以外国人对中国的印象为话题的英语作文（通用20篇）

俗话都说：“绿水青山就是金山银山。”或许，我们有了金山银山，但是我们却失去了绿水青山，这同样也是一笔宝贵的财富。

当城市街头高大的树木被霓虹彩灯代替时，当那绿油油的草地被高楼大厦代替时，当那清澈见底的溪流被私人泳池代替时，绿水青山这笔宝贵的财富就已失去!

现在地球已经被彻底污染，如果，我们不醒悟，不去努力保护环境，那么我们就会彻底失去这一片绿水青山!彻底失去绿水青山也就等于我们彻底失去了地球，这个我们生存已久的家园!

现在时代在进步，科技在发展，或许很多人都会认为就算地球毁灭，我们也可以去其他的星球，这种想法简直就是异想天开，是的，科技的确在发展，但是科技发展的速度永远赶不上人类毁灭地球的速度!而我们集现在全世界的科技发展的能力，环绕地球一圈用火箭最大的能力展开搜索，没有发现一个适合我们人类居住的星球，也就是说如果地球真的毁灭，那么我们人类也会毁灭!所以请大家行动起来：

1、节约用水，或许大家在家里都会这样做，因为要交水费，但是公共场合水龙头的水，却总是未关紧，虽然公共场合的水费并不需要我们交，但是我们任然要节约用水!

2、绿色出行，我们要少用私人轿车，多用公交车或者自行车，方便时还可以走路，这样不但环保而且有利于身体健康!

虽然这只有俩点，但是我相信如果大家都很好的做到了这俩点，那么我们这个生存已久的家园一定会重现往日的灿烂辉煌!

每次遥望星空，我都会梦想自己穿了件白色宇航服在太空上行走，探索着人类没有解开的奥秘。

从“东方红”到“神八”中国的航天技术已迈出了很大的一步。1999年到2002年，中国的“神舟”一次次地震撼着人们。2003年“神舟五号”发射升空，中国第一艘载人飞船在太空中遨游。2005年，聂海胜和费俊龙两个人的身姿展现在茫茫太空中。

2007年中国第一艘探月卫星“嫦娥一号”在西昌发射，直冲云霄，上下五千年的“奔月”梦终于实现了!2011年神舟八号与天宫一号对接，表明着中国离建造“太空家园”又近了一步。在月球上行走，去水星、火星上建造太空家园，建造大型太空站，发现更多的星球……让梦想成为现实，这就需要我们去发现、去努力。我曾经有一个梦想——成为宇航员，跟着飞船一起去一望无际的宇宙探索奥秘，欣赏美丽的星系、星球景象。

如今我们认真学习，正为自己的梦想奋斗着。学好各种知识，长大后成为一名真正的宇航员，为祖国探索奥秘，解开谜团，贡献力量。同学们，我们一起努力吧!

今天，我阅读了一本《美丽中国美好家园》这本书。地球是我家，关爱靠大家，地球是我们人类至高无尚的母亲，她无私奉献，毫无怨言的哺育着我们，给了我们美如画的山山水水，星罗棋布的湖泊，大片的森林，辽阔的大草原，肥沃的黑土地，众多的奇花异草，鸟兽鱼虫，丰富的地下宝藏我们生活在这个美好的世界，大家应该爱护它，保护它，让它变得更美丽。

近年来，人类由于对环境不够珍惜，随心所欲，各种环境问题接踵而至：森林退化，沙尘暴扬，水土流失，火灾频发空中烟囱林立，浓烟滚滚，河中死鱼漂荡，污水滔滔;地上垃圾遍布，废渣成堆在当今如火如荼的经济建设的浪潮中，为建设美丽中国，实现中国梦，保护地球势在必行，因为我们只有一个地球，她的空间是有限的，资源也是有限的。为了今天，也为了明天，为了自己，也为了建设美丽中国这个梦，我们应该爱护我们的家园，关心我们赖以生存的地球，从我做起，用实际行动回报地球母亲。

