一个十二岁的女孩,高高的个子,瓜子型的脸上镶嵌着一对大眼睛,长长的睫毛显得大眼睛十分灵动,不仅如此,她还遗传妈妈,双眼皮宽宽的,但是她也像妈妈一样戴上了眼镜。她有宽宽的脑门,鼻子下面是一张能说会道的嘴巴。你猜出这是谁了吗?其实,这就是我!

我在学校是一个乖巧听话,令老师喜欢的孩子,谁会相信这样一个女孩回到家就摇身一变,成了顽皮,又带着无理取闹的丫头了,但这却是事实。

在家里,我和妈妈吵吵闹闹是常有的事,因为互不服气。有一次,我和妈妈去参加她朋友的婚礼,当时下了雨,天气较凉,但我依然想穿着裙子去,妈妈不肯,为了这事,我们吵了起来。“可以穿,坐车去又不冷!”“不可能,你想感冒吗?”妈妈瞪着我,眼睛像葡萄一样大,我则毫不示弱,昂着头像小斗鸡似的,吵个不停。最后妈妈要发怒了,我一看,赶紧妥协,撇着嘴,带着满腔不情愿说:“不穿,行了吧。”这就是我,双面性格的我。

在学校担任班长职务的我,当然要开班会了。我清了清嗓子,走上讲台,开始了首次班会。

“同学们,我们今天来学习中学生日常行为规范……”我有条不紊的进行着班会,这可都要靠我平时积累的生活和六年在校的经验,而且还有我良好的语言表达能力。我按老师说的,提问同学,举例说明等等。要知道,现在我能站在台上大胆发言,是因为小学时担任过许多活动的主持人,充分锻炼了自己,所以我有信心开好班会。在老师的总结和同学们的掌声中我走下了讲台,顺利结束了班会。这就是我,自信勇敢的我。

每个星期天,我都不会错过科技频道《自然传奇》这个节目。有时看得入迷,妈妈叫我两三次我都没有听见。我喜欢它是因为它能告诉我自然界的许多知识,比如蚂蚁筑巢,各种蜘蛛如何捕食,植物的很多特点等等。而我最大的梦想,注意不是理想,就是去全球动植物最丰富的亚马逊丛林历险。这就是我,热爱自然的我。

这就是我,有双面性格的我;这就是我,自信勇敢的我;这就是我,热爱自然的我,你们了解我了吗?

I am very glad to be here for this interview. First let me introduce myself. My name is abc, 25 years old. I come from Weifang, a beautiful city of Shandong Province. I graduated from Commercial College in July,2001 and major in finance. Then, I was a teacher in abc, When I was a senior school student,I am interested in thought and began to read a certain classic work of Marxism, especially I finished reading “the florilegium of Mao ZeDong”。 From then on, I have dabbled in more and more theoretical works and accumulated great interests in theory study, especially in Marxism.

If it is possible, I want to get the primary accomplishment in my major, at least, a stable basis.

Personally, for today‘s China, the first task to the development of Marxism is a process of construction. That’s to say, we should understand Marxism mostly from the aspect of construction and development of social society. Only when our socialistic country has a more rapid and balance development than the capitalistic, we can enhance the attractiveness and persuasion of Marxism eventually.

长城建于公元前5世纪春秋代,全长六千多公里。

长城横亘中国北方辽阔的土地上,宛如一条巨龙盘旋于起伏的群山之颠,气势磅礴,庄严雄伟。那为什么要修建长城呢?原来战国时明灭元后,为了防止蒙古人卷古重来,从建朝第一年起,花了一百多年时间才基本完成建筑长城工程。长城非常高大坚固,是用巨大的条石和城砖筑成的。城墙顶上铺着方砖,十分平整,大约五六匹马可以并行。城墙外沿有两米多高的垛子,垛子上有两个小口,供了望和射击用。没隔三百多米就有一座方形的城台,是屯兵的堡垒,打仗时可以互相呼应。

据说长城还有一个美丽的传说呢!别急,听我一一道来。孟姜女的丈夫被秦始皇抓去造长城了,为了这件事,孟姜女哭得像个泪人似的。过了几年,她丈夫没有传话给她,孟姜女决定去找丈夫。孟姜女一路上费尽了千心万苦,终于来到了长城。她找呀找,找呀找,还是没有找到丈夫,她问了工友们,工友们说:“范喜良已经死了,尸首被拉去镇城脚了。”孟姜女听了,一阵心酸,大哭起来,哭得天昏地暗,连天地都感动了。天越来越阴沉,风越来越猛烈,只听“哗啦”一声,长城倒了,范喜良的尸首露出来了。孟姜女非常伤心,纵身跳进波涛滚滚的大海。大家一定要保护长城,给以后游览长城的人作榜样。

长城是我国古代规模最大的防御性军事工程。长城东起山海关,穿过高山,越过深谷,伸蜒于沙漠和草原,一直到达终点嘉峪关。全长1.2万余华里,故称万里长城。

在公元前五至七世纪的春秋战国时期,中原大地诸侯争霸,战争频繁。为了防御北方草原强悍的游牧部落袭扰中原,位于北部的燕、赵、秦等国于要冲之地高筑城墙。秦始皇统一中国,将列国长城连成一线,创造了举世闻名的古代工程奇迹。朝廷采取高筑墙方针,对长城进行了18次大规模修筑,延续时间长达200余年,将历代土石城墙都改为砖砌。

长城不是一道弧立的城墙,而是由敌楼、烟墩组成的完整的军事防御体系。到了明代,城墙防御体系极其严密,城墙以砖砌成,高10米,宽5米,墙上每隔30米建有敌楼,敌楼有实心和空心两种,平面圆型。实心敌台只能射击,而空心敌楼下层住人还有粮草。在城墙上还垒砌有烟墩,一旦战争爆发,位于前线的烟墩点烟,士兵就出动了,士兵从垛口进行射击,城墙设置射孔等防御工事。

作为中华民族象征也征服了世界。1987年12月被联合国教科文组织遗产委员会列世界遗产名录。长城,是中国的一条龙,是见证中国发展的有效见证,这也验证了不到长城非好汉的含义。

篇20:高一英语作文腊八节介绍

全文共 1415 字

The majority Han Chinese have long followed the tradition of eating laba rice porridge on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. The date usually falls in min-January and is a traditional Chinese festival.

Legend about the origin of this festivity abounds One maintains that over 3,000 years ago sacrificial rites were held in the twelfth lunar month when people offered up their prey to the gods of heaven and earth. The Chinese characters for the hunt and the twelfth month were interchangeable then, and ever since la has been used to refer to both. Since the festival was held on the eighth day of the last month, people later appended the number eighth , giving us the current laba.

Buddhism was well accepted in the areas inhabited Han Chinese, who believed that Sakyamuni, the first Buddha and founder of the religion, attained enlightenment on 12/8. Sutras were chanted in the temples and rice porridge with beans, nuts and dried fruit was prepared for the Buddha. With time the custom extended, especially in rural areas where peasants would pray for a plentiful harvest in this way.

There is, however, another touching story. When Sakyamuni was on his way into the high mountains in his quest for understanding and enlightenment, he grew tired and hungry. Exhausted from days of walking, he passed into unconsciousness by a river in India. A shepherdess found him there and fed him her lunch.
