伦敦之旅作文英文【精品20篇】

It is truth that gender discrimination still exists when female comes to find work, some females never mention her gender on the resume, just to make sure that the employers will give them the chances to get the interview. Females should improve their competiveness, so that they will have more work chances.

事实上，当女性去找工作的时候，性别歧视仍然存在，一些女性从来不在简历上提到自己的性别，仅仅是为了确保雇主能给她们机会面试。女性应该提高她们的竞争力，这样她们就会有的工作机会。

First, the female should show their positive attitudes toward the life and work. Female students should see their advantages clearly before hunting for a job, and highlight it in their resumes. For instance, they might emphasize that they are careful and considerate in work, patient and cooperate with colleagues as well. But the positive toward life and work brings them to a high level, which will impress the employer.

第一，女性应该展示她们乐观的生活和工作态度。女学生应该在找工作前清楚地了解她们的优势，并在简历上面强调。比如，她们可以强调她们在工作上认真和细心，对同事有耐心和乐于合作。但是乐观的生活和工作态度能让她们更上一个台阶，也能给雇主留下深刻的印象。

Second, female students must be confident. Lots of big companies like to hold a group discussion to select people, those who are silent and find it difficult to get involved in the discussion will not be considered. The employers think such people are not confident and won’t do well in the work.

第二，女学生必须自信。很多大型公司喜欢举行小组讨论来选人，那些保持沉默和难以融入讨论的人是不被考虑在内的。雇佣者认为这样的人不自信，无法胜任工作。

It is necessary for women to improve competiveness, if they want to go further than males. The positive attitude and being confident will let female win more chances.

对于女性来讲，提高竞争力是很重要的，如果他们想要比男性走得更远些。乐观的态度和表现自信会让女性赢得的机会。

New Year starts with the New Moon on the first day of the new year and ends on the full moon 15 days later. The 15th day of the new year is called the Lantern Festival, which is celebrated at night with lantern displays and children carrying lanterns in a parade.

The Chinese calendar is based on a combination of lunar and solar movements. The lunar cycle is about 29.5 days. In order to "catch up" with the solar calendar the Chinese an extra month once every few years. This is the same as adding an extra day on leap year. This is why, according to the solar calendar, the Chinese New Year falls on a different date each year.

New Years Eve and New Years Day are celebrated as a family affair, a time of reunion and thanksgiving. The celebration was traditionally highlighted with a religious ceremony given in honor of Heaven and Earth, the gods of the household and the family ancestors.

The sacrifice to the ancestors, the most vital of all the rituals, united the living members with those who had passed away. Departed relatives are remembered with great respect because they were responsible for laying the foundations for the fortune and glory of the family.

The presence of the ancestors is acknowledged on New Years Eve with a dinner arranged for them at the family banquet table. The spirits of the ancestors, together with the living, celebrate the onset of the New Year as one great community. The communal feast called "surrounding the stove". It symbolizes family unity and honors the past and present generations

Every student has his goal of study.Some have a great one but some small.To some degree,a goal determines your success in the future.People who have a great goal can probably acquire a big success in his future,while the people who have a small goal may gain a small one.Meanwhile,the time we set our goals is another important factor.The earlier we have our goals,the more easily we can reach them.Therefore,its of great importance to set a great goal when we are very young.Hower,having a goal doesnt mean we can succeed in no time.We still have a long way to go.The next step we should take is to put our goals into action.Maybe we meet with many difficulties,we mustnt stop or give up.We should keep on going,struggling against all kinds of trouble or problems until our goals are hit!

Good morning. I am glad to be here for this interview. First let me introduce myself. My name is xx 24. I come from Nanchang,the capital of Jiangxi Province. I graduated from the ****** department of *****University in July ,2001.In the past two years I have been prepareing for the postgraduate examination while I have been teaching *****in NO.****middle School and I was a head-teacher of a class in junior grade two.Now all my hard work has got a result since I have a chance to be interview by you.

