范文二:文明旅游
有些旅游景点的文物景观遭到了严重的破坏,致使最近文明旅游的倡议越来越受重视,因此就“游客可付费在仿造长城上涂写留言”发表看法。
内容包括:(1)谈谈对某些人喜欢在旅游景点随便涂鸦留言的看法;
(2)对专门修一段仿造城墙让游客付高价留言的做法你是赞成还是反对,并简要陈述你的理由。
It is reported that tourists to China’s Great Wall can now leave their mark on a fake(伪造的) wall recently built near the real wall in Badaling if they pay 999 yuan.
In China, many visitors have the hobby of carving graffiti on places of interest, especially on some famous cultural relics. Last year I went to the Great Wall and found many people had left names and ugly words on the Wall, which destroys many historic bricks. In my opinion, such people should feel ashamed of leaving their marks on the great relics which were created by our ancestors.
So personally, I quite agree with this brilliant project though it has caused criticism from some people. The Great Wall would be ruined one day if we didn’t take any steps to protect it. The fake wall is a really good idea because it will protect our relics as well as making profits from the project

篇4:中考英语作文素材:知识和经验
全文共 1992 字
+ 加入清单写作题目 Knowledge or Experience
Directions: You are allowed 40 minutes to write an essay no less than 150 words on the following topic.
1.some emphasize book knowledge
2.others stress practical experience
3.which one is more important? Give your reasons to illustrate your opinion.
范文:
Which is more important in life, knowledge from the books you read, or personal experience you gain in reality? The answer may vary from person to person. The young, educated may emphasize the former, and the old may stress the later. But in my opinion, they are of the same importance.
Experience is priceless. How to become an efficient secretary? How to prepare for your first child to come into the world? There is so much experience we need in careers, in life and even in academic studies. It helps one deal with the problems with ease and confidence. Especially activities and to accumulate experience of different kinds is more crucial.
Experience, however, is limited in terms of time and space. For one thing, it is impossible for anyone to experience all the important events and meet all the famous people. For another, as the speed with which skills are obsolete and new problems crop up is unprecedented because of the fast development of society, experience is far less adequate. Depending too much on it only leads to narrow-mindedness and prejudice.
One way to compensate for it is to read books. Books of various kinds can bring us almost unlimited additional experience. From books you can not only trace back to the wisdom of our antecedents, but keep up with the latest developments of science and technology. To be sure, its secondhand experience. But it is the ideal supplement to our own limited experience. Few of us can travel around the world, or live long beyond one hundred years, but all of us can live many lives by reading books.
Both book knowledge and personal experience are essential. While experience makes one more resourceful, book knowledge makes one more learned.

The water is very clean, I can even see the fish and the mountain has many green trees. But I like the morning best, because the air is very fresh and there are voices from nature. The frogs and other animals always are calling in the morning, I like listening to their voices, they sound like the songs for me. What’s more, the fog makes the country look like the wonderland, I will never know who will come to me until it is close to me, I like this mysterious feeling.
我的家乡是个美丽的地方,它在乡村,由于它远离城市,因此那里的环境很自然。水很清澈,我几乎能看到鱼,山上有很多绿油油的树。但是我最喜欢早上的时候,因为空气很清新,还有很多来自大自然的声音。青蛙和其它动物总是在早上叫,我喜欢听到他们的声音,听起来像在为我歌唱。而且,雾气让整个乡村看起来像仙境一样,我永远都不知道谁向我走来直到它走进我,我喜欢这样神秘的感觉。
篇18:从阅读练习中学写作之素材篇

+ 加入清单导语:我们阅读练习的文章当中不仅能够积累与学习优美的语言,同时还能够在素材的积累及运用上也有所借鉴,下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的作文素材,欢迎阅读与借鉴,谢谢!
从我们阅读练习的文章当中不仅能够积累与学习优美的语言,同时还能够在素材的积累及运用上也有所借鉴,教师讲授写作方法的时候,强调作文中要以小见大,这也是在阅读练习中能够学习到的,此处以两个例子做一说明。
如毕淑敏的一篇文章《青虫之爱》(秋季班第一堂课),这篇文章要表达的是母爱的主题,然而全文是围绕着如何克服恐惧虫子的心理来展开的。这篇文章就告诉我们的同学,那些非常抽象的情感是可以表现在一些非常细微的事物上的,而这个事物可能是非常美好,让你感觉到心生向往的事物,也有可能是一个非常恐怖的事物。选择后者作为情感的承载体更能显示出选材的独特性。因为正是在面对这个恐怖事物的过程中,你真正明白了那份沉甸甸的情感,不管是亲情也好,友情也罢。比如一个同学非常怕黑,但是某一天他爸爸出差之后,他突然发现自己的妈妈也非常怕黑,此时他认为自己应该作为一个男子汉来让妈妈克服这个心理,结果那一天他表现得非常地勇敢,怕黑的心理也从此销声匿迹了。这是很多人会碰到的事情,而很少人会想到望着方面写,或者《青虫之爱》这篇文章可以给大家一些借鉴。
再如王众盛的《嚼一片苹果皮》,这里将母爱凝聚在一片苹果皮上,当然这里描写的是经济困难时期的事情,现在的孩子可能不会再遇见这样的事。但是凝聚在苹果皮上的亲情,现在仍旧是可以看到的。它表现在母亲给你削苹果的过程当中,在那个过程当中,母爱丝丝缕缕地存在。
最后,推荐一篇2010年北京中考满分作文,题为《凝聚》,主要是母子二人如何希望能够跟对方一起分享一个芒果,而最终芒果坏掉。但这个自始自终萦绕全文的芒果,无疑是亲情的凝聚。这是初中生的写作是有启示的。

篇20:校园安全事件英语作文素材
全文共 1738 字
+ 加入清单On Friday, we learned that more than two dozen people were killed when a gunman opened fire in an elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut.
Most of those who died were just young children with their whole lives ahead of them. And every parent in America has a heart heavy with hurt.
Among the fallen were also teachers – men and women who devoted their lives to helping our children fulfill their dreams.
So our hearts are broken today. We grieve for the families of those we lost. And we keep in our prayers the parents of those who survived. Because as blessed as they are to have their children home, they know that their child’s innocence has been torn away far too early.
As a nation, we have endured far too many of these tragedies in the last few years. An elementary school in Newtown. A shopping mall in Oregon. A house of worship in Wisconsin. A movie theater in Colorado. Countless street corners in places like Chicago and Philadelphia. Any of these neighborhoods could be our own. So we have to come together and we are gonna take meaningful action to prevent more
tragedies like this from happening. Regardless of the politics.
This weekend, Michelle and I are doing what I know every parent is doing – holding our children as close as we can and reminding them how much we love them.
There are families in Connecticut who can’t do that today. And they need all of us right now. Because while nothing can take the place of a lost child or loved one, all of us can extend a hand to those in need – to remind them that we are there for them; that we are praying for them; and that the love they felt for those they lost endures not just in their own memories, but also in their communities, and their country.
Thank you.
