Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.领袖和跟风者的区别就在于创新。
Innovation has no limits. The only limit is your imagination. It's time for you to begin thinking out of the box. If you are involved in a growing industry, think of ways to become more efficient; more customer friendly; and easier to do business with. If you are involved in a shrinking industry – get out of it quick and change before you become obsolete; out of work; or out of business. And remember that procrastination is not an option here. Start innovating now!创新无极限！只要敢想，没有什么不可能，立即跳出思维的框框吧。

If you can speak and understand Chinese, you'll be able to communicate with a huge number of people from all over the world.That can come in really handy when you travel to amazing places like Beijing or Shanghai on vacation with your family. Instead of just smiling and nodding when locals talk to you, you could actually understand what they're saying and respond back to them. You might make some new friends or at least be able to order your favorite foods more easily.Speaking Chinese can also help a ton if you ever want to work or do business in China when you're older. China has a massive economy that is only getting bigger and bigger. Knowing the language will make it way easier to get a good job or run a successful company over there. You'd be ahead of all your competition!Plus, the culture behind the Chinese language is just so fascinating and goes back thousands of years.

It's magic!Speaking of magic, did you know that in China, people actually believe that learning their language can make you smarter? They say it gives your brain a great workout trying to wrap it around the complicated tones and writing system. I'm not sure if that's completely true, but learning Chinese does at least keep my mind busy.Whenever I'm speaking or reading in Chinese, I feel like I'm giving my brain a vigorous workout at the gym. My brain has to lift really heavy tones and rearrange unusual word orders. No wonder kids who speak multiple languages tend to get higher test scores!At the end of the day, learning any new language is just an all-around great idea.

Today I want to talk about why it's really really important for people from other countries to learn the Chinese language. Chinese is super cool and useful, so everybody should try to learn it!First off, Chinese is one of the most widely spoken languages in the whole world. Over a billion people speak some form of Chinese as their first language. That's way more than any other language! If you can speak Chinese, you can talk to sooooo many people from all over. You can make lots of new friends and learn about their cultures and customs. My Chinese teacher says thatbeing able to communicate in multiple languages opens doors to the wider world. I think that's really neat!Secondly, China is becoming a bigger and bigger deal economically and politically. It has one of the largest economies in the world now. Tons of international companies do business in China or with Chinese companies. If you want to work for those businesses when you grow up, knowing Chinese will make you a much stronger candidate. My parents always tell me that having skills that make me stand out from the crowd is super important for getting a good job later on. Well, Chinese fluency is definitely a skill that would help me stand out!China also plays a major role in world affairs these days. Plenty of important global decisions involve China in some way. By learning Chinese, you can better understand news and information coming out of that hugely influential country. My teacher showed us examples of things that got mistranslated or misunderstood because of language barriers with Chinese sources. Those mistakes caused a lot of confusion! If more people could speak and understand Chinese fluently, those kinds of mix-ups wouldn't happen as often. Pretty cool, right?Another awesome reason to learn Chinese is that it gives you a window into one of the world's most ancient and fascinatingcultures. China has traditions going back thousands and thousands of years. Its history, philosophies, arts, and customs are so rich and interesting to explore. However, a lot of the depth and beauty can get lost if you don't understand the nuances of the Chinese language. It's kind of like looking at a breathtaking painting through a dirty window - the experience just isn't quite the same. By taking the time to learn Chinese, you can fully immerse yourself in the wonders of Chinese culture. As a Chinese language learner myself, I'm constantly amazed by how much more I can appreciate and connect with Chinese culture compared to before I started studying the language.Plus, doing anything that exercises your brain is great for growing those critical thinking muscles! Chinese is considered one of the most challenging languages for native English speakers to pick up. Having to learn a whole new writing system, set of grammar rules, and way of putting sentences together really gives your noggin' a workout. My grandpa says that's one of the main reasons he took up Chinese in his retirement - to keep his mind active and nimble. The mental work required to master Chinese helps strengthen your ability to analyze complex ideas from multiple angles. Those are invaluable skills for tackling pretty much any subject or obstacle in life.I could honestly go on and on with reasons why Chinese is awesome to learn, but I'd probably end up writing a whole book! The core idea is that Chinese profiency provides unlimited potential for connecting with others, understanding the world we live in today, absorbing rich cultural traditions, building your brain power, and setting yourself apart in a competitive job landscape. What's not to love about that?Of course, Chinese isn't an easy language to pick up initially - the tones, characters, and unfamiliar grammar make it super challenging, especially for us native English speakers. But anything worth doing in life requires hard work and dedication. My mom is always saying "No pain, no gain!" The rewards of being bilingual and bicultural are just so tremendous that it's totally worth the effort of studying this important world language.So to all my foreign friends out there, I'd highly encourage you to start learning Chinese if you haven't already! It will open up vast opportunities for communicating, appreciating diverse cultures, expanding your professional prospects, and giving your brain an awesome workout. It may seem daunting at first, but stick with it and I promise the payoffs will be incredible. You'llemerge as a true citizen of this increasingly interconnected world we live in.All right, that's my passionate plea for why everyone should try their hand at Chinese! Let me know if you have any other questions. I may just be a kid, but I'm a proud Chinese language student who can't get enough of this rich and captivating languag e. Thanks for reading, and zhù nǐmen chéngōng - best wishes to you all!篇3Learning Chinese is Super Important for Foreigners!Hi, my name is Emma and I'm 10 years old. Today I want to tell you all about why it's really really important for people from other countries to learn the Chinese language.First off, Chinese is spoken by more people than any other language in the world! There are over 1.3 billion Chinese speakers across the world. That's way more than English speakers. If you can speak Chinese, you can communicate with way more people. It opens up so many opportunities.China also has one of the biggest economies in the world now. It's a major world superpower. Many huge companies are based in China like Alibaba, Tencent, and Huawei. If you want todo business with Chinese companies or work for them, you need to know Chinese. Learning the language gives you a massive advantage in the job market.But it's not just about jobs and money. China is an ancient civilization with an amazingly rich culture and history dating back thousands of years. There are so many fascinating Chinese traditions, philosophies, stories, and works of art. If you can't understand the language, you'll miss out on fully experiencing and appreciating all of that cultural richness.My parents always say that learning a new language helps develop your brain too. It improves your ability to focus, memorize things, be creative, and see things from multiple perspectives. The Chinese writing system with all those complex characters is great mental exercise! It literally makes you smarter.Chinese sounds really cool and unique too. The tones make it very melodic and expressive. I love the sound of words like "ni hao" and "xie xie". But it's also crazy difficult for English speakers to learn to speak Chinese properly. That's why it's best to start young when your brain is like a super-absorbent sponge for languages.Maybe the coolest thing about Chinese is that it's an invaluable key to connect with over a billion people across theglobe. China is such an important country now, and Chinese culture is influencing the world more and more. By learning the language, you can be part of that global community andcross-cultural exchange.My Chinese friends say it makes them really happy when foreigners put in the hard work to learn their language. They feel that their culture is respected. It brings people together and facilitates understanding between East and West. We live in an era of globalization where people are interacting more than ever before across countries. Speaking Chinese is going to be crucial for international cooperation and solving worldwide challenges.Of course, Chinese is ridiculously hard to learn, especially the writing system. The pronunciation and tones are really tricky too. Many foreigners give up because it's just too difficult andtime-consuming. But I still think it's absolutely worth the effort! It offers so many potential benefits in terms of careers, cultural appreciation, mental development, and bringing people together globally. Those who make the commitment to master Chinese will have a major advantage and skill for the 21st century world.That's why my parents are making me study Chinese starting from kindergarten. At first it was just little stuff like learning thetones and simple words. Now I can read and write basic sentences. My Chinese still isn't amazing, but I'm working really hard to improve little by little. I'm determined to become fluent while I'm still young and my brain can soak it up effectively. It will open up a world of opportunities for me and help me make friends across cultures.So in conclusion, learning Chinese is incredibly important and valuable for non-Chinese people, especially kids. It may be one of the hardest languages for English speakers, but it's so widely spoken and so useful. It unlocks appreciation for a fascinating ancient culture, improves your brain power, and connects you to over a billion people. Those are just some of the biggest reasons why Chinese should be a priority language to learn. It may seem like an impossible challenge, but kids like me are the proof that it can be done with enough hard work and dedication from an early age. Mark my words - being bilingual in English and Chinese is going to be an amazing skill and advantage throughout the 21st century! Everyone should try their best to learn this important world language.篇4Why Foreigners Should Learn ChineseHi, my name is Tommy and I'm going to tell you all about why it's a great idea for people from other countries to learn Chinese. Chinese is a super cool language that a lot of people around the world are interested in learning these days. Let me explain some of the main reasons why.First of all, Chinese is spoken by more people than any other language on Earth! Over 1.3 billion people speak some form of Chinese as their native tongue. That's about one out of every five humans. Chinese has a ton of speakers concentrated in the countries of China, Taiwan, Singapore and lots of other places too. So if you want to be able to communicate with a huge chunk of the world's population, learning Chinese is your ticket.But it's not just about the numbers. China itself is a massively important country in pretty much every way you can think of. It has the second biggest economy after the United States and it's growth has been nuts over the past few decades. Tons of business gets done in China and with Chinese companies, so understanding the language gives you a big leg up in that field. China also plays a major role in politics, technology, manufacturing, you name it. Knowing Chinese allows you to tap into that world in a much deeper way.Learning Chinese can also open a lot of doors for traveling and cultural exchange. China is an ancient civilization with an incredibly rich history, amazing historical sites, customs, cuisine, and more. If you speak even a little Chinese, it makes it so much easier to travel there, interact with locals, and fully experience everything China has to offer. You could make Chinese friends, job connections, you never know what opportunities it might lead to!Another awesome benefit of learning Chinese is that it gives your brain a great workout. Chinese is very different from English and uses a totally unique writing system of logographic characters rather than an alphabet. Mastering the tones, grammar, and writing is a serious mental challenge that helps stretch your language skills. Once you put in the hard work of learning Chinese, picking up other languages gets a lot easier too. It leaves your brain topped up and ready to take on new linguistic challenges.I could go on, but those are some of the biggest reasons why learning Chinese is such a valuable pursuit in today's world, especially for us kids. It connects you to a huge number of people, one of the world's most important countries and economies, amazing travel and cultural opportunities, and givesyour brain a huge boost. The earlier you start learning it, the better you'll be able to master this immensely useful language.Of course, Chinese isn't an easy language for English speakers to pick up. The tones, characters, and completely different grammar make it one of the toughest languages out there. It takes a ton of effort, discipline, and patience. But stick with it, keep practicing, and the payoff makes it 100% worth it in my opinion. Every little bit of Chinese you learn opens new doors and opportunities.So let's get out there and start learning Chinese everyone! Ask your parents to sign you up for classes, use language learning apps, or see if any of your friends' families can help get you started. The world is becoming more connected than ever before, and being multilingual is a key skill for succeeding in this global era. Chinese should definitely be one of the languages you set your sights on. It's challenging for sure, but I'm confident you've got what it takes to start mastering it.Just think about how awesome it would be to watch Chinese TV, read Chinese books, travel to China, or even get a job someday using your fierce Chinese language skills! That's the great thing about learning languages – it connects you to new people and amazing experiences you could never fully accessotherwise. Chinese is your ticket to connect with over a billion people and engage with one of the world's most vital economies and cultures.What are you waiting for? Let's get out there and get learning Chinese together. I'll race you to become fluent! Just watch, pretty soon you'll be speaking, reading, and writing Chinese like a pro. Then we can put those skills to use and dive deep into everything the Chinese-speaking world has to offer. It's going to be an amazing journey, I can't wait!篇5Why Foreigners Should Learn ChineseHave you ever heard someone speaking a language you don't understand? It sounds like gibberish, right? Just a bunch of funny sounds all jumbled together. Well, that's how Chinese must sound to people who don't speak it. But Chinese isn't gibberish at all - it's a real language spoken by over 1 billion people!Learning Chinese is super important, especially for foreigners. You might be wondering, "But I'm not Chinese, so why should I bother learning their language?" Well, there are lots of great reasons!First of all, China has one of the biggest and fastest growing economies in the world. If you want to do business with Chinese companies someday, it's really helpful to know how to speak their language. Can you imagine trying to make a multi-million dollar business deal through a translator? It would be so confusing! By learning Chinese yourself, you can make sure nothing gets lost in translation.Secondly, Chinese is a very popular language. After English and Spanish, it's the third most widely spoken language on the planet. Over a billion people speak some form of Chinese as their native tongue. That's way more than any other language! By learning Chinese, you'll be able to communicate with a huge chunk of the world's population.Another reason learning Chinese is important? China is becoming a global superpower. As China's power and influence grows, knowing the Chinese language will become even more valuable. Chinese culture, politics, economics, and trade impact everyone on earth. Don't you want to understand what's going on fully instead of being left in the dark?It's also way easier to learn Chinese when you're a kid rather than waiting until you're an adult. Kid brains are like sponges - they can soak up new languages way faster than adult brains can.If you start learning Chinese young, it will start to feel like a second native language. But if you wait until you're older, it's crazy hard to pick up. Trust me, you don't want to be an adult trying to learn a totally new writing system and set of tones!Learning Chinese can benefit you in so many ways beyond just language skills too. It opens the door to understanding one of the world's oldest and richest cultures. Chinese civilization has existed for thousands of years, way longer than most other modern cultures. By studying the language, you'll also learn about Chinese philosophy, history, art, literature, cuisine, and more. How cool is that?Chinese also sounds completely different than English. Instead of an alphabet, it uses logographic writing systems made up of thousands of unique characters. And rather than just having inflections, it uses tones to change the meaning of words. Your brain gets a workout trying to learn something so foreign!But don't worry, once you get the hang of it, Chinese can be really fun. You get to u se awesome words like "màtōngxué" (a person who shares the same interests as you) and "dāgāiwǒ" (someone who is awkward and stiff). You'll finally understand what all those words on Chinese takeout menus and magazinesmean. And you can watch Chinese movies, TV shows, and viral videos without needing subtitles. It's the best!I know what you're thinking though - Chinese is one of the hardest languages in the world for an English speaker to learn. With thousands of characters to memorize and funky tones, how can a kid be expected to master it?Well sure, it's definitely challenging. But that's what makes it such an rewarding accomplishment! The harder you work at studying Chinese, the more amazing you'll feel when you finally start speaking and reading it fluently. It's kind of like training to run a marathon or climb a huge mountain. Doing something extremely difficult makes you feel like a total rock star when you succeed.Plus, there are tons of fun methods for kids to learn Chinese now. You can start by listening to Chinese music, watching Chinese cartoons, or reading Chinese children's books. There are also really cool apps and games that make studying Chinese feel more like playing than working. My favorite is Crazy Student Chinese - it's hilarious!Speaking of games, China is kind of the capital of cool stuff like animation, video games, comics, and cartoons. As a Chinese speaker, you'll get to experience the real, authentic versionsrather than lame translations and dubs. You can play all the latest Chinese games and be the first to see new anime and manga before the English versions even come out. That's pretty awesome if you're a pop culture fanatic like me!But possibly the best reason to learn Chinese is how it allows you to meet new people from all around the world. Over a billion people use some form of Chinese every day, including tons of kids your age. Just imagine going on vacation somewhere like Beijing or Hong Kong and being able to chat and make friends with all the local Chinese kids! You could give them tours of your hometown, and they could show you around their cities. Having a common language makes the world feel that much smaller.Same goes if you ever attend an international school or join a club that has Chinese students. You'll instantly be able to communicate with them and make new friends from China, Taiwan, Singapore or anywhere Chinese is spoken. People generally get really excited when a foreigner learns their native language. It makes them proud that an outsider took such an interest in their culture!So in conclusion, there are about a zillion reasons why foreigners should learn Chinese: to do business easier, to communicate with more people, to understand a powerfulnation, to exercise your brain, to appreciate an ancient culture, to enjoy Chinese media and entertainment, to show off an impressive skill, to make new international friends, to experience China first-hand, and so much more.Is learning Chinese hard? You bet. Is it worth it? Absolutely. Learning this amazing global language can open up an entire new world of opportunities for anyone willing to try. Just think how cool it would be to grow up speaking two of the most important languages on earth - English and Chinese. You'd be unstoppable!Ok, I've rambled on long enough. If you still need more convincing, just ask any foreigner who learned Chinese. I bet they'll say it was one of the most useful and rewarding things they ever did. What are you waiting for? Get studying -zhōngwénbùnántā (Chinese isn't that hard)!。

AThere are lots of fun-filled ethnic (少数民族的) festivals in our country. Let’s take a look at some of them. Ethnic Festivals IntroductionsMarch Fair of Bai People The March Fair is the most important festival for the Bai people living in Dali, Yunnan.

