Grace is one of myclassmates. She is not good at study, though she usually works very hard. Maybeshe just doesn’t find the learning method suitable for her. In my mind, she isclever.

Thongh she is not good at study, she is popular in our class.

In allpeople’s mind, she is kind and optimistic. Treating everyone as friend, she hasno enemy.

As she doesn’t study well, it is hard to avoid feeling sad. However,everytime she just feels sad for a while and then recovers for the first one. Sometimesit is her who comforts us for not for not doing well in the exam. Look, she isso cute!

格瑞斯是我的一个同学。她学习不好,虽然她平时非常努力学习。也许她只是没有找到适合自己的学习方法而已。在我眼里,她是很聪明的。虽然她学习不好,但她在班里人缘很好。在所有人的眼里,她是友好,乐观的。她对待每个人都像朋友一样,所以她没有敌人。因为学习不好,难免会感到悲伤。但是,每次她都只是难过一会,就第一个恢复了。有时候还是她安慰我们这些因为考试不好而难过的人。看,她是如此的可爱!

篇2:我看共享单车作文500字

全文共 530 字

+ 加入清单

在我们这个信息爆炸的时代,人们的衣食起居一切从简,共享单车便应运而生。

在我看来,共享单车是这个时代的病毒。他的迅速蔓延分为两个方面。第一方面,人们在出现了共享单车后,立刻接受了对这种简洁环保的出行方式,可人们一部分接受,另一部分便破坏共享单车,而人们因此受伤的事也层出不穷。这样一来,人们对共享单车的信任度直线降低,单车并不止出现在路边,小区中,楼道中甚至河流中随处可见,导致现在社会的秩序无比混乱。

另一方面,据我所知,今年各大地区共涌现了70余家共享单车公司,不到两年,悉数倒闭,目前只剩下了半数的公司苦苦坚持。这并不全是消费者的责任,许多企业见这方面商机巨大,手握微不足道的资金开始做起这个事情。可是,他们何尝敌得过那些专业的,资金雄厚的产业?于是悉数倒闭,锁在路边的共享单车成了无人问津,甚至任人唾弃的废品。

人的欲望深不可测,但是这不应该意味着无尽的占有。也许现在共享单车方面的苟延残喘的局面全都是因为那无比贪婪的人心。也许会有好人,或许会有恶意,我们并没有方法去阻止。就像这白纸只有折成两面才能立在桌面上,这社会也有善恶两面。这个世界上没有绝对的好,也没有绝对的恶,标准全部来自我们自己的心。而我们能做的,就是做好自己。还世界一片蓝天,赠内心一片虔诚。

我是一辆共享单车,穿梭于上海的车水马龙。我的兄弟们——千千万万辆共享单车和我一起忙碌地穿梭着。看到他们的身影,我的思绪回到了那年冬天。

十月的上海,落英缤纷,有些微凉。人们匆匆忙忙走在大街上,拿着手机,听着音乐。似乎没有人察觉到我的存在。即使有人看见我,也只是瞟了一眼罢了。

我感到很伤心,在彷徨与寂寞中,我想对天大喊:“我是为你们而来啊,为了节省你们的时间啊,为了让你们的出行更方便啊!”但,我不能大喊。我只能在北风呼啸中瑟瑟发抖,看着人们匆匆瞟我一眼,又匆匆离去。

不知道我在街道拐角处呆了多久,只记得朦胧中有人朝我走来,是个白领,他掏出手机,扫了扫我背上的二维码。霎时间,苦闷之情才下眉头,喜悦之情涌上心头。他骑在我的背上,蹬着我的双腿。虽然有些沉重,但是我终于能为他们服务了。“为你,千千万万遍!”我心中默默想着。

走过一个又一个红绿灯,经过一座又一座高楼,即使很辛苦,但是只要能为人们服务,哪怕自己被融化成铁水,我也心甘情愿!

