+ 加入清单The Dragon Boat Festival is a lunar (阴历)holiday, occurring (存正)on the fifth
day of the fifth lunar month (农历史五月第五天). Dragon Boat Festival is my favourite
festival.During the holiday of Dragon Boat Festival,I got together with my
family to have a big meal.We ofen ate the zongzi.It tasted very nice.And we saw
the Dragon Boat Races.I felt excited because the race was bustling with noise
and excitement.At Dragon Boat Festival,we also drank realgar wine.Some people
thought drank realgar wine can protect themselves from illness.Dragon Boat
Festival was interesting and I like it very much.
The Chinese Dragon Boat Festival is a significant (有意义的)holiday celebrated
(庆祝)in China, and the one with the longest history (历史最悠久). The Dragon Boat
Festival is celebrated by boat races (龙舟赛) in the shape of dragons. Competing
teams (竞争团队) row their boats forward to a drumbeat (击古)racing to reach the
finish end first.
The boat races during the Dragon Boat Festival are traditional customs
(传统习俗)to attempts to (试图)rescue (搭救) the patriotic poet (爱国诗人)Chu Yuan. Chu Yuan
drowned (溺死) on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month in 277 B.C. Chinese
citizens now throw bamboo leaves (竹叶) filled with cooked rice into the
water.
Therefore the fish could eat the rice rather than the hero poet. This later
on turned into the custom of eating tzungtzu and rice dumplings(棕子).
The celebrations is a time for protection (防护) from evil (邪恶) and disease
(疾病) for the rest of the year. It is done so by different practices such as
hanging healthy herbs on the front door, drinking nutritious concoctions (营养品),
and displaying (展示) portraits (画像) of evils nemesis(邪恶报应), Chung Kuei. If one
manages to (成功做...) stand (直立)an egg on its end at exactly 12:00 noon, the
following year will be a lucky one.
Today, people eat bamboo-wrapped steamed glutinous(粘的) rice dumplings
called zongzi (the food originally intended to feed the fish) and race dragon
boats in memory of Qus dramatic death.

+ 加入清单Nowadays, the problem of college students employment becoming more and
more serious. About a decade ago, university students could find satisfactory
and enviable jobs after graduation, while at current situation, about 30% of
graduate students can’t find a job but stay at home after graduation.
Employment difficulty of college students is due to the following reasons.
Among these, the increasing recruitment of colleges and universities plays a
vital role. In addition, many colleges and universities fail to adapt their
courses to the development of economy.
Considering such a rough job market, I think it is high time that we took
effective measures to solve the problem. Above all, college students should
realize their own defects and further improve themselves to keep their
competitive edge in society.
Moreover, colleges or universities should provide more trainings and
internship opportunities before the students enter the society. Besides, college
students should hold a right attitude towards jobs and set their job
expectations at a suitable level.
Only through these ways can the college students find a satisfactory job
and have a brighter future.

篇3:有关坚持英语初一
全文共 1550 字
+ 加入清单Behind every great achievement in anyones life lies perseverance. We see
this in every human endeavor. Outstanding sportsmen spend all their time
practising. Their endurance is beyond imagination.
The same is true of businessmen who build up fortunes. What we usually see
are their achievements, but once we go behind the scenes we will find that they
have put in a lot of continual steady efforts. We all have read of great
musicians, writers and inventors who have created or discovered breakthroughs in
human achievement. Invariably they have said that they owe all their success to
perseverance. As to college students, quite a big number of then, have become
successful language learners through perseverance, however, a certain group of
them, just stop half way and their previous efforts turn out to be
fruitless.
Of all the countless examples the saga of Colonel Saunders is perhaps one
of the most outstanding. The 65-year-old man from Kentucky had a dream to start
a chain of fried chicken restaurants all over the world. To realize his dream,
he knew that he needed a restaurant owner to go into partnership with him to
open the first restaurant and to fry chicken according to the secret recipe he
had. Colonel Saunders had knocked on 1008 doors before he finally found his
partner. It is doubtful whether many of us would have had the perseverance to
knock even a hundred doors.
From the above discussion we can draw a conclusion that success comes to
anyone who keeps working perseveringly and lack of perseverance can only result
in frustration and failure.

or family if I ever was lonely, needed advice, or just wanted to talk.

