高中保护长城的英语作文【通用20篇】

Since I was very small, my parents sent me to learn painting. They thought

I could understand art and mastered one skill. This experience brings me the

sense of art. I have my own understanding of it.

On the one hand, art is an important way to express peoples opinion. When

we see the pictures, the difference between classical and ordinary paintings

lies in the thoughts. The famous artists implant their ideas in the pictures,

which are admitted by the public, so the value of arts can be seen. Some famous

artists expressed their unique opinion and gives arts great meaning.

On the other hand, art is not only from works, but also from life. For

example, my mother cooks the delicious food. Everybody speaks highly of her. So

her food brings people great happiness, which makes the food an art for me.

Whats more, my friends is good at communicating. The way she talks can convince

other easily, so I call the way she communicates as an art.

In all, for me, art is around. It brings people a way to see the world or

makes our life wonderful.

Once man did not have to think about the protection of his environment。 There were few people on the earth， and natural resources seemed to be unlimited。Today things are different。 The world has bee too crowded。 We are using up our natural resources，and polluting our environment with dangerous chemicals。 If we continue to do this， human life on earth will not survive。 We realize that if too many fish are taken from the sea， there will soon be none left。 Yet，with modern fishing methods， more and more fish are caught。We know that if too many trees are cut down， forests will disappear。 Yet， we continue to use powerful machines to cut down more and more trees。 We see that if rivers are polluted with waste products， we will die。 Yet， waste products are still put into rivers。

过去，人们不必担心保护环境的问题。因为那时地球上人口稀少，自然资源似乎取之不尽。如今，一切都改变了。世界变得拥挤异常。我们正在耗尽我们的自然资源，有毒化学制品的使用也正污染着环境。如果我们继续这样下去，地球上的生命将不复存在。我们都明白如果从海里捕捉太多的鱼，海里就不会再有鱼了。可是，现代化的捕鱼技术使得捕鱼量越来越大。我们都明白如果砍伐太多的树木，森林就会消失。可是，我们仍旧使用强大的机械砍伐越来越多的树木。我们都明白如果河水被废弃物污染的话，我们仅有死路一条。可是废弃物仍然源源不断地进入河里。

We know that if the population continues to rise at the present rate， in a few years， there won＇t be enough food。What can we do to solve these problems?If we eat more vegetables and less meat， there will be more food available。 Land for crops feeds five times more people than land where animals are kept。Our natural resources will last longer if we learn to recycie them。The world population will not rise so quickly if people use modern methods of birth control。

我们明白，人口继续照此刻这个速度增长的话，不出几年，就会发生食物短缺。我们该如何解决这些问题呢?如果我们多吃蔬菜，少吃肉类的话，我们就会有更多的食物。因为同样大小的土地如果种庄稼的话会比养殖动物多养活五倍多的人。如果我们学会再利用的话，自然资源就能持续更久。如果人们使用现代化的生育控制方法，世界人口就不会增长如此迅猛。

Finally， if we educate people to think about the problems we shall have a better and cleaner planet in the future。

最终，如果我们能够教育人们都意识到这些问题的话，未来我们就会有一个更好、更洁净的星球。

万里长城本是中华人民的根，是中华民族的魂，是华夏儿女的骄傲。而有些人却为了金钱，为了个人利益而抛弃我们的骄傲。

我建议：人们可以组成环保小组，将长城上面的垃圾捡起来，放进口袋，并扔进垃圾箱。

我想对当地政府说：“我觉得你们应该在长城上放一些垃圾箱，还要严肃警告那些靠山吃山的村民和房地产商，如果他们不听就只有强行将他们的摊点和建筑物拆除了”。

我想对村民说：“你们还年轻，俗话说得好‘三百六十行，行行出状元’，你们应该用劳动来挣钱，这样也一定能赢得大家的赞赏”。

我想对房地产商说：“你们应该主动拆除自己的违法建筑，为旅游的人民创造一个良好环境”。

我想对旅游公司说：“安排一些优秀导游，为游客解说，为人民无私奉献”。

我想对游客说：“你们既然千里迢迢来到这里，就必然对长城有一份敬仰、一份崇拜，你们破坏长城，难道不感到惋惜内疚吗?”。

长城是劳动人民的血汗智慧凝结而成的世界文化遗产，“保护长城，人人有责;保护长城，从我做起”，让我们一起来保护长城吧!

