导语：几个世纪以来，人们就幻想，有一天也有智慧的机器能像人类工作和忠实的仆人。今天，这个梦想已经在许多领域由于研究人工智能的迅速发展成真。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!

Intelligent machines such as robots are increasingly being used.They can do many things that used to be done by human.Discuss the benefits and dangers.

For centuriespeople have fantasized that someday machines could have intelligence like mankind and work as faithful servants.Today this dream has come true in many fields thanks to rapid development in artificial intelligence research.Wonderful as this seemsmachines have problems.

To begin withpeople lose jobs when machines take their placesespecially in the mass production industry such as automobile business.In factories of the famous car company Fordalmost every step of car making is done by giant robots that work faster with higher reliability and precision than human labor.Because of the adoption of robotsthousands of workers are put out of their old jobs and forced to make changes in their work.Even such changes create job opportunities because robots need people to take care of and operatethe number of new jobs is much smaller than that of lostthus causing huge pressure on the labor market and government.

People become less smart because of the wide use of machines in their life.Nowadays people need to use their brain less than they did in the past.Everything is programmed and the only thing we need to do is to push a button or throw on a switch.This has given us great convenience but made us lazier and less smart.Everyone has the awkward moment troubling with the spelling of a simple word when writing with a pen.But with a computerit will automatically proofread the spelling and grammar of your writing.So people become less concerned with learning things right.This is not a progress but a regress of our intelligence and culture.

But machines have many benefits that nobody can deny such as great work efficiency and low cost of mass production.The workload that could take months to finish by manual labor could be done flawlessly by robots in minutes.We have more purchasing power to enjoy a wider variety of goods and services because of the reduction of production costs with factories using machines.Other benefits include that machines could do dangerous jobs for people in high risk businesses like mining and construction.

To concludemachines have many merits that make our life easier and more convenientbut they have caused many problems such as undercutting our job opportunities and overdependence on machines.

【参考译文】

机器人等智能机器正越来越多地被使用，他们可以做许多人类以前做过的事情，讨论它的好处和危险.。

几个世纪以来，人们就幻想，有一天也有智慧的机器能像人类工作和忠实的仆人。今天，这个梦想已经在许多领域由于研究人工智能的迅速发展成真。这似乎是最棒的，机器有问题。

首先，人们失去工作的机器取代他们的位置的时候，特别是在大规模生产汽车行业等业务。在著名的福特汽车公司的汽车制造工厂，几乎每一步都是由巨型机器人工作速度比人力更高的可靠性和精度。由于采用机器人，把从他们的旧的工作和被迫改变他们的工作是成千上万的工人。即使这样的变化创造就业机会，因为机器人需要人照顾和操作，新增工作岗位的数量要小得多的流失，造成巨大的压力对劳动力市场和政府。

聪明的人越来越少，因为机器在他们的生活中广泛使用。现在人们需要使用他们的大脑比他们在过去所做的，一切都是程序，我们唯一需要做的就是按下一个按钮或扔在一个开关。这给了我们很大的便利，却使我们越来越不聪明的。每个人都有尴尬的时刻困扰的一个简单的单词拼写时用钢笔写。但有一个计算机，它会自动检查拼写和语法的写作。这样的人越来越少，学习有关的事情。这不是进步而是倒退了我们的智力和文化。

但是机器有许多好处，没有人可以否认大工作效率和低成本大批量生产。工作量可能需要几个月时间才能完成的体力劳动可以完美无缺的机器人以分钟完成。我们有了更多的购买力来享受更多种类的商品和服务的生产成本和工厂使用机器减少。其他的福利包括机器可以做高风险业务如采矿和建筑的人危险的工作。

最后，机器有许多优点，使我们的生活更轻松、更方便，但会引起如削弱我们的工作机会和过度依赖机器的许多问题。

Fast-food is becoming more and more popular in China, especially among children, teenagers and white-collars.

快餐在中国越来越流行，尤其在小孩子，年轻人和白领这些人群中。

There are several reasons for its popularity. First, its so convenient that saves a lot of time. Your just need to go into a fast-food restaurant, order your food, and your food is ready in time. Second, you can have many choices, various collocations of food. And you can eat it there or take it away. Third, the environment of fast-food restaurants is both clean and comfortable.

