531高中英语作文:我的妈妈
全文共 3251 字
+ 加入清单导语:每个人都有自己的妈妈,你喜欢你的妈妈吗?下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的优秀英语作文,欢迎阅读与借鉴,谢谢!
My mother has no idea that her ninetieth birthday is coming up. She has no notion of the time of day, the day of the week. the season of the year, the year of the century. No notion of the approaching millennium. And no idea any longer, who I am. Her forgetting of me happened just a few months ago, after I had been traveling for more than a month and hadnt been to see her. When I came back, she asked me if I were her niece, l said no, I was her daughter. "Does that mean I had you?" she asked. 1 said yes. "Where was I when l had you?" she asked me. I told her she was in a hospital in Far Rockaway. New York. "So much has happened to me in my life." she said "You cant expect me to remember everything."
My mother was once a beautiful woman, but all her teeth are gone now. Toothless. No woman can be considered beautiful. Whenever I visit her in the nursing home, she is sitting at the table in the common dining room, her head in her hands, rocking. Medication has eased her anxiety, but nothing moves her from her stupor except occasional moments of fear, too deep for medication. This is a room that has no windows, that lets in no light, in which an overlarge TV is constantly blaring, sending images that no one looks at where the floors are beige tiles, the walls cream colored at the bottom, papered halfway up with a pattern of nearly invisible grayish leaves. Many of the residents sit staring, slack-jawed, open mouthed. I find it impossible to imagine what they might be looking at.
When I walk into the dining room on the day of my mothers birthday, I see that she has already been served lunch. The staff has forgotten to hold it back. Though I told them a week ago that I would be providing lunch. She hasn’t touched anything on her tray except a piece of carrot cake, which she holds in her hands. The icing is smeared on her hands and face. I dont want my friends to see her smeared with icing, so I wet a paper towel and wipe her. This fills me with a terrible tenderness, recalling, as it does. a gesture I have performed for my children. As I wipe my mothers face, I see that her skin is still beautiful I hold her chin in my hand and kiss her forehead. I tell her its her birthday, that shes ninety years old. "How did that happen?" she asks. "I cant understand how that could happen."
l have brought her a bouquet of crimson, yellow, and salmon-pink snapdragons. She likes the flowers very much. She likes the name. "Snapdragons. It seems like an animal thats going to bite inc. But its not an animal, its a plant. Thats a funny thing,"
I have bought food that I hope will please my mother, and that will be easy for her to eat: orzo salad with little pieces of crayfish cut into it, potato salad, small chunks of marinated tomatoes. I have bought paper plates with a rust-colored background, upon which are painted yellow and gold flowers and blue leaves.
My friends Nola and Gary come for my mothers birthday. When we are about to leave, I tell my mother that Im going on vacation, mat I wont see her for three weeks, that 1 am going to the sea. "How will I stand that, how will I stand thats she says, but I know that a minute after I’m gone shell forget I was there.

篇10:吃年夜饭高中英语
全文共 604 字
+ 加入清单俗话说:爆竹声中一岁除,春风送暖入屠苏。千门万户瞳瞳日,总把新桃换旧符。
一年只有一次,最热闹的也就是那个晚上,我盼望着那个晚上的到来,迎之后那个迷人的夜晚。
直到那个晚上的到来,给我带来了许多的快乐和乐趣。为了今年的“年夜大餐”,母亲和奶奶在除夕的前两天就开始“动工”了。因为母亲眼中的年夜饭是团圆饭,预示着新一年的开始,一切都要十全十美,不能有半点马虎。每到这时候,我便会言语谨慎,生怕不经意间说出什么不中听的或是不吉利的话,招来母亲的责骂。对我家而言,这一年一度的年夜饭已经不只是一顿简单的晚餐,更是全家都要参与的仪式。所以在物质生活极大丰富的这天,我们仍然保留了在家中吃年夜饭的习惯。
我家的年夜饭讲究分工合作,各司其责。母亲是总设计师,负责人员调度。父亲帮母亲打小工,负责买配菜,买调料,拿油盐酱醋、锅碗瓢盆;奶奶是总设计师的得力助手;爷爷则是烹饪几个他的拿手菜;我嘛,就负责“偷吃”,在有菜做好了后,我总以尝尝菜的咸淡,来偷吃做好的菜。
晚上七点整,我们的午夜大餐正式开始,一盘盘色香味俱全、香喷喷的饭菜端上桌来,我看得眼花缭乱。开饭喽!我狼吞虎咽的把这美味佳肴往嘴里塞。妈妈把果汁和红酒拿出来,倒在高脚杯里。我端起酒杯祝愿爸爸和妈妈———身体健康,笑口常开,工作顺利;祝愿爷爷奶奶——福如东海,寿比南山。
我家不仅仅年夜大餐丰盛,家庭也那么幸,我既为有一个会做美食的的妈妈感到骄傲,也为有一个美满的家庭。

+ 加入清单What is your favorite kind of music? Do you like jazz, popular music,
classical music, folk songs, blues, and so on? In high school I took one course
called music appreciation which I greatly enjoyed. This was not to learn how to
play a specific instrument but to learn how to read and listen to music as an
art form. We read the stories about the lives of many composers and the history
of the musical instruments themselves. Sometimes we listened to tapes at the
language laboratory, or concerts. Music is sometimes called a universal
language. A composer who cannot speak a single word of our language can make us
feel joy and pride, exaltation and despair, peace and mystery through his
music.

