参考范文:
It is widely believed that fresh water will never be used up due to its rich resources such as rain, rivers and wells In fact, such belief is unfortunately wrong and possibly dangerous As is depicted in the picture, we are facing serious shortage of fresh water, especially in the northern part of China The land in some areas has become barren and there is no water coming from the pumps Definitely, the picture reminds us of the serious situation we are confronting
Short as it is, people still waste it With the growth of population and industry, the amount of fresh water in use is also growing rapidly It is estimated that if not controlled, fresh water will be used up by the next century Another dangerous factor is the water pollution, which aggravates the seriousness of fresh water shortage
It is no use only being aware of the shortage of fresh water It is never too late if we act right now The first important measure is to protect our water resources form being polluted Educating people to save water in daily life is of similar significance Techniques such as recycling waste water and converting sea water into drinkable water are especially needed in dry areas It is only when these measures are put into practice can the shortage of fresh water be solved

话题英语作文 篇4othing Succeeds Without a Strong Will
“Where there is a will, there is way” is an old proverb which almost everyone knows, but not all understand it so well Actually, it means that if you are really resolved to do something, no matter how difficult it might be, never give up
In fact, strong will is a kind of good quality which successful people should own A great man is always one who has a firm resolution and an inflexible spirit One will never succeed all his life without a firm will to get the final victory As a rule, great tasks are accomplished by men of strong will For example, Dr Sun Yatsen, the founder of the Republic of China, set the Chinese people free from the Manchurian rule through a long period of hard struggle Many of his attempts failed and many of his followers were killed, but he had an inflexible spirit and stuck to his cause Finally, he made the revolution of 1911 a success The same is true of men in all walks of life
It is quite obvious that there is nothing difficult in the world, if you make up your mind to do it, you will certainly accomplish your end That stands to reason So as for students like us, we should have a good attitude towards failure Facing with difficulties and failures, keep heads up and never give up Besides, we should make full preparation, though strong will help us overcome the difficulties, it is not for person who has no preparation

近年来环境保护仍然有许多问题。最严重的问题之一是严重的空气、水和土壤污染。被污染的空气对人体健康危害很大。污染的水会引起疾病和死亡,更重要的是,随着现代城市的快速增长植被已大大减少了。
To protect the environment, governments of many countries have done a lot Legislative steps have been introduced to control air pollution, to protect the forest and sea resources and to stop any environmental pollution Therefore, governments are playing the most important role in the environmental protection today
为了保护环境,各国政府做了很多努力。立法措施已经被用来控制空气污染,保护森林资源和海洋资源,制止任何的环境污染。因此,在当今的环保中政府起着最重要的作用
