篇2:小学生关于交通安全演讲稿800字

全文共 1050 字

+ 加入清单

【导读】: 人让车,让出一片温情,让出一片秩序;车让人,让出一片安全,让出一片理解。交通安全是我们最好的朋友,它将永远保护着我们,带给我们幸福,让我们争做文明守法的好学生吧!

【正文】:

安全是我们应该时刻都谨记的,我们要有安全的意识,更要知道安全的知识。“遵守交通规则”,是个很重要的问题,不是一句空话。我们不仅要把这句话挂在嘴边,还要把它深深地记在心上,把交通安全放在首位,让交通事故发生的可能性变得越来越少。让我们在安全的包围下快乐、健康地成长,建设自己美丽的家园!

生命是唯一的,也是宝贵的,人的一生就只有一次生命,我们应该爱惜生命。注意交通安全也是爱惜生命的一部分。现在因为交通事故而死于非命的人太多了,难道他们不是死的太冤枉了吗?我曾经看到这样一起交通安全事故:那天阳光明媚,我和妈妈去上街,开着车路过太极山时,发生了悲惨的交通事故。当我们路过的时候,悲剧已经发生了。一对母女俩儿,骑着电瓶车经过马路的时候,一辆装满货物的大卡车迎面驶来,由于是下坡路段,货物过重刹车刹不住,撞上了母女俩所骑着的电瓶车,霎时间,母女俩随着车轮的滚动被卷进了车轮下,真惨呀!人肉变成了肉泥血流了一地,我都不忍心再看下去了。如果那个货车司机少拉一点货刹车也能刹住,悲剧就不会发生了。

现在城市交通繁忙了,悲惨的交通事故在国内多如繁星,因为我国交通事故死伤率位居世界首位。当在酒后驾车发生的交通事故也数不胜数。亲爱的叔叔阿姨们,当你们行驶在马路上,你是否牢记交通安全法则呢?在时速40公里您可以欣赏美景;60公里以上,那么今晚您将坐客公安局;80公里以上您可以见到最好的骨伤科医生;时速100公里以上,您可以享受到最周到最优惠的伤葬服务,为了不享受这些待遇请您开车时不要打电话或接电话,不要超载,酒后驾车更是万万不能了!

人让车,让出一片温情,让出一片秩序;车让人,让出一片安全,让出一片理解。在这个世界上,只有人与车互相谦让,才能尽可能地避免交通事故的发生,减少死亡的人数,珍爱宝贵的生命。“十年树木,百年树人”,交通安全宣传教育工作应从幼儿、学生抓起,使我们从小就接受交通安全知识教育,达到自己教育自己,自己管理自己,养成自觉遵守交通法规的良好习惯。

让我们一起携起手把“交通安全”这四个字在心里永远扎下根,让全世界人民都自觉遵守交通规则,让交通事故永远在我们生活中消失,让我们的明天充满鲜花,充满阳光。交通安全是我们最好的朋友,它将永远保护着我们,带给我们幸福,让我们争做文明守法的好学生吧!篇二:交通安全征文800字

We all wish (hope) to be happy, so we should take good care of our

health。

Health is the best treasure (which) a man can possess。 Money can do many

things, but it cannot buy happiness。 However, so long as man has good health, he

can enjoy the pleasures of human life。

In order to insure good health we must pay attention to three things。 They

are-nourishing food, fresh air and proper exercise。

我们大家都期望快乐,所以我们就应好好保重健康。一个病人因为失去健康而很少快乐。

篇7:外教中国:用地道的英文请假

全文共 693 字

+ 加入清单

身体不舒服、家里有急事儿,耽误了上班上学,你知道到该怎么请假吗?英文里跟请假有关的说法有很多种,一起来看看吧!

1. Ask for leave

Leave在这里不是“离开”,而是“准休假“的意思。这个词组的用法比较灵活。你可以说:I have to ask for leave tomorrow morning.

