英语作文网络的危害汇总20篇

每当夜幕降临的时候，在一桌热气腾腾的晚餐前，在柔美的灯光下，永远照耀着两位“手机控”!他们就是我亲爱的爸爸妈妈。

他们一个个双手紧紧地握住手机，好像它随时自己就会逃跑似的。一双双眼睛死死地盯着手机屏幕，像一个个大大的吸盘，紧紧地吸着屏幕。“妈妈、爸爸，快来吃饭啦!”一个稚嫩的童音传来，那就是我。可是，他们俩只是轻轻地说了一句：“哦。”，微微点了点头，继续干自己的“行当”了。我偷偷躲到他们身后，想好好吓唬他们一下。可是，结果却让人出乎意外，他们竟然一点也不害怕，自顾自地，眼睛目不转睛地盯着手机屏幕，嘴里还不停地念叨：“真好玩，稍微等一下……!”天哪，我的心要彻底奔溃了，爸爸妈妈完全成为一对名副其实的“手机控”啦!

到了晚上，我闭上了眼睛，拼命想着办法，怎样才能让他们改掉坏习惯啊，经过细细思考，我终于想到了治疗他们手机病的妙计!

首先是要他们多看绿色植物，多向远处眺望，多到大自然去踏青，每到周末，我就拉着他们一起去大自然走走看看，呼吸新鲜空气，分散他们对手机的依赖心，让他们渐渐改变这个坏毛病。

其次是要求他们也多阅读，多看书。现在，我和爸爸妈妈在进行一个小竞赛，每个人每看一本书，就把它记录下来，比比看谁看的书数量多，谁输了就要接受小小的惩罚哦。通过这个小竞赛，让我们一家人逐渐养成了爱阅读爱看书的习惯，玩手机的毛病也就甩在一边啦。

还有就是多健身多做眼保健操，“一起健身!一起做眼保健操!锻炼身体排第一!”这句话成为了我们家人的一句口头禅，一有空暇时间，我们就互相监督，互相做健身游戏。通过一段时间的锻炼，爸爸和妈妈

的眼睛也慢慢保护起来了。

现在“低头族”“手机控”和我们全家都说拜拜喽，我可高兴了。我想：我还要继续努力，去积极影响身边的人，让大家远离不健康的生活习惯，更快乐美好地生活!

随着电脑科技的进步与网络的普及，电脑与每个人的关系已越来越密切。

近年来，教育部一直在倡导上网安全的重要性，网际网络虽然方便也可以更快速的查到我们需要的资料，但黑1客、木马、病毒、恶意代号、人为破坏及各式各样的诈骗等威胁资讯安全的因素也不断的出现。我门常会将重要资讯，如个人资料、照片、作业都储存在电脑或是u盘等储存媒体，而这些资料便成为相当重要的资产。很多人都会想：我家的电脑已经安装了防毒软体，应该就没问题了吧！但范围其实相当广，当电脑遭骇克入侵时可能会发生以下几件事情，一但网站洩漏个人或家庭资料。二电脑资料被遗失。三病毒感染。四信用卡遭到刷。

为了保障个人的资产，我们在日常生活中必须作好以下措施：一电脑不用要登出。二密码设定要谨慎。三个人个人资料要备分。四防毒软体要更新等等。希望大家在网络漫游时要小心。

电脑是现代重要的工具，几乎是家家都有一台，已经像电视一样普及了，电脑可以帮助我们完成很多事情，也可以帮我们行销商品，更可以让宅在家里的人不用出门就可以吃到想吃的料理，很多生活琐碎小事，电脑都能协助，可是，电脑虽然进步了，安全问题也跟着产生了，天天有网络的生活，真的要小心谨慎，以免自己使用的权利亮起了红灯。

网络虽然方便，可是有人利用网络的普及而进行科技犯罪，有时候，如果不小心点一下，黑1客可能趁机进入电脑里，盗取帐号让资料外洩，生命财产可能不安全了，网络虽然方便，可是，平常使用电脑就要小心，上网时，不要随意乱点，也不要开启不明网站，网络安全时时小心谨慎，黑1客就别想进入我的电脑里。

电脑方便普及是现代生活重要的工具，使用电脑如何注意安全，掌握在我手中，网络安全小心行，是我使用电脑的原则。

With the development of science and technology, there are more and more new

products appearing in human beings’ life. Cell phone is a good example.

cell phone and then send it to the person they want in a second or just dial

that person’s mobile phone number and then they can talk with each other in a

few second. Secondly, mobile phone can act as a safe guarantee. When people face

for help from friends nearby. And when people worry about another man, they can

call him to make sure whether he is OK or not. Last but not least, mobile phone

contains much interesting entertainment, which can bring lots of happiness to

human beings and make their life more colorful.

