我的家庭充满着欢乐开心，但有时也充满着失望、悲伤。

我的家在一个叫运卜屯的大村庄，那里的人和蔼善良，都是很不错的。

我的家里一共有五个人：妈妈、爸爸、姐姐、弟弟，还有我。

我的妈妈是个很漂亮大方的人。她有着典型的瓜子脸和一双充满母爱的眼睛。我要送给妈妈一句诗：慈母手中线，游子身上衣。

爸爸的身躯很胖，他就像一棵庞大的树，而我们是一棵小草。爸爸总是我为我们遮风挡雨，怀里总是搂着我们，我们感到很温暖，这可真是父爱如山。

姐姐和弟弟，我也就不多说了，我们仨整天打打闹闹，说白了就是某种原因来打的，抢东西、玩电脑、买东西……唉，争来争去也都争累了，姐姐去上了大学，弟弟也转学去了别的学校。最近，我还有点想他们了。不知是哪种原因，导致了这份怀念。

尽管如此，爸爸妈妈还是很爱我们。爸爸时不时领着我们去玩，妈妈也给我们买很多的东西。姐姐尽管在外面，但还是像以前一样给我们买衣服寄到家里来。

我时时刻刻都爱着这个家和这些人。如果能再到人间生活一遍，我还愿意让他们成为我的家人。

Things about Me

Iam Andrea。Perhaps the word "average" can best describe me。 I am of average height， average weight and of average complexion。 I have a thin face， double-lid eyes and a pointed nose。My hair is black， short and straight。I have never worn my hair long。I look like both my mother and

my father， but I have inherited their best parts。

lam a teacher， and I like my job。 I believe her or his students can sometimes teach a teacher。 Actually I have learnt a lot from my own teaching experience and my students。 One particularly good thing about being a teacher is that I am learning something new each day and thus XXX progress each day。 This is wonderful。 Of course the income is modest， but on the other hand， quite stable。 I keep growing all the time。 I find great rewards both monetarily and mentally。

I have many hobbies: reading books， raising pets， XXX dresses， etc。 I like volleyball very much， but I can＇t play it very often， because it is a team sport。 It is difficult to get enough people to play volleyball with me。 It＇s a shame。 I derive great pleasure out of my hobbies。

Generally speaking， I am open， honest and easy-going。 I hate hypocrisy and injustice。 Fairness is very important to me。 I try to be fair in everything I do。 I have great appreciation for physical and spiritual independence。 I am a bit disorganized and impatient sometimes。

I don＇t have many friends， but I do have a few。 I have both male and female friends。 We do sports together， go shopping together; and we exchange our views and ideas and share happiness and sadness。 Of course we help each other if necessary。 I always consider myself a lucky person。 I am lucky in my family， I am lucky in my career， I am lucky in my friendship， I am lucky in many things。 In one word， I am lucky in life。 I am really grateful for all these。

自我介绍

我叫安德里亚。也许“平凡”一词最能形容我。我中等身材，不胖也不瘦，不白也不黑。我有一张瘦削的脸，双眼皮，翘鼻子，我乌黑的头发又短又直，我从未留过长发。我长得既像妈妈又像爸爸，不过我继承了他们的优点。

我现在是一名教师，我热爱我的工作。我认为，一个老师有时也能从他(她)的学生那儿学到知识。事实上，从我的教书经历，从我的学生们那里，我学到了许多许多。当老师特别好的一点就是每天我都在学习新的东西，并因此而每天取得进步。这真是棒极了。当然，收入并不高。然而，换个角度看，收入却是相当稳定的。我一直都在不断进步成长，在金钱方面与精神方面我都得到丰厚的回报。

我的兴趣爱好广泛，比如：读书，养宠物，制作服装，等等。虽然我非常喜欢打排球，但是由于这是一项团队运动，我不能经常去打。要找到足够多的人同我一起打排球是很难的。真遗憾!兴趣爱好给我带来无穷的乐趣。

总的说来，我是一个外向、诚实而随和的人。我对任何虚伪和不公正都深恶痛绝。我极为珍视公平公正，对于所做的每一件事，我都尽力做到公平。我崇尚物质上和精神上的独立。不过，我有那么一点儿不善计划，有时还会急躁、没耐性。

我朋友不多，却颇有几个相知好友，其中有男性也有女性。我和朋友们一起进行体育运动；一起逛街购物。我们交换各自的观点看法，共享欢乐，分担忧愁。当然，如若需要，我们必定相互帮助。我一直都觉得自己是一个幸运的人。在家庭

方面、在事业上、在交友方面、在许许多多方面，我都是幸运的。总之，我的生活是幸运的，我真的非常感激这一切的一切。

[一个幸福的家庭英文作文

我家六口人，各有各的爱好，说出来，真能笑掉你的牙。

爱喝酒的是爷爷。他把我连沾都不敢沾的白酒当做饮料喝。前几天，爸爸刚买了一大瓶酒，今天就成了“肚中空”。家里人都怕他酒喝多了，对身体不好。可是尽管我们磨破了嘴唇，费尽了心机，也拿他没办法。

