Life, watching TV dont turn it off, dont turn off the light when you go out, is a waste of energy. In the campus, after class, students litter, eat the food bag is full. You know, it is full of pollution?

Speaking of which, I thought of his hometown river. Past, shadow of the trees such as on the green grass like the sea. But now, people in order to build a house, cut away the trees on the Banks of the river, pull out of the bank of the soil, hollow out the Cumberland river. So, one to the rainy season, flood river flooded river on both sides of the green crops, the stream sobbing, green in the sigh. People, this is not in oneself life?

Now that you know the importance of environmental protection, low carbon, so, we all will move together!

随着科技的发展,“低碳”这个名词就在我们生活中常常出现。可是,我们真得做到低碳了吗?在马路上,车子到处都是,排放的尾气污染空气。生活中,看完电视不关机,出去时不关灯,正在浪费能源。在校园里,下课后,同学们乱扔垃圾,吃完的食品袋到处都是。你知道,这全是污染吗?

说到这,我想到了家乡的小河。昔日,河岸边绿树如荫,绿禾如海。可是现在,人们为了盖房子,砍走了河岸上的树木,拉光了河岸的泥土,挖空了河坎。于是,雨季一到,泛滥的河水淹没了小河两岸翠绿的庄稼,小河在呜咽,绿色在叹息。人们,这不是在自戕生命吗?

既然大家知道了环保、低碳的重要性,那么,我们大家就一起动起来吧!比如:随手关灯、少开汽车多骑车、在马桶水箱里放两个瓶子、每天节约一滴水。你别看这些都微不足道,可是大家一起做的话,那可不是微不足道了!听了我的介绍,你是不是已经想节约,过低碳生活了呢?那大家一起环保吧!

什么是“低碳生活”呢?带着这个疑问,我来到了绍兴科技馆,里面图文并茂地展出了许多关于“低碳生活”的图片,其实,所谓的“低碳生活”就是减少二氧化碳的排放,选择健康地生活,我们每一个球人都应该从节约资源开始做起。

What is "low carbon life"? With this question, I came to the Shaoxing science and Technology Museum, which displays many illustrations of "low carbon life" picture, in fact, the so-called "low carbon life" is to reduce carbon emissions, to choose a healthy life, we each ball people should start from the conservation of resources.

首先从节约用电开始说起吧,发电会消耗许多的能源,像我们这里是用烧煤来发电的,这样就会污染环境。所以平时冰箱里要少存放食品,用完电器后要及时拔掉插座,把家里的白炽杰换成节能灯等。

First, from the conservation of electricity to start, power will consume a lot of energy, like we are burning coal to generate electricity, it will pollute the environment. So usually the refrigerator storage of food less, run out of time after pull out the electrical socket, the home of the incandescent, replaced with energy-saving lamps etc..

其次,我们出行时要少开车,多坐公交车和骑自行车,这样可以大大减少二氧化碳的排放。保护了环境,减少了雾霾的产生,更能有效防止地球变暖后,北极的冰川融化,涨平面升高等。

Secondly, when we travel to drive less, take the bus or riding a bicycle, which can greatly reduce carbon dioxide emissions. To protect the environment, reduce haze, can be more effective to prevent global warming, polar melting glaciers, rising levels of higher.

最后,我们还要节约用水,洗涮时要少用清洁剂,减少水的污染,生活用水要做到一水多用,比如洗脸水可以用来冲厕所,淘米水可以用来浇花等

Finally, we need to save water, wash to use less detergent, reduce the pollution of water, living water to do water use, such as washing water can be used to flush the toilet, washing water can be used to water the flowers.

总而言之,“低碳生活”的方式有很多,少用一次性的碗和筷子,用环保袋来代替塑料袋,用手帕来替代纸巾。

To make a long story short, "there are a lot of low carbon life", use less disposable bowls and chopsticks, use environmental protection bags instead of plastic bags to replace the paper towel, handkerchief.

地球只有一个,需要大家共同的爱护,走近低碳,让世界更加灿烂。

I always dream about returning to the past. As many people say, childhood

is the happiest and easiest time in one’s life. Children show you their true

emotions.

They know what is compassion and what is tolerance better than adults.

In their world, all real thoughts are presented.

They may easily have different opinions with others, but they never

understand what is animosity.

They enjoy making friends but they never think about making social

communication net. Every child talks from the bottom of his heart without evil

plans hidden and never intrigues against each other.

Only in children’s way can adults make our life simple, more real and more

enjoyable.

I wish everyone’s heart would keep as innocent and lovely as they ever did

in their childhood. Then, the walls between our hearts can be broken down and

the world would be a better place to live in.

A Polluted Environment

Environmental pollution is a serious social problem. It poses a terrible threat to men’s health.

The atmosphere is filthy. The air is thick with dust and burnt oil. Dark smokes are being emitted from chimneys, and choking fumes are being

released from numerous vehicles. Stay a little while in a big city, then wipe your forehead with your handkerchief, it is black. Hang out your

washing on the line to dry, you will have to wash again. Garbage is left to accumulate in unsanitary heaps that attract flies and give off bad smell.

