高二年级有关新闻的英语作文

全文共 1989 字

+ 加入清单

News, used to be the most dont like to see it. Since the childhood has been like watching cartoon and foam. Now over the years is already 15 years old girl, the adults always said I dont understand, I also often because of his bad temper, or not doing things. "Knowledge too little" finally let me find the dawn, from then on began to like the news.

Compared to the past, only reading does make me understand a lot of knowledge, also became the academic leaders, but its a downright failure in life. While reading can also know society, but after all the writers praise is the truth in life, and that I love watching cartoons, and eulogize justice and goodness, degeneration and reject evil. In such an environment, my heart has been living in the white cloud, so that as the growth of the age, heart is still very naive. But I will contact with the reality of society, the essence of this society is not absolutely fair, not cheated can only let oneself become strong. But when he does not know this, just complain, disposition also become bad. Fortunately, when I was going to despair, when the news took me, no let me into the who also do not know to have bottomless pit.

Know only after watching the news of the worlds largest and I small. The content of the news is very rich, I also have different preferences, from country to country, down to between people. I see from a real case: "some of the good qualities: honesty, integrity, good Samaritan, wisdom... how important it is for this society!

新闻,以前是最不喜欢看的。从小到大一直喜看动画片和泡沫剧。现今过了年已是十五岁的大姑娘了,大人们常说我不懂事,我也常因自己脾气不好,或是不会处理事情而烦恼。一句“见识太少”终于让我找到了曙光,从此便开始喜欢上新闻。

对比以往,只读书确实让我懂了不少知识,也成为了学业上的佼佼者,但在生活上却是一个失败透顶的人。虽然读书也可以认识社会,但毕竟作家们歌颂的都是生活中的真善美,以及那我爱看的动画片,也是讴歌正义和善良,贬低和排斥邪恶势力。在这样的环境影响下,我的心一直生活在洁白无瑕的云端,以至于随着年龄的增长,心确仍然很幼稚。但我终究要与现实的社会接触,这个社会的本质就是没有绝对的公平,要想不吃亏就只能让自己成为强者。可惜当初的自己并不懂得这点,只是一味的抱怨,性格也变得恶劣。幸运的是,当我快要绝望的时候,新闻拉住了我,没有让我滑向那个谁也不知道有没有底的深渊。

在看了新闻后才知道世界之大与我之渺小。新闻的内容很丰富,我的喜好也不尽相同,上到国家与国家之间,下到人与人之间。我从一个个真实的例子中看出:“人的一些美好的品质:诚信、正直、见义勇为、智慧……对于这个社会是多么重要!

With the development of science , more and more people are confused that whether it is good or bad to make robort. Are roborts going to take place of human beings.

Every coin has two side. Robort can be good to our society and life. At the same time,it also have some bad effect on our life.In my opinion, the advantages of robort are much more than the disadvantage of roborts.

First, roborts make our life more convenient. We can do many thing that we didnt have the ability to do in the past by using roborts.That makes our life more effective.

Second, roborts can be used in industry produce. Factories can reduce the cost of prodution by using roborts. Roborts do not need to eat and they will not be ill. Thats very good for producing goods.

Third,roborts can save more people when disaster happens. Because they cant feel pain and they can save more people without feeling tired.

In a word, the world is changing .We should also change our thought to accept roborts to become part of our life . That can make our life more colorful.

Before we read the books, the introduction will be showed ahead of the

stories’ beginning. At first, I get used to the introduction and have the main

idea of the stories. But later, as I read more books, I find the introduction is

not a good way to help readers to appreciate the charm of the stories. Usually,

the readers will get the main idea before they read the stories, because some

introduction is very specific, even the ending of the story is being told, so

readers will not feel excited and surprised in the process of reading. While if

they havent read the introduction, then every detail of the story will attract

them, because they have no idea what will happen in the next chapter. So I

advise not to read the introduction, and the unknown plot is full of

在我的脑海里,有许多人值得我佩服,但有一个人的品格,使我终生受益――清洁工。

记得在寒冷的早晨,在上学的路上,隐隐约约看到一个人,那个人拿着扫帚在扫地。走进一看,原来是清洁工。就在这时候,我想:这么冷的天,清洁工在扫地,难道不冷吗?只见她穿着制服,带着口罩,左手拿着扫帚,右手拿着簸箕,刺脸的风把她的耳朵都吹红了。

