作文

Directions:For this part, you’re allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay. You should start your essay with a brief description of the picture and then express your views on the importance of doing small things before undertaking something big. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.

(说明：此部分，你需要在30分钟内写出一篇短文。开头部分你应该对图画做一个简单的描述，然后对于“一屋不扫何以扫天下”表达自己的观点。短文字数必须在120到180字之间。)

【构思】

对白：

子：Dad, I'm a bit worried about disposing of nuclear waste（处理核废料）

“爸爸，我有点担心清除核武器这个问题”

父：If you can empty the dustbin（垃圾筒）here, you can do anything.

如果你能把垃圾桶倒掉，你就能坐好任何事情.

第一段，简单描绘图画内容，把父子两的对话移植到第一段，然后把父亲手指垃圾桶的动作描绘一下即可。第二段，主旨提炼并且论述。这幅图画很容易看出主题:做大事之前，要先做小事(一屋不扫，何以扫天下),而且

题目中其实早就已经透露了主题了(express your views on the importance of doing small things before undertaking something big.)因此，第二段通篇论述小事做起的重要性就可以了。属于作文三大分类之“积极主题，论述意义”。作文第三段，总结，启发。这一段再次强调小事做起的意义，我们不能低估他的威力。文章最后可以以名人名言作为结尾。

This is a funny and instructive picture. In the picture, there is a father talking with her son. Having heard his son said “ Dad, I am a bit worried about disposing of nuclear weapon.” The father replies that, “ If you can empty the dustbin here, you can do anything”, pointing the garbage can beside him.

Funny and common as the picture seems, however the implied meaning of this picture should be taken into consideration seriously. It reflects that the father intends to advise his son to do small things before undertaking the big. Unquestionably, doing small things is the first step of success. On the one hand, by doing something small, we can acquire experience, master skills and make ourselves to be more patient. On the other hand, we can be well prepared for further challenges in the course of fulfilling small things.

From my perspective, under no circumstances should we undervalue the power of doing small things. Only in this means can we achieve our goal finally. “Great achievement only belongs to those who can do small things perfectly.” Aristotle once said. (Words 190)

（这是一幅非常有趣但又十分有意义的图画。图画中一位父亲正在和儿子谈话。在听到儿子说，“爸爸，我有点担心清除核武器这个问题”之后，父亲指着垃圾桶说道，“如果你能把垃圾桶倒掉，你就能做好任何事情.”

尽管这幅图片看起来比较有趣而且很普通，但是图片的深层含义值得我们深思。它反映出父亲倾向于建议儿子在做大事前先从小事做起。毫无疑问，做小事是成功的开始。一方面，通过做小事我们可以获得经验、掌握技能并且锻炼自己更有耐心。另一方面，我们也可以在完成小事中为将来的挑战做好准备。

在我看来，在任何情况下我们都不应该低估做小事的作用。只有这样我们才能最终实现我们的目标。亚里士多德曾经说过，“伟大的成就只属于那些能完美的完成小事的人。”）

高考口语短文

第一套 第一份 Where does the honey come from? Bees live on food from flowers. When a bee rests on a flower, it tries to go to the center of it. There it takes in as much food as its body hold. Then it flies to take the food back to the hive. At the hive, bees change this flower food into honey. Then they fly away for more food. How do the bees know where to find the best food in the sweetest flowers? One bee acts as a guide. When it discovered good flowers, it flies back to the hive to tell the others. It does this by dancing for them. The bee dances on one side. This tells the other bees which way to go to find the flowers. But that is not all. The bee dances for some time. And the length of its dance tells the other bees how far they must fly to reach the flowers. When the bees see the dance, they know where the flowers are. Then fly away and return with more food for the hive. Without that dance we might never have sweet honey to eat.

1. No Pains, No Gains The height which great men reach and keep is not attained by a sudden flight. Most of us feel envious of the famous and successful people. We do not understand why they are so popular and honored while we are mere simple common folks. In our misconception, we think that people are prosperous because they are especially gifted or that they are “just lucky”. All these have taken root in our stubborn minds, and we refuse to believe that most great men have a mind which is the same as, or perhaps even simpler and duller than ours. Yet, their triumphs are great. Why? Because they are apt to fight difficulties with perseverance and without fatigue, undergo sufferings without minding the wounds; they realize that hardships form the road which they must pass through before reaching their destination. Their endurance is more powerful than that of ours for the simple reason that they submit without complaint to each storm in life. 2. Don’t Give Up If we would ever accomplish anything in life, let us not forget that we must persevere. If we would learn our lessons in school, we must be diligent and not give up whenever we come across anything difficult. We will find many of our lessons very hard, but let us consider that the harder they are the better they will be for us if we will persevere and learn them thoroughly. But there are some among us who are ready to give up when they come to a hard example in mathematics, and say, “I can’t do this.” They never will if they feel so. “I can’t” never does anything worthwhile; but “I’ll try” accomplishes wonders. Let us remember that we will meet with difficulties all through life. They are in the pathway of everyone. If we will only try and keep trying, we will be sure to conquer and overcome every difficulty we meet. If we have a hard lesson today, let us strive to learn it well and

