网络社交危害英语作文【汇总20篇】

The shared bikes like Mobike and Ofobring great convenience to people. You

needn’t lock them by simply using your smart phone. They can take you where the

subway and bus don’t go. And they can be left anywhere in public for the next

user.

However, bad things happen. Some people damage the QR code on the bike, or

use their own lock, which causes trouble toother users.

In my opinion, it’s difficult to turn these people’s ideas in a short time.

Therefore, bike-sharing companies like Mobike and Ofo need to do something. For

example, those who damage the bike should pay for their actions. Also, because

people use their real name to registeras a user, it’s a good way to connect to

one’spersonal credit.

In the end, what I want to say is to take good care of public services.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Good morning! I am Oscar, the spokesman of the Students’ Union. On behalf

of the Students’ Union, the main organizer of today’s sports meeting, I welcome

you all to the beautiful stadium. After two months’ preparation, our annual

and even intellectual skills, which will matter in our future lives

substantially. So hope everybody here cherish this opportunity and enjoy it.

At last, best wishes for the success of the sports meeting and best wishes

for the good results of our athletes. It is my pleasure to announce the open of

Does Robot Have Self-consciousness

It is known to all that robot is invented by human being and it is just the program set by scientists. What the robot does will follow the program, theoretically, it has no life and won’t have self-consciousness. But in the screen, many movies show that in the future, robot may have self-consciousness, which will challenge human beings. In the early film, The Matrix, showed the audience that the computer program would do what they want and out of people’s control. The hottest TV series West World, describing a world built by human beings, as the players to play with the robot that looked like the real man. These robots started to have their consciousness after upgrading. They rebelled their fate and fought with human beings. Though the fact that robot is still a machine now, who knows what will happen with the development of technology.

昨天晚上，我到小区学校的春节晚会当志愿者，开始的时间是5：00，结束是7：30。在过程中，我第一个任务是先站在签到台，帮老师在卡片上写1、2、3、4……等数字，交给来宾们当抽奖券;第二个任务是晚会结束时，帮助推门，方便人们离开。

学校小丹老师告诉我们志愿者是很辛苦的，因为他们只能工作，而不能看节目，我和志愿者哥哥姐姐们一直坚持到最后，虽然中间有一点小偷懒，但被老师提醒一次后，我就没有犯过错。

最后，老师们给我们志愿者评分，我得到的分数是9分、10分、10分，虽然分数很高，但我也要继续努力!

Since the one child policy carried on, many families had only one kid. As the children growing up, they felt lonely, because they did not have anyone to accompany. They felt so envious when they saw others have siblings. There is no doubt that the one child policy has controlled the population to increase so fast and helped people to improve their life lever. Recently, the government tends to open the second child policy slowly. People hold the different opinion. Some people think that it is good to let the child have siblings, so they will not lonely and can learn the meaning of sharing. Other people don’t want to have one more child because they don’t have enough money. They want to give the best education to the child, so they think one child is enough. Anyway, the second child policy gives people more choice.

由于独生子女政策的执行,许多家庭只有一个孩子。当孩子们长大了,他们感到孤独,因为他们没有人陪。他们看到别人有兄弟姐妹时会感到很羡慕。毫无疑问,独生子女政策控制人口快速增长和帮助人们改善他们的生活水平。最近,政府趋向慢慢开放二孩政策。人们持有不同的意见。一些人认为这是好的,让孩子有兄弟姐妹,这样他们不会孤独,可以学习分享的意义。另外一些人不想要一个孩子,因为他们没有足够的钱。他们想给孩子最好的教育,所以他们认为一个孩子就足够了。无论如何,二胎政策给予人们更多的选择。

With the development of our society， energy in the world bees more and more

limited， so it is quite important for us to save energy and to protect our

environment。 As a student， there are a lot of methods we can do to save energy

at home。 For example， first， we can turn off the light as well as other

appliances when we are not using them。 Second， recycle the waste water， paper

and other waste so that we can reuse them。 Whats more， it is suggested to use

public transportation more instead of private cars.

Above all， everyone can make a great contribution to our environment。 I

hope I can learn more to develop new and clear energy， like energy from the wind

and solar.