有很多理由可以解释它兴起的原因，首先，它很方便，能节省很多时间。你只需进入一家快餐店，然后点餐，你的食物就会按时送上来。其次，你有多种选择，他们提供各种各样的食物。你可以选择在那吃或带走。第三，快餐店的环境相对干净又舒适。

However, in terns of nutrition, it is usually not a balanced diet and low in nutritional value. Usually, fast-food is rich in sugar, so that regularly eat fast-food may cause obesity.

然而，从营养方面讲，快餐没有提供平衡的饮食，营养价值也很低。通常，快餐都是高糖的，所以经常吃快餐会导致肥胖。

Fast-food is only a good choice when you are in a hurry and turn to it once in a while. But for people, especially children, eat fast-food as little as possible.

当你时间比较赶时，偶尔吃一次快餐，还是不错的选择。但人们还是得尽量少吃，尤其是孩子。

【范文】

To witness immoral behavior in public, one need only visit the Beijing subway. I still remember the first time I took the Beijing subway. It was an early morning. I was in a hurry to go to school. When I was trying to get a ticket, I found a lot of people waiting in front of me, but nobody was in the line.

只要访问北京的地铁，就可以目睹公众场所的不道德行为。我还记得我第一次在北京做地铁。那是一个清晨。我急于去学校。当我努力买票的时候，我发现很多人在前面等着，但是没有一个人在排队。

Immoral behaviors in public initiate a series of problems. One of the most serious ones is that it may exert a negative impact on our sense of social responsibility. We will keep ignoring other people’s rights and feelings, and in turn, we too will be disrespected some day.

公众场所的不道德行为引发了一系列问题。其中最严重的是，它可能会对我们的社会责任感产生负面影响。我们将继续忽视其他人的权利和感情，反过来，我们也有一天会不被尊重的。

The reform of this phenomenon is certainly not easy. With an eye on practical implementation and cost effectiveness , I propose that society make it clear in every way that people who fail to respect the common good will be seriously punished. Stricter policies for this should be made to correct this phenomenon as soon as possible.

改变这一现象肯定是不容易的。从实际的执行和成本效益上看，我认为社会应该在各方面明确指出谁不尊重共同利益将受到严厉的惩罚。应该尽快制定这严厉的政策来纠正这一现象。

We all expect “A World without Thieves". Everyone shares the huge responsibility of demonstrating his or her justice at the proper time. Personal responsibility is vital to build a harmonious socialist society.

我们都希望“天下无贼”。所有人都该承担巨大的社会责任在适当的时候展示他或她的正义感。个人的责任是构建社会主义和谐社会的关键。

高考英语的满分作文 2008年奥运会和我 The 2008 Olympic Games, and me

The year of 2008 is getting closer and closer to us. We need to take actions from now on to prepare for the game. What we need to do most is to work on our disadvantages and shortcomings. As a student of Senior high, I can do my own part. Although I can’t transform our city into more a beautiful place on my own, I can help Beijing in small ways and encourage our classmates and people around me to follow my lead.

2008年离我们越来越近了，我们必须从现在开始采取行动，来为奥运会做准备。我们最需要做的，是克服缺点和改进不足之处。作为一名高中生，我们可以做我们力所能及的事情。虽然我不能光靠我自身的力量把这座城市妆点得更美丽，但我可以用自己的方式，来改变北京并且鼓励我的同学们和我周围的人和我一起做。

Let me take the environment for example, the atmosphere around Beijing is quite disappointing, factories and cars keep giving off exhausts into the air, we can hardly see the blue sky with our naked eyes, because the sky is covered with a thick layer of harmful substances. The sky is gray instead of blue. To our delight, the government has passed some laws of protecting the air, and we can do something useful, too. For example, whenever we go out for a long distance, ride the bike or take the buses and subways instead of taxis. You may not have a clue how it works. Of course doing that only by one person is far from enough, but we can let more people do that together. In that case the result may be more than we bargained for.

