to seek for business cooperation. Many years ago, a non-profit organization
named the second Saturday of July as the International Day of Cooperatives. Its
purpose is to call for more cooperations between countries.

communication between countries has increased. America is the superpower all the

Chinese people and American people. It is known to all that China’s market is

+ 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。

+ 加入清单When it comes to online shopping, different people holds different ideas
towards it. Some people seem extremely enjoy the way of buying things online
because they feel online shopping is so convenient. Some just don’t believe that
they can buy good quality commodities from Internet. As far as I’m concerned, I
think online shopping creates lots of benefits to people.
Firstly, buying things online is a way of saving time. Compared with the
traditional way of shopping, we have no need to go out to pick up our favorite
goods from store to store. Just a click, we can have things in our shopping cart
and just wait for the goods to be delivered to us. To this extent, not only we
can save the time of finding things from store to store but we don’t need to
spend time on transportation. Thus, we can save lots of time to enjoy fun.
Secondly, buying things online can save our money. People buy commodities
by Internet not only because it saves us time, but also, we can save lots of
money. It is often seen that some people just go to the physical store to check
out the commodities they want to buy and then they would search for their
favorite commodities online and take the order. People do this just because they
know that online goods are usually cheaper than the goods displayed in shop
window because online shop have no need to pay the rent. So, people are more
inclined to buying things from online store.
Thirdly, convenience is the last but not least thing of shopping online.
Since we can buy things online, there is no need to go out to look for things we
want to buy. What we need to do is to simply sit before our computer, search for
things we want to buy, click our favorite thing and then pay our order by our
bank card. And then, you just need to wait for your goods to be delivered to
your home.
In conclusion, shopping online is a convenient, time-saving and money
saving way of buying things. Therefore, we can benefit a lot from shopping
online. That’s the reason of why shopping online has developed faster and faster
in recent years.

+ 加入清单今天,是汇报课进行的倒数第二天了。管佳静在上午第三课进行汇报。整个见实习过程,她都是和我在一个办公室。所有的活动,我们一般都会两个人先一起讨论。我们各自的课堂,在之前的教案设计,教具准备也都是一起进行的。我的汇报课在明天,她的先于今天开始。但是很可惜,因为指导老师管老师临时的任务,我没能去观摩管佳静的汇报课。
结束后,管佳静很失落地告诉我,课堂不是很成功。整堂课总感觉不是那么顺利,她不太明白为什么?因为她的准备还是相当充分的,这点我也是感同身受。结果她的指导老师一语中的,原来是因为管佳静在课堂上太过严肃,面无表情,没能放开,所以不能调动孩子们的积极性。
管佳静开玩笑地和我说自己本身就是个感情匮乏的人。虽是句玩笑话,却让我从中看到了自己的影子。我也是个很内向、很容易羞涩的人。站在讲台上给学生们上课对我来说已经是一种挑战,要做到有声有色,更是难上加难。
但是众所周知,小学教育特别讲究艺术性,就像一个演员,说哭就哭,说笑就笑,而小学老师的语言表达和肢体动作之丰富也不是那么简单就能做好的。对于一直很羞涩的我来说是种挑战。可那是小学教师的必备素养,我想我会突破自己,学会教育的艺术性。
明天的汇报课,便是突破的第一步。希望我能做好。

篇11:以教育为话题的英语作文

+ 加入清单Aducation is not an end, but a means to an end. In other words, we do not educate children only for educating them. Our purpose is to fit them for life.
In some modern countries it has been fashionable to think that free education for all can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect nation. But we can already see that free education for all is not enough.We find in such countries a far larger number of people with university degrees refusing to do what they think is "low"work, and. in fact, working with ones hands is thought to be dirty and shameful in such countries.
But we have only to think a moment to understand that the work of a completely uneducated farmer is far more important than that of a professor~ we can live without education,but we die if we have no food. If no one cleaned our streets and took the rubbish away from our houses, we should get terrible diseases in our towns.
In fact, when we say that all of us must be educated to fit us for life, it means that we must be educated in such a way that, firstly, each of us can do whatever work is suited to his brains and ability and, secondly, that we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society, and that it is very bad to be ashamed of ones work. Only such a type of education can be considered valuable to society.