In my opinion, to protect environment, the government must take even more concrete measures First, it should let people fully realize the importance of environmental protection through education Second, much more efforts should be made to put the population planning policy into practice, because more people means more pollution Finally, those who destroy the environment intentionally should be severely punished We should let them know that destroying environment means destroying mankind themselves
在我看来,为了保护环境,政府必须采取更具体的措施。首先,它应该让人们充分认识到通过教育意识到环境保护的重要性英语写作。第二,应该付出更多的努力把计划生育政策付诸实施,因为人口越多就意味着污染越多。最后,那些故意破坏环境的人应该受到严惩。我们应该让他们知道破坏环境就是毁灭人类自己。

话题英语作文 篇9高考英语话题作文:有关人与事件
例1:
The Most Unforgettable Person I Ever knew
(1)我生活中最难以忘怀的人是……(2)为什么他(或她)一直在我心中(3)结论
In my life I have met many people who are really worth my recalling But perhaps the most unforgettable person I ever knew is my Chinese language teacher
What frequently brings back memories of my school teacher is his special qualities First of all, I was attracted by his lively wit I remember we always long for his class with great eagerness because his lecture were humorously delivered, never failing to provoke loud laughs Second, he gave us the greatest gift a teacher can offer-- an awakening of a passion for learning He not only led us to an appreciation of the beauty and perfection of Chinese and literature, but also aroused our great interest in exploring something deeper in this field Finally, I was deeply impressed by the respect he showed for us, for he treated us like friends rather than students
Although it is nearly 10 years since I attended his last class, he is the talk of our old classmates, and I know part of him has already stayed in my heart
例2:
A Lesson from My Parents
Parents are your first teachers Write a short essay to describe one of instructive lessons you once learned from your parents, including:
(1)描述一件有教育意义的事情;(2)它对你的影响。
A distance of 500 miles separates my college from my hometown, an old city, where my parents have been living, but my heart has never been away for a single step, because the lesson from them will be a gift of lifetime
When I was still 15, the laid-offs, or rather untimely retirements, of both my Mum and dad, arrived by far earlier than ever expected Moreover, it could be hardly imagined how much their careers meant to them other than earning money
Nevertheless, it would be not long before they managed to get over such a blow They thus underwent all kinds of odd jobs they could run into, be they dirty or painstaking That way with sufficient money for my tuition fee and living expenses I went through my three academic years
Now one of them is getting weaker and both older, but the lesson that God only helps those who help themselves they taught me will endure in my mind despite the passage of time
话题英语作文 篇10This question and another similar question, "Have you decided what you will do after you finish school" were among the most common questions people often asked me when I was a small child and then a student in school Choosing the right career is very important For this reason we should try to find out what our talents and interests are and how we can use them There are many careers open to each of us Many persons find their place in government service, and many others may be interested in going into the business world Teaching, newspaper works, medicine, engineering, science -- these and many other fields offer fascinating careers to persons with talent and training
