In my mind, everyone shall have his own dream. I think that having a dream

means that we have an idea, and then we will do all the things to achieve the

target. As long as we have a goal to be realized, we won’t be blind at

least.

My dream is to become a successful stateman, helping those people who need

help with their rights. Of course, to be a good stateman is very difficult, but

I will do whatever I can do to keep everyone satisfied. Thats my dream. I want

to try my best to help the poor sick people of our country. China is a

developing country which needs good stateman,especially in the countryside and

distant villages.

春天来了,百花争艳,鸟儿欢叫。在一个阳光明媚的日子里,我到校园里找春姑娘的足迹。 Spring is here, the flowers are gorgeous, the birds are screaming.On a sunny day, I went to the campus to find the footprint of the spring girl.

我先来到紫藤长廊。紫藤的叶子十分茂密,但藏不住娇艳的紫藤花,紫藤花还是显而易见。一串串淡紫色的花,抬头望去,仿佛是一串串葡萄,让人恨不得摘下一串来尝尝,那味道肯定很甜。紫藤花很香很香,因为花太多了,所以香得有点快让人窒息的感觉,香味实在太浓了。从篮球场走过,来到通往小广场的那条路,那儿的花真多,有红的,白的。花虽红却红得不俗;花虽白却白得纯洁而又高贵。蜜蜂还在花间转悠呢。

大草坪的翠绿虽比不上紫藤花的美丽,但充满生机。小草长得很高了,也很绿,仿佛那绿色是用颜料染上去的。小草好像刚刚洗过澡似的,还湿漉漉的。让人想在上面打个滚或美美地睡上一觉。

从一楼的餐厅走过,来到餐厅门前的“大花坛”。我在石头铺成的小路上走着,一阵春风吹来,啊,好凉爽啊!这儿有杜鹃花、牡丹花,它们多么鲜艳耀眼啊!

看,那儿东一簇,西一簇的东西是什么呀?走近一看,哦,原来是荠菜啊!把叶子掐开,好香啊!我怎么看见那个角落里有黄黄的小花呀!会是什么野花呢?在猜想中,我来到那个角落,定睛一看,原来是迎春花。淡黄的花瓣结成的花朵在叶子的衬托下,显得分外美丽。一阵微风吹来,花儿微微点头,好像在向我问好。桃树已经长出嫩芽,桃花也开了,有粉红的.,有大红的,有许多鲜艳的颜色。草丛里的野花也挺起胸膛,野花的颜色可丰富了,它们好像认为自已不比那些娇艳的花朵差,也来参加春姑娘安排的这次宴会。

春天在哪里?春天在小朋友的笑容里;春天在哪里?春天在美丽的小花蕊里;春天在哪里?春天在我们美丽的校园里。这里的风景真美。

期盼已久的暑假终于来临了,卸下了一学期的疲劳,终于可以放松地去玩了。 The long -awaited summer vacation finally came. After removing the fatigue of a semester, I could finally play with it.

我和表弟他们决定去贵州省贵阳玩,我们先去江门玩一天,再坐高铁去贵阳玩一天,一路上,我们有许多开心的事情,跟我一起来看看吧!

坐车去江门的路上,我看到了有高高的松树,美丽的油菜花……不到一眨眼的功夫就到了江门。表弟和表哥先带我去游乐场玩,有似长龙的过山车,恐怖的鬼屋,还有刺激的碰碰车。我坐在过山车上,好紧张。“啊——好爽啊!”我大声说。其实坐过山车一点也不好玩,我都给吓“死”了。

我和表弟表哥去了鬼屋玩,门口的形状是五指山,在往右走30米就是出口了,我走进去一看,一点也不吓人。鬼屋里只有三个机关,一个是跑出来吓你,另一个是拍拍你的肩膀再大叫几声,最恐怖的是第三个,走到前面那个石头旁边,他就会小心翼翼地走到你面前,看着你,只有三厘米的距离。我吃完东西后,就去了动物园。那里有小鹿、老虎等动物。不一会儿我们就出来了,吃完饭,收拾好行李,第二天就向贵阳出发。

第二天,去江门高铁站购票,接下来我们就搭高铁出发了。五个小时的行程,我们一直在聊天,吃零食,睡觉,除此之外,什么也没有发生。

到了贵阳,哥哥说“走,搭的士去黄果树大瀑布吧!”到了目的地,先看见的是长长的楼梯,走到尽头,看见很多美丽的小花。那里还有竹子做的洗手池呢!这里空气好清新啊!我们看到了瀑布,它调皮地奔向河里,如雷贯耳,还溅起了水花,太壮观了。我们观赏后就去了小食街,有很多好吃的,应有尽有。

