Since we go to school, English is one of our main subjects, the government pays special attention to the English education. In the class, we have learned the grammar and sentence structure for a long time, some students are no more satisfied with what we learn in the class, they want to speak English fluently, so they can take advantage of what they learn in the class. Nowadays, English corner has be the main symbol for the English learners, most people join the corner in the weekends. Joining the English corner can enhance people’s ability of speaking English. Students have less chance to speaking in the class, but in the English corner, they can speak what they want. As there are people from all classes in the English corner, people can share their experience for each other, they can learn more from each other. If you have time, I suggest you to join the English corner.

打从我们上学，英语就成为了我们的主要科目之一，政府也格外注重英语教育。在课上，我们在很长一段时间里学习了语法和句子结构，一些学生不再满足于在课上学习到的，他们想要讲一口流利的英语，因此他们可以充分利用在课上学习到的。现在，英语角已经成为了英语学习者的主要象征，大部分人在周末参加英语角。参加英语角可以增强他们讲英语的能力。学生在课上很少有机会讲英语，但是在英语角，他们可以讲自由发话。英语角里有来自社会各界的人士，人们可以彼此交流经验，互相学习。如果你有时间，我建议你来参加英语角。

As is shown in the picture, two men had a big dinner in a restaurant, but much of the food was left and some was even untouched at all. When the waitress asked them to pack the remaining food, they felt very surprised, thinking that it was unbelievable for them to do things like that with too much money in their pocket.

It is a pity that many people act like the two men in the picture. In my view, we should pack the leftovers when we have meals outside. As we all know, saving is a fine tradition for our Chinese people and therefore we shouldn’t waste a bit food. Also, there is not enough food in the world and there are many people starving. In addition, we students should form the habit of saving food and give away some to the people in need. Finally, we have the responsibility to help people around us realize the importance of saving.

Only in this way can we build up an economized society and live a happy and healthy life.

如图片所示,两个男人在一家餐馆吃了丰盛的晚饭,但是剩下的食物和一些甚至没有。当服务员问他们打包剩下的食物,他们感到很惊讶,以为他们是不可思议的事情,用太多的钱在他们的口袋里。

遗憾的是,很多人就像照片中的两人。在我看来,我们应该把剩饭剩菜,当我们在外面吃饭。我们都知道,节约是我们中国人的优良传统,因此我们不应该浪费食物。同样,世界上没有足够的食物,有很多人挨饿。此外,我们学生应养成节约粮食的习惯和放弃一些有需要的人。最后,我们有责任帮助我们周围的人们意识到节约的重要性。

只有用这种方法我们才能建立一个节约型社会,过幸福健康的生活。

当我上高中的时候，有一天，我的语文老师很兴奋地告诉我们我国的第一个宇航员已经成功地登上了外太空。听到这个消息，所有的学生都感到很兴奋，我们为自己是中国人而感到自豪，这意味着我们的国家已经进入了新的阶段。中国的第一个宇航员叫杨利伟，在那个时候，所有的新闻都是报道了他，人们观看了他登上太空并安全返回的过程。我没有机会目睹整个过程，因为我当时有课，但是我一直在想着这件事。如今很多年过去了，越来越多的中国宇航员成功登上了太空，每一次我都会感到很兴奋，我很高兴看到我们国家变得强大。

Then I found they wanted to eat buffet, I was so happy, because I always wanted to have buffet, I could eat a lot of food. As we paid the money more than we usually spent, so all of us wanted to eat as more as possible, even though we were full enough, we still tried to eat. I would go the wash room many times, so that I could continue to eat. I found eating the buffet should be a happy thing for me, but now it seemed to be a kind of torture, I always told myself to eat more than I could bear, my stomach hurt.

living in a big city英语作文(一)

Compared to last years statistics, this year more and more youngsters would like to launch a career in first-tier cities. There is no doubt that residing in big cities brings more chances to be hired and promoted. Futher benefits associated with big cities are higher income, indeed decent social status, and the most prevalent pastimes.

With the explosive growth of house price and higher price of commodities,inevitably, you would burden more pressure living in big cities. Likewise, big city has a dense and large population. As a result, you may encounter vast crowds of people when you are out, and you have to wait in a long queues at the hospitals when you get ill as well.

