中秋节之夜高一作文600字

像被一块大黑布遮住了一般,天渐渐黑了下来;我出了门,独自一人来到了一片空旷的地上坐了下来。周围的一切都变得十分安静,安静得我左边的这丛绿草消失了,眼前的居民楼消失了,后边的围墙消失了,一切的一切都不见了!

突然,一道亮光打破了周围的宁静,一切的一切又出现在我眼前,草丛里,几只不知名的虫子柔情地歌唱着,连啼哭的婴儿,都静下来听这动情的音乐,仿佛陶醉于其中。抬头仰望,一个纯洁无瑕、闪闪发光的,名叫月亮的大圆球,正挂在高高的空里。它仿佛一盏明灯,照亮着这世界的每一个角落。但又好似一位温文尔雅的少女,向大地轻轻地挥洒着银粉,大地瞬间换上了银色的新装。望着这轮象征着圆满、和谐的明月,我想起了张九龄的诗句:“海上升明月,天涯共此时。”想起了身在他方的亲人,不由自主的吟诵起了王维的《相思》:“红豆生南国,春来发几枝。愿君多采撷,此物最相思。”

手中拿着月饼,想像着与家人一起坐在地上,聊着家常事,有说有笑,真是一幅融洽的画面啊!让人多么惬意呀,多么幸福呀。我顿时心潮起伏,一股暖流涌上心头。

中秋之夜,月圆之美。我还沉醉在这柔软、和谐的月色之中……

篇1:高一英语作文_外表重要吗

全文共 1146 字

+ 加入清单

People always attach great importance on the soul, as the saying that beautiful soul overweighs everything, so in the movie, the everlasting theme is that an ugly girl wins the true love at last. Recently, a hot topic of discussing whether the girls’ outlook is important, the fact is that people reach their agreement that outlook really matters, if a person looks terrible, no one will like to make friends with him, let alone to know about him. In my opinion, beautiful soul is of great importance, but if people don’t make themselves look comfortable outside, no one wants to know his inside. We need to clear ourselves, it doesn’t mean we must make up, we should make ourselves look comfortable and confident, we should dress the tidy clothes and make our hair in order. People say outlook is not important, but it doesn’t mean we give up our outlook and let it look terrible.

人们总是赋予心灵很大的重要性,正如有句话说美丽的心灵胜过一切,因此在电影里,永恒的主题是一位长相难看的女孩最终赢得真爱。最近,关于讨论女孩的外表是否重要成为了热门话题,事实上,人们一致认为外表很重要,如果一个人看起来很糟糕,没有人会喜欢和他交朋友,更不用说去了解他。在我看来,美丽的心灵很重要,但是如果人们没有让自己的外表看起来舒服,没有人会想要了解他的内心。我们需要让自己看起来干净,这不意味着我们必须要化妆,我们应该让自己看起来舒服和自信,应该穿着整齐,发型不乱。人们说外表不重要,但是不意味着我们放弃外表,让自己看起来糟糕。

篇6:英语高一优秀作文100字

全文共 1662 字

+ 加入清单

The way people hold the belief that a fun-filled, pain-free lifestyle

equals happiness actually reduces their chances of ever obtaining real

happiness. If fun and pleasure are equal to happiness,then pain must be equal to

unhappiness. But in fact,the opposite is true: more often than not things that

lead to happiness contain some pain.

As a result,many people avoid the very attempts that are the source of true

happiness.They fear the pain inevitably (不可避免地) brought by such things as

marriage,raising children,professional achievement, religious commitment,

self-improvement.

Ask a bachelor why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be

less and less satisfying. If he is honest,he will tell you that he is afraid of

making a commitment,for commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is

filled with fun, adventure and excitement.Marriage has such moments,but they are

not its most distinguishing features.

Couples,with infant children, are lucky to get a whole nights sleep of a

three-day vacation. We dont know any parent who would choose the word fun to

describe raising children. But couples that decide not to have children ever

know the joys of watching a child grow up or playing with a grandchild.

Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun

is one of the most liberating realizations. It liberates time: now we can devote

more hours to activities that can really increase our happiness. It liberates

money:buying that new car or those fancy clothes to increase our happiness now

seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy:we now understand that all those

who always have so much fun actually may not be happy at all.

