导语：我们都说任何事物都有其两面性，所以上网也不例外。下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的优秀英语作文，欢迎阅读与借鉴，谢谢!

We should say that every coin has its two sides. So it is with surfing on line.

Generally speaking, students will benefit a lot from Internet. People can get lots of useful information through the Internet quickly ,no matter it is national or throughout the world. We can also listen to the music and chat with the friends far away.The most important of all is that we can search many foreigners who speak English as their native languge, which can help us improve our Enlish rapidly.We can send Email to our good friends in a few seconds---with the internet your friend dont need to wait for so long time as receiving a letter as before.

But it also can spread many side effects.for example ,there are some sexy news and pictures on web which will not do good to teenagers. And there are some games that can easily attract the students and even make you addict to the games so you can waste a lot of valuable time.

On the whole it will give you both good and bad things, the thing matters much is how do you make use of it.

【参考译文】

我们都说任何事物都有其两面性，所以上网也不例外。

总的来说，学生通过互联网还是受益颇多的，我们可以很快从网上取得很多有益的信息，不管是国家的还是世界的。还可以在网上听音乐和远方的朋友聊天，最重要的是可以接触到很多讲英语的外国朋友和他们当地的方言，以帮助我们快速提高英语水平。通过互联网我们远方的朋友不再像以前一样需要花很长一段时间才能收到信件，只需几分钟就可以给我们的好朋友发送邮件。

但同时也带来很多不同的影响，比如，很多不利于青少年的色情新闻或者图片在网上出现，同时还有很多易于吸引学生的游戏甚至长时间沉溺于游戏。

总的来看很多东西都有利有弊，就看你如何去利用它。

(Mothers Eyes)

My mother has a pair of keen eyes which can speak. With her eyes,she observed my mood, gave me courage and made me strong. Therefore, I could face difficulties.

When I was a baby learning to walk, my mother always lent me a hand and encouraged me to get up while I fell down. As I finally threw myself into her arms, her eyes smiled with praise. Later as I grew up, I met with more difficulties. But whenever I was frustrated, my mothers eyes alwaysgave me hope and encouragement. Once I failed in exams, my mother encouraged me to find out the reasons. Instead of blaming me she pushed me to do better. At last I overcame the difficulty. Now I have grown up and become more independent, but whenever I come across setbacks, my mothers eyes are always with me encouraging me wherever I go.

我母亲有一双敏锐的、会说话的眼睛。那双眼睛能洞察我的心情，给我鼓励，促我坚强，因此我能面对一切困难。

孩提学步时，妈妈总是帮助我，鼓励我摔倒了就爬起来。最后我晃晃悠悠地扑进她怀抱时，她的双眼充满了赞扬之情。成长过程中，我遇到了很多困难，但灰心失望时，妈妈的双眼总给我以希望和鼓励。一次我考试不及格，妈妈没有责备我，而是鼓励我找出原因，提高我的成绩。最后我终于度过了难关。现在，我长大了，不用再让她操心了。但每当遇到挫折时，妈妈的眼睛总是伴随着我，给我鼓励。

[高考英语作文高频语法词汇

高考已经进入倒计时了，这时候多看看写作技巧准没错。下面是语文迷为大家整理的英语写作高分技巧，希望对你有帮助。

一、把握文体

话题作文往往不限文体，允许考生自由发挥。但是，不限文体并不等于不要文体。话题作文的“文体不限”其实是指不限于一种文体，让学生有选择文体的自由。当你选定了一种文体时，还得按照这种文体的特点来谋篇布局进行写作。有的同学观察能力强，生活积累丰富，不妨将生活中精彩的片断撷取出来写成一篇生动感人的记叙文;有的同学想象丰富，擅长编写故事，不妨写写童话、寓言或科幻小说;有的同学逻辑思维能力强，擅长推理，不妨写成一篇理据充分的议论文;有的同学感情细腻丰富，不妨写成一篇优美抒情的散文，肯定会非常出色。

二、缩小范围

话题作文只提供写作的话题，而没有中心、材料、结构、文体、语言等等的限制;给了考生一个比较开放的构思空间，使考生能最大限度地发挥想象力和创造力。但是，如果不注意把握话题，缩小写作的口子，就会出现“下笔千言，离题万里”的毛病。因此，不管所给的话题多么宽泛，我们都要善于缩小“包围圈”，要选择一个小小的切入口，如一件事、一个人、一样物品、一种感受、一点看法等等，集中笔力加以突破，把你所选择的话题角度写细写深写透，做到“以小见大”。