Today is the 21stcentury, as the highly developed of technology, we

facilitate our life with all kinds of newly invented products, such as computer,

digital camera and so on. The technology products indeed brings us convenience,

the old way of doing things has been challenging. Before, people like to write

letters to say hi to others or send letters to give people information, while

today, people can use smart phone or computer to call others quickly, that saves

a lot of time. Does the way of writing letters will be kicked out and disappear?

Well, on my opinion, though people like to use the new technology, letter still

has its charm. Writing letters means someone is in sincere attitude, the one who

receives the letter will be touched deeply. Sometimes message is hard to use

phone to explain, then letters will be used. In a word, writing letter will be

not out of day.

I am a student in Huaxing Middle School. Do you know the plastic bags? Do you often use the plastic bags? I don’t like them. I think they use the wasting valuable oil their production. And they can’t decompose(分解) in a short time. The plastic bags will make our world worse. I agree with the rule, which people can’t get the free plastic bags in the shops, supermarkets. It encourages people to use their cloth bags and baskets. It’s good for our environment.

So I hope all the students in our class stop to use the plastic bags, and use our own cloth bags. I hope we can take care of our environment.

Let’s make our world more and more beautiful.

过得可好。上次你说你现在很焦虑因为你觉得很难学好英语。别担心。我觉得要提高英语你得一步步来。我会帮你的。在我看来，首先应该要培养你对英语的兴趣。根据我的经验，我认为看英文电影，听美妙的英文歌曲以及在互联网上与他人用英语交流会有很大的帮助。其次，你要预习，这样可以让你理解老师在课堂上说的东西。我知道你觉得上英语课很无聊，但你必须强迫自己聚精会神的听。一段时间后，你会感觉到学习英语变得容易些了。剩下的步骤下一次我会告诉你的。顺便提一下，自从一年前你们家搬到湖南后我们就没见过面。你有没有想过暑假的时候回来看看我，我们可以一起学习英语。期待你的回复。

客车，在萧瑟的北风中拐过一个转角，抬头望，天苍苍，野茫茫，阳光潇洒地洒在对面的山岗。黄土，杂草，那一条雄踞中国的长龙，映入眼帘。聚精会神，深青色的城墙，细数着岁月留给他们的伤痕，劲厉的山风掠过，肃然起敬，闭目，聆听着长城的呼唤。

下车，踏上长城的第一段台阶，握紧拳头，决心要走完这段长城路。一眼望去，长城好似一条匍匐的巨龙，匍匐在山岭上，似乎在等待腾飞的一刻。脚下，青石，古砖，岁月的沧桑如那些断垣残壁，在长城上留下的道道侵蚀。

踏上第二层阶梯，右手搭在古城墙上，一步两步，一步两步，一步一步在长城上攀登着。心中油然而生必胜的决心，我一定要攀登到顶。向下望去，嶙峋的山石是一位位老人，在冬阳里聆听着劲厉的山风。向远方望，杂草丛生的山丘，一片洪荒，没有人山人海的嘈杂，眺望远方，一时间，心灵只被山风与山丘触动，正想着，只见远处，一轮红红的冬日暖阳，爬上了对面的山岗。

我在山风中前进，长城的顶点离我越来越近，逐渐，腿上的酸痛越来越明显，脚下的台阶仿佛越来越陡峭，万里长城，此刻显得无比威严。停一停吧，我对自己说。才发现，身后，曾经我攀爬过的台阶原来是那么高耸。咬一咬牙，是回去，还是继续攀登?摸一摸酸痛的小腿，蓦地，师傅教给我的话在脑海中闪过：“你是一个男子汉，既然是，就应该有勇气，有责任。不应该为困难苦恼，不应该轻易放弃，你要努力，去寻找解决问题的方法。”嗯，不能放弃。登顶长城不就是我一直以来的梦想吗?既然来到了这里，怎么能就这样放弃?

