+ 加入清单The traffic problem is one of the most serious problems in my hometown.
Recently, more and more people have private car, but the roads are so narrow
that we have to fight against the heavy traffic when we go out. Especially
during the rush hours, cars and buses are unable to move. To make things worse,
many people are killed in the traffic accidents. How miserable it is!
For the sake of our life and security, some measures must be taken to
change the present situation. In the first place, as there are a great many
cars, we should control the number of private cars and vehicles and use the
public transportation more often. Secondly, the government should widen the
roads and build more flyovers, so as to ease the traffic pressure and reduce the
traffic accidents. In addition, the undergrounds and light rails should be
constructed, so that we can have more choices when going out and do not have to
worry about the traffic jams in the future.
I believe the traffic problem could be solved if we devote our actions to
them.

Good afternoon, everyone。
The topic of my speech today is “Being a Good Listener”。
Good listening can always show respect, promote understanding, and improve interpersonal relationship。
Many people suggest that parents should listen more to their children, so they will understand them better, and find it easy to narrow the generation gap; teachers should listen more to their students, then they can meet their needs better, and place themselves in a good relationship with their students; students should listen more to their classmates, thus they will help and learn from each other, and a friendship is likely to be formed。
What I want to stress is that each of us should listen to others。 Show your respect and never stop others till they finish their talk; show you are interested by a supportive silence or a knowing smile; be open-minded to different opinions even though you don’t like them。 In a word, good listening can really enable us to get closer to each other。
Thank you for your listening!

protect earths environment, let our children and grandchildren live in a

篇4:怀念的英语作文初中
全文共 2558 字
+ 加入清单When memory began for me, my grandfather was past sixty-a great tall man
with thick hair becoming gray. He had black eyes and a straight nose which ended
in a slightly flattened tip. Once he explained seriously to me that he got that
flattened tip as a small child when he fell down and stepped on his nose.
The little marks of laughter at the corners of his eyes were the prodnct of
a kindly and humorous nature. The years of work which had bent his shoulders had
never dulled his humour nor his love of a joke.
Everywhere he went, "Gramp" made friends easily. At the end of half an hour
you felt you had known him all your life. I soon learned that he hated to give
orders , but that when he had to, he tried to make his orders sound like
suggestions.
One July morning, as he was leaving to go to the cornfield, he said :
"Edwin, you can pick up the potatoes in the field today if you want to do that.
" Then he drove away with his horses.
The day passed, and I did not have any desire to pick up potatoes. Evening
came and the potatoes were still in the field. Gramp, dusty and tired, led the
horses to get their drink.
"How many bags of potatoes were there?" Gramp inquired. "I dont know.
"
"How many potatoes did you pick up?"
"I didnt pick any. " "Not any! Why not?"
"You said I could pick, them up if I wanted to. You didnt say I had to.
"
In the next few minutes I learned a lesson I would not forget: when Gramp
said I could if I wanted to, he meant that I should want to.
Gram hated cruelty and injustice. The injustices of history, even those of
a thousand years before, angered her as much as the injustices of her own
day.
She also had a deep love of beauty. When she was almost seventy-five, and
had gone to live with one of her daughters, she spent a delightful morning
washing dishes because, as she said, the beautiful patterns on the dishes gave
her pleasure. The bird, the flowers, the clouds-all that was beautiful around
her- pleased her. She was like the father of the French painter, Millet, who
used to gather grass and show it to his son , saying , "See how beautif ul this
is ! "
In a pioneer society it is the harder qualities of mind and character that
are of value. The softer virtues are considered unnecessary. Men and women
struggling daily to earn a living are unable, even for a moment, to forget the
business of preserving their lives. Only unusual people, like my grandparents,
manage to keep the softer qualities in a world of daily struggle.
Such were the two people with whom I spent the months from June to
September in the wonderful days of summer and youth.

Dear mom and dad, How time flies! And it has been really seven years since
I entered the middle school, during which time I spent the unforgettable time
with my friends; what’s more, the most precious ages with my family. Instead of
calling you regularly, I thought I’d write a letter to tell you exactly what I
want to say. To be good parents is by no means an easy job as I imagined before.
It includes patience, responsibility and affection. Through these years, I here
really gained a lot from your experience. I still remember when I failed in
maths and even wanted to give it up, you just patted me on the shoulder and
encouraged me to have another try. Later, you praised me for my progress and
earnest effort, which really gave me a sense of achievement. Looking younger
children, I suddenly saw myself in teenage years. I was so rebellious and
inconsiderate at that time. You must have gone to a lot of troubles for me. I am
really sorry for the time I made you irritated. Mom and dad, thank you for being
firm with me when I went through my rebellious stage. I do appreciate what you
have done for me. I love you forever.

