上海世博会对中国的影响英语作文【推荐20篇】

Nowadays, more and more people prefer to travel quite often. Bytraveling,

we not only can relax ourselves but also broaden our knowledge circles. From my

aspect, I think we can make many friends and travel with them.

Firstly, we can enjoy the beautiful scenery and relax ourselves. For modern

life, we are busy with our work with high pressure. However, when we travel, we

will be attracted by great landscape and forget pressure from both work and

life.

Secondly, we can make friends by traveling. For most travelers, they tend

to find many companions to travel with. If you check the internet, you will find

that some people will call others to join them for travel. Through this kind of

travel, we can meet many different people and make friends with them to broaden

our social circle.

Thirdly, we can learn much knowledge form travel. Before you go to

somewhere to travel, generally, you need to make plans for your travel. You can

find lots of things you don’t know when you make a plan, such as, the origin of

a certain area, the customs of different areas, local food and so on.

In conclusion, we can not only relax ourselves and make new friends but at

the same time we can learn much from travel.

Fast food has flooded in our lives nowadays. Concerning fast food,

different people have different attitudes.Some hold that fast food is necessary

in our society while others argue that fast food is harmful to our health. As

far as I am concerned, fast food is necessary but not a must in our lives.

On the one hand, fast food is necessary in our today’s society. Although

fast food is not as nutritious as home-made food, it is a good replacement when

we are in hurry and have no enough time to prepare food by ourselves. It can

help us to save much time. In addition, fast food is cheaper but various and we

can taste different kinds of food by using less money.

On the other hand, however, fast food is not a must. Fast food can be used

to replace our home-made food sometimes, but we should not eat it very often.

Compared with home-made food, the nutrition provided by fast food is far less.

Therefore, eating fast food only can not provide enough nutrition for our

growth. Besides, the problem of food security is another factor we should

consider when eating fast food.

In a word, fast food is necessary sometimes in our lives, but we can not

eat it very often. At the same time, to fit for the need of people, fast food

restaurants should develop and provide more and more nutritious food and

strengthen the supervision of food making.

Winter holiday is coming. Its in December or January.I have a plan for it.

I am going to Canada during this winter holiday. I will go there by plane with

my parents and friends. I am going to stay with my aunt and uncle. There will be

snow everywhere. We can make snowmen there. Were going to go skiing,

ice-skating and have some Canadian food. We are going to visit the Niagara

Falls. Its a famous waterfall in Canada. We will also take some photos of it. I

hope we can have a grate time in Canada!

Nowadays, more and more people realize the harm of smoking and the damage

it bring to the people around us. Considered the health of people themseves and

the one they care, many smokers try their best to give up smoking. When quiting

smoking, I have some suggestions. First of all, people should have strong will

on giving up smoking. Personal determination is the most important factor. When

feeling eager to smoke, people should think about the damage of smoking and the

people they love. And then they can strengthen their will not to smoke.

Secondly, sweep away all the cigarette around. They can’t find any cigarette

when they want to smoke. And then after a while, their wants for smoke will

reduce gradually. Last but not least, prepare some candies in the pocket, when

people want to smoke, eat candies instead. Hope every smoker succeed in the

end.

Last weekend, I wanted to swim in the river that I usually wen in the

childhood. When I went there, I was shock. The river is no longer like before.

It was full of rubbish. It seemed that the rubbish is from the villagers

themselves. In order to put the rubbish nearer, they put all of them into the

river. Not only the water is not clean any more, the river also smelt bad. I

real touched. Why human and the environment couldn’t live harmonious? Long time

ago, they could get along with each other. Why not now? People have to stop

their behavior to harm the environment. Otherwise, it would cause destruction to

both sides.

每年农历五月初五是端午节。它和中秋节，春节并列为中国的三大传统节日。

端午节到了，碧绿，有着清香的竹叶;用水浸泡过的糯米看上去晶莹剔透;用调料腌制过的五花肉;毛竽，豆腐，青豆，板栗，蜜枣，豆沙，红枣……它们显得美味又诱人。妈妈用灵巧的双手把粽叶左折右叠，再用绳子层层缠绕，一会儿，一个个精致小巧的粽子就包好了。不一会儿，满屋飘香，把我馋的直流口水。我连忙打开一个粽子，迫不及待的往嘴里送。

