means the happiness and luck. So that’s the meaning of White Christmas. It

lady called Bruce Dodd put forward that people should establish father’s day. At

fathers day yet. Lady Dodd had lost her mother when she was very young, her

father raised her grew up. Lady Dodd was so thankful for what her father had

done for her that she wrote a letter to the government. In the letter, she

appeals to establish the fathers day. The government accepted her suggestion

and decided that the third Sunday of June is the national father’s day. In 1972,

the president Nixon had passed the law and agreed that the father’s day is on

June the third Sunday. From this year, the world started to celebrate father’s

day.

On this special day, the children usually dedicate flowers to their

fathers. The red roses to those who still alive, while the white ones to the

fallings. Fathers always are considered being the central of the whole family.

Without father in the family, home may feel insecure. The father always fights

for the family and support the family. On this day, we can do something for our

fathers. For instance, we can make a breakfast for them, or buy them a nice tie.

We should spend more time with our father, show our love to them.

The father’s day is coming, take this chance, and tell our fathers that we

love him. Happy father’s day!

篇6:关于网购英语高一

全文共 1836 字

The usage of Internet becomes one of the most controversial topics in the

society. As a college student, I believe Internet is beneficial to me more than

the way it harms me. There are many advantages for using Internet.

First, I can best use my time to find information online instead of going

to different libraries. Also, the information can be dated back in decades ago.

It is very helpful to use those information as reference and historical proof.

In the library, it is hard to find so much "old" information. Another advantage

to use Internet is that I can stay home and have a lecture online. It is much

more convenience to me because I can stay warm to have class in the winter time

instead of spending two hours on the bus and physically attend class. In

addition, Internet provides me a better way to communicate with my friends and

professors. I can get response from my professor in a few minutes instead of

waiting outside of his door for hours. Some of my friends are living in a

foreign countries, I can simply just drop him an email whenever I can and get a

message from him very quick. It is much better than waiting for letters. Also,

the email will not lose while the letter might be losing in the process of

delivery.

However, there are also disadvantage of using Internet. For example, I

might spend too much time on the Internet to concentrate on my study. Also,

there is a chance that I am cheated because of the Internet purchasing. Last,

Internet has lots of information, both helpful and harmful. There might be too

much tempatation that I will access some of the harmful information I can on the

Internet.

Even though the usage of Internet has both positive and negative effect to

me, I still consider Internet is a symbol of technology development. I believe I

can use the Internet very well as long as I know how to control myself.

Once a child asked such a question: What can I benefit from being "a good

child"? Among the many answers he received one ran like this: "A good child" is

the most precious gift God gives to you. And the same can be said for being

honest. It pays to be honest.

Yes, its true that dishonesty exists almost everywhere in the society.

Consumers often found themselves being blackmailed by those merchants selling

shoddy products; and there are students

Cheating in order to pass the exams or get high marks; moreover, we are not

short of examples that many rich professionals evade the taxes by sacrificing

the interests of government.

But havent we seen their results? "A fall into the pit, a gain in

customers wit", which would surely drive those dishonest merchants out of

business. Regret of wasting time yet being

Empty-handed would accompany those dishonest students all their life. On

the contrary, we could have all they lost, especially a good reputation and a

clear conscience, which are the best qualities of human beings. Thats why we

say "It Pays to Be Honest".

In western countries, the annual April 1st "fools Day" means a person can play a variety of tricks and dont have to bear the consequences. Called a "fools Day joke" your trick will be forgive.

这是一个区别软心肠和硬心肠的日子,软心肠者却使被骗的人看上去的却愚蠢万分。有位妇女攒集了几年来她从别的妇女那儿得到的名片,再向对自己用心毫无察觉的朋友那儿索取一些,然后带着大把这样的名片去赴愚人节聚会。她肆无忌惮地同人调情,暗示与她共度一夜将会得到“不一般”的乐趣,然后塞给每一位要求再次相会的男人一张别的女人的名片。

【延伸阅读】愚人节的起源

In Britain, fooling at this time of year has gone on for centuries, however the originof the customstill remains obscure. There are several theories to account for it.