What’s more, they race horses, dance to and sing traditional songs.Torch Festival of Yi People In Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan, Yi people celebrate the Torch (火把) Festival. It usually takes place from the 24th to the 26th day of the 6th lunar month every year. As part of the festival, every family needs to light a torch.

People of all ages sing and dance around it.Water Festival of Dai People The Water Festival is the New Year for the Dai people living in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan. It lasts 3 days in April. During the festival, Dai people wear their festival suits to dance and throw water at each other (they believe it could bring happiness and good luck). The wetter you get, the luckier you will be.Interested in these Chinese festivals? Go and experience them yourself.( ) 21. Which festival lasts the longest time?A. The March Fair.B. The Torch Festival.C. The Water Festival. ( ) 22. Why do Yi people need to light a torch in the festival?A. Because they want to do some cooking with a torch.B. Because they think it can drive away bad luck.C. Because they think it can bring happiness and good luck.B There’s a new sport atthis year’s Paris Olympics: breaking (霹雳舞),sometimes called breakdancing. Here’s what you need to know about the sport.Why is it called breaking?Breaking started in the 1970s, in New York City. At parties, dancers got upto perform during musical “breaks”, which gave breaking its name. Breaking isnow an important part of hip-hop culture around the world.Who can be a breaker?Anyone can be a B-girl or a B-boy, which is what breakers call themselves. Voctor Montalvo is an American B-boy. “Breakning is great because it’s part of hip-hop culture, and in hip-hop culture, it doesn’t matter what color you are, who you are, where you’re from. It’s inclusive,” he says. “It’s all about peace, love, unity, and having fun.”What is the breakers’ language?Breakers have their own language to describe their dance style. They take turns to show their best moves in a friendly competition called “battling” (斗舞). They might spin, flip, or blance on their hands. It’s like playing withthe body to music. Normally, they would dance to fast and energetic music.Do the breakers pick their own music?No! In breaking competitions, a DJ picks the music for each round. The breakers never know what songs the DJ will pick, so they have to choose their moves on the spot (场所，地点).( ) 23. When did breaking first appear at the Olympics?A. In the 1970s.B. In 2024.C. In 2021.( ) 24. Which is close to the underlined word “inclusive” in meaning in paragraph 3?A. 独一无二的B. 广泛的C. 包容性强的( ) 25. Which statement is NOT true according to the passage?A. An African girl can be a B-girl.B. The breakers usually dance to soft and light music.C. A DJ picks the music for the breakers in breaking competitions.( ) 26. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To tell us who can be breakers.B. To introduce a new sport at this year’s Paris Olympics.C. To encourage us to learn breaking.CWhich is more important in your mind, looking fashionable or feeling comfortable? You may find many people choose style over comfort and some even go to extremes (极端) to follow fashion. But we should remember: being fashionable isn’t everything. It’s more important to be healthy.Some people believe that they need to be a certain size to look good. So, they start extreme diets that are not good for their health. They might not eat meals or eat too little, which can make them feel sick. Is it a healthy way to live?Also, many girls wear shoes with very high heels(鞋后跟). They might think high heels make them look taller. But these shoes can actually hurt their feet and make it hard to walk comfortably, and they can increase the risks of falls. Some even wear tight (紧的) clothes that influence blood circulation (循环), making it hard to breathe. Should we put fashion over comfort and physical health?Besides, some boys and girls spend a lot of time and money changing their hair color. The material they use is usually harmful to their health. To make their hair straight or curly, they also use tools that are hot enough to burn their hair. But using these tools too often or at very high temperatures can make the hair dry or even burnt. Is it really worth it to risk our health, spending so much time and money?So, let's think again what's really important. Is it fashion or is it our well-being? Clothes or hairstyles don't tell us anything about a person's character. Instead of spending a lot of time choosing clothes, we could use that time to do fun things with friends. And instead of following extreme diets, let's eat properly and exercise regularly(有规律地). Remember, the value of you is not decided by your appearance, but by who you are as a person.( ) 27. Why do some people go on extreme diets according to the passage?A. Because the diets are healthy.B. Because they just want to look good.C. Because they want to save time.( ) 28. What is the writer’s purpose of using a question in each paragraph?A. To ask for help from readers.B. To introduce the latest fashion.C. To lead readers to think about the topic.( ) 29. What can we know from the passage?A. Wearing shoes with high heels can make people have trouble breathing.B. Changing the hair style too often has no influence on people’s health.C. Eating in the right way and doing exercise often can make people healthier.( ) 30. Which of the following is the structure of the passage?(①=paragraph 1; ②=paragraph 2...)第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

hard-pressed to find one that doesn't believe it can teach the skills of entrepreneurship.However,of the people who immediately 1to mind when one thinks of entrepreneurs——Bill Gates,Richard Branson or Oprah Winfrey,for example—few have done more than 2a speech at a business school.3,a recent study by King's College in London has suggested what many intuitively 4:that entrepreneurship may actually be in the blood—more to do with genes than classroom experience.All of which 5the question—does an entrepreneur really need a business-school education?Not surprisingly some of the best-known schools in the field have a 6answer to this:they don't actually profess to create entrepreneurs,7they nurture innate ability.Or as Timothy Faley of the entrepreneurial institute atMichigan's Ross School of Business 8it:“A good idea is not enough.You need to know how to 9a good idea into a good business.”Schools do this in a number of ways.One is to 10that faculty are a mix of classic academics and businesspeople with experience of 11their own successful firms.They can also create “incubators”where students 12ideas and rub shoulders on a day-to-day basis with the external business world,receiving both advice and hard cash in the form of investment.Arguably such help is now more important than ever.The modernentrepreneur is faced with a more 13world than when Richard Branson began by selling records out of a phone box.According to Patrice Houdayer,head of one of Europe's best-known entrepreneurship schools,EMIYON in France,new businesses used to move through a 14series of growth steps—what he terms garage,local,national and international.Now however,15the communications revolution,they can leapfrog these stages and go global more or lessstraightaway—encountering a whole new 16of problems and challenges.In this 17Professor Houdayer maintains that the increasingly 18nature of MBA classes can help the nascent entrepreneur in three ways:by plugging them into an

1.(40points)Text 1What's a label worth?A lot,it seems.Michael Hiscox and Nicholas Smyth,two Harvard University researchers,conducted an experiment on two sets of towels in an upmarket New York shop.One lot carried a label with the logo “Fair and Square”and the following message:These towels have been made under fair labour conditions,in a safe and healthy working environment which is free of discrimination,and where management has committed to respecting the rights and dignity of workers.The other set had no such label.Over five months,the researchers observed the impact of making various changes such as switching the label to the other set of towels and raising prices.The results were striking:not only did sales of towels 经典考资祝福你考试成each time the price was raised.No wonder companies are keen to appeal to ethically （i.e.morally ）minded consumers,whether on labour standards or green credentials.Timberland,a New Hampshire outdoor-gear company,is introducing detailed "Green Index”labels on its shoes.Tesco,M ＆S and Wal-Mart have all launched initiatives that bet on the rise of the ethical consumer.M ＆S estimates that about three-quarters of British consumers areinterested in the green theme in some way.But even the keenest ethical consumer faces complicated situations,and sometimes the apparently obvious ethical choice turns out to be the wrong one.Surely it must be greener for Britons to buy roses from the Netherlands than ones air-freighted from Kenya?In fact,a study showed that related green house gas to the Dutch roses to be six times as large because they had to be grown in heated greenhouses.Joel Makower,editor of ,says that,given a choice,mostconsumers will choose the greener product—provided it does not cost any more,comes from a trusted maker,requires no special effort to buy or use and is at least as good as the alternative.“That's almost an impossible barrier for any product,”he notes.So shoppers will still flock to shops selling cheap products of decent quality,ignoring how these are made.They will often buy more if a product is attractively presented,never mind that the packaging may be wasteful.And when companies try to do the right thing,consumers will not always go along with them.The lesson for companies is that selling green is hard work.And it is no good getting too far ahead of the customer.Half a step ahead is about right.Much more,and you won't sell.Any less,and you won't lead.21．The experiment on the towels indicated that ______.［A ］consumers liked to purchase labeled products［B ］consumers would buy goods when prices rose［C ］consumption was influenced by green labels［D ］ethical concern may influence consumption22．According to the text,consumers’ethical choice ______.［A ］determines the production of commodities［B ］forces companies to sell green products only［C ］leads companies to modify business activities［D ］leads to higher labour and green standards23．We may infer from the fourth paragraph that ______.［A ］green buying may be at higher environment cost［B ］green production is actually complicated business［C ］Dutch rose growth is greener than Kenya ones［D ］British consumers actually oppose green farming24．According to Joel Makower,most consumers will ______.［A ］buy greener products when given a choice［B ］reject greener products for various reasons 经典考资祝福你考试成［D ］refuse to follow the activities of companies 25．Companies may learn the lesson that ______.［A ］it is not worthwhile leading the customers ［B ］the customers are not easily to be misled ［C ］green policy is not effective for marketing ［D ］companies need a balanced green policy Text 2There are various ways in which individual economic units can interact with one another.Three basic ways may be described as the market system,the administered system and the traditional system.In a market system individual economic units are free to interact amongeach other in the marketplace.It is possible to buy commodities from other economic units or sell commodities to them.In a market,transactions may take place via barter or money exchange.In a barter economy,real goods such as automobiles,shorts,and pizzas are traded against each other.Obviously,finding somebody who wants to trade my old car in exchange for a sailboat may not always be an easy task.Hence the introduction of money as a medium of exchange eases transactions considerably.In the modern market economy,goods and services are bought or sold for money.An alternative to the market system is administrative control by someagency over all transactions.This agency will issue edicts or commands as to how much of each good and service should be produced,exchanged,and consumed by each economic unit.Central planning may be one way of administering such an economy.The central plan,drawn up by the government,shows the amounts of each commodity produced by the various firms and allocated to different households for consumption.This is an example of complete planning of productionconsumption,and exchange for the whole economy.In a traditional society,production and consumption patterns are governed by tradition:every person's place within the economic system is fixed by parentage,religion and custom.Transactions take place on the basis of tradition,too.People belonging to a certain group or caste may have an obligation to care for otherpersons,provide them with food and shelter,care for their health,and provide their education.Clearly,in a system where every decision made on the basis of tradition alone,progress may be difficult to achieve.A stagnant society may result.26．What is the main purpose of the passage?［A ］To outline contrasting types of economic.［B ］To explain the science of economic systems.［C ］To argue for the superiority of one economic system.［D ］To compare barter and money-exchange markets.27．In the second paragraph,the word “real”in “real goods”could best be replaced by which of the following?［A ］High quality.［B ］Concrete.经典考资祝福你考试成28．According to the passage,a barter economy can lead to ______.［A ］rapid speed of transactions ［B ］misunderstandings ［C ］inflation ［D ］difficulties for the traders 29．According to the passage,who has the greatest degree of control in an administered system?［A ］Individual households.［B ］Small businesses.［C ］Major corporations.［D ］The government.30．Which of the following is not mentioned by the author as a criterion for determining a person's place in a traditional society?［A ］Family background.［B ］Age.［C ］Religious beliefs.［D ］Custom.Text 3If sustainable competitive advantage depends on work-force skills,American firms have a problem.Human-resource management is considered an individual bour is simply another factor of production to be hired—rented at the lowest possible cost—much as one buys raw materials or equipment.The lack of importance attached to human-resource management can be seen in the corporate hierarchy.In an American firm the chief financial officer is almost always second in command.The post of head of human-resourcemanagement is usually a specialized job,off at the edge of the corporate hierarchy.The executive who holds it is never consulted on major strategic decisions and has no chance to move up to Chief Executive Officer （CEO ）.By way of contrast,in Japan the head of human-resources management is central—usually the second most important executive,after the CEO,in the firm's hierarchy.While American firms often talk about the vast amounts spent on training their work forces,in fact they invest less in the skills of their employees than do either Japanese of German firms.The money they do invest is also more highly concentrated on professional and managerial employees.And the limitedinvestments that are made in training workers are also much more narrowly focused on the specific skills necessary to do the next job rather than on the basic background skills that make it possible to absorb new technologies.As a result,problems emerge when new breakthrough technologies arrive.If American workers,for example,take much longer to learn how to operate new flexible manufacturing stations than workers in Germany （as they do ）,the effective cost of those stations is lower in Germany than it is in the United States.More time is required before equipment is up and running at capacity,and the need for extensive retraining generates costs and creates bottlenecks that limit the speed with which new equipment can be employed.The result is a slower pace of technologicalchange.And in the end the skills of the population affect the wages of the top half.经典考资祝福你考试成management and professional jobs that go with these processes will disappear.31．Which of the following applies to the management of human resources in American companies?［A ］They hire people at the lowest cost regardless of their skills.［B ］They see the gaining of skills as their employees'own business.［C ］They attach more importance to workers than equipment.［D ］They only hire skilled workers because of keen competition.32．What is the position of the head of human-resource management in an American firm?［A ］He is one of the most important executives in the firms.［B ］His post is likely to disappear when new technologies are introduced.［C ］He is directly under the chief financial executive.［D ］He has no say in making important decisions in the firm.33．The money most American firms put in training mainly goes to ______.［A ］workers who can operate new equipment ［B ］technological and managerial staff ［C ］workers who lack basic background skills ［D ］top executives 34．According to the passage,the decisive factor in maintaining a firm's competitive advantage is ______.［A ］the introduction of new technologies ［B ］the improvement of worker's basic skills ［C ］the rational composition of professional and managerial employees ［D ］the attachment of importance to the bottom half of the employees 35．What is the main idea of the passage?［A ］American firms are different from Japanese and German firms in human-resource management.［B ］Extensive retraining is indispensable to effective human-resource management.［C ］The head of human-resource management must be in the centralposition in a firm's hierarchy.［D ］The human-resource management strategies of American firms affect their competitive capacity.Text 4The public holiday on the last Monday of August marks,in most British minds,the unofficial end of summer.A vast migration takes place,as millions take advantage of the long weekend to visit seaside resorts or fly to Europe in a final sun-seeking cheer.Once the festivities are over,gloom descends:workers face four months of uninterrupted labor until Christmas Eve,their next official day off.This depression often provokes calls for more public holidays,and this year the clamor has been louder than usual.David Cameron's new Conservatives have been forced to deny rumors that they would recommend three new public holidays.经典考资祝福你考试成intended to inspire civil pride.On August 27th the Institute for Public PolicyResearch,a worthy think-tank,called for a new day off to “celebrate community heroes”.To the idlers,the case for more time off looks persuasive.By Europeanstandards at least,Britain is a nation of workaholics,with only the Austrianslabouring as many hours per week.Workers are entitled to 20working days of leave a year,the European Union's required minimum.Other countries are more generous.France and Denmark give at least 25days in leave,and many Finns get 30.Britons celebrate a miserably eight national holidays a year;in Europe only the Romanians,with five,have fewer.Even significant national events are celebrated grudgingly.：the British were given two days off to celebrate the queen's Golden Jubilee in 2002,but had to forfeit an existing public holiday to make up for it.National holidays are illogical as well as scarce.The queen's official birthday （a moveable holiday unrelated to her date of birth ）is seen as a good excuse for a holiday in most of Britain's former colonies,but not in Her Majesty's homeland.Distribution is also badly distorted:seven of the eight holidays fall between December and May,leaving only August's to break up the rest of the year.There are plenty of things that a new holiday might celebrate.Patriotssuggest that England should honour St George （the patron saint of the place ）,just as Scotland takes time off for St Andrew.The historically minded argue for a Magna Carta （The charter of liberties ）day,whereas the politically correct suggest holidays celebrating “communities”and “volunteering”.Sadly,not everyone is keen on increasing public holidays.The CBI,abusiness lobbying group,points out that legal leave is already planned to rise to 28working days by 2009,and says that an extra public holiday would cost up to ￡6billion （$12.1billion ）.In the face of such tough objections,concerns about leisure and the quality of life may seem vague and idealistic.36．What is the passage mainly talking about?［A ］Different attitudes towards public holidays in Britain.［B ］The increase of national holidays in Britain.［C ］The problem of public holidays in Britain.［D ］The call for more public holidays in Britain.37．The calls for more public holidays in Britain could be the results of______.［A ］the economic depression［B ］the 4-month work without a rest［C ］the long wait for an official day off［D ］recommendation of two ministers38．What does the word “workaholics”most probably mean （Line 2,Paragraph 3）?［A ］Compulsive workers.［B ］Idle workers.［C ］Lazy workers.经典考资祝福你考试成39．According to the passage,the increase of British working days of leave ______.［A ］is supported by all British people ［B ］is planned by CBI to be carried out by 2009［C ］is challenged by some opponents ［D ］is likely to result in economic recession 40．Which of the following conclusions can we draw from the text?［A ］From June to December,there is only one British national holiday.［B ］British national holidays are unsatisfactory for the quantity and the allocation.［C ］The queen’s official birthday is celebrated in England.［D ］People suggest new holidays for their own convenience.Part BDirections:Read the following text and answer questions by finding information from the right column that corresponds to each of the marked details given in the left column.There are two extra choices in the right column.Mark your answer on ANSWER SHEET 1.（10points ）Most people may drink only two liters of water a day,but they consumeabout 3,000liters a day if the water that goes into their food is taken into account.The rich gulp down far more,since they tend to eat more meat,which takes far more water to produce than grains.So as the world's population grows and incomes rise,farmers will need a great deal more water to keep everyone fed:2,000more cubic kilometers a year by 2030,according to the International Water Management Institute （IWMI ）.Yet in many farming regions,water is scarce and likely to get scarcer as global warming worsens.The world is facing not so much a food crisis as a water crisis,argues Colin Chartres,IWMI's director-general.The solution,Mr Chartres and others contend,is more efficient use of water or,as the sloganeers put it,“more crop per drop”.Some 1.2billion people live in places that are short of water.Farming accounts for roughly 70%of human water consumption.So when water starts to run out,farming tends to offer the bestpotential for thrift.But governments rarely charge farmers a market price for water.So they are usually more wasteful than other consumers—even though the value they create from the water is often less than households or industry would be willing to pay for it.The pressing need is to make water go further.Antoine Frérot,the head of the water division of Veolia Environment,promotes recycling of