“宝贝，别光顾着吃，你明白端午节为什么要吃粽子吗?”妈妈问道。

“当然是因为纪念屈原。他是一个爱国诗人，看见秦军攻破楚国国都时，就满怀悲愤地投江自尽了。”妈妈带我穿越了时空，来到了烽火四起的楚国，看见了屈原跳江时脸上绝望的神情。老百姓把粽子丢到江里，期望能喂饱鱼虾，不让他们夺食屈原的尸体。

我喜欢过端午节，它不仅仅能让我吃到香香的粽子，还能让我了解中国的历史。

从“中国这十年”体悟非凡的“中国力量”

中共中央宣传部举行“中国这十年”系列主题新闻发布会，介绍党和国家事业取得的历史性成就、发生的历史性变革。

十年来，中国的经济发展有了大提高、生态环境有了大改善，民生发展不断提质增效，真真切切、可触可感的变化在我们的身边发生着，乡村发展日新月异，科技力量澎湃涌动。作为党员干部，我们要从“中国这十年”里体悟非凡的“中国力量”，读懂发展的思路理念、精神力量，将之转化为新征程上的拼搏奋斗，接续再立新绩、再创新功。

读懂“迎难而上”的火热干劲，体悟“化挑战为机遇”的中国力量。迈上崭新台阶先要“爬过坡”“迈过坎”，提振发展动能先要“啃硬骨”“下深水”，唯有主动迎难而上、向难而进，才能将所面对的考验和挑战转化为机遇。面对疫情防控的严峻形势，各地区各部门扎实推动各项政策举措落地、深挖发展的内需潜力，在防控上科学精准，在发展上统筹兼顾，以信心和决心为中国的经济发展“护航”。从“中国这十年”，我们能够读懂迎难而上、转危为机的信心和决心。作为党员干部，我们要以担当回应时代，立足岗位锤炼大本领，打跑“拦路虎”、练好“真功夫”，以实践中的历练促能力水平的提升，善于解决实际问题，将赶考路上的挑战转化为促进发展的机遇和力量。

读懂“人民至上”的价值理念，体悟“化初心为行动”的中国力量。人民生活的质量、发展成色不断提升，从衣食住行的全面保障到“米袋子”之足、“菜篮子”之丰，从脱贫攻坚战的全面胜利到乡村振兴的发展蓝海，民生事业的发展水平取得了历史性的进步和全方位的跃升。在发布会上，用了“一个历史性、三个全方位”总结了十年来我国在民生建设上的巨大成就。十年时间里，我国在公共服务领域、医疗教育事业、交通网络建设上不断提升质效，从“家门口”就业到粮食的连丰，从创业平台的搭建到数字化发展的普及，既注重全方位的提升，也注重细节上的增色，全体人民朝着共同富裕的目标不断迈进。从“中国的这十年”里我们能够切实感受到中国共产党矢志不渝的初心和坚定不移的行动，党员干部要坚守“人民至上”的价值理念，把初心化为持续保障和改善民生的实际行动，提升群众的幸福感、安全感和获得感。

读懂“自主创新”的主动精神，体悟“化难点为突破”的中国力量。随着时代的发展，科技应用场景越来越广泛，科技的力量和作用越来越显著。发布会上用了“进步最大、提高最快的十年”来形容我国的科技事业发展，用“历史性、整体性、格局性”三个词来形容我国科技事业的巨大变化，科技的发展背后与我国高度重视科技创新、坚持创新发展理念密切相关，在创新理念的引领下，中国特色自主创新道路越走越宽广。数据显示，我国全社会研发投入与国内生产总值的比例由1.91%提高到2.44%，全球创新指数排名由第34位上升到第12位，更在高速铁路、5G网络、载人航天等领域取得重大突破。党员干部要在工作中，要从难点中求突破，在干事创业上有久久为功之心，坚持“化淤为疏”为事业发展注入长久动能，在创新中谋发展，在进取中创成果。

有报道说，一个短跑选手最大的年龄限度为28岁，苏炳添参加2021年东京奥运会时已经32岁。

在2021年的国内比赛中，苏炳添发现，参赛名单上的运动员内，他是唯一的“80后”，在以“00后”为主力的赛场上，他的年龄有些突兀。

大方无隅，大器晚成，苏炳添在本该退役的年纪，坚持自己的夺冠梦想，用实力证明了，只要付出努力，一切都不晚!

