英语作文《我的家乡》60词（实用20篇）

There are still many problems of environmental protection in recent years.

One of the most serious problems is the serious pollution of air, water and

soil. the polluted air does great harm to people’s health. The polluted water

causes diseases and death. What is more, vegetation had been greatly reduced

with the rapid growth of modern cities.

To protect the environment, governments of many countries have done a lot.

Legislative steps have been introduced to control air pollution, to protect the

forest and sea resources and to stop any environmental pollution. Therefore,

governments are playing the most important role in the environmental protection

today.

In my opinion, to protect environment, the government must take even more

concrete measures. First, it should let people fully realize the importance of

environmental protection through education. Second, much more efforts should be

made to put the population planning policy into practice, because more people

means more people means more pollution. Finally, those who destroy the

environment intentionally should be severely punished. We should let them know

that destroying environment means destroying mankind themselves.

points. When I made great progress, I was so happy, but when I fell behind, I

would not give up. I grew up and became patient, I was not the little girl

anymore. In the part-time, I would go to play basketball with my friends, it

became the most exciting thing at that time. Though the high school life was

simple, I gained a lot. I would never forget the classmates who worked with me

together.

在普通话中，“停当”只有一义：“齐备;完毕。”(见《现代汉语词典》)。此一义合肥亦用，如，“东西都准备停当了，要走马上可走。”

在合肥方言中，“停当”还有一义指能干、手巧、有办法。如“这丫头真停当，花绣得多好看!”“把事交给他你就放心吧，他停当得很，肯定会把左左右右都考虑到。”

《儒林外史》第二回：“他也要算停当的了，若想到黄老爹的地步，只怕还要做几年的梦。”第二十三回：“他做小司客的时候，极其停当，每年聚几两银子，先带小货，后来就弄窝子。”此两例中的“停当”显然即合肥方言所说的“停当”，证明全椒一带清代时“停当”即有此义。

我的朋友是***。我和他虽然说不上是什么铁哥们，但关系还是不错的。

他长得瘦瘦的，看起来文质彬彬，很是绅士。他读书很多，属于我们班的读书名人。

他最喜欢玩橡皮大战游戏。每天中午吃过饭，我们就一起玩橡皮大战。橡皮大战就是每个人用自己的橡皮来斗，谁的橡皮先掉在地上，谁就算输。这种比赛分成两种模式：打斗模式和杀怪模式。打斗模式是互相打斗，而杀怪模式是几个人一起杀一个巨大的橡皮。因为***的橡皮有点小，所以，每次他都很快败下阵来，但他仍然十分喜爱这个游戏。

一天中午，我们又像往常一样，吃过饭一起玩橡皮大战，今天玩的是杀怪模式——巨人城废墟。结果玩得乱七八糟，闹哄哄的。这时王泽宇来捣乱，老是挤我，我说：“没和你玩，请你走开。”他理也不理，又对***说：“看，这个是炸弹，谁碰我，谁就死!”***又对他说：“请你走开!”王泽宇嬉皮笑脸地说道：“这是流星雨，砸到谁，谁就死。”***终于火了，说：“不玩了!”于是，我们只好各拿各的东西走了。你瞧，他发火都很有绅士风度哟。

还有一次，我们玩橡皮大战，***想起了上次闹哄哄的场景，就对大家说：“请各位把音量调到1——3度，和我现在说话的声音一样。”他的幽默，令在场的同学都哈哈大笑了起来。

这就是我的好朋友***——一个很有绅士风度，又很幽默的男孩。希望我和他的友谊能越加深厚!

After entering college,we found, to our surprise,that differences between

high school life and college life are great.In high school,we always depended on

our parents and teachers to solve all kinds of difficult problems.At

college,however,we have to rely exclusively on ourselves.Whats more, we have to

learn how to get along with our classmates and roommates.

Four years at college is an important yet very short period of time in our

life.So it is always expected that we adapt to this life as quickly as

possible.But it is a pity that not everyone can do so immediately.Here are some

suggestions.