Nor is the pollution confined to air and land. Large quantity of sewage and chemical waste are dumped daily into rivers, lakes and the sea,

which kills millions of fish. Noises coming from honking cars, rumbling machines and broadcasting loudspeakers may make a person nervous and

irritable, even drive him crazy.

Environmental pollution is responsible for many diseases that are disabling, or bringing death to human beings.

In short, let’s take good care of our mother globe, not only for the well-being of ourselves, but also for that of our future generations.

Nowdays, with the rapid development of the road, cars have been playing an increasingly important role in our day-to-day life. It has brought a lot of benefits but has created some serious problems as well. Traffic safety as the most importent one, is closely related to everybodys business.

This phenomenon exists for a number of reasons . Some of the accidents are due to mechanical problems. As the vehicles in the road become common, the function of vehicles has improved and the speed is getting faster. However, most of them are the results of careless and reckless driving, which could not be avoided. A lot of people disregard traffic signals and rules. They drive regardless of speed limits, run through red lights, drive in the wrong direction, talk and laugh while driving, and turn at will without giving signals. They even dont slow down while approaching crossroads. So many people violate traffic regulations that we cannot put too much emphasis on the importance of traffic safety. Meanwhile, we can not ignore the fact that there are many problems existing in the design. They are all important reasons accounting for this phenomenon.

Some effective measures must be taken to slove this problem. The major cause for traffic accidents is people’s lack of safety awareness. Completing a safety driving education course is a very important way to reduce the number of traffic accidents. The key point for this issue is people’s awareness towards safety. It is a long-term goal rather than a single course for safety driving. The best way to solve the troubles is that we all abey the traffic rules. First, we cant get through red light and must observe traffic order. Secondly, tell our relatives not drive after drinking. Then, we should be care about road damage and inform relevant departments to solve the problems early. Finally, an active part in social activities, protect our order society! Another measure is improving the traffic condition by add traffic signal and other traffic safety facilities。Only when everybody takes traffic safety as their own business, can we achive safe driving and walking on road.

Last but not least, I hope we can have a good futere , and I believe we can do it!

Today, I saw a cartoon: a logger in his axe in his hand cut down a tree, his side with a woodpecker pecked him on the head, think theres a bug in his mind.

The picture from the Angle of the woodpecker exposes human for their own interests at all costs and make things, also warned us: if we dont pay attention to protect the natural environment, our every bit of damage to nature will eventually fall on our heads.

In fact, our lives are like the loggers in the cartoon. For example, in the corridor of the school, the playground, we often can see be knead into a ball of paper and some paper planes did not write a word. They were only the foot on the ground, they are homeless. A complete book, being ripped and torn, so little. This is book that students who do not know to save. Without a rubber wipe after they write a typo, but directly pull down, knead into a ball casually, so resolved, regardless of the consequences of abuse.

If everyone in the world to protect the environment, then the world will be more beautiful! We also learned a few words: be gentle with the earth is to yourself; Save the earth is to save the future. Human in the destruction of the earths environment and hurt himself, at the same time, as long as we change, protect earths environment is to protect yourself. Lets join together to love the earth, love of the natural environment! Let us hand in hand for the beauty of the earth to create a green home!

今天,我看见了一篇漫画:有一个伐木工拿着斧头在砍树,他的旁边有一只啄木鸟不停地啄着他的头,认为他的脑子里有虫。

这幅漫画从啄木鸟的角度揭露了人类对为自己利益不惜任何代价而做出的事,同样也告诫我们:如果我们不注意保护自然环境,我们对大自然的每一点伤害终究会降临到我们头上。

其实,我们的生活中也有像漫画中的伐木工那样的人。比如说:在学校的走廊上、操场上,我们常常都能看到被揉成一团的纸团和一些一字未写的纸飞机。它们在地上被无数只脚踩,它们无家可归。一个完整的本子,被人撕了又撕,就这样所剩无几了。这都是那些不懂得节约的同学的大作。他们写错字后不用橡皮擦擦,而是直接扯下来,揉成一团随便一扔,就这么解决了,不顾后果地滥用。

如果世界上所有人都保护环境,那么世界将多美好啊!我们也学了几条名言:善待地球就是善待自己;拯救地球就是拯救未来。人类在破坏地球环境的同时也在伤害着自己,只要我们换一换,保护地球上的环境就是保护自己。让我们一起加入到热爱地球,关爱自然环境的行动中来吧!让我们手拉手为地球创造一个绿色的美好的家园吧!

Waking up on New Year, everybody dresses up. First they extend greetings to

their parents. Then each child will get money as a New Year gift, wrapped up in

red paper. People in northern China will eat jiaozi, or dumplings, for

breakfast, as they think "jiaozi" in sound means "bidding farewell to the old

and ushering in the new". Also, the shape of the dumpling is like gold ingot

from ancient China. So people eat them and wish for money and treasure.

Southern Chinese eat niangao (New Year cake made of glutinous rice flour)

on this occasion, because as a homophone, niangao means "higher and higher, one

year after another." The first five days after the Spring Festival are a good

time for relatives, friends, and classmates as well as colleagues to exchange

greetings, gifts and chat leisurely.

China has 56 ethnic groups. Minorities celebrate their Spring Festival

almost the same day as the Han people, and they have different customs.
