全文共 2222 字
+ 加入清单"Yeah, right. It isn’t that easy." I protested.
"Yes it is, " Michael said. "Life is all about choices. When you cut away
all the junk, every situation is a choice. You choose how you react to
situations. You choose how people will affect your mood. You choose to be in a
good mood or bad mood. The bottom line is: It’s your choice how you live life. "
I reflected on what Michael said.
Soon thereafter, I left the big enterprise that I had worked in for years
to start my own business. We lost touch, but I often though about him when I
made a choice about life instead of reacting to it. Several years later, I heard
Michael was involved in a serious accident, falling off 60 feet from a
communications tower.
After l8 hours of surgery, and weeks of intensive care, Michael was
released from the hospital with rods placed in his back. I saw Michael about six
months after the accident. When I asked him how he was, he replied, "If I were
any better, I’d be twins. Wanna see my scars?" I declined to see his wounds, but
did ask him what had gone through his mind as the accident took place.
"The first thing that went through my mind was the well being of my
soon-to-born daughter," Michael replied. "Then, as I lay on the ground,
remembered I had two choices: I could choose to live or I could choose to die. I
chose to live." "Weren’t you scared? Did you lose consciousness?" I asked.
Michael continued, "... the paramedics were great. They kept telling me I was
going to be fine. But when they wheeled me into the operation room and I saw the
expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared. In
their eyes, l read ’He’s a dead man.’ I knew I needed to take action." "What did
you do?" I asked. "Well, there was a big burly nurse shouting questions at me”
said Michael. "She asked me if I was allergic to anything. ‘Yes,’ I said. The
doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply. I took a deep
breath and yelled", ‘Gravity’” Over their laughter, I told them, ’I’m choosing
to live. Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead’."
Michael lived, thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his
amazing attitude. I Learned from him that every day we have a choice to live
fully. Attitude is everything.

+ 加入清单At present, there is a hot word in our life - "low carbon". For this new
friend, I have done a detailed understanding, the original, low carbon is to
reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Low carbon environmental protection, green
travel, in todays society, bike sharing is the top priority.
In 2017, shared bicycles have sprung up on the streets of Fuzhou with
colorful colors, including blue, orange and yellow Dressed up in the beautiful
streets of Fuzhou. It serves every citizen of Fuzhou and brings convenience to
us. Everyone is contributing to the environmental protection cause of Fuzhou.
This is the responsibility and obligation of Fuzhou citizens. I see the rapid
development of bike sharing. There are yellow cars, Moby bikes, and hello bikes
This aroused my curiosity, and I also wanted to experience it. Today, I took my
mothers mobile phone and couldnt wait to find a small yellow car. I turned on my
mobile phone, scanned the QR code of the bike sharing car, and input the
password. I only heard "didi" and the lock on the bike was opened. This
operation is really convenient. So my mom and I got on the bike sharing. We
enjoy the scenery on both sides of the road, talking and laughing all the way,
but also exercise. This is really a healthy and environmentally friendly way to
travel!
However, the good time is not long, bike sharing is facing unprecedented
disaster. Some are thrown into rivers, some are short of arms and legs, some are
locked in private Where are the qualities of these people? Is this the quality
that we Chinese should have? No, this is not the quality that we Chinese should
have! This small bike sharing is like a mirror, reflecting the quality of
Chinese people. The original intention of bike sharing is good, it can bring
convenience to the public, low-carbon environmental protection, green travel! I
hope you can maintain bike sharing together!
With the progress of society, peoples quality should be constantly
improved. Bike sharing is a good invention. Lets protect it together. Low carbon
and environmental protection. Starting from me, lets maintain a better tomorrow
with both hands. Lets make our sky bluer and our air cleaner!

+ 加入清单When we were children, we often say that I want to grow up, or I want to be
an adult. As children, we cannot do many things, while after we grow up, we can.
However, we often complain that I don’t want to grow up when we become adults
actually.
Firstly, growing up means more responsibilities. We should make a living by
ourselves or we should support our parents when they can’t earn enough money to
make a living.
Econdly, after graduation, we need to work instead of accomplishing
nothing. We should have a target and work for it, so we have pressure on
jobs.
Every coin has two sides. Grow up can also broaden our horizon, offer us an
opportunity to know more about our world, love and protect the important person
in our life. Don’t be afraid of growing up, just be a better person and enjoy
our life.

