英語作文 篇1
There is a widespread concern over whether it's a bad thing that people ive in a placeall their live. But it's well known that one man'meat is another man'spoison.
A majority of people think that staying in a place for a long time is a better choice.In their views there are two reasons contributing to this attitude as follows: in the first place,people who stay in one spot can develop a lifetime friendship,and such a friend will give a hand without hesitation if trouble comes .In the second place ,when people move to different places,they usually are under pressue from strangeness.A person may feel lost and tense in a place where streets,stores and schools are all different. As a saying goes :Fear always springs from ignorance.
people, however ,differ in their opnions on this matter.Some people hold the idea that people shouldn't live in one place through their lives.In their opint of view,on the one hand,people who spend a lifetime in one location can be locked into a limited way of life. A real problem is that life lacks passion.On the other hand,those who move frequently have a variety of outlooks.There is a chance to appreciate different ways of life.
As far as I am concerned, I finally agree the view that people shouldn't stay in a place all their lives.It's not only because people can broden their vision indiferent places, but also because fear will disappear with time. There is no doubt that nothing brave nothing have.
英語作文 篇2
Who would disagree with the statement “progress is good”? Without progress , there would be no change. Without progress, there would be no change in our economy, our standard of living, or our health.
Progress is required to keep the economy moving forward. New products need to be developed; new services need to be created. Without progress, our economy would stand still. There would be no change. Without progress, there would be no supermarkets with fress produce brought in from all over the world.
Progress is required to improve our standard of living. Our homes today are more efficient and use less natural resources thanks to improvement in home construction techniques. Our clothes are warmer and safer thanks to developments in textile manufacturing. Our educational system is better thanks to the use of the computers and the Internet.
Progress is required to improve the health of the world population. Without progress, there would be no vaccines against deadly diseases like smallpox. Without progress, there would be increased infant mortality. Thanks to progress, our lives are longer and healthier.
Progress is a natural state. Without it, we would not evolve. Without it, our economy, our standard of living, and our health would deteriorate. Who could deny the necessity of progress.
A principals job is not as easy one. I only hope that in the future, I can model my own leadership abilities on the ones I observed in school. I hope I can be as firm, fair, and foresighted as my principal.
英語作文 篇3
Examination(考試)
Someone says examination can help us go over our lessons in time and after the examination we can find how we are getting on with our studies. But we are always having too many examinations and they are also too difficult for us to get through.I find some of us have lost interest in learning lessons. Besides,it is harmful to our health as we hardly have any time to go in for sports. I think the present system of measurement should be improved.
有人說考試可以幫助我們復習功課,考試后我們可以找到我們學習的方式。但是,我們總是有太多的考試,他們也太難了,我們很難通過。我發(fā)現(xiàn)我們中的`一些人已經失去了學習的興趣。此外,它對我們的健康有害,因為我們幾乎沒有時間去參加體育運動。我認為目前的測量系統(tǒng)應該得到改進。
Water(水)
Water is very important to living things. Without water there can be no life on the earth. All animals and plants need water. Man also needs water. We need water to drink, to cook our food and to clean ourselves. Water is needed in offices,factories, schools and hospitals.
From space the earth looks like a huge water-covered globe.Water covers about seventy percent of the earth's surface. There is water in oceans, seas, rivers, and lakes. Even in the driest part of the world, there is some water in the air. Water is found almost everywhere.
水對生物很重要。沒有水,地球上就沒有生命。所有動植物都需要水。男人也需要水。我們需要水喝,煮食物和清潔自己。在辦公室、工廠、學校和醫(yī)院都需要水。
從太空看地球就像一個巨大的水覆蓋地球,水覆蓋了地球表面的百分之七十。海洋、海洋、河流和湖泊中有水。即使在世界上最干燥的地方,空氣中也有水。水幾乎無處不在。

Nowadays many people like to have dogs as their pets. Dogs are friends of man not only because they are lovely but also because they are faithful to their masters.
Dogs can do a lot of work for man. They play with us. They hunt with us. They keep door for us. But long ago, dogs all over the world were wild.
