我的影子英文诗(精选20篇)

Its very important for us to protect the environment. All of us want to live in a better place, so its our duty to beautfy the environment. As a senior high school student, we should do something.

Above all, we should never throw rubbish ourself. We must keep this rule, and then influence the others. Whats more, we should care more about the environment. For instance, we should read newspapers about the globle environment problems and think deep about them. Last but not the least, we ought to promote the importance of protecting the environment. In this way, we can call on more and more people to join us.

Lets take actions as soon as possible! Lets protect the earth, and live a better environment.

As we all know， the environmentaround us is getting worse and worse . In

some places we can’t see fishswimming in the river or trees on the hills. Not

only does it affect our lives and health， but also has a great affection in the

future. So I thinkwe must do something to protect the environment. .But what can

we do?

Now green commuting and a low-carbon life are more and morepopular in the

society .For example，we can go to school on foot or by bike ， we can use

shopping baskets notplastic bags when we go shopping and we can use both sides

of the paper when wewrite .

In a word ，if everyonepays more attention to(makes a contribution to) our

environment ，there will be less pollution and our lives will be better.

now let me tell you a little bit about myself.i am from jiangxi province . there are four members in my family,my parents,my elder sister and i. i am always a energetic and enthusiastic person that have many hobbies .well ,i am fond of all kinds of outdoor activities such as playing tennis , doing some physicalsports and so on.

On March 8th, 1975, the United Nation started to celebrate the International Women’s Day. In China, the women’s day also called “March 8th”day. Why we celebrate women’s day? There is a long story.

On March 8th, 1909, the Women’s Union of Chicago demonstrated against the inequality between men and women. They demanded that they should have the same payments, the same working hours as men had, and they should have the rights to vote. They even put forward a slogan: Bread and Rose, which stood for equal payment and a better living standard. This demonstrated had caused international attention to the women’s rights. A year later, a critical meeting was held in Demark, in order to promote the women’s liberation and equal rights, the council members decided to establish the Women’s Day on March 8th. Then March 8th, 1911 just became the first Women’s day.

In our country, during the women’s day, the women usually have a day-off holiday. The communities or companies will organize the recreational activities such as a spring outing, a nice dinner and some extra welfare. On this special day, the women can really realize that a woman’s value is not only giving birth to a child, doing endless housework, but also find her own status in the modern society. That is she can make a different. She can do everything that a man can do. When you look around, you will find that more and more women are acting as scientists, doctors, lawyers, even leaders. Just try to remember, women rule half of this world. The life could quite different without their wisdom and beauty.

Happy International Women’s Day!

From ancient times to the present, the war continues, what causes the war? Resources, territory, property have become the main cause of the war.

In 1937, Japan launched a war against China. The reason is very simple. Japan is an island country with poor resources, and is at the junction of the Pacific and Eurasian plates. Earthquakes, volcanoes and tsunamis make the Japanese people feel fear and uneasiness. In a word, a lot of people are at risk of sinking at any time in a overloaded ship. So Japan wants to expand its territory and point its spearhead to China.

After the end of the two world, Japan is a defeated country, forcing Japan to sign the "Peace Constitution", not allowing Japan to own its own army, but to have defensive weapons, so the Japanese army is the self defense force.

In Sino Japanese peaceful exchanges, the two countries economy has been developing by leaps and bounds. After the Japanese nuclear disaster, the Japanese economy almost collapsed, and China pulled the Japanese economy out of the mire. Peaceful development is good for every country, but in April 2012, when Shintaro Ishihara spoke in the US in Tokyo, Japan suddenly threw aside the topic of Japanese governments purchase of the Diaoyu Islands. In fact, Shintaro Ishihara bought the Diaoyu Island for his son, Ishihara Nobuhirono, to run for the Democratic Party. I hate him, because I think Shintaro Ishihara is too selfish to push the topic to the Japanese government for his son.

