“低碳从小做起”，自从上六年级以来，只要我不节约，爸爸妈妈就会在我耳边说起这句话。 为此，我决定真的要做个低碳生活的执行者。 记得有一次，妈妈用完面膜之后，刚准备要扔掉，恰巧让我看到了，我连忙大喊一声阻止妈妈：“妈妈，不能扔掉!”妈妈听见了之后，立即停下。我飞快跑过去，夺下了妈妈手中的面膜。然后对妈妈说：“妈妈你用完的面膜不能扔，电视上说面膜用完之后可以擦家具，不仅擦得亮，而且还有香味。

”妈妈听了后，微笑着拍拍我头的说：“我女儿真的懂得低碳生活了。” 在爸爸面前我也不能服输，就在前几天，因为我们家的衣柜很潮湿，爸爸和妈妈都无计可施，这时我想到了奶奶常常用报纸垫在衣柜里，她说过报纸可以防潮，还可以吸收异味，于是我就去找报纸，但是以前用过的报纸都让我扔掉了，现在家里还真的没有报纸，人家都说“书到用时方恨少”今天我却想说“报纸用时方恨无”。嗯，对了，今天我好像看见爸爸下班时拿回来了一张报纸，我连忙找到了爸爸：“爸爸你今天是不是拿回来一张报纸?”爸爸疑惑不解的点点头，我迫不及待的说：“快贡献出来，我有办法了。”

当爸爸看我把报纸垫在衣柜里时，害的我爸爸找不到报纸又买啦一张。 现在，每天上学我都步行，再也不让爸爸摩托车送我;我每次逛街都自备口袋……我要过真正的低碳生活。 低碳从我做起，让我们一起来建设文明、幸福、魅力、新东港吧。

低碳是每个人的责任，是一种态度，不是一种能力。对我们来说，低碳生活是一种简单的生活方式

现在，提倡低碳生活，身为小学生的我，虽然不能给地球做出多大的贡献，但在低碳生活这一方面，我也努力做好我能做的小事。

现在我正好放假在家里，就先向家里人“开刀”吧!外婆每天做饭不太讲究节约，我说：“外婆，现在提倡”低碳生活“，如果你焖米饭时，把大米浸泡20分钟后再煮，可缩短时间;做饭时要用中火;烧东西时要擦干锅，不易煮烂煮烂的食品要用高压锅，都有助于节省燃气。还有，洗菜淘米的水可以用来浇花，洗衣服的水可以用来拖地或者冲厕所。”外婆吃惊的说：“是吗?!外婆老了不知道，就照你说的办吧!”

爸爸睡觉前总要玩会儿电脑，我就趁机说：爸爸，现在提倡“低碳生活”，玩电脑不仅浪费电，对眼睛也不好，你知道吗，有好多国家就是因为有许多肆无忌惮浪费电的人，所以他们经常断电，白天还好，晚上就得打着灯了!爸爸你看他们多可怜啊，你还是早早的睡觉吧!爸爸高兴地说：“我女儿长大了，比我知道的还多，说的有道理，我试试看，也加入你的”低碳一族“。我心里喜滋滋的。

到了晚上，外公打开了电视，声音调的十分大。我说：“外公，现在人们都在不断提高低碳意识，声音小，亮度低都可以节电，还有你的手机，晚上不用时就关机，可以减少充电的次数。”外公满脸笑容的说：“你不愧是我的好外孙女，从小就知道节约，这些我还没想到呢，我一定照办。”我高兴地一蹦三尺高，外公也是“低碳一族”了。

我不能光要求别人低碳，自己也要做到，我要马上行动起来。做到多喝白开水，少喝饮料;少用纸巾擦手;每周选一天不吃肉;少买多余的衣服以及生活学习用品;本子反正面都用，不用修正液、修正带。

希望大家都养成低碳习惯，提高低碳意识，争当低碳标兵。

We will never forget our freshman year at college. In general it is a time filled with anticipation, some anxiety, and wonderful discoveries.

College is much different than high school. You may decide to commute from your home to a local campus. Without doubt, the most dramatic freshman year is for those living away from home. What can we expect as we head off into the wonderful world of higher education?

The first thing I notice is the workload. It is heavier and more intense than I ever experienced before. The major challenges of college work are large volume of reading, short deadlines, and “endless” writing. A related effect that can be brought on by the workload is doubt, frustration, and loneliness if possible.

On some of those long, seemingly endless nights of studying and writing, it will be very natural for me to long for fine old days. Hang in there. These down periods will pass.

I have made a lot of new friends. I am sure college friendships will be among the most satisfying and long-term in my life. Its always exciting to discover how wonderfully diverse college relationships can be.

