+ 加入清单People always believe that when there is pressure, there is motivation, it
seems that pressure equals motivation. We need pressure, it makes us keep move
on, with pressure, we know what to do and how to fulfill our targets. Without
pressure, we are just like a child, never grow up, having no idea of
responsibility. It is pressure that makes us become mature, we should have
pressure, it indeed equals motivation at the certain level. While having too
much pressure is bad for our mind, it is just like a burden that presses our
mind, making people hard to take a breath. Nowadays the case of people commit
suicide is increasing, the reason is that people can’t take a breath from much
pressure, they feel there is no hope in life, no matter what they do, life just
frustrates them. We should have the right attitude towards pressure.

篇1:网上购物英语
全文共 987 字
+ 加入清单With the development of the e-commerce, more and more people intent to do
the shopping online. There are many advantages of online shopping, yet there are
some disadvantages too.
On the one hand, the online shopping are very convenient. Unlike the
physical stores, there is no limit of time for you to do the shopping online.
And you can find anything in the online store, some of which you may hardly buy
at the local. And also, the price is relatively transparent, you can choose the
affordable one to buy.
On the other hand, since the goods are only presented by the pictures and
descriptions, it is hard to tell its reality, so you might have bought something
you don’t like, or even the fake one. Of course you can ask for the after
service, but it will increase your cost of the time. And the advertisements on
the online shops may make you spend much more money on online shopping without
being conscious.
Anyway, the online shopping makes the shopping easier, but please do it
with rationality.
篇2:有关交通英语作文初中

+ 加入清单As is known to all, China is popular for its emperor of bicycles. This is
because our country is still a developing country and few people can afford
private cars. The demand for a means of transport is met by making millions of
bicycles available. Riding a bicycle has a lot of advantages over driving a car.
First, it is a physical exercise to ride a bicycle. In contrast, sitting in the
car, one tends to gain weight. Besides, it is nmch more economical to ride a
bike than drive a car. On the one hand,the only fee a bike-rider has to pay is
the annual tax. However, the annual fees for a car are costly. On the other
hand, a bike neednt be equipped with a parking lot, but a car must. Most
important of all, it is beneficial to the environment to ride a bicycle because
the bike doesnt consume petrol; it is a pollution-free transport. In contrast,
the exhaust released by the car is harmful to the environment. Since China is a
developing country with a large population, bicycles will still be the most
popular means of transport in China for quite a long time. Most people will
still ride bicycles to go to work or to school. The emperor country of bicycles
will remain for at least dozens of years.

+ 加入清单There is no doubt that traffic congestion becomes a growing worry for the
residents of most urban areas. Some major roads are regularly choked with
traffic in rush hours. The limited transport capacity contributes largely to the
vexing problem. How to solve the headache?
The existing solutions to traffic jam mainly aim at creating metro bus
systems and broadening major roads. Widening the existing roads can solve
traffic snarls on some level. Soaring car ownership compounds the chronic
annoying problem, so we must sharply reduce the heavy reliance on cars and drive
a shift to the mass transportation. It is a cheap and good way. We can create a
system of customized bus routes and highlight the development of subways,
trolleys and light rail. The effective combination of these solutions will
enable the urban areas to possess a smooth traffic.

+ 加入清单Stress is a state of being upset that happens when we are under pressure.
Both our feelings and our bodies get upset.
We can even get emotionally and physically sick if we have too much stress
for too long. Stress can come at us from every direction. For instance, it can
come from fights with other people. It can come when we have too many things to
do and too little time to do them. It can also come when we do not have enough
money to pay for what we want. Since stress can make us sick, we have to learn
how to deal with it. There are good ways and bad ways to do so. We should deal
with stress in good ways, of course. Good ways to cut down on stress include
changing our lifestyles. For example, we can learn either to get along with
people or to stay away from them. We can decide what to do now, what to do
later, and what to leave off doing forever.
We can also figure out how to get money or we can cut down on what we want.
We should not deal with stress in bad ways because bad ways to cut down on
stress just lead to more troubles, for example, skipping out and leaving our
work undone, blaming our problems on someone else, stealing or cheating.

