懒惰是很奇怪的东西,它使你以为那是安逸,是休息,是福气;但实际上它所给你的是无聊,是倦怠,是消沉;它剥夺你对前途的希望,割断你和别人之间的友情,使你心胸日渐狭窄,对人生也越来越怀疑。

英语经典晨读美文1
It happened in one of those picturesque Danish taverns that cater to tourists and where English is spoken. I was with my father on a business-and-pleasure trip, and in our leisure hours we were having a wonderful time. “It's a pity your mother couldn't come,” said Father. “It would be wonderful to show her around.”
He had visited Denmark when he was a young man. I asked him, “How long is it since you were here?”
“Oh, about 30 years. I remember being in this very inn, by the way.” He looked around, remembering. “Those were gracious days-” He stopped suddenly, and I saw that his face was pale. I followed his eyes and looked across the room to a woman who was setting a tray of drinks before some customers. She might have been pretty once, but now she was stout and her hair was untidy. “Do you know her?” I asked. “I did once,” he said.
The woman came to our table. “Drinks?” she inquired. “We'll have beer,” I said. She nodded and went away. “How she has changed! Thank heaven she didn't recognize me,” muttered Father mopping his face with a handkerchief. “I knew her before I ever met your mother, ”he went on. “I was a student, on a tour. She was a lovely young thing, very graceful. I fell madly in live with her, and she with me.”
“Does Mother know about her?” I blurted out, resentfully. “Of course,” Father said gently. He looked at me a little anxiously. I felt embarrassed for him. I said, “Dad, you don't have to-”
“Oh, yes, I want to tell you. I don't want you wondering about this. Her father objected to our romance. I was a foreigner. I had no prospects, and was dependent on my father. When I wrote Father that I wanted to get married he cut off my allowance. And I had to go home. But I met the girl once more, and told her I would return to America, borrow enough money to get married on, and come back for her in a few months.”
“We know,” he continued, “that her father might intercept a letter, so we agreed that I would simply mail her a slip of paper with a date on it, the time she was to meet me at a certain place; then we'd married. Well, I went home, got the loan and sent her the date. She received the note. She wrote me:” I'll be there.“ But she wasn't. Then I found that she had been married about two weeks before, to a local innkeeper. She hadn't waited.”
Then my father said,“ Thank God she didn't. I went home, met your mother, and we've been completely happy. We often joke about that youthful love romance.” The woman appeared with our beer. “You are from America?” she asked me. “Yes,” I said.
She beamed. “A wonderful country, America.”
“Yes, a lot of your countrymen have gone there. Did you ever think of it?”
“Not me. Not now,” she said. “I think so one time, a ling time ago. But I stay here. It much better here.”
We drank our beer and left. Outside I said,“ Father, just how did you write that date on which she was to meet you?”
He stopped, took out an envelope and wrote on it. “Like this,” he said. “12/11/73, which was, of course, December 11, 1973.” “No!” I exclaimed. “It isn't in Denmark or any European country. Over here they write the day first, then the month. So that date wouldn't be December 11 but the 12th of November!” Father passed his hand over his face. “So she was there!” he exclaimed. “And it was because I didn't show up that she got married.” He was silent a while. “Well,” he said.“I hope she's happy. She seems be.”
As we resumed walking I blurted out, “It is a lucky thing it happened that way. You wouldn't have met Mother.” He put his arm around my shoulders, looked at me with a heart-warming smile, and said, “I was doubly lucky, young fellow, for otherwise I wouldn't have met you, either!”

