kinds of activities. Though students from different countries have different

ways to spend high school time, they make the decision and take charge of their

最近关注的一个公众号每天都更新一篇新概念英语的课文，课文下面还有文章里应该掌握的语法，然后还有具体的翻译，每天都会准时更新。有好的意见还可以告诉小编。

以前的英语老师也给我们抄过新概念英语，每周一篇，必须背的。现在看着公众号的文章，能有印象的很少，都忘记了。忘记的还有以前老师的名字。

已经三年了，其实有些想念以前的英语老师。她对我们很好，我们也都喜欢她，每隔一周老师就会给我们放英文电影，看电影的同时还能学学口语和发音。

老师上课的时候也很认真，语法讲的也很详细，以前的英语笔记我现在也保存着，厚厚的一本，也可以算是我的宝典了吧，老师每讲一课单词，都会拓展，每周周三和周五是固定的考单词的日子，老师会叫两名同学在黑板上写，每桌写一次，如果座位上的同学抬头看了黑板就不用继续考了，就直接补考，老师的补考就是晚自习的时候在走廊里听写。

虽然她要求的严了一些，但是那段时间我的英语成绩确实很好，只要跟住老师，英语成绩就不会差，后来老师因为教的好，被别的学校挖走了。

不知道她现在怎么样，如果我看见她的话，一定会大声喊“英语老师！”

导语：说起新疆，你想到的是什么?下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的优秀作文，欢迎阅读与借鉴，谢谢!

Turpan is located in a depression with the area of more than 1000 square kilometers of the eastern part of Xinjiang and some 80 meters below the sea level. And nearby the Moon Lake， or Eding Lake in local language， the lowest water surface is 154 meters below the sea level， the second lowest continental point in the world after the Dead Sea. Turpan is called the Land of Fire， which was derived from the intense summer temperature， the highest ever recorded was 47.5oC and in summer the ground surface temperature is about 70oC. The Depression is characterized by high temperature and rare perspiration， so it is hot but it is not wet， during summer， although it is extremely hot， the streets are full of people.

The water from the surrounding mountains and underflow nourishes the depression. And the local people developed a unique irrigation system: ”Karez”， by which water is introduced to the agricultural oasis surrounded by desert. Turpan is famous for its grapes produce. Once in Turpan Depression， one has a feeling that as if he was in a land of grapes， The Grape Gauge， about 8 kilometers in length， is one with grapevines grown on the slopes of the both sides， and deep into the Gauge， there is a tourist resort， shaded by grapevines and from late June to early October， clusters of grapes hanging overhead and the mineral water flowing from under the rocks make the resort a great attraction. In fact， the city proper itself is one that is surrounded or covered by grapevines. Many streets themselves are vineyards or trellises with grapevines， together with the fruit stands the whole city is a mixture of the fruit orchard and market， since 1990， the Grape festival held in the city becomes a great attraction not only to business people， but people from all over the world.

In history， Turpan was the capital of ancient Gaochang Kingdom (from the sixth century) and later the administration residence of Xizhou. It was a very important juncture on the Silk Road through which the western cultures and Chinese culture encountered and crashed and exchanged. A great many historical sites and cultural relics have remained. And the city is known as a “natural museum of man and culture.

The major tour sites of the area of the Northern Part of South Xijiang centered by Turpan: the Flaming Mountains， the Moon Lake， Grape Gouge， Karez System， the Ruins of ancient City of Jiaohe， the ruins of ancient City of Gaochang， Bezeklik Thousand Buddha Caves， Emin Minaret， Astan-Kharakhoja Tombs， Sand Dune Park， the Sand Plant Park.

Sky blue, white clouds, there is a lake, the lake side, there are several willow willow girl gently stroked the lake brothers cheek. From a few bird crow, originally is the orioles singing in the willows; In the distance, several egrets fly in the blue sky. as du fu "two oriole sound cui willow, a line of egrets on the sky." Ah! What a beautiful artistic conception! Now most people aspire to the living environment, but with the development of the industry, a large number of harmful gas and industrial wastewater discharge, make the earths temperature, water pollution. Plus deforestation, forest is less and less, and the earth mother in tears every day, so were going to action, and low carbon environmental protection together, let the earth mother no longer cry, to return to the beautiful youth.