整理好衣服，戴上手套，扶正帽子，我开始新一轮的攀登。青石蓝瓦，我扶着台阶，迈开步伐，爬着。冬阳在无云的天际上洒着光辉，山头有一个古寺，在阳光的抚摸下显得古朴庄重。耳边，除了几声若隐若现的鸟鸣，和劲厉的山风，便是巧妙的沉寂。那座古寺想必空了多年，影影约约的感受到了古刹的梵音，似波涛，似大海，似山，似云。催促着我前进，往后看，好朋友也赶上来了，一股暖流在心中涌动。握紧拳头，继续攀登，那座古寺，越来越清晰，心中有不可捉摸的东西在沸腾着，步伐铿锵有力，友谊推动我的前行。前方路漫漫，道路阻且长，我心依旧在，不畏两茫茫。青石，蓝瓦，老砖，古城。天很蓝，阳光很暖，我心坦然。

努力的时候总有伤痛，别害怕，那是你努力过的证明，是你实现梦想的符号。继续前进，迈开步伐，朝着更高点攀登。山风还是那个山风，我的脚步毅然铿锵，一步，一步，稳稳当当，踏踏实实，无所畏惧。青石，蓝瓦，长城，巨龙，在我的脚下。登上山顶，眺望远方，一轮红日，照亮前方。前路漫漫，去闯一闯，无所畏惧，路在前方。山风劲厉，我心坦荡。我实现了自己的梦想，何尝不是一种骄傲。

October 1st is the national day of our country, which is a public holiday for the whole country. It’s an important day that marks the beginning of PRC. On that day, there are plenty of celebrations holding throughout the country, from the central government to the general people. And public places, including big squares, parks are decorated in festive theme. In recent years, the national holiday means the golden week as well, which is a short holiday that all people expect to. With the improvement of living standards, people have more money and desire to travel and the golden week is a good chance for them. Besides, for those people who would not go out, it’s a good time to have a good rest as well. Therefore, the national day means a lot to the Chinese.

10月1日是我国的国庆节,这对于整个国家是一个公共假日。这是一个重要的日子,标志着中华人民共和国开始。在那一天,有很多庆祝控股全国,从中央政府到一般人。和公共场所,包括大广场,公园在节日的装饰主题。近年来,国家节日意味着黄金周,这是一个短暂的假期,所有的人都期待。随着生活水平的提高,人们有更多的钱和渴望旅游黄金周是一个很好的机会。除此之外,对于那些人不出去,这是一个很好的时间来好好休息一下。因此,中国的国庆节意味着很多。

长城——是我国列入世界遗产的景物之一，它是我们古代劳动人民用血汗和智慧换来的。它是我们中国的象征，也是我们中国的骄傲。

在以前，长城十分美丽，也十分壮观。瞧：一个个垛子，一个个射口，布置得是那么精细；外面的景色也十分好，一棵棵苍天大树，一片片碧绿的草坪，连成一片绿色的海洋；一座座城台也十分壮丽，如果你站在城台向远处眺望的话，你就会看到壮丽的景色，你还会感觉到自己十分清新明目！

可是，到了现在，长城原有的面貌，已经面目全非，不管在城墙上、垛子上、城台上，凡是游人能伸手能及之处，每块青砖上都被刻上了各种各样、许许多多的文字，有人名、地名“到此一游”，有中文、日文、朝鲜文，刻得密密麻麻，刻了字还不说，游人还在路上吃东西，把纸张、果皮、矿泉水瓶、塑料袋等扔在长城上，垃圾随处可见，而且《文物保护法》都没有明确规定要对扔垃圾的、刻字的进行罚款。可见中国人对保护文物的意识是这么差。

我们应该竭尽全力保护长城，我们应该做到以下几点：

一、我们可以从自己做起，从小事做起，做一个文明的游客。

二、我们可以让媒体曝光，让那些刻字者、乱扔垃圾者无地自容。

三、我们可以对刻字者和扔垃圾者进行罚款。

现在，让我们一起携手保护长城吧。

, the symbol of the Great Wall, the nations backbone, is to build the longest in the world, the largest country in the volume of military defense project. It together with the sweat and wisdom of our ancestors, is the pride of the Chinese people, but also the pride of the whole world.

