Handwritten newspaper is another form of newspaper that can be circulated, watched and posted. In school, handwritten newspaper is a good activity form in the second class, which is quite flexible and free. I have carefully arranged the excellent English handwritten newspapers in high school for you, hoping to learn from them.
I like high school English:
Haha, I speak English very well! I have an English story! Do you want to know? Keep reading! We just learned English in Grade Three. At that time, I knew nothing about English. When we study, we are like parrots. We will follow what the teacher says.
Because I have a bad memory, it is difficult to learn anything. At first I wanted to give up, but my mother said to me earnestly, "Son, it's not easy to learn all the skills better than English." After listening to my mother's words, I seemed relieved and determined to study hard. Although his brain is stupid, his hands are not lazy. Whenever I have time, I pick up a tape recorder, listen to tapes, read English compositions and ask others. Finally, many good things happen. When I was in the fourth grade last semester, I worked hard at English. In the fifth grade, my English composition won the first prize in the English composition competition. My parents are happy for me. I will never forget what my mother said to me: Son, it is not easy to learn all the skills better than English. It is not easy to learn it well!
Yesterday we had a chemistry class, in which we learned the importance of environmental protection. Mr. Zhao, our teacher, told us that he was very worried about the pollution in our city. He said that our city used to be a beautiful city, with very beautiful natural landscapes, such as green mountains, clear water, fresh air and so on.
But now, they are all gone.
Have you ever thrown anything about? Have you ever spit in public places? Have you ever painted casually on the wall? If your answer is "yes", it means that you must do something to protect the environment. You can also ask yourself, "Did I pick up dirty paper and throw it in the dustbin? Did I collect bottles for recycling? Have I ever planted trees or flowers? " If your answer is still "yes", it shows that you have made contributions to environmental protection.
I think pollution is not only a problem of our city, but also a problem of all cities in our country and even the world. Protecting the environment is not only the responsibility of the people in our city, but also the responsibility of everyone on the earth, because we only have one earth.
Do it from now on. Start with every little thing around you. Then we will have a more beautiful and cleaner earth.
As can be seen from the survey results, opinions are divided. About 60% students think that high school life is not easy at all. The reasons are as follows. First of all, the subjects they are studying now are obviously more difficult. Besides, they have to do endless homework after class, which makes them have little time for exercise and other activities.
On the contrary, others say that they have adapted to the new life and started to enjoy it. They said that they found the courses more interesting and the activities more colorful, which certainly benefited them a lot.
As far as I am concerned, we should balance our study and other activities and do everything efficiently. Only in this way can we learn more and enjoy life better.
Memories about Hainan Hainan Memories
Hainan is a beautiful place. I spent a summer vacation there. There is a lot of clean water. More specifically, it is mostly blue seawater. There are many green plants. The air is very fresh. I think it may be because of water and plants. It's very hot. But I don't hate it because I can go swimming every day. When I return to my hometown, I am not allowed to do so. Hainan is also a tourist city. I feel proud when I see many people visiting here, because I can visit those places every day. I have a good memory in Hainan.

I have wonderful memories in Hainan.
Thanks to China, English will soon become the first world language in human history. Although the population whose mother tongue is Mandarin Chinese is three times as large as that whose mother tongue is English, English is relatively easy to learn and widely distributed, so there are about 65.438+0.8 billion people in the world who can understand English well. If the expansion of English as a second language continues (at present, there are more than 300 million people learning English in China, which is almost equivalent to the population whose mother tongue is English), then in our lifetime, the whole world will be able to communicate in the same language, which will bring great benefits at the political, commercial and social levels.
Outside China, few people speak Mandarin as a second language (because it is extremely complicated), while English is the main language in Britain, the United States, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, Ireland and many Caribbean and Pacific countries. It is also the official language of Fiji, Gambia, Ghana, Guyana, India, Jamaica, Kenya, Lesotho, Madagascar, Malawi, Mauritius, Namibia, Nigeria, Pakistan, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Rwanda, Singapore, South Africa, Tanzania, Trinidad and Tobago, Uganda, Zambia, Zimbabwe and Hong Kong. English is the most widely used language in the world and the most taught foreign language. If China people continue to learn English as enthusiastically as they do now, one day the world will really have a world dialogue for the first time.
