歌词i feeling good英文歌优秀20篇

From the first day I was born to now, many people help me and play important role in my life. But to me, father is the most important person in my life. In my memory, my father is kind but strict. He always smiles to me and spends a lot of time with me. We can talk to each other in many things. To some extend, we are friends. However, sometimes he is a father. If I did something wrong, he would point it out directly and ask me to make sure never do it again. Or, when I meet some troubles, he is the first person who gonna help me and encourage me. He always tells me that never give up no matter how bad the situation is. Hold a good wish for the future. I love my father, my friend.

从我出生第一天到现在，很多人帮助了我，在我的生活中扮演者重要的角色。但是对我来说，父亲是我生活中最重要的人。在我的记忆中，我的父亲和蔼而且严厉。他总是对我微笑，花很多时间陪我。我们之间可以相互聊很多东西。从某种程度上说，我们是朋友。然而，有时候他也是父亲。如果我做了什么错事，他会直接指出来并让我保证下次不再犯。当我遇到困难的时候，他是第一个帮助并鼓励我的人。他总是告诉我不管情况有多糟都不要放弃。要对未来抱有希望。我爱我的父亲，我的朋友。

Dear Editor,

I’m writing to tell you how us use computers in our daily lives.Most of us

use computers to search for more information about the interesting problems on

the textbooks, about Iraqi wars and about Oscar. Some of us use computers to do

some drawings, to make up interesting flashes. And some of us use them to play

games. If we are tired and want to take a short rest, playing games for a while

is OK. But it’s forbidden that we spend hours and hours on the games. There is

also someone using computers to talk with people in the Internet and even

falling in love with him or her. The Internet is not a real world and we can’t

tell lies from truths. So falling in love with somebody on the Internet is not

safe and is bad for our study. We should keep ourselves out of it.That’s all I

know.Good luck!

Yours truly,

Saving Water

As we know， water is so important to man. Theamount of water which is

suitable to drink is less and less. But somepeople don’t care about it. They

waste a lot of water in their dailylife. Even worse， they pour dirty water and

throw rubbish into rivers.Many rivers and lakes are seriously polluted.

Something must be doneto stop the pollution(to deal with the problem). And

I think it’s agreat shame to waste while millions are in great need of

water.Wehave to save every drop of water. For example， turn off the tap

afterusing it and use a basin to wash as well. It’s also a good idea to

encouragemy friends and family members to join me! Only in this way can we

livehappily. If not， the last drop of water will be the tear.

I believe if everyone dose like this， we can make agreat difference.

My father is a very ordinary migrant worker, every year the Spring Festival back, the gift to me is only a small toy, there is no gorgeous language, no warm smile.

In my memory, my father never looks in Western dress and leather shoes coat, not handsome, just a simple, small black jacket, he looks very good.

When I was young, my mother always took me to wherever I wanted to, and bought what I like best. Because my father work in the field, I rarely ask, I envy other peoples father, they can coach their children, but also lead them shopping, I can only shed tears silently.

I am on the fourth grade, my father cares about me much, I come back to the post so much learning materials, on the phone to encourage me, praise me, let me help my mother work, learn to wash dishes, clean the room, finish the homework, courtesy of &hellip &hellip and so on;

So far I have known that Dads love is great!

In daily life we are often faced with choices.More often than not,we have to make cardinal decisions indepentently.This moment is very important for everyone to go through.

In order to make a decision that we will not regret,we should bear these two principles in mind:thinking before acting,and never missing any opportunities that arise.On one hand,we should have an apparent,objective judgment about ourselves while maintaining a clear idea about the world around us.On the other hand,we should also think about opportunity.Many people may not quite agree with this and think that opportunity is so rare that only the luckiest people come across it.However,opportunity is open to everyone and one should make good use of it when confronted with it.One should take advantage of it just like the proverb states:“Opportunities are only from the prepared minds.”

So when one is faced with choices the next time,remember that using the mind and taking advantage of good opportunities will pave the way to success.

What will the future be? There are likely to be numerous potential breakthroughs  and achievements in science and technology.Solutions to current social and economic problems will be found.In the field of industry, agriculture and service industry, possible products and manufacturing  methods might be realized.Hi-tech industry could develop faster.The living environment will be cleaner and satisfactory.People will lead a carefree life.Higher education will be available to every knowledge-thirsty person.

