我们坚信,在中华民族伟大复兴的征程上,必将出现一个又一个辉煌的30年!中华民族的崛起,必将让世界为我们自豪!

Dear Jim,

I’m writing to tell you more about the new form of sharing bike--mobike

mentioned in your latest letter.

It’s very convenient to use if you have a smartphone. What you do is to

find a nearest mobike through the APP, scan the QR code on the bike, and enjoy

your trip.

Compared to other forms of sharing bike, the greatest advantage of mobike

is that you can easily find one and never worry about where to park it. It is

becoming a new trend as a means of transportation, which relieves the traffic

pressure and does good to the environment as well.

Hope to ride a mobike with you in China.

Yours,

In recent years, the volunteering spirit has spread among the Chinese

people, especially among youngsters. According to a survey, in 20__, there were

about 1,700,000 volunteers who offered service for Olympic Games. Actually, an

increasing number of people become volunteers in China every year.

Volunteering actions are of tremendous benefits to both those in need and

the society. Olympic Games are a good example. As is known to all, volunteers

played an active role in Beijing Olympic Games. Without them, it would be a

tough task to hold this un-precedent Olympic Games. Therefore, we can say that

it was those volunteers who ensured the success of these games.

As modern college students, we should get actively involved in volunteering

activities. By participating, we can learn how to work well in a team, how to

improve our interpersonal skills and organizational ability. Undoubtedly, all of

these are critical for our person growth. So, we should take this chance to

让人向往的海洋天堂青岛,是我国夏日的旅游胜地,其中它闻名中外的景点,当属海洋世界了吧!它位于青岛以西几十米的不远处。

一进门,我就被眼前墙上的画给惊呆了,只见一面白白的墙竟可以被点缀的绚丽多彩,让人痴醉、沉迷,墙上画着各种各样的鱼儿,有的鱼儿衣披“红铠甲”和其它伙伴嬉戏玩耍。有的鱼儿带着绿宝石摇头摆尾给自己打扮,还有几个个头较大的凶猛鱼怪,追赶着成群的小鱼,真是令人赞叹不已。

参观了将鱼儿们活灵活现的展墙画,我们又向前走了几步,就来到了能近距离观察鱼儿的小道,一进观赏门,我不禁张大嘴巴,瞪大眼睛,一时说不出话来,因为啊,平时在电视里才能看见的鱼类,现在离我都不到0。5米,这些鱼种类繁多,有小丑鱼、石美人、蓝线雀,其中,最让我感到神奇的还是那体平扁,宽大于长,最宽口达8米,体重3000克的蝠鲼,它的外观像极了魔鬼,随意我们又称它为魔鬼鱼,他的大手呼呼的摆动着,细长的尾巴不停的来回上下,面带着诡异的笑容,从头上游了过去,着实把我大大的吓了一跳,久久缓不过神来。

接着,我们又来到了表演区,只见那里人头传动,人山人海,我迫不及待的跑到了第一排,准备观看大家一致好评的表演,表演开始了,几条美人鱼游进了水中,用她婀娜多姿的舞蹈,赢得了大家的赞叹,我想:在他们光线美丽的背后将要付出多少的汗水,多少的努力。

接着,我们还参观了许多的地方,有教给我们海洋知识的绚丽小屋-知识屋。青春靓丽的小朋友带来的话剧表演,还有可爱的小海豚表演……

海洋馆是现代人类利用科学和智慧的大脑创造出来的,我喜欢海洋馆带给我的别样感受。

篇7:关于改变自己英语

全文共 2194 字

+ 加入清单

In our daily life, we can learn something from some cases. However, from my

point of view, I think that it is essential for us to know ourselves in a right

way. People who have a full awareness of the importance to improve themselves

will discover themselves continuously. Therefore, we can say that if we want to

change ourselves, we must bravely reveal ourselves.

Every coin has two sides, and we are no exception. When we experience some

situations, we will find that there are many advantages of us. Thus, we can have

a huge sense of satisfaction. We may have a little pride, because we are happy

that we can make good use of our advantages to solve more difficult problems in

the future. However, at the same time, we also can realize that there are still

some disadvantages of us. These disadvantages will bring us different

influences. I’d like to point out that people who can bravely accept and remove

their disadvantages will gain a bright future. On the contrary, people who

choose escape or ignorance their disadvantages will indulge themselves, and they

no further progress.

Don’t indulge yourself. If we indulge ourselves, we will meet more terrible

suffering in our later life. I know that when we find our weakness, we may say

that I will never do that again, and regret doing so meaningless thing. I am

such a fool. But when we meet similar situations next time, we will still tell

ourselves that it doesn’t matter that I do it again. Then we will indulge

ourselves to expand our disadvantages. It shows that some people who have no own

principle will fail to realize their promises. When we can overcome our

laziness, we will understand that solving some problems may be not so difficult.

Therefore, we should try our best to control ourselves to pursue higher

development.

There are no any excuses to indulge yourself. We should tell ourselves that

we are capable to overcome our weakness, though it needs much time. However, if

we succeed once, then we will be successful again. Last, we don’t indulge

ourselves. We will become more complete.

Everyone can take actions to improve themselves. Don’t indulge yourself. If

you succeed, you will acquire a huge wealth, and your life will become more

brilliant.

