节约水资源保护水生态

全文共 724 字

+ 加入清单

人们都知道,是生命之源,没有水,也就没有生命的存在。所以我们要保护水资源,要合理运用水资源,不能浪费水资源,要珍惜生命之源。可现在,地球上的水资源浪费以及水环境的破坏已经成为了一个大问题。

首先,我国的水污染严重。据有关部门统计,全国年排放污水总量近600亿吨,其中大部分未经处理直接排入水域。在全国调查评价的700多条重要河流中,有近50%的河段、90%以上的城市沿河水域遭到污染。水污染不仅破坏了生态环境,而且使水资源短缺问题更为严重。就拿我们家乡来说,虽然是水乡,到处可见河流,可是,这河水已经不能饮用了,人们只能用从遥远的地方运来的自来水,这是多么令人痛心的事啊!其次,水资源的浪费也相当的严重,大的不说,就说学校的厕所,水资源的浪费也是相当的严重,许多的水箱以及水龙头一天到晚不停地流,据说一个月的水费要近万元,一年要流掉多少水呀!

为了我们人类能够永久的生存下去大家一起来保护水生态,节约水资源吧!

在水生态保护方面,国家应该加强监管,消除污染源。不要在江河里高密度养殖鱼虾等。人们平时不要把污水和垃圾导入河中。如此,江河湖泊就不会被污染。如果没有水的污染,水资源就不会有很大的短缺了。

节约水资源方面,首先,我建议学校的厕所要改造,改成节水型的。一所学校一年可以节省成千上万吨水。

其次家庭每天用水量最大的就是马桶了,多按一次就是多用掉大约6~9升水,所以,我们一般不要轻易按,先把攒下的用来冲厕所的水用掉。

洗脸水用后可以洗脚,然后冲厕所;家中应预备一个收集废水的大桶,将洗衣等生活废水收集起来,用作冲厕、拖地等,如此,一个三口之家每月可节水1吨左右。

节约用水从我做起,节约用水从现在开始!珍惜生命之源,保护水资源,让泱泱大河流淌在我家门前!

In this age of rapid depletion of natural resources, it is of paramount importance to create a conservation-oriented campus. The creation of such an ecologically-friendly campus would significantly contribute to China s overall efforts to become a leading low-carbon nation in the world.

The most compelling reason for such an endeavor is to change a deep-entrenched misconception prevalent among college students. Most universities provide water and electricity for free, misleading students into believing that such resources are limitless and inexhaustible. We should realize that, currently, many parts of our country are suffering from unprecedented drought and power scarcity. We should show due concern for the welfare of people in those places by refusing to be selfish in satisfying our own needs. As responsible citizens of our society, we have the responsibility to recycle whatever we can lay hands on. The small efforts by a single individual may make a huge difference.

To be a well-educated college student is to be conservation conscious. College graduates are the future of our country and by enhancing their conservation awareness they would definitely play a leading role in protecting our environment in the future and in making our world a better place to live.

昨天,我跟哥哥去玩,看见一位叔叔正拿着大毛笔,挥洒自如地在水池旁写了请节约用水五个大字,随后,那位叔叔将水龙头开到最大开始洗笔。

洗着洗着,水就淹没了池子,像发大水一样,向四面八方流去,叔叔还是视而不见,仍然我行我素.他为了不让水溅到自己的身上,躲得远远的。

水在哗哗地流着,仿佛在悲哀地说:唉,有些人真的不知道我们的可贵之处,也不知道我们的贡献有多大,如果植物没有了水,它们就会渴死,要知道我国的淡水资源日益紧张。唉,我听到后叹了一口气,想:那位叔叔自己写下了几个大字请节约用水,可他自己却在浪费水资源,他说的和做的一点都不一致啊!于是我走过去,客气地对叔叔说:叔叔,水是生命之源,你不节约用水,等到水枯竭的那天,后悔就来不及了,植物会全渴死,人类就会不复存在,水对人类是何其珍贵!

叔叔听了我的话,先愣了一下,吃惊地看看我,脸红到了耳朵根,说:了不起,你真是我的老师。然后他连忙地关上了水龙头。

我经历了这样的事,决定从自身做起,爱惜水资源:

1、可以把洗过菜的水用来浇花、浇菜。

2、及进关紧未关好的水龙头。

3、把家中抽水马桶的水量调校

4.水是用不完的,但我们有珍惜哦!