It is hard to detail visions on people’s beautiful life.Future is indeed like a riddle, some areas of which are beyond the reach of our imagination.

Nevertheless, one thing is certain: the advancement of science and technology will characterize the future.Only through mastering advanced science and technology can a nation be successful in facing more challenges of technological revolution and social progress

I doubted， thinking： why the book can make them so fascinating？ So I picked up a book and read it． But I knew very little words， and I told my mother to tell me stories before going to bed every night． "Good children bedtime ten minutes story"， "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs"， "Zheng Yuanjie fairy tales"， "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"， "outlaws of the marsh"．．． "

Gradually， as I grew up， I began to read books myself． I know Cao Cao in the romance of the Three Kingdoms， and his every move reveals his cunning． Zhang Feis reckless， Liu Bei heavy friendship etc．． In the "Water Margin"， I also know the outspoken Song Jiang and gallant heroes of Liangshan．

It is the three of us are walking together， there must be my teacher， is the good from it， the poor instead． "！ More reading makes my eloquence and writing very good， writing composition is easy， and my writing level has improved a lot．

Dear Santa Claus,

Hello!

My name is Yang Yue from China. I am a lively and cheerful 10-year-old

girl. I hope you like me.

Listening to the merry Christmas song outside the window, looking at the

Christmas tree decorated with colorful lights as dazzling as the seven colors of

the rainbow, I have had many questions in my heart: we do not have a chimney,

and where did you come in to send me gifts? Do you have any special magic

power?

But most of all I would like to ask you, "How did you know we were looking

for something?" I remember one Christmas Eve when I was very fond of a pink

magic wand. On its pink staff, there are many colorful roses, and on top there

is a beautiful heart with a white ribbon. I cant put it down. I really want it.

But the parents did not agree to buy it for me. I was so sad that I reluctantly

went home. But, the next day early in the morning, wait me to open a sock to

see, inside unexpectedly miraculously put a and I "yesterday" see exactly the

same magic wand! Santa, did you give it to me? Thank you so much!

This string of surprise is all brought by my "never met" you, you are

really "do good not to leave a name" ah!

Santa Claus, secretly tell you a little secret: at that time, I do not know

your identity. But now I know who you are. And through these years of

observation, in front of the answer to the riddle was also revealed by me. In

fact, you have been in my side! Today is Christmas again, I wish you:

Merry Christmas!

亲爱的圣诞老公公：

您好!

我叫杨悦，来自中国，我是一个活泼开朗的10岁小姑娘，希望您能喜欢我。

听着窗外那欢快的圣诞歌，看着那挂满七色彩虹一样炫丽彩灯的圣诞树，我的心中曾经产生过许多疑问：我们家没有烟囱，您又是从哪里进来给我送礼物的呢?难道您有什么特殊的魔力吗?

但我最想问您的是：“您为什么会知道我们想要的礼物呢?”记得有一年圣诞夜，我非常喜欢一根粉红色的魔法棒。在它粉色的杖杆上，镶着许多五颜六色的玫瑰，顶上还用白丝带围成了一个美丽的爱心。我爱不释手，非常想要。可是家长却坚决不同意给我买。我十分难过，心不甘情不愿地回了家。可是，第二天一早，等我打开袜子一看，里面竟然奇迹般地放着一根和我“昨天”见到的一模一样的魔法棒!圣诞老人，是您送给我的吗?真是太谢谢您了!

这一串串惊喜都是由我“从未谋面”的您带来的，您真是“做了好事不留名”呀!

圣诞老人，偷偷告诉您一个小秘密：当时，我还不知您的身份。可现在，我已经知道您是谁了。而通过这几年的观察，前面的谜底也一一被我揭开了。其实呀，您一直都在我身边!今天又是圣诞节了，祝您：

圣诞快乐!

There is no denying that the network is a double-edged sword. In todays society, network security has caused a lot of peoples attention. The impact of the Internet on todays society is still great. Is the network better than the disadvantages, or the disadvantages outweigh the benefits? This is a thought-provoking question. First of all, the network really brings people a lot of convenience. People do not walk out, but across the world. You can also shop online, chat online, listen to songs and so on. Due to the development of the network, one thorny problem comes one after another. For example, some people are addicted to the Internet and cannot extricate themselves. In reality, the number of cases of juvenile sudden death is not the Internet spy Yu, it caused people to pay great attention to network security. But it must be said that computers are a great invention, because they can almost find what they want to find on the internet.