让我以环境为例，北京周围的大气环境比较令人失望，工厂和汽车不断地向空中排放废气，我们几乎用肉眼看不到蓝色的天空了。因为天空被一层厚厚的有害物质所覆盖， 天空成了灰色，而不是蓝色。令我们高兴的是，政府已经出台一些保护大气环境的相关法规。我们呢，也可以做一些有用的事情。比如说，每当我们要出远门的时候，骑自行车或乘坐公交车和地铁来代替出租车。你可能不知道这会有什么用。当然，只靠一个人的力量是远远不够的，但是我们可以让更多的人一起去做。 这样的话，结果才有可能收效显著。

Another thing we need to work on is our English skills. Teachers and parents often put great emphasis on our English skills especially listening and speaking. I want to be a volunteer in 2008, to be an interpreter. For now, I must do something helpful to improve my spoken English. Rome isn’t build in a day, so is English. It can’t be improved in a day or two. It takes time and energy. There are no shortcuts to improve your spoken English; the most productive way is to grab all opportunities around you to open your mouth. For instance, taking part in all kinds of English contests is a good way, you can meet some excellent contestants, and you can share the experience of learning and some good method of learning. I will keep participating in all English activities to polish up my English. I’m sure by the year of 2008, I will be able to master English well just as my mother tongue.

我们需要做的另一件事，是提高我们的英语水平。老师和家长总是着重强调要提高我们的英语能力，尤其是听力和口语方面，在2008年，我想成为一名志愿者，做一名口语翻译。现在我必须做一些有助于提高我口语的事情。“罗马非一日建成”，英语也不可以在一、两天内得到提高。它需要花费很多的时间和精力，在提高口语方面，没有捷径可走，最有效的方式就是抓住身边的机会开口讲英语。比如：参加各种英语竞赛是一种很好的方式。你会遇到些非常优秀的选手，与他们交流学习体会，借鉴好的学习方法。我将继续参加各类英语活动，来提高我的口语能力。我相信在2008年，我将会像掌握母语一样熟练掌握英语。

All in all, I’m sure that Beijing Olympic Games will be one of the most successful Games in history. I believe our long-cherished dream will be fulfilled in a perfect way! 总之，我相信， 2008北京奥运会将是有史以来最出色的奥运会之一，我坚信，我们长时间以来的梦想会以完美的方式得以实现。

英语试卷满分150分，作文25分，占试卷总分的六分之一，表面看来不是很多，但是这25分相对于其他题型却比较容易获得，因此作文的写作技巧和方法十分重要。

一、英语写作的重要性

1.英语写作有益于扩充词汇量

口语所使用的语言一般是比较简单和常用的。而在用英语写作时，所使用的语言则是多种多样的。从极简单到较复杂的语言都要使用，所使用的词汇和句型也比口语中使用的相对要多，这对英语词汇量的扩充有很大帮助。

2.英语写作训练有助于提高逻辑思考及分析能力

写一篇作文，不论长短，都需要妥善地组织材料，得出结论，作到重点突出，条理清楚。这样，在锻炼写作能力的同时，也锻炼了分析与处理问题的能力。

3.英语写作有助于提高使用英语的准确性

只要写一个句子，更不用说一段，一篇，就要力求拼写，用词，句法，标点等完全正确，而且与前后句紧密连贯。写和说不同，写好后可以检查修改，而一次修改就是一次提高。写得越多，语言使用就会越准确。

4.英语写作有助于阅读，听力，口语，翻译等能力的提高

自己知道写作的甘苦，对别人的写作技巧就会乐于学习。分析问题的能力提高了，听别人说话就会善于抓住要点。语言质量提高了，口语也会准确很多。

二、如何写好一篇英语作文

1.打好扎实的英语语言基础

要写好英语作文，首先必须掌握一定数量的英语单词。此外还得掌握好一定的英语语法知识。若有不太清楚的地方，应通过查阅语法书和词典来逐步解决，不能偷懒，随便乱写。

2.广泛进行英语阅读

专业作家的秘密之一就是：阅读，阅读，再阅读。阅读其他人的文章，并不是为了如法炮制，但我们可以把从其他作品中学到的东西融化到自己的文体和技巧中 去。当我们发现一段文章比自己能写出的任何东西好得多的时候，坐下来，对它进行反复研究琢磨。就同一题目，这位作者做了哪些我们不能做到的事情?模仿别人 技术上的长处，对写作来说极有益处。但仅靠阅读是不行的，因为它可以被用作不动笔的借口，还会成为一种医学专用剂。因此要记住：阅读是为了写作。

