at home。 For example, first, we can turn off the light as well as other
appliances when we are not using them。 Second, recycle the waste water, paper
and other waste so that we can reuse them。 Whats more, it is suggested to use

Each time I see them, they think, feel with the other.
Every day to stay in his own study, although the book is my partner, can let I dare not to mind empty, but sometimes standing to the window and saw the children of the same age with me on the ground to play, there is sweet smile on her face, in the heart how envy.
So, every day I see it, and have a headache, how much I yearn for freedom, I hate being at home, live a life they want, how perfect it is!!!
"The birds have belong to own sky, fish have belong to own lake, the grass has belongs to own the land, the flowers have their own sunshine, why cant I have my own life?" My time of day, but god is one of my speaker, what can he reach to me?
Freedom, how much I yearn for freedom, if one day, I walked alone in the wilderness of fragrant, let the wind blowing my hair, as the grass on my feet, as the sun on my face, I will always be walking without the light of day, when one day, I went to the sea to the sea to speak my mind, pick up a conch tell my secret about it, have a dream that one day someone picked up it, slowly to get the ears to listen to tell my story, unknowingly going the rounds and mom, dad, you may hear this story?

关在鸟笼里的小鸟,自由的空间是无限的,它们就如井底之蛙,整天待在狭小的空间里,得不到属于自己的自由生活。

每天待在自己的书房中,虽说书是我的伴侣,可以让我不敢到心中的空虚,但有时站到窗前,看见与我同龄的孩子在空地上玩耍,脸上露出甜美的微笑,心中别提有多羡慕了。
每天如此,我便看到书就心烦,头痛,我是多么渴望得到自由,我讨厌被人拘束,过自己想要的生活,该是多么完美呀!
“鸟儿有属于自己的天空,鱼儿有有属于自己的湖泊,草儿有属于自己的土地,花儿有属于自己的阳光,我为什么就不能有属于自己的生活呢?”我对天长叹,但老天只是我的一个诉说者,他又能为我达到什么呢?
自由,我是多么渴望得到自由,若有一天,我独自漫步在花香弥漫的旷野上,任风儿吹拂我的头发,任草儿在我的脚上摆动,任阳光照射在我的脸上,我始终是漫无天日地走着,当某年某日的时候我来到大海边,对着大海说出我的心事,捡起一个海螺对着它说出我的秘密,梦想有一天有人捡起它,慢慢地拿到耳畔倾听着我那诉说的故事,不知不觉地一传十,十传百,妈妈,爸爸,你们也会听到这个故事吗?是不是明白了我的心事,给我一片属于我自己的完美生活,给我那想要的自由?
你们听到了那个故事吗?
“有时,我也想要自由!”我大声地呐喊着,一阵阵的回音传入我的耳畔。我是多么希望有着自由的世界啊!

哈哈!期末考试终于结束了,卷子也领了,寒假就在我美妙的想法中开始了。可惜,事与愿违,我希望寒假可以开开心心玩耍的想法,却被下班回家的妈妈击碎了:
晚上,妈妈下班回家了,一进门,就看到我俩在屋子游手好闲地晃,妈妈一下子就生气了,问道:“你们俩在寒假想要干什么?”我俩心不在焉地答道:“玩呗!”妈妈又问道:“那寒假作业呢?”“写呗!”我俩又答道。可没想到,这四个字,犹如放在煤气罐下的火柴,“嗵”的一声,让周围的事物化为乌有。妈妈向我俩大举“政治教育”的旗帜,强烈攻势使我俩招架不住,只得“认罪伏法”,写下了放假必备——计划书。内容大体是这样:
上午:完成一些寒假作业,背会10个英语单词,完成一篇英语作文等;
下午:字帖一页,复习所学知识,玩耍等。
而这份计划最让我满意的就是劳逸结合。每当写的头晕脑胀时,就可以出去放松一下,正如龙井说唱的歌里所唱的:“敲开你的脑子让它出来透透气吧!来个深呼吸,呼出那烦恼和压力……”帮奶奶扫扫地,给爷爷倒杯水,听听音乐……等放松够了,再去写作业,效率会提高不少呢!
如果我能在上午完成这一天的任务,那么下午,就是我的自由时光了,想干什么,就干什么。晚上还能看电视或电影呢!
怎么样?我的寒假计划不错吧?

