英語作文 篇1
Spotlight on obese kids！
Children are getting so fat they may be the first generation to die before their parents, an expert claimed yesterday.
Today's youngsters are already falling prey to potential killers such as diabetes because of their weight.
Fatty fast-food diets combined with sedentary lifestyles dominated by televisions and computers could mean kids will die tragically young, says Professor Andrew Prentice, from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.
At the same time, the shape of the human body is going through a huge evolutionary shift because adults are getting so fat.
Here in Britain, latest research shows that the average waist size for a man is 36-38in and may be 42-44in by 20xx. This compares with only 32.6in in 1972.
Women's waists have grown from an average of 22in in 1920 to 24 ins in the Fifties and 30in now.
One of the major reasons why children now are at greater risk is that we are getting fatter younger.
In the UK alone, more than one million under-16s are classed as overweight or obese - double the number in the mid-Eighties. One in ten four-year-olds are also medically classified as obese.
The obesity pandemic - an extensive epidemic - which started in the US, has now spread to Europe, Australasia, Central America and the Middle East.
Many nations now record more than 20 per cent of their population as clinically obese and well over half the population as overweight.
Prof Prentice said the change in our shape has been caused by a glut of easily available high-energy foods combined with a dramatic drop in the energy we use as a result of technology developments.
He is not alone in his concern. Only last week one medical journal revealed how obesity was fuelling a rise in cancer cases.
Obesity also increases the risk factor for strokes and heart disease as well as a diabetes.
An averagely obese person's lifespan is shortened by around nine years while a severely obese person by many more.
Prof Prentice said: "So will parents outlive their children, as claimed recently by an American obesity specialist?
"The answer is yes - and no. Yes, when the offspring become grossly obese. This is now becoming an alarmingly common occurrence in the US.
"Such children and adolescents have a greatly reduced quality of life in terms of both their physical and psychosocial health."
So say No to that doughnut and burger.
現在的孩子們正變得越來越胖，以至於他們可能成爲先他們父母而去的第一代。這是一位專家昨天所發表的觀點。
由於過於肥胖，現在的孩子們已經變成了一些潛在病魔的獵物，糖尿病就是其中之一。
倫敦衛生及熱帶醫學學院的安德魯·普倫蒂斯教授認爲，脂肪含量過高的快餐飲食，加上電視和電腦使得孩子們養成了久坐不動的生活方式，極有可能大大縮短年輕一代的壽命。
與此同時，人類的體形正在發生着革命性的變化，因爲成人們正越長越胖。
最新的研究表明，1972年，英國男性的平均腰圍僅爲32.6英寸，目前是36-38英寸，到20xx年，可能達到42-44英寸。
女性的平均腰圍則從1920年的22英寸增加到50年代的24英寸，現在，則是30英寸。
爲什麼現在的孩子們面臨着比我們更大的危險呢？原因之一就在於，他們發胖的年齡比我們早的多。
僅僅在英國，就有100多萬16歲以下的兒童被歸爲超重或者肥胖一族，比80年代中期多了一倍。每10個四歲的孩子中就有1個有醫學上的肥胖症狀。
這股源於美國的肥胖風正在蔓延開來，現在已經傳遍了歐洲，澳大利亞，美洲中部和中東。
目前許多國家記錄在案的超重人口已經佔到總人數的一半以上，其中達到醫學上所定義的肥胖的就有20%。
普倫蒂斯教授說，導致我們體形變化的原因是，現代生活中高熱量食物隨處可見，隨手可得，而科技的發展使得人們每天消耗的熱量卻大大減少。
並非只有普倫蒂斯教授關注這一問題。就在上週，某一醫學雜誌還談到了肥胖對於癌症的影響問題。
肥胖還會增加中風、心臟疾病和糖尿病的發病率。
一箇中等肥胖者的壽命將被縮短大約9年，而一個嚴重肥胖者受到的影響更大。
普倫蒂斯教授說，"是否真的象美國專家預測的那樣，孩子們的壽命會比他們的父母還短呢？"
"答案既是"是"， 也是"不是"。說"是"是因爲如果下一代繼續"瘋長"，就有可能比他們的父母壽命還短。說"不是"則因爲這種現象已經引起了美國民衆的警惕。"
"過度肥胖者，不管你是是成人還是青少年，你的生活質量都會大打折扣，無論在生理上還是心理上。"
所以，就讓我們向油炸圈和夾肉餅說"不"吧。
英政府機構認爲應給5歲兒童開設性教育課
Children as young as five should have compulsory sex education at school, say Government advisers.