Dogs can date back to the Stone Age. All dogs have the same ancestor. It is believed that their ancestor was much like a wolf. Other animals, such as the fox, came from this ancestor, too. Hundreds of thousands of years ago, man began to tame wild dogs. After the dogs were tamed, they were trained. The strong dogs became working animals. They were trained to pull heavy loads. They learned to keep an eye on the sheep and other animals. Working dogs had other jobs, too.Some dogs were not strong. But they could help man hunt for game. Other dogs were best as pets.Today, there are more than 100 kinds of dogs in the world.

Most of you are familiar with American, Canadian and English Christmas customs, which are largely the same, including Santa bringing presents that sit below a lit up tree. But have you ever wondered just how Christmas is celebrated in China, or in Finland?
Whether you’re just interested in learning more about other cultures or want to incorporate some new traditions into your holiday celebrations, this article is filled with all you need to know about international Christmases.
大多數(shù)人對英美加這些國家如何過圣誕都很熟悉。它們的圣誕習俗大同小異,包括圣誕老人在點亮的圣誕樹下放上禮物。但是你曾想過中國、芬蘭這些國家是如何慶祝圣誕的嗎?不管你是有興趣了解其他文化,還是想為自己的圣誕慶祝添點新花樣,這篇文章將給你所有“必知”的不同國家的圣誕知識。
Poland
波蘭
For Poles, Christmas Eve is a night of magic when animals are said to talk and people have the power to predict the future. It’s a time for families to gather and reconcile any differences, and to remember loved ones who have gone before them.
對于波蘭人來說,平安夜是充滿魔力的一夜。據(jù)說動物在這一夜可以與人說話,而人有預測未來的能力。家人們會在平安夜團聚一堂,調和矛盾,并懷念過世的親人。
Wigilia (vee-GEEL-yah), which literally means "vigil," or waiting for the birth of Baby Jesus, is considered more important than Christmas Day itself.
對波蘭人來說,“守夜”或“等待嬰孩耶穌的誕生”(Wigilia)比圣誕節(jié)那一天更重要。
Wigilia is a meatless meal because, years ago, Roman Catholics fasted for the four weeks of Advent, including Christmas Eve. In the past there were thirteen main dishes
(representing the Apostles and Christ), but, these days, many families have replaced this tradition with a twelve-fruit compote for dessert.
1
“守夜”晚餐是素食,因為多年前,羅馬天主教徒在降臨節(jié)四周一直到平安夜都齋戒。過去晚餐有13道主菜(代表耶穌和他的使徒)。但是如今許多家庭轉而選擇12樣水果的.果盤甜點。
The foods are to represent the four corners of the earth -- mushrooms from the forest, grain from the fields, fruit from the orchards, and fish from the lakes and sea.
食物代表地球的天涯海角——蘑菇來自于森林,谷物來自于田地,水果來自于果園,而魚來自于湖海。
Meals vary from family to family but usually include a special soup followed by many elegant fish preparations, vegetables, and pierogi.
每家的飯菜都不同,但通常都包括一種特制的湯,還有許多精致的魚肉餐、蔬菜和半圓形小酥餅。
Czech Republic
捷克共和國
The Czech version of Saint Nick is known as Svaty Mikulas, who is said to climb down to Earth from the heavens using a golden rope. Mikulas is accompanied by an angel and a 2
devil who help him decide which girls and boys deserve treats and toys, and which ones deserve a swatch.
捷克人稱圣誕老人為“米庫拉斯”(Svaty Mikulas)。據(jù)說他用一根金繩從天堂爬到了大地。陪在他身邊的是一位天使和一位惡魔。他們倆決定哪些男孩女孩值得得到美食和玩具而哪些孩子該被鞭打一頓。
There are a lot of fortune-telling traditions that are associated with Christmas as well. One involves a family member cutting a branch from a cherry tree and putting it inside in water. If it blooms in time for Christmas it is good luck. It also may represent that the winter will be short, or if a single woman picked the branch, it could mean she will get married in the next year.
圣誕節(jié)也有一些算命的習俗。其中有一個是家庭成員從櫻桃樹上砍下一根樹枝并把它放入水中。如果它在圣誕節(jié)開了花,就表示好運。它也代表冬季會很短。倘若一位單身女子撿到了這根樹枝,這表示她在明年將會結婚。
On Christmas Eve, single woman also try to see if they will get married in the next year by standing outside with their back to their front door, removing one of their shoes and
throwing it over their shoulder. If the shoe lands with the toe facing the door, then she will marry in the next year. If not, she will have to wait at least another 12 months.
