+ 加入清单With the development ofscience and technology ,different kinds of pollution has been produced andcaused global concern recently.
As we know, people have beenliving on the earth for thousands of years, human activity damaged natural environment, such as excessive abuse of natural resources ,the sewage dischargedfrom factories ,the animal slaughter ,kinds of chemical fertilizers andgreen-house effect. All that is mentioned above has a bad impact on the eco-system .Now, many animals aredying out. We are suffering from unhealthy food and water, we are faced withharmful rays and global warming. It was ourselves who had made a series oftroubles. As you can see, we are the final victim.
Above all, if we human beings cannot recognize theseserious problems and try our best to solve them soon, we would finally lose theenvironment suitable for us to live. So, it is our duty to protect theenvironment ,but what should we do to protect it?
In my opinion, the first and important thing is tounite all forces ,that is to say---gather all hearts together. Next we shouldprotect and plant more trees, which can dispose of the dust in the air. As forfamilies, it is effective to ride bicycles rather than drive cars. Don’t litteranywhere as you like. In addition, sorting and recycling the rubbish also playan essential role in the protection of our earth. We’d better call on everyone aroundus to lead a low-carbon life, as it may make a difference to the environment.
Thus, it’s high time that we did something to improveour surroundings. Everybody should raise the awareness to protect our motherearth. Let’s appeal to more people to join us.
All in all ,there’s no doubt that keeping the balanceof human and nature ,we will benefit a lot.

+ 加入清单Before we go to school, we get our parents to supervise us all the time, so we live in a very safe environment.
While when we go to school, parents can’t keep their eyes on us all the time, they are so worried about us, so they begin to tell us how to keep ourselves safe.
The most important thing is that don’t talk to strangers, as a teenager, we haven’t had the ability to judge who is the good guy and who is the bad guy, so it is better not to talk to the strangers.
The bad guys will like to talk to the teenagers, they want to do something to pay the teenagers’ attention, thus they can induce the children to go with them and do the bad thing.
In order to protect teenagers’ security, teenagers are taught to keep distant from the stranger.
在我们上学前,我们一直有父母的照看,所以我们生长在一个很安全的环境。然而当我们上学以后,父母不能一直监视着我们,他们很担心我们,因此他们开始教导我们如何保持自身的安全。
最重要的事情就是不要和陌生人说话,作为一名青少年,我们还没有能力去判断好人和坏人,所以最好不要和陌生人讲话。
坏人会喜欢和青少年聊天,他们想要做一些事情来吸引青少年的注意,以此来引诱青少年跟他们走,做坏事。
为了保护青少年的安全,青少年应该和陌生人保持距离。

全文共 1242 字
+ 加入清单Which is better, shopping online or traditional shopping? Different people have different attitudes towards it. Some people think that online shopping is very convenient, for it can save them a lot of time and energy. It’s especially helpful for those who are always busy with their work. Besides, through the internet, they can get more information about the commodities they want to buy and buy a lot of things that cannot be bought in local places.
网上购物还是传统购物,那种方式更好呢?每个人对这事的看法都不一样。有些人认为网购十分方便,因为这种方式可以节省许多的时间和精力。特别是对那些工作十分繁忙的人来说,网购帮了大忙。此外,通过网络他们可以知道关于他们想购买的产品的信息,还能卖到当地没有卖的商品。
Nevertheless, I’m not keen on online shopping at all, since most commodities which are bought online are of poor quality. Once we are cheated, we may find it difficult to make a complaint. Thus we should take more cautions when shopping online.
尽管如此,我还是不太热衷于网购,因为大多数我们网购而来的产品的质量劣质。一旦我们上当受骗,我们会发现我们无处投诉。因此我们网购时要非常的谨慎。
In my eyes, I prefer traditional shopping, because I can choose what I really need. Also, I can know the quality of every commodity more clearly. Even if there’s something wrong with the commodities, I can still ask the sellers to compensate for my loss.
在我看来,我更喜欢普通的购物方式,因为我只需要选购我所需要的,而且我还能很清楚的知道商品的质量如何。假如我买的东西出现问题,我还能让卖家赔偿我的损失。