Lessons would go far further than teaching the basics, with in-depth discussions for older children on sexually transmitted diseases, contraception and peer pressure to have sex.
Primary school children aged five to 11 would be encouraged to discuss their feelings and emotions about sex.
The Independent Advisory Groups on Sexual Health and Teenage Pregnancy blame the current system, where schools decide whether to teach sex education to under-11s, for muddled knowledge among most primary pupils.
More open, informative and detailed lessons would help tackle high rates of teenage pregnancy, they say.
They want legislation to make Personal, Social and Health Education compulsory. It would include sex and relationships, with discussion on topics such as dealing with peer pressure, where to get condoms and how infections such as chlamydia and genital warts are passed on.
Younger pupils would focus on the emotional issues associated with relationships, with only secondary pupils getting more detailed information on sexual activity and its consequences.
The report, sent to ministers at the Departments of Health and Education, shows teenage pregnancy in Liverpool, Bradford and Hackney, East London, fell after schools there introduced sex education classes. Labour peer Joyce Gould, who chaired the group, said the proposals would not lead to more promiscuity.
英政府機構認爲應給5歲兒童開設性教育必修課
英國政府機構日前建議，應該讓5歲的小學生開始接受正規的性教育課程，鼓勵他們討論性知識。
據《鏡報》12月5日報道，英國政府青少年性健康和懷孕問題獨立顧問小組撰寫報告指出，現行的英國性教育體制由學校自行決定是否向11歲以下的學生進行性教育，這種體制是有損學生健康和成長的，應當予以改革；學校應該給5歲至11歲的小學生開設性教育必修課，鼓勵他們討論性知識。青少年性健康和懷孕問題獨立顧問小組成員是來自英國醫療行業、性行爲以及青少年性健康領域的42名專家。
該小組建議，學生的性教育課程應不僅僅教授基本的兩性生理和衛生知識，而應就性行爲、性心理進行更多深入的討論，例如如何應對同伴性要求、如何避孕以及避免性病的傳播等；其中小學生將被教授如何處理人與人之間的相互關係，中學生纔會被教授具體的性行爲知識和後果。
該小組指出，更加開放、豐富和詳細的性教育課程將改善英國少女懷孕率居高不下的現狀。
報道說，英國每年新增幾十萬少女媽媽。她們中多數都會把孩子生下來，而其中有一成甚至還不滿16歲。這個數字在歐洲高居榜首，更是比公認的性開放國家荷蘭高了將近5倍。而瑞典是性教育開展得較成功的國家，從幼兒園開始到高中有一套系統完整的教育內容和體系，收到了比較好的效果。
自1976年開始，瑞典少女妊娠和人工流產數字明顯下降，性病和性犯罪發生率也逐步減少，“未婚母親家庭”幾乎消失。
報道說，青少年性健康和懷孕問題獨立顧問小組已經將這份報告遞交給了健康教育部。(
關注留守兒童
Protecting our children
(China Daily)
Updated: 20xx-02-29 07:26
保護我們的孩子
——關注留守兒童 來自《中國日報》
If we seriously believe the oft-made claim that children are future of the country, then we truly have something to worry about.
如果我們還相信“孩子是祖國的未來”這句被反覆提及的宣言，那麼我們是該有一些擔心了。
The All-China Women's Federation (ACWF) report on the conditions of children left behind by parents working away from home paints a grim picture that we cannot afford to understate.
全國婦女聯合會關於留守兒童（父母在外務工，兒童留守家中）狀況的報告爲我們描繪了一幅不可等閒視之的慘淡圖景。
Many of us have heard about the so-called left-behind children. But not as many people could have anticipated what the ACWF report reveals - more than a quarter of Chinese children who are 17 or younger live apart from one or both of their parents because they are working in places other than in their hometown.
許多人都聽到過所謂的留守兒童一詞。但是不會有多少人估計到全國婦聯報告中結識的真實狀況——在中國，四分之一以上的17歲以下兒童由於他們的父母一人或全部在異鄉打工而留守家中。
This is no small matter. 這並不是一件無足輕重的事情。
In the eyes of developmental psychology, the early years of life play an essential part not just in forming one's personality, but also in the acquisition of the knowledge and skills that last a person's entire life. Out of respect for their special vulnerability, children in this age group need particular parental care. Few of those left behind are home alone - most are left in the custody of grandparents - but the separation from their parents will inevitably affect their development in less-than-positive ways.