“我觉得我还能跑”，苏炳添怀揣着这句话，一直跑进东京奥运会男子百米比赛中，以9秒83 的成绩，成为亚洲第一位站在百米决战现场的黄种人，又一次刷新了亚洲纪录。

这场让苏炳添封神的比赛后，他在网络平台发文：回头再看这场比赛，好多情绪都涌上心头，32岁了，当时外界有很多声音认为我的成绩很难再有突破……

然而，“超龄”苏炳添的名字成了中国优秀运动员的代名词，15岁开始练短跑，32岁才站上事业的巅峰，苏炳添庆幸一直没有放弃自己的目标，并为之付出了毕生心血。

苏炳添提高0.01秒的成绩，用了近十年的时间，追梦的人，总会跑着与梦想相遇，没有天赋就靠努力创造奇迹。

在接受一次采访中，苏炳添说到：

当运动员不就是这样吗?到了一个高度，就想要另一个高度。

人生没有捷径，所有的成功都是要靠自己干出来的，所以，你只管付出，命运总会在不经意间给你最好的回报。

苏炳添用自己的实力打破黄种人无法进入田径短跑赛道的魔咒，让世界看到中国速度!

刷新纪录后，苏炳添又有了新的目标，他将身披红色铠甲，飞出亚洲、飞向世界!

习近平总书记近日对张富清同志先进事迹作出重要指示强调，老英雄张富清60多年深藏功名，一辈子坚守初心、不改本色，事迹感人。在部队，他保家卫国;到地方，他为民造福。他用自己的朴实纯粹、淡泊名利书写了精彩人生，是广大部队官兵和退役军人学习的榜样。要积极弘扬奉献精神，凝聚起万众一心奋斗新时代的强大力量。总书记对在贫困山区奉献一生的张富清同志的关怀与肯定，在广大基层党员干部中引起热烈反响。大家纷纷表示，要扎根基层，恪尽职守，一点一滴地做好对党和人民有益的事情。

今年95岁的老党员张富清是原西北野战军359旅718团2营6连战士，在解放战争的枪林弹雨中九死一生，先后荣立一等功三次、二等功一次，被西北野战军记“特等功”，两次获得“战斗英雄”荣誉称号。1955年，张富清退役转业，主动选择到湖北省最偏远的来凤县工作，为贫困山区奉献一生。60多年来，张富清刻意尘封功绩，连儿女也不知情。2018年底，在退役军人信息采集中，张富清的事迹被发现，这段英雄往事重现在人们面前。

老英雄战功赫赫，却深藏功名，转业后选择最偏远的山区，做最艰苦的工作，过最平凡的生活。这种牺牲奉献、不怕苦不怕累的精神深深震撼了大家。为我们党员干部上了一堂特殊的‘党课’，生动地诠释了什么是真正的不忘初心。一是要牢记使命，忘记成绩，轻装上阵，时刻做好人生再出发的准备，绝不能自满于过往功绩而沉迷不前;二是要不惧平凡，但拒平庸，在基层岗位上、在日常工作中，只要是忠诚于党和人民事业的，必须持之以恒，脚踏实地，一点一滴地做好;三是从容舍得，才能自得，老先生扎根基层的一生是幸福的，战场上、工作里都能不懈奋斗，守住了初心。

新时代强烈呼唤共产党人的奉献精神，我们要立足岗位弘扬奉献精神，突出优质服务弘扬奉献精神，突出推动高质量发展弘扬奉献精神，认真落实党章规定和入党誓词，认真履行党员必须履行的义务，甘入苦海、夙夜在公、以身许党，用实际行动践行奉献精神新的时代，努力完成新时代党的历史使命交给我们的重大任务，新时代进行伟大斗争、建设伟大工程、推进伟大事业、实现伟大梦想。我们要张富清同志先进事迹为榜样，弘扬奉献的精神。

一是要始终知责尽责、勇于担当。我们党在长期的革命实践和建设中，形成了吃大苦耐大劳的奉献精神，从而战胜了一个又一个艰难险阻，创造了一个又一个辉煌成就。这种吃苦奉献精神永不过时、永放光芒。我们要直面困难，迎难而上。人生不可能一路坦途，我们要学会以积极的心态去面对困难，尽最大的努力发现问题，分析问题，解决问题。我们不作胆小的懦夫，要做敢于尝试的勇者。我们要永远牢记最初进入工作岗位时的信念，不必过于计较得失，要甘于奉献!精神上要向“四讲四有”的目标奋斗。履职上要敢担当，在错综复杂的矛盾中，敢于迎着困难上,一旦出现问题，勇于挺身而出，敢于承担责任。在创新上有所追求，有动力有定力，善学善思善成，自觉运用于工作实践中。