farmers never gets to crops,perhaps lost through leaky irrigation channels or by draining into rivers or groundwater.经典考资祝福你考试成savings.Farmers in poor countries can usually afford such things only if they are growing cash crops,says David Molden of IWMI.Even basic kit such as small rainwater tanks can be lacking.Ethiopia,for example,has only 38cubic meters of storage capacity per inhabitant,compared to almost 5,000in Australia.Yet modest water storage can hugely improve yields in rain-fed agriculture,by smoothing over short dry spells.Likewise,pumping water into natural aquifers for seasonal storage tends to be much cheaper than building a big dam,and prevents the great waste of water through evaporation.Agronomists are beginning to devise tools to help monitor the efficiency of water use.Some have designed algorithms that use satellite data on surface temperatures to calculate the rate at which plants are absorbing and transpiring water.That allows governments and development agencies to concentrate their efforts on the most prodigal areas.Raising yields does not always involve greater water consumption,especially when farms are inefficient.It would take little extra water to double cereal output in many parts of Africa,Mr Molden argues.IWMI reckons that some three-quarters of the extra food the world needs could be provided simply by bringing yields

社交媒体是否拉进人与人之间的距离英语作文
社交媒体是否拉进人与人之间的距离英语作文全文共5篇示例，供读者参考篇1Social Media: Bringing People Together or Pushing Us Apart?Hey there! Today I wanted to talk about something that's a huge part of my life and the lives of tons of kids my age – social media! Apps like Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok and more are super popular. But there's a big debate about whether they're actually good for us or not. Some people say social media helps us feel more connected to our friends and communities. But others think it pulls us apart and makes us lonely. As a kid who's grown up with all this technology, I've got some thoughts to share!On one hand, I can totally see how social media lets me stay in touch with my friends and family way more easily than in the past. Back in the day, if you wanted to chat with your cousin across the country, you had to call them on a landline phone or write letters that took forever to arrive. Now we can just fire up a video chat or send instant messages back and forth! That's socool. Social media also helps me feel connected to my interests and communities I care about. I follow tons of accounts about sports, video games, books and more. Seeing posts about those topics makes me feel understood and part of something bigger.But I also get why some people are worried social media does more harm than good when it comes to our relationships. I've noticed some kids at school seem to care way more about getting likes and comments online than actually talking to their friends face-to-face. And I've felt major FOMO (fear of missing out) before when I see people posting about fun parties or hangouts I wasn't invited to. That jealous, left-out feeling is no fun at all. There's also the problem of cyberbullying, where people use apps and websites to harass or make fun of each other anonymously. That can be really hurtful and damaging.So which is it – does social media bring people together or push them apart? In my opinion, it's a mix of both good and bad. On the positive side, these apps make it so easy to share fun updates, pictures and videos with friends and family no matter how far away they live. Group chats help me coordinate plans and stay in the loop. I've even made new friends online who are into the same hobbies and fandoms as me. On the other hand, I've seen how social media can also breed unhealthy obsessionswith racking up followers, likes and comments. People can get dragged into endless negative comparison spirals. And cyberbullies take advantage of the anonymity to be mean to others with no consequences.At the end of the day, I think social media is kind of a double-edged sword. Used the right way, it's an awesome tool that helps you feel connected and engaged. But it's also really easy to get carried away and let those apps control your happiness or self-worth. My advice? Use social media as a fun way to share your life with others and discover new interests. But also remember that real face-to-face friendships are the most valuable and meaningful. Don't let those little apps take over your whole life!So that's my take – social media is amazing in some ways but also pretty risky in others. What matters most is being smart and balanced with how you use it. Make sure to look up from those screens sometimes and appreciate the human connections right in front of you. Those are the bonds that really count.篇2Social Media: Does It Bring Us Closer or Push Us Apart?Hey there! My name is Jamie and I'm a 10-year-old kid who loves using social media apps like TikTok, Instagram, and Snapchat. My parents are always nagging me about how much time I spend on my phone and iPad, but in my opinion, social media is actually a super cool way to connect with friends, family, and people from all over the world!Now, I know what you're probably thinking - "Jamie, aren't you too young to be on social media?" Well, even though the rules say you're supposed to be 13 to have accounts, pretty much all my friends have fake ages or use their parents' accounts.I mean, how else are we supposed to share funny memes, cute pet pics, and all the latest dances on TikTok?But enough about that - let's talk about whether social media actually brings people together or pushes them apart. In my experience, it definitely brings us closer! Let me explain...Keeping In Touch With FamilyOne of the best things about social media is how easy it makes keeping in touch with my relatives, especially the ones who live far away. My cousins up in Maine, my aunt and uncle in California, even my grandparents in Florida - we're all connected through group chats, sharing photos and videos, andcommenting on each other's posts. Without social media, I probably wouldn't get to catch up with them nearly as much.Some people say social media creates a false sense of connection, but I disagree. Sure, it's not the same as being there in person, but at least we get to share little windows into each other's daily lives. For distant family, I'd much rather have that virtual closeness than hardly any contact at all!Bonding Over Shared InterestsAnother way social media brings people together is by connecting you with others who have the same niche hobbies and interests as you. Let's say you're really into...I don't know...collecting antique ceramic frog figurines. Weird hobby, I know, but just go with me here! Thanks to social media, you can easily find groups, pages, and forums full of other frog figurine collectors from around the globe.You get to bond over your mutual love of vintagefrog-themed knickknacks, share photos of your collections, get advice on sellers and shows, and just nerd out over your quirky passion together. Without social apps, it would be so much harder for people with niche interests to find their fellow enthusiasts!And this doesn't just apply to obscure hobbies - it's the same for any interest, whether it's sports, music, books, activism, you name it. Social media gives you a way to tap into communities and make connections with people you'd never cross paths with otherwise.Bringing The World TogetherSpeaking of making global connections, that's another big way social media shrinks the distance between people. These days, it's so easy to follow and interact with people from different cities, countries, cultures, and walks of life. You get exposed to diverse perspectives, traditions, and experiences you might never encounter in your local community.For example, one of my favorite TikTok accounts is this kid my age from a rural village in India. He posts videos showing his daily routine - walking to school, helping his mom prepare meals, playing outdoor games with his friends. It's crazy to see how different, yet similar, our lives are as kids on opposite sides of the world!Through his videos and my ability to comment on them, I've learned so much about his culture and he's learned about mine. We've become friends spanning an enormousgeographicdistance - all thanks to social media connecting us. How cool is that?Staying Close With FriendsFinally, the way social media most helps bring people together is by allowing me and my friends to feel constantly connected, even when we're not in the same room. Group chats, Snapchat streaks, sharing hilarious TikTok videos, commenting on each other's Instagram posts - these casual, bite-sized interactions happening all day long make us feel like we're together even while apart.We're constantly laughing at memes, dishing about school drama, making inside jokes, and updating each other on the little details of our lives. Don't get me wrong, we love hanging out in person more than anything! But social media helps us continue those fun, goofy, gossip-filled friendships even after we've gone our separate ways at the end of the day.I honestly can't imagine what it would be like going a whole evening or weekend without easily being able to ping my besties and stay looped into their lives. We'd feel so disconnected and out of the loop! Our friendships would fizzle out way quicker without social apps to keep that semi-constant bonding alive between hangouts.Not Perfect, But Bringing Us CloserLook, I'm not saying social media is perfect - there's a lot of bad stuff on there too, like cyberbullying, creepy strangers trying to sliding into DMs, misinformation spreading, etc. My parents are always warning me about those dangers, and they're not wrong to be cautious. Social apps need better security and rules to protect kids and prevent harmful content.But overall, I truly believe social media does way more to bring people together than push us apart. The ability to easily share parts of our lives with distant loved ones, connect with niche interest groups across the globe, learn about wildly different cultures, and maintain closeness with friends despite being physically separated - that's what social media provides.At the end of the day, it is just a tool, and like any tool, it can be used for good or for bad. For me and my friends though, our social media use is almost exclusively about creating fun memories, bonding over laughs and silliness, and feeling much more connected to our extended circles than we would without those apps.Could we survive without social media? Sure. But our friendships, family relationships, exposure to new cultures and perspectives - they'd all lose that extra sprinkling of closeness itprovides. Social media might not create deep, meaningful bonds, but its bite-sized interactions and windows into each other's lives definitely help us feel more together. And who doesn't want that?篇3Social Media: Bringing Us Together or Pushing Us Apart?Hey guys! Today I want to talk about something that's a huge part of our lives - social media! You know, apps like Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok and stuff. I'm sure you all use them a ton. But have you ever stopped to think about how they might be affecting our relationships with our friends and family?Some people say social media is awesome because it helps us stay connected with our loved ones no matter where they are in the world. With just a few taps, we can see what they're up to, share pics and videos, and chat about anything. That's really cool! When my cousin moved to another state, we used to never talk. But now with social media, it's like she never left. I can message her whenever I want and see all her latest updates. It definitely helps us feel closer despite the distance.Social media can also be great for making new friends who have similar interests as you. Like, I'm part of this cool Robloxgroup where we all chat about new games and share strategies. I've made so many friends from all over through that group. Or when I was really into that superhero show, I joined a fan page and got to geek out about theories with other mega-fans. Having those shared interests really brings people together.But...social media isn't all good. Some people think it's actually driving us further apart in some ways. Like, have you ever been hanging out with your friends, but you all just had your heads buried in your phones the whole time? You're physically together, but not really present with each other. I've definitely been guilty of that before. It's kinda sad when you think about it - we have all these amazing ways to connect, but we end up ignoring the real people right in front of us.Another problem is that some folks create these totally fake versions of themselves online. They only post the highlights and make their lives look way more exciting and perfect than reality. Then other people start feeling really crummy about their own lives because they think they don't measure up. I've had friends who have felt that way before, and it's honestly made them distant and disconnected. No one should ever have to feel like that.There's also online bullying and drama to worry about. People can be so mean when they're hiding behind a screen. I've seen friends get harassed and trolled, and it's awful. That toxic behavior obviously pushes people apart instead of bringing them together. Why would you want to open up and be vulnerable with someone who treats you that way? No thanks!So what do I think after weighing the pros and cons? Well, social media is a double-edged sword. Used the right way, it absolutely can bring people together and help you meet cool new friends and stay in each other's lives. But if you're not careful, it can also create distance, jealousy, and hurt between people.That's why I think it's super important to be smart about how you use social media. Don't obsess over checking it all the time or comparing yourself to others. Use it as a tool to share good things and positive vibes, not to bully or bring others down. Put your phone away when you're with friends and familia so you can actually be present. As long as you use social media in a healthy way, it can definitely be a force that brings people together.Those are just my thoughts, but I'd love to hear what you guys think too! Do you feel like social media has brought you closer or pushed you apart from others? Share your stories in thecomments below. And don't forget to smash that like button before you go! Peace!篇4Social Media: Bringing Us Together or Pushing Us Apart?You know what's really awesome? Social media! It lets me stay connected with my friends and family all the time. I can share pictures of my dog doing funny things, or that awesome goal I scored at soccer practice. My parents are always posting about their work trips or what we had for dinner. And my cousins who live far away put up videos of their new baby taking her first steps! It's so cool to see what everyone is up to.But then sometimes, I see kids at school more focused on their phones than talking to the people right next to them. At recess, someone is usually looking at their tablet instead of joining the games. Even at sleepovers, my friends spend more time scrolling through their feeds than hanging out together in real life.It makes me wonder - is social media actually making us lose touch with each other?Instead of bringing us closer like it's supposed to, maybe it's creating a big distance between us and the real world. We're so busy watching other people's lives through our screens that weforget to live our own lives! I've been guilty of that myself sometimes when I get really into a new game or app. Before I know it, hours have gone by and I'm still zoned out in front of my computer.On the other hand, social media does allow me to connect with my best friends who moved to different cities. We're able to send each other silly videos, emoji conversations, and keep our awesome group chat going even though we can't hang out in person anymore. My family uses it to share major updates across the country too. Like when my baby cousin was born, or when my uncle celebrated 20 years at his job. We wouldn't know all the important details if it wasn't for social apps.I also think social media can bring awareness to good causes and help people work together for positive changes. Like when kids from different schools all got involved in an environmental campaign after it went viral online. Or when my class raised hundreds of dollars for hurricane relief because we spread the word on our parents' accounts. People from everywhere were able to pitch in just by sharing a post. That's pretty powerful if you ask me!Still, I can't help but notice how many arguments happen over social media too. Have you ever seen an endless rant in acomment section that just gets nastier and nastier? Some people get so worked up over a simple post or opinion. Cyberbullying is also a huge issue that really hurts people. I know kids at my school who have been bullied badly on apps before. It makes me scared to share stuff online in case trolls attack me next. That's definitely NOT bringing people together!Ultimately, I think social media is a mixed bag. It helps me keep in close contact with loved ones and rally people for good causes. But it also enables cruelty, persuades some people to live through screens rather than reality, and makes others become obsessed with portraying a perfect life online. I worry we're all getting addicted and replacing actual human interaction with virtual communication.Maybe the answer is balance and self-control. Using social apps in moderation to supplement our relationships, not substitute them fully. We should try to witness more of life's special moments in person rather than through a phone camera. But still allow ourselves to share slices of real life meaningfully with loved ones far away. We just can't let the virtual world take over the real one!For now, I'm going to keep using social media to celebrate my family's big days, swap silly memes with friends, and learnabout important events happening around the world. But I'll also make sure to log off regularly and go play outside, hang out with my besties in the neighborhood, and be present with the people right in front of me. Because true bonding and connection has to happen face-to-face as much as behind a screen. The real world is pretty awesome too when you look up from your phone!篇5Social Media: Bringing Us Together or Pushing Us Apart?Hey there! Today I want to talk about something that's a huge part of our lives - social media. Whether you love it or hate it, there's no denying that sites like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and Snapchat have changed the way we communicate and interact with each other. But the big question is: does social media actually bring people closer together or does it push us further apart?In my opinion, social media can do both - it just depends on how we use it. Let me explain what I mean.On one hand, social media allows us to connect with friends, family, and people who share our interests from all over the world. It's so easy to keep in touch with your cousin who lives on the other side of the country or to join an online group for kidswho love the same video games as you. With just a few clicks, you can see what your friends are up to, share photos and videos, and chat about anything and everything.That's the awesome part about social media - it can bring people closer by helping us feel connected to our loved ones and letting us be part of communities we're interested in, no matter how far away they might be. I have online friends from different countries who I've never met in person, but we chat and play games together all the time. Social media makes the world feel smaller and more accessible.But here's the downside: sometimes social media can make us feel more alone and disconnected from the people right in front of us. Have you ever been hanging out with your friends, but everyone was glued to their phones, scrolling through Instagram or watching TikTok videos instead of actually talking to each other? Or maybe you've felt jealous or left out after seeing pictures of your classmates having fun without you. Social media can create unrealistic expectations and make us compare our lives to the perfectly filtered versions we see online.It's also easier to be mean or say things you wouldn't normally say in person when you're hiding behind a screen. Cyberbullying is a real problem, and it can make social media feellike a toxic, judgmental place. I've seen kids posting rude comments or spreading rumors online, and it's just not cool.So while social media has the potential to connect us, it can also disconnect us from the people and world right in front of us if we're not careful. It's all about finding the right balance.Personally, I think social media is a lot of fun when it's used in a positive way to stay in touch with friends, share cool things I'm interested in, and be part of online communities. But I also make sure to spend plenty of time away from screens, hanging out with my friends in person and being present in the moment. I don't want to miss out on real-life experiences because I'm too busy staring at my phone.At the end of the day, social media is just a tool. Whether it brings us together or pushes us apart really depends on how we choose to use it. If we can be smart, kind, and balanced in our social media habits, it can absolutely be a way to connect with others and share our lives. But if we get obsessed with putting on a perfect image online or let it replace real human interaction, then it can definitely drive us apart.What do you guys think? I'd love to hear your thoughts on this topic. Just remember - when you share your opinion online, be respectful and spread positivity, not negativity. That's the bestway to make social media bring out the good in people and bring us all a little closer together.。