三、拟好题目

标题是文章的“眼睛”。俗话说：“题好一半文”。话题作文允许自己拟题目，因此，我们要努力提高拟题水平，力争使自己拟的题目准确、凝炼、含蓄、新奇，使阅卷老师“一见钟情”。

四、善于联想

话题作文是一种开放性的作文形式，要求考生放开手脚，尽情地驰骋在想象的空间，善于多方位地展开联想，这样，才能生发出丰富多彩的思路来。比如话题“风”，你可以联想到自然界的风：微风、大风、狂风、飓风、龙卷风等等;你还可以联想到社会风气：拍马风、送礼风等等;你可以联想到一种像风一样的流行时尚：金庸热、韩寒热等等;你甚至可以联想到假如你是风，假如你遇到风等等。

五、写出新意

话题作文既然是应试作文，总得给评卷老师一个好的感觉，得—个好的分数。因此，写出特色、写出新意是十分重要的。我们在写作时，要善于“独辟蹊径”，也就是要求我们在立意上要有特的感悟，不入云亦云;选材上要有独到的眼光，不陈题旧话;构思上要独具匠心，不四平八稳，波澜不惊语气上要有独到的魅力，不平铺直叙泛泛而谈。

Each and every one of us is responsible for the greenhouse gases we emit in our daily actions and choices. Therefore, combating climate change is going to take the combined efforts of everyone on the planet.

The average household carbon footprint in China is 2.41 tons of carbon dioxide annually. Thats enough to fill half an Olympic swimming pool.

Surprised? Well, heres how you can work to reduce it:

1.Get started by calculating your own carbon footprint. This will give you a starting point from which to begin monitoring your progress. You enter details such as what sort of apartment you live in, your personal energy use and travel habits.

2. Each week, choose one day when you dont eat meat. Meat uses up lots of energy because it takes a long time to produce. Animals produce methane, which is another dangerous greenhouse gas, when they burp and fart.

3. Only buy the amount of food you need and if there are leftovers, get creative. For instance, make them into a soup. Ask to take food home from restaurants if theres some left, but remember to take your own container to avoid using a disposable carton.

我们每一个人负责温室气体排放在我们的日常行为和选择。因此,应对气候变化需要地球上的每个人都的共同努力。

平均每个家庭在中国的碳排放量是2.41吨二氧化碳。足够填充半个奥运游泳池了。

惊讶吗?下面是如何努力去减少这种:

1。开始计算你自己的碳足迹。这将给你一个起点的开始监视你的进步。您输入详细信息,比如什么样的公寓你住在,你的个人能源使用和旅行的习惯。

2。每周选择一天当你不吃肉。肉类消耗大量的能源,因为它需要很长时间。动物可以产生甲烷,这是另一种危险的温室气体——当他们打嗝、放屁。

3。只买适量的食物,如有剩饭,有创意。例如,让他们变成一个汤。要求把食物带回家从餐馆如果有一些离开,但切记要适用自己的饭盒,避免用一次性饭盒。

Sky blue, white clouds, there is a lake, the lake side, there are several willow willow girl gently stroked the lake brothers cheek. From a few bird crow, originally is the orioles singing in the willows; In the distance, several egrets fly in the blue sky. as du fu "two oriole sound cui willow, a line of egrets on the sky." Ah! What a beautiful artistic conception! Now most people aspire to the living environment, but with the development of the industry, a large number of harmful gas and industrial wastewater discharge, make the earths temperature, water pollution. Plus deforestation, forest is less and less, and the earth mother in tears every day, so were going to action, and low carbon environmental protection together, let the earth mother no longer cry, to return to the beautiful youth.

NO. 1 - dont be lazy, blindly now peoples environmental protection consciousness enhancement, everywhere the bin in the street, as long as more than a few steps you can see it so dont be lazy oh! Do this, move the brain, and also note the rubbish to see garbage is recycled or not in his hand, and then throw. Dont see someone is thrown on the ground, throw myself, dont learn others, should be timely dissuade him (her).

