+ 加入清单Trees are very useful to people. They provide us with wood and other
products. They give us shade and they help to prevent drought and floods.
Unfortunately, in many parts of our country, people havent realized the
importance of trees. They cut them down at will. They are usually too lazy or
too careless to plant and look after new trees. As a result, the forests
continue to disappear.
Where there are no trees the rain falls on the surface, causing floods, and
carries away with the rich topsoil, in which crops grow so well. When all the
topsoil is gone, nothing remains but worthless deserted.
The big floods of 1998, in parts of China, have already taught us a good
lesson. So every one of us must love trees, protect forests, and keep on
planting trees each year.

residents of most urban areas. Some major roads are regularly choked with
traffic in rush hours. The limited transport capacity contributes largely to the
vexing problem. How to solve the headache?
The existing solutions to traffic jam mainly aim at creating metro bus
systems and broadening major roads. Widening the existing roads can solve
traffic snarls on some level. Soaring car ownership compounds the chronic
annoying problem, so we must sharply reduce the heavy reliance on cars and drive
a shift to the mass transportation. It is a cheap and good way. We can create a
system of customized bus routes and highlight the development of subways,
trolleys and light rail. The effective combination of these solutions will
enable the urban areas to possess a smooth traffic.

independent as they live in the dormitory. Learning major knowledge and
mastering the professional skill are the main tasks, but the necessity of
practical experience can’t be ignored if they want to start their career

Being freshmen, many students start to lose themselves as they just want to
enjoy the freedom and forget about study when they come to campus. But some wise
students have made their plans. They not only spend a lot of time in library,
but also fulfill their time by taking practical experience, which will be a
great help in future career. We are easy to find that the successful young men
have started their career as they are students.
In the job market, most employers care about the practical experience when
they look at the resumes. They want this type of graduates because they can
spend less time to teach them get familiar with the new environment, which can
improve the working efficiency. If students want to take advantages over others
in the job market, then they’d better seek some internship.

