+ 加入清单my secret worry
while fear of death is universal, my worry about death is so overwhelming that there is not a moment passing without my thinking of it. i never bring this up with any other, just because no one will ever realize the seriousness of this problem. i know it very clearly that as long as there is life, there will be death. in addition, though i am still so far away from death, i have been plagued by the thought of it for years. fortunately, the root of my fear of death lies in my overzealous love for life. i am too timid to think of the end of life, when every worldly affair should be thrown away. how can i carry on without friendship, affection, and joy of being alive? i really hate to leave all these behind. to ease my worry about death, i should make the fullest use of this life i now possess. concentration on this life can at least temporally make me forget about death. as a matter of fact, i really don't need to worry so much about death, for i already have too much to worry about this life.
篇3:描述生活英语高中

+ 加入清单However mean your life is, meet it and live it; do not shun it and call it
hard names. It is not as bad as you are.
It looks poorest when you are richest. The fault-finder will find faults in
paradise. Love your life, poor as it is.
You may perhaps have some pleasant, thrilling, glorious hours, even in a
poor-house. The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the alms-house as
brightly as from the rich mans abode; the snow melts before its door as early
in the spring. I do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there, and
have as cheering thoughts, as in a palace.

+ 加入清单Everyone admires beauty. Everyone has his own standard about beauty.
Nowadays some people tend to think that they own beauty if they have a good
looking. They are not satisfied with their appearance. They spend much money
taking a kind of operation. Can beauty really be man-made? If so, everybody can
get beauty. As a result, there is no beauty at all.
The appearance is given by our parents and is unique in the world. Everyone
should value it. Id rather prefer nature as the standard of beauty. Just accept
yourself, accept everything the god gives to you, and create the beautiful life
belong to you.
Many heroes dont have beautiful surface. However, their beautiful images
often come to our minds. Their beauty comes from their contributions to the
society.
Dont be eager to judge whether a person is beautiful or not without a
thorough understanding of him. A beautiful person is not the one with a good
looking, but with a broad and kind heart.
Good looking is pleasant while spiritual beauty is more important. As an
old saying goes, “ Virtue is fairer than beauty. ” If you have a kind heart, you
own real beauty.

