When I watch the TV series, there always present the rich familys life,

but I dont feel envious about the rich life. It is obvious that though these

people live the better life, the cost is that their parents spend less time to

play with them. The time to stay with our parents is really important, while the

rich parents have much work to do, so they dont have much private hours. I was

born in an ordinary family. My parents will never miss the moment when I need

them. I am so thankful to life, because I have my parents love. Whats more, I

have made many good friends. We share our interest and have a lot in common.

时间过得真快,一眨眼,快乐的寒假生活即将结束,回顾整个寒假,我觉得我过得充实而又快乐。

刚放寒假不久,我们全家来了一次大扫除,那天一大早,我们就开始分工:爸爸擦柜子,妈妈擦地板,我擦玻璃。

说行动就行动,我先拿报纸将玻璃仔细地擦了一遍,然后找来了“好帮手”“一擦净”。我把里面的两块海棉弄湿,将“一擦净”的一半放在里面,另一半放在外面,紧贴着玻璃,“啪”吸胶吸住了,我用线牵住外面的一半,然后有顺序地一上一下移动。我一口气擦了

五扇窗,擦过的窗户干净极了,甚至让爸爸看外面时,撞起了一个包。

为了奖励我,爸爸答应去钓鱼的时候也带上我,但前提是我不能发出声音。我连连答应。几天后,爸爸带我来到野外的一个大池塘,拿出钓鱼竿,帮我放上蚯蚓,我选了一个地方,把它甩下去,然后静静地等着鱼上钩。等了半天,一点动静也没有,我几乎想扔下钓鱼竿去玩了,可一看爸爸的桶里已经有好几条鱼了,又不甘心输给他,就只好拿着鱼竿干等,眼睛直勾勾的盯着浮标,忽然浮标微微颤动了一下,我揉揉眼睛,它又动了一下,我确信鱼上钩,就一把将鱼竿提起,哈哈,一条大鱼,我朝爸爸昂了昂头,爸爸也用惊讶的目光看着我,我真是太开心了!

有了一个好的开头,我自信了,不再轻易想放弃了。于是,幸运女神降临到了我头上,大鱼小鱼都来吃鱼饵,我来了一次大丰收。回到家,爸爸妈妈都不得不向我竖起大拇指,我也好佩服自己。

对了,你的寒假过得怎么样,是不是也像我一样充实而又快乐呢?

Brother threw a transmitter, it hasnt fry, Ill shoot it into space "bang", almost as bright as day. We play again after a butterfly...

Everything passed will have feelings, and my feeling is: although had a great winter vacation, but also always remember learning, learning is the main, other are minor, the new semester will start again, so cant play now, at any time to meet new challenges.

日月如梭,岁月如流。转眼间,寒假过去了,新的学期要开始了。在这段时间里,我经过许多事:有喜,有怒,有哀,有乐。但是,最值得怀念的就是和弟在一起的日子。

那是春节的一个晚上,我和弟正玩着电脑。突然,阿姨跑过来说:“放烟花了,你们快点下去抢烟花。”她说完,我们马上就跑下去,弟拿了两根香,点着了。他给了我一根,然后,我们冲到装烟花的箱子前面,每人拿了一个后,“拔腿就跑”。拿到一个空地点燃了。“嗖”的一声飞到天上“砰”,漂亮极了。后来,我们去拿了“军火”玩,它的名字叫雷王。我用香一点,然后一扔,“砰”的一声,邻居的车全响了。弟扔到一个发射器里,它还没炸,我就把它射到太空中“砰”,几乎跟白天一样明亮。之后我们又玩了蝴蝶飞舞……

凡事经过了就会有感受,而我的感受是:虽然寒假玩得很爽,但是也要时刻记着学习,学习才是主要的,其它都是次要的,新的学期又将要开始,所以现在不能玩了,随时迎接新的挑战。

Recently, a popularserioushot topic es into the eyes of our universal

bodies as the cartoon depicts。 From the picture, we can see that a middle-age

housewife, perplexed and terrified, is picking out her daily diet from a pile of

undesirable things, such as illegal-cooking oil, fruits with excessive pesticide

and the like.

It seems that there are many factors can be mentioned and accounted for

this kind of case, and in my perspective, the followings are the obvious and

have a far-fetching influence. On the one hand, the merchants in an increasing

number are aiming at maximizing their profits with the minimal principal in the

wider ranges of petitive and more open social background。 On the other hand, it

is the inplete system of law that has less supervision of the producing and

processing of modities.

Considering all the points discussed, it is highly sensible that we should

take prompt measures to resolve this problem. In the first place, more bettering

policies should be brought forward.In the second,more moral schooling should be

applied in all munities。 Only by enforcing these measures, can we effectively,

efficiently, and eventually solve the problem.

they would have their brilliant future. What a great loss to our nation! I had

Its so convenient and interesting to join a tourist group. When you travel

with a tourist group, you don’t need to book plane and train tickets, and you

dont have to care about where to live and what to eat either, because the

travel agency will arrange everything for you. All you need to do is to follow

the tour guides. They will take you to all the places of interest. They will

tell you stories about the interesting places and help you to learn local

culture. This is called a package tour.

