我们也有共同之处英语作文

我们也有共同之处英语作文Sure, here's a casual English essay without explicit transitions:---。

So, here's the thing: we might not realize it at first, but trust me, we've got some common ground. Take a moment, think about it. We're like pieces of a puzzle, fitting together in unexpected ways.Ever notice how we both have this love for late-night snacks? I mean, who can resist the allure of a midnight snack? Whether it's a slice of pizza or a handful of chips, there's something about that late-night hunger that just hits differently.But it's not just about food, you know? We're also both suckers for a good story. I'm talking about those moments when you get lost in a book or a movie, completelyforgetting about the world around you. It's like we both have this innate curiosity, this craving for adventure and imagination.And hey, let's not forget about our shared appreciation for music. Whether it's blasting our favorite tunes in the car or getting lost in the rhythm of a live concert,there's something about music that speaks to both of us on a deeper level.Oh, and can we talk about our mutual love for procrastination? I mean, why do today what you can put off until tomorrow, am I right? It's like we both have this talent for pushing things to the last minute, thriving under the pressure of a looming deadline.But amidst all these similarities, there's one thing that truly unites us: our ability to laugh. Whether it's sharing a silly joke or reminiscing about hilarious memories, laughter has this incredible power to bring us together, bridging the gaps between us with pure joy.So yeah, maybe we come from different backgrounds, different walks of life. But deep down, we're not so different after all. We're just two souls, navigating this crazy journey called life, finding solace in the little things that connect us.。