我们的暑假生活真丰富!这一次旅行我觉得很开心,也体会了很多乐趣。

人们为什么喜欢春天?因为春天带给我们温暖,驱散寒冬,唤醒沉睡的花儿,而春天异逝,但在生活中,许多人许多事让我们感到温暖,使自己的世界春暖花开

在我上三年级时,我很不听话,经常与妈妈争吵,一天晚上,天上下着小雨,闪电交加,雷声震震,风怒吼着,异常的寒冷,可我又与妈妈发生了矛盾,与妈妈赌气,就索性不盖被子就睡着了,可到了深夜,我模模糊糊听到母亲的叫声,开始有了点意识,想要起来但头额非常沉。

我的脸上如着火一般红烫,妈妈赶紧穿好衣服,直接抱起我就向外跑,外面大雨未停,妈妈连雨衣都没有拿,经直跑上医院,不一会儿,我见到妈妈的衣服已经淋湿了,而我却几乎没有淋一点雨,不知过了多长时间,当我醒来时,已经在医院的病床上,爷爷奶奶陪着我,没有见到妈妈的身影,我好以后才知道,妈妈淋雨后就感冒了,我又想起发烧的那一晚,心中倍感温暖,心中充满对母亲的感激之情,母亲对我的爱,让我温暖。

深冬了,天气多么寒冷,寒风刺骨,本应在这时下雪,下雨也不应该很长很大,可今天格多的奇怪,多面下着雨加雪,那雨竟越来越大,打的玻璃砰砰做响,我多么希望在放学前雨停,我并没有带伞,可现实总是残酷,放学了,雨丝毫没有停的意思,我竟一时不知该怎么办。

我的好朋友看出我的难处,但主动送我回家,我家有些远,我们有说有笑,我丝毫没有注意到伞有些小,不知多久,我到家了,可我一转身发现,他的半边衣服已经湿透了,他什么都没有说,便笑着走了,当时寒风刺骨,可我心中涌出一股暖流,流变全身,让我在着寒冬也倍感温暖,朋友对我帮助,让我温暖。

母亲对我的爱让我温暖,朋友对我的帮助让我温暖,我的身边还有许多事让我温暖,不论何时何地,这些温暖让我的世界春暖花开。

今天早上,天气非常的好晴空万里,我非常的兴奋、高兴。更是因为今天老师要我们在这晴空万里的好天气里到电子科大尧山校区的至善楼和明德楼前的空地集合,然后一起徒步进军草木葱郁的尧山板栗园。 This morning, the weather is very clear and clear, I am very excited and happy.It is because the teacher wants us to go to the Shan Shanlou and the open space in front of the Mingde Building in the good weather in this clear sky in the good weather of the clear sky, and then walk into the lush Yaoshan Banli Garden.

在去板栗园的路上非常艰难。在一段路上有很多很多的石子,可同学们没有说难走;从电子科大到板栗园有很长很长的路,可同学们也没有说累要放弃。太阳公公和小鸟看见了我们坚持不懈都好像在说:“你们真是好样的。”

到了板栗园后,已经快中午了。大家的肚子也已经饿得“咕咕”叫了,于是我们拿出各自的食物三五成群的围坐在一起津津有味的吃了起来。吃着,吃着不知是谁挑起了一场“换食风波”同学们纷纷用自己的食物换别人的食物吃。让很多同学吃到了许多不同的美味食物有:可乐鸡翅、红烧排骨、酸辣鸡爪、大鸡腿……同学们都非常的高兴。

吃完饭后我们休息了一下就开始冒险——收集在树丛中的板栗和野草、野花。刚刚捡板栗时,我不知道它的外壳上的刺很尖,所以我被它刺刺痛了,于是,我愤怒之下用一块大石头用力去砸板栗,不想我居然歪打正着的把板栗的外壳给砸开了,里面露出了香甜可口的板栗,我小心翼翼的把它拿了出来放进嘴里轻轻一咬板栗的香甜马上就在我的嘴里回荡着……真是美味极了。不一会儿,大家就收集了不少的板栗和野花、野草。冒险完后我们开始返程了。