NO. 2 - to save water, protection of water resources is well known, "water is the source of life". The water on the earth is very rich, but it can directly for people to drink fresh water accounts for less than 1%, the rest of the 99% water, so we have to economize on water. On the basis of this, but also reduce the discharge of industrial and living sewage.

NO. 3, energy conservation and emissions reduction, low carbon life

We should pay attention to energy saving, solar terms, fuel-efficient, start from the intravenous drip, as far as possible to reduce electricity, oil, gas, reduce the use of disposable supplies, go out, in their own cars less as far as possible by bus, reduce the discharge of domestic water and garbage. We must learn to energy conservation and emissions reduction, low carbon life.

NO. 4 - trees

The "lungs of the earth, the forest is one of natures temperature regulator. Forests absorb large amounts of carbon dioxide during photosynthesis and release a large amount of oxygen, maintaining the carbon - oxygen balance of nature, thus purify air environment, make us breathe fresh air, so we want to afforestation more, make the earth green.

Low carbon environmental protection is every citizen to do your own thing, left everyones participation and support, and low-carbon environmental protection is meaningless. Lets erase carbon footprint will low carbon environmental protection, let us hand in hand into the low carbon era.

天蓝蓝的，白云悠悠，有一个湖泊，湖泊旁有几棵柳树，柳姑娘轻轻抚摸着湖水弟弟的脸颊。不时传来几声鸟啼声，原来是黄鹂在柳树上鸣叫;远处，有几只白鹭飞上蓝天。正如杜甫绝句中“两个黄鹂鸣翠柳，一行白鹭上青天。”啊!多么美的意境呀!现在人们大多向往这样的生活环境，但随着工业的发展，大量有害气体和工业污水排出，使地球温度升高，水资源污染。再加上滥砍乱伐，是森林少而又少，地球妈妈每天都在流眼泪,所以我们要行动起来，一起低碳环保，让地球妈妈不再哭泣，重回青春美丽。

NO.1----不要偷懒，盲目从众现在人们的环保意识已经增强，在大街上随处可见垃圾箱，只要多走几步就能看见它因此不要偷懒噢!做到了这一点，还要注意扔垃圾的时候动一下脑子，看手上拿的垃圾是可回收还是不可回收，然后再扔。不要看见有人随手扔在地上，自己也扔，不要学别人，应及时劝阻他(她)。

NO.2----节约用水，保护水资源众所周知，"水是生命之源.地球上的水资源很丰富，但能直接供人饮用的淡水占还不到1%,其余的99%为海水，所以我们要节约用水。在这一基础上，还要减少排放工业，生活污水。

NO.3----节能减排，低碳生活

我们要注意节电,节气，节油，从点滴做起，尽可能减少电，油，气的使用，减少使用一次性用品，出门尽量少开私家车，多坐公交车，减少家庭用水和垃圾的产生量。我们要学会节能减排，低碳生活。

NO.4----植树造林

“地球之肺”--森林是大自然的温度调节器。森林通过光合作用吸收大量的二氧化碳并释放出大量的氧气，维持了大自然的碳—氧平衡，从而净化空气环境，使我们呼吸新鲜空气，因此我们要多植树造林，使地球绿意盎然。

低碳环保是每个公民自己的事，离开了每个人的参与和支持，低碳环保就是一句空话。让我们抹去碳足迹将低碳环保进行到底，让我们携手走进低碳时代。

2012年高考满分作文《传递爱最朴实的语言》

新课标卷（河南、黑龙江、吉林、宁夏、山西、新疆、陕西、海南阅读下面的材料，根据要求写一篇不少于800字的文章。船主请一位修船工给自己的小船刷油漆。修船工刷漆的时候，发现船底有个小洞，就顺手给补了。过了些日子，船主来到他家里道谢，送上一个大红包。修船工感到奇怪，说：“您已经给过工钱了。”船主说：“对，那是刷油漆的钱，这是补洞的报酬。”修船工说：“哦，那只是顺手做的一件小事……”船主感激地说：“当得知孩子们划船去海上之后，我才想起船底有洞这事儿，绝望极了，觉得他们肯定回不来了。等到他们平安归来，我才明白是您救了他们。”