二是要始终常在状态、创先争优。精神状态决定工作标准，展现敬业精神，事关能力素质，事关单位发展。建成小康社会，不仅仅是一句鼓舞人心的口号,更重要的是要求我们以不辱使命的崇高追求、昂扬向上的精神状态、舍身忘我的拼搏精神、常在状态的自我加压，努力创先争优。要有奋发进取的工作干劲。要有争创一流的工作标准。高标准、创一流，既是指导思想，又是科学的工作方法，既要苦身子，又要苦脑子，需要扎扎实实扑下身子去干、去创。要有精细求实的“工匠精神”和工作作风。作风实、事业旺，作风漂、事业衰。

三是要始终知恩图报、知足常乐。作为一名党员干部，要懂得知恩图报、知足常乐、知责奋进，清廉如水，不谋私利。在吃苦中奉献，在奉献中吃苦，是忠诚于党的事业的一种具体体现，是实现人生价值的客观所在。看待名利待遇要知足，追求什么，关键要把握好“度”，“祸莫大于不知足。”时下在一些人身上存在的职务升迁上“嫌慢”、环境上“嫌苦”、事业上“嫌累”、待遇上“嫌少”、名誉上“嫌无”的现象，就是“不知足”的问题。在名利待遇上，要会“追求”，树立正确的人生价值取向，精神不懈怠、学习不满足、工作不退后，要会“比较”，我们要尊重岗位，学会正确看待自己的岗位和工资。抱着一颗感恩之心，珍惜手中这份来之不易的工作机会。

我们弘扬奉献精神，要把自己的岗位当做人生舞台，施展自己才华，演绎精彩人生。用一颗无私的心面对身边人和事，与人为善，互助互爱，坚持对的事，只做对的人。能够正确认识自我和他人，就会使平庸变为优秀，使自卑变为自强，使消沉变为进取，使自满变为谦逊。我们还要学会放弃，从容面对人生，排除杂念，平衡心态，从而取得更多更好的事业和生活上的收获。

1.1词汇方面

如果把写英语作文比作建楼房的话，英语词汇在英语写作中起着砖、瓦的作用，是句子的最基本的组成部分，所以词汇是我们高中英语教学中的重点，单词听写是课堂教学必不可少的一个环节，但学生的词汇量毕竟有限，遇到问题时，便会用汉语词汇去补充英语词汇的空缺。

例如：交通十分繁忙。误：The traffic is busy. 正：The traffic is heavy.

她和一位教授结婚了。误：She married with a professor.

正：She married a professor.

英语词语的词义往往比较复杂，并和汉语有着一定区别。这种不同就会会导致学生仅把写作当作一词一句的翻译来做，结果是事倍功半。

1.2语法方面

英语中难点就是时态，语态的掌握。英语中常用时态共十六种，语态分为主动语态与被动语态，语气有陈述语气与虚拟语气之分。不同的时态有它特有的句法结构。如现在进行时态使用be＋v－ing形式来表示。现在完成时则用have／has ＋p．p来表示。一般将来时则用shall／will／be going to＋v来表示。英语中时间意义的表达是通过动词的时和体来加以反映，而汉语中不存在时、体等，汉语则依靠表示时间的副词（如“曾经”、“正在”、“已经”、“将要”）作状语，或利用虚词“了”、“着”、“过”等作补语这一语法手段来体现，动词本身无任何变化。在英语中，“already”和“ever”常常用在完成时态之中，不能与表示过去的时间状语连用。学生常常把上述句子错译成“Yesterday I have been to the park．”“Five years ago，they have known each other．”又如在英语中，我们常常用否定前置来

Science and technology have been bringing human beings tremendous benefits.

Thanks to science and technology, we now live comfortably and conveniently in

houses furnished with air conditioners, refrigerators, washing machines and

televisions etc. Thanks to science and technology, we can eat fresh vegetables

at the year round. Thanks to science and technology, we can travel long

distances in the fraction of a second on planes, trains and cars. Thanks to

science and technology, we wear clothes with synthetic materials which can not

easily be worn out.

However, science and technology have atso brought us a lot of disasters.

