英语作文 篇1
Nowadays, digital media has permeated almost every aspect of our daily life. It is changing the way that
individuals, especially young people, learn, play, socialize, and participate in the society.
As a result, the function of digital media has turned into a major topic for the public. Some people pay tribute to its positive role as very convenient news sources, being available almost anywhere and anytime. While some people condemn the negative influence it has brought on privacy, morality, and independent thinking, which some people used to have and enjoy. And still others have been fighting between the merits and demerits of digital media for a final conclusion.
In my view, digital media is good for us students as it introduces a new way of learning which encourages more interaction and participation rather than rote learning. Besides, digital media makes it easier to produce and share things.

VOICE ONE: This is Steve Ember.
VOICE TWO: And this is Shirley Griffith with the VOA Special English program, EXPLORATIONS. Today we present the second of our two programs about the history of the English Language.
VOICE ONE: Last week, we told how the English language developed as a result of several invasions of Britain. The first involved three tribes called the Angles, the Jutes and the Saxons. A mix of their languages produced a language called Anglo-Saxon, or Old English. It sounded very much like German. Only a few words remained from the Celts who had lived in Britain.
Two more invasions added words to Old English. The Vikings of Denmark, Norway and Sweden arrived in Britain more than one thousand years ago. The next invasion took place in the year ten sixty-six. French forces from Normandy were led by a man known as William the Conqueror.
The Norman rulers added many words to English. The words "parliament," "jury,""justice,"and others that deal with law come from the Norman rulers.
VOICE TWO: Over time, the different languages combined to result in what English experts call Middle English. While Middle English still sounds similar to German, it also begins to sound like Modern English.
VOICE TWO: Here Warren Scheer reads the very beginning of Geoffrey Chaucer's great poem, "The Canterbury Tales"as it was written in Middle English.
VOICE ONE: Chaucer wrote that poem in the late thirteen hundreds. It was written in the language of the people. The rulers of Britain at that time still spoke the Norman French they brought with them in ten sixty-six.
The kings of Britain did not speak the language of the people until the early fourteen hundreds. Slowly, Norman French was used less and less until it disappeared.
VOICE TWO: The English language was strongly influenced by an event that took place more than one thousand four hundred years ago. In the year five ninety-seven, the Roman Catholic Church began its attempt to make Christianity the religion of Britain.
The language of the Catholic Church was Latin. Latin was not spoken as a language in any country at that time. But it was still used by some people.
Latin made it possible for a church member from Rome to speak to a church member from Britain. Educated people from different countries could communicate using Latin.
Latin had a great affect on the English language. Here are a few examples. The Latin word "discus" became several words in English including "disk," "dish,"and "desk." The Latin word" quietus"became the English word "quiet." Some English names of plants such as ginger and trees such as cedar come from Latin. So do some medical words such as cancer.
VOICE ONE: English is a little like a living thing that continues to grow. English began to grow more quickly when William Caxton returned to Britain in the year fourteen seventy-six. He had been in Holland and other areas of Europe where he had learned printing. He returned to Britain with the first printing press.
The printing press made it possible for almost anyone to buy a book. It helped spread education and the English language.
VOICE TWO: Slowly, during the fifteen hundreds English became the modern language we would recognize. English speakers today would be able to communicate with English speakers in the last part of the Sixteenth Century.
It was during this time period that the greatest writer in English produced his work. His name was William Shakespeare. His plays continue to be printed, acted in theaters, and seen in motion pictures almost four hundred years after his death.
VOICE ONE: Experts say that Shakespeare's work was written to be performed on the stage, not to be read. Yet every sound of his words can produce word pictures, and provide feelings of anger, fear, and laughter. Shakespeare's famous play "Romeo and Juliet"is so sad that people cry when they see this famous story.
The story of the power hungry King Richard the Third is another very popular play by Shakespeare. Listen as Shep O'Neal reads the beginning, of "Richard the Third."
VOICE TWO: The development of the English language took a giant step just nine years before the death of William Shakespeare. Three small British ships crossed the Atlantic Ocean in sixteen-oh-seven. They landed in an area that would later become the southern American state of Virginia. They began the first of several British colonies. The name of the first small colony was Jamestown.
VOICE TWO: In time, people in these new colonies began to call areas of their new land by words borrowed from the native people they found living there. For example, many of the great rivers in the United States are taken from American Indian words. The Mississippi, the Tennessee, the Missouri are examples. Other Native American words included "moccasin" the kind of shoe made of animal skin that Indians wore on their feet. This borrowing or adding of foreign words to English was a way of expanding the language. The names of three days of the week are good examples of this. The people from Northern Europe honored three gods with a special day each week. The gods were Odin, Thor and Freya. Odin's-day became Wednesday in English, Thor's-day became Thursday and Freya's-day became Friday.
VOICE ONE: Britain had other colonies in Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, and India. The English language also became part of these colonies. These colonies are now independent, but English still is one of the languages spoken. And the English language grew as words from the native languages were added.
For example, the word "shampoo"for soap for the hair came from India. "Banana"is believed to be from Africa.
Experts cannot explain many English words. For hundreds of years, a dog was called a "hound." The word is still used but not as commonly as the word "dog." Experts do not know where the word "dog"came from or when. English speakers just started using it. Other words whose origins are unknown include "fun,""bad,"and "big."
VOICE TWO: English speakers also continue to invent new words by linking old words together. A good example is the words "motor"and "hotel." Many years ago some one linked them together into the word "motel." A motel is a small hotel near a road where people travelling in cars can stay for the night.
Other words come from the first letters of names of groups or devices. A device to find objects that cannot be seen called Radio Detecting and Ranging became "Radar." The North Atlantic Treaty Organization is usually called NATO.
VOICE TWO: Experts say that English has more words that explain the same thing that any other language. For example, the words "large," "huge,""vast," "massive," and "enormous" all mean something really "big."
VOICE ONE: People often ask how many words there are in the English language. Well, no one really knows. The Oxford English Dictionary lists about six hundred fifteen thousand words. Yet the many scientific words not in the dictionary could increase the number to almost one million.
And experts are never really sure how to count English words. For example, the word "mouse." A mouse is a small creature from the rodent family. But "mouse"has another very different meaning. A "mouse" is also a hand-held device used to help control a computer. If you are counting words do you count "mouse" two times?
VOICE TWO: Visitors to the Voice of America hear people speaking more than forty different languages. Most broadcasters at VOA come from countries where these languages are spoken.
International organizations such as VOA would find it impossible to operate without a second language all the people speak.
The language that permits VOA to work is English. It is not unusual to see someone from the Mandarin Service talking to someone from the Urdu Service, both speaking English. English is becoming the common language of millions of people worldwide, helping speakers of many different languages communicate.
VOICE ONE: This Special English program was written and produced by Paul Thompson. This is Steve Ember.
VOICE TWO: And this is Shirley Griffith. Join us again next week for another EXPLORATIONS program, on the Voice of America.