篇14:高中英语作文中常见的100个错误
全文共 4114 字
+ 加入清单写作是对同学们英语综合能力的考查,是最能体现大家英语水平的一种检测方式。学生在写作的过程当中经常会暴露一些弱点、犯一些错误。今天,我们对大家英语作文中的常见错误进行简要归纳,并举以实例,大家在今后的英语写作中要尽量避免这些错误的发生。
一.名词
写作中,学生们常把握不好名词的数、所有格以及一些集合名词的用法。
1.Hegavemeaverygoodadviceyesterday.
句中的a要去掉,因为advice是不可数名词。一些汉语概念为可数的词在英语中却是不可数的,表示数量时在要其前加apieceof,类似的词有:news,bread,work,paper,chalk,furniture,information等等。
2.Thatgirllovesreadingbook.
可数名词单数不能孤零零地放在句子里,或前面加冠词,或将其变为复数。此处最好变为books.
3.Hewentintoabooksshopandboughtadictionary.
一般表示有生命的东西的名词的所有格用’s,如mymother’scar,而此处适宜用名词修饰名词,改为abookshop.
4.MyfamilyiswatchingTV.
一些集合名词如看成一个整体,则用单数的谓语动词,如Myfamilyisahappyone.如果强调集合中每个个体的个人行为,则用复数的谓语动词。此处看电视是个体行为,应把is改为are。类似的词有:team,class,audience等。
5.Iboughtsomepotatosandtomatosatthesupermarket.
中学阶段,以“o”结尾的名词中有四个词变复数时要加es,它们是tomato,potato,Negro,hero;其余的都加s变为复数。
6.Thishasnothingtodowiththeirbelieves.(这和他们的信仰没关系。)
以f,fe结尾的词变为复数时一般去f,fe加ves,如knife—knives,
thief—thieves;而roof和belief直接加s变为复数。所以应把believes改为beliefs.
二.冠词
7.Thebosswantstohireanusefulperson.
用a还是an,取决于后面单词音标中的第一个音,如为元音用an,为辅音用a。useful的第一个音是辅音所以应把an改为a。类似的,我们说aEuropeancountry.
8.Planeisamachinethatcanfly.
plane为可数名词单数,不能单独放在句中,应在其前加冠词或把它变为复数,而本句后有amachine,因此只能在其前面加a,变为Aplane。
9.Heplayedapianoatthepartyyesterday.
把a改为the,因为乐器前用定冠词。
10.Themachinewasinventedin1920s.
在in后加the,因为表示年代用in加the再加几十的复数,如在八十年代inthe80s。
11.XiaoHongwenttoschoolbythebuseveryday.
去掉the,因为表示交通方式用by直接加交通工具。
三.代词
使用代词时请注意其单、复数,主、宾格以及形容词性物主代词和名词性物主代词的用法。
12.Heisoneofthosespeakerswhomakehisideasperfectlyclear.
定语从句的先行词是thosespeakers,为复数,因此从句中的指示代词应为复数,应把his改为their。
13.Whomdoyouthinkhasleftthelightson?
放在疑问句特殊疑问词后的doyouthink/believe/guess/imagine/suppose等都不参与句子成分。本句中去掉doyouthink后缺的是主语,应把Whom改为Who。
14.ThebosspretendednottoseeJohnandI.
John和I在句中都做的宾语,应把I改为me。
15.Thesebooksaremine;thoseinthebagareher.
her是形容词性物主代词,后面应该加名词books,或把her改为hers。
四.数词
16.Therearefourteenhundredsstudentsinourschool.
hundred/thousand/million/score/dozen等词前有具体数字时后不加s,前面没有具体数字时在其后加s和of,表示大约几百几千的概念。如two
hundredstudents(两百个学生),hundredsofstudents(成百上千个学生)。例句中应把hundreds改为hundred。
17.Theirschoolistwiceaslargerasourschool.
表倍数关系的as...as中间只能用形容词或副词的原级。因此应把larger改为large.
18.Today’shomeworkisafive-hundred-wordscomposition.
几个单词由连字符连接而组成的复合形容词中的名词只能用单数,所以把five-hundred-words改为five-hundred-word.
19.TwothirdofthestudentsinourschoolarefromAmerica.
英语表达中分数的分子用基数词,分母用序数词,分子大于一时分母后要加s,所以就把third改为thirds.
五.形容词和副词
形容词和副词容易被误用,形容词和副词的比较级和最高级也是应注意的重点。
20.Thepatientappearednervouslywhenhetalkedtothedoctor.
appear在此是个系动词,其后应接形容词作表语。所以应把nervously改为nervous.
21.Theartistworkedhardlytofinishhisdrawingsontime.
此句需要一个副词来修饰,hardly是副词,但意为“几乎不”,hard也可以是副词,表努力,因此把hardly改为hard.
22.Thisshirtismorecheaperthanthatone.
more只构成比较级,而不能修饰比较级。因此把more去掉。
23.Heisthemostsuccessfulofthetwobusinessmen.
两者相比较时,比较级前用定冠词,三者或三者以上才用most,因此把most改为more.
24.Heworkslessharderthanheusedto.
表不如?...时用less加上形容词和副词的原级,因此把harder改为hard.
25.Thebookisfairlymoreinterestingthanthatone.
fairly只能修饰形容词和副词的原级,可以修饰比较级的副词或短语有:much,even,still,far,alot,alittle,abit,any,no,byfar,rather等,因此把fairly改为rather.
26.Thisisasaninterestingastoryastheoneinthemagazine.
as?as中间的词序是as加上形容词加上a(n)加上名词再加上as,因此应改为asinterestingastoryastheone.
27.Theweatherhereisnicerthan.
同样的事物才能相比较,weather和不具有可比性,因此应改为Theweatherhereisnicerthanthatof.
29.Iwouldrathertakeatrainthanwentbybus.
这个词组为wouldratherdo?thando?,因此把went改为go.
30.Isthereinterestinganythingatthemeeting?
修饰anything,something,everything,nothing的形容词都要放在它们的后面。
31.Ineverhaveseensuchapersonbefore.
像never之类的副词在句中应放在be动词、助动词之后,实意动词之前。因为应改为Ihaveneverseensuchapersonbefore.
32.Thebookisworthtoberead.
beworthdoing意为值得被做。因此改为Thebookisworthreading.
33.Itissurethathewillsucceed.
sure的主语只能为人,而certain的主语可为人和物。因此把sure改为certain.
34.Heisregardedasoneofthebestalivewritersatpresent.
alive为表语形容词,偶尔也做后置定语。因此把alive改为living,或把alive放在writers后面。
35.Idon’tknowthathehasfinishedtheworkyet.
yet用于否定和疑问句,already用于肯定句。把yet改为already.
36.Hesaidnearlynothingatthemeeting.
nearly不与否定词用在同一个句子中,而almost可以。因此把nearly改为almost。
六.介词
37.Heusuallygoestoschoolbyhisfather’scar.
by加上名词表示一种交通方式,中间什么都不加,如bycar,bybus,byplane等;如果名词前有其他的词修饰,则应用除by以外的其他介词,此处把by改为in.
38.Pleasewaitmeattheschoolgate.
wait为不及物动词,需加介词for后才能再跟名词或代词做宾语。
39.HehasbeenmarriedwithBettyformorethantwentyyears.
marry不跟with连用,应把with改为to。
40.Ifinishedtheworkontimeunderthehelpofhim.