First,get familiar with the main buildings on the campus.Spend one or two

hours by yourself or with your classmates to go around the campus so that you

can know the location of such important places as the library,the dining

room,the post office,the clinic and classrooms.Next,try to be independent.Learn

to do such things as making sound decisions on how to spend your time,how to

spend your money etc,and washing clothes on your own.

Furthermore,form good study habits.Talk with your classmates and learn from

their good habits.Finally, try to take part in all kinds of activities to get

out of your solitude and get on well with your classmates.

How time flies, laba to last year, I stayed in school to prepare for the exam, hehe.

Today again to the laba festival. Its a pity that a lot of vertigo caused by work and life everyday if I cant remember these days is the man who is. In the morning, I made the pressure cooker millet gruel, boiled eggs, this just run to the Internet, this also is a method of arranging overall time, cooking on the Internet. See test community home page about the origin of laba, teaching posts make laba porridge, this just suddenly, originally is laba.

Once upon a time, I also like to drink laba rice porridge. Mother with red dates, walnuts, chestnuts, peanuts, rice, mung beans, red beans, such as add sugar to boil into hot porridge in my eyes used to be a rare food, of course, does not need in laba, ordinary also can eat to get, but have time to see mother, do you have any mood. Whenever my mother said to endure laba rice porridge, that I will be happy to help mother peel chestnuts, peanut and so on, also devoted together with eight kinds of raw materials as much as possible, in retrospect, eat laba porridge is something very trouble is very busy.

Today again to the laba festival, I hope so people can have a happy the laba festival.

时间可过得真快，想去年的腊八，我还呆在学校里准备考试呢，呵呵。

今天又到腊八节，可惜好多天天被工作和生活搞的晕头转向如我的人是记不清这些日子的。一早起来，我用高压锅做了小米粥，煮了鸡蛋，这才跑到网上，这也算一种统筹安排时间的方法吧，做饭上网两不误。看到考试吧社区首页有关于腊八的来历，教做腊八粥之类的帖子，这才恍然，原来是腊八啊。

曾经，我也很喜欢喝腊八粥。母亲用红枣、花生、大米、核桃仁、栗子、绿豆、红豆之类加上白糖熬成的热腾腾的粥在我眼里曾经是不可多得的美食，当然，并不需要在腊八，平常也可以吃得到，但是要看母亲有没有时间，有没有心情。每当母亲说要熬腊八粥了，那我会开心的帮母亲剥栗子、花生等等，还热心的尽可能凑着八种原料，回想起来，吃腊八粥是一件很麻烦很热闹的事。

今天又到腊八节，我希望所以的人都能够过一个快乐的腊八节。

在江西抚州，才子之乡。在抚州赣语中停当指能干、手巧、做事漂亮：如“形容某家新妇人会管家把家里办的井井有条，诸事都做得非常好非常漂亮，亦称该新妇为"停当"个人”

在抚州地区村坊多为 一个姓氏一村，各村多称对方村为“族”如 村里的族长在处理族中某纠纷时 族长公平公正处理同样会说道：“该族长为人"停当"意思是说族长 处理事情很漂亮，有贤德之名”

在抚州夸奖某人做的事情非常漂亮，稳当，恰到好处会说道：“该个师傅这次做的事情真停当”其中在抚州地区还有“吃价”“杀轻” 等哩语和停当为近义词

该词 始见于《晋书·庾亮传》：“臣等以九月十九日发武昌，以二十四日达夏口，辄简卒搜乘，停当上道。”《朱子全书》卷十四：“夫子言文质彬彬，自然停当恰如，不少了些子意思;若子贡文犹质，质犹文，便说得偏了。”清平山堂话本·快嘴李翠莲记》：“凡百事我自和嫂嫂收拾打点……无多时，前后俱收拾停儅。”等古文记载在抚州地区的方言中，显然将其引申为夸奖人做事得体漂亮的代名词

大家都知道词汇和汉字都在不断变化不断发展：到清朝后“停当”这个词 已完全和抚州地区的同义 如清朝的《儒林外史》第二回：“他也要算停当的了，若想到黄老爹的地步，只怕还要做几年的梦。”第二十三回：“他做小司客的时候，极其停当，每年聚几两银子，先带小货，后来就弄窝子。”

而“停当”是抚州人夸奖有本领的最常用词汇了.