But also because of its development, will die, many people are too excited to play, and always sleep in the ground. So, the Internet is scary. Network security has become a concern of many people, many people issued a sincere question: "how to use the network is safe?"" I think: who has a lot to do with self-control?. Because after tiredness, proper listening to songs can relax people. But some people are unrestrained play, which not only can not play the effect, but also make people more decadent beast, this does not violate his final wishes? Some businesses invented bloody games for their own interests, but they attracted large numbers of teenagers. Theyre just looking for excitement. But this makes their physical and mental health be affected, the mind began to distort, put the Buddha himself on the scene, thus unable to distinguish the actual situation. So the network is fictional, not enough. I think we should use the network to learn knowledge, from the data of shit.

But when we look at the data, it will pop up some boring advertising, which has a great impact on us, because we are confused and curious in adolescence. But that often causes us to fall off the cliff. When this is, we should ask teachers, parents and people who trust them to help. However, the network is also wonderful, looking at how we can benefit it. For example, we can email and chat with people from other countries. We dont have to worry about language barrier and cant chat, because there are translation software on the Internet, so we can learn foreign culture. But others are worthless, in many bad information online to mislead the thoughts of others.

So the network is a double-edged sword, can help a person, but can also destroy a person, see is how we use. There are many people who have weak awareness of network security, and give their numbers and addresses to strangers on the Internet, so that criminals have the opportunity to commit crimes, but this brings hidden dangers to their own security. There are people who take pictures of others (Chou Hua) sent to the Internet, not only to the right of the parties to the portrait, but also to fight other peoples personality, but we can also find this person through the network, and to inform him to defend their interests. All kinds of software on the Internet bring convenience to us, but also bring adverse effects. Network security still has a big impact. We should pay attention to the problems of network security. You should consult the materials so that you can get better protection. The advantages of science and technology development, but also brought unknown harm. The influence of network security is very important to the development of our physical and mental health, we should pay attention to it. Let us further explore the impact of network security. Create a better and more civilized world and make our motherland stronger.

My father, Winston Churchill, began his love affair with painting in his 40s, amid disastrous circumstances. As First Lord of the Admiralty in 1915, he was deeply involved in a campaign in the Dardanelles that could have shortened the course of a bloody world war. But when the mission failed, with great loss of life, Churchill paid the price, both publicly and privately. He was removed from the admiralty and effectively sidelined.

Overwhelmed by the catastrophe — “I thought he would die of grief,” said his wife, Clementine —he retired with his family to Hoe Farm, a country retreat in Surrey. There, as Churchill later recalled, “The muse of painting came to my rescue!”

Wandering in the garden one day, he chanced upon his sister-in-law sketching with watercolors. He watched her for a few minutes, then borrowed her brush and tried his hand. The muse had cast her spell!

Churchill soon decided to experiment with oils. Delighted with this distraction from his dark broodings, Clementine rushed off to buy whatever paints she could find.

For Churchill, however, the next step seemed difficult as he contemplated with unaccustomed nervousness the blameless whiteness of a new canvas. He started with the sky and later described how “very gingerly I mixed a little blue paint on the palette, and then with infinite precaution made a mark about as big as a bean upon the affronted snow-white shield. At that moment the sound of a motor car was heard in the drive. From this chariot stepped the gifted wife of Sir John Lavery .”

“ ‘Painting!’ she declared. ‘But what are you hesitating about? Let me have the brush — the big one.’ Splash into the turpentine, wallop into the blue and the white, frantic flourish on the palette, and then several fierce strokes and slashes of blue on the absolutely cowering canvas.”

At that time, John Lavery— a Churchill neighbor and celebrated painter— was tutoring Churchill in his art. Later, Lavery said of his unusual pupil: “Had he chosen painting instead of statesmanship, I believe he would have been a great master with the brush.”