Ishihara also donated money from the Japanese people to the government, and Fukuda Kahiko could not force it. The government had to stand, or cant cross national front. This irresponsible attitude has made the two sides start to go to zero. If China really began to use economic means, actually, though Japan suffered serious losses, Chinas losses were also great.

Yes, Chinas national strength has risen, but under the conditions of peace, the development of China is so fast. If the Chinese and Japanese War, only 50% of Chinas chance to win. Although Japan is only a self-defense force, its military force is far greater than China.

So, I love peace, and I want to appeal to other people to love peace. We all hope for peace. So I hope that Japan will come back to the track of peace negotiations. Only in this way will Asia peace, and the friendship between countries and countries!

Today, my parents took me to mygrandfathers home. I talked with my

grandfather for a little while and then Iplayed with my brothers and sisters.

After a while, my elderly brothersuggested going to the park and having a rest.

"Thats a good idea." I said.Then we prepared for the outing. However, after

lunch, the sky turned dark andrained heavily. Therefore, our plan was an

impossible due to the bad weather.How pity it was! All the afternoon, we could

only have fun in house. We playedcards, watched TV and played computer games. We

were happy, but we still hopedthat we can go out next time.

曾几何时，我还是一个特别胆小的孩子，每逢人迹罕至的僻巷，尤其是看见那一团黑色的像人一样形状却又像鬼一样跟着你的影子，我总会被吓得大哭。于是乎，那一团黑色的人形怪物便成了幼年的我心中最深的恐惧，那时的我惧怕影子，总把它当作是鬼魂的象征。

稍大了一些，我明白了一些事理，也明白了影子形成的真正原由，可心中经年积攒的惧意，哪里是那么容易消除。每次见到影子，我仍会下意识的躲避，与影子同行，总是那么令人恐慌。

正是出于对影子的恐慌，那时的我总喜欢和同学一起走路，走在喧嚣的街道上，那里没有影子。

直到那一天，母亲让我独自去买一瓶牛奶，我望向街道上看不到头的黑暗，向母亲祈求着陪伴，可她却将我推了出去，“咚”的一声，门关上了。

一路跑到街上，平日里人来人往的大街，却是那么冷静，没有一个行人，街上静悄悄的，竟能听见远处鸟叫的声音。惨白的月光无声地落在大街上，投下一个人形的影子，我望着那个影子，那个漆黑的影子，心里存着畏惧，迈着颤抖的脚走了几步，却发现影子一直跟在身后，未曾走开，我多年对影子的恐惧终于爆发了出来，心跳突然加速，拔腿跑了起来，向着远处跑去。

不停跑着，耳旁呼啸过风声，我回头看去，地上的影子也狂奔着，一直跟着我，像索命的鬼魂一样紧追不舍。我望向前方的黑暗，深感着无助与恐惧。终于，“哇”的一声，眼泪从我的眼中奔涌而出，一股股，落在向我狂奔而来的影子上。那与影子同行所带来的恐惧，我至今仍不能忘记。

我已不记得是怎么到小店的了，只记得到那里时，我已哭的不成样子。店里的人像看见了疯子一样看向我，我掏出那张被紧紧握在手心被恐惧的泪水浸透了的纸币，递了出去。

我看到那张纸币上，漆黑的一团，是那令我恐惧的影子。

出来店门，仍是那清皎的月光，影子却到了我的前面，我向前走去，想要将那影子——那令人恐惧的影子踩在脚下，可它却快速的向前一闪，躲过了我的那一脚。我少年时代好胜心被激了起来，不断的向前，一步步迈出，却又一脚脚踩空，我甚至小跑了起来，只是为了去追那影子。那时，我似是忘了影子给我带来的恐惧，只是把它当做一个玩伴，与它同行，与它玩耍，不知不觉中，我已到了家。

望向身后漆黑的大街，又望向身前那漆黑的影子，我笑了，那一次，我第一回体会到了与影子同行的乐趣。

那以后，我对影子的恐惧也日益减少，渐渐的我也似乎发现了一个诀窍：走在灯光前面，可以让影子投在身体的前面，就可以体会到那夜追影子的乐趣，反之，影子会跟在你的身后，像鬼魂一般，令你感到恐惧。

