+ 加入清单Dear mother:
Hello
Dear mother, you have given me life, and my body has run through your
blood. It is your milk, heart, blood, tears and sweat that have become the
greatest liquid of human life and have nurtured me. It is you who feed me from a
hungry child to a primary school student.
Dear mother, there are many kinds of love in the world, but maternal love
is the most selfless, sincere, broadest and most merciful. When praising the
affection of human beings, you are the eternal theme. When you sing the sincere
love of the world, your love is called the first love in the world. Selfless is
your character, dedication is your feelings. You are the embodiment of goodness.
You are a symbol of greatness. Everything beautiful in women is condensed in
your image.
My dear mother, though the hardships of life have made your hands rough,
however, these hands are still so gentle, it always soothes my heart and gives
me infinite comfort; although the heavy work makes your head white hair, but the
body is still like the wing, caring for me all the time. The hard work of hard
work makes your face wrinkle. However, the face is still so kind. It teaches me
the true meaning of life and gives me confidence and strength at all times.
My dear mother, you are the resting place for your daughter. You are the
harbor for your daughter to escape from the wind. With you, our home will be
peaceful and warm. With you, our family will be happy and happy.
Dear mother, your great love is the greatest and selfless, your love in the
heart of the daughter turned from the bottom of the heart from the bottom of the
heart out - only the mother is good, the mother of the child like a treasure,
into the mothers embrace can not enjoy happiness.

after working in a company? Both of the questions are related with university
students seeking jobs problems. Its very tough when confront with those
questions. As a junior/senior student,I would love to say something as
following:
A part of students are aim too high.They always want to find easy and
comfortable jobs with high salary.But, they neglect they are just undergraduates
who lack of real experience in a company. Aim too high but lack of real
experience leads them to be frustrated:they cant find their suitable jobs and
are not interested low-salary jobs. Its a real situation in our current
society. The best solution is that our undergraduates should change their minds.
The new minds is that to be capable before getting high salary.
There is also a issue should be pay attention to. Some advertisements
say:"Only men available". Thats gender discrimination which couldnt be occured
in the modern society. With the development of our society,our women s ability
are also enhancing. Some women even can do some jobs which men couldnt do well.

篇5:大学生就业英语作文100字
全文共 1354 字
+ 加入清单More and more college students, in recent years, are finding it difficult
to find jobs. This may sound strange since college students used to be the "most
favored" people in society. They have received a higher education, hence they
are more intelligent, knowledgeable than their counterparts who failed to attend
college. But chances are that some of them can hardly find jobs after graduating
from colleges.
There are two reasons that account for this strange phenomenon. One is that
some college students cannot come to terms with themselves and with the world
around them. They pursue too high goals and are too particular about such
factors as working conditions, salary, and so on. Therefore, they are reluctant
to accept the job when they are offered to them. Another reason is that the
majors some students pursue do not match with the demands of the job market. As
a result, they canonly sit and miss opportunities.
To solve this problem, I think college students should know their own
strengths and weaknesses and have the right attitude towards themselves and the
job vacancies. In addition, they should not attach too much importance to
material aspects of the job. They should put priority to their future
development and their contributions to society in stead. Furthermore, they
should think of receiving some further training to meet the demands of
society.

the dream has come true. But how do we college students like our campus
life?
Certainly, some relish it, finding it colorful and rewarding. Besides
study, they spend considerable amount of time improving themselves in various
aspect. Yet others do not think much of their college life, thus do not benefit
as much. In their eyes, the university is just a bigger high school. The only
difference is that they have more time at their disposal without parents looking
over their shoulder.
As to me, college life is ideal if only I have abundant books to read, some
bosom friends to keep me company, a couple of conscientious professors to
instruct me.