A cruise trip is so comfortable and relaxing. You travel on a large sea

cruiser and enjoy the beautiful scenery. When you come up to a nice place, you

can get off the cruiser and visit there. When you are on board, you can lie on

the deck, watching the blue sky, the white cloud and the bright sun, and you

will be free from stress. Besides, there are so many nice activities on the

cruise. For example, you can watch movies; you can see concerts; you can go

swimming in the swimming pool; you can play cards; you can play golf; you can

travel for budget travelers, but also a nice entertainment. When you have a

backpacking tour, you can use public transportations like buses and subways and

this kind of travel is especially popular with young people, because they can

discover the interesting places and know more about the local cultures by

themselves. Its so exciting.

If you want to have a better understanding of a place, you can have a slow

travel. When you have a slow travel, you had better spend at least one week

living in one place, stay with a local family and visit interesting sites near

your living instead of rushing around for a long day to see the must-sees. In

this way, you can make more local friends, taste local food, and know the local

traditions and customs deeper. Only so can you become more knowledgeable and

widen your experience.

It depends on your need to choose the way you want to travel.

篇20:2024中学生寒假《傲慢与偏见》英语读后感

全文共 3096 字

Many people simply regard Pride and Prejudice as a love story, but in my opinion, this book is an illustration of the society at that time. She perfectly reflected the relation between money and marriage at her time and gave the people in her works vivid characters.

许多人认为这只是一个爱情故事傲慢与偏见,但在我看来,这本书是对当时社会的例证。她完美地体现了金钱与婚姻关系时,给她的时间在她的作品生动的人物形象的人。

The characters have their own personalities. Mrs. Bennet is a woman who makes great efforts to marry off her daughters. Mr. Bingley is a friendly young man, but his friend, Mr. Darcy, is a very proud man who seems to always feel superior. Even the five daughters in Bennet family are very different. Jane is simple, innocent and never speaks evil of others. Elizabeth is a clever girl who always has her own opinion. Mary likes reading classic books. (Actually she is a pedant.) Kitty doesn’t have her own opinion but likes to follow her sister, Lydia. Lydia is a girl who follows exotic things, handsome man, and is somehow a little profligate. When I read the book, I can always find the same personalities in the society now. That is why I think this book is indeed the representative of the society in Britain in the 18th century.

书中的人物有自己的个性。班纳特太太是一个女人谁使大力女儿嫁出去。彬格莱先生是位很友好的年轻人,但他的朋友,达西先生,是一个非常骄傲的人谁似乎总是感觉优越。即使是班纳特家的五个女儿有很大的不同。简是简单,天真,从不说别人的恶。伊丽莎白是一个聪明的女孩谁总是有她自己的意见。玛丽喜欢阅读古典书籍。 (其实她是一个学究。)小鹰没有她自己的意见,而是喜欢跟她的妹妹,莉迪亚。莉迪亚是一个女孩谁如下异国情调的东西,英俊的男子,并在某种程度上有点挥霍。当我读的书,我总能在社会上找到相同的人物了。这就是为什么我觉得这本书确实是在英国社会在18世纪的代表。

The family of gentleman in the countryside is Jane Austen’s favourite topic. But this little topic can reflect big problems. It concludes the stratum situation and economic relationships in Britain in her century. You can find these from the very beginning of this book.

The first sentence in this book is impressive. It reads: “It is a truth well known to all the world that an unmarried man in possession of a large fortune must be in need of a wife”. The undertone is very clear: the foundation of the marriage at that time is not emotion but possession.

在农村家庭是简奥斯汀先生最喜欢的话题。但是,这个小问题都可以反映大的问题。它总结了地层情况和英国的经济关系,她的世纪。你可以找到从一开始这本书。

在这本书的第一句话让人印象深刻。它写道:“这是众所周知的,在世界上的一大笔财富占有未婚男子必须在妻子需要一个真相“。该底色是非常明确的:当时的婚姻的基础是感情,但不占有。

People always think that Austen was an expert at telling love stories. In fact, the marriage in her book is not the result of love, but the result of economic needs. After reading this book, I know the truth is that a poor woman must be in need of a husband, a wealthy man.

I couldn’t forget how eager Mrs. Bennet wants to marry off her daughters. If you want to know why she is so crazy about these things, I must mention the situation in Britain at that time. Only the eldest son had the privilege of inheriting his father’s possessions. Younger sons and daughters who are used to luxurious lives have no choice but marry a man or woman in possession of a large fortune to continue their comfortable lives. Thus, we can see that getting married is a way to become wealthier, particularly for women without many possessions. Jane Austen told us that money and possession determined everything, including marriage and love in her century.