在英国,愚人节的传统已经有好几个世纪的历史了,即便如此,这项的传统的起源还是一个迷。下面介绍两个较为人熟知的愚人节的起源。

One theory is that in Europe, until the sixteenth century, March 25th, the first day of the Vernal EquinoxFestival, was New Years Day. On April 1st, the last day of the festival, people used to give presents to one another. In 1564, Charles IX, the French king, adopting the Gregorian calendarand fixed January 1st as New Years Day. Those who were against the revisioncontinued to express their complaints by giving presents or paying New Years visits on April 1st. In the following years, these traditionalists who insisted on celebrating the New Year at its old time were mockedas fools and people would play pranks and tricks on them and called them ` Poisson davril , meaning April Fish. This must have been so much fun that it spread all over the world and people played tricks on everyone, not just the people who didnt accept the new calendar.

第一种说法是,在16世纪前的欧洲,3月25日是春分节的第一天,也是新年。而4月1日是春分节的最后一天,在这天,人们常常会去给别人送礼。在1564年,法国皇帝查尔斯九世正式采用公历,规定每年的1月1日为新年。而那些不接受这一规定的人则仍旧在4月1日送礼或进行新年旅行来表示他们的不满。几年后,那些依然遵循旧历庆祝新年的顽固派被当成了愚人,其他人会嘲笑和捉弄这些愚人,并戏称他们为“Poisson davril”,就是“愚人”的意思。这种捉弄愚人的风俗肯定给人们带去了很多的欢乐,所以,愚人节传遍世界,人们不仅仅捉弄那些不接受新历的人,还对周围所有的人都开起了玩笑。

Other people say its just a continuationof a festival in honour ofthe Celtic god of Mirthbut most popular belief is that its a reaction to the change in season and the start of spring. Whatever its origin, making fools of people on this day remains one of the most flourishingof all British customs.

另一种说法认为,愚人节只是为了向凯尔特的欢乐之神致敬而流传下来的一个节日。不过,大多数人相信,愚人节标志着季节的变化和春天的来临。不管起源如何,愚人节当天的愚人活动已经成了一项盛行于英国的风俗了。

In Scotland, for example, April Fools Day is actually celebrated for two days. The second day is devoted to pranks involving the posteriorregion of the body. It is called Taily Day. The origin of the "kick me" sign can be traced to this observance.

在苏格兰,人们会用两天时间庆祝愚人节。第二天是专门让人们去捉弄别人的,你可以在这一天去踢别人的屁股。这天被称为“续愚人节”,而在别人后背上贴上“踢我”的标签就起源于此。

篇18:关于水果英语作文初4

全文共 1949 字

Of the fruits of the year I give my vote to the orange. In the first place

it is a perennial--if not in actual fact, at least in the greengrocer’s shop. On

the days when dessert is a name given to a handful of chocolates and a little

preserved ginger, when macédoine de fruits is the title bestowed on some raisins

and two prunes, then the orange, however sour, comes nobly to the rescue; and on

those other days of plenty when cherries and strawberries and kiwi-fruits riot

together upon the table, the orange, sweeter than ever, is still there to hold

its own. Bread and rice, beef and mutton, eggs and milk, are not more necessary

to an ordered existence than the orange.

It is well that the commonest fruit should be also the best. Of the virtues

of the orange I have not room fully to speak. It has properties of health

giving, as it cures influenza and establishes the complexion. It is clean, for

whoever handles it on its way to your table but handles its outer covering, its

top coat, which is left in the hall. It is round, and forms an excellent

substitute with the young for a tiny football. The pips can be flicked at your

enemies, and quite a small piece of peel makes a slide for an old gentleman.

But all this would count nothing had not the orange such delightful

qualities of taste. I dare not let myself go upon this subject. I am a slave to

its sweetness.

Yet with the orange we go live year in and year out. That speaks well for

the orange. The fact is that there is an honesty about the orange which appeals

to all of us. If it is going to be bad--for the best of us are bad sometimes--it

begins to be bad from the outside, not from the inside. How many a pear which

presents a blooming face to the world is rotten at the core. How many an

innocent-looking apple, is harboring a worm in the bud. But the orange has no

secret faults. Its outside is a mirror of its inside, and if you are quick you

can tell the shopman so before he slips it into the bag.
