英语作文 篇1
April Fool's Day is traditionally a day to play practical jokes on others, send people on fool's errands, and fool the unsuspecting. No one knows how this holiday began but it was thought to have originated in France.
The closest point in time that can be identified as the beginning of this tradition was in 1582, in France. New Year's was celebrated on March 25 and celebrations lasted until April 1st. When New Year's Day as changed from March 25 to January 1st in the mid-1560's by King Charles IX, there were some people who still celebrated it on April 1st and those people were called April Fools.
Pranks performed on April Fool's Day range from the simple, (such as saying, "Your shoe's untied!), to the elaborate. Setting a roommate's alarm clock back an hour is a common gag. The news media even gets involved. For instance, a British short film once shown on April Fool's Day was a fairly detailed documentary about "spaghetti farmers" and how they harvest their crop from the spaghetti trees. Whatever the prank, the trickster usually ends it by yelling to his victim, "April Fool!"
April Fool's Day is a "for-fun-only" observance. Nobody is expected to buy gifts or to take their "significant other" out to eat in a fancy restaurant. Nobody gets off work or school. It's simply a fun little holiday, but a holiday on which one must remain forever vigilant, for he may be the next April Fool!
Each country celebrates April Fool's differently. In France, the April Fool's is called "April Fish" (Poisson d'Avril). The French fool their friends by taping a paper fish to their friends' backs and when some discovers a this trick, they yell "Poisson d'Avril!".
In England, tricks can be played only in the morning. If a trick is played on you, you are a "noodle". In Scotland, April Fools Day is 48 hours long and you are called an "April Gowk", which is another name for a cuckoo bird. The second day in Scotland's April Fool's is called Taily Day and is dedicated to pranks involving the buttocks. Taily Day's gift to posterior posterity is the still-hilarious "Kick Me" sign.（约360字）

英语作文 篇3
That was a morning in the early of June. I took a bus to my school in the suburb which was surrounded by rice paddies and ponds. The sky was gray with the gloomy clouds congregating gradually along the far eastern horizon. "There must be a heavy rain soon." I spoke to myself.
When I hurried into the classroom, the sky, gray before, was shrouded now by black clouds, darken to twilight, I felt quite stuffy, while it was quite calm, without wind. I saw the leaves of trees and grass static, which seem to await something tohappen. Several minutes later, I saw the lightening split the clouds and heard the thunders following. Suddenly, the curtain of rain fell and the wind blew. soon the grass flattened under the wind and the rain. With the rain forming like a fog, the sky became bright. I took several deep breathes. I felt comfortable. The heavy rain lasted three hours and stopped when the class was over. The air was so fresh and the sky was so clear. I felt like a new man myself.
那是在六月的一个早晨。我坐公共汽车去郊区四周是稻田和鱼塘的学校。天空中灰色阴沉的乌云逐渐聚集在遥远的东方地平线上。”很快就要下大雨了。”我对自己说。
当我匆忙走进教室，天空变灰色之前，已被黑云笼罩，暗的黄昏，我觉得很闷，虽然它很平静，没有风。我看见树叶和草一动不动，像等着什么事情发生。几分钟后，我看到闪电撕开云层，然后听到雷声。突然，大雨倾盆，狂风阵阵。很快，草在风雨中倒伏。随着雨下成了雾，天空变得明亮。我做了几个深呼吸。我感到很舒服。大雨下了三个小时，当课结束时就停止了。空气是那么清新，天空是那么的清晰。我觉得自己像一个新的人。

【例文】
Recently, we have made a survey of the people on physical training. Only 35 percent of the people surveyed have taken part in physical activities.
Over half of the people say they haven’t got enough time to take exercises. 34.9 percent of them complain they don’t have places where they can relax themselves and that there are not enough training facilities, while another 12.9 percent of the people feel that they live too far away from the training centers. Some of them even don’t know how to train.
For lack of physical training, many people are not in good health. People should realize the importance of it, and measures should be taken to provide people with training facilities.

