伦敦之旅作文英文优秀20篇

As an engineering student majoring in environmental systems, I have strong awareness of the environment and want to work in the field of environmental protection. There are three feasible ways, in my opinion, which can raise public awareness of our surrounding environment. Firstly, the appropriate education in schools can be applied to build our concept on the importance of environment and it should be taken good care. Secondly, more and more green or environmental promotions should be carried out. For example, use public transportation more frequently instead of private vehicles; print double-sided instead of one-sided to save papers. Furthermore, researches on clean energy and sustainable development should be enhanced. The natural resources on earth is not infinite and we should seek for a better method to protect our circumstance in the long run.

Water is used in homes, in farming, and in manufacturing. The water used by the people comes from oceans, lakes, rivers, and streams. Many water sources are becoming polluted.

People are throwing things into the water. Factories are dumping waste materials into the water. Cities are dumping sewage into the water. Some water sources have become so badly polluted that the water cannot be made fit to use.

Would you like to drink water that came from a source that had been so badly mistreatedNow is the time that we should take up our responsibility to protect our environment from being polluted.

[有关激励自己的英文名言警句

Last summer vacationmy family and I went to Qingdao by train.There was always sunshine and fresh airwhich made us so comfortable.We went to the seasidethe sea was as blue as the skyand bathing in the sunshine on the beach was really an enjoyable thing.I also picked up a lot of colorful shells with my little sister.There we bought many interesting souvenirsI was planing to send them to my friends.We ate many tings theresuch as fishprawnand so on.They are very delicious.Then we lived in a clean and tidy hoteland the price was not so expensive.I like Qingdao very muchand if I got a chanceI hope to come here againit is such a beautiful and interesting place.

then, the representative of the bedroom zhu guozhang asked us to guess a line of a poem related to the above situation. he added that li xinmin alone was born in the year of the dog and the other three were all born in the year of the chicken.

they left us all in confusion. and it was our monitor who was quickwitted. he shouted our, "the day breaks as the cock crows three times at dawn." the hall after that, they had another item.

this time li xinmin was placed in the middle of the circle.

while he was standing there, the other three stood around him, each bowing down to him at an angle of 120 degrees. it was an idiom. this time i got it right:"the dog stands out among a group of chickens."

Dear Sir,

I saw your advertisement for "the perfect lighter" in Sunday Times last

week and immediately sent off a ￡2 postal order and the completed form for the

lighter.

Imagine my surprise when all I got in return was a box of matches! I could

understand a mistake. I might even pardon a joke. But in this case, your

advertisement is a deliberate lie since a friend of mine who also sent the

coupon got the same result.

I think its a shame to promise an economical lighter when in fact you are

not selling a lighter a1 all. Instead of saying it works quickly, you should

admit that you are offering matches. And what about "only" ￡2: I usually pay 10

pennies for a box of matches, and they are often given away free.

I regard your advertisement as a serious deception and demand that you send

me my money back immediately. Otherwise I will take active steps to make sure

the Consumers Association hear about it.

Yours faithfully,

Peter Li

Dear Alice，

As a teenager，I met the same problem as you. But now I can get along better with my mother. Here are some ideas for you。

Your mother talks much，because she cares about you. Maybe its not a good way，but it shows your mothers love. So I think you should listen to her. If your opinions are different from your mothers，you can communicate with her，and tell her what you are thinking about。

If your mother doesnt take your advice，just keep silent and give her a smile。

I hope what I say here can help you a lot。

Dear Mother,

Hello!

I now apologize to you, last Thursday, I test deduction of nearly 30

points, I think: oh, home will be hit by my mother! If you put it in the bag and

dont take it out, you will be sure to turn it out! Well, play it by ear! Back

home, When I eat bananas, my mother from my schoolbag out of the test roll, a

look, suddenly changed face. I saw that the situation was not good, so I fled to

my room, my mother pursued, also entered my room. Mother shouted: "Come here!!"

