As it’s known to all, China is popular for its emperor of bicycles. This is

because our country is still a developing country and few people can afford

private cars. The demand for a means of transport is met by making millions of

bicycles available.

Riding a bicycle has a lot of advantages over driving a car. First, it is a

physical exercise to ride a bicycle. In contrast, sitting in the car, one tends

to gain weight. Besides, it is much more economical to ride a bike than drive a

car. On the one hand, the only fee a bike-rider has to pay is the annual tax.

However, the annual fees for a car are costly. On the other hand, a bike neednt

be equipped with a parking lot, but a car must. Most important of all, it is

beneficial to the environment to ride a bicycle because the bike doesnt consume

petrol; it is a pollution-free transport. In contrast, the exhaust released by

the car is harmful to the environment.

Since China is a developing country with a large population, bicycles will

still be the most popular means of transport in China for quite a long time.

Most people will still ride bicycles to go to work or to school. The emperor

country of bicycles will remain for at least dozens of years.

According to research, the green coverage rate reached 30%, the carcinogenic substances in the air can fell by 58%, carbon dioxide at least by 90%, but now dont say those big cities, is even we this small country is doomed.

When summer arrives, sorching summer, cement road tan as hot as the red coals in the kitchen. Not a piece of green plays for us to talk, everyone stay at home, alone the cool, from a distance is very bleak.

Plants also is life, people are enjoying provide rich resources, it gives us life bring us countless convenience at the same time, should learn to be grateful. I can conveniently, for example: plant to filter and absorb the dust in the air is good, it is understood that the atmosphere through the forest, can reduce the amount of dust, 32% fly ash quantity reduced by 30%!

Dear classmates, greening can bring us a lot of good life, why dont we take action? Let us join hands and according to the requirements of the ecological civilization, cherish the nature, protect the environment, we will be more beautiful tomorrow!

亲爱的同学们,绿化能带给我们生活许多好处,我们为何不行动起来呢?那就让我们携起手来,按照生态文明的要求,珍爱自然,保护环境,我们的明天一定会更加美好!

At the beginning of the summer vacation, our family of three returned to my

hometown, Shehong.

Back in Shehong, we stayed at my grandmothers house. One Friday morning,

my brother and I made an appointment to catch cicadas in the bushes downstairs

at their house because they have a lot of cicadas there. Before night, I rushed

over and saw that my brother was already there waiting for me, with a prepared

pocket in his hand.

We walked cautiously into the bushes, for fear that our every move would

disturb the cicadas on the trees. At this time, the cicada was screaming

"knowing" and "knowing", as if they were holding a wonderful concert. I walked

very carefully under a big tree and found a cicada lying in the middle of the

tree pole, screaming happily! I grabbed it after thinking about it, and covered

it with my hands. I wasnt nervous before, but at this time I was extremely

nervous, and my heart was jumping like a little rabbit, for fear that the cicada

would fly away all of a sudden. As a result, as soon as my hand touched the

branch, the cicada flapped its wings and flew away nimbly. The elder brother

said: "Look at me! I can definitely catch the cicada." While talking, the elder

brother found another cicada on the tree. He raised his hand high, moved his arm

gently, and when he was about a decimeter from the cicada, his brother suddenly

covered it, and suddenly he covered the cicada in the palm of his hand and put

it in a bag. Next, my brother caught five cicadas in the same way. I really envy

my brothers ability to catch cicadas.

Watching my brother catch so many cicadas, can I not feel itchy? So I said

to my brother: "Brother, you can rest for a while, Ill catch it." I handed the

bag to my brother and learned his method. After a while, I caught one. Before

long, we had more than twenty cicadas in our bags.

Watching these cicadas stay in the bag obediently, my brother and I both

laughed happily, and the cheerful laughter echoed in the trees for a long

time.

篇20:初一关于教育的英语作文

Throughout the millennia, students of all ages in China have had to endure the miseries of learning by rote. Teachers have stifled creativity in the pursuit of the accumulation of facts, and parents have forced children to spend mind-numbing hours cramming for exams. But for the past year, the government has been experimenting with what could amount to revolutionary changes in Chinas classrooms. The aim is to make education more pleasant, more useful and, above all, to challenge students to think for themselves.

What has prompted the reforms is a belated recognition that Chinas education system is failing to produce enough innovative thinkers. In addition, students are deeply unhappy. A survey conducted by the Education Ministry five years ago found more than 80% of students disliked school. Dropout rates have been rising in rural areas—partly for economic reasons but also because of the stultifying atmosphere of their classrooms. Exam pressures frequently lead to suicides. According to a survey last year among senior secondary-school students and university freshmen in one area, more than 50% had considered killing themselves.

Several other countries in East Asia, including Japan, South Korea and Taiwan, are grappling with similar problems. But the implications of Chinas reform efforts are particularly profound. Chinas traditional education methods are ideally suited to a political culture that requires citizens to submit blindly to authority. By encouraging students to question their teachers and regard them as equals (even official literature now talks of fostering a “democratic” atmosphere in classrooms), China could be ushering in a new kind of relationship between the rulers and the ruled.

整个几千年,在中国所有年龄段的学生不得不忍受苦难的死记硬背。老师扼杀创造力的追求事实的积累,和家长迫使孩子花的小时死记硬背的考试。但在过去的一年里,政府一直在尝试什么革命性的变化在中国的教室。目的是使教育更愉快、更有用,最重要的是,挑战学生独立思考。

什么促使改革是一个迟来的承认,中国的教育系统是无法产生足够的创新的思想家。此外,学生感到非常不满。五年前教育部进行的一项调查发现,超过80%的学生不喜欢学校。农村辍学率一直在上升的经济原因,还因为愚蠢的教室的气氛。经常考试压力导致自杀。去年的一项调查显示,在高级中学学生和大学新生在一个地区,超过50%的人认为是自杀。

其他几个国家在东亚,包括日本、韩国和台湾,也面临着类似的问题。但中国的改革努力的影响尤为深刻。中国传统的教育方法是适合一个政治文化,需要公民提交盲目权威。通过鼓励学生质疑老师和把他们视为等于(甚至现在官方文学对话培养“民主”的气氛中在教室),中国可能成为引领一种新的统治者和被统治者之间的关系。