I am enjoying my newfound freedom. Stay up until dawn talking about my ideals and ambitions with my dorms regular bull session buddies. Sleep in until the afternoon on a light class day. Explore the local town or suburbs with one or two of my new friends.

I even start to think about my future. Going to college is as much about finding out who am I as it is about getting the degree.

After passing the 20XX College Entrance Examination, I find my name in the enrolling list of Hechi college which many young people dream of. As a boy of 18, I am happy to go to such a famous university, so that I want to make my life colorful and fruitful in university. Heres my plan for university life:

Firstly, I am an adult of 18 years old, so I should learn to be independent, especially in my study. Teachers here will not keep an eye on me as they did in the middle school and parents will not take care of everything as they did in the past. Of course, study is my own business and priority. I will pay most of my attention to it. I think the autonomous learning is the most important for a college student. Besides, I will learn how to think of the questions critically and study my courses creatively.

Secondly, it is also important to set aside some time for relaxation because study shouldnt occupy all of my free time. I will develop my hobbies to enrich my experience and broaden my horizon. At the same time, I will participate in some associations to learn something outside of textbooks and get some understandings about society and the world.

Finally, I will make more friends on campus. It is an effective way to improve my communicative abilities and confidence. How to spend a fruitful and meaningful university life? Friends can help me because we can compete with each other, make progress together.

In short, I am looking forward to my life in university and I am sure it will be happy and fruitful.

Summer holiday, is joyful! Is excited! In these happy days, I often get busy.

I remember one day I was writing my homework. Suddenly a large number of guests came to the house, and my mother was too busy to catch her breath. I looked in my eyes, and immediately picked up my homework and rushed to my mother and said, "mom, let me help you." The mother didnt lift her head and said, "play with it and help your mother do it later." I have some grievance. I have grown up. Why dont I trust me? After my death, my mother reluctantly agreed. After a while, I was sweating from my forehead, and my heart was as happy as a candy in my heart.

During the summer vacation, my parents took me to the forest park in kunshan. As soon as I got there, my eyes were riveted by the big ship across the room. I cant wait to get my mom and dad to take me to the boat.

Summer life is rich and colorful, it belongs to me alone, others can share, but cannot take it away!

Campus life is like flowers, colorful and deeply attracted to the students.

In the morning the students with the birds entered the gate, a day of school life began. After a magical Chinese lesson, I finished a wonderful math lesson. This is the end of class, and the students rushed to the playground. They have some tiaopijin, play, dance and sing. A song and laughter.

This is our rich and pleasant campus life.

Now, the world is in advocate a theme, that is: "low-carbon life".

Why should advocate low carbon life? Thats because in recent years, as people on waste, caused a sharp reduction in the earths energy, is now left, to the development of new energy sources, certainly too late.

Behavior, therefore, we should resist these waste, save energy use as much as possible in the life, and thus reduce carbon dioxide emissions. In this way, can achieve the "low-carbon life".

Now, more and more people begin to join the advocate low carbon life, then make a contribution to build a low carbon life. But there are some people, just enjoy yourself, dont for the sake of the future, the waste of the earth have very little energy at random, this kind of behavior is wrong, if everyone like they, themselves, low energy on the earth before long, will be used up, by this time, no matter how much people have the regret, also of no help.

Low carbon life in this moment now, appears especially important, I hope everyone should consciously create a low carbon life, starts from his side. Create a low carbon life, starts from me!

现在，全球都在提倡一个主题，那就是：“低碳生活”。

为什么要提倡低碳生活呢?那是因为近几年来，由于人们的大肆浪费，造成了地球上的能源的急剧减少，现在已经所剩无几了，再开发新的能源，肯定来不及。

因此，我们要抵制这些浪费的行为，在生活中尽可能地节约使用能源，并因而减少二氧化碳的排放量。这样，才能够做到“低碳生活”。

现在，越来越多的人们开始加入了提倡低碳生活的行列，并为营造低碳生活作着贡献。但是，还有一些人，只顾着自己享受，根本就不会为将来着想，随意地浪费着地球上已经所剩无几的能源，这种行为是不对的，假如人人都像他们那样，只顾自己的话，地球上微薄的能源用不了多久，就会被消耗殆尽的，到了那个时候，无论人们有多么的后悔，也无济于事了。

低碳生活在现在这种关头，显得尤其重要，希望大家都要自觉地营造低碳生活，从自己的身边做起。营造低碳生活，从我做起!