Many traditional arts are losing nowadays, because some of them have been

replaced by the new machines and the scientific products. I feel so sorry about

the losing arts, in my opinion, they are so classic and their charm will never

fade away. Take my grandma for example. She is good at paper-cut which was

inherited from her mother. But when comes to my mother’s generation, paper-cut

seems to be kicked out, there are less people need it, so my mother doesn’t

learn this skill. The paper-cut art is losing in my family. When I found my

grandma had this skill, I was so surprised and curious about it. I asked my

grandma to teach me this skill. During the process, I found this art was so

great, I was attracted by it. Some traditional arts like paper-cup should be

kept.

senior school teachers and former classmates(老同学). Besides, to find out the best

ways to cultivate my abilities, I will find a part time job and conduct some

I do, the goal is the same: to get necessary experience, acquire knowledge and

broaden my horizons. Though the six week vacation will pass away at lightning

speed, its influence is bound to last long.

怎么办啊?到底是 让还是不让?我想，身为一个少先队员，如果我不让的话，那又怎么对得起我胸前的红领巾呢?不能再想了，我一定要让。于是，我站起来，说：“爷爷，您来坐吧!”只见爷爷笑了笑，然后慢慢地坐下，并对我说：“真是好孩子!”我听了以后，心里也乐了，因为我做到了。

虽然我失去了一个供我休息的座位，但是，我却得到了表扬的话语和愉快的心情，这是多么快乐呀!

尊老爱幼是我们中华民族的传统美德，我们一定要让这种精神继续发扬光大!

遵守交通规则Obeying the Traffic Laws

I am often very afraid to cross-large wide streets. I always go to the traffic light and use the crosswalk, but many times I have been frightened. When the light changes to green I still need to look both directions to check the traffic. On many occasions a speeding motorcycle or bicycle or once a truck drove past the red light and across the pedestrians path. When I have my bicycle, I get off and walk across the street, but always someone crosses the red light. Once at the intersection near the shopping mall I saw an accident: a taxi had stopped for the light, and another truck came from behind and did not stop. For safety, it is very important for everyone to obey the traffic laws.

翻译：

横过大宽马路时，我常会害怕。我总是看着信号灯，走人行横道。仅管这样，我还是被吓着了几次。当信号灯换成绿灯时，我还是要朝两边看一下。很多时候，超速行驶的摩托车或自行车甚至是卡车，都闯红灯穿过人行横道。当我骑车时,我就会下来,推着车子步行过马路, 但总有人闯红灯。一次，在靠近购物广场的那个十字路口，我见到了一起交通事故：一辆出租车停在那儿等红灯，但是它后面的卡车没停。所以，从安全计，每个人都遵守交通规则是很重要的。

零零后的我有许多爱好，但最钟爱的就是上网了。

网络赋予了我很多，他让我在游戏的海洋里遨游，他带着我领略各地风光，让我坐在家里就能看世界。他陪我哭过，陪我疯过，陪我笑过。周末是快乐的，可是一看到那么多作业就感到乏味。报纸，讲义，都乖乖的躺在书桌上等着本小姐去做它，唉，看着就愁啊，可真是题海无边，做完无岸啊!亲，伤感情啊!

“乖乖，自己在这呆着吧，本小姐要去上网了。”我一边朝着那可怜巴巴的作业道别，一边朝这电脑走去，啊!心里甭提多高兴啦。依旧是老样子，连接电源，打开主机……动作甭提多娴熟了，也许上网已经成了我生活中的一部分了。啊!上网的感觉就是爽啊，忘掉了所有的作业，真是一身轻松啊!真是得到了大解放啊!

就这样，在我压力山大的时候，网络帮我“解了围”。但是可不能太贪恋，还得马上乖乖回来写做作业，俺是好学生呢!“我的天啊，这题也忒变态了吧，什么意思嘛?哎，伤脑筋啊!”自己坐在桌前自言自语，“如果写不完的话，明天可要面对的是数学老师的枪林弹雨啊!”咦，夏安安，你怎么这么笨啊，你可以用电脑百度嘛，一想到这里，自己又精神抖擞了，赶紧开机，搜索答案。

耶!有了有了。可不能直接抄，上面可是有详细的分析呢，赶紧先看会了，自己再做。哈哈，真是天生我才必有用啊!网络时代就是好，百度一下，想干嘛就干嘛，哈哈，网络，谢谢你了又帮了我一次啊!网络不仅充实了我的生活，而且在我的学习上也帮了我很多忙。

网络，谢谢你，因为有你，世界才变得更美好!!

