WHY SHOULD WE STUDY ENGLISH 为什么我们要学习英文

If you want to ask me why we should study study English,my answer will be simple and clear. Now let me enumerate the reasons one by one in the following. In the first place, English has become an international language. If you know English, you can make a trip round the world without being misunderstood.

In the second place, most valuable books, newspapers and magazines are written in English. If you wish (hope) to get knowledge, you must learn English.

如果你要问我们为什么要学英语,我的答案很简单明了。现在让我来把我的理由一一列举在下面:英语已经成为一种国际语言,如果你通晓它,你可以环游世界不被人误解。大多数有价值的书籍,报纸和杂志都是用英文写的。如果你希望获得知识,你必须学习英语。

MY BIRTHDAY 我的生日

Yesterday was my birthday, so some of my classmates sent me presents. Mother prepared a tea party for me. I invited all of them to come and take part in it.

The tea party began at half past six. There were cold drinks and refreshments. We ate,talked and laughed. We felt that we were the happiest men in the world.

Time passed quickly. In a twinkling, the clock on the wall struck nine. We could not but say “Good-bye” to one another.

昨天是我生日,所以有几位我的同班同学送我礼物。母亲给我准备了一个茶会。我邀请他们前来参加。

茶会下午六点半开始,有冷饮和点心,我们又吃又谈又笑。我们觉得是世界上最快乐的人。

时间过得很快,转瞬间,墙上的钟敲九点了,我们不得不互道再见。

HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY 诚为上策

There is an English proverb which says (saying) “Honesty is the best policy.” It signifies the importance of honesty.

What are the benefits of honesty? If you are honest to others, they will be honest to you in return, when you are sad, they will comfort you. When you are in trouble, they will help you.

There is no enumerating the evils of dishonesty here. In a word, a dishonest man will be looked down upon by others and (be) regarded as a public enemy.

英国有一句谚语说“诚为上策”。它说明了诚的重要性。

诚的益处是什么?如果你对他人诚实,他们也会对你诚实作为报答。当你忧伤的时候,他们会安慰你。当你处在困境中的时候,他们会帮助你。

无法在这里数述不诚实的害处。一言以蔽之,一个不诚实的人会被人看轻的而且被看做一个公敌。

INDUSTRY (DILIGENCE) 勤勉

It is a matter of course that industry will bring us success, wealth and good luck. I am sure that a hard-working person can always succeed in the work which he wants to do. This is unchangeable truth.

Idleness is the opposite of industry. It is the source of all evil. An idle man only enjoys

playing and making pleasures. That he is doomed to failure is of no doubt. We should not follow his example.

勤勉会带给我们成功、财富和好运是理所当然的事情。我确信一个苦干的人终是能够成功的人,这是一个无法改变的定理。

懒惰是勤勉的反面,它是万恶之源。一个懒惰的人只享受玩耍和寻乐,他命中注定失败是毫无疑问的,我们不应把他作为榜样。

GOOD HEALTH 良好的健康

We all wish (hope) to be happy, so we should take good care of our health. Health is the best treasure (which) a man can possess. Money can do many things, but it cannot buy health. However, so long as man has good health, he can enjoy the pleasures of human life.

In order to insure good health we must pay attention to three things. They are-nourishing food, fresh air and proper exercise.

我们大家都希望快乐,所以我们应该注重健康。

健康是一个人所能拥有的最好的财富。钱能做很多事情,但是它却买不来健康。然而,只要一个人有良好的健康,他就能享受人生的乐趣。

为了保证良好的健康,我们必须注意三件事情,它们是营养的食物,新鲜的空气和适量的运动。

MONEY 钱

Everybody wishes (hopes) to get money so that he can maintain his livelihood. In other words, money is so usefully that it is impossible for mankind to live without it. For this reason, we have an interesting proverb. It says “Money can make the world go around.” In a word, money is more powerful than anything else.

