I always dream about returning to the past. As many people say, childhood

is the happiest and easiest time in one’s life. Children show you their true

emotions.

They know what is compassion and what is tolerance better than adults.

In their world, all real thoughts are presented.

They may easily have different opinions with others, but they never

understand what is animosity.

They enjoy making friends but they never think about making social

communication net. Every child talks from the bottom of his heart without evil

plans hidden and never intrigues against each other.

Only in children’s way can adults make our life simple, more real and more

enjoyable.

I wish everyone’s heart would keep as innocent and lovely as they ever did

in their childhood. Then, the walls between our hearts can be broken down and

the world would be a better place to live in.

As known as we all,education is important in modern society.Everyone ought

to be educated.So the teaching become more and more necessary,expecially the

college teaching.

China,like many other countries in the world,adapts written or oral

examination as the only way to measure a student’s school work.It seems that the

aim of school education is to achieve the temeness of students for society

rather than to cultivate the unique minds for the individuals.But we must

know,the school should to teaching the methods of learning,but not many

formulas.

Besides,most of school in china always think studying more important than

other activities,which is a wrong view.Obviously,active participation in school

activities can better our health as well as our study.Students need not only

work hard on their studies,but also often join the school various activities.The

most important is school should to make proper arrangements of physical

recreation and intellectual activities to enrich the school life,improve the

There is an old Chinese saying: Top students come from strict teachers.

Perhaps affected by this saying for a long time, we believe it right. However,

as time flies, lots of things have changed. Therefore, I am eager to discuss

what relation is the best between teachers and students.A teacher can treat a

student in two ways .One is strict, and the other is friendly. Most teachers

prefer the first way.To start with, we certainly have to admit that strictness

is very effective, especially to the naughty pupils.

As pupils we aren’t able to control ourselves well or fix our attention on

one thing for a long time. We do most things because they are interesting or we

feel like doing. We are always looking out of the window in class. Sometimes, we

get to play games and forget our homework. On this occasion, strictness is a

must. It not only forces us to do the right thing, but also helps us develop a

good learning habit, which is of great importance during our whole life .In

other words, it is the first step to success.Still, everything has two sides.

Its weak points are very obvious. You see, there’re top students in a class,

where average students make up the majority. Then teachers’ orders or

suggestions are for the majority, not for top students. However, top students

always have their own study plans and prefer special homework, so orders usually

won’t take great effect on them.

Maybe you have thought out that teachers can give orders only to the

majority and set some freedom to top students. However, it’s impossible .For a

whole class, teachers couldn’t give order to part of the class, for the majority

would question why they needn’t do such work, but we need? It would be probable

that they think teachers treat them not equally, and will not obey teachers’

orders any more. This is a difficulty for teachers.It also has another

disadvantage——the communication problem .Since teachers are strict, we never

tell teachers our personal affairs or secrets. Mostly we just tell them to our

friends, but as students too, they couldn’t help to solve our problem, such as

puppy love, communication problems or study problems .Not being solved

completely, they always disturb us, influencing our daily life and study. I’m

sure that you think that making friends with teachers can solve the problem, and

you are eager to do so as well. But if we do so, new problems will come out .You

see, an adult couldnt control himself well at times, let alone us students.

However if teachers are our friends, I doubt whether their orders will take

effect any more .You see, have we ever treated our friends’ orders as orders? We

think they’re only jokes. This is another difficulty for teachers.Additionally,

our parents have the same problem. Yes, we need to be friends, but not complete

friends. We need to keep a certain distance, making us communicate well and

willing to take your orders. I remember a story.One day, a lady had her rest

room decorated. And a skilled worker was bricking up the wall. Seeing large

cracks between the bricks, she questioned why. The worker told her after this

summer, the bricks would become bigger, and those cracks would disappear.That is

not only decoration, but also communication. The principle is the same.

Far and away the most important holiday in China is Spring Festival, also

known as the Chinese New Year.

To the Chinese people it is as important as Christmas to people in the

West.

The dates for this annual celebration are determined by the lunar calendar

rather than the Gregorian calendar, so the timing of the holiday varies from

late January to early February.

To the ordinary Chinese, the festival actually begins on the eve of the

lunar New Year‘s Day and ends on the fifth day of the first month of the lunar

calendar. But the 15th of the first month, which normally is called the Lantern

Festival, means the official end of the Spring Festival in many parts of the

country.

Spring Festival is the most importantand popular festival in China.Before

Spring Festival ,the people usually clean and decorate their houses.And they go

to the Flower Fairs to buy some flowers.

During Spring Festival ,the adults usually give lucky money to

children.People often get together and have a big meal.Some people eat dumpling

for dinner.

篇5:关于成功的因素的英语

全文共 1630 字

+ 加入清单

There are many characteristic exist in the world, and characteristic is

very important to people. For example, active, persistence, optimistic makes

people successful; lazy, passive makes people fail. Having a good characteristic

means you have the key to the successful door, but you have to find the way of

success. This is what I am going to talk about, the key to success:

persistence.

Persistence is a key to success, whether for a single person or an

organization. People who lack of it would mean failure in reaching a certain

goal. People need to know that success seldom comes easily on the first try;

they should have the patient to insist trying until they get the goal.

