Protecting the environment and taking care of the earth is something we all should do.

Recently there are a lot of environment has been destroyed, around us there are many people in the destruction of the environment, cut down the trees, the birds were killed, flowers and plants have been burned, it is one thing for our warnings, the forests are disappear in every 375 square kilometers, the desert is evolving, flooded the countless individuals every beautiful homes, precious and there are ancient animals are killed, the panda has now been arrested, and so far only 1000 only, although there are a lot of people have built consciously protection station, but there are still some people for money by hook or by crook the killing of animals, birds no longer common, because being grabbed, trees less, because being cut, please protect them! If you go on like this, again, and the future of the animals we have learned in a book, according to people each with experts observation, day and night, a protective layer in the sky, the ozone hole, is because of the large hole lead to global warming, and the year before become very hot in the summer, many people died in the heat.

All this is because people open super sound emitted by aircraft emissions of waste gas and the car tail gas is left at the trial of toxic substances in the air into the results, if in so doing, the glaciers will melt, make the surface flat area, causing most of the land of the sea submerge.

If you dont stop cutting trees, when the trees were cut down light, desert will evolve, without the tree represents no oxygen, and the air was full of carbon dioxide, make the person cannot breathe, cause a person to cant live.

Please do not cut down trees, let the birds have a home, do not emit waste gas, let us live together in this beautiful earth!

here are many kinds of animals in the world,but not only the humans.we live in the same world,and we should be friends.as everybody knows,the humans are the rulers of the world today,so we should protect our friends--the animals!

As time goes by,there are going to be big changes in our everyday life.For example,when we are hungry,we dont need to cook in a hurry.Just take some pills,and everything will be OK.When we are free,we can go anywhere by spacecraft.It will be very cheap,just like taking a taxi now.And of course,if we want to see what is like under the sea,just travel down there in a flying object like UFO.Maybe there will be a lot of cities and people living there.I think itll be very easy to travel anywhere,not only in our world,but also in space and in the deep sea.

地球是我们人类的家园，也是人类的母亲。我们依赖它，探索它。这个蔚蓝色的星球多么美丽，但我们要知道：地球只有一个！社会想要不断向前发展，就需要消耗更多的地球资源。社会的发展虽然给我们带来了许多方便，可是，人们的道德品质也越来越差了。他们为了一己私欲而去无节制的去滥砍滥伐，导致森林资源大面积的迅速减少，造成了严重的环境问题。科技不断的向前发展，人们家里几乎都有了一辆小轿车，轿车的出现给我们的出行带来了很大的方便。随之，问题出现了汽车排放的尾气成了人们关注的焦点。保护环境是每个人的事，要成为每个人的自觉行动，而且要坚持在时时刻刻随时随地。只有每个人都行动起来，环境才会更好，否则，你对环境的破坏越重，他就会以百倍的力量报复你，就像我们经常看到的沙尘暴那样。

环境的好坏是我们能否在地球上继续生存的关键。保持良好的生活环境多我们大有所益。我为周围环境的恶化而感到心痛，例如，清洁工人把这一片地面扫得干干净净，不宜回来了老中小三人。老人“咳，咳，咳”，“嘘”第一口痰吐出去。小的正将手中的冰棒吃完，“嗖”的一扔，废棍落地。那年轻的刚吸完一口烟，随手就把烟头扔在地上。更有甚者，住在高楼之上的少数不到的公民，经常对这楼外乱扔垃圾乱泼污水。再则，人行道上的绿化树木，花草本来可以给人们遮荫，挡雨，给人一种美的享受，可就有些人容不下它们，经常要置它们于死地自己心里才舒服。所以我想：作为未来接班人的青少年，如果不了解环境问题的严重性，无视有关环境保护的法律法规，不去增强环境保护意识，我们的生命将毁在自己的手中，老天将对我们作出严厉的惩罚。为此我下定决心要从我做起爱护环境，保护我们这个赖以生存的家园，做一个保护环境的卫士。如果我们破坏环境，浪费水资源，生物会灭绝，人类会渴死，地球会变成沙漠。