I am open-minded ,quick in thought and very fond of history.In my spare time,I have broad interests like many other youngers.I like reading books, especially those about ****.Frequently I exchange with other people by making comments in the forum on line.In addition ,during my college years,I was once a Net-bar technician.So, I have a comparative good command of network application.I am able to operate the computer well.I am skillful in searching for information in Internet.I am a football fan for years.Italian team is my favorite.Anyway,I feel great pity for our countrys team.

I always believe that one will easily lag behind unless he keeps on learning .Of course, if I am given a chance to study ****** in this famous University,I will spare no effort to master a good command of advance ******.

Write down the topic, I think is common and popular. But the thought of the teacher at ordinary times dribs and drabs love to me, and I was deeply moved by the selfless love. In our long life road, the teacher is like a crutch, the teacher will help us when we are in trouble; When we meet with setbacks, but also the teacher to comfort and encourage us.

To remember a summer afternoon, the teacher to teach us, we the class are listless, the teacher didnt criticize us, but lets make the game, it is active classroom atmosphere. Teacher sitting next to correcting our homework, and watch us play with a smile. At the end of the game, the teacher kindly ask us: "you know why I let you play a game?" Shocked all of us, shook his head and replied, "dont understand." Teacher said meaningfully: "children, I want you to learn in joy, in the game. You are now also small, if the heavy learning tasks, will hate learning, feel happy learning!"

Remember another time, a few students in the class elaborate completed the teacher assigned homework, the teacher called them to the office, no harsh language of them, but kindly tell them the importance of work, let them learn a clear purpose, later dont do that again, under the guidance of the teacher a few classmates bowed his head ashamed.

Teacher, you are the candle light heart lamps for us; Teacher, you are the engineers of the human soul, and give us the meticulous help and concern, gives us light and heat. Here I sincerely to you say: "thank you, our good teacher!"

写下这个题目，我觉得既平常又通俗。然而一想起老师平时对我点点滴滴的关爱，我又被这种无私的关爱感动着。在我们漫长的人生道路上，老师就像是一根拐杖，当我们遇到困难时老师会帮助我们;当我们遇到挫折时，又是老师来安慰、鼓励我们。

记得一个夏天的午后，老师来给我们上课，我们全班同学都无精打采，老师没批评我们，而是让我们做游戏，课堂氛围一下就活跃起来。老师坐在旁边一边批改作业，一边微笑着看我们玩。游戏结束时，老师亲切的问我们：“你们知道为什么让你们玩游戏吗?”我们都愣住了，都摇着脑袋回答：“不明白。”老师意味深长地说：“孩子们，我要让你们在快乐中学习，游戏中成长。你们现在还小，如果学习任务过重，就会讨厌学习，体会不到学习的快乐啊!”

记得还有一次，班上几个同学敷衍完成了老师布置的家庭作业，老师把他们叫到办公室，没有用严厉的语言斥责他们，而是亲切的告诉他们完成作业的重要性，让他们明确学习目的，以后再别这么做了，在老师的引导下几个同学惭愧的低下了头。

老师，您是蜡烛为我们点亮心灯;老师，您是人类灵魂的工程师，给了我们无微不至的的帮助和关心，给了我们光和热。在此我真诚的对您说一声：“谢谢您，我们的好老师!”

Sometimes, people say, "this kid is as smart as a monkey", but people may not notice that cats are smarter than monkeys, especially when they are catching food.

The other is to rely on domestic animal owners to send food, and a big cat is my grandma feeds and they are not the same, it is not good to eat, not to eat food to capture. Is the best cat stole the fish, when it is in the night, with its feet to soundless and stirless action, it unnoticed to others, that night the glowing eyes and the nose to find the target, with the sudden speed, catch, immediately cautiously without any noise. Run away, then, find a quiet place to enjoy.

Sometimes the cat is really very boring, it will eat the wheat to attack the sparrow, saw the cat still like that stole the fish to go cautiously without any noise and small sparrow sparrow side, not the danger around it, then, all of a sudden forward toward a cat, a small sparrow is caught, in short, cat every time is 100% in the catch".

