Now in some places of our country, a number of people have been cutting down the trees in the forests because they need wood and more farmland. The areas of forests are getting smaller and smaller. Some scientists say that there will be no vast forests in 20 or 30 years. It is really a terrible thing. Where the forests disappear, dust storms will occur occasionally. The weather will get hot and dry. The whole earth will become a big desert. A lot of plants and animals will disappear.Crops will not grow anywhere. Life will be difficult for everyone. The human beings will be punished for their forest-destroying activities.

Therefore, we should realize the importance of taking care of our forests. We should do our best to protect our living environment and keep our mountains green,the water clean, and the sky blue.

The Campus Activity that Has Benefited Me Most 使你受益最深的一项校园活动

As a coin has two sides,when it comes to “what campus activity that has benefited you most”,different people may have different opinions.As far as I am concerned,it is the psychological composition competition that has benefited me most.

There are,to my mind,plenty of shaping factors,among which,the following ones are particularly worth mentioning.One of the most valuable one is it is the field that I like.I can find a place to say something,either to the world or to myself,which will make me feel relax,get a good mood and enjoy myself.Another fundamental one which should not be neglected is I can appreciate others’ merits and find my own weakness,and then make up for it.Last but not least,I can find people who have the same thinking and interest with me,and become friends.Take myself for instance,it is in the psychological composition competition that I find my soul mate.

Judging from the reams of evidence,it is safe for me to conclude that psychological composition competition is the campus activity that has benefited me most.If it had not been for it,I could not have enjoyed myself so much.

正如一块硬币具有两面性一样，当问到“什么校园活动让你最受益”的时候，不同的人会有不同的观点。就我而言，我认为使我最受益的活动是心理征文比赛。

在我看来，有很多原因让我形成这个观点。其中，下面这些原因是最值得一提的。首先，也是最有价值的是因为这是我喜欢的领域。在这里我可以找到一个地方来倾吐自己的心声，可能是对世界的，也可能是对自己的。这样我就会觉得很轻松，有一个好的心情，并享受自己的生活。另外一个不能忽视的重要原因是，在这里我能欣赏到别人的优点，发现自己的缺点并进行弥补。最后，我可以在这个比赛中找到和我有同样的思想和兴趣的人，并成为好朋友。就拿我自己来说，我就是在心理征文比赛中找到了自己的知己。

根据上面提出的证据，我得出“心理征文比赛使我最受益”这个结论是很合理的。要是没有这个活动，我不能如此的热爱我的生活。

Pollution: An Increasing Concern in China It is reported that ten big cities in China are being ranked among the top twenty cities with the highest pollution index in the world. This means it is high time we did something to bring the situation under control.Many factors are contributing to the deteriorating situation: industrial wastes pumped into the air, the lakes and rivers; a increasing number of automobiles crowding into the streets; the widespread use of plastic bags etc. To my view, stiffer laws and regulations must be implemented to check pollution. Industries that release wastes without permission should be heavily fined. Cars should be equipped to minimize the exhaust they release into the air. And the use of plastic bags and disposable meal boxes should be banned. Whats more, the media should play an important role in implanting a sense of environmental consciousness into peoples mind. If everybody works toward a common goal of making the environment better, we can create a cleaner and lovelier world for us and for the coming generation.

由于时代的逐步发展，人们似乎都忽略了一个重要的因素，那就是：环境。它可关乎着我们的未来以及存亡。在商场里，行人中，甚至是家里，都有一个东西的踪影，它看虽不重要但却减轻了我们的负担，方便，但是很多人却不知道，它也是破坏环境的一大因素之一。没错，它就是塑料袋。虽塑料袋被土壤侵蚀会破坏环境。而且现在在宴席上用一次性筷子，杯子，一次性碗儿，的人越来越多，因为它既浪费木材资源破坏环境。所以我们提倡少用一次性碗筷与塑料袋。现在城市排放污水的也越来越多，河道肮脏不堪，天也不湛蓝，很少在周围见过一棵绿树，我们幻想的绿色却被抹上了一道道灰暗的色彩，面对现在的环境为了改变，与施行沙漠绿洲化，所以我的梦想是一名环保志愿者，让未来的祖国干净，清澈重返一个绿水青山的祖国。所以我会向这方面努力，多参加公益环保活动，不求回报，面对破环境的人快速阻止，长大后真真正正的做一名环保志愿者。

保护环境的英语作文（一）

With the improvement of our living standard， more and more people can afford a car。 As a result， our roads are more often than not crammed with cars。 However， with more and more waste gas being discharged by the cars， the problem of air pollution bees even more serious。 So nowadays we advocate to lead a low-carbon life。

My suggestion is we should ride bikes more often instead of driving cars。By riding a bike， we can not only exercise our body but also protect our environment。 Why not have a try， my dear friends?

