+ 加入清单People’s whole life is not too long or too short. They have experienced
many things in their life journey, such as, success, fail, happy, sad, and
excited and so on. What about dreams? Some people think that they have so many
things to deal with in the limit time. How can they spend time for dream? It is
a waste of time. However, some people regard dreams are as important as their
life. People can’t live without dream. In my opinion, I agree with the latter
idea.
First of all, dreams provide life motivation for human beings. If a person
has a dream, he will try his best to take every chance to reach it. Even though
he will meet many difficulties on the way, even has to give up, but he will
renerve in the end. It is because he has dreams, and he has the desire to see
the day his dream come true. So no matter what obstacle he meets, he has the
motivation to overcome. This is the power of dreams.
In addition, life without dreams is meaningless. We often see that when
someone talks about his dream, his face is full of smile. It is because dreams
give him hope and fun. No matter the dream is easy to make it or not, when the
people think of it, they will have the beautiful vision to fight for. But if a
person who don’t have a dream, he would not know what he should do and can do.
His life is confused and meaningless.
In a word, dreams look like the lighthouse in the ocean. It gives people
motivation and the meaning of their journey. It is so significant that everyone
needs dreams.

+ 加入清单Far and away the most important holiday in China is Spring Festival, also
known as the Chinese New Year.
To the Chinese people it is as important as Christmas to people in the
West.
The dates for this annual celebration are determined by the lunar calendar
rather than the Gregorian calendar, so the timing of the holiday varies from
late January to early February.
To the ordinary Chinese, the festival actually begins on the eve of the
lunar New Year‘s Day and ends on the fifth day of the first month of the lunar
calendar. But the 15th of the first month, which normally is called the Lantern
Festival, means the official end of the Spring Festival in many parts of the
country.
Spring Festival is the most importantand popular festival in China.Before
Spring Festival ,the people usually clean and decorate their houses.And they go
to the Flower Fairs to buy some flowers.
During Spring Festival ,the adults usually give lucky money to
children.People often get together and have a big meal.Some people eat dumpling

篇2:高中英语
全文共 1543 字
+ 加入清单It goes without saying that english plays an important role in our modern
society. english is an international language. wherever you go, you can hear
english spoken by many people.
From this point of view, it is true that english is important to our daily
life. learning english is like learning to swim or learning to play ball. our
primary trouble is that we have tackled the study of language from the wrong
end. we are like theman who thinks he can learn to swim only by reading books
about swimming. in actuality, we learn by doing. the grammatical rules are
valuable as we plunge into the language and need some assistance. in the same
way, advanced instructions about swimming are helpful as we learn something from
actual experience in the water. but reading books never makes a swimmer and
learning rules never makes a practical linguist. the regular procedure in
learning english involves listening first, to be followed by speaking. then
comes reading, and finally the writing of the language. the way you learn
english is much the same as the way you learned your own language.
First of all you must listen and then repeat and repeat until you can use
the language easily. in other words, you have to build up language habits in
english just as you build up english habits in your own language. to sum up, we
must bear in mind that nobody can learn to swim for you. nobody can learn to
play ball for you. nobody can learn english for you. its up to you. you must
learn for yourself and you will learn if you really want to and are willing to
practice.

篇6:我的大学生活英语
全文共 2344 字
+ 加入清单As we know, many people favor the idea that the college life is free and
comfortable, but I’d like to say it’s not true. As a matter of fact, my life in
university is so busy that I wonder if my energy is enough. As to my college
life, I divide it into four parts, including study, student activities, library
and the others.
Firstly, I want to talk about the study. In my opinion, study is the
priority in college. When I received the letter of admission in summer, I knew
clearly that what I should do. So I make up my mind to study hard and pursue
learning as much as possible. I’m greatly convinced that knowledge can change my
life. Therefore, I often go to the quiet study room where many people study
there. By working so hard, I get good grades in the exams.
Secondly, student activities play an important role in our college life. To
be honest, the student Union is a good place where one can develop social
skills, get his abilities trained. I take part in many student activities. For
example, I’ m a volunteer, teaching the kids to learn to dance and write. I
think it’s meaningful for everyone to give a hand to others. I can also do some
jobs in the Student Union, including receiving and sending fast mail, selling
papers and magazines. I think they’re unforgettable and worthwhile experiences
for me.
Thirdly, I also visit the library constantly. It’s said that “shelves of
books, oceans of knowledge”, so I read books that I’m interested in. In this
way, I can share stories with my new friends and it also changes my horizons
.When I’m sad, lost or in trouble, staying the library makes me quiet and
comfortable. After all, every life has bad moments as well as good ones, and the
library for me is a support in bad moments. So it’s wise choice for me to stay
in the library.
Finally, I often do other things in my spare time. In order to alleviate
parents’ burden, I often do some part-time jobs and write some articles to earn
money. It helps me to be independent and improve my social skills.
In short, my life in university is busy but valuable. You can see that
study brings me knowledge, student activities improve myself, library changes my
horizons, the others things make me independent. They get all my abilities
trained. And I see that the chance will come only if you have a prepared mind,
so I’m sure that I can achieve my dreams in college life.

+ 加入清单Since I went to college, I feel so excited about the new chapter of my
life. I have imagined the campus life for so many years. Now I finally come to
this stage. I have much time after class, so I need to learn to deal with it.
After two years’ struggling, I find the right way to spend my time.
The first thing for every college student is to learn major knowledge. In
China, so many students think college time is used to play instead of study, so
they skip class. This is a big mistake. College is the stage for students to
master practical skills, which decides what kind of job they will work on. So I
study very hard from Monday to Friday. I don’t want to miss the important
knowledge.
The second thing for college students is to join the after-class
activities. Joining the activities can not only learn more skills, such as dance
and sports, but also can make friends. Campus is like a small society. Students
need to learn to make connections with other students, so that they can win more
chances. I learn a lot from my new friends and know how to communicate.
My college life is wonderful, I learn both knowledge and social skills.
