots know they must ported the tree from the threatening elements.

事情的结果便是这样。那颗长在山上的橡树经历了大风大雨，结果它的根深深地扎进了泥土中间，并不断向四周扩张，甚至把自己置身于巨大的石块当中。有时它可能看起来长的不是很快，但这时它却在地下悄悄生长着，好像它的根知道自己必须快速生长来保护树木免受自然危害的影响。

The summer vacation is here, and the students are very happy. Now I will

introduce to you how my summer vacation was spent.

When I started to do my homework during the summer vacation, I was always

afraid that I would not finish it. As a result, on July 15th, I was almost

finished. After a few days, the rest of the homework was finished, and there

were only two essays left. I didnt write until August 14th. Next week, my

parents are going to take me to play for two days. I am very happy. Summer is

almost over and I really wish it would be longer.

The summer vacation is almost over, and I have something to worry

about.

Its just that I havent written an essay yet. The school will start soon,

when will I write? In ancient times, people often said: The young and the strong

do not work hard, and the boss is sad. We want us to cherish time, but if I am

different, I will waste time. I am lazy. I hope this shortcoming can be

corrected. I hope you can support me a lot!

Today is the first day of my learning to swim. Before that, I prepared some

necessary things for swimming, such as swimming caps, swimming trunks, swimming

goggles, etc., and I was excited for several days, looking forward to todays

arrival.

When I came to the swimming pool of Baolihao Fitness Center, I saw that the

water was clear and clear, and it could be used as a mirror. I was in a group

with three other children, who, like me, came to study on the first day. Our

main task today is to practice holding and breathing. Yutian, I have never been

in contact with water, so at first I was afraid to hold my breath because of the

water, but when I saw everyone elses head sinking, I mustered up the courage to

sink my head, but it took less than six seconds to come out, and the other

students It took me about 30 seconds to hold back. It seems that I have to do my

best.

When I got home, my mother told me that I have to be determined to do

anything. Since I have gone to learn, I must learn it. If some movements are not

in place, I must find a way to practice more. I think what my mother said makes

a lot of sense, so I practiced holding my breath in the washbasin at night. It

lasted for more than 20 seconds at most. It seems that as long as I work hard, I

can do better. If there is a will, things will come true !

Gorky said: "Books are the ladder of human progress!" It is obvious how

important reading is! Reading books allows us to learn a wealth of knowledge,

but also make people progress.

Usually we should read more books, and we must read good books, such as:

science fiction, composition, fairy tales, fables, myths and other useful.

Meaningful book. However, for books like comics, it is best to read less.

"Reading through thousands of books, writing pens is like a god." I think

that reading more is good for writing. When reading, you should accumulate some

good words and good sentences, and then copy them on your notebook. Learn more

about other peoples writing skills. Content, so that when writing, the

accumulated and learned things can come in handy!

Books are our good friends; books are also our good teachers; none of us

leave anyone, book this intimate teacher, this competent teacher!

Many years ago, I saw a science fiction film, which described a future

world. The way people lived was very different. They could drive cars in the

sky. Everything in the future world was so convenient. Since then, I was always

curious about how the future world would become. The fling cars seemed so

ridiculous for now, but thinking about more than 100 years ago, people never

thought about flying in the sky, but now we could take planes and traveled

around the world. Everything was possible. Whats more, the development of

technology is so fast that the world changes so much every ten years. Nowadays,

people can pay the bill online. No matter where they go, a cell phone can solve

most problems. I believe that future transportation will be much efficient and

will surprise us all.

In China, there are four seasons in a year, spring, summer, autumn and

winter. Summer is hot and winter is cold. Spring and autumn are comfortable.

Spring lasts from March to May. Summers goes from June to August. From September

to November is autumn. At last is winter, from December to February. Among the

four seasons in a year, I like winter most.

Youth has been praised by many people. They believe that it is the most

precious time of ones lifetime, because youth stands for young age and energy.