学会与人和睦相处十分重要英语作文
学会与人和睦相处十分重要英语作文全文共5篇示例，供读者参考篇1Why It's Super Important to Be Nice to EveryoneHi there! My name is Sophie and I'm 10 years old. Today I want to talk to you about something that's really really important - being nice and getting along with other people. This is a big deal because we can't just live all alone by ourselves. We have to work together and be friends!Let me start by telling you about my best friend Amy. We've known each other since we were just tiny kids in preschool. Amy and I don't always agree on everything. Sometimes we argue about silly things, like what game we should play at recess or what movie we should watch at her birthday sleepover party. But even when we don't see eye-to-eye, we still treat each other with respect. We don't call names or say mean things. We use our words to express how we feel in a calm way.I'll give you an example. One time Amy really wanted to play princess tea party at recess, but I really really wanted to play kickball instead. We started disagreeing about it and raising ourvoices at each other. That's when Mrs. Taylor, our teacher, came over and reminded us to talk it out nicely. So we took some deep breaths and each explained why we wanted to do that particular game. In the end, we compromised - we played kickball first for half of recess, then did princess tea party for the other half. Communicating politely helped us solve the problem!Being a good friend isn't just important on the playground though. It's also really important in the classroom. We have lots of group projects and have to work together. If someone is struggling with their part of the project, the kind thing is to offer help and encouragement, not make fun of them. When we're nice teammates, the whole group does better.Speaking of school, let's talk about teachers for a minute. Your teachers are some of the most important people you deal with every day! They work so hard to make sure you're learning everything you need to know. A good student shows their appreciation by being respectful - following instructions, not interrupting, and treating the teacher kindly. It's definitely not cool to be rude or talk back. Teachers are authority figures and deserve our respect.You know who else we need to be polite and respectful toward? Our parents and family members! Our parents sacrificeso much for us and only want what's best. Even if they sometimes tell us no about something we want, it's because they love us. Throwing tantrums or ignoring them is unacceptable. We need to appreciate everything they do by listening, helping out around the house without complaining, and letting them know we love them.Being kind goes beyond just the people closest to us too. We should treat every person we meet with basic courtesy and respect, even if we don't know them very well. Hold the door for people, say please and thank you, don't push or shove in line. It's easy to tell when someone is being rude, and it makes for an uncomfortable situation.I'll never forget the time I was at the grocery store with my mom and saw two grown-ups being really impolite to each other. One person's cart accidentally ran into the other person's, and instead of saying "Excuse me" or "I'm sorry," they started yelling and cursing at each other right there in the aisle! My mom quickly took me to another aisle because their behavior was so inappropriate. No matter what age you are, there's no excuse to be disrespectful like that.So as you can see, being nice to everyone around us is super duper important! It makes you a better friend, student, child, andoverall person. When we're kind and treat others how we want to be treated, we make the world a little bit brighter. Plus, getting along with people just feels a whole lot better than being mean.I hope this essay has helped you understand why we all need to do our best to be polite, considerate friends. If everyone just takes a little time to spread some kindness each day, think how amazing that could be! Let's all give it a try and make kindness cool. Thanks for reading, guys!篇2Learning to Get Along With Others Is Really ImportantHi there! My name is Jamie and I'm 10 years old. Today I want to talk to you about why it's so super important to learn how to get along well with other people.When I was younger, like in kindergarten, I didn't really understand why I had to share toys or take turns. I just wanted to play with whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted. I remember getting pretty upset sometimes when I had to stop playing with a toy so someone else could have a turn. I may have even hit or pushed another kid a few times because I was so mad about having to share. Big oops!But now that I'm older and (hopefully) a little wiser, I've learned that getting along with others is one of the most important things you can learn in life. The world is full of people - at school, at home, on sports teams, at the park, everywhere! And we all have to interact and live together in a kind and peaceful way.Getting Along at SchoolAt school, it's really important to be friendly and get along with your classmates and teachers. Sure, you may not be best buddies with everyone, but you should do your best to treat people with kindness and respect. After all, you're stuck together in class for many hours each day!I've found that kids who are mean, exclude others, or bully end up being really disliked. And the teachers definitely don't put up with kids being jerks to each other. No one wants to be around a meanie! It makes everything so uncomfortable when there is fighting and tension in the classroom.On the other hand, when everyone makes an effort to get along, the whole vibe at school is just so much nicer. The teachers are happier, the lessons are more fun, and you can actually focus on learning instead of worrying about drama. Youcan make friends more easily too when you're being kind and inclusive.Getting Along at HomeAt home, it's also really important to get along with your family members. I have a younger brother who can be really annoying sometimes. He's always getting into my stuff and bothering me when I'm trying to read or watch TV. In those moments, it's easy to get frustrated and angry with him.But I've learned that just yelling and being mean back doesn't actually solve anything. In fact, it only makes the situation worse and leads to big fights between us. My parents definitely don't like it when we can't get along!The best thing is to take some deep breaths, maybe go to my room for a little while to calm down, and then talk to my brother politely about whatever is bugging me. Using the magic words "please" and "thank you" also helps a lot. When we can communicate respectfully, he's way more likely to actually listen and try to fix the problem.My family is really important to me, and I love them a lot. So getting along is worth the effort because it makes our home life happier and more peaceful for everyone. My parents don't haveto be angry referees all the time. We can actually enjoy being together instead of constantly fighting and bickering.Getting Along in GeneralGetting along well also helps in lots of other parts of life too. When you join a sports team, go to summer camp, do group projects, or make new friends, you have to cooperate and get along with people. No one wants to be around someone who is always rude, bossy, and selfish. That's a total friendship killer.Life is so much better when you're a person who knows how to share, listen to others, follow rules, use manners, and control your emotions in a positive way. People will want to hang out with you more. You'll have an easier time working together on tasks and activities. And you'll avoid a ton of unnecessary conflicts and drama.Of course, getting along isn't always easy. Sometimes people really rub you the wrong way for whatever reason. You may have very different personalities or interests. Or you may get into arguments or misunderstandings.But as long as you keep being the bigger person and kill them with kindness (not literally, of course!), then the badsituations usually don't last too long. Holding grudges or fighting fire with fire only makes things worse.So trust me, learning how to get along with all kinds of people is one of the most valuable skills you can develop. It will help you out everywhere you go - at school, at home, and out in the bigger world too. It can turn enemies into friends. It can stop fights before they even get going. And it can make your own life a whole lot easier and happier too!I'm still working on getting better at this myself. But I'm trying hard to be nice, cooperate, follow rules, and use my manners. Because in the end, that's what makes a stellar human being that others really want to be around. Getting along with others may not be easy, but it's definitely worth it.Well, that's all I've got to say for today. Thanks for reading, and I'll catch you next time! Stay cool and keep on keeping on, my friends.篇3Being Nice to People is Super Important!Hi there! My name is Jamie and I'm 10 years old. Today I want to talk to you about why it's really really important to benice to other people and get along with them. It's something all kids (and grown-ups too!) should learn how to do.First of all, having friends and getting along with people is just way more fun than being mean or arguing all the time. My best friend Sarah and I have the best time together. We play games, tell jokes, and just laugh a bunch. Could you imagine how boring life would be if we were angry with each other instead? No thank you!It also helps you make more friends when you're a nice person that people like being around. The more friends you have, the more people you can play with, talk to when you're feeling sad, and go on adventures with. Friends make life exciting!Plus, teachers and parents really appreciate it when kids are well-behaved and get along in class or at home. They'll be more proud of you and you might even get rewards like extra privileges or treats. Nobody wants to deal with kids fighting and causing trouble all day long. That's just exhausting for the grown-ups.Sometimes kids (and grown-ups too) don't get along because they're different from each other in some way. Maybe one person likes different games than the other, or has a different religion, or is from another country. Those differencesare OK though! The world would be such a boring place if we were all exactly the same.Those differences are actually pretty cool when you think about it. You can learn about new games, try different foods, and discover all sorts of interesting stuff about other cultures when you have friends that are unlike you. As long as you're both respectful of each other, being different isn't a bad thing at all.Now, I'm not saying it's always easy to be kind and get along with people, even when they're different from you. Sometimes people can be annoying or do things that make you angry. When that happens though, it's important to stay calm and try talking it out politely.If simply talking doesn't work, you can walk away for a little bit to cool off. Sometimes taking a break helps a lot. You can also ask a teacher, parent or another grown-up you trust for help working out the disagreement in a fair way. The main thing is not losing your temper or saying mean things you'll regret later.Nobody's perfect and everybody makes mistakes sometimes when it comes to getting along with others. The important thing is recognizing when you messed up, taking responsibility for it, and sincerely apologizing. As long as you're willing to learn fromyour mistakes and keep trying to do better, people will see that you're a good person who genuinely wants to get along.I really hope that after reading this essay, you understand why being kind and getting along with people is so important. It makes you happier, helps you make friends, keeps you out of trouble, allows you to appreciate people's differences, and is just the right thing to do. The world would be an awfully unpleasant place if nobody got along!I try my very best every day to be a kind person who gets along with others, even when it's hard sometimes. It always pays off in the end though. I have lots of great friends, my teachers and parents are proud of me, and I feel good about myself knowing I'm doing the right thing. Getting along with people real is really important and I hope you'll make it a priority too!篇4Why It's Super Duper Important to Learn How to Get Along With PeopleGetting along with other people is one of the most important things you can learn how to do. It's almost as important as learning to read, write and do math! When you get along with people, life is a whole lot easier and way more fun.If you can't get along with others, you'll probably end up feeling lonely, sad and left out a lot. Nobody will want to be your friend or play with you at recess. You might get in a lot of fights and arguments too. That's no fun at all!But if you DO learn how to get along well with people, you'll make tons of friends. You'll get invited to birthday parties and sleepovers. People will want you on their kickball team at gym class. You'll have friends to chat with, play games with, and just goof around with. Life will be an absolute blast!Getting along with others isn't always easy though. Sometimes you'll meet kids who are really different from you. They might look different, talk different, or like different things than you do. Maybe they were born in another country or their family celebrates different holidays. It can be hard to be friends with someone who seems so different at first.But you know what? Once you get to know those kids better, you'll probably realize that you actually have a ton of things in common too! You both like running around at recess, telling funny jokes, and eating pizza. You just have some cultural differences, but that's okay! Those differences are what make the world such an interesting, exciting place.The most important thing is to be kind, friendly and accepting of everyone, no matter how different they might seem at first. Don't judge people before you get to know them. Give everyone a fair chance to be your friend. I'm sure if you do that, you'll end up with SO many awesome friends!Sometimes though, you might run into a kid who is just plain mean and likes being a bully. Maybe they call you names, leave you out on purpose, or even shove you around. That's absolutely NOT okay. Nobody should ever have to put up with a bully.In that situation, you need to stand up for yourself in a calm, confident way. Look the bully in the eye and say something like "I don't like the way you're treating me. Please stop." If they don't stop, you should tell a teacher, principal, parent or other trusted adult right away and keep telling until the bullying stops. Bullies are just insecure kids trying to make themselves feel better by putting others down. Don't let them make you feel bad about yourself!For the most part though, if you go through life with an open mind and an open heart, ready to make new friends, you'll get along just great with others. Be a good listener when people talk to you. Ask them questions about themselves and their lives.Share about your own life too! Find things you have in common and bond over those things.If you happen to disagree about something, that's okay! You don't have to agree on everything to be friends. Just be respectful of their opinion and politely explain yours. As long as you're both kind and willing to compromise when needed, you'll be able to work things out.Getting along with others takes practice, but it's an invaluable skill. The friends you make when you're a kid can often remain your friends for life. How cool is that?! You're forming the foundation for your whole future friend group and social circle.The better you are at making friends and getting along now, the better you'll be at it as a teenager and an adult too. You'll have an easier time getting jobs, being part of teams and groups, and just going through life in general. Humans are not meant to be alone - we need bonds and connections with others. That's why it's so key to start working on your "getting along" skills from a young age.So next time you're at the park, in class, or just hanging out, make an effort to be friendly, smiley and kind. Ask the kids around you questions about their lives. Share things aboutyourself too. Try to find common interests and embrace the things that make each person unique too. Before you know it, you'll have a whole crew of friends surrounding you!Getting along with people takes some work, but it's extremely worth it. Friends make life way more awesome. They'll be there for you through good times and bad. You'll have friends to laugh with, make memories with, and grow up with. You'll never feel lonely or left out when you've got a crew of buddies by your side. What could be better than that?篇5Sure, here's an essay on the importance of learning to get along well with others, written in English with a tone suitable for elementary school students. It's around 2000 words long.Title: Why It's Super Important to Be a Great FriendHey there, friends! Today, I want to talk to you about something really, really important – being a great friend and getting along well with others. You might be thinking, "But I already have friends, and we get along just fine." That's awesome! But trust me, there's always room to become an even better friend.Imagine you're playing a game with your friends, like tag or hide-and-seek. It's so much more fun when everyone follows the rules, takes turns, and doesn't argue or fight, right? That's because when we get along well with others, everything becomes more enjoyable and less stressful.But being a great friend isn't just about having fun. It's also about being there for each other, supporting one another, and making everyone feel included and valued. Just think about how good it feels when your friends cheer you on during a race or a game, or when they comfort you if you're feeling sad or upset.Now, let me tell you a little story. There was once a girl named Emma who wasn't very good at getting along with others. She would often argue with her friends, refuse to share her toys, and sometimes even say mean things to them. As you can imagine, her friends didn't really enjoy playing with her, and she ended up feeling lonely and left out.One day, Emma's teacher noticed how unhappy she was and decided to have a talk with her. The teacher explained that friends are like a special kind of family – they're the people you choose to be close to and share your life with. And just like in a family, it's important to treat each other with kindness, respect, and understanding.The teacher gave Emma some great advice on how to be a better friend. She told her to always try to see things from the other person's point of view, to be patient and listen carefully when someone is talking, and to use kind words and actions. The teacher also said that it's okay to disagree with friends sometimes, but it's important to do it in a respectful way, without yelling or name-calling.Emma took the teacher's advice to heart, and slowly but surely, she started to change her behavior. She began to share her toys more willingly, apologize when she made mistakes, and be more patient and understanding with her friends. And you know what? Her friends noticed the change, and they started to enjoy spending time with her again.Before long, Emma had become one of the most popular and well-liked kids in her class. She had learned that being a great friend isn't just about having fun together – it's about supporting each other, being kind and respectful, and making sure everyone feels included and valued.So, my friends, remember: getting along well with others is one of the most important things in life. It makes everything more enjoyable, reduces stress and conflict, and helps us build strong, lasting relationships with the people we care about.Of course, being a great friend isn't always easy. Sometimes, we might get frustrated or upset with our friends, or we might have disagreements or misunderstandings. But if we remember to be kind, patient, and understanding, and if we always try to see things from the other person's point of view, we'll be well on our way to becoming the best friends we can be.Just imagine how much happier and more peaceful the world would be if everyone treated each other with kindness, respect, and understanding. It might sound like a big dream, but it all starts with each and every one of us, right here, right now, learning to be great friends to those around us.So, let's all make a promise to ourselves and to each other: we'll always strive to be the best friends we can be, and we'll treat others with the same kindness, respect, and understanding that we'd want for ourselves. Because that's what true friendship is all about.What do you say, friends? Are you with me? Let's go out there and show the world how amazing we can be when we work together, support each other, and get along like the great friends we are!。