In my points, only by discovering yourself and knowing whats your niche areas can you hope to lead a better life. As for fortune, as for fame, they are of no consequence just like floating clouds. Nothing is more significant than your own happiness.

living in a big city英语作文(二)

The city is the place where all industrial, cultural and educational centers are situated. In big cities you can find museums, theaters, clubs, cinemas, big shops and hospitals, comfortable modern flats.

People try to live in cites because all necessary objects are situated nearby. For example if you get ill a hospital or a chemists shop will be situated near your home in the city, and if you live in the country it will be hard to find any medical help very quickly.

Also in big cites you can find all sorts of entertainment such as cinemas, clubs entertaining parks and so on. Many people like to spend their free time there because it helps them to relax and bring them a lot of pleasure.

It is really convenient that everything you need in daily life is situated near you. One of the most important comforts of big cites is that you can quickly get everywhere you like by underground, bus, trolleybus. Also in big cities there is electricity therefore you can use electrical devices such as TV sets, computers, radio, microwave oven, refrigerators and so on.

One more thing, without which it would be impossible to live today is the telephone and where there is a telephone there is also Internet. The communication (связь) has huge value in the life of people and we have got used to it to such extent that if there is no telephone we feel uncomfortable and lonely.

Yes, it is really comfortable, and at first glance everything is good but nowadays big cites there are a great amount of cars and factories. Big cites suffer of overpopulation, dirty air, and water, The streets became noisy and after hardworking day people cannot relax.

People try to do everything to go to the countryside because only there they can find silence. Every holiday and every weekend people try to leave their houses and go to the country.

I live in … district. The ecological conditions here are very bad because near my house a lot of industrial objects are situated. For example near … factory is situated. As for me I prefer to live in a big city because a lot of big shops are situated near my home, but I also like to spend my holidays in the country because after living in the city for about 9 months I begin to get tired.

from the golden-tipped fields of mid-west america to the ancient kingdoms of verdant palestine, there is a happy truth to be shared with all who would take heed. in more recent times, this truth has been expressed as: april showers bring may flowers. this is a truth that promises light bursting from darkness, strength born from weakness and, if one dares to believe, life emerging from death.

从美国中西部金色的田野，到巴勒斯坦嫩绿色的古老疆土，那些留心观察的人共享着同一个快乐真理。近来这一真理被阐述为：四月的雨带来五月的花。这一真理预示光明会从黑暗中迸发;刚强生自软弱;如果你敢确信，生命会从死亡中萌发!

farmers all over the world know the importance and immutability of the seasons. they know that there is a season to plant and a season to harvest; everything must be done in its own time. although the rain pours down with the utmost relentlessness, ceasing all outdoor activities, the man of the field lifts his face to the heavens and smiles. despite the inconvenience, he knows that the rain provides the nourishment his crops need to grow and flourish. the torrential rains in the month of april, give rise to the glorious flowers in the month of may.

全世界的农民们都明白季节的重要性和永恒性。他们知道在哪个季节播种，哪个季节收获，每件事都必须应时而做!虽然暴雨无情地倾盆而下，迫使所有的户外劳作停止，但土地的主人会仰天微笑。尽管有诸多不便，但是他知道，雨会为他的庄稼带来繁茂生长所需的营养。四月里的豪雨，会带来五月里的繁花似锦。

but this ancient truth applies to more than the crops of the fields; it is an invaluable message of hope to all who experience tragedy in life. a dashed relationship with one can open up the door to a brand new friendship with another. a lost job here can provide the opportunity for a better job there. a broken dream can become the foundation of a wonderful future. everything has its place.