Because of the outbreak of this new coronavirus in Wuhan, we cant play

昨天晚上妈妈给我讲了这个新型冠状病毒的`绘本,从里面我知道了这个病毒本来是长在野生动物身上的,但是因为有些人吃野生动物,捕杀野生动物,使这个新型冠状病毒跑到我们人类身上安家落户了。虽然这个病毒很危险,但是人们还是有办法对付它的,尤其是那些医生们很努力地在治疗被感染的病人们,有的病人已经康复出院了。我和外公、外婆、爸爸、妈妈、弟弟都待在家里,不敢出门,如果有人要出去买菜,我一定会提醒他:“别忘了带上口罩!”

篇9:关于低碳生活英语
全文共 1072 字
+ 加入清单With the spread of the consciousness of environmental protection, the word
“low-carbon” has been very popular in life. We can find it in many aspects, such
as low-carbon products, low-carbon consumption, and low-carbon travel and so on.
Generally speaking, more and more people are advocating “low-carbon”
lifestyle.
As implied in the name, “low-carbon” lifestyle is a kind of new pattern of
lifestyle which aims to lowering the carbon dioxide emission in living as much
as possible. For example, some office workers are not proud of driving private
cars from work to home any more but pride themselves on riding or taking public
transportation. In addition, they advocate recycling water and saving energy as
much as they can.
As college students, we also make some contribution in our daily life to
reduce the emission of the carbon dioxide. For example, switch off the light
when leaving and save water. In addition, we should use our knowledge and action
to arouse others’ concern about the importance of lowering emission of carbon
dioxide and lead them to lead a “low-carbon” life.
篇10:关于光盘行动英语

+ 加入清单On January, 2013, the public started a campaign called Clean Your Plate. This campaign aims to call on people to save food instead of wasting anything on the plates. The main theme of this activity is do not waste any food, starting with me. This campaign was first started from Sina weibo. Just a few days, tens of thousands people in China have joined in this meaningful activity.
In my humble opinion, everybody should join in this campaign. As we all know, the Chinese traditional virtue is to be thrifty even we are live in a better life. According to the latest survey, more than 50 million tons of food is being dumped in China every year. This wasted food can feed about 200 million people for a year. The old generation usually appreciates the leftover, if there is any food in the plate, they will eat them up; while the younger generation will dump the leftovers into the dustbin, they rather spend the money on other food instead of eating leftovers. I think such behavior is not only waste of food and money, but also broadcast the wrong idea that wasting food is acceptable. People should come to realize the importance of saving food. The governments should also take measures to reduce food wastage and encourage people to eat at home. What’s more, people should put an end to the expensive feasts and banquets.
I think this campaign should be moving on. Saving food for our offspring is everybody’s responsibility. Even if you’re a wealthy man, you still need to eat up the food on your plate. Waste is not a good habit.

shopping which is getting more and more popular. Many citizens are likely to
shop through internet nowadays.
Generally speaking, shopping online offers lots of advantages with its
convenience the most prominent. There are many commodities on the internet where
you can search whatever you want. Besides, you just click the mouse can you get
all information you want, so that you don’t have to go to the shop personally.
In addtition, the commodities on the Internet is usually cheaper than the stores
which can save much money.
However, everything has two sides. You can not see the products or check
their qualities and some of the sellers on the Internet is not so honest. And,
for those who enjoys shopping around different stores, shopping online perhaps
will make them bored.
In my opinion, shopping online has more advantages than disadvantages, and
with the improvement of e-commerce, there will be more people to shop on the
Internet.