我们只有珍惜他们，才能让欢笑声保持着，让我们的美好生活保持着，才会让我们的社会经济更上一层楼。如今不堪负重的地球，我觉得现在有些人都在依靠一个人清理垃圾的老奶奶，每次吃完东西就把垃圾扔在大街上，等她们来扫。有些人就直接往河里扔，过桥的时候，四周臭气熏天，十分不好闻。

每年，我们国家都要砍掉许多树木来制造纸和木筷子还有一些日常用品，这样一来，不仅浪费了树木，还浪费了许多资源。所以，我们要保护地球，保护家园。共建生态文明，共享绿色家园。

I love clean thing, it sounds good for me. But the thing is that I cant bear the dirty environment around me, I am very picky about the environment. I need to make some change, I must get used to the normal situation. So I learn to wash the dirty clothes and do some dirty work. It is hard for me but I start to get over my weakness.

我喜欢干净的东西,这对我来说似乎是好事。但问题是,我不能忍受我周围的环境是脏的,我很挑剔环境。我需要做出一些改变,我必须习惯正常的情况。所以我学着去洗脏衣服,干一些肮的活。这对我来说是困难的,但我开始克服我的弱点。

The weather was so nice that the weather had been deliberately given a sunny day, and xi an jis composition.

After breakfast, we set out to see the Terra Cotta Warriors. Just look at the parking lot and know how many people have come today.

The terracotta warriors witnessed the process of the great qin dynasty from weak to strong and from prosperity to decay. When the qin dynasty collapsed, the terracotta warriors continued to stand in this world, the time did not change its face, the loess did not extinguish its British qi. Every clay figure is lifelike, as if there are life, the bright eyes of the eyes staring at you, as if telling you the legend of that era. It is no wonder that it is possible to unify the six countries with such a sophisticated division.

I stared at these "soldiers" and had to marvel at the magnificence of the great qin dynasty, the grandeur of a burial pit, the grandeur of the mausoleum and the palace of the qin dynasty. At this point, I noticed that the "soldier" hair decoration was different, and I knew that it was a hierarchical symbol of qin dynasty. I finally understand that the royal family life is so luxurious, it is no wonder that so many people can kowtow to the throne and sell themselves for glory. It is no wonder that the people are suffering from the insurrection of insurrection. "Overindulgence will only lead to ruin", and the great qin dynasty was destroyed by luxury because of its military power.

When I left, I looked back, and these "soldiers" still fascinated the world with their own style.

To pay respects to the remains of the ancestors

In the afternoon, we went to the xi an banpo museum. The scorching sun hit the ground hard, but couldnt stop our enthusiasm. Every channel was filled with heads, and I followed the team to see the remains of the ancestors.

In the museum, even if you listen carefully, it is not easy to find the objects that are being explained, because there are so many objects here, dazzling and dazzling, the composition of xi an ji xing.

I cant help but marvel at the amazing things that human beings created over six thousand years ago. Its "amazing" to describe them in one word. Its hard to imagine how they were struggling to learn how to grow vegetables and livestock, how to learn to make bows, javelins, fishing forks, and even learn to make spinning spins of spinning wheels. Squeezed into the crowd, through the glass, I looked at the six thousand years ago, the spinning wheel, it is like a big stone ma money, slightly damaged, there are many scratches in the center of a hole, several other surface is very smooth. It condenses the diligence and wisdom of the forebears, and the simple, rough exterior cannot conceal its inner solemnity and deep. Almost all the POTS are painted with colorful paintings, such as running deer, birds, fish, people, etc. Some of the pottery had symbols on it, and the narrator said that was the rudiment of Chinese writing. The ruins of the half-slope also unearthed a clay figurines portrait, which is rich and rustic, with a vivid expression and a strong sense of life.

After that, I saw the bones of the half-slope man. Some buried in clay POTS, some buried directly, after more than six thousand years, the best preserved, and only a bit of bone printing. There is only one thing that makes me very confused. Almost all of them are very small. Later, the explainer said that two-thirds of the people in the half-slope had died in their early years, and only a third had survived to adulthood. If so, its understandable. It is conceivable that people at that time faced how severe, harsh environment! Their lives are gone, but their endless wisdom and hard work will be passed on forever.