+ 加入清单Saving Water
The world is not only hungry,but also thirsty for water. This may seem strange to you, since nearly 75 % of the earths surface is covered with water. But about 97% of this huge amount is sea water, or salt water. Man can only drink and use the other 3% -- the fresh water that comes from rivers, lakes,underground, and other sources. And we cannot even use all of that, because some of it is in the form of icebergs and glaciers. Even worse, some of it has been polluted.
However, as things stand today, this small amount of fresh water, which is constantly being replaced by rainfall, is still enough for us. But our need for water is increasing rapidly-- almost day by day. Only if we take steps to deal with this problem now can we avoid a severe worldwide water shortage later on. A limited water supply would have a bad effect on agriculture and industry. Let me give you just one small exampie of how necessary water is to industry. Did you know that to produce a single ton of steel, it takes about 91, 000 liters of water?
We all have to learn how to stop wasting our precious water. One of the first steps we should take is to develop ways of reusing it. Experiments have already been done in this field, but only on a small scale. For us, the systems are as important as the spacecraft.
节约用水
我们的世界不仅饥饿,而且因为缺水而干渴。对你来说这可能似乎奇怪:因为我们的地球表面75%由水覆盖着。但是,这巨大的数量中97%是海水、或咸水。只有剩下3%
的来自河流、湖泊、地下,和其他来源的淡水供人们饮用、使用。即使如此,这3%的水源我们也不能够完全使用,因为有些淡水是以冰山或冰河的形式存在。更糟糕的是,一些水源已遭受了污染。
然而,尽管按现状看来,这些少量的淡水即使时常转化成雨水的形式,对我们来说,也仍然够用。可是我们对水的需求却日益迅速增长。我们只有现在采取措施解决这一问
题才能避免未来世界范围内的严重水资源缺乏。限量供水会对农业和工业产生不良的影响。我们举个小小的事例就能证明水对工业的必要性。每生产一吨钢材就要消耗91,000升水,你知道吗?
我们必须杜绝对宝贵水资源的浪费。我们应该采取的第一步就是要发展水再利用的方法。该领域的实验已在进行,但是仅是小规模地进行。水资源再利用系统的重要性
对我们而言,与空间站不相上下。

+ 加入清单Nowadays, the problem of college students employment becoming more and
more serious. About a decade ago, university students could find satisfactory
and enviable jobs after graduation, while at current situation, about 30% of
graduate students can’t find a job but stay at home after graduation.
Employment difficulty of college students is due to the following reasons.
Among these, the increasing recruitment of colleges and universities plays a
vital role. In addition, many colleges and universities fail to adapt their
courses to the development of economy.
Considering such a rough job market, I think it is high time that we took
effective measures to solve the problem. Above all, college students should
realize their own defects and further improve themselves to keep their
competitive edge in society.
Moreover, colleges or universities should provide more trainings and
internship opportunities before the students enter the society. Besides, college
students should hold a right attitude towards jobs and set their job
expectations at a suitable level.
Only through these ways can the college students find a satisfactory job
and have a brighter future.

篇10:中秋节的英语高中
全文共 2221 字
+ 加入清单I think Mid-Autumn Day is an old traditional festival in China。 Everybody likes it because its a family get-together。 You see it is called"Mid-Autumn Day", so it often es in September or October。 It is on the 15th of the 8th of the lunar month。 Now, lets say something about this interesting festival。
Firstly, Id like to say something about the moon。 I like it very much because I want to be an astronaut in the future。 That day the moon is round, big, just like a beautiful plate hanging on the blue cloth。 When I see the moon, I will remember the ancient myths——the godess Chang Er and her little rabbit are playing under the tree which Wu Gang grows。 I will also think about Armstrongs first moonwalk。 I will also miss the friends in Tai-wan island, in Macao and Chinese people who are abroad。 I know they are missing us very much, too。
Secondly, I11 say something about the tradition on Mid-Autumn Day。 Look!Theres a big tree in a garden of a Chinese fami-ly。 All the family members are sitting around a big table under the tree in the open air。 They are eating the mooncakes and admiring the full moon in the sky。 That is a family reunion dinner。 The mooncakes and the moon represent the love from a family。 I think this is one of the most valuable things in the world。
Thirdly,it is a very good opportunity to make three wishes on Mid-Autumn Day。 My wishes are: the first, I, an astronaut in the future, would like to go to the moon one day, and stay with the sky and stars; the second, I hope every person in the world will stay with family, share love from the family forever; the third, I hope everybodys dream will e true。
That is the Mid-Autumn Day in my mind。 I will always re-member: East or West, home is best。
我认为中秋节是中国古老的传统节日。每个人都喜欢它,因为它是一个家庭聚会。你看它被称为“中秋节”,所以通常在九月或十月。这是在农历八月十五日。现在,让我们谈谈这个有趣的节日。
首先,我想谈谈月亮问题。我非常喜欢它,因为我希望将来成为一名宇航员。那天月亮是圆的,大的,就像一块美丽的盘子挂在蓝色的布上。我看到月亮,我会记得古老的神话 - 长女和她的小兔子正在吴刚生长的树下玩耍。我也会想到阿姆斯特朗的第一次月球漫步。我也会想念台湾的朋友们岛上,澳门和国外的中国人。我知道他们也非常想念我们。
其次,我要谈谈中秋节的传统。看!中国家庭的花园里有一棵大树。所有的家庭成员都坐在树下的一张大桌子旁边露天。他们正在吃月饼,欣赏天空中的满月。这是一个家庭聚会晚餐。月饼和月亮代表了一个家庭的爱。我认为这是世界上最有价值的东西之一。
第三,这是一个非常好的机会,在中秋节做出三个愿望。我的愿望是:第一,我,未来的宇航员,有一天想去月球,和天空和星星呆在一起; 第二,我希望世界上每个人都能和家人在一起,永远地与家人分享爱意; 第三,我希望每个人的梦想都是真的。
那是我心中的中秋节。我将永远重新成员:东方或西方,家是最好的。

the saying goes, bread is the staff of life, eating healthily and deliciously is
the goal we pursue. From my point of view, in order to build healthy eating

more water is of great help.

