+ 加入清单一次不愉快的旅行
I went to Changsha for my holiday by train on the night of July 15th,2012. It was so hot in the carriage that many passengers wanted something to drink. Just then, a young man came to deliver water with a water jug in hand. "Water, water. Free water. "shouted the young man.
A middle-aged woman asked for a glass of water and was very grateful to the young man. But after a while, two tall and strong men came to charge her five yuan for that glass of water. The middle-aged woman looked at them and took out a five-yuan note from one of her pockets slowly. Without a word, she handed the note to one of them, her eyes being filled with anger.
The carriage was silent. The two men went away without any sense of shame. "Robbers!" someone said in a low voice.
This was really an unpleasant trip I have ever had!
2012年7月15日晚,我乘火车去长沙度假。由于天气很热,车厢里有很多乘客都想喝水。正好,一个年轻人提着水壶来送水。"水,水,免费供水。"年轻人大声嚷着。
一位中年妇女喝了一杯水,非常感激他。可过了一会儿,来了两个又高又壮的人向她要5元水钱。中年妇女看着他们,慢慢地从兜里掏出了5元纸币给其中一个人。她什么也没说,眼里充满了愤怒。
车厢里一片寂静。那两个人毫无愧色地走了。"强盗!"有人小声说道。

+ 加入清单Before Chinese students go to college, they have been told about the great
things on campus life all the time, so they have the motivation to study hard.
When they come to university, they begin to slow down their pace to study and
waste their youth.
Nowadays, a lot of college students lose motivation to move on when they
come to the new chapter of their life. Campus life seems to be relaxed and a
place to free themselves. Without the supervision from parents and teachers,
they choose to lose themselves in the computer games or all kinds of
parties.
So someone made the comment on campus life as the nursing house, which
satirized the students who wasted their precious time and youth to accomplish
nothing. It is the important stage for them to learn professional knowledge and
master skills, so as to be competitive and find their own place in the
world.
For a wise student, they make the plans and improve themselves all the
time. If we live the life as the old people in the nursing house, then it is
kind of committing suicide for a young person.

Today in China,many families have only one child.So the children usually doted upon by all family members.Gradually some of them get used to depending on their parents and lack the ability to solve problems independently.
There are some ways to help children to be independent.Firstly,the child should have a chance to see the world around him.He must understand that there are various competitions in this world,and everyone can find his right position in the society only by individual efforts.Secondly,the parents should give the child enough help to make him feel comfortable.Its impossible to ask a child not to depend on parents at once.A child needs help from the beginning.Without any help,the child may lose his faith.At last,parents should let his child make decisions,which can temper his ability to deal with problems.
No parents can accompany the children for the whole life.It is the child himself who is responsible for her own fate.Only an independent person can live and succeed in this world.
今日的中国,很多家庭都只有一个孩子.所以孩子往往成为全家人生活的焦点.有些孩子逐渐养成了依赖家长的习惯,从而导致他们缺乏自己解决问题的能力.
这里有几点可以帮助孩子变得独立.首先,孩子应当正式他周围的世界,每个人只有通过自己的努力才能在社会中找到他自己的位置.其次,家长应给予孩子足够的温暖让他感到舒适.不能要求每个孩子从不依赖父母.孩子需要一个起跑的平台.没有任何帮助,孩子或许会失去信念.最后,家长应让孩子做决定,如何依靠自己的能力解决问题.
没有父母可以陪伴孩子一辈子.决定自己的命运是孩子肩负的责任.只有独立的人才能在这个世界生活并取得成功. 关于独立的高中英语作文篇2
When I was very small, I was so envious about the adults, because they could do whatever they wanted and did not have to depend on their parents. For me, I did not have money and my parents limited my pocket money, so I couldn’t spend the money to buy whatever I wanted. It seems to me that being an adult is my only wish. Some day, I learned from the movie that being an adult was not that as perfect as I thought. In the movie, the man struggled to earn money to pay his bills, what’s more, he had to stay away from his family. Loneliness was always around him. To be independent means we can live our own way and make our own decision. We have more freedom. But at the same time, it also means more annoyance. So why just we enjoy this moment.
在我很小的时候,我很羡慕成年人,因为他们可以做任何他们想做的,不必依赖他们的父母。对我来说,我没有钱,我的父母限制我的零花钱,所以我无法花钱去买所有我想要的。似乎成为一个成年人是我唯一的愿望。有一天,我从这部电影中了解到,作为一个成年人也没有我想象中的那么完美。在电影中,那个人努力挣钱来支付他的账单,更重要的是,他不得不远离他的家人。寂寞总是是围绕着他。独立意味着我们可以有自己的方式生活,做自己的决定。我们有的自由。但与此同时,这也意味着的烦恼。所以为什么不享受这一刻呢。 关于独立的高中英语作文篇3
When we talk about being independent, we often think about leaving our parents and living alone. The mental independence is always ignored by people, mental independence means the person can measure the things and make the right decision. As for the children, even they move out and stay far away from their parents, but sometimes they just can’t control themselves, they will get the bad behavior, like smoking and drinking, their life is losing control. The young people need to cultivate their independent spirit, they should think by themselves, learn to take care of the other people, thus they can be the real independent. When a person grows up, they can be strong enough to support their lives and at the same time, they can be mature enough to make their own decision. They can tell what is wrong and what is right.
当我们谈到成为独立,总是想要离开父母,独自居住。精神上的独立总是被人们忽略,精神上的独立意味着一个人能衡量事情,做出正确的决定。对于孩子来说,虽然他们搬出去,远离父母,但是有时候他们无法自控,养成不好的习惯。比如抽烟和喝酒,他们的生活会失控。年轻人需要养成独立精神,他们应该自己思考,学着去照顾别人,这样才能真正的独立。当一个人成长了,他们才能够足够的强大去养活自己,同时,也能够足够成熟去做决定。他们能区分什么是好,什么是坏。