在当今社会大家都喜欢玩电脑！这是众人皆知的事情！可是电脑对我们的危害，又有几个人得知呢！就算得知了可是实际行动呢？那么，电脑游戏对于我们中小学生而言，有哪些害处呢？

首先，玩电脑游戏，是需要时间的，如果玩电脑游戏的时间过多的话，那么，我们用来学习的时间就必然会大大地减少，除非是不用学习一看就会的天才，就我们这些普通人而言，学习成绩不下降才怪呢！

其次，玩电脑游戏，尤其是长时间地玩，十分有害我们青少年们的视力和健康，当你沉迷在电脑游戏带给你的快乐中时，你的视力也在不知不觉中一天天地衰退，等你最后醒悟时，已经为时晚矣！可能还要搭上你曾经拥有过的健康身体。

第三，玩电脑游戏，十分地浪费金钱，作为中小学生的我们，其零花钱，主要依赖于我们的父母大人所赐，试想一下，有哪一位父母，很爽快地给钱让我们去上网玩游戏，所以，为了能够进网吧上网玩电脑游戏，我们必然会巧立名目向我们的父母索取，要不然就东拼西凑，挖空心思地弄钱，哪里还有心思学习，有的同学甚至因此而走上了犯罪的不归路，这又是何苦来着？

第四，玩电脑游戏，可能会污染我们青少年纯洁而美好的心灵。因为，许多的电脑游戏，都是打呀、杀呀的，为了达到目的，可以不择手段，试想，这与培育我们高尚的情操简直就是南辕北辙、背道而驰。而一个品德、素质低下的人，又如何能够作为一名优秀的人才，从而担负起社会赋予他（或她）的重大责任呢？

电脑游戏还有很多的危害，我就不再一一列举了。

也许有的人可能会不服气，你说了那么多电脑游戏的害处，难道电脑游戏就没有一点益处了吗？起码玩电脑游戏可以锻炼、提高我们的反应能力和手脑的快速配合能力，可以帮助我们了解电脑、认识电脑、学习电脑，可以使我们在紧张的学习中得到放松，可以使我们得到在现实中我们得不到的荣誉等等，好处还是很多的嘛！何况，很多的大人不是照样沉迷在电脑游戏中吗？

玩电脑游戏，也许的的确确有这样、那样的一些好处，但是，利弊权衡起来，我认为，玩电脑游戏，弊远远大于利，所以，我仍然坚信，为了我们自己的将来，同学们，请远离电脑游戏吧！

At present, many teenagers smoke. I dont think its a good phenomenon. It

must be stopped, for smoking is harmful in many ways.

First, smoking is bad for our health. As we start smoking, its so

difficult to give up, because the tobacco contains a drug called nicotine, which

can get us into the habit of smoking. When we go without nicotine, our bodies

will feel sick.

Second, smoking is so dangerous. When we smoke in bed, we may kill

ourselves as well as burn down our houses, for burning cigarette ends may cause

a big fire. And if we threw the cigarette ends anywhere, it would also cause a

fire disaster.

Furthermore, once we smoke in public, we may make other people feel

uncomfortable as well.

Accordingly, for the sake of your and others’ health, please dont

smoke.

My mother is a woman of the old school. She is too conservative to keep up

(her) house neat and clean and looks after us with extreme care . She often says

to us, “You cannot study too hard.”

Nowadays,there is a increasing number for people to join in the activities

of volunteering.Its well-known that volunteering job is making contribution to

the society with nothing in return.Its like the Leifeng spirit.However,knowing

this,there are still many people would like to devote themseves in this

trend.For instance,the 20__ Beijing Olympic Games has so many volunteers.They

made lots of contribution to the success of opening the Olympics.Moreover,we can

often see that there many students go to geroium to visit the old to bring warm

to the lonely people.Even there are some peoples career is volunteer.They are

ready to help others.Although the volunteers are much more mon,we still need to

thanks them to admire them devoting themseves to the society.

如今，有越来越多的人加入到志愿服务行业。众所周知，志愿者工作是对社会的无私贡献。就像雷锋精神一样。然而，虽然意识到这一点但还是有很多人愿意奉献于这个行业。例如，20__年北京奥运会有这么多的志愿者。他们为奥运会的成功举行做了很多的贡献。此外，我们经常能够看到，有很多学生去敬老院看望老人给他们带去温暖。甚至有些人的职业就是志愿者。他们时刻准备好去帮忙别人。虽然志愿者是越来越常见了，但我们仍然要感谢他们钦佩他们为社会奉献自我。

My sister was fond of traveling. Ever since graduating, she had been

determined to organize a trip to an old temple. Since transporting fare was

expensive, she decided to use a bicycle to cycle there not caring about the

disadvantages. Her stubborn attitude was always her shortcoming. Once she made

up her mind to do something, no one could persuade her to change her mind.

Finally, we gave in as usual though we preferred to take a train. After we

prepared everything, including the schedule, reliable weather forecast and the

insurance, we began our trip.

Our journey was along a river flowing from a high altitude. Our pace was

slow because the river frequently had many sharp bends through deep valleys,

where the water seemed to boil. Just as I recorded in my journal, it was really

a hard journey. But we also enjoyed great views. One night, I put my head on my

pillow--a parcel of wool coats, and lay beneath the stars. When the flame in

front of our cave went out at midnight, I found the sky so beautiful!