网络是一种很好的信息交流工具，人类有了它，就能随时随地地获得信息.因此，就有越来越多的网络游戏出现。有部分电脑游戏是以暴力或是其他不良信息作为主题的，当学生玩这种游戏时，就会被灌输这样的想法。

现在网上有许多骗人的东西，已有不少人上当受骗了，我觉得，我们应该有一颗警惕心，防止一些坏人的犯罪行为。

我认为，上网最主要的目的应该是查找资料，而不是一味的玩游戏，沉迷游戏，这是不好的。万一沉迷于玩游戏，就会影响许多方面的问题。例如学业、与别人沟通等等。所以我们应该坚决反对沉迷游戏。

有一次，我在电视上看到一个男孩，因为沉迷网络游戏，天天都不回家，在网吧通宵上网。家长与学校也已经多次劝阻，可还是屡教不改，最终因过于沉迷游戏，导致精神失常，伤害了别人。

沉迷网络游戏是一种不好的行为。作为学生的我们，应该把精力放在学习上，而不是沉迷与上网玩游戏。我相信，只要我们努力，就一定能将这种不良风气消灭的!

电脑对人体的五大危害：

一是对身体健康的直接影响：电脑显示器伴有辐射与电磁波，长期使用会伤害人们的眼睛，诱发一些眼病，如青光眼等;长期击键会对手指和上肢不利;操作电脑时，体形和全身难得有变化，高速、单一、重复的操作，持久的强迫体位，容易导致肌肉骨骼系统的疾患。计算机操作时所累及的主要部位有腰、颈、肩、肘、腕部等。

二是电脑微波对身体的危害：电脑的低能量的X射线和低频电磁辐射，容易引起人们中枢神经失调。英国一项办公室电磁波研究证实，电脑屏幕发出的低频辐射与磁场，会导致719种病症，包括眼睛痒、颈背痛、短暂失去记忆、暴躁及抑郁等。对女性还易造成生殖机能及胚胎发育异常，出现痛经、经期延长等症状，少数妇女还发生早产或流产，孕妇每周使用20小时以上电脑，其流产发生率增加80%以上，同时，还能导致胎儿畸形。

三是增加精神和心理压力：操作电脑过程中注意力高度集中，眼、手指快速频繁运动，使生理、心理过度重负，从而产生睡眠多梦、神经衰弱、头部酸胀、机体免疫力下降，甚至会诱发一些精神方面的疾病。这种人易丧失自信，内心时常紧张、烦躁、焦虑不安，最终导致身心疲惫。

四是导致网络综合征：长时间无节制地花费大量时间和精力在互联网上持续聊天、浏览，会导致各种行为异常、心理障碍、人格障碍、交感神经功能部分失调，严重者发展成为网络综合征，该病症的典型表现为：情绪低落、兴趣丧失、睡眠障碍、生物钟紊乱、食欲下降和体重减轻、精力不足、精神运动性迟缓和激动、自我评价降低、思维迟缓、不愿意参加社会活动、很少关心他人、饮酒和滥用药物等。

五是电脑散发的气体危害呼吸系统：电脑、激光打印机等设备会释放有害人体健康的臭氧，不仅有毒，而且可造成某些人呼吸困难，对于那些哮喘病和过敏症患者来说，情况就更为严重了。

另外，较长时间呆在臭氧气体浓度较高的地方，还会导致肺部发生病变。

With the development of science , more and more people are confused that whether it is good or bad to make robort. Are roborts going to take place of human beings.

Every coin has two side. Robort can be good to our society and life. At the same time,it also have some bad effect on our life.In my opinion, the advantages of robort are much more than the disadvantage of roborts.

First, roborts make our life more convenient. We can do many thing that we didnt have the ability to do in the past by using roborts.That makes our life more effective.

Second, roborts can be used in industry produce. Factories can reduce the cost of prodution by using roborts. Roborts do not need to eat and they will not be ill. Thats very good for producing goods.

Third,roborts can save more people when disaster happens. Because they cant feel pain and they can save more people without feeling tired.

