关于罗马的英语作文【优秀20篇】

When memory began for me, my grandfather was past sixty-a great tall man

with thick hair becoming gray. He had black eyes and a straight nose which ended

in a slightly flattened tip. Once he explained seriously to me that he got that

flattened tip as a small child when he fell down and stepped on his nose.

The little marks of laughter at the corners of his eyes were the prodnct of

a kindly and humorous nature. The years of work which had bent his shoulders had

never dulled his humour nor his love of a joke.

Everywhere he went, "Gramp" made friends easily. At the end of half an hour

you felt you had known him all your life. I soon learned that he hated to give

orders , but that when he had to, he tried to make his orders sound like

suggestions.

One July morning, as he was leaving to go to the cornfield, he said :

"Edwin, you can pick up the potatoes in the field today if you want to do that.

" Then he drove away with his horses.

The day passed, and I did not have any desire to pick up potatoes. Evening

came and the potatoes were still in the field. Gramp, dusty and tired, led the

horses to get their drink.

"How many bags of potatoes were there?" Gramp inquired. "I dont know.

"

"How many potatoes did you pick up?"

"I didnt pick any. " "Not any! Why not?"

"You said I could pick, them up if I wanted to. You didnt say I had to.

"

In the next few minutes I learned a lesson I would not forget: when Gramp

said I could if I wanted to, he meant that I should want to.

Gram hated cruelty and injustice. The injustices of history, even those of

a thousand years before, angered her as much as the injustices of her own

day.

She also had a deep love of beauty. When she was almost seventy-five, and

had gone to live with one of her daughters, she spent a delightful morning

washing dishes because, as she said, the beautiful patterns on the dishes gave

her pleasure. The bird, the flowers, the clouds-all that was beautiful around

her- pleased her. She was like the father of the French painter, Millet, who

used to gather grass and show it to his son , saying , "See how beautif ul this

is ! "

In a pioneer society it is the harder qualities of mind and character that

are of value. The softer virtues are considered unnecessary. Men and women

struggling daily to earn a living are unable, even for a moment, to forget the

business of preserving their lives. Only unusual people, like my grandparents,

manage to keep the softer qualities in a world of daily struggle.

Such were the two people with whom I spent the months from June to

September in the wonderful days of summer and youth.

Early in senior high school, we longed to be enrolled in a university. Now

the dream has come true. But how do we college students like our campus

life?

Certainly, some relish it, finding it colorful and rewarding. Besides

study, they spend considerable amount of time improving themselves in various

aspect. Yet others do not think much of their college life, thus do not benefit

as much. In their eyes, the university is just a bigger high school. The only

difference is that they have more time at their disposal without parents looking

over their shoulder.

As to me, college life is ideal if only I have abundant books to read, some

bosom friends to keep me company, a couple of conscientious professors to

instruct me.

Those who live in cities around the world are likely going to have similar

experiences about living and the associated challenges regardless of their

location on the globe. Most of these challenges revolve around stress which

studies have shown is a part of living. Regardless of what you do and your

profession and place stress is not avoidable but could be minimized. Those who

see stress as an enemy will probably live an irritable life which is quite

unnecessary.

How then do we cope with stress? I am going to give you tips that have

helped and are still helping me in coping with life in the city of Lagos

Nigeria, the most populous African city, where orientation of people is quite

different in many ways about stress and living with others.

Eating patterns change over time. Ingredients cannot be seen before in a

country might begin to appear in local markets ， shipped from abroad. Migration

causes cultures to change， and eating patterns invariably reflect new

influences.

In the 20th century， few people have the time to go home for lunch， and

many city dwellers find themselves in need of grabbing a bite to eat in a place

close to their offices. As a result， the popularity of fast food and takeaway

food has risen . In many urban areas， people who traditionally ate their main

meal at midday now enjoy it in the evening， after work.

Changing eating patterns have an effect on other aspects of society. Meals

have traditionally been times when members of a family catch up with each other.

Fast food and quick meals sometimes threaten such family get-together.

When you ask the people around you, what is the most importantFestivalin

China, I guess 99% of the people will say the same answer, theSpringFestival.

There is an old story about Spring Festival. It is said that the monster, named

Nian, will attack people from time to time. In order to drive it away, people

have to light up firecrackers and put some Red paper on the front door and

window at the last day of the Chinese year. Luckily, the monster, Nian, is

afraid of the sound of the firecrackers and the color red; dare not to come any

more. In order to memorialize this day, our ancestors decided that the first

lunar calendar day of the Chinese Year is the Spring Festival.