NO. 1 - dont be lazy, blindly now peoples environmental protection consciousness enhancement, everywhere the bin in the street, as long as more than a few steps you can see it so dont be lazy oh! Do this, move the brain, and also note the rubbish to see garbage is recycled or not in his hand, and then throw. Dont see someone is thrown on the ground, throw myself, dont learn others, should be timely dissuade him (her).

NO. 2 - to save water, protection of water resources is well known, "water is the source of life". The water on the earth is very rich, but it can directly for people to drink fresh water accounts for less than 1%, the rest of the 99% water, so we have to economize on water. On the basis of this, but also reduce the discharge of industrial and living sewage.

NO. 3, energy conservation and emissions reduction, low carbon life

We should pay attention to energy saving, solar terms, fuel-efficient, start from the intravenous drip, as far as possible to reduce electricity, oil, gas, reduce the use of disposable supplies, go out, in their own cars less as far as possible by bus, reduce the discharge of domestic water and garbage. We must learn to energy conservation and emissions reduction, low carbon life.

NO. 4 - trees

The "lungs of the earth, the forest is one of natures temperature regulator. Forests absorb large amounts of carbon dioxide during photosynthesis and release a large amount of oxygen, maintaining the carbon - oxygen balance of nature, thus purify air environment, make us breathe fresh air, so we want to afforestation more, make the earth green.

Low carbon environmental protection is every citizen to do your own thing, left everyones participation and support, and low-carbon environmental protection is meaningless. Lets erase carbon footprint will low carbon environmental protection, let us hand in hand into the low carbon era.

天蓝蓝的，白云悠悠，有一个湖泊，湖泊旁有几棵柳树，柳姑娘轻轻抚摸着湖水弟弟的脸颊。不时传来几声鸟啼声，原来是黄鹂在柳树上鸣叫;远处，有几只白鹭飞上蓝天。正如杜甫绝句中“两个黄鹂鸣翠柳，一行白鹭上青天。”啊!多么美的意境呀!现在人们大多向往这样的生活环境，但随着工业的发展，大量有害气体和工业污水排出，使地球温度升高，水资源污染。再加上滥砍乱伐，是森林少而又少，地球妈妈每天都在流眼泪,所以我们要行动起来，一起低碳环保，让地球妈妈不再哭泣，重回青春美丽。

NO.1----不要偷懒，盲目从众现在人们的环保意识已经增强，在大街上随处可见垃圾箱，只要多走几步就能看见它因此不要偷懒噢!做到了这一点，还要注意扔垃圾的时候动一下脑子，看手上拿的垃圾是可回收还是不可回收，然后再扔。不要看见有人随手扔在地上，自己也扔，不要学别人，应及时劝阻他(她)。

NO.2----节约用水，保护水资源众所周知，"水是生命之源.地球上的水资源很丰富，但能直接供人饮用的淡水占还不到1%,其余的99%为海水，所以我们要节约用水。在这一基础上，还要减少排放工业，生活污水。

NO.3----节能减排，低碳生活

我们要注意节电,节气，节油，从点滴做起，尽可能减少电，油，气的使用，减少使用一次性用品，出门尽量少开私家车，多坐公交车，减少家庭用水和垃圾的产生量。我们要学会节能减排，低碳生活。

NO.4----植树造林

“地球之肺”--森林是大自然的温度调节器。森林通过光合作用吸收大量的二氧化碳并释放出大量的氧气，维持了大自然的碳—氧平衡，从而净化空气环境，使我们呼吸新鲜空气，因此我们要多植树造林，使地球绿意盎然。

低碳环保是每个公民自己的事，离开了每个人的参与和支持，低碳环保就是一句空话。让我们抹去碳足迹将低碳环保进行到底，让我们携手走进低碳时代。

Dear Nate,

I am so excited to hear that you will come to learn Chinese in our school.

Now let me tell you something about our school. Our school is the key school of

our city with the most beautiful campus. It has many trees, flowers and a lot of

grass. We have two very nice and teaching buildings and a dormitory building. In

addition, the school is well-equipped with excellent equipment, such as a new

gym, a computer room and a large library. There are also a lot of electives to

choose from, such as painting, typing and cooking. Above all, there are many

excellent teachers in our school. Classes are interesting, the teachers are

kind, well-educated and knowledgeable and willing to help students in study as

well as in life. I like my school very much. I hope you will like it, too.