篇18:共享单车高一英语词
全文共 3362 字
+ 加入清单Now more and more bike sharing brands have emerged, such as ofo, Mobai,
Wukong bicycle, Xiaoming bicycle and so on, which are convenient for our travel.
As long as we download a software, we can pay some money to rent a car. However,
since I saw some phenomena, I have asked myself, "is bike sharing convenient or
harmful?"
Bike sharing is very popular recently. Ofo software or other sharing
software can be found in almost all mobile phones of "mobile phone family".
However, once my mother came home full of anger, scared me to speak. I shuddered
and asked, "Mom, what makes you so angry?" She put the bag in her hand on the
table and made a loud "pa -". "Your sister helped me install an ofo software in
my mobile phone. I wanted to make it easy to ride back with good medicine, but
today I rented a" broken car "!" I was puzzled: "ofo still has a broken car
"That is, otherwise, how could my feet be bruised?" She moved her foot to me,
and a black wheel mark was still visible. "When I was riding, the chain was
loose. If it wasnt for my fast braking speed, I would have fallen off!" Since
then, Ive been less fond of bike sharing.
Once I went to a make-up class, I saw two workers sitting on a Mobi
bicycle, shaking and laughing. Dad was very indignant and said: "this kind of
person really does not speak of public morality! Make fun of the public car I
know that they wont do this with their cars. My heart is like bleeding. Why,
they want to "bully" bike sharing.
Once I went out to play. The weather was very good and I was in a good
mood. I look up to the side, really do not see do not know, a look scared. A man
secretly removed the wheel of an ofo and replaced it with a bad one on his own.
After that, he rode off on the ofo wheel. Only the ofo little yellow car was
lying alone, and the wheels were not installed properly. It is like a injured
little girl, whose legs have been taken away, like vanca, can not endure the
sunshine of life. At that time, my tears began to drop. Is bike sharing "shared"
or "exclusive"?
There have been news reports that a boy under 12 years old riding a shared
bicycle was run over by a car and killed. At that time, the boys mother shared
the companys money to compensate for her sons death. Its clearly her sons fault.
He didnt ride a bike before he was 12 years old. I didnt say he deserved it. But
the fact is better than eloquence. The death of her son is not the
responsibility of the sharing company, but his own fault!
I once saw a young man riding ofo without scanning the code. A middle-aged
man pushed ofo into his home. Have you ever seen someone use Mobi without
decoding as fitness equipment? The sound of chain jingling is like a demon with
a chain in his hand crawling out of hell. Thats selfish!
Someone took an image that put the broken ofo and Moby together to fill a
small parking lot. After riding shared bicycles, people park them on the side of
the road at will. As long as a passer-by gently knocks down a car, it will fall
down like a domino.
Have you ever thought that sharing resources is closely related to each of
us, but all the harm they bring is due to selfishness. Bike sharing is just one
example. Ive seen shared bookstores where people leave books on their desks
after reading, so that they cant go home. "Convenience to others, convenience to
oneself." As long as we are convenient for others, we will also benefit
ourselves.

+ 加入清单Speaking of reading, many people are excited because reading brings them
both knowledge and entertainment. By reading, we can learn lots of information
and know our history. But for some people, reading is not their priority. They
will choose to watch movies to have fun. However, I think people can benefit a
lot by reading.
First of all, reading can let us know what have happened in history. Since
history is recorded in books, if we read books, then we can not only what have
happened in history but also we can better understand the great figures of the
age.
Secondly, reading can enrich our knowledge. By reading, we can know
different kinds of things, how things happen and how to avoid bad things from
happening. Books record a wide range of things about life. Through reading, we
can know various aspects of life.
Thirdly, reading teaches us skills. There are so many books about how to
learn a certain language, how to get a good job, how to become popular in your
circle, how to cook and so on. Thus, these kinds of books can make us more
skillful if we do a certain thing.
All in all, we can find lots of benefits through reading.

+ 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!