+ 加入清单Its so convenient and interesting to join a tourist group. When you travel
with a tourist group, you don’t need to book plane and train tickets, and you
dont have to care about where to live and what to eat either, because the
travel agency will arrange everything for you. All you need to do is to follow
the tour guides. They will take you to all the places of interest. They will
tell you stories about the interesting places and help you to learn local
culture. This is called a package tour.
A cruise trip is so comfortable and relaxing. You travel on a large sea
cruiser and enjoy the beautiful scenery. When you come up to a nice place, you
can get off the cruiser and visit there. When you are on board, you can lie on
the deck, watching the blue sky, the white cloud and the bright sun, and you
will be free from stress. Besides, there are so many nice activities on the
cruise. For example, you can watch movies; you can see concerts; you can go
swimming in the swimming pool; you can play cards; you can play golf; you can
watch wonderful performances; and you can also attend dancing parties. Nothing
could be more wonderful and relaxing.
Nowadays, backpacking tour has become so popular. Its not just a low-cost
travel for budget travelers, but also a nice entertainment. When you have a
backpacking tour, you can use public transportations like buses and subways and
stay in hostels instead of big hotels, which can save you a lot of money. Today,
this kind of travel is especially popular with young people, because they can
discover the interesting places and know more about the local cultures by
themselves. Its so exciting.
If you want to have a better understanding of a place, you can have a slow
travel. When you have a slow travel, you had better spend at least one week
living in one place, stay with a local family and visit interesting sites near
your living instead of rushing around for a long day to see the must-sees. In
this way, you can make more local friends, taste local food, and know the local
traditions and customs deeper. Only so can you become more knowledgeable and
widen your experience.
It depends on your need to choose the way you want to travel.
篇11:关于元宵节英语
全文共 6620 字
+ 加入清单There are many different beliefs about the origin of the Lantern Festival.
But one thing for sure is that it had something to do with celebrating and
cultivating positive relationship between people, families, nature and the
higher beings they believed were responsible for bringing/returning the light
each year.
One legend tells us that it was a time to worship Taiyi, the God of Heaven
in ancient times. The belief was that the God of Heaven controlled the destiny
of the human world. He had sixteen dragons at his beck and call and he decided
when to inflict drought, storms, famine or pestilence upon human beings.
Beginning with Qinshihuang, the first emperor to unite the country, all the
emperors ordered splendid ceremonies each year. The emperor would ask Taiyi to
bring favorable weather and good health to him and his people. Emperor Wudi of
the Han Dynasty directed special attention to this event. In 104 BC, he
proclaimed it as one of the most important celebrations and the ceremony would
last throughout the night. They clean it all up in the morning.
Another legend associates the Lantern Festival with Taoism. Tianguan is the
Taoist god responsible for good fortune. His birthday falls on the 15th day of
the first lunar month. It is said that Tianguan likes all types of
entertainment, so followers prepare various kinds of activities during which
they pray for good fortune.
Yet another common legend dealing with the origins of the Lantern Festival
speaks of a beautiful bird that flew down to earth from heaven, which was hunted
and killed by some villagers. This angered the Jade Emperor in Heaven because
the bird was his favorite one. Therefore, he planned a storm of fire to destroy
the village on the 15th lunar day. The Jade Emperors daughter heard of this
plan, and warned the villagers of her father’s plan to destroy their village.
The village was in turmoil because nobody knew how should they escape their
imminent destruction.
However, a wise man from another village suggested that every family should
hang red lanterns around their houses, set up bonfires on the streets, and
explode firecrackers on the 14th, 15th, and 16th lunar days. This would give the
village the appearance of being on fire to the Jade Emperor. On the 15th lunar