生活中的有些人，有些事不正如这影子一样吗？如果你走在后面，他们就会追着你，就会鞭策，会逼迫着你前行，哪怕你不愿意。相反，如果你走在前面，他们也会在你前面，引领着你，在不知不觉中快乐地一步步走向远方。与其被影子追，为何不努力让影子被自己追？

我突然爱上了与影子同行，放学后，我不在和同学去那样喧嚣的大街，那里的人们，眼中大都只有眼前的花红酒绿，在那里，人们看不到自己的影子。

那么不妨走到幽巷中，在深夜里，让自己沐浴在月华中，看着眼前的影子，同它说说心里话，循着它的脚步，走向心中的远方。

与影子同行，真的挺好。

I had an unforgettable birthday party when I was thirteen years old. Before

that, I had never invited my friends to my birthday party and it was my first

time to do that. When the party began, we had chocolate and juice at home and we

played a funny game. My friends gave me a lot of gifts, I liked them very much.

Later we went to a restaurant and had a big dinner. I had a birthday cake with

thirteen candles. I blew out them. My friends said, “Happy birthday to you!” I

was so excited. I cut the cake into pieces and gave them to everyone. I did not

do well in it, but we laughed and laughed. We were happy that day.

Money doesn’t mean everything, but friendship can make us happy. I can’t

forget that birthday party and I miss my friends very much.

影子也许是太阳寄给大地的思念，可我想影子就是千千万万个自己，亦有你竭尽全力的模样，影子背后都承载着无数美好岁月。

你也受过很多伤吧，就像深夜里倦缩在街角的流浪汉，也正因为他们拥有一个勇敢无畏的影子，所以他们不曾害怕夜里出动的毒蛇。而他们的影子经历了无数个夜晚已经遍体鳞伤了，可就是因为它们只是微不足道的影子啊，受再深的伤，流再多的泪也不会有人心疼。

你也经历无数风霜吧，你犹犹豫豫不敢迈出第一步，仿佛前方是陡峭的悬崖，后方是深不可测的峡谷，轻轻一动，便坠于其中，只得，一等再等。某一天，风霜又起，你连打个哆嗦都小心翼翼。而你的影子却从不觉得去南方就能躲过风霜。他大步向前跨去，和你年轻时一样潇洒。

你也走了很远的路吧，一个人在长长的人生跑道上追逐想梦想的样子才是最令人为之感动的。你影子用力追赶着你的脚步，尽管前方有磨脚的鞋和要走的路，也就请勇敢一点吧。这样，脚下那双磨脚的鞋也显得有力得多。

你的影子不离不弃，陪你历过人生许多岁月。陪亦笑过，陪你哭过，以后还得陪你走完剩下的岁月，它也会弯老，请在还有能力蹲下来抚摸它的时候多说几句“谢谢”。别等到八十岁坐在轮椅上时才懂得微笑，年老的双腿已无能力蹲下只得暗自流泪。

你的影子从不害怕，你的影子从不拒绝，你的影子从不说话，十七八岁的年龄，打个篮球也会嫌它碍事，它默默无言，只是陪你从幼儿到青春中年到老直至死亡。我们不曾知道他从哪里来，我们应该知道的是要蹲下来说“谢谢”。

于是，你的影子承载着无数岁月呼啸而来，是你一生都读不完的书卷。

To end our special news bulletin, said the voice of the television announcer, we‘re going over to the macaroni fields of Calabria. Macaroni has been grown in this area for over six hundred years. Two of the leading growers, Giuseppe Moldova and Riccardo Brabante, tell me that they have been expecting a splendid crop this year and harvesting has begun earlier than usual. Here you can see two workers who, between them, have just finished cutting three cartloads of golden brown macaroni stalks. The whole village has been working day and night gathering and threshing this year‘s crop before the September rains. On the right, you can see Mrs. Brabante herself. She has been helping her husband for thirty years now. Mrs. Brabante is talking to the manager of the local factory where the crop is processed. This last scene shows you what will happen at the end of the harvest: the famous Calabrian macaroni-eating competition! Signor Fratelli, the present champion, has won it every year since 1991. And that ends our special bulletin for today, Thursday, April lst. We‘re now going back to the studio.

