成功的四个步骤 Four Steps to a SuccessfulThe first time in life? Then grasp your chance with your perfect performance on thedating night, by learning the following principle in heart.Dress properly. While everyone wants to give an impressive debut on the first date,you should avoid wearing something too bizarre to be accepted. If you are still inschool, a sportswear can fulfill your purpose. For businessman or grownups, casualclothes are recommended. Never put up your working uniforms,no matter how well youlike that Armani suit.It is no work. A few accessories such as a pair of sunglasses or silver loops on the wrist can add up to the romance sphere.Take a bath before dating. And if you like, spray a little perfume, but unless you＇re sure that he or she likes the smell,don＇ t use ones that are too strong.Watch your manner. You ＇ re no prince of the Scotland nor Cinderella in the legend.Proper manners will ensure a lasting relationship while bad ones scare away yoursweetheart. And do make sure you do not boast about your fortune, for, not everyoneare green addicts. And your way of smiling,or your greatestoath, should neither be "coy" nor "by St. Loy!" after the nun in Chaucer.Be a little sensitive than merely innocent. Do make sure you do not intrude his orher privacy on the first date. For there maybe something deeply concealed within the inner core of every heart, of which the owner doesn＇t share often with anyone buthis intimacy.Finally,wish you good luck.May you get your hearts combined and start a new journey in the miracle of life and love. Stay tuned till a borderline is reached, and keepon through out the whole way.我的宿舍生活 My Dormitory LifeCompared with the forty year old shabby dormitory I am living in now,the one I lived in for three years in high school was heaven: three students shared one brand newsuite with air conditioners and a bathroom.In three years time we changed it thoroughly:the color of the floor turned from bright pink into muddy gray, and the closet a hive of insects proliferating among piles ofrotten fruit.And our masterpiece was the bathroom, a never drying swampwhich served as the habitat of various kinds of mold, and even rodents, rats would occasionallytake the trouble to pay us a visit, and.., all three of us felt like sobbing whenwe at last had to say good bye to our lovely filthy dormitory. Maybe it is becausethat the dormitory had changed us as well as we＇ d changed it.The first lesson our dormitory taught us was to look after ourselves.Frankly speaking, we were not good students at all. I still remember the underwear that was soaked insoapy water for one and a half years before it was finally thrown away. Almost eachof the boys＇ dormitories had gradually developed its own unique"fragrance"usually a mixture of rotten fruit,unwashed socks,stunk towels and some junk food.We could tell one dormitory from another by sniffing instead of looking.Our tolerance towards untidiness was amazing.However,in spite of all this,we really did make some progress.Bit by bit,we started to wash dirty clothes before they stunk, cleaned the garbage bin when it could holdno more trash, we even used brushes in a not-sc-successful attempt to refurbish thefloor. The point was that we were not obeying any order, we did every bit of thecleaning for ourselves,because we wanted to live in a better place. Though nothingwe did could be called an achievement, it was the first time we fully bore theconsequences of our behavior, and took the responsibility.Thus it was not surprising that I often found myself the only one to clean up myuniversity dormitory which looked no better than a garbage bin when my roommates felt normal of it.Whentalking about our dormitory life,and probably all the dormitory life,we should never leave out one thing. This was what we called "bed talks". Though it was considered"illegal,"there was nothing to stop us from deliberately starting a heated discussion right after lights were out.It was our favorite and the only way of ending our day, and we were as punctual for it as our parents are for work. What was themost commontopic?Girls,of course!What other topics were there for three energetic adolescent males lying comfortably in bed? We judged them,ranked them, argued overthem night after night without feeling the slightest sense of boredom for three whole years. Were wemaniacs? Who is not a maniac at eighteen?大学英语的学习-Learning English at CollegeLearning English at college is different from learning English at middle school.In middle school,we learn English mainly for the entrance examination for college,while the purpose of learning English at college is quite different. We study foreignlanguages now to improve our ability to work in the future and especially to communicate with foreiguers.Howcan we learn English well at college?Firstly,you should try your best to enlarge your vocabulary. Only in this way can you read more smoothly and understand otherswell.Secondly,you should pay more attention to the listening and speaking abilityin learning English. While talking with foreigners, if you can＇ t understand them, and do not know how to express yourself,the talking will be very difficult.And the last point is that you should improve your English whenever and wherever you can.Obviously,there is still a long way for us to go to learn English well.As a proverb says,Never too old to learn.＇ There are so many methods to learn English.So long as you keep on studying, your English will surely be improved.电脑能代替纸笔吗?- 大学英语作文People often say we have entered the electronic age. Computers have become the center of life.No one can live and work without computers.In the future,everyone can work and study at home hefore a PC. There won＇ t be piles of files. Instead, a disc isOK enough.With the appearance of printers,the pen becomes less useful than before. And sincethe computer was created, paper is also gradually giving way to the screen, whichcan show lively moving things from different sides in the same picture. It is truethat with the developmem of science, such products as computers and printers willbe the major tools in our future life and work. But the traditional tools will also existfor a long time to supplement the function of the modern ones. At least, westill need pens to sign with and paper to sign on幸福是什么 -What Is Happiness?