I have to make my bed, clean my room, load the dishwasher, you name it. At first, I totally didn't want to do any of it. Chores are such a drag, am I right? Why should I have to waste my free time cleaning and doing boring housework? That's what parents are for!But after getting into it (or rather, being forced into it), I've realized chores aren't actually that bad. In fact, I think kids should absolutely have to pitch in and do their part around the house. Allow me to break it down for you:Building Life SkillsOne of the biggest reasons kids need chores is to learn essential life skills. Doing laundry, washing dishes, vacuuming, cleaning bathrooms - this is stuff we'll all need to know how todo when we're adults and living on our own. The sooner we start practicing, the better we'll be by the time we move out.My parents always say, "We won't be around forever to do this stuff for you." As much as I'd love a permanent maid and chef, that's just not realistic. Learning independence through chores sets me up for success later on.Plus, simple tasks like making my bed every morning, as much as I hate it, are teaching me discipline and responsibility. Apparently those are good things to have? Who knew.Feeling of AccomplishmentI have to admit, after I finally stop procrastinating and get my chores done, there's a pretty satisfying feeling. It's like, "Yeah, I did that! This place looks awesome now thanks to me." Maybe that's just because I have a flair for the dramatic.But seeing a freshly vacuumed carpet, shiny clean dishes, or an organized closet (okay, that one might be a stretch) gives me a little burst of pride. It feels good to take care of your living space and put in hard work, even if it's not super fun in the moment.My parents are always complimenting me when I pitch in without being asked, and saying things like "Look at you being so responsible!" The praise feels nice, not going to lie.Helping the FamilyAnother big reason kids need chores is to support the family unit and do our part. The house doesn't magically clean itself, and our parents work really hard. The least us kids can do is lend a hand so they're not stuck with 100% of the housework on top of jobs, errands, cooking, etc.When I think about how much my parents do for me and our family, it only seems fair that I chip in around the house, even if it's not my favorite activity. We all have to pull our weight.My parents have said things like, "We're a team, and this household runs better when everyone contributes." As much as I sometimes disagree with them, they've got a point. Doing chores shows I care about my family and am willing to help out.So in conclusion...At the end of the day, even though chores can be kind of a drag, I get why they're important. They teach crucial skills for becoming an adult, give a sense of accomplishment andresponsibility, and allow kids to be contributing members of the family unit.Could I live without chores and just skate by doing nothing around the house? Sure, and sometimes I'm definitely tempted. But I know it's better for me to do my part and pitch in, as much as my lazy self might protest.My parents always say chores "build character"...and as painful as it is to admit, they might be right. Doing housework may not be super fun, but it's absolutely something all kids should have to do. We've got to start preparing for the real world sometime, right? Now if you'll excuse me, I have a bathroom to go scrub.篇2Should Kids Do Chores? An Essay by a Middle SchoolerDoing chores is just a part of life, at least in my family. Ever since I was little, my parents have given me jobs to do around the house like making my bed, cleaning my room, setting the table, and helping with yard work. Some of my friends think I have it rough, but I actually don't mind doing chores that much. Here's my take on why kids should pitch in with housework.First off, doing chores teaches you responsibility from an early age. My mom always says, "Many hands make light work." When everyone contributes, it's really not that much effort for each person. Taking care of a house and yard is a lot for parents to do all on their own while also working and taking care of kids. By doing chores, kids learn that maintaining a household is hard work that requires everyone's help.Chores also teach important life skills. How many adults do you know who have never learned how to do laundry, cook a basic meal, or do other basic tasks? By learning these skills as a kid, you start adulthood already knowing how to fend for yourself instead of being totally clueless about housework. My parents didn't want me to be that kid who goes off to college and has no idea how to sustain myself.Speaking of going off to college, doing chores helps build character too. It teaches qualities like discipline, time management, and a good work ethic. Let's be honest - no kid really wants to do chores. We'd all much rather be playing video games or hanging out with friends. But developing theself-discipline to do tasks you don't want to do is an important life lesson. It's about taking responsibility and doing your part, even when it's not fun.Doing chores can also bring families closer together, at least in my experience. We'll often turn on some music and all pitch in with cleaning tasks, talking and joking around as we work. Chores create shared memories and a team mentality of working together to tackle jobs. My parents try to keep chores from feeling like just drudgery by getting everyone involved.I get that some kids may face unreasonable expectations around chores. If a child has piles of homework, lots of afterschool activities, and is also expected to do excessive housework, that's not really fair. Also, age-appropriate chores are important - you can't expect a 5-year-old to do tasks that are too difficult or dangerous. Chores should be reasonable and suited for a child's capabilities at different ages.As for payment, well, I'm kind of split on that. I don't get a whole lot of allowance for my regular chores like cleaning my room. But if my parents need extra help with something like a big garden project, they'll sometimes pay me a few bucks. I think it's good to have some expectations of pitching in just because you're part of the family, but also to get paid occasionally for extra work.Overall though, I'm totally in favor of kids doingage-appropriate chores. It's been good for building myself-reliance and work ethic. I see chores as contributing to the family team rather than just drudgery. I'm sure I'll appreciate all these life skills even more when I'm living on my own. So kids, don't be too quick to complain about having to do chores. Doing your part really is good for you in the long run!篇3Should Kids Have to Do Chores?Chores are those annoying tasks our parents are always nagging us to do – clean our rooms, take out the trash, do the dishes, and a bunch of other boring stuff. Personally, I don't think kids should have to do chores. We have enough to deal with between school, extracurriculars, and just being kids without our parents piling more work on us. But I know a lot of adults will disagree with me, so let me explain my reasoning.First off, we're already working hard at school all day. Having to come home and do a bunch of housework feels like our parents are giving us a second job that we didn't sign up for. School is mentally and physically exhausting enough without adding even more responsibilities. By the time I get home, I'm drained from concentrating for six or seven hours straight. The last thing I want is more work!Some parents say chores teach responsibility, but I think we learn that just fine in school. We have homework assignments with deadlines, projects and tests to prepare for. That's already a huge responsibility that most of us take pretty seriously. Fail to be responsible with school work, and you'll get bad grades that could mess up your future. That's more than enough incentive to be responsible.Chores also take up time that could be better spent on extracurriculars, hobbies, and just having fun. I'm involved with band, sports, and a bunch of clubs that are really important to me. Those activities teach teamwork, leadership, and other great life skills. They're also an outlet to de-stress after being cooped up at school all day. Having chores cuts into that precious free time.Even just having time to be a kid and play feels impossible sometimes with all our obligations. When you add chores on top of school, activities, homework, and trying to spend time with family and friends, there's just no room to breathe. Childhoods are way too short as it is without our parents making us be miniature housekeepers too.I know the argument from parents is that we all have to pitch in around the house because we're part of the family. And I getthat to a point. I don't mind doing little things to help out like clearing my dishes or taking out the trash occasionally. But having scheduled, mandatory chore lists where we're expected to do a ton of cleaning and housework every week is just too much in my opinion.My parents both work long hours, so I appreciate that they need some help around the house. But isn't that what families with two working parents are supposed to split the work? One parent cooks, the other cleans up after dinner. One does laundry, the other goes grocery shopping. You get the idea. Why should the bulk of that labor get put on kids when there are twoable-bodied adults in the house?Speaking from experience, chores were always a major source of conflict and resentment in my house growing up. It felt like my childhood was a constant battle over whether I'd done enough cleaning, nagging about staying on top of my chores, punishments when I inevitably fell behind. Is that the kind of miserable environment parents want to create at home? Childhood is stressful enough without making the house a war zone too.Not to mention, a lot of kids just flat out won't do chores or will do a halfhearted, sloppy job since they resent being made todo them. So parents end up having to re-do the work anyway. You can't exactly ground a teenager forever or take away all their privileges without making home life unbearable for everyone. It's a losing battle.I also think making kids do too many chores sends a pretty messed up message about gender roles in the household. Cleaning, laundry, and cooking are stereotypically "women's work," so by making girls do the bulk of that labor, you're reinforcing sexist ideas. With all the talk these days about achieving equality and not forcing outdated gender norms on kids, loading up daughters with chores seems pretty contradictory.Maybe chores were a necessity back in the day when most families had just one parent working while the other stayed home. But in this day and age when both parents are out working and making money to support the household, leaving the housework to the kids just feels like a lazy cop-out to me.Now, I'm sure some kids reading this will say, "Well, I actually like doing chores and find them satisfying!" And hey, more power to you. If your weird little brain gets pleasure from scrubbing toilets, cool. But the vast majority of kids I know despise chores and see them as a hated obligation篇4Should Kids Have to Do Chores?When my mom tells me to clean my room or take out the trash, I always groan and complain. Doing chores is such a drag! All my friends feel the same way. We'd much rather be playing video games, watching YouTube videos, or hanging out. Chores just seem like pointless busywork that takes away from our fun time.But then I remember how mad my parents get if I don't do my chores. They start yelling about being lazy and irresponsible. My dad especially gets all worked up, going on and on about building character and learning discipline. Sometimes they'll even ground me or take away my electronics if I really slack off on my chores for too long. Ugh, parents can be so annoying!I have to admit though, as much as I hate doing chores, some of what my parents say does make sense. It's not like they're asking me to scrub the whole house from top to bottom every day. Just simple stuff like:Making my bedCleaning up after myself in the kitchen and bathroomTaking out the trash and recyclingDoing my own laundryHelping with light yard workWhen I really think about it, those aren't huge difficult tasks. They just require a bit of effort and responsibility on my part. And I can see how doing chores helps me build good habits for the future.Like maybe if I get my own place someday, I'll be used to cleaning up after myself instead of living in a pigpen. Or if I have kids someday, it'll be easier to divide up chores because I was raised doing them. Chores also teach me to pitch in around the house instead of expecting my mom to do absolutely everything for me. She works really hard all day, so it's not fair to leave her with all the housework too.Some of my friends whose parents don't make them do any chores at all are pretty spoiled, lazy, and messy to be honest. Their rooms are constantly trashed and they expect their parents to cook and clean for them hand and foot. As much as we gripe about chores, at least our parents are teaching us a littleself-reliance and life skills.Another reason chores may be important is for kids to learn the value of hard work from an early age. A lot of parents say that doing chores helps build a good work ethic instead of taking everything for granted. If you get paid for doing extra jobs around the house, it can teach money management skills too.I have one friend who does tons of chores and even has an actual job helping out at his grandpa's shop on weekends. He says all that work makes him appreciate having his own money to spend more. It pushes him to study hard too since he knows he'll need good grades to get into college and eventually have a good career to support himself. I can't decide if he's really wise and mature for his age or just totally crazy!Personally, I think a balanced moderate approach to chores is probably best. Not a total free ride with no responsibilities. But also not going totally overboard either to the point where a kid has no free time or childhood at all. We're still kids after all, andour main "job" is just to have fun, learn, and enjoy our childhood while we can.Maybe like 30 minutes to an hour of basic age-appropriate chores per day is fair? Enough to learn good habits and pitch in around the house without going overboard. And maybe tiechores to allowance or privileges as a reward system to motivate kids more.I'll be the first to admit, doing chores isn't my favorite activity and I'll likely keep complaining about them for years to come. But when I really think it through, I can understand why my parents make me do them. As much as I hate to admit it, they're actually doing me a favor in the long run and preparing me for the future. Even if I don't fully appreciate it until I'm older!So in conclusion, while no kid really loves or wants to do chores, they're probably a necessary evil. A balanced moderate approach to making kids do basic age-appropriate chores seems to be the best way to go in my opinion. Not too much to ruin our childhood fun, but also not a total free ride either. It helps kids build important life skills, work ethic, and sense of responsibility.篇5Should Kids Do Chores? An Essay by a 7th GraderChores - that dreaded word that makes every kid cringe. We already have to deal with homework, tests, activities, and trying to have a social life. Do we really need another thing to add to our never-ending to-do lists? A lot of kids think chores are stupidand pointless. But I actually think doing chores is really important for kids like me. Here's why:First off, doing chores teaches us valuable life skills. Sure, we may not be heading off to college or getting our own places anytime soon. But the day will come when we're adults and have our own homes to take care of. If we never did any chores as kids, how are we supposed to know how to do laundry, clean properly, or cook a decent meal? Chores give us a head start on mastering basic adulting skills.I'll be honest, when my parents first started making me do chores like taking out the trash, loading the dishwasher, and vacuuming, I thought it was sooo unfair. What did I need to learn that stuff for? I'm just a kid! But looking back now, I realize how helpful it was to start building those habits early. Now doing chores is just part of my routine, not some huge inconvenience. My friends who never had chores are struggling hard with that kind of basic self-care.Another big reason kids should do chores is that it teaches us responsibility. Having chores means homework, sports, and video games can't always come first. We have certain jobs we're expected to do around the house, no excuses. And if we don't do them, there are consequences. This preps us for the real worldwhere we'll have responsibilities at work, deadlines to meet, and people counting on us to get stuff done.Some of my chores, like doing my own laundry, cleaning my bathroom, and taking out the trash, are solely my responsibility. If I slack off on them, my mom can't do them for me - my room will be a pit and I'll have no clean clothes. Learning to be responsible for certain tasks has helped me develop betterself-discipline and time management skills. I procrastinate way less now because I know the outcomes affect me directly. Chores give us a small taste of what it will be like when we're adults and our choices determine our living situation.Another reason I'm grateful my parents made me start doing chores is because it taught me not to be so entitled and lazy. I used to just expect my mom to do everything for me - cleaning up after me, making my meals, doing my laundry. Having chores forced me to pitch in and help out around the house. It made me realize how much work goes into running a household smoothly. That made me way more appreciative of all the cooking, cleaning, and chores my mom does for the family. Doing chores helped me stop taking her for granted and see her more as a partner we all need to help out.I won't lie, doing chores can be a drag sometimes. Some weeks I have a ton of homework or activities and the last thing I want to do is clean the bathroom or mop the floors. But my parents always remind me that chores aren't optional - we all have to pitch in for the family. And I get that doing my fair share builds character.My chores have also helped me learn how to do quality work. In our house, you can't just rush through chores or do ahalf-effort job. My parents insist we do our chores thoroughly and to the best of our ability. When I clean the bathroom, I have a whole checklist of tasks to complete like scrubbing the tub and toilet, mopping, wiping down counters and mirrors, and restocking supplies. I don't get to move on until each item is done correctly. The same goes for other chores like vacuuming, taking out the trash and recycling properly, and keeping my room neat. Doing chores has raised my standards and pride in my work.篇6Should Kids Do Chores? An Essay by a 7th GraderDoing chores is something that pretty much every kid has to deal with at some point. Our parents are always nagging us tomake our beds, clean our rooms, help with yard work, and a bunch of other tasks around the house. It's really annoying and cuts into our free time for playing video games, watching YouTube, or just hanging out with friends. A lot of us kids think chores are stupid and pointless. But I've been thinking about it, and I actually think making kids do chores is a good thing overall, for a few key reasons.First off, chores teach us important life skills that we'll need when we're adults and have our own places. Can you imagine being a grown-up and not knowing how to do laundry, wash dishes, vacuum a room, or any of that basic stuff? Our parents aren't going to be around forever to do everything for us. By making us pitch in with chores now, they're helping prepare us to be self-sufficient later on. It may not seem fun now, but someday we'll be glad we learned how to take care of a home and not live in a total pigsty.Doing chores also helps kids learn about responsibility. When you have a chore, it's your job to get it done properly and on time, without your parents having to nag you about it a million times. That's kind of like how it'll be when we're older and have jobs - you have to show up and do your work, or else you'll get in trouble or even fired. Chores teach you that actions (orlack of actions) have consequences. If you shirk your responsibilities, your room stays a mess or the lawn doesn't get mowed. That seems like a boring lesson, but it's getting you ready for the real world.Another good thing about chores is that they get you into the habit of pitching in and helping out, instead of just expecting other people to do everything for you. Households with kids run a lot smoother when everyone lends a hand, instead of leaving all the work for the parents. It's a simple way to teach kids about being part of a family unit and doing your fair share. Plus, helping out around the house shows you care about your family and home, and that feels kind of good.I'll admit, there are downsides to kids having chores too. The workload can seem unfair if you have a lot of chores while your siblings have less. Some chores are also kind of gross, like taking out the smelly trash or cleaning hairy shower drains (barf!). And yeah, chores do take away time that could be spent on fun stuff. No kid wants to be elbow-deep in dishwater when they could be playing outside or watching cartoons.But overall, I think the pros of chores outweigh the cons. Doing chores may stink in the moment, but it's setting you up with vital skills for adulthood. It builds discipline, responsibility,and a good work ethic. It brings families closer through teamwork. And it keeps your home from descending into a crazy mess (which is how a lot of teenage guys' bedrooms look - am I right?).So as much as we may groan and moan about it, Deep down, I think most of us know our parents are doing the right thing by giving us chores. Chores teach us stuff we need to know. They make our lives easier in the long run by helping us become capable, responsible, clean-living adults someday. And they bring families together by sharing duties instead of leaving all the work to mom and dad.I'm definitely gonna keep complaining about having to take out the trash or fold laundry. But I also know that someday, when I'm old enough to live on my own, I'll be really grateful for everything I learned by doing chores as a kid. It's a key part of growing up and becoming a productive human being. So as much as I may hate chores now, I have to admit...they're worth it. Thanks for letting me vent, but also for giving me these annoying-but-necessary responsibilities, parents! Maybe someday I'll appreciate it...but I'm not holding my breath.。