如果每人都能节约一点水,地球妈妈会笑得更灿烂,万物会更加生机勃勃。

篇16:我爱学英语初三作文1000字

全文共 1199 字

+ 加入清单

英语,是全世界通用的语言,只要你会说英语,不管走到哪里,就都不用担心受怕了。

我喜欢英语这门学科。最早接触英语的时候是小学三年级,当时学校对这门新开设的功课虽然比较重视,但没有安排单元检测,所以大家上英语课都比较散漫,整个课堂都闹哄哄的,而且我们的老师水平似乎也不高。那个时候,我对英语并不感兴趣。

直到五年级,我们换了一个英语老师,这个新老师长得很漂亮,英语说得很好,我很喜欢她。刚开始,我是因为她的美貌,想让她注意我,才在课堂上认真听讲的。后来,我学进去之后,才发现英语很有意思,也很“好学”,因此,我对英语产生来浓厚的兴趣。

有一回,我在超市买东西,偶然地看到了一个外国人,因为在那之前我从未看到过外国人,所以对她很好奇。金黄色的长发,棕色的眼睛,高挺的鼻子,简直是深深地迷住了我。我那时就一直看着她,当然,我知道这样是很不礼貌的,可是我就是对她充满了好奇心。我很想走过去和她说几句话,可是我又不敢。后来,她好像注意到了我,对我笑了一笑。她这一笑简直是让我欣喜若狂,在那一刻,我就下定决心一定要学好英语,一定要能和外国人流利地交谈。

从此我就经常去找英语老师,向老师了解一些关于外国和英语有关的事。

现在初中了,我还是对英语有浓厚的兴趣。黄老师很亲切,每次看到她,就像是看到老熟人一样。我很喜欢上她的课,有时我都巴不得一整天都上英语课。英语课很轻松,几乎都是洋溢着笑声的。黄老师还能说一口流利的英文,可以完全听懂老外的话,也可以流利地和老外交流,这一点,我特别羡慕黄老师。她是我的偶像,是我的榜样,我要像她看齐(虽然她是我的老师)。

班上很多人觉得我上英语课和外教可很激动,确实,我承认,但这也是我喜欢英语的一种方式。我对英语有一种莫名的喜欢,看到老外,我就像是吃了兴奋一样,就算原本不高兴也会变得很高兴。

上外教课时,我会很认真地听讲,虽然有很多听不懂,老外抽问时,我也都会积极地举手发言,哪怕是回答不了。我也不会觉得丢脸,因为我站起来回答问题,也是给自己的一次锻炼机会,同时也和老外多接触了一次,所以,哪怕是回答不了问题,我也是很开心的。

这个暑假我去看了上海的世博会,我在世博园里大开了眼界,里面有好多的外国人。每看到外国人我都会主动上去邀请他们和我一起拍照。刚开始和老外交流时,我有些害怕,怕自己说不好英语,但是那些热情的外国人个给予了我勇气,让我敢于大声发出邀请,“Can you teke photos with me?”(你能和我一起拍照吗?)当然,在和外国人交涉的时候我也碰过壁,那是在地铁站里,我看到一个外国人,我很开心地看来他一眼,可他却皱着眉头,用不标准的普通话说“不要看我。”这句话让当时的我很是尴尬,因为我从未碰到过这种状况,这次的事,让我注意起对待老外的应有礼节,但这并不影响我对英语的热爱。

从小学到现在,我对英语的热爱是越来越深。

在这里,我想说:“I love English”

For the young people, it is very important to have ambition, they need the motivation to move on. But most of them are just talking about the ambition and never take the action. The action is as important as the ambition. On the one hand, ambition sets up the goal for a person to fight. Without ambition, no one can be successful, ambition is just like the light in the dark, it leads people to see the bright future.

On the other hand, action helps people to realize their dreams. Sometimes, action even is more important than the ambition. Everyone has the ambition, but the action makes them different. The one who just keeps thinking and not to take action will never be successful. As the saying that no pain, no gain, it reminds people to take action. So we need to have both ambition and action.