First, because of the many breakthroughs in the field of medicine, people are

now living much longer than they used to. As a result, the population of the

world is increasing, causing lots of problems. Second, because of the

development of industry, lots of the wastes from factories pour into the air and

rivers, causing pollution of all kinds. Third, some terrorists are using science

and technology against mankind. They use biological, chemical and unclear

weapons to threaten world peace...

So its urgent that we find ways to solve these problems. But we should not

stop the development of science and technology because of these disasters they

bring, just as we should not give up eating for fear of choking. In addition, we

should make some rules to regulate our actions. As long as we use science and

technology in a proper way, they may bring us even more benefits.

We are always trying to find the way to success, which stands for power,

pride and glory. There have been strings of stories of success I was told since

I was a child. From then on, I have been fascinated with being successful.

Whatsuccess? Different people have different opinions towards this

question. To start with, some people, such as accountants, workers and so on,

are longing for being rich, which allows them buy what they want, and enjoy

luxury. They treat it as success. Furthermore, some contestants, such as boxers,

are always trying their best to defeat their rivals for success. And once they

win, they confirm that they are stronger than others. The last but not the

least, there are some other people who enjoy helping others. As a good saying

goes, the roses in her hand, the flavor in mine. With helping others, we can

also feel satisfactory.

As far as I am concerned, life is short, and we must achieve something

during our life. So I regard striving and working hard important. When comes to

we reap what we sow, it’s the time of success.

The Dragon Boat Festival is one of the most popular traditional festivals

celebrated in China, which is on the fifth of the fifth lunar month, also known

as Duanwu Festival. It’s said that it is to commemorate the death of a Chinese

patriotic poet, Qu Yuan, who was snared by corrupt officials in ancient China

and finally committed suicide by drowning himself in the Miluo River to protest

against them.

The traditions and customs held on this festival differ from place to

place, but there are some common in them. First, the most famous and great

tradition is holding Dragon Boat races, which are held by fishermen’s attempt to

protect Qu Yuan’s body against attacking by fishes and other animals in the

river by beating drums and row the dragon shaped boat. Nowadays dragon boat

races have been an annual popular sport activity among people. In addition,

making and eating Zongzi—a dumpling made of glutinous rice and wrapped in bamboo

or reed leaves—is also a popular custom during this day. It can be made by many

kinds of stuffing. What’s more, hanging herbs on the front door, drinking

realgar wine and pasting up picture of Zhongkui—a mythic guardian figure in

ancient china—are also popular during the festival, which are mean to protect

people from evil and disease.

These customs and traditions have been changed a little in recent years,

but they still make contribution to the spread and inheritance of Chinese

culture.

疫情期间：春节的“留”与“守”

“有钱没钱，回家过年。”往年的春节，都是伴随着人头攒动的“春运”迎来阖家团圆的日子，而今年，号召“原地不动”的过年方式一经发出，“春运”预估客流量也由往年的近20亿人次以上降到今年的11.25亿，过年的“口号”也变成了“有钱没钱，就地过年”。如何平衡好疫情期间春节的“留”与“守”，避免“一刀切”式的简单处理，是能否让大家过一个“与众不同”舒心年的关键。

留住年味，守牢纪律。“大扫除”“打年货”“添新衣”“大团圆”……一桩桩、一件件都充满了年味，每当家家户户都在筹备这些的时候，就意味着新年即将到来。但疫情当前，无论是明确规定的“必须核酸检测”，还是好言相劝善意提醒的“非必要不要离开”，表达的深层含义都是“在我们彻底战胜疫情之前，都要牢牢守住疫情防控这道红线，切不可因节假日放松警惕而前功尽弃”。为了留住在工作地过年的群众，将病毒“扼杀”在摇篮之中，避免疫情的反复，切实守牢“抗疫纪律”，各地区也应学会换位思考，将心比心，与“异乡人”产生共情，通过多种渠道，开设多种平台，结合全国各地风俗习惯，丰富“精神食粮”，为他们带来家乡的年味，让大家体验到“家在远方，情在身旁”，安放好大家的心。

留住人心，守护健康。虽然因疫情原因，今年提倡“就地过年”，但是仍然存在“上有老下有小”而不得不因特殊原因回家过年的人民，有些地方对低风险地区人员、车辆也进行堵截、劝返，让区域内社会生产生活秩序陷于缓滞，这是一种“一刀切”式的懒政，也绝不是疫情防控的正确举措。对于这种情况，各地方在政策执行期间，不能擅自“加码”，更不能“层层加码”，要根据不同情况区分对待，制定和调整相关出行政策，如由低风险到低风险地区的旅客，在充分准备好近期核酸检测结果的前提下，铁路和疾控中心专业人员要做好站厅重点区域定时进行消杀及检测工作，并且确保进出站旅客体温监测和扫码出行，切实保障所有返乡人员安全出行、安全到家，才能在守护健康的前提下，留住人心。