街上匆匆行走的人们,纷纷向我投来惊讶与赞赏的目光,我望了一眼白领,他正在向那些堵车的同事比划着胜利的手势,惊讶的同事们纷纷张大了嘴,久久不能合拢。

现在我心中不仅只有喜悦之情,还为自己能为人们服务,为他们节省更多时间而感到骄傲和自豪。我加快了脚步,不知不觉中目的地到了。那位白领说的话至今还在我的耳畔回响:“这车子真不错,坐车需要30分钟,而骑它只要20分钟就到了!”说完他疼爱地摸了摸我,恋恋不舍地离开。

从此以后,扫我背上二维码的人越来越多,我的小伙伴们也越来越多了!人们把我骑向不同的地方,我见到了不同的小伙伴。在餐厅,充电宝小弟向我挥手;在球场,胖嘟嘟的篮球向我蹦跳……是的,这个时代俨然成为了共享时代。

“为你,千千万万遍;共享,千千万万人!我心中默默念着。

“嘀嘀嘀——咔”,我的思绪被一阵开锁声打断,我急忙加快脚步,继续穿梭于车水马龙中。

篇10:有关交流英语作文初中

全文共 1956 字

+ 加入清单

Clearly if we are to participate in the society in which we live we must

communicate with other people.

A great deal of communicating is performed on a person-to-person basis by

the simple means of speech.

If we travel in buses, buy things in shops, or eat in restaurants, we are

likely to have conversations where we give information or opinions, receive news

or comment, and very likely have our views challenged by other members of

society.

Face-to-face contact is by no means the only form of communication and

during the last two hundred years the art of mass communication has become one

of the dominating factors of contemporary society.

Firstly, inventiveness has led to advances in printing, telecommunications,

photography, radio and television.

Secondly, speed has revolutionized the transmission and reception of

communications so that local news often takes a back seat to national news,

which itself is often almost eclipsed by international news.

No longer is the possession of information confined to a privileged

minority.

In the last century the wealthy man with his own library was indeed

fortunate, but today there are public libraries.

Forty years ago people used to flock to the cinema, but now far more people

sit at home and turn on the TV to watch a program that is being channeled into

millions of homes.

Communication is no longer merely concerned with the transmission of

information.

The modern communication industry influences the way people live in society

and broadens their horizons by allowing access to information, education and

entertainment.

The printing, broadcasting and advertising industries are all involved with

informing, educating and entertaining.

Although a great deal of the material communicated by the mass media is

very valuable to the individual and to the society of which he is a part, the

vast modern network of communications is open to abuse.

However, the mass media are with us for better, for worse, and there is no

turning back.

“Oh!NO!这又是哪里,黑乎乎的,我又被密室禁锢啦!”

现在的我已千疮百孔,无人问候,我是谁?我是一辆共享单车,作为一辆只要扫我的二维码,就可骑的自行车,接下来我就为各位说说我和家族们的悲惨经历。

本来我们是住在一个大工厂里,但为了解决人们每天上下班和短距离的需求,给各个城市带来更时尚、动感的气息,我们被安放在不同的城市,我们每天早早的,整整齐齐地站在马路边上,等候人们的召唤,但这一切只是一个开始。不一会儿,我的三姐就被骑走了。

晚上,我去找她,看到她的时候我吓了一跳:“三姐,你怎么浑身是伤啊?”三姐瞬间泪崩:“那个小姐姐和小哥哥太坏啦,我以为他们对我吹口哨是因为我漂亮,原来是他们要刮我的二维码,我极力反抗,小哥哥突然很生气,瞬间就把我踢倒在地上,用脚在我身上踩来踩去,我还没缓过劲来呢,小姐姐突然从包包里拿出刮眉刀,将我的二维码刮掉,贴上新的二维码,方便骗取其他人的财产,随后就把我扔到马路边,呜呜呜……三姐哭了一夜。

接下来的一天,四弟被骑走了,可是晚上我怎么找也找不到他。突然,一阵阵惨叫声在我耳边响起,我回头一看,正是四弟。我马上过去,不好,“四弟,你的车轮怎么破了?”四弟哭着讲了他的故事:“一个小孩把我拖进了他家,然后就开始拆我的车轮,过了一会儿进来了一个大人,他皱着眉头盯着小孩,我以为有救了,没想到那人却带来了自行车的克星——螺丝刀!我的车轮很快被拆掉了。

我突然感觉到死亡离我们家族如此之近,看着家族们有的被针刺、被刀割、被砸、被淹……我想我应该不会那么倒霉,可是,我现在被一个人带进这间屋子,他要干什么呢?我好害怕,我想回家,他的脚步声越来越近,他拿着一瓶气罐出来,向我走来,他开始往我身上一通狂喷。“啊啊啊”好痛好痛啊,如今的我,我是谁?我不再是鲜亮的小蓝车,而是散发着刺鼻的味道的小黑车。我想我再也回不去了。

为什么要这样对待我们,既然我们来到了这个社会上,请尊重一下我们,我要声明的是我是“共享单车”,你们就要负担起“共享”,我希望我被共享完以后,还能看见自己的同伴,而不是被禁锢起来。所以,我带着所有被你们伤害过的兄弟姐妹们来一起向大家呼吁:希望你们能爱护我们,理解共享、善待共享,恪守规矩,安全使用,规范停放。我们会给大家带来更多的便利,我们的生活也会越来越美好!