在返校途中,小鸟叽叽喳喳的叫着好像在对我们说:“加油!加油!”于是,我们班就出现了很多口号,一些同学唱出了临时编造的口号,一些同学唱出了爱国口号,一些同学唱出了拔河比赛时的口号……这些口号虽然五花八门,但都让我们充满力量,忘记疲劳。一个小时后我们快乐的回到了学校。

今天的秋游不仅磨炼了我们的意志和耐力,还促进了我们的友谊,所以应该每年都举行这样的活动。

Since I was very small, I was very shy in the public place, so I always

avoided giving performance in front of so many people. Though I tried hard to

get over it in school, I still felt uneasy in the public place. When I came to

the job market, I realized that I must get over my fear, or I would lose my

stage.

I still remembered the horrible experience for my first interview. Early in

the morning, I got a called that I was given a chance to the job interview. I

felt so excited. When I came to the company, I found there were other six young

people competed with me, then I started to feel nervous. The employers asked us

to sit in the round table and introduced ourselves one by one. When it was my

turn, I lowed down my head and spoke in low voice. Then the employers continued

to let us give speeches in the stage. I lose confidence and made the horrible

performance.

This interview taught me a lesson that I must get over my fear, or I will

lose chances. So I practise hard and dare to stand in the stage.

篇12:小学生劳动体会话题年级

同学们,你们就应还记得“劳动最光荣”这首儿歌吧!它里面的:幸福的生活从哪里来,要靠劳动来创造和劳动的快乐说不尽,劳动的创造最光荣说得实在太好了。没错,劳动就是生命的源泉,劳动就是生活的使者,劳动就是人生的指明灯,任何成功都就是由劳动得来的。 Students, you should also remember the childrens song "The most glorious labor"!The happiness of labor is endless, and the most glorious creation of labor is really good.Thats right, labor is the source of life, labor is the messenger of life, labor is the indicator of life, and any success is obtained by labor.

这次“六·一”节的前一天,学校让每个班级各自打扫一下教室。这下,我们班的同学都议论纷纷起来,有的同学说:“这下学校肯定到处都就是忙活的景象了。”此时有的同学说:“这一打扫,教室的‘青春’又该展示出来了。”有的同学说:“教室几年没大扫除了,这该有多脏呢?”还有些不喜欢学习的同学说:“这下,能够不上课了,太爽了!”教室里就像刚下油锅的爆米花似的,噼哩啪啦响个不停。

星期四下午,同学们都带齐了大扫除的工具。体育课时,几位男同学帮忙拿着脸盆,提着水桶打了几桶水,准备开工。

同学们拿起自带的抹布,浸湿,开始擦桌子,黑板,窗户……同学们的动作各式各样,有的斜着头,好像在寻找下一个目标;有的甩动着手好像在酣畅淋漓地为桌子画上绿装;还有的同学全身一齐动员起来,好像在一边跳舞一边清洁似的。我忙得不亦乐乎,此时拿起抹布,使出吃奶的力气擦拭着窗户的边沿。呀!不擦不明白,一擦吓一跳!平日看起来干干净净的窗户,原先那么脏。

同学们忙得差不多了,我拿起拖把,沾了点水,便学着妈妈的样貌拖了起来。原先,拖地也就是有讲究的呀!拖低的时候要用力,不然拖地就没用了。我拖了一会,腰就酸死了,都直不起来了。拖完,我把拖把洗了一下,我的眼睛都瞪大了,一桶清水都变成污水了,比墨水还黑。我们打扫了一下午,最后让教室再现“青春”了。我看了看同学,豆大的汗水从脸颊上落了下来,衣服全都被汗水侵占了,同学们又用脏手往脸上一划,脸蛋都成小花猫了。这一次,我才明白,原先打扫就是那么辛苦的事。今后,我必须要好好帮忙妈妈做家务。

星期四下午,我们虽然都很累,但十分快乐,因为我们明白了劳动才就是最光荣的。

我的家乡在江北的一个小乡村,在连云港附近,是个好地方。我奶奶就住在那个小村子里,我的`童年就是和奶奶一起度过的。那里虽谈不上有多少的好山好水,但是一年四季的景致和趣味也不比别的地方差。 My hometown is a small place near Lianyungang, near Lianyungang.My grandma lived in that small village, and my childhood spent with grandma.Although there are not many good mountains and rivers, the scenery and fun of the year are not worse than other places.

