Our English Teacher Our English teacher， Ms Huang， came to our school in 1970.

She has been an English teacher for more than 30 years.

She works hard and has been a model teacher for many years. She is kind and friendly to us after class， but She is rather strict with us in class.

She always encourages us to speak and read more English.

She often says，"Practice makes perfect." She is good at teaching and tries her best to make every lesson lively and interesting.

She often gives us slide shows， teaches us English songs and helps us to put on short English playS. She is not only our teacher but also our friend.

We all respect and love her. Tomorrow she is going to attend an important meeting， at which she will be given a medal for her advanced deeds.

影子是你也是我。

她在光的照耀下出现，在黑暗的地方隐藏，她本是最善良的天使，可却无人倾听她的秘密。太阳升耀，我走在小路上，听着麻雀儿的啼唱，她就跟在我身后，默默地，无声地。有时，她也会壮着胆子跑到我身前，再悄悄地回去。她知道我心中的秘密，她懂得我说不出的忧伤；当我，开心时，她也在愉愉地为我高兴，我孤独时，只是她和微光在陪伴着我。

她是我最忠诚的伙伴，她是另一个我。“影子，你好吗？”她不会回答，她只是微笑，仿佛在倾诉，又好像在告诉我：“不用担心”。我们是知己，相互偷偷地交换着不可告人的小烦恼，小确幸。影子是光明的使者，却又甘愿作暗的翅膀。夜幕开始降临，鸟儿不歌唱了，因为它累了，影子也渐渐消失了，她要和我告别了。“别走！”我轻唤一声，她又趁着微弱的月光钻出来，对我轻轻地说，再见。我落寞地靠在床头，沉思：太阳温暖吗？不，很可怕。只不过离我们比较远罢了；黑暗可怕吗？不，它们不过是一群“她”落寞地聚在一起，不过是想受到尊敬与爱戴罢了。

人啊，就是这样。不需要时，对她们感到厌恶；孤单时，她们还是微笑着拥抱你。反反复复，她们也会累的呀。所以，答应我好吗？请好好善待这群可爱的影子。

深夜了，我回到被窝，轻轻对她说声：晚安。

Christmas morning, mother put three pieces of beautiful gifts in my bed, Santa Claus, tabour, star bar.

Santa Claus has a white beard. He is wearing a red dress and a cute little red cap. He stands on a big lychee and he also writes "marrychristmas" in English. A sparkling drum can use two sticks to my drum. What I like most is the magic star stick, with a star glittering and a bright bar below. This reminds me of Cinderellas old ladys star stick, a wave of pumpkin, a horse drawn carriage, a wave of rats, and a new wave of Cinderellas ragged clothes. Do you say the stars are fantastic? Im so happy with a star stick. When I go to bed, it can make a lot of things I like.

The winter is beautiful and cold.

At noon it suddenly started to snow, a campus everywhere is the white one, the students in the playground snowball snowman. Have a great time. Watching them happy, I also itch, also joined the game.

The hand was red with cold, and the shoes were half wet, only happy and happy.

爱藏在影子里。

——题记

有时候，我躺在床上，雪白的天花板，墨黑的影子。我的脸笼罩在阴稠的影子里，我盯着影子，渐渐看了进去，我感觉不到任何暖意，脊背一寸寸凉了起来……

我看见放学时的我见到母亲，相视无言。

我看见父母接送我时，车上寂静得叫人后怕的空气。

我看见愤怒的母亲指着我，不停地责骂。

我看见暴躁的父亲对我大打出手，我无力反抗却心怀忿恨。

我仿佛还看见周围形形色色的人都盯着我，眼中只有无尽的黑暗，如同深潭又如同……影子。

我闭上眼睛，影子就缓缓将我包围，仿佛一个巨大的漩涡，而我在其中翻滚，旋转。我感觉到了刺骨的冷，仿佛一根根冰针扎在我身上……

然后一种始料不及的温暖，让影子的漩涡变得厚重，有温度起来。一股暖流包围着我，冰冷和麻木烟消云散，仿佛那只是错觉。我看向影子后的温暖，仿佛层层乌云后的阳光，绚烂夺目。

一个影子在我放学前一个小时，不管刮风还是下雨都会在校门口驻足等待。

一个影子，每天都会在我起床前准备好早餐，准时叫我起床，送我上学。

一个影子，即使工作繁忙，也会推掉所有应酬驱车赶回家，陪我度过一个个周末。

一个影子，在我睡着后给我盖好被子，温暖我冻得冰凉的手脚。

无数温暖的影子冲破了黑雾闪耀起来，瞬间，最后残存的冰冷一一散去。影子闪着耀眼的光芒，盘旋在我周围，就如同一个爱的包围。我欣喜地奔向那温暖的光芒之处……

猛地，我醒了。身上是我睡着后母亲为我盖上的被子，温暖而舒适。

阳光透过窗户在木地板上投射出斑驳的光影，就如同生命中一个个爱的影子交织在一起，伴随着我们成长，老去。

In school,I work very hard and I rank in the top of my class.Therefore,my classmates would like to ask me some questions about study when they do not ask for teachers.I like helping others.Firstly,when others need help,I want to give them a hand.They come to me,because they trust me.