-Happiness means different things to different people. For example, some peoplebelieve that if they have lots of money, they will be happy. They believe that ifthey are wealthy,they will be able to do anything they want,which means happiness. On the other hand, some people believe that holding a high positionin the government is happiness. In this way, you have not onlymoney, but also manyother things which can＇ t be bought by money.However, other people believe that having lots of money is not happiness nor is holding a high position in the government. These people value their beliefs,or their intelligence, or their health. They think these can make them happy.For me, happiness is closely tied to my studies, my work and my family. When I madegreat progress in my studies, when I made contributions to the society through mywork,when all the members in my family live in harmony,sharing good and sad times, I was happy. Although the definition of happiness depends on each individual my"wealth" of happiness is in my studies, my work, and my family.6. 经济发展与环境保护 Economic Development and Envir.Some people believe that economic development should never be at the cost of the environment.They think the present serious environmental problems are largely caused by rapideconomic development. For example, land resources are shrinking because of theindustrial development and the expansion of cities. Deserts are spreading becauseof over grazing, poor fanning, tree cutting, and strip mining. Our air and watersupplies are being polluted by poisonous gassesand waste products.It is important, therefore, that we should take another look at the way in which our industries andcities are developing.However, other people think it unnecessary to consider environmental problems nowand our first priority should always be given to economic development.They believe that environmental problems are inevitable and unavoidable in the process of economic development.They are only the by products of economic development,which can be dealt with later when we have the time and money.I think the second idea is completelywrong.Our ultimate aim in economic development is to provide a comfortable and happy life for our people.What is the point of economic development if we achieve it at the cost of our environment? There has been muchevidence to prove that a balance between the two helps more rapid and continuous development.7. 树立目标的重要性 -The Importance of GoalWhy is goal-setting important? Because goals can help you do and experience everymeaningful thing you hope for in life. Instead of letting life happen to you, goalsallow you to make your life happen.Successful people have visions of what their life should be and they set lots of goals, both sbort-term and long-range, to help them realize the visions. By setting goalsyou are taking control of your life. It is like having a map to show where you want togo. A driver with an aim arrives at the destination without any waste of time orwrong turns. On the contrary, a driver with no aim drives aimlessly around, nevergetting anywhere and just using up gas and oil.Winners in life set goals and follow through on them. They decide what they want and then get there by making plans andsetting goals. Goals ara not difficult to set and they are not difficult to reach.It is up to you to find out what your goals, ideals and visions really are. With aclear direction, and with certain plans, you will straightly get what you want.Without a goal, you have to live a passive life. You do not know where to go, whatyou want and why you are listless.Then your life be comes dull and meaningless just like the dead water in a muddy lake.8. 如何保持健康 -How to Keep FitHealth is the guarantee of one＇ s happiness. Without a healthy body, one cannot dowhat he wants to, not to mention accomplishing his goals in life.One can keep fit in three ways. First, he is to pay attention to hygiene. Stay awayfrom viruses,which means one should wash hands,take baths frequently,eat and drink properly. Stay away from bad life habits, such as smoking and overworking, whichseverely damage the body organs. Secondly, one is to exercise regularly. He may gojogging, swimming, bicycling, playing basketball and so on. Exercises will improveone＇ s ability to resist diseases. And last but not least, he should be optimistic, fearing no difficulties and obstacles, and always being in high spirits.Only in good health as well as in high spirits can we greet the future,which is fullof competition and challenges, and strive to achieve our ambitions energetically.9. 如何减轻压力 -How to Reduce StressStress is an inevitable part in our normal life.Many kinds of things,such as natural disasters, war and death can cause too much stress in our life. But according to apsychologist,on a day-to-day basis,stress may result from the small things:taking an exam, waiting in line, and having too many things to do in a limited time.We all need stress to add flavor, challenge, and opportunity to life, but too muchstress can seriously affect our physical and mental well-being,It reduces the body＇s immunity and harms the brain,If the stress lasts a long time,it may cause physical illness, insomnia, headaches, backaches, ulcers, high blood pressure-even heartdisease.When stress does occur,it＇s important to recognize and deal with it.There ore some methods we can try. A large number of physical activities can reduce onxiety.Shoring our stress with others can be enormously helpful.Making time for fun such os listeningto music may be good medicine. Sometimes even crying is on efficient way to releosestress.10. 城市化利弊谈 -Advantages and Disadvantages of U.Urbanization has been a subject of heated discussion for a long time. Some peopleare in favor,while others are opposed.In my opinion,urbanization has both advantages and disadvantages.Generally,the advantages of urbanization can be listed as follows. First,urbanization can quicken our pace to catch up with the developed countries.We all know that the developed countries are all highly urbanized.Second, urbanization will help to solve the problem of unemployment.It will create more jobopportunities for the unemployed.In addition,urbanization will free a great number of farmers from the fields, thus realizing the dream of agricultural mechanizationin our country. Finally, urbanization can improve the standards of living of themigrants who move to the urban area.However,the disadvantages of urbanization are also obvious.To begin with,administration of the increasing population in urban area might be a greatchallenge to the government.Moreover, more problems,such as increasing crime rate, over crowding, might increase, since more people are concentrated in a relativelysmaller place.It is evident that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.Therefore,I am in favor of urbanization.11.