雅思写作典型段落背诵

环境问题-- cause We can blame some environmental damage on ignorance or poverty, but most damage has nothing to do with either. A major cause of environmental problems is the fact that clean air, clean rivers, and other natural resources are public, not private, possession. In Aristotle’s words, “What is common to the greatest number gets the least amount of care.”Individually, we gain by using these resources and so, in our own interest, we keep doing so. Eventually, the resources are damaged or run out, and then society as a whole has to pay the cost. 空气污染—cause Industry is another major cause of air pollution. Burning coal, oil and wood release carbon dioxide and other gases into the atmosphere. This is called the greenhouse effect. The result of greenhouse effect is global warming. Many scientists believe that global warming will cause worldwide flooding due to rising sea levels and serious climate change. 能源短缺 Not everyone agrees with the idea of energy shortage. Some argue that the future will be better. They say that we will know better ways to control our environment and that technology will provide us with new resources. For example, solar energy will replace coal and oil. Plastic will replace tin and other metals. In fact, this has been happening for some time. However, producing some of these new resources may contribute to the second major environmental problem—pollution. 开头-男女平等 In today’s society, it is easy to say that women have the same rights as men. Women can vote, drive a car, go to school, and have any job they choose. However, are women and men really equal? The answer to that question might surprise you. 开头-科技的负面影响 When we speak of the impact of technology on society, we always talk about the positive effects of technology. We talk about the Internet as an information resource and a communication platform, but conveniently ignore the fact that an overexposure to it leads to Internet addiction. We often discuss how technology has made our life easy but easily forget that it has made us overly dependent on it. Have you ever thought of the negative impacts of technology? 举例-健康 Consider a party person who may show good social skills, but the habit of partying late at night can disturb his sleeping pattern, which in turn can affect his physical and mental health. Now, consider a person who religiously follows his diet and exercise, but ignores attending social events and interacting with friends. This lack of social mobility can also be bad for mental health as he may feel isolated, which may lead to depression. So, we can see that to be a healthy person not only requires a healthy body and mind, but also a healthy social life. The three factors are interdependent on each other. Being social—effects

英语口语背诵对话

Conversation one: M: Hello. Matt Ellis speaking. W: Hello, Dr. Ellis, my name’s Pan Johnson. My roommate, Janet Holmes, wanted me to call you. M: Janet Holmes? Oh, that’s right. She’s in my Shakespearean English class. Has anything happened to her? W: Noth ing, it’s just that she submitted a job application yesterday and the company asked her in for an interview today. She’s afraid she won’t be able to attend your class this afternoon though. I’m calling to see whether it would be OK if I gave you her essay. Janet said it’s due today. M: Certainly, that would be fine. Uh, you can either drop it off at my class or bring it to my office. W: Would it be all right to come by your office around 4:00? I’m afraid I can’t come any earlier because I have three classes this afternoon. M: Uh, I won’t be here when you come. I’m supposed to be at a meeting from 3:00 to 6:00, but how about leaving it with my secretary? She usually stays until 5:00. W: Fine, please tell her I’ll be there at 4:00. And Dr. Ellis, one more thi ng, could you tell me where your office is? Janet told me where your class is, but she didn’t give me directions to your office.

M: It was terrible at first, especially getting up before dawn to catch that 6:30 train. But it’s bearable now that I’ m used to it. W: Don’t you think it’s an awful waste of time? I couldn’t bear to spend three hours sitting in a train every day. M: I used to feel the same as you. But now I quite enjoy it. W: How do you pass the time? Do you bring some work with you to do on the train? M: Ah, that’s a good question. In the morning, I just sit in comfort and read the papers to catch up with the news. On the way home at night, I relax with a good book or chat with friends or even have a game of bridge. W: I suppose you know lots of people on the train now. M: Yes, I bumped into someone I know on the platform every day. Last week I came across a couple of old school friends and we spend the entire journey in the bar. W: It sounds like a good club. You never know. I may join it too.