3.掌握一定的英语写作技巧

英语写作有许多技巧，如怎样选词，造句，怎样展开段落，各种体裁的英语作文应怎样布局谋篇等。只有对这些基本的写作技巧加以掌握，才能在英语写作时得心应手。

4.多观察多分析

写的时候首先考虑内容问题，问问自己写什么，并用英语来思考，那么在英语写作时，便不至于找不到话写。

5.多练习

常言道：Practice makes perfect.俗话亦说：文章读十篇，不如写一篇。大凡知名作家并不是一开始就写出了惊人之作。他们的作品都是在艰苦的写作实践中得到提高的。我们在学 习英语写作时也应多练，可采取写英文日记，周记，课文摘要等形式加以训练，也可找个writ—ing partner(写作伙伴)相互督促，相互学习，相互提高。

三、如何在重大考试中写好作文

1.合理分配时间

大学英语四六级短文写作题规定时间是30分钟，所以应首先保证写作时间。虽然写作题是考试的最后一题，但一定要确保写作题的时间不被其它题目挤占。然而 在多次四六级考试监考中，我们发现很多同学在前面部分花费太多时间，以致于只有十几分钟甚至几分钟来写作文，写的效果和得分情况可想而知。其实我们可以自 己拟订一个方案：首先，7分钟左右审题，构思，拟订提纲;其次，20分钟写作;最后，3分钟左右检查修改。

2.审题

审题是写作成功与否的重要因素之一。一定要留出约3分钟左右的时间审题，构思，打腹稿，“凡事预则立，不预则废。”然而不少考生由于没掌握好时间，一拿 到作文题，便匆匆下笔，没有构思，结果想到哪写到哪，往往离题千里，事倍功半。所以一定要在动笔之前花几分钟，认真审题，仔细寻找题目提供的信息(包括英 文，中文，图画，数字等)，然后对这些信息加以认真分析，弄清题意，确定中心思想。

3.拟写提纲

一般应试作文要围绕提纲，首先要明白提纲的作用，一是告诉你应写什么，二是为你的内容或思想规定写作顺序，三是告诉你每段的内容;四是帮助你自始至终紧密围绕规定的主题。在拟写提纲时，首先要定好文章分几段写，各段的中心是什么，要用什么细节才能说明所规定好的中心。

4.正式作文

在正式作文时，应按所列的提纲来进行。写作还应注意以下几点：首先，一定要下工夫写好每一段的主题句，尤其是第一段的主题句。A good beginning makes a good ending.主题句能否写好关系着阅卷人对你的作文的第一印象。高考作文是分档给分，即阅卷人根据总体印象给出某一档的分数，然后再在这一档上下进行微 调。其次，要尽量保持卷面整洁。因为作文是人工评卷，卷面干净整洁会给阅卷人很好的印象，对提高分数档次很有好处。然而很多考生不注意标点，语法及单词大 小写，经常写了又划，划了又写，从而使卷面很糟糕而影响得分。因此一定不要轻视卷面整洁这一点。第三，一定要写够字数。字数不够扣分是很严格的。但是也应 注意行文简明扼要，层次分明，切忌写一些与主题无关的话来凑字数。有的考生写得杂乱无章，篇幅过长，使阅卷人看得心烦，这也不可取。第四，一定要沉着应 战，保持平静的心理状态。不要因为作文是最后一题，离交卷时间近就不停看表，造成不必要的紧张。考试时良好的心理状态是正常发挥的必要保证。

总之，英语写作固然难，但由于其具有举足轻重的作用，所以我们应该给予重视。“功夫不负有心人”，相信只要我们树立必胜的信心，持之以恒地练习，就一定会取得成效。

I will try my best to write to you as often as possible to introduce you the Chinese culture. When you have an opportunity to come to China, Ill teach you how to speak Chinese and show you around some famous historical places of interest. Anyway, I am going to help you as much as I can. How do you think?

Im looking forward to your reply.

Yours sincerely,

2.俗语写作

【构思点拨】本题属于题目、提纲式作文，给出的要点虽然不多，但要求考生根据生活中亲身经历的一件事，说明一切成功来源于凡事早做规划，不断追求，辛勤劳作这个道理。因此要注意结合自己的经历，谈出自己对此的感受即可。

俗话说：早起的鸟儿有虫吃。请根据你生活中亲身经历的一件事，说明一切成功源于干凡事早做规划，不断追求，辛勤劳作。

【参考范文】

The early bird will catch worms

An old saying "The early bird will catch worms" reminds us that if people want to be successful and outstanding, they must plan ahead of time and make their efforts to overcome all the possible difficulties.