Petey hadn't really believed that Dad would be doing It - sending Granddad away. “Away” was what they were calling it.Not until now could he believe it of his father. But here was the blanket that Dad had bought for Granddad, and in the morning he'd be going away. This was the last evening they'd be having together. Dad was off seeing that girl he was to marry. He would not be back till late, so Petey and Granddad could sit up and talk. It was a fine September night, with a silver moon riding high. They washed up the supper dishes and then took their chairs out onto the porch. “I'll get my fiddle,” said the old man, “and play you some of the old tunes.”
But instead of the fiddle he brought out the blanket. It was a big double blanket, red with black stripes. “Now, isn't that a fine blanket!” said the old man, smoothing it over his knees. “And isn't your father a kind man to be giving the old fellow a blanket like that to go away with? It cost something, it did-look at the wool of it! There'll be few blankets there the equal of this one!”
It was like Granddad to be saying that. He was trying to make it easier. He had pretended all along that he wanted to go away to the great brick building-the government place. There he'd be with so many other old fellows, having the best of everything. . . . But Petey hadn't believed Dad would really do it, not until this night when he brought home the blanket. “Oh, yes, it's a fine blanket,” said Petey. He got up and went into the house. He wasn't the kind to cry and, besides, he was too old for that. He'd just gone in to fetch Granddad's fiddle.
The blanket slid to the floor as the old man took the fiddle and stood up. He tuned up for a minute, and then said, “This is one you'll like to remember.”
Petey sat and looked out over the gully. Dad would marry that girl. Yes, that girl who had kissed Petey and fussed over him, saying she'd try to be a good mother to him, and all. . . .
The tune stopped suddenly. Granddad said, “It's a fine girl your father's going to marry. He'll be feeling young again with a pretty wife like that. And what would an old fellow like me be doing around their house, getting in the way? An old nuisance, what with my talks of aches and pains. It's best that I go away, like I'm doing. One more tune or two, and then we'll be going to sleep. I'll pack up my blanket in the morning.”
They didn't hear the two people coming down the path. Dad had one arm around the girl, whose bright face was like a doll's. But they heard her when she laughed, right close by the porch. Dad didn't say anything, but the girl came forward and spoke to Granddad prettily: “I won't be here when you leave in the morning, so I came over to say good-bye.”
“It's kind of you,” said Granddad, with his eyes cast down. Then, seeing the blanket at his feet, he stooped to pick it up. “And will you look at this,” he said. “The fine blanket my son has given me to go away with.”

The ocean covers three quarters of the earths surface, produces 90 percentof allits life-supporting oxygen, and is the driving force behind the entireweather system. There are over 450 million cubic miles of sea water on theearth; and each cubic mile contains over 150 million tons of minerals. So vast and so pervasive is the sea that if the earths crust were made level,ocean water would form a blanket over 8,000 feet deep. The oceans contribute immeasurably to the earths life support system aswell as provide an untapped storehouse of food, minerals, energy, and ar-chaeological treasureAdvanced atmospheric diving suits permit researchers to descend to depthsof l,500 feet.
Yet the oceans average depth is greater than 12,000 feet. It is atthese depths that remarkable discoveries are being made, discoveries whichonly a short time ago would have been impossible. In that depth, where darkness is absolute and pressure exceeds eight tons persquare inch, robotic submersibles have discovered enormous gorges, fourtimes deeper than the Grand Canyon Here, too, are volcanoes that vastlyoutnumber those on land.
Landslides the size of Rhode Island have beenrecorded, as well as raging undersea storms that go completely unnoticed oitthe surface while dramatically rearranging the underwater landscapes. And under these seas the largest single geological feature on earth hasbeen found-a mountain range that dwarfs the Himalayas. Its a range thatcovers nearly one quarter of the earths surface. All these discoveries have come from the exploration ofless than one-tenthof this undersea mountain range.
The earth is the only planet we know that has an ocean. The ocean is tlielargest feature on earth. Yet its the one feature we know the least about. Weknow more about the moon 240,000 miles away than we know about thethree-fourths of the earth covered with water. Man has set foot on the moon,but not on the most remote part of the earth, 35,000 feet under the sea. Technology is changing all that. Its literally parting the waves for todaysundersea explorers.
And its bringing about the opportunity to transformvision, curiosity and wonder into practical knowledge. Properly managed as a tool to serve society, technology is the best hopefor overcoming economic and social problems facing people everywhere. Italways has been.
The earliest relics of human life are tools. And our ancientancestors used these tools to understand and change the world around themand make it better. The same is true today. The deep sea is the last frontier left to explore.