However, money should not be wasted. It must be used for (some) proper purposes. We young men should form the good habit of not spending money in the wrong way. 每个人为了能够维持生活,所以都希望得到钱。换句话说,钱是非常有用,所以没有它人类就无法生活。基于此种理由,我们有一句有趣的谚语“有钱能使鬼推磨”。一言以蔽之,钱比任何东西都更有力量。

然而,钱不应该被浪费掉。它必须用于正当的用途上。我们年轻人应该养成不乱花钱的习惯。

CHOOSING FRIENDS 选择朋友

A man who is careful in choosing friends will certainly derive benefit from them. Why? Because there are more false friends than real ones. Friends who flatter you to your face are not true friends.

We must make friends with those who have good character and kindness of heart. On the other hand, we should do our best to avoid keeping company with bad people.

一个小心选择朋友的人一定会从他们那里获得益处。为什么?因为在这个世界上假朋友比真朋友要多,有一个真正的朋友要比一百个假朋友好得多。凡是当面奉承你的朋友都不是真正的朋友。

我们必须和凡是具有良好品格和心地善良的人交朋友。反过来说,我们应尽力避免结交坏人。

THRIFT 节俭

There is not a (no) thrifty man but becomes a rich man sooner or later.

Why? Because he will not spend such money as is unnecessary. Little by little his money will accumulate. Ten to one,he is bound to make a fortune. I do not like such men as spend their money in a wrong way. They do not know extravagance is a bad thing. It can only make them happy for the time being. In short, thrift makes poor men rich and extravagance makes rich men poor.

没有一个节俭的人迟早不成为一个富翁。为什么?因为他决不花不必要花的钱。渐渐他的钱就会聚集起来。十之八九,他一定会发财的。

我不喜欢那种乱花钱的人。他们不知道奢侈是件坏事。它只能够使他们暂时快乐而已。总而言之,节俭使穷人变富,奢侈使富人变穷。

WHERE THERE IS A WILL,THERE IS A WAY 有志者事竟成

The secret of success (The key to success) is not so much money as a strong will. A great man is one who has a strong will and an indomitable spirit. In other words, if a man does not have a strong will to win(get) the final victory, he will never succeed in his life. He is no more than a failure. It is quite obvious that there is no difficult thing(nothing difficult) in the world. If you make up your mind to do it, you will certainly accomplish your end. That stands to reason.

成功的要诀不是金钱而是一个坚强的意志(用not so much…as)。一个大人物是一个具有坚强意志和不屈不挠精神的人。换句话说,如果一个人没有坚强意志去获得最后胜利的人,他终其一生永远不会成功。他只不过是(no more than)一个失败者。

THE VALUE OF TIME 爱惜时光

An English proberb says that time is money. I consider it wrong. Why? Because we all know that we can earn money by work but can not in any way get back time(in anyway). For this reason, we may(can) say that time is more valuable than money. Many people do not know the value of time. It(this) is indeed a great pity. We must bear(keep) in mind that wasting time is equal towasting your life.

英国有句谚语说,时间就是金钱。我认为这是不对的。为什么?因为我们大家都知道我们能够用工作赚钱,但无论如何都无法把时间争取回来。基于此种理由,我们可以说时间比金钱更珍贵。

许多人不爱惜时光,这确实是可惜的,我们必须记住浪费时间等于浪费生命。

HOW EXERISE HELPS 运动的利益

If our bodies are not strong, our spirit to do things will certainly be quite dull. And at the same time, we are lack of energy(ies) to study.

Diseases will only attack the weak, but not the strong.

Why are our bodies not strong? Because we do not pay attention to exercise. For this reason, we students must often take different kinds(sorts) of exercise in the gym. Exercise helps us(to) strengthen our bodies and avoid disease. It also teaches us cooperation, for most exercise is played by team.

2018考研英语作文模板必背20篇:大作文(3)