Ha ha, when capturing food, the cat is a "mysterious little Superman."".

Mom:

I have not written to you for at least twelve years. I did not expect to

write to you about such a thing in the third year after your son went to

work.

Have you any idea how I felt after I answered the phone from dad this

evening? I didnt expect that you should be angry with your son for such a thing

and make the whole family uneasy.

I called you last Saturday, you said your cell phone will be out of

service, I said mom, I will give you a few days to pay the phone fee. Although

you said no, I still insist that I will pay for you in a few days. Actually,

this matter son is to have a fault, did not pay mobile phone fee for you

immediately. That morning we just finished invigilating a Chinese exam, there

was no invigilation in the afternoon, so I accompanied your daughter-in-law to

go shopping. True, there were a lot of mobile offices on the road, but I just

didnt stop. Not intentionally, but the son really forgot, really forgot to pay

for you. Maybe because we havent come out for a long time, we havent come out

from the 15th day of the first lunar month to last Saturday, because the weather

is bad, it always rains, and most importantly, we dont have much time. As a

matter of fact, you know your son is busy with his work. Your son is leading the

graduating class for the first time this year. He has two Chinese classes and a

head teacher. Your daughter-in-law is taking two classes in English. The most

important thing is that your daughter-in-law has been pregnant for four months.

You all know that. Because there are only 80 days to go before the college

entrance examination, and our school did not do well in the second simulation

exam, the class your son teaches only scored medium in this exam, the class

teacher and teacher who did poorly in this exam will write a review, and the

principal will personally hold a teacher symposium for your class. Your son is a

young man who just started to work. I think highly of this job. You have also

taught your son to be a success, and your son is working hard in this direction.

Dont I work so hard just to argue for you?

I just mentioned that your daughter-in-law is four months pregnant, so now

she is the key object of protection in our family. In the family where I work,

there are only two of us living and everything in the family is left to me. If I

dont buy food for a day, I have no food for a day. No matter when I come home

at noon every day, I always have to cook at home, and no matter what time I come

home every night, I have to cook dinner. No matter how tired your son is, the

POTS and bowls are always washed by your son. Mom, my son is so tired.

The pressure from work has made my son a little out of breath. Really,

every morning at 6:30 am to the class to guard the students morning reading, I

take Chinese class, Monday on Friday there is also a language morning reading,

also asked to sit in the class, the middle should guard the students on 9:50 to

10:20 small self-study, generally from 6:30 am to work to 11 o clock can go

home from work. Sometimes I have my fourth class and I get home at twelve o

clock sharp. But still silently suffer. After having lunch at noon, my son will

come to the class at about one o clock to watch over the students for their

lunch break. In the afternoon also asked to sit, of course, there are afternoon

classes, the son still have to go.

Sometimes go home after school is 5:35, at six o clock or so will be to

the class to watch the students late practice, and night self-study, night back

home is 11:00 more, mother, son very tired.

Mom, I think very selfishly, I dont want to grow up, because when I was a

child, you will take care of me, I dont have to worry about food and clothing.

I did not expect to grow up so much trouble, so much pressure. Life a lot of

things to me, all the ups and downs to fall on the shoulders of my a person,

mother ah, my favorite mom, son grew up, the son is responsible for the society

and school family give me, but the son, after all, or the son, your son, after

all, only 27 years old, 27 of how I felt as a child, although I have a family,

as the RenFu, soon as parents, but I always so young shoulders pressure big,

mother, son, really very tired very tired.