Yours sincerely

Daniel

The importance of English rests with the language being used in most countries in the world as a communicating tool. For example, a German and a Chinese cant speak opposite sides language, but they both know English. And then there is no problem between their language communication. We must know the importance and learn the language earnestly.

The key to learn English well is to recite words. Words are the bricks of language building.Only keeping them in our mind, can we master them. To learn English well,we need to listen more English broadcast and contact with more foreingers so that we can practise our listening comprehansion. Only in this way, can we study for the purpose of application.

Today, when I awaked up, I found the air-conditioner didn’t work. I used the control, but it still didn’t work. I knew the air-conditioner was in trouble. I went downstairs. My father told me two air-conditioner and two netputer had been broken. Because my father used electric making machine to make electric, so the voltage was not stable. It led to the trouble. Oh! Whenever the government will let the factory use electric? If it lasts longer, I will be crazy!!

选修课(Selective Courses) This term our school laid down a new rule about selective court. For the first two weeks, we may sit in as many classes as we like before we decide on which courses to choose. We jumped for joy. The first week I attended classes for four evenings on end and found out that most of the teachers took it serioualy. They were busy in "winning votes" for fear, that later on no one would attend their lectures.

For example, the teacher of Modern Literature of Taiwan said, "Actually the flrst two hours of my lecture were only a prelude. The real contents have not been involved. In the furore, we shall discuss such famous writers as Qiong Yao, Xi Murong, etc, and such famous aetresses as Lin Fengjiao, Lin Qingxia etc. We have lots of vedio-taped films to watch. These are confined only to those who co-major in this court." See, after all, the last sentence is the core of everything he said.

The teacher of Appreciation and Critics of Modern Opera said, "We have a variety of contents and the teaching method is changable. For instance, l may choose one act from a play and let you perform it in class. If you do a good job, you can put on the play at the school theater festival. Also, we shall arrange for you to watch current plays. The school is in charge of the traffic and tickets, Of course, only those who co-major this course are eligible." You see, the most important thing comes at last through twists and turns.

"In the sound of firecrackers, the spring breeze warms Tu su." In the sound

of firecrackers again and again, we have successfully entered 2020, but in this

year, something unexpected happened - the discovery of a new type of coronavirus

in China. Now, more than 10000 people have been infected with the virus, which

has eclipsed Asian lions

But the virus didnt make us shrink back: when we learned that the epidemic

in Wuhan was extremely bad, many angels in white immediately gave up their

holidays and asked for their orders to go to Wuhan and choose to be a rebel.

Zhong Nanshan was one of them. In 2003, he was ordered to fight against SARS, 17

years later. In 2020, he came to the front again to fight against the new type

of pneumonia. He is 84 years old. He should have enjoyed life at home happily,

but he still sticks to the front line of anti epidemic. Like him, other doctors

and nurses give up the time of reunion with their relatives, fight against the

disease, eat the simplest instant noodles, and fall asleep when they are tired

at any place. They are all the most beautiful reversers. As the saying goes, no

matter what time is quiet, only someone is carrying a load.

Besides them, of course, volunteers have also made great contributions.

Many capable people donate money to Wuhan, such as masks and protective

clothing. A large number of rescue teams went to Wuhan to fight against the new

pneumonia. It is said that if one side is in trouble, all sides should support

it. On January 24, a non-woven fabric enterprise in a town had bright lights,

and the enterprise was putting full power into the production of masks. In order

to meet the needs of the epidemic, the workers who should have taken the leave

gave up the Spring Festival holiday and resolutely returned to work. The factory

director said the workers returned to work three times their wages, ensuring

240000 masks a day and providing materials for medical staff.

Everyone admires beauty. Everyone has his own standard about beauty.

Nowadays some people tend to think that they own beauty if they have a good

looking. They are not satisfied with their appearance. They spend much money

taking a kind of operation. Can beauty really be man-made? If so， everybody can

get beauty. As a result， there is no beauty at all.

The appearance is given by our parents and is unique in the world. Everyone

should value it. Id rather prefer nature as the standard of beauty. Just accept

yourself， accept everything the god gives to you， and create the beautiful life

belong to you.