在發展心理學看來，青少年時期對於一個人性格的形成和知識技能的掌握髮揮着重要的作用並將影響其一生。出於對其心理脆弱特點的考慮，這一時期的兒童尤其需要父母的關懷。除了極少數獨守家中，大部分留守兒童有他們的祖父母監護，但是遠離父母仍將不可避免地對他們的成長產生諸多消極的影響。
The ACWF has spearheaded a series of initiatives to promote awareness of the situation. Thanks to its persistent endeavors, various countermeasures are now at work in different communities.
全國婦聯已經率先開展了一系列活動以提高對這種形勢的認識。由於他們不懈的努力，許多相似的活動已經在不同的社團開展起來。
It is inspiring to see local authorities providing welfare and educational guarantees. Such efforts offer an indispensable compensation for the otherwise unbearable sense of loss these youngsters must cope with as a result of living without parental care.
鼓舞人心的是許多地區政府正在努力爲他們提供生活和教育方面的保障。這些努力對於這些留守兒童因遠離父母而造成的難以承受的缺失感也是一種必要的慰籍。
But parents are parents. No outside intervention can take their place to ensure the healthy growth of their children, so it would be ideal if fewer children had to live without their parents around.
可憐天下父母心。沒有什麼能夠取代孩子的健康成長在他們心目中的位置。那麼讓更少的孩子離開他們的父母生活將使我們的理想。
Most Chinese parents foster high hopes for their children. They are tireless custodians, keen on offering meticulous care and support so that their children can lead successful careers and lives.
大多數中國父母對自己的孩子都懷有很高的希望。他們是孜孜不倦的監護人，始終給予孩子無微不至的關懷和支持，一切爲了讓自己的孩子有一分成功的事業和一個光輝的人生。
Few parents leave their children home because they want to dodge responsibilities. It is more a matter of necessity. Most parents of left-behind children take jobs in cities, where local schools are supposed to focus on serving registered local residents. Non-residents are either left out or face extra charges, which are usually exorbitant even by urban standards.
很少有父母是爲了逃避責任而把自己的孩子留在家中。更確切地說那是一件不得以的事。大多數留守兒童的父母在城市工作，而當地的學校則主要招收有當地戶口的孩子。非城市的學生或者被拒之門外，或者要交納通常高於城市標準的借讀費。
In such circumstances, most parents choose to leave their kids at home, where they can receive affordable schooling.
在這種情況下，大多數父母選擇將孩子留在家鄉，因爲那裏的學費纔是他們能夠承擔的。
This is yet another demonstration of the embarrassing mismatch between the system and reality.
這也從另一個方面體現了體制與現實之間令人尷尬的'不和諧。
研究：肥胖也傳染
If your friends and family get fat, chances are you will too, researchers report in a new study that suggests obesity is "socially contagious" and can spread easily from person to person.
The large, federally funded study found that to be true even if your loved ones lived far away. Social ties seemed to play a surprisingly strong role, even more than genes are known to do.
"We were stunned to find that friends who are hundreds of miles away have just as much impact on a person's weight status as friends who are right next door," said co-author James Fowler of the University of California, San Diego.
The study found a person's chances of becoming obese went up 57 percent if a friend did, 40 percent if a sibling did and 37 percent if a spouse did.
Researchers think it's more than just people with similar eating and exercise habitshanging outtogether. Instead, it may be that having relatives and friends who become obese changes one's idea of what is an acceptableweight.
Despite their findings, the researchers said people should not sever theirrelationships.
"There is a ton of research that suggest that having more friends makes you healthier," Fowler said. "So the last thing that you want to do is get rid of any of your friends."
The study was published in Thursday's New England Journal ofMedicineand funded by the National Institute on Aging.
Obesity is a global public health problem. About 1.5 billion adults worldwide are overweight, including more than 400 million who are obese. Two-thirds of Americans are either overweight or obese.
Much of the recent research focus has been on the intense hunt for obesity genes involved in appetite or calorie burning. Treatment has been mainly centered on helping individuals curb their weight through better diet and fitness.
The findings could open a new avenue for treating this worldwide epidemic. The researchers said it might be helpful to treat obese people in groups instead of just the individual.
"Because people are interconnected, their health is interconnected," said lead author Dr. Nicholas Christakis, a Harvard sociologist.