In painting, Churchill had discovered a companion with whom he was to walk for the greater part of the years that remained to him. After the war, painting would offer deep solace when, in 1921, the death of the mother was followed two months later by the loss of his and Clementine’s beloved three-year-old daughter, Marigold. Battered by grief, Winston took refuge at the home of friends in Scotland, finding comfort in his painting. He wrote to Clementine: “I went out and painted a beautiful river in the afternoon light with crimson and golden hills in the background. Alas I keep feeling the hurt of the Duckadilly (Marigold’s pet name).”

Historians have called the decade after 1929, when the Conservative government fell and Winston was out of office, his wilderness years. Politically he may have been wandering in barren places, a lonely fighter trying to awaken Britain to the menace of Hitler, but artistically that wilderness bore abundant fruit. During these years he often painted in the South of France. Of the 500-odd canvases extant, roughly 250 date from 1930 to 1939.

Painting remained a joy to Churchill to the end of his life. “Happy are the painters,” he had written in his book Painting as a Pastime, “ for they shall not be lonely. Light and color, peace and hope, will keep them company to the end of the day.” And so it was for my father.

我的父亲，温斯顿·丘吉尔，在他四十多岁时开始迷恋上绘画，当时环境异常恶劣。那是在1915年，任海军大臣的他，积极投身于在达达尼尔海峡的一场战役中，这场战役本可以缩短那段血雨腥风的世界大战。但由于遭受失败，伤亡惨重，丘吉尔于公于私都付出了代价。他被从海军部调离且实则坐起了冷板凳。

在灾难的折磨下——他的妻子克莱门廷说：“我想他会痛苦而死，”——他携家带口来到萨利郡的一处乡间静居霍·华姆。在那儿，丘吉尔后来回忆道，“是绘画中的冥思拯救了我！”

一天他在花园散步时，偶然看到他的弟媳在用水彩作画。他观察了几分钟，然后向她借了画笔并一试身手。他的专注仿佛给他施了魔法！

丘吉尔很快就决定试试去画油画。看到他从阴暗的忧郁思中解脱出来，克莱门廷非常开心，她赶忙去买所有能买到的颜料。

然而，迈出下一步似乎有些困难，因为丘吉尔看到一块新画布的洁白无暇时感到无所适从和为难。他先从天空画起，后来他描述如何“非常谨慎地在调色板上加入一点儿蓝色调，然后以万分的小心，在这块被蓄意冒犯的雪白的防护板上点上豌豆大的一笔。这时，传来一阵驾驶机动车的马达声。约翰·拉威利先生才华出众的太太从这辆车中姗然而下。

“‘在画画呀！’她高声说着。‘可你还在犹豫什么呢？给我那支笔——那支头号的。’只见松油飞溅，她在蓝白颜料间挥毫泼墨，在调色板上龙飞凤舞，接着在吓得发皱的油画布上用力东戳西捣几下蓝色。”

那时，约翰·拉威利——丘吉尔的邻居，也是一位有名的画家—正教丘吉尔学画。后来提及他的这位特殊的学生，拉威利说：“倘若他选择绘画而不是从政，我相信他会是位绘画大师的。”

在绘画中，丘吉尔找到了能陪他度过余生大部分时光的知已。战后，在1921年，母亲刚去世两个月，他和克莱门廷就失去了他们深爱着的三岁女儿玛丽戈尔德，这时作画给了他一些安慰。在痛苦的打击下，温斯顿来到苏格兰朋友们的家中以求得安慰，用绘画来解脱自己。他在给克莱门廷的信中说：“我出外画了一条夕阳下美丽的溪流，背后映衬着晚霞的群山。唉，达克迪莉（玛丽戈尔德的昵称）使我的苦痛总是挥之不去。

史学家把1929年后的十年，也就是保守党政府垮台而温斯顿下台的时间，称为他的荒凉岁月。政治上，他一直在举步维艰的处境中徘徊，是一个孤独的勇士在努力唤起受到希特勒威胁的国人，但在艺术上他在那荒凉岁月却硕果累累。这些年他经常在法国南部作画。在现存的500多张油画中，大约250张是1930至1939年间的作品。

绘画给丘吉尔带来了乐趣直到他的人生尽头。在他所著的《画中的消遣》里说：“画家其乐融融，因为他们不会孤独。光与色，和平与希望，会始终伴随他们。”我父亲就是这样一个人。