Mom, your son is a man. How can he tell anyone these words? Even your

daughter-in-law sometimes doesnt feel the pressure of your son. Mother, how I

want to sit down, sit on your side to and you happy talk, son want to let you

listen to not know more, want you also to share the sons a little bit more,

but, son always too busy to go home during the Spring Festival is just eat a

meal, and busy with relatives happy New Year, what time to sit down and talk to

you? Mother, my good mother, your son and you have many times in the dream chat,

your son and you are the most conversable ah, I remember when I was a child in

your side, but I told you everything. Remember the second day, the son of a girl

for you and write a love letter to the photos, your son is told the others write

love letter things to you, later, or you help the idea of rejected this door

"good thing", there are a lot of things son was willing to share with you, oh,

mother, as time goes by slowly, your son is also grew up in slowly. By the

original at your side, then went to college in xinxiang, then went to college in

xinyang, to the present work, gradually away from you, the son of you always not

in your side, although a week is also a two telephone, although every time is 20

minutes of talk time, but you still cant share all your son, gradually, mom,

you have misunderstood your son.

Son really wanted to give you money, but is in this Wednesday, because I

change a day of the examination paper on Sunday, the Sunday afternoon to

supervise, and on Sunday night self-study, that one day, your son at the end of

the volume change is very sick, because 170 Chinese papers, want to change down

in most, it is not easy, on Monday, the time you have two classes in the

morning, the son of, to do morning reading and research meeting to be held in

the afternoon, on Monday night I have night self-study, is four lessons on

Tuesday, Wednesday, when I said go to pay the phone bill for you, but this time

your phone has been through. I called you several times last night to tell you

about this, and finally got your call around eight o clock. I explained a lot

to you at that time, just in case you were angry. I didnt expect that my father

called me tonight and said that you were really angry and furious. Mom, my son

is really sad. I didnt expect you to be like this because of something like

this. After all, I am a piece of your flesh, mother, and you must not

misunderstand your son. Your son, who has always loved you dearly.

I love you, Mom.

We all respect and love her. Tomorrow she is going to attend an important meeting， at which she will be given a medal for her advanced deeds.

Dear Mr Pan:

It has been a long time since I wrote the last letter. Nowdays, people write letters less and less, instead, they make a call or send a SMS. However, it is still a good way for us to communicate with each other by sending a letter.

Its my honour to get the chance to write to you. "Approachable" is my first impression of you, because you always keeps smiling. Students may fear the teachers that are serious both in and out of class. Smile makes a teacher popular with his students, you are a teacher of this very kind.

You always arrive at the classroom ahead of any of the students, from which we could imply that you are a diligent man with regular habit. Before the class, you like to talk to us, at this very time, you are more a friend than a teacher. To be honest, I was surprised in the first class when I learned a teacher at your age could speak English in such a fluent way.(I didnt mean you are old, youre young at heart.) Moreover, you know well how to keep your class attractive. Youve got such an active mind that you can keep talking during the whole class without a pause. I always appreciated your ideas and enjoyed listening to you. In your class, I learned not only the writing skills but also the presentation skills as well as much knowledge of other areas. Thanks for your excellent teaching.

Ive got some suggestions for you. It seems that we students have got few chances to participate in discussion during the class time. Most of the time, we are listening. Seldom did we express our own ideas. I suggest that teachers should interact with students more frequently in the class. Besides, Id like to practice writing more, so would you please leave us more assignments?

Happy new year.

With every good wish.

Yours sincerely Dali Wang

The skiing,or traveling over snow on skis,the has a history of almost five millennia.Although modern skiing has evolved from beginnings in Scandinavia,it may have been practised as early as 600 BC in Daxinganling,in what is now China.

Originally purely the utilitarian,starting in the mid-1800s skiing became a popular recreational activity and sport,being practised around the world,and providing crucial economic support to purpose-built ski resorts and communities

The oldest and most accurately documented evidence of skiing origins is found in modern day Norway and Sweden.The earliest primitive carvings circa 5000 B.C.depict a skier with one pole,located in Rdy in the Nordland region of Norway.The first primitive ski was found in a peat bog in Hoting,Sweden which dates back to 4500 or 2500 B.C.

Skiing is a recreational activity and competitive sport in which the participant attaches long runners or skis to boots or shoes on the feet and uses them to travel on top of snow.Aside from recreation and competition,skiing has been used for military purposes and even travelling in areas that experience heavy snowfall.Many types of competitive skiing events are recognized by the International Olympic Committee,and the International Ski Federation.
