+ 加入清单when we think of halloween, we think of "trick or treat", pumpkins, jack o lanterns, vampires and haunted houses.
but do you know the origin of halloween? why does it fall on 31 october? what kind of festival is it? why is it so creepy?
halloween dates back to a celtic festival called samhain. november 1 is the new year of the celts, who lived in europe more than a thousand years ago. this is the day which marked the end of summer and harvest.
the celts believed that on the night of october 31, ghosts of the dead would return to earth. the celts celebrated samhain by dressing up in costumes with animal heads and having bonfires.
many celts settled in britain and ireland, where the festival became popular. those who moved to america took the tradition with them.
nowadays, most people celebrate halloween but only for fun. they are not worried about ghosts.
kids in america will dress up as devils or angels and will go from house to house calling "trick or treat", playing mischievous tricks and getting sweets.
americans spend more money on halloween than christmas! in xx, more than hk$45 billion was spent on halloween. and hk$15 billion of that was spent on candy alone!!!
kids in britain also dress up at halloween. they visit houses, sing songs or tell a joke to get sweets. many go to halloween parties and play games like "ducking for apples". you must pick up an apple in water but you can only use your mouth. try it!

+ 加入清单It is believed that the computer is bringing the world into a brand new
era. At the time the computer was invented, scientists, marveling at its
calculating speed, felt that they had created a miracle. Nowadays, the function
of the computer is no longer confined to calculation; it permeates people’s
daily lives and has become an inseparable part of human society.
People become so heavily dependent on computers that it is hard to imagine
the life without computers. Therefore, some people are worried that “The real
danger is not that the computer will think like man, but man will think like the
computer.”
Their concern does make sense. Indeed, some people spend such a long time
working on computers that they have few interactions with people in real life.
According to a research, too many hours in front of a computer may lead to a
poker face and interpersonal isolation. This fact should arouse our attention,
because unlike computers, human beings are social creatures that need emotional
connections with others.
Yet, it is also unnecessary for us to be overwhelmed by the negative
impacts of computers. After all, we humans are intelligent and will be able to
figure out better ways to make improvements.

篇12:关于英语作文traveling
全文共 955 字
+ 加入清单More and more people now show their great interests intraveling, because
traveling can bring us a lot of benefits.
To begin with, having worked hard for a few months, traveling can release
us from high pressure. More importantly, traveling can help us acquire more
knowledge. No matter how many books we have read, there is still plenty of
knowledge for us to learn from traveling, like history, culture, custom, and
geography of the places we visit. By the way, through traveling, we can meet
many new friends and taste different kinds of delicious food.
While some people are not interested in traveling at all, since traveling
will cost a great deal of money on transportation and accommodation, and they
may feel tired after sightseeing as well.
As far as I’m concerned, the advantages of traveling are more than its
disadvantages, so if our time and finance permit, we can travel to some nice
places every year, in order to make our life more colorful and vivid.
篇13:关于代沟英语作文高中
全文共 999 字
+ 加入清单Generation gap refers to the misunderstanding between the old and young.
The term came into fashion after the 1980s. However, in recent years, the
phenomenon is getting more and more fierce.
How does generation gap come into being? The first reason is that the two
generations have grown up in different ages, thus they have different attitudes
toward life. Secondly, due to having little in common with each other, they are
unwilling to sit down and talk face to face. Besides, as modern life is so
stressful, both of them are so busy with their study or work that they have not
enough time to exchange their ideas.
To bridge the generation gap is not easy at all, but we can do something to
shorten it. For one thing, children should respect their parents as well as
accept their good advice. For another, parents should not only show their love
and care to the kids, but also support their good life view. As long as the old
and young can understand each other, it would be more harmonious in family and
world.
篇14:关于全球变暖英语
全文共 2051 字
+ 加入清单Many people believe that human activity is causing the earth’s temperature
to rise. They say that this global warming will have dreadful consequences for
our environment, such as drought and flooding.
What should governments do to help prevent global warming? Give reasons for
your suggestions.
The earth’s temperature is rapidly changing. As a result there has been a
lot of climate change such as heat waves, droughts and floods. Scientists
believe that this is the result of human activity, which is polluting the
Earth’s atmosphere. This could become a disaster if governments do not act to
help prevent global warming. They can act in three ways; by supporting research,
by making laws and by keeping the general public informed.
Firstly, governments can support research. For example, they should
encourage companies to develop vehicles that cause less pollution. They should
also support alternative sources of electricity from wind and water rather than
from oil and coal. As well, they should sponsor conferences to discuss the
effects of greenhouse gas emissions and possible solutions to the problem.
Secondly, they should make laws that limit the amount of greenhouse gases
that companies can emit. Private companies should be rewarded for following
these laws. They should also be punished for creating pollution.
Finally, everybody is affected by global warming. Therefore, it is
important that governments involve individuals in the problem solving process.
For example they should encourage households to save as much energy as possible
by using more efficient light bulbs or less hot water. They should also
encourage the public to recycle, and this should be compulsory for everyone.
Another way of saving energy is by public transport systems. Governments should
spend money on public transport to make it as easy as possible for the public to
save energy.
In summary, it is clear that there are a lot of things that governments can
do to prevent global warming. They should involve companies, support scientists
and encourage individuals to protect the planet.