+ 加入清单Before Chinese students go to college, they have been told about the great
things on campus life all the time, so they have the motivation to study hard.
When they come to university, they begin to slow down their pace to study and
waste their youth.
Nowadays, a lot of college students lose motivation to move on when they
come to the new chapter of their life. Campus life seems to be relaxed and a
place to free themselves. Without the supervision from parents and teachers,
they choose to lose themselves in the computer games or all kinds of
parties.
So someone made the comment on campus life as the nursing house, which
satirized the students who wasted their precious time and youth to accomplish
nothing. It is the important stage for them to learn professional knowledge and
master skills, so as to be competitive and find their own place in the
world.
For a wise student, they make the plans and improve themselves all the
time. If we live the life as the old people in the nursing house, then it is
kind of committing suicide for a young person.

+ 加入清单An essential quality for young people is diligence.Nowdays,the issue on the
most important personal quality of young people is highly debatable,and ideas
vary from peerson to person. Some would claim that confidence is the most
essential. But for my part,the most essential quality for young people is
diligence that helps us a lot.
Diligence enables us to academic results. As we all know,academic results
requires lots of researches. An ancient calligraphy,named Wang Xizhi,devoted
lots of his time practicing writing. As is known to us all,he dried his pool
with his writing brush day after day. Though diligence,he became the greatest
calligraphy,finally.
Deligence helps us to achieve better scores in school. Last semester,one of
my fellow students failed to pass the Listening cours. In fact, questions set in
that paper were not very difficultt. If she had spent a little more time
listening rather than watching TV at her dorm,she could have passed the exam. On
the other hand,one of my roomates worked hard every day and got a high
score.
Diligence provides us more chancs to be succeed. As the saying goes “The
early bird catch the worm”. A diligent man may get up early and have more time
to improve himself. And that is the key to be succeed. If
we spend some time observing people around us,we can easily find some
people,just like Li Jiachen,are diligence and successful.
All in all,as a young people,once we have cultivated the essential quality
of diligence,we can achieve academic achievements,get a high score and have more
chances to be succeed. Once we have this essential quality:diligence,it do helps
us a lot in many ways.
篇20:关于水果英语作文初4
全文共 1949 字
+ 加入清单Of the fruits of the year I give my vote to the orange. In the first place
it is a perennial--if not in actual fact, at least in the greengrocer’s shop. On
the days when dessert is a name given to a handful of chocolates and a little
preserved ginger, when macédoine de fruits is the title bestowed on some raisins
and two prunes, then the orange, however sour, comes nobly to the rescue; and on
those other days of plenty when cherries and strawberries and kiwi-fruits riot
together upon the table, the orange, sweeter than ever, is still there to hold
its own. Bread and rice, beef and mutton, eggs and milk, are not more necessary
to an ordered existence than the orange.
It is well that the commonest fruit should be also the best. Of the virtues
of the orange I have not room fully to speak. It has properties of health
giving, as it cures influenza and establishes the complexion. It is clean, for
whoever handles it on its way to your table but handles its outer covering, its
top coat, which is left in the hall. It is round, and forms an excellent
substitute with the young for a tiny football. The pips can be flicked at your
enemies, and quite a small piece of peel makes a slide for an old gentleman.
But all this would count nothing had not the orange such delightful
qualities of taste. I dare not let myself go upon this subject. I am a slave to
its sweetness.
Yet with the orange we go live year in and year out. That speaks well for
the orange. The fact is that there is an honesty about the orange which appeals
to all of us. If it is going to be bad--for the best of us are bad sometimes--it
begins to be bad from the outside, not from the inside. How many a pear which
presents a blooming face to the world is rotten at the core. How many an
innocent-looking apple, is harboring a worm in the bud. But the orange has no
secret faults. Its outside is a mirror of its inside, and if you are quick you
can tell the shopman so before he slips it into the bag.