老年人和年轻人之间的不同的英语作文全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1The Differences Between Old and Young PeopleOld people and young people are really different in a lot of ways. I've noticed this by watching the older people in my family, like my grandparents, and then my friends at school who are the same age as me. We act totally different and like different things!One of the biggest differences is how old people and young people spend their free time. My grandparents love doing things like watching TV, reading books, doing puzzles, and going on walks. Those things are pretty boring to me and my friends. We would rather play video games, go to the park, have sleepovers, and just run around being silly. Old people seem to like quiet activities, while young people like being active and loud.We also dress really differently. My grandpa wears boring pants and sweater vests a lot. My grandma wears floral dresses and sensible shoes. Me and my friends want to wear whatever is coolest - ripped jeans, t-shirts with our favorite characters, sparkly shoes, that kind of thing. Grown-ups don't seem to careas much about dressing stylishly. They just want to be comfortable.Another difference is that old people are a lot more patient and relaxed. My grandparents never seem to be in a hurry about anything. But my parents are always rushing me and my siblings around - hurry up and get ready for school, hurry and clean your room, hurry and eat your dinner. Young people always have energy and want things done quickly. But maybe when I'm an old person I'll be patient like my grandparents are.I've noticed old people complain about being tired and having aches and pains a lot too. They say things like "My back is killing me after working in the garden" or "I'm exhausted from running errands all day." My friends and I never feel like that! We could run and play all day and night without getting worn out. I guess being young means you have a lot more energy.Older people also don't understand a lot of the stuff me and my friends like, especially technology. My grandparents can barely work their old laptop or smartphone. But me and my friends are experts at all the latest video games, apps, and devices. We try teaching the older people in our families about technology, but they just don't get it. I guess when you're old, it's harder to learn new things, especially complicated tech stuff.Old people seem to know more stuff than young people though. They're a lot smarter from living longer and having more experiences. Whenever I ask my grandparents a question, they have some wise advice or interesting story to share. And they're better at practical skills like cooking, gardening, fixing things around the house. My friends and I don't know how to do anything like that yet since we're still learning. I'll have to get smart like my grandparents when I'm older.Even though there are lots of differences between old and young people, we do have some things in common too. We all like spending time with our families, eating good food, laughing at funny jokes, and doing hobbies we enjoy. I guess those are just part of being a human no matter how old you are.Being around my grandparents and other older people makes me wonder what I'll be like when I'm their age. Will I still have lots of energy and want to dress stylishly? Or will I be relaxed, patient, and prefer quiet activities? I'll have to wait and see what getting older is like. For now, I'll just enjoy being a kid and doing all the things that young people like me love to do!篇2The Big Differences Between Grandparents and KidsGrandparents and kids are like two different planets in the same solar system. We might live together or see each other often, but we're so unlike each other in many ways. I've noticed lots of differences between my grandparents and me and my friends. Here are some of the biggest ones:Grandparents are Super Slow!Have you ever tried walking with your grandparents? It's like they're moving in slow motion! My grandpa takes tiny, shuffling steps, and it feels like forever to get anywhere. When we go for walks, I'm always way ahead, waiting impatiently for them to catch up. And don't even get me started on how long it takes them to do anything on a computer or phone!They Worry About EverythingGrandparents seem to worry about every little thing. If I forget my jacket, my grandma acts like I'll catch pneumonia and end up in the hospital. If I want to climb a tree or ride my bike down a hill, my grandpa warns me about broken bones and concussions. Sometimes I think they imagine the worst-case scenario for everything!Their Taste in Food is So BlandMy friends and I love all kinds of flavors – spicy, sour, sweet, you name it! But my grandparents' idea of good food is plain and boring. They like everything boiled or steamed with hardly any seasoning. No wonder they have to put salt and pepper on everything! Where's the excitement?They Dress So... Old-FashionedHave you seen how grandparents dress? It's like they're stuck in a time warp from decades ago! My grandpa wears those high-waisted pants that come up to his armpits, and my grandma loves those floral print dresses that look like they're from the 1950s. They clearly don't care about looking cool or trendy.They're Always Talking About "The Good Old Days"Whenever my grandparents get together with their friends, they start reminiscing about "the good old days." They go on and on about how much better things used to be when they were young – the TV shows, the music, the values, you name it. It's like they think everything today is worse than it was back then. Hello, have they seen the amazing video games and technology we have now?They Fall Asleep Everywhere!My grandparents could fall asleep anywhere, anytime. I've seen them doze off while watching TV, reading the newspaper, or even in the middle of a conversation! It's like they have a built-in sleep mode that activates randomly. Maybe it's because they wake up so early in the morning (like, before the sun is even up!).They Repeat Themselves... Constantly!Have you noticed how grandparents seem to tell the same stories over and over again? My grandpa will start a story about his time in the army, and before he's even finished, my grandma will say, "You've already told us that one a hundred times!" But he'll just keep going like he didn't hear her. It's like their brains are stuck on rewind or something.They're Always Complaining About SomethingGrandparents sure do love to complain! Whether it's about the weather, the prices at the grocery store, or the way young people dress these days, they always seem to find something to grumble about. My friends and I try to stay positive and have fun, but our grandparents can be such grumpy grumps sometimes.They Ask the Weirdest QuestionsEver had a grandparent ask you a question that makes absolutely no sense? Like, "Why don't you kids ever play marbles anymore?" or "Whatever happened to hula hoops?" It's like they're living in a different reality sometimes. And good luck trying to explain modern trends or technology to them – it just goes right over their heads!But... They Give the Best Hugs and Cookies!Despite all their quirks and differences, there's one thing grandparents are experts at: giving warm, loving hugs and baking the most delicious cookies and treats. Whenever I'm feeling down or just need a pick-me-up, my grandparents are always there with open arms and a fresh batch of chocolate chip cookies. That's something kids and grandparents can definitely agree on!So, there you have it – some of the biggest differences between grandparents and kids. We might seem like we're from different planets sometimes, but at the end of the day, we're all part of the same family. And who knows, maybe when I'm a grandparent someday, the kids will think I'm just as weird and outdated as I think my grandparents are now!篇3The Differences Between Older and Younger PeopleHave you ever noticed how different older people are from younger people? I've spent a lot of time thinking about this, and there are so many ways they are not the same. Let me tell you about some of the biggest differences I've noticed.First, older people and younger people look really different from each other. Older people have wrinkly skin and white or grey hair, while younger people have smooth skin and hair in all different colors like blonde, brown, red, and black. Older people also move slower and have a harder time getting around. My grandma has to use a walker to get from one room to the other. But younger people are fast and energetic and can run around all day without getting tired.Another big difference is how older and younger people act. Older people are usually more serious and don't laugh or smile as much. They get upset easily if you make too much noise or make a mess. My grandpa is always telling me to be quieter and cleaner. But younger people are a lot more fun and playful. We laugh at silly jokes, play around by being loud and messy on purpose, and just like to have a good time. Older people also don't understand a lot of the stuff younger people like, like video games, social media, or the latest songs and TV shows.The way older and younger people think is also really different. Older people think about serious things and worry a lot, like about their health, money, politics, and other boring grown-up topics. But younger people don't think too much about that stuff. We're more focused on having fun, playing games, and just being kids. Older people also have reallyold-fashioned views and believe in lots of rules, while younger people have more modern, open-minded views.Older and younger people even talk differently. Older people use longer words and speak more properly and formally. But younger people use shorter, simpler words and a lot more slang words that we make up. We also speak way faster than older people do. Sometimes it's hard for grandparents to understand what kids are saying because we use so much slang!The activities that older and younger people enjoy are totally different too. Older people like calm, quiet activities like reading books, watching TV, gardening, or doing puzzles. But those things are way too boring for younger people like me. We want to do active, loud, energetic stuff like playing sports, running around outside, dancing, and playing video games. Whenever my parents try to get me to do grandma-type activities like knitting or bird watching, I get so bored after about 2 minutes.You can really see the differences when older and younger people use technology too. Older people have such a hard time with anything tech-related. They get so confused by computers, smartphones, apps, and websites. It takes them forever just to send a text message or check their email. But for younger people, we understand all that technology stuff naturally because we grew up with it. We can use ten apps at once, no problem!Even though there are so many differences between older and younger people, I still really love spending time with my grandparents and other older relatives and neighbors. They've lived such long, interesting lives and have so many wise insights and cool stories to share if you take the time to listen. And while they might not always understand me and my friends, they do try their best. Older people can learn a thing or two from us younger people about being more fun, energetic, and open-minded too.I just hope that when I'm an older person someday, I'll still be young at heart. I'll try to stay active, keep learning about the newest stuff instead of being stuck in the past, and spend time with young people so I don't turn into a serious, strict grandpa who's always grumpy and yelling at kids to stay off my lawn! Maybe if we understand each other's differences a little better, younger and older people can meet in the middle.篇4The Differences Between Old and Young PeopleHi there! My name is Sam and I'm going to tell you about the differences I've noticed between old people and young people like me. I've got lots of grandparents and great-grandparents, and I also have friends at school, so I get to see both old and young people up close!The first big difference is how they look on the outside. Old people have wrinkly skin, especially on their face and hands. Their skin gets kind of saggy and not tight like young people's skin. They also usually have gray or white hair, while kids my age have hair that's lots of different colors - brown, blonde, red, black. Some old people are bald too and don't have any hair at all on their head!Another thing that's really different is their energy levels. My grandparents and other old people I know tend to get tired more easily. They like to take naps during the day and go to bed pretty early at night. Kids my age have way more energy - we can run around and play for hours without getting tired! I guess as you get older your body just doesn't have as much zip.The way old and young people think and talk is pretty different too. Little kids are learning new things all the time, so we ask a million questions about everything. "Why is the sky blue? Where do babies come from? How do planes stay up in the air?" We're curious about the whole world! Older people have already learned so much stuff from living a long time, so they don't ask as many questions. They share their wisdom and life lessons with us instead.Speaking of talking, old people seem to talk more slowly compared to kids. My grandparents take their time saying things, while my friends and I rattle on a mile a minute! I'm not sure if old people just get used to a slower pace or if it's harder for them to talk fast. Either way, it takes some getting used to when you're a kid with a zippy way of chatting.There's also a big difference in what old and young people like to do for fun. My great-grandparents love watching old movies and shows, reading books, and doing quiet activities like knitting or woodworking. Those kinds of hobbies seem pretty boring to me and my friends! We want to run around outside, play video games, and be active and loud. I guess those high energy activities seem too tiring for really old people.Old people's houses feel different than kids' houses too. There aren't a bunch of toys all over the place, and you have to be really quiet and careful so you don't break any of their fragile decorations and antiques. At home I can be as rowdy as I want without worrying about that stuff! The smells are different too - old people's houses often have gramdma smells like baking and potpourri, while my house just smells like whatever food my mom just cooked.I could probably list a hundred other ways that old and young people are different, like their health issues, their clothing styles, how they use technology, and so on. The most important difference of all to me though is how much I can learn from older people's wisdom and life experience. Sure, we look super different on the outside and have different energy levels and hobbies. But they've lived so much life already and can teach me so many things about the world. I'm lucky to have lots of great older people in my life to learn from. And who knows, maybe when I'm a wrinkly old person myself one day, I'll get to pass on some wisdom to the young folks then too!篇5Certainly! Here's an essay on the differences between the elderly and the young, written from a primary school student's perspective, with a length of around 2000 words in English.Grandma's World and My WorldDo you ever wonder why grandparents and kids seem to live in different worlds? Well, I sure do! My grandma and I are like two peas from totally different pods. We're worlds apart in so many ways, but that's what makes us a fun pair.First off, let's talk about how we look. Grandma's got these cute little wrinkles all over her face, like she's been smilin' her whole life. Me, on the other hand? I'm as smooth as a baby's bottom! Grandma's hair is white as a cloud, while mine's a crazy mess of different colors every week (thanks, Mom!). And let's not even get started on our clothes. Grandma loves her floral dresses and comfy slippers, but you'll catch me rockin' the latest trends from the mall.Speaking of the mall, that's another big difference between us. Grandma thinks malls are these newfangled places where kids just waste their time and money. For me? The mall is like a second home! I could spend hours window shopping, trying on clothes, and dreaming about all the cool stuff I want.Then there's technology. Grandma still uses an ancient flip phone that's older than I am! She gets all confused when I try to show her how to use apps or take selfies. But for me and my friends, our phones are like extra limbs. We're glued to them24/7, snapchatting, tweeting, and keeping up with the latest TikTok trends.But you know what? Despite all our differences, Grandma and I have a special bond. She might not understand my obsession with video games or why I have to wear my hair in a different crazy style every week, but she always listens and tries her best to be supportive. And I love hearing her stories about "the good old days" when she was a kid. It's like getting a glimpse into a whole different world!One thing we definitely agree on is our love for food. Grandma's an amazing cook, and she's always whipping up these delicious homecooked meals that smell amazing. And even though I'm a total pizza and burger kid, I can't resist her famous chocolate chip cookies. We might have different tastes, but we both enjoy a good meal together.At the end of the day, Grandma and I may seem like total opposites, but we're two peas in a pod when it comes to loving and accepting each other's quirks. She's always there to give mea big hug and tell me how proud she is of me, even if she doesn't quite understand my crazy kid ways. And I'm there to keep her company, make her laugh, and maybe even teach her a thing or two about the modern world.So, if you ever feel like your grandparents are from a different planet, just remember: that's what makes them special. They've seen and done things we can only imagine, and they've got a lifetime of wisdom and love to share with us young'uns. And who knows? Maybe in a few decades, we'll be the ones confusing our grandkids with our outdated ways!篇6The Big Differences Between Old and YoungOlder people and younger people are really different in a lot of ways. I've noticed this by watching the older people in my family, like my grandparents, and then my friends at school who are around my age. We act totally different and like different things. Here are some of the biggest differences I've seen:Moving and Energy LevelsOne of the most obvious differences is how slowly older people move and act compared to kids my age. Mygrandparents walk so slowly, taking tiny little steps everywhere they go. Meanwhile, me and my friends are running around full speed, jumping, climbing trees, and being active all day long. We have way more energy than they do.My grandpa especially moves at a snail's pace. He shuffles his feet and hunches over with a cane. In the mornings, he groans and stretches for like 10 minutes before he can get out of bed. But when I wake up, I'm bouncing off the walls with energy right away. I can't imagine moving that slowly.Older people seem to get tired much more easily too. After just a little bit of walking, my grandparents need to stop and catch their breath. They take naps almost every day. Kids my age can run around playing tag or soccer for hours before we finally start slowing down. We have way more stamina and endurance.Interests and ActivitiesThe activities older and younger people like are really different too. My grandparents' favorite activities are low-key things like watching TV, reading books, doing crossword puzzles, and just sitting outside on the porch. Those things bore me to tears! I need activities that are exciting, fast-paced, and get my heart pumping.I love playing sports like baseball and video games that require quick reflexes. My friends and I are totally obsessed with Fortnite andCall of Duty right now. We can play those games for hours on end. But my grandpa doesn't understand the appeal at all. He says they "rotted my brain" and are "a waste of time." To him, sitting in a chair quietly is the ideal activity. No thanks!We also have completely different tastes in entertainment. My grandparents watch old black-and-white movies and listen to old music from when they were young, like Elvis and Frank Sinatra. That stuff puts me to sleep within 5 minutes. I'd way rather watch an action movie with superheroes and cool special effects or listen to hip hop or rock music. Anything with a bit of excitement and energy appeals way more to me than the stuff older people like.Using TechnologyOlder and younger people also use technology in totally different ways. Kids my age were basically born using smartphones, tablets, and computers. We can navigate all the latest apps, websites, and gadgets with ease. It's like second nature to us.But every time I try to help my grandparents use any kind of new technology, they are completely lost and overwhelmed.They can barely even work the TV remote control. Whenever they get a new cell phone or computer, they constantly need my help to do the most basic things. My grandma will call me up saying "I can't send a text message!" or "How do I check my email?" It's kind of hilarious how little they understand about technology.When I'm doing my homework on the computer and quickly shifting between multiple browser windows, apps, and documents, my grandpa is always like "How are you doing that? It's like you're a computer yourself!" But to me, it feels perfectly natural and intuitive. Older people really struggle with a lot of the technology that is second nature to kids these days.Personality and MindsetIn addition to our different behaviors and interests, older and younger people just seem to think about things in really different ways overall. We have pretty opposite mindsets.Most older people I know have a pretty rigid,set-in-their-ways type of mentality. They've had the same habits and routines for decades, and they don't like to deviate much from those patterns. They prefer things to be stable, predictable, and familiar. Change and anything unusual makes them anxious and uncomfortable.But for kids my age, we embrace and crave change, spontaneity, and new experiences. We get bored doing the same things over and over. We're always looking for the latest trends and new adventures to make life more exciting and unpredictable. When things are too routine and repetitive, we get restless quickly.Older people also tend to be more serious, while we kids are more playful and silly. My grandparents rarely laugh or joke around. They get flustered when kids my age are being goofy and not taking things seriously enough in their opinion. But I think laughing and not taking everything so seriously is one key to being a kid! We see the humor in little things that adults wouldn't even notice.Summing It UpSo in a nutshell, older people and younger people's lives look pretty different. We have vastly different energy levels, interests, use of technology, and overall mindsets. I imagine people must go through some pretty big mindset shifts and changes in their behavior as they transition from being a young kid to being an older adult over many decades.For now, I'll just keep embracing my youthful side - running around nonstop, playing video games, using tech like it's secondnature, cracking jokes with my friends, and being spontaneous.I can't imagine living at an old person's snail pace...at least not for a few more decades! But I do wonder, will I eventually turn into a slow, technology-confused, serious old person too? I guess only time will tell!。
四级英语作文关于室友和谐相处
四级英语作文关于室友和谐相处全文共3篇示例，供读者参考篇1Living with Roommates: The Keys to HarmonyCollege life is an exciting new adventure full of possibilities and challenges. One of the biggest adjustments many students face is living with roommates for the first time. Going from having your own space to sharing a room, and even a bathroom, with someone you may not know very well can be a tough transition. However, with some effort, patience and consideration for each other, roommates can live together harmoniously.As an undergrad, I've had my fair share of roommate experiences - some good, and some not so good. I've learned that making your shared living space a comfortable home for everyone requires mutual respect, open communication, and compromise. If just one roommate is unwilling to put in the work, it can lead to tension, resentment and an unpleasant living situation for all.I remember my freshman year roommate like it was yesterday. Jason and I had been randomly assigned to share a tiny dorm room. We were basically strangers who had extremely different lifestyles and habits. I was more of a neat freak who preferred earlier bedtimes to accommodate my 8am classes. Jason was a self-described "night owl" who kept odd hours and struggled to keep our room tidy. Within a couple of weeks, the pile of his dirty laundry and snack wrappers had started to take over his side of the room.At first, I didn't say anything because I didn't want to start any conflicts so early in the year. But as the mess grew larger and started drifting over to my side, I knew I had to speak up before it became a huge issue. I decided on a friendly,non-confrontational approach, saying something like "Hey man, I've noticed things are getting a bit cluttered over there. What if we take some time this weekend to tidy up and get organized? I can help if you want." Jason seemed receptive and we were able to clear out the room together while having a honest discussion about cleanliness expectations.That initial conversation exemplified how important communication is with roommates. It allowed us to get on the same page and avoid letting resentments build up. From thatpoint on, whenever I had an issue, I would bring it up in a respectful way, and I encouraged Jason to do the same. We established a culture of open dialogue in our room.Of course, compromise is also essential for keeping the peace. You have to be willing to be flexible and make concessions at times for the sake of your roommate. There were plenty of occasions where I had to compromise with Jason, like letting him have friends over when I wanted a quiet room to study, or alternating who got control of the thermostat each week. As long as we each gave a little, we made it work.Setting clear boundaries is another key aspect. Early on, Jason and I discussed our preferences and limits when it came to things like having guests over, quiet hours, borrowing each other's belongings without asking, and general common courtesy. We respected each other's boundaries, which minimized friction.I've had other roommates who embodied the exact opposite approach - the "every man for himself" mentality with no regard for creating a cohesive living environment. These scenarios were inevitably marked by passive-aggressiveness, inconsideration and lack of cooperation. Let me tell you, having a roommate who constantly leaves a mess in the shared bathroom or blasts musicat 3am when you have an exam the next day is incredibly frustrating and exhausting to deal with.When considering how to get along with future roommates, I highly recommend putting in the effort to get to know them as individuals. Not just surface level, but their interests, personalities, lifestyles, and expectations. The deeper your understanding of each other, the easier it becomes to navigate sharing Close quarters. When you humanize your roommate and build rapport, you're much more likely to treat each other with care and respect.Of course, sometimes despite your best efforts, you and your roommate may just be too incompatible. In cases of severely clashing personalities or a roommate who is completely unwilling to compromise, it may be best to explore getting a room change if possible. An extremely negative living situation can unfortunately impact your mental health, grades and overall college experience.However, if given the choice, I believe it's worth putting in the work to try and make roommate life harmonious. The communication skills, emotional intelligence and sharing of different perspectives can be valuable learning experiences. I know my ability to work through conflicts with roommates willmake me a better coworker, friend and overall person in the future.If you're nervous about having roommates, that's completely understandable and valid. It's unfamiliar territory for most of us. My best advice is to go into it with an open mind, clear communication, willingness to compromise within reason, and a commitment to creating a living space that works for everyone. With the right mindset and effort, you might just gain a friend or two in the process of navigating roommate life.篇2Living With Roommates: The Keys to HarmonyAs a university student, having roommates is just part of the experience. While it can be a great way to make new friends and have company, living with others also comes with its challenges. Over the last few years of dorm life, I've learned some valuable lessons about how to get along harmoniously with roommates. It's all about open communication, mutual respect, and being a little flexible.The very first key is choosing your roommates wisely if you have that option. You'll want to room with people who have similar living habits and lifestyles as you. If you're a neat freak,probably don't room with a total slob. If you like to go to bed early, maybe don't room with a night owl. Pay attention to potential red flags during the matching process. Having a roommate you're basically incompatible with from the start is just asking for conflict.That said, even if you and your roommates seemed like a good fit at first, differences are bound to crop up once you're actually living together day in and day out. That's where communication becomes crucial. If something is bothering you, don't let it fester – speak up about it respectfully as soon as possible. For example, if a roommate's loud music or watching TV without headphones at 2am is keeping you awake, ask them politely if they can please keep it down after midnight. Having that conversation right away prevents a lot of resentment from building up.And be open to listening if your roommates have anything they'd like you to adjust too. Maybe you have a habit of leaving dishes in the sink for days or letting your smelly laundry pile up that's driving them crazy. If that's the case, just own it and make an effort to be better about it. We all have our quirks that can drive others mad when you live in close quarters. A little give and take goes a long way.Beyond having those touch-base conversations, it's also wise for roommates to lay down some mutually agreed upon rules and boundaries from the get-go. What are the quiet hours? How are communal areas and chores being shared? Are guests allowed to sleep over? Getting on the same page about stuff like that prevents so many fights down the road. And if issues do still come up, you can refer back to what you all decided was fair.Speaking of guests, that's another thing roommates need to be respectful about. Having a friend or partner crashing on the couch for a night probably won't bother most folks. But having someone basically live in your room who isn't paying rent? Oh hell no. That's just inconsiderate to those whose names aren't on the lease but still have to share the space. Make sure any overnight guests are OK'd by everyone first and don't make them a regular thing.Basically, it all comes down to being considerate of the fact that you're sharing a home with others. Which means being clean, being quiet at reasonable hours, and not monopolizing shared spaces. I've had roommates who would stomp around like elephants at 6am or leave half-eaten food molding on the counter for weeks. Like, have some self-awareness that otherpeople live here too! Just being a decent human being with some manners honestly goes a really long way.Of course, we all slip up sometimes and do annoying little roommate things now and then. The key is owning up to it, apologizing sincerely, and then not making it a regular occurrence. Maybe you drunkenly stumbled in screaming at 3am one night after a party. Just say "Hey, my bad, that was rude of me and it won't happen again." And then actually don't let it happen again. One small mistake can be forgiven, but a pattern of inconsiderate behavior is what breeds resentment.And finally, on the flip side of things, make an effort to do nice things for your roommates too. Maybe surprise them by cleaning up the kitchen after it's become a war zone. Or offer to pick up some groceries for them when you're out shopping if you know they're running low. Little gestures to show you're all in this together go such a long way toward promoting a positive living environment with good vibes all around.At the end of the day, harmonious living with roommates is all about mutual respect, clear communication, and putting in reasonable effort to be considerate of one another. We're all just trying to get an education, keep our spaces clean, and have a decent quality of life. Following some simple roommateetiquette really isn't that hard if you just think about how to be a good human being. With a little teamwork, having roommates doesn't have to be a source of stress at all. It can actually be pretty great.篇3Living with Roommates: A Guide to HarmoniousCo-ExistenceAs a university student, having roommates is pretty much an inevitable part of the experience. Whether you're in a dorm or sharing an apartment off-campus, you'll likely have to navigate the joys and challenges of co-living at some point. While having roommates can be an incredible opportunity to make new friends and create lasting memories, it also requires a certain level of understanding, compromise, and respect for personal boundaries.I've had my fair share of roommate experiences, both good and bad, and I've learned a few valuable lessons along the way. In this essay, I'll share some insights and tips that have helped me maintain harmonious relationships with my roommates, ensuring that our living space remains a peaceful and enjoyable environment for all.Communication is KeyOne of the most important aspects of living with roommates is open and honest communication. It's essential to establish clear expectations and boundaries right from the start. Have a sit-down conversation with your roommates and discuss topics such as cleanliness standards, quiet hours, guest policies, and shared responsibilities. This open dialogue will help prevent misunderstandings and resentment from building up later on.Additionally, make an effort to keep the lines of communication open throughout your living arrangement. If you have concerns or issues, address them respectfully and in a timely manner. Avoid letting frustrations fester, as this can lead to unnecessary tension and conflict.Respect Personal Space and PrivacyEven though you're sharing a living space, it's crucial to respect each other's personal space and privacy. Avoid entering your roommate's room without permission, and don't borrow or use their belongings without asking first. If you need to have a conversation with them, knock before entering their room, and be mindful of their personal time.Remember, your living space is a shared environment, but everyone deserves a sense of privacy and personal sanctuary. Respect these boundaries, and your roommates will likely reciprocate.Share Responsibilities FairlyLiving with roommates often means sharing responsibilities for household chores and maintenance. Establish a system for dividing tasks such as cleaning common areas, taking out the trash, and doing dishes. You could create a chore chart or rotate responsibilities on a weekly or monthly basis.It's essential to ensure that the workload is distributed fairly among all roommates. If one person consistently falls behind or neglects their responsibilities, it can lead to resentment and tension within the household. Hold each other accountable in a respectful manner, and be willing to pitch in when someone needs a helping hand.Compromise and Be ConsiderateLiving with roommates inevitably involves compromises and considerations. You may have different schedules, study habits, or preferred levels of noise and activity. It's essential to find amiddle ground and be considerate of each other's needs and preferences.If you need to study late at night, use headphones or find a quiet study space outside of your shared living area. If your roommate has an early class, be mindful of noise levels in the morning. Small gestures of consideration can go a long way in maintaining a harmonious living environment.Embrace Diversity and Learn from Each OtherOne of the incredible benefits of having roommates is the opportunity to learn from individuals with diverse backgrounds, cultures, and perspectives. Embrace this diversity and use it as a chance to broaden your horizons and gain a deeper understanding of different lifestyles and belief systems.Exchange stories, share traditions, and learn about each other's cultures. You may discover new foods, music, or customs that you never knew existed. Approach these experiences with an open mind and a willingness to learn, and you'll not only strengthen your relationships with your roommates but also enrich your personal growth.Foster a Positive Living EnvironmentFinally, make an effort to create a positive and welcoming living environment for everyone. Decorate shared spaces with things that make you all feel at home, and plan occasional communal activities like movie nights or game nights. These shared experiences can help strengthen your bonds and create lasting memories.Additionally, be mindful of your own actions and attitudes. Greet your roommates with a smile, offer words of encouragement during stressful times, and celebrate each other's successes and milestones. A positive and supportive living environment can make all the difference in fostering a harmonious co-living experience.Living with roommates can be both challenging and rewarding. By prioritizing open communication, respecting personal boundaries, sharing responsibilities fairly, embracing diversity, and fostering a positive living environment, you can navigate the roommate experience with grace and create lasting friendships along the way.Remember, co-living is a learning experience, and there may be bumps in the road. Approach these challenges with patience, understanding, and a willingness to compromise. If you encounter conflicts or issues that seem insurmountable, don'thesitate to seek guidance from a resident advisor, counselor, or trusted mentor.Ultimately, the key to harmonious co-living is recognizing that you and your roommates are all on a journey of personal growth and self-discovery. Treat each other with kindness, empathy, and respect, and you'll find that your living space can be a true home away from home.。

