How to Make Friends

It’s hard to makefriends if you stay alone all the time. It’s easier to

make friends whenyou have similar interests. Look at people in the eyes when you

talk to them. Don’t be afraid to show people whatyou are really good at. Talk

about the things you like and do best. Be a goodlistener. Let people talk about

themselves before talking about yourself. Be friendly to a lot of people. Try to

help your friends when they are in trouble because a friend in need is a

friendindeed. That way you’ll have a bigger group to choose from and havemore

chances to make friends.

篇5:春节活动的英文作文

+ 加入清单

Christmas arouses increasing attention year by year in China. Christmas cards become popular with students. People hold Christmas parties and exchange Christmas girts. A lot or TV and radio programs about Christmas are on. Meanwhile the Spring Festival is less appealing (有吸引力的)to youngsters. Thus some people wonder whether Christmas will replace the Spring Festival.

This worry is fairly unnecessary. Why ?One reason lies that Christmas only affects Christians,college students and joint-venture (合资企业)workers. Another reason is that Christmas is mostly celebrated in cities. Few people in countryside show extreme interest in this exotic(带有异国情调的)festival. By contrast,the Spring Festival is the most influential traditional festival in every family.

I think,it is natural that with increasing exchanges with the West,a lot of Western holidays have been gradually introduced into China. For us Chinese we should never neglect or even discard our own traditional festivals. For centuries Chinese have observed this traditional holiday to welcome the beginning of a new year. And we will treasure the Spring Festival forever.

What’s more, we usually have a variety of activities about graduation, such as taking photos, having a class party, leaving words to each other in our memory collections, exchanging gifts between friends to memorize our friendship, giving teacher presents to express our thanks.

"Castaway" read three times, I am on this level, no matter what the movie does not look three times, not what to write. I share these views, only people who have seen the film.

No wonder at the beginning of the intersection and the manor wings to take a shot, and later know that they affect the grams under different circumstances will make what kind of life decision.

Mrs. Pedersen: all right. See you Thursday". Its time to meet again, but four years later!

No Cha Ke, first heard from a time ruthless dominate us "let us begin to gradually realize he is a FedEx staff, because of work, all flying, receive mail, mail classification, mail delivery, supervision of staff, these things make him a must to deal with time, to race with time. "The appalling, relentless taskmaster tries to put us out of business, we have only so much time......." this is a very clear and powerful.

People work hard. Hes a great worker.

Although the work is heavy, but Richard has the confidence and ability to organize it well. At the same time, he didnt spend much time in other life, so he met his fiancee Kylie, and his date was pushed to the point where he couldnt push any more. Even for Kellys new years Eve gifts, there was no way to wait until that day. I guess that might be a wedding ring, and thats what Kylie should have guessed, or how excited she was when she saw this gift, and she said, "Im so nervous". Although he was busy, he knew how to care for his friends. When he learned that his friend Stans lover, Marie, was sick, he said enthusiastically, "I heard that there was a doctor in Atlanta... I went to find the phone number."". Never forget to chuck his fiancee Kylie sent more care, three gifts carefully prepared for her Christmas as evidenced by: Kylie in Phnom Penh notebook to write their chemical papers; pagers -- wherever they are, how far, can let each other to hear each others voices; - in the words of Kylie when I wash the towel, will think of you. So Kylie is in love with chuck. When chuck saw Kylie gave his Christmas gifts when said: "I love this paper... I love this box...", for work in the FedEx staff, he deserves praise only two kinds of packaging, or love, as long as we send a gift on even the packaging will be beautiful, or is indeed very beautiful, see Kylies heart of love. Look at whats inside, a pocket watch, a pocket watch left by grandpa, a picture of Kylies favorite, and then, when he flies around, he carries his watch and carries Kylies sincere love. "I kept it on Memphis time - Kylie time". No need to explain, everyone can feel the chic of their love, love of comfort!