[关于愚人节的英文作文

这是一部令人为之动容的温情疗愈小说，这是一本被媒体惊叹销售得比影子消失的速度还快的书，它便是——马克·李维的《偷影子的人》。

主人公在班级里年纪最小，因为视力比其他同学弱，生活缺少爸爸的陪伴与关爱，而饱受欺凌。然而这样一个弱小的普通男孩，却拥有一样不为人知的本事——“偷”影子。他可以通过人的影子倾听影子主人的真心话，探知他人灵魂深处最真实的情感和最隐秘的经历。这项本领就好像是读心术一样，可以照见人心。有着别人没有的异常禀赋，主人公也被所有影子赋予了一个伟大而神圣的职责——“为每一个你所偷来的影子找到点亮生命的小小光芒，为他们找回隐匿的记忆拼图，这便是我们对你的全部请托。”伴随着这样的使命的主人公慢慢长大了，而长大后的他，似乎慢慢褪去那层因为有这种特殊能力而产生的光圈。说到底，他也只是一个普通人，也会有疲惫、有烦恼、有悔恨……有各种平常人的喜怒哀乐。这样一个有血有肉的、情感丰富的人物形象贯穿整部小说，仿佛我们身边真的有这么一个人鲜活地存在着。

若说主人公的经历是骨架，那么关于亲情与爱情的描写便是小说的血肉。

作者对于亲情的描述展现了一种缺憾美。主人公过于纠结已失去的，比如过早离去的父亲；而没有去珍惜现在拥有的，比如对他倾注了深沉的爱、想要去弥补他的缺憾的母亲。人的一生，是一个不断失去的过程。逝去的就像流云，如果我们只盯着那些流逝的光影，就必然会错过眼前的美景。男孩心里满含着对母亲的爱却没有表达出来，他不知道的是，有的话，如果这一秒不说，等到了下一秒可能就没有机会了。成年之后的生活丰富多彩，工作充实。他已经习惯了母亲对他的关怀，却没有注意到时光一去无踪影，母亲已经渐渐老去。他知道了那么多秘密，帮助了那么多人，却惟独没有偷过母亲的影子，没有了解过母亲的心。百善孝为先，道理说出来很简单，但是做起来真的很难。成年之后的大部分人，为家庭，为爱人，为孩子付出心血，往往顾及不到老无所依的父母，真正懂得并做到乌鸦反哺的，又有几个呢？

关于对爱情波折又细腻的描绘，则是这个故事中的一抹亮色。主人公在很小的时候，曾经发出过疑问：“爱情，莫非像影子一样。有人踩中了，就带着离去？还是因为爱情跟影子一样怕光，又或者，情况正好相反，没有了光，爱情的影子就被拭去，最终黯然离去？”可当他遇到了克莱尔，遇到了苏菲，他的爱变得单纯美丽，却又难以抉择。在他放弃了一个近在咫尺的交往对象，按照本心去追逐一个童年开始的梦，不再忧心得失的时候，他才领会了爱的真谛。那个充满了不确定性的，却让他愿意舍弃一切去追寻的人，才是真正爱的人。

虽说“偷影子”是整部小说的线索和亮点所在，但作者真正的创作意图，是想通过讲述拥有奇特本领的主人公，这个因为亲情残缺、爱情受挫而带着点忧愁的小男孩的成长经历，告诉读者，只要我们真诚地去关心他人，设身处地地为他人着想，尽力帮助遇到困难的朋友的话，就算你没有偷影子的本领，你也可以走进别人的心里，得到他们的信任。用你的真心交换他人的真心，就这么简单。

处于成长过程中的我们，虽然年轻，但是却可能已经体会过世间冷暖。催人泪下的亲情、不离不弃的友情和浪漫感人的爱情，它们时而使我们温暖如春，时而使我们寒彻骨髓。它们交织在一起，这便是酸甜苦辣的生活。

有这样一本书，它唤起我童年记忆，它提醒我珍惜当下，它教会我将心比心，它告诉我勿忘初心，它就是——《偷影子的人》。

People are happy when the Spring Festival comes, but do you know the origin of Spring Festival? If you dont know, just listen to me.