In a word, the world is changing .We should also change our thought to accept roborts to become part of our life . That can make our life more colorful.

随着科技的发展，越来越多的人都感到困惑，是好是坏机器人。是机器人将取代人类。

每个硬币都有两面。机器人可以很好的为我们的社会和生活。同时，它对我们的生活也有不好的影响。在我看来，对机器人的优点远大于缺点的机器人。

首先，机器人使得我们的生活更方便。我们能做的，我们没有做过去用机器人的能力，很多事情，使我们的生活更有效。

其次，机器人可以用于工业生产。工厂可以通过降低生产成本的机器人。机器人不需要吃饭，他们会不会生病。这是非常好的生产商品。

第三，机器人可以挽救更多的人，当灾难发生时。因为他们不能感到痛苦，他们可以拯救更多的人而不觉得累。

总之，世界在变化，我们也应该改变我们的思想，接受机器人成为我们生活的一部分。这可以使我们的生活更加丰富多彩。

Mid-Autumn Day，all the country is celebrating。 The streets are full of people， the loves are holding each other tightily。Everyone has his day。However，I am lonely。No one to hold，no one to kiss，no one to talk!

I was walking around the street without purpose，seeing the lovers kissing，watching the fireworkes alone，walking backe room whist。

Suddenly，i think i must be good to myself。So i decied to bue a present to myself。I know I will be good soon，and will find my Mr。Right。So tonight， a little teddy bear will sleep with me。And i know:i will have another teddy bear as a present that not bought from myself!

中秋节，全国各地都在庆祝。街上到处都是人，爱情紧紧相依。每个人都有他的一天。但是，我很孤独。没有人可以抱，没有人亲吻，没有人来谈论!

我无条件地走在街上，看到恋人们亲吻，独自看着烟火，走回来的房间。

突然间，我觉得我必须对自己好。所以我决定给自己一件礼物。我知道我很快就会好起来的，会找到我的Mr.Right。所以今晚，一只小泰迪熊会和我一起睡觉。我知道：我会买另一只泰迪熊作为礼物而不是我自己买的!

When it comes to success, different people have different opinions about

what makes it come true. Some people regard hard-working as an essential quality

to success while others believe being clever would lead to success. From my

point of view, I think perseverance and hard-working are indispensable for those

who want to make an achievement.

Firstly, perseverance let people step closely towards success. Most people

want to make a big difference to prove their value. People who set their goal

and keep moving would make their dream come true. However, there are some people

who set their goal but they stop at the difficulty would fail in the end. I

think the difference between success and failure is perseverance. If we have

perseverance, even if we are not clever, we will make a great difference, but if

we not, we are doomed to lose. As we all know, Edison is a great inventor in the

world. However, before he invented the bulb, he kept trying for tens of

thousands of times to find a suitable wire. Let us imagine, if he gave up at the

999th, then how he couldn’t become so successful. So, I strongly believe that

perseverance produces success.

Secondly, there is also a kind of people who are born with cleverness, I

think they are lucky. Nevertheless, if they don’t make a hard work on their way

to their goal, they, absolutely, will become loser. Whether we are gifted for

intelligent, we must be hard-working so as to success. I regard hard-working as

an efficient approach to be successful because I believe ‘pains and gains’. As

for those who do not make great efforts on work, failure follows. In old times,

there is a clever boy who can make excellent poem when he can talk. When his

father found the little child’s cleverness, he just let the child make poems to

show around while never let the boy learned anything. When the boy grew up,

people forgot him because he lost the ability to compose poems and became

ordinary as others. From this matter, we can see that only by hard-working can

we get knowledge and make a good future.

Anyway, I think perseverance and hard-working are both important in our way

to success for they enhance us and produce success.