备战2022中考英语阅读理解热点话题+体裁分类训练(中考真题+各地模拟题)专题24 社区Passage 1（2020·湖南湘潭·中考真题）Hi Friends! My name’s Sandra and I live in Hilltown.It is in the south of England. It isn’t a very big town. About 9000 people live here.There are about thirty shops in Hilltown and there are three supermarkets. You can buy everything in the town that you need.There are two banks and a post office in Main Street.There is a police station and a library, too.You can find a big market where you can buy fresh fruit, vegetables, meat and drinks. I like going to the market with mum.There are three churches in the town centre and there is a park, too. In the park children can play because there is a playground. In our town you can find some restaurants and there are five cafes. My favorite cafe is Icecave. It’s in Park Street and the ice cream is fantastic here!There are three elementary schools and two high schools in Hilltown. My school is in Mill Street. We have got a very nice building. Next to our school there is a sports centre. Every Wednesday afternoon we play volleyball.If you want to see a film you can go to the cinema in our town, but unfortunately there aren’t any theaters here.I like living in Hilltown because it s a calm, clean place and people are friendly. 1．Where is Hilltown?A．It’s in southern England.B．It’s in northern Singapore.C．It’s in eastern Australia.2．How many banks are there in Hilltown?A．5.B．3.C．2.3．Who does the writer like to go to the market with?A．Her father.B．Her mother.C．Her friends.4．How often does the writer play volleyball?A．Every Wednesday.B．Every Thursday.C．Every Friday.5．What can’t the writer do in Hilltown?A．Watch a play.B．See a movie.C．Eat out with friends.Passage 2（2020·浙江杭州·中考真题）How would you feel if someone decided to take away your park? Well that's what's happening in my community. There's a park that some people want to turn into a golf course (高尔夫球场). Let me tell you why I think it's a bad idea.First, a park is meant to be for the whole community. Not everyone likes golf, so not everyone will get to use the park. This isn't fair. A community park should have open spaces for everyone to use.Second, to make way for the golf course, lots of playground equipment (设施) will have to be moved or knocked down, which is a waste of time and money. It's also a waste of perfectly good equipment. The swings, for example, will probably just end up as litter.Third, what about giving young people something to do? Not all kids are crazy about golf. At the moment, the park has a skating place and a playground. These attract lots of kids from the community. If you turn the park into a golf course, these kids won't have anywhere to go and they won't have anything to do.This means that they will stay at home and turn on a video game rather than get some exercise. It also means that they might be out on the street causing trouble. Wouldn't it be better to give them something to do at the park?Finally, golf is expensive. Building a golf course and maintaining (维护)it costs a lot of money. Who is going to pay to maintain the golf course? What about those people who can't afford to join a golf club? That means that the golf course will only be available to people with lots of money.Turning our park into a golf course is a bad idea. I suggest we have a community meeting before plans go any further.6．Some people want to change the park into __________.A．a golf club B．a golf course C．a park D．a skating place 7．According to Paragraph 4, having nowhere to go will make some childrenA．go to get some exercise B．fall in love with golfC．play video games at home D．go to the street and make friends 8．Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?(P=Paragraph)A．B．C．D．9．What is the writer's purpose in writing this passage?A．To help carry out further plans.B．To make the park more beautiful.C．To encourage children to go skating.D．To stop the golf course from being built.Passage 3（2021·山东·模拟预测）There are several ways from which to choose for you to keep your kids safe in your neighborhood. But the first step is to know your neighbors.Knowing your neighbors can save you a lot of worry. It lets you know that the car that has just driven down the street belongs to “the yellow house on the corner”, or the truck that has just driven by the playground looks unfamiliar, but the guy in the passenger seat resides （居住）two doors down. It’s these simple things that keep you from going out of your mind whenever you see someone driving by where children are playing.But you shouldn’t just know what they look like. The next step is to know them well. What do they do? How do they act? You might be OK with them driving by the playground since they live in the neighborhood, but are you OK with them being on the playground? Knowing your neighbors solves several things. First you find out what kind of people they are. This helps you know if you should let your child go out in an area where they gather. Let usfa ce it: you do not want your child to play around people or people’s children that curse（咒骂）or hit each other. Sometimes you have to protect you child against your own neighbors.Knowing them also makes them know you. Being neighbors is an interesting thing. You might not like them or have the same views as them, but we all usually protect those that we consider our own. If you know your neighbors, they know you. They are more likely to look after the child of the nice lady down the street in the brick （砖）house, than the people, in the house on the corner, who no one ever sees.10．This passage is mainly to tell us .A．how to keep your child safe in the neighborhoodB．how to set a good example to your neighborsC．how to get along with your neighbors11．If someone resides two doors down, he .A．studies at the same school with your kidB．often comes to the neighborhood to offer helpC．lives in the same neighborhood as you12．The underlined phrase “going out of your mind” in Paragraph 2 probablymeans .A．becoming very excitedB．becoming very worriedC．becoming very embarrassed13．From the third paragraph we can know that .A．it is important for you to be polite to your neighborsB．people in the same neighborhood are quite differentC．knowing your neighbors helps to keep your kids safe14．In the last paragraph, the writer wants to tell us that .A．the neighbors are likely to help the nice ladyB．the neighbors would like to help people they knowC．we should like and have the same views as the neighborPassage 4（2019·河南·郑州外国语学校一模）Parks are public spaces.