thing. They try to avoid eye-contact, because it is not eased to look at each

篇14:关于水果英语作文初4
全文共 1949 字
+ 加入清单Of the fruits of the year I give my vote to the orange. In the first place
it is a perennial--if not in actual fact, at least in the greengrocer’s shop. On
the days when dessert is a name given to a handful of chocolates and a little
preserved ginger, when macédoine de fruits is the title bestowed on some raisins
and two prunes, then the orange, however sour, comes nobly to the rescue; and on
those other days of plenty when cherries and strawberries and kiwi-fruits riot
together upon the table, the orange, sweeter than ever, is still there to hold
its own. Bread and rice, beef and mutton, eggs and milk, are not more necessary
to an ordered existence than the orange.
It is well that the commonest fruit should be also the best. Of the virtues
of the orange I have not room fully to speak. It has properties of health
giving, as it cures influenza and establishes the complexion. It is clean, for
whoever handles it on its way to your table but handles its outer covering, its
top coat, which is left in the hall. It is round, and forms an excellent
substitute with the young for a tiny football. The pips can be flicked at your
enemies, and quite a small piece of peel makes a slide for an old gentleman.
But all this would count nothing had not the orange such delightful
qualities of taste. I dare not let myself go upon this subject. I am a slave to
its sweetness.
Yet with the orange we go live year in and year out. That speaks well for
the orange. The fact is that there is an honesty about the orange which appeals
to all of us. If it is going to be bad--for the best of us are bad sometimes--it
begins to be bad from the outside, not from the inside. How many a pear which
presents a blooming face to the world is rotten at the core. How many an
innocent-looking apple, is harboring a worm in the bud. But the orange has no
secret faults. Its outside is a mirror of its inside, and if you are quick you
can tell the shopman so before he slips it into the bag.

Hello!
Mom, this is my first time to write to you, very excited, many words do not
know where to start, usually I am more willful, there are a lot of thanks to
you, and do not want to say to you. Today, let me take this opportunity to tell
you a daughters gratitude.
When I was young, you began to have long hair for me. You said girls had
long hair and beautiful hair. But this is a lot of trouble for you, but for your
daughters beauty, I wash my hair once every 32 days and comb a beautiful
hairstyle. Every time I wash my hair, Im afraid Im cold or ironed. You always
adjust the water temperature so well. The children in the community envy me that
I have a good mother.
After I go to primary school, you always get up early every morning and
wake me up after a good meal, but sometimes I still pick and pick, and dont eat
well and make you sad. But you never get angry with me. Instead, you do it for
me on the second day. On the way to school, I saw other children taking the cake
and eating while walking. I wanted to tell you, "Mom, how nice you are!"
Remember last semester, when the math unit test, there was a simple
formula, because of my carelessness made a mistake, you see after very angry,
very hard to criticize me. At that time, I almost cried by your quarrel, but I
knew in my heart that your severity was for my good.
Mom, here I want to say to you, "Mom, I love you!" You are hard! "
篇16:高三英语作文传统文化100词

+ 加入清单It seems we are living in the conflict between modern and traditional
cultures every day. Hearing the blaring of horns the moment you step out of your
house, seeing the so called "pop" the moment you open your eyes, you cant help
thinking, "Will the traditional culture be gradually lost?"
Many people believe so. They may put right in front of you all the
evidences they can dig out. They may argue that people are rushing to
restaurants instead of cooking at home, listening to pop music but not
traditional, wearing in a way people couldnt imagine ten years ago. Modern
people like the air of freedom, not to be restrained by traditions. They offer
this long list, only trying to confirm that this world is full of
fashion,competition and temptation and the traditional culture is fading and
will be lost at last.
Though we are now living in a world in which undeclared aggression, war,
hypocrisy, chicanery, anarchy are part of our daily life. Though this is a
skeptical age, and our faith has weakened, our confidence in some aspects of the
traditional culture should and would never be lost.
Wouldnt you agree that our traditional culture is always credited with
modesty, politeness and respectfulness, which have always been treasured for
more than five thousand years?Even in this modern world, people still admire
those with good manners, those who are polite to others or respectful to old
people.
Wouldnt you agree that our Chinese traditional music is beautiful and
artistic and our Chinese tea culture is always an appealing treasure to people
around the world?
So there may just be some changes in our lifestyle or our attitudes towards
life, but little change occurs to some fundamental aspects of our traditional
culture that people still treasure in heart.
The traditional culture will never be lost, I believe.

Golgi once said: "books are the ladder of human progress". Reading, not

wonderful stories. I am a "bookworm", long holidays of course this book friends!