The Power of Knowledge
At age 89, Mary Fasano graduated with a bachelor s degree from the Extension School last week and entered the history books as the oldest person to earn an undergraduate degree at Harvard.Following is the speech she delivered--“The Power of Knowledge”--at the Extension School diploma awarding ceremony:
I remember one night a few years ago when my daughter was frantic with worry.After my Harvard Extension School classes, I usually arrived at the bus station near my home by 11 p.m., but on that night I was nowhere to be found.My daughter was nervous.It wasn t safe for a single woman to walk alone on the streets at night, especially one as defenseless as I am: I can slay a mugger with my sharp wit, but I m just too short to do any real physical damage.That night my daughter checked the bus station, drove around the streets, and contacted some friends.But she couldn t find me--until she called my astronomy professor who told her that I was on top of the Science Center using the telescope to gaze at the stars.Unaware of the time, I had gotten lost in the heavens and was only thinking about the new things I had learned that night in class.This story illustrates a habit I have developed over the years: I lose track of the time when it comes to learning.How else do you explain a woman who began high school at age 71 and who is graduating with a bachelor s degree at 89? I may have started late, but I will continue to learn as long as I am able because there is no greater feeling, in my opinion, than traveling to a faraway country as I have and being able to identify by sight the painting of a famous artist, the statue of an obscure sculptor, the cathedral of an ancient architect.I have found that the world is a final exam that you can never be prepared enough for.So I will continue to take classes and tell my story.Lately it seems that everyone is asking me, “Mary, what advice do you have for other students?” So while I have you all here, I m going to ease my burden of answering you each individually:
If the saying is true that wisdom comes with age, you may safely assume that I am one of the wisest people in this hall and possibly at this university today.So listen to me when I tell you this: Knowledge is power.My studies were interrupted when I was in the 7th grade, back sometime around World War I.I loved school but I was forced to leave it to care for my family.I was consigned to work in a Rhode Island cotton mill, where I labored for many years.I eventually married and raised 5 children, 20 grandchildren, and 18 great-grandchildren.But all the while I felt inferior to those around me.I knew I was as smart as a college graduate.I knew I was capable of doing a job well--I had proved it by running a successful family business for decades that still exists.But I wanted more.I wanted to feel confident when I spoke and I wanted people to respect my opinions.Does it surprise you to discover how much you have in common with an 89-year-old woman? I know that many of you graduates today, whether you were born in 1907 or 1967, have faced similar barriers to completing your studies and have sometimes felt inferior around those you work or socialize with just because you didn t have a degree.But I am here today--like you are--to prove that it can be done;that the power gained by understanding and appreciating the world around us can be obtained by anyone regardless of social status, personal challenges, or age.That belief is what has motivated me for the last 75 years to get this degree.It is also the mission of the Harvard Extension School.Without the support I received from this school, I might not have graduated until I was 100--a phrase that many of you have probably used in jest.There are many students here who do not have the opportunity that I do to speak their minds and have everybody listen, whether they want to or not.But be assured, fellow graduates, that we are more similar than you might think.If you have treated education as your main goal, and not as a means to an end, then you, too, have probably been claimed as a missing person once in your academic career, whether you were lost in the stars or the stacks of Widener Library.And you, too, know that the journey was worth it, and that the power of knowledge makes me the most formidable 89-year-old woman at the bus stop.Relationship That Lasts
If somebody tells you, “ I'll love you for ever,” will you believe it?
I don't think there's any reason not to.we are ready to believe such commitment at the moment, whatever change may happen afterwards.As for the belief in an everlasting love, that's another thing.Then you may be asked whether there is such a thing as an everlasting love.I'd answer i believe in it.But an everlasting love is not immutable.You may unswervingly love or be loved by a person.But love will change its composition with the passage of time.It will not remain the same.In the course of your growth and as a result of your increased experience, love will become something different to you.In the beginning you believed a fervent love for a person could last indefinitely.By and by, however,“ fervent” gave way to “ prosaic”.Precisely because of this change it became possible for love to last.Then what was meant by an everlasting love would eventually end up in a sort of interdependence.We used to insist on the difference between love and liking.The former seemed much more beautiful than the latter.one day, however, it turns out there's really no need to make such difference.Liking is actually a sort of love.By the same token, the everlasting interdependence is actually an everlasting love.I wish i could believe there was somebody who would love me forever.That's, as we all know, too romantic to be true.Instead, it will more often than not be a case of lasting relationship.Address by Engels
“On the 14th of March, at a quarter to three in the afternoon, the greatest living thinker ceased to think.He had been left alone for scarcely two minutes, and when we came back we found him in his armchair, peacefully gone to sleep-but forever.”An immeasurable loss has been sustained both by the militant proletariat of Europe and America, and by historical science, in the death of this man.The gap that has been left by the departure of this mighty spirit will soon enough make itself felt.“Just as Darwin discovered the law of development of organic nature, so Marx discovered the law of development of human history: the simple fact, hitherto concealed by an overgrowth of ideology, that mankind must first of all eat, drink, have shelter and clothing, before it can pursue politics, science, art, religion, etc.;that therefore the production of the immediate material means of subsistence and consequently the degree of economic development attained by a given people or during a given epoch form the foundation upon which the state institutions, the legal conceptions, art, and even the ideas on religion, of the people concerned have been evolved, and in the light of which they must, therefore, be explained, instead of vice versa, as had hitherto been the case.”But that is not all.Marx also discovered the special law of motion governing the present-day capitalist mode of production and the bourgeois society that this mode of production has created.The discovery of surplus value suddenly threw light on the problem, in trying to solve which all previous investigations, of both bourgeois economists and socialist critics, had been groping in the dark."Two such discoveries would be enough for one lifetime.Happy the man to whom it is granted to make even one such discovery.But in every single field which Marx investigated--and he investigated very many fields, none of them superficially--in every field, even in that of mathematics, he made independent discoveries.结语:早上晨读英语是一个学习英语的好方法,一定要坚持。以上就是小编整理收集的晨读英语美文短篇,谢谢阅读!