They may want to stay at home because of the smallest pimple(粉刺). I know—because I used to focus only on my appearance(外表). However, now I work hard to see more than just my look. I'll explain why.Firstly, if you focus only on how you look, you'll also focus only on the appearance of others. As a result, you'll become a person who can't see the truly important characteristics ( 品质)in others. Some people don't follow the latest fashion trends. If you avoid getting to know them, you'll miss out on many interesting and valuable relationships in your life.In addition, focusing only on your look can make you feel disappointed in yourself. If you don't worry about a pimple on your face, you'll be less likely to feel unhappy about yourself. On the whole, happy people like to communicate with the world in a positive way. Therefore, feeling happy is more important than looking good.You should work hard at feeling good, not just looking good.I used to focus only on how I looked. However, now I work hard to focus on all the different parts of myself—my appearance, personality, abilities, and so on. So I'm a much happier person. If you take my advice, you'll be a happier person too. Your first step is to look at yourself without a mirror!66. What's the writer's purpose of writing the first paragraph?A. To introduce his opinion on looks.B. To explain how important your look is.C. To let you buy more beautiful things.D. To tell you what he used to be like.67.

The text is about the importance of ____.A. focusing on your physical appearanceB. improving your abilities and skillsC. seeing all the different parts of yourselfD. cool clothes and fashionable accessories69. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?EEveryone needs help sometimes. People depend on one another. That's why communities have special people ready to lend a helping hand to anyone who needs it.For example，what would we do without a community fire station？If a homecatches fire, as Jackson Place did last week, it might be burned down and people may get hurt…or worse. We're so lucky to have firemen who come to save people and put out the fire, safely. If the firemen hadn't come so fast, Jackson Place would have lost everything.And what about our local police who protect our families, our homes and valuable things？The police have helped so many families this past year, especially in saving people and pets and protecting our houses and other things after the heavy rain.Think about all the other service workers we have in this community. We have people who collect waste and rubbish and keep our community clean. We have road workers who put up and repair traffic signs and fix holes in the streets. They protect not just us, but our cars! And what will happen to this community without the teachers in our school or the doctors and nurses in our community hospitals?Think again about what we eat every day；think again about what we wear every day. We cannot produce them, but we use them all the time. We get a lot from all these tireless workers who keep our community running. We need these people in the community. We depend on each other. Let's support each other and help each other. Only in this way can we make our community a better place.70. What happened to Jackson Place last week?A. The pets were lost.B.
