+ 加入清单As it is known to us, Ping An was chosen to perform on the CCTV Spring
Festival Gala with his melodious and strong voice. Also, he had a great
achievement on this dream stage. Although he hadnt gain the popularity among
the audience at the beginning, he always kept his dream in mind and never gave
it up. It is his success that brings home to me the power of dream.
A life without a dream is a life without a sun. Therefore, in no
circumstances can we give up our dream. Unquestionably, dreams are of great
importance. For one thing, a person having a dream will be considered to be more
responsible and unswerving. For another, in pursuit of our dream, there is a
chance that good habits and positive attitudes can be formed, contributing to
our success.
As for our students, what we should do is to choose a healthy seed and
plant it on fertilized soil. Firstly, knowledge is the foundation of dream
realization, so we should spend much time in study to enrich ourselves.
Secondly, it also takes perseverance and confidence if we want to realize our
dreams. Last but not least, we should not be craven and timorous but brave when
we meeting obstacles.

+ 加入清单Once, I talked to the foreign people, he was staring at me all the time,
which made me feel not comfortable, so I chose to avoid his eyes and kept a
little distance from him. When I talked about this problem to my foreign
teacher, she told me that it was natural for them to look at you during
communication, which meant respect. While in China, people do the opposite
thing. They try to avoid eye-contact, because it is not eased to look at each
other. The different culture sometimes creates distance. The foreigners always
feel strange when they look at Chinese people’s eyes and every time when they
want to come closer to hear more clearly, Chinese people will walk away. So the
more we learn about the culture, the more we know about the world.

English test that was a must for a student to get the degree. So some colleges
canceled the rules. But recently, The Chinese first class university announced
that swimming skill is necessary for degree. It has been the hot issue, then
many people give their opinions.
On the one hand, some people are favorable of this regulation, because
swimming skill is really important. Most of the accidents happened in the river.
The swimming skill can protect them from dying. What’s more, foreign schools
take the swimming class as the regular lesson. So almost every foreign kid can
swim, which is the basic skill.
On the other hand, some people argue that even the student can’t swim, they
can’t be denied by lacking the swimming skill. They need the degree to find a
job. They are equipped with many skills and are capable of a lot of things.
Their ability has nothing to do with swimming skill.
I think that school should open the class for students to learn swimming
skill. If they fail, they still can make up by learning other lesson. The degree
can be got by many ways.

+ 加入清单英语念起来干枯无聊,我偶尔往前面望去,有一排同学没事可做,竟然搞起敢死队的工作——在英语老师的眼皮子底下看漫画书,晕。更为巧合的是――竟然都是坐在一排的人!怀疑是不是串通好了的呢。
敢死队员1号:小心翼翼型
这位队员一边看着书,一边虎视耽耽地望着老师。瞧,他刚翻一页,就抬头看看老师,接着又翻一页,然后有抬头望望老师,这样重复循环,真不知道他把内容看进去没有。看见老师的目光没有扫向他,他赶紧抓住机会连翻几页,然后突然抬头,盯着老师。
敢死队员2号:动作怪怪型
这位队员可有点怪了,看着书,一会儿掏掏鼻子,一会儿打打哈欠,一会儿摸摸耳朵,一副惟恐天下不乱的样子,好像不让老师发现他的举动就不甘心似的,真是个怪人。
敢死队员3、4号:谈天说地型
这两位同学有些不把老师放在眼里了,边看书边聊天。我隐隐约约听见他们说冒险岛OL,说漫画内容,说小说,说娱乐咨询,就连老师和同学的目光扫向他们,也无济于事。
敢死队员5号:边学边看型
这位同学好像有些明白学习的重要性,看了几分钟的书,马上立起来听老师的讲课。课上一半时,老师为了扫查班上的敢死队,把同学们一个叫起一个问问题。这下可让这群敢死队员们开始惶恐不安了,他们连书都顾不着看呢。而这位队员呢,看一会儿就学学,这一招算是对他的MISS了。
敢死队员6号:理直气壮型
这位同学可是班上的霸王级分子了(注:别乱想,不是我啊),他可是一人之下,几十人之上,谁敢对他不敬,他的落雷马上就落在你头上了,(注:我已经欠了他3顿打了,要不是我能帮他弄电脑作业,我早就魂飞天了)因此每人敢告发他。不知是她的好运还是老师放水,他这样看了一堂课,竟然都没半点被批评,真太不公平了!!
谁知道,老师从天而降,为了抓住敢死分子,居然来个背后突袭,到所有座位后边地毯式搜索。5名敢死队员唰地一声,在同一时间内放下书,装起乖乖。只有敢死队员6号稳如泰山,而老师的目光明明瞄准了他,可老师却好像在放水一样,竟纵容他在自己眼皮子底下活动,真气死人了!而其他5位的敢死队员便无机可乘,只好乖乖停课,唯独6号占了便宜。