英语作文 篇5
It is obvious to everybody that the only way to achieve one‘s goal is to work hard. Just as the old saying goes "no mill, no meal". Have you ever seen a man who succeeds just by idling about? Of course, the answer is "No". So we know if you want to gain something, you will have pains.
The farmers harvest by a year of arduous work; the scientists gain achievements by years of devoted researches; students get good marks by working hard; even the little ants have their food by working hard day and night. 1 know there are always some people who wait for the opportunities falling on them. They may attribute their failures to lack of good chances. Therefore, there are so many people gaining nothing at last. Clever men know that the more effort they make, the bigger chance they will have to be successful.
So, when others achieve their aspirations and you still gain nothing, don‘t complain about the unfair fate and don‘t give up, either. Remember: no pains, no gains.
对每个人来说都是为了实现目标的唯一途径就是努力工作明显。正如俗话所说：“不推磨，没饭吃”。你见过有人靠无所事事获得成功吗?当然，答案是“没有”。我们知道，如果你想获得的东西，你会有痛苦。
通过一年的辛勤工作的农民丰收;科学家经过多年钻研后取得的成绩;学生通过努力获得好成绩;就连小小的蚂蚁，有他们的食物日夜辛勤的工作。知道总有一些人对他们等待的机会下降。他们会把失败归因于运气不好。因此，有这么多的人最后没有获得。聪明的人知道他们做的努力，他们会取得成功的机会更大。
所以，当别人实现他们的愿望，自己仍无所事事时，不要抱怨命运不公，不要放弃，要么。记住：没有付出，就没有收获。
英语作文 篇6
The first fifty years of the next millennium will be critical for the world's population. By 20xx population growth should have leveled off, but by then we'll have 10 billion people--two-thirds as many again as we have today.The rate of population growth is something we can choose right now, though: it's not something that just happens, but a matter of human choice. The choice is a complicated one,with many variables, but it remains a choice.
If we want to prevent a population explosion, we should take action now -or assist the poorer countries to do so. They need better government, better institutions, better labor and capital markets, better schools.
Anything that increases the value of women's time and adds to the cost of caring for a child makes a woman less likely to have that child. Since big families are often seen as safety nets for illness and old age, improving poor people's access to insurance, pensions and welfare institutions also has a major impact. This can be as simple as rural credit, providing a means of saving. Finally, there is education--both for women and, perhaps even more important, for the next generation of children.
These steps are there to be taken, but there appear to be some countries that are not seriously trying at the moment. If we cannot achieve that we will certainly not control population.
That said, I don't feel pessimistic that we are going to run out of resources: we are becoming more efficient at producing food faster than the rate at which population is increasing. There is, however, a risk that we will wreck the environment so effectively that the world will no longer be an attractive place to live. That really would be a dismal outcome, to reach world population equilibrium only to find we'd destroyed the natural environment in the process.
翻译：
第一个五十年的下一年世界人口将至关重要。到20xx年人口增长应该趋于平稳,但那时我们将有100亿人——我们今天三分之二尽可能多的再次。人口的增长是我们可以选择现在,尽管:这不是刚好,但人类选择的问题。选择是一个复杂的,有许多变量,但它仍然是一个选择。
如果我们想避免人爆满,我们现在应该采取行动或者帮助贫穷国家。他们需要更好的政府,更好的制度,更好的劳动力和资本市场,更好的学校。
任何增加的价值,女性的时间和增加了的成本照顾一个孩子会让一个女人更不可能有孩子。自大家庭往往被视为安全网疾病和衰老,改善贫困人口获得保险、退休金和福利机构也有重大影响。这可以简单如农村信用,提供储蓄的一种手段。最后,还有教育,对于女性来说,也许更重要的是,对于下一代的孩子。
有采取这些步骤,但似乎有些国家不认真努力。如果我们不能实现,我们将肯定不是控制人口。
说,我不觉得悲观,我们将耗尽资源:我们正变得更有效地生产粮食的速度比人口增长的速度。然而,风险,我们将有效地破坏环境,世界将不再是一个吸引人居住的地方。这确实是一个可悲的结果,实现了人口的平衡却发现在这个过程中我们破坏了自然环境。
英语作文 篇7
On Failure
Everyone expects tO succeed in Whatever he/she does。Unfortunately no one is always successful in all his/her life，not even such great people as Marx， Mao， Madam Currle and Einstein。。Different people hold different attitudes towards failure。 Some people become discouraged and are even defeated by failure， while some other people learn lessons from failure and continue their efforts。
There is no denying that failure is a bad thing， but "Bad things can turn to good things。"It all depends on how we deal with it。 If we are pessimistic， we will lose heart。 If we are optimistic， we will see hope。 I really have sympathy for those who， being badly hurt by failure， lose self-confidence and confidence in life。 However， I have even greater admiration for those who， being stimulated by failure， go on straight forward to achieve success。
I believe in the saying "Failure is the mother of success。"If I fail， I will try again， If I fail again， i will try and try again。

英语作文 篇9
It is known to all that crime rate is on the rise. The means of committing a crime is numerous and varied. Murder and robbery, not to speak of theft, are often seen. What causes crime rate to rise? I think the reasons are as follows:First, there exists the unfaisness in distribution. More work does not result in more pay. The tycoons are not hard-working people but profiteers. Some government officials abuse power and make public money their own.Second, the influence of violence and horror films on young people has a negative effect. The films and songs about love and revenge and friendship teach young people to give kiadness for kindness, hatred for hatred and tit for tat.Third, people tend to lose faith and belief. The traditional revolutionaly education has somewhat been abandoned. People talk less about patriotism but more about making money. The money-oriented people are cold and indifferent to each other.There are many social and economical reasons that cause crime rate to rise. The above mentioned are just a few. They are the dark side of human society. By the joint efforts of people both of rank and file we are sure to make a better world in which to live.