+ 加入清单英语念起来干枯无聊,我偶尔往前面望去,有一排同学没事可做,竟然搞起敢死队的工作——在英语老师的眼皮子底下看漫画书,晕。更为巧合的是――竟然都是坐在一排的人!怀疑是不是串通好了的呢。
敢死队员1号:小心翼翼型
这位队员一边看着书,一边虎视耽耽地望着老师。瞧,他刚翻一页,就抬头看看老师,接着又翻一页,然后有抬头望望老师,这样重复循环,真不知道他把内容看进去没有。看见老师的目光没有扫向他,他赶紧抓住机会连翻几页,然后突然抬头,盯着老师。
敢死队员2号:动作怪怪型
这位队员可有点怪了,看着书,一会儿掏掏鼻子,一会儿打打哈欠,一会儿摸摸耳朵,一副惟恐天下不乱的样子,好像不让老师发现他的举动就不甘心似的,真是个怪人。
敢死队员3、4号:谈天说地型
这两位同学有些不把老师放在眼里了,边看书边聊天。我隐隐约约听见他们说冒险岛OL,说漫画内容,说小说,说娱乐咨询,就连老师和同学的目光扫向他们,也无济于事。
敢死队员5号:边学边看型
这位同学好像有些明白学习的重要性,看了几分钟的书,马上立起来听老师的讲课。课上一半时,老师为了扫查班上的敢死队,把同学们一个叫起一个问问题。这下可让这群敢死队员们开始惶恐不安了,他们连书都顾不着看呢。而这位队员呢,看一会儿就学学,这一招算是对他的MISS了。
敢死队员6号:理直气壮型
这位同学可是班上的霸王级分子了(注:别乱想,不是我啊),他可是一人之下,几十人之上,谁敢对他不敬,他的落雷马上就落在你头上了,(注:我已经欠了他3顿打了,要不是我能帮他弄电脑作业,我早就魂飞天了)因此每人敢告发他。不知是她的好运还是老师放水,他这样看了一堂课,竟然都没半点被批评,真太不公平了!!
谁知道,老师从天而降,为了抓住敢死分子,居然来个背后突袭,到所有座位后边地毯式搜索。5名敢死队员唰地一声,在同一时间内放下书,装起乖乖。只有敢死队员6号稳如泰山,而老师的目光明明瞄准了他,可老师却好像在放水一样,竟纵容他在自己眼皮子底下活动,真气死人了!而其他5位的敢死队员便无机可乘,只好乖乖停课,唯独6号占了便宜。
篇6:中秋节的英语高中
全文共 2221 字
+ 加入清单I think Mid-Autumn Day is an old traditional festival in China。 Everybody likes it because its a family get-together。 You see it is called"Mid-Autumn Day", so it often es in September or October。 It is on the 15th of the 8th of the lunar month。 Now, lets say something about this interesting festival。
Firstly, Id like to say something about the moon。 I like it very much because I want to be an astronaut in the future。 That day the moon is round, big, just like a beautiful plate hanging on the blue cloth。 When I see the moon, I will remember the ancient myths——the godess Chang Er and her little rabbit are playing under the tree which Wu Gang grows。 I will also think about Armstrongs first moonwalk。 I will also miss the friends in Tai-wan island, in Macao and Chinese people who are abroad。 I know they are missing us very much, too。
Secondly, I11 say something about the tradition on Mid-Autumn Day。 Look!Theres a big tree in a garden of a Chinese fami-ly。 All the family members are sitting around a big table under the tree in the open air。 They are eating the mooncakes and admiring the full moon in the sky。 That is a family reunion dinner。 The mooncakes and the moon represent the love from a family。 I think this is one of the most valuable things in the world。
Thirdly,it is a very good opportunity to make three wishes on Mid-Autumn Day。 My wishes are: the first, I, an astronaut in the future, would like to go to the moon one day, and stay with the sky and stars; the second, I hope every person in the world will stay with family, share love from the family forever; the third, I hope everybodys dream will e true。
That is the Mid-Autumn Day in my mind。 I will always re-member: East or West, home is best。
我认为中秋节是中国古老的传统节日。每个人都喜欢它,因为它是一个家庭聚会。你看它被称为“中秋节”,所以通常在九月或十月。这是在农历八月十五日。现在,让我们谈谈这个有趣的节日。
首先,我想谈谈月亮问题。我非常喜欢它,因为我希望将来成为一名宇航员。那天月亮是圆的,大的,就像一块美丽的盘子挂在蓝色的布上。我看到月亮,我会记得古老的神话 - 长女和她的小兔子正在吴刚生长的树下玩耍。我也会想到阿姆斯特朗的第一次月球漫步。我也会想念台湾的朋友们岛上,澳门和国外的中国人。我知道他们也非常想念我们。
其次,我要谈谈中秋节的传统。看!中国家庭的花园里有一棵大树。所有的家庭成员都坐在树下的一张大桌子旁边露天。他们正在吃月饼,欣赏天空中的满月。这是一个家庭聚会晚餐。月饼和月亮代表了一个家庭的爱。我认为这是世界上最有价值的东西之一。
第三,这是一个非常好的机会,在中秋节做出三个愿望。我的愿望是:第一,我,未来的宇航员,有一天想去月球,和天空和星星呆在一起; 第二,我希望世界上每个人都能和家人在一起,永远地与家人分享爱意; 第三,我希望每个人的梦想都是真的。
那是我心中的中秋节。我将永远重新成员:东方或西方,家是最好的。

you a daughters gratitude.
When I was young, you began to have long hair for me. You said girls had
long hair and beautiful hair. But this is a lot of trouble for you, but for your
daughters beauty, I wash my hair once every 32 days and comb a beautiful
hairstyle. Every time I wash my hair, Im afraid Im cold or ironed. You always

+ 加入清单Computer is increasingly popular in people’s daily life. The number of
computer in every family is more than TV set. Some people think it is so great
that they all regard it as a gift from the heaven. However, some people consider
it brings more disadvantages than advantages. In my opinion, both opinions are
correct, but if we can use computer in a proper way, its advantages are superior
to disadvantages. I have several reasons.
On the one hand, computer makes human beings’ life become easier. People
can do many things that they can’t do before. They can read newspaper without
buying it, only sitting in front of their computer, clicking mouse to open
website. Shopping online, watching movies, listening music and play computer
games are the common things that people often do by computer. But without
computer, they can’t do all these easily. In addition, computer is also very
helpful for study and work. People can have classes and work on it.
On the other hand, computer has so many attractive things that some people
will be addicted to it. Some of them may busy finding funs on it, and then
ignore their real duty, such as, study and work. As a result, it will have great
bad effect on their future.
To sum, computer has advantages and disadvantages. But if people can
control themselves to use computer properly, it is useful for their whole
life.