篇11:关于青春英语高一
全文共 1130 字
+ 加入清单Whether sixty or sixteen, there is in every human beings heart the lure of
wonders, the unfailing childlike appetite of whats next and the joy of the game
of living. In the center of your heart and my heart there is a wireless station:
so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from
men and from the infinite, so long are you young.
An individual human existence should be like a river—small at first,
narrowly contained within its banks, and rushing passionately past boulders and
over waterfalls. Gradually the river grows wider, the banks recede, the waters
flow more quietly, and in the end, without any visible break, they become merged
in the sea, and painlessly lose their individual being.
Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, of the
appetite for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of
sixty more than a boy of twenty. Nobody grows old merely by a number of years.
We grow old by deserting our ideals.
Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.
Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.

篇16:高一年级英语作文:Chinas traditional festivals
全文共 1828 字
+ 加入清单The Chinese New Year has a great history. In our past, people lived in an agricultural society and worked all year long. They only took a break after the harvest and before the planting of seeds. This happens to coincide with the beginning of the lunar New Year.
The Chinese New Year is very similar to the Western one, rich in traditions, folklores and rituals. It has been said that it is a combination of the Western Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year. This is hardly an exaggeration!
The origin of the Chinese New Year itself is centuries old - in fact, too old to actually be traced. It is popularly recognized as the Spring Festival and celebrations last 15 days.
Preparations tend to begin a month before the date of the Chinese New Year (similar to a Western Christmas). During this time people start buying presents, decoration materials, food and clothing. A huge clean-up gets underway days before the New Year, when Chinese houses are cleaned from top to bottom. This ritual is supposed to sweep away all traces of bad luck. Doors and windowpanes are often given a new coat of paint, usually red, then decorated with paper cuts and couplets with themes such as happiness, wealth and longevity printed on them.
The end of the New Year is marked by the Festival of Lanterns, which is a celebration with singing, dancing and lantern shows.
At the Festival, all traditions are honored. The predominant colors are red and gold. "Good Wish" banners are hung from the ceilings and walls. The "God of Fortune" is there to give Hong Baos. Lion dancers perform on stage continuously. Visitors take home plants and flowers symbolizing good luck. An array of New Years specialty food is available in the Food Market. Visitors purchase new clothing, shoes and pottery at the Market Fair. Bargaining for the best deal is commonplace!

篇19:英语高一优秀作文100字
全文共 1662 字
+ 加入清单The way people hold the belief that a fun-filled, pain-free lifestyle
equals happiness actually reduces their chances of ever obtaining real
happiness. If fun and pleasure are equal to happiness,then pain must be equal to
unhappiness. But in fact,the opposite is true: more often than not things that
lead to happiness contain some pain.
As a result,many people avoid the very attempts that are the source of true
happiness.They fear the pain inevitably (不可避免地) brought by such things as
marriage,raising children,professional achievement, religious commitment,
self-improvement.
Ask a bachelor why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be
less and less satisfying. If he is honest,he will tell you that he is afraid of
making a commitment,for commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is
filled with fun, adventure and excitement.Marriage has such moments,but they are
not its most distinguishing features.
Couples,with infant children, are lucky to get a whole nights sleep of a
three-day vacation. We dont know any parent who would choose the word fun to
describe raising children. But couples that decide not to have children ever
know the joys of watching a child grow up or playing with a grandchild.
Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun
is one of the most liberating realizations. It liberates time: now we can devote
more hours to activities that can really increase our happiness. It liberates
money:buying that new car or those fancy clothes to increase our happiness now
seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy:we now understand that all those
who always have so much fun actually may not be happy at all.