I had to obediently past, say that time, the dragon 18 first five has been

pulled out of my ass, suddenly a burst of pain through my whole body. When the

second palm came, My instinct with the hand to block, block, but my mother went

to take a coat hanger, I think: over, mother to hair biao!" Mother like the

arrow from the string rushed over, and then a burst of violence, while playing

cursing: "Play! Play! Play! You play in a day! ..." When my mother played, my

mother also cried, and then, my mother ignored me for a whole day.

Mom, Sorry, I will study hard in the future, no longer put all my mind to

play, no longer let you worry about. I look at the "mom and dad is not my

servant" and "never read for teachers and parents after understand your good

intention, I know, playing on my body, pain in your heart, the main character of

the two books, after come back to poor rural changed a lot, is treated as a

prince before, record is 25th, now he was a modest, sensible child, learning in

the top 11. I want to learn from him. Mom, I wont let you down! Surely not!

My house is in a beautiful neighborhood. There are flowers and grass in the community. There are three people in my family. My family is very harmonious!

My father always likes to make fun of me. One night, my father said to me: “ go, go and play with the puppy! ” dad has always been against me and played with a dog, but why should I play with a dog? I wonder with the puppy playing for a while. Then come back and dont play with the dog. Dad says, "&ldquo, go and write an article. Just write what a puppy looks like.". I said: ” “ ”? Dad laughed and said: “ no! Just kidding! I said: ” “ hate hate &rdquo!;

I love my family because my father has a sense of humor!

Many of my classmates complain about their fathers, because they are busy all the time and barely have time to company them.

But my father is different, though he is busy, he still spare some time to play with me and help me with my homework.

I am so lucky to have such a father, he is the best father in the world.

Our family enjoyed a wonderful New Years evening family dinner because it is seldom to get so many relatives to get together.My uncle,aunt and cousin,my best friend,came and had dinner with us.It took almost whole afternoon to prepare the dishes.Of course,that is a chance to show my mom and my aunts cooking skill.We also try to do something to help them,but,what we got was "going to play".It is happy for me to hear that rather than "go to do your homework".The evening dinner is so good,everyone enjoyed and aet overload to their stomach.So wonderful dinner,so wonderful new year.

Nowadays,more and more families choose to have the dinner on New Year’s Eve in restaurants.Though this choice doesn’t follow our tradition,I think it’s good and should be encouraged.

First,it’s obviously more convenient to do so.The process of preparing a home-made New Year’s Eve dinner is not only hard but also annoying.People have to buy food several days before the festival and spend a long time cooking all sorts of dishes.Now,just pick up the telephone and reserve a table.Everything will be well arranged by the restaurant.

Second,it still create a warm atmosphere by getting the family united,which is the true purpose of the dinner.In the restaurant,you celebrate the New Year and share your happiness with other families and usually can enjoy special performances or activities,organized by the owner of the restaurant.

To make a conclusion,having the dinner on New Year’s Eve outside shows a change in people’s thoughts on traditions and seems to be a wise,nice and exciting idea.

There is a trend that more and more families have their dinner on New Year’s Eve in the restaurant.Although it is more convenient,it doesn’t seem to be a pleasure thing for me.

Firstly,the restaurants are too crowded.Owing to this,we cannot talk freely.In addition,the sense of harmony cannot be felt by the family members.

Secondly,it may cost us a big sum of money which we can save by having the dinner in our own families.The whole family’s preparation for the dinner is also a process of enjoying according to my view.

In a word,it is not a good idea to have New Year’s Eve dinner in the restaurant.Home dinner makes a happy New Year.

I have a lot of friends, but my best friends are Alex and Liu Jingyan! They can help me when I am in trouble, and when I am sad, they can comfort me, and when I am happy, I will share happiness with them. And you?

Im sure youll be the same as me. Theyre two introverted little girls, just like me, because of that, Ive made good friends with the two of them. Not only for reasons, but also for other reasons, they will always be my best friends!

Dear Bill,

Im glad to receive your letter,thank you for your caring for the weather and my health.Now Id like to tell you something about the smog.

