Nowadays, people prefer to travel byair. This is because air travel has some advantages. First of all, airplane,the miracle created by man, is the fastest means of transport. It takes theleast time for one to travel by air from one place to another. Besides,traveling by air is convenient and comfortable. Friendly air hostesses areaffectionate and considerate. They look after passengers all the way to theirdestinations. In addition, on long distance flights there are films and musicfor people to entertain themselves.
现在，人们喜欢坐飞机去旅游。这是因为坐飞机旅游有一些优点。首先，飞机是人类发明的奇迹，是最快的交通方式。坐飞机从一个地方到另一个地方花的时间最少。此外，坐飞机旅游方便舒适。友好的空姐深情体贴。她们一路上都照顾乘客。另外，长途飞行有电影和音乐给人们自娱自乐。
As a popular saying goes,"Everything has two sides." The same is true of air travel. It hassome disadvantages, too. For one thing, air travel is expensive. The averageChinese are not rich enough to afford expensive air fares. So they prefer totake trains, which save a lot of money. For another, although passengers areassured of their safety, they are still worried about it during the journeybecause flying always involves more or less risk.
正如一句流行的话说的：“任何事物都有两面性。”航空旅游也一样，它也有一些缺点。一方面，航空旅游费用昂贵。一般的中国人都不是很富裕，付不起昂贵的航空费用。所以他们宁愿坐火车，这样能节省很多钱。另一方面，尽管乘客们有安全保障，他们在旅途中还是会担心，因为飞行或多或少总包括一些风险。
As far I am concerned, the advantagesmentioned above exceed the disadvantages. If I were given choice betweentraveling by air and by train, I would certainly prefer the former, especially the longdistance journey, because time is the most important thing I have to take intoconsideration whatever I do.
在我看来，上述优点多于缺点。如果让我在火车和飞机之间选择,我宁愿选择前者，特别是长途旅行，因为不管我做什么，时间是我应该考虑的最重要的东西。

精彩英语作文:Major and Job 专业与就业(收藏)
When students come to the university, they will treat their major as the big deal, because the major will decide their future. Most students consider the job potential when they choose the major. In my opinion, each major will have the relative job potential, it is our hard working that helps us to be successful.
当学生来到大学,他们会把专业当作大事,因为专业将会决定他们的未来。大多数学生在选择专业时主要考虑到工作前景。在我看来,每个专业都有相对的工作潜力,我们的努力才是帮助我们取得成功的因素。
As a graduate student, I have to find a job and I have got many interviews, but I haven’t found the good job, so I am still fighting for my future. I major in English, before I chose it as my major, many people told me that it was easy to find a job and I did research the information on the Internet. I made my choice, but now I realized that finding a job is easy while not for the satisfying one.
作为一个研究生,我必须得找到一份工作,我有很多的面试,但我还没找到好工作,所以我还得为我的未来而战。我主修英语,之前我选择它作为我的专业,是因为很多人告诉我,很容易找到工作,我也在互联网上搜索了信息。我做了选择,但是现在我意识到找工作是很容易的，但是找到令人满意的却很难。
When some high school students ask my opinion about the major, my answer is the interest comes first. None of the major can promise you the promising future, you need to stand out and then you will achieve great success no matter what major you learn.
当一些高中学生问我专业的意见时,我的答案是兴趣。没有哪一个专业可以保证美好的未来,你需要脱颖而出,然后你就会取得巨大的成功，不管你学什么专业。
精彩英语作文:工作的价值 The Value of Work(收藏)
When it comes to the topic “What’s the value of work?”, different people hold different points of view.
当人们谈论到“工作的价值是什么”这个话题时，不同的人有不同的观点。
A group of people think that work is just a method for living. They hope that they could spend as little as possible to earn as much money as possible. The more money they make and the less time they spend, the more value the work has. Put that in another way, the value of work is measured in terms of money.一些人认为，工作只是生存的一种手段。他们希望尽可能少花费去赚取更多的钱。花越少的精力和时间赚到越多的钱，工作就越有价值。换个说法，工作的价值是用金钱衡量的。
Some think that we should work for our dreams. We do the job just because we love it. Focusing time and energy on what we love makes us fulfilling. The purpose for which we work should be making contribution to society’s development and at the same time improving ourselves.另一些人则认为，我们应该为理想而工作。我们因为喜欢而做一项工作。把时间和精力放在我们喜欢的事情上让我们感到充实。我们工作的目的应该是在为社会发展做贡献的同时提高自我。
In my opinion, I agree that work is equipment. But that’s not all work of value. When choosing work, we should measure the reward and our dream. I am sure that people would put more efforts into the things they like, and someday they will get anything they deserve in return. And that’s the value of work in my mind.在我看来，我同意工作是生存的一种手段这一说法。但是，那并不是工作的全部价值。在选择工作的时候，我们应该权衡好回报和个人理想。我坚信,人们对于自己喜欢的事会付出更多的努力，而总有一天，他们会得到应有的回报。那才是我心目中工作的价值。

No one can have failed to notice the fact that water shortage is a grave problem with which the whole world is confronted. Actually, it has become so widespread that it has severely affected people’s daily life and hindered the development of the global economy.