小学六年级上册需背诵课文段落与单元作文范文

小学六年级上册需背诵课文段落 《山中访友》李汉荣 走出门，就与微风撞了个满怀，风中含着露水和栀子花的气息。早晨，好清爽！ 不坐车，不邀游伴，也不带什么礼物，就带着满怀的好心情，踏一条幽径，独自去访问我的朋友。 那座古桥，是我要拜访的第一个老朋友。啊,老桥，你如一位德高望重的老人，在这涧水上站了几百年了吧？你把多少人渡过对岸，滚滚河水流向远方，你弓着腰，俯身凝望着那水中的人影、鱼影、月影。岁月悠悠，波光明灭，泡沫聚散，唯有你依然如旧。 走进这片树林，鸟儿呼唤我的名字，露珠与我交换眼神。每一棵树都是我的知己，它们迎面送来向无边的青翠，每一棵树都在望着我。我靠在一棵树上，静静地，仿佛自己也是一棵树。我脚下长出的根须，深深扎进泥土和岩层；头发长成树冠，胳膊变成树枝，血液变成树的汁液，在年轮里旋转、流淌。 这山中的一切，哪个不是我的朋友？我热切地跟他们打招呼：你好，清凉的山泉！你捧出一面明镜，是要我重新梳妆吗？你好，汩汩（gǔ）的溪流！你吟诵着一首首小诗，是邀我与你唱和吗？你好，飞流的瀑布！你天生的金嗓子，雄浑的男高音多么有气势。你好，陡峭的悬崖！深深的峡谷衬托着你挺拔的身躯，你高高的额头上仿佛刻满了智慧。你好，悠悠的白云！你洁白的身影，让天空充满宁静，变得更加湛蓝。喂，淘气的云雀，叽叽喳喳地在谈些什么呢？我猜你们津津乐道的，是飞行中看到的好风景。 捡起一朵落花，捧在手中，我嗅（xiù）到了大自然的芬芳清香；拾一片落叶，细数精致的纹理，我看到了它蕴含的生命的奥秘，在它们走向泥土的途中，我加入了这短暂而别有深意的仪式；捧起一块石头，轻轻敲击，我听见远古火山爆发的声浪，听见时间隆隆的回声。 忽然，雷阵雨来了，像有一千个侠客在天上吼叫，又像有一千个醉酒的诗人在云头吟咏。满世界都是雨，头顶的岩石像为我撑起的巨伞。我站立之处成了看雨的好地方，谁能说这不是天地给我的恩泽？ 雨停了，幽谷里传出几声犬（quǎn）吠，云岭上掠过一群归鸟。我该回家了。我轻轻地挥手，告别山里的朋友，带回了满怀的好心情、好记忆，还带回一路月色。 《詹天佑》 詹天佑不怕困难，也不怕嘲笑，毅然接受了任务，马上开始勘（kān）测线路。哪里要开山，哪里要架桥，哪里要把陡坡铲平，哪里要把弯度改小，都要经过勘测，进行周密计算。詹天佑经常勉励工作人员，说：?我们的工作首先要精密，不能有一点儿马虎。‘大概’‘差不多’这类说法不应该出自工程人员之口。?他亲自带着学生和工人，扛着标杆，背着经纬（wěi）仪，在峭壁上定点、测绘。塞外常常狂风怒号，黄沙满天，一不小心还有坠入深谷的危险。不管条件怎样恶劣，詹天佑始终坚持在野外工作。白天，他攀山越岭，勘测线路；晚上，他就在油灯下绘图、计算。为了寻找一条合适的线路，他常常请教当地的农民。遇到困难，他总是想：这是中国人自己修筑的第一条铁路，一定要把它修好；否则，不但那些外国人要讥笑，而且会使中国的工程师失掉信心。 铁路要经过很多高山，不得不开凿隧（suì）道，其中居庸关和八达岭两个隧道的工程最艰巨。居庸关山势高，岩层厚，詹天佑决定采用从两端同时向中间凿进的办法。山顶的泉水往下渗（shan），隧道里满是泥浆。工地上没有抽水机，詹天佑就带头挑着水桶去排水。他常常跟工人们同吃同住，不离开工地。八达岭隧道长一千一百多米，有居庸关隧道的三倍长。他跟老工人一起商量，决定采用中部凿井法，先从山顶往下打两口竖井，再分别向两头开凿。外面两端也同时施工，把工期缩短了一半。 铁路经过青龙桥附近，坡度特别大。火车怎么才能爬上这样的陡坡呢？詹天佑顺着山势，

英语口语背诵文章

Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life. Youth means a tempera-mental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20. Nobody grows old merely by a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spring back to dust. Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being’s heart the lure of wonder, the unfailing childlike appetite of what’s next and the joy of the game of living.In the center of your heart and my heart there is a wireless station: so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from men and from the Infinite, so long are you young. When the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old, even at 20, but as long as your aerials are up, to catch waves of optimism, there is hope you may die young at 80 青春不是年华，而是心境；青春不是红润的脸颊和嘴唇以及灵巧的腿脚，而是深沉的意志，恢宏的想象，炙热的情感；青春是生命的深泉在涌流。青春气贯长虹，勇锐盖过怯弱，进取压倒苟安。如此锐气，二十后生反而不如六旬男子多见。年岁有加，并非垂老，理想丢弃，方堕暮年。岁月悠悠，衰微只及肌肤；热忱抛却，颓废必致灵魂。忧烦，惶恐，丧失自信，定使心灵扭曲，意气如灰。无论年届花甲，拟或二八芳龄，心中皆有生命之欢乐，奇迹之诱惑，孩童般天真久盛不衰。人人心中皆有一台天线，只要你从天上人间接受美好、希望、欢乐、勇气和力量的信号，你就青春永驻，风华常存。一旦天线下降，锐气便被冰雪覆盖，玩世不恭、自暴自弃油然而生，即使年方二十，实已垂垂老矣；然则只要树起天线，捕捉乐观信号，你就有望在八十高龄告别尘寰时仍觉年轻。