逆境是成功的关键 -Adversity Often Leads to ProspeAdversity Often Leads to ProsperityEverybody wants to lead a successful life. But a number of people failed to realizetheir ambitions or their personal goals though they had dreamed of it throughout their whole lives. In order to succeed, one is required to have such personal qualitiesas diligence, persistence, intelligence, patience and so on. Besides them, I holdadversity is also one of the key factors and that it often leads to prosperity.The seemingly mistaken conclusion reveals the commonphcnomenon, People in adversity tend to express their full range of potential and actualize their own personal worth the very aim of a human life.And it is also supported by lots of successful people ＇s experiences both in old days and nowadays, both at home and abroad.During the Period of Chunqiu, the Emperor of the Yue,Gou Jian, was defeated by theWu and trapped in prison.Adversity stimulated him to revenge instead of discouraged him. Gou Jian hanged a gall and tasted it before sleep every day so as to keep thehumiliation and revenge always in mind.Owing to his undefeated qualities and persistent struggle,he defeated the Wuand drew himself from adversity to prosperityin the end.David Beckham, the captain of the English Soccer Team,was famous for his fascinating technique as well as his handsome appearance. He led England to defeat Argentina as a national revenge in the latest Korea Japan World Cup and he was regarded to be one of the five greatest football players in the world by Brazilian football star Robert Carlos.However,ten years ago,he was only an ordinary young player and was put in the second team of Man Utd.Once he was even lent to another team in English A by Ferguson and it seemed thathe would be abandoned as burden of his club someday. Beckham was not defeated by all the difficulties and he was sensible enough to make full use of adversity as an agent to push himself forward.He studied the combat, increased his stamina and strength, improved the technique and dribbling and trained the skill of passing and free kicking. As a result of his persistent and painstaking training, beginning with the famouswonderful goal from the centre circle in 1996, he brought himself a hot prospect.12.彩票的负面影响 - 大学英语作文Spare the LotteryLottery, booming all of a sudden all over the world, attracts all kinds of people.Nearly everybody,old or young, rich or poor,is right now trying his luck in lottery or is thinking of doing so.Despite many disputes that lottery is receiving,I still assume, personally, that lottery does mere good than harm.The worst effect caused by lottery,as many socialists indicate,is that it produces in people an idea of "gain without pain＇ .But at the same time, they neglect onepoint--it is human nature that people all expect to obtain most while offer least.The thought of "gain without pain" is buried in everyone＇ s heart and is not bredby lottery.Consequently, lottery is innocent in this way.But there still remain a large groupof people against lottery,among whomare some lottery addicts.Such people are fond of lottery but unfortunately luck is never fond of them. Finally, they end up incomplaining about lottery,declaring the great harm, both psychologically and economically lottery has done to them.In this case,the problem lies in the attitude of people, not lottery.Since the major two sorts of harm are not lottery＇ s fault,let＇ s have an objective look on lottery. For the society, lottery is the most practical way to accumulatefunds. For those who happen to win a large fortune, I think they can＇ t kiss their lottery enough.Also for those who have not a single chance to be lucky dogs,lottery can mutely tell them the truth of "no pains, no gains."Spare the lottery! It, in itself can do more good than harm.NO.11.现在大学校园里，迟到、早退、旷课是常见的现象2.保证学生的出勤率对大学教育的重要性3.作为一个大学生应该怎样做Attend Your Classes RegularlyNowadays it is a very common phenomenon that some university students are latefor or even absent from classes, and there are also some students who slip out ofthe classroom before the class is over. In a word, class attendance has become a thorny problem to both the students and teachers.In fact, it is very important for the students to attend their classes regularly. On one hand, it will ensure you to catch up with the teachers in your learning,which is very helpful to you if you want to do a good job in your study. On the other hand, attending classes regularly is a way of showing respect to your teachers, too. Your teachers will feel bad if the students do not attend their classes, which, in turn,will affect their teaching and be no good for the students. What’ s more, attending classes regularly will help to form a good habit of punctuality, which is of greatimportance for the students to do a good job in the future.Therefore, we university students should form the good habit of attending ourclasses regularly from now on. Besides, going to classes on time and listening tothe teacher attentively are also a must to us. I ’ m strongly convinced that some day we’ ll benefit from it.NO.21.学生给老师打分已经普遍2.人们对其持不同态度3.我的看法Students ’ Rating of Their TeachersNowadays, it has become as common in colleges and universities for students tograde teachers as for teachers to grade students. In some universities students’rating has even become the only standard for judging teaching effectiveness.This, however, has caused great controversy. Some are in favor of the ratingsystem, for they hold that since students attend the teachers’ classes every day,they have the right to rate their teachers about their teaching quality. Others,on the contrary,are strongly against it.They believe that there is much more to teaching than what is shown on students’ rating forms. Students should not be expected tojudge how well the teachers have done in their jobs, because these judgments require professional knowledge, which is best left for the teachers’ colleagues.In my opinion, students’ rating of their teachers is necessary, for it servesas their feedback from which their teachers can learn about their teaching effectiveness and the aspects in which they should improve themselves. Therefore,as long as this rating is conducted in a way that can really shed meaningful lighton teachers’ performance, it’ s worth advocating.NO.31.宿舍生活有时会出现不和谐的情况;2.一个和谐宿舍生活的必要性;3.如何创造和谐的宿舍生活。