The news that Mr Cai had passed away was known, and I fell into great

sorrow. The sound of the rain knocking on the window was so mournful that it

deepened my distress.

My memory brought me back to the class when I saw him for the last

time.

That evening it was raining, too. We started our lesson as usual at a

quarter past six. I sat in the first row, and I saw Mr Cai press his stomach

with a hand from time to time, but I didn’t know the reason then. The two hours

passed quickly. When the lesson came to an end,Mr Cai told us that he had

possibly developed a stomach cancer, and would go to Beijing to see a doctor. If

there was nothing serious, he would continue to teach us after he came back. He

was very calm and his voice was steady. He still gave us some homework. He said

that he would mark the papers as soon as he came back.

Then I started to wait for his return. I had not thought that I would not

see him any more. The cancer had taken his life, even though he was still

young.

Mr Cai’s words are still ringing in my ears,“I hope you will be one of the

best students.” I think I should work hard at English and live up to his

expectation .

I have lost a good teacher. Tears will dry up in time, but the memory will

stay for ever.

Everyone will have some unforgettable memories. These big and small

memories are like the shining stars in my memory, and one of them is the first

time I read science books.

It was the second day of the summer vacation for Daban. It was sunny and a

little sultry in the morning. My father said to me happily, "son, today my

father will take you to climb the mountain and enjoy the beautiful scenery on

the top of the mountain." I readily agreed. So we came to the famous Dayang

mountain in Dongzhu.

My father and I went to the foot of the mountain, looked up, and could not

see the top of Dayang mountain. My father said, "climb to the top of the

mountain and you can enjoy the most beautiful scenery in the world." I look

forward to my father.

At the beginning of climbing, I was full of energy and very relaxed. But

when I climbed to the middle of the mountain, my body became heavier and heavier

like lead. Dad saw me like this, so we rested for a while, and continued to

climb up. After a long time, I saw that I was exhausted when I was near the top

of the mountain. I begged dad to take me down the mountain. Dad encouraged me:

"hold on a little longer, and soon I will be at the top of the mountain Well,

the ancients said, "you will be at the top of the mountain and see all the small

mountains." dont you want to experience this feeling? " I gasped and said, "Dad,

I really cant climb. I cant move my legs anymore. I want to go back..." Dad

helplessly took me down the mountain.

scenery at the top of the mountain. Ive learned that if I do anything, work hard

and stick to it to the end, there will be gains. Study is also, persist in the

Hello everyone, I’m …You can call me… I am a sunny and hard-working girl from Class 79 ,Grade 1 of CE  JING  Middle School. It’s my great honor to take part in this oral petition. The title of my speech today is “Traveling and Reading”

As an ancient Chinese saying goes, “He who travels far knows much”. In my opinion, modern life is impossible without traveling. For me, there are two kinds of traveling. On the one hand, traveling on foot brings me many benefits. It can make me enjoy my holidays and many different life styles; it can broaden my vision, let me learn more about other countries or cultures. On the other hand, reading is another kind of traveling. It can bring me to the places where I can not go for the time being. Books are the best friends of human being. Books make my eyes and imagination enjoy the beautiful scenes through writhers’ wonderful description.

I have been to Beijing, Nanjing, Shandong, Hangzhou, Suzhou and other places. At the same time,I have been reading many books of different world-famous writers. The places I’ve been to and the places I only travel on books both impress a lot on me.

The above I mentioned is two kinds of my traveling. Wish you share with me my experience of traveling ,no matter Whether traveling on foot or on books.Wish you enjoy my speech today .Thank you!

Cars and Air Pollution

Too many cars have created a lot of serious problems in our world. Besides congestion, accidents and fast fuel consumption, cars are responsible for a good part of air pollution in big cities. All the time, they are pumping huge amounts of waste gases into the atmosphere. These gases are very harmful, causing disease and even death.

One possible solution is to design and develop clean cars and clean fuels. In Shanghai, some of the public buses begin to run on natural gas, which does not give off as much carbon dioxide as the petrol. But it may take decades for the new models of clean cars completely replace the traditional ones. Another solution is to develop modern public transportation systems and restrict the use of private cars. If the price of petrol rises constantly and the public vehicles are efficient and convenient enough, most people will not buy private cars. And the total number of cars in big cities will reduce greatly.

On the whole, the elimination of air pollution needs the collective efforts from the government, the public and the environmentalists.

篇16: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.

Almost everyone knows that water covers three-fourths of the earths

surface. Most of it, however, is in the oceans and is too salty to drink. Also,

some of it is frozen and cannot be used. In fact, less than one percent is left

for the use of people, animals and plant life. All through history men have

tried to build their homes near the sources of fresh water. Now fresh water is

becoming scarce, but more and more is needed because of the increasing number of

people in the world. Some industries also use large amounts of fresh water in

the production of things such as steel, petroleum, paper and rubber and so on.

Scientists estimate that the need for fresh water will have doubled by the year

2003. If they are correct, we must find new ways of saving it or producing it.

Some nations have worked on the problem and are already sharing their

information with others. They are trying to keep their rivers from becoming

polluted. Deep wells are also being dug, and rain water is being collected in

huge artificial lakes. In one way or another, they hope to provide enough water

to satisfy the needs of their people.