对于年轻人来说,有雄心壮志是很重要的,他们需要动力来前进。但是他们大部分人只是嘴上说说,从来不行动。行动和决心一样重要。一方面,决心为人定下目标去奋斗。没有决心,没有人能够成功,决心就如黑暗中的灯光,引导着人们来看光明的未来。

另一方面,行动帮助人们实现他们的梦想。有时候,行动比决心更加重要。每个人都有决心,但是行动才会有所作为。谁只是想想而不采取行动的话,是不会成功的。正如有句话说没有付出,就没有收获,这告诉人们要采取行动。因此我们既需要决心,也需要行动。

篇20:2024年初三英语写作技巧精选

全文共 4587 字

+ 加入清单

导语:英语写作能力作为体现语言交际能力至关重要的一个方面,写作测试是对学生书面交际水平及能力进行检验最有效的途径。以下是yjbs作文网小编为您收集整理的写作技巧,希望对您有所帮助。

要想获得高分就应在“正确”表达的基础上写出自己的特色,写出自己的“亮”点。

一、词汇选择——标新立异

在写作中“较高级词汇”的使用主要是指使用《大纲》上没有的词语、使用通过构词法变化来的新词、使用同(近)义词或反义词等来代替常见词语。

1)这栋房子在芳草街的一栋楼上。

A: The flat is in a building on Fangcao Street.

B: The flat situates in a building on Fangcao Street.

分析:is in是常见词语,而situates in则是《大纲》上没有的,属于高级词汇。

2)在周末我们做很多作业。

A: At weekends, we have a lot of homework to do.

B: At weekends, we have endless homework to do.

分析:B句在表达时没有使用过于直接的a lot of,而是使用了endless。endless就是由《大纲》词汇end加后缀-less变化来的。

3)洗澡间和厨房都很好。

A: The bathroom and the kitchen are good.

B. The bathroom and the kitchen are well-furnished.

在表达要点时,B句使用了well furnished,这比good语气强,也显得生动。

在造句时,“较高级词汇”如能运用贴切自然,哪怕整篇文章只用上一个,也会使你的作文显示出与众不同。

二、结构造句——与众不同

在造句时,既要使句子生动,又要使其简明扼要。

1、使用与人不同的表达方式,特别是提倡打破汉语句子结构的束缚而重组的句子更受欢迎。

1)唐山曾在二十世纪八十年代发生过一次大地震。

A: There was a strong earthquake in Tangshan in the 1980s.

B: A terrible earthquake hit/struck Tangshan in the 1980s.

大多数同学使用了there be结构,这是对的,但是B句却摒弃了常见句式。另辟蹊径而使用了“主语+谓语+宾语”结构,且使用了terrible,hit/strike这样的词汇,更是难能可贵的。

2)你八月十五日的来信我今天早晨收到了。

A:I received your letter which was written on August 15th this morning.(多数人使用的方式)

B: Your letter of August 15th reached/ got to me this morning.(与多数人使用的方式不同,简洁)

2.使用一些强势句式,如强调句、感叹句、倒装句等,增强语句的表现力。如:

3)阿福救了我妹妹。

A: Ah Fu saved my sister.(一般句式)

B: It was Ah Fu that saved my sister.(强调句式)

4)我们看到庄稼和蔬菜长势喜人很是高兴。

A: We were glad to see crops and vegetables growing well.(一般陈述句)

B: How glad we were to see crops and vegetables growing well.(感叹句)

3、句式多样,复杂得体。在写作中应避免使用相同长度的相同句型,而应注意句式的变化,如长短句结合,简单句、并列句与复合句共用,还可使用简化句等;一些较复杂的结构如独立主格,分词结构等也可使用。下面的表达中A句简单句多,而且多处使用there be结构,显得单调、乏味,而B句就有自己的特色(请同学们自己分析)。

5)这是一套25平方米的住房,住房里面有卧室、有洗澡间、有厨房;卧室里有床、沙发、桌子和椅子等。

A: Its a flat of 25 square metres. There is a bedroom in the flat. There is a bathroom and a kitchen in it, too. In the bedroom, there is a bed; there is a sofa, a desk and a chair as well.

B: Its a flat of 25 square metres, with a bedroom, a bathroom and a kitchen. In the bedroom there is a bed, a sofa, a desk and a chair.

三、布局谋篇——独具匠心

在写作中,我们可按时间、空间或其它逻辑顺序来安排各要点,同时为使主题突出,结构严谨,我们应注意学习和使用交代句以及段落的主题句等。在布局谋篇上,NMET2002范文堪称典范。请看:

Opinions are divided on the question.

60% of the students are against the idea of entrance fees. They believe a public park should be free of charge. People need a place where they can rest and enjoy themselves. Charging entrance fees will no doubt keep some people away. What is more, it will become necessary to build gates and walls, which will do harm to the appearance of a city.