篇11:莫忘感恩高中作文800字
全文共 860 字
+ 加入清单从小到大,不记得有多少次提到过“感恩”的话题,可我每次都不以为是。曾经,在一篇文章中看到有这么一句话:“在云淡风轻的日子里,一切都那么惬意,那么温馨。牵着你们的手,我一路向前,什么都不怕。有时,我嫣然回首,才发现世上最重要的是有你们在身边。感谢你们———我的父亲,我的母亲。”读到这段话,不由心头一动,回头想起父母在身边的日子。
当我得了奖励,得意洋洋的时候,你们在我身边,告诉我不要骄傲自满;当我为人情所伤时,你们在我的身边,鼓励我,告诉我用心去对待每个人;当我在幻想未来时,你们却告诉我,孩子,未来并非一切海阔天空。有人说:真感情无需感恩。于是我去掉了话语中常挂在嘴边的谢谢,故意装着对你们的爱视而不见,我认为这就是独立,这是长大,这是成熟,这才是坚强,可是你们却一如既往的对我关爱备至。也许在你们心里女儿怎么如此的不懂事?其实不是,其实在学校里,我学会了感谢友谊,学会了感谢老师,学会了感谢社会,我的梦里都充满了美好。也许我忘了什么,但我并不在意过。直到有一天,星期五放学回家,父亲不知怎么了,蹲在地上,手捂着肚子,看见我眼里充满了不自然,他迅速站起来,我赶紧上前扶他,我注视到父亲微白的双鬓,深深刻在脸上的皱纹黑红苍老的脸,心里面起一点酸酸的感觉:父亲为了我,含辛茹苦,而我?
那天,我小心翼翼地扶父亲上床休息,给他倒了一杯水。父亲的眼里充满了欣喜,刹那间,好像有什么东西揪住了我的心,有什么东西开始苏醒了。此后,我发现了每周双休日的饭菜格外的丰富,爸妈说话格外的小心,我知道,是因为我在复习迎中考。
曾经,母亲与父亲相守在一起,自从有了我和妹妹,他们把全部的心血都放到了我们的身上,我们在父母的呵护中成长,父母却在我们的视线中渐渐老去。原来,我曾经遗漏过生命中那么多令人感动的时刻,我是那飘浮在空中的云朵,父母亲的爱就是天空,没有天空,怎么会有白云的自在飘逸?到现在我才明白!朋友啊,请回头注视你的父母吧!记住那些欢乐的日子,更要相信,父母是世间最爱你的人,可是他们会慢慢的老去……莫忘感恩,“爱”需要我们的表达……

篇16:在感恩中成长高中作文
全文共 834 字
+ 加入清单鲜花感恩雨露,是因为雨露滋润了它干涸的心田;苍鹰感恩蓝天,是因为蓝天使苍鹰自由的飞翔;高山感恩大地,是因为大地凸显了它的高耸;鱼儿感恩湖泊,是因为湖泊赐予了它们生活的空间;万物感恩着世界,是因为世界赋予了我们所拥有的一切。
在幼时的我的心里,感恩是一个十分抽象的词语,就像爱一样,朦胧得使人无法捉摸、看清。因此,我一直心安理得的接受着父母的宠爱,而不给予知恩回报。
渐渐长大,听熟了老师口中的“要学会感恩”,在心中便对感恩形成了一个大致的概念,那大概是一种很温暖的感觉,像冬天里喝下暖暖的热茶,温馨得令人深深陷入深思的画册,暖暖的让人颇感心安的电影。
曾经看过一篇悲伤却很温暖的故事,官员慕名来到一家野外饭店,挑选了一只最大的穿山*,饭店的员工按照以往的方式将穿山*狠狠的向地上砸去,想让它将躯体张开,但连摔了几下,穿山*却越缩越紧。最后,当他们放弃这只穿山*并宰杀了其他几只后,发现在穿山*摊平的肚皮上,蠕动着一只小小的穿山*,它还那么小,脐带仍与母亲相连,浑身都粉红透明,刚刚出生的它,就这样失去了最亲爱的妈妈。
每次忆起这个故事都会让我的眼眶湿润,就会想起“5?12”时那位母亲写给自己孩子的短信——“心爱的宝贝,如果你能活着,一定要记住我爱你!”他们是那么的不幸,同时又是那么的幸运,他们拥有世界上最伟大的母亲、最动人的母爱。我深信,长大后的他们心中一定满载着感动,洋溢着感恩。
但是现实中的我们从不曾经历过如此轰轰烈烈的母爱,自然也不会怀着一颗感恩的心,任性的想着父母所给予的一切都是理所当然、天经地义,从不去感动,从不付出回报。
但你是否看到了每天早上父母为你所准备的早餐,是否看到了每天放学时父母那期盼的目光;还有你考试失败时他们鼓励你的神情,以及他们渐渐老去的容颜与夹杂着几缕隐私的头发。
不要在失去时才懂得珍惜,不要在离别时才后悔莫及。乌鸦反哺父母,因为它懂得感恩;羊羔跪乳觅食,因为它懂得感恩。让我们拥有一颗感恩的心,在感恩中逐渐茁壮成长。