要求选好角度，确定立意，明确文体，自拟标题；不要脱离材料内容及含意的范围作文，不要套作，不得抄袭。

传递爱最朴实的语言

百晓牧长春爱是没有时间限制，爱是没有空间约束，爱是同胞最深刻的感动，爱是在龙的脉管中传递，汩汩的血浓于清清的水，让我怎么去感谢生命中的你？

当我只需要一滴水的时候，你却给予了我希望的源泉；我原想珍藏一片红叶，你却给了我整个枫林------船主原仅仅想让漆工给船涂漆而已，结果漆工顺便补了船体的漏洞，挽救了船主孩子们的生命。此时，船主，手捧万金，泪流满面，哽咽诚语：让我如何感谢您，漆工。此刻，漆工，脚踏实地，笑容满面，婉言拒绝：工钱已给，举手之劳，责无旁贷。

仅仅一句“举手之劳”成了传递爱最朴实的语言，用行动将爱再次传递。风从水上走过，留下了粼粼波纹；阳光从云中穿过，留下了缕缕温暖；漆工举手之劳，留下了感动、价值、鼓舞，润湿了船主的眼眶，滋润了看官的心。轻轻一步，阐释爱心无价；点滴之间，尽站中华美德。

太阳无语，却放射出光辉；高山无语，却体现出巍峨。漆工的举手之劳，却挽救了船主儿子的生命，感动你我他，润心细无声。

周冲，年轻帅气的“黄衣哥”，当他路过天河区东圃怡东苑小区，看到悬空女童时，危急万分，他毫不犹豫的爬上防盗网，解救下了女童，做完好事后，他则默默地消失在公众的视野。后经过媒体和市民的全城搜寻，冒险救人不留名的“黄衣青年”终于现身，用最朴实的话语回答此次善举：

“想到小孩子那么危急，就没想到自己的安全，只想着能把孩子救下来再说，只是举手之劳的事情而已”！什么让他举手之劳，是中华美德、是一个龙传人的品质。他的轻轻一步，成就了一个年轻的生命，滋润和震撼了湖北，同时也感动了中国。

骆驼从沙漠走过，留下了深深蹄印；岁月从树林中走过，留下了圈圈年轮；我们从时代的舞台走过，留下了什么？偶然的一次咨询电话，让我真正明白，“举手之劳”一直润心无声。一次因为肺炎拨通了长春新康呼吸专科医院的电话，那边郑主任耐心的解答让我有了后面的疑问，一个没有在其医院消费的患者他们为什么这么耐心解答，郑主任的回答让我默然：我们医院的院长告诉我们，举手之劳的事情就可以减轻患者的痛苦，避免诊疗中走很多弯路，这是我们的准则。一句他们认为很普通的准则，却可以帮助多少人？什么让他们有了这样的“举手之劳”，是悬壶济世之心？是东北人特有的豪迈？这也许就只有“举手之劳”的人才知道吧！轻轻一句话，化解纷飞无数；请请一举手，让生命永恒。即使我们只是一颗星星，也要在黑暗中闪出自己的光芒；即使我们只是一滴水，也要在生命的旅途中作叮咚的脆响；平凡的人，平凡的司机，平凡的吴斌，在生命最后的76秒，忍受着肝脏破碎的剧痛，轻轻一踩，稳稳的停下高速行驶的客车，轻轻的打开了警示灯，挽救了一车的乘客，他却倒下了，永远倒下了，再也没有站起来。他的轻轻一停，在他看来，是举手之劳，却挽救了一车人的生命，这是责任，这是职业道德，这是一种毅力，更是一种无私的奉献。就是这么一位平凡的司机，就是这么的轻轻一停，闪出了自己的光芒，碰撞出了滴水的脆响，留下了一首诗：今天，整个杭州只有一位司机；今天，所有的事情连同西湖的水光都只是乘客；今天，司机用生命把客车停靠在岁月的宁静里；今天，离开的是死亡，留下的是责任、爱和伟大的平凡；今天，叫吴斌。

鲜花无语，却散发出芬芳；青春无语，却散发出活力。举手之劳，却润心无声，绽放人性的光彩。让我们来做花的使者，把花香传给别人；让我们来做绿叶的群族，把花蕾顶过自己的身躯。举手之劳，最朴实的行动把责任、爱心，奉献的接力棒再次传承下去。

proud of yourself; when you fail, never give up. Please smile to face your life. If you do this, you will find the sky more blue; the sea more green….. Your life will become better and better!