但是这一古老真理并不只适用于田里的庄稼，它还是那些正经历着人生磨难的人的无限希冀：一段友谊的受挫会开启另一段崭新友谊的大门;此处失去的工作会提供彼处更好的工作机会;一个梦想的破灭会成为美好未来的基石。万物皆有道!

remember this: overwhelming darkness may endure for a night, but it will never overcome the radiant light of the morning. when you are in a season of sorrow, hang in there, because a season of joy may be just around the corner…

请谨记：势不可挡的黑暗或有一晚，但它永远无法阻挡清晨的万丈光芒!当你正处于悲伤之季，请坚持住，因为欢乐的季节也许马上就会到来……

Modern American famous entrepreneurs iacocca said: "without innovation, death." Is ah, this sentence is absolute. Innovation to the development of a person indeed played a very big effect, only learn to innovate, to learn from various angles, to make themselves permanently in the invincible position, to make it and get play on their original level, thus more effectively to change yourself. Rut is one of our well known idioms, which contains the truth is told us to learn to innovate. Once upon a time there were two men, a love to imitate celebrity calligraphy, and the other one is required to follow their own style to practice, another ultimately become a famous calligrapher, but the rut is still unknown. Thus, dares to innovate, to do something.

And what was said Mr Qi baishi is the portrayal of the story: "like I am dead, I dead." Go out of our predecessors framework, will not have their own heaven and earth. There is a story about a businessman and with partners go to gold, because gold prospectors, where resources are less, he learned to innovative ideas, to sell water, adapt to the needs of the market, and made a lot of money.

现代美国著名企业家艾柯卡说过:“不创新，就死亡。”是呀，这句话非常有绝对性。创新对一个人的发展的确起了很大的效果，只有学会创新，学会从多个角度，才能使自己永久地处于不败之地，使之并在自己原有水准上得到发挥，从而更高效地改变自我 。 墨守成规是我们众所皆知的一个成语，其中包含的道理就是告诉我们要学会创新。从前有俩个人，一个酷爱模仿名人书法，而另一个人则要求遵循自己的风格去练习，最终另一个成为一名著名的书法家，而那个墨守成规的人仍默默无闻。由此可见，敢于创新，才能有所作为。

而齐白石先生所说过的话正是这个故事的写照：“似我者死，学我者死。”走不出前人的框架，自己就不会有自己的天地。 还有一个故事讲述的是一个商人与同伙伴各自去淘金，由于淘金者数不胜数，哪儿资源又少，他学会创新思路，从而改卖水，适应了市场的需要，从而赚了许多钱。 这两个事例无一不告诉我们创新的重要性。如今，这个社会大家都以创新为前提，去不断发展，完善，改变。试问一下，一个人即拥有非凡头脑，又有创新意识和坚持不懈的精神，他会又怎什么样的结局呢?当然则是完美的结局咯!

所以，让我们行动起来，学会创新，提倡创新，去不断改善自我，趁我们其春年华，努力去做，是个人原有水准得到充分发挥，使自己永久性地处于不败之地，让自己拥有一个完美的结局，为自己的人生添上一笔绚丽的色彩!朋友，记住：创新改善自我。努力做吧!

I always feel tired after eight classes a day, so my dream school starts at 8:30 a.m. and ends at 3:30 p.m. There are three lessons in the morning and two in the afternoon. We can choose our favorite lessons to learn. We can spend more time doing some outside reading. The students do after-school activities for one and a half hours every day. We needn’t do a lot of homework. We are all happy to stay at school.

Besides that, my dream school looks like a big garden. There are many kinds of flowers around the modern buildings. Sweet perfumes are diffused all around. If I want to have a rest, I can lie on the grass, listen to music by the lake or look out at the flowers from the classroom windows.

The teachers here are kind and helpful. They are not only our teachers but also our good friends. The students are polite and friendly. We all know how to keep our school clean and tidy. There is no litter around the campus.

I love my dream school. We will grow up to be happier there.

If I were a boy again, I would practice perseverance more often, and never

give up a thing because it was or inconvenient. if we want light, we must

conquer darkness. perseverance can sometimes equal genius in its results. “there

are only two creatures,” says a proverb, “who can surmount the pyramids—the

eagle and the snail.”

if i were a boy again, I would school myself into a habit of attention; i

would let nothing come between me and the subject in hand. i would remember that

a good skater never tries to skate in two directions at once.the habit of

attention becomes part of our life, if we begin early enough. i often hear grown

up people say “ i could not fix my attention on the sermon or book, although I

wished to do so” , and the reason is, the habit was not formed in youth.

if I were to live my life over again, I would pay more attention to the

cultivation of the memory. I would strengthen that faculty by every possible

means, and on every possible occasion. it takes a little hard work at first to

remember things accurately; but memory soon helps itself, and gives very little

trouble. it only needs early cultivation to become a power.