篇16:高一英语作文腊八节介绍
全文共 1415 字
+ 加入清单The majority Han Chinese have long followed the tradition of eating laba rice porridge on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. The date usually falls in min-January and is a traditional Chinese festival.
Legend about the origin of this festivity abounds One maintains that over 3,000 years ago sacrificial rites were held in the twelfth lunar month when people offered up their prey to the gods of heaven and earth. The Chinese characters for the hunt and the twelfth month were interchangeable then, and ever since la has been used to refer to both. Since the festival was held on the eighth day of the last month, people later appended the number eighth , giving us the current laba.
Buddhism was well accepted in the areas inhabited Han Chinese, who believed that Sakyamuni, the first Buddha and founder of the religion, attained enlightenment on 12/8. Sutras were chanted in the temples and rice porridge with beans, nuts and dried fruit was prepared for the Buddha. With time the custom extended, especially in rural areas where peasants would pray for a plentiful harvest in this way.
There is, however, another touching story. When Sakyamuni was on his way into the high mountains in his quest for understanding and enlightenment, he grew tired and hungry. Exhausted from days of walking, he passed into unconsciousness by a river in India. A shepherdess found him there and fed him her lunch.

+ 加入清单I still remember the first time I went to the zoo.
When I was only five years old, my mother took me there.We took the camera and went to the station together. There were so many monkeys, tigers, lions, wolves and other animals in the zoo. We took many photos in the zoo with the animals. I was pleased to see so many real animals at the same time. They seemed so lovely and active.
I spent a nice day. But on my way home, I began to feel sorry for them. They were taken away from their parents and friends and also far away from the nature. They must have felt lonely, I thought. Every day, the only thing they could do was to sit there and wait for food.
我仍然记得第一次去动物园的那一天。
5岁那年,妈妈带我去动物园。我们带了相机一起过去。那里有猴子、老虎、狮子和狼等等,我们跟它们照了很多相。我很高兴能同时看见那么多活灵活现的动物,他们看上去又活泼又可爱。
我度过了快乐的一天。可是在我回家的路上,我开始替它们难过起来。人们把它们从父母和朋友身边捉走,它们一定感觉很孤单,我想。它们每天惟一可做的事就是等着人们来喂食。

+ 加入清单Henan has a humid warm-temperate climate. Dry and windy in winter and spring, the province is hot and rainy in summer and bakes in strong sunlight during the autumn months. Rainfall averages about 600-1000 millimeters increasing from north to south, as does the annual temperature which increases from about 12.8C in the north to 15.5C in the south.
Henan province is considered the cradle of Chinese civilization due to its location on the Yellow River. This rich historic heritage has endowed Henan with numerous historic treasures, from primitive dwellings to earliest wheel thrown pottery. The remains of some of the earliest human settlements have been unearthed here, including the over 7000-year-old Peiligang Culture Site, the 6000-year-old Yangshao Culture Remains and the 5000-year-old Dahe Culture Remains. All these cultural remains have profound significance in the history of Chinese civilization.
Luoyang City has been the capital of nine dynasties since the time of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty (770BC-221BC). There are many historical sites to be viewed in Luoyang as well as the opportunity to purchase replicas of the famed Tang three-glaze horses. Luoyangs Longmen Grottoes, famous for its grand treasure trove of Chinese Buddhist statues, are located 12km (7 miles) south of Luoyang. First sculpted and chiseled around 493 AD when the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty (386-534) was moved from Datong City to Luoyang, the grottoes of Luoyang house an awe-inspiring collection of sculpted Buddha and other religious subjects.
Kaifeng, one of the ancient capitals, also boasts the following buildings worthy of a visit: Iron Pagoda (Tie Ta) of the Northern Song Dynasty (960-1127), Dragon Pavilion (Long Ting) - site of imperial palace of the Song and Jin dynasties - and the 1400-year-old Xiangguo Temple which is one of the most famous Buddhist temples in China. Also on view in Kaifeng are ruins of the Shang Dynasty, an important part of human cultural and historic heritage. The Shang Dynasty Ruins, also known as the Yin Ruins, are famous because of the unique style of the large palace and its grand mausoleums, in which emperors of the Shang Dynasty are buried. The bronze vessels of the Shang Dynasty, which were both finely decorated and popularly used by the citizens of the Shang Dynasty, are well-known at home and abroad.
