My College 我的大学

When I was in high school, go to college ismy dream. Now I realize my dream. excited as I am, the first time I see my college.

在高中的时候上大学就是我的梦想。现在我实现了我的梦想。第一次看到我的大学时,我很兴奋。

My college is inside the biggest university of Guangxi so that everytime I have to across a big campus to go out. At first Iam upset about that, but later on I get used to it. My college looks modernization in general. When I arrive at the school gate, the first thing is the boys’ dormitory and then is the playground. Look up! I see the canteen. I see the girls’ dormitory turn left. But where is my classroom? I look around but can’t find it. It turns out that it is separated by burrows. It’s strange,right? While I go across the burrow, I see another two big playgrounds and a tenniscourt at my left side. What is in my right side? Turn right, I see rows of teaching building connecting with the library. This is my college. I like it notonly because of the evironment but also the people there.

我的大学是在广西最大的大学里面,以至于每次我要出去的时候都要经过一个大校园。一开始的时候我很烦这一点,但后来我习惯了。整体来看我的大学是现代化的。我到达学校门口时,映入眼帘的是男生宿舍,然后是操场。抬头!我看到了食堂。左转我看到了女生宿舍。但是教室在哪里呢?我环顾四周,却找不到。原来它被一个地洞给隔开了。很奇怪,对吧?我走过地洞,我看到了另外两个大操场,一个网球场在我的左边。在我右边的是什么?向右转,我看到了一排排的教学楼连接着图书馆。这是我的大学。我喜欢它,不仅仅是因为那里的环境而且还是因为那里的人。

Both the teachers and students there are very nice. My roomates always help me in the daily life, the thing they usually do is wake me up in the morning. Other classmates always help me, when I meet trouble in study. My teachers are all kind and knowlegeable. Especially my head teacher, he talks with us and plays sports with us in order to make us get used to the new life.

那里的老师和同学都很好。我的室友总是日常生活中帮助我,他们经常要做的事是在早上叫我起床。我在学习上遇到困难,其他同学也总是帮助我。我的老师们都很友善和博学。特别是我的班主任,为了让我们适应新的生活,他和我们聊天,打球。

My college is wonderful. I love it. If you have the opportunity, I hope you can pay a visit one day.

我的大学很好,我爱它。如果有机会,我希望你们也能去看看。

工作对生活的重要性 Work Is Important in Our Life

These days I have beenleisure but bored after finishing the final exam. In fact, I really don’t likethe way I have lived in these days, because I feel like a foolish that cantfind my values and have to be supported by others. That made me crazy.Therefore, I consider that people should find and achieve their values in lives,especially female. Obviously, work is an important way to achieve our values.However, why is work important in our life?

期末考试过后的这几天我很闲但是也很无聊。事实上,我真的不喜欢这几天的这种生活方式,因为我感觉像个傻子一样找不到我的价值而要靠别人养活。这使我疯掉了。所以,我认为人应该找到并实现自己的生活价值,特别是女性。很明显,工作是 实现我们价值的重要方式。但是,为什么工作在我们的生活中如此重要呢?

Firstly, work isthe only way for us to satisfy our basic needs. In order to get food, clothesand other living conditions to live happily, we have to work hard. In thisaspect, work is a natural responsibility for us, for our families. But usually,those who just consider work as a kind of responsibility regard work as a heavyburden in their life and they will feel really tired after a period of time,even some of which will choose to renounce the responsibility they have.Therefore, workmust have other positive meanings in deeper respect.

首先,工作是我们满足基本需要的唯一方式。为了获取食物,衣服还有其他生存条件以幸福生活,我们必须努力工作。在这方面,工作对我们以及对家人来说是自然的责任。但是,通常那些只把工作当做一种责任的人,也把工作当做是生活中的一种压力。经过一段时间后他们就会觉得很累,甚至有的人会选择放弃他们的责任。因此,工作必须有在更深层面有积极的意义。

In addition, I strongly feel inthese days that work is an important way to achieve ourselves. Just as Maslowsays that human has five needs: physiological needs, safety needs, love andbelonging, esteem, self-actualization and self-transcendence. In my opinion,work is relative to the higher hierarchy of needs. We always need to achieveour value and worth to gain esteem or recognition from others by some ways,especially by work. I think it is easyto appear in the younger those who have some mature thoughts, so that mostteenagers will try their best to get rid of their parents’ care to make a livingby themselves. In this aspect, working is not only a way to make a living, butalso a way for us to achieve ourselves. In other words, working can bring satisfactionto us in spiritual.