[对西安的印象英语作文

The hair style of high school students has been a controversial issue for many years. The prescribed plain short hair may look tidy, but the insistence on the hair length below the ear lobe in the case of girl students, which is fixed at one centimeter or at most two, is quite unnecessary. Until recently, the Mayor of Tainan had tried to persuade the Ministry of Education to give the high schoolers the carte blanche to determine their own hair styles. It is difficult for us to say if the idea is right or wrong. So far as I am concerned, problems of the young are not confined to such a small matter as hair style; what matters is the reinforcement of the students＇ moral consciousness, the way they should behave, and the like. The length of their hair or whether they have the right to give it a permanent wave is relatively unimportant. Cleanness and neatness is what really matters. There is hardly anything that stays unchanged all the time. Why doesn＇t the concerned authority reconsider this hair business? Maybe the bickerings that sour the relations between the military instructors and their students will therefore be gone. By the way, to improve one＇s appearance is nothing wrong, is it? We all expect to see a new look of the young. Maybe a change in the concerned authority＇s policy toward the high schoolers＇ hair style will bring this about.

Every Chinese, who experienced 1980s, will remember forever the day November 6th 1981 when the China National Womens Volleyball Team defeated the Japan National Team (the so-called "Toyo Women Magic") with 3 to 2 at the 3rd World Womens Volleyball Cup in Osaka Japan. Thats the first world title for China Womens Volleyball Team. Everyone was shocked by this news. At that time, China had just been out of the "Cultural Revolution". When the news was broadcasted, people burst into joyful tears.

Their victory was the result of all the former volleyball players effort. In 1965,a famous coach of Japan was invited to China to help train the China National Womens Volleyball Team. Seeing both the players conscientious and spirit and the support from the Chinese people, he exclaimed, "Im sure that the China National Womens Volleyball Team will become strong!"

In 1982, the China National Womens Volleyball Team won the gold medal again at the World Womens Volleyball Championships in Peru under the leadership of Yuan Weimin.

In August 1984, the China National Womens Volleyball Team defeated successively the Japan National Team and the US National Team with 3 to 0, and won the gold medal again at the 23rd Olympic Games, which realized the "Triple Crown" dream at the world matches. The pride head coach of Japan National Team said, "Defeating China National Team is equal to block the Yangtze River. Both are impossible." The American coach said, "I hope our children will play basketball as well as the Chinese girls."

The elder players gradually retired after 1985. Then Lang Ping, the World No.1 Spiker at that time, was named the captain. She and her teammates went to Japan to join in the 4th World Cup, and won the title for the 4th time without losing any match.

Two years later, the China National Womens Volleyball Team came to the 14th World Womens Volleyball Team Championships. Though the famous players, such as the "Iron Girl" Cao Huiying, the "Iron Hammer" Lang Ping, the "Wall of Tian An Men Rostrum" Zhou Xiaolan, and the "Quick Attacker" Zhang Rongfang, had retired, the Chinese girls still won the gold medal by their strength and wisdom. The "Penta Crown" shocked the world. What a miracle!

The "Penta Crown" is not only a great honor, but also an ever spur. It has become the spirit of the China National Womens Volleyball Team. At present, the China National Womens Volleyball Team has become a symbol of striving and competing in Chinese peoples hearts.

As the fast development of other countries volleyball career, the China National Womens Volleyball Team had lost parts of their advantages for a period. In early 1995, Lang Ping, the former core player of the "Penta Crown" team, became the head coach of the Chinese National Team. Though its very hard to train these young players in such a short time, she made it. The China National Womens Volleyball Team won the bronze medals at the 7th World Cups at the end of 1995. Then they won the silver medals at the Atlanta Olympic Games in 1996, and the gold medals at the 13th Asian Games in 1998. The China National Womens Volleyball Team became the No.1 in Asian again. Whats more, they made a greater miracle at the Athens Olympic Games in 2004. These young girls defeated the rival in a very disadvantaged situation and won the gold medals finally, which were the bestaffirmation for their previous hard work.