最爱唠唠叨叨的是奶奶。有一次，我和爷爷上太原去看二姑，奶奶不知多少遍地吩咐：“鸡蛋装好了吗？路上可要小心点。”我不耐烦地说：“好了！好了！我早都背下来了。”可奶奶还是不放心地说：“傻孩子，不管背过没背过，还是小心点的好。”

妈妈最爱跳舞。录音机里一放舞曲，她的身子就不由得摆动起来了。过新年的时候，妈妈和爸爸两个跳得真带劲，胳膊一上一下，步伐很有节奏。假如你看了，准会不由自主地跟他们一起跳。

爸爸是个足球迷。星期日他一回到家，就打开电视机看足球赛，奶奶叫换个台，爸爸总是装没听见，急得奶奶唠唠叨叨地说：“那么多的人把一个球踢来踢去的，有什么好看的？”

爱看书的我。我每天都缠着妈妈买书。过生日的时候妈妈给我买了几本书，作为生日礼物，我见书如见宝，高兴得一蹦三尺高。

还有淘气的弟弟。他有时竟淘气得闹出笑话。有一次，奶奶买了几只小鸡，弟弟怕小鸡乱跑，把小鸡装在袋子里，结果小鸡全都活活地给闷死了。

我的家庭成员性格不同，爱好不同，生活在一起却互相关心，互相爱护。我为生活在这样的家感到幸福。

[介绍我的家庭成员作文

我的家是我最熟悉而又感到最温馨的地方，里面充满了欢声笑语，偶尔也会有烦恼的事情。现在，让我来为你介绍一下我的家庭成员吧！

我们家的“足球迷”——爸爸，不管什么时间有足球比赛，爸爸总是最先知道。比赛那天他总是第一个抢到电视，然后坐在沙发上，挺着他那西瓜似的圆肚子，津津有味地看着，时常会大声地欢呼，有时也会跟着球员着急，恨不得他自己进去踢。这常常使我和妈妈哭笑不得。我家最爱唠叨的人——妈妈，我常听大人说：“人老了就话多。”可我妈妈才35岁就唠唠叨叨：从我上学哪天起，妈妈就每天早上都要嘱咐一番：“上课要注意听讲，不要说话，不要搞小动作，不要……放学后快点回家，不要在路上玩，走路时要看左右的车，不要跟陌生人说话，不许跟陌生人走……”总是说个没完没了。我真不明白，我年轻的妈妈哪来那么多话；我家笑声的来源——我。我活波可爱，是爸爸妈妈的开心果。我特别爱笑，许多别人认为不足为笑的小事都会引起我的捧腹大笑。爸爸妈妈在饭桌上的任何话题都有可能引起我的“狂笑”。相声、小品更会使我笑的喘不过气来。为此，妈妈教训过我，让我“笑不露齿”，要像淑女，可我无法改掉我的天性。

这就是我的可亲可爱家人，我们生活在一起，互相关心，互相爱护。我能生活在这样的一个家庭里，真是感到幸福呀！

在我家里，有一个非常幽默的爸爸，有一个关心、教育我的妈妈，还有一个活泼可爱的我。

我爸爸的工作很辛苦，每隔三天才回来一次，说实话，在他不在家的时候，家里总是缺少一份欢乐的笑声。

但是他把工作当做生活的追求，认真的对待每一份工作。从来不计较一些小事，他常常用一些生活的例子来教育我怎样做人，他还常常用一些笑话来逗我和妈妈开心，在我闷闷不乐的时候会用一些开心的事情让我高兴起来。他 还 非 常勤劳，什么事都是他抢在前面，可是他有些时候又非常懒，每到星期天他都会睡到9：30才起床，而且还要让我们叫醒他，所以我爸爸是一个幽默、勤劳而又懒的人。

我妈妈是一名家庭主妇，她每天为我们打扫卫生、做饭、洗衣服......都是她包了，但她从来不嫌累，认真的干这些家务活，还特别关心我。作业和书写方面都要求的非常严格，数学是她的强项，所以她总是给我布置一些奥数题，还常常教我用x等式、方程组那些复杂的式子来做，是让我扩充知识面。觉得对我一生都有用，所以她才肯用这些难度大的知识让我进行训练。她的脾气很大，动不动就发火，但是她能体会到我是怎样的心情，所以我们常常沟通，来发现对方的不足。这就是我妈妈，严格又关心我的人。

这就是我的家，温馨而和睦的“家”。

[空中乘务专业的英文自我介绍

International Womens Day (8 March) is an occasion marked by womens groups around the world. This date is also commemorated at the United Nations and is designated in many countries as a national holiday. When women on all continents, often divided by national boundaries and by ethnic, linguistic, cultural, economic and political differences, come together to celebrate their Day, they can look back to a tradition that represents at least nine decades of struggle for equality, justice, peace and development.