篇12:关于向农民表达敬意的英语作文
全文共 824 字
+ 加入清单There are a lot of annual public holidays in China, such as Labors Day, Childrens Day and National Day. But I think we should celebrate another holiday -- Farmers Day.
Why should there be Farmers Day?
First of all, China is a large agfieukural country. The majority of the population is farmers. Farmers play a vital role in China. They provide food, without which we cannot live. Also, farmers support industry with various kinds of raw materials.
Most farmers work hard from dawn to dusk, with little time to rest or entertain themselves.
Some people look down upon farmers because they think they do not do "mental labor."
I suggest there should be a Farmers Day to show respect for the 800 million farmers in China. This would help people realize the contributions farmers make to society and would raise their social status.
篇13:手机英语年级
全文共 3150 字
+ 加入清单Cellular phones have had a major impact on our lives and the way that we
perform every day tasks. Many of these changes are apparent, while others we may
not even be aware of.
Cell phones have brought a whole new meaning to the term multitasking.
Twenty years ago, it was not possible to talk to the office while you were at
the grocery store picking up some necessary items. You could never have had a
three-way business conference while you were fixing dinner or been able to deal
with a business client from home while caring for a sick child. Cell phones have
enabled us to do various tasks all at the same time.
Cell phones have also enabled families to keep in closer touch with each
other. Children can contact you if they have missed their ride form soccer
practice and your spouse can call while he is stuck in traffic to let you know
that he is going to be late for supper. Teenagers are able to call to ask
permission to go somewhere, and with GPS features that are now available on some
cell phones, you are able to check to make sure that they are where they are
suppose to be.
Many of these advantages we do not even notice. Have you ever arrived at
the grocery store and realized that you have forgotten your grocery list? The
first thing you would probably do is to call home and have one of your children
read the list off to you. In the same situation in past years, you may have
forgotten things or have had to drive all the way back home to get it. If your
car breaks down, you automatically call for help instead of having to walk to
find a pay phone. Cell phones have certainly made our lives much more
convenient.
Cell phones have also changed the way that people interact with each other.
When we call someone, we are actually calling the person and not a place. This
enables us to be more spontaneous when making plans as you rarely get a busy
signal and unlike a land line telephone, someone is always home. Cell phones
also enable us to call if we are going to be late for an appointment, although
this has led to cell phone users running late more often than those who do not
have cell phones. These users seem to have adopted the attitude that appointment
times are not concrete and use their cell phones to renegotiate their arrival
time.
One of the greatest disadvantages of the cellular phone is the fact that we
do not talk to strangers when traveling anymore. In the past, several people
waiting for a bus would engage in a conversation while they were waiting. People
who traveled the same routes every day might develop friendships along the way.
This situation does not happen anymore. Today when people are waiting for a bus,
they just pull out their cell phones and speak with old friends, missing out on
the opportunity to make new ones. In large cities, many people do not know their
neighbors, even though they may have lived in the same neighborhood for years.
As a society, we are beginning to lose the face-to-face contact that was such an
important part of our lives in the past.
Cell phones are a great asset in aiding in our every day lives. You should
remember, however, to hang up every once in a while and pay attention to the
world around you.

house.

home?"

"Little boy, who are you and what are you doing here?" "I am a volunteer to help
Grandpa Chen." "Oh, Grandpa Chen is here. In that small room!" As she spoke, she
pointed to a small room.
I walked to the place where my grandmother pointed, but what I saw was
Grandpa Chen busy in the kitchen, I called out, "Grandpa Chen." Grandpa Chen
turned around and smiled and glanced at me, I found Grandpa Chen As a disabled
person, it was incredible, so he quickly stepped forward and said, "Grandpa

you, but my body is still very strong." , I am really heartbroken for Grandpa
Chen.

dustpan and started cleaning. Grandpa saw that I was great.

poor or rich, healthy or disabled, as long as they help others, they will be
happy and others will be happy too. Helping others is just a thought. Its
easier said than done. It takes courage and strength to help others,
perseverance and perseverance to be a truly qualified volunteer!

Chinese culture, which is challenged or facing extinction because of the
developing society and changing lifestyle. Besides, China is nationwide sparing
no efforts to do it.
The protection of national and folk culture is of great significance to
Chinese cultural diversity and also to the harmonious development between local
economic and social development. It is reported that the Guangdong government
pays special attention to protecting Chaoju(潮剧), a local drama born in Chaozhou
in the eastern Guangdong province.
In my opinion, some measures should be taken to protect traditional culture
effectively. To start with, we should make a law to regulate the society’s
performance. Besides, we should draw more people’s attention to it, for the more
they know about the importance of culture protection, the stronger the support
we can get from the public.
In a word, it is high time for us to treasure and develop our own valuable
culture.

篇20:茶文化英语作文高5
全文共 1909 字
+ 加入清单The Chinese people, in their drinking of tea, place much significance on
the act of savoring. Savoring tea is not only a way to discern good tea from
mediocre tea, but also how people take delight in their reverie and in
tea-drinking itself. Snatching a bit of leisure from a busy schedule, making a
kettle of strong tea, securing a serene space, and serving and drinking tea by
yourself can help banish fatigue and frustration, improve your thinking ability
and inspire you with enthusiasm. You may also imbibe it slowly in small sips to
appreciate the subtle allure of tea-drinking, until your spirits soar up and up
into a sublime aesthetic realm. Buildings, gardens, ornaments and tea sets are
the elements that form the ambience for savoring tea. A tranquil, refreshing,
comfortable and neat locale is certainly desirable for drinking tea. Chinese
gardens are well known in the world and beautiful Chinese landscapes are too
numerous to count. Teahouses tucked away in gardens and nestled beside the
natural beauty of mountains and rivers are enchanting places of repose for
people to rest and recreate themselves.China is a country with a time-honored
civilization and a land of ceremony and decorum. Whenever guests visit, it is
necessary to make and serve tea to them. Before serving tea, you may ask them
for their preferences as to what kind of tea they fancy and serve them the tea
in the most appropriate teacups. In the course of serving tea, the host should
take careful note of how much water is remaining in the cups and in the kettle.
Usually, if the tea is made in a teacup, boiling water should be added after
half of the cup has been consumed; and thus the cup is kept filled so that the
tea retains the same bouquet and remains pleasantly warm throughout the entire
course of tea-drinking. Snacks, sweets and other dishes may be served at tea
time to complement the fragrance of the tea and to allay ones hunger.