One day my grandmother and I went to the park, it began to rain when we got there. Some people were disappointed, but my grandmother smiled: "it is good to rain, it will water the field, and the crops will grow better. I think so. If we can change our mind to see the things, we will discover all things are beautiful. In everyones life, the mood is very important. It can encourage unsuccessful people not to lose heart, to make sad people feel better. At last I want to say, if you enjoy life, you will be happy forever.

The importance of English rests with the language being used in most countries in the world as a communicating tool. For example, a German and a Chinese cant speak opposite sides language, but they both know English. And then there is no problem between their language communication. We must know the importance and learn the language earnestly.

The key to learn English well is to recite words. Words are the bricks of language building.Only keeping them in our mind, can we master them. To learn English well,we need to listen more English broadcast and contact with more foreingers so that we can practise our listening comprehansion. Only in this way, can we study for the purpose of application.

在新概念三册中，对比论证的方法反复被运用到，至少出现了五次，分别在篇章L12，L23，L38，L41 和L54的第一段出现。如果对这五篇文章中的对比论证段落仔细研读，会发现这些段落有着几乎完全一样的结构，有规律可循，所以对比论证方法应该是三册学习中不可忽略的一个部分。

这里我们就拿第12课为例。对比论证出现在了第一段。作者在第一段开门见山提出了论点：Most of us have formed an unrealistic picture of life on a desert island（我们许多人对于荒岛生活有一种不切实际的想法）。之后作者讲了两种截然相反的想法：一种想法是imagine it to be a sort of paradise（认为荒岛是天堂）；另一种想法是Life on a desert island is wretched（荒岛生活很可怕）。最后一句话是个总结句。作者正是通过两种呈对比的想法来论证“人们对荒岛生活有不切实际的想法”这一观点。需要读者关注的是，在两种成对立的想法之间作者用了一句非常漂亮的过渡句：The other side of the picture is quite the opposite. （另一种想法恰恰相反）。于是，一个结构清晰严谨、论述有理有力的段落跃然纸上。

读罢上述五篇文章的第一段，不难发现它们都是由两种相反的观点组成，而在相反的观点中间，作者都运用过渡句，这里对对比论证的过度表达稍作总结：

The other side of the picture is quite the opposite. (L12)

on the other hand (L23)

but (L38)

…be only part of the picture. (L41)

however (L54)

了解了对比论证之后，我们不妨思考下如何运用这种手法，毕竟学以致用才是我们的最终目的。如果针对当前的英语高考作文题，我们完全可以让它在我们的考场上发挥作用。这里以上海2004年和2005年的英语高考作文题为例，看看这一新概念三册中反复出现的手法如何作为应试技巧运用到考试中。

2005上海英语高考作文题：

古人云：“天生我材必有用”(There must be a use for my talent.)。通过描述你生活中的一件事，说明人各有所长，无论才能大小都能成为有用的人。

写作文首先要做的是审题，这个题目要求你在写文章时做到两点：你的观点是支持“天生我才必有用”；用你生活事例论证。如何引出自己的观点呢？我们可以运用对比手法，可以先就题中话题先找到两个对立观点，然后再抛出自己的观点。值得一提的是，考官在批阅一片作文时首先会注意考生是否偏题。那我们如何避免偏题呢？一个很好的方法就是在开头就告诉改卷老师你扣题了。比如笔者写下如下一段作为作文首段：

People have formed an unrealistic picture of their talents. Some imagine themselves to be unconquerably intelligent. On the opposite, others tend to consider themselves a drop in the ocean, powerless and useless. There is an element of truth in both ideas, but I am convinced that there must be a use to out talent, as it can be proved by my own experience.