Every September 10 is teachers day in China. Teachers day is Chinas only three industry, including nurses day, journalist day holiday. In different historical periods in China since 1931, a total of four different date and the nature of the teachers day.

First appeared in the history of our country is teachers day in 1931. At that time, the education of famous professor TaiShuang autumn and range coverage and contact the educators of Beijing, Shanghai, to June 6 as teachers day each year, and published the declaration of teachers day, improve teachers treatment, safeguard work, improve teachers accomplishment three goals. This teachers day is not recognized by the kuomintang government of the time, but all over the country produced a certain influence.

In view of the "six," teachers day is the teachers organize to set up, the kuomintang government has not acknowledged that in 1939, the KMT government decided to set up the ministry of education of Confuciuss birthday (August 27) for teachers day, and issued the "interim measures for teachers day to commemorate", but was not in the country.

In 1951, the ministry of education of the Peoples Republic of China and the all-china federation of trade unions, agreed to combine with "51" international labor day together as teachers day in China. Due to various reasons, teachers did not practice in fact.

In order to carry forward the fine tradition of "attaching importance", improve teachers status, January 21, 1985, on the sixth session of the 9th meeting of the standing committee of the National Peoples Congress formally by the state council on establishing a teachers day, to determine teachers day on September 10th every year for China.

每年的9月10日是中国教师节。 教师节是我国仅有的包括护士节、记者节在内的3个行业性节日。自1931年以来，我国在不同历史时期共有过4种不同日期和性质的教师节。

我国历史上最早出现的教师节是1931年。当时，教育界知名教授邰爽秋、程其保等联络京、沪教育界人士，拟定每年6月6日为教师节，并发表《教师节宣言》，提出改善教师待遇、保障教师工作、增进教师修养3项目标。这个教师节没有被当时的国民党政府承认，但在全国各地产生了一定影响。

鉴于“六·六”教师节是教师自发组织设立的，国民党政府没有承认，1939年，国民党政府教育部决定另立孔子诞辰日(8月27日)为教师节，并颁发了《教师节纪念暂行办法》，但当时未能在全国推行。

1951年，中华人民共和国教育部和中华全国总工会共同商定，将教师节与“五一”国际劳动节合并一起作为我国教师节。由于种种原因，教师节实际上并未实行。

为了发扬“尊师重教”的优良传统，提高教师地位，1985年1月21日，在第六届全国人大常委会第九次会议上正式通过国务院关于建立老师节的议案，确定每年9月10日为中国的教师节。从此以后，老师便有了自己的节日。

中秋节称 “月夕”，“八月节”，又称“团圆节”。我国人民在古代每逢中秋夜都要举行迎寒和祭月。人们摆上月饼、西瓜、苹果、红枣、李子和葡萄等祭品来进行祭祀。

今年中秋节的前一天晚上，月亮洁白无暇，台风带来的朵朵云彩映衬着月亮，真是所谓的彩云追月!我和妈妈买回了一只烤鸭，还在饭桌上陆陆续续地摆上与众不同的味道的月饼，味佳肴香喷喷的。7点整，我们开宴了，看着天空中隐约浮现出好似玉盘似的圆月，点缀着漆黑的天空。

我一边全神贯注地看那圆圆的月亮，一边挑了个上面是天鹅的月饼品尝。当我细嚼慢咽的咀嚼那月饼时，感到了豆沙香甜可口的味道。这时，爸爸说起了嫦娥奔月的故事：“相传古时候，一位叫后羿的人娶了一位名叫嫦娥美丽善良的妻子。后羿从王母娘娘母求得一包不死药，被一位心术不正的蓬蒙得知，他手持宝剑威逼嫦娥交出不死药。嫦娥拿出不死药吞了下去，飞落到离人间最近的月亮上成了仙。”他们娓娓动听地讲，我听得津津有味。

Every day to stay in his own study, although the book is my partner, can

let I dare not to mind empty, but sometimes standing to the window and saw the

children of the same age with me on the ground to play, there is sweet smile on

her face, in the heart how envy.

So, every day I see it, and have a headache, how much I yearn for freedom,

I hate being at home, live a life they want, how perfect it is!!!