The famous Great Wall, like a dragon, lithe winding, PAM fell on the earth. Its east of hebei shanhaiguan, west to jiayuguan in gansu province. Its vertical and horizontal hebei, Beijing, shanxi, Inner Mongolia, ningxia, shaanxi, gansu and other seven provinces and autonomous regions, and total length of 6700 km, therefore is called the "Great Wall".

The Great Wall has a long history, was founded in the spring and autumn period and the warring states period, more than 2000 years history. Since the qin dynasty, built the Great Wall has been a big project. According to records, qin shi huang use nearly millions labor to build the Great Wall, 1/20 of the population. There was no any mechanical, all labor by manpower, and the work environment is hills, cliff deep. As you can imagine, lots of people without hard work, is unable to complete the great project. Condensed the Great Wall of Chinas ancient working people of blood and sweat.

长城——中华的象征，民族的脊梁，是世界上修建时间最长，工程量最大的国家军事性防御工程。它凝聚着我们祖先的血汗和智慧，是中国人民的骄傲，也是整个世界的骄傲。

着名的万里长城，像一条矫健的巨龙，蜿蜒曲折，蟠伏在中华大地上。它东起河北省的山海关，西到甘肃省嘉峪关。它纵横河北、北京、山西、内蒙古、宁夏、陕西、甘肃等七个省市自治区，全长6700公里，因此被称为“万里长城”。

长城历史悠久，始建于春秋战国时期，历史达2000多年。自秦朝开始，修筑长城一直是一项大工程。据记载，秦始皇使用了近百万劳动力修筑长城，占全国人口的1/20!当时没有任何机械，全部劳动都得靠人力，而工作环境又是高山峻岭、峭壁深壑。可以想象，没有大量的人进行艰苦的劳动，是无法完成这项巨大工程的。长城凝聚了我国古代劳动人民的鲜血和汗水。

长城越群山，经绝壁，穿荒原，横瀚海，起伏在崇山峻岭之巅，黄河彼岸和渤海之滨。古今中外，凡到过长城的人无不惊叹它的雄伟气势、宏伟规模。长城犹如巍峨丰碑，屹立在地球上，屹立在世界人民心中。

万里长城，气势磅礴，雄伟壮丽，是中华民族的缩影，也是中华民族文明的象征，是人类历史上独一无二、举世无双的!

As the new bell tolled, the Chinese people exclaimed with excitement, "the New Year is here! New Year! Ah! What a wonderful New Year!

When I ran to the balcony, all of a sudden, the fireworks fly on the sky, in a flash, Fried opened, and some like countless meteor, some like colorful flowers, some like golden coat, and like the golden sun, the earth was like the day. How beautiful!

Environmental protection is a big project, but we can start from around things, do a lot of things to protect the environment.

Our paper every day, do you know the paper is how to? Is made of trees to make paper. Every year around the world to cut down many trees to make paper. I have seen a special TV, save 1500 sheets of paper, you can leave a big tree. The tree is our good friend, it can turn carbon dioxide into oxygen, can reduce the noise, can block the sand, can prevent water loss and soil erosion... Starts from me, saving every piece of paper, children all over the world can save a lot of a lot of paper, you can retain a lot of trees, you can leave a big forest, desert, less and less, more and more pure and fresh air, green more and more. How I wish my hometown mountain more green, and blue, the water environment of our lives forever charactizing a fine spring day.

We used in battery life; it contains lead, if throw it carelessly, section 1 waste batteries can lose one square metre of soil utilization value forever. In many countries, many areas have carried out recycling of waste batteries. In Germany, to buy a new battery, used batteries must be pay back. So, we should to find a "home" for waste batteries. I hope we panzhihua environmental protection departments also set up waste battery recycling. Thoroughly protect the soil so that it can always grow crops.

Save a piece of paper, recycling waste battery section... Although we do is small, but it made great contribution for environmental protection. I hope my classmates from now on, all to do an environmental small guards. There is only one earth, we have to take care of it.

