+ 加入清单We have read so many inspiring examples about how the successful people
stick to their dreams. We see the power of persistence. But as I see different
situations, sometimes the way to gain achievement is not favored by me.
Different people have different ways to keep move on.
For those people whose family are not poor, they can chase their dreams
without hesitation. The parents will give great support to them and no matter
what their children do, they just want them to be happy. Without the economic
burden, those people can focus all their attention and follow their dreams all
the time.
But for the persons whose family are poor, especially the parents are
waiting for the children’s economic support, they should make ends meet first
and then follow their dreams. Life can’t be ideal all the time, only when they
solve the basic needs, dreams will be supported. Some people make the things
they like as a hobby, they keep studying it in their spared time, if insist,
they will get the extra achievement.
Following dreams completes our life and make us live with meaning. The will
of never giving up will bring us success someday.
篇9:关于全球变暖英语
全文共 2051 字
+ 加入清单Many people believe that human activity is causing the earth’s temperature
to rise. They say that this global warming will have dreadful consequences for
our environment, such as drought and flooding.
What should governments do to help prevent global warming? Give reasons for
your suggestions.
The earth’s temperature is rapidly changing. As a result there has been a
lot of climate change such as heat waves, droughts and floods. Scientists
believe that this is the result of human activity, which is polluting the
Earth’s atmosphere. This could become a disaster if governments do not act to
help prevent global warming. They can act in three ways; by supporting research,
by making laws and by keeping the general public informed.
Firstly, governments can support research. For example, they should
encourage companies to develop vehicles that cause less pollution. They should
also support alternative sources of electricity from wind and water rather than
from oil and coal. As well, they should sponsor conferences to discuss the
effects of greenhouse gas emissions and possible solutions to the problem.
Secondly, they should make laws that limit the amount of greenhouse gases
that companies can emit. Private companies should be rewarded for following
these laws. They should also be punished for creating pollution.
Finally, everybody is affected by global warming. Therefore, it is
important that governments involve individuals in the problem solving process.
For example they should encourage households to save as much energy as possible
by using more efficient light bulbs or less hot water. They should also
encourage the public to recycle, and this should be compulsory for everyone.
Another way of saving energy is by public transport systems. Governments should
spend money on public transport to make it as easy as possible for the public to
save energy.
In summary, it is clear that there are a lot of things that governments can
do to prevent global warming. They should involve companies, support scientists
and encourage individuals to protect the planet.

篇12:关于代沟英语作文高中
全文共 999 字
+ 加入清单Generation gap refers to the misunderstanding between the old and young.
The term came into fashion after the 1980s. However, in recent years, the
phenomenon is getting more and more fierce.
How does generation gap come into being? The first reason is that the two
generations have grown up in different ages, thus they have different attitudes
toward life. Secondly, due to having little in common with each other, they are
unwilling to sit down and talk face to face. Besides, as modern life is so
stressful, both of them are so busy with their study or work that they have not
enough time to exchange their ideas.
To bridge the generation gap is not easy at all, but we can do something to
shorten it. For one thing, children should respect their parents as well as
accept their good advice. For another, parents should not only show their love
and care to the kids, but also support their good life view. As long as the old
and young can understand each other, it would be more harmonious in family and
world.

篇17:读书英语年级100词
全文共 1443 字
+ 加入清单Knowledge can be acquired from many sources. These include books, teachers
and practical experience, and each has its own advantages. The knowledge we gain
from books and formal education enables us to learn about things that we have no
opportunity to experience in daily life. We can study all the places in the
world and learn from people we will never meet in our lifetime, just by reading
about them in books. We can also develop our analytical skills and learn how to
view and interpret the world around us in different ways. Furthermore, we can
learn from the past by reading books. In this way, we won’t repeat the mistakes
of others and can build on their achievements.
Practical experience, on the other hand, can give us more useful knowledge.
It is said that one learns best by doing, and I believe that this is true,
whether one is successful or not. In fact, I think making mistakes is the best
way to learn. Moreover, if one wants to make new advances, it is necessary to
act. Innovations do not come about through reading but through experimentation.
Finally, one can apply the skills and insights gained through the study of books
to practical experience, making an already meaningful experience more
meaningful. However, unless it is applied to real experiences, book knowledge
remains theoretical and, in the end, is useless. That is why I believe that
knowledge gained from practical experience is more important than that acquired
from books.