i am a girl who likes thinking alone. i have a nice dream. it"s colourful

like a rainbow.

the dream is about my life in the future. i hope my house can be on an

island with many coconuts.

there are at least ten large rooms in the house. my house also has a

balcony and a garage. i have no orchard but i have a wonderful garden.

there is a fence around my garden. i would like to grow some flowers in it,

like tulips, roses, cannas, morning glories and orchids. i think when spring

comes, there will be many butterflies and bees. in the north of my garden,

there"s a small pond. many goldfish, a few ducks, geese and turtles will live in

it. they are lovely!

there is a lot of happiness in my dream house. do you think so? if so,

please make friends with me quickly. i will tell you more!

From the sixteenth of January to the seventh of February is our Winter

Holiday. I think everybody did a lot of things in the Winter Holiday. But I

didnt. Let you to listen to my story of Winter Holiday.

I spend a lot of time on the homework… Every day in my Winter Holiday，I

always got up late. Then I listened to the tape，it was nine oclock. Then I ate

breakfast and then I did my homework during the daytime!I’m not very slow but

the homework was too heavy!

Im unlucky on the playing too. I played firecracker but I hurt my finger

with the fire. Im careless to kindle the firecracker，so Im very unlucky.

I still unlucky on my friends party. In the morning，I wanted to get up

early but I woke up at 10：50. After ten minutes，the party would start! So I only

eat a piece of bread then I go to my friend’s home!And I stay at his home for a

long time when I came home. My mother and father were very angry and they

scolded me!

Im worried and feel unlucky on my weigh. Last term，I was 48 kilogram but

now I am 51 kilogram!I must to do banting!

But most important，I have gone to Shanghai Ocean Aquarium，I want to go

there very much because I want to see the horse，the monkey…in the sea. Now Ive

done it . It is a bright dot in my Winter Holiday.

Iraq is a part of the Middle East next to Iran & Kuwait. It is very

important to the rest of the world because of its underground petroleum

fields.

It is said that oil is industrial blood and for this reason perhaps the war

started.

On September 11,2001,the Twin Towers in New York as well as parts of the

Pentagon were destroyed by an airplane planned by terrorists, which made George

Bush declared to fight the country’s enemies.It was said that Iraq still

possessed many weapons of mass destruction and weapon inspectors were sent to

the country by the UN to find the clues.Though no evidence was found, America

still wanted to go to war with Iraq and the main target is Sadam Hussein. The

war was just like the quiet battle between France and China in 1800s.It was said

that a relation of Sadam betrayed him.

I think war is not just a matter of two persons or two-family fight. It is

related to so many victims’ inrerests . As a leader, one must always think for

al

the people, so will his country be prosperous for always.

Christmas Day-December 25-which celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ, the founder of the Christian religion, is the biggest and best-loved holiday in the Christian World.

According to the Bible, the holy book of Christians, God decided to allow his only son, Jesus Christ, to be born to a human mother and live on earth so that people could understand God better and learn to love God and each other more. "Christmas"- meaning "celebration of Christ "- honors the time when Jesus was born to a young Jewish woman Mary.

Mary was engaged to be married to Joseph, a carpenter, but before they came together, she was found to be with child. Because Joseph, her husband, was a righteous man and did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly.

But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins."

Although the exact date of the birth of Jesus nearly 2,000 years ago is not known, the calendar on the supposed date divides all time into B.C. (Before Christ )and A.D. ( a Latin phrase, Anno Domini, "in the year of our Lord.") For the first 300 years, Jesus birthday was celebrated on different dates. Finally, in the year 354, church leaders chose December 25 as his birthday.

I like Yao Ming very much who is the idol I like most. I like playing

basketball and in my opinion, he is the best basketball player inChina.

When he started to play basketball in NBA, I was so excited that I saw the

news about him everyday. When he performed well, I was really happy for him.

When he did not, I hoped he could rearrange himself and do well in the next

game. What’s more.

his personalities attract me as well. He is kind-hearted and humorous. He

always smiles and is kind to very body, even his opponents. Although he does not

play basketball anymore, I still like him. I hope he can do well in other fields

as well.