On the other hand, 40% think that fees should be charged because you need money to pay gardens and other workers, and to buy plants and young trees. They suggested, however, fees should be charged low.

1)该文使用Opinions are divided...作交代句,开门见山,随后两个段落均使用了主题句(见黑体字部分),使全文结构紧凑,表达严谨。

2)在表述要点时范文还对要点出场顺序作了调整,如“40%的同学认为应收门票,但不宜过高。”前部分作为主题句放在句首,而后部分另起一句放在句末:They suggested, however, fees should be charged low.这样就分清了轻重缓急,主题突出,条理清楚。

3)范文使用了and, what is more, however等连词,在段落之间使用了on the other hand(说明前后两个观点是相悖的),这些连接手段的运用加强了句子之间、段落之间的联系,使文章表达连贯,浑然一体。

4)范文在第二段为说明不收门票的“原因”时增加了Charging entrance fees will no doubt keep some people away.等细节,这也是解决句与句之间缺少连贯性的常见方法。

写作技巧:

一、要善于模仿

对大多数学习英语的同学来说,英语的词汇量、句式的积累还极其有限,远不能达到用英文流畅表达,挥洒自如的境地。在这一阶段进行创作是不合时宜的,如果非要创造,只能写出“long time no see”这样的文字来。因此,模仿是这一阶段的必经途径。

谈到模仿,一些同学的办法就是背一堆范文,然后再到考场上进行一个“剪切”、“粘贴”的工作,效果可想而知。这不是真正意义上的模仿,充其量算是默写课文。如何模仿呢?

首先,模仿的目标要明确。模仿的重点永远要放在一定的句式结构上,而非个别的词汇。道理很简单:一个词,随着文章内容的变换,可能就不能用了;而句式结构是放置四海而皆准的东西,适用的范围广,学来对写作的帮助也就明显。

其次,模仿的材料要地道。像新概念英语这样的教材就提供了很多原汁原味的英语表达法。盲目选择文章学习,记一些不中不洋的句子,以讹传讹,浪费时间。

最后,模仿要体现在实际动笔上。比如说,新概念第三册有一个句式说:“…for the simple reason that…”表示某种现象的原因是什么,用在大学英语考试中,我们就可以拿来解释为什么自行车在中国如此的流行,表达为:“the bicycle is very popular in china for the simple reason that…”。然而,很多同学经常背了这些句式不用,一谈到原因仍然是“…because…”,等等。

二、要灵活变通

在批改英语作文的过程中,经常能发现一些将中文生硬地翻译成英文的表达法。由于中英文之间的差异和词汇量、表达法积累的不足,出现难于表达的情况是十分正常的。关键问题在于如何处理。有一句话叫做“立志如山,行道如水”,套用在这个问题上就很合适。写英文作文,一定要有决心把它写好,有信心把意思表达清楚,这是“立志如山”;但关键是遇到问题时要有个灵活的态度,能像流水一样变通解决问题。

有个翻译界的故事说:在某大型国际会议的招待会上,一道菜是用鸡蛋做的。与会的客人问翻译:“what is it made of?”本来是非常简单的一个问题,结果翻译太紧张,忘了“egg”这个词,但是他急中生智,回答:“it is made of miss hen’s son.”这里,就是一个灵活变通的范例。绕道表达,是写作中应该常常运用的一种方法。

三、要细心观察

要写好英语作文,还要带着敏锐的目光细心地观察,注意英语中一些表达上的习惯。

比如说,在正式文体的写作中,很少用 “it isn"t”这样的略缩形式,而往往是一板一眼地写作 “it is not”。同理,在正式文体中的日期一般不缩写,阿拉伯数字一般会用英文表达(特别长的数字除外)。

再比如说,翻翻新概念第三册所有的课文,会发现凡是一段文章的段首句出现转折时,转折词however都放在句子结构中的第二部分,以插入语的形式出现。分析原因,是因为段落一开始就用转折词,会时转折显得较生硬、突兀。

最后,许多同学在写作文时,习惯于把 “since” “because” “for”这样的词放在句首引导原因状语从句。事实上,在我们见到的英语报刊杂志文章中,这样的从句一般都是放在主句之后的。另外, “and”也常常被误放在一句话的开头,表示两个句子之间的并列或递进关系。其实,经常留心地道的英语文章能发现,如果是并列关系,完全可以不用连词;如果是递进关系,用 “furthermore” “what is more”更为普遍。