篇13:有关污染英语作文高中

+ 加入清单In my hometown, the air is polluted seriously. However, in recent years,
the pollution gets from bad to worse, because of the increasing number of
private cars. Especially during the rush hours, too many private vehicles move
slowly on narrow roads, emitting a large amount of waste gas. Moreover, the
poisonous gas sent by the nearby factories is also one of the main causes of
pollution. Therefore, it’s demanded that immediate and effective measures must
be taken to restrict private cars and public transportation must be developed to
the largest extent. Besides, we should use renewable and clean energy
recourses.
篇14:关于朋友英语作文高中
全文共 3213 字
+ 加入清单There is an old Chinese saying: Top students come from strict teachers.
Perhaps affected by this saying for a long time, we believe it right. However,
as time flies, lots of things have changed. Therefore, I am eager to discuss
what relation is the best between teachers and students.A teacher can treat a
student in two ways .One is strict, and the other is friendly. Most teachers
prefer the first way.To start with, we certainly have to admit that strictness
is very effective, especially to the naughty pupils.
As pupils we aren’t able to control ourselves well or fix our attention on
one thing for a long time. We do most things because they are interesting or we
feel like doing. We are always looking out of the window in class. Sometimes, we
get to play games and forget our homework. On this occasion, strictness is a
must. It not only forces us to do the right thing, but also helps us develop a
good learning habit, which is of great importance during our whole life .In
other words, it is the first step to success.Still, everything has two sides.
Its weak points are very obvious. You see, there’re top students in a class,
where average students make up the majority. Then teachers’ orders or
suggestions are for the majority, not for top students. However, top students
always have their own study plans and prefer special homework, so orders usually
won’t take great effect on them.
Maybe you have thought out that teachers can give orders only to the
majority and set some freedom to top students. However, it’s impossible .For a
whole class, teachers couldn’t give order to part of the class, for the majority
would question why they needn’t do such work, but we need? It would be probable
that they think teachers treat them not equally, and will not obey teachers’
orders any more. This is a difficulty for teachers.It also has another
disadvantage——the communication problem .Since teachers are strict, we never
tell teachers our personal affairs or secrets. Mostly we just tell them to our
friends, but as students too, they couldn’t help to solve our problem, such as
puppy love, communication problems or study problems .Not being solved
completely, they always disturb us, influencing our daily life and study. I’m
sure that you think that making friends with teachers can solve the problem, and
you are eager to do so as well. But if we do so, new problems will come out .You
see, an adult couldnt control himself well at times, let alone us students.
However if teachers are our friends, I doubt whether their orders will take
effect any more .You see, have we ever treated our friends’ orders as orders? We
think they’re only jokes. This is another difficulty for teachers.Additionally,
our parents have the same problem. Yes, we need to be friends, but not complete
friends. We need to keep a certain distance, making us communicate well and
willing to take your orders. I remember a story.One day, a lady had her rest
room decorated. And a skilled worker was bricking up the wall. Seeing large
cracks between the bricks, she questioned why. The worker told her after this
summer, the bricks would become bigger, and those cracks would disappear.That is
not only decoration, but also communication. The principle is the same.

+ 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!!!

篇16: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20:关于英语作文traveling高1
全文共 1227 字
+ 加入清单Nowadays, with long holidays at hand,travelinghas become a new trend for
us to relax ourselves outside work. Some people even had made a plan for it a
long time before the holiday begins. They usually travel with good friends or
travel along; only few people take their parents into travel plan. However, I
think it is high time for us to travel with parents.
In the first place, we should spend more time with parents. According to
research, if we come home 5 days a year, spend 4 hours a day with parents, it
would be less than 300 hours of 30 years, which means 25 days. We could see it
now that there is not much time for us to spend with our parents after we go to
work or have our own family. Hence, we should travel with our parents.
In the second place, parents used to took us to travel when we were young,
why don’t we take them as return when we are capable to do that. It is not the
matter of we are set free from parents, we are not a traitorous teenager
anymore, and we have time and money, of course we should take a trip with
parents. Holiday would be a good time for us to travel with parents, just like
the old time.
To summarize, we should make a plan for parents in holiday. Holiday is a
great gift for us and our parents.