模板一 How to Deal with Stress-如何面对压力
How to Deal with Stress(如何面对压力)1.为什么会有压力? 2.如何面对压力? [写作导航]第一段先用定义法指出压力是什么,以及压力的危害;第二段写压力的各种来源;第三段写如何面对压力,可针对第二段的来源,举例说明各种解决办法;最后一段提醒人们面对压力方法要对头,不可走歪路。
[范文]
Stress is a state of being upset that happens when we are under pressure.Both our feelings and our bodies get upset.We can even get emotionally and physically sick if we have too much stress for too long.Stress can come at us from every direction.For instance, it can come from fights with other people.It can come when we have too many things to do and too little time to do them.It can also come when we do not have enough money to pay for what we want.Since stress can make us sick, we have to learn how to deal with it.There are good ways and bad ways to do so.We should deal with stress in good ways, of course.Good ways to cut down on stress include changing our lifestyles.For example, we can learn either to get along with people or to stay away from them.We can decide what to do now, what to do later, and what to leave off doing forever.We can also figure out how to get money or we can cut down on what we want.We should not deal with stress in bad ways because bad ways to cut down on stress just lead to more troubles, for example, skipping out and leaving our work undone, blaming our problems on someone else, stealing or cheating.模板二 My View On Private Tutoring-家教之我见
My View On Private Tutoring(家教之我见)1.家教与日俱增; 2.家教的优缺点; 3.我的看法。