然而，近几年来，地球的环境却越来越恶劣：全球性气候变暖，飓风、暴雨等灾害性天气频繁出现，“非典”、禽流感等传染性疾病时有发生，给人类的生活和工作带来严重威胁和许多不便。这些都是人们不断地“伤害”地球的结果。大片的森林被砍伐，碧绿的青山被挖掘，美丽的草原成荒漠，清澈的河水成浊流。树林少了，青山秃了，草原荒了，清水黑了，使人们生存的环境变坏，呼吸的空气变差，生活的环境被许多有害的东西所“侵占”，病毒就趁机钻进人们的体内，我们人类就会患上一些可怕的疾病。想要保护环境首先要保护森林。只有让树木存活，他才能更好的为我们提供氧气，而我们才能更好的生存。而一些人为顾个人利益而不顾国家利益，去滥砍滥伐。他们认为，地球上有这么大片的森林看一点不算什么。可是，设想一下，如果全地球上的人只砍一棵树，那么地球上将失去多少树木。如果每人只砍一棵树，两棵，三棵，上百棵，上万棵，那么，地球上的树木将会失去多少。想想都让人害怕。大片森林资源的消失，会给我们带来我们意想不到的伤害。最为明显的是人类呼吸的氧气得不到充分的供给，那么人类的生命将危在旦夕。大片森林的消失，会引起一系列严重的自然灾害。如：泥石流、地震、火山爆发、土地沙漠化等一系列大的灾害。如果树木没有了，那么一些以树木，树叶为食的小动物也随之消失，大片森林消失了，鸟儿也就没有了安身之处，那么鸟类也就从此从世界上消失了。一些以它们为食的动物也因食物不足而灭绝。这些动植物的消失，会让整个地球失去多么美好的一道风景线。我们的地球已经进入了病入膏肓的状态。后知后觉的地球人，直至近几年才大力鼓吹环保运动，但却不见有任何的改善，正所谓“江山易改本性难移”，或许我们需再花上一个世纪，甚至几十个世纪的时间去拯救地球吧。如果就连身为地球人的我们都不爱护地球，那这工作将由谁来做呢？曾几何时，地球是宇宙中最美丽的星球，她拥有茂密的森林、清澈浩瀚的海洋、巍峨的高山、奔腾不息的江河、“飞流直下三千尺”的壮观瀑布，繁衍了一代代的优秀儿女。地球穿着一条蔚蓝色的纱裙，成为众星球的焦点。幽幽蝉鸣，蛙声连连，海欧轻盈地掠过海面，秋风落叶，田野飘香；地球一直是人类的理想家园。为了人类更好的生存，为了把地球建设的更加美丽，富饶我们应该增强环保意识，倡导低碳生活，保护森林资源，建设绿色家园，倡导低碳生活，促进科学节能。

为了我们的健康，为了我们的幸福生活，为了共建我们美好的家园——地球。让我们从身边的点点滴滴的小事做起，倡导低碳生活。保护环境，是我们每个社会公民的义务，我们要自觉的行动，并坚持在随时随地保护我们周围的环境，保护环境，就是在保护人类生存的最宝贵的地方。我希望大家都来保护环境，让大家知道，破坏自然环境，就等于自毁家园。让全世界少年儿童，都能自觉保护环境，保护生态自然环境，使人类生活变得更加美好，更加幸福。

我们生活在大自然里，大自然对我们非常重要。如果我们不爱护它，自然灾害就会降临到人类。

可是，由于人们环保意识不足，有一些人就随地扔垃圾，一些宠物就在路边随地大小便。有一些工作繁忙的人就到外面吃快餐，剩饭剩菜随手乱丢。有一些人随地扔纸团，那些躺在公路上的纸团，就像一个个破坏环境的魔鬼。还有一些工厂冒着浓浓的黑烟，把天空弄得黑乎乎的。有些工厂里排放出来的污水流进江河里，导致河水变黑、变臭，许许多多的鱼死亡。有些人就乱砍树木，土地变得裸露了。没有了树木，空气质量受到影响，许多生物因为缺氧而消失。有一些人在河边吃完东西，就往河里扔，原本清澈的河水变成了又脏又臭的水沟，路过的人都捂鼻而过。

为了我们的环境，我要跟那些人说：“请你们不要再破坏环境了，否则自然灾害就会降临到人类。如果再这样继续破坏的话，整个地球就会消失。世界末日始终会到来。

地球是我家，保护环境靠大家。让我们一起行动起来，保护我们这个美丽可爱的地球吧!