篇11:以诚信为主题高一英语
全文共 1427 字
+ 加入清单Recently, I have seen an impressive film—“Meet the Parents”, which is about
a woman Palm brought her boyfriend Greg to her parents’ home to spend holiday.
In the film, Greg was so dishonest to Palm’s parents that Palm’s father is
suspicious of his behavior and quality. As a result, Greg is obnoxious to all
and has to leave. As far as I am concerned, the consequence is heavily caused by
his dishonesty. If Greg could be real him all the time, he would get much
respect and appreciation and would not get much frustration. From the film, I
have learned that being honest was extremely important and necessary. In other
words, being honest is a basic principle for us to deal with others.
For one thing, we will not get others’ trust unless we are honest. If we
deceive others, we would get the same in return, and even no one would make
friends with us or even communicate with us. For another, we will get others’
respect and appreciation if telling the truth. Telling the truth and being
ourselves, we will get a healthy and peaceful surrounding to grow up better.
However, something strange happens in our society. There is a strange
phenomenon that honest people suffer but the dishonest benefit a lot. It made
some people have a suspicion that being honest is not so important.
But I still believe that these are just a few cases, since honesty is
deeply rooted in our minds and we still consider it as a basic principle in
social contacts.

to the topic “How to live a meaningful life”, the opinions are divided. In
someone’s eyes, they agree that a meaningful life is just a comfortable life
which means they can enjoy themselves as possible as they can.
However, personally in my view, if we spend our whole life in pursuing
things only for ourselves, we will surely let ourselves down when we look back.
There’s an old saying that goes “The greatest use of life is to spend it for
something that will outlast it”. I can’t agree more. If there is a way to avoid
a disappointed life, it should be to try our best to find meaningful things
which can also make contributions to the whole society. Even a single man can
make a big difference to the world. Not to mention that everyone get together to
bring changes to the society.
It’s high time that we took measures to experience a meaning life. What’s
more, it’s never too late to start a meaning life. So be yourself, enjoy your
happiness and be helpful to others. That’s the meaning life worth living.

boil tea to offer him. Ancient Chinese poem.China is the home country of tea.
Before the Tang Dynasty, Chinese tea was exported by land and sea, first to
Japan and Korea, then to India and Central Asia and, in the Ming and Qing
dynasties, to the Arabian Peninsula. In the early period of the 17th century,
Chinese tea was exported to Europe, where the upper class adopted the fashion of
drinking tea. Chinese tea like Chinese silk and china has become synonymous
worldwide with refined culture. At the heart of the culture of tea the study and
practice of tea in all its aspects is the simple gesture of offering a cup of
tea to a guest that for Chinese people today is a fundamental social custom, as
it has been for centuries.China traces the development of tea as an art form to
Lu Yu, known as the Saint of Tea in Chinese history, who lived during the Tang
Dynasty and who wrote The Book of Tea, the first ever treatise on tea and tea
culture. The spirit of tea permeates Chinese culture, and throughout the country
there are many kinds of teas, teahouses, tea legends, tea artifacts and tea
customs. Better-known places to enjoy a good cup of tea in China include Beijing
noted for its variety of teahouses; Fujian and Guangdong provinces and other
places in the southeast of China that serve gongfu tea, a formal serving of tea
in tiny cups; the West Lake in Hangzhou, also the home of the Tea Connoisseurs
Association, noted for its excellent green tea; and provinces in southwest China
like Yunnan where the ethnic groups less affected by foreign cultures retain tea
ceremonies and customs in original tea-growing areas.
