The TV is more useful than the radio. On TV we can see and hear what is happening in the world. However, radio isnt lost. It is still with us. And listeners are becoming more. Thats because a transistor radio isnt lost. It is still with us. It is very easy to carry. You can put one in your pocket and listen to it on the bus or your bike when you go to work.

And my dream is to be an outstanding inventors, create world-famous super machine.

Super machine is the most advanced and most intelligent machines. This machine can do anything, can store all kinds of energy, and can be released at the right time. For example, when summer it was very hot, I can keep the heat absorption of the super machine into the machine, the outside air temperature is reduced, and when the day is cold in winter, my machine will vomit the quantity of heat inside, make my house warm. Not only can eat heat, my machine also can eat the thunder, when thunder on rainy days, I will put my machine to the outside, he can eat a lot of scary lightning, as energy storage in the inside, in the evening I let my superhero machine release electric lighting for us, for our cooking, provide we need electricity, not to mention enjoyment.

Superhero machine is not only powerful, but also very obedient. Whenever he drink enough to eat, he just like a lazy pig, drum belly slumber. Is really very cute, I want to let him like a pet with me every day, for I serve a lot of people, too. But my mother said to me, in order to realize my dream, will study hard and strive for my dream, from now on solid to learn scientific and cultural knowledge. Dont let the dream appears only in the dream, want to let my dream like a seed, germination, slowly grow, until he blossom, bruised fruit.

有的同学梦想成为游戏专家,玩最好的游戏,做最棒的高手;有同学想成为姚明叔叔一样的体育明星,为我们国家赢得荣誉;有的同学想成为赛车高手,驾驶最快的汽车。而我的梦想却是当一名杰出的发明家,制造出举世闻名的超极机器。

超极机器是最先进、最智能的机器。这种机器无所不能,能储存各种能量,并且能够在合适的时候释放出来。例如当夏天,天很热时,我的超级机器就能把热量吸进机器,把外面的气温降低了,而冬天天冷时,我的机器就把吃进去的热量吐出来,让我的屋子暖暖和和的。不仅能吃热量,我的机器还能吃雷电呢,每当下雨天打雷时,我就把我的机器放到外面,他能吃掉很多吓人的闪电,作为能源储存在里面,晚上我就让我的超能机器放出电来为我们照明,为我们做饭,为我们提供需要的电,别提多方便了。

超能机器不仅功能强大,而且还很听话。每当他吃饱喝足以后,他就像个懒惰的小猪一样,鼓着肚子打盹。真是可爱极了,我要让他每天像个宠物一样陪着我,为我也为很多人服务。 不过妈妈对我说,要实现我的梦想,就要好好学习,从现在开始为我的梦想而努力,扎扎实实的学习科学文化知识。不要让梦想只出现在梦里,要让我的梦想像一粒种子,慢慢发芽,茁壮成长,直到他开花,结出累累的果实。

篇11:关于失败英语作文小学

全文共 1313 字

As we all realized that every one of us will fail during our life. Take me

for an example, I fail in my exam. In fact, failure always does appear, which

also means that failure is a daily occurrence, however, when facing the failure,

different people have different attitudes.

Some people hold the view that failure is the meaning whenever they could

not be successful. Thus, if meeting with failure, they will feel so nervous that

they have no idea what they are supposed to do. As time goes by, they become

more and more dispirited while eventually, they could do nothing well.

On the contrary, there are some people tending to believe another idea.

From their point of view, failure is outstanding due to the fact that it can

give them plenty of encouragement. Therefore, if facing failure, they will be

quite courageous and then try their best to beat it, finally, they make their

dream come true.

From my perspective, failure is neither an excellent thing nor an

appreciating thing. Sometimes, it is capable to offer us with encouragement,

however, it can also make us unconfident now and then. Thus, if encountering the

failure, never could we be scared. What we should do is to face it bravely and

never give up.

In summary, I wish when failure appears, each one of us could confront with

it bravely and beat it, if possible.

篇20:中秋节小学生英语作文

全文共 2303 字

Moonquakes are to Mid-Autumn Festival what mince pies are to Christmas. The seasonal round cakes traditionally have a sweet filling of lotus seed paste or red bean paste and often have one or more salted duck eggs in the center to represent the moon. And the moon is what this celebration is all about. Mid-Autumn Festival falls on the 15th day of the 8th month,it is the time when the moon is said to be at its brightest and fullest.

There are two legends which claim to explain the tradition of eating moonquakes. One Tang Dynasty myth holds that the Earth once had 10 suns circling it. One day all 10 suns appeared at once,scorching the planet with their heat.

It was thanks to a skillful archer named Hour Yi that the Earth was saved. He shot down all but one of the suns. As his reward,the Heavenly Queen Mother gave Hour Yi the Elixir of Immortality,but she warned him that he must use it wisely.

Hour Yi ignored her advice and,corrupted by fame and fortune,became a tyrannical leader. Chang-Err,his beautiful wife, could no longer stand by and watch him abuse his power so she stole his Elixir and fled to the moon to escape his angry wrath. And thus began the legend of the beautiful woman in the moon,the Moon Fairy.

The second legend has it that during the Yuan Dynasty,an underground group led by Zhu Yuan Zing was determined to rid the country of Mongolian dominance. The moon cake was created to carry a secret message.

When the cake was opened and the message read,an uprising was unleashed which successfully routed the Mongolians. It happened at the time of the full moon,which,some say,explains why moonquakes are eaten at this time.

Moonquakes are usually stamped with Chinese characters indicating the name of the ry and the type of filling used. Some ries will even stamp them with your family name so that you can give personalized ones to friends and family.

They are usually presented in boxes of four which indicate the four phases of the moon. Traditional moonquakes are made with melted lard,but today vegetable oil is more often used in the interests of health.

Moonquakes are not for the diet-conscious as they are loaded with calories. The best way to wash down one of these sticky cakes is with a cup of Chinese tea,especially Jasmine or Chrysanthemum tea,which aids the digestion.