我明天上午不得不请假了。

如果请假不止一天,还可以说ask for 2 days leave 请两天的假

2. Take (something) off

看到这个词组,别告诉小编你只知道它是“起飞”的意思。请假也可以用它哦!

例句:Mr Smith, my dads here visiting me and Id like to take two days off to show him around the city.

史密斯先生,我爸爸要来看我,所以我想请两天假,带他到处转转。

3. Call in sick

病得实在爬不起来,连打开电脑发邮件的力气都没有?试试这个吧!“Call in sick”意思是”打电话请假“,

例句:I dont feel well this morning. Perhaps I ought to call in sick.我今天早上感觉不太舒服,或许我该打电话请个假了。

4. Pull a sickie

还有一种请假叫做装病。Sickie在俚语里指“病假”,但是pull a sickie意思则是“请假装病”。

例如: He took/pulled/threw a sickie to go to the football game.

他请假装病看球去了。

穿岁月峰头,伴历史云烟,中国共产主义青年团走过了80年的风雨征程。五四运动至今,一代代优秀青年为民族复兴作出了卓越的贡献;循火红足迹,经坎坷征程,一代代优秀青年紧跟共产党,始终站在时代的峰顶浪尖!青春不停步,“永远跟党走”!

“我们是五月的花海,用青春拥抱时代。我们是初升的太阳,用生命点燃未来。“五四”的火炬,唤起了民族的觉醒。壮丽的事业,激励着我们继往开来。光荣啊,中国共青团!母亲用共产主义为我们命名,我们开创新的世界。”当我们戴着光芒四射的团徽,站在火红的团旗下,高唱我们自己的团歌,心中怎能不为之激动,怎能不为之骄傲,怎能不为之自豪!“爱国,爱党,爱人民,爱家乡”这个坚定的信念在我们脑海中回荡!

朋友们,还记得五年前我们的家乡是什么样子吗?几条破旧的马路,几座零落的楼房,这就可以概括我们章丘的全貌了。再看看现在吧!十多条主干道纵横交错贯穿东西南北,从荷花公园到百脉泉广场,从眼明泉搭桥到明珠小区,到处洋溢着现代化的气息,透露着春的绿意,焕发着勃勃的生机!在这幅美丽的画卷上处处点缀着青年活跃的身影,是他们以高度的责任感和奉献精神,保障着道路的畅通,保护着优美的环境,维护着社会的安定团结¨¨¨,在各行各业中,在党的坚强领导下,共青团带领青年们在我们城市建设的宏伟蓝图上勾画出最为亮丽的色彩!

伴随着江总书记“三个代表”重要思想和“以德治国”方略的提出,党有号召,团有行动。为此,团市委提出“高举旗子,不变调子,喊响号子,建好班子,推动总体工作再上台子”的指导思路。在“三个代表”学习教育活动和“以德治市”的号召下,开展了“走白村、串千户、访民意、聚民心”及“三个代表”重要思想征文活动,使团的工作真正想青年之所想,急青年之所急,谋青年之所求,切实把广大青年吸引到团的旗帜下,团结在党的周围!

从伟大的共产主义战士雷锋到以服务祖国需要为乐的王杰,从自学成材的张海迪到科技创新的秦文贵,从11名“中国青年五四奖章”获得者到我们身边的每一位青年星火科技带头人,他们在人民利益的大厦上添砖加瓦,他们以崇高理想和坚定信念为新时期广大青年实践“三个代表”“以德治市”树起了标杆!正是他们在党的旗帜的指引下,和千百条各战线上的青年模范一起,演绎了一幕幕惊天地、泣鬼神的青春活剧,谱写了一曲曲壮丽雄浑的青春赞歌!