Nowadays, environmental pollution is very common. Resource waste is also

seen everywhere. In order to protect the environment, to protect our earth, we

need to live a low-carbon life. I usually go to school on foot, sometimes by

bike. If I need to go to the other city, I will choose the public transportation

and not ask my parents drive me there. If I am the last one to leave classroom

or home, I will make sure all the lights are off. I always will save the water

after washing clothes. And then use it to wash the toilet. Our earth is in our

own hands.

As we know, many people favor the idea that the University life is free and comfortable, but I’d like to say it’s not true. As a matter of fact, my life in university is so busy that I wonder if my energy is enough. As to my University life, I divide it into four parts, including study, student activities, library and the others.

Firstly, I want to talk about the study. In my opinion, study is the priority in University. When I received the letter of admission in summer, I knew clearly that what I should do. So I make up my mind to study hard and pursue learning as much as possible. I’m greatly convinced that knowledge can change my life. Therefore, I often go to the quiet study room where many people study there. By working so hard, I get good grades in the exams.

Secondly, student activities play an important role in our University life. To be honest, the student Union is a good place where one can develop social skills, get his abilities trained. I take part in many student activities. For example, I’ m a volunteer, teaching the kids to learn to dance and write. I think it’s meaningful for everyone to give a hand to others. I can also do some jobs in the Student Union, including receiving and sending fast mail, selling papers and magazines. I think they’re unforgettable and worthwhile experiences for me.

Thirdly, I also visit the library constantly. It’s said that “shelves of books, oceans of knowledge”, so I read books that I’m interested in. In this way, I can share stories with my new friends and it also changes my horizons .When I’m sad, lost or in trouble, staying the library makes me quiet and comfortable. After all, every life has bad moments as well as good ones, and the library for me is a support in bad moments. So it’s wise choice for me to stay in the library.

Finally, I often do other things in my spare time. In order to alleviate parents’ burden, I often do some part-time jobs and write some articles to earn money. It helps me to be independent and improve my social skills.

In short, my life in university is busy but valuable. You can see that study brings me knowledge, student activities improve myself, library changes my horizons, the others things make me independent. They get all my abilities trained. And I see that the chance will come only if you have a prepared mind, so I’m sure that I can achieve my dreams in University life.

First, we have four classes in the morning and three in the afternoon. We have to get to school before 7:30 because we have a morning class.

Second, I like my school life because teachers and my classmates are friendly and helpful. We also have lots of after-school activies.

Third, our school environment is very beautiful, the teachers all can make their lesson interesting and instructive. So I like my school life very much.

我的学校生活是忙碌的，神奇的。首先，我们有四节课在上午和下午三。我们到学校7:30之前因为我们早上有课。其次，我喜欢我的学校生活，因为老师和我的同学都很友好，乐于助人。我们也有很多的课外活动。第三、我们的学校环境很漂亮，老师们都能使自己的课有趣又有启发性。所以我非常喜欢我的学校生活。

不知道大家的业余生活是什么，有的人是打篮球，玩游戏，看书，你的又是什么呢?接下来，小编为您介绍了我的业余生活英语作文，赶紧一起来看看吧!

My Spare Time

I am a middle school student. Though I’m busy with my lessons, my spare time is still colorful.

After school I usually play sports. I like basketball and football very much. Sports help me to keep healthy and study better. I often do some reading in the evening. I think books are our best friends. They give us much knowledge that we can’t learn at school. So reading books is the best way of spending my spare time.

Sometimes I watch TV or surf the Internet. I find it’s a good way to relax myself. At the same time it can also help me open up my eyes to the outside world. At the weekends I often help my parents with the housework. I clean the house, wash clothes and learn to cook. During the summer or winter vacation, I have enough time to do things like volunteering. I help those people who are in need. It’s a good experience for me. I enjoy myself in my spare time.

我的业余生活

我是一名中学生。尽管学业繁忙，但是我的业余生活仍然丰富多彩。

放学后我常常参加体育活动。我非常喜欢打篮球和踢足球。体育运动令我身体健康、学习也更加优秀。到了晚上，我常常会读点书。我认为书籍是我们最好的朋友，它教给了我们许多在学校里学不到的知识，所以读书大大充实了我的业余时间。

偶尔我也会看看电视、上上网，这倒是放松自己不错的方式，与此同时，还能开阔自己的视野。周末的时候，我经常帮父母做做家务：打扫房子、洗衣物、学做饭。在寒暑假，我有足够的时间，可以做的事情有很多，比如做一名志愿者，去帮助那些需要帮助的人们。这对我来说是一份宝贵的经验。总之，我乐享我的业余生活。

Now we are facing two problems of global warming and a shortage of natural resources, both of which are getting more and more serious day by day. Thus, it is important for us to promote aLow-carbon lifestyle.

