+ 加入清单Today was the first day of my new life. I looked at my new books and
checked everything for the new school year. I was excited as well as
worried.
Entering new school, I was curious about everything, new classrooms, new
teachers, new classmates etc. It would be a new start for each student. And what
I was worried about is that I had no friends here. I wondered if no liked to
play with me. Were the teachers strict with students?
I fell relaxed when the teacher asked me, What else could I help you,
freshman?". I found that the teachers were kind and polite, and the classmates
around me were friendly. While I was thinking about how to get on well with my
classmates, my desk mate showed me his favorite Ipad4s. He wanted to play with
me, but I didnt know how to play, so he taught me patiently, and we played
happily.
Worries have gone, and happiness is coming.

全文共 1146 字
+ 加入清单People always attach great importance on the soul, as the saying that beautiful soul overweighs everything, so in the movie, the everlasting theme is that an ugly girl wins the true love at last. Recently, a hot topic of discussing whether the girls’ outlook is important, the fact is that people reach their agreement that outlook really matters, if a person looks terrible, no one will like to make friends with him, let alone to know about him. In my opinion, beautiful soul is of great importance, but if people don’t make themselves look comfortable outside, no one wants to know his inside. We need to clear ourselves, it doesn’t mean we must make up, we should make ourselves look comfortable and confident, we should dress the tidy clothes and make our hair in order. People say outlook is not important, but it doesn’t mean we give up our outlook and let it look terrible.
人们总是赋予心灵很大的重要性,正如有句话说美丽的心灵胜过一切,因此在电影里,永恒的主题是一位长相难看的女孩最终赢得真爱。最近,关于讨论女孩的外表是否重要成为了热门话题,事实上,人们一致认为外表很重要,如果一个人看起来很糟糕,没有人会喜欢和他交朋友,更不用说去了解他。在我看来,美丽的心灵很重要,但是如果人们没有让自己的外表看起来舒服,没有人会想要了解他的内心。我们需要让自己看起来干净,这不意味着我们必须要化妆,我们应该让自己看起来舒服和自信,应该穿着整齐,发型不乱。人们说外表不重要,但是不意味着我们放弃外表,让自己看起来糟糕。

Im glad to have received your e-mail but I am sorry you are having some
trouble in making friends.
In my opinion, friendship is one of the most important things in everyones
life because without friends we will suffer loneliness. If you would like to
take my advice, youll win real friendship. First, why not communicate with your
friend when possible and tell him/her what you think about friends and
friendship and let him/her know that you want to make friends with him/her.
Secondly, you should learn to share your happiness and sorrow with your friends.
Thirdly, it would be a good idea if you like to invite him/her to join in some
activities such as swimming and ball games, which can make you learn to
appreciate your friends and cherish your friendship.
I hope you will find these opinions and ideas useful. Best wishes!

Basketball requires speed, height and skills. I run, jump, switch, and try to hit! All parts of my body are exercised in this sport. I feel that I’m like wind flying in the playground for my goal, which makes me feel so GREat!
Basketball needs quick reaction and decision. When chance comes, it may disappear in the next second. I should keep an eye watching as an eagle, decide and judge quickly as a leopard, and run for it as a wolf.
Further more, basketball is a sports more than just exercising, It needs team work. No one can play himself. A team should work together. So I learn to cooperate with others in this game. I should understand what my teammate doing and what he needs me to do for him. On the other side, I should learn to show my teammate what I need. At the same time, I need to keep an eye on the whole game, knowing how is the situation of our team and how is the other team. It involved more cooperation and strategy.
I played basketball more for about 5 years now. I make many good friends throught this sports. It is proud to win honor for my team and my school. Also I enjoy all games with my friends. Basketball will be my best friends in the future and my best memory about school life

篇20:以诚信为主题高一英语
全文共 1994 字
+ 加入清单My grandparents believed you were either honest or you werent. There was
no in between. They had a simple motto hanging on their living-room wall: "Life
is like a field of newly fallen snow; where I choose to walk every step will
show. "They didnt have to talk about it--they demonstratedthe motto by the way
they lived. They understood instinctively that integrity means having a personal
standard of morality and ethics that does not sell out to expediency and that is
not relative to the situation at hand. Integrity is an inner standard for
judging your behavior.Unfortunately, integrity is in short supply today--and
getting scarcer. But it is the real bottom line in every area of society.And it
is something we must demand of ourselves.
A good test for this value is to look at what I call the Integrity Trial,
which consists of three key principles: Stand firmly for your convictions in the
face of personal pressure.
When you know youre right, you cant back down. Always give others credit
that is rightfully theirs. Dont be afraid of those who might have a better idea
or who might even be smarter than you are. Be honest and open about who you
really are. People who lack genuine core values rely on external factors--their
looks or status---in order to feel good about themselves. Inevitably they will
do everything they can to preserve this facade,but they will do very little to
develop their inner value and personal growth.
So be yourself. Dont engage in a personal cover-up of areas that are
unpleasing in your life. When its tough, do it tough. In other words, face
reality and be adult in your responses to lifes challenges.
Self-respect and a clear conscience are powerful components of integrity
and are the basis for enriching your relationships with others.
Integrity means you do what you do because its right and not just
fashionable or politically correct. A life of principle, of not succumbing to
the seductive sirens of an easy morality,will always win the day. My
grandparents taught me that.