Legend has it that in the ancient times, there was a vicious monster, a large body, a horn with horns, and a big mouth. This monster is called nian.

At that time, there were two children, ashan and water. They were good friends. They were very brave. They often drove their cattle to the hillside to eat grass. The family said to them: "there is a year in the mountains.

"Not afraid." Ashan and water have their own minds.

That said, they went up a couple of times, but luckily they didnt touch nian. The weather turned yellow. Ah shan, water drive the cattle to come home with a monster. That was the year. The whip made a noise from the mountain, and the year, when he heard the torsion, he saw the red clothes on the water run faster.

Ah shan, ah water sees this all clear, return to the village, they say to others: year afraid of red afraid to ring, these are its weak points. We dont have to worry about it.

From then on, people wear red clothes on the twelfth lunar month, some firecrackers, and this time is called "New Year".

It is difficult for people to achieve professional success without sacrificing important aspects of a fulfilling personal life.

Discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the opinion slated above. Support your views with reasons and/or examples from your own experience, observations, or reading.

Are professional success and a fulfilling personal life mutually exclusive? Probably not, although it is more difficult today to achieve both.

Undeniably, todays professionals must work long hours to keep their heads above water, let alone to get ahead in life financially. This is especially true in Japan, where cost of living, coupled with corporate culture, compel professional males to all but abandon their families and literally to work themselves to death. While the situation here in the states may not be as critical, the two-income family is now the norm, not by choice but by necessity.

However, our societys professionals are taking steps to remedy the problem. First, they are inventing ways such as job sharing and telecommuting to ensure that personal life does not take a back seat to career. Second, they are setting priorities and living those hours outside the workplace to their fullest. In fact, professional success usually requires the same time-management skills that are useful to find time for family, hobbies, and recreation. One need only look at the recent American presidents-Clinton, Bush, Reagan and Carter- to see that it is possible to lead a balanced life which includes time for family, hobbies, and recreation, while immersed in a busy and successful career. Third, more professionals are changing careers to ones which allow for some degree of personal fulfillment and self-actualization. Besides, many professionals truly love their work and would do it without compensation, as a hobby. For them, professional and personal fulfillments are one and the same.

Thanksgiving Day is a harvest festival. Traditionally, it is a time to give thanks for the harvest and expressgratitude in general. It is a holidaycelebrated primarily in Canada and the United States. While perhaps religious in origin, Thanksgiving is now primarily identified as a secular holiday.

The date and location of the first Thanksgiving celebration is a topic of modest contention. Though the earliest attested Thanksgiving celebration was on

September 8, 1565 in what is now Saint Augustine, Florida[1][2], the traditional "first Thanksgiving" is venerated as having occurred at the site of Plymouth Plantation, in 1621.

Today, Thanksgiving is celebrated on the second Monday of October in Canada and on the fourth Thursday of November in the United States. Thanksgiving dinner is held on this day, usually as a gathering of family members and friends.

Thanksgiving Dayin America is a time to offer thanks, of family gatherings and holidaymeals. A time of turkeys, stuffing, and pumpkin pie. A time for Indian corn, holiday parades and giantballoons.

在美国，感恩节是一个感谢恩赐，家庭团聚，合家欢宴的日子；是一个家家餐桌上都有火鸡、填料、南瓜馅饼的日子；是一个充满了印第安玉米、假日游行和巨型气球的日子。

Thanksgiving is celebrated on the 4th Thursday of November, which this year (2005) is November 24th.