Along with Reform and Opening up Policys carrying on and the Spirit of the National Womens Volleyball Team, volleyball had spread in all parts of China. You can find people playing volleyball everywhere, not only in the residential areas and the countryside, but also in schools and factories. The Beijing 2008 Olympic Games render a nationwide movement of body-building in China. Meanwhile, it serves more chances for the sports events development including the volleyball in China.

The Great Wall of China

The Great Wall of China is called the "Ten-thousand-Ii Great Wall" in Chinese.In fact, its more than 6000 kilometres long. It winds its way from west to east, across deserts, over mountains, through valleys till at last it reaches the sea. It is one of the wonders of the world.

The Great Wall has a history of over twenty centuries.The first part of it was built during the Spring and Autumn Period. During the Warring States Period, more walls were put up to defend the borders of the different kingdoms. It was during the Qin Dynasty that the kingdom of Qin united the different parts into one empire. To keep the enemy out of his empire, Emperor Qin Shi Huang had all the walls joined up.Thus, the Great Wall came into being.

The Great Wall is wide enough at the top for five horses or ten men to walk side by side. Along the wall are watchtow-ers, where soldiers used to keep watch. Fires were lit on the the towers as a warning when the enemy came.

It was very difficult to build such a wall in the ancient days without any modern machines. All the work was done by hand. Thousands of men died and were buried under the wall they built. The Great Wall was made not only of stone and earth, but of the flesh and blood of millions of men.

Today the Great Wall has become a place of interest not only to the Chinese but to people from all over the world.Many of them have come to know the famous Chinese saying: "He who does not reach the Great Wall is not a true man."

中国的长城

中国的长城汉语中常叫作“万里长城”。实际上它长6 ooo多公里。它从西到东，穿过沙漠，越过高山，跨过深谷，蜿蜒而行，最后直到海边。它是世界上的奇观之一。

长城有两千多年的历史。最早是在春秋时期开始修筑的。战国时期，各诸候国为了保卫自己的边境，分别修筑了更多的城墙。在秦朝时，秦国把各诸侯国统一起来，成为一个帝国。为了御敌于国门之外，秦始皇令人把所有的城墙连接起来。这样，长城就形成了。

长城上面很宽，足够五匹马或10个人并排而行。沿城墙有许多烽火台，过去常有士兵驻守。敌人来时，就点燃烽火，以通知其他士兵。

没有任何现代机器，要修筑这样一座长城是非常困难的。所有的工作都不得不用手来完成。成千上万的人死了，被埋在自己修建的城墙下面。长城不仅是用石头和土筑成的，而且也是用数以百万计的人的血肉筑成的。

今天，长城不仅对中国人，而且对来自全世界各地的人们来说都是一处名胜。其中许多人都已知道这句中国名言：“不到长城非好汉”。

Companionship of Books 以书为伴(节选)

A man may usually be known by the books he reads as well as by the company

he keeps; for there is a companionship of books as well as of men; and one

should always live in the best company, whether it be of books or of men.

A good book may be among the best of friends. It is the same today that it

always was, and it will never change. It is the most patient and cheerful of

companions. It does not turn its back upon us in times of adversity or distress.

It always receives us with the same kindness; amusing and instructing us in

youth, and comforting and consoling us in age.

Men often discover their affinity to each other by the mutual love they

have for a book just as two persons sometimes discover a friend by the

admiration which both entertain for a third. There is an old proverb, ‘Love me,

love my dog.” But there is more wisdom in this:” Love me, love my book.” The

book is a truer and higher bond of union. Men can think, feel, and sympathize

with each other through their favorite author. They live in him together, and he

in them.

A good book is often the best urn of a life enshrining the best that life

could think out; for the world of a man’s life is, for the most part, but the

world of his thoughts. Thus the best books are treasuries of good words, the

golden thoughts, which, remembered and cherished, become our constant companions

and comforters.

Books possess an essence of immortality. They are by far the most lasting

products of human effort. Temples and statues decay, but books survive. Time is

of no account with great thoughts, which are as fresh today as when they first

passed through their author’s minds, ages ago. What was then said and thought

still speaks to us as vividly as ever from the printed page. The only effect of

time have been to sift out the bad products; for nothing in literature can long

survive e but what is really good.

