As we all know, the environment around us is getting worse and worse. In some places we cant see fish swimming in the river or trees on the hills. Bird there is less and less fresh water in the world.Some people even have no clean water to drink. So I think we must do something to protect the environment. But what can we do? How to protect our environment? For example, we can go to school on foot or by bike instead of taking a car. We had better use shopping basketbets instead of plastic bags when we go shopping. We should use both sides of the paper when we write. Dot use paper cups. At our school dinning room, use our own bowls and chopsticks instead of disposable ones. We can reuse the water and save the electricity.In a word, if everyone pays more attention to ourenvironment, there will be less pollution and our life will be better.

"There is only one earth", I hope everyone will protect our environment well.

The leaves circled in the air and were written with a grateful movement, which was the trees thanks to the nourishment of the earth; the white clouds drifted in the blue sky and painted the picture of the sky, which was the blue sky Thanksgiving. Because Thanksgiving will have this colorful society, because Thanksgiving will have sincere friendship. Because thanksgiving let us know the true meaning of life - inscription

From the babys "wah-wah" to fall to nurture him grow up, parents spent a lot of effort and sweat, weaving the number of day and night; from primary school to junior high school, and even the number of teachers for his painstaking efforts , Quietly dedicated light and heat, burning their own, lit up others.

Thanksgiving is from the heart. As the saying goes, "dripping of grace, when the Yongquan phase reported." Moreover, parents, relatives and friends to pay you not only "a drop of water", but a vast ocean. Whether you handed a cup of warm tea after your parents were tired, handed a card on their birthday, and greeted and comforted them when they were lost. They often poured hard and energy for us, and why did we remember them Of the birthday, to experience their tired, and whether it is aware of the strands of silver, that trace of wrinkles. Thanksgiving need your heart to experience, to repay.

Thanksgiving is respectful. Marie Curie as a famous scientist, twice won the Nobel Prize, but she saw her primary school teacher at the meeting, with a bouquet of flowers to express her gratitude; great Mao Zedong also sent to the teacher in the holiday season Deeply grateful. Since ancient times the great man all have a grateful heart, grateful do not need to earth-shattering, just need your greeting, a call, a trace of emotion.

Thanksgiving is meaningful. Love to keep the world spinning. Parents pay far more than the mountains, than the sea deep, and as we only know rice to mouth, clothing to reach out. And it seems that there is a separate zone, let us become selfish, forget the parents have to pay, forget that the sound of happiness, learn to appreciate others is their own conscience, a filial piety, because it will have Harmony, there is happiness, there is respect between each other.

With a grateful heart, to look at the community, look at their parents, look at friends and relatives, you will find yourself how happy, let go of your mind, so start falling rain to wash your mind pollution. Learn to be grateful because it will make the world a better place and make life more fulfilling.

Since we go to school, we are taught that no pain, no gain, it means that

if people want to be successful, they must work hard. But the truth is that not

everyone can get what they want, even they work hard so much, but if working

hard does not bring success, why should they still need to work hard. In my

opinion, working hard doesn’t mean the person can success certainly, success

needs more factors, like the time, the luck and other things. There is no doubt

that if the person does not work hard and fight for his goal, there is no way

for him to get what he wants. Some actors start their career at the very young

age, when they are also 40, they become famous suddenly, if they give up, they

can’t be waiting for their reputation. So working hard, there is much chance to

get succeed.

我叫张中豫，“中”取自“中庸”，“中庸”是儒家的道德标准。爸爸想让我待人接物中正平和，不偏不倚。“中”在河南话里是“好”的意思，“豫”是河南的简称，一看就知道我是河南人。

我还是一员足球小将。去年暑假，妈妈给我报了一个足球培训班。在足球场上，我找到了生活的快乐。我没有说过一声累，叫过一声苦。如果我与对方球员撞在一起摔倒了，我眼都不眨一下，爬起来继续战斗。经过刻苦地努力，我的球技突飞猛进，颠球已经远远超过了十个。我经常观看足球频道，学习顶级球员的球技，并熟记于心。特别是梅西的外脚背射门，更让我敬佩。梅西在球场上用的是左脚，恰好我最擅长的也是左脚，我会在奔跑中用右脚虚晃一招，骗过守门员。在右脚把球轻轻地送给左脚的时候，用左脚的外脚背来一脚大力抽射，球在空中划出一道美丽的弧线，直奔对方球门死角。现在我的球衣也换成了梅西的10号，就连球鞋也是梅西喜欢的颜色。我非常希望我们学校成立一个足球队，这样我就可以为我们学校出战。