English is very suitable for such a global dialogue, not only because English is relatively easy to learn (only 26 letters), but also because its vocabulary is extremely large (and has been growing) and it can allow a greater degree of free expression. Stephen fry, a British actor and intellectual, said: "English is definitely the largest vocabulary, far exceeding other languages. Just as China is the most populous country in the world, the vocabulary of English is the first in the world. " There are more than 500,000 words in the English dictionary (three times as many as any other language), so English ranks first among about 6,000 languages in the world. Winston Churchill said in a speech at 1908 Writers' Club: "What a noble medium English is. "If you write a page casually, you will definitely feel the richness and diversity, flexibility and profound details of our mother tongue, which will bring us great fun."
Of course, I'm not saying that English should replace all other languages (they build our magical and wonderful language world). I mean, if China people and everyone else learn English, then we can solve problems more easily, because people all over the world can understand each other clearly soon. Such things have happened in many key fields such as diplomacy, trade, air traffic control, computers and so on. An unusual thing happened last year. The most protectionist country in the world is France. The French government has stipulated which words can be used and which words can't be used, and how many non-French songs can be played by radio stations. Last year, France had to accept several courses of the famous é cole Polytechnic and began to teach in English.
Of course, all this also has economic considerations. According to the highly respected EF English proficiency index, "English proficiency is a key factor in economic competitiveness, whether at the individual or national level. Higher English proficiency is directly related to higher income, better quality of life, more dynamic business environment, better contacts and more innovation. " English is also a language that is very conducive to "equal opportunity". Interestingly, in almost all countries and age groups, women speak English better than men. Britain's population accounts for only 1.3% of the world's total population, and its land area accounts for only 0.2% of the world. But today English stands for wealth, and just as importantly, it stands for the pursuit of wealth. The average annual income of Chinese-speaking population is $3,926, and that of English-speaking population is $9,396.
When people all over the world choose to learn a second language, it is of course best to choose a language that can be understood by all continents. For example, more than 90% of Dutch people know English. Because the victory of English is mainly due to the expansion of the British empire on the surface of one-fifth of the world, we can understand that this imperialist language is now almost becoming the hegemonic language that dominates the world, which will cause some controversy. However, as the writer Melvyn Bragg pointed out, this process is now irreversible, because many people whose mother tongue is not English have accepted English very widely.
As Breg pointed out in his book Adventures in English: "In the United Nations, NATO, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, English is the first language for people who talk on an equal footing. It is the only official language of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and the only working language of the European Free Trade Association, the Baltic Marine Biologists Association, the Asian Amateur Sports Association and the African Hockey League. English is also the second language of various organizations such as the Andean Commission of Jurists and the Arab Airlines Association. "
In terms of the total population, the languages behind English and Mandarin Chinese are Spanish, Arabic, Hindi, Malay and French. None of these languages will pose a threat to the international status of English, because they cannot be geographically extended to the whole world like English. Therefore, China people enthusiastically accept English, which can be said to put their global ambitions and global interests in the first place. The English ability of the next generation of China people will put them at the forefront of the upcoming global dialogue.
In the 5th century AD, Germanic warriors brought standard English to the British Isles. English started from them, and evolved to Anglo-Saxons, geoffrey chaucer, william shakespeare and Dr. samuel johnson (the author of the first English dictionary). Since then, in the words of Freya Johnston, a lecturer at Cambridge University, "non-standard English" has developed into "a busy and flexible daily language, including regional dialects and international slang, e-mail, internet and short messages". As early as the16th century, the poet edmund spenser complained in a letter to his friend gabriel harvey, a rhetorician at Cambridge University: "So, they turned our English into a hodgepodge of all other languages." That's true. Today, among the English-speaking population, the non-native population is three times as large as the native population.