篇8:高一年级英语作文:Chinas traditional festivals

全文共 1828 字

+ 加入清单

The Chinese New Year has a great history. In our past, people lived in an agricultural society and worked all year long. They only took a break after the harvest and before the planting of seeds. This happens to coincide with the beginning of the lunar New Year.

The Chinese New Year is very similar to the Western one, rich in traditions, folklores and rituals. It has been said that it is a combination of the Western Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year. This is hardly an exaggeration!

The origin of the Chinese New Year itself is centuries old - in fact, too old to actually be traced. It is popularly recognized as the Spring Festival and celebrations last 15 days.

Preparations tend to begin a month before the date of the Chinese New Year (similar to a Western Christmas). During this time people start buying presents, decoration materials, food and clothing. A huge clean-up gets underway days before the New Year, when Chinese houses are cleaned from top to bottom. This ritual is supposed to sweep away all traces of bad luck. Doors and windowpanes are often given a new coat of paint, usually red, then decorated with paper cuts and couplets with themes such as happiness, wealth and longevity printed on them.

The end of the New Year is marked by the Festival of Lanterns, which is a celebration with singing, dancing and lantern shows.

At the Festival, all traditions are honored. The predominant colors are red and gold. "Good Wish" banners are hung from the ceilings and walls. The "God of Fortune" is there to give Hong Baos. Lion dancers perform on stage continuously. Visitors take home plants and flowers symbolizing good luck. An array of New Years specialty food is available in the Food Market. Visitors purchase new clothing, shoes and pottery at the Market Fair. Bargaining for the best deal is commonplace!

For thousands of years, physical activity has been associated with health. Today, science has confirmed the link, with overwhelming evidence that people who lead active lifestyles are less likely to die early, or to experience major illnesses such as heart disease, diabetes and colon cancer.

Exercise benefits every part of the body, including the mind. Exercising causes the body to produce endorphins, chemicals that lead a person to feel peaceful and happy. Exercise can help some people sleep better. It can also help with mental health issues such as mild depression and self-esteem. Plus, exercise can give people a real sense of accomplishment and pride at having achieved a certain goal - like beating an old time in the 100-meter dash. ﹒

Exercising can help you look better, too. People who exercise burn calories and look more toned than those who dont.

If a person eats more calories than he or she burns, the body stores them away as fat. Exercise can help burn these stored calories.

the products even get cheaper, customers always wait for the chance to pay the

lower price. It is said that as so many buy things on Bachelor’s Day, the

It is obvious to everybody that the only way to achieve ones goal is to work hard. Just as the old saying goes no mill, no meal. Have you ever seen a man who succeeds just by idling about? Of course, the answer is No. So we know if you want to gain something, you will have pains.

The farmers harvest by a year of arduous work; the scientists gain achievements by years of devoted researches; students get good marks by working hard; even the little ants have their food by working hard day and night. 1 know there are always some people who wait for the opportunities falling on them. They may attribute their failures to lack of good chances. Therefore, there are so many people gaining nothing at last. Clever men know that the more effort they make, the bigger chance they will have to be successful.

So, when others achieve their aspirations and you still gain nothing, dont complain about the unfair fate and dont give up, either. Remember: no pains, no gains.

The joyous Mid-Autumn Festival was celebrated on the fifteenth day of the

eighth moon, around the time of the autumn equinox(秋分). Many referred to it

simply as the "Fifteenth of the Eighth Moon".

This day was also considered as a harvest festival since fruits, vegetables

and grain had been harvested by this time and food was abundant. Food offerings

were placed on an altar set up in the courtyard. Apples, pears, peaches, grapes,

pomegranates(石榴), melons, oranges and pomelos(柚子) might be seen. Special foods

for the festival included moon cakes, cooked taro(芋头)and water caltrope(菱角), a

type of water chestnut resembling black buffalo horns. Some people insisted that

cooked taro be included because at the time of creation, taro was the first food

discovered at night in the moonlight. Of all these foods, it could not be

omitted from the Mid-Autumn Festival.