Nowadays, an increasing numbers of parents ask college students to act as private tutors to their kids.Like everything else, private tutoring also has advantages and disadvantages.Generally speaking, the advantages can be listed as follows.First, private tutoring is helpful to the parents.Many parents are so busy with their work that they have no time to help their children with their lessons.Besides, private tutoring is good for the tutors themselves.They can make some money while providing a service for others.Most important of all, private tutoring is beneficial for kids.Since the parents can't help when the kids have problems, private tutoring seems to be a wise choice.However, private tutoring also has disadvantages.To begin with, it takes so much of the kid's time that they can hardly find time for rest and amusement, which is harmful to their health.To
2011新东方英语四级作文模板
make matters worse, some tutors have too many kids to teach so that they neglect their studies at school.Worst of ail, some tutors only offer tips for test taking rather than teaching kids what is really needed.According to the above analysis, it is clear that the disadvantages outweigh the advantages.Therefore, it is proposed that great emphasis be laid on the stimulation of the kid' s learning and the cultivation of their potential Moreover, kids should be given more time to play so that a new and healthy generation will emerge.模板三 English Teaching at College-大学英语教学
English Teaching at College(大学英语教学)1.有人认为大学英浯教学非常成功。2.有人认为大学英语教学是个失败。3.我的看法或建议。
[写作导航]开始先分述两种看法,认为大学英语教学成功的人以大学英语考试人数一直猛增及英语能力强的人在各行各业所做的贡献为依据支持自己的观点;认为大学英语教学失败的人则以大学生口语差、翻译和写作水平低为依据支持自己的看法;而“我”认为大学英语教学有进步,但仍存在问题,如教师一言堂,应试教育等;“我”建议大学英语教学应彻底改革,大力培养学生的各项语言技能。[范文]
Some people say that English teaching at college in China has proved to be successful Take College English Test as an example, more than four million students have taken it and the number is still increasing year by year.This means that increasing numbers of people are aware of the necessity and importance of English learning.What is more, large numbers of students who are competent in English are making their contributions to the county in all walks of life.Others, on the other hand, suggest that English teaching at college in China is a complete failure.They suggest that, on the whole, most graduates still can't communicate with native speakers properly in spoken English.Besides, they are incompetent in both translation and writing.I think great progress has been made in English teaching at college in China over the past 15 years.Yet, there are still some problems.On the one hand, English teaching at college in China is still teacher centered, although the student centered approach has been advocated for years.The teacher dominates the class, leaving students little time to practice.On the other hand, English teaching at college in China is still test oriented.Passing College English Test has been regarded as a prerequisite for graduates to get jobs on the job market.So great emphasis is given on how to pass the tests rather than on how to develop the students' language skills.As a result, students do not have the language competence though most of them have passed College English Test.Therefore, it is my strong feeling therefore that English teaching at colleges in China should go through some radical reform.Priority should be given to the development of the four language skills rather than to develop the skills in passing the examination.模板四 How to Use Our Brain-用脑之道
How to Use Our Brain(用脑之道)1.人脑的重要性及作用。
2011新东方英语四级作文模板
2.如何科学用脑。

Human brain is the most complex and intelligent mechanism in the world.It is the major factor that distinguishes man from animals.With our brain we get to know the world and make a good use of the world to our benefit.Our brain is a product of constant use through millions of years.Other things can be used up, but used properly, our brain can never be exhausted.In fact, the more we use it, the more capable and efficient it will become.Excessive use of the brain, however, will causea lot of problems.So it is useful to know how to use our brain wisely.First, handwork or physical labor is good exercise as well as rest for our brain.Doing handwork and brain work alternatively can help develop both our brain and hands.Secondly, we should avoid doing brainwork for long hours on end.The brain, though 3% of the body weight, when at work, consumes 20% of the oxygen carried by 16% of the blood in circulation.A long period of brainwork may cause, through lack of bodily activity, slow blood circulation and inadequate oxygen supply to the brain, resulting in inefficiency and possible damage to the brain.模板五 Student Use of Computers

that may be difficult for man to do, making man's work easier.So, many people turn to computers for help when they want to have their job done.For another, computers are becoming cheaper day by day.As a result, many universities install them in large numbers and many families can afford to buy one, consequently, they are always available for the students to use.But the prime reason, I think, is that with the development of society, computers are used in ahnost all walks of life.Those who are specialized in operating computers are badly needed.If a student is good at computer, chances will be greater for him to get a job.Many problems also arise in students use of computers.One problem is that some students spend too much time sitting in front of their computers, as a result, their bealth is affected.The other problem is that some students chat or play video games for a long time on computers, wasting a lot of their precious time.So it is suggested that these students make a scientific and positive use of the computers.模板六 Ownership of Houses in a Big City Directions: For this part, you are allowed thirty minutes to write a composition on the topic Ownership of Houses in a Big City in China.You must base your composition on the following instructions(given in Chinese):