先写人们对自己的天赋形成了不切实际的看法，然后写两种极端的看法：一种是认为自己绝顶聪明，另一种是自己如沧海一粟，微小无用。在这两个相反的观点之间有了on the opposite来过渡。这正是运用了对比论证的手法，但是别忘了上述的两点考题要求。在列举了两种相反的观点之后就可以抛出自己的观点：I am convinced that there must be a use to out talent.而后自然用过一个as it can be proved by my own experience的句子过渡到以下的事例对这一观点进行论证。如此一写，完全不用担心是否扣题的问题，因为在这一文章首段告诉了考官自己的观点，并且通过一个过渡句说明下文内容是起到论证作用的事例。当然不要忘记这里是通过对比的手法来引出自己的观点的。

上述高考题属于比较严肃的话题，如果遇到的话题涉及生活事件呢？下面再列举另一种风格的高考作文题。

2004上海英语高考作文题

老师要求你负责班级墙报(wall newspaper)工作并征求你的意见。在日记中表述你的决定并谈谈想法。

我们首先还是要捉摸清楚考题的要点：你的决心；你的想法。负责班级墙报貌似是个小话题，但是我们完全可以运用上对比论证的手法。比如在写自己的决心时，不妨先写一般人对这样一个老师指派的任务是何种态度，而后引出自己的决心。而在写一般人的态度时完全可以用上对比的手法。比如笔者写下如下一段作为作文首段：

People show different attitude when appointed to be in charge of wall newspaper. Those who regard the task as a great burden would decline it while those who long to serve their fellow students would accept it with great pleasure. As for me, it is a golden opportunity to practice myself, so when the challenge comes, I will accept it.

可以先用一句话总起人们会有不同的态度，而后写两个呈对比的观点：一种是认为这是个负担因而拒绝承担；另一种是渴望为民服务因而欣然接受。中间运用的过度是while，这样可以将呈对比的做法浓缩在一个句子里，句子结构的复杂性提升。然后通过as for me来表达自己的态度，也就是我的部分决心。

当然，不要忽略作文题中的另一个非常重要的要求，即该作文是以日记形式出现，所以不妨将将这一比较正式的段落放在文中而非文首。

这里暂以两个高考作文题为例，运用上新概念三册中的对比论证手法，希望可以给大家一些启发，帮助大家真正地将这一结构手法活学活用。

How I Spent My Summer Vacation

The summer vacation had come round again. I was happy that I could forget about school at least for a while. Lest I fool around all through this summer vacation, I made a plan as to how to spend it. First, I thought I should go over all those things my teachers taught in the previous term so that I could have a better understanding of them. Then I thought I should take up some forms of exercise, such as walking, running and rowing, to keep me physically strong. It stood to reason that with such a good plan I should make the best of my vacation time. I did, because I lived up to what I had planned.

the beijing zoo is the largest in asia and one of the largest in the world. there are hundreds of different kinds of animals in it.

Every child needs to receive education and they spend so much time to learn

knowledge, whether they are like or not. The adults always tell their children

that as they are young and full of energy, so they should learn knowledge and

skills, but most kids dont know the necessity of study. The most important

reason to study is to keep pace with the time. We live in the society that we

need to make connections with others. If we dont get the newest information, we

will be kicked out and have no idea what they are talking about, then isolation

happens. Whats more, when we are equipped with skills, we can make our choices

and take charge of our life. In order to live the comfortable life, we must

study hard and fight for our future.

我的高中生活优秀英语作文一：

Now, the new semester has begun for more than one week. I gradually adapt to my new life in senior school. In senior school, my biggest feeling is busy, for I have classes all the day and teachers leave us a lot of homework. In the morning, I have two periods for morning reading, Chinese and English, beginning from 7:00. After that, I have four periods in the morning and four other in the afternoon. There are many more subjects than in middle school, Chinese, math, English, physics, chemistry, history and so on. Sometimes, I am afraid of seeing so many textbooks in my desk. In addition, the contents are much more difficult than before. Math and physics are the most difficult ones for me. No matter how hard I work, I still can’t do well in them, which makes me frustrated. Therefore, in the new beginning, I must change my learning strategies to make my work more effective. All in all, my new life in new school is good and rich, though it’s busy.