篇17:关于清明节英语
全文共 1630 字
+ 加入清单The tomb sweeping day is one of the traditional festivals in China. On
April 5th, people start to visit their ancestors’ tombs. Generally speaking,
people will bring the home-made food, some fake money and paper-made mansion to
their ancestors. When they start to honour their ancestor, they will light up
some candles and incense, put some flowers around the tombs. The most important
thing is to put the home-made food in front of the tombs. The food, also known
as sacrifices, is usually made up with a chicken, a fish and some pork. It’s a
symbol of the offspring’s respect to the ancestors. People believe that the
forbears will share the food with them. The children dedicate the food and money
to their forbears in order to show their love and caring. The young offspring
will go down on their knees and pray for their ancestors. They can say their
wishes in front of the tombs and the ancestors will make their dreams come
true.
In some provinces of China, people use different activities to commemorate
this day, for instance, spring-outing, swinging, tree planting and making
special food. One special food is Ay Tsao rice balls. It looks like Tang-yuan,
but its colour is green. Mix the ay tsao juice with the rice powder, then make
it into small balls. The Ay Tsao rice ball is done. People believe that eating
ay tsao rice balls can get rid of the bad luck and everything will go smoothly.
Other activities such as spring outing, tree planting are the other ways to
commemorate the forbears. For one thing, it is a sign that people should look
into the future and embrace the hope; for another thing, we do hope our ancestor
rest in peace.

篇19:中秋节英语的作文
全文共 2824 字
+ 加入清单Mooncakes are to Mid-Autumn Festival what mince pies are to Christmas. The seasonal round cakes traditionally have a sweet filling of lotus seed paste or red bean paste and often have one or more salted duck eggs in the center to represent the moon. And the moon is what this celebration is all about. Mid-Autumn Festival falls on the 15th day of the 8th month,it is the time when the moon is said to be at its brightest and fullest.
There are two legends which claim to explain the tradition of eating mooncakes. One Tang Dynasty myth holds that the Earth once had 10 suns circling it. One day all 10 suns appeared at once,scorching the planet with their heat. It was thanks to a skillful archer named Hou Yi that the Earth was saved. He shot down all but one of the suns. As his reward,the Heavenly Queen Mother gave Hou Yi the Elixir of Immortality,but she warned him that he must use it wisely. Hou Yi ignored her advice and,corrupted by fame and fortune,became a tyrannical leader. Chang-Er,his beautiful wife, could no longer stand by and watch him abuse his power so she stole his Elixir and fled to the moon to escape his angry wrath. And thus began the legend of the beautiful woman in the moon,the Moon Fairy.
The second legend has it that during the Yuan Dynasty,an underground group led by Zhu Yuan Zang was determined to rid the country of Mongolian dominance. The moon cake was created to carry a secret message. When the cake was opened and the message read,an uprising was unleashed which successfully routed the Mongolians. It happened at the time of the full moon,which,some say,explains why mooncakes are eaten at this time. Mooncakes are usually stamped with Chinese characters indicating the name of the bakery and the type of filling used. Some bakeries will even stamp them with your family name so that you can give personalised ones to friends and family. They are usually presented in boxes of four which indicate the four phases of the moon. Traditional mooncakes are made with melted lard,but today vegetable oil is more often used in the interests of health. Mooncakes are not for the diet-conscious as they are loaded with calories. The best way to wash down one of these sticky cakes is with a cup of Chinese tea,especially Jasmine or Chrysanthemum tea,which aids the digestion.
中秋节吃月饼就像西方人圣诞节吃百果馅饼一样,是必不可少的。圆圆的月饼中通常包有香甜的莲子馅或是红豆馅,馅的中央还会加上一个金黄的咸鸭蛋黄来代表月亮。而月亮正是中秋节庆祝的主题。每年农历8月15日人们一起庆祝中秋,据说这一天的月亮是一年中最亮最圆的。
关于吃月饼这个传统的来历有两个传说。一个是唐朝的神话故事,说的是当时地球被10个太阳包围着。有一天10个太阳同时出现在天空中,巨大的热量几乎把地球烤焦了。多亏一位名叫后羿的神箭手射下了9个太阳,地球才被保住。为了奖励后羿,王母娘娘赐给后羿一种长生不老药,但是王母警告他必须正当使用。然而后羿没有理会王母娘娘的警告,他被名利冲昏了头脑,变成了一个暴君。后羿美丽的妻子嫦娥对他的暴行再也不能袖手旁观,于是她偷走了后羿的长生不老药,飞到月亮上逃避后羿的狂怒。从此就有了关于月宫仙子嫦娥,这个月亮上的美丽女人的传说。
第二个传说讲的是在元朝,朱元璋领导的起义军计划起义来摆脱蒙古族的统治。他们用月饼来传递密信。掰开月饼就可以找到里面的密信,起义军通过这种方式成功的发动了起义,赶走了元朝的统治者。这场起义发生在八月十五之时,于是中秋节吃月饼的习俗便在民间传开来。