"The birds have belong to own sky, fish have belong to own lake, the grass

has belongs to own the land, the flowers have their own sunshine, why cant I

have my own life?" My time of day, but god is one of my speaker, what can he

reach to me?

Freedom, how much I yearn for freedom, if one day, I walked alone in the

wilderness of fragrant, let the wind blowing my hair, as the grass on my feet,

as the sun on my face, I will always be walking without the light of day, when

one day, I went to the sea to the sea to speak my mind, pick up a conch tell my

perfect life, give me that you want freedom?

"Sometimes, I also want to be free!" I loudly Shouting, bouts of echo in my

Different people have different ambitions. When children study at school，

they already have their own ideals. Stone want to be engineers or doctors in the

future. Others want to be artists or businessmen. Still others want to be

teachers or lawyers. But few want to be farmers.

Unlike most people， I choose to be a farmer in the future and make

contributions to development of agriculture. Agriculture is essential to the

national economy and the peoples livelihood. Without it there wont be grains

on which people survive. Nevertheless， farmers are ignored， even looked down

upon by urban people. I determine to challenge the traditional idea and

contribute to changing this situation.

However， lt is not easy to he a modern farmer in the 21st century. A modern

farmer must be equipped with a variety of knowledge such as chemlstry， biology

and meteorology. Therefore， I must study conscientiously from now on so that I

can get the chance to study as a postgraduate in an agricultural university.

I believe only a man with scientific knowledge can meet the challenge of

the 21st century and assume the task of modernizing agriculture.

Music is a kind of beautiful enjoyment, it makes me happy, makes me feel

The grass to listen to music, grow more and more flourishing, more and more

green. Several long more and more high wood to listen to the concert. People

listen to the music is good, can relieve pain, fatigue, also can turn a bad mood

into a good mood, still can make people happy, let people follow the music dance

dance to.

If the world without music, the grass will not listen to music, will

wither. The trees will not thrive without the music, also wont grow taller.

People wont listen to the music, will feel very lonely, lonely, will feel very

depressed.

He said mom and dad!!!! They go to work, a days hard work, come back in

the evening to listen to music, relax the mood, relieve the body of a long day,

also can relieve fatigue.

Grandma is very lonely one day, I went to school in the morning, mom and

dad go to work, my grandfather has also gone out to the park. Grandma leg is not

good, is more walk leg ache, so grandma had to stay at home. Grandma do not

work, just listen to music at home, so she didnt feel lonely, also have things

to do.

People alive, be without music, without music, the world will be very pale,

our life is monotonous, boring, so the music is very important to us.

One day a young man was standing in the middle of the town proclaiming that

he had the most beautiful heart in the whole valley. A large crowd gathered and

they all admired his heart for it was perfect. There was not a mark or a flaw in

it. Yes, they all agreed it truly was the most beautiful heart they had ever

seen. The young man was very proud and boasted more loudly about his beautiful

heart.

Suddenly, an old man appeared at the front of the crowd and said, "Why your

heart is not nearly as beautiful as mine." The crowd and the young man looked at

the old mans heart. It was beating strongly, but full of scars, it had places

where pieces had been removed and other pieces put in, but they didnt fit quite

right and there were several jagged edges. In fact, in some places there were

deep gouges where whole pieces were missing.

The people stared — how can he say his heart is more beautiful, they

thought? The young man looked at the old mans heart and saw its state and

laughed. "You must be joking," he said. "Compare your heart with mine, mine is

perfect and yours is a mess of scars and tears."

"Yes," said the old man, "Yours is perfect looking but I would never trade

with you. You see, every scar represents a person to whom I have given my love —

I tear out a piece of my heart and give it to them, and often they give me a

piece of their heart which fits into the empty place in my heart, but because

the pieces arent exact, I have some rough edges, which I cherish, because they

remind me of the love we shared. Sometimes I have given pieces of my heart away,

and the other person hasnt returned a piece of his heart to me. These are the

empty gouges — giving love is taking a chance. Although these gouges are

painful, they stay open, reminding me of the love I have for these people too,

and I hope someday they may return and fill the space in my heart. So now do you

see what true beauty is? "

The young man stood silently with tears running down his cheeks. He walked

up to the old man, reached into his perfect young and beautiful heart, and

ripped a piece out. He offered it to the old man with trembling hands.

