篇1:关于考试作弊问题的英语作文

全文共 1792 字

+ 加入清单

It never be explained why so many students on campus cheat in their examinations nowadays, regardless of the danger that teachers find their secret, as it did in the case of the boy student in the cartoon/photo above. What is conveyed in the drawing is most thought-provoking and should arouse our social concern.

The implied meaning of the picture is worth discussing. Firstly, the youngs always become quite illogical when they try to descide what can be done and what can not be done. In the light of this statement, some students are often willing to sacrifice their credibility for the privillage of getting more points and being regarded as outstanding students. Furthermore, some one is afired that he can‘t pass the final exams leading to his degree, in the fruit of being absorbed into computer games or disappointment in love.

Consequently, only by cheating can they graduate and get the degree on time. Although many reasons share the problem of this drawing, one of them can be singled out for recognition: the conditions of our sociaty. Such is human nature, that we can‘t avoid being influenced by environment. In short, the root of cheating in examinations and credibilililess on campus is combinition of many factors.

There is no blinding at the fact that, in dealing with a challenge on such scale, some strong, effective and necessary counter-measures should be put on our agenda. To the begin with, a widespread education campaign should be launched to make students realize the importance of credibility. What‘s more, the government departments at different levels and related orgnizations should make joint efforts and coordination of programs to creat a more credit environment for us. Only by this package deal, can build up a harmonious and healthy sociaty.

篇7:换个角度看问题作文600字

全文共 599 字

漫漫人生,问题重重。重要的是用于消灭问题,更重要的是善于战胜问题。因此我们要换个角度看问题。

在此方面,外国人是我们的老师。自由女神像竣工后,纽约广场上残留了大量建筑的残渣和尘土。政府悬赏一万美元,仍然没有人自愿清理。这是一位年轻人主动请缨,她把尘土卖给花店,将铜渣加工成铜把手。最后,他竟然赚了几百万美元。这不是偶然,而是必然。他想到的不仅是这些废物,而更多的是其背后巨大的经济利益。换个角度看问题,废渣也是聚宝盆。

换向思维也可以帮助我们走出人生的困境。伟大的发明家爱迪生的实验室有一次起火了,他的成果被付之一炬。但他坦然的说:“我承认我很不幸,但这更意味糟糕的东西已经消失,我可以从头再来。“他没有十一儿这一件事看成是一个悲剧,而是想到了糟糕的东西也被付之一炬,从此他可以心无杂念地开展一番新事业。

如果这件是的主人公是一个悲观主义者,那它定会悲痛欲绝,了了终日,陷入深谭,而不能自拔。

既然换个角度看问题如此重要,我们该如何培养这样的思维方式呢?首先不能养成死钻牛角尖的习惯,凡事从多种角度考虑。八人际间的关系出现危机时,学会从他人的角度看待问题,以求达到共识。遇到挫折与失败,和一把它看做动力这样就可以避免走进绝望的阴影,顺利摆脱困境。

看到落叶飘飘洒洒,我们应该看到新叶绿满枝头。鹰把“自残“看成是新的生命的扬帆起航。蜗牛走得慢,自有他的道理,透过现象看本质,换个角度看问题,人生或许会因此不同。

The Spring Festival is coming. I know that you must be very fond of the Spring Festival. Because everyone can stick to the spring festival couplet, see the Spring Festival Gala, visit friends and friends … …

I remember when the Spring Festival approached last year, I learned to write couplets at home. I stood aside and looked at the couplets written by adults. I saw that they dipped in a pen with ink, and then wrote several big words on the red paper. I cant remember the specific content. The couplet was very neat, and I said to my uncle, &ldquo, can you teach me to write a couplet? ” I remember clearly the uncle asked, "“ do you use a brush?" Do you know how to write a couplet? ” I shook my head and said, “ no. ” so he said, "“ you have grown up for one year again, and you cant even use a brush. Ill teach you a few tricks at this opportunity." ” after hearing the uncles words, I jumped up happily.

The uncle told me to sit straight while writing, not on the table. And then tell me in detail how to use the brush. After listening to my uncles words, I finally learned some of the most basic ways to use the brush. Then the uncle asked me to write a few words to show him. I wrote five words: “ I love Chinese &rdquo most; Written askew, probably just use a brush! The uncle saw a smile: “ the word was written well, but the pen was not straight. ”

So my uncle taught me: “ when writing every word, it is not to use the same strength to write every word, but the power should be changed with weight. The written words will be more varied and look more beautiful. The uncle finished the demonstration and wrote several words to imitate me. It is comfortable to look at the words written by the uncle. I tried to write a few words on my uncles look, and I really made progress. I was much happier than I had just written.

The uncle also told me that writing should be often trained to imitate the name. The more it is written, the more writing it is, the better it is.

In this Spring Festival, I have learned a little bit of writing brush writing skills, is really more happy than to get the money, but also more affordable.