环保是一个很大的工程，但我们可以从身边的小事做起，为保护环境做很多事。

我们每天都要用纸，你知道纸张是怎么来的吗?是用大树来造纸的。全世界每年都要砍掉很多树来造纸。我看过一个专题电视，节约1500张纸，就可以保留一棵大树。大树是我们的好朋友，它可以把二氧化碳变为氧气，可以降低噪音，可以挡住风沙，可以防止水土流失……从我做起，节约每一张纸，全世界的小朋友可以节约很多很多纸，就可以保留很多很多大树，就可以留下一片大森林，沙漠越来越少，空气越来越清新，绿色越来越多。我多希望我的家乡山更青、水更绿，我们生活的环境永远鸟语花香。

我们生活中用到的电池，它含有铅，如果把它随手乱扔，1节废电池可以使一平方米的土壤失去永远的利用价值。很多国家、很多地区都开展了废电池的回收。在德国，购买新电池的时候，必须将废旧电池交回来。所以，我们应该给给废电池找个“家”。我希望我们攀枝花的环保部门也设立废旧电池回收站。好好的保护土壤，让它可以永远长出庄稼。

节约一张纸、回收一节废旧电池……我们做的虽然是小事，但却为环保做了大贡献。我希望我的同学们从现在开始，都来做一个环保小卫士。地球只有一个，我们都要好好爱护它。

In fact, environmental pollution is a very serious problem the whole world is facing.

it is mainly caused by the waste products released from artificial substances, industrial production and increased consumption of goods. Bedsides, the use of chemical substances in agriculture also causes environmental pollution. Look at the sky, you can see that dense smoke is being released from the high and big chimneys; those dirty and poisonous substances are flowing into the rivers that we use for drinking water and millions of tons of waste products are heaping around us.

How to change this condition?More and more countries are trying to work out some effective means to bring it under control, but no great success has been made.

Girls at a training course offered by the "Care for Girls" program in

Qingjian county, Shaanxi province, talked about their pursuit of dreams despite

living in unfavorable conditions.

Initiated by the National Health and Family Planning commission in 2013,

the program helps girls in underdeveloped regions to build their self-esteem and

self-confidence.

"I want to be a teacher teaching Chinese because I like Chinese and

writing," Xi said. "By teaching I can not only share knowledge with my students,

but also keep learning new things from new versions of textbooks."

She is living with her mother in a room that has no bathroom and costs 300

yuan ($48) a month to rent. Merit certificates she received from school are

displayed on the wall. Yan Lingling, Xis mother, said she is proud of her

daughter.

According to the family planning policy, couples in which both the husband

and wife have rural residential permits can have another child if their first is

a daughter. Yan said she isnt planning on adding to the family because she

wants to give her daughter the best she has.

"My husband is away most of the time, working in construction sites and

making no more than 30,000 yuan ($4,840) a year. I work as an hourly worker

sometimes. The rent of our apartment is expensive. One more child means one more

burden," Yan said.

Speaking about how she plans to achieve her dream of becoming a teacher, Xi

said: "I will not give up on my dream easily, though I know it may be difficult.

When something becomes difficult, it only makes me want to try harder."

We couldnt believe that it was a village. The buildings for the farmers were very beautiful, the streets were very clean and there were many flowers in front of the houses. In the middle of the village there was a school with a wonderful building and a large playground. All the children in the village study there.

The farmers got richer by planting vegetables and raising silkworms. In their houses there were colour TV sets, fridges,washing machines, new furniture and even motorbikes. All these showed the farmers life was getting better and better.

The great changes had attracted foreigners. Today some of them would come to visit it. We were happy for the farmers. We hope the farmers will be richer and happier.

We are always educated to be an honest person, especially to our parents. While the fact is that every kid will lie to their parents in their lives. For me, my parents are very strict, I am not allowed to go out at night, because the news always reports the bad incidents happen at night. But night activity attracts me a lot, and my friends like to hang out for fun at night, so I choose to lie to my parents and tell them I am doing my homework with my friends. Now as I grow up, I realize it is not right to tell lies, so I decide to be honest to my parents. Once they realize that I am not a little kid anymore, then I will have my right to do what I want.
