Honesty means speaking the truth and being fair and upright in act. Considered as a virtue, it is admired in every country and every culture. One who lies and cheats is dishonest. Dishonesty is generally looked down upon as an evil, and therefore is despised and condemned by everyone.
As the proverb goes, “honesty is the best policy”. If you want to win the trust and respect from others, you have to be honest. People are ready to help and make friends with honest persons, whereas a liar is not believed even when he speaks the truth. If you want to succeed in your study and work, the first qualification is honesty. Therefore, whatever your aim is, you must work honestly to reach it.
Many people, however, try various dishonest means in order to get what they want. For instance, some people manage to get promoted by briery or telling lies. Some academic works are full of plagiarisms. Some students cheat in exams instead of making honest efforts. Money-oriented salespeople cheat consumers by advertising fake commodities. Such people are condemned and will be punished sooner or later though they benefit from their dishonest behaviors for the time being.
ladies and gentlemen， boys and girls，
i am chinese. i am proud of being a chinese with five thousand years of civilization behind. i‘ve learned about the four great inventions made by our forefathers. i‘ve learned about the great wall and the yangtze river. i‘ve learned about zhang heng and i‘ve learned about zheng says the yellow river civilization has vanished？i know that my ancestors have made miracles on this fertile land and we‘re still making miracles. who can ignore the fact that we have established ourselves as a great state in the world， that we have devised our own nuclear weapons， that we have successfully sent our satellites into space， and that our gnp ranks no. 7 in the world？ we have experienced the plunders by other nations， and we have experienced the war. yet， based on such ruins， there still stands our nation----china， unyielding and unconquerable！
i once came across an american tourist. she said， ―china has a history of five thousand years， but the us only has a history of 200 years. five thousand years ago， china took the lead in the world， and now it is the us that is leading.‖ my heart was deeply touched by these words. it is true that we‘re still a developing nation， but it doesn‘t mean that we can despise ourselves. we have such a long-standing history， we have such abundant resources， we have such intelligent and diligent people， and we have enough to be proud of. we have
reasons to say proudly： we are sure to take the lead in the world in the future again， for our problems are big， but our ambition is even bigger， our challenges are great， but our will is even greater.
i am chinese. i have inherited black hair and black eyes. i have inherited the virtues of my ancestors. i have also taken over responsibility. i am sure， that wherever i go， whatever i do， i shall never forget that i am chinese！

Never, Never Give Up
We often hear people say, “Never give up.” These can be encouraging words and words of determination. A person who believes in them will keep trying to reach his goal no matter how many times he fails. In my opinion, the quality of determination to succeed is an important one to have. Therefore, I believe that we should never give up.
One reason is that if we give up too easily, we will rarely achieve anything. It is not unusual for us to fail in our first attempt at something new, so we should not feel discouraged and should try again. Besides, if we always give up when we fail, we will not be able to develop new skills and grow as people. Another reason we should never give up is that we can learn from our mistakes only if we make a new effort. If we do not try again, the lesson we have learned is wasted. Finally, we should never give up because as we work to reach our goals, we develop confidence, and this confidence can help us succeed in other areas of our lives. If we never challenge ourselves, we will begin to doubt our abilities.
In short, it is important that we do not give up when working for our goals. Whether we succeed in the end or not, we will learn something, and what we learn will help us to become better, more confident people. Furthermore, if we give up, we have non chance of attaining our goals, but if we keep trying, there is always a chance that we will succeed one day.
as everyone knows，english is very important has been used everywhere in the has become the most common language on internet and for international trade. if we can speak english well，we will have more chance to use more and more people have taken notice of it，the number of the people who go to learn english has increased at a high speed.
but for myself，i learn english not only because of its importance and its usefulness，but also because of my love for i learn english， i can feel a different way of thinking which gives me more room to touch the i read english novels，i can feel the pleasure from the book which is different from reading the i speak english， i can feel the confident from my i write english，i can see the beauty which is not the same as our chinese...
i love english，it gives me a colorful dream.i hope i can travel around the world one day. with my good english， i can make friends with many people from different contries.i can see many places of great interests.i dream that i can go to london，because it is the birth place of english.
i also want to use my good english to introduce our great places to the english spoken people，i hope that they can love our country like us.
i know， rome was not built in a day. i believe that after continuous hard study， one day i can speak english very well.
if you want to be loved， you should learn to love and be lovable. so i believe as i love english everyday ， it will love me too.
i am sure that i will realize my dream one day！
thank you！
We Need A Blue Sky
In recent years heavy smog often appear in many cities of China, which has brought bad impact on our daily life. Since the value of PM2.5 inthe air is in the high level, many people wear masks to protect themselves when going out. Once in an area, due to the emissions of smoke from coal burning and car exhaust, the atmosphere was so heavily polluted that people couldn’t see their own fingers just in front of them and some schools and airports had to close down.
When a strong sand storm is blowing, the whole sky will turn darker and darker. It looked as if we had been spending the night when the sun is high upin the sky. It is high time we tackled with the pollution problems.
All factories in the cities that puff heavy smoke should be closed down or moved into the remote areas. All cars that emit black smoke should be banned from running on the roads. If we don’ttake resolute measures to protect our environment, our sky will never turn blue again,the air we breathe in every day will never be clean and our health will be deteriorating day by day. Therefore we appeal to the entire fellow country men, let’s take concerted action to safeguard our living environment.
Premier Li Qiang, in his work report, had called on us to tackle with the pollution problems. Following the Premier’s call, some local governments had taken some measures, such as reducing the use of coal and putting restrictions on the use of private cars to fight against the pollution. As long as
we take resolute measures to protect our environment, we can see a clear
blue sky in the near future.
English is a West Germanic language that developed in England during the Anglo-Saxon era. As a result of the military, economic, scientific, political, and cultural influence of the British Empire during the 18th, 19th, and early 20th centuries and of the United States since the mid 20th century,it has become the lingua franca in many parts of the world. It is used extensively as a second language and as an official language in Commonwealth countries and many international organizations.
Historically, English originated from several dialects, now collectively termed Old English, which were brought to Great Britain by Anglo-Saxon settlers beginning in the 5th century. The language was influenced by the Old Norse language of Viking invaders. After the Norman conquest, Old English developed into Middle English, borrowing heavily from the Norman (Anglo-French) vocabulary and spelling conventions. The etymology of the word "English" is a derivation from 12th century Old English: englisc or Engle, and plural form Angles; definition of, relating to, or characteristic of England. Modern English developed with the Great Vowel Shift that began in 15th-century England, and continues to adopt foreign words from a variety of languages, as well as coining new words. A significant number of English words, especially technical words, have been constructed based on roots from Latin and ancient Greek.
most people would like to be popular with others， but not everyone can achieve this goal. what is the secret to popularity？ in fact， it is very simple. the first step is to improve our appearance. we should always make sure that we stay in good shape and dress well. when we are healthy and well-groomed， we will not only look better but also feel better. in addition， we should smile and appear friendly. after all， our facial expression is an important part of our appearance. if we can do this， people will be attracted to our good looks and impressed by our confidence.
another important step is developing more consideration for others. we should always put others first and place their interests before our own. it＇s also important to be good listeners； in this way people will feel comfortable enough to confide in us. however， no matter what we do， we must not gossip. above all， we must remember to be ourselves， not phonies. only by being sincere and respectful of others can we earn their respect. if we can do all of the above， i am sure popularity will come our way.