本学期，我将结合学校工作计划和学校教学工作计划的要求，规范常规教学，提高教学质量，努力形成自己的教学特色。

一、总体思路

以努力提高教学质量为目标，以抓好教学常规工作，提高英语合格率为重点，采用任务型教学法，注重“学困生”的教育补差工作，形成良好的教学风气。

二、学生情况分析

经过一学期的学习，从上期期末成绩来看，七年级两个班的英语成绩比较理想。平均分82分。大部分学生学习目的明确，态度端正，掌握了英语学习的一些基本方法，能够积极主动认真地学习，学习成绩较好。但还有少部分学生没有明确的学习目的，缺少学习的热情和主动性，自觉性较差，相应的学习习惯也差，加上两极分化十分严重。

三、教材分析

《Goforit》七年级下册共14个单元，包括2个复习单元。全书采用任务型语言教学模式，融汇话题、交际功能和语言结构，形成了一套循序渐进的生活化的学习程序。每个单元都列出明确的语言目标，主要的功能项目与语法结构，需要掌握的基本词汇，并分为A、B两部分。A部分是基本的语言内容，B部分是知识的扩展和综合的语言运用。每个单元还有selfcheck部分，供学生自我检测本单元所学的语言知识。它采用“语言的输入---学生的消化吸收---学生的语言输出”为主线编排的。

四、教学目标

掌握本册书上的重点词汇、词组以及句型。通过本学期的学习，培养学生对英语的学习兴趣，形成有效的学习策略，有效提高学习效率，发展双基能力;培养听、说、读、写的能力，使学生初步获得运用英语的能力，达到语言运用能力的迁移和拓展;通过了解世界，了解不同地区的人文风俗，学会理解和尊重异国文化，并使学生在人际交往中学会尊重和理解别人，能在小组活动中积极与他人合作，相互帮助，共同完成学习任务，尽情享受学习的乐趣。

五、教学措施

1、加强词汇教学，包括单词拼写、词义记忆，语言功能的训练。

词汇是文章、句子的基本单位，词汇量的大小，将直接关系到学生能否流利地运用英语进行交际;能否熟练地用英语读和写;能否顺利地用英语思考。从上学期的期末考试所反映的问题看，在今后的教学中，在加强拼读与拼写的同时，应帮助学生进行有意识记，应加强对词的用法及内在含义的理解，要培养学生用英语解释单词的能力，逐步启发引导学生用英语思考。单词教学一定要做到词不离句，这样，学生在学会了单词的同时，也学会了词的一些基本用法。

2、每天背诵课文中的对话，培养语感。

3、基本的语法教学一定要与语境相结合。

进行语法操练时，要坚持“四位一体”，即话题、语境、结构、功能相结合。抓住话题，联系语境，确定语法结构，明确语法功能(交际功能)。要重视语法知识对于培养语言运用功能的基础作用，又要注重改革教法。课堂上一定要有生动活泼的教学活动。

4、进一步培养阅读能力和写作能力。

阅读和写作能力的培养是英语教学的又一重点。阅读和写作能力的培养在于平时。教师在平时讲解阅读理解题时，应着力帮助学生分析语言材料，而不是核对答案;平常应该多写作文。

5、做好学困生转化和优秀生培养工作。

优秀生：___，___，__，___。

学困生：___，___，__，___，___，___，___，___，___，___，___，___，___。

尤其对学困生进行专门辅导，布置一些作业，让他们在小进步、小转变中体会学习的快乐，树立学习的自信，尽快成长起来。

6、继续搞好师徒结对活动。

师徒结对活动也是一种好的学习方式。

7、作业布置要做到数量适中，批阅及时，对出现的问题要跟踪矫正，认真讲评，尽量面批面改。提高练习质量，要精选资料。

六、教研课题

《浅谈英语阅读能力的培养》

措施：用新的教学理念指导英语阅读教学，进一步改变教法和学法，培养学生对英语阅读的兴趣，提高学生的英语阅读能力，提高英语教学效果。

1、尝试通过各种形式的学习，例如复述课文、把课文改编成情景剧、阅读竞赛等活动，提高学生学习英语的兴趣，从而达到自主积累、综合运用英语的目的，并指导学生运用科学的方法记忆单词、阅读课文，取得事半功倍的效果。

2、通过信息技术与学科整合的手段，以课内为基础，增加课外阅读的量，指导学生借助信息手段和工具书理解文章基本内容的方法，提高学生的英语自学能力。

3、以复述课文、回答问题、判断正误、通过上下文线索猜词义为载体，培养学生的综合阅读技能，提高学生的英语阅读理解能力。

wonderful basketball game between my class and postgraduate class.It is so

Boat Festival. When we entered the door, grandma said, "today is Dragon Boat

Festival. Lets make dumplings." We promised. Grandma said, "bamboo leaves need

to be soaked for a while.