Books introduce us into the best society; they bring us into the presence

of the greatest minds that have ever lived. We hear what they said and did; we

see the as if they were really alive; we sympathize with them, enjoy with them,

grieve with them; their experience becomes ours, and we feel as if we were in a

measure actors with them in the scenes which they describe.

The great and good do not die, even in this world. Embalmed in books, their

spirits walk abroad. The book is a living voice. It is an intellect to which on

still listens.

How to learn English well

English is important and useful to us. How can we learn it well? Here are my suggestions.

First, we should often listen to the tapes, English songs and programs. Watching English movies is also helpful to us. Second, we should speak English in class as much as possible. Dont be afraid of making mistakes. The more you speak, the fewer mistakes youll make. Wed better join the English club and practice with others. Third, we can read more English newspapers and magazines. Its good for us. At last, we should recite some good passages and keep diaries.

In a word, as long as we do more listening, speaking, reading and writing, we will learn English well.

The word "discovery" literally means, uncovering something thats hidden from view. But what really happens is a change in the viewer. The familiar offers comfort few can resist, and fewer still want to disturb. But as relatively recent inventions such as the telescope and microscope have taught us, the unknown has many layers. Every truth has geological strata, and you cant have an orthodoxy without a heresy.

The moment a newborn opens its eyes, discovery begins. I learned this with a laugh one morning after delivering a calf. When it lifted up its fluffy head and looked at me, its eyes held the absolute bewilderment of the newly born. A moment before it had the even black nowhere of the womb, and suddenly its world was full of colour, movement and noise. Ive never seen anything so shocked to be alive.

“发现”一词，字面上是指揭开某种视线以外的隐藏的事物。不过其实是观察者自身发生了变化。很少人能抗拒熟悉事物带来的舒适，愿意扰乱这种舒适的人更少。然而，正如望远镜、显微镜这些较为近期的发明所揭示给我们的，求知事物具有多种层次。每个事实都有地质层次，没有异端也就无所谓正统。

新生儿睁开双眼的那一刻起，发现也就开始了。我是在一天清晨给一头小牛犊接生的时候突然意识到这一点的，不禁大笑。小牛仰起毛茸茸的脑袋看着我，目光中透出这个新生命对世界的一无所知。片刻这前，它还呆在母体里某个黑暗而平静的地方，突然，它的世界变得五光十色，变得活泼而喧闹。我从未见过任何东西在获得生命时是如些的惊异。

导语：互联网成为我们生活中不可或缺的一部分，同时它也是一把双刃剑，需要我们正确对待，下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的互联网利弊作文，欢迎阅读与借鉴，谢谢!

Nowadays, Internet is becoming very popular in all walks of life. On the one hand, statistics show that the number of people who apply to have access to Internet doubles every six months. On the other hand, Internet is employed in business, government agencies, and educational sections.

Internet brings us a both advantages and disadvantages. The advantages are as the following. Firstly, we can communicate with our friends more rapidly and quickly. Secondly, Internet brings us fun. For example, many websites open chatrooms where we can talk with different people and make new friends. Finally, many businessmen are taking so|called E|business seriously on the net.

The Internet also has its disadvantages, just as a coin has two sides. In the first place, some people may linger too long on the net while neglecting their work or study. In the second place, some columns on the net may have a negative influence on the youth electronic commerce.

In my opinion, Internet becomes an integral part of our lives, but it is certainly not everything. Living in the 21st century, we need to make good use of the new tool-Internet, but it is just a tool, not life itself. We should not depend on it too much, nor should we ignore it deliberately.

