Recently, the topic of air pollution has again aroused more and more attention since pollution haze, a kind of weather, has appeared increasing frequently in our cities. Just as the picture showed, when pollution haze comes, the whole city was covered with suspended particles which can breath into our body causing heavy problem to our health.
Due to the bad effect from pollution haze, a green and clear environment, rather than anything else, turns to be an important role and a urgent issue in our daily lives. Meanwhile we just live in only an earth, if we didn’t try to protect our common hometown, we would have no place to settle.
Thus, we should take effective measures to rebuild our beautiful environment of the cities from now on.
In my opinion, law and regulations should be enforced by the government and authorities to control the emission of polluting gas. To ourselves, we should enhance the awareness of environment protection and choose a green lifestyle to make contribution to our earth day from day.
【参考译文】
近年来,我国城市中出现了越来越频繁的污染灰霾天气,大气污染这一话题再次引起人们的关注。正如图中所示,当污染雾霾来临时,整个城市被悬浮的微粒覆盖,这些微粒会吸入我们的身体,给我们的健康造成严重的问题。
由于污染雾霾的影响,一个绿色而清晰的环境,而不是其他东西,成为我们日常生活中的一个重要角色和紧迫问题。同时,我们只是生活在一个地球上,如果我们不试图保护我们共同的家乡,我们就没有地方定居。
因此,从现在起,我们应该采取有效措施重建我们美丽的城市环境。
我认为,法律和法规应该由政府和有关部门来控制污染气体的排放。我们应该增强环保意识,选择绿色生活方式,为我们的地球日做出贡献。

+ 加入清单Gorky said: "Books are the ladder of human progress!" It is obvious how
important reading is! Reading books allows us to learn a wealth of knowledge,
but also make people progress.
Usually we should read more books, and we must read good books, such as:
science fiction, composition, fairy tales, fables, myths and other useful.
Meaningful book. However, for books like comics, it is best to read less.
"Reading through thousands of books, writing pens is like a god." I think
that reading more is good for writing. When reading, you should accumulate some
good words and good sentences, and then copy them on your notebook. Learn more
about other peoples writing skills. Content, so that when writing, the
accumulated and learned things can come in handy!
Books are our good friends; books are also our good teachers; none of us

篇4:高三英语作文大全120词
全文共 1668 字
+ 加入清单Nowadays, house husband has become a hot phenomenon in modern society. As
we all know that no matter what country, it’s a tradition that men play a core
role in family who always take the burden to earn money to support their family.
But things are kind of different as society develops, more and more men are
beginning to take over housework while women go out from house. In my point of
view, I think this is not a big deal.
In the first place, house husband may be a shame title for men, but when it
comes to money, there is no room for reputation. As society develops, the life
standard are rising, and everything for living is much expensive than before, if
couples want to guarantee their life quality, then they should let the one who
earn better to work, although the one is female.
In the second place, it’s fine for women to support family as long as they
earn better than men. In the past, women always were treated very badly, and
they got no rights to be educated, to work. In some countries, they can’t even
show their face to others. A traditional female role is to stay at home, taking
care of children and do all of the housework. But now, lots of women have a good
job, so that they totally have the ability to be the economic backbone.
Therefore, in order to take good care of family, men are likely to stay at home
to do housework. I don’t think it’s a shame for men, because no matter what you
do, as long as you do it well, you are successful.
To sum up, people should change their opinion about core role of a family.
It’s acceptable for women to support the family, and there is no shame for men
to do the housework. As long as you remember life quality comes first.

篇15:食品安全英语

+ 加入清单Fast food has flooded in our lives nowadays. Concerning fast food,
different people have different attitudes.Some hold that fast food is necessary
in our society while others argue that fast food is harmful to our health. As
far as I am concerned, fast food is necessary but not a must in our lives.
On the one hand, fast food is necessary in our today’s society. Although
fast food is not as nutritious as home-made food, it is a good replacement when
we are in hurry and have no enough time to prepare food by ourselves. It can
help us to save much time. In addition, fast food is cheaper but various and we
can taste different kinds of food by using less money.
On the other hand, however, fast food is not a must. Fast food can be used
to replace our home-made food sometimes, but we should not eat it very often.
Compared with home-made food, the nutrition provided by fast food is far less.
Therefore, eating fast food only can not provide enough nutrition for our
growth. Besides, the problem of food security is another factor we should
consider when eating fast food.
In a word, fast food is necessary sometimes in our lives, but we can not
eat it very often. At the same time, to fit for the need of people, fast food
restaurants should develop and provide more and more nutritious food and
strengthen the supervision of food making.

+ 加入清单Recently, Internet is more and more popular among people; meanwhile people are increasingly cheated by the information on it. So, can we trust the information that possibly is not very real? There is no denying that we must be careful about the Internet.
First, we must carefully distinguish the information between right and wrong. Although it’s difficult, we also have to make it. We can search specific information from database of the government. Secondly, once connected to money, we must be cautious about it. Thirdly, when we look for jobs from Internet, if they ask us for money, we can’t listen to them or give them money. It is a trick to a great extent. But some information is real and we can believe it.
As far as I’m concerned, information on the Internet is a double-edged sword. We must remain skeptical of the Internet information.
篇20:茶文化英语作文高1
全文共 1682 字
+ 加入清单When a guest comes to my home from afar on a cold night, I light bamboo to
boil tea to offer him. Ancient Chinese poem.China is the home country of tea.
Before the Tang Dynasty, Chinese tea was exported by land and sea, first to
Japan and Korea, then to India and Central Asia and, in the Ming and Qing
dynasties, to the Arabian Peninsula. In the early period of the 17th century,
Chinese tea was exported to Europe, where the upper class adopted the fashion of
drinking tea. Chinese tea like Chinese silk and china has become synonymous
worldwide with refined culture. At the heart of the culture of tea the study and
practice of tea in all its aspects is the simple gesture of offering a cup of
tea to a guest that for Chinese people today is a fundamental social custom, as
it has been for centuries.China traces the development of tea as an art form to
Lu Yu, known as the Saint of Tea in Chinese history, who lived during the Tang
Dynasty and who wrote The Book of Tea, the first ever treatise on tea and tea
culture. The spirit of tea permeates Chinese culture, and throughout the country
there are many kinds of teas, teahouses, tea legends, tea artifacts and tea
customs. Better-known places to enjoy a good cup of tea in China include Beijing
noted for its variety of teahouses; Fujian and Guangdong provinces and other
places in the southeast of China that serve gongfu tea, a formal serving of tea
in tiny cups; the West Lake in Hangzhou, also the home of the Tea Connoisseurs
Association, noted for its excellent green tea; and provinces in southwest China
like Yunnan where the ethnic groups less affected by foreign cultures retain tea
ceremonies and customs in original tea-growing areas.