如今我们面临着两大环境问题：全球变暖和自然资源匮乏，且情况日益严重。由此可见，提倡低碳生活的重要性。

Low-carbon lifestyle covers many aspect of our life like transportation, traveling, home-heating, and so on. In order to promote a low-carbon life, some plans must be carried out as follows. Firstly, don’t waste any electricity and water. Remember to turn off the lights and water taps unless we use them. Secondly, we had better take the subways or bus to work, so as to reduce the emissions of carbon dioxide. Thirdly, we should use cloth bags for shopping instead of plastic bags, and use recyclable bowls and chopsticks instead of disposable ones, for it can not only save resources, but also reduce pollution. What’s more, it is of great significance to plant more trees, since trees can balance the carbon dioxide emissions.

低碳生活方式包括了我们生活的很多方面，比如交通、旅行、室内取暖等。为了促进低碳生活，我们应该采取以下的行动。首先，不要浪费水电。要记得随手关灯，用水完后随手关闭水龙头。其次，我们最好坐地铁或是公交车上班，这样可以减少碳排放。第三，我们购物时应该用布袋替换塑料袋;使用可循环利用的碗筷，不使用一次性用品。因为这样不仅节约资源，也减少污染。此外，大量植树也很重要，因为树木可以平衡二氧化碳排放量。

In a word, if we live a low-carbon life from now on, we will have a better environment and more resources left for our descendants.

总之，如果我们现在开始低碳生活，我们将会拥有跟美好的环境，还为我们的子孙后代节约资源。

This afternoon, my mother took me to a friendly bookstore reading a book, I was very excited. Friendly to books, wow! Here is a book sea! See filled up with all kinds of books on the shelf full of beautiful things in eyes, dazzling. I carefully selected a book "the elementary students diary. I went to the book, so many people here! Some reading in quietly; Some reading in to do earnestly notes -- -- -- -- -- - I took a seat to sit down with a book with relish.

About an hour after I read the book. Mother said: "its getting late, should go home." I reluctantly left the friendly books, thought: "this is a good place for reading, later I will often come here to read a book."

The Winter Holiday,I like the winter holiday very much.

Though its very short,I can enjoy the Spring Festival.

I can watch cartoon every day.I neednt go to school frepuently.

Sometimes I can go to play with my friend outside.With the festival coming,I can play all the time.

I can play video game with my brother.I am good at playing PC game.

So I often beats my brother.Then more and more relative came to my home.

We had dinner together.Its so lively that Iam very happy.But I still have to do my homework.

Nowadays, with the development of technology, many young people stay

indoors and play computer all the time. Especially for those who stay up very

late or go out to play for fun until midnight, then they wake up at noon the

next day. This is the unhealthy lifestyle, and they need to make some

changes.

First, having regular break time and enough sleep is the basic way to keep

healthy. Some young people hang out for fun after work. They need to release

their pressure and have fun with their friends. They go home very late and then

next day get up, preparing to work. In the long run, they not only have low

efficiency, but also damage their bodies.

Second, keep the balanced diet. Most people are picky about food. They only

choose the food they like and lose the balance of nutrition. For most kids, they

like to have meat and refuse of the vegetables and fruit. It is not good for the

growth of their bodies.

The healthy lifestyle helps people live the harmonious life. Besides having

enough sleep and keeping balance diet, taking exercise is also in need.

Summer can be very hot in southern taibei where the temperature usually goes up to 32"C or more. Because of the heat it is a trying experience to go to school or do anything else in a place that is not air-conditioned. Also because of this I stay at home most of the time during the summer vacation and only occasionally go to the beach to plunge myself into the cool water as a way to keep my body less sticky. Actually I like swimming and think nothing is more refreshing than a swim. In the summer vacation that has just ended I went swimming many times with my classmates and we all had a good time. This summer vacation, however, was not spent entirely in seeking fun. As a second-year senior student I had to prepare myself for the college entrance examinations that were only a year away. In other words, I must find time to study, too. So I divided my time between work and play during the summer vacation and derived much benefit from this arrangement.

I spent this summer vacation in quite a different way. I used to run about every day in previous summer vacations, but this summer vacation I simply could not afford to do so. I would soon be in the last year of my high-school education and would after graduation be up against the college entrance examinations. Though those examinations were still a year away, I had to start early to make myself well prepared by reviewing all those things I had learned at school and this summer vacation was the ideal time for me to do this. At first I was rather dismayed at the thought of this, but later I thought it was better this way because by working hard this summer I could count on endless happy summers to come. With this in mind I then set to work like anything and only occasionally went out for a change or did some physical. I was not at all bored by this kind of life, for I was sustained by a hope.