For example, the Chinese athletes excellent performance in 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver is definitely the result of their early planning and hard training. If they don t set the aim and word work, even though they have the best talents, they cant compete with others and get more medals.

Another case in point is my learning experience. I was good at English, but I couldnt pass the exam, for I wasnt prepared well before the examination. I had many things to solve at that time. As I met the complex things, I was at a loss. The reason was that I had no plan and involved in many things and didnt study more hard, so I failed.

In short, the saying shows us the important of planning, working hard and constantly trying.

有些高中生有时与同学发生这样或那样的矛盾或冲突，这些问题会给大家带来烦恼甚至影响大家的学习。请你用英语写一篇120词左右的短文，分析一下产生矛盾或冲突的原因，并谈谈应如何正确地与同学相处。 【参考范文】

Classmate conflicts among senior middle school students are often heard on campus over recent years. These conflicts make the excitement of campus life grow grey and have bad effects on both their living and learning.

Classmate conflicts often rise from daily tiny things such as space where to store books or notes. When personalities don’t mix, the specifics can tear classmates apart and sometimes even lead to serious conflicts. Besides, the fact that classmates hold different attitudes towards certain issues is another factor causing these conflicts.

Classmate conflicts are harmful and need to be settled. Though many people think that school discipline can soften the conflicts, I believe learning to be tolerant with each other can play a more constructive role because it teaches students flexibility and the art of compromise. Meanwhile, communication contributes to the solution to this problem since many of these conflicts result from misunderstanding.

Every time I eat buffet, I will eat as more as possible, because I think I have paid the money, Iwant to let the food deserve the money I pay.

每次我吃自助餐，我会尽可能地多吃，因为我已经给了钱，我就想吃食物值得我付的钱。

My stomach always gets too much food, I overeat the food and hurts my stomach.

我的胃总是撑了太多的食物，我吃太多了，伤到了胃。

Now I pay much attention to enjoy the food, I will tell myself not to eat so much full, the moneyI pay is to enjoy the food instead of hurting my stomach.

如今我比较注重享受食物，我会告诉自己不要吃得那么饱，我付的钱是为了享受食物而不是伤胃。

导语：经历了高考后的暑假你有想过做什么吗?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! ​

After the challenging College Entrance Examination, my anticipated summer holiday has begun. I will have a long winter holiday for almost three month. But I have already planned for it. Firstly, I will have a good rest at home and spend some time with my parents. I studied at school before, so I don’t have much time to company them. And then, I want to take a part-time job. I have graduated from senior school, and I think that a part-time job can help me being independent. I hope what I learn in school will be helpful to my new job. After earning some money, I want to have an after-graduation trip that I have been dreaming of for a very long time. My first choice is Xiamen, which is an attractive city. When the trip ends, it’s time for the college.

记叙文是以写人、记事、状物为主要内容，以叙述和描写为表达方式的文章。

以写人为主的记叙文，应该注意肖像描写、行动描写、语言描写、心理描写以及对细节的描写，考生应根据写作的要求，灵活掌握，突出重点。

以写事为主的记叙文，应该注意交待六要素(时间、地点、人物、事件、原因、结果)，应该注意描写先后顺序以及记事的相对完整，注意把握好事情的开始、发展、高潮及结局。

以与景为主的记叙文，应该注意景物的主要特征，景物描写的层次，以及人与物的情感交融。

记叙文写作要点如下：

1. 明确写作目的和叙述的中心思想，段落叙述始终围绕着主题而展开，避免空间的叙述和与主题无关的内容。

2. 一篇好叙述文需要直接或间接表达以下六个问题，即：when?该事发生的时间， where?该事发生的地点，who?人物角色是谁，what?发生的是什么事，why?该事发生的原因，以及how?事件的结果是如何造成的等等。