This makes me happy.Secondly,I can get help from others,too.Once you did some favors to them,they are more likely to help you.Finally,helping others is helping myself,too.When I solve problems,I get improvement at the same time.

对于中国考生来说，英文写作一直是最为头疼的事情之一。那么考生为什么会畏惧英文表达呢？为什么有些考生背了一两万个单词却仍然写不出好的文章呢？找到了这一系列问题的答案，就真正抓住了提高写作能力的关键。

英文写作困境可以归纳为三类：

困境1：面对一个题目，根本无话可说，即便用中文，也写不出内容。

困境2：有话可说，有内容可写，但英文表达支离破碎，完全不能用英文阐释清楚自己的观点。

困境3：有话说，也能用英文表达出要表达的意思，但写出来的语言“满篇尽带Chinglish（中式英语）”。

那么该如何走出困境，真正并有针对性地提高语言表达能力呢？答案很简单，只有两个字——素材！

面对一个话题，考生之所以无法写出连贯的文字，是因为缺少写作素材。那么素材是什么呢？其实也就是我们所说的“言之有物”中的“物”。无论是四、六级写作，还是考研写作，或是雅思、托福、GRE、GMAT、SAT写作，考生之所以无法取得高分，根本原因在于其日常积累的英文论证素材以及论据素材过于贫乏，根本无法将零星散落于大脑各个角落不成体系的素材组合起来，形成一篇逻辑严密、语言优美地道的文章。因此，英文素材的积累和素材库的建立可以真正帮助中国英语学习者和广大英语考生提高写作能力，走出英文表达困境。

正如前面所提到的，英语写作素材包含两类：一类是论证素材，即对于论点进行理论分析的素材。例如：论证竞争机制的重要性、论证环境保护的必要性、论证艺术的价值等。一类是论据素材，即可支持论点的相关事例。例如：“钻石教父”雷维夫与DeBeers公司的竞争促进了整个钻石行业的发展这一事例，可用来支持“竞争机制的重要性”的论证；引用美国政府参与环境保护的例子可佐证“环境保护的必要性”；贝多芬、巴赫、凡高的例子可说明伟大的艺术家们的艺术作品是如何推动人类文明发展的，并用以例证“艺术的价值”。

其实，只要多掌握适用于写作测试的英文写作素材（论证素材+论据素材），就已经为写出有理有据的文章打下了良好的基础，这也是写作的前提。因为，任何语言学习，或者说任何学习过程，都遵循“输入—输出”模式。如果没有输入，则永远不可能有输出；若没有好的输入，则永远不可能有好的输出。因此，语言学习有一条永恒不变的真理：不听永远不会说，不读永远不会写。这里的“听”和“读”就是输入环节，“说”和“写”就是输出环节；只有输入了好的英文素材，才能在需要的地方进行输出。

Sometimes, people say, "this kid is as smart as a monkey", but people may not notice that cats are smarter than monkeys, especially when they are catching food.

The other is to rely on domestic animal owners to send food, and a big cat is my grandma feeds and they are not the same, it is not good to eat, not to eat food to capture. Is the best cat stole the fish, when it is in the night, with its feet to soundless and stirless action, it unnoticed to others, that night the glowing eyes and the nose to find the target, with the sudden speed, catch, immediately cautiously without any noise. Run away, then, find a quiet place to enjoy.

Stole the fish just a small cat to catch mice is the ability, its strengths, cats carefully came to the place where the mouse it feels, quietly, still waiting, as long as the sight of a mouse, the cat will immediately and quickly flee in the past, sometimes just a mouse caught a tail, sometimes only catch mice, regardless of the outcome, there will still be waiting for the cat and mouse.

Sometimes the cat is really very boring, it will eat the wheat to attack the sparrow, saw the cat still like that stole the fish to go cautiously without any noise and small sparrow sparrow side, not the danger around it, then, all of a sudden forward toward a cat, a small sparrow is caught, in short, cat every time is 100% in the catch".

Ha ha, when capturing food, the cat is a "mysterious little Superman."".