Chuck is full of life in such a tense, busy and happy, love love and be loved in the world, his passion into work, look forward to working with Kylie and married happy happy tomorrow.

The weather is unpredictable, people have good and bad fortune, the old words have to be talking about people, the fact is such a kind of. Maybe you hope for your life is not very high, perhaps you dont complain about your life is where misfortune, maybe you just have a job every day, something to eat in peace had nothing to do, but not the fate, not because you require a small setback will give you less. There is no sign in the case of chuck riding in a plane crash, in the middle of the night, the South Pacific, all personnel on board on... "...! A part of accident" is life, when it comes, also cannot hide. Ha ha, go to blame who, useless. Some people say that "God is in close to you when the door all dont forget to leave you a window", the aircraft heavy sea, by the pressure of breaking the silo top is not God left a window Chahar grams, if yes, where is the window of the other crew members? Well, I pause here for the fate of fair comment, chuck to accept the fact that only he survived, but also to face alone do not know the end of the island to survive.

Write help signals on the beach, try to pull away, expect the bow to pass the boat suddenly appear, slowly check grams disappointed. Every day, only merciless waves come to the island and recede, but do not swallow, the sea, you simply together with Rick to the island to drown it!

There is only one chuck, a buoy, a watch, a volleyball, a storage little flashlight, he will be here, on this island, away from the hustle and bustle of life in the past, can not imagine living conditions alone without life expectations, even the rest of my life! Yes, he thought of poor Dutch act, deprived him of his right to choose a rope to the end of your life. Perhaps he was desperate, or perhaps numb, but Kylie in the pocket watch was still smiling at the head of the man, who was smiling at the top of his head. "Well, Im still alive, and I still need to eat."."

荒岛余生》看了三遍,就我这水平,不管什么电影不看三遍,写不出啥观后感来。我这些浅见,仅供看过此片的人分享。

怪不得一开始会给那个十字路口还有庄园里的翅膀来个镜头,后来方知它们都影响着察克在不同境遇下会做出什么样的人生决定。

彼得森太太:“好,星期四见”。是又见面了,不过是四年以后!

未见察克其人,先闻其声,从一句“时间无情的支配着我们”开始让我们逐渐认识到了他是一位联邦快递人员,因工作关系,一天到晚飞来飞去,接收邮件,分类邮件,送递邮件,督导员工,种种这些事情让他必须和时间打交道,跟时间赛跑。“在那令人心惊,无情的监工试图令我们失业之前,我们只有这么多时间.......”这是一句多么明确而有力的催人努力工作的话。他是一位挺棒的工作者。

虽然工作紧张繁重,不过察克有信心和能力来有条理的很好完成它。同时他在其他生活上就没有了太多的时间,以至于和未婚妻凯莉见面,约会都推到不能再推的地步。甚至对凯利准备的除夕礼物都没有办法等到那天给她。我猜那可能是求婚戒指,凯莉也应该是这样猜的吧,不然在她看到这份礼物时怎么会带有那么兴奋的表情说:“我好紧张”。尽管察克很忙,但他懂得关心朋友,当得知朋友史丹的爱人玛丽患病时察克就热情的说“我听说在亚特兰大有个医生.......我去找电话号码”。察克也从未忘记给自己的未婚妻凯莉送去更多关怀,圣诞节为她精心准备的三样礼物就足可见证:金边笔记本——凯莉可以在上面写上自己的化学论文;传呼机——不管他们身在何方,距离多远,都可以让彼此听到对方的声音;毛巾——用凯莉的话说,当我洗脸的时候就会想起你。那么凯莉也是深爱着察克的,当察克看到凯莉送给他的圣诞礼物时说:“我喜欢这包装纸......我喜欢这盒子”,对于在联邦快递工作的人员来说,值得他夸奖的包装只有两种解释,要么爱屋及乌,只要凯立送的礼物就连包装也会感到漂亮,要么就是确实很精美,看得出凯莉的爱之用心。再看里面是什么,一颗怀表,爷爷留下的怀表,镶上察克最喜欢的凯莉照片,以后察克再飞来飞去的时候,一边怀揣着怀表,一边怀揣着凯莉真挚的爱。“我让它保持在孟菲斯时间上——凯莉时间”。不用多解释,谁都能感受到他们这份爱的别致,爱的惬意!

