英语作文篇6

　　Back in 1986, during my last year of high school, there was a radio trivia contest to win tickets to a concert. I didn’t have much money, but I really wanted to go see this particular group, so I sat myself beside the radio one Monday morning, phone in hand, and waited. Now, my head has always been overflowing with completely useless information –probably more so at that time in my life– so I knew I stood just as good a chance as anybody else. Finally, they asked the question: “What was David Bowie’s theatrical rock-star persona backed by the Spiders from Mars?” I dialed as quickly as I could, but (hampered by my old rotary phone, no doubt) I was not the first, and so didn’t win the tickets. For three more mornings, I did the same, each time knowing the answer, but failing to be the first to call. On that Friday, however, the question was much harder: “Whose band did Canadian singer Gowan borrow for the recording of his Strange Animal LP?” This time I won the tickets. The answer, by the way, is Peter Gabriel, who was recording in the same studio around the same time.)

　　I was proud of my accomplishment, elated by that vindication of the sheer width and breadth of the mostly impractical data stogged tight into my brain. It seems a little foolish in retrospect, but the accumulation of knowledge was –for me– the most distinguishing facet of my self-identity.

　　Back then, information was far less transitory. I remember reading and studying endlessly, trying to retain every nugget of information I could, whether it was useful or not. Now, I have become lazy. When a question is asked and I don’t know the response, a quick search on the Net will generally take me directly to the right information. The question answered, the details then drop away from my mind, and I usually forget it completely. I suspect most people do this nowadays, relying upon the Net far more than memory. When someone dials a friend from Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, are they really choosing their most knowledgeable friend, or simply the fastest with Google? Who would you phone?

英语作文篇8

　　With ever-increasing living standard, people pay growing preference to traveling. And the week-long holiday is precisely a favorable option for the traveling-eager people, through which they can free themselves from the endless and pressing work temporarily and gain some entertainment. Besides, the traveling during the week-long holiday does boost business tremendously in our country.

　　However, just as a saying goes, every coin has two sides. While the week-long traveling endows us with a lot of benefits, it also brings about some problems which cannot be ignored. Here go some of the problems. To begin with, the traveling during the golden week may over push the business, triggering off a overheated economy. Secondly, during the holiday, innumerable traveling expeditions are flocking to the bus stations, train stations and airports, causing tedious traffic jams and thus adding some undesirable matters to the should-be-gleeful trip. Too heavy traffic not only delays the time of arriving at the destination, but is also the source of traffic accidents. Last but not least, the nonstop-growing visitors’ pouring into the resorts will downright overload the places of interest and invoke some unwelcome damages to the relics. It is widely acknowledged that our treasury department spend a large amount of money preserving the damaged relics.

　　From my perspective, I do hold that the disadvantage of the week-long travel outweighs its advantage. To maximize its negative impact, I think we can shorten the span of the holiday by adding more holidays to the traditional Chinese festivals such as mid-autumn festival, tomb-sweeping day, etc. this on the one hand can release all the negative effects mentioned above, and on the other hand place more emphasis to our traditional culture.
