Penguins live around the South Pole. They usually spend all their waking hours in the water. Only during the egg-laying and mating periods do penguins actually live on land. During the egg-laying period, the female penguin lays usually one egg. This egg is kept in a flap of skin, much like a pocket, located near the top of the penguin’s feet. The male and female penguins take turns caring for the egg. After the baby penguin is hatched, its mother takes care of it until it is able to walk. Then it joins the other babies, and the whole group is watched by a few adults.

Penguins commonly are black with black heads and white breasts. Large penguins often stand about 3 feet in height. Since a penguin’s legs are placed far back, it is able to maintain a very erect posture. It is amusing to watch penguins and to see how much the upright birds resemble humans in dress suits walking in a comical fashion.

你的家乡在哪里呢?那里又什么样的风景?下面是语文迷整理的我的家乡英语作文,希望对你有帮助。

【第1篇】我的家乡英语作文

My hometown is beautiful place It stands near a wide river at the foot of low green hills. It has many tall buildings and wide streets. There are trees and flowers everywhere.

But it has not always been like that. In the old days, it was a sad dirty little town. Landlords and merchants lived in the few good houses. For the working people there were only dark, unhealthy rooms in old buildings and huts in narrow muddy streets. Nearly everyone was poor and many had no work.

Everything has changed since liberation. The people, led by the Party, have got rid of the mud and dirt. They have put up schools, theaters, shops and flats. They have an assembly hall and a hospital. Along the river they have built offices, hotels and parks. A lot of factories have sprung up. On the river, streamers and boats come and go busily, day and night. They carry the products of our industries to all parts of the country.

I love my hometown, and I love its people. They also have changed. Healthy and happy, they are going all out to build socialism.

我的家乡

我的家乡是个美丽的地方.它座落在一座不高的绿色山脚下,一条宽阔的河流边.有许多高耸的大楼和宽阔的街道.树木和花草随处可见.

但是它并不是一直如此.在旧社会,它是一个凄凉、肮脏的小镇.地主和商人住在几栋漂亮的房子里.劳动人民只能住在破旧、黑暗、不卫生的房子里或是狭窄、泥泞街道旁的茅屋里.几乎所有人都贫困,许多人没有工作.

解放后一切都改变了.在共产党的领导下,人民告别了泥泞和肮脏.他们建起了学校、剧院、商店和公寓,还有大礼堂和医院.沿河建起了办公大楼、宾馆和公园.许多工厂迅速涌现.河上汽船、小船日夜穿梭,他们将我们的工业产品运往全国各地.

我热爱我的家乡,我热爱家乡的人民.他们身上也发生了变化.他们健康、幸福,正在鼓足干劲建设社会主义.

全文共 3219 字

+ 加入清单

BACKGROUND

I was born in a small village of Shan Dong Province on April 4th, 1968. When I was young, my family was very poor, so I had to work to earn money to help my parents after class when I was in the middle school.

In 1986 I was admitted by University of International Business and Economics (or: UIBE) to pursue a bachelor degree in Economics. My major is accounting in Department of International Business Management. The undergraduate education gave me a wide range of vision and taught me how to cooperate with others. I developed several professional interests in Accounting, Finance, and International Trade.

The following eight-year working experience offered me a good chance to give full play to my creativity, intelligence and diligence. In 1990-1993, I worked as an assistant to funding manager in China National Technical Import and Export Corporation. In 1993-present, I was employed by China Kingdom Import and Export Corporation to be the Manger of Financial and Accounting Division.

I do believe that with my hard early life, solid educational background and ample working experience, I would be an excellent student of you MBA program.

MY PERSONAL ACCOMPLISHMENT: After graduating from UIBE, I was employed as the assistant to the funding manager by China National Technical Import and Export Corporation. After reading a lot of related files, and analyzing the overall funding situation of the corporation, I found that the loan policy was not been put into effect. So we have thousands of millions RMB loan with very high interest rate while a large amount of cash in bank with very low interest rate was idle. I reported this to my supervisor, and then we studied and revised the loan policy. This revision saved the corporation approximately RMB thirty millions yuan. In order to raise the funding effectiveness, after one year’s hard work, I developed the internal banking system within the corporation based on the actual funding supply and need of the different divisions and projects. This internal banking system made full use of the corporation’ funding resources, and due to this, I was highly praised by the president of the corporation.

WHY CHOOSE YOUR MBA PROGRAM? After I have worked in business area for eight years, I feel that I need to continue my education by pursuing a Master degree in business administration. I have practiced my professional expertise in accounting, demonstrated my leadership abilities and perfected my communication skills. But I have yet to become an entrepreneur in my own right, and to fully master the art of modern business. I want to be trained more vigorously in scientific methods of analysis and synthesis. There are a lot of opportunities and challenges in China that I do not yet fell fully confident to seize. My business career has so far benefited mostly the companies that I worked for, but a good business education in your university will probably become a new era for me.

Your university is well known for its excellence in China’s business education. I am sure that, with my extensive business experience, I can be a worthy student of yours. I am anxious to benefit from your seasoned guidance and take advantage of your research facilities.

元旦”的“元”,指开始,是第一的意思,凡数之始称为“元”;“旦”,象形字,上面的“日”代表太阳,下面的“一”代表地平线。“旦”即太阳从地平线上冉冉升起,象征一日的开始。人们把“元”和“旦”两个字结合起来,就引申为新年开始的第一天。元旦又称“三元”,即岁之元、月之元、时之元。元旦一词最早始于三皇五帝,唐房玄龄等人写的《晋书》上载:“颛帝以孟春正月为元,其时正朔元旦之春。”即把正月称为元,初一为旦。南朝梁人兰子云的《介雅》诗也云:“四气新元旦,万寿初今朝。”

还有个传说,是在4000多年前远古的尧舜盛世之时,尧天子在位时勤政于民为百姓办了很多好事,很受广大百姓爱戴,但因其子无才不太成器,他没把“天子”的皇位传给自己的儿子,而是传给了品德才能兼备的舜。尧对舜说:“你今后一定要把帝位传交好,待我死后也可安心瞑目了。”后来舜把帝位传给了治洪水有功的禹,禹亦像舜那样亲民爱民为百姓做了很多好事,都十分受人爱戴。后来人们把尧死后,舜帝祭祀天地和先帝尧的那一天,当作一年的开始之日,把正月初一称为“元旦”,或“元正”,这就是古代的元旦。