察克就是生活在这么一个紧张而又充实,忙碌而又快乐,爱其所爱的人而又被人爱着的世界里,他热情的投入工作中,又欣喜的期待与凯莉完婚的美好明天。

天有不测风云,人有旦夕祸福,这句话不得不老被人说起,事实就是这么个样。或许你对自己的人生寄望并不很高,或许你并没有抱怨自己的生活有哪里的不幸,或许你只想着每天有活干,有东西吃,平平安安就别无所求了,可是不是,命运不因你的要求有多小就会给你的挫折少。在没有多余征兆的情况下,察克所乘飞机失事,深夜里,南太平洋上,机上所有人员命在旦夕......!“意外”也是人生中的一部分,当它来临时,躲也躲不掉。呵呵,去埋怨谁吗,没用。有人说“上帝在向你关闭所有门的时候不忘给你留下一扇窗”,飞机沉海后,被水压冲破的仓顶是不是上帝留给察克的一扇窗呢,如果是,那么其他机组人员的那扇窗在哪里?好了,我在此暂停对命运公平的议论,察克要接受的事实就是只有他活下来了,而且要面对独自一个人不知终期的孤岛求生。

在沙滩上写求救信号,试图划水离开,期盼哪艏顺过的航船突然出现,慢慢的察克失望了。每日只有无情的海浪向着小岛涌来又退去,却不吞噬,大海呀,你就干脆连同察克一起把这小岛给淹没吧!

这儿只有察克一人,一个救生圈,一颗怀表,一只排球,一个蓄电不多的手电筒,他要在这里,这个荒岛上,离开往日生活的喧嚣,在无法想象的生存条件下,独自度过没有预期的生命历程,甚至是余生!是的,他想过要自杀,粗劣的绳子剥夺了他选折如何结束自己生命的权利。或许他已经绝望了,也或许麻木了,然而怀表里的凯莉依然对着察克在微笑,头顶落下的椰子正中察克头上,“好吧,我还活着,我还需要吃的。”

尊敬的各位领导、老师:

大家好!

五千年的沧桑镌刻缔造了一个刚强不屈的中华民族,这个民族团结友爱、和平幸福,这个民族里的人都有一个响亮的名字:中国人!

展开历史的画卷,那一幕幕,让我们刻骨铭心;那一幕幕,让我们痛心疾首;那一幕幕,让我们现代人感到无能为力!我们的祖国,蒙受了多少屈辱:从不平的条约到“九?一八”事变,从南京大屠杀到黄海战役,还有:近代战争、百团大战、台儿庄战役……还有令人发指的“三光”政策,这一切的一切,都向世人昭示着侵略者的滔天罪行!

但中国是侵略者用千方百计也不可能摧残的!主席曾经说过:“我们的民族将再也不是一个被人侮辱的民族了,我们已再站起来了!”这注定,中国人不再是“东亚病夫”,不再是“亡国奴”,不再是案板上的肉——任人宰割!

虎门上空的最后一缕硝烟已经散尽;一张发黄的旧纸条淹没人世;所有死于战争中的英雄和无辜的人们真正安息。在中华人民共和国成立的那一刻,五十四门大炮一齐打响了二十八响,这象征着从中国共产党的成立到中华人民共和国的建立,经过了二十八年艰苦卓绝的斗争!

这一刻,让所有的语言化成泪水,撒落在这片充满了爱的国土上;这一刻,让所有沉积在心中的爱都化成祝福,祝福祖国更加辉煌,更加灿烂的明天!

