我的房间很可爱,也很明亮。它不大,但是干净整洁。

一走进我的房间,你就会看到一扇大窗户。透过窗户你可以看到蓝蓝的天空和绿色的树。有时你也会看到一些鸟儿在天空飞翔。

在窗户下面是一张大桌子。桌子上放了一些学习用品和我的笛子。

在桌子的右边是一个书架。在书架上你能找到各种书籍。我最喜欢关于动物和科学方面的书籍。紧挨着书架的是我最喜欢的东西——电脑。它使我获得知识,让我快乐。在门的对面是我的舒适的床。在我床上的墙上有两张地图。一张是中国地图,另一张是世界地图。我可以从它们那里学到很多东西。

这就是我的房间。我喜欢独自呆在我的房间里做作业。在我的业余时间里我还喜欢在我的房间里吹笛子。我的房间是我的小世界。

My room is lovely and bright. Its not big,but its clean and tidy.

On walking into my room,you can see a big window. Through the window you can see the blue sky and green trees. Sometimes you also can see some birds flying in the sky. Under the window is a big desk.

Next to the shelf is my favourite thing—computer. It gives me knowledge and makes me happy. Opposite the door is my comfortable bed. On the wall above the bed are two maps. One is a map of China,the others is a map of the world. I learn a lot of things from them.

This is my room. I like to stay in my room alone and do my homework. I like playing the flute in my spare time in it. My room is my small world.

篇20:以诚信为主题高一英语

全文共 1994 字

+ 加入清单

My grandparents believed you were either honest or you werent. There was

no in between. They had a simple motto hanging on their living-room wall: "Life

is like a field of newly fallen snow; where I choose to walk every step will

show. "They didnt have to talk about it--they demonstratedthe motto by the way

they lived. They understood instinctively that integrity means having a personal

standard of morality and ethics that does not sell out to expediency and that is

not relative to the situation at hand. Integrity is an inner standard for

judging your behavior.Unfortunately, integrity is in short supply today--and

getting scarcer. But it is the real bottom line in every area of society.And it

is something we must demand of ourselves.

A good test for this value is to look at what I call the Integrity Trial,

which consists of three key principles: Stand firmly for your convictions in the

face of personal pressure.

When you know youre right, you cant back down. Always give others credit

that is rightfully theirs. Dont be afraid of those who might have a better idea

or who might even be smarter than you are. Be honest and open about who you

really are. People who lack genuine core values rely on external factors--their

looks or status---in order to feel good about themselves. Inevitably they will

do everything they can to preserve this facade,but they will do very little to

develop their inner value and personal growth.

So be yourself. Dont engage in a personal cover-up of areas that are

unpleasing in your life. When its tough, do it tough. In other words, face

reality and be adult in your responses to lifes challenges.

Self-respect and a clear conscience are powerful components of integrity

and are the basis for enriching your relationships with others.

Integrity means you do what you do because its right and not just

fashionable or politically correct. A life of principle, of not succumbing to

the seductive sirens of an easy morality,will always win the day. My

grandparents taught me that.