篇20:关于元宵节英语
全文共 6620 字
+ 加入清单There are many different beliefs about the origin of the Lantern Festival.
But one thing for sure is that it had something to do with celebrating and
cultivating positive relationship between people, families, nature and the
higher beings they believed were responsible for bringing/returning the light
each year.
One legend tells us that it was a time to worship Taiyi, the God of Heaven
in ancient times. The belief was that the God of Heaven controlled the destiny
of the human world. He had sixteen dragons at his beck and call and he decided
when to inflict drought, storms, famine or pestilence upon human beings.
Beginning with Qinshihuang, the first emperor to unite the country, all the
emperors ordered splendid ceremonies each year. The emperor would ask Taiyi to
bring favorable weather and good health to him and his people. Emperor Wudi of
the Han Dynasty directed special attention to this event. In 104 BC, he
proclaimed it as one of the most important celebrations and the ceremony would
last throughout the night. They clean it all up in the morning.
Another legend associates the Lantern Festival with Taoism. Tianguan is the
Taoist god responsible for good fortune. His birthday falls on the 15th day of
the first lunar month. It is said that Tianguan likes all types of
entertainment, so followers prepare various kinds of activities during which
they pray for good fortune.
Yet another common legend dealing with the origins of the Lantern Festival
speaks of a beautiful bird that flew down to earth from heaven, which was hunted
and killed by some villagers. This angered the Jade Emperor in Heaven because
the bird was his favorite one. Therefore, he planned a storm of fire to destroy
the village on the 15th lunar day. The Jade Emperors daughter heard of this
plan, and warned the villagers of her father’s plan to destroy their village.
The village was in turmoil because nobody knew how should they escape their
imminent destruction.
However, a wise man from another village suggested that every family should
hang red lanterns around their houses, set up bonfires on the streets, and
explode firecrackers on the 14th, 15th, and 16th lunar days. This would give the
village the appearance of being on fire to the Jade Emperor. On the 15th lunar
day, troops sent down from heaven whose mission was to destroy the village saw
that the village was already ablaze, and returned to heaven to report to the
Jade Emperor. Satisfied, the Jade Emperor decided not to burn down the village.
From that day on, people celebrate the anniversary on the 15th lunar day every
year by carrying red lanterns on the streets and exploding firecrackers and
fireworks.
There are many stories on how this festival was created. One other story is
about a maid. In the Han Dynasty, Mr. Eastern was a favorite advisor of the
emperor. One winter day, he went to the garden and heard a little girl crying
and getting ready to jump into a well to commit suicide. Mr. Eastern stopped her
and asked why. She said she was a maid in the emperors palace and her name was
Yuan-Xiao.
She never had the chance to meet her family after she started worked at the
palace. She missed them so much every 12th lunar month. If she couldnt have the
chance to show her filial piety in this life, she would rather die. Mr. Eastern
promised her to find a way so she could reunion with her family. Mr. Eastern
left the palace and set up a fortune-telling stall on the street and disguised
himself as a fortuneteller. Because of his reputation, many people asked for
their fortunes.
But every one got the same prediction - a severe fire accident on the 15th
lunar day. The rumor spread quickly. Everyone was worried about the future and
asked Mr. Eastern for help. Mr. Eastern said, "On the 13th lunar day, the God of
Fire will send a fairy lady in red to burn down the city. If you see a lady in
red wearing green pants riding a black horse on that day, you should ask for her
mercy." On that day, Yuan-Xiao pretended to be the red fairy lady. When people
asked for her help, she said, "Im the messenger of the God of Fire and came to
check on the city and Im going to set up fire on 15th. This is an order from
Jade Emperor. He will watch from the heavens.
I will give you a copy of the imperial decree from the God of Fire. You
should go to ask your emperor to find a way out." After she left, people went to
the palace to show the emperor the decree which reads "The capital city is in
trouble. Fire burns on the palace, and fire from Heaven burns all night long on
the 15th." The emperor of Han Dynasty was very shocked. He called and asked Mr.
Eastern for advice. After pondering for a while, Mr. Eastern said, "I heard that
the God of Fire likes to eat Tang-Yuan (Sweet dumpling). Does Yuan-Xiao often
cook Tang-Yuan for you? On the 15th lunar day, let Yuan-Xiao make Tang-Yuan.
Your Majesty will take charge of the worshipping ceremony and you will give
an order to every house to prepare Tang-Yuan to worship the God of Fire at the
same time. Also, deliver another order to ask every house in the city to hang
red lantern and explode fire crackers. Lastly, everyone in the palace and people
outside the city should carry their lanterns on the street to watch the lantern
decoration and fireworks. If everything goes this way, the Jade Emperor would be
deceived.
Then everyone can avoid the fire accident." The emperor happily followed
the plan. Lanterns were everywhere in the capital city on the night of the 15th
lunar day. People were walking on the street. Fire crackers kept making lots of
noise. It looked like the entire city was on fire. Yuan-Xiaos parents went into
the palace to watch the lantern decorations, and Yuan-Xiao made a big lantern
and wrote her name on the lantern. They happily reunited together after her
parents called her name. Everybody was safe during the night. The emperor of Han
Dynasty had a new order that people should do the same thing every year. Since
Yuan-Xiao cooked the best Tan-Yuan, people called the day Yuan-Xiao
Festival.
Young people were chaperoned in the streets in hopes of finding love.
Matchmakers acted busily in hopes of pairing couples. The brightest lanterns
were symbolic of good luck and hope. As time has passed, the festival no longer
has such implications.
Those who do not carry lanterns often enjoy watching informal lantern
parades. In addition to eating tangyuan (simplified Chinese: 汤圆; traditional
Chinese: 湯圓; pinyin: tāngyuán), another popular activity at this festival is
guessing lantern riddles (which became part of the festival during the Tang
Dynasty), which often contain messages of good fortune, family reunion, abundant
harvest, prosperity and love.