篇15:温斯顿·丘吉尔:生活侧记-名人传记英文故事

全文共 4543 字

+ 加入清单

My father, Winston Churchill, began his love affair with painting in his 40s, amid disastrous circumstances. As First Lord of the Admiralty in 1915, he was deeply involved in a campaign in the Dardanelles that could have shortened the course of a bloody world war. But when the mission failed, with great loss of life, Churchill paid the price, both publicly and privately. He was removed from the admiralty and effectively sidelined.

Overwhelmed by the catastrophe — “I thought he would die of grief,” said his wife, Clementine —he retired with his family to Hoe Farm, a country retreat in Surrey. There, as Churchill later recalled, “The muse of painting came to my rescue!”

Wandering in the garden one day, he chanced upon his sister-in-law sketching with watercolors. He watched her for a few minutes, then borrowed her brush and tried his hand. The muse had cast her spell!

Churchill soon decided to experiment with oils. Delighted with this distraction from his dark broodings, Clementine rushed off to buy whatever paints she could find.

For Churchill, however, the next step seemed difficult as he contemplated with unaccustomed nervousness the blameless whiteness of a new canvas. He started with the sky and later described how “very gingerly I mixed a little blue paint on the palette, and then with infinite precaution made a mark about as big as a bean upon the affronted snow-white shield. At that moment the sound of a motor car was heard in the drive. From this chariot stepped the gifted wife of Sir John Lavery .”

“ ‘Painting!’ she declared. ‘But what are you hesitating about? Let me have the brush — the big one.’ Splash into the turpentine, wallop into the blue and the white, frantic flourish on the palette, and then several fierce strokes and slashes of blue on the absolutely cowering canvas.”

At that time, John Lavery— a Churchill neighbor and celebrated painter— was tutoring Churchill in his art. Later, Lavery said of his unusual pupil: “Had he chosen painting instead of statesmanship, I believe he would have been a great master with the brush.”

In painting, Churchill had discovered a companion with whom he was to walk for the greater part of the years that remained to him. After the war, painting would offer deep solace when, in 1921, the death of the mother was followed two months later by the loss of his and Clementine’s beloved three-year-old daughter, Marigold. Battered by grief, Winston took refuge at the home of friends in Scotland, finding comfort in his painting. He wrote to Clementine: “I went out and painted a beautiful river in the afternoon light with crimson and golden hills in the background. Alas I keep feeling the hurt of the Duckadilly (Marigold’s pet name).”

Historians have called the decade after 1929, when the Conservative government fell and Winston was out of office, his wilderness years. Politically he may have been wandering in barren places, a lonely fighter trying to awaken Britain to the menace of Hitler, but artistically that wilderness bore abundant fruit. During these years he often painted in the South of France. Of the 500-odd canvases extant, roughly 250 date from 1930 to 1939.

Painting remained a joy to Churchill to the end of his life. “Happy are the painters,” he had written in his book Painting as a Pastime, “ for they shall not be lonely. Light and color, peace and hope, will keep them company to the end of the day.” And so it was for my father.

我的父亲,温斯顿·丘吉尔,在他四十多岁时开始迷恋上绘画,当时环境异常恶劣。那是在1915年,任海军大臣的他,积极投身于在达达尼尔海峡的一场战役中,这场战役本可以缩短那段血雨腥风的世界大战。但由于遭受失败,伤亡惨重,丘吉尔于公于私都付出了代价。他被从海军部调离且实则坐起了冷板凳。

在灾难的折磨下——他的妻子克莱门廷说:“我想他会痛苦而死,”——他携家带口来到萨利郡的一处乡间静居霍·华姆。在那儿,丘吉尔后来回忆道,“是绘画中的冥思拯救了我!”

一天他在花园散步时,偶然看到他的弟媳在用水彩作画。他观察了几分钟,然后向她借了画笔并一试身手。他的专注仿佛给他施了魔法!

