+ 加入清单The imperial palace, also known as the Forbidden City, is the imperial
palace of the Ming and qing dynasties, which is the largest and most complete
ancient architectural complex in China. I especially want to know the
architecture of ancient palaces and the living environment of ancient
emperors.
One weekend in the golden autumn, the sun is shining and the autumn wind is
crisp. My mother and I went to visit the Palace Museum in the center of the
city. I was very happy.
Enter the gate of the Forbidden City, "wow! Its so big here!" I couldnt
help it. The mother said, "the most spectacular is still in the back!" We first
visited the architectural model of the imperial palace and its construction. I
know that the imperial palace covers an area of over 720,000 square meters, with
more than 9,000 rooms, all wooden structures, and all the wooden structures have
no nails. The palace is the blue and white stone base, the tall roof, the yellow
glazed tile, the pattern of the dragon everywhere, and decorated with the
brilliant color of the golden wall. I observed all the palaces, and found that
the palaces were lined up along the north-south axis, and spread out to the
sides, to the north and south, and to the right and left. I told mom, I found
mother listen to nod a smile, said: "the central axis not only in the Forbidden
City, and nanda YongDingMen, north to the drum tower, almost throughout the
whole city. Its magnificent, well-planned and spectacular.
We have been visiting the taihe temple from the imperial garden. What a
breathtaking view! In the Forbidden City, the most striking is the "three halls"
: the hall of supreme harmony, the hall of harmony, the hall of protection and
the temple. They are all built on the 8-meter-high base of the white jade, which
looks like the qiong yuyu in the myth. The first hall of supreme harmony was the
most magnificent building. People called it the "throne room". It was the place
where the emperor held the grand ceremony. It is 28 meters high, 63 meters, 35
meters north and south, and a large pillar with a diameter of 1 meter. Among
them, six large pillars, one meter in diameter around the throne, are flat
dragon pillars of leached gold. The throne is located at the base of the two
meters high in the temple, with the graceful crane and the top of the furnace,
followed by a carefully carved screen. The whole hall is decorated with golden
walls, which are both majestic and magnificent. The hall of neutralization was
the place where the emperor went to the hall of supreme harmony to take a rest
and exercise etiquette. Baohe and the temple are the place where the emperor
gives banquet to the king of the foreign land every New Year. This is just the
palace buildings, and house decoration is numerous, the rarities of the mother
said: "these treasures is only part of it, when Chiang kai-shek fled to Taiwan
carried away many treasure palace, there are some loss in a foreign country". I
feel sorry for the loss of these treasures. When will these lost treasures
return to the embrace of the motherland? I am looking forward to the reunion of
Taiwan and mainland as soon as possible.
The visit of the Forbidden City made me linger. The Palace Museum is an
unparalleled masterpiece. It is a miracle. Our five thousand years of Chinese
culture are profound and profound, and we should be proud and proud to have
built such a magnificent palace for the ancients. At the same time, we also have
the responsibility to protect these cultural relics from destruction, so that
the five thousand years of splendid civilization of the motherland will be
handed down.

+ 加入清单The news that Mr Cai had passed away was known, and I fell into great
sorrow. The sound of the rain knocking on the window was so mournful that it
deepened my distress.
My memory brought me back to the class when I saw him for the last
time.
That evening it was raining, too. We started our lesson as usual at a
quarter past six. I sat in the first row, and I saw Mr Cai press his stomach
with a hand from time to time, but I didn’t know the reason then. The two hours
passed quickly. When the lesson came to an end,Mr Cai told us that he had
possibly developed a stomach cancer, and would go to Beijing to see a doctor. If
there was nothing serious, he would continue to teach us after he came back. He
was very calm and his voice was steady. He still gave us some homework. He said
that he would mark the papers as soon as he came back.
Then I started to wait for his return. I had not thought that I would not
see him any more. The cancer had taken his life, even though he was still
young.
Mr Cai’s words are still ringing in my ears,“I hope you will be one of the
best students.” I think I should work hard at English and live up to his
expectation .
I have lost a good teacher. Tears will dry up in time, but the memory will
stay for ever.