During the Spring Festival, all the member of the family will get together

on the eve to have a big dinner. Fish, apple, noodle, dumplings, poke, chicken,

candies and so on are indispensable on the table. Fish stands for wealth and

rich of the coming year, apple stands for doing things smoothly, noodle stands

for good health and long live, as to the others, they all symbolize for the

lucky and happiness of the coming year.

Children are the happiest ones during the Spring Festival, not only they

can have lots of companies but also they can have lucky money on the festival.

With the lucky money, they can do whatever they want, such as to set off the

firecrackers, wear new clothes, use their lucky money to buy the things they

want; this is the best part of the Spring Festival, isn’t it?

The Spring Festival is not only means the beginning of the brand-new year,

but also carrying the best wish of the people’s. We are hoping in the New Year

our wish will come true, our life will become better. Anyway, the most

meaningful thing of the Spring Festival is that we spend the time with the

family, the people we love and we know that’s all about.

As is known to all， food is a priority for the mon people.Recently，

however， reports about food problems have often been seen in the newspapers，

showing that people have always been concerned about what they eat every day.

The reason for this problem is that some of the food producers are too fond of

making money， leading to the result that they use whatever will make the food

look good or taste better without considering the bad consequences。 This is not

normal because people just cannot live without eating anything.

So we should take all the measures necessary to forbid the food producers

to make food that is not safe enough. Laws should be strengthened and the

government should have more control over these producers。 Only when people are

no longer worried about whether their food is safe or not can they enjoy a

better life.

Traditional Chinese culture is beginning to capture the attention of the

world. This is true even as popular culture that has traditionally been

considered Western begins to spread throughout China. Kung Fu, especially, has

had a great impact on the millions of people who first learned about China

through it. From that, they may come to China and learn about other aspects of

this culture, such as traditional operas like the Beijing and Sichuan ones.

Asian nations have long known about the greatness of ancient Chinese culture.

Their own cultures are a mix of native ones and those Chinese characteristics.

Korea and Japan long ago adopted ideas such as Confucianism is something that

continues today even as it is challenged by Pop Culture. This strength comes

from the ideas given in the Four Books of Confucianism (The Great Learning, The

Doctrine of the Mean, The Analects of Confucius, and The Book of Mencius). These

books built upon the ideas of an even more ancient period codified in the Five

Classics. From them, the West learns such things as Fengshui and other concepts

that are uniquely Chinese. China has taken steps to further this spread of its

culture by establishing Chinese Cultural Centers in such places as the United

States and Europe.

In current society,thanks to the deepening reform and opening-up,there is

so much unemployment, the competition for jobs is very fierce.In an effort to

land a decent job ,a host of school-leavers choose to attend the graduate

school‘s test.They want to learn more knowledge before acquiring a fine job.They

also can be confident in taking interviews.Consequently,attending the graduate

school‘s test is pevalent increasingly in late several years.

Among other folks intend to secure a job after graduating.Although the

competition for jobs is very fierce,it is also very difficult to find out a fine

job for colleage students.After a couple of years,the number of the graduate

students is sharply up-swing.It is same to face job problems for graduate

students.Secuing a job after graduating can accumulate experience in order to

get on well in the future.

In my eyes,the Middle kingdom enjoys a booming economy, a rising number of

companys from overseas come to built themselves factories.We are facing

opportunities and challenges.We might well choose to land a job after

graduating.Plus,we are still young,we can choose to attend the graduate school‘s

test after accumulating working experience.It will be wise for us to do

that.

Today, the young generation likes to stay up, because after a day’s working, they will find fun at night, so they are getting home very late and then wake up late, too. As they are wake up so late, they will ignore their breakfast and wait for the lunch, today people will call the meal brunch, it means to eat things between breakfast and lunch time. The fact is that not eating breakfast is bad for our health, our body hasn’t take in things all the night, we need to take in some nutrition in the morning time, so the body can have the energy to work. Thinking about this, how a machine can work well without electricity, and the breakfast is the electricity. As breakfast is so important, we must have it on time, so our body can work well and keep healthy.

Last week, I saw a very impressive documentary about panda. A professor

studied panda in the early 1980s went to the wild life and kept trace of wild

giant panda for many years. As a result, he found that it was human being that

made these lovely animals die out. At that time, many people believed that giant

panda became less because of the low rate of newborn babies. But it was not

true. People cut trees for making profit at that time. Panda lose homeland and

they lacked of food. Thanks to these valuable data, the government took the

policy to protect the animals. So today, the number of giant panda is

increasing. People realize the importance of protecting the environment and it

is the best way to protect wild animals, they are the indispensable part of the

nature.

Dear manager,

I write this letter to you to make some complaints about the computer I

bought in your store yesterday afternoon. There s something wrong with it. That

makes me extremely unhappy.