共享单车、共享书店、共享篮球……越来越多的共享资源正与我们每个人产生密切关联,也在逐渐改变着人们的生活理念。今天,我就来给大家讨论一下关于“共享单车的话题”一

共享单车给予了我们许多的便利。当上班族打不到车时,可以骑着共享单车去上班;当有人的车坏了的时候,可以用共享单车来代替;当人们想要运动时,也可以骑共享单车在附近骑骑;当……总而言之,共享单车给予了我们太多的便利,可是一

在街上,随处可以看见乱停放的共享单车,随着共享单车的种类增多,投放数量增多,乱停放现象也随之加重了!在狭小的人行道上,挤满了那么多的共享单车,人们走路也十分不便。我经常看到人们因人行道上走不下,而走在了非机动车道上。那是多么的危险啊!

有时,我还看到一些家长把五六岁的小孩放进共享单车前的篮子里。那篮子旁明确写着载重多少千克,而小孩的体重明显已经超过了篮子所承受的重量,要是在骑行过程中,篮子不慎脱落,那后果是多么的可怕呀!

在共享单车上,我们可以清晰地看到:禁止未满12周岁儿童骑行,可许多孩子还是在马路上骑共享单车。我甚至看到有些只有七八岁的小孩在马路上骑共享单车。小孩可能无知,并不知道危险性,可孩子的家长呢?家长应该告诉孩子未满12周岁是禁止骑行共享单车的。如果发生什么事情,我认为家长是有主要责任的!

还有些人十分自私,把共享单车用自己的锁锁在栏杆上,占为己有,还有些人把共享单车上的二维码给刮掉,这样,只有自己才知道这辆车的密码。共享单车是公用的,而不是私人的!

我认为共享单车公司也应该定时派人来管理,减少一些不必要的问题!

既然共享单车给予了我们便利,我们也应该爱护共享单车,遵守规则,不然以后谁再会给我们大家便利呢?作为一名中学生,我要从我做起,爱护共享单车遵守规则,若有人不遵守,我定会提醒他,做好一名有责任心的小公民!

随着互联网科技飞速发展,共享生活已悄然走进社会的日常生活中、共享单车、共享雨伞、共享充电宝……这些带着共享二字的新经济如雨后春笋般从城市的各个角落生长起来,这无疑给每个人带来了新的体验,带来了生活的便利。

然而每一样新生事物的出现和发展,必然会经历波折和坎坷,共享单车亦如此。每当我们在高峰期一身疲备走出地铁站准备回家的最后一公里时,看到那一排排显眼的小黄车时,一定会由衷地感慨:“共享单车真是方便。”但走进一看,小黄车有的被按上了私人车锁,有的被撕掉或涂抹掉了二维码。或许想要共享便捷没那么简单,再联想到网上不断出现的共享单车乱停放甚至乱丢弃等负面新闻,我不禁陷入了沉思,共享单车怎么了?共享单车该如何做到真正有效共享呢?

共享单车共享经济的出现,是体现了社会的文明和进步,说明新科技新经济新业态新思想正在百花齐放,但在共享单车共享经济高速发展的同时,稍显缺乏规范,缺乏相关文明法规制度建设,而相关共享单车共享经济在提供便捷高效服务的同时更应注重宣传提倡文明使用,合理使用,而我们每个享受共享单车共享经济的社会细胞,更应做到我为人人,从而才有人人为我,才有单车共享、共享单车、共享美好生活。

我相信共享单车的前景是美好的,它体现了我们社会对资源的有效合理利用,实践了国家绿色环保可持续发展的理念,共享单车之共享不仅需要硬件的发展和完备,更需要大家的文明素质配合,科技一直在前进,我们的思想、行为更需要进步,我更相信,只要我们每个人都向前迈出一小步,我们的社会、国家就会前进一大步,愿文明之花永远盛开在每个人的心中,展现在每个人的行为中,愿共享单车谱写出一曲共享美好生活的新乐章。