改革开放以来,适应党的工作中心的转移,共青团贯彻执行党的基本路线,紧紧围绕经济建设这一中心,团结带领广大青年向科学技术进军!我市更是提出了建“工业强市”的战略目标,我市共青团把青年创新创效作为工作的总抓手,积极推行“青年创新创效意见卡”,争创“青年文明号”和争作“青年岗位能手”,号召全市广大青工开发新产品,创造新工艺、推广新技术、转化新成果“四个一”活动和小发明、小革新、小改造、小设计、小建仪“五个小”活动为载体,广泛开展青年群体性科技创新活动。仅去年一年就取得青年创新创效成果28项,其中××集团公司团委委员××主持的平行线革新项目和市人民医院青年医生××发明的腭裂修补技术填补省级空白,创造了良好的经济效益和社会效益,为我市工业强市战略的实施做出了巨大的贡献!在经济大潮中,我们共青团之所以取得如此的成就,始终保持着青春和活力,归根到底是因为我们始终坚持党的领导,在党的旗帜的指引下前进!

20世纪中国的历史,写下了中国共青团和中国青年的光荣,21世纪期待我们创造新的青春辉煌。青年昭示着未来,江总书记在庆祝中国共产党80周年大会上向青年一代发出号召“全国各族青年,代表着我们祖国和民族的未来,代表着我们事业兴旺发达的希望。社会主义现代化的宏伟事业需要你们去建设,中华民族的伟大复兴将在你们手中实现。”党在召唤,时代在召唤,只要我们以“崇高的理想、创新的意识、无畏的勇气”发挥青年的智慧、风采和力量,就能乘风破浪、与时俱进!青年朋友们,让我们团结一致,永远跟党走。

It is truth that gender discrimination still exists when female comes to find work, some females never mention her gender on the resume, just to make sure that the employers will give them the chances to get the interview. Females should improve their competiveness, so that they will have more work chances.

事实上,当女性去找工作的时候,性别歧视仍然存在,一些女性从来不在简历上提到自己的性别,仅仅是为了确保雇主能给她们机会面试。女性应该提高她们的竞争力,这样她们就会有的工作机会。

First, the female should show their positive attitudes toward the life and work. Female students should see their advantages clearly before hunting for a job, and highlight it in their resumes. For instance, they might emphasize that they are careful and considerate in work, patient and cooperate with colleagues as well. But the positive toward life and work brings them to a high level, which will impress the employer.

第一,女性应该展示她们乐观的生活和工作态度。女学生应该在找工作前清楚地了解她们的优势,并在简历上面强调。比如,她们可以强调她们在工作上认真和细心,对同事有耐心和乐于合作。但是乐观的生活和工作态度能让她们更上一个台阶,也能给雇主留下深刻的印象。

Second, female students must be confident. Lots of big companies like to hold a group discussion to select people, those who are silent and find it difficult to get involved in the discussion will not be considered. The employers think such people are not confident and won’t do well in the work.

第二,女学生必须自信。很多大型公司喜欢举行小组讨论来选人,那些保持沉默和难以融入讨论的人是不被考虑在内的。雇佣者认为这样的人不自信,无法胜任工作。

Making friends is a skill like many other skills. it improves with practice. if you want to meet people and make friends, you must be willing to take some actions. you must first go where there are people. you won’t make friends staying home alone. join a club or a group. taking with those who like the same things as you do is much easier. or join someone in some activities. many people are nervous when talking to new people. after all meeting strangers means facing the unknown. and it’s human nature to feel a bit uncomfortable about the unknown. most of our fears about dealing with new people come from doubts about ourselves. we imagine other people are judging us of finding us too tall or to short, too this or too that. but don’t forget that they must be feeling the same way. try to accept yourself as you are and try to put the other person at ease. you’ll both feel more comfortable.

Try to be self-comfident even if you don’t feel that way. when you enter a room full of strangers, such as a new classroom, walk tall and straight, look directly at other people and smile.

If you see someone you like to speak to, say something . don’t wait for the other person to start a conversation.

Just meeting someone new does not mean that you will make friends with that person-friendship is based on mutual liking and “give and take”. it takes time and effort to develop.