有关花在社交媒体上过多时间的英语作文

有关花在社交媒体上过多时间的英语作文全文共3篇示例，供读者参考篇1Too Much Time on Social MediaMy name is Tommy and I'm 10 years old. I love playing video games, reading comic books, and hanging out with my friends. But there's one thing I've been doing way too much of lately –spending time on social media.It all started when I got my first smartphone for my 9th birthday last year. At first, it was really exciting being able to play games, watch videos, and text my friends whenever I wanted. But then I discovered social media apps like TikTok, Instagram, and Snapchat. That's when things started to go downhill.In the beginning, I would only spend a little bit of time each day scrolling through the apps, watching funny videos, and looking at memes. My parents didn't seem too worried about it. But after a while, I found myself getting obsessed with checking for new notifications and updates every few minutes. I just couldn't put my phone down!Whenever I was bored, like waiting for the school bus or in between classes, I would immediately pull out my phone and start mindlessly scrolling. I was spending hours every day staring at that little screen. And the crazy thing is, I didn't even realize how much time I was wasting until my mom pointed it out."Tommy, you're always on that phone! Don't you want to go outside and play for a while?" she would say. But I would just ignore her, too absorbed in the latest viral dance challenge on TikTok. My grades started slipping because I could never focus on my homework. I was staying up way too late at night scrolling through Instagram. I was even using my phone at the dinner table until my dad made a rule that phones weren't allowed.Honestly, social media was starting to take over my life. I was obsessed with getting more likes, comments, and followers on my posts. I would agonize over what photos and videos to share, trying to come up with something that would go viral. Sometimes I would even get mad if a post didn't get as much attention as I thought it deserved.The worst part was, the more time I spent on social media, the worse I felt about myself. I was constantly comparing my life to the perfect, filtered lives of social media influencers. Their fancy vacations, designer clothes, and huge mansions made mefeel like a loser. Not to mention all the negative comments from internet trolls telling me I was ugly or stupid. It really messed with my self-esteem.After a while, my parents decided to have an intervention. They sat me down and explained how dangerous and unhealthy my social media addiction had become. They showed me some shocking statistics – like how kids who spend more than 3 hours per day on social media are more likely to have problems sleeping, be less physically active, and suffer from depression and anxiety.That's when it finally hit me. I was letting these silly apps control my life in an incredibly negative way. All the time I wasted staring at a screen was time I could have spent playing outside, reading books, or working on my hobbies. My parents weren't trying to be mean, they just wanted me to have a happier, healthier childhood.From that day on, I decided to make some serious changes. First, I deleted all the social media apps from my phone. It was really hard at first and I missed that dopamine rush of getting likes and comments. But eventually, that feeling wore off and I realized how freeing it was to not be constantly tied to my phone.Next, I made an effort to be more present in the moment. When I was hanging out with friends, I would actually listen and engage in conversations instead of having my face buried in a screen. I started reading paper books again instead of juste-books and articles online. I took up new hobbies like skateboarding, painting, and playing guitar.Honestly, life is so much better when you're not obsessed with social media. Don't get me wrong, I still use my phone and go online. But now I have much healthier limits. I only allow myself 30 minutes per day on websites and apps. And there's no more mindless scrolling – if I go online, it's for a specific reason like doing homework research or sending a text to a friend.My advice to other kids my age? Be careful about how much time you spend on social media. Those apps are literally designed to be massively addictive so you'll stay glued to the screen for hours. They want your attention so they can bombard you with ads and make money.Remember that social media is fake! Those picture-perfect images you see aren't reality. A lot of what you're seeing has been edited, filtered, or staged to seem way cooler than it actually is. Comparing yourself to that will only make you feel crappy about your own life.Most importantly, don't let social media take away from spending time on the things and people that really matter. Your family, your friends, your hobbies, your education – those are what you should be focusing on, not trying to get more likes on an Instagram post.Social media is okay in small doses, but too much of it is harmful, especially for kids and teens. So be smart, stay balanced, and don't let it take over your life like it almost did to me. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to put down my phone and actually go play outside!篇2Too Much Time on ScreensHey there! My name is Jamie and I'm in 5th grade. I wanted to talk to you about something that's been on my mind a lot lately - how much time kids my age spend looking at screens and being on social media. It's kind of crazy if you think about it!I have to admit, I'm hooked on a few different apps and websites myself. Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Roblox, you name it. I could spend hours upon hours scrolling through videos, looking at memes, or watching other kids play online games.Sometimes I get sucked into endless rabbit holes until my mom has to pry my eyes away from the screen.At first, social media was just a fun way to pass the time and see what my friends were up to. But lately, I've started to notice how much it distracts me from other stuff. Like doing my homework, reading books, or just hanging out with family. Instead of focusing, my mind drifts and I start daydreaming about getting back online. It's becoming an obsession!I've heard my parents complaining about how much screen time I get. "Jamie is always on that darn phone!" my dad will grumble. Or my mom will say "I had to ask you three times to set the table because you were glued to the iPad again." They just don't understand how hard it is to unplug!At school, things aren't much better. I see kids fighting to get a spot at the back of the classroom so they can secretly browse on their phones during lessons. Some kids even wear hoodies and hide AirPods under their hoods so they can watch shows instead of paying attention. We're supposed to be learning, but social media has our brains fried!I'm starting to think this obsession with being online all the time isn't healthy. For one thing, my eyes feel super strained after hours of scrolling and watching videos. Sometimes I getheadaches or my back and neck get sore from hunching over devices. I've heard that too much blue light before bedtime can really mess up your sleep schedule too. No wonder I've been so tired lately!Spending literal days and days of my life staring at a screen makes me feel kind of sad when I think about it. Isn't there more to childhood than that? I remember when I was younger, before I had a phone or tablet, how much time I spent running around outside. Building forts, having adventures, using my imagination. Now, I'm lucky if I go out to the backyard for an hour on a nice day. The real world has gotten a bit boring compared to my digital world.That's another thing - social media creates this weird