Unsuccessful people try something just a few times, and when it fails, they give

up; they usually pass the blame onto someone or something, and learn nothing

from their experience. Successful people are different, even they fail, and they

won’t lose their passion.

Let me take a famous person to example. His name is Da Vinci, he is known

as a great painter, artist. Everyone knows him, but I think there are not much

people known that how much effort did he made before he became a famous artist.

Da Vinci draw eggs everyday when he was young, hundreds and thousands times a

day. It is definite a boring work, many people could not bear to face an egg and

draw it in different angle thousands times. But Da Vinci did it, and he made it.

We could say it is not for his persistence that he would not get the great

aptitude for painting.

Talent is a gift from god, persistence is a key you’ve got, and effort

makes those working which bring you to open the door of success.

There are many advantages about shopping on the Internet. Just by a click

need to worry about being trapped in the crowed people and cars, or wasting too

much time on walking. When shopping on line, you can choose from more varieties

of goods, whose price are generally lower.

Every coin has two sides. Its disadvantages are obvious, too. On one hand,

it’s very easy for you to buy goods different from the pictures you see on the

internet,which is quite disappointed. On the other hand, shopping on the

Internet may cause people to buy commodities that are not badly needed. It’s a

偶然看到央视一套播放的节目《经典咏流传》,很快便被其深深吸引,节目将古典诗词与现代音乐相融合,现场观众深深陶醉于中华古诗词美韵之中。其中有一位叫鲍比达的经典传承人令人印象深刻,他是港台地区著名华语音乐人,作为从小成长在菲律宾家庭、在外飘零了半生的游子,他以一首改编的《游子吟》让全场观众泪目。他说:“68岁,一切还不算太晚!这次我会留在这儿......”

没有想到,古典诗词竟能穿越千年时空而历久弥新,放射出无与伦比、灿若星辰的夺目光芒,仿佛有股神奇的力量,将所有人的心紧紧牵连在一起,赋予后人以深刻启迪和恒久感动。

生活于物质充盈的现代社会,许多人享受着无忧无虑的富足生活,有大把的时间去刷屏、追剧、挥霍,却少有人能静下心来,细细品读这些世代相传的经典作品,用心感受这些积淀已久博大精深的传统文化。中华优秀传统文化是我们最深厚的文化软实力,也是中国特色社会主义植根的文化沃土。牢记中国历史、传承民族精神,需要我们把文化的根脉留住。

领略文化之美。传统文化擘画了中华大地美轮美奂的壮阔风景。中国自古地大物博,名胜古迹、山川景物数不胜数,有山的沉稳、水的秀美,如“会当凌绝顶,一览众山小”“竹外桃花三两枝,春江水暖鸭先知”;江南的灵秀、漠北的辽阔,如“日出江花红胜火,春来江水绿如蓝”“大漠孤烟直,长河落日圆”;大地的厚重、天空的旷远,如“北风卷地白草折,胡天八月即飞雪”“晴空一鹤排云上,便引诗情到碧霄”;有“飞流直下三千尺”雄奇壮丽的庐山瀑布,亦有“落霞与孤鹜齐飞”声威古今的滕王高阁……祖国大好河山尽藏于文人墨客笔下,给予我们无限美的享受。

体悟文化之情。传统文化饱含华夏儿女对美好生活的朴素情感。既有叙述“停杯投箸不能食,拔剑四顾心茫然”怀才不遇的落寞,也有抒发“醉卧沙场君莫笑,古来征战几人回”建功立业的豪迈;既有“劝君更饮一杯酒,西出阳关无故人”的离愁别绪,“夕阳西下,断肠人在天涯”的羁旅之思,亦有“人有悲欢离合,月有阴晴圆缺”的感时伤逝;既描绘了“何当共剪西窗烛,却话巴山夜雨时”的真挚爱情,也表达“采菊东篱下,悠然见南山”的高雅志趣。古人借助文学作品巧妙寄寓了自己的充沛情感,抒发了高洁志趣和情怀,令人回味无穷、遐想不已。

传承文化之魂。传统文化凝聚着中华民族自强不息的精神追求。有的倾注了强烈的爱国主义情怀,如“夜阑卧听风吹雨,铁马冰河入梦来”“出师未捷身先死,长使英雄泪满襟”;有的彰显了包容精神和集体意识,如“安得广厦千万间,大庇天下寒士俱欢颜”“天下兴亡,匹夫有责”;有的表达了谦恭仁爱思想,如“有朋自远方来,不亦乐乎”“己所不欲,勿施于人”;有的体现了自力更生、拼搏奋斗精神,如“千磨万击还坚劲,任尔东南西北风”“天行健,君子以自强不息”。“一花独放不是春,百花齐放春满园”,更是对“人类命运共同体”思想的精辟诠释。品读起来,让人意味隽永,掩卷而思,赋予后人取之不尽、用之不竭的精神财富。

文化是一个民族的灵魂,是支撑民族进步的脊梁,是前人留给我们最珍贵的瑰宝。水有源,木有根,守望共同美好的家园,需要我们把文化之根留住。珍爱中华传统文化吧!将其世世代代传承下去,或许,这一切还不算太迟!

It maybe our common desires to experience a meaning life, but when it comes

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.

continue to disappear.

篇20:关于茶的英语作文初中

全文共 1688 字

"When a guest comes to my home from afar on a cold night, I light bamboo to

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.