As we all know， the environment around us is getting worse and worse /more and more seriously today。 Water is polluted， we have no clean water to drink。 Many trees are cutting down， some animals are getting less and less。 Some factories are pouring dirty air into the sky。 The population is increasing faster and faster， resources are getting less and less…etc。 Not only does it affect our lives and health， it also has a great affection in the future。 People’s health has been greatly affected by air， noise and water pollution。 Many people died of diseases。 In order to live a better life， something must be done to stop the pollution。 It’s our duty to protect our environment。 We shouldn’t throw away rubbish everywhere。 Trees are very helpful and important for us。 We should plant more and more trees in order to live better and more healthy in the future。

If everyone makes contribution to protecting the environment， the world will bee much more beautiful。 In a word， if everyone pays more attention to our environment， there will be less pollution and our life will be better。 “There is only one earth”， I hope everyone will protect our environment well。

保护环境的英语作文（三）

There are still many problems of environmental protection in recent years。 One of the most serious problems is the serious pollution of air， water and soil。 the polluted air does great harm to people’s health。 The polluted water causes diseases and death。 What is more， vegetation had been greatly reduced with the rapid growth of modern cities。

To protect the environment， governments of many countries have done a lot。 Legislative steps have been introduced to control air pollution， to protect the forest and sea resources and to stop any environmental pollution。 Therefore， governments are playing the most important role in the environmental protection today。

In my opinion， to protect environment， the government must take even more concrete measures。 First， it should let people fully realize the importance of environmental protection through education。 Second， much more efforts should be made to put the population planning policy into practice， because more people means more people means more pollution。 Finally， those who destroy the environment intentionally should be severely punished。 We should let them know that destroying environment means destroying mankind themselves。

保护环境的英语作文（四）

Environmental problems are as big as not for individual country or individual people to address。 In other word， we have reached the stage that environmental problems be solved for international view。 To what extent do you agree or disagree?

In recent years， many nations have bee more aware of the environmental issues each nation faces， such as air and water pollution。 The question is， are the environmental issues a national problem or an international problem? It is my belief that the environmental issues have grown to the point of being an international problem needing international cooperation to resolve。

Because of the differences in environmental policies， resources and technology， international cooperation could provide quicker results and have a greater impact on bringing resolution to environmental problems for nations of differing environmental policies and of lesser resources and technology。 By pooling international resources and technology to address the environmental problems， the disadvantaged nations are provided the assistance needed。 Otherwise their environmental conditions deteriorate ultimately affecting the resources and environment of the world as a whole。

One of the difficulities to an international resolution to environmental issues is the difference in individual nations view and policies toward environmental protection。 In order for international cooperation to occur and succeed， the nations of the world must submit themselved to international standards and supervision by an international mission elected by the participating nations of the world。 All members must agree to abide by the standards established。

The environmental issues facing each country are not unrelated to the well being of the rest of the world。 The impact is long term and international in scope。 Without international cooperation and agreement to address such environmental issues as glacial melting at the South Pole， depletion of the ozone layer， water pollution， air polution， etc。， the environmental conditions of the world will deteriorate to the detriment of every nation， not just those that ignore or lack the resources and technology to resolve their individual environmental problems。

As part of the same planet， it is the responsibility of each individual and nation to protect the global environment。 Only international cooperation will provide the timely solutions and the effectiveness needed to stop the deteriorating global environment。

people have been living on the earth for thousands of years.humanactivity influences the earth. some people believe that theearth isbeing harmed by human activity. others feel that humanactivitymakes the earth a better place to live. in my opinion, theearth isbeing damaged by human activity. there are manystatementssupporting my opinion.