这个问题和另一个相似的问题"你决定完成学业之后做什幺了吗"是我小时候和在学校时人们问得最多的一个问题。选择一个适当的职业是非常重要的。因此,我们必需找出自己的天赋和兴趣所在并且要知道如何加以利用。我们每个人都面临着许多职业选择。一些人在政府机构找到了他们的位置,而另一些人则可能喜欢在商界驰骋。教育、新闻、医药、工程、科学等和其它许多行业给都有才能的人提供了丰富的就业机会。
would eat, 这个语感实在是太强了,打死也不会出现B中的语态,语气。如果你要上升到理论,为什么选A,我推荐一篇文章,很不错,特别是写的“would”的用法,很实用,很有感觉:
will, be going to 和would都有将要或将会干什么的意思,但是在用法上有很大的区别。will通常表示确定或计划好了的将来会/要发生的事,一般不以个人的主观意志为转移,或者主观上决定了不再改变的事。比如:I will be 30 next month(不是我啊) It will rain tomorrow (根据气象台的报道) I will donate $1000 to my alma mater(也不是我啊)。be going to通常表示即将要做或发生的事,主观愿望或判断很强烈,中文里相当于“打算”。美语口语常说成gonna I am going to play soccer this afternoon It's gonna be raining (我的判断) I am not gonna buy that car right now, but I'll do it after I get a job (感受一下going to 和 will的差别)两者的区别还在于,will 较 be going to 更书面化一些,be going to更口语化,通常说成gonna, 但说be going to也很正常,不过,如果你说英语不是那么地道就不要说gonna,否则人家反而觉得别扭。好比一个普通话都说不清楚的南方人,到了北京,本来人家也不会笑话你什么,不过你什么都没学会就,“边儿去”倒说得挺标准,还老用个没完,那听了可就有点儿别扭了。另外,有时候will 和be going to 的区别也不明显,两者常可以互换使用,初学者不用太为计较。至于 would,很有讲头啊。它原来是will的过去式。所以它的第一功能是表示过去将会发生的事。比如:He told me he would not eat my mom's pancakeThe baby was born to a poor farmer's family Nobody knew he would become the 21th president of United States of America 40 years later (这是我随口瞎编的啊)The driver would have been in trouble if he'd drunk that nightwould的第二层用法是最常见的和like或love联用,表示很想或很愿意做一件事,love则比like更为强烈。有些朋友想学一些最基本实用有趣的东西,这里我就引用一个美国朋友给我发的email中的一段,他恰好like和love都用了。We would like you to join our family for a traditional Christmas dinner on 25 December We would love to have you come to Estes Park and enjoy a meal at our table and see some of our winter beautywould的第三层用法在于,表示客气,猜测或不确定等软化的语气。我们知道,英文里很多情愿动词都有这个用法,比如may-might, can-could (将另文介绍)。客气:Your assistance would be highly appreciated Would you give me a hand Would you shut up猜测或不确定:Jim would not stay there for a long time 如果这里用will或is going to 来取代,则表示说话的人有足够的理由或证据做这个判断,Jim计划中不会呆太久,或他这次没打算呆太久。用would只表示一种猜测,基于对Jim这个人一贯做法的了解,而不是瞎猜的。言下之意就是说,(以Jim这个人的一贯做法),他是不会在那儿呆太长时间的。由此引出would的第四种用法,表示一种倾向和一贯做法。比如:I would say I don't like Bush's administration 这里省略的潜台词是,(如果你一定要我下一个判断的话),我会说我不喜欢布什政府。如果说成是I will say的话,感觉上就很困惑,没有人逼你说嘛,或者好象你安排好了要在一个讲话里或者小品中讲这句台词。再举一个生动一点的例子,有一次我到超市里去买菜,看到一个美国妇女在买bok choy(就是中国人说的小白菜,实际是广东话的音译。这里也说明了小谢前贴中的那个观点,英语的包容性是很强的;另一个例子是ketchup,很多人不知道怎么来的,其实也是广东话茄汁的音译),我当时就觉得很奇怪,因为通常美国人不会吃这种绿叶子的蔬菜(spinach是一个例外,不过大力水手Popeye也只是吃罐头菠菜的),所以我就问她:How would you cook it 在这里,我的意思是,通常你会把白菜怎么做呢?如果我说will 或者 are going to的话,当然不是不可以,但那样就变成“就事论事”,就这一次你买的白菜你打算怎么做?这样一来不仅没有表达出我的原意,对方还一定会感到很奇怪:他管我这次怎么做干什么呀?她后来回答说:I have no idea (我倒!)然后指着不远处另一个中国男子说:My husband would cook it (难怪!!!)看,这里,她也没有用will或is going to,表示说我们家的白菜通常都是我先生来做的,至于怎么做我也搞不清楚,反正我是只管吃了。would的这个用法通常是和虚拟和条件语气紧密联系在一起的,可以说是虚假或条件语气下的一种省略的说法。就是说,假如什么什么,你“会”(would)如何如何。比如刚才布什政府和Jim的那两个例子,省掉了前面“你一定要我说的话”和“基于Jim的一贯做法”这半截儿。最后我们再来比较一下would在虚拟和条件语气中的用法,并感受一下虚拟和条件语气的区别。a The driver would have been in trouble if he'd drunk that nightb I would give him a ride if he drinks too much大家看出这两句哪一句是虚拟哪一句是条件语气了吗?对了,a句是虚拟,b句是条件。a句中说的是,事实上那个司机那天晚上是没有喝酒的,而假如(虚拟语气来了)他喝了的话,那他就会有麻烦了(他其实那晚也没有麻烦)。大家记住,所有虚拟语气都要在时态上往过去式上升一格,也就是说,现在时的改过去时,过去时的改过去完成时,将来时的改过去将来时,将来完成时的改过去将来完成时(不信你还没晕),以此类推。至于b句,则是条件语气,如果他喝得太多的话,我会送他的。但不是“就事论事”地特指今晚哦,只要他喝醉了,我都会这么做的,不管是什么时候。再看三个句子:c I will give him a ride if he drinks tonight(打定主意要这么做了,事前计划好了的)d Since he's drunk too much tonight, I am going to give him a ride(我这就准备这么做,当然用will也不是不可以)e I would like to give him a ride even if he hadn't drunk at all (我很愿意这么做。又是虚拟啊,看出来了吗,他喝酒了!)
