+ 加入清单Dear Wang Lin,
It’s really my pleasure to make friends with you. I’m Zhao Gang and I’m 17
years old. I like playing football and reading. I’m good at writing and playing
the piano. But I really want to be a journalist after graduating from
university. To get good marks, firstly, think listening carefully in class is
most important. Then we should ask the teacher questions we have in time.
Finally, getting rich knowledge out of class is also necessary. I hope the
advice can help you in your studies. Welcome to our school if you have the
chance. And I’ll show you our school and my favorite books. Also I can play a
piece of piano music for you.
Looking forward to your letter.
Best wishes.

篇1:高一英语作文:love of life
全文共 1695 字
+ 加入清单it hurts to love someone and not be loved in return. but what is more painful is to love someone and never find the courage to let that person know how you feel.a sad thing in life is when you meet someone who means a lot to you, only to find out in the end that it was never meant to be and you just have to let go.
the best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation youve ever had.its true that we dont know what weve got until we lose it, but its also true that we dont know what weve been missing until it arrives.it takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone- but it takes a lifetime to forget someone. dont go for looks; they can deceive. dont go for wealth, even that fades away. go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.
dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.always put yourself in the others shoes. if you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the person too.a careless word may kindle strife; a cruel word may wreck a life; a timely word may level stress; a loving word may heal and bless.the happiest of people dont necessarily have the best of everything they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.
love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, ends with a tear. when you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. live your life so that when you die, youre the one smiling and everyone around you is crying.

篇3:高一英语作文食品安全
全文共 1431 字
+ 加入清单With the growing awareness of healthy eating, more and more people now are
paying more attention to the importance of healthy diet and an active life。 But
at the same time, a growing unrest over food safety in the China has caught
everyone’s concern。
When it es to the food safety incidents, especially 2008 Chinese milk
scandal, every consumer has much anger to pour upon them。 In September 2008, a
fresh outbreak of kidney disease occurred, due to baby formula contaminated by
melamine.Three babies died and over 6,000 were made sick by the tainted formula。
The supplier of the milk, Sanlu Group, is a name brand and is a major player in
the industry in China。 The pany is said to have known of the problem for months,
but claims the contaminant came from milk suppliers.
Who should be main responsible for these serious incidents like milk
scandal? On one hand, plex China’s food regulations should shoulder part
duties.We should realized its monitoring system can be unresponsive, and the
government departments that oversee and enforce policies have overlapping and
often ambiguous duties。 On the other, food producers and suppliers lack deserved
responsibility for consumers! What they cares is only their own interest and
profit maximization.
In my opinion ,everyone involved in it should set up a high responsibility
for others, law related should be passed and carried out.Only in this way can we
e by a healthy eating and a harmonious world.

感恩母亲,是她忍着十月怀胎的艰苦,期待着我将临人间。随着我的第一声洪亮的啼哭,母亲就开始日复一日,年复一年无休止地为我操心、操劳,无怨无悔,细心地呵护着、养育着我。让我生活在欢乐幸福的环境中,让我无忧无虑地健康成长。
感恩母亲,是她教会我学会做人,是她教会我如何去与伙伴们相互沟通交流,是她教会我人与人之间要互助互爱。在我记忆最深刻的是有一次,我和妈妈一起回老家,老家的表哥正在玩一个游戏模型玩具,我见了也很想玩就一把抢了过来,可表哥又抢了回去,我便一拳打过去,表哥也不让回打了我,于是我们便打了起来。这时妈妈见了急忙把我拉到一边去。平时因我是家中独生子,大家都对我疼爱有加,这让我养成了霸气十足不肯服输的个性。本想妈妈这回会叫表哥把玩具让给我玩,可是妈妈却没那样做,而是把我拉到一边要我向表哥道歉。起初我心中非常恨表哥,哪肯轻易服输呢?妈妈见状就不断安慰我并耐心地启迪我,给我讲起了“孔融让梨”的故事。听了这个故事后我也认识到了自已的错,便向表哥道歉认错。从那以后我跟表哥之间都非常友好地相处,再也没吵架过。母亲的教诲在我幼小的心灵留下深刻的记忆,使我在自己的生活中学会友善待人、互相宽容、互相歉让。
感恩母亲,是她把最无私的爱给了我,是她时时刻刻牵挂着我的衣、食、住、行。感谢母亲给予我的点点滴滴的关心。古人云:“滴水之恩,当涌泉相报”。古有黄香温席、卧冰求鲤……二十四孝的故事。今有感动中国孝女孟佩杰的故事。可如今的我对母亲的感恩有千言万语也道不尽,诉不完。从今起,我平时要多帮妈妈分担家务,减少母亲的操劳,平时多努力学习功课,以减少母亲的操心。多给母亲一些问候,为她倒茶端水,擦汗捶背。
总之,要感谢母亲的事太多太多了,我记起孟郊曾作过一首《游子吟》,“慈母手中线,游子身上衣。临行密密缝,意恐迟迟归。谁言寸草心,报得三春晖。”如今我也把这首诗送给我的母亲,以表达我对母亲的感恩之情。

surface. Most of it, however, is in the oceans and is too salty to drink. Also,
some of it is frozen and cannot be used. In fact, less than one percent is left
for the use of people, animals and plant life. All through history men have
tried to build their homes near the sources of fresh water. Now fresh water is
becoming scarce, but more and more is needed because of the increasing number of
people in the world. Some industries also use large amounts of fresh water in
the production of things such as steel, petroleum, paper and rubber and so on.
Scientists estimate that the need for fresh water will have doubled by the year
2003. If they are correct, we must find new ways of saving it or producing it.
Some nations have worked on the problem and are already sharing their
information with others. They are trying to keep their rivers from becoming
polluted. Deep wells are also being dug, and rain water is being collected in
huge artificial lakes. In one way or another, they hope to provide enough water
to satisfy the needs of their people.

篇20:庆祝春节高一英语作文
全文共 1893 字
+ 加入清单The Lunar New Year is now popularly known as the Spring Festival because it starts from the Begining of Spring . Its origin is too old to be traced. Several explanations are hanging around. All agree, however, that the word Nian, which in modern Chinese solely means year , was originally the name of a monster beast that started to prey on people the night before the beginning of a new year.
One legend goes that the beast Nian had a very big mouth that would swallow a great many people with one bite. People were very scared. One day, an old man came to their rescue, offering to subdue Nian. To Nian he said, I hear say that you are very capable, but can you swallow the other beasts of prey on earth instead of people who are by no means of your worthy opponents? So, it did swallow many of the beasts of prey on earth that also harassed people and their domestic animals from time to time.
After that, the old man disappeared riding the beast Nian. He turned out to be an immortal god. Now that Nian is gone and other beasts of prey are also scared into forests, people begin to enjoy their peaceful life. Before the old man left, he had told people to put up red paper decorations on their windows and doors at each year s end to scare away Nian in case it sneaked back again, because red is the color the beast feared the most.
From then on, the tradition of observing the conquest of Nian is carried on from generation to generation. The term Guo Nian , which may mean Survive the Nian becomes today Celebrate the Year as the word guo in Chinese having both the meaning of pass-over and observe . The custom of putting up red paper and firing fire-crackers to scare away Nian should it have a chance to run loose is still around. However, people today have long forgotten why they are doing all this, except that they feel the color and the sound add to the excitement of the celebratio