Great changes have taken place in the ownership of houses in cities in China from 1990 to 2000.While the number of state owned houses decreased, that of private houses increased.In 1990, seventyfive percent of the houses were state owned whereas only twenty five percent of the houses were private.In 2000, however, the proportion of state owned houses reduced to twenty percent and that of private houses increased to eighty percent.There are many reasons for the great change in the ownership of houses in cities.The development of the economy is the most important one.Thanks to this development, people make more money than they used to.As a result, they can set aside some money to buy houses after their daily necessities are satisfied.The measures the government adopts may be the next incentive.Nowadays, people can have access to various kinds of loans from banks when buying the house.The large supply of housing may be the last reason.Wherever you go, you can see houses of various designs and sizes available for people to choose.These changes will have a great influence on both the living standard of the individual and the productivity of the society.People can live in the spacious houses of their own and the

[范文]
As the pace of modern life continues to quicken, many people are in the habit of rushing through life.Some admit that stress seems to be on the increase all the time.A certain degree of stress is beneficial to us, but too much stress is certainly harmful, and sometinles may even harmful to our health and physique.So it is necessary to know how to reduce stress.There are many ways that can help us solve this problem, but the following may be the most effective.First, learn to COllie to terms with yourselves.Don't set a goal that is too high because there are many things in this world that are beyond your reach.Learn to be content to go as far as you can.Second, learn to COllie to terms with the world around you.Don't try to change other people or other things.There are people and things in this world that you can do nothing about.So learn to accept them.Third, don't be too interested in material things and don't try to “keep up with the Joneses.” Don't harbor any jealousy, vanity or resentment to others.Be satisfied with what you have.Finally, keep in touch with your friends.Talk with them, share with them your happiness and misery.This will help to make you feel better.These are not necessarily the only ways to solve the problem, and it is my hope that everyone can reduce the too much stress in his work and study and live a relaxed happy life.模板九My View on Job-hopping

My View on Job-hopping
People have different attitudes towards their work.Some prefer to stick to one occupation as their lifelong career.These people are of the opinion that one can never do his work well unless he is devoted to only one job in his lifetime.So if one changes his job frequently, he will not get the necessary experience needed in his work.Others, on the other hand, like to change their jobs at times.In their opinion, people work in order to make more money.If they havea chance to get a better paid job, they will certainly try to get this chance.Besides, if a person does only one job all his life, he will certainly be bored with it.My idea is that interest is the most important if one wants to excel others in his job.So if a person is not interested in his job, job hopping is normal and even necessary.Otherwise, he will suffer from his work, and inevitably, he is not likely to succeed in his career.模板十 How to Read Better and Faster