篇10:未来的水资源问题英语作文

Presently, the world is faced with serious water problems. But these problems witt become more intense and more complex in the future. Our increasing population witt tremendously increase urban waters, primarily sewage. On the other hand, increasing demands for water witt decrease substantially the amount of water available for diluting wastes. Rapidly expanding industries which involve more and more complex chemical processes will produce large volumes of liquid wastes. Many of thesewitt contain chemicals that are poisonous. To feed our rapidly expanding population, agriculture will have to be intensified. This will involve ever increasing quantities of agriculture chemicals. From this, it is apparent that drastic steps must be taken immediately to develop corrective measures for the pollution problems.

There are two ways by which these pollution problems can be lessened. The first relates to the treatment of wastes to decrease their pollution hazard. This involves the processing of solid wastes "prior to" disposal and the treatment of liquid wastes to permit the reuse to the water or best reduce pollution upon final disposal. The second approach is to develop an economic use for all or part of the wastes. Farm manure is spread in fields as a nutrient. Wastes from sewage disposal plants are used in some areas both for irrigation and for the nutrients contained. Liquid wastes from other processing plants may also be used as a supplemental source of water. Only by doing these promptly now can we expect to solve the serious water problems in the future.

二、

During the 15 days from New Years Eve to Lantern Festival, Beijing was affected by smog for more than half the time, because of which people suffered a lot. On the road people drove slowly because they could not see clearly. People also suffered from many illnesses caused by smog.

The smog in Beijing has been caused by many factors, in which the increase of cars in the city area plays an important role. The carssend off a lot of poisonous gases, which in turn adds to the already seriousair pollution.

In my opinion, the number of cars should be limited.We should call on the people to use more public transport. Only in this way canwe expect to have more sunny days.

Dear Mr Pan:

It has been a long time since I wrote the last letter. Nowdays, people write letters less and less, instead, they make a call or send a SMS. However, it is still a good way for us to communicate with each other by sending a letter.

Its my honour to get the chance to write to you. "Approachable" is my first impression of you, because you always keeps smiling. Students may fear the teachers that are serious both in and out of class. Smile makes a teacher popular with his students, you are a teacher of this very kind.

You always arrive at the classroom ahead of any of the students, from which we could imply that you are a diligent man with regular habit. Before the class, you like to talk to us, at this very time, you are more a friend than a teacher. To be honest, I was surprised in the first class when I learned a teacher at your age could speak English in such a fluent way.(I didnt mean you are old, youre young at heart.) Moreover, you know well how to keep your class attractive. Youve got such an active mind that you can keep talking during the whole class without a pause. I always appreciated your ideas and enjoyed listening to you. In your class, I learned not only the writing skills but also the presentation skills as well as much knowledge of other areas. Thanks for your excellent teaching.

Ive got some suggestions for you. It seems that we students have got few chances to participate in discussion during the class time. Most of the time, we are listening. Seldom did we express our own ideas. I suggest that teachers should interact with students more frequently in the class. Besides, Id like to practice writing more, so would you please leave us more assignments?

Happy new year.

With every good wish.

Yours sincerely

题目要求:

1. 我国人口老龄化现象日趋明显

2. 人口老龄化带来的问题

3. 如何妥善解决人口老龄化问题

参考范文:

Aging of the Population

Population officials and demographers have much to worry about China’s increasingly aging population. It is estimated that the proportion of people aged 60 or older in China will rise to 11.8 percent in 2020. By the middle of this century, people aged beyond 60 will take up 27.4 percent of the total population — that means one out of every four people will be senior!

The aging population poses a serious challenge to families and the society. On the one hand, with families becoming smaller and living pace escalating, it is even graver for families to care for aged members adequately. On the other hand, aging causes a relative decline in working force. Consequently, the productivity of the whole society will be affected to some extent.

The rapidity of the population’s aging has made it more urgent for the adoption of countermeasures. There is no doubt that the key is to build a solid economic foundation. Meanwhile, importance should be attached to overall social progress by changing the backward situation in social security, welfare and service. What’s more, family care and community-based services should also be encouraged.

篇15:《那些古怪又让人忧心的问题》读后感700字

有一句话说的好:“读书破万卷,下笔如有神。”也就是说,多读书,多积累,文章就自然能写好。因此,我也在平时的空闲中,多多读书,今年暑假,我读了一本有趣的书——《那些古怪又让人忧心问题》。

《那些古怪又让人忧心的问题》这本书,是美国的兰道尔·门罗所写,作者门罗用幽默的口吻,回答了一个个看似古怪、可笑的,但又不无道理的问题。

在“用乐高积木搭桥、地球的最后之光”等等问题中,我琢磨了一个关于:“如果在地球上捆上绳子(绳子也就是地球剖面的周长),然后将绳子抬高1米[也就是绳子离地1米],需增加几米绳子?”这个问题我思索着,突然灵光一闪!求绳长就与周长有关,那么圆的半径增加1米后,周长就多了1乘“π”米(“π”取3、14),也就是3、14米!天啊,原来只要这么点绳子,真是神奇!

