我想了想说：“那可以把‘一带一路’理解成现代的丝绸之路，把我们中国的各种家电、生活用品，带去其他国家，甚至给沿线国家铺设高铁，建造发电厂，还可以去支持非洲等落后国家的发展建设，然后把其他国家的石油、矿产、粮食等我们需要的物资带回家”，爸爸笑着点了点头。

篇13：滑雪高中英语
全文共 1192 字
+ 加入清单Skiing is a desirable activity fro＇ young people. It provides the excitement that the youth is commonly seeking. The skiers can enjoy the thrill of gliding at tremendous speed down a gleaming,white mountain slope. Often, with split second tinting, they must dodge trees, stumps, and rocks——or find themselves suddenly sprawling in the snow. If they have more than average skill, they can sall through the air in breathtaking leaps and jumps that bring excitement to the onlookers as well. True, there is danger in this excitement,but that is a risk the youth enjoys. Furthermore, skiing is healthful.
It provides exercise, often very strenuous as the skiers trudge up a mountain path or work their way on skis up a slope of deep snow. The best of skiers know that they need strong muscles to successfully control their skis, so they exercise to keep themselves physically fit. Another desirable feature is the companionship that usually develops wherever skiers gather. Friendships grow quickly on the slopes and in the usual nearby shelter where the skiers find food, warmth, and rest. Their experiences of the day and their youthfulness easily draw these people together in happy fellowship.
篇14：关于网购英语作文高中
全文共 1394 字
+ 加入清单With the development of Internet, more and more people tend to shop on the
Internet. Online shopping has provided some benefits for us, but it also has
some disadvantages at the same time.
For one thing, online shopping has brought some convenience for consumers.
Instead of going one shop to another, people can choose and buy all kinds of
commodities they like as long as they click the mouse gently. This is not only a
better choice for the old who do not have enough energy to go outside but also a
great convenience for those who have no time to go shopping in person. In
addition, consumers have more choices and can do some comparison when they are
shopping on the Internet. They can glance over various commodities in all
shapes, sizes and colors and decided to buy or not. Furthermore, online shopping
has made a great contribution to the development of express delivery
industry.
However, for another, shopping on the Internet also has some shortcomings.
Firstly, those who shop on the Internet can’t try the goods before they buy.
Sometimes, the real goods are not the same as the goods they see on the
Internet. Secondly, some shops on the Internet are dishonest and they would not
deliver the goods after paying. And if this situation happens, the consumers
would find nowhere to complain and never pull out the money any longer.
Therefore, we should pay more attention when shopping on the Internet.

全文共 1035 字
+ 加入清单Once Chairman Mao said one is never too old to learn, his famous words inspire people to keep learning all their lives. Since we are small, we study at school, then we have to learn until we are at college, after graduate from college, we finish our education in the school.
Then the new stage comes, we start to work, making money, learning knowledge seems unnecessary to us.
This is totally wrong, we learn all the time, even we are out of school, we have lessons from life.
Life is a big topic, we have to learn it all the time. We have to deal with trouble, learning to make friends and accept fail.
All these things we will not learn at school, we have to learn by ourselves, we are students and teachers. If you think you finish learning after school, you are narrow minded.
毛主席曾经说过“一个人要活到老学到老”，他的著名话语激励着人们终身学习。
当我们还小的时候，我们在学校学习，然后直到大学前，我们都要学习，大学毕业后，我们完成了在学校的学习。然后新的阶段到来，我们开始工作，挣钱，学习知识似乎不必要了。
这是完全错误的，我们一直学习，即使不在学校，我们学习生活。生活是一个大主题，我们不得不一直学习。我们要处理麻烦，学着交朋友和接受失败。所有的这些东西我们都不会在学校学到，我们必须自己学习，即是学生也是老师。如果你觉得你出了学校后就完成了学习，你的思想就很狭隘了。