Since the winter last year,the smog has occurred a lot of times.it has done great harm to our daily life.many traffic accidents happened just because of the heavy smog weather,more and more people have to go to see the doctor because the serious disease caused by the smog,quite a lot of flights have to be put off,a great number of people have to stay at home for fear of the poisonous air caused by the smog.

People have realized the great harm caused by the smog and the importance of protecting the environment.people all over the country are taking measures to reduce the smog weather.the government suggests people go to work or school with the public traffic, such as the bus and the underground.Also we should plant more trees.

According to me, I will go to school by bike or on foot, and I wont throw the waste anywhere.in addition, I will tell the people I meet to protect the environment as possible as they can.would you like to tell me some good ideas?Im looking forward to your reply.

Yours Sincerely

During the 15 days from New Years Eve to Lantern Festival, Beijing was affected by smog for more than half the time, because of which people suffered a lot. On the road people drove slowly because they could not see clearly. People also suffered from many illnesses caused by smog.

The smog in Beijing has been caused by many factors, in which the increase of cars in the city area plays an important role. The carssend off a lot of poisonous gases, which in turn adds to the already seriousair pollution.

In my opinion, the number of cars should be limited.We should call on the people to use more public transport. Only in this way canwe expect to have more sunny days.

Gao Kao is a Chinese version of college entrance examination. Once it was probably the most important event in Chinese students life, and it is still to some students. It is optional whether to attend this exams or not, so the choice lies in each student. Now more and more students start to take this choice seriously, and disreputes arose. As for me, attending Gao Kao is a better choice.

Firstly, college education is a necessity for each student, and one can only get enrolled in a college in China with a score of Gao Kao. Secondly, preparing Gao Kao is a very valuable experience to help us grow, exactly for the reason that it is not a little trying and harsh. Lastly, unless better opportunity arise, applying for native colleges is the best choice for us to embrace a propectful future, which makes attending Gao Kao a necessity for each of us who choose to receive education home in China.

All in all, it depends whether attending Gao Kao is the best choice, but for me and other who havent plan to receive overseas education, there is no doubt that it is a necessity and an opportunity to make our way in the society.

Dear Tom,

I’m so hapy to learn that you want to learn Chinese in Zunyi Teachers’ College here.There is no doubt that to learn Chinese well is by no means an easy thing, but I have some ideas that may help.

Firstly, it is important to listen to the teacher carefully in class and take notes so that you can go over your lessons later.Secondly, try to practise speaking Chinese as much as possible out of class and write down whatever you hear to accunulate more commonly-used words and idioms.Don’t be afraid of making mistakes.And try to communicate with local people to develop your listening ability.Last but not least, you should organize your time and do lots of exercise.

I think the most important thing is that you should believe in yourself.I’m sure that you will suceed after your hard work.

Yours,

Wang Hua

Samantha, like many renters, is tired of renting. One reason is that her annual rent goes up like clockwork. Every year her landlord raises the rent five percent. Another reason is her neighbors. “New neighbors always seem to be more inconsiderate than the ones who moved out,” she said. “My first neighbor was a door-slammer; I always knew when he came home or left home. After he moved out, a saxophonist moved in. A saxophonist! He practiced two hours a day. On Saturday his friends would come over and I’d get to listen to a whole band. I called the police, but they said saxophone playing is permitted in apartments for up to four hours a day, because saxophone playing is job-related. They told me I was lucky that the guy was only playing two hours a day!”

There are many unhappy renters, but there are also happy renters. “I’ve been lucky my whole life,” said Howard, a middle-aged man. “My neighbors couldn’t have been any better if I had picked them myself. One neighbor was a chef. He’d bring me the best leftovers in the world. Another neighbor was a pianist. She played the most delightful music. Another neighbor was a mechanic who did my tune-ups and changed the oil in my car. My latest neighbor is a birder; we go birding every weekend with our binoculars.”

Different persons have different attitudes. Samantha saw the saxophone player as irritating, yet Howard saw the piano player as delightful. Millions of people would be happy just to have a roof over their head. Yet there are millions who would complain that their roof is the wrong color.