如今，互联网正变得非常流行，各行各业。一方面，统计数字显示，申请上网的人数每六个月增加一倍。另一方面，互联网被用于商业、政府机构和教育部门。

互联网给我们带来了优点和缺点。其优点如下。首先，我们可以更快更迅速地与朋友交流。其次，互联网给我们带来乐趣。例如，许多网站打开的聊天室里我们可以与不同的人交谈，交新的朋友。最后，许多商人都在这么|称|业务严重的网。

互联网也有它的缺点，就像硬币有两面一样。首先，有些人在网上逗留太久而忽视了工作或学习。第二，网上的一些栏目可能对青少年电子商务产生负面影响。

在我看来，互联网成为我们生活中不可或缺的一部分，但它不是一切。生活在第二十一世纪，我们需要好好利用互联网的新工具，但它只是一种工具，而不是生活本身。我们不应该过分依赖它，也不应该故意忽视它。

Dear Mike,

How are you? I’m really glad that you are interested in traditional Chinese

festivals. There are many traditional festivals in China, such as Spring

Festival, Mid-Autumn Day and so on. I’d like to introduce the Spring Festival to

you. Spring Festival is the most important traditional holiday in China. It

usually lasts for 15 days.

Days before the festival, people clean their houses. They think cleaning

sweeps any bad luck. They decorate their houses with paper cuts. On the eve of

the festival, family members get together and have big meals. Then they watch

the Spring Festival Gala on TV. At midnight, they set off fireworks to welcome

the New Year. During the festival, kids get lucky money from old people. People

visit their relatives and friends. They wish each a happy year and good luck.

How happy we are.

Best wishes!

Yours,

Liu Wei

Years ago, when I started looking for my first job, wise advisers urged, "Barbara, be enthusiastic! Enthusiasm will take you further than any amount of experience." How right they were. Enthusiastic people can turn a boring drive into an adventure, extra work into opportunity and strangers into friends."Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm," wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson. It is the paste that helps you hang in there when the going gets tough. It is the inner voice that whispers, "I can do it!" when others shout, "No, you can’t."

It took years and years for the early work of Barbara McClintock, a geneticist who won the 1983 Nobel Prize in medicine, to be generally accepted. Yet she didn’t let up on her experiments. Work was such a deep pleasure for her that she never thought of stopping.We are all born with wide-eyed, enthusiastic wonder as anyone knows who has ever seen an infant’s delight at the jingle of keys or the scurrying of a beetle.

It is this childlike wonder that gives enthusiastic people such a youthful air, whatever their age.At 90, cellist Pablo Casals would start his day by playing Bach. As the music flowed through his fingers, his stooped shoulders would straighten and joy would reappear in his eyes. Music, for Casals, was an elixir that made life a never ending adventure. As author and poet Samuel Ullman once wrote, "Years wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul."

How do you rediscover the enthusiasm of your childhood? The answer, I believe, lies in the word itself. "Enthusiasm" comes from the Greek and means "God within." And what is God within is but an abiding sense of love — proper love of self (self-acceptance) and, from that, love of others.Enthusiastic people also love what they do, regardless of money or title or power. If we cannot do what we love as a full-time career, we can as a part-time avocation, like the head of state who paints, the nun who runs marathons, the executive who handcrafts furniture. Elizabeth Layton of Wellsville, Kan, was 68 before she began to draw. This activity ended bouts of depression that had plagued her for at least 30 years, and the quality of her work led one critic to say, "I am tempted to call Layton a genius." Elizabeth has rediscovered her enthusiasm.We can’t afford to waste tears on "might-have-beens." We need to turn the tears into sweat as we go after "what-can-be." We need to live each moment wholeheartedly, with all our senses — finding pleasure in the fragrance of a back-yard garden, the crayoned picture of a six-year-old, the enchanting beauty of a rainbow. It is such enthusiastic love of life that puts a sparkle in our eyes, a lilt in our steps and smooths the wrinkles from our souls.

A boy went to a shop and bought a pencil and other things. When he was going to pay the bill, he took out his wallet and found he had not enough money to pay. He felt awkward. At that moment, an old man who was in charge of the shop smiled and said to the boy that he could give the rest of the money next time. The boy was so shocked, as the old man trusted him so much. When the boy went home, he remembered it all the time. So the next morning, when he passed the shop, he gave the money without hesitation. Integrity is priceless and decides who we are.