另外,这几天我有强烈的感觉,工作是实现自我的重要方式。正如马斯洛所说,人有五大需求:生理需求,安全需求,爱与归属,自尊,自我实现和自我超越。在我看来,工作与更高层次的需求有关。我们总是需要实现我们的价值,想要通过某些方法,尤其是通过工作,从别人那里获得自尊或认可。我认为这对有成熟想法的年轻人来说是很容易的,所以大部分的青年会尽量摆脱父母的照顾独自谋生。从这一方面来看,工作不仅是谋生手段,也是我们实现自我的手段。换句话说,工作能够给我们带来精神上的满足。

In a word, work isimportant in our life. No matter what kind of occupation we pursue, we shouldtry our best. As an adult, without work, you would be bored, and even decadent.

总之,工作在生活中很重要。不管我们追求的是哪一种职业,我们应该尽我们最大的努力。作为一个成年人,没有工作你就会觉得无聊,甚至颓废。

An Excellent School Art Festival 精彩的学校艺术节

Our school art festival is held once a year. I think this year’s was excellent because a lot of students and teachers took part in it. At first, the students of Class1 Grade6 danced the Gangnam Style. How wonderful they were! Then, English teachers had an English Choir. How good they were! I liked these two programs. Finally the students of Class3 Grade7 sang pop songs. They sang so wonderfully! At last they won the first prize.

我们学校的艺术节每年举行一次。我认为今年的真是太棒了,因为很多的学生和老师都参加了。一开始的时候,六年级一班的学生跳江南style。他们跳得多么的棒啊!然后,英语老师组织了英文合唱团。他们唱得多么好啊!我喜欢这两个节目。最后的是七年级三班的学生们唱流行歌曲。他们唱着如此的美妙啊!最后他们赢了一等奖。

My name is Wang and Wei Wei. I am studying in class six (seven) of twenty-three schools in Datong city of Shanxi province. My black hair, a pair of big eyes and bright, pretty nose and small. This is quite satisfactory, but I seem to lack a mans masculinity, wood has become a boat, you have to do.

I love reading, who makes the book the grain and pillar of the human spirit? It is still the ladder of human progress. I often swim in the sea of books, they are like a magical elf, quietly impart knowledge to me. I learn a lot of things in a middle school, it can be said that this is the love of reading the gain! I remember one time, I started reading from the morning, and when I slowed my book from the book, I had five p.m. and I thought I had just seen it for a while.

My study is also the top class in my class. The three giants of Chinese, math and English often give me a light green light. Of course, there is also a time of red light, even when there are Ever-victorious general, failed to do!

......

Every man has his faults. After all, I still have a shortcoming.

I often absent-minded, not forget this, is to forget that. In grade four or five, it is common to forget to bring back the homework book at night. Oh! This is a difficult problem. Yesterday, I was reminding myself that I didnt need to make up lessons tomorrow morning, but I just forgot that when I walked half way, I could hardly remember it. What else could I do to go home?

The second disadvantage is that I do not like to clean up my room. My books can be seen everywhere: on the study table, on the bed, in the bookcase... Well, its everywhere, anyway. If you want to find something smaller here, it will take at least ten minutes.

The third disadvantage is that there is some carelessness in learning, often not to forget the decimal point, that is, to forget the name of the unit. This is my natural enemy, too.

In high school, I was ever called as a runner before time. Now,I know I am behind time so much in fact. I hope to catch up with the time by my hard studying. When I entered the CLASSroom at first time, I was headache as I couldn’t understand what the professor was speaking. I met much difficulties at math, physics and other courses, even though I used to be good at these sciences. Therefore, I learn these courses myself after CLASS. After three months, the exmination indicated that I overcame all the difficlties. I study English hard as well. It makes me have many chances to communicate with foreigners. I made friends with many foreign teachers and students. From them, I learn many knowledge about foreign culture.