As a chinese, I was really ashamed of having a little knowledge of dragon boat festival. Perhaps I was born in northern city, though my city is nearby sea, it has been built a U port which I can only see cargo ships and can t see the sweeping ocean. So I have never see the dragon boat contest since I was born. So the dragon boat festival is just a holiday for eating Zong Zi . My mother made Zong Zi when I was a child. Because there was no supermarket, we couldn t buy finished product from market. However, now, we can buy anything in supermarket, so my mother didn t make them anymore. The boat festival began to fade out my mind.
In reality, young people began to have a bug to celebrate foreign festivals, such as Christams, Saint Valentine s day, April Fool s Day, some people also celebrate Easter in church. Talk about Dragon boat festival, it s the same as some foreign conventional festivals, such as Witch s Day in Czech. People burned the witch s puppet so as to welcome spring. Some people are willing to celebrate foreign festivals because they like alien culture. And vice versa, foreigners who like China also concern about Chinese traditional culture.
After new holiday regulation, we have three holidays during the dragon boat festival. So many people will choose this time to travel. People who lived in Xiamen are able to visit Xiapu or Wu Yi mountain, these tourist attractions are in Fujian province,which is suit a short tirp. but I d like to stay at home for my decorate painting.

篇15:关于教育的英语
全文共 1293 字
+ 加入清单Aducation is not an end, but a means to an end. In other words, we do not
educate children only for educating them. Our purpose is to fit them for
life.
In some modern countries it has been fashionable to think that free
education for all can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect
nation. But we can already see that free education for all is not enough.We find
in such countries a far larger number of people with university degrees refusing
to do what they think is "low"work, and. in fact, working with ones hands is
thought to be dirty and shameful in such countries.
But we have only to think a moment to understand that the work of a
completely uneducated farmer is far more important than that of a professor~ we
can live without education,but we die if we have no food. If no one cleaned our
streets and took the rubbish away from our houses, we should get terrible
diseases in our towns.
In fact, when we say that all of us must be educated to fit us for life, it
means that we must be educated in such a way that, firstly, each of us can do
whatever work is suited to his brains and ability and, secondly, that we can
realize that all jobs are necessary to society, and that it is very bad to be
ashamed of ones work. Only such a type of education can be considered valuable
to society.

about America, which helped me make the better judgment. A video was made by a
Chinese student who had studied in America for 6 years. He told people that some
part of America was like the big countryside and not every place looked like the
movies presented in the screen. He came to the conclusion that perfect country
did not exist. So we need to take the right attitude to our country, and dont

我趁陈爷爷在厨房里,我拿起拖把、扫把、撮箕,开始打扫卫生,爷爷看见直夸我棒。

you, but my body is still very strong." , I am really heartbroken for Grandpa
Chen.

happy and others will be happy too. Helping others is just a thought. Its
easier said than done. It takes courage and strength to help others,
perseverance and perseverance to be a truly qualified volunteer!

+ 加入清单When a guest comes to my home from afar on a cold night, I light bamboo to
boil tea to offer him. Ancient Chinese poem.China is the home country of tea.
Before the Tang Dynasty, Chinese tea was exported by land and sea, first to
Japan and Korea, then to India and Central Asia and, in the Ming and Qing
dynasties, to the Arabian Peninsula. In the early period of the 17th century,
Chinese tea was exported to Europe, where the upper class adopted the fashion of
drinking tea. Chinese tea like Chinese silk and china has become synonymous
worldwide with refined culture. At the heart of the culture of tea the study and
practice of tea in all its aspects is the simple gesture of offering a cup of
tea to a guest that for Chinese people today is a fundamental social custom, as
it has been for centuries.China traces the development of tea as an art form to
Lu Yu, known as the Saint of Tea in Chinese history, who lived during the Tang
Dynasty and who wrote The Book of Tea, the first ever treatise on tea and tea
culture. The spirit of tea permeates Chinese culture, and throughout the country
there are many kinds of teas, teahouses, tea legends, tea artifacts and tea
customs. Better-known places to enjoy a good cup of tea in China include Beijing
noted for its variety of teahouses; Fujian and Guangdong provinces and other
places in the southeast of China that serve gongfu tea, a formal serving of tea
in tiny cups; the West Lake in Hangzhou, also the home of the Tea Connoisseurs
Association, noted for its excellent green tea; and provinces in southwest China
like Yunnan where the ethnic groups less affected by foreign cultures retain tea
ceremonies and customs in original tea-growing areas.