Dear Mr. Brown,

yesterday morning, and I had to send her to hospital.

meet again. I hope to see you soon.

In the three days trip in Shenzhen， I was interested in the central and southern part of the city， which are the heavens for most visitors。

在深圳旅行的三天，我对市中心以及城市的南部感兴趣，这是对大多数游客的天堂。

I started my trip at the East Gate Shopping Mall。 This area is a fascinating shopping center。 On the two sides of the streets， there are different shops selling all kinds of commodities。 Almost everything was on sale， so I bought a lot of souvenirs for my friends。 After that， I went to visit Diwang Building， the symbol of Shenzhen。 It looks so tall and grand。 It has 69 storeys。 As you are on the top of the building， you can overlook the whole city。

我的旅程是在东门购物中心开始的。这是一个令人着迷的购物中心。在街道的两侧，在不同的商店里出售着各种各样的商品。几乎所有的东西都很便宜，所以我买了很多纪念品给我的朋友。在那之后，我去了地王大厦，那是深圳的象征。它看起来是那么的高大宏伟。它有69层。在楼房的顶部，你可以俯瞰整个城市。

Next morning， the sun smiled gently， so I went to Dameisha， the seashore of Shenzhen。 I swam in South China Sea and walked on the sandy beach。 It was so relaxing。 I moved on， stopping at Xiaomeisha， another beautiful seaside resort of the city。 There I just picked up some seashells and ate some delicious sea food。 In the late afternoon， I visited Zhong Ying Street， which is the landmark of Shenzhen and Hong Kong， so that I could enjoy an elegant picture of the exotic world。

第二天早晨，阳光很温和，所以我去了大梅沙，是深圳的海滨。我在中国的南海游泳，在沙滩上散步。令人感到如此的放松。我我继续往前进停在了小梅沙，它是这座城市的另一个漂亮的海滨度假村。在那里我只是捡了一些贝壳，吃了一些美味可口的海鲜。傍晚的时候，我去了中英街，它是深圳和香港的标志，所以我能享受到一张具有异国情调的世界的精美照片。

My final stop was the Gold Coast。 From there， I could see the high—rise buildings and skyscrapers of Hong Kong。 They look so modern。 It seemed like I entered into a foreign country。

我的最后一站是黄金海岸。从那里我可以看到高层建筑和香港的摩天大楼。他们看起来很现代。我好像是去到了国外。

After my three—day trip in Shenzhen， I left there with great lingers。 “How time flies when were having fun"， I said to myself。 I really didnt want to leave。 If one day I retired from work， I would buy a villa near the seashore in Shenzhen， so that I could always spend my happy time at the seaside。

在我为期三天的深圳旅行后，我恋恋不舍的离开了那里。“我们玩得很开心的时候时间过得真快”，我对自己说。我真的不想离开。如果有一天我退休了，我想在深圳附近的海边买一栋别墅，这样我就总可以在海边度过快乐的时光。

today is chinese new years eve, my family had a big family party at home. it was a chinese tradition that on new years eve we make dumplings together and have them around midnight. firstly, we prepared the pork mince and some vegetables for the dumplings.we also needed plenty of skins to make the dumplings. some of us were making the dumpling skins, others were mixing the mince and vegetables together. all of us were enjoying the process of making dumplings and chatting with each other. before midnight, when we heard the sound of new years bell, the dumplings were ready for us to eat. it was such a wonderful night!

今天是中国新年,我的家庭有一个大的家庭聚会在家里。这是一个中国的传统,新年前夜我们一起包饺子,让他们在午夜。首先,我们准备了猪肉饺子肉和一些蔬菜。我们也需要大量的皮饺子。我们中的一些人使饺皮,人肉和蔬菜混合在一起。我们都享受包饺子的过程和彼此聊天。在午夜之前,当我们听到新年的钟声,准备我们吃饺子。这是这样一个美妙的夜晚!

We can get a Chinese New Year lucky money every year,but not all the reasonable use of it.I will get a part of to my parents,the other one is by their own bank.My parents also support me to do so.

In my opinion,this is a reasonable approach.Because many peoples self-control is not good,if all the money on his own,it will quickly spend it.But if he do not have any money,and no way to buy want to buy things.Therefore,it is to help parents keep a part of the money,other part of the money to retain our hands.

If my parents deposit New Years money in the bank,Ill spend in college when it as my living expenses.