The old man took his offering, placed it in his heart and then took a piece

from his old scarred heart and placed it in the wound in the young mans heart.

It fit, but not perfectly, as there were some jagged edges. The young man looked

at his heart, not perfect anymore but more beautiful than ever, since love from

the old mans heart flowed into his. They embraced and walked away side by

side.

Mary was engaged to be married to Joseph, a carpenter, but before they came together, she was found to be with child.

Christmas Day-December 25-which celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ, the founder of the Christian religion, is the biggest and best-loved holiday in the Christian World.

According to the Bible, the holy book of Christians, God decided to allow his only son, Jesus Christ, to be born to a human mother and live on earth so that people could understand God better and learn to love God and each other more. "Christmas"- meaning "celebration of Christ "- honors the time when Jesus was born to a young Jewish woman Mary.

Mary was engaged to be married to Joseph, a carpenter, but before they came together, she was found to be with child. Because Joseph, her husband, was a righteous man and did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly.

But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins."

Although the exact date of the birth of Jesus nearly 2,000 years ago is not known, the calendar on the supposed date divides all time into B.C. (Before Christ )and A.D. ( a Latin phrase, Anno Domini, "in the year of our Lord.") For the first 300 years, Jesus birthday was celebrated on different dates. Finally, in the year 354, church leaders chose December 25 as his birthday.

Chinese New Year or Spring Festival is the most important of the

traditional Chinese holidays. It is sometimes called the "Lunar New Year" by

English speakers. The festival traditionally begins on the first day of the

first month (Chinese: 正月; pinyin: zhēng yuè) in the Chinese calendar and ends on

the 15th; this day is called Lantern Festival. Chinese New Years Eve is known

as chú xī. It literally means "Year-pass Eve".

Chinese New Year is the longest and most important festivity in the Lunar

Calendar. The origin of Chinese New Year is itself centuries old and gains

significance because of several myths and traditions. Ancient Chinese New Year

is a reflection on how the people behaved and what they believed in the

Celebrated in areas with large populations of ethnic Chinese, Chinese New

Year is considered a major holiday for the Chinese and has had influence on the

new year celebrations of its geographic neighbors, as well as cultures with whom

the Chinese have had extensive interaction. These include Koreans (Seollal),

Tibetans and Bhutanese (Losar), Mongolians (Tsagaan Sar), Vietnamese (Tt), and

formerly the Japanese before 1873 (Oshogatsu). Outside of Mainland China, Hong

Kong, Macau, and Taiwan, Chinese New Year is also celebrated in countries with

significant Han Chinese populations, such as Singapore, Indonesia, Laos,

Malaysia, the Philippines, and Thailand. In countries such as Australia, Canada

and the United States, although Chinese New Year is not an official holiday,

many ethnic Chinese hold large celebrations and Australia Post, Canada Post, and

the US Postal Service issues New Years themed stamps.

Within China, regional customs and traditions concerning the celebration of

the Chinese new year vary widely. People will pour out their money to buy

presents, decoration, material, food, and clothing. It is also the tradition

that every family thoroughly cleans the house to sweep away any ill-fortune in

hopes to make way for good incoming luck. Windows and doors will be decorated

with red colour paper-cuts and couplets with popular themes of “happiness”,

“wealth”, and “longevity”. On the Eve of Chinese New Year, supper is a feast

with families. Food will include such items as pigs, ducks, chicken and sweet

delicacies. The family will end the night with firecrackers. Early the next

morning, children will greet their parents by wishing them a healthy and happy

new year, and receive money in red paper envelopes. The Chinese New Year

tradition is a great way to reconcile forgetting all grudges, and sincerely wish

peace and happiness for everyone.

Although the Chinese calendar traditionally does not use continuously

numbered years, outside China its years are often numbered from the reign of

Huangdi. But at least three different years numbered 1 are now used by various

scholars, making the year 2009 "Chinese Year" 4707, 4706, or 4646.