day, troops sent down from heaven whose mission was to destroy the village saw
that the village was already ablaze, and returned to heaven to report to the
Jade Emperor. Satisfied, the Jade Emperor decided not to burn down the village.
From that day on, people celebrate the anniversary on the 15th lunar day every
year by carrying red lanterns on the streets and exploding firecrackers and
fireworks.
There are many stories on how this festival was created. One other story is
about a maid. In the Han Dynasty, Mr. Eastern was a favorite advisor of the
emperor. One winter day, he went to the garden and heard a little girl crying
and getting ready to jump into a well to commit suicide. Mr. Eastern stopped her
and asked why. She said she was a maid in the emperors palace and her name was
Yuan-Xiao.
She never had the chance to meet her family after she started worked at the
palace. She missed them so much every 12th lunar month. If she couldnt have the
chance to show her filial piety in this life, she would rather die. Mr. Eastern
promised her to find a way so she could reunion with her family. Mr. Eastern
left the palace and set up a fortune-telling stall on the street and disguised
himself as a fortuneteller. Because of his reputation, many people asked for
their fortunes.
But every one got the same prediction - a severe fire accident on the 15th
lunar day. The rumor spread quickly. Everyone was worried about the future and
asked Mr. Eastern for help. Mr. Eastern said, "On the 13th lunar day, the God of
Fire will send a fairy lady in red to burn down the city. If you see a lady in
red wearing green pants riding a black horse on that day, you should ask for her
mercy." On that day, Yuan-Xiao pretended to be the red fairy lady. When people
asked for her help, she said, "Im the messenger of the God of Fire and came to
check on the city and Im going to set up fire on 15th. This is an order from
Jade Emperor. He will watch from the heavens.
I will give you a copy of the imperial decree from the God of Fire. You
should go to ask your emperor to find a way out." After she left, people went to
the palace to show the emperor the decree which reads "The capital city is in
trouble. Fire burns on the palace, and fire from Heaven burns all night long on
the 15th." The emperor of Han Dynasty was very shocked. He called and asked Mr.
Eastern for advice. After pondering for a while, Mr. Eastern said, "I heard that
the God of Fire likes to eat Tang-Yuan (Sweet dumpling). Does Yuan-Xiao often
cook Tang-Yuan for you? On the 15th lunar day, let Yuan-Xiao make Tang-Yuan.
Your Majesty will take charge of the worshipping ceremony and you will give
an order to every house to prepare Tang-Yuan to worship the God of Fire at the
same time. Also, deliver another order to ask every house in the city to hang
red lantern and explode fire crackers. Lastly, everyone in the palace and people
outside the city should carry their lanterns on the street to watch the lantern
decoration and fireworks. If everything goes this way, the Jade Emperor would be
deceived.
Then everyone can avoid the fire accident." The emperor happily followed
the plan. Lanterns were everywhere in the capital city on the night of the 15th
lunar day. People were walking on the street. Fire crackers kept making lots of
noise. It looked like the entire city was on fire. Yuan-Xiaos parents went into
the palace to watch the lantern decorations, and Yuan-Xiao made a big lantern
and wrote her name on the lantern. They happily reunited together after her
parents called her name. Everybody was safe during the night. The emperor of Han
Dynasty had a new order that people should do the same thing every year. Since
Yuan-Xiao cooked the best Tan-Yuan, people called the day Yuan-Xiao
Festival.
Young people were chaperoned in the streets in hopes of finding love.
Matchmakers acted busily in hopes of pairing couples. The brightest lanterns
were symbolic of good luck and hope. As time has passed, the festival no longer
has such implications.
Those who do not carry lanterns often enjoy watching informal lantern
parades. In addition to eating tangyuan (simplified Chinese: 汤圆; traditional
Chinese: 湯圓; pinyin: tāngyuán), another popular activity at this festival is
guessing lantern riddles (which became part of the festival during the Tang
Dynasty), which often contain messages of good fortune, family reunion, abundant
harvest, prosperity and love.