Reading is not only relaxation.To keep up with their work, many people must read letters, reports, publications, office documents, a never ending flood of words.In an examination, the ability to read and to comprehend quickly can mean the difference between success and failure.But the fact is that most of us are poor readers.Fortunately, almost anyone can learn to read faster and with greater comprehension.Here are some suggestions on how to deal with some bad reading habits.If you mouth each word as you read, this slows down you toa snail's speed.The best way to correct this problem is to place a finger on your lips and hold them firmly shut till you've broken the habit.If your head swings as your eyes move along a line, lock your head between your hands as you read.If you point to each word with your finger, grip the reading material firmly with both hands or sit on your hands while you read.Here are more suggestions to train you to read better and faster: Read in aquiet spot, as free from distraction as possible.But don't daydream;force yourself to concentrate on what you are reading.If you come across unfamiliar words, try to guess the meaning from the context, then check the meaning in a dictionary later.Don't reread.Pretend the words disappear as your eyes pass over them.You'll probably be surprised to find that you didn't miss anything important.Try to glance only at nouns and verbs in sentences to see how much you can get out of reading this way.The secret of success is constant practice.What you get will be worth the effort 模板十一
Is It Harder for an Adult to&n Is It Harder for an Adult to Learn New Languages?(成人更难学外语吗?)1.成人学习一种新的语言是否比儿童困难? 2.阐述原因。[写作导航]第一段从人们的普遍看法入手,即年龄越大,学外语越难,然后提出质疑:这是真的吗?否定之后指出,这并不一定,通常随着年龄增加,学语言的能力也增强;第二段陈述原因,一是因为成人社会阅历丰富,二是因为成人逻辑思维能力强,三是因为成人自控能力超过儿童;最后一段以鼓励成人学好外语结尾。[范文]
Most people think that the older you get, the harder it is to learn a new language.This is because they believe that children learn languages more easily and efficiently than adults.Thus, at some point in our lives, maybe around ages 12 or 13, we lose the ability to learn languages well.Is it true that children learn a foreign language more efficiently than adults? It may not necessarily be the case.In fact, the ability to learn language increases as the age increases, from childhood to adulthood.There are several possible explanations for these findings.For one thing, adults know more about the world and, therefore, are able to understand things more easily than children.Moreover, adults can use logical thinking to help them see patterns in the language.Finally, adults have more self discipline than children.All in all, the common conception that children are better language learners than adults may

When we study English, we learn to listen, speak, read and write.Of these abilities, speaking is the most important.As we all know, the fundamental means of commUnication is speaking.Onlyby speaking to each other directly can two people exchange their ideas freely and efficiently.This is especially true in modern times when we live in a “global village”, where joint ventures and overseas tourism become commonplace.Many employers in joint ventures speak English, so do most of the tourists.Many difficulties will arise if we can't express ourselves fluently in English.In spite of my awareness of its importance, I seldom find chances to practice and improve my oral English.So, I am still very weak with regard to this respect.one reason is that my pronunciation and intonation aren't good enough.The other is that I am so shy that I am always too nervous to find the exact words to express my ideas and feelings.As a result the best way for me to do is to remain silent when others are practicing and making great progress in their oral English everyday.Now I am attaching much more importance to oral English and I have made up my mind to seize every opportunity to practice.I begin to participate actively in all kinds of English activities, such as going to “English Corners”, talking in English with my classmates and with native speakers.“Nothing is difficult in the world if you really put your heart to it.” as the Chinese saying goes.If I can build up my confidence, if I am not afraid of losing face any more, if I really work hard on it, I am sure my oral English will be excellent someday.模板十三 Advantages and Disadvantages of Cell&nbs Advantages and Disadvantages of Cell Phones(手机的利弊)1.手机使用的普遍性; 2.手机的优点;