So we should cherish youth and do whatever we like. In my opinion, when we are

young, the first thing we need to do is to fight for our future. So we spend a

lot of time studying and gain much knowledge. The store of knowledge helps us

solve all kinds of problems. When we have enough ability, we are no longer

afraid of meeting difficulties. The second thing we need to do is to broaden our

vision. As we are young and full of energy, it is the best time to see more

scenery. Dont wait for retirement to explore the world. What we see will make

us mature and stronger. Lets enjoy the beautiful youth.

When I got settled, the total use of the microwave to do their ownthings to eat. One day, my father saw me, I am afraid to say that I grew up asa cook. I immediately shaken like a rattle-drum head, you said : "That isnot my ideal. When I grow up I want to IT (information technology) industries."Yes, I bought a computer five years ago after his father, I am familiarwith it day by day. Until last year, and I have formed a deep bond with it.From then on, I want success in the information technology industry to makecontributions to the cause of national computer. But my father said I couldonly do in the field "testing the game," is what the new game, andalways let me play with, the report there will be any games.

In recent days, I sprouted out of a bad idea : I will beplaying the game that the network server to the black. My account will revisethe highest level. However, I Xiangliaoyouxiang, this is wrong, but was caughtby the police network is not good. When hackers but also need high computerskills. As a member of the IT industry is my ideal, I would like to advancethis goal, to improve their computer skills.

Good afternoon， everyone。

The topic of my speech today is “Being a Good Listener”。

Good listening can always show respect， promote understanding， and improve interpersonal relationship。

Many people suggest that parents should listen more to their children， so they will understand them better， and find it easy to narrow the generation gap; teachers should listen more to their students， then they can meet their needs better， and place themselves in a good relationship with their students; students should listen more to their classmates， thus they will help and learn from each other， and a friendship is likely to be formed。

What I want to stress is that each of us should listen to others。 Show your respect and never stop others till they finish their talk; show you are interested by a supportive silence or a knowing smile; be open-minded to different opinions even though you don’t like them。 In a word， good listening can really enable us to get closer to each other。

Thank you for your listening!

Hello! I’m Jessie. I like English very much, because of my English teacher,

Nettie. Today, I’ll introduce her to you.

In my eyes, she’s not a teacher, but a lovely girl and a good friend of

mine. She is not tall. She is thin. She has the long hair. Her face is round.

There are two small eyes on her face. She likes smiling. When she smiles, her

eyes just like the moon at the beginning of the month. I think she is very

beautiful girl.

She’s very kind, like an old friend. She can sing. She can draw. She can

dance. She can speak very good English. She can tell us stories. She can play

games with us. When we have an English lesson, we feel very happy. All of us are

interested in her lesson.

I have a good teacher. I think I’m very lucky.

However mean your life is, meet it and live it; do not shun it and call it

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.

As we all known, the man who wants to be success should have a good

disposition. As the saying goes, “disposition decide to everything.” I remember

a famous motto: there are no two identical people in the world, but the success

people are similar in many ways. Exactly, good disposition is the foundation of

success. From my point of view, I deemed it success should also rely on these

factors: diligent, confident, humor. It can help us to open the door of

success.

There is no denying that diligent is the first step to the success. As the

proverb says, no pains, no gains. Absolutely, guess that a person without

diligent, how can he get achievements. Many successful people have become famous

in the world by their diligent. Therefore we should take diligence as a good

habit rather than lazy at every time.

Edison said “confident is the mother of the success. There is no doubt that

confidence is important to our daily life .If someone without confident, he will

never succeed in the end of his life. If someone trusted himself, he would

gained more chance to succeed. How could you get other’s trust if you didnt

trust yourself?

In addition, humor plays an important role in our life. It’s obvious that a

sense of humor can bring happiness to others and get involved to a group easily.

Just like my friend who is an energetic and lovely boy. The boss and staff like

him very much. Boss thinks highly of him in the company. Sometimes, we should

learn to how express humorously. A sense of humor can create unexpected

result.

From what has been mention above, a good disposition is an important factor

to our success. Therefore, how to develop a good disposition is essential.