留住群众，守好服务。对于中高风险地区的群众，留人过年，事小但意义大，本质上体现出的是一座城市的“留人”态度：浙江义乌出台了17项“暖心政策”，政府补贴2000元，这是实实在在的政策;广东东莞，春节期间时薪按平时3倍的发放薪酬，部分工厂以多发奖金、留厂津贴的形式“薪水留人”;苏州市长期以来实行积分落户规则，为了在春节疫情期间避免人员大量流动，出台了“在苏州过年可以积15分，相当于三年缴纳公积金的积分”。对于广大农民工兄弟和在外就读的学生，青岛、北京等地也纷纷采用“赠送流量”和“赠送过年物资”的方式，充分做好社会、社区治理提升服务质量，用“线上拜年”和“线上团聚”的形式弥补大家不能亲自回乡的遗憾。

留得青山在，不怕没柴烧，今年的不动是为了来年更自由的流动，待春暖花开之时，我们再相聚!

The Chinese manners is differend from other countries .In China, people first meet to shake hands.When people eat,Besides soup, table all food use chopsticks.Certain foods can move chopsticks eyes.And sometimes the Chinese host use their chopsticks to put food in your bowl or plate. This is a sign of politeness. The appropriate thing to do would be to eat the whatever-it-is and say how yummy it is. If you feel uncomfortable with this, you can just say a polite thank you and leave the food there.

Dont tap on your bowl with your chopsticks.Beggars tap on their bowls, so this is not polite.Also, when the food is coming too slow in a restarant, people will tap their bowls. If you are in someones home,it is like insulting the cook.

中国的礼仪是不同于来自其他国家的。在中国,人们第一次见面握手。当人们吃,除了汤之外,表所有食品使用筷子。某些食物可以动筷子的眼睛。有时中国主人用筷子把食物在你的碗或盘子。这是礼貌的标志。适当的事是吃不管它是什么,说有多美味。如果你觉得不舒服,你可以只说一个礼貌的谢谢,让那里的食物。

不要用筷子敲打饭碗。乞丐行乞时常敲打饭碗,所以,这是不礼貌的。同样,当食物来restarant太慢,人们会利用他们的碗。如果你在某人的家里,它就像侮辱厨师。

在2015年的暑假，我一个人回到中国去看我的亲戚。这是我第一次回中国。我的外婆住在上海旁边的浙江，她在上海浦东机场等我。这次中国之行我去了不少地方，印象最深的是上海。

上海是中国最大的城市，在扬子江到太平洋的出口。上海也是一个很老的城市，在1291年创立了。但是直到1849年，它还是一个小钓鱼镇，黄浦江流过上海的中间，在江的西面叫浦西，江的东边叫浦东。现在上海很发达，有很多高楼。

我们先到上海的外滩。外滩是在黄浦江边上，在那里，我们都可以看到浦东的高楼。当我们到那里的时候，太阳快落山了，那些高楼放出很多不同的颜色，很漂亮。我们上了一个船，在江上看上海的夜景。第二天，我们去了南京路，这个路只让人走，两边都有很多店，像纽约的第五大道。我吃到了一个上海的美食，小笼包，。真的很好吃，笔我在美国的中国城吃的好吃一千倍。第三天，我们进去浦东看了看。我们参观了东方明珠，上海标志性的高楼。东方明珠是个很高的楼，632米高。顶上有五个粉红色的大球，我们上到最高的球看外面，高楼在我的四边，车在地下是像很多蚂蚁。黄浦江弯弯的流到远处。风景真的很美。

最后，我们要回美国了。去机场的路上，我们过了架在黄浦江上的南浦大桥。在上桥之前，马路变成了两个圈然后桥才开始，这是很独特的。飞机终于启动了，上海和他的高楼。

First, I’ll say something about World Expo History. As we know, the very first World Expo, the Great Exhibition of 1851, took place in the Crystal Palace in London. UK. Ever since then, the goals of World Expos have been both high-minded as well as commercial. Visitors are able to explore the world outside of their everyday experience—outside cultures, new scientific advancements, and new inventions. World Expos have excited and inspired more and more people in the world

On December3, 2002, the Bureau of International Expositions (or call it BIE) announced that Shanghai will host Expo2010. the BIE had received bids from five cities to host Expo2010. Among the 5 nice cities, the BIE chose Shanghai at last! It’s really an exciting news for not only Shanghainese, but also all of Chinese people. Here are some details about it.