1：How to keep healthyWhat is the most important thing in the world？ I think it is health。

You can take away our money, house， car， or even our clothes and we can survive。

But if our health was taken away， we would surely die。

That is why we always try to eat in a healthy way and exercise regularly.In order to eat healthily， I usually avoid eating food high in fat, like French fries or cookies. I also eat little meat。

I eat a lot of vegetables and fresh fruit which are full of vitamins。

Taking exercise every day helps us build a strong body。

Regular exercise is an important part of keeping me healthy。

What＇s more， I think friends are an important part of one＇s health。

Many studies show that people with a wide range of social contacts get sick less than those who don＇t。

I always feel better when I am with friends than when I am alone。

英语范文docxLearning a new language can be a challenging yet rewarding experience. English, in particular, has become a global language, spoken and understood by millions around the world. As a language that is widely used in various fields, from business and academia to entertainment and travel, mastering English can open up a world of opportunities.One of the primary reasons why learning English is so important is its role in the global economy. In today's interconnected world, businesses often operate across borders, and the ability to communicate effectively in English can be a significant advantage. Whether it's negotiating contracts, participating in international conferences, or communicating with clients and partners, proficiency in English can help individuals and organizations succeed in the global marketplace.Moreover, English is the dominant language in many academic and scientific communities. Many of the world's top universities and research institutions use English as the primary language ofinstruction and publication. Being able to read, write, and communicate in English can greatly enhance one's ability to access and contribute to the latest research and developments in various fields, from engineering and medicine to the humanities and social sciences.Beyond the professional and academic realms, English proficiency can also enrich one's personal and cultural experiences. With English as a common language, individuals can more easily connect with people from diverse backgrounds, explore different cultures, and engage in meaningful cross-cultural exchanges. This can lead to a greater understanding and appreciation of the world around us, as well as the opportunity to form lasting connections and friendships.Additionally, the widespread use of English in the entertainment industry, such as movies, television shows, music, and literature, allows individuals to access a vast array of content and engage with global popular culture. This can not only improve one's language skills but also provide insights into different perspectives, values, and ways of life.When it comes to the process of learning English, there are a variety of approaches and strategies that can be employed. One of the most effective methods is immersion, which involves surrounding oneself with the language as much as possible. This can be achieved throughactivities such as reading English-language books and newspapers, watching movies and TV shows in English, and engaging in conversations with native speakers.Another important aspect of learning English is developing a strong foundation in grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation. While these elements may seem daunting at first, consistent practice and the use of various learning resources, such as textbooks, online courses, and language apps, can help individuals steadily improve their language skills.It is also crucial to recognize that learning a language is an ongoing process, and progress may not always be linear. Setbacks and challenges are a natural part of the journey, and it is important to maintain a positive attitude and a willingness to learn from mistakes. Celebrating small victories and setting achievable goals can help learners stay motivated and continue to make progress.Furthermore, the use of English can vary greatly depending on the context and the purpose of communication. Developing an understanding of different styles and registers of English, such as formal, informal, academic, and conversational, can help individuals adapt their language use to different situations and audiences.In conclusion, the importance of learning English cannot beoverstated. As a global language, English proficiency can open doors to a wide range of personal, professional, and academic opportunities. By embracing the challenges and opportunities that come with learning English, individuals can not only improve their language skills but also broaden their horizons and deepen their understanding of the world around them. Whether one's goal is to advance in their career, pursue higher education, or simply engage in cross-cultural exchange, the mastery of the English language can be a transformative experience.。

