phenomenon.
Personally speaking, excessive packaging has a bad influence on our
environment, which also wastes precious resources. So we should increase our
awareness of consuming and save rare resources. At the same time, some useful
measures should be taken by the government. Its high time we took action to
prevent this situation. Only in this way can we put an end to this trend.

Additionally, we ought to give our helpful hands to others when they are in

doing so can we enjoy the happiest life.

但是你的身边有这样的场面吗:在手机的点击声中,手里的速冻汤圆不慎滑落在地,跌得粉碎,像轰雷般提醒了你,今年春节要去香港旅游。如是这样,声呢?味呢?乡呢?
篇20:以诚信为主题高一英语
全文共 1994 字
+ 加入清单My grandparents believed you were either honest or you werent. There was
no in between. They had a simple motto hanging on their living-room wall: "Life
is like a field of newly fallen snow; where I choose to walk every step will
show. "They didnt have to talk about it--they demonstratedthe motto by the way
they lived. They understood instinctively that integrity means having a personal
standard of morality and ethics that does not sell out to expediency and that is
not relative to the situation at hand. Integrity is an inner standard for
judging your behavior.Unfortunately, integrity is in short supply today--and
getting scarcer. But it is the real bottom line in every area of society.And it
is something we must demand of ourselves.
A good test for this value is to look at what I call the Integrity Trial,
which consists of three key principles: Stand firmly for your convictions in the
face of personal pressure.
When you know youre right, you cant back down. Always give others credit
that is rightfully theirs. Dont be afraid of those who might have a better idea
or who might even be smarter than you are. Be honest and open about who you
really are. People who lack genuine core values rely on external factors--their
looks or status---in order to feel good about themselves. Inevitably they will
do everything they can to preserve this facade,but they will do very little to
develop their inner value and personal growth.
So be yourself. Dont engage in a personal cover-up of areas that are
unpleasing in your life. When its tough, do it tough. In other words, face
reality and be adult in your responses to lifes challenges.
Self-respect and a clear conscience are powerful components of integrity
and are the basis for enriching your relationships with others.
Integrity means you do what you do because its right and not just
fashionable or politically correct. A life of principle, of not succumbing to
the seductive sirens of an easy morality,will always win the day. My
grandparents taught me that.