每年十一月的最后一个星期四是感恩节，在今年（2005）则是11月24日。下面让我们来看看感恩节的由来吧：

The Pilgrims who sailed to this country aboard the Mayflower were originally members of the English Separatist Church (a Puritan sect). They had earlier fled their home in England and sailed to Holland (The Netherlands) to escape religious persecution. There, they enjoyed more religious tolerance, but they eventually became disenchantedwith the Dutch way of life, thinking it ungodly. Seeking a better life, the Separatists negotiated with a London stock company to finance a pilgrimage to America. Most of those making the trip aboard the Mayflower were non-Separatists, but were hired to protect the companys

interests. Only about one-third of the original colonists were Separatists.

乘"五月花"来到这个国度的旅行者（朝圣者）原本是英国分离者地下x会清教徒，他们的家在英国，因不堪忍受国内的宗教迫害，他们逃亡到荷兰。在荷兰，他们享受了更多的宗教信仰自由，但最终却意识到在荷兰的这种生活方式是对他们的主的亵渎。为了寻求更好的生活，他们与伦敦贸易公司协商，由该公司资助他们到美国。在这趟旅途中，船上只有大约1/3的乘客是清教徒，其他大多数人并非分离派清教徒，而是公司雇佣来保护其利益的人员（契约奴）。

The Pilgrims set ground at Plymouth Rock on December 11, 1620. Their first winter was devastating. At the beginning of the following fall, they had lost 46 of the original 102 who sailed on the Mayflower. But the harvest of 1621 was a bountiful one. And the remaining colonists decided to celebrate with a feast -- including 91 Indians who

had helped the Pilgrims survive their first year. It is believed that the Pilgrims would not have made it through the year without the help of the natives. The feast was more of a traditional English harvest festival than a true "thanksgiving" observance. It lasted three days.

1620年12月11日，旅行者们在"普利茅斯石"登陆。他们的第一个冬季是灾难性的，第二年秋天来临时，原来的102名乘客只剩下56人。但1621年他们获得了大丰收，这些幸存的殖民者们决定和帮助他们度过困难的91名印第安人一起飨宴庆祝。他们相信，若没有当地居民的帮助，他们是不可能度过这一年的。这次节日的盛宴不仅仅是一个"感恩"仪式，它更像英国传统的丰收庆典。庆典持续了三天。

Governor William Bradford sent "four men fowling" after wild ducks and geese. It is not certain that wild turkey was part of their feast. However, it is certain that they had venison. The term "turkey" was used by the Pilgrims to mean any sort of wild fowl.

总督布雷德福派了“四人捕鸟队”去捕捉野鸭和野鹅。我们现在并不能确定是否有野生火鸡在当时的筵席上，但筵席上肯定有鹿肉。当时，朝圣者用 "火鸡"一词来代表各种野禽。

Another modern staple at almost every Thanksgiving table is pumpkin pie. But it is unlikely that the first feast included that treat. The supply of flour had been long diminished, so there was no bread or pastries of any kind. However, they did eat boiled pumpkin, and they produced a type of fried bread from their corn

crop. There was also no milk, cider, potatoes, or butter. There was no

domestic cattle for dairy products, and the newly-discovered potatowas still considered by many Europeans to be poisonous. But the feast did include fish, berries, watercress, lobster, dried fruit, clams, venison, and plums.

现在，几乎每家感恩节餐桌上都有南瓜馅饼――感恩节的另一种主食。但在当年的第一次庆典上却不可能有这种食品。因为面粉奇缺，所以面包、馅饼、糕点等食物都没有。但他们却吃了煮南瓜，并用收获的玉米制成了一种油炸面包。也没有牛奶、苹果酒、土豆和黄油。没有驯养的奶牛，自然没有牛奶；而新发现的土豆被很多欧洲人认为是有毒的。第一次庆典上有鱼、草莓、豆瓣菜、龙虾、干果、蛤、鹿肉、李子等。

This "thanksgiving" feast was not repeated the following year. But in 1623, during a severe drought, the pilgrims gathered in a prayer service, praying for rain. When a long, steady rain followed the very next day, Governor Bradford proclaimed another dayof Thanksgiving, again inviting their Indian friends. It wasnt until June of 1676 that another Day of Thanksgiving was proclaimed.