Many heroes dont have beautiful surface. However， their beautiful images

often come to our minds. Their beauty comes from their contributions to the

society.

Dont be eager to judge whether a person is beautiful or not without a

thorough understanding of him. A beautiful person is not the one with a good

looking， but with a broad and kind heart.

Good looking is pleasant while spiritual beauty is more important. As an

old saying goes， “ Virtue is fairer than beauty. ” If you have a kind heart， you

own real beauty.

The generation gap is unavoidable in almost every family, which brings

about a number of conflicts in a family. In my opinion, to limit the bad effects

of the generation gap, each family should use the following three methods:

First of all, it is important that family members discuss openly about

their pleasures or sadness in childhood in family gatherings. This activity does

not only create a close relationship but also help build up understanding among

all members. For instance, once children are aware that their grandparents and

even their parents did not have a good upbringing during their hard childhood,

they will stop complaining about the previous generations’ obsoleteness. In the

meantime, once old people realize young people are nurtured in a new modern way,

it is easy for them to be tolerant of young people’s new habits or hobbies.

Secondly, people of each generation should not develop a very high feeling

about themselves. In order to do that, they should not think that they are the

only right people in their family because each person has his or her own

limitations. Teenagers would realize that their parents have to struggle with

pain to support them financially, and they would stop rebelling their

strictness. Parents would realize that their children’s new style does no harm

to their studies and stop imposing their own unsuitable standards on their

children.

Finally, the generation gap and its bad effects can be limited if all

members cooperate to build up a close-knit family relationship and a harmonious

atmosphere in which they are open and tolerant of each other. I strongly believe

that each family, by doing that, can enjoy a cozy atmosphere with minimum

interference by the generation gap.

Today was Saturday, early in the morning, I woke up and stayed at home the whole morning to watch TV. After finishing my lunch, I had nothing to do, so I decided to call my friends out. I headed to the coffee shop which was near a square.

There were a lot of people in the square, some women were dancing and singing, while some men were taking the chess. I walked into the coffee shop, chose a table which was near the window, so that I could see the outside scenery.

When my friends came, we talked happily, we shared the things that happened during these days.

Then all my pressure was relieved, I forgot about the annoyance on my study. At that moment, I was enjoying the time talking with my friends. I had the great time this afternoon.

今天是星期六，一大早，我就起床了，整个上午，我都呆在家里看电视。

在吃完午饭后，我没有什么事情去做，因此我决定叫我的朋友们出去。我前往一家广场附近的咖啡店。广场里有很多人，一些女人在唱歌和跳舞，然而一些男人在下象棋。我走进了咖啡店，选择了一张近窗口的桌子，这样我就能看到外面的风景。

当我的朋友们来了以后，我们聊得很愉快，分享了在这段时间发生的事情。然后我所有的压力都得到了释放，我忘记了学习上的烦恼。在那个时刻，我享受着和朋友们聊天的时光。今天下午我度过了愉快的时光。

[高中英语作文：午后时光

The Value Of Time

I always think there is not enough time. For example， I have just taken a three-day holiday. But when I look back， I just feel that it‘s only one day. There goes a proverb， “Time is money”。 Now I want to say， time is more precious than money， because when money is spent， we can earn some more again. However， when time is gone or lost， never will it return.

Time goes without being noticed. The time for our study and work is usually limited. So I think we must make full use of our time. But it‘s a pity that I am always not aware of the importance of time until it’s too late.

So I think， I should get into the good habit of saving time because wasting time is equal to wasting one‘s life. Do not put off what can be done today till tomorrow!

[高中英语作文:时间的价值

The older I grow, the more I appreciate children. Now, at my 80th birthday, I salute them again. Children are the most wholesome part of the race, the sweetest, for they are freshest from the hand of God. Whimsical, ingenious, mischievous, they fill the world with joy and good humor. We adults live a life of apprehension as to what they will think of us; a life of defense against their terrifying energy; a life of hard work to live up to their great expectations. We put them to bed with a sense of relief---and greet them in the morning with delight and anticipation. We envy them the freshness of adventure and the discovery of life. In all these ways, children add to the wonder of being alive. In all these ways, they help to keep us young.