如果你的朋友和家人發胖了，你也得小心了！一項最新研究表明，肥胖具有“社會傳染性”，很容易在人與人之間傳播。
該項由聯邦政府資助的大規模研究發現，即使親朋好友住得很遠，這種情況也不可避免。社會聯繫對這一問題的影響十分顯著，甚至超過基因。
研究報告的撰寫者之一、聖地亞哥加州大學的詹姆斯·福勒說：“我們驚訝的發現，住在幾百英里遠的朋友對一個人體重的影響與住在隔壁的朋友同樣大。”
研究發現，如果一個人的朋友發胖，那麼這個人發胖的機率會上升57%；如果他的兄弟姐妹發胖，他發胖的機率會增加40%；如果配偶發胖，他發胖的機率則會增加37%。
研究人員認爲，這並不只是幾個飲食和鍛鍊習慣相似的人總呆在一起造成的，可能是因爲親朋好友發胖會改變一個人對於“可接受體重”的概念。
儘管有了這些新發現，研究人員稱友誼還是應該維持的。
福勒說：“大量研究表明，朋友越多，你的健康狀況會越好。所以，與朋友斷交是最不應該的。”
該項研究由國家老齡問題研究所資助，其結果在週四的《新英格蘭醫學雜誌》上發表。
肥胖是一個全球性的公共健康問題。全世界約有15億成年人超重，其中約4億多肥胖。三分之二的美國人超重或肥胖。
目前大多數研究的重點都是尋找與食慾或熱量消耗有關的肥胖基因。對於肥胖的治療方式也主要是通過更合理的飲食和健身來控制體重。
該項研究結果可能將爲治療這一全球性的“流行病”提供新的方法。研究人員稱，對肥胖者進行小組治療可能比個體治療有效。
研究報告主要撰寫者、哈佛大學社會學家尼古拉斯·克里斯塔基斯博士說：“因爲人與人是互相聯繫的，所以他們的健康也聯繫在一起。”
短篇英語作文[91]兒童樂園
The Children’s Playground【兒童樂園】
Right next to Taipei Zoo is children's playground.
It is always very crowded and noisy there on holidays.
Last time on Teachers’ Day my sister and I had free tickets to go there,
and we took two small children with us.
When we got there were so many people there that we were very careful not to let the children get lost.
There were free balloons given to small kids.
There were many different amusement rides,
but at all the rides there were long lines of people. Therefore,
we did not get many rides.
Our two small companions enjoyed the merry-go-round which is a round turning platform that has wooden horses on it.
They did not like the airplane ride so much, because the speed and high elevation of the plane scared them.
We high a whole afternoon there. By the time we got home,
we were a little tired, but we felt like happy small children again.

英語作文 篇2
絕大多數的英語學習者，一想到寫英語作文，就會頭“大”。他們常常苦思冥想，然後草草而就，只求按時“交差”，別的就顧不上了。這種狀態下炮製出來的“大作”，其質量可想而知。
對初學者而言，一篇英語作文的過程，至少應該包括兩個階段，“寫”與“作”。
所謂“寫”的過程應該與中文寫作沒有很大區別，無非是扣題，構思，表述。惟一要特別注意的是，我們寫英語作文時，一般要求的字數比較少，所以我們在文章的結構上更須注意突出重點，集中火力。在非重點部分，不要隨便發揮，而應該儘量直奔主題。以本次徵文比賽爲例，題目是The English Teacher I Admire Most，那麼文章的重點應該是講述why I admire him/her，what is so special about him/her，what I see in him/her，what has made him/her such a wonderful teacher等等，你可以狀貌，但主要應該是“寫神”，狀貌應該簡短，應該只起鋪墊的作用。寫這篇文章當然離不開敘事，全文可能敘述一件或多件事，那麼這一件或多件事各自所佔的分量應該有分寸，使整篇文章保持平衡。敘事時應該直奔主旨。英語寫作的傳統非常注重所謂的topic sentence——能夠統攝全文或者全段的句子。這個句子最好出現在文章的開頭，然後在文章的結尾處用不同的表述呼應這個句子。例如，有一篇應徵例文的第一句是這樣的：She takes us into the magical English world。這就是一個非常有力的topic sentence。這一個句子就足可吸引讀者，讓讀者相信作者心中對她確實有一種毫無保留甚或“五體投地”的admiration，接下來就會有興趣瞭解她究竟有怎樣的magic power，讓學生如此着迷。這篇文章的結句是her charisma(魅力) is unbelievable，非常有力度，charisma與unbelievable兩個詞巧妙地呼應了magic這個詞。文章需要topic sentence，每個段落最好也要有這樣非常powerful的topic sentence。構思完成以後，就是落筆表述的過程。這個過程應該迅速，最好能夠一氣呼成，不要過多地顧忌是否犯了語法錯誤，或者表述是否清楚。不要猶猶豫豫，一步三回頭，因爲在完成了