2018考研英语作文模板必背20篇:大作文(3) As is shown in the picture, on arriving at the finishing line of a race on the playground, the lovely young man has to continue his new journey in no time instead of stopping to take a rest. He has successfully settled the puzzle of “stopping or going on” which might have confused many others. With the increasing pace of modern life, perhaps no change has characterized the past decade more dramatically than that of people's view on their own life. It is generally agreed upon that people have to adjust themselves to this new change. On the one hand, no doubt, people will gain a lot by setting new goals in their daily life. Take the famous scientist Thomas Edison for example. He had done very well in his early life, but continued to pursue something more difficult all through his life. On the other hand, if one is obsessed with the success he has achieved, he would lose the chance to pursue new success. What is more, he may become the slave of his success. There are many cases showing that people lose their courage to better themselves after becoming successful. To sum up, one's view on his success determines his future. In my opinion, it is necessary to carry out a nation-wide campaign publicizing people who have a burning desire for more and ever greater achievement when they are already well-known. So that people in the society will develop a forward-looking attitude and make their life worth living and the world more beautiful as well. 以上是中公考研为大家准备整理的2018考研英语作文模板必背20篇:大作文(3)的内容。中公考研提醒大家2018考研招生简章、2018考研招生目录、2018考研参考书目以及2018考研大纲已陆续公布,中公考研将为大家及时提供相关资讯。另外,为了帮助考生更 好地复习,中公考研为广大学子推出2018考研VIP1对1、秋季集训营、保研课程系列备考专题,针对每一个科目要点进行深入的指导分析,还会根据每年的考研大纲进行针对性的分析哦~欢迎各位考生了解咨询。同时,中公考研一直为大家推出考研直播课堂,足不出户就可以边听课边学习,为大家的考研梦想助力!

高中英语背诵40篇短文记住高考3500个单词十(非常实用) 1.Explore MKII 探测MKII行星 MKII, a planet billion s of kilometers away, is the origin of life in many religion s. Physicist s have proved the theory that its gentle climate and the pull of its gravity are similar to the earth’s. A nd astronomer s have found that oxygen atom s and carbon dioxide, which are fundamental to life, exist in its atmosphere through satellite s. Cheer ed up by this news, biologist s, in their turn, began to do some research to remove people’s puzzle s—Now that there are some suitable conditions, does life really exist on this globe? Do they multiply by lay ing eggs or giving birth to babies? Last month, a spaceship was sent there. It’s a pity that this mission failed. Unlike the earth, MKII is a much younger planet. Thus, mass es of harmful acid clouds float everywhere causing violent chain reactions to break out. These clouds not only block ed out the pilots’ sight but also damaged the engine system. Luckily, the pilots watch ed out carefully and prevent ed the spaceship from crash ing in time. MK二号是一颗几十亿公里外的行星,它在许多宗教里都是生命起源的地方。物理学家已经证明了它温和的气候和重力的牵引都和地球相似的理论;天文学家也通过卫星,在它的大气层里发现了氧原子和二氧化碳的存在,这些都是对生命来说,都是基本的。受到这一消息的鼓舞,生物学家们接着开始了研究以解开人们的迷惑——既然有了适合的条件,生命真的存在于这个星球吗?他们是通过下蛋,还是产仔来繁殖后代的呢? 上个月,一艘太空飞船被派到了那儿。可惜的是,这次任务失败了。不像地球,MK二号是一颗年轻得多的行星。因此,大团大团的有害酸云到处漂浮,引起猛烈的连锁反应的爆发。这些云团不仅阻挡了飞行员的视线,而且还损坏了发动机系统。幸运的是,飞行员小心注意,才及时阻止了飞船的坠毁。

适合高中生背诵的经典英语短文

The Force of Habits Habits, whether good or bad, are gradually formed. The more we do a thing, the more we tend to like doing it; and if we do not continue to do it, we feel uncomfortable. This is called the force of habits, and the force of habits should be fought against. This applies even to such good things as work or rest. Some people form a bad habit of working too much, and others of idling too much. Bad habits, once formed, are difficult to get rid of. The wise man always remembers to check any bad habit. He warns himself “I am now becoming idle” or “I like too many sweets” or “I smoke too much”. And then adds, “I will get myself out of this bad habit at once.” The Way to Achieve Success Many people say that they owe much of it to the cultivation of certain good habits in early life. In forming good habits, I think we should pay attention to four things, that is honesty, industry, enthusiasm and thrift. “Honesty is the best policy.” This is a proverb to which we must pay attention. There are so many temptations in society that through a little carelessness we may go astray. But when we are honest, people will not be dishonest to us. Industry gives every man and woman, every boy and girl, proper work to do. To do nothing is going to ruin oneself. Enth usiasm is a great force. One’s soul will expand if one devotes oneself to a noble cause. The difficulties in our way are tremendous, but what can we not accomplish, if with enthusiasm }

