and parents, so I always let the chance go and refuse to try. Once, I have a
chance to take a performance in the Christmas show, but thinking about if I
performed badly, all my friends would laugh at me, so I gave up the chance. But

篇6:关于改变自己英语
全文共 2194 字
+ 加入清单In our daily life, we can learn something from some cases. However, from my
point of view, I think that it is essential for us to know ourselves in a right
way. People who have a full awareness of the importance to improve themselves
will discover themselves continuously. Therefore, we can say that if we want to
change ourselves, we must bravely reveal ourselves.
Every coin has two sides, and we are no exception. When we experience some
situations, we will find that there are many advantages of us. Thus, we can have
a huge sense of satisfaction. We may have a little pride, because we are happy
that we can make good use of our advantages to solve more difficult problems in
the future. However, at the same time, we also can realize that there are still
some disadvantages of us. These disadvantages will bring us different
influences. I’d like to point out that people who can bravely accept and remove
their disadvantages will gain a bright future. On the contrary, people who
choose escape or ignorance their disadvantages will indulge themselves, and they
no further progress.
Don’t indulge yourself. If we indulge ourselves, we will meet more terrible
suffering in our later life. I know that when we find our weakness, we may say
that I will never do that again, and regret doing so meaningless thing. I am
such a fool. But when we meet similar situations next time, we will still tell
ourselves that it doesn’t matter that I do it again. Then we will indulge
ourselves to expand our disadvantages. It shows that some people who have no own
principle will fail to realize their promises. When we can overcome our
laziness, we will understand that solving some problems may be not so difficult.
Therefore, we should try our best to control ourselves to pursue higher
development.
There are no any excuses to indulge yourself. We should tell ourselves that
we are capable to overcome our weakness, though it needs much time. However, if
we succeed once, then we will be successful again. Last, we don’t indulge
ourselves. We will become more complete.
Everyone can take actions to improve themselves. Don’t indulge yourself. If
you succeed, you will acquire a huge wealth, and your life will become more
brilliant.

篇10: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.

敷完毛巾后,我又急急忙忙的找妈妈的药,我左翻翻右找找,终于在一个小缝隙里找到了药盒,我从里面取出药瓶,用劲儿想要把它打开,可它却无动于衷,我只好使出吃奶的劲儿来,把瓶盖用牙旋转开来,打开瓶盖的我欣喜万分,立马倒下水把药喂给了妈妈。

全文共 579 字
+ 加入清单妈妈在我们的生活中有着不同的角色,她既是一名工作努力的上班族,又是一位尽心尽力照顾我们的全职保姆,在我们的眼里,她是无所不能的。周五看到的一张图片上的妈妈让我对她感到十分的惊讶而又敬佩。
图片上描述的是一位妈妈抱着她的女儿行走在蒙蒙细雨中。远看,她一手撑雨伞,一手抱孩子,在雨中有条不紊的走着。近看才发现,她身上的东西十分繁多,手肘上挎着白的皮包,身穿着白衬衫和黑白短裙,脚穿高跟鞋,由此,我们可以知道,她其实是一个上班族。不仅如此,如果我们仔细看的话,就会发现在她的手上还拎着一包蔬菜;她抱着的那个小女孩大概是在上小学的一二年级吧。这位小女孩正趴在母亲那瘦弱的肩膀上向后望着,却一点也不担心会有雨淋到她,因为母亲打着的那把伞已将她遮的严严实实的。在母亲的背后,还背着一个粉红的小书包,由此,我们能够笃定是在放学接他女儿回家。
通过以上这些观察,我们不难想象,这位母亲在辛勤工作了一天后,就拖着疲惫的身躯去买菜,接孩子,回家后还要做饭、洗衣服......妈妈是多么的辛苦啊!但是这不仅仅只是一个妈妈如此,而是大多数的妈妈都是一样的!她们之所以会有着超强的安排能力,不是因为别的,就是因为作为一名母亲所要承受许多许多,这只因为她们是一位妈妈。
就是因为这一张小小的图片,让我重新认识了妈妈,让我明白了她们的艰辛,明白了她们的不易,她们一切的辛苦,只因为她是一位妈妈。

