That day, my sister, he and me went to the swimming pool near my home and i bought the tickets. My sister, my cousin and i, then, made for the changeroom. When we got to the door, he stopped and was hesitant,murmuring,"i am not entering it,its for girls." All of a sudden, my sister and i bursted into laughter. So, i had to give his swimsuit to him. He ran for the mens and stopped outside. After looking into the room for a moment, he walked in it. A while later, when we two girls were finished, he was waiting for us outside.

There he sat, staring out the window with his dazed eyes. His face is almost like a scrunched piece of pa-pe-r with wrinkles carved deep into his skin. His caving mouth can hardly close nowadays and there is often a trickle of saliva wandering aimlessly down the side of his chin.Strands of thin, grey hair crawls messily over his almost bald head.And the once deep blue eyes are now covered with a layer of opaque white.What he sees is no longer clear, but they are all the same beautiful. The blurred window sills and the distance skyscrapers,all present him with a new beauty that he never appreciated when he was young.Age is cruel.However, what to the outside world may seem like an old man in despair is to him only a way of peaceful life.

篇14:中国人口英语作文

全文共 3827 字

人口问题是当今世界上最大的问题之一,中国是世界上人口最多的国家,如果人口增长过快,将会带来许多严重问题,我们应控制人口增长。

China has a huge population, so the population of china will be very hard to control. Many specialists to solve this problem, but no one have a good

way to solve. Now, the population of china have about 1.3 billion population, and land holdings per head average only 0.82 hectares, also the plough holdings per head average only 0.106 hectares. It take up 43% of the world, so that means the resource of our country is very less now, and didnt surpass the half percentage of the world.

In this article, I will show you some information about the Chinese population policy.

The history of Chinese policy

Start with 1949, china was liberate. The leader of china Mao Zedong was make a policy which is encourage people to bear, because the Mao think a strong country need a huge population. So, in that time if a woman burn many children, then the woman will called “hero woman”.

And many people were born, that is why the population of china were very huge new.

In 1978, the family plan were start to use, because the population of china is too huge, and need some policy to control it. So Chinese government was start to use the family planning to control, that is the most useful way to control, they do many thing like welfare to the Chinese people.

At that time, many of the population were like thispolicy, because they can get much benefit from this event.

I have seen some poster of the family planning in 1978, and I think it is fool the common people in that time. So I always pity for all elderly Chinese

people, and my parent tell me it was very cruel that time. When you born more than one child, you will have much and much punishment from the government, like to injure your house, increase your tax levy, but not cruel as kill you, so Chinese is very kind that time!

Now, the government have been thinking the problem of the population, some peoplesay that we have been keeping the family planning, and other people think we have to stop the family, so it have two choose of family planning, each of it will have a big change in china.

Family planning

Family planning is a kind of population policy in the world which is very common, many country were use this policy to control the population, because it is very easy to use, and very convenient to manage the population. Also is very low-cost to use.

But it have some bad way, like it will have a big problem called aging of population, it made the many young peoples burden very huge, very hard to care two parent or more.

Conclude, family planning isnt the best way to control the population, and it can bring many problem to the country. But we cant find another way to control the population, so we just can use this policy.

The policy of population now

One Chinese leader of family planning department said that we have to keep going for family planning forever, and china need much and much strict family planning to control our population.

Then many specialist to publish their own idea of family planning, all of

ideas were talk about to weaken or stop the family planning, and give some advice of population. Here I would like introduce some specialist ideas.

Chinese population is very large now, if we stop growing immediately, it will have a big problem call aging of population. If this problem happen, the young people will be very hard to provide their family.

Population will be stop growing to 1.8 milliard if we dont do anything, so that is a good way to control the population and dont have much shortcoming. It can be a better way to control the population, isnt it

If we still using the policy of family planning, it will have a large population decrease, and will have aneffect of many thing. Productivity of china will be less, and manpower resource will be less too.

This is all my thinking

篇20:英语介绍樱花

全文共 3231 字

Sakura is the Japanese name for ornamental cherry trees, Prunus serrulata, and their blossoms. Cherry fruit (known as sakuranbo) come from a different species of tree.

Sakura, a well-known and ubiquitous symbol of Japan, are represented on all manner of consumer goods, including kimono, stationery, and dishware. Cherry blossoms are an enduring metaphor for the ephemeral nature of life, and as such are frequently depicted in art. There is at least one popular folk song, originally meant for the shakuhachi (bamboo flute), titled "Sakura", as well as a number of pop songs. "Sakura" is also a common Japanese female name.

Sakura is indigenous to the Himalayas and east Asia. Some trees can be found in China and Korea but the largest number and variety of sakura, more than 305 species, can be seen in Japan. Many of them were artificially hybridized or grafted by the Japanese many centuries ago.

"On the other hand, in China, cherry blossom is the symbol of feminine dominance, female beauty and sexuality. Additionally, the cherry blossom is the Chinese symbol of feminine principle and it also symbolizes love in the language of herbs. Interestingly, cherry blossom is the flower of the April in China, whereas in Japan, it is wisteria." Spring flowers of Japan

Japans most beloved variety is the Somei Yoshino. Its flowers are nearly pure white, tinged with the palest pink, especially near the stem. The flowers bloom, and usually fall within a week, before the leaves come out. Therefore, the trees look nearly white from top to bottom. The variety takes its name from the village of Somei (now part of Toshima in Tokyo). It was developed in the mid- to late-19th century at the end of the Edo period and the beginning of the Meiji period. The Somei Yoshino is so widely associated with cherry blossoms that jidaigeki and other works of fiction often depict the variety in the Edo period or earlier; such depictions are anachronisms.

Other categories include yamazakura, yaezakura, and shidarezakura. The yaezakura have large flowers, thick with rich pink petals. The shidarezakura, or weeping cherry, has branches that fall like those of a weeping willow, bearing cascades of pink flowers.

Annually, the Japanese Meteorological Agency and general public track the sakura zensen, or Cherry-Blossom Front. Nightly forecasts follow the weather segment of news programs. The blossoming begins in Okinawa in January, and typically reaches Kyoto and Tokyo at the end of March or the beginning of April. Then it proceeds north, arriving in Hokkaidō a few weeks later. Japanese pay close attention to these forecasts. They will go to parks, shrines and temples with family and friends and hold a "flower viewing party" known as hanami. Hanami festivals celebrate the beauty of sakura, and for many, it is a chance to relax and enjoy the beautiful view. Hanami custom in Japan dates back to many centuries ago. It is witten in Nihon Shoki that the Hanami festival were already held in the 3rd century.

Most Japanese schools and public buildings have sakura trees outside of them. Since the fiscal and school year both begin in April, in many parts of Honshū, the first day of work or school will coincide with the cherry blossom season.