distorted view of reality. All I see are pictures of my friends and celebrities looking perfect, doing cool things, being funny or stylish or awesome. Then I look at my normal, average life and it seems lame by comparison. I've started feeling reallyself-conscious about how I look and act compared to what I see online. Is that healthy for a kid to be thinking about so much?And don't get me started on all the negativity, fights, and bullying that goes on via apps and social platforms. It's just a breeding ground for drama, hurt feelings, and talking badlyabout each other behind everyone's backs. No wonder so many kids struggle with anxiety, low self-esteem and being left out these days. We're soaking in those bad vibes constantly.I have a younger sister who's just starting to discover social media, and it makes me sad. I don't want her getting hooked and obsessed with living in the online world at such a young age. Those innocent childhood years are so precious! Kids should be spending their time using their creativity, being physically active, reading books and learning. Not wasting away in front of a screen.I'm trying to be better about limiting my screen time, but it's really difficult. Social media is designed to be addictive - the more you use it, the more you crave it. Every time I put my phone away, I get anxious thoughts about missing out on what's happening online. It's like aloneness and disconnection from the digital world freaks me out! I don't want to become one of those zombie kids who can't go 5 minutes without Snapchatting or watching a YouTube video.So I'm going to make an effort to be more balanced. Do my homework first before allowing myself screen time as a reward. Put my devices away at least an hour before bed to help me sleep better. Get outside and move my body every day - ridebikes, play sports, go to the park. Pick up hobbies that don't involve screens, like crafting, coding, painting, playing music. Read books for fun again like I used to.And most importantly, be present with my family and friends in the real world. Have face-to-face conversations, make eye contact, share genuine moments and laughs together. Take a break from my digital life and appreciate this real life I'm actually living in the moment. Because childhood is happening right now - and I don't want to miss it happening through a screen.I hope other kids my age can find that balance too. Because as awesome as tech and social media can be, there's so much more to life than ambient blue light and thumbing through an infinite feed. We've got to unplug sometimes and go experience the real world out there! Now if you'll excuse me, I've got to go play outside.篇3Too Much Screen TimeHi, my name is Emma and I'm 10 years old. I love playing outside, reading books, and hanging out with my friends. But sometimes I find myself spending wayyy too much time staring at my phone or tablet. My parents are always telling me to "getoff those screens!" and I know they're right. Spending too much time on social media and playing video games isn't good for me. Let me tell you why.First of all, it's really unhealthy. My eyes get so tired from staring at those bright screens for hours. Sometimes I get headaches too. And can you believe that some studies have shown that too much screen time can mess with your sleep? I need my energy to run around at recess! My mom says the blue light from devices can keep you awake at night. No thanks!It's also terrible for my posture. You should see me when I'm scrolling on my phone - I'm all hunched over with my neck bent down. My back hurts after just an hour of doing that. My dad jokes that I'll be a hunchback if I don't stop. Not a good look!And you know what else? Too much social media can really bring you down emotionally. I follow a lot of my friends and classmates online, and sometimes I get majorly jealous seeing them having fun without me. Or I'll feel left out when it seems like everyone got invited to a party except me. It's not a good feeling. Social media can make you feel bad about yourself too. You see all these influencers and models with perfect looks and lives and you start comparing yourself to them. That's just not healthy thinking.Spending hours mindlessly scrolling on apps like TikTok and Instagram is also a huge waste of time. There's so much better stuff I could be doing! I could be playing outside, reading, making art, learning a new skill - the list goes on. Wasting beautiful sunny days just zoning out in front of a screen bums me out. Productive stuff is so much more satisfying than zoning out watching silly videos (even though some of them ARE pretty hilarious).My bad social media habits can hurt my schoolwork too. I've gotten in trouble a few times for being distracted and going on my phone during class. Not cool! And sometimes I put off my homework to browse online instead. By the time I finally get around to it, I'm tired and don't do a great job. My grades have suffered because of it. Not worth it!Social media can also be an ugly place sometimes. I've seen people leaving harsh comments on each others' photos and videos. Name-calling, bullying, being excludey - it's not ok. I always feel crummy after seeing that kind of meanness online. It's easy to be a jerk from behind a screen when you don't have to see the person's face. I try not to engage with any of that nastiness.But you know, it's not all bad! Social media can actually be pretty cool when you use it the right way. Staying in touch with far-away friends and relatives is great. And I love being able to share my artwork, creative writing, or videos I've made. Getting supportive comments and likes from others feels amazing. I've learned some awesome new skills from educational accounts too. Social media can definitely have benefits.The key is balance and self-control. I need to be way more mindful of my screen time. Maybe I'll set a timer to limit myself each day. Or leave my devices in another room for a while. It's about making healthier choices and not letting social media control me. Everything in moderation, ya know?Instead of giving in to that easy dopamine hit of going on socials, I want to challenge myself to find other ways to chill and have fun. Going for a bike ride, playing at the park, reading an awesome book, painting or drawing, writing stories, making up dances with my friends - the possibilities are endless when I'm not just zoning out on a screen. Who knows, maybe I'll take up a new hobby or sport!Talking to my parents about my social media use has helped too. We had some good discussions about being more intentional with my time online. Now I'm trying to cut back onmindless browsing and be more purposeful and creative instead. Like posting book reviews, sharing my artwork, or keeping my grandparents updated with fun life updates. My parents were proud of me for recognizing my problem and wanting to make a change.At the end of the day, technology and social media aren't going anywhere. They can definitely be useful tools when used the right way. But nothing beats actual face-to-face interaction and real-world experiences. That's where the true magic of life happens - not through a screen. As long as I have balance, social media can have a place in my life without controlling me. Wish me luck!。

Unit One:大一新生日记星期日1 从家里出发后，我们开车开了很长一段时间才到达我住的宿舍楼。

我进去登记。

宿舍管理员给了我一串钥匙,并告诉了我房间号。

我的房间在6楼，可电梯坏了。

等我们终于找到8号房间的时候,妈妈已经涨红了脸，累得上气不接下气。

我打开门锁，我们都走了进去。

2 但爸爸马上就从里面钻了出来。

这个房间刚刚够一个人住，一家人都进去，肯定容不下。

我躺在床上，不动弹就可以碰到三面墙。

3 幸亏我哥哥和我的狗没一起来。

4 后来，爸爸妈妈就走了，只剩下我孤零零一个人。

周围只有书和一个箱子。

接下来我该做什么呢？星期一5 早上，有一个为一年级新生举办的咖啡早茶会。

我见到了我的导师，他个子高高的，肩膀厚实，好像打定了主意要逗人开心。

6 “你是从很远的地方来的吗？”他问我。

他边说话边晃动脑袋，咖啡都洒到杯托里了。

7 “我家离爱丁堡不太远，开车大约6 个小时,”我说。

8 “好极了！”他说，接着又走向站在我旁边的那个女孩儿。