human activity has damaged natural environment and almostexaustednatural resources. modern industry needs more and moreresources,including minerals, fuels and water. so we confront ofthe seriousproblems such as the lack of fuels and water.ecological balance isdamaged because factories occupy many placeswhere animals andplants live. more and more buildings areconstructed and forestsbecome less and less. if we cannotrecognize these problems andsolve them soon, we would finally losethe environment suitable forour living.an other serious problem is the green-house effect.humanactivity decreases forests and increases the usage of fuels sothatthe gas of carbon dioxide is output more and more and there arenotenough plants to absorb it. the green-house effect is moreobviousand more sensible these years. due to the effect, icebergsin thesouth polar and north polar melt and the sea level becomeshigherthan before. i am worried about the cities nearby the sea andhopescientists find an effective method to eliminate thegreen-houseeffect.

although we have advanced machines and our life seemsmorecomfortable than before, we have less chances to approachnaturesand less spaces to act. the cities become bigger and if wewant tohave a picnic with our friends, we have to drive a longdistance tofind a natural place. in fact, the spaces of humanactivity arebeing damaged by the skyscrapers and factories.from the above statements, we can conclude that humanactivitybrings the earth many damages. fortunately people haverecognizedthe point and i believe that the earth will become abetter placeto live with our ceaseless efforts.

Environmental problems are being more and more serious all over the world。

For example， cars have made the air unhealthy for people to breathe and

poisonous gas is given off by factories。 Trees on the hills have been cut down

and waste water is being poured continuously into rivers。Furthermore， wherever

we go today， we can find rubbish carelessly disposed。 Pollution is， in fact，

threatening our existence。

The earth is our home and we have the duty to take care of it for ourselves

and for our later generations。 Fortunately， more and more people have realized

these problems。 Measures have been taken to cope with these problems by the

government。 Laws have been passed to stop pollution。 I hope the problem will be

solved in the near future and our home will bee better and better。

The protection of the border is not a new problem for us, and our government has long proposed clear targets for governance. As every ordinary person in real life, although it is impossible to work directly in environmental protection, we can start from small things and start from me. Can you raise your hand when you see the tap in the bathroom? When the battery runs out, can you classify it instead of throwing it away? How about when shopping doesnt use ultra-thin plastic bags? ...... Small things are small, but they reflect how much environmental awareness we have.

Recycling one ton of waste paper can regenerate 800 kg of paper, can save 17 tree. 20 waste recycling boxes can create a beautiful pen container. Recycling one glass bottle to save the energy, can make the bulb light for four hours. Recycling one aluminum can is to save the half oil cans. So we should place the garbage classification, reproduction by the relevant department after recycling reuse!

As long as we start from oneself, starts from the minor matter, everybody joint efforts, perseverance, we will be for the society, also a piece of clear water, blue sky for yourself, I hope everybody can voluntarily protect the environment, to make our environment more beautiful life.

境保护对我们来说并不是一个新问题，我国政府也早就提出了明确的治理目标。作为现实生活中的每一个普通人，虽然不可能都直接从事环保工作，但我们完全可以从小事做起，从我做起。当看到洗手间的水龙头在滴水时，是不是能够举手关上呢?当电池用完后能否分类收藏处理而不是随手扔掉呢?当购物时能否自觉不使用超薄塑料袋呢?……一件件小事虽然都很不起眼，但却体现我们究竟具备了多少环保意识。

回收1吨废纸可再造出800千克好纸,可以挽救17棵大树.回收20个废餐盒可以造出一个漂亮的笔筒.回收一个玻璃瓶节省的能量,可使灯泡亮4个小时.回收1个铝罐就等于节约了半个铝罐的石油.所以我们应将垃圾分类安放,由有关部门回收后再生产再利用!

只要我们从自己做起，从小事做起，大家共同努力，持之以恒，就一定能为社会、也为自己留下一片碧水蓝天，我希望人人都能自觉保护环境，让我们的生活环境更加美好。

介绍元宵节风俗的英语作文

The Lantern Festival falls on the 15th day of the 1st lunar month, usually in February or March in the Gregorian calendar. As early as the Western Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 25), it had become a festival with great significance.