春天的时候百花盛开,姹紫嫣红的景象甚是好看,走在田野上,温和的阳光洒下,照在花朵上,风一吹,那些在阳光下的花朵就像小星星一样扑闪扑闪的,很是可爱。大树抽出了嫩枝新芽,碧绿碧绿的,在微风中轻轻的晃动,仿佛在招手一样,显得十分动人。

夏天到了,知了趴树上聒噪的叫声使人烦躁,这时的树荫显得更加的浓密了,大人们喜欢端着茶壶,躲在阴凉的地方休息聊天,小孩子们喜欢在一起游泳戏水,稍微有些勤奋的,不一会可以摸到一大盆螺蛳和河蚌。晚上炒菜吃。更有甚者去林子里找野草莓吃。

秋天是个收获的季节,我们可以去果园玩。果园里满是苹果和梨子,苹果是半红半青的,梨子是棕色的,不是黄的,一个个像胖乎乎的小娃娃一样,挂在树上,十分好看,那里面一般不用农药,摘下来一个就可大快朵颐了,苹果的味道十分的美味。梨子虽然不是太好吃,但是味道还不错。

冬天的时候,我们的家乡成了雪的世界,外的的雪总是在飘落个不停,想伸出手去接,可惜的是雪花一到手掌就化成了水了,再接一个,又接一个,可是雪花总是那样故技重施。地上铺着一层白花花的“雪地毯”,在阳光的照耀之下,仿佛是缀满了宝石的白地毯一样一闪一闪的,我们必须要穿着厚厚的衣服带个大大的帽子出去玩。我们总是会在一起打雪仗或者抓一把雪往别人衣领子里灌。叫他冷的缩脖子。玩腻了,就回家看电视或睡觉,往往第二天早上一起来,家家门口都会立着一个奇怪的大雪人,也许是为了开心或者是故意的。

这就是我的家乡,一个温暖,美丽的地方,一个充满着乐趣的地方。

篇20:手机英语年级

全文共 3150 字

+ 加入清单

Cellular phones have had a major impact on our lives and the way that we

perform every day tasks. Many of these changes are apparent, while others we may

not even be aware of.

Cell phones have brought a whole new meaning to the term multitasking.

Twenty years ago, it was not possible to talk to the office while you were at

the grocery store picking up some necessary items. You could never have had a

three-way business conference while you were fixing dinner or been able to deal

with a business client from home while caring for a sick child. Cell phones have

enabled us to do various tasks all at the same time.

Cell phones have also enabled families to keep in closer touch with each

other. Children can contact you if they have missed their ride form soccer

practice and your spouse can call while he is stuck in traffic to let you know

that he is going to be late for supper. Teenagers are able to call to ask

permission to go somewhere, and with GPS features that are now available on some

cell phones, you are able to check to make sure that they are where they are

suppose to be.

Many of these advantages we do not even notice. Have you ever arrived at

the grocery store and realized that you have forgotten your grocery list? The

first thing you would probably do is to call home and have one of your children

read the list off to you. In the same situation in past years, you may have

forgotten things or have had to drive all the way back home to get it. If your

car breaks down, you automatically call for help instead of having to walk to

find a pay phone. Cell phones have certainly made our lives much more

convenient.

Cell phones have also changed the way that people interact with each other.

When we call someone, we are actually calling the person and not a place. This

enables us to be more spontaneous when making plans as you rarely get a busy

signal and unlike a land line telephone, someone is always home. Cell phones

also enable us to call if we are going to be late for an appointment, although

this has led to cell phone users running late more often than those who do not

have cell phones. These users seem to have adopted the attitude that appointment

times are not concrete and use their cell phones to renegotiate their arrival

time.

One of the greatest disadvantages of the cellular phone is the fact that we

do not talk to strangers when traveling anymore. In the past, several people

waiting for a bus would engage in a conversation while they were waiting. People

who traveled the same routes every day might develop friendships along the way.

This situation does not happen anymore. Today when people are waiting for a bus,

they just pull out their cell phones and speak with old friends, missing out on

the opportunity to make new ones. In large cities, many people do not know their

neighbors, even though they may have lived in the same neighborhood for years.

As a society, we are beginning to lose the face-to-face contact that was such an

important part of our lives in the past.

Cell phones are a great asset in aiding in our every day lives. You should

remember, however, to hang up every once in a while and pay attention to the

world around you.