3. 一篇记叙文，无论长短如何都应该是一个完全独立的事实，因此，在下笔时必须明确：该从何处开始叙述，该在何处结束叙述，以及应该提供何种事实才能使叙述完整。

4. 写作顺序可以采用“顺叙”、“倒叙”和“穿插叙述”的方法，但初学者最好采用“顺叙”的方法进行训练，以情节发生时间的先后为序。

记叙文高考指引

记叙文是高考书面表达中比较常用的一种形式。

1)记叙文要写作者比较了解的人或事物。

2)仔细审题，看准题目要求，确定文章的主题。文章的内容、结构、层次及所用语言都应围绕主题进行。

3)具体详细地描述。要使文章有说服力，叙述就必须繁简疏密相间。详细具体的描写有助于读者对所叙述的人物或事件等有个深刻的印象。

4)写作时要避免句子单调、毫无花样。这就要求写作时长短句结合，注意衔接词的运用。

5)叙述要生动。要使文章叙述生动，具有吸引力，必须请注意词汇的选择，时态的运用以及上下文的一致问题。词语的运用应注意是否恰当、通顺、简洁和准确。时态的运用应注意上下文的相关性、连续性，要与表达的内容一致。

6)叙述的顺序。大多数情况下叙述都是按照事情的发展及时间的先后进行的，但有时也可以采用其它顺序，如倒叙、插叙等。

7)人称。一般说来，记叙文用第一人称或第三人称来叙述。用第一人称叙述的优点是：文章比较生动、形象，使读者有身临其境的感觉，因而加强了故事的真实感和感染力。其缺点是，描写的范围受到限制。一篇文章中，由于角色的变化，人称也要随之而变，但应注意前后一致性。

Do you know what my favorite animal? Is the dog of course. My grandma keep a dog, it has a beautiful black hair, a pair of intense big eyes, four legs as fast like a rocket.

One day, I found more doghouse puppy, oh! Originally was born a bitch, a total of four. The dog is cute and naughty, every day running around in the yard, for a while to run the house, ran upstairs after a while, a moment to hide it, run it after a while, as if with a group of friends hide under, from time to time, the old dog to the dog barked two cry, as if to say: "children, dont go to far, pay attention to safety." Play with the dogs have been tired of a day, a meal, stretch and a yawn, into the arms of mother, dogs quickly into the sweet dream sweet, return in mouth every now and then a rumbling sound, as if to say talk in a dream.

The next morning, the birds singing in the branches, wake up the sleeping dog, a yawn, they stretch, rub the sleepy sleepy eyes, began to a day of happy life.

Look! How happy puppy, it is a happiness.

你知道我最喜欢什么动物吗?当然是小狗。我姥姥家养了一只小狗，它有一身乌黑亮丽的毛，一双炯炯有神的大眼睛，四只腿跑得像火箭一样快。

有一天，我发现狗窝里又多了一些小狗，哦!原来是这只母狗生的，一共四只。这些小狗又可爱又调皮，每天在院子里跑来跑去，一会跑屋里，一会跑楼上，一会躲那，一会跑这，好像跟一群小朋友躲迷藏，时不时，老狗还向小狗汪汪得喊两声，好像在说：“孩子们，别跑太远了，注意安全。”玩了一天的小狗们都累了，吃完饭，伸个懒腰，打个哈欠，投入到狗妈妈的怀抱里，小狗们很快就进入了甜甜的梦香，嘴里还时不时的发出咕咕的声音，好像在说梦话。

第二天早上，小鸟在枝头唱歌，叫醒了正在熟睡的小狗，它们打个哈欠，伸个懒腰，揉揉睡意惺忪的眼睛，又开始了一天的快乐生活。

瞧!多么快乐的小狗，真是幸福美好的一家。

导语：现如今越来越多人网购，网购是由于网上购物很便捷，人们不用出门，只要轻轻点击鼠标，就能买到自己想要的商品。下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的英语作文，欢迎阅读与借鉴，谢谢!

Recently, we often show that shopping online is better than in store, but is this really the case? Actually, there is no consensus of opinions among people as to the view of shopping online is better than traditional shopping. Some people consider that online shopping will replace the mall shopping, stores will disappear in the future, while others argue that stores would unlikely to be disappeared, it has its own advantages.

Most people shopping online because it is very convenient, there is no need to go out, just click the mouse gently, they can buy the goods they want. In addition, goods online are cheaper than entity shop that buyers can save a lot of money. But even the coin has two sides. Online shopping also has advantages and disadvantages. In recent years, we see a lot of news about online cheating, and many buyers complain about poor quality of the goods, which is different with the description.

However, the situation above is rare in traditional shopping store, because the guest can communicate with the seller face to face. Buyers can also see goods intuitively. But the traditional shopping does not convenience as well as online shopping, for example, if people meet a traffic jam on the way to the shopping which will affect the happy mood of shopping.