Loot at this profile carefully. The title is “The 2010 World Exposition ,Shanghai, China ”。 this is the logo.

And the theme is “better city., better life”。OK, let’s guess who is the image representative? Yeah, you’re right, Yao Ming!

Shanghai Expo is the first comprehensive World Expo held in a developing country. And it is also the first one that takes “the city” as its theme, hoping that it can push forward the city development and help bring about a better urban living environment, just like the theme: better city, better life.

I think, as a student in Shanghai, we should learn to be a gentle person and keep good manners from now on. And try to practice English more in order to communicate with foreigners fluently in the near future. Because, we’re a part of Shanghai!

In the past twenty years, China has faced three American presidents, but till coming to Yale today, I never realized that China really just faced one university. Although, through these three presidents, I understand that the quality of Yale graduates is not so even.

在过去的二十年中，中国一直在跟美国的三任总统，但是今天到了耶鲁，我从来没有意识到，中国真的面临一个大学。虽然，透过这三位总统，我的理解是，耶鲁大学的毕业生的质量甚至是不。

Let me begin my main subject and let me give it a title, called “My Story and the Chinese Dream Behind It”. I want to talk about five particular years. The first is 1968. That year I was born. But it was also a chaotic year for the world. In France, there was this huge street disturbance, and in America, too. Then President Kennedy was assassinated. However, I really did not cause all of these! But that year what we remember more was the assassination of Mr. Martin Luther King. Although he fell that year, his words “I have a dream” stood up, not only stood up in America, but across the whole world.

让我开始我的主题，让我给它一个名称，叫《我的故事以及背后的中国梦”。我想谈五年份。第一个是1968。那年我出世。但它也是一个混乱的一年中为世界。在法国，有巨大的街头的骚乱，在美国，太。然后美国的总统甘乃迪遇刺。然而，我真的没有造成所有这些!但是那一年我们更应该记住的是马丁先生路德金遇刺。虽然那一年他倒下了，他说“我有一个梦想”的站了起来，不仅在美国，而且在全世界。

But sadly, not only for me, but for almost all Chinese, we did not know such a dream. It was hard to describe each Chinese as having his or her own dream. China and America were so far apart, no less far apart than the Moon and the Earth. But I didn’t care about any of that. All I cared about was could I have a full meal. Clearly, I was born at a very inconvenient time, not only for China, but even for the world, there were problems.

但可悲的是，不仅是我，但几乎所有的中国人，我们不知道这样一个梦想。很难描述每一个中国人拥有自己的梦想。中国和美国是到目前为止分开，没有比月球与地球相距远不如。但我不在乎那些。我关心的是我能吃上一顿饱饭。显然，我是出世在不方便的时间，不仅对中国，而且对世界，有问题。

In the modern time, the growth of technology is increasingly developed.

More and more people don’t use their brains when there is no need to use other

instruments. Too much people use technology so that people are lazier and less

healthy than before. They rely on technology too much.

Some believe that modern technology shorten the distance of human. For

instance, people all use cellphone to call friends or family, or computer to

search information, or use QQ, MSN, twitter, blog etc. These modern instruments

shorten the distance between human.

However, others think that it’s just the reverse. Technology makes people

use less face-to-face communication. The contact in real life is less and less.

People do less interaction to each other. In the long term, people will get

depressed without enough communication.

As far as I’m concerned, modern technology provides convenience to people.

It makes people easily to get information. Only could we use it correctly, it

does much contribution to us.

dear bob,

i’m very glad to hear that you will come here to start your chinese lesson in september. i’ve found a flat, a 25-square-meter one, which includes a bedroom, a bathroom, and a kitchen for you with the rent 500 yuan per month. it is on the third floor. in the bedroom there is a chair, a desk, a bed and a sofa. by the way, the flat is on fangcao street, not far from jianxin chinese school. bus no.11 can take you there. what the most convenient is that it’s only one block between the school and your flat. if you come here, you will find it a good place for you to live in. what do you think of it? and it’s essential for me to know your earliest reply.

sincerely yours,

li hua