她左手拿着簸箕,右手拿着扫帚,认真而又耐心的扫着。只见她把这片赃物扫起来,又把那片赃物扫起来,这样的动作也不知道要重复多少遍。再瞧,她的双手配合的多么默契呀!要是簸箕满了,就小心翼翼地倒进垃圾车里,生怕把刚刚扫赶净的地又弄脏了。倒完了,就又开始扫了。我从她的眼睛里看到,她是多么希望大家不再乱扔赃物,保持道路昔日的干净。这时,大风吹来,把道路又吹脏了。这位清洁工无奈的说:“唉,真没办法,我又要重新扫了。”接着,又振起精神说:“没关系,我一定能扫完的!”说完又开始扫了,这回,她先把垃圾扫在了一起,又拿簸箕把垃圾扫进簸箕里。满了就用扫帚挡住口,不让垃圾掉下来,再到进垃圾车里。我想:这样能够节约多点时间,把垃圾扫完。想着想着,清洁工就把这些垃圾扫完了。我不犹自住地走进他,笑盈盈地说:“您真好!我要向您学习那种默默奉献的精神!”清洁工听了,眼睛笑眯眯的。

这就是我最敬佩的人。一个每天起早贪黑、默默奉献的一个人。难道这个人的品格不值得我去学习吗?

There are several apricot trees along the edge of the field, and the yellow

apricot trees are full of trees. The morning dew sticks to the apricot, which

makes it look lovely and inviting. From time to time, a few fat sparrows were

coming, and standing in the trees, chirping and whispering to each other; Or one

or two big black birds, "woah, wow," and fly to the distance; Because of several

nearby streams and ponds, also often have egrets pass by, so they are flapping

wing of the white clean, gracefully and rest a while in the field, or fly

directly to the side of the stream of fish to eat.

What a beautiful view! I kicked my slippers and walked slowly up to the

field. The smell of incense came to me, I was intoxicated, I can not help

holding a side of the MM and JJ, dancing. We whirled around in the field like a

tornado, and the mud was whirling around and we were surrounded by mud...

In the afternoon, I first saw the sunset glow. Oh, that was a masterpiece

of nature! The exotic glow of the glow of the earth, the cunning cloud, stole

the suns gold gauze, triumphantly rode in the wind driven carriage, into the

sunset clouds to show off their charm. The bright sunset clouds, like the red

full of blush; Like a girls clothes, light and floating... It has red, yellow

and purple colors, and sometimes it is a lovely red scarf, and sometimes it is a

red mane horse with sprinted feet.

Beautiful home, beautiful green field, I - love - you.

1、早上起床时间控制在6点至6点半左右,然后马上去做一下运动,大概持续到7点钟(适当的运动有助于大脑血液循环)。然后你吃一下早餐等等的。

2、上午时间大可不必疯狂地做作业。你可以先看一些英文的书(课外的,但是适合初中生的),那样有助于培养语感、积累词汇;然后(大概10点)你可以看一些文学类的课外书(当然不是英文的了)。适当地让自己有一个闲适的生活状态。

再说一下,你可以有针对地看书,上午你也可以看一些自己较弱的学科的书

3、下面说说下午的任务(忘记说了,午饭之前你也可以去运动一下)。下午,人的一般注意力不太容易集中,那么你可以做一些暑假作业,注重理解。因为下午背的东西,一般都不太容易记住。

4、晚上,你不必太紧张,如果稍微勤奋点的话,你可以再做做作业;但我觉得晚上大可以看一下课外书,看一些新闻,或许去散散步。到8、9点时就可以睡觉了

5、总的来说,你一天要有9-10小时的睡眠时间,劳逸结合,才可以有较好的状态去迎接初三。我们一起努力吧!加油!

world, the one who masters the all-sided source will have more chances to be

we need to make connection with others, we are not doing business with

ourselves, so it is in need of having relationship with others. The good social

skill can help us attract attention easily and impress the future partner. If we

篇20:重阳节高二英语作文

The Chong Yang Festival is celebrated on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, and it is as such known as the Double Ninth Festival.

Climbing mountains: On the Double Ninth Festival, people customarily climb mountains, appreciate chrysanthemum flowers, drink chrysanthemum wine, and eat double-ninth cakes. The Double Ninth Festival is also the Old Men Festival. Old people are especially meant to improve their health by taking part in the activities on the day of the festival.

Origins: The festival began as early as the Warring States Period (475 - 221 BC). According to the yin/yang dichotomy that forms a basis to the Chinese world view, yin represents the elements of darkness and yang represents life and brightness. The number nine is regarded as yang. The ninth day of the ninth month is a double yang day, hence the name Chong Yang Festival. (Chong means repeat in Chinese.) The ninth month also heralds the approach of winter. It is a time when the living need warm clothing, and filial Chinese sons and daughters extended this to make the festival a time for providing winter clothes for their ancestors. The Double Ninth Festival, therefore, also became an occasion to visit the graves of dead family members. Clothes made of paper would then be burnt as offerings.

Family get-togethers: The Double Ninth Festival is also a time for family get-togethers. It is an occasion to remember one‘s ancestors, the sacrifices they made and the hardships they underwent. Often, family outings are organised during which people search to renew their appreciation of nature and to reaffirm their love and concern for family members and close friends.