我崇尚自由，我的爱好很广泛。打乒乓球，唱歌，读课外书……。以后，我会继续锻炼身体，好好学习，健康成长。

——题记

刚来这个班时，我第一个遇见的是你，我因为不会叠被子，而你却在寝室里像妈妈一样的帮助我，那时，我就有点喜欢你了。

当你让我当你的英语课代表时，我就毫不犹豫的答应了。因为你不仅年轻，长得也很清纯，并且还有一颗少女心。

可惜，时间长后，我发现我厌恶你了。

教学方式不好，单词好写错，知识点没讲全，我感觉我的英语快要死了，每天都和一些成绩好的同学们在背后说你的不好，真是越想越烦，可惜没人敢对你说你的不好，我们大家都很纠结。看着你脸上的微笑，我不禁有点觉得虚伪，心里也在郁闷的滴血。

直到有一天，你喊我出去谈话，心平气和的跟我说：我是不是讲的不好啊，同学们好像不喜欢我，我们俩好像也不像以前那莫默契了。我才终于把我想说的话终于说了个遍，老师和我聊了许久，我感觉心暖暖的，原来老师也在纠结这个问题，可是每天还装着心情很好来上课，不想打扰大家的情绪。老师原来也会换位思考，身为权威的老师，却向我请教，这要有多大的勇气啊。我的脑海突然想到老师认真起来得模样，想起她的书上全是密密麻麻的笔记。

直到现在，我已经爱上你了。喜欢你上课时轻松的气氛，不像语文老师的迅速激昂；数学老师的严肃安静；物理老师的紧张费神。而是轻松愉快。喜欢你甜美的声音，让人专注；喜欢你可爱的模样，让人发笑；喜欢你认真的态度，让人钦佩。

我有时都搞不懂你，每天下三你都会准时来到，一坐坐一节课，即使整节课没一人写英语作业，你也会想办法挤点时间让大家学英语，教育差生，或者说默默坐在椅子上改听写。你很乐观，即使我们班英语不是很好，你也总是失落会就会满血复活。你很年轻，所以你课后总会和我们打成一片，很懂我们的心思，同学们也会把心里真实的想法告诉你，而不告诉别的老师。你很努力，即使独自一人站三节课，嘴里也在抱怨很累，但精神总是那么饱满，仍拼命地站着，讲着。你有点傻，当班主任把体育老师的课给你时，你总会把可爱的笑容露出来，说什么班主任很贴心，难道多给你奖钱吗？你上了那么多节不累吗？你不想休息吗？你不怕同学们埋怨你吗？你就是这么傻，愿意奉献自己。

可爱的你，给了我很多机会，让我能够好好学习英语；每天都不厌其烦的指点我，开导我，在我危难时，也会伸出援助之手，你很信任我，所以我不会让你失望。

可爱的你，请一直微笑，因为我会和你在一起。谢谢你，谢谢你带给我可爱的温暖。

Good afternoon,honorable judges. I am glade to be here for this interview. First let me introduce myself to you. My name is **, 23. I come from zhengzhou, the capital of Henan Province. I will graduate from the Central South University in july this year.

After four years’ extensive training in science and engineering with a focus on microbiology and biotechnology in the last one and a half years, I am fully absorbed in biology and their various novel applications. Driven by my interest and capacity in these areas, I would expect myself to be a senior professional in 10-15 years time, working as either a faculty member in a university or a researcher in some institute.

Having realized that such a goal would require much more knowledge than what I have acquired, I am determined to pursue graduate study in a best university. The origination of my interest dates back to my senior high school year when I attended an intensive but interesting course given by the biological teacher on general biology. My interest was reinforced when I had the opportunity to participate in some research projects in the Central South University. In May, 2003, I began working with prof.Zhou to do research on microbial treatment processes for the nitrogen removal in wastewater. I participated in the separation method of nitrifier and denitrifier (chemolithoautotrophic bacteria, very small colony, grows slow, have the same color with the culture medium) and do some research on their Physiology characteristics.

I have been consciously strengthening my research ability by teaching myself advanced knowledge including microbial physiology, microbial statistics. Through these projects, I have not only learned many practical techniques but also acquired a solid theoretical background and a broad scope in scientific research in my fields of interest. Despite the intensive curriculum, I have always kept an eye on a broader world outside.

As a member of the CSU-Students Union, I’ve improved my communication and cooperation skills through some meaningful activities. It has become clear to me that a good academic environment can play a very important role in my pursuit of excellence. I believe pursuing a Master’s degree at CSU, would be a most reasonable extension of my academic pursuit and a major step forward toward my career goal.

一个古老的传说，诞生了一个美丽的节日，七夕东方情人节，牛郎织女的传说。下面小编搜集了七夕文化英语作文，希望对大家的写作有所帮助!

The Double Seventh Festival, on the 7th day of the 7th lunar month, is a traditional festival full of romance. It often goes into August in the Gregorian calendar.