在发现了这神奇的答案后,我也相信了作者所说的:“再荒唐的问题,都有一个科学的解答!”

读了这本书,我在“如果人类DNA瞬间消失会怎样”这个解答中,得知了人体DNA的重要性。如果失去了DNA,你就会像“人间蒸发”一般,医疗追踪会失去作用,而你的身体也会慢慢改变:肝肾等器官会慢慢衰竭,所以,失去DNA会使你“隐身”,也会使你与明天说再见!

读完这本有趣的书,我也看到了科学的另一面与探究对我们而言的重要性。我们也要向《那些古怪又让人忧心的问题》这本书的作者:兰道尔。门罗学习他的探究、发现精神,因为发现更多,学的也更多!

在生活中,在学习中,我们也应该多多提出问题,多多发现问题,而不是对问题视而不见,或压根儿没发现问题,我也要继续加油!

我爱读书,我爱书香,因为读书让我受益匪浅!

I have heard a beautiful poetry, written by a novelist, Amy Cheung. With a

little adjustment, it can vividly depict the alienation among people in reality

- "The further distance in the world is not between life and death. But when I

stand in front of you, your eyes turn to your smartphone; don’t know that I love

you."

The smartphone has been gaining a great popularity, becoming a toxic

compulsion. It has invaded our lives and occupied all our interstitial time. It

is so commonly seen that the smartphone addicts attend to their phone, ignoring

everything. Even meeting with friends, they often pull out the phone in order to

take a photo, check a message or even play with a game. Seeming connected with

the whole world, they have actually fiddled the conversation and done harm to

the relationship.

It is high time that we threw away the phone and raised our heads up. Do

cherish the ones around us and appreciate the splendid scenery ahead of us.

篇18:愚人节英文优秀作文

全文共 2400 字

However, communications being what they were in the days when news traveled by foot, many people did not receive the news for several years. Others, the more obstinate crowd, refused to accept the new calendar and continued to celebrate the new year on April 1. These backward folk were labeled as "fools" by the general populace. They were subject to some ridicule, and were often sent on "fools errands" or were made the butt of other practical jokes.

This harassment evolved, over time, into a tradition of prank-playing on the first day of April. The tradition eventually spread to England and Scotland in the eighteenth century. It was later introduced to the American colonies of both the English and French. April Fools Day thus developed into an international fun fest, so to speak, with different nationalities specializing in their own brand of humor at the expense of their friends and families.

In Scotland, for example, April Fools Day is actually celebrated for two days. The second day is devoted to pranks involving the posterior region of the body. It is called Taily Day. The origin of the "kick me" sign can be traced to this observance.

Mexicos counterpart of April Fools Day is actually observed on December 28. Originally, the day was a sad remembrance of the slaughter of the innocent children by King Herod. It eventually evolved into a lighter commemoration involving pranks and trickery.

Pranks performed on April Fools Day range from the simple, (such as saying, "Your shoes untied, or I accidentally stepped on your glasses!), to the elaborate. Setting a roommates alarm clock back an hour is a common gag. Whatever the prank, the trickster usually ends it by yelling to his victim, "April Fool!"

Practical jokes are a common practice on April Fools Day. Sometimes, elaborate practical jokes are played on friends or relatives that last the entire day. The news media even gets involved. For instance, a British short film once shown on April Fools Day was a fairly detailed documentary about "spaghetti farmers" and how they harvest their crop from the spaghetti trees.

April Fools Day is a "for-fun-only" observance. Nobody is expected to buy gifts or to take their "significant other" out to eat in a fancy restaurant. Nobody gets off work or school. Its simply a fun little holiday, but a holiday on which one must remain forever vigilant, for he may be the next April Fool!

The past always keeps me fresh. The student is very tall. He always looks serious, but he always smiles on his face when he helps others. We have always been a very good playing partner. Remember, thats my Christmas day in grade two. Its a bit slippery on the ground under the drizzle. When we took turns shooting, I sprained my feet after landing, but I couldnt even stand up. After he saw it, he put down the ball immediately, gently lifted me up, and slowly helped me into the teaching building. From his eyes, I could see a bit of worry. I knew he was worried about whether I could walk up to the four floor classroom.

There are fifty steps to go up to the four floor classroom, because our speed is very slow, so that we just walked to the two floor, and the bell rang. I asked him to go quickly, but he said, "after I leave, how do you get there? Id like to stay. " Looking at his solemn expression, listening to his firm words and feeling his powerful arm, suddenly a warm current came to his heart, and the pain seemed to ease a lot. With his support, one step and one stop, we strolled fifty steps hard. These fifty steps left me with the love of my classmates. This is the special Christmas gift that I got that year!

I switched to school in XX, but I can never forget the story of that Christmas. This years Christmas is coming. Today is drizzle. Im here to bless him and I together to a good middle school, and hope we can play basketball happily together.