International Womens Day is the story of ordinary women as makers of history; it is rooted in the centuries-old struggle of women to participate in society on an equal footing with men. In ancient Greece, Lysistrata initiated a sexual strike against men in order to end war; during the French Revolution, Parisian women calling for "liberty, equality, fraternity" marched on Versailles to demand womens suffrage.

The idea of an International Womens Day first arose at the turn of the century, which in the industrialized world was a period of expansion and turbulence, booming population growth and radical ideologies. Following is a brief chronology of the most important events:

1909

In accordance with a declaration by the Socialist Party of America, the first National Womans Day was observed across the United States on 28 February. Women continued to celebrate it on the last Sunday of that month through 1913.

1910

The Socialist International, meeting in Copenhagen, established a Womens Day, international in character, to honour the movement for womens rights and to assist in achieving universal suffrage for women. The proposal was greeted with unanimous approval by the conference of over 100 women from 17 countries, which included the first three women elected to the Finnish parliament. No fixed date was selected for the observance.

1911

As a result of the decision taken at Copenhagen the previous year, International Womens Day was marked for the first time (19 March) in Austria, Denmark, Germany and Switzerland, where more than one million women and men attended rallies. In addition to the right to vote and to hold public office, they demanded the right to work, to vocational training and to an end to discrimination on the job.

Less than a week later, on 25 March, the tragic Triangle Fire in New York City took the lives of more than 140 working girls, most of them Italian and Jewish immigrants. This event had a significant impact on labour legislation in the United States, and the working conditions leading up to the disaster were invoked during subsequent observances of International Womens Day.

1913-1914

As part of the peace movement brewing on the eve of World War I, Russian women observed their first International Womens Day on the last Sunday in February 1913. Elsewhere in Europe, on or around 8 March of the following year, women held rallies either to protest the war or to express solidarity with their sisters.

1917

With 2 million Russian soldiers dead in the war, Russian women again chose the last Sunday in February to strike for "bread and peace". Political leaders opposed the timing of the strike, but the women went on anyway. The rest is history: Four days later the Czar was forced to abdicate and the provisional Government granted women the right to vote. That historic Sunday fell on 23 February on the Julian calendar then in use in Russia, but on 8 March on the Gregorian calendar in use elsewhere.

Since those early years, International Womens Day has assumed a new global dimension for women in developed and developing countries alike. The growing international womens movement, which has been strengthened by four global United Nations womens conferences, has helped make the commemoration a rallying point for coordinated efforts to demand womens rights and participation in the political and economic process. Increasingly, International Womens Day is a time to reflect on progress made, to call for change and to celebrate acts of courage and determination by ordinary women who have played an extraordinary role in the history of womens rights.

The Role of the United Nations

Few causes promoted by the United Nations have generated more intense and widespread support than the campaign to promote and protect the equal rights of women. The Charter of the United Nations, signed in San Francisco in 1945, was the first international agreement to proclaim gender equality as a fundamental human right. Since then, the Organization has helped create a historic legacy of internationally agreed strategies, standards, programmes and goals to advance the status of women worldwide.

Over the years, United Nations action for the advancement of women has taken four clear directions: promotion of legal measures; mobilization of public opinion and international action; training and research, including the compilation of gender desegregated statistics; and direct assistance to disadvantaged groups. Today a central organizing principle of the work of the United Nations is that no enduring solution to societys most threatening social, economic and political problems can be found without the full participation, and the full empowerment, of the worlds women.

范本二

Some 15,000 women marched through New York City in 1908 demanding shorter hours, better pay and voting rights。 A hundred year on, the pertinence of this event is honored through IWD’s 2008 global theme ‘Shaping Progress’.

1908年，一万五千名妇女走上纽约街头，这缩短工作时间、提高工资待遇、享有选举权游行示威。100年之后，今年国际妇女节的主题是“塑造进步”

In just three years, 2011 will see IWD’s Centenary – 100 years of women’s united action for global equality and change. Organizations around the world have already commenced planning fo r their IWD Centenary celebrations.

三年后将是国际妇女节100周年，也是各为妇女为全球平等和改变共同行动100周年。世界各地有关组织已经开始为国际妇女节百年华诞张罗庆典。

The first International Women’s Day was launched on 8 March 1911 in Copenhagen by Clara Zetkin, Leader of the ‘Women’s Office’ for the Social Democratic Party in Germany.From joozone.com. www.en369.cn/zhongkao/2011/0929/20291.html

第一个国际妇女节于1911年3月8日，由德国社会民主党“妇女办公室”领导人克拉拉。蔡特金发动，在哥本哈根举行。

In 1991, a handful of men in Canada launched the “white ribbon” campaign, which delivers the message that men are opposed to some other men’s violence against women.