This festival is in mid-summer when the weather is warm and the grass and trees reveal their luxurious greens. At night when the sky is dotted with stars, and people can see the Milky Way spanning from the north to the south. On each bank of it is a bright star, which see each other from afar. They are the Cowherd and Weaver Maid, and about them there is a beautiful love story passed down from generation to generation.

Long, long ago, there was an honest and kind-hearted fellow named Niu Lang (Cowhand). His parents died when he was a child. Later he was riven out of his home by his sister-in-law. So he lived by himself herding cattle and farming. One day, a fairy from heaven Zhi Nu (Weaver Maid) fell in love with him and came down secretly to earth and married him. The cowhand farmed in the field and the Weaver Maid wove at home. They lived a happy life and gave birth to a boy and a girl. Unfortunately, the God of Heaven soon found out the fact and ordered the Queen Mother of the Western Heavens to bring the Weaver Maid back.

With the help of celestial cattle, the Cowhand flew to heaven with his son and daughter. At the time when he was about to catch up with his wife, the Queen Mother took off one of her gold hairpins and made a stroke. One billowy river appeared in front of the Cowhand. The Cowhand and Weaver Maid were separated on the two banks forever and could only feel their tears. Their loyalty to love touched magpies, so tens of thousands of magpies came to build a bridge for the Cowhand and Weaver Maid to meet each other. The Queen Mother was eventually moved and allowed them to meet each year on the 7th of the 7th lunar month. Hence their meeting date has been called "Qi Xi" (Double Seventh).

Scholars have shown the Double Seventh Festival originated from the Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD220). Historical documents from the Eastern Jin Dynasty (AD371-420) mention the festival, while records from the Tang Dynasty (618-907) depict the grand evening banquet of Emperor Taizong and his

concubines. By the Song (960-1279) and Yuan (1279-1368) dynasties, special articles for the "Qi Xi" were seen being sold on markets in the capital. The bustling markets demonstrated the significance of the festival.

Today some traditional customs are still observed in rural areas of China, but have been weakened or diluted in urban cities. However, the legend of the Cowhand and Weaver Maid has taken root in the hearts of the people. In recent years, in particular, urban youths have celebrated it as Valentines Day in China. As a result, owners of flower shops, bars and stores are full of joy as they sell more commodities for love.

在我国,农历七月初七的夜晚,天气温暖,草木飘香,这就是人们俗称的七夕节,也有人称之为“乞巧节”或“女儿节”,这是中国传统节日中最具浪漫色彩的一个节日,也是过去姑娘们最为重视的日子.

在晴朗的夏秋之夜,天上繁星闪耀,一道白茫茫的银河横贯南北,争河的东西两岸,各有一颗闪亮的星星,隔河相望,遥遥相对,那就是牵牛星和织女星.

相传在很早以前,南阳城西牛家庄里有个聪明.忠厚的小伙子,父母早亡,只好跟着哥哥嫂子度日,嫂子马氏为人狠毒,经常虐待他,逼他干很多的活,一天,天上的织女和诸仙女一起下凡游戏,在河里洗澡,牛郎在老牛的帮助下认识了织女,二人互生情意,后来织女便偷偷下凡,来到人间,做了牛郎的妻子.男耕女织,情深意重,他们生了一男一女两个孩子,一家人生活得很幸福.但是好景不长,这事很快便让天帝知道,王母娘娘亲自下凡来,强行把织女带回天上,恩爱夫妻被拆散.

牛郎上天无路,还是老牛告诉牛郎,在它死后,可以用它的皮做成鞋,穿着就可以上天.牛郎按照老牛的话做了,穿上牛皮做的鞋,拉着自己的儿女,一起腾云驾雾上天去追织女,眼见就要追到了,岂知王母娘娘拔下头上的金簪一挥,一道波涛汹涌的天河就出现了,牛郎和织女被隔在两岸,只能相对哭泣流泪.他们的忠贞爱情感动了喜鹊,千万只喜鹊飞来,搭成鹊桥,让牛郎织女走上鹊桥相会,王母娘娘对此也无奈,只好允许两人在每年七月七日于鹊桥相会.

七夕乞巧,这个节日起源于汉代,东晋葛洪的《西京杂记》有“汉彩女常以七月七日穿七孔针于开襟楼,人俱习之”的记载,这便是我们于古代文献中所见到的最早的关于乞巧的记载.后来的唐宋诗词中,妇女乞巧也被屡屡提及,唐朝王建有诗说“阑珊星斗缀珠光,七夕宫娥乞巧忙”.据《开元天宝遗事》载：唐太宗与妃子每逢七夕在清宫夜宴,宫女们各自乞巧,这一习俗在民间也经久不衰,代代延续.

直到今日,七夕仍是一个富有浪漫色彩传统节日.但不少习俗活动已弱化或消失,惟有象征忠贞爱情的牛郎织女的传说,一直流传民间.