我的高中生活优秀英语作文二：

Generally speaking, life in high school is busy and fulfilling, due to the ultimate goal---College Entrance Examination. Many people say that there is no fun left but bored study and endless exercises. However, as a high school student, I can’t agree with them. Personally, I live a fruitful but happy life in high school. It can’t be denied that study is my priority that I must spend most of my time and energy on it. Sometimes, study may make me frustrated or even drive me crazy, but I still can adjust my mood to enjoy my life. Besides, I can also get a sense of achievement when I do well in my study or make progress. The most important is that my friends bring much happiness to me and my parents’ care inspires me to go on. I think friends in high school are my best friend forever, because they know me a lot and witness all of my emotions. They are the persons who grow with me. In addition, teachers in high school care much about our students both in study and life, and classmates are always friendly to each other. We build deep friendship together. All of these make up my fruitful life in high school, which I will cherish forever.

一般来说，高中生活是忙碌而又充实的，因为我们最终的目标都是高考。很多人说，除了无聊的学习和无止的练习根本就没有乐趣可言。然而，作为一名高中生，我不同意他们的说法。在我看来，我的高中生活充实而又快乐。不能否认，学习是我的首要任务，去必须把握大部分的时间和经历花在上面。有时候，学习是我感到沮丧，甚至快要发疯;但是我仍然能够调节我的心情去享受生活。除此之外，当我在学习上做得很好或者是取得进步的时候，我感到一种成就感。最重要的是，我的朋友给我带来了很多快乐，父母的关心也激励着我继续前进。我认为高中时期的朋友永远是我最好的朋友，因为他们了解我，见证了我所有的情感，他们是和我一起成长的人。另外，高中的老师在学习和生活上更关心学生，同学彼此之间也很友好。我们一起建立了深厚的友谊。所有的这些构成了我充实的高中生活，我将永远珍惜它。

According to my memory, my high school life was full of happiness and fortune because of my lovely friend and teacher. They are sunshine in my high school life.

根据记忆，我的高中生活充满了幸福和运气，因为有可爱的朋友和老师。他们是我高中生活的阳光。

I met my best friend in senior one. She is a girl with long legs, white skin, and small face. What makes me a deep impression is her wide shoulder, wider than other girls who have the same height as her. She was kind, treating me just like I was her sister. I didn’t live in school dormitory, but she did. So, I slept with her at noon. Sometimes we argued, but we both checked our mistakes and recovered our relationship soon. When we were senior two, I moved in school dormitory, I didn’t feel comfortable in there very fast. She took care of me and made me feel warm. In my opinion, she is more than a friend, like a family.

在高一的时候我遇到了我最好的朋友。她是一个女孩，有着一条长长的腿，白皙的皮肤和小小的脸蛋。她比同身高的女生都要宽的宽宽的肩膀让我印象深刻。她很善良，对我就像是她妹妹一样。我不在学校宿舍住，但是她在。所以，中午我和她一起睡。有时候我们会争吵，但我们都自我反省，之后我们的关系很快就会恢复了。当我们高二的时候，我搬到学校宿舍住，很快我就觉得不舒服。她照顾我，让我感到很温暖。在我看来，她不止是朋友，也是家人。

As for my teachers, my chemistry teacher is my favorite teacher. She is a woman with sweet smile, not so tall, but she built a tall imagination in my heart. I used to chat with her result from my failure in the exam. She is a divorced woman; however, she was steel, living a happy life with her daughter. I appreciate people with a strong heart, maybe the reason is that I want to be the kind of person who is always optimistic and can’t be defeated easily. She expresses that.

至于我的老师，我最喜欢的老师是我的化学老师。她是一个女老师，总是挂着甜美的微笑，她不是很高，但她在我的心里却是伟大的形象。我曾经因为考试不及格而和她聊天。她是一个离了婚的女人;然而，她却像钢铁一样坚强，和她的女儿过着幸福的生活。我很欣赏拥有一颗坚强的心的人，也许是因为我想成为一个永远乐观，不轻易被打败的人。她说道。

The high school memory is a valuable memory in my life. It’s my fortune to meet them, my sunshine.

Waste management is a big problem for Australia. Australian population continues to grow and we need to use more and more resources and creating more waste. Wastes are substances that have no further use and if disposed of in land water or air can harm humans or the environment. If we don’t do something for the amount of waste that is produced there is a risk that we may run out of room in landfills or even run out of resources and I conducted the surveys from my friends and neighbours to check how many rubbish we need to waste and what is that.