Low-carbon life means a kind of lifestyle in which people do their best to reduce energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions.

Then，how can we live a lowcarbon life?Firstly，we should recognize that the lowcarbon life is not only a kind of lifestyle but also a life attitude.Each of us is responsible for the greenhouse gases in our daily actions.To combat climate change we have to take the combined efforts of everyone on the planet.Secondly，we should develop good habits in our daily life.Paper cups are made from cutting forests.We should try not to use them because trees can absorb carbon dioxide and reduce greenhouse gases.Similarly，lights should be turned off when they are not used，which will greatly reduce electricity consumption.

In a word，small actions above can make a big difference.

Almost everyone wants to live a long life, but longevity is not for all

people. It is reported that most long life people are in villages, far away from

big cities. In village, life is closer to nature. The sky there is clear and

pretty; the air is fresh; the water is clean; and the food they eat are natural,

without any chemicals. Besides, those villages are abundant in green trees,

beautiful flowers, fresh fruit, and wild animals, which can evoke peoples

passions for life. Moreover, the living pace in those villages is rather slow.

People suffer less stress than cities’. Thus, they have more freedom to enjoy

what they like. No wonder that most villagers are strong and healthy. If I

become old someday, I would like to move to village to enjoy a more comfortable

and pleasant life.

高中英语作文一次不愉快的旅行

一次不愉快的旅行

I went to Changsha for my holiday by train on the night of July 15th,2012. It was so hot in the carriage that many passengers wanted something to drink. Just then, a young man came to deliver water with a water jug in hand. "Water, water. Free water. "shouted the young man.

A middle-aged woman asked for a glass of water and was very grateful to the young man. But after a while, two tall and strong men came to charge her five yuan for that glass of water. The middle-aged woman looked at them and took out a five-yuan note from one of her pockets slowly. Without a word, she handed the note to one of them, her eyes being filled with anger.

The carriage was silent. The two men went away without any sense of shame. "Robbers!" someone said in a low voice.

This was really an unpleasant trip I have ever had!

2012年7月15日晚，我乘火车去长沙度假。由于天气很热，车厢里有很多乘客都想喝水。正好，一个年轻人提着水壶来送水。"水，水，免费供水。"年轻人大声嚷着。

一位中年妇女喝了一杯水，非常感激他。可过了一会儿，来了两个又高又壮的人向她要5元水钱。中年妇女看着他们，慢慢地从兜里掏出了5元纸币给其中一个人。她什么也没说，眼里充满了愤怒。

车厢里一片寂静。那两个人毫无愧色地走了。"强盗!"有人小声说道。

Throughout history man has changed his physical environment in order to

improve his way of life。 With the tools of technology he has altered many

physical features of the earth。 He has transformed woodlands and prairies into

farms and made lakes and reserviors out of rivers for irrigation purposes or

hydroelectric power。 Man has also modified the face of the earth by draining

marshes and cutting through mountains to build roads and railways。

However， mans changes to the physical environment have not always had

beneficial results。 Today， pollution of the air and water is an increasing

danger to the health of the planet。 Each day thousands of tons of gases e out of

the exhausts of motor vehicles。 Smoke from factories pollutes the air of

industrialized areas and the surrounding areas of the countryside。 The pollution

of water is equally harmful。 The whole ecological balance of the sea is being

changed and industrial wastes have already made many rivers lifeless。

Now environmental protection is more pressing than ever before。 As we know，

massive destruction of environment has brought about negative effects and even

poses a great threat to mans existence。 Indifference to these problems will

mean mitting suicide。 Therefore， effective measures should be taken and laws

passed to conserve environment。 Otherwise，man is certain to suffer from the

serious consequences caused by this lack of care for his living

surroundings。

Today is the 21stcentury, as the highly developed of technology, we

facilitate our life with all kinds of newly invented products, such as computer,

digital camera and so on. The technology products indeed brings us convenience,

the old way of doing things has been challenging. Before, people like to write

letters to say hi to others or send letters to give people information, while

today, people can use smart phone or computer to call others quickly, that saves

a lot of time. Does the way of writing letters will be kicked out and disappear?