丘吉尔很快就决定试试去画油画。看到他从阴暗的忧郁思中解脱出来,克莱门廷非常开心,她赶忙去买所有能买到的颜料。

然而,迈出下一步似乎有些困难,因为丘吉尔看到一块新画布的洁白无暇时感到无所适从和为难。他先从天空画起,后来他描述如何“非常谨慎地在调色板上加入一点儿蓝色调,然后以万分的小心,在这块被蓄意冒犯的雪白的防护板上点上豌豆大的一笔。这时,传来一阵驾驶机动车的马达声。约翰·拉威利先生才华出众的太太从这辆车中姗然而下。

“‘在画画呀!’她高声说着。‘可你还在犹豫什么呢?给我那支笔——那支头号的。’只见松油飞溅,她在蓝白颜料间挥毫泼墨,在调色板上龙飞凤舞,接着在吓得发皱的油画布上用力东戳西捣几下蓝色。”

那时,约翰·拉威利——丘吉尔的邻居,也是一位有名的画家—正教丘吉尔学画。后来提及他的这位特殊的学生,拉威利说:“倘若他选择绘画而不是从政,我相信他会是位绘画大师的。”

在绘画中,丘吉尔找到了能陪他度过余生大部分时光的知已。战后,在1921年,母亲刚去世两个月,他和克莱门廷就失去了他们深爱着的三岁女儿玛丽戈尔德,这时作画给了他一些安慰。在痛苦的打击下,温斯顿来到苏格兰朋友们的家中以求得安慰,用绘画来解脱自己。他在给克莱门廷的信中说:“我出外画了一条夕阳下美丽的溪流,背后映衬着晚霞的群山。唉,达克迪莉(玛丽戈尔德的昵称)使我的苦痛总是挥之不去。

史学家把1929年后的十年,也就是保守党政府垮台而温斯顿下台的时间,称为他的荒凉岁月。政治上,他一直在举步维艰的处境中徘徊,是一个孤独的勇士在努力唤起受到希特勒威胁的国人,但在艺术上他在那荒凉岁月却硕果累累。这些年他经常在法国南部作画。在现存的500多张油画中,大约250张是1930至1939年间的作品。

绘画给丘吉尔带来了乐趣直到他的人生尽头。在他所著的《画中的消遣》里说:“画家其乐融融,因为他们不会孤独。光与色,和平与希望,会始终伴随他们。”我父亲就是这样一个人。

篇17:竞选副班长演讲稿

尊敬的老师,亲爱的同学们:

你们好!

在班里,我是一个平凡的小女孩,我并不是很优秀,但是我的内心是多彩多姿的,里面充满了许多关于有趣的学习问题。我也会帮助许多同学,帮助她们解决学习和生活中的困难。虽然这些事往往都是班上的班长来做的,所以,我这次竞选的就是副班长。

如果,这次竞选成功,我将会用满腔热情去工作,为同学们服务。拿破仑曾经说过:“不想当元帅的士兵,我是好士兵。”今天,我站在这里,我非常想对大家说:“我不仅要做元帅,而且要做一名出色的、成功的、能为大家做出贡献的元帅。”

既然是花,我就要开放;既然是树,我就要长成栋梁;既然是石头,我就要去铺出大路;既然是副班长,我就要做一位出色的元帅!

我相信,我能够胜任副班长这个职位,我将会用旺盛的精力和清晰的头脑,认真出色的工作。假如我落选了,我不会沮丧,我将会带着微笑走向下学期,养精蓄锐以待东山再起!当然,“落选”就像是沙漠里下暴雨,可能性极小。同学们,此时此刻,你们是否看到了我身上有一股自信之气在升腾呢?

同学们,请你们把神圣的一票投给我吧,我坚信我会把这个班级管理好的,做一个大家都敬佩的副班长!