Besides study, my college life is also very colorful. I’d like to take any chance to improve my communication skill. Last year, I organized a speech match in management department. All the CLASSmates were very interested in this kind of activity. I learned from them much about their hometown, their knowledge and opinions.

My college life is long and short. I believe that I can spend a good time in the four years. I hope I will have no any regretion when I look back the short youth of college in the future.

篇14:大学教育的目标英语作文

According to many people, university is aspringboard towards better jobs or higher salaries, and their only goal ofuniversity education is to get a degree. Why do you go to university? I believedifferent people have different answers to this question. As far as I amconcerned, I do not agree with their opinion that university education is aspringboard. Let me name my reasons.

First of all, university education can helpstudent cultivate sentiments. People who are having university education mustlearn much more knowledge. This knowledge will help them cultivate their tastefrom their inside heart. What’s more, the atmosphere in college is also helpfulin developing students’ personal quality.

Secondly, university education is a goodplace for students to prepare for going to society. College doesn’t like highschool. Students have to learn many things besides study. This is the finalstage before they enter the society for most students. Having universityeducation helps them adapt the society easily.

Thirdly, university educationwill let students have a further knowledge in one field. Before going to university,students have to choose their major. This is because they have to learn specializedknowledge in that field. If they want to success, having knowledge about onething deeply is necessary.

To sum up, university education has manyfunctions. It is not only a springboard for better jobs or higher salaries. Theycan’t set their goal for university education is to get a degree. It deservesmore.

对于许多人来说,大学是一个走向更好的工作和更高的工资的跳板,他们在大学教育中唯一的目标就是获得学位。你为什么上大学呢?我认为这个答案是因人而异的。对我来说,我不同意他们认为大学教育只是一个跳板的看法。让我列举我的原因。

首先,大学教育可以帮助学生陶冶情操。接受过大学教育的人肯定能学到更多的知识。而这些知识可以帮助他们从里培养他们的情操。再者,大学的氛围也是有助于培养学生的个人素质。

其次,大学教育是让学生做好进入社会的地方。大学不像高中。除了学习之外学生还得做很多别的事情。对于大多数人来说这是他们进入社会前的最后阶段。拥有大学教育可以帮助他们更容易地适应社会容易。

第三,大学教育可以让学生在一个领域中学到深刻的知识。在上大学前,学生们要选择自己的专业。这是因为他们要在某一领域学习专业的知识。如果想成功,深入学习是很重要的。

总之,大学教育的作用多多。它不仅仅只是获得更好工作或者薪水的跳板。人们不应该把大学教育的目标设定为拿到学位。它有更多的价值。

篇20:初一介绍春节英语

全文共 1617 字

The first day is for the welcoming of the deities of the heavens and earth, officially beginning at midnight. Many people, especially Buddhists, abstain from meat consumption on the first day because it is believed that this will ensure longevity for them. Some consider lighting fires and using knives to be bad luck on New Years Day, so all food to be consumed is cooked the day before. For Buddhists, the first day is also the birthday of Maitreya Bodhisattva (better known as the more familiar Budai Luohan), the Buddha-to-be. People also abstain from killing animals.

Most importantly, the first day of Chinese New Year is a time when families visit the oldest and most senior members of their extended family, usually their parents, grandparents or great-grandparents.

Some families may invite a lion dance troupe as a symbolic ritual to usher in the Lunar New Year as well as to evict bad spirits from the premises. Members of the family who are married also give red packets containing cash to junior members of the family, mostly children and teenagers.

While fireworks and firecrackers are traditionally very popular, some regions have banned them due to concerns over fire hazards, which have resulted in increased number of fires around New Years and challenged municipal fire departments work capacity. For this reason, various city governments (e.g., Hong Kong, and Beijing, for a number of years) issued bans over fireworks and firecrackers in certain premises of the city. As a substitute, large-scale fireworks have been launched by governments in cities like Hong Kong to offer citizens the experience.