After a while, we began to pack the zongzi. Each of us picked up three

pieces of bamboo leaves, grabbed a handful of glutinous rice with our hands, put

them in the bamboo leaves, and put on some big red dates. And then wrap it into

a cone. Im glad to have a zongzi wrapped up. I said to grandma, "the dumplings

are so simple. Grandma said, "the real bag is not easy!" After finishing the

package, the dumplings were cooked.

Our whole family is very happy to eat sweet rice dumplings.

When someone asks me: What is your Chinese dream? I will answer it without

any hesitation: to be a good doctor. The reason why I want to be a doctor is

that I want to save people’s lives as possible as I can. When I was young, I had

a terrible car accident. Thanks to the doctors, they brought me back to life.

From then on, to be a good doctor has always been an inspiration to me. I will

study hard to make sure that my dream will come true in the future.

Chinese dream is made up of every ordinary people’s dreams. We should do

our best to make our dream come true.

Since the development of the technology, the society gets modernized,

people make use of the high technology to pursue more profit. Though the

government has noticed the problem that people do to the environment, they still

can’t prevent negative result that the polluted environment brings.

Many years ago, the most prominent problem of the polluted environment is

that the river and the water were changed their color, some fish even died for

the polluted river. Now the situation becomes ever worse, lately, in the big

city, like Beijing and Shanghai, people are annoyed by the bad weather. It is

not the rainy day, but the haze around the sky, there is no way for people to

run away for it. The haze contains toxic elements, people breathe it and hurt

their bodies.

The haze problem is the result of people’s pursuit for the profit, what

people did to the environment now has been paid back by the environment. Now

people have realized the revenge from the nature is so huge, protecting the

environment is the main task. No matter how bad the environment is, people still

need to do something to fix their mistake.

Yesterday was Teachers Day. It was a great day for all the teachers and also a happy time for us students. In the morning.we went to school early and put a bunch of flowers on our class masters desk to give him a big surprise. Some of us stood at the school gate to say hello to every teacher when they entered the school. In the afternoon, we held a party. We sang and danced with the teachers. They said the best reward for the teachers was to see that we were making progress.

Finally, we have arrived at the expected May Day holiday. You must have

done a lot of things in this holiday. Look at what Ive done!

The first thing: tidy up a room (also called a cleaning). I want to put the

books in my house! Toys! Everything was done, so I started with my dad. Im

going to take all the books out first and classify them. My classification is

this: first put the extracurricular books, second textbooks put half half

lattice magazine, third all magazines, fourth put notebook, put the fifth cram

things, sixth to my dad put things, seventh squares to put papers and file

pouches, eighth all comics. In addition to this, I also put the toy for a while,

and my dad swept the room.

The second thing: buy a bag. Because my dad saw my bag rotten, I went to

buy a new one with me. After seeing the supermarket for a long time, we saw a

nice schoolbag at last. I didnt know it. I didnt know it. When I saw it, I

needed 208 yuan for it. Finally, my dad and I were going to buy a bag on the

Taobao net. It was cheap, plus 10 yuan for freight, only 79 yuan. So its

cheaper to buy online.

Third things: flowers. Dad and I are going to buy some flowers on the

shelf, then go to the flower shop flowers. I look left, right look, finally to

buy a pot Name: "drop water Guanyin" flowers.

Although the cleaning is very tired, it embodies the happiness of labor

day.