紧接着的第二年(1622)却没有举行"感恩"庆典。到了1623年，发生了一场严重的旱灾，朝圣者们聚集到一起，举行了虔诚的祁雨仪式，刚好在第二天，一场充沛的大雨从天而降。威廉布雷德福总督宣布再次庆祝感恩节，并再次邀请了他们的印第安朋友。之后数年无感恩节，直到1676年6月，感恩节才再次被提出。 每年11月的第四个星期四是感恩节 (Thanksgiving Day) 。感恩节是美国人民独创的一个古老节日，也是美国人合家欢聚的节日，因此美国人提起感恩节总是倍感亲切。

感恩节的由来要一直追溯到美国历史的发端。1620年，著名的“五月花”号船满载不堪忍受英国国内宗教迫害的清教徒102人到达美洲。1620年和1621年之交的冬天，他们遇到了难以想象的困难，处在饥寒交迫之中，冬天过去时，活下来的移民只有50来人。这时，心地善良的印第安人给移民送来了生活必需品，还特地派人教他们怎样狩猎、捕鱼和种植玉米、南瓜。在印第安人的帮助下，移民们终于获得了丰收，在欢庆丰收的日子，按照宗教传统习俗，移民规定了感谢上帝的日子，并决定为感谢印第安人的真诚帮助，邀请他们一同庆祝节日。

在第一个感恩节的这一天，印第安人和移民欢聚一堂，他们在黎明时鸣放礼炮，列队走进一间用作教堂的屋子，虔诚地向上帝表达谢意，然后点起篝火举行盛大宴会。第二天和第三天又举行了摔跤、赛跑、唱歌、跳舞等活动。第一个感恩节非常成功。其中许多庆祝方式流传了300多年，一直保留到今天。

初时感恩节没有固定日期，由各州临时决定。直到美国独立后的1863年，林肯总统宣布感恩节为全国性节日

It is really my honor to have this opportunity for an interview,

I hope i can make a good performance today. Im confident that I can succeed.

Now i will introduce myself briefly

I spend most of my time on study,i have passed CET4/6 . and i have acquired basic knowledge of my major during my school time.

In July xx, I began work for a small private company as a technical support engineer in QingDao city.Because Im capable of more responsibilities, so I decided to change my job. And in August xx,I left QingDao to BeiJing and worked for a foreign enterprise as a automation software test engineer.Because I want to change my working environment, Id like to find a job which is more challenging. Morover Motorola is a global company, so I feel I can gain the most from working in this kind of company ennvironment. That is the reason why I come here to compete for this position.

I think Im a good team player and Im a person of great honesty to others. Also I am able to work under great pressure.

That’s all. Thank you for giving me the chance.

My favorite Sports is basketball. It looks so cool in TV that I was crazy

about those basketball stars ever since I was little.

Basketball requires speed, height and skills. I run, jump, switch, and try

to hit! All parts of my body are exercised in this sport. I feel that I’m like

wind flying in the playground for my goal, which makes me feel so GREat!

Basketball needs quick reaction and decision. When chance comes, it may

disappear in the next second. I should keep an eye watching as an eagle, decide

and judge quickly as a leopard, and run for it as a wolf.

Further more, basketball is a sports more than just exercising, It needs

team work. No one can play himself. A team should work together. So I learn to

cooperate with others in this game. I should understand what my teammate doing

and what he needs me to do for him. On the other side, I should learn to show my

teammate what I need. At the same time, I need to keep an eye on the whole game,

knowing how is the situation of our team and how is the other team. It involved

more cooperation and strategy.

I played basketball more for about 5 years now. I make many good friends

throught this sports. It is proud to win honor for my team and my school. Also I

enjoy all games with my friends. Basketball will be my best friends in the

future and my best memory about school life.