关于环卫工人的英文作文一

Each time I feel very emotional after reading the news about bad or unfair treatment towards city hygiene workers. On one hand, they have to suffer the poor working environment; on the other hand, they do not earn the respect from the society or public. It is a very sad fact in China, which is a wake-up call for us to face the situation in good manner. In my opinion, the education background differences outweigh other factors. People who are not well educated do not see the hardwork and uneasy life of those city beauty workers. All they care is their own feelings and interest. Moreover, if we do not appreciate or cherish others devotion to the city, the city as a mirror will reflect its bad side towards ourselves. Therefore, the public need to learn to respect and behave properly such as not throw about the garbage. In addition, the government should also make its efforts to improve the treatment of those sanitation workers as well as set up a good example in the public.

To be a sanitation worker can never be considered as a decent job in peoples eyes, especially in China. A story of Sanmao, a Taiwanese author, described that she wanted to be a garbabge collector and she wrote this in her homework in her elementary school but teasing and objection came from her teacher and classmates. There is nothing wrong about a childish girls idea, and she thought that job could provide the most freedom. But this reflect the obvious discrimination. However, there is a dustman in my department. Everyone says hello, chats, jokes, and respects him as respect any other professors and students because people dont see differences between jobs.

没了你，我将是孤魂野鬼，可有了你，我不孤独。生命才完整。 ——题记

我背上种种的行囊，满载这父母的期望。生活和学习压得我好辛苦，我好想休息一下，人生怎么那么难过。

可就在这时我的好朋友—影子，走了过来，它用脚轻轻拍了我的肩，“朋友，这没什么，你不行了，还有我呢。”

我与影子同行已有十几年了。世间的俗尘，一路上的峰回路转，悲喜交加，困难重重，我惊叹不已！可影子你只是张张嘴，不见声。仿佛想让我明白，满世界的泡沫只是在一瞬间，要把委屈的泪水流在心里，这样才会有动力！影子，在记忆中，你可真是位好老师啊！

我与影子同行，我们变成了一把剪刀。我们双剑合璧，要把梦想的丝绸剪的如诗如画，巧夺天工，就要理清现实。影子它告诉我，“现实就是努力和坚持。”

我与影子一起追逐相同的梦想，即使时光就在我的眼皮底下匆匆流过。

我与影子同行，变成了一双筷子。我在前，你在后，我在左，而影子你在右。我们一起夹起白天与黑夜，品尝生活的美味。

记忆中的影子是我的好老师又是我的好兄弟。

我与影子相互配合，想和依赖。

有你真好，影子！天已将至三更，累了就别为我拼命了，早点睡吧。明天有更好的太阳在等着我们呢。

The Culture of China is home to one of the worlds oldest and most complex civilizations. China boasts a history rich in over 5,000 years of artistic, philosophical, political, and scientific advancement. Though regional differences provide a sense of diversity, commonalities in language and religion connect a culture distinguished by such significant contributions such as Confucianism and Taoism. Confucianism was the official philosophy throughout most of Imperial Chinas history and strongly influenced other countries in East Asia. Mastery of Confucian texts provided the primary criterion for entry into the imperial bureaucracy.

With the rise of Western economic and military power beginning in the mid-19th century, Western systems of social and political organization gained adherents in China. Some of these would-be reformers rejected Chinas cultural legacy, while others sought to combine the strengths of Chinese and Western cultures.

China is a unified nation consisting of many different ethnic groups. Fifty-six different ethnic groups make up the great Chinese national family. Because the Han people accounts for more than ninety percent of Chinas population, the remaining fifty-five groups are generally referred to as "ethnic minorities." Next to the majority Han, the Mongolian, Hui, Tibetan, and Uygur peoples comprise the largest ethnic groups. Although Chinas ethnic minorities do not account for a large portion of the population, they are distributed over a vast area, residing in every corner of China.

Particularly since the implementation of Chinas opening and reform policy, the central government has increased investment in minority areas and accelerated their opening to the outside world. This has resulted in an upsurge of economic development in these areas. Each of Chinas ethnic minority groups possesses a distinctive culture. The Chinese government respects minority customs, and works to preserve, study, and collate the cultural artifacts of Chinas ethnic minority groups. The government vigorously supports the development of minority culture and the training of minority cultural workers, and fosters the development of traditional minority medicine.

The relation among Chinas ethnic groups can be described as "overall integration, local concentration, mutual interaction." Concentrations of ethnic minorities reside within predominantly Han areas, and the Han people also reside in minority areas, indicating that there has been extensive exchanges among Chinas ethnic groups since ancient times. With the development of the market economy, interaction among ethnic groups has become even more active in the areas of government, economics, culture, daily life, and marriage. Linked by interdependence, mutual assistance, and joint development, their common goals and interests creating a deep sense of solidarity, Chinas ethnic groups resemble a great national family, together building Chinese civilization.