Well, on my opinion, though people like to use the new technology, letter still

has its charm. Writing letters means someone is in sincere attitude, the one who

receives the letter will be touched deeply. Sometimes message is hard to use

phone to explain, then letters will be used. In a word, writing letter will be

not out of day.

Everyone has a lot of dreams.Some people want to become wealthy overnight; some people want to become well-known in the world overnight.I have a lot of dreams, too.When I was a girl, I dreamed of becoming a scientist like Hua Luogeng one day.But I know, plum flower. So I studied hard and hard for my dream when I was in high school and college.

After graduating from college, I became a teacher. Although I was busy every day, I didnt forget my dream. I still kepIn the knowledge on the road constantly groping forward, and. Now, I have made great achievements, and many of my research papers have been published, and the research results also have a very high application value.I am so happy。 Although the goal of becoming a scientist is far from it, I am still moving forward.

【翻译】

每个人都会有许多梦想。有的人想变得富有，一夜暴富;有的人想一夜成，名扬四海。我也有许多的梦想。当我还是一个女孩的时候，我就梦想着，有朝一日成为一名像华罗庚那样的科学家。但是我知道，梅花香自苦寒来。所以，我在中学和大学时为我实现我的梦想而认真刻苦的学习。

大学毕业后，我成为了一名老师，虽然我每天都很忙碌，但是我没忘记过我的梦想，我仍然不断坚持学习。在求知的道路上不断摸索前进，废寝忘食。现在，我已经小有成就了，我的多篇研究论文相继发表，研究成果也有着极高的应用价值。我很快乐。虽然，成为一名科学家目标还很远，毕竟我还是在不断向前迈进。

Id like to tell you that our school has worked out a new program.

The purposes of the program are to make our school more beautiful, to make the air cleaner and fresher, and to turn our school into a better place for us to study and live in.

Dont you think it a wonderful program?

Welcome to our school if you have any chance.

Every child needs to receive education and they spend so much time to learn

knowledge, whether they are like or not. The adults always tell their children

that as they are young and full of energy, so they should learn knowledge and

skills, but most kids dont know the necessity of study. The most important

reason to study is to keep pace with the time. We live in the society that we

need to make connections with others. If we dont get the newest information, we

will be kicked out and have no idea what they are talking about, then isolation

happens. Whats more, when we are equipped with skills, we can make our choices

and take charge of our life. In order to live the comfortable life, we must

study hard and fight for our future.

保护森林(Protecting the Forests)

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.

保护森林

在我国的一些地区，由于需要木材和得到更多的耕地，许多人一直在砍伐森林中的树木，森林面积正变得越来越小。一些科学家预言二三十年后将不会再有大片的森林，这真的是一件可怕的事情。森林在哪里消失，沙尘暴就在哪里发生，天气会变得炎热而干燥，整个地球会变成一个大沙漠，大量的动植物会消失，没有地方再长庄稼，生活会变得很艰难，人类因为破坏森林的活动将受到惩罚。

因此，我们应该认识到保护森林的重要性，尽最大努力保护我们的生存环境，保持山绿、水清、天蓝。

We need to follow all kinds of public rules, such as the manner rules and

the traffic regulation. If we break the rules, then all the work will be out of

order and everybody will suffer the loss. But few people just ignore the rules

and waste other people’s time and money.

Chinese high speed train has won many praise from foreign people. The

trains always start off as the timetable and reach the destination on time. High

speed train is popular by the public by its speed and punctuality, but what if

someone breaks the traffic rule? Recently, a video got popular on the Internet.

A woman was stuck in the door of high speed train and the staffs tried to stop

her but failed. She said her husband was on the way and she wanted the train to

start off later. How ridiculous it was. How could she let all the passengers to

wait for her. Everybody’s time is precious.

Though the woman apologized after the policemen’s education, what she did

discomforts the public. The way she acted wasted the public’s time. It is our

duty to follow rules and keep the public in order.