“寫”以後，你還有一個“作”的過程。所謂“作”，就是“精雕細作”。英語初學者常常覺得自己“眼高手低”，想表述的意思難以成文，本來很精緻的“意”卻表現爲頗爲笨拙的“文”。這當然與我們掌握的詞彙有限相關。但是，我們有限的詞彙與表達，經過適當的調度與搭配，還是可以“作”出好文章來的。
我們在寫完初稿以後，不妨讓自己的好友讀一下，看看他是否明白文章的每一個句子。因爲作者自己常常把想到而沒有表述出來的信息也read into the article，因此不容易發現表述不清的問題。
處理完了表述問題以後，就進入“深加工”階段。英語寫作最強調韻律感，即使是高深的學術文章，讀起來常常也會很有“樂感”。這種“樂感”主要來自於句子結構的變化與組合。簡而言之，就是長短結合，錯落有致。英語的句子結構變化比較多，但我們在寫作時受漢語的影響很深，寫出的句子常常整齊劃一，缺少變化。我們在加工時，就要有意地想：某幾個簡單句能加工成一個複合句或者複雜句；我們的每一個句子的主語是否都是“人”(從頭到尾都是he或者we)，是否可以用一個抽象名詞或者一個ing結構來充當其中某些句子的主語，以此構成主語的變化；在一個“意羣”中，是否每個句子都是以主語開始；是否每個句子的謂語動詞都是簡單的一個動詞，能否把其中的某一個或幾個改成詞組；能否構成一個又一個“短句+長句+短句”的意羣組合；對於每一個表述，都可以想一下，這種表述是否太中文化，英語是否有更簡單的表達。
某個大詩人曾經說過：詩是“寫”出來的，而不應該是“作”出來的。但對我們英語初學者而言，在練習時，還是應該一次又一次地、有意識地經歷這樣的“作”的過程。“作”多了，方能在“臨戰”時瀟灑地“寫”。

英語作文 篇4
【摘要】對於寫作，每個同學都有自己的問題和疑惑，寫作的分數看似難拿，其實也並非如此。下面，與大家一起分享一下寫作文的基本技巧。
臨近考研，英語的學習重點越來越明顯：1、閱讀;2、寫作。對於寫作，每個考生都有自己的問題和疑惑，大家在下筆時大膽寫，不要不好意思，一定要在第一時間解決。
一、考研是目的性很強的考試，所以每一部分都是有標準的。那寫作部分大家一定達到幾方面的要求：
1、把握文章中心。作文是出題組想通過一幅圖片或一個表格來體現我們對於某個現象，某種行爲的理解以及解決之道。所以，文章的中心是首先需要大家謹慎以待的。偏離中心你的作文就是去了鬥爭資格。
2、文章脈絡清晰。中心論點闡述完，需要論據進行支撐。論據部分要清晰明確，不是半包圍或全包圍的結構;且論據要有明確的分析角度，並不是一件事沒完沒了的論述。最後，銜接自然，清晰可見。
3、其次，語言是文章的眼睛，透過眼睛可以看到你靈魂。那作文透過詞彙可以看到各位的知識水平和語言的駕馭能力。所以，詞彙這部分一定要多多積累，爭取文章妙語橫生，勇奪高分。
二、那我們以一篇文章爲例寫一篇範文，如下：
範文：
With the improved living standard, residents in an increasing number are fond of browsing the internet for shopping rather than wandering in the supermarkets just as the picture depicts. From what is shown, we can clearly notice the expenditure in online shopping rockets rapidly ... ...
There is no denying that the following factors should account for this phenomenon. To begin with, the updating process of science and technology makes it possible for consumers have various commodities with less money but with the same quality as those in the physical stores. And to be specifically speaking, as the ever-growing stress puts on our shoulders, we do not have so much leisure time, it is a time-saving process rather than a time-wasting one. And also, it can be defined as a course for relaxing and refreshing ourselves from our daily incidents.
It is a typical trait of the development of our society and economy, but on the other hand, it may bring about many potential damages to our physical industries. Therefore, effective measures should be set up and taken if necessary from the whole community.
文章需要不斷的磨合，不斷的修改，纔會漸入正軌，看起來纔是考研的文章。文章一定要深入淺出，讓別人讀起來朗朗上口。所以，沒必要寫太多的從句，非謂語動詞等等。比如說小作文部分，三五個從句，三無個短語就足夠用了。所以大家，要知道取捨之道，以免畫蛇添足。