一个男孩去了一家商店买了一支铅笔和其他东西。当他要付钱的时候，发现钱包里的钱不够支付。他觉得很尴尬。在这个时候，这位管理商店的老人笑了笑，对那个男孩说他可以下次再给剩下的钱。男孩很震惊，老人竟然那么信任他。这个男孩回家后，他一直记得这件事。所以第二天早上，在他经过商店时毫不犹豫的给了老板钱。诚信是无价的，也决定着我们是怎么样的人。

Many people, especially young college students, like pop songs. They hum small tunes all the way to their schools and seem to be never tired of this. Some of them are even mad about pop songs, rocknroll in particular. They shout and shout until their voices become hoarse.

Others will submerge themselves in the romance of the love songs, with tears streaming down their cheeks. Despite such popularity of the pop songs, however, some people dismiss such kind of songs as crude and worthless. They hold that these songs are easy to sing and they are usually characterized with simple tunes which lack variety and depth. Based upon this, they say that pop songs should not have gained such popularity. Whereas many others stick to pop songs. Their lives seem to ha dull without songs.

In my point of view, pop songs should not be banned. True, their tunes are simple and sometimes repetitious, but this is not to say that they are of no artistic value. Folk songs are also quite simple in tune but no one could dismiss them as trash songs. There is no denying that some pop songs are equally excellent. Why? Because they are widely sung and widely remembered. For example, "Yesterday" is of high artistic value. No one can deny its beautifulness in tune. Of com-se, there are bad songs that will not last long, but pop song fans will give these songs their due by choosing to sing them or not.

Recently we had a class meeting on the topic of My Chinese Dream. Inspired by President Xi’s Chinese Dream, everyone talked enthusiastically about his understanding of the Chinese Dream. We all believe that this dream will come true in the future.

I also talked about my own dream. I have always wanted to be a doctor. Not only can doctors save people’s lives but also they are doing a respectable job. Doctors can also help people to live a better life with their professional knowledge.

To realize my dream, I must try to work hard from now on. I must learn as much as I can so that I can get into a good medical college, where I can prepare myself adequately for the job of a doctor. Only in this way can I accomplish my goal.

假如我是一只鸟，平生只歌唱一次，也要歌唱中国的美丽。题记

中国的文化真不简单。从先秦时期的文化到汉代的儒学，从唐诗宋词到明清小说;从《离骚》的《长门赋》;从老舍到以前的李白，从《红楼梦》到《白鹿原》，从李清照到徐志摩;从《周易》到《老子》中国人特有的那一份乡愁，流淌在五千年的岁月中;那一抹情怀，闪耀在世界历史的长河中。它，成了多姿多彩又富有民族特色的东方文化。

中国的科技真不简单。不说火药造纸术，印刷术和指南针这四大发明，也不说《本草纲目》《天工开物》《水经注》《梦溪笔谈》这些享誉全球的著作。单说新中国成立后科技的发展，都让世界为之惊叹，从神舟一号到十号，中国人几千年的飞天梦都成为了现实。

中国的军事真不简单。以前在别的国家的眼中，中国只是一个弱小的国家。而今，她正在越来越强大，现在航母的下水，成为了维护领土完整维护祖国尊严的强有力的后盾。

中国的经济真不简单。在短短的几十年间，中国发生了翻天覆地的变化，从以前低矮的平房到如今的高楼大厦，从以前的耕牛到现在的机械化设备;从以前的蒸汽火车到现在的民航高铁。中国制造正在走向全世界，展开她的魅力。

我庆幸，我们有一个强大的祖国，她正在飞速发展，日新月异。

中国是那么了不起，那古老的文明，崭新而富有朝气。那么我们更应脚踏实地，饱学知识为祖国的腾飞而起增添羽力。

我爱这土地，中国，你真不简单。

“Try and try until you succeed.” This saying shows the importance of perseverance, I have found in my experience that only through hard work can we succeed. Many people have failed in their work or studies, precisely because they had no perseverance Life, in general, as in many things we do has never been easy. No one promised us what it would be.

So, if we want to succeed in life, we must be brave to win. The standard that differentiates people who succeed in life and those who dont is perseverance.