E-learning and E-training
With the rapid development of technology and people’s demand for education mounting, so-called e-learning, or on-line long distance education, has become very popular and important in China. In some areas, e-learning has played a role traditional classroom education cannot accomplish.
Approximately 90 per cent of the world’s new information is stored and retrieved in English. It is vital for China to use the Olympics as a catalyst to boost English acquisition to prepare itself or the digital revolution. To prepare for the Beijing 20xx Olympic Games, at least 6 million Chinese, including staff for the organizing committee, and in the service, retail, police, volunteer, technical and medical support sectors, reportedly need to improve their English language skills.
E-learning breaks down the barriers of time and location, integrating education resources. When compared with traditional ways of teaching and learning, it is far more cost-effective for both the teachers and the students.

英语作文 篇6
昨天，我们去居委会去学奥运300句英语。
看完后，我觉得英语真的很有用，在平常与外国人谈话要用英语，有外国人问路也要用英语。在生活中像这样的例子有很多，有些人因为小时候没有不好好学英语而后悔莫及。有些人为了自己的孩子不再和自己一样不会英语而让自己的孩子认真学英语，由此可见英语有多重要。
有些小朋友会认为英语很干燥、很无聊等等。但是只要你认真学、努力学你就会感觉到英语的乐趣。而且学英语家长不能逼迫自己的孩子去学，如果家长逼迫自己的孩子去学是记不牢的，只有让孩子自己去学才记得牢、记得住。
虽然人生的道路很长，但是人生的道路也是有限的，也有很多挫折。但是我们只要不惧怕困难，而去战胜困难，那么就没什么是我们不可战胜。我们要相信自己，要鼓励自己，而不要看扁自己，认为自己什么都不行。
英语作文 篇7
For every parent, their biggest wish is to watch their children grow up healthily. But unluckily, some people are born with disabled, or some of them meet disasters and being disabled. The public wants to help them and live the normal life. In 1990s, the government named the third Sunday of May as Help-the-disabled Day, in the hope of offering help to those unlucky people.
对于每个父母来说，他们最大的愿望就是看着自己的孩子健康成长。但不幸的`是，有些人天生残疾，或者遭遇灾难，变残疾。公众希望帮助他们，过上正常的生活。上世纪90年代，政府将五月的第三个星期日定为“全国助残日”，希望能帮助那些不幸的人们。
Disabled people are easy to get rejected when they come to the job market. The employers want to hire someone who can bring them the biggest profit, so they refuse the disabled without hesitation. Actually, though some people may look imperfect, they have the strong will and are very responsible. They deserve to be given a chance.
残疾人在进入就业市场时很容易遭受拒绝。雇主们都想给自己招一个能给他们带来最大利润的人，所以他们会毫不犹豫地拒绝残疾人。事实上，虽然有些人残疾人看起来是有缺陷的，但他们有着坚强的意志，和责任心。他们值得一个机会。
It is bad luck for people to lose part of the body. But the more horrible thing is the way the public sees them, treating them as the monsters. For those unlucky people, people from all walks of life should offer them help, and they need the chance to move on. The disabled are just as normal as us, only a little difference in appearance.
人们失去部分身体的人，是他们的运气不好，但更可怕的是公众看待他们的方式，把他们当成怪物。对于那些不幸的人，大家都应该给予帮助，他们需要机会往前走。残疾人和我们是一样的，只是外表上有点点不同。