有许多人都很喜爱网络，但网络游戏却让人情有独钟。有些人迷上游戏之后，昼夜地玩着游戏，还有的甚至把眼睛给玩瞎了。所以我要提醒大家要少上网玩游戏，否则你就会迷失自己，陷入网络游戏中不能自拔。

有许多网络游戏是骗人的。比如：网上枪战游戏虽然能使你能身临其中，激烈的战争场面、震撼的声音让你感到心惊胆颤，每当打中敌人时就会兴奋不已，会赢得一些积分，可以让你买更多、更先进的武器，这些不断地刺激你、诱惑你，等你赢得的积分越多，奖品就越丰厚，于是，玩家便拼命地花时间、花钱玩游戏。但结果呢？对积分的追求却永远毫无止境，这样不仅使自己的身体受到了严重的伤害，还会将家里玩得|“倾家荡产”、“一无所有”，更严重的是：你的学习也受到了极大的影响，思想上不求上进，只知道玩游戏。家长禁止孩子玩游戏，可是令家长想不到的却是孩子会偷偷地溜到网吧里继续玩游戏，玩得没钱了，就想法子弄钱，甚至去偷、去骗……这时候，思想已经完全驶向错误的方向，长大后，你会为此一生都在后悔！

成都某高校的一个大学生，有这样一张作息时间表：13∶00，起床，吃中饭；14∶00，去网吧玩网络游戏；17∶00，晚饭在网吧叫外卖；通宵练级，第二天早上9∶00回宿舍休息……

这位大学生几乎把所有的空余时间都拿来打游戏，并开始拒绝参加同学聚会和活动。大约两个月之后，他发现自己思维跟不上同学的节奏，脑子里想的都是游戏里发生的事，遇到事情会首先用游戏中的规则来考虑。他开始感到不适应现实生活，陷入了深深的焦虑之中。

目前，有不少中国年轻人像这位大学生一样，长时间沉迷于网络游戏后，发现自己身心上出现了这样或那样的问题。据统计，目前中国网络游戏玩家人数已达700万至1000万，其中相当一部分是20岁左右的年轻人。

网络游戏成瘾引起的社会问题已经出现。湖北一名16岁少年沉迷网络游戏，竟半夜持刀砍伤母亲，抢走8000元钱；3月，湖南沅江一名14岁少年因网络游戏入魔产生幻觉，从4楼跌落身亡。

同学们让我们好好反醒一下，

你是否也有这些过错，俗话说得好：知错就改！让我们走出这些“黑暗的世界”吧！

I’m going to the sun on my holiday. I will go there by a spaceship. I will

take a big blue spaceship. Then I’ll pilot the spaceship to the sun. The sun is

very hot. So I put on the super-shirt. In the morning, I will have some sun

burger for my breakfast.

At eight o’clock, I will play with my friends there. They are super dog and

super girl. Super dog is white and black. Super girl is very clever. Super girl

and super dog like to play with me. So I play with them for forty minutes. Then

I do my homework in my little red room on a small blue table. After my home

work, I will have my lunch. I will eat sun salad. I will make some red toy bear

to the sun babies. I will have red juice, red fish and red rice. All the things

are red. Then I need a lot of water on the sun because the sun is too hot. So I

will walk to the spaceship. I’ll pilot the spaceship to the earth.

This is a good holiday on the sun.

According to the Chinese tradition，at the very beginning of a new year，

when there is a bright full moon hanging in the sky， there should be thousands

of colorful lanterns hung out.

During the Lantern Festival， people will try to solve the puzzles on the

lanterns and eat yuanxiao (glutinous rice ball)。

In the Sui Dynasty in the sixth century， Emperor Yangdi invited envoys from

other countries to China to see the colorful lighted lanterns and enjoy the gala

performances.

By the beginning of the Tang Dynasty in the seventh century， the lantern

displays would last three days. The emperor also lifted the curfew， allowing the

people to enjoy the festive lanterns day and night.

In the Song Dynasty， the festival was celebrated for five days and the

activities began to spread to many of the big cities in China.

Today，3the displaying of lanterns is still a big event on the 15th day of

the first lunar month throughout China.

The fillings inside the dumplings or Yuansiao are either sweet or salty.

Sweet fillings are made of sugar，Walnuts，sesame，osmanthus flowers，rose petals，or

jujube paste etc. A single ingredient or any combination can be used as the

filling . The salty variety is filled with minced meat，vegetables etc.