To sum up, online shopping and traditional shopping has their own advantages and disadvantages. They can exist together, in recent period of time, online shopping will not replace traditional shopping.

【参考译文】

近来，我们经常听说网上买东西比在实体店更好，但情况真的如此吗?事实上，人们并未就这个观点达成一致意见，一些人认为网购将会代替商场购物，商场未来会消失，而另一些人则争辩说商场不可能会消失，它有自己的优势。

大部分人网购是由于网上购物很便捷，人们不用出门，只要轻轻点击鼠标，就能买到自己想要的商品。另外，网上的东西比实体店的便宜很多，买家可以节约很多钱。不过硬币都有正反面，网购也存在利弊。近年来，我们看到很多关于网购欺骗的新闻，以及很多买家抱怨商品的质量很差，跟网上描述的不相同。

但这样的情况在传统购物就很少发生。因为客人与店主可以面对面交流，买家也可以直观的看到商品。但是传统购物却没有网购方便，比如在去购物的路上遇到堵车等情况，就会影响愉快的购物心情。

综上所述，网购和传统的购物都有各自的优势和劣势，两者可以共同存在，在近段时间，网购不会取代传统购物

今天，我和爸爸一起去扫墓，坐爸爸的车一起去山上。

Today, I and my father went to sweep the tombs, sitting in my fathers car to go to the mountain.

在坐车的路上，我望着窗外的风景。窗外的风景真美，花草树木，绿树丛阴。

In the car on the road, I looked at the scenery outside the window. The scenery is beautiful, the flowers and trees, shade of green trees.

“清明时节雨纷纷。”我们踏着泥腻的山路，走到山上，终于到了太公，太婆的墓前，爷爷点了一把香，给了我们每人三根香，在太公，太婆墓下拜了拜。

"Qingming Festival have rain." We follow the mud with the mountain, go to the mountain, and finally to the squire, womans tomb, Grandpa lit incense, give each of us three stick of incense, in the space, woman tomb the worship.

我们拜完之后，就开始给太公，太婆烧阴间的钞票和金银财宝，烧完了以后，我们又再次拜了一拜，才依依不舍地离去。

When we worship, began to burn the woman too, money and treasures, burnt out, once again we worship a worship, to be reluctant to part.

by the time children enter school, they’ll have spent up to one-third of their waking hours in front of tv. the enormous influence of television is just beginning to be realized. while many parents take television as an electronic baby-sitter, they neglect the fact that television may be more harmful than it is beneficial to children.

those who encourage small children to watch television claim that many programs for children on tv are helpful to develop children’s interest and enrich their knowledge. they also argue that preoccupied with tv programs, children are prevented from doing mischief. although at a first glance these arguments sound true, the behavior of some children doesn’t seem to prove them.

in the first place, programs for children are not always beneficial to them. one science fiction serial keeps telling about some supernatural beings who can fly and always fight against evildoers. after watching several episodes, a small child was so enchanted that he imitated the heroes and “flew” from his room on the second floor. there are also reports of children running away from home to the mountains to practice martial art. these incidents are naturally credited with tv programs for children.

further, being preoccupied with tv programs is not a good way for avoiding mischief. in the days before tv, parents used to gather together with their children, telling stories or reading poems to them. the communication between parents and children was thus better, so it was easier for children to understand what was good conduct.those who approve of children’s watching tv neglect television’s bad effects on children. firstly, children are surrounded and bombarded by commercials for toys and foods. they are tempted into becoming consumers. they earnestly ask their parents to buy things which they do not really need. as a result, the parents are in a financial dilemma, and the children themselves always become victims of bad products because of false advertising.

another bad effect of television is that children are over-exposed to violence. they watch hours of murders, fights, and crimes every week, with no adult around to tell them that life is not like that most of the time. the effect of the heavy dose of violence is to suggest to children that violence is an ordinary way of life, and that shooting and cheating are ways to success.most serious of all, children who often watch tv are becoming passive. they just sit back and let things happen to them. children are inventive; they have the ability to imagine a whole world of their own. but what happens when their imagination is not needed, when tv does all the imagination for them? obviously, these children are not going to grow up as inventive and imaginative as their parents, for they have been robbed of creative impulses by television.

to sum up, children’s indulgence in television is harmful. the problem, nevertheless, is not one of prohibition. parents should supervise and guide their children’s watching tv instead of parking them in front of the tube, hoping it will act as a baby-sitter.