新概念优美背诵短文50篇unit13 Skyscrapers and Environment

新概念优美背诵短文50篇unit13 Skyscrapers and Environment >13 Skyscrapers2 and Environment In the late 1960's, many people in North America turned their attention to environmental problems, and new steel-and-glass skyscrapers were widely criticized. Ecologists pointed3 out that a cluster of tall buildings in a city often overburdens public transportation and parking lot capacities. Skyscrapers are also lavish4 consumers, and wasters, of electric power. In one recent year, the addition of 17 million square feet of skyscraper1 office space in New York City raised the peak daily demand for electricity by 120, 000 kilowatts5 -- enough to supply the entire city of Albany, New York, for a day. Glass-walled skyscrapers can be especially wasteful6. The heat loss (or gain) through a wall of half-inch plate glass is more than ten times that through a typical masonry7 wall filled with insulation8 board. To lessen9 the strain on heating and air-conditioning equipment, builders of skyscrapers have begun to use double-glazed panels of glass, and reflective glasses coated with silver or gold mirror films that reduce glare as well as heat gain. However, mirror-walled skyscrapers raise the temperature of the surrounding air and affect neighboring buildings. Skyscrapers put a severe strain on a city's sanitation10 facilities, too. If fully11 occupied, the two World Trade Center towers in New York City would alone generate 2.25

新东方背诵50篇英文美文

01 The Language of Music A pain ter hangs his or her fini shed pictures on a wall, and every one can see it. A composer writes a work, but no one can hear it un til it is performed. Professi on al sin gers and players have great responsibilities, for the composer is utterly dependent on them. A student of music needs as long and as arduous a training to become a performer as a medical stude nt n eeds to become a doctor. Most training is concerned with technique, for musicians have to have the muscular proficiency of an athlete or a ballet dan cer. Sin gers practice breathi ng every day, as their vocal chords would be in adequate without con trolled muscular support. String players practice moving the fin gers of the left hand up and down, while drawing the bow to and fro with the right arm —two entirely different moveme nts. Sin gers and in strume nts have to be able to get every n ote perfectly in tune. Pia ni sts are spared this particular an xiety, for the no tes are already there, wait ing for them, and it is the pia no tun er s responsibility to tune the instrument for them. But they have their own difficulties; the hammers that hit the stri ng have to be coaxed not to sound like percussi on, and each overlapp ing tone has to sound clear. This problem of gett ing clear texture is one that confronts stude nt con ductors: they have to learn to know every note of the music and how it should sound, and they have to aim at con trolli ng these sound with fanatical but selfless authority. Tech nique is of no use uni ess it is comb ined with musical kno wledge and un dersta nding. Great artists are those who are so thoroughly at home in the Ianguage of music that they can enjoy perform ing works writte n in any cen tury. 02 Schooling and Education It is commonly believed in United States that school is where people go to get an education. Nevertheless, it has been said that today children interrupt their education to go to school. The distinction between schooling and education implied by this remark is important. Educati on is much more ope n-en ded and all-i nclusive tha n schooli ng. Educati on knows no boun ds. It can take place any where, whether in the shower or in the job, whether in a kitche n or on a tractor. It in cludes both the formal lear ning that takes place in schools and the whole uni verse of in formal learning. The agents of education can range from a revered grandparent to the people debating politics on the radio, from a child to a distinguished scientist. Whereas schooling has a certain predictability, educati on quite ofte n produces surprises. A cha nee con versati on with a stra nger may lead a pers on to discover how little is known of other religi ons. People are en gaged in educati on from infancy on. Education, then, is a very broad, inclusive term. It is a lifelong process, a process that starts long before the start of school, and one that should be an in tegral part of one Schooling, on the other hand, is a specific, formalized process, whose general pattern varies little from one setting to the next. Throughout a country, children arrive at school at approximately the same time, take assigned seats, are taught by an adult, use similar textbooks, do homework, take exams, and so on. The slices of reality that are to be lear ned, whether they are the alphabet or an un dersta nding of the work ing of
