篇1:关于树英语高一
全文共 1329 字
+ 加入清单There was a man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn to not judge
things too quickly. So he sent them each on a quest,in turn,to go and look at a
pear tree that was a great distance away.
The first son went in the winter,the second in the spring,the third in
summer,and the youngest son in the fall.
When they had all gone and come back,he called them together to describe
what they had seen.
The first son said that the tree was ugly,bent,and twisted. The second son
said no - it was covered with green buds and full of promise.
The third son disagreed,he said it was laden with blossoms that smelled so
sweet and looked so beautiful,it was the most graceful thing he had ever
seen.
The last son disagreed with all of them;he said it was ripe and drooping
with fruit,full of life and fulfillment.
The man then explained to his sons that they were all right,because they
had each seen but one season in the tree‘s life. He told them that you cannot
judge a tree,or a person,by only one season,and that the essence of who they are
- and the pleasure,joy,and love that come from that life - can only be measured
at the end,when all the seasons are up.
If you give up when it‘s winter,you will miss the promise of your
spring,the beauty of your summer,fulfillment of your fall. Don’t let the pain of
one season destroy the joy of all the rest.

+ 加入清单Since we went to school, we have been educated to be polite, no matter to
the young or old people. People follow the manner rules and have a nice
communication between each other, but some people ignore the rules and they
treat their rude behaviors as something cool. Today, people advocate the
individuality, so the young generation wants to do something different and catch
peoples attention. For example, they dont care other peoples feeling and
criticize others as they like, or just interrupt when other people is talking,
they just show what they want to say and they believe they are special and cool.
This is very rude behavior that they dont respect others and have the wrong
idea about individuality. We can do something special on the base of respect
others and follow the rules, or we are just the rude people.

篇11:关于戒烟英语
全文共 1113 字
+ 加入清单We can see such signs as “No Smoking” in some public places, which is a
kind of measure taken to ban smoking in public places. However, concerning about
this measures, different people hold divergent opinions. The smokers protest
against that it is a kind of action to deprive of their free right, while the
non-smokers are in favor of banning smoking in public places.
In my opinion, I am inclined to support the latter one—smoking should be
banned in public places. There are reasons accounting for my point. For one
thing, people will be harmed by the second-hand smoking if someone smokes in
public places, especially the infants and children. For another, banning smoking
in public places is also beneficial to the smokers. If they are banned to smoke
in public places, they will restrain themselves from smoking and smoke less. In
the meantime, it is a contribution to reduce the air pollution.
Therefore, I advocate that smoking in public places should be banned so
that we can breathe the fresh air and suffer less from the second-hand smoking.
Let’s work together to create and sustain out green and fresh environment.

篇13:关于梦想英语年级
全文共 1267 字
+ 加入清单When we are children, there are lots of people ask about our dreams, and
our answers most are doctors, policemen, teachers etc. But when we grow up, we
have to face the reality, not everyone would realize childhood dreams, and some
of these dreams even are unrealistic which will never be able to achieve.
Therefore, we need correctly treat the relationship between dream and
reality.
First of all, dream is the spiritual power to encourage people progress.
Napoleon once said: “He is a bad soldier who doesnt dream of becoming a
general”. In the process of growing up, we must want to give up our purpose when
encounter difficulties, and at the moment, dreams would be the power for us to
insist on.
Second, reality is a reflection of the real environment. Many people think
dream is heaven, and reality is hell, but in my opinion, reality is a
double-edged sword which makes us keep a sense of crisis. When young people
addicted to the unpractical dreams, reality would awaken them which would avoid
them make wrong judgment.
In my opinion, both dream and reality are important, young people cant
ignore one of them. The most critical thing in life is using positive attitude
to face the constantly changing society, and strive to cultivate interests,
which will be easier to succeed.

Today, I came to the countryside as a volunteer and went to Grandpa Chens
house.
Grandpa Chens house is not big. When I walked in the door, I saw a dark
and narrow lobby. I knocked on the door and asked politely, "Is Grandpa Chen at
home?"
An old grandmother came out of a room. She greeted me warmly and asked me:
"Little boy, who are you and what are you doing here?" "I am a volunteer to help
Grandpa Chen." "Oh, Grandpa Chen is here. In that small room!" As she spoke, she
pointed to a small room.
I walked to the place where my grandmother pointed, but what I saw was
Grandpa Chen busy in the kitchen, I called out, "Grandpa Chen." Grandpa Chen
turned around and smiled and glanced at me, I found Grandpa Chen As a disabled
person, it was incredible, so he quickly stepped forward and said, "Grandpa
Chen, take a break! Ill help you!" "Youre so sensible, my little one, thank
you, but my body is still very strong." , I am really heartbroken for Grandpa
Chen.
When Grandpa Chen was in the kitchen, I picked up the mop, broom, and
dustpan and started cleaning. Grandpa saw that I was great.

poor or rich, healthy or disabled, as long as they help others, they will be
happy and others will be happy too. Helping others is just a thought. Its
easier said than done. It takes courage and strength to help others,

+ 加入清单Every day, we can see the figures of the volunteers. Actually, they have
formed a kind of scenery of the city. Some people hold that volunteering is
merely a waste of time, because the volunteers have no gains with pains.
However, I believe that doing voluntary is quite rewarding.
In the first place, we can put into practice what we have learnt before,
for instance, when we were asked by a foreigner about the way to some place, we
could practice our oral foreign language, it’s definitely a good opportunity to
express ourselves in a foreign language correctly and clearly.
In the second place, we could make a lot of new friends while we are
volunteering As a proverb says, “At home one relies on one’s parents and outside
on one’s friends”, so it is never a bad thing to have lots of friends.
Finally, helping others is a good way to make you feel happy and when you
help others solve a problem successful, you will feel fulfillment. In this
sense, we reap a bountiful spiritual harvest by doing voluntary work.
On the whole, we can benefit a lot by engaging ourselves in the voluntary
work. Therefore, I suggest those that have abundant spare time registering as
volunteers for the welfare for the public.

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.

because they feel online shopping is so convenient. Some just don’t believe that
they can buy good quality commodities from Internet. As far as I’m concerned, I
think online shopping creates lots of benefits to people.
Firstly, buying things online is a way of saving time. Compared with the
traditional way of shopping, we have no need to go out to pick up our favorite
goods from store to store. Just a click, we can have things in our shopping cart
and just wait for the goods to be delivered to us. To this extent, not only we
can save the time of finding things from store to store but we don’t need to
spend time on transportation. Thus, we can save lots of time to enjoy fun.
Secondly, buying things online can save our money. People buy commodities
by Internet not only because it saves us time, but also, we can save lots of
money. It is often seen that some people just go to the physical store to check
out the commodities they want to buy and then they would search for their
favorite commodities online and take the order. People do this just because they
know that online goods are usually cheaper than the goods displayed in shop
window because online shop have no need to pay the rent. So, people are more
inclined to buying things from online store.
Thirdly, convenience is the last but not least thing of shopping online.
Since we can buy things online, there is no need to go out to look for things we
want to buy. What we need to do is to simply sit before our computer, search for
things we want to buy, click our favorite thing and then pay our order by our
bank card. And then, you just need to wait for your goods to be delivered to
your home.
In conclusion, shopping online is a convenient, time-saving and money
saving way of buying things. Therefore, we can benefit a lot from shopping
online. That’s the reason of why shopping online has developed faster and faster
in recent years.