+ 加入清单Since its rise, the Internet has been playing a more and more important
role in our daily life. It brings tremendous convenience and efficiency to our
lives. Online shopping is also a new rising thing brought by the Internet. Since
its increasing developing speed, some people think that online shopping will
replace traditional shopping. However, as far as I am concerned, it wont happen
in a short time.
Although online shopping is really very convenient, there are still some
strong points of traditional shopping which cannot be replaced by online
shopping. Firstly, online shopping lacks the intuitional impression of goods.
Sometimes the photos offered by the sellers are beautified with softwares, and
you will be disappointed to find the actual item is far from your expectation.
Secondly, returning goods in online shopping is quite troublesome, and sometimes
you only can achieve your goal at the cost of the payment of the postage by
yourself. Finally, there are too many fake products and cheats in online
shopping, and the quality of goods cannot be guaranteed as those in traditional
shops.
According to the points above, online shopping still needs some
improvements to totally replace the functions of traditional shopping. However,
the potential of online business is so huge that it will certainly take a great
share in the trade market.

篇12:小学一年级英语作文600字
全文共 853 字
+ 加入清单英语念起来干枯无聊,我偶尔往前面望去,有一排同学没事可做,竟然搞起敢死队的工作——在英语老师的眼皮子底下看漫画书,晕。更为巧合的是――竟然都是坐在一排的人!怀疑是不是串通好了的呢。
敢死队员1号:小心翼翼型
这位队员一边看着书,一边虎视耽耽地望着老师。瞧,他刚翻一页,就抬头看看老师,接着又翻一页,然后有抬头望望老师,这样重复循环,真不知道他把内容看进去没有。看见老师的目光没有扫向他,他赶紧抓住机会连翻几页,然后突然抬头,盯着老师。
敢死队员2号:动作怪怪型
这位队员可有点怪了,看着书,一会儿掏掏鼻子,一会儿打打哈欠,一会儿摸摸耳朵,一副惟恐天下不乱的样子,好像不让老师发现他的举动就不甘心似的,真是个怪人。
敢死队员3、4号:谈天说地型
这两位同学有些不把老师放在眼里了,边看书边聊天。我隐隐约约听见他们说冒险岛OL,说漫画内容,说小说,说娱乐咨询,就连老师和同学的目光扫向他们,也无济于事。
敢死队员5号:边学边看型
这位同学好像有些明白学习的重要性,看了几分钟的书,马上立起来听老师的讲课。课上一半时,老师为了扫查班上的敢死队,把同学们一个叫起一个问问题。这下可让这群敢死队员们开始惶恐不安了,他们连书都顾不着看呢。而这位队员呢,看一会儿就学学,这一招算是对他的MISS了。
敢死队员6号:理直气壮型
这位同学可是班上的霸王级分子了(注:别乱想,不是我啊),他可是一人之下,几十人之上,谁敢对他不敬,他的落雷马上就落在你头上了,(注:我已经欠了他3顿打了,要不是我能帮他弄电脑作业,我早就魂飞天了)因此每人敢告发他。不知是她的好运还是老师放水,他这样看了一堂课,竟然都没半点被批评,真太不公平了!!
谁知道,老师从天而降,为了抓住敢死分子,居然来个背后突袭,到所有座位后边地毯式搜索。5名敢死队员唰地一声,在同一时间内放下书,装起乖乖。只有敢死队员6号稳如泰山,而老师的目光明明瞄准了他,可老师却好像在放水一样,竟纵容他在自己眼皮子底下活动,真气死人了!而其他5位的敢死队员便无机可乘,只好乖乖停课,唯独6号占了便宜。