伴随着母校校庆的佳音姗姗而来,记忆的红线牵到了那个葱郁的夏季。
20**年的九月,我背着沉重的书包来到了这个陌生的地方——实验中学。我对她充满了敬畏。敬的是她的宽厚博大的胸怀,畏的是担心自己不能成为她优秀的孩子。所以,从踏进校园,我就发誓:我要扬起自信的风帆,不畏惧生活中的每一个挑战,奋发向上,坚持不懈地努力,在这片美丽又神圣的土地上闯出自己的天地。
于是,我荡起双浆,在雷鸣中起航,在风雨中前进,开始了向知识海洋的挑战。365个日日夜夜,我付出全身的力气搏击在充满精英的人海中。遇到再大的风险,再大的浪潮我也决不后退。学习是一部书,决心是它的开头,信心是它的升华,恒心是它的主旨。每个太阳跳出地平线的晨曦,伴着清脆的铃声,我开始了新一天地拼搏。学习是张纸,美丽的色彩只能靠自己增添描绘。我从校园中采撷每一种色彩,精心描绘着我的青春图画。我在母校地怀抱中生活、成长,紧紧地依偎着她,感受着她心脉地跳动,苍劲有力,像颗壮士的心永不衰竭。
孤独寂寞时,我会独自漫步校园的每一个角落。红的花是少男少女火热的情怀;绿的叶,是青春年代蓬勃的朝气。还有那软茸茸的杨絮,是懈怠不前时最温柔地敬告。黄昏时分,坐在花坛旁,聆听花与草的悄悄话,享受风的爱抚,便感到我是天下最幸福的公主。
我喜欢这里的景,每时每刻都给人以灵感,给人以向前的动力。我更喜欢这里的人。在众多老师的指引下,我不断进步,时刻都以昂扬的状态迎接生活的“馈赠。”在失败彷徨时,老师会耐心地教导我。是他们时而严厉,时而亲切的面容让我不再徘徊,他们的爱让我一次次战胜挫折,勇敢面对每一道坎坷。我曾经抱怨过老师的责备,恨过老师横眉冷对的表情,但今天看来,其实那是份特殊的爱,那跃动的光芒如破云而出的金色阳光。是老师让我明白“这秒不绝望,下一秒就有希望。”在每一位老师身上,彰显着“严谨博学、文明健美、团结勤奋、求实创新”的魅力,也正是这种人性美让我更加热爱学习,热爱生活。
感谢母校,感谢母校三年来对我的辛勤培育,感谢敬爱的老师对我的谆谆教诲,感谢同窗好友对我的悉心照顾。实验中学,我的母校,愿你永远青春,永远美丽!

全文共 1687 字
+ 加入清单Once, when I was a teenager, my father and I were standing in line to buy tickets for the circus. Finally, there was only one family between us and the ticket counter.
This family made a big impression on me. There were eight children, all probably under the age of 12. You could tell they didnt have a lot of money.
Their clothes were not expensive, but they were clean. The children were well-behaved, all of them standing in line, two-by-two behind their parents, holding hands. They were excitedly jabbering about the clowns, elephants, and other acts they would see that night.
One could sense they had never been to the circus before. It promised to be a highlight of their young lives. The father and mother were at the head of the pack, standing proud as could be.
The mother was holding her husbands hand, looking up at him as if to say, "Youre my knight in shining armor."
He was smiling and basking in pride, looking back at her as if to reply, "You got that right."
The ticket lady asked the father how many tickets he wanted. He proudly responded, "Please let me buy eight childrens tickets and two adult tickets so I can take my family to the circus."
The ticket lady quoted the price. The mans wife let go of his hand, her head dropped, and his lip began to quiver. The father leaned a little closer and asked, "How much did you say?"
The ticket lady again quoted the price. The man didnt have enough money.
How was he supposed to turn and tell his eight kids that he didn‘t have enough money to take them to the circus? Seeing what was going on, my dad put his hand in his pocket, pulled out a $20 bill and dropped it on the ground. (We were not wealthy in any sense of the word!)