Cell phones have become increasingly popular in China these days.Wherever you go you can see people using cell phones.Many college students, even high school students, have cell phones.Cell phones have brought people a lot of benefits, but the most important is that they are convenient.With cell phones in their hands, they can keep in touch with anybody they want.If they want to get some information from the Internet, they can easily have their dream realized via cell phones too.Furthermore, if someone has a heart attack or a traffic accident, a call to emergency hospital or to the police can quickly bring him the help he wants.However, cell phones can also bring people problems.The most serious is the electric wave radiation which is thought to be harmful to users' brains.Another problem is that when people are having a meeting or having a class or at a concert etc, the ring of the cell phone may interrupt others.So I think people should use cellphones as little as possible and turn them off when they are attending important meetings or attending classes.模板十四
Why Living Off Campus Is Popular?
Why Living Off Campus Is Popular?(校外租房何以流行?)1.学生校外租房住宿较普遍; 2.校外租房住宿的原因; 3.我的看法。
[写作导航]第一段从学生租房现象普遍过渡到探究其原因,结尾句引出下段;第二段首先指出校外租房住宿的好处,首先,住在校外可省去与他人相处的烦琐,可集中精力学习;其次,住在校外可有更多自由,如熬夜、不受限制地上网等;最后,住在校外可有更多的隐私权;结尾段谈“我”的看法,即事物都是一分为二的,住在校外会失去体验校园丰富生活的机会,还会错过学会与他人相处的机会等。
[范文]Nowadays living off campus enjoys great popularity among college students.Why, then, do students do so when they are provided with very modern apartments and good services on campus? The reasons can be listed as follows.First, living off-campus can relieve the student from time consuming and energy consuming trivialities.Since people from different places have different personalities, habits, and interests, etc, some students think that it is difficult for them to get along with their pals.If they live off-campus, they don't have to spend time worrying about and thinking of how to get along with their roommates.In this way, they will have more time for their studies.Secondly, living off-campus can offer them a lot of freedom.Freed from the regulations of the university, they can do whatever they want in whatever time they like.For example, they can stay up late, reading books or surfing on the Internet.Lastly, living off campus can give them more privacy.If they live in a dormitory, they have no “human rights” so far as privacy is concerned.I think living off-campus has both its benefits and shortcomings.If we live off campus we will not have the chance to experience the rich and colorful social life on campus.Away from our classmates, we will not have the chance to learn how to communicate with those who have divergent opinions.We will lose the chance to learn to cooperate with others.模板十五

It is reported that the health of young people in China, college students in particular, is not as good as is supposed to be.There are many reasons for this fact, but the main reason is that many people ignore the importance of physical exercises.Why, then, are physical exercises so important to our health? First, physical exercises can improve blood circulation, speeding up the supply of nutrients and oxygen to every part of the body and the removal of waste from the blood through sweating and exhalation.Secondly, physical exercises can promote a healthy metabolism.It helps with the digestion and absorption of food, thus giving everyone a good appetite.Thirdly, physical exercise can help consume excessive fat in the body, preventing people from putting on too much weight, thus keeping them in good shape.Finally, after physical exercises we usually need a good rest and a sound sleep at night, refreshing us for the next day's work.In conclusion, physical exercises not on[y keep us fit and strong, but also help us to be

In spite of objections from public opinion, many students can't draw themselves away from video games.It seems that the more they are prohibited from playing the games, the more they are tempted to do so.Many students indulge themselves in playing these games.Video games are harmful to both the individual and society in many ways.First, they endanger the young people's health.Sitting in front of the computer for hours on end is bad for the player's eyesight as well as his entire physique.Secondly, they distract the young people%attention from their work and study.Absorbed in the games, the player often forgets to go to work or class.Sometimes even if they are at work or in class, they are still thinking of the games they played or are going to play after work or after class.As a result, they quickly fall behind others in their work and study.Thirdly, they lead young people to moral degradation.Some young people are especially interested in games that are filled with violence.If they play these games a long time, they may also settle disagreements through violence, which may give rise to higher crime rate.Therefore, it is time we took effective measures to solve this problem.On the one hand, young people should be made fully aware of the danger of video games.On the other, illegal video game houses should be eliminated, and software producers should be encouraged to make more beneficial video games in the future.模板十八

students.Others, however, think that it is the teachers who should be responsible.But I think both the students and the teachers have fault of their own.Compared with middle school students, college students have relatively more “freedom”.If they are not strict with themselves, chances are that they will oversleep in the morning, go to the Internet or find other activities to entertain themselves during class hours.In addition, some students have the misconception that work experience is more important than theoretical knowledge when it comes to job hunting.So they busy themselves in part time jobs when they should be attending class.On the other hand, some teachers still conduct classes in the old fashioned way.Their classes are so boring that they make many students fall asleep.Besides, some textbooks are so out of date that they think it a waste of time attending classes.In a word, both the students and the teachers should be wide awake to this serious problem and make great efforts to use the time at college to its best advantage.