篇17:关于生活英语作文高3
全文共 1338 字
+ 加入清单Depending on personal experience, personality type and emotional concern,
we find that some people hold the idea of living in the country, while others
prefer living in the city. In my opinion, I prefer the city life, though it has
advantages and disadvantages.
First of all, city life is very colorful. City is the center of the
surrounding area. So, it is also the most booming place having the best things.
There are many great things and wonderful activities in the city, while there
isn’t in the country. For example, there are KFC, wonderful shopping mall,
delicious food from various places, dancing club, different kinds of activities
and so on. We can also learn the culture from all the countries. Despite city
life is so wonderful, it still has many disadvantages. Nowadays, with the
improvement of people’s living standard, people have more cars and more people
come to city, and then the city becomes more and more crowd. As a result,
traffic jam emerges, which makes great inconvenience for people to go out.
What’s worse, the air pollution becomes serious day by day, which is bad for
people’s health.
To sum up, every coin has two sides. Living in the city also has good side
and bad aspect. Whether like living in city or not depends on individual
thinking. As myself, I like living in city though I know the disadvantage of
living in city.

篇19:关于失败英语作文初中
全文共 1158 字
+ 加入清单When the national entrance examination is over, people always pay more
attention to those who are enrolled by colleges and universities. Those who
failed the examination are treated coldly. Being enrolled by colleges and
universities is, of course, worth congratulating. But giving the successful
candidates excessive praise and neglecting those who failed the examination
might send the wrong message: young people do not have a bright future unless
they go to college or university.
Teachers, parents and society, therefore, should give more attention to
students failing the examination. They are in more urgent need of understanding,
warmth and encouragement. We should tell them that to go to college is not the
only way to success, and that, if they make enough effort, they can still
develop talents in other occupations that will serve society.
Personally, the country’s economic development requires not only
specialized scientists and technical experts, but also knowledge-based workers
and skilled laborers. After some vocational training, these senior high school
students can also become backbones in their own fields and contribute their
wisdom to our society.

Halloween is an autumn holiday that Americans celebrate every year. It means "holy evening," and it comes every October 31, the evening before All Saints Day. However, it is not really a church holiday, it is a holiday for children mainly.
Every autumn, when the vegetables are ready to eat, children pick large orange pumpkins. Then they cut faces in the pumpkins and put a burning candle inside. It looks as if there were a person looking out of the pumpkin! These lights are called jack-o-lanterns, which means "Jack of the lantern".
The children also put on strange masks and frightening costumes every Halloween. Some children paint their faces to look like monsters. Then they carry boxes or bags from house to house. Every time they come to a new house, they say,"Trick or treat! Money or eat!" The grown-ups put treat-money or candy in their bags.
Not only children, but most grown-ups also love Halloween and Halloween parties because on this day,they can disguise themselves as personages or ghost as their imaginations will lead them. This bring them the satisfaction of being young.
万圣节前夕
万圣节前夕是美国人年年都会庆祝的秋季节日。它的意思是“神圣的夜晚”,在每年的10月31日,也就是万圣节前夜。但实际上这不是一个真正的宗教节日,而主要是孩子们的节日。
每年秋天蔬菜成熟可以食用的时候,孩子们就会挑出大个儿的橙色南瓜。然后在南瓜上刻上一张脸,把一根点燃的蜡烛放在里面。看起来就好像有人在向南瓜外面张望。这些灯就叫做“iack-o-lantems”,意思也就是“杰克的灯”。
每年万圣节前夕孩子们还戴上奇怪的面具,穿上吓人的服装。有些孩子把脸刷成怪物。然后他们拿着盒子或袋子挨家挨户串门。每来到一个新房子他们就说:“不款待就捣乱!给钱还是吃的!”大人们就会把用来招待的钱或糖放在他们的袋子里了。
不仅孩子,许多成年人也喜欢万圣节前夕和万圣节前夕晚会。因为这一天他们可以根据自己的想象把自己装扮成名流或幽灵。这会带给他们年轻的快感。