+ 加入清单Let’s work together to find a balance point
Dear mom and dad:
A warm family , a fantastic surroundings are the best gift which you have given me since I was born. I don’t know how to express my appreciati The topic like (转载于:www.cSSyq.co m 书 业 网)“what’s a university?” or “what a university should do?” has been discussed many times in every age. Not only educationalists but also students take into it. Is it necessary to give priority to skills and knowledge in university education as they are essential to employers? Or students in universities should have access to all of knowledge just as they have their own sake? Chose A or B, this is a problem.
The value of knowledge itself need to be considered first in university education even though the course is not as practical as skills and technology. In Chinese culture, morality education is always took at first. It said that the way of real learning is to develop and expand virtue, to innovate peoples’ opinions, to get the best goodness. In addition, there are four stages in the success of a gentleman: first, to cultivate his moral characters; second, regulate his own family; third, rule the state successfully; forth, let the world get peace. In Chinese traditional value, students in
university need to develop his morality firstly, though these knowledge is not as useful as other skills after they get a job.
On the other hand, the practicability of a university course is also worth considering, especially in the age when our government call for the attention to skills and technology in university education and when the employees prefer to capacity and practical knowledge of employers. The time in university is limited and conditions and aims of students are different. When students chose which course to learn, it is inevitable for some of them prefer to those which are more needed in workplace.
Universities give equal access to all of knowledge, including the practical courses and others. What’s more, they need give more chance to students to choose what to learn. Congratulate on diversity!

+ 加入清单Education
Aducation is not an end, but a means to an end. In other words, we do not educate children only for educating them. Our purpose is to fit them for life.
In some modern countries it has been fashionable to think that free education for all can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect nation. But we can already see that free education for all is not enough.We find in such countries a far larger number of people with university degrees refusing to do what they think is "low"work, and. in fact, working with ones hands is thought to be dirty and shameful in such countries. But we have only to think a moment to understand that the work of a completely uneducated farmer is far more important than that of a professor~ we can live without education,but we die if we have no food. If no one cleaned our streets and took the rubbish away from our houses, we should get terrible diseases in our towns.
In fact, when we say that all of us must be educated to fit us for life, it means that we must be educated in such a way that, firstly, each of us can do whatever work is suited to his brains and ability and, secondly, that we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society, and that it is very bad to be ashamed of ones work. Only such a type of education can be considered valuable to society.
教育不是目的,而是达到目的的手段。换句话说,我们教育孩子不仅仅是为了使他们受到教育。我们的目的是让他们适应生活。
在有些现代国家中有种流行的想法,那就是全民义务教育可以解决一切社会问题、建立起完美的国家。但我们也能看到,仅有全民义务教育是远远不够的。我们发现在
这些国家中,很多拥有大学学位的人拒绝从事那些他们认为“低等”的工作,实际上,在这些国家里,体力劳动被认为是肮脏、丢人的。但只要我们想一下就能明白,其实那些完全没受过教育的农民的工作要比教授的工作重要得多;没有教育我们可以生活,但是没有食物我们只有死路一条。如果没有人每天清扫街道,把垃圾从我们家中运走,我们的城镇就会感染可怕的疾病。
事实上,当我们说所有的人都必须接受教育以适应生活的时候,意思是我们必须受到这样的教育:第一,每个人都可以做任何适合自己智力、能力的工作的;第二,我们应
该意识到所有的工作都是社会的必要组成,为某人的工作感到羞耻是很不正确的。只有这样的教育才能被认为是真正对社会有益的教育。