First, health is the secret of happiness (the key to happiness). Only a strong man can enjoy the pleasure of life.
Secondly, happiness consists in contentment. A man who is dissatisfied with his present condition is always in distress.

全文共 1157 字
+ 加入清单The Dragon Boat Festival, also called Double Fifth Festival, is celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth moon of the lunar calendar. It is one of the most important Chinese festivals, the other two being the Autumn Moon Festival and Chinese New Year。
The origin of this summer festival centers around a scholarly government official named Chu Yuan. He was a good and respected man, but because of the misdeeds of jealous rivals he eventually fell into disfavor in the emperors court。
Unable to regain the respect of the emperor, in his sorrow Chu Yuan threw himself into the Mi Low river. Because of their admiration for Chu Yuan, the local people living adjacent to the Mi Lo River rushed into their boats to search for him while throwing rice into the waters to appease the river dragons。
Although they were unable to find Chu Yuan, their efforts are still commemorated today during the Dragon Boat Festival。
端午节,又称为五五节,因为端午节是在农历的五月五日,是三个重要的中国节庆之一,其他两个分别是中秋节和农历新年。
这个节日的由来是古代中国有一位博学多闻的官吏屈原,他是一位爱民而且又受到尊崇的官吏,但是由於一位充满嫉妒的官吏陷害,从此在朝廷中被皇帝所冷落。由於无法获得皇帝的重视,屈原在忧郁的情况下投汨罗江自尽。
由於对屈原的爱戴,汨罗江畔的居民匆忙的划船在江内寻找屈原,并且将米丢入汨罗江中,以平息汨罗江中的蛟龙。即使他们当时并没有找到屈原,但是他们的行为,直到今天在端午节的时候,仍然被人们传颂纪念着。

+ 加入清单Oceans becoming more acidicThe worlds oceans are slowly getting more acidic, say scientists.The researchers from California say the change is taking place in response to higher levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.The lowering of the waters pH value is not great at the moment but could pose a serious threat to current marine life if it continues, they warn.Ken Caldeira and Michael Wickett, from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, report their concerns in the journal Nature.Increasing use of fossil fuels means more carbon dioxide is going into the air, and most of it will eventually be absorbed by seawater.
Once in the water, it reacts to form carbonic acid.Scientists believe that the oceans have already become slightly more acidic over the last century.But these researchers have tried to predict what will happen in the future by combining what we know about the history of the oceans with computer models of climate change."This level of acidity will get much more extreme in the future if we continue releasing CO2 into the atmosphere," said Dr Caldeira."And we predicted amounts of future acidity that exceed anything we saw over the last several hundred million years, apart from perhaps after rare catastrophic events such as asteroid impacts."If carbon dioxide release continues unabated, ocean pH could be reduced by as much as 0.77 units, the authors warn.It is not absolutely clear what that means for marine life, however.
Most organisms live near the surface, where the greatest pH change would be expected to occur, but deep-ocean lifeforms may be more sensitive to pH changes.Coral reefs and other organisms whose skeletons or shells contain calcium carbonate may be particularly affected, the team speculate. They could find it much more difficult to build these structures in water with a lower pH.In recent years some people have suggested deliberately storing carbon dioxide from power stations in the deep ocean as a way of curbing global warming.But Dr Caldeira said that such a strategy should now be re-considered."Previously, most experts had looked at ocean absorption of carbon dioxide as a good thing - because in releasing CO2 into the atmosphere we warm the planet; and when CO2 is absorbed by the ocean, it reduces the amount of greenhouse warming.
篇17:关于网购英语作文高中
全文共 1394 字
+ 加入清单With the development of Internet, more and more people tend to shop on the
Internet. Online shopping has provided some benefits for us, but it also has
some disadvantages at the same time.
For one thing, online shopping has brought some convenience for consumers.
Instead of going one shop to another, people can choose and buy all kinds of
commodities they like as long as they click the mouse gently. This is not only a
better choice for the old who do not have enough energy to go outside but also a
great convenience for those who have no time to go shopping in person. In
addition, consumers have more choices and can do some comparison when they are
shopping on the Internet. They can glance over various commodities in all
shapes, sizes and colors and decided to buy or not. Furthermore, online shopping
has made a great contribution to the development of express delivery
industry.
However, for another, shopping on the Internet also has some shortcomings.
Firstly, those who shop on the Internet can’t try the goods before they buy.
Sometimes, the real goods are not the same as the goods they see on the
Internet. Secondly, some shops on the Internet are dishonest and they would not
deliver the goods after paying. And if this situation happens, the consumers
would find nowhere to complain and never pull out the money any longer.
Therefore, we should pay more attention when shopping on the Internet.

In the evening, the families usually have pudding, sandwiches, apple pies
and some other desserts for dinner. After supper, the families always sing and

chimney. Now the children no longer believe in Father Christmas, but they still
hang up their stockings, because their parents will fill them with presents.