This days important activity is watching lanterns. Throughout the Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 220), Buddhism flourished in China. One emperor heard that Buddhist monks would watch sarira, or remains from the cremation of Buddhas body, and light lanterns to worship Buddha on the 15th day of the 1st lunar month, so he ordered to light lanterns in the imperial palace and temples to show respect to Buddha on this day. Later, the Buddhist rite developed into a grand festival among common people and its influence expanded from the Central Plains to the whole of China.

Till today, the lantern festival is still held each year around the country. Lanterns of various shapes and sizes are hung in the streets, attracting countless visitors. Children will hold self-made or bought lanterns to stroll with on the streets, extremely excited. "Guessing lantern riddles"is an essential part of the Festival.

Lantern owners write riddles on a piece of paper and post them on the lanterns. If visitors have solutions to the riddles, they can pull the paper out and go to the lantern owners to check their answer. If they are right, they will get a little gift. The activity emerged during peoples enjoyment of lanterns in the Song Dynasty (960-1279). As riddle guessing is interesting and full of wisdom, it has become popular among all social strata.

People will eat yuanxiao, or rice dumplings, on this day, so it is also called the "Yuanxiao Festival."Yuanxiao also has another name, tangyuan. It is small dumpling balls made of glutinous rice flour with rose petals, sesame, bean paste, jujube paste, walnut meat, dried fruit, sugar and edible oil as filling. Tangyuan can be boiled, fried or steamed. It tastes sweet and delicious. What’s more, tangyuan in Chinese has a similar

pronunciation with "tuanyuan”, meaning reunion. So people eat them to denote union, harmony and happiness for the family.

In the daytime of the Festival, performances such as a dragon lantern dance, a lion dance, a land boat dance, a yangge dance, walking on stilts and beating drums while dancing will be staged. On the night, except for magnificent lanterns, fireworks form a

beautiful scene. Most families spare some fireworks from the Spring Festival and let them off in the Lantern Festival. Some local governments will even organize a fireworks party. On the night when the first full moon enters the New Year, people become really intoxicated by the imposing fireworks and bright moon in the sky.

元宵节英文介绍译文:

元宵节

每年农历的正月十五日，春节刚过，迎来的就是中国的传统节日--元宵节。

元宵主要的活动就是看灯。东汉明帝时期，明帝提倡佛教，听说佛教有正月十五日僧人观佛舍利，点灯敬佛的做法，就命令这一天夜晚在皇宫和寺庙里点灯敬佛，令士族庶民都挂灯。以后这种佛教礼仪节日逐渐形成民间盛大的节日。该节经历了由宫廷到民间，由中原到全国的发展过程。

直到今天，元宵点灯的习俗仍然在中国的各地流传的，各式各样美丽的花灯在这一天都会点亮，孩子们提着自制的灯笼走街串巷，非常高兴。

猜灯谜也是元宵节的一项重要活动，花灯的主人会将谜面写在灯笼上，挂在门口，如果有人可以猜中，就能得到小小的礼物。这项活动最早起源于宋朝，因为谜语能启迪智慧又饶有兴趣，所以流传过程中深受社会各阶层的欢迎。

民间过元宵节吃元宵的习俗。元宵由糯米制成，或实心，或带馅。馅有豆沙、白糖、山楂、各类果料等，食用时煮、煎、蒸、炸皆可。起初，人们把这种食物叫“浮圆子”，后来又叫“汤团”或“汤圆”，这些名称“团圆”字音相近，取团圆之意，象征全家人团团圆圆，和睦幸福，人们也以此怀念离别的亲人,寄托了对未来生活的美好愿望。

随着时间的推移，元宵节的活动越来越多，白天有耍龙灯、耍狮子、踩高跷、划旱船扭秧歌、打太平鼓等传统民俗表演。到了夜晚，除了五颜六色的美花灯之外，还有艳丽多姿的烟火。大多数家庭会在春节时留下一些烟花等到元宵节这天燃放，而一些地方政府也会举办烟花大会，当新年的第一个月圆之夜在盛大的烟火表演中来临时，人们都陶醉在这令人难忘了烟花与皎洁的明月中。

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。