篇20:关于元宵节英语
全文共 6620 字
+ 加入清单There are many different beliefs about the origin of the Lantern Festival.
But one thing for sure is that it had something to do with celebrating and
cultivating positive relationship between people, families, nature and the
higher beings they believed were responsible for bringing/returning the light
each year.
One legend tells us that it was a time to worship Taiyi, the God of Heaven
in ancient times. The belief was that the God of Heaven controlled the destiny
of the human world. He had sixteen dragons at his beck and call and he decided
when to inflict drought, storms, famine or pestilence upon human beings.
Beginning with Qinshihuang, the first emperor to unite the country, all the
emperors ordered splendid ceremonies each year. The emperor would ask Taiyi to
bring favorable weather and good health to him and his people. Emperor Wudi of
the Han Dynasty directed special attention to this event. In 104 BC, he
proclaimed it as one of the most important celebrations and the ceremony would
last throughout the night. They clean it all up in the morning.
Another legend associates the Lantern Festival with Taoism. Tianguan is the
Taoist god responsible for good fortune. His birthday falls on the 15th day of
the first lunar month. It is said that Tianguan likes all types of
entertainment, so followers prepare various kinds of activities during which
they pray for good fortune.
Yet another common legend dealing with the origins of the Lantern Festival
speaks of a beautiful bird that flew down to earth from heaven, which was hunted
and killed by some villagers. This angered the Jade Emperor in Heaven because
the bird was his favorite one. Therefore, he planned a storm of fire to destroy
the village on the 15th lunar day. The Jade Emperors daughter heard of this
plan, and warned the villagers of her father’s plan to destroy their village.
The village was in turmoil because nobody knew how should they escape their
imminent destruction.
However, a wise man from another village suggested that every family should
hang red lanterns around their houses, set up bonfires on the streets, and
explode firecrackers on the 14th, 15th, and 16th lunar days. This would give the
village the appearance of being on fire to the Jade Emperor. On the 15th lunar
day, troops sent down from heaven whose mission was to destroy the village saw
that the village was already ablaze, and returned to heaven to report to the
Jade Emperor. Satisfied, the Jade Emperor decided not to burn down the village.
From that day on, people celebrate the anniversary on the 15th lunar day every
year by carrying red lanterns on the streets and exploding firecrackers and
fireworks.
There are many stories on how this festival was created. One other story is
about a maid. In the Han Dynasty, Mr. Eastern was a favorite advisor of the
emperor. One winter day, he went to the garden and heard a little girl crying
and getting ready to jump into a well to commit suicide. Mr. Eastern stopped her
and asked why. She said she was a maid in the emperors palace and her name was
Yuan-Xiao.
She never had the chance to meet her family after she started worked at the
palace. She missed them so much every 12th lunar month. If she couldnt have the
chance to show her filial piety in this life, she would rather die. Mr. Eastern
promised her to find a way so she could reunion with her family. Mr. Eastern
left the palace and set up a fortune-telling stall on the street and disguised
himself as a fortuneteller. Because of his reputation, many people asked for
their fortunes.
But every one got the same prediction - a severe fire accident on the 15th
lunar day. The rumor spread quickly. Everyone was worried about the future and
asked Mr. Eastern for help. Mr. Eastern said, "On the 13th lunar day, the God of
Fire will send a fairy lady in red to burn down the city. If you see a lady in
red wearing green pants riding a black horse on that day, you should ask for her
mercy." On that day, Yuan-Xiao pretended to be the red fairy lady. When people
asked for her help, she said, "Im the messenger of the God of Fire and came to
check on the city and Im going to set up fire on 15th. This is an order from
Jade Emperor. He will watch from the heavens.
I will give you a copy of the imperial decree from the God of Fire. You
should go to ask your emperor to find a way out." After she left, people went to
the palace to show the emperor the decree which reads "The capital city is in
trouble. Fire burns on the palace, and fire from Heaven burns all night long on
the 15th." The emperor of Han Dynasty was very shocked. He called and asked Mr.
Eastern for advice. After pondering for a while, Mr. Eastern said, "I heard that
the God of Fire likes to eat Tang-Yuan (Sweet dumpling). Does Yuan-Xiao often
cook Tang-Yuan for you? On the 15th lunar day, let Yuan-Xiao make Tang-Yuan.
Your Majesty will take charge of the worshipping ceremony and you will give
an order to every house to prepare Tang-Yuan to worship the God of Fire at the
same time. Also, deliver another order to ask every house in the city to hang
red lantern and explode fire crackers. Lastly, everyone in the palace and people
outside the city should carry their lanterns on the street to watch the lantern
decoration and fireworks. If everything goes this way, the Jade Emperor would be
deceived.
Then everyone can avoid the fire accident." The emperor happily followed
the plan. Lanterns were everywhere in the capital city on the night of the 15th
lunar day. People were walking on the street. Fire crackers kept making lots of
noise. It looked like the entire city was on fire. Yuan-Xiaos parents went into
the palace to watch the lantern decorations, and Yuan-Xiao made a big lantern
and wrote her name on the lantern. They happily reunited together after her
parents called her name. Everybody was safe during the night. The emperor of Han
Dynasty had a new order that people should do the same thing every year. Since
Yuan-Xiao cooked the best Tan-Yuan, people called the day Yuan-Xiao
Festival.
Young people were chaperoned in the streets in hopes of finding love.
Matchmakers acted busily in hopes of pairing couples. The brightest lanterns
were symbolic of good luck and hope. As time has passed, the festival no longer
has such implications.
Those who do not carry lanterns often enjoy watching informal lantern
parades. In addition to eating tangyuan (simplified Chinese: 汤圆; traditional
Chinese: 湯圓; pinyin: tāngyuán), another popular activity at this festival is
guessing lantern riddles (which became part of the festival during the Tang
Dynasty), which often contain messages of good fortune, family reunion, abundant
harvest, prosperity and love.