about what do we have in our youth, the fight, the drink or the love? My answer
is no. What we see from the movie is not true, the plots are exaggerated and
misunderstood. For students, their youth is the process of fighting. They have
studied so hard to realize their dreams. When they are in primary school, they
want to do well and make their parents be proud of them. When they are in middle
school and high school, they need to take part in the exams so as to enter the
better future schools. Even they are in college, they still need to study and
fight for the ideal job. There is no doubt that most people keep fighting for
their future and this is the memory of youth.

and making friends, being less going out. We should use cell phone properly.
篇14:高三英语作文传统文化100词
全文共 1801 字
+ 加入清单It seems we are living in the conflict between modern and traditional
cultures every day. Hearing the blaring of horns the moment you step out of your
house, seeing the so called "pop" the moment you open your eyes, you cant help
thinking, "Will the traditional culture be gradually lost?"
Many people believe so. They may put right in front of you all the
evidences they can dig out. They may argue that people are rushing to
restaurants instead of cooking at home, listening to pop music but not
traditional, wearing in a way people couldnt imagine ten years ago. Modern
people like the air of freedom, not to be restrained by traditions. They offer
this long list, only trying to confirm that this world is full of
fashion,competition and temptation and the traditional culture is fading and
will be lost at last.
Though we are now living in a world in which undeclared aggression, war,
hypocrisy, chicanery, anarchy are part of our daily life. Though this is a
skeptical age, and our faith has weakened, our confidence in some aspects of the
traditional culture should and would never be lost.
Wouldnt you agree that our traditional culture is always credited with
modesty, politeness and respectfulness, which have always been treasured for
more than five thousand years?Even in this modern world, people still admire
those with good manners, those who are polite to others or respectful to old
people.
Wouldnt you agree that our Chinese traditional music is beautiful and
artistic and our Chinese tea culture is always an appealing treasure to people
around the world?
So there may just be some changes in our lifestyle or our attitudes towards
life, but little change occurs to some fundamental aspects of our traditional
culture that people still treasure in heart.
The traditional culture will never be lost, I believe.

These activities range from academic to recreational, such as academic reports,
social consulting services, speech contests, poet’s club, painting clubs,

These activities provide students with two major advantages. First of all,
they play a positive role in improving students’ studies. Due to their heavy
schedules, students are often busy themselves with textbooks and seldom expose
themselves to a colorful life. But the variety of the activities provides
opportunities for them to relax themselves and enrich their minds and knowledge.
In addition, the activities also serve students living in the “ivory tower” have

They believe with the right kind of guidance and help campus activities will

+ 加入清单Many years ago, some scholars were strongly against the certification of
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.
篇18:关于改变自己英语
全文共 2194 字
+ 加入清单In our daily life, we can learn something from some cases. However, from my
point of view, I think that it is essential for us to know ourselves in a right
way. People who have a full awareness of the importance to improve themselves
will discover themselves continuously. Therefore, we can say that if we want to
change ourselves, we must bravely reveal ourselves.
Every coin has two sides, and we are no exception. When we experience some
situations, we will find that there are many advantages of us. Thus, we can have
a huge sense of satisfaction. We may have a little pride, because we are happy
that we can make good use of our advantages to solve more difficult problems in
the future. However, at the same time, we also can realize that there are still
some disadvantages of us. These disadvantages will bring us different
influences. I’d like to point out that people who can bravely accept and remove
their disadvantages will gain a bright future. On the contrary, people who
choose escape or ignorance their disadvantages will indulge themselves, and they
no further progress.
Don’t indulge yourself. If we indulge ourselves, we will meet more terrible
suffering in our later life. I know that when we find our weakness, we may say
that I will never do that again, and regret doing so meaningless thing. I am
such a fool. But when we meet similar situations next time, we will still tell
ourselves that it doesn’t matter that I do it again. Then we will indulge
ourselves to expand our disadvantages. It shows that some people who have no own
principle will fail to realize their promises. When we can overcome our
laziness, we will understand that solving some problems may be not so difficult.
Therefore, we should try our best to control ourselves to pursue higher
development.
There are no any excuses to indulge yourself. We should tell ourselves that
we are capable to overcome our weakness, though it needs much time. However, if
we succeed once, then we will be successful again. Last, we don’t indulge
ourselves. We will become more complete.
Everyone can take actions to improve themselves. Don’t indulge yourself. If
you succeed, you will acquire a huge wealth, and your life will become more
brilliant.