I conducted 20 surveys asking them about type and amount of waste that they generate each week. The results showed that about 35% of people have 2 bags of rubbish per day. And about 25% of people have 1 and 3 bags of rubbish per day. The rest of them have 8+ bags per week. Do you know how large of the number for the rubbish? If an average weight of 2 kg per bag that’s mean we got about 116+kg per week for 20 household. If we have 23 million people in Australia that’s mean we need to waste about 113.4 million rubbishes per week. That’s a really huge number. And then I want to tell them about which strategies they need to be using to make a positive impact on waste management. If we still waste that lot may be one day all the landfill are full and we have to found a new place to set the rubbish and at that time we will be really regret.

The survey result also showed that there were a number of different types of waste thrown out in each household. Just like I think before most of them are food waste (29%) and the following are plastic (21%) garden waste (18%) paper product (15%) glass (10%) miscellaneous (5%) and the last one is aluminium (2%). As you see food waste still pretty much but we can’t do anything to that right? Therefore we need to improve our waste management by recycling the paper product glass and aluminium rather putting them in the garbage. That will be helpful for reduce landfill and save resources. May be that just a really small number for the rubbishes waste but that will make landfill have a lot space to put other rubbish.

In the survey people were asked to rank which strategies they would be prepared to use to help better manage waste. Most people said use products that can be reused or recycled is the first one the next highest rank is choose to buy goods that have less packaging and join an environmental group establish a worm farm to reduce food waste and put rubbish in a bin not on the ground. The least popular choice is Volunteer to help on ‘clean up Australia day’. These choices show u people want to do something more easily to do and don’t need too much time to spend to do.

I think Australian people need to do one thing good and that does will be fine just need to improve our own waste management by recycling the paper glass and aluminium. If Australian government will check all the time and wanning people that will be more easily. Thank for reading.

废物管理是澳大利亚的一个大问题。澳大利亚人口继续增长，我们需要使用越来越多的资源和创造更多的浪费。废物是没有进一步利用的物质，如果处置在陆地、水或空气中，会危害人类或环境。如果我们不做一些废物的生产量，有一个风险，我们可能会耗尽在垃圾填埋场的空间，甚至耗尽资源，我进行了调查，从我的朋友和邻居，以检查有多少垃圾，我们需要浪费，是什么。

我进行了20次调查，询问他们每周产生的废物的类型和数量。结果表明，约35%的人每天有2袋垃圾。大约25%的人每天有1袋和3袋垃圾。其余的人每周有8袋。你知道垃圾的数量有多大吗?如果每个袋子的平均重量为2公斤，这意味着我们每周得到大约116 +公斤的20户。如果我们在澳大利亚有2300万人，这意味着我们需要浪费大约1亿1340万的垃圾每周。这是一个非常庞大的数字。然后，我想告诉他们，他们需要使用哪些策略对废物管理产生积极的影响。如果我们仍然浪费了很多，也许有一天所有的垃圾填埋场是充分的，我们必须找到一个新的地方设置垃圾，在那个时候，我们将是真正的遗憾。

调查结果还显示，每家每户都有一些不同类型的垃圾被扔掉。就像我以前认为的，大部分是食物垃圾(29%)，下面是塑料(21%)，花园垃圾(18%)，纸制品(15%)，玻璃(10%)，杂项(5%)，最后一个是铝(3)。正如你看到的食物垃圾仍然相当多，但我们不能做任何事情，对不对?因此，我们需要通过回收纸制品、玻璃和铝来改善废物管理，而不是把它们放进垃圾桶里。这将有助于减少填埋和节约资源。可能是对于垃圾废物只是一个很小的数字，但这将使垃圾有很多空间放其他垃圾。

在调查中，人们被要求排列哪些策略，他们将准备使用，以帮助更好地管理废物。大多数人说，使用的产品，可重复使用或回收是第一个，下一个排名最高的是选择购买的货物，减少包装和加入环保集团，建立一个蠕虫农场，以减少食物浪费，把垃圾放在一个垃圾桶，而不是在地面上。最不受欢迎的选择是自愿帮助“清理澳大利亚日”。这些选择表明你，人们想做的事情更容易做，不需要太多的时间去做。

我认为澳大利亚人民需要做一件好事，这将是罚款，只是需要改善我们自己的废物管理，回收纸张，玻璃和铝。如果澳大利亚政府将检查所有的时间和万宁人，那样会更容易。