Historian David Crystal pointed out that English is "the most diverse language on earth". English is an omnivore with a big appetite and has digested many foreign words. The high heterogeneity of English in linguistics is precisely its advantage. In the British Isles, English was almost wiped out by Danes and later Normans, but the special genius of English lies in its ability to absorb enemies, just like some alien monster in science fiction, which becomes stronger after swallowing its opponents.
Like all great adventure stories, there are fateful and unresolved moments in the history of English development, such as when King Alfred defeated the Viking invaders, or after the Norman conquest, Old English had to fight for survival (the result of such a struggle is likely to be that English has become a marginalized language like Gaelic). However, because of its ability to absorb other languages, English absorbed thousands of French words and survived tenaciously for three and a half centuries until the British monarch began to speak English again. By this time, English began to take revenge on the enemies of 1 1 century. Today, the population of English-speaking Europeans is three times that of French-speaking Europeans.
Although English is a dynamic and developing organism, almost all the most commonly used English words 100 in the world today come from old English a thousand years ago. Melvyn Bragg pointed out: "We can have a meaningful conversation in old English and rarely need to deviate from it." Of course, speaking English in America was the key reason for the second spring of English in the 20th century. However, in the dangerous Middle Ages, it was British English that kept the fire burning.
English is a very beautiful language, and it can construct many of the most brilliant cultural achievements of mankind with its 500,000 words (the vocabulary of old English is only 25,000). As early as the beginning of the 7th century, there were 24 letters in English (but no letters J, Q, V, X and Z). As Lord Breg said, this construction is like "discovering the fire of knowledge". But in this success, there are inherent dangers. "The more English spreads," he told us, "the more diverse it is, and the easier it is to split." Therefore, when we are only one step away from English becoming a global language, all kinds of local dialects around the world may make English a foreign language, which will lead us to miss out on a bright future.
In India, the circulation of English daily newspapers has reached 365.438 million+copies, and each newspaper has several readers. English is still the main language in Indian academic circles. Fluent English is still needed in business and trade, high-level government and scientific and technological work. Almost all students who want to study abroad have to learn English. All the big cities in India, as well as many small cities, have private English middle schools. Even public schools for senior civil servants use English, because only English is an acceptable medium in India. With the vigorous development of India's economy, this trend continues. If China or India want to replace the United States as the world's largest power one day (China has almost caught up with the United States in GDP), then English must be used as the main tool.
This is not to say that English speakers can be complacent about the brilliant rise of their own language. As the language historian Nicholas Ostler said in his book The Empire of Words, Akkadian, Egyptian, Sanskrit and Persian, Greek, Latin and French were once unstoppable. But as Tim Blanning, a Cambridge historian, pointed out, English is "the first language to gain a dominant position in the era of global communication", which is different from these languages that used to be in a strong position. This will make English more tenacious and harder to be destroyed, instead of being destroyed by Alexander the Great like Aramaic, which once occupied a strong position for four centuries.
UNESCO recently published the list of the top ten most translated authors (each author has been translated into more than 65,438+0,500 languages), and half of them belong to English-speaking countries, although the population of English-speaking countries only accounts for 7.5% of the world's total population. The first place is Walter Disney Company, followed by agatha christie and The Bible. Next is Lenin, but few people translate his works today, so his ranking is dropping rapidly. Then came jules verne, Barbara Cartland, Enid Blyton, william shakespeare, hans christian andersen and the Brothers Grimm.
If China people continue to learn English as enthusiastically as they do now, they will undoubtedly take the lead in the changes of the world situation, which will certainly be beneficial to mutual understanding and world peace. Napoleon famously said that China was a sleeping giant, and when he woke up, he would shake the world. But China is also a talking giant. If he chooses to speak to the world in English (which is also a language that China people like very much), then he will surely shake the world more effectively.