The computer cannot be properly shut down when I got it back to the office.

When I click the shutdown button, it seems that the machine gives no response.

And Im so annoyed with it.

Its obvious that you didn t carefully examine the machine before you sold

it. I think your store should take full responsibility for selling me the

defective machine. I insist that you give me a satisfactory reply. I do want you

to give back my money as soon as possible.

Sincerely yours,

Jack

Dear mother:

Hello

Dear mother, you have given me life, and my body has run through your

blood. It is your milk, heart, blood, tears and sweat that have become the

greatest liquid of human life and have nurtured me. It is you who feed me from a

hungry child to a primary school student.

Dear mother, there are many kinds of love in the world, but maternal love

is the most selfless, sincere, broadest and most merciful. When praising the

affection of human beings, you are the eternal theme. When you sing the sincere

love of the world, your love is called the first love in the world. Selfless is

your character, dedication is your feelings. You are the embodiment of goodness.

You are a symbol of greatness. Everything beautiful in women is condensed in

your image.

My dear mother, though the hardships of life have made your hands rough,

however, these hands are still so gentle, it always soothes my heart and gives

me infinite comfort; although the heavy work makes your head white hair, but the

body is still like the wing, caring for me all the time. The hard work of hard

work makes your face wrinkle. However, the face is still so kind. It teaches me

the true meaning of life and gives me confidence and strength at all times.

My dear mother, you are the resting place for your daughter. You are the

harbor for your daughter to escape from the wind. With you, our home will be

peaceful and warm. With you, our family will be happy and happy.

Dear mother, your great love is the greatest and selfless, your love in the

heart of the daughter turned from the bottom of the heart from the bottom of the

heart out - only the mother is good, the mother of the child like a treasure,

into the mothers embrace can not enjoy happiness.

As a student, I expect the winter holiday very much, because I don’t have

to go to school every day. So I can sleep and get up late. But this winter

holiday, I am not very happy. I didn’t do well in the final exam. It makes my

parents disappointed. I feel sorry to them. Besides, I got ill the whole winter

holiday. I caught a cold at first and then had a fever. I had to see a doctor

every day. My parents worried much about me. Because of the illness, I didn’t

have a good time during the New Year. Now, I am a little better. I hope I could

be well soon, because the new term is beginning. I don’t want to go to school

with illness.

Nowadays, more and more people prefer to travel quite often. Bytraveling,

we not only can relax ourselves but also broaden our knowledge circles. From my

aspect, I think we can make many friends and travel with them.

Firstly, we can enjoy the beautiful scenery and relax ourselves. For modern

life, we are busy with our work with high pressure. However, when we travel, we

will be attracted by great landscape and forget pressure from both work and

life.

Secondly, we can make friends by traveling. For most travelers, they tend

to find many companions to travel with. If you check the internet, you will find

that some people will call others to join them for travel. Through this kind of

travel, we can meet many different people and make friends with them to broaden

our social circle.

Thirdly, we can learn much knowledge form travel. Before you go to

somewhere to travel, generally, you need to make plans for your travel. You can

find lots of things you don’t know when you make a plan, such as, the origin of

a certain area, the customs of different areas, local food and so on.

In conclusion, we can not only relax ourselves and make new friends but at

the same time we can learn much from travel.

Nowadays, there is a increasing number for people to join in the activities

of volunteering. It’s well-known that volunteering job is making contribution to

the society with nothing in return. It’s like the Leifeng spirit. However,

knowing this, there are still many people would like to devote themseves in this

trend. For instance, the 20__ Beijing Olympic Games has so many volunteers. They

made lots of contribution to the success of opening the Olympics. Moreover, we

Yesterday afternoon, when I was sitting in the classroom and listening to

the teacher. Suddenly, the screen seemed moving and it started to shake. My

teacher stopped his class and then he asked us to calm down. He let the students

who were close to the door left first, and then the rest of us ran out of the

classroom one by one. After a while, everything seemed to be normal, the teacher

asked us to go back to the classroom. Later I learned that there indeed came the

earthquake. I admired our teacher so much, in the important moment, he did not

run away, but considered us in the first place. He is a good teacher.

We often say that the earth is our homeland and human society comes from

nature. Therefore, I think our society is a part of nature. People should live

harmoniously with nature. All the materials we need to live with come from

nature, but we should also repay the nature, rather than blindly solicit. For

example, we should plant more trees and take actions to protect the environment.

In addition, we have to control population. Due to excessive population growth,

human beings require much more natural resources than before, which lead to

excessive pressure on nature. In order to long-term development, the population

growth must be controlled. We all come from nature which is our homeland, so we

must try best to protect it.