Tucked away on an old side street in Wan Chai is a narrow little shop that is home to Maureen, a charming Chinese noodle shop that combines molecular gastronomy and slow cooking methods.To find it, it helps to know where the historic Blue House heritage building on Stone Nullah Lane is in Wan Chai. From the Blue House, head to the side street just a bit farther up, turn left, and you'll soon find Maureen.Maureen is named after Maureen Loh, the chef and owner. Originally from Hong Kong, she lived in Canada for many years before returning to open her namesake eatery.We spoke briefly to Maureen. Though she was very busy overseeing the kitchen, handling administrative duties and greeting guests, it was clear that she is very much a person who pays attention to details.Much thought has been put into the preparation as well as the presentation of the food here. The food served here uses few ingredients and isn't fussy, but it is not what would be called simple either.On a lunchtime visit, we decided to try the six-course noodle tasting menu (HK$180 ($23) for lunch).We started with tomatoes and Spanish Iberico ham.The cherry tomatoes had been marinated in balsamic vinegar, shallots and garlic. They were tangy and sweet and a perfect complement to the salty thin-sliced ham. This cold dish was followed by "the perfect egg", a 63 C poached egg served on top of delicately earthy mushroom "fluid gel" and bits of Chinese ham.The next dish, abalone and chicken, was sliced slow cooked chicken breast infused with lemon oil and grilled abalone served on a bed of truffle potato noodles.The cold potato slivers were made from partially cooked potatoes so they had a bit of crunch. Both the chicken and the abalone were tender, but for those who prefer stronger flavors, this dish needs a bit more of a punch. It had a good blend of textures, though.The grilled hoisin pork and Chinese Shaoxing wine egg with a rich molten yolk was served with a bowl of the signature noodles and a steaming bowl of Chinese broth.A dollop of foamed sesame oil is added at the table bringing the rich and dramatic fragrance of the oil to the dish. The noodles are made by a noodle master according to Maureen's requirements and are a cross between the northwestern Chinese dandan noodles and the southern Chinese thin wonton noodles. They are soft but had just the right degree of firmness.The restaurant also serves noodle sets on their a la carte menu.These are served dry-tossed in a shallot sauce with a bowl ofMSG-free homemade broth on the side.My dining companion chose the noodles salmon sous videCanto-style (HK$98) and was very happy with the tender salmon (cooked to medium) served on a bed of blanched mustard greens with soy sauce and a sprinkling of slivered green onion and ginger. Simple, full of flavor, and delicious.。

1:How to keep healthyWhat is the most important thing in the world? I think it is health.You can take away our money, house, car, or even our clothes and we can survive. But if our health was taken away, we would surely die. That is why we always try to eat in a healthy way and exercise regularly.In order to eat healthily, I usually avoid eating food high in fat, like French fries or cookies. I also eat little meat. I eat a lot of vegetables and fresh fruit which are full of vitamins. Taking exercise every day helps us build a strong body. Regular exercise is an important part of keeping me healthy. What＇s more, I think friends are an important part of one＇s health. Many studies show that people with a wide range of social contacts get sick less than those who don＇t. I always feel better when I am with friends than when I am alone. When I am with my friends, I always laugh. Laughing is also an important part of health. I like to laugh with my friend By eating properly and exercising regularly, I can keep my body at a proper weight and keep healthy. By spending time with my friends, I can keep my mind as well as my bodyhappy. these things sound easy to do, but not many people can manage them. I think a strong will is necessary if we want to keep healthy.如何保持健康什么是世界上最重要的事情吗?我认为这是健康的。