在平安夜,單身女子還會通過“扔鞋子”來測試自己明年是否會結婚。她們在屋外背對前門站著,脫下一只鞋,把它從肩上向后扔。如果鞋子落地時鞋頭朝門,這就表示她們明年將會結婚。如果鞋子鞋尾朝門,她們就得再等個一年了。
Austria
奧地利
Austrian children still get to celebrate the arrival of Ol’ Saint Nick, but they also have to brace themselves for the arrival of his evil counterpart, Krampus. Where Saint Nicholas 3
rewards good behavior with treats and toys on December 6, the demonic Krampus arrives on December 5, looking to punish all the bad children. His weapons of choice are birch switches to beat children with and burlap sacks to kidnap them and throw them into the river. The worst part is that local men actually dress up like Krampus (just like many men dress up as Santa in America) and terrorize the streets. In some villages, kids are even made to run what is known as a Krampus-gauntlet, in an attempt to outrun the switches. 地利的孩子們慶祝圣誕老人的到來,但同時他們也得迎來邪惡的克拉普斯(Krampus)。圣誕老人在12月6號給表現(xiàn)好的孩子送美食、發(fā)玩具。而惡魔般的克拉普斯5號就到了,意在懲罰所有的壞孩子。他把樺樹枝做的鞭子當武器,還用粗麻袋綁架他們,把他們扔到河里。最糟糕的是,當?shù)氐哪惺繒虬绲南窨死账梗ň拖裨S多美國人打扮的像圣誕老人一樣),在街上嚇唬小孩子。在很多村莊里,很多小孩子甚至必須接受“克拉普斯大挑戰(zhàn)”,他們努力比克拉普斯的鞭子跑得更快。
France
法國
Children of East France have an evil visitor to keep them behaving all year long. Le Pere Fouettard, which translates into “The Whipping Father,” accompanies Saint Nicolas in on December 6. While St. Nick gives good children presents, Le Pere Fouettard gives coal and whippings to the naughty children.
法國東部的孩子們有個邪惡的造訪者,他叫“鞭子老爹”(Le Pere Fouettard),確保孩子們一整年都表現(xiàn)乖巧。圣誕老人12月6號給孩子分發(fā)禮物時,他也陪伴左右。“鞭子老爹”會給淘氣的孩子煤塊和一頓鞭子。
4
One of the most popular origin stories of the character say that he was a greedy inn
keeper who killed three rich boys on their way to boarding school. In many versions of the story, he even eats the children. Whether or not he cannibalizes the boys, the story ends when Saint Nick finds out and resurrects the children and forces Le Pere Fouettard to act as his servant throughout time.
關于“鞭子老爹”這個人物的起源,最流行的一個版本是說,他是一個貪婪的旅館老板,在三個富男孩上學路上把他們殺了。很多其他版本甚至流傳他吃小孩。故事的結局是圣誕老人找到并救出了孩子們,還迫使“鞭子老爹”永世做他的仆人。
Aside from The Whipping Father, another popular French tradition involves making a cake that looks like a traditional Yule log, known as buche de Noel. Christmas trees never really caught on in the country and while most people don’t have any use for an actual Yule log, the cake is a fun and festive substitute. Some of the buche de Nol can get fairly elaborate and even involve meringue mushrooms and edible flower decorations.
除了“鞭子老爹”的故事,法國圣誕還有一個傳統(tǒng)是做“圣誕柴蛋糕”。其實圣誕樹從未風靡全法國。雖然圣誕柴對法國人來說沒什么實際用途,但這個蛋糕代表了人們的愉快和節(jié)日的喜慶。有些“圣誕柴蛋糕”做得相當精致,甚至有蛋白酥皮小蘑菇和能吃的花朵裝飾品。
Germany
德國
Belsnickel is the German Santa’s dark enforcer, but he’s not nearly as evil as Krumpus or The Whipping Father. Instead he just wears fur from head to toe and gives good girls and boys candy and bad children coal and switches.
貝爾森克(Belsnickel)是德國圣誕老人的懲罰執(zhí)行者,但他沒克拉普斯或鞭子老爹那么邪惡。他從頭到腳穿著毛皮,給好孩子們發(fā)糖果,給壞孩子們煤塊和一頓鞭